Kairi’s Epic Journey: The Quest for Sora

Chapter 2: Guilt Revealed

Land of Departure, One Month Ago

Kairi ran toward the area where the Gummi Ships were parked. Since the Keyblade War, she had learned how to pilot them. And right now, she needed to get as far away as possible from the Land of Departure.

Heading for the Gummi Ship that belonged to her and Riku, she headed for the door and entered the security code to open it. But before she could enter, she heard a voice call, “Kairi! Wait!”

She stopped in the doorway and turned to see Riku, Donald and Goofy running toward her. They gave desperate looks of imploring to her.

“I have nothing to say to you, Riku. Not to any of you.”

“Come back, Kairi. I know you didn’t mean to say those things. Just apologize and then we can talk about it some more,” said Riku.

“Apologize? For what? Not wanting to give up on finding our best friend just because everyone else wants to? I don’t think so,” said Kairi.

“We don’t know what everyone’s stance is on this. We didn’t hear everyone’s opinion,” said Donald.

“They weren’t exactly leaping to my defense either or believing me when I said I felt him out there. I could see it in their eyes. Everyone but me is giving up on him and that is unforgivable,” retorted Kairi.

“It’s not easy for us to do this, Kairi. We don’t want to give up on him either. Sora’s one of our best friends. It’s just that there’s other things that need to be taken care of. Terra, Aqua, and Ven need to pretty much start their lives over now since they’ve been gone for a long time,” said Goofy.

“Axel too. And Roxas, Xion and Naminè need to adjust to finally being able to have lives of their own,” said Riku.

“And we have families and loved ones back at Disney Castle that we haven’t seen for a long time,” said Donald.

“You can’t blame them for that,” said Riku.

“Normally I wouldn’t. But not when it means that you’re all going to go on with your lives and leave Sora all alone wherever he is.”

“Kairi, please. After six months with nothing to go on, we may have to be realistic and stop hoping for what may be the impossible,” said Riku although there was hesitance in his voice.

“Realistic? If Sora had that attitude, he never would have done the greatest things he ever did. Like when you were hiding from him when you were stuck in the form of Ansem. Sora would’ve gone through every world out there looking for you even though he had no real idea where to start. And you and the others can’t even do the same.”

Kairi turned around to lean against the doorframe. The tears began to drip faster.

“Don’t you see, Riku? I’ve got to get him back. It’s the only way to make it up to him.”

Donald and Goofy were confused. Riku, however, was struck with horror. ‘Oh no. Please not this.’

“What do you mean ‘make it up to him’?” asked Donald.

“What do I mean? I’ll tell you what I mean! My best friend, who means more to me than anything in the world, is gone and it was my fault!”

Riku, Donald and Goofy looked shocked at Kairi’s last statement. “Kairi, what are you talkin’ about? It wasn’t…” began Goofy before Kairi interrupted.

“Yes it was, Goofy!” she screamed before continuing in a calmer voice but one that was still riddled with pain and hurt.

“’The fire that feeds Sora’s anger.’ That’s what Isa, when he was Saïx, called me when I was being held in the Organization’s dungeon. I hated the fact that they were using me to force Sora into doing what they wanted. Then when Riku gave me my Keyblade, I thought that this was my chance. A chance to be more than someone who needed to be rescued all the time. I wanted to be someone who Sora would be proud to have stand by his side and count on to keep him safe. And then what happens? I get kidnapped again and then a madman murders me to give Sora ‘motivation’. Then when he comes to save me and I think everything is going to be okay, he has to trade his own life so I could come back to an unbearable life without him. So that’s it. Sora’s gone and it’s all my fault,” said Kairi.

Riku, Donald and Goofy were absolutely stunned. Throughout the months of Sora’s absence, Kairi had not once indicated that she was feeling guilt over what happened. She had appeared to be okay. But now it appeared that she had been simply putting on a brave front to hide how she was really feeling.

'All that extra training and studying and throughout it all, seeming to be completely alright. How could I not have seen through it all when I feared she would blame herself?' thought Riku.

Kairi held up her hand and summoned Destiny’s Embrace. “You know, I wish these things had never come to us and we wouldn’t have gotten involved at all. That way, Sora would still be with us.”

Kairi then tossed away her Keyblade and it landed at the feet of Riku, Donald and Goofy. They gazed sadly at it before it disappeared.

“Kairi, I…” began Riku.

“Just leave me alone, Riku. If I’m the only one who’s willing to keep hoping for Sora’s return, then I don’t want anything to do with any of you. So tell Master Yen Sid that he’s got one less Keyblade Wielder to worry about because I am out for good.”

