A/N: The last chapter was pretty sad, wasn't it? Wouldn't you feel that way after hearing someone close to you after fifteen long years? That chapter was similar to an episode of "Sword Art Online". Now we move on to see a dark secret to be revealed.

World: Keyblade graveyard

Last night was a rough night for me. I couldn't get any sleep as I thought about Aqua's request. Look after Terra and Ventus. How can that be?

Ventus fell into some kind of eternal slumber. His heart is asleep and it's out there...somewhere. It's been fifteen years since he's been asleep, there's no way he'll ever awake.

Terra fell into quite a mixture fate. First he got possessed by Xehanort then feel into darkness before Aqua did. Then years later, he returned and attacked Radiant Garden, turning the world into Hollow Bastion. This power against the world consumed him and made him into a Heartless named Ansem, and then a Nobody named Xemnas. When Sora and his friends defeated Terra in both ways, Terra got put back together a few months back in Ansem's Study in Radiant Garden, but still's the dark Xehanort.

He's now on the lose somewhere, only I don't know where. But I don't have time to bother.

There's no way I can fulfill Aqua's wishes to keep her friends safe.

I ride on my Hoverbike to go to the one world I need to visit: The Keyblade Graveyard. I arrive at the Seat of War area. I walk up to the edge of the cliff, looking at the view of this barren wasteland.

This is the world where my friends have fallen. Even though Aqua fell in Radiant Garden, she's still apart of the fallen in this world.

I hold my hand out, summoned a Keyblade, looking at it. "I will not fall..." Is all I say, then the Keyblade vanishes, and I move on towards the Twister Trench.

The Twister Trench is crawling with Unversed: Flood, Sonic Blaster, Bruiser and Buckle Bruiser. I summon my Keyblade and take on the Unversed. I do a couple of strikes, then attack with Wishing Edge, striking Unversed in a jumping attacking with my Keyblade. Half of the Floods and a Brusier falls. The other Unversed attacks me. When I get the chance to strike back, I use an Aero spell, causing a gust of wind to suck in few enemies and blow them off.

Power surges through me and I enter Star Surge Command. My body and Keyblade becomes coated in twilight energy. I strike multiple and swift at the Unversed. Most of the Unversed barely had a change to strike back at me. A Buckle Brusier was able to strike me by throwing it's disk hands.

I use Cure to restore my health, then I cast Dusk, casting a dark mist ball, at the Buckle Bruiser, ending it. There are now five Unversed standing. I reach to my full power in Star Surge, then I unleash it. I strike rapidly and hard with light and dark twilight energy. Then I jump and impale my Keyblade on the ground, unleashing a ring nova of twilight energy, finishing off the Unversed around me.

With the Unversed defeated, my Keyblade vanishes. "What are the Unversed doing here?" I ask.

I don't bother waiting around for an answer. I move on ahead. I face and defeat the Unversed on the other side of the Twister Trench. The second group of these creatures weren't as tough as the previous one. How sad.

After defating the Unversed, I arrive at the Fissure. There isn't really much in this area, but I do take the tunnel path, at the end, I arrive at Crossroads of Destiny. This is the very spot where Ventus, Aqua and Terra made their encounterment with Xehanort, where their Destinies changed.

I walk on the single path passing by the field of Keyblades, until I arrive in the middle of the crossroads. I look down, putting my fingers on the Wayfinder.

"Aqua...I just wish I could have saved you and your friends...Why did I have to be so helpless back then?" I asked.

I just waited for a moment, like I was waiting for some kind of answer. But after a moment, I continue on. As I moved to the middle path ahead, a faded dark mist appears, then it vanishes. Someone is following me.

I arrive in Wasteful Bridge, which is a cliffy bridge path over a large pit. I run down the path, as I do, Unversed appeared. Red Hot Chili, Monotrucker, Archraven. I take out the flying Unversed first. Striking at them, casting a Fire spell, on the Archraven's of course.

