how do you know? Well you'll find out...

Chapter 4: Xehanort's Play

It is good to be back in the company of my students. It seems that there are only two that need to be taught anymore. Oh well, Aqua can help me with the Mark of Mastery exam. So, Ansem, how long did you plan to deceive me with that "I was charged to help you" nonsense?

I see that you have caught on, Eraqus. Yes, Whoever charged me to help you also managed to bind my heart with yours. You and I are one. Somehow, I still had no idea who you were before now.

That explains the extra Keyblade I have. Well, it is good to know that I do not share my heart with darkness. I look at the faces all around me. There are more Keybladers now. It is a pleasing sight to my eyes. However, it seems the secrets of the Keyblade Armor have been lost. That is a shame. I look at Yen Sid. Sora, Donald, and Goofy walk up with their friends in tow.

"Gee, couldn't you wait for the big reveal?", he said with a grin.

"Master Yen Sid, where is Xehanort?", I ask. The old man shakes his head.

"That knowledge is not mine.", he replied. That is not good. I have no desire to fight my friend again, but he must be stopped. The powers of darkness are too chaotic to be contained. he should have realized that already. Terra and Ventus stood up.

"What are we to do, Master?", asked Terra. I looked up Terra and realized how much I had lost. He was older, his hair had grown out and given a silvery tinge, and scars were all over his body.

"I don't know, Terra. However, I can sense Xehanort. He is near." Well, part of him was near. It was rather hard to explain. It was like part of him was gone.

His Nobody.

I see; so now he is whole and separate at the same time?

It appears so. Then, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around. He looks like Xehanort when he was younger!

"Who are you?", I ask.

"I am Xemnas, Nobody of Master Xehanort.", he replies. He was wearing a black coat similar to the Organization's. Were they connected? Well, Riku said something about them becoming whole. Maybe, he was one of them previously?

He LED them. Then, why would they betray them? Do they have no sense of loyalty?

Xemnas destroyed them all for his own designs. That makes sense. Everyone has their Keyblades drawn. I simply draw my original Keyblade.

"I suggest you send a message to my old friend, Xemnas.", I say. Xemnas gives a smirk. What is he going to do?

"My Somebody is giving YOU a message. He challenges you to a duel against his newest apprentice... SORA!" WHAT?! Sora straightens his battle stance. Then, he turns his head to the rest of us. What is he saying?

"I have no idea what he's talking about!", he defends. Xemnas chuckles.

"Oh, but you DO. You and Riku both will duel Eraqus. If not, then all of your friends will die." With a snap of his fingers, Millions of Heartless and Unversed surround everyone but myself, Sora, and Riku. Sora gives a sad look to me.

"What do we do?", he asks. I shake my head. I knew about as much as he did. I don my Keyblade armor.

"Did I mention these events will happen to all of the worlds as well?", rhetorics Xemnas. I draw both of my Keyblades. A tear rolls down my eye, and I attack.

[Talmon]

I can just tell.

[Magnamon]

The Door Chapter 5: The End(what? t'was a short fic)

(A/N: There's a theme song for this chapter: Method Acting by Bright Eyes look it up if you feel like it)
__________________________________________________________________________

The battle between myself and the young Keybladers has been raging for hours. We have not tired, we have not relented, and we will die. The shockwaves of our battle have destroyed Heartless yards away. The raw power exuded by our clash will end with one conclusion: Xehanort's victory.
If it is so pointless, then why are you doing it, O great Keyblade Master?

Because, Ansem, if I can just give the worlds a little bit of time, a little bit of hope, Xehanort can be stopped. Hope is a dangerous thing to darkness, and Xehanort fears it more than any weapon, being, or light. Hope can unite every power known against him. This is why I fight.

How noble.

For someone so wise, you are quite cynical.

