KeyofOblivion: Hello once more fellow writers. First off, sorry for the wait for my next chapter(I didn't have any ideas until today so I whipped this us, and then I could gte onto Fanfic for some reason so), but I hope you enjoy it and OMFG, ATTENTION ALL FANS...CLOUD MAKES A GUEST APPEARANCE!

Cloud: Whaddya' mean "guest appearance", I've been included in all three Kingdom Hearts games as a big-time character, final fantasy fans around the world could be heard screaming when they saw me!

KeyofOblivion: Ya, including all of these rabid fangirls I just released.

Cloud: What...

Fangirls(foaming at the mouth): CLOUD, LET'S GLOMP HIM!

Cloud(whips out Buster Sword and starts to defend against the oncoming horde of fangirls: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...SO...MUCH...GLOMPING!

Dimitri: No fangirls where harmed in the making of this short piece of random crap...

KeyofOblivion: And now, ON WITH THE SHOW!

Chapter 5

Heartless Alert: Part 2

Picking from where we last left off, Our heroes had arrived in Hollow Bastion just in time to witness the town being attacked by Corrupted Nobodies. Being the good-natured group that they are, our group split into two teams (Dimitri, Riku, and Kairi Sora, Donald, and Goofy). While Dimitri and his team where out helping Leon as well as the rest of the Restoration Committee, Sora, Donald, and Goofy has just found the mystery man and were about to attack just as he summoned an enormous Twilight Dragon and dissappeared, leaving them to be devoured by the beast...

Sora: Were in trouble...

The Dragon let out a mighty roar and lunged it's neck, aiming to strike Sora and his group as they where to paralyzed with fear to move. As the Dragon came closer to it's target, it suddenly let out a roar of pain as a Buster Sword had been plunged into it's back along with a certain spikey-haired warrior pushing it deeper into his enemy's body.

Sora, Donald, Goofy: Cloud!

Cloud: Run!

Sora: But why...

Cloud: I said run!

Sora gave a regretful look and carried Mickey on his back while Doanld and Goofy followed close behind as they headed back along the Ravine Trail. Suddenly, Sora stopped and set Mickey gently against a nearby wall.

Sora: Donald, Goofy, take the King and go and find Dimitri, I'm going back to help Cloud!

Goofy: Gawrsh Sora, but I thought Cloud sa...

Sora: I can't just leave him!

Mickey: Sora...

Sora: King Mickey...

Mickey: If you must, go and help Cloud, he is your friend after all

Sora: Don't move, you'll...!

Mickey: I'm fine, but listen...remember that all of the corrupted Nobodies, including that Dragon, are nonexistent beings now contaminated with Darkness and therefore cannot truly be defeated, although...

Sora: Although...

Mickey: They can be purged of the powers of Darkness if you and Dimitri destroy where they come together as one and then Seal it like you would with a Keyhole. This will make the Dragon vulnerable and you will defeat it. If you succeed, all of the Nobodies in this world will fall. For now, hold off the Dragon until Dimitri get's here.

Sora: Got it!

With that, Sora rushed back to the Dark depths with his Keyblade ready, while Donald Goofy, and the King(who had just been healed with a Hi- Potion; why didn't I think of that before, LOL!), ran into town to find Dimitri and the gang locked in combat with Nobodies.

Dimitri: Where's Sora!

Kairi: Is he alright?

Mickey: He went back to help Cloud defeat the Dragon.

Aerith, Yuffie, Leon: Cloud!

Mickey: He told me to go and get you Dimitri, he needs the Second Keyblader.

Dimitri: Okay, I'll head down...Riku, Kairi, stay here and help the King get to the Gummi Ship, you'll be safe there.

Riku: But what about you.

Kairi: We can't just leave you!

Dimitri: Who said anything about blasting off without me or Sora, I meant just goto the ship and get inside so the Nobodies can't get to you...

Riku & Kairi: Got it!

Dimitri ran towards the Dark Depth, avoiding any of the Nobodies along the way until he reached Sora and Cloud struggling to kill the Dragon.

Sora: Dimitri!

Dimitri: Am I too late?

Cloud: Whose he...?

Dimitri: We'll take care of the introductions later...

Sora: Let's go!

BATTLE START!

Dimitri started off the fight by casting Aero on the entire party while Sora high jumped onto the Dragon's back and began to attack the base of the neck. Cloud's demon wing materialized and he flew up and began to rapidly slash it's head. Dimitri jumped up and used Ragnarok on the main body. Despite their efforts, nothing seemed to be working...

Dimitri: What the hell...nothing works

Sora: So what do we do...

Sora suddenly remembered what the King had said earlier and excitedly shouted...

Sora: The King!

Dimitri & Cloud: What about him...?

Sora: He said that you and me have to observe the Dragon and expose it's weakness and then Seal it to defeat it. I think what he meant was that we're supposed to look for "where both are joined as one" and attack "it" in order to Seal this thing.

Dimitri: What did he me...

Sora & Dimitri: The Crest!

All three of them looked up and saw the merged crests of the Heartless and Nobody at the center of the Dragon's chest as a confident smile flashed on Sora's face.

TEAM ATTACK!

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

KNIGHTS OF ROUND

All three of them dashed with purely inhuman speed to three different directions while leaving a trail of light. These lights then merged into a triangle surrounding the Dragon as Sora, Dimitri, and Cloud all ran up the cliff-side, and then pushing off like the ricochet of a bullet towards the dragon's crest. Each of their weapons connected cleanly with their target, Sora and Cloud both piercing straight through with Dimitri finishing up with both of his Keyblades slicing in a X-style fashion. This attack continued two more times with Sora and Cloud both ending the attack. At once, the Twilight Dragon froze in place as a Keyhole appeared on it's forehead. The world around both Keyblades dissolved as Light engulfed them and the Dragon. Both Keybladers raised their Keyblades as a beam of light shot out and struck the Keyhole, followed with the familiar sound a door locking. The Dragon, unfrozen now, let out one last roar as it dissolved into particles of energy until not a single trace remained...

In unison of it's roar, every Nobody in Hollow Bastion let out a piercing scream and dissolved into light as well. Kairi glanced up to spot the victors walking into the gates to town just as the sun was setting.

Kairi: They won...

Everyone else: what?

Kairi: THEY WON!

Kairi, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey dashed towards our two heroes to greet them and congratulate them on victory and a celebration was held deep into the night, but one remained away from the festivities. Cloud leaned against a nearby wall with his head sunk down, thinking...until a certain girl in pink came up to him, smiling...

Aerith: Your back...

Cloud: Am...I forgiven...

Aerith: You don't need to be...

Cloud: I...just wanted to make sure...

Aerith: As I said...there is nothing that you need to be forgiven for, now, don't act so "lone wolf" and come...

: Why are you acting like this, you won didn't you

Cloud: Tifa...

Cloud looked up just as a raven-haired girl walked over to him, also smiling...

Cloud: I just...

Tifa: Like Aerith said, stop that loner bit a come celebrate!

Cloud: Aerith...Tifa...my friends...

Aerith & Tifa: That's right!

Cloud: Okay...

Cloud took his friend's hands and walked over to join in on the celebration and for the first time in his life, he smiled for everyone, as the pale light of the moon reflected the shine of a silvery tear of final peace and happiness that had fallen from his face...

Nothing more to say except R&R and NO FLAMES OR I'LL SEND MY TWILIGHT DRAGON AFTER YOU!
