As soon as the remains of Vanitas came down and stood in front of them, Sora, Ven and Kairi stared at the armor in disgust. They could not believe that this person had done so much to them, and it took forever to bring him down over a year ago, and now he is back. The three were in a state of shock and awe, and could only stare at the will as it summoned its keyblade.

"It's good to finally see you three again," the will said in an evil tone, which only caused the three to summon their keyblades and stand in a fighting position.

"That's impossible! Mickey and I killed you!" Ven exclaimed as he pointed his keyblade at the will, who only let out a laugh and proved to the keybladers he was really Vanitas's will.

"Ventus, Ventus, don't you know that even when a person is killed, their will lives on?"

"But you were killed over a year ago, why did you come back now?" Sora asked angrily.

"Eh, let's just say we had a little help…" Vanitas trailed off before he summoned his keyblade, which was the same as before but it was black and white.

"We?" Kairi said as Sora continued,

"What do you mean we?"

"Should I explain everything?" The will asked himself, "Nah, I'll just leave you three in the dark on that one. I just need to get what I came for and leave."

"What did you come for?" Ventus asked.

Vanitas's will only snickered at this before he took his keyblade and pointed right in between Ven and Sora, where Kairi was standing. As soon as Sora saw what he was pointing at, he instinctively stepped in front of Kairi, putting his hand out in front of her saying, "If you think you are going to take her, you got another thing coming."

"Please Sora, don't make this harder than it already is," the will said sarcastically.

"Don't you remember what happened when you killed me? Remember, you all died," Kairi said, saying 'died' with much force in her voice to try and scare the will off, but it wasn't working.

"I am afraid that things are different now Kairi, we aren't after all of the princesses for the X-Blade anymore, we have had a… change of plans." Vanitas explained.

"What would those plans be?" Ven asked.

"Well to keep it short and sweet so I can get it over with: we just need Kairi to come with us…"

Vanitas then stopped himself. "Eh, there's no point in explaining, let's just get this over with."

(Enter the Void – Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep) Vanitas then prepared himself by standing in his battle stance, staring the keybladers, who also stood in their stances. "Kairi, you need to get somewhere safe." Sora said to her.

"What? No! I have spent too much time standing on the side lines Sora! You two need as much help as you can get anyway, I can sense this is going to be a hard battle to face." Kairi replied to him with anger in her tone.

"She has a point," Ventus added.

"Stay out of this!" Sora replied to the Roxas look alike. "Kairi, he wants you, and if he gets to you…"

Sora trailed off, not even wanting to think about what would happen if Vanitas actually got to his beloved. "Sora, I can handle myself, really." Kairi said to her boyfriend.

Sora sighed, knowing that they did not have much more time before Vanitas attacked. So the keyblader only nodded, which nearly made Kairi squeal with excitement, but she knew this was no time to be excited, so she stopped herself. The three keyblade bearers then looked over to Vanitas before the dark version of Ven charged at them, his keyblade ready to strike. As soon as Vanitas made it over to them, he slammed his keyblade into the ground, creating a dark shock wave. The three keybladers managed to avoid it though before Ven fired a blast of fire right at the lingering will. Vanitas causally stepped to the side however, avoiding the blast with ease before he brought his keyblade up and fired an attack no one ever saw him use before. From his keyblade came an X shaped attack that did damage when you went close to it. The keybladers once again avoided it, but just barely.

Once Vanitas performed that attack, Sora saw chance to attack him from behind, so quickly ran up to him and successfully hit him with his keyblade, getting a short combo on him. But then Sora saw Vanitas freeze in midair, and wanted to smack himself in the face for not knowing better. Sora knew it was coming tough and saw Vanitas reappear in the air, bringing his keyblade down on the ground that created a dark shock wave, sending Sora back. "To slow," Vanitas mocked as he watched Sora fly backwards. But then Vanitas felt something make contact with his back, and he was sent flying forward, his face making contact with the ground. When the will got back on his hands and knees, he looked over, seeing Kairi standing right by where he once stood with her keyblade smoking at the tip from some kind of magic attack.

Even though Kairi expected her light attack to make Vanitas not want to get back up, the will shot up anyway, running towards her. Thankfully, Ven made it to Kairi just in time to use a reflect attack that sent Vanitas flying back again, but it did not do that much damage to him. Vanitas then ran over to them again, but then jumped in the air and appeared to glide on darkness, which made him get over to the two much easier. This glide proved to be a very powerful attack, since it cut through Kairi and Ven's blocks and brought the two to their knees. The two keyblade masters got right back up though since it seemed that the lingering will was not going to stop there. This was when Sora, who recovered from that last attack, tried to attack Vanitas from behind again, but when Sora brought his keyblade down on the will, h disappeared.

