Spike The Keyblade Master
10: The Keyhole of Traverse Town
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter Spike and everyone had that sudden encounter with Riku, they all started heading back to the First District to see what Cid knows about the Gummi Piece they have. They were all surprised Riku was able alright after what Sora described to them after what happened on his island, but what's important to them is that he's okay, and wherever he is now, they just hope they can talk things out with him at one point.
Spike's still had a lot to think about since he started this adventure with Sora, Donald and Goofy, there was so much at stake here with the Heartless invading other worlds, they appeared in Equestria too before he left, and the thought of it just made him worried whether or not his friends will be able to stop them, Spike's only seen a small bit of the worlds and heartless out there, but with how much more there is to come, he just hopes his home will do find without him.
Spike and the others soon made it back to the First District again after a bit of walking, they've gotten used to going around this world by now, and with Cid's shop right at the center, they hoped he had some answers on this Gummi Piece.
They all soon entered the shop again and saw Cid was still at the front desk like before, he noticed them come into the store again and was wondering what they're here for again.
"Back again huh? You find anything important from Leon?" Cid asked as they came up to him to talk about this.
"We got some more info on what the Heartless are and how the worlds disappear, it's only motivated us to keep things up and find those keyholes that are hidden, but there's something else we'd like to talk about if you don't mind." Spike replied which got him interested.
"And what would that be?" Cid asked as Sora reached into his pocket for a moment, he pulled out the Gummi block's they've found before that could be important and set it on the desk hoping he'd know something about them.
"We found these when we were out across different worlds, Leon said that you may know something about it." Sora said as Cid looked very surprised seeing them in front of him.
"Well I'll be! I haven't seen these rare pieces in some time!" Cid said with surprise as he inspected them closer.
"What are these ones for?" Donald asked curiously which made Cid surprised seeing they don't know about it.
"Your kidding. Your flying on a Gummi ship and don't know about navigation gummi's? Bunch of pinheads, interspace isn't just a playground for you." Cid said with an annoyed look which made Spike raise his hands in defense.
"To make it clear, Sora and I are still new to this whole world traveling thing, if anything I'm surprised Donald and Goofy don't know much about them considering they do this very often." Spike said in defense while looking at Goofy who rubbed his head a bit.
"Sorry Spike, some of this is still new to us too." Goofy replied which Sora could understand and tried getting back to topic.
"Anyway.. since you know about these pieces, we were hoping if you could install this on our ship please?" Sora requested with a hopeful look which Cid didn't seem too bothered about.
"Don't worry, it's no hard feelings. I'll be glad to lend ya a hand. To put it simply, navigation Gummies like these can help one travel even further to new places, you'll need this to head further out right?" Cid asked which made the other's nod in response.
"Yes please." Spike said politely which Cid could understand fully now.
"Alright, I'll install it for you, but if you don't mind, there's something I need to be returned." Cid said as he was going to pull out something just below the desk.
"What is it?" Sora asked as Cid came back up and put down a very old, worn down looking book that was barely holding itself together, Spike was able to notice some of it's pages were missing which was concerning.
"Just this book, an old man came to me one day hoping I'd be able to fix it, haven't seen him since, but I did what I could to put it back together. If you happen to run into a guy who's into books or something like that, he may recognize it. Heard he's living in the old house past the Third District, so it shouldn't be much of a chore for you right?" Cid asked as Spike took it and had an idea on who he was talking about.
"Don't worry, we'll get this thing delivered. I think we know who your talking about, thanks." Spike said gratefully as he put it away for now so they could wrap this talk up. But just before they could speak again, they heard a loud rumble around the town, along with a loud bell ring that sounded familiar.
"What was that?" Sora asked with a bit of fear at how loud that was, thinking it was a Heartless or something.
"Must be the bell at the gizmo shop again, I recommend checking it out to see what you can find, but mind delivering that book first? When your done, stop by the small house in the Third District, I'll be there with Leon and the others, just be careful out there fellas." Cid advised which they understood and began to leave again to find Merlin.
"Don't worry, we will, thanks a ton for the help Cid! We'll get this delivered first!" Spike said as they opened the shop doors and began to leave.
"Your welcome!" Cid said just as the doors closed and they were leaving to Merlin's house again, and Spike did find it a bit annoying as it felt like constant backtracking.
