Chapter 52: World's Distortion
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Pax fly out of the black and crimson hole and they find themselves in what looks like a dark cave and as they get out of the cave they are outside and they find themselves in what looks like a wasteland with dark crimson skies that's pouring down black rain, had lots of dead trees around the wasteland, and a black full moon hanging above the crimson sky.
"I'm not liking this place…" Cream said.
"It's so…evil." Aang said.
"So this is the dark world of the Black Xetis?" Banjo asked.
"Looks like it and Rixla has to be here somewhere." Alibaba said.
"But if we do defeat Rixla and all the worlds will be restored and disconnected, what will happen to this world, and to us?" Noel asked.
"Uh, that's a good question, but…I dunno." Ken said.
"Well, it's a Black Xeti world, so it might just disappear." Pax said.
"Are you serious?" Knuckles asked.
"We shouldn't worry, because even if this world disappears, our hearts won't be consumed by the darkness. I know for sure that we'll see the ones we care about again." Pax said.
"Y-You're right, Pax. I know we'll be okay. More than okay." Noel said as she takes out the silver scarf Luke gave her. "I'll see you again. I promise." Noel said in her mind.
"Okay, we can't waste any time here. Let's hurry." Zuko said.
"They'll be Black Xetis around to try and stop us, but we'll handle them." Carmelita said.
The group start moving through the wasteland but while traversing they see a giant black and crimson twister appearing and coming at the group and although they try to escape the black and crimson twister gets them and are now trapped in the black and crimson twister.
In the twister Spider Black Xetis and Wraith Black Xetis appear and attack the group but Noel and Pax slash with their Keyblades but the Spider Black Xetis shoot webs at the group but Ken gets on his guitar and starts riding it like a skateboard while shooting magic music notes until Ken unleashes a giant magic music note but the Wraith Black Xetis attack with their skeletal claws but Grace uses Tackle while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck but the Spider Black Xetis unleash venom while the Wraith Black Xetis throw dark discs but Alibaba slashes with his knife while Morgiana delivers a strong spin kick but the Spider Black Xetis trap the group with webs but Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol but the Wraith Black Xetis attack with their skeletal claws but Espio slashes with his shuriken while Knuckles uses Drill Punch while Cream sends Cheese to attack but the Wraith Black Xetis throw dark discs while the Spider Black Xetis attack with their legs but Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Katara throws ice daggers while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but the Spider Black Xetis shoot webs while the Wraith Black Xetis attack with their skeletal claws but Noel uses Pure Splicer and defeats the Black Xetis and then the black and crimson twister dissipates and the group are back at the wasteland.
The group continue on through the wasteland but then another black and crimson twister appears and goes for the group and it traps the group and they see Warlock Black Xetis and Dark Knight Black Xetis and they attack the group but Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a swing slash while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a katana and slashes at the Black Xetis but the Warlock Black Xetis cast fire spells while the Dark Knight Black Xetis slash with their swords but Ken throws magic music bombs while Grace uses Growl but the Warlock Black Xetis unleash dark pillar spells at the group but Banjo has Kazooie charge but the Dark Knight Black Xetis slam their swords at the group but Carmelita spin kicks but the Warlock Black Xetis cast thunder spells at the group while the Dark Knight Black Xetis deliver powerful kicks but Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Morgiana delivers a strong flip kick but the Dark Knight Black Xetis unleash dark slash streaks at the group while the Warlock Black Xetis cast dark beams but Zuko delivers a flame kick while Katara throws water discs while Aang throws air balls but the Warlock Black Xetis warp and then reappear and cast blizzard spells while the Dark Knight Black Xetis swing slash with their swords but Knuckles uses Uppercut while Espio throws four shurikens while Cream unleashes Omochao Bombs and they explode but the Warlock Black Xetis unleash dark pillars while the Dark Knight Black Xetis slam their swords but Noel uses Blitz and defeats the Black Xetis and the black and crimson twister disappears and the group return to the wasteland.
The group keep going through the wasteland but another black and crimson twister appears and goes for the group and despite the group trying to avoid it the black and crimson twister traps them and Zombie Black Xetis and Werewolf Black Xetis appear and attack the group but Noel uses Strike Raid while Pax vertical slashes with Way to Peace and then casts Thundaga but the Zombie Black Xetis spin attack with their limbs while the Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws and then bite with their fangs but Ken casts Earth and then unleashes magic music waves while Grace tail whips but the Werewolf Black Xetis unleash howls while the Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs but Carmelita shoots charged electric shots while Banjo and Kazooie roll but the Werewolf Black Xetis bite with their fangs while the Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs but Alibaba roundhouse slashes with his knife while Morgiana uses Battle Cry but the Zombie Black Xetis spin attack with their limbs while the Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their tails but Knuckles double punches and then delivers a headbutt while Espio multi ninja kicks while Cream sends Cheese to attack but the Werewolf Black Xetis enter their berserk mode and attack in their frenzy while the Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs but Zuko lashes with his flame whips while Katara unleashes a stream of water while Aang unleashes whirlwinds but the Zombie Black Xetis spin attack with their limbs while the Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws in their frenzy state and then unleashes howls but Noel dive slashes at the Black Xetis multiple times and then delivers a final dive slash and defeats the Black Xetis and the black and crimson twister disappears and they return to the wasteland.
