Happy New Year guys!

This will most likely be the last chapter. Most likely because I can't think of too much more to add that will lengthen the fic AND keep me interested enough to make it that long. I apologize, but I will do everything I can to extend this chapter to the best of my abilities.

Dx: Which means about five thousand words, minus OC time.

Jenny: That might be true, but go for it anyways.

LR: Let's GO!

Everyone looks at him.

LR: What? Somebody had to say it!

Time to finish this fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own. If I did, you'd know. Everyone would know.

(Chapter Begin)

(Recap)

(Radiant Garden)

Sora could not believe it. Well, he could, as it made sense, but still… Being in front of all three Keyblade Masters was still awe-inspiring.

He had finally reunited with Kairi and the others, who had returned from Olympus Coliseum, Ventus and Takuya's match called off due to Monster attack.

"So, Ventus," said Sora, speaking a question he had on his mind for at least an hour, "Any ideas on how I can get to wield a Keyblade again?"

"To be honest, I didn't know you would receive the Keyblade when my heart rested in yours. I honestly don't know, Sora. I'm sorry," apologized Ventus.

"It's okay," replied Sora, "Even if I can't wield a Keyblade for the moment, I can still try to utilize the spells I have. I was able to pull off a basic Fire spell; so maybe with some training, I can relearn my arsenal to use even without a Keyblade."

"That actually sounds like a good idea," said King Mickey.

"There's still the problem with Xehanort. He's going to return to get Sora back," said Takuya.

"We won't let that happen," said Kairi.

"I don't know," said Roxas, "If Ventus and Vanitas do battle again, then the X-Blade will re-forge and Xehanort will have everything in place to take Kingdom Hearts once more."

"Until then," finished Xion, "We just have to keep practicing and getting stronger."

Everyone was fearful of the future, but with everyone together, it was possible to defeat Xehanort once more.

"You let him get away!" exclaimed Braig.

"Well, Terra returned for his armor, and I wasn't exactly fresh for battle, mind you!" countered Vanitas, who was really getting sick of the sniper.

"Don't worry," said Xehanort, calm as ever, "It doesn't matter. They will return here to finish what they started. Until then, we prep our strongest minions to finish off the trainees. The battle that will soon arrive will shake the very foundations of the worlds, and this time, I will rule supreme!"

'Not if I can still do something to stop you,' thought Ventus's counterpart, 'Sora's the guardian of Kingdom Hearts, I won't let him be used as such!'

(Recap End)

(Radiant Garden)

Meanwhile, back in Radiant Garden, Sora spent the next few days relearning to use his spells without the use of a Keyblade. Takuya, on the other hand, got the feeling something bad was happening back home.

'I know what you mean,' replied Agunimon, 'the others are feeling restless as well. Something's happening and we can't get there to help. We need to find out what before it's too late.'

Before Takuya could get back to the others, a portal appeared, and Vanitas walked out.

"Don't tell me: Keep Sora away. We need to stop Xehanort. Etc. Etc. Etc.," drawled Takuya, "Sora's been training, he'll be ready."

"Actually, I'm here for you," replied Vanitas calmly, something he picked up from Xehanort after working with him for so long, "You're friends have been captured."

"Dude. Don't even DARE kid about that. My friends have nothing to do with this!"

"They have about as much as you do in this. Which, now, is enough for Master Xehanort to use them as leverage."

"Just whose side are you on?" asked Takuya, wondering why Vanitas was acting this way.

"You could say Sora has changed me, for the better," replied Vanitas, "By learning what his own heart knows so well, my only desire now is to protect Kingdom Hearts. Tell Ventus: I'm ready when he is. He'll know."

Vanitas then left in another portal, leaving Takuya alone.

"I just can't figure that guy out," said Takuya, as he made his way back to the others, but not before turning into Flamon and kicking a wall to his right, sending cracks through it.

Sora was exhausted. He had really been put through his paces. Training with the Keyblade by himself before was cake compared to relearning all these spells. But, the upside was he had now mastered his Fire, Ice, and Thunder elements, as well as getting decent in healing. Another upside was getting to train with each of the Masters, as well as his friends, who were also getting stronger. He was definitely impressed when he saw Riku channel Darkness Impulse for the first time, as well as Kairi with Ghost Drive. Both Terra and Aqua said that they still had a ways to go before mastering the command styles they were learning. He also attempted any Drives he could, particularly limit, but only found that Limit only increased his base powers. He had yet to Master his Sonic Blade, Ars Arcanum and Strike Raid, mainly because those required Keyblades to actually work. He also didn't have enough power without the Keyblade to perform Ragnarok as well. He just hoped that changed before the final battle. Before he, Aqua, and Kairi could return to Merlin's place, Takuya raced up to them.

