And now, the moment you've all be waiting for! IT'S FINALLY HERE! ASH KETCHUM VS. CINDER FALL!
Also, minor Kingdom Hearts 3 spoilers later on in an A/N.
Ash slowly woke up the next morning, and he felt something heavy on him. He then saw Velvet on top of him waiting for him to wake up with a seductive look. She was fully dressed in her combat outfit with her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Morning Ashy." She whispered.
"Velvet? When did you get here?" He asked.
"About a half an hour ago. Emerald and Neo are down at breakfast, and I wanted to wait for you to wake up." She said before kissing his cheeks.
After Ash got changed, he and Velvet went down to breakfast. They noticed that people were in a state of panic as of the news of what had happened last night and the emergency evacuation that was to take place shortly after his and Cinder's match in the early afternoon.
Just as they sat down, the rest of the love group, minus Glynda, joined them. Manaphy was back in Blake's arms.
Neo was in a new disguise. She wore a dress that looked similar to Ash's suit he wore at the dance, and at the party at the Schnee Manor. Her hair was jet black and in a ponytail and her eyes were chocolate brown. Her high heels were blue and stretched passed her thighs and had bright blue spheres on the feet and on the knees.
"Sleep well Ash?" Yang asked.
"I needed a little help from Emerald to get me to sleep. Just can't believe all that has happened. Why?" He asked while moving around some sausage with his fork.
"Believe me babe it was a huge amount of info to take in. Even I struggled to sleep." Amber said. Neo held his arm and nodded in agreement.
"So Ash, what do you think of my new appearance?" Ruby asked as she struck a pose with her ears perking up and tail wagging. He smiled and hugged her, to which she happily returned.
"I will admit, it will take me a bit of time, but I do love it." Ash said. Ruby squealed a bit and kissed him.
Just as she was kissing him, she began to feel like she had to do it. She pulled his jacket down and adjusted Yang's scarf and the necklace she gave him and smashed her lips onto his upper chest, causing Ash to grunt a bit from what she was doing. She then began teething it, causing him to grunt louder from it.
She finally pulled away and smiled. She looked at the kiss bite and it was pretty.
"I guess someone gotten desperate." Velvet said while chuckling a bit.
"Hey Ash, I have a little something for you too." Emerald said while digging into her pocket and pulled out the brooch. She put it on Ash's coat that was visible for him to see.
Ash opened it and saw a beautiful picture of Emerald.
"Emerald, thank you." He said while closing it and held it. Emerald gripped his hand and the brooch glowed a bit.
"It's a lucky charm." She said. He pulled her closer and held her waist.
"Emerald, you, all of you, are my lucky charms." He said. Emerald hugged him. "So, how about we head outside? Think you ladies can help stretch me out? I don't want anything slowing me down." Ash asked.
"YES!" They all said, minus Neo who just nodded.
As they went outside to do just that, Ash notices that something's up with Blake. She just held Manaphy and looked like she was worried.
"Blake?" He asked while everyone now turned towards her.
Blake slowly approached him and Manaphy jumped into Neo's arms. Blake held him and began to shake.
"Ash…I don't like this. I'm too scared for you." She said. Ash cupped her cheeks and her glossy amber eyes looked at his. "After all that has happened last night, I've had nothing but really bad feelings about this fight." She added.
"Honey, I know how you feel. Believe me, I'm scared too. I promise you that when this is all over, we can all rest to our hearts content. And besides…" He said while pulling her closer to him and closed the gap between them. "All of you are my source of power, you especially." He whispered.
Blake was beyond touched from his words. She was such a big deal to Ash in all those months of them knowing each other. That was it for her.
She yanked his head to hers and she kissed him and flung her arms around his neck while he held her waist. She then jumped onto him and wrapped her legs around his torso, and he held her by her ass.
She then broke away and looked into his eyes.
"You better promise me that you'll come back to me Ash Ketchum." She demanded.