The group keep going through the wasteland while keeping an eye out for anymore black and crimson twisters and they keep going through the wasteland and later on the group see a black mist and go in it and in the black mist the group can barely see anything while going through it but they keep moving through the black mist but just then the group hear a roar and something charges at them who dodge and the group see another Killotaur Black Xeti who charges at the group again but Noel gets on Killotaur's back and starts slashing at its horn with Radiant Salvation and then casts Gravity while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a bow and shoots light arrows at the horn but Killotaur charges its horns and then unleashes energy shots raining down at the group but they dodge and after enough strikes on the horn Killotaur is now stunned and while stunned Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation while Pax slashes with Way to Peace while Ken throws magic music bombs while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace tail whips while Espio slashes with his shuriken while Cream and Cheese spin together while Knuckles uses Uppercut while Carmelita pistol whips while Alibaba slashes with his knife while Morgiana flip kicks while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Katara water whips while Zuko slashes with his broadswords but Killotaur recovers itself and then stomps on the ground and unleashes earthquakes but the group avoid the earthquakes but Killotaur stomps toward the group and then charges at them but they dodge and Noel gets back on the back and slashes at the horn with Radiant Salvation and then uses Blitz while Pax slashes at the horn with Way to Peace but Killotaur tries to get them off it but Noel delivers a diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation and after a few strikes at the horn Killotaur is stunned again allowing Noel to aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a hammer and delivers a swing while Ken casts Earth while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace uses Tackle while Espio palm strikes while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles delivers a glide punch while Carmelita spin kicks while Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Morgiana delivers a leap kick while Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Katara throws water discs while Zuko delivers a flame kick and the group finish off Killotaur making it disappear in dark mist and the black mist disappears revealing an evil looking forest with evil looking trees and a flowing crimson water.
"More and more Black Xetis will come and try to attack us as we move on through this world. They'll try to prevent us from trying to find Rixla." Pax said.
"Where could she be?" Kazooie asked.
"This place might lead us to Rixla. Let's find a most dangerous place." Katara said.
"Fine by me, as long as I'll still beat the crap outta 'em all!" Ken said.
The group make their way through the evil looking forest and while they keep going they see something flowing through along the crimson river and the crimson water has multiple bones along with a skull.
"What the hell is that?" Ken asked.
"Is that a Black Xeti?" Aang asked.
"Bones…and a skull… Wait! That looks like a minion of Zervik. I think. It might have been defeated by my friend, Ky." Pax said.
"Whatever the case, let's keep going." Banjo said.
The group continue through the evil forest while looking out for anymore Black Xetis and later on the group leave the evil forest and are now in what looks like a sinister looking valley and they start moving through the valley but then Zombie Black Xetis appear and attack the group but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation while Pax slashes with Way to Peace and they defeat the Zombie Black Xetis and the group continue through the valley and go down a ravine area but then Dark Knight Black Xetis appear and slash at the group with their swords but Noel uses Blitz while Pax transforms Way to Peace into a nunchuku and strikes and they defeat the Dark Knight Black Xetis and the group continue on through the ravine until they come across an entrance that looks like a cave entrance.
"This cave could lead us to somewhere." Knuckles said.
"Somewhere dark and more evil." Carmelita said.
"Should we enter?" Morgiana asked.
"Yes. I think it's the best way." Noel said.
"Let's go." Pax said.
The group enter the cave and it's dark making it hard for the group to see but the group manage to get through the dark entrance of the cave and they find themselves in an evil looking cavern with lava flowing and so the group go through the cavern and go down to somewhere deeper but then lava starts to rise from a magma ground from below to prevent the group from moving down but the group keep going down the cavern and are now on the middle section of the cavern and they make their way more downward but lava rises up again to stop the group from going down but the group continue to climb down but then they find an edge at the end of the middle section but the group jump from the edge and manage to reach the next part of the cavern which is the lower part of the cavern but then lava from below starts to rise again and nearly goes for the group who quickly leave the cavern area and are now in the next area of the cave which is an area of falling rocks but the group dodge the falling rocks and find themselves in an area with more lava and there are multiple tiny rocks on the lava but the group manage to jump from the tiny rocks and reach the next part and leave the lava area arriving at another part of the cave and go through and later on Noel finds something and it's a giant hole and in it is a black portal.
"There is a portal in the hole. Where will it take us?" Noel asked.
"One way to find out. Let's go in it." Pax said.
The group jump into the black portal and later on the group are transported into a different area and it's a black mountain with various spikes around and the group look around.
"Now where can we go from here?" Espio asked.
"Find our way through this place and we'll find what we're looking for." Pax said.
