The electric gates began revolving around N. Trophy, so Kairi ran along side them until he began using his staff to fire off laser beams at her from above which she had to work to dodge along with moving forward so as to not get caught by the beams.
Eventually, they shut off but Trophy's shield was still up.
"You haven't impressed me!" Kairi exclaims.
"I'm just getting warmed up. Your time is running out." Trophy blankly states. He then begins casting firaga at Kairi which she avoids. He continues using firaga while adding in his own laser beams which Kairi doesn't find the latter too had to dodge.
As he is doing this, the laser beams stop and his shield goes down. It seemed his own magic level was kept separate from the keyblade. Kairi takes this opportunity to perform her "seven wishes" move on him, performing multiple dash attacks in quick succession before his shield comes up.
Once it is up, so do the electric gates come up too. They begin to move again, this time just a little bit faster.
"I have learned this with my own magic recently. It seems you've crossed me at the wrong time." Trophy says, before summoning four transparent clones of himself that lacked the keyblade. These are the N. Trophy ghosts.
"Ugh, would you stop making time puns?" Kairi groans to herself as the ghosts move in for close range attack. Kairi deflects a strike from one and hits back, causing the ghost to dissolve. 'Not very durable.' Kairi thinks as she thundaga's two more out of existence before narrowly dodging one of the original N. Trophy's laser beams.
He throws more down as Kairi dodges them over to the last ghost which she briefly sword fights (or staff and keyblade fights if your picky) until she strikes him down.
The gates dissolve and Trophy casts a blizzaga that actually hits Kairi and freezes her feet to the floor. He then leaps out of his spot, with his shield still up and comes down on Kairi, doing a lot of damage.
Kairi gets back up from being knocked down and casts curaga as Trophy leaps back to the center of the room. Kairi then gets out the keychain Mando got her. She's seen Sora do this all the time so she thought it wouldn't hurt to do so herself as she switched the keychain and her keyblade chained. Gone was the bright gold, replaced with a bright silver that looked like the same material as Mando's armour. The guards around the grip were more square in shape along with the shaft while at the end was three horns of the skull that the keychain had. This keyblade was called "The way" (Shitty name? Leave a suggestion for a better one in the reviews)
"Hmm. Interesting." Trophy observed, wondering how he himself could change the keyblades form.
"Why don't I introduce you to it personally." Kairi offers.
"Another time. Now, I need to focus on eliminating you." Trophy says, starting the gates up again. This time the two sections split of from each other and move opposite ways causing Kairi to have to jump over and slide under the barriers as Trophy threw more of his lasers at her. Needless to say, it was exhausting. Finally, the barriers came down and Trophy cloned himself again, while firing more blizzaga.
Kairi figures out how to form change her keyblade, and the shaft and stock simply disappear, leaving a handle that now is emanating a black light in the form of a sword. She strikes down a Trophy ghost before dodging a blizzaga that hits another ghost.
"Friendly fire much?" Kairi asks.
"Foolish girl. They are insignificant." Trophy says before firing another blizzaga that is dodged. The other clones are defeated and Trophy's shield comes down, this time it looks as if Trophy has a killer headache, must be the side effect from using all that magic. Kairi takes this opportunity to attack using the dark-saber she still had.
Though the blade seemed to pass through Trophy when it hit him, it did still seem to hurt him. 'Guess it was a safe guard so I wouldn't kill him.' Kairi thinks, relived. Soon, the headache stopped, and Kairi was pushed back by the replenished shield.
"I may have underestimated you. A mistake that I will rectify." Trophy says as the electric gates spark back online. This time, they continue as they did the second time they were activated, the only difference being they would change directions every now and then.
During this, Trophy was still firing his laser beams at Kairi, which did as much as they did the previous times he used them. Eventually, the electric gates split off and continued from there, minus the switching directions. Kairi was forced to jump and slide under certain gates again, this time, Trophy wasn't firing anything at her though.
Guess he wised up and started to conserve his magic or something. After the gates went down, Trophy started casting thundaga which was the most difficult spell to dodge. Still, she evaded most of them, only getting hit a few times before Trophy stopped and willingly dropped his shield.
What happened next, was a big f-you to everything that had happened previously. Trophy cast curaga on himself.
"The keyblade is even more powerful than I imagined. All the damage and exhaustion, gone in an instant." He says. Trophy did not put back up his shield, rather he lunged at Kairi for a melee attack. The two traded blows with the keyblades and staff, Trophy occasionally hitting Kairi with one or the other.
Eventually, Kairi used reflect at the right time and sent Trophy flying back. Still in mid air, Kairi performed "seven wishes" again and on her last pass, snatched off the heart print glove before getting smacked back by Trophy's staff, causing her to lose her grip over it and send it flying to another part of the room. As Kairi recovers, Trophy makes a break for the glove only to hear the sound of glass shattering ahead of him.
Looking up, he saw Sora, Kingdom Key in hand, had smashed through the glass and was heading toward him. Trophy blocked the incoming attack with his staff.
"Foolish boy. Once I get that glove again, you'll be defenceless."
"Then, you won't get it." Sora simply states. Behind Sora, Trophy spots Kairi raising her keyblade above her head to destroy the glove.
"No!" Trophy cries out. However, before the keyblade can make contact with the glove, it flys away from Kairi, right into the hands of Dr. Cortex.
Cortex can only slowly laugh at the situation.
"Now, I have control of that power again." He states, summoning Kingdom Key away from Sora and to himself. "And I must say, I like the look of this keyblade more than the last one. Less... colourful."
Kairi gets ready to fight Cortex this time, despite the fact she is out of breath from fighting Trophy.
"Seems, I don't need Uka Uka to have an advantage over you." Cortex says.
"I... wouldn't be... so sure..." Kairi breathes. Looking behind Cortex, realizing he made a critical error.
