Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinity and Jazz for reviewing the previous chapter! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the compliment Jazz! I'm so flattered! XD
This is the beginning of the end! Only a few more chapters to go and this story is finished! Hope to see you 'til the final! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own any aspect of Pokémon or Kingdom Hearts. They belong to their respective owners. I only own this and every other story I have.
Axel sighed deeply, a melancholic aura filling the atmosphere. "Roxas...he left the Organization."
Tsutaaja was shocked beyond belief. "TA?! JA?! TSU?! (HE WHAT?! WHY?! WHEN?!)"
The pyro sulked. "Roxas and I...we had a sort of falling out this morning and he just up and left, claiming to want to seek the truth himself."
The Pokémon leered at him disdainfully. "Ja?! (Why didn't you just tell him?!)"
The accused huffed. "I didn't want to hurt him any further than he already was...because the answers to the questions he asked would have destroyed him. Believe me; they're that traumatizing."
"Ta... (Wow...)" The serpent suddenly glared at her companion once more. "JAA?! (WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM?!)"
The guilty returned the look. "Do you know how malicious he can be if you get in the way of something he truly desires?! If I had done something, he would have created a ruckus and everyone else would have attacked and killed him for attempting to betray them!"
The ivy imitator crossed her arms warily. "Tsu?! (Do you think it's safe to start looking for him now?!)"
The Nobody scoffed. "Why else did I come here?!" He then became serious. "I need your help to find Roxas and bring him back."
She pumped her fist in the air. "Ja! (You can count on me!)"
The agent held out a hand, summoning a Dark Corridor. "I suspect that he's still somewhere in The World That Never Was, our home. Now go!" The assassin commanded as he vanished in a flash of ebon.
"Ja... (Right...)" The creature sped into the portal, rushing to her destination.
The snake was sent to a mass of roads winding through the midst of an enigmatic metropolis lit only by the neon signs trailing past each building. The arrival shivered. "Ja... (It's so cold...)" At hearing the echoing of approaching footsteps, the Pokémon quickly hid behind an alcove and peeked out to see who it was. Her eyes widened in shock was they laid upon none other than her assigned target. "Ta. (Time to finish this.)" The reptile outstretched her arms, gathering energy into those designated points to vastly elongate them before sprinting out of her hiding place and pouncing Roxas who had barely manage to defend himself from the certain defeat. "Tsu... (So I heard that you left...)" She began in a deceitfully casual manner.
"..." He pried the Guillotine off, the duelists bounding away from each other.
"...Taa! (...Well I'm going to bring you back!)" The squamata glowered, weakening his defense before snarling to drop his attack. The female then Glared before zipping at him using an Aerial Ace. Thinking quickly, the paralyzed utilized a Panacea to cure himself of his condition as he raised his blades to deliver a well-placed strike which stopped her short. Snapping, the serpent became her true final form before releasing fragrant pheromones to lower his evasiveness and charging at him with a Wing Attack enhanced by steel. The samurai reacted immediately, countering her limbs through swings of his swords while firing a barrage of Blizzagas, giving her extreme pain. The assaulted growled. "Jar! (You'll pay for that!)" The offended lifted the guilty up using a blue aura powered up by a secondary bout of waves along with a green sheen before closing her eyes in concentration and glowing a deep violet accompanied by red. The enlightened then launched a Psyshock instantaneously proceeded by a rapid slice of her claws which teared the space around her, dealing severe damage to her opponent. The dragon immediately rushed to her victim's side, whispering into his ear. "Da. (You better not betray us.)"
Despite being affected by the Confide, the listener soundlessly casted Graviga on himself, breaking all of the telekinetic curses implemented on him before charging at her, edges out. The Regal decided to retreat into the sky before veering back down, a Brave Bird shrouded in a pristine aura diving towards the Nobody. The two shortly clashed, attempting to overtake the other only to bound back as a shockwave separated them.
