Description
Death surrounds
My heartbeat’s slowing down

*Her friends were dead, blood dripping down their once smiling faces.
With shaking breaths, she stabs her sword deep within the snowy ground then releases a howl of grief. . . They should have been more cautious, why didn't any of them listen to her Mother? Why? It didn't matter now, they were dead. And it was her fault.*

I won’t take this world’s abuse
I won’t give up, I refuse!

*Slowly black shadows coiled into monstrous dog like forms, they were blood thirsty creatures called, Shades. Their snarls and hungry eyes looked upon the beautiful girl. A flash of sterling silver glinted against the shadows of her enemies,"Chaos. . .You will pay.", her enemies fell as their bodies were decapitated and blood sprayed everywhere.*

This is how it feels when you’re bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity’s stolen

*Now, Xemnas outstretched a hand letting the Darkness dart and coil itself around the two sleeping beauties. "Everything will now fall into place." He smirked against the falling rain. His plan was going to be full proof.*

When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in

*Both, Lightning and Asuka struggled against the darkness, but it was too much!
Helplessly they watched their memories disappear then slowly gave into the inevitable.*

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line

*Where was she? How did she end here, leaning against the strong oak of a big cherry tree? "I'm happy that you made lots of friends. . ." That female voice, it was cheery and had a hyperactive sense to it. Her melodic voice felt very familiar. Akari stared at the rain of cherry blossom petals through a veil of her dark brown bangs. The pink sunset made the grove of cherry trees glow brightly in an ethereal beautiful atmosphere. She was at this place again. A very pretty girl around the age of 14 smiled sweetly at the 20 year old female warrior. ". . .And-" She giggled, the cherry blossom hair clip pinned on the side of her head, sparkled, her shoulder length brown hair blew softly in the breeze, as her vibrant pink eyes lit up with delight. "-And the person who wants to see your smile the most. . .Is still waiting for you." The cherry blossoms flew in the wind, ending the illusion. "Saya." Tears ran down the young woman's rosy cheeks, "What do you mean?" She walked across the icy path and the sword strapped to her side glittered against the flurry of snowflakes.*

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever

*The Warrior of Light slashed his sword against the army Manikins*

(Don’t close your eyes)

*When they surrounded him the ethereal Goddess unleashed her attack*

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together

*The rest of her warriors fought valiantly against Chaos's warriors.*

No,

*Kain*

*Tifa*

we’re

*Laguna*

not

*Vaan*

gonna die

*Asuka*

*Lightning*

tonight

*Akari raises her sword, near her face, the blade shining in the light as she prepares for battle. Her luminous blue eyes are hardened while she had a determined look.*

*Aqua swings her keyblade down on the manikins and Heartless. Her lithe body fluidly dodges their attacks as she spins around killing them. Water droplets shimmer off of her keyblade as the dancer, dances across the battlefield in an elegant display of attacks. "Guys, I'm coming." She muttered to herself, hoping Lightning and the others were okay.*

Break their hold
'Cause I won’t be controlled

*Sumbith and Renox disappear into a bright light to reveal a new person named Nero.
Nero fights and kills heartless as well as the Manikins in deadly moves.*

They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free

*He knelt in front of the Goddess kissing her hand and pledging to protect her at all costs.*

This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back

*Garland swings his blade trying to hurt the Cosmos Warrior he was currently fighting.*
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger

*Kero dodges and clashes blades with Garland then lands a string of attacks.*

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line

*In Dream's End, Hanami views the memories that flooded back to her, "Asuka. . . .Where are you?" She places a hand over her heart, finding comfort in the many pyreflies that came from their home world. Suddenly a figure appeared, "Hm?" Hanami walked closer to the person and gasped. Flowing hair longer than it used to be, blew in a gentle breeze. It had to be her! "Asuka!" Hanami ran up to the older girl wrapping her tightly around her dearest sister. Asuka wriggled out of her grasp and withdrew her sheathed sword. "Whose Asuka?" Hanami was taken aback, "Y-You are! Asuka it's me Hanami. Remember?" Asuka glared at her, there was something strange with her eyes, they had a strange glow to them. "I don't know anyone by that name. Now lift up your blade, Warrior of Cosmos."*

No, not gonna die tonight
We’re gonna stand and fight forever

*Asuka swung her blade and performed magical attacks with the intent to kill as Hanami dodged and did similar attacks.*

(Don’t close your eyes)

*Suddenly her aunt Yuna's Aeons appeared protecting Hanami, "No!" she watched them fire powerful elemental attacks before her eyes.*
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we’re not gonna die tonight

*Asuka had cast an ice shield around herself then unleashed her own attack injuring the aeons. As their bodies faded Asuka glided to where Hanami was and harshly clashed her blade against her opponent's. Finally everything had become clear, and she no longer had memory loss, Yuna needed to find her daughter in this strange world.*

Don’t you give up on me

*"Light! Please remember me. You have to!" Lightning's blue eyes seemed to glow as well for she was under Chaos's control. "I don't have to do anything!" Jumping in the air, she cast thunder down upon the Warrior of Cosmos. Snow had his work cut out for him.*

