CHAPTER 15.10: Sora's Chain Of Memories Part 10

As Amity and Eda entered the memory frame. Naminé smiled with her eyes closed.

Naminé: Amity... You believe there is a light shining bright in her heart...

The fragmented Inner Sora voice echoes within Naminé's mind.

Inner Sora (KH1): Yes. I noticed the darkness in her heart was getting bigger, but the light immediately shone brighter. I believe Amity will come out of this strong and will work hard to be the person she wants to be. And I look forward to that.

Naminé: You always seem to pick your friends quite well.

Inner Sora (KH1): *chuckles* Now then, I think it's time you lend them a hand on beating Xemnas.

Naminé: Yes.

From the memory frame, the group appears in a nearly-empty void of shifting greys and whites. While marveling at the space, Luz decided to call out to Naminé.

Gus: Woah, get a load of this place.

Amity: Despite seeing all these patterns floating about, this place feels so... empty.

Eda: It does make sense somewhat. This whole "emptiness" schtick is kind of the Organization's thing.

Willow: But we're here to fight Xemnas. The sooner we beat him, the better.

Luz: Speaking of... Hey, Naminé. Where are we?

Naminé's voice echoes.

Naminé: This is The World of Nothing. Here, Xemnas made his last attempt to destroy Sora and Riku.

Luz: Sora AND Riku? They both fought him together?

Naminé: Yes. While Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey had escaped safely, Sora and Riku were ambushed by Xemnas and were taken here for their final battle.

Suddenly, a surrounding stream of white and black lights appeared in front of the group, and out came a man. This man is tall and seemingly muscular. He has golden eyes, his hair is long, reaching to about mid-back, silver in color, some of it falls over his shoulders, and it includes bangs. Interestingly, it also displays a layered, messy look and the spike on the top of his head. His outfit consists of a white coat covered with intricate black designs resembling the Nobody sigil. The man opens his eyes, sees the group in front of him, and gives off a look that resembles a glare. The group shuddered a bit, feeling somewhat intimidated.

Luz: So...this... Is Xemnas.

Eda: This could be tough, just like Ansem. You kids ready?

Willow/Gus/Amity: Yeah.

Naminé: Listen. Here is the strategy to defeat Xemnas.

Eda: Alright, what's the rub?

Naminé: Xemnas is proficient in close and distance combat. He will undoubtedly give you trouble, thanks to his variety of attacks. He will start strong by launching one of you in the air, so be on your guard. It is recommended that many of you attack simultaneously to keep Xemnas's focus constantly shifting. The more he's distracted, the easier it'll be to damage him.

Group: Okay.

Naminé: Xemnas has two primary attacks for close and distance. For close, he attacks with his dual ethereal blades, which he calls the Interdiction. They are straight, glowing rods of red energy coming from the palms of his hands. When striking a target, they create a sphere of glowing red lightning. These blades have a lingering burning effect, so be very cautious.

Luz: They burn?

Gus: Oh, geez.

Naminé: Eda, I highly recommend putting up those shields around each of you like before. Have them resistant to energy-based attacks. By doing so, you'll also be able to withstand his ethereal lasers, which he can summon and shoot from all directions.

Eda: Got it.

Naminé: Willow.

Willow: Yes?

Naminé: Your control of plant magic will be a great asset here. Xemnas can also summon thorned vines as beam attacks. Be sure to use your vines to keep his at bay.

Willow: Got it.

Naminé: That is all the information I can give you. Good luck.

Amity: Guys, get ready! Xemnas is about to start attacking!

[Play Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

The rest of the group focused on Xemnas as they saw him taking a stance. After a brief pause, Xemnas immediately dashes for Eda.

Luz: Eda, watch out!

Eda: Grr!

Before anyone can do anything, Xemnas uses his thorned vines to bind Eda and throws her into the air, just like Naminé said he would.

Eda: Wooaahh!

Teens: Eda!

Xemnas starts a series of aerial slash attacks. Fortunately, however, Eda recovers quickly and uses her palms to create a widespread shield to block each attack. Then, not wanting to keep the fight in the air forever, Eda delivers a roundhouse kick to Xemnas's chest, sending him down to the ground.

Luz: Alright, Eda!

Eda: Focus! Fight now!

