(BlazBlue - Rebellion Extended)
The battle in the square was going pretty well. Ragna slashed at the soldiers with great ease. One tried to jump him from behind, but it found itself knocked into the barrier via roundhouse kick.
On the opposite side of the square Sora was holding his ground nicely. A soldier tried to hit him with it's claws, but the kid side stepped it killed it with one good hit.
Two more rushed at him only for him to parry one of them and push it into the other one. He then jumped over them and ended them by cutting threw them at the same time.
Even the duck and dog were doing good. Despite having just a shield to fight with the dog managed to take done a good number of the dark creatures. He'd bash a few of them with his shield
while blocking there attacks at the same time. When 4 of them started charging at him he threw his shield like a Frisbee which bounced off the walls and decapitate the soldiers before returning to his hand in time to block another attack.
Meanwhile the duck was shooting spells left and right at the dark monsters. He took down one with a fireball and another with an ice attack. 5 of them surround him from all sides.
Before they could attack him however he held up his staff and called down 5 lightening bolts which took the monsters out in an instant. After words he used a healing spell to help the other recover.
"Gotta admit! You two know how to fight!" Ragna said has he cut a heartless in half with Blood-Scythe and grabbing another with his left arm and snapping it's neck.
"Thanks." The dog said smashing another Heartless's face with his shield. "Your pretty strong two. ahuck." A soldier almost managed to hit him only to be taking out by Sora.
The last three Heartless tried to go after Sora who managed to take out two of them, but the last one managed to knock him down. It was about to strike again, but was stabbed from behind by Ragna.

"Thanks Ragna." Sora said taking Ragna's Extended hand and getting up. As the four of them examined the square they notice some is wrong.
"Why hasn't the barrier gone down?" The duck asks looking puzzled. The others looked around to see if they missed an enemy. Ragna tried to break the barrier with Blood-scythe, but it didn't do a thing.
Sora looked up and his eyes widened.
"Guys heads up!" He cried. The other three looked up in time to see what Sora was looking at.
(Cue Destiny's Force extended)
Falling from the sky were giant pieces of purple armor. The arms and legs floated at the parts it would have connected as did the head. It had that weird emblem that the soldiers had.
"Oh you've gotta be f$& ing kidding me!" Ragna cursed. Sora, the duck, and the dog looked at him with wide eyes and dropped jaws. Suddenly the armors right arm shot out at the group.
They all managed to dodge it by jumping in different directions. Ragna charged at the armor. With a battle cry he jumped at it and brought Blood-Scythe down at it,
but the armor managed to block it with it's left hand before recalling it's right one and punching Ragna into a wall.
"Ragna!" Sora cried as he charged at the armor. The duck shot fireballs at the armor to keep it's attention away from Sora. Meanwhile Sora charged in and began attacking it left foot.
The dog rush in and began attacking it as well. While it was hard to tell the armor was taking damage. especially from the Keyblade. It lifted it's foot to crush the two attacking it.
When it brought it down Sora and the dog moved out of the way in time, but while Sora managed to roll back onto his feet the dog landed on his belly. Before the dog could get back up the armor moved it's foot over him.
"Goofy!" The duck cried out. As the armor brought it's foot down to crush the dog Goofy a black serpent came out of nowhere and crushed the giant foot in it's mouth.
Everyone including the armor turned towards where it came. Sure enough Ragna was standing up looking more pissed off the hurt.
"I'm not done with you yet tin man!" He yelled at the armor. Said armor shot it's left arm to strike the reaper again, but before it got close Goofy got back up and threw his shield at the arm causing it to shift in the air and crash just a few inches from Ragna.
Ragna took this chance and brought Blood-Scythe down on the arm destroying it. Now it only had it's right arm and right leg left.
"Alright Ragna!" Sora cried as he, Goofy, and the Duck ran up to join him. As soon as they were together the Armor changed tactics. His remaining arm and leg separated and went after the them.
"Now what?!" The duck asked as he and Goofy ran from the foot while Ragna and Sora avoid the fists attack. Sora looked between the arm and leg and the torso.
"I've got an idea, but it's a little crazy." Sora said.
"Then it should work." Ragna said with a grin which Sora returned. Sora turned to Goofy and the duck.
"Hey! Can you guys take care of his last two pieces while we deal with the main body?" The duck and Goofy looked at one another then back to Sora and nodded. They stopped running and charged at the foot.
Ragna and Sora got at a good distance from the main body. Sora stood ahead of Ragna and got ready to sprint to him. "Think you can make the shot?" Sora asked Ragna who got Blood-scythe ready.
"Can I?" Ragna said with a chuckle. Sora looked at him for a few seconds.
"Can you-"
"Of course I can!" Ragna waited for the armor to move into a good position. The armor shifted a few inches. "Now!" Sora ran towards Ragna with his Keyblade in hand.
Suddenly the arm came flying at Sora attempting to strike him. Before it could however it was paralyzed by a Lightning bolt followed by a strike from a shield that destroyed it.
When Sora got closer Ragna spun around just as Sora leaped at him and landed on the side of Ragna's sword.
"Here. You. Go!" Ragna said as he swung Blood-Scythe with all his might sending Sora stright at the armor. Before it could react Sora slashed at it's middle with his Keyblade cutting it in half.
(end music)
The Heartless armor fell and began to fade. Before it completely faded a heart came out of it and vanished into thin air. Sora was on his hands and knees panting.
Suddenly a hand was extended in his line of sight. He looked up to see Ragna with a grin on his face.
"Nice moves kid." He said. Sora smiled back his he excepted Ragna's hand and stood up. Goofy and the duck wizard joined them just as the barrier finally came down.
