Back. That didn't take long did it? Well after taking a break, here's chapter two, hope you enjoy. also I only challenged myself to try to keep Crona's gender unconfirmed. Now I'm jsut going to say he to make it easier on me and help expand the vocab.
As for the review from Kyogure: Time is set during KH2. I will explain what part of time it is in AND why Sora couldn't really damage Crona. There's a reason for everything. Be patient
Now that that's over here you go.
Cut-scene
Sora was about to fight alongside a new ally against Crona who has been a hard opponent. And to add the fact Sora's Keyblade had no effect on him. Not even a little. He turned to the newcomer seeing that if it wasn't for her, Sora would probably have died at that very moment. He continued to look at Crona though to make sure he didn't get surprised and lose focus as he talked.
"Hey, thanks for earlier. I might not have been around anymore if it wasn't for your help. Which reminds me, what's your name" he asked the girl seeing as though it would be a good time to know someone that just saved them from a fatal blow. The girl had done the same as him focusing on the opponent but could still talk.
"Name's Maka. Let's stop talking, we need to beat him right now." Sora nodded seeing Crona getting ready to strike. The weapon spoke.
"Get ready Maka, he's about to attack" he said seeing Crona readying himself. Ragnarok was fuming in the insides. Pissed at the fact that he lost the chance to eat such a yummy soul and being interrupted. But seeing two more added, he didn't mind. He would just kill them quickly
"Hurry this up Crona, I want to taste their souls already!" Sora really hoped this time the outcome would be different. Or else all of it would be in vain. He just gripped his weapon harder getting rid of his nervousness and being prepared
Objective: Defeat Crona with the help of Maka!
Crona had actually went faster swinging horizontally that caused the duo to duck and attack from different sides. Crona managed to slip out before sending a shockwave towards Sora which was easily dodged but had a different reason for the attack. It's purpose was trying to separate the two wanting to help make the battle easy for him. Separating the two and only focusing on the one person that can actually damage him. Crona had already appeared in front of the girl swinging his sword her way trying to land. He was quick not letting up as the fact that Sora couldn't hurt him at the moment only made him focus on one person. Maka. And she was parrying with the blows making sure to have an opening but the small frame she had was too little to take a chance.
"Duck" Sora said quickly as he came into view blocking the next attack trying to give her time to retaliate against him. She noticed this and went with diagonal attack from the ground up. Crona skipped back away. Sora frowned at this and was added with Maka thinking.
'Maka, he's too quick to attack head on. We need a plan' the weapon spoke to his meister using a mental link seeing that just a simple attack attempt would fail horribly.
'I know Soul.' She was thinking of plans that could help make a strike work and end it. And that didn't leave too many options. Sora thought of something at that moment.
'I got something. Follow my lead" Sora said looking behind, his face more serious than he has ever been. He charged at Crona but surprised Maka and Soul when they looked at his chest. His Soul more importantly.
"Maka, you see it too right?"
"Yeah." She said as Sora attacked but Crona moved to the right. Sora wasn't done being on the offensive side for once the whole time he's been here. She shook off the interesting detail as she did as Sora had said, Crona tried to slice him but Sora jumped into the air appearing behind Crona. He turned to hit the amber haired teen as a respone but he ducked. Sora pushed off his foot sending a powerful strike that shocked both of them seeing that the move actually worked and that it actually hurt. Crona was struck hard and was sent flying into Maka's direction.
'Now Maka' Soul had yelled which she answered by a vertical slice that would have ended it, slicing him in half. Instead it just resulted with the blade being stuck onto the side of him. Crona looked unfazed but black drops fell to the ground that looked like blood.
"That actually hurts." he said in response to the attack
Cut-Scene
Maka looked in shocked. Not only had the boy not died from the blow, he didn't even looked like he got hurt. Only a slight amount of blood have fallen. If it could even be considered blood at all. She saw Crona getting closer to her answering her thought on the liquid.
"Yeah, my blood is back." She got shokced realizing how close he was and dashed back.
'What is up with this guy' Soul had asked still in his weapon form. He had never seen such a being at the moment and neither had his partner. He did wondered what happened to Sora. He had helped but after that attack he was out of sight.
'W-why? Why do I feel so tired. I can't move either' Sora asked himself. He had attacked normally. But for some reason felt drained. He was on his knees not being able to move at all. He was helpless at the moment. The same voiced enter Crona's head.
'Finish them off. What are you waiting for?' Crona's insanity spiked and became serious. He turned his head to look at Sora.
