Third p.o.v.
In the realm of darkness Riku, Mickey and Oswald are wandering through the darkness trying to find Aqua like last time. Then they're at the same spot as last time but they stop searching until Demon Tide comes.
"This is the spot where we last search for Aqua" said Mickey
"Let's hope that Aqua is here" said Riku
"Well let's not waste any time and start to search" said Oswald, Mickey gave the lucky rabbit a nod but Oswald turned away and started to search. Mickey then looked sad and started to search as well. Riku saw this and decided to talk with the lucky rabbit.
"Oswald" he started and Oswald turned to face him. "Listen I don't understand why you are mad at Mickey but at this point there no reasons to be mad"
"Are you serious? You don't know what he has done to me? To the others cartoon that have forgotten?" said Oswald
"But don't you think it's time to put the past behind you? Can you see that he's sad whenever you get mad at him. You should give him a chance at least" said Riku but Oswald didn't say anything. "At this point to where we are at we need everyone to work together otherwise we could endanger more innocent people" Oswald signs and gives him a nod.
"Guys look!!" Mickey shouted
Riku and Oswald turned and saw the Demon Tide again, it attacked Riku but Oswald managed to dodge it. "Riku!!" he shouted. The Demon Tide then came behind Oswald and Mickey saw this, "Oswald look out!!" He then pushed him out of the way and got swallowed by the Demon Tide.
Oswald watched in horror at Mickey, yes he is mad at him but deep down he still cares for him. "Mickey!!" he shouted. Both Oswald and Riku got up and got ready to attack the Demon Tide but it made itself a ball of darkness, they both were confused on what's going on until a shadow figure came out. Mickey also saw this as he was trapped inside of the ball of darkness.
The shadow figure walks towards Mickey's keyblade that he dropped during the Demon Tide attack. It picked it up and finally said "This Keyblade..."
Mickey gasps, "Is it her?"
The shadow figure then reveals itself as Aqua but her appearance is different. Her hair was bleached in lighter blue, her eyes don't have blue one instead they now have yellow. Her outfit changes, her dress has darkened and become more tattered, her arms and legs have also begun to darken and finally her hands are now black with red finger tips. Aqua then turn to him with her yellow pierce eyes "Mickey...you're too late"
"Aqua?" said Riku
'This is Aqua?' Oswald thought 'She looks so...lonely that has every right to be angry...'
"What happened?" Mickey ask
"You abandoned me, that's what. Left me in his shadow prison for more than a decade, knowing what it would do to me..." Aqua explained
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault" said Mickey as he looked down, Oswald saw this and felt sorry for him, then they started to hear more from Aqua as she walked on water.
"I reached this shore after endless wandering. Waited forever for help to arrive. But no one ever came. I lost my keyblade. Had no means of fighting my way back through the Heartless. You should have known I was stranded." What Aqua said made Oswald and Riku feel the same pain as she did. "Do you have any idea how lonely it is here? How frightening is it to have no one?" She then stops and turns "All that's left in my heart is misery and despair..." Aqua then pointed the Star Cluster keyblade at them and shouted "And now you can share it!!"
Before Oswald goes up to Aqua, Riku walks a bit closer to the shore and says "There's no need. Got my own" Oswald looks at Riku confused until Riku pulls out his keyblade getting ready to fight Aqua. He started to walk on water but before he could fight her, he got blocked by the Demon Tide that has Mickey. Oswald then rushed towards Riku's side and summoned his keyblade. "We've gotta save Mickey!!" he said. Riku nodded at him as they got ready to fight the Demon Tide that was right in front of them.
They both rushed towards the Heartless, the Demon Tide made it first attack but both Riku and Oswald blocked it's attack. Then they used fire and thunder magic at it, afterwards they attacked it with its keyblade. Then they both started to use a combo, use magic, then attack it and if it attacks them then block or reflect it. Hopefully this combo works for them to save Mickey.
For awhile the two started to get tired of fighting the Demon Tide, they both started to take a breath for a second until the Heartless started to surrounded them, Riku managed to reflect it but Oswald didn't reflect in time, he got knocked down by it, the Demon Tide was about to finished the lucky rabbit but Riku steps in and block it for Oswald as he slowly gots up. Riku didn't know what to do? What can he do? Mickey is trapped in darkness, Oswald got hurt, there is no match for them in the realm of darkness. Riku couldn't make it back like how Sora wanted to be. "Sora..." he said
Then all of a sudden a bright light from above revealed a door, then Sora dropped down next to Riku and said "I made it!" Riku couldn't help but smile at his friend. They turned to face the Demon Tide and knew what to do now, they combined their keyblade to make a brand new one keyblade together like in the Mark Of Mastery. Then they finished it off Demon Tide in one swing.
