Kingdom Hearts: The Six Spirit Guardian
Chapter 30: Darius' Destiny
Walking through a forest were Darius and the Daughter. After passing the test, Darius was proved to be the Chosen One's guardian. The Son did not like it and he was force to flee. The two look at their surroundings while walking through. There is no life nor animals on the planet.
"What was your purpose for this, Darius?" The Daughter asked Darius.
"My mission is to find my siblings along with the Guardians of Light." Darius replied, "I was told by the Council that the Dark Master is planning to create the X-Blade by uniting the 11 Guardians of Light and the 13 Seekers of Darkness"
"I see." The Daughter spoke.
"So why me?" Darius asks her.
"The Father is what brings the Universe in balance. If one side falls, the Universe falls to that path." The Daughter replied. "This may be a home but it is also a prison for all of us."
"I... I'm sorry to hear that, Daughter." Darius said while looking at her before looking forward. "I wish I could do something to help."
Then they reach a lake as the sun begins to set. As the sun goes down, a blue light glows the lake and some of the cavern walls in front which amaze Darius.
"It is beautiful," Darius said in awe.
"It is." The Daughter said approaching the lake.
Darius deactivates his Tetrafiber armor, changing to his combat uniform he wore when his home was attacked by the darkness. He begins taking his uniform. He also takes off his shoes. After many days of fighting and miles of walking in shoes, Darius removes them to relieve the pain. He then takes off his combat jacket leaving only his green shirt and cargo pants. He sits down on the grass before placing his feet in the cool. He takes a breather as he calms down.
That's when Darius begins seeing the Daughter approaching the lake before she begins to do the unthinkable: Taking off her dress. Darius looks at the lake while the Daughter strips off her dress.
"Do you know how to swim?" The Daughter asked Darius.
Darius then looks at the Daughter before trying not to drop his jaw. In front of him was the Daughter wearing a bathing suit. Her breasts were D size. Darius blushes, looking away from her.
"Yeah, my older sister Chloe taught me." Darius said, trying not to blush hard.
The Daughter slowly approaches the lake before taking her step into the body of water. Darius watches in astonishment, as the woman walks into the lake. As she walks through, she slowly descends deeper into the lake until the water reaches up to her chest. From Darius' point of view, The Daughter is like a goddess of the lake in Mortis.
"Come." The Daughter said to Darius, offering him an invite to the lake.
Darius takes a breather before standing up and walk to the lake. He takes off his shirt, leaving only his shorts before taking a step into the lake. It felt slightly warm and Darius liked it. Continuing on, Darius keeps moving deeper into the lake before it reaches up to his lower chest. He then sees the Daughter who moves closer to him. She stops within a few inches from Darius, staring into his cyan eyes.
"I can sense sadness within you, Darius. Your family was lost and separated by the darkness. Your older sister has lost throughout time into the past, but she is alive." The Daughter said before she reaches her right arm and touches Darius' cheek, making him gasps and jolt before a vision appears in his mind. It shows now other than Chloe who is on the ground. That's when Darius sees someone approaching her before kneeling. Darius leans closer to see who is the person is.
He can only see a tall man with dark brown hair and on his left arm are pieces of ancient armor. That's when the vision ends before Darius groans, placing his hand on his head.
"Chloe... She's alive." Darius said in relief.
"Your younger brother is alive as well." The Daughter spoke before doing it again to Darius.
A vision then shows his younger brother, Stanley, on an industrial structure. He wears what appears to be gear. He carries a pilot with an x shaped visor that glows blue. Approaching him was none other than Hand Song who then kisses him before walking off. Stanley then walks with her before the vision ends.
"Stanley. He's alive too." Darius said.
"Darius, you must find your siblings before the darkness gets to them." The Daughter spoke.
"That's what I have been trying to do but my older brother. He is not himself my encounter with him at the Jedi Temple." Darius spoke to the Daughter, "He survived the darkness but he was found by Maleficent. He also told me that Amanda, our younger sister is with the others. I must find her."
"Your feelings for your family have grown strong within the Force along with the Light. I can see that." The Daughter said, "My Father is dying and my brother is not himself. He is obsessed with leaving this world to bring destruction to the Galaxy."
"Just like the Dark Master." Darius said.
"It is really your destiny, Darius?" The Daughter asked.
"But, my destiny is to stop the final clash between light and dark." Darius spoke softly.
"You must choose only one, Darius." The Daughter spoke as she leans closer to Darius.
"Can you choose?" Darius asked.
"Only you can choose your destiny and fulfill it. One that your heart can lead you to." The Daughter spoke.
"How do I know if my heart can choose my destiny?" Darius asked.
"Just have faith..." The Daughter spoke. She then grabs Darius' face and out of nowhere, plants her lips against his. Darius' eyes slowly close before he returns the favor. He has never been kissed by a Force Wielder, especially who is the most powerful of all wielders. They kiss for a half of minute before parting.
"Why did you-?" Darius asked.
"Forgive me. I shouldn't have done that." The Daughter spoked, regretfully.
"I understand what you're about to say." Darius said. He then catches her by kissing with a bit of passion. The Daughter returns the favor. They stayed like that for a while, when suddenly, Suddenly, Darius feels something before looking around.
"I sensed danger. We need to go." The Daughter said, quickly getting to the shore of the lake with Darius following her. Once ashore, Darius and the Daughter quickly get dressed and leave the lake before someone approaches them.
