Chapter 10: Land of Fallen Dragons

In the middle of a bamboo forest, a portal opened and the last keybladers of light, Terra and Ventus, came flying out and landed on the ground.

"Xion!" Ventus yelled, running to the portal, but it closed before he could enter. Angered, he quickly summoned his keyblade and was about to create another portal, but Terra grabbed his arm from behind, stopping him.

"Terra?! What are you doing? We got to go back!" Ventus yelled in Terra's face.

"We can't Ventus. If we go back, Sora will kill us both and then destroy all of the worlds in the realm of light. We have to keep moving." Terra explained.

"No! We have to go back! We can't abandon Xion!" Ventus said with tears in his eyes.

Terra grabbed Ventus by the shoulders and started to shake him until he calmed down, "Ventus, calm down. Listen to me, we are not abandoning her. We will save her if we come upon or learn anything about her, but right now we need to focus on saving the worlds and everyone Sora has corrupted." Terra said in a calming voice. Ventus took a couple of deep breaths before wiping the tears away, though neither of them noticed a shadow heartless watching from the darkness of the forest. It watched for a few more minutes, before disappearing into the ground.

"Thanks Terra." Ventus said, finally calming down.

"Anytime man. Now, let's find out where we are. There seems to be an encampment in that clearing over there. Let's see if anyone is there." Terra said. Ventus nodded and the two Keybladers headed off towards the camp, hoping to find someone who can help them.

(The Lanes Between)

Out in the middle of the Lanes Between, a giant, swirling, mass of darkness was being formed from the remains of all of the worlds that were destroyed by the heartless. This place is known as The End of the World and is Sora's current headquarters for destroying the worlds and hunting down Terra and Ventus. Right now, Sora was meditating in the Final Rest as he thought of what else he could do for his family. They have everything a family requires: a mom and dad, some children, some servants, a family friend, a couple bodyguards, a castle to live in, awesome powers to use, and an entire army to call upon. What else would they need? However, his thoughts were interrupted when Xion entered into the room.

"My lord forgive me for interrupting you, but one of our Shadow scouts have located Terra and Ventus in the Land of Dragons. I was wondering when you are planning to go after them," Xion said. However, when she took a closer look, she saw that Sora was deep in thought.

"Is something wrong my lord?" Xion asked, sitting next to him.

"No, Xion. It's just that... I have given everything to my family and have made it bigger, but it feels like I can give them more, though I don't know what." He said.

"Don't worry, my lord. When the opportunity presents itself, you'll know what to give them. Besides there is no way you can disappoint them, especially with everything you've done for them."She answered.

Sora looked up at Xion with a look of thankfulness in his eyes. "Thank you Xion. I needed that. And from now on, just call me Sora." He said before getting up and putting his cloak on. While Sora was doing that, Xion noticed that the cloak was no longer the same color as earlier when she first saw him. Instead of being dark grey, it was now light black and it seemed to be getting darker by the minute.

"Sora, why is your cloak changing colors?" She asked, drawing his attention.

"Oh, I forgot to mention. My cloak is not a normal cloak. When I first became the king of Darkness, I was given this cloak by the heartless. They told me that previous kings wore cloaks similar to mine to show the status of the wearer's heart. For example, say that a king of light wore this cloak, then the cloak would be very bright. When I first wore it, it turned into a light grey cloak, due to my heart still having a strong light within it. But when I banished Ventus from my heart, destroyed Roxas, and started destroying worlds, the cloak started turning darker. It also has the ability to deflect and resist all attacks that come from behind me." Sora explained. Xion was amazed by the cloak. It can tell and show the status of the heart and can deflect any attacks from behind. It must be very unique, but very rare.

"That is cool, Sora. So, you weren't the first king of Darkness?" Xion asked curiously.

"No, the first King was an entity of pure darkness that created the Pureblood Heartless and introduced darkness into the worlds. However, for some reason, the King disappeared and vanished without a trace. After that, the Heartless were left leaderless for a while, until Ansem, Seeker of Darkness became the king after creating the Emblem Heartless. However, he abandoned them when he joined Xehanort and became obsessed with driving Riku into the darkness. The Heartless were once again leaderless when they decided to make me their King." Sora stated.

"Wow, that is quite a history for the Heartless. I had no idea that they were treated like that." Xion said sadly.

"And that is why we shall lead them to a time of peace for them. Now let's hunt down those two Keybladers." Sora said before creating a portal of darkness and entering it with Xion behind them.

