In The Lanes Between

Sora, Riku, Kairi and Aqua were riding their gliders to Castle Oblivion.

"You're saying Ven is inside Castle Oblivion." Riku said.

"Yeah that's where I left him." Aqua said.

"Sounds like a charming place." Kairi muttered.

"Yeah well it is the place where Sora lost his memories." Riku said.

"Yeah but that was because Naminé was forced to do it." Sora said.

"Don't way Master Eraqus said to me that only I know the structure and layout of the castle so any unwanted visitors will get lost inside of it." Aqua said.

"That means if they want to stop us they'll have to do it before we enter." Riku said.

"I can see Castle Oblivion now." Aqua said. They looked ahead and saw Castle Oblivion coming towards them. "Get ready they'll try and stop us from reaching Ven."

"Don't worry were prepared for anything." Sora said.

Castle Oblivion: Entrance

Once they landed they were right in front of the castle and they were about to enter but Aqua stopped.

"He's here!" Aqua said.

"Whose here?" Kairi asked.

"That would be me." A voice said. They turned around to find Terra-Xehanort standing there. "So we meet again but this time I will be the one to finish you." Terra-Xehanort then summoned his Keyblade and his guardian.

"Terra please I know you're in there you must fight it." Aqua begged.

"Don't bother his heart is too deep in darkness to hear you." Terra-Xehanort said.

Terra-Xehanort then charged at them all four of them summoned their Keyblades to defend. But then something crashed down out of nowhere in-between them. Once the dust cleared they saw the Lingering Will kneeling in front of Terra-Xehanort.

"Terra?" Aqua asked.

"No that's Terra soul an oracle from Agrabah explained it to us." Riku said.

"So we meet again but this time you won't stop me." Terra-Xehanort said.

"Today is the day that I correct my mistakes." The Lingering Will said and started to stand up.

"What I want to know is how you knew I was here." Terra-Xehanort said.

"I heard her voices and followed it here." The Lingering Will said.

"Then she has lead you to your destruction." Terra-Xehanort said.

Terra-Xehanort then set his guardian to attack the Lingering Will but Sora and Kairi jumped in front of it and blasted it back with a beam of light. Terra-Xehanort then charged at them but he Lingering Will blocked the attack then they both started to glow.

"What's happening?" Terra-Xehanort asked in pain.

"I'm taking control." Terra-Xehanort said but with a different voice.

"It's Terra he's fighting Xehanort from with in." Aqua said.

"Ansem must have weakened Xehanort's control over him and now with him so close to his soul he's gain control." Kairi said.

"Aqua both you and Ven must use your Keyblades to free me." Terra said.

"But Ven's still asleep." Aqua said.

"But Ven is inside me and I'm using his Keyblade." Sora pointed out.

"It's worth a try." Aqua said.

Then she pointed her Keyblade at Terra-Xehanort and Sora did the same with Ven's. They then fired a beam from them and the beams hit both the Lingering Will and Terra-Xehanort. There was a huge blinding light and once disappeared there was only the Lingering Will but then a dark sphere exited its chest and flew up into the air and disappear.

"Do you think it worked?" Sora asked.

"I don't know." Aqua said.

Then the Lingering Will fell to the floor and the armour disappeared revealing a young man with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Is that him?" Kairi asked.

"He looks like Terra but I'm not sure." Aqua said. Slowly Terra got himself up and looked at the group in front of him.

"Aqua it's me Terra I'm back." Terra said. Aqua then burst into tears and ran up to Terra and hugged him.

"I knew the real you were in there somewhere." Aqua said as they broke apart.

"I'm just sorry it took me so long and that I let Xehanort use me like a puppet." Terra said.

"Yeah well you not the only one he used." Riku said.

"Why do you think we can have this discussion later?" Sora asked.

"He's right Xehanort might send some reinforcements." Terra said.

Then the five of them entered Castle Oblivion.

Castle Oblivion: Chamber of Wakening

The moment they entered the chamber they saw Ven sitting on a throne in the centre of the room.

"Whoa he really does look like Roxas." Kairi said.

"Okay now that we our here how do we wake him up?" Riku asked.

"I'm not sure." Aqua said.

"I could free Ven's heart like I freed Kairi's." Sora said.

"And turn yourself into a Heartless I don't think so." Kairi said.

"She right we need to think of something else." Aqua said.

"And while we think Xehanort is busy getting the last few things he needs to create the χ-blade." Sora said.

"But Sora Roxas is no longer with you we don't known what will happen if you become a Heartless again." Riku said.

"If it is to free Ven I'll take that chance." Sora said summoning his Keyblade.

"Wait! Sora if what Master Yen Sid was true then maybe you can free Ven on your own." Kairi said.

"Well it sounds better than stabbing yourself with your Keyblade." Riku said.

"Alright I'll give it a try." Sora said.

Sora then closed his eyes and concentrated. For the next few seconds nothing happened but then coming out of Sora's chest was a white bright sphere. The then floated towards Ven and entered into his chest and slowly he opened his eyes. The moment that Ven's eyes were open he looked around and the first thing he saw was Terra and Aqua.

"Terra! Aqua!" Ven said

"Oh Ven your finally awake." Aqua said hugging him.

"It's great to finally see you for twelve years." Terra said placing a hand on Ven shoulder.

"You mean to say that I've been asleep for that long." Ven said.

"It's a long story." Aqua said.

"And some of it I'm not sure about it myself." Terra said. Over the next hour they were explain what had happened over the last twelve years.

"That's quite a story." Ven said.

"And it's not finished yet we all got missions to do." Riku said.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Ven asked.

Castle Oblivion: Entrance

Once they got outside they summoned their armour.

"We'll see you guys later." Aqua said.

"If you meet Aladdin and Jasmine tell them that we said hi." Sora said.

"Don't worry we will." Ven said.

Then all of them summoned their gliders and flew into the air. Ven, Terra and Aqua entered a portal while Sora, Riku and Kairi entered another one continuing on their journey.
