AWRIGHTY, THEN! It's time for the final chapter! AAAARGH! The suspense is killing even me! This is gonna be big!

Tidus and Kairi were standing there. They both couldn't speak. They just stood there, staring at each other. It was too much.

"Tidus?"she asked.

"Kairi"he smiled. Finally, they ran and hugged each other.

"Sora saved you"he said happily "He really does love you."

Kairi blushed. She looked at Tidus.

"Wh-what?"she asked sheepishly.

"Sorry"Tidus said, rubbing through his hair nervously.

"How did you get off the island?"Kairi asked quickly.

"I don't know. How did you?"Tidus shrugged.

"The Heartless kidnapped me"she said.

"Is Sora here?"Tidus asked anxiously. Kairi shook her head. Tidus sighed.

"I wanted to tell you how I really felt, but it looks like Sora beat me to it"he said in a defeated voice.

"...Tidus?"Kairi began. Tidus lifted his hand.

"It's okay"he laughed "I know Sora has known you for a lot longer than me. I was looking for you, y'know, though. For a way to save you... Did you hear about Riku?"

"Mm-hm. Listen"she said quietly "Sora left for a place where he can end all this."

"That's great!"Tidus called out, but Kairi shook her head.

" But, I heard if he brings all the worlds back"she continued "we won't be able to see each other again. Us and the people on the other worlds."

Tidus stood there, taking it all in. He wouldn't be able to see Jack again. Not Ariel. Not Leon. Not Yuna. Yuna... Tidus suddenly remembered something. He began to laugh out loud.

"Tidus? What are you doing?"she asked curiously.

"Well"he began, stifling a real laugh "someone I met told me when I'm sad to practice laughing. It really helps."

"Really? Let me try"she said excitedly. The two began to laugh out loud, then they started to laugh for real.

"You're right. It does work"she smiled.

"I'm gonna go help Sora"Tidus said loudly boastfully. "He needs me."

"Before you go, take this"Kairi spoke up. She gave him her necklace.

"For what?"Tidus asked.

"You told me if someone gives something important to them to someone else to borrow, it will keep them safe"she reminded him. Tidus hooked it on the fifth hook on his shoulder plate.

"Thank you, Kairi"he said, hugging her once more.

"Be safe"she said quietly in his arms. With that, he ran off to his ship. He knew this would be the final battle. He shot off and flied fast through space. He stoped at Wonderland, walking out to see Yuna. She looked very happy to see him.

"Tidus! Where have you been?"she asked with a big smile.

"Busy"he said quickly "I want you to know how much I really care about you"he said seriously.

"I care about you too, Tidus"she said passionately.

"I'm going to try and help Sora finish the Heartless once and for all"he spoke to her. Her face lit up at once.

"That's great!"she cheered.

"There's only one problem"Tidus said quietly "If we do finish off the Heartless, we might not be able to see each other again."

Yuna stared at him.

"What do you mean?"she asked, puzzled.

"I honestly don't know"he answered "but Kairi told me people on other worlds might not be able to see each other again."

Tears began to well up in Yuna's eyes. Tidus walked over and hugged her tight.

"Remember what you told me to do"he said, wiping her cheek. "When ever you're sad."

Yuna giggled a little.

"You're right. I will laugh"she said happily.

"If you do ever see me again"Tidus told her "whistle for me, okay?"

"I can't whistle that loud"Yuna said slowly.

"No problem. Put your fingers in your mouth, like this"Tidus said, putting his index and middle fingers in his mouth. He blew hard. Yuna never heard anyone whistle so loud in her life!

"I'll practice! I promise!"she said quickly.

They hugged again.

"I'll never forget you, Yuna... Never..."

He told her to tell Rikku hello, and raced back to his ship. The ship zoomed through space once more, closing in on a heavy power source. The shoulder plate begins to shimmer. He knew he was drawing close. Finally, he saw it. It looks like a solar system the size of a small world. His computer said 'End of the World.' He disembarked and saw Sora and his two friends walk through a portal.

