CHAPTER 15 – ANOTHER SIDE… ANOTHER STORY II
INSIDE RIGEL CASTLE – BASEMENT TEMPLE ENTRANCE.
Alm and Mycen decided to head to Duma Tower through a secret path to meet with Celica and the others. However, Mycen had a thing to say as they stopped in front of a big door…
"Grandfather, what's this door?" Alm asked.
"It leads to the altar beneath Duma Tower." Mycen replied explaining to his grandchild. "But know that it is a path not easily from. Prepare well before you enter."
Alm and Mycen weren't alone, as Clive and the whole Deliverance army had been among them all the time, if they only knew that Berkut had snapped and let himself be embraced by the darkness… And what he was up to…
Before going through the gate, Alm and the others ran into one of his late father's henchman, Massena, the man didn't get there to pick up a fight, but a chit-chat.
"A moment, Prince Albein? I ask that you show Lord Berkut compassion." He requested him to not go wild on that guy. "He weighted heavy on Emperor Rudolf's mind for many years. The emperor knew that keeping the boy in ignorance could only bring him pain. And yet, the prospect of your being discovered was too great a risk. Still, Berkut was his nephew, and the same age as the son parted with. So I beg leniency of you, if only to respect Emperor Rudolf's wishes."
"Respect my father's wishes… I will try to reason with Berkut… Celica, Roxas… hang on… I'm coming." Alm said showing determination on his face.
Unbeknownst to them, Fernand was hearing the conversation, and now he's got a very important and valuable source to tell Roxas and the others, and warm the party as well of Berkut's evil and erratic behavior.
After taking few seconds to get ready, the Deliverance army proceeded to get through that big door and talked.
"Look how far we've come, Alm" Clive said. "In truth, there were times along the way where I often questioned my choices, but now I believe them all to have been sounded. Thank you Alm, for being everything I hoped you would be."
"Uh… it's not a big deal, Clive. We have just done what we had to do, that's all." Alm replied feeling praised. On the top of that, I'm been doing this to find Celica and get rid of Duma.
"I see, so we've something in common then. Mathilda is an important person for me so I'm with you on that. Enough woolgathering, though. Rigel Castle is in sight. Lead us to the end of this wretched war once and for all."
"Are you ready for this, Alm? This is a place which mostly no one can return from." Mycen asked his grandson if he was prepared.
"Yes, I am. Seems that we don't have a choice if we want to end this senseless war." Alm said being aware of the grave danger they all were getting to.
"Very well, prepare your weapons… this is going to turn rough." Mycen commanded them to brace themselves.
Alm and the others nodded and proceed to get through the basement with caution as to eliminate any Terror or any kind of monster should they encounter.
As expected, they ran into those dark creatures and Alm and the others slashed them down to continue their travel down stars. However, what they found out is that this place was like a huge labyrinth and there was no way for them to reach Celica and the others.
"Damn it! This is like a Labyrinth!" said Gray, one of the Deliverance's member in disgust.
"Granpa, do you know the way to get through this?" Alm asked him out of worry.
"Not very much, but I remember going through this in my youth." Mycen admitted not having a big clue of the place.
Suddenly, few slow and creepy-sounding footsteps were heard in the area.
"Hold up, everyone." Alm ordered them to stop.
"What is it, Alm?" Clive asked.
"Someone's coming." Alm replied when suddenly saw something that made him feel a chill down his spine, and everyone else. "It's Berkut?!"
"What?!" Clive seconded in shock, just as everyone else. Berkut's purple evil aura was engulfing him throughout his body, which left everybody disturbed.
"There you are… you cheeky motherfucker." Berkut spoke showing much hatred towards them, especially Alm. "You kept me waiting, Alm! Or should I say… Your Excellency? Perhaps Emperor Rudolf II of Rigel?"
"Berkut, listen to—" Alm tried to get him to simmer down and reason with but Berkut just didn't listen to his pleads. "Tell me, how does it feel to possess Both Sofia and Rigel? I imagine it's wonderful, though it's a sensation I'll never know."
"This isn't a conquest for me. I have no illusions the people will suddenly welcome me as their ruler. But my father placed this land in my care, and I'll do everything for it. Whatever it takes to keep Valentia's people safe." Alm stated his intend from his reign to help his people, however, Berkut was way adamant and blind by his hatred as to say something. "The path is already difficult for us all. So help us, Berkut. Lend us your strength! Rigel's people trust and love you far more than me. You and I are cousins, after all. Family. I didn't think I had any family in this world, and yet, here you are. I know we can be close friends as well, Let's work together, Berkut. Put all we have toward ensuring all Valentia is—"
"Shut the fuck up." Berkut glanced at Alm with deadly eyes making him stop talking for a little while, in shock.