"When this is over Blake Belladonna, we're stuck together for life." He assured her. She smiled and hugged him tight and purred.
Just as they finished up with help stretching Ash out, multiple portals opened up around them. They saw Masters Sora, Riku, Aqua, Terra and several other people emerging.
"Hiya!" Sora yelled.
"Hey guys! Good to see you. It's been a while." Ash said while he and Sora shared a bro hug.
"I agree. I see that you've gotten stronger." Aqua said while smiling.
"So it seems. Anyway, what brings you guys here?" Ash asked.
"This world is in danger. We are here to insist. By the way, the name's Axel. Got it memorized?" A tall spiky red haired man asked.
"Sure do Axel." Ash said before the love group introduced themselves.
"So you're the one that I've been hearing about. My name is Kairi, a Keyblade wielder such as you, and Sora's girlfriend." The short red hair girl said before summoning her Keyblade.

"Ven, you're always being the cheerful one aren't you?" Another person that looked almost exactly like Ven, along with a shorter dark haired girl that looked kinda like Kairi walked up to him.
"Wait, you two twins?" Ash asked.
"Well…..yes and no. Long story. Anyway, my name's Roxas, and this is my girlfriend Xion." Roxas said while Xion leaned on his arm.
"Hello." Xion said while smiling.
"Sweetie, shall we?" He asked her. Xion nodded and she summoned her own Kingdom Key, while Roxas summoned his own Oathkeeper, along with a dark Keyblade in the other hand.

Suddenly, a portal opened up behind the love group and Xedrek walked out.

Everyone gasped at what Axel was doing.
"AXEL!" Xedrek screamed in rage while summoning his Keyblades.
"Whoa WHOA!" Ash shouted while getting in between them and aimed his Keyblades at them. "Stand down you two! There's no need for this!" Ash demanded.
"Xedrek is the last remaining humanoid Nobody! He needs to be eradicated." Axel said.
"I came to this world to be away from the Organization, and to get my life back. I don't know how you found me, but I will not let you have your way Axel!" Xedrek yelled as his eyes glowed light and dark.
"First of all, I'm not the Axel you're familiar with. Got it memorized? Second, I just followed the others here, which led me to accidentally see you. And third, if you want proof, take a closer look at me then." Axel insisted.
Xedrek growled a bit before looking closer at him. He indeed noticed something a tad different about him; specifically the marks under his eyes were gone now. He then slowly calmed down and stood down.
"I got my eye on you. Anyway, the rest of the competitors are waiting at the Colosseum. You and your apprentices don't want to keep them waiting now." Xedrek said while looking back at Ash.
"Right. So, how come the twins aren't with you? I thought they'd be attached to you." Ash said. Xedrek sighed and just looked away, causing everyone to look towards him with shock and sadness. "Oh…sorry." He said.
"Forget about it. Who could ever love an empty shell anyway? I'll see you on the battlefield. I have…something special in store for you two." He said before disappearing.
"Speaking of which, you all are just in time for the fun. How about you all stick around and watch my match?" Ash requested.
"Yeah sure. I'm all for seeing how much you've come since we last met." Aqua said.
"OH! Don't forget your Pokémon Ash!" Blake yelled. Ash scratched his head in embarrassment as he kinda forgot about them.
After Ash scurried off to collect his Pokémon, he, along with his apprentices, Amber and Neo made it to the Colosseum where all the other competitors minus Team CMDS were waiting for him.
"There he is!" Charcoal yelled. Everyone cheered as Ash arrived. He high fived some people, and hugged a few people.
Ash made it to a chair and stood up and gained everyone's attention.
"Friends, acquaintances, and more, thank you all for coming here today. All of you will be playing a role for the upcoming match between me and Cinder. You will all be acting as escorts and companions for a handful of people that are here today." Ash said.
As he finished the statement, Emerald, Neo and Amber came forth.
