this chapter is so short... woopsies. haha :) please leave a review if you read this, it would make me REALLY HAPPY! :))
When Sora whirled around, thinking he had to protect his friend, Riku yelled "Here!"
The Way to the Dawn, Riku's key blade, was thrown through the air and into Sora's hands. Sora stared at the weapon, but looked at Riku, who was dodging and jumping over the Unversed attacking him. They were attacking him with a greater force now that his weapon was in another person's hands.
"Sora! Fight Vanitas!" Riku yelled to his friend, in a tone that clearly stated, "Don't worry about me." Sora didn't know how he couldn't worry about Riku, but when Vanitas charged toward him, both his dark key blade and the Ultima in his hands, Sora had no choice. The sixteen-year-old held up the Way to the Dawn and pushed Vanitas back. Right before Vanitas would've flew back, as any other enemy would, he threw the dark key blade behind Sora. Sora glided away from Vanitas until about 50 feet was put between them. The dark key blade flew past Sora, and he turned to hit it away from him. The dark key blade made a clattering sound as it fell onto the grass and disappeared in a puff of black clouds, or darkness. There was only one place it would have reappeared to, and Sora came to his realization and stepped to the side just as the Ultima grazed his left, with Vanitas having just thrown it. Blood flowed freely from the wound, but Sora willed his key blade to disappear in a flash of light and back into his hands. Now he had two key blades. Riku let out a yelp, and flew backwards into a palm tree as the Unversed split up and headed for different targets. Sora watched in horror as Riku stood up and his wounds were revealed. His many bruises hid under his clothes, and dirt covered the blood seeping through his long pants. Sora raced over to his friend, and, duel wielding both his and Riku's key blades, knocked many Unversed to the ground.
"What are these things?" Sora asked as the enemies peeled themselves off the floor and headed for the boys again. Vanitas, however, just stood by, watching.
"They were created from my negative emotions. I'm strong, so they won't give up easily. Try to defeat them if you dare, but it's smarter to just run," Vanitas mocked. Riku glared, his mind reeling as he actually considered retreating. But no, that was not an option. Sora handed The Way to the Dawn back to Riku, and Riku began to fight. Every few attacks, he would stumble, and Sora knew Riku needed a little extra help.
"Riku, take this," Sora commanded, after digging around in his pockets and pulling out a potion. Riku grabbed the potion, and ducked while a Unversed zoomed above his head. He jerked his hand closer to his body as an Unversed flew toward him, wildly waving its arms around. Sora leaped in front of Riku and batted the Unversed to the ground. They knew Riku wasn't a force to be reckoned with, and because of that, they were trying to keep him from healing himself. Riku turned his back to Sora, and they started to fight back to back. Sora attacked the Unversed with many blows, while Riku single-handedly swatted the Unversed away and drank the potion. After Riku's wounds were healed, he whispered to Sora, "Go into your drive form."
Sora nodded, and then everyone was blinded by a brilliant flash of light. Riku's eyes stayed open, as he had seen this light before, and he looked on to Vanitas, who stepped back but also kept his eyes open. When the bright light faded away, everyone saw Sora differently. He was wearing his same outfit, except it was white and black. The trim on the sleeves of his jacket and pants were black with a white, dragon-like design. He was wielding two key blades, both of which belonged to his nobody, Roxas. One was white and light colors, the Oathkeeper, and one was black and dark colors, the Oblivion. Sora let out a smirk in Vanitas' direction, but Vanitas just shrugged. Sora saw something in Vanitas' eyes change. Before, it seemed as though Vanitas knew for w fact he would prevail, but now he wasn't so sure. Sora didn't fail to realize that he would only be in this form for a limited amount of time, but he pushed the thought to the back of his head. If he defeated Vanitas in the little time he had, everything would be alright.
