AN I made a ship name for Ansem and Akira. What do you think of Aksem?

~

We went into the Gambler of Fate gate. We came to an open balcony and saw a beam shooting to 'Kingdom Hearts'.

"What's that?" Sora asked.

"It's the King and DiZ- I mean, Ansem the Wise. They must be higher up. We better hurry." Riku said.

"My love!" GranGran said, excited to reunite with him.

When me and Sora were far enough from the others, Luxord appeared and snapped his fingers. Giant cards surround the others and when they separated, the others were gone.

"What did you do!?" I demanded.

"Defeat me and your friends will return." Luxord said. He was tricky, since his element was Time. He would use any chance we got he'd turn into a game and if we lost, we'd be turned into dice or cards. Finally, we managed to attack him and finished him. I went to deliver the last blow. He tried to protect himself by summoning cards to act as a barrier, but I sliced right through them.

"Looks like your time is up." I said. He gasped for air.

"How could you and Roxas do this... Irix..." Luxord said.

"That's SORA and PIRI!" Sora yelled. He vanished and several cards slid across each other, revealing the others.

"Are you both okay?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah! No need to worry. Let's go." I said. We went back into the Proof of Existence. The last one left was Saïx, the Luna Diviner. We went through the gate and saw Saïx standing, looking at the heart-shaped moon.

"Only you and Irix could have made it this far in one piece... Roxas." Saïx said.

"Okay, I'm really tired of that!" I shouted.

"It's getting really old!" Sora exclaimed. Donald and Goofy stood in front of us and held out their arms.

"Yeah! They're Sora and Piri!" Donald exclaimed. Saïx held up his weapon.

"Different names, same fate." Saïx said. He swung his weapon, causing a huge wind to blow. We held our ground, however, Riku shielded Kairi and GranGran from the blast and they were knocked behind a barrier. "Can you feel it, the moon's power?"

"The moon?" I asked. Oh no. Saïx's element was the moon.

"Moon, shine down!" Saïx exclaimed. He went into his Berserk Mode. He relentlessly attacked us and it was only when he threw his weapon at us did we have a chance. Either me or Sora would grab it and use a Beserk attack of our own which would then knock Saïx out of his Berserk Mode. I pointed my keyblade at Saïx.

"Inverse Burst!" I shouted. A spiral of light and darkness surrounded him and fell down, exploding. That destroyed him. Saïx limped to the window.

"Why... Kingdom Hearts... Where is my heart?" Saïx asked. Saïx lifted his hand to the moon and vanished. Riku, GranGran and Kairi came up to us.

"Why is everyone calling us Roxas and Irix?" Sora asked.

"Because Sora. Roxas is your Nobody and Irix is Piri's Nobody." Riku said.

"Our... Nobodies? But that's crazy, me and Piri never turned into Heart... Oh, right." Sora said, realizing.

"It was when you came to rescue me, Piri, and Lightning, remember?" Kairi asked.

"And when Piri protected Sora from Ansem and when you released her heart." Yami said.

"Yeah, I remember." I said. I placed a hand on my chest. I could almost feel the searing pain I felt when that Dark Firaga hit me.

"Xemnas is the one who found them. They could use the Keyblades because they were your Nobodies. That's why Xemnas brought them into the Organization- But they betrayed them. After that I fought them because I thought it would help you 2 wake up. I lost, but the next time we met I made sure I was the stronger one. Maybe I didn't need to fight them after all. I think they left the Organization because... they really wanted to meet you guys." Riku said.

"Roxas... Irix... I wish we could meet them too." Sora said.

"Sora, we kinda did. They were the people that fought us before." I said. "And well, I meet her when we meet at Beast's Castle."

"I knew that Dusk was her, but the other guy... that's who that were." Sora said, completely oblivious to what I said. We hurried up toward the next area. I saw Amara, Kiyoko, and Mickey and Grandpa.

"Amara! Mickey!" I yelled.

"My love!" GranGran ran to him.

"Sora, Piri, the rest is up to you... and Roxas and Irix- I doubt you 2 can hear- but... I am sorry." Grandpa said then he turned to GranGran, "My light, I'm so sorry... I caused the rift between us."

