The Power of a Princess (A KH3 Fanfiction)

Past Battle #5/Missing crystal pieces

Soon... Sora and Kairi managed to arrive at the Tower of Endings to meet up with Riku, King Mickey, Terra, Ventus and Aqua.

"Terra! Aqua! Ven! Riku! Your Majesty!" Sora shouted.

"Sora! Kairi!" King Mickey and Aqua smiled as they see the duo arriving.

"About time, you two," Riku said.

"Sorry!" Kairi pants.

Terra noticed Ansem, Xemnas and Young Xehanort appearing. "Guardians, we've got company!"

As Master Xehanort was watching on the plateau, Sora ran up to Xemnas with Kairi. "Xemnas! Where's Hikari?"

Ventus gasped as he looked at Sora and Kairi. "Wait! Is she in trouble?"

"Yeah, Xemnas took her," Kairi nodded.

Master Xehanort chuckled as he looked down at Kairi. "Settle down, my dear."

Kairi glared at Master Xehanort. "It's Kairi!"

Master Xehanort looked over at Hikari who's chain to the ground. "The princess of Kingdom Hearts... mine at last." He walked up to her and makes nine Xehanort Keyblades appear. "There, you see? The thirteen darknesses and seven lights have clashed nine times, yielding these nine keys."

Hikari's eyes widened. "Keys?"

Master Xehanort looked down at the Seven Guardians of Light. "We are four short... But those four keys will be produced here and now."

Ventus glared at Master Xehanort. "Yeah, sure. And what makes you think there'd ever be any way we'd help you with that?"

Master Xehanort smirked. "You forget I plan for every eventuality."

Ventus gasped. "Hikari!"

Riku looked up at Master Xehanort. "If you do summon Kingdom Hearts, we will defeat you, and we will close it again."

"Perhaps," Master Xehanort said. "That is... if all of you survive that long!"

And so, the final confrontation between the seven guardians of light and three remaining seekers of darkness has begun.

Riku and Mickey fights Ansem.

Sora and Kairi fights Xemnas.

Terra, Ventus and Aqua fights Young Xehanort.

Soon, Master Xehanort managed to make things challenging for the seven guardians by summoning flying old Keyblades but they formed a barrier to protect themselves.

Then the seven guardians continued to battle Ansem, Xemnas and Young Xehanort.

Later...Ansem was the first to be defeated as Riku walked up to his ex-possessor. "Ansem..."

Xehanort's Heartless looked at Riku. "What...a journey you and I have had..."

Riku frowned. "You know, it's strange. I think I'm gonna miss you."

"Your strength is vaster than darkness," Ansem explained. "I knew I never stood a chance. Part of me wanted to defy my fate...but when the others betrayed us, I found I did not care. And then, nothing else seemed to matter anymore."

Kairi exchanges looks with Sora and turns to Xehanort's Heartless. "Ansem..."

"What? It is time to move on, princess..." Ansem said to Kairi as he starts to fade away. "There is more to seek... so go forth now, and seek it..."

Riku looked at the other guardians of light and nods at them. The battle continues on as the seven battles Xemnas and Young Xehanort.

Xemnas is the next one to be defeated. "Bested...yet again..."
