A/N: On with the games! :p
No spoilers but I've recently finished Kingdom Hearts (As I forgot to mention in the last chapter I posted) And you guys, SUCH AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER! That's all I'm gonna say ;)
Disclaimer: Nope
Olympic Games pt3
(Vanitas)
Terra completely wrecked that Rock Titan I swear, half the fight he had his eyes closed. Dirt clouded the entire arena from the enormous titan's impact as it hit the ground. Everyone in the stands was coughing their lungs out, including myself.
"Damn!" Riku cried,"That was one hell of a fight!"
"Says the one who cleared out the arena!" Ventus growled. "All I got were a bunch of shadow balls, soldiers, and yellow opera's!"
"You cleared the arena too, Ventus." Riku replied calmly.
"That was a round for a rookie!" Ven growled.
Am I an asshole for laughing?
"Looks like Terra cleared that round!" Phil announced. "Great job, Terra! Now for our next contestant...VANITAS!"
"ALRIGHT!" I shout, jumping up to my feet. "Time to get this party started."
"Lets hope you get an actual boss fight." Ventus muttered, well somebody's a bit salty.
My heart was racing in my chest as I sprint down the benches down to the rink.
I wonder what I was going to fight? If Phil sends out a shadow horde, I honestly wouldn't care. I was just thrilled to have this opportunity. I couldn't wait to show everyone the light in my heart as I fought.
"Alright, lets do this!" I say, summoning Void Gear in my right hand.
"Vanitas? Long time no see..." A taunting voice came from the shadows.
That voice was way too familiar to my comfort.
"Who are you!?" I sneer, I take a step forwards holding Void Gear out in front of me. "Show yourself."
All I could see before me was a black and dark purple void of darkness.
"I'm disappointed, I thought you were stronger than this." The voice echoed behind the cloudy depths of the dark void.
"WHO ARE YOU!" I shout, my patience running thin.
The entire audience up in the stands grew dead silent.
"Lets just say, an old friend..."
I took a step back as a green witch with black horns growing from her head wearing a black scraggly robe emerged from the dark shadows.
Maleficent. The dark fairy.
"We were never friends!" I snap, waving my keyblade right in front of her.
She only sneered at my response.
I pointed out to the stands.
"You see that group up there!? High in the stands? Those are my friends! They showed me how to care, how to smile, how to laugh, how to love. THAT's what real friends are!"
"You fool!" Maleficent snarled, as dark mist started to encircle around her. "Love does not give you power! Only DARKNESS!"
I cry out as a large burst of dark mist submersed from Maleficent, I shield my eyes with my arms as I become surrounded by darkness. A dark and monstrous roar ripped through the air.
As I open my eyes. I now see a black dragon in front of me with glowing green eyes and a glowing green snake-like tongue.
"YOU'RE WRONG!" I cry, swinging Void Gear over my head, bright blue orbs of line dazzle and fly around me at my movements.
Malefecent rolled her long neck around before blasting large bodies of fire towards me.
"Barrier!" I cry, summoning a shield of magic around me just in time before the sizzling flames reached me, they bounced off the clear barrier I created with Void Gear and flew back towards Maleficent.
The specks of fire swarm at the dark fairy, pleating her in all different directions. She hissed and cringed at the multiple burn injuries she receives. I use this chance to break my barrier and charge after her, telaporting myself across the rink to get to her faster.
"Darkness is nothing but self hate!" I leap in the air and slash Void gear down on her neck, I then teleport over to the top of her head. "pity!" I bring down void gear on her head, the contact with her head and the blade of void gear made a sickening cracking sound, but I didn't stop.
I glided through the air and continued to slash her, at her sides, her arms, her legs, her heart.
"AND HATE! AND I REFUSE TO BE THAT WAY EVER AGAIN! MY HEART IS STRONGER THAN THAT NOW!" I shout, letting out a cry as I raise void gear over my head before swinging it down in front of me, jamming it straight into her chest.
Maleficent howled and screamed at the contact before collapsing to her side.
