Chapter 8: Final Chapter-part II
In the complete darkness stood only two lights-Koru and Ramo."What's gonna happen to us?", Koru asked.
"I don't know, but we can't give up searching for the light. Now that we're back together, we can help each other search for it",Ramo replied.
"Yeah",Koru said smiling.
He opened his eyes, the orange sunlight coming from the huge hole in the wall was covering part of his body. It was sunset. Kei got up, he was slightly confused about what had happened recently. He remembered fighting in this very place, but there were still a few gaps in his memory. He looked around and saw a brown haired girl lying on the floor a few feet away from him. He stared a t her for some time, confused. Then he suddenly remembered. "Naomi!", he yelled as he ran towards her. He lifted her and shook her, she didn't move. He looked around expecting to see either someone who could help him or someone who could at least tell him what had happened. His memory was still taking time to recover and would probably take at least two days to recover completely. Fortunately for him,parts of his memory seemed to be returning every second. He just remembered a large mysterious tower and going there through a dark portal. He remembered going there to find out something very important and if he had gotten something useful there, the there might be a big chance he would manage to find someone who could help Naomi and if he was lucky, perhaps tell him what had happened in the past few hours. The last thing he remembered before waking up was fighting in a really big battle and then standing on a large circular platform when a ray of light shot through his chest.
This was definitely the most sensible thing he could do right now and it was the only place he remembered where something good happened. He lifted Naomi in his arms as a dark portal opened in front of him. Carrying the unconscious girl he walked into it.
Master Yen Sid was sitting on his chair behind his desk as usual. The dark portal opened inside the room and Kei walked in with Naomi in his hands. "Ah Kei, I was hoping to see you again", he spoke, but stopped immediately after noticing Naomi. "I sense something tragic has happened to poor, young Naomi". Kei quietly sat her on the chair in front of Yen Sid's desk. The Master got up and walked towards her. He lifted Naomi's head and began examining her while Kei stood watching. "How much do you remember?", Yen Sid suddenly asked.
"Not much",Kei replied.
"Do you remember who I am?", Yen Sid asked.
"All I remember is coming to you to ask something",Kei replied.
"Do you remember what that 'something' was?"
"Yeah, I think I came to ask you something about 'coming back' or something like that right?"
"Yes that is correct".
"Can you tell me what happened?"
"I am afraid that is something only you can tell yourself, I do not know you enough to be able to tell you much".
"How long will my memory take to return?"
"That depends on how you try to regain it. I would suggest you go to worlds that you have been to before especially the realm of darkness".
"Okay, I will, but what about Naomi, can you tell me what happened to her?",Kei asked.
"I might have an idea, but in order to confirm that you must remember and tell me everything that has happened since the last time you came to me",he answered.
"But Master Yen Sid that can take a really long time",Kei said.
"Oh can it? Tell me Kei before you walked into this room did you even remember my name or the realm of darkness?",the Master asked. Kei could not deny this, in the past few minutes several memories had been appearing in his thoughts. "Go now, and search for the bits of your memory. I'm sure it won't take too long, until then I assure you, Naomi will be safe here with me". Kei nodded and left in a dark portal.
The portal opened near the station in Twilight Town and Kei stepped out looking around,he had been here before. He decided to walk around and see what else he could remember when he suddenly noticed a small bit of ice on the station tower. He remembered running up that tower to avoid being frozen and for some reason he also remembered shooting ice towards someone who was running up the same station tower. How could he be able to remember that fight from two different views? He decided to walk towards the town to see what other memories he could find.
He walked into the main area of town, there were a few buildings and shops. The tram passed in front of him, a few passengers stared at him as if they had never seen him before. "Mommy, when is Naomi coming back?",came the words from a small boy not far from Kei. He seemed to know Naomi, and his mother seemed to have suddenly gotten upset on hearing Naomi's name. A memory of a dark beam going through Naomi flashed into Kei's mind. Kei suddenly began to think that Naomi could have been dead. Perhaps Master Yen Sid knew, but just wasn't willing to tell him,, maybe he thought it would be a bad idea to tell Kei what had happened to Naomi at least until his memory returned. One thing Kei was sure of was that this was Naomi's family. He felt a little guilty. In front of him stood Naomi's family worrying about where she is and there was no way he could make them believe that Naomi was unconscious, in a tower, in another world, under the care of an old, but powerful keyblade master. At that moment there was only one thought that made him happy, regaining his memory was neither hard nor taking as long as he thought.
