Episode 496: The Spear Pillar

Last time, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Chase, Elaine, Lucas, Dawn, Wes, Rui, Michael, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Marill, Volt, Maple, and Piplup left Lake Acuity and headed off toward Veilstone City. They meet up with their DigiDestined friends along with Rei who fills them in that she found an abandoned Team Galactic hideout. Splitting up again, the Keyblade wielders and DigiDestined searches for Team Galactic's current base for the next several days until it was accidentally discovered. Once inside, several Team Galactic grunts attempted to capture them, but they slipped away. During the battle, Monferno has evolved into an Infernape. They found Cyrus giving a speech to his Team Galactic forces, only to lie to them all. When Cyrus is confronted, he revealed that he wants the new world only for himself. Sora battled Cyrus and defeated his Pokémon. After Cyrus took his leave, they find Saturn and Charon with the Lake Guardians, so Sora and Saturn battled each other again with Croagunk finally defeating Toxicroak. After receiving his victory, Croagunk has finally evolved into a Toxicroak. They rescued the Lake Guardians from Team Galactic's clutches, but the untimely arrival of Pokémon Hunter J has put a dent into the rescue as she attempts to kill the group and take the Lake Guardians from them, but the Heartless arrived and took J and her henchmen, devouring their hearts. Cynthia had arrived with a squadron of police officers and they head for Mount Coronet, hoping to stop Cyrus in his tracks before it was too late.

Over to Count Ernesh, he sat on a chair in the study of his Sinnoh home when Loki visits him.

"Master, Pokémon Hunter J has just become a snack for the Heartless," Loki reported.

"And it would seem that her avarice and her contempt for human life was too delicious for the Heartless to resist. Her end was inevitable one way or the other," Count Ernesh said.

"Yeah, and there's Team Galactic, too. They're already putting their plan to create their new world into effect now," Loki said.

"That could mean they found the Spear Pillar. And there is no doubt that the Guardians of Kingdom Hearts will undoubtedly go to Mount Coronet to interfere with them. Cyrus is a fool if he believes his dream of an emotionless world would become a reality. If Cyrus isn't careful, then he will fall victim to his own obsession," Count Ernesh said.

Meanwhile, the jeeps are driving toward Mount Coronet with Sora, Kairi, Lucas, Dawn, Pikachu, Angel, and Piplup riding with Cynthia.

"As you say, they're heading for Mount Coronet," Cynthia said.

"Is there something special there? Something we should know about?" Sora asked.

"Chu?" Pikachu asked.

"Yes. That would be the Spear Pillar," Cynthia replied.

"The Spear Pillar?" Dawn asked.

"What's that?" Kairi asked.

"The tale I'm about to tell you goes far back as thousands of years ago. In the beginning of its construction, it was originally known as the Temple of Sinnoh. It was built in honor of the Alpha Pokémon, Arceus. Both humans and Pokémon built it together and carved the statues of the Pokémon of the Legendary Hero, the Almighty Sinnoh. These Pokémon were Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Basculegion, Sneasler, Ursaluna, and the Hisuian forms of Electrode, Arcanine, Lilligant, Braviary, and Avalugg. They each located 18 plates each representing a Pokémon type. They traveled to the top of Mount Coronet and battled Arcues. The Hero defeated Arceus in a battle and earned Arceus's respect. In doing so, his 10 Pokémon received blessings from Arceus by being struck by raining bolts of light. They would then become the very first Noble and Ride Pokémon. Thus, the ancient hero and his ten companions become the protectors of the humans and Pokémon of Hisui. The Temple of Sinnoh was later built to honor the ancient hero, his 10 Pokémon, and Arceus itself. At some point, after earning the name 'hero', the man led his Pokémon companions against a being known as the 'almighty unknowable', his valiance in battle proclaiming the strength of humankind, which the unknowable approved, returning to its "domain of no place". The 10 Pokémon eventually had descendants, which were originally watched over by the Celestica people. Two clans were formed, known as the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan. They took over that role, assigning 10 Wardens, 5 from each clan to watch over the Noble and Ride Pokémon. Palkia and Dialga have transformed into their Origin Forms and greatly damaged the temple, becoming what is now the Spear Pillar," Cynthia concluded.

