Chapter 14: One Last Spark of Light

(In the End of the World)

Sora, Kairi, Scarlett, and Ava have returned from their mission on destroying Olympus Coliseum to the End of the World to meet their new family member, Ventus. As soon as they took a single step, Sora was tackled to the ground by Ventus and hugged.

"Hi, Daddy!" Ventus said.

"Hey Ven. Are you okay?" Sora asked while hugging him back.

"Yeah, Daddy. Like I said, I was able to fight him off," Ventus said. Sora picked himself up while still holding Ventus closer to his chest.

"Well, a father can worry for his son, right?" Sora joked. Ventus laughed to the joke in response with Sora laughing as well. Eventually, Kairi, Scarlett, and Ava went up to Sora to meet Ventus, who was still being held by Sora.

"Ventus, why don't you get acquainted with the rest of your family, while I go check on the badman?" Sora suggested. Ventus nodded and Sora set him down. Sora walked over to Yuffie and asked her where Terra was being held and she led him through the many rooms until they stopped at a particular room.

"He's been very quiet so far," Yuffie said.

"Thank you, Yuffie. I'll take it from here," Sora said. Yuffie bowed her head and walked away. Sora opened the door to see Terra strapped to a table by dark chains, some of his clothes had holes in them, and he was silently crying to himself. Seeing this put a smile on Sora's face as he walked in front of Terra.

"Oh, don't cry yet, Terra. There is plenty more to experience," Sora said. Terra sprung his head up to reveal tear-stricken eyes and his face instantly turned from sadness to anger. He tried to lash out at Sora, but the chains stopped him.

"You're going to pay, Sora! For all of the pain and suffering you brought on everyone! I'm going to make you pay!" Terra yelled in Sora's face, though Sora wasn't affected by it. He simply stared at Terra with anger.

"And you call me a monster," Sora said, which snapped Terra out of his anger.

"What do you mean?" Terra asked.

"Yes, I have brought pain and destruction onto the realm of light, but it has all been for the betterment of my realm and my family. You cannot deny that you do whatever is necessary for your friends and the realm of light. There is no good and evil, we all do what we think is right and what I'm doing is for my family," Sora said. Terra lowered his head in thought at the remark.

"Like I said, don't waste all of your tears yet. There is a lot more for you to go through," Sora said before walking out of the room, leaving Terra alone with his thoughts.

(Back in the Family Room)

Sora walked into the main room to see Ventus, Scarlett, and Ava running away from Kairi. From what he could guess, Kairi was acting like a monster and chasing the kids around the room, but the kids knew she was pretending and started to play along. It didn't take along until the kids hid behind Sora.

"Please daddy, protect us from the monster," Scarlett said, while hiding behind Sora with Ventus and Ava.

"Whatever you say kids," Sora said, before grabbing Kairi in a hug and spun her around. Kairi yelped in surprise before laughing with Sora. The kids also came out from their hiding place and tackled their parents to the ground in a big family hug.

"I am so happy to have you all as a part of my family. I couldn't ask for anything else," Sora said, while hugging his wife and kids again.

"Well, if it wasn't for you, daddy, we wouldn't be here. So, we have you to thank as well," Ava said. After hugging each other for a few minutes on the floor, Sora stood up.

"Alright, I think it is time for bed," Sora said, but was met with three groans.

"But daddy, I'm not (Yawn) tired," Ventus said while stretching his arms.

"You say that while you yawn. Yeah, I think it is time for bed for all of us," Sora said while picking up Ventus, who was almost asleep already. He then held out his hand to Ava, who took it and started walking to the bedrooms, while Kairi picked up Scarlett and carried her as well. Sora walked into Ventus's new bedroom and placed him on the bed and covered him in blankets. He was about to walk out with Ava when he heard Ventus say something.

"Did you say something Ventus?" Sora said while turning to face him.

"Yeah, I asked if I will be able to fight soon like you and mommy?" Ventus said. Sora smiled before telling Ava to stay at the door before walking up to the bed and sitting on the side.

"Don't worry, Ventus. The fact that you were able to use your keyblade against the badman is proof that you will be as strong as I am. And don't worry, I'll train you to become stronger. Soon you won't have to be afraid of anyone," Sora said. Ventus smiled at the remark.

"Really, thanks daddy!" Ventus said while hugging Sora. Sora simply hugged back.

"Of course. Now it's time for bed, Ven," Sora said while covering Ventus in blankets again. Before leaving, he kissed Ventus on the forehead before leaving.

"Good night, daddy," Ventus said before going to sleep.

"Good night, Ventus," Sora said before closing the door. He then picked up Ava and walked towards her room. He opened the door and placed her on her bed and sat down in order to tuck her in.

"Daddy?" Ava said. Sora stopped in order to listen.

"What is it, Ava?" Sora asked.

