Hi everyone.
I hope your summer is going well. Well, look at that, fifty-one chapters already. It took me a long time to get here, but I'm happy you all are enjoying my stories so far.
I mainly started this when I was bored and for myself, but then when you all asked me to keep going it gave me a reason to go on. Thank you very much and today will be something very special for all of you.
Please enjoy.
Chapter 51: Seeker of Darkness
After taking a long rest at the Mysterious Tower, the Guardians of the Twilight were ready to continue on their quest.
Ansem wished them luck and so did Namine, plus she offered them a little gift for helping her. Four special bracelets that would allow them to summon her spirits. At first they were surprised at this because they thought Namine needed them to protect her dreams, however she shook her head before explaining.
"They need you more. You four already have the Heavenly Dragons, but a little help doesn't hurt once and a while. I'll be alright, but make sure you return them back to me when Xehanort is defeated, okay?" She asked.
"Promise." Sonic replied, with his siblings agreeing.
Afterwards Namine placed the bracelets on each of their wrists. Crimson had a flower in the middle of his, Sonic had two pairs of wings with a yellow gem in the middle, Autumn had a bell symbol in the middle of hers with a green gem in the middle, and Vanitas had a moon bracelet with a purple gem in the middle.
Autumn loved it while the boys thought they were a little girly, but accepted them anyway because they had a feeling things were gonna get tough around the corner.
?
After leaving the Mysterious Tower, the Guardians of the Twilight continued on with their journey. Up ahead they noticed their next world and immediately hit the accelerator on their hover boards to get there quicker.
When the four of them arrived they appeared to be at some waterfalls with platforms floating near them.
"What is this place?" Crimson wondered.
"Vanitas. Has Xehanort brought you to a place like this?" Autumn asked.
"No. I've never been here before. It's very strange. Unlike any world I've ever seen." Vanitas replied.
"Come on, we better get moving then. We've got seven Spheres of Harmony. Three left and we'll be able to bring Harmony Dragon back." Sonic said before taking a leap at the platforms.
The others followed him without question. As they leaped through the platforms they stopped at one when they noticed a member of the Dark Conquerors and a unknown man with her. The man had on a similar attire to Xehanort, however he looked younger and strong. He had dark orange eyes, long white purple hair, dark skin, and had his chest revealed.
"So, you all finally made here. About time. We've been waiting for you." The woman with dark green hair and eyes said.
"Who are you?" Autumn asked.
"I am Chrysalis. We've met before at The World That Never Was." Chrysalis replied, revealing her name again.
"And who are you?" Sonic asked the man next to her.
"I am Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness." The man replied with a slight creepy voice.
"What? You're not Ansem. Tell us who you really are?" Crimson said firmly.
"He did. To be more precise, he's Xehanort's Heartless. A very handsome one indeed." Chrysalis explained before adding some flirting at the end. "As of now, it's time for four dealt with someone a little more challenging." She added.
Suddenly the fake Ansem raised up his arms and above him were four dark creatures with white X's on their chests. They raised their hands at the Keyblade Wielders before taking their Keyblades away from them, which shocked them in the process.
It got even worse as Chrysalis raised out her left hand and absorbed all of their magic from inside of them. Crimson, Sonic, and Autumn fell onto their knees, feeling weak and completely drained.
"H-how did you do that?" Autumn asked with a weak tone.
"I'm from Equestria sweetie. Normally I could drain someone of their love, but Xehanort gave me this power and now I can absorb all types of magic or emotion, now matter what it is." Chrysalis explained with a grin.
As the Wielders slowly got up, one question did come into their minds. "Tell us. Why did you join the Dark Conquerors?" Sonic asked.
Chrysalis smirked before replying, "Simple. I use to be the queen of my kind, the Changelings. We desperately needed to feed off of love to survive, but I've been defeated twice for achieving that goal. First, the wedding between Cadence and Shining Armor. Then, Starlight Glimmer who thought giving love and offering it would be better. Once you four are dead I'll returned to that wretched world and kill her for dethroning me, the most beautiful creature that ever lived."
"That's not gonna happen. We won't let you hurt anyone anymore." Crimson said strongly.
"You can try, but you will ultimately fail." Fake Ansem said.
"Just watch." Autumn said firmly.
"Oh, we will. But first you will need to find us first. You all are so depended on your Keyblades, let's see how you manage without them." Chrysalis replied before her and Fake Ansem disappeared along with the creatures that took their Keyblades.
