Chapter II: Destiny Island and Toad Town Part II
Sora lied beneath his quilt, dreaming of the adventure that he and his friends were going to have on their journey. He thought of fantastic places that only a child could imagine. Discovering an under water city, find a buried treasure or meat mythical creatures. He also dreamed about the paopu fruit and how much he wanted to give it to Kairi. It was something he felt in his heart. It was beating strongly for her and it was his desire. Sora finally woke up from his bed and looked at his clock. He noticed it was already twelve o clock. He gasped in surprise, realizing he overslept.
"On, no! I'm going to be late!" Sora cried. He quickly jumped out of his bed and got changed. After, he ran out of his house and called to his mom. "I'll be back later mom!"
"Be sure to get home on time honey!" called Sora's mom.
"I will mom!" Sora called back.
He bolted outside of his house door and ran all the way to the dock. He jumped into his tiny row boat and rowed as fast as he could to the island. At his pace, it took only ten minutes to each the island. Sora arrived at Destiny island and docked his boat into shore. As he got out, he saw Selphie walking up to him.
"Hey, Sora!" greeted Selphie.
"Selphie, have you seen Riku and Kairi?"
"Well, I heard that they went over to the other side of the island." Selphie answered.
"Thanks, I'll check it out!" Sora said with a smile.
Sora began running across the island. He knew Riku and Kairi were waiting for him, ready to kill him. Then, from out of nowhere, Wakka came and grabbed Sora's neck. The boy gasped for air as his big friend greeted him.
"Hey, man! What's up, ya?" Wakka said choking Sora.
"Wakka, you're choking me! Stop!" gasped Sora.
"Hey, sorry, man. I was haven too much fun, ya?" guffawed Wakka. "What's the hurry, Sora?"
"I have to go see Riku and Kairi, so I can't battle right now!" Sora panicked.
"Actually, I was hoping later you could join me and Tidus for a little exploring." Wakka said.
"Where are you going?" Sora wondered.
"We going to the secret place today. We a bit curious about what's there. There's got to be something there, ya?" Wakka responded.
"Sure, I'll join you, but right now I have find Riku."
"See ya later, ya?" Wakka said, saying farewell.
Sora ran across the beach of Destiny Island and arrived at the door Kairi was hanging out by yesterday. He opened the door to reach the other. This part of the island had wooden platforms all over. Below Sora was a small fountain of water that poured down. Sora would always taste the water in his mouth. It tasted very fresh and clean. Sora also saw a ladder that went up to a platform that had a zip line on it.
In the corner of the area was palm trees all in a row. At the tip edge of it was a star on a tree. Sora looked right to notice Riku standing around. He was very impatient, waiting for Sora to arrive. The boy ran over to his friend quickly.
"Riku!" Sora cried.
"You're late, Sora!" Riku said impatiently. "Lazing off again?"
"No way!" Sora protested. "Any who, I'm here now. So, what's up?"
"We haven't decided on a name for our ship yet." Riku responded. "So, I was thinking we should call it Highwind."
"But I wanted to call it Excalibur." Sora whined.
"Highwind!" Riku argued.
"Excalibur!"
"Highwind!"
"Excalibur!"
"Wait! We're getting no where fast!" Riku said, stopping the argument. "You want to do the usual way to settle this?"
"Okay, you're on, Riku!" Sora shouted with determination.
Kairi then walked over from the other side of the island and greeted the boys. She rolled her eyes, knowing the two where being competitive again.
"Are you two at it again?" Kairi asked with a groan.
"Yes!" Sora and Riku said together.
"Okay, I'll judge!" Kairi announced. "You can take any route you want. Make it to the star and back. First one back wins."
"Let's raise the stakes a little bit." Riku smirked.
"Okay! If I win, I'll be captain." Sora wagered. "And if you win...
"I get to share the paopu fruit with Kairi." Riku whispered.
"What?" Sora asked in shock.
"Deal? Who ever wins is not only captain, but gets to share the paopu fruit with, Kairi."
Sora was shocked. After Riku said to give it to Kairi, now he wants to give it to her? Sora felt a little upset with his friend. Now he was more determined to win this race. He tried to say something to Riku.
"But-"
"Get ready!" Kairi called, interrupting Sora. The two boys got into a running position and waited for Kairi to give them the go ahead. "On your mark, get set, go!"
