Me: Okay, everyone, I have good news and I have bad news.

Riku: Bad news first.

Me: Due to circumstances beyond my control, I won't be able to type starting this Wednesday, and it is currently Monday. I may not finish on time and may leave you guys on a cliffhanger for a VERY long time.

Readers: (groan)

Digitaldreamer: Yes! No more work for m- I mean, that's terrible!

Me: Now the good news.

Sora: You just saved a ton of money on your car insurance by switching to Geico?

Me: No.

Kairi: Then what else could be better?

Digitaldreamer: (whacks characters over head) Stop with the commericals!

Me: First off, I don't HAVE a car. Second....

All: (holds breath)

Me: ...I found a nickel! (holds up shiny new nickel)

All: (anime fall)

Me: (happy dance) Well, enjoy chapter 16!

The Field

"Round two."

"What do we do, we're out numbered!" Hades hissed in Malifecent's ears.

"I noticed" she hissed back, eyes narrowing. "But they are young, they cannot possibly compare to our power."

"We can hear everything you're saying, there's no need to whisper!" Kairi called.

Malificent smirked. "It's time to put you all in your place." It was then that she realized somebody wasn't there. "What..."

"Surprise!" a voice called from above them. Their heads darted up to see Sora dive bombing from the sky, streaking like a jet towards the ground. Malifecent raised her wand to shoot a spell at him, but it was too late as Sora's wing rammed into her side, causing her to drop he mystic staff.

"Aarrgh!" she growled as she dived for it, but Riku was already there.

"Looking for this?'' he asked, holding it up. As Malifecent started towards him, Riku yelled, "Sora, ca-" He was cut off as Hades sent a fire blast into his side. The wand flipped into the air and Malifecent caught its handle, the tip glowing green.

Fuming, Sora held up his key blade and yelled "Firaga!" Sora was pretty pissed off at the moment, using his strength in the spell and hoping to kill off the leader for good this time. But she just summoned a shield and Sora's spell bounced right off it and into Oogie Boogie.

"AHHH!!!" the Halloween creation yelled as the insects inside of him started to hiss in pain, and Boogie erupt into flames.

"One down, five to go," Fire exclaimed, raising her purple crystal sword.

Crystal and Fire leapt forward to take Ursula, Cloud and Leon went to Jafar, Goofy and Donald went to attack Hook, Yuffie and Kairi ran to take on Hades, King Mickey fought the heartless that were starting to pop out of the ground. Riku and Sora were in charge of Malifecent.

"Is that the best you can do, girls?" Ursula asked as she easily blocked more spells sent by Fire and Crystal. "Honestly, you're wasting my time."

Growling, Crystal charged at the sea witch recklessly. "Crystal, don't!" Fire called. But it was too late. Ursula smirked as she sent lightning head-first into the angel, making a hard contact.

Crystal screamed in surprise at the upcoming blast and frantically tried to cast an aero spell, but the blast hit her before she had the chance. Crystal hit the ground hard, sword tumbling out of her grasp.

"Are you okay?" Fire asked, rushing up to her fallen friend. She grasped her shoulders and shook her, but nothing happened; Crystal's head just rolled helplessly to the side. The attack would not have had such an effect if Crystal's sword hadn't acted as a giant lightning rod and the two forces coming together quickly.

"Crystal, this isn't funny! Wake up!" Fire swirled her staff around to cast a spell, but hit the ground as Ursula's Trident crunched down on the side of her head. She hit the ground, blood pouring from a thick gash on the side of her head.

Smirking, Ursula said, "Pathetic. Could have given me a bit more of a challenge." And she walked away to help her partners.

Goofy and Donald weren't having such an easy time either. Goofy rammed his shield into the pirate, but Hook just hooked his hook (Me: I said 'hook' too many times XD) on the side of the shield and pulled down, causing the shield to flip over along with Goofy who splattered down into the mud.

Donald sent water and fire spells at the fiend, but the magic didn't have much effect since Jafar had taken the liberty of putting a defense charm around him. "My turn," he said. He raised his hand to summon heartless but Riku had appeared behind them and he rammed his wingblade into Hook's heart; well, where his heart should have been. Hook screamed in pain and burst into clouds of black smoke. He then returned to his fight with Malificent.

