Legend of the Guardians

Chapter 12: The Destroyers

Jake's POV

...

The beast launched powerful orbs at Ifrit who jumped in the air and crossed his arms in front of him, letting his shackles take in most of the blow. The resulting explosion gave him enough time to gather energy for his strongest attack. The fires off hell swirled around him and soon he was engulfed in flames. Odin knew what was happening and created a barrier to shield us from the power of the attack. Ifrit then used the energy to create a fireball as big as the sun before throwing it down, causing a blinding, powerful, MASSIVE explosion, obliterating the world we were trapped in.

...

When the light faded I looked around to find that the world Grimm had trapped us in had been replaced by a chamber in some castle's basement. Seeing that he wasn't needed anymore, Odin vanished in a flash of light. Ifrit had vanished a while ago, the attack having drained his energy. I looked over to Jay and Amelia, making sure they were ok before taking a better look at my surroundings. Inside the chamber there was another platform 50 feet above us and the only light was generated by glowing blue crystals that floated in the room. I took a closer looked at the crystals and soon regretted it, my eyes widening in horror and shock.

"Amelia, close your eyes." Jay suddenly said. I looked to him to find anger and sadness.

"Why?" she asked curiously before looking at the crystals.

"JUST DO IT!" I yelled angrily. My eyes becoming as cold and dark as Jay's before becoming emotionless, but it was too late. Her eyes widened in terrifying horror as she stared at the scene before us. The corpses and bodies of at least a thousand people were floating in the crystals. The bodies of men, women and children floated around with looks of horror forever etched into their faces until they reached the bottom of the crystal where they would emerge a disgusting monster and drip into the sea of beasts below us. At this point Jay threw me his trench coat and I quickly covered her body, blinding her from the scene. She was shaking in terror and I held her close in an attempt to calm her down.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" At the voice Jay and I looked to the platform above us to find the old man from before. The man then shifted his form and now looked to be no older then 15. I looked to Jay and he simply nodded before walking over to comfort Amelia before I walked to the center of our platform.

"Humans are such frail and vile creatures. They fight for no reason, they steal, they lie, they kill without hesitation or mercy. They are greedy, ambitious, violent, lustful and destructive beings. So when they are introduced the the smallest bit of dark power, their true nature is revealed and the become savage monsters that will kill and destroy all that lay in their path until all that remain are themselves. Those who are strong become one with the darkness and use it's power to control the weak minded population of beasts. And then there are those that are stronger still ..." As he said the last sentence, Dark portals opened up behind him and from them a group of people wearing the same dark coat emerged from them. Their hoods were up so we couldn't see their faces. I summoned the Aubade and glared at them.

"Who are you?" I asked darkly.

"We are the Destroyers. People who were chosen to carry out the final plan left to us by the creator. I go by the name of Chronos and the ones you see behind me are the ones I have chosen to assist me with this task."

"What are you doing to these people?"

"Theses people are those who have given in to the darkness. Their greed, anger, fear and ambition have led them into the darkest depths of their own black hearts. As a result, the reached out to the dark for power and that power came at a cost. Their souls, as you see before you have become dark as their monstrous nature is revealed, turning them into beasts. This is the true nature of the evil darkness everyone fears."

"Where's Katie?" Jay suddenly asked darkly as he put the sleeping woman down.

"That girl? She will be under our care until we have no further use of you."

"Why? Just what the hell do you want from us?"

"You'll know, in due time. Until then you must focus on getting stronger... if you want to see your friend again that is." with that the destroyers summoned dark portals and soon as they did so, the monsters below us began to climb their way to us. I looked back to my friends to find them getting into their battle stances and I did the same as I looked upon the droves of creatures.

Roxas' POV

Once we were inside the barrier, we looked around to find that we were in a round room that broke off in several corridors. I scanned the place, making sure that no one had seen us, before I turned around and pressed a button on the side of my bike, reverting it to a small cube form that I could place in my pocket.

"Hey...Roxas, right?" I turned around to find Vanitas with a small smirk on his face.

"What?" I asked stoically.

"Just out of curiosity, Why did you decide to join us? That is, what's in it for you?" I remained silent.

"After all, you don't look like the kind of guy that's willing to help out total strangers for nothing. Am I right.?" He is, but I don't bother answering his question.

"I could ask you the same question." I said instead. He simply smirked at my antics. That guy really pisses me off sometimes.

"It's simple really, I mean it's not like I have a lot of options." He said as he started to pace around the room.

"Not that it matters anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that there's a good chance that once all of this is over we might disappear. You already know why right?"

"Because were fighting people who have damaged the timeline, right?"

"If you know that, then you also know that by fighting with us, you might disappear."

"..."

"'This battle that we now face is a battle that bends time and space, distorting it and creating a rupture in the time/space continuum. As such, when we defeat the people causing the anomaly, the anomaly will repair itself. But in order to do that all those who have interfered with the anomaly must be sent back to their own time or disappear for good' that's what Joseph said right? I don't have a place to go back to or a place to belong, that's why I can fight, but you still have a chance to live your own life. Especially now that you have a heart, so why did you choose to fight instead?"