"So, you think Merlin knows what this book is?" Spike asked as he looked at it and saw just how old and damaged it was.
"I think he will, but we won't know by standing around here, come on, he's not too far from here." Donald advised while he was making his way to the door to the Third District which was opened up recently.
"Here we go again." Sora said as he shook his head before all of them started to make they're way back to Merlin's place.
They spent a bit making they're way back to Merlin's house knowing how risky it can be when moving around the town, they had very little heartless to fight right now which was a good thing since it didn't waste more time then they needed too. This book they have feels different then the other's Spike's seen before, and Sora seems to feel something strange about it too, maybe with a little help from Merlin, they'll find it out soon enough.
And it didn't take long for them to make it back to Merlin's house again after making they're way across the area leading to it again, it wasn't so hard for them at all with how much they've passed through before, and soon enough, they all entered Merlin's house again hoping he'd know what this book is.
Everyone moved past some of the blankets and sheet's used for the door of the place, and soon saw Merlin in his room again while studying a few more books, he was a very interesting person to say the least, and something tells him he and Twilight would get along greatly.
"Merlin." Spike greeted which shocked him a bit before he suddenly turned and saw they had come back again.
"Oh! I didn't expect you there! Back so soon you four?" Merlin asked with surprise as they came up to him to deliver the book.
"Yeah, sorry for coming back so soon, but there was something we have for you that may be interesting." Sora replied as he and Spike looked at eachother and nodded.
"Oh? And what would that be?" Merlin asked as Spike pulled out the book Cid gave them and showed it to him.
"This old book that our friend Cid gave us, said that you gave it to him some time ago to see if it could be prepared, while it's still really damaged, he did what he could to repair it, hope that this is okay." Spike said as Merlin took the book and was surprised to see it again.
"Well I haven't seen this book in quite some time! I've still been trying to figure what it is myself, I found it torn apart really roughly a long time ago, it's not really mine, it appeared in my bag suddenly one day, but as much as I've tried restoring it myself, I wasn't able too unfortunately. I'm glad Cid was at least able to put it back together for most of it." Merlin replied as he walked over to an old desk and placed it on there for a later point.
"It wasn't much trouble Merlin, but I'm still wondering why? What book is it that made it get so damaged?" Sora asked as Merlin walked back up to them.
"I'm not entirely sure myself, but I have noticed some of it's pages are missing, I'm sure if you find them across the worlds, it will be able to restore itself overtime, and maybe with your and Spike's help, it could finally find a way to be fully healed again.." Merlin suggested which got the two of them interested.
"You think it was because of the Heartless the book was like this in the first place?" Spike questioned thinking that could be the reason.
"It's most likely, but until we know for sure, just be sure to keep an eye out for any pages when your out there, when you've found them all, we'll try our best to restore the book." Merlin instructed which they all understood.
"That sounds simple enough, how hard could finding book pages be?" Donald asked not looking too concerned about it which made Spike role his eyes.
"Fetch quests are harder then they sound at times Donald." Spike replied as they turned back to Merlin again for anything else.
"I thank you for bringing the book back to me, send Cid my best regards when you see him again please." Merlin thanked which they were glad to hear from him.
"It wasn't any trouble Merlin, come on guys, let's head back to the Third District again, I saw a house that may be the one Cid was talking about." Sora said as they started to leave again to head there.
"Thanks for the help Merlin! See you soon!" Spike said as they all left the room with him waving goodbye.
Everyone soon left Merlin's house again and started heading back to the Third District, they were still surprised with that sudden encounter with Riku they had just some time ago, and as much as they wondered where he went off to, they have much more important stuff to get too.
Spike's still had a lot on his mind with all that's happening, with how much stronger he's getting with his Keyblades and growing skills with magic, he's still concerned about what that dark power that came from him was, he felt his anger build up to the point it just happened so suddenly, and if this power ties into his anger in some way, Spike needs to do his best to avoid it.
Soon enough, everyone made it to the Third District again and tried finding the house Cid mentioned, Spike looked near the stairs that led to the 2nd District, and they could see a light inside a small building not too far away.
"I think this is the place guys." Spike said as they all made they're way to it.
"That didn't take too long, glad we got that done with though, you think we'll be able to find those pages soon to find out what's with that book?" Sora questioned as he still wondered what it was for specifically.
