Twisted Hearts

Chapter 15: Breaking and Falling

(And next week is the final! This story is finished! I cannot wait to see your reactions to this piece! Actually, kind of relieved that this will be done soon! I forgot how long this story is. As well as it being finished before Leona's event. I do have a story for him, but it is not finished yet. I am debating on what to do with it. Enjoy!)

          Aqua noticed the Princess of Heart was approaching them with her head lowered and hands clenched into fists at her sides.

"Is everything alright, Kairi?" Aqua asked worriedly as she checked on her student.

"No, I am not alright with this" she replied seriously, "How can any of you be?! We need to go out there and help them!"

There was silence over them as they shared unsure expressions. Kairi faced them with a stern expression as Riku shook his head.

"But what is right and wrong? What is light and dark?" he asked her unsure as he knew Terra and Skuld would share his viewpoint.

Kairi couldn't believe Riku was disagreeing with her, but he gestured his head to the others' reactions. Riku held a hopeful expression to his friend while turning to the others who were unsure.

Roxas rubbed his head in a tired manner before answering, "It doesn't matter in the end"

"Because it all matters who uses it and how" Xion answered simply with a smile of her own.

Kairi was surprised to hear this as Terra finally asked, "And are you sure about this? Some of those villains did hurt you and us before. Are you positive that they will not turn out the same way as their villain?"

She closed her eyes before summoning her keyblade to raise upward.

"I don't think they will" she answered firmly, "They're out there right now. They want to save and help those important to them. If they were truly like the villains we fought, they would've left them. So, I believe in them! I will go out there and help them!"

The princess hoped that the others would agree with her, but she was met with silence. She was worried as she hesitantly opened her eyes until she heard someone else summoning their keyblade. She gasped in relief to see Riku holding his keyblade as well as a knowing smirk.

"Don't even tell me that you and Sora weren't going to do this without our help" Riku said in a knowing tone, "I am going to help you. That was never going to change"

Kairi smiled softly at him as Roxas and Xion summoned their keyblades as well and standing with them.

"Of course, we were going to help!" Xion said in a knowing tone with Roxas adding, "There is no way I am not going to help someone who is finally as interesting as me. Also, can't have Riku showing me up"

Terra and Aqua each summoned their keyblades as Ven and Chirithy cheered while Vanitas sighed.

"And we are going to help as well" Aqua answered before looking at Terra with an encouraging expression, "And I know we will do this together, right, Terra?"

He did cross his arms over his chest with his heavy keyblade before answering in full confidence, "I wanted to make sure we agreed before charging in to help them. I know some of them do bring back terrible memories, but they are not them in the end. Also, I share an understanding with Leona, and I also know that his favorite nephew will want to be there to help"

Ven rushed in with his keyblade as Chirithy sat on his head with Vanitas holding his and standing with his brother.

Ephemer walked with Skuld and Brain as his expression held his determined smile.
