NOTE: This battle is far from over! Just saying...
Hiero and Auron stood on one of the many balconies on Kixru's house. It was around 8 at night, and it was still light out. It was very cloudy, looked like it was going to rain.
After a long silence, Hiero asked Auron " What do you think happens when you die?"
Auron laughed. His eyes showed no emotion though. "I don't have to think. I have died."
Hiero didn't gasped, to Auron's surprise. "What does it feel like?"
Auron scratched his head, wondering how to explain it. "When you die…. You're happy it's all over, yet it isn't. Death is just something we all must face. Why are you thinking of it now?"
Hiero stuck his hands into the pockets of his faded pants. "I think N.O.B.O.D.Y. wants me dead. I think they want Marluxia."
They don't want me. A voice inside him spoke. It was Marluxia's voice.
Then what do they want?
They want your heart, to power it.
Power what?
Before Marluxia could answer, Auron yelled to Hiero to look in the sky. Hiero looked.
A large ship like thing hovered over Twilight Town, a few miles up. Hiero couldn't make out many details, but noticed it was grey.
"We must warn the others." Warned Auron, running to the door of the balcony. "That is a N.O.B.O.D.Y. assault ship."
Hiero, Kixru, Galthros, Leon, Auron, Axel, and Xavier all waited in the town square. The Twilight Town militia also waited, bows in hand. When the Nobody army dropped from that ship, they would fire arrows at it, hopefully killing a lot.
Hiero was very tense and nervous. He consulted Marluxia many times about what to do when the army came down. He just said to locate Organization members.
Oddly enough, their "super spy" Zexion, was not present. Axel thought he was telling N.O.B.O.D.Y. all their weaknesses. Galthros assured him it wasn't true.
Leon approached Hiero, summoning his gun-blade. " You can handle yourself right? Cause Auron and I may get separated when the army comes down from you."
Hiero thought this all the better, because Hiero believed he should confront the Organization alone.
Suddenly people began yelling. Hiero looked up. The ships side door opened, and thousands upon thousands of grey figures jumped out.
"Fire!" Screamed Galthros. The militia shot their arrows, and Axel set them on fire in mid-air. They collided with the grey figures, destroying many. But still more rained down.
"Fire!" Yelled Galthros again, and they repeated the process. The figures kept coming.
Suddenly Hiero was engulfed in thousands of Dusks and other nobodies. They hit the ground and immediately charged anything in site.
Hiero summoned his scythe and slashed a few, trying to make his way to the others. A ninja like nobody slashed him in the back with a small tanto (small ninja sword). Hiero yelped in pain and spun around, slashing the Nobody right in half. Getting to the others wasn't an option.
The Dusks moved closer to him. He started slashing everywhere, jumping in the air and coming down with a slash, throwing his scythe and making it come back to him. Soon he found himself near the town church.
He slammed his scythe into a Berserker Nobody, sending it threw the walls of the church.
The Nobodies ceased attacking all of the sudden. He kept on guard, looking everywhere.
Suddenly a portal appeared in front of him. Hiero tensed and jumped back.
Out of the portal walked Number II. Xehanort. "Hiero." He said mockingly. "Why did you leave us? We need you in our big plan."
Hiero yelled in rage. Marluxia's scythe appeared in one hand.
"I'll never assist you-Die!"
They spoke at the same time, he and Marluxia. It sounded very odd, like hearing two voices but one person.
A black ripple appeared in the air next to Xehanort's right hand, and a long sword appeared. "Then I shall force you to!"
Xehanort began to float in place. He flew forward, leaving a trail of darkness in his wake. His long blade collided with the pink scythe, and Hiero slashed with the other. Xehanort dodged it.
He dropped onto the ground. He stood up and shot a dark beam at Hiero, who used both scythes to block it. Hiero moved back a little but still blocked it.
