Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Aang, Katara, Zuko, Pax, Fulgur, Oswald, and Ness leave Wisdom City and return to the space area and they see Bygone Fortress and the dark barrier is still gone.
"That dark barrier is still out!" Ken said.
"That means I can go back and finish what I started." Noel said.
"More Black Xetis and Heartless will come and try to stand in our way, but we'll fight them off and get to where that Keyhole is at." Pax said.
"Let's go and settle this." Fulgur said.
Noel points Radiant Salvation at Bygone Fortress and creates a light trail and creates a light portal and the group follow the light trail and enter the light portal and enter Bygone Fortress.
The light portal appears in the deserted field and the group fly out of the light portal.
"Finally! Freakin' back at Bygone Fortress!" Ken said.
"This place is going to be more dangerous that it already was." Aang said.
"We don't have much time. We have to get to that Keyhole before anymore darkness can come out of it." Espio said.
"Right. Let's hurry." Noel said.
"You lead since you've been here before." Pax said.
The group start moving through the deserted field but just then Werewolf Black Xetis and Soldier Heartless appear and attack the group but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Thunder while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a rapier and gracefully slashes but the Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws while the Soldier Heartless spin kick at the group but Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Fire while Ness uses PK Flash but the Werewolf Black Xetis howl but Grace uses Growl but the Soldier Heartless leap kick at the group but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol but the Werewolf Black Xetis bite with their fangs while the Soldier Heartless attack with their claws but Alibaba slashes with his knife while Morgiana delivers strong punches and then somersault kicks but Werewolf Black Xetis enter their berserk mode and attack in their frenzy but Knuckles double punches and then uses Uppercut while Espio slashes with his shuriken and then delivers multi ninja kicks while Cream sends Cheese to attack but the Soldier Heartless spin kick at the group but Zuko delivers a flame kick while Katara throws ice needles while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them but the Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws in fury while the Soldier Heartless leap kick but Fulgur slashes with Sky's Volt while Oswald slashes with his sword but the Werewolf Black Xetis unleash howls while the Soldier Heartless attack with their claws but Noel uses Strike Raid and defeats the Werewolf Black Xetis and the Soldier Heartless.

"Ness, you're back. Noel! You're okay." Paula said.
"How much Black Xetis and Heartless are there?" Noel asked.
"Too many in that castle. Too many to handle." Jeff answered.
"We have to go back to that castle. I can't let the Keyhole unleash more darkness." Noel said.
"If you insist on going, then we will accompany you." Poo said.
"Then let's hurry." Katara said.

The group find the next lift and they use the lift to take them to the next part of the lift room and go to the room with the many windows that shoot energy balls but the group dodge the energy balls and keep going until they reach the end and arrive at the next room with the stairs leading upward and the group climb upstairs and reach the upper hallway and they reach the end and they run into the big door and Noel opens it and they arrive at the throne room where they fought Nightmare.
"We're almost there." Noel said.
"I'm guessing the Keyhole is in the next room?" Pax asked.
"Yes." Noel answered.
"It's just that way." Carmelita said pointing at the hole at the end of the throne room.
"Let's hurry and finish this." Zuko said.
Just then Black Xetis and Heartless appear.
"Not now!" Ken yelled.
"Go!" Paula said.
"We'll stop them!" Jeff said and Ness nods.
"Are you sure?" Noel asked.
"You have come this far. Go and finish." Poo said.
"Thank you." Noel said.
The group leave the throne room and go through the hole and arrive at the hallway and go through the hallway and they arrive at the Chapel of Heart and they climb up the stairs and reach the chapel and reach the altar.
"Finally." Noel said but then she notices something on the giant heart shaped door where the Heart Crystals were. "Where are the Heart Crystals? They were here." Noel said.
"Doesn't matter. That Keyhole is still in there. We gotta hurry and seal it." Knuckles said.
"You're right. It doesn't matter." A voice said.
The group see something appearing and it's a young man with pale skin, spiky dark green long hair with big bangs on both shoulders, dark green eyes with slit pupils, wearing a grey shirt, dark blue pants with black chain like markings on each side, black and red shoes, and black gloves and he has a sinister smile.
"Zervik!" Fulgur said with hostility.
"So that's Zervik. The one Rixla told about. Her master…" Noel said.
"What are you doing here?" Oswald asked.