"..."

Sora's POV

...

A few months ago

I was panting from exhaustion after running to catch up with that raven haired girl in the last of the lost dream worlds, the World that Never Was. I've never met her before but she looked so familiar, and so sad. When I got to the top of the steps I looked around the neon lit streets and buildings. I saw a figure in an organization coat standing by one of the buildings. I ran to them, thinking it was the girl, but when I stopped a few feet away from it it removed it's hood and turned to face me, causing me to hold my breath.

There, standing before me, was my nobody Roxas. I stood up and stared at him, wondering what he was doing here, when I saw a sad smile on his face, like he's given up and chose to except his fate. He walked over to me until we were two feet apart.

"Rox..." I tried to speak, only for him to hold a hand up for silence before resting it by his side once again. His smile faded and he began to speak.

"This could have been the other way around...but it really has to be you." he stated sadly.

"..."

"You have so many hearts, all connected with yours. Your me, so you can feel what I've felt." Suddenly the reality of the situation hit me. Roxas was fading away. He was suffering like this because of me. He was happy with his life and his friends, but all of that was taken away because of his fate to join with me, because everyone believed that I was the key. Because of his fate, he would never be able to live his own life, never be able to be happy, all because he's my nobody.

Standing with him now, I saw that he never deserved any of this. He's just someone who wants to be happy and cared for his friends, he didn't need to get dragged into this. I won't let him give up and fade away like this, not when he still has a chance.

"No...Roxas, you're you, I wanted to tell you that before. You have as much a right as I do to be your own person." He seemed shocked by this answer, but soon his face held the greatest smile I had ever seen. A smile of true happiness, which really confused me.

"Sora, see?" he asked sadly once again."That's why it has to be you." With that he reached out and grabbed my hands. I couldn't really register what he was doing before memories of his life flooded into me. My head exploded in pain and I was shaking in shock as all of his memories became mine. When he finished I felt him release me and I looked down to find that he had vanished.

By now I was shaking in anger from the things I had seen Xemnas make him and his friends do. They had all suffered so much, all because of Him. All of their anger, their sadness, their suffering, all of the pain in their hearts, all because of His plan for Kingdom Hearts. I then got up and continued my hunt for Xemnas.

...

Thinking back, I wonder if...I could have done anything for them. I can still remember the smiles on their faces from his memories, its was the happiest moments I could ever see in those nobodies. No, not nobodies, people. They were so happy together, like me and my friends. Their bond was strong and they would do anything for each other. If anyone deserved a right to live normal lives and have hearts of their own, those guys did. The organization destroyed their happiness for their plans, but even then they would stay together and fight for each other.

Even when the organization tried to get rid of their bond, they fought to keep it. Then that girl, Xion, was forced to make Roxas kill her because of them. She thought that by fading away, I would wake up and beat them. I guess she didn't count on Roxas fading, because she asked him to set Kingdom Hearts free. In the end, they sacrificed everything for us to beat Xemnas, even if it meant fading away. The only one left was Axel, and he hasn't smiled or really opened up to us since, now I know why.

Just when they thought they could finally rest, that man takes them. They've given up everything, only to be dragged into another war. That's why, when all of this is over and I find them again, I'm going to make sure they get the lives they deserve.

"Not that it matters anyway." I looked around Ansem's lab for the source of the sudden intruding voice. I found nothing and it didn't look like my friends heard it either. I thought it was my imagination at first, until I heard an all too familiar voice ring in my head.

"What do you mean?" It was Roxas's voice. When the thought crossed my mind I suddenly found myself in a round room along with him and his companion. It didn't look like they could see me so I decided to listen in on their conversation.

"I mean that there's a good chance that once all of this is over we might disappear. You already know why right?" Disappear? What do they mean by that? Why is Roxas here in the first place? What is going on here? Rather then voice my thoughts, I continued to listen in.

"Because were fighting people who have damaged the timeline, right?" Timeline?

"If you know that, then you also know that by fighting with us, you might disappear."

"..."

"You could have went to twilight town and lived out a normal life with the blond and the ravenette. So, my question remains. Why did you choose to fight this battle instead of living a peaceful life like you've always wanted, noble duel-wielder?" Before I hear an answer the world around me fades away and is replaced by one that's surrounded by darkness. There were two portals on opposite ends of the slowly crumbling world and armies of darkness and light sprouted from both. It was then that I realized that this world was Radiant Garden. One portal lead into a battle field where I could see wielders of light and darkness locked in combat, from it sprouted creatures of all shapes and sizes that have escaped the carnage. Among them were heartless, nobodies and some others I couldn't recognize, as well as a few wielders of darkness. From the other portal emerged what appeared to be angels, demons, and reapers. As I looked closer I saw that it also held what I assumed to be the ones responsible for the powerful darkness.

