A/N: All is revealed, maybe not all. I'm sure there's still a few you might wonder. Let's move on to the next chapter, where my rescue with Aqua begins...or does it? How about we find out? And why am I talking to a computer?

Worlds: Mysterious Tower/Radiant Garden

Yen Sid sits upon his seat in front of his desk, concentrating. While he's focusing, that's when I arrive on the courtyard of the tower. I come to Yen Sid for answers about my past. If anyone knows anything about the Shadowmoon Invasion upon Kingdom of Hearts, he does.

I make my way up the tower, until I enter Yen Sid's chambers. Upon my arrive, I stand straight with respect.

"Master Yen Sid." I say.

Yen Sid opens his eyes. "Ah. Patrick. My master pupil. How are things going?"

I arrive Yen Sid. "Fine, master. Listen..."

Yen Sid raises a hand telling me to stop talking. "I know why you are here. It's about your past, isn't it?"

I'm a bit surprised to hear that. "You knew?"

"Of course. The stars have told me." Yen Sid says. "Out of nowhere, Naminé's star returned, and at the same time, yours was shining brightly as hers. Then when her star has blinked out, yours was still very bright. The stars have told me that you went to Castle Oblivion under Naminé's instruction." I look down in shame, I should have realized he would have known all that. "I trust you have regain your memories?"

"I have, master...It's just, why didn't you tell me?" I ask.

"At first, I didn't know. When Eraqus told me about you being found, the stars couldn't verify who you were. But, then when the stars told me about what happened to the LeiShen's. They have all fallen, all but one. With the time of the end of the LeiShen's to the time of your arrival, I was able to put the pieces of the puzzle together." Yen Sid says.

"Is that way you trained me, cause you know I was a LeiShen?" I ask.

"Indeed. With all the other masters gone, I had to step up and take charge." Yen Sid says. "Sure, you could have been a self-taught like Sora and Riku, but what you need is guidance and mastery. If word got around that you were the LeiShen, trouble would have come."

I want to say 'You were too late on that' cause that kind of trouble is what took Aqua away. "Yes I...suppose you're right, master." I say. "There's something I want to know."

"And what is that?" Yen Sid asks.

"If I was the last LeiShen the whole time, how come the Shadowmoon haven't been coming for me? I mean, why after all these years did they start coming after me?" I ask.

Yen Sid closes his eyes. "Hmm...I believe that this is Aqua's doing."

I am surprised to hear that. "Aqua? ...How?"

"When the darkness dragged her in, she was taken to the Shadowmoon. Rasputin demanded Aqua to hand over the LeiShen, in return he'll set her free so she can help Ventus and Terra. But she refused. Rasputin saw her protection over you as an act a treason. Aqua fought with all of her might in the darkness, to hold off the Shadowmoon." I am speechless to hear that. "Fifteen years later, she has begun to reach her limits. The power she once had to fight the darkness and hold off the Shadowmoon is now only used for her own survival."

I slam my hands on the table. "Rasputin!" I look directly at Yen Sid. "Just what the hell is the deal with him?"

"He is lost. Rasputin is a wise man, but he lacks compassion. He lusts for power and he'll do anything to have it, no matter the consequences of himself or others. He choose the path of darkness believing it was stronger then the light, and because of that he received banishment." That I believe. "Outraged, he hungers for vengeance against the LeiShen's. Xehanort found him in the darkness and told him about a dark power he can possess."

Yen Sid does some magic, in a puff of cloud, an image of the necklace appears on the table. "The Eye of Chaos. A powerful trinket that grants its wearer unimaginable power. Rasputin sold his soul for this trinket. It is his very life essence."

"So, I destroy that necklace, and he's as good as dead?" I ask.

"Correct." The image of the necklace disappears. Yen Sid looks out the window. "Aqua's star is still shining, but it's fading, soon be to blinked out." Hearing that saddens me. Yen Sid returns his attention to me. "You know now what you must do?"

I nod. "Yes, master. I will save Aqua then I'll put an end to Rasputin."

Yen Sid smiles. "Yes. Now go, and fulfill your destiny...Master Patrick."

I nod then make my leave. When I'm gone, Yen Sid stands, walking to the window looking at the stars. "Aqua...do not worry. Your prayers will be answered."

Now I ride my Hoverbike in the lanes between. I wonder how it is I'm going to rescue Aqua from the Realm of Darkness. I can barely find a way to enter the darkness. There use to be an obvious one, but Sora and Mickey locked the door after defeating Xehanort's Heartless.

As I ride, I am driven close to Radiant Garden. To my surprise, the world is covered in darkness. "What? What's happening to Radiant Garden?"

Without any further hesitation, I ride my way towards the world. Something bad is happening.

