Chapter 84

Tears quickly fell from Lucy's eyes as she said, "They're all dead?"

"But how can that be?!", question Lisanna. "They were just fine when we left them."

"I can smell someone else here too.", said Laxus.

"Who was it?", asked Erza demandingly.

"I know it was Xehanort, but he also had another smell."

"No way…", said a crying Wendy. "All of our friends..." Charle went up to Wendy and hugged her.

"Wendy…", said Sherria as she too was about to cry.

"If this is a game, I'm not laughing.", said Gray as he tightened his grip.

"Me too.", said an angry Lyon.

"Sora-san…", said Juvia as she started to cry. "Aqua-san…"

Lucy then collapsed onto her knees and cried, "Why?!"

"Somebody's gotta pay!", said Cana.

"Definitely.", said Laxus.

"Kairi and Lea…", said an upset Lisanna. "They worked so hard…"

"I know…", said Mirajane.

"Those bastards…", said an angry Elfman. "How unmanly can they be?!"

"How can they all be wiped out…", wondered a shocked and angry Freed.

"Yeah, they're all pretty powerful.", said Bickslow.

"Could the Organization really be that strong?", question Evergreen.

"Then that means it will be difficult to defeat them.", said Levy.

"I don't care.", said Gajeel. "They're gonna die."

"Agreed.", said Lily.

Happy, who was crying, took notice of Natsu and became shocked. Natsu tightened his grip and gritted his teeth. He was furious.

"Natsu…", said a worried Happy.

"Those bastards…", he growled. "Just killed our friends!" He then looked up into the sky and breathed out a large amount of fire from his mouth in anger. Everyone was then facing him with surprise. "How dare they do that to our friends. They're gonna die!"

Just then, Sora's Keyblade started to glow a blue light. Natsu stopped and looked at the blade and everyone else looked at it as well. A blue image appeared in front of the Keyblade, which was a figure on its knees with its hands on the actual Keyblade. When they all got a closer look, they all became surprised because the figure was Sora.

"Sora!", said Natsu.

"How is he here?!", wondered Lucy.

"That's not him.", said Erza. "I guess he made this."

"They're gone.", he cried. "Kairi, Donald… Goofy, the King… Gone forever. What do we do? Without them...I… All my strength came from them. They gave me all of it. Alone, I'm worthless. We've lost… It's over."

They then heard a voice from the image, but they couldn't hear it right. Sora's expression changed to sadness and awe and then he gasped. He then held out his hands, then tons of scratches appeared on his body with blood dripping down his entire body. Still crying, Sora gritted his teeth and jammed his Keyblade onto the ground. He then noticed his Keyblade began to glow blue and he saw an image of him crying and repeating what he just said.

"I guess this recorded what happened.", he said. "In that case… People of Earth Land, if you are watching this, we have all died. But I don't want this to be all for nothing." He then started to cry again. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more, I'm weak. I couldn't even save my friends! But I know giving up is not your way. So please...help me."

After that, the image of Sora disappeared, leaving his Keyblade behind. Everyone stood there in silence, but they were all shocked.

"Sora…", said Lucy. She then noticed Natsu walking past Sora's Keyblade. "Natsu…?"

"Of course.", he said calmly. "That's what friends do." He then took a deep breath, raised his arms, and shouted. "HE'S GONNA PAY!"

Erza came up in front of everyone and said, "We have all heard his message. The Organization is still here and they are gone. We must take on their wills and end this war. Now, let's go!"

"RIGHT!", they all shouted.

They all started to run towards the main graveyard, leaving behind Sora's Keyblade.

In the main area of the Keyblade Graveyard, there were two crossroads, covered by many Keyblades in the area. At the center of the crossroads were all of the Organization members, who were circling around a member who was badly damaged. The one that was injured was Terra-Xehanort.

"Never thought a duck would do so much damage.", said Larxene.

"Nobody asked your opinion.", said Terra-Xehanort.

Master Xehanort came up to him and pointed his Keyblade at him.

