The One Winged Angel

By: Sephiroth-Safer

Ch. 1

The Find

He stood there staring at his latest victim. A Heartless, they were called Invisibles. This one had put up a good fight, but was still no match for the power of the Keyblade. As most Heartless did, it soon faded away into nothing. But wait, it left something behind! It was a stone. As he looked closer he could see a mist within the stone, howling like a strong wind. A Gale! His partners approached and looked into the orb with awe.

"This, this is it," Sora said shaking "I found a Gale!"

"Let me see that." Donald shouted as he reached and snatched the orb from Sora's hands.

"Hey!"

"Wow, that sure is one pretty stone." Goofy said, and as he did they both turned towards him and stared. "Well, it is."

"Give me that," Sora said as he took the Gale back, "this is the last one I have to get, now all we need to do is take it back to Traverse Town."

"We've come too far to turn back now," Donald protested "besides every second we waste we could be getting closer to finding King Mickey and stopping the Heartless."

"Fine, stay. Goofy and I will go without you."turns and starts to leave

"No! Wait for me!" Donald shouted.

Ch. 2

Ultima Weapon

'Wow,' Sora thought, 'all that work for this.'

He held in his hand a keychain for the Keyblade. The Moogles said it was called Ultima Weapon. Compared to some of the other keychains he had this one looked pathetic. Oh well, he slipped off his current keychain. It was called Oblivion. Oblivion looked evil and is hard to believe that the savior of the universe would use something like this. The keyblade turned back to its original form, the Kingdom Key. He began to slip on Ultima Weapon when he noticed it glowed with a mysterious power that seemed to vibrate from it.

'That's unusual.' Sora thought.

He slipped it on. It began to change. It grew two feet longer, turned to a gold that shimmered and it radiated with a beautiful light. This truly is Ultima Weapon. He was hit by so many thought, but two were constantly coming back up. 'I'm going to be unstoppable.' and 'Test it on something.' Next stop, Olympus Coliseum.

Ch. 3

The Black Caped Man

As he walked through the doors he noticed Hercules reading the scores of the latest fights. Sure enough, Phil was inside bossing people around, telling them things like "You call yourself a hero" and "No wanna-be's or chumps allowed in the ring". Phil noticed them as the trio walked in.

"Well, look who decided to show up," Phil hollered, " the junior heros, ha ha ha."

"I came to test this out," Sora showed Phil Ultima Weapon, "is Cloud here?"

"Funny you should ask that." Phil replied, "He's in the ring fighting some evil looking guy. Real tall, big black overcoat, long snow white hair, really long sword, oh and a big black wing. Name started with an 'S' Seraph or something. I think he's really fighting, not some friendly bout, really fighting. Blood, destruction, real weapons. It looks for real."

"Fighting who?" Sora asked.

the entire Coliseum shakes violently, Hercules runs in

"What was that!?" Hercules said startled.

"MY ARENA!!!" Phil screamed. As they looked through the hallway leading to the arena, they noticed there was no more arena.

"We're going out there!" Sora yelled

"Me too." Hercules agreed.

Ch. 4

The One Winged Angel

The arena was obliterated. The ground was charred, the spectator seats were gone, and fire was blazing all around them. Cloud was leaning heavily on his sword. Had he won? They all noticed the blood and black feathers on the ground everywhere. Was it Cloud who had caused the destruction?

No he didn't cause this. He didn't win. He lost, But where was the other guy?

"Get out of here now!" Cloud yelled. "He's still here!"

"Who is?" Sora asked, "We're here to help you."

"You can't." he replied.

At that moment a bright light came down over what was left of the arena. As they all looked up they saw what looked like beautiful stained glass hovering in the sky, just out of reach. Then a beam of black light came between the heros and Cloud.

"It's him." Cloud said shakily.

The light cleared up, there was a man crouched. He began to rise, slowly. He was tall six feet at least, had a black overcoat, long white hair that went all the way down to his legs, a really long sword longer than he was tall, and a large black wing over his right arm. Could he fly? Is it possible with only one wing? The arena went silent, the flames went down, and when he reached his full height he outstretched his right arm and wing and turned towards the heros. The flames went bright blue.

"I am the Sephiroth!" he said.

Ch. 5

The Birth of a God

Sephiroth stood staring at the heros, his back turned towards Cloud who tried to sieze the oportunity to strike. It missed, and Sephiroth turned and swung cutting a wide gash into his stomach. Cloud fell to the ground, blood seeping from his fresh wound. Hercules charged, drawing his short sword. Sephiroth held his long sword foward and Hercules could not stop fast enough, he was impaled. Hercules was a god, but in the mortal realm he could be slain. The trio ran into action. Sephiroth raised his right hand and pillars of flames shot from the ground as high as the eye could see. Donald and Goofy were caught off guard and fell to the ground badly burned. Sora managed to dodge the flames and ran towards Sephiroth, Keyblade ready. Sephiroth stood with a smile and raised his sword ready to attack. When he swung Sora dodged and attempted to hit, but all that was there was some feathers. Had he hit him and killed Sephiroth? No, he stood at the other end of the arena. Sephiroth had teleported.

"Come on." Sephiroth said smiling. He then charged and as Sora swung he disappeared again.

'Where did he go?' Sora thought. He turned and saw him a good distance away.

"Sin Harvest!" Sephiroth yelled in a cold and unemotional tone that sent a shiver up Sora's spine. Sephiroth waved his hand around and a light shone from it. But there was a light somewhere else too. A halo appeared over Sora's head. It seemed odd at first, but suddenly he felt so weak he could'nt even stand up. He dropped to his knees. Sephiroth approached, slowly taking his time.