"Well, since Rixla has finally revealed the Keyhole and darkness is spreading from it, just like the Keyhole in Void Citadel after Virtus' heart has been extracted, I figured I would visit this world to see what darkness would be released. I've rewarded Rixla with those Heart Crystals, so she can do whatever she wants with them. Meanwhile, I'll use that Keyhole to unleashes major darkness!" Zervik said.
"That won't happen, you damned monster!" Fulgur said as he attacks at Zervik with Sky's Volt.
"You just don't know when to give up, Fulgur. It's over. I win! Let me show you just what I mean." Zervik said as roaring is heard from the vault from the heart door.
"Oh, no!" Noel said.
"We have to hurry and see what's happening." Alibaba said.
"Good luck, fools. You'll be destroyed." Zervik said as he vanishes.
"Damn that bastard to hell!" I'm going after him! Pax, help Noel finish the job!" Fulgur said as he charges at Zervik who already disappears in dark mist but Fulgur has reached the dark mist.
"He'd want me to follow. Go settle things, Noel. Good luck." Oswald said as he goes for the dark mist.
"Master Fulgur. Noel, come one." Pax said.
"Okay." Noel said.
The group make their way into the giant vault where the gold Heart Crystal is but it's gone as well and while looking around the vault Noel finds the Keyhole.
"This is it. Now to seal it." Noel said but then a shaking occurs.
"What now?!" Kazooie asked.
"Look!" Morgiana said.
The group see something emerging from the Keyhole and it's a giant black Minotaur with crimson horns, a giant grey horn on its face, crimson hooves, and the Black Xeti symbol on its chest.
"One Black Xeti after another." Zuko said.
"How annoying. Let's destroy it." Ken said.
"Let's hope e can hurry." Noel said.
The Black Xeti known as Killotaur charges at the group with its horns but the group dodge and while Killotaur is trying to move again Noel and Pax both get on Killotaur's back and Noel starts striking at the face horn with Radiant Salvation while Pax vertical slashes with Way to Peace but Killotaur charges its horns and then unleashes energy shots from the air and they rain down at the group who dodge but Noel and Pax keep striking at the face horn with their Keyblades and after enough strikes Killotaur is now stunned and falls to the ground still stunned.
"We've figured out its weakness! The face horn!" Pax said.
"Strike at it!" Noel said.
"Right!" Aang said.
While Killotaur is stunned Noel and Pax slashes at the horn with their Keyblades while Ken shoots magic music notes and then casts Thunder while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace uses Tackle while Espio slashes with his shuriken while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes while Knuckles uses Drill Punch while Carmelita shoots four electric shots from her shock pistol while Alibaba slashes with his knife while Morgiana flip kicks while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Katara throws ice needles while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but after a few strikes Killotaur recovers itself and then stomps on the ground and causes earthquakes but the group avoid the earthquakes but Killotaur prepares to charge again.
"He's charging again! Move and then we'll climb up and strike!" Pax said.
"Got it!" Banjo said.
Killotaur charges at the group again but they dodge and Noel and Pax get on Killotaur's back again and Noel uses Edge Slash to strike at the horn while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a hammer and swings it to strike but Killotaur attempts to get the two off but Ken casts Earth while Grace gets on the back and then tail whips but Killotaur charges its horns again but Zuko unleashes a jet of flames while Morgiana delivers a leap kick while Carmelita shoots charged electric shots but Killotaur stomps all over the vault and then manages to get Noel and Pax off but Pax casts Graviga while Noel casts Fire and they damage the horns and Killotaur is stunned again allowing Noel to aerial slash at the horn with Radiant Salvation while Pax transforms Way to Peace into an ax and swings it heavily while Ken shoots magic music notes while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace uses Bite while Espio uses Leaf Swirl while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles uses Uppercut while Carmelita pistol whips while Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Morgiana spin kicks while Aang delivers air slashes while Katara throws water discs while Zuko slashes with his broadswords but after a few strikes Killotaur recovers and stomps on the ground and causes earthquakes but the group dodge.
Killotaur charges its horns again and then unleashes energy shots from the air and they rain down at the group but they dodge and they try to get on Killotaur's back but Killotaur stomps all over the vault and then goes for the group but Noel gets back on the back and starts slashing with Radiant Salvation and then uses Blitz but Killotaur attempts to grab Noel to make her get off but Pax leaps forward and then delivers a diagonal slash at Killotaur and strikes at its arm making Killotaur scream in rage and tries to charge at Pax with its horns but Ken casts Earth while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Morgiana delivers a dive kick while Espio throws four shurikens while Carmelita shoots electric shots while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs but Killotaur charges its horns again but Noel uses Strike Raid at the horns and after her final Keyblade throw Killotaur stumbles down and is stunned again allowing Noel to slash with Radiant Salvation while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a staff and then strikes but Killotaur quickly recovers itself and unleashes a roar of rage and then slams its fists against the ground and causes a major shake around the vault.
