I stiffened when Xehanort said he wanted Namine. By the power of Light I will not let him take her! She's my best friend, one of the many I have, I would die for any of them, this includes Namine! I instantly summoned Destiny's Embrace. "Oh? So the Princess wants to fight, is that it?" laughs Xehanort. I growled slightly, but kept my Keyblade ready to attack.
"Kairi," says Yen Sid, standing and moving to the front of his desk, standing between Namine and I, "you do not have what it takes to destroy Xehanort, especially not alone, and Young Xehanort, he's even more powerful." "I don't care." I said, "There's no way I'm letting him take Namine!" "Kairi..." says Namine, looking at me, her eyes tearing up slightly.
"You girls can fight, that much I will agree to, but fighting Xehanort without the aid of the others is out of the question. I will not let you two throw your lives away, no matter how noble the gesture." says Yen Sid. I gritted my teeth but nodded. Namine nodded as well, her eyes suddenly becoming hard as she summoned her white Keyblade; Light's Embrace.
"So what do you want us to do then, Master?" I asked, looking at Yen Sid, but also keeping my eyes on Xehanort and Young Xehanort. "I want you to to get the others and leave, go as far as you can and do it quickly, I don't know how long I can handle them." says Yen Sid, nodding slightly to the window behind his desk, secretly telling us to go out that way.
"You think we'd let you escape that easily?" asks Young Xehanort. I glare at him and he grins. "I like you, you're feisty for a princess." he smirks. I growl, "Fuck off." and grab Namine's hand and I quickly led her to the window. Xehanort moves to stop us and in an instant Yen Sid has a Keyblade in his hands and he blocks Xehanort's way. Young Xehanort comes at us and Yen Sid shoots him with magic. "GO!" yells Yen Sid, struggling slightly to keep Xehanort still.
I nod and help Namine up onto the ledge of the window. "I can't!" she cries. I climb up beside her and stare her right in the face, "Yes you can!" "No, Kairi, I can't! I'm scared!" she cries. I sigh, "Give me your hand, don't let go until I do, keep your eyes shut, I'll get us down safely." She nods and I hold tight to her hands and jump out, pulling her behind me. She screams when she falls and I quickly look around for our friends.
I find them easily, and they are fighting with members of the New Organization XIII. "Sora!" I called, hoping he will hear us and help us break our fall. He looks up immedietly and gasps and Namine and I are dropping fast back to the ground. "I've got you!" he yells, instantly running for where we are dropping. "Roxas, help me!" he says, passing Roxas, who follows him immedietly.
When we were almost to the bottom I let go of Namine and she looks at me, she's obviously afraid. I nodded at her, showing her everything will be okay and she nods too. Sora catches me instantly, since he was already reaching for me and I hug him gratefully. Roxas catches Namine the same way and she clings to him. "Sora, Xehanort and some other kid Yen Sid called Young Xehanort are after Namine!" I warned.
"What? Xehanort's here? I knew there was a reason for these guys showing up!" growls Sora. Suddenly I realize the members are disappearing, withdrawing. Oh no, Yen Sid! I quickly grab Sora's hand and race back towards the door. "Ugh! Kairi? What's going on? Where are you taking me?" he asks as he runs behind me. I tighten my hold on his hand, furrowing my eye brows and I go through all possible things I might see in yen Sid's office, only one is good, let's hope that's what I see.
I get to the door, it's open so I run right in and up the stairs as fast as my legs can take me, plus the pulling Sora along behind me slows me down some, but I'm not going in alone, Sora's the best help I can get besides Riku, though he was fighting with another member, while Sora was not. So Sora's my choice, and it feels good to have him fighting along side me.
We make it up the steps and Sora and I burst through the door and Yen Sid is on the ground while Xehanort and Young Xehanort move in for the final move. Sora instantly shoots light at the two beings of Darkness, "Hold it right there!" Xehanort and Young Xehanort dodge Sora's attack and turn to us. "So what vanitas said was true, you have gone back to the Light." says Xehanort. Sora growls in response.
Young Xehanort smirks, "Hello again, Princess. So the Princess has brought her Prince has she?" I growl and let go of Sora, holding my Keyblade out at him. "Shut up!" I growl. "Oh? Still on the offensive I see." he laughs, his laugh hollow. I growl, holding my Keyblade at him, ready to shoot him down with my Light. I won't let him make a fool out of me!
"Let me handle them, Master." says Young Xehanort, looking at the old man before him. "Ugh, fine. But don't break them, I still need them." says Xehanort, opening a dark corridor. "Where do you think you're going?" growls Sora, shooting Light at Xehanort, who deflects it with a sneer. In an instant the old Xehanort is gone, and the young one steps forward to challenge us.
"I'll handle this, Kairi," says Sora, "you get Master Yen Sid and get out!" "Don't think so, boyfriend." I smirked, "I'm not sitting on the side lines anymore, I'm going to help you take this jerk down!" "Kairi, no!" screams Sora. I frown, "I'm tired of staying on the side lines, Sora! It's my turn to show what I can do, that I'm not just a useless, helpless girl!"
"But, Kairi, you could get hurt!" says Sora, glaring at me, but not because he's mad, because he's worried. "I can handle it. I'm helping. Get yen Sid, then come back. Okay?" I ask. He groans but nods and runs to aid Yen Sid. I point my Keyblade at Young Xehanort, a glare in my eyes and I snarl, "I'm your opponent." "So be it, little Princess." he sneers.
