Xaldin

Hurricane-force winds threw furniture everywhere. Sora charged Xaldin, who blocked the attack, butting him with a lance handle. Sora stumbled back, and Xaldin jumped him. Bouncing off air currents, he took potshots at Sora, forcing the Keyblade Master back towards the door. Donald peeked around the corner. "Fire!" Xaldin brushed it off with a wave of his hand, never stopping the assault. Sora flipped back into the doorway, then charged Xaldin again.

"Zantetsuken!" The combatants clashed. The spears wove into a shield as they were both knocked back by a blast of air. Sora drove the Keyblades into the ground, keeping him from flying back. He reverted back to normal as he touched ground again.

"I think you've realized by now," Xaldin walked over to the kneeling hero. "That you can't win. I'm going to destroy the Keyhole, using this world's heart to open the Door. Sadly," he continued. "You'll go with it." Xaldin was about to deliver the finishing blow, when Beast leapt over Donald and Goofy, then Sora, landing on the robed man.

"You! You're the traitor, not Sora!" Xaldin pushed Beast off with a small gust, then got up himself.

"Very good." He mocked them. "You've figured that out, monster." Beast roared, then lunged, missing. Xaldin knocked him into the wall. Beast rammed Xaldin through a dresser, who then retaliated with a lance barrage. He was about to attack again when a shot rang out, destroying a dresser nearby. Xaldin turned to the figure in the doorway. "You." He turned to Sora. "I'll be back." He stepped backwards, disappearing through a portal of darkness. Donald and Goofy watched as the man walked past them. Sora turned to him.

"Leon."

Squall walked over, helping Sora up. "We have to get to Hollow Bastion, now." Sora stumbled, getting up.

"What about the Key-"

"Forget the Keyhole. This is much more important." Sora looked confused.

"What is it?" Leon looked at Sora, who froze at the response.

"Kingdom Hearts."
