The World was in terrible danger – it was the in danger when the first TG-War caused many pain and suffering, it was when the second One joined soon after and now it was again. The Omega-Organization; Aramuil finally reached his goal. His grandfather was finally reborn after 10 years of eternal sleep.
"Grandfather", Aramuil said as the Resurrection Ceremony ended, ready to help him out. He wore a dark coat that went down to his black boats and arms. His hands were clothed in purple clothes. His cloak was put together by golden buttons at his upper body and had armor shoulder base plates on. The only colorful part of his cloak were red stripes which were pointed out his coat like horns.
Smiling, Aramuil finally put his hood down, making it impossible for the others to see his face, except for his black hair. Suddenly, the Leader of the Omega-Organization and he began to glow and after a short time, both gasped before they separated again. Everyone noticed that then, Aramuil's hair was built up a lot of different. When they saw it the first time, it was pretty much messy, but not it was clean and wavy.
"Where am I?", 'he' finally asked. Although he sounded weak, his voice still was cold and frightening. "In your Castle, 10 years in the future.", Aramuil replied. "And you shall be my grandson?", he asked on. Aramuil just nodded his head with a sinister smile. Sora who finally found his strength again finally broke out of his prison and ran with a ready Keyblade against 'him'. Although no one could stop him, as he was close enough to him, Sora got hit by a powerful shockwave that was much stronger than Aramuil's one. "You're really more than foolish enough to believe that you could defeat me like that, boy.", he replied and slowly stood up. He was a lot of taller than Aramuil and the others, that's for sure. Finally, he lifted up his face – a terrifying face that even could give nightmares. He was young and pretty, but still – his skin was dark, his dark black hair was messy and floating in the wind. His eyes had a red color but for Sora they appeared more if they're on fire – his original self met four persons who had such similar eyes: Xehanorts-Heartless, Xigbar, Saix and Xemnas. But he had this smile what also made out his terrifying appearance. But still, Sora remembered this face – he had seen it before and not only once, but a couple of times. "Demon!", Sora finally called out and the mysterious him laughed. "Demon - the Hero of Darkness. It's been a long time since I've heard that name last. But it's still good to hear it. That brings back memories.", Demon replied and let an energy ball appear in his hands which he formed into his weapon of choice - a Keyblade from the dark which was decorated with many symbols – the Hearless insignia, the Nobody logo and the X-shaped signs, he already saw a lot of times before. "The let's see of what you're made of.", Demon said and began to attack Sora.
The following battle was pretty short compared to past fights, Sora had with enemies. Although Demon was just awake for five minutes maybe, he still was able to use his old powers without a doubt. And Sora, already more than weakened had no chance to take him out anymore. After some Elemental Spells and strikes from Demon, Sora went down to his knees, sighing for air.
Demon smirked and wanted to take the Final Strike against him as suddenly the top of the dungeons broke apart and a stranger with a big wand fell down. Sora looked up and was shocked to see Master Cockerell standing next to him, healing Fidelious and Xerxis (also broke the spell which was put on him). "Run!", Cockerell called to all of them and the three of them ran as fast as they could. "Don't let them escape!", Aramuil ordered his people while he stayed with Demon who had a surprised face as he studied Master Cockerell closer. "You?", he asked. "Yes, me!", Cockerell replied. "So, my once former loyal 4th in command comes back after he betrayed me?", Demon shouted. "I only followed my conscience. I had a bad feeling after all the crimes I did to the whole world – I couldn't continue like this anymore and so I knew what I had to do to free my heart from my suffering.", Cockerell replied. "Yeah, by betraying me and joining the Blue Team - but you won't survive this, that's for sure.", Demon said drastic and pointed his Keyblade against him. "I may not – but Jenny will destroy you – she's as powerful as you – and you'll be defeated by her. But before that, I'll take sure that I won't leave this world without trying to destroy you myself!", Master Cockerell replied and let a shining blue Keyblade appear. He then combined it with his wand and shot a powerful magical beam against the Hero of Darkness. He also shot a magical beam of pure darkness against Cockerell's and the fight over power began. Cockerell, still weakened from Aramuil's attack back at him, he wasn't able to resist Demon's will for long – and soon after the battle started, it ended – Demon's power destroyed the one of Cockerell and immolated him. Cockerell, breathing slowly now, knew that his end was about to come – but at least he smiled. "I'm finally released… finally I found my inner peace…", Cockerell thought before he closed his eyes forever…