"This isn't good." Noel said and the shaking is making numerous debris fall to the ground.
"It's mad." Cream said.
"More like pissed!" Ken said and Killotaur keeps rampaging the vault and another shaking occurs and just then the group feel like falling.
"What's happening now?" Katara said.
"The castle! It feels like it's falling apart!" Pax said.
"That stupid Black Xeti is the cause of that!" Knuckles said.
Killotaur then keeps rampaging and more debris is falling and everything is crumbling and the Chapel of Heart is breaking apart revealing the outside and the castle is falling from the sky.
"The castle is falling! We have to do something now." Noel said.
"Destroy the Black Xeti!" Alibaba said.
Killotaur roars at the group and then tries to deliver a huge swipe at them but Noel aerial slashes at the horn with Radiant Salvation while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a club and strikes at the horn but Killotaur charges at the group but they dodge and Ken throws magic music bombs while Banjo has Kazooie to charge while Grace uses Tackle but Killotaur stomps on the ground and causes more debris to fall but the group dodge and Espio throws five shurikens while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes while Knuckles uses Uppercut but Killotaur charges its horns again and then unleashes more raining energy shots at the group but Carmelita shoots four electric shots from her shock pistol while Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Morgiana uses Battle Cry but Killotaur charges at the group with its horns and then tries to swipe at the group but Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Katara throws ice daggers while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but Killotaur roars again and then slams the ground and causes more debris to fall and then destroys more of the inside of the castle.
As the castle continues to fall Killotaur charges its horns and unleashes raining energy shots at the group and then stomps on the ground and causes more debris to fall on the group who dodge and Noel gets on Killotaur's back and slashes at the horn with Radiant Salvation and then uses Blitz while Pax aerial slashes with Way to Peace and then vertical slashes but Killotaur swipes at the group but Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Blizzard while Grace uses Growl but Killotaur charges at the group who dodge and Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Carmelita pistol whips but Killotaur stomps on the ground again but Alibaba roundhouse slashes with his knife while Morgiana delivers a somersault kick but Killotaur charges its horns again and rains down more energy shots at the group but Cream and Cheese spin together to strike while Knuckles delivers a glide punch while Espio delivers multi ninja kicks but Killotaur picks up some debris and throws it at the group but Zuko lashes with his flame whips while Katara unleashes a stream of water while Aang throws air balls but Killotaur swipes at the group but Noel and Pax both leap at Killotaur and then they deliver diagonal slashes with their Keyblades and make Killotaur stumble back but Killotaur grabs the two who manage to break free and dive slash at the horn knocking the Black Xeti down.
After Killotaur falls to the ground it disappears into dark mist and then the ground breaks apart and the group stay on the ground and the castle continues to fall and this time at maximum velocity while debris keep falling.
"What do we do?" Aang asked.
"I have to seal the Keyhole." Noel said.
"But the castle is falling faster. We won't make it!" Pax said.
"I can hurry!" Noel said.
Noel makes her way back to the vault area but more debris keep falling and block her way but Noel casts Earth to get rid of the debris and makes her way to the Keyhole.
"Okay. I have to…" Noel was cut off by something and it's more debris and they block the path to the Keyhole. "No!" Noel said as she tries to get to the Keyhole but then a dark explosion occurs in the castle.
The castle that's still falling explodes before making contact to the ground near the deserted village and then everything goes white for a second and later on it's now revealed that the castle of Bygone Fortress is now destroyed and in ruins and Pax, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, and Zuko are in the deserted village and are in a light barrier created by Pax.
"Noel! Where are you!?" Ken asked.
"Tell me she's still alive." Katara said.
Just then some rubble is being removed and something escapes and it's Noel who walks over to the now dissipated light barrier and goes for the group.
"Noel, you're okay!" Banjo said.
"Yeah, but I didn't get a chance to seal the Keyhole." Noel said.
Just then something glows behind Noel and she turns to see that it's the Keyhole now on the ruined wall.
"The Keyhole." Noel said.