"These three are targets of Cinder and they have agreed that the time had come for them to reveal themselves to Cinder. Team RWBY, you will protect Emerald. Let see….Team CLOD, you'll escort Neo, and….Team ARMY, you'll protect Amber." Ash said.
Neo went to join Charcoal and her team. Just as she did, she just gave Charcoal the stink eye.
"Hey, what's up?" Charcoal asked. Neo just rolled her eyes and silently scoffed at her. "Touchy." She whispered.
Meanwhile, Amber went over to Team ARMY where she met the team.
"So, I guess we are partners for now." Amber said.
"Don't worry. We got your back." Torn Ysiac said with a grin. The human's voice was raspy as if he was shouting for hours.
"So, shall we proceed?" Devon Yusuki, leader of Team DEMN, asked.
"Yes my friend. The time has come. Let's do this!" Ash yelled. Everyone cheered and they made their way towards the arena.
Meanwhile, back up in the stands, Delia and Miette were sitting right next to Team STRQ. Xedrek was on the arena meditating with his Keyblades revolving around him. The twins were nearby Delia and the others while they just looked at Xedrek with disgust.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Delia said. Summer held one of her hands.
"It's okay Delia. Your son is stronger than you realize." Summer said while comforting her.
"I hope you're right." She said.
"Excuse me? Are these seats taken?" Aqua asked as she and the others joined them from behind.
"No." Summer said. They all took the seats.
Just then, the jumbotrons turned on and Port and Oobleck appeared.
"This is it folks, the moment you've all been waiting for: the match between Cinder Fall, and the Keyblade Guardian himself, Ash Ketchum." Port announced.
"This is will go down in Vytal Tournament history as this championship match is unlike any other." Oobleck said.
"Now without further ado, let's introduce the winner of the Vytal Tournament finals, Cinder Fall." Port said.
Just then, flames shot out of the north ramp. Cinder slowly came out and made her way onto the arena.
"And now, without any further ado, here is the Keyblade Guardian himself. Ash Ketchum!" Oobleck yelled before the screens turned black.
Cue the ending of Ash's intro theme music from the beginning of tournament.
Flames erupted all around the arena as Ash was now looking down with his eyes closed while channeling his aura. Silhouettes of his apprentices, starting with Ruby, Blake, Yang and ending with Emerald, flashed behind him. Their hairs and eye were visible and glowed. They're hairs were blowing with the wind.
Ruby was moved to the upper right and vanished, Blake moved to the upper left and vanished, Yang to the lower left and vanished, and Weiss to the lower right and vanished. Emerald on the other hand, flashed just in front of Ash and vanished.
Ash then screamed and aimed his Keyblades into the air and beams of light burst out of them. The lights shattered and swirled around Ash until the final scene appeared with the six of them striking a pose with the word 'Keyblade' in front of them. The Colosseum roared with cheers.
Just then, a portal opened up and Ash and all the competitors emerged and the audience cheered louder with their arrival.
Xedrek then woke up and collected his Keyblades. He then slowly looked around and saw the twins eyeing him with binoculars. He closed his eyes and a single tear escaped from both of them before joining Ash. Little did he know that the twin's eyes widen from seeing the tears while they lowered their binoculars.
Just then, Ash and Cinder's eyes met and they stood face to face.
"We commend you for making it this far Cinder, as much as it makes me want to yak up my breakfast. You've made it here today for a chance to wield the very power of the Keyblade. But before we begin, there are a few people that wish to see you." Ash said before raising his left hand and asked Team CLOD to bring forth Neo.
Cinder just looked at her in confusion, until she saw her hair turned back to normal and her eyes changed back.
"Well, well Neo. Wasn't expecting you to be here. I was told you were sentenced to death." Cinder said.
Neo glared at her and opened up her umbrella and revealed the message of Salem's hate of magic to her. She gasped a bit before seeing Neo handing it to Ash.
"Why thank you for the friendly reminder Neo. You've proved yourself very useful these past couple of days. Your efforts will be rewarded soon enough." Ash said before rubbing her head.