"There you are..." She spoke. Darius stands in front of the Daughter to confront this new threat.
"Who are you?" Darius demanded.
"I am Asajj Ventress. I was sent by my master to see if you wield both the Force and the Light" Ventress spoke before she sees the Daughter behind Darius, "I sense the Force more powerful than expected. My Master will be pleased with this."
"You will have to go through me if you want to get to her." Darius snarled before he summons Six Spirit King and gets into a defensive stance.
Ventress looks at the Keyblade before grinning wickedly, "I don't know how you can wield that weapon, but I will test its power."
"Hmph. Come and try." Darius spoke.
Asajj Ventress pulls out her curved lightsabers before they ignited their red blades. She charges at Darius with a yell. She lashes at Darius who stops in her tracks with the Keyblade. Amazingly, the Keyblade is made out of light so it is impervious to powerful weapons like lightsabers. As the blades locked, Darius turns to the Daughter.
"Get to your father. I'll hold her off!" He shouted at her. The Daughter quickly turns into the Griffith before flying away back to the Monastery.
Darius and Ventress clashed their weapons against one another, trying to overcome. Darius does a serious of blocks as Asajj unleashes fury strikes on him. That's when Darius jumps back before back-flipping in the air and land a few feet away from her. Darius aims his Keyblade and fires Blizzard at Asajj who uses the Force to move it away and into a rock. Ventress runs towards Darius who sees a cavern not far from him. He makes a run for it before someone lands in front of him. It was none other than the Son himself.
"Going somewhere?" The Son asks.
"You're not getting in my way!" Darius snarled.
That's when he was lifted by both the Son and Ventress with the Force. Darius struggles from the power as he tries to break free from the grip. He refuses to scream from the pain received. Closing his eyes, Darius breathes before he reaches out his arms, and fire rises from the ground. The Son and Asajj did not see it before the fire strikes them both, releasing Darius from the grip. He sees the cave before making a run inside. He follows the path before reaches to a platform in the center of a pond. He slowly makes his way to the platform before a diamond-shaped stone emerges from the center and opens up.
A black spiral stone emerges before it changes to what appears to be a short sword. Darius carefully takes the weapon before inspecting it.
"So, the Dagger of Mortis."
Darius turns and sees the Son who recovered from the fire attack.
"Give it to me, Darius. I can show you what your destiny lies." The Son said.
"I know my destiny: to save my family and the Universe from the Dark Master," Darius declared.
"Then you shall be destroyed." The Son said before shooting red lightning at him. Darius quickly leaps out of the way and escape the cave with the Dagger of Mortis. Asajj quickly recovers before seeing Darius running from the cave. She sees the Dagger of Mortis before seeing the Son in his gargoyle form. She quickly runs both of them as Darius rushes back to the Monastery.
[Monastery]
Darius reaches the entrance of the shrine before he sees both the Father and the Daughter approaching him.
"Father, Daughter! The Son is against you and an assassin named Asajj Ventress is here!" Darius spoke.
"I see that the Son wants to leave this place to bring havoc across the galaxy." The Father spoke before seeing the Dagger in Darius' hands. "Darius, the Dagger of Mortis is the only weapon that can end the immortality. You must stop him before it's too late."
The roar is heard before the three see the Son before he changes back to his human form.
"This is not my destiny, Father!" The Son snarled.
"I still love you, my son." The Father spoke before turning to Darius, "Darius, take care of my children."
"Don't do this!" The Son begged. The Father reaches out and the Dagger of Mortis is grabbed from Darius and then in an instant, he stabs himself. The Daughter slightly gasps before backing away from the Father.
"Father!" The Son said.
That's when a red blade strikes the Son in the chest before he falls to the ground along with the Father. Darius and the Daughter turn to see Asajj who stabbed the Son.
"I see that your father and brother are now dead. You shall join them now." Asajj spoke as Darius protects the Daughter. That's when loud rumbling occurs. The three looked to see the building collapsing. Everything is falling apart.
"We have got to go!" Darius shouts.
With that said, the two quickly find their way out of here. Reaching to the spot where Darius crashed, Darius pulls out his Skimmer which is still damaged from the crash. He remembers that he must rely on the Force. He meditates and the pieces of the Skimmer are being put back together. The Daugther was amazed at Darius' performance. The wing was placed back in place before Darius climbs on and fires up the Skimmer. He looks at the Daughter as she climbs on and holds on to Darius as he drives before taking into the air. He closes his eyes before a bright light shines.
[Coroscaunt]
It is late afternoon and the Allies are a bit worried about Darius.
"I still don't understand why would Darius ran away." Ahsoka spoke.
"He still trying to figure out why his brother betrayed him." Blake replied.
"Ahsoka, can you feel that?" Barriss asked.
Ahsoka looks around before she feels it too.
"I can feel it too." She said.
"Look!" Ruby shouted, getting everyone's attention.
The two Jedi and the Allies look up and see a familiar vehicle approaching.
"It's Darius!" Hayate shouted.
From the ring, Shahra emerges before she sees Darius approaching.
"Darius..." She spoke.
"Who is she with?" Fate asked, referring to the Daughter with Darius.
Darius lands as the Allies gather around. Darius has a lot of explaining to do.
My apologies for the long delay and I have decided to let the Daughter live. Also, I have some terrible news. Springfield Script has been deleted permanently. I don't know why, but without it, us writers won't be able to rewrite the episodes on TV or movies. Three more chapters for this world before moving on to the last two before KH2... Review...
