Chapter 3 – Despero [Despair]

Sora, Negi and Setsuna looked around and the three ran to the Kiyomizu Temple. They entered and arrived at the Kiyomizu Temple's main stage. "Professor Springfield, weren't we here last year?" asked Setsuna. Negi nodded. "We were here for the field trip..." he said. Heartless and Nobodies began to appear. "Get ready guys!" said Sora. Negi and Setsuna nodded.

["Up Down Adventure"]

INFORMATION:
Clear the area of Heartless and Nobodies!

Sora ran and a group of Soldiers, Red Nocturnes, and Shadow appeared. Setsuna quickly drew her blade and slashed through some of them. Some Shadows disintegrated, but the Soldiers stumbled and fell back. Sora jumped in the air and struck three Red Nocturnes. Negi raised his staff, pointing it at the group of Heartless. "FREEZE!" he yelled and a giant ball of icy energy came out of the staff, heading straight to a nearby Soldier.. What surprised him was that it exploded on impact, striking the Soldier and freezing the ones near him. Sora had landed a finishing blow on a Red Nocturne in midair. Negi noticed that hearts came out of Heartless whenever they destroyed one. Sora landed and looked at Negi smiling. "Not so hard to cast out that kind of magic is it?" he asked. Negi nodded no, smiling and they got on an offensive stance. Negi ran to another group of Heartless and, without thinking, swung his staff. He noticed a sort of aura covered the staff. As the staff struck the nearest Heartless, it staggered. He began swinging his staff even more, almost as if he were imitating Sora. Heartless were disappearing, and soon, Nobodies began joining in. Dusks and Creepers showed up and began to attack the group. Negi and Setsuna attacked the Dusks, but they stretched their bodies, moving behind them, about to strike. Sora dodge rolled next to the two and cast Reflega. A giant barrier covered the three and the counterattack blew back the Dusks. Creepers disappeared out of sight. "Watch it. Those things can come out of nowhere," warned Sora. Negi and Setsuna looked around. Setsuna noticed and pulled Negi out of the way, barely avoiding the lances the Creepers transformed into. They reverted to their original form and Sora began to attack them. Setsuna quickly dashed to the Creepers, slicing and eliminating them. More Heartless and Nobodies appeared and Negi invoked his spell and the Dusks disappeared, but more had appeared in their place. Sora, Negi and Setsuna were surrounded.

LIMIT [Double Zantetsuken]

"SETSUNA!" yelled Sora. "HERE I GO!" she replied. The two began their flurry of synchronized combos and struck many Heartless and Nobodies.

[Shinmei Style]

"I'll take over!" said Setsuna. Sora tossed his Keyblade to Setsuna. She gracefully executed attacks wielding both her own blade and Sora's Fateful Encounter, with the finishing move stunning all enemies.

[Key Slinger]

"SORA!" she yelled. Setsuna let the Fateful Encounter go, disappearing from her hand and tossing her blade at Sora. He grabbed the blade and threw his Keyblade at the enemies, making them fly in the air as the spinning Keyblade struck them. With his other hand, he struck many more enemies using Setsuna's blade, sending them high into the air. He recovered the Keyblade and Heartless and Nobodies were seen in midair.

FINISH [Double Zantetsuken]

"THIS IS IT!"

"THE END!"

The two got in a stance, and closed their eyes. They opened them and, in a split second, both moved from one place to another. A sound of a single slice from a blade was heard and Negi stood still. All the enemies, both in air and ground, disintegrated as Setsuna placed her blade back into its sheath and Sora stood up and turned, swinging his Keyblade down.

BONUS OBTAINED!
Magic Up!
Learned "Strike Raid"!

Sora, Negi and Setsuna let out a sigh of relief. "That's some skill you have there, Sora." said someone. Sora looked around. Setsuna and Negi recognized the voice. Sora looked up and on top of one of the buildings nearby was a young girl, wearing a pink Gothic Lolita dress and glasses. She looked down on Sora and she jumped over to them. Setsuna stood up, grabbing her blade. "Tsukuyomi..." said Setsuna. "It's been a while, Setsuna..." replied the girl. Sora noticed this girl was holding two blades. She raised one of her blades and pointed it at Setsuna. "I came here for another reason," the girl said, smiling. Something about her didn't seem right for Setsuna. "I came here for him..." she said, slowly pointing the blade from Setsuna to Sora. "What do you want with me?" he asked, gripping his Keyblade. "I want that blade of yours, that Keyblade you possess..." she said and gave out a cold smile.

["Hesitation"]

"Who are you?" asked Sora. Her empty eyes looked at Sora. "I am Tsukuyomi. I trained in the same style that Miss Sakurazaki has learned, Shinmei Style," she said. Negi suddenly pointed at Tsukuyomi. "She's that one girl that was with that other woman, trying to kidnap Konoka!" he yelled. Sora turned and she dashed to him, ready to strike at him with two blades. Sora jumped back and barely dodged the attack. He grasped his Keyblade and both Setsuna and Negi ran to Sora's side. "We'll back you up!" said Setsuna. Sora nodded.

["Dance to the Death"]

"Three against one?" she asked, "This'll be fun."

INFORMATION:
With Setsuna and Negi's help, defeat Tsukuyomi!