"And at some point after that, Hisui was renamed Sinnoh, right?" Sora asked.

"Yes," Cynthia said.

"You think Cyrus is going to have Palkia and Dialga change into those forms, too?" Lucas asked.

"It seems very likely he would. The two orbs would be used to summon them both, so we must hurry and get to the Spear Pillar as quickly as possible," Cynthia said.

"Yeah. Too much is at risk," Dawn said.

"Lup," Piplup said.

"Dawn's right. We have to hurry," Kairi said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

Over to another jeep, Ash is thinking about Cascade in the realm of darkness and figured she's still struggling and still no clue how much time has passed since she's been trapped and when Ash and Leaf met her.

"Cascade, I haven't forgotten about you. I looked for a way inside in just about any place I've been to up to now, and I couldn't find it, but your rescue will have to wait a tad longer, because the future of the world is at stake right now. My friends and I will get you out and bring you back out somehow. That way, you'll have a world to return to. Until then, wait a little longer and keep fighting," Ash said in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Yugi, Téa, Joey, Tristan, Mai, Bakura, Duke, and Serenity are with Verity, Sorrel, Gary, Professor Rowan, and his staff.

"Professor, if what Cynthia says is true, then it won't be long until Team Galactic makes their move," Sorrel said.

"Yes. I can only hope she gets there before it's too late," Professor Rowan said.

"Yug, Sora and the others have got to be with her, right?" Joey asked.

"I hope so, Joey. If anyone can get us out of this predicament, they can," Yugi said.

Over at Mount Coronet, the group stepped out of the jeeps and stared right at the mountain.

"Here it is. Mount Coronet," Lucas said.

"And that's where Team Galactic are hiding," Chase said.

"Not hiding. They're getting their project underway," Riku said.

"And we're going up to pull the plug," Brendan said.

"Tai, Davis, Takuya, Takato, and the others are already half-way up, so luckily, they'll get the party started before we get there," Roxas said.

"My sentiments exactly, Roxas," Lea said.

"We'll make contact with the international police and fill them in," one of the police officers said.

"And we'll also set up a perimeter just so nobody else gets to the mountain," Officer Jenny said.

"We'll handle the rest," Cynthia said.

With that said, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Chase, Elaine, Lucas, Dawn, Wes, Rui, Michael, Rei, Cynthia, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Marill, Volt, Maple, and Piplup head on up the mountain.

"What's the plan, Cynthia?" Rei asked.

"Let's split up. I'll head on up ahead, and the rest of you follow," Cynthia said, letting out her Garchomp. She got on her back. Rei has let out her Arcanine and got on its back.

"I'll be going with you. Deal with anything that gets in your way," Rei said.

"Yes, Master," Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Chase, Elaine, Lucas, Dawn, Wes, Rui, and Michael said. Lea got on Arcanine's back as well.

"Lea, what are you doing?" Rei asked.

"Someone's gotta watch your back," Lea said.

"My back doesn't need watching, hothead!" Rei said.

"You say that now," Lea said. Rei groaned, growing frustrated.

"Okay, you can tag along, but don't get in my way," Rei said.

"Trust me, I'll be your shadow," Lea said.

With that said, Lea, Rei, and Cynthia went off ahead.

"That just leaves the rest of us," Sora said.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

"Let's go!" Ash said.

With that said, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Chase, Elaine, Lucas, Dawn, Wes, Rui, Michael, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Marill, Volt, Maple, and Piplup followed their trail.

Up ahead, several Team Galactic grunts were patrolling the mountain, so the DigiDestined teams launched their attack on the Team Galactic grunts.

"Houndour, Murkrow! Shadow Ball!" One of the male Team Galactic grunts ordered. The Houndour and Murkrow fired Shadow Ball right at them.

"Forretress! Rapid Spin!" JP ordered. Forretress spins around and rammed into the Team Galactic Pokémon.

"Sneasel! Use Ice Beam!" One of the female Team Galactic grunts ordered. The Sneasel fired an Ice Beam.

"Rapidash! High Horsepower!" TK and Kari ordered. Their Rapidash rammed into the Sneasel, taking them down.

