Everyone continued to stare at Ash for what he had done. One of them in particular, Amber, was still trying to wrap her head around this.
"Ash!? What are you doing!?" She demanded.
Ash smiled and turned towards her.
"Purifying her." Ash said.
"With all due respects Ash, we cannot let her continue on with Salem's plans. She's too dangerous to be kept alive. Plus, I need those powers back." Amber reminded him.
"Trust me, I haven't forgotten. But, I may have a solution that'll work for all of us. Stick with me here. Remember when Ozma used his own Keyblade to free Salem from the curse of immortality last night?" He asked.
All of them nodded until Weiss immediately realized what he was going with.
"You're planning on releasing the darkness that Salem has control over her, and use the Keyblade to extract the Fall Maiden's powers from Cinder and have it return to Amber!" Weiss said while putting the pieces together.
"Exactly! Therefore, I don't have to take a life, and Cinder won't be that much of a threat any longer. It did wonders for Emerald some time ago, and I have a hunch that it'll do more for Cinder. It's a win-win. However, I'm going to need all of the Keyblade wielders to aide me on this one." Ash explained.
"I agree. Raven was once like Emerald, but worst. She was once a cold hearted bandit tribe leader to pretty much becoming one of the most caring mother/figures in Vale." Xedrek stated.
"Sounds like we got nothing to worry about then." Ash said before creating a portal. He dismissed Oathkeeper and put Cinder into a bridal carry. "All Keyblade wielders come on!" Ash yelled before he entered the portal. Soon enough, all of them entered the portal.
Just after the portal closed, alarms were going off.
"Attention citizens of Vale, the army is almost close to the boarder of Vacuo and heading in this direction. Evacuate immediately. All available Hunters, please aide all citizens and Pokémon that are unable to fight to the emergency transports at this time." Ironwood spoke from intercoms all over Vale.
Everyone broke off and quickly got everyone ready for the evacuation. Delia was more resistant as she refused to leave behind Ash, while Miette was kinda the same.
Back with the Keyblade wielders, they emerged at the location of the relic stone behind Agate Village. Ash laid Cinder on the ground and got back a few feet.
"Celebi!? Are you out there my old friend!?" Ash called out. After a little bit, Celebi emerged from the nearby forest and squealed with happiness from seeing Ash once again.
Celebi then looked down at Cinder and carefully examined her. It didn't take long to sense that massive darkness within her.
"Celebi, I know that this is a bit much from me to ask of you, but can you please purify this person? This person is cursed with darkness that is unnatural." Ash requested.
Celebi squeaked happily and began to swirl around her. Bright green energy began to fall onto Cinder. Suddenly, Cinder began to glow and the darkness shot out of her. It took on the form of a shadowy version of Salem. Celebi quickly retreated in fear.
Everyone had their Keyblades on standby.
"Ready. Together!" Ash yelled as they aimed them right at it. The shadow roared and went for Cinder.
"BEAM OF LIGHT! FIRE!" They shouted. The beams shot out of the Keyblades and came into contact with the shadow. It then screamed as the beams impaled it and shot right through it. It faded away from the attack.
"We did it! Now Cinder is free!" Emerald said.
Ash then approached Cinder once again, this time dismissing Oathkeeper.
"Okay, now for the tricky part." Ash whispered while aiming it at her chest. He slowly lowered it onto her and the crest entered her chest.
Cinder gasped a bit as Ash lifted it back up and a small ball of fire emerged from Cinder's body.
"Now, return to Amber!" Ash yelled while aiming his Keyblade at Amber. The ball of fire shot towards her and came into contact with her.
She gasped as it happened and knelt down. Suddenly, her head shot up and intense flames shot out of her eyes and her body began to glow bright. She hovered into the air a bit and the powers began to swirl around her.
Amber has finally recovered her long lost powers and has become the full Fall Maiden.
She touched back down and the powers ceased.
"Ash…THANK YOU!" Amber screamed and jumped onto him. She kissed him passionately. When they broke the kiss, they smiled.
"You're welcome." Ash whispered.