"Guys," said Takuya, "We can't way any longer. Xehanort now has my friends and I won't wait in getting them back."

"Alright," said Aqua, "I'll gather the others, and we'll head in the Gummy Ship."

So, Aqua left to get the others, leaving Sora and Kairi with Takuya.

"Who told you this?" asked Sora.

"Vanitas," replied Takuya, "I just don't understand him. He's the source of the Unversed but nearly everything he's doing is actually trying to help us."

"Do you think he's not really evil?" spoke up Kairi, "I mean, I may be a Princess of Light, but I know that there are those without Light, as I am without Darkness, that are good inside."

"We'll see," said Sora, "Right now, we need to get to the Keyblade Graveyard."

Sora didn't know if he could match Xehanort, particularly at his full power. But that never stopped him before. Soon, he will know whether or not he truly IS a Keyblade Wielder.

"Just who are you?" asked/demanded Koji.

"Just let us go," added JP.

"What are you going to do with us?" cried out Zoey.

"Takuya will find us!" shouted Tommy.

"You have no idea what you brought upon yourself," finished Koichi.

Xehanort only smirked as he listened to the cries of these children, these Legendary Warriors.

"I wouldn't worry, children," replied Xehanort, "Takuya and the others are sure to arrive to rescue you. However, they will be defeated and I will rule all the worlds, including yours. So, you either get with the program, or I turn you into Heartless and Nobodies that will follow my orders without questions."

Koji just gave him a look.

"Takuya is far more powerful than you can imagine. When he gets us free, we'll show you what it means to be Legendary Warriors."

"Oh, I'm sure I know full well of Takuya's abilities, particularly when he merged with Sora," replied Xehanort, "Takuya couldn't match me alone as a Nobody and he knows it. He has no chance at stopping me in my true form."

"Just what is a Heartless and Nobody," asked Koichi.

"I know they may not have existed in your world until recently, but I guess I can tell you that," answered Xehanort, before informing them what Takuya had learned from Mickey and Riku in his first days away from the Digital World.

Meanwhile, Braig was waiting for his quarry to arrive. With his powers from his Nobody form intact, he could wipe out up to half of them before they could stop him. Having Heartless and Nobodies keep them busy would only help him. He didn't have to wait for too long, as he saw the Gummy ship stop a few feet from the ground and Takuya, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Roxas, and Xion jumped out. Smirking, he summoned about a hundred Nobodies.

"Guys, go on ahead!" shouted Mickey, as he, Donald, and Goofy brought out their weapons, "We'll deal with these guys."

(AN1)

Without argument, the others continued on their way, as the champions of Disney Castle battled the Nobodies. Braig smirked as he used a Dark Portal to appear in front of them.

"Sorry, but I'm not letting you any farther," he said, bringing out his weapons.

"Guys go," said Roxas, summoning Oblivion.

"We'll handle our former fellow member," added Xion, calling forth Oathkeeper.

(AN2)

Takuya just changed into Flamon and sped on past Braig with the others behind him. Soon, they got to a small clearing with rock pillars all around them. Three figures appeared in the distance and the Masters recognized them as the Trinity Armor Unversed they battled years ago in Radiant Garden.

"We've beaten that thing once, and we can do it again," said Ventus, but Riku held up his hand.

"Let Kairi and me take this guy down. You need to help Sora against Xehanort," he said, pulling out Way to Dawn and Soul Eater in duel wield.

"We can do this," added Kairi, bring out Destiny's Embrace, "You've trained us, remember?"

"Just don't let down your guard," replied Aqua.

"He was tough for us, even back then," added Terra, "Just be careful."

"Right," replied Riku and Kairi as the remaining group of four headed towards the Keyblade battle sight.

(AN3)

When they got there, they saw Xehanort waiting for them, with Vanitas by his side. Flamon saw his friends behind them, tied to a rock formation summoned by Xehanort himself.

"Remember Terra," said Aqua, "We can't just rush in like last time. We nearly got killed that way."

"I know. I've shared a body with him for twelve years as a result, Aqua," replied Terra, "Ven, you up for Vanitas?"

"Ready or not," replied Ventus, smiling slightly, "It's here."

Flamon Digivolved into Agunimon as Xehanort and Vanitas stepped forward, away from their friends.