"SORAAAAAAA!!"he called out as loud as he could. He began to run for his friend, but a portal appeared infront of him. He was helpless as it sucked him up into it. He found himself floating in a familiar, white abyss. And then he heard it. A deep, grim voice he knew he heard before.

"This world is already lost... Tied to the darkness... Why search when you won't be, anymore... Struggle no more... Be at peace... This is your sanctuary... You dwell here... Now and forever... You are alone in the void... There is nothing you can do now... They were creatures called Heartless... Creatures without a heart to call their own... So they hunger for the hearts of others... Even the heart of a world... They consumed the heart of your world... It's now gone... Left only in your memories... A meaningless effort... You are a body and mind who are no longer meant to exist... Why you still are awake I don't know... But there may be one way out... You are a willing body without an escape... I am a mind who knows a way out with no body... Perhaps if you allowed me to join you... We could both escape... That is impossible... Incredible... How could you manage to escape... Without my power..."

The words continued to repeat. Tidus knew what these word were. The voice that spoke to him when he escaped from the void after Destiny Island was absorbed. As these words continued to repeat, he remembered the other voice, which sounded a lot like the King's voice.

"Remember... The light is your friend"Tidus recited, remembering the voice. "Don't allow yourself to be claimed by the darkness. You are now free. Free from the darkness. But somewhere, somehow, someone isn't free. Keep that in mind."

Tidus remembered that voice and those words well. He was ready to free whoever else wasn't free. He was also fed up with hearing the same quotes over and over again from the voice he heard around him.

"Shaddup!!"Tidus cried out. The voice stopped at once. He floated there in the abyss. Just then, his shoulder plate began to glow again. A new portal opened, and he flew through. He was standing on Destiny Island! But it was like all time had stopped. Soar and Riku were in the middle of a race. Wakka was looking up at a Blitzball. Kairi was putting a luck charm together. Selphie was in the middle of a skip with her jump rope. But no one moved. Not even a wave or a seagull, which was stopped in mid-air. Just then, someone moved. A man jumped down from a tree. It was Jecht.

"Dad?"Tidus asked.

"Yeah. It's me..."he said gruffly.

"What's going on?"Tidus asked. Jecht said nothing. Tidus saw something on his chest. The Mark of the Heartless! His dad became a Heartless!

"Dad... What happened to you?"

"What's wrong, your eyes or your memory?"his father said harshly "Didn't you see all those Heartless gang up on me?"

"Yeah... but..."Tidus stuttered.

"I'm one of them, now, or atleast I'm almost one of them now"he said calmly "I've been able to hold back, but I won't be able to much longer. I'm gonna end up loosing my mind, an' become a true Heartless."

"Why are you telling me this?"Tidus asked shakily.

"Because, Tidus. I need you to fight me"Jecht said.

Tidus stood there. Fight his own father? But how!?

"No... I WON'T!"Tidus yelled.

"C'mon! You fought loads of the things! What's one more gonna be?"his father demanded.

"But-sniff-you're my father"Tidus said tearful.

"Stop yer' bawlin', boy!"Jecht commanded ."You always cried too much. How'd you get through all this if you're such a baby? I want you to do this before it's too late. I don't want to be a real Heartless, you don't wanna fight me. But both are gonna happen."

He walked over to Tidus and hugged him.

"I'll be fine, son. I'll be fine"he said as he embraced him. Tidus found himself trying to utter words he always wanted to to Jecht, but couldn't force them for some reason.

"I want you to know dad... I.. I h... I ha..."he uttered, but he couldn't take it anymore.

"I love you, dad"he cried out.

"I love you, too, Tidus"Jecht said comforting his son. "I'm sorry I was always so hard on you."

"I never got to say thank you for saving me"he said, looking up at his father. "That day, so many years ago. You saved me from Seymour. I wanted to say thank you dad. But I didn't know how."

"I know, son. I know. Now, end this before it begins"Jecht said straitening himself, similar to how Tidus did before most battles. He drew a long sword that looked like Tidus' while Tidus drew his sword. They both lunged. Their blades clashed loudly. They both glared at each other. Jecht began to push Tidus down.