"Keep going through this world, and you'll die here." A voice said.
The group look around to see where the voice came from and they see someone and it's the boy that Noel saw back at Silver Town and Pax recognizes the boy.
"This world is full of darkness. It will consume you, as you continue this pointless quest. Leave this place now." The boy said.
"Y-You…" Noel said.
"Hey! You're that damned punk that tried to kill Noel back at Silver Town!" Ken said.
"Hmph. I have no interest is remembering weaklings and trash." The boy said and he looks at Pax. "So, you're still alive, Pax. You're quite stubborn to be around." The boy said.
"Nex." Pax said.
"You know him, Pax?" Alibaba asked.
"Yeah. He's my…former friend. He's another person on the dark path." Pax said.
"And you and Ky have foolishly chosen the light path. It makes you weak." The boy named Nex said.
"Why are you here?" Pax asked.
"I thought it should be obvious. I'm close to finding my father's whereabouts and he has to be in this world. I won't stop at nothing until I find him here, and no one, not even you or that worthless trash girl will stop me!" Nex said as he takes out his Keyblade known as Death's Embrace and casts Dark Firaga at the group who dodge. "Disappear!" Nex yelled as he unleashes a giant shadow hand it delivers a punch at the group but Pax manages to dodge the shadow hand punch.
"Guys!" Pax said as he sees the group falling off the black mountain and then turns to Nex. "You're just proving yourself to be the monster everyone in Requiem City viewed you as! Do you even know where your hatred gets you?!" Pax demanded.
"My path is my own. Now, my father is close. Don't interfere, or you'll perish." Nex said as he leaps from the black mountain to another black mountain.
"Damn him. Noel, I'm sorry, but I have to stop this guy." Pax said as he sees a portal and uses it to transport him to the next black mountain.
Meanwhile in a different area which is a dark temple Noel is on the ground but she gets up and looks around but she doesn't see Pax, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, and Zuko around.
"Where am I now? Where are the others?" Noel asked.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"You're here and you're okay, Grace. We have to find our friends." Noel said.
"Eevee!" Grace said pointing at something.
"Huh?" Noel looks around and sees some portal beams. "Maybe this could be where the others are, but where to go to first?" Noel asked.
Noel looks at the portal beams and decides to go for the one on the left first and the portal beam transports her and Grace to a different place.
Noel and Grace are now in what looks like a city and are in what looks like a school and while looking around Noel finds Ken fighting Phantom Black Xetis and Zombie Black Xetis.
"Ken!" Noel said as she runs to him.
"Noel! Awesome! Just in time to beat some damned Black Xeti punks! Ready?!" Ken asked.
"Yes." Noel said as she takes out Radiant Salvation.
The Phantom Black Xetis attack the trio with their chains but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Blizzard while Ken bashes with his guitar and then casts Thunder while Grace uses Tackle but the Zombie Black Xetis attack with their limbs but Ken delivers a swipe with his guitar three times while unleashing magic musical pillars from both sides striking the Black Xetis and then unleashes another magic musical pillar while Grace uses Growl but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams while the Zombie Black Xetis spin attack at the group with their limbs but Noel uses Flip Slash to strike at the Black Xetis but the Phantom Black Xetis attack with their chains while the Zombie Black Xetis throw their limbs but Ken throws magic music bombs and then casts Earth while Grace uses Bite while Noel uses Blitz but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams while the Zombie Black Xetis dig underground and rise up to attack but Noel uses Pure Splicer while Ken shoots magic music notes while Grace tail whips and the trio defeat the Phantom Black Xetis and the Zombie Black Xetis.
"YAHOO! Easy as can be! You punks are a joke!" Ken said.
"It's not over yet, Ken. We still have to find our friends and still find Rixla." Noel said.
"I know. I know. Ya know, this place is familiar to me. Almost like…hold on! Yeah! This is my magic school at Platinum City! Or at least what looks like it." Ken said.
"Is this your home world?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. When you put it like that. I didn't wanna talk about it, since I wasn't too fond of it." Ken said.
"We'll make sure it's restored. Let's go back." Noel said.
"Okay, but how?" Ken asked.
"We'll find a way out." Noel said.
Noel, Ken, and Grace go through the magic school and later on they leave the school and go through Platinum City and soon Noel finds a portal exit and goes into it and Ken and Grace follow her.
Noel, Ken, and Grace are back in the dark temple area and Noel decides which next portal beam to go into next and so Noel goes for the portal beam next to the first one and the three are transported.
Noel, Ken, and Grace are now transported to what looks like a grassy field and at the end of it is a small house and in the center is what looks like a spiral mountain.
"Where the hell are we now?" Ken asked.
"Maybe it's another world that's fallen victim to the darkness' destruction." Noel suggested.
Just then Noel sees Banjo and Kazooie fighting off Werewolf Black Xetis and Vampirebat Black Xetis.
"Banjo and Kazooie are in trouble!" Noel said.
"Let's go help 'em out!" Ken said.
