The next chapter will be based off the secret bosses. One of them is exclusive to Final Mix.
Chapter 48: The Double Legendary Battles
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy made their way to the dark depths of Radiant Garden and found Sephiroth staring at the dark castle. They walked up to him and he spoke.
Sephiroth: What is Cloud doing?
Sora: Beats me.
Sephiroth: By the way, you three...Who are you?
Sephiroth turns around and pulls out his sword at the trio. They jumped back and Sora draws out his Keyblade.
Dizzy: Dizzy won't tell Sephiroth!
Sephiroth: Well...That's an interesting sword you're carrying.
Plucky: It's the Keyblade!
Sephiroth: I see...So that's a Keyblade. And I suppose you must be it's chosen wielder.
Sora: So what if I am?
Sephiroth: I wonder if it won't change it's mind, once I defeat you.
Sora: Guys, let me deal with him!
Dizzy: But Sora need Dizzy's help!
Plucky: Kid, last time you fought him, you nearly got killed!
Sora: I was only a rookie back then. Now I'm more skilled and alot more powerful.
Sephiroth: You've got guts, kid. Unfortunately for you, I will send you to the lifestream.
Sora and Sephiroth charged at each other and clashed their blades. They continued clashing, until Sephiroth teleports and reappears behind Sora. He was about to strike his sword, but Sora dodged the attack. The two swordsmen then dashed against each other in really fast dash attacks. Eventually, Sora breaks through Sephiroth's attack and slashed him multiple times and released three spheres of light around him, doing alot of damage to Sephiroth. Sephiroth was barely standing.
Sephiroth: I see that you have improved alot, kid.
Sora: I told you before, I'm much more skilled and powerful.
Sephiroth: Unfortunately for you, I was holding back the entire time. Now I'll fight for real.
Sephiroth released some dark aura from his body, increasing his powers further.
Sephiroth: Now I will send you to the afterlife.
Sephiroth charged at Sora and slashed him multiple times, doing alot of damage to him. Sephiroth then surrounds Sora with multiple dark spheres and closed them in on him, doing alot more damage. He charged at Sora and released a bunch of fire pillars at him, doing even more damage. Sora was barely standing and panting very heavily.
Sora: You...are...alot...more...powerful...than...before.
Sephiroth: I told you before, I was holding back.
Sora: Well...I was...holding back...too!
Sephiroth: WHAT?
Sora: Now...to...unleash...my...Limit Form!
Sora activates his Limit Form and charged at Sephiroth. He uses Sonic Blade to dash attack Sephiroth multiple times. He then use Strike Raid to throw his Keyblade at Sephiroth multiple times. He then use Zantetsuken to strike at Sephiroth with one powerful slash at a really fast speed. Sephiroth took alot of damage from all those attacks. He was panting heavily.
Sephiroth: I'm...impressed...You...have...indeed...grown...alot...stronger.
Sora: Now I have the upper hand!
Sephiroth: Not yet...I still...have...one more...trick...up my...sleeves.
Sephiroth floats up in the air and was about to deliver his ultimate attack.
Sephiroth: Descend, Heartless Angel.
A halo appears above Sora's head. It then zaps him, draining nearly all of his energy. Sora fell to his knees.
Plucky & Dizzy: SORA!
Sora: Not again...Why does...this attack...feel familiar.
Sephiroth: This is Heartless Angel. When I cast it, it drains your energy.
Sora: I...can't...give...up.
Sora uses an Elixir to heal himself.
Sephiroth: You're just as persistent as ever.
Sora: I've yet to unleash my ultimate attack.
Sora jumps in the air and uses Ragnarok. He slashed at Sephiroth multiple times and finished by firing multiple energy spheres at him. Sephiroth fell back to the ground. Sora lands besides Plucky and Dizzy.
Sora: How'd you like that?
Sephiroth stood help and cleans his shoulder from the dust.
Sephiroth: I admit you're very skilled...But apparently, Cloud is the only one who can eliminate me.
He turns back to the dark castle.
Sephiroth: Tell Cloud to come here. Tell him Sephiroth is looking to settle things.
Sora: Very well. We'll go tell him.
the trio ran all the way back to the Radiant Garden marketplace and found Cloud.
Sora: Hey, Cloud!
Cloud: Hey, kid. Have you seen Sephiroth?
Sora: Of course! He's in the dark depths.
Cloud: I see...So I guess it's time we settled this.
Cloud walks away. The trio watched him.
Sora: Cloud...
Plucky: We should head back.
Sora: Right!
The trio ran all the way back to the dark depths and went to Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: Did you give him my message?
Sora: Maybe.
?:Sorry to keep you, Sephiroth!
Everyone turns to see Cloud entering the area.