"Fight back, kid!"he called. "I'm not gonna hold back with the Heartless takin' control of me."

"SHADDUP!"Tidus cried out.

He shoved Jecht back and jumped onto his sword and surfed at Jecht.

"C'mon!"Jecht called.

He jumped onto his sword and surfed at Tidus. He hit Tidus, who went flying and crashed into the side of the cliff. He got up slowly. He glared angrily at his father.

"Why, Tidus?"he demanded. "Why won't you fight back?"

Tidus began to run, swinging wildly at Jecht.

"HEARTLESS! I HATE YOU, HEARTLESS!"he called, blinded by fury. He cut Jecht's arm lightly.

"Lucky hit"Jecht called. "Swing like a crazy guy won't help you."

"Shaddup, you Heartless! I'll finish you!"Tidus called. He ran at Jecht and swung hard. Jecht blocked and huge sparks flew.

"That's more like it!"Jecht taunted.

"SHADDUP!!"

Tidus jumped back and used his Torpedostrike at Jecht. He hit him square in the chest, and Jecht went flying. He smashed into a the same cliff he knocked Seymour into. His eyes turned red. Tidus shook it off as if he just noticed who he's fighting.

"Dad? What's wrong? Are you okay?"he called running over to him. Jecht shot at Tidus and started swinging hard at Tidus. Tidus jumped up and used his Energyrain. Jecht went flying into the shore.

"DAD!"Tidus called.

"TIDUS!"Ject called in a coarse voice. "I'm turning. I'm gonna be a true Heartless now. Tidus! You have to finish me now! I won't be myself when I become a Heartless. If you're gonna finish me, you gotta do it now! You won't be able to beat me when I become a Heartless"

Tidus stared.

"Wha-"

"NOW!"Jecht commanded.

Tidus ran at Jecht. He jumped at Jecht and jabbed the sword down into Jecht's back. He looked up slowly.

"Thanks, Tidus... you are a man..."he uttered slowly. "I want you to know how proud of you I am. Finish off that guy... I'm counting on you..."

Jecht faded away into hundreds of Pyreflies. Tidus hung his head, and began to cry. He suddenly remembered who was behind all this.

"ANSEM! WHY!?"Tidus called out in anguish. Just then, a voice he never heard before spoke to Tidus.

"Tidus"it said kindly "don't cry... your friends are with you..."

Tidus looked up. The motionless Wakka turns to a wisp of blue light. It fused with Tidus' sword to become the Brotherhood! The Selphie faded and became a bracer with a shield on Tidus' arm.

"The light is your friend"the voice continued "but so are they... never forget that..."

Another portal opened and Tidus walked through. He was in the abyss again. But he wasn't alone. He could tell.

"Who's there?"Tidus called, at ready.

"You, comer of light"said a very familiar voice "why is it you returns to darkness?"

A tall man with black clothes, burning eyes and long white hair floated slowly down toward Tidus.

"Who are you?"Tidus demanded.

"Why do you return? It's so peculiar"he said calmly. "You were once a captive of the dark void, and yet, you return to the void. Most interesting. But why?"

"What is this place anyway?"Tidus asked.

"You exist only in memories. This is a place in your dreams. Your islands dreams"the man explained.

"Didn't you say it was only memories?"Tidus asked, confused.

"Fool! You know nothing!"the man spat. "Memories and dreams are one in the same."

"You're... you're Ansem... aren't you..."Tidus asked quietly. The man nodded with an evil smile. Tidus felt his anger boil.

"So that Destiny Island I was at-"

"Yes"Ansem responded ."It was a dream of your island, exactly as it remembered everything."

Tidus stood there. He was in a dream of the island!

"What do you want?"he asked quickly. Ansem's wicked smile faded into a grimace.

"You are guilty"he said.

"Guilty!? Guilty of what!?"Tidus demanded.

"You exist when you are not meant to. An unforgivable crime"Ansem accused.

"What are you talking about?! I escaped!"