Kairi then entered the Gummi Ship and the door closed behind her. Once she entered the cockpit, she began the takeoff sequence and the Gummi Ship took off. Through her teary eyes, she gave a look of contempt to the Land of Departure down below.

‘They may be able to move on with their lives without him. But I can’t and I won’t.’

________________________________________________________________

Destiny Islands, Present Day

(In-Universe Music: Don't Think Twice by Utada Hikaru playing on Kairi’s Gummi Phone)

The song on the Gummi Phone played on while Kairi continued to paint as Pluto watched her. While she worked, she mulled over the thoughts of those final moments with her friends. She wasn’t even sure she could call them that anymore. Having spent the last month not only feeling guilty for what happened to Sora but for lashing out at her friends like that, there had been times when she considered calling them and apologizing. But until they admitted their own wrongs, she would withhold that apology.

Some of them had made attempts to talk to her over the last month either in person or through the Gummi Phone. But the moment the conversation turned to the subject of moving on, she would immediately dismiss them. Eventually, the attempts ceased.

Finally, she stopped painting. She stepped backwards and beheld the now completed woodcarving.

It depicted a young man with spiky brown hair dressed in a black outfit with a young woman with red hair dressed in a pink outfit. They were gazing into each other’s eyes and were holding each other’s hands. A sunrise was behind them and a heart shape framed the picture.

“Well, Pluto, what do you think? Did I do a good job?”

The dog walked up to her side. He gave a look as if he was trying to comprehend what was in front of him. Finally, he gave a happy look and a happy bark.

In spite of herself, Kairi allowed a small giggle as she scratched the dog on his head. Though Mickey was not currently among her favorite people, she was grateful to him for sending Pluto to stay with her. He was a very good listener, a great comforter and he never told her what to do or how to feel.

“Do you think Sora will like it?”

Pluto once again barked in affirmative.

“I hope so too. I started this to help keep my hope alive. That he’d come back and then we would have so many moments like this,” said Kairi before she fell to her knees sobbing. She put her right arm around Pluto. He nuzzled against her.

Wiping away her tears, she rose up and took off the smock. “Come on. I still need to write my letter and then we can go home.”

After gathering up the paints, she then reached for the Gummi Phone. But then she stopped. Since her work was done and she wasn’t speaking to her friends, she really had no use for it anymore. So, she left it where it was.

She then walked out of the Secret Place with Pluto following close behind. Before leaving completely, she glanced one more time at her work.

It may have started as a hope for the future. But, if she was being completely honest with herself, it may as well be a wish that would never come true.

Left behind, the Gummi Phone finished its song.

ok so, it’s been a day, i think i’m ready to collect my thoughts on KH3

where to begin....the plot I guess?

So what....even happened. like, Xehanort seems to have done a change on why he’s doing all this, but i’ve seen examples that it’s not far-fetched but idk it just seems like poor writing if “i love darkness” xehanort was really trying to bring back the light...there’s stuff that never got explained with so many characters too so i’ll just

sora: him hiding his pain was always implied but a lot of people really are too dumb to realize that and called him OoC in this game, like Coded and DDD were leading up to all this. I joked that he died but then it turns out he really did fucking die. and then he died again to bring back kairi. and now he’s in shibuya??? do i gotta play twewy now cause i dont care about that game

riku: why did they not let him interact with kairi. why. their relationship got shafted hard. its like, are they even really friends anyway? or just with sora? the soriku in this game was strong af despite being the one where sokai was made canon

kairi: GOD WHERE DO I BEGIN Kairi I’m so fucking sorry Nomura did all this shit to you. Hype you up with keyblade training. helping with the final battle. then what happened? needing rescue, everyone getting hurt because you need saving. getting your ass beat by xion (at least in my game, jfc she died faster than donald ever did), getting kidnapped immediately after, again. then GETTING KILLED BY XEHANORT SO SORA CAN HAVE HIS MAN PAIN then having Sora die so he could bring Kairi back so she can cry about being lonely. why the FUCK isn’t she the one looking for him, why are they having Riku do it? why does nomura fucking hate her. she deserves better than this. i’ll never be over this even if Kairi gets redeemed in every subsequent game. they fucked up real bad with her and I’m so fucking pissed off.

roxas: my boy. where is the convo about him and ven. we just saw them notice each other but no words exchanged. this is the guy who’s been having an identity crisis since he was born. and nothing at all? come on.

xion: my girl her new outfit is so gosh darn f r e s h like damn son. but, why is she back? why was she with the orgxiii? how did they even get her when she was inside sora’s heart???

