A/N: Ah but wait, there's more. EPILOGUE!

Night had fallen on the Destiny Islands. Sora was probably the only one still awake as he sat at his desk in his room, looking over the strange list he'd written down that morning. He was still trying to ponder who or what these titles represented and why he remembered them. He could hear someone moving out in the hallway outside his room but he knew who it was. His parents being away for a week, and Sora's own initial plan to be in a different world for the same length of time meant that someone needed to house sit and said house sitter was dutifully patrolling the halls…that is until they noticed the light coming from within Sora's room.

"Can't sleep?" Lightning Farron asked as she nudged the door open.

"I've been trying to figure out this list all day. It's kinda praying on my mind lately." Sora said as he yawned.

"I imagine it can wait until morning. You've had a trying time recently, Sora. You need your rest." Lightning said as Sora put a hand to his chest, remembering that, mere days ago, he had been possessed by Vanitas in order to create the X-Blade.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Good night Lightning." Sora said, reaching to turn out his desk light. Lightning gave him a small smile and nodded before closing the door and resuming her patrol.

Sora was about to turn in for the night when he saw something outside his window. As he approached the window, he looked out towards the play island and saw an odd shimmering light coming from the beach. Instinctively, Sora reached for the window, opening it and quietly climbing halfway out, summoning his Keyblade Rider below the window and, once fully on the Rider, closing the window behind him. He then turned and flew towards the island, finally touching down on the islet with the sideways tree less than a minute later before dismissing the Rider. The light was a strange floating sphere with a cloudy dark red glow from within it. Orbiting the sphere were two crisscrossing rings made of tiny grey cubes with faded green edges. There was a symbol coming from within the sphere but Sora was too far away to make it out. As Sora approached the sphere, it started to pulsate with a glowing red light. Sora paused as the sphere's light began to get blinding until finally he had to shield his eyes.

When the light faded, he looked and was startled to see a figure, about Sora's height, in black robes like the ones worn by Organization XIII. Dangling from its neck, on a chain running up and into the hood, was what appeared to be a sideways letter E, the long end on the bottom, making it seem like a crown made entirely of squares. On this necklace was engraved "N1". Sora and the unknown figure stared at each other silently for a moment before the figure finally spoke.

"So…you're the one I've heard about." The Unknown said in a calm dark tone, "You're the Keyblade Master that defeated both Xehanort and Vanitas."

"It wasn't just me. My friends and I…we all worked together to stop them. But who are you?" Sora asked but the Unknown chuckled darkly.

"You really want to know?" The Unknown asked as it raised its hand towards Sora, who quickly dropped into a fighting stance, his Keyblade summoned. The Unknown then summoned a broadsword, the blade the exact same length and width as the Kingdom Key's own blade and even with a similarly shaped square-like hand guard around the hilt only a more perfect square. It even had a keychain similar to the Kingdom Key only the King's insignia was made of squares instead of circles. The figure then adopted a stance exactly like Sora's.

"Once I'm finished with you, your Keyblade will be mine." The Unknown said before it charged at Sora, weapon raised. Sora quickly blocked but the Unknown leapt back slightly and came back around with an upward swing, knocking the Keyblade from Sora's hand. Sora dodged the Unknown's swings for a moment before recalling his Keyblade to his hand, leaping back and firing a Firaga at the Unknown which retaliated by flinging an icosahedron of glowing blue energy that left a trail of similarly colored cubes behind from the sword. When the Firaga and icosahedron hit, they exploded in a bright flash of light, leaving a cloud of steam behind, leaving Sora unable to see through it.

"What was that?" Sora asked as he spun around erratically, searching for a sign of the Unknown.

"I know all of your tricks. Every move you make, I can counter. Every defense of yours, I can breach. There's nothing you can do to-." The Unknown taunted before Sora finally cast an Aeroga around him, blowing the steam away and revealing the Unknown just as it was attempting to sneak up on Sora from behind. Sora quickly spun around, locking blades with the Unknown.