Neo smiled and hugged him. She then looked back at Cinder gave her a hand sign that Cinder will perish. She went back with Team CLOD and refused to look back at her.
"Next up please." Ash said while signaling Team ARMY to bring Amber up front.
"Amber! I've missed you. Where've you been hiding all this time?" Cinder asked with a smirk.
"Like I'm gonna tell you that? Well, I'll say this for you then….I want the powers you stole from me back!" Amber yelled while her left eye ignited. Cinder glared at her while her right eye ignited with the same flame. This caused the competitors and many of the spectators to watch with shock.
"Once I'm through with Ash, you're next." Cinder spat at her while extinguishing her flame.
"We'll see." Amber retaliated while doing the same and leaving with Team ARMY.
"And finally, I've saved this next one for last. Apprentices, bring her forward." Ash said while stepping aside.
Cinder's eyes widen as she saw Emerald with Team RWBY. Emerald slowly got in front of Cinder with a look of hatred.
"Hello Cinder." She slightly growled.
"Emerald…no! You're dead." Cinder yelled slightly.
"Do I look dead to you? Mercury was terrible at taking out the trash. You should've been the one to do it. If it weren't for Ash and Yang, I wouldn't be here right now." Emerald said. Cinder growled and got closer to her.
"Why you little bit-HUH!?" Cinder gasped loudly as Emerald summoned Emerald Thorn and aimed it at her neck. Everyone, minus Ash, Team RWBY, Neo and Amber gasped loudly as Emerald was revealed to be a secret fifth apprentice to Ash.
"I cannot believe that I looked up to you Cinder. You were once like a mother to me. But when I began to realize more of what you've really become, I acted like a triple agent and aided Ash and the others. As for that virus you planted, don't even bother. The entire system has already been restored, secured and backed up." Emerald said.
"Look Emerald, I know what I did was wrong and now I realize it. But I think this is the perfect redemption. What do you say, will you come back with me and we can start over?" Cinder requested.
Emerald just looked at her for a brief moment until she slowly started walking backwards towards Ash. Cinder just stood there practically heartbroken that Emerald was doing this. Emerald then wrapped herself around Ash.
"No Cinder. I'm not going back. My life belongs to him now. No…all of Team RWBY. They became the very family I ever needed, and Ash is the perfect figure for me. You're a monster, and you will always be a monster." Emerald said before going back with the others with Team RWBY right behind her.
Cinder gasped slightly from her words.
"Ash, it's time." Xedrek said to him.
"Yes! Perhaps it's time she took her frustration out on me. All of you get to your seats and enjoy the show." Ash said to the competitors. They all cheered and they began to depart. Ash then quickly pulled his apprentices to him. "Pikachu, stay with them." He said to him.
"Pika." Pikachu said before jumping onto Emerald's shoulder.
Just then, Ash took out his Poke Balls and handed them to them. He then began to take off the accessories they gave him.
"Ash? What are you doing?" Yang asked.
"These items…I will not need them. I wish for you all to hold them during this match. Don't want them to get destroyed now, do we?" Ash asked while handing them the items.
"Take her down Ash." Ruby said before they all collected the items and hugged him.
Ash watched as they left and then slowly turned towards Cinder and summoned both of his Keyblades.
"Well Cinder, the time has come to see if you really are worthy of being named a Keyblade wielder." Ash said.
"Yes, and I cannot wait to present it to Queen Salem. She'll reward me a thousand fold. And then I…did I miss the joke?" Cinder asked as Ash began to chuckle at her.
"You fool. Even if you do win, it still wouldn't matter because only a MASTER can pass it on to another. You, on the other hand, would be a novice, a grade A+ amateur, and won't reach the level unless properly dubbed." Ash said.
"WHAT!?" Cinder screamed in rage and her eye ignited again.
