???'s POV

"Hmm... odd. Sora and the others managed to get past Vanitas, but it was far more quicker than I anticipated..." Something wasn't adding up, I assumed it would have at least taken a couple of minutes or so, but this was far too quick. Vanitas has failed me. I sigh in annoyance but I must keep myself composed. "No matter, Terra awaits them in the next room. It's going to be very hard considering both his strength and his deep bond with Aqua. This will be very interesting." I still have some time before they reach his chamber. "Dark Chirithy can you bring Terra to my chamber, I desire to speak with him." I said and I received a nod from him. "As you wish master." And he disappeared in a portal of darkness.

Not a minute after, I see the portal reappear again and I see Terra in front of me. "Hello Terra... or should I say Terranort?" Then Terra's brown hair turned white and his blue eyes turned a golden amber. "I would prefer Terra-Xehanort..." he said in a very deep voice that seemed not to be his own. "Terranort is a shorter version of your name. Just deal with it, okay Terranort?" He then sighs. "Now... may I ask to why you summoned me, master?" HE then went through me.

"I want you to be prepared, for Sora and the others are almost at your chamber. You are our second line of defense and in order to prevent another defeat I will provide you will groups of Heartless that will help you defeat Sora." A smirk goes on Terranort's face. "That won't be necessary. I can defeat them easily." I the walk close to him and give him a serious look. "You may be strong physically, but you are weak at heart. Though you succumbed to darkness, don't think I haven't noticed a spark of light inside you. You need to keep that boy under control or else he will ruin you." Terranort flinches and moves a step back, he knows I'm right.

"V-Very well master. I will gladly accept your aid then." He then turns around and avoids eye contact, but I grab him from behind and pull him back. I then whisper into his ear. "Do not follow the same path as Vanitas... do not fail me... should you do so... I will make your life a living hell, even beyond the grave." He then slightly shudders and opens a portal of darkness and leaves. I then turn back around and see Sora nearing Terra's chamber. "One by one you are getting closer Sora, but to what? You have no idea."

Sora's POV

We seem to be going down only one hallway, and I haven't see Chirithy since he disappeared when we reached Vanitas's door. That in of itself is very off putting. "Sora." I turn my ahead to Kairi, who was looking very worried. "Yeah Kairi?" I ask her. "I know you're worried about (Y/n), but don't worry. We will save him. No matter what." Just hearing that made a small smile crawl onto my face. "Thanks Kairi."

Suddenly a dark presence surrounds us. "Everyone, ready yourselves!" I yell and Heartless began to appear. They were mainly Large Bodies and Archers so they are easy to take down. We then hold our keyblades tights and charge toward the Heartless. We slash the Large bodies on their backs in order to maximize damage and once they were done we immediately went toward the Archers. They were all defeated but no more Heartless took their place.

"Strange... normally more there would be more Heartless than that." Riku said. "Yeah. It's pretty weird." I said and we all continue to go down the hallway. As we walk, Naminé and (D/n) gave us some potions and ethers to help keep up our strength, we the continue to walk until we reached a door with orange star in the middle.

"That's a wayfinder!" Aqua yells. "A wayfinder?" I ask Aqua. "Yes. And that's not just any wayfinder, that's Terra's wayfinder!" She says sounding a bit excited. "But if it's on this door... then that means..." Xion says but Roxas finishes her sentence. "We have to face Terra." I look back fo Aqua who looked like her heart just broke. She looked down on the floor and I could feel the sorrow and pain she feels. I look to Riku and Kairi and we walk towards Aqua and held her close. "Don't worry Aqua. We'll save him." Riku said. "Just be strong." Kairi said and that sorrow I once felt disappeared. I then could see Aqua bearing a small smile on her face. "Thank you Riku, Kairi, Sora." We all Now have a major boost in morale, so they next thing we do is turn back to the door, and open it.

Once the door was open we all begin to walk into the room, only to find it completely empty. "No one's here..." I said. "Sora be on your guard. Something isn't right." I heard (M/n) say. And just as those words reached my ears, a huge figure appeared in front of us. The figure had white hair and seemed to be dressed like some sort of samurai. "Terra!" Aqua yelled and when he opened his eyes, his eyes showed a golden color. "He's under Xehanort's control!" Riku yelled. Then Terra summoned his keyblade, and it looks exactly like Xehanort's. He then charged at me at a very fast speed which is so fast I couldn't dodge in time. He then slashed down in order to hit me, but Aqua stepped in front of me and blocked his attack and kept him from moving forward

"Aqua!" I yell. "L-Leave Terra to me! Go on and save (Y/n)!" She yells. "But we can't just leave you!" Kairi yells, and Aqua pushes Terra back. "I-I'll be fine! Just go!" I then grab Kairi's hand. "C'mon! Aqua's strong. She can handle this." I tell Kairi and she nods in agreement. We then all run towards the exit that was behind Terra. "You are not escaping that easily!" Terra yells and charges at us. "Oh no you don't!" Aqua then cast some type of magic that created a barrier, which prevented Terra from hitting us. "Thanks Aqua!" I yell as the rest of us exit the room.