"Good to see you back," said Xehanort, "Twelve years it's been. I guess time really doesn't stay kind to everyone."

"Especially not to you," quipped Ventus, "You look like your over a hundred years old. If it weren't for the fact that you're a great Keyblade Master, I'd doubt you'd be a worthy opponent."

"And yet, here you are, well aware the challenge before you. Let's see what you've learned," replied Xehanort.

Agunimon charged in first, before changing into BurningGreymon and taking to the skies. The others charged in behind him, activating their armors, intent on keeping Xehanort and Vanitas busy while Takuya rescued his friends.

(AN4)

No matter how many they slew down, more nobodies just popped up. Mickey was getting tired of this; Donald was getting low on magic while Goofy was slowly but surely tiring out.

"Guys, let's show them the true power of Disney Champions!" called out Mickey.

"Right," replied Donald and Goofy.

Mickey jumped into the air while Goofy tossed his shield towards Donald. Using the rest of his magic power, he focused his best spell and fired at the shield and sending it upwards. Donald and Goofy then skedaddled out of the area to get out of range of the last attack that Mickey initiated. Mickey summoned most of his power into the Shooting Star Keyblade, in a Bladecharge Command Style and bashed the shield back down, full of power from both the spell and the blade, allowing it to destroy all the Nobodies in the battlefield in a single explosion. The trio regrouped, now exhausted from that Trinity Limit.

(AN5)

More Nobodies showed up, much to their annoyance and dismay. They didn't have a lot of energy left to fight. Just before a few Nobodies jumped on them, they were destroyed by what sounded like Gunshots. They turned towards the source of the noise, only to see Leon holding out his Gunblade. With him were Yuffie, Aerith, and Tifa.

(AN6)

"Don't think you were going to leave us out of this," said Leon, bringing his Gunblade behind his back.

Aerith used a Healing spell to help them recover, while Yuffie threw them a few Elixirs, to speed up their Magic recovery.

"Go, we'll keep these Nobodies busy!" urged Tifa.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy nodded and moved on to help the others, knowing that the others would be just behind them.

Meanwhile, Roxas and Xion were having a somewhat difficult time taking down Braig. Having being restored to his original form not only increased his strength and power, but also his speed. Making it hard to even hit him, spells or otherwise.

"Why don't you fight like a man!" taunted Roxas.

"And let you kids defeat me? I've been around for years. I'm not about to…" started Braig, but he was cut off by a shield hitting him in the back.

A thunder spell shocked him for a few seconds, paralyzing him and allowing Roxas and Xion time to see Donald and Goofy approaching them. They turned to see Mickey get up close and personal with Braig before the paralysis wore off and he warped away.

"Not bad, mouse," said Braig, "But your too late. Look behind me."

Everyone looked to see the clouds parting, revealing Kingdom Hearts once more. That meant that Ventus and Vanitas managed to re-forge the X-Blade.

"We gotta get there, now!" shouted Mickey.

"Xion, let's do it," said Roxas.

"Right, Roxas," replied Xion.

Roxas then seemingly dismissed Oblivion, only for six blades, three white and three black, appeared behind him.

"Wingblade Command Style!" shouted Roxas, before moving in at quick speeds to attack Braig with.

"Not fast enough!" shouted Braig, as he started to warp again.

However, Xion cut him off.

"Sky Climber Command Style!" called out Xion, using fast moves on Oathkeeper to prevent Braig from moving.

This allowed Roxas to attack Braig with all six of his blades, Light and Darkness as one.

"Damn you Roxas! And Xion!" shouted Braig.

"Oh shut up," countered Xion.

"Just join Kingdom Hearts already!" added Roxas, using his Keyblade to direct Braig's fleeting heart into the big heart in the sky.

With no heart to sustain the body any longer, it quickly faded back into nothing, where the Nobody arrived from, never to be seen or heard from again.

"Let's go!" shouted Mickey, leading the way as the five of them raced to help the others.

Sora was unsure as to just how he planned to battle Xehanort. Even utilizing his spells, he either missed due to Xehanort's speed, or Xehanort deflected his spells with ease as he battled Terra and Aqua. Through all this, nobody noticed Ventus and Vanitas approached each other and brought out their Keyblades that were once wielded by Sora and Mickey. Crossing the blades, they once again re-forged into the X-Blade, and a beam shot into the sky from the blade tip. The clouds were soon rolling back, revealing Kingdom Hearts.

"Time to show Xehanort what the true power of Twilight looks like," said Vanitas.

