What's... What's happening to me?
Falling... falling... into darkness
(Insert 13th Struggle from Kingdom Hearts 2.5)
Blake back flipped away from the oncoming pink energy slashes heading her way. She thought she was doing well, but eventually one did come too close to her while she was using her arms and caught her by surprise, as she was knocked back and landed on her side. As she got up, she saw her opponent, Marluxia, was taking a calm stroll towards her, with his scythe laying on his shoulder
"Oh come now, I though cats were suppose to land on their feet" Marluxia mocked the faunus
Enraged by the blunt racism, Blake rushed up to the pink haired man and tried slicing him with her blade, but he seemed to evade each and every attack she threw at him. At some point, Marluxia leaped backwards to get some distance from Blake. He than started spinning his scythe with one hand, readying for a strong looking attack. He rushed at the faunus, who was able to jump above him and evade the slash of his weapon. The second Blake landed behind him, Marluxia raised his land above him. Before Blake could even react, a small pool of dark pink energy emerged right below her feet. By the time she noticed, the pool erupted and launched her high into the air. Marluxia used how open she was to charge and release 2 more pink energy slashes than hit Blake dead on. The graceful assassin than leaped up in the air higher than Blake and launched another energy slash that made Blake fall fast back onto the ground
Blake was able to get up as the organization member landed and turned her Gambol Shroud into its pistol form and shot some bullets at her opponent. Marluxia, uncaringly, blocked each of the blasts with so little enthusiasm, he hardly noticed Blake was rushing towards him as she fired. By the time he realized, Blake had gotten close enough safely to tackle him, with her pointing her elbow towards his chest as she succeeded in her attempt. As he was stunned from the sudden and sporadic choice, Blake was able to turn her weapon into its katana form and got 4 good attacks in on him. That's at least what blake thought, but he didn't seem to mind too much and simply held his scythe up with 2 hands, preparing for a vertical strike from above. Seeing this, Blake used her ribbon to wrap around a pipe from an old building and thrusted herself to safely, barely avoiding the sharp blade. Blake was able to stop her acceleration when she made it to the building and turned back to her opponent with katana in hand. However, Marluxia had just suddenly disappeared without a trace, Blake looked around, but just couldn't find him. That was until she felt a presence right behind her. Before she could turn around, Marluxia swung hard against her back, sending her flying to the other side of the street. Blake was able to recover though and made it so that her feet and hands were able to catch herself before she tumbled to hard. She did have a little bit of a problem getting up after that hit, and her hand didn't take the road burn too well, but she couldn't focus on that yet
"Good, you landed on your feet this time" Marluxia continued to mock her "What a relief, I was worried you were just a strange cat for a moment"
Before she could retaliate, another clash was brought into the middle of the space between them. Riku and Vanitas both tried finding victory over the other, as their keyblades collided and both stood their ground firmly. Blake wanted to help Riku, as they seemed equal in power enough for this masked boy to possibly win, but she knew Marluxia would likely do the same with Vanitas. So instead, she rushed and jumped over the clashing keyblades, gaining the attention of both keyblade wielders and went head first into Marluxia. The scythe wielder readied his weapon the slice the faunus in 2. He landed a clean hit, but the body disappeared in seconds, and other kneed him in the chin. She than got behind the pink haired man and shot him 3 times with Gambol Shroud in the back. Marluxia wasn't exactly pleased with the success of that attack, and continued to pursue her with an array of attacks, than Blake took elsewhere, so than Riku could continue on with his fight
Riku was relieved and impressed with how well Blake held her own. She was pretty awesome, if he had to say so. But there was no time for any of that, as Vanitas moved his attention towards his enemy first, and Riku found himself kneeling a bit, trying to stop the organization member from winning the fight
"You know" The masked boy started to talk "It's kinda funny. This time, it's this kisser using the powers of darkness"
"What does that even mean?" Riku asked, starting to loose his ground
"You'll see in time, friend"
Trying to find the room, Riku leaped out of the way and let Vanitas's keyblade simply clash with the ground. With some of his strength returned, Riku lunges at the organization member for an overhead slash. Vanitas seemed to get hit hard, but than he just disappeared into thin air
"To slow"
Suddenly, Riku felt something attack from behind, catching the keyblade master off guard. He rolled back up and saw Vanitas was right behind him with his keyblade pointed at Riku. The masked boy than rushed at Riku and their keyblades clashed again, and again, and again. Vanitas went for another attack, but Riku blocked it and was able to guild the tip of the blade away from him. Using the opportunity, he than attacked Vanitas, landing 4 good hits on the boy, before ending it off with a balloon spell that, when popped, sent Vanitas flying backwards. The masked keyblade wielder landed on his feet no problem though, and pointed his keyblade at Riku to fire off a fire ball. Riku countered the fire ball with dark fiagra, which caused a lot of dust to cover Riku's view. As the battlegrounds cleared, he saw that Vanitas wasn't in front of him. He wasn't anywhere in fact. Before Riku could do anything, he saw a tiny pool of darkness below him. Suddenly Vanitas popped out of it and used his keyblade to uppercut Riku's chin. He than used thunder magic to electrocute the air born master. Roku landed hard on his gut, but not before planting some seeker mines at Vanitas's feet. When the organization member landed on them, a big explosion occurred below his feet, surprising the masked boy.
