Chapter Eleven: The Last Battle Between Axel and Kairi

This time, Sora made sure he landed on ground, not on someone's back.

Kairi stood up, as did the others, rubbing the back of her head. This was slowly taking toll on them, unless they managed to land on pillows when they came to different worlds.

Four figures came running to them. Sora and Kairi knew them as Hercules, Megara, Phil, and Pegasus.

"Hey, Sora!" said Hercules, this time getting the bone crushing hug. Kairi got Pegasus' greeting.

Hercules looked at the lot. "Who are they? Friends?"

"Yeah. You already know Donald and Goofy, this is Cloud, Tifa and Kairi."

"Nice to meet you all. I suppose Pegasus is acquainted with Kairi?"

Phil started to panic. "Shadows! Over there! And there's a red- headed man in a black cloak leading them!"

Kairi sighed. "Not again."

They all ran to the plaza, where people were running about, hiding. Suddenly shout of joy came from the inhabitants.

"Hercules!"

Axel laughed, letting the heartless behind him.

"Come, Kairi, and let's finish this fight!"

Sora got in front of Axel. Axel shook his head.

"I've already fought you, boy, and I've had enough. Let's see Kairi fight again." He smirked.

"And risk her life again? I don't think so."

A blast of magic hit Axel. It wasn't Sora- it was Kairi.

"Sora, got my back?'

He smiled and stayed close behind her.

Axel stood, limping a bit.

"Good hit, for a girl."

"The nerve," whispered Sora.

Axel threw a blast of fire, but Kairi blocked it. A wall of silver separated Axel's team from Kairi's team.

"Now!" yelled Axel.

The heartless plunged for Kairi's team. Cloud motioned for Sora to guard Kairi. Sora nodded.

Kairi regained her block, as did Axel with his attack. He smiled and the two began pacing in a circle. Sora made to move but Kairi squeezed his hand and then let go.

"So, Kairi? Feeling better after your little accident?"

"Quite good, considering you almost killed me and the cut was three feet long."

Axel laughed. "Nice good sense of humour. Shame I have to take that away."

Axel attacked, but Kairi jumped and blocked. (Yes, she can fly for short distances in battle.)

Kairi expertly dodged his salvo of attacks. Axel found it hard to catch his breath and retreated.

"Tired?"

"I am surprised, Kairi. I am surprised. Heartless!"

Nothing came. Axel turned for an instant.

He was alone.

He turned to Kairi, who had an attack posture. Axel shook his hand.

"No need- you've already won."

Kairi maintained her attack posture.

"You're joking, right?"

Axel's weapons disappeared. "No. I am defeated. Good luck with the prophecy- you'll need it." He vanished in thin air.

Kairi reluctantly sheathed her blade. What was he talking about?

Sora scratched his head. "Nice victory."

"Thanks."

Tifa hugged Cloud. Surprisingly, Cloud didn't hug back. Tifa let go and looked at Cloud.

"Cloud, what's- "

"Psyche!" Cloud kissed her full on the lips. They all turned, their backs to Tifa and Cloud.

Kairi sat, wondering. Sora kneeled to her.

"Kai, you ok?"

"Yeah… but what did he mean with the good luck? I thought he hated me?"

"He probably felt sorry for us, but look on the good side- at least you don't have to fight him anymore." Sora smiled his cheesy trademark smile. Kairi doubled over in laughter.

"Kai?"

"Your- your smile! Makes you look like a kid again."

Sora ruffled her hair. "Yeah, all cute and cuddly." Kairi laughed.

"Are you lovebirds done?"

An absence of voice told them No.

--------------------------------------

After a half hour they were finally able to look again. Not only Tifa and Cloud, but also Meg and Hercules.

Tifa laughed. "All that's left is Sora and Kairi."

Kairi blushed furiously, Sora's cheeks turned pink. Pegasus trotted to Kairi and covered

her face with his white wing, nickering in laughter.

Kairi laughed, having regained her normal colour. She lowered his wing and he trotted back to Hercules.

"Let's get going," said Donald. The portal opened.

"But we didn't even spend a day here!" Kairi said..

"It's not me, but King Mickey. When he feels you have done your part, he opens the portal."

They all were sucked down the portal, quickly dropping on a paved street.
