It was late afternoon at the world called Land of Origins as Sora meanwhile found out. All soldiers of every team as the Keyblade Masters were placed in their positions, waiting for something to happen.
Sora stood nervously at a balcony, watching the endless wastelands."This is just more than fitting.", the Leader of the Blue Team said next to Sora. His name was Comx-1. When Sora asked why he was called like that, one of his people gave him the advice not to ask after it. "Why?", Sora asked confused. "Because in this world, the 1st TG-War began ten years ago.", Comx-1 replied while adjusting his weapon. Suddenly, he looked up. Sora followed his view and gasped at what he saw.
Hundreds of Exogans wielding lances and guns marched on the field in front of the big city, ready to battle. Next to them walked a big army of Heartless, mainly made up by black and purple colored Assault Rider, Neoshadows, Armored Knights, Surveillance Robots, Guardians, Destroyers, (Destroyed-; Acr-) Behemots, Zip Slashers, Dual Blades, Heat Sabers, Chill Rippers, Blitz Spears, Stealwart Blades, Orcus and Invisibles. In addition, lots of Dustfliers, Wyverns and other air Heartless float in the air in the allies' direction.
Next to the Heartless wave where lots of Desperates walking with their scary bodies. Some of the them even flew together with the Heartless in the air. Last, but least, there was a group of tanks driving to the Town's main gates.
Next to them were walking soldiers in black armor, wielding machine guns with them. The Final group was different clothed – some of them even didn't have any since they're all undead!
And there, at the front of this enormous army of darkness were walking Crest, Sykes, Aramuil and Demon.
The men at the good side just sighed in shock at this show that was playing in front of them. "This just can be a bad dream!", Sora could hear the Leader of the Yellow Team moaning in shock. "Remember: Stay here and protect the Leaders of the War.", the Master explained to Sora while his apprentices let their weapons appear. Sora nodded his head for a reply.
"Remember: No one hurts Akuma! Kill everyone, but you'll leave the Leaders, Master and Akuma to me!", Demon ordered Aramuil and he gave out the call to attack. After that, things went pretty fast.
The Army of darkness ran against the wall, trying to break it down, while the creatures of air flew down, shot energy balls into the fort, took people and let them fall down to the depts. The allies replied this with a big fire from their canons. The Keyblade wielders turned their weapons into bows and used beams of light as arrows which they shot down at the air or at the soldiers, destroying many of them in the progress. But also the heroes of the TG-War weren't lazy. Most of them ran to the Main Gates and the walls, protecting them from the intruders.
Aramuil who watched with his people the happenings around the City just grunted and then ordered Sykes and Crest to join him in as he charged into the Main City, his weapon ready in his hands. Dancing at the wall, Crest shot his arrows into the air which soon hit many soldiers. Sykes mainly stayed in the background of the battle and used his ice techniques to defeat his enemies.
The Battle went on for hours – the afternoon turned slowly into early night – meanwhile the Town had to take in many damage and burned in fire.
Many soldiers of the good site where already killed by the invasion and for the worst thing, Demon used his dark magic to retrieve them to serve him instead of the good site. Also many of the Keyblade Wielders were defeated meanwhile. Demon knew that his plan was working like he wanted it in the first place – soon, the allies would be the ones to be defeated this time.
As Aramuil finally managed it to get higher – someone blocked his way. It was Fidelious with a ready Keyblade. "Ah, coming back for another worthless try to destroy me, brother?", Aramuil laughed, his scythe glowed in a mysterious light. "Why are you always calling me brother?", Fidelious asked with anger. "You and I were both apprentices to one and the same master, don't you think that makes us brothers?", Aramuil replied in his graceful manner. "I'M A LOT OF DIFFERENT THAN YOU ARE!", Fidelious cried against him. "Of course you are!", Aramuil replied and began to charge Fidelious, their blades met in the air, creating sparkles in the progress. "More than you might think."
Meanwhile, the battle turned worse. Seeing that the fate of the fighters was already decided, Demon finally, too joined the battle. With an enormous fire ball, he destroyed the Main Gate to the town, allowing waves of Heartless to run into it. With a smile, Demon joined his allies and finally reached the yard of the town. As he wanted to go on, suddenly, two persons came across his way, holding him back. It were Comx-1 and Panda Pete – the Leaders of their respective Teams. "Old friends, you try to dispose me? I thought you'd have learned your lesson!", Demon called against the two allies. "Says who?", Comx-1 replied. "IF YOU WISH TO BE WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE – IT SHALL BE GRANTED!", Demon shouted and began his duel against the two.
