Final Fantasy XV - Kingdom Hearts
Part 31
Summary: Two warriors of Light, the Chosen King and Keyblade Master, face an unseen Darkness.
*Fallgrove, later afternoon*
Parking their cars nearest to the royal tomb that was pillaged by a daemon, the party often had already been informed by the hunters nearby about the potential location of where the daemon that took the weapon had fled to.
According to them, there was a ruin not too far from this royal tomb that is most likely where the daemon had run off to with its bounty. Some searches later and after a few minor skirmishes with the wildlife, Goofy and Riku found the ruins. When they arrived, they could see it almost resembled a coliseum with several large walls ringing around the tower, many of them in ruins as many stood the test of time.
'This must be where that daemon ran off to', Ignis said, looking at the marvelous set of ruins before them. 'There aren't any other ruins near the tomb, and likely the daemon could be using this place as a habitat', Aqua added with a thoughtful glance.
Turning to Riku and Goofy, Ignis asked: 'Did you two happen to find an entrance to this tower?'. 'We think so…', Riku said slowly, leading them into the ruins. Across the stone bridge, they came to a flight of stairs that went down to a solid wall before them. 'Gonna go on a limb here and say this should have been the entrance but…', he explained while crossing his arms, 'There's, not door or anything here'.
'And we looked around this place to see if there any other entrances but all we found were dead ends', Goofy said with a frown. 'Couldn't we just, bust the door down?', Noctis asked, looking to the keyblade wielders. 'We may end up caving the entire passage in', Aqua replied with worry, 'And the last thing we need to start a dig site'.
Kairi tapped her cheek in thought as she looked around the ruins before turning to Ignis. 'Hey, do you think maybe this place works the same way as the dungeon in the Vesperpool?', she asked. 'I remember Aranea saying that the ruins only opened up when it was night'. The spectacled man raised a brow at the girl, who clasped both hands behind her back. 'She told me this when we got separated', she revealed.
'Wait…does that mean we have to wait around…until night?', Prompto gulped, turning pale at the thought of daemons. 'Guess we are', Donald said with a huff and crossing his arms, 'It won't take much longer'.
The duck's words did nothing to calm the blond as he gulped and look ready to call his gun. 'How much longer do we have to wait until night?', Sora asked, looking at the men. 'If I'm correct, we should only have to wait three more hours until nightfall', Ignis replied, phone out. With a nod, he pocketed his phone and nodded to confirm the time.
With this everyone opted to start doing their own thing with Aqua taking Gladiolus to experiment more with his shield, Ignis taking Donald and Goofy to search the area for ingredients, leaving the five younger members to their own devices. 'Guess we've got time to kill…', Kairi sighed, looking at the still high sun. 'What do you wanna do?', Sora asked, looking to everyone. 'King's Knight Noct?', Prompto suggested.
'Oh hell yeah, you're on!', Noctis stated excitedly. 'Hey, mind if I join ya?', Riku asked, showing his phone, 'Prom's got me hooked on it too'.
' "King's Knight"?', Kairi asked, tilting her head. 'What's that?'. The two boys grinned…
*Nightfall*
As the moonlight shined down upon the tower, like Kairi had said, the ruins began to wake up. Some of them out on the walls had long lines of red-light runes glowing on them, signaling their passage in had been opened and the journey had begun. They proceeded back to the stairs and after climbing down it they saw on their right another flight of stairs. Cautiously they ventured down further the stairs until they were underground and came to an empty corridor, up ahead they see the same lanterns from the Vesperpool dungeon.
'Be on your guard, remember places like these often homes for daemons', Ignis warned. 'And heartless, don't forget the heartless', Riku said with a chuckle.
Coming from the corridor and entre a cylinder-shaped space with only one entrance on the left, but before the team could make their way, six pools of blight appeared before them and out climbed the flan daemons.
'Hey look, daemons…', the prince groaned, 'And it's the mushy dessert kind…'.
As the team summoned their weapons, Kairi looked to her keyblade, recalling a certain spell she had learned the last time she was in a place like this. And if these monsters are indeed filled with darkness, then this may make the team's lives easier. Grasping the keyblade in both hands, she aimed upwards and cried: 'Rays of Light!'. Six beams of light rocketed off her keyblade and spiraled into the air before they charged down upon the flans like missiles.
The six rays each struck the flans, consuming them in small pillars of light so bright it lit the entire room in a soft yet powerful light. When it was done, the flans were no more, and the path was clear. Kairi smiled and looked to her keyblade with admiration before dismissing it. 'There we go, problem solved!', she said cheerfully. When nobody responded to her, she turned to see everyone bar Ignis stare at her.
'…what?', she asked nervously.
'When were you able to do that!?', Donald bellowed. 'Yeah, that just destroyed the daemons!', Prompto concurred while gesturing the space where the daemons were. Kairi sheepishly scratched her cheek as she bashfully said: 'I…I learned it when I was…asleep?'. 'You're telling me you can just make up instant kill attacks while you sleep?', Gladiolus said incredulously, laying his sword on his shoulder.
Kairi giggled weakly, realizing the wording. 'No, I meant…at the Vesperpool I…', she started, but then faltered when the memories of what the Master had showed her and the potential future that could occur. Her smile dimmed and Sora picked it up almost instantly and quickly joined in. 'Aww well! You can tell us later! Least we won't have to worry so much about the daemons further in!'. 'Sora's right', Noctis agreed, dismissing his weapon, 'No sense in looking a gift horse in the mouth'.
There were some hums of agreements and some just chalking it up to keyblade related stuff, with that they moved on with Sora giving a warm smile to the girl before he jogged with Riku. Kairi glanced at Noctis who shared the same look of concern she did. He gave her an understanding nod before they walked off to join the others while keeping a small distance from the main group. 'Was that new attack from your little trip with that "Master" dickhead?', he asked.
Rolling her eyes at the dirty insult, she said: 'Yes…he said he wanted to test me'. 'Did he say why?', Noctis asked. 'He said he wanted to see my true strength…but I'm not even sure if I did find that strength, he was so keen I had', Kairi explained. Shaking her head, doing her very best not to think about the nightmare worthy vision that man had forced her to endure. As happy as she was that she could address and make peace with Sora's scar, the less she thought on that day the better for her.
