"What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow of defiance, "You want me to what?" Xehanort scowls at me and I cross my arms. "Are you hard of hearing, boy?" he asks. I roll my eyes, "No, are you?" Young Xehanort glares at me and I snicker, "Got something to say, has-been?" "What was that, replicated-loser?" he asks, tilting his head lightly. I laugh, "Wow, never thought I'd hear you insult with the same material I do!" "Enough of these games, Vanitas. You must be serious now." says Xehanort.
I face the old man with boredom. "And what must I do again?" I asked, my eyes narrowed with challenge. "You must get rid of the Key Bearers." he says. "All of them?" I scoff, as if I can't handle it, which so isn't the case here. "Yes. I have grown tired of them, and we no longer have use for them." he says. I give him a are-you-dumb-as-hell? look and he frowns.
"You do need them to forge the True X-Blade, you old coot." I say. "remember who you are speaking to." says Young Xehanort coolly, his eyes menacing. I roll my eyes again, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Young Xehanort continues to glare and I continue to ignore him. Xehanort clears his throat. "I have found a way around that." he says. "And that is?" I ask.
"The True X-Blade can be created by collecting all of the Seven Princesses of Heart's hearts." he explains. I raise an eyebrow, "Is that so?" He nods. "Then why not just let me do that? We'll kill those brats after the blade is forged anyway." I say. "Because they still cause a problem. So I need you to get rid of them for us." he says. Hah, "us", he thinks I don't know he's only thinking of himself.. The old coot is worthless.
"Whatever. I got it. I'll do it." I sighed, waving my hand, creating a corridor of Darkness behind me. "Do not fail me, Vanitas. If you fail this time, you might as well not even come back." he threatens. I roll my eyes, "Whatever." Like I'd actually want to come back here. Hah, yeah right. I turn, ignoring the stares bored into my back by Young Xehanort and Xehanort, not to mention the entire New Organization behind them. Such fool. I'm gone through the corridor not a second later.
Once into what used to be Hollow Bastion I take a look around, certain I'd find the losers here somewhere. I knew they'd be here soon. So I kept walking and waiting, trying to find them, trying to lure them here, so I could kill every last one of them once and for all. Finally, after about half an hour I see the riders start to appear in the sky. Let the game begin.
"About time you showed up." i mocked, snickering at them. They just glare at me, which causes me to laugh. "You're all so worthless!" I said. "Shut up!" Roxas growls. I turn to him, a big sneer across my face, "You're the most worthless of them all, dear little Roxie." His left eye twitches. "What did you just call me?!" he growls. I laugh, "You have the worst temper too." "I'll show you who has a temper." growls Terra. I ignore him on purpose.
"Enough of the insults," growls Ventus, "You brought us here for a reason, now what was it?" "Ah, but I love to insult you guys! Not to mention torture you too!" I laughed, "It's just so much fun to watch you squirm while I kill all those you cared about!" "You're sick!" growls Sora. "And you're as good as dead." I smiled in a mock sweetening way. He clenches his fists and Riku grabs his shoulder, shaking his head at Sora. Sora huffs and looks away from me. This just got better, now to really set him off!
"And you know what, Sora?" I laugh, he looks at me with hate in his eyes and I grin bigger and continue, "Your little princess will be so easy to kill once I'm done with you, or, I'll get rid of her first, and make you watch. How does that feel?" Sora roars and his Keyblade appears and he runs at me and I summon my X-Blade and I run at him laughing as he comes at me.
"Sora, no!" screams Kairi, summoning her Keyblade and following after him. "Kairi!" gasps Riku, summoning his blade and following her. Then the other five follow them, Keyblades in hand. It's begun. I block Sora's first attack and shoot him with darkness with my free hand and he jumps back, trying to gain footing as the Darkness seeps into his heart.
I laugh, "You all die here!" "Yeah right!" growls Roxas. I laugh and shoot at him. He blocks with one of his Keyblades and shoots light at me with the other one. I block his attack with a laugh and he comes running at me. Lea shoots fire at me and I dodge those while still shooting at Sora, who jumps over and around my shots.
"Sora!" gasps Riku, running to the brunette who looks just like me. I frown, Sora's becoming consumed in Darkness. I didn't shoot him that much, that shouldn't be happening. I better stop him before he gets out of hand. I aim my blade carefully at him and narrow my eyes, aiming right for his heart. I prepare the beam of Darkness as it forms at the tip of my blade, preparing to kill him right here and now.