"OOU! (I'M NOT GIVING UP!)" The former snake rammed her opponent with a Zen Headbutt before following through using a blade consisted of psychic power. The blond dodged the assault at the last minute and was about to stab her in the back only to slice through liquid as she dissipated into water. The fluid flowed past the keybearer and gathered to a single point to reform the Pokémon before she came crashing down on him in a comet filled with fire. As the advanced got off, she smirked. "Jarou... (I've gotten stronger since the last time we fought you know...)" The evolved hardened her wings into metal before rubbing them together, producing a horrid frequency that brought the boy to his knees as he covered his ears. "Ja. (I've changed.)" The dual typed formed a flurry of drizzle in her jaws and supplemented it through a vivacious beam followed by an intense torrent of telekinetic energy along with a blast of preemptive strength before launching all simultaneously, stunning her foe. The creature next surrounded her head in a pink haze and called upon golden shields covered in a magenta light to surround herself to sharply increase her defense to give herself an incredible offense as she switched her stats. The altered then closed her eyes, sharply concentrating on her adversary's movements before charging a sphere of compressed perceptive sonic and firing it, causing the offense to hit inevitably. The quarry attempted to heal himself only to have the Curaga stolen, recovering the thief instead. The drake crossed her arms. "Da. (Just give up already.)"
As if defying her, the rouge leapt into the air, barrel rolling as beams of radiance were shot at her. The target wrapped herself in ribbons of water before countering the brilliance with a maelstrom of wind powered up by a Hurricane which was made unavoidable through the rain that had begun to fall. The creature took the blinding luminescence to her advantage, dashing toward the defector while increasing her speed a myriad of times. The Nobody casted a Reflega in anticipation only for the surface to be shattered through a Feint before being Disabled altogether. The royal immediately closed in, spinning rapidly as her muzzle glowed white. The defender blocked the Drill Peck but was unable to escape the violet force field that erupted out of the dragon. Soaring high above him, the flier then used the chance to bring about a gale which sucked away some of his life. In retaliation, the samurai called upon bolts of Thundaga to shock her only for the electricity to be redirected from a sheen of magic, affecting him instead. However, the electrocuted regained his composure quickly before bounding after her, épées covered in fire. Concentrating, the semi-grass associate was able to effortlessly dodge one strike before creating a prismatic barrier to deflect the other while also halving his offensive abilities.
Landing on the ground, the ex-snake Coiled in on herself while also replicating her image and throwing prehistoric stones that shined, rising her potential to the max before unleashing her enhanced strengths in a chaotic wave which brought her opponent to the edge of unconsciousness. The cause approached the downed. "Ja? (Are you done yet?)" The rouge attempted to freeze her in chronology only to fail as she Protected herself. Utilizing the opportunity, the unaffected held her tail to a flap and began drawing on it, gaining a verdant aura as she did so.
Picking himself up immediately, the Nobody rose into the air while forming a laser ray, the shields surrounding him preventing his foe from getting any closer. Backing off, Mega Jarouda devised a plan to break through starting off with a glare which casted a maroon aura upon the intended and finished with her barking a supreme bellow that split the air and rebounded past the walls, forcing the light elemental to drop into a kneel as he attempted to shut out the noise. The dragon then approached the male and began screaming into his ear over and over again. "Jar! Jar! Jar! (You better not betray us! You better not betray us! You better not betray us!)" At the lack of response, the Pokémon began to vocalize, the ebon notes materializing and striking him, disappearing into his form. The source remained stoic. "Jarou! (You have three turns to return to us or else the Perish Song will knock you out and you'll be brought to where you belong by force!)"
"I'm never going back to the Organization!" Roxas exclaimed, stunning the other as she didn't hear him speak for a while before immediately snarling.
"Jar... (How could you...)"
"..."
"Ja? Jarou?! (Why did you leave him, leave us? We shared a special connection; the three of us had went through a multitude of ordeals together and even shared a Paopu Fruit to intertwine our destines yet you're willing to just sever that inseparable bond?!)"
"You don't understand!"
"Da? Jaa! (How? The situation makes perfect sense!)"
"Why do I have to follow orders without question if they won't even tell me who I was? I tried to not let it bother me, but I've had it! Can't you empathize? Don't you know how it feels to be lost?"
The Pokémon drooped. "Ou. Jarou. (Yeah, I know. Mizuotokonoko abused me to the point that I didn't know my place in the world.)"
"That's why I'm trying to carve my own path! I'll defeat the Organization, save Axel, and free Kingdom Hearts! After that everything will become clear! Join me Tsutaaja!"
"JAA! (YEAH!)"
After treating the wounds they had inflicted upon each other during their heated skirmish, the duo began walking forward on the trail. "We're going to eliminate everyone except for Axel. There's no turning back once this starts; are you sure about this?"
The Pokémon nodded as she reverted. "Ta! (Yeah!)" She suddenly became pensive. "Jaa? (What were you two arguing about this morning?)"
