Hello guys and dolls, I have retired with a new chapter for you all. So last time, the group reunited with King Mickey and learned a shocking truth. The man who Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeated who they thought was Ansem…was not actually Ansem, but a Heartless, and it turns out the imposter who stole Ansems name also had a Nobody who was revealed to be the leader of Organization XIII.
Finally, Cloud and Tifa return with Merlin, and after pleading with Ruby. Merlin uses his magic to tell them about a man named Ozma and a woman named Salem. What will they discover? Let us find out.
Ok…so here we go….the truth behind Ozma and Salem. This is one I was planning for a while now. Originally I was going to have it take place at Merlin's House, with the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee watching as well. But I decided that now would be good and it would lead up to the battle of 1000 Heartless.
So like in the episode, the group will be watching the events of Ozma and Salem's life. Rather than Jinn's voice, Merlin's voice will narrate the story... And there might be some commentary from the group. I'll do my best…oh boy.
Also if you all didn't know…we lost Paul Reubens a week ago today…the guy was literally my childhood. I didn't see much of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, but I did see Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. I still need to watch Big Top Pee-Wee at some point. Anyways, RIP Paul Reubens, we will never forget the childhood memories you gave to us all.

Tower
The entire group was looking at the woman with confusion. Who was this? Was this Salem? "Locked away in a tower by her cruel father." Said Merlin's voice, making everyone look around.
"Merlin?" Sora asked as they all looked around.
"Salem was a young girl who desired only one thing." He said as the others then looked back at Salem, who looked out the window in longing. "Freedom." Salem then sighed with a frown as she walked, with everyone looking at her.
"She's beautiful…" Sora said with awe.
"Salem lived in a time where kings and their kingdoms were plentiful, and when men and women were capable of doing greatness." Salem then walked over to a bench. "And magic was a gift from the gods that everyone could wield.'' They then saw Salem looking up as a brightly colored ball of magic appeared in her hands, making everyone surprised.
"I.." Ruby muttered. "I never knew everyone on Remnant used to wield magic…" She was pretty shocked by the one revelation already, but she was not the only one, as Jaune and Sun were also pretty startled by the Thai revelation as well.
"And despite having that gift…she still sat in her tower." Merlin's voice said as the smoke then swept them all away again and the scenery began to change.
Castle
The smoke swept the entire group to another part of the setting, which was a grounded area with a castle overlooking it. "Until one day, a legendary hero came to brave through the towers' walls" The smoke then conjured a young man with a medium-dark skin tone. messy brown hair, and brown eyes. His attire consisted of a blue-green tunic with a tan undershirt, a blue cape, and black trousers with brown boots, and overneath, he was wearing metal armor that was being held by brown belts and straps. And the armor was shown to be etched with ornamental patterns, and he was shown carrying a long scepter that had an ornate brown staff with metal details on it, a floral design, and topped with an emerald gem. "Everyone knew him…as Ozma."
The group then got a good look at the man who had winded eyes. So this man…was Ozma? Sora got in front of the man and waved his hand in front, but it seems the man didn't pay the boy any attention. Ozma then walked right past him and onto the castle. "Unlike those who came before him," The group then saw many other knights linger on the ground to the castle as Ozma kept on walking. "This warrior was not driven by the prize of the young maiden's hand. He only fought for righteousness and the pure kindness of his heart and his courage had prevailed."
The group was then shown where Ozma blasted a soldier away with his scepter, making them look in awe. "Wow!" Mickey exclaimed with awe. And was even more shocked when they were shown Ozma rescuing Salem and they both used their magic to get free. "Their magic is impressive!"
"Even better than mine…" Donald muttered in shame.
Then they saw the two run away from the castle and stopped for a moment to catch their breaths. "Something had bound them both together." Merlin's voice said. "For Ozma was willing to give his life for justice many times in danger. But now, he saw a woman that was worth saving." At that, Ozma and Salme both looked at each other in longing. "And for Salem, she has finally gotten the freedom she wanted. But not of the outside world that she wanted…but for the love of the man who had come to resume her."
