Chapter 20: Split Personalities Part 2/ A Warriors Kiss

"What are you doing foolish mortals, you cannot prevent what is destined" snarled the evil Dav who now had his Buster Blade resting on his shoulder.

"We will get Dav back, one way or another" Terri said in a calm manor as she now had her katana held in front of her, ready for battle. Ashura and Aaron standing to each of her sides.

"Well, a little warm up killing wouldn't go amiss, hahahaha" Evil Dav swung his blade at Terri with such force but Ashura held his arms out and managed to deflect the blow with his gauntlets, Aaron then ran and kicked him toward the wall but Evil Dav stopped himself. Terri then charged at him, ducked a horizontal swipe and delivered an uppercut with the hilt of her katana to his chin which sent him flying upwards. Ashura jumped up and flipped forward, delivering a powerful double footed kick which sent Evil Dav plummeting toward the ground and Aaron caught him with a roundhouse kick as he was falling which sent him slamming against the heavy doors.

The good Dav meanwhile was confronted by Craxte, Andrew and Cloud who barred his path from reaching his opposite.

"Why are you trying to prevent destiny from unfolding, the envoy of the light must do battle with the demon of the dark. Anyone wishing to prevent this must be dealt with, defend yourselves"

"Hang on Dav, we'll get you back my brother" Cloud whispered as he held his Buster Sword in his usual battle stance. The Good Dav spun his DBTS (Double Bladed Thief Sword) above his head and then attempted a downward slash but Craxte deflected the attack and Andrew drove his knee into Good Dav's stomach followed up by a back flip kick to his chin. Cloud wasted no time as he charged forward with his sword outstretched but the Dav of light jumped over the attack, rammed his shoulder into Cloud, ducked under an axe swipe from Craxte and gave him a powerful leg sweep. Andrew took out three silver disks, jumped into the air and launched them at the Good Dav and they exploded on impact. He flew across the room and smacked into the wall but recovered quickly and headed straight for Craxte. He was prepared however because he formed an energy sabre with his left hand and used it to deflect a DBTS swipe and then used the blunt side of his axe to hit Good Dav straight in the chin.

Evil Dav kicked Craxte away and then turned his attention to the thief twins who stood together to fight him.

"Hmph, how touching, yet pathetic, now watch as I kill you both at the same time!" he yelled. He charged at them both but they flipped away (one to the right and one to the left) and then Andrew held out his right arm and cast a Blizzara spell along the floor that Aaron slid across and tackled Dav to the floor. Andrew followed up by jumping straight down onto the Evil Dav's stomach which caused him to gag for breath and then roll away to recuperate. He returned to his feet and closed his eyes as if concentrating. Several Firaga bolts floated around him and each grew bigger in size, the difference being that the fire was black to match his aura.

"Duck!" Aaron shouted as the immensely powerful spells flew across the room and collided with anything that was in reach, the party however had all avoided the attack, all except Ashura who stood with his gauntlet clad hands raised to protect his face.

"Are you able to fight?" called Craxte who cast a powerful cure spell which gave Ashura a green outline which restored much of his lost energy. Good Dav however seemed unharmed by the attack and headed straight for Ashura who was facing the other way. One of his sword's blades headed straight for his midsection but he moved and grabbed the blade by his Gauntlet protected hands and pulled toward himself. Good Dav lurched forward and was met with a hard head butt to the face which sent him crashing to the ground stunned.

"ENOUGH" yelled Evil Dav "I have had enough of you all, I will finish you all and then continue my fight with the light...ULTIMA!

A huge orb of shadow span round him and kept on growing bigger and bigger as it rotated like a spinning soccer ball in mid air. The darkness continued to grow and envelop the entire room, wracking all the victims with extreme pain and trauma. The good Dav however returned to his feet just in time and yelled "HOLY" which emitted a hugely bright light. The light filled the room and battled for supremacy with the ultimate dark magic spell, both users exerting all of there energies to keep their spell going. Both good and evil finally gave out at the same time and a huge explosion followed, knocking both users out and nearly killing them.

The magicks subsided and all six fighters returned to their feet, exhausted from the constant battering from both Ultima and Holy, the two sides of Dav however were gone.

"...Where h-have they gone...?" questioned Andrew who was sat on the stairs.

"...Over there!" yelled Aaron as she pointed toward the door where a figure lay, neither good nor evil. Dav slowly sat up and rubbed his head.

"God, you guys look terrible, what happened to you?"

"You mean you don't remember?" replied Terri, slightly amazed.

"Um, sorta do, but...wait, Sora!"

Dav stood up and sprinted toward the main floor where he saw Sora stood over a sleeping Kairi and a dark, long, thin keyblade. Dav sprinted toward the platform just as Sora plunged the dark keyblade toward his heart. In a bright flash of light Sora disappeared and Kairi awoke and looked around the room. Donald and Goofy rushed towards Kairi with their weapons ready. The party ran to join Dav near Kairi who saw him and hugged him tightly.

"Dav, your alive, thank goodness"

Dav grinned slightly then looked down at her with a serious expression "I'm lad your safe Kairi but where is Sora?"

Before she could answer Ansem appears before them and smirks evilly.

"So, you have awakened at last, Princess. The Keyhole is now complete. You have served your purpose. But now it's over"

Goofy, Donald, Dav and Ashura moved in front of Kairi with weapons ready.

"Don't make another move!" Donald yelled to Ansem

"Do you think we can stop him all by ourselves?" Goofy whispered to the others

"I don't know" Donald yelled at Goofy

"Well, we can try" Dav added

Ansem started to move toward the warriors but started acting strangely.

"Impossible" uttered Ansem angrily. An image of Riku appeared in front of Ansem with his arms outstretched, stopping Ansem from advancing further.

"No, you wont use me for this" Riku called in a troubled voice

"Riku!" Dav and Kairi shouted in unison.

"You've got to run! The Heartless are coming!" As Riku finished his sentence Shadow Heartless appeared and Kairi, Dav, Donald, Goofy and the others escaped through the doors towards the entrance hall.

A8A

A single Shadow Heartless was stood in the middle of the platform staring at the retreating group.

A8A

The group ran through the doors to the main entrance area when Kairi stopped and turned to face the door.

"Kairi, hurry" Goofy shouted.

"I can't leave them behind!" she replied

"But we can't stay here" added Donald

"A Heartless is after us!" Goofy shouted pinting at a single Shadow Heartless that followed them from the chamber.

"I'll take care of him!" yelled Donald and he used his staff to hit the Shadow on the head. "Confounded Heartless! Get lost will ya?"

"Sora, is that you?" Kairi asked he Heartless slowly approaching it.

At that moment a large force of Shadow Heartless surround the group and the single "Sora Shadow" Heartless. Dav, Donald, Goofy and the party ran off to fight the Heartless and Kairi hugged the 'Sora' Heartless as others approached. "This time I'll protect you!"

The Shadows advance on Kairi and pounce but a brilliant flash of light envelops the area, blinding all. As the light faded Sora and Kairi are stood hugging and all the Heartless disappeared.

More Heartless appeared around the group but Dav took his Sabre C24's and turns to Sora.

"Go, I'll make 'em pay, don't worry, everyone else go with him"

"Come with us" Sora protested

"No, I'm gonna take my revenge for Destiny Islands" The group ran out of the castle leaving Terri and Ashura to stand by his side.

"We'll do it together" Terri whispered softly to Dav and then pulled him into a quick kiss before drawing her katana and attacking the Heartless, followed by Ashura.

"Wow... not just a pretty face" Dav uttered before unloading the contents of his guns into the Heartless and then attacking with his sword.