"Dragonite! Use Fire Punch!" Davis ordered. Dragonite lands a Fire Punch on an Absol.

"Mawile! Crunch!" Amy ordered.

"Little Mei! Fury Swipes!" Meiko ordered.

"Torterra! Leaf Storm!" Cody ordered.

Amy's Mawile uses Crunch on a Croagunk as Little Mei attacks a Glameow with Fury Swipes, and Cody's Torterra unleashed a Leaf Storm.

"Lapras! Ice Beam!" Joe ordered.

"Lucario! Close Combat!" Matt ordered.

"Pidgeot! Aerial Ace!" Yolei ordered.

"Flygon! Scorching Sands!" Ken ordered.

"Venonat! Psychic!" Izzy ordered.

"Altaria! Alluring Voice!" Sora T ordered.

"Venusaur! Petal Blizzard!" Mimi ordered.

"Garchomp! Flamethrower!" Takato ordered.

"Tyranitar! Hyper Beam!" Henry ordered.

"Ninetales! Mystical Fire!" Rika ordered.

"Luxray! Charge Beam!" Jeri ordered.

"Metagross! Flash Cannon!" Kazu ordered.

"Empoleon! Hydro Cannon!" Kenta ordered.

"Gengar! Dark Pulse!" Ryo ordered.

"Buneawy! Jump Kick!" Suzie ordered.

"Camerupt! High Horsepower!" Takuya ordered.

"Manectric! Shock Wave!" Koji ordered.

"Sylveon! Fairy Wind!" Zoe ordered.

"Piloswine! Ice Shard!" Tommy ordered.

"Houndoom! Dark Pulse!" Koichi ordered.

The Pokémon launched their attacks at the Team Galactic Pokémon. The Team Galactic grunts weren't close to giving up.

"Surrender is not an option!" A male Team Galactic grunt said.

The Team Galactic grunts kept on fighting them when Lea, Rei, and Cynthia came riding in.

"Cynthia!" Zoe said.

"Lea, Miss Sakura!" Cody said.

"It's the Champion!" A male Team Galactic grunt exclaimed.

"Not even she can stop us!" Another male Team Galactic grunt scoffed.

"Are you sure?" Cynthia asked.

"Attack!" The first Team Galactic grunt ordered. The Beautifly, Dustox, Golbat, Croagunk, Glameow, Stunky, Bronzor, Sneasel, Houndour, Murkrow, and Absol launched their attack, but the Team Galactic Pokémon were no match for Garchomp due to her battle experience. She easily overpowered some of them as Lea let out his Magmar and joined in.

"Fire Punch!" Lea ordered. Magmar lands a fiery punch on the Beautifly.

"Flamethrower!" Rei ordered. Arcanine fired Flamethrower on the Dustox and Sneasel.

Over to Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, Xion, Ash, Leaf, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Brendan, May, Chase, Elaine, Lucas, Dawn, Wes, Rui, Michael, Pikachu, Angel, Eevee, Azurill, Xipak, Celeste, Marill, Volt, Maple, and Piplup kept running toward the Spear Pillar, but some Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed got in their way.

The Heartless consisted of Shadows, Neoshadows, Soldiers, Sergeants, Deserters, Air Soldiers, Large Bodies, Wizards, Dark Balls, Wyverns, Defenders, and a new Heartless. These were Shadows dressed as Team Galactic grunts. They bore Team Galactic's logo on the uniforms. These Heartless shall be known as the Shadow Galactics.

The Nobodies consisted of Dusks, Creepers, Fighters, Vikings, Gladiators, Mimes, Sorcerers, Snipers, Dragoons, Protectors, Knights, Scholars, Berserkers, Assassins, Dancers, Gamblers, Reapers, Ninjas, and Samurais.

The Unversed consisted of Floods, Scrappers, Bruisers, Red Hot Chilis, Blue Sea Salts, Yellow Mustards, Axe Flappers, Chrono Twisters, Buckle Bruisers, Wild Bruisers, Archravens, and Turtletoads.

"We don't have time to deal with you!" Sora said as he struck down Neoshadow and a Dusk.

