A/N: Hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Once again I am going to mention how great Guild Wars is. You should really play it some time.
Endless Abyss, Fortress
"I can't stand it any more!" Hades yelled, his hair turning an intense red. "I'm going to attack them and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Calm yourself!" the dark wielder said in a dangerous tone.
"But they killed Sephiroth!"
"We are not doing anything until she arrives!"
"She will be our downfall!" Hades yelled angrily.
The dark wielder started to pace, along the inner edges of the fortress wall. Hades glided after him.
"You will get your fight soon enough Hades," the dark wielder said. "Just be patient for a little longer!"
Hades glowered at the dark wielder but said no more on the subject.
Endless Abyss
Two hours had passed and by now everyone had gathered together again. They were in the midst of celebrating Clouds victory. Strangely the heartless had backed off and were not attacking any more. The followers of darkness assured Alexa that the heartless were gone. It wasn't too hard to see where they had gone – there was a dark black mist hanging over the fortress, so dark that it blocked out the light shining from the portal which should have spelled the doom of the people of the Endless Abyss. Fortunately Sora had sent the reinforcements that he did – if not for them the fortress would most certainly been the end.
"We are doing well," Alexa called out. "The dark wielder thought he could send his army here and destroy us all but he was wrong. He may have had the advantage but now the tides are beginning to turn."
One of the followers of darkness yelled out, "We might be doing well but where is our mighty king?"
One of the other followers of darkness whacked the first on the head. "Don't disrespect him. He has saved all of our lives and will do it again."
Alexa was surprised by the manner in which the comment had been dealt with but it was finished so she continued. "Everyone rest up – we are not going to let them have our fortress for too long. In forty minutes we are going to attack and win back our home!"
Everyone cheered.
"Do you think Sora will be coming back now?" Elchanan asked Alexa.
"He will come back when he has done what he needs to do," Alexa responded.
"But what if he's too late?" Elchanan asked.
"Then we will die fighting the dark wielder and his foul army!" Alexa responded grimly.
Portal of Light
Sora moved as fast as he could through the light portal but something was wrong – the light was shrouded in darkness. The further he moved the darker it got.
"What's wrong with this place?" Sora asked.
This has never happened before. . .
"What about in the last war?" Sora asked.
No not even then!
"But. . ."
Something big is happening Sora – something that hasn't happened for countless thousands of years.
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
It has every thing to do with you my friend. You are entirely responsible for it – you should be proud of yourself!
"Why? What have I done?"
Something more good then bad! The Endless Abyss was once a world that went by a different name until it died. Few people have remembered that name since the world was destroyed but now. . .
"What's changed now?"
You restored the world's life Sora.
"I did?"
Yes. Every time you shot the light up into the sky you restored a little of the planets life and exonerated a little of it's darkness. With a little more help from you the Endless Abyss will be forced from Terminus and back into the realm of the light!
"Is that why there's so much darkness here?" Sora asked.
Yes. You may not know it yet but your stay in Castle Oblivion has made you more powerful then you were before. Unfortunately you aren't going to understand it until the very end.
"If I'm so powerful now then I should be able to get rid of this darkness!" Sora said, pulling out the light keyblade to test his theory. He pointed it in front of him and concentrated on shooting a beam of light into ahead of him. Almost as soon as he put his mind to it a beam of light shot out from the light keyblade and ate away the darkness.
"Ah now I can move faster!" Sora said moving faster through the portal.
Endless Abyss
"Charge!" Alexa yelled. Everyone had marched for the fortress walls in preparation for the attack. Alexa, Ansem, Mickey, and Riku were at the front, leading the assault. So far only a few impatient heartless had bothered to show their faces and those had been dealt with quickly. Now everyone ran at the walls, following Alexa's lead.
When they were about half way to the walls they heard a foul sounding horn being blown far in the distance, close to the dark tower.
"What's happening?" Mickey asked Riku.
Riku wave the Twilight blade around and then said, "It's not good!"
"What?" Mickey said.
"The nobodies have been awakened and they are being led by one of the dark wielders allies."
"You're right that doesn't sound too good," Ansem said. "But I suppose they will be able to tell that the dark wielders intentions are evil and he has no plan to accommodate their desires."
