Sora's will and Kairi ran up to the top of the castle as fast as their legs could carry them, stopping at nothing to get to Xehanort. The two knew that this was it, if they didn't stop Xehanort, Chaos could be released, and that meant that all hell, literally, could break lose.
When the two finally made it to the top at the Alter of Naught, they looked to see Xehanort-Sora standing before the Door to Darkness with wide arms. Before either Sora or Kairi could make a move, Xehanort's hands began to glow of darkness, and the Door of Darkness slowly began to open. "No…" Kairi whispered, quickly cursing to herself afterwards before yelling, "Xehanort don't!"
The old man that had taken Sora's body laughed as soon as he heard his name. "It's too late to stop it; Chaos will arrive here in time if the door continues to stay open."
"Newsflash for you, we aren't going to let that happen," Kairi replied. At this moment, the Door to Darkness was fully open, so Xehanort-Sora turned around, his yellow eyes staring into Kairi's.
"Don't you see yet? Nothing is going to stop us, Chaos will arrive here, and together we will send these worlds into the deepest pit of darkness." Xehanort ranted.
Kairi glanced over to Sora's will, who nodded before he summoned his keyblade, Kairi quickly followed and summoned her armor. "Well then we're just going to have to rewrite this ending, aren't we?"
Xehanort laughed again. "You two would be fools to fight me, with the Door to Darkness present, I am at my most powerful, nothing is going to stop me," he retorted.
"It doesn't matter how much darkness you have, as long as the light of our friends is still present, we will always defeat you," Kairi spoke, getting a thumbs up from Sora's will, which she was assuming was saying you took the words right out of my mouth.
Xehanort snorted at Kairi's comment before he put his hand out in front of him, his grey keyblade appearing in his hands instantly. (Dismiss – Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep) "If you want to fight me, fine," he glared right at Sora's will, "I still need to end that will to be secure in this body anyway!"
And before Sora and Kairi could even react, Xehanort came charging right at them, flying through the air on a wave of darkness that carried him faster than the air itself. The two heroes managed to jump out of the way before Xehanort could hit them, but they both admitted that it was a close call. Once she got away from him, Kairi fired a blast of light at Xehanort, hoping that it would bring some of his dark powers down. However, the man who had taken Sora's body merely hit the light with his hand and it vanished, not even leaving a scratch on him. As Kairi gaped at his accomplishment, Sora's will tried to come up from behind Xehanort and hit him with his keyblade, but before he could do so, Xehanort turned around and countered it with his keyblade. The two, now face to face, tried to push down on their opponents' keyblades, but eventually, Xehanort came out on top and pushed Sora out of the way.
"I am afraid you are going to have to do better than that!" Xehanort exclaimed before he quickly ran over to Sora, who was trying to get back up off the ground, and attempted to impale his keyblade into the will. However, before he could do so, Sora had managed to roll out of the way and get back up on his legs, just in time for Kairi to come to his side and assist him. Right when the two were about to try and make an attack, Xehanort had already beat them to it and had sliced his keyblade at the air, which made a wave of darkness that came right towards them. Kairi, thinking quickly as she tried to develop a strategy in her mind, brought up a reflect shield that managed to absorb the attack. Right when she took the shield down, Xehanort had thought ten steps ahead and jumped towards them, impaling his keyblade into to the ground that created a shock wave, successfully hitting the two heroes and sending them flying backwards.
Sora's will and Kairi both managed to pull themselves back up right before they saw Xehanort beginning to charge at them again. They both had to admit, Xehanort was not lying when he said he would be stronger when the Door to Darkness was open and present, and the fact that he was in a younger body did not help much either. As Xehanort was getting closer and closer to them, Sora's will had motioned to Kairi; the movements screaming give me a boost! Kairi, knowing that she had to trust her boyfriend's will for the moment, agreed and brought her keyblade out in front of her, looking like she was ready to block something. But instead of doing that, Sora came towards the keyblade and jumped on it, Kairi being able to push the keyblade away so that Sora's will was sent flying towards Xehanort. Following the will's lead, Xehanort jumped into the air as well, both of them flying at high speeds towards one another. However, right before they made contact, Sora's will fired a blast of light at Xehanort, which distracted the old man long enough for Sora to successfully hit him and send the man flying backwards.