Donald rushed over to Goofy to discover that his comrade had been knocked off. Shaking his head, Donald decided to reserve his remaining magic; besides, Goofy did more damage to himself awake then asleep. Donald ran off to help his King. You know, the mouse one. (Digitaldreamer: And here we view an awkward, obvious attempt to get out of having to write a character.)

Sora and Riku were trying their best to kill off Malificent, but were finding it rather difficult.

"Blizzaga!" Sora shouted, his Keyblade pointing to Malificent. Malificent defended herself with a fire spell which went whirling right through Sora's attack and into the young King.

Sora grunted in pain as, once again, flames seared at his skin. He was getting fed up with it. As Riku sent a chain combo at the witch, Sora glanced around.

From what he could see, both Fire and Crystal were down along with Goofy and Leon .... there was another that he couldn't quite make out. Then he saw something that shocked him just as much as everything else that night; orange beams erupted from the ground, capturing the remaining villains: Malifecent, Jafar, Ursula and Hades.

Sora watched in awe as they tried to get out until he heard King Mickey yell, "OVER HERE! Bring everyone with you!"

Riku and Sora exchanged worried glances as they rushed over, stopping by Fire and Crystal on the way. Sora lifted Crystal up and Riku did the same with Fire. They proceeded over to the rest where Leon and Goofy already lay. One other person was unconscious, scraped and bruised, with a long gash across her stomach. After a moment of scrutinizing, she was recognized…

"Kairi!" Sora cried. He knelt down beside the fallen princess of heart, tears forming in his eyes.

"She got hit in the head with a fire slash," Yuffie said sadly. "We haven't been able to wake her up..."

"She can't be..... She can't be...." Sora went silent.

In the distance they heard that furious screams of their foes as they struggled against their containment.

"What kind of spell was that?" Donald asked.

"A containment spell," King Mickey said shortly. "It will hold them but not for long. They're going to break out any time now. What we need is a plan. Sora, what do you think?"

Everyone turned to look at the teenager and saw that his face was turned down, head turning slightly as he looked at the fallen forms of his friends.

"They can't do this...." Sora growled. They had no right to hurt them... they're innocent, and they're going to pay. I can't take any more pain. It all ends.... TODAY. They say I'm some sort of king, that I'm something special. Well, if I am, now's a good time to see if they're right...

"Sora?" Riku asked, looking at his best friend.

I can do this...

"Sora, are you alright?" Yuffie asked cautiously.

They can never win. It's time I showed them that....

Sora stood up so quickly everyone started. They watched his face, bangs hiding his eyes. Then, below the place his eyes were began to glow. Sora looked up and they saw that his blue eyes had turned into bright yellow orbs, staring with a set line on his face.

"What the hell...." Cloud murmured.

"Oh boy...." King Mickey said, stepping back. "I would stand back if I were you guys...."

Then, the ground began to quake and wind erupted from underneath Sora's feet, his body glowing in a multi-colored aura. Then, he opened his mouth and screamed, energy bursting from his skin.... his heart....

"W-what's happening?" Yuffie stammered.

"You know that power inside of Sora I told you all about?" King Mickey asked nervously, taking a few steps backward. "Well, combined with the power of the Keyblade.... umm, it's back."

By now, the quakes in the earth had reached where the villains were captured and ruptured the bars, causing them to crack and crumble in a shower of sparks. They stared wide-eyed at the boy who had stopped yelling in rage and saw the ground literally ripple, waves of different colors spreading from his body. They watched as he slowly walked forward, glowing Keyblade in hand.

Malificent stepped forward, eyes narrowing as she watched the oncoming figure. For once, she had no idea what was going on. So, with a wave of her staff, she sent another painful curse at Sora. But the boy just waved his hand and the curse simply deflected itself, fused with Sora's own magic, at Ursula. She screeched in pain before bursting into black water, the trident clattering to the ground.

The other villains gasped and stepped slowly backwards. Except for Hades, that is.

"What the hell is this, a circus act?" he snapped. "Let's get going!" He summoned a large fire ball into his hand and threw it in Sora's direction.