"Let's do it, partner," replied Ventus, as they merged into one themselves.

Ven's left eye changed into that of Vanitas, as with the hair on his right side darkened. The X-Blade in hand, they turned to see Xehanort knocking both Terra and Aqua back in separate Directions before turning towards them.

"I see you have betrayed me, Vanitas," said Xehanort, "I knew it was only a matter of time once you returned. I must say I am impressed with how you handled your role. Suffice to say, it was a reasonable reaction to what I'm about to do to you."

"We'll see about that," Ventus-Vanitas replied, trying to summon Unversed to help out.

Xehanort merely chuckled, "I guess I forgot to mention. I managed to devise a spell that liberated your control over the Unversed and passed it onto me. Time to show you what true power is all about!"

Xehanort dismissed his Keyblade and transformed into Pure Darkness, before enveloping Sora. Sora tried to fight back, but the Darkness was too strong. Sora fell unconscious as Xehanort took control over his body.

(AN7)

Soranort turned to Ventus-Vanitas and held out his hand, summoning the X-Blade into his possession. Ventus-Vanitas just chuckled as they separated again.

"Looks like we've done what we needed to do," said Ventus, bringing out Wayward Wind.

"Now let's finish this," replied Vanitas, summoning Void Gear.

However, even being Pure Light and Pure Darkness, they had a difficult challenge ahead of them in the Twilight that Sora could harness. The battle was only beginning.

Meanwhile, Riku and Kairi were having their fair share of troubles with the Trinity Armor. Aqua and Terra were correct in saying to be careful and keeping their guard up. Anytime they let up moving, or attacking, the Trinity Armor was right there, making its move. They were doing decently enough in the beginning, but the Unversed's attacks were starting to wear on them. Kairi brought up a shield to protect herself, but she was still knocked back while her shield was shattered again.

"Kairi!" shouted Riku, before going into the Dark Impulse Command Style.

However, even duel wielding and Dark Impulse couldn't finish it off. The head still remained as the Command Style wore off, leaving Riku vulnerable to another hit. Kairi got to her knees, thinking about one person in particular.

'I have to stay alive, for Sora,' thought Kairi, 'He's waiting for me. I won't let him down! He means too much to me for me to leave him like this!'

"Riku!" shouted Xion.

"Kairi!" followed up Roxas, as they ran to help their friends, "Heal!"

Roxas's healing spell helped a good bit, but not enough to get them both back to fighting at 100%. Mickey jumped and attacked the head of the Trinity Armor, but its defenses were strong enough to deflect his attacks.

"Mickey," said Xion, "Let us handle it."

"Right," said Mickey, backing off.

"No," said Kairi, getting up again, "Let me. I won't stop until I'm by Sora's side once more! GHOST DRIVE COMMAND STYLE!"

And utilizing her inherited Command Style, she moved swiftly to catch the Armor off guard, allowing her to finish it with a few quick and powerful hits. Kairi collapsed to the ground afterwards.

"Kairi," shouted Riku, working his way over to her with Xion's help. He was amazed at her strength, even after taking so much punishment. He knelt next to her and said, "You did it."

"Thanks," replied Kairi, gasping slightly, "I'm not going to let Sora do this on his own. Not anymore."

"He's never alone," replied Riku, "We're always with him. Now let's go finish this."

"Right," replied Kairi.

With another healing spell from Donald, they were able to recover enough to walk on their own, but Xion and Roxas were right there, in case they needed the help. The group of seven made their way to where the others were, hopefully in one piece.

Takuya managed to get to his friends, but only after fighting a Darkside Heartless and a Twilight Thorn Nobody at the same time. As he defeated them, he couldn't help but chuckle at a remark he made last year, when he was with Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they were faced with Both Xemnas and Maleficent.

'Guess I got what I asked,' thought Takuya, as he approached the others.

"You guys alright?" asked Takuya.

"We're fine," replied Koji, "Now, get us out of here so we can end this."

Takuya changed into Flamon and broke through each of the chains, finishing with Zoey. Once Takuya changed back, Zoey hugged him for all he was worth, causing him to turn red, out of blushing and lack of air.

"Let the boy breath, Zoey," teased Koichi.

This caused Zoey to let go of Takuya with a furious blush on her face. After Takuya caught his breath, he pulled out his D-Tector.

"You guys read to do this?" asked Takuya.

"Ready when you are," replied Tommy.

"He deserves this for capturing us like he did," added JP.

"Wait," said Zoey.

