Here it is... the final chapter of the Aladdin world. It was drama, twists, and action. What do I mean? You're about to find out.
The next day, The beam of light indicating the Vanishing Isle's next appearance was not hard to miss, and Sora and company soon found themselves near the ship where Cassim was being held captive.
Aladdin and Jasmine were riding Carpet, while everyone else was in a hovercraft that Genie had transformed himself into. "Thank you for flying Air Genie," Genie announced as their goal became closer, "please keep your tray tables up and your seats in the full upright position until the vehicle comes to a complete stop."
Look." Said Donald and Goofy as what they witnessed is the Oracle again. You have arrived." the Oracle announced before disappearing. Saluk's stolen vessel was rocked from side to side in a sudden rush of undersea turbulence, and then... Nothing.
"I've had enough of your trickery, Cassim!" Saluk growled, holding his knuckleduster at his captive's neck.
"No," Cassim replied. "This is it... the Vanishing Isle. Watch."
Just then, another violent surge rocked the ship, and something that appeared to be a rock rose from the depths of the sea. But as the rock continued to climb, one could see that it was not a rock at all... but a building! More buildings followed, until an entire city emerged.
The city was seemingly on a small island, until a head poked out from the water! The Vanishing Isle was on top of a giant sea turtle! That was why it was never in the same place twice.
Salluk, and a few Heartless left the boat before it fell back into the sea. Some of the Heartless stayed with the ship to prepare for Salluk's escape. Saluk dr agged Cassim along while his Heartless kept their antennae perked. They sensed something. Something they had not sensed in a very long time... Sora, Naruto and the Ganged Jumped From The Genie transformed back into who made a false Keyblade like Sora's last adventure.
"You're Sure you don't need a Keyblade Naruto?" Naruto smirked.
"Thanks, but no thanks. Got my own!" He shows Genie his Keyblade.
The heroes jumped off of the rocket and charged at the Heartless. Aladdin sees Cassim being dragged away by Salluk. He turns to his blue friend.
"Genie? We need a distraction." Genie smirked.
"SURVEY SAYS SHOW ME THE TURTLE!" Genie Exclaimed then he flew inside the turtle's mouth. Sora thought he heard a turtle's mouth from the inside before a large tremor shook the island. Sora and Naruto laughed. Suddenly Naruto felt a disturbance in his heart.
"Hello, Naruto." A voice said. Naruto's eyes widen and turned around and looked up at a boy with a turban and an Organization XIII coat on the top of the isle.
"Sasuke..." Naruto whispered. He was in shock. However, Sora glared at the lone Uchiha.
"What are you doing here?"
"None of your business, loser. But I gotta say it's good to see an old friend.." He mocked at Naruto.
"SHUT UP!" He said. "Sakura told me what you did. I can forgive a lot of things... but destroying a village and murdering half the people and scaring a little girl? That does it for me. "What are you gonna do with Aladdin's dad?" Sasuke scoffed.
"Not me... Saluk has him." They turned to see Salluk pushing Cassim to the cavern. Donald and Goofy gasped. They see that the heartless are surrounding them.
"Any bright ideas?" Donald asked.
"I got one..." Naruto said. "Sora... you go with Aladdin to save Aladdin's dad and find that hand of Midas." Sora and Aladdin nodded and jumped onto a ledge. "Jasmine, I can see you fight so I need you, Donald, and Goofy to stay here and take care of the Heartless."
"Okay..." Donald and Goofy jumped down to stand in front of the Heartless. Before Jasmine jumps down she looked back at Naruto.
"What about you?" Naruto smirked at that question.
"Sasuke and I need to be reacquainted." He holds his hand and grips his Keyblade. Jasmine nods and jumps down.
Sora Aladdin jumped down from a high ledge and dropkicks Saluk. Saluk got back up to attack him, but Aladdin uppercuts him, knocking Saluk unconscious.
"It took me years to find my father. I'm not losing him again!" Sora untied the rope off of Cassim's wrist.
"You came back?" Cassim said. "How could I do anything else?" Aladdin answered. "Now let's get that treasure of yours." He smirked. Sora walks from behind and looks back at the front aisle with worry.
"Naruto... be careful."