(Meanwhile)

After visiting the camp, Terra and Ventus were lead to the Emperor's palace by a couple of the guards stationed there. When they arrived, and entered the throne room, they were introduced to the Emperor himself, a woman named Fa Mulan, a heroine who save China from the evil Shan Yu, Mulan's dragon companion, Mushu, who seemed a bit too short for a dragon, and Li Shang, Captain of the Imperial Army. They explained to everyone that they were being chased by a 'madman' and were looking for a safe place to stay for a while. They didn't want to bring up Sora, because they could already guess, that the people here already knew him.

"I see. Well you are welcome to stay for as long as you wish. Fa Mulan, would you so kind to show our guests to the spare rooms upstairs?" The Emperor asked.

"Of course, Your Excellency." Mulan bowed.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Terra bowed along with Ventus.

"However, before you go, would you mind telling us the name to this madman so we can be prepared for when he arrives." The Captain said.

Both boys were scared now. How were they going to get out of this one. They couldn't come up with anything, so they were going to just say it, when everyone heard the door open. Everyone turned to see Xion enter the room. Her clothes were torn up and she had many cuts and bruises on her body and she seemed to be limping.

"XION!" Ventus screamed before running to catch her before she fell to the ground. Everyone ran to check on the girl, but Ventus told them to give her some space.

"Mulan can you take us to those guest rooms now?! Xion needs to rest!" Ventus said. Mulan nodded before picking Xion up and taking her to the room with Ventus and Terra right behind her, leaving only Shang and The Emperor alone in the throne room.

"I hope that girl gets better soon." The Emperor said.

"So do I. But they didn't tell us who the madman is yet." Shang said.

"Do not worry Captain. We will learn in time. Right now, we must focus on that girl's recovery. It is obvious that the two boys care for her like a sister." The Emperor said before walking away. The Captain, who was thinking for a little bit, was interrupted by a guard who told him about something going on in the mountain village.

(Guest Room)

Xion was resting on the bed in the guest room, while Mulan looked over her wounds. Terra and Ventus were behind her, both with concerned looks on their faces, worried that she won't wake up.

"How is she, Mulan?" Ventus asked.

"Well, despite all of the cuts and bruises she has, nothing has been seriously damaged. It seems she was able to get away from the person who did this to her before anything else could've been done." Mulan said.

"Good. Then that means I can heal her easily." Terra said. He then summoned his keyblade and performed a cure spell for Xion. Immediately, the wounds and bruises healed up and her clothes were repaired.

Mushu hopped off of Mulan's shoulder and scurried over to where Terra and Ventus were and inspected Terra's keyblade.

"Well now, glad to see that there are more than one Keybladers around here. You must know our friend Sora, right?" Mushu asked. Terra and Ventus stiffened at the mention of Sora, the once great friend and hero now scared them to death at the mere mention of his name.

"Y-yeah, we know him. He is a g-good guy." Ventus said nervously.

"Yes, he is. He helped us defeat Shan-Yu and protect China from the Heartless. He is just as much a hero as I am." Mulan said.

However, they were brought out of their conversation when a guard burst into the room.

"Forgive me Fa Mulan, but the Captain has requested you come with me immediately. There seems to be something going on in the mountains." The solider said.

"Of course, just give me a second." She responded. The guard nodded his head before walking out of the room. Mulan then turned to Terra and Ventus. "Would you two accompany me? With your keyblades, you can be a very big help.

"Of course, we'll be happy to help." Terra said. But Ventus refused, "Actually, I'm going to stay here and watch Xion. I want to be here for her, when she wakes up." He said. Terra nodded his head in agreement. Terra, Mulan, and Mushu ran out, while Ventus sat back on the chair next to the bed Xion was resting on.

(Mountain Village)

Li Shang was informed by one of his guards that something was happening up in the mountains, so he traveled up to the village to ask one of the people there and they said that multiple avalanches have taken place further up the mountains, though no earthquakes have been detected or felt. So, he sent one of his guards to get Mulan to help him investigate.

"Shang." He heard from behind him. He turned to see Mulan and the boy named Terra running towards him along with the guard he sent.

"Mulan, why did you bring him?" He said, gesturing to Terra.

"He and Ventus have a keyblade, like Sora does. He can be a big help to us." Mulan said.

"What about Ventus?" He asked.

"He elected to stay behind with Xion." Terra said.

"I see... well, as for the situation, the people have said that many avalanches have occurred for a while, but no earthquakes have been felt to cause them, so they must have been caused on purpose. So, we are going to the top to find investigate." Shang said. Mushu, who was sitting on Mulan's shoulder, gained a smile on his face.

"Alright Cap'n. Let's get this show on the road!" He said, jumping up and down. Everyone agreed and started to make their way up the mountain.

