Chapter 39: Noel's Heart
Noel, Grace, Paula, Jeff, Poo, and Siegfried enter the castle and are now in a hallway and so the group go through the hallway and reach the end of the hallway and find a door and so Noel opens the door and it leads the group to a foyer that has a two sets of stairs, a fountain that's pouring purple water, pillars that have spikes on them, a chandelier with black candles that are lit with purple flames, and evil looking statues of demons and the group look around the foyer for any Black Xetis and Heartless that might appear.
"Be on guard. They're close. My sword can sense it." Siegfried said.
"I can feel them coming too." Paula said.
"I'm sure we'll be ready for them." Noel said.
"Then let's not waste time." Siegfried said as he makes his way out of the foyer.
"Ness, wherever you are, I'll find you!" Paula said as she makes her way out of the foyer.
"Paula, wait!" Jeff said as he and Poo follow Paula.
"W-Wait for us..." Noel said as she and Grace try to follow the four but then an orb is fired at the two making them back off.
"How the hell did you get into the castle? Ya shoulda quit when you had the chance." A voice said and it's Tora and Rajin is at his side.
"No...I'm not going to quit so easily." Noel said.
"What? You sad, stupid girl. You realize the darkness will destroy you." Tora said.
"Wrong. My body might be destroyed by the darkness, but it won't destroy my heart. It stays with my friends. You can't destroy it." Noel said.
"Oh, really? That's a load of bull! You're all alone. All you have is your pet. Your friends are gone! You've lost your Keyblade. It's over. Just quit and get lost before you get yourself killed." Tora said.
"It doesn't matter if I don't have the Keyblade anymore. I'm also not alone. My friends are with me, even after what Odium just did to them." Noel said taking out the stick. "I'll fight my way to save my brother, no matter what..." Noel said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"Okay. Fine. If that's how you want it...Rajin, don't bother playin' nice. Make sure her playtime is her last!" Tora ordered and Rajin nods and transforms itself into the same three-headed and three-tailed giant tiger just like back at the Digital World. "This is your last warning, girl. Get the hell out before Rajin makes you into his dinner!" Tora said.
"I'm not scared...I'm not scared...I can do this...!" Noel said getting ready to fight.
Giant Rajin's three heads fire giant orbs at Noel and Grace who dodge out of the way and Noel casts Thunder on all three of the heads while Grace uses Tackle at one of the heads but Giant Rajin slashes at them with his claws and then shoots more giant orbs but Grace tail whips at Giant Rajin's middle head but Giant Rajin stomps at Grace and creates a shock wave but Noel attacks at Giant Rajin's head with her stick and does little damage but then casts Earth and strikes but Giant Rajin delivers his three-tailed whip at Noel who casts Aero for protection and then casts Blizzard but Giant Rajin pounces at the two and then attacks with his claws but the two avoid the attacks and Noel attacks with her stick again and then casts Fire while Grace uses Growl but Giant Rajin delivers a bite at the two with his giant fangs but Grace uses Bite back at Giant Rajin but Giant Rajin fires more giant orbs at the two but they dodge and Noel casts Thunder at all the three heads but Giant Rajin stands on his hind legs and then slams his front paws on the ground and unleashes shock waves but they dodge the shock waves and Grace tail whips at one of Giant Rajin's heads while Noel casts Earth but Giant Rajin pounces at the two and unleashes more shock waves but Grace uses Tackle while Noel attacks at one of the heads with her stick and does little damage and then casts Blizzard making Giant Rajin roar in pain and delivers his three-tailed whip at Noel.
Noel dodges the three-tailed whip and casts Thunder at the three heads but Giant Rajin fires giant orbs at the two but Grace uses Tackle to strike at one of the heads but Giant Rajin delivers a huge roar and then unleashes what look like energy beams from his mouth and into the ground causing energy pillars to be created under Noel and Grace who dodge the energy pillars but Giant Rajin shoots its energy orbs at the two but Noel casts Aero on herself and on Grace for protection and then casts Gravity but Giant Rajin stomps his paws on the ground and creates more shock waves but Grace tail whips at one of Giant Rajin's heads but Giant Rajin bites at Grace with his giant fangs but Noel strikes at Giant Rajin's head with her stick and then casts Fire to strike but Giant Rajin pounces at Noel and attacks with his claws but Noel dodges out of the way and Grace uses Growl but Giant Rajin spews more energy beams on the ground and unleashes more energy pillar under Noel and Grace who dodge the energy pillars and Grace tail whips at Giant Rajin's heads but Giant Rajin three-tailed whips at the two but Noel keeps attacking with her stick and then casts Fire at one of the heads but Giant Rajin shoots more energy orbs at Noel who dodges out of the way and then casts Earth while Grace uses Tackle to strike at one of the heads.
