This chapter gets a bit wordy by the middle-end of it.

Chapter Fifty-Nine

ଓ

With love, from your guardian angel

As the crew continued their way further in the castle, both Marie and Aura's foreheads began to glow. Marie felt it burning more than usual, and when she rubbed it the others started to notice the glow as well.

"Whoa, your foreheads are glowing!" Ryan said as he pointed to them. Sora walked up to Marie as he rubbed her arm, which Kairi took note of, while Aura closed her eyes for a bit. She noted that it was a different feeling than usual, to which Marie agreed. Kairi wondered who the brunette girl was, since she looked quite similar to Marie, but she was too intimidated to approach her.

"Why are you foreheads glowing?" Sora asked as he kept rubbing her arm. Riku was another to wonder about the relationship between Sora and Marie, but he was also curious about the glows. Aura looked up towards the sky as she saw a beam going straight towards Kingdom Hearts, and she caught everyone's attention as she made them look. "What's that?" Sora asked.

"It's the king and DiZ—I mean, Ansem the wise—"

"Ansem's actually here!?" Marie said as she unintentionally interrupted Riku. He nodded, and she looked towards the path ahead of them. She brought up her hands and ignored the burning sensation coming from her forehead a bit, and wondered about Ansem. She was about to start running so that she could see him, but a couple of large cards came up behind her, Aura and Sora. When they turned around they saw Luxord standing right in front of the cards, and when the cards disappeared, so did the rest of the crew.

"Luxord—"

"I'd rather we just skip the formalities," Luxord said as he interrupted Aura. He snapped his finger as they were all teleported into his own room, which has greatly changed from the last time Aura saw it. He presented them all with a couple cards that had faces of the gang, and Aura rolled her eyes.

"Nuh-uh, I'm not having this," she growled as she pointed her Keyblade at him. "I've always hated your card games."

Luxord just laughed as the cards disappeared. He brought up random cards that started to attack the trio, but they were quick on their toes and got to hacking them away. Luxord was the kind of man who had plenty of tricks up his sleeves, and Aura let the other two know. Marie attacked a couple of the cards near her while Sora used a bit of his magic, Aura was trying to get to Luxord so she could attack him, but he kept disappearing into his cards.

"I find it awfully sad that we never got the chance to talk," he mocked Aura. She rolled her eyes again and swung her Keyblade as she attacked a couple of cards, and it was getting annoying that she couldn't just hit Luxord straight up. He kept hiding behind his cards, and Sora attacked a couple more cards. They didn't know where they stood what with attacking the cards, and Aura spun around as she faced Luxord.

"We never talked because I barely saw you around," she admitted. She managed to run up to him as she landed some heavy hitters, and he was pretty damaged from them. "Honestly, I hate card games, so we would probably never talk anyways."

She attacked him a couple more times, and Marie noticed this. She pulled the trigger from her Keyblade and released the stars from it, which went straight towards Luxord. Sora came in after fighting off the last bit of his cards, and continuously attacked Luxord. Since he really only had his cards, he didn't have much to defend himself with, so he took some big hits. In fact, it was a pretty easy fight for the trio, and Marie was really getting in tune with her fighting abilities. It wasn't that hard to get Luxord feeling fatigued, and when he surrounded himself with his cards, Sora quickly slashed it horizontally.

Luxord fell right after, and while supporting himself on one knee, looked at Sora's back. "How could you… Roxas…"

"That's Sora!" he shouted back. Aura willed her Keyblade away and wrapped her arm around the other as large cards appeared all around them. When they left the rest of the gang appeared. Kairi asked if they were all okay, and Sora replied. "Yea, no worries. Let's keep going!"

They were teleported out of the room and saw another room lit up. Aura walked a bit ahead and noticed it belonged to Saix—and she knew what they had to do. She turned to the rest and gave them a piercing look, but then focused straight on Marie. "Do you want to meet your friend from the past? I'll tell you now; he's not the person you remember."

Marie walked over to her as she clasped her hands together. She looked over to the lit room door that had a symbol on it—something resembling a moon. She lowered her eyes and gave a long and weary sigh, this was it; she was finally going to meet Isa. She got lucky that Axel wasn't anywhere near corrupted, but she was certainly worried after hearing all of the things that Saix did.