Once again, the glowing wonder held up his hand and caught the ball in his hand. He closed his fist and the fire dissolved into ash. Now it was Sora's turn. In a single swift movement, he whipped up his blade and ran right at
them and swung.He first gto Hades, slashing him cleanly through the stomach, paying no attention as the God of the Underworld screamed and vanished.

Sora then cut the head clean off of Jafar's staff. Jafar gasped, and dropped his weapon. His hands glowed red and he attempted to slash Sora with his bare hands, but Sora brought up his blade and cut Jafar's arms off.

There was only but one blinding moment of pain for the sorcerer as Sora slammed his blade through Jafar's chest. Jafar screamed in pain and blew up in blue emerald flames.

Slowly, Sora turned around on the spot to stare at the two that were remaining.

What the fuck? Riku thought frantically. It's like Sora's a completely different person! Damn, he destroyed those guys with one blow!

Almost as if he were reading Riku's mind, King Mickey said "Don't you worry, Riku, Sora's fine. He'll be okay once this is over."

"But where'd all this power some from?" Cloud exclaimed.

"From inside of him," King Mickey replied. "The power of the Keyblade and King is being combined. But what I don't get is how there is this much power. He must be getting it from another source, I just can't figure out where."

Sora smirked as he saw the petrified look on the face of Malificent. He leapt forward and swung his Keyblade down only to be blocked by a glowing staff.

"You won't be beating me easily, boy," she hissed. Her staff glowed blood red and started to smoke as she sent a bolt of red shocks at Sora. He blocked with his Keyblade and spread out his wings that had also changed to glowing rainbow colors that flooded and swirled around, forever changing positions. With a cry he shot up a few yards, then dropped and brought it down on Mailifecent's head.

Once again, she blocked easily with her staff. This time when she blocked, Sora's Keyblade glowed yellow and sent electricity surging through the weapon and into Malificent's staff, making it impossible to hold.

She gasped in surprise as she dropped it. She stepped forward to pick it up but Sora's brought his foot over it, snapping it clean in half.

Silvery shadows moaned quietly as they were released from the staff, from where Sora was not sure. The wind came by and blew them away.

Sora stumbled backwards. Sora quickly blew white magic at her. She screamed in pain. But the blast would not be painful to anybody..... anybody with a heart. And unfortunately for Malifecent, she had none.

Aerith had healed the others by now, although they were a bit shaky and would get treatment at the palace. They edged closer to the fighting duo and watched as Malificent slammed and skidded onto the ground, glaring at Sora as he held his Keyblade up to her face.

"You know what this means," she hissed, glowering at him through a mask of blood. "You will never be free again; you'll be King of all the worlds, tied down at a life set out for you."

"No he won't!" Kairi cried, knees shaking slightly. "As long as he still has his friends, he won't ever be tied down."

"He'll be free as long as he had us," Riku declared.

Malificent glowered at Sora. "You can not destroy me boy, there will always be evil to take you down! It is your fate."

The ground began to quake again as Sora glowed brighter still. "I've accepted my fate....." Lightning bolts erupted from the ground and into the sky. With a final roar, he yelled, "... IT'S TIME YOU ACCEPT YOURS!" His Keyblade grew a white arrow on the end. "OBLIVIRATE!" A jet of white light was sent searing into her.

Malificent screamed in pain, the last noise ever to be made by her again as she disappeared in a flash of purple light.

After the Fight Scene That Took Way Too Long To Type

Sora breathed in deeply and let out, the excess power going with his breath. He sank to his knees, Keyblade finally falling out of his hands.

"Sora!" his friends called as they rushed to his side.

Sora felt a bit dizzy as the last of his strength dissolved away. I did it.... was all he could think of. But he was too tired to think anymore, too drained to worry about what Malificent said... about how there was still evil lurking out there.... waiting for him...whispering threats in his ear...

The Keyblade Master fell to the ground, unconscious.

A Cliff

The hooded man watched as a group of people lifted the young man up and back to the castle, seeing that he was unconscious. (Look! It's Darth Vador!)

His eyes narrowed; he knew that Malificent and the rest would fail him, he just wanted to test the boy's strength; Sora had passed with flying colors.

"Soon, you shall see, Keybearer," the cloaked man hissed. "You shall be King, but on what side you shall be on...."

He walked slowly down the gravel path, disappearing slowly. But not without the final words, "... that is up to the Madji."
