Chapter 58: Unknown Enemy
The group go through the dark tunnel again and later on they arrive at the ruined area when they were trying to save Elena but while the group are looking around the ruined area something starts to appear behind them and Ky turns to see what looks like a figure wearing a dark crimson hood cloak with black trims in the middle of the cloak, black stars on the cloak, dark blue pants, and crimson combat boots walking toward him and as the crimson hooded cloaked figure walks through Ky he starts having visions of four people together and the three people are smiling while one of them is holding the fourth and last person and after the vision ended Ky falls over.
"Ugh...who are you?" Ky asked turning to the unknown crimson hooded cloaked figure.
"..." The unknown figure doesn't say anything.
"Hello? Anyone home?" T.J. asked.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Shadow asked.
"..." The unknown figure doesn't say anything again and then pulls his left sleeve revealing what looks like an arm cannon blaster. "...Target acquired." The unknown crimson hooded cloaked figure said and it sounds like an emotionless male voice.
"What? What are you talking about?" Ky asked but then he sees the unknown figure using the arm cannon blaster to shoot a blast at Ky who blocks with his Keyblade and he manages to deflect the blast at the top of the ruined area and the blast freezes the top.
"...Target with Keyblade. ...Target seen as a threat. ...Eliminate target and others." The unknown crimson hooded cloaked figure said as he takes out a katana with a black blade, dark red marks on the black blade, silver handle with crimson bandages around it, and a black star at the end of the handle in his right hand.
"I think we'll be facing a new enemy." Ky said getting into his fighting stance.
"I'm helping you!" Elena said as she takes out her staff.
"So am I!" Griff said taking out his bow and arrows.
"You wanna mess with Ky? Then you're dealing with us too!" Max said taking out his shield.
"Pika!" Storm said getting ready to fight.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said getting ready to fight.
"Let's dance." Sly said taking out his cane.
"We should be careful. I think this one's more dangerous than the previous ones we've fought." Ky said.
The unknown figure fires two small bombs at the group who dodge out of the way making the small bombs explode where they landed and Ky tries to attack the unknown figure with his Keyblade but the unknown figure shoots more small bombs but Ky dodges the other small bombs and then triple horizontal strikes with Dawn of Hope followed by Somersault Slash but the unknown figure retaliates by striking at Ky with his katana with lightning speed but Ky strikes back by using Sonic Blade but after his final dash attack the unknown figure throws more small bombs at Ky who dodges the small bombs again and then casts Fire but as the fire gets to the unknown figure nothing was hurting him and the unknown figure shoots his ice missiles but Ky counters by casting Blizzard but nothing was also hurting him.
"My magic attacks aren't hurting him." Ky said.
"So what do we do?" Zatch asked.
"We'll have to figure out a different way to attack him." Tails said.
"We'd better do it soon because he's coming again!" Griff said.
The unknown figure dash slashes at the group with his katana use Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by vertical slashes and then uses Spin Slash but the unknown figure disappears and then reappears and slashes with his katana but Elena shoots magic shots and then throws magic bombs while Griff attacks with his bow and then shoots three arrows but the unknown figure throws his katana at the two but Shadow spin dashes and then multi punches while Blaze attacks with her claws and then attacks with ballet style kicks while Tails summons Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but the unknown figure shoots small bombs at the three but Max bashes with his shield and then uses Cyclone while T.J. multi slashes with his knife but the unknown figure warps away and then reappears and creates a dark barrier around himself but as the barrier wears off Lucky double kicks and then uses Egg Roll while Storm uses Skullbash but the unknown figure slashes with his katana with intense speed again but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but the unknown figure throws larger bombs at the group but Sly uses Cane Spin while Bentley shoots darts while Murray triple punches but the unknown figure dash slashes with his katana and then shoots small bombs but Ky uses Strike Raid getting the unknown figure but after his final Keyblade throw the unknown figure warps away again.

"Poison...it's damaging me. I've got to get rid of it somehow." Ky said.
The unknown figure shoots two large bombs at the group but they dodge and Max bashes with his shield while Storm uses Volt Tackle but the unknown figure shoots more plasma shots but Griff shoots five arrows while Tails fires lasers from his blaster but the unknown figure summons another dark barrier around himself and then shoots another blast at the group dodge but Ky manages to get rid of the poison curse by casting Cure on himself and then tries to attack but the unknown figure vertical slashes with his katana and then throws it but Elena throws magic bombs while T.J. slashes with his knife but the unknown figure dash slashes with his katana and then shoots more blasts to freeze the group but Sly attacks with his cane followed by Cane Jump while Lucky uses Ground Pound but the unknown figure starts slashing all over the ruined area with his katana but the group dodge the all around slashing but the unknown figure keeps slashing all over until the unknown figure stops slashing and then shoots plasma shots but Bentley throws bombs while Shadow home attacks and somersault kicks but the unknown figure shoots smalls bombs but Blaze double ballet kicks while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Murray uses Turbo Charge but the unknown figure disappears and reappears and then shoots plasma shots and another blast to freeze the group but they dodge the blast and the plasma shots and Ky uses Sonic Blade but the unknown figure continues to attack with his katana and then disappears.