"I'll be fine, and we need to stop every member of Organization XIII," she said. She turned to Aura, who nodded, and then to the rest. They all looked at her before nodding; Sora and Riku knew that Saix's Somebody was good friends with Marie, so they knew it was going to be tough. Regardless, they all followed her and Aura as they entered the room.

When they walked inside, Aura led them all the way towards the end of the room, where Saix stood staring out into the big window he had. It sported Kingdom Hearts, and as he heard footsteps approaching he turned around and faced the crew that he had anticipated.

"Only you could have made it this far in one piece… Roxas," Saix said. He noticed Aura fidget a bit, and decided to play with it. "But then, with Aura by your side, I bet you feel you can do anything."

"That's really getting old!" Sora shouted. Donald and Goofy ran in front of Sora as they told Saix to stop calling him Roxas. The bluenette merely stared for a while until he brought out his sword, which transformed into a larger weapon. Marie gasped as she ran in front of everyone else and spread her arms across them.

"Isa, please!" she begged. "Whatever happened to you? I know that this isn't you… can't we just go back to how it was, you know, with you, me and Lea?"

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen," he said as he glared at Marie. She had a look of sadness on her face and she lowered her eyes, was there really no way to help Isa? The man just scoffed. "Those times will never come back. Just accept your fate as a sacrifice."

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Aura said as she brought out her Keyblade. She walked up in front of Marie as the blonde returned to the back. Aura glared right into Saix's golden eyes, and she pointed her Keyblade at him. "I don't care if you were my original's friend; I'm going to wipe the floor with you—for everything you've ever done!"

Saix took that as the invitation to start, and he created a blast that knocked Marie, Kairi, Ryan and Riku off to the side. He created a portal so they couldn't enter the field, and Marie tapped against it. She called out to Sora and the remainder that were in the field, and he turned and mouthed that he would be okay. Aura was the first to attack, and while Saix went completely berserk, she still landed an attack. Sora, Donald and Goofy came in after with their own set of attacks, and Marie watched with anxiety as her friends fought.

"You knew that psycho?" Ryan asked as he looked at Marie. She nodded, but told them that he was a pretty carefree person back then. She loved that he was always with her and Lea and that he smiled a lot back then. She didn't mind his sarcasm as much as Lea did, but that was part of his charm. She looked at the fight that was currently going on, and she sighed as she watched Isa become a maniac.

"Marie, you knew these people?" Kairi asked as he walked up to the blonde. Marie tensed up a bit when Kairi's hand touched her shoulder, but she loosened up when she turned to her.

"I knew some of them. I knew Axel, Saix, Xigbar, and Dilan," she said as she looked at both Kairi and Riku. "I even knew Xehanort. He was the one who kidnapped me from Destiny Islands, but he didn't look the way he does now."

She was able to remember more on Xehanort, but it still became somewhat of a blur when she tried to remember the Xehanort who kidnapped her. Kairi gasped a bit when she heard about the kidnapping part, but was relieved that Marie was still around. She took a deep breath though, and decided to ask a question that had been on her mind.

"And… you and Sora?" Marie's eyes widened a bit as she blushed, and Kairi looked down to the necklace that she had on—the one similar to the necklace Sora wore. She chuckled to herself, thinking she was asking a stupid question—of course she knew the answer to that question, and she smiled at Marie. "I'm happy for you two."

Riku stared at them both, and knew that Kairi would always care for Sora. But he was glad that she accepted that Marie and Sora were together, but he had always been amazed at her maturity and level of understanding. Ryan looked over at Kairi, and never really realized just how pretty she was, of course, he knew she was pretty—but taking a closer look really helped. Kairi noticed him staring and blushed a bit, but the brunette hadn't noticed, he only smiled at her.

"Say, Kairi… how's Selphie doing?" he asked. He knew it wasn't the right time to be asking, but he couldn't help but be concerned about the girl. Kairi just smiled, and told him that she was doing fine, but she had noticed that he went missing—everyone noticed it. Ryan was surprised, since he felt like most of his time was spent in the hospital, so he got the idea that no one really noticed him. Kairi shook her head; she was the first along with Selphie to notice that he was gone, and both Tidus and Wakka told her that he went looking for Marie.

"I actually would have gone with you…" she admitted. Ryan scratched the back of his head, and felt a bit bashful at how sweet Kairi was being. Still, he thanked the redhead for being so considerate, and Kairi blushed again. Marie looked at the two and was glad they were pretty nice to each other, even Riku was glad there would be no animosity in the group.

