Part I. Fire Within Ignited
In the 'vision' I saw (read Chapter 29 to understand), There were Marluxia, Pink Ranger, Larxene, and Yellow Ranger, then Axel and Red Ranger appeared.
"Nice work.", Larxene remarked. "I say good riddance to those blabbermouths."
"Marluxia, Pink Ranger…", Axel said to them. "You used Vexen and Cyan Ranger to test Sora's strength, didn't you?"
"Not just Sora's.",Yellow Ranger told him. "It was yours and Red Ranger's, too. We weren't sure if you actually had it in your bones to take out a fellow member."
She and Larxene then approached Red Ranger and Axel respectively, went to their left, and laid their hand on their shoulder.
"Well, it looks like you did.", Larxene told Axel. "It's time to join up. Taking over the Organization and the other Rangers will be like child's play with the six of us."
"So that's where Sora comes in.", Axel realized out loud. "And I hope you have a plan for the DirLuxGun wielder and the RefLuxGun wielder as well."
"Of course. Sora wants to see Naminé, so why don't we just give him what he wants?"
"Rejoice, Naminé.", Pink Ranger said to her who was in a far-off corner. "The time is near for you to meet the hero that you've been longing for."
"I'm…glad.", she said glumly as Yellow Ranger approached her.
"But I'm warning you.", the Ranger said as she knelt down to Naminé's height. "You'd better not do anything to betray Sora's feelings. Do you understand me, little one?"
"I understand."
"All you need so is layer Sora's memories and bring his heart closer to you.", Marluxia instructed as he and Pink Ranger vanished into a dark portal. After Larxene, Yellow Ranger, and Red Ranger followed suit.
"Sora…", Naminé began to say as Axel, who was left behind, noticed. "Even if you come for me--what then?"
The vision then ended and we were now at the exit hall of the eleventh floor. There, we met again Riku and Windelle, still in Dark Form.
"Riku! Windelle!", Sora called to them.
"You'll hurt Naminé if you go further.", they said to us.
"You guys still want to fight?", I asked them. "But Vexen's gone, and Cyan Ranger's been apprehended, so why still this?"
"It doesn't matter what happens to them.", Windelle interrupted. "We're protecting Naminé from all of you. That's what's in Riku's heart."
"Sora, I made a promise to Naminé.", Riku told him. "I promised to…keep her safe."
"You did?"
"There was a meteor shower…this one night, when she and I were little…". Florina and I looked at one another with suspicious looks.
Riku continued, "Naminé got scared and said, 'What if a shooting star hits the islands?' So I told her: 'If a shooting star comes this way, I will protect you!'"
"You made a promise! With a toy sword!", Sora interrupted.
"What… How do you know about that?", Windelle asked him.
"Because…that was the promise I made to her that night! I would protect her! I said it!"
"Don't lie! You weren't the one there that night!"
"YOU'RE the one who wasn't there! That was when she gave her good luck charm to ME!"
"Her what?"
"WAIT, Sora, Riku!", I told him. "You're both forgetting already! Sora DID make a promise, but NOT to Naminé!"
But they ignored me as Sora pulled out 'Naminé's' good luck charm and showed it to Riku.
"Tell me… Where did you get that?", he said.
Just then, I saw a flash in Riku's forehead for only a second.
Then he said. "Sora…good try."
When Sora got surprised to his response, Riku continued, "That must be a fake. I've got the real one right here!"
He then pulled out a similar charm, held it by the chain (while Sora revealed it on his palm), and dangled it in from of all of us.
"Wha-- TWO of them?!"
"NO! You're both wrong!", I said. "THIS is WHAT the CHARM should LOOK like!" I then pulled out the copy of Kairi's charm (which, thankfully, retained its form), and showed it to them like a badge.
"DON'T YOU DARE MOCK NAMINÉ'S CHARM!", Windelle shouted at me as he shot me in the chest, which sent me to the wall behind me, and the charm flew from my hand and into a corner.
"Fakes should be destroyed!", Windelle said to me as he and Riku got ready for battle and all of us followed suit as the 'battle matrix' initiated.
-To put it simply, it was no different from last time, except the fact that we were stronger now, and this time, we obtained the Mega-Potion, Slow, and Haste cards as well as learning Judgment(Sora) and Spinning Shield(me)-
Part II. Keyblade or DirLuxGun?
After the battle, as Riku and Windelle breathed deeply (and us too), Sora called out to them, but they just ran away, leaving Riku's charm behind. As Sora and the others approached it, I ran towards the charm that I had held before the battle. As I picked it up (and thankfully, it was still intact) and stowed it away, a flash appeared behind me. When I looked, Sora was now holding a world card.
Just then, I then called out to Gregorio and Yoris and showed them the trinket I found. Just then, Yoris' bazooka appeared and the trinket attached itself to it (to be precise, above the last section where the fireball it shoots leaves). Just then, while Sora was about to go up as usual, Donald, Goofy, and Florina were pondering about the recent events.
"Aww…I don't understand what's going on…", Donald said.
"Let's just keep moving, okay? It doesn't matter.", Sora said bluntly without a care.
