Saga of Light is a Kingdom Hearts AU Series Fic written by SirAngelo on FanFiction.Net.The series starts by diverging from canon partway through Kingdom Hearts II, where Saïx accepts Sora's offer to exchange his freedom for Kairi's. What follows is Kairi having to take up the mantle of hero and Keyblade Master and journeying the worlds in an attempt to finally bring an end to Organization XIII. The series then deals with the aftermath of the battle with the Organization, as our heroes attempt to live their lives and deal with the burden that has been placed upon them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series can also be found here on Archive of Our Own.Entries in the series: Saga of Light: She Will Light The Way (AO3 link) XmaSaga of Light: For Love And Friendship (AO3 link) (Christmas side story) The Wig (Side story) Saga of Light: The Dreamers, The Destroyers, and The Departed

Psychological Torment Zone: While battling Zexion's absent silhouette, Kairi gets sucked into Zexion's pocket dimension where she is assaulted with illusions of her loved ones physically attacking her while screaming verbal abuse towards her about how she's nothing but a useless damsel. This nearly drives Kairi to the Despair Event Horizon before Riku jumps in and kills Zexion at the last moment.

Reality Ensues: Although Kairi apparently succeeded in rescuing Sora and stopping the Organization, her self-esteem issues haven't completely disappeared. Even after two years, Kairi still retains some of her old insecurities and hasn't fully gotten over her trauma. When she's placed in a extremely stressful situation where she relives her feelings of helplessness, she has a panic attack and nearly breaks down.

The Dreaded: The Lingering Will is this to the entire Organization. When Riku tells Naminé about how he's had visions of the Keyblade Graveyard and intends to investigate, she becomes terrified and begs him not to go, explaining how the Lingering Will easily defeated Xemnas, Xigbar, and Xaldin when they tried to fight it.

Worf Had the Flu: The Absent Silhouettes are established to be much weaker compared to their original selves, explaining why Xemnas doesn't simply resurrect all his fallen Organization comrades as well as giving Kairi a fighting chance against opponents that would normally be able to squash her with little effort.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Subverted. When Kairi defeats an absent silhouette of Lexaeus, she's surprised to find that he was weaker than Xaldin, who she only barely defeated earlier in her travels, and was expecting the Organization's members to get harder to beat as she progressed.

comment
In canon, Kairi tends to be Out of Focus amongst the Destiny Island Trio and her role usually doesn't go beyond being the Damsel in Distress. Here, she replaces Sora as the main protagonist after he gives his own freedom up in exchange for her own.

comment
Adaptational Badass: Kairi becomes a Keyblade wielder much earlier than in canon and eventually becomes Sora's equal in combat, although that's only after a lot of hard work and suffering. In Kingdom Hearts II, the Gullwings were rather weak and all three working together were only able to take down a single Armored Knight Heartless before getting chased off. Here, they are on a closer power level to their Final Fantasy versions, and are overall more competent and better fighters than in canon.

comment
Magically Inept Fighter: Riku. He definitely has the best attack stats out of the trio, being rated 10/10 for Power and having his Offensive Capability rated as "Very High". However, this comes at the cost of being useless when it comes to elemental magic. His magic rating is 0/10 and he's stated to have no magic potential.

Ascended Extra: In canon, Kairi tends to be Out of Focus amongst the Destiny Island Trio and her role usually doesn't go beyond being the Damsel in Distress. Here, she replaces Sora as the main protagonist after he gives his own freedom up in exchange for her own. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine go from being minor characters in Kingdom Hearts II to major supporting protagonists after Tifa gives them the task of being Kairi's companions and mentors. In the games, the Absent Silhouettes were bonus bosses who mainly served as an excuse for Sora to fight Organization members that were already dead. Here, they take on a more active role in the story and are used by the Organization as substitute members.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: According to Naminé, the Lingering Will fought Xemnas, Xigbar, and Xaldin all at once. Not only did the Lingering Will win easily, but the armor subjected all three Organization members to a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown so brutal that the Organization designated the entire Keyblade Graveyard as a Forbidden Zone.

Having encoded a virus into his heart, he intends to let himself be killed during the final battle so that when his corrupted heart joins up with Xemnas's artificial Kingdom Hearts, the virus his heart is carrying will spread and destroy it.