Like before, dark shadows and mists swarm around her as she slowly transforms to her human form. Her breathing is shallow and she looks up at me, with defeat and rage in her eyes.
"You're a fool." She spat.
I shake my head.
"No. You are."
(Sora)
I was so on edge. Despite how Kairi was feeling she still wanted to fight, don't get me wrong, I admire the strength and devotion in her heart but I couldn't stop worrying about her!
What if her condition is worse? What if she gets hurt?
"SNACKS! SNACKS! WHO WANTS SNACKS!" Phil shouts.
"Huh!?" I look over to see Phil hobbling over the stands with a tray full of snacks.
"Phil? Aren't you suppose to be announcing the opponents!?" Roxas asks curiously, then eyes the sea salt ice cream hungrily. "Buuttt...I will take one of those..."
"Two please!" Axel adds.
"I'll take those noodles." I murmurer.
Why not? Maybe some food will calm my nerves.
Phil nods and hands us all our snacks.
"I'll have a Paopu fruit punch soda please." Kairi says weakly besides me.
"Herc and I are taking turns between snack handling and the listings." Phil replies, digging a soda out of the cooler he was dragging around like a suitcase.
"Damn, this job sucks!" Phil grunts as he hands Kairi her soda. "I'm sweating my ass off! And this shit's heavy! Herc should stick with handling the heavy stuff, and I should stick with shouting at people!"
"Thank you." Kairi replies, taking the soda from Phil. "I'm so sorry you feel that way, I hope you guys can switch again soon. Your hard work is much appreciated."
"For sure! You're killing it, Phil!" Jessie adds, giving Phil a thumbs up.
"I AM! Killing myself!" Phil growled, wiping a huge patch of sweat off his forehead.
"You have to go to Agrabah sometime." Ari says, reaching over to grab a soft served pretzel from the basket. "The weather here is cold comparing to that world." I watch her as her eyes move to Vanitas as soon as he arrives up on the stands, his chest puffing in and out, beads of sweat dripping down from his temples.
He shoots us all a grin.
"Hey guys." He greets.
"Van!" Ari shoots up from her seat to throw her arms around him in a big hug.
Vanitas's eyes widen and he gasps from the sudden contact from Ari. "Whoa! Hey there!"
"I'm sorry..." Ari mutters as she slowly breaks the hug. "I just...I knew you could do it...what you said...about us...and your heart."
I could see tears form in her eyes.
Vanitas grins. "Well its true. You guys are turning me into a big softie, and I think I'm starting to like it, is that a hamburger!? Give me that!" He snatches a burger from Phils basket and savagely unwraps the tinfoil off it.
"HEY!" Phil shouted, "That's 200 munny!"
"That's fine." Vanitas mutters, taking a huge bite from the burger. "Sora's paying."
"WHAT!?" I cry, spilling my noodles.
"HEY! THAT BURNS YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Xehanort shouts from the lower stands.
"Oops! Sorry, Xehanort!" I cry and glare at everyone. "Why am I paying!?"
"Because, you make more money than all of us! You pick up all the munny the heartless drop." Axel says between licks of his ice cream.
I growl and fish through my pockets to get my munny. "Alright! Alright! Fair enough! My treat!" I say, handing Phil the money.
"Thanks kid!" Phil laughs as he stuffs my munny into his basket where all the snacks used to be. "I'm getting myself a massage chair!" He exclaims before trotting down the stands.
"He's a weirdo." Vanitas mutters with his mouthful.
Ari giggles and takes his arm and leads him over to their seats besides us.
I couldn't help but smile. It was so nice to see those two getting along. I honestly believe that Ari is the light in Vanitas or that she has shown Vanitas the true light in himself. Either way, I'm so happy for them!
"You wrecked it, Vanitas!" Jessie said, licking at her Popsicle.
He grinned. "I know, I showed that bitch."
I looked over at Kairi who was as pale as a ghost.
"You okay?" I rest my hand on her shoulder. "If you need to rest, I can bring you back to our room. Kairi, your health is more important to me than these games, you know that."
Kairi sipped her soda and leaned against me, giving me a small smile.
