Kingdom Hearts: The Brightest of Hearts - Chapter 9: A Hook of Darkness and A Fairy of Light

Sora, Donald, and Goofy were riding on the light tunnel back to Traverse Town. Sora was happy not only with helping Ariel get her happy ending but also running into Triton before leaving and getting more Ansem reports he collected. Sora was especially excited when Triton told him to give Merlin, Yen-sid, and Fairy Godmother his regards. He still had no idea who Yen-sid was, but it was always amazing to meet another old Keyblade Wielder of Light. Though Sora and King Triton didn't always see eye to eye, Sora was at least glad they left on good terms. Sora still felt bad for not staying for the wedding, but he knew Ariel didn't need him anymore. Instead, he decided to focus on the fact that Ariel finally got to live the life she wanted and through King Triton's magic she could visit Atlantica any time she wanted.

Finally, Sora, Donald, and Goofy made it back to Traverse Town and once again, not getting ambushed by a Heartless ship again. The three of them sighed in relief considering that a win, leaving both Chip and Dale confused. After the Gummi ship landed Sora, Donald, and Goofy stepped out to see Merlin, Fairy Godmother, Cloud, Leon, Aerith, Yuffie, and Sid all in the town square waiting for them. Aerith and Yuffie then got out confetti poppers and set them off to make confetti fly everywhere.

"Congratulations!" Soon they all started cheering and clapping in praise of Sora, Donald, and Goofy, leaving the three of them in confusion.

"Uh for what?"

"Yeah, we didn't stop the Dark Army yet, we took down another Lord sure, but they still have their home base, and we don't know where it is."

"Of course, but Fairy Godmother did some sneaking around and info gathering, and it turns out there's only one left!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy were shocked by what Yuffie just said, if she and Fairy Godmother were correct, that meant they were only one step away from facing off against the Maleficent and the Dark Army once and for all. Sora was overjoyed to hear this, he quickly jumped up and raised his keyblade high in the air while yelling in triumph. This is what Sora was fighting for, to finally put an end to all the pain and suffering that the Dark Army caused and now he was so close. However, Merlin quickly raised his hand to stop Sora from doing anything else.

"However, first thing first, Sora? I believe you have something important?" Sora quickly understood what Merlin meant and gave him the Ansem reports King Triton gave him. Merlin took the papers and smiled in glee.

"Excellent my boy, truly excellent I believe with these and the ones I currently have we are just a few pages short of completing Ansem's entire report! Soon everything that clever devil learned will be clear as day and we'll be able to use the knowledge to save the multiverse." Merlin then patted Sora on the shoulder and Sora smiled in pride.

"Hm, come by my study, I managed to fully decipher more pages and I have something that will truly help you on your next mission, my boy." Sora's eyes sparkled in excitement, and he looked back to Donald and Goofy, both of them smiling and waving at him to confirm it was ok with them for Sora to follow Merlin. Sora then ran off after Merlin and Fairy Godmother.

***

Sora made it to Merlin's house, Merlin and Fairy Godmother were already there. Both of them were smiling while Merlin was holding a white crystal that's shaped like a heart.

"Now then please come over and have a seat here Sora, we have a wonderful surprise for you!" Sora was confused by what Merlin said but smiled none-the-less and did as Merlin asked.

"Now, have you made new friends with the inhabitants of the various world's you encounter?" Sora nodded in excitement.

"Haha! spending my boy! Then this will be the perfect gift for you!" Merlin then tossed the white crystal heart in the middle between himself and Fairy Godmother. To Sora's amazement the white crystal heart stopped midair and instead floated in the space between them. Merlin and Fairy Godmother then started chanting, making magical symbols from all around them. The magical symbols slowly took shape and as they did, they floated toward the crystal heart to float around it. Eventually there were enough symbols to make a strange looking sphere around the white crystal heart. After that, Fairy Godmother and Merlin made one last chant and all the symbols flowed into the crystal heart, filling it with magical power. The white crystal heart then flowed toward Sora and phased right into his chest.

Sora was only a little scared, he knew Merlin nor the Fairy Godmother would do something to hurt him. However, this was still weird, what exactly did they do to him?

"Oh, fear not, my boy. What we did was actually a blessing. If Ansem's research is correct, the connections within your heart will become your new power!" Sora's eyes almost sparkled in excitement; however, he was still confused.

"... uh, what?" Fairy Godmother then stepped forward before Merlin could say another word.

"What it means dear is that the deeper the bond you make with your friends the more you'll be able to call upon their strengths and powers in your time of need." Sora was amazed by this. Sora already thought that having friends is one of the many things that make people stronger, but this took that to a whole new level. Sora just looked at his own fist as he imagined how much stronger this was going to make him. Sora then clenched his fist and raised it high while smiling at Fairy Godmother and Merlin.

"Thank you both for this, but uh, how exactly do I activate the power?"

"I'm afraid that's something you'll have to figure out my dear." Sora sighed in defeat but didn't complain, however he did realize something that seemed contradictory.

"Uh wait, if a spell like this exists. One that gives people strength through connections to other people from other worlds. Then why was there ever a rule to keep the natural order by not interacting with the locals of other worlds? That doesn't really make sense if you think about it." Fairy Godmother and Merlin then looked at Sora in shock, then toward one another in concern. Sora was taken aback by this; he was a little worried if he accidentally asked too much and therefore overstepped. The two of them then faced Sora with smiles but were still sweating, making Sora look at them in concern and confusion.

"Well, my boy, now you know why I and Santa were so frustrated with the rules our old master gave us. Hahaha!"

"Oh, Santa, I haven't heard from that troublemaker in a long time!"

"Sora actually encountered him in one of the holiday worlds, he is the spirit of a holiday called Christmas."

"Really?! My word, that man knows how to make an impact!" The two of them started laughing again, though the joy in their laughter seemed forced. Sora originally wanted to tell them how he met Triton but right now he was more concerned for them and didn't want to change the subject. But then again, he'd rather not pry into something he doesn't understand. Sora remembered all the times he asked his parents questions he shouldn't have which put them in awkward situations. Sora knew it most likely wasn't to the same degree but still, he'd rather not repeat such a mistake.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I guess I should go and get ready to liberate the last world." Merlin and Fairy Godmother both smiled and waved Sora goodbye. Sora smiled weakly as he waved back and left Merlin's house. Once Sora was gone, Merlin sighed in self-disappointment.

