Chapter 102: Alternate Worlds
Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Noble Palace and return to the space area while Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to their Gummi ship and while they continue their journey they see what looks like a giant white castle.
"What is THAT?" Ky asked.
"It looks like a castle, but where has that been?" Elena asked.
"Something tells me we'll have to deal with it soon." Noel said.
Just then the group see something about Gloam City.
"What's with Gloam City?" T.J. asked.
"Hmm, there appears to be TWO Gloam Cities." Tails said.
"Yes, something strange is going on." Bentley said.
"We're gonna find out what." Ky said.
Meanwhile in the Gummi ship the trio see something on screen and it's the giant castle.
"Gawrsh, there's a giant castle here." Goofy said.
"You don't think it's the Organization's?" Donald asked.
"Maybe." Sora said and they then see something about Twilight Town.
"Huh? What's with Twilight Town?" Goofy asked.
"There seems to be TWO of them!" Donald said.
"I dunno what's going on, we'd better go see." Sora said.
The group make their way for Gloam City and Twilight Town but they see what looks like a locked gate.
"We should unlock this." Ky said.
"Right." Noel said.
"Guys, what's going on?" Sora asked.
"We're not sure, Sora, but Noel and I are gonna figure out what's happening in Gloam City." Ky said.
"Really, cause we're trying to figure what's happening in Twilight Town." Sora said.
"Then, we'll unlock the way for Gloam City while you do the same for Twilight Town." Noel said.
"You bet!" Sora said.
Ky and Noel go for the gate to Gloam City and transform into rays of light and enter the gate.
The rays of light make their way through the gateway while fighting off rays of darkness of Black Xetis and rays of darkness of Haviks and they keep going through the gateway but more rays of darkness of Black Xetis and rays of darkness of Haviks appear and attack the rays of light who dodge and they enter what looks like a fortress and aim to destroy it while fighting off more rays of darkness of Black Xetis and Haviks and later on the rays of light manage to destroy the fortress and make for the exit of the gateway and unlock the path.
Meanwhile the Gummi ship makes its way through the gateway while fighting off Heartless ships and Nobody ships and keep going but more Heartless ships and Nobody ships attack at the Gummi ship but it continues to fight them off and it later enters what looks like a fortress and tries to destroy it but the Heartless ships and Nobody ships attack but the Gummi ship continues to fight and it manages to destroy the fortress and then makes its way for the exit of the gateway and it later reaches the exit and unlocks the path.
After unlocking the path Ky and Noel go for Gloam City and use their Keyblades to create their light portal.
"Okay. We're going for Gloam City. Be careful on your end." Ky said.
"Yeah. You guys too." Sora said.
Ky and Noel enter the light portal and enter Gloam City while the Gummi ship lands in Twilight Town.
(Field Theme: Midday Streets)
(Gloam City: Train Station Entrance)
In the train station entrance the light portal appears 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 light portal before it disappears.
"Okay, so what the hell are we gonna do now?" Ken asked.
"We need to find why there are two Gloam Cities." Kiyo said.
"Any ideas on how we should do that?" Murray asked.
"Hmm, something tells me we'd better head for that ruined castle for our answers. Let's try there." Ky said.
"Well, we don't have any other ideas. Let's go." Max said.
The group go through the train station entrance and make their way for downtown.
(Gloam City: Downtown)
The group go through the downtown to go for the ruined castle and they later go for the outskirts of the city.

(Gloam City: Ruined Gate)
The group arrive at the ruined gate of the ruined castle and they find Raze, Andrew, Topaz, and June who are on the ground but they get up.
"You're back!" Raze said.
"Hey, I didn't think you'd be here." Ky said.
"We could say the same to you." June said.
"What happened to you?" Lucas asked.
"After with what happened to Luke and Ruby, we were trying to find a way on how to try and get them back, but then those dark grey things came and attacked." Raze explained.
"You really need to be careful." Zatch said.
"Oh, well, you didn't have to do that." Noel said.
"Well, sure we did. They're our friends." Topaz said.
"We care about them, just as you do." Andrew said.
"You're right." Noel said.
"So, why'd you think going to that castle would help?" Bentley asked.
"Because there are rumors that this castle holds lots of strange things, and it's said that it's the key to another Gloam City." Andrew said.
"So, you think that too, huh?" Zuko asked.
