Episode 316: The World That Never Was Part 3

Where we last left off, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Namine, Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, Michael, Max, Lisia, Zinnia, and their Pokemon friends arrived to the next room and in other rooms where the remaining members of Organization XIII were waiting for them, with the exception of Xemnas since he had to tend to the artificial Kingdom Hearts when it nears completion.

Meanwhile, Ash and Ansem the Wise attempts to encode the artificial Kingdom Hearts into data, and foiling the Organization's schemes once and for all.

They fought the Organization members and defeated them, one after the other. After defeating Saïx, Sora and Kairi learned that Roxas and Xion are their Nobodies, and why the Organization tried to eliminate Sora in the first place, and Xion living with her family. Sora and Kairi fully understood why they returned to Sora and Kairi before they left for the Hoenn region.

As Ansem the Wise and Ash continued to encode the artificial Kingdom Hearts, Ansem reveals to Ash about his pride and his arrogance became his downfall while the machine began to malfunction and prepares to self-destruct, so Ash's friends along with Xemnas arrived. What was meant to be their heartfelt reunion was cut short as Ansem's machine has exploded, and succeeded in destroying the artificial Kingdom Hearts in the process. After regaining consciousness, Ash revealed to the rest of the group of two vessels that Axel had stolen from Vexen's lab, prior to the Elemental Bosses being awake. And it was there that Sora and Kairi provided their own answer by using their Keyblades to give Roxas and Xion their own bodies, making them their own people, even with fake bodies.

And now, the final battle against Organization XIII was about to begin.

After the sacrifice of Ansem the Wise and the return of Roxas and Xion, the group started to make their way towards Xemnas, determined to put an end to Xemnas and the Organization once and for all.

"Xemnas is up there, isn't he?" Sora asked.

"Yes. We can all sense him up there," Wes said.

"Guys, we got a problem!" Ventus said. The group saw that an army of Shadows were coming right towards them.

"Heartless!" Max exclaimed.

"We can handle them," Riku said.

"No," a voice spoke. It turns out to be Kaito who came to their aid. "I can handle those Heartless. You go and deal with Xemnas."

"You sure about this, dad?" Sora asked.

"Dad?" Brendan, May, Michael, Max, Lisia, and Zinnia asked in shock.

"I'm sure. Besides, they can't hurt a ghost, but a ghost can hurt a Heartless. Only by defeating Xemnas can this whole thing end. Now, go," Kaito said.

"Okay, dad. We will," Sora said.

"And thanks," Karen said.

Kaito summoned his Dark Kingdom Key and he went to engage the Shadows while they head up to the Alar of Naught. Upon arriving, they saw Xemnas looking at his ruined Kingdom Hearts.

"Ohh...my Kingdom Hearts...ruined. Now I'll have to start all over again," Xemnas said. He quickly noticed the group behind him. "Warriors of the Keyblade! Go forth, and bring me more hearts!"

Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, and Michael summoned their Keyblades.

"No!" Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Wes, Rui, and Michael all said in unison and pointed their Keyblades at the Organization leader.

"Denizens of light, answer this: Why do you hate the darkness?" Xemnas asked.

"We don't hate the darkness. We just find the darkness to be scary," Leaf said.

"But the worlds are made from both light and darkness. You can't have one without the other because light and darkness are two halves of everything," Ash said.

"And the reason we're afraid of the dark is because of who's lurking inside it," Riku said.

"Then allow me another question. You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark, never given a choice?" Xemnas asked.

"It's because you mess up our worlds!" Ethan said.

"And you hurt many people who did nothing to hurt you!" Kris said.

"You abuse the power that you have just so you can have even more power just to do it," Brendan said.

"You even used Roxas just to get what you want, and it's no wonder why he left when he did," Lyra said.

"So we're not going to let you use us to do the same thing," Naminé said.

"And that gives us a reason to stand up against you and stop you from doing it anymore," May said.

"That may be... However, what other choice might we have had?" Xemnas asked.

"Just give it a rest! You're Nobodies! You don't even exist! You're not sad about anything!" Sora said.

"And even if you do have hearts, you wouldn't be sad about the things you've done!" Kairi said. Xemnas laughed.

"Very good. You don't miss a thing. I can not feel… sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist," Xemnas said as he raises his hands. Multiple streams of light flew up. Sora covers his eyes as the whole place lit up. When the light dies down, Sora opens his eyes. He looks around and saw that he was on a platform with a skyscraper. He was alone with Xemnas.

