Hello, Hello, Hello everyone!

My God have I been lazy, I'm sorry for the wait, please forgive me. First off I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it. By the way, if you've ever played the Legend of Dragoon, then in this chapter, a very spcial character from the game makes a cameo appearance as a younger version of himself.

One other thing I've been forgetting to put in my fic is the copyright so, here it goes: All characters, places, and random stuff in Kingdom Heart belongs to their respective owners except for Dimitri and my world: Moon City

Enjoy,

Chapter 7

Showdown At Twilight

Part 1

After our heroes had liberated Hollow Bastion from the Darkness, they were honored with a celebration that went deep into the night. We now find everyone all bundled up at the local Inn, still sleeping as it was only still early in the morning, but unlike the others, Dimitri was the first to wake up. After dressing himself and fixing his bed(as custom to show the Innkeeper appreciation), he crept downstairs and out the door, running as fast as he could towards the Dark Depths. Unbeknownst to him however, Leon was at the nearby wall...thinking as usual, until the sounds of his steps had grabbed his attention. Fast-forwarding to an hour later, Sora woke up, his spiky hair messed up(can you imagine that!) and his eyes still tired. After also dressing himself in his usual black attire, The others woke up with a start just in time for breakfast. While at the table, Sora finally realized Dimitri was missing and bought it up...

Sora: Hey, has anyone seen Dimitri?

Riku: His clothes were gone and his bed was made when I checked...

Kairi: He probably just went into town for a bit, which reminds me, we need to stock up on supplies. Hey, that's what we'll do, Sora, you go and find Dimitri and me and Riku'll will go shopping for supplies for our journey.

Riku: I do want to check out the accessory shop...

Sora: Okay, I'll go find Leon and the Committee, they'll know where he ran off too.

And with that, everyone departed off after breakfast. While Riku and Kairi were out shopping...

Kairi: Let's see...10 Potions, 10 Super Potions, 10 Tents(how they carry those I'll never knowO.O), 6 Mage Earrings, 5 Mythril Bangles...

Riku: check, check, check...

This could take awhile...anyway, Sora, after consulting with Leon, found out Dimitri went to the Dark Depths in quite a hurry, he was hot on the trail. On the way out of town however, he spotted Dimitri walking towards the town...

Sora: Yo Dimitri, where have you been?

Dimitri: Oh nothing...just training...it's not important, but where are the others?

Sora: They're out shopping so we should head for the Gummy Ship and wait.

Dimitri: Good idea.

And so, after everyone else assembled at the Gummi Ship, they blasted off...this time however Dimitri was the one to pilot since anytime Sora was allowed to drive, he usually couldn't resist doing a bunch of flips and such during the flight(which I'm too lazy to post this time). After a flight, while they didn't encounter Heartless...

Sora: Sure is quiet today...

Riku: Yep...

Sora: Too quiet...

Riku:whacks Sora with a paper fan Don't jinx it!

Sora: sorry...

After several tiny bits of conversation, they finally reached Twilight Town and walked through the town gates. As they walked in however, something in Sora stirred, only noticed by him and Kairi.

Sora: Roxas...

Kairi: I think...He's glad to be back.

Sora: Yeah...

Heiner: HEYYYYY!

Sora: Heiner, is that you!

Heiner: Hey Sora, how've you been. I see Kairi's here with you too.

Kairi: Hi Heiner, where's Pence and Ollette?

Heiner: Back at The Usual Spot, c'mon, boy will they be happy to see you!

Sora: Oh wait, Heiner, there's a couple of friends I want you to me..

Heiner: Wait till we get back.

And so, Sora and Kairi ran off with Heiner, with Riku and Dimitri tagging along. After a few twists and turns here and there, the group finally reached the Usual Spot.

Sora: Hey Pence, Ollette!

Pence & Ollette: Sora, Kairi, welcome back!

Kairi: How have you guys been?

Pence: Fine if you count the fact Summer's almost over...

Ollette: That's right, we still haven't done our project. Were dead unless we think of something...

Sora: Good luck on that, oh by the way, there's two people I'd like you to meet...

Sora glanced around and found Riku relaxing on the sofa, reading a book he had found, while Dimitri was leaning against the nearby wall, his head cast down in thought...

Sora: Okaypoints to Riku, this is my other best friend Riku...

Riku: Hello...

Ollettegiggles: I like your hair.

Riku: Ummm...thanks...O.O

Sora: And this is Dimitri...

Dimitri: ...

Kairi: Go on, don't be shy...

Dimitri: ...hi...

Sora: So, guys, now that were here, and there isn't any Heartless activity...what should we do...?

Heiner: That's what I was going to ask you guys, there's a Struggle Tournament today and since you showed up, maybe you guys could have a go. So, whaddya' say?

Sora: I don't know, we should get going soon...

Dimitri: Sora, This tournament sounds like the perfect opportunity to brush up on our skills, and since most of the fighters are from other worlds, we may be able to find some information about #14...

Sorathinking: He just won a fight against a dragon..and he needs to practice...scary...O.O...

Riku: You have a point Dimitri...

Sora: Okay then it's settled...we'll participate...

Heiner: It's about to start so hurry down by the Sandlot, but watch out for Seifer...I don't think I need to tell you why...

Dimitri: Whose Seifer...?

Sora: The biggest jerk in the universe...

Dimitri: If that's so...then I look forward to a match with him...

Sora, Riku, Dimitri, and Heiner hurried down to the Sandlot and made it just in time to sign up and receive their Struggle swords. As soon as they were ready, they went up to the promoter and listened to the rules. After 5 minutes of extreme boredom, the gong sounded and Sora and Heiner were the first two fighters, while Riku and Dimitri remained at the sidelines on the benches with the other fighters...

Riku: There are a lot more kids than Sora had told me...

Indeed it was true, young fighters from 13 to 19 all came from different Worlds. Some were dressed in old fashioned clothes, some were dressed in ordinary street clothes, this one kid with blonde hair even had a yellow monkey tail!

Dimitri: Sure is a...unique gathering...

Voice: Is this seat taken...

Dimitri: hmm...

Dimitri and Riku looked up to see a tall young man, about 18 or so, standing in front of them. What made Riku gasp, was the fact that he looked almost like an exact human clone of Dimitri. He was dressed in a black leather vest along with a pair of gauntlets on his hands, leather pants tucked into knee-high boots(also black...duh). What was even stranger was the fact that he too had short, platinum hair...Despite Riku's confusion, Dimitri calmly looked up at the stranger and moved to the side, gesturing for him to take a seat...

Mystery Fighter: Thanks...the names Lloyd by the way...

Dimitri: Pleased to meet you Lloyd, I'm Dimitri, and this is Riku...

Riku: Hi...

Riku moved over a bit towards Dimitri and began to whisper in his ear...

Riku: Umm...Dimitri, do you notice that...

Dimitri: He looks just like me...what a coincidence...

Riku: Did you ever meet him before...?

Dimitri: ...No...--

Just then, another Gong sounded as Sora and Heiner walked back in, Sora had apparently won the match. As soon as they took a seat, a voice rang out..

Promoter: Our next two matches are...Dimitri vs. Lloyd and Riku vs. Seifer!

The crowd went wild as the four fighters divided into two sets and climbed up on separate stages.

Match 1

Seifer: Nice haircut, loser!

Riku: Big talkers are usually weak...

Match 2

Lloyd:raises sword Do your best...

Dimitri: ...same for you...

And at the sound of the gong, the fights began!

To Be Continued...

I know, Iknow, another 2-parter, but I promise to make it good. R&R and NO FLAMES(sorry, but it's a thing i have to make sure of)
