Me: Wow. It's been quite awhile. Sorry about the wait everyone. I honestly have almost no free time anymore XP Anyway, today's suggestion was sent by many different people. I think, like, three different people suggested the same battle. So that's what we're going with: Sora vs. Vanitas! I can't remember who originally requested this, so sorry:'( thank you anyway though!

Sora steps out onto the field, choosing Bond of Flame as his weapon. Vanitas smirks and calls out Void Gear. The two look-alikes stare at each other from across the arena as the ground shifts and becomes the wide, open plaza of Radiant Garden. Neither of them flinches at the change of scenery and dead silence befalls the air again. Off in the distance, the gong sounds.

Vanitas shoots forward like a comet, his key pointed straight outward to cut a path. Sora rolls to the side, avoiding him, then points his key outward and shoots a ray of light. Vanitas sees it and sinks into the ground under it. Sora's eyes bulge out in shock as the dark Keybearer bursts out from underneath him. Void Gear slices upward across Sora's body before Vanitas sinks back down into the ground. Sora clutches at his scratch and focuses intently on the ground. Just as Vanitas burst back up, Sora flips backward away from him, slicing Van's shoulder on the way.

The dark key wielder glares angrily at his foe and switches tactics. He slices his Keyblade across horizontally, firing shards of ice outward. Sora flips over and between them, casting his own Blizzara spell afterward. Vanitas counters with Firaga and jumps at his opponent once again. Sora blocks the incoming flurry of combos. Switching to the offensive at the first chance he gets, the brunette does an uppercut in an attempt to knock away his foe's guard. It works for a moment, but when Sora stabs inward, Vanitas warps away from it, appearing behind the boy and kicking him in the back. Sora lands on his hands and knees, quickly whipping around and getting back up.

The sky darkens as a storm rolls in. Vanitas floats into the air and a strange, cannon-like object appears in front of him. Immediately, a massive beam of energy continually shoots outward from it. Sora rolls away from it, proceeding to take off running as it turns toward him. The ray is soon mere inches behind him and slowly gaining. Sora grits his teeth as he glances behind him. He's also reaching a wall. As the beam nearly nips at his shoes, the Keyblade Master runs up the wall and backflips over the beam, which hits the wall and stops. Sora then sprints back toward his opponent, leaping through the air with key raised. Vanitas steps back as Sora lands to avoid the attack. Sora goes into his own frenzy of combos, which Vanitas manages to block. With a fist cloaked in darkness, Vanitas socks Sora away from him and launches more dark fireballs with his hand. Sora lands on his feet and slashes the dark orbs away, sending them back at Vanitas.

Vanitas cartwheels right between them and then jumps up into the air. "Suffer!" he yells, hurling an array of dark energy downward. Sora blocks just in time, gritting his teeth as the attack sparks across his Keyblade. Going into an all-out offensive, the teen points his key forward and launches Magnet. Vanitas is drawn towards it against his will, which allows Sora to swing upward and slice at his opponent. Van growls and breaks free of the spell, only to have Sora use Thundaga. Vanitas dodges it by teleporting above Sora. He brings his weapon down from over his head with all his might. Sora whips around frantically and just manages to step aside in time. The ground cracks slightly where the Keyblade hits. Vanitas cries out angrily and swings forcefully again, this time straight across his body. Sora arcs his body as the blade swings by him, barely knicking his shirt.

Vanitas continues the onslaught, swinging from every direction and warping back and forth. Sora guards them completely on instinct. Vanitas suddenly warps directly behind Sora, taking the boy by surprise. Void Gear connects with his chest and blasts him backward. They Keybearer shakily gets up to see Vanitas soaring straight at him. He ducks right under his foe, jabbing upward as Vanitas passes. The doppelganger's eyes widen in pain as he careens to the ground, Bond of Flame jutting straight out from his side. He pushes himself up and rips the blade out of himself. His mask begins to crack from smashing into the ground, and as it chipps away and falls to the floor, his vengeful eyes are watching his enemy. When his full face is revealed, Sora's eyes widen in shock.

"This ends now," Vanitas growls, hovering into the air. The ground cracks under him, shattering all of Radiant Garden. Sora shields himself as he falls through the rubble into a dark, starry space. He looks around confusedly, but not for long. Vanitas rockets across the field, smashing into Sora. The boy is knocked out of his awed daze. He quickly recovers from the impact just as Vanitas soars in again. Hurtling backward from the impact again, Sora forces himself to concentrate on his enemy. When Vanitas comes in again, the Keybearer flips around him and fires a beam of light. Vanitas is struck in the back. He counters with a dark ray that shoots across the arena. Sora barely guards it with Bond of Flame. Vanitas fires through the air, smashing the brunette over and over. After the assault, Sora is panting and on his last leg. He falls to his hands and knees, energy slowly draining. But just like every Keyblade Master before him, he never gives in.

Vanitas glowers down at his nearly-defeated opponent and breaks into a malicious grin. His weapon is pointed straight at the back of Sora's neck. "Any last words?"

Sora grins to himself and slowly looks up at his counterpart with a smirk. "As a matter of fact…" With a burst of light that blinds his foe, the Keybearer shoots at Vanitas with a tail of light following him like a shooting star. He hacks at Van as he passes, whipping around and doing it again. He continues over and over at unimaginable speeds until the entire room is filled with light. When it clears and the dark unknown sets back in, Vanitas' weapon falls and he drops to his knees. His eyes slowly close as he falls forward onto his stomach, fading into nothing. Sora pants exhaustedly as the arena darkens into the blackest of nights.
