Clouded Memories: A Fic Based On Theory
---------------------------------------
S.S.: Ok, due to some review confusion, this IS entirely based on Kingdom Hearts, and I just want Cloud to have the gunblade. Lol, its my fic, my choice. (Just kidding, I do like to be right, but hey, humor...?) And, well, in this, Cloud isn't a clone, and he DOES have the gunblade, and a father. And yes, I do know about Final Fantasy.
Sephiroth: Yeah, right. Then you'd know that Tidus doesn't -
S.S.: Usually hold a stick. Yeah, yeah, I already KNEW that.
Cloud: And you wouldn't make me have a father.
S.S.: It IS my fic. You MUST OBEY!
Sephiroth: Like that's gonna work.
S.S.: Obey me. Run 1 million laps.
Sephiroth: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *starts running*
Cloud: You are SO mean.
S.S.: Naw, you guys just don't wanna listen.
Cloud: Wah? Did you say something, S.S.?
S.S.: Sigh...

Chapter 1: You'll Find Your Light Too
I've battled enough. Why am I doing this? I stepped out once again, into the arena, facing yet another heartless that I would bring down in a second.
"It's like this Cloud. You battle the heartless to get to the kid." The voice echoed in my head. I shook it out. I'd never heard of Hades in someone's head. When had he picked up this power?
"I can hear you!" Hades announced. "I'm inside your head. I will torment you until you win... or lose."
I shrugged. So Hades was inside my head. It didn't make any difference. I had the power to IGNORE. I chuckled and raised my weapon. The heartless crouched into a ready stance and disappeared into the ground.
I jumped and glided. The heartless, confused, popped out from hiding and looked around the arena. I landed behind him and thrust my weapon into his chest. He disappeared in a swirl of black and then reappeared. Obviously that wasn't enough. His attenae wiggled and his head flew all over the place, looking for a good escape. Once again, he disappeared. The ground turned black and shadowy where he was. I had a good idea.
I landed and stomped down on the floor, jumping extra hard where the shadow was. The shadow paused for a moment, and I took my time to aim my weapon right at the ground where it was. The gunblade struck the shadow and the heartless appeared, fell down, and was finally gone.
"Great kid. I few more heartless and then, the kid." Hades started laughing in my head. I ignored him and gulped down a potion. I could see four leafed clovers all around my body. When they cleared, I felt fresh and new again.
Phil came up to me and laughed in my face. "I never knew anyone who need two hits to finish off THAT kind of heartless."
"Heartless aren't laughing matters." I smirked. "You think you could do any better?"
"I know for a fact that the kid can," Phil stuck his thumb over his shoulder, and an imaginary line led it right to Sora. "and that Keyblade isn't no joke."
"You need some grammer lessons." I chuckled. "Really, I mean it."
Phil glared at me and pushed me back into the arena. There were a few heartless this time. Large Bodys, a few similar to the one I had just beat, and some Power Wilds.
"Oooh. A challenge, huh, big guy?" Hades said. I ignored him again, and inspected the heartless. "How DARE you ignore me."
This time, I heard another voice in my head. A woman's voice. One with a creepy, dark, luster to it. "Beware the darkness in your heart..." I blinked. Who's voice was this? Why was it telling me this? Or was she merely just talking to Hades? I got my answer when Hades answered, "What do you know?" The voice replied, "You choose the good answer."
I could just picture Hades, grabbing at his fiery hair, annoyed with the trick this woman had played on him.
"You get ready for battling, punk." Hades growled. Heat lashed at the inside of my head. I wanted to scream, for the heat was so intence, I thought it would surely melt my head off. "It's all inside your head. Get it?"
I growled. My rage started me off. I ran, my gunblade, an exact replica of Leon's, slicing through the heartless. My own heart pounded, feeling as if it would pound out of my chest if I didn't calm down. Hades... He was driving me to the point of insanity. I could only hope the Sora would be next, or close to next.
However, it was Reverse Armor. I didn't think that Reverse Armor could be in this tournament. This was merely the Phil Cup. It didn't matter. I would take it down.
I ran head-on into the armor. My gunblade (the exact replica!) clashed against the metal. There had to be another way to go about doing this. //A weak spot...\\
"Good idea, kid. I would tell you where it would be, but this is for me to know, and you to find out."