"So, there's an alternate Gloam City? How?" Sly asked.
"Well, it involves that in the basement, there is a computer that activate some sort of portal that take someone to a different Gloam City." Topaz said.
"There are strange rumors that if someone uses the computer, then it will gain access to the alternate city." Raze said.
"Hmm, well, if that's true, then we should check it out." Ky said.
Just then Horror Haviks appear and try to attack at the group but then someone comes and destroys them and it's Fulgur, and with him are Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario.
"Fulgur!" Elena said.
"Oswald!" Max said.
"Sonic!" Tails said.
"Princess! Mario!" Noel said.
"Watch out! More are coming!" Fulgur said.
More Horror Haviks appear and just then dark grey demonic creatures that look like peacocks holding ethereal orbs appear.
"Okay, let's kick some ass!" Ken said.

"What're you guys doing here?" Ky asked.
"We finally managed to find Jet Yoro and Ami. They're currently with Ansem the Wise." Oswald said.
"He managed to find his way into Organization XIII's world." Sonic said.
"Great. That should be where Griff is with Kairi." Ky said.
"We came here, because apparently, there are two Gloam Cities." Shadow said.
"And this castle should lead us to the alternate way." Tails said.
"Now, we should follow this rumor, and see what's going on." Zuko said.
"That would be a good idea. I'm sure this might also lead us to the Organization's stronghold as well." Peach said.
"Great. Maybe Pax and Nex are there. Also, why didn't you tell me Pax was brought back to life?" Ky asked.
"Who told you that?" Fulgur asked.
"Aptus did." Ky answered.'
"The Keyblade Paragon of Light?" Peach asked.
"Well, I guess you were bound to figure this out sooner or later. Listen, Ky, you need to understand, Pax didn't want you to know he's alive again, because he'd be worry you would get too reckless to see him again." Fulgur said.
"Well, of course, but it would've been nice if I got to see him again. Now, I'll find him and Nex." Ky said.
"Who's Pax and who's Nex?" Raze asked.
"They're my best friends." Ky answered.
"Well, anyway, we should go into the castle to confirm this rumor, and see if we'll be able to go to Organization XIII's stronghold." Bentley said.
"Right. Let's go." Noel said.
The group go for the ruined castle and enter it.
(Gloam City: Abandoned Castle-Foyer)
The group arrive at the castle foyer and look around.
"You said this computer is at the basement, right?" Ken asked.
"Yes. We just gotta get to the study." June said.
"Okay. Let's go." Noel said.
The group go through the foyer and they go for the next room.
(Gloam City: Abandoned Castle-Study)
The group arrive at the study and they find stairs.
"Wonder where this will lead us to." Zatch said.
"Only one way to find out." Murray said.
The group go downstairs and they later go for the next room.
(Gloam City: Abandoned Castle-Machine Room)
The group arrive at a machine room and they find what looks like a computer and pad.
"This must be it." Tails said.
"Yep. The computer. Now, we gotta activate it." Andrew said.
"How?" Lucas asked.
"Simple, I just gotta use it and see if I can use the password." Andrew said.
"But what password would that be?" Raze asked.
"Hmm, why don't you try 'Memory'?" Peach suggested.
"Memory? Okay." Andrew said as he types in the password and just then something happens to the pad. "It worked!" Andrew said.
"Great!" Elena said.
"Now, you see if it'll take us to the alternate Gloam City." Ky said.
"Good luck. We'll handle everything here." June said.
"Yeah." Raze said.
"If you find Luke and Ruby, say hi to them for me." Topaz said.
"I will." Noel said.
"Also, tell Sora we said hi too." Raze said.
"Got it." Ky said.
"C'mon! Let's roll!" Sonic said.
"Well, here we go." Ky said.
The group get on the pad and use it to take them somewhere and they get transported.
(Gloam City: Abandoned Castle-Machine Room)
The group are transported to a machine room and look around.
"Everything's the same." T.J. said.
"No… We must be in the alternate Gloam City. Xyk's Gloam City…" Ky said.
"Yes. The place, where Xyk was." Noel said.
"Now, we just need to find a portal that will lead us to Organization XIII's fortress." Fulgur said.
"Okay. Let's go." Sly said.
The group leave the machine room and go for the next area.