The three run into the fight and are at Banjo and Kazooie's side.
"Noel! Ken! Grace!" Banjo said.
"Now this'll be even more fun with you guys helpin' us beat these punks!" Kazooie said.
"Don't sweat it, Birdbrain!" Ken said.
"Let's go!" Noel said.
The Werewolf Black Xetis attack the group with their claws while the Vampirebat Black Xetis unleash sonic waves but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation while Ken casts Fire while Grace tail whips while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs but the Werewolf Black Xetis bite at the group with their fangs while the Vampirebat Black Xetis attack with their wings but Noel casts Thunder while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Grace uses Growl while Banjo has Kazooie triple pack but the Werewolf Black Xetis enter their berserk states and attack with their claws in a frenzy while the Vampirebat Black Xetis fly dives at the group but Noel aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Edge Slash while Ken casts Blizzard and then shoots magic music notes while Grace uses Bite while Bank has Kazooie charge but the Werewolf Black Xetis attack the group in their frenzy states while the Vampirebat Black Xetis unleash sonic waves but Noel dive slashes multiple times until she delivers a final dive slash while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Grace uses Tackle while Banjo and Kazooie roll and the group defeat the Black Xetis.
"Finally. Thought those things wouldn't go down." Kazooie said.
"You know, this place is kinda like our home." Banjo said.
"Oh, so you used to live here." Noel said.
"Yeah. It looks like it." Kazooie said.
"Wow. Hey, it'll be restored soon. Let's hurry and find our friends and settle our score against Rixla." Ken said.
"Sounds good." Banjo said.
"You're talkin' sense for once, Music boy." Kazooie said.
"Shuddup!" Ken said.
The group move through the grassy field and start going up the spiral mountain until they reach the top and they cross a bridge leading to a face of an evil witch and they find an exit portal and the group go in it.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, and Grace return to the dark temple and they go for the next portal beam and they are transported.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, and Grace are now transported to another grassy area but it's a jungle like place and while looking around they find Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles fighting off Spider Black Xetis and so the group run to the three and at their side.
"We're here to help you." Noel said.
"Good timing, Noel!" Knuckles said.
"Thank you, Miss Noel." Cream said.
"Let us punish the wicked." Espio said.
The Spider Black Xetis shoot venom at the group but Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Fire while Ken bashes with his guitar while Banjo has Kazooie charge while Grace uses Bite while Espio slashes with his shuriken while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles uses Drill Punch but the Spider Black Xetis shoot webs at the group but Noel uses Blitz while Ken throws magic music bombs while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace tail whips while Espio multi ninja kicks and then delivers a somersault kick while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes while Knuckles double punches but the Spider Black Xetis trap the group with their webs but Noel uses Strike Raid while Ken casts Thunder while Banjo has Kazooie charge while Grace uses Tackle while Espio delivers palm strikes while Cream and Cheese spin together and strike while Knuckles uses Uppercut and the group defeat the Spider Black Xetis.
"Black Xeti scum!" Knuckles said.
"This place. I know it." Espio said.
"I just want things to return to normal." Cream said.
"Everything will be restored once we defeat Rixla." Noel said.
"Let's get outta here." Ken said.
The group go through the jungle area and later on they find the exit portal and they go in it to transport them out of the jungle area.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles are transported back to the dark temple and Noel goes for the next portal beam and the group are transported.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles are transported to what looks like a city of Paris and so the group look around and they find Carmelita fighting off against Dark Knight Black Xetis and so the group run up to Carmelita to help her.
"Carmelita. We'll help you." Noel said.
"Thanks, Noel. Let's bring these fools to justice!" Carmelita said.
The Dark Knight Black Xetis slash at the group with their swords but Noel counters and vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Spin Slash while Ken throws magic music bombs while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace uses Bite while Espio throws four shurikens while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles double punches and then delivers a headbutt while Carmelita shoots electric shots but the Dark Knight Black Xetis slam their swords at the group but Noel uses Flip Slash while Ken casts Earth and then casts Fire while Banjo ahs Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace uses Growl while Espio slashes with his shuriken and then delivers palm strikes while Cream and Cheese spin together while Knuckles digs underground and then delivers a rising uppercut while Carmelita pistol whips but the Dark Knight Black Xetis swing their swords and then deliver powerful kicks but Noel uses Blitz while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Banjo has Kazooie charge while Grace uses Tackle while Espio uses Leaf Swirl while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb while Knuckles delivers a glide punch while Carmelita spin kicks and the group defeat the Dark Knight Black Xetis.
The group move through Paris until later on they find the exit portal and go in it and the group are transported.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, and Carmelita are back at the dark temple and Noel goes for the next portal beam and the group are transported to the next place.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, and Carmelita are now transported to what looks like an Arabian town and the group search around until they find Alibaba and Morgiana fighting off Warlock Black Xetis and the group run to the two to help them.
"Alibaba, Morgiana! I'm going to help you!" Noel said.