"From your fate!"Ansem continued, now becoming infuriated. "Fate is not meant to be evaded! The fate of all occurs not by chance! Fate is inevitable! All fates pass through, and gather together! So it has been since the dawn of time! Now you will suffer for your crime!"

"What about Sora, Kairi, RIKU!?"he demanded. Ansem chuckled darkly.

"Riku left through a portal into darkness, Kairi was taken away with the Heartless, and Sora's Keyblade and Kairi's heart protected him. You had a chance to escape"he added, pointing menacingly at Tidus "and yet, you jumped back into the void. Henceforth, you are not meant to exist, and so you shall be punished!"

"What's worse than not existing?"

"DEATH!"Ansem snarled.

He shot at Tidus. Tidus leapt out of the way as he flew around at Tidus.

"DIE!"Ansem called. He lifted his fist and hundreds of explosions appeared around Tidus. He was blown far away. Ansem then blew fire from his hand at Tidus(before you say something about Ansem not having these attacks in the game, he has more powers in the abyss).

"SUBMIT!"Ansem called furiously. He sent a burst of energy at Tidus. Once again, he went flying. He rose slowly. Ansem flew over to him and punched him hard. He collapsed.

"Forfeit!"Ansem demanded.

"NEVER!"Tidus called. "HASTE!"

He jumped up, but Ansem was still faster. He knocked him out of the sky. Tidus ran faster, Ansem following. Tidus instantly turned and used his Surferstrike. Ansem clearly did not foresee this, and is cut hard. Tidus leapt off and used Torpedostrike and hit Ansem again. He jumps up and uses Spiralcut and hit him once more, but Ansem was ready this time. He counter, HARD, and Tidus went flying, remarkably landing on his feet. Swaying, he lifted the sword again.

"Try me"he called in fury. "It's your fault my dad is gone! I'LL FINISH YOU!"

He ran at Ansem, who just smiled. He readied his mind for a quick counter, but Tidus fooled him. He threw the sword at Ansem, who was cut deeply with it. Tidus threw one of his Blitzball bombs into the air, leapt on the sword, and used Blitz Arc. The bomb hit Ansem square in the face. The blast blew Tidus' sword into the air, and he caught it. The smoke cleared and Tidus walked over to Ansem, who was doubled over. Tidus came over to him and lifts his sword.

"This is for my father"Tidus said with solemnly.

"Wait!"Ansem called. "Before you kill me..."

He looked up at Tidus and turned into Riku in his Heartless armor. Tidus stared and dropped his sword. He couldn't bring himself the destroy Ansem, not while he was in control of Riku. He continued to stare.

"...Riku..."

"Yes"Riku spoke with Ansem's voice. "You see now, there is no point. You wouldn't dare hurt your dear friend. So is the flaw of a heart! You are nothing!" He punched Tidus hard in the face. he stumbled back a little. "A MEANINGLESS MEMORY WITH THE MOST MEANINGLESS THING IN EXISTENCE! A HEART!!"

He swung Riku's sword at Tidus, leaving a deep cut. Tidus collapsed instantly and lied there. It was all for nothing. He came all this way to be destroyed by someone who possessed Riku. It wasn't fair! Ansem returned to his true self, and walked over to Tidus. He kicked him hard, and he slid a few feet away.

"Yes. You see poor little Riku just wanted to protect his friends"Ansem said with glee. "He surrendered himself to the darkness. I gave him powers he didn't even believe existed, in exchange for his body. I gave you that same chance! How you managed to escape without me I still don't know. But Riku took my offer, as you did not. Existence again in exchange for your body, but you refused, and so you shall be punished!"

Ansem picked up Tidus' sword and smacked him with the broad side. Tidus' mind was swimming so much he couldn't scream, grunt, or even moan from the pain. Why did he come this far for nothing? It didn't make sense! Ansem prepared one more attack, clearly to finish off Tidus, then faded away. Tidus got up and looked around.

"Where'd you go?"he called.

"Kingdom Hearts"he heard Ansem's voice echo.

"What's Kingdom Hearts?"Tidus demanded.

