********************************************************************************************************
(Recommended music for this scene, Final Fantasy X: The final battle or Dragon Boy from Spirited Away, you know, just anything that seems kind of urgent and fast paced, but mysterious at the same time...yes I DO I have problems)
It was getting dark. The light from the sun was fading, the colors of crimson, gold, and amythest fading over the horizon, the colors seeming to sink into the water almost, the sea reflecting the remaining rays of light creating an ocean of color. And the color was slowly fading, seeming to sink away to leave dark blue as the sun faded away, dipping down to sleep beneath the horizon, so close now, it seemed.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A flash of rainbow burst across the sea of colors, led by the keyblade master, whom had his wings tucked against his body, the tips spread out to keep him inches above the water, streaks of color following him like a beam of pure light. The water burst behind him, like
wings of liquid.
"Gotta get there on time." Sora panted, sapphire eyes fixated upon the vanishing sun, the wind pushing his chestnut spikes back.
It was so close now, the sun, or so it seemed. But the ocean seemed to stretch so far, no matter how far he flew, the distance just didn't seem to
shrink.
His eyes wandered to the various islands he was passing. It was odd, he's seen many islands, but if he tried to fly torwards them, they never got any closer, like mere illusions. Not that it mattered, he didn't have time anyway.
The sun was fading, dipping lower and lower, the light slowly vanishing from the sky.
He looked at the island he had been flying past as the light from the fading sun vanished from it. And as the light died, it seemed to take the island with it! The mass of land just vanished with the rays of light.
"Wha!?" Sora's eyes widened. He flared his wings cast a glance behind him...
And there was nothing there! Nothing but empty blackness, no water, no islands, nothing. It was as if as the light left, this world too, began to vanish, disappearing within the inky abyss left behind.
"Okay..thats definitely not normal. I'd better hurry!" Sora said to himself, beating his wings at a faster pace in hope of going faster.
Unfortunately, beating his wings didn't really help much, as the darkness behind him drew closer and closer.
"Crap, this isn't working!" Sora grumbled. "Okay, what did Donald say about flight and what not? Uhhh.........don't fly over large bodies of water, already did that, flapping your wings alot doesn't really get you anywhere, no duh, and..uh...oh yeah! The higher you go, the faster you can go. Oh yeah!" Sora looked back behind him at the ever growing abyss. "Stop talking, start flying!" He growled to himself, beating his wings to go upward, straining against gravity to go higher, and higher, and higher.
Another look behind the keybearer revealed the darkness to be drawing ever closer, now hardly ten yards away and drawing closer with each second. "Okay, no more time!" With that Sora halfway folded his wings, falling into a downward slant towards the horizen, the darkness creeping behind him.
Closer, closer, he could see the spot where the sliver of light met the waters edge.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Sora grumbled, flapping his wings back slightly to push himself forward more.
Suddenly an icy cold came over his feet and instictively he pulled his knees forward. He turned his head to see the darkness nearly upon him, coming at him like a wave of black.
"Gah!" Sora cried in surprise as he felt the icy cold coming from the darkness, like the cold that blasts at you when
you open a freezer door. A small flicker of fear jumped in his chest. He quickly turned his gaze on the slowly vanishing light. "Just keep your eyes on the light." He told himself, even as he felt his feet go numb as the darkness came over them.
"Almost there.." Sora mumbled, blasting energy behind him in a feeble attempt to go faster and keep the inky black away. His legs were going numb now, he cold feel the icy hand of the blackness closing around him.
"Just a bit more." Sora said to himself, clenching his teeth and still flapping his wings, feeling them practically scream from exhaustion and
strain.
His wings were going numb now, the numbness climbing it's way towards its heart. Up ahead he could see the light vanishing, now merely a line of white visable in the black that had closed over a sea that no longer existed.
"I..can't..." He mumbled, feeling his wings go slack and beginning to fall into the abyss. "Kairi...Riku...I'm sorry.." He whispered, his world going dark.
"Sora!" A voice cried, and Sora looked up, back at what was now a pinpoint of light. His friends stood there, smiling at him, their hands reached out towards him. Goofy, Donald, Mickey, Leon, Yuffie, Riku, and Kairi. All standing there, their hands outstretched, smiling in encouragement.
