Author Note:- This one took a longer time to write due to the fucking keyboard lag. Also writing this during Hollyoaks Later so my attention is more on that than this… I want pasta. Anyway this is properly the end of The Nightmare Continues, though there is a sequel without Cloud and Claire, anyhow onto the end of this fic.
Wesker stared into his grandchild's eyes as his hand was raised above his head. Roxas looked into Weskers' blood red eyes, his heart thumping out of his chest. A tear fell down his cheek as he realised he wasn't able to tap into his abilities. Weskers black leather gloved hand connected with Roxas's jaw, popping it out of the socket. Roxas screamed in pain and put his hand to his jaw, the area being tender and painful to the touch.
"I only have to kill you then we'll be able to take over the world!" growled Wesker. Roxas took in a deep breath and pushed his jaw back into place. He moved it about for a few seconds then looked back into the elder mans' eyes.
"Well, I think I'll be harder to kill than the rest of them," laughed Roxas.
"How can you laugh in front of our master?" Yelled Xehanort, his ethereal blades still in his hands. Xehanort leapt towards Roxas and kicked him on the cheek, sending Roxas sliding on the floor. After he stopped sliding he tried to get up but Xehanort smacked his leg against the youngsters' ribs. He began moving his blade closer to Roxas, who felt the heat radiating off the weapon. Xehanort brought his hand back and thrusted it towards Roxas, who still felt heat near his chest. As the ethereal blade came closer to him, Roxas felt a burning sensation in his chest. He yelled as a burst of flames erupted from his body, throwing Xehanort backwards. The burst of flame rolled itself into a large ball of fire, which then formed into a pair of wings. The flames merged into a body and suddenly the flames separated, leaving a large red bird with red wings and shining rainbow-like feathers. A brilliant aura flooded the room and the wounds of the rest of the team began healing, Roxas's pain disappearing. He smiled as his family and friends began climbing to their feet.
Claire began coughing as she stood up, moving her hair out of her face. She looked over to Tifa and smiled. Claire bent her legs slightly and sprinted towards the brown haired female. Tifa leapt over to Claire and tried kicking her face. Claire dropped to the floor and slid behind Tifa, climbing to her feet as fast as she could and uppercutted Tifa. She stumbled back and Claire rushed at her and punched her, with her opposite hand, straight to the stomach, winding her. Tifa spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Claire, who was laughing and full of energy. During the fight between the pair of women the rest of the team had raised to their feet with their weapons at the ready.
Namine stood with her arms behind her head, holding a long staff with a large sword-like weapon attached to the top. Dante stood beside her, one hand on her shoulder the other with his Rebellion slung over his shoulder. Vergil stood at the other side of his brother, his hand on his sheathed Yamato katana, his other on his lengthy blue trench-coat. Cloud stood at the ready with his large Buster Sword in his hands. Roxas focused energy into a large ball and a white pole appeared in his hands, with a black blade finishing off the scythe.
"This is where it all ends then," Roxas grinned, swinging his scythe around his body.
"Yes, it is the end of our nightmare," Cloud smiled, tightening his grip on his weapon.
Wesker stood up straight, pulling his gloves tighter onto his hands. Slenderman began shaking slightly in anticipation of the upcoming battle.
"Son, it seems one shall stand and the other shall fall," smiled Wesker.
"You should stop watching movies, Dad," laughed Cloud. Xehanort laughed lightly and dashed towards the pair of half demons. Dante and Vergil leapt towards the creature of darkness. Xehanort sliced at Dante, who blocked the assault with his broadsword. Vergil slid in for a quick slash at the white haired enemy, but he hopped over Vergil's katana. Xehanort gave out a hearty laugh as he spun on his heels making the ethereal blades connect with his opponent's weapons. Dante slid his free hand into his back holster and brought out his black gun – Ebony – and shot at Xehanort, who was surprised at the attack. He tossed Vergil his white gun – Ivory – and he looked at it in disgust, as he didn't use guns since he preferred swords. The twins kicked Xehanort in the stomach, winding him, and then aimed the oversized handguns at their enemy.
"You remember what we used to say, Verg?" asked Dante.
"Of course," Vergil grinned.
