Sorry it took so long to get the next chapter up, thing got really busy so I apologize for the delay. Don't forget the story is almost over so check out my new Mario Fic or send me some of your own ideas and I'll do my best.
Just to set things straight I know its Xahnort not Xemnas, just bear with me. Xemnas is a lot easier to type but if I use him in later fics I promise to get it right so enjoy and don't complain.
Disclaimer: Don't own, never have, never will, you get it....just read the fic.
Chapter 16:
Once down the mountain Sora was lead through a narrow path lined with keyblades. Xemnort was surprised when Sora didn't protest nor struggle once. He was behaved and obedient, which made his goal that much easier to obtain. Tonight he would open Kingdom Hearts and gain control of both light and darkness.
Sora was as well surprised at himself for not putting up a fight. Normally he would never just give in, but this was a battle he felt he couldn't win. He looked up to see a moon similar to the one in The World That Never Was, except this moon was different somehow. It was brighter and had a tint of blue surrounding it.
Xemnort noticed the way Sora look at the moon in awe. "Bright isn't it?" he said in a mocking tone. Sora put his head down and turned to face the passing keys. "Do you want to know why it's so bright here?" Xemnort laughed when he noticed Sora's head rise slightly. This had caught Sora's attention; was there a really a reason he hadn't thought of?
"It's because this is the world that Kingdom Hearts chose to hide itself on." Xemnort watch in amusement as Sora's head snapped up toward the sky and fixed his gaze on the moon. "Kingdom Hearts…hiding place?" he questioned. "Yes. You see to keep away from those darkened hearts that wanted to use its power for their own purposes it created its own world to make sure that no one, except for the keyblade master, ever found it."
Sora didn't reply he simply stared in awe at the moon. Xemnort silently lead Sora through the path way and to the centre, where three familiar keys came into view over the horizon. As they approached Sora could have sworn the moon had gotten brighter. He mental shook the thought out of his head and replaced it with his friends faces. 'Forgive me…everyone.' he thought when he realized this could be the end.
-With the Group-
"We have to hurry!" Kairi shouted. Everyone looked back at her in surprise. They were all seated in the cockpit, they were approaching the world Terra and Aqua had mentioned. "What's up?" Riku asked worried. Whatever she felt he seemed to have sensed as well. "It's Sora!" she screamed. "He's in trouble." tears began forming in her eyes.
Aqua turned to face Terra, who was piloting the gummiship; he nodded and looked down at the screen. "We're here." he announced. All at once everyone turned toward the closest window to look down at the planet.
It wasn't mach compared to other worlds they had been to in the past. The first thing any of them noticed was the bluish glow of the moon. 'Just like The World That Never Was' Roxas thought to himself. Riku looked to the ground and noticed the 'X' shape that formed, though he was too far away to see what was lining the path. "Is this what Sora was talking about?" he whispered under his breath so no one heard him. As the got closer to the world the detail of the land became clearer. "Keyblades!?" Everyone, minus Terra, Aqua, and King Mickey, screamed simultaneously.
"No way…are they for real!?" Kairi asked in disbelief. "Yep." Aqua stated smiling. "And to astonish you further they all had wielders at some point." everyone's eyes were ready to pop right out their heads. "Are you serious?" Roxas asked in a low, surprised tone, his face pressed up against the window. "This is the keyblade grave yard." Terra stated.
"Grave…yard…?" Riku repeated. "Yeah. All the keys lining the path belonged to wielders of the past. In the center of the path are the current keys, and when they are either replaced or the barer…dies they join the others on the sidelines." Aqua explained. Roxas noticed the way she stressed the word 'dies' and knew she was remembering Ventus.
"Sora!" everyone looked down to see said boy being lead down the pathway toward the center, where three keys stood. Aqua and Terra sneered, "Xemnas." The very man who killed there best friend was now taking his brother from his own friends. "You're Majesty?" Aqua faced him. He nodded and took the controls from Terra.
Everyone stared at them worried as the two made their way to the door of the gummiship. "We need to jump!" Terra screamed. Without a single thought except Sora on their minds everyone, except Mickey and Namine, followed them to the door. Terra unlatched the lock and the door flew open and they jumped out, summoning their keyblades.
