" MAYA!" Maya blinked open her eyes dully and looked down at Voreck, yawning and stretching.
" Heeeey, Voreck. Goodmorning..." Maya yawned.
" What are you doing up there?" Voreck sighed, as Maya sat up. She was indeed in a sphere of chains, chained to the ceiling. Darkness oozed out of them, hitting the floor and disappearing into the shadow.
" Up... where?" She looked around, before noticing that she was not on the ground. Her eyes widened as she screamed, clutching the sides of the sphere. " Voreck! GET ME DOOOOOWN!" She yelled at him, Voreck sighing and crossing his arms.
" Why couldn't you just get yourself down? You have a keyblade, you know, something that can unlock any lock?" Maya opened her mouth to object, however she was interrupted.
" That's because its a spell that can only be broken on the outside." Pro walked down the stairs and summoned his keyblade, unlocking the chains as Maya dropped down, Voreck reaching out to catch her. She smirked, stepping on his head as she used it as a stepping stone, standing on the ground. Voreck frowned.
" I could've caught you you know..." He mumbled, rubbing his head. Maya smiled as she waved it off.
" Didn't need your help." She said. However, that smile dropped to a frown. " I'm worried about Bael though..." Voreck looked at her worriedly.
" What happened?" He asked, Maya hugging her arms.
" Stupid Heather..." Maya grumbled shoving some of the remains of the stove in a trash bag. " Leaving it up to me to clean up... you're the one that broke it..." Sure her argument seemed rather childish and perilous sense there was no one in the room, but sometimes she just had to blow off some steam.
She turned her head to to see a figure walk toward the front door. Maya quickly got to her feet and peaked her head out, seeing Bael grab the door knob.
" Umm..." Maya began, Bael turning his head half way, motioning that he had heard her. " Its 2 in the morning... where are you going?" Bael didn't respond, causing her to smile softly.
" If you want, I can pack you some tea to go..." She went into the kitchen, Bael following her quietly. She smiled as she opened a bag, packing a cup of boiling water and a tea bag. " I understand that sometimes things can get hard and you might just want some time alone..." She turned and looked at him, bag in hand.
She stopped cold, dropping the bag, the ceramic cup inside shattering. " B-Bael?" He frowned at her, his eyes yellow. Yellow... the color of a seeker of darkness. Maya's smile wavered.
" B-Bael... quit playing around..." He got closer to her, Heather backing up against the counter. " Y-your scaring me..." She stuttered, he got close to her face, before backing up a bit and grabbing her neck with his hand, faster than a snake could strike. He lifted her above the air, Maya's feet dangling in the air.
" Such a pitiful soul..." He sighed, Maya grunting and gasping for air. She squinted her eyes at him, Bael carrying her to the living room. He summoned his keyblade, chains of darkness coming out of it, chaining her up like a cocoon. He let go of her, the chains expanding into a ball as it hung on the ceiling. He frowned at her.
" If you value your life, I suggest you stay out of my way. The one that wields light is a threat to me, therefore she must be exterminated. Your nothing but an ant to me, so it matters no if your alive." He closed his eyes, turning as he opened the door, walking calmly outside.
" I eventually just fell asleep here..." Maya sighed, looking at the two boys. She then realized one person was missing. " Hey, where's Heather?" Maya asked, Voreck shrugging.
" Probably still asleep..." He sighed, Maya running up the stairs to her bedroom. She opened the door, but stopped when no one was there. Voreck and Pro came from behind her, looking at the open window. She walked to it, climbing out of it and reaching the roof of the Mansion, Pro and Voreck followed.
" What the...?" Pro looked around daybreak town, Heather smiling softly.
" We were foolish to believe it was all over..." She whispered. The land, was no more. The buildings, crumbled to the ground, the grass in the garden wilted to ashes, the bridge that lead to the lookout, was now washed at sea. It looked like gravity had reverted, all that was left was the debris of the buildings.
" Who did this?" Voreck asked her, Heather sensing the sharpness of his voice. He was getting angry, she could tell.
" Them." As soon as the words left her mouth, a burst of light shot out of the sky and onto the ground. Maya gaped, getting close to the edge as she looked down. There, was a girl, too bright to make out most of her features. However, she noticed rather pink hair, hair that was too familiar to mistake.
" Is that... Noa?" Maya asked, Heather nodding. She looked back up in the clouds to see a rather darkened person burst out of the sky right on top of Noa, keyblade in hand.
CLANG!
" And that's Bael. I've been watching them for a couple hours now..." Heather mumbled, Noa pushing Bael off her as she jumped back, summoning pillars of light and sending them toward him as he blocked them all, disappearing and reappearing in her own shadow, Noa whipping around as she blocked, jumping back as Bael reemerged from his shadow. She wielded the Oathkeeper, Bael wielding the Oblivion.