"Now what's it doing?" Griff asked and the unknown figure levitates the electric sphere and then both he and the sphere unleash electric beams at the group.
"Move it!" Ky said.
The group dodge the electric beam attack that's destroying almost everything in the ruined area but the group keep dodging until the electric beam attack ends and the unknown figure disappears from the top of the ruined area and then starts shooting ice missiles at the group who dodge but the unknown figure keeps disappearing and then keeps shooting more ice missiles and plasma shots but the group keep dodging and try to attack but the unknown figure slashes at the group with his katana at extreme speed all over the ruined area but the group keep dodging and Ky uses Strike Raid but the unknown figure tries to poison slash at Ky again but Elena shoots magic shots while Grff shoots five arrows but the unknown figure throws small bombs at the group but Tails summons Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Sly attacks with his cane and then uses Cane Spin but the unknown figure shoots ice missiles but the group dodge and Storm uses Skullbash while T.J. dash slashes with his knife but the unknown figure summons another dark barrier around himself and then disappears and shoots ice blasts but the group dodge again and Max uses Cyclone while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga but the unknown figure slashes with his katana all over the ruined area with his extreme speed again but Shadow multi punches and then flip kicks while Murray uses Tornado Punch but the unknown figure shoots large bombs but Bentley shoots darts while Lucky uses Headbutt while Blaze spin attacks with her claws but the unknown figure jumps back to the top and then uses another electric sphere to unleash electric beams again but the group dodge and after the electric beam attack the unknown figure shoots ice missiles but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then uses Ars Arcanum.

The unknown figure slightly stumbles back while clutching his chest with his right hand but remains still and looks at Ky.
"...Strong...heart... Strong resistance..." The unknown crimson hooded cloaked figure said.
"Who are you?" Ky asked.
"..." The unknown crimson hooded cloaked figure doesn't say anything and just then the unknown figure creates a dark portal and starts to walk away.
"Hey! Come back here!" Ky said as he runs at the unknown figure but is stopped by an ice missile.
"...Meet again..." The unknown figure said as he walks to the dark portal and it disappears.
"What was that all about?" Murray asked.
"And what did he mean by meeting again?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know, but if he shows himself again, we'll be ready." Ky said.
"Was he the disturbance you felt?" Zatch asked.
"I guess. I'm not feeling immense darkness around here." Ky said.
"That should be a good sign. Let's get out of here. I don't think there's anything left to do here." Elena said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
The group leave the ruined area and return to the dark tunnel and get out of it and return to the courtyard area and then later on they return to the garden area where they see Jeremy, Colleen, Brian, and Laura on the ground and so the group run to them.
"Master Jeremy!" T.J. said.
"What happened?" Ky asked.
"While you were finding out that source of the disturbance you felt, we saw Kaos and a few Black Xetis with him. He somehow knew that you sealed the final Keyhole and ended Zervik's dark reign of this world. He demanded to know where you are and we tried not to budge and tell him, but he decided the only way to take you is to have someone who cared for you." Jeremy explained.
"No...did he...?" Ky stops talking.
"We did our best to stop him and Brian and I fought him off, but Zervik proved to be too strong and powerful for us and he went to the castle." Jeremy said.
"Let's go." Ky said and the others nod.
The group return to the castle and are back at the foyer and they search around but then Ky sees the door leading to the library and it's forced open and so Ky goes for the opened door and enters the library and he searches around and there are books on the floor and some shelves are destroyed and Ky keeps searching until he finds the chair Sophia sat on the floor.
"No way." Ky said.
"Zervik must now have Sophia." Tails said.
"I'm gonna find them and save her. While I'm at it, I'll deal with Zervik too." Ky said.
"But we don't know where they are." Kiyo said.
"We have to see where they are." Bentley said.
"But how?" T.J. asked.
Just then Ky starts to feel something in his chest.
"Ky, what's wrong?" Max asked.
"I dunno, but I think a feeling I have wants me to go back to the Grand Cathedral." Ky said.
"If you say so." Sly said.
The group go through the castle again and later on they arrive back at the Grand Cathedral and Ky makes his way to the altar and the group meet with the white cloaked figure again.
"You." Ky said.
"I see you have sealed the final keyhole to this world. Well done, Ky." The white cloaked figure said.
"Thanks, but Zervik is still out there and now he has Sophia." Ky said.
"Yes. You wish to save her and stop Zervik. Zervik has taken Sophia to the dark world of the Black Xetis. You will have to go to the Realm of Darkness to find the Black Xetis' world and put an stop to them and Zervik." The white cloaked figure said.
"But how can we get to this Realm of Darkness? Even if we leave this world, I doubt we'll find it along with the other worlds we've been to." Ky said.
"Fear not. I know a way. It will be able to help you get to the Black Xetis' world." The white cloaked figure said.
"Really? Can you lead us?" Elena asked.
"Of course. First, a reward for what you have been doing, Ky. Consider this a thank you gift." The white cloaked figure said as he takes the Light Crystal and then turns it into what looks like a light blue crystal wristband with a pure white star on it. "Take it. It is now yours for bringing glory and hope back to Divine Kingdom. Thank you." The white cloaked figure said giving Ky the light blue crystal wristband.