"Well…didn't see that coming." The Unknown said before Sora quickly leapt backwards up into the air, pointing his Keyblade at the Unknown, causing the large red circle of the Ragnarok spell to appear, only this wasn't the ordinary Ragnarok. It was Sora's Shot Lock, Ragnarok Ultima. The beams of magic that flew from the edges of the circle were one solid beam as they streaked towards the Unknown. The Unknown however threw its left hand out to the side in time as the beams impacted, sending up a small mushroom cloud of sand and dust. When Sora landed, he stared at the mushroom cloud for a moment before he saw a white light shimmering from within as the dust settled. Finally he saw that the light was coming from what seemed to be a Reflect spell only different. Instead of the white hexagonal tiles making up the sphere, the tiles were pyramidal in shape. (A/N: Think Space Ship Earth at EPCOT.)

"That one, I did see coming." The Unknown said as the shield dropped and it charged towards Sora with the sword reared back. Sora quickly leapt over the Unknown before spinning around with his Keyblade, only to his blade to meet the Unknown's sword. Sora and the Unknown pressed against each other's blades for a moment before they both leapt back. The Unknown then clinched its left fist, a yellow glow appearing around it before he flung his hand open towards Sora, causing a bolt of lightning to drop from the sky only the lightning was strange, like it was made from countless tiny pyramids. Sora managed to dodge the bolt but the Unknown began calling down multiple strikes until, finally, Sora started to zigzag towards the Unknown, dodging bolts or deflecting them all together. The Unknown suddenly stopped using its strange thunder spell before firing a pyramidal missile of red energy. Sora quickly used a Reflega, the missile impacting on the shield in a burst of flames.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Sora asked as his Reflega vanished.

"You already know who I am, but what I want is your Keyblade." The Unknown replied as it leapt towards Sora, sword raised but when Sora moved to block, the figure instead threw another icosahedron at Sora's feet, suddenly flash freezing Sora to a small patch of ground below him, freezing him up to his knees. Sora swung at the Unknown who leapt up into the air and, knowing Sora couldn't possibly turn around enough to block, spun around ready to strike down the Keyblade Master, only for his sword to be blocked by a Keyblade.

"What?!" the Unknown yelped as it leapt back. Sora wasn't holding this Keyblade. It wasn't even the Kingdom Key. It was Oathkeeper, floating in midair behind Sora. The Keyblade then vanished just as Sora smashed the ice encasing his feet, freeing himself before he turned around towards the Unknown, dismissing Kingdom Key and summoning Oathkeeper and Oblivion, dropping into Roxas's stance.

"Two!" The Unknown said, surprised. Sora then slapped his armor piece, forming his armor over him, his red cape with gold crown insignia flapping in the wind.

"Had enough?" Sora asked. The Unknown paused for a moment before charging towards Sora, sword raised. Just as the Unknown took a swing, Sora blocked with Oathkeeper while taking a swing with Oblivion, missing the Unknown by mere centimeters had it not leapt back. The Unknown tried barraging him with its odd magic spells but Sora charged towards it, blocking and deflecting each spell as he ran, not even slowing down. The Unknown finally vanished in a sudden burst of glowing blue cubes of energy, reappearing back where it had initially appeared in a similar burst. Sora then turned towards the Unknown, his helmet vanishing.

"Who are you? Why do you keep attacking me?" Sora asked, begging to know the answer.

"I suppose you could say that I'm someone who just wants to be like you." The Unknown said before it leapt towards Sora, sword raised. Sora attempted to block but the Unknown quickly launched a pair of the red pyramidal missiles, forcing Sora to deflect the shots, just as the Unknown got within striking distance. Surprisingly, the Unknown didn't hit Sora with its sword, but merely pressed its black gloved hand on Sora's forehead, a brief green glow appearing between its palm and Sora's head, causing Sora to roll his eyes into the back of his head and fall, unconscious, onto his back on the ground. (End Battle Music).