Mickey was free and was about to hit the sand but Oswald flew towards him and got him. He flew back down and put Mickey down, Riku rushed over to them but Aqua went for Riku. Oswald saw Aqua and shouted "Behind you!!" Aqua went for a strike and a splash of water appeared between Aqua and Riku. Once the water was gone Sora appeared between the two and protected his friend.
Sora then pushed Aqua away from Riku, he then turned to him and gave him a smile, Riku smiled back at him then asked him "How, Sora?"
Sora then summoned a different keyblade, Master's Defender. "I...had a little help. Watch over the King's. I've got this" Riku nodded and headed towards the two King's but Oswald looked at Sora as he was about to fight Aqua. He can't just sit there and do nothing. Oswald got up and ran towards Sora but passed Riku and said "Watch over Mickey!!" Sora turned beside him and saw Oswald ready to fight alongside him. "Oswald, you can't–"
"Yes I can. I'm not that injured, plus I know Makaylyn wants us to save her. We can do this together" said Oswald, Sora then nodded at him and got his keyblade ready.
When the first began Aqua said "Join me in darkness" and started her first attack by teleporting around the two and tried to attack them but they dodged her attack, then Aqua teleported and used her magic, Oswald dodged while Sora blocked her magic. Sora then started to attack her and Aqua attacked back at him but Oswald managed to block Aqua from attacking Sora, he then used thunder on her and Sora continued to attack her.
Aqua then disappears but hears her voice. "Shouldn't have abandoned me"
"I wander the shadow endlessly"
"I waited so long"
She then uses her magic to make replaces of herself to confuse Sora and Oswald. They both attack the fake Aqua to find the real one, once all of them are gone Aqua uses her magic to attack them but fails to do so.
Aqua teleports around them again while trying to attack them but they keep on blocking and dodging her attacks. Then she was about to use her magic on top of them but Oswald flew up towards her and attacked her, Sora joined him as well.
While they are both attacking Aqua and dodging her attacks, Oswald can tell it's not just Sora fighting her, it was also Ventus trying to save her from the darkness that she is currently in. He wants to save her as well.
Aqua then disappeared again and they heard her voice again to play tricks on them.
"I waited so long"
"Now you can share in terrors"
"Shouldn't have abandoned me"
Aqua tried to use her magic again but they found the real one quickly, and attacked her and used their magic again. Aqua tried to attack them but they kept on blocking the attacks, until she used her special magic by surrounding them with a blizzard and getting close to them but Sora and Oswald managed to roll out that attack and finished Aqua off.
Aqua backs away as she is about to collapse on the water. The darkness in her is slowly going away into the water. She lets go of the Star Cluster then falls backwards into the darkness once again...
...
Aqua was now falling deeper and deeper into the realm of darkness, she then opened her blue eyes and saw a light in the distance, she knew that there's no way she could reach it. "So...this is the end," she whispered to herself and closed her eyes.
As she was losing her hope she heard a voice calling out to her. She opened her eyes and said "Sora" She then reached out and grabbed onto Sora hand.
...
Aqua felt something shining in her eyes, she opened them up to see Terra and Ventus right in front of her but in the background she saw a faded Makaylyn then she disappeared. The two males said her name and Aqua couldn't help but smile "Ven...Terra..." but those weren't actually Ventus and Terra, instead now she is seeing both Sora and Riku.
"Aqua!!" they said her name
Aqua couldn't help but remember the same boys that she met ten years ago. "It's you..."
"Thank goodness. You're awake!" said Mickey, Aqua turned and saw him and Oswald who was helping him stand. She said his name and looked around.
"Are these...the Destiny Island?" She ask
"That's right!" said Mickey
Aqua then sits up straight and asks "When did they fall to darkness?"
Riku smile and slowly shook his head and said "You're in the realm of light"
Aqua gasped a little and couldn't help but shed a tear or two. She was finally rescued, she was finally home. Sora then smile and said "You're home" Aqua then smiled at them as everyone cheered and shouted "You're home"
Then everyone gives Aqua a welcome home hug, they finally rescue Aqua, she is finally home.
