Chapter 6: Battle Royal
"So where's the way out?" Tucker asked. Lia sighed.
"This way. Uh, for Seria's sake, will you stop asking that damn qusetion Tucker. You've asked it like, ten times," she said.
"Actually Lia, it was more like seven times," Nino said.
"Whatever. You know what I mean."
Lia pulled to the back of the group with Sam and Kairi, her sword at the ready. Danny, Nino, Sora and Riku were slightly ahead of the girls, and Mickey, Donald and Goofy were a bit ahead of the main group.
The three girls were staring intently at Riku, and when he finally took notice, he turned to Sora, Danny and Nino and grinned, givingthem the thumbs up. Danny, in human form, flashed his ghost eyes, Sora held his Keyblade tighter, and Nino growled. Riku's grin faded, and his hands fell to his side.
Lia came to his rescue.
"Oh, come on, you guys. Don't be so mean. Nino, you know you're the only one for me," she walked forward an thumped him on the chest with the back of her fist. He stared at her for a second, then held his forearm out, and Lia smacked her forearm against it. Lia turned to Danny and Sora, who she sensed were trying to get off the hook. "As for you two," she said,"You two have probably never asked out either one of these ladies, so why should you take offence. Once they're your girlfriend you can take offence, and not until then." She turned, walked back to Sam and Kairi, then as an afterthought said, "And if any of you got the thought in your heads that any of us are 'your' girls, think of what we can do to you gentlemen while you sleep."
"You hear Nino?" Shimmera asked, pulling every one away from the akward silence.
"What?" Nino perked his ears up, his eyes taking on a distant look.
"Noise, like dog." Sora, Riku and Kairi looked at her "No pun," she said.
"What did she just say?" Sora asked Danny.
"I think she hears a noise, like a dog or something, right?" Danny said.
"A padding noise, by the sound of it," Nino said.
"How big?" Mickey asked.
"Bigmuch. Claw-click." Shimmera said.
"I think I got the bigmuch part, but what's claw-click?" Sora asked.
"It sounds like claws clicking on the floor. Maybe it's a griffin," Nino replied.
"No. Bigga. Drajin." Shimmera argued.
"Drajin?"
"Dragon. Y'know, breathes fire, big wings, long tail. Dragon," Sam said before Lia could.
"I thought you would never make it, Sora," a booming voice said. It was definately female, and had a chilling tingle in it, like that of pure evil.
"Wait. Riku, don't we know that voice?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, it's Maleficent," Riku said, his Keyblade appearing in his hand.
"Very good. You remembered. Now I will have my revenge," Maleficent said, slamming down her two front talloned feet. Black scales covered her back while green ones covered her underbelly. She snorted green flames out her nostrils, nearly hitting the group as Lia and Nino created a sheild.
"That was way too close. We're gonna have to be careful," Lia said, transforming into her alter-ego, Wisp. Danny followed suit.
"We can take her," Sora said, his Keyblade appearing in his hand, a confident expression on his face. Donald, Goofy and Mickey braced themselves for battle, and Sam, Tucker and Kairi ducked out of the way of the warriors.
"Nino, help them on the ground. Me an' Danny'll take to the air," Lia said, assending, Danny following her into theair, both quickly dodging snapping attacks from the dragon.
Sora, Riku and Mickey attacked the dragon with their Keyblades, Donald healing them and Goofy blocking the attacks with his large shield. Lia and Danny created diversions from the sky, shooting ERs (ectoplasmic rays) at the dragon's face, and Shimmera kept climbing on the dragon's back, biting whatever she could.
"You think your pitiful group can defeat me? ME!" Maleficent shrieked. Sam stuck her tounge out.
"That's what all the evil guys say, and it's not that scary," she said.
"Yeah! We kicked your ass before, and we can do it agian!" Sora yelled at Maleficent, shooting a Blizzaga spell at her.
"Who you calling pitiful, you half-baked magician? I bet you couldn't even summon anything!" Lia said, blasting Maleficent in the eye.
"What would you know, whelp?" Skulker bulled right into Lia, knocking her out of the air, and blasted Danny with a small laser.
"Who's he?" Riku asked.
"Skulker, Ghost Zone's greatest hunter. Total asshole," Lia said, getting back up and turning invisible.
"Look's like we have more company," Sam said, pointing to a large array of ghosts, all Danny's enemies.
"Oh, we are so dead," Danny said.
Lia, still invisible, hovered right behind Maleficent's great head, and jsut as she was about to blast a tounge of flame at Riku and Mickey, she grabbed the dragon's horns and pulled down, causing the head to go up and the flame to Skulker as well as some of the other ghosts.
"Why are you guys attacking us anyway? We haven't done anything!" she yelled at them, having partly befriended most of them.
"We were told we would be rid of the Phantom once and for all," Technus said.
"And did you know that the creatures she controls destroy worlds? That the Ghost Zone is technically a world and can therefore be destroyed? That's probably what she wants. To take over your world, or, if she doesn't want it, destroy it for no good reason," Lia challenged the ghosts, her gaze running over all of them, and didn't notice as Maleficent swung her tail around, sending her flying into the wall.
"Lia!" Nino yelled, then turned to the dragon, and jumped at her, his fury fueling on his attack. The Keyblade users jumped in as Nino kept Maleficent busy with his slashing. Sora and Riku managed to get to the dragon's head, and after hacking away at her head for a while she began to submit, and the rest of the party, along with a few of the ghosts, went after her, and the mighty dragon Maleficent fell in a cloud of dark energy, her body dissapearing.
Lia recovered, saying, "Well, that was fun. Let's not do that again for a while."
"Deal," Danny said, supporting her.
"Well, then, let's get back home. Can you guys give us a ride back, Mickey?" Lia asked.
"Yeah. You guys should get home," Mickey replied.
"Thanks, Your Majesty," Danny said.
"No problem."
End Chapter 6: Battle Royal.
Author's Note: Hope you guys enjoyed! I plan on doing an uber-huge crossover with Sephiroth coming to destroy Earth and everybody, good and bad, has to band together to save their sorry asses. I know it's been done before, but I wanted to try my hand at it. It'll probably be after I finish the CrossOver Tillogy, Amity Hearts, Mobius Park, and Kingdom Mobius. They are in that time order, and will be finished in that order. Enjoy!