"It DOES matter.", Florina countered as Yoris, Gregorio, and I returned to them. "How can the two of you have the same memory? You can't both be right."
"I'm wrong? Fine, then don't believe me!"
"That's not what she meant.", Yoris explained. "We're all just kinda worried."
"Then let's ask Naminé! That should clear it up. Look, we don't have the time to sit around. So let's GO."
"Sora, what happened to ya?", Goofy pleaded.
"What's THAT mean?"
"Well, ya always got real touchy when it comes to stuff about Naminé… But before we came to this castle, you didn't even remember what her name was."
"Now Naminé is the only thing you talk about.", Donald said. "It makes no sense."
"Don't you think you should plan ahead about these things?", Gregorio suggested. "Your rage will worsen matters."
"Think ahead?", Sora said, not knowing that I had sneaked to the stairs behind him. "What's the matter with you guys? Do you want me to abandon her?!"
"No that's not it-", Donald started to say.
But Sora wouldn't hear of it and continued, "Then do whatever you want! You can lay back and take a nap for all I care! I'M going to find Naminé!"
As he turned to ascend the stairs, I barred his way and pushed him down.
"YOU TOO, RAEL?!", he said to me.
"Being reckless won't get you anywhere! You should think back! Before you entered the castle, KAIRI is the one most important to you! Now, you DON'T even THINK of her, as IF she never was of ANY VALUE to you!"
"For the last time, WHO the HELL is she anyway?!"
"Like I said, think back!"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!", Sora demanded as he summoned his Keyblade.
"You're gonna fight ME?!"
"If that's what it takes to get to Naminé, I WILL FIGHT YOU!"
"If that's what you want, then FINE!", I told him as I called out my DirLuxGun and shield. Like Sora, I was enraged, but because of Sora's persistence to get to Naminé. The 'battle matrix' then initiated.
-Unlike the duels in Olympus Coliseum and Monstro, there IS a winner and in this one, it is Sora VS Me, one-on-one-
Sora began by doing his 1-2-3 combo, but I simply defended it. He then cast Fire, but I countered likewise. He did the same with Thunder, but I 'card broke' with Blizzard. When he 'card broke' with a Sliding Dash (this is where things get different), I countered with a Boomer Warp and it struck Sora but he went on. Just before he reached me, I was teleported to my shield's current location. Sora then did a Strike Raid, but I countered with a Shield Boomer and the weapons connected. However, neither went through the other since they returned to us after. Sora then ran towards me and was about to perform Blitz, but I shot out a Solar Bouncer to hold him off. As he was attacked the luminous ball of light and destroyed it, I performed Boomer Blast, but Sora countered with Sonic Blade, where while he attacked me again and again, my own shot was hitting me too while chasing Sora. After the sleights were over, he was about to follow up with a Stun Impact, but I jumped away and did a Sky Dropper which stunned him well. After doing a couple more shots on him, He did Judgement and I did Spinning Shield. Both shield and Keyblade struck us real bad before returning. Immediately following was a Homing Fira but I countered with an Ice Missile. I then shot a Fire Missile but Sora responded with a Homing Blizzara and both collided in a medium-sized explosion. After I Cured myself (Sora did the same) because of the previous attacks, and reloading our decks, I then performed Combo Shots at him, but he countered with an Ars Arcanum, striking me at the final blow. He then followed up with ANOTHER Ars Arcanum, and then YET ANOTHER Ars Arcanum, finishing me off, so to speak (but there were no awards or even EXP for that battle).
Part III. Abandoned
As the 'battle matrix' dissipated, I was lying on my back, and Sora was no longer in sight.
"What happened?", I asked.
Florina was first to speak. "Sora just kicked you butt real hard."
"Like Vexen said to him, he has such strength, but unlike what Vexen said, it is only because he is at the mercy of his false memory.", I thought out loud.
"We have to go after him.", Gregorio said to me.
"Yeah. Here take this."
As I got up and gave the Key of Rewards, the Copier machine and the Keyblade Laser to Gregorio, I told him. "Go to the lower floors with Yoris and open the Rooms of Rewards by copying that card, and using the copy to open it. Got it?"
"Got it!", he said as both of them proceeded to descend.
"Florina, come with me! It's time we put some sense into Sora's head!"
"On the double!", she said as ascended to the twelfth floor, leaving Donald and Goofy behind. Just then, I received another 'vision'.
This vision is of Naminé sitting alone in the room where the Rangers and the Organization Members met. Just then, Axel (without Red Ranger) walked in towards her.
"You're all that he's got left.", he said to her. "So then, if you don't stop this, no one will."
Naminé gasped, then said, "But I… It's too late."
"You shouldn't give up just yet."
Then he walked some distance away from Naminé and said, "Say, Naminé. Have you noticed? Neither Marluxia nor Pink Ranger seem to be around."
"What are you…saying?", Naminé asked as she raised her head.
"Just that there's no one here who would want to get in your way."
As Naminé got up from her chair and went for a door, Axel said to her as she ran, "Just make it count."
Once she was gone, he said to himself, "Now THIS should be interesting. Try and make it enjoyable, Sora. It's the least you can do for me, you know."