He walked to a wall under a bridge where he could not be seen. He opened a portal and left, this time going some where he knew he spent a really long time in.
It was silent and dark, the waves were crashing against the shores of the 'dark margin'. Kei appeared out of a portal and stood on the beach. The atmosphere of this world immediately poured several memories into Kei's mind. He knew he had spent a lot of time here and in Radiant Garden, though he remembered doing much more in the realm of darkness whereas all he remembered about Radiant Garden was leading an army of heartless against the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee.
Now it finally made sense, he suddenly realised that the reason he had a two-sided memory of everything was because he had once become a heartless and nobody and their deaths were how he came back. There was only one place he remembered waking up as a heartless for the first time- The Badlands. That was where he decided to go, he no longer cared about finding out what happened to Naomi,he felt he had to find out what happened to him and more importantly why after so many years he can not remember being any younger, he should have been a grown man by now , but was still a teenager. He opened the portal and walked in.
He appeared in the badlands after more than a decade. It all happened so quickly. His head suddenly started hurting and his vision became blurred as he started to black out and shut down like a computer that had been unplugged.

Thousands of memories began appearing along with several names and neither of those were Kei's memories. There was one where he was talking to someone called Mickey who stood next to a boy he somehow recognized as Ramo. Several memories of destiny islands and several other worlds came, non of which Kei recognized.There was one where he was looking at a sleeping baby sometimes through Ramo's eyes and sometimes through Koru's. "Good bye Sora, if we don't make it I know you'll grow up and take care of everyone", Koru said looking at his one-year old nephew, he knew he was going to a fight he had little chances of winning.
"C'mon Koru stop making a drama, we'll come back, we always do don't we?", Ramo spoke.
"Yeah, but how many times have we gone to do something like this?",Koru asked.
"Well never, but we're keyblade wielders it's our job to protect the light, at any cost", Ramo replied. Koru sighed and they both left quietly, it was past midnight and everyone was asleep. Another memory came, perhaps the most important one, they were losing the fight against Master Xehanort and had decided to merge their hearts and that was when Kei came into existence and fought Xehanort.
Kei opened his eyes, so that was where he came from. That was all he had ever lived, since the moment he first existed all he ever did was fight and search for answers. What was worst was that he was never even born. He had no home, family or even friends. The only reason he came into existence was to stop a mad man from spreading darkness everywhere and he did not even succeed at that. Heart broken he opened a portal and walked into it.
"I know what happened to Naomi", Kei told Master Yen Sid,"but i don't think i needed to find out did I?".
"No I needed you to simply confirm it", he replied.
" So how long will she be asleep like this?", Kei asked.
" Eleven years ago a similar thing happened to a boy named Ventus, he has not awoken since then because his friends could not return to him. She may continue to sleep like this forever",Yen Sid answered.
"I don't know whether I should feel bad or wish I could end up like that", Kei said miserably. Yen Sid took a deep breath.
"I could give you two options, you could either train with me and join Sora in bringing an end to Xehanort or you can bring Naomi back", Yen Sid told him.
"Bring Naomi back, sounds like a good idea and I know the best way, one that's good for everyone", Kei replied.
"Are you sure it would be best for everyone?", Yen Sid asked.
"Think about it, there's plenty of darkness in me from all the things I did as a heartless and all the anger I gathered as a Nobody. Koru and Ramo will never find the light in such a dark place. Naomi is full of light, she's the best hope they've got. I was not even supposed to exist. If I do this, they might be able to come back and besides, Naomi's friends and family are worried sick about her. It's not like any one is going to miss me, right?", Kei explained.
" Do what you must", Yen Sid said simply and walked towards the window shaped like a crescent moon. Several feet behind, Donald and Goofy were peeking through the door, listening to the entire conversation. Naomi was lying on a bed on one side of the room.
Kei summoned his keyblade. It was a merged version of Xiek and Ike's keyblades with two chains that had a Nobody and a Heartless symbol on it. He placed the tip against his chest and out of a small burst of white light his heart came out and went towards Naomi. The last thing he saw was his heart go into Naomi before everything blacked out.
"I wish there was something we could do for him",said Koru.
"We can, he gave up his life so that we can return. He wanted us to come back",said Ramo.
"Yeah your right", Koru said. He suddenly looked up.

"Ramo look!", Koru yelled pointing towards something behind Ramo. Ramo turned around.
"The light!",he yelled.
"What are you waiting for, let's go!", Koru exclaimed and they both ran off towards the light, the light that would finally take them home once they reached it. Thirteen years of living in the dark would soon be over.