Giant Rajin bites at both Noel and Grace with his giant fangs but Noel blocks the biting with her stick and delivers a wide whack with it but Giant Rajin pounces at Noel and attacks with his claws but Grace uses Growl but Giant Rajin stomps at Grace with his paws and creates shock waves but Noel casts Blizzard and then casts Gravity but Giant Rajin delivers his three-tailed whip but Noel whacks at Giant Rajin's heads with her stick while Grace tail whips at Giant Rajin but Giant Rajin unleashes giant energy orbs around him and then throws them at Noel and Grace who dodge the moving energy orbs and Noel casts Earth to strike at Giant Rajin's heads but Giant Rajin spews energy beams on the ground and creates energy pillars under the two but Noel dodges and casts Thunder while Grace tail whips but Giant Rajin fires energy orbs but Noel strikes at the heads with her stick and then casts Fire but Giant Rajin pounces at the two and attacks with his claws and then delivers his three-tailed whip but Noel keeps striking with her stick but Giant Rajin tries to bite at Noel with his giant fangs but Grace uses Bite to strike back but Giant Rajin unleashes more energy orbs around him and throws them at Noel and Grace but Noel casts Aero to protect herself and Grace and then strikes at one of Giant Rajin's heads with her stick while Grace uses Tackle but Giant Rajin pounces at Noel and Grace twice and unleashes shock waves as he lands on the ground and then attacks with his claws and fires more energy orbs but Noel strikes with her stick and then casts Thunder while Grace tail whips but Giant Rajin bites with his fangs but Grace uses Bite while Noel casts Blizzard and they finish off Giant Rajin who stumbles and falls to the ground and returns to his normal cub form.
"Rajin! No!" Tora cried as he carries his defeated tiger. "You're gonna pay for that! How'd you even defeat him?! You don't have the Keyblade anymore!" Tora said.
"Like I said, it doesn't matter if I don't have the Keyblade anymore. I didn't need it for that fight. I had a better weapon...my heart." Noel said.
"What?!" Tora asked.
"Ha! Don't make me laugh!" A voice scoffed and it's Odium. "You oughta be a comedian, baby! What the hell good does that weak little crap do for you?!" Odium asked.
"It's true...my heart is in fact weak, but it's not alone, as I have also said." Noel said.
"That's a load! How is your heart not alone?" Tora asked.
"That's simple. My heart has grown with each new experience. It's also found a home with all the friends I've made throughout my adventure. If it wasn't for my friends, I would not have came this far. So, now, I'm doing anything to help my friends for making my heart strong." Noel answered.
"So that's why..." Tora said.
"What? Your friends?! Ha! What crap! This is why you're so WEAK! You're always about your friends!" Odium said.
"At least I have some! I have become a part of their hearts just they have become a part of mine." Noel said as she thinks about everyone she has met during her adventure such as Ry, Tsubaki, May, Noah, Glorfindel, Elrond, the Digidestined and their Digimon, Crash, Aku-Aku, Lucas and his friends, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Shulk, Link, Zelda, Pit, Palutena, Rue, even Mint, Ty, the Teen Titans, and even the group.
"Is this really possible...?" Tora asked to himself.
"What nonsense. Your friends do not help you. They are not with you. You are alone." A voice said and it's Millia.
"Even if they're not with me, if I think of them now and then and if they don't forget me, then I know our hearts will be one." Noel said.
"You really think you can take us on by thinking about your friends?! That's freakin' RICH!" Odium scoffed.
"Friends or no friends, you still have no weapon. You will lose your life." Millia said.
"I don't need a weapon. I know for a fact that my friends are my power and I'm theirs." Noel said as she prepares to fight.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! You still wanna fight?! This'll be fun to torment you AGAIN!" Odium said.