lea: i still dont like him. he kidnapped kairi and hurt her friends and he makes kairi call him axel, the name he had when he did all that, so he could project his faded memories of xion onto her. he was abusive to xion and roxas, i knew they were gonna reunite because they’re friends but he NEEDS to apologize for what he did to them, the constant lying, attacking xion because she ran away from her abusive situation because he didn’t want to be lonely, and the writers turned his threat into a heartwarming scene? no fuck that. everyone forgave him for everything far too easily.

isa: APOLOGIZE TO ROXAS AND XION TOO YOU FUCK. especially xion. now he’s suddenly friends with them? fuck that. he needs to make up for how he treated them.

x: it would’ve been great if they had brought her up in days, it just comes so out of left field that isa and lea were trying to find and save some girl who’s name they dont even know. why the fuck is Skuld even in the present, cause that’s likely who she is. more forced ties to the money hungry gacha game i can’t bear myself to leave.

ven: my son, i have nothing bad to say about him

terra: my son, i’m surprised the guardian = terra’s heartless theory was true, and like damn, he got messed up so bad his heart, body AND soul/mind got split? but, where was his interactions with riku. he did bequeath his keyblade to him. but nothing is said between them, they don’t even interact outside of a small race in the ending.

aqua: why do people say they wrote her bad? i mean yeah she just immediately gave up against the heartless swarm instead of fighting it but she was trapped in the realm of darkness and taken over by the darkness for 10 years like just a few hours before hand.....she still got off pretty good in the end.

namine: i swear i was worried they forgot about her, she helped LW find terranort which brought terra back, and she came back. that ending? she and xion are def dating.

replica riku: replinami is fucking canon i dont care what you say. im still sad, he could’ve had the replica body anyway, it was implied there were many more, and even could’ve just made more. roxas and ven, and kairi/namine/xion can exist despite being identical, why can’t he and riku?

demyx: what the hell even happened to him? he dropped off the replica body and ansem the wise then disappeared from the rest of the game. we legit have no clue what happened to him. all we know is that he got benched from the nort 13, then xemnas confirmed he was also a keykid in the age of fairytales, but even khux hasn’t revealed that yet, larxene just got revealed like 2 months ago. i feel like him being revealed as a keykid should have jossed the theory of him being the master of masters but people still going at it. then again....(far below)

luxord: also a keykid even though he looks too old (prob the beard), his characterization seems to be in line with days, how he resigned to his fate that he was just gonna serve the org til the end because he had nothing left. also what the hell was that “wild card” he gave to sora, it never got brought up again.

marluxia: he also forgot his past like them all too, only remembering when sora beat him. i’m guessing he’ll never find strelitzia, she was in the final world too so she’s def dead. although namine was there too.....

larxene: god i love this absolute bitch. saying “ugh xemnas” to his face is such bad bitch energy. all of her scenes were so good. she only went along because of marluxia though....and yet neither of them remembered their past as keykids but stuck together anyway. they’re canon hush.

ienzo: what a good boy. he’s really trying hard to atone.

vexen: i’ll admit i didn’t trust him, but he was sincere in wanting to repent.

aeleus/dilan: lmao the former got like 1 line and the latter got like 1 grunt and nothing else. they were just kinda there. weird considering what Xaldin was like in 2/days.

ansem sod: uh.....what was with the attempted redemption in his defeat, literally nothing ever implied he was wanting to quit because he suddenly always knew they would fail

xemnas: same as ansem, literally nothing implied he was sad over being lonely because nobody actually liked him or his authority

young xehanort: imagined getting burned by freakin woody of all people. also what was his deal. he’s like the only one who didn’t get some kind of sad or redeeming cutscene. and he was the one who implied sora would die if he abused the power of waking outta nowhere. idk, something about him seemed off compared to like. every other nort.

donald and goofy: donald straight up decimated Terranort in the first/failure timeline, like dude literally died from zettaflare

Mickey: I wish he had died instead of Kairi :/ just because she was already being treated like shit

Eraqus: He apologized to Aqua and Ven but not Terra :/ at least he’s with his boyfriend in the afterlife

Xehanort: All the fights were easy as shit and the finale was anticlimatic. I actually like him less because of the fucking Kairi bullshit. Also his new VA just doesn’t work. He suddenly has an accent, his voice is nowhere near as deep and he lacks emotion in most of his lines. And people thought Terra and Aqua’s voices were emotionless? At least Xehaqus is canon ig

braig/xigbar/luxu’s getting his own post