Sora and Riku took off and began running over bridges and jumping over trees. Riku took an early lead with Sora behind. Sora then figured out a strategy to beat Riku. Sora ran to a ladder and climbed up it. Upon reaching the top, he saw a zip line and grabbed a hold of it. Kicking his feat into air, the line moved Sora to the star where he tagged it. He then saw Riku coming.
"Hey, no fair!" Riku called out.
Sora laughed as he quickly jumped from tree to tree and ran down the stairs. Riku then ran passed him and laughed.
"Oh, no!" Sora cried. "How did you catch up to me so fast?"
"Nice try, Sora!" Riku sang mockingly. "Don't you know I can never be beaten?"
"We'll see about that." Sora responded.
The two made their way back towards Kairi. Sora ran as fast as he could, feeling every breath in his body pushing him on. He could feel the sweat dripping down his skin and his breathing harden. Riku jumped on to a wooden pier near by where Kairi was, but then he fell off it, landing in the water. Sora jumped over the piers and ran at Kairi.
"Come on, Sora!" Kairi said, cheering Sora on.
Kairi also wanted to see Sora win for once. She knew he could do it. Sora ran at Kairi as fast as he could, panting with excitement. Sora's heart was beating rapidly from the excitement. Riku quickly got up and jumped back on to the pier and ran towards Kairi. Sora made a jump for it and tagged Kairi's hand, winning the race.
"I won!" Sora cried as he fell down.
"Hm, barley." an upset Riku said.
"Aw, you sore loser." Kairi giggled at Riku. "You know that it wasn't barely."
"Kairi, I'm not a sore loser." Riku objected. The two then noticed Sora dancing with victory. It was like he won the Super Bowl. "Sora is just a sore winner."
"You got a point, Riku." Kairi nodded in agreement.
"Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! I won!" Sora cheered.
"Man lighten up! It was just a race!" Riku sighed, rolling his eyes. He then threw a stone to Sora.
"What's this?" Sora asked.
"A rare pretty stone." Riku answered. "You won it fair in square." He then whispered in Sora's ear. "By the way, I was only joking about the paopu fruit thing."
"Oh, I see." Sora chuckled. He then blushed, feeling like a fool for dancing. "Sorry, guess I overacted."
"It's alright, man." Riku smiled with forgiveness. The two boys gave each other a high five, knowing everything was okay. "I'll see you later. I've got things to do." Riku then walked off.
"Well, you finally beat him, Sora." Kairi giggled. "Here's something from me."
Then, the unexpected happen, Kairi kissed Sora on the cheek which caused him to blush.
"Wow! That's some reward!" Sora cried
Kairi giggled and walked over to the boat with Sora following her. The boat had a small wooden raft, one log that pointed up and a sail. Sora was impressed with the craftsmanship Riku had.
"Wow!" Sora said in aw. "Riku awesome job on the raft!"
"He sure did." Kairi responded, observing the finished raft. "He told me he always helped his dad in his workshop since he was eight years old." She then turned back to Sora. "Now Sora, we need a few supplies for the boat."
"Why am I your errand boy?" Sora asked angrily.
"Because you do a good job at it." Kairi giggled. "Isn't that why they call you errand boy?" Sora grumbled and put his hands in his pocket. "Don't be such a grouch."
Sora then smiled, "Sorry, I'm still a little bit tired from the race. Don't worry, I'll get it done."
Sora took the list and ran to leave when Kairi stopped him.
"Sora! Take this bottle and fill it up at a clean spring." Kairi said, throwing a travel bottle to Sora.
Sora caught the bottle and left. Sora found a mushroom hidden behind a rock and he pushed the rock in order to get it. He made another pile like before and put the mushroom on it. Sora found another mushroom in a bush and added it to the pile. He walked over to some palm trees and saw some coconuts in them. Sora shook the trees, causing coconuts to fall. He grabbed three of them and added them to the pile. Sora headed back to the other side of the island and did some fishing for awhile.
He went through a small mud pile and grabbed a few worms. Sora sat on the dock for a little while until he got a few nibbles and caught some fish. He added them to the pile as well. Sora remembered early today he saw a seagull egg on a pine tree by the bridge. After looking around he finally found the egg and added it to his pile.
"I think there was a mushroom in the secret place." Sora pondered to himself.
Sora headed over to the secret place near by the waterfalls and crawled through the hole. He arrived at a dark cave. In it were scribbled drawings on the wall. Many pictures that the kids drew were on the wall. One of the most interesting thing in there was a brown door with no knob. Sora had may questions about the door, but never knew it's purpose for being there.