"Do your worst..." Noel said.
"If ya say so!" Odium unleashes a shadow shot at Noel who braces herself.
"Look out!" A voice yelled and something blocks the shadow shot and takes it and it's Tora who covers Noel and is severely injured by the shadow shot.
"T-Tora...? Why did you protect me...?" Noel asked.
"Because what you just said about your friends being your power and giving you and your heart strength actually touched me... It even reminded me of myself..." Tora answered.
"Yourself...?" Noel asked.
"Before I started serving the Fearmongers and Rixla, I had my own friends that I cared about. I even had a family. I lived in a world where my people lived in peace, but my family was suffering by a sickness and my friends and I needed to find a cure. It was difficult and even impossible. I wasn't giving up, though. One day, an invasion happened in my world. Black Xetis and Heartless appeared and started attacking and killing my friends and even my family. I was too weak and helpless to do anything. My world was almost destroyed, but then Rixla and Nightmare found me and took me to this world and Tora and I became their most twisted experiments. They even promised that if I served them, they would bring my family and my friends back to life." Tora explained.
"I-I'm...sorry...I didn't realize..." Noel said.
"No. You made me open my eyes when I was so blind by the darkness." Tora said.
"Tora...you look pathetic. You really wish to take your own life by saving this girl?" Millia asked.
"Shut up! She had great friends and had the potential to be a great Keyblade wielder and you took that away from her!" Tora yelled.
"If this is how you feel, then I'll just have to take both your lives!" Odium said as he throws another shadow shot at both Noel and Tora.
"Noel, hold tight!" Tora said as he protects Noel as the shadow shot comes at the two.
The shadow shot comes at the two but then something hits the shadow shot and deflects it causing the shadow shot to hit the ceiling.
"No way in HELL you're hurtin' Noel, ya stinkin' BASTARD!" A voice yelled and Noel sees someone in front of her and it's Ken with his guitar in his hand.
"What the hell?! I KILLED you!" Odium yelled.
"That's what you think! Here's a lesson for ya; NEVER throw me down the water unless you make sure I STAY down there!" Ken said.
"You're alive...? But how?" Noel asked.
"Heh. I'm too awesome to die, Noel. The stupid bastard couldn't kill me if he tried." Ken answered.
"You're not awesome, you know." A voice said and Noel sees Banjo and Kazooie arriving at the foyer.
"Banjo! Kazooie!" Noel said.
"Hiya, Noel. I'm glad you're still okay." Banjo said.
"What happened? I thought you fell." Noel said.
"We did, but that idiot forgot I'm a bird and I can fly my way out with Banjo." Kazooie said.
"That's BULL!" Odium shouted as he attacks with a shadow fist.
Just then a shuriken flies right at Odium making him stumble back.
"Don't you dare. That will be your last mistake." A voice said and Noel sees Espio and Knuckles arriving at the foyer.
"Espio...Knuckles..." Noel said.
"Hey, Noel. Ya really though we were done for?" Knuckles asked.
"Mister Espio! Mister Knuckles!" A voice called and Cream arrives at the foyer with Cheese with her.
"Cream..." Noel said.
"I'm so happy you're safe, Miss Noel." Cream said.
"Enough of this crap! I beat you and I'll do it again!" Odium yelled as he strikes but then an electric shot comes at Odium making him move.
"Your cockiness will be your downfall, brat!" A voice said and it's Carmelita who arrives at the foyer.
"Carmelita..." Noel said.
"What the hell's goin' on?! Why're you still alive?!" Odium demanded.
"I escaped from that cut tree you sent me there." Espio answered.
"You should know already I can get myself outta the ground and Cream and Cheese were hurt, but they weren't dead!" Knuckles said.
"I also escaped from the underground you sent me from that hole you created." Carmlieta said.
"Bull, bull, BULL!" Odium shouted.
"No it's not!" A voice said and it's Alibaba who arrives at the foyer with Morgiana.
"Alibaba...Morgiana..." Noel said.
"You couldn't kill us if you tried, freak!" Alibaba yelled.
"The rocks that buried us could not have killed us." Morgiana said.
"Dammit! I've had enough! You need to die NOW!" Odium shouted as he unleashes a black lightning bolt.
