KH Dream Drop Distance: Distance Connects Us All

Chapter 18: Beginning

People in all the worlds looked up at their night skies with tears in their eyes. They knew what had happened and cried for the Princess. They saw the once bright star blinked out and cried that they would all be in danger yet again. Their tears once fell down their cheeks did not fall on the floor, for they turned into sparkles which flew to the sky. All their sparkles formed a new star which shined extremely brightly.

Lavina looked back up at the sky and gasped.

"Everyone!" She called and they rushed to her. They all looked up to see a single star shining extremely brightly. It shined bright than all of those stars and brought light in that dark sky.

"It seems that a new star has been born and it is shining brighter than the others." Yen Sid stated.

Riku had tears falling down his cheeks and he sobbed. Lea and Sora wrapped their arms around his shoulders and cried with him. King Mickey, Donald and Goofy hugged each other with frowns.

Haruka's body illuminated and they all turned to it. Her body was still broke and she still looked beaten up. It shined brightly and floated up. They all watched with wide eyes. Her body suddenly disappeared. They all sighed and lost the renewed hope they had.

Suddenly a very bright portal opened and they looked up again, all except Riku. They couldn't really see what was through but a figure walked out of it. It was a woman who wore a very sparkly silver dress which fell to the floor. The portal closed and they saw red long curly hair with sparkles in it. Her skin was so radiant with a new glow. She opened her eyes which were so much brighter and she smiled with a giggle. Her hair danced in the wind.

The others gasped and their hope finally came back. They all smiled and had tears of happiness.

"I'm alive…" Haruka said happily.

She looked at everyone and her green eyes fell on Lavina who stared at her. Haruka's eyes watered and she grinned with tears falling down her cheek. Her heart filled with so much happiness and relief.

"Grandma!" She exclaimed enthusiastically and ran to her. She jumped onto Lavina who caught her and embraced her.

"My baby!" She cried and kissed her granddaughter head.

"You're here…" Haruka mumbled.

"And I will never leave." Lavina stated and they pulled away from each other. The woman looked down at her granddaughter with a proud smile. "You look a little like your mother but more like me and your father. I see your father in your eyes."

Haruka blinked slowly with a sweet smile and her grandmother kissed her forehead. Lea ran to his baby sister and hugged her. She hugged him back with a smile.

"I'll never die on you guys; ever…" She promised. Lavina hugged them all and they hugged her. Yen Sid and Mickey smiled when they watched the family. They only needed 2 more; Harumi and her father.

"Haruka!" Donald and Goofy shouted and she pulled away from Lavina and Lea. Haruka kneeled down and opened her arms as they hugged her.

"Aw guys…." She giggled and hugged them tighter.

"Don't leave like that again." Donald stated and she nodded.

"I promise." Haruka said and they pulled away from her.

"Ruka!" The Prince exclaimed and kneeled down. He hugged her really tightly and she smiled.

"Nocti-boo." She hugged him and he kept sobbing. "Hey….stop crying. I'm alive." She pulled away from him and wiped his tears.

"I've lost you once and I don't wanna lose you again." He muttered and she nodded. She kissed his head and he leaned his forehead on hers.

Lavina watched them with a proud smile; Prince Noctis and Princess Haruka. What a match!

"Haru!" She heard a voice and stood up. She ran to her brown haired friend with tears in her eyes.

"Sora!" She exclaimed with relief and hugged him tight. "You're awake!" She stated.

"Yeah." He mumbled and she pulled away from him. The red haired teen smacked his head hard. "OUCH!"

"What did I tell you about snoozing off?!" She asked and they laughed. He laughed goofily and she sighed. "Sora, don't scare me like that again."

"Now you know how we felt when you sacrificed yourself." He stated and she smiled sadly.

Haruka turned to the silver haired Keyblade Master who kept staring outside. He didn't take notice of what was going. He had tears falling down his cheeks. She walked up to him and smiled. The red haired Princess tapped his shoulder and he turned around. His cyan eyes widened and she jumped onto him. Riku picked her up and spun her around.

"Riku!" She shouted with happiness.

"My Princess!" He sighed and she giggled whilst wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Lavina watched on and smiled; so this was Riku, her love.

He placed her down and placed his hands on her cheeks. The red haired teen stared up into his beautiful eyes.

"I love you." Riku whispered and kissed her lips gently. She closed her green eyes and pulled him closer to her deepening the kiss. He was a little shocked but returned the kiss.

"I love you more." She said.

"I love you most." He winked and she blushed.

"Princess Haru!" The King exclaimed and she hugged him too whilst picking him up. He laughed and she giggled.

"Haruka, that's the King." Lavina stated a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, Lavina. Haruka is my friend." He stated and she put him down.

"Your Highness…" Yen Sid trailed off with opened arms. Haruka ran to him and hugged him. He patted her head and smiled. She pulled away from him and sighed with delight.

"What happened?" Goofy asked.

"Well I met 3 people. Phoenix, my Nobody and Rin my Heartless. The last was a little girl called Hikari. She was so sweet and cute. She was Harumi and Terra's daughter." Lavina and Lea gasped. "She was supposed to be a Princess of Heart and she gave her power to Kairi. Xehanort killed her when she was still in Harumi's womb."

"We remember the day that happened." The fairies said.

"She reminded me what I had to do and all the goals I had for the future. Together we need to find the other Keyblade wielders, we need to fight together to bring them back and defeat Xehanort. We must bring peace to the world like how it was a long time ago." Haruka explained. She turned to them with the biggest smile ever. "Together we will defeat Xehanort and bring forth peace."

They all stood together with smiles and faces of determination. The Keyblade Wielders summoned their Keyblades and smiled each other. Lea held out his hand and suddenly a Keyblade appeared in his hand. It resembled his Chakrams. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Mickey, Noctis and Yen Sid gasped. Haruka high fived her brother and Lavina gave rustled his hair.

The Princess, Sora and Riku walked up to each other. They smiled at each other and joined their Keyblades.

"This next journey, we'll do it together." Haruka promised.

Leroy was walking through the Keyblade Graveyard and looked up at the sky. He saw a bright star and smiled with a sigh.

"Haruka."

Terra and Ven sat in the Land of Departure and stared at the sky. They saw a bright star twinkling and smiled.

"Haruka."

Phoenix sat on top of the Clock Tower and was eating sea salt ice cream. She looked up at the night sky with wide eyes as she saw the bright start. She stared with amazement.

"Haruka!"

Rin was in Castle Oblivion, she looked out of the window and up at the sky. She noticed the sky and fluttered her eyelashes.

"Haruka…"

Harumi sat on the sand in the Realm of Darkness with a hooded man. They both looked up at the sky and saw that bright star in the dark sky. The red haired woman smiled with a tear falling down her face.

"Haruka…"

"This isn't the end; just the beginning." The Princess and her 2 best friends stated.

Drumroll please…!
