A/N: This battle I'm thinking of re-using in special episodes connecting and set in between the main stories of the Continuum such as Kingdom Hearts: Crisis Core, Kingdom Hearts: Before Crisis, ect.

I only own my OCs. Loran is based on the Grovyle character from another fanfic story, "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Realms of Iniquity". The rest belong to Toei/Naoko Takeuchi, Disney, Square Enix, Dreamworks, CLAMP, Nintendo/Pokemon Company, and 20th Century Fox/Blue Skies.


Secret Battle: Golbez.

Between Chapter 19 and Chapter 20...

The Sailor Team, Team Pokepals, Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Loran, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Team Rocket followed Leon and Princess Sakura through the Bailey towards the Castle in hopes of finding the answers to this whole mess. While dealing with the Heartless and such that appeared randomly, close to the platform, the group started to slow down when they sensed something very unusual.

In front of them, raining down from a pillar of light which startled everyone, was an unfamiliar figure in a large black and gold armored huge man with sharp clawed gloves and a weird looking helmet with horns but reminded the Sailor Team close to the Fairy-Tale world and Medieval Times.

"Whoa! Who's d'at?" Meowth exclaimed, quickly worried.

The Sailor Team and most of their allies stood in fighting positions while keeping Madision, May, Max, Ellie, Crash, Eddie, Sid, Aerith and Princess Sakura behind them, and Team Rocket shivered in fright. To their surprise, the strange man just stood there, almost statue like.

"Okay...not sure why he's just standing there like that." Donkey muttered worriedly.

"I wish I knew what he was thinking." Sid whispered to him and the rest of his friends, afraid to let the apparently new enemy hear him.

After a moment or two, the armored man finally spoke in a dark, low voice, "Hmph. How interesting; It's it not often I greet so many chosen warriors, pledged between light and dark in power, but hearts share the similiar goals."

"Who are you?" Sora asked, not trusting this guy already.

The armored man chuckled, "If you wish to know, I am Golbez."

"Never seen this guy before." Leon admitted, already reaching for his Gunblade and not taking any chances.

"He does...kind of look familiar." Cloud thought, brows furrowing slightly. Where had he seen him before? It wasn't like the constant deja vus. It's almost as though...it was quite recently, if not just by a few years.

"...Never seen him before either." Sailor Moon shrugged, not having the deja vu feeling at all from this Golbez man.

Golbez just laughed, finding their reactions quite amusing. The laughter sent chills down everyone's spines. "You may not know me, nor do I know you...but I sense great power and regenerated souls in most of you."

"I think he's talking about you twerps." Jessie whispered to the five Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask.

"Be careful!" Princess Sakura warned, "This man has strong power!"

"So you can sense the power of darkness. Very well, then. Let's see if you are capable of defeating me!" Golbez declared as he held out a hand before suddenly everyone except for Sailor Moon and Cloud were all frozen stiff, paralyzed.

"Guys!" Sailor Moon cried out, horrified while Cloud gasped, shocked.

"C-Can't move...!" Ash grunted.

"This guy just used Disable on us!" James shrieked while frozen by Golbez's power.

Cloud grunted, before turning as he unsheathed his bandaged Fusion Sword, glaring at Golbez, demanding angrily, "What'd you do!?"

(~Battle on the Big Bridge-FFXV: Episode Gladiolus~)

"I merely paralyzed them. Unless you and that child with light defeat me, they will remain this way until I am genereous enough to release them." Golbez declared, standing in position for battle. "Battle me, young warriors!"

Sailor Moon whriled around, as she and her unfrozen friend quickly realised that they had no choice in that matter. She glanced back at her trapped friends who all had expressions of worry and encouragement, before nodding to herself and turned to face Golbez once more, summoning her Keyblade, standing ready with Cloud. The last time the two of them fought together was during the Heartless invasion caused by Organization XIII.

"You won't get away with this, pal!" Sailor Moon yelled at the enemy, glaring heatedly at him.

Golbez thrusted his right arm sideways as powerful dark blast shot out towards Sailor Moon and Cloud who both leaped out of the way though Sailor Moon quickly used the Moon-Shield Card to create a barrier around the paralyzed group to protect them from being hit by the crazy armored man. Cloud in the meanteam thrusted his sword forward with his speed but was shocked when Golbez simply levitated into the air to dodge it. The armored man then pulled out a dark sword that was the size of his armored legs, thrusting it down towards the spiky-haired swordsman who dodge-rolled out of the way, while the impact of the sword crashing into the platform shook the area a little.