"I'll be okay Sora. This soda is helping with the nausea actually, and I'm having so much fun with everyone here."
"THAT A GIRL!" Axel cries, leaning over to pat Kairi's other shoulder. "We're here for you, and you are going to kick major butt out there!"
Kairi turned over her shoulder to give Axel a smile. "Thanks, Axel. You too."
"You know it!" He grinned over at Roxas who was nibbling on his ice cream quietly.
"Hey, Roxy? You alright?" Axel wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
Roxas sighed. "Yeah, just a bit nervous I guess."
"Aww! You'll do fine!" Xion says from behind me. "You're stronger than you think!"
Roxas opened his mouth to respond but I couldn't hear him over the loud speaker as Herc began to speak.
"Alright, Sora! You're up!"
"Oh! That's me!" I say, hesitantly getting up, I look down at Kairi.
I feel a hand on my lower back. I turn around to look at Axel.
"She'll be alright, Xion and I will keep a close eye on her."
I nod. "Thanks, Axel."
I get down on my knees in front of Kairi and place my hands on her soft thighs.
"I'll be right back, okay? I shouldn't be too long...I love you Kairi."
Kairi smiles and places one of her small hands over mine. "Come here, you bum."
She tugs on my hand pulling me close to her, that was my Que and wrap my arms around her in a full hug. I embrace her petite body close and against mine, I bury my face into her hair that smelt of coconuts and fresh air, like home.
"I love you." I repeat, nuzzling my nose against the soft and sweet skin on her neck that I loved so much.
I ended up dropping my bowl of noodles once more subconsciously, but the loud crash and hollering from Xehanort snapped me right out of my love trance.
The ice titan leaps off the pillars and lands right before me with a deafening BOOM!
I stumble as the ground shakes beneath my feet. The sun is bright and blinding to me as I peer up at the ice titan before me.
It looks down at me with a displeased look, spreading out its sharp brisk arms.
I summon Kingdom Key as I squint up at the giant.
"Good to see you again!" I greet.
The titan growls softly, I'm not sure if it was a greeting or a warning.
"Right...uh...so lets fight!" I say, stepping back in my best battle stance.
The ice titan let out a low growl as it slowly swung one of it's long icy arms at me.
I dodge rolled it swiftly and was able to complete a counterattack, digging the teeth of my keyblade into its arms.
"Firaga!" I shout, jumping back as I cast a few fire balls out from my keyblade, knocking the ice titan back from its force and intense heat.
I watched as the titan raised a hand summoning sharp shards of ice that came flying at me.
I raise Kingdom Key, blocking every ice shard and giving it back to the titan. I then barrel roll my entire body towards the titan and ram my keyblade into its foot.
The titan snarled and smacked me away with its icy hand, sending me flying back across the arena.
I could feel my skin burn from the sharp cold contact from the titan's icy hand. That was a reckless move! I guess my mind is still on Kairi. I couldn't help but worry, I've seen her sick before but...this just seemed off to me.
"SORA!" RIku shouted from the stands.
"Huh!?"
I look over just in time to see the Titan's enormous hand come down on my face, its strength slamming my entire body into the ground. I gagged, coughed, and sputtered as I choked on dirt.
"Whoa, Sora! Eyes on your opponent! You got this." Herc's voice came from the speakers.
He was right. I needed to pay more attention. But...Kairi...
I jump up to my feet, throwing my keyblade toward the titan using strike raid.
I watched as mt keyblade spun towards it at a blinding speed before striking the titan right in the face before it flew back into my waiting hand.
The titan stumbled back and roared, stomping its foot in rage, causing the ground beneath it to turn to solid ice.
I better mind where I step.
"TAKE THIS!" I roar, swinging my keyblade at my sides before rising it above my head.
"AREOGA!" I cry, sending gusts of strong wind out from my keyblade. It blew through my hair in clothes and made the pillars around the arena shake as it whirled its way over to the ice titan. He gazed at it curiously before it took him right off his feet and began spinning him around in circles.
Now it was time to end this.