"C'mon, you can do it!"
Sora's eyes narrowed. "I'm coming!" He cried, flapping his numbed wings and reaching out a hand in a final attempt to grasp the light as he felt the darkness pulling him down. Closer, just a bit more.
The very tip of his middle finger brushed Kairis.
Suddenly a great light envolped him, bringing warmth to his frozen limbs and enveloping his vision, making everything white.
"Sora." A voice whispered.
"Kairi?" Sora mumbled, opening his eyes, expecting to be staring into Kairi's royal blue eyes. Instead he met the ice cold blue eyes of the Angel of Duty. Everything was white around them, the white slowly turning light grey.
Kimmu frowned. "No." She said, standing to her feet and brushing her emerald hair out of her eyes.
Sora blushed slightly. "Sorry." He said, standing to his feet.
Kimmu gave him a curt nod and held out her hand. "Have you brought the gem?"
"You mean I'm not too late!?" Sora cried in surprise.
Kimmu shook her head. "No, you were right on time. Now, you did bring the gem?"
Sora nodded, fishing into his pocket and pulling out the star shaped crystal and placing it in the woman's hand. Kimmu nodded and closed a fist around the gem, and it vanished in a flash of green.
"Very good." Kimmu said, turning on her heel.
"Huh!? Wait! Didn't I pass the test!?" The keybearer demanded.
Kimmu looked over her shoulder at the brunette. "The first part of the test, yes."
Sora blinked. "ONLY the first part!? That's not fair!"
Kimmu shot Sora a glare. "This is my world, keybearer. My world, my rules."
Sora glared back. "Fine, whatever. You're lucky this is my only way to get back." He grumbled.
Kimmu didn't answer the boy, her face still calm as ever. The blackness was begining to creep around them. "We'd best hurry before the darkness swallows us." She pulled a pistol from her belt and pointed it into the dark.
A shot rang out, and the ivory bullet sunk within the dark. A beam of light shot from that spot and created a portal.
"Are you coming or what keybearer?" Kimmu demanded, already heading for the portal.
Sora sighed. "Coming." He said, jogging over to the circle of white and jumping through just as the darkness swallowed the last pinpoint of light.
******************************************************************************
(Oh, c'mon, where do you think we've shifted to? The dark castle thingy! Duh! Suggested music? Uh, One Step Closer by Linkin Park...wait till Yami actually gets up to play it though _)
Marik blinked at Yugi's motionless body and prodded it with his boot, receiving no response. The blonde let out a growl of frustration. "Stupid kid! Get up!" He snapped.
Again, there was no response, the boy remained unconscious.
"Wake up!" The Yami yelled, extremely irritated now. Yugi still remained silent.
"Get up!" Marik howled, kicking the prone body and sending it slamming into the wall. He expected the boy to fall to the ground and stay there, as that was how it had been for the past ten minutes. This time however, when Yugi fell to the ground and skidded against the stones, the Millenium puzzle around his neck flashed, the glow enveloping the boy's entire body and becoming flames of energy, dancing round the boy.
"What the-" Marik's eyes widened as the boy pushed himself to his feet, the golden aura still dancing around him. When he opened his eyes, they were crimson, not amythest. "Pharoah." The yami snarled, voice dripping with malice.
"Marik." Yami growled back. "So, you did this to my Hikari."
The blonde smirked. "Yes, I did my dear Pharoah."
"You bastard."
"You're welcome."
"Marik!" Yami howled, hands clenching into fists and flames of energy sparking around him.
The smirk still continued to play upon the blonde's lips. "What are you going to do about it, Pharoah?"
Yami did not smile. "We will play a game." He said, the eye of Ra glowing upon his forehead, summoning clouds of shifting shadow around them.
"The shadow realm? Such a thing has effects on mere mortals, but it takes more then that to defeat one who was born in this realm."
This time the former Pharoah did smirk. "I know." He said, pulling his cape from his shoulders and throwing it upon the ground. "The game is simple really. We fight untill one can subdue the other."
"That's all? I expected something far more fancy from you, Pharoah. Are you losing your touch?"