"I hope so, I think there's something special about it, but we won't know until we find the pages, for now, let's just get things finished up here and start trying to find out where to go next alright?" Spike asked which the others agreed with.
"No complaints here." Donald replied as he went in front of them and opened up the door.
The door opened up and they all walked into the small house that they were said to go to, and like Cid said, they saw him waiting for them with Aerith, Leon, and Yuffie all at once, they smiled as they saw them come into the room, and Spike just felt glad to see them here in one place.
"Hey guys! How have things been going?" Yuffie asked as they walked up to them to talk with them.
"We're doing good, we managed to deliver that book you gave us Cid, there's apparently some missing pages from it that may be the reason why it's so torn up, but we'll be sure to look for them when we're in new worlds." Sora replied which Cid was glad to hear about.
"Thanks for doing that, just glad that there'll be a way to help the thing at least." Cid replied while he was looking a bit concerned over something.
"We're just glad you've been handling yourselves out there, with all the heartless there's been, it's really great seeing your all okay." Aerith said with relief which they were glad about too.
"It hasn't been much trouble honestly, aside from a few larger ones here and there, we haven't really encountered too many here." Spike replied as he recalled the small number they've seen here.
"For now maybe, but don't get too cocky, heard that the witch Maleficent is in town, and if that's true, things could get dicey for us if we encounter her." Cid said with concern which confused the others hearing it.
"Who's Maleficent?" Spike asked with worry as that name already gave him a bad feeling.
"She's a witch! And a freaky one at that!" Cid said in a dramatic way while Leon looked towards them for more info.
"She's the reason this town is full of Heartless, do not take her lightly." Leon warned which was concerning to hear.
"She's been using them for years, and it's because of her that our world was lost to the Heartless." Aerith said with regret for what's happened to it.
"One day, a swarm of Heartless came and took over our world" Cid continued on while they kept listening.
"And it was nine years ago when this happened." Leon added which made Spike look very surprised hearing it.
"Nine years!? The Heartless have been causing trouble for that long?!" Spike asked with shock hearing that.
"Even longer then that, I barely got out of there and soon met up with these guys, but still, what happened to our world is something we'll never forget.." Cid said with guilt for it's loss which they all felt awful over hearing.
"That's horrible! You've been in this world for that long?" Donald asked with regret for what's happened with them.
"Unfortunately so. Our world was one of the more interesting ones out there, it was ruled by a wise man named Ansem, who had dedicated his life into studying the Heartless. We've already told you about the report he made, and that it's crucial to finding out how to defeat the Heartless." Leon explained some more while crossing his arms.
"With how much he knew about them, the report he made should be able to help us find out how to get rid of the Heartless for good." Cid finished which made Sora curious about it.
"So where is it?" Sora asked again which made them shake they're heads.
"We've said it before, we don't know, it's pages were scattered over to many different worlds, and if our guesses our correct, then it's likely some of the bigger threats to them hold it." Leon replied hoping that may be the case.
"If anything, we're sure Maleficent has most, if not all of the pages by now. It's sick thinking about what she could be doing with them.." Cid said with a disgusted look at the thought of it.
"So if she's got that report.. she could be using the Heartless in ways we don't know.." Spike thought to himself while they kept on talking about what's been happening.
But as all of this was going on, Maleficent was just outside of the house looking through the window, watching over this talk they're having, but what was most concerning of all.. is that Riku was right next to her, and he looked upset over the sight in front of him.
"You see? It's just like I told you, the friend you've been trying to find has only replaced you with newer companions, one who can use the Keyblades just like him. And with all they've been doing, He most likely value's them far more then he did for you." Maleficent said mockingly while Riku looked really upset at hearing this, he went through a lot of trouble trying to find him, and to see this here just made him rethink over so much..
"Your better off without that boy in the first place, he has a new best friend now, but think no more of either of them, and come with me, I'll help you find what your searching for." Maleficent said sinisterly while Riku was looking directly through the window without them noticing.
"What about that dragon Sora's with? Spike. He can use the Keyblade too, but why is it that I feel something different about him?" Riku asked as he felt something strange about him when they met a bit ago.
"That's most likely the darkness within him, he was able to briefly use it within one of the worlds he recently went too, but even with what he knows now, it's only a matter of time before he falls into the darkness like everything else will. But unlike him, you'll be able to use it far better then him. If you come with me, you will see how much more reliable it really is." Maleficent said as Riku thought over it, and after much consideration.. he came to his decision..