" Why haven't you stopped them?" Pro asked her as Heather sighed, summoning her gasses and handing them to Pro. Pro put them on, his eyes widening.
" What?" Voreck asked, Pro handing them to Voreck. Voreck put them on, scanning the two. Both of their stats were the same.
Strength: 999,999
Defense: 999,999
Total Power: 999,999
Their power was off the charts, the numbers glitching as if they wanted to add additional numbers, but the system wouldn't allow it. Noa and Bael stepped back, ready to strike again when Voreck gritted his teeth.
" We'll I'm not just gonna stand back and watch them fight..." Voreck jumped off the roof and ran toward the two as they pushed off the ground, charging toward each other, oblivious of the turquoise haired man.
A sonic boom was created when the two clashed, Maya, Heather and Pro shielding there eyes from the dust that had been sent upwards. When they opened their eyes, they saw Voreck. He had crossed his arms in an X, holding the keyblade's by their blades, keeping them from finishing their attack. Blood spewed out of his hands, however he paid no attention to it.
" You two..." Voreck mumbled as he looked at them. " What the hell do you think your doing?" He asked, Heather cursing under her breath back on the roof.
" That's not possible..." Pro looked at Voreck with a frown. " He should be dead... such power should've sliced through human flesh like nothing..." Heather grit her teeth as she took a Tinkerbell medal out of her pocket. She gripped it tight.
" Voreck..." Bael looked at him with a frown. Voreck looked back at him angerly as the two desummoned their weapons in unison. " Stand back." He ordered. Voreck clenched his bloody fist tightly.
" Yeah right!" He hissed. " What happened to you?! Your eyes, your clothes, your power! That's not you!" Bael smirked at him, Noa's eyes glowing.
" Classification: Voreckson. Type: Power. Level: 300 max, Skill: Lux Boost, Trait: Max Wielding. Darkness found, future seeker of darkness possible. Extermination recommended." Noa summoned her keyblade and looked at Bael and Voreck with a frown. Voreck backed up a few steps. " If you leave, Voreckson... then perhaps I'll look over this mistake." Voreck grit his teeth.
" Like hell. I ain't going nowhere!" Noa frowned, about to perform an attack when Pro warped near him, grabbing his hand and pulling him back, warping him back to the roof and away from the battle. Noa looked at the four for a second before turning back to Bael.
" Shall we continue?" Bael asked as he summoned his keyblade, Noa nodding. Heather grit her teeth as she looked away.
" You idiot..." Pro looked at Voreck and frowned. " You know your filled with darkness, you dont need two attacking you, let us handle this." Maya looked at Heather, then at Pro.
" But how is that possible? There attacks are so strong... none of ours would have effect." Maya told Pro, Pro nodding.
" Which is why we wait until they tire themselves out, we can attack when their weak." Pro told her, Heather looking at the ground.
" I can't stand watching them do this..." She hissed, Maya looking at her.
" Heather, don't." She warned, Heather opening her eyes as she bit the bottom of her lip.
" I'm an idiot..." She sighed as she jumped off the roof, Maya reaching out to her, however Pro held her back. She summoned her Starlight, her strongest keyblade, as she pulled out her Illustrated Terra, her strongest medal. Bael turned and looked at her with a frown, his shadows holding Noa off for now.
" STOP FIGHTING!" Heather screamed, her medal glowing as she body did the same, her keyblade lighting up. 13 hits.
She went as fast as lightening, hitting as fast as she could, Bael blocking every attack. She had to be doing some damage, right? She landed her 12th hit as she slammed down on his keyblade for the 13th when-
" Hmph. Foolish child." Bael frowned at her as Heather's eyes widened. Shards of light surrounded her as she looked at her keyblade. All that was left was the handle. A simple block, had shattered her keyblade like glass.
" No way..." She looked at the handle in utter shock, dropping to her knees in fear. " I can't believe it..." It was then, that all the hope she ever had vanished from her. Tears started rolling down her cheeks as Bael's keyblade morphed into twin pistols.
" HEATHER GET OUT OF THERE!" Voreck screamed, Maya getting to her feet as she jumped off the roof. Bael held the gun to her head as Heather smiled shakily.
" There's no way we can beat them..." She whispered, a hand over her mouth as he cocked his gun, his yellow eyes staring into her soul.
BAM!
Heather looked away, eyes closed. However, she felt no pain. She was hesitant, however she opened her eyes again, only to see a horrific scene in front of her. The pupils faded from her eyes in horror as she saw a body that had took the attack instead of her.
Blood... Mixed with her dark brown hair...