When the three looked around to see where Vanitas had gone to, they soon realized that the will had much more up his sleeve than anyone expected. They noticed this when the area around them suddenly turned dark, making their vision weak, and then all three of them felt another attack from the will before it began bright again. "Show me anger!" The will yelled as he pointed his keyblade up in the air while the three heroes began to get up from the last attack. The lingering will then charged at them, and sliced his keyblade in the air, which made a powerful air shockwave fly right towards them. Sora, who was the first to get up from this attack, noticed it first while Kairi and Ven where still recovering. So quickly, Sora brought his keyblade up to block the attack, and the shockwave made contact with it. Even though Sora seemed to succeed with blocking this attack, the force of the shockwave sent him flying back, hitting the ground hard and tumbling over the dust covered ground.

"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed as she ran towards her boyfriend, trying to get over to him so he wouldn't get hurt by Vanitas anymore. This is ridiculous, he's only hit us a few times, but he is to over powered! Was all Kairi could think. As Kairi ran over to Sora, the will tried to beat her to it, but Ven shot right back up and managed to send Vanitas back, away from Sora and Kairi. Ven knew that he had to keep Vanitas as far away from them as possible, just until Kairi made sure Sora was alright.

As soon as Kairi ran over to Sora, she noticed the keyblader on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. "Sora, are you alright?" She asked. But the keyblader did not answer, and only continued to breathe like that. At first, Kairi suspected the worst and figured that Sora fractured a lung, but she quickly dismissed this and only tried to talk to Sora more. "Sora please! Show me in some way that you are alright!"

Thankfully, it seemed that Sora did respond to her this time and brought his hand out and dropped something on the ground before he quickly put his hand back on the ground to hold him up. Kairi then looked down, seeing what Sora had dropped: a small, red orb that had an unusual glow to it. Kairi knew what it was; it was the orb that Sora used to enter Valor Form, one of the special abilities that came with his clothes. At first Kairi was relieved, but then she back thinking: why hadn't Sora entered the form yet? She thought that as soon as he touched the orb, he would enter it, but why wasn't he?

But then Sora brought his head up, and Kari gasped with realization.

Sora's eyes were yellow, but not like how Vanitas's eyes used to be, but they literally looked like two glowing orbs. Kairi then stood up; noticing that all over Sora's body was swirls of darkness. And in the blink of an eye, Sora turned pitch black, clothes and all, and Kairi's suspicions where finally confirmed.

Sora had entered Anti Form.

In an act of desperation, Kairi ran away from Sora running towards Ven, who locked keyblades with Vanitas. "Ven run!" She yelled, but it seemed Ven ignored her and was too busy fighting off the will, so she yelled louder. "Ventus run!"

Hearing his full name sparked his attention, and Ven turned around. However, this gave Vanitas the perfect chance to catch his former half off. So the will brought his keyblade up, trying to slash Ven, but Kairi made it over to Ven just in time, putting her hands on his shoulders and forcing him to duck, causing Vanitas to cut in air. The lingering will knew for a fact that Kairi did not make Ven duck because of his slash, he was too quick for her to notice. But then Vanitas looked up and saw why she made him duck…

Because a very angry Sora, in full out Anti Form, was jumping right at him.


Eh, that was a horrible cliffhanger, but at least I updated right?

So yeah, about that, I am REALLY sorry for not updating in FOREVER! I am not going to say I didn't lose my motivation, cause I admit I kind of did, but Easter, family coming in, and a bunch of other stuff didn't help much.

Speaking of which, happy late Easter! I am really happy cause I got Rise of the Guardians, and I swear it is the best movie DreamWorks has ever produced! I loved it so much I am already considering writing a fanfic about it!

Oh and that reminds me, I think I have an idea planned out so that those huge updating halts will stop. So I think what I am going to do is release two more stories that will only be updated when I have writers block, lost motivation for that story, etc., for the story that is my main progress, which is this one. I know what you are thinking, 'well Twilight you already have two stories out!' But LADFM is only updated when I feel like it, which is rare, and I am kind of questioning about what to do with Destiny's Salvation right now. I really want to continue writing that, but I am considering making it a spin off of this story. But I am going to let you guys decide that by voting on the poll I have up that I NEED YOU GUYS TO VOTE ON!

But, so I decided, to make it up to you guys, I am going to try something. I decided, that if you guys can get me on 100 favorite another's lists before this story is over (we are currently 3 away!) that I will give you guys not one, not two, but three secret endings to this story! So if you guys want this, get me on 100 favorite author's lists!

GUYS! We got 17 reviews on the last chapter! That is the most reviewed chapter in this story to date! That's. Friggin. AMAZING!

Anywho, you guys hear that they are continuing the KH manga series in English? I think that is awesome, especially since the first one is coming out in May! (even though I only read the first two manga books of KH)

Any Percy Jackson BOOK fans out there? Well I am one, and they just released a trailer for the Sea of Monsters movie. I got to say, I have my doubts, especially since the first movie was such a disgrace to the series, but I must admit, it looks much more faithful to the book.

So anyway, I apologize for the lack of updates, but I am going to keep trying to update more! So please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