"I was wondering. You, Mom, Scarlett, and Ven all have keyblades and I'm the only one who doesn't. Do you think I will get my keyblade one day?" Ava asked worriedly. Sora thought about it for a little bit.

"Well, you have a strong heart, like the rest of us, Ava. But we all gained our keyblades during times of danger and so far, you haven't been in any sort of situation. But I believe that situation will come in time, but you must be patient. I know it's not the news you wanna hear, but it's the truth. For now, we can train you in basic swordplay, advanced magic, and strategies, okay?" Sora explained. Ava nodded her head in understanding.

"Okay, daddy. I understand," Ava said.

"Like I said, it's not the best news, but it's how we all gained our keyblades. Now goodnight, Ava," Sora said before kissing her on the forehead and headed out.

"Goodnight, daddy," Ava said before going to sleep. Sora closed the door and headed his and Kairi's bedroom. He opened it to see Kairi already relaxing on her side of the bed. Sora joined her on his side as well.

"Did they give you any trouble?" Kairi asked.

"Not really. Ventus asked if one day if he will be able to fight like us and Ava asked if she will one day be able to wield a keyblade like us. What about Scarlett?" Sora asked.

"Oh, she was just excited for the next world we would be destroying and couldn't wait for it," Kairi said.

"Figures, she's always ready to fight something," Sora remarked. Kairi moved to lay side to side with Sora and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Sora, thank you. For everything you have given me," Kairi said. Sora simply kissed her in response.

"Your welcome, my queen," Sora said, before getting ready to sleep along with Kairi.

(In Terra's room)

Terra was resting against the table he was chained to, thinking over his recent failures and how he and the realm of light are not so different from the realm of darkness. As much as he hated to admit it, Sora had a point: there was no good or bad, but that everyone in the universe does what they believe is right for everyone.

"Terra," he heard a faint voice say, but he didn't bother to look up.

"Terra," he heard the voice say again, only louder, but he still didn't look up.

"Terra!" The voice yelled. Terra sprung his head up and looked in amazement. Standing before him was an astral projection of his master, Eraqus.

"Master...Eraqus?" Terra said in surprise.

"Yes, Terra. Listen you must get out of here," Eraqus said, but Terra once again lowered his head in failure.

"But Master, I can't. I've failed everyone. I couldn't save Aqua and Ventus and I couldn't save the worlds that have been destroyed. What else can I do?" Terra asked in sadness. Eraqus placed his hand on Terra's shoulder to comfort him.

"While that may be true, you can still save the remaining worlds and make sure that they don't fall," Eraqus said.

"But how?! I can't even defeat Sora and the Heartless he has under his command. I have nothing to use against him," Terra said.

"Terra, you do know of the boy, Riku, yes?" Eraqus asked. Terra nodded his head as he was the one who gave the boy the power of the keyblade.

"He was able to use the darkness as a weapon to protect the realm of light. You can do this as well," Eraqus said.

"But how did he do it?" Terra asked.

"He accepted that the darkness was in his heart and learned how not to be afraid of what the darkness holds and that it was a part of his strength that helped him become who he is. You have to understand that the darkness will always be there, but do not give into it. That is how he gained the power," Eraqus explained. Terra looded down in thought.

"Know that the darkness is in my heart, but don't fall too deep into it and to not be afraid of it," Terra said. He closed his eyes in focus and looked through his heart until he came upon his darkness. He opened his eyes to face the darkness and despite it lashing it out at him threateningly, he didn't look away in fear. Eventually, the darkness stopped lashing out and remained still. Terra then reached out to touch it and he felt how cold it was. He then felt it try to consume him, but he actually accepted the darkness into his heart, but didn't let him consume him. When he gained enough, he left his heart and returned to his body. He opened his eyes to see Master Eraqus standing in front of him.

"Now...I believe it is time you left this dreaded place," Master Eraqus said before disappearing. Terra then summoned darkness to his hands and feet in order to destroy the chains that were holding him. He fell to the ground on his hands and knees, but he quickly got up and destroyed the door to the room he was in with his keyblade. But doing so created a lot of noise and he could already hear multiple footsteps coming his way. Even with his new dark powers, he knew he couldn't defeat them all, so he ran until he made it into the main room, but Yuffie jumped in front of him with her giant shurikiens in hand. He stopped and tried to run the other way, but Xion stood there with her keyblades drawn and helmet on with a bunch of Invisibles floating behind her.

"Trying to escape again, Terra? How did that work for you last time?" Xion asked. Terra activated his armor and drew his keyblade and created a dark blade to dual wield with. Xion and Yuffie were surprised by this.

"I'm not running yet," Terra said before rushing at Yuffie, kicking her away while blocking an attack from Xion from behind. He quickly turned to face her and they started clashing blades, but they were evenly matched. The eventually locked blades together.

"Ah, so your putting up more of a fight this time. Good," Xion said.