Luz: Oh, right.

Luz and the other teens rush towards Xemnas with their respective attacks.

Luz: Remember! Keep him distracted!

Luz activates two fire glyphs on each hand to shoot at Xemnas, followed by Eda shooting a lightning bolt down towards him. The attacks seemed to have hit, but, like in previous battles, it will take more than that to bring him down for good. Xemnas stands on his feet and summons his Interdiction blades, and begins to slash away at Luz, but not before she activates multiple ice glyphs to create multiple walls of ice to block the attacks. The ice walls eventually shatter as Luz runs away, allowing Amity to tag in with her abomination.

Amity: Abomination, restrain!

The abomination, catching Xemnas by surprise, wraps its arms around him to trap him in a tight hold. Xemnas tried to use his Interdiction blades to cut through but couldn't seem to focus his energy even to summon the blades. So instead, he summons his thorned vines to try and cut through but can't keep his focus thanks to Willow summoning her thorned vines to whip across Xemnas's face left and right.

Amity: That's it! Keep attacking!

As the attacks continued, Xemnas seemed to have started getting angry and built up enough energy to implode the abomination.

Amity: *gasp*

Xemnas then shoots out an ethereal laser at Amity, hitting her stomach. Amity yelled out in pain as she was sent backward and landed on her back.

Willow: Amity!

Willow ran towards Amity.

Willow: Amity, are you okay?!

Amity: *groan* I'm... okay. Good thing that Eda put up these shields around us.

Willow huffs in agreement. Luz then joins for a brief moment.

Luz: Amity! You good?

Amity: Yeah.

Luz: Willow, help out Eda and Gus. I'll help Amity.

Willow: Okay.

Willow ran towards Eda and Gus as Amity tried to get up with struggle.

Luz: Amity, no. Not yet. You need to rest for a bit.

Amity: You gotta help...the others.

Luz gently lays Amity down.

Luz: They can handle themselves for a bit. I can't leave you here, open for Xemnas to attack.

Despite the shields protecting them from severe effects, Luz couldn't help but worry. She gently places her right hand on Amity's left hand.

Luz: *quick sigh* *thinking* I wish I had healing magic right now. I'd fix you up already.

Back with the battle, Xemnas teleports around the area, shooting his thorned vines all around while Willow uses hers to block Xemnas's.

Eda: *looking around* Come on! Stay still, you chump!

When Xemnas reappears, he creates a clone of himself, surprising everyone.

Willow: Did he just—?

Gus: An illusion?

Eda: Gotta be.

Gus: I got this one!

Gus creates an illusion construct of Sora. The illusion, resembling his time during his second adventure, attacks the Xemnas clone. The two clashed, resulting in them both disappearing. Xemnas was caught off guard, allowing Eda to launch a large fireball at him, landing the hit.

Eda: Yes!

Xemnas blows away the smoke with his arm, summons his Interdiction blades, and rushes toward Eda.

Eda: Uh oh!

Eda quickly summons multiple lightning bolts in hopes of pushing Xemnas away. While a few bolts managed to hit him, he still kept going. As he inched closer, Willow immediately summons a thorned vine to uppercut Xemnas and summons another to swat him far away.

[Pause Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

Eda: *phew* Nice one, kid. Thanks for the save

Willow: No problem.

Eda turns around and sees Luz and Amity. She immediately goes towards them, followed by Willow and Gus.

Eda: Hey, how is she?

Amity then sat up.

Luz: Doing better. Those lasers must be a lot more painful than we thought.

Eda: Geez. Where does it hurt?

Amity: Stomach.

Eda: Lemme see.

Eda then places her palm over Amity's stomach and emits a blue aura that uses healing magic.

Eda: Admittedly, I'm not good at healing magic, mainly because I take the pain to gain. But this should help out a bit.

Eda then stops as Amity starts to get on her feet.

Eda: Better?

Amity: Yes. Thank you.

Eda: Don't mention it.

Eda then looks at the other teens.

Eda: Okay, gather around. I'm strengthening our shields more. I won't be able to hurt Xemnas much because of this, but it's better than you kids getting hurt. So, the rest will have to give it your all even more.

Luz: I think we can manage that.

