"We'll Go Together…."

Chapter 7

"And now, let's start the 3rd match: Hayner vs. Seifer Almasy!" "So, n00b, why don't you just give up and save yourself the embarrassment?" asked Seifer. "No," said Hayner as he quickly glanced at Fuujin. "I have my reasons. Now, let's do this!" "Wow!" said the announcer. "These two are more fired up than usual. So, BEGIN!!!!" Hayner and Seifer charged forward, knocking a few orbs off the other. Hayner then countered Seifer's next attack, sending him clear across the ring. He picked up the orb Seifer dropped, and positioned himself to attack again. Seifer tried to attack Hayner, but Hayner was too quick for him, and landed a blow that was good enough to make Seifer drop all of his orbs. Hayner then quickly picked them up, giving him the win.

"NO! I won't lose to you!" said Seifer as he threw down the Struggle club, and unsheathed his gunblade. "No more of this kiddy crap!" Seifer sent Hayner to the ground, and had the gunblade pointed at his throat. "Who's the winner now, n00b?" asked Seifer. "ME!" said Hayner, as he kicked the gunblade out of Seifer's hand, and then used his other foot to kick Seifer square in the balls. Then, he heard Raijin call out, "Fuujin, move, ya know!" Hayner looked to see that he had kicked Seifer's weapon into the air, and it was heading right for Fuujin. He then rushed over and pushed Fuujin out of harm's way, with the gunblade coming down mere inches away from him. "Are you all right?" asked Hayner as he helped Fuujin off the ground. "Yes, thank you" said Fuujin with a slight blush on her face. Hayner then went back over to Sora and the others. "That was awesome!" said Olette. Pence then elbowed Hayner in the ribs a bit. "Hey, Hayner. She's looking at you." Hayner looked back at Fuujin, but she turned away to hide her blushing, which she wasn't doing very well. "Did you actually plan on that happening?" asked Sora. "To be honest, no." "Well, it looks like it worked. Now, it's time for my match, be back in a bit," said Riku as he went to the ring for his fight with Vivi.

"Now, let's start the final match of the first round! The miniature Black Mage, Vivi Orniter! And, another of the newcomers to the Struggle, Riku!" "You can do it, Riku!" called Sora, Kairi, and the King from the sidelines. "And, BEGIN!" called the announcer as the match started. "Just because I'm short, don't think of me as an easy win" said Vivi as he began creating clones of himself around Riku. They began to swarm Riku, until he killed some of them with a Dark Firaga spell. Three more Vivi clones appeared behind Riku, hitting him forward, where he was met by the business ends of several Struggle wands, making Riku drop about half of his orbs in the process. "Ok, there's 1 of me, and lots of him. No problem." Riku then ran forward, killing clone after clone until there was only the original left. "Firaga!" called Vivi, as he fired a wave of fire at Riku, but he countered with a Dark Shield, and sent it right back at the small Black Mage, making him drop all of his orbs within Riku's reach. He then scooped them up, making himself the victor. Vivi then stands up and says "Huh? What am I doing here?" He then simply walked off the platform, as if nothing happened. "That was awesome, Riku!" said Sora as he congradulated his friend on his victory. "Thanks Sora." "We will now take a one-hour break so our fighters can rejuvenate themselves. For now, enjoy what Twilight Town has to offer, but not before listening to who will be fighting whom in the next round. In the first match, it will be Sora vs. Mickey Mouse, and Riku vs. Hayner in the second fight of the Twilight Town Festival Struggle Spectacular!" said the announcer and then walked off stage. "So, that's what he's calling it now. Anyway, Sora, Mickey, good luck in your fight in the semi-finals" said Riku to his friends. "Thanks Riku, and good luck to you and Hayner in your fight" said Sora. "Hey Sora, since we have time before the match, what do you say we go hang out for a while?" asked Kairi with a smile. "Ok, sure" said Sora as he smiled back at her, taking her hand as he went to give her a quick tour of Twilight Town.