Then Hiero ran forward at amazing speeds and slashed at Xehanort, Xehanort slid back a little a blocked it. Hiero continued with a barrage of attacks, but every time Xehanort blocked. Finally, Hiero gave up, panting. He stumbled back a little.
Xehanort laughed, not even breaking a sweat. "Maybe after this battle, we can convince you, to come back." And he disappeared.
Kixru stood on a skyscraper (yes Twilight Town also has skyscrapers, but very few.) His large black key blade was in his right hand. He looked at his opponent.
The hooded figure summoned his weapon. The Oathkeeper. "Kixru, your time has come. Join us, or we shall destroy this world."
Kixru charged forward, yelling in anger. His slammed his keyblade against his enemy's. Sparks flew everywhere as they fought. They jumped into the air, slashing and kicking each other. Kixru kicked his opponent to the ground, and his hood fell off.
Kixru flew down, Roxas barely stopping his keyblade.
"You… you killed Sora! You killed Kairi! You killed King Mickey!"
Roxas shrugged, smiling evilly. Kixru stood up and slammed his keyblade down again. He kept slamming it down, with the force that could break a mountain. "I hate you! Die! Die! Die!"
Hiero slashed his way threw another wave of Nobodies. He was exhausted.
A Dusk jumped at him from behind, but a ball of flame whizzed by Hiero's head and destroyed it. Leon ran over to Hiero, slashing another Dusk with his gun-blade.
Hiero jumped over Leon and slashed a Samurai nobody right in half. Then he backed up, his back touching Leon's. They were near the train station, and were completely surrounded. Hundreds and hundreds of Nobodies moved in closer.
" This could take awhile." Leon remarked, gripping his gun-blade.
"You afraid?" Hiero mocked jokingly. Leon shrugged.
"Nah. I've fought this many before."
'What happened?" Hiero asked.
Leon smiled." I lost an eye…." Then his smile faded. " And my best friend."
"You won't lose a friend." Hiero assured. Then he laughed. "Maybe an eye."
Leon chuckled and charged forward, and so did Hiero
Hiero had never fought that way before. He slashed and countered millions of times. The fading bodies of Nobodies were everywhere. He single handedly killed at least 700, he lost count at 702. He eventually stopped. Many of the Nobodies were dead. Leon walked over to him.
"Good job." He panted, patting Hiero on the back.
Suddenly a man jumped threw the air and landed in front of them. Were he landed, a slit opened in the air and a woman walked out.
It was Dexsis and Xuna. The white rose and the keeper of time.
"So." Dexsis said, walking around in circles around Leon and Hiero. "I see you made quick work against those Nobodies. I assure you though, we won't be so easy."
Leon shot a bullet from his weapon, but Dexsis just disappeared and reappeared next to Xuna.
"It seems, we will have to take Marluxia by force." Smiled Xuna.
Thorns shot out of the ground and wrapped around Dexsis. They went up his next and around to his left hand, were they formed his thorn whip. A giant blue clock appeared next to Xuna, with blue flames marking each hour. On the hour hand was her kama and chain, and she grasped it and pulled it off, the clock disappearing. Leon and Hiero got into a defensive fighting stance.
Dexsis slashed his whip, which tore threw the air, going much longer than it was. Suddenly a figure appeared and blocked the whip in mid-air. Auron.
"Take care of Xuna!" Yelled Auron, and he charged at Dexsis. He jumped into him, and a dark portal enveloped the two.
Xuna turned to Hiero and Leon. They charged forward.
Xuna charged as well. She spun her kama and chain around, it slashing Leon. He was sent flying back.
Then she snapped her figures, and a huge blue clock appeared. Dark strands came out from the ground and strapped Leon to the clock. Blue flames marked the hours, and the massive minute and hour hands were on both sides of him, the minute hand further down. In about five minutes, the minute hand could crush him to dust.
She smiled evilly at Hiero. Hiero tried to help Leon, but Xuna made a force field around the clock.
Fight her
How?
She only controls time. It can't do much harm.