"Curaga."

Suddenly, all of Terra-Xehanort's wounds have healed.

"Never though he knew how to use that spell.", said Master Xehanort. "It's considered a forbidden magic."

"Hey, old coot.", said Xigbar. "I hate to break up your magic theory but we got people here."

Master Xehanort and the other Organization members faced one of the crossroads where they saw a group of people coming towards them.

"It's them.", said Ansem.

"Guess they heard what happened.", said Marluxia.

Saix went up to Master Xehanort and asked, "Kill them all, sir?"

"Yes.", answered Master Xehanort.

When the mages came close to them, they stopped. All of them were furious and prepared to fight.

"You came, mages.", said Master Xehanort. "Unfortunately, all of the Guardians are dead. Each one of them suffered in the depths of darkness. And you couldn't save them, how tragic."

After saying that, Natsu emerged from the crowd and walked towards Master Xehanort with furry in his eyes. Master Xehanort looked curious while Ansem and Xemnas, who took notice of Natsu's furry, teleported in front of Master Xehanort.

"Stop right there.", said Ansem.

Ignoring what he just said, Natsu fired two large amounts of fire magic at them. The two blacked the attack with their arms, but they were pushed back a little because of Natsu's overwhelming power. Master Xehanort saw the two get pushed back with surprise, until he noticed that Natsu was right in front of him. Natsu, while growling, then clenched his fist and punched Master Xehanort so hard he sent him flying past the other members of the Organization. He then crashed onto the ground not far from them.

Most of the members of the Organization were shocked at what just happened. Meanwhile, the mages stood there in silence and had no reaction to what Natsu did. Master Xehanort slowly got up after the attack. His nose was bleeding, but he looked unsurprised and serious.

"THAT'S FOR MAKING OUR FRIEND CRY!", he angrily shouted.

Master Xehanort smiled.

"No helping it.", he said as he wiped the blood off. "I can see why you wanted to do that."

Suddenly, a Keyblade was near his face. Natsu then faced the one who had the blade with a serious look. It was Terra-Xehanort.

"Why do you still fight for them?", he asked. "They're weak."

Natsu twitched his nose.

"That smell…", he said.

The other Dragon Slayers twitched their noses and then became shocked.

"That man…", said Wendy with horror.

"He was with the Guardians before their deaths.", said an angry Gajeel.

"This man is responsible?!", questioned Lyon.

Lucy stepped forward and shouted, "Give our friends back!"

"That's not going to happen.", said Saix.

Erza then walked past Lucy. Natsu saw her and he looked worried. Erza had a serious and furious look on her face.

"You bastards.", she angrily said. "How could you take their lives so easily. They had so much ahead of them." She then remembered Aqua crying after rescuing her. "Even those who were suffering were trying to find happiness!"

"Those fools have served their purpose.", said Terra-Xehanort. "The X-blade will still be forged."

In fury, Erza summoned one of her swords and charged forward, while shouting, "Shut up!"

Terra-Xehanort responded by blocking her attack with his Keyblade.

"So you will be my opponent?"

"Making an enemy of Fairy Tail is a decision you will regret!" Both of them jumped away from each other. Erza then re quipped into her Heaven's Wheel armor. "We would never betray them. We would rather die!"

"Heaven's Wheel: Pentagram Sword!"

However, Terra-Xehanort quickly dodged the attack by jumping into the air and pointed his Keyblade at her.

"Dark Volley!"

He launched multiple dark projectiles at her, but Erza flew past them, causing them to crash into the ground. But suddenly, Vanitas showed up beside her.

"Too slow!", he said when he raised his Keyblade.

He was then kicked in the back of the head and was sent crashing onto the ground.

"What the-?!", he said with shock while getting up.

He then saw Wendy with Charle holding her while she used her Aera magic.

"Wendy…", said Erza.

"Erza-san's fight.", said a serious Wendy. "Don't interrupt it!"

Sherria then came up to Wendy, ready to fight.

"Sherria!"