Suddenly, rosebuds, snowflakes and water began to swirl around them. Everyone looked at them with confusion, except for Ash and Amber. April, Aurora and Azalea emerged from their respective element.
"Sisters!" Amber yelled with excitement. The Elemental Maidens hugged her.
"Amber! You got them back! This is wonderful!" Azalea yelled.
Meanwhile earlier, Salem was looking out beyond the horizon at her domain. She was waiting for updates from Watts. He soon arrived.
"Your Highness, the army is complete and they are ready to invade Vale." Watts said.
"Excellent. Dispatch Hazel to rendezvous with Mercury and Adam. Our time is nigh." Salem said without even giving eye contact with him.
"At once." Watts said before he left. Just then at the time of when Salem's control of Cinder was released and then destroyed, Salem gasped and fell onto her knees while holding her chest. "My queen! Are you okay!?" Watts asked with concern.
"Don't touch me!" Salem yelled before shoving him back. She slowly got up and her anger grew exponentially. "Cinder, you have failed me for the last time." She growled as her eyes glowed red.
"Your Highness?" Watts asked once again this time maintaining his distance.
"New plan. Order them to begin the assault." Salem said. Watts did not hesitate and ran off. Salem looked beyond the horizon with anger. "Well as the old saying goes: you want something done right, you do it yourself." She whispered before channeling her powers.
She then screamed and fired it into the sky. A large shock wave of darkness exploded and began to spread at a very fast pace. She did this for about a minute until she ceased.
Back with Ash and the others, he immediately felt what happened to Salem and what she did just now.
"What's wrong Ash?" Ruby asked.
"It almost felt like…Salem was hurt. I think destroying that darkness inside Cinder injured her in some way. But shortly afterwards, I'm sensing…the cold." Ash answered.
"But…is it just me or does anyone else getting a little chilly?" Blake asked. All of them agreed as the temperature began to decrease.
Suddenly, the sky above them began to grow darker. They all saw that darkness was spreading above them.
"Oh no! We need to get back to Vale now!" Ash yelled before creating a portal and picked up Cinder. They all ran through it and it closed.
They emerged from another portal just outside Beacon where the sky was also being blanketed with darkness. Terra took Cinder to Beacon where Ash instructed him to take her to the healing pods at the Vault. His apprentices returned their gifts to Ash and he put them back on. Once Terra returned, the Keyblade Masters activated their Keyblade Armor and readied for the fight.
"Ash!" Ozma yelled as he ran towards them.
"Headmaster Ozma! What's going on?" Ash asked while taking his helmet off.
"It is just as I feared would happen. Queen Salem has finally unleashed her true potential to the world. The Black Queen is now at her fullest. It's just what the fairy tale story foretold, 'and the world will be plunged into an eternal night, a night of sadness….despair….and fear.'" Ozma explained.
"So how do we stop it?" Weiss asked. Ozma sighed and looked down.
"There is only one way, isn't there?" Xedrek asked.
"As of right now…yes. Queen Salem must be defeated. However, with all this negativity going around, it may be our darkest moment yet. The evacuation is still under way, and that army is on the move. We've hardly any time. To think, that it will all come down to this. And this was all my doing from that day when I betrayed Salem and took our kids to the grave." Ozma said in defeat and fell to his knees.
"You're not taking all the credit Ozma. I have a target on my back too." Xedrek said.
"EXCUSE ME! We have bigger problems right now. And besides, we've seen and dealt with worse than this, right guys?" Axel asked.
"Yeah! Let's go save this world!" Sora said with confidence.
As everyone gotten to the evacuation section, Ash took a quick detour to get to his Pokémon in the forest. He whistled for them and they quickly arrived.
"Alright everyone, the time has come. It's time to see if your training will pay off. I need all of you to provide protection and to help with anyone that is unable to fight to get them out of Vale. Pikachu, you're in charge to make sure that everyone plays their part right." Ash told him.
"Pikachu!" He yelled in agreement.
"Now let's save this world!" Ash yelled before putting his helmet back on. They all roared and Ash quickly returned Lapras. The rest scattered and was ready for the battle. "GRENINJA! I got a special proposition for you my friend." Ash said to his ninja combatant. Greninja returned to him and aided him.