"Thank you." Ky said as he takes the light blue wristband and it's now on his left wrist. "What will this do?" Ky asked.
"This will grant you enhanced speed, strength, and agility. It will also grant you a new power and you will discover it in due time." The white cloaked figure answered.
"Okay. Thanks." Ky said.
"Now then, I shall help you get to the dark world." The white cloaked figure said.
The group follow the white cloaked figure out of the Grand Cathedral and they return to the throne room and the white cloaked figure walks to the throne and then takes out his gold Keyblade and raises it and performs a spell to make the throne move to the left side revealing a hole on the ground.
"Come." The white cloaked figure said as he walks down a staircase leading downward.
The group follow the white cloaked figure down the stairs and after going down the group are now in a different room that looks like a metallic hallway and they go through until they reach a metallic door.
"Through this door lies a secret chamber. There, it will be the means of your way into the dark world of the Black Xetis and you'll be able to find Zervik and defeat him." The white cloaked figure said.
"Sounds good to me. I'm ready and so are my friends." Ky said and they nod.
The white cloaked figure opens the metallic door leading the group into what looks a laboratory with multiple machinery that's broken down and while the group are looking around the broken laboratory the white cloaked figure walks to what looks like a tiny keyhole and places his gold Keyblade into the keyhole causing the wall in front of the group to open up revealing a different metallic room and the group enter it.
"What's this place for?" Ky asked.
"This was Lord Fortitudo's secret research laboratory. He used this place to study the Black Xetis, the Heartless, and the darkness itself, just like Aptus and Ansem did. He also researched how to keep the darkness in check with the light so it would not cause any chaos and instability of the worlds, but it seems his research turned out to become a failure because of Zervik's madness and then took over this radiant kingdom and allowed the Black Xetis and the Heartless to reside in this world as well, as you've already realized." The white cloaked figure explained.
"How will this help us?" Elena asked.
"Lord Fortitudo's research led him to discover a portal that could lead even to the dark realm. He kept it hidden so no one of evil would have to discover it. He sealed this room before the fall of Divine Kingdom began." The white cloaked figure said as he uses his gold Keyblade to reveal something and it's a black portal at the end of the room. "This is it. With that, you should be able to get into the Black Xetis' world." The white cloaked figure said.
"Then let's go." Ky said.
"Before you do go in, I must tell you something. Whatever Zervik desires is in that world. You must prevent him from ever reaching it. If he does claim his goal, then all will be lost for all the worlds. That must not happen." The white cloaked figure said.
"Okay. If we defeat Zervik, then will the worlds that were destroyed by the Black Xetis and the Heartless be restored?" Ky asked.
"Most certainly. The peace should be restored if Zervik is stopped and as long as he does not complete his plans." The white cloaked figure said and Ky nods.
"Guys?" Ky asked to his friends.
"If you're asking I'm coming, the answer' obvious. Yes!" Griff said.
"I'm NOT letting you go off by yourself...at least not without me." Elena said.
"You helped me become strong throughout this adventure. No way I'm backing out now." Max said.
"This won't be easy, but I know we'll get through in the end." Tails said.
"I'm with you no matter what happens. I will help as I can." Blaze said.
"This sounds like fun to me. I'll look forward destroying Zervik." Shadow said.
"Pika!" Storm said perching on Ky's shoulder.
"Zatch and I are going along." Kiyo said.
"Yeah! We're team now and forever!" Zatch said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said coming to Ky's side.
"Master Jeremy would want me to a brave warrior. I'll make him proud." T.J. said.
"Like I'm gonna say no when we have a villain to take down." Sly said.
"Sly's going so that means I will too. I'm ready to be of any assistance." Bentley said.
"I'm more than ready...I'm PUMPED! Let's go!" Murray said.
"You guys are the best. Okay. Let's get going." Ky said as he enters the black portal and the others follow him.
"Good luck...Virtus." The white cloaked figure said as he vanishes in light.
The group are now in a different place and it's completely black and ethereal and has several Black Xeti symbols all around.
"Okay. Just like what he said, this should lead to the dark realm. Let's get through and find the Black Xetis' world." Ky said and the group nod.
The group go through the black portal and later on while the group keep moving they see what looks like a black and crimson hole.
"Is this it?" Elena asked.
"Only one way to find out. Ready?" Ky asked and the group nod. "Let's get started." Ky said as he enters the black and crimson hole and the group follow him.
Whew! This chapter's done! So, what'd you guys think of the unknown boss fight? Was it great and epic? Let me know what you think. It seems we are now getting close, folks. Now, if you're gonna say something, I am sorry for the part to where Ky and his friends have their way to get to the dark world was confusing. That idea was in my head and I wrote it. So sorry. Anyway, I think I'm gonna have a field day writing the next chapter. Next time, Ky and his friends arrive at the dark world and they make and fight their way through the dark world to find stop Zervik. I hope you guys are gonna look forward to the next chapter! I'll see you all there. Goodbye for now, take care, and don't forget to review! Later!