"Great, what we gonna do?" Sonic asked around.
"Isn't it obvious? We may have lost our Keyblades, but we still have our Dragons and Spirits." Vanitas pointed out.
"Yeah, we need to keep going. As long as we have them then there's nothing to worry about." Autumn added.
"Plus we know how to fight too. Remember Sonic? Celestia, Luna, and our father didn't just each us how to use a Keyblade and magic. They taught us self-defense too." Crimson concluded.
Sonic grew a small smile from hearing that before nodding. "You're right. All those times getting flipped or having our butts kicked by our aunts weren't for nothing." He added.
Crimson, Autumn, and Vanitas smirked at that before the four of them continued climbing the platforms. Once they reached the top they noticed a castle in the far distance with no bridge connecting to it.
"Let me handle this." Autumn said, stepping forward. "Spread your beautiful wings, and soar to the heavens at the speed of light. Clear Wing! Hear my cry!" She added while placing her left hand on her necklace and raising her right hand straight up into the air.
After saying her chant, three white rings appeared out of Autumn's necklace and went straight into the air before alighting themselves. Then they glowed above the teens and Clear Wing magically appeared out of them, roaring her arrival.
"Autumn. What's up?" She asked while slowly coming down to them.
After explaining what happened and that they needed her help to get to the castle, Clear Wing completely understood before allowing the teens to get on her back before going super sonic toward the castle.
?
After that really fast flight, Clear Wing stopped outside of the gates before the teens got off of her. Crimson and Sonic felt a little dizzy while Autumn just had frizzled hair and Vanitas didn't feel much since he was a spirit at the moment.
"Thanks Clear Wing." Autumn said before fixing her hair.
"It's what I did. Let me know when we see Xehanort. I'm gonna enjoy smashing into him." Clear Wing replied before glowing greens and turning into light while returning to Autumn's necklace.
Afterwards the teens began walking through the area and noticed another passage that lead somewhere unknown. Taking the chance, the teens decided to go there first before entering the castle itself.
?
Once they reached the lower level due to a strange contraption, the wielders appeared in a strange area. they noticed a lake near them and though to swim in it and see where it would take them. Upon diving further down Sonic noticed a opening and signaled the others to follow him. As they reached up to the surface they took in a breath before swimming toward a platform.
It appearing to be some kind of underground dungeon as there were lights and cells near them, however each cell they passed had a collection of bones in them, which freaked Autumn out a bit. At the end of the hall there was a cracked wall which needed a lot of force to open.
"I got this." Crimson announced. "Dichromatic eyes of courage. Burn those that stand in your way. Odd-Eyes. Hear my call!" He added, placing his left hand on his red crystal pendant and raising up his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, two cylinders appeared in front of him. One red, one green, and at the center was a portal that opened up to reveal his dragon who roared at his arrival.
"I'm here, Crimson." Odd-Eyes said, facing his friend.
"Glad to see you. Can you bust through this wall and any others we come across?" Crimson asked.
"Normally Clear Wing would like this, but I'll see what I can do." Odd-Eyes replied before charging at the wall with his head.
Crimson then hopped on top of him with the others following as it looked like they were gonna run into more walls later on. They were right as Odd-Eyes smashed through four more walls until they reached a dead end while noticing a large button at the center wall. As the teens got off a monster appeared in their way. It was the same one who took their Keyblades and this one had Crimson's.
"Give that back right now." He demanded.
The creature growled at him before dashing toward him, but Odd-Eyes stepped in and used his tail to knock it back. The creature got up and growled at them again before dashing once more, however Odd-Eyes stepped in again and defeated it using his fire blast.
Once the creature faded away the Keyblade returned to Crimson before he dismissed it. He then pressed the button on the wall after Odd-Eyes returned to his pendent. "Let's head back and see what the switch activated." He added before they exited the dungeon.
?
After returning to the castle gates, the teens made their way to the entrance. Once inside they kept their guard up in case anything abnormal appeared. As expected another one of fake Ansem's creatures appeared holding Sonic's Keyblade.
"Let me handle this." Sonic said. "Fangs of rebellion, attack those who are foolish enough to appose you. Descend! Dark Rebellion!" He added, placing his left hand on his fang pendent while raising up his right hand.