Naruto walks closer to Sasuke. He points his Keyblade at him
"So... I made Sakura a new promise... I am gonna take you down... and Xehanort. Speaking of... why are you working with an old geezer like him?"
"Because he can help me with my revenge for destroying my clan..." He said. "Xehanort granted me these powers but I had to trade away my sharingan, and most of my nonja abilities then he and the Xehanorts trained me for a couple of months. Now, once we enter Kingdom Hearts... I will use it to destroy the Hidden leaf village."
"And kill innocent people?" Naruto asked. "Sasuke...I'm gonna honest... you are insane!"
Sasuke chuckled evilly. Instead of making a comment, he wields his own Keyblade. The Keyblade looks like The oblivion one only the Uchiha symbol as a keychain. He evilly grinned then jumped at Naruto but he blocked his Keyblade. Naruto came from behind and kicked Sasuke off Naruto.
"How did you get a Keyblade?" Ask Naruto. Sasuke snorted.
"Master Xehanort gave it to me." He said then cast a bunch of meteors and shot at Naruto. Naruto dodged the meteors and shouted...
SHADOW CLONE JUTSO!" Naruto screamed as cloned twenty of himself all of them throwing Keyblades with Thunder and fire. Sasuke blocked most of the incoming attacks with his Keyblade and dodged the rest. He then countered by throwing the Keyblade, destroying five of the clone Narutos'.
He then attacked the remaining copies, destroying them with single sword strikes. Naruto then leaped at Sasuke with a mighty blow. Then Sasuke tried to hit him with his sword but Naruto counterattacked. Naruto then punched him in his face then kicked him making Sasuke fall down. Sasuke was really angry.
"I know I haven't perfected this power... but I need to use it against Naruto." He stands back up slowly and sees Naruto jumping on him and raises his Keyblade to block Naruto's attacks. He crossed his fingers and shouted. "Dark-style jutsu!" Sasuke sends a ball of darkness shot at Naruto. Naruto feels the pain from the attacks, but before he could try to cure himself, Sasuke grabbed him and throws him up in the air. He flies up and strikes him multiple times. After multiple hits, Naruto fell to the ground. He slowly stands back up. Sasuke raises his hands and a dark ball came out.
"Stand down... final warning." Naruto slowly clenches his arms got into a fighting stance and said... "I could do this all day." He smirked. Sasuke growled and shouted Raised his Keyblade and shouted. Dark STYLE JUTSU!" His Justus and his Keyblade combined rolled around together and knocks Naruto down. He slowly looks at Sasuke before his eyes slowly close down. Sasuke smirks.
"So... this is the end, Naruto... I must admit you put up a much stronger fight than I thought. Once Xehanort obtains the power of the Fox Demon... nothing can stop us for using Kingdom Hearts and destroying the village. And we will use the Heartless to destroy Sora. Farewell, Naruto..." He aims his Keyblade and a beam of darkness at Naruto's heart... but nothing happens. Sasuke quirked an eyebrow and tries to aim it again but with no success.
"This should have worked." He murmured. Suddenly, a light force field came out of Naruto and it knocked Sasuke down.
After being attacked by Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki opens up to find himself in what seems to be a sky touching together/
"Is... is this heaven?" He looks around. Naruto walked around and sees Crystal stars blinking. He is confused about where he is.
"What... what happened? Did... Sasuke kill me?" His eyes lowered. He feels he has failed. He failed Sakura, Sora, and the worlds. He failed to fulfill his promise to Sakura. to protect the village and the worlds.
"No, he did not." A voice called. He turns around looking for the source of the voice. Then a star transformed into a tall man that looks familiar to Naruto. He is wearing a short-sleeved long white haori over his normal attire, closed in the front by a thin, orange rope. Naruto recognized him.
"The fourth Hokage?"
"The seal is set so that if 8 tails are released, I'll appear within your consciousness. I didn't want that to happen...I never wanted to the Nine-Tails. But..." He smiled and put his hand on his shoulder. "...I looked forward to seeing how my son had grown...So I guess you could call it even." Naruto felt his heart jump. What did he just say?
"What?"
"Anyway... Naruto."
Naruto...? You know my name? How do...?"
"Heh. Well, I mean, I gave you your name. You're my kid after all."