Marie turned her attention towards the battle between Saix, Sora, Aura, Goofy and Donald. They were all fighting with all their might and she felt bad that she couldn't participate, however, she felt like she wouldn't be able to hit Saix. He was still someone to her, and she was honestly devastated that he wouldn't stop. Ryan kept his eye on Aura who, not too long ago, revealed she was one half of Marie. It was honestly hard to take in and he couldn't really think of anything to say, but he was glad a strong girl like Aura was on their side—he was also glad that a half of Marie was an epic fighter. He would honestly miss her when they part ways. Aura came in full force in the fight, since she did not like Saix one bit. He was a manipulative person and she hated all that he did—playing with the minds of everyone was something she couldn't forgive. She played with Roxas' mind, Axel's mind and even her own—but no more!

She blocked an attack and quickly spun her keyblade at him, but he was able to block half of it. She wasn't done though, and she ran up to the Nobody in top speed as she brought out her hand. With a simple snap she sent Saïx flying across the room, and Sora attacked him as he was about to land. Donald fired a round of his spells and Goofy did the usual of helping others by protecting them. He spun his shield around occasionally.

Aura fell hard on her back as she was attacked by Saïx, and she bent over to catch her breath for a bit. Marie noticed this and brought her hands together as she watched Aura bent down, and she felt horrible that she couldn't help them. She closed her eyes for a moment but felt her forehead burning a bit more. Aura felt the same thing and she looked over to Marie—something was going on and she wondered if time was running out for her. Would she merge with Marie before the big fight? She quickly shook her head and focused on the fight before her. Sora kept attacking Saïx repeatedly and she ran towards them as she raised her keyblade—ready to deliver the final blow. Unfortunately, Saïx blocked the attack and pushed her aside, but she quickly got up.

"You know you really should have listened to your friends," Aura said as she stood face-to-face with Saïx. He glared at the girl before him, and was getting tired of her overbearing sarcasm. She didn't care. "But then, all of your friends seem to bail on you—even if your only friend was Axel."

"I could say the same for you," he spat back. She smirked at the man as she shook her head.

"I surprisingly have a handful of them, and I'm not going to take them for granted like you did," she retorted. She looked over to the other three and they all nodded as they concentrated all of their attacks into one bum rush. Goofy came in as a distractor while Donald kept casting his spells, and Sora dragged his keyblade on the floor before picking it up, and together with Aura they slashed and brought Saïx down to his knees.

As the force field disappeared from Marie and the others, she quickly ran up towards Saïx, but was stopped by both Sora and Aura. She watched with a bit of sadness as Saïx got up from the ground and limped over to the window. He looked up at kingdom hearts.

"Why… kingdom hearts… where is my heart?" he pleaded. Marie lowered her eyes as he started to disappear, and she took a deep breath once he was gone. A friend so dear to her went and had his mind corrupted by the darkness, was there even a way to bring him to the light?

"I don't get it. Why's everyone been calling me Roxas?" Sora asked as he turned to Riku. The man in the coat explained it to him, and simply said that Roxas was his Nobody. "My… Nobody? But that's crazy; I never turned into a heart… oh, right."

"It happened when you rescued both Kairi and Marie," Aura said. Everyone turned to her, and Sora suddenly felt like he knew the reason why she was so familiar. She didn't look at them, and continued speaking. "He was found by Xemnas about a week before me, and the reason he was able to use the keyblade was because he was your Nobody."

"It's the reason why he was brought into the Organization—and partly the reason why Aura was brought into it, but their main focus with her was her powers with Kingdom Hearts," Riku finished. He looked over to the brunette as she was still turned, but he continued. "But Roxas betrayed them. After that I fought him because I thought it would help you wake up. I lost, but the next time we met, I made sure I was the stronger one."

Riku continued saying how he really didn't think he had to fight him, since he believed that Roxas left the Organization because he wanted to meet Sora. The brunette boy lowered his eyes, and felt regret about not having the chance to meet him, but Riku pointed at his heart. Sora brought his hand up and touched it, and what Riku meant by it was that Roxas was already in Sora's heart. Riku turned around and started walking to the exit, telling hem they had to go. Kairi and Ryan followed not long after, with Sora, Donald and Goofy close behind. Aura stayed behind a bit, and she lowered her head as she stared down towards the floor. Marie noticed this, and walked up to the brunette and asked if she was feeling all right.

