A few minutes ago on top of the school in the cloud of smoke Sora was just picking himself up of the ground when he saw the Guardian launching the fire balls at the ground he turned and saw who it was aiming at without a thought he threw his keyblade at them it sliced straight through them causing them to explode saving his mother. He slowly struggled upto one leg panting heavily that last attack had taken more out of him then he thought possible, a blinding pain struck his whole body Riku/Ansem had attacked him point blank the huge fists of the Guardian slamming into him and sending him flying again, "how dare you get in the way AGAIN" Riku/Ansem boomed at him Sora tried to stand up again "you" he started panting even more "attack my mother" another heavy pant "steal my friends body …huff…huff… huff… and…huff… you expect me to stand by…huff and watch… huff" he finally made it to his feet "Hahaha" Riku/Ansem was laughing know apparently Sora had said something funny "what… huff… are you laughing at" he was getting his breath back now "of course I don't expect you to stand there and do nothing Hahaha I expect you to die" as soon as he had said that he rushed at Sora, Sora called the keyblade back to his hand in a flash of light it reappeared and blocked the attack from Riku/Ansem but the guardian swung round his master and slammed his fist into Sora knocking him back, Sora couldn't attack all he could do was block it was like nothing he had faced before, there was no room to move between attacks every time he blocked he was pushed a step back he knew he didn't have many more before he came to the edge of the roof. Lars had reached the school by now and was heading through the hallway to the stairs to the roof. Sora was still being pushed backwards he was thinking through every fight he had been through and realised he had never been this out classed again something rumbled deep within his heart, "ha I cant believe you beat me before" Riku/Ansem taunted Sora " I thought you were going to try and save your friend but if this is your best I'm not worried" that stirred something in Sora instead of blocking Riku/Ansem attack this time he dropped and rolled to the side the Guardian's fist came slamming down to the ground where Sora had been a second ago but as he finished his roll he jumped into the air over Riku/Ansem and the Guardian to land on the other side of the pair, Lars had ran up three flights of stairs and was nearing the roof, he swung his keyblade but the dark blade of Riku/ Ansem stopped his attack but Sora was smiling this puzzled Riku/Ansem until the air shimmered around them "firaga" Sora shouted and a swirling vortex of flames engulfed the pair, Riku/Ansem jumped back but was still caught in the cyclone he screamed in pain and backed of as the flames died down, Sora attacked again swinging his keyblade left to right, right to left and bringing it down over his head but each time it was either blocked by the dark keyblade or knocked aside by the Guardian he couldn't get a solid hit on Riku/Ansem, then as Sora took another swing at him from the left guiding it with his right the Guardian grabbed his keyblade with both hands and dragged him forward towards the deadly duo, as he was being pulled closer the Guardian swung his whole being to one side then the other forcing Sora to the right and then flying to left, letting go of the keyblade with his right hand, as Sora's body flew to the left the Guardian let go sending Sora flying, Sora recovered mid air only to be met by a blast of dark energy that surrounded his body and flung him through a wall and bursting out the other side into the school landing half way down a set of stairs cracking the stairs and the wall around him dust veiled the air. Traces of the dark attack lingered on Sora then disappeared into his body.
Kairi who was still healing selena felt a pang in her chest and knew something had happened to Sora.
Lars had just reached the last set of stairs to the roof when a body came flying through the wall and landed next him when the dust settled he reached down and turned the boy over he had cuts to his face and hands but his hands were still tightly gripped around his keyblade not letting go even in unconsciousness, Lars reached into the suitcase and pulled out three things a pair of burnished bronze armoured boots a gauntlet that ran along the arm from wrist to shoulder which had a clear gem in it and a belt that had another clear gem in it he removed Sora's trainers and put the boots on him, he put the belt round his waist adding to the few belts that Sora already had then he prised soras fingers from around his keyblade which then disappeared he then removed Sora's jacket and on his right arm he placed the gauntlet on him. Lars then reached into his pocket and pulled out a chain that had a crystal heart on it he placed that round Sora's neck and when it touched the silver crown that Sora had always worn around his neck it too turned to crystal. "Take care of that it was your fathers" Lars said to Sora as he stood up and walked out on to the roof.
