Yes, It Begins

Sora stared at the odd note he had received. Riku looked at it over his shoulder.
"You gonna go?" he asked Sora.
Sora read the note to himself one last time.

It ends today. Everything ends today. Only one will walk away from this battle: either the Organization, or you, Sora. Either way, it ends today.

Nexan, I


Sora shrugged. "Is there any other choice?"
Riku looked directly into his eyes. "Sora, it could be a trap."
Sora smiled his confident smile. "I know, but it IS our last chance to finally end the rein of Evil. I think I should go."
Riku shouldered his Keyblade. "I'm going too, then."
"To the battle!"

Maxsodin sat on the pier, unable to think. Thinking only brought confusion, and the confusion more thinking, as the cycle went. The words of Nexan echoed in her empty head, mixing with the words of her dream Roxas. And out of those two jumbled memories, one thought was born.
It ends today, whatever the outcome. Only I can choose HOW.
Some kinship instinct told Maxsodin that Sora would be there. He WOULD come. Maxsodin had to follow whatever theoretical heart Roxas had told her to follow.
And some throbbing deep inside her told Maxsodin there was no escaping destiny.
"You were always destined for something greater..." Sora's words echoed around her.
Swelling her chest, Maxsodin let out a shuddering sigh. "I'm the master of Darkness. I control IT, and it will do as I say!"
Her figures began to give off a glow that looked like black fog. Grabbing the air around her, Maxsodin pried open a portal. Shutting her eyes and willing herself to arrive where she needed to go, Maxsodin stepped into the portal, and left the peaceful atmosphere of Port Royal behind her.