Sora ran with Setsuna and Negi following behind. Tsukuyomi began her flurry of attacks and attacked Negi. Negi took a hit and was sent flying back. Sora looked and he ran to Negi but was soon stopped as Tsukuyomi appeared in front of him. Setsuna drew her blade quickly and attacked the girl, only to have her attacks parried. Sora jumped for an overhead attack and Tsukuyomi quickly let one of her blades counter Sora's attack, making him jump back. "Sagitta magica, series lucis!" yelled Negi as he invoked his spell. Tsukuyomi struck the light spears and a pair went to each person. Sora managed to dodge the light spears. Negi and Setsuna had been struck and Tsukuyomi began to laugh. "Well, Miss Sakurazaki. It seems you haven't trained enough," she said. Negi and Setsuna were weak to stand up. "So you managed to miss the reflected spell..." she said, looking at Sora. I'm on my own. I'll have to keep the two out of the fight... Sora thought. Tsukuyomi kept her assault of attacks on Sora. He blocked every hit Tsukuyomi delivered, until he let his guard down, causing him to cover. Tsukuyomi readied her blades to slice Sora. "LIGHT!" he yelled and a force pushed Tsukuyomi back. She looked as Sora had his attire in a different color other than black. Setsuna and Negi witnessed as Sora had now wielded two Keyblades, The Oathkeeper on his left hand and the Fateful Encounter on his right hand. He posed in his own fighting stance. "Two Keyblades? This is getting to be more interesting!" said Tsukuyomi.

["Desire for All That Is Lost"]

INFORMATION:
Defeat Tsukuyomi! Press ▲ at the right time to counterattack!

Sora moved swiftly towards Tsukuyomi and attacked her. He managed to strike her and send her in the air. He struck with both Keyblades and he made a cross, with the final hit slamming her back to the ground. Tsukuyomi recovered and dashed to Sora, raising her blades in the air.

PRESS!
▲[Counter Blade]

Sora used both Keyblades to counter Tsukuyomi's attack. She staggered and Sora jumped in the air, landing with a strike from both Keyblades to the ground and creating a shockwave, making Tsukuyomi fly in the air. Sora jumped into the air and followed with another flurry of attacks ending it with the Omega Cross. Tsukuyomi landed and Sora dashed to Tsukuyomi. She quickly regained her balance and dashed to him as well. The two crossed blades and staggered.

PRESS!

Sora and Tsukuyomi both regained their posture and attacked each other, with the sound of metal clanging and the two ended in a power struggle.

PRESS!
▲[Sonic Upper]

Sora slid the two Keyblades and Tsukuyomi tumbled towards him. With his Oathkeeper in reverse hold, he struck Tsukuyomi and sent her flying upward.

PRESS!
▲[Omega Finale]

Sora jumped and he spun, with streams of light left behind from the Keyblades' strokes. Tsukuyomi felt each hit as Sora kept his combo. With the final diagonal slashes, he spun vertically and struck Tsukuyomi down. "Impressive..." she said.

BONUS OBTAINED!
Learned "Rising Sun"!
Strength Up!

Sora's red attire reverted back to its black coloring, and the Oathkeeper disappeared. Tsukuyomi stood up and there was a sudden silence. Tsukuyomi was split in half and there was yet another Tsukuyomi. "What the—?" said Setsuna watching as the Tsukuyomi they fought split in half. It turned into a Neoshadow and there was a tag on its face, both split and it disintegrated. Negi and Setsuna ran to Sora. "I knew there was something off from her," said Setsuna. The real Tsukuyomi stood and looked at Sora. "It was really fun to watch you fight, Sora," said Tsukuyomi. She walked back and three more people appeared. Chigusa, Fate and the mysterious being were with Tsukuyomi.

["Organization XIII"]

Sora noticed the figure. "You! Are you from Organization XIII?" yelled Sora. The figure only showed to give a cold smile. Chigusa looked at Negi. "Well, well, if it isn't the Westerner brat who spoiled my plans... and then there's that other one, the ancient priestess's guardian," said Chigusa, pushing up her round glasses and giving a cold look to the three, "thanks to you, Sora, the Heartless and the Nobodies are great assets to our plans." "You're the one who brought them here?" yelled Sora. "As a matter of fact, it wasn't you but it was our... 'friend'..." said Chigusa, with the figure nodding slowly. Negi invoked his spell. "Aer capturae!" he yelled and light streams flowed from his staff. The streams reached the four and it trapped them. Negi smiled in victory, but the figure snapped it fingers and the spell faded. "What?" Negi looked in surprised. "And you're the Thousand Master's son? That's laughable," said Chigusa and laughed. The three walked into a portal and the figure turned. It pointed at Negi, then Sora, and lastly Setsuna. "All of you will lose something precious," he said, "soon you will know despair..." "What's that supposed to mean?" asked Sora. "Who are you?" asked Negi. The figure turned. "My name... is Xagin," he said and walked into the portal. Sora and the others looked as he walked into the portal. Sora made the Keyblade disappear and the other looked around. Evangeline appeared and looked as the three were puzzled. "Sora, the dean wants you and the others back..." she said. Sora, Negi and Setsuna walked into the portal.

Secret Place
Destiny Islands

Kairi walked in, and she slowly approached the drawing of Sora and her sharing a Paopu fruit. She sat and placed her hand on Sora's face. "Sora..." she said smiling. She heard steps behind her. She turned, "Rik-" and everything went black. Xagin picked up the unconscious Kairi and he opened a portal, but Riku entered the place.

["Disquieting"]

"You! Put Kairi down!" yelled Riku, as he summoned his Keyblade, the Way to the Dawn. Xagin, turned to him, with the unconscious Kairi on his shoulder. "You must be the Keyblade wielder's friend, are you not...?" he asked. Riku gripped his Keyblade, "who wants to know?" "Let's just say... he's just not enough..." he said, giving a cold smile to Riku. "What did you do to him?" asked Riku. Xagin walked to the portal. Riku followed and stepped in, just in time before the portal closed...
