Eden
I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
I want to thank my faithful reviewers. Enjoy this Climatic Chapter. I recommend listening to Pains theme during the first part of this story. It adds to the drama. As different scenes occur I will recommend different video game music.
Chapter 13: The Superior and the Ultimate End
(Sora POV)
"Defeat me and you can leave this game. That is assuming you can beat me. As with any great final boss, I have three forms. Can you do it?" Zexion chuckled and attacked us both.
I clapped my hands together. "Protect!" A defensive barrier shot around us both. Zexion laughed. "Not good enough!" He twirled in the air and tossed his scythes around him. He held out both hands. "Black Lightning!"
I hurried and charged another spell. "Shell!" The lightning hit us hard but the defensive spell diffused it making the attack deal less. Zexion laughed a little. "How wonderful. You are strong."
Zexion landed lightly and caught his scythes. He charged us and attacked. "Whirlwind slash!" He twirled and hit us both.
"What! NO!" The scythes diffused my spell. I shoved Riku away and flipped over Zexion. I turned quickly and charged a spell. "Absolute Zero!" Cold air surrounded Zexion and did little damage.
He laughed at the attack and brushed the frost off of his shoulders. "Let me show you a real ice spell." He held his hand up and cold energy surrounded his arm and formed into an ice spike. He tossed it at me. I tried to move but I am stuck!
I looked down, he froze me to the floor! If that hit me . . . I'll be done for. "I don't think so!" Riku jumped between me and the ice spike. He slashed it away and charged Zexion head on.
I held my hand up. "Holy!" The white energy hit Zexion and Riku jumped above him. "Dragon Slash!" The attack connected and knocked out a chunk of his HP.
Zexion backed up from Riku. "My, my, aren't we strong. I'll reward you both. Ask me anything and I will give you the truth." Riku growled. "Where is my brother?" Zexion rolled his eyes.
"Ridiculous question. He is dead. I killed him shortly after you all got to Castle Oblivion. He fought gallantly but he lost." Riku looked down. He is in shock. My turn. "Why form Organization XIII?"
"I formed them to study the players and test their strength of will." That's rather simplistic. "Did they know your purpose?"
"Not at all. Only Lexeaus knew and Marluxia of course." What about Demyx? "So Demyx didn't know? Did he mean nothing to you? He believed in you, loved you, hoped in you!" Zexion smirked at me.
"Hope is comforting. It allows us to except reality no matter how tragic it may be. Demyx died in hope rather than live in despair. I gave him what he needed." Sick bastard!
I held my hand up. "Holy!" The white energy soared and hit him hard. His HP dropped further. He held his hand up. "Soul Harvest!" Our HP was stolen and helped restore his health.
"Riku snap out of it!" I concentrated and charged a spell. "Curaga!" The great healing magic restored us back to full.
I slammed my hands to the ground. "Alexander! Holy Judgment!" The metal giant came out and shot his powerful holy energy. Zexion took a barrage of damage.
"People mean nothing to you, you bastard!" Zexion laughed hysterically. "Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA HA! Death awaits you." He slashed right through Alexander. He blew up in a burst of white energy. The residual energy infused in me and Riku giving us a holy touch.
"People mean something to me Sora. Lexeaus was like a father to me and Marluxia was the love of my life when we met when I was 15. Sadly, as fate would have it, he was taken from me by a car accident. I was able to take his consciousness and set it in Eden. I gave him life again but sadly he is only data, though his consciousness is real." That is sad.
"Let's end this Sora." He charged his attack. "Final Reaping!" He came at us to deliver a devastating attack. Riku charged him and attacked Zexion at the same time. "Ragnarok LVL 2." The two clashed in the air. Zexion seemed surprised. Riku slashed through Zexion several times, he groaned. "Is this . . . possible?"
They both landed on the ground. Cracks formed in the two scythes. "Is that the Excalibur EX? Quite amazing. Your skill is great Riku. You even finished this form." What? The scythes shattered into pieces.
"What's next then Zexion?" The music changed and picked up. (sorceress ultimecia theme from FF8) Zexion floated into the air. "Next? What always follows the challenging boss, an even harder fight." Darkness surrounded Zexion and he transformed into a winged lion like beast. He was black with a white mane and red piercing eyes. Large black horns pointed off from his head. (Griever from FF8, google so you can see how awesome Zexion looks)
His voice boomed in the air. "It's over!" Zexion shot a beam of energy from his mouth at us. "Riku!" We both jumped out of the way.
I looked over at Riku. He yelled out to me. "What do we do?!" I didn't know. What could we do? Zexion is on a whole new level. I held out my hand. "Holy!" The white magic soared and hit Zexion. It hardly did any damage.
"Fools, I am like a God unto you. You will fall to my unbridled strength." Energy erupted from Zexion. The room shattered like glass and revealed the open sky. Dark clouds formed from nowhere and thunder boomed in the sky.
"Riku get over here!" Zexion rose into the air and energy father around him. "It all ends now." Energy formed in Zexion's beast hands. "Infinite Zero."