"Think again!" A voice yelled as someone appears and redirects the lightning bolt and strikes right back at Odium who dodges and it's Zuko.
"What?! You're alive too?!" Odium demanded.
"Did you really think your dark fire could hurt me? You've forgotten that I'm a Firebender!" Zuko said.
"ARRRRGH!" Odium screams in rage as he attacks but then ice comes and freezes his tracks.
"Don't even think about it!" A voice said and it's Katara who enters the foyer with Aang.
"We won't let you cause anymore hurt!" Aang said.
"Aang...Katara...Zuko..." Noel said.
"Noel. Are you hurt?" Zuko asked.
"A little, but I'll be fine. Tora needs help though." Noel said.
"The hell is he doin'?" Ken asked.
"Long story..." Noel said.
"Well, okay. As long as you're okay." Katara said.
"Looks like we're all back together again." Banjo said.
"Eevee!" Grace cheered.
"Thank you all for coming..." Noel said.
"Ridiculous. You could not have survived Odium's dark attacks. You all should have been dead." Millia said.
"Really? Let me tell you something! That shadow hand that sent me to the ground was nothing. I managed o get out from underground." Katara said.
"Your lightning attack might have hurt me and nearly killed me, but I survived that attack and got out of the water and Katara healed me." Aang said.
"This is...just BULL! This can't happen! I'll make you wish you were all DEAD!" Odium said.
"Go ahead, Odium. You can attack us all you want, but we will always strike back." Noel said taking out her stick.
"Okay, Crybaby! Ya want another beating?! I'll give you one! This time, I'll KILL you and your friends!" Odium yelled.
"Stop, Odium. I shall handle her." Millia said.
"What?! Why?!" Odium demanded.
"I wish to test her 'skill' without her Keyblade. She must no longer live and attempt to hinder our near completed progress." Millia said as she takes out her red sword and red shield with the orange phoenix wing.
"You...you were responsible for destroying my home world...you were the one who nearly killed Ruby...and you took Luke away from me! I won't forgive you for what you've done!" Noel said.
"Forgiveness is a sin. Your existence is a sin. You and your friends must perish now." Millia said.
"That will not happen." Noel said.
"Yeah! Ya wanna mess with Noel?! You're dealin' with us!" Ken said.
"Kazooie, let's help Noel." Banjo said.
"Yeah. I'll peck this girl's head all day." Kazooie said.
"Eevee!" Grace said preparing to fight.
"Evil must perish! You will know my ninja power!" Espio said.
"Cheese, let's be careful." Cream said.
"Chao chao." Cheese said.
"I'm gonna bash you up until you cry!" Knuckles said.
"Let me show you how justice serves!" Carmelita said.
"I will fight for my friends!" Alibaba said.
"You cannot defeat us." Morgiana said.
"This will be on your head." Aang said.
"I'm not holding back on a sad and evil person like you!" Katara said.
"This ends now!" Zuko said.
"Fools. Prepare to suffer justices wrath!" Millia said as she attacks the group.
Millia horizontal slashes at the group with her sword and then delivers a vertical slash with her sword but Noel counters with her stick and attacks Millia with it and then casts Earth while Grace uses Tackle but Millia blocks the attacks with her shield and then delivers a diagonal slash with her sword at the group but Ken bashes at Millia with his guitar and then unleashes magic music waves while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck at Millia but Millia backs flips away from the group and then charges with her shield and strikes at the group but Carmelita delivers a spin kick but Millia double vertical slashes with her sword and then delivers a spin kick but Espio delivers multi ninja kicks and then slashes with his shuriken and then delivers a somersault kick while Knuckles double punches and then uses Uppercut but Millia delivers a spin slash with her sword and then delivers a flip slash but Cream uses Aero to protect everyone and then unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes but Millia jumps into the air and then delivers a dive stab with her sword at the group who dodge but Millia delivers one swing with her sword and then dash slashes with it but Alibaba counters with his knife and slashes at Millia with the knife while Morgiana delivers a strong spin kick but Millia blocks with her shield again and then throws her shield around the foyer but Aang uses his Airbending to create a whirlwind on the shield and tosses it back at Millia while Katara water whips at Millia while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but Millia lights her sword with dark fire energy and unleashes it at the group.