"I… was angry with Roxas because I thought he didn't care about me," she said. "I guess… I never really knew how much Roxas was going through. I was definitely being inconsiderate."

"Do you… love Roxas?" Marie asked. Aura didn't really know—what with everything happening, she didn't know if she was still going to exist. What did Roxas think of her now? Did he hate her guts because she was so insensitive? Did he no longer want to be her friend? It was hard to tell, and the more she kept it behind, the less she felt being close to him.

"Marie, Aura, are you guys okay?" Sora said as he came back into the room looking for them. Marie looked as the whole crew came back, and Aura sighed. Marie told him she was fine, and she looked over to Aura, who was still distant.

"Aura, are you okay?"

Aura's eyes widened as she heard Roxas' voice, and she turned towards Sora. She sighed again when all she saw the brunette looking at her oddly. She shook her head and looked at everyone else. She had a crooked smile; since it was the best she could pull at the moment, and nodded.

"Let's go," she said. She walked past everyone and headed towards the exit. Marie didn't get an answer to her question, and she was worried about Aura—she seemed way calmer than before, and she wondered if maybe Aura was hiding something else from them.

While the beam was still pointing at Kingdom Hearts, it started to shake and become a bit unstable. Ansem started laughing, with Mickey asking if he was alright, but the man just shook his head. "I'm a fool. I've spent years studying the workings of a heart. Yet it seems I still haven't learned a thing!"

"What do you mean?" asked the King.

"The process of encoding hearts is incalculable. The inhabitants of my twilight town were data created from real hearts," he explained. "I was convinced that they would think and behave the way I had envisioned—but I couldn't have been more wrong. A heart is so much more than any system. I saw it when Roxas and Kairi crossed paths, or when he met Marie."

Ansem was too stubborn to accept it, and it was always the same. He would wrap around things that his heart knew, but they kept failing. He mentioned how he had so many plans while trying to bring back Sora, but when the boy was active none of those plans came to fruition. His research amounted to nothing compared with Sora's heart. The machine started to buzz and frizz and the King grew worried, but the wise man only stated that he was right about the heart being unable to be contained by data.

"Run, my friend! It's going to self-destruct, and anything could happen!" Ansem warned him. The king was unsure of what to do, and as luck had it, the crew came running up to them.

"Your majesty!" Sora shouted. Marie came up running beside him, but almost fell over when she saw the face that she had wanted to meet for years. She quickly came to a stop, and the man turned to her—giving her one of his warmer smiles.

"A…Ansem, it's really… it's really you," she said, barely in a whisper. He nodded at the girl, and she brought a hand over her mouth. The tears came rushing down, not that she could do much to prevent them, and her knees felt like buckling. "Ansem… oh Ansem… I waited forever to see you… to say that I've missed you… to say that not a day went by where I wasn't thinking about you."

"To have this moment speaking with you, my dear Marie… is worth the troubles I've gone through," he said. She kept crying uncontrollably, and he noticed the look of sheer happiness on her face—a face he was hurt to see, considering what was about to erupt. "Had I not let you help with my research you would have not gone through all that has occurred with you. I am truly sorry."

"No… no, don't apologize, none of that matters," she said as her voice cracked a bit at the end. "I finally got to meet you, and if going through all of that had to be done just to see you again; I would do it again—just to have my 'big brother' back."

Ansem smiled at the young girl before him. She was certainly a different person from when he knew her, but he was glad. She gave a big smile at him, but looked down at the machine that he was holding, and it seemed way too out of control. It gave out a spark, and the king called out to Ansem. The man looked over to Sora, who told him that the rest was up to them all. He then proceeded to talk to Roxas, and hoping the boy would hear him, apologized. Mickey shouted his name once more, but the man shook his head.

"My heart is telling me what I must do," Ansem replied, making Marie's smile immediately drop. "Please allow me to do what it says!"

Marie gasped as she heard him say that, but Sora held her back. The tears came falling back down, and even the king protested against it, but Riku interrupted. "His heart's decided. We can't change that."

"I was wondering who would dare interfere with my Kingdom Hearts. And look—here you all are." A portal appeared as another man in a black coat appeared, and Aura growled as she knew who it was—Xemnas. "How convenient for me."