As Eda was increasing the shields' strength, Luz pulled one of each glyph card she had to ready herself against Xemnas, Amity cracked her knuckles, and Willow and Gus clenched their fists for a bit. After everything was done, they turned around to see where Xemnas was, but he was nowhere to be seen. That was until he appeared behind the group and attempted to deliver a devastating roundhouse kick toward Eda, shocking everyone.

Teens: Eda!

Eda: *sent flying* The shields work better! Don't worry about me! Fiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Luz: Now!

[Play Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

The teens turn around to attack Xemnas as he shot energy spheres to attack them, but that was thwarted thanks to Willow using her thorned vines to wrap around the spheres and launch them away, causing them to explode. Seeing his attempt ending in vain, Xemnas begins to teleport rapidly, encircling the teens with lasers continuously. Fortunately, the teens were prepared as Luz activated multiple ice glyphs to create walls, Amity swooshed around her abomination goop, and Willow used her thorned vines, all to block the lasers. Eda then rushes in towards Xemnas to deal with an attack of her own but is again caught off guard by Xemnas trapping her.

Eda: *struggling* Oh, come on!

Xemnas started using his dark powers to slowly drain Eda's strength, causing her to groan in pain.

Willow/Gus/Amity: Eda!

Luz: Nooo! *activates ice glyph and creates an ice sword* Guys, stop Xemnas!

The teens rush towards Xemnas as he creates another clone to attack them with energy spheres and slashes. Willow, Gus, and Amity kept the clone busy while Luz jumped in and performed a vertical slash at Xemnas's back, allowing Eda to be free and Luz to run to her.

Luz: Eda, are you okay?

Eda: Uhhhh, getting there... I need a nap.

Luz: Then, let's end this quick.

As if sensing a jolt in her mind, Luz turns around to see Xemnas about to attack her. But she threw her ice sword directly at his chest, scratching it. Xemnas jumped back from the pain.

Luz: *phew* That was close.

Having enough of this, Xemnas suddenly flies up in the air. The group, wondering what he was up to, got their question answered by Naminé.

Naminé: Beware! His finishing Multi Shot attack!

Luz: What now?

Naminé: Xemnas will shroud the battlefield into complete darkness and will conjure thousands of ethereal lasers to shoot you with!

Eda: Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me. Kids! Gather and use everything you have to create layers of defense!

Xemnas form two spheres of energy in each hand and meld them together. He lifts them over his head, and blackthorns pierce outwards. Everything around them turns black.

Eda: Hurry!

In the darkness, a thousand points of light appear as Xemnas laughs. With all their speed, Luz activated four ice glyphs to create large thick walls around them. Next was Willow, who created a dome of thorned vines, encasing them. Lastly, Amity summoned all the abomination goop she could muster and did as well, just in the nick of time. Immediately after, Xemnas launches all the lasers directly at the group. The group could hear the ice walls breaking and eventually shattering altogether, followed by the layers of Willow's thorned vines beginning to be torn to shreds and burning them to cinders. Soon after, they can see the abomination goop absorbing the lasers.

Luz: The ice walls and Willow's vines are gone!

Amity: My abomination goop can handle it!

After a while, the group notices the abomination goop getting pierced through by the lasers.

Willow: Oh no! It won't hold for much longer!

Amity: Just a little more...!

After withstanding almost all the lasers, the abomination goop had then splattered all over the battlefield. However, panic ensues as Xemnas launched one laser directly at the group at high speeds. Fortunately, Luz deflected it by creating another ice sword and hitting it horizontal swing. However, before they could express relief, Xemnas dashed towards them with his Interdiction blades, ready to strike. Luz, hoping her timing was perfect, pulls out four light glyph cards, making the others question her.

Amity: Luz, what are you doing?!

Luz: Wait for my signal!

Xemnas was inching closer and closer.

Luz: Wait for it...!

Xemnas was about to strike.

Luz: Okay!

Luz immediately unleashed her four light glyphs and created a large light, blinding Xemnas.

Luz: Amity! Willow, use your vines to swat him away! Then, Amity, create an abomination to trap him!

The two did as Luz told them, and it was a success. But unfortunately, Xemnas couldn't react in time to see Willow's vines attack him and get restrained by the Amity's abomination.

[End Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

The group can see that Xemnas is struggling to break free again but to no avail.

