Usagi: it's official. I fail at chapter titles.

Zakura: you fail at a lot of things, shall I list them?

Usagi: do that and you'll find yourself locked in your hutch for the next 3 months.

Zakura: I'll shut up.

Usagi: thank you. Took me a while longer to finish this than I would want… I blame the battle scene… but at least I got a sudden strike of inspiration in the middle, and for once it was for DoH and not for its sequel…

Zakura: or the sequel's sequel.

Usagi: there isn't any! Not yet anyway.

Zakura: time will tell…

Usagi: but enough talk of sequels (and no, I won't tell you what its about regardless how many cookies or bunnies you offer me… if you're desperate there MIGHT be some hints on Deviantart… in the form of OCs mostly…) here's the thrilling conclusion to the battle of Deym VS Isonade

Zakura: …which fails

Usagi: hutch!

Chapter 10
Water with Water 2

For anyone watching the scene from a distance who didn't know what was going on might have thought the battle looked funny.

A large dragon made from water, trying to catch a dragon-shark and a small fish swimming inside.

And boy did it look funny.

"Now this is just ridiculous" Deym said, and stopped playing, the moment he did the water-dragon fell apart, but Samehada was ready for it, he sucked up all the water before both he and Isonade landed on the ground in front of the heartless, Samehada looked like a giant ball.

"Was that all you have? I'm not even sweating" Isonade said.

"Sure? Cause you're awfully wet" Deym said.

"…I've been swimming you idiot" Isonade said.

"Well you've got nothing more to swim in now, so you're out of your element" Deym commented.

"We'll see about that, won't we Sammy?" the shark said, looking to the little fish who looked about ready to burst.

The fish nodded, and spit the water back out, only he appeared to spit out even more water than he had originally swallowed, the party quickly ran up to higher grounds as the large crater the heartless and the demons were in got completely filled up with water.

"Aw, now we can't see anything" Axel complained. "Demyx, can you tell what's going on?"

"I'd rather not" Demyx said.

"You're a chicken, got it memorized?" Axel said.

In the crater, neither of the fighters appeared to have any problems breathing, probably because Deym was a heartless and Isonade and Samehada were fish anyway.

"Too wet for you heartless?" Isonade asked.

"Nah, this is just fine" Deym said. "Only the water is a bit too calm. Let me just Rock you like a hurricane!" he yelled and played another tune on his guitar, the water started flowing faster and the currents threw Samehada into the edge of the crater and the fish got stuck in the mud, the shark demon himself seemed not to care much however.

"Is that all you've got?" Isonade asked, and with a single wag of the fins and tail he sent the currents back, now it was Deym's turn to be washed into the opposite edge of the crater.

Samehada managed to free himself from the muddy sides and swam to the surface.

"How's it going down there?" Sora asked when he saw the fish coming out of the water.

"He's a strong one, but I think Isonade-sama is going to win this thing" Samehada said.

"That's great! No one can defeat Isonade when he's in his true element" Nekomata said.

"I better get back down and help out" Samehada said and swam back down into the water.

"How exactly is he helping?" Riku asked. "He's like half a metre long, and by the looks of the mud on him; he got smashed into a wall."

"Samehada has the ability to store energy" Kaku explained. "He sucks up Sanbi's energy when he doesn't need it, and then sends it back later. As long as he's got Samehada Sanbi has more than twice the amount of stamina as he would normally have."

As Samehada swam back downwards to rejoin his boss, Deym was still struggling to free himself from the mud as Isonade was slowly making his way towards him, humming the Jaws-theme as he was swimming.

"Now this was a disappointment, after what I heard from the keybladers I thought I would actually get a challenge" Isonade said.

Samehada smirked, Nekomata was right; no one was a match for his boss in the water. This heartless didn't stand a chance.

Deym still had one foot stuck in the mud, and glared back at the shark, but there was something else there too. A smirk? No way. Samehada shook his head. Isonade-sama is going to finish him of, he can't smile now, unless he's suicidal or something he thought.

In one fast movement, Isonade flipped all three of his tails and swam quickly towards Deym with his mouth open, but Deym was ready. Just before the shark hit him, he pulled his foot out of the mud and jumped underneath him, and from Samehada's point of view, he appeared to hit Isonade under the belly, but then he smelt blood.

"Wha? BOSS!" the tiny fish yelled, and quickly swam towards the demon shark, just as the water started turning red.

Deym simply kicked the smaller fish out of the way, so he landed face first into the mud, then the water seemed start flowing away, probably since neither Samehada or Isonade were using any power to keep it there, it got sucked up in the earth.

"Aw man. Not good" Demyx said as the water was sinking.

"What just happened?" Kairi asked.

But Demyx didn't have to answer, because just then the water got shallow enough for the party to see Deym and Isonade (and Samehada's tail, just before he popped back out of the mud), but something was clearly different with the shark.

Isonade was still lying on the side, but his skin had turned very dark blue, almost black. As he slowly got up the party also spotted a pair of vicious yellow eyes.

