Dragonose's POV- Castle Dungeons

Dragonose was zipping through the dungeons, searching for Flynn. He heard from Ymke and Xenysis that Flynn was captured. By the time he found Flynn, he was being led down a lit hallway by three guards. Then, the door in front of them slammed shut, then then, out of a couple of side rooms came the guys from the Snuggly Duckling. They made quick work of the guards, who fell unconscious.

When they got outside, there was an army waiting for them, and Dragonose wasn't sure if a bunch of frying pans could handle it. So, he summoned the Novaking. Then, one of them moved Flynn over to a leaning board.

Hook: "Arched back."

Flynn: "Arched back."

Hook: "Arms in."

Flynn: "Arms in."

Hook: "Knees apart."

Flynn: "Knees apart? Why do I need to keep my knees apar-"

Just then, another jumped on the other side of the board, sending Flynn flying. Dragonose went after him, wings spread, only to find him mounted on Maximus. Maximus then began running at what looked like top speed toward the edge of the wall, and jumped, with Flynn screaming to not jump. Maximus landed on a nearby roof, and jumped to the ground.

Flynn: "Alright, let's see how fast you can run."

Maximus then sped up even faster, to unbelievable speeds. Dragonose actually had to try to keep up, he was going as fast as he could fly. Then Equitar and Fury appeared next to Dragonose, with Xenysis and Ymke riding them. Soon, they were at the tower again.

Ymke's POV- The Tower

Dragonose and Ymke tried to get through the window, but it was blocked by a veil of darkness. Only Xenysis, for some reason, was able to pass through. Flynn yelled up to them that he found a door on the ground leading up the tower. The three went up a set of stairs, and when they reached the top, they met a trapdoor. Flynn opened it, and gasped.

Ymke: "What is it?"

Flynn: "It's Xenysis. He seems to be losing it."

Ymke: "What?!"

Ymke came bursting into the scene, only to witness Xenysis being covered in a sphere of darkness. Gothel gave her a look that said that she wasn't doing this. When Xenysis appeared out of the sphere, he had a new set of armor on. This armor, however, looked more like red and black muscles. On his chest, he had a white crest that looked like a cross with an upside-down heart. He held a different keyblade than the Lover's Embrace. It looked like two keys crossing each other, with a blade connecting the two. The keychain contained the crest of the heartless.

Dragonose: "Xenysis! Don't let the darkness control you! Fight it!"

Gothel: "It's too late for your friend, he has become consumed in darkness. Typical of a Nobody."

Ymke: "Who are you calling a nobody?!"

'Xenysis': "It's too late, Ymke. I am now the darkness. There's nothing any of you could do about it."

Gothel: "That's right, my Nobody! Give in to the darkness!"

'Xenysis': "Not so fast, Gothel. I may be of the darkness now, but you don't control me."

Xenysis then began forming a sphere of darkness around Gothel. However, Gothel did a sweep with her hand, and the darkness dissipated. She then summoned an army of wolf heartless, and ordered them to attack Ymke and Dragonose, who incinerated them with fire.

Ymke: "Just because you're being controlled by darkness, doesn't mean that you can't break that control. You just have to fight it."

'Xenysis': "Fight… it?"

Dragonose: "Yes, fight it!"

'Xenysis': "But, Gothel told me that even if I fight it, darkness will still be part of me."

Ymke: "A friend of mine once said, 'Just because you're part of the light doesn't make you good, and just because you're of the darkness doesn't make you evil.' That friend was you. If you fight the darkness, conquer over it, then embrace it, then you can still be good."

Dragonose: "Strangely, that actually makes sense."

Gothel: "Control over darkness, and still good?! Please, everything dark is evil! Just look for yourselves!"

Using darkness, Gothel changed her dagger into a broadsword, and stabbed Flynn dangerously close to his then formed an arena barrier, and tossed him outside of it.

Rapunzel: "Eugene!"

Gothel: "Save your tears, Rapunzel. These two are next."

'Xenysis': "Not if… I can… help it."

Gothel: "Oh, please. You can barely control yourself. How will you protect your friends?"

'Xenysis': "Like… THIS!"

At that, Xenysis turned the keyblade on himself, stabbed it in, and did an unlocking motion. Aheart appeared out of him, and he split into two parts. His heart formed into a carbon copy of Xenysis before he released his heart. His body changed back into what he was wearing before he went in the tower. The new form made of his heart, however, has a crest of the heartless on it. Both of them then jumped in front of the three of them. The Nobody drew twin swords, covered in darkness, and the heartless summoned the keyblade from before, as well as the Lover's Embrace. They both crossed their blades in a defensive manner.

Heartless: "Hey there, Ymke. I'm Xenysis's heartless.

Nobody: "And yes, I'm Xenysis. But, I'm without a heart now. The only way for the Xenysis you guys know to come back…"

Heartless: "... is for both of us to be destroyed."

Gothel sent wave after wave of pure darkness. Each time, the heartless and Nobody of Xenysis struggled a little bit , the Nobody cast protega, and the heartless cast firaga. Destroying themselves and knocking out Gothel. Where the two used to be, Xenysis now stood.

Ymke: "Xenysis!"

Xenysis: "I'm alright, just a bit tired."

Dragonose: "Thank goodness."

Xenysis: "However, Eugene doesn't look too hot over there."

Eugene was keeping Rapunzel from healing him, and to everyone's shock, he took a piece of broken glass and cut off almost all of Rapunzel's hair. As he cut, the hair turned brunette. When he finished, Rapunzel had really short hair, only about 3-4 inches long. When the hair was completely changed to normal, Gothel was turned to dust. Eugene fell back on a banister, layed her head on Eugene's chest, and cried her heart out. She began singing between weeps.

Flower, gleam and glow. Let your power shine.

Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine.

What once, was mine.

When she finished, a single tear dropped on Eugene's chest. Suddenly, something miraculous happened. Eugene's chest began glowing golden. When the light dimmed, Eugene coughed.

Eugene: "You know, I always prefered brunettes, anyway."

Rapunzel cried more, except this time for group rode back to the capital city, and when Eugene and Rapunzel tried to head into the castle, a guard stopped them. Then Rapunzel told the guard that she was the lost princess, which surprised everyone else. After a good stare, the guard became shocked and excited at the same time, and beckoned that they all come into the castle.