"Kairi, Pikachu! Everyone!" Sora exclaimed. He turned to Xemnas. His hands were sparkling with energy. He held his Kingdom Key, prepared to fight Xemnas.

Xemnas envelops an opponent with the power of nothingness around Sora.

"Come closer," Xemnas said as he teleports himself to the scyscraper. Sora complied with Xemnas as he came to the sckyscraper. The power of nothingness disappeared as Sora looked up and saw Xemnas on top of the skyscraper. Remembering his training, Sora started to run up towards Xemnas. Xehanort's Nobody brought out his Ethereal Blades, known as the Interdiction. Once Sora and Xemnas were close enough, they clashed against one another. Xemnas tried to strike him, but Sora dodged and smacked him with his Keyblade.

Sora and Xemnas clashed their weapons against one another. Sora instantly recognized the red energy weapons.

"That was you, wasn't it? Back in Hollow Bastion. It was after I turned into a Heartless. Why didn't you finish me off when you had the chance?" Sora asked.

"I was testing you. I knew you had your full powers while your Nobody, Roxas only had half of it. After our first meeting, I knew you were going to become a problem. And I could not have that. The only good thing about you was that you saved me the trouble of eliminating Team Rocket oncd their usefulness was at an end," Xemnas said.

"What do you mean by that? And what does Team Rocket has to do with you?" Sora asked.

"Team Rocket were our pawns from the very beginning. The same can be said for Team Shadow when they were creating Shadow Pokémon," Xemnas said.

"Just like Wes said. You were behind it," Sora said.

"Yes. And we were behind it again, but your friend Michael has placed that plan into ruins when he used his new Snag Machine to purify them. Now, you must be eliminated," Xemnas said, swinging his Interdiction. Sora blocked with his Kingdom Key. Xemnas attempts to slash and kick him, but Sora managed to dodge and he gave Xemnas a smack, and he casts a thunder spell, hitting him. "So, it wasn't a fallacy." Xemnas fell to the ground and fades away.

"Sora! Where are you?" Kairi's voice called out.

"Pika, Pi!" Pikachu's voice also called out. Suddenly, a bright light covers the entire battlefield. Back on top of the castle, everyone was looking for Sora.

"Sora, answer me!" Riku called out.

"Sora, can you hear us?" Leaf asked.

Sora teleports back to the castle on the ground. His friends went up to him with concern.

"Sora, are you alright?" Brendan asked with concern.

"Yeah, but where's Xemnas?" Sora asked.

"I don't know, he just disappeared," Wes said.

"But he's gotta be around here somewhere," Lisia said. As everyone looked around, Max spotted him and he screamed.

"Guys! Look! He's up there!" Max exclaimed. Everyone looked up and saw Xemnas merging with his Kingdom Hearts.

"Hear me, Kingdom Hearts! It seems we must begin anew. Ah, but know this: I will give to you as many hearts as it takes. Mark my words! You can no more be complete without me than I without you. Heed me, Kingdom Hearts! Lend me your power, so that we may be complete! The power to erase the fools that hinder us," Xemnas said.

"Xemnas! No!" Ash shouted.

"Hearts quivering with hatred…" Xemnas continued.

"Xemnas! Don't!" Sora called out.

"Hearts burning with rage…" Xemnas continued.

"Stop what you're doing!" May called out.

"Hearts scarred by envy... That fool Ansem said the heart's true nature was beyond his understanding. But it's not beyond mine! Hearts are the source of all power!" Xemnas shouted.

A light shines from the ruined Kingdom Hearts, almost blinding the group. When the light had faded, they saw that Xemnas was gone.

"Xemnas! You can't hide from us!" Sora shouted.

"Where did he go?" Kris asked.

"I don't know, but we're not going to let him get away!" Ash said. Lisia then spotted something.

"Look at that!" Lisia gasped. Everyone looked at what looked like a door. It has the same design as the door Sora, Kairi, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Team Rocket saw in the realm of darkness.

"Is that what I think it is?" Ethan asked.

"Kingdom Hearts. The worlds have given us this doorway. They want us to be the guardians of their destiny," Ash said.

"Then, we should go. Xemnas must be inside," Riku said.

"I agree. And I'm certain Xemnas is expecting us," Wes said.

"Well, he won't be disappointed," Sora said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu said.

"Once we go through, there's no turning back," Roxas said.

