Chapter 15: A Tournament To Far

The huge doors to the Olympus Coliseum slowly opened to reveal a tall muscular figure with spiky red hair and matching red eyes wearing a white tank top with a black trench coat over and a pair of black trousers. He also had a ring on his right index finger and a dragon symbol on his forehead. He walked through the into the main courtyard and stood in the centre of it and took in the fantastic sights of the Coliseum.

"...I'm finally here" the man said as he smiled to himself and then headed for the lobby where Phil and Hercules where waiting.

"OH YAY! Your here, your here"

"Ack! I wasn't gone long settle down..." voiced Dav slightly winded as Aaron hugged him tightly around the waist.

"Dav, do you want to enter the tournament? We can only enter in teams of two but I think its going to be fun, huh?" informed Terri as she held the hilt of her katana loosely.

"Umm... sure, why not how about everyone else?" Dav agreed as Aaron released her hug while blushing.

"Yes, a chance to prove my skills in combat against you Dav" mused Craxte.

"Okay, I'll go with Aaron" said Andrew as he nodded.

"Afraid not folks, your pairings are drawn at random and so far you guys and some one else are entered so I'll draw the first two names" announced Phil who was perched on top of a stone block. "The first two are... Craxte Greystorm and Aaron Thomas. The next two are Terri Sky and Andrew Thomas and final pair are Dav Strife and...Ashura Dragoon"

"...Who?" enquired Dav.

"Some tough looking guy with red hair, not a friendly looking guy but you'll see for yourself kid"

The two pairs of combatants sat in the spectators steps as Dav stepped into the ring and brought his Great Blade onto his shoulder. The doors to the arena opened and the red haired man walked through (now equipped with Gauntlets) and stepped into the ring and beside his partner and adjusted the Gauntlet on his right hand with his left hand.

"I hope you are a formidable force in battle or else this won't be very challenging" Ashura voiced in a slightly gruff voice.

"I'm better than most, don't you worry and the names Dav by the way...Ashura" Dav said as Ashura nodded as the invisible wall appeared around the arena and several Heartless (ten Soldiers and three Defenders) phased into the other side of the arena. Ashura and Dav stood in their respective battle positions and waited for the signal to begin which Phil gave a few seconds after.

Ashura wasted no time in running forward and somersaulting in the air and landing in between a group of four Soldiers and Dav vanished a flash of soft yellow light and reappeared between two Defenders. Ashura used his left arm to block a spinning kick and used his right to slam straight into the Heartless' face which instantly dispatched it. He followed up by delivering a uppercut to another's face and then planting a powerful kick into the third's stomach. The fourth caved in and disappeared under a powerful fist to the top of its head.

Dav meanwhile blocked a shield swipe from a Defender with his Great Blade and swiped his Keyblade across it's armoured chest causing it to fall back stunned. He next used his crimson Keyblade as a boomerang and hurled it at the second (similar to Sora's Strike Raid) which connected with not only the Defender but three Soldiers as well who all vanished in a cloud of shadow. The first Defender regained its bearings and launched a huge fireball from the face in it's shield at Dav who rolled to the side but dropped his Great Blade and was now defenceless... almost. He dodged another fire blast and then stood upright and closed his eyes, strange black glyphs circled his now glowing body.

He suddenly opened his eyes and held his right arm out in front of him, palm outstretched and uttered "Flare". Both Defenders that were attacking him were suddenly stood on two orange circles which began to glow and then a circular wall of orange flames erupted, circling around and then covering them. The Heartless made no sound, just gave looks of unbearable pain and then vanished leaving two hearts to float into the air.

Ashura jumped over a Defender's horizontal shield swipe and planted both boots into it's head and flipping behind it, then with a massive surge of power his right foot glowed with an intense white aura and side kicked the Defender into its back which let out a crunch and then it also disappeared. He then ducked down as two Soldier Heartless both attempted a spin kick from either side but missed and collided with each other and then for good measure were both nailed with a double uppercut from Ashura. Dav finished off the last Heartless with a vertical slice of his Great Blade which cut through the Soldier like a hot knife through butter.

The invisible barrier fizzled out of existence as Dav and Ashura walked out of the ring and toward the spectator seats where the other party members were waiting.

"Guys, this is Ashura Dragoon" Ashura nodded toward the group who all nodded in return apart from Aaron...

"Ooohhh your so strong, your attacks are amazing, how did you get so strong?" Aaron said a fast pace toward Ashura who was stood in front of Dav. She then approached Ashura and looked as if she had seen an angel of great beauty, Ashura however looked a little scared.