"Guys!" gasps Ventus, "He's gonna shoot Sora!" "No he's not!" says Aqua, making her way over to me. I steadily raise my arm at her and shoot her with Darkness, knocking her across the room. "Aqua!" gasps Terra, who then glares at me. The Darkness beam is complete, so I take my aim and shoot. The Darkness makes a quick shot right to Sora.
Only, it doesn't hit him. It hits Ventus. Right as the beam got to Sora, Sora looks up and gasps, returning to his light form, which he needs to stay in because he can't control the Darkness, and Ventus runs up and gets right in front of him and the Darkness strikes his heart and his eyes widen and start to go empty.
"Ventus!" everyone yells at once. I only smirk, "Serves him right." I aim my blade at Riku next, not needing to charge up, I just shoot, shoot, shoot, and shoot at everyone. The mostly dodge or block, but Riku throws me attack right back at me, which I just diminish. "Ven!" cries Aqua, picking him half way up off the floor, "Ven, can you hear me?!"
I roll my eyes and run at the group. Lea is the first to react so he shoots fire at me and I knock the flames away like they are nothing, and really they are, and I lock blades with him. "You were better off being a Nobody, at least then you would have had a purpose." I sneered. "I had a purpose." he growls, "Xion."
"Oh that's right," I laughed, "I tricked her friends into killing her. I wish I could have seen your face when you found her dead, Axel." I laugh more at the end and he growls, pushing against me with strength I didn't know he even had. But I'm stronger, and I push back farther, and soon enough he falls to the floor but then jumps away from me as I go to shoot him with Darkness.
I jump away from them and begin to rise into the air. They all watched me then. "You pathetic souls!" I laugh, "I'll show you the true meaning of pain!" They all stand, except for Aqua, who still holds Ventus, and summon Keyblades, if they had let theirs fall or disappear. I smile, "Make this fun, otherwise you weren't worth the time it took to track you down and drag you here."
From the way Riku glares up at me, I know he was forming a plan, a plan I won't let come into action, because I'm taking him out first. The Sora, then their little princess, then Terra, Veni Boy, if he isn't already under, and Aqua. I'll save Lea for last so I can make him suffer for his insolence. Oh, please, make this worth the wait I had to go through not unleashing my full powers.
I see Terra look at Riku, Riku looks back and nods. Now I know, Terra's the first part of the plan. No matter, Riku's my real target. Terra runs for me and I shoot him then fly at Riku, who jumps back, and Sora jumps in front of him and shoots Light at me, which I knock away like it's nothing and I clash weapons with Riku, though I'm above him, so I have the, oh what a stupid pun, upper hand. Heh.. He's done for now.
I push down more, surging my Darkness into the X-Blade. Riku grits his teeth and tries to keep me up, but I push down too hard and he starts to kneel. I laugh as my Darkness starts to engulf his weapon and he gasps in frustration and fear, his eyes widening then narrowing. "Ack!" he grits his teeth and I push him to the ground, allowing me to actually stand, not float, over him.
"Just give up." I say, "There is no way any of you can win now. Don't you know that? I've been given the order to kill you all, that means I no longer have to hold back." "Hold back?" he asks, "You mean to tell me all those fights we've had with you, you were always holding back your true strength?" "That's right." I grin, "And you still lost. None of you stand a chance now.
"We won't give up." he vows. "You don't have to." I laugh, "You'll all die anyway, what will it matter if you dpt' give up? You still die, Riku. Can't you see that now? You've led all your friends to their deaths." "shut up!" he growls, pushing me back with a sudden surge of energy. I gasped, then grinned as I see the Darkness swirling around him, "So it's true." "What?" he growls. "You have yet to have locked Ansem away." I grin.
"That's my business." he growls. "Oh no," I smirk, "It's mine. the Darkness is my domain, poor boy. You'll never win, even with Ansem's Darkness, it will never be enough. You. can't. Win!" I run at him and he holds his weapon up, ready to block. I get to him and he goes to block me and I quickly swing down under his guard and swing my blade back up, cutting into his chest. I grin again as his Darkness fades back inside his body, "Like I said, idiot. You will never be enough."
"Riku!" gasps Kairi. "You don't know that, Vanitas." Riku says through gritted teeth, "You think you know things, and in truth you don't. You're nothing but a child." "I'm the child?" I laugh, "Look which one of us is afraid of the Dark!" "I'm not afraid." he growls. I grin mischievously "Then release it, release it all, show me your true power!" He looks me dead in the eyes then and says, with the face of a demon, "I will. And I'll kill you."