A Scrapper rushed at Sora, but he struck it down before it could get to him. They get passed the Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed and continued toward the Spear Pillar. After getting past the evil creatures, they dismissed their Keyblades and made it to the Spear Pillar. They saw it looked like a temple stood there in the ancient days of Hisui.

"This is the place," Dawn said.

"The Spear Pillar," Riku said.

"Cynthia and the others should keep them busy for a while, so Cyrus has to be straight ahead," Lucas said.

"Yes, but he isn't to be bothered," Jupiter said, stepping forward. Mars is with her as well.

"Mars, Jupiter," Kairi said.

"I had a feeling you two were with Cyrus. We already took care of Saturn, so that leaves the two of you, and him," Sora said.

"Is that so? Well, you'll find that the two of us are stronger than Saturn ever was!" Mars said.

"That I can agree with," Jupiter said. She and Mars each took out a Pokéball. They threw their Pokéballs. "Skuntank! Go!"

"Go! Purugly!" Mars called out.

Both Pokéballs opened and their signature Pokémon came out to battle. Sora and Kairi took out their Pokéballs and threw them.

"Stunky! Go!" Sora called out.

"Come on out, Glameow!" Kairi called out. Stunky came out with a swirl of stars as Glameow joined the Shiny Skunk Pokémon.

"You're seriously going with those two? In case you've lost count, they're no match for my Skuntank and her Purugly. This'll be easy," Jupiter said.

"Not as easy as you think, Jupiter. We've done some special training to prepare for this," Kairi said.

"And we're more than ready for the two of you," Sora said.

"You can train as hard you like, but you're never going to be a match for us," Mars said.

"Saturn thought the same thing about my Croagunk, and that's how he got whopped," Sora said.

"Well, we won't make his mistake. Purugly! Slash on that Glameow!" Mars ordered.

"Skuntank! Use Flamethrower on that Stunky!" Jupiter ordered.

"Stunky! Dodge it!" Sora called out.

"You too, Glameow!" Kairi called out.

Both Stunky and Glameow dodged their attacks.

"Use Flamethrower!" Sora ordered.

"Use Secret Power!" Kairi ordered.

Both Pokémon launched their chosen attacks at their evolved forms.

"Purugly! Body Slam!" Mars ordered.

"Night Slash!" Jupiter ordered.

"Dig!" Sora ordered. Stunky dug underground.

"Glameow! Shock Wave!" Kairi ordered. Stunky digs underground as Glameow unleashed Shock Wave, hitting the Tiger Cat Pokémon. Stunky came out and lands a hit onto his evolved form.

"Flamethrower!" Jupiter ordered.

"Iron Tail!" Mars ordered.

"Hyper Beam!" Jupiter ordered. Purugly swings an Iron Tail at Glameow and Skuntank fired Hyper Beam at Stunky. Both Pokémon took a hit from Purugly and Skuntank's attacks. Stunky and Glameow have taken some heavy damage from their bitter rivals. "See? Your Pokémon never stood a chance against Skuntank and Purugly, and they never will."

"If you're smart, you'd call it quits right now," Mars said.

"In your dreams," Kairi said.

"There's no way we would call it quits. We never give up," Sora said.

"And we never will," Kairi said.

"Alright, if you want to humiliate yourselves this badly, we might as well make it happen since you won't exist in the new world anyway," Mars said.

"Let's end this! Skuntank! Dark Pulse!" Jupiter ordered.

"Slash!" Mars ordered. Skunktank fired a Dark Pulse at Stunky and Purugly came toward Glameow.

"Secret Power!" Kairi ordered.

"Flamethrower!" Sora ordered. Stunky and Glameow fired their chosen attacks. Stunky's Flamethrower blocked Skuntank's Dark Pulse as Glameow hits Purugly with Secret Power.

"Play Rough!" Sora and Kairi ordered. Stunky and Glameow gave their evolved forms a series of beatings. Purugly and Skuntank fell to the ruins floor, beaten. Stunky and Glameow felt satisfied with their victory and they began to evolve.

"They're evolving," Kairi said.

"First Croagunk and now, Stunky and Glameow," Sora said. Both Pokémon have finished evolving. The newly evolved Stunky has the same red coloring as Stunky. They all called back their Pokémon.