Suddenly a large galaxy-like vortex appeared from the ceiling and blue lighting erupted out of it, revealing Dark Rebellion as he roared from his arrival.
"What's going on?" Dark Rebellion asked.
"Me and siblings had our Keyblades taken from us. Crimson got his, now mine is with that thing." Sonic explained.
"Very well. I'll take my vengeance on this beast." Dark Rebellion replied before activating his wings.
The creature growled at them before using Sonic's Keyblade to freeze the dragon. Dark Rebellion took flight before diving back down and stabbing the creature with his chin fang. It growled again before fading away and dropping the Keyblade.
"Alert me when this happens again." Dark Rebellion said before returning to his friend's pendent.
Sonic instantly took his Keyblade back before dismissing it. Afterwards he and the others began moving through the castle.
?
They appeared within another place filled with contraptions that took them upwards before guiding them outside. There, another dark creature appeared holding Autumn's Keyblade. Before anyone could make a move the creature rushed in and grabbed her before taking her from a short distance of the castle. It then dropped her from it's grip as she was falling from a large height, but that wasn't going to happen as she re-summoned Clear Wing before grabbing onto her back once more.
The creature shot lightning at the dragon, but Clear Wing absorbed it through her wings and reflected it straight at the monster. It dropped Autumn's Keyblade and she immediately jumped off of the dragon to grab it before Clear Wing swooped in and saved her before they returned to the others.
"You okay?" Sonic asked his sister.
"Yeah. Only one left, I'm gonna let Vanitas come out." Autumn replied before Clear Wing returned to her as she switched with her brother.
?
After further exploring through the castle, the Keyblade Wielders entered some kind of chapel, but it looked completely dark and pale. At the center of it was Chrysalis and it looked like she was waiting for them.
"Glad you could make it. So, are you enjoying yourselves at Hollow Bastion?" She asked.
"Hollow Bastion?" Vanitas replied with a raised eyebrow.
"This place is where we created our own Heartless to send off the other worlds. Pretty interesting, huh?" Chrysalis said with a grin.
"But I thought Heartless came out of the darkness with a heart?" Sonic asked.
"You are half correct. They come from two races: Purebloods, which appear out of the raw darkness. Emblems: which are creations Xehanort contradicted in his experiments." Chrysalis explained.
"So far we haven't seen any Heartless around. Are you making it too easy for us? ...Or, are just toying with us?" Vanitas asked.
Chrysalis started laughing evilly before sighing. "It's so cute to keep you four guessing on what's gonna come next. If it's Heartless you want..." She said before snapping her fingering and making new Heartless appear around her. "...then here you go. When you're done meet me on the other side so we can talk." She finished before disappearing.
The new Heartless had shields with dog faces on them, Wyverns, and fake Ansem's last Heartless which had Vanitas' Keyblade. It immediately used Gravity to put pressure on Crimson and Sonic, preventing them from moving.
"I'll handle this my brothers." He said before taking a step forward. "Poisonous fangs. Prey and hunt on those who live in the darkness. Appear, Starving Venom!" He added, holding his left hand up where his ring is before a purple spiral portal appeared and Starving Venom revealed himself, releasing a powerful roar.
"What is it Vanitas?" Starving asked.
"I need your help defeating these guys and that thing holding my Keyblade." Vanitas explained.
Starving liked to hear that since he was looking forward to a fight all day. Vanitas hopped onto Starving left hand before getting tossed toward the Heartless and punching the creature that had his Keyblade straight in the face. The other Heartless focused on Starving Venom as the ones with shields blasted him with a combo of fire and ice. Starving jumped over the attack before releasing two of his snake platings and devouring the Heartless with them.
The three Wyverns dashed toward him to attack, but like the previous Heartless, Starving devoured them using his platings yet again.
Meanwhile the Heartless that Vanitas was fighting was much tougher then the others. Every time he swung the Keyblade at him it would also use magic to force Vanitas at the ground before sending him flying back toward his brothers. Starving Venom intervened and punched it toward a wall. He then grabbed it with his tail and began to violently eat it whole starting with it's head before going for the body.
The creature dropped Vanitas' Keyblade during this and was now completely gone once Starving was satisfied with his meal. "That was disgusting." Vanitas said with a disturbed looked.
"At least you got your Keyblade back. That's what matters the most." Starving replied before returning to Vanitas' ring.