"Hmm?" The traitor quirked a brow.
"Tsu. (He told me you left after having a falling out of sorts.)"
The adolescent shrugged. "I confronted him this morning to ask him about my past and the secrets the Organization has been keeping from me. That's why I was so strange yesterday; I had a lot in my mind and it was disturbing me greatly."
The serpent halted in her tracks. "Jaa! (He never told me that!)"
The samurai nodded. "Of course; he's loyal to them after all."
"Ja... (Wow...)"
The youth suddenly smiled sadly, drawing her full attention to him. "Do you regret it?"
"Ta? (What?)"
"Going on missions with Axel and me?" The cherub elaborated. "Did we waste your time and energy for something that pretty much ended up being in vain?"
She shook her head passionately. "Tsutaa! Taaja? Jaa-Taa! (Of couse not! It was a splendid dream; why wouldn't you want to fulfill it? Besides, I had fun with you guys and we made memories that I'll cherish forever!)"
The minor beamed. "Thanks. By the way, sorry for how I acted."
The endotherm shrugged. "Tsu! (No problem!)"
A mass of Neoshadows spontaneously spawned from the ground, the serpent assuming her battle stance as the wielder extracted his signature weapons. The fighter dashed on ahead, decapitating the Heartless he went through as the Pokémon sliced them up with her Sacred Sword. Feeling a presence, the kid gazed at the roof of a towering edifice surrounded in colorful light, spotting a man who had grey locks over a sable sash which covered his eyes all above an ebon jacket that covered the length of his body. The ivy imitator ceased, following his stare to the indicated guy. "Ja? (Who's that?)"
"The Organization Imposter." The defector snarled. "He pretends to be one of them by wearing the Black Coat!" The Nobody sped to the skyscraper and ran up the wall, tossing Oblivion at the fake who had managed to catch it mid-spin. The two briefly passed each other before halting, switching their prior positions before the flaxen dropped down, landing on his feet. The individuals continued slaying the Purebloods, eliminating their numbers systematically until none were left to kill.
"Who are you?" Roxas demanded as they turned on each other.
"What does it matter?" The enigma replied. "I'm here for you."
"Why are you trying to stop me?"
"Because I want back the rest of Sora's memories."
"Sora, Sora, Sora! Enough about Sora!"
"Who is Sora?!"
The ex-agent's eyes widened in shock. "Y-You can talk?!" He gazed perplexingly at Tsutaaja.
The one in question snorted. "I'm not actually speaking; I'm using the Telepathy I had acquired a while back from my Role Play to socialize via brain waves in the human language. I had no need for it before since you could understand me perfectly, but since someone different is here," she glanced at the silverette, "I need to use this ability in order to communicate."
"Do you have some kind of plan?" The unknown continued, disregarding the Pokémon's existence.
"I'm going to set Kingdom Hearts free!" The younger responded earnestly. "Then everything can go back to the way it was! I have to find this Sora person, and freeing Kingdom Hearts is the only way! I want my life back!"
"If you try and make contact with Kingdom Hearts, the last thing you'll get is your life back." The cryptic scoffed. "The Organization will destroy you."
"Shut up!" The samurai charged, clashing blades with his enemy. Meanwhile, the Pokémon changed once more and flooded the area in a Misty Terrain before Camouflaging into it. The altered then closed in, slashing her weapon against the stolen key before proceeding to unleash a barrage of Moonblasts. The thief managed to deflect them only to be ambushed by Play Rough, suprising the victim. Using the chance, the dragon launched a Mach Punch which was enchanced by a move that got more powerful with each use followed by a full-bodied roll and a Hammer Arm, dealing heavy damage. Taking things many steps further, the myth bombarded the figure in a multitude of Aura Spheres accompanied by their stronger counterparts. In an attempt to retaliate, the enemy shot out an azure blaze only for it to be extinguished through a sock which released a whirlwind. The blinded charged, heading straight for the blond right when he was hurled by a Circle Throw before driven with Sky Uppercut proceeded by a fist of mass concentration. The foe was toyed around in a succession of kneeing and Jump Kicks which led to a flurry of Close Combat and a devestating Seismic Toss.