Meanwhile, Sora, Xerxis and Fidelious were running through the corridors of the Castle until they reached the main Gates. There, they tried to open it, but a magical barrier was holding them back. Then, Xerxis tried to open a portal of darkness, but it didn't work, same went for Fidelious Magic. "And what should we do now?", Sora asked strict. "I'm working on it!", Xerxis replied and began to think. Suddenly, he got an idea. "Where are you going?", Sora asked as Xerxis ran off. "Follow me, hurry!", he replied and his allies did as told. After a few minutes of running, they reached Sykes' lab. "From here, there's a small exit on the other side. Let's go!", Xerxis said, but Sora refused. "We can't leave Cockerell back – he needs our help. We can't just leave now!" "Cockerell's a good master, and he wants us to leave this place right now!", Fidelious replied. "No, I'll go and help him!", Sora shouted, but then there suddenly was a crash and he fell down. As he turned around, he saw a man in a brown cloak, having a hair that was set up in different colors and hair styles, an energy ball still was floating on his hand. "Well, this option's already out.", someone said and Sykes appeared a few seconds later. "Cockerell's no more – at least, I can assure you that he's perished." "NO!", Fidelious screamed. "You monster!", Sora said with a mix of anger and sorrow. "It wasn't me – but Demon's doing. I'm very sorry that things had to come this far, but I got my orders. Allow me to introduce my new experiment here – his name's Kressand – a replica made of all the Organization Member's powers. He's in joy to take you out one by another.", Sykes replied and gave the Replica permission to deal with the heroes. Everyone took out their weapons to fight the boss off.
Since the last powerful battles which happened in the Castle of Darkness since the rebels broke into it, everyone was out of power. While Sora was already more than weak due to his fights with Aramuil and Demon, Xerxis' attacks didn't affect Kressand who instead used his attacks against him. Fidelious was the only one of the trio who was able to handle the attacks of the Replica, but in turn for that, the powerful attacks of him were too strong for Fidelious to handle forever. At the end, they all got defeated after a short fight. Kressand just smiled as he prepared his Final Strike, but like Sora underestimated Aramuil and Demon his once servant, he also fell into the trap what should decide his fate. His eyes widened and as he looked down, he saw eight tiny fingers sticking out of his most important body parts. He gulped for one last time before he fell down, fading away in fire, melted water, rose petals, wind, smoke, thorns and bolts. At the place where he was, was now Larxene standing instead, her Kunais ready to battle for a little longer. "Larxene!", Xerxis called out in shock. "Not you, too!", Sykes moaned in shock. "I'm sorry, old pal. But I have no choice – best friend or lover, I can't let you guys hurt him!", Larxene replied and shot a bolt against the scientist who passed out by this. "Let's take a leave finally, before the others come here.", Sora said and the group went to the exit when suddenly big parts of the lab's top broke apart, feel down and separated Larxene from the others. "Larxene!", Xerxis shouted in shock. "Just go on! I'll get out of here otherwise!", she replied and Fidelious and Sora used that as their chance to reach the outside of the Castle. "B-but…", Xerxis replied as he heard voices coming closer. "Trust me, nothing will happen to me – I promise! Now go, please!", Larxene screamed and Xerxis nodded his head before he joined Sora and Fidelious. Quickly, he opened a portal of darkness and the group left the Castle as fast as they could…
*Edit* And with that, myself - Demon the Hero of Darkness is finally revealed to be the mysterious "him" who'll serve as the story's main antagonist from now on.