"So you guys where looking for me?" Sora asked the two animal guys. After they battle the duck and dog explained to Sora and Ragna that there king Mickey (who Ragna had to resist laughing at the name)
Left to try and find away to stop the Heartless. Before he left he gave wrote them a letter that told them to find the one who wields the key that could save the worlds from darkness.
"U-huh." Goofy said nodding."
"They two have been seeking the wielder of the keyblade." Leon said after he just arrived with Yuffie and Aerith.
"Hey why don't you come with us?" Goofy asked. "We can go to other worlds on our vessel." Sora looked down with a saddened expression.
"I wonder if I could find Riku and Kairi...?" He asked in a somber voice.
"Of course." The duck said causing Sora to look up with hope in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" Goofy whispered to his feathered companion.
"Who knows? But we need him to come with us to help us find the king." Unknown to them Ragna heard everything they said. He looked at them with a not so friendly glare.
"Sora go with them." Leon said. "Especially if you want to find your friends." Sora looked down at the ground.
"Yeah. I guess." Was all he said. Leon turned to the Grim Reaper.
"What about you Ragna? What will you do?" Ragna thought for a moment. "If You don't know then can I ask you to go with them?" Ragna looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"I hate to admit it, but your a much better fighter then I am. If you can help Sora get stronger on your journey then it would make it that much easier to get your worlds back."
Ragna looked at Sora. Despite not really knowing him he knew he was a good kid with a good heart. He also didn't really trust the other two very much.
"A what the hell. I suppose I could tag along to make sure they don't get themselves killed." Ragna said. Sora looked at him with a small smile.
"Ok, but you can't come along looking like that. Understand?" The duck said. The others looked a the wizard with confused looks. "No frowning. No sad face ok?"
"Yeah you gotta look funny like us." Goofy joined in when he figured out what his friend was doing.
"This boat runs on happy faces."
"Happy? Sora said sounding depressed. Everyone looked at him with concerned looks. Suddenly he lifted his head to reveal a weird looking smile.
After a few seconds he let it drop when he noticed that everyone was staring at him. Suddenly Goofy and the duck started laughing.
Ragna thought it was weird, but even he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ok your turn." Goofy said pointing to Ragna who stopped laughing and looked at them funny.
"Huh?" He said not really understanding what they wanted.
"Now you smile." The magic duck stated. Ragna looked at the three guys who stared at him waiting to see him crack a grin.
"Uh no I uh."
"Just think of something that makes you happy." Sora suggested. Ragna crossed his arms and closed his eyes to think.
"Something that makes me happy huh?" He started thinking. He thought about Terumi crying in pain at his feet. He thought about punching Relius masked face in and about Phantom Struggling in fear as he held her by the throat. Ragna let out an evil chuckle while he smiled an evil smile. Sora and the others looked at him in fear.
"Uh on second thought I think your good." The duck said to afraid to ask what he was thinking of. Ragna snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat.
Suddenly Yuffie busted out laughing which earned her an confused look from the others
"Oh man you should see the look on your faces hahahaha!" Sora, Goofy and the duck looked at one another before laughing as well. As he watched the three Ragna couldn't help remember his childhood.
Growing up with the sister with his siblings Jin and Saya.
"Now that's a smile." Goofy said. Ragna didn't even realize it, but while he was remembering his past he let a warm smile grace his face.
"Well looks like the four of us will be traveling together from now on." Sora said with the others nodding in agreement.
"Donald Duck!" The duck mage finally introduced himself while placing his hand out.
"Names Goofy!" The dog knight officially introduced himself sticking his hand out as well.
"I'm Sora." The Keyblade wielder said placing his hand out as well. The three of them looked at Ragna who rolled his eyes.
"Ragna." He said placing his hand on top of there's.
"All for one and one for all!" Goofy cheered. So the four of them agreed to journey together to find the king and restore there worlds.
'Hang on guys. I'll make things right.' Ragna promised.
(meanwhile)
In different world a young boy was laying on the ground. He wore a yellow shirt with blue pants and big shoes. This boy was Riku. One of Sora's missing friends.
As he began to stir he looked. He was on one of several floating platforms surrounded by a massive waterfall.
"Where am I?" He asked himself. The last thing he remembered was darkness enveloping him and- suddenly his eyes widened. He looked around again in desperation.
"Sora! Kairi!" He cried looking for his friends. Suddenly he heard a groan nearby. He went to investigate. When he got to where he heard the groaning he found a man beginning to stand.
"You ok?!" He asked rushing over to the man. He tried to help him up, but he pushed him away.
"Get back!" The man yelled. Riku stepped back a bit. He took a look at the man. He wore what looked like a military uniform with a black turtleneck and leggings under a white Japanese-style tunic, white gloves, military boots, and a "jolting sapphire" colored jacket with a red lining and very long, detached sleeves.
At his side was a long sword in it's sheath.
"Take it easy. I'm only trying to help." The man didn't respond as he was busy trying to calm his headache.
"Where am I?" He asked the kid in front of him. Riku shrugged.
"Don't know. Been wondering that myself." The man began tryin to remember what happened.
'Last thing I remember was shadows swarming over me. I remember looking up at the sky and seeing-' Suddenly his eyes widened. "Brother!"
"Wait what?" Riku asked confused.
"I remember. My brother was taken by those dark abominations." He stood up. "I must find him." He tried to walk, but he didn't have enough strength. He was about to collapse, but Riku managed to catch him in time.
"Easy there. I lost my friends to. Maybe we should look for them together." The man didn't want to baby sit some kid he just met, but something told him he didn't have much of a choice.
"Tch. Fine." He said pushing himself away to stand on his own.
"My names Riku. What yours."
"Jin Kisaragi."
"Well Jin. First things first. We gotta figure out where we are." Little did the two know they where being watched by a woman in a black cloak wielding a staff. She had horns sticking out of her head.
She looked at the two with an evil grin.