'Just who is that guy anyway?', Noctis asked. 'Is he with Xigbar?'. 'No…at least, he didn't seem to be in league with him', Kairi hummed, 'He didn't seem remotely interested in Xigbar's plans'. 'So, he's what? Acting on his own?'.
'I don't know…all I know is…he's dangerous', Kairi said with a frown. Rubbing her arm as a chill ran down her spine, thinking back to her "fight" with the man. And calling it a fight to her felt like she was trying to save her pride over the fact she was flicked away like a pesky bug. The power behind him was nothing she had ever felt before, even Sephiroth's power was nothing more than a fledgling keyblade wielder compared to him.
Kairi turned to him with worry. 'What about you? Did you have to fight him?'. Noctis shook his head. 'Lucky for me, I didn't. What he put me through was…something else', he mused. The prince's head went down as his expression darkened with a severe forlorn look on his face. Whatever the vision was must have been severe to the young king, Kairi gently placed a hand on his shoulder, comforting him. He gave her a grateful smile in response to her, nodding. 'Thanks…', he mused.
With that conversation stored for later, they re-joined the group, exiting the corridor and coming to a large cleared space.
Ignis made some observations that walls down here have fared much better than above, and the lanterns were still glowing with obvious magic still fuelling them. Further into the ruins with several cleared spots starting to look the same, they came to a much wide and spacious room with rubble and collapsed pillars around them. Much of the pathways had been destroyed likely from collapsed ceilings or just grown withered from time itself.
'This place looks ready to collapse altogether…', Riku muttered, looking at one of the fallen pillars. 'Let's try and not have a repeat of last time we explored a ruin', Ignis said, looking at the ruined ground. Some exploration, they found there was no other way done other than jumping down some pits. Aqua and Gladiolus headed down first in case of ambushes, and sure enough, they indeed encountered a daemon rising from the pool of blight.
A yojimbo rose up to face them, Gladiolus yelled out for the others to stay put until they deal with the daemon. He did this because the was little space for everyone to join in the fight, and the yojimbo's katana covered a lot of range.
The yojimbo immediately performed a quick draw at Aqua, only for the man to quickly intervene and parry the attack easily, deflecting the black blade. Aqua leaped over Gladiolus and dashed to the yojimbo, swinging her keyblade at it. Because of its weapon was deflected and being caught off guard, the woman had all the body of the daemon to strike at, and with its violet skin chest exposed, she plunged the keyblade into it and charged a blast of light into its chest.
The light pierced through the daemon's chest and left a hole in it. She flipped over it after she retracted the keyblade and landed on her feet as the daemon slowly sunk back into the pool of blight. Dismissing her keyblade as Gladiolus smirked at her before he called the others to join them. 'You two ok?', Goofy asked. 'Yeah, nothing to worry about, just not enough room for everyone', the shield said, gesturing the lack of space that was now more prominent with the others joining.
Deeper into the dungeon, the team crawled through a collapsed tunnel and upon reaching another cylinder-shaped room were above them there was another floor, a curved slope leading up to the next floor. More daemons had spawned before them, a cluster of violet bombs fluttering around them and grinning at the team. 'I got this!', Riku said, summoning Brave Heart and vanishing into the air.
He held the keyblade low, almost in the same manner of a samurai about to quick draw his sword, and then in a flash of light, he suddenly reappeared behind the bombs. Keyblade dismissed with a flick of his wrist as the bombs suddenly split in half and then vanished into the darkness. He smirked at the others as the joined up with him, 'Moving on then?', he asked casually. 'Pfft, show off', Kairi teased with a roll of her eyes. The others just nodded and proceeded up the slope.
Coming to a round walkway with one exit, they found themselves in a room resembling the room before falling into this level. No one commented and proceeded forth, climbing down a flight of stairs. There were two paths to choose from, forward and right before the team, which Gladiolus took the left to check out and found a door waiting for them. However, he decided against opening it, believing it'd be another dead end and their reward for the team's curiosity would be more daemons.
Heading for the straight path ahead of them, they see a clearing and further in was a room exactly like this one. Except before they all walked in, Ignis stopped the team by raising his hand, halting their movement. Narrowing his eyes, he took out one of the flasks Noctis made for him and told everyone to hold back for a moment. Next thing they knew Ignis suddenly ran into the and once he was a few steps from the doorway, he flung the flask at the wall on the right.
The explosion was a blizzard that covered the wall and most of the floor into a flurry of frost and ice as a blustering wind raced past the team and even made some of the lighter clothed members rub their arms with a chill. Running from the explosions were five bussemands, larger and bulkier cousins to the goblins, their violet skins taken a sheen of white frosting.
Quick as a bullet Ignis flung his spear at one and pierced its chest just as the daemons turned to see the instigator. Two of them skipped to the man, brandishing their large metal fists. Ignis summoned his twin daggers and slides around one of them when it took a swing to him, slicing its side during his slide. Using one dagger to parry the second bussemand's fist and then plunged the other dagger into its neck quickly and cleanly, Ignis flung the dagger in his left hand to the bussemand that tried to sneak up at him.
Like a professional dart player, his managed strike right between the eyes of the daemon, killing it instantly and then he tossed the melting daemon off himself. The final bussemand was in the air and tried to bring down its fits on Ignis, only for the man to recall his spear and with a single thrust, he struck the daemon in the chest, piercing it.
Dismissing his weapons and shaking his hands to rid himself of the shakes, he turned to the others. Some applaud while others cheered for him. Kairi cheekily elbowed Riku, 'Style and class~', she said. Riku pushed her playfully as she giggled, smirking at the man. 'And she calls me a show-off', he huffs. Ignis, however, pushed his glasses up, smirking at the boy in response. 'And is she wrong I wonder?'. Riku rolled his eyes, begrudgingly accepting the man's got a point.
They carried on their exploration, coming to another long slope that descended further into the tower. 'Jeez…how deep does this place go?', Prompto complained, looking at the slope. 'Just how deep underground have we gone?', Aqua asked, cupping her chin and looking at the ceiling in thought, 'Feels like we're much far down than the mines'. 'And likely we've still quite the ways to go', Ignis added with a small sigh escaping his lips.