"Let's do this then, Noel!" Alibaba said.
"No holding back." Morgiana said.

Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, and Morgiana are back at the dark temple and Noel goes for thenext portal beam and it sends the group to another place.
The group are now transported to what looks like a snowy small village and they search around and they find Aang, Katara, and Zuko fighting off against Wraith Black Xetis and so the group run to the three to help them.
"We'll help you three!" Noel said.
"Okay, Noel. Let's go." Aang said.
"Time to settle this!" Katara said.
"I'm not losing here!" Zuko said.
The Wraith Black Xetis attack the group with their skeletal claws but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Flip Slash while Ken unleashes magic musical pillars while Banjo whacks with Kazooie while Grace uses Bite while Espio multi ninja kicks while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes while Knuckles double punches and delivers a glide punch while Carmelita spin kicks while Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Morgiana delivers a strong somersault kick while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Katara throws water discs while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but the Wraith Black Xetis throws dark discs but Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Thunder while Ken shoots magic music notes while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace uses Tackle while Espio uses Leaf Swirl while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles uses Uppercut while Carmelita shoots electric shots while Alibaba triple slashes with his knife while Morgiana flip kicks while Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Katara throws ice daggers while Zuko flame kicks and the group defeat the Wraith Black Xetis and the group move on through the snowy small village and later on Noel finds the portal exit and the group are transported.
The group are back in the dark temple and they see something in the center and it's another portal beam.
"Where will this lead us to now?" Carmelita asked.
"Who knows. Let's go see." Alibaba said.
The group enter the portal beam and they are transported from the dark temple and they are now transported to a dark church and the group look around the dark church and later on they find what looks like a white portal and so the group go for the white portal.
"Can this finally take us to Rixla?" Ken asked.
"It's unlikely." Noel answered.
"Let's go see what's in anyway. There could be something important too." Espio said.
"Okay. Come on." Banjo said and the group enter the white portal and leave the dark church.
Meanwhile at the black mountains Pax begins pursuing Nex from black mountain to black mountain with the portals but Nex keeps on getting away from Pax who still tries to keep up and manages to get close but Nex goes to the next black mountain and Pax arrives at the black mountain and tries to get to Nex who dives into a hole in the center of the black mountain and Pax looks down and sees that the hole has a black portal and so Pax jumps into the black portal and it transports Pax to an area which is a dark hallway with various machinery and pipes that is letting out steam and so Pax goes through the hallway and then finds a metallic door which opens and it leads Pax to a laboratory with various capsules and a giant black and crimson orb held by metallic skeletal hands.
"Why won't you quit?" A voice asked and Pax turns to see Nex who is behind him. "Has Ky's attitude rubbed off on you?" Nex asked.
"At least Ky still views you as a friend, even if you have gone on the dark path! Even though I oppose those who take the dark path, you're still a friend to me, to Ky, and to Griff!" Pax said.
"You oppose darkness? Talk about a hypocrite. If I'm not mistaken, you were on the dark path too." Nex said.
"You're wrong! I didn't choose the dark path! I was enslaved by Zervik to be his mindless dark puppet!" Pax said.
"What will it take to get you out of my hair? Maybe this might wipe you from existence." Nex said as he unleashes Death's Embrace.
"For our friendship, for Ky's sake, and for the good of worlds, I will knock some sense into that dark mind of yours!" Pax said as he unleashes Way to Peace.
Pax and Nex charge at each other and they start clashing their Keyblades against each other without neither one giving each other an inch until they lock Keyblades and they face each other and the two look at into each other's eyes.
"You reek of darkness!" Pax said.
"You stink of light!" Nex said.
Pax and Nex unlock Keyblades and Pax delivers a diagonal slash with Way to Peace but Nex blocks the slashes and then delivers brutal vertical slashes with Death's Embrace but Pax dodge rolls and then delivers a wide horizontal slash with Way to Peace but Nex sinks into shadows and then rises behind Pax and delivers a brutal horizontal slash with Death's Embrace but Pax blocks and then delivers a kick at Nex's chest and knocks him back into the wall but Nex retaliates with Dark Firaga at Pax who casts a light barrier and the dark fireballs are deflected and then Pax transforms Way to Peace into a staff and then delivers a strike and then pokes at Nex but Nex jumps at Pax's Keyblade staff and then delivers a flip kick and then delivers a brutal Keyblade slash kick at Pax and sends him to one of the capsules but Pax recovers and casts white fires at Nex who blocks with a shadow wall and then transforms the shadow wall into shadow tentacles and lashes at Pax who slashes at the shadow tentacles and then delivers a somersault slash with Way to Peace but Nex blocks with then delivers a double kick at Pax's head and then delivers a double leap kick but Pax recovers and then slashes with Way to Peace and then slide kicks at Nex and then delivers a lower horizontal slash and sends Nex down to the ground but Nex recovers and then delivers a shadow uppercut and sends Pax into the air and then Nex aerial slashes with Death's Embrace and then delivers a slam slash and sends Pax down.