(Gloam City: Basement)
The group are now in a basement and while looking around Storm, Grace, and Lucky see something which is a portal on a wall.
"Well, this must be it." Noel said.
"Okay, so we just go in, and find the hideout." Ken said.
"Here we go." Ky said.
The group go for the portal and enter a different area.
(Gloam City: Betwixt and Between)
The group arrive at a strange place where Nobody symbols are flying around and while exploring they see crystals appearing in front of the group but then the crystals surround Ky.
"Ky!" Noel cried.
"What the hell?" Ky asked.
"So, you've finally figured out the way to our stronghold, huh?" A voice asked and Ky sees Jinux appearing.
"Jinux?" Ky asked.
"Unfortunately for you, you won't be alive to confront the Organization. Time to perish…traitor." Jinux said.
"What are you talking about?" Ky asked.
"Just shut up and die!" Jinux yelled as he unleashes a crystal shard which shatters and disappears and reveals his rapier known as Glittering Doom.
"Fine! You wanna fight? Let's fight!" Ky yelled taking out Dawn of Hope.
(Boss Theme: The 13th Struggle)
Jinux charges at Ky and delivers a slashing attack with his rapier but Ky dodges and slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light blades and sends them to strike but Jinux disappears and then unleashes crystal spikes from the ground to get Ky who jumps over the crystal spikes and aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Fire but Jinux unleashes two crystal daggers and throws them at Ky who casts Reflect to make the crystal daggers go right back at Jinux striking him but Jinux retaliates with triple slashing with his rapier and then delivers dash slashing with his rapier and rains down crystal shards down at Ky who dodges and vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a slide kick and then lower slashes but Jinux strikes back with unleashing many crystal spikes from the ground to damage Ky who strikes back with slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light chains and lashes with them but Jinux triple slashes with his rapier and then unleashes crystal daggers and sends them to strike but Ky horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope.
"That's it! Stay where you are!" Jinux yelled as he unleashes a crystal and encases Ky.

Ky is sent back and Jinux rushes to finish him off.
"What the hell am I supposed to do?" Ky asked.
"You can't stay here for too long or the darkness will take you!" A voice said and someone comes in and pushes Jinux back with leaf blades and it's Nixa who is holding her hookswords Flora. "Don't waste anymore time here! Get going!" Nixa said.
"Why?" Ky asked.
"Don't ask me stupid questions! Just go!" Nixa said.
"So, you decide to side with the traitor, but being a traitor yourself! You're a disgrace to the Organization, Nixa!" Jinux said.
"Jinux, please, reasonable! You want him back just as much as I do!" Nixa said.
"Shut up!" Jinux yelled as he sends a crystal dagger at Nixa striking her.
"Hey!" Ky yelled as he throws Dawn of Hope at Jinux. "Are you okay?" Ky asked.
"Look, I did kidnap Griff, but he got away along with Kairi. After that, Jinux took him. That's why you need to help him. Now go!" Nixa said but then she feels a stab in the back and it's from a rapier which is from Jinux.
"I've had it with your crap, Nixa! You and Xyk both deserve worse! He'll be next after I'm done with you!" Jinux said as he unleashes a crystal and traps Nixa in it.
"No…!" Ky said.
"Goodbye…Ky. Xyk…I wish I could have seen you again…" Nixa said as she is now completely trapped in crystal.
"Now die!" Jinux yelled as he delivers an impaling strike with his rapier shattering the crystal and Nixa disappears in darkness and vanishes into the leaves.
"Nixa…" Ky said as tears fall from his face.
"What's this? You're crying? Over a worthless Nobody, who deserved what was coming to her?! Don't worry, you'll join her soon enough!" Jinux said.
"Bastard…bastard…BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!" Ky shouted crying.
"Enough of your crap! Just disappear!" Jinux said.

"Dammit…" Jinux said.
Jinux kneels while his rapier disappears and Ky continues crying.
"Why am I crying? What is with this emotion I'm having?!" Ky asked.
"How is this possible? How could I be defeated by an idiot?! I'm a failure. There's no way I can show my face to Xusmal now." Jinux said.
"What's your deal?" Ky asked.
"What am I even doing? I'm trying to kill someone I deemed as my friend, but I put my orders first before anyone else, and Nixa… Oh, crap! Nixa! I…" Jinux stops talking as screams.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Ky asked.