"He may be young, but I think he could tell something was wrong."

"Of course he did Merlin, children are smarter than most give them credit for."

"Should we really tell him the truth? About... everything?"

"Merlin, it's not like we lied to the child. But I do see what you're trying to say... After the final battle is over. Once Sora and his friends have defeated the Dark Army, we'll tell him about... the Keepers."

"Yes of course, we owe the boy that much at least. I just wish he nor his friends never got dragged into this mess in the first place."

"Oh Merlin, you can only do so much. Besides giving the boy some credit, he's done so much in such a short time. My, we needed just as much time if not more to liberate a single world when we were his age. Besides, it's not like he's alone."

"Hm, that may be the true Fairy Godmother. But those who wield the darkness have many tricks up their sleeves. Besides, if it really is true that our Ansen has betrayed us and is now leading the new Dark Army... then I fear Sora is walking right into his trap."

***

Sora was still a little confused on Fairy Godmother and Merlin clearly hiding something.

"hm... oh well! If it's important they'll tell me later, or better yet, I'll find out on my own." Sora decided to leave it alone and instead focus on the fact that only one more world had to be liberated before he could finally save Riku and Kairi. Sora then stopped in his tracks and made a long sigh of defeat, saving Riku or Kairi was definitely not going to be easy. Riku was the champion of darkness and Sora was the champion of light. They were supposed to be enemies not friends, so for Sora to save Riku would most likely be impossible. After all it was their destiny, one to defeat the other to see whether the multiverse would be ruled in darkness or light. Sora then grunted in annoyance as he pounded his chest hard with his fist out of determination.

"Screw destiny! I'm saving Riku and that's final! Kairi too! I don't care how long it takes! Nothing is impossible, just difficult!" Sora then raised his fist into the air and smiled with determination. Sure, Sora didn't know the first thing about repairing Kairi's heart but that doesn't mean he wouldn't try.

"That might not be as easy as you think." Sora then smiled out of overwhelming joy when he heard that voice. He then turned to his left and saw Kairi's astral projection standing there, but he made a look of confusion when he saw how sad she looked.

"Kairi what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure yet but I think you should be careful. The Dark Lords know that you only need to liberate one more world before their concealment magic wears off and you'll be able to find us without even having to defeat them first."

"Kairi... do you know how many there are left?"

"Just three: Maleficent, Hades, and Captain Hook."

"Hades? He was a Lord of Darkness? Then why didn't he fight me head on?"

"I really don't know Sora, he's strong but lots of the members of the Dark Army here say he's a coward as well."

"Well ok, then that means that Captain Hook and Maleficent are the only ones left to worry about. Thanks Kairi, save your strength, I'm gonna rescue you and Riku once I take those jerks down!"

"Be careful Sora, Riku is in distress after your last fight but he's more determined than ever to fight the Light. Also, Captain Hook and Maleficent aren't your biggest worry. They answer to someone as well, I think he's known as the Supreme Master. They call him Ansem, seeker of Darkness." Sora's heart sank when he heard that. The last Keyblade wielder of Darkness said something similar, but Sora hoped he just misheard it. He was wrong, so wrong, the true leader of the Dark Army was indeed Ansem or at least that's what he was called. Merlin's old friend and the one who wrote those reports that gave Sora such a boost in power, was also the leader of the enemy force.

"Ansem? Are you sure about that?"

"Positive, why? Do you recognize that name?"

"I... yeah I do, but I really hope it's a coincidence is all."

"Well, in that case, me too. Goodbye Sora. Don't make me wait too long, ok?" Kairi then smiled and winked at Sora while he blushed and waved goodbye as she faded away. Sora wasn't sure what to make of this, could the two Ansem's he knows of really be the same person? Sora felt like he needed to confirm this now more than ever, but he had no idea where to start. Sora considered all his options but then came up with a horrible idea that just might work. Sora groaned in frustration, but this was probably the best way to get direct answers especially concerning the Dark Army. Sora really didn't want to do this but slapped his cheeks to help him suck it up and then got ready to do the unthinkable.

"Hey! voice! I want to talk!" Sora looked around for anything around him to change but there was nothing.

"Voice?! I want to talk about the Darkness! Are you willing to talk or what?"

My name is not voice! Sora couldn't help but shutter when he heard it, Sora then groaned again in annoyance. The last thing he wanted was to talk to the voice again but if he wanted to confirm his suspicions with Ansem this was his best shot. Sora then looked around in annoyance since the voice was in his head and therefore had nothing to look at.

"Well then what is your name then?"

You don't need to know that yet! Suddenly a large shadow formed on the wall of the alleyway. Sora faced it to see it made a figure that stood extremely tall and had a strange head with four horns like a goat's horns. The shadow's eyes then opened to show large red eyes that started at Sora with intense hatred. Sora couldn't help but tremble in fear at the first sight, but quickly forced himself to stand tall and not show fear.

What's the sudden change of heart child? Are you under some delusion that I will help you defeat the Champion of Darkness?

"Of course not! I want to know who Ansem; Seeker of Darkness is. Also is he the same as the Ansem who made the reports for the Guardians of Light?" The shadow seemed surprised by what Sora said, he seemingly pondered on it for a while before looking back at Sora.

And why should I tell you? What will you give me in return?

"... Can't you just do it out of the kindness of your heart?" The shadow was silent for some time before laughing like a psycho.

HAHAHAHAHA! What heart?! Listen boy! Everything has a price! You don't pay, you don't get your due!

"Ugh! Alright fine, what do you want?" Again, the shadow seemed to ponder on this for a little while but then his eyes widened as if he recalled something from his past.

I want your Heart to be a resting place for the sword.

"... What?"

You'll find out eventually, now to your question. I'm afraid the answer is complicated to answer... The king of knowledge lost in the abyss, with only his brain for his heart died the same day his family did. The fault lies in the false master of light, he who corrupted the Shield, banished the Wand, and cursed the Sword into an eternal slumber. Now the Wand and I play chest. We bet, play, and see how the game will end. But this game is strange because there are two kings. One is a heart with no body and the other a body with no heart. one wants to use seven hearts while the other will command thirteen bodies. Seven of Light and Seven of darkness are needed to make the key, no more, no less. One has stolen the name of his old master, the other changed it. Both want redemption, both want to be remembered, both want to be feared, both want what the original did. A foolish boy became a foolish man. A foolish man became two foolish men. You have yet to face one but once you do, you will face the other. You already know the name he stole and soon you see the face he corrupted.

