Kingdom Hearts 2: Vanessa's adventure
Chapter 50: Fighting
Vanessa's POV:
…I was in this vivid place and on my own. "Riku!" I called out. "Grandpa!" I looked around and saw Xemnas in front of me. I had my shooting star and mystical moon in my hands and looked down at my weapons. I had to fight him.
I looked back up at Xemnas and ran towards the nobody. We engaged in battle and this was the hardest person in my entire adventure. He used the darkness for everything but I used the light. I refused to use darkness, not yet, not now.
I rolled over on the ground and hissed in pain. "What a shame." Xemnas mumbled and I got up whilst gripping onto my keyblade. I held my keyblades in the air. The ends of my keyblades started to glow and emit a very immense light. "LIGHT!" My voice echoed and I started to glow. He was blinded and covered his eyes. I took this as a great opportunity and attacked him. But it was easily blocked.
We kept on fighting but I was getting tired. But I had to keep on fighting no matter what. However hard I tried I kept on getting hurt and he was blocking all my attacks.
I closed my eyes; everyone appeared in my mind, Terra, Aqua, Ven, Sora, Kairi, King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, grandfather and Riku. When I opened my eyes again I felt stronger. My friends were my power. I finally gave one last hit and it did it! He was on the ground flat and disappeared.
"Where are you Vanessa?" I heard my grandfather call and I looked around.
"Ness, where are you?!" Riku shouted and I covered my eyes and was transported.
I fell to the ground and groaned with pain. "Vanessa!" Riku ran over to me, kneeled and helped me sat up.
"Are you okay my dear?" My grandfather and I nodded. My love helped me stand up and I asked.
"Where's Xemnas?" Donald looked around and pointed at Kingdom Hearts. I looked up and gasped. No, I just defeated him, how could he still be alive?
"Hear me, Kingdom Hearts! It seems we must begin anew. Ah, but know this; I will give to you as many hearts as it takes." I started to breathe heavily out of rage.
"KINGDOM HEARTS DOESN'T NEED THOSE HEARTS! ALL IT NEEDS IS LIGHT AND DARKNESS!" I yelled from the top of my lungs and tears fell down my cheeks. I gripped onto my shirt where my heart was, I couldn't let this happen.
"Mark my words! You can no longer be complete without me than I without you!" I thought I was gonna lose control. I was about to tell him the truth about myself something I was warned about. "Heed me, Kingdom Hearts! Lend me your power so that we could be complete; the power to erase us the fools which hinder us."
"XEMNAS! YOU CAN NEVER HAVE THAT POWER; YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THAT POWER! KINGDOM HEARTS IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT ITS COUNTERPART AND YOU ARE NOT THE COUNTERPART!" I screamed and the tears kept on dripping from my face.
"Hearts quivering with hatred…hearts burning with rage…hearts scarred by envy…Ansem you said that the nature was beyond your understanding, but it's not beyond mine!"
"SHUT UP ALREADY!" I growled.
"Hearts are the source of all power!" I didn't know what he was about to do to Kingdom Hearts, but I wasn't gonna let him do this. I was the x-blade wielder, Kingdom Hearts' counterpart! I wasn't gonna let this happen. I started to scream from the top of my lungs jumped onto the edge and raised my hands in the air. I was gonna do this with all my powers.
An extremely and immense power of both light and darkness was formed with my hands and I shot it at Kingdom Hearts. There was a wave of light that seemed to made us cover our eyes. When we opened them again, Xemnas was gone but Kingdom Hearts looked safe.
But then I noticed a large door, it was massive. "Kingdom Hearts." My grandfather said and they approached me.
"Let's go, Xemnas must be inside there." Riku mumbled.
"The worlds gave us this doorway; they want Riku, Sora and Vanessa to be the main guardians of their destiny. But Vanessa, you have more power, authority and responsibility than anyone else." I nodded at this with a tear falling down my cheek like a girl getting told off.
"Once we go through, there's no turning back. It's victory…or oblivion. So are you guys ready?" Sora smiled at this.
"Yup!" He responded.
"Vanessa, are you ready for this?"
I was quiet and stared at my hands with my tears falling endlessly, the power, the authority, and the responsibility over Kingdom Hearts as its protector.
I didn't know what to expect out of life before. A year ago, I was this girl who was stubborn, outspoken, too confident and free to do whatever she pleased, looking for her best friend, unaware of the truth and her family or past.
Now, I'm a shy, emotional, never being able to let go and strong young woman who has so many things on her mind, whose life has changed drastically, a young adult who has died five times. I had a reason for life now, no four reasons; friends, family, Riku and Kingdom Hearts.
I couldn't say 'no' to Riku's question, I had no other choice. "Yes, I'm ready." I turned around with a face, a face not like Ventus but like Terra's serious face. Riku turned to Sora and the brown haired boy walked up to my grandfather. They started to talk and were well in the conversation, with my grandpa distracted.
