Mickey: Hiya, Deviated.
Oh! Hello, Your Majesty (I then bowed.)
Mickey: Don't worry about formalities, Deviated.
Ok. And, go ahead.
Mickey: Deviated only owns plot and OC's.
Chapter 11
The Mark of Mastery
Sora and Riku charged each other, and as their Keyblades clashed, a deafening sound was produced. Both kept pushing with all their might. Sora then looked at Kairi, and winked. This confused Riku long enough for Sora to jump back and hit Riku in the gut with a chunk of ice.
This left Riku lying on the floor, dazed.
"Great job, Sora...pick it up, Riku. Anyways, Part 2 is split into two different things. First off, each of you will fight me, so that I can measure your strength better." Aqua said.
"Who's first?" Riku asked, still very dazed. The blow from the ice not only knocked Riku to the floor, but also knocked the wind out of him.
"I guess, Sora. Since your still confused." Aqua replied, jokingly.
Aqua and Sora then proceeded to duel; both were faring quite well. With every move from one, the other had a counter. The battle continued for half an hour, Sora and Aqua, were both feeling tuckered out. Both collapsed to the floor, as they put much of their power into the duel.
"Okay, Sora. You win. You're a Master." Aqua said before falling back.
"I'm ready, Aqua!" Riku shouted.
"Well, wait. In an hour. Go away, now." Aqua mumbled before falling asleep on the grass.
Aqua woke up an hour later. She looked around and noticed only Sora and Kairi sitting by a tree. So she searched for Riku, so she could test him. After an hour of fruitless searching, she went back into the garden, where Riku now sat with Sora and Kairi.
"Have you guys seen Aqua?" Riku asked, annoyed.
"Dude, she's been searching the Castle for you." Sora said, with laughter in his voice.
It was then that Sora and Riku started acting like 5-year-olds wrestling around in the grass, rolling into all manners of shrubs and trees, until Aqua kicked Riku in the head.
"Get up, its time for your test, Riku!" Aqua screamed at him.
As he got up, Riku grumbled something about Aqua not needing to be so mean.
Riku charged at Aqua, and she nimbly leapt out of the way.
"You remind of Terra, back when he and I had our Exams. He just blindly charged at me!" Aqua said, trying to arouse Riku's anger.
He knew this, and ignored it. He changed his strategy then. He shot an orb of dark-fire at Aqua, which completely shocked her.
"Did you just use Dark Magic!"
It was then that Mickey intervened for Riku, explaining the past adventures of Sora and Riku, so Aqua would understand. Aqua then decided that they would have another duel, so Riku could prove Aqua wrong.
This battle went on longer than Sora and Aqua's had. About an hour in, the Royal Trio of Mickey Donald and Goofy, plus all of the off-worlders were watching. Mickey eventually intervened, however because they had to leave. Riku as then dubbed a Master, and that was all he and Sora talked about on the gummi that they, Kairi, Aqua, Terra and Ven were on. Terra eventually got sick of it, and yelled at them to shut up. And shut up the did. Everyone heard laughter from the other gummi, which held the Royal Trio and Veronica, over the Comm. Link.
It was then that something popped into Sora's head. "Hey Mickey, where are we even headed to, now?"
The Comm. Link had a bit of static, but everyone understood Mickey saying the Radiant Garden.
I know this was a small chapter, and it was really just filler. And of course, Buh, duh duh duh- duh! Sora and Riku are Masters (poor Terra, he still isn't a Master)