Sephiroth: Cloud...You'll never let go of the darkness...
Cloud pulls out his Fusion Sword.
Cloud: Shut up.
Sephiroth pulls out his sword as well.
Sephiroth: You'll never let go of your past...
Cloud: SHUT UP!
Cloud charged at Sephiroth, but he jumps in the air. Cloud follows him and they start clashing their swords.
Sora: Cloud! Get him!
Sephiroth knocks Cloud back to the wall. He charged at Cloud, but he jumps even higher. Sephiroth follows him and they clashed again. Sephiroth knocks Cloud back to the ground. He charged back at Cloud, but he jumps back to the wall and jumps back at Sephiroth. They both landed on the ground. They both charged at each other and slammed their swords at each other.
Sephiroth: Absurd. Defeating me is meaningless. You know that more than anyone, Cloud. No matter how many times I fall, your darkness keeps calling me back.
?: Wrong!
Tifa suddenly appears.
Cloud: Tifa! Stay back!
Tifa: How can I? I wanna help you.
Sephiroth slashed at Cloud, but he jumps back.
Sephiroth: You can't. He'll never let go of the darkness.
Tifa: He doesn't have to. he just needs someone to surround him with light.
Sephiroth points his sword at Tifa, who jumps back.
Tifa: The darkness will be there, Sephiroth. But it will be in a place you can't reach.
Sephiroth: Is that right? Let's see what this light of yours can do.
Sephiroth slashed at Tifa, but she dodged the attack and charged at him with a punch, but he dodged as well. A flash of light appears in Cloud's mind.
Cloud: NO!
Tifa keeps delivering punches and kicks at Sephiroth, but he keeps dodging all of her attacks. He slashed at Tifa several times, but she dodged as well.
Sora: LOOK OUT!
Sephiroth charged at Cloud, but he dodged the attack and lands beside Tifa.
Tifa: Cloud, you can have my light.
Sephiroth: The light doesn't suit you.
Cloud: I just...don't know.
Suddenly, light glows around Cloud's body.
Sephiroth: STOP!
Sephiroth flew towards Cloud, but stops as Cloud glows again. The two of them jumps in the air and they disappeared in a flash of light.
Dizzy: Where they go? Did they made it back to their own world?
Sora: They went somewhere else...Cloud went to fight a great battle. To defeat the darkness inside him.
Tifa walks up to the trio.
Tifa: Gone again.
Sora: What will you do now?
Tifa: Guess I'll keep looking.
Sora: Got any leads?
Tifa: Don't worry...Light is easy to find.
She walks up to Sora.
Tifa: I gotta go. Here. This is for helping me out.
She gave Sora a Keychain called the Fenrir. Sora puts it on and the Keyblade now looks like a long gray sword.
Sora: But wait. When did we help?
The trio saw Tifa leave the dark depths.
Plucky: We better get going too. I believe we're done with Radiant Garden for now.
Sora: Right! Let's head back to the Gummi Ship!
The trio returns to the Gummi Ship.
Sora: So where do we go now?
Sweetie: Well, we have a distress call from Queen Babs.
Plucky: What does she want now?
Sneezer: She wants us to return to Acme Castle.
Dizzy: Is it something important.
Sweetie: I don't know. But we should return there anyway.
Dizzy turns to Sora.
Dizzy: While we back in Acme Castle, let not tell Fifi about Furrball. She might get upset if we do.
Sora: Got it! Let's head back to Acme Castle!
Sneezer: Yes, sir! Returning to Acme Castle!
The Gummi Ship left Radiant Garden and returns to Acme Castle. The trio made there way to the throne room, where Babs, Shirley, and Fifi are waiting.
Babs: You're back, guys! It's great to see you again!
Sora: Is their something wrong?
Shirley: No, but we feel something strange in the Hall of the Cornerstone.
Fifi: Oui, Calamity and Cosette went down there to find out what's going on.
Sora: Then let's go check it out!
Babs: Be careful, you guys! I sense something very powerful down there.
The trio went down to the Hall of the Cornerstone, where Calamity and Cosette are at.
Cosette: Sora, what great timing!
Sora: Hi, guys! What's going on?
Calamity: It's just terrible! Would you look at that?
Calamity and Cosette points to a dark portal on the other side of the room.
Cosette: I came to check on the Cornerstone of Light and that's when I saw it. I don't know how long it's been there.
Calamity: It looks like it leads somewhere. But where?
Dizzy: Maybe it connected to past like other one.
Plucky: Or maybe it's a trap set up by the Organization.
Sora: Whatever the case, we should be prepared for anything if we're going to check it out.
