A/N: HEY THERE! HI THERE! HO THERE! YOU'RE AS WELCOME AS CAN BE!
HELLO THERE! THIS IS IT! THE SECRET ENDING HAS ARRIVED!
YES! WE DID IT! THIS IS THE ENDING - OFFICIALLY THE ENDING! HIP-HIP-HORRAY! HUZZAH! HALLELUJAH! YES!
COME ALONG, SING A SONG, AND JOIN THE JAMBOREE! D-I-S-N-E-Y T-O-W-N! DISNEY TOWN!
...Okay, I think that's enough. After all, I feel sort of... Sad.
It's no wonder why I feel this way. After all, this IS the last Chapter of "Kingdom Hearts - World Unto Dreams". I spent nearly TWO YEARS planning and writing this story - starting when information about "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance" was first revealed in Early 2012. Now, it has reached the end.
Fortunately, I do have a SEQUEL going through the "Preparation Stage(s)"! It might some time before I post it, though.
I shall say this one last time...
REMEMBER, THERE SHALL BE A SEQUEL! This Is The Result Of All 134 Reviews Posted On THIS Story!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THOSE REVIEWS! THEY HAVE REALLY ENCOURAGED ME TO KEEP GOING WITH THIS STORY!
As before, I'm sure you may have noticed how rapidly I wrote this Secret Ending. I knew at least two-to-three of the segments for this particular section in advance. However, once I had written those segments, this Chapter was Only a little less than 2,000 words! I have a standard for posting Chapters - NO LESS THAN 3,000 WORDS! Besides, who wants to read a Chapter that's only 2,000 words long? Talk about Dull And Boring!
To fix this issue, I added additional segments. You can see them below.
This Would Not Have Been Completed Without Readers And Reviewers Like You. So, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THOSE REVIEWS!
Also, I have a Task for all of you who are reading this now: Please Tell Me What Your FAVORITE Part(s) of This Story Were! I'd REALLY Like To Know How It Turned Out! Any feedback you can give will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
By the way, has anyone figured out who those villains were at the end of Chapter 50? At least TWO people have tried to figure them out. I'll simply let you know that they are ALL Disney Characters. You SHOULD be able to locate them all on Disney Wikia.
In case you can't figure them ALL out, you can wait until the next story - I WILL be revealing them then! After all, Many of them will play roles in the Sequel. It might be a little while - I Still need to finish planning out the worlds' scenarios as they'll most-likely be what carries the next story through.
In case you didn't know, Sora's sister (Amemi/"Amy") happens to be one of my Original Characters - she doesn't appear in the game. Same for Shelly, Sora's Mom, and many of the Other Characters I already pointed out earlier in This Story.
...I might just have to suggest having Tetsuya Nomura use my idea and give Sora a family (including a sister) in "Kingdom Hearts 3".
Just for the record, I included a brief "Teaser-Trailer" for the next story at the End. THAT Story Shall be the SEQUEL to This Story!
So, That's ALL I Have To Say Today! IT'S TIME FOR THE LAST PART OF THE FINALE FOR "KINGDOM HEARTS - WORLD UNTO DREAMS"! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR ANY AND ALL SURPRISES - THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY! PLEASE READ TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!
PLUS, PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW - TOO!
SECRET ENDING
The Mystery To Come…
In one corner of the universe was a world. Not just any world, but one so distinct, it stood out like a sour plumb amongst the others. It was unique in various ways… one being its location between both Light and Darkness.
At the center of the world was a town. Not just any town, but a town in the midst of a forest. From a distance, it would appear to be a quaint, little place. In truth, there was something peculiar about it….
The architecture matched the designs of each and every other such location around it. It was small, but held a decent-sized population. Large forests surrounded it on three sides while the fourth was open to a small harbor. The layout was very similar to one of the various towns and villages situated along the coastline of the state of Maine.
One long, paved road led directly through the town. On either side was a building that happened to be home to either a business, shut-down facility, or apartments with one to ten occupants. A couple traffic lights were positioned at regular intervals throughout the town and an occasional car or two could be seen parked at different times of the day.
At one corner was a large building that had been boarded up for ages. The roof of this structure was peaked and a large clock-tower was visible on its roof. The clock's hands were positioned at about 8:14 P.M. — the time the clock had seemingly stopped on.