I arrive at Radiant Garden, I ride in the skies, shocked at the very sight of this peaceful city. I shouldn't call it peaceful anymore. Everywhere, they are Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed invading the city. Dark portals in different locations, dozens of the monsters coming out in every second.

"No!" I whisper.

I arrive in the Borough area, I notice Serah is in trouble. Cornered by Heartless. The Soldiers makes a strike, Serah cowers. Just before they made contact to Serah, that's when I slam on the ground, unleashing a Quakeja. As they're knocked in the air, I do Transcendence. Unleash a Zero Gravity spell, the whole thing turns into a zero gravitational field and I command all the Heartless trapped within to be bounded around until they're destroyed.

Serah waits for the attack from the Heartless. After waiting too long, she looks to see me instead of the Heartless. "Big brother!" I turn only to be embraced by Serah's arms in a tight hug. "I'm so glad you came back! I thought I was a goner!"

"You're welcome." I push Serah off of me. "Just what the heck is going on?"

"We don't know, the forces of the darkness started attacking our world." Serah looks over me and screams. I turn to see Magicians and Songstresses on the roof of a building. They attack us by throwing cards and sound waves. Serah huddles behind me while I block with Holy Shield. When they cease fire, I counterattack with a Spark Raid. When my Keyblade hits one, it splits and takes out the other Nobodies nearby.

Serah starts pulling on my arm. "Leon called an emergency meeting! Quick! To Ansem's Study!"

Serah and I hurry over to the castle while the Heartless, Unversed and Nobodies are chasing after us. Serah stays close to me while I do all the fighting. Whenever Serah's in danger, I rush over and protect her. The towns defense system is also being a help, but not too much.

We arrive at the Bailey, only we stop to get a view at the outside walls. Countless Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed marching towards the city. "Whoa...Look at that!"

"It's the Heartless War all over again." I say. We both look down, seeing all of them coming into the city through the new entrance. "Good thing we made that new entry there. Wouldn't want another explosion like last time."

We're not gonna get to the castle with the large army of dark forces. I land in the middle of the lane, blowing an Aeroza to knock them back, then I start channeling my power. The Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed come after me, then I blast a Stopza wave in front of me, freezing all of them in time.

"Come on!" Serah hurries towards me, then we run up the Restoration Site.

I take on the Armored Knights, Dawn's and Monks. I start off casting Halo then unleashing Shadow Dash. I enter Star Surge, I continue attacking until there's no more, then I move on until more dark forces attack. I gather with Magnega then cast Thundaja. The enemies are defeated, then I enter Elemental Mastery.

I'm coated in multi-color is red, yellow, blue, orange and green, and six Keyblades surrounds me, each enhanced in a different element: Water, Ice, Fire, Thunder, Earth and Arcane. At the next wave of dark forces, I attack, using two weapons. Dual Wielding. Every two combos I do, I switch weapons. First Fire and Ice, second Earth and Wind, lastly Water and Arcane.

The enemies dies quickly from my attacks. We both reach the Postern. To my surprise, there's a dark portal here. Defenders and Samurai's take over this area. I gather them with Magnega, then continue attack, up until I reach my full power and unleash Elemental Mastery. The Keyblades circle around me in Hexagon form, then they planet on the ground. I channel elemental power. In each divider, Fire raises, water splashes, ice shards rain down, earth spikes raise, lightning strikes and Ruin orbs rain down, then I unleash all my power, unleash a powerful element wave in each corner.

That attack destroys the Nobodies and Heartless, then the next wave of them and Unversed. Destroyed the second they appeared. With this area clear, Serah and I head down the next path, heading to the Front Doors.

The Front Doors has the giant wave attacks of the Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed. "Serah! Take cover!" I use my Ralph Charm, activating the D-link then fight head on against the dark forces. Armored Knights and Dusks attack me, I block with Holy Shield then countered with Counter Aura. I attack hard on the enemies. I break through the Defenders shields with Breaker.

More of them appear, dozens. Wyvern's and Dragoons were a hard hit since I couldn't do any wind or magnet spells. I cast Quakeja to handle the ground enemies, then I attack the Wyvern's. Dragoon's attack by doing their Jump ability. I was able to dodge roll out of the way, then I do Brutal Blast, gathering strength then do a jump sweep, striking nearby enemies with all my strength.

A next wave of enemies appear, that's when I unleash my full power: Building Wrecker. Half the dark forces are risen up on the pillar. They were quickly destroyed by my wrecking, while the ones on the ground are defeated by the falling boulders.

With the enemies down, Serah and I approach the castle doors, where we are greeted by a lance and mace blocking our way.

"No one is allowed in the castle." Aeleus says.

I face both Aeleus and Dlian seriously. Saying to them the password. "Darkness In Zero."

Aeleus and Dlian exchange looks, then remove their weapons. "Very well. You may enter."

