Chapter 30

The Death of a Villain

As Link, Lya, Sora, and Midna ride up to the castle, they see that the door is wide open, and that there are no guards.

Midna – Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that there isn't anything here to stop us?

Lya – Midna's right, something's wrong here. Where's the big lock on the door? There's not even a "Keep Out" sign.

Link – So, what, we came all of this way for nothing? We're just going to leave Dakaraso to wreak havoc on the universe?

Lya – No of course not! But still, this doesn't feel right. It feels like we're walking into a trap.

Sora – Maybe we should find another way in…

Link – oh c'mon! You can't be serious! (sees the others' doubtful faces) Fine. I'll go by myself.

Link starts walking towards the castle.

Lya – Wait! Link! don't go by yourself!

Link walks into the castle and closes the door behind him so that the others can't follow.

Inside the castle:

Link walks down the hallways of the castle, without running into any resistance. As he comes to a large doorway, he hears two people arguing. As he gets closer he realizes that one of the voices is Dakaraso, and the other is very familiar, but he's not sure who it is.

Dakaraso – What are you talking about? Of course I'm doing my part!

Voice – That's not what Xemnas thinks. He thinks you should be eliminated. And that's why I'm here.

Dakaraso – You can't be serious. YOU? Number 8 out of 13? Why would Xemnas send you to kill me? (in a panicked voice) Wait, what are you doing? No! Don't! (scream is cut short)

Link – (jumping around the corner in time to see Dakaraso disappear in an inferno of flames; turns to the man on the other side of the room and draws his sword) Who are you?!

Man – The name's Axel. Got it memorized? (disappears into a black portal)

Link – (turns to look at where Dakaraso stood before, then turns and

leaves)

Outside of the Castle:

Lya, Midna, and Sora are pushing at the door, trying to get it to open, when

Link walks out.

Lya – What happened?

Link – Dakaraso's dead. Some guy from Organization XIII killed him.

Sora – (summoning his keyblade) Where is he?!

Link – Relax Sora. He left.

Sora – (calming down) oh. What did he say?

Link – I think that Xemnas didn't think Dakaraso was doing his part in their agreement, so he sent that Axel guy to kill him.

Lya – Well I guess that solved one of our problems. Now we have to take care of this Organization XIII.

Sora – No Lya. You guys should stay here. Let me handle Organization XIII.

Lya – But Sora –

Sora – No Lya, Hyrule needs you and Link, (seeing Midna's irritated expression) and everyone else who's been helping, to stay here and protect the people. This isn't your fight. It's mine. Let me take care of them.

Lya – Alright Sora. You win. But, if anything happens, or if you need some backup, don't hesitate to tell us. You know we'll be there for you when you need us.

Sora – I know. Now I'd better get back to the other worlds, they need me. (turns and runs through a portal that had just opened behind him)

Lya – See ya around, Sora.

And that's the end.

There was originally going to be a follow up story that brought in a bunch of other characters (i.e. the Super Smash Bros. crew, Tomb Raider, more Kingdom Hearts), and my cousin was going to write it with me, but we never actually got around to it. Ah well, such is life.