Sailor Moon used her Moon Tiara-Magic, tossing it like a frisbee at Golbez's head, but he merely smacked it away like it was a fly, much to her shock. He then aimed towards her, but Cloud leaped into the air and thrusted his sword down at him, only to be blocked by the black sword. Sailor Moon decided to use this to her advantage, rushing over before thrusting and slashing the armored man with her Keyblade. The distraction caused Golbez to be dealing with two of them, but as Cloud joined in to clash him, the two younger warriors' weapons were easily blocked off by Golbez's sword before he shoved both of them back.

Fortunately, both Sailor Moon and Cloud managed to prevent themselves from crashing into the wall near the staircase into the castle before they quickly covered and used their weapons to block Golbez's Firaga Spell before they quickly clashed against him when he attempted to try and destroy them with his sword. Sailor Moon attempted to use the Time-Card to freeze Golbez in time to give herself and Cloud a better chance, but was shocked when suddenly Golbez held out his free hand and as darkness briefly formed into it, both Sailor Moon and Cloud screamed out when they suddenly felt their magic cores save for Sailor Moon's power of the Moon and the Silver Crystal being stripped out from them.

The two of them slumped forward while Golbez leaped back and landed safely in the middle of the platform. He then chanted Thunderaga right at the two of them who were both electrified by the electricity. Cloud then shoved Sailor Moon and himself out of the way with little strength he'd managed and the duo narrowly escaped from being stabbed by Golbez's attack. While weakened, Sailor Moon, realised that Golbez stole her magic of the Moon Cards and the magic she can only use with her Keyblade, while Cloud had lost the Materia Magic, she quickly pulled out two potions, gave one to her friend while jugging down the other to restore their health.

Sailor Moon then tossed her Keyblade at Golbez who attempted to block it, but was suddenly busy when Cloud raced forward before clashing against him sword-wise, the weapon from Sailor Moon hitting it's mark twice before it returned to her. Cloud in the meantime found an opening before kicking Golbez in the stomach and then Sailor Moon raced forward, leaping up in the air and then side-kicked him in the head and helmet which forced the armored man to stumble back. Golbez growled angrily before hovering in the air once more, holding his sword skyward as a large red portal opened up before multiple rocks of fire came raining down like meteors as he had summoned a Meteor Spell.

While Sailor Moon and Cloud both tried to dodge the dangerous attack and even tried to block one from hitting their still frozen friends who were getting more and more anixious of their two friends having to fight this crazed man on their own and with their magic having been stripped by the dangerous enemy. The moment the attack was finished, Golbez suddenly appeared in front of them and attempted to knock away Sailor Moon. Cloud, shocked by this, quickly shoved her out of the way before taking the blow himself, being thrown back before flipping through the air and repositioned himself. Sailor Moon in the meantime quickly bodyslammed into Golbez's chest the moment she saw him attack Cloud who had risked his life to save her. It was bad enough that Sephiroth had almost killed him, but she wasn't going to live with herself if Cloud had to go through another hardship again.

The moment she did, her compact Locket suddenly glowed in light, which caused Golbez to gasp before grunting as the light blinded him that he was forced to stumble away from Sailor Moon who gazed at it, realising that the Silver Crystal was reacting. Then her body glowed slightly as did Cloud's who was also shocked and confused on what was happening. Both of them then instantly felt their powers that Golbez had stripped from them return into their vains and bodies, realising that when Sailor Moon hit Golbez, she somehow broke the spell. The two of them glanced at each other as Cloud quickly rejoined Sailor Moon and nodded, deciding to be more careful as Golbez could repeat his earlier trick.

Golbez, grunting in frustration at the power of light from a teenage girl, sent out a powerful dark energy blast at the two, which Sailor Moon and Cloud blocked by thrusting their weapons at it, before Cloud thrusted his sword down as a blue energy of light, under his command of Materia, sped towards him and despite attempting to block it, the armored man was shocked when the barrier was quickly broken by the sudden attack. Sailor Moon then chanted Blizzard to weaken him further before she and her friend delivered series of blows. Golbez blocked each move, but since the power of light from Sailor Moon's locket blinded him, he realised, to his shock, this power of light had weakened his power of darkness and thus, he was quickly losing the battle against the two of them.

Finally, Sailor Moon and Cloud successfully knocked Golbez's sword a good distance away before the two of them leaped into the air and despite Golbez attempting to blast them with his dark power, he realised too late that the light from Sailor Moon's Silver Crystal disabled his power and yelled in agony when the two young warriors thrusted their weapons right onto him, sending him back flying and where he crashed near the stair case, landing on his back. Sailor Moon and Cloud in the meantime landed safely on the platform in the middle once more, still in fighting stances until they relaxed a little when Golbez didn't rise, and they could sense that he had been rendered defeat.

