Alrighty ladies and gentlemen I have a couple announcements. One my idea for this is if it were in game is to give the player the option to decide what character they want to control in each fight (with the exception of the fights that are one v one). Then before beginning a menu would then appear allowing you to review that character's abilities, items etc. You cannot switch characters once the battle has started. Two, the flashback chapters I mentioned earlier will be coming soon, more info on that later.
Also want to thank Imagine 97 for the favorite! Also I want to give a shoutout to Ashg1989, thank you again for the follows/favorites.
May your heart be your guiding key
Sora stopped for a moment to take a rest and gather some supplies from the moogle shop. Finally rested and stocked he moved forward. Once they'd gone in the maze, walls had started popping up everywhere creating corridors and splitting them up. Sora had lost touch with the others, but there was no way he was going to let that deter him. With everything he needed, he moved forward to the next area.
Aqua stood, sizing up Larxene curiously who was laughing hysterically, "You act like you're seeing a ghost, what's the matter?" Aqua squinted "You took away my friend, that's what." Larxene rolled her eyes "Oh pleaaaaaase, cry me a river seems like your loverboys just fine" Aqua frowned "He's not my loverboy….take that back now!" Larxene giggled "Or what? You afraid I'm gonna steal him from you again?"
Meanwhile Terra and Luxord were having a discussion of their own. "Do you want to play a game?" Terra squinted "I've had enough games, this ends now" Luxord smirked "So you think" "Terra! Aqua!" they turned to see Sora rushing inside. "Sora! Get out of here, these two are ours" Aqua said. Sora eyes grew wide "You sure?" Terra nodded "Go help the others, we've got this" he hesitated before giving a nod and rushing towards the next area. Aqua turned her attention to Larxene who faked a yawn "All this talking is cramping my style" Luxord smirked "Well then a game sounds like-" Larxene cut him off "A game? What are you a kid? Play your games with her loverboy here, I want a real fight" Luxord smirked "Fine then, have it your way" right then and there, Aqua snapped and the battle began.
"Stop calling him that!" she said charging towards Larxene who promptly shook her head, and teleported out of the way, reappearing 3 stories up. "Come and get me" Aqua immediately flew up to where she was. Larxene summoned all of her knives "Let the boys have their fun down there, now then where were we? Oh right, I was talking about your-" Aqua cut her off, charging into her head on once more. Larxene smirked, leaping above her head "Too slow" front flipping her whole body she threw one of her knives into Aqua's shoulder, causing her to scream out in pain as electricity coursed through her body.
She teleported out of the way but before she could heal "What's the matter?" Aqua moved to turn around, but not before Larxene sent her flying with a spinning low kick. Aqua screamed in pain again as her body was thrown towards the ground, she took a breath and teleported clear to the other side of the battle field. Quickly healing she fired several beams of fire before cartwheeling out of the way as Larxene threw several more knives at her. Then in a flash Larxene was on her again, Aqua smirked and with her body still upside down she struck Larxene. Hard.
Larxene hissed in pain before teleporting away again, firing off several bolts of electricity. Aqua used reflect again and again, before disappearing completely. When she reappeared, her body began to twirl, firing out orb after orb of white light. Larxene leapt out of the way and headed to face Aqua head on, dodging some but not all of the orbs. Just as she was about to make impact, Aqua disappeared again. When she reappeared, there was not just one of her but many. Larxene smirked and using magic, summoned lightning from the clouds firing off several bolts again and again obliterating the copies. Using reflect Aqua was able to avoid them all, then she spun around to see no one there.
Then to her shock and awe, a dozen Larxenes surrounded her and began throwing their electrified knives towards her. There's no way I can dodge them all, and if I refect….suddenly an idea came to her. "Absorbaga!" a deep blue oval surrouned her whole body, and as the knives impacted it they simply disappeared. Larxene frowned in confusion consolidating herself into one person once more, what's- before she could finish that thought, Aqua's whole body began to glow blue. "I told you not to call him that." Holding her Keyblade above her head, she fired off a yellow beam which upon hitting the cloud began showering the battlefield with Larxene's electrified knives. Larxene attemted to dodge and reflect, allowing Aqua to move in for the final hit. Spinning her body around she swung her Keyblade into Larxene's body as hard as she could, causing her to crash down to the ground.
Aqua floated downward, her ears picking up the fight between Terra and Luxord. "Are….are you kidding?" Larxene stammered, Aqua smiled "You'll be recompleted now" "I didn't ask for your opinion blue hair! I lost! To a loser like you! But…could be worse. Become that geezer's heart tank? No thanks." Soon her body began disintegrating into pieces of darkness. Aqua frowned, "Then why help him?" she smirked "I was really just along for the ride." "With who?" she sighed and put a finger to her lips "My secret" before Aqua could say anymore, Larxene's body disappeared.
