Chapter 10

Riku and the others were standing in the entrance of Zia's landscape. They all looked up at the castle in the distance, determination in their eyes.

"Korra's in there somewhere. Lea, you go find her. We'll cover for you." Riku said to Lea.

Lea nodded.

Zia was standing on her balcony. Vanitas appeared beside her.

"They're here." he said.

"Send out the Heartless." Zia said.

All at once, thousands upon thousands of Heartless came out of the castle, heading towards the Guardians of Light. They all summoned their Keyblades and took a battle position.

"Alright. Lights, let's do this." Riku turned his gaze to Lea. "Lea, bring her home."

"Right." Lea replied.

As Lea flew up into the air, Riku and the others started swiping at the Heartless. Some fought using their Keyblades, some fought using their powers. From above on her balcony, Zia watched on with a smile. Lea fought, dodged, and attacked incoming Heartless.

Lea spotted a window and he burst through, breaking the glass. He started rushing through the castle, looking for Korra.

Korra sat up in her cell. She heard the chaos from outside. Then Lea came bursting in.

"Lea!" Korra exclaimed, happy to see him.

"Korra, are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes." Korra replied.

Lea unlocked the cell and Korra got out, quickly hugging her brother.

"Did she do anything to you?" Lea asked.

"She took away my powers." Korra replied.

"All of it?"

Korra smiled and summoned her Keyblade. "Nope. Not all of it."

"Alright. Let's go after Zia." Lea said.

"Right."

Zia's smile grew as she saw the Lights starting to falter. She knew they won't hold for long. Then Lea and Korra burst into the room. Zia turned around with wide eyes.

"Zia!" Korra said.

Glaring, Zia transformed into a wyvern. "Vanitas, hold them off!" she said as she flew off her balcony.

"Go! I've got this!" Lea said to Korra. He glared at Vanitas.

Korra ran towards the balcony. She looked up and saw Zia flying up towards a tower. She looked down and spotted Riku.

"Riku!" she yelled down.

Riku looked up and saw Korra. He summoned his wings and flew up towards her direction. He landed beside her.

"Korra! Are you hurt?" Riku asked.

"No, I'm fine. I need you to get me up to Zia." Korra said quickly.

"Alright. Hang on." Riku said as he wrapped his arms around her. Korra held on and together they flew up to follow Zia.

Back with Vanitas and Lea, they were standing apart from each other on opposite sides of the room. They both had their Keyblades pointing to each other.

"You just don't ever give up, do you." Vanitas said.

"Nope. After all, it was you and your evil girlfriend who took my friend!" Lea said.

"Hmph. Bring it on, fire boy."

With a cry, Lea rushed towards Vanitas who dodged the first attack. They both started fighting.

Up in the air, Zia landed on a flat stone top of a tower and transformed back into a human. But she turned around when she heard flapping. Korra let go and dropped down onto the tower. Riku stayed in the air, keeping an eye on them.

"Your powers are gone. You can't go against me." Zia said.

"You may have taken my powers but you forgot one." Korra said.

"And what's that." Zia said.

"Ice." Korra quickly brought her arm up in an upwards arc and ice started building up towards Zia.

Zia avoided the attack and both Korra and Zia fought, Keyblades clashing and clanging, the light of the moon reflecting off of their Keyblades. The fight lasted for a while and then Zia disappeared into a portal. Korra stood there, out of breath. Riku landed beside her.

"Where'd she go?" Riku asked.

"I think I know where." Korra said.
