I'll Protect You No Matter What(Pokémon ver.)

Accepting Reality(Day 6)

No one's Pov

In a matter of hours, Sora would awaken. All memories of him and the Princess were coming back to all who knew them. Ansem decided to have one last conversation with DiZ. His Lycanroc standing nearby.

"Why did you show them the train?" Ansem asked.

"Because they missed the trip to the beach." DiZ said.

"Hmph.. that's almost kind of you." Ansem said.

"Now... what about you? Are the holes in your memory starting to fill in?" DiZ asked.

"Yes... the haze is clearing. Though, there are some memories I'd be happy to never have back." Ansem said.

"You mean the ones of you inflicting pain on the princess?" DiZ asked. The man cringed at the mere thought of it. He remembered that one moment... when he allowed his lust, his darkness, to control his actions as he forced himself onto the girl he loved and shattered her innocence. He is tormented by the scene. Her cries and pleas for him to stop echo in his ears. The tears flowing from her pain-filled eyes etched into his mind. The feeling of her blood seeping from her body as he raped her burned his skin. He said it was to show that he loved her, but really it was a matter of marking territory.

"I've never had a night of peaceful sleep. Those memories will torture me even long after I've died. And now I can never ask for forgiveness." Ansem said.

"I offer my condolences. I did what I could, but there were far greater scars on the princess's heart. Ones from her past. Only by those events being corrected will her heart ever be fully healed." DiZ said. A small portal opened and out stepped the humanoid child Heartless and her Poochyena. "Ah, Kage." The small child Heartless ignore the man and walked over to Ansem, who picked her up. He sat down and placed the Heartless in his lap. Poochyena went over to Lycanroc, who picked it up with one of his giant paws.

"I've waited, and now I want to know. What is it that you want?" Ansem asked.

"Revenge." DiZ answered. To this, Ansem clenched his fist and the Heartless glared at the man. Both Poochyena and Lycanroc quietly growled.

"Revenge." Ansem said.

"Now, for the finishing touches. First, dispose of her, Naminé and their pets." DiZ said. The glare in the Heartless' eyes turned to fear as she gripped onto the hooded man. Poochyena jumped and stood in front of Kage. "They've done a splendid job in helping with Sora and Hikari, but it's high time they both disappeared. Roxas and Nikko weren't the only ones meant to never exist. Take care of it, Ansem." He does not reply. He simply takes Kage and Poochyena to Naminé and Pachirisu, who is on Sunset Hill. He request that Axel take them into hiding, which he complies with.

Restoration at 97%.

Dream

Gawrsh, is that all that's left of the worlds taken by the Heartless?

Those worlds will be restored if we beat Ansem, right?

But, once that happens... they'll become disconnected again.

What will happen to this world? What will happen to us?

Well... this world is made up of the remains of destroyed worlds, so it may disappear. As for all of you, you'll return to your home worlds.