"Well, its all a matter of train..." be began but Aaron ignored him and wondered straight past him and stood before Dav who grinned but then instantly changed his expression when Aaron approached. Without warning she leapt at Dav who had an expression of pure fear but she stopped in mid air as if floating a second later. Ashura had extended his arm and cast Stop on the hyperactive teen just in time.

"...Thanks, she gets a little carried away with things"

"Hey, what's the big idea casting magic on her like that. No one does that to my sister like that" yelled Andrew as he clutched his daggers in a battle position, ready to strike while Terri was practically splitting her sides with laughter and Craxte grinned.

"Calm down Andrew, its not like it was Thundaga or anything, besides you and Terri are up next so get moving" grinned Dav who was trying desperately to hold back laughter. Andrew nodded and headed to the ring with Terri who was still smiling slightly.

They both moved into position and the wall reappeared again and twelve Shadows, three Wyverns and a Large Body phased into the ring at the other side. Terri began by casting a protective wind barrier around the pair and then charging toward the large group of Shadows that where slinking where way through the floor toward them. She ran straight through the middle of a group of four who were knocked far away by the Aeroga spell and into the barrier that hissed slightly as they impacted.

Andrew stabbed through two of them and then jumped into the air and cast a powerful Blizzara spell toward them which dispatched another three. He followed up by jumping on the Large Body's back that had just belly flopped onto the floor as a result of a failed attack and landed on a Wyvern's back. He clutched a dagger with one hand and while holding on to the bird like form's back and plunged it into the Heartless' back, causing it to cry out in pain and then dissolve almost into the air.

Terri meanwhile had avoided the Large Body's attack and used her katana to repeatedly slash away at its venerable back. It jumped up and down in anger and charged toward her with extreme force but she swiped her katana onto its large build, this stopped it from charging and confused it as it scratched its head. She ran around to the back and with one final powerful blow sent the confused Heartless into oblivion. She then closed her hands tightly around her weapon's hilt and shouted "Typhoon!". Winds seemed to appear as if from nowhere and created a vacuum inside the ring which swept up the remaining Shadows and the two Wyverns high into the air and slamming back down again. The Shadows all dissolved into the ground defeated and Wyverns took to the air again but this time shaky because they were now frail from the attack.

Andrew removed a small silver grenade like the one Aaron used in her fight against Dav and threw it into the air, in between the two flying Heartless. It exploded right between the two and finished them off, their hearts floating into the sky and vanishing. The wall dissipated and they like Dav and Ashura before them headed to the seats and to their friends. Andrew sat down on the second step up from the floor and Terri on the third, both failing to realise that Aaron was still floating in mid air because of Ashura's powerful Stop spell.

"Nice work you two, I talked to Phil and he said after Craxte and Aaron win their match we have to face a big powerful enemy but he wouldn't tell me who exactly" spoke Dav while grinning at the thought of Aaron idly floating in the ring during her fight and Craxte running around her trying to kill all the Heartless.

"That should prove to a challenge or at least I hope" added Ashura who seemed interested in the proposition of fighting a worthy opponent, not that the Heartless ever are.

Craxte and Aaron were next to fight and theirs proved easier than the other two bouts as they only had to face a group of 16 Soldiers and a few Green Requiems. Craxte did the most fighting as he sliced through the Soldiers with his large axe and even used the hilt to pulverise a few of them. Aaron used a combination of her lightning dagger swipe attacks and healing magic where necessary. Dav and the team were told by Phil that their boss battles would not be while tomorrow as to give them time to prepare.

"Well, I'm gonna go find Cloud, here's in the dorm rooms somewhere, so I'll catch you up a bit later, okay?"

"Okay. Byyyeeeee" said Aaron loudly, apparently forgetting about the stop incident earlier.

"Can I accompany you? I have heard that you are your brother are a formidable challenge in the arena and maybe I'll find the Keyblade master while we are there" asked Ashura looking at Dav.

"Sure, come on lets hurry up before Cloud decides to take a nap or something" added Dav as he began to set off towards the door to the lobby, Ashura following closely behind.

Ashura and Dav headed through the lobby and straight into the main courtyard where Ashura had stood hours before. Unlike then however it was now dark and the sky above the Coliseum was clear and dotted with twinkling little lights that represented the worlds. however the torches that usually burned brightly even during the day where not alight at all, causing the entire courtyard to be covered in a blanket of shadows and darkness. As they stepped towards the middle of the courtyard all the torches suddenly sprung to life with bright orange flame all at once which surprised the two warriors. There towards the doors that lead out of the world two figures dressed in the robes of the Organisation stood, both with red hair. But one however was wearing midnight black metal claws on both hands and had a katana sheathed below his robe, only the tip of the hilt protruding from under it.

"...Axel"