"Can this guy almost eat anything?" Vanitas thought to himself before obtaining his Keyblade and freeing his brothers magic.
Once freed, the boys ran toward a door in front of them before seeing Chrysalis standing at the dead center holding a black crystal bow in her hands.
"Chrysalis! This ends now!" Vanitas announced before he and his brothers summoned out their Keyblades and got into stances.
"Please, your little boasting isn't that attractive. However, I'll be happy to put you all out of your miseries." Chrysalis replied before charging up a energy arrow before shooting it into the air.
(The 13th dilemma)
Suddenly the whole area became a barrier made of crystals. Chrysalis then stepped back and entered the barrier like it was portal. Crimson, Sonic, and Vanitas kept their guards up for anything, but that was easier said then done as a swarm of arrows came piercing through the area. It teared right through the boys' clothes and leaving scratches on their bodies. They placed on their armor to protect themselves and waited for another swarm to come, however Chrysalis appeared and quickly kicked Vanitas back before using a sweep kick on Sonic and a somersault kick on Crimson before returning into the barrier.
"Stop hiding like a coward and fight fairly." Vanitas demanded. "I'm the coward? Please, says the boys who left us for his dear brothers and sister." Chrysalis taunted. She then reappeared and there were now three of her. Each one shot out a barrage of arrows at the boys and showed no mercy or expression while doing so. The boys defended themselves as much as they could, but it wasn't enough as they all got pushed back and continued to get pierced by the arrows.
(Song End)
After a while Chrysalis stopped, which made the boys fall to the ground. They weakly got up and could barely stand as the three Chrysalis' walked toward them. "My, my, my. You three are stronger then I expected. Tell me: What is it that keeps you going no matter what?" She asked. "Each other. Our friends. Our family. Every person we met kept us going." Crimson stated before his armor disappeared. "The fight's now over until the last person stands Chrysalis. And we're not done yet." Vanitas added. "You and Xehanort won't get away with this. We will stop you." Sonic concluded. as his and Vanitas' armor disappeared as well.
"Touching." The left Chrysalis replied before her and the others grabbed the boys by their throats and held them up high. "We can feel all this love inside of you and for those you cherish. How about we take it all away just like we did with your magic." The real Chrysalis in the middle said before she and her other selves planted kisses on the boys. They were on the lips which shocked them, but at the same time the boys couldn't do anything as their love and their remaining power were fading away.
"This ends now!" Multiple voices yelled before shining lights erupted from the boys and pushed the Chrysalis' away from them. They all questioned what happened before noticing Bloom Diva, Nighting Gale, and Cat Dancer holding the boys in their arms along with Winter Bell. "WHAT!? How can you four be here?" The right Chrysalis said with a surprised voice. "We offered to help these children defeat Xehanort. Now, you're gonna have to deal with us." Nighting Gale replied firmly while holding Sonic.
(Gohan's Anger Theme)
Her, Bloom, and Cat Dancer gently placed the boys down before they and Winter firmly placed their attention on Chrysalis. "Fine then. I'll kill all of you." Chrysalis said firmly before her and her clones began to shoot continuous energy arrows at the Spirits. Bloom Diva stood against this before humming a certain musical tone. When she did all of the arrows stopped in front of her, which shocked Chrysalis.
"Wrecking Refrain!" She announced before reflecting the arrows back. Chrysalis and her other selves were bombarded with her own attack. The other Chrysalis faded away while the main one stood strong with a few scratches on her face and body. "Whirlwind Gust!" Nighting Gale announced before spinning around a few times and releasing slash attacks on Chrysalis, which were all very effective. "Avalanche Storm!" Winter Bell announced before shaking her chime and blasting Chrysalis with a large amount of snow and wind.
"Full Moon Mayhem!" Cat Dancer announced before summoning out a large portion of energy and blasting it directly at Chrysalis. Each attack sent Chrysalis flying back until she crashed against the wall and fell on her stomach.
(Song End)
Chrysalis slowly got up and looked at the beings in front her. Bloom Diva, Nighting Gale, Winter Bell, and Cat Dancer glared at her angerly while prepared to fight her again, however Chrysalis instead disappeared before growling at the Spirits.
The Spirits then went toward the boys and offered them some healing light. Crimson, Sonic, and Vanitas started to glow before it vanished as they started to get up. Vanitas then switched with Autumn to get some rest and all of the Spirits were glad to help.