Across the street and on the opposite corner from the boarded building was a three-story hotel with a greenish exterior. In one of the rooms on the top floor was a room with a single bed, a desk, and a nightstand along with a floor-lamp. Seated at the desk was a young man writing something on a sheet of paper.
He seemed to be at least eighteen-years-old with dark-black hair, and eyes that were changing color at a steady rate. He was wearing a green sweatshirt-jacket with long sleeves, blue pants, brown hiking boots, and a pair of bright green-colored goggles typically worn by scientists in a laboratory. Around the man's upper body was a small, blue bag that seemed to be the perfect size for a camera. He also had a green baseball-cap with a brim over his eyes. On the desk to his left was a pair of dark-violet rubber gloves. To his right sat a few ink-pens with a tiny container of white-out. Also set on the desk was a small, curved lamp with a yellow-green color to it.
As he finished writing his letter, the man gave a smile of relief. He held up the sheet of paper and took a few minutes to read it over. As he finished, the paper gave a bright glow. He stared in alarm. A flash of what seemed to be lightning occurred outside.
"Magic," he marveled. "Could this be magic?!"
The wind picked up outside and he caught a mere glimpse of something outside. Gazing out the window, he gasped. Crossing the street outside was a man with long, brown hair with grey streaks and brown eyes. He was donning a nice, black suit complete with a dark-purple tie and black shoes. In his right hand was a black cane with a gold handle and a black umbrella was in his left hand. His teeth were crooked and he seemed to be looking every which way as though searching for something or other.
The young man upstairs gasped. "Oh no!"
As the man neared the hotel, he nearly ran into a young woman. The young man watching from above knew who she was, thanks to her red scarf-like hat in her brown hair. It was the waitress from the local diner. He recalled how she'd once gotten into a heated argument with the owner, an older woman. The result was the waitress storming out; she had shouted so loudly that everyone could hear her announce her immediate resignation.
The next day, however, she was back. When he'd asked why she returned, the waitress told him, "I do that a lot."
He relaxed a little. "Thank you… "
He knew all too well he couldn't allow the glowing sheet of paper to fall into the hands of the man with the cane. He also couldn't show it to anybody else in town; they would quickly get suspicious. Even worse, he could not do anything to hide this magical letter.
There was only one thing he could do.
As what sounded like the pitter-patter of raindrops on the room's three windows filled his ears, the young man glanced over the letter one last time. Without a word, he clenched the sides of it and pulled as hard as he could. The paper tore in half. He lined them back up and tore the halves again. He did this repeatedly until there were twelve, uneven scraps of paper. The glow was gone; he smiled a little.
Strolling up to the closest window, he gently pushed it open. Although it was only starting to rain, a strong wind was rushing on by. In one giant thrust, all the torn pieces of paper flew out the window. They were immediately scooped up and carried off by the wind. Amazingly, none of them got hit by a single raindrop as they blew away into the distance.
With a deep sigh of relief, the young man relaxed. All the pieces of paper had been successfully scattered to the winds.
All he could say was, "All magic comes with a price… "
On a distant shoreline was a young man with silver hair that was spiked. He was staring out at the sun; the star was setting faster and faster. He smiled and what seemed to be a look of curiosity filled his golden eyes. He said to no one in particular, "This world… is just too small."
"Yes, it is," a deep voice said to his left.
The young man shifted his gaze. To his amazement, he was face-to-face with a figure completed covered from head-to-toe in a brown robe. "Who are you?" he inquired.
"I am you," the figure replied. "Or, I am what would eventually be you."
The young man raised an eyebrow. What was this guy saying? Who was he? "What are you doing on my island?" he demanded to know.
"I came to see you," the figure answered. "And to seek the door to this world. This world has been connected. Tied to the Darkness. Soon to be completely eclipsed."
The young man gave what you would most-likely call a sinister smile. Silence followed. The two continued to look at one another for quite some time….
It was early in the evening on the Destiny Islands. On the far horizon, the sun was starting to rise. Dawn was coming. Yet, the sky was nearly empty except for a few seagulls here and there. The only sounds were that of the waves lapping against the sand and the extensive docks full of boats.