"One who knows nothing can understand nothing"Ansem repeated. "You are... Already lost... Why search..."

Tidus was alone in the abyss once more. He started to look around. Nothingness, as far as the eye could see.

"A place in my dreams"Tidus said to himself.

Suddenly, he felt his shoulder plate resonating again. He turned and saw her. A gorgeous young girl. Was it Kairi? She looked just like her, only she had blond hair.

"Kairi?"

"No... I'm not..."she said quietly.

"Then"Tidus asked quietly "who are you?"

"I'm... What's left..."she said in almost a whisper.

"What's left..? What's left of what?"Tidus asked slowly.

"Of something..."she said quietly.

Tidus couldn't stand it anymore! He ran over to her.

"Who are you, really?"he asked loudly.

"My name is Namine'"she confessed. "I'm the same as you. I'm not meant to exist."

Tidus felt a question in the back of his mind.

"Why... Why would Ansem want to destroy me if I were already not meant to exist- sorry. I guess you don't know what I'm talking about."

"I do"Namine' said calmly. "You see, if you were to die, it would be terrible but you would still exist. Nobody would forget you. But if you were to die when you weren't meant to exist, it would be as if you never existed. You see, the memories of your world have you in it. If your world were brought back with out you alive, its memories of you would be lost too. Memories are like a chain, and if one link is gone, all the other links will break and disappear, your world would slowly fall apart, and as soon as it did, so would others. Everything is connected, Tidus. Everyone is important."

"...What world are you from?"he asked.

"None. I was never meant to exist..."she said sadly.

A tear slid down her cheek. Tidus wiped it. He had no idea what she meant by this, but decided not to talk with her about it.

"Where did Ansem go?"he asked, changing the subject.

"... That was not Ansem"she responded.

"Do what?"

"It was the Heartless of someone named Xehanort"she continued. "He called himself Ansem, because he believed himself of equal status of the real Ansem."

"How do you know this?"Tidus asked in awe.

"I don't know"Namine' said. "It's just there."

They both stood there, silent.

"Where did Xehanort go?"Tidus asked again.

"Sora found Kingdom Hearts, the place where all hearts gather and become one. They are in the final battle, now. All we can do is hope"she said, her voice full of both fear and concern.

"...Hey"Tidus spoke up. "If dreams and memories are the same, how come I dreamed of meeting you?"

Namine' chuckled lightly.

"Your dreams of your memories aren't always memories you've seen before. Sometimes they are memories that will happen later."

Tidus stood there, thinking about what Namine' just said. They both sat down, side by side, silent, holding hands. After about an hour, Tidus spoke up again.

"Why here? Can't we leave?"

"No"Namine' responded. "Only Xehanort could leave. You left because your world wanted you to leave. That's why it brought you to the island when the Heartless attacked, and why it brought your father to the island too, so he could give you the sword to defend yourself. It also brought him to the island to save you from Seymour. It wanted you to live and exist."

Tidus was in disbelief. How did she know so much about everything that happened.

"How do you know all this?"he asked at once.

Namine' sat silently for a moment.

"Sit still"she said. "Listen closely. The island will talk to you. Here in the void, it can talk to you."

Tidus sat there, listening hard. He heard something. It was a warning from the same voice he heard on the memory of the island when he got his new sword and shield. It was telling him someone was coming.

"Tidus! Ready yourself!"It called. "Your final battle is approaching on swift winds!"

Tidus jumped up and drew his sword. Namine' stood up slowly with him

"I heard it, too"she said. "It was the island."

Tidus stood there, waiting. Then he saw it. A figure in a black, hooded cloak. An Organization Member! Tidus jumped for a kick at the figure, but the figure drew two Keyblades. One was the Oathkeeper, the other was the Oblivion. The figure swung both of them at Tidus, who took both of them to the back. Falling to the ground, he grabbed the hood and tore it off as he fell. It was Roxas!

"Sora?"he asked.

"You wish!"Roxas taunted.

He charged at Tidus and swung both Keyblades countless times, Tidus blocking them all in seconds. Namine' gasped.