The Unknown stood over Sora for a moment, the Keyblade Master's armor vanishing back into the shoulder guard and his Keyblades lying on the ground next to him.

"And now, I'll be relieving you of your Keyblades." The Unknown said as its sword disappeared. The Unknown reached down, picked up Oathkeeper and began to examine it. No sooner had it started to examine the Keyblade, it vanished along with Oblivion.

"What?" the Unknown asked as it started looking around and finally spotted the two Keyblades, clutched in Sora's hands, even though Sora was still unconscious.

"I see. Then it would seem my coming here was in vain." the Unknown said as it knelt down next to Sora. It then raised its left hand, conjuring a strange spherical orb with a number of glowing panels on it that rotated in various directions. The orb suddenly shrank down to the size of a dime, the Unknown grasping it between its index and middle fingers before placing the sphere on Sora's forehead. The sphere let off a brief flash of light before sinking into Sora's head, the light it left behind fading away. The Unknown then sighed in frustration as it shook its head.

"What an idiot. To think that you and I…" the Unknown said, its sentence dropping off. It then stood up as a portal of swirling blue energy lined by a ring of grey cubes with glowing olive green edges opened behind it. The Unknown turned towards the portal, glancing over its shoulder disdainfully towards the unconscious Keyblade Master.

"We'll meet again…Sora." The Unknown said before it then turned and ran through, the portal closing behind it. A few seconds later, Sora sat up with a throbbing in his head.

"Huh? What happened?" Sora asked he looked around. He didn't see anyone or anything until he looked down at his hands, seeing his armor active and Oathkeeper and Oblivion in hand.

"Was I fighting someone?" Sora asked, confused. He then shook his head quickly, dismissing his Keyblades, hitting the side of his head with the bottom of his palm in an effort to clear his head.

"I guess…whatever happened…it's over now." Sora said as he turned and started towards home.

Elsewhere…

The Unknown walked through the doors into a room made of pristine white walls, floors, and ceilings. As it entered, two other hooded figures walked up to it, flanking it as it walked. The figure to the Unknown's right wore the exact same outfit as the Unknown, only it had a zipper chain in the shape of an X with "N8" marked on it only the X appeared to be made of silver squares. The figure to the Unknown's left wore a sleeveless black hooded vest with black pants that were worn close to the figure's legs. The figure wore the black boots like the others only slightly more feminine but not heeled. The arms, while somewhat toned and muscular were obviously feminine. Dangling around the neck of this figure was another necklace, only this one was in the shape of a blackened and weathered seashell with "N9" marked on it in silver. The three figures were equal in height.

"Well?" the figure to the right asked.

"He's strong." The Unknown replied.

"How strong?" the female asked.

"Very. Getting a hold of those Keyblades is gonna be harder than we first thought." The Unknown replied.

"You mean the Keyblades really do refuse to be wielded by no one but their chosen wielder?" the figure asked.

"Yeah. At least he won't even remember we fought. I saw to that personally." The Unknown replied.

"Good thing too. He could've remembered you and the others would've followed. Besides, the Boss's not going to like it you snuck off like that." The female said.

"Like I care whether the old man is happy?" the Unknown said.

"Well you should." Another voice said as the trio came to a stop and looked ahead to see another, taller figure standing in the opening of a large doorway. Seven other indistinguishable figures could be seen in the darkness behind it.

"Boss." The Unknown greeted with obvious annoyance at the mere presence of this person.

"This just isn't gonna work. Going off and trying to fight the kid isn't gonna get the results we're looking for. It'll just make the guy angry, and then his friends will join in and then we'll have a big ol' mess on our hands." The tall figure said with an oily tone as it approached the three.

"What would you have us do then?" the female asked, irritated.

"There are other ways to get what we're after. I think it's time to begin phase one." The tall figure said as it turned towards the other figures in the shadows.

"You mean-…" the Unknown said as the tall figure nodded.

"That's right. It's time to start looking for test subjects."