A familiar gummi-ship appeared and landed in the city, only for a barrier to rise over the city as soon as it hits the ground. I search for the cause of the barrier when my eyes widen in shock. On the side of the barrier where the war is being held, Organization 13, save for Xemnas and Xigbar, were taking defensive positions around the perimeter. Leading them were Roxas and his friends. On the other side of the barrier stood the beings of twilight and others I didn't recognize. The armies halt for a few minutes, as if waiting for an order, before they descend on the barrier, only to be forced back before they could take another step. At that moment the Organization strikes the enemy, letting none get through their defense The beings of twilight grew brilliant wings and took flight after the leaders of the enemy while the others ran with unheard of speed into the fray.

As the battle continues I find the world turning to dust before my eyes, before finding myself waking up on one of the couches. Taking a look around, I found that I was back in Ansem's lab, and I release a sigh of relief. The feeling was short-lived, however, when an alarm sounded. I jumped from the couch and ran to Sid, asking for an explanation.

Roxas' POV

I was going to answer his question when the ground suddenly shook violently beneath our feet. Before we could register what was going on we found ourselves surrounded by monsters.( A/N The monsters from Blassreiter. I think they were called Imalgums.) I summoned my blades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and hacked away at the creatures, knowing that magic has little to no effect on them. Vanitas summoned his blade, Void Gear, and joined the fight. We held nothing back as we skillfully handled the Imalgums with our blades and skills. Soon the last of the creatures disintegrated and I dismissed my blades. I looked to Vanitas and saw him nod before I walked to the center of the platform and closed my eyes. It wasn't long before I felt their power coming from the Northwest corridor, and I started down that hallway, Vanitas following close behind.

Jay's POV

So close, I was so close to finding her, only to fall into another trap. Damn those bastards, because of them we have to go through all of this crap. All because of their stupid plans. I swore as the monsters came at us at all sides. Anger rushed through me as I readied my weapons and got into a battle stance. Because of them one of my friends had been taken from me, I wouldn't let them take another. This time I won't hold back. I felt rage and the desire to protect my friends fill me to the brim as I charged the monsters ahead of me. When I got to the first monster I let my emotions power my actions and sliced in two before decapitating the one behind it. As they disintegrated into dust I made for the next wave and cut down four monsters with one swipe. I then charged my blade with energy and swiped at the rest, shocked at what I saw. A powerful wave of darkness not only wiped out the next wave, but the waves after it as well causing a monstrous explosion.

When the smoke cleared I looked to my blade to find it shrouded in darkness with a glowing white aura around it. It felt different from the darkness of the Destroyers, almost as if it wasn't darkness, but black light. I spent only seconds pondering over my new found power when I heard a scream behind me. I turned around and my eyes widened in shock as I saw a large wave of monsters about to collapse on Amelia. It was then that I remembered she was still recovering from what we saw earlier, so she could fight as well. One look at the distance between her and the two of us made me realize that we wouldn't make it in time. I could see Jake shouting her name as we try to reach her. Suddenly, two keyblades flew in from above and defeated them before they could hurt her.

We watched as the blades returned to their owner's hand as he and his partner ran down an empty corridor. He was wearing the same coat as Destroyers but I felt no danger coming from him. His partner was wearing a black and red-striped jumpsuit and a helmet that hid his face. He held a black chained keyblade tightly in his hands.

"VANITAS." the one in the coat shouted before launching into the fray.

"Right." was the only response before the figure in the suit jumped in front of Amelia and got into a defensive position. I looked to Jake to find him staring back and we both shrugged before rejoining the fight. Between my new powers, Jake and the newcomers, the battle was over within minutes. Jake and I walked over to Amelia to see if she was alright while the newcomers stood a few feet away from us. When we were sure that she was ok Jake stood and face them. One had spiky, blond hair and blue eyes while the other had gravity-defying, raven colored hair and golden eyes. Jake walked over to them and extended his right hand.

"Thanks a lot for helping us out, I'm Jake." he said. The blond shook his hand before responding.

"I'm Roxas, and that's Vanitas." he introduced. The ravenette simply waved.

"What are you guys doing here?" Jake asked.

"We were asked to come down here and give you a hand."

"By who?"

"Someone who says he has the answers your looking for. We'll explain later but right now we need to find a way to get out of here." At that statement we all looked around for a door or a portal that could get us out of here. It was then that I spotted a huge glowing crack in the wall.

"Hey, what about that?" I said as I pointed to it.

"It looks like a crack in the barrier. Any ideas on how to get through it?" Jake asked.

"If we charge our blades and attack at the same time we should be able to destroy the barrier." Roxas stated.

"Alright then, let's give it a shot." With that we all stood in a line, save for Amelia, and charged our keyblades. We then pointed the blades at the crack and released to energy, causing a blinding light.

Sora's POV

Seconds from when I jumped from the couch dozens of alarms went off. Ansem's computer was going haywire from the power coming from the sphere. Within moments everyone in the Radiant Garden Restoration Comity was in Ansem's lab as we tried to figure out what was happening.

"SID, WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Leon shouted, trying to be heard over the alarms.

"I DON'T KNOW, THE DAMN MACHINE'S GONE HAYWIRE!" as soon as he finished that sentence the entire world around us was shrouded in light.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, later.