"You might have defeated us, but Master Cyrus is closer than ever to our ultimate goal!" Mars said.

"You sure you wanna follow him? Cyrus lied to you! He wants this new world all for himself," Sora said.

"No! That's a lie!" Mars hissed.

"He said the new world is for all of us!" Jupiter said.

"And you believed him? Well, I hate to rain on your parade, but I'm gonna say it again! He lied to you! He sees you and all of his other Team Galactic flunkies as nothing!" Sora said.

"Everything you think is true is false! He doesn't care about you or anyone for that matter!" Kairi said.

"None of that is true!" Mars argued.

"Is that what you believe? Then, how about you go ask him yourselves, and maybe you'll know the truth from your beloved leader, and maybe you'll start questioning your loyalty to him!" Sora said.

"Shut up!" Mars shouted. Wes took out a rope and he lassoed them both. He tied them both up.

"That'll be enough out of you," Wes said.

"Now, to deal with Cyrus himself," Roxas said.

Agreeing with Roxas, the group approached Cyrus as he stared right into the altar. He took out what looks like a chain.

"Everything is ready for the creation of a new world. Now, all will end. And everything will begin. With this, the Red Chain is made from the crystals of the three lake Pokémon. And this, the Red Chain I replicated with technological means... With these Red Chains, I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash your power for me…" Cyrus said, taking the Red Chain. The chain swerves around the Team Galactic boss, much to their shock.

"No, it's starting," Rui said.

The two orbs glow brightly as two portals appeared before them.

"Dialga, the master of time! ...And the other. Palkia, the master of space and dimensions!" Cyrus said. Two portals opened before them as Palkia and Dialga stepped out from inside of them, bound in the Red Chains.

"Palkia," Dawn said.

"Dialga," Lucas said.

"The Red Chains are wrapped around them," Leaf said.

"Oh, boy," Sora said.

"Chu," Pikachu said.

"I've waited so long for this moment, Dialga and Palkia. Shaping this world is a double spiral of time and space. Yes, the very things that you have the ability to control! You will do my bidding! I will have your abilities as mine! With the power I wield, I will create an entirely new world! The incomplete and ugly world we have now can disappear. I am resetting everything to zero. Nothing can remain. It is all for making the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain," Cyrus stated. Palkia and Dialga unleashed a strong force of their power.

"Cyrus! Stop!" Sora shouted.

"Stop before it's too late!" Ethan added.

"It's already too late," Cyrus said, finally noticing them.

Back at Professor Rowan's lab, Gary picks it up.

"Professor! We're picking up a powerful burst of energy!" Gary said.

"Palkia and Dialga have been summoned to Mount Coronet. The reading can only be the powers of both space and time. Cyrus is closer to achieving his goal," Professor Rowan said.

Over to the three lakes, Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie sensed Palkia and Dialga's powers, so they teleport to the Spear Pillar. The Lake Guardians appeared before the Masters of Space and Time.

"The Lake Guardians," May said.

"They came from their reapective lakes after we set them free," Elaine said.

"Vee," Maple said.

"I should have expected as much. Uxie, "The Being of Knowledge." Azelf, "The Being of Willpower." And Mesprit, 'The Being of Emotion'..."

"Of course they came here, Cyrus! They're here to protect Sinnoh!" Riku said.

"The Pokémon have come to protect Sinnoh? Pathetic and worthless. It takes the three of them, the three lake Pokémon that symbolize spirit, to balance either the Pokémon of time or space. But they can't maintain balance against the two. Not when both Dialga and Palkia are here. Their coming here is in vain. So much meaningless drama. Now, Sora, Kairi. You've constantly interfered with my plans, but you will be forgiven. After all, there will remain no spirit for all time when I am done. All spirit will disappear. It will be ripped away... From you! From your Pokémon! From those precious to you...! It is time! My dream will be my reality!" Cyrus stated.

"Not if we have anything to say about it, Cyrus!" Sora said.

"Stop this at once, Team Galactic!" A familiar voice spoke. Everyone turned to see Lea, Rei, Cynthia, the DigiDestined, and their Pokémon out as they approached.

"Cynthia!" Chase said.

