Chapter 20- Intreging Path Lays ahead for Mickey and his Army
Mickey,
Nero and Nave stepped forward. Riku and two of the hooded men did the
same. The other two walked the opposite direction, headed for the
control room. Minney followed them, wondering what they were
doing.
"Just give up now, Mickey. You can't possibly win
against three thousand Heartless and three master Keyblade
weilders!"
"Alone no. But I'm not alone, am I? I have
four Keyblade weilders at my side, each of which are ready for
action, Along with Donald and Goofy! Try and rethink that!"
Riku
stepped forward, drawing his Keyblade. It was pure black, in the form
of the Kingdom Key. The King recognized it immediatly. The Keyblade
of Eternal Darkness. "You can't win, even with these rejects. I
have two of the best weilders out there! Show them." He turned
to the other two hooded men, each lowering their hoods. Riku went up
next to the one on the left, who also raised his right sleeve,
revealing a metaliic arm. "This is Darnasus, the master of fire
spells and Keyblades, of course." He walked over to the other,
who had scars over his entire face. "This is Napour, a Master of
combos and, again, Keyblades. You have no chance."
"I
know we do! You can say that all you want, but until you actually
fight us, you won't understand the true power of the Keyblade
Army!"
"The Keyblade Army?" Riku said smugly,
bursting into laughter shortly afterwards. "You call yourselves
an army? What you see before you," He pointed to the Heartless,
Nobodies and Darnasus and Napour," is an Army. Your more like a
scouting party, if that."
"We may be small," Nave
said, ready to attack, "but we are strong!"
"Well
then. Let's see you prove your worth." Riku shot forward,
passing Mickey and Nave and locking Keyblades with Parton. "You
did your job well. You are no longer needed!" He added pressure
to him hold, forcing Parton to lose grip and send his Keyblade
flying. Riku raised his into the air, and swung down, Parton
disappearing nito a cloud of black smoke.
"Parton!"
Soultail shouted, swinging for Riku. Before her Keyblade could hit
him, he teleported away, not reappearing. "You coward! Come back
and FIGHT ME!" She slowly began to cry as she lunged for Napour,
her mind clouded by fury and rage. They got inot a massive battle of
blocks, misses, and hard blows, while the rest of them fought Napour
and the army of three thousand. Mickey, Goofy, Nave and Nero held
back the Heartless and Nobodies, while Donald cast spells to destroy
some of his own.
They had defeated nearly a thousand of them when
a cry of pain from a male was heard. Soultail had defeated Napour,
his body fading into the air.
"I will be back!" he
shouted with the rest of his strength. "I will come back to
avenge my death!" With that, he faded entirly, the smoke gone
from the area.
The fighting continued for nearly three hours, most
of the Heartless and all the Nobodies defeated. As they were about to
do combat with Darnasus, the ground beneath them shook. Darnasus,
looked behind him, smiled, and walked through a portal he had
generated. The remained Heartless ran or disappeared in
fear.
"This..." Nave began to say "...Cant be
good."
Meanwhile,
Minney had followed the two to the control room. She had seen them
seal the door, and they were headed out when a someone in blood red
robes stopped them.
"Where do you two think your going?"
She asked them, drawing two Keyblades. They were gone before Minney
was able to see what had happened, the woman lowering her hood. She
walked over to Minney, who looked at the woman with a strange look.
"Who are you?" The Queen asked.
"You don't
recognize me? Well, I guess being your old trainer doesn't account
for anything, huh?"