He then noticed a mushroom and grabbed it. Before leaving, Sora noticed one drawing with a scribble of Sora and Kairi. Sora then remembered how when he and Kairi were little and drew those pictures of each other. Grabbing a piece of chalk, Sora drew a star that moved towards the Kairi drawing. All of a sudden Sora heard footsteps and quickly stood up and turned around. He noticed a mysterious person wearing a brown cloak looking at him.
Sora felt nervous upon seeing him. He's never seen this person in his life. He's known everybody on his island, but never this cloaked person with a brown hood.
"Wh-who are you?"
"Forgive me for intruding on you." the man said in a low voice and mysterious voice.. "But, I'm here to see the door to this world."
"Huh?"
"Now, this world has become connected." The man said.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Sora asked nervously.
"Tide to the darkness, soon to be completely eclipsed."
"Stop freaking me out like this!" Sora shouted. "Where did you come from? I've never seen you here before."
"I'm afraid you do not know what lies beyond the door."
"Are you from another world?" Sora asked.
"There is so very much to learn, but you understand little." the man continued.
"Was that an insult?" Sora asked annoyed. "Who ever you are, you can't stop me! I'm going to go out there and see what's out there!"
"A meaningless effort, one who knows nothing can understand nothing." the man said quietly. "You know there are many answers and you will discover them, but you will not know everything. What about that door? What do you think is behind it?"
"Well, I'm not sure." Sora said unsure. He turned to look at the door, but when he turned back the man was gone. "Where did he go?"
"Where did who go?" called a voice.
Sora then turned to notice Tidus walking up to him.
"Um, it's nothing." Sora lied as he rubbed the back of his head. "I just can't find Riku."
"He left awhile ago. But Kairi is still here if you're looking for her." Tidus said.
"Thanks." Sora said with a smile.
Taking the mushroom, Sora left and headed to the other side of the island with his supplies. Sora stopped by the mini fountain on the way to fill up the water in the bottle. He also took a sip of the water. It tasted very clean and fresh to him. Sora arrived back at the raft and saw Kairi tinkering with something.
"Hey Kairi, what's that?" Sora asked with curiosity.
"Oh, this?" Kairi said holding up a neckless. "I'm making a neckless out of thalassa shells. Sailors used to wear them in the old days. It would help ensure a safe voyage for them."
"Interesting." Sora pondered to himself. He then remembered why he came back here. "Oh, yeah! I've got the items for you, Kairi."
"Thanks, Sora. Here, I got a hi-potion for you." Kairi said, handing Sora a potion.
"Thanks," Sora said taking the potion. "Come on! Let's head back."
"Good idea. We've got to get ready for tomorrow." Kairi agreed
The sun hit the horizon and the entire color changed into a beautiful red color. Sora and Kairi both sat at the docks, feeling the warmth of the sun embrace their faces. It was truly a magical moment as the two sat together.
"Hey, Sora." Kairi said.
"What's up?" Sora asked, turning to Kairi.
"Have you noticed that Riku has changed?" Kairi asked.
"What do you mean?" Sora said concerned. Kairi looked down and Sora talked softly to her. "Are you alright?"
"Sora, let's take the raft and go!" Kairi said out loud. "Just the two of us!"
"Huh?" Sora said in surprise.
"Only kidding!" Kairi laughed. "I had you there for a second!"
"Ha, you didn't fool me." Sora joked. "I think you're the one that's changed."
"Maybe. You know what? I was afraid of going at first, but now I'm ready." Kairi said softly. "Even if I do leave, I know I can come back, right?"
"Of course." Sora nodded. "Would I lie to you?"
Kairi nodded in agreement. She knew Sora was always trustworthy, "That's good. Sora, don't ever change."
Kairi then stood up to get a better view of the horizon.
"Huh?
"I can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great." Kairi said.
Kairi headed for her boat while Sora stayed behind. He looked out towards the horizon and thought to himself what worlds were out there. He still had the paopu fruit thing going on his mind. Sora got up and headed home for his island. Upon arriving home, he remained silent and walked up into his room. He sat on his bed and looked out the window.
Back at Peach's Castle; Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, and Peach were all seated in the living area. The room was huge with a giant library, pictures of the mushroom people, and a fireplace at the corner. Peach was eagerly waiting for Luigi to read the letter.
"Luigi, are you going to read the letter?" Peach asked impatiently.