The Red Hot Chili's shoot firebolts at me. I got hit by two of them, but dodge rolled the last one. I cast Zero Gravity, unleashing dark pulse of energy causing the Unversed caught in it to float helplessly in the air. I then entered Spell Weaver Command and start attacking the Unversed weaving my Keyblade at them with arcane magic. Half of the Unversed died and the Zero Gravity effect on the rest wore off.

Monotrucker's get back on their feet and attacked me. I guard most of the attacks, then cast Dusk as them. I reach to my full power and unleash Spell Weaver, raising my Keyblade in the air and spinning around in a wave of arcane energy.

The Unversed become defeated and I move on ahead. I come to a U turn point at the path and make the turn, entering the upward trench ahead.

I arrive in the Badlands. I start talking ahead on the large wide open field. By the cliff up ahead, there's a shrine. I make my way towards it. As I do, an eerie voice echoes, pretty faint.

"LeiShen. LeiShen. LeiShen."

I stop in the middle of the Badlands, looking around wondering where that come from. "Lei...Shen?" I asked. Only once have I ever heard that word, before I got pulled into the darkness.

"Last one. Last one. Last one."

'Last one'...That's right. "The last one." I say, looking down a bit confused. That's when I remember the one sentence I heard back in Radiant Garden, after Aqua's battle with Terra-Xehanort. "I will see to it that the last of the LeiShen's...will die."

"You cannot escape. Escape. Escape." The voice say.

I hold my head up, looking around. "Who's there?" I ask, voice loud. There was no answer, only the sounds of the winds blowing. I stand in wait for a minute, then I just move on ahead, cautious from behind at first, then dropped it.

I arrive at the shrine of ahead. I stand in front of the partly rusted Keyblade that Aqua once wielded: Stormfall. The blade is impaled on the ground, surrounded by lit candles. The candle are special, they never melt or get blown. Like magic. A picture frame lies against in front of the Keyblade. A picture of my younger-self and Aqua.

I look down at the Keyblade. "You want me to live on...do you?" I asked. "Become your living legacy." I fall silent for a moment. "What am I destined for? Who am I to protect? I no longer have you...And Ventus and Terra are long gone as well." I drop on my knees. "Why can't I remember anything? What was my world!? Who are my family!?" I slam my fists on the ground in frustration.

I'm having a very rough time. I need Aqua for answers, but now she's gone. "I just...want you to come back, Aqua..."

"How interesting for you to hold on to your feelings after all these years." I become on alert hearing that. That voice is coming right behind me.

I quickly get on my feet, turn around on alert. There's a boy who looks like Sora, but with dark hair and in Riku's heartless uniform, only it's black and red with an Unversed symbol on it. Vanitas.

"Who are you? ...Were you following me?" I asked.

Vanitas chuckles. "I am Vantias, Unversed commander of the Shadowmoon."

"The...Shadowmoon?" I asked confused.

"That's nothing you need to know. A bigger question would be is why are you talking to such a pathetic weapon?" Vanitas asks.

"That's nothing you need to know!" I shot back at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here for you." Vanitas says. "I heard you were looking for a friend."

"Not anymore." I look down in sorrow. "She's...gone."

Vanitas chuckles. "Man, you're just as dumb as Ventus aren't you?" I look at Vanitas, offended. "If that's what you really think, then I think." Vanitas raises a hand next to his head, snapping his fingers. "I should shed some light."

A dark portal appears right in between us. I look down at it, curious but cautious compared to what happened the last time the dark portal. At first, there's nothing but darkness, then a vision appears in that portal.

It's Aqua in the Realm of Darkness. She still looks the same and is still wearing the same outfit, only her stockings are torn, the left one cut off so it only goes up to her lower leg, and the right one have large holes. Her bell-sleeves, which is only wearing one on her right arm while the other one is gone are torn as well, the striped cloths that were tied around her waist are gone as well, but there is a small line piece of the cloth hanging from her left waist. On her face are some dirty and small cuts on her exposed arms and legs.