"Umm… what?"
"Listen to you, offering mercy and trite platitudes from on high. Work together? Us? Don't make me laugh. Strength isn't lent, it's taken! Pried from the grip of your fucking dead foes!"
Berkut began glowing with evil energy from Duma out of control in a sinister manner, leaving everyone visibly frightened.
"What in the world is this?! He's out of control!" Clair, the female member of the Deliverance, exclaimed in horror after seeing him become fully evil, all while he was laughing madly.
And to make things worse, Rinea's soul manifested behind Berkut's back, he had the power to wipe Alm and the others out, and he was willing to do so to become Valentia's king by any means.
Berkut summoned his keyblade and pointed it at Alm and the others with a murderous glare.
"What the…" Alm spoke in shock while pulling his sword out.
"That weapon doesn't seem to be normal, it's evil." Clive expressed discomfort. "Alm, Berkut not only has taken in Duma's power, but also obtained that powerful blade."
"No!"
"Ah, my beloved Rinea… Beautiful, isn't she?" Berkut talked in such deceptive manner.
"Oh gods… You offered the woman you love to Duma?!" Alm berated him out of shock and anger. "What the fuck is wrong with you?! What's the point of power if you have nothing left to protect?!"
"I finally realized something. Power won't betray me. Power won't deceive me. Blood ties? Years of life lived together? Meaningless, all meaningless. The only thing in the world a man can rely on is his own strength!" Berkut let out a brutal and disturbing statement, much to his cousin's dismay.
"Years of… Are you accusing my father of betraying you? You're wrong! He loved you!" Alm retorted trying to reason with his cousin. "He worried about you to the last! You knew him so much better than I did! How can you not see that, huh?!"
"Shut your fuckin' mouth! Shut up! I'm tired of listening to your bullshit!" Berkut shouted angrily, he was already consumed by Duma's power and there was nothing that could hold him back… and then he turned to Rinea. "It's time, Rinea. Come with me. We'll hold our wedding atop his funeral!"
"Berkut!" Alm said preparing his weapon to fight.
Berkut charged at Alm and clashed their weapons, however, the keyblade's power was so immense that Alm managed to barely stand up.
"Berkut! Stop it!" Alm tried to reach for his cousin.
"Call me king Berkut, you shithead!" Berkut snapped as they clashed his swords again.
As he said that, he managed to land a strong brutal slash across Alm's chest, however, he held back as not to kill him in the process, he had a plan inside of his mind as to leave the team shaking in terror and torture them later…
"Alm! You bastard!" Clive was enraged and tried to attack the man, but like Alm, he was struck in the same fashion and fell to the ground.
Mycen, Gray and the other Deliverance members tried to land a strike on Berkut, but due to Duma's and his keyblade powers, he took them out easily.
"B-Berkut… You're really sick man." Mycen grunted in pain just like the others, they were no match for all-mighty evil Berkut.
"Making yourselves feel good at playing the heroes, pathetic!" Berkut laughed madly as he watched them go in despair. "I will not kill you right now… I'm gonna lock you all away at the cell! Because I have somebody to kill, that's the last obstacle before I become the king of Valentia!"
"That last obstacle…? Wait! That's Roxas! Don't you dare to hurt him!" Mycen yelled warning him.
"Silence, you old man!" Berkut shouted back slapping him hardly across his face.
"Berkut!" Alm was in shock at witnessing that aggression. "How dare you?! How dare you to make such atrocities!"
"Because you MUST suffer, like I suffered!" Berkut snapped his fingers and summoned a lot of Heartless, nobodies and Terrors. "Take them to the cell!"
"Wait! Let go of me! Hey! Let me go!" Clive exclaimed as he was being dragged among the others.
"Get your hands off me! Let me go! I must save Celica! CELICAAAA!" Alm yelled struggling to break free but everything was in vain.
There were just too many dark creatures and the Deliverance couldn't take them down, not even Fernand, who saw the horror on their faces while making sure of not getting caught and get dragged as well.
/
MEANWHILE, AT THE TOP OF DUMA'S TOWER.
As the same time as Alm was entering Rigel Castle before going through the basement, Roxas and the others were still fighting the Heartless and the other dark creatures.