[Play Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance -Link To All- Extended [Redux]]

Luz then had another idea and turned to the others.

Luz: Guys! Let's do what we did before! When we beat Ansem!

They understood what she was talking about and gathered together. With Willow, Gus, and Amity behind Eda and Luz next to her, they all began channeling their magic energy to Luz and Eda. Like before, Gus's magic aura was light blue, Willow's was green, Amity was purple, Eda's was yellow, and Luz activated seven light glyphs and directed the light spheres towards her left hand and Eda's right hand, which she raised.

Luz: Eda, ready?

Eda: You bet.

Luz and Eda then converged all their magic from the others, concentrating all the magic built up into one single point. Finally, Luz and Eda took the concentrated energy and aimed it directly at Xemnas, ready to blast him with it. Xemnas then broke free from Amity's abomination and charged directly toward the group, not realizing what they were doing.

Luz/Eda: Adiós, Xemnas.

At last, Luz and Eda thrust their arms forward, unleashed a fast arrow-shaped beam of golden light, and pierced right through Xemnas's chest. As the beam disappears, Xemnas falls to the ground on his back, and the familiar white flash engulfs everyone, transporting them back to Naminé, who is seen applauding them for their victory.

[End Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance -Link To All- Extended [Redux]]

Naminé: Well done, all of you! The last memory of the second set has been repaired!

Teens: *fist pumped* Alright! We won!

Luz then helps Eda up.

Eda: That was about as tough as dealing with Ansem.

Naminé: Yes, but you all managed to pull through. With this set done, four more memories remain.

Eda: Four more? Sweet.

Luz: Can we watch the memory?

Naminé: Yes. Gather, everyone.

Everyone does so, and the memory starts with Sora and Riku on one side and Xemnas on the other, staring down at each other.


Xemnas: Heroes from the realm of light... I will not allow it to end this way—not yet. If light and darkness are eternal, then surely we nothings must be the same... Eternal!

Riku: You're right, light and darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever, too. But guess what, Xemnas?

Memory Sora (KH2): That doesn't mean YOU'RE eternal!

Xemnas: *chuckles* No more eternal than that radiance of yours...

[Play Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

Sora, Riku, and Xemnas prepare to do battle as the group watch with anticipation. As the battle commenced, the group was in awe of the display of teamwork that both Sora and Riku had displayed. From coordinated acrobatics, well-timed attacks, and powerful combinations. To the group, it looked like Sora and Riku were the perfect teammates, almost unstoppable. Just as the group couldn't be more impressed, they witnessed a feat beyond incredible. Xemnas, shrouding the entire battlefield in pitch black darkness, creates thousands of his ethereal lasers to surround Sora and Riku with his Multi Shot attack. Before the group could wonder how they'll counter, they got their answer by Sora and Riku moving at incredible speeds to deflect each ethereal laser shot one by one. The two were so in sync by covering each other's blind spots. It was just flawless work in the eyes of the group. After the attack had finished, Xemnas knocked Riku away and tried to strike Sora down but was blocked by Riku jumping at the last second. Riku pushes Sora away to take a hit from Xemnas's Interdiction blades, causing the group to wince a bit. But, just as Xemnas would strike Riku down, Sora jumps in the last second to block the attack by taking Riku's Keyblade and performing dual-handed slash attacks. Sora then delivers a final X-Slash attack to Xemnas's back, sending him into the air. The teens were impressed by that, thinking that it might have been the coolest thing they had ever seen Sora do at that moment. As Xemnas is in the air, Sora lands next to Riku, and the two combine their strengths to unleash a beam of light to take down Xemnas for good. In the end, Xemnas disintegrated into streams of black and white energy.

[End Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix -Darkness Of The Unknown [Final]- Extended]

Memory Sora (KH2): We did it!

The group cheered but then saw the Dusks appear and surround the two.

Riku: I wouldn't be too sure of that.

The two quickly destroyed every Dusk, allowing Riku to collapse on his knees from exhaustion.

Riku: Sora... I can't...

Memory Sora (KH2): Don't say another word!

Memory Sora (KH2): Don't say another word! It's not over. It's just not.

Sora puts Riku's arm over his shoulder and helps him up.