"I'm not finished yet." Yami said, as the shadows began shifted, hiding his opponent from veiw. "We cannot see each other, for one. You must relay on your other senses. " He held out his palm in the dark, gathering energy. " There are also...surprises in this particular area of the realm. Other then that, there are no rules."
"What happens if I win?"
Yami let out a breath of annoyance. "If you win, you may do as you wish with me. If I win, my Hikari, myself, and all of our friends are free to go."
"That doesn't seem very fair to me.................ah screw it. Your body is weak, this will be easy." Marik sneered, conjuring a flame of energy in the dark.
"We shall see." Was all that the other yami responded with, forming energy within his own hands.
"Well then...Let's go!"
Two bursts of energy, one a midnight blue etched with dark red, the other flaming gold mixed with crimson, met in the dark, creating an explosion that hit both Yami and Marik, sending both slamming into opposite walls.
Yami recovered first, pushing himself to his feet, golden eye glowing on his forehead in the blackness. He closed his eyes, focusing on tha aura of energy his opponent gave off. Sensing it, he opened his eyes. "Now you will see what happens to those who mess with my friends." He snarled.
Yami pressed his palms together and slowly brought them apart. Energy began to form between his hands, glowing gold and crimson, the orb of energy slowly growing larger as his hands were brought farther apart. The orb grew and grew, untill it became so large Yami could no longer contain it. He pushed his hands forward as if he were pushing the energy, and the orb burst from his palms and flew through the darkness.
Marik was just getting up when a glow of light began growing in his vision. His eyes widened.
FWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The explosion slammed into Marik, energy slamming through his body as pain exploded through him and sent him crashing into the wall once more.
He grunted, slowly pushing himself to his feet, wincing as he wiped warm blood from his face, and he could feel much more leaking from other wounds. The dust around him from Yami's previous attack was clearing, revealing....
A tall, pale man clad in dark purple armor, long violet hair hanging over his cold blue eyes, a long blue staff clutched in his right hand and pointed at Marik threateningly.
"The..Dark Magician?" Marik gasped.
"Not just any Dark Magician, my Dark Magician, Kurai. Say hello." Yami whispered from within the shadows.
"Pharoah." Marik growled, trying to pinpoint the spirit's location. However, the Egyptian spirit was keeping his aura hidden, much to Mariks frustration.
"Now then, Kurai." Just from Yami's tone of voice, Marik could tell he was smirking. "Show Marik one of your tricks."
Kurai whirled his staff, dark energy swirling from within it's jewelled head. He pointed it at Marik once more with a flourishing motion.Tendrils of darkness wrapped around the blonde, suspending him into the air and numbing his limbs with the cold, so cold it was painful to be within the grasp of the icy dark.
Marik let out a cry and thrashed, attempting to escape the hold of the Dark Magician's magic. His attempts were meaningless as the darkness merely closed tighter around him. The blonde let out a hiss, closing his eyes and mentally calling out.
/BAKURA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?/ He cried. He hung limply for a moment, wondering if the former tomb robber had heard.
//Gee, I don't know. Maybe taking a break, why?// Bakura's snide voice rang through Marik's head.
Marik thrashed again, despite knowing it wasn't getting him anywhere.
/BECAUSE THE STUPID PHAROAH GOT IN CONTROL AND SOMEHOW GOT THE COLLAR OFF!/
//What!? HOW!?// Bakura's enragement rang through the link, almost making Marik flinch. Almost.
A hiss escaped from Marik's lips. /My attack was too strong. NOW GET OVER HERE!/
There was a pause.
//Okay, I'm on my way; seeing as you can't seem to handle him.// Bakura sneered before breaking the link. Marik blew out a small breath of relief.
"Well then Marik.." Yami said, stepping into view now. "It looks like I win."
The blonde smirked. "Not quite, Pharoah..."
(Mwa ha ha ha ha ha, that's right, I'm leaving you there, MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!)