They returned to the others and help aide the evacuations. Many of them were in a huge panic and were practically frozen from what was happening.
"ASH!" Delia shouted and quickly hugged him tight.
"Mother, you need to get out of here." Ash said while returning it.
"I am not leaving you. I've lost you once before, and I refuse to lose you a second time." Delia argued.
"This is something that I have to do. I am the guardian here for a reason. And besides, if you get involved in this, you are going to die. It's me they want, and they will not hesitate to kill you if you got in the way." Ash explained.
Suddenly, Miette jumped onto Ash and hugged him tight too.
"Ash! I don't like this! Come away with us, and we'll get you into hiding." She tried to insist.
"I'm sorry Miette, but you're lives are more important right now. I will come to you. Get to Kalos, and stay at your home. There is no other way." Ash said.
Miette took his helmet off and yanked him into a kiss with tears pouring out of her eyes. When they broke the kiss, her eyes were glossy and red.
"You better return to me Ash Ketchum, or I will scream." Miette hiccupped.
"I will. I promise you that." He said. Delia kissed his cheek and hugged him again. "Now both of you get out of here." He said.
Just then, Qrow showed up and took their wrists.
"Let's go! The army will be here any moment now!" Qrow yelled at them. Delia was trying to break free from his grip, while Miette didn't resist at all. Ash got his helmet back and gotten ready for the fight.
After about ten minutes, the last of the civilians were stored in the transports and they were away. Xedrek teleported onto of one of the buildings and chanted the same spell to summon the Keyblades for Ash and Cinder's match.
A massive portal opened up in the sky, and thousands of objects began to fly out in groups.
"Whoa! Are those Nobodies in the form of Gummi ships?" Sora asked.
Suddenly, a light was zigzagging above them, and screams could be heard. The light slammed onto the ground, and Mickey and a duck in wizard robes and held a wand and a humanoid dog wearing armor and held a shield.
"Gwarsh! I don't think we'll ever get use to that." The dog said as he held his head.
"Yeah, I don't think so either." The duck said while doing the same and his eyes were swirling out of dizziness.
"Donald! Goofy! You made it!" Sora yelled before embracing them.
"A-hyuck! You didn't think us three half pints would be separated from something this big, did ya?" Goofy asked.
"Thanks guys." Sora said.
"Now Master Sora, let's protect this world like in our last adventures together." Mickey suggested. Sora nodded and they were armed and ready.
Xedrek joined the others and looked towards the transports.
"They will provide protection for all of them until they were at a safe distance from the kingdom." Xedrek told them.
"Excellent! This takes care of the worst thing to worry about." Ash said.
Meanwhile, Manaphy was now struggling in Blake's arms.
"Mana! Mana Mana!" It was yelling.
"Manaphy, what's the matter with you!?" Blake asked. Manaphy turned towards her with a serious look.
"Manaphy go get help. Manaphy wants to help mama and papa!" Manaphy answered. Blake gasped at what it said.
"Of course. Manaphy is the Prince of the Sea. It can bring reinforcements here." Weiss stated.
"Of course! Alright Manaphy." Blake said before taking it to the docks. She was ready to throw it. "Make your mama and papa proud!" She yelled before giving Manaphy a great toss into the ocean. Manaphy swam off to get help.
After about a half hour went by, Ash and Xedrek sensed a massive force of darkness entering the area. Xedrek then saw a large, flying formation of Shadow Heartless coming towards them.
"Oh shit. INCOMING!" Xedrek shouted before firing off a powerful fire spell and the formation of Shadow Heartless called the Demon Tide was destroyed.
The ground shook as the Grimm, Heartless and the White Fang arrived and began to storm the kingdom. The war finally broke out and Vale turned into a battlefield. Many teams scattered into different groups and fended off the threat. To make things more even, they sent out their Pokémon to aide them.
"Ash!" Qrow yelled while running towards Ash. "Your mother is missing." He added.
"WHAT!? What is she thinking!?" Ash asked with anger.