"... So Ansem and Ansem seeker of Darkness are different people?"

I already told you what you need to know, you can figure out the rest on your own. Sora then pouted in frustration, what the shadow told him wasn't even a riddle, it was no better than word play.

"You still haven't told me who you are and why you're even here? Why can I hear your voice in my head?"

... hehehe, so many questions, so few answers, the multiverse itself is one big joke that no one even told. The darkness has been corrupted while the light has lost its way. I'm just a memory of a war no one remembers. As they say, history is told by the victors. You want more answers? Ask the victors. And remember, light and darkness are two sides of a coin but favor one over the other, you'll become blind. The shadow then faded away leaving Sora frustrated.

"What was any of that supposed to mean?" IT JUST MEANS WHAT IT MEANS! UGH, I HATE CHILDREN! Sora had to cover his ears despite the voice shouting in his head. Once it was done Sora just grunted in annoyance.

"Jerk..." Sora then realized he wasted enough time and just walked off to town square to get back with Goofy and Donald.

"Well, that was annoying but at least the voice is just as sick of me as I am of it. Also, I think he said that the two Ansem's are different... Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what he meant."

***

By the time Sora made it back to the town square everyone was celebrating their close victory and drinking beer. Donald and Goofy in particular were dancing around and singing while both of them were holding mugs of beer.

"Oh, hey what's that?" Everyone then stopped when they saw Sora.

"Uh... it's... it's called beer."

"Oh? Never heard of it, can I have some?"

"Nope!" Donald then casts a magic spell to make all the beer float into the air at high speed only for it all to explode into a firework.

"Hey! What gives, Duck!"

"Sid! Sora's 14!"

"You couldn't have just not given him some! Ugh!" Sid then stomped away in anger.

"Uh sorry."

"Nah, Sorry it's fine. We shouldn't have been drinking in the first place. Now then, ready to liberate the last world!" Donald then raised his fist to Sora; Sora then smirked in determination and gave Donald a fist bump to show how ready he was. Goofy was about to get up but then fell down due to being drunk. Donald sighed and gave Goofy a healing potion and kicked him to get up. From this alone Sora made a mental note to never drink beer even when he gets older.

***

Now on the Gummi ship, Chip and Dale activated the light tunnel and soon the ship was flying down the tunnel. Sora got the controller and was ready to take down any Heartless ship that got in the way. However, about half an hour later no Heartless ships showed up, nothing the travel down the tunnel was actually extremely peaceful.

"Gosh, do you think they ran out of Heartless?"

"No Goofy, somethings wrong. I don't know what, but this is definitely not a good sign."

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time they changed things up. But either way I'm sure whatever it is we can handle it!"

"You sure are optimistic aren't you, Sora?"

"Hey! You say that like it's a bad thing, Donald. There's nothing wrong with hope! Besides they already got heavy armored ships, an ambush, and a giant eel looking Heartless ship! What else could they possibly do?!" Suddenly the entire ship was rammed by a giant pirate ship that forced them right out of the Light tunnel. Once again, the Gummi ship was flying out of control until it ended up transporting into a random world.

"AAAAH! I DIDN'T JINX IT!"

"AAAAH! YES, YOU DID SORA!" The Gummi ship then roughly crashed onto something hard making Sora, Donald, and Goofy fly out of their ships and hard onto the ground. The impact was so hard that it caused Sora, Donald, Goofy, Chip, and Dale to be knocked out instantly.

***

Sora didn't know how long he was out but when he came to, he could see from the front view of the Gummi ship that they crashed onto the hull of the pirate ship.

"Ugh, are... are we on another ship? But how?" Sora got up and saw that Donald and Goofy were still knocked out. Sora woke them up and did the same for Chip and Dale and explained that they were on a giant pirate ship that was seemingly abandoned. Donald went over to the front of the ship to look outside while Chip and Dale were setting up the scans.

"Hm, well this is weird."

"This isn't a Heartless ship, fellas. However, it has a multiversal travel engine!"

"What? But those can only exist within Gummi ships! This isn't a gummi ship, it's a sea ship!"

"I don't know but that's not the worst of it, there's a large signature of dark energy on this ship with only one source. this could only mean one thing."

"Sorry fellas, but we got ambushed by one of the Dark Lord's themselves." Sora was shocked but only for a second, he quickly smirked in determination and raised his hand as his keyblade manifested.

"Like I said, no matter what it is we can handle it. The fact that there's a Dark Lord on board is just an added bonus." Goofy and Donald were wide eyed at first but then both of them nodded in approval. The three of them then left the Gummi ship and walked onto the hull of the pirate ship but even as they did there was still no one present.

"This is definitely a trap."

"But what should we do then? How do we avoid it, a-hyuk?!"

"I say we strike them before they strike us, let's go to where the Dark Lord is."

"Ok... and where is that Sora?" Sora then went wide eyed as he realized what Donald asked. Sora grunted in frustration again, today was really turning out to be a bad day.

You wish to seek out the darkness? Sora groaned again when he heard that voice in his head. Go away, I don't need you anymore.

First rule of the darkness is that your strength determines your position. You want me to listen prove your strong enough to force me... now then you might not like it, but you really do need my help, so let me help just this once, sound good?

Fine! Whatever, please help me find out where the Dark Lord is hiding.

Heh, so easy. Now close your eyes, then focus on the magic within your heart, see through your heart instead of your eyes. Sora sighed and did as the voice asked, of course everything was dark with his eyes closed. However, as he focused on the magic within his heart, he saw a large purple flame in the distance and when he opened his eyes, he could still see it only now it was in the ship, right where the captain's quarters would be.

"That's where the Lord of Darkness is!" You're welcome! Sora grunted when he heard the sarcastic tone of the voice.

"Ok thank you! you can shut up now!"

"Wah?"

"Sora, we didn't say anything." Sora then started sweating nervously as he realized he was practically talking to himself in front of Donald and Goofy.

"Oh... uh... I just... thought I heard a bird yelling at me is all." Wow, nice save. JUST GET LOST! Sora screamed in his head as the voice seemingly laughed while fading away. Sora then faced Donald and Goofy while trying to smile despite him still sweating nervously.

"Uh! Let's go get that Dark Lord jerk!"

"... Sora."

"Is there something you want to tell us?"

