Chapter 11: Monster Killer
Thanks to Riku, Kairi got pushed aside just in time.
Splitting his Keyblade into twin shotguns, Sora unleashed a storm of bullet-fire whilst dashing up close. In response, Riku equipped his gauntlets, dodged, and then deflected the buckshot with his forearms. Sora dodged a fist meant for his head, responding with another point-blank shotgun blast.
Smacking the barrel away, Riku narrowly missed taking a headshot, then repeated the same action when Sora attempted to blast him with his identical sub-weapon. Riku headbutted Sora; Sora headbutted him back, following up with a gut-kick to create distance between them.
Sora fired more shots from his seemingly endless amount of shotgun shells. Riku then utilized his leg strength to leap skyward, where he rapidly descended to plant both feet over Sora's shoulders. The vampire crashed backward into the ground, but not without shooting Riku straight in the chest.
Flipping back to his feet, Sora let another two shots juggle Riku in the air, transforming his guns into a massive battle-axe. One horizontal slash later, Riku was sent crashing into the side of the mountain cabin.
"Ugh…fuck," Riku swore, clutching his side.
The wolfman quickly recovered. Jumping up, he turned his gauntlets into a pair of nine-inch claws. Sora didn't hesitate to follow up with another axe swing. Quickly, Riku dodged and rebutted with a barrage of claw-strikes.
Taking at least four hits, Sora countered with another axe-swing, missing his target again. This time, Sora compensated by dropkicking Riku in the center of his chest. As Riku flew away, he aimed his claws and fired all five sharp digits from his handheld weapon.
Sora took four of the projectiles to his body; he'd managed to catch the middle digit before it pierced his face. Lowly, he growled, "Asshole…"
Tumbling on the ground, Riku flipped back up and fired more claw digits, which seemed to regenerate on their own. Reequipping his Hellzone Key, Sora deflected them all in a blur.
A swarm of bats replaced Sora's body, hammering the wolfman until he fell. That's when Sora reverted back to a vampire, dropping down in an effort to stab Riku.
However, he caught Sora's weapon but received a hard kick across the face. In response, Riku chomped his fangs on Sora's leg, wrenching the vampire to the ground. Taking more kicks to the face, Riku grinned and continued gnarling Sora's leg.
Growling loudly, Sora flapped his wings and flew skyward, where he transformed into another colony of bats. This resulted in Riku falling back down to earth; returning to his human form, Sora simply hovered in place, watching Riku fall.
Riku landed on his feet with a loud thud, cratering the earth. Standing tall, he glowered up at Sora, muttering, "Cocky little bastard."
Riku pumped his legs and leapt fifty feet skyward, leading Sora to cast Thunder. It was a direct hit; Riku fell like a ragdoll, prompting Sora to dash after him and initiate a barrage of Keyblade strikes to nearly every part of his body.
Right before he hit the ground, Riku received a hard slash that bounced him off the ground. That's when Sora slashed once more to send his wolfman nemesis sliding into the side of the cabin again. Just when Riku readied his claws for retaliation, a couple of ice spells pinned both hands to the cabin's outer wall, followed by a series of ice clusters locking his legs as well.
As more ice spells collected against his trapped hands and feet, Riku struggled to free himself, gasping, "What the…?"
Firing a record amount of ice from his Hellzone Key, Sora slowly walked up to Riku's trapped form, glaring with pure hatred in his eyes. He'd delivered enough ice to keep all of Riku's limbs pinned to the wall behind massive chunks of frozen water.
Stopping right in front of the snarling wolfman, Sora bared his fangs with a serial killer's glare.
Smirking, Riku asked, "So, how did Kairi's huge tits look?"
Sora remained quiet in his fury.
"I remember when they were still small and perky. Don't you remember that? Oh, no, wait…" Riku's eyes reflected Sora's own hatred. "You weren't the one she chose—!"
On that last word, Riku wrenched his fist free and punched Sora directly across the face; he'd unwittingly taken the chunk of ice with him, shattering the magic matter on contact with the vampire's skull. After freeing the rest of his limbs, Riku took on his gauntlets and pummeled Sora's body with well-placed jabs and kicks.
Sora countered with a punch of his own, but he missed, then receiving four more strikes to the body. Sliding back, Sora decided to pull out a new move. Rather suddenly, monstrously huge bats began rising from the dirt, each leaving behind a trail of high-voltage lightning.
"What—are these supposed to scare me?" Riku snarled.
Just then, Kairi came hovering behind Sora, wrapping her arms around him with a sensual chest-rub. Purring in his ear, she told him, "I'm so ready for you, Sora."
"Get lost." He almost threw her off.
Kairi caressed Sora's taut abs. "Fuck me right now."
Suddenly, a giant bat erupted from beneath Riku. The enchanted creature spearheaded the wolfman high into the sky, all while introducing an electrical shock to his system.