Sora approached the railing and hopped up to peer the ground. Unfortunately, he couldn't even see the ground, implying the ground was still away to reach. 'Hey guys, how far do you think the ground floor is?', Sora asked casually. 'Farther than any of us would have liked', Gladiolus said with a huff, looking down at the slope, already dreading the daemons that would be waiting for them. 'Heh, if you're that curious, why not jump and find out?', Noctis said in a joking manner. He got a stern glare from Aqua and Ignis before he lifted his hands in defense.
'Hey, not a bad idea Noct!', Sora said.
'Yeah, thanks…WAIT WHAT!?', Noctis said, before his eyes widened in horror. The team turned to see Sora standing on the ledge and then before anyone could stop him, he jumped off and dived. 'SORA!', Kairi, Donald and Goofy cried out, reaching the ledge to see him disappear into the dark. 'YOU IDIOT!', Riku yelled, joining their side.
They searched for him but nothing. As the group stood there in shock, all but Kairi's eyes turned to Noctis with fury, even his royal retinue. 'Good going Noct!', Gladiolus said sarcastically. 'How was I supposed to know he'd do it!? I know Riku calls him an idiot, but I didn't think he meant he was an idiot!', argued back the prince. Even Noctis sounded close to panicking over the potential fact he may have just gotten one of their strongest members killed as Prompto started to pace in place and Ignis looked ready to tear his hair out.
'H-He can survive that right!? RIGHT!?', Prompto asked, looking to Aqua who was looking like she was gonna have a full-on panic attack. 'I, I don't know!'. Kairi got off the railing and stood still for a moment as all eyes slowly turned to her. She turned her head to Noctis with the most murderous look the team had ever seen, eyes red with fire and there was a menacing fiery aura surrounding her entire body as if she had become a literal angel of fiery death.
Noctis paled when she summoned her keyblade, also covered in golden flames. 'K-Kairi…I know I messed up here b-b-but', he stammered, completely afraid of her now. Even Ignis couldn't strike such fear into his heart. Kairi nearly lunged at him before Donald and Goofy lurched forward to grab her and struggle to hold her in place. 'I'M GONNA KILL HIM! I'LL KILL HIM I SWEAR TO RAMUH! LUNAFREYA I'M SORRY BUT YOU'RE GONNA BE A WIDOW!'.
'Kairi! Calm down!', Goofy pleaded, struggling to hold her back via shoulder hold while Donald struggled to keep her legs in place. 'Yeah, you can't kill the prince!', the duck said. 'THE LUCIS BLOODLINE ENDS WITH NOCTIS!', Kairi declared. Gladiolus wisely kept Noctis behind him and raised his shield in the likely case Kairi breaks free from her friend's desperate grip. Even Prompto looked like he was readying for his gun to keep himself safe.
'Oh, he's ok', Riku announced.
They all turned to him on his GP, showing everyone a selfie of Sora showing the bottom floor with the text: "Holy moly is it deep! On my way back up! :D".
When the message was read by everyone, Kairi's fiery aura disappeared as her keyblade. Sensing she calmed down and her desire to end the Lucis line had passed, the two released her as she looked at her GP to see the same message for her. 'Oh, thank goodness', she breathed in relief. ' "I'm sorry I nearly attempted to murder you Noct",', the prince said with a snarky tone, ' "No its cool Kairi, I get it",'.
'Oh, good then you understand why I was going to harm you', Kairi said with a cheek and a smirk, 'Glad we're on the same page Noct!'. Noctis grumbled angrily at her as they started to hear rapid footsteps coming from the ledge. They turned to see Sora suddenly step on top of the railing and beamed at the others, looking sweaty but none the least bit exhausted. 'It's pretty far down, but I think we can use it as a short cut!', Sora said, panting a little.
'Wait…you're not suggesting we…jump down, are you?', Gladiolus said, eyeing the boy. He hopped off the railing and said: 'Well we can take the longer and more violent pathway if you guys want'. Everyone looked at each other before Aqua hummed. 'Hang on…maybe there is a safe way down…', she said. 'If me and Donald can create a more powerful Aero spell that could not only slow our descent but also create a soft landing for us…'.
'Uhh…you two *sure* that'll work? And uh, heh, not get us killed?', Prompto asked, backstepping away from the two. 'With enough magic combined, it should work', Donald said with a hum. 'But maybe it'd be a good idea if someone goes down there first and create one'. They all glanced at each other before Sora raised his hand to volunteer, grinning stupidly. 'I can go down first!', he said with a smile. Aqua, however, crossed her arms. 'Sora, I don't think your magic will be enough to create an Aero that large', she said with concern.
'Oh! Don't worry, I'll bring Kairi with me!', he said, 'Her magic will be more than enough!'. Kairi suddenly turned white as a sheet as all eyes fell to her. Nerves on alert as she began to sweat, Kairi weakly smiled and waved her hands. 'Heh…heh…. NOPE!', Kairi said, nearly dashing back to the entrance but her jacket was caught by Gladiolus as she ran on the spot. 'Nope, you're not getting out of this kiddo', Gladiolus remarked.
'Aqua! Your boyfriend is bullying me!', Kairi said, increasing her running. 'Gladio dear, please hand her over to Sora so they may make their descent', Aqua said with a cheeky smirk. 'Yes sweetheart', Gladiolus said with a malicious grin. He hoisted Kairi over his shoulder as she struggled against him like a wild animal, flailing her arms and legs as she let out yells of protest. When the shield got close with Sora standing on the railing, he handed her to him.
'Sora! Don't even think about jumping!', she ordered as he shifted his grip on her. 'Kairi, relax~', he said calmly, 'I won't jump'. 'Good…!', Kairi sighed in relief as he held her bridal style. 'We're just gonna drop off'.
'WHAT!?', was the last word Kairi could cry out before both teens plummeted down the ground, her yells of terror echoing throughout the dungeon. As the wind rushed against her face and through her hair Kairi shut her eyes and buried her face into Sora's chest, still screaming in terror.
Sora then performed a few flips and then he placed his feet against the tower when they nearly reached the end of the tower. He bounced off the wall and leaped into the air with one final flip before he landed on his feet. Once he and Kairi were on the ground, he glanced at the girl still face buried into her boyfriend's chest, shaking her. 'Ok, we're here', he said calmly. Kairi slowly peered from her hiding and looked to see indeed they were on the ground floor again, then let out a deep sigh and slumped into his arms.
