A/N: So, you all finally get to see who I really am in this story. I can only imagine how long you guys have been waiting for this moment to happen. Fair warning: Things are about to get...pretty dark.

World: Castle Oblivion

It was a hard decision to make, but I have decided to put an end to this...Voidful Mind.

I walk through the hallway of the first floor in Castle Oblivion. I now stand in front of the door. I take out the card Naminé gave me and look down at it. Her words echo in my head:

'There is no telling how powerful it is. But if you lose, the Voidful Mind will not only destroy your memories, but also your heart.'

I take a deep breath. I drop my hand, still holding onto the card, then I grab hold of the Wayfinder with my other hand. "Terra. Ventus...Aqua. You were always there for me in my time of need...especially you, Aqua. My mother...Please, just help me out one more time. Lend me strength to conquer the darkness inside me."

I now look at the door, with bravery, then I raise the card. The door opens and then I step right into the light.

The door closes behind me. So far, there is nothing but light, then it all turns into darkness. The Darkness, this must be the inside of the Voidful Mind. After a moment, the darkness starts to clear.

Right now, I'm in a middle of some town village. It's nothing like I've ever visited. It's almost a mix of the small village in Ville De Roses and the building towns of Radiant Garden.

This world is known as Kingdom of Hearts.

This village barely feels familiar to me. As I wonder, two villagers are chatting as I walk past them.

"You going to the kingdom?" The one villager asks.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to miss the birth of the LeiShen prince." The second one says.

I watch the villagers. "LeiShen prince?" I ask, then I follow them.

The road wasn't very long, but I followed them all the way to the kingdom. I'm surprised, the kingdom is the exact same one I saw in my dream. The one Aqua, Terra and Ven entered. I just stop in front of the gates. I still remember how there was some barrier that prevents only me from entering.

I take a big step, pass the gates. Nothing happens. With that, I continue moving onward.

After crossing the bridge, I get in the line of crowds that are heading into the castle. After a while, I'm finally inside. I'm amazed at the sight of the Foyer. The inside reminds me of the castle in the Land of Departure. "This is amazing." I say.

The castle is large, but the Audience Chamber wasn't too difficult to find. The place is crowded. I make my way through the crowd all the way to the thrones. When I finally made it, there I see two people, the king and queen by the looks.

The king has red hair with a short beard and is in full on plate armor in blue, gold and white. The only thing exposed is his head. The queen is a short brunette in an elegant pink dress with red roses designed on the top. What I'm surprised is that King Mickey and Minnie are also here, then again, I do remember Minnie telling me they visited the LeiShen's once.

In the cradle lays their child, the LeiShen king and queen that is. I look curiously at the cradle. There's a baby sleeping in there. Strangely, he looks very familiar. That's when I have a horrible realization. I gasp, mouth covered and step back.

"T-that...baby...Is..." I look back in the cradle. "Is that...me?"

"Sire. I would like to bestow my gift to your child." I turn to see Mickey walking up to the cradle. He summons his Keyblade, the tip of it glows in holy light, then gives a gentle tap on the baby. "The gift of the light. Whenever he is in trouble by the darkness, the light will guide him to the light of another, one who will protect him from the forces of evil."

I see that King Mickey has given me a gift. "That's very generous, your highness." The king says.

As the party goes on, the chamber doors burst open. Everyone stops to see what is going on. LeiShen banners, which is the same symbol was the Keyblade from the card and the flags in the dream, head towards this direction. The citizens clears the way to reveal Rasputin in chains surrounded by several guards. I look at Rasputin curiously, I remember him from the dream, the man that dragged me into the darkness before Kairi, who I believe is really Naminé in disguise, saved me at the last minute.

"Sire! We have found the foe of darkness that was disturbing our holy ground." The knight says.

The king approaches before Rasputin. "Rasputin...my most trusted high priest. How could you?"

I look at Rasputin. "So...this is Rasputin."

Rasputin looks at the king. "It is simple. Darkness is the true essence of everything. It is the source of all power. Kingdom Hearts belongs to the darkness!"

"Enough of this nonsense!" The king summons his Keyblade, Royal Heart: Which is a long Keyblade that's a similar model of the Ultima Weapon (the Kingdom Hearts 1 model) "You have left me with no choice but to banish you!"

The king channels holy chains. They wound around Rasputin and tightens. A flash of light happens, and that's when Rasputin disappears. I can only imagine what happened to him.

