Chapter Nine

A Crossroad of Destiny...

As Gera dashed down the path, he begun to see more Shadows appear around him, but weren't paying attention to him. He began to ask himself questions, like "What where Heartless?" and "Why are they attacking people?"

He shook his head as he continued to dash down toward the battle...

Jet dashed all over the air, teleporting at some points, to dodge a massive barrage of silver blasts from the man, who was shooting them from his hands, laughing.

"What's wrong, Jetty!? Too much for you to handle!?"

Jet growled as he caught a blast with his sword, pulling his arm back.

"Don't PISS ME OFF!!!"

He slashed at the man, sending a massive wave of silver and black energy at him. The man started, then disappeared, making the wave hit the ground, exploding like a tidal wave on land. It made a massive gust of air rush out throughout the forest.

"Gah!"

Gera was thrown back from the air and rolled on the ground to a stop. He dug his fingers in the soil to hold himself, eyes closed so no debree would hit his eyes.

"Damn! What the Hell's going on there!?"

Then the thought hit him.

Wait... was what he was saying true? Is he really a... a god? Then... if he's a god... then what about that other guy? Is he a god, too!?

He gulped.

Why would a god want to kill me!? And why would another god want to help me!? Aren't they supposed to be all might beings that are selfish and all that!?

When the wind died down, he stood up again, brushing off some leaves and twigs off of him. He the dashed forward once more, Keyblade in hand, getting closer to the battle...

The two gods were in a massive sword fight, their weapons blurs as they fought, Jet parrying and attacking, and the man doing the same thing, but was laughing. He wielded another Key-like weapon. The handle was a circle with a golden handle, and the blade was curved at the top fourth part with unknown symbols formed on the side of it.

"Ha! Hadn't had this much fun in YEARS!"

He kicked Jet's jaw, then stabbed his stomach. Jet gave a grunt as some blood dripped from his mouth.

Then Jet punched the man in his jaw, forcing him to fly back a bit, pulling out the sword. Jet breathed in some air, the wound in his gut healing fully in a matter of seconds.

"Damn... that hurts..."

The man scowled.

"Riiiiiight... forgot, gods can't die that easily. Not even if you're blown up to countless pieces, even if they are particles."

He popped his neck.

"Guess I should be the first one to kill a god, then."

With that, his weapon began to glow with a bright blue aura. Jet growled as he flew back a bit.

"Using THAT techneque... you KNOW that's banned by the Father and can only be used in emergencies."

The man chuckled, beginning to clean his ear with his pinkie with a playful look on his face.

"Well, you know that I can be a bit of a HANDFUL!"
He moved too fast for Jet, appearing in front of him and slicing upward, cutting Jet's chest....

Jet fell to the ground and hit it... HARD. He laid there in a small crater, blood coming from his wound... It healed, but Jet was still weakened as he layed there.

"D... damn you..."

The man appeared in front of Jet, walking over to him and picking him up by his shirt with a single hand. he had a evil grin on his face.

"Damn me? I've already been damned, by the Father himself, dumbass."
He lifted his blade close to Jet's face.

"You know... you got to wonder; Why the Hell would The Almighty God create a move that is able to destroy any soul with a single strike?"

The sword began to glow with a light blue arua again.

"But... I'm not complaining, ya know?"

He raised his sword and was about to strike down, when she sensed something to his left. He quickly blocked a strike and locked blades with it...

Gera had jumped at the man and sliced down with his Keyblade. He was in the air, blades locked with the man, giving a battle expression on his face. The man was glaring at him, then grinned, showing his fangs.