Close to one of these docks was a small knoll of packed sand. It was so compact, no one could sink their feet straight through it. Standing at the top of this dune was a woman sporting long, sandy hair tied into a ponytail by a slightly-faded green ribbon. Her outfit consisted of a red shirt with white spots, a medium-length blue skirt, pink tennis shoes, and a rainbow-colored apron over her entire front side.
With a deep sigh, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small, empty bottle of what used to be medicine; it was sealed with a miniature cork. Inside was a furled piece of paper — the letter she had written two nights ago.
She gazed out at the water and softly said, "Wherever you are, I hope you're okay."
She gently tossed the bottle into the air. It landed into the water and started to drift away. As the bottle floated towards the horizon, the woman looked into the sky far above. She called out, "I'll be your candle on the water… "
She stopped speaking, spotting a tiny piece of paper drifting in the wind. Reaching out, she caught the shard of torn paper rather quickly. She immediately read what was written on it.
I met a teacher, one who often smiles,
And wonder why she looks as white as snow.
She is rather nice and is always within a few miles,
Although the reason is something I do not know.
A local restaurant is pretty and clean,
And the owner is both considerate and kind.
After reading it, she looked up with a look of perplexity. Whatever this letter meant, she wanted to know more.
A few days had flown by since Sora and Riku had taken their Mark of Mastery Exams. Sora was now back in school on the Destiny Islands, and Riku was busy with his online classes over at Disney Castle. King Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Launchpad McQuack had all returned to their world with Riku while Niccole and Lea had headed for the Radiant Garden to consider a possible plan-of-action. Violet had gone home with Sora for the next few months.
Alone at the Mysterious Tower, Master Yen Sid was strolling into a secret room situated near the middle of the tower's magical interior. This room was shaped like a square with golden walls. An emblem was on the floor; it strongly-resembled the logo of Organization XIII, only upside-down. A series of pictures were hung on the far wall with what appeared to be a shelf set beneath each image.
Yen Sid approached the first image. In it was the portrait of a young woman with magenta-colored hair, eyes, and wearing a magenta-colored dress. Her glow was also magenta-tinted and she possessed the same style of antennae as Violet — only with a green color for its ball-shaped tips. On the shelf was a spear-like weapon with a red rod, pink guard, and magenta-colored point.
Yen Sid gave a nod at it. "Magenta… "
The sorcerer approached the next image. In this one was the portrait of another young woman with sea-green eyes and violet-colored hair that stretched just below her shoulders with a slight curved piece covering part of the right side of her forehead. She was smiling and had a red head-band in her hair. She was also wearing a long-sleeved, forest-green dress. Set on the shelf was a miniature version of a Keyblade; it had a hexagon-shaped, sky-blue handle with two triangular spokes at the end of the golden-yellow blade.
Yen Sid closed his eyes solemnly. "Crystal… "
The next image was of an older man with slightly-wrinkled skin and black hair. His hair was tied into a spikey ponytail in the back and a strand hung off the front of his face. He also had jagged scars over his right eye and left cheek. To top it off, he also had a mustache with a small, pointed beard. A sign was located directly below him.
"Master Eraqus"
As he neared this picture, Yen Sid noticed an unknown object on the shelf; it was a small piece of torn paper. Scooping it up, the sorcerer took a minute to read what was written on it. To his surprise, it was the upper part of what seemed to be a letter. In fact, all he could tell was it was referring to… something.
I am not where I used to stay.
Yet, I am not where I need to be.
My current location is secret, by the way,
In a place where no one can find me.
I can sense trouble is on the way,
Even in this world's spooky streets.
I should be safe, that much I can certainly say,
For here, the Light and Darkness peacefully meets.
This land is one I'd only heard about,
One that probably shouldn't exist today.
Their memories are gone and no one stays out,
Even time itself seems to have stopped, no delay.
After reading, Yes Sid had only one thought going through his mind. He immediately returned to his study and gazed out the crescent moon-shaped window. He could see countless stars shining in the distance. "It's true," he said to no one in particular. "Time is running out. I must locate the rest of this letter."
Waving his arms in the air, Yen Sid summoned what appeared to be a large portrait of Mickey Mouse. The mouse looked up in it in surprise. "Master Yen Sid?" he asked.
