Mysterious Tower

Yen Sid and the others were discussing whether or not they should investigate Nexus going to an unfamiliar place , "I don't think we should investigate."

"Why not?" Riku asked Sora.

"It doesn't seem like Nexus is going anywhere populated." He said to Riku.

"I agree with Riku." Aqua said.

"Even if Nexus is not endangering innocent lives," Nick started, walking into the room. "We need to investigate to ensure that he can't do anything that does."

Nexus was flying in the sky of an unfamiliar world. He flew towards what looked like a mine. He entered the mine in his jet. His jet disappeared in midair and he landed on his feet. He walked forward a few feet and Maleficent walked out of the shadows. She smirked, "You don't waste time."

He summoned his Keyblade blaster and aimed it at her, "Your mistake to challenge me has been your last." But before he could fire, he was tackled from behind by a Heartless . But he rolled forward and grabbed the Heartless and threw it at a wall. It immediately recovered and jumped into the air, landing in front of Nexus, it roared at him.

"I will let you two get acquainted." Maleficent said before disappearing in black and green flames . She reappeared above them, standing near another tunnel. She watched them.

Nexus looked at the Heartless, "Bow before Nexus, your king." But the Heartless did not obey him and charged at him. Nexus raised his blaster, "I said bow d-" But he was interrupted by the Heartless hitting his arm and grabbing his head, flipping over him and throwing him into a wall. Nexus got up to see the Heartless lunge at him and pin him against the wall. Nexus grunted, struggling to get free. Maleficent smiled evilly, enjoying watching Nexus struggle. Nexus managed to free his arm and fire at the Heartless, sending it flying. It recovered and charged at him. Nexus prepared to fire at it again but Maleficent used her magic to enable him from using his Keyblade blaster. Nexus looked at her for a second before returning his focus to the Heartless, which grabbed him and threw him into the air. The Heartless then began to climb and jump from wall to wall until it hit the ceiling. It then kicked itself off the ceiling and into Nexus, making him fall out of the air and into the ground. The Heartless jumped backwards and landed on it's hands and feet . Nexus got up and watched as the Heartless charged at him. When it lunged at him, he back-handed it, making it fly back into a wall. Maleficent looked at the Heartless and then at Nexus.

Nexus looked at her, "You and your minion would do well to remember: I am King of Darkness not only do to my pure darkness, but also my might and cunning!" He summoned his Keyblade and charged at the Heartless which was charging at him. He raised his Keyblade and blocked the Heartless's attack.

The mine's entrance

A portal opened and the Heroes stepped out of it. It closed behind them with a snap . Thunder roared and lightning struck in the dark sky above them.

They all looked inside the mine as Nick said, "Proceed with extreme caution."

Inside the mine

Nexus repeatedly clashed his Keyblade with the Heartless's tendril of darkness. He swung his Keyblade at it but it leaped over him. Nexus spun around, swinging his Keyblade but the Heartless jumped backwards.

"Whoa." Said Sora as they watched the scene from above.

"I didn't think Maleficent would be here." Said Donald.

"It seems that she planned this." Explained Nick. "Hoping that she could destroy Nexus so she can rule the worlds."

"Well you can have whatever is left of Nexus. Maleficent is mine!" Riku told them.

"Riku, no!" Nick said. But he was already going after her. Riku and Maleficent went deeper inside of the cave as Kairi, Lea, Ventus, Donald and Goofy followed him.

Nexus continued fighting the Heartless. He attacked the Heartless repeatedly. He punched it, making it stagger back. He then ran up to it and jumped into the air and spun around, kicking it. He looked to where Maleficent was once standing but didn't see her. He looked to the right and saw Nick, Sora, Aqua and Mickey watching him from where they were, "So many surprises today." The Heartless climbed the wall behind Nexus and lunged at him. But Nexus spun around and swung at it.

Riku was dodging Maleficent's attacks. He fired at her with his Keyblade blaster. He heard the others calling his name but ignored them. He soon found himself outside. But then something hit him from behind and then saw nothing. Kairi and the others found him unconscious.

XXXX

Nexus punched the Heartless and grabbed it's tendrils. He raised his foot and kicked the Heartless in the chest, tearing it's tendrils off it's body. He threw them aside and summoned his Keyblade. He ran at it and swung his Keyblade, cutting it's head off. It's head flew through the air before landing on the ground and fading away along with the rest of it. He panted saying, "Let that be a warning to anyone who dares fight a King of Darkness ! Be they sided with darkness-" Nick and the others jumped down from where they were before and surrounded him, aiming their blasters at him. "-or light." He finished. He took a few steps forward before falling to his knees in front of Nick. "Well, it seems that I am at your mercy. So what is it going to be, Nick? Let me live... Or end this here and now?"

Nick was conflicted about what to do... Until he summoned his Keyblade blaster and aimed it at Nexus's face.