"Kingdom Hearts is not yours you idiot!" Aura shouted as loud as she could. Xemnas merely ignored her, and looked over to Ansem.

"Ansem the wise… you look pathetic," he told him. Ansem merely told him that he deserved it for failing to see Xemnas for the fool he was. "Students do take after their teachers. Only a fool would be your apprentice. After all, none of this would have happened without you. You are the source of all Heartless."

Xemnas told him that it was Ansem's research that inspired him to go further than he went, and it lead to them discovering the powers of Marie and Aura. Ansem admitted that his disregard brought chaos to more than one world, but asked Xemnas what he was seeking. The apprentice had kicked Ansem into the darkness and used his own name and continued research that shouldn't have been researched.

"Is this the answer you've been looking for?" he asked.

"All that and more. I'm carrying on what you yourself began, and I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time," he replied. Aura eyed the man as he continued to speak, while Marie was still being held back as she whimpered for Ansem's safety. "I thought you'd praise me, but all you ever di is hold me back. I understand though. Unlike me, you have a heart. And you're powerless to control it. Consumed, by the jealousy you feel toward the student who surpassed you."

"Xehanort. Foolish apprentice of a foolish man. You have surpassed nothing—only proved how little we both know," Ansem replied, struggling to hold onto the machine. "We may profess to know the heart, but its essence is beyond our reach. We're both ignorant—as oblivious as when we began. I'm afraid that any world you try to create… any world of yours… would be an empire of ignorance. That is why you and your creation are destined to fall!"

The machine under Ansem grew too unstable, and he stopped talking once he noticed. He looked over to Riku, telling him that he knew what he had to do, and to Mickey, who called him his dear friend. He apologized to him, and the King was incredibly disheartened.

But the most disheartened of them all was Marie, who struggled out of Sora's grasp as she kept crying. Ansem turned to her, and he gave her one final smile as he spoke.

"You are a strong young woman, Marie—just like your mother." She stared at him as he continued to smile, and she begged him not to go. He gave a small chuckle. "You, my dear, hold a special power that no one can take. Change the worlds, so that no one will ever have to leave the ones they love behind. Farewell."

She cried out his name as she finally got out of Sora's grasp, but the machine lit up as it began to disintegrate. They all gasped as they saw her running towards Ansem, but had to cover their eyes as the light grew too bright. A bomb erupted from where Marie and Ansem stood, and Sora cried out for Marie and assumed she got caught in the explosion. The gang all fell to the floor from the tremor that appeared, and Aura, who was blinded by the light, was brutally punched in the back of her head and fainted as a result. She was caught before she fell to the floor, and went through a portal with the man in the black coat. Hearts started falling from the sky, and as they reached towards the floor Heartless came sprouting out.

When the light, explosion and tremors stopped, Sora was the first to get up. He gasped as he saw Marie still standing with a shield placed up in front of her. When it disappeared, she quickly fell to her knees and placed her palms on the floor. A single string of red cloth fell from the sky, and she watched with tears in her eyes as it fell to the ground. She picked it up and started hiccupping as she held it tight. Sora ran up to her side and pulled her into a tight hug, where she started crying.

"Sora…" she managed to let out.

"It's okay…" he cooed. She held on tighter to the hug, and after a few moments of letting her tears out, the rest of the crew slowly got up, save for Riku. She stopped crying, thinking that she was starting to become a burden, and kissed the cloth as she safely tucked it away in her pocket. Sora kept hugging her and rubbed her back a bit, but he looked over to his best friend, who seemed completely different and was still on the ground. "Riku…?"

Marie parted from the hug and turned to her friend as well, and when they both noticed his skin was a different tone, immediately got up and ran over to him. He grunted and groaned as he got up, but when he did, the rest of the gang walked up to him and watched as he was turned back into himself. He was still wearing his black coat and his hair grew longer, but he was sporting a blindfold now. Donald and Goofy awed at his appearance, while Kairi cheered. Ryan seemed pretty amazed that he got his body and appearance back, but was mostly surprised at how much he changed in looks.

"Ansem did say "anything could happen"…" Mickey said. Marie looked down to the floor and Sora noticed. She shook her head however, and looked over to Riku. He looked back, but the girl just smiled at him—even if she didn't really feel like smiling.

