(Author's Note: Those of you who have no idea what songs I am mentioning during the cutscenes, look them up on the KH Soundtracks or on Youtube. You'll know what these names mean whilst also having the oppurtunity to listen to these songs, so...Yeah. Also, again, I'm trying to evoke that "Playing The Game" feel, so this may be more detailed than what one would normally expect from a literary story. Bear with me. Once the worlds start appearing, chapters will not be as detail-havy.)
("Fragments of Sorrow" plays as a new cutscene begins.)
Aios is the focus of the scene as the Light clears up.
The platform he is standing on is now cracked, as a giant creature rises up from the sky.
It is a mixture of black and white, half of it's body one color, the other one opposite.
The creature's structure resembles a Darkside, though it lacks the spiky hair and "covered" face.
It has no face at all, the front area of it's head completely blank, it's logo (The same as the one on the platform) is shown on it's chest.
It has extremely sizeable wings that it is using to glide up to the platform.
It lands on the platform as Aios looks up at the monstrosity.
(Information: "Defeat the giant Mysterious Enemy!")
(Pause Menu Info: "Defeat the enemy! Attacking it's head will cause more damage! Be sure to take advantage of Reaction Commands in order to not avoid it's attacks, but to stun it as well!")
The creature lifts it's head up as an opening appears where the face would be, small bird-like creatures flying towards Aios.
Aios summons his Keyblade and extends it's Light Handle.
(Reaction Command Chain: "Lunge")
As the first bird swoops towards him, he extends his Light Rope, thus stretching his Keyblade out to strike the first one down.
The impact allows Aios to jump towards the bird's first position, as he aims towards the second bird in midair, with the same goal in mind.
Using the birds as "footholds" of sorts, he manages to make his way to the creature's head, landing on it's left shoulder.
He whips it's head with his Keyblade, every strike digging into the skin on it's head.
(Boss HP Gauge: Past the first Gauge, just near the boundry.)
After a time, the creature uses it's massive right hand and picks Aios off of it's shoulder, then violently throwing down onto the ground with a THUD.
Another opening appears where it's face would be as a green beam launches from the area.
(Reaction command: "Evade")
Aios rolls out of the hand's way as it lands onto the platform, the force striking it into two halves.
Aios stands himself up and looks at the hovering right half of the now broken platform.
It was too risky to jump, and no more birds to grapple with.
The creatures raises it's arm to strike Aios, and instead manages to get it's arm stuck in the gap between the two platform halves.
(Reaction Command: Scale)
Using the arm as stairs he jumps onto the arm of the creature and proceeds to run upwards towards it's head.
As he runs, bird-creatures are seen flying towards him again.
He throws and stabs one bird with his blade, then uses the Light Rope as a sling, the force of the swings allowing the impaled body to act as a bumper, keeping the creatures at bay.
After the birds are gone, he textends his Rope with such force that the impaled body dislopdges, and hits the creature directly in the face.
He eventually makes his way right next to the head, where he sees a rather bright Light emanating from where the face should be.
(Reaction Command: Unlock)
He jumps backwards into the air and after one swing of his arm, jams the Keyblade into the bright Light.
At that moment, the scene goes completely white.
(Level Up! Deck Capacity Increased!)
The scene returns to the Awakening as Saphyra is seen rather than Aios.
She stares at the creature now looking down on her.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
The scene then focues on Saphyra specifically as she enters combat position, summoning her two Keyblades.
(Information: "Defeat the Giant Mysterious Enemy!")
(Pause Menu Info: "Defeat the enemy! Be sure to avoid it's arm attack while waiting for an opening! Keep an eye on Saphyra's back!")
A shrill cry is heard as Saphyra begins to run towards the creature.
Bired creatures fly towards Saphyra as she jumps into the air, expecting them.
A second later, she dispatches one with a whack of her right Keyblade, the rest falling to air combos.
As she lands back onto the ground, Dark orbs begin to surround her. (Ala the Phantom's Doom Clock from the first Kingdom Hearts.)
Eventually the orbs combine into her body as a hand erupts from underneath the platform, grabbing her aggressively.
She struggles with all of her might as the hand breaks through the platform (Again breaking it into two halves) Pushing her within eye level of the monster's head.
The monsters rears for another punch with it's right arm.
(Reaction Command: Essence)
Spahyra misses the oppurtunity for the Command as the punch connect,s dwindling her HP down to near-critical levels.
As she recovers from the punch's daze, her body is thrown into thr air as the scene goes into a slow-motion state.
(Reaction Command: Bull's-Eye)
Saphyra does a flip in the air as she connects her two Keyblades together and summons her Light bowstring.
A charged arrow of Light appears in the bow's quiver as she pulls and releases the bow at super-speed.
The scene resumes normal speed as the arrow connects directly with the creature's "face" as it covers it's face as if in pain.
Two seconds later, it collapses it's complete body onto the platform as it is seen unconcious.
Saphyra lands and runs towards it as her Key-Bow disappears amd returns to the state of two Keyblades.
She attacks the head with all of her might, each strike dealing a portion of damage.
(Boss HP: Past the second gauge, just near the boundry to it's final Gauge's beginning.)
After a time, the Boss wakes up, and uses a shockwave of pure energy to knock Saphyra back.
She stumbles to the ground, clutching her head in dizziness as she returns to a standing position.
Rather than stand again, the creatures executes a hovering state.
"Now I've got you right where I want you..."
A shrill cry is heard at that moment as spears of Light advance upon Saphyra.
She uses her Evasive Action Cartwheel to avoid the spears as she makes her way towards the creature.
