Kingdom Hearts: The New Master

Chapter 11: Crisis Core part 2

I only own myself, now let's get on with this.

Recap time, turns out the world Maleficent brought me was the world of crisis core final fantasy 7, and since she seperated me and Aqua, I was all alone; but then I met Zack and Angeal, they were about to go on a mission to find Genesis and I wanted to be a part of it. Thanks to Angeal I was able to get in by passing a training mission, but Vanitas showed up and tried to attack me. He told me that he wanted me to get stronger, he showed me the reflect spell and then left. I don't know what he wants with me, but I can tell it's gonna end with a big fight. After I passed the test, Angeal and I went back to the briefing room to find Zack and Lazard waiting for us. "I have to admit, you're quite skilled for a 3rd class."

"Thank you sir, I practiced hard to get here." I replied, 'If you call playing video games practice.'

"As of now, you'll be apart of this mission," Angeal explained. "Which is to find and capture Genesis, and we think we found him in a camp held by Wutai troops."

"We believe they've created anti-SOILDER creatures as well, here's a picture."

I was surprised to see one of the unversed in front of us, so they were here; just makes it more of a reason for me to come with them, "Man, I never seen monsters like those before."

"You three will be working as the A-Team, while Sephiroth will come with the B-Team." Lazard explained

"Sephiroth!?" Zack exclaimed

"Yes, he'll be working with us as well."

That's right, at least he's not trying to destroy the world... yet; I was trying to look surprised, but it feels hard to do. "Let's do our best, can't let some monsters get the best of us!"

"Right, I'm going to be 1st class for sure!" Zack agreed

"Good to hear, then once you're all ready we can begin."

'Alright, I think I saw some chests around... so till the mission starts I'll start searching.'

Forest

I was able to find a couple of potions, and I even found one elixer; but when the mission started, we headed off to the Wutai troops campsite. It looked like nothing happened yet, the forest looked peaceful. "Stay alert you two."

"No worries, Angeal." Zack assured

"We can handle it, no problem." I agreed

But then all of a sudden, a group of unversed appeared in front of us; Zack was about to step in, but I jumped in first and said, "Go, I'll take care of this!"

"No way, I want in on this!" Zack argued

"Zack, leave this to him!" Angeal replied

"Fine, careful Kisuke!"

With them out of the way, I summoned black beast and got ready to fight; the unversed were like the shadow and large body heartless, so I quickly went for the large bodies and took them out. Three attacked with a combined shockwave but I jumped out of the way and gave them both a lunge with my keyblade, the shadow unversed proved to be more difficult. Since they could crawl under I kept getting attacked from behind, so instead of attacking directly I used a fire spell to insinerate them. "So they are here, I better catch up to the others."

But more just came and attacked, so I just charged right through them; it on;y took a few minutes to find them... I actually got lost for a while. "Did B-unit start yet?"

"Not yet, I wish they hurry up." Zack whined, he really wanted to Impress Lazard.

But to tell the truth, I was still wondering why Vanitas wants me to get stronger; why does he want me to fight him so bad, it doesn't make since. "Kisuke, what is your dream?"

"My dream?" I asked

"Yes, what is it you're fighting for?" Angeal replied

My dream, I don't think I have an answer for that; I know that I'm trying to find the thing missing in my heart, but I never thought about what my dream is. I had just begun this adventure, becoming a keyblade bearer, fighting unversed, most normal people wouldn't even try to do this, but I guess I'm not normal at all. Maybe that's a good thing, that just means I can do something no one else can. I think I know my answer, "I want to be a keyblade master."

"What's that?" Zack asked

"The keyblade is the weapon I use, I'm going to be a master one day... and to do that, I have to finish my adventure."

"Well then, embrace your dreams," Angeal said, smiling. "And never forget your honor."

"Right."

That's when it started, a large explosion came from the the campsite; Angeal said, "Begin mission."

Wutai Camp: Entrance

Zack was stoked, he jumped into the air and dived straight down there; I did the same and followed, but a whole army of Wutai soilders were waiting with guns and spears. Both of us got out our weapons and were ready to battle. "Members from SOILDER, attack!"

"You guys don't stand a chance!" Zack said, enthusiastic

"Bring it!" I replied

The two of us charged and began fighting, and boy did we put up a fight; Zack was awesome, he was using his sword like he was born with it. He slashed through a soilder and kicked the other behind him, and when some shot at him he jumped high into the air and used a thunder spell to take them out. I was also doing good on my end, I dodged and countered my way into victory, and I even took down this large guy by kicking him in the crotch. We were both back to back, ready for anything else. "How you doing, Zack?"

"You kidding, I could do this in my sleep." Zack answered

"Get ready to fire!"

There were gunman above us and were ready to fire, Zack was about to jump and attack but I said, "Leave this to me, just stay close."

"Fire!"

"Reflect!"

Using the spell Vanitas gave me, I formed a barrier around me and Zack; the bullets were powerless and ended up being fired right back at the gunman. "Nice one, Kisuke."