"... uh... can I tell you later?"

"Wah?! No way! You will tell us right-" Goofy then covered Donalds bill to keep him from talking.

"Of course, Sora, but please remember we DO need to talk about this eventually, ok?"

"*Sigh* Yes dad!" Sora then ran off to the captain's quarters of the house. Donald sighed and followed but then noticed that Goofy was still standing there with watery eyes.

"A-hyuk, that was so sweet! Gosh, I wish Max still called me dad."

"He was being sarcastic, Goofy, don't let it get to your head." Goofy then grunted in disappointment and manifested his shield. The two of them quickly chased after Sora.

***

Sora, Donald, and Goofy then crashed the door open and ran into the Captain's quarters. Their Captain hook was talking into a magically floating scroll covered in dark magic.

"Just use the Air Pirates to catch the brat! He'll ruin everything if this continues!"

"I'm sorry sir I'm trying! But the Heartless respond better to-"

"WAIT! Be quiet..." Captain Hook then turned to his right and saw Sora, Donald, and Goofy standing there.

"Uh, Captain?"

"I'll need to call you back Mr. Smee."

"But wait-" the magic scroll then rolled up and as Captain Hook waved his hand away the scroll floated away into one of the bookshelves of his quarters.

"So... you're the Champion of Darkness that has Maleficent rattled."

"In any other situation I would have been honored. I always wanted to meet a pirate."

"Have you now? Such delusions of a child, not understanding danger. Even as it stands before them."

"Why does everyone keep acting like being a kid is a bad thing?"

"As much as I'd love to off your head, I unfortunately have different matters to attend to. Heartless if you'd please." Several Pirate Heartless then manifested around the captain's quarters and several more surrounding Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Farewell Champion, may your heart be the guiding key and all that nonsense." A veil then manifested behind Captain Hook, and he walked behind it while the Pirate Heartless covered his exit. Sora then smirked and so did Donald and Goofy for then this would take no longer than five minutes. Or at least that would be the case but something strange was happening to the Heartless. They were seemingly shaking around as if they were losing control of themselves as their forms were changing. At first, they were getting wobbly as if they were made of water then they actually started to melt into black puddles. Before Sora could say anything the black puddles then raised back up into new forms, all of them took the form of Sora with his keyblade.

Remember everything comes at a price, child. This is the price for my help, now let's see how long you can last.

"Grrr, you rotten jerk!" Again, the dark voice laughed as it slowly faded out of Sora's head.

"Sora, what are you talking about?"

"Sora what's going on?"

"Ugh! Alright! Alright! Donald remembers when you asked if I knew something weird and or magical about myself." A shadow Sora then charged toward Sora making him raise his keyblade.

"Well, when I said no, I lied! I hate lying but it's true, I lied!" Sora then slashed at the shadow, but it faded away only to reappear behind him and slash him back.

"Argh! The truth is that ever since this One Heartless scratched me in the back I've been hearing evil voices in my head! They keep telling me to give into the darkness and for some reason every time I listen or try to ignore them, I get slightly stronger! Like that first time I cast a lighting spell!" Donald cast a fireball at a shadow Sora only for it to dodge again, however instead of huffing in annoyance Donald was shocked to hear what Sora said. A strange dark voice both trying to convert him to the darkness and giving him little bits of power. Donald never heard of any of it but none of it sounded good.

"Sora! When did all this start?!"

"Uh, well... When I first got to Traverse Town..."

"SINCE THE BEGINNING?!" as Donald screamed, he had to dodge several slashes from the shadow Sora's.

"Sora, why did you tell us?!" Goofy then tried to shield bash a shadow Sora but it disappeared and reappeared behind him to slash him in the back.

"It was a voice in my head! There's not really much you can do about that! Besides we had only just met at the time, you guys probably would have thought I was crazy!" Sora then dodged another slash and finally managed to kick a shadow Sora back only for it to recover quite quickly.

"I think you're crazy right now for hiding it!" A shadow Sora then punched Donald in the face, to which he quickly froze it with an ice spell before it could disappear again.

"Ugh! Guys can we please talk about this after we defeat these annoying shadow me's?!"

"We will be talking about this later though!" Donald angrily cast a lighting spell hitting two shadow Soras directly hurting them both, at least until they escaped by disappearing. Sora then jumped across the room and slashed the shadow Sora that Donald imprisoned earlier. Goofy threw his shield and it ricocheted among the shadow Sora. However, they all quickly recovered just as Goofy got his shield back. Donald then cast several lighting spells hoping to finish them all but instead some disappeared to escape while the others were indeed hurt but seemingly regenerated from the damage.

"This isn't working! Dam- ahem! Dang it, how do we destroy these things?!"

"Hahahahaha! Fine! Fine! Let's end this little game, shall we?!" All the shadow Sora then formed together into a single shadow Sora. This one was no longer a shadow but instead had a hard constructed body of pure darkness and was even covered in a dark aura body. Then four goat horns formed on the head and red eyes formed on the blank face.

"Hahahaha! It's been so long since I had a body! Do entertain me well won't you little Pawn?"

"Wha? Who is that." Sora turned to Donald and then Goofy and saw the fear in their eyes. Sora then sighed, though this made things easier to explain, it was still annoying that this had to happen at all.

"That's... the voice in my head." Donald and Goofy looked at Sora in shock then to the shadow Sora, who bowed politely to confirm that Sora was right. Donald then groaned in anger at the sight of the shadow and actually tried to talk to him.

"Who are you and why are you haunting Sora?"

"Me? All you need to know is that like this child I was a fool blinded by the light thinking he was a hero of justice when in reality I was a prince of thieves. I helped those above me take so much and give so little. And now the war begins again only with new puppets at the end of the strings. So, I ask you all, do you wish to continue and dance for the amusement of those who shine or would you rather cut your strings and let yourselves fall freely into the darkness." Donald and Goofy looked at each other in confusion then to Sora as he had a look of disappointment on his face.

"Yeah, that's pretty much how he talks, always in riddles. Sad thing is that there are not even good riddles."