(~End Battle on the Big Bridge~)

Due to this, the paralyzing spell on the rest the group ceased, and everyone either sighed or panted in relief, which both Sailor Moon and Cloud noticed, much to their relief.

"Are you alright?" Cloud asked.

"Yeah, we're fine. Thanks for asking." Shrek replied, rolling his right shoulder to get it back into position now that he was in control of his body again.

"What a relief." Sailor Moon said with feeling. "For a moment there, I thought Cloud and I wouldn't be able to save you guys."

Their relief was quickly cut short when everyone heard Golbez chuckle, causing everyone to turn and saw that the armored man had pushed himself up and stood once more. The Sailor Team, the Radiant Garden Committee, Team Pokepals, Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Loran, Cloud, Tifa, Team Rocket and Princess Sakura quickly stood in defense once more, just in cause the enemy wanted another round of fighting.

"Fear not. The battle is won." Golbez said, this time more calm and less...antagonistic, which confused the group. "I was merely testing the two of those who have stronger connections, having seen one another once more."

"What do you mean by that?" Cloud questioned.

"I've been keeping an eye on you all from time to time. Memories that can be lost from the minds are never lost from the hearts of others. When the past meets the present, they are intertwined by the bond that would belong to the present and future."

"...You're not making any sense at all." Sora said, dumbfounded.

The armored man chuckled, "As I expected from the young and those who had not yet been connected. The one with the great power of light, of the Moon where she had come from..."

He gazed at the confused and stunned Sailor Moon, continuing, "You come from the Moon of another Universe. It's clear that the power of light is yours to use, to forever drive away the discord that threatens the Realm of Light. You remind me of my brother. He is very much like you. Kind and noble to those he loves, just as you are to your loved ones, child. Do not falter your heart from them. They give you strength, not just for you, but for others when you give them strength."

Sailor Moon didn't quite get what Golbez meant about her reminding him of his brother who is clearly a hero, and what shocked her and her friends even more was that Golbez had been an enemy to his own sibling. But then his words of encouragement sounded like...he was working on a redemption.

"As for you, young swordsman." Golbez turned his attention to Cloud, "You may have been weak in strength, but your heart's strength is what makes you strong. Despite there is darkness within you, your light forever shines with a reminder. But you must also think about those of the present and protect them and your future."

Cloud was a little shocked and puzzled, but at the same time, got what the armored man was talking about. Still, he wasn't so certain if he could trust in Golbez's words or not.

"Golbez. You said that Sailor Moon reminds ya' of your brother and you know her being from the Moon. Whadd'ya mean?" Mickey inquired.

Behind his helmet, Golbez smiled as he began to disappear, his work now done. "...My brother, Cecil and I also come from the Moon...but of another Universe, far from this one and the one your friend, 'Sailor Moon' hail from. Farewell, warriors of Light."

"Hey, wait a minute! Don't go!" Sailor Moon cried out, racing to try and stop him, but by the time she reached Golbez, he was already gone into particles of light and floated up into the sky as the small sparkles disappeared without a trace.

"There." Manny said to Sid after a moment, "Now you know what he was thinking."

"Who was that guy?" Ash wondered aloud.

"He said he came from the Moon of another Universe that isn't ours or the Kingdom Hearts-Verse." Sakura remembered. "I wonder what happened in his world?"

"Maybe Golbez and his brother are kinda like me and Kaylie." Sailor Moon thought, not moving from her spot. "But then again, my sister and I never fought each other. Not even here in the present. Light and Darkness...I guess that's something the four of us have in common."

"Sailor Moon..." Sailor Mini Moon muttered, not sure how to respond to that, and she was certain the others couldn't figure out what to say to that either.

"He said he was watching us from time to time." Cloud said after another moment. "He was just testing me and Sailor Moon to prove our strengths. Why, though?"

"I guess it might be 'cause we're all connected with what's happenin' right now." Mickey thought deepily, "Which means, we gotta know about the dreams and memories in our minds for sure!"

"He has a point." Sora agreed, clampsing his hands behind his head.

"Well, what're we waitin' for? Let's go!" Crash perked up.

Everyone else nodded, and despite the confusion of Golbez's words, Sailor Moon and all of her friends and three former enemies continued on following Leon and Princess Sakura where they will learn the full truth behind their dreams and memories.

In the meantime, Golbez had gone back to his Realm to continue insisting Cecil in another adventure of their own.

SAILOR MOON: TRUTH OF NIGHTMARES.


A/N: I actually kind of like Golbez. He's a villian who later own learns of his mistakes and tries to turn for the good to redeem himself. Don't know when the next secret battle of whoever will be, but until then, see you later!