When Sora had landed back on the ground, Kairi had joined his side just in time to see Xehanort slowly get back up onto his feet, running towards the two once again. Before he collided with them, Kairi knew that she was not going to be able to block it, so she jumped out of the way. Sora however, was not so lucky, and tried to block the attack, but Xehanort brought his keyblade from under him and sent the keyblade bearer flying backwards, nearly falling off the edge of the Alter of Naught if he did not do an aerial recovery in the neck of time. Xehanort appeared as if he was going to jump into the air after Sora, but Kairi was not going to let that happen and quickly made her keyblade make contact with Xehanort's back before he could do anything. This caused the old man to stumble forward slightly, and Kairi then topped it off with another light attack. This light attack proved to be more successful than the last and successfully managed to push Xehanort forward to the point where his face was making contact with the ground.
Once Xehanort had landed on the floor, Kairi looked behind him, seeing Sora had landed back on the ground safely, clearly winded from what Xehanort had just done to him, but seemed alright. Before they even had a moment to breathe, Xehanort had short right back up and pointed his keyblade at Sora, firing a blast of darkness at him. Sora had managed to bring his keyblade up just in time, but the attack was so strong that sent Sora flying back, over the railing of the alter. Kairi cried out his name as soon as she saw him flip over, but was relieved to see his hand gripping the railing, his life hanging by the fingers on his hands. Kairi was about to go run and help him, but before she could, Xehanort ran up to her and the two immediately locked keyblades. Kairi grunted as she struggled to keep her keyblade up, Xehanort clearly being physically stronger than her.
Right when Kairi thought she was not going to be able to hold her keyblade up any longer, she looked behind Xehanort, seeing Sora's will coming up from behind him and hitting the man who had taken his body. This gave Kairi time to back away from the man, making his keyblade hit the ground with a loud thud. Beginning to get winded himself and frustrated, Xehanort slammed his keyblade into the ground, creating a shock wave that looked like it was going to hit the heroes. Kairi, depending on strategy, jumped into the air and away from Xehanort. But in that short amount of time, Sora had jumped into the air and attempted to bring his keyblade down on Xehanort. The old man however, managed to bring his keyblade up and block the attack, forcing Sora to land back on the ground to make him at least have a chance. Sora continued to try and hit Xehanort, the two blocking each attack they were trying to throw at one another. Xehanort, knowing that he had to play dirty at this point, made his keyblade begin to glow with darkness, similar to when Sora and Mickey made light go into their keyblade, but instead it was darkness. His darkness weakened Sora and made the lingering will pull away from Xehanort for a short moment, but this was all the evil man needed.
Before Kairi could even run over to help Sora, Xehanort had impaled his keyblade into the lingering will.
Kairi could only gasp in horror as she watched Xehanort impale his keyblade into Sora's lingering will, the stab being so deep the tip of his keyblade could be seen out of the will's back. The princess only fought back the tears as she saw Sora's armor being to fall apart just like Terra's lingering will when it was destroyed. It didn't take long for the will to completely fall apart, the only thing remaining being a pile of the destroyed armor. (End Dismiss)
Xehanort-Sora growled as he unsummoned his keyblade, bringing his neck back to crack it in the process. "Finally, he is out of the way," Xehanort then turned to face Kairi, who held her hand over her mouth in shock. "Now do you see, Kairi? No one, not even Sora can stand in my way at accomplishing this goal."
Kairi lowered her hand from her mouth as Xehanort began to walk towards her. He stopped short though and quickly looked back at the opened Door to Darkness. "It is going to take some time for Chaos to make his way into this realm; do you know what that means, Kairi?"
The princess did not answer and only listened as Xehanort continued saying, "That means that I don't need to hand you over to Chaos just yet, I have time to do what I planned to do when I kidnapped you."
Cracking his knuckles, Xehanort walked forward, getting closer and closer to Kairi with each step. Kairi knew what he was talking about, he was planning to do what he wanted to do with her as soon as he got a body, and that very thought scared her to death.
As Xehanort made his journey over to her, Kairi looked over at the pile of armor pieces that once made up Sora's lingering will, nearly letting a tear fall from her eye as she stared at it. However it was then when Kairi made the realization: when Terra's lingering will was destroyed, Terra's will found his way into Xemnas's body and took over the former Lord of Organization XIII's body. Even though the appearance was different at first, Xemnas really was in Terra's body, hence explaining why Terra's will entered it.
And because Terra's will was stronger than his, Xemnas lost control of the body, the will was destroyed, and Terra was back again.