Visiting my lost memories goes on for a while. Exploring my birth world is pretty exhilarating. Getting to see my people, my family. For some strange reason, I start seeing my birth mother more like Aqua. I never understand why, but I guess it's possible she's more like a mother to me cause I've known her in my life, while I barely even know my real mother.

What I did learn is that, in the gardens, there is a cherry blossom tree that's my favorite. That's when I realize the migraine I had in Land of Dragons. It's cause the blossom tree was apart of my old life in this world.

I wonder through my memory train until I reach to my fifth year. Interesting fact I learn is that October 9th really is my birthday.

There's a big party celebrating my birthday. Being in royalty sure makes things so festive. Makes me wonder what King Mickey does for parties and such.

Everything was going very well, until a dark twist happens. People starts screaming in horror as the shadows starts darkening the room, starting from the entrance. When it reaches to the thrones, what was revealed is Rasputin. He looks the same, but the only difference is that he's wearing some necklace with a charm that looks like the shadow eye that serves as the keychain on Xehanort's Keyblade.

My young-self huddles with the queen. "Mommy. I'm scared."

"Don't worry, sweetie. Your daddy has this under control." The queen says.

This will be interesting to watch. The king approaches Rasputin. "What is the meaning of this?" The king asks.

"You think you can banish me, you are sadly mistaken!" Rasputin says.

"You are no longer welcome here, Rasputin! You have betrayed us!" The king says, summoning his Keyblade and taking out his shield. His shield is in the shape of the cross, and on it are two Kingdom Key Keyblades designed to form the cross on the shield.

"That is where you are wrong, 'your highness'. You will rue the day you've turned against me! I will see to it the LeiShen's will meet their end!" Rasputin summons his Keyblade, the Chaos Ripper. Everyone gasps at the sight of that, even the king is shocked.

"Rasputin...you...You can wield a Keyblade?" The king says.

"Being in the dark has given me many gifts. Such as this!" The tip of Rasputin's Keyblade pulses with dark energy. He shoots a beam of darkness in the air.

A large orb of darkness appears in the center of the ceiling. When it clears, it reveals a large crystal heart of energy. The moment I saw it, I gasped. "The Heart of Atlantis!" I say.

Rasputin casts dark chains. They circle around the king and holds him together. Rasputin does dark magic on the king. the power drains the king, up until he's reduced to nothing more then a Shadow Heartless. Everyone screams in terror seeing that, even the queen and I are terrified.

"Now I BANISH YOU!" Chains of darkness surrounds the Shadow then it sinkens into the darkness.

The day goes around. I enter up seeing everything in the courtyard and the village. Buildings are burning, the Heart of Atlantis shooting powerful beams all over the world. The beams that hit causes everything to turn to crystal, or causes the ground to shake and crystals raise out of the fissures.

I am terrified at the very sight of Rasputin's assault here. Everything is exactly as I remembered seeing in a nightmare I had back in the Land of Departure.

Heartless attacking.

Citizens captured or panicking.

The LeiShen warriors either turning to Heartless or being banished into the darkness.

Everything Rasputin is during in this hour of darkness, it was completely utterly without a doubt horrible. And I was too weak and powerless to do anything to prevent it.

The worst part was seeing me losing my parents. My dad turning into a Heartless and my mother dying in the hands of Rasputin.

All that remains of this world is a small island, float right underneath the large dome of darkness. Much similar to what happened to Destiny Islands back when Sora received the Keyblade. My young self is running for his life. Err, my life. Up to the point when darkness appears underneath me and the dark vines hold me in place.

Rasputin walks towards me from behind. "My sweet child. How does it feel being the last LeiShen in existence?"

"Let me go! Please!" My young self says in fear.

"You miss your mommy and daddy?" Rasputin says, doing a child's tone in mockery. Okay, I'm trying to hate this guy. "Well, you're about to join them where you're going!"

Rasputin channels dark magic on my young self. Seeing this makes it feel like it's happening to the real me right now. The darkness coats my young self, until I lost conscious. Rasputin smiles in delight.

"Yes! Yes! YES!" Just when he has me, that's when the darkness appears underneath him. The dark vines grabs him and starts pulling him down. Rasputin starts panicking. "No! NO! Not yet!" I'm confused. Just what is going on here. "Just a little more time! Please! I'm almost there!"

Next thing I know, Rasputin is completely submerged, and his power over me was interrupted. However, the darkness he left on me surges around the younger me and implants itself into my head. I'm guessing that's how the Voidful Mind happened.