"What good does changing outfits do you?" Vanitas sneered. Sora opened his mouth to answer, but decided Vanitas probably knew what good it did. He was given more powers, including another key blade. Vanitas was just trying to stall Sora so the drive form wore off. This was his most powerful drive from, the Final Form, and he couldn't let his transformation go to waste. He had to use his limited powers against Vanitas.
Sora charged forward, both the Oathkeeper and Oblivion in his hands. Vanitas slid to the right and Sora ran past him. Vanitas raised his key blade, thinking defeating his boy will be too easy.
"You see, even if your most powerful form, you can't defeat..." Vanitas blinked in utter shock as Sora seemed to have disappeared from under Vanitas' nose. The boy whose name meant sky had been next to Vanitas, but when Vanitas turned, he was not there. "Me...?" Vanitas finished with a tone of confusion in his voice.
"Well, that backfired on you," Riku stared, eyeing Vanitas very carefully. Vanitas shot back a nasty look, and decided eliminating one person would be enough until he found Sora. Riku smiled, as he and Sora's plan was going their way.
"Alright, come at me under the blue sky," Riku said, and got into a fighting stance. His key blade raised above his head, pointed at Vanitas, and his arm stretched out. The black haired boy dashed forward, but nothing was happening.
"Under the blue SKY," Riku repeated, putting emphasis on 'Sky'. Sora needed to hear the code word, as the name 'Sora' literally meant 'Sky'. Sora leaped off the top of the tallest palm tree. A pink-orange egg had once sat upon it, but when Sora was 15, he had removed it. He, Riku, and Kairi had needed it for their raft. Sora, snapping out of his many memories, landed in front of Vanitas and slashed across his stomach. Vanitas, not expecting the boy to land on the sand in front of him, was injured by Sora's key blade attack. He floated through the air, slowing himself so he could try to recover. But Sora, as he was in his Final Form, would not allow that to occur. He used the Oblivion to knock Vanitas higher in the air, and did a full front flip to reach his enemy soaring above his and Riku's heads. Vanitas took his key blade, the Void Gear, and got ready to duel Sora mid air. Sora spread the Oathkeeper and Oblivion apart, so his arms didn't make contact with his body.
"Vanitas, you're gonna lose," Sora smirked again, making that twice he's done it. The Oathkeeper was kept by his side, but he thrust the Oblivion at Vanitas, a cloud of dark magic surrounding it. Vanitas blocked the attack, both the physical and magical part of it. In turn, though, Sora used the Oathkeeper to knock Vanitas higher in the air and closer to the water.
"It's over," Sora looked at Vanitas, who still would not give up his confidence.
"No," Vanitas panted, as his potions fell to the ground more than 50 feet below the two boys. Riku caught all of them save one, which smashed to the ground. Its shattered pieces soared everywhere, as the green healing liquid spilled out onto the sand.
Vanitas' grip on the Void Gear was looser than normal, so Sora threw the Oblivion at Vanitas. Vanitas hit the black key blade back to Sora and laughed.
"Haha! What was that supposed to do?" Vanitas chuckled. Sora smiled. He knew that that wasn't the Oblivion's purpose for being thrown, but Vanitas didn't. Sora slid the Oathkeeper between Vanitas' right hand and the Void Gear and punched him in the nose. On instinct, Vanitas' left hand flew to his nose, and Sora twisted the Oathkeeper until the Void Gear left Vanitas' other hand.
"What?" Vanitas shouted, and Sora landed a seven hit combo on him. Vanitas flew up, not a scratch on his clothes, but his nose bleeding.
Sora's feet landed by Riku's very softly, as he had not desired to fall the whole way down. Sora looked down at his left hand, and the Oblivion appeared. The Void Gear was no wear to be seen, and dead Unversed lay around Riku.
"We won," Riku's forehead was beaded with sweat, and Sora was thankful once again to his friend for taking down one threat while he finished another. The boys' eyes widened and they whirled around when a sickening thud was heard behind them. The one laying unmoving on the shore, waves gently flowing around his figure, was Vanitas.