I sprint towards the pillar closest to me, my hair blowing behind me, my legs moving as fast as I could as I throw myself up onto the pillar running up the marble structure, the ground growing smaller to me.
"IT'S OVER!" I shout, as I leap off the pillar in a swift back flip landing on my feet, onto the ice titans's torso.
I tried to focus on the titan instead of the fact that I was violently spinning around and around in circles with it from my aero spell. No giving up! I bring my keyblade down, plunging it deep into the titan's stomach, causing millions of ice shards to shatter out from it, as if you were breaking a mirror.
I then leaped off the titan's body, spreading out my arms and legs as I allow my body to fall at full speed towards the ground. I could feel the wind on my face and hair as it blew and whipped past me.
I lunge my body forwards and roll myself on the ground, breaking my fall.
My heart racing in my chest as I greedily take in air.
The crowed cheered and once again Herc's voice came from the speakers, I guess Phil was still serving snacks!
"Wow, Sora! That was quite a fight! Let's give another round of applause for our true hero, Sora!"
I laughed and waved awkwardly as everyone cheered and applauded for me again.
"You're all too kind!" I gush.
"Up next, is our well known Princess! Kairi!"
I felt my heart skip a beat and my entire body tense up.
It was her turn already?
(Axel)
"I guess this is me!" Kairi announced, neatly setting her soda down in her seat. I watched her as she took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"Hey, Kai? Are you sure you're going to be okay? You don't have to fight. It's okay! If you're not feeling your best you will not fight at your best." Aqua says, taking her hand gently.
Kairi nods. "I know, but...I'll be fine. I can do this."
"KAIRI!"
Sora sprints up the stairs and clumsily hops over to us, his breathing was loud and fast as if he's been underwater for hours.
"Dude, breathe!" I cry.
Sora gives me a thumbs up and then takes Kairi's small hands in his bigger ones.
"Ka-Kairi...I...I don't want to stop you, I'm not stopping you from fighting but...I just don't want you to get hurt Kairi..." Sora gasps, breathing loudly in between his sentences.
Kairi smiles and cups his face in her hands, I feel like I should look away to give them their moment privately but I didn't.
"Sora, I'll be okay." She leans in and gives him a soft kiss, she then turns to all of us and gives us a nod and then descends down the stands.
Sora watches her until she gets to the arena before he takes his seat. I see that his entire body is shaking.
"Sora." Riku gets up from his seat next to Jessie to sit down next to Sora. "She's going to be alright. She seems to be a lot better."
"These games are tough, Riku...I know shes strong. I just...could never forgive myself if something happened to her." Sora replied, tears started to stream down his cheeks.
Ventus, Xion, Jessie, Ari, Aqua, and Terra went over to pull Sora in a big group hug as he began to cry.
His sobs were soft but really heartbreaking. He was so passionate and in love with Kairi, that I could feel it. His love for her is strong.
"Hey, if worse comes to worse we can always pull her out of the rink!" Ari says, patting his head.
"Y-you can do that!?" He asks, looking up at Ari.
She waves a hand. "Of course! I mean, its not allowed but, I'll do it for a friend! Even if I get disqualified! Whatever."
"Whoa! Who's the rebel now?" Vanitas questions smirking at Ari.
I look over at Roxas who was silent as a rock.
I poke his cheek gently. "Hey, don't tell me your worried too?"
Roxas was silent for a few moments before he wiped his nose and looked up at me with watery eyes.
The sight made my heart sink.
"Roxas..." I whisper, taking his hands in mine. "Tell me, whats wrong?"
"It's just..." Roxas shook his head and took a deep breath before he continued. "You know how I told you about my fear of fighting in front of everyone?"
I nod slowly.
"Well...I-I'ms still scared..."
Aw, the poor thing.
"Hey..." I hush him as I pull him into my arms. He rests his head on my chest like a scared child, I run my hands up and down his back soothingly as I talk. "Don't you dare think for a second that you're not good enough, because you're more than good enough."
"To who?" Roxas whimpers.
Gently, I cup his chin with my hand and tilt it upwards so I could look down into his sky blue eyes.
"To me."
