Hey everyone! Like I said, this will probably bridge the gap between the end of the previous chapter and the beginning of the final story of my Kingdom Hearts series. For those curious why I'm going to skip ahead, I can honestly say it's because I've lost a lot of interest in the story the last year or so. I literally had to force myself to sit down and write, but there were several of you who wanted me to keep going, and I appreciate that. So while it saddens me that the story will come to a close once it's all over, I can promise that I will give it my best to make the ending as epic as I can.

So here is a short monologue of Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu's three specific adventures leading up the finale...along with a...(drum roll...)...sneak peak of the finale! :0

(Keep in mind that the events of Key to the Heart have already taken place as well)

After stopping the plans of the Organization in Ben Tennyson's world, the trio of Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu continued onwards in their quest to keep the worlds safe and stop the Organization from doing any further damage.

First, the trio lands in a world that has a large castle in the background at Neo's suggestion since it is quite vulnerable. It turns out the castle is none other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...but in a ruined state. Matt finds his Keyblade has been altered to resemble a wand, finding his magic abilities greatly enhanced in the world. After exploring, they meet none other than the Harry Potter, the hero who had just come off of defeating the Dark Lord, Voldemort in the final battle. Harry is surprised at the trio's visit, along with his friends Ron and Hermione (who both make remarks of how ridiculous Stitch looks to the little alien's dismay).

Meanwhile, the Organization leader along with Xavier arrive at the outside of the castle, speaking to the remaining of Voldemort's Death Eaters who gone into hiding. He offers the chance at revenge, to which the dark wizards and witches agree on. Using their energy, the leader turns them all into Heartless and combines their energy into a spell that manages to revive Voldemort himself...but now as a Heartless himself. The Dark Lord agrees to the leader's wishes of taking Harry's heart in exchange for being the one to defeat Harry himself.

Matt warns Harry and the others about the impending danger, but it is too late as several Heartless begin to attack the castle. Matt and his friends, along with Harry, hold them off while everyone else takes cover inside the castle. Harry then falls over clutching his scar in disbelief, horrified to hear Voldemort's voice in his mind. Matt realizes what the Organization has done quickly. Voldemort demands that Harry come alone into the forest to face him again, to which the young wizard refuses until Voldemort threatens to send an even greater force of Heartless to the castle. Matt advises Harry to not listen, but the young wizard makes up his mind. However, Matt comes up with a plan to sneak himself and his friends in with Harry's Invisibility Cloak in order to assist him.

However, as they are making their way to the meeting spot, Xavier ambushes the young trio, engaging them in a battle as Harry goes on. The three manage to hold their own against Xavier for some time. Knowing that Harry cannot defeat Voldemort on his own, Matt tries to get past the Nobody, but is unable to before none other than Ron and Hermione arrive, allowing Matt to slip past Xavier.

Harry and Voldemort meet again, to which the latter taunts how after all Harry went through he would still lose. Harry replies that he will find a way to defeat Voldemort again, but not before he realizes that the Dark Lord has the power of the Heartless behind him. Voldemort overwhelms Harry with this magic, almost causing the young wizard to succumb to the Darkness. Luckily, Matt arrives in time to break Voldemort's curse and save Harry. The evil wizard tries to kill Matt with his signature curse, but is amazed to find that Matt's Keyblade can deflect the curse. Infuriated, Voldemort transforms into a naga-like Heartless, swearing to destroy them both once and for all.

Meanwhile, the four other heroes manage to hold off Xavier's assault long enough for the Nobody to retreat.

Matt and Harry exchange blows with Voldemort for some time, as both his physical strength and dark magic give the duo all they can handle. Eventually, Harry and Voldemort's wands happen to connect, allowing Matt the chance to land a devastating blow. However, Voldemort starts amplifying his Killing Curse in waves, which force both Matt and Harry to their knees. Eventually, both Matt and Harry's friends arrive at the scene, giving both the strength to stand and force Voldemort back. Blinded by the light radiating from both heroes, Matt and Harry seize the oppurtunity by combining both Matt's Kingdom Blast and Harry's curse to finish off Voldemort once and for all. However, the battle allowed the leader to gain several hearts throughout the world once again. As Matt and co bid Harry, Ron, and Hermione farewell, he watches Matt with a keen eye, cracking a smile at how powerful Matt has become.