"Sky Sisters are back in business!", she said.

Charle then let go of Wendy and transformed into her human form.

"Let's go!", she said.

Both girls nodded and charged towards the enemy. Erza smiled and she continued her fight with Terra-Xehanort.

"We shouldn't be standing here.", said Gray. "We got to fight too!"

Suddenly, Xigbar and Larxene appeared above them with their weapons in their hands.

"Shouldn't let your guard down.", said Xigbar.

"Now you losers are dead!", said Larxene.

"Iron Dragon's Club!"

Gajeel's attack hit Xigbar in the stomach. He felt incredible pain by that attack and crashed onto the ground. Gajeel then went after him and Lily followed him. Meanwhile, Lisanna, in her Wing Form, flew above Larxene and kicked her back until she hit the ground. Everyone else scattered throughout the area.

Marluxia appeared behind Lisanna, with his scythe in his hand. However, Mirajane, in her Satin Soul Form, appeared beside him.

"Demon Blast!"

Mirajane launched a large ball of dark energy at him. But Marluxia blocked the attack with his scythe.

"You should never touch her.", she said with a dark tone.

Marluxia looked surprised and charged towards her.

Larxene got up after the attack and angrily said, "Damn you!"

"I'll be your opponent!", said Lisanna as she charged towards her.

Far from Lisanna and Larxene, Gray and Lyon were facing Young Xehanort.

"Ice-Make: Arrows!"

"Ice-Make: Dragonfly!"

Gray and Lyon fire multiple ice attacks at Young Xehanort. But Young Xehanort transformed his Keyblade into a whip and destroyed all of the ice attacks with a single slash.

"Ice-Make-"

Before Lyon could attack, a large object was coming towards him. Lyon blocked the attack with his arms and was sent flying. Lyon crashed onto the ground in pain.

"Lyon!", shouted Gray.

Young Xehanort attempted to attack him with his Keyblade, but Gray blocked the attack with his Ice shield. When Gray saw a good look at the object, he saw it was a claymore and the one that was holding it was Saix.

"Beast Soul!"

Elfman, in his Beast Form, charged towards Saix and rammed into him using his shoulder. Saix blocked the attack using his claymore but was pushed back a little. Meanwhile, Lyon got up after the attack and joined Elfman.

"We got this one!", said Elfman.

"Focus on your fight!", said Lyon.

Gray nodded and created an ice sword to fight against Young Xehanort.

"Gray-sama!", shouted Juvia as she ran towards Gray while giving him a serious look.

Gray saw it and understood. Young Xehanort tried to attack him with his whip, but Gray then jumped into the air, dodging the attack and leaving him with Juvia.

"Water Slicer!"

The attack flew towards Young Xehanort. He then put up a 360 barrier around him and all of the water blades crashed onto the barrier. He smirked and put the barrier down. But before he could attack her, Gray was flying down towards him.

"Ice-Make: Hammer!"

A giant ice hammer came flying down towards Young Xehanort.

"Stopza!"

The entire area was increased by a giant sphere with clocks on it and everyone in that area stopped what they were doing except for one. Young Xehanort.

"A very clever strategy.", he said. "However I don't have time to deal with this."

He then disappeared into a dark corridor. After he left, the sphere was gone and everyone started to move again while the ice hammer hit the ground, causing the land and ice to become smaller pieces.

"Gray-sama!", said Juvia.

"I didn't get him.", he said.

"What do you mean?"

"He's gone. I can't sense his magical energy."

"Why would he leave in the middle of a battle?"

"I don't know. But we gotta go help our friends."

Not far from Saix, Lyon, and Elfman, Levy and Mest were fighting against a hooded Organization member.

"Solid Script: Fire!"

The word "Fire" appeared in the air and transformed into flames that flew towards the figure. Then the figure summoned something from the air and slashed down the attack. Levy was surprised and got a closer look at what the figure did. When she saw what the figure was holding, she became shocked because the weapon the figure was holding was Sora's Keyblade.

"Hey, isn't that…?", she wondered.

