Alicia: I know I should be working on the last chapter of Is This the End?, but this idea came to my mind due to a conversation with my friend and I just had to go with it. bows But at least you'll get to meet my newest character Aden.
Aden: Why me!
Alicia: Because you've already been through it all and it's going to happen again, Project Ninetales.
Aden: gasp How do you know about that!
Alicia: You're my character. I know everything about you and soon they will too.
Aden: whimpers
Alicia: patpat It will be all right.
Aden: No it won't.
Alicia: Aden, it's my fic. If I say that it will be all right, then it will be all right. Now, on with the fic. But first Aden must do the disclaimer.
Aden: Griffin Alchemist does not own Kingdom Hearts, but she does own this plot and me.
Chapter 1: The new kid
Sephiroth watched a kid, around nineteen, fight in a tournament. So far the kid had done pretty well for an amateur. He was fast, but not as fast as himself and he smirked at this fact.
The "kid" was currently fighting against a group of Shadows and a Large Body. He easily defeated the Shadows with a pair of daggers, but he now faced the huge Large Body. He attacked it from the front, but his attack was reflected and he was thrown back with a powerful thrust from his enemy. He got up and growled out in frustration. He quickly ran towards the Heartless with daggers poised for attack.
"Fool," Sephiroth said.
The kid suddenly jumped right over the Large Body, just missing an attack from it, and sank his daggers into its back, dragging them down as he came down. The Heartless disappeared when he took his weapons out and put them up. He ran a hand through his black blonde streaked shoulder blade length hair and looked over at Sephiroth.
Sephiroth narrowed his mako colored eyes at the kid when he gave him a sly smirk. 'He reminds me of Ansem. Both have that stupid smirk and their eyes are a similar shade of orange.'
The kid turned his attention away from Sephiroth, to the one winged angel's satisfaction, to look at his new opponents. He smirked at the two men.
The brunette just gave him a cold glare, while the blonde just gripped his buster sword tighter.
The goat man, Phil, gave the signal to begin and, as soon as he did, the blonde suddenly charged forward, then brought his sword down.
The kid dodged out of the way only to be hit in the chest with a blast. He glanced over at the brunette and growled. "A gun blade," he hissed out. A flame suddenly formed around the two daggers he held, turning them into flame swords. He smirked and with lightning speed, which Sephiroth hasn't seen in anyone else, he was in front of the brunette. He slashed at his chest, which opened a deep wound and burned the flesh at the same time, then kicked him back against the barrier.
The blonde quickly ran towards the kid and sliced his across the air, hitting the kid's back.
The kid gave an animalistic howl of pain and whirled around to face the blonde. He snarled loudly and lunged for him, slashing at him relentlessly. A loud clatter filled the stadium, which snapped the kid out of his array of attacks. He glanced down at the huge sword laying on the ground, then at the badly wounded blonde. He dropped his daggers in horror at what he's done. He slowly kneeled beside the blonde, taking out a pink spray of some kind, and sprayed it onto the blonde's wounds. "I'm sorry. I sometimes loose myself when I fight," he whispered.
Phil quickly ran over to them when the barriers came down. "You all right, Cloud?" he asked the blonde, who only nodded in return. Phil ran over to the brunette as the kid helped Cloud up.
"What's your name, kid?" asked Cloud.
"It's Aden. Aden Flarestorm," he said as he glanced over at the brunette. "Will he be okay?"
"Leon? He'll be fine. An attack like that won't do much damage to him."
"I take it you didn't get to see what I did to him. When I attack like that the blade will cut deep and the flames will harshly burn the flesh around the wound," he stated as he made his way over to Leon and Phil, with Cloud walking right behind him. "Here. Let me take care of him."
Phil stepped away as Aden kneeled beside Leon. "This might sting," he warned him as he took out a green spray and sprayed it on the burn marks.
Leon winced as the burns started to heal. ' "Might sting?" Heck, this hurts worse than being nailed by a Berserker and frankly those things can break a rib or two with one hit.' He closely watched Aden as he looked at the deep slash on his chest. His glare softened slightly when the kid said that he was sorry.
Aden took out an orange spray and sprayed it on the slash. He watched as the wound healed slightly. "Shit. It's not strong enough." He then took out a pink spray and sprayed it on the slash. He watched as the wound mostly healed. He took out another pink sprayed and applied it to the wound. "That should take care of it. Just don't do anything that could reopen it. The area is still tender and needs a few days to fully heal. The same goes for you," he said, looking over at Cloud as he stood up.
"Hey, kid. Where do you come from?" asked Phil once Aden had finished helping Leon to his feet.
"It doesn't matter. I won't be returning to that place any time soon," Aden replied. He walked over to his backpack and slung it over his shoulder. "So, how much do I get for winning this tournament?"
"Two thousand."
"What!" Aden stared at the goat man. "That's hardly enough to get the items I need."
"Well, kid," Phil started. "We don't have a lot cause we just rebuilt this place."
Aden let out a long sigh. "Fine." He took the prize munny from Phil and gave them a sly smirk. "I'll see you guys later." He calmly walked away, glancing over at Sephiroth when he passed him. He gave him a smirk, which the angel returned with a glare. He just shrugged and walked through the doorway, disappearing from sight.
Sephiroth narrow his eyes. "He's hiding something and I'm going to find out." With that said he stood and left the arena in search of that kid.
Alicia: So, how did you like it? Aden: I remind him of Ansem! makes a note Kill Ansem and make sure that…