Riku had enough time to cast a small cure spell on himself. Just in time, as an electric energy wave was heading his way. Riku blocked the attack, but wasn't able to notice Vanitas right behind him. The boy slashed the master 5 times in the back before blasting him with another firaga. Riku was heading towards a building in front of him, but he used his flow motion to catch himself, lunge up in the air and attack vanitas with a powerful shock wave. Riku cast another cure spell on himself as Vanitas started having troubles getting up from that last attack
Suddenly, he felt another presence bump into his back. Riku turned to see it was Blake he felt and vice versa. The huntress and keyblade wielder looked at the others opponent and could tell neither organization member was too fond of their opponents. Riku could also tell that Blake was having a hard time dealing with the nobody, and that this Vanitas guy wasn't exactly on another level as him or Sora
"You want to switch?" Riku offered up Blake
"Yeah, sure" Blake accepted
Marluxia interrupted their agreement by charging at the faunus, anticipating to unleash another powerful attack. But Riku got in front of Blake and blocked the graceful assassin's tip of his scythe, while Blake rushed to battle with Vanitas. Marluxia tried attacking from the left, but Riku blocked the tip again. He attacked from the right, Riku blocked once more. This time, Riku pushed the scythe wielder away, summoned dark fiagra in his hand and thrusted it dead on in Marluxia's chest, sending the man flying. Marluxia was able to stop his acceleration with ease and began to shroud himself in darkness. Suddenly his scythe started spinning on it's own and was racing towards Riku. Riku didn't have time to react and got hit by the strange attack as it passed him afterwards. With his attention now on the scythe, Riku saw it was turning back towards him. This time he was ready to block the attack, which he did quite well. The scythe turned around once more, and Riku pointed his keyblade at it
"Stop!"
Suddenly the spinning scythe was unable to move. Using the opportunity, Riku showered the weapon, and hopefully Marluxia, with all the thundagas and blizzagas he could muster. All that magic kicked up plenty of dust, which could make for a big attack if Riku wasn't ready, he learned. In deed, Marluxia did pop out of the debris, spinning his scythe and ready to attack the silver haired keyblade wielder with an overhead attack that Riku evaded. Marluxia tried spinning his blade horizontally twice, but Riku blocked the first attack and back flipped away from the next. He rushed back to the organization member as he readied for another overhead strike. Riku jumped over the scythe as it hit the ground and actually landed on the weapon for a brief moment. He jumped back up in the air and hit Marluxia 3 times, hurling him up to the sky, allowing for Riku to hit him in the back, sending him to crash into on of the destroyed buildings. After a moment, a pink slash came to Riku, indicating the organization member wasn't done yet. Riku blocked the attack and rushed towards Marluxia, and the pink haired man did the same
Blake's fight wasn't as easy for her when Riku was fighter him, or when Blake was fighting Marluxia. She tried attacking with Gambol Shroud in it's katana form, but the masked boy simply parried each of her advances. When she tried going for a stronger attack, the organization member blocked it again, only this time he riposted and tried underhand attacking the faunus, Blake only barely able to dodge the keyblade's strike. She used her ribbon to try and wrap his arm and bring him to her, in hopes she'd get some good hits in, but Vanitas was able to catch the ribbon, and instead of him coming to her, she came to him as he pulled the black ribbon. Vanitas raised his right knee and hit Blake right in her gut. He let go of the ribbon and lifted the faunus up by the throat to throw her to the other side of the road. As Blake rubbed her neck and recovered, she also turned Gambol Shroud into its pistol form and shot the masked boy 3 times in the chest. He was taken aback, but none of the shots seemed to really effect him. Instead he rushed over to Blake for another strike, but the faunus was able to roll away and sliced him in the back. But he vanished into thin air as she did. She could feel a presence behind her, probably ready to attack