Riku: How can you say that? Even if we could go on...look where we are.

Memory Sora (KH2): Aw, c'mon, Riku. You've been hanging out in darkness too long. You gotta try and think positive!

Riku: Sora?

Memory Sora (KH2): Hm?

Riku: You lead.

Memory Sora (KH2): Got it.

They start walking.

Riku: You know... I always figured I was better at stuff than you.

Memory Sora (KH2): *smug tone* Really?

Riku: Are you mad?

Memory Sora (KH2): No. I kinda always thought you were better at everything, too.

Sora looks ahead and sees some sort of speck of light.

Memory Sora (KH2): Riku—look. What's that light?

They walk into the light and end up on a dark beach.

Riku: End of the road.

Memory Sora (KH2): Yep.

Riku: Put me down. I can walk.

Sora helps him stand and walks to the water.

Memory Sora (KH2): You know...maybe the darkness has gotten to me, too.

He turns around and sees Riku lying on the ground.

Memory Sora (KH2): *running back* Riku!

Riku: *kneeling* This world is perfect for me. If this is what the world really is—just this—then maybe I should fade back into darkness.

Memory Sora (KH2): Riku...

Riku: If the world is made of light and darkness... We'll be the darkness.

Memory Sora (KH2): Yeah. The other side...the realm of light is safe now. Kairi, the King, and the others are there.

Riku: That's what I mean. Hey, Sora... Could you help me? I want to get down to

the water.

Sora nods and helps Riku up.

Riku: *as they walk to the water* At least the waves sound the same.

They sit on the waterside for a time.

Riku: What I said back there...about thinking I was better at stuff than you... To tell you the truth, Sora... I was jealous of you.

Memory Sora (KH2): What for?

Riku: I wished I could live life the way you do. Just following my heart.

Memory Sora (KH2): Yeah, well, I've got my share of problems, too.

Riku: Like what?

Memory Sora (KH2): Like...wanting to be like you.

Riku: Well, there is one advantage to being me... Something you could never imitate.

Memory Sora (KH2): Really? What's that?

Riku: Having you for a friend.

Memory Sora (KH2): Then I guess...I'm okay the way I am. I've got something you could never imitate too.


The group was so intrigued by their conversation. It amazed them how Sora, despite being stuck in the realm of darkness at the moment, could just act like an ordinary human. Willow and Amity were the most intrigued as the two glanced at one another. Without saying a word, they figured they both knew what the other was thinking; in many ways, they saw themselves in them because of Sora and Riku's conversation. Their words of being envious of living a somewhat happy life and the desire to be strong just like the other connected with Willow and Amity. Although for Amity, it did make her wish that she could've talked to Willow all those years ago. But on the other hand, this serves as fuel of motivation to fully work hard to gain Willow's trust and friendship.


Back at the memory, Sora and Riku look up at the starless sky and close their eyes, feeling the breeze on their skin and hearing the sound of the waves. A bottle washes up between Riku's legs, and he picks it up and opens it. There is a note inside. He reads the letter.

Riku: Sora? I think it's for you.

The group naturally became interested in what the note said.

He hands it to Sora, who reads it.

[Play Hikari 光 (Simple and Clean) Orchestral Instrumental Version] [0:03]

Memory Sora (KH2): *reading the note* Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky—one sky, one destiny.

As Sora finished reading the note, the group caught a glimpse of it being signed by Kairi, which brought smiles to their faces.

Luz: *whispering* Awww.

Then, a light suddenly appears over the water before Sora and Riku.


The group silently gasped at the light, wondering how it appeared. They then remembered that King Mickey once said there's always a door to the light, figuring it would always appear to people like Sora.


Riku: Light.

Memory Sora (KH2): The door to light...

He stands up and offers his hand to Riku.

Memory Sora (KH2): We'll go together.

Riku: Yeah.

They stand up and enter the light.

[End Hikari 光 (Simple and Clean) Orchestral Instrumental Version] [0:52]

As the white flash fades, Sora and Riku fall from the sky, looking like shooting stars. After landing on the water's surface, they both hear a familiar voice call out.

Luz(Kairi): Sora! Riku!