Aqua's POV

That should give Sora and the others some time. "You are going to pay for that!" Terra yelled. "Terra please listen to me! I know you're in there, I know there is still light in you! Please fight the darkness and find your way back to us!" I yell and I could see Terra tremble. "It's working!" But as soon as he starts, he then stops and gives me a malevolent smirk. "Please, do you think petty words will bring him back. If that was your plan then you certainly have no chance." He says to me. "Dammit... it seems I do have to fight Terra after all." He then raises his hand and suddenly Heartless began to appear.

"This is where you will fall!" He yells and begins to attack. He charges at me and swings his keyblade down, but I dodge his attack and move away from him. But the Heartless also began to attack as well and whenever they attacked I retaliated and destroyed them, but the more I destroy the more Heartless take their place. "Pay attention!" I heard a voice behind me, and right before I could react I was knocked into the wall. "GUH!" The impact of the wall made he dizzy. "Damn! I was so busy with the Heartless, I forgot about Terra!" I tried to stand up but the blow was so strong I barely had the strength to stand.

I then saw Terra place his keyblade near my neck. "You failed as a friend and as a master. And you will die before that feeling can fade." He raises his keyblade and I closed my eyes, preparing for the final blow. "I'm sorry Sora. But at least I'll die... by someone I know..."

"AQUA!!!"

I then open my eyes only to see the entrance we came in to suddenly burst open and to not only see Ventus but... Vanitas as well! "Ven..." I say as I'm still weak from the blow. Then both Ven and Vanitas strike Terra at the same time, knocking him into a wall, rendering him immobile for a bit. Ventus then took that chance to destroy the remaining Heartless. While he did that I continue to try to stand until I saw a hand covered in black. I looked up only to see Vanitas extending his hand to help me. I was reluctant to take it. "This doesn't mean I forgive for what you've done." I say as I take his hand. "I'm not asking for forgiveness, Aqua. But what I do what is for you to trust me. Otherwise we will never save Terra or (Y/n)." A part of me still didn't want to trust him but he's right. I sigh. "Alright." I simply said. "Now let's save Terra!"

3rd Person POV

Terranort began to rise up again and when he finally got his footing, he can see Ventus, Aqua and Vanitas together. "So this is why they managed to get past you so easily! You joined their side!" Terranort yelled. "I joined their side because what Xehanort is doing is cruel! I may have a heart made by negative emotions, but I can also care for others!" Vanitas yelled back. Terranort flinched at his response and held his keyblade tightly. Anger was swelling up inside him, but little did he know something else was swelling as well. "Enough! I'll teach you how I deal with traitors! And it's with your head on a platter!" Terranort yells and immediately charges the three.

Each of the three took a battle stance and readies themselves for the attack. Once Terranort got close they each dodge his attack and while Terra went after Vanitas, Ventus and Aqua took their chance to attack since Terranort was preoccupied with Vanitas.  Their attacks made contact onto Terranort's body, and with every slash that made contact with him, he grew weaker but the light in him grew stronger. For Terra knows that his friends are fighting at their utmost to set him free.

Terranort then focused his attacks on both Aqua and Ventus, but Vanitas then took that chance to attack. His keyblade hit Terranort from the back and with it Terranort grew weaker. Terranort then took a slight moment to regain some of his strength but in return for that mistake, he was met with an onslaught of attacks from the three keyblade wielders. Then after all their attacks connected, a huge burst of light appeared from Terranort's body, and with it came a heart. Terra's Heart. "No! Impossible!" Terranort yells. "Game over Xehanort." Vanitas says and all three keyblade wielders raises their blades toward Terranort. Beams of light then appeared from the tip of their blades and the beams hit Terranort.

The beams pierced Terranort through his body, but they did not harm him. For the darkness that once controlled Terra is now leaving his body, free from Xehanort's control. Once all the darkness left Terra's body his heart returned to him. Once his heart entered his body, the white hair then turned brown, and his eyes changed from a golden amber to a beautiful blue. Terra then looked at himself, his body, and then to his friends. "Aqua, Ven..." Terra was speechless, his friends saved him. Terra couldn't express his feelings through words so instead he got up and ran towards Aqua and Ventus and gave them a big hug. "Thank you... you brought me back, just like you promised." He said and tears began to fall from his eyes. Aqua and Ventus hugged back and tears began to fall from their eyes as well, for their were happy to see their friend again.

The hug lasted for only ten more seconds because Terra then realized that Vanitas was all alone. He let go of Aqua and Ventus and walked toward Vanitas, until he was directly in front of him. "Vanitas..." Terra spoke in a soft but stern voice. "Look I don't expect you to forgive me, especially after what I've done. So if you still hate me that's fine but I-" Vanitas was then cut off by a hug from Terra. "Thank you Vanitas. If it wasn't for your help I would have hurt Aqua fat worse than I did." Terra said and left Vanitas speechless. While the hug was going on, a smiling Aqua and Ventus walked toward Vanitas and despite the grudge Aqua still held towards Vanitas, she'll learn to forgive him. Aqua and Ventus then joined the hug with Vanitas, and deep inside Vanitas's heart grew warmth.

The hug lasted for another ten seconds, because Aqua remembered their mission. "Guys we need to keep going. Sora and the others have gone ahead, we need to catch up with them." She said and the boys nod, and with that each of them left the room.