"I'll tear you apart!"Roxas snarled.

"Why are you doing this?!"Tidus called, not wanting to fight him. Roxas smiled wickedly.

"It's what I do! I'll finish you, then take care of your little friend next!"

"I DON'T THINK SO!"Tidus yelled, beside himself with fury at Roxas' threat. "YOU'LL NEVER TOUCH NAMINE'!"

Tidus charged at Roxas, holding his sword high. He swung, but Roxas disappeared. Then he felt his sword get heavy. He looked up. Roxas was standing on the end.

"What's the point of being worthless to the universe if you don't even act the part?"he criticized. "You're less than US!"

Roxas swung hard at Tidus. Tidus went flying. Roxas charged, digging his Keyblades in the ground as he ran. He swung at Tidus again. He crashed in a heap. Tidus got up slowly and wiped a small trickle of blood from his mouth. He swayed and looked at Roxas. Roxas began to laugh.

"Why?"

"You are nothing!"Roxas roared with glee. "We Nobodies are more than you, even!"

Roxas ran to Tidus again, swinging his Keyblade. Tidus blocked, but Roxas swung his other Keyblade at Tidus. Remembering the shield that Selphie became, he blocked it. Tidus shoved Roxas away and surfed at him. He sliced at him several times, then jumped off and used Spiralcut. Roxas took a head-on-hit and went flying.

"NOW WHAT?!"Tidus boasted. He ran at Roxas, but then, Roxas used it. Strikeraid! He started to throw both his Keyblades at Tidus like boomerangs, hitting him hard each time. Tidus' body was beginning to sting. Finally, he lost his footing and tripped. Roxas walked over to him.

"It's time to end this"Roxas said with spite. He used Ars Arkanum, dealing six hits to Tidus' back, then smashed them down hard. Tidus screamed in agony.

"It ends now!"Roxas announced happily. He began to use Ragnarok, flinging Tidus high into the air, then firing six beams at Tidus. Tidus crashed into the ground.

"I-S... A-L-L... Y-O-U... W-A-N-T... P-A-I-N?"Tidus uttered slowly. Roxas nodded with a large grin.

"You see, it's not enough that I win"he began "it's the knowledge that you lost that I want."

"So... all... you... want... is... pain?"Tidus asked once more.

" ... Yes"Roxas said calmly. Tidus snapped. He jumped high into the air, despite his aching back, and uses Energyrain.

"HOW 'BOUT THIS PAIN, HUH?!"he called furiously as the beams rained down. Roxas got hit head on and fell back. Tidus ran fast and used Haste. Tidus swung hard with the broad side of his sword, sending Roxas flying through the air once more. Roxas threw his Keyblade again. Tidus felt his ankle break as the Keyblade hit it. He knelt over as Roxas charged at him once more, digging his Keyblades into the ground as he ran. The sound of the sparks was deafening. Tidus lifted the sword in between him and Roxas. Roxas began to swing his Keyblades down on the sword, harder, harder and harder. Tidus could barely stand holding the sword up with each crushing blow Roxas delivered. Tears began to stream down his face. It couldn't end like this. It just couldn't!

"Give UP!"Roxas commanded. Finally, he knocked the sword from Tidus' hands. Tidus reached for it, but Roxas slammed his Keyblade down on it. He pointed his other Keyblade at Tidus' face.

"It's over, Tidus"Roxas smiled. Tidus stood up slowly on his good ankle.

"You're right. It IS over"he said quietly. "Over for you!"

He swung a fist at Roxas, hitting him hard in the face. Falling over, he lifted his Keyblade off Tidus' sword. Tidus grabbed it and lifted it. He felt it pulse and swung hard. Roxas went flying. Tidus grabbed an elixir from his pack while he had the chance and drank it. His ankle healed and he felt himself grow stronger. He noticed the bottle was bigger, and realized at once it was a Mega-lixir! He ran at Roxas, ready to end it. Roxas, feeling shaken, threw his Keyblades at Tidus. Tidus knocked one away and grabbed the other. He threw it at Roxas, who was hit by it. Tidus used Hastaga and began to hack at Roxas repeatedly. Finally, he threw the sword at Roxas, which cut him and stuck in the ground behind him. Tidus jumped onto the sword and threw a red disc, covered with blades, into the air. It was his last bomb, he noticed. He jumped into the air.