"I can't believe what I've done to Nixa…! She's my sister, and I…killed her! And I tried killing someone, who was our friend… Ky, I'm sorry. This was my fault. I shouldn't be around anymore." Jinux said as he unleashes crystals to cover himself.
"What are you doing?" Ky asked.
"Doing what I've should have done before. Erasing myself. I've had enough regrets. Go, and find Griff. I'm sorry for kidnapping him." Jinux said.
"Why can't you tell him yourself?" Ky asked.
"My heart wouldn't be in it. Not that I have one." Jinux said.
"Just what was going on?" Ky asked.
"Nixa wanted to see Xyk again. He…was her best friend. So was I, but seeing how close Nixa and Xyk were, I started having resentments toward him. He made us feel like we had hearts. Seeing you now…makes me feel the same…" Jinux said.
"Jinux…" Ky said.
"There's no more time. You have to put an end to Organization XIII's plans. I'll use the last of my power to send you there. Griff and Kairi are in the castle dungeon. Hurry!" Jinux said as he unleashes a dark corridor. "Good luck, and I'm sorry…" Jinux said as he's completely covered in crystal and it shatters into nothingness as he disappears into darkness and shatters into crystals.
"Nixa…Jinux…" Ky said as he starts crying.
"Ky?" Noel asked.
"What's wrong?" Elena asked.
"It's nothing. C'mon. Jinux opened a way to the Organization's world. We'd better get there quick." Ky said.
"Okay." Noel said as the group go for the dark corridor and go for a new world.
(Field Theme: Afternoon Streets)
(Twilight Town: Central Station)
Meanwhile Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive at the train station in Twilight Town.
"Hey, I think we're almost there!" Goofy said.
"Huh?" Sora asked.
"Gawrsh, aren't we here because of the picture too?" Goofy asked as he takes out the picture of Hanyer, Pence, Olette, and Roxas.
"Yeah! Goofy's right!" Donald said.
"C'mon! Let's go find this mansion!" Goofy said.

The trio arrive at the gates of the haunted mansion and they find Hayner, Pence, and Olette on the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?" Sora asked.
"What happened?" Goofy asked.
"We came here looking for Kairi and Griff. Then those white things attacked us." Hayner explained.
"You gotta be careful!" Donald said.
"Yeah, you didn't have to do that." Sora said.
"Of course we did. Kairi and Griff are our friends too, you know." Hayner said.
"You're right. I never really thought about that before." Sora said.
"Word is, this mansion gets a lot of strange visitors." Hayner said.
"We thought this place might be a gateway to some kind of alternate Twilight Town." Olette said.
"What do you mean alternate Twilight Town?" Sora asked.
"Hey, Goofy, do you think we could see that crystal of yours?" Pence asked and Goofy takes out the pouch and the blue crystal.
"I made that pouch myself, and I still have it. So, there shouldn't be two of them here." Olette said.
"And this is the trophy Seifer gave you. You left this." Hayner said showing the trophy with the blue, red, yellow, and green.
"It's the only one of its kind. Same for the crystals…red, blue, yellow, and green. Only one of each color. But you've got your own." Pence said.
"So…where'd you get it?" Hayner asked.
"The pouch is from the King. When he gave us munny for the train ride, he gave us the crystal too." Goofy said.
"But then, where did the King get it?" Pence asked.
"See? There's gotta be another town out there like this one. That would explain how the King got that pouch and the crystal. It all make sense." Hayner said.
"It…does?" Sora asked.
"That other town must be where whatever's missing from here went." Pence said.
"Like Kairi." Olette said.
"I get it!" Sora said.
Just then Dusk Nobodies appear and attack them but then someone comes and destroys the Dusks and it's Mickey with his Keyblade.

"I got somethin' to tell ya. I found out where Ansem is. Ansem the Wise. The REAL Ansem. He, along with Jet Yoro and Ami, snuck into Organization XIII's stronghold." Mickey said.
"And we've figured out where Kairi is! I'm pretty sure we're right." Sora said.
"But why'd you all come here?" Mickey asked.
"Someone gave us a clue." Sora said.
"Who?" Mickey asked.
"Well, Your Majesty, Sora thinks it mighta been Riku." Goofy said.
"It's just a feeling I had." Sora said.
"Welp, if that's what ya think, then it's probably right." Mickey said.