"Well excuse me for trying to have some fun. Regardless, that's enough bickering, let's fight, shall we?" The Dark Sora raised his shadow keyblade and walked forward. Donald and Goofy jumped forward to push him back, instead Dark Sora slapped them both away with his free hand. It looked like a simple slap, but it had enough force to push them both past Sora at high speed and ram into the wall knocking them both out instantly. Sora was instantly enraged and swung his Keyblade down on Dark Sora only for it to be blocked. Sora tried striking from different angles, then another and another. Sora realized he was going at such high speed, but he was more focused on finding an opening on Dark Sora and taking it, but instead Dark Sora managed to use both his free hand and Keyblade to block every single strike. Soon Dark Sora was using only his free hand to block every strike at such amazing speed.

Sora wasn't getting anywhere, he quickly jumped away from Dark Sora and cast a fireball. However instead of launching it Sora got a better idea and started casting the multi-core spell. It was still difficult, but Sora managed to cast both an additional lighting and ice spell and have it aimed right at Dark Sora.

"Eat this!" Sora launched the spell at Dark Sora expecting it to do some serious damage. Meanwhile Dark Sora started laughing as the spell flew toward him at high speed.

"hehehe, Okay!" Dark Sora then opened his mouth to an abnormal degree and ate the magic spell as if it was nothing more than a snack. Sora just stood there shocked, sometimes his enemies dodged or even deflected the attacks, but none had ever just eaten the magic directly.

"Ahhh... my turn, WEH!" Dark Sora unleashed a loud screech, powered by magic. Due to the room being small the magical vibrations were bouncing all around the room. Sora felt like he was being hit by several punches from all directions, at the same time his ears were ringing due to how loud it was. When it was finally over Sora just collapsed to the floor with only his arms barely holding him up. Sora started sweating in fear, he only felt this kind of fear back in Deep Jungle, it was the fear of losing to the Darkness. Sora faced lots of strong enemies, so it was hard to compare and contrast but something in his heart told him Dark Sora was the worst of them all. Before Sora could ponder anymore Dark Sora grabbed him by the neck and raised him high in the air.

"How does it feel? Knowing with all the light in the multiverse... you're still just a pawn on the chessboard." Dark Sora threw Sora out of the captain's quarters, Sora landed hard onto the floor of the hull and tried to painfully get up. Dark Sora walked slowly toward Sora while Sora tried to use his remaining strength to wield his Keyblade for defense.

"Even after all that you cling to your Keyblade? Is it not already obvious that you are not the victor here? The prophecy did state that the Champions of Light and Darkness would battle to determine the fate of the multiverse... but it never said that the Champions wouldn't be killed by anyone else." Sora was so sore and exhausted that just holding his Keyblade was a chore, but there was nothing else he could do.

"Except give up..." Sora looked at the Dark Sora in confusion.

"Oh, come now of course I'm still in your head. I know what you're thinking and I'm telling you give up. Don't you want to save Riku, the only way you can is to give up your keyblade. If you don't have it, then Riku has no reason to be the Champion of Darkness anymore. One cannot exist without the other, destiny does not exist for nobody. These are the rules of the game Sora, the only way to win is to stop playing." Sora looked at his Keyblade again, if he was being honest, it was true this would be the better thing to do; after all, what joy did the Keyblade actually bring him? Sora was forced to go on this quest, he was forced to fight monsters and villains he barely understands, he was forced to leave his home, and he was forced to separate from his friends. Because of this Keyblade Sora was alone... Sora then snickered at the idea of that, what a bunch of lies, he thought.

"What?!" Sora ignored Dark Sora and kept thinking to himself. Sure, there was bad but there was good too. Sora met new people, saw new worlds, saw and experienced new stories, and helped save not just one but several worlds from the Dark Army. Sora wasn't a hero, but he was a friend to those that needed it and frankly that's all he wanted to be. Sora then remembered all the worlds he visited and everyone in them that he interacted with. That's why even when the going gets rough he wasn't going to collapse and cry like he did in Deep Jungle, he would get back up and fight. Sora didn't even notice it but his keyblade started glowing and surging with magical power.

"No! That's impossible! You never received any training! How are you able to manipulate your aura so well?!" Sora then smiled as he heard Dark Sora panic, Sora then remembered all the friends he made: Yuffie, Leon, Donald, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Alice, Cloud, Sid, Tarzan, Aladdin, Genie, Jack Skellington, Sally, and Ariel. Sora then opened his eyes and to his amazement golden light manifestations of everyone he thought of were right there beside him. Instantly all the golden light manifestations fused into Sora's heart instantly. Sora could feel a massive surge of magic flowing through his body, but it wasn't overwhelming instead it was energizing. Sora smiled proudly as he raised his keyblade with one hand and pointed it right toward Dark Sora. Dark Sora growled in anger as he manifested a dark aura around his dark body to increase his own power.

"It doesn't matter what the material is made of, when it comes to chess a Pawn is still a Pawn!" Dark Sora then roared again causing a massive blast of magic to shoot right at Sora. A normal person would have been badly hurt or even killed by the mix of intense sound waves and magic, but right now Sora was taking it quite well. Dark Sora's roar was only pushing Sora back a little bit but wasn't really doing any damage. Sora then walked toward the roar as it was pushing him back then he started running as it was getting easier. Dark Sora realized it wasn't working anymore and quickly raised his keyblade to block Sora's strike. Dark Sora forced Sora back and started swinging himself only to miss or get his strikes blocked by Sora. The two of them continued to clash like this, only Dark Sora quickly realized that Sora was so much stronger than before. Dark Sora couldn't make any sense of it, sure he was the Champion of Light but that only gets you so far without training and magical boosters. However, by using his magic sense Dark Sora saw that there was indeed a magic booster within his heart.

"Oh... so that's how it is, how... PREDICTABLE!" Dark Sora then reached into Sora's chest and grabbed his heart directly. Now Sora was in deep pain, his physical heart slowly being torn out of his being. As Sora weakened, he dropped his keyblade and started losing strength. Dark Sora laughed as he was slowly ripping the heart out of Sora.

"I have to say I am impressed, even though my power is only a fraction of how it was, you still shouldn't have been able to beat me, yet you were close. But alas, you're not the king or the queen, you're a pawn, but don't worry once I'm done with you, I will find the Kings and I will put out every spark of their corrupting light!" Sora then grunted in anger and quickly remanifested his keyblade back into his hand.

"What?!" Sora then slashed Dark Sora in two, but he didn't stop there, he used every bit of his strength to keep slicing up Dark Sora until it did any lasting damage. Finally, after what seemed like a hundred strikes, Sora managed to slash Dark Sora in the chest and this time it left a slashing mark of golden light. Dark Sora then let go as he gasped for air, finally Sora let himself fall to his knees as he was free but exhausted and his heart felt like it was breaking. Sora then looked up at Dark Sora who was slowly fading as his wound burned and spread throughout his body.