Aqua's breathing heavily, in her fighting position with her masters Keyblade at hand. She is now surrounded by the giant Heartless, Darkside's. Aqua is near at her last stand, but even at her limits, she's still standing strong and proud.

I gasp breathlessly, eyes wide open seeing this. "You're alive." I whispered.

A Darkside raised its arm in the air. Aqua dodges out of the way before it's arm smashes her. Another darkside makes its strike on her, but Aqua managed to jump back just as soon as she was done dodge rolling.

As Aqua jumps back, she casts a Mega Flare, her Keyblade engulfed in flames and unleashes a massive fire bomb at one of the Darksides, destroying it.

Aqua lands on the ground. As soon as she does, a Darkside slam its fist at her, knocking her back. Aqua crashes and rolls back, then stops.

"NO!" I shout as I try to jump in, only the dark portal disappears as soon as my hands and knees are on it. I gasp and look at the ground in horror. Seeing the dark portal vanished made me feel like I'm losing Aqua all over again.

"I see, so you really do care for her. Just enough to attempt to jump into the darkness to save her." Vanitas says.

I look down, my hands and arms shake with rage, then I look up at Vantias. "What...have you done to her!?" I ask.

"I have done anything. This is my lord's doing. He's just playing with his little toy until it breaks." Vanitas says.

Hearing that made my heart ache. They're treating Aqua like a toy and they're throwing Heartless at her until she dies from exhaustion. I look down, trying to fight the fear and sorrow, then it all turns into anger.

"You...you..." My arms shake, then the Keyblade appears in my hand. I get on my feet and charge at Vanitas. "YOU BASTARD!" I make the strike, but as soon as I do, Vanitas vanishes. I stagger a little from the miss but quickly regain it. Vanitas appears a few feet in front of me with that evil smile on his face. I take my fighting position. "I'm gonna rip you to pieces!" I say angrily.

Vanitas summons his Keyblade, making his fighting position. "That's right. Give in to your anger."

Vanitas summoned a wind current of Keyblades. The current soars close to him and jumps on it, riding the current like a surf board. As he rides, she shoots dark fires at me. I run around, avoiding the fires until he's done.

After a minute, Vanitas jumps down and charges towards me. I make a few strikes on him, then cast Ruin at him. Shooting a black orb coated in light magic at him. Vanitas jumps in the air, spins as he unleashes a wave of shadow lightning at me.

I strike at Vanitas, then entered Critical Impact. I start striking at Vanitas with hard brutal strikes, that even caused Vanitas to stagger. Vanitas strikes at me twice, then for his third strike, he strikes upward and unleashed a dark cut beam at me. I cast Cure to heal my health then do Wishing Edge.

Halfway through the battle, me and Vanitas charges at each other and strike with her Keyblades clashing. We're now face to face. Vanitas chuckles. "You're more skilled then I expected. And I thought this we going to be a boring fight."

"Shut up!" I say, making a strike that retreats Vanitas's Keyblade. I strike at Vanitas twice, both of them dodge, then Vanitas parries my third one. I'm about to make another strike, but Vanitas kicks me in the stomach, staggering me, then strikes me with his Keyblade, knocking me back.

I lay on the ground, out of strength. "You are a fool. I'm an Unversed. I feed on negativity. Your anger gives me strength." Vanitas casts a dark spell, it coats me and lifts me off the ground. I float in the air as the darkness crushes me. "You cannot escape from him. My lord will destroy you."

I grunt and struggle as I try to fight the pain Vanitas is giving me. Vanitas chuckles in amusement. Just then a large beam of light implants in between us. Vanitas was surprised and a flash of light blasts him back.

The darkness escapes from me and I collapse on the ground. I lay to recover my strength. "Are you okay?"

I look up to see Mickey in front of me. I give a single nod. "Yeah."