Before she could think any further, the figure attempted to strike her down, but Levy dodged the attack. The figure tried to attack again, but Mest grabbed Levy and they both teleported.

"Why does that Organization member have Sora's Keyblade?", wondered Mest.

The figure then fired a blizzard spell at them, but Mest teleported out of the way. They then noticed that there were some lightning strikes in the area.

Laxus fired multiple lightning strikes from the sky at Riku. But Riku kept a 360 barrier around him and some of the attacks bounced off of the barrier in different directions. Some managed to hit Laxus and he absorbed them.

Riku then disappeared and reappeared in front of Laxus. He then aggressively started to strike him multiple times, but Laxus kept dodging.

While he was attacking, Riku said, "You're pretty good for a fairy. I heard you're the strongest in their guild. I can't wait to see their faces when they see your pathetic self lie on the ground and me over your body. Because that's what happens when people screw with me!"

"Is that so?", said Laxus.

Laxus stopped and when Riku's blade came close to him, Laxus grabbed Riku's writs. Riku looked surprised.

"You what happens when you mess with our family?" Laxus clenched his free fist and there was lightning energy surrounding it. "You get crushed!" Laxus then punched Riku in the face so hard he crashed onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Xemnas was dodging arrows that were fired from Sagittarius. He then fired one of his lasers at him. Sagittarius couldn't dodge quick enough and was hit in the shoulder, causing him pain that made him collapse onto his knees.

"Sagittarius!", said a worried Lucy.

"I-I'm fine…", he responded in pain.

"You did good. You should return to get some rest."

Sagittarius nodded and he disappeared, returning to the Spirit World.

"You see?", said Xemnas. "You led them into this."

Lucy then faced Xemnas with a serious look and grabbed Cancer's key.

"Summoning another spirit? They'll just keep suffering."

"Star Dress: Cancer Form!"

Xemnas looked surprised.

"Don't think I'll just use my spirits to do the fighting.", she said. "I can fight too! Now give me back Aquarius' Key!"

She then charged towards him and attempted to strike him, but he dodged it. But still, she continued to land a hit on him.

Did she just incorporate the power of her Spirit into her body?, he thought.

Xemnas summoned his Ethereal Blades and two engaged in a double blade sword fight.

While they were fighting, Luxord was watching them not far from where Lucy and Xemnas were fighting. Luxord then pulled out three cards from his deck and threw them towards Lucy.

"Get away from Lucy!"

Before the cards could hit her, the cards were hit by another object causing an explosion that got both Lucy's and Xemnas' attention.

"You have no right to interfere.", a female voice said. "You're so annoying!"

It was Cana.

"Cana!", said Lucy.

Luxord then reappeared next to Xemnas.

"Is there a reason you interfered?", Xemnas asked Luxord.

"I wanted to see how the dear lady would handle two.", he answered. "But I changed my mind now. I found something even better." He then faced Cana. "You there. I assumed that your magic is card based, correct?"

"And what's it to you?", asked Cana.

"How would you like to play a game?"

"A game?! At a time like this?!", she exasperated.

"Yes. Life is about taking risks and you, my dear lady, are a worthy opponent in this deadly warzone."

'Dear lady'?, wondered an annoyed Cana.

"Cana, you shouldn't let him get to you.", said Lucy. "He could be tricking you."

"Fine. I'll play your game. What is it?"

"Cana!"

Luxord smiled. "Wonderful. Since we are on a battlefield and you're a mage, you already know what it is."

"A battle to the death?", she answered.

Luxord nodded and charged towards her with two large cards in his hands. He then attempted to attack her with the cards but she quickly dodged, causing the cards to strike the ground.

"The Prayer's Fountain!"

She placed a card on the ground and several beams of water came streaming out from it, which they began striking in all directions. Luxord put a card barrier around him and once the attack was finished, both he and Cana went off to fight.

"Cana…", said Lucy.

But Lucy quickly jumped into the air when Xemnas fired several lasers towards her.