'See? That wasn't so bad!', he said grinning. 'If I wasn't to relived not be become a splat on the ground…I'd slap you for scaring the heck out of me…', Kairi said. Sora laughed in kind, gently smiling at her. 'Didn't you trust me to keep you safe?', he asked with a playful smile. Kairi frowned at him. 'You never told me you could fall from that height and come out unscathed!', she argued. 'I thought you…just didn't think it through…'. She lowered her gaze before Sora pecked her forehead. 'Sorry about that, I forgot you didn't know Flowmotion', he apologized, placing her back on her feet.
'Flow…what?', she asked. 'Flowmotion! Riku and I learned it while we were taking the exam', he explained, 'It's a trick that uses some magic that helps us traverse around the environment'. To show her, Sora ran to the wall and once he started to run up it, she sees his body was coated in blue light as he scaled the tower, before he jumped off it with a backflip and while summoning his keyblade, he dived back to the ground.
He slammed the keyblade into the ground a few feet from Kairi, blasting a blue wave of magic from the striking point. He gave her a grin as she looked at him with awe before he dismissed his keyblade. 'See? It makes getting around the place easier and it's useful against the heartless', Sora said with a smile. Kairi applauded his demonstration, smiling at him. 'You're gonna have to teach me that next', she said. 'Absolutely! Imagine how strong you'll be, and with your magic, you'd be untouchable!', he said encouragingly. Kairi bashfully smile as she ducks her head to hide her blush, having Sora praising her still has that wondrous feeling.
After the afterglow of Sora's praises, she took in their surroundings. The place had a blue-grey hue to it, there were four squares of strange stone platforms around them in a corner with several built monoliths of stone.
'Where, are we supposed to go next?', Kairi asked, noticing there was no other exit or passageway for them. 'I dunno, I didn't look around when I first came down here, maybe Iggy or Aqua would know what to do', Sora said. Kairi turned to him as he texted Riku that they had arrived at the ground floor. 'Okie Dokie, time to get started', he said, summoning his keyblade. Nodding, Kairi did the same and together they combined their magic to create a powerful gust of wind in the space between them.
Above they could see the rest of their team falling to them, some screaming and some cursing profusely while Goofy screamed that usual scream of his. Thanks to Kairi and Sora's combined magic and with Aqua creating her vortex of wind, their fall was slower than Sora's and upon reaching the vortex they created, they all landed safely onto the vortex and after one bounce up, they each landed on their feet.
'HOLY SHIT THAT WAS TERRIFYING!', Prompto yelled, falling onto his knees, 'Promise me we're NEVER doing that again!'.
'Yeah…gonna side with Prom on this one…', Gladiolus said, shaking his head, 'How the hell do you guys do this so casually?'. 'Plenty of practice to get used to it', Sora laughed, thinking back to all those times he fell from crazy heights. He turned back to Ignis, 'But we've got a problem, there's no way to go on'. Taking in their surroundings, the strategist frowned when true to Sora's word there was indeed nowhere else to go. 'Was there anything out of the ordinary?', he asked, turning to the boy. 'Well, there are those weird-looking stones over there', Sora said, pointing to them.
The team approached the white floor with blue lights, but when they all stepped on them, suddenly the floor began to descend. 'Whoa!', Donald said, nearly losing his footing. 'Guess we're going down', Riku said with indifference, looking around them as they went below the floor. The floor stopped going down but then it started to slide into the wall, leaving a gap that grew larger and larger until the team eventually all jumped down to the next floor.
'Oooh, this feels so clustered', Kairi said with a shudder, not at all enjoying how little space they all had between them. 'Feels like we're being stuffed in a shoebox…', Gladiolus said, nearly elbowing Riku in the jaw with how little room he had. Noctis approached the wall that had the same blue light and stone as the floor and pressed his hand against it. The wall began to slide to the left into the way, exposing another path for them.
They stood on the spot with the same floor from above but there was another on the wall. Noctis again pressed it. They kept repeating this for some time, they would press on the strange walls or floors, fight some daemons in tight spaces and so on until they finally free themselves from this random puzzling spot. The walls around them were darkish grey but no more of the blue lights. Down the path was another one on their left, leading them into a very long and empty corridor.
'Looks like we're done with those puzzle blocks…', Sora said. 'Least now we don't have to worry about getting squished', Aqua said with relief.
They walked down the corridor and then came to a large open space, but their troubles were far from over. Several pools of blight began to form ahead of them, flans spewing forth while three iron giants spawned near them along with one naga, slithering up to face them.
The team immediately drew their weapons as the daemons readied for the attack. 'You have got to be kidding…', Noctis said, looking at the horde of monsters. 'Well, it's either a bunch of daemons…or we try our luck at real-life Tetris', Gladiolus remarked. As he finished that sentence however, black portals appeared near the daemons and put came a variety of heartless poured forth from them along with black flames appearing near the golems.
Six Invisibles, three defenders that were colored red as opposed to the usual colored ones, four dual blade heartless and finally two metal trolls that rival in size to the daemon golems. '…can we go back to the moving blocks?', Prompto squeaked, gun aimed at pretty much everything in front of them. 'I'm inclined to agree with Prompto here', Aqua said with a grunt, looking at the horde of monsters for them.
'No turning back now!', Noctis said, warp-striking at the horde. Sora turned to the other world heroes, who nodded and then all six of them ran into the fray, followed closely by the other royal retinue.
The prince stabbed into the chest of an iron giant, plunged his sword into it. The giant attempted to grab the prince only for Noctis to leap off it with the sword still embedded into it, summoning a royal arm, Axe of the Conquer. He warped struck into its stomach with the force of a speeding train, making it stagger back before one more warp just above its head and brought down the axe right on the skull.
The axe crushed the head of the daemon and slowly it melted back into the pool of the blight, allowing Noctis to warp at the other monsters, arms returned. As he eyed another golem, the prince barely had the chance to evade the strikes from an invisible that flew to him and thrust its sword at him. Noctis flipped in the air before he warped back down to the ground, drawing his engine blade and met with the invisible's sword.
Riku and Ignis took on one of the metal trolls as it swung its axe at them and used the free empty hand to punch the ground where they stood. The advisor slides over the sweeping axe, getting close enough to the legs and then he plunged one dagger inside its ankle. With the troll in pain and distracted, Riku charged his left arm with darkness until it coated his greave entirely in black flames. With a roar he aimed his palm at the troll and fired a large violet and black ball of fire at the troll, igniting it upon the explosive impact.