"Pikachu," Xipak nodded with agreement.

"It's victory...or oblivion," Riku added. Riku turned to Sora. "So, Sora... Are you ready?"

"Ready as we'll ever be. This is our last chance to end this," Sora said.

"Then, we'll have to use our Keyblades to open the door, all at once," May said.

"I'm all for it," Lyra said.

With that said, the Keyblade wielders held their Keyblades and raised their Keyblades up in the sky and fired beams in the air. The door finally opens.

"Get ready, Xemnas! It all ends here!" Sora said.

The group went through the door and arrives in some kind of city. At the end of the city is a white castle that looks like a dragon. It is a gigantic and draconian battleship. The dragon has a small main body, a long, segmented neck, and a round head with numerous tall, thin spikes lining it. Its mouth is somewhat beak-like. The dragon's wings are thin, angular, and each is emblazoned with a black Nobody symbol at the joint. Each wing also has several thin, black and white "feathers" with tips resembling the Nobody logo. Its thin arms end in three-fingered, segmented hands and each arm is lined by four blue diamond-shaped spikes of increasingly smaller size. In place of legs, the dragon has two massive, conical engines with two smaller engines on either side of the main ones. It also has a long, thin tail with four conical objects connected to its tip. The dragon is predominantly colored in light shades of silver and metallic blue.

"A dragon?" Zinnia asked.

"Yeah, but look who's standing on it!" Michael said. They saw it was Xemnas standing on top of the dragon.

"So... It seems your hearts have led you to obliteration. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be too loyal to one's heart. I will have to be sure and remember that," Xemnas said. The group ran as he levitates a building towards the group. Only Karen, Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Max, Lisia, Zinnia, Blossom, Sparky, Thor, Eclair, and Aster made it out. The door begins to close as Karen attempts to run back in.

"Sora, Roxas!" Karen exclaimed as the door completely closes.

"No!" Wes exclaimed.

"We're trapped!" Naminé said.

"We can take him on our own!" Sora said, summoning his Kingdom Key and Latios Luster. Kairi summoned her Destiny's Embrace and Latias Love as the rest of the Keyblade wielders summoned their Keyblades. They ran through the city, holding their Keyblades, ready for anything coming their way. Several buildings pop up, blocking their path, so Sora used his two Keybldes to cut through the buildings and went through. He opened his eyes and the buildings come apart. "Let's go!" The rest of the Keyblade wielders agreed as they went on ahead. The street they were running towards suddenly raises up, and a few buildings were being thrown at them, but they jumped and they slashed the buildings and used them as stepping stones. They make it to the cannons and they're encountered by Nobodies they have never come across before.

This Nobody. Its main body is circular and resembles a classic alarm clock. It has three short, conical spikes on its sides, two near its base and one on its top, and has two mushroom-shaped protrusions on its top. It has two "arms" on either of its sides, and one long, thick "tail" attached to its base. It is steel blue and sky blue. This Nobody is known as the Bomb Bell B. They smacked the Bomb Bells into the cannons cylinders, intending to damage them, but they switched before each one fired. They kept it up until both of the cylinders were destroyed and they moved on ahead to the energy core. Protecting the energy core is a squad of Nobodies summoned by Xemnas to keep the Keyblade wielders busy. The Nobodies attacking the Keyblade wielders are Creepers, Sorcerers, Snipers, Dragoons, Protectors, Knights, Scholars, Berserkers, Assassins, Dancers, Gamblers, Reapers, Ninjas, and Samurais. But the Nobodies weren't the only ones to worry about. It turns out that the dragon is using its claws to hit them, but they dodged its assault, so they went for the energy core until it was destroyed. They finally made it to the top of the dragon's head.

They find Xemnas sitting on a throne, but he is wearing armor. The shoulder pad on his left shoulder, helmet, crown, boots, knees, and breastplate all sport these designs. His crown and shoulder pad are gold, while the rest of the armor is colored in light shades of blue and silver. He has two silver belts on his waist and what seems to be white feathers on his right shoulder in place of armor. Several cords criss-cross in front of his torso, connecting to massive, oblong pieces of armor worn on each arm. Xemnas's faceplate is beak-like in structure and he wears clawed, metal gloves. He also wears black pants underneath the armor. Perhaps the most striking features of this armor are the oddly-shaped "sleeves" that are attached to each of Xemnas's arms. They are a mixture of red, orange, yellow, and white. He also wears a massive, similarly-colored cape that seems to connect him to the dragon.

