As you read this chapter I should make this clear, before Dav used a double bladed sword during his battle with Guard Armour. In this chapter he uses a different type of double bladed sword.

Guard Armour Fight Sword Model: ---------- ----- ----------

Chapter 8's Double Bladed Sword is a similar weapon to Cloud's Buster Sword except instead of having the one long blade, Dav's version has two blades that are the same length as Cloud's but are on the same side. Effectively it is two long blades on the same hilt on the same side. I know it would have been easier to create it with lines than explain it but its VERY complicated.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdon Hearts, Final Fantasy characters, or any elements of Disney at all. I do however own this plot and Dav, my original character, the other OC's are property of their respective owners.

Now on with the story, enjoy and remember... READ AND REVIEW...not just read!

Chapter 8: The Good, The Bad and The Heartless

"Well Cloud lets go, this is gonna be a challenge for us both to say the least" said Dav as he drew his weapons and took a glance at the other side of the ring where Cloud was already stood in a battle stance with his Buster Sword held out in front of him.

"Watch this for a new twist" informed Dav as he stood upright with both swords held above his head pointing up towards the as ever brilliantly blue sky. He closed his eyes and then a bright aura surrounded him and enveloped him, hiding him from view of Cloud and Aaron. As the light began to subside only a silhouette of Dav was visible behind the still bright light. Instead of wielding two long swords he now wielded a large sword similar in size to Cloud's except it had two blades, classing it as a double bladed sword. The light finally vanished and Dav stood there with the huge sword resting on his shoulder, clutching the long hilt in his right hand.

Dav and Cloud remained in their battle stances as the force field that surrounds the ring during combat appeared and signalled the opening of the match. Cloud extended his blade ahead of him and yelled as he charged towards Dav with great speed and power. Dav was immediately struck but rebounded and swung his huge blade horizontally from left to right with both hands and then brought it down onto Cloud for a powerful two hit combination attack. Cloud quickly recovered from the attack and jumped backwards, covering the entire ring in one jump.

"That all you've got?" shouted Cloud, he then followed his comment by charging forward again but this time Dav blocked the attack with his Double Bladed Sword. Instead of backing off, Cloud followed up his attack by jumping high in the air and holding his sword blade down aimed for Dav. Dav leaped backwards as Cloud landed, his sword went straight into the ground, causing a shadowy patch around it and then brought it back into his battle stance. Dav meanwhile held his blade forward with both hands and began to rotate on the spot, getting faster as he span. He then shouted "Get a load of this!" and let go of the huge bladed weapon and it flew straight towards Cloud who didn't get out of the way in time and it connected with his stomach. However instead of piercing his skin, the sword just sent Cloud hurling backwards because it was coated in a pale blue aura that stopped piercing and just delivered blunt damage. He flew across the arena and then landed against the force field which a slight sizzling sound as it powered up to full again as it had been slightly drained from Cloud striking it.

He returned to his feet slowly and grinned as he looked at Dav who had a focused expression of his face.

"Well... I see your better than I thought... well, its obviously true that you are related to me" grinned Cloud as he continued to look at Dav who was now grinning as well, rubbing the back of his head with his free left hand.

"You think too highly of your skills bro!" laughed Dav as Cloud faked an expression of offence. Before Dav could say anything else Cloud had charged straight at him with his sword extended out in front of him. Dav jumped high into the air and began spinning while he was in the air, creating a constant barrage of shockwaves which were created because of the strength of his attack. Cloud fell to the ground and then front rolled and jumped in the air, his body now emitting orange electricity which began to surge from his body. A black wing spouted from his back and opened out to reveal its true size, it looked like it had once been a white wing and then burned.

He flew towards Dav and swung his Buster Sword which hit him in the chest, sending him skidding backwards but not falling down. Dav then rolled and avoided another strike then another. After a further two evasions Dav was struck in the chest, this time causing him to clutch his chest in pain. He then straightened himself out and closed his eyes despite Cloud advancing on him. He swung at Dav again but the sword went right through him as if he were just an image and then it happened again. Dav opened his eyes suddenly and then let out a short cry of pain as two wings sprouted from his back, one of black colour and one in white.

They flexed themselves in full size as Cloud looked on in disbelief as Dav commented almost breathlessly as if he had been winded

"...Yep...it is true...I am related to you...huh?"

Dav gripped the hilt of his Double Bladed Sword tightly with both hands and then raised above his head for an attack but halted when something happened. A huge flash of darkness filled the arena and there stood in between Cloud and Dav who were at opposite ends of the ring another figure. He had silver flowing hair that reached his shoulders and piercing yellow eyes that resembled that of a Shadow's, his red and black clothing giving him a look of an evil wizard. He was also accompanied by a single Shadow heartless.

"Am...I interrupting something? No matter, my name is Orachron and am I here to tell you that your friend, the girl, has been captured by the darkness because it thinks that she is one of the Princesses of Heart. You however will not be so lucky for I will destroy you..." With that he disappeared in a small flash of shadow and reappeared behind Dav with a long, blackcurved sword in his right hand.

"Look out!" yelled Could but it was to late, he drove the curved blade into Dav's back and it travelled right through him and reappeared out of his front. He retracted the blade and smirked as Dav fell to his knees and clutched the stab wound. A heartless symbol appeared on his front and his hair changed to a black colour and his eyes turned red. He returned to his feet and rested his Sword on his shoulder as he grinned evilly.

"Now my slave, destroy the one whom you hold dear...save him from his suffering.." but before he could finish Dav kicked him in the stomach and then punched him in the face knocking him out which caused him to hit the floor with a thump.

"Cann it, I'll do what I want old man... prepare to die mortals!" he hissed as he glared at Cloud and Aaron who stared at him in disbelief.

A bit of a cliff hanger, huh? What will happen to Dav, Cloud and Aaron? Will Terri be found in time or will the darkness take her heart, find out in the next chapter... The Heart of The Matter!