"Ahhh... well... I'll be damned... you're not a pawn at all... you're more like a rook... you can destroy everything in your path... but in the end you can only go in one direction or the other... and like all other pieces... you do whatever the King tells you to... So be warned little Rook... the game is far from over... and when it ends, the only real victors... are the Kings..." Finally Dark Sora was gone, and the hearts from the Pirate Heartless he absorbed were released. Sora let himself fall to the ground. Sora knew that now wasn't the time, but he just couldn't do anything else, so Sora just went to sleep and hoped that Donald or Goofy would give him a health potion.

***

"Yeah tink, just give him some fairy dust and he'll be ok!" Sora felt something being sprinkled onto him as if it was some kind of dust. Suddenly Sora felt a lot better and was even able to not only wake up but get up all by himself. Sora didn't feel as strong or energized as the powerup he had earlier, but this was definitely a second best.

"Look at that, you alright little guy?" Sora turned to his left to see Peter Pan standing there with Tinder Bell on his shoulder. Sora looked at Peter confused, he was dressed in all green and was actually just a little taller than Sora.

"Uh yeah, I'm great actually, thank you by the way."

"A pleasure, by the way, might want to dodge."

"Huh?" Sora turned around only to see an Air Pirate Heartless extremely close to punching him with its large fists. Sora panicked and jumped purely on instinct but was surprised to see that he not only jumped higher than before but was also floating in the air. Peter then blocked the Air Pirate's strike with his dagger and slashed it a few times before it disbursed, and the cursed heart was released. As Sora slowly floated to the ground, he looked at Sora in amazement.

"Wow, you're a natural when it comes to flying, huh? I'm Peter Pan and this is Tinker Bell." Peter extended a hand; Sora took and shook while Tinker Bell flew close to his face to get a closer look. Sora laughed as he backed away from her to get some space. Sora was amazed he was looking at an actual fairy or maybe it was a pixie. Sora wanted to ask but at the same time he figured that was rude to ask so blatantly. Instead, Sora extended a hand to her, and she smiled as she took only a finger. Sora made sure to only shake his finger gently so as to not shake her.

Just as introductions ended Sora saw that in the sky there were several Air Pirates in the air trying to chase Wendy, John, Michael, and the Lost boys. Sora quickly manifested his keyblade and without even thinking flew in the air to help. An Air Pirate Heartless nearly got Michael but Sora slashed its arm off and proceeded to cut it in half, defeating it. Sora smirked at first but then saw how many there actually were. Sora could definitely take them, but he couldn't do so while protecting everyone. Sora then realized that Donald and Goofy were still in the captain's quarters, knocked out. Sora was about to fly down but couldn't leave with all the chaos so instead looked to Peter Pan and Tinker Bell who were just about to join the fight.

"Peter! Go to the captain's quarters and find two people named Donald and Goofy! We need them to help!" Peter grunted in disappointment that he wasn't going to join the fight, but did as Sora asked since even, he understood they needed all the help they could get. While waiting on Peter, Sora flew to after the Air Pirate Heartless, he even made sure to run into one head causing it to fly off and started crashing down toward the ground. This ended up getting the attention of the remaining Air Pirate Heartless, thus they all started flying toward him while leaving everyone else alone. Sora smiled and activated a lighting spell, allowing him to hit three different Air Pirate heartless. However, while distracted another Air Pirate Heartless punched him in the back. Sora slashed its head in retaliation and as it was punched away, he cast a fireball at it, destroying the Heartless.

Sora smiled and was about to get ready for the next one but before he could another Air Pirate Heartless flew by him and punched his back. Then another flew by and punched him in the stomach, then another across the face. Sora knew what they were doing and worst off he couldn't do anything about it, they were surrounding him and only striking him when and where he wasn't ready. This was a lot like back in Atlantica when he couldn't swing his keyblade properly underwater. This was different though he wasn't underwater; he was in the air and there wasn't any water to help him here. As if on cue, Sora's keyblade started glowing gold again, Sora smiled in a mixture of excitement and relief as he knew what this meant.

Sora's keyblade then transformed into the Crabclaw Keyblade, Sora looked at it in confusion as he had no idea how this was supposed to be helpful. Before Sora could figure it out, Several Air Pirate Heartless started surrounding him and were preparing to strike him from all sides. Sora raised his keyblade in defense, but he knew this wasn't going to be enough to block against all the incoming attacks. Suddenly a bubble of water formed around Sora and expanded at accelerated speed thus hitting all the incoming Air Pirate Heartless. Now that they were all covered in water Sora once again hit them with a lighting spell, this time it was able to arc between them and thus shock them all. However, the current wasn't as strong so despite them being hurt from the lighting they were still able to fight. Worst off, the fairy dust on Sora was wearing off and he was slowly falling.

Sora quickly flew to the ground but the Air Pirate Heartless were flying after him. As Sora was safely falling, he raised his keyblade at them and transformed his keyblade into the Pumpkinhead Keyblade to shoot several jack-o-lantern missiles at the closest Air Pirate Heartless. Destroying at least five of them; however, there were still seven active and dived right at Sora. Thankfully Goofy's shield was thrown at the Air Pirates and ricocheted between them causing them all to simply fall due to either being knocked out or seriously hurt. A large fireball then shot at the Heartless, engulfing them all in flames and getting rid of all the Heartless.

All the children started cheering in joy, knowing that the Heartless were gone and started cheering on Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Sora quickly hugged both Donald and Goofy for saving him but then he lowered his head to apologize.

"I'm sorry for hiding the voice, guys. You were right, I shouldn't have kept it to myself." Donald was still mad and was about to tell Sora off, but Goofy placed his hand on his shoulder to tell him to not say anything.

"We're not mad Sora, we were just worried about you." Donald then looked at Goofy in anger but Goofy then smacked him in the head to keep him quiet. Donald was dazed at first, but then grunted in annoyance and turned the other way while crossing his arms.

"I know it feels like there are some things that are better to handle by yourself but when you're overwhelmed it's always better to get some help. Especially for those you can call your friends." Sora smiled and hugged Goofy to show his appreciation. Donald looked back and figured he was being too harsh on Sora and sighed in defeat.