Riku went into a trance for a few minutes and then said, "They are allied to the dark wielder but their leader is not a fool. She would betray him immediately if she saw the need."
"Then perhaps we should create a need for her to betray the dark wielder," Ansem said.
"It would certainly work in our favour to do so," Alexa said. "But is it possible?"
Riku thought for a while and then said, "No. It is not. We can not offer her what the dark wielder is pretending to offer – a heart."
That was the end of the talk however as suddenly the fortress gates flung themselves open and a seemingly endless stream of darkness shot out through the gates. The stream of darkness circled the reasonable small army lead by Alexa. It circled faster and faster until finally the darkness began to split, creating a few thousand heartless in mere seconds. Everyone started to fight as hard as they could but it was easy to see that it was a losing battle.
"Ya!" Wakka yelled as he threw a blitz ball at the god of the underworld.
Hade's hair turned an intense red and he yelled, "Revenge, here I come!" Then he flew at Wakka and knocked him to the ground. Claws grew out of Hade's hands and he leapt at Wakka, ready to sink them into his chest. Alexa and Riku put themselves between Wakka and Hades, both holding their weapons up, ready to deflect Hades.
"Arghh!" Alexa cried as she was knocked to the ground by a dusk.
"Alexa!" Riku yelled, knowing that if he moved even one inch to help her that Hades would kill Wakka.
CHING
Hade's claws bounced off Riku's Twilight blade.
"Hmm," Hades said, "maybe it's time for a new strategy. . ." As Hades said this, his hands glowed a dark purple colour.
Mickey meanwhile was at Alexa's side, fighting off the dusks which had appeared. "Oh no!" Mickey said as he noticed that the nobodies were arriving.
"We're going to die!" One of the followers of darkness yelled. (it turned out to be the same one who had badmouthed Sora before.)
Three heartless had joined together and were now large enough to eat a grown man and that's what they were doing.
"Arghhh!" he yelled. That man never badmouthed anyone else ever again.
Hercules was getting angry, glowing a bright gold, revealing that he was a demi-god. Heartless and Dusk alike were bouncing off him, unable to cause any damage to Hercules. But Herc wasn't going to let them try to attack him and get away with it – he pulled out his sword, held it out in front of him and spun around really fast. Heartless and Dusk were still jumping at him but the difference was that as soon as they hit their mark they died.
"Good job Hercules!" Cloud yelled as he and Leon fought through the enemy ranks to get to him.
A dark shadowy figure appeared, covered in darkness in such a way that Leon, Cloud and Hercules could see a faint outline of him but nothing of the face.
"Leaving so soon?" the figure asked, the voice revealing that it was a male.
"Who are you!" Leon demanded.
"Take a guess," the figure said with a laugh.
"Enough!" Cloud yelled. "If you won't tell us then we'll just search your corpse when this is over!"
Cloud ran at the shadowy figure and holding his sword out, leapt into the air. Leon moved almost as fast, holding his gunblade back, ready to fire. Hercules was running along the ground, sword held out like a spear. The whole time the shadowy figure didn't move one bit. Then just as Cloud was above him he summoned an evil looking keyblade and thrust it up into the air. Cloud went weak from the blow and fell to the ground. Leon fired his gunblade and the man knocked the blast back at Leon who dodge rolled to his left. By this time, Hercules had reached him and the man leapt into the air, his keyblade glowing. After a second he fired a blast of darkness down at Hercules who became wrapped in darkness. The man landed just in time to deflect another shot from Leon.
Leon dodged again and ran at the man, knowing that any more shots that he fired would be a waste of time. The man waited for another second and then ran at Leon. The two of them met in the middle and their blades locked together. That lasted mere seconds as the man gathered his strength from a seemingly endless supply and forced Leon off.
"I am the dark wielder!" the man said. "No-one can deny my power, most certainly not a weak little fool such as yourself!"
The dark wielder walked over to Leon, preparing to thrust his keyblade into his heart.
Suddenly in a burst of light, another figure appeared, this one's features shrouded by light.
"Leave him alone!" the new comer yelled. "It's me you're after!" The new comer pulled out the light keyblade and glared at the dark wielder.