(Emperor's Palace)

Ventus was outside collecting some water for Xion to drink when she woke up. He wanted to be there for her, especially after everything she has been through: being forgotten by her friends, losing her friends, and then being beaten by Sora. But now she is safe from everything and now she was able to rest.

When he finished collecting water for Xion and himself, he started heading back, but was shocked to find the Emperor walking up to him, almost making him spill the water.

"Hello, Ventus." The Emperor said.

"Hello, Your Highness." Ventus said, bowing to him.

"Oh, no need for formalities. I just wanted to talk for a little bit. How is your friend?" The Emperor asked.

"She is doing better, sir. Her wounds have healed and now she is just resting. I wanted to get some water for her to drink for when she wakes up." Ventus said.

"That is very kind of you. You seem to really care for her." The Emperor said.

"Of course I care for her. She is my friend and she saved my life from the Heartless. I owe her." Ventus said.

"Well, I won't hold you up anymore. It was nice talking to you, Ventus." The Emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Ventus bowed before walking off. He made his way to Xion's room, but when he opened the door, he saw her sitting on the bed, fully awake.

"Xion! You're awake!" He said. He quickly placed the water down on a counter and hugged her. "I'm so happy to see that you are okay." He said. He felt her hug him back and he also started to feel tears on his shirt.

"I'm g-glad to be back to, Ven." She said very quietly, but Ventus heard her.

"What happened Xion?" Ventus asked, but he felt her shiver when he did.

"S-Sora pulled me back to him and took me to his headquarters. He then started to torture me, asking me about where we were planning to go and what we were planning to do against him, but I didn't tell him anything. After a while he stopped and left to go do something and I took that time to escape. I opened a portal and I ended up in front of the palace. I had no idea you guys were here at all. W-why didn't you come back and save me from him, Ven?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"I-I wanted to, Xion. I really wanted to, but Terra told me that if we did, then we would've been killed and that we would save you later." Ventus stuttered.

"So, Terra told you not to huh? He always cared more about the mission than his friends." Xion said darkly.

"What are you talking about, Xion? Terra always fought for his friends." Ventus said.

"Did he? He always seemed to be fighting to gain control of his darkness and learning how to get stronger. And whenever you or Aqua found him, he would turn away from you and continue down his own path. If he fights for his friends, then why didn't you or he come back to save me? Xion said in her dark tone while breaking the hug between them.

"W-we didn't have- we had to continue to fight for the Realm of Light." Ventus said, completely afraid of Xion.

"But how can you save the Realm of Light all by yourself? Say that I was killed when you could've saved me from Sora, but didn't. Then Terra was killed by some other means and you were by yourself. Would you have saved me if you thought of that?" Xion asked while slowly walking towards him. Ventus was stumbling backwards away from her, but when he was out of the room, he was sent flying down the hall by something and slammed into the wall at the other end. When he looked up, he saw two Assault Rider Heartless standing where he was. Xion slowly walked out in front of the Riders and stood before them. His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets when he saw darkness cover her entire body and then dissipated, revealing her in her armor, though it was now red and black, her keyblade Oathkeeper was now red instead of white, her skin was pale, and her eyes were yellow.

"You could've saved me Ventus, but you decided to run like Terra. You two are nothing but cowards." Xion said. She then charged up a dark blast and shot it at Ventus. He didn't have time to dodge and he was blasted out the wall and buried under the rubble on the ground.

"Now I can destroy this castle." Xion said. She turned towards the Riders and ordered them to destroy the castle. As they walked off, she wondered how Sora was doing with Terra.

(Summit of the Mountain)

Terra, Mulan, Shang, and the rest of the Imperial Army were currently engaged in a battle with an army of Heartless, most of it made up of Assault Riders and Lance Soldiers, but they were being led by Sora, though Mulan and Sheng haven't recognized him due to having his hood up. When they made it to the summit, they were shocked to find a gigantic Heartless army waiting for them at the top. Sora was currently fighting against the three main guards in the Imperial army: Yao, Ling, and Chien Po. He quickly blocked a strike from Yao and spun around to block an attack from behind from Ling, while also kicking Yao to the ground. He blocked a couple more strikes from Ling and then jumped over a downward strike and kicked him in the face, sending Ling flying into the crowd, Sora stood still for a little bit, then jumped over a horizontal swing from Chien Po. He then grabbed onto Chien's shoulders and forced him into the ground, creating a crater underneath him. Yao and Ling came charging at him from both sides, swords raised. Sora quickly ducked down to avoid the attacks and watched the two swords clash. He then sprang up from the ground, breaking the clash and kicking the two soldiers away. In one fluid motion, Sora punched Yao into unconsciousness and sliced Ling's leg, bringing him to the ground, defeating them all.