My young self lays in the middle of what remains of this world, unconscious, until I get caught in the current of the darkness and it swallows me whole.

I stand in the center, looking up into the large darkness. I still can't believe this, all of this, is happening.

"I...I am...the last LeiShen?" Just then, I start getting a migraine, the worst of them all. I fall on my knees as the dark aura reveals itself on me from head to shoulders. I shout in agony and the darkness that surrounds me exiles from my eyes and mouth.

The darkness gathers at the edge of the island in front of me. When it's out of my system, I collapse. The darkness forms into a large swirl on the ground. I start regaining my strength. I look ahead to see the darkness on the ground. A large arm reaches out, then the other arm and then the head. I get on my feet and step back as the dark creature raises out.

It's a Heartless, but it's not just any ordinary Heartless. It's Darkside, only it's body is in multi-colored linings. It's much more like Sora's Heartless from the Datascape then the Darkside. But it also has shackles on its left wrist and both ankles, and chains wrapped around it's right arm.

It's the Voidful Mind.

I summon my Keyblade, taking my position to fight. I focus on gathering the cards for a Sleight. Meanwhile, the Voidful Mind starts its attack by punching the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. I gather a Dusk 4, two 5 attack, 9 attack and a 1 attack. Shadow Dash. I make my dark rush attacks on the fist that's on the ground. After Shadow Dash, I continue attacking. After about seven hits, Voidful Mind retreats is hand.

While the hands are unreachable, I do some spell Sleights, mainly fire, dusk and thunder spells. Voidful Main tries attacking but my cards are too strong for it to break with it's solo card drawing. For another Sleight, I gather a Quasimodo 8, Quasimodo 5 and a Quasimodo 9.

Saint De Bell.

I channel the Holy Bell, as it rings right on the Voidful Mind's head. When Saint De Bell ends, Voidful Mind makes its attack by creating a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles. I focus to make a sleight, during that process, I get hit by two of the missiles. I gather a Lightning 9, Thunder 1, Attack 5, Attack 7 and Attack 3. With that, I do Thunder Blade.

A massive large sword, longer then my height, appears in my hands, enhanced with electricity. I do a swirl as I jump. After two spins, I throw the Thunder Blade in front of me. Once it's pierced on the ground underneath the Voidful Mind, it unleashes a large dome of electricity.

The Voidful Mind is defeated.

The giant creature starts dissolving. I only stand in place, positioned to attack. The Heartless melts until it's nothing more then a large puddle of darkness. I look cautious, yet confused. "That was...surprisingly easy."

I stand in place, just looking at the black puddle. Just then, it gives a single bubble. I was on alert, then two more happens. The world starts shaking, then a chant echoes all around.

'MEMORIES!'

The puddle bubbles rapidly.

'THEY FUEL MY HUNGER! MY STRENGTH!'

I look all around, on high alert. I just know this isn't over.

'SOON! I WILL FEAST ON THE HEART!'

I turn my attention back to the dark puddle hearing that. A bubble grows instead of popping. It floats off the ground, and the puddle disappears as well. The bubble is about my size, then it starts morphing into a body form.

It transforms into me.

The Voidful Mind is me, but my hands are the Darkside's claws and arms coated in darkness. So are the legs. The shackles and chains remain the same as it was from it's prevous form. The Voidful Mind faces me and opens its red eyes.

"Holy...Cheese." I say.

The Voidful Mind summons its Keyblade: Forsaken. It's a black, purple and red color with a Castle Oblivion Card for the blade tip and keychain. The Voidful Mind takes it's position, which is similar to mine.

I start off with a couple of attacks. During the third strike, the Voidful Mind breaks my card with a number 8, and it strikes at me with it's dark hits. I dodge roll away and then focus a Sleight. The Voidful Mind focuses on one of its own as well. I do a Dusk 6, Spark 1 and Attack 4. Star Surge.

I make the hits on the monster, but before I give the final blow, it breaks my attack with it's 24 Blade Storm. It throws its Keyblade in the air, then floats and unleash powerful energy, then tons of Keyblades rain down from the sky. I just dodge roll until I was able to break this ability with a 0 attack. I focus on a Sleight. Terra 2, Quake 9 and Attack 6. Geo Impact. I give a single, heavy upper strike, causing a boulder to raise from the strike.