"Spirits...? Is it really you or are we dreaming?" Sonic asked.
"It's us, Sonic. We're here in reality with you." Nighting Gale replied with a kind smile.
(La Pace)
"Are you sure?" Crimson asked.
Bloom giggle a bit before nodding, which he believed.
"How did you girls appear when we didn't call you?" Autumn asked.
"You four were in trouble, so we came to help. The Heavenly Dragons already did their part, so it was our turn to help you like you all did for us." Winter Bell explained.
Hearing that made the teens smile. "You four aren't alone on this journey anymore. Us and the Dragons are fighting along side you. When you are ever in trouble, we'll be there." Cat Dancer said proudly.
"Thank you. All of you." Crimson said warmly.
"You're welcome. Now let's go after Chrysalis." Bloom replied warmly before her and the others returned to the bracelets.
(Song End)
Hollow Bastion: Grand Hall
After leaving the area, the teens ran to go after Chrysalis and found a strange place. They ran up a set of stair cases and noticed Chrysalis on the floor next a strange device on her left that bared the Heartless Emblem through electricity.
"Chrysalis." Autumn called.
Chrysalis gasped before looking back at the teens before turning to them while getting up. "If you're here to finish me off, then go ahead." She added.
"Chrysalis. There's more to a heart than anger or hate. It's full of all kinds of feelings, including love. Love is important in every world. Without it, nothing else matters. And what would you become if you didn't have it. You want love, but you're also afraid of it because of how it can reject you. Deep down you know what you're doing is wrong and we want to help you become a better person." Sonic said deeply while placing his hand over his heart.
"After what I did... You're willing to help a ugly creature like me?" Chrysalis asked.
"You're not ugly. You're beautiful in your own way. Abandon Xehanort. You don't need this kind of power anymore if you would only just try to be kind to those around you. Treat beings how you want to be treated." Autumn replied sweetly.
"What's in it for me? Are you just saying that because of my current state?" Chrysalis questioned before they all shook their heads while slowly walking up to her.
"No, we're telling you the truth. And people and ponies alike will like you for you and not anything else. We don't want to fight you anymore. Let us help you." Crimson said, offering a hand to her while giving her a smile.
Chrysalis thought a lot about everything she did and more. There was nothing left for her and going back to Xehanort wouldn't do any good for her, so she took in a deep breath and kindly slapped away Crimson's hand while getting up.
"No. I apologize, but the answer is no. It's far too late to help me." She replied with a depressed tone, making the others feel the same way. "However, I will give you these." She added before revealing a Sphere of Harmony and the stolen magic. The Sphere of light blue, symbolizing Rarity's element.
Autumn took the Sphere and absorbed it while Sonic opened the bag of stolen magic as it returned back to where it belonged. Afterwards both the teens and Chrysalis stared at each other before sharing small smiles, even though they didn't share the same grounds.
Then in a split second Chrysalis gawked while the teens widened their eyes in shock. A hand came right through her chest holding a glowing black green heart before it got crushed. Chrysalis was completely stunned and traumatized as the teens were too before turning her head to notice Ansem: The Seeker of Darkness behind her, showing a evil grin.
"Sorry Chrysalis. You were too much of a liability now." He said in a creepy tone.
Chrysalis couldn't talk and began to fade away. Crimson, Sonic, and Autumn fell to their knees before staring at what they got saw. "How could you do that to her?" Crimson asked with a slight breaking tone.
"So, you have come this far and still understand nothing. She was just a inadequate disappointment. Especially since she harbored a heart, which Nobodies can grow in time." Ansem replied while crossing his arms.
"Indeed." A voice said. It was Xemnas as he was walking out of a Corridor of Darkness. "A heart is never lost for good. There may have variances in our dispositions, but a number of us unquestionably showed signs of a burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempt to control the mind, and convince it to renounce it's sense of self. But understand, one can banish a heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so we knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation." He said, explaining that Nobodies eventually grow hearts of their own.
This completely surprised the teens, including Autumn and Vanitas. "Why then? Why did you lie to me and the others? Telling us right from the beginning that we didn't have hearts?!" Vanitas demanded.
"It's quite obvious. Because of the four of you. We and our original incarnation created this organization for a specific purpose. Summon Harmony Dragon, summon Kingdom Hearts, then after every world is as we see it, make everyone have the exact same heart and mind. In a simple manner- we are going to turn everyone into Xehanort." Ansem replied, explaining their true plans.