The energy soared towards us and collapsed into an almost invisible small ball. In just a few moments the energy blew up.
The glare in his eyes peered into the dust. Zexion clearly knew something was wrong. When the dust settled he saw what it was. "Damn you! Like rats you find a way to escape harm! Damn you and that worthless summon Carbuncle!"
The green mouse like summons reflect kept us from harm. Carbuncle disappeared and I quickly placed my hands on the ground. "Bahumut's three come to me! Merge again and be one, come forth divine lord and be reborn!" Three dragons shot from the ground and flew high into the air. They twirled in the air and formed back into one dragon.
"Divine Flare!" A pale green flare shot and hit Zexion. "Riku now! Duel Tech!" We both ran and jumped through the air. "Final Judgment!" We sliced through Zexion combining with the divine flare.
He let out a roar and fire surrounded his body. "Agh! Again . . ." Zexion fell from the ball of fire that was his beast form. As he fell, darkness erupted from. Was that it? Is he fading into nothing? A new dark music began to play. (Necron theme FF9)
No, he landed on his feet. His cloak is gone though. He is shirtless, why are the evils guys always hot? Seriously, those abs are better than Riku's and Riku is built like a God.
What is that on his abdomen though? It looks like some kind of seal. Riku charged at Zexion. "No weapon Zexion, now you die!" Zexion chuckled and shoved his hand through the air like he was reaching into something.
It is like some kind of tear in space. Zexion pulled out a long katana like Sephiroth's but this is different. "Riku look out!"
Zexion laughed like a mad man. "It's TOO late!" He thrust the sword into the love of my life. Riku gasped and looked back. "Sora . . . use this . . . forgive me." He tossed his sword at me. I grasped it and I knew what it is he wanted me to do.
Zexion swung Riku from his katana at me. My lover slid over to me as he slowly faded. I held him in my arms. "You can beat him . . . I love you." A tear fell from my eyes and Riku faded into nothing.
Zexion walked over to me. He kept his distance. "I see, he created the Excalibur EX and wants you to make it even better. Go ahead . . . if you have the rare Dark Matter." I growled and pounded the ground with my fist. "Earth breaker!" Zexion flipped backwards.
"I do have it!" Zexion scowled. I fused my sword to the Excalibur EX and made a new deadly weapon. Zexion laughed at me. "A lot of good it will do you! Only a full knight can use it! You are a mix between a knight and Diviner and are unable to use it!"
I smirked. Zexion thrust his sword through my chest. "I'm so sorry but you lose Sora." My HP was slowly dropping. He lifted me higher into the air. "Not long now Sora. You have less than half left."
Dark words appeared before my eyes. Bleeding effect, death imminent. Zexion smiled. "10 HP . . . 7 . . . 3 . . .1." He laughed more until he realized my HP is stuck at 1.
"What? Why won't it go to 0?" That is when a glyph appeared below the both of us. Zexion looked down at the Glyph and his eyes widened. "Impossible! You should be dead and you shouldn't have this summon! Cloud had the relics!" I forced my self to the ground and lifted Zexion into the air as held his sword.
"Cloud gave me the relics and you should know why I haven't died. I have the Ring of Creation." Fear shot across Zexion's eyes. "Final Attack . . . . no!" I threw Zexion into the air. "That's not all Zexion! The new sword I made, the Sword of Creation wasn't for me. It is for my greatest summon! Now ULTIMATE END!"
"NO! The Knights of the round get a bonus from that sword!" A knight shot from the glyph and soared through Zexion. 11 more knights shot from the glyph and hit Zexion with a great barrage.
The final knight, the 13th one who is King of them all grabbed the sword I made and held it high. Zexion smiled. "Well done . . ." He sliced through Zexion and the summon ended.
My HP dropped to 0 and my body began fading. Zexion looked at me before falling backwards and light shot from his body. He burst into a flurry of lights and the last thing I saw were the words we all wanted to see since being locked in here.
Congratulations on defeating Eden!
My body disappeared but it wasn't darkness around me. Where am I? Is this the sky? I looked down and there was Eden. The 100 floors of the game floating in the sky.
It is crumbling! Castle Oblivion was falling apart and the floors were breaking off!
"Sora." I turned and there he was. Riku! I ran to him and held him. "Riku! You're alive!"
"It looks like we can't leave Sora. If I have to die, I'm glad it is with you." He held me tight.
"Beautiful isn't it you two?" We both looked behind us. It's Zexion. He walked over to us. "It is all so beautiful. I will miss it." Riku remained silent at his words.
"What's happening Zexion?"
"I designed it a month ago. On the chance I was defeated the game would begin to delete. It takes time though. In the meantime, every gamer has been mass logged out."
"What about us?" Zexion shrugged. "Anything can happen Sora. Death isn't certain. You may wake up, you may be in a coma, you may die."
Riku took a deep breath. "What about you?" Zexion smiled. "We'll see . . . brother." He looked down. "Well time to go." Zexion began to walk away. "Oh . . . congrats on winning."
He disappeared and everything went dark.
Awwww . . . . last full chapter. Only the epilogue left now.
