Kingdom Hearts: Before the After
Chapter 37: Keyblade Master Sora vs. Drowned Ophelia
As they went into the cold tundra place called the dry ice quarry, Sora thought to himself, "Alright, when she comes here, I will have a fight of my life against the leader of the Drowning Doom army." Aqua asks Sora, "What's wrong Sora?" Sora said, "If I fight Drowned Ophelia, could I count on you and your friends to help me out?" Aqua placed her hand on Sora's shoulder and replied, "Sure Sora, we'll help you out, when would she get here?" Earthrock trilobite said, "Right about now, look!" as he point his finger at Drowned Ophelia as she appeared before them, Sora called Eddie and Lita, "Guys come quick, she's here!" Eddie and Lita ran into Sora's side as Lita said, "Ophelia?" Eddie asked, "Ophelia, what…happen to you." Drowned Ophelia said, "Do you really want to know?" as the mobile known as the organist appeared on the right side of her, they ready their weapons but Drowned Ophelia said, "Don't worry, this song only hurts me, Sora must know the truth about my birth of his new enemy." Sora said, "I think I may know what you're saying, Gravity Antonion could you activate the simulation program please?" Gravity Antonion replied, "Roger." As he activate the simulation program so that Sora to be the first to ask Drowned Ophelia, "When did It all started?" Drowned Ophelia said, "It all started when my other half walked alone on the road to a place known as the death's clutch, the gateway to the Sea of black tears." Sora said, "What happened to the other half?" Drowned Ophelia said, "My other half was heartbroken, hurtful, and sad because of the things Eddie told her, before you ask, I'm not blaming you Eddie, anyway, when my other half went to the entrance to the Sea of black tears, she realized that in order to earn her revenge, she will become a dark-half of her, a person with the power of darkness and the black tears, a person with a power that can turn its enemies into slaves, that's right, that person is me, Drowned Ophelia of the Drowning Doom army!" Sora said, "Whoa, now I know why you're my other new enemy besides vile because you have the power of darkness." Drowned Ophelia replied, "That's right, and now, you and your friends will perish by my undead army, hahahahahaha!"
Boss battle: Drowned Ophelia 1st battle
(Cue boss music: One who gets in our way theme from Xenoblade chronicles)
Before the fight between the ironheade and the Drowning Doom, Drowned Ophelia sets up her own stage that scares the wits out of Sora and his friends, but they can't turn back on the fight they made as Eddie said, "Fire up the stage!" the stage was set up and the fight against the Drowning Doom army has begun, Eddie said, "Which side they're attacking from Mangus." Mangus said, "Eddie, I can't see a thing through this fog, all I can tell you is that we are all gonna die." Alister said, "Well we can't just stand here and do nothing, let's take down the Leader of the Drowning Doom army so that we can stop the celestial order's plot." So they took down a few Gravediggers as Eddie said, "Ophelia, my father Riggnarok, was that the secret you're not telling me?" Drowned Ophelia said, "What about him." Eddie said, "He was the leader of the black tear rebellion who fought the same army as your parents." Drowned Ophelia said, "Liar, you don't know anything about my parents." Sora said, "That may be true, but it is the truth." Drowned Ophelia said, "Enough small talk Sora, let's fight right now." Sora said, "You want a fight, then we will fight with the power that I learned from a friend." As he press his hand on his shoulder guard and his armor appeared around him as he got into his fighting stance.
As Sora began fighting against Drowned Ophelia, they clashed their weapons as they looked at each other by their faces when Drowned Ophelia said, "You're stronger than I expected, but you're not tough enough to beat me." Sora replied, "That is where you're wrong, Dark Mantis!" Dark Mantis said, "Time for the never ending nightmare." As he and Sora unleashed their limit Attack known as Grim Reaper's Revenge, first Sora uses his Ars Arcanum technique to attack Drowned Ophelia from each side, then Dark Mantis uses his Night fury slash move to rapidly attack Drowned Ophelia, the attack ended with Sora and Dark Mantis used all their power to unleash their powerful Nightfall Arcanum attacks and they rapidly attacked Drowned Ophelia.
Sora said, "Let's go!"
Dark Mantis said, "I'll tear you apart!"

Drowned Ophelia was impressed by their combine might as she said, "You're not bad Sora, even in the inch of death I'm not finished yet, we'll meet again at the entrance to the Sea of black tears, the death's clutch." Sora replied, "Yeah." As Drowned Ophelia and the Drowning Doom army retreated to the death's clutch, Earthrock trilobite manage to throw a tracking device like he did before at Drowned Ophelia's arm before she escaped as Lita said, "do you see her?" Eddie looked around and he said, "No she's gone, but I did see something dangerous." As they ran to the part of the Drowning Doom stage as Eddie finished his sentence, "And I like it, I think it's time I show the second stage." They picked up a part thanks to Soldier stonekong's amazing strength as Eddie asks Mangus, "Alright, its caravan time, you ready to die?" Mangus said, "Geez man I freaked out enough already, you have to talk like that?" Eddie said, "Sorry I'm just trying to get you in a mood, for death hahahahaha, which is waiting for us down the road let's hit it!" Mangus said, "Oh man." They packed the stage up for the next area as Eddie said, "I'm ready Mangus." Mangus said, "To die? hahahahahaha." Eddie replied, "Well done." They manage to get through the obstacles and entered the path to the entrance of the Sea of Black tears where they once again met up with their enemies from the fight at the dry ice quarry with a help from the ice-based Raploids named Blizzard Wolfang the Wolf-based Raploid, Chill Penguin the Penguin-based Raploid and Blizzard Buffalo the Buffalo-based Raploid.