"That's... That's insane!" Crimson yelled firmly.
"That's it. All of you. Let all of that anger out. Give you heart to supreme darkness; and serve under our words!" Ansem said with a grin.
Crimson, Sonic, Autumn, and Vanitas were completely furious from hearing this before the four of them screamed into the air and as they did they went into Berserk Mode as each of their eyes glowed. Ansem and Xemnas smirked from this as this was what they wanted to see while the violent winds pressed through the air.
"No! Guys, don't give in to the darkness!" Odd-Eyes said. "We all want revenge on Xehanort, but this isn't the way." Dark Rebellion added. "Think about what you're fighting for and the road you're on." Clear Wing added. "Your friends, family, and loved ones are counting one you. We're here with you, don't give in to temptation." Starving Venom concluded.
Hearing their voices made each of the teens remember the people they care about and have flashbacks of them. Then the winds faded out and the teens took in some deep breathes before exiting out of Berserk Mode and glaring at the Heartless and Nobody.
"Your resistance to the darkness is strong, but it won't save you. You can try as long as you like, but you're fates end here!" Ansem announced before he and Xemnas went into the portal of the Heartless contraption. The Guardians went after them immediately without a plan.
Hollow Bastion: Endless Abyss
Crimson, Sonic, Autumn, and Vanitas were floating in a black void. Nothing was around them, not even a small glimmer of light.
"Behold, the Endless Abyss. Within lies the heart of this world. Heart-EartH!" Ansem announced.
Suddenly the teens were greeted by a massive, incredibly long dragon that had white scales, large wings, a hole in it's chest containing Ansem: The Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas: The Nobody of Xehanort, and a endless bottom half while containing no arms.
The dragon roared when it saw it's prey and circled around them. "Darkness conquerors all worlds!" Ansem said loudly. "The light will expire! Darkness will prevail!" Xemnas added.
The teens were completely speechless when facing the dragon, but now was the perfect time to call for some help. "Dichromatic eyes of courage. Burn those that stand in your way. Odd-Eyes. Hear my call!" Crimson said, raising his right hand and gripping his pendent with his left. "Fangs of rebellion, attack those foolish enough to oppose you. Descend! Dark Rebellion!" Sonic said, raising his right arm and gripping onto his fang key with his left. "Spread your beautiful wings, and soar to the heavens at the speed of light. Clear wing! Hear my cry!" Autumn said, raising her right hand and placing her left on her necklace. "Poisonous Fangs. Prey and hunt on those who live in the darkness. Appear! Starving Venom!" Vanitas said as he switched with Autumn while raising his left hand in the air.
With that, the four Heavenly Dragons appeared while releasing their roars. They noticed Heart-EartH and roared at him before receiving one back. Crimson hopped onto Odd-Eyes, Sonic did the same with Dark Rebellion, and Autumn went to Clear Wing with Starving Venom next to her.
As they faced the dragon, Heart-EartH opened it's mouth and released a massive dark blast at them. Everyone dodged it before charging toward it to attack. "Odd-Eyes. Spiral Flare Burst!" Crimson ordered. Odd-Eyes listened and launched his head back before firing a massive blast of flames. It effected Heart-EartH, but he wasn't damaged too much. "Dark Rebellion. Revolt of Lightning, Disobey!" Sonic ordered. Dark Rebellion opened his wings and dashed downwards before coming back up and creating a massive cut on Heart-EartH with his fang.
Heart-EartH screeched in pain, but his scar quickly healed due to Ansem and Xemnas. Afterwards it was Clear Wing's turn. "Go Clear Wing. Helldive Whirlwind Strike!" Autumn requested. "Read my mind, Autumn." Clear Wing replied before creating a vortex around her body and dashing straight toward Heart-EartH's chest. When she smashed it a barrier was shown to protect Ansem and Xemnas, which meant everyone had to aim directly at the chest.
"Starving Venom! Calamity Distortion!" Vanitas said through his spirit form. "My thought's exactly!" Starving Venom replied before opening his wings and launching a energy blast at Heart-EartH's chest. The attack broke the barrier and released Ansem and Xemnas from it, but the battle was far from done. Both men smirked and summoned out their signature weapons while making Heart-EartH grow even bigger than before.