"Kid? Wait, you mean...?" The Fourth Hokage chuckled.
"That's right... I am Minato... your father." Naruto's feels numb after hearing that. He knows about the fourth Hokage sacrificing his own life for him. Instead of feeling happy and giving him an embrace... he punched his father in anger. He has resentment towards the man who sealed the Fox Demon inside him.
"Why did you seal the damn Kyuubi in your own son!? Do you know how tough its been living like that?! I'm happy, I'm pissed as hell, I don't know what to feel!" Naruto feels tears coming out of his eyes. Minato held his stomach and looked at his son in sympathy.
"Naruto...how old are you?"
Naruto wiped away his tear to answer his father's question. "Sixteen."
"Sixteen, wow...I've...I've caused you a lot of pain, Naruto. I'm sorry...I've caused you nothing but grief...Some father I am...All I can do is apologize." Naruto's eyes dried up and gives a false smile.
"Whatever...I'm the Fourth Hokage's son. I can take it."
The Fourth smiled in knowing sympathy. "I sealed half of the demon fox's chakra in you because I knew you'd learn to use it someday...Because you were my son."
"I had a very good reason for it...Sixteen years ago, when it first attacked the village, I learned something."
"What?"
"That Xehanort has returned."
"Xehanort?" Naruto questioned. "You know him? Did he..." Minato shook his head.
"No... it was a man from the Atasuki." His face then grew serious. "But now, Xehanort and Organization XIII poses a bigger threat than the Atsasuki. You and Sora must stop him..."
"How do you know about Sora?" He asked.
"No time to explain but. You and he can do it."
"But why? I mean I can buy people believing in Sora. He stopped Xehanort before but what can I do?"
"You'll figure it out, Someday." He smiled. He then puts his hands on his son's head in pride. "Once you wake up... you will be healed from all the injuries the Uchiha brat gave you. I believe in you.'
"Y-you do?" Naruto questioned.
"Hey, a parent always believes in their kid, no matter what." He smiled. Naruto hugged his father with tears coming out of his eyes.
"Now, it's almost time for me to go...my chakra's running out..."
He placed his hand on his son's heart, which was still hurting. "I'll redo the seal...but this will be the last time... may your heart be your guiding key." He starts to fade away. Minato then remembers something.
"Oh...tell Haru and Aki I said Hi..." Naruto quirked an eyebrow in confusion.
"Who are they?"
Minato chuckles and says... "Sora's parents." Then he disappears and Naruto's jaw dropped. "He... he knew Sora's parents?"
Sasuke opened his eyes after the beam of light woke him up. He holds his head for a brief moment. He then looks at Naruto's body again to see he is still unconscious. He feels the wall to see if it is still up. He feels nothing but air. He smirks and grabs Naruto. He wields his Keyblade and smirks.
"Well... this is the end for you, Naruto... Farewell..." His weapon makes his way to stab Naruto's heart, however... he feels someone grabbing his fist. Sasuke gasped and looks to see Naruto. A magic aura surrounded his body. and pushes Sasuke off and flips over. Sasuke tried his dark fireball jutsu but Naruto used the reflect spell. Naruto then shouts "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto screamed as cloned twenty of himself all of them throwing Keyblades with Thunder and fire. Sasuke blocked most of the incoming attacks with his Keyblade and dodged the rest. He then countered by means of throwing the Keyblade, destroying five of the clone Narutos'.
He then attacked the remaining copies, destroying them with single sword strikes. But then another twenty Narutos attacked with the real Naruto supporting them. He then leaps at Sasuke with a mighty blow. Then Sasuke tried to hit him with his sword but Sora counterattacked.
Naruto then punched him in the face then kicked him making Sasuke fall down. Sasuke was really angry. He charges at Naruto.
"Time to do the move I learned from Sora..." He thought as he shouts "SONIC BLADE!" He shouted and runs past Sasuke six times. Sasuke stands up and growls and tries to hit him but Naruto keeps dodging him and dodging him. He then says "Stop." It froze Sasuke temporarily. Naruto turned to one of his clones who nodded knowing what he is thinking.
A spinning blue ball came out of Naruto's hands and slammed his former Teammate. Sasuke got up but he clutches onto his heart. He growls at the blond-haired Ninja.