The trio's next destination would then take them to a world known as 'The Land of Fire'. They arrive in front of a huge city, donning different clothing that of a ninja and bearing a headband with a leaf engraved in the metal. Matt is delighted when he realizes where they've arrived, but not before four of the city's ninja surround them and capture them as spies.

The trio are taken to the village's leader, the Hokage known as Tsunade. Coincidentally, she is in a meeting with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno discussing the matter of the mysterious creatures spotting around the ninja lands as of late. Naruto, as usual, doesn't think it's that big of a deal, to which he is scolded by Tsunade about how serious it may actually be. Finally, Matt is brought forth before the Hokage, who demands to know why they are donning their headbands. Matt says how it is all a big misunderstanding, to which he forced to summon his Keyblade. Immediately, Tsunade calms down and releases the trio, recognizing the weapon and saying that Matt is no threat. Naruto wonders why the Keyblade is such a big deal, to which his leader scolds him again to realize that at how powerful it really is.

Matt explains why he and his friends have arrived in the village, explaining their mission to the group's amazement. The Organization then sends their Heartless into the village to try and capture Naruto so they can take the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit in order to use it's energy to create an even more powerful Heartless. With the help of Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu, they manage to hold off the attack, but not before Sakura is taken prisoner by a hooded member of the Organization.

Naruto, along with Matt and co. pursue the kidnapper against Tsunade's wishes. Along the way, they are shocked when they are stopped by Sasuke Uchiha. However, Matt quickly realizes this is only a Heartless and not the real one. The shade mocks Naruto for his failures, forcing the blonde ninja to his knees. However, Matt berates the shade back, stating that Naruto is a hero in his eyes for all he's done. Matt then engages the Sasuke shade one-on-one before defeating him with a powerful combo. Stitch and Pikachu notice a strange aura around Matt after he wins, the duo wondering what was happening before the aura disappears. Naruto thanks Matt for his words before the group continues.

Finally, the group catches up with the kidnapper, who is none other than the former Organization XIII member Saix. Saix offers for Naruto to give himself up in exchange for Sakura, which Naruto does. However, Saix is decieved by one of Naruto's Shadow Clones in the process. This forces him to summon a behemoth like Nobody, telling it to attack the Hidden Leaf Village and to assimilate all it's inhabitants.

The heroes confront the behemoth before it reaches Konoha. All of their regular attacks don't seem to do much against the monster at first. Naruto tries to use his jutsu to make thousands of clones of himself to try and slow it down. It seems to work when combined with his Rasengan, but the behemoth uses several Heartless on it's body to knock some of the clones off. Matt wants to help badly before realizing the aura around him before was the jutsu he carried in the world. Matt then manages to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu as well, giving them the edge once more. However, the behemoth resorts to using a powerful blast of darkness to try and destroy the city. Matt quickly gathers Stitch, Pikachu, and Sakura's energy using his Keyblade before combining it with Naruto's Rasengan, forming the 'Kingdom Rasengan'. The attack manages to push through the dark attack before destroying the behemoth once and for all.

Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu are honored by Tsunade for their efforts in helping the city, making them official ninja. Naruto and Sakura thank the trio for their help as well before they go on their way.

While the trio is traveling once more, they notice a strange ring like structure floating towards world. Neo calls and warns them of a high Heartless concentration in that area that is spreading abnormally fast, which leads the heroes to landing on the ring.