"I don't know, but clearly she's more stubborn than you sometimes." Qrow said before shooting off Grimm that was heading their way.
Suddenly, the ground shook once again, this time it was more powerful.
"Oh no…not good." Qrow whispered.
"What's going on?" Ash asked.
"Remember when Max detonated that mountain at Mt. Glenn? Well…he just weakened the seal of the deadliest Grimm ever recorded." Qrow answered.
At Mt. Glenn, the mountain began to break apart and something was beginning to emerge. Just then, a massive Grimm shot out and roared into the sky. It flew towards Vale. When it arrived, everyone saw the monster that had arrived.
"Max did it…he released the Grimm Dragon." Glynda said nearby.
Nearby, Salem emerged from a portal and smiled as the dragon flew towards her and landed in front of her. She rubbed its head and welcomed it proudly. It then roared and flew off.
With the war spreading throughout Vale, Ash and his Pokémon scattered around to take out the enemies. When they saw the dragon, they all froze from the sight of it.
Meanwhile, Blake was waiting for Manaphy to return. She fended off many Grimm and Heartless with Panther's Claw.
"My darling!" Someone yelled out. Blake's heart sank and she slowly turned towards the voice. She gasped as the sight of Adam. "At long last, I've been waiting for this day." He said.
"Stay away from me Adam. Can't you see that they turned you into a monster, rather than being one of the greatest Huntsmen of our time?" She asked while readying her Keyblade as Adam continued to get closer to her.
"Let me answer that question with a question. Did you not realize that your betrayal caused me to be this way?" He asked while pulling out his sword.
"ADAM! This is why I left because of how we were getting the respects out of fear, and killing innocent lives! I refused to continue this. Plus, you're not the person that I fell for back then! You were so close to being my mate, but you blew it! All you did was killing off lives and continued to be Sienna Kahn's, and now Salem's puppet!" Blake yelled at him. Adam growled at her and aimed his sword at her.
"You did this to me. And besides, Kahn has gone too soft. Ever since I saw that, I took full advantage of that and brought in more to aide me in my fight for the position. And as for you, if I can't have you, then no one will!" Adam yelled before preparing to strike. Suddenly, he felt his wrist being latched onto. He saw that Terra transformed his Keyblade into a whip and held him tight. "UGH! LET ME GO!" He shouted at him while trying to pull his arm out.
Blake took this as an advantage and pursued him.
"Made you look!" Blake yelled before kicking him in the face and his mask was knocked off. "Thundaga!" Blake yelled while aiming her Keyblade at him.
A gigantic bolt of lightning shot down from above and struck him. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees. Blake then fled to get away from Adam.
Terra released him, but only to latch his Keyblade around his torso and threw him at a great distance. He fell to the ground and felt great pain. He slowly got up and held his chest.
"I WILL FIND YOU KITTY! I WILL FIND YOU!" Adam screamed at the top of his lungs. Shortly, many of his followers came to his aide. "Find Blake Belladonna, and bring her to me." He ordered them.
Meanwhile, Ozma was aiding other Hunters and Hunters in training against the Grimm and the Heartless. He had his Keyblade out and has been proving to be very powerful.
"Murderer!" A man growled nearby. Ozma, Teams JNPR, CFVY and AMRY saw a large man wearing mostly different kinds of green clothing walking towards them with anger.
"Hazel. I see that you're still holding that grudge, are you not? I did not kill your sister, for it was a freak accident." Ozma said while preparing to fight.
"You caused her death. I will kill you with every reincarnation you return to! Mark my words Ozpin! MARK MY WORDS!" The man named Hazel shouted before taking a couple of large lightning Dust crystals and implanted them into him.
He raged loudly and charged towards Ozma. The two got into a fight while the others aided Ozma in the fight. Despite how many tries to bring him down, he kept on fighting onward.
"It's like he's immune to pain. How can we bring down someone like him who can't even feel anything like that?" Team ARMY member Miranda Steel asked.
"My guess is that he is the true definition of sheer willpower." The final member of the team Rhonda Seeker said.
Hazel fired off a blast of electricity at Ozma, but Nora quickly intercepted it. Nora began to feel her semblance growing fast and made her even stronger.