"Cursed fools," Xemnas said. He swings his large sword at the Keyblade wielders, but they come at Xemnas, but the weapons of the defeated Organization members, excluding the Keyblade attacked them. Xigbar's Sharpshooters fires arrows at them as Demyx's water clones danced through Demyx's Arpeggio. Axel's Eternal Flames flew around as Zexion's Book of Retribution's pages fly around. Xaldin's Lindworm lances circle around as Larxene's Foudre goes flying. Marluxia's Graceful Dahlia swings at them as Luxord's Fair Game cards went flying at them. Vexen's Frozen Pride makes several icicles as Lexaeus's Skysplitter slammed on the ground, making a quake. Saix's Lunatic goes flying at them.

They focused their attacks on Xemnas as he swings his sword at the Keyblade widlers. Roxas came at Xemnas, but he blocked with his sowrd and sent him back. Pikachu and Xipak fired Thunderbolt as Eevee fired Shadow Ball as Marill fired Bubble Beam and Azurill fired Water Gun. Xemnas blocked those attacks as Angel and Celeste fired Swift at him. The Keyblade wielders make some more attempts to strike at him, but Xmnas had pushed them back again.

"Xemnas is much stronger than I thought," Brendan said.

"We can't throw in the towel yet. We already came too far to give up," Ash said.

"Ash is right. It's not over until it's over," Sora said.

"It's not over until it's over," Roxas said, taking Sora's words to heart. He nodded and he charged at Xemnas, along with Sora. Sora and Roxas raised their Keyblades up, so Xemnas attempts to block, but they came too fast for Xemnas to block, making him scream in agony.

After the battle, everyone teleports back to the top of the castle. They all held their Keyblades tightly as Xemnas was on his knee, panting heavily.

"I need...more rage...I need...more hearts..." Xemnas said.

"Xemnas, there's more to a heart than just anger or hate. It's full of all kinds of feelings. Don't you remember?" Sora asked.

"Unfortunately... I don't," Xemnas said as he starts fading away.

"It's finally over. Xemnas is gone," Riku said.

"We did it. We defeated Organization XIII," Ethan said.

"That's good. Now they can't threaten me or Xion," Roxas said.

"And that's good," Aqua said. Suddenly, the castle starts shaking.

"What's going on?!" Ash exclaimed.

"It's the castle! Without Xemnas or any of the Organization members left to maintain it, it'll fall apart," Roxas said.

"Riku, can't you use your darkness to get us out of here?" Max asked.

"I don't know, but I'll try," Riku said, holding out his hand. He tried to use the powers of his darkness to open it, but nothing happened. "It's not working."

"That's because you also have the power of light, Riku," Rui said.

Kaito hovered above the group and he opened a pathway.

"Hey! Who did that?" Ventus asked.

"I don't know, but we have to hurry and get out of here before it's too late," Terra said.

"Terra, Aqua, Ven, you guys go first," Sora said.

"Okay," Aqua said.

"Let's go, Ven," Terra said.

"Okay," Ventus said as Ventus, Terra, Aqua, Sparky, Thor, and Eclair went through.

"Wait for us!" May said as she went through. Brendan and Max followed her through the portal. Ethan, Kris, Lyra, and Marill followed them inside the portal. Riku, Naminé, Eevee, and Azurill followed them as Ash, Leaf, Wes, Rui, Michael, Lisia, Zinnia, and Aster followed them.

"Well, we should get going, too," Karen said.

"Yeah. We should," Sora said.

"You think things would ever be the same with us?" Xion asked.

"Maybe they'll be better, Xion. If weren't for everything we've been through, we would never have met you," Kairi said.

"She's right. Our families would be thrilled to see us," Roxas said.

"And the first thing we'll do is get in touch with our mom, because I know she'll want to see you," Sora said.

"And I'll do that with my mom and dad. I'm sure Seth will be thrilled to see you again," Kairi said. Xion was thrilled at the mention of the baby's name, and she missed seeing his smiling face.

"Does that mean, we'll always be together?" Xion asked.

"Of course it does, Xion. I promise you that," Karen said.

"That's good," Xion said.

"Now, let's get going, or else we'll end up being in the rubble," Karen said.

"Right," Sora, Kairi, Roxas, and Xion said in unison before laughing. Karen and Blossom went through the portal, but it suddenly closes, leaving Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste behind.