"Damn it all!" Saber spat in frustration as there was no end for these monsters. "This place is crawling with heartless and nobodies! So much for 'begone to wherever will,' you damn priest!"
"And what's that supposed to mean? You're not actually thinking of leaving Celica and Roxas in there and running away?!" Boey gabbled as he and the others were struggling to clear the area.
"Did you hear me say anything about running away? Gimme some credit here, you little snot!" Saber gabbled back.
"Stop arguing you idiots and focus on the fight!" Roxas ordered them to stop bickering. "I'd focus on surviving, if it is same for you two!"
"He's right, it's not time to be bickering! We've got bigger troubles than that!" Conrad agreed with the keyblade wielder.
Everybody struggled to clear the area by any means necessary as much as they could, until Liprica, Celica, Sonya and Nuibaba created a joint spell and finally wiped out the Heartless.
Jedah however, had vanished from the place, but he still hasn't given up their fight, not yet.
"That's the last of them…" Nuibaba said before sensing something really evil, and she knew very well what it was. "Oh no…"
"What's wrong?" Sonya asked in concern.
"Berkut… Berkut has taken the Duma's power, and he's out for blood." Nuibaba warned everybody, leaving them in shock.
"He what?!" Mathilda said in disbelief. "How could he get such much power?!"
"I think… he's pretty powersick, he wants to rule over everything." Roxas deduced Berkut's intentions. "But I wonder what his reasons were."
"Roxas!" Fernand came to the scene. "Guys, listen to me!"
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mathilda glared at him with such disappointment. "Do you expect us to listen to you after you betrayed us with Berkut and his army?"
"I understand you are angry, Mathilda, I understand I made a huge mistake of betraying your trust. I don't expect you to forgive me, but I need you to understand my actions and there is something you all need to listen to what have to say." Fernand acknowledged his past mistakes and asked them to listen to him at least for once.
"Don't lie to me, Fernand!" Mathilda wasn't willing to withstand any more supposed lie coming from his mouth, pointing at him with accusation.
"Let him talk, Mathilda." Liprica calmed her down. "Whatever you say, say it."
"I don't know where to start, but what I can tell you is that we are in a big trouble, Berkut has killed Miss Rinea and taken Duma's powers and… he defeated Alm and the whole Deliverance, including Clive and dragged them to the cells at the basement. Also, I happened to know that Alm is Rudolf's father, which makes Berkut and him cousins."
"What?!" Celica shouted in disbelief. "No…! No, Alm!"
"Rudolf is Alm's father? And Berkut is the nephew…?" Roxas expressed surprise and disdain, to which the Gray-haired man nodded.
"Couldn't you do something to stop this fucker?!" Saber questioned him in anger as well.
"He's so powerful! What could I possibly do to stop his madness? Nothing!" Fernand retorted admitting his lack of strength, even he held his keyblade, we was not powerful enough as to face Berkut alone. "He's got a weapon like mine or Roxas, but that weapon is brutal enough to take anybody out.
"He's right." Nuibaba spoke. "Berkut's become powerful with Duma's powers, and thus, he was able to defeat the Deliverance easily, Roxas, Celica, Liprica, you three are the only hope to take Duma down, but anybody has to face Berkut, and this is a dangerous task."
"I will face him." Celica raised her hand, expressing determination on her face.
"Anthiese, Berkut is a dangerous man, Alm needs you." Liprica questioned her decision she made, as Nuibaba said, this was a risky task. "I don't want you to waste your life like this, Alm wouldn't like it if you died by that man's hands."
"Duma is even a greater threat! If we don't do something, he will kill Alm, Kliff, Faye, Gray, everyone!" Celica exclaimed fearing for their lives, but her other me was right, it was a deadly choice for her to face Berkut alone and rescue Alm and the others at the same time, they had to make a plan as soon as possible.
"Anthiese, we know that he's a big threat, but so is Berkut, someone must face and defeat Berkut, or even rescue Alm, and you can't do both at the same time." Conrad made her see that it wasn't a worthy move.
"How about… you and the others go and rescue them… Liprica and I will take care of Berkut." Roxas placed his hands over her shoulders.
"Roxas, Liprica…" Celica was worried about their integrities, but nonetheless, she had to stay strong for her people, and for Alm. "Alright, we'll rescue the others, just don't lose to that guy."
/
DUMA TOWER | BASEMENT
Roxas's army were heading to where Alm and the others were being held captive, they had thought that it would take a lot of time to find them, however, Celica and Liprica sensed the whole Deliverance army's trace.