**********************************************************************
(Okay, so now we're with Sora again. Suggested music would be People of the North pole from Final Fantasy X, you know, the music that plays on Mt. Gagazet. If you don't have that song, seeing as I don't have it either I can't really blame you. That's what this here
webpage is for ^-^
http://blisteredavalon.net/kimahri/ http://65.54.168.250/cgi-bin/linkrd?_lang=EN&lah=730e1220b445aeb73e15ee3df9bf6dd5&lat=1076454669&hm___action=http%3a%2f%2fblisteredavalon%2enet%2fkimahri%2f Yeah..a webpage about Kimari _ Click on Media, then click on "Goodies" then click on the first little music thingy, "People of the North pole".........yes, I am sucker for pwetty sounding music. )
Cold. It was cold. That was the first thing that the keyblade master was aware of. Imagine sitting inside a bathtub filled with ice cubes and ice cold water. That's basically how cold Sora felt.
The brunette slowly opened his sapphire eyes. White, White everywhere. On the ground, cold to touch. Soft and wet......
"Where..am I?" Sora mumbled, sitting up and shivering, looking up at a grey sky. "What is this stuff?" He wondered aloud.
"Snow." Kimmu's calm voice brought the boy to his senses. He jumped to his feet, shaking the cold white stuff off of him.
"Snow?" Sora repeated, watching some of the white stuff melt in his hands to become water, and looking up to watch more white flakes of the stuff gently falling.
"Yes. Frozen rain."
"Oh....It's pretty..." Sora murmered, watching with eyes filled with wonder.
"You're at the foot of a mountain." Kimmu continued, fluffing her wings.
Sora nodded. "What do I have to do?"
Kimmu held out a hand and pressed a blue prism into the boy's gloved palm. "Take this." She said. She then pointed to the top of the mountain. "Take it up there."
Sora looked up at the large mountain. "That's it?" He said with a grin. He jumped into the air as if to fly...
And came crashing to the ground..
Sora let out a cry of surprise, muffled due to falling face first into the snow. He sat up. "What the heck!?"
The angel of duty gave a snort of amusement. "Are things ever that easy keybearer? There are no using wings for this. You'll have to climb."
Sora sighed, getting back to his feet and shivering. A look of determination was set on his face. "Okay..fine then. I'll be able to do this. No problem."
Kimmu smiled slightly. "That's the keybearer we know." She vanished in a flash of green. "Good luck.." Her words echoed.
Sora turned his attention to the mountain once more, grinning dispite the cold. "Okay then...I'll get through this. For my friends." He closed his eyes and smiled, picturing all of his friends, smiling at him, encouraging him, because he knew they were.
He had to get back to them. They needed him. She needed him.
"....For Kairi.."

"C'mon, you can do it!"
Sora's eyes narrowed. "I'm coming!" He cried, flapping his numbed wings and reaching out a hand in a final attempt to grasp the light as he felt the darkness pulling him down. Closer, just a bit more.
The very tip of his middle finger brushed Kairis.
Suddenly a great light envolped him, bringing warmth to his frozen limbs and enveloping his vision, making everything white.
"Sora." A voice whispered.
"Kairi?" Sora mumbled, opening his eyes, expecting to be staring into Kairi's royal blue eyes. Instead he met the ice cold blue eyes of the Angel of Duty. Everything was white around them, the white slowly turning light grey.
Kimmu frowned. "No." She said, standing to her feet and brushing her emerald hair out of her eyes.
Sora blushed slightly. "Sorry." He said, standing to his feet.
Kimmu gave him a curt nod and held out her hand. "Have you brought the gem?"
"You mean I'm not too late!?" Sora cried in surprise.
Kimmu shook her head. "No, you were right on time. Now, you did bring the gem?"
Sora nodded, fishing into his pocket and pulling out the star shaped crystal and placing it in the woman's hand. Kimmu nodded and closed a fist around the gem, and it vanished in a flash of green.
"Very good." Kimmu said, turning on her heel.
"Huh!? Wait! Didn't I pass the test!?" The keybearer demanded.
Kimmu looked over her shoulder at the brunette. "The first part of the test, yes."
Sora blinked. "ONLY the first part!? That's not fair!"
Kimmu shot Sora a glare. "This is my world, keybearer. My world, my rules."
Sora glared back. "Fine, whatever. You're lucky this is my only way to get back." He grumbled.
Kimmu didn't answer the boy, her face still calm as ever. The blackness was begining to creep around them. "We'd best hurry before the darkness swallows us." She pulled a pistol from her belt and pointed it into the dark.