The group avoid the dark fire energy but Millia dash slashes with her sword and then delivers a diagonal slash with her sword but Alibaba uses Amon's fire to strike at Millia while Espio throws four shurikens at Millia but Millia charges at the group with her shield and then delivers an upper slash with her sword at the group but Aang unleashes rocks and throws them at Millia while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs at Millia but Millia backs off and then throws her shield again at the group and then unleashes dark fire energy but Carmelita shoots four electric shots from her shock pistol while Knuckles uses Drill Punch but Millia delivers a flip slash and then delivers a dive stab with her sword but Morgiana delivers a leap kick and then delivers a stomp kick while Katara throws ice daggers but Millia triple slashes with her sword and then delivers a spin slash but Grace uses Growl while Cream sends Cheese to attack but Millia delivers a bash with her shield and then delivers a shield swipe and then unleashes a wide slash with her sword but Zuko counters with his broadswords and slashes with them and then delivers a flame kick while Ken shoots magic music notes and then casts Thunder but Millia unleashes another dark fire energy and then delivers a double diagonal slash with her sword and then delivers an aerial diagonal slash with her sword but Noel attacks Millia with her stick and does little damage but Millia triple slashes at Noel with her sword but Noel casts Fire at Millia and then casts Thunder.
Millia retaliates by charging her shield at the group and then strikes at the group with her shield and delivers a shield uppercut and delivers an aerial spin slash with her sword but Ken throws magic music bombs and sends Millia down to the ground but Millia delivers a roundhouse kick at Ken and then delivers a vertical slash but Grace tail whips at Millia while Carmelita pistol whips at Millia but Millia throws her shield around the foyer at the group and then delivers a spin slash with her sword but Aang unleashes whirlwinds at Millia while Banjo has Kazooie charge at Millia but Millia delivers a triple upper slash with her sword and then delivers a wide horizontal slash with her sword but Alibaba roundhouse slashes with his knife while Knuckles triple punches at Millia and then delivers a headbutt but Millia back flips away and then jumps into the air again and then delivers another dive stab but Morgiana delivers strong punches and then delivers a flip kick while Espio uses Leaf Swirl but Millia unleashes more dark fire energy and then charges at the group with her shield but Katara throws water discs while Cream and Cheese spin together and strike but Millia delivers a downward slash and then delivers an aerial spin slash with her sword but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire at Millia but Millia dash slashes with her sword and then triple horizontal slashes with her sword but Noel casts Thunder and strikes with her stick but Millia bashes at Noel with her shield and then tries to stab at Noel but Noel dodges the stab and then triple strikes with her stick and then casts Blizzard at Millia.
"Enough of your insolence. You must face judgement." Millia said as she charges with her sword to deliver a stab at Noel.
Before Millia's sword could touch Noel something gets in the way of the sword's stab and it's Tora who took the sword stab in his chest and now his body is bleeding aand blood is dripping from his mouth.
"T-Tora..." Noel said.
"Why the hell did ya come to get in the way?!" Ken demanded.
"You should be thankful I tried to save Noel before she almost killed... My body had to react...somehow just like before Odium tried to kill her before you came to her side again..." Tora said.
"Mister Tora..." Cream stops talking.
"Noel...I'm...sorry...for everything...you're actually a very lucky kid..." Tora said.
"Tora. You sad fool. You have risked your life, not once, but twice to save this girl after you have failed. This is a fitting death for failures to Rixla. Now you shall face your punishment." Millia said as she unleashes dark fire energy on her sword and it begins engulfing Tora.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tora screams in agony as he's being consumed by the dark fire energy.
As the dark fire energy dissipates Tora is now gone with only ashes remaining of where he was.
"Tora..." Noel said and Rajin runs to the ashes and begins to growl sadly at Tora's demise.
"Wow...after all the crap he's been givin' us, he actually sacrificed himself to help us..." Ken said.
"Now I feel really bad for him." Aang said.
"Awwwww, boo-hoo! You're sad because that weak little crap is dead?! Don't make me laugh!" Odium said.
"How dare you scoff at Tora's death! You have no capacity for empathy!" Noel yelled.
"Duh! I have no remorse for ANYTHING! I don't have to feel what happens!" Odium said.
"That should prove you don't even deserve the Keyblade!" Noel yelled.