Once Takuya turned to her, she closed the distance between them and met his lips with hers. Takuya was surprised at first, but quickly got over it and returned the kiss tenfold, sending Zoey into bliss. Takuya pulled away seconds later, the feeling vanishing rather quickly for Zoey.

"We'll have time for that later," smirked Takuya, causing Zoey to blush again, "Right now we need to make sure we DO have time for that."

Everyone stood behind Takuya as he brought up his D-Tector.

"EXECUTE!" the Legendary Warriors shouted, "ANCIENT SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"

A multitude of data surrounded the six of them, before dying down to reveal Susanoomon.

"Better get ready, Xehanort," said Susanoomon, as he got ready for battle, "Because after this battle, you won't hurt ANYONE EVER AGAIN!"

'I just hope I can help Sora if Xehanort really DID take him over,' thought Takuya worriedly.

As Ventus and Vanitas battled Soranort, Terra and Aqua were able to recover. They joined in the battle, only for Soranort to force all FOUR of them back.

"So, anyone have a plan?" asked Terra.

"Yeah, not get our butts whooped," replied Vanitas sarcastically.

"I think he meant getting Xehanort out of Sora," countered Ventus.

"Let's just keep him busy," said Aqua, "I have a feeling we won't need to worry about Sora when the time comes."

"Sounds good to me," said Ventus, standing up and getting back into a battle stance, the others following his lead.

"We're not Keyblade Masters for nothing!" said Terra, "Let's show him what it means to utilize Light, Darkness, and Twilight."

"Right," replied the others, as they charged in again to battle Soranort.

When the others got there, they saw Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Vanitas battling Soranort, who was wielding the X-Blade.

"Crap," said Roxas, "We're too late."

Soon, it proved to be too much for the Masters to handle, and Soranort blasted them all back to the others. They helped them up, before everyone got into a battle stance against Soranort.

"You're too late," said Soranort, "I've been playing around with you all this time. I've could've destroyed you at anytime. I just wanted to get used to this body that I'm going have for many years. Let's see, should I turn you all into Heartless and Nobodies, or just have you join Kingdom Hearts? Decisions, decisions."

Before he could do anything, Susanoomon flew in and punched Sora back a football field.

"We'll hold him off," said Susanoomon, "Try to find a way to separate Sora from Xehanort!"

As Susanoomon flew off to battle Soranort, everyone turned to look at Kairi, who suddenly gained a tick mark on her temple at the sudden attention.

(AN8)

"What's everyone looking at me for?" she asked, rather rudely.

"You ARE the one that has the closest connection to Sora," said Riku, smirking slightly.

"You can call out to his heart," added Xion.

"You did it before," followed up Goofy.

"And you can do it again," finished Donald.

Kairi just sweatdropped, knowing what they said was true. She just hoped she could reach out to his heart as she did before.

"Why don't you just give up?" asked Soranort, dodging most of Susanoomon's punches and kicks, while deflecting the others.

"Because we have something worth fighting for!" replied Susanoomon, before continuing in Takuya's voice, "Give us back Sora and we'll give you a swift death!"

"Oh please," said Soranort, as he started his own counterattack, swiping at Susanoomon with his X-Blade, "You can't defeat me! I hold the power of Pure Twilight! You can't match my power, even with all the elements of the Legendary Warriors!"

Susanoomon dropped back a bit to avoid the X-Blade form slicing him in half.

"Then you give me no choice," said Susanoomon, bringing power into his hands, "Heaven's Thunder!"

Soon, a multitude of Thunder Dragons flew down and attacked Soranort. Soranort smirked as his focused power into his X-Blade and began slicing through each Dragon before teleporting behind Susanoomon and sliced through him as well, sending him down to the ground. Takuya struggled to get up, the Evolution having been broken from that last attack. The others weren't much better, each struggling against the pain of that last strike.

"You won't win!" swore Takuya, in a painful voice.

Soranort just landed in front of his face.

"Oh, I believe I just have," said Soranort, before a voice got their attention.

"SORA!" shouted Kairi, racing over to them, "SORA! WAKE UP!"

Soranort just flew over and knocked her down, and picked her up by her throat.

"Don't you get it!" said Soranort, "Sora is gone! I have won! Just give it up."

And as Soranort brought up his X-Blade once more, he noticed Kairi starting to cry.

"Please, Sora," cried Kairi, "Come back to me. Follow my Light. I can't live without you! Please, SORA!"

Soranort's arm froze against his will. As much as he tried to move it, it wouldn't budge. His other arm let go of Kairi, dropping her to the ground. Kairi got back up, as Soranort began to back away.