"Okey-dokey." Luigi said holding up the letter. Clearing his throat, he read the letter. "Dear, Luigi. Sorry I rushed off in hurry without saying good-bye, but something terrible has happened, so I had to leave. For some strange reason stars have been going out across many of our worlds. I believe that these stars are the worlds we live in. If that wasn't as bad, the Star Rod atop Star Road has been stolen again, so I had to leave to investigate. Our world is in danger as well, but do not threat because there is a solution. Soon a very special person with a key will show up and that key is the key to our survival. I need you and Yoshi to find him and stay with him. Understand? Unless we don't have that key, we're doomed. I need you to get Peach out of Toad Town and go to an island called Isle Delfino. I originally planed a vacation there for me and her, but when this tragedy struck, I had to cancel the trip. I already took care of the tickets, and the Toad Express should take you over there. When you get to Isle Delfino I need you and Yoshi to find a man named Leon. He'll help you find the key. Luigi, from what I heard the boos have something to do with this goings on, so I suggest brining the Poltergust 3000, just to be on the safe side. Good Luck. Love, Mario. P.S. Tell Peach I'm sorry. Thanks little bro."
"Oh, my! What should we do?" Daisy said in a worried tone.
"We must have faith in Mario." Peach said folding her hands. "For years he and Luigi have defended are kingdom from the evil Koopa tribe and I trust what he's doing."
"Yoshi worried about Mario, too." Yoshi agreed sadly.
"Don't worry, Peach." Luigi smiled, assuring everyone. "I assure you, my brother and this key will be found."
"Yeah, Yoshi help too!" Yoshi said happily.
"Thank you. Both of you." Peach said with a smile.
"I heard about Isle Delfino." Luigi said crossing his arms. "It's the only world that is right near by the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Yoshi thought it was part of the Mushroom Kingdom." Yoshi said.
"Sort of." Peach said. "Isle Delfino is so close that we exchanged goods with it, but people have to fly down there considering it's a different world."
"Hey, I'll hold down the fort till you three get back." Daisy announced.
"But what if something bad happens to you, Daisy?" Luigi asked worryingly.
Luigi took Daisy's hands. He didn't want to lose one of those most important people he loved. Considering the fact that she is his girlfriend.
"Don't worry, Luigi." Daisy said comfortingly. "Even if something happens to me, I'll always think of you."
Luigi blushed and Peach walked over to Luigi.
"I almost forgot. Toadsworth shall be joining us, chronicling our travels." Peach said.
An old mushroom person entered with a walking stick. He wore a vest with a purple button down shirt. He had a giant white moustache and the dots on his mushroom head were brown. He also has reading glasses on. This was apparently Toadsworth.
"Ah, master Luigi." He said, greeting Luigi. "I shall be keeping entries in my journal on your many adventures. Not only that, but I'm also joining you to keep an eye out for the princess. After all, I am very loyal to her."
"Thank you, Toadsworth." Peach said with a smile.
"Good luck guys!" Daisy called as they began to leave.
"Good luck!" Yoshi called.
Luigi rolled his eyes and grabbed Yoshi's arm, "You're coming, too!"
The four left the castle and headed towards the Toad Express.
"Kid, we need to talk for a second." Luigi said, pulling Yoshi aside.
"Aw, but Yoshi want to fly now." Yoshi whined.
"I know, but this won't take long." Luigi said groaning. "Here's the deal; now while we're in other worlds, we can't lead onto where we're from or medal in the affairs of them."
"Why?" Yoshi asked.
"Because if we do, big trouble will happen and everything would get messed up" Luigi responded. "So, I suggest keeping it quite."
"Oh, Yoshi see." Yoshi understood. "Yoshi and Luigi got to protect the world border."
Luigi rolled his eyes as they began to move towards the plane.
"Um, it's order." corrected Luigi
"Oh, Yoshi knew that." Yoshi giggled.
Luigi sighed and the two of them headed over to the Toad Town airport. There was a giant airplane waiting for them upon arrival.
"Master Luigi and Yoshi, glad you could make." Toadsworth said running up to them. "We have all of your things packed, including the Poltergust 3000."
"Why did you go through my things without asking?" Luigi asked upset.
"Sorry, Luigi. We're in a bit of a rush." Peach said. "We need to get there by tomorrow morning so we can check into the hotel."
"Okay! Then let's-a-go!" Luigi announced.
Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and Toadsworth walked up the stairs and boarded the plane. Luigi, Toadsworth, and Peach sat in big red seats. Luigi pressed a button and a small yellow hole appeared in the wall. Luigi grabbed it and called into it.
"This is Luigi here." Luigi called into the hole. "Luigi Mario to launch crew! Come in launch crew!"
In the control tower were two mushroom like creatures. They had small feet, but no hands. One was a female pink one with a mine helmet on, a small tie on her chest, and a long strip of blonde hair. The second one had white hair on each side of him and glasses with swirly colors on them. The pink mushroom walked over to a microphone and leaned her mouth towards it.
"This is Goombella here." she responded. "Are you ready for take off?"
"Yes!" Luigi responded. "Anytime you're ready."
Goombella then turned to the other mushroom creature. She felt disappointed upon seeing he was asleep.
"Professor Frankly!" she shouted. "Wake up! We need to get ready for launch!"
Professor Frankly got startled and quickly jolted over to the other side of the room. He jumped onto the table and pressed a button with his foot. Meanwhile, Luigi sat back in his seat waiting for the take off. Yoshi jumped onto Peach's lap.
"Aren't you excited, Yoshi?" Peach asked Yoshi.
"Very excited." Yoshi responded excitedly. "Yoshi can't wait to get to new world."
The pilot of the plane got a radio call from Goombella giving the okay to go. Luigi looked out the window and waved to Daisy, who waved back. The Toad Express turned to the run way and the engine fired up.
"Hang on everyone! We're taking off!" Toadsworth announced with enthusiasm.
The ship took off the runway and flew into the darkness of space, with many Toad Town citizens waving flags saying "Good-bye" or "Bon voyage"
Back at Destiny Island, Riku stood out on the deck of his house. He was troubled by something. He saw the wind move rapidly. Looking up, he saw a giant red ball surrounded by dark waves. He's never encountered anything quite like that before.
"I've never seen a storm like that before." He said in surprise. "Something is not right. I think better check it out."
As he began to leave, he heard eerie voices calling to him. The boy became frightened as he looked around for who or what was saying that.
"The door is opening." the voice said
"Wh-who's there?" Riku asked nervously.
"Your destiny has come, the darkness is coming. The worlds are open."
Riku went into a trans like state and walked off. If was as if someone took over all of his senses. Meanwhile, Kairi saw Riku from her bedroom window taking his raft to the island.
"Riku?" Kairi asked in surprise. "Why is he going to the island? I better go see."
Kairi jumped out her window and got on her raft and followed Riku to the island.
Sora lied on his bed in his bedroom, holding the paopu fruit.
"Should I real give it to Kairi?" Sora said to himself. "Is this what I really want to do?"
His room was small with a drawer and a closet. Sora looked up to see a giant toy sailboat he had. He began to hear Kairi's voice inside of his mind.
"I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it will be great."
Sora then looked out his window and saw the storm on Destiny Island.
"A storm?" Sora said baffled. He then realized something to his horror. "Oh, no! The raft!" Sora changed into his day clothes and jumped out the window as he heard his mother calling him for dinner. Sora decided to worry about the raft first. He got on his little boat and rowed his way to the island, rowing as fast as he could. Upon arrival at the dock, he saw a giant black ball. "What on earth is that?" He's then noticed Riku and Kairi's boats. "Riku and Kairi are here! I wonder why?" Sora then tried calling for them but there was no response. Then, little dark creatures appeared in front of him making him gasp. "I've seen these creatures before! In my dreams!" Sora took out his sword and attacked one, but it had no effect.
"Okay, these things can't be affected by my attacks." Sora groaned. "Better run!" Sora quickly made a run for it and the shadows chased after him. Sora then looked towards the little island across the bridge and saw Riku standing there. "Riku!" He shouted. Sora avoided more shadows and finally made it over the bridge and ran to Riku who had his eyes closed looking away. "Riku, what's going on? Where's Kairi? Is she with you?"
"The door has open." Riku said under his breath.
"What did you say?" Sora asked suspiciously
"The door has open, Sora!" Riku said, turning to Sora. "Do you know what this means?"
"Um, were going to Disneyland?" Sora asked sarcastically.
"Stop fooling around!" Riku snapped. "It means we can finally go to the outside world! What we hoped for has become a reality!"
"What about Kairi? We can't go without her!" Sora said angrily
"Kairi's coming with us!" Riku snapped. "Once we step through the other side, we might not come back. We'll never see our friends and our family again. It's a chance I'm willing to take, there's no turning back. We can't let fear stop us! The darkness can come, but it won't scare me, because I'm not afraid of it. You shouldn't be afraid either, Sora!" Riku then extended his hand to Sora. "Come with me, and together we'll discover our destiny."