"Goofy's right Sora, we'll always have your back but for crying out loud don't go hiding stuff like that! If you have more secrets like that you better tell us now." Sora couldn't help but laugh at Donald trying to still act all tough and authoritative.

"Haha! Ok, ok I'm sorry Donald, but seriously that's it. I really don't have any other secrets."

"Well, isn't this just peachy!" Everyone then looked at the upper floor of the boat to see Captain Hook standing there staring down on all of them.

"I was hoping to get rid of Peter Pan before I got rid of the Champion of Darkness. No matter, I'll just destroy you both at the same time." Peter Pan then ran forward in front of Sora, Donald, and Goofy to face off against Captain Hook.

"Bring it on Hook! I already beat all your pirate goons; I can beat you too."

"Yes, you certainly did, boy! But you must know there's a fine difference between a pirate and a captain! If it's so hard to tell the difference, then it's about time you grow up!" Captain Hook started growing as his body was covered in a dark aura giving him both size and power.

"WOW! He's uh... Well, I swear he couldn't do that back in Neverland."

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. Anyways just watch out because him being big is unfortunately not all he can do." Captain Hook then manifested several arrows of darkness and they all shot right toward Peter Pan and Sora. Peter actually panicked while Sora smiled and manifested his Three Wishes Keyblade. The dark arrows shot right back at Captain Hook right in the face making him growly in anger. He then raised his sword now enlarged and sharpened with darkness, to strike down on the both of them. Sora who was still smiling and manifested his Olympia Keyblade, after a perfectly timed strike on the incoming blade it recoiled causing Captain Hook to fall off balance. Sora then manifested his Pumpkinhead Keyblade and shot several jack-o-lantern missiles at Captain Hook to both hurt him more and cause him to fall down entirely. Since his body was so big, he ended up falling off the ship entirely and thus started crashing into the emptiness of the Darkness in-between worlds.

"Woah! I don't know how you did any of that, but it was amazing! What is that key thing anyways?"

"Just think of it as my weapon."

"Really?" Peter then flew up and snatched the Keyblade from Sora, Sora wasn't concerned but still looked at Peter in disappointment for stealing his Keyblade like that. Peter swung it around like a sword but still looked at it in confusion.

"This is a weapon? It just looks like a giant key." The Keyblade then dissolved into light and manifested back into Sora's hands.

"You know it's rude to just take something from someone else."

"Oh come on I was just looking at it."

"You could have just asked rather than taking it."

"Pfft! You sure like to complain, what are you a girl?" The Lost boys then started laughing at Sora to which Goofy crossed his arms at them and gave a dad's glare at them causing them all to instantly feel bad. Peter on the other hand was still laughing at his joke while an unamused Sora was walking up to him. Peter then stopped laughing and saw Sora glaring at him very seriously.

"And if I was a girl? Does that mean my complaints are just suddenly not important?" Suddenly Peter felt under the pressure of Sora despite being slightly taller than him.

"Uh... well come on, it was just a joke."

"So, it's funny to say that because I complain about legitimate reasons, I must be a girl? It's also funny to call me a girl as if it was an insult?" Sora continued to glare at Peter with a serious stare which made Peter sweat in nervousness. Peter then lowered his head and apologized, afterwards Peter then flew over to Wendy and apologized to her as well for all the mean things he said to her previously. Wendy and her brothers even had a laugh about it while teasing Peter. Meanwhile Donald and Goofy walked up to Sora to see if he was ok.

"Dang Sora, I knew you could be intimidating but I never knew you could handle a ruffian like that."

"Oh well, I used to be a ruffian myself, Donald. You see me and Riku used to try to hang out with older kids to make ourselves look cool; we ended up picking up bad habits from them. My mom made sure to give me lots of lectures to get me out of those bad habits, I guess it all ended up rubbing off on me."

"And you became just as terrifying as her as a result?"

"What?" Goofy then slapped Donald on the back of the head to keep him quiet, all while Sora just stood there confused.

"You vile little vermin! You think you've won?! I'm just getting started!" Suddenly the ship was moving and now it went to its own destination. Soon the ship and everyone on it was flying over the skies of London, then a normal sized Captain Hook walked out of a Void and onto the deck. With him several Pirate Heartless and Air Pirate Heartless came out of the Void as well.

"Now then, shall we get started?" Sora grunted in annoyance; he really should have figured that this battle was far from over but after the fight with Dark Sora he was kinda ready for it to be. Two Air Pirate Heartless zoomed right toward Sora, who just manifested his Olympia Keyblade and slashed them both, causing them to fly off uncontrollable and fall away. Another Pirate Heartless tried to charge at Sora head on, Sora was ready for them, but Peter Pan instead jumped in front and used his dagger to deflect the attack and strike the Heartless.

"Sorry about earlier, I never caught your name by the way."

"I'm Sora."

"Sora? Like soaring in the skies?" Peter Pan then flew in the air to show off to Sora, then two Air Pirate Heartless tried to ambush him from both sides. However, Peter just playfully kicked one in the face causing it to stagger while stabbing and slashing the other to destroy it. Peter then plainly threw his dagger at the other Air Pirate to destroy that one as well, releasing the cursed heart within.

"That name fits you quite well. Though I think it would fit better with a little help. Hey Tink! Be a pal and give him some fuel?" Tinker Bell actually smiled in delight because of the request and quickly flew over Sora and quickly sprinkled her dust all over him so that he could fly again. Sora thanked Tinker Bell but to his surprise, Tinker Bell kissed him on the cheek to show it was her pleasure. Sora just smiled thinking it was common for fairies to do that. Sora then smirked with determination as he flew into the air to take the Air Pirates head on. The other children and Lost boys were just throwing random stuff at them which did nothing. Sora thought this was funny but still better than to just watch so he quickly flew in to help. Sora quickly manifested his Pumpkinhead Keyblade and aimed at all the Air Pirates closest to the Lost Boys. The damage managed to hurt the Air Pirates while getting them away from the Lost Boys, however it also drew all of their attention toward him.

About twelve Air Pirate Heartless flew toward him in different directions but this time Sora was ready. Sora manifested his Crabclaw Keyblade to make water all around him, he then used an ice spell to freeze all the water making a barrier shield all around him. As predicted all the Air Pirates crashed into the barrier and even three were destroyed because of the impact. However, Sora didn't stop there, with the barrier still controlled by his magic he made sure to drop it directly over Captain Hook.