"Suffer!" Vanitas shouted as he attacked from above
Blake was prepared, and instead of Vanitas hitting Blake's back, he simply hit one of her clones, alowing herself to hit the wide open boy with 5 good slashes, ending the advancement off with a kick in the stomach. Impressed but not happy about it, he jumped up in the air, but rather than attacking Blake, Vanitas dived into the ground, leaving behind a tiny pool of darkness. It started moving towards Blake, which wasn't something Blake really wanted, so she tried running. But the pool was much faster than Blake, and Vanitas popped out to uppercut his opponent again. As they were in the air, Vanitas grabbed Blake's leg and threw her onto the ground. Afterwards he sent an array of fire attacks that all seemed to hit Blake dead on. Vanitas landed and cleared the smoke with some wind magic. He saw Blake was only barely able to get up, and a strange purple energy started to vanish from the faunus. She also saw that she was right behind the crater Yang and the others went down to save Ruby. Blake had run out of aura and places to run, which meant she was done
"Time to end this" Vanitas pointed his keyblade and unleashed one last fireball that would end the Belladonna's life
Suddenly Riku appeared, however, and reflected the attack back at the masked boy. Riku than threw his keyblade with the strike raid technique, and when the blade returned to him, Riku unleashed a thunder spell onto the organization member. But they weren't done yet, as Marluxia teleported in front of Riku and tried attacking from above again. Blake saw this and wrapped her ribbon around Riku to pull him away. Riku saw that Marluxia was left open with his scythe on the ground, so he used his keyblade to fling it out of Marluxia's grip and Riku grabbed it. He rushed up to Marluxia and hit the organization member thrice, before throwing it back to its rightful owner. Marluxia crashed down right behind the recovering Vanitas. Thinking there was an opening, Riku didn't hesitate in charging up and firing 3 dark fiagras at once, all heading straight for the organization members. From Riku's perspective, Vanitas only had enough time to realize the attack was coming before contact was made
(End 13th Struggle)
The chain of attacks caused a huge explosion, larger than any other attack used in this battle. Riku and Blake both shielded their faces from the debris heading their way. In no less time than the explosion erupted, the winds died down, and Riku and Blake were able to see again. The smoke started to clear, and Riku was ready to see the damage he did.
He was surprised to see that he didn't actually land anything on them. Vanitas seemed to have used a dark shielding magic to block both him and the now standing Marluxia. Riku could tell as a clear yet red and black magic barrier was active while Vanitas held his keyblade in a guarding position. The spell collapsed as Vanitas lowered his keyblade
"Not bad. Not bad at all" The masked boy complemented Riku "You defiantly earned the right to be a master. After all, only other time I was this unwillingly winded was with another master. But it was over a toy, of all things. This was much more serious, I think"
"Yes, you are indeed strong" Marluxia walked up to Vanitas's side to join him "I can see why Lexaeus and Zexion fell to your blade. Had we fought in Castle Oblivion, you might have put up just as strong, if not stronger, of a fight as Sora"
"And hey, let's give some credit to the spec" Vanitas used his free hand to jester at Blake "She still has so much to go through if she wants to get involved with this, but she still got some lucky hits in"
"Flattery isn't going to get you out of this!" Blake retorted "We can still fight!"
"Even if you weren't lying, it wouldn't matter if you could or not" Marluxia claimed "So long as Ansem is uninterrupted, all your efforts will be for naught"
"We might be giving our all up here..." Riku stepped up further to the organization members "But that just means the others are as well. They probably saving Ruby right as we speak"
Vanitas couldn't help but laugh, unsettling Blake and annoying Riku "What? Those jokes of keyblade wielders and huntresses? If they're your best chances, than this was even easier than I thought!"
