A/N: Please read and review. I think this fic is almost finished. There might be about three more chapters but probably no more then that. Hope you enjoy reading this chapter.
Altogether there was 52 people walking towards the center of the crater in search of the dark citadel. All of them had their weapons drawn, ready to fight the heartless and whatever else they might find. Sora was a little worried that some of them had been there so long that they would probably act reckless but Lwn assured him it would be alright. So they kept walking and walking until they couldn't walk anymore.
"Take a break," LWN called to everyone. "We'll carry on in about half an hour."
Everyone gratefully sat down somewhere and pulled out what food they had. Since they were nobodies they no longer needed it but it was a habit which was hard to stop. Sora walked over and sat down next to LWN.
"Are you nervous?" he asked.
"Nope," said LWN. "Why should I be?"
"I don't know," Sora replied. "But I get the feeling that we shouldn't be resting now, not here."
"Don't worry Sora, I'm sure everything is going to be fine."
Sora was not calmed one bit by LWN's reaction and so held the dream sword firmly in his hands and started pacing.
Less then a minute had passed when Sora stared into the surrounding shadows and said aloud to himself, "Are those shadows getting darker?" Then he shook his head and told himself that was impossible. After about three minutes he stared again into the surrounding shadows and got the distinct impression that they were a lot thicker then they had been before. Again he had to reassure himself that everything was fine.
Suddenly someone screamed. Another person yelled out "AMBUSH!"
Sora knew immediately that he had been right and headed towards ths source of the cry. Neo-shadow heartless (from deep dive) were appearing everywhere. Sora stared at LWN for help but LWN was fighting several heartless and was too busy to notice anything else.
"Fine!" Sora yelled, jumping into the fray attacking several heartless at once. One of them leapt into the air and then dived down at Sora, mouth open as if to take a bite. Sora braced for impact but none came. He looked up and then over his shoulder to see what had happened and he saw Alexa landing on the ground behind him.
Alexa was doing well but she was the only one. There was at least 10 heartless for every one of Sora and LWNs people and it was a losing battle. Elchanan was swamped and even though he was doing a good job holding them off it was clear he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer. LWN had even more heartless to take care of then anyone else. A sharp pain in Sora's right arm alerted him to another heartless and also reminded him that he couldn't afford to watch anyone else. Sora elbowed the heartless in the face and it fell to the ground. Just as Sora raised the dream sword to strike down on the heartless he felt another sharp pain in his leg.
"Argh!" Sora groaned, falling to the ground. Suddenly a large group of heartless smothered Sora and he felt himself fading away.
"SORA!"
"Don't give up!"
Sora saw Donald and Goofy in his mind and felt their presence even though he knew they were in the realm of light. They would not want him to give up. Sora opened his eyes and saw blackness but knew now that he could not let himself fade away.
It was as if he'd got a second wind. Sora shoved the heartless off of him and then muttered "Ars Arcanum." Suddenly the sword glowed and for a second Sora swore it looked like a keyblade. Then it stopped glowing and started to swing and slash of it's own accord, with Sora left to hold on as tight as he could. An instant later the heartless that had covered him were gone. Unfortunately everyone else was still in trouble. Sora knew there was only one way that he could destroy all the heartless. The signs all lead him to his most powerful attack – first seeing Donald and Goofy, and then seeing a keyblade instead of a sword. It was no ordinary keyblade he had seen. It was long, golden and majestic. The blade was the same as his old one had been, indeed it could have been mistaken for the one that the king had if not for the handle. The handle was a blue semi-circle which spiked outwards so that the wielder would be able to swing it fast and hard depending on how they held it. All that could only mean that he was supposed to use it although whether or not it'd work . . . well that was a different story.
"Give me strength!" Sora said sternly, focusing his mind on what he was trying to do. A white light engulfed him and for a minute all the fighting stopped because the light was blinding especially since endless abyss is so dark. The dream sword flashed again to the majestic looking keyblade Sora had seen before and then it disappeared to be replaced by Oblivion and Oathkeeper which appeared on his back. When the light died down a little, everyone was able to see that Sora wasn't wearing the same clothes he'd been wearing before. Now he was dressed in clothes which flowed over him in black and white which looked beautiful when they were separated but even better in the few places that they met and made grey. (A/N: Sorry but that's the best description I could give on final form).
As if he was now some kind of magnet, all the heartless headed towards Sora who saw now that things had been worse then he'd realised. There was hundreds of heartless and now they were all trying to attack Sora.
LWNs army just watched, entranced by Sora's intense calm. Sora waited until there were heartless so close that he could breathe on them before withdrawing both keyblades and starting to attack. He swung them so fast that it looked like there were two fings of light around him. A heartless leapt at Sora who flipped over, again swinging the keyblades so fast that there seemed to be a vertical ring of light around him. Sora moved faster then light, destroying 10 or 20 heartless with every attack he made. He was more eager then he'd been before to destroy the heartless because now he could see something that no-one else seemed to be able to see. Every heartless he killed released a heart which floated up to the sky, glowed brightly and then disappeared. Sora knew that each heart was going back to it's owner because there were quite a lot of instances where one of two of LWNs army glowed. They did not seem to notice as they were transfixed by Sora's graceful manner of destroying all those heartless. Just when it looked like things would be over soon the sound of a loud, deep horn echoed through the air. Sora didn't want to look but he could tell by the heartless's reactions that whatever happened it would not be good.
A/N:Please review and here's a link to see what final form looks like if unfortunately you haven't seen it in game.