"But Riku-"
All of a sudden a dark wave appeared below Riku's feet. The darkness began to eat at his body. Sora tried to save him, but ended up getting caught by the darkness himself. Riku still had his hand out to Sora as Sora tried to grab it. But soon the darkness absorbed them both. Sora felt like he couldn't breath and that he was dying, but then he saw a light, a bright light that covered his eyes.
When he opened them he saw that he was back on the island, with no sign of Riku. Sora could feel something in his hand. As he looked down, he gasped in surprise.
"What is this?"
Sora held up a giant sword which was shaped like a key. The handle was grey with a square around it that was yellow. In the back he noticed a chain with a silver mushroom on the end of it. The blade itself was grey.
"Is this a key? Or maybe a blade?" he pondered to himself. He then heard voices in head.
"Keyblade..." the voice said. "Keyblade..."
Another shadow appeared behind Sora and tried to attack him, but Sora swung at it with his keyblade and destroyed it.
"Whoa! This keyblade must have the power to destroy these things!" Sora shouted in amazement.
Soon more shadows attacked Sora. He quicky ran at one and slashed it to pieces. Another one rammed him, causing him to fall off the little island. Sora stood up and threw his keyblade at the shadow that hit him, killing it. The keyblade then appeared back in his hand. Sora was completely stunned
"It came back to me when I threw it!"
Another shadow jumped at him, but Sora rolled out of the way and kicked it aside. While it was down, Sora struck it with full force, obliterating it. He's never felt such power before. It was like he transformed into a whole other person. Sora then noticed a strange door covering up the secret place.
"I don't remember that door being there. Better check it out!"
Sora ran as fast as he could to the door. While trying to get there shadows tried to stop him, but he knocked the shadows away with his keyblade. Sora finally reached the door and opened it, making him arrive at the secret place. Upon reaching the center he saw Kairi staring at the brown door.
"Kairi, I found you!"
To Sora's horror, he saw Kairi as pale as a ghost. Her eyes were almost completely closed. She had her eyes fixed on him with a zombie like stare.
"Sora..." she said weakly.
Kairi put her hand out towards him when the brown door opened, reveling dark winds gushing out. The wind pushed Kairi at Sora who gasped. Sora puts his arms out ready to catch Kairi, but as he caught her in his arms, Kairi disappears. The wind then blew Sora out of the secret place and sent him flying onto a piece of the island. Sora crash landed on it and then stood up.
"Whoa! Where am I?" Sora said in shock.
Sora then turned around and noticed the same giant dark creature that he encountered in his dream looking down at him. Sora looked up at it with a shocked look.
"Oh, no! Not you again!"
Sora tried to run, but discovers there was nowhere to run. Sora took a deep breath and drew his keyblade and turned to face the Darkside. Thus, the rematch between Sora and Darkside began. Sora ran at Darkside with his keyblade out ready to strike, when it slammed it's fist into the ground creating more shadows like last time. Sora ran through the creatures striking them down with his keyblade.
A few clashed with him, but Sora managed to take them down. The Darkside grabbed Sora again and this time threw him at the edge of the island. Sora grabbed onto the edge and jumps back up. The Darkside fired more beams at Sora, and he deflected them back at the creature like last time.
"Ha! His moves are so predictable!" The Darkside then shot three at him. "Then again I could be wrong!"
Sora deflected one back, but got hit by the other two causing him to fall. He got up breathing heavily from the attack. "I'm not giving up yet!" The darkside puts it's hand into the air and created a giant energy ball. He then smashed it with his other hand sending little beams at Sora.
The boy quickly rolled out of the of a few, and then deflected some away. Darkside slammed his fist at Sora sending him flying into a tree. Sora weakly got up and breathed harder. He wouldn't last much longer against the giant monster.
"At this rate, I could get killed! There has to be another way to beat him!"
Sora then noticed the Darkside's hand was still in the ground. Acting quickly, Sora ran up the Darkside's hand and brought his keyblade down on it, causing it to scream in pain. The darkside back up from Sora and flew into the storm. Sora was out of breath, but he laughed from the victory.
"I won!" he laughed weakly.
He then fell over and fainted from being exhausted. He felt the force of gravity pulled him into the storm. Everything went blank.