"Indeed. If that one is struggling against the likes of us..." Marluxia pointed at Blake "what makes you think that brash brawler and the Schnee will fair well against the master's own heartless?"
"Simple, Sora's also down there, and you guys are underestimating how strong they really are. They're more than worth fighting along side us, and you all should know how strong Sora is by now. If you hadn't intervened with the Mark of Masters Exam, Sora would have been named master before me. He'll stop you guys easily!"
The organization members started loosing their attention on Riku and looked up into the sky. Marluxia started to smile and despite the mask, one could probably feel a smile from Vanitas as well
"Might want to double check that claim" Vanitas pointed to the sky
Neither Riku or Blake wanted to turn around, not just because of the possibility of a surprise attack, but because of the fear that lingered with those words. But curiosity can only be held back so far, and both turned around to where the masked boy pointed. Acceding up into the sky, was a small orb of light. Both Blake and Riku could feel their hearts racing as the fear of the worst crept up on them
"What is that?!" Blake demanded an answer from on of the organization members
"That, little kitten, is a heart" Vanitas answered "I'm sure you can guess who's it is"
"RUBY!" Riku reached out to the orb
"No!" The realization hit Blake like a truck
Both and Riku fruitlessly tried reaching out, in desperate hopes the heart would gravitate towards them. But soon a dark substance enveloped the orb, and soon it disappeared as soon as it showed up. Blake couldn't believe it. If that really was really a hear, it couldn't be the heart of her friend and leader. It had to be from a white fang member that got under Ansem's skin, or maybe even Torchwick or his little assistant. It couldn't belong to Ruby. It was impossible!
"It seems like we didn't underestimate those pitiful huntresses and keyblade wielders" Marluxia spoke up "Rather you overestimated them"
The pink haired man opened up another on of the portals used by the organization, and both members dismissed their weapons, as there was no need to fight any longer
"Either way, Xigbar had better be on the nose. Otherwise we'll have sacrificed this portion for nothing"
Marluxia calmly walked into the portal, and Vanitas was about to join him. But first, he turned back to the couple in shock, specifically the keyblade master
"By the way, Riku" He gained the growing angry face of the silver haired boy "Tell Sora that I'll be looking to a few rematches. He'll understands when you tell him, alright?"
Unable to control his anger, Riku fired off a gigantic dark fiagra spell, easily the biggest he'd ever created
"That's what I thought"
The portal closed around Vanitas and another explosion was created, this one Riku didn't even bother acknowledging. He could feel his fists clenching with rage. After everything Sora and the others had gone through, and right after Riku and Ruby had buried their hatchet, now they take her heart away. Why? What purpose would they have to doing this to one of his new friends?!
"Riku"
Riku looked back up to Blake and his anger started to calm down at least a little, but he didn't feel any better. Frankly, seeing Blake on the verge of breaking into tears actually made it worse in a way
"Is Ruby really..." The faunus couldn't even finish her question before the tears started falling down
In his head, Riku continued to try and come up with more possibilities. The more and more he thought, though, the more he came to the conclusion that there was only one way to truly find out what happened
"We have to go down there"
Riku didn't even bother pulling Blake with him as he rushed and jumped down the hole in the ground. Blake whipped away some of her tears and joined him, hoping the worst hadn't just happened
Pyrrha found herself treading a strange barren land. She had no idea how she got here, or even where this place was. It was just where she happened to be. She took in her surroundings with caution. There were cliffs taller than anything she had seen in her life that blocked the sun, which were aided by the dark clouds across the sky. There were odd marks and formations everywhere across the land, but the strangest thing was how the ground was littered with, from what she could tell, keyblades. Those odd weapons all of Team SKRL wielded? There were hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of them piercing the ground, each and every one of them having a unique design. There was some kind of battle here, Pyrrha could tell, one of gigantic proportions. Why only keyblades, though, was beyond what she knew. As she continued walking, the dust started picking up from all directions. Pyrrha had to cover her face from any dust or keyblades that weren't stuck on the ground. Eventually, the dust did subside, and the land before changed somewhat
The sky had cleared to show off a still lifeless brown color, cliffs had suddenly disappeared, and the keyblades had all forged a path that led into a crossroad. In the middle of this crossroad, there was a suit of armor, kneeling down with both hands on its own keyblade seemingly stuck on the ground, with 2 other keyblades right next to them. The armor seemed to belong to a man, looking it it's bulk and size, that looked like it was made out of gold and copper, or at least material that matched the color of it. It sported a cape with a dark blue inside and matching gold outside, and the keyblade it was clinging onto also had the same coloring as the owner. Pyrrha walked over to the suit and examined it. There was an odd feeling in the air, coming from this armor. As Pyrrha reached out to touch it with her right hand, the hand seemed to glow with a strange orange aura. Pyrrha pulled it back and recognized the energy from when she and Jaune visited Coco. What was it, though? And why show up now?