"So…where should we go now?" Salem asked.
Ozma smiled and took her hand into his own. "Wherever you wish." He said as the scene began to change again.
Ruby was shocked, for she had been told a similar story as a younger girl by her mother Summer Rose. the story of the Girl in the Tower…and she was witnessing it beforehand
"The two deeply fell in love, and planned many adventures around the world, and lived happily ever after." Merlin said. "Of course…I wish I could say that." He said.
"Oh great…" Max dejectedly said. "There's a catch in it." He said
Ozma's Room
The group was transported to a bedroom, where Ozma was laying down on a bed, eyes closed, and Salem knelt by his side, clutching his scepter in her hands. "Ozma, the hero of legend…had fallen ill." Merlin said. "And in a place where all beasts and the blades of the world had fallen short…a single sickness had prevailed against him.
Salem was crying as he called the scepter in her hands. "How could the gods let this happen?" She wept.
The group was sorry for her. This man rescued her from prison..and he died..what a tragedy. Sora thought about when he rescued Kairi..what would happen if they were in that predicament? What if he was to actually die? And for her to survive?
Ruby, Jaune, and Sun thought of what Salem said…Gods…they heard stories of the two gods…but they were said to be myths..is this true? "Then, the gods, brothers of both light and darkness." Then two orbs of both light and dark began to circle around the group, the creations of both creations and destruction…Salem would pray that they would see the injustice that had befallen her beloved and make things right again."
The group had a very bad feeling about that whole sentence. They didn't know yet, but something in them was thinking that this was going to lead to something very bad…and they were engulfed with smoke once again.
Domain of Light
The smoke conjured up a setting that looked peaceful, almost as if they were at another destination. They saw Salem walking along a path with a bouquet of lovely-looking flowers. "The Domain of Light was a sacred place." Salem then placed the flowers on a step as she also carried Ozma's staff with her and went right up the stairs. "For you see, it was here that the elder brother had dwelled, basking in his fountain of light and creation." Salem then picked up Ozma's staff and began walking up the stairs, with the others watching. "And unfortunately, it was here that mankind in Remnant would fall."
The others followed her up the stairs to see that they were now overlooking a large fountain-like pond surrounded by many different yellow flowers and at the center was a tree with yellow leaves, the sight itself made the others awe.
"Wow.." Donald said with awe.
"It looks pretty!" Tifa said with awe in her voice. But the more serious ones had a look of dread when Merlin said that this was where humanity would fall to ruin…what did that mean? And the teens of Remnant were also curious by that cryptic sentence…well, they were going to know what was going to happen…
"But..why is she going to see one of the gods?" Sora asked with a tilt of his head. And it didn't take a detective to know what some of them were thinking.
"She's going to ask him to bring Ozma back to life…" Mickey said in a serious tone of voice, making the rest of the group look surprised. Can…could he really do that? Could he really bring back the love of her life? The one who saved her from her prison?
The only one who had a clear thought of this was Jaune…maybe…just maybe…if they were to go back to Remnant…maybe he could- but then his thoughts were interrupted by some of the leaves blowing off of the tree and landing right in the pond, with a glowing light shining out and a figure emerging from the water below. Ouf of the water emerged a humanoid being of light gold covering his entire body, he didn't appear to wear any clothes or shoes though, but he did have a crown of branching antlers on his head. This figure was the God of Light.
The sight of the god made the group all go wide-eyed, never in their lives had they seen a figure like this. Of course, Sora, Donald, and Goofy see Hercules and Hades, but there was something different about this figure.
Ruby, Jaune, and Sun were even more shocked because they were literally seeing the god of Light for the first time ever! "I was told stories as a kid…" Jaune began. "We thought the gods were myths….but no…we are literally-"
"Staring at-" Sun said next.
Ruby finally said. "A God!" She said with awe on her face, and some of her face actually spoke excitement. She couldn't wait to tell everyone about what she had seen when they got them back. Oh, this was so exciting. Of course, she wanted answers…but still though! Nothing could beat this!