"You think you can defeat me? You think this fight could stop me from getting to my father? Did you even forget what happened before Requiem City was destroyed completely and before you lost your heart?" Nex asked.
"You were lucky. No, you were strong and brutal. I lost because I held back, because I still thought we were friends. Now, I realize that you don't value friendship, despite what Ky views. I may not be able to stop you, but I know a certain friend who can." Pax said.
"Spare me the nonsense! Just hurry up and disappear." Nex said as he unleashes dark lightning bolts at Pax.
Pax dodges the dark lightning bolts and then shoots light shots from Way to Peace but Nex dodges each light shot and then delivers a dark straight kick at Pax and sends him back but Pax transforms Way to Peace into an ax and then delivers a heavy swing at Nex and then slams at Nex and sends Nex to the ground but Nex sinks into shadows again and then unleashes a shadow drill at Pax who jumps from it and then lands on the shadow drill with his feet and then delivers an aerial vertical slash with Way to Peace but Nex sidesteps and then delivers a brutal kick at Pax's back but Pax recovers and then delivers two horizontal slashes with Way to Peace and then delivers a kick and then delivers an upper slash at Nex and then delivers an aerial wide slash with his Keyblade and unleashes a light wave at Nex but Nex slides through the ground and then delivers a punch at Pax's gut and sends him into the air and then delivers a straight punch at Pax's chest and sends him back but Pax recovers and transforms Way to Peace into a boomerang and throws it at Nex who unleashes a stream of shadows at Pax who dodges the shadows and then delivers four slashes with Way to Peace and then delivers a diagonal slash at Nex's chest and then delivers a roundhouse kick at Nex's head and sends him into the other capsule but Nex fires Dark Firagas at Pax who dodges each dark fireball and then unleashes a barrage of slashes with Way to Peace and then unleashes another somersault slash and sends Nex down.
"You're gonna wish you hadn't done that!" Nex said.
"I only wish that hatred hadn't gotten into your heart in the first place." Pax replied.
"You don't even know HOW my hatred was born!" Nex yelled.
"I do. Everyone at Requiem City hated you for whatever reason and viewed you as a monster. That hatred has created your own hatred." Pax said.
"That world deserved to die! Now you'll have that too! If Ky stands in my way, he'll die too!" Nex said.
"Leave Ky out of this! All he did was care about you! He sees you as a brother! You turned your back on him!" Pax said.
"Shut up! I'm already tired of you! Just die!" Nex yelled.
Nex slashes at Pax with Death's Embrace and then delivers a huge punch but Pax retaliates with a spin slash with Way to Peace and then delivers a dash slash but Nex delivers a brutal down slash and then unleashes a shadow fist and punches at Pax who recovers and then unleashes huge light rays from Way to Peace at Nex who blocks the light rays and then casts Dark Thundaga at Pax who casts another light barrier around him to deflect the dark lightning bolts and then covers himself in a light orb and charges at Nex and pushes him back but Nex counters with shadow orbs and clashes at Pax but the two are pushed back but Pax and Nex charge at each other again and they clash with their Keyblades again and then they deliver horizontal slashes with their Keyblades but Nex grabs Pax with a shadow tentacle and then tosses Pax away but Pax recovers himself and then unleashes white fire at Nex burning him but Nex delivers another straight kick at Pax and sends him back and is against the wall and while Pax is on the wall Nex charges at Pax and then delivers brutal punches at Pax's face and until Nex unleashes a shadow punch and causes the wall to break and the two are now fall from the hole of the wall and are falling down but Pax and Nex clash at each other again with their Keyblades but Nex delivers a punch at Pax's face but Pax delivers a kick at Nex's face and they continue to fall and fight until they are transported to the same black mountain and they are on the ground.
"I don't have time to waste on you! My father is waiting for me!" Nex said as he goes for the next black mountain.
"No you don't!" Pax said as he chases after Nex.
The two boys are on the next black mountain and as Nex was about to go Pax charges at Nex and tackles him and they're on the ground in the center but the ground starts to open revealing another hole and the two fall again into the hole and are now in what looks like a dark evil looking yard with dead trees and Nex kicks Pax off him.
"Stop screwing up my happiness! Stop meddling in my crap!" Nex yelled.
"I can't do that! You've been on the evil path for too long! It's time I bring you back to the light side! Even if it means breaking every single bone in your body!" Pax said.
"I'll arrange that for you! Not only will your body be broken, you'll burn in ashes too!" Nex said.
"Pax?!" A voice asked.
Pax turns to see that Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, and Zuko are in the evil looking yard and are running to Pax.
"Noel!" Pax said.
"The trash still lives!" Nex said.
"Pax, please let me help you." Noel said.
"No, Noel. This is my fight. It's him versus me!" Pax said.
"Like I said, I don't have time to waste on you!" Nex said as he uses Death's Embrace to create a dark portal.
"Stop!" Pax yelled as he runs at Nex.