Terra and Luxord stood in a silent standoff, eyeing one another curiously before Luxord smirked "A shame…..I liked you much better before" he said pulling out several cards in his hand before throwing them in the air. Using his powerful magic, he soon summoned enough cards to surround Terra completely. "Terra, one final game. The rules are simple, all you have to do is find me among these cards and strike me down" suddenly he snapped his fingers and a flash of light blinded Terra's vision. When his eyes adjusted, Luxord had vanished. "Right here" suddenly the cards spun around rapidly before suddenly coming to a hault. Terra instantly jumped into action, pummeling various cards with spell after spell, but it was to no avail.
Then Luxord fired several cards at him, causing him to yell out in pain before dodging out of the way. Pull it together Terra! He launched his body forward, swigning his Keyblade into another one. Again, empty. "Over here!" yet more cards surrounded him once again. Terra tried again, this time getting the right one, causing Luxord to reappear in human form. Terra went all out, utilizing Meteor Crash to deal a stunning amount of damage to Luxord, who was barely able to change back to card form before Terra could get another hit in. "Live Dangerously Terra, there's no time for-" he stopped as Terra began wailing on him once more.
He'd finally figured out the trick, the front of the cards was the same the back of the cards were all white, except for one which had an image of Luxord on the back. On it went, Terra would get a few hits in, Luxord would disappear shuffling the cards and it would start all over again. Terra used every magic spell imaginable, including dark firaga, thundaga, and even quake. "You…..cannot defeat-" "Watch me! MEGA FLARE!" suddenly an explosive white fireball shot out from Terra's Keyblade, hitting Luxord square in the chest.
Luxord lay on the ground, panting for breath, "You were born for these sorts of games" Terra sighed "Not your kind of games" he smirked "Silly boy...do me a favor?" Terra frowned "Why should I do you any favors?" Luxord chuckled and looked up to him once more "Take good care of her" then a split second later his body vanished into darkness. "Terra" he turned around to see Aqua standing there, when did she get so beautiful? "Aqua, are you hurt?" she shook her head "No I'm fine, we should help the others" he nodded, and followed her into the next area.
Sora hustled through the corridors, solving a few puzzles along the way before finally reaching the next area. King Mickey summoned his Keyblade in readiness. Across the battlefield Marluxia smirked "Give it up, this can only end one way" he shook his head "Forget about it, there's no way you're getting off that easy. There's only one way this ends, by light triumphing over darkness"
"Your majesty" he turned to see Sora running up to him. "Let me help you" King Mickey shook his head "I've got this covered, you go on ahead" "But your majesty-" "Sora! That's an order! Now go!" he exclaimed. Sora took a breath "Right!" they watched as he continued to the next area before turning their attention back towards the enemy.
Marluxia struck first, throwing his scythe at the king who front flips out of the way avoiding it. The scythe then returns to Marluxia just as Mickey moved in to strike him. However Marluxia held out his hand, calling his scythe back in the nick of time to block the king's efforts. Marluxia leapt upward off the ground, before slamming back down at full force. The impact created a shockwave which knocked the king back several feet, causing painful injuries. He then leapt forward aiming to finish the king off in one hit, but Mickey wouldn't have it. Just before impact, Mickey jumped up in the air out of the way before leaping back down to hit Marluxia from above.
On and on the fight went, back and forth they swung and fired at each other, the king managed to get quite a few hits in, taking out several bars of Marluxia's health. Even though he tried to play it off, the king's constant jumping around was starting to make him feel fatigued and he soon found himself gasping for air, "You're a bit more powerful then I thought" King Mickey frowned "Alright, time to end this" "What with more backflips? That's no gonna-" suddenly Mickey leapt up higher than he had during the whole battle.
"Stopza!" Marluxia attempted to leap out of the way, but it was too late. He froze in place unable to run away "Better make this quick" he leapt towards Marluxia at lightning speed. As he grew near, the spell wore off and Marluxia turned to block him, but it was too late. The king smashed into him at full force, causing a shockwave of energy so strong, it broke Marluxia's scythe in half while dealing the final blow.
Mickey landed on his feet just in front of Marluxia's rapidly disappearing body, just as the two halves of his weapon disappeared. "Oh…so now it all comes back to me" he laughed slightly. Mickey smiled "Gosh, are you really laughing" "Yes….My heart is remembering how to feel." "Gosh, I'm sorry it took all this" "Its alright, now I am on the cusp of reclaiming my identity….my purpose for being. Thanks to you, Mickey" before the king could respond, Marluxia's body became surrounded by darkness and he disappeared.
"Your majesty!" Mickey turned to see Donald and Goofy running up to him. "You alright?" Goofy asked, he nodded "I'm fine, are you guys ok?" Donald nodded "We got lost, this place is a maze" "Gosh Donald, I told you we shoulda went right not left" Donald scoffed "Oh what do you know?!" Mickey smiled "I'm just glad you're alright, now come on we've gotta go and meet up with the others" they all nodded, and moved into the next area.
Just want to clarify in case anyone missed it, Luxord was referring to Aqua when he said that last line . Let me know what ya'll think of the fights so far. See ya in the next chapter!