"Hold on, I think I can feel Alm's presence, and the others as well." Celica said.
"Yeah, me too, I can bet that we somewhat know where are captured. "Liprica seconded as well.
"Not so fast, you assholes…" Berkut's voice was heard before making his appearance in front of everyone.
"What the…? Look at this!" Boey was visibly shocked upon seeing the mad man in front of them.
"So, this is what you tried to warn us, Fernand, right?" Roxas intuited checking on Berkut until he came to notice his keyblade… "That's… looks exactly like the keyblade which Riku used against me, but this… this is sinister. Why do you have that keyblade?!"
"Why do I have that weapon you ask?" Berkut laughed showing a lot of evilness on his twisted face, and then came to yell out his insanity. "You wanna know?! Because I came here to kill you and everyone you love, you clusterfuck! I wanted to be emperor but this little fucker took it away, he took everything from ME!"
"Whom are you insulting to?" Liprica interrogated her glancing at him with penetrating sight.
"This asshole Alm!" Berkut yelled in fury. "He's the bastard son of my uncle Rudolf, I have not believed nothing fucking LIES! I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN IGNORANCE MY WHOLE LIFE AND EXPERIENCED A LOT OF PAIN AND BETRAYAL! I wanted to rule over Valentia… and that fucking bastard took that from me…"
"And you struck Alm and the others for that?!" Roxas berated him expressing dismay and anger at the same time, he didn't like what he had just heard. "Is this for vengeance?! Don't you realize of that kind of monster you've become?! You're out of your goddamn mind!"
"How dare you… How dare you to attack Alm and the others?!" Liprica became angry as she summoned her keyblade.
"No… Alm!" Celica was growing worried about their lives, she had to get there as soon as possible or else…
"Anthiese, guys! Go rescue the others! We'll keep him busy! GO!" Liprica ordered them to push forward.
[Fire Emblem: Three Houses BGM: The Shacked Wolves (Rain)]
"Yeah. Come on, guys, let's go!" Celica did the same and ran as fast as they could.
"I WON'T LET YOU MOTHERFU—!" Berkut tried to attack the party but Roxas stepped in the middle and blocked his slash with his two keyblades.
"You're not going anywhere!" he spat as he clashed his weapons against Berkut's.
[INFORMATION: Defeat Berkut!]
The force of the clash was so intense that both Roxas and Berkut managed to not fall to the ground.
Berkut let out a brutal roar as he charged and clashed his keyblade against Liprica, then he used Rinea's souls as to try to burn her to the ground, but Liprica was quick enough to dodge the attack with Reversal move set to warp towards aside Berkut and land a slash on Rinea, leaving her knocked out for a while.
"Rinea! You fucking whore!" Berkut roared launching an electrifying wave towards the keyblade wielder, however, Liprica managed to send back the attack with a swing and left him stunned.
Roxas quickly entered in double form and came to do the Ars Arcanium combo on Berkut, dealing a considerable amount of damage on his enemy.
However, as expected from a tough enemy, Berkut stood up and laughed maniacally.
"Do you think that meaningless weapon of yours will KILL ME?!" he said in now insane attitude, casting a fire spell as he tried to fry them up.
But to his surprise, both Roxas and Celica came out unharmed as the duo casted the Reflega spell to protect themselves.
"You bastards…! I will kill you both! And then I will murder this bastard Alm and his mediocre army! Later… I will become the king of the universe!" Berkut expressed insanity, much to the duo's disdain.
"You're really out of your mind, Berkut! Alm is your family!" Liprica tried to reason with him, but it was useless.
"SILENCE, YOU STUPID BITCH!" he roared as he surged against her and clashed their weapons brutally.
Liprica received one slash on one of her arms as she rolled around the room, as soon as she stood up, she drank one of her potions to heal her wounds. She wouldn't fall easily like she did in the past, not today.
Berkut began showing erratic behavior due to his powers and started to make a huge mess in the room as he crashed few zones of the wall and ground while clashing with Roxas.
However, the Duma's power proved to be too much for Berkut and this made him undergo a very painful and disturbing transformation…
"What the hell is going on?" Liprica was watching in shock. "Wait up, is he…?"
"He's… He's turning into a heartless!" Roxas knew exactly what is going on.
"No way…!" Liprica said in disbelief as they saw his transformation.
Effectively, Berkut transformed into a big dragon-like heartless, product of his severe insanity, corruption, and a huge desire for power. All of this led him to give in to the darkness and go deep end.