She eventually makes her way to it's head as she begins attacking it, her strikes barely regustering on the Boss's HP Gauge.
Small orbs appear as creatures similar to the Ghosts encountered in the former Awakening begin to appear.
Saphyra ignores them completely as she continues to attack the head.
After a time, the scene goes briefly white as the creature reappear, standing like it was during the fight with Aios.
(The Ghosts continue to advance as Saphyra begins attacking them, her Command Gauge filling up even further.
Eventually, it does as she cartwheels back and connects her tweo Keyblades together, her Light Bowstring appearing.
(Command Style: Rapid Rebel)
(Reaction Command: Unlock)
Now that her Command Style is active, she can reach the head by Locking On to it.
After the creatures are gone, she Lock On to the head and activates the Reaction Command.
She cartwheels back directly to the edge of her half of the platform and takes aim with her bow.
The scene zooms in on her seeing eye as she fires the arrow, the projectile connecting with the bright orb in the center of the creature's head as the scene goes white.
(Level Up! Deck Capacity Increased!)
Scenes switch to another Awakening.
The creature is seen standing again as Locke is now the battle's focus.
The creature appears to be weakened, as it's wings are now barely flapping, it's movements wonky.
"Whatever you are..." Locke thinks to himself. "You shall not leave this place...En Garde!"
The scene focuses on Locke as he summons his Keyblade and takes a fencing stance.
(Information: "Defeat the Giant Mysterious Enemy!")
(Pause Menu Info: Defeat the enemy! Remember to use Magic sparingly and aggressively while also watching out for the smaller enemies, for they are a nightmare in numbers! Try using the smaller enemies to replenish your MP Gauge!")
Locke proceeds to run towards the creature, only for Ghosts to be summoned as a barricade of sorts.
He stops short as the Ghosts advance.
"To think I have to raise my Key to the Light itself...so be it!"
Locke gets into a ready stance as the first Ghosts tries to attack.
It extends a tentacle-like arm as he evades the attack and defeat the enemy with a three-hit combo.
Another tries to attack from behind, only for Locke to raise a shield that blocks the attack and knocks the remaining two back. (Reflect Guard, like Aqua from BBS.)
Using the stunning time, he quickly dispatches the other two enemies and resumes his bum rush.
Of course he cannot attack the creature from down on the platform, but long-range attack work wonders.
"Thunder!" Locke shouts as he fires a Thunder spell that attacks the creature's head directly.
He fires two more spells as they chip off large quantities of the creature's HP.
(Boss HP: Less than half now. Three more spells are bound to kill it for sure.)
After a time, more enemies appear in front of Locke as a barrier surrounds the creature, shielding it from further attack.
They advance of Locke as he points his Keyblade towards one.
"Fire!" Locke shouts as a fireball extends from the Keyblade, damaging two, not just one, of the enemies.
As the rest of them stagger, Locke rushes towards the group and slashes at them with garceful, yet aggressive, strikes.
Two are defeated, as Locke is knocked back by the strike of another.
Locke rushes in again, attacking the one that struck him.
That one goes down as only two are left now.
"Blizzard!" Locke shouts as an icy flake attaches itself to one of the Ghosts, freezing it dead in it's tracks.
A slash from Locke makes the freeze permanent.
He stabs the final creature in the chest as the barrier surrounding the giant monster is down.
Locke rushes towards the monster, only for a hand to pop up from underneath the platform like last time.
However, Locke is quick, and dodges the hand before it manages to grab him.
Another comes up from underneath, but rather than grabbing him, punches him into the air directly.
The scene enters a slow-motion phase as Locke is seen looking into the creatures face while in Mid-Air.
(Reaction Command: Mental Snipe)
Locke aims his Keyblade towards the Creature's face and fires what appears to be Magical energy.
The blow connects as the creature covers it's face again, like it did against Saphyra.
Locke lands down onto the platform with a forceful THUD, his body spread out, his Keyblade impaled onto the Platform.
He gets up and reclaims his Keyblade.
He rushes towards the creature's head and begins attacking it with his Keyblade.
He jumps back and fires one Thunder Spell as the scene briefly goes white.
The scene rejuvenates as the creatures is seen holding onto the edge of the platform, as if it's going to fall.
Locke is seen standing over it, by it's ahnd, looking down upon it.
He seems to be reaching out desperately, as if Locke was it's last Hope.
"I'm sorry...But even the Light can be only so bright before the Dark takes hold."
Locke aims his Keyblade at the stumbling creature.
(Reaction Command: Unlock)
A stream of Light releases itself from the edge of his Key as it hits the creature.
It covers it's face with one hand, accidentily letting go of the platform with the other hand.
Locke sighs with relief as the platform he is on begins to shake.
"A-An earthquake?"
The platform beneath his feet finall breaks as he is seen falling.
"J-Just like the dream..."
The scene turns completely white.
(Level Up! Deck Capacity Increased!)
The scene remains white as text fills the screen.
"Both the Light and the Dark are now seperate...Trust neither, and guard both, Oh Destined Three...Or Both will cause the downfall of man..."
Scenes switch to Aio's room.
Aios is seen sitting up on his bed, his face agape in surprise.
"Was that...a new dream?" Aios asks himself.
"AAAHHH!"
"What was that?" Aios asks as he runs to the window to inspect the voice.
The scene shifts to a young aduly womand being chaed by a Shadow Heartless and a Ghsoty creature from the Awakening.
The scene truns black briefly.
As it re-opens, tghe woman is now gone, a Ghost taking her place where she once stood.
"Oh, no..." Aios yells to himself as he runs out of the room in a hurry.