"Thanks, let's get going!" I replied

Wutai Camp: Tower Entrance

It was easy to take care of the Wutai troops, but I was wondering about the unversed; I fought them in the forest, but none were here. "Kisuke, check it out!"

Speak of the freaking devil, there they were in front of us; these were actually new to me, they looked like large gladiators. "I guess they finally took us seriously."

"You can say that, don't take them lightly."

"No problem!"

We got ready and charged, the gladiators did the samething; these unversed were more of fighters than I thought, since they had blades for hands it just made it more difficult. Our weapons always clashed but I was able to find an opening in the middle of their chests, Zack noticed it too and did the exact samething. It was over, didn't even break a sweat. "Not bad, but still no match for us."

"Right, so we go into the tower?" I asked

"Yeah, let's go."

Wutai Camp: Tower

This was just like in the game, the inside was so large that it looked endless; I felt like I could look at this forever, but then a thought came to my head, 'This is the part where those two monsters come and attack, better get ready.'

And I couldn't have picked a better time to get ready, cause the two giant monsters just came down; one was red and had a battle axe while the other was green and had some kind of stick with blades around it, they both had horns on their head too. "These guys don't stand a chance!"

"I'll take the red one, you take the green one." I explained

"Gotcha!"

The battle started, and the monsters were pretty tough; the red one kept hitting me with his axe, but as I dodged it got me with a right punch. I was able to recover and give it a punch of my own, and also give it a slash to its side with the black beast in my hand. Zack on the other hand was on a roll, he had already beaten his monster. "Hey Kisuke, hurry up will ya?"

"No worries, I got it!"

When the monster slammed his axe into the ground, I jumped on it and ran straight to his head; the behemoth fell to the ground, and was without a doubt dead. "How was that?"

"I'd give it a five out of ten," Zack answered. "Director Lazard, are you watching?"

"Let's go already, this place is gonna blow." I explained

"Right, gotta move!"

But before we could do anything, an even bigger monster came from above us; it held a giant midevil flail and almost hit me and Zack, but we moved to different sides before it could hit. "No time to play!"

Zack took out his sword and attacked the beast, and with one fell swoop he looked victorious; but the monster came back and slammed him to the wall, it was about to attack again. "Not good..."

"Fire!"

I launched a fire spell at it but it didn't affect it, all it did was turn the monsters attention towards me; something happened, I couldn't move my legs. They just kept shaking, and I could feel the sweat come down my spine. Was this fear, was I actually afraid of dying so much that I couldn't even move. "Stay back, stay back... help me!"

But then the monster suddenly fell to the ground, Angeal saved me with the buster sword; I couldn't believe that happened to me, I actually couldn't do anything to stop it from attacking. "Are you alright?"

"I can't believe I was too scared to fight back," I answered. "I did this more than once, why did I have to mess up like that?"

"Everyone has their breakdowns, it's just their way of being normal."

"He's right Kisuke, just let it go," Zack agreed. "Let's hurry, this place will blow in at least ten minutes."

Zack and Angeal started running at the tower, but I just stood where I was before; I just looked at the monster in anger, I couldn't believe I was afraid. I thought I could fight back, I thought I could change who I was before. But I guess I'll never change, I'm not special at all. "What the!?"

A dark aura started to engulf the monster in front of me, it started standing up came right back to life; but it's body turned into a blue color, and it had a symbol of the unversed on it. "No way, my emotions made this thing?"

I couldn't believe it, but only one thing came into my mind; I summoned black beast and got ready to fight, "Fine, just use all of my anger. Cause I'm gonna take it all, and freaking kill you with it: Thunder Bolt!"

My body surged with electricity and I started to attack, every blow I made left an electrical charge; the unversed tried to attack me with its fist, but I was able to dodge it. But when I wasn't looking, it grabbed its flail and hit me to the wall. I felt like my ribs were broken, and I felt that same fear from before, but the rage I had made me ignore it and charge on. "Thunder Raid!"

Putting electric power into it, I threw my keynlade and landed a direct hit at its head; but the rage I had caused me to charge at it and attack repeatedly, I couldn't stop until it died and disappeared. But now that it was fone along with my rage, I started to feel the pain from my ribs. From how long it took me to beat the unversed, I estimated that I had at least three minutes. But my body wouldn't move, I couldn't even use black beast to summon a corridor of light. My body fell to the ground, and I was starting to lose conciousness. 'So this how I die, to be blown up. I guess I couldn't make it as a keyblade weilder, so much for being a master.'

Before I lost conciousness, I remebered how I completely left my mom by herself. 'Mom... I'm sorry."

Forest

"Where is he, there's only twenty seconds left." Zack said

"I think he made it out, but he's not coming back with us," Angeal answered. "He has his own dreams, and his own adventure."

Time was up, and the Wutai camp had blown up instantly. "Kisuke!"

"Zack, we have a mission remember," Angeal asked. "Kisuke's a strong soilder, he won't go down so easily."

Zack knew he was right, so he followed Angeal to meet up with Lazard. 'Kisuke, I hope I see you again.'

To be continued

How was this, I thought me losing confidence would show that I wouldn't always win. Chapter 12 coming soon after chapter 6 of demon slayer.