[Change BGM]
[KINGDOM HEARTS Final Mix BGM: Disappeared]
"Berkut… seems we don't have a choice but to end his suffering." Liprica suggested.
"Alm will not like this, but we must get this done." Roxas agreed.
[INFORMATION: Use the reaction commands to take Berkut down once and for all!]
Roxas and Liprica proceed to watch for his move sets, as soon as Berkut pull the fire out of his mouth, they both managed to dodge the attack without getting burned.
[Reaction command: Stunt-Attack *presses triangle button*]
Liprica jumped towards the heartless' head and threw her keyblade onto it, knocking out the dragon in the process.
"Roxas now!" she exclaimed.
The keyblade wielder quickly approached the heartless and proceeded to slash onto its head repeatedly until the dragon recovered itself.
The heartless then proceeded to jump very high and tried to make them fall to the floor by landing brutally on the ground, making the place shake, which barely did.
"He doesn't give up!" Roxas snarled as he stood up.
"Yeah… but neither we will, come on, Roxas… Let's show this guy what we're made up!" Liprica motivated him to keep fighting.
The duo ran around the room, they had to keep moving as to avoid being crashed by the heartless' feet or the fire.
[Reaction command: Stunt-Attack *presses triangle button*]
Roxas jumped up onto its head and landed a strong strike on its back, stunning him in the process.
"Let's go!" Liprica shouted as she and Roxas charged against the dragon and slashed the heartless repeatedly until the duo performed a double Zantetsuken together, finally giving the dragon a deathblow once and for all.
[End of BGM]
The heartless disappeared in particles, however, the duo came to see Berkut's and Rinea's hearts float upwards, to the sky.
"We did it. We finally set the two free." Liprica said solemnly, but they didn't have a choice, there was a gold rule of the survival: kill or be killed.
"To think that Berkut was Alm's cousin…" Roxas felt remorse of having to take someone's life like Berkut.
"I know, this hurts me too, but what choice we had, right?" Liprica comforted him placing her hand on his shoulder. "Come on… let's go help Anthiese and the others, shall we?" she let out a light and warm smile to his partner and friend.
"Yeah."
The duo set up their trip to go find Celica and the others to take Duma, and Jedah down once and for all, it was a matter of time before Roxas's and the Deliverance armies met.
/
ON THE OTHER SIDE
Meanwhile, Celica and the others were following Alm's and the others' trace throughout the dungeon, fighting their way to their friends against the Terrors, Heartless and nobodies they found on their way.
"Get the fuck out of our way!" Saber snarled cutting the creatures in half.
"Damn it! This place is crawling with these creepy creatures!" Boey shouted out as he casted a thunder spell on some Terrors.
They struggled to get rid of these creatures as they went through the hallway, it was a tough mission but they eventually managed to clear the area, and by the time Celica and the others proceeded to the next area, they suddenly heard some voices coming from not that afar. "You goddamn monsters!" "We're gonna kill you all!" "You faggots!"
"Those voices… Alm! Hang on! We're coming!" Celica talked figuring out the direction.
They ran as fast as possible to reach for him and the others, all while wiping out random monsters along the way. After running from room to room, Celica and her friends entered to the room where they saw them, Celica finally came to reunite with Alm and the others and watch them struggle against the monsters. And not only that, they managed to break out of the cell.
"Alm!" she called him upon performing a Strike Raid on few monsters just in time, saving him in the process.
"Celica?!" Alm was surprised on what had just witnessed, his dear girl seemed strong unlike before. "You… You have become stronger, how did you do it to take those monsters out?"
"It's a long story… But for now, let's focus on taking all those monsters out." Celica suggested him showing her badass side, much to his surprise.
"Alright, Celica. Together we are strong!" Alm agreed as he put himself on attacking position.
At last, both armies were together and proceeded to wipe out every last dark creature throughout the room until finally clearing the area. It was an exhausting job but they had to get this done.
"That's the last one of them…" Kliff panted due to exhaustion just like the others.
"To think we'd run into hundreds of creepy monsters." Lukas, one of the Deliverance members said trying to recover himself.
"Yeah, but we have to end this senseless war once and for all, besides, since this girl appeared, it made things easier to crash those monsters. Isn't that right?" Clive acknowledged Celica's army's strength.
Celica nodded to his compliment. "Right. It's a long story but Roxas has helped me to become a princess warrior I am."
"Roxas? I have heard that name before. He must be the guy who destroyed the pirates in sea." Gray mentioned him.