"Riku, are you going to take off your blindfold?" she asked. The young man tilted his head until he realized it was still on, and when he took it off Marie was pleasantly surprised. Sora asked why he had it on, but Mickey explained that his eyes couldn't lie. Sora teased him and asked who he was trying to fool, but Riku nonchalantly replied that he was fooling himself.

"Riku, why'd you try to do so much by yourself?" Sora asked. He pulled everyone in the gang near him and pointed at all of them. "You got friends… like us!"

Riku took a long, hard look at everyone. Donald, Goofy and Mickey all smiled at the teen, while Kairi and Ryan smiled as they nodded. Sora and Marie were at the center, and the brunette gave him a big, bright smile. He looked over to the blonde who, even though was immensely in pain after losing Ansem, gave a genuine smile at him.

"Have you forgotten? I'll tell you why," he walked up to Sora, and had a slight smirk plastered in his face. "'Cause I'm not a total sap like you."

"Say that again!" Sora retorted, getting back to their rival-like friendship. Donald gulped as they looked over to Kingdom Hearts, which had hearts falling out of it. They walked over to the edge of the balcony and saw countless of Heartless making their way up the castle. Sora asked what they should do, and Riku told them they needed to defeat Xemnas.

"He's the Organization's last survivor," Riku told them. Marie perked her head at what Riku said, and looked around the room to find what she was looking for. She couldn't find Aura anywhere, and she gave a loud gasp as she found her hat lying near the shadows. She ran over and bent down near it as she picked it up, and on cue made everyone aware that Aura was missing.

"Do you think… something happened to Aura?" Marie asked, unprepared of the answer that she was hoping she wouldn't receive. Riku walked up and bent down near her as he looked at the hat. He grew a bit worried about Aura, and was brought back to what she had told him not too long ago.

"You're absolutely right. I am an inconsiderate Nobody, but I'll disappear soon."

He mentally cursed to himself—was she going to stop Xemnas on her own? No, she didn't really fit the type, and he knew she wasn't stupid enough to walk in front of Xemnas and demand a fight. But really, with the way she had been acting he grew even more worried. He didn't really want to talk to her throughout their time together in the castle because he felt intimidated—which was a first for him, but it was her eerily calm exterior that intimidated him. How could she stay so calm when they were fighting their biggest foe?

"I cannot exist… everyone was right; I shouldn't exist. When the time comes, we'll be fighting side by side I hope… so I'm not going to say goodbye right now, I'll save that for later. When I disappear, Riku… forget me. Forget everything about me… I don't want to be the person that just disappeared. I would rather no one remember me from the start than be the person that they knew… as if I was somebody."

"Riku, do you think she went to fight Xemnas?" Marie asked, taking the question right out of his head. He continued to look down at the hat—the hat that Aura loved so much—and grabbed it from Marie's hands.

"No, and even if she did, I won't let her. She can't disappear like this," he said. Marie noticed a small speck of fire in his eyes, and she wondered why Riku was so protective of Aura all of a sudden. Last she recalled they didn't talk one bit when they were all together, so what was going on? She looked at the hat and how Riku had a tight hold on it, but she didn't want to ask. She was worried about Aura as well, but she had to ask something.

"You said Xemnas was the last survivor of Organization XIII, but Aura was part of it too," she said. She looked over to Sora, who had recently solved his problems with the blonde member of the Organization. "Roxas was a part of Organization XIII too, but now he's with Sora. What happens to Aura?"

"…I'm not really sure. It's different with you two," he said. Marie raised her eyebrow in confusion, but Riku continued. "If Aura goes back to you the two halves become whole, and it'll be much easier for Xemnas to take hold of your power. She wants to stay the way she is so that no one can take that power, but… I know she feels incomplete with just being a Nobody…"

"I don't wanna lose Aura…," the blonde stated. Riku nodded, and agreed with her. He got up, and held the hat she wore close to his heart. He wasn't going to let Aura disappear.

"Come on, let's go. Aura needs all of us," he said. Sora agreed with him along with the rest, even Kairi agreed even though she had never spoken to the girl. Marie got up and thanked Riku, telling him that they all needed her as well.

Oh. Em. GEEE. We're officially at the end of the worlds, but we're not done until it gets to the epilogue, which will be another mind frak. Keep your seat belts on; we're going for a ride!

What the heck man, haha. That's just a big no-no.
