For Day 23 of the Kingdom Hearts 3 Countdown Challenge - Heroes.
Vanitas took a moment to glance at the chaos around him.
What a bunch of idiots. This was all pointless. They were all doomed to fail.
And yet… they didn't stop fighting. Even though Xehanort was gonna win either way, they kept resisting him. When Sora stumbled, Donald and Goofy rushed to his side and helped him get back up again. When a Nobody lunged at Axel, Kairi struck it away with her Keyblade. He returned the favor by taking out a bunch of Unversed jumping her with a burst of flame. And when Riku was about to be overpowered by a swarm of Heartless, Mickey rushed to his aid. Together, they held the darkness back a little longer.
He had to admit… even though they were losers…
They weren't alone. Vanitas was surrounded by Unversed, and Xehanort's other puppets were fighting all around him, but he still felt alone.
Xehanort didn't have any friends, just pawns. And Vanitas didn't want to be a pawn anymore.
Guess that meant he was about to become a hero.
So today's piece was a little shorter than usual, but I have been intrigued by Vanitas's theme coming at the end of the Heroes medley for the Kingdom Hearts World Tour for a long time now and decided to go somewhere with it.
Hope you enjoyed!