Back within the house, they hadn't noticed the two talking before they vanished through a dark portal, and they were just finishing up this talk to find out what to do next.
"Well I just have to say thanks for returning that book, I took care of installing that Gummi Piece, it should help you find new worlds, if you see anymore, bring em to me and I'll install them. I even threw in a warp gummi for the heck of it, it'll let you warp to other worlds that you've already been too instantly, should come in handy for you all when going to different worlds. " Cid explained which was really great for them to hear.
"Thanks a ton Cid, there's still some things we need to do here first before leaving, we're gonna check out that Gizmo shop you told us about and see what's with that bell at the top, it may hold an important secret hopefully." Spike said gratefully as they felt something off when going near that place.
"Good idea on you kid, if you need to see me again, I'll be in the First District working on my real job now, just be careful when your out there." Cid advised again as Aerith looked at them with a look of interest.
"That bell in the Second District, we've heard some strange legends about it, we think it's a good idea that you check it out." Aerith said as they've heard strange things about it.
"Who knows? Maybe you'll find the Keyhole in this world from it! Bet you guys that's exactly what's behind it!" Yuffie said with a gleeful look which made the others shake they're heads.
"Whatever's behind there, heard if you ring it 3 times, something interesting should happen, keep that in mind when you go to see it." Cid instructed as clearly as he could.
"Sounds easy enough, thanks a ton for the help guys, we'll make sure the Heartless pay for what they've done to your home, count on that." Spike promised as they started to leave to find out what's with that bell.
"Just don't push yourselves too hard! Be careful out there!" Cid shouted one last time as they opened the doors and left while Leon and the others hoped they'll be alright.
Spike and the group soon walked out of the house and looked at eachother and got the same idea, if what they said about that bell was true, then it's best they check it out.
"Well, you heard them, wanna see what's up with that bell before we leave?" Spike asked hoping they were wanting to see it.
"Of course Spike, it shouldn't take too long, once that's over, it's off to more worlds!" Donald said as he pointed at the sky while Goofy chuckled hearing that.
"It sure is exciting wondering what more worlds there are out there huh?" Goofy asked with a smile which they agreed with.
"It really is, I still can't believe I'm getting to see so many worlds with you guys! It's always been my dream to see what more there is out there besides my island." Sora said with a smile as they walked through the place to the 2nd district.
"Tell me about it, I'm still trying to get used to fighting with the Keyblades I have, and when I'm alongside you guys, it really feels like we're going on a grand adventure!" Spike said with an excited look as he summoned his fire keyblade again to inspect it again.
"I know, and to think we're only getting started with things, it may seem easy for us now, but I'm sure the longer we go out there, the more worlds we'll find that are even tougher, but it's not like that will put us down, right guys?" Sora asked everyone who all laughed hearing that.
"Absolutely! Man it's great to be doing something like this! You guys ready to find out what's with that bell now?" Spike asked hoping they can find out soon.
"Of course, come on guys!" Sora said as he waved his hand forward while he ran along with them towards the Gizmo shop, with what they've heard about it, they may be in for a very interesting surprise there.
After they got all they need to know from they're friends, they headed towards the 2nd District to see what's going on with the bell, it was at the top of the Gizmo shop like they've seen it before, only now that they know there's more to it then they first thought, they all made they're way up to it to see what's going on.
They walked through the Gizmo shop and saw just how many machine parts were being used to help make it work, it was really fascinating getting to see sights like this, and it made Spike wonder how the rest of the town operates with places like this.
But soon enough, after making they're way through the Gizmo shop, then climbing up a ladder leading to the rooftop, they finally made it to the bell they've been hearing about, while it was blocked off by some wood and crates, it wasn't enough to bother them.
"Guys, let's try what we did with those pipes a bit ago, it could break it down." Sora suggested which they all agreed with.
"Alright.. here we go!!" Donald shouted as he ran first towards the board before slamming into it, Spike then ran next and slammed into him making the board weaken, followed by Sora and Goofy last which broke the thing down completely like before, Donald held his head and felt a bit dizzy from all of that, but at least they managed to break the thing down.
"You alright Donald?" Spike asked with concern while Donald shook his head and regained focus.