The God of Light then stepped forward to Saelm, his feet walking across the water, and Saem got on her knees and gave the god a pleading look. "Please, I beg you…bring my beloved back to me." She said in a sad whimper.
The Good didn't have a mouth so it was hard to see his expression, but his voice did though. "I understand the pain you're in." He said to her in a soft tone of voice. "But the request you demand of me is one that I can't bring." He said. This made the group look at him with shock, was he refusing to bring Ozma back? Why? There had to be a logical reason, right? "Life and death are both part of a delicate balance."
Saem looked at him and she looked even more upset, she looked at the staff and then at the ground, her face streaming with some tears. "So then…you won't do it?" she asked in a whimper.
The god sighed a bit. "If the cycle was to be dis-"
"But it's not fair!" Salem said to him, now feeling angry. "He saved my life from my prison! He was my everything! IT'S NOT FAIR!" she shouted, her voice so loud that some of the leaves shook.
The group watching was very shocked at this, it was bad enough that she was arguing with a god, but to outright yell at him? That was just nuts!
Some of them thought about what he said to her before, about how death and life are part of a cycle…and as much as they didn't want to admit it…the god was right. We are born, we live, and we die…it's a part of life.
Cloud remembered when he lost his best friend Zack, and he fist clenched a bit. Despite not wanting to admit it, the god was right. He wished Zack could come back ...but he knew that Zack was gone, and he figured that he deserved his rest. Tifa looked at him and held onto his hand comfortingly.
The God of Light didn't say anything, and since he had no face..it was hard to tell his reaction to the outburst. But he did say something to her. "Let. Him. Rest…" He said as the leaves then viewed right over him, and Salem and the group watching found themselves back at the entrance of the domain.
The group found themselves feeling bad for this woman. All she wanted was for her lover to come back to her, and yet she was denied. Of course many did understand that death was a part of life ...but it still sucked more than everything else in the world. Jaune thought back to Pyrrha, and Ruby thought of her mother and Penny…and both of them clench their fists tightly.
Salem looked around and then at the staff and gripped it tight. "No…" she whispered, in a voice that spoke of determination, and the smoke began to change the scenery once again. As it changed, many of them felt a bit of dread…this was not going to be good.
Land of Darkness
The group was now in an area that spoke of danger, the place was nothing but pure black and red, and they could feel darkness radiating out of this place, making them all a bit nervous. Sure this was a memory…sorta, but it was still unnerving.
"The land of darkness, the home of the God of Darkness." Merlin's voice said as they saw Salem walk over to a nearby skeleton. "No one would dark enter his domain, as many men and women knew of the monstrosities that emerged from within." The smoke then caused the serenity to change, and the gorup found themselves in front of a large pool of dark liquid, totally the opposite of what they had previously seen before.
Mickey looked around and felt himself saying a bit, this was starting to bring back some memories of his time in the Realm of Darkness ...but this place ...this looked far, far worse. He wants to get his keyblade, but at the same time he knows that it was all an illusion.
"Keep it together…" Mickey thought as he tried to calm himself down. "Keep it together…"
He and the others looked to see Salem, carrying Ozma's staff and kneeling down to the large black pool. Soon, a figure began to emerge from its bubbly surface. A purple humanoid figure with ram-like horns on his head as he emerged from the pool, his body making several cracking noises almost as if his body was disjointed. This figure? The God of Darkness.
The god made the entire group shudder and become a bit terrified. Even the normally stoic Leon and Cloud were trembling a bit at the sight of this…this…abomination! And it didn't help that when the god got up, the creatures of Grimm began to emerge.
"Everyone," Ruby said to the others. "The creatures of Grimm…" She said with dread. Sora and the others looked at these new creatures with some nervousness on their faces. These Grimm were much different from Heartless, they didn't understand why, but there was something else about the Grimm…feeling a bit…unnatural than the Heartless.