"I…am….THOR!" Nora screamed and swung Magnhild so hard at Hazel, he was sent flying into a building. From that impact, the building came tumbling down on top of him.
Ozma went to the collapsed building where Hazel was seen in the ruble. Hazel slowly opened his eyes and glared at him.
"I know how you feel, a little too well. If I was in your shoes, I too would be very angry. I mourned her death, and I bet you that she wouldn't want you to do this." Ozma said.
"BAH! Enough of this!" Hazel shouted before getting back up and struck at him hard. It sent him towards the others. "I'LL BREAK EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!" He screamed and charged at them.
Ozma aimed his Keyblade at him and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry. Sleepga!" Ozma yelled. A purple light shot out of it and hit him in the face. Hazel fell to the ground and fell asleep. "Gretchen wouldn't want you to continue down this pathway. I know how much she meant to you, but she's in a better place now, away from the Grimm and the one who should really be blamed." Ozma said before walking away.
Salem was continuing to watch as the battle continued. She chuckled a few times while maintaining her distance. To her, it was live entertainment.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of someone running at her. She saw that it was Xedrek with Nightmare Realm out.
"I'll make this quick." Salem whispered before using her own magic at him. The two were on par with each other for a time until she teleported right in front of him with a hand to his chest.
"Uh oh…" Xedrek gasped before he got hit by a powerful pulse of dark magic. He was sent flying and rolled onto the ground. He slowly got up and faced the reader. "Well reader, this isn't going well. What should I do….Call in the Nobodies? You got it! Let's do it in a way you guys, the Earthlings, call it a montage, electronica style." He said before teleporting away.
He ended up on top of Beacon Academy. His eyes began to glow light and dark and he summoned his Void Gear. Both of his Keyblades began to swirl and revolve around him
Cue Superheroes/ Human After all/ Rock'n Roll. Link will be in the description on DA. Credit goes to Daft Punk, and the creator.
Xedrek began to clap his hand to the loud beat. Twilight was flashing along with the beat. Everyone was now looking towards where the sound and the light flashing were coming from.
"What is that?" Ash asked.
"I don't know, but this is my kinda beat." Yang said while slightly popping with the beat.
Back with Xedrek, he began to create a portal in front of Beacon Academy. The portal slowly gotten bigger and bigger and Xedrek was chanting and concentrated on the portal. The portal finally stopped growing and it was about half the size of Beacon.
"CHARGE!" He shouted.
(Human After All and Rock'n Roll)
Just then, the army of Nobodies came storming out of the portal. They were all heading for the capital.
Back with Ash, he sensed their presence, and they were coming fast. When the Nobodies arrived, they all saw many types of them. Some were slithering on the ground, flying in the air, and parkouring all over the place.
Xedrek returned to the battlefield and appeared on top of city hall. He was conducting with the music as his Nobodies were attacking the Heartless and the Grimm.
With Ironwood and his men, they noticed this and wondering if they were enemies. Ironwood tried getting in contact with Ash.
"Ash! What are these things?" Ironwood asked.
"It's okay General. They are the Nobodies, the ones that Xedrek was telling us about. The army has arrived and they'll aide us." Ash told him.
Meanwhile, Salem saw the army and her eyes widen.
"What the? Where did they come from?" She asked. When she saw the Nobodies were defeating her army, she began to fear the worse. "I guess it can't be helped. All of you! Focus on these things. White Fang, deal with Ash and his friends." Salem ordered. Her army began to attack their new targets.
(Human! Human! Human! Human!)
With the Xedrek, he was continuing to conduct with the music. Little did he know that the twins were joining him.
"GO, ALL OF YOU! PROTECT THE FAUNUS, HUMANS AND POKÉMON THAT ARE AGAINST THIS THREAT! DESTROY THE HEARTLESS AND THE GRIMM, AND CLAIM YOUR HEARTS!" Xedrek shouted at them.
"ALL HAIL ORGANIZATION XIII!" The Nobodies shouted and they pressed on with the attacks.