(Cue Boss music: One who gets in our way theme from Xenoblade chronicles.)
When they're at the entrance to the Sea of black tears, they noticed that they saw the Drowning Doom army coming right at them when Eddie and Sora saw Drowned Ophelia from above as she flew down to the ground and shared them her furious look as she summoned her army into battle against the ironheade army, then from out of nowhere a Raploid with the power to control the flowers and the sun attacked the Gravediggers and squeezed them hard with its vines, the Raploid's name is Optic Sunflower the Sunflower-based Raploid.

When Drowned Ophelia was defeated, Eddie said, "In the future this is referring to it as getting served." Drowned Ophelia, "You think you're the only time traveler this world has known, the demons beat you to it long ago, and send their own emperor into the future, to take back the lost secrets of the titans." Sora said, "Probably just did that to escape getting whacked from Eddie's father." Drowned Ophelia said, "Oh no, I heard he went along for a ride." She give Sora a 2-finger salute and she flew away to the Sea of black tears as Eddie said, "Ah don't run, we know where you live." Drowned Ophelia replied, "I know, I'll be waiting for you and Sora at the deep end." As she went to her lair of the black tears, when they went inside, they looked at it with awe looks as Eddie said, "There it is, the Sea of black tears." Mangus said, "Huh, it's really more like a making of the black tears isn't it?" Lita said, "If what she said it's true, if Riggnarok went forward in time with the emperor." Eddie said, "Then so what, obviously that was part of my old man's plan, because in the future there aren't too many demonic overlords walking around, except in record companies." Lita said, "I just don't think it's a good idea anymore, for you two to fight Ophelia, are you sure you guys wanna go through with it?" Sora said, "Definitely." Eddie said, "Hey, let's get set up for one last show." Lita replied, "Yeah, one last show, what if Lars could see us now eh Eddie, he wouldn't be surprised really, he always said you guys would lead us in a better life, You guys have done so much for us, never got much credit or even time to rest, and you know we never had much time to get to know each other not really, if you ever wondered Eddie, what if-
Lita and Sora looked at Eddie sleeping as she said, "Ah don't sweat it, we'll take care of this one." As they got the stage set up for one last battle against the Drowning Doom army, Eddie dreams of his time with Ophelia and when he wakes up, he noticed that the army is already set up as dark dizzy said, "This is it, the epic fight against the Drowning Doom army." Alister said, "Yes, our first epic battle in ages." Sora replied, "We can't stop now, let's finish this!" as the fight against the Drowning Doom army are getting underway, the rest of the Raploids arrived just in time, the first Raploid's name is Grizzly Slash the Grizzly bear-based Raploid, the second Raploid is Storm Eagle the Eagle-based Raploid, the third Raploid is Launch Octopus the Octopus-based Raploid, the fourth Raploid is Boomer Kuwanger the Stag beetle-based Raploid, the fifth Raploid is Bubble Crab the Crab-based Raploid, the sixth is Wire Sponge the Sponge Plant-based Raploid, the seventh Raploid is Crystal Snail the Snail-based Raploid, the eighth Raploid is Magna Centipede the Centipede-based Raploid, the ninth Raploid is Blast Hornet the Hornet-based Raploid, the tenth Raploid is Toxic Seahorse the Seahorse-based Raploid, the eleventh Raploid is Volt Catfish the Catfish-based Raploid, the twelfth Raploid is Crush Crawfish the crayfish-based Raploid, the thirteenth Raploid is Tunnel Rhino the Rhinoceros-based Raploid, the fourteenth Raploid is Gravity Beetle the Rhinoceros Beetle-based Raploid, the fifteenth Raploid is Jet Stingray the Stingray-based Raploid, the sixteenth Raploid is Infinity Mijinion the Water flea-based Raploid.