"Damn it. I'm running out of Chakra. I can't destroy them both unless I have more. I have no choice. retreat. Saix can take care of Sora all on his own..." He uses his hand to open a dark corridor.
"This..." He panted. "This isn't the end, dobe." He declared. "I will destroy you and the village." Naruto was to jump him but he disappeared as the corridor faded. Naruto Clenched his fist in frustration. He stares at the sky, thinking about not keeping his promise to Sakura.
"Sakura... it's gonna be a while before I make your promise." He looks down and then remembers Sora, Aladdin, and Cassim are in the cavern. He opens the cavern door and runs to his friends.
They arrive at the power chamber which was an enormous room, decorated with enormous granite statues of griffins. Near the doorway, a large statue of the rod of the Oracle presided over the room. But the real eye-catcher was a floating golden hand, suspended fifty feet in the air and rotating slowly. Sora was using his Keyblade to use it like a torch.
"So, how far we till the treasure?" He asked.
"Not far." Cassim. said. They heard footsteps running.
"Someone is coming." Sora said. He and Aladdin hid behind a door. Aladdin pounds his fist in preparation. Aladdin gives him a signal. Sora nods and was about to jump on the
Intruder but stopped just in time to see his friend Naruto. Sora sighed with relief.
"Naruto... I am so glad you made it." Sora studies his concerned face. "Judging from your face... Sasuke got away." Naruto put his head down.
"Yeah... and he almost killed me..." Naruto then smiled a little. "My dad saved me." Sora's eyes widen.
"What?"
"I'll tell you later." Naruto said. He walked with Sora and Aladdin and Cassim to find the Hand of Midas.
They arrive at the power chamber which was an enormous room, decorated with enormous granite statues of griffins. Near the doorway, a large statue of the rod of the Oracle presided over the room. But the real eye-catcher was a floating golden hand, suspended fifty feet in the air and rotating slowly.
Suddenly, another tremor shook the entire Vanishing Isle, knocking everyone off their feet.
"I guess the Genie got carried away." Sora said.
"It's the Vanishing Isle! The turtle is diving! We must climb higher!" Cassim shouted. Sora smirked "No problem." As he jumped to higher ground. Higher then Sora, Aladdin and Cassim. Naruto chuckled.
"Show off." He and Aladdin muttered before he jumped into Sora's position.
"A pity I didn't find this place years ago." Cassim commented. "This would be much easier if I were much younger."
Naruto and Sora jumped and landed beside the statue. Be careful!" Cassim warned. "Don't touch the golden hand!"
Sora nodded and picked the Hand of Midas up by its wooden handle. He was looking at in awe.
"Oh Cassim, catch." Sora yelled. As he threw the hand of Midas to Cassim who caught it with his cape. Instantly, the cape turned to gold on contact with the Hand.
"Ha ha! The Hand of Midas!" Cassim laughed and touched the Hand to the griffin statue beneath his feet. Instantly, the entire room-even the water-was turned to gold. But then, water began to break through the walls of the room as the turtle dove deeper into the abyss.
"Time to go, boys!" Cassim called.
"Nobody's going anywhere!" A voice called. Sora, Aladdin and Naruto turned around and see Salluk show up and tackle Aladdin.
"Salluk." Naruto growled. Salluk snickered. He looks at to his former leader.
Give me the Hand of Midas, Cassim!" Salluk threatened. "Or your son and his friends die!" Salluk yells.
"Salluk you're battle is with me." Cassim called out
"Don't worry, Dad. We can take him alone." Said Aladdin.
Cassim looked from Sora to Aladdin, then finally back to the Hand. At last, he reached his decision.
"But you're not alone... not anymore..."You want the Hand of Midas, Salluk?" he called. "Take it!"
Cassim tossed the Hand across the room. Salluk instantly pushed past Sora and seized the golden hand.
"The Hand of Midas is mine!" Salluk cackled. "And also the life of your friend."
No one moved. Their eyes were fixed upon the Hand of Midas. "What are you staring at?" Salluk demanded.
"You're turning into gold, you idiot." Said Naruto.