Sora looked up to see the group jumping from the moving gummiship. "W-what are they thinking." he whisper so Xemnas wouldn't hear him. Then he suddenly felt a rough tug on the collar of his shirt. "Them again." Xemnas sneered. "Huh?" Sora looked at him confused. His face showed his growing anger and his eyes glowed in rage.
"This can't be good." Sora whispered and looked back to the group. It was then Sora noticed to new figures falling alongside Kairi, and the others. They landed a few yard in front of him and a now enraged Xemnas. "Let him go!" Kairi screamed at the top of her lungs. Xemnas only smirked, which made the group raise their keyblades to a defensive stance.
"Oh" the man taunted "and why would I do that?" he teased, trying to hide his concern. His grip on Sora shifted from his collar to the back of his neck. This caused the teen to visibly wince. Riku tightened the grip on Way to Dawn and took a hesitant step forward.
"We stopped you last time, we can do it again." Aqua spoke. The group was taken aback when Xemnas broke into a fit of laughter, tightening his hold on Sora's neck, making it harder for the teen to breathe. "In case you have forgotten it wasn't a complete victory." he sneered. "I proved my theory that the heart of the key wielder of light would reveal Kingdom Hearts, and you lost a friend." he laughed softly. "I'd say I was rather successful last time. You suffered the loss last time and I'll make sure you do it again." he pulled Sora back so they were side-by-side and raised his free hand straight out. It began to glow a tainted bluish purple and Sora tensed up. "Stop it!" Terra screamed when he realized what was about to happen. "Come back to the darkness and I might spare you my former apprentice." Xemnas put on a smug grin and looked to Riku. "You're welcome to join him…Riku." Riku gasped. "How did you…" Riku trailed off. "There are always three." he replied.
"Never!" both Terra and Riku shouted together. "Very well." and Xemnas lowered his glowing hand so it was in front of Sora's chest, which also began to glow, only with a purer shade of blue that matched the moon. "Don't!" Aqua cried charging the man. She was knocked to the side by Xemnas's heartless form. It was as tall as he was only it was clearly more muscular than himself. Its face was cover by a mask and it wore clothes similar to Riku's while he was possessed by Ansem. "Not this time." and Xemnas's hand entered Sora's chest, causing the teen to scream in pain. Sora's eyes were shut and he grinded his teeth between blood curdling screams.
"Let him go!" Kairi dropped her key, covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly. Riku and Roxas just stood there stunned and they both felt the anger rising inside their bodies. Sora was the kindest person they knew, and being his nobody Roxas could only imagine the pain Sora was being put through. Terra helped Aqua to her feet and the two could only watch as their best friend's brother had his heart ripped out by the most evil scum in all the worlds.
Tears streamed down Kairi's face when Sora's screams suddenly ceased. She looked up to see a sight that broke her heart in two within her. Sora was hanging limply from Xemnas's arm while in the other hand was a glowing ball of bright blur light. She knew it was his heart, her Sora's heart. "You wanted your friend back didn't you?" he said far too casually. He tossed Sora's lifeless form at Riku, who withdrew his keyblade and caught the form of his best friend. Kairi and Roxas were at either side of Riku as he laid Sora down and put the brunets head on his lap. "Sora…" he whispered. "No he can't be, he just can't be…" Kairi took Sora's hand. She flinched when she felt how cold he was. Roxas was horrified by Sora's pale color.
When Xemnas lifted the heart toward the sky it shot out of his hand and every cloud in the sky disappeared. A large doorway appeared inside the moon and Xemnas manipulated the ground to from a mountain beneath him as he closed in on the door. Only Aqua and Terra paid any mind to him as Aqua sent up a spell to temporarily separate Xemnas from the door. It wouldn't be long for him to break through so they had to work fast.
As for Kairi, Riku and Roxas, when Kingdom Hearts showed up and the heart used, Sora's heart, disappeared they knew…Sora was gone. "No" Kairi cried into Sora's chest. "I won't let him go!" she screamed.