"Stay away!" he hissed, fear beginning to well up in him.

"Sora," said Kairi, "I love you. Please, come back to me."

Kairi then closed the distance and placed her lips on Sora's. Soranort felt light enter every part of his being, which forced Xehanort to flee Sora's body. Sora, once he got his bearings back, returned Kairi's kiss for a few seconds before parting, leaving only inches between them.

"Thank you Kairi," whispered Sora, "You brought me back again. I love you so much."

"I love you too," replied Kairi, in that same whispering tone.

Their lips met once more for another few second before they parted, and pulled away from each other. Sora turned to Xehanort, who was recovering from being forced out of his latest body.

"I think it's time I ended this once and for all," said Sora, holding the X-Blade out in front of him, "I am the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts! I wield its Keyblade in the name of Light and Darkness. Xehanort, you have upset the balance of Light and Darkness for too long. Let's end this, once and for all!"

"Very well, Sora," replied Xehanort, "Let's end this! Whoever wins will control Kingdom Hearts!"

"After I defeat you, I will seal Kingdom Hearts from those who would misuse its powers for Evil," finished Sora, as Kairi backed away.

The others rushed forward, moving to help Takuya and his friends, before more Unversed appeared.

"WILL YOU STOP SUMMONING UNVERSED!" shouted Terra, "IT'S GETTING OLD!"

(AN9)

In response, Xehanort just summoned Heartless and Nobodies to join the Unversed.

"That doesn't count," sighed Roxas

"Try something new for a change," added Xion.

"Well, at least it's never boring," said Yuffie, as she, Aerith, Tifa and Leon joined them.

Takuya gave back the spirits to the others, and they all Spirit Evolved to battle the army before them.

(AN10)

Sora faced off against Xehanort, he was ready for this. After everything he's been through, he was ready for this to be over with. Sora brought the X-Blade into his normal battle stance, Xehanort doing the same with his Keyblade. Sora made the first move, attacking with a straight forwards strike, allowing Xehanort to block and then counter with a kick. Sora quickly recovered and both began crossing Keyblades rapidly. They moved their battle to the sky, away from the others. Soon Xehanort started adding in spells, forcing Sora to deflect or dodge them, before retaliating with his own spells. Soon, a clash of Thundaga spells hit forcing them both back. Sora fell down the side of a rock formation, before he pressed the X-Blade into it and stood on it while Xehanort looked down at him from the top. When Xehanort sent a Firaga Spell down, Sora did something that surprised even him. He broke apart the X-Blade, bringing back the Kingdom Key and the King's Crown. Holding onto both, Sora brought out part of the rock formation, blocking the Firaga Spell. As the piece broke into smaller pieces, Xehanort jumped down while Sora found footing on one of the pieces and jumped back up. Their Keyblades met in brilliant flashes of Light and Darkness as Xehanort managed to block every strike Sora sent with both Keyblades. Realizing the futility of it, Sora jumped away, reforming the X-Blade as he flew up. Sora turned to see Xehanort follow him and shot a Ragnarok at him, forcing Xehanort back a bit. Sora landed in the middle of a rock formation and waited for a few seconds, his mind racing. Xehanort stopped in the air about 50 ft from him.

"You have grown strong, Sora," said Xehanort, "But I am a Keyblade Master, and you are only a beginner. You can never match the power that I possess."

"You're wrong," replied Sora quietly, though loud enough for Xehanort to hear him, "I have been chosen as the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts. I won't lose to the likes of you, who utilizes only the Power of Darkness for the purposes of Evil.

"Let me show you the TRUE Power of Light, Darkness, AND Twilight," said Sora, smiling slightly, holding up the X-Blade, "Limit Form!"

Sora's changed into his Limit Form and broke apart the X-Blade back into Kingdom Key and King's Crown once more. He also summoned forth Guardian Soul, Hero's Crest, Star Seeker, Sleeping Lion, Fenrir, Oblivion, and Oathkeeper, all of which surrounded Xehanort.

"No!" shouted Xehanort, fear seeping into his voice and eyes, "This cannot be! I won't let you defeat me!"

Xehanort tried for a mad dash as Sora, but Sora froze him in mid-air with a Stopga spell.

"Twilight Omni Slash!" shouted Sora, as he hacked and slash Xehanort over a dozen times with each of the Keyblades. When he was finished, he brought back the X-Blade and slashed Xehanort in half, "Go join you're beloved Kingdom Hearts for all eternity."