I growl and shoot Light at him, which he easily blocks. He smirks and runs at me. I dodge quite easily and shoot more Light at him. Sora runs out beside Yen Sid and I bring my attention back to Young Xehanort. "Give it up, little Princess, you can't win." he says plainly. "I will not give in!" I growled, "Never!" I ran at him just as he runs at me and we lock blades instantly, his weapons stuck by my Keyblade.
He grins and starts to push back on me and I gasp and I am being forced backwards. I grit my teeth and push back, but not enough, he's still forcing me back, and now I'm against the wall. He's trapped me. He laughs, "Ready to give up, little Princess? Just hand over Namine and we'll leave you all alone." "I know for a fact you're lying, you won't leave us alone, and we'll never hand her over to you! We cherish our friends and won't sell them out like you all do!" I snapped, keeping him locked with me.
Sora comes back in and runs at Young Xehanort, his Keyblade raised high above his head. Young Xehanort sees this and breaks the lock and shoots Darkness at Sora. Sora dodges it and keeps coming for Young Xehanort. He shoots another at Sora, this time hitting him and sending him flying across the room. "Sora!" I yelled instantly.
Sora struggles to get up and Young Xehanort suddenly lashes at me hitting me and the wall behind me. I screamed from the sudden blow, pain erupting in my chest, since he slashed right across it. I gasped as I noticed the wall behind me was falling out. I grinned, suddenly getting the worst yet best idea I've ever had. As the wall falls I lean in and grab a tight hold of Young Xehanort's coat, this caught him off guard.
"Kairi!" screams Sora, realizing what I'm about to do. I pull Young Xehanort to me, just as I lean back into the wall. the wall crumbles and I slip right through, and so does he. He realizes what I'm doing and tries to stay inside, but I pull tighter, yanking him right out with me and we both start to fall towards the ground far bellow us. "This is a suicide action!" he hisses. "And you're going down with me!" I laugh, holding tightly to his coat so he can't escape me.
"KAIRIIIIIIIIII!" Sora screams from the tower. I groan but keep a hold of Young Xehanort. Looks like I'm leaving Sora again... But I'm making sure this bastard dies with me! I twist violently, making ti to where I'm now no longer on the bottom and Young Xehanort it. Now he can take the most of the fall and probably die, I'll most likely die too, but I might have a chance to survive, he won't.
"Riku!" screams Sora, "Catch her! Please!" I see Riku rushing to catch me, but if he catches me, Young Xehanort will get away, I can't let that happen! If it's my life to rid him of his, then so be it! "Beat it, Riku!" I snapped at him. He looked at me and glared, but kept coming in my direction. I growled and summoned my Keyblade, now only holding Young Xehanort with one hand. He groaned and tries to summon his weapons but I stab him with my Keyblade first, right through where his heart should be, if he has one.
"That won't kill me, little Princess!" he laughs. "Then maybe this will." I growled, narrowing my eyes. He looks at me in confusion and hate and I grin. "Light Eruption!" I scream, Light blasting from my Keyblade, that is still stuck within him. He is shot multiple times with Light, all at the same time. If this doesn't kill him, I don't know what will!
He screams and throws me off him, sending me spiraling towards really nothing, nothing to break my fall either. I groaned and let out a scream as I start to get closer and closer to the ground. I shut my eyes tightly, expecting to become a princess pancake in about two seconds. But something grabs onto me and swipes me into the air. I open my eyes and look up to see Sora, in his armor and on his rider, which I am now also on. I gasp in delight and take off his helmet. Sora smiles at me and I reach up and kiss him softly. "Sora!" I said, hugging him, after I had finished kissing him.
He laughs lightly, hugging me back. "Hold on, Kairi! We're going back to the others!" he says, setting both hands on his rider's handle bars. I wrap my arms around him and we zoom off back towards our friends. Once we get there, there is no sign of Young Xehanort. Yen Sid is there though, and he looks to be all right. At least that is good.
We land and Sora and I get off Sora's rider. "Where's Young Xehanort?' he asks our silverette friend. "He disappeared after he threw Kairi, but I know for a fact that wasn't the end of him." answers Riku. I groan, then ask, "Is Namine all right?" "I'm right here," says Namine, "and I'm fine." She smiles and I smile back. Then Yen Sid speaks to me, "Kairi, I may have underestimated the extent of your powers, but I was right about you not facing Young Master Xehanort alone. I told you you couldn't defeat him. Yet you tried, and almost threw your life away, just as I tried to keep from happening."
I let my head fall down, "I'm sorry. I should have listened to Sora, he told me not to fight, but I just wanted to prove I was more than just a useless girl." "And you have." says Yen Sid. I look up at him and he smiles lightly, "You have proven yourself well. I think now is the time to ask you all." "Ask us what, Master?" asks Roxas. Suddenly the three Masters have smiles on their faces.
"I think I know what it is." says Master Terra. "I knew they were ready!" says Master Aqua excitedly. "I'm sure they'll pass easily if they work for it." says Master Ventus, smiling proudly. "What are you guys talking about?" asks Sora in confusion. "The Mark of Mastery Exam!" the three Masters say at once. "Mark of Mastery Exam?' asks Sora. "That's right." says Yen Sid, smiling with pride, "It is time the new Keyblade Wielders became Keyblade Masters."