"And I thought some of the many different Heartless we fought looked weird…" Sora said, feeling a bit nervous about the Grimm, and he wasn't the only one either. Donald and Goofy were hugging each other nervously, Mickey and Oswald were both shaking a bit out of nervousness, Ortensia was shaking with absolute fright, with Oswald holding her protectively, Max was trembling in fear, Stitch was shaking a bit but he was also growling viciously at the Grimm, challenging any of them to come forward and try to attack them. Leon, Cloud, and Tifa were nervous as well, but they kept their brave faces on and glared at all the Grimm.
Their thoughts on the Grimm were interrupted as the God of Darkness approached Salem. "The young woman had told the God of Darkness about the loss and she knew that he had the answer to her prayers." Merlin said as Saelm then raised the staff towards the god.
"Oh no!" Mickey gasped as he watched. "She is going behind the other brother's back!" He said with worry. "This was not going to end well, for her or Ozma." The group was now watching with worry on their faces, and the mouse was right…this was not going to end well.
The dark brother then spoke. "Rise, child." He said in a soft tone of voice. "And let your faith in me be rewarded." He said as he then extended his hand and it began to glow a dark purplish light. After a few minutes of flashing lights, the familiar sight of Ozma appeared and fell right on the ground.
Salem sighed in relief as she ran over to greet her beloved, who still had his eyes closed. But when he opened them up, he then gasped for air and looked around frantically. "Wh-What? Where am I? What is-? But he was stopped by a kiss on his lips, courtesy of Salem.
"It's alright," she said with a tearful smile. "You're alright now." She said to him with a gentle smile, and she could be even more her beloved was back, the one who saved her…was finally back to her.
The group, while feeling a bit happy for her, was also worried, for what if the other brother found out about this? This was not going to end well at all for them.
*Thunder Booming*
They all heard thunder and turned to see the god of Light standing a few feet away from them all. "Oh no.." the Travelers of Light and their allies said in unison in fear. They knew that this was eventually going to happen, but right at this very moment? Oh boy…
The God of Light looked down at them all and grabbed his fists tightly. "What have you done?" He asked.
The God of Darkness chuckled. "I have done what I please, brother." He said as the Light Brother made his way towards them all. "You may be able to bask away in your powers of creation. But you do not own them."
"This is not creation!" the God of Light exclamation to him, but the other brother was not having any of it.
"Don't you lecture me!" He exclaimed as the Grimm began to make their way toward the God of Light. The Grimm is getting ready to take him down.
But the God of Light, while not having any face, was not intimidated in the slightest. "In order to maintain order…I will do what I must." He said as he extended his hand towards Ozma and the man began to glow a yellow aura around his body. All around Ozmas body, he began to crack and after a few seconds…he vanished into light ashes.
The group was shocked by this. How could the light god do this? Of course, sure balance had to be in order…but to take away a loved one? That was just cruel! And the anguished cries of Salem didn't help either. Tifa grasped Cloud's hand and held it tightly as tears went down her face, and Cloud hugged her. Oswald did the same thing to Ortenisa.
Sora, while feeling sad, was worried…as he imagined himself and Kairi in that position…that would never happen to them…right? All he could do was close shi eyes and feel sorry for the woman.
The God of Darkness clenched his fists. "You dare enter my domain, and show me disrespect?" He exclaimed as he then stood his fingers and Ozma was back in Salem's arms, making the woman happy again.
"I am abiding by the laws that we both agreed upon." the God of Light told him.
"Laws that I see are now in your favor." the God of Darkness said as he then began to change shape his voice became lower and more..demonic. "And yet, the day a mortal comes into my domain and prays at my feet, you dare come into my domain and make a judgment on me." He then took on the shape of a large dragon-like creature. The sight made the entire group nervous and shocked.
"Looks like Bahamut…" Cloud thought as his grip on Tifa tightened a bit.
Then the Grimm ran towards the God of light and attempted to strike him down, but the God of Light simply shined a bright aura blast around him, destroying the Grimm around him and he as well turned into a creature that resembled a dragon and looked at his brother.
"We have our differences, I'll admit. But I didn't come here with the attempt to control you." He said as he gave a sigh. "However, I can't say the same about her." He said as he gestured to Salem. "The woman named Salme came to me first, and after I denied her claims, that is when she came to you and begged." He said to him, "Her please would have disrupted the balance that you and I created together."
