"Young Virtus. Young Noel. I must see you and Young Sora again. Come find me at the Village of the End, and bring your friends as well." A voice said.
"That voice…was it him again?" Ky asked.
"I wonder what he wants." Noel said.
"What's wrong?" Elena asked.
"We need to return to Noble Palace again quick." Noel said.
"What for?" Sly asked.
"To meet with someone." Ky said as he and the others go for Noble Palace.
Meanwhile in the Gummi ship Sora, Donald, and Goofy see Ky, Noel, and the others going for Noble Palace.
"I wonder what's going on." Sora said.
"We'd better go follow them." Donald said.
Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create the light portal and enter it while the Gummi ship enters the world.
(Field Theme: Restoring Bygone Fortress)

The light portal appears in the ruined castle entrance and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the portal before it disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive.
"What's going on? Why're we back here?" Sora asked.
"Noel and I got a message in our heads, telling us we should go back to that old village and meet with the white cloaked guy again." Ky said.
"Him again? Wonder what he wants now." Donald said.
"We'll see, but all of us have to go in there." Noel said.
"Okay. If you say so." Murray said.
The group go into the castle.
(Noble Palace: Hallways)
The group make their way through the hallways and climb upstairs and they later arrive at the door and go for the chamber.

(Field Theme: Sacred Harmony)
(Village of the End: Temple of Archives)
The group are now in Village of the End and are in the temple.
"Where are we?" Goofy asked.
"This is the place where Aptus and his brother Malus used to rule over and live in harmony until Malus' greed for power led to his conflict with Aptus, which destroyed this place years ago." Ky said.
"That's terrible." Lucas said.
"So, where is he?" Shadow asked.
"We'll have to find him." Noel said.
The group leave the temple and go for the village.
(Village of the End: Village Ruins)
The group arrive at the ruined village and look around.
"This place actually looks familiar to me." Max said.
"Wait, wasn't this the place we were sent to after defeating Kaos and Zervik, and where you fought Nex?" Elena asked.
"Yeah. It looks like it." Ky said.
"But where's this guy hiding?" Sora asked.
"I see you have arrived, my friends." A voice said and the group look up to see the white cloaked figure.
"You." Ky said.
"What did you want with us?" Sly asked.
"The time has come for you to know who I truly, but you must first prove to me that right, and also prove to me you true strength." The white cloaked figure said.
"Prove our strength? Haven't we done that already?" Ky asked.
"Yes, but I must see what your true powers are like, from how well you work together." The white cloaked figure said.
"That's it?" Ken asked.
"And how do you want us to prove that?" Zatch asked.
"By fighting me in combat." The white cloaked figure answered shocking Ky.
"What? Fight YOU?! Why? You've helped us during my journey! Why would I wanna fight you?" Ky asked.
"Because, the time has come for your powers to be realized. This is a test of strength and will from your hearts. Now, show me your true powers, and do not hold back on me." The white cloaked figure said as he takes out his gold Keyblade.
"Okay, fine!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"I was hoping we wouldn't have to fight him…" Noel said taking out Radiant Salvation.
"If you wanna our strength, then you'll see just how strong we are!" Sora said taking out Kingdom Key.
"Thank you, my friends. Now, let us begin!" The white cloaked figure said.

Ky, Noel, and Sora breathe heavily because of the fight while the white cloaked figure just stands there as if nothing was hurting him and he withdraws his Keyblade.
"Well done, my friends. I am pleased with your strength. You have shown me your true valor and what your powers are. As a reward for passing my test, I shall reveal to you who I am." The white cloaked figure said as he takes off his hood and reveals his face which is a young man with long smooth white hair and blue eyes. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Aptus. The Keyblade Paragon of Light." Aptus introduced shocking the trio.
"YOU'RE Aptus?! Malus' brother? The ruler of this world, and the one, who sealed Malus' body? And the one, who defeated the Brotherhood and sealed them?" Ky asked.
"Yes." Aptus said.
"But I thought you were dead. That's what we heard." Noel said.
"Yes. I did say that, but only to keep my identity a secret, until I was ready to reveal myself to you. You three have been through much to earn my trust, and become my allies." Aptus said.
"So, are you…immortal?" Elena asked.
"You could say that, yes. So is Malus." Aptus said.
"How was that possible?" Goofy asked.
"My brother and I have found a magical means of remaining to live for a long time. Because of this, we can no longer age, nor can we be destroyed." Aptus said.
"I see. I can't believe it's an honor to officially meet you. You have no idea how grateful I am of seeing you every time. You've saved me more than I can count. You saved me during my birthday when I was attacked, and you brought me back when I had to give up my own heart to complete the Keyhole back at Void Citadel." Ky said.
"You were also the guy that sent that bitch Rixla somewhere else after she hurt Noel, right?" Ken asked.
"Yes. And I was the one, who saved Noel from her state, allowing her to continue living. I have also brought Pax back to life after Malus destroyed Ky's and Noel's hearts at Tower of Remembrance." Aptus said.
"You brought Pax back?!" Ky asked.
"Yes." Aptus answered and Ky hugs him.
"Thank you. I don't know how to repay you…!" Ky said as tears fall from his eyes.
"Your gratitude is unnecessary. It is I, who should be grateful, for you three and your friends have shown valor and have been saving countless lives from the wrath of the darkness. You already know that Brotherhood of Disharmony and Organization XIII remain at large. Your battles with them will not be an easy one." Aptus said.
"But it's one we'll finish!" Sora said.
"Wise answer, young Sora." Aptus said.
"We heard that your brother has found a new vessel, and used it to make a Nobody." Noel said.
"Yes. My brother's anger has led him to what he is now. He is using a body of a former Keyblade wielder to fulfill his own selfish desires, while his Heartless of that body has controlled Zervik." Aptus said.
"Defeating him won't be an easy task just like with Malus' Heartless using Zervik's body like a puppet." Ky said.
"Yes, but I know you will emerge victorious. Your friends will also provide you some help." Aptus said.
"You're right." Noel said.
"The time has come for me to take my leave now. I shall leave the rest to you." Aptus said as he disappears in light.
"Goodbye for now, Aptus." Ky said.
The group return to the temple and go for the light yellow beam and enter it and they later return to the secret chamber in Noble Palace.
"Let's get going, and continue this quest. We still have a lot of work to do." Ky said.
"Yeah, and I hope sooner or later, we finish this." Sora said as the group start to leave the castle and leave Noble Palace to continue their journey.
There you go! New chapter done! I hope you enjoyed this! We are now reaching the endgame of this story. I am hoping you're looking forward to what will come down. Next time, Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas find out that two worlds are having alternate worlds, and they must go to investigate, while taking them somewhere else. I'll see you all in the next chapter! Take care, and goodbye for now! Don't forget to favorite, follow, and review! Bye!