However far from everyone else, there's an incredibly tense battle happening.

Natsu and Ansem were fighting in the air, with Happy carrying Natsu. Ansem then fired several disks towards Natsu at great speed.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"

All of the blades were burnt away by the attack. The attack even got close to Ansem, but he put his arm over his face to avoid the flames. But then, Natsu emerged from the flames.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu attempted to attack him with a fiery punch, but Ansem blocked the attack with both arms.

"This is more like it!", said Natsu. "I got tired of you guys talking and no fighting and you're all pretty good. Guess you're not all bark and no bight."

"That can be said to you.", said Ansem. "However, you all die here."

Ansem then pushed Natsu away by spreading his arms out with full force.

"Not happening!"

Near the fight between Natsu and Ansem in the skies, the Raijin Tribe was fighting against Master Xehanort on the ground.

"Baryon Formation!"

"Fairy Machine Gun: Leprechaun!"

Both attacks combined to form a large powerful attack. Just when the attack came close, Xehanort raised his hand and part of the ground rose up and the attack hit the rock wall. But after that attack, Freed was above Xehanort using his Dark Ecriture: Wings spell.

"Dark Ecriture: Destruction!"

Freed flew down towards Master Xehanort and slashed him with great force. But Xehanort blocked the attack with his Keyblade. The two of them engaged into a sword fight. Freed created two slashes from his sword and Xehanort blocked them with his Keyblade, but the attack was so powerful it pushed him back a little.

"They're not bad.", said Master Xehanort. "I can see why the Guardians needed their help. But, we're ending this early." He then snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the sky quickly became dark.

"When did it get so dark out?!", question Happy as he and Natsu looked at the sky.

"I see something in the sky!", shouted Sherria.

"What is that?!", asked Evergreen.

She was correct as there was something falling from the sky. When they all got a closer look, they all became shocked as Heartless, Nobodies, and the Unversed were falling down from the sky.

"Oh, you gotta be shitting me.", said an annoyed Gray.

"How are we supposed to fight these guys and also a ton of monsters?", said Bickslow.

"Damn it!", shouted an angry Natsu.

Suddenly, there were several lights in the sky.

"What are those lights?", asked Juvia.

"I can sense magical energy from them.", said Erza.

Wendy smelled the air and she was surprised.

"That smell…", she said. "Could it be?"

"They're late.", said Gajeel with a smile.

Some figures began to fall from the sky. Two figures were covered in white and black energy and continued to get bigger.

"White Dragon's…"

"Shadow Dragon's…"

"Roar!"

Two large magical energies combined into one attack and completely obliterated all of the monsters above them.

Almost all of the Organization members were completely shocked.

"That magic…", said Master Xehanort.

"It's reinforcements!", said Erza.

"Sting! Rogue!", shouted a happy Natsu.

There were others who landed at the sight: Yukino, Rufus, Orga, Minerva, Sorano, Dobengal, Meredy, Richard, Erik, Macbeth, Sawyer, Yuka Suzuki, Toby Horhorta, Ooba Babasaama, Hibiki, Eve, Ren, Sherry Blendy, Jenny, Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, Nichiya, Master Bob, Bacchus Groh, Rocker, Warcry, Jager, Nobarly, Semmes, Goldmine, Arana, Millianna, Beth, Risley, Macao, Wakaba, Romeo, Jet, Droy, Alzack, Bisca, Laki, Max, Nab, Reedus, Vijeeter, Warren, Kinana, and Master Makarov.

"Everyone…", said a joyful Lucy.

"We came to fight.", said Minerva.

"What happened to the Guardians?", asked Macbeth.

"They're all dead.", said Gray.

The mages who arrived became shocked.

"And they're the ones who did it!", said Juvia who was pointing at the Organization members.

"Then we know what to do now.", said Rufus.

"These guys must be stopped.", said Makarov, with Kinana watching over him.

"Master, you shouldn't be here.", said Elfman.

"And let my children do all the fighting? No way in hell!"

Erza then said, "We understood, Master."