Eddie said, "Like Lars said, that is what we call an army." Ratchet said, "There are 16 of them and their helping us out." Sora said, "Not only that but they're willing to give us a hand when we needed." Ventus said, "Yeah." Aqua said, "Absolutely." Terra said, "Definitely." Kairi said, "Lars would be very proud of us winning against the Drowning Doom army." Alister said, "Agreed, let's finish this now!" just then a familiar people that Sora remembered back at the Radiant Garden arrived also to give them a hand as Sora said, "Guys, you're here just in time." Aerith said, "Sora, we're so glad you guys are okay." Sora asked, "What are you guys doing here?" Yuffie said, "Isn't that obvious, we're here to help you guys out." Leon said, "Mickey told us to find you all through the portal when he notices that we heard that you guys are fighting against the celestial order." Cloud said, "Let's show them the true power of the light." Tifa replied, "Yeah." As they helped Sora and his friends out on taking down the Drowning Doom army, Eddie asks Sora, "Who are those guys?" Sora said, "They are the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee." Eddie replied, "Ah, cool people."

After a long epic fight against the Drowning Doom army, Eddie and Sora approaches Drowned Ophelia and said, "I'm gonna finish my father's mission and kill the emperor, don't make us kill you too." Drowned Ophelia said, "Have you forgotten that the emperor and your father were the traveling companions?" Sora said, "Yeah, the emperor and Eddie's father went to the future, but then the emperor came back here, ironically just to be killed by us." Drowned Ophelia said, "The emperor never came back." Eddie said, "What? But we've seen him, you were with us when we saw emperor Doviculus remember?" Drowned Ophelia laughed manically and said, "Y-you think Doviculus, you think he was the emperor back then? Oh poor boy, hahahahahaha." As she was about to fly away, Sora manage to use his magnet spell to pull Drowned Ophelia right towards Sora and said, "what do you think you're going, we've got one last battle to start." Drowned Ophelia said, "What are you talking about, you guys defeated my army." Sora said, "We did, but you were about to escape, I manage to use my magnet spell to pull you towards me so that we can have this one last battle, just you and me." Drowned Ophelia said, "Alright Sora, if you want to have this one last battle against me, so be it." Sora replied, "Let's do it." As he activates his armor by press his hand on his shoulder guard and his full set of armor appeared around him and he and Drowned Ophelia began their one last battle.
True Boss Battle: Final Drowned Ophelia battle
Drowned Ophelia proved to be a powerful enemy/Rival, but Sora got the upper hand as he and Drowned Ophelia clashed their weapons and looked at each other when she said, "Give up Sora, you can't beat me." Sora said, "I'm not giving up, not until I beat you to the oblivion." Drowned Ophelia said, "Really, well let's see you can dodge this!" as she launches a Dark spell at Sora but he dodged it and launch an Ultima spell at her but she used a reflect spell to reflect the spell right back at Sora but he destroyed it with his Keyblade as she said, "Not bad, I have underestimated you." Sora replied, "You're not so bad yourself also." Drowned Ophelia said, "I think it's time we ended this." As she channels her power as she finishes her sentence, "Once and for all!" Sora uses his Shoot lock to ready his Ragnarok Cannon as Drowned Ophelia said, "You dare to face me even if you're weak? Hahahahaha, the only lesson you've learned is the art of fatality." Sora said, "You never know…until you try Drowned Ophelia." Drowned Ophelia replied, "That's enough!" as she launches her devastating Black tear Cannon at him and Sora launches his Ragnarok Cannon at her, when the bright light cleared out, Sora and Drowned Ophelia were still standing but Drowned Ophelia fall to her back as she was defeated.

Aqua walked up to Sora and said, "Are you okay Sora?" Sora replied, "Yeah, I'm okay, I'll be right back guys, I've got one last thing to do." As he approaches Drowned Ophelia who was lying on her back defeated as she said, "I-I'm done for, finish me." Sora dismisses his helmet but his armor is still active as he said, "Actually, we could use a powerful ally such as you in our group." Drowned Ophelia said, "What are you talking about, you've defeated me, why would you guys want a powerful ally such as me even if I'm your other new enemy besides vile?" Sora said, "Because, a wise person once told me, when an person defeats its enemy, that enemy will make a powerful ally, if you can't beat them, join them." As he helping drowned Ophelia up and heal her wounds, Drowned Ophelia said, "Sora, I-I don't know what to say." Sora said, "If you can control the darkness like Riku did, then you will become as powerful as ever, what do you say, want to join us?" Drowned Ophelia smiled and said, "Sure, it's a promise." As she was about reach out her hand and shake Sora's hand in agreement, they heard a sinister laugh coming from out of nowhere, that laugh came from the head honcho himself, dark dizzy asked, "Who might you be sir?" Doviculus said, "hahahahahaha, I'm Emperor Doviculus." Sora said, "So you're Emperor Doviculus, the mortal enemy of the Black tear rebellion." Doviculus said, "Well, if it isn't Sora, we meet at last." Sora said, "We saw you and Genip at Lionwhyte's place." Doviculus said, "Ah the celestial order, Yes, I did not kill Lars, Genip did." Sora said, "I knew it, he must've betrayed the celestial order." Doviculus said, "Yes, and now, prepare to be slaughtered by my army, the Tainted coil." Eddie said, "We'll see about that, alright its ShowTime people!" as they got ready for the fight against the tainted coil.