"Indeed." Celica nodded. "He helped us to get rid of these people.
"Clive… it's been so long. I'm sorry for being reckless." Mathilda hugged him tenderly.
"It's alright, Mathilda… All it matters is that you are fine." He replied back in a nice voice.
Roxas and Liprica finally made it there and then, the duo came to meet with both armies.
"Roxas! Liprica!" Celica turned to them. "Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah. What about you?" her other me replied as the duo approached them.
"Same." Celica replied.
"Whoa! Wha… Wait! Are my eyes deceiving me or there's two Celicas?!" Alm was surprised at Liprica's presence in confusion.
"No, Alm." Celica laughed and explained to him. "Your eyes aren't deceiving you, this is Liprica, my other self."
Suddenly, Liprica ran to Alm and hugged him tightly. "Alm…! I'm glad to see you alive!"
"What the… heck?" Alm was awkwardly blushed by her attitude, it looked like she knew him so well.
When she released him, Alm proceeded to turn his gaze at the blonde keyblade wielder. "Roxas… we finally meet. Thank you… thank you for protecting Celica. She means very much to me."
"You're welcome, it was my duty, but I also did it by my own heart." Roxas explained his reasons to make sure of Celica's safety.
"He… He made our journey become enjoyable and easier." Mae remarked his qualities as a member of their army.
"So, why don't we introduce each other?" Alm suggested everybody. "As you guys know, my name is Albein Alm Rudolf II, but everyone calls me Alm."
"My real name is Princess Anthiese, Anthiese Lima, but like Alm, I go by my name Celica."
"I'm Roxas."
"Mathilda."
"Mae."
"Boey."
"Leon.
"Valbar, the toughest man you can count on."
"Kamui.
"Deen."
"Nuibaba."
"Sonya."
"Conrad."
"Saber."
"Genny.
"Atlas."
"Palla."
"Catria."
"Est."
"My name is Liprica."
And now it was the Deliverance army's turn.
"You must be Roxas, am I right? Anyway, I'm Clive."
"I can see you have lead them very well, you can call me Gray if you feel like talking."
"I see you possess such extraordinary power to overcome difficulties, my name is Kliff."
"Never thought I would stumble onto someone handsome and stronger like you, my name is Clair."
"My name is Lukas, I'm impressed that you really nailed it as an excellent swordsman you are, man."
"You can call me Forsyth, fella, let's work together sometime!"
"I like you, kid. Call me Pynthon."
"I would like to become a strong warrior like you, Roxas. My name's Tobin."
"My name's Silque, nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you all, my friends." Roxas replied in a nice manner, putting out his fist to shake and join hands with everyone. "Now… let's go destroy Duma and Jedah for good."
"YEAH!" everyone exclaimed at the top of their lungs. Now the whole army was completed, there was only one objective to be done: End this senseless war once and for all.
/
DUMA'S TOWER – SECOND FLOOR | HALLWAY.
Everyone was heading to the top to face Duma and Jedah while dealing with few dark creatures along their way, by the time they finally reached the door which would lead the army to the top of the tower, something unexpected happened.
"Celica!"
It was Mae's voice, who remained behind among the others.
"Mae! Everyone!" Celica ran to her friends, only to find out they were separated by a kind of purple-colored field of energy. She was trapped.
Suddenly, a corridor of darkness appeared in front of the girl, only to reveal itself as another Celica, but something was wrong.
"What in the world…?" Celica was checked on her doppelganger until she came to notice her eyes, her eyes were filled with extreme madness, and not only that, her face was filled with rage itself.
What came to everyone's attention was this…
"A keyblade?!" Celica was surprised by the doppelganger's sudden action.
"What the...? That girl… it reminds me when I had made that terrible mistake long time ago." Liprica came to sense the doppelganger's mind.
"Celica! Watch out!" Alm exclaimed as another Celica clashed with the real one.
END OF CHAPTER 15
A/N:
Sorry for the long delay, I'm really sorry for this long delay, I had lost inspiration for the fic I left abandoned for a long time, but here's the chapter you all have been waiting for.
As you saw that last part, I thought of recreating both Sora VS Roxas and Alm VS Celica mortal battles but with the real Celica fighting her doppelganger, yeah, I'm talking about the imprisoned Celica, the girl whose soul was sacrificed to Duma.
Anyway, that's all I can write, but I can tell you that there's will be a crazier finale which will leave your jaws open, I promise.
See you next time!
