Maleficent's rock crashed into the ground and crumbled into a million pieces. They went flying outward and hit all the heartless she'd summoned. They disappeared into black puffs of smoke. I ducked down but one chunk of rock hit me in the arm.
"OWWW!" I yelped. There was an audible crack. I didn't want to look down at my arm but I did anyway. There was a big red splotch of skin where the rock had hit but on the opposite side of my arm I could see the bone poking against the skin. "FUCK!" I whimpered, I turned my head and tried to push the image down but it wasn't any use. I threw up.
"Meg!" Nessa came running up to me. She put her shield on the ground in front of us standing erect. A white orb suddenly rose up and encased us.
"How did you learn to do that?" I asked in amazement.
"I don't remember. But anyway, what happened?" She went to touch my arm but I jerked it away, then wincing in the pain. She moved towards me but noticed the small pile of throw up next to me. "Ew, that's disgusting."
"Well then don't look at it!" I shot back. She just laughed.
"Let me see."
"No!"
There was a loud scream from Maleficent and suddenly the shield around us disappeared. I looked out and Sora, Donald and Goofy were all looking towards a purplish orb floating near the edge of one of the walls. Then Sora turned around.
"What happened?" He asked, running over to us. I just shook my head.
"I think she broke her arm," Nessa said. Sora looked at the ground next to us.
"Ew that's disgusting," He pointed out the obvious. I just sighed, sounding as exasperated as I possible could.
"ANYWAY!" I said loudly. Standing up and ignoring the shooting pain in my arm. "Shouldn't we get through that portal over there and finish of Maleficent?" Sora nodded seriously but Nessa just looked at me in her concerned motherly way.
"Now Meg you've just broken your arm, your right arm at that and you're not ambidextrous are you?" She pointed out the obvious. I hated that. I just shrugged one shoulder, not wanting to move the other.
"What happened?" Donald asked. He and Goofy had just arrived at the scene of my demise.
"She broke her arm," Nessa answered for me.
"Oh-" Goofy started sympathetically. I threw up my left arm in annoyance.
"I'm fine. I don't see what all the fuss is about!" "Oh Meg, shut up you sound like Rachel." There was a silence for a moment.
"I can heal broken arms," Donald announced.
"Fantastic, do it now." I held my arm out to him. He looked at Nessa then back at me and raised his staff.
The green light was blinding but in seconds my arm was starting to feel much better. When it faded away everyone looked at my arm. I gasped.
"DONALD WHAT DID YOU DO?" Sora yelled. He bonked Donald on the head. I could feel all the blood draining from my face.
"Well. That complicates things a bit," Nessa muttered.
"A bit? A BIT!" I screeched. "LOOK AT MY ARM!" And indeed everyone was looking at my arm. It was a crooked mess. Donald had healed the bones but not set them. They still stuck out, pushing very hard on the skin.
With the most dignity I could muster I stood up and walked to the portal.
"Do you need some help?" Riku was up ahead. Maleficent was bent over and breathing heavily. She looked like she was done for.
"RIKU!" Sora yelled. He sped past the rest of us and stopped right before Riku. Something didn't look right. He was in a completely different outfit and he looked just like a heartless. The only thing that was normal about him was his silver hair, but his eyes were just off on the shade. Too bright to be natural.
"Is that-?" Donald started.
"Yes. A Keyblade," he answered. Sure enough in his hands was a Keyblade with an intricate red hilt with a black blade that seemed to suck up the light around it. "But unlike yours this Keyblade has the power to unlock people's hearts. Allow me to demonstrate." With lightening fast speed his Keyblade was deeply lodged in Maleficent's chest. "Behold."
"What-" Maleficent started.
"Now open your heart! Surrender it to the Darkness. Become the darkness itself."
With the last four words Riku had disappeared and we were left facing Maleficent. She was studying her arms and legs. Darkness swarmed out from under her cloak and she was definitely getting larger.
"Steady. Steady." Nessa muttered. We were all slowly stepping back. Within a few moments. Maleficent's head was nearly at the ceiling and she no longer resembled herself. She was a large black dragon with scales reflecting the room all around us. The thin membrane on her wings was the same shade of purple that had been on her robes. A loud laugh that came from the evil smile in the dragons face destroyed the silence in the room. Suddenly she was slamming her legs down onto the ground and a shockwave came rumbling towards us.
We leapt over the shockwave and as soon as she was on the ground she immediately opened her jaws as wide as they would and sent a green flame to all corners of the room. It reflected eerily in her scales. I clutched my staff tightly with my left hand and raced towards her burning mouth followed by Donald. Nessa, Sora and Goofy charged towards the dragons stomach. With ice attacks and stabbing we fought Maleficent again.
"MEG! DONALD! WHEN I SAY GO, SEND THE BIGGEST ICE ATTACK YOU CAN AT HER MOUTH!" I nodded in response. Suddenly Sora was up on her back and moving between the two wings. Goofy and Nessa were throwing their shields up at her soft underbelly. Then Sora was at the base of her neck, she lowered her head. "GO!"
I thought as many cold thoughts as I could think of. I thought of the ice and how it would be so cold it burned. My staff was shaking and I had to grab it with two hands. In one second all the ice was shooting out. It hit Maleficent's teeth on the left side and gummed them up, Donald having the same effect on the right. Nessa and Goofy caught their shields and slammed them down as hard as they could onto Maleficent's two front feet as she tried to rear up. Sora sent his Keyblade deep into her neck.
She roared so loudly and tried to breath the green flame out. All it did was melt some of the ice and sent a shower of water down on all our heads. She choked on her own fire and crashed on the ground.
"That was ingenious Sora," I complimented. He smiled proudly and we all stopped to look at each other. "Now what?"
"How ironic." We all whipped around. Riku was back. "She was just another puppet after all."
"What?" Donald snapped.
"The heartless were using Maleficent from the beginning. She failed to notice the darkness in her heart eating away at her. A fitting end for such a fool." He disappeared.
"What an ass hole!" I exclaimed. Sora scowled at me. "Sorry, but I mean honestly. Who says stuff like that?"
"I don't think he's himself."
"I don't care. Whoever that is, is an ass hole!"
"That's why we have to save them."
"Right. ON WARD MARCH."