The group was now a bit. Of course, there had to be some sort of balance..but this was…well there was no way to describe it all. Whatever the case…this was not going to end well for anyone.
The God of Darkness looked at Salem and then back at his brother. "Well then..it seems I owe you an apology." He then turned to Salem and reared his head back. "Allow me to fix my mistake."
"NO!" Salme shouted as the God of Darkness fired a dark blast from his mouth at the couple, after a few seconds, the blast vanished and while Salem was sprayed, Ozma was reduced into a pile of ashes. Salem's ways ended in shock...the love of her life was taken from her dance again..thanks to two gods. "You monsters…" she whispered. "YOU MONSTERS!" She shouted angrily at them. "BRING HIM BACK!" She shouted as she was engulfed in blue lightning, and it made everyone gasp in shock. Was she really going to fight the gods? This wasn't going and it wasn't going to end well. But then the smoke changed the scenery once again
Domain of Light
But then the scene changed once again and the group was back at the God of Light's domain. "This is too much.." Sora said as the others shared shi statements.
"I…I don't know this would be such a sad story." Ruby said as she looked down. "But there's still more we need to know." She said with some determination…"We need answers..and we need them right now." She said as the group looked at her with some concern.
Jaune was quiet for the most part, but he too shared her statement. He needs to know…he just had to.
"When you came to me, I did pity you." They all turned to see Salem, now laying in the pond with both gods standing and looking down at her. "But it is your selfishness and arrogance that has led you astray." The God of Light said to her.
Salem got up, now a bit worried, but not before she saw her hands glowing a bit. "W-what did you do to me?" She asked with shock.
"I made you immortal." the God of Light said to her. Salem looked at him with disbelief, no this was not turned…he said that to scare her right? Right?
"Meaning you can't die." the God of Darkness said. "And you can't be with your beloved." Then the two gods said something together.
"As long as the world is spinning." They said together. "You shall forever walk it." when they said this, Salme was in disbelief. How could they do this to her? How could they refuse to let her be with her beloved Ozma?
The others were sota thinking the same thing as well. Sure what she did was selfish, but to be cursed with eternal life, not being able to be with your loved ones? That was a fate even worse than death.
"Until You learn the importance of life and death..then you shall finally rest." the God of Light said to her. This made Salem both gasp, worried, and horrified by this whole thing.
"Once again, Salem was nothing but a prisoner." Merlin's voice said.
Ozma's Room
The group was transported by eh smoke to Ozma's room, where Salem was shown with a sword in her hand. "Many times, Salem has tried everything to be reunited with Ozma..but all efforts were fruitless, and were seen as nothing but acts of defiance and spite toward the gods." As Merlin said this, Salem took the sword…and plunged it right in her stomach.
The sight made the group cringe, Ruby covered her mouth in shock, and Ortenisa and Tifa turned and put their head on their prospective loved ones shoulders to block the image. Salem however did not die and the wound closed itself, but not before a bit of blood came out though. "However, maybe the gods were not as powerful as one might think." Salem then walked towards the window, with the bloody sword in her hand and he looked out the window. "For she was able to lie to them, and turn them against each other, even if it was for a moment or two…they were fallible.
Salem then looked out to a castle from the distance and sighed. "She then began to think…if she could turn humanity against the gods…then she could be rid of her curse, or she could make them suffer like her."
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Cloud shouted, shocking everyone. "You're going to make everyone else suffer just because of something you did?" He asked in anger, and he had a point. Salem was the one who manipulated the gods, and because she messed up…she was going to do whatever it takes to be with Ozma…even at the expense of many other innocent people. The group was glazing at the woman in anger.
Throne Room
The group was now shown to a palace where Salme was surrounded by many kings and queens, soldiers and many others. "To get her plan in motion. Salem had traveled to many other kingdoms and displayed her immortality to many others, calling them to use their weapons on her.'' The group is shown to the soldiers testing it by stabbing her, slicing her name. And even if she was fine from the strikes, it was still a cringeworthy sight for them all.