"I deserve it much more than you, Crybaby! You're weak, no matter what you do! Why don't ya try to prove me wrong?" Odium said.
"Gladly." Noel said.
"Okay. Follow me." Odium said as he goes to the upper part of the foyer.
"C'mon. Let's go after him." Knuckles said.
"Sorry, guys, but I'll deal with him on my own." Noel said.
"What?! Have you forgotten what happened the last time you fought him by yourself?" Ken asked.
"Don't worry. I know what to do. I'll prove to him that I'm no longer the weak crybaby he's been bullying all these years ago." Noel said.
"Just be careful, Noel." Katara said and Noel nods and follows Odium to the upper part of the foyer.
Noel is on the upper part of the foyer and confronts Odium.
"Ya got any last words before I kill ya?" Odium asked.
"You won't kill me. I know I can defeat you this time." Noel said.
"Stupid baby. I'll end you for good. Then I'll get rid of your worthless brother." Odium said as he takes out the dark Keyblade.
"Try me..." Noel said taking out her stick and getting ready to fight.
"Say goodnight, Baby." Odium said as he attacks Noel.
Odium charges and attacks at Noel with the dark Keyblade but Noel dodges and attacks Odium with her stick but Odium jumps back and unleashes shadow tentacles to get Noel who dodges and delivers a spin kick at Odium who sinks into his shadows and slashes at Noel with the dark Keyblade and then delivers a roundhouse kick but Noel moves and casts Blizzard at Odium who dodges the ice shards and shoots shadow shots at Noel who moves out of the way and strikes ay Odium with her stick and then casts Earth and knocks Odium down but Odium recovers and delivers an upper slash with a shadow blade and then delivers a horizontal slashes with the dark Keyblade but Noel delivers a flip kick at Odium and knocks him into the air but Odium unleashes black lightning bolts at Noel who dodges and strikes with her stick and then casts Fire but Odium unleashes a shadow barrier to protect himself and then delivers a shadow punch at Noel who delivers a roundhouse kick at Odium's head but Odium sinks into the shadows again and then unleashes a shadow hand to try and grab Noel who avoids the shadow hand and strikes with her stick and then delivers a spin kick but Odium slashes with the dark Keyblade and then unleashes shadow tentacles to grab Noel but Noel casts Blizzard to freeze the shadow tentacles and then delivers a drill kick at Odium sending him back and gets knocked down but Odium retaliates with a shadow kick.
Noel dodges the shadow kick and attacks Odium with her stick but Odium grabs the stick and snaps it in half destroying it and then slashes at Noel with the dark Keyblade and then sends out black fireballs at Noel who dodges out of the way and delivers a spin kick at Odium who sinks into shadows again and then rises under Noel to deliver an upper slash with the dark Keyblade and then unleashes black lightning bolts but Noel dodges the attacks and casts Blizzard at Odium who counters with his own black ice shards but Noel avoids the black ice shards and delivers a stomp kick at Odium but Odium unleashes four shadow hands and they grab her and Odium slashes at Noel with his shadow blade and then slashes with his butterfly knives but Noel manages to break free and kicks at Odium's stomach and Noel casts Cure on herself to heal herself but Odium unleashes shadow drills at Noel who casts Aero to protect herself and then casts Earth to strike at Odium and knocks him down to the ground again but Odium recovers himself and throws the dark Keyblade at Noel who dodges the throwing dark Keyblade and casts Thunder at Odium who slashes with his butterfly knives and then delivers a roundhouse kick but Noel dodges the roundhouse kick and delivers her flip kick at Odium and sends him into the air but Odium fires shadow shots but Noel dodges the shadow shots and casts Fire to strike at Odium who strikes back at Noel with shadow drills but Noel delivers a cartwheel kick.
"Stubborn baby! Hurry up and die!" Odium yelled.
"No. I will NEVER lose to you again!" Noel yelled.