Seeing that his men were being defeated, Shang charged after the hooded figure with Mulan backing him up. Shang went for a stab, while Mulan charged him with a fire induced surge. The figure blocked the stab and fire surge with a dark shield, which then exploded sending Mulan and Shang flying back. Terra, who was in the middle of fighting the Assault Riders, saw that Mulan and Shang were fighting Sora. Knowing full well what will happen, he tried to make his way through, but was blocked by two Lance Soldiers. Meanwhile, Mulan and Shang were double-teaming the figure, but even that wasn't working. The figure was blocking every strike. He eventually kicked Shang away, disarmed Mulan and grabbed her by her neck, lifting her into the air.

"A shame to see such a warrior like you die, Mulan." The figure said, while raising his keyblade. However, before he could strike, Mushu popped out of Mulan's shirt and shot a ball of fire at the figure's head, stunning him and making him drop Mulan.

"Yeah, that's what you get for beating up my girl! Yeah, that's what you- Sora?!" Mushu said. Mulan looked up to see that it was indeed Sora who was underneath the hood, but his hair was white and his eyes were yellow. Mulan slowly got up and touched Sora's shoulder to make sure that it wasn't an illusion.

"Sora? What happened to you?" Mulan asked.

"I have become the King of Darkness, Mulan. I'm chasing after two Keybladers named Terra and Ventus. One of my own is going after Ventus, so I'm chasing after Terra right now. I just needed to get you guys out of the way." Sora said. However, before he could say any more, Shang came out of nowhere and tried to stab Sora, but he stopped it and broke the sword in half. Sora then wrapped the surviving Army, Mulan, Mushu, and Shang in dark chains.

"Now, bring me Terra." Sora said. Two Assault Riders stepped forward carrying Terra by his arms. They dropped him to the cliff that overlooked the Palace. Sora walked over to him and pushed him to the ground, then grabbed his head and forced him to watch the palace.

"This is on your head, Terra. If you didn't run away from me in the first place. This world would have more time to prepare for me. First, you try to control darkness and now you run away from it." Sora said, he then gestured to the palace, which then blew up in a flash of fireworks and explosives.

"NOOOO!" Terra screamed along with Mulan and Shang. A portal of darkness opened to reveal Xion who was carrying Ventus over her shoulder. She dropped him next to Terra, who was shocked to see the state of his friend. Ventus was covered in smoke and dirt and had many cuts on his clothes and was unconsciousness.

"Did you have fun, Xion?" Sora asked.

"Yes, I did Sora. The Emperor was defeated easily and their explosives were very easy to find." Xion said.

"Xion, what did Sora do to you?!" Terra yelled.

"He showed me the truth about the Realm of Light and the keybladers of light. It needs to be destroyed, so that everything can be returned to once it came." Xion said. Sora ordered a Rider to pin Terra to the ground so he wouldn't run, while he dealt with the prisoners. He turned Chien-Po into a blue and black Large Body, Ling into a yellow and black Lance Soldier, and Yao into a red and black Assault Rider. When he got to Shang, he only responded by spitting in Sora's face, so Sora simply impaled him and took his heart. As for Mushu, he turned him into a Crimson Jazz. But, when he got to Mulan, another idea came to mind. He charged some darkness into his hand and placed it over her heart. Darkness overtook her and when it was done, her clothes were black with red accents, her skin was pale, her eyes were yellow, but her hair remained the same. She bowed before Sora to prove her loyalty.

"Rise Sister." Sora said. Mulan rose from the ground and studied her new features.

"This is very new to me brother." She said.

"I know Mulan, but you will get use to it, I promise." He said. Sora then embraced Mulan in a brotherly hug, with her returning it. He then ordered one of the Riders to escort Mulan back to the castle.

"Now what to do with these two?" Sora said while looking at Ventus and Terra. He then snapped his fingers, with an idea in his head.

"I have a perfect idea. Take them back to my base. I will imprison them when I get back." Sora said. Xion nodded her head before picking up Ventus and dragging Terra into a portal. After that Sora created another vortex in the sky in order to destroy the land. As the mountains and encampment were sucked in, Sora and his army disappeared into separate portals, leaving the land to be completely destroyed.

And that is the end of this chapter. Like I said, college is going start up again for me in a few days, so I will be a lot busier. So, I wanted to get this chapter out and update my other story as well. So, let me know what you guys think and I will see you guys later. Peace.