"I'm good, now, about this bell.." Donald said as they looked at the rope and remembered what they were told.
"Sora, you wanna ring the thing?" Spike suggested which Sora was happy to comply with.
"Sure thing, 3 times right?" Sora reminded as he went up to it and grabbed the rope, he roughly pulled it down and finally made the bell ring very loudly which shook the place a bit, but what surprised them most, is back at the fountain area near the entrance, they saw one of the mural's turn while water started to fly around it, and it somehow turned around and showed a completely new painting, and that got all of them thinking the same thing.
"Let's do that again! You ready?" Spike asked as he grabbed it with Sora to do it together.
"Now!" Sora shouted as they pulled the rope together which made it ring once again, the area shook again, and they looked back to the fountain and saw the mural turn a second time and saw more water splash around it, and as Spike looked at the 3 bell shaped pictures around it.. that's when Spike finally realized it.
"Guys, I think that's where the Keyhole is!" Spike said excitedly which got everyone hopeful.
"Really?! Alright!" Sora cheered as all of them joined together for this last pull.
"What are we waiting for? Ready?!" Donald shouted as they all gripped it at once.
"Pull!" Goofy screamed as they all pulled at once one more time.
This made the mural turn around for a third time like the signs imply, and like Spike suggested, the mural turned around and revealed the hidden Keyhole within Traverse Town, it was a really clever hiding spot honestly, but seeing this made all of them cheer as they saw it finally appear.
"Great work guys! We're really getting the hang of this!" Sora said proudly while they started making they're way down quickly to seal it.
"Guess this is one of the best things about exploring worlds huh? It let's us see sights like this." Spike said with a smile while they all climbed down the ladder leading down, and they jumped off the small ledge and landed in the middle of the District where the Keyhole was.
"Well, we know what you have to do now, let's seal that Keyhole!" Goofy said as Spike and Sora summoned they're Keyblades to finish the job.
"Sounds good to me, you ready to do this Spike?" Sora asked as they came directly in front of it, but before Spike could reply, they all suddenly felt a dark presence appear around the area, and that alerted all of them instantly.
"Hold on.. something's wrong!" Spike shouted as they all looked towards the sky and screamed as they saw something fall down towards them.
Large pieces of armor landed on the ground again, and as they all tried seeing what it is, they all realized exactly what it was, it was the same Heartless they fought before in the Third District.
"Oh come on, this thing again?!" Spike asked with annoyance as the thing fully formed into itself again and spread out it's large claws, ready to fight them.
"Don't let this thing get to the Keyhole guys! Let's go!" Sora declared as they all ran towards the thing and engaged with it in battle once more.
But before the thing could attack, the thing's body suddenly started to move again.. it switched it's body upside down in a strange way that changed it's form, the large boot's they saw before soon changed into large metal claws that could fire cannon's out from them, and the claws formed into deadly looking armored feet that replaced it, and the thing swapped it's body upside down and put it's head in the larger area, and soon it's mask opened up, showing it's real monsterous face for this fight, and the thing roared as it showed it's true form.
Everyone summoned they're weapons and got ready as the thing roared at them all before running straight towards them to destroy them.
"So this is what it really looks like?!" Spike asked as the thing aimed at Spike and shot a large blast straight towards him, Spike summoned his other Keyblade quickly and deflected it instantly and it went right back towards it.
"It doesn't matter if it's only showing it's ugly face now! We defeated it once, we can do it again!" Sora said confidently as he used his Thunder and made lightning rain down on it which damaged it more.
"It's still like how we fought it before, we go for it's body parts before going for the center! Let's take it down!" Donald said as he shot multiple fire blasts at the legs to weaken it, and Goofy used his Tornado move to strike it all around it too.
"Let's get em boys!" Goofy said confidently as he jumped in the air and threw his shield at the things face which deflected back to him, the creature roared as it's parts started flying around to take them on from multiple areas at once.
Spike and Sora looked at eachother and got the same plan before they raised they're Keyblades and charged straight towards it, Spike ran alongside Sora before he leaped into the air, and Sora went right below him before Spike hit the ground, and Sora put his hands below Spike's legs before he gave him a boost and tossed him even higher into the air.
Spike made a battle cry as he flipped around in the air and glared at the monster while aiming his Keyblade at it.
"Take this!" Spike shouted as he threw his Oblivion Keyblade at it and it managed to slice through one of it's arm cannon's in an instant which destroyed it.