Back with Ash and the others, they were seeing the Nobodies going to town on the Heartless and the Grimm.
"Hey Ash, why am I hearing 'human' repeatedly? I'm kinda offended by this. Is that even possible to be offended by this?" Velvet asked.
"Well put it this way Velvet, the Faunus is the next generation of the human race. So in a way, no not really." Ash said before slicing off a few Heartless heads off.
"You know, when you put it that way, I love this." Velvet said before getting back to the fight with her team.
With the Sea Salt Trio, they all watched as the Nobodies aided them.
"I'm getting some serious déjà vu when they use to back us up when we were a part of the organization." Axel said while readying another strike with his Keyblade.
"I consider those to be our moments of weakness." Roxas said while he too readies for another strike with his two Keyblades.
"You can say that again love." Xion said.
With Terra, Ven and Aqua, they saw the Nobodies coming to their aide.
"Finally some backup." Ven said.
"Yeah." Terra and Aqua said.
With the Maidens, their magic along with the Nobodies greatly complement each other in terms of their powers.
Song ends
Back with Xedrek, he just stood there watching his army fight. Just then, he heard the sound of sobbing behind him.
"Hmm?" He wondered before turning around and he sees Militia standing there looking at him crying. Melanie held her gently trying to comfort her while also sad. "You've returned? Why?" He asked.
"We made a very big mistake. It was from when you told us what you were and why you couldn't 'feel' the feelings, but show it. We thought you were like the Heartless and the Grimm, but instead you are practically the opposite. And…we regret every-hic-thing we said and done to you." Militia cried and slowly losing control of her emotions.
"Plus, I would need to destroy my Heartless and figure out what it means to come to peace with myself. Once all that is done, I will have my answers. And besides, who could ever love an empty shell like me?" He asked while looking back at the fight.
"US!" The twins shouted and hugged him from the sides.
"What!?" He asked in shock. Melanie was now crying too.
"This time, we do this together. We will fight by your side and won't let go." Melanie cried in his chest.
"Melanie…Militia…" He whispered before smiling and accepted their embrace and returned them.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the distance and was heading their way. The twins broke the hug in shock when they heard the roar.
"What was that?" Militia asked.
"If I were a betting man, I'd say that would be a ferocious Heartless." He said.
A massive, purple colored, magenta spiked Heartless was heading towards them and killing off Nobodies along the way. The Dark Hide had arrived and roared at Xedrek and the twins. Xedrek prepares to strike while the twins got back.
With Ash and his Pokémon, they were holding their own quite well in the battle. Greninja placed a hand on his shoulder and nodded.
"Alight old friend. For old time sakes?" He asked. The two of them began to share their bond and Greninja began to transform while a torrent of water surrounded it.
Greninja began to glow and transformed into Ash-Greninja. When he emerged, it prepared twin kunai shaped knifes and made quick work with the Grimm around them. He was fast and hard to catch. He grabbed the Water Shuriken behind his back and threw it like a boomerang at the Heartless. The results sliced off their heads and their hearts were released.
Ash and Ash-Greninja were happy that they combined their bonds again after so long. Ash-Greninja may not have used this form in a long time, but he still got it. Plus, his training away from Ash kept him sharp and deadly than ever before.
Meanwhile back with Blake, she continued to be on the run from Adam. She made her way towards a building to hide at to catch her breath. She heard some noises coming nearby. Curiosity was getting to her as she readied her Keyblade and snuck up onto the sound.
She then turned a corner and prepared to strike, only to find Delia with an iron frying pan lunging at her in fright. Both their weapons collided, and they saw each other.
"Delia!? What are you doing here!? You shouldn't be here, but with everyone else!" Blake yelled at her.
"As I told you all, I am NOT leaving my son!" Delia yelled back at her.
"You don't understand! If the Grimm, Heartless, and/or the White Fang find you, you're dead." Blake said while quickly pulling out her scroll.
"What are you doing?" She asked the cat Faunus.
"I'm calling in for reinforcements." Blake said while dialing a number.
Ash's Pokedex was now going off, and he quickly answered it.
"Blake? What's going on? Kinda busy here." Ash said.