With that he pierced Xehanort's Heart with the X-blade and guided it upwards towards Kingdom Hearts. He burned the body afterwards with an Ultima spell, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"The Evil of Xehanort is finally destroyed, forever," said Sora, as his Drive finished, and he fell towards the ground once more.

"Slowga!" shouted Roxas, slowing Sora down enough for Kairi and Riku to get under him and catch him before he hit the floor.

"Is it finally over?" asked Takuya, as he approached Sora slowly.

"Are there anymore evils we need to face at this moment?" countered Sora, who opened his eyes.

"I don't think so," said Mickey, "Anything left is basically up to it's own world affairs."

"Then it's finally over," said Terra.

"I think there is still one question to answer," spoke up Xion.

Everyone turned to look at her.

"What is it?" asked Ventus.

"Where are you three going to stay?" asked Xion, "I mean, Kairi decided to stay at Destiny Islands, even though she was born in Radiant Garden. What about you guys?"

"She does have a point," spoke up Roxas, "You did remake your home into Castle Oblivion. Last time we were there, it wasn't exactly inhabitable, or easily navigated. So, unless you can change that, I don't think it's a good idea to return there."

"I think I have an idea," said Ventus, "Since I'm originally from Destiny Islands; it wouldn't be too hard to believe that I finally found my way back and saying Vanitas is my long lost twin brother. Only two people were there besides my parents, and they have passed on by now, I think. So, that wouldn't be too hard to explain."

"But what about Terra and Aqua?" asked Kairi, as she held Sora.

"I think I can pass of as Ventus's girlfriend," suggested Aqua, smirking ever so slightly, "You don't mind, do you?"

This caused Ventus to blush deeply, and Terra to raise an eyebrow. He didn't think Aqua would say that out of the blue like that; but what would he know, he's been trapped for twelve years while Aqua was in the realm of Darkness. Things might have changed greatly while she was in there. He had changed as well. He smiled when he realized that he could let her go. He didn't want to fight with Ven over her, and he didn't want to lose their friendship, even after twelve years apart. It was time to move on, and find someone else.

Everyone found that reasonable, even though it didn't make too much sense anyways.

(AN11)

After everyone returned to the Gummy Ships, Leon and the others bid their goodbyes, for now, before returning to Radiant Garden to continue helping restore it to the way it was.

(AN12)

After about an hour of traveling, they approached the Digital World. There, they said goodbye to Takuya and his friends, who were glad they could return to their lives, finally. On their way to Destiny Islands, Sora looked out and saw all the worlds they passed by on the way. He couldn't help but think that just a short two years ago, he didn't even know what a Keyblade was, or everything that had happened was because Ventus and Vanitas were in his heart for about ten years. Now that the battle was long over, he could really think about it, and how shocking it was that he could be that powerful, when a month ago he wasn't even half as powerful as that, even in his Final Form Drive.

"You okay Sora?" asked Riku, as he walked up next to him.

"Just thinking about all we've been through in the past two years. Hardly seems like we were the same kids two years ago that dreamed of seeing the far off worlds. And now…"

"And now we've seen them all, some of them twice or even three times," replied Riku, "But, all in all, I think it might have been worth it. I mean, even if I didn't take the path of Darkness, you would have still received the Kingdom Key because of who you were. It wasn't Ventus's Heart that allowed you to wield the Keyblade…"

"It was always inside of you," spoke up Kairi, walking up to the other side of Sora, "Just like I'm a Princess of Light, who helps connect Kingdom Hearts; you are the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts, born to protect it from those that would misuse its power."

"Thanks guys," said Sora, as he pecked Kairi on the cheek, "That means a lot."

Elsewhere, Roxas, Namine, and Xion were watching from another window.

"Hard to believe just over a year ago, we didn't even exist," started Roxas, "But now…"

"We're real people able to live out our lives the way we're supposed to," added Xion.

"And to think," said Namine, kissing Roxas on the cheek, "We owe it all to Sora."

"Thank you, Sora," they said as one.

Meanwhile, in a private room, Ventus was contemplating Aqua's suggestion. Sure, it was something he eventually wanted, but he thought she and Terra would get together. They have been friends longer, so it wouldn't be that hard to believe if they fell in love: Light and Darkness in balance and everything. But, as he thought about Sora and Kairi, and by extension Roxas and Namine, he realized that it doesn't have to be Light and Darkness. It could be Light and Twilight, or even Nothing and Nothing. With Vanitas having all of his Darkness, it would be Light and Light, something he couldn't find an argument against. He heard a knock at his room, and turned to see Aqua step in, closing the door behind her.

