Roxas vs. Sora Battle Plus Again!

by

Phoenix Hoshika

     From the top of the clock tower in Twilight Town Roxas watched angrily as Sora laughed and talked with the group of teens he had deemed as his friends. Even though he had only known their replicas and knew this fact himself his affection for them was the same and it burned him up inside to seem them having so much fun with that imposter. "Sora…" Roxas thought his name seething with anger every part of his being screaming to jump down from his position and swoop down on him like a shadow covering him darkness.  "I'll never forgive you!" Roxas said quietly to himself as the group parted from Sora. "I'll never forgive you!" He screamed standing up and jumping down from the ledge. The group of friends stopped and turned just in time to see Sora being tackled to the ground by an unknown figure in black.

     "What's going on?" Ollete asked as she watched the two struggle.

     "Where'd that guy come from?" Pence asked dismayed.

     "Who cares? Let's get 'im," Heyner declared. "Hey you, you mess with him you mess with us too!" He said taking a fighting stance.

     "Y-yeah, that's right!" Ollete said taking a stance as well even though she had no idea what she was doing. Pence stood beside her putting on the most fierce face he could muster even though he knew he wouldn't last two seconds in fight.

     "No! Run!" Sora yelled from his position on the ground as he futilely struggled to get Roxas off of him. Beneath them a dark doorway opened and the two fell through it.

     "I'm going to rearrange your face!" Roxas said reeling back to hit Sora who got him first kneeing him in the stomach. Roxas let go of him and flew back. Sora continued to fall his body tilting head first toward the ground. Before he could turn himself right side up Sora saw two keyblades closing in on him fast as Roxas flew toward him.

     "No way!" Sora said in disbelief drawing his own keyblade to block his attack just in time. The two began clashing blades as they fell, Sora still falling head first. The blood was rushing to his head making holding off his hooded attacker more difficult than it need have been.

     "You leave him alone!" A familiar voice cried out.

     "Kairi?" Sora wondered to himself. A split second later a bolt of thunder hit Roxas breaking his attack long enough for Axel to swoop in and grab Sora.

     "Axel?" Sora exclaimed as the red haired man carried him as he swiftly sailed through the black sky toward the stained glass surface below.

     "The one and only," Axel replied with a smile. "Thought I'd drop in and lend you a hand."

     "But why," Sora asked as they landed.

     "Because..." Axel said as he sat Sora on his feet and turned his back to him. "That little punk made me look like a total wimp in the first installment." He thought to himself angrily.

     "Axel?" Sora called the man's attention seeming to have strayed from the conversation.

     "Just because, okay? Do you have to ask so many questions," he said and started to storm off when Sora stopped him.

     "Where are you going? You said you came to help me didn't you?" Sora asked confused by his actions.

     Axel stopped and looked over his shoulder. "I interfered enough. If things get rough I'm sure she'll be more than enough to help you out of a jam."

     "She? She who," Sora asked.

     "Later." Axel said giving him a back wave.

     "Me, silly," Kairi said from beside him.

     "Kairi?" Sora screeched in surprise. "When did you get here?

     "Just in time to save your butt." The red haired girl answered. "Axel brought me. He did say something about kidnapping me at first, but said he changed his mind or something like that." Kairi said taking out her keyblade.

     "What?" Sora said not believing how nonchalantly she glossed over the being kidnapped part.

     "Sora, watch out!" Kairi shouted darting to block Roxas' attack. He bore down on her for a few seconds then jumped away.

     "You're strong, but not strong enough. Out of my way!" He yelled charging at her.

     "We'll see about that!" Kairi said rushing toward him.

     "Kairi, no! Get away from him!" Sora cried, but the two were locked in fierce combat.

     "Don't worry about me." Kairi said fending off a series of vicious attacks. "You've done enough, now it's my turn," she said as she blocked another attack then went on the offense. Swinging her keyblade with deadly precession the winged tip of the Gullwing Keyblade caught Roxas in the face. He leaped away from her again. Driving one of his keyblades effortless into the floor he leaned on it like a crutch panting heavily. Bringing his finger to his mouth he wiped away a small trickle of blood. The keyblade had cut his lip. He didn't want to think about what could have happened if he hadn't dodged the attack in time, but still that was too close for him. "You managed to cut me, but you still have a long way to go before you can defeat me." Roxas said coldly.

     "I'm more skilled than you think I am. I'll make sure you don't bother my boyfriend ever again!" Kairi said holding up her keyblade preparing to rush at him again.

     "Boyfriend…" Sora said out loud not believing his ears.

     "You feel the same way right?" Kairi said looking over at him with a smile.

     "Yeah," he said just loud enough to be heard. "But I was supposed to say it first. I had a speech prepared and everything." He thought feeling his thunder had been stolen.

     "Don't worry. I'll protect you this time." Kairi said running forward. Her body began to shine, engulfed in a white light. When it faded her pink outfit had clearly become a bright yellow.

     "Is that Kairi's Master Form?" Sora wondered to himself. "No way," he said falling to his knees.

     "You're in my way!" Roxas shouted as he ran toward her with his keyblade pointing forward. They met and began clashing blades at an alarming speed.