Leon and the gang await in the computer room of Ansems Study. The meeting for the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee is suppose to start, but they are still waiting for Serah and I. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and the King are here as well. So are Terra and Ventus.

Serah and I finally arrived. "Sora. Riku. Kairi? You all are here?"

"Of course. We are part of the Restoration Committee." Sora says.

"Well, Sora, Donald and Goofy are. We're just the guests." Riku says.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin." Leon turns to the computer. "Tron. Can you bring up the map of the town?"

The lights dim and a hologram of the city of Radiant Garden appears in the center of the room. Throughout the city, purple dots appear, each of them far out of the other.

"Okay. There are portals all over the city, each of them coming from the dark realm." Hearing that has me curious. "The Heartless, Nobodies and these...Unversed creatures, are coming out of them."

"Just who is behind all of this?" Cid asks.

"Xehanort?" Terra asks.

"No. It can't be." I say. "Xehanort's power greatly diminished when I faced him back in the Keyblade Graveyard. I have a gut feeling this is the Shadowmoon's doing." I know it's them, and I know why: They're here for me.

"The Shadowmoon? You mean those guys in the darkness from the stories, who are hunting for 'The Last LeiShen'?" Riku's tone sounds like he's doubting me.

"They're true. I encountered them many times during my travels finding Aqua." I say.

They're nothing but silence. Each of them exchange looks. Some think the Shadowmoon are now true, some think they're still a myth. None of them had the voice to speak their minds.

"Okay. Moving on. There are a total of five portals in the city. They're all located in the Market Row, Central Square, Postern, Reactor Area and Purification Facility." Leon says.

"But Leon, where are countless hordes coming from the Castle Gates Ruins." Serah says.

"Serah's right. We saw it. Endless Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed coming from the Dark Depths. I have a feeling there's another portal down there." I say.

"We'll worry about that one later. Right now, we should focus on the town." Leon's right. "We'll split up. Riku, can you close those portals?"

"It won't be easy, but I can try. But I'm going to need some back up. I have a feeling those portals are not going to be left unguarded." Riku says.

He's not wrong. We did encounter enemies on the one in Postern. "Don't worry, Terra, Ventus and I will tag along." I say.

"Very well. Sora, Donald, Goofy. I need you guys to hold off the darkness coming from the Castle Gates Ruins. Do not let them enter the town." Leon says.

"You can count on us." Sora says.

"Serah, you and Aerith evacuate the citizens. The king will help you fight off the enemies." Leon says. Serah nods, Aerith and Mickey smiles. "Kairi, you stay here and look after the evacuated citizens. Make sure they are safe."

Kairi is not too pleased with her role. "But I want to fight!"

"No offense, Kairi. But you won't stand a chance out there." Leon says.

"Leon's right. Back on the islands, you bearly survived on your own against the Heartless. You'll be eaten alive out there." Even though what I say is true, it still sound cruel. "Besides, the civilians will feel much safer with a Keybearer with them."

Kairi bends down with a depressed sigh. "I guess you're right."

"The rest of us will split up, clear out any Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed in the city. Everyone ready?" Leon asks.

"Ready!" We all say.

Everyone gets set up for the ultimate combat outside. I, however, am not getting ready. I just stand by the Computer Room, looking down at the Heartless Factory. Serah approaches me from behind.

"Big brother, is something wrong?" Serah asks.

I turn looking at Serah. "Nothing's wrong." I look back at the view. "I'm fine."

Serah puts a hand on my back. "It's about Aqua, isn't it?"

I look down, sighing. "I don't know what else to do." I turn facing Serah. "I have searched everywhere. I cannot find a way to free her from the darkness. Not in the between worlds..."

Serah widens her eyes. She can see where I'm going with this. "Patrick...you...you're not saying...you're going into the darkness, are you?"

"What other choice do I have?" I say.

"But you can't do that. It's too dangerous." Serah says. "Sure, you are strong. But...Aqua, she's been trapped in there for fifteen years. If she can't get out, what are the chances you could?" I say nothing, just make a look that means what she says is not going to stop me. "I'm sure there's another way. We'll figure it out. Just promise me, you won't go into the Realm of Darkness. Please..."

I'm still silent, then she makes that pleading look. I haven't seen one of those in years. She use to make those when she's little, it's what she uses to beg people. The quivering lips, the puppy eyes. I'm just hoping she doesn't do the single tear, cause I'm sure it'll look ridiculous as a young adult.

I take a deep sigh. "Fine...I won't enter the dark realm."

Serah smiles then claps her hands. "Excellent."

"Hey. You two coming?" I look past Serah and she turns, to see Leon.

"We're coming." Serah says.

Leon and Serah leaves. I stay behind for a little, taking a deep breath, then move my leave from Ansem's Study.