She shook her head and cupped his cheek, "Nonsense, you never drove us apart. If anything else, I made a promise. That promise gave me the courage to face the scary part. But now... We could be together... Forever."

"Ansem! Akira!" Mickey yelled.

"My heart is telling me what I must do. Please allow me to do what it says!" He pleaded.

"Mine, too! I'm staying put!" GranGran said and I felt my heart was going to explode, however it told me to stay put as well.

"No!" Riku grabbed his arm. "Riku!" Mickey exclaimed.

"Their hearts' decided. We can't change that." Riku said. A whoosh noise came from next to them. It was Xemnas.

"I was wondering who would dare mess with my Kingdom Hearts. And look- here you all are. How convenient fro me. Ansem the Wise... you look pathetic.... Along with your lost love." Xemnas said and Akira growled.

"Have your laugh. I deserve as much for failing to see you for the fool you are." Ansem said.

"Students do take after their teachers. Only a fool would be your apprentice. After all, none of this would have happened without you. YOU are the source of all Heartless. It was your research that inspired me to go further than you ever dared." Xemnas said.

"I admit...my disregard brought chaos to more worlds than 1. But what were YOU seeking? You erased me from the world, only to take my name and continue research better left forgotten... Is this the answer you've been looking for?"

"All that and more. I'm carrying on what you yourself began, and I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time. I thought you'd praise me, but all you ever do is hold me back. I understand, though. Unlike me, you have a heart. And you're powerless to control it. Consumed, by the jealousy you feel toward the student who surpassed you."

"Xehanort. Foolish apprentice of a foolish man. You have surpassed nothing- only proving how little we both know. We may profess to know the heart, but its essence is beyond our reach."

"Grandpa..." I said.

"That is why you and your creation are destined to fall! We've said enough! Riku, you know what to do!" GranGran said

"King Mickey, my friend... and my granddaughters... forgive me. Farewell!" Grandpa exclaimed. The machine Ansem had exploded. Tears ran down my face none stop.

"Grandpa! GranGran!" Me and Sora tried to go help Ansem, but Riku held us back. A pillar of light erupted and a strong force began pushing us all back. I shield Amara and Kiyoko from it as light cloaked us all. I woke up to Kiyoko's whining. I looked and saw I had her in my arms.

"Shh... honey, it's okay." I said, carefully getting up. I looked to Riku and he was holding Amara closely to him. "You okay?" They both nodded. Kiyoko started struggling as she was reaching for him. I ran to him. He groaned and struggled to lift himself up. His hood fell and it revealed he had changed back.

"Riku!" Sora and Kairi exclaimed.

"Ansem did say 'anything can happen'." Mickey said. Riku got to his feet.

"GranGran... Grandpa..." I teared up and Riku hugged me. I held Kiyoko in one arm and one of his arms in the other. Amara hugged my leg. I sighed and let go of his arm, wiping my face. "I can't believe they are gone..."

"That's not true, sis!" Yami said. "They live inside us... In our hearts!"

"She's right, lovebug..." Riku kissed the back of my head. I turned around and smiled.

"Hey, aren't you going to take off your blindfold?" I asked. He pulled off the blindfold and opened his eyes. I mentally sighed. I had missed his beautiful eyes.

"What was that?" Sora asked.

"His eyes couldn't lie..." Mickey said.

"Lie?" I asked.

"Who were you trying to fool? Huh, Huuuh?" Sora asked.

"Myself." Riku answered.

"C'mon, man! You gotta stop trying to do things on your own! You've got friends on your side." He countered back. He took a look at everyone and then at me, Amara, and Kiyoko.

"Have you forgotten? I'll tell you why. 'Cause I'm not a total sap like you." Riku joked. I stifled my laugh. There was my Riku.

"Say that again!" Sora dared. A humming noise came from behind us. We looked and saw hundreds of Heartless making their way into the castle.

"We need to defeat Xemnas. It won't end until we do." I said. Riku removed his cloak and revealed his new clothes. I blushed as I seen his arms were well built and I could have sworn I saw his belly button. Sora playfully nudged me and I slapped his shoulder, laughing.

"Come on!" Riku said. I handed Kiyoko to Yami and we made our way forward.