"I'll finish you when I'm done with these two." Sora clenched his teeth hating the way he was being talked as if he couldn't do anything. But right now, he was completely right. Ragnarok scream pierced everyone's ear flinching and stunning a bit from the sound. Ragnarok's weapon form had started to vibrate from side to side. Crona had sent a bigger and stronger Shockwave now focusing as Maka dodged it and had to turn to the side when he appeared suddenly sending another strike, destroying the wooden benches. Maka was on edge right now. She was in the same state as Sora when he entered here. Although, in a more dangerous one.
'Damn, what are we going to do? We can't just run and leave him here.'
'Tch' Soul replied at this. Not in rudeness but at the inability to think of a good solution. Although the timing was cut short by Maka blocking the oncoming attack from Ragnarok. It didn't do much, seeing as it had hurt Soul in the process. Maka was alarmed by this backing quickly to stop the pain.
"Are you alright?" she asked quickly.
"Yeah." he replied coughing up blood after finishing his sentence
"Damn, now attacking seems pointless. And if I defend you'll be hurt in the process." she said worried at her options at the moment
"I'm always prepare to die for my Meister. Just fight!" he yelled still in pain from the injury he received.
"But-!" she started but saw the boy closing in on her she didn't know what to do. She was struggling with her choice of attacking or defending. She closed her eyes in response but felt no pain. She opened them and felt like everything was in slow motion. Seeing blood scattered in the air. Small drops of it as if it was rain. It wasn't hers though. Her partner being back in his human form had his arms extended to protecct his meister. Then everything turned into a normal pace as he fell unconscious.
"This is over." Crona had said not being effected from the blood that came out of Soul. Even if he was the one that caused it. Sora eyed the whole thing his eyes body shaking from the sight. He's been through a lot but having the feeling of not helping was twisting his insides. He was trying to get on his feet. He was still feeling numb after all.
"Move." Sora had said trying to help Maka and to himself so he could get up seeing Crona move into Maka's direction. She was standing still not leaving without Soul.
"Move." he said louder. He panted as his body was rejecting his wishes. Crona had raised his blade high looking at Maka who looked down already accepting at what was going to happen. His body then shut down as he passed out not knowing what was the fate. Crona had sliced downward but was stopped after being sliced straight through by a scythe. The color was very somber showing no type of light coming in or out through it. It was followed by a swift kick that had broke right through the door and kicked Crona away. Maka turned to the source automatically recognizing the weapon. A certain professor walked in next to a man with red hair with his arm partially transformed into a scyhte
"S-Stein? Dad?" she asked confused why they were here. Stein was focused on Crona. Completely serious before looking at Soul. He quickly gave him medical aid for now. He would need better treatment soon.
"Why are you two here?" Maka asked before Stein answered not even looking back.
"Shinigami told us to do so. Stop the Kishin before it became stronger and becomes aware of it's strength. That, and to save that boy. For what reason, I'm not sure." he said, his tone questionable. He was trying to think why Shinigami would want someone like a boy. Although the weapon in hand from Sora was enough for his question to be answered. He grinned mentally having to remember it for later as there was more important things to focus. Taking down Crona was one of them.
"Spirit" Stein said to him serious wanting him to be in position for the fight. Spirit wasted no time as he agreed with him nodding changing into his scythe form and appeared in Stein's hand. He readied for a fight against the opponent in front of him.
Cut-scene
Sora woke up still in a daze but when he finally saw what was around him, it didn't make sense to him at all. He was back home. Destiny islands. He just continued to look as it felt and smelt the same way as it was back home. He was here. But how? He was just in someplace a few seconds ago. He slowly got up feeling everything was fine. Perfect and capable of moving freely without any pain. As if the fight had not happened in the first place. This was messing with Sora's mind. How could he be back home? Ina blink of an eye? He shook his head seeing that there was no one around. He took a step hearing the sand beneath his shoes moving from his step and crunching lightly. He went to the shore and it felt perfect. It was just like his home. Yet, he couldn't get rid of this feeling that there's something underneath this all.
"This isn't real. It can't be. Something's not right here" he said to himself. There was no one in sight. No one to hear his comment Except for one.
"Of course not. this is your mind." a voice said behind him. Sora reacted taking out his keyblade and turning quickly. He dropped his jaw at the sight. It was himself holding the same weapon in hand. His attire though was completely black. AS if it was being consumed by something.
"W-what are you?" he asked surprised trying to get a answer at the horrific sight in front of him.
"I'm you." he replied as he spread a wide grin on him showing malicious intentions. "Why? Is there something that just doesn't seem right?" He said in a playful tone swinging his blade in the air freely but not attacking.
"That's not me. Your just pretending." He said in disbelief as he would never let something happen to him with the result ending up like that,
"You are in your own mind. This is you. Just, not yet." He laughed wickedly before readying the blade. "But don't worry, I'll make sure both you and me are in sync!" Sora just gritted his teeth preparing for a battle. He didn't know this all started. He wasn't going to lose though. That's the last thing he wanted.