The monster screamed even more as it's other hand started flailing around widely, and it began shooting blasts all over the district with fury. Donald screamed and quickly ducked under the blast that almost hit him, but it ended up burning the tip of his hat which made Donald very mad.
"Hey! Do you know how hard it was to design this?!" Donald asked as he made loud angry noises before shooting multiple spells at the monster's legs to take it down.
Goofy made his scream again as he landed on the ground and kept throwing his shield at the second arm multiple times to destroy it, and the monster only started marching to them while glaring in a menacing way.
Spike soon landed back near Sora again and they both stood they're ground as the monster raised it's body in the air and showed the dark side of it's armor, and it began charging up an even bigger magic blast before firing it right towards them.
"Watch out!" Sora shouted as he pushed the both of them out of the way just in time before it hit the ground and made a large explosion.
"Thanks!" Spike shouted gratefully as they both got up and saw how fast it's multiple limbs were moving around in the air, but as they were thinking over things, Spike got an idea that could work with destroying this thing for good.
"Sora, you remember that summoning gem the Fairy Godmother gave us?!" Spike asked as he ducked under a slash from it and slid under it before striking it's back on the other side.
"Yeah, I see what your going for! Great idea! Hang on!" Sora shouted as he pulled out the gem he had before and began combining the magic he had within it to give it power.
"Give us strength!" Sora shouted as he raised his Keyblade in the air and used it's power to summon the being contained within it, this started to make a new shadow form within the light as it was finally being seen again, a large and sharp looking claw emerged from the light, and soon fully reformed into what he looked like before, even if for just a bit, and as the figure emerged into the battle, it was revealed to be a familiar looking Lion who had a really strong heart..
"Simba!" Spike shouted as the Lion known as Simba roared at the monster and created a shockwave of power from it, Spike and Sora both stood alongside the lion as it stood it's ground to fight, it lunged at the monster directly and began clawing at it's multiple limbs to destroy it, Spike helped the lion out and ran up towards it and used his lightning to deflect any attacks that were trying to shake it off, and the Lion roared again before it managed to tear apart it's second arm and it's remaining legs.
"Alright! Way to go!" Sora cheered as Spike got on Simba's back and charged at the things center to finish things.
"Now!" Spike screamed as Simba lunged directly towards the monster's head and gave it one last devastating slash, Spike followed this up by jumping off Simba and going high into the air before he fell directly down towards it's face, Spike screamed as he used both his Keyblades again and delivered a cross slash to it's chest, and Sora finished it off by shooting a beam from his Keyblade directly at it's chest, it pierced through it instantly, and the monster screamed as it finally felt itself fading away for good from this last slash.
Everyone stood together again as the things body shook weakly, and soon enough, it's head fell into it's body this time, and they saw a large heart leave it like before, and the rest of it's body faded away, meaning it was finally destroyed for good. Everyone sighed in relief as the monster was gone, and Spike looked at Simba with a smile before he gave him an assuring nod too, and soon enough, Simba faded away again, until they can restore his world, the best they can do for now is have him help when they need it.
"At least that's over with." Sora said with a relieved look as they turned back towards the Keyhole that was still there, and thankfully wasn't affected during the battle.
"You ready to seal it Sora?" Spike asked as they raised they're Keyblades directly at it.
"Let's finish it." Sora said proudly as they're Keyblades glowed brightly, and they soon shot another beam at it and they went directly into the Keyhole, another lock sound was heard around the area, and soon enough, the Keyhole started to fade away too like what's happened before, and the only thing left of it was the mural that they saw before.
And to add onto it, another Gummi piece popped out of it too, landing down in front of the group, and it looked exactly like the ones they've seen before.
"Looks like this is another Navigation Gummi, we'll give it to Cid later when we come back." Spike said as he picked it up and put it away for now.
Everyone smiled with relief as they felt this world was much safer now that the Keyhole is sealed, and if they keep this up, they could stop them in no time.
"Well, there's not much for us here now, you wanna get going guys?" Sora asked as they felt ready to go.
"Sounds good to me, let's see where we'll be going next." Spike replied while they all started heading back to they're ship to see what's next for them, it was great that they were able to seal this worlds Keyhole, even if they still have much to go through, they were just glad to take in this moment as things would only get tougher from here..