"Sorry I sprang that on you like that," apologized Aqua.

"It was surprising," said Ventus, "What about Terra?"

"I used to like him, but I felt us drift further back into 'just friends' as I followed you guys around the worlds, and eventually found myself missing you more than anything. Terra was trapped with Xehanort for twelve years, while you were safe and sound in Castle Oblivion. I felt more for you, because even if Terra could return, he would be changed even beyond my ability to help. Once I realized that, I knew that I would give everything to see you awake once more."

"I think that out of everyone I met along my journey, you were the one that meant the most to me," replied Ventus, as he turned towards her fully, "It's thanks to you, I was able to defeat Vanitas, and eventually come to an understanding with him. So, thank you Aqua, for everything."

"I think this deserves a little more than a thank you," countered Aqua, as she closed the distance between them and brought her lips to his in a small kiss.

All questions and doubts were removed from Ventus's mind and heart as this happened, knowing that Aqua loved him was more than enough.

After they said their goodbyes to Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, the group decided to stay and relax on Play Island until after sunset, which was less than an hour away. As they did this, they split off into pairs to wander the island, getting a good spot to see the sun set. This left Terra all by himself, but he wasn't worried. He was happy for everyone who found love, and had a feeling he too might find it at some point.

Riku sat down near the Paopu Fruit Tree with Xion. As he got there, he jumped up and grabbed a good fruit star and broke it in half. He offered half to Xion.

"Would do me the honor of being apart of my life forever?" asked Riku.

(AN13)

"I'd love be with you," replied Xion, she accepted the fruit and leaned against his should as they sat down on the bended tree, "for ever."

Soon after sunset, they made their way towards the main Island, prepping a long-winded, and hardly believable story about Vanitas being Ventus's long lost fraternal twin, Aqua being Ventus's girlfriend, and Terra being a life-long friend met shortly after Ventus left the islands, under Xehanort's care.

It took awhile, but soon enough Ventus got used to life back home, even if he didn't remember much from his time there as a child. It also took a while for everyone to come to accept Terra, Aqua, and Vanitas as part of their community. Once a week or so, everyone would gather on Play Island after dark, and continue to train, just in case there was a new evil out there, just waiting to try and conquer the worlds.

(Story End)

WHOOO! That was longwinded, rushed, and overall exactly like DragonX said.

Dx: I was actually right about this? I thought I was exaggerating when I said that. Sweet.

LR: Dang. It's over already. I'm sure the fans will revolt over it for a while, before accepting it sooner or later.

Jenny: It was good, for being something with little to no material to work off of. Anyways, see ya next time!

OCs leave.

Next: Author Notes!

AN1: Here's where everyone splits up to take on various minions, bosses, etc.

AN2: I bet everyone wanted to see at least Roxas vs. Xigbar. So, I'm doing something close to it: Roxas and Xion vs. Braig/Xigbar.

AN3: Something I think people might want to see after reading the first three chapters. This is something that tests how far Riku and Kairi have really gone.

AN4: Takuya's not out of the fight for long. He just needs to rescue his friends, then returns to help out his new friends.

AN5: Well, considering the three of them ARE Best Friends, I would hazard a guess they worked out a Trinity Limit at some point.

AN6: Like I'm going to leave these guys out of a Huge Army battle. They don't have THAT big of a part, just there for support and help.

AN7: This fusion's name is unoriginal; as I am giving it Soranort, just like when Xehanort possesses Terra, his name is dubbed Terranort.

AN8: WARNING! Slightly OOC Kairi alert! Even for the changes I've made!

AN9: Seriously, it does get old battling the same enemies for months on end. You'd think he'd come up with something original, and Heartless and Nobodies don't count anymore!

AN10: This battle is heavily inspired by Cloud vs. Sephiroth in Advent Children. So, I don't own it, just how it's changed, and not really even that.

AN11: Kingdom Hearts Logic, Fanfiction Logic, you name it; it will fit here. It doesn't make sense, except by that kind of Logic.

AN12: Can't think of much else to do with them, since there's no point in separating them and sending them back to their own worlds and all. That would separate Leon from the others, which doesn't do good for the group Dynamic of this universe.

AN13: I know this SOUNDS like a proposal, but it's not really a marriage one. It's a 'be with me forever no matter what' promise. They are just starting their relationship; it'll be a while before Riku pops THAT question.

Alright, that's the end of it. There's nothing left to add, except…

Later,