Voidful Mind does its attacks on me, while it does, it does a Sleight. 13 Chains of Woe. Dark chains come at me everywhere, holds me in place. Voidful Mind channels black magic and unleashes dark homing missiles at me, ten times more then it does in Darkside form. When that's over, I heal myself with 19 Curaga. Then I gather a Terra 7, Terra 5 and then a Magic 9. Meteor.

I summon a single meteor, coming down towards the Voidful Mind. The Voidful Mind attacks me, I counter attack with a few attacks. Then I gather a Ventus 0, Thunder 4 and Aero 9. Lightning Nova. The Voidful Mind didn't take the rapid electric strikes well, or the thunder blast in the end.

The Voidful Mind stands in place, looking exhausted. I yell as I charge towards it. I leap, as I do, it gets its second wind and blasts its Chains of Woe at me.

I'm held in place, but the Voidful Mind doesn't unleash its dark missiles. Instead, it slowly approaches me.

'YOUR HEART IS WEAK!'

The Voidful Mind stands, glaring down in front of me. I struggle to break free, but the chains are too strong.

'YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH BEHIND YOUR LOST MEMORIES!'

Voidful Mind grabs my shoulders, it opens it house, exhaling dark mists into my mouth. During that sends extreme pain all over my body.

'THE DARKNESS IN YOUR MIND WILL DESTROY YOU!'

I realize what it's doing. The Voidful Mind is trying to destroy my memories, then my heart. Just like Naminé warned me. With my free hand, free from holding the Keyblade that is, I use all my remaining power to summon a Ruinga in my hands, then I launch it at the Voidful Mind.

The explosion knocks the dark creature back. I collapse on my knees from being released from the attack. Normally I just collapse on my full body, but the chains prevent me from doing so. It takes a while for me to recover my strength, then I use it to cast a Quakja. It breaks the chains that binds me.

I weakly get back on my feet, looking straight at the Voidful Mind. It's getting up, already on its feet. I charge at it in a burst of speed, giving it a swift strike.

The Voidful Mind stands frozen in place from the blow, then it overrides, dark lightning coursing through it and it's body cracking with dark beams bursting out of it, then it explodes.

I have also learned a new Command Style: Elemental Mastery.

I've done it. I destroyed the Voidful Mind. The second it's gone, I have regain my memories. I now remember everything I have seen.

I am Patrick. The Prince of the LeiShen's...no, I'm the last LeiShen.

The scenery suddenly changed. I'm right now in the middle of the lanes in between. I wonder why I am, was I teleported out of Castle Oblivion? No. I'm still inside my memories, cause right in front of me is the world of Kingdom of Hearts. The world is covered in darkness until it is complete engulfed.

I'm disappointed to see this, seeing my home being destroyed by the dark. I'm caught by surprise to see a small glimmer of light in the massive darkness. Like a shooting star, it bursts right out of it, at my direction.

Instantly, I get a glimpse of what the shooting star was. It's me as a child. I stare at it until it's out of sight. I wonder if this was Mickey's gift. The light that's going to send me to the light of another.

The scenery changes once again. Now I'm in a middle of the forest in the Land of Departure. I look up in the sky to see a shooting star in the middle of the day. I know it's really me. My young self splashes into the river, then after a moment, I surface on the water, still unconscious. My body lays on a log, which is what's preventing me from sinking.

I only follow myself for a minute, then that's when Aqua shows up. She runs into the river, checking me. "You're alive." then she carries me and leaves.

This must be where I'm all caught up to where I've met Aqua.

That is everything the card can show me.

I now leave Castle Oblivion, right out of the doors with the expression of terror and sweet. After about five feet, I collapse on my knees, gasping and sweeting with my hands over my ears.

I am overwhelming in anxiety. I'm a complete mess. Everything I just saw: My past, my family, my home. It's all taken away, by some monster. After sixteen long years, all I've ever done is forgotten it all. Why did I have to forget it all? I know why cause of the Voidful Mind, but WHY?

'I have discovered something about you, who you really are'

Aqua's voice echoes in my head. Hearing that shocks me like I was hit by a bus. "She...she knew. She knew what happened, didn't she?" I move my arms, crossing them in front of my chest. "But...how did...she know? Unless..."

'My dear old friend Yen Sid...He still keeps a close eye on the tides of light and darkness.'

I remember Eraqus saying that before Aqua and Terra had left. I gasp, realizing what that could mean. "The master!"

I get back on my feet and run down the path. Yen Sid has some answers, I know it.