Salluk watched in horror as his entire body slowly turned to gold, beginning where his hand touched the Hand of Midas. In another second or two, his entire body was a golden statue, frozen with its last horror-stricken expression on its face. The statue fell from the large hand and into the amber-colored waters below. They feel the aisle shaking.
"We gotta get out of here!" Naruto said. He crossed his hands and shouted. "Shadow clone Jutsu!" A Bunch of Clones appeared.
"Quick, throw us up to the roof." The original Naruto told him. The clones nodded and grabbed the original Naruto, Sora, and Cassim up on the roof.
Naruto was the first to leap out of the skylight, with, Sora, Aladdin, and Cassim close behind. Aladdin removed the Hand of Midas from its makeshift wrapping and handed it to Cassim. "After all these years, you finally have your treasure."
"No.."This wretched thing almost cost me the ultimate treasure. It's you, son. You are my ultimate treasure. I'm sorry it took me this long to realize it. The Hand of Midas can take its curse to the bottom of the sea!"
To emphasize his point Cassim threw it down to the sea.
"Sora, Naruto, Aladdin." A voice called them. They looked up and is relieved to see that Jasmine, Donald, and Goofy are flying on the carpet safely. They watch the Vaninshing aisle sinking. Naruto thought of something.
"Where's Genie?" Asked Naruto.
Then the Turtle's mouth opened up and Genie flew out of it... in the form of King Mickey's Timeless River self, he is whistling turkey in the straw. Sora, Donald, and Goofy all looked at each other in confusion.
"Eh... it's Genie. Let's ignore it."
"Genie?"
Genie flew up beside Carpet with a huge grin. "Present!"
"Let's go home." Aladdin looked at his fiancé with love, "We have some unfinished business." Sora and Naruto smiled and looked at each other.
Later that night, The wedding continued as they went to normal routines. Aladdin and Jasmine went back to wearing their wedding clothes. Sora stands behind Aladdin with Naruto behind Sora and Aladdin and Jasmine sealed their marriage. Genie sniffs then he grabs Donald and is about to dry his tears with him but Donald cleared his voice and gives him a hanky. Sora and Naruto were looking around at a pillar. He walks over to her.
"Hey, Cassim." Cassim turns around. It was Sora and Naruto walking over to him. "Thanks for coming..." Cassim chuckled. Sora nodded. Iago then files and lands on his shoulder.
"You joining him, Iago?" Sora asked.
"Yeah... after I helped him attempt to steal the oracle. There's probably a wanted list with my picture." Cassmim chuckled.
"Before I take off, Sora... is your father by any chance... Haru." Sora's eyes widen.
"That's my dad's name... How did..."
"He saved me." Cassim said. "Before I met my wife, I was out on an adventure with him." He said before he took off. Sora was stunned.
"My... dad came here?" He questioned. He stood still for a moment. If his father traveled to different worlds... why didn't he tell him?
"Sora..." He didn't notice Naruto's hand waving. Then Naruto shook his body. "SORA!" Sora moved his head then turned it to Naruto.
"Yeah?"
"C'mon... we better say goodbye to Aladdin and Jasmine." Sora nodded as they walk back to the palace reception with Aladdin and Jasmine mingling. Sora goes to Aladdin's side and shook hands.
"Before we head back, Aladdin. I just wanna say... hope you and Jasmine have a great life together." Aladdin pulled Sora's arm and embraced him.
"Thanks, Sora... you've been like a brother to me. You were chosen by the Keyblade for a reason. You will save the world again... you will stop Xehanort." Sora smiled and hugs him one more time before following Naruto.
"Congratulations again... Al." He added that one. He looks over at Genie.
"Hey, Genie... if we need ya, I'll call you." Genie smiled and zapped him a Heartbinder and throws it to him.
"By the way, that is on the house." He smiled. Sora waved goodbye to his friends and watches Aladdin and Jasmine fly away with Cassim and Iago riding off.
Naruto told his story of his fight with Sasuke and how his father saved him. He was amazed at how Minato was able to help him and that he knows about Xehanort but what really shocks him is this...
"So... your father said that he knows my parents?" Naruto nodded.
"Yeah..." Sora shook his head in confusion.
"But... how?" He asked. "As far as I know... my parents lived in Destiny Islands all my life!"