"Well, gotta use these powers right," Terra said before headbutting Xion, damaging her helmet, he then slashed her five times before kicking her to the ground. He was about to strike her again when he was suddenly blasted out of the room, through the wall and all the way outside before landing on a water like surface. He looked up to see Sora, Kairi, and his kids standing at the hole in the wall. Sora jumped from the hole and walked up to Terra with keyblade at the ready.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Terra. Stop threatening my family!" Sora stated before whistling for something. Terra suddenly felt the ground shake and he turned to see a giant, three headed, Heartless guard dog running towards him. He had to jump out of the way in order to avoid getting trampled. When he recovered, he saw the dog in an attack position behind Sora, who was also in his battle stance. As much as he wanted to fight, he still wasn't on the same level as Sora was now and along with dog, he didn't stand a chance. He quickly activated his armor and glider and flew off into the air out of End of the World. Sora simply watched the keyblader fly away before petting Shadowclaw and telling him to go back to his place. Shadowclaw licked Sora again and bounded off to his territory. Kairi jumped down and walked up to Sora's side.

"Don't worry, Sora. There's nothing more he can do for the Realm of Light. Especially considering everything we've done to it," Kairi said while hugging his side.

"No, he'll find a way to become a pain. He has always tried to stop us and he will try to stop us again and now he attacks and threaten my family. This time, I'm going to kill him," Sora said with anger and he turned to face Kairi.

"Kairi, I know you won't be happy, but I want you to stay here again. Protect our children and everyone else here," Sora said. Kairi shook her head no.

"No, not again Sora. At least have someone come with you. At least let me come with you. I can't lose you Sora," Kairi said with tears coming out of her eyes. Sora pulled her into a hug to calm her down.

"Kairi, calm down. Listen, I will come back. Just because Terra has dark powers now does not make him stronger than me. If he was stronger, he would have fought me and Shadow just now. He's like Riku now and we defeated him easily. This shouldn't take me long and then we can go back to destroying worlds," Sora said. Kairi eventually calmed down and hugged Sora back.

"Okay Sora, but you better come back. Do you still have my lucky charm?" She asked. Sora nodded and pulled the charm out from his pocket.

"I carry it with me all the time," Sora said. Kairi held his hand that held the charm.

"Promise me on this, that you come back to us," Kairi said.

"I promise," Sora said. Kairi then kissed him in order to confirm it. Sora kissed back to prove that he does indeed promise her.

"Remember that we will always be here for you," Kairi said while gesturing to his family. Sora nodded before opening a dark corridor and was about to enter when he suddenly heard Ventus's voice.

"Daddy!" Ventus said while running to Sora. Sora picked him up and hugged him, while Ventus hugged him back. Eventually, they pulled away.

"Where are you going daddy?" Ventus asked in an innocent voice.

"I'm going after the badman to make sure he never threatens us again, Ven. Then we can go back to destroying worlds, okay. Be sure to protect your sisters and listen to mommy, auntie Xion and auntie Yuffie," Sora said, while still holding Ventus. Ventus nodded his head in understanding. Sora handed Ven to Kairi, who held him so he wouldn't fall. Sora then put his hood on and entered the corridor, making it disappear. Kairi started walking towards the room while still holding Ventus.

"Will Daddy be okay, Mommy?" Ventus asked quietly.

"Yeah, I believe he will be," Kairi said. She made it back to the rooms and everyone went back to sleep.

(Lanes Between)

Terra was flying through the Lanes Between making his way to the nearest world to warn them of Sora and prepare their defenses against him and the darkness. He had to stop him or else the realm of light will forever be destroyed. He kept flying when he suddenly came upon a lone, black, gummi ship flying through as well. He flew up next to them in order to contact them.

"Who are you?" A voice contacted him.

"My name is Terra, I'm a keyblader of light trying to stop the darkness from destroying the realm of light. Who are you?" Terra said.

"I'm Cloud Strife and my partner, Tifa Lockheart. We were on our way to Radiant Garden after dealing with a personal matter, but we couldn't find it on the radar. Do you know what happened?" The pilot now known as Cloud asked. Terra looked down in shame.

"Radiant Garden was destroyed by the former keyblader of light, Sora. He then killed Merlin, Cid, Leon, and most of the people of the world as well. He corrupted Yuffie to be his bodyguard and transformed Aerith into a three-year-old child," Terra said.

"What?! Why would he?!" He heard a female voice, which he could only assume to be Tifa.

"He was corrupted by the darkness to be its king," Terra said. It was silent for a few minutes when he heard Cloud say in a dark tone.

"So, what do we do now?" He asked.

"We save as many worlds as we can," Terra said, before flying forward with Cloud and Tifa flying behind him.

And I shall end it here. Ventus is now fully brought into the family, but Terra has gained control of his darkness and has escaped from Sora once again. Sora is chasing after him, but Terra has come upon some help, Cloud and Tifa. Can they save the rest of the worlds or will everything fall? I hope you guys are having a great December and I will see you guys later. Peace.