The trio walks up to the portal and jumps in it. When they exited the portal, they appeared in some kind of badland. They looked around the place when suddenly, a sandstorm appears in front of them. When the sandstorm dies down, a mysterious figure appears. The figure is in a golden armor with a long yellow cape and holding some kind of giant golden keyblade. The figure is kneeling on the ground. It then spoke.
?: Aqua...Ven...
Sora draws out his Keyblade. Plucky and Dizzy got in their fighting stances as well.
?: A Keyblade? Who are you?
The figure looks at Sora.
?: I know you. We've met before, way back when. No, that wasn't you. You're not the one I chose.
The figure looks at the trio again.
?: Where is he? Xe...ha...nort...Is that you? Xeha...nort...
The figure stood up.
?: Xehanort!
The figure pulls it's Keyblade off the ground and got in it's fighting stance.
Sora: Be careful, guys! I have a feeling this fighter is much stronger than Cell, Mewtwo, Megatron, Sephiroth, and all the others combined.
The trio charged after the figure, but it summons a bunch of drones to fire lasers at the trio, doing some damage to them. Sora strikes his Keyblade at the figure, but it counters with it's Ars Arcanum, delivering a slashing combo at Sora. Plucky Uses Thundaga on the figure, but the figure counters with it's own Thundaga, zapping Plucky. Dizzy uses Spin Attack, but the figure uses it's own Spin Attack. All of the attacks hit the trio, doing alot of damage.
Sora: Man, that thing knows all of our attacks!
Plucky: Yeah, and they're alot stronger than our own!
Dizzy: We may need new strategy!
Sora and Plucky fires Firaga and Blizzaga at the figure, but it dodged the attacks. The figure uses Strike Raid, throwing it's Keyblade at Sora multiple times. It counters Plucky with it's own Firaga and Blizzaga, burning and freezing him. Dizzy uses Headbutt on the figure, but it uses Sonic Blade, dash attacking Dizzy multiple times. The trio took alot more damage. The figure summons drones again to fire lasers at the trio, doing some more damage. The trio are panting heavily.
Sora: That...thing...is...too...powerful!
Plucky: It must...be the...most...powerful foe...we ever...fought!
Dizzy: We may...need to...try...Master Form...again!
Sora: Good...idea...Let's...do it!
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy merges to become Master Form again. Sora is carrying the Fenrir and Gull Wings Keyblades. He uses Magnega to trap the figure in a sphere. He uses multiple Firaga, Blizzaga, and Thundaga spells at the figure, doing alot of damage. He then uses Spin Attack to do alot more damage to the figure. When the magnet sphere disappears, the figure enlarged it's Keyblade and fires a giant energy sphere at Sora, who blocks it, and sends it back to the figure. The figure took damage and flew in the air. Sora delivers a slashing combo at the figure, doing alot of damage. The figure fell on the ground and was panting heavily.
Sora: Now let's finish this!
Sora charged at the figure, but the figure zaps Sora with electricity, reverting him, Plucky, and Dizzy back to their normal forms. The trio are panting heavily.
?: That's it. Your powers. That's what I felt within you.
The figure puts it's Keyblade on the ground and kneels again. Suddenly, Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy fell on the ground and passed out. A few hours later, Sora woke up to find an ice bag on his head. His vision was blurry. He could see what looks like Babs, Shirley, and Fifi watching over him. He found himself on a bed back in Acme Castle.
Sora: OW! My head. What happened?
Babs: Well, we found you unconscious on the ground and we sent you back to the castle.
Shirley: Like, we saw that you fought some stranger and you fell unconscious for like 6 hours.
Fifi: Oui, that must be a really tough battle.
Sora: Where are Plucky and Dizzy?
Babs: They are right over there.
Babs points to the beds with Plucky and Dizzy on them.
Shirley: Like, they were down on the ground with you too.
Fifi: We managed to bring them back to the castle.
Sora: What about the portal?
Babs: It disappeared after we brought you back.
Shirley: Like, everything's perfectly fine now.
Fifi: Oui, but you three should rest for tonight.
Sora: But I need to stop Organization XIII!
Sora was about to sit up, but feels his back aching.
Sora: OW!
Babs: Now, now, Sora! You should take a rest!
Sora: I guess you're right.
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy took a rest for the night. The next morning, they got all better and head back to the Gummi Ship.
Sora: Well, where do we go now?
Sweetie: Well, there seems to be no errands in any other worlds.
Sneezer: Now we should head to the Organization's world.
Plucky: How do we get there?
Sweetie: We have to go to Disney Town first.
Sora: Then let's return to Disney Town!
Sneezer: Aye, aye, captain! Returning to Disney Town!
The Gummi Ship left Acme Castle and departs for Disney Town.
That's it for chapter 48. The figure that Sora and the gang has fought is called the Lingering Will. It is the toughest boss in Final Mix. Next time, Sora will return to Disney Town.