Terra-Xehanort attempted to strike Erza while she was distracted, but a barrier was put between him and two other people. Erza saw the two with surprise and smiled. It was Jellal and Kagura.

"Sorry we're late, Erza.", said Jellal.

"It's fine.", she said.

"So this man is a Keyblade wielder?", question Kagura.

"Yes."

"Care for assistants?", asked Jellal.

"Gladly."

"It doesn't matter if there are more of you.", said Terra Xehanort. "You are all destined to fall!"

He then fired dark energy balls at them, but they all quickly dodged them and charged towards Terra-Xehanort.

Everyone else began fighting the monsters that are all over the area. Allowing the mages who were already here to continue their fight against the Organization members.

But then, a giant Heartless appeared from the dark sky. It was pink, the lower part of its body was a pink sphere crystal ball and the rest of its body was a mixture of crystal and gear design. The Heartless was also holding a crystal wand and its name was Jewel Sorceress.

The Heartless then began to fire magical energy from it's wand down at the people who were fighting. Everyone was thrown into the air and they were all screaming.

"Seriously, how many monsters do they have?", said Sting.

"I don't know!", said Lector, who was using his Area magic to fly while holding Sting.

"Enough to wear us down.", said Rogue.

"Fro thinks so too!", said Frosch, who was also using his Area magic.

"Let's get it!", said Sting.

They then charged towards the Heartless. But before they could attack, the crystal sphere from the Heartless began to glow and fired several beams at them. Sting could not eat them, as they were coming so fast and the Dragon Slayers and Exceeds were hit by the attack. All four of them crashed onto the ground. As they attempted to get up, they were suddenly wrapped around black and white thorns.

"What the hell?", question Sting as he struggled to get free.

"What's happening?", wondered Rogue.

"I can't get loose!", said Lector.

"Fro can't get free!", said Frosch.

Master Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas appeared in front of them.

"My guess is that you're the boss!", said Sting.

"You both use light and darkness magic.", said Master Xehanort. "I once tried to create the X-blade by clashing both pure light and pure darkness together, but the result ended in failure. I never thought I would see the day when light and darkness worked together. You two will be of use to us, along with Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon's Slayer."

Sting and Rogue were furious while Lector and Frosch were scared. Meanwhile, the Jewel Sorceress was right near Cana and was about to fire towards her using its wand. The Heartless fired the attack and Cana just noticed it coming towards her. Luxord then vanished away from her while the attack kept coming after her.

But then, someone came in front of her and the attack just broke apart the attack into small cubes.

"Sorry I came late.", said the person who saved her. "I was out on a job and I just got the Master's letter."

Cana looked up and sighed with a smile, because the person who saved her was none other than her father, Gildarts Clive, the strongest mage in Fairy Tail.

"I was fine.", said Cana. "But thank you."

"It's so wonderful to hear that!", said a happy Gildarts as he was hugging Cana.

"Would you stop that!", said an annoyed Cana as she was trying to get away from him. "We're at war!"

"Right, sorry. Leave this guy to me!"

Gildarts then ran after the Heartless. Cana then went after Luxord.

Meanwhile, the Sabertooth Dragon Slayers and Exceeds were still struggling to get loose. Just then, Natsu, Happy, Lucy, and the Raijin Tribe were running towards them.

"Who said you could ditch us back there!", shouted Natsu. "You still have to fight us!"

Evergreen fired Fairy magic at them and the three of them teleported away from the attack. Natsu came up to the Sabertooth mages and burnt the thorns away.

"Thanks, Natsu-san.", said Sting.

Before they can continue talking, Master Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas reappeared in front of them.

"You mages are strong. But you are quite troublesome", said Master Xehanort. "I know you think you can win because reinforcements arrived, but it will soon be proved that hope will be immediately crushed."

"Don't think so.", said Natsu. "If it's one thing we mages know is that we create our own miracles. Nothing is impossible!"

The mages and the three Organization members charged towards each other and they both clashed in a fierce fight.