"HYAAAAAAAAAA! BLITZ ARC!!"

He kicked the bomb at Roxas. Direct Hit! The explosion was massive compared to the last ones. Tidus caught his sword as it fell out of the air. He turned and saw Roxas, out cold, on the ground. Tidus walked over to him and raised his sword.

"No Tidus, don't!"Namine' called. Tidus stared at Namine'. Why did she want him to spare Roxas?

"Why?"he demanded. "After what he did. After what he said he would do. Why let him live?"

"He's part of someone"Namine' told Tidus. Tidus was overcome with confusion once more. "That's what Nobodies are"she continued "I'm a Nobody. So is Roxas. He's part of someone. Just like if you died, the person Roxas is part of wouldn't be whole ever again, just like your island."

"Who is he part of?"Tidus asked slowly.

"Look at him"Namine' said. Tidus stared at him again. He remembered who he thought he was first.

"He's part of Sora?!"Tidus called in shock.

"Yes"Namine' said "so he must live."

Tidus stood there, once again thinking. Suddenly, he felt the ground shake. He looked at himself. His arm was fading away. It looked like it was million of sands flying in a breeze.

"What's happening to me?"Tidus called in puzzlement.

"Sora won, Tidus!"Namine' called out. "He beat Xehanort! Your island's coming back. You're going home!"

Tidus and Namine' smiled. But he saw it. A tear falling down Namine's cheek. He wiped it away.

"You exist again"she said in almost a whisper.

"Namine'... I don't care if you were never meant to exist"Tidus said to her. "I'll never forget you. I promise!"

"And... I'll never forget you... Tidus"she smiled.

If you have the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack, play 'Simple and Clean(Slow version)' now. Tidus began to fade more. A wisp of energy came out of the Brotherhood, and turned into Wakka, asleep. Another wisp came out of the bracer, and turned into Selphie, sitting. The three faded away. Tidus found himself on Destiny Island again. He watched as the stars returned into the night sky once more. Then he saw her. Namine'? No, Kairi. They both ran to each other, and smiled at each other. Tidus gave her the necklace back and she gave Tidus his sand dollar. They both smile and turn to the night sky. The next day, Tidus was walking around his home at the mainland. His father was nowhere to be found. He walked into his room and saw his sword and shoulder plate. Under his sword is a letter. He read it silently, walking outside. He noticed the large F shape that his father had tattooed on his chest at the bottom of the note. With that, he looked up to the sky. The smile on his face and silent tears streaming down his face say it all. He will search the whole universe for his father. He's still out there. And Tidus knows it. Let the song end, now.

Epilogue: Namine' is sitting in the middle of a very familiar dirt road with Roxas, who is still out cold. A shadow is cast over them. She looks up and sees... Axle!

"Both you get up"he commanded. "You're coming with us."

He smiles wickedly.

The End

Woah! What a rush! Well, I hope you liked it. I'm still freaking out about this! I loved this story, and I can only hope you all did, too. By-the-by, I know that as soon as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days comes out, this whole theory of how Roxas and Namine' came to be is gonna be blow to bits. So, I guess this is going to turn into a what if story. Still good, though. LOL. If you're wondering when Jecht saved Tidus from Seymour, read Battle for Infinity. These two fics will play immense parts in my Big, Master Kingdom Hearts Fanfic. But until then, I'm taking a break from Kingdom Hearts for a while. Don't worry, though. It won't be that long a break. And if you liked this story, I'm now working on The Journey of Tidus II: The Search for Three. Check it out if you want, it will play a smaller part in my Grand Master Kingdom Hearts fic, too. Lastly, read Kingdom Hearts ANIME from my best friend. It's pretty good. I'm making Chain of ANIMEmories as a favor for him. Awright, that's all. Peace! Take it easy.