The troll now possessed a gaping hole in its chest with embers dancing around the edge of the hole before it disappeared into nothing, a single heart fluttering into the sky. The two warriors gave each other a nod before they separated and ran to aid the others. Ignis performed a large jump with spear in hand and leaped into the air, and upon seeing Goofy was being swarmed by two dual blades and one red defender, he pounced upon the defender.
His spear landed right between the back of its shoulder blades and pierced through it and stuck in the ground, the heartless disappearing instantly. The dual blades turned to the man, drawing his twin daggers and staring them down.
Kairi had busied herself with the flans, jumping in the air and dancing around the sludge monsters with far superior mobility and speed against their dragging movement. Keeping her magic reserved and occasionally striking them when they got to close to her, she managed to obtain enough magical energy to change into Strike-Form and shift her keyblade into Dual-Blade, which not only helped cut them all easily but she decided it was time to see if her magic would change.
Spinning the weapon in her hands, she chanted ice magic and then her twin blades were coated with frost and mist. She swung her weapon sideways which created a disc-shaped beam of ice that soared at the flans. Three that were hit were almost instantly turned into frozen popsicles, making short work of them. Kairi next used fire magic, spinning her blades until that turned into literal blades of fire before she swung the top and bottom blades in arcs, sending waves of blade-shaped fire at the flans, burning most of them into hot sludge.
Grinning to herself that she was making short work of the flans and taking the odds into their favor, Kairi was just ready to finish off the rest, until she turned around in time to just guard against two sneaking invisibles bringing both their swords down on her, making the poor girl nearly lose her footing thanks to the combined might of the two strongest pure blood heartless. Kairi staggered backward as she fended off the two larger blades against hers, parrying and deflecting them.
On the other side of the princess' battlefield, Prompto was ducking and rolling from the large sweeping blade of the iron giant while Donald was firing ice and lightning magic at the giant. Their attacks, unfortunately, did little but provoke the monster though as its dense armor was too much for Donald's magic and Prompto's bullets bounced off it like he was just shooting a wall of steel. When the giant slammed its sword upon the ground just when the two split off from the attack, Prompto took a chance to use his RPG from the pocket dimension and aimed.
As the giant turned to the boy and likely would have used its fist to crush him, Donald quacked: 'STOPGA!'. Glyphs of clocks appeared around the giant moving before coming to a complete halt, freezing the giant entirely. Taking this chance to do some real damage, Prompto aimed and fired one rocket at the head of the daemon, exploding the moment it landed. Donald's spell ended just as the smoke cleared from the explosion, and the daemon was no more, sinking into the blighted pool.
The two gave each other thumbs up before Prompto was then struck by a dual blade, slashing his back and throwing him onto his stomach. With a yell before he fell, Prompto shook in pain as his RPG fell and slides away from the gunner as the heartless stood over him, readying the final blow. Donald suddenly leaped onto the heartless with staff in hand, smashing the top right onto the head of the bladed monster.
It recoils from the damage, giving Donald time to turn to Prompto and give him healing magic, healing his wound. The very moment the pain disappeared, Prompto turned onto his back, revolver in both hands, and fired one bullet at the attacker. The bullet struck into the chest which made it fall onto its back, which Donald finished it with a bolt of lightning from above.
Near the pathway where they came from, Aqua was dancing around three invisibles and dual blades weapons, parrying their swords and evading them at once. One invisible lunged its blade at her, making the master strike it and send the sword upwards and with a spin and step forward, she slashed its chest and cleaved it in half. As she took her exit out of the mosh pit of heartless, Aqua changed into Blitz-Form, shifting her keyblade into the Blade and Sickle form.
Spinning the sickle in hand quickly, Aqua tossed the sickle at the invisible and luckily wrapped the chain around it. She quickly made a sharp tug on the weapon, which caused the sickle to bury itself into the invisible's chest. As the other invisible dashed towards her, Aqua threw her leg over the chain holding the other invisible, wrapping it around her leg and then pulled it. The powerful pull she managed to bring over the invisible into the crossfire and made a collision with the charging invisible, both bashing into each other.
The dual blade leaps into the air over the bundle of invisibles and dived towards the woman. Aqua spun the ball-chain and flung it toward it in a straight line, the ball colliding with the head of the dual blade with a loud *clang*. The bladed heartless fell to the ground, disorientated and vulnerable for a kill. Aqua spun the ball again, but before she could finish it off, she was then grabbed by an iron giant's fist.
Lifted into the air, Aqua struggled to break free from it as the daemon tightened its grip on the woman, earning a yell of pain from the master. The dual blade heartless recovered and leaped onto the giant's shoulders, running towards the woman to claim her head. As Aqua fought against being crushed, the heartless didn't get much closer to her, instead, it was blasted by a raging ball of fire that knocked it off the giant's shoulders and burnt to ash.
Aqua looked to see Gladiolus leaping into the air, the masamune sword in both hands as he brought it down onto the giant's arm with a roar. The sword cleanly severed the giant's hand, freeing Aqua as the two warriors of light landed back on their feet, the giant grasping the severed wrist in utter agony. Aqua then re-summoned her sickle and chain, nodding to Gladiolus in gratitude before she gathered up energy.
Her weapon glowed into a shining light as it shifted into a brand-new weapon for her. The sickle changed into a straight but shorter katana like weapons while the chain and ball melded into three star-shaped shurikens. Even her clothes changed slightly, now she dons a dark jaded face mask covering her jaw to below her nose while her armor shifted in to make her look more akin to a ninja. She glanced at Gladiolus, who stared at her with awe before whistling. 'Nice touch', he compliment, gesturing the mask.
If only the mask could have covered her cheeks to hide the blush…
Before she could reply, hopefully, in equal flirt, Gladiolus raised his shield up. 'Mind if I borrow some magic?', he asked. Behind her mask, she smirked as she sees him eyeing the invisibles evilly. Placing her wakizashi upon the face of the shield, she instilled a large portion of her magic, mostly elemental based. 'Have fun experimenting!', she said, turning to the giant and dashing towards it. Gladiolus laughed in kind, lifting the shield as the invisibles stared down at him, though he sees one was hunched over.