"Back off!" Nex yelled as a dark hole appears under Pax and it starts to drown him.
"Pax!" Noel cried.
"Don't bother, Noel! You have something important to do! Go and finish your mission!" Pax said as he sinks completely into the dark hole.
"See ya, trash." Nex said as he enters the dark portal and it vanishes.
"No!" Noel said.
"Damn that punk! Now what?" Ken asked.
Just then a dead tree starts to animate to life and rises up from the ground and crimson eyes and a crimson mouth appears and it roars.
"Another scary monster." Cream said.
"Don't we have enough of this?" Zuko asked.
"Our only option is to get it out of our way." Noel said.
The evil tree starts slashing at the group with its wooden claws but the group dodge and Noel slashes at the evil tree with Radiant Salvation while Ken unleashes magic music waves and then casts Fire but the evil tree breathes fire at the group to burn them but Zuko bends the fire and throws it at the evil tree while Alibaba uses Amon's fire to burn the evil tree but the evil tree unleashes small wooden daggers and throws them at the group but Grace uses Tackle while Knuckles uses Drill Punch but the evil tree breathes fire again at the group but Morgiana delivers a somersault kick but the evil tree slashes at the group with its wooden claws and then down slashes with its wooden claws but Espio slashes with his shuriken and delivers multi ninja kicks while Aang unleashes rocks and throws them but the evil tree unleashes fire pillars all around it and tries to burn the group but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Carmelita shoots charged electric shots from her shock pistol but the evil pushes the group back and then breathes fire and then shoots wooden daggers at the group but Katara throws water discs while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes but the evil tree unleashes more fire pillars and then slashes with his wooden claws and throws wooden needles at the group but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Thunder but the evil tree breathes fire and then fires wooden daggers but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire while Katara throws ice needles while Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Morgiana uses Battle Cry while Alibaba roundhouse slashes with his knife while Carmelita shoots electric shots while Knuckles double punches while Cream and Cheese together to strike while Espio palm strikes while Grace uses Bite while Banjo has Kazooie triple pecks while Ken shoots magic music notes while Noel uses Blitz and the group destroy the evil tree and it starts to crumble down into wood and is completely destroyed and later on a hole is revealed.
The group go down the hole and the group are now in what a dark tunnel with evil crimson fog spewing around the tunnel and the group go through the tunnel and go to the next tunnel which has various destroyed things and they go through the tunnel and they go for a hole at the end and they are transported to the next tunnel with more destroyed things and later on they reach the end which has another hole and it leads the group to what looks like another dark area which is an underground area with a Black Xeti symbol at a wall and the group explore the underground place but then various Black Xetis appear and attack the group who fight back with their abilities and even though the Black Xetis are putting up a dangerous fight the group are still fighting back and keep attacking the Black Xetis and after a long and brutal fight against the Black Xetis the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Black Xeti symbol disappears and reveals another hole.
"There! C'mon! Let's keep going." Knuckles said.
The group make their way to the hole but then something appears in front of the group and it's Millia.
"You've made it this far, Noel. I'm impressed. Not bad at all." Millia said.
"Millia." Noel said.
"But you're already too late. Rixla is nearing her way to the Door to Darkness, leading to Kingdom Hearts itself. It's my mission to prevent anyone who tries to foil our father's wish." Millia said.
"This isn't right, Millia. Destroying worlds for 'peace', trying to risk everything by gaining knowledge, siding with darkness without knowing the consequences. You've let the darkness itself corrupt you and Rixla. This needs to stop." Noel said.
"This is our fate, Noel. You've already served your purpose. You are no longer needed. If you proceed to try and stop Rixla, then I will kill you. For Rixla and our father's wish, I will exterminate all enemies." Millia said.
"Fine. I see how it must be." Noel said as she takes out Radiant Salvation. "I will do everything in my power to stop you two." Noel said.
"You have prevailed before, sister, but Father's wish makes me strong." Millia said as she takes out her sword and shield.
"And my wish to defend my friends makes me stronger. This is our final fight, Millia." Noel said.
"So be it. Prepare yourself." Millia said.
Millia charges at the group and attacks with her shield but the group dodge and Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation but Millia counters and then slashes with her sword and then delivers an upper slash with her sword but Ken bashes with his guitar while Grace tail whips but Millia backs off and then unleashes crimson phoenix wings and they close at the group but Zuko lashes with his flame whips while Espio throws four shurikens but Millia retaliates with crimson flames from phoenix wings she summons at the try to burn the group but Carmelita pistol whips while Alibaba slashes with his knife but Millia jumps into the air and the dive attacks at the group with her sword and then bashes with her shield but Katara water whips while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs but Millia delivers double kicks and then delivers a lower slash with her sword and then delivers an aerial spin slash but Knuckles uses Uppercut while Morgiana delivers strong spin kicks but Millia vertical slashes with her sword and then delivers a cartwheel kick and then delivers an upper slash with her sword but Cream sends Cheese to attack while Aang delivers air slashes but Millia unleashes more phoenix wings at the group and they try to close on them.