Ansem wielded a doubled edged staff while Xemnas had two laser blades coming out of his palms. In a flash both men dealt powerful blows against the dragons, causing them to scream in pain before Heart-EartH dealt a powerful dark blast at them, one where no one avoided. Everyone yelled in agony before the dragon stopped attack, leaving them to float in the abyss with scratches on their bodies.
"My kin... Is this really the best you can do?" A unknown voice called out to the wielders of the Keyblade.
"W-who are you...?" Sonic asked weakly.
"My name is Hakai. Do not be afraid. I am here to help you." The voice said, revealing his name.
"How? They're too strong. Even with our combined strengths it still wouldn't be enough." Crimson said weakly.
"Are you sure? The dragons and the spirits wouldn't like it if you'd quick now. You all are stronger then that. I am apart of you. I am you when you become whole. Become whole once more and I shall shine the light from the depths of darkness. Please, trust me." Hakai replied calmly.
Crimson, Sonic, Autumn, and Vanitas didn't know what to make of this, but it's the only option they have left. So, after gathering all of the strength they had left, the siblings pushed toward each other and shared a group hug while saying, "We shall be as one!" Doing so ignited a massive light that blinded the dragons, Ansem, and Xemnas. Once it faded Hakai appeared, wearing golden armor and wielding his Keyblade up.
"You." Xemnas said with a shocked tone.
"Yes. It is I, Hakai. The lost brother of Alpha and Omega, the third Kingdom Knight. My soul and body was shattered after the Keyblade War and I laid dormant within these kids. But now I've returned, and I require the help of the Heavenly Dragons and the Spirits of Hope." Hakai replied before raising his left arm and summoned the spirits next to the dragons. "Hear my wish, friends. Xehanort is near, but today let us join together as a team, fight as one!" He added, speaking to the beings behind him before raising his Keyblade into the air.
"We accept." The dragons and spirits said. Happy to hear that, Hakai opened two portals above them. The dragons went into one and the spirits went into the other. The portals glowed brighter and revealed two new beings next to Hakai.
"Dragon forged from destiny. Reveal yourself and claim peace to the promised future. Appear, Zarc!" Hakai chanted and revealed a massive white dragon who was a combination of the Heavenly Dragons.
"Angel born from Heaven. Guide us down a balanced path and allow the twilight and harmony to protect the innocent. Arise, Ray the Angel of Salvation!" Hakai chanted again and revealed a beautiful woman wearing a short sliver armor plating, white skirt with silver armor knee guards, flowing white hair, light blue eyes, light skinned, light brown knee sandals, and large angel wings.
"Impossible!" Ansem yelled.
"No, it is possible. Now you will face your judgement!" Zarc said firmly. "The light of hope will never die. Harmony and the twilight will live forever!" Ray added. "Together! Creation Surge!" All three announced before combining their attacks together and launching a beam of pure light directly at Ansem, Xemnas, and Heart-EartH. "Light..." Xemnas said as he was fading from existence. "But why?" Ansem added while suffering the same fate.
Heart-EartH reverted back to how he was before as his scales turned dark black with yellow eyes, small arms, and his heart in the middle of the chest. After the blast both Hakai, Zarc, and Ray reverted back to who they were before leaving the Endless Abyss with Heart-EartH thanking him for the help.
Hollow Bastion: Entrance Hall
The Guardians of the Twilight started leaving Hollow Bastion and had their friends returned to their accessories.
"Congratulations, children." A familiar voice said behind them.
"Xehanort!" They said firmly to him before summoning their Keyblades and getting into stances.
"You all are almost there. I have the remaining Spheres of Harmony. If you want them returned, let us meet at the fated place where your destinies are sealed. Castle Oblivion. There, we will settle this feud between us, and the last light within your hearts will die." Xehanort replied before disappearing.
"Castle Oblivion... We'll be there, Xehanort." Crimson said firmly with everyone else agreeing as well.
End of Chapter 51.
I really hope you all enjoyed this because the next chapters will get even more crazy.
Zarc and Ray are from Arc-V. I do not own them. I do not own the suggested music as well, they belong to their respected owners. Also Heart EartH is from Zexal, I do not own him either. I am also a big sucker for dragons, so there's that you should know about me.
Happy 51th chapter everyone! :)
Next chapter will come up soon.
Please leave me a review and PM me for any questions.