Hiero charged at Xuna. She disappeared and reappeared behind him, sending her kama and chain at him. He raised his scythe up to block, and the weapon wrapped around it. Hiero pulled, sending Xuna near him. He slashed her twice, and then kicked her fifty feet into the air. He didn't really know how he did that. But he jumped into the air, and somehow rose up to her height. He slammed his scythe down on her, sending her right into the ground.
Xuna stood up. Hiero landed near her. She motioned to Leon.
Leon tried to yell, but dark strands choked him. The minute hand came dangerously close to his face.
Xuna laughed evilly. "Surrender now, or he dies."
Hiero looked down. He couldn't let Leon die. "You evil little bitch."
Xuna laughed, and the minute hand drew closer. " Fine! I surrender!" Hiero yelled. "Just don't hurt him! I surrender!"
No you don't!
There was a flash of light, and suddenly, someone was in front of him. It was Marluxia, scythe in hand.
"Impossible!" Screamed Xuna, but Marluxia already started to fight her.
Run Hiero! I shall deal with her.
Hiero didn't have to be told twice. He ran down the street, away.
Suddenly a dark portal appeared in front of him, when he was in the town square. A large, muscular man dressed in an Organization coat stepped out.
"More N.O.B.O.D.Y. members!" Hiero yelled, summoning his scythe. "What do you want?"
The muscular man laughed. He stepped closer to Hiero. "You know Dexsis and Xuna?"
Hiero nodded, tightening the grip of his weapon. The man's hands turned into fists. "They have there on agenda, and wish to over throw the Organization by using Marluxia, who rests inside you."
"I won't let them!" Hiero yelled. The man laughed. Rocks shot out from the ground next to his right hand. They were pushing up something. It was a huge mace. The man grabbed it, and the rock disappeared. "My name is Seelix by the way. You have become to dangerous to keep alive."
Hiero gritted his teeth. Seelix slammed his huge mace onto the ground, and jagged stalagmites began ripping out from the ground. Hiero jumped, barely dodging a spike.
Seelix smashed his foot down, and a straight line of spikes shot up.
Hiero rolled out of the way and ran at Seelix, attacking with his scythe. Seelix deflected the attack, and attacked with a spinning attack. Hiero jumped out of the way, then countered. He slashed Seelix into the air, and when Seelix was in the middle of coming down, he slashed him again, sending him spiraling through a building.
Seelix threw the rubble off of him, grasping his side. He tried to stand up, and managed. "Good job, Hiero." And he disappeared.
Suddenly Xuna was sent crashing through the same building. Hiero spun around to see Leon and Marluxia standing there. Xuna disappeared as well, in rage.
Marluxia walked over to Hiero, and went back inside his heart.
More Dusks began to appear everywhere, walking ut from buildings, falling from the sky.
Leon sighed in annoyance. "This is getting… repetitive." Hiero laughed.
Galthros smashed another Nobody with his shield. He stabbed one and kicked another. But there were just too many. The jumped on top of him, throwing him to the ground. The weight was unbearable. He tried to stand up. He couldn't.
Suddenly, they all disappeared. Zexion's hand shot down, and Galthros grabbed it. Zexion helped him up.
More Nobodies closed in. Galthros got in a fighting stance. Zexion just stood there. "This should be easy." He said. Darkness erupted from thin air and wrapped around Zexion's hand. It formed into a small ninja sword. A tanto.
Zexion roared and threw his palm forward. Orbs of darkness appeared all over the Nobodies. The Nobodies tried to brush them off, but to no avail. They exploded, killing every single Nobody in a black explosion.
Galthros patted Zexion on the back. "Good job."
Zexion spun around, an evil grin on his face. He threw the tanto up into the air, and grabbed it when it was higher up. He came down, stabbing Galthros right through his armor, right into his heart.
Galthros's face was shock stricken. Zexion releashed his weapon, and the warrior fell backwards, slamming onto the brick floor.
"Good job to you too."
