The Keyblade War Chapter I

Chapter Thirty Five: Confession

The Shadow Seeker and Xion explain to the rest everything that happened, and everyone paid close attention. But Sora, Donald and Goofy were still sleeping calmly on the grass, without a care in the world. Then Riku and King Mickey came through the courtyard entrance and saw them sleeping. King Mickey smiled and Riku indicated to the King that he was going to wake them up. He goes up to them and stands in front of them.

Riku: WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUMS!

And with that, Sora, Donald and Goofy abruptly wake up.

Goofy: Whoah! What's going on!? Did Donald get away with the cake again???

Donald: Hey, what's the big idea!?

Sora: Riku, Mickey, you're back!

Donald: Waak! Your Majesty!

Goofy: We're happy to see that you're all right!

Riku: We're happy to be back. And it looks like everyone is here and accounted for.

They walk towards the rest of their allies, but they notice that Kyle is in the corner of the courtyard, gazing upon the gardens, seeming to look troubled. He seems filled with pain and sadness. Ventus goes towards Kyle and puts his hand on his shoulder.

Ventus: Hey Kyle, why the long face? Why are you all alone over here, when you could be with us over there? Is something wrong?

Kyle: It's just that...I've caused so much suffering. None of this would have happened if I'd only never created The Four Sprits. I'm sorry...

Ventus: What do you mean?

Kyle: It's time that all of you knew...Everyone! Gather around. I need to make a confession...

At his request, everyone goes towards him and looks at him, wondering what is it that he wants to say. Vanitas simply goes to the corner of a wall and leans his back on it, as if knowing what Kyle is about to say. Everyone looks at Kyle and are eager to listen.

Aqua: What is it Kyle?

Kyle: There are some things that you should know. I must tell you that my memories have returned. I remember everything from my past, and I know who my parents were, and everything that happened before my memory had been erased. It all started twelve years ago, when my father Dimitri started his research. He and my mother Alicia would work countless hours trying to find answers to all of their questions. Then, the Heartless killed my parents, and Ansem the Wise raised me as his own. Then I decided to continue the research that my parents had started, and so I created The Four Spirits. It's something I should have never done. Xylek put me under his trance, and it's because of me that The Four Spirits have been unleashed. It's all my fault...I brought doom to you all.

Everyone stays silent for a few seconds and Kyle kneels down to the floor and cries.

Kyle: I'm so sorry!

Ventus: Don't blame yourself! You weren't in control of yourself, Xylek was controlling you! None of that matters now, because you're here with us!

Ventus goes to Kyle and hugs him, and Kyle continues to cry. One by one, everyone puts their hands on his shoulders, reassuring him that he is forgiven.

Terra: The past is the past, it's already been done. Don't blame yourself for something you couldn't control. What matters is the actions we do to stop all of this.

Dexeres: That's right. What we do now can change the course of the future. We're here for you Kyle.

Lunar: Yes Kyle, we are all here to give you strength. You can always count on us.