"Like I'll lose here!" The adversary declared adamantly. "Not while Sora still needs me!" A shroud of light surrounded the stolen rapier, the enigma speeding toward the two. The samurai enveloped Oathkeeper in a coat of brilliance, firing orbs of luminescence at his enemy before closing in with a series of enhanced slashes. The myth aided her companion with a duke of extreme proportions only to strike a prismatic barrier which shattered as the user stabbed the attacker. Glowering, the offended Countered the pain she had sustained while obtaining Revenge, retaliating greatly. The drake then shot a beam of pristine radiance into the sky before chopping at him with a glowing palm followed by an X-Scissor. The advanced then vibrated her wings, producing a horrid noise akin to an angry swarm before following with a Signal Beam and crying out in a sharp tone.
Mega Jarouda growled. "I will not let you hurt my friend...I will never let you harm the ones I hold dear!" The declarer emitted an azure aura before ramming hard into the imposter, knocking him into a wall.
The opponent smirked. "Nothing any of you can say will get me to change my mind!" He launched a Dark Firaga which was headed for Roxas only to be intercepted by the Pokémon who had gained a crimson ambience.
The protector only sunk more into her anger as she took the bullets, going into a rampage. "You'll never lay a finger on him as long as I'm living!" The feral unleashed an Outrage, beating the life out of him before becoming blood-red. "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" The infuriated forced him to deal with her full Frustration, finishing him off as the Future Sight came crashing down.
The defeated cried out as the samurai confronted him. "Why?! Why do you have Keyblade?"
"Shut up!" The Nobody aimed a serious blow but was suddenly intercepted, knocked onto the ground. The fake made to impale the area near the unconscious's skull only to have Oblivion pried in a Low Sweep. The light-elemental abruptly shot a hand up, reclaiming his weapon and charging at his victimizer who cannoned a blue flame which was instantly shredded as the revived slashed at him, the unarmed barely dodging. "Quit fooling around!"
After a moment's pause, the pretender responded. "What's wrong, Sora? Are you done already? Pretty pathetic."
"He's Roxas, you idiot!" The evolved screamed.
"What are you taking about?" The mistaken queried. "You're the one who's losing!" He gasped, holding his fingers to his lips as if to take back the statement.
"You really are his Nobody." The man mused. "I guess I'll have to trust DiZ."
"Why do you keep talking about him? I'm myself! I'm me!" The samurai extracted Oathkeeper before rushing towards the offender, pushing him into a corner and forcing him to use Dark Shield to evade a deadly strike, collapsing shortly after being propelled back quite a distance. The boy glared at his enemy. "You can't beat me no matter how much you try!"
"I guess so..." The defeated admitted. "Looks like I have to do it."
"Do what?"
"Oh no you don't!" The creature binded him via String Shot. "Why are you after him? What did he do to deserve this?!"
"Exist." The imprisoned hissed. "Nobodies were never meant to be after all."
The dragon snarled. "So what? Many out there were never planned either, but do you see them being punished for that?!"
The silverette scoffed. "At least they have hearts. Nobodies lack them and therefore cannot feel emotion; they don't care what happens to our worlds."
"That's not true!" She protested. "Roxas and Axel...they made sure the natives of the places we went to were kept safe from Heartless. Besides, I've seen them filled with joy and a myriad of varying expressions when I hung out with them! You're lying when you say they aren't capable of feeling!"
The adversary crossed his arms. "I still need him for Sora."
"Find a different way!" The female exclaimed. "It's simply not fair if you involve someone who wasn't intentionally involved with your dilemma! Your friend would be ashamed of you!"
"You're right." The blinded admitted. "It's not fair if I did that to someone who is innocent in all of this. But I'm certain that the Organization will eliminate him..."
The creature smirked. "That's why I'm here: to make sure that he doesn't do anything reckless while protecting him!"
The imposter smiled. "Good luck with your goals and sorry for involving you all; it wasn't just. However, if another way can't be found...I'll return." The male walked away after the ropes were cut, disappearing into the depths of the city.
Roxas beamed. "Thanks for saving me back there; I have a feeling something horrible would have happened if you hadn't interfered."
The Pokémon flushed as she reverted. "Ja. (No problem.)"
"Oh?" He quirked a brow. "You're no longer using your Telepathy?"
The one in question held her hands to her hips. "Taaja. (I told you I only used it on people who can't understand me as I am now.)"
"Right." The samurai then gazed up, staring at a large bastion tinted a tainted white which floated above the town below. "That's The Castle That Never Was. The rest of the Organization is up there. You ready?"
Tsutaaja grinned. "Jaa! (This is the beginning of the end!)"