The group dodge the phoenix wings but Millia fires crimson flames at the group and then throws her shield but Banjo has Kazooie charge while Zuko slashes with his broadswords and then delivers lashes with his flame whips but Millia delivers a bash with her shield two times and then delivers a downward slash with her sword at the group but Alibaba counters with his knife and then slashes with it while Knuckles double punches and then headbutts but Millia diagonal slashes with her sword and then delivers a charged flamed diagonal slash with her sword but Grace uses Tackle while Ken throws magic music bombs but Millia unleashes more phoenix wings and they swipe at the group and then Millia multi slashes with her sword but Katara throws water balls while Morgiana delivers strong punches and then delivers a strong spin kick but Millia counters with her roundhouse kicks and then vertical slashes with her sword and then down bashes with her shield but Carmelita spin kicks while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes but Millia unleashes crimson flames at the group and then swipes with phoenix wings but Aang unleashes rocks and throws them while Espio multi ninja kicks and then slashes with his shuriken and then somersault kicks but Millia horizontal slashes with her sword but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Flip Slash knocking Millia back.
Millia unleashes phoenix wings on her and she flies all over the air and slashes at the group with her sword but the group dodge and Ken rides on his guitar like a skateboard and shoots magic music notes at Millia who fires crimson fire shots but Ken unleashes a giant magic music note at Millia but Millia slashes at Ken with her sword and then delivers a huge spin kick but Katara throws water discs while Espio throws four shurikens and then palm strikes but Millia delivers a somersault slash with her sword and then unleashes phoenix wings at the group but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Carmelita shoots charged electric shots but Millia bashes with her shield and then stabs with her sword but Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but Millia diagonal slashes with her sword and then delivers a flip kick but Grace uses Bite while Knuckles uses Drill Punch but Millia unleashes more phoenix wings at the group and then unleashes crimson flames but Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Morgiana uses Battle Cry but Millia down slashes with her sword and then upper bashes with her shield and then down slashes with her sword but Cream and Cheese spin together and strike but Millia unleashes phoenix wings again and flies through the air and slashes at the group with her sword but Noel slashes at Millia with Radiant Salvation and then uses Edge Slash but Millia charges at Noel with her shield and then slashes with her sword but Noel counters and triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then uses Blitz and finishes off Millia who stumbles back and drops her weapons and kneels down.
"Why? Why can't I defeat you?" Millia asked.
"Because I told you; my wish to defend my friends makes me stronger than you. You believe in you will to fulfill your father's wish, but not me. I don't care if this Count Faust is my father. I don't care if you're really my sister. I'm happy with that life I lived before you and Rixla too that from me. I now know what I must do: Bring peace back to the worlds and stop the darkness from destroying everything. I won't back down." Noel said.
"Noel…you impress me. I have underestimated you. Your wish makes you strong. Perhaps your wish is even stronger than Rixla herself. I was blinded by darkness. I thought darkness could redeem sins of the worlds, but I'm wrong. Because of the atrocities, I wish that I was never born." Millia said as she falls.
"She's out. Now, all's left is Rixla." Zuko said.
"Come on. Let's hurry." Ken said.
"Right." Noel said.
The group make their way to the hole and before Noel could follow she takes one more look at Millia and then goes for the hole.
The hole sends the group to a black and crimson ethereal place and they look around and they find what looks like a door.
"A door?" Alibaba asked.
"It might lead to Rixla." Espio said.
"Then, let's find a way to get to that door." Noel said and just then Radiant Salvation appears and then creates a light trail and leads up to the door.
The group walk on the light trail and make their way to the door and stop by it.
"This has to be it. We're almost there." Noel said as she turns to her friends. "This is gonna be our battle against Rixla. I hope you're ready." Noel said.
"Damn right! Let's get out there and kick Rixla's sorry ass!" Ken said.
"Kazooie and I are ready for anything." Banjo said.
"Yep. Let's do this!" Kazooie said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"Evil must die! It will fear my ninja power!" Espio said.
"Cheese and I are ready to save the world!" Cream said.
"Chao! Chao!" Cheese said.
"Let's finish this once and for all!" Knuckles said.
"Time to bring justice!" Carmelita said.
"Morgiana and I will help how we can." Alibaba said.
"Yes. Let's settle it." Morgiana said.
"I'm ready to save and protect everything." Aang said.
"I won't hesitate. Let's end this battle!" Katara said.
"For our world! For true peace, I will destroy all evil!" Zuko said.
"Okay then. Let's go." Noel said but then she stops.
"What's wrong?" Ken asked.
"I'm hearing something." Noel said.
"Behold. This is the final path you will take to save what matters to you. Do not be afraid. You and the other must restore peace to the worlds, and you two must open the door to light." A voice said.
"I don't hear anything." Katara said.
"I thought I did. Never mind that. Let's go." Noel said as she opens the door and everyone is blinded by light as the door opens and the light transports the group.