I already knew where the weak spot was. The head, where the armor stopped, and the feet. The hands wouldn't be a problem, because I could just use magic to PPOOOFFF them away. I grinned. I leaped on top of the torso, and then onto the head. I started hacking away, hit after hit. In my minds eye, I could see the little bar of health going down. Reaching the green, and then hitting nothing. The head, upon being destroyed, disappeared, and I fell down onto the torso. The hands were trying to get at me, but I was too high up for their reach. I laughed. I started hacking away at the torso, until it too was gone. I fell to the floor and jumped on the feet. First, I cut off the toes. Then I cut off the heels. Then, when only a sliver was left of the feet, I rose my gunblade and... The hands grabbed it and lifted me up in the air, my feet dangling down. Great. Stuck.
But then it hit me. I sent a jolt of electricity through my exact replica of Leon's gunblade (oh, how I love it) and the hands fell to the floor, twitching. The jolt of electricity was still on the hands when it was gone. This left only the feet. As I was doing, I lifted my gunblade, and whacked the feet away. I had won this. Now I just needed to beat Sora, and I would be the winner.
Sora stepped out into the arena, staring at me wide eyed. I winked at him, and saw this duck and dog step out. This was going to be easy, even though it wasn't an even affair.
The kid stood there, looking at me. I ran at the kid with my gunblade. He just dodged rolled away. If he wanted to dance, we would tango. The duck came from behind and blasted a couple shots of Fira at me. I grimaced, and turned around. Now, the kid launched a few blizzaras at me. It should be illegal to have two people that have magic on a team.
"All you have to do is beat the kid. The rules say, if there is a leader, and you beat him, the whole team is down. Just focus on the kid, alright?"
This time I didn't ignore Hades. I took his advice. I ran at the kid, slashing and hacked and hacking some more. Then I did my key signiture move.
"Farewell." I said, and I flew through the air, hacking at the kids stomach, focusing on him. The kid fell to the floor, limp, blood coming from his cut lip. I felt sorry for him, but I had beaten him. It was a tournament after all.
Sora was transported out of the arena. I had won the tournament, as well as my power.
"Hahahaha. You're purpose is done. You will get your power if you can tame this dog. CERBERUS! ARISE!" Hades voice grew faint and lifted from my head altogether. The dog. It was big. It had THREE HEADs.
I stood frozen, eyes locked on the dog, and then the escape. I made a run for it. But the dog got me...
I blanked out. All I was able to see was Hercules and the kid.
++++
When I woke up, I was lying on the floor. Hercules was standing over me, looking me over and checking my breathing and heartbeat.
"Hello," I said, cheerful like. "How are you today?"
Hercules jumped, and realizing I was up, he sighed.
"Good, you're ok." Hercules said. He threw me a potion and I gulped it down gratefully. We said our good-byes and I headed out.
I sat down on near the Collesium exit and wondered to myself why Hades had summoned up the three headed dog. Hadn't I served him? Didn't I beat Sora? That was the last time I trusted anyone from the underworld...
I heard snarling coming from the arena, and then loud whimpering. Black particals scattered throughout the sky and disappeared. A content looking Sora walked out of the Collesium with his two friends, grinning and holding up a piece of paper.
"Heroes..." he was murmuring. I laughed inside myself, at his antics upon getting his Junior Hero liscence. Then I went back to thinking.
I had fainted. Fainted because the dog had bit me, had me in its mouth. I was in that mouth because I was willing to work for the untrustworthy Hades, so I could have the ultimate power. That power would most likely be from darkness, but I didn't care. I went through with it all. I scowled at myself. I was saved by Hercules, and Hercules was saved by... Sora!
"Cloud?" I glanced up. I saw Sora, standing over me, his shadow blocking the sun.
"Light..." I gasped. I grabbed at the air, wishing for the light to come back. What did this mean? Was I drifting far from the good of light?
"Cloud! I'm so glad to see you." Sora gushed. He started talking to me, about different things.
But the last thing he said, which is stuck in my head was, "Someday, you'll find your light too."
-----------------------------------------------
S.S.: YAY! I thought this went over pretty well.
Cloud: YAY! I BEAT SORA!
Sephiroth: As I remain not in this fic...
S.S.: Aw, Sephy. Don't worry. You're coming soon.