At the white throne room which got turned into a command central, the monitors of countless computers went hot. Many soldiers called their reports to their leaders as orders were given out. Comx-1 and Panda Pete had left to hold back Demon and also Danjo and Caritas were outside to battle against the enemy.
As things turned worse by the second, more the Master turned nervous. "Sora, go outside and take Caritas and Danjo back in.", he then ordered the young boy and he nodded his head as he ran with a ready Keyblade out. Then, as he was sure that Sora was gone for good, he turned to some older people behind him which were old members of the Circle of Light. "Friends, the time's counting short for us.", the Master began. "It's more than clear now that we won't be able to win against Demon anymore. We've to take preparations that at least everyone who's left fighting here will be taken to a save place so that they can rest and enter the battle once, again. But especially to that – Demon wants Sora – we can't allow that to happen. One of you has to take him to his home world and watch over him, until the right time strikes. Who'll take care of this?" "I'll take care of him.", Master Nicodemus replied. "He'll be able to learn pretty much things from me." "Anyone who's something against it?", the Master asked. No one else said anything. "Fine, then it's settled. Master Yen Sid, Master Daius – take care of the others.", the Master said and both vanished without a word. Worried, the Master turned to the window, leaving back his the other two Masters back as he turned his attention to the battle, again.
...where he saw Aramuil and Fidelious still in fight with each other. "You let Cockerell die!", Fidelious shouted and shot some light balls against him. "YOU DESTROYED YOUR HOME AND BETRAYED ALL YOUR FRIENDS – FOR THAT, YOU'LL PAY!" "Don't make a show out of it!", Aramuil replied with a smile and let some light balls appear which he let explode with his scythe, sending what was left of them together with a shockwave of petal flowers against Fidelious. As Fidelious was about to stand up again, he realized too slow that Aramuil was above him, striking him down with another hit of his weapon. "You see? You cannot defeat me – you couldn't in the past and even now, I'm stronger than you'll ever be." "That may be, but I won't give up!", Fidelious shouted and let his Keyblade appear, but quickly, Aramuil let another shockwave rain down against his rival, making it impossible for him to gather any energy for himself. "Ah, but always playing the hero, aren't we? But I must admit, you got your strong will – doing everything to take revenge at me. But tell me, isn't there something, that Cockerell even hid from you?", Aramuil asked sheepish as he bent over his opposite. "NO!", Fidelious shouted against his enemy. "Oh, I think there is. I'm not the only one who got betrayed by Cockerell, you're his pawn as well – he simple used everyone for his own doings and then, everyone blames me for something that Cockerell originally started. Haven't you always wondered why are looking so similar to Demon in Appearance or why you can't beat me?", Aramuil explained calm. "SHUT UP!", Fidelious replied and tried to free himself, but it was useless. "The simple truth is that you aren't complete – because you're Demon's Heart."
Meanwhile, the battle at the yard was about to come to an end. Although Comx-1 and Panda Pete had done everything in their powers to stop Demon from moving up to the Town's top, they felt that their strength was about to vanish. "Magic Bullets!", Pete shouted and let salves of bullets at Demon fall. "Protect me!", Demon shouted and let a dark shield appear which he released into a shockwave what let the two Leader crash at the Town's walls. "The duel's over, boys – get over with it.", Demon smiled evilly as he continued to walk on to his mission place.
"No…", Fidelious whispered to himself. Aramuil was lying that's what Cockerell always warned him from. But could it be true this time? "You're an Experiment for the Hero of Darkness to get his own artificial heart, however your true persona you once had was already destroyed by him in the past and only small parts of your personality survived this destruction. But your will was still too strong as that Demon could control it. Your heard denied working for him and in turn for that, you absorbed parts of his darkness, turning your simple heart into a whole persona with some of Demon's characteristics and powers – you only exist for him and nothing more. Now then, if you'd excuse me. I've to conquer the rest of the Castle – Sykes and Crest will take you to the main base later.", Aramuil replied and was about to leave plate when he suddenly heard the strike of a sword. Turning around, he saw in shock that Fidelious had killed himself with his own returned Keyblade.
"NO!", Aramuil shouted and let his weapon fall down. "I know what Demon is and what he needs – but you'll have to disappoint him on that, he'll never get my heart, especially now.", Fidelious said and laughed weak as he exploded, leaving a shocked Aramuil back who now had to report this event to Demon.
Sora meanwhile was just returning with Danjo and Caritas as suddenly some bolts crashed down on the white balcony. Looking around for the source of this, they discovered Demon who wasn't far away from them anymore. "Oh, no – he made it up here!", Sora thought in shock and Danjo let his weapon appear without a word. "Bring Sora in – I'll handle this punk myself.", Danjo said calm and although Sora wanted to protest against this, Caritas took him with him and both ran into the command central. Danjo just pointed his Keyblade without a word at Demon who also prepared to duel him.