'Is this the end?' Sora thought. 'No, I came this far, I am the weilder of the Keyblade, I finally found Kairi, the others are all depending on me to save their worlds, I can't die.'

But what could he do he couldn't hold up the Keyblade to defend himself, he couldn't stand up to get away, he could hardly keep his head up to see Sephiroth striding towards him. It seemed like an eternity.

But a familiar voice, a beautiful voice, Kairi's voice shouted at him. 'Sora you lazy bum, I knew I would find you lying around. Come on, get up. We're counting on you.'

Sephiroth stood over Sora. Raising his sword he said, "That was true power."

The sword came down.... Sora had deflected the the attack and using his new Ultima Weapon he cut a deep gash into Sephiroth's chest. Sephiroth leaped back. It was aided by the wing which gave him great speed. When he landed he stared at Sora who was now standing Keyblade in hand ready to fight. Sephiroth was slouched over looking at the wound caused by the boy. He was bleeding. He found this unusual. It had been so long since he bled.

He stood his full height, and said "I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to to free this world from you pathetic humans in the name of the Cetra. The blood of the Cetra Jenova runs through me. I will not fail." Sephiroth sheathed Masamune, and his wing extended out fully, giving him a very intimidating look. "The planet and I shall become one!" He cried. The sky went dark and the flames went out.

'What's happening...?' Sora thought.

Ch. 6

I Am The Chosen One

The sky was black even though it was a beautiful day outside. Black clouds covered the sky, no light shone through. He stood, hands in the air, wing outstretched, and staring at the now black sky. Suddenly meteors were falling from the sky. Large meteors that were split in half horizontally, in the middle of the meteors were black orbs that had an odd aura resonating from them.

'What is going on?' Sora thought. 'What is he doing?' As he thought this a large sphere of pure energy appeared over his head, growing with every second. He had to stop whatever he was doing. He charged, but as he did the meteors rose into the air, hovering just over the ground. They were big, real big, and moving too fast too dodge. He was hit, and as he was he felt as though the energy was being slowly sucked away from him and going into the meteor. By now the sphere had grown quadruple the size of what it was when it started. It covered the sky around the arena. 'Was this what happened earlier?' He thought. 'If it is I'm in trouble.'

He was thinking too much. The sphere had finished growing, the meteors went back up into the air, and Sephiroth lowered his hands. Still staring at the sphere he said, "Now this is true power." He then looked towards Sora and laughed, a cold heartless laugh. He raised one hand into the air, still staring at Sora, then as though he was throwing something he lowered his hand. The sphere was coming at him. It moved slowly though. So slowly it might take half an hour to reach the ground.

Now was his chance. He charged Sephiroth, but something was different. Sephiroth was glowing. An odd glow coming from where his heart was. It was bright blue and it increased the already threatening appearence of Sephiroth. He was still running. Sephiroth stood emotionless staring at Sora, then began to laugh. "What are you going to do, you can't stop me, you are only delaying the inevitable." With that Sora stopped. He looked at everyone. Donald and Goofy were unconsious. Hercules lay face first bleeding heavily from his wound. And Cloud was looking at the sky, at the sphere of death, the time bomb. Cloud somehow had the strength to stand up and pick up his huge sword. Sora was amazed to see Cloud concious let alone standing ready to fight.

"Farewell." Cloud said in a voice that sent a chill up Sora's spine. Cloud began to glow a bright gold and the wrappings around his sword seemed to burn away. But something else happened... a wing grew from his shoulder. Unlike Sephiroth's wing this one was solid, like a bat's wing. Sephiroth's was feathered like a crow's wing. He was flying now, sword ready. He flew towards Sephiroth at a great speed. Somehow Sephiroth dodged the flying fury of attacks, and began to fly. Now it was an aerial battle.

Sora couldn't keep up with the two, so he went and helped the others inside the coliseum away from the chaos outside. But would that be enough? Could that protect them from the sphere of death that was slowly heading towards the ring? He hoped so. When he returned he was amazed to see the two still fighting in the air. Cloud was looked towards Sora, taking his eyes off Sephiroth for half a second. Too long, Sephiroth attacked and knocked Cloud to the ground with a very violent blow that would have killed a normal man. Sephiroth landed next to where Cloud lay.

"I am the chosen one." He said as he raised his sword for the final blow. The sphere was now dangerously low to the ground, if you jumped to high your head would hit it. The heat was intense making it hard for Sora to think. Without thinking though, he took a chance. maybe Sephiroth hadn't noticed him enter the ring. He ran.

Just as Sephiroth began to drive Masamune into Cloud's hear, Sora gave one last cry, "Sephiroth," Sephiroth turned stopped and turned to see what was going on, but it was too late, "dodge this!" and the Keyblade went into Sephiroth's chest. The light faded from Sephiroth, the sphere in the sky disappeared, and the sky went bright as the sun broke through the clouds. Sephiroth dropped to his knees. He looked at Sora with a stare that seemed to be of fear. Was this it.

A loud cry of pain came from the Angel of Death. Sora removed the Keyblade from inside of Sephiroth. and with that he disappeared in a bright flash of blue light.

Aftermath

(One week later)

'It was over, everything was over. The Heartless were supposably defeated, Ansem was dead, Sephiroth was gone, the worlds were returned to there original place, the people who lost there world were returned, but only one thing was out of place. Me. I wasn't home with my childhood friends, my parents, or with Kairi. I was with my friends though, Donald and Goofy. Suprisingly this had to be the happiest I have ever been. I know I will see Kairi again, so I'm happy. What could possibly go wrong?'