"Not again" Sora said.

"You bastard" said Riku.

"Truth to be said I didn't start the fire" Deym said, exactly where the fire-bit came in he never go time to explain as Sora and Riku charged at him, keyblades drawn.

Deym however summoned a pair of water clones who swiftly dodged the keybladers' attacks.

"You wanna be next brats?" he asked.

Without warning, suddenly hundreds of heartless materialized around the crater, surrounding both Deym and the party. Apparently everything from shadows to behemoths.

"Hey, that's cheating" Axel said.

"I don't think he's doing it Ax" Demyx said nervously, and looking at his heartless' expression he appeared to be right.

Deym glared at the other heartless who even appeared to be glaring back.

"What does he want NOW?" he asked. If the heartless replied or not, the keybladers couldn't tell, but Deym kept talking to the shadows all the same. "Okay fine! Tell him I'm coming, but this better be important!"

Then Deym, Isonade and all the heartless dissolved into dark portals, leaving the party looking rather perplexed.

"What just happened?" Sora asked.

"Seems to me the heartless came to deliver a message…from… someone" Demyx said.

"Well gee Sherlock, who?" Riku asked.

"I don't know! I'm not mind reader!" Demyx said.

Everyone else stared at him.

"What? I'm not! Not everyone's heartless is as dim witted as Sora's shadow" the beaver said.

"Ouch" Sora said. "But you do have a point there."

"Where did he go? Where's the boss? Where did he take him?" Samehada said.

"Oh you poor thing" Kairi said and picked the fish up. "I know just how it feels to loose a friend like that."

"Eyw, you're touching a fish" Nekomata said.

"You eat raw goldfish, you're not the one to talk" Kaku commented.

"As for Samehada's original question, I'd like to know that myself" Riku said.

Meanwhile, in a dark cave at an undisclosed location, a cloak-wearing figure appeared to be watching something when a dark portal appeared behind him, Deym jumped out if it.

"'Sup old man?" he asked casually.

The figure in cloak turned around, Deym couldn't see his face, other than a pair of yellow eyes that glared at him. "I think you know all to well "what's up" as you put it" he said. "Or did you already forget about our little agreement?"

"Wasn't there something about; I won't meddle in your plans and you won't meddle in mine? Which by the way you kind of just did" Deym said accusingly. "I had those kids just where I wanted them before your little lackeys butted in".

The stranger snapped his fingers, and suddenly a massive monstrous heartless appeared behind him and grabbed Deym by the neck, holding him up.

"I said you could do whatever you liked to the demons, or this would for that matter, but the keybladers are mine" he said. "I need them for my plan, alive".

"But doesn't your plan also involve them having to turn into heartless first?" Deym asked, he was starting to sound rather hoarse because the heartless was chocking him. "So frankly you should be thanking me."

"Don't play dumb boy" the stranger warned him. "Turn the kids into heartless now and my plan would be even further away from completion, as I'd have to wait until the two halves reunite again, otherwise it's useless!"

"Nobodies…they're so overrated" Deym muttered.

"Yours might be" the stranger said, and his servant dropped Deym to the ground. "Tell you what; I'll let this one slide, as long as you tell me where the heart of the Netherworld is."

"T-the heart of the Netherworld?" Deym stuttered, more due to the fact that he'd just gotten strangled rather than out of fear.

"You know where it is, don't you?" the stranger asked. "Although I'm kind of curious as to why you haven't taken it already…"

"I have no idea where it is" Deym said stubbornly. "Besides, I like it here, lots of strong rivals to fight, my nobody hates it, what more can a heartless ask for?"

The cloaked man once again glared at him.

"Fine, I'll show you" Deym said. "But the overlord won't be happy about it, he might be a heartless now but he's even more stubborn than me, and Kyuubi's taken a liking to him too".

"Oh I'm sure Laharl and his little pet won't be a problem" the man said, and looked over his back. For the first time Deym noticed there was some kind of creature behind him, something big, and by the looks of it, sleeping. Despite the situation, he couldn't help but grin.

"This might be worth to watch after all" he said.

Zakura: cliffhangers fail too

Usagi: you're in a fail-mood today aren't you?

Zakura: your ability to discovering what my mood is like fails.

Usagi: you fail. Oops I did it again. I introduced another character without telling who he is. Mwuhaha. Actually two, but one doesn't say anything.

Laharl: where am I in all this?

Usagi: … at a Smash Mouth concert.

Zakura: why is it always Smash Mouth?

Deym: BECAUSE! (Hits Zakura with his guitar)

Usagi: thank you! That's enough sugar for today. Please review. Then there will be cake.

Axel: THE CAKE IS A LIE! Got it memorized?

Usagi: you ate it didn't you?

Axel: …I just remembered…I have something in the oven, bye! (Runs of)

Usagi: IT BETTER BE A NEW CAKE!

(Ps: No. I haven't played Portal.)