"Having been able to get their attention, Salem painted pictures of a time when they no longer had to see their loved one die, a time where there would be no more suffering. Having told them about how she stole immortality from the gods, they stated that they too could take their creator's powers for themselves…all they had to do was to destroy them."
When those words were said, the entire group was shocked and horrified. Was Salem really that petty and selfish that she was going to risk everyone's lives for the sake of bringing her beloved back? Sure the group had loved ones, but they would never do anything like this out of spite.
"This is going to end very, very, badly…" Max said with a nervous tone of voice, with the others nodding their heads in agreement.
Domain of Light
The group was back to the domain of light to witness many soldiers running up the stairs to go after the god of light, many of them stepping on the flowers Salme had placed there. The group was in shock.
"WAIT, STOP!" Sora called out. "Don't do this!" He tried to stand in front of them to stop them from going through this horrible plan, but everyone went right through him.
"Sora, it's a memory, we can't do anything about it!" Mickey said to him. But of course, he didn't like this either…these people were going to get themselves killed!
Ruby and the others looked in hopelessly, if they could get the chance, they would do whatever it took to stop this! But alas…it was no use…
As the soldiers ran up to the pond, the group noticed the god of Light emerge from the pond in his dragon form. "The gods were hoping that Salme would learn her lessons…and she did, but the wrong way." Merlin's voice said.
As Salem emerged in the middle of the group, she looked at God with fierce anger. "For she learned that the hearts of men and women…are easily swayed." The Travelers of Light looked at the scene with dread on their faces.
Leon's ist was clenched tightly. "It's bad enough she manipulated them, but now she is dragging others into their brown graves." He said with an angry scowl on his face. "All for the sake of bringing her lover back." the others agreed with him.
At this point, the God of Darkness also appeared in his dragon form and road at them all. Everyone present was not intimidated and Salem launched a magic attack at them both, and everyone else did the exact same thing. The ones who didn't have magic used weapons like bows and arrows. But did that scare the two brothers? Nope, they just absorbed the attacks, shocking everybody
The God of Darkness looked down at them all. "You dare use my own gift against me?" He asked in a dark growl as he then began to form a dark ball of purple light inside his mouth, the God of Light looked away in shame, and with a mighty roar, the God of Darkness launched a dark energy ball at the entire group of humans who dared feed him and his brother.
BOOM
The ball hit the humans and it was so great that it extended far and wide, through the entire corner of the entire world and everything was engulfed in purple light, blinding the Travelers of Light. After a few seconds, the light vanished and the travelers looked to see that every human in the place and world were all killed off, except for Salem, who looked around to see her army turned into nothing more than dust.
"No…no!" She said in horror. She couldn't let this end, that was not supposed to happen! She was supposed to win, Her! But then she was smacked by the god of Darkness, who then pressed his foot right onto her, and growled.
"You thought there was no greater punishment than the one we bestowed on you?" He asked darkly.
But Salem was not intimidated in the slightest as she gave him a fierce look. "I'll come back! I'll tell the world of this massacre and build a stronger army to take you down! You hear me?" She said to him,
The God of Darkness chuckled. "Child..there is no one left in the world. You are the only thing that remains of humanity." He said to her. As soon as he said that, this was when Salem's eyes winded at this revelation and was horrified.
And she was not the only one, the Travelers of Light were also pretty shocked at this. All of humanity…just gone…like that. Ruby was trembling and shaking at seeing the whole thing and fell to her knees. These gods…were very powerful…and it scared her. She was then engulfed in a cooldown hug by Ortensia, Mickey, and Tifa, trying to calm her down. Everyone else was shaking after seeing such a feat.
The God of Light signed. "This planet was a beautiful experiment…but now it is just a remnant of what once was." He said.
Ruby, Jaune, and Sun's eyes winded when he said that. A remnant of what it once was…That's…where the name of their world came from…REMNANT! The three teens were so shocked by this, that they didn't even know what to say.