While Master Yen Sid and Master Daius were preparing the ultimate transportation spell for the remaining fighters and warriors, Caritas quickly explained to his Master what's happening outside. "Nicodemus, the time has come.", the Master said calm. "Take Sora and go – NOW!" "Wait, what's?", Sora began, but Nicodemus already had him in his grab and took him to the other side of the room. Just as the two of them had left for good, the door burst and Demon and a corrupted Danjo entered the room. Everyone tried to take the Hero of Darkness, but all affords were worthless. In just a few seconds, most of them where dead, wounded bad or just defeated. Only the Master and Caritas were still ready for more. "The playing times are over! Better tell me where Akuma is and I'll let you all alive!", Demon called into the round. "You liar! You don't keep your word either!", Caritas replied with a pointed Keyblade. "Right!", Demon said and with a fast manner had Caritas at his gorge. The Master used that moment to shot a beam of light at Danjo who didn't expect this and got consumed by the light, allowing him to free himself from Demon's influence. Without hesitate, he shot another beam from behind at Demon who let go of Caritas and beheaded Danjo before shooting a sharp dark arrow what hit the Master in his heart, letting him fall down in the progress. Just in that moment, the other Masters were finished with the Spell and every single TG-War Warrior and Keyblade Wielder with their master, themselves included vanished in a glowing light. In Rage, he tried to reach Caritas who fled from the battle field before the Hero of Darkness could roast him.
Sora and Nicodemus meanwhile where at another balcony at the other side of the big castle. Without wasting time, the Master let a shiny dark Keyblade appear and opened a dark portal what lead to his home world. But before he could push Sora into it, there was a big explosion what caused both of them to fall down.
Demon had finally reached them. "Go into the portal while I'll hold him back!", Nicodemus ordered Sora who finally wanted answers. "No! I want to fight!", he replied and let his Keyblade appear. "Don't be childish now, just…. Aaaaahhhh!", the Keyblade Master screamed as Demon's weapon glide deep into Nicodemus' stomach. Without a doubt, Nicodemus quickly reloaded his Keyblade with power for one last time as the Hero of Darkness let him down, turning his attention to Sora. "Now, finally it's only the two of us, Akuma.", he said as he walked closer to the boy. "Excuse me?", Sora asked confused. Although he heard this name for the first time, he felt familiar with that one. Before one of them could do something, suddenly Nicodemus shot a beam of light against Sora, forcing him into the portal, before the Keyblade lost its power once again. "NOOOOOOOO!", Demon shouted as the portal closed and Sora without reach for him anymore. In his anger, he turned to the Keyblade Master and cut his body into two parts. Although it was painful for him, Nicodemus knew that his energy wouldn't be big enough anymore to send Sora into his world, but he knew that it was left enough to send him to a whole different one where he'd be safe after all and without the fear that Demon could ever get him there. With that, the master peacefully closed his eyes as he died a silent death.
Sora meanwhile felt like as he would fly in another portal of light like he did before when he traveled between the worlds. But this time, something was different. As he was floating in the air, the beam of light he got from Nicodemus still was in his heart and began to glow. Sora only took his eyes together as pain went through his body. He didn't knew what reason it was, either the beam or the fight itself or maybe about the portal itself.
As Sora finally felt that the pain left his body, again, he opened his eyes. As he looked to his site, he barely could see in what appeared to be mirroring like that he surely wasn't in his body anymore.
Looking back at him was a girl with brownish hair that went down to her shoulders. The girl's face was soft, the lips were fuller and the nose small and perky and he noticed that also that the rest of his or rather her body had turned into that of a girl with all genitals and "extras" – also Sora noticed that his clothes had changed, too. He was more or less wearing a dress similar to Kairi's, but this one was blue and he also wore jeans instead of nothing and bluish shoes with white stripes in it. Also his crown necklace had changed into that of a heart. At least, Sora noticed that he still kept his emerald blue eyes. Sora? No, it wasn't Sora anymore. The girl knew since her first encounter with Cockerell that she wasn't the true Sora – the real one still was in the dungeons of the Castle without any way out – The Leader, Aramuil had forced her into the boy's body – and since that, Namine or Dilan rather was able to put her memories back together – her true name was Jenny. And she was more than happy on the one side that she finally got transformed back.
But before she could take a single thought, suddenly the portal came to an end and she crashed at some grassland, hitting her head on a sharp stone. With a gasp, Jenny only was able to see that she was at grassland and that it was night around her. Suddenly, her head felt pretty much empty – and with that strange feeling that she just forgot something important, she passed out….