A shot rang out, and the ivory bullet sunk within the dark. A beam of light shot from that spot and created a portal.
"Are you coming or what keybearer?" Kimmu demanded, already heading for the portal.
Sora sighed. "Coming." He said, jogging over to the circle of white and jumping through just as the darkness swallowed the last pinpoint of light.
******************************************************************************
(Oh, c'mon, where do you think we've shifted to? The dark castle thingy! Duh! Suggested music? Uh, One Step Closer by Linkin Park...wait till Yami actually gets up to play it though _)
Marik blinked at Yugi's motionless body and prodded it with his boot, receiving no response. The blonde let out a growl of frustration. "Stupid kid! Get up!" He snapped.
Again, there was no response, the boy remained unconscious.
"Wake up!" The Yami yelled, extremely irritated now. Yugi still remained silent.
"Get up!" Marik howled, kicking the prone body and sending it slamming into the wall. He expected the boy to fall to the ground and stay there, as that was how it had been for the past ten minutes. This time however, when Yugi fell to the ground and skidded against the stones, the Millenium puzzle around his neck flashed, the glow enveloping the boy's entire body and becoming flames of energy, dancing round the boy.
"What the-" Marik's eyes widened as the boy pushed himself to his feet, the golden aura still dancing around him. When he opened his eyes, they were crimson, not amythest. "Pharoah." The yami snarled, voice dripping with malice.
"Marik." Yami growled back. "So, you did this to my Hikari."
The blonde smirked. "Yes, I did my dear Pharoah."
"You bastard."
"You're welcome."
"Marik!" Yami howled, hands clenching into fists and flames of energy sparking around him.
The smirk still continued to play upon the blonde's lips. "What are you going to do about it, Pharoah?"
Yami did not smile. "We will play a game." He said, the eye of Ra glowing upon his forehead, summoning clouds of shifting shadow around them.
"The shadow realm? Such a thing has effects on mere mortals, but it takes more then that to defeat one who was born in this realm."
This time the former Pharoah did smirk. "I know." He said, pulling his cape from his shoulders and throwing it upon the ground. "The game is simple really. We fight untill one can subdue the other."
"That's all? I expected something far more fancy from you, Pharoah. Are you losing your touch?"
"I'm not finished yet." Yami said, as the shadows began shifted, hiding his opponent from veiw. "We cannot see each other, for one. You must relay on your other senses. " He held out his palm in the dark, gathering energy. " There are also...surprises in this particular area of the realm. Other then that, there are no rules."
"What happens if I win?"
Yami let out a breath of annoyance. "If you win, you may do as you wish with me. If I win, my Hikari, myself, and all of our friends are free to go."
"That doesn't seem very fair to me.................ah screw it. Your body is weak, this will be easy." Marik sneered, conjuring a flame of energy in the dark.
"We shall see." Was all that the other yami responded with, forming energy within his own hands.
"Well then...Let's go!"
Two bursts of energy, one a midnight blue etched with dark red, the other flaming gold mixed with crimson, met in the dark, creating an explosion that hit both Yami and Marik, sending both slamming into opposite walls.
Yami recovered first, pushing himself to his feet, golden eye glowing on his forehead in the blackness. He closed his eyes, focusing on tha aura of energy his opponent gave off. Sensing it, he opened his eyes. "Now you will see what happens to those who mess with my friends." He snarled.
Yami pressed his palms together and slowly brought them apart. Energy began to form between his hands, glowing gold and crimson, the orb of energy slowly growing larger as his hands were brought farther apart. The orb grew and grew, untill it became so large Yami could no longer contain it. He pushed his hands forward as if he were pushing the energy, and the orb burst from his palms and flew through the darkness.
Marik was just getting up when a glow of light began growing in his vision. His eyes widened.
FWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The explosion slammed into Marik, energy slamming through his body as pain exploded through him and sent him crashing into the wall once more.
He grunted, slowly pushing himself to his feet, wincing as he wiped warm blood from his face, and he could feel much more leaking from other wounds. The dust around him from Yami's previous attack was clearing, revealing....
A tall, pale man clad in dark purple armor, long violet hair hanging over his cold blue eyes, a long blue staff clutched in his right hand and pointed at Marik threateningly.