"I found your mother!" Blake said.
"WHAT!? Get her to General Ironwood if you can. I'll try to get to you." Ash told her. Blake nodded and hung up. "Mom…why are you still here?" He growled while calling in his other Pokémon. They began to fight their way to Blake and Delia's position.
Meanwhile, Salem was holding her own well against the Nobodies.
"These are starting to bore me. I guess now will be the time. DRAGON! COME FORTH!" Salem shouted with a raised hand.
The Grimm Dragon returned and landed by her. Salem rose up and landed on the snout of the dragon. Suddenly, she began to merge her lower half into the beast and channeled her powers into it.
The Grimm Dragon roared as it began to grow bigger and taller. Another pair of wings emerged from its body under the other pair of wings. Both pairs began to get sharper and more bone armor was formed. Its jaw gotten smaller and a few teeth retracted into its mouth. The remaining teeth have gotten sharper. As several more spikes and armor grew on its body, its claws on the hands and feet gotten sharper and stronger. The head lengthen and the bone armor grew out more spikes on the back. The armor behind Salem began to break and some flesh revealed itself. From there, two large orange eyes opened up and looked around.
It then roared so loud that it shook the ground around it. Everyone was now looking at the monster that had transformed. It was now the size of a building. Ash saw this and he immediately recognized that Grimm from the Illusion semblance May used on them the other day.
"God….help us." Ash whispered as the new Grimm monster roared once again.
If you want an idea of what it looks like now, think of it like a fusion of the Grimm Dragon and Metal Overlord in Sonic Heroes. It's now a Kaiju size monster.
Back with Xedrek, he was struggling to take on the Dark Hide. He was sent flying by a swing if its claws. He slowly got up and held his bleeding chest.
"Ngh….I guess it can't be helped. GO!" He shouted while sending out his team. "Get it!" He ordered them. All of his Pokémon charged forward and began to attack the Heartless.
Xedrek charged forward and dodged another attack. He then landed onto its arm. Suddenly, he felt a strange presence from within the Heartless. He heard a voice he hadn't heard before, yet it sounded familiar to him when he came into physical contact with it.
'Father! One day, I'll…set all of this…right.' The voice said.
His eyes widen from those words. It finally came to him, this was his Heartless.
"XEDREK!" The twins shouted at him as it was coming right at him.
He growled and aimed both of his Keyblades at it. He stopped it dead in its tracks with a time stopping spell. He then charged up his power and began to form a magical symbol underneath him.
"Take this! ZETTAFLARE!" He screamed. A powerful beam of intense fire shot out of them just as the time spell broke.
The beam hit it square in the chest and it roared in pain as it collided with it. The beam then shot out of its back. Xedrek then stop the spell and there was a massive hole in the chest, causing the Heartless to fall to the ground and die.
Xedrek grunted as he was glowing red a bit while maintaining control of his balance. His legs did give out and he used Nightmare Realm to be used as a support. He then saw the crystalized heart being sent towards the sky.
"My…heart." He whispered while the twins and his Pokémon came to his aide. They watched as it went higher and higher until it vanished. "That's it…now I know." He whispered again while still looking at the clouds above.
"Xedrek?" Melanie asked.
"I…" He was trying to say until the massive Grimm monster roared once again, gaining their attentions.
The Grimm began to fly and as it flapped its wings, dark sludge came out and landed on the ground. To everyone's shock and fear, many Grimm were coming out of them.
With the war raging on, and Salem getting the edge in this fight, the ultimate fate of the world lies in the hands of Ash and the others. How will things play out? Find out more as more of battle rages on and the story continues.
The main climax has finally arrived. I had to be reminded on how things went in canon, and I had to figure things how to add everything else into this, especially since Cinder is out and still unconscious, Amber has her powers returned to her, Torchwick is already dead, and Pyrrha is no longer a threat to Cinder. Also, someone said that Ash has a golden heart…..I like the sound of that. Well played there reviewer, well played. Anyway, the 2nd part of The War for Remnant will begin being written the day after this gets posted. Until then, TheD-Rock900 is signing off, see you next time.