"Xe..."
Pyrrha heard a metallic sound, or a voice, she wasn't sure which, from somewhere. She looked all around her, but there was nobody around. Nothing except her and the armor in front of her
Unless... of course... there was someone in the armor?
"Xe...ha...nort"
Pyrrha head it again. The armor was indeed speaking, despite how hollow it seemed on the outside. It didn't speak in words, bur more seemed to express sound with metal and its hollow interior. It wasn't a natural language for Pyrrha, yet she seemed to understand what it was saying. She could also feel more of that strange feeling in the air, that seemed to gravitate towards the armor. All as if it was alive, despite the emptiness of it
"Xeha...nort" It repeated again "Xehanort" again, with each repeating of the word making it sound even angrier
It also started to sound a little familiar to Pyrrha. Its voice and sounds didn't change, yet... she got the same feeling from that voice that kept popping in her head. The same voice who also seemed to curse the name of Xehanort
(Insert Keyblade Graveyard Horizon from Kingdom Hearts 2.5)
The suit of armor started to stand up, slowly rising up, allowing Pyrrha to take in the figure's size. Just by standing above Pyrrha, she could feel how strong this man... armor... whatever, was. It reached for the handle of its blade and placed his keyblade over his shoulder, creating an even stronger image for Pyrrha. Both Pyrrha and the armor heard metal footsteps coming towards them. The warrior turned his head to his right, and Pyrrha followed his direction. Another suit of armor started walking towards them, but this one seemed more female, had more grays blues and purples to its more platinum looking material and cape, was shorter, and felt like there was a person in there. The first armor turned his head to the left, as did Pyrrha. Another suit of armor was walking from the other direction. This one seemed more male, like the former, but looked smaller, seemed to be made more out of silver with some old yellows with another matching cape, and also felt more alive than the first suit. Both of them seemed to be marching towards the keyblades in front of Pyrrha, so she backed away to make room. When made it, they both grabbed a keyblade that matched their armor like the first suit did. The trio of keyblade wielders just simply looked at Pyrrha for a while. To say the tension was high would be an understatement. While each of them seemed calm, confident and powerful, Pyrrha wasn't feeling all that invincible anymore. Even with her semblance, they could all probable best her easily. Yet, they didn't seem hostile, just intimidating. Pyrrha wanted to know who these warriors were
But when she saw they were all looking above her, she didn't. They seemed to be looking at something, or someone, behind her. Pyrrha turned to see what it exactly was. Out of a subsiding whirl of dust, there seemed to be an elderly man walking towards them. The bald man had skin the same color as the wasteland they all stood on, with a small grey beard and golden eyes that saw through Pyrrha. His white shirt and black coat bounced freely as he moved, and his white gloved hands held each other behind his hunched back. Behind the man, another warrior showed up. This one was wearing a dark helmet with a red and black skin tight suit. The duo stopped at their point of the crossroads, and stared at the trio behind Pyrrha with a sinister grin from the old man. Pyrrha could tell a battle was about to commence between these warriors. She had no idea if she needed to get out of the way or join the fight
The invincible girl would have no time to decide, as the elder one created a ball of darkness out of his bare hand. The clouds above them all seemed to magnetize towards the attack. The old man held the energy way above him and let the attack loose in the clouds. They all parted ways was a giant blue heart shaped moon filled the night sky. It was one of the oddest, yet, strangely, most intimidating things Pyrrha had seen. An earthquake suddenly occurred and more cliffs started to bring the old man, his ally, and the 3 suits of armor behind Pyrrha high above the sky. Before Pyrrha could watch anything happen, the heart shaped moon blasted all of its energy down on the girl in the pony tail. Pyrrha could only protect her face from the harsh winds as they pushed her backwards. Amongst the sounds of wind and ruble, Pyrrha could also hear a variety of voices ringing and shouting in her ears. It took a minute, but she could start to hear what some of the voices were saying
"It may hurt so bad you'll feel like you're about to loose yourself"
"What is the point of betting on something when you already know the outcome?"