"Good. Now to seal it." Alibaba said.
"Noel, you did it!" A voice said and Noel turns to see Ry and Tsubaki and with them are Rajin, Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo.
"Ness, you're okay. Your friends are too." Noel said and Ness nods.
"Ry got us out of here before this castle fell." Paula said.
"That was fortunate." Jeff said.
"Ry, Tsubaki. You're here, but why?" Noel asked.
"This is our home. We wanted to see it again." Tsubaki answered.
"It's in horrible shape since the Fearmongers took over, but everything will be over once Rixla is defeated." Ry said.
"In fact, once Rixla is defeated, everything should be restored, including your city and your friends' home worlds." Tsubaki said.
"That's great!" Noel said.
"But that also means goodbye. Because, once the worlds are restored, they will be separated again and everyone will go back to where they came from." Tsubaki said.
"What about if I use my light portals?" Noel asked.
"It might work, but that won't be simple. When the worlds become disconnected again, walls that the Black Xetis and the Heartless destroyed will be rebuilt. You won't be able to even get past the walls." Ry said.
"So, I guess we'll never…" Noel stops talking.
"That's right. You won't be able to see the new friends you've met in different worlds again, and you won't possibly see your friends, who traveled with you again either. We won't ever meet again, but I know we won't forget each other." Ry said.
"That's right. Our hearts will bring us together again, no matter how far." Tsubaki said.
"I won't forget you either." Noel said.
"Come on, Noel. Let's seal that Keyhole." Pax said and Noel nods.
"Noel, good luck." Ry said and Noel nods.
"Thank you." Noel said as she walks over to the Keyhole and uses Radiant Salvation to seal the final Keyhole and prevents the darkness from spreading around Bygone Fortress.
"It's done." Espio said.
"Yes, but now Rixla is still out there." Zuko said.
"She has to be somewhere in the darkness itself." Pax said.
"We'll have to find her there, but how?" Noel asked.
"I could be of assistance." A voice said and the group see the same white cloaked figure.
"You." Knuckles said.
"What are you doing here?" Carmelita asked.
"I can tell you where Rixla is. She is in a world of darkness. She is in the dark world of the Black Xetis." The white cloaked figure said.
"Really? Well, can you take us there?" Banjo asked.
"Yes. Fortunately, I am able to create a pathway for you all to go there. I have led Virtus and his friends to the world of the Black Xetis, but you must hurry to it, so I shall use my power to create a dark pathway." The white cloaked figure said.
"Well, then, let a rip!" Ken said.
"If you insist." The white cloaked figure said as he summons his Keyblade and uses his power to create a black portal. "This portal will take you the dark world. Be warned, Black Xetis are more dangerous in their world. Be on guard." The white cloaked figure said.
"I'm ready to handle this. Everyone?" Noel asked to her friends.
"Yes. I'm going." Pax said.
"Hell yeah! I'm comin'!" Ken said.
"Kazooie and I will go along with you, no matter what." Banjo said.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Kazooie said.
"Eevee!" Grace said jumping in Noel's arms.
"This will not be easy, but we must destroy the evil." Espio said.
"Cheese and I are not running away! We're going too!" Cream said.
"Chao! Chao!" Cheese said.
"I'll bash anything that comes my way!" Knuckles said.
"Let's go and bring all those Black Xetis to justice!" Carmelita said.
"I'm more than prepared! Let's do this!" Alibaba said.
"I, too stand ready." Morgiana said.
"This will be harder, but I know we can do this together." Aang said.
"Let's go save the worlds and bring peace back!" Katara said.
"I'm staying by your side. Let's settle this!" Zuko said.
"Okay then. Let's go." Noel said as she enters the black portal and the others follow her.
"Good luck to you, Noel." The white cloaked figure said as he vanishes.
The group are now in a black ethereal place and several Black Xeti symbols are around.
"He said this will lead us to the dark world of the Black Xetis. Let's go find what will lead us." Noel said and her friends nod.
The group go through the black portal and as they keep moving they find a black and crimson hole.
"This it?" Ken asked.
"It has to be . Let's go." Noel said as she enters the black and crimson hole and her friends follow her.
And chapter end! I hope you enjoyed this intense chapter! Now, we're REALLY nearing the end, people! I'm so EXCITED! This story is about to be finished and we'll move on! Anyway, next time, Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Pax arrive at the dark world, and will make and fight their way through the dark world to find and stop Rixla.
