Ed looked directly into the Darkside's eyes, not backing down he prepared his keyblade. His life was already worthless, who would miss him anyways. He's never truly had an impact in anyone's life, but perhaps this one act would. In this one moment, Ed felt like he truly mattered, that his life was worth something. His life decided the fate of the girl wounded behind him. Ed would not give up, instead his fear turned into excitement. It was all or nothing. This one moment decided his life, living as one of the best, or dying a hero. Their was no downside to this Darkside.
As the Darkside slammed its fist down Ed swung his keyblade at full force...Nothing happened. Ed felt as if he had just struck air, as he opened his eyes and looked up, he saw something truly amazing. The Darksides hand was completely gone off, it had disappeared. Did Ed do this, did he always have this power?
Just when Ed was getting excited a ray of light hit his eyes. As he looked up into the sky he saw an angel, right in the light. The Angle fell down to the ground, but it was no Angel. As it was fully covered in armor, and held a massive Keyblade. The Keyblade was known as the Olympia, and it seemed to have been at max upgrade. The soldier turned towards Ed, and held his Keyblade to his heart.
"Ha Ha HAHA HA, I am the valiant Arthur, Keyblade Master. I fight for justice and for the everlasting light. I hope I haven't arrived to fashionably late!" Ed just fell to his knees. From both his heart finally pumping again after he just realized how close he was to death, and also he couldn't take Arthur seriously. His voice was as stereotypical as all heroic types come. But thank god he did, still was he really strong enough to destroy a Darkside's arm in 1 blow.
Arthur used a potion on the girl, then quickly turned around to notice the Darkside using the darkness it emanated to regrow its hand. He swung down his Keyblade, "HA, time to finish the job...FOR JUSTICE!" He charged in, shaking the ground as he launched himself forward on one foot, faking the beast out by jumping over it instead of directly assaulting it. He was truly amazing, even if he did sound a bit silly.
The girl got back up and looked around, "Where is everyone?" Ed didn't know how to answer her, how could he break the news her whole team got slaughtered in seconds. She still had that blank look on her face as if nothing happened, "So they all died then?" Ed could only shake his head at her response. After a moment of silence she summoned her keyblade, which was a maxed out Lady Luck. Before Ed could speak she disappeared, Ed just fell back down at this. He turned back and saw she was charging the heartless, circling around it at lightning speeds. Ed could hardly keep his eye on her. She slaughter all the Shadows surround the Darkside in a matter of seconds.
Ed stood up with amazement, watching Arthurs unlimited power and the girls extreme speed. This made Ed feel even less of a hero then he already was, he couldn't compare to these two, he figured he should leave while he had the chance, but before he turned around Arthur got smacked out of the air, he landed on his feet and launched himself backwards. The Darkside then began summoning pools of darkness on the ground, Arthur managed to dodge them all, then he went for an assault, launching himself at the Darkside, but as he went forward a few shadows jumped at him and slowed him down, and while he was distracted the Darkside grabbed him with both hands.
The Girl saw this and took her chance to attack, but was caught off guard and was hit by a shadow and she landed in a pool of darkness, unable to move. Ed watched in horror as the last 2 people left were about to die just like the others. Ed debated on staying, or running. But honestly, what could he do these two couldn't?