Just as Kairi's curious hands ventured south of Sora's belt, the vampire blasted off into the sky, tearing after Riku. In the distance, all three monsters could see that they were flying past Elsa's ice tower, followed by their immediate departure from Destiny Islands. Flying through the Lane Between, Sora finally caught up with Riku and planted a heavy punch to his furry face.
Freed from the electric shock, Riku cheered maniacally, "Now we're talking!"
Riku slammed his Way to the Dawn over his opponent, who blocked it with crossed forearms. Riku then initiated an Ars Solum combo of deadly strikes, all while flying backwards from their momentum.
Hardly able to keep up with Riku's ferocity, Sora decided to jettison some added weight. Taking Kairi off his back, Sora swung her by the legs, attempting to hit Riku with the succubus's sharpened wings. After missing Riku a number of times, Sora threw Kairi like a boomerang, much to the girl's delight…for some reason.
Freed from Kairi's amorous chokehold, Sora propelled himself into Riku's form, pushing deeper into the Lanes Between. Hardly able to control themselves, Sora and Riku hammered each other with various punches and kicks. Locking hands together, they suddenly noticed the presence of a fast-approaching world; it was Traverse Town.
Both vampire and wolfman crash-landed in the middle of the Second District, seemingly unfazed by the impact. Holding Riku in a chokehold, Sora threw his free hand like a downward spade, aiming for the wolfman's eye socket.
"Not so fast!" Riku yelled, snapping his fangs over the vamp's hand.
Sora continued wringing Riku's throat. "Just die!"
"You can't kill me," Riku growled, suddenly digging his claws into Sora's ribcage.
Sora screamed in agonized rage. Unable to improve his situation, he simply decided to pick up and throw Riku into the nearby fountain area, causing more collateral damage.
Bleeding from his hand and side, Sora transformed his Hellzone Key into an extra long spear, to which Riku commented, "Lame."
Meanwhile, Kairi levitated above the action, observing both monsters further detach themselves from any human disposition.
Fighting gauntlets against spear, Riku and Sora began tearing apart the landscape with their scuffle; in a quick move, Riku disarmed Sora and kicked him into a staircase, following up with a decisive strike that left the vampire impaled by his own weapon.
Pinned against the concrete staircase, Sora smirked and stated, "I don't feel it."
"One of us had to die tonight," Riku replied, pushing Sora's weapon in deeper. "Can you believe Kairi's gonna choose me after all's said and done?"
"Wait…that's what this is about?" Sora laughed, seemingly unfazed. "You're still a pup, Riku. Worried about a girl choosing you…pathetic. No, I'm fighting you 'cuz I just wanna kill you. Dick."
Growling, Riku attempted to rip into Sora's neck, but the vampire dissipated into bats again, collecting himself just above Riku to deliver a nasty swing of the Keyblade; contacting Riku's spine to successfully stun the werewolf, Sora grabbed him by the hair and flew straight upwards, passing up a titillated Kairi in the process.
With Riku's limp body in tow, Sora departed Traverse Town and wound up venturing to a half-decaying, nameless world of darkness. Flying at a record speed, he soared for the new planet's surface, eyeballing a familiar mountain in the distance; it was Bald Mountain to be exact.
Sora smirked. Bald Mountain contained a currently active volcano. Zeroing in on the lava-spewing landform, Sora stopped right above it and held Riku's body over the volcano's scorching edge.
"This is your stop," quipped Sora.
Hardly able to move, Riku sputtered back, "You wouldn't dare…"
Sora dropped him. "Burn. In. Hell!"
"You bastaaaaaaard!" Riku cried on the way down.
To make sure he burned, Sora blasted an especially volatile Fire spell into Riku's body, propelling him faster into the lava's depths. Shortly after the spell took him under, it exploded, causing an eruption in the volcano's bowels.
Vamp Sora peacefully levitated above the carnage, soaking in Wolf Riku's demise.
"It would've been hotter if you two just made out, but I guess this is fine," Kairi commented from behind Sora.
The unfazed vampire turned around to smile at the succubus, saying, "I guess the score's one-to-zero, now. Oh, and speaking of scoring…"
Violently shooting forward, Sora flew directly into Kairi, snatching her up bridal-style. Without warning, he kissed her deeply, stroking her tongue against his.

Riku's original human body materialized in Selphie's living room, lying flat on his back. He found himself surrounded by other the teens, all back in their normal, non-monster bodies. Groggily, he moaned, "Aspirin, please, somebody…"
Elsa was there, too, still using Ienzo's lexicon to bring back the costumed party-patrons. Surprised to see Riku, she asked, "Where have you been?"
"He killed me," Riku muttered in disbelief. "The son of bitch-hole actually killed me."