"You mean Riku's okay!" Sora said.
"If that's what you think." Mickey said.
"I've wait long enough, Your Majesty! Tell me what you know!" Sora said.
"It's not for me to say." Mickey said.
"But, Your Majesty, why?" Sora asked.
"I don't wanna break a promise…" Mickey said.
"You made a promise to Riku?! Then he's okay! I get to see him again!" Sora said.
"Who's Riku?" Hayner asked.
"My best friend." Sora said.
"That's IT!" Pence said.
"Your Majesty, you got the pouch with the crystal from Riku, didn't you? And you promised not to tell." Olette said.
"Oh, gosh…" Mickey stops talking.
"That's enough!" Donald said.
"Yeah. Let's go. Kairi. Riku, we're on our way!" Sora said.
The trio make their way for the haunted mansion and enter it.
(Twilight Town: Mansion-Foyer)
The trio, Mickey, Hayner, Pence, and Olette enter the haunted mansion and are in the foyer.
"There's gotta be a computer somewhere." Mickey said.
"A computer… Do you think it's connected to that other Twilight Town?" Pence asked.
"It might be. And there should be a way into the Realm of Darkness there." Mickey said.
"Riku told you, didn't he?" Sora asked.
"Sora, please." Mickey said.
"Aha! I knew it!" Sora said.
"Hey, quit pestering the King!" Donald yelled.
"Oh, sorry…" Sora said rubbing the back of his head.

"How does it work?" Donald asked.
"I wish Tails and Bentley are here right now." Sora said.
"I can handle it." Pence said as he gets on the computer. "Okay. Here we go. Ah…" Pence said/
"What's wrong?" Hayner asked.
"I can't go any further without a password." Pence said.
"Do ya have any idea what the password could be?" Mickey asked.
"Well, we only got this photo." Goofy said.
"And the salty sweet ice cream bar!" Donald said.
"The one Donald ate up." Sora said.
"It was in the box right next to the photo." Goofy said.
"That's it! Ansem the Wise loved ice cream." Mickey said.
"Okay. What's the name of the flavor?" Pence asked.
"It was sea salt ice cream." Sora said.
"Okay." Pence said as he types. "It worked!" Pence said and something activates.
"This must be it. Let's go." Sora said.
"We'll be here to hold down the fort." Hayner said.
"Say hi to Kairi for us." Olette said.
"Yeah." Sora said.
"Oh, and if you find Ky and Noel, tell 'em we said hi too." Pence said.
"You betcha!" Donald said.
The trio go for the portal and go somewhere else and are now transported to what looks like the same room.
(Twilight Town: Mansion-Computer Room)
"Are we back in the same place?" Sora asked.
"Look!" Donald said pointing at a damaged computer.
"This must be the alternate Twilight Town. Roxas' Twilight Town…" Sora said.
An image of a boy who is Roxas attacking the computer occurs.

"It's no use!" Sora said.
"Don't stop moving, or the darkness will overtake you!" A voice said and someone comes and attacks the Dusks and it's Axel with his chakrams known as Eternal Flames. "Get goin'!" Axel said.
"Why?" Sora asked.
"Don't ask! Just do it!" Axel said but Dusk Nobodies attack Axel but Sora destroys them.
"You okay?" Sora asked.
"I kidnapped Kairi, but she got away from me along with Griff. After that, Saix caught her. He's a member of Organization XIII. Saix. Got it memorized? Now, get goin'!" Axel said.
Just then more Dusk Nobodies come and try to attack but Sora destroys them.
"Leave us alone!" Sora yelled.
(Battle Theme: The 13th Struggle)

The Dusk Nobodies attack at the two but Sora slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a leaping slash while Axel throws his chakrams and then unleashes flames but the Dusk Nobodies slither around and attack with their arms but Axel delivers a flaming slide while Sora casts Water to strike but then Assassin Nobodies appear and attack with their blades from underground but Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by unleashing light explosions while Axel attacks with his chakrams and then throws them while covered in fire but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their heads while Assassin Nobodies slash with their blades but Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Fire while Axel unleashes fire waves from his chakrams but the Nobodies continue to attack but Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a leaping slash while Axel slashes with his chakrams and then unleashes more fires and they defeat all of the Nobodies but more appear and Sora and Axel go back to back while surrounded by Nobodies.