"In short, she'll still lose. But…" Ash said before making his way to the center where a pedestal was at. "That still doesn't mean that you don't have a shot. You really think you can take on this responsibility? Then go on….take it!" Ash yelled before his anger grew. "TAKE IT ALL!" He screamed so loud, there were echoes all around.
He then plunged his Divine Elemental into the pedestal, and turned it. The holograms began to rotate and they all stopped with two Keyblade silhouettes popped up on all ends.
The bios rose up, and it was revealed as a badland environment with piles of rock and ruins everywhere.
Xedrek gotten on top of one of the pillars of rock and began twirling the Void Gear.
"Pehteh, nehbu, mehr-em seshem." He was chanting and repeating himself. As he chanted, bright portals opened up above the arena. Everyone watched as more and more opened up above them.
After several portals opened, Xedrek chuckled a bit before plunging his Keyblade to the ground. Just then, many different shapes of Keyblades emerged and impacted onto the ground all around the bios.
Back up in the stands with the other Keyblade wielders, they were surprised by that.
"Huh…I didn't know we could do that." Terra said.
"There's only one person that is capable of doing that. Keyblade Master Zachuria Bellaminus." Aqua said.
Cue One Winged Angel-Advent Children
"Behold a replica of the Keyblade Graveyard. Generations ago, a peaceful world was shined down by the heart of all worlds itself, the great Kingdom Hearts. When the inhabitants of that world began to grieve for this power, the darkness was created. Warriors created the Keyblades you see all around you and a great Keyblade War raged! The results caused Kingdom Heart's sacred defender, and the original one, the X-Blade to be shattered into twenty pieces: seven of light and thirteen darkness, and Kingdom Hearts was lost to the far reaches of darkness…..until recent actions." Xedrek explained.
(Cue electric guitar)
"Impressive!" Ash said with excitement. He then turned towards Cinder. "I think this is a great environment to determine the outcome, wouldn't you say?" He asked her.
"Yes. I think this will be a great location to mark your true defeat." Cinder said while creating a pair of glass swords.
"Well then…I cannot wait to see how you fair today. I will be showing no mercy today." Ash said.
"Ready!" Port yelled. Cinder struck a pose while Xedrek disappeared onto his usual spot. "Get set!" Port yelled again. Ash activated his Keyblade Pauldron and his armor had appeared. He then ripped his cape off and threw it aside. "BEGIN!" Port shouted.
Ash and Cinder charged forward and their weapons clashed. Cinder's flame grew stronger as she was using the powers.
"GET HER ASH….huh?" Yang was screaming at first until she saw the Colosseum getting darker. Everyone looked up as dark clouds began to form above them and it began to swirl.
As Ash also took noticed, Cinder used that to her advantage and got the upper hand quickly. She began attacking him with her glass swords. The armor reduced the damaged, but it still hurt him.
Meanwhile, Amber held her heart and just looked upwards towards the swirling clouds.
From other parts of the world, April, Azalea and Aurora was also looking upwards towards the sky while also holding their hearts.
"It has begun." They all said in unison.
Back with Ash and Cinder, they were now striking at each other all over the place. Ash promised himself that he wouldn't hold back, and he was not going to break that promise. To them, they seemed to be on par with each other from time to time.
Just then, Cinder began to fire off fire crystals at him. He then twirled Divine Elemental and blocked them well. As he did that, Cinder shot towards him and their swords clashed once again, this time in a lock.
"I have to admit Ash, I'm impressed. Too bad you'll face a humiliating defeat." Cinder said with a seductive smile.
"Not if I cut loose. I've been holding back from the start, but no more." Ash retaliated by throwing her off and sent her into a pillar of rock.
Cinder rose back up and began to levitate into the air. She then began to fire off fire balls at him.
"BLIZZAGA!" Ash shouted while aiming his Keyblades at her. Large chunks of ice fired out of them and blocked the fire balls. "Come on! Is that all you've got? You do not impress me!" Ash yelled.