Odium shoots shadow shots at Noel who delivers multi kicks at Odium and then strikes at Odium's abdomen knocking him back but Odium retaliates with slashes with his butterfly knives and then slashes with the dark Keyblade but Noel casts Blizzard at Odium who unleashes black fireballs to get rid of the ice shards and then unleashes shadow tentacles to strike at Noel who dodges the shadow tentacles and delivers a diagonal kick at Odium's head but Odium sinks into the shadows and then delivers a huge shadow fist but Noel casts Earth to strike at Odium but Odium destroys the rocks and slashes at Noel with his shadow blade and the unleashes shadow drills but Noel casts Thunder but Odium double slashes with his butterfly knives and then vertical slashes with the dark Keyblade but Noel dodges the slashes and then delivers a stomp kick and then delivers a horizontal kick at Odium's face but Odium unleashes shadow fists and they deliver punches at Noel but Noel casts Gravity to get Odium but Odium delivers a shadow kick and then lashes with shadow tentacles getting Noel but Noel casts Cure on herself and then casts Fire to strike at Odium who slashes with the dark Keyblade and then slashes with the shadow blade and then delivers a shadow blade handstand kick at Noel but Noel recovers and multi kicks at Odium's face and then delivers a kick at Odium's stomach but Odium unleashes black ice shards and then unleashes black lightning bolts but Noel delivers a somersault kick but Odium slashes with the dark Keyblade but Noel delivers an arrow kick and knocks Odium off the upper area and crashes back to the lower area of the foyer.
"Judging from what happened, I think Noel won the fight." Zuko said.
"Serves you right." Kazooie said.
"This fight is NOT over!" Odium yelled as he gets up.
"Yes it is. You've lost." Noel said as she jumps back to the lower area of the foyer and confronts Odium.
"No...no...NO! I won't ACCEPT that!" Odium yelled as he begins to slash at Noel with the dark Keyblade.
As Noel prepares for Odium's attack the dark Keyblade disappears from Odium's hand.
"Huh?" Aang asked.
"WHAT?! How?!" Odium demanded.
The Keyblade then returns to Noel's hand and the dark Keyblade begins to revert back to its original form and back to Radiant Salvation.
"Noel, you've got your Keyblade back!" Knuckles said.
"It must have came back to you after showing your true strength in your heart against Odium." Espio said.
"I think so. Now you know you've lost, Odium." Noel said.
"No...dammit, NO! I HAD that! You ruin EVERYTHING! I WILL NOT LOSE TO A CRYBABY! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOUR FRIENDS! I'LL KILL YOUR BROTHER!" Odium shouted with rage as his left eye turns into the same dark green eye and shadows start to cover his body again and he transforms into the same black shadow imp with the dark green marks. "i'Ll SeNd YoU tO hElL!" Shadow Imp Odium said.
"I would love to see you try." Noel said as she prepares to fight.
"Not so fast, Noel. I'm fightin' by your side." Ken said.
"I'm with you." Banjo said.
"I'm gonna enjoy pecking this freak-show!" Kazooie said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"Let's settle this." Espio said.
"Cheese, let's do our best." Cream said.
"Chao chao." Cheese said.
"You're goin' down, punk!" Knuckles said.
"This will be fun making this psycho cry like the stupid baby HE really is." Carmelita said.
"Morgiana, let's not hold back on this monster." Alibaba said.
"Of course." Morgiana said.
"I'm not running away. I'm with my friends." Aang said.
"Time to discipline you." Katara said.
"I'll enjoy burning you after what you've done." Zuko said.
"Thank you, everyone." Noel said.
"dIe!" Shadow Imp Odium said as he charges at the group.
That's gonna be a chapter end right here. I hope you all enjoyed this. I also hope you like Noel's character development. I'll be making more soon.
Before I go, I'm gonna do a quick response.
Panther J: I would like to add the RWBY Girls and your Assassin's Creed OC, but I regret to inform you that because I've already did my decisions of characters I'm adding in Bygone Fortress, I don't think it's gonna happen in this story because after Noel's first visit in Bygone Fortress, I won't be adding anymore characters because I'm basically halfway through this story. I'm so sorry for this answer. Please don't hate me. HOWEVER, if I plan to make a sequel after Noel's story, I'll see what I can do to add those characters you want me to put in. I hope you understand my decision and please don't get mad at me for this answer. Thanks.
Anyway, that's gonna be it from me. Next time, Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, and Zuko fight against Odium's shadow imp form and then they find their way to get through the castle. I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Also, this is my first post of 2016! :D Hope you expect me to make more stories this year. Anyway, I'm going. Take care and bye!
