A/N: Thank you to Fille des Reves, MonMonCandie and AshKetchumDarkSide for reviewing! It means a lot! ;)

Listen to the Mysterious Figure music in slow motion. That is an order. It kills your ears, but man does it sound good!

I've never battled him (or her), so forgive it I get some things wrong!

Hope you enjoy! :D

XXXVIII. Courage

Ventus wasn't sure if it was courage, rash, or just acting plain stupid that made him confront that strange figure that he had spotted in the ruins of his old home. Whatever it was, he seriously regretted it.

"Who are you?" He demanded, just rolling out of the way of a purple laser that would have dealt serious damage. The figure replied with an unnerving silence, before using Collision Magnet. At the familiar black hole-like feeling, he began to sprint away as quickly as possible.

"You'll never take me alive!" He called back over the loud winds. The figure appeared to frown at his words, before teleporting beside him and whacking him hard. The boy flipped back and quickly cast a Cure spell to heal himself, but not before the figure shrouded himself in pillars of fire. He rushed forward, and the boy tried to block it, but ended up rolling out of the way.

Then he decided to become annoying, and he disappeared without trace, leaving his two swords floating around in thin air.

"Oh you tall... Thunder Surge!" Ven shouted, racing forward as bolts of thunder crackled out. It hit his opponent. He jumped back and shot forward a Mega Flare. As the huge ball of fire roared towards him, Ven ducked underneath it and used Thunder Surge again. It missed him, and the boy's punishment was another Collision Magnet. He flew around in the air, unable to defend himself from the finishing blow of his swords.

"Whatever in Kingdom Hearts you are, I hate you!"

A/N: Ven lost to MF. Ha-ha! :)

Then again, I can't even defeat the Vanitas Remnant... :(

Anyway, please review! ^_^