You’re everything I need

*"Light, I'm sorry. . .Sorry for being such an idiot!" Snow duck his head and managed to land a few blows, defending himself. "I should've known earlier on, how I felt about you." What the hell, was this guy talking about? Lightning sliced up his body, "I never loved Serah the way I thought I did. . .The truth is. . .I love you and always have." Snow silenced beautiful warrior that he always believed she was, with a sweet and forbidden kiss. "S-Snow?" For a second the real Lightning was back, her ice blue eyes stared at him with a mixture of confusion and underlying happiness. "Snow." Lightning pushed him away, and held her chest. "Light? Tell me what's going on." Snow tried approaching her, but she shouted for him to stay back. "I don't deserve someone like you." was what her face pained expression told him. "Light." Snow took a step forward desperately wanting to save the princess who had been right in front of him all along. It frustrated him not knowing how. "Warrior of Cosmos." Her voice became darker than before, "You will die, by my blade." She glared at him with so much hatred that it made his heart ache. "I promise. . .I will save you from this. Light!" Snow charged at her not holding back this time.*

*"Cloud!" Aerith smiled when he took her hand like old times then was about to aid him in battle, when manikins snuck up on the beautiful Cetra from behind. "Aerith!" Cloud slashed them away and took her in his arms. "Please go find a safe place to hide. Maybe Kain or Akari can help escort you somewhere." Aerith sighed, he was unbelievable sometimes! "I'm not running," Aerith held his hand and smiled sweetly at his concerned face, "I'm staying by your side whether you want me to or not." Cloud smiled, cupping her face and running a thumb across his angel's face. "I know you can handle yourself, but I still worry." That comment earned him a light giggle, "If I am in real danger, I know you'll be there to protect me. Save your worrying when the real crisis comes." Cloud nodded and led his princess away underneath a veil of glittering stars twinkling in the night sky.*

This is how it feels when you take your life back

*In another realm two powerful beings watched the events took place through shards of crystal floating within part of the realm. "It's almost over." Yuko opened her bewitching eyes and silently challenged Fai Wong Reed on what he planned to do next. He was losing and she knew it.*

This is how it feels when you

*Chaos slowly walked across the clear water that belonged to Cosmos's throne determined to end this senseless feud between the two Gods.*

fight

*Cosmos appeared in brilliant bright light, her beautiful image glared angrily back at the God Chaos. He wasn't going to take the only thing she treasured the most within every cycle. Her beloved only daughter.*

back

*Akari spun around deflecting an enemy's attack, her sapphire blue eyes glared with the same anger the Goddess showed Chaos.*

No, not gonna die tonight
We’re gonna stand and fight forever

*The warriors on both sides fought each other, harder than any battle they did before.*

(Don’t close your eyes)

*"Yuna!" Yuna paused hearing her lover's voice, a flash rushed behind her, as Yakumo protected her from another swarm of Manikin's.*

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together

*Yuna smiled placing a hand on her husband's arm in reassurance that she was alright. His strength, gave her hope that maybe they could win this fight after all.*

No, we’re not gonna die tonight

*When the fighting ceased, Kero walked down the line nodding at the warriors that were going to help him end this. He squeezed Hanami's hand briefly and released his hold.. . and then nodded at the Warrior of Light.*

No, we’re not gonna die tonight

*Sora slowly walked up to the former wielder who once held the Kingdom Key before it was passed onto him. "Ready?" Kero smiled back at Sora and clasped the kid's outstretched hand. Kairi and Riku stood off to the side smiling as well as Ven, Aqua, and Terra. "Let's end this together." Kero shook Sora's hand. Kero turned away leading his small army to face off against the God of Chaos, and most importantly, Xemnas himself. `Everything ends right here.` He thought holding Hanami's hand.*

Not gonna die

*The witch saw everything before it ever happened inside a dream.
Asuka laughed evilly thirsting for the warrior's blood in front of her.
Hanami called her name as tears run down her cheeks, wishing for sister to come back!
Yuna and Yakumo's hearts break watching their daughter go insane and knowing they could do nothing about it.*

(Not gonna die)

Tears trailed down Watanuki's cheeks inside the wishing shop, he tightens a fist while he presses himself against a wall. "Asuka. . Come back. . .Please!" Black Mokona sensed Asuka's sorrow underneath her madness and wished there was something they could do. Time apart from Asuka had torn them both apart. Her light's absence had hit Watanuki harder the most. Somewhere in another world, White Mokona was mourning Asuka's 'death' too quietly she wept for her lost friend as Syouran and the others slept.*

*Yuko could feel them all. Asuka, Watanuki, and the Mokona pair. Each struggling with their sorrow and it pained her own heart for she had always loved them. She didn't know when Asuka and Watanuki crossed the line as mere servants and became something much more than that. `They became. . .My children.` Yuko hid her thoughts well from the enemy.

"Yuko! Don't!" Fei Wang Reed shouted, no he wouldn't let her! Summoning all of his magic the foolish man couldn't accept defeat. He unleashed his power upon the witch and was shocked to see he couldn't stop her. "Don't disappear!" A plea from his lips fell on deaf ears. Magic from Yuko destroyed the place they were in and her hair whipped about her face in a lazy breeze. Yuko's body slowly faded away followed by a burst of magic angering the wizard. "The dream has ended." Yuko's voice faded away, uttering the last words she would ever speak again. A rush of sadness and a sense of loss overcame Asuka, Watanuki, and all who was close to the witch for she was completely gone.*

Not gonna die

*Lightning smirks evilly watching the warrior of Cosmos turn into crystal. Snow screams as his body becomes trapped within the crystal.*

(Not gonna die)

*"Snow!" Serah cries as she tries to help him, but Noel pulls her back from the battlefield. Snow's body breaks away into millions of shards right before Lightning's eyes. Serah hugs Noel and buries her head into the crook of his neck hiding her tears. "I'm sorry." Noel murmurs into her ear, trying to comfort her.*

Not gonna die tonight

*Akari marches away from Cosmos determined to finally end this viscous cycle.
The blue gem around her neck sparkles as she walks onwards across the clear water.
Cosmos closes her eyes wishing her daughter good luck.*