"You better release those Pokémon immediately!" Cynthia said.

"I cannot do that. I am too close to achieve my goal," Cyrus said.

"Why would you want to create a world that doesn't have emotions or spirit?" Kari asked.

"Because this world is ugly and incomplete. It is a world I require for myself alone," Cyrus said.

"You're totally off the rails, dude!" Kazu said.

"What you say has no consequence for me. I will create a world where there will be no reason to fight," Cyrus said.

"That sounds mighty hypocritical of you, Cyrus! You battled me when we met the last time! You can't really syand by your so-called beliefs when you don't even believe in them yourself!" Sora said.

"That's right! You're not only a liar, but you're a hypocrite, too! Your new world would only be imperfect as well!" Kairi said.

"No, it will be perfect in every way. Your spirits will be the ones to contaminate it," Cyrus said. He is unaware of Mars and Jupiter were listening in on them. The powers began to flux even more as the Lake Guardians broke the Red Chains, freeing the two Pokémon. "Impossible! My Red Chain has crumbled! Why? Why would the Lake Guardians side with the likes of you?"

"Because they want to protect this world as much as we do, Cyrus. You're right about one thing; this world isn't perfect, but it's still our world. We can't always have what we want! Things aren't always fair, but I'm okay with the world we're living in, because it's home to not only people, but Pokémon, too! Sure, it isn't perfect, but it's the world we all live in and accept! When there's life, there's also emotions and spirit! That'll still exist even in your dream world! And that is something you need to accept too, Cyrus. When you opened up your heart and let in those emotions and you would be able to smile and laugh," Sora said. He smiled. "And you would be able to see and hear things you couldn't before."

"He's right, Cyrus. Someone very wise once said to me that the world we live in isn't a perfect place to live in, but we have to make the best of what we have and do what we can. Without emotions and spirit, love, friendship, and bonds wouldn't be forged, and it'll be dull and pointless. Life can be a fun thing when you let it," Rei said. Cyrus growled.

"I cannot accept this. I will never accept this! I will crush you!" Cyrus said, taking out a Pokéball and threw it. His Gyarados came out to battle. "Hyper Beam!" Gyarados fired a Hyper Beam and sends it right at the group.

"Use Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered.

"Copycay on Thunderbolt!" Kairi ordered.

Pikachu fired Thunderbolt as Angel uses Copycat and copies Pikachu's Thunderbolt, blocking Gyarados's Hyper Beam. They push back and land a hit onto the Atrocious Pokémon. Cyrus called back his Gyarados. Palkia and Dialga then undergo a transformation. They appear in their Origin Forms.

"They transformed," Kris said. Another portal opened up. Cyrus looked at it, thinking it was his new world.

"My new world. It's beautiful," Cyrus said, approaching it.

"Cyrus! Stop!" Sora said. Cyrus jumped into the portal.

"IT'S MINE! MINE ALONE!" Cyrus shouted as he ceased from existence. Everyone gasped at the sight of it.

"Cyrus!" Naminé gasped.

"He's dead!" Michael exclaimed.

"He wanted it more than anything, and it lead him to his own oblivion," Cynthia said.

The portal closed as Palkia and Dialga attacked it with Roar of Time and Spacial Rend, closing it. Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Guardians leaves the Spear Pillar and back where they were before.

"It's over," Dawn said.

"Yeah. Millions of people and Pokémon had no idea how close oblivion," Riku said.

"Eevee," Eevee said.

"And most of all, Team Galactic failed," Ash said.

"What a relief," Lyra said.

"Rill," Marill said.

Team Galactic have been defeated, and their evil schemes have been foiled, thanks to Sora, Kairi, and their friends. Every other member of Team Galactic have been arrested. Their threat may have ended, but the threats of Count Ernesh, the Heartless, the Nobodies, and the Unversed still lingers.

Meanwhile, six Keyblades float in six pedestals, leaving seven empty.

"The sixth key has been forged. I almost have half of what I need," a dark and calculating voice said.

It turns out that these Keyblades were forged from the defeats of Evice, Giovanni, Greevil, Maxie, Archie, and now Cyrus. Could it have anything to do with the X-blade? Only time knows the answer to that question.