Then he laughed, but soon stopped, and placed his hand on his chest, then realized, "Hey, wait. I'm enjoying this. You guys ARE something else!"
The vision then ended as we reached the twelfth floor.
A minute before that vision, Sora was running to the door at the entrance hall as Jiminy came out of his back and began to say, "Sora, that was no way to-"
But Sora merely said, "Keep it to yourself!".
Jiminy then surrendered and returned to his hiding place as Sora used the World card and entered. Some time after Sora did that, Florina and I have arrived.
Just then, Jiminy popped out from my bag, saying, "You are Sora's only hope. He wouldn't listen to me at all, telling me to keep my suggestion to myself. I'm afraid I can't be of any more help."
"Okay, Jiminy.", I told him. "We'll handle this." As the cricket returned to my bag, we crossed the door ahead and we were in for a surprise.
Part IV. Destiny Islands
"Destiny Islands?", Florina said.
"No time to space out. Let's split up." And as we did, I found a Key of Beginnings and soon, I was in the 'floor area'.
There I searched the Rooms for Sora, but I could not find any already opened doors. Suddenly, I saw the Door of Beginnings, and when I crossed it, all I saw was a bunch of paopu trees. Seeing no other stuff to do, and also because I noticed that my paopu supply was running low, I shot down every one of the fruits and stowed them (strangely, no bruises appeared, and when I left the room with them, they did not disappear or alter in any way).
Just after I shot down the last one, the ground shook and I ran out the door. Behind me, the door vanished and I had, in my hand, the Key of Guidance. After some more traveling, and obtaining the Taiyou Sleight through level up (presumably, Sora had obtained Ragnarok), I found the Door of Guidance, used the key for it (after matching the 50 value criteria before it of course), then crossed it. There, the weather was like the one back at our departure, where Sora, Florina, and I got our weapons, and I also reunited with Florina.
We then saw Sora, who demanded, "What are you doing here?!"
Just then, Darkside arrived from behind us, and I said, "Now is not the time for arguments. Let's beat this guy first!" The 'battle matrix' then initiated.
Strangely, the battle was quite easy: While Sora cast magic spell after magic spell, I barraged Darkside with shots of light and Missiles, then it was all over. After obtaining its card, the 'battle matrix' dissipated.
Sora was first to speak, snapping me and Florina out of the last battle's resolve. "Okay…I have to keep her safe… Naminé! Can you hear me?"
Just then, since I was back-to-back with Sora, I saw a blonde girl in a white slim dress resembling Florina (though it is the other way around as I have mentioned in Chapter 1 of "Kingdom Hearts Remake 1").
As the three of us approached her, Naminé said, "Sora… You really came for me."
Sora then took and held her right hand, saying, "It's you… It's really you. I've been through so much just to see you."
"Yes. I wanted to see you too. But this isn't right. I messed up. I wanted to see you… But this isn't the right way."
"Naminé?"
"I was lonely for so long. I just couldn't bear it anymore. So I called out to your heart and had you come all the way out to this place. You came for me and I'm so…so happy, but…but to your heart I had to--"
"Don't worry. I'm here because I promised that I would protect you." I palmed on my forehead at that.
"Sora… Thank you. And I'm sorry.", Naminé told him as she released her hand from Sora's. "I'm not supposed to be in this picture."
"That's true.", she then 'said', but from behind us. When we turned around, we saw another Naminé.
"That isn't me. I'm not there."
"I don't really exist inside your heart.", the first one said.
"I don't exist in anyone's heart."
"I never have existed anywhere."
Sora was confused in all this and so was I and Florina.
"What… What are you saying?", Sora demanded from both Naminés. "What's gotten into you? Weren't we inseparable, always together? But then you had to go away… I came here so I'd never lose you again!"
"Was it really me you wanted to see?", ths second Naminé asked.
"Of course it was! I know I've forgotten a lot of things in this castle, but never anything about you! Look!" He then took out the 'Paopu Charm' and dangled it like Riku had from our previous battle with him and Windelle.
"You gave this to me, didn't you?"
"You have it! My good luck charm.", the first Naminé said.
"No, Sora! You can't believe me!", the second one then told him.
As the first Naminé turned back, Sora pondered on what to do.
The second Naminé said, "Think, Sora. Think just one more time."
"About who's most special to you.", the first Naminé finished for her.
"Call out to that piece of memory that glimmers faintly deep inside your heart. No matter how far away the light gets, your heart's voice will always reach it."
While she was saying that, Florina held my hand, placing it on Sora's left shoulder, then placed her other hand on his right then closed her eyes. I then realized that she was thought-speaking to him and relaying her (and my) memories of Kairi, But Sora merely replied, "Who's most special to me? That's an easy one. It's you Nami--"
Just then, the charm reverted to its original form. Then from our left, where the first Naminé was, she transformed to Kairi, then we were suddenly back outside the Room of Guidance.
"Who… Who was that? I can't remember her, but she feels so…familiar.", Sora said to himself, then he called out for Naminé but she was nowhere to be seen.
Sora and I then regained our composure (since Florina returned to being a Friend Card) and proceeded to the exit, which was not far.