Captain Hook with his Pirate Heartless guards was smiling at the sight of everyone struggling to fight off his Heartless. After he was done with them, he would commence the invasion on both London and Wonderland. With two worlds being destroyed at the same time would give him more than enough energy to be on par with Maleficent. With the others being gone and Hades being docile it should be easy pickings and Master Ansem would surely approve. However, his train of thought was interrupted when a dark shadow covered him and his Heartless. He looked at the shadow in confusion and then looked up only to scream as he saw a giant barrier of ice, he was seconds from impacting. Thankfully because of the shape of the ice Captain Hook himself was fine but the Pirate Heartless surrounding him were destroyed instantly.

Captain Hook grew red in anger and slashed at the ice in high speed until it shattered into pieces. However as soon as he was done, he was faced with Sora who managed to cast both a fire spell and lighting spell at him. Captain Hook was then shot with both spells setting him on fire and electrocuting him. Sora smirked thinking that now the battle was over but suddenly Captain Hook unleashed his dark aura that allowed him to repel the fire and lighting. Captain Hook's clothes was now ruined which made him look horrible especially with his deranged angry face. However, Peter Pan quickly flew in and tried to ambush Captain Hook only for Hook to block Peter's strike with his dagger.

"Come on Hook, your fights with me remember?"

"Grrr! Wait your turn, brat!" Captain Hook then covered his left arm in his dark aura to make it bigger and stronger, he then punched Peter causing him to fly uncontrollably away. Sora tried to take advantage of the distraction by charging at Captain Hook but again Hook proved to be faster and countered with his own strike. Sora could not believe the amount of force that came from the strike, it rippled through his muscles and made him want to scream in agony. Sora was then pushed to the ground and left there without the strength to get back up. Captain Hook took advantage of the strike and jumped on top of Sora and stabbed him in the heart. Or at least that would have happened if Goofy hadn't bashed him midair with his shield, causing Captain Hook to crash into his own ship.

Donald then helped Sora up and the two of them then quickly cast their own fire spell and combined them together to make an even stronger spell. As Captain Hook got up, he was again hit with a fire spell only this time it was a large barrage of even hotter fire. When it was finally over Captain Hook was covered in ash and was left in a lot of pain. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Peter and all the other kids started laughing at Captain Hook in his defeated state. Captain Hook then growled in anger and shock all the ash and dust off of himself. He was completely out of dark energy, but he didn't care.

"You think you won just like that you little brat! I may not be a master of magic, but I am a master of the sword! And you're just a tiny little inexperienced bug." Sora, Donald, and Goofy just looked at one another not really feeling intimidated by Captain Hook at all.

"Do you think he's projecting or something?"

"Gosh, he must not have had a good childhood."

"Hey Hook!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy then looked behind Captain Hook, Hook turned around to look as well only to scream when he saw Peter Pan holding a smiling crocodile.

"If we're so small, then why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Captain Hook then opened a void portal back to Neverland to escape but Peter Pan managed to throw the crocodile through the portal before it closed. Now all the children and lost boys started cheering while Peter Pan bowed to them all. Sora felt he deserved the praise as well and, despite them starting on the wrong foot, started clapping for Peter as well. Peter Pan then flew to the ground to face Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Thanks for the help, guys."

"No problem, though, sorry we really didn't do that much."

"By the way, where did you even get that crocodile from?"

"Oh, that guy was clinging to the hull. I don't know why but that crocodile would never rest until he could eat Hook, lucky for us though right?" Before Sora could say anything, he noticed that the ship was close to the Big Ben tower and was amazed to see a clock tower so big. Sora then noticed that on it there was a glowing light and quickly realized it was the world's keyhole.

"Guys! That's it, that's the keyhole!"

"Well let's close it quick!"

"Wait! don't leave so soon, stay and celebrate the victory with us."

"Oh, please do stay." Wendy then approached as well as the others hoping to talk more with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Donald grunted in annoyance while Goofy laughed and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Sora would normally love to stay but he knew that after this world all he'd have to do is face off against Maleficent and finally he could save Riku and Kairi.

"Sorry guys, but we really have to go, I know we didn't get to meet properly but I swear that after I stop the Dark Army I'm coming back here with my friends."

"Heh, well alright then Sora, go save the world or whatever but don't forget to give Neverland a visit too." Sora nodded to confirm he then used the fairy dust to fly over to the World's keyhole.

***

Chip and Dale finally managed to fix the Gummi ship and picked Sora, Donald, and Goofy up from the Big Ben Tower.

"Well that wasn't our best adventure, we crashed onto a sea ship in space, had to fight the evil annoying voice that's been bugging me, and fought alongside a bunch of seemingly fun kids but didn't have time to properly hang out with them."

"The important thing is that you liberated the world and stopped the last Dark Lord Sora. Now that you did, we can finally find out where Maleficent is and stop her."

"Uh actually fellas we got some bad news." Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked to Chip and Dale in confusion while the two of them looked back in sadness.

"We think this planet was a decoy or something. You see Captain Hook may have been a Dark Lord, but his main invasion wasn't focused here it was focused elsewhere. We'll have to go there in order to halt the invasion and finally get a reading on where Maleficent is hiding." Donald and Goofy were shocked and groaned in defeat, they were so ready to have finally liberated all the worlds but then it just one more showed up out of nowhere. Sora on the other hand stepped forward with a serious expression of determination.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get that last world!"

"Wah? Sora, don't you want to go to Traverse Town first to rest a bit?"

"We can rest after we liberate this last world, but before then what do you guys say we go for one last round before the final battle." Sora then extended his hand to Donald and Goofy. Donald and Goofy looked at one another but then Goofy smiled and put his hand over Sora's. Donald hesitated a little but then did the same.

"All for one and one for all!"

"Well said Sora!" Chip and Dale then got to activating the Gummi ship for the next world while Sora and Goofy got to their ships. Donald on the other hand felt like something was wrong but still went to his seat. Donald made sure to watch Sora, he couldn't help but feel that Sora was pushing this too far but what could possibly drive him to be so reckless Sora, I know it's hard, but try to hold it in for now. The only way to find your friends is to stop the Dark Army. you can't give up now. if you want to see your friends again you have to push forward. Those words echoed in his head and suddenly Donald was filled with guilt and regret. However, it was too late to bring it up or apologize since they were already entering the Darkness in-between worlds to go to the next world.