"Fine then!" Cinder yelled back while flying towards him and fired a bolt of lightning point blank at his chest. Ash grunted as he was sent flying into another rock pillar.
She then smirked and then fired barrages of fire crystals at Ash. He gasped and ducked. Cinder continued her attack, until she got some distance away from it and Ash.
Just then, Ash heard the sound of rock breaking from behind. He looked and saw it coming down on top of him.
"WHOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Ash screamed as his eyes began to glow bright white. He then shielded himself as the rocks collapsed onto him, burying him alive.
Back at the stands, many gasped of what happened.
"NO ASH!" Velvet screamed with fright.
"This can't be…" Amber said.
Back with Cinder, she was chuckling a bit from the result.
"All too easy. Now look at who's the most disappointment here toda-wait a minute. This isn't right, I should've won!" Cinder yelled with shock as Ash's aura barely lost any aura on the screens.
Just then, the ruble began to shake and small lights began to shoot out of it. Cinder took a few steps back and her eyes widen as the rocks exploded and Ash screamed while emerging out of it.
Ash was now in his original clothing from the day he started, minus his hat. His eyes glowed white and he was only wielding Divine Elemental. His armor was gone and his pauldron was gone as well.
"Wait a minute, why did he ditch his armor? And I don't recall him wearing that." Aqua said while she and the others were confused.
"WAIT!" Sora shouted. "I know what that is. He's using…"

Cue guitar break
Ash struck a pose and readied to strike. Cinder just chuckled from his new appearance.
"Really? You ditched your armor and made yourself more vulnerable? Fine with me. Let's ju-UGH!" Cinder grunted loudly as Ash shot towards her at blazing speed and slammed his fist into her stomach.
"Careful Cinder. You left yourself wide open there." Ash growled a bit as Cinder coughed a bit of blood. Cinder then fired another ball of fire at Ash, and sent him flying backwards a bit.
Ash began striking at her with fast speed. Cinder was able to keep up with him with her powers. It was now getting more heated in the battlefield. Ash's strikes were now more powerful as his new form gave him new abilities.
After a while, Ash had gotten behind a few lifeless Keyblades to catch his breath. However, Cinder caught up with him and continued to attack him.
"I am done. It's time that we finally end this." Cinder said before channeling her powers to rocks and Keyblades around. She was using her powers to control their movements and hurled them at Ash. She also created a glass bow and arrow and fired a few arrows at him.
Ash was trying to dodge them, but many of them came into contact with him. He was getting scratches, a few open wounds, and his aura began to fall. He then used his Shotlock Command and charged up a new spell.
"GIGA IMPACT FIRE!" Ash shouted. Over a dozen small balls of energy shot out of his Keyblade and destroyed many rocks and arrows, and repelled the Keyblades being hurled at him.
Cinder used this to her advantage and kicked him hard into the air. She levitated upwards and began jabbing him with her glass swords to the point when she was practically impaling him. Ash grunted as she was doing it. She then kicked him back to the ground.
As he was being sent to the ground, he quickly opened a portal and dove into it. Another portal opened up and Ash shot outwards and rolled on the ground. He groaned as he slowly got up as blood was dripping out of his wounds. The pain was intense, and he was using Divine Elemental to keep him from fallen over.
"The time has come Ash. Time for you to fail for the last time." Cinder said before creating a glass great sword and dove at Ash.
Ash shut his eyes tight and began to shake.
"HELP ME!" Ash shouted as he gripped his heart.
He then felt as if his heart, blood veins, eyes and mind began to react as the power sources began to be channeled within him.
Cinder was about to deal a final blow to him until Ash quickly shot Divine Elemental above his head and blocked the attack. The result sent a shock wave all around the arena.
Music paused
Many people slowly stood up from the result. All of the love group, Delia and the other Keyblade wielders did the same. Everyone was shocked to the point of traumatized of seeing the Keyblade Guardian in this state.
"Ash…no." Blake whimpered.
"This can't be real. It's all over." Coco said as tears formed in her eyes.