Stabbing his sword into the ground, Gladiolus lifted his shield as the eyes turned into dark blue. The warrior punched his shield and in turn, fired a stream of icy mist at the invisibles with a speed too great for them to evade in time, covering them in a fog of cold. Their forms were frozen solid as Gladiolus placed a hand on the flat surface of his shield and somehow changed it from blue eyes to yellow eyes. He then ran at the helpless invisibles, lowering his shield as lighting sparked from the mouth and the moment, he got close enough, he let out a roar and punched the invisibles with a shield covered in lightning.
To say he demolished the heartless would have been a massive understatement.
Aqua dashed towards the iron giant that lost its hand, wakizashi sheathed on her lower back, her speed greater than it had ever been as it helpless tried to strike her with its sword to no avail. She seemingly could not be touched by the blade despite how much space it covered, it as if she was the air. In quick succession that rivaled a machine gun, the master tossed the shurikens at the golem's body, each charged with light magic.
The light blessed weapons pierced the golem's chest while one struck its right shoulder.
Jumping into the air as she charged to the giant, Aqua drew her blade.
In a flash of light, Aqua landed behind the giant on one knee, slowly sheathing her weapon behind her as flashes of light boomed around the giant's body. It slowly sunk to its knees and then disappeared like its brethren before it. Aqua re-summoned her shurikens before vanishing to hunt for more.
Sora sliced through a defender, shield and all before he ran to the iron troll. The hero changed into his Element-Form with a keyblade from a world with a girl with long hair, he changed the weapon into a staff.
The troll swung its massive mechanical axe at the boy but when it hits Sora it merely went through him as if it didn't hit him at all. Above it was another Sora firing a rainfall of light at it, on the left was ANOTHER Sora blasting it with light magic. The real Sora was already in front of it, sliding on the ground as if he was riding a skateboard, swerving around the giant's feet and using the staff to strike at it with physical strikes as opposed to his illusionary Sora's attacking with magic or distracting it.
The troll stood little chance against his enemy on his own, now Sora was merely hastening its demise. The four Sora forces fired a barrage of light magic at the troll, bathing in holy light before destroying it entirely. Sliding on the ground as his clones disappeared, Sora turned to see Noctis being struck by an invisible's blade, cutting him from shoulder to left hip and making the prince fly back from the force.
Grunting, Sora undid his form change and quickly air dashed to the prince just in time to block a second attack from the invisible. He pushed the dark blade aside and stabbed it right into its stomach, killing the fallen angel like heartless. Turning to the prince, with his clothes torn from the strike and flesh glistening with red, Sora quickly knelt and handed him a hi-potion. 'This should help', he said comfortingly. The prince took the item from him and quickly downed it, healing himself. 'How many more of these things are there?', he grunted.
'Not much more, we're…', Sora said, but his words were quickly cut short when he was blasted by a ball of flames that threw him into a wall. Noctis turned to the direction of the fireball to see a new kind of invisible looming over them, black flames cloaking its left hand. It was much taller and slimmer than its kind, but with more jagged line for wings with flames dancing around them, the swords they used floating around it, counting to seven all together including the one in hand. A crystal red heartless emblem stamped onto its chest.
The horns melded to create a heartless emblem from them, its tail end was shaped like a guillotine blade, the blight manifesting from its's body as it raised its sword to the prince. Noctis turned to Sora on his side, his clothes were still licked by embers as he tried to get back up onto his feet. The daemon heartless dashed to the boy for the kill, only for Noctis to interrupt its charge and warp-tackle it, using a shield instead of his sword to slam the cross-bred.
The heartless pushed him off the prince, now turning its attention on the future king. Noctis quickly unleashed his Armiger, growling. 'You're gonna regret that', he promised before he jumped with his weapons.
Ignis parried and blocked the dual blades wild and coordinated strikes, sparks flying off both blades, but the heartless had managed to nick and scratch the man's body, clothes nicked in several parts. The heartless' blade lurched forward to the man's face, causing Ignis to quickly lean his head back but the blade cut the bridge between his glasses, causing them to fall off his face.
The glasses fell to the ground with one breaking and the other cracking. Ignis stared at the broken spectacles, before turning onto the heartless with restraint fury. 'That…was a very poor decision', Ignis said darkly. The heartless struck again but the man was quicker than the beast, his right hand flew up like a bullet and sliced the blade in half, then he kicked the heartless in the chest and pushed it back from him.
When it regained its footing, it looked at the man, now in his hand was a magic flask. Ignis crushed it between his palms, instead of exploding his arms were now covered in both flames and lighting, daggers re-appearing in his hand. Coldly, Ignis ran to the heartless, swinging his blades so quick they appeared as blurs to even a superior monster. The heartless tried to block even one attack of his, but Ignis sliced and diced the being like someone tossed it into a blender.
There was silence when Ignis finished, walking away from the heartless before its body was covered in fire and lightning, then mercifully disappearing to nothing. Scoffing at his lack of spectacles, the man turned to Goofy pressing his shield against the final defender, seemingly in a deadlock. Taking this chance to aid his ally, Ignis ran to the defender and jumped. He brought both daggers down into the defender's back, plunging the hilt of the dagger deep into the heartless. The heartless' stance was ruined by the surprise attack and it loses the strength to go against Goofy.
The captain of the guard reeled his shield back and then tackled the heartless when it raised the shield, smacking into his chest and pushing it onto its back. Goofy then slammed the shield edged first into the head of the heartless, killing it.
The other world hero panted tiredly, looking at Ignis who shared the same sentiment of exhaustion before he turned to their companions, seeing Noctis fighting off a new breed of heartless with Sora trying to get back to his feet. 'I'll tend to Sora, go help the others!', he ordered, sprinting off to the boy.
Riku sidestepped the large blade from the giant, narrowly missing his feet as he flipped over the sword and fired another dark firaga at it. The attack exploded upon hitting its shoulders but did nothing more. The giant swung its fist into the ground, creating a tremor that shook the ground beneath Riku's feet and the shockwaves threw him off his feet and onto his back. Rolling backward onto his feet, the boy raised his keyblade and turned into his Guardian-Form, bring out his sword and shield.
Rushing into the fray at the daemon sweeps its sword towards him Riku threw his shield at the daemon's head, smacking right between where its eyes presumably are and making it recoil in pain. Grabbing his sword in both hands, he channeled the darkness within him into it until it grew larger into Gladiolus sized in a violet light. With a yell and jumped into the air just as the daemon swung its sword at him. Riku spun around and cleaved the daemon's sword in half and then with a front flip, brought the violet blade down onto the daemon, cutting it in half.