Kairi glanced back and forth at Xehanort-Sora and the pile of armor constantly. Xehanort was in Sora's body, so Sora's will could make its way back into the body, right? That meant that Sora could get his body back, he could be himself again if the will traveled back into the body. Kairi felt so much hope flow over her for a moment, but she then began to worry: what if Sora's will wasn't stronger than Xehanort's? Wouldn't that mean Sora's will would just be destroyed, and that meant he couldn't come back? Sure, Xehanort had managed to bring Xemnas back, but Kairi didn't know anyone that could bring Sora back…
Kairi didn't have any more time to think about that however because she found Xehanort right in front of her, gripping onto her wrist so tight that she thought the circulation was about to be cut off. "Now I am going to show you what it truly means when I say you belong to me now, Kairi," Xehanort pulled his face in close to Kairi's, only being inches away from her face. He then whispered in her ear, "You do belong to me, so I can do whatever I want to you."
Kairi wanted to scream, she just wanted to cry out anyone's name to come and help her. But the Princess of Heart knew that she had to take the risk: if Sora's will was going to go back into his body, she needed to give him time.
"You're—you're right," the words burned Kairi's throat, but she knew she had to distract Xehanort long enough to give Sora a chance. "I—I should have never fought back at you and Arlene. You are my m—master, so you should do whatever you want to me."
Xehanort seemed shocked but pleased by Kairi's words. "I am impressed," was all he could say.
"Stop talking," Kairi silenced him, "If you are going to do this to me, may I ask you do it as soon as possible? I do not want Chaos to interrupt us."
Xehanort-Sora only made a grin that made Kairi tense. "Or course, my dear," was his reply.
And with those words, Xehanort-Sora pulled Kairi into a kiss that quickly escalated into passionately kissing. As Xehanort-Sora forced Kairi to unsummon her armor, he began to kiss her neck, wrapping his arms around her so she could not pull away. The whole time, Kairi focused her eyes on Sora's pile of armor, only praying that the will wouldn't take forever and let Xehanort accomplish his goal.
As Xehanort-Sora continued to kiss her neck, he used his hands to take off Kairi's jacket, revealing her bear arms and her black tank top. Xehanort-Sora then pulled Kairi into another passionate kiss which she was forced to respond to. When Xehanort went back to kissing Kairi's neck, Kairi got the chance to look back over at Sora's armor and was thanking Cosmos for what she saw.
The armor began to glow a faint white and golden light.
"I am glad you finally see things my way, Kairi," Xehanort whispered to her as he kissed her again, lowering his hands to try and unclip Kairi's belt, but the princess stopped him.
"I am glad I see it this way too," she responded. Once she felt her belt come undone, Kairi brought her knee up and kicked Xehanort-Sora right in the kneecap, making the man growl out in anger. In the mists of growling however, Kairi was able to pull away from Xehanort's grip, immediately wiping her lips against her wrist and buckling her belt back up.
Now a few steps away from Xehanort, Kairi wiped her sweaty palms on her tank top, not taking her eyes off of Xehanort-Sora, who had just looked back up at her. "I admit, I should have expected that," were his words, "But you shouldn't have done that, now I will make sure you suffer through this!"
After saying that, Xehanort summoned his keyblade and almost pointed it at Kairi. If he did point it at her, Kairi didn't know because she glanced over his shoulder and saw a golden and white light come out from the armor and racing towards Xehanort-Sora.
Summoning her keyblade in the blink of an eye, she yelled, "Sora, now!"
When Xehanort heard these words, he turned around, which was just what Kairi was hoping he would do. In that very second, the princess fired a blast of light right at him, in hopes that this would make Sora have the upper hand in taking his body back, which hit Xehanort dead on. As he let out a yell, the golden and white light came right at Xehanort, going into his body instantly.
As soon as that light traveled into Xehanort-Sora's body, whoever was in control at the moment let out a scream that could be heard around the worlds. As Sora, or Xehanort, whoever it was at the moment, fell to his knees and his hands were gipping his head, the two voices began to come out of his mouth.
"NO!"
"GET OUT OF MY BODY!"
"I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE CONTROL—"
"YOU WILL NEVER TOUCH HER AGAIN—"
"I DID NOT COME THIS FAR TO LOSE—"
"I WILL NOT LET YOU WIN!"
And once whatever will said that, a white light flew out of the body, causing it to slump forward lifeless and leave Kairi to wonder if she should go up to it or not.