The trio are then stuck on a snowy terrain when they are suddenly attacked by Heartless. However, the creatures look and act different than normal, as they seem to try and latch on to our heroes. Just as the three are overwhelmed, they are saved by two other figures in the nick of time. Matt is amazed to find they are none other than Spartan 117 (aka Master Chief), and the Arbiter. This also leads him to realize they are also on a Halo ring, which in turn is actually a deadly weapon.

The Chief and Arbiter explain to the three they are going to try and light the ring to destroy the Flood, which in turn has already landed on the ring as well. As Matt and the others explain their mission as well, Chief relays through the AI Cortana that her worst fears were realized that the Flood and Heartless have combined into an even deadlier foe. She then states that if they don't figure out a way to stop them here and now, the new breed would be able to leave the ring and consume the worlds at an even faster rate than ever before.

Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu aid the Master Chief and Arbiter as they fight their way through hordes and hordes of monsters to make their way inside the ring's mainframe. They have several close calls along the way, with Matt having to resort to using his Kingdom Slash attack in order to wipe out enough of the enemies in order to allow the group entrance.

Once they are inside the Control Room, the machine known as 343 Guilty Spark turns on the heroes when they say they want the destroy the ring before it is ready, as it would only destroy the Flood on the ring when lit. Spark blasts Matt and Arbiter back off of their feet, with Stitch shielding Pikachu. Pikachu, thanks to Stitch's quick thinking, shocks the little machine, stunning it momentarily before the Chief throws Stitch onto Spark. Stitch then dismantles Spark before it does any more damage. The Master Chief then credits the two little heroes for their efforts before he lights the ring.

Matt finds himself severely weakened from the encounter, forcing Chief and Arbiter to carry him out while Stitch and Pikachu hold off more Heartless from attacking them as they make their way towards a vehicle. Matt rides in back as Master Chief drives a lone Warthog across the ring's service as it fires while the others keep hordes and hordes of Heartless at bay. In the middle of the ride, Master Chief is knocked unconscious when Zendrix appears in the vehicle to the other's dismay. She thanks the heroes for 'fixing the problem' before she disappears and leaves them for dead. Enduring the pain, Matt quickly takes the wheel and weaves his way across the ring before finally making the jump towards the Gummi Ship. Stitch then drives the ship away from the resulting explosion that destroys the Flood and whatever Heartless they absorbed.

The trio then transport Master Chief and Arbiter their own world, to which they both give their thanks for the assistance in accomplishing their final goal. Arbiter even implies that they owe the trio a debt, to which Master Chief advises not to 'encourage' the younger heroes.

As Matt recovers from the battle on the Halo ring, little does he know just how serious things are about to become...

Preview with different scenes of the Final Saga! *cues epic music*

King Mickey rushes over to an unconsious boy on the beach, shaking him and calling out his name. "Riku? Riku?"

Neo scolds Matt over an intercom. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Matt?"

"What does it look like Neo?" Matt replies. "We're going after him..."

Matt lies on the ground, looking up in agony at his opponent. "And you call yourself a Keyblade wielder...," the opponent taunts him, shining a Keyblade of his own at him.

The opponent shields his eyes as Matt lowers himself to the ground. "What...what's going on?" he shouts.

Matt looks up, his eyes now a shade of black with white pupils and smiles.

Everyone gathers around Master Yen Sid at the castle. "In order to face this threat, you will need all your friends help. You must form a team of allies..."

At the World that Never Was, Matt is shown fighting against Xavier, the two in a locked position and staring at each other with hatred in their eyes.

Stitch and Pikachu are both panting from exhaustion from different battles.

Matt stares down the Organization's leader. "Who are you?" he demands. The leader finally puts down his hood, forcing Matt's eyes to widen farther than ever before. "No...th...this can't be."

"It is..."

Matt stares out into the sunset on Destiny Islands next to the Papou tree, a lone fruit sitting at his feet.

Neo: It's like she told me once before...for every beginning...there is an end...

Will Matt and his friends be able to stop the Organization once and for all? Find out in...Kingdom Hearts Next Generation: Setting Sun! Coming to a fanfiction near you!

Peace out,