I felt warm hands hold my cold hand and I looked up into those enchanting eyes. "Vanessa, are you okay?" I smiled at him sadly and nodded. He pulled me into a hug and I prayed for my grandfather not to look and he didn't.
"Don't worry Ness, just one more fight and I'll be by your side forever." The warm tears fell down my frozen cheeks and I nodded. He gave me a passionate and lovely kiss on my lips and we pulled away. We turned to the door in front of us and Sora stood next to us. "Let's do this one more time, together." Riku and Sora held my hands as we walked through the path. A voice stopped us; Artemis' voice.
"Vanessa, beyond this door is the beginning of the end of your journey. Are you prepared to encounter what lies ahead?"
"Queen Artemis, I am ready and prepared to end my journey by walking through this door. I will go to any extent to make sure that my journey is complete." I answered back.
"Very well, I wish you luck." She replied.
My shooting star and mystical moon appeared in my hand, Sora's keyblade appeared in his hand and Riku's way to dawn appeared in his hand too. We joined the tips of our keyblades and it started to shine bright and shot a ray of light at the top of the door.
"Get ready Xemnas! It all ends here!" Sora muttered.
"You've done too much to all the worlds." Riku added.
"You're the nobody of the monster who made my life a living hell. The nobody of that man who took away my average childhood, took away my friends and took away my brother. You kidnapped me and erased my memories, separated me from my grandfather. You're going to pay for everything you've done to the worlds and to Kingdom Hearts!" I growled.
All of us entered and I looked forward. There was this large building like a castle further away from us and Xemnas stood on top of him. I squeezed Riku's hand and he squeezed my hand in reassurance.
"So…it seems your hearts have led you to obliteration. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be too loyal to one's hearts." Xemnas said. "I will have to be sure and remember that." He raised his hand pointed with two fingers. A building fell and was making its way towards us. I stood there frozen. Aw come on, more running away from dangerous things like the avalanche or in this case…A FREAKIN' BUILDING!
"Vanessa, come on!" Riku took my arm and we were running. When we approached the doors, we kneeled to the ground. "No!" I heard Riku shout and I looked up. Kairi, King Mickey and my grandfather were through the doors. "Grandpa!" I cried and stretched my hand for him, only for the door to be closed.
I stood up with Sora and Riku. "We can fight him on our own." Sora said and I nodded. Our weapons appeared in our hands. We started to run. Me and Sora sliced the building that got in the way.
I was behind Riku and Sora and was slowing down, I was getting tired and my I felt like my legs were done for. I tripped and fell to the ground. I couldn't get up. The tears were making my vision blurry and I raised my hand. I wanted to shout out for them but couldn't as I was panting for oxygen. I closed my eyes and my head sunk to the ground. I couldn't do this.
But I felt as if I was being picked up and my cheeks went warm. I opened my eyes only to see my knight in shining armour who carried me and ran. I looked into his eyes and smiled. "Thank you. I love you Riku." I leaned in and kissed his cheek and his cheeks went pink.
We got into this tunnel and there were nobodies everywhere. I told Riku to put me down and my shooting star appeared in my hand. "SHOOTING STARS!" I yelled and many shooting stars came falling down and destroyed three or four nobodies. "LIGHT!" Me, Sora and Riku shouted in unison and joined keyblades. There was an immense amount of light which was shot from our keyblades and finished off all the enemies.
After going through many challenges we got to this room and there was this thing in armour who sat on top of a throne. We had to fight him and he was extremely hard. Riku skidded across the ground and I screamed, "RIKU!" I ran to him and he was hurt on the chest. I held his hand and he gripped onto it. I placed my hand on his wound and he asked, "Are you going to heal me with darkness?" I shook my head.
"No, with the light." I answered and the wound illuminated. The light healed the wound and I pulled him up. "Thanks." I nodded and turned around, but was stopped when he grabbed my wrist gently and pulled me to him. "I love you." He whispered and kissed me. Just as I was starting to enjoy it I heard Sora's voice.
"Guys, a little help here! Fighting now, making out later!" This made us both blush and fluster. We joined our friends and started to fight that thing.
Once we defeated him, we appeared on the Altar of Naught again. Xemnas kneeled to the ground and touched his non-existent heart. "I need more rage…I need more… hearts." Sora sighed at this.
"Xemnas," I can't believe Sora was being so soft to this jerk! "There's more to a heart than just anger or hate. It's full of all kinds of feelings. Don't you remember?" I growled at this and roared.
"Of course he doesn't remember." I pointed an accusing finger at Xemnas with tears falling down my cheeks. "You were a heartless man in the past, you took away everything from me, if you're in their listening Xehanort, I'm going to gain my vengeance just wait and watch!" I touched my heart.
"After everything you did to my friends from my past, after everything you've done to my brother, I'll never forgive you. Xemnas, after what you did to my friends now, I'll never forgive you!" Xemnas looked at me with an amusing smile.
"Vanessa, I don't remember anything." He then faded away into the darkness and I sighed with relief.