"Mickey," Yen Sid spoke. "I need you and Riku here at once. There's been a change amongst the stars, and we need to discuss a new strategy."
The noises of construction had been continuous for several hours. Now, at long last, they were finally coming to a stop. Silence rapidly took over as the sun went down. Throughout the streets of the town, the tranquility was nearly complete.
Strolling through the town's marketplace was a young woman wearing a long, pink dress, a red jacket over her upper body, and brown, hiking boots. She was slender with green eyes and had brown hair with a long ponytail tied in the back by a pink ribbon as well as a pair of bangs hanging over her face — one on each side. In her right hand was a small basket of flowers in various colors.
Accompanying her was another young woman, although this one was much younger. She was slender, had long, yellow hair with a blue bow on the right side, and sea-green eyes. Her outfit consisted of a long-sleeve red dress decorated all over with yellow flowers, green boots secured by violet-colored straps, and a pinkish-red scarf around her neck. She also had a flower-shaped necklace around her neck, and a rosy-red emblem on her scarf. In her hands was a small basket with a few flowers and a notebook.
As the two strode through the area of shops, something in the sky above caught their eye. A small, shooting star was descending rapidly. Its source unknown, they both paused long enough to watch it land somewhere beyond the horizon. They glanced at one another. With a shrug each, they continued on their way.
Still, there was something peculiar about that star….
As they strolled along, a piece of paper flew through the air above. They both reached for it and grabbed it simultaneously. Together, they read what was written on it.
I nearly ran into a nun last night,
She seemed very nervous and rather clumsy and she slammed into me.
When I helped her pick up the bag of supplies she'd dropped, I saw a bright Light,
I wonder... is she trying to be someone she wasn't meant to be?
I encountered two kids earlier, one girl and one boy,
I could sense they were brother and sister, even as they continued to roam.
They looked lost, worried, and with no hope to deploy,
Should I have helped them find their way home?
Two others stick out,
They both have important roles, I should state.
The two girls glanced at each other with puzzled looks. They had both taken into account how the paper was torn on both ends, which meant there was probably more writing than they could see. They both stared into the sky far above. All that could be seen were white, puffy clouds with a hint of reddish color due to the setting sun alongside the fountains of water spraying from the towers of the town's stone wall.
The interior of the castle was white. White… and light-grey. In fact, the entire area seemed enormous, even if it was full of dozens of twists and turns every-which-way.
Marching down one of the shadow-filled staircases were a trio of individuals with a flying vulture. One had green skin, a pointed chin, and a black wig while the other two were robotic. The one with the wig was getting flustered.
It was Hacker, Buzz, and Delete. The trio were still wandering about The Castle That Never Was.
"What do you mean we're lost?!" Hacker demanded.
"I thought the exit was down that last hallway," Delete said. "They all look the same."
"Yeah," Buzz agreed. "Have we gone this way already?"
Hacker had completely run out of patience. He started to chase Buzz and Delete, yelling as loudly as he could the whole way. The latter pair fled down the corridor in a hurry. As the group rushed down the stairs, a piece of torn paper drifted into view. They halted in their tracks. Hacker snatched the paper from the air and read what was written on it out loud.
Almost like he's very lonely.
The town has a sheriff, of course it would have to,
But this one is a bit strange.
When I talk with him, he seems to lack something — unlike me and you,
Sometimes I wonder what's out on his range.
"Yes," Hacker remarked afterwards. He could sense something very intriguing about the torn piece of paper.
"What is it, boss?" both Buzz and Delete said in unison.
Hacker looked at his henchmen with an evil grin. "I believe we have found the answer to all our problems. I can defeat Motherboard, those Earth-brats, and all their pathetic 'friends' in one fell swoop!"
The vulture landed onto the villain's shoulder with a sinister smile. This made Buzz and Delete start to shake anxiously.
"No matter how deep the Darkness, a Light shines within. I guess it's more than just a fairy tale."

"Don't worry! There will always be a Door To The Light."
— King Mickey Mouse, Kingdom Hearts 1
"You and I have seen it! The far-welcoming Light inside the Door To Darkness — Kingdom Hearts — it'll show you the way. Please don't give up. Believe in the Light."

"We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."

"No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us back together again."
