A/N: This is it, the last wonder. Somewhere in here lies that last battle that will either save or destroy all of the worlds. Beyond this is a realm of chaotic souls and rampant emotions. With this last wonder comes another battle with Xehanort. But, they all have to get there first. I hope you all like it! Please review it too! Thanks!
By the way, thanks to Narwhalsrsmexy and Xaccemflare for their continued help and support! So here we go!
Part XXXIV: The Wonder of a Wonder
"No, like this Tobi. You jump and then flip back like this." This is getting annoying. I've watched Sora do this four times now. The Gardens lost a bit of their wonder when the first platform was out of my reach. He's trying to show me how to jump higher. Sure, he gets right up there. Fine, I'll give it one more try. After that, I say screw it and I'll use the glider no matter what happens to this place. Alright, here I go. Come on and jump. And here comes the part where I…land? What the? I did it. I actually did it! "See I told you you could do it!"
"Wow. That was so cool! I…I…wow. That really just worked!" Am I really on this thing? I stamp my foot on this section of garden. Yep, it's real. That was amazing. I just had to think about it. I saw myself moving through the air and then leaning back into the flip and then I landed. All in a second.
"Alright, come on then. We've got a long way to go." I watch Terra and the others do what I just did without any issue. I sigh, but other than that I don't object. Here we go. The others stay ahead of me, but Ven's nice enough to at least wait until I've gotten the hang of it.
We're about half way there, but there's something different about this ledge. Look, there's this opening between all of the flowers.
"Guys, check this out." Sora's already up to the next platform, but he can jump back. I point into the big garden. "Whatdya bet something's down there?"
"A lot. Come on." Van leads the way down into this strange corridor. I'm right behind him, or at least I think I am. It's super dark in here. That can't be good. Terra just walked through and this wall of light sealed the way behind us. Although, now there are torches that just lit up, so at least we can see, silver lining, right? Wow, there are walls of flowers living in here…they're so bright and colorful, but they've been sealed in here for centuries. How are they still alive? Some of them are bigger than I am, and some are bigger than me and Sora put together! Most of them are some shade of purple-ish black.
Not stopping to look at the scenery, Van keeps leading us through here. For the most part it's only been a big long hall. There are these holes up in the tops of the gardens that line both sides where water is rushing out of. Other than that, there's nothing. No markings or anything. But there has to be something in here.
"Dead end." I look at the huge room Van got us to. The walls are still blank.
"Maybe there's another door. Like the one into here?" I turn to Ven who's busy pushing on the immobile stone wall. I don't think we're going to find something like that here.
"Ven, why would they hide something here? You've already found the important bit. This is probably just where they trap you to die." Lovely thought Roxas, thanks.
"Looks like you were right, Roxas! Look out!" I roll away as this huge beast falls from the sky. Whoa, I can't regain my balance. Alright there we go.
"What is this thing?"
"Doesn't look like a Heartless or a Nobody." It has these tails that seem almost like fabric floating behind it. Remember that thing from Rhodes, well this thing is bigger, a lot bigger. It's fangs are easily the size of three Terras.
"Watch out!" Why did Van just shove me…crap. That's why. Wow, that claw was nearly the end of me. "There, we're even."
"Thanks!" I grab my Keyblade. Here we go. We spilt around the thing trying to draw its attention. Whoa! It just split into seven slightly smaller things. I've got this. I can do this. I back toward a corner with this thing following me. This is it. I jump up and flip backwards, but I make sure to kick my feet against the wall. I flip back over the monster. There, I landed on its back. Agh, I can't stand up well. It's jumping too much. I drive my blade into its flesh, but not much happens. Yeagh, whoa! Agh…come on get back up. My back is burning. I was slammed into the wall. Can't think about that now. I can't give up. My Keyblade is stuck in that things back. Come on, come back. Geez, without that there, it's moving really quick. "Fire!" Got him! Right in the…okay then, didn't do much. I've got to get back on it. I can't just jump on it though. I've got to get him back to the corner. It's my only shot. Here we go. It worked! Come on now. Stay up there. I get a good hit on it! This thing has to be almost…there! Got him! Ugh, it's dissolving. That's not pleasant.
"There, that wasn't so bad then." I join Aqua and the others near the center of the room.
"Some trap."
"Did you want to die Van?" I raise an eyebrow, hoping that he didn't.
"Not good." What's Terra...crap. All of those dark wisps are gathering together. Oh man, there's that thing again. Not the bunch of little ones either. I'm done with this thing. We've got a world to save this time, and I'm not going to let this monster get in our way.
"Sora!" I look over to my brother. With a quick nod, we clasp our hands.
"Right!" Here we go. "Light!" Whoa, what just happened? I'm still here! Something feels weird…my clothes, they're all…purple. And I've got two keyblades?! Move. Where'd that come from? Yipes, okay, do what the voice says. Come on, together. It sounds like…Sora. There he is. Follow me. His voice is so clear. Circling the monster, we come together at the back. Up its back. Why can I hear that? Whatever. Drag your blades. Got it. Together. Our hands wrap around each other, and he levers me over to the wall. Stab it. I lunge from the wall. My Key slices into the monsters back, just as Sora's goes from underneath. Reach out. Okay. Whoa, all of these lights appear around the monster. The white light hurts my eyes. Whatever. I can deal with it. Now. My fingers lace with his. Fire and light burst from the spots. Shearing their way into the beast, whatever just happened does a lot of damage. Cross blades. There's a loud clank as the metal clashes. Whoa. They both just lifted from my hands, Sora's too. Be as one. We connect our hands. More bright light reaches out. I can't even see what happens. Why do I suddenly feel…sick…I…can't breathe…
A/N: What happened?! XD Please review! Thanks!
