Darkness Reawakens, Ace's Trial With Himself

Ace stepped into a completely black room. No light shined here. He walked foward and saw a man appear. He were a black cloak and held a strange orb.

"Quicker than I thought", he said.

"Necro!", Ace yelled,"You are the last one! Prepare to lose!" Necro laughed. His hood flew back, revealing his face. It was a skull. He let his cloak fly back like a cape, revealing a purplish body. He wore black pants and had straps in the shape of a X across his chest.

"You cant beat darkness", Necro said,"As I understand, you have grasped darkness on your little journey."

"I have put that behind me!", Ace yelled,"I can defeat you! The darkness within me is gone!" Necro laughed again.

"If you say so", he laughed. He let a sword appear in his hand. It was black with a purplish aura. "A blade infused with pure darkness", Necro ranted,"Your silly blade wouldnt be able to break through this." Ace let the keyblade appear. "Ah, a new blade, huh?", Necro mocked,"Still not enough." Necro put his hodd up again and covered his body. He disappeared into the darkness. "You cant win, Ace!", Necro yelled from what seemed like everywhere. Necro appeared from in front of Ace and slashed. He then disappeared again, chuckling. Ace looked down and saw his wound go from bloody red to deathly black.

"What the hell?", he yelled in surprise.

"It is my sword!", Necro laughed,"Your wound is not ordinary! It is like a poison! You will continue to weaken if you are good! Being dark is the only way to win here!" Ace grunted.

Damn...I didnt want to have to do this, but... "But I guess I dont have a choice!", Ace yelled as his body was enveloped in green and purple flames. It surrounded him and he gave out a scream. "I WILL KILL YOU!", he yelled. Necro gasped from his hiding spot.

"What is that?", he yelled.

"You said only the dark can survive here, did you not?", Ace asked, evilly as the flames left him,"Well, here is the darkness in me!" He wore a crimson suit from when he had fought Hias. The flame marks left disappeared, leaving a dark mark and held a new keyblade. The keyblade was now bigger and looked darker. He lifted his hand and saw exactly where Necro was charging him. He brought his sword to the side and blocked the blade Necro wielded. The sword went to the side and Ace grabbed Necro's face. "You die here!", Ace yelled as darkness came to the tips of his fingers. Necro gave out a scream as pain flowed through him. Ace suddenly snapped from within him. STOP!

"Stop, Ace!", Necro pleaded as Ace's subconcience attempted to take control from Dark Ace again.

"What now, loser", Dark Ace asked.

"Stop it!", Ace shouted from inside his mind as him and Dark Ace met in a small, dark room.

"I can kill this fool, weakling!", Dark Ace shouted.

"NO!", Ace yelled back,"Dont kill needlessly! I just needed to incapacitate him!"

"If you do so, it will come back to haunt you!", Dark Ace yelled,"What happened to Tai, huh? You hesitated and it gave birth to Hias in the end!" Ace winced.

"Shut up!", he yelled,"I still got Tai back and killed Hias!"

"I killed Hias, you weak, ungrateful loser!", Dark Ace countered. They continued yelling until they both allowed their keyblades to appear. The dark one and the normal one.

"I'll end this here!", Ace shouted as he charged.

"Sorry, but I have no intention of being stuck in your mind any longer!", Dark Ace yelled as he held his hand out and trapped Ace into a dark ball. Back in reality, Dark Ace was still holding Necro's face. He was about to finish it, but he saw images. He suddenly saw Tai and Ace fighting alongside each other. Then he saw Calm. Sora. Donald. Goofy. Riku. King Mickey. They all fought alongside each other. Then he saw Sarah. Dark Ace gripped his head and howled in pain as the memories flitted through his mind. Ace took over his body once again, panting heavily.

"Damn him...", Ace gasped. He looked up to see Necro unconcience and the room looked normal. He panted as he headed for the stairs. He remembered something then. "Damn...Why didnt I remember this sooner?", Ace asked, annoyed. He pulled out a hi-potion Riku had given him when they started the journey. He had given each of them a hi-potion when they started the journey towards Castle Oblivion. Of course, he had gotten seperated, but was kicking himself for not using that sooner. He suddenly felt rejuvenated as he headed for the stairs. He got to them, but ice covered the door before he entered. No! He spun around to see everyone standing there except for Asukara who he had killed. Yin, Jin, Rai, Touya, Asu, Holy, and Necro standing before him. Necro was just gulping down a hi-potion as he looked at each of them.

"Ace...You wont go further", Jin said.

"We cant let you", Rai continued.

"As much as we would rather end this peacefully...,"Touya jumped in.

"We must stop you here", Necro said.

"But we have agreed on something", Holy said.

"We would rather you join back here", Yin finished.

"Ace, you were my best friend!", Jin yelled.

"My greatest rival!", Rai yelled out.

"My great leader!", Touya continued.

"The only one worthy of facing me!", Necro followed.

"The one I cared about most...", Holy said as she remembered the memories. Ace remembered them too and felt sadder for this.

"You were my first love, Ace!", Yin finished for them. Asu felt differently, however.

"You were mine and my brother's friend", Asu started. Then he looked up from looking at the floor, glaring at Ace. "But you killed my brother! YOU COULD DIE FOR ALL I CARE!", he finished. Everyone looked at him. Tears went down freely from his eyes.

"He brought it on himself", Ace said,"If you want to settle this peacefully, release your ice from the door." Everyone looked sad except for Asu who was a mix of angry and sad.

"I cannot", Touya whispered,"I wish I could, but I may not let you pass."

"Well then...I guess we must fight then", he said,"As for the rest of you...Jin! I have new friends! Rai! You arent worth being my rival! Touya! I am no leader! Necro! You arent even worthy enough to clean my sword! Holy...Yin...Out of all these people, you were the ones I cared about most when fighting, but I have someone far more precious! I see how precious I was to you! And how I felt of you long ago, but...That has changed!" Everyone looked hurt. Touya and Holy were the only ones who had a torn expression on their face. Touya grunted.

"I wont fight again", he said,"I do not wish to face my master again." Holy walked foward.

"I dont either", she said,"Touya is right. We should let him through!" She went to Touya's side as the ice fell.

"Thank you", Ace said as he turned to leave, but flames jumped up in front this time. "Again?", Ace sounded annoyed.

"This is it, Ace", Rai said,"I will finally defeat you. Even if the others are needed for this, I will finally win!"

"We'll see", Ace sighed as his keyblade appeared.