"Karen!" Sora exclaimed.

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"Eevee!" Angel also exclaimed.

Back in Pacifidlog Town, Rei, Ben, Hikaru, Joshua, and Erika were anxiously wating for the group to come back. A strange portal opened up and everyone all came out with Karen and Blossom being the last.

"You made it," Hikaru said.

"Yeah. Looks like we made it safe and sound," May said.

"But where are Sora and Kairi? And who are these two?" Rei asked.

"Sora and Kairi?" Riku asked.

"They were just right behind us," Leaf said.

"Yeah, and so were Roxas and Xion," Ash said.

"Roxas? Xion?" Joshua asked.

"What happened?" Rei asked.

"Well, if you have to know. First of all, this is Wes and Rui, the two who were the ones who foiled the We went in and we defeated Organization XIII, one after another. And we also found Ansem the Wise, but he gave his life, pulling the plug their plans, and then we fought Xemnas, but then the castle started to fall apart, so a portal opened up and we got out. We thought Sora, Kairi, Roxas, and Xion were right behind us," Ash said.

"Sora, Kairi," Rei said with worry.

A flash of light occurred and a green core could be seen in the distance. Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste saw the core and something moving inside it. It turns out to be the dragon Xemnas had to be operating.

"Don't tell me that's who I think it is," Sora said.

"It is. It's Xemnas. He's still alive after all. He's riding on that thing, I can feel it," Roxas said.

"So can I. I don't think he wants us going anywhere," Xion said.

"How many times do we have to destroy him until he stays gone?" Sora asked.

"He's coming this way," Kairi said.

The dragon hits the castle, making it tilt. They see two hovercrafts, so Roxas jumps on one of them

"Roxas!" Sora said.

"Xion! Jump on!" Roxas called out to his girlfriend. Xion nodded and she jumped right on the hovercraft. Sora and Kairi jumped on the other one an d they flew right towards the dragon.

Sora and Roxas shoots at the dragon's tail, and absorbing the lasers being shot at them.

"Xemnas," Roxas said.

"You called it, Roxas," Sora said.

"But when we get out of this, you think we can double date?" Roxas asked.

"Don't worry. After this battle, I'll personally make the arrangements," Kairi said.

"We appreciate it, Kairi," Xion said.

"Pikachu," Pikachu said.

"Pikachu," Xipak said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

"Eevee," Celeste said.

Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste engaged Xemnas as he swings his sword to knock them back. Xemnas makes a barrier and blows them away.

"Hearts are power. Nothingness... is eternal!" Xemnas said as he unleashed a laser assault. The couples managed to dodge the lasers, but buildings are being sent at them. The dragon puts up a shield. "Sora... Did you give your heart for Kairi out of love?" Xemnas asked. Sora smacked a building at the dragon. The dragon unleashed lasers. "Kairi... Are you sure you've conquered your fears?" The dragon kept firing the lasers. "Embrace the nothingness." Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Xipak, and Celeste reached Xemnas. He attempts to back them off, but they engaged Xemnas and they make their last assault on him. Upon doing so, Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste are taken to a void of nothingness. And Xemnas's coat is now black and white. Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste are riding on their partners' shoulders. "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!"

"You're right. Light and darkness are eternal," Kairi said.

"And nothing probably goes on forever, too," Xion said.

"But guess what, Xemnas," Roxas said.

"It doesn't mean you're eternal," Sora said. Xemnas laughed.

"No more eternal than that radiance of yours," Xemnas said. This was it. This was the last fight, so they had to make it count. "Anger and hate are supreme." Xemnas teleports to the couples. "We shall go together now." He grabbed Sora and tossed him up.

Xemnas unleashed thorn beams, but Sora dodges them as do Kairi, Roxas and Xion. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt at Xemnas, but he teleports and came at Sora again, but Kairi came to her boyfriend's aid as Roxas and Xion rushes at Xemnas, but he teleports and swings his Interdiction blades again to strike them down.

"Be gone!" Xemnas shouted, firing bombs of nothingness.

"Sora!" Roxas and Xion shouted as Xemnas swings his Interdiction blades at Sora, but he clashed his Kingdom Key against it.

Xemnas unleashed thorn beams, but Sora dodges them as do Kairi, Roxas and Xion. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt at Xemnas, but he teleports and came at Sora again, but Kairi came to her boyfriend's aid as Roxas and Xion rushes at Xemnas, but he teleports and swings his Interdiction blades again to strike them down.