"The..Dark Magician?" Marik gasped.
"Not just any Dark Magician, my Dark Magician, Kurai. Say hello." Yami whispered from within the shadows.
"Pharoah." Marik growled, trying to pinpoint the spirit's location. However, the Egyptian spirit was keeping his aura hidden, much to Mariks frustration.
"Now then, Kurai." Just from Yami's tone of voice, Marik could tell he was smirking. "Show Marik one of your tricks."
Kurai whirled his staff, dark energy swirling from within it's jewelled head. He pointed it at Marik once more with a flourishing motion.Tendrils of darkness wrapped around the blonde, suspending him into the air and numbing his limbs with the cold, so cold it was painful to be within the grasp of the icy dark.
Marik let out a cry and thrashed, attempting to escape the hold of the Dark Magician's magic. His attempts were meaningless as the darkness merely closed tighter around him. The blonde let out a hiss, closing his eyes and mentally calling out.
/BAKURA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?/ He cried. He hung limply for a moment, wondering if the former tomb robber had heard.
//Gee, I don't know. Maybe taking a break, why?// Bakura's snide voice rang through Marik's head.
Marik thrashed again, despite knowing it wasn't getting him anywhere.
/BECAUSE THE STUPID PHAROAH GOT IN CONTROL AND SOMEHOW GOT THE COLLAR OFF!/
//What!? HOW!?// Bakura's enragement rang through the link, almost making Marik flinch. Almost.
A hiss escaped from Marik's lips. /My attack was too strong. NOW GET OVER HERE!/
There was a pause.
//Okay, I'm on my way; seeing as you can't seem to handle him.// Bakura sneered before breaking the link. Marik blew out a small breath of relief.
"Well then Marik.." Yami said, stepping into view now. "It looks like I win."
The blonde smirked. "Not quite, Pharoah..."
(Mwa ha ha ha ha ha, that's right, I'm leaving you there, MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!)

(Okay, so now we're with Sora again. Suggested music would be People of the North pole from Final Fantasy X, you know, the music that plays on Mt. Gagazet. If you don't have that song, seeing as I don't have it either I can't really blame you. That's what this here
webpage is for ^-^

Cold. It was cold. That was the first thing that the keyblade master was aware of. Imagine sitting inside a bathtub filled with ice cubes and ice cold water. That's basically how cold Sora felt.
The brunette slowly opened his sapphire eyes. White, White everywhere. On the ground, cold to touch. Soft and wet......
"Where..am I?" Sora mumbled, sitting up and shivering, looking up at a grey sky. "What is this stuff?" He wondered aloud.
"Snow." Kimmu's calm voice brought the boy to his senses. He jumped to his feet, shaking the cold white stuff off of him.
"Snow?" Sora repeated, watching some of the white stuff melt in his hands to become water, and looking up to watch more white flakes of the stuff gently falling.
"Yes. Frozen rain."
"Oh....It's pretty..." Sora murmered, watching with eyes filled with wonder.
"You're at the foot of a mountain." Kimmu continued, fluffing her wings.
Sora nodded. "What do I have to do?"
Kimmu held out a hand and pressed a blue prism into the boy's gloved palm. "Take this." She said. She then pointed to the top of the mountain. "Take it up there."
Sora looked up at the large mountain. "That's it?" He said with a grin. He jumped into the air as if to fly...
And came crashing to the ground..
Sora let out a cry of surprise, muffled due to falling face first into the snow. He sat up. "What the heck!?"
The angel of duty gave a snort of amusement. "Are things ever that easy keybearer? There are no using wings for this. You'll have to climb."
Sora sighed, getting back to his feet and shivering. A look of determination was set on his face. "Okay..fine then. I'll be able to do this. No problem."
Kimmu smiled slightly. "That's the keybearer we know." She vanished in a flash of green. "Good luck.." Her words echoed.
Sora turned his attention to the mountain once more, grinning dispite the cold. "Okay then...I'll get through this. For my friends." He closed his eyes and smiled, picturing all of his friends, smiling at him, encouraging him, because he knew they were.
He had to get back to them. They needed him. She needed him.
"....For Kairi.."