It comes with the territory of death. I block the blows coming from Sora and Riku. Sora is wearing a silvery garb, and he no longer holds his Keyblades(A/N: Ultima and Fenrir). Riku fires several fireballs in my direction. I block them all and jump off of a wall and clash blades with Sora. I manage to get a cut on the child. I dodge a few strikes from Riku and bring a knee into his stomach. Then, I bring my original Keyblade down upon his head Sora blocks the blow with one of his Keyblades, and I throw Riku out of the battle. This is now between myself and Sora. I backpedal as he aggressively comes at me with Keyblade strikes. He backs me into a corner. Then, I strike. I drive my blades deep into his exposed middle. He slides down my blades. His blood is covering my armor and my Keyblades. Sora lifts his head up to mine.

"Take- care- of Kairi." He begins fading away into the light. He was truly the perfect example of light. I feel a kinship with him, as a Keyblader and a protector of the Light. I nod my head and turn to Xemnas. He chuckles.

"Before you ask, yes, I AM quite satisfied with your performance, Master Eraqus.", he says.
Then, his head is suddenly removed. Axel is standing behind him.

"How 'bout mine, boss man?" He wrenches his chakrams into the man's back and kicks him to the ground.

"HOW ABOUT MINE?!" Apparently, he and Xemnas had some issues that were quickly worked out. Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness, Xehanort's Heartless, appears next. Riku rushes him and they begin fighting. I am awaiting my last foe: Master Xehanort. Someone walks up. My eyes widen. SORA?!

"Your plan, it was this?!" He chuckles and draws his Keyblades.(A/N: Xehanort's original Keyblade and the Kingdom Key)

"Yes, Eraqus, it was. Now, I will put an end to your misery once and for all!" We rush one another. We collide Keyblades. The world goes white. What?

Ah, the Door.

What is the Door? A door appears in front of us. Ah, THAT'S the door. Wait, is that door speaking?

One of you comes for darkness, one for light. Which will win? That is for you to decide.

"Who?", asked Xehanort.

The both of you.

"Do you mean with a duel?", I ask.

No, simply agree. I turn to my old friend and my old enemy.

"What should we do?", I ask.

"I don't care what you say. Darkness is the only way to any sort of progress!", he responds. I look at the door then realize its test.

"Fine, we'll be the Darkness." The Door flies open.

Well done. Now, revive the Dark just as the Light was restored! We walk through the Door and don't look back.
__________________________________________________________________________
One month later... Kairi is watching the sea. When Eraqus and Xehanort collided, they destroyed all the Heartless in the Bastion. Soon, all the invading Heartless were destroyed. Riku suffered severe injuries from Eraqus and Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. He was comatose at the main island. So, it was just Kairi today. Well, it had been just Kairi for weeks. She missed Sora more than anyone could guess. Donald and Goofy had visited once, the King too, but it just wasn't the same for her. Still, whatever Eraqus did started something new. The Heartless, it seemed, were totally gone. Twilight Town had begun booming with population. It seemed that something within the Realm of Darkness was changing. The King had been called in to check it out. As the protector of that Realm, he had to. She looked up from the sea and saw something falling from the sky. Well, to be more accurate someONE. The figure crashed into the sea. Kairi dived in and began swimming toward him. Grabbing the unconcious body, she dragged him ashore and took a look at him. He was very familiar. The stranger opened his eyes.

"Huh, what?", he said in confusion. She smiled.

"Hi, I'm Kairi; what's your name?" The stranger stands up.

"I'm... Eraqus." The teen scratched his head a bit.

"Sorry for dropping by like I did." She giggled and grinned.

"It's okay. C'mon, I got somebody who'd love to see you." She offers him her hand. He nods and takes it.

Cue ending song from Kingdom Hearts II!

[Orlando]

NOOOO!!!! Sora's dead T~T jk very interesting ending though. I wouldve never predicted sora dying.

[Magnamon]

Well duh he's Sora that's why I did it

[Talmon]

It was confusing and strangely brilliant. Good job. The only improvement I could offer was at one point I think you used 'and' about four times in one sentence.

[Magnamon]

yeah I didn't really want to list the actions so I used the a n and d keys a lot

[Talmon]

Haha. Anyways you should write more often, I enjoyed this

[Magnamon]