As it started to descend back into the blight it split in two.
His sword returning to normal as he recalled his shield, grunting with weariness before he looked to see Kairi still fighting off two invisibles. Taking in some deep breaths, he ran to her.
As Riku ran to her, suddenly he blocked by the naga, slamming its body before him. He stepped back to look at the human-faced monster, its fork tongue hissing at him as it hissed. Gritting his teeth, he raised the shield up as he slowly walked around as it eyed him, planning to strike him. The daemon lunged forward with its massive maw opened to munch on him, Riku jumped to the left, evading it while swinging his sword at it.
The naga turned on him and spewed a violet mist at him too quick for him to get out. He accidentally inhaled it, and then instantly his body had frozen entirely while it became too hard to breathe and finally, he felt sick from it.
He fell onto his knee as his strength evaporated and his body grew heavy, just barely enough strength to keep his head up as the naga leered at him like he was a tasty morsel. It leaned back and then with a lunge it dove to the boy. Before Riku would have become its dinner, the naga was stricken by a tackling Gladiolus with his shield, hitting it with shoulder and shield combined and knocking the naga forward. As the snake beast tumbled onto its body, Gladiolus stood near it with sword and shield ready.
'Riku!'.
The boy was then tended by Prompto, holding a golden-ish bottle in his hand. He uncorked it and held it beneath his nose and the moment he sniffed it his body awakened and that paralysis had been cured. He fell onto his hands and hacked, groaning and sounding close to vomiting. 'Hold on a bit buddy', Prompto said, handing him a light-colored bottle. Riku took it and downed it, his body being purged from the poison and whatever ailments that plagued his body. He gave the blonde a nod of thanks as Gladiolus struck at the naga, cutting its snake tail.
The naga hissed in fury at the shield, reeling its head back just as he struck again, missing the neck. It slammed into Gladiolus and smashed him into the ground with a loud crack resonating through the room, his roars of pain accompanying the sounds. 'Gladio!', Prompto shouted, turning on the naga. He ran in and took out his machine gun and began to fire at it, which thankfully kept it off the shield. Riku got to his feet, shaking and still feeling lightly ill before he turned on the serpent, and then with his weapons, he activated the second form.
His shield turned into two black long axe blades as his sword turned into a polearm of silver, as tall as Gladiolus. Grabbing the weapon in both hands, he ran forward to the naga as it hissed and lunged at Prompto, the latter shooting at it and keeping himself at a distance. This obsession with killing the blonde was perfect for Riku as he ran at the naga with full speed and with a loud cry, he swung the axe right at its mid-section and the axe ate through the middle of the naga, splitting it in half as the upper torso was thrown into the air.
Spinning around after his cleaving, Riku threw the axe right at the naga's face, the blade plunged deep into its forehead and sending it flying across the battlefield. When the torso fell with a heavy thud, its body evaporated into nothingness as Riku reclaimed his axe, panting tiredly before the weapon shifted back into his keyblade, exhaustion taking its toll on the boy before he collapsed onto his knee. He waved Prompto off, gesturing the struggling to stand shield with a grunt.
Kairi pushed back one invisible before she swung at the other, cutting its shoulder mid-swing. She turned around to the other one but before she could do anything to attack it, she felt an explosive pain in her back that tossed her onto her stomach with a heavy thud. She grunted in pain, feeling the intense heat burn into her back as she turned to the invisibles looming over her. Quickly she rolled away from their blades and flipped back onto her feet.
The princess spun her weapon above her head as light began to shine around it. 'Rays of Light!', she cried. From the rotating blades, six beams of light flew from them and into the air before they dived to the invisibles. The purebloods flew over the field, the light rays chasing them like missiles in the air as Kairi managed to cast her last cure spell over herself and a little bit of an icy fog to douse any embers on her back.
To her misfortune, the rays were unable to hit the invisibles as they evaded them and/or slashed them to nothing with their corrupted swords. With her magic low and strength waning, Kairi looked to her weapon and nodded when she felt the magic energy needed was within her. Spinning it in one hand, she aimed it high and cried out: 'Here goes!'. As her weapon glowed in a light unlike the other keyblade wielders, power resonated within her as she was bathed in a light that shined and brightened the entire room.
The invisibles charged towards the light, but only one was wise enough to steer from getting within the princess' range because the next thing they saw were spinning blades of light that sliced through the invisible that was too close for comfort, splitting it into before it spun back to Kairi.
Now in the princess' hand was a Crossed-Pike, a weapon in the shape of a star with two pikes combined into a star, the blade beautiful white with the poles red and gold, her pearl necklace being in the centerpiece that acts as a lock to keep them together. The princess of light grabbed the weapon with both hands as the pearl shined in an X pattern, unlocking the weapon into two pikes, a blade on each end.
Kairi ran at the invisible, throwing one pike at it that soared like an arrow, and when she jumped into the air, she spun her weapon in her hand and turned onto the final flan that had evaded her wrath for too long. As the blades were caked with flames, she swung the weapon creating two arcs of flames at the flan, incinerating it into nothing as the weapon she threw struck the invisible's weapon out of its hand. Kairi dove to the final invisible and plunged her pike right into its torso, finishing off the last of the invisibles.
When the body disappeared, Kairi fell onto the ground with a thud, her weapon reverting into Destiny's Embrace as she laid there, exhausted and sore.
With the prince and hero, Noctis kept up with the daemon-heartless' speed with his armiger going at it wildly, sparks flew across the field as Noctis flew in the air, his ethereal weapons taking as much space as they could whilst fending off the weapons the cross-bred possessed. The prince had taken several hits during their skirmish as much as he gave the monster, his clothes torn asunder and even his jacket was barely holding itself together.
Ignis arrived at Sora and handed him a hi-potion, healing his wounds to manageable levels. The boy nodded and thanked the man, turning to Noctis as the prince flipped backward. His armiger state ending and leaving the prince too winded to do more than weakly use what was left of his mana to phase through the attacks. 'I'll give him a hand, go check on the others!', Sora said, re-summoning his keyblade and running to the older boy.