     "Looks like the runt's having a hard time," Axel said leisurely reclining on a set of invisible bleachers as he sat eating popcorn and drinking soda.

     "He seems distracted." Riku said sitting a little ways away from Axel with his arms folded as his eyes glued to the fight.

     "I would be too. Gotta admit Sora's girlfriend is hot." Axel commented then took a sip of his soda. "He sure does leave you alone with her a lot. If she was my woman I wouldn't let her out of my sight, especially not around you."

     Riku scuffed shifting is eyes from the battle only for a brief moment quickly refocusing his attention back on the fight; Sora still on the sidelines as Kairi blocked every attempt Roxas made to get past her to him. "Why is that is that?"

     "I wouldn't believe for a second you haven't tried anything while trusting Sora there wasn't looking." Axel said putting the straw of the oversized cup to his mouth again.

     "I'm not interested in Kairi and I already have a girl friend." Riku said flatly.

     Axel almost spit out his pop. "What?" He said sitting up straight his attention focused on Riku. "What's her name?"

     "Nancy." Riku answered in the same flat manner.

     "Can I see a picture of her then?" Axel asked anxious to see what she looked like.

     Riku didn't take his eyes from the battle for one second as he reached into his pocket and sent a wallet sized photo flying over to Axel who caught it between his index and middle finger.

     Looking at the photo an expression of utter disappointment settled onto his face lingering. "She's fat," he said staring at the photo in his hand.

     "I know that." Riku said slightly distracted from the fight.

     Axel's eyes shifted from the photo to Riku then back to the photo. "Oh! I get it; low self-esteem, extremely low maintenance, easy to get in the sack. I get ya."

     Suddenly a blast of ice shot by Axel's head barely missing him. It was so cold it burned the side of his face. "Say that again." Riku dared.

     "Cut the goody-goody crap you and anyone one who's spent two second around you know you're no good at it. Just admit the only reason you're with is because she's…" Axel was cut short when he had to dodge another blizzaga.

     Riku stood up drawing his keyblade. "She's the only one that stood by me no matter what. She knew what I did and she still loved me. I'm not going to let you talk that way about her!" Riku said then lunged at Axel his blade just missing him as he jumped out of the way.

     "Guess I was wrong about who had the self-esteem issue." Axel grinned. "I'm not really in the mood for a fight, but if you insist; let's get it on," he said drawing his wind and fire wheels.

     "What's going on?" Sora wondered in a quiet voice as he stood back helplessly watching Kairi and Roxas fight. Suddenly Kairi landed the finishing stroke. Roxas' keyblades went flying into the air and he fell into a kneeling a position not allowing himself to fall completely over.

     "Who are? Let me see your face." Kairi said pulling back Roxas' hood something he wouldn't have allowed her to do if he weren't so beat up and exhausted.

     "Sora?" Kairi said looking directly at him even though he looked nothing like the boy she was so fervently defending. The only trait they had in common being their bright blue eyes. "Don't call me by that name." Roxas said a dark door opening beneath him. He slipped into it disappearing.

     "Wait! Don't go!" Kairi called reaching out for him but he was already gone. "Sora, did I do the right thing? Will we ever see him again," she asked the boy who had come to stand beside her.

     "Don't worry about it. I'm sure we will, but Kairi you were awesome!" Sora said excitedly.

     Kairi giggled flipping her hair over her shoulder. "You're not mad at me?"

     "Why would I be angry? I was worried something bad might happen, but you showed him."

     "I sure did," Kairi said smiling. "Where's Riku?" She said looking around. "He had come with us. What happened to him?"

     "He did? We better go find him." Sora said looking into the dark void around them.

     "Sora look!" Kairi said pointing up. Slight above the stained glass arena Kairi had spotted Riku standing in the invisible bleachers with is back to them. Axel lie crumpled between them, beaten to a pulp, out of their range of vision. "Riku!" Kairi called coming out of her Master Form and running over to the bleachers with Sora. They simultaneously leaped into the air and landed in the stands behind their friend.

     "Riku, you're crying what's wrong?" Kairi asked somehow sensing his distress.

     "No, I'm not." Riku answered in a clear voice quickly wiping the tears from his eyes before turning to face them. "You're really loosing it Kairi. Let's go home." He said patting her on the shoulder as he walked away.

     Kairi looked down between the bleachers and sighed. "Maybe he could use these when he comes too." Kairi said removing a couple of hi-potions from her pouch. Bending over she reached down to put them beside Axel shrieking when he suddenly reached up and grabbed her arm.

     "Oh, princess only a sweet kiss from your lips will heal my broken bones." Axel said his grip firm on her arm.

     "What did you say?" Sora demanded two steps away from pounding on him, however, Kairi beat him to it whipping out her keyblade. "Let me go!" She ordered repeatedly whacking him with it until he relinquished his grasp on her. "Honestly!" She said standing up flipping her hair back over her shoulder. "And I'm keeping my potions." Kairi said placing the two small containers back into her pouch. "Let's go Sora." she said grabbing his hand.

     "Yes, ma'am." Sora said having become a little frightened of her. The two followed after Riku Kairi practically dragging Sora as she stormed away.

     "Why? Why are these things happening to me?" Axel wondered as he lay on the floor.