"I'm a bad guy, so you have to go through me!"
"To find is to lose and to lose is to find"
"All I'm telling you, traitor, is that your time is up!"
"When that time comes, we can truly, finally exist"
"The Keyblade War will begin!"
"This heart belongs again to darkness"
"Fill me with the power of darkness!"
"Hearts shall never again have power over us"
"You lost the moment you dived this far in"
"And it is your darkness that shall be the arc that sustains me!"
Finally, Pyrrha's legs gave in, and the wind pushed her back, as her vision was met with blinding light
(End Keyblade Graveyard Horizon)
Pyrrha shot out of her sleep in a cold sweat. She heavily breathed thanks to the jolt of energy she received from shock and fear. That dream felt so real, like she was in the action, with those people right in front of her. It was the most real dream she ever had. But she just kept telling herself that it was just that, a dream. Her breathing seemed to calm down as she kept telling herself that. She looked over the room to see everything seemed the same. Nora seemed to have wrestled with and disregarded the blankets and sheets, Ren was peaceful with a smile across his face, Jaune was continuing to snore sound asleep, and Pyrrha was back with her hair down and her blank white pajama shirt and purple night leggings has no visible scars or anything like that. The familiarity helped calm her down quite a bit. But something still felt off about that dream. She had so many questions. Who were those people? why did they all have keyblades? What was that moon? So many questions that she wanted an answer to, but wouldn't receive
Don't you worry about the dark
I will light up the night with the love in my heart
Pyrrha thoughts were broken when she herd a song play. She looked back at Jaune's bed to see his alarm was going off
I will burn like the sun I will keep you safe and warm
Her partner and leader was starting to rustle around and was starting to wake up, obviously not in the best mood from it
Like the smell of a rose on a summer's day
I will be there to take all your fears away
He rolled around, grabbed his scroll and examined it for a little bit
With a touch of my hand I will turn your life to-
Jaune quickly turned the alarm off, and stretched in his bed with a loud yawn. After a quick eye rubbing, he saw that Pyrrha was also awake
"Oh, hey Pyrrha. Morning" Jaune greeted his teammate, still only barely awake
"Hello, Jaune" Pyrrha greeted him back "Did you sleep well?"
"Great, actually. I feel ready to take on the day! You?"
"I slept fine" Pyrrha sheepishly answered
Reluctantly, Jaune got out of bed and walked over to the door
"I'm going to go take a shower. See you at breakfast" And like that, he opened and closed the door before Pyrrha could say the same
For a moment, Pyrrha though about telling her teammates about that strange dream. But the more she thought about it, the more she decided not to. They had a big day with their first mission today, so infecting their minds to find the true meaning of it would likely distract them all. Besides, it was only a dream, so it wouldn't really impact her too much, right?...
Right?