Back on the battlefield, Cinder snickered.
"Hahahaha. Got one other trick up your sleeve? I'll make this qui-huh?" Cinder asked as she saw golden sparks shoot out of him.
Ash growled and grunted as it was happening. His body was slowly jerking around as it happened. He then began to feel his control of these powers slipping from him until…
Music resumes, building up to the ending.
"HeeeeeEEAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" Ash was screaming while the power consumed him.
His body exploded as the X-Blades power erupted from him and he threw Cinder into the air. The stadium cheered as he was back on the offense. His eyes were glowing bright gold and full of anger.
"FEEL MY WRATH!" Ash screamed as he jumped up and activated his Shotlock Command once again. His body was now channeling electricity. "EAT THIS!" He growled as he moved at lightning speed and struck at Cinder. Cinder grunted and then screamed in pain as Ash was attacking her with the Lightning Ray attack.
As Ash finished the attack, he landed onto the ground and Cinder was falling above him. He then dismissed Divine Elemental and screamed as he channeled his aura into an aura sphere. As Cinder was about to hit the ground, he plunged the sphere into her torso. The ball exploded and sent her flying into a wall and onto the ground off the battlefield.
Song ends
"WINNER AND RING OUT! ASH KETCHUM!" Oobleck shouted. The stadium exploded in cheers as the clouds were vanishing and the sun shined down on Ash, whose aura slowly faded from him.
He then roared into the sky as his body began to glow. His Drive Form deactivated and he gasped as it happened as his dark coat and his Keyblade Pauldron returned. He then fell onto the ground and was breathing heavily to the point of hyperventilating. He went beyond his limit in that battle and his aura plummeted.
As the biomes and the lifeless Keyblades disappeared, every competitor, Hunter, his love ones and Keyblade wielders stormed onto the field to get to Ash.
"ASH! YOU DID IT!" Ruby screamed as she flipped him over and held him.
"AAHH! Body cramped! Can't breathe!" Ash yelled in pain. Ruby quickly let go of him in shock.
"Sorry!" Ruby yelled.
"But on a brighter note….I really need to use the bathroom." Ash said while chuckling.
"Hang tight Ash. I got your medicine." Terra said while kneeling down to him and pulled out an Elixir. He then pressed it onto his chest and he felt his strength and stamina return to him. His wounds were healed and the bleeding stopped. "How's that?" He asked.
"Like a million times better. Thanks Terra." Ash said as he slowly got up.
"Ash!" Delia yelled as she got through the crowd and hugged him.
"Mom!" Ash chuckled and held her. Soon enough, everyone hugged him.
As everyone had their fair share, Ash then turned towards a dying Cinder. He slowly approached her and looked down at her. He closed his eyes and summoned Oathkeeper.
"Ash? What are you doing?" Glynda asked.
Ash didn't answer her immediately as he came to a hard decision.
"Dammit." He whispered and aimed at Cinder. "CURAGA!" Ash shouted as he fired off the healing spell at her and prevented her from dying, causing everyone to gasp at what he did.
"WWWHHHHAAAAAA!?" Blake shouted.
With his victory today against Cinder Fall, the Vytal Tournament has come to a close. But, to everyone's surprise, Ash decided to heal her after the match. What reason would this be, and how will Salem react to knowing that Cinder had lost? Find out more as the true battle will commence next time as the story continues.
So after finally completing Kingdom Hearts 3 for the first time a week and a half ago, I have to ask….DID I JUST UNINTENTIONALLY PREDICTED THE FUTURE!? When the Nobodies rescued Hayner and Pence from Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and he was the ruler of the Heartless, my mind was blow and had shut down from that cut scene. I guess you can argue that Vexen technically was the one that vended them off and saved Ansem the Wise and the others due to him being 'benched.' But still…that's about as good as I can confirm it. Next time…well if you're a fan of the series, you'll know what's next. TheD-Rock900 is signing off, see you guys next time.