I get back on my feet, looking at Vanitas. Vanitas gets on his feet, looking at me and Mickey, then mostly Mickey. "You again?" Vanitas summons his Keyblade. "You've interfered in my plans for the last time, rodent!"

Mickey summons his Keyblade, the Kingdom Key D. We both take our positions to fight. I charge at Vantias, making the brutal strikes while Mickey casts Pearl, shooting an orb of light at Vantias.

Vanitas strikes at me twice then a third time with a dark cut beam. Mickey strikes at Vanitas, I strike at Vanitas, then unleash my power of Critical Impact. Jump and smash my Keyblade hard on Vanitas. Vanitas jumps and waves shadow lightning at us.

I cast Dusk at Vanitas and strikes at him. Mickey strikes as well, then we both worked together and do Shimmering Light. Stand back to back, spinning around unleashing pulses of light.

Vanitas was defeated. He falls on one knee and foot, hanging on to his Keyblade for support. Me and Mickey just stand beside, watching and waiting for Vanitas make his next move. Vanitas looks at us and grunts.

"This isn't over." Vanitas gets on his feet. A dark portal appears. Me and Mickey are on alert. Vanitas slowly backs away into the portal. "Beware my friends...Rasputin is always watching."

Vanitas vanishes in the portal and the portal vanishes as well. Me and Mickey lets our guard down. I turn to Mickey. "Thanks for the save. I owe you one."

Mickey looks up at me with a smile. "Don't worry about it. That's what pals are for."

I give a single nod. "Would you mind telling me how you knew I was here?"

"Well, I spotted you in the World and you were heading to this place. So I decided to follow along." Mickey says. "I mean, I know this place very well and I thought you could use the help."

At first, I feel awkward cause I was being followed, then what Mickey said kind of made sense. "You got me there."

We stand in silence for a moment, then I start walking towards the shrine. Mickey just stands back watching me. I walk up the small cliff until I'm standing in front of the Stormfall.

"All these years, I thought you were dead." I say to the Keyblade. "But I see you're still trapped in that darkness. Fighting. Struggling." I place my fingers on the Wayfinder and close my eyes. After a few seconds, I look back at the Keyblade. "I swear, if it's the last thing I'll ever do. I will find you, and I'll bring you home...See you later." I slowly turn until my back is facing the old Keyblade. "Mother."

I slowly walk away from the Keyblade, not even looking back.

In the Realm of Darkness, Aqua is fighting off a Defender Heartless. The Defender strikes Aqua with its shield, but Aqua jumps over it, avoiding the attack. She lands behind it and does a few swift strikes at it.

On the top, Vanitas and three other men are watching Aqua down below. One man in a black robe with purple feathery hair who commands the Heartless. Izu. A female with long pink hair with a red strip in front who commands the Nobodies. Zaela.

And lastly, a man in a brown robe with a sash. Bald on the top while still having black hair on the sides and back of his head and a very long beard and crooked teeth. On the center of his robe is a purple moon with a Y in the middle made out of the symbols of the Unversed, Nobodies and Heartless. Nobody symbol on the left top line, Heartless symbol on the right top line and an Unversed symbol on the bottom line.

Rasputin.

"She fights bravely." Zaela says.

"She is young. overconfident. Foolish." Izu says.

The Defender turns, but Aqua casts Zero Gravija (Level 5 Zero Gravity), sending the Defender up in the air, then she casts a Firaga spell at it, destroying it. Now she's out of combat. She takes a moment to catch her breath, then collapses on her knees.

"Don't take any chances with her, lord Rasputin." Vanitas says. "We should destroy her quickly."

Rasputin strokes his beard. "For fifteen years, she's fought and fought and fought. Not once did she break down in exhaustion. Perhaps I have been underestimated her."

Rasputin raises a hand and snaps his fingers. Countless Darkballs and Angel Stars come out of nowhere. Aqua looks all around her and grunts in disappointment. "Can't I get five minutes without fighting?" She roughly gets back on her feet and continues fighting the heartless.