Author's notes: Oh ho ho, how wrong you are Pyrrha. If only she knew she was in a kingdom hearts crossover fanfiction
Anyways, Merry early Christmas, my fellow Rwby and Kingdom Hearts fans. Now I do want to try and get another chapter out by Christmas day, but with how late it is, how inconsistant my updates are and the fact that the next chapter is going to try and get all the train stuff pre WBY fights making it a super long chapter among a sea of chapters that just keep getting longer, it's not 100% gurante i get it done in time, so if i don't just consider this my chrismas gift. Besides if the Nostalgia Critic can get his heartfelt Chrismas review out a week earlier than usual (extra heartfelt this year, might I add?) than i don't see why i can't do the same
Anyways, I've learned that I both love and hate writing fight scenes. On the one hand, it's cool to have fan favorites clash heads with each other and it's fun to incorperate fanservice with my own imagination, but at the same time they can turn out to be super long and often turn out to eat up a lot of time. Like the Pyrrha stuff took a day or 2 to get done, but Riku and Blake fighting 2 fan favorite villains? Around a week or so. And I have more than 5 fight scenes left in this part of the story, so you can tell i'll have a lot on my plate. Well hopefully I can try and keep my goal of getting at least to the final battle before KH3 OFFICIALLY releases. Anyways, yeah there were some fun moments to write in the fight, particularly with Vanitas and how he knows so much that Riku doesn't. It's fun to write that sorta-foreshadowing, to say the least. Though not as much fun as Pyrrha's sorta-foreshadowing. I have a lot planned with that girl and her team that i'm excited to show off. By the way, I dare you all to name all the voices that popped into Pyrrha's head
Also, that last kh3 trailer? DAMN! If you guys haven't seen that trailer, go watch it, because there be some spoilers we're gonna talk about
Well I for one am getting more excited to visit the Frozen world more and more we see it. It just looks so good! It, as well as Tangled, look incredibly faithful to their original movies, which is not something the KH series has not always been known for the best. You know, after Young kinda disappeared with the Toy Story stuff, I thought he would be relegated the the side lines, despite his crucial role in DDD. But thankfully, it looks like there's more screen time for everyone! I mean, even Luxord's getting some love when he seals Mickey into the shadow realm. Also Buzz is freaking dead, and if you look closely you can see Ventus chained up with Sora, so Ventus confirmed for light side. Speaking of sides, there's a moment in the trailer where Lea is having a keyblade pointed to him by a new member, asking who they are... Yeah it's like 90-95% Xion. I'm still holding out for Roxas, I mean he had the kingdom key and only started dual wielding around his fight with Riku, but... please let them all live in the end. Just give us the some ice cream trio eating ice cream again, I beg of you! Especially after that Thanos Snap brought to you by Galeem featuring the Gods of Light and Darkness where everyone dies! Speaking of which, I swear if Kairi is gone for good and Sokai never becomes canon, we all riot at square! I mean, i know the said the ending would be hard to acept, but I'm gonna say that's because a fan favorite dies. I'm ok with it being Lea. I'm ok with it being Terra. I'm even ok with it being Riku. But if it turns out to be everyone, on top of my ice cream child being evil, I'll go crazy and depressed as hell. Gotta say, also, new world looks absolutely beautiful. Nomura has said that this new world, "Scala ad Caelum" was his favorite world in the entire franchise yet, and you can clearly see why. It's so big with such a calm feeling, despite the sacrifice others likely took to get there. Overall, I just can't wait for this game, and please Nomura, let us save Aqua. And Roxas. And Xion. And Kairi. And Lea. And Donald. And Mickey. And Goofy. And Riku. And Ventus. And Terra. And maybe Isa. And Namine, for all we know she is also a Xehanort. Just let my precious family be safe in the end. Also Xehanort still doesn't sound right, I'm sorry. Also ALSO i know musicals didn't work in kh2 but... can we please hear "let it go" and "I see the lights" in the game? Just have them play as cutscenes and it will work! We seem to be 85% faithful to the original movies, can't we just push 5% more? Also also ALSO, if anyone's curious (which you probably aren't) here's how I feel the Kh3 worlds will act comparing their stories to the original movies
Tangled, Frozen and the Pirates worlds: Super faithful, possibly to the point you feel like you're watching the movie
Hercules and Monsters Inc: Kinda faithful, but in the same way KH1 worlds are faithful; there will be plenty of liberties taken
Toy Story and Big Hero 6: Totally unique stories that are based upon events after the original films
Sorry, I know I'm dragging this thing out but I just can't wait and I pray i don't spot any leaks pre launch. Anyways, reviews!
myfunvideos: ok than, someone clearly likes watching characters suffer. Also, the keyblade Ansem used wasn't the actual keyblade of darkness, but it's very similar looking. I just based the desine off the original as it fit him very well
khfan: i've said it before and I'll say it again, there are no plans to turn ruby into a nort! I don't plan on turning Xion into a nort. I don't have plans to turn her heartless into a nort. Yes, that person in the new trailer is most likely her, even though, as I've said multiple times that it doesn't make sense that she is, but that was never going to be a part of my story. And I was writing this story LONG before we got all this new KH3 stuff, so i think i get fan fiction rights to have that be. More than likely, it'll be someone else from rwby to take her spot (look out shop keeper, the nort is coming for you next!) Maybe she'll be a nort in the official game, but not in this story