They see Luz(Kairi) waving to them on the shore. Sora and Riku swim to shore. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy run past her to the water, much to Sora's surprise. Goofy and Donald jump on Sora and knock him back into the water. Sora sits up as Goofy hugs him, and Donald wipes his eye. Mickey runs to Riku, who picks him up and spins him around. Donald and Goofy hug Sora and look at Mickey and Riku. Luz(Kairi) giggles while smiling at Sora. He then takes out Kairi's keychain, and he and Luz(Kairi) look at one another with smiles.

Naminé smiled at this moment as she remembered that she and Roxas were also there within Sora and Kairi's hearts.

Memory Sora (KH2): W-We're back.

Luz(Kairi): *holding out her hand* You're home.

Sora grabs her hand with his, both cupping the lucky charm.


[Play Sanctuary(Ending)]

The memory ends there as the group felt emotional. Despite knowing that Sora's adventures continue after that, they were still filled with joy, seeing that Sora was at his home again and that his second grand adventure ended happily. Before anything else could happen, they both hear another familiar voice call out to the group. They turned around to see it was not one but two Soras. Specifically, two Inner Soras, standing next to each other. The group ran towards the two in joy, realizing they were one set closer to fully restoring the Inner Sora. It amazed the group seeing the two. The first Inner Sora was relatively shorter than the second one, and the group could tell that the second fragmented Inner Sora was slightly more fit than the first. Both Soras looked at one another and nodded, allowing the first fragmented Inner Sora to fade away, giving the others space.

Inner Sora (KH2): Thank you all for restoring me. Before you guys go on, I wanna share something with you all.

Luz: What's up?

Inner Sora (KH2): Did you know that in each group of friendships...

The second fragmented Inner Sora points to the group.

Inner Sora (KH2): In you...

He then points to himself.

Inner Sora (KH2): And I, there's a new land?

Luz/Eda/Willow/Gus/Amity: A new land?

Inner Sora (KH2): Right. Some say that home is where the heart is...and they're right. But I feel like it's more than that. To me, friendship can be like a new land, where fears and lies melt away. A sanctuary, if you will.

The group smiled at that.

Luz: That sounds beautiful. But where did you get that idea?

Inner Sora (KH2): I came to that conclusion at that moment when I and everyone made it back to the islands. Sure, Kairi was home, but without all of us there, it didn't feel complete. And I like to have that feeling with all my friends no matter where I go. Meaning, as friends, you guys are like home, a sanctuary, to me as well.

Everyone stood there and said nothing. They couldn't. They felt like their hearts just melted until Luz broke the silence by tackle hugging the fragmented Inner Sora. Luz looks back at the others.

Luz: Dang it, you guys! Don't just stand there! Get in on this!

Willow and Gus just ran up to them and tackle hugged as well. Amity stayed behind a bit and watched them with a smile. The others noticed this and extended their hands out to Amity with a smile.

Luz: That means you too, Amity.

Gus: Yeah, come on.

Willow: You're Sora's friend too, remember?

Inner Sora (KH2): It's not complete without you.

Tears formed in Amity's eyes, and after a brief stare, she joined the group hug. With Willow and Gus on the right, Luz and Amity on the left, and the fragmented Inner Sora in the middle, they felt nothing but happiness. Eda and Naminé stare the teens.

Eda: ...How does one kid have so much love in his heart?

Naminé: He just does. Love, compassion, hope. Those are the things that just make up Sora's heart.

Eda: Huh, if every world out there had a Sora of their own, or rather had nothing but Soras, life would be perfect.

Naminé: I agree.

The two continue watching the teens' embrace.

Eda: *thinking* Sanctuary... *looks at Luz and Sora* Kinda like that idea.

(NOTE: Aaaaaaaand the Kingdom Hearts 2 portion of this Memory Arc is done. The events of Kingdom Hearts 3 are next, and as you've read from Eda and Naminé, FOUR more memories remain. (And then there's the epilogue, so FIVE more chapters to go) I know this arc is rather long, and some would want to see the story progress from the original Owl House continuity placements. But I hope you guys will come to find that this arc was worth reading through. All I can say is that this arc will serve as the nexus of changes in the story's future without spoiling details. Some good, some bad, and some may be unexpected. In any case, I'm gonna go write out the next chapter as much as I can. Until then, Byyyeeeeeee!