"I think I liked it better when they were on my side!" Axel said.
"Feeling a little…regret?" Sora asked.
"Nah. I can handle these punks! Watch this!" Axel said as he unleashes a powerful fiery explosion and gets all of the Nobodies and after the explosion is over no more Nobodies remain.
"Whoa!" Sora said and then he sees Axel on the ground and starts fading. "You're…fading away…" Sora said.
"Well, that's what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. You know what I mean? Not that Nobodies actually HAVE 'beings', right? Anyway, I digress. Go. Find Kairi. Oh, and almost forgot. Sorry for what I did to her." Axel said.
"When we find her, you can tell her that yourself." Sora said.
"Think I'll pass. My heart wouldn't just be in it, ya know. Haven't got one. Hehehehe…" Axel said.
"Axel, what were you trying to do?" Sora asked.
"I wanted to see Roxas. He…was the only one I liked. He made me…feel like I had a heart. It's kinda funny. You make me feel…the same…" Axel said. "Kairi's in the caste dungeon with Griff. Ky and Noel should be at our world by now. Now, go!" Axel said as he unleashes his dark corridor and then disappears in darkness.
"Axel…" Sora said.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy see the dark corridor.
"This leads to…" Sora stops talking.
"Aw, c'mon! Let's go! Ky and Noel are probably waiting." Donald said.
"Yeah." Sora said and they go for the dark corridor taking them to a new world.
(Theme: Organization XIII)
Meanwhile at Where Nothing Gathers the remaining Organization members which consists of Xemnas, Xigbar, Saix, and Luxord are sitting on their thrones and Xusmal is with them.
"The house is looking pretty empty, huh? I thought I'd get a little enjoyment watching Axel, Nixa, and Jinux throw one last tantrum, but they all went a lot quieter than I thought." Xigbar said.
"Perhaps they were ready for it. Perhaps they put their existences on the line and won what they'd had been longing for." Luxord said.
"Wait a minute! How would that even be possible? We don't exist, remember? What you're saying goes against the laws of nature." Xigbar said.
"Then, perhaps they bet their NON-existences. Either way, they all came out winners. Oh, Axel, Nixa, and Jinux. Grifters till the end." Luxord said.
"That's absurd. They won nothing, and ARE nothing. Axel and Nixa couldn't stand the emptiness of being without hearts. THAT was what led to their demise. And Jinux let his own weakness get the better of him, leading to his own destruction. They were all foolish, weak, and are failures." Saix said.
"But weakness has the power to awaken that which is dormant. Is it clear that through their actions, however foolish they may have been, Axel, Nixa, and Jinux have touched Sora's and Ky's hearts. Perhaps THEY will soon awaken." Xemnas said.
"Yes. I look forward to it. Perhaps, they did serve their final purposes before meeting their own demise." Xusmal said.
(Theme: Brotherhood of Disharmony)
Meanwhile at the dark crimson chamber Narasix, Jeal, Sedia, and Monity are talking.
"Well, everything is getting quiet now that Ky, Noel, and Sora have sealed our dear friends. Now, it's just us." Monity said.
"Just when things couldn't get any more complicated than this." Sedia said.
"Now, what to do?" Jeal asked.
"It is clear now that my patience has worn thin. We will take Virtus by force if necessary. You three will go to Organization XIII's fortress and do what you must to take Virtus alive, even if it means ending the lives of his friends." Narasix said.
"That we can gladly do." Jeal said.
"Yeah. We'll do just that, and we'll complete our dream, just how you want it." Sedia said.
"Well then, I suppose we must be off. We will not fail this mission, like the others have." Monity said as he disappears in darkness.
"Time to go." Jeal said as he and Sedia disappear in darkness.
Meanwhile in a dungeon cell Luke and Ruby are trapped and just then Odium shows up.
"What do you want now?" Luke asked.
"Change of plans! You're goin' to Organization XIII's place! I'm gonna try and lead Crybaby to her destruction in the most satisfying way!" Odium said.
"Like hell we'll come with you!" Ruby said.
"Oh, too bad. You're coming." Odium said as he goes for the two and then unleashes a shadow portal and sends the two into it and goes after them. "It's payback time, Crybaby. Don't worry, Nexxy, you'll be next in line!" Odium said as he disappears in shadows.