Sora jumped between the cross-bred and Noctis, keyblade in hand as he quickly swung it around the swords, parrying them all to give his friend breathing space. As his body started to glow with magic energy, Sora's keyblade shined brilliantly before he started to swipe at the daemon quickly whilst being levitated into the air. In quick succession Sora strikes the five weapons, his keyblade utterly shattering them into nothing but shards, then he aimed his keyblade at the daemon.
Glyphs appeared in front of the keyblade and then Sora cried out: 'RAGNAROK!'. Twenty golden-red rays of power flew from it and charged towards the cross-bred, striking it repeatedly with small explosions of fire, but it wasn't complete. Quickly taking this chance, behind the hero Noctis warped above them and threw his two magic flasks at the daemon just as the last two beams struck it. They instead hit the two flasks and then caused a massive explosion that nearly lit up the entire room.
Sora and Noctis were both blown back from this attack, landing on their backs with heavy thuds and grunts emitted from their mouths. When sat up quickly to see if their joint attack did enough to put this battle to an end, and by the luck of the Astrals, there was no sight of the cross-bred. Both slumped onto their backs, panting and chuckling together. 'That…was rough', Noctis huffed tiredly, looking at his friend. 'Yeah…but we won', Sora said, grinning tiredly.
The two weakly got back to their feet as the others re-joined them, not much better looking than them. Many of their gears were burnt, torn or damaged, their wounds concerning as some of them were leaning on each other to keep them up. Sora frowned with worry when he sees Kairi is being supported by Aqua and Riku by Prompto.
Luckily Donald and Goofy didn't seem to be in worse condition, but the exhaustion on their faces showed how much the battle took out of them. The Crownsguard looked no worse than the keyblade wielders but far from better. 'Is everyone ok?', Sora asked, eyeing everyone. 'We're in less than favorable conditions, that much is clear', Ignis said with a sigh, plucking out another pair of glasses from his breast pocket.
'And we still haven't found the royal arm…', Gladiolus grunted.
As he said this, they all looked down to the only other corridor before them and in wait was what looked to be an elevator. 'What are the chances that this is where we gotta go to?', Riku grunted out with a wary glance. With no more potions on hand, and their mana depleted, the team reluctantly proceeded on. However, upon reaching the elevator, Aqua stated that herself, Sora and Noctis would go on alone.
As she was the least wounded or exhausted, she needed Sora to back her up and Noctis being the only one who can touch the arms, there was no reason to drag their wounded team further into danger. Despite protests, Noctis himself ordered them to stay behind and rest. The three descended the elevator and sure enough, as they feared, they found the daemon that had stolen the arm of Noctis' ancestors.
'Terrific…suppose it was too much to ask for it to die from starvation…', Noctis groaned out. 'Stand back…', Aqua said, raising her arm. 'I'll deal with it'. Before either boy could stop her, Aqua ran into the fight, keyblade glowing immensely and they felt the power radiating from it. As the daemon roared at her, Aqua stood before it and aimed her weapon at the daemon with both hands on the keyblade.
'NEO ULTIMA!'.
Aqua's entire body was coated in a dark blue light as her keyblade formed a small greenish-black sphere from the tip, the light from her all trailed to her keyblade until it all manifested into the sphere as it flew off her weapon. The sphere struck the daemon, and then it created a massive dome of greenish-black that utterly condensed smaller and smaller until the explosion almost covered the entire place, the wind rushing past the two boys as they struggled to keep their stance.
As the dust settled and the wind calmed, they looked to see where the daemon stood was nothing more than ruins, the ground looked to have been beating into a pulp, the walls were no more as the red lights that powered the room were gone, cackles of lighting sparked here and there.
Aqua stood there, keyblade aimed at the daemon's original spot. Her hands shook as she dropped the keyblade and fell forward with a thud, completely out. 'AQUA!', the two cried, running to her side, kneeling to her. She was unconscious, breathing slowly and her complexion was pale. 'W-What kind of spell was that!?', Noctis asked, looking at the boy. 'I dunno! I've never seen her do that before!', he said back.
Grunting with worry, the prince turned to see the royal arm awaiting him, unharmed by the spell. He got up and reached the weapon, allowing it to float into the air, turn into a crystal form of itself before impaling the prince. Absorbing the crystal and adding it to his arsenal, Noctis nodded with confirmation. 'Come on, let's get the hell out of here', he said as Sora picked Aqua up, her keyblade disappearing.
Nodding, the two returned to the elevator and arriving to see their friends looking even more worried when they saw their sleeping friend. 'What the hell happened to her?', Gladiolus asked, approaching them. 'Other than her killing the daemon on her own?', Noctis said with a scoff, 'She used some spell that took a lot out of her'.
'She called it "Neo Ultima",', Sora said, looking at Donald. 'Do you know what that is?'. 'That's a very powerful spell, even the King can't cast it without wearing himself…wait, did you say "Neo"?', the duck said, turning his tone into a questioning one. Sora nodded as he handed her to Gladiolus. 'Oh boy…that's not good, she's gonna be out like a light for hours', Donald sighed. 'Hate to sound like Prompto whenever we go dungeon exploring but I think we're all nearing the end of our ropes, Donald', Noctis sighed.
'And we've still gotta fight our way back up that tower…', Riku sighed, 'And we're all running on fumes'.
While they all contemplated their predicament, Goofy stopped walking when he saw that bronze and red platform. 'Hey fellas, doesn't that look familiar?', he said, pointing at the strange platform. The rest of the party looked at it before Ignis hummed. 'Yes, we saw that on our way in at the entrance to the stairs', he said. 'Maybe its an exit?', Noctis offered hopefully.
'Or a way to a new level of hell', Gladiolus countered with a grunt. 'We're gonna be fighting our way through hell, either way, may as well see if this can help us out', Riku said with a huff. As they all hesitantly approached the platform, when they all stood on it, it started to glow red and then the next thing they all knew they were teleported.
As their views weren't obscured by magic anymore, they all let out breaths of pure relief when they see the night sky above them. 'Oh thank all that is good…', Ignis sighed with content.
They all climbed the stairs out of the ruins and immediately headed for the Haven nearest to them, far too exhausted to drive. Reaching it, they set camp and just bid each other a good night as they all headed for their bedrolls. Aqua was placed in the same tent with Gladiolus just in case she woke up, Kairi shared a tent with the boys and Noctis took Donald and Goofy into their own.
Only one arm remained…