Suddenly, Xemnas teleports in front of Sora and zaps him with electricity.

"Sora!" Kairi cried.

"No! Not this time, Xemnas!" Roxas shouted. Roxas tried to attack Xemnas, but he got knocked back. Xemnas creates a clone of himself to go after Roxas. Roxas casts a fire spell as Xipak fired Thunderbolt at the clone, sending him back. Roxas quickly ran back to the real Xemnas and stops his attack. Sora fell back down to the ground. Roxas hits Xemnas several times and threw him up in the air. Roxas casts a cure spell to heal Sora's wounds. "You okay, Sora?" Roxas asked.

"There is no such thing as light!" Xemnas said.

Xemnas brings both his hands together and surrounds the entire void with darkness. He then surrounds Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste with thousands of energy spheres. He sends the energy spheres at the couples, but they deflected all of them with their Keyblades. They keep blocking all of the spheres until a bright flash covers the entire void. After blocking all of the spheres, the couples are down at their knees. Xemnas knocks Kairi, Roxas, and Xion back and places his Interdiction blades on the side of Sora's head. He was about to strike him, but Roxas blocks his attack. Roxas pushes Sora back as Xemnas strikes him with another beam sword. Roxas gave Sora his Keyblade and Sora strikes Xemnas with two Keyblades. He sent Xemnas flying in the air and lands next to Roxas. Roxas held onto Sora's hand and Sora's Kingdom Key as it fires a beam at Xemnas, stunning him. Kairi and Xion rushed back to their significant others.

"Sora!" Kairi called out.

"Kairi, let's end this now!" Sora said.

"Yes," Kairi agreed. They held the Kingdom Key and Destiny's Embrace in the air and they merged into one Keyblade. They swung the fused Keyblade and struck Xemnas downwards on the chest.

"Accursed... Keyblade..." Xemnas said. Xemnas struggled to maintain his physical form, but he finally fades away into nothing.

"We did it!" Sora said.

"It's over for real," Roxas said.

Suddenly, a swarm of Dusks appeared to attack the couples.

"You may wanna rephrase that statement," Kairi said.

The Dusks were about to attack, but Kaito came and unleashed a burst of light, destroying all of the Dusks.

"Dad. You helped us again," Sora said.

"Yes, I did, son. I am so very proud of you. Both of you, Sora, Roxas. And you as well, Kairi, Xion," Kaito said. The girls just smiled at the ghost's kind words. "I have to tell you, my sons sure know how to pick 'em." This causes Sora and Roxas to blush.

"Dad!" Sora and Roxas said in unison. They looked at each other, realizing what they just said. Kaito also laughed.

"So now that Organization XIII is gone, it doesn't mean the dangers have passed. The Nobodies are still rampant as long as the Heartless exists. And there are still the Unversed, too. Not to mention, there are other candidates for the Keyblade," Kaito said.

"You're right. Our mission isn't over yet," Kairi said.

"But how are we going to get back to the others? For all we know, we could be stuck in this void forever," Sora said.

"Don't worry, son. I'll help you there," Kaito said, opening another portal. "Now, hurry up and go through, all four of you."

"Yes, sir," Kairi and Xion said in unison.

"Yes, dad," Sora and Roxas said, also in unison.

With that said, Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Xion, Pikachu, Angel, Xipak, and Celeste stepped through the portal. They made it back to Pacifidlog Town with their friends waiting for them to come back.

"Sora, Roxas, Kairi, Xion! You're safe!" Karen said.

"Hey, guys," Sora said, earning a conk from his sister. "Ow! Hey, what was that for?!"

"For making me worry about you, you big doofus! I was scared that I lost you again!" Karen scolded. Sora chuckled nervously.

"Sorry," Sora apologized.

"Anyway, what happened after the portal closed?" Ash asked.

"Well, long story short, Xemnas was still alive, but we fixed that," Sora said.

"Now Xemnas is literally nothing," Roxas said.

"That's good to know," Aqua said.

"Yes. But your mission's not over yet. But for now, all of you must rest," Rei said.

"Yes, Master," Rei's apprentices said.

Now that Organization XIII had been wiped out, the first thing to do is to have Roxas and Xion fit in with the group, while making preparations for the Hoenn Pokémon League and the Grand Festival. Let's hope the best for Roxas and Xion's new lives.