"JACKPOT!" yelled the twins, shooting Xehanort right between the eyes, the body of Xehanort slumping to the ground, darkness swallowing him into the Realm of Nothing. Slender man clenched his fist in anger as his best warrior bit the dust. The twins leapt back to the team as Namine and Roxas rand towards Wesker. Wesker smirked and ran towards the siblings, his fists ready to hit them. Roxas spun on his heel s and sliced at Wesker who leapt over the attack, only to be smacked to the ground by Namine's pole. Wesker grunted as he picked himself up. Roxas smacked the bottom of his scythe onto Weskers' face, angering him even more. Namine slid under his legs and pulled him to the ground by connecting her pole into Weskers' shins. Wesker landed face first to the ground and yelled in pain.
"Why am I so weak now!" he growled, feebly pulling his battered body up to his feet. Roxas stood in front of Wesker as he straightened his body up. In one swift move Roxas sliced his scythe upwards, cutting his grandfather in half. A tear fell from his cheek as the realisation hit him that he'd killed a man, and a man that was related to him.
Cloud sprinted towards Slenderman, who was ready for any attack.
Claire had one again got Tifa on the ground. She gripped the brunette's neck and snapped it like a twig. She ran her hand through her hair, moving it out of her face. She smiled at Sora who yanked his hand from the beast who was holding it and ran towards the pink haired woman.
Cloud sliced at Slenderman, whose flexible body weaved in and out of the attacks. A swift punch from Slenderman connected with Clouds jaw, sending him reeling back. Cloud threw his sword at the creature, who tried to dodge it but it sliced his arm, blood spilling from the wound. Roxas leapt after the beast and sliced against Slenderman. His scythe left a black substance in the air as a dark wave sped towards its target. Namine leapt after the wave of darkness and sliced at her enemy with a wave of light energy. Claire flicked her gunblade into sword mode and sent a pink wave after the others. Dante and Vergil followed suite and sent a bone shattering blue and red wave at Slenderman. Cloud focused a blast of gold towards the first waves. All the attacks found their target and ripped through Slenderman, his body tearing into small pieces. The last attack made the body pieces explode, leaving no trace of Slenderman in the elegant ballroom, which was now covered in blood, dust or debris.
Namine stood talking to Dante about his job at Devil May Cry.
"So, looking for a female companion?" she asked, sounding rather eager.
"I'm not looking for a work companion," winked Dante, his charm affecting Namine with very little difficulty.
"Can I join you?" she asked, standing on her toes to reach Dante's face. He cupped her face with his fingerless gloved hands and pressed his lips to hers. He felt the warmth of her cheeks as she began blushing. Her hands stroked his muscular chest. He broke away from the kiss and smiled.
"Of course."
Roxas looked into Vergil's eyes, which were looking back at him.
"You stare a lot," Vergil commented, noticing the beauty of the youth.
"I was wondering if you wanted to make a rival company to Dante and Namine, since my sister has now joined Devil May Cry," said Roxas, scratching his head slightly, "y'know, sibling rivalry." Vergil looked at the boy and nodded. Roxas grinned, flashing his pearly white teeth and embraced Vergil. Vergil gasped as he wasn't used to such shows of affection from males, mostly yaoi fangirls.
"It's all over now?" asked Claire, hugging onto her boyfriend's arm.
"Yeah, it's finished, we're free from the nightmares," smiled Cloud, kissing her forehead. Dante and Namine smiled at Cloud and Claire and walked out of the ballroom. Roxas and Vergil followed behind shortly after.
"We're setting up a business to rival Dante's," smiled Roxas, hugging his parent's goodbye. As they exited the room, their hands interlocked and they stood closer to each other.
The whir of helicopter blades startled the remaining two and saw Chris with Jill outside the window. They ran over to the helicopter.
"There is a bio-virus nuke on its way; it'll eradicate the virus and life-forms! We've evacuated the rest of the city, you are the only two left, come one!" yelled Jill as the pair leapt for their lives onto the helicopter.
"Reminds you of Raccoon City?" asked Cloud as the nuke passed the helicopter. A green smoke erupted from the missile as it exploded, sending the bio-virus through the city. The helicopter flew into the sunset as the bio-virus settled down.
The End
Oh romantic moment at the end there, couldn't help it. During Hollyoaks Later there was a really sad moment where a woman was murdered and made me cry. Anyway, I'll have either a sequel or a completely new story with Roxas written soon. Read and Review please, love you Readers.