"Maybe Naruto's father knew about world traveling and met your dad, Sora." Goofy suggested. Sora sighed and looked at the calender from his world.
"Well, my parents are out of town this weekend. We can't ask them now." He said. Naruto scratched his head and then snapped his fingers.
"I know... we can ask Grandma Tsunade if she knows."
"Good idea, Naruto." Sora said. He flies the gummi ship in reverse and sets his destination towards Naruto's hometown.
At a beach in the dark realm. Aqua, one of the missing Keyblade Masters is sitting on the beach with a man in a black coat. She grew to listen to his story of his past. He stares at the ocean before turning to Aqua.
"Tell me, will you stay here?" The man asked her. The Keyblade Master shook her head.
"The Destiny Islands." Hearing that made Aqua jump.
"You've heard of them?"
"Oh yes.." The hooded man smiled. "They are quite lovely…a far cry from this wasteland," Aqua smiled smiled and returned her head to watch the ocean currents.
"I'm staying. Someone will come for me." Aqua said.
"These waters are the in-between of dark and light, its shores the margins of day and night. They brought you and I together, so why not also you and another?"
"Yes." Aqua turns to look up to the sky and closes her eyes.
"Have you ever heard of the world called "Konoha?" She asked.
"Oh yes..." the man answered. "But I never traveled there. I've heard it from a friend. A world with Ninjas... it sounds interesting."
"It is." Aqua confirmed. She smiled at the memory of the visit.
"And I also heard of the Nine-tailed beast being sealed in the body of a young lady." Aqua nodded.
"Yeah, I met her.. back when I was training to be a Keywielder... I met this woman named Kushina and her husband. She has pregnant with her child.. that was the only time I've seen her but she was a fiery woman but she had a good heart."
"Hmmm..." The man. "Fascinating." Her face then lowered.
"She also told me that she lost her brother..." She said sadly.
"Brother?" Before she could answer some more. She sensed another presence.
"Who's there?" She asked. She turned around to see a figure walking towards them. It was Ansem, the seeker of Darkness.
"You…"
"Master...I must have a word with you.", he said as the hooded man took off his hood, revealing to be a man with straight blonde hair and red eyes.
"Master?" The man known as Ansem questioned. "So now you mock me..."
"Do you recall the experiments of the hearts you bade me ceased?" He asked.
"Among the test subjects was a girl. She had lost her memory, just as I had. But...you can reconstruct memories. You did with Sora. I believe you have seen the girl's memories."
"What is your question?" He asked the man who took his name.
"Where did you put the girl?" He asked. Ansem was confused.
"What girl?" Ansem smiled, knowing that he won't give him the answer so he can do this his way.
"Very well." Before he could grab his former master. He felt hands push him out of the way. He sees Aqua was the one who pushed them.
"I think you should go." She growled.
"A lost guardian of light?..." He smirks evilly. "You wait here...for the King and his fool." Xehanort's Heartless crosses his arms with a smile, and the earth shakes as a black creature with glowing yellow eyes makes an appearance from the ground behind him. The Dark Figure felt familiar to Aqua but she didn't have time to react as reaches back with its muscular arms and punches Aqua away. She lands on her feet on the sand.
"Where is your Keyblade?"
"Don't need it." Aqua declared. She runs over and gives it a kick on it's stomach. She jumps up to attack again the but the guardian grabbed her legs. Ansem didn't want to see her killed waved.
"No more... I'll go." Xehanort's Heartless smirked.
"You are wise." He looks up to see Aqua escaped and made her towards him but he blocks her as she leaped off near the water.
"Poor thing... I mustn't leave you here with nothing." His guardian figure created a giant orb and shoots at the former Keyblade master causing her to scream into fall into the dark ocean. Ansems watches from afar and falls to his knees. Aqua, meanwhile was falling down, feeling the darkness taking over her heart.
"What... what is this feeling?"
Wow... that was even sadder than in the games. And what's this? Aqua has been to Konoha? What? We will find out more later. For now, Sora and the gang are heading back to the Hidden leaf village. And Sora will spar with a a member of Team 8. Who is it? Is it Kiba, Shino or Hinata? You'll find out. Until then... take care. BTW RIP Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried. This arc was a tribute to you two. God bless you both and may your hearts be your guiding keys.