"We shall learn from this failure." The God of Light said as he gave another sigh. "I hope that you will learn from this as well." He said soberly as he then began to vanish, along with his brother.
Salem gasped. "No, you can't leave! Come back!" she said, but the God of Light was already gone. "GET BACK HERE!" she shouted with anger.
The God of Darkness, who was also starting to vanish, chuckled darkly. "You still demand things from your creators?" He asked as with one mighty switch, he then vanished into a beam of purple light and shot right up into the sky. The group app looked up to see where he was going and he did something..
BOOM
The God of Darkness then crashed into the side of the moon, shattering half of it in mighty pieces. The Travelers of Light all saw this with shocked looks on their faces, the moon…it was partially destroyed! Jaune, Ruby, and Sun were the most shocked as their bodies trembled at seeing this. For most of their lives, they always wondered why the moon looked shattered, and now..they finally learned why the moon was shattered. The sight made them feel so..so..anxious and terrified.
Salem looked up and saw the moon shattered as the pieces all dropped onto the ground. Feeling her attempts were in vain, all she could do was get on her knees and ponder her actions. While the Travelers of Light felt a bit sorry for her, at the same time, they were furious at her for her plan for causing humanity's extinction, just for her own selfish reasons.
But this begged the question for Ruby. If humanity was wiped out…why were there people and Faunus in Remnant? Did the gods forgive them and bring them back? This was one of the many questions she had that she hoped could be answered.
Land of Darkness
The group was now in the God of Darkness's domain, with Salem walking through it, and she passed by many Grimm, who had now taken control of Remnant. "Salem was once again alone." Merlin's voice said. "She cursed the gods, she cursed the universe, everything she cursed except for herself."
This made the group angry. "She's the one who brought the extinction of humanity in that world!" Sora exclaimed, his voice breathing heavily as his fists clenched tightly. "And she feels like it's not her fault?" He was not the only one as many others shared his opinion. Of course, they did feel bad for her sling Ozma, but she was the one who tried to rebel against the gods just because of her trying to manipulate them.
"Salem ended up wandering the entire planet, waiting for a death that would possibly never come. Until by either fate or chance, had brought her back to the God of Darkness's domain." The group now saw Salme walk over to a ledge and looked down, seeing a large pool of black liquid.
"Grimm pools." The Remnant teens thought with alarm.
"That's the stuff that that darkness god came out of!" Donald exclaimed in horror. That was when the entire group thought about what she was going to do and it didn't take a detective to know what it was she was about to do.
Salem looked down with determination. "If the God of Lights pool granted immortality…the pool of darkness can take it away." She said, and much to the shock of the others, she then jumped right off and into the pool. "Finally, Ozma…you and I will soon be together once more." She thought happily.
But when she fell into the pool, she finally smiled. Finally, it was her chance… she and Ozma could be together again…everything was going to be alright…wrong.
Salem opened her eyes and was slashed a few times. "For the Grimm pools could not destroy a being of pure life." He said as the group, now standing over the pools on the ground, gasped as a hand shot up, as well as the rest of Salem's body. "It only created a being of pure destruction." Merlin said as Salem got out of the pool, her skin and hair now a white coloring, and her eyes were dark red…Salem no longer looked human…but now looked like a Grimm…
So, we are going to stop there folks. I hope I'm alright with this chapter.
Also sorry if it took me long…a lot of crap has been happening, I just lost my aunt about a few weeks back and I have been working on some other projects which led me to ignore this one for a while.
Anyway, I do hope this was an alright chapter for you guys. The next chapter will be the witnessing the rest of the story, and the chapter following will lead to the Battle of 1000 Heartless...as well as a lot of emotional outbursts
Also..I might get some flak for this…but I will not be putting in the optional boss battle against Sephiroth. Sorry guys, but it's hard enough trying to choreograph some fight scenes, and trying to choreograph Sephiroth would be an absolute nightmare to do.
I mean Sephiroth will appear though, but he and Cloud will have their fight like in the game.
Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions that you have for me.
See you all next time :)
