Chapter LV: The Final Battle: Amnael's True Power
Nightshroud: Sorry Lauracroft55, but your guess wasn't right. That did make me think about writing a short side story for him. But anyway, the character might be surprising. Don't necessarily look for the most prominent people, though that was a good guess I think. And I'm glad you've found my story, Forgotten in Darkness, and I'm glad you like it! Anyway, here's the fight you've been waiting for!

"But even though I failed to stop that boy and the princess, I will finally end their bloodline and complete the revenge I planned ten thousand years ago!"
"Not if we stop you!" said Kai, standing by Reyna. Amnael smiled and summoned his aerial blades to his hands.
"You will try!"
He let out a cry and spun through the air, swinging his blades at them.
"Refleja!" Namé called, bringing up a shield to defend them. Amnael smiled wickedly as the Kronos Stone on his forehead and the pendant with the symbol of the Kronos Seal around his neck began to glow. His aerial blades flashed and he smashed through the shield, knocking back the group. They blast scattered them in opposite directions, and Reyna looked up, dazed, as Amnael stood in front of her.
"It wasn't nearly long enough, was it?" he said tauntingly. He swung his blades down at her, but a sword appeared in front of her and blocked Amnael's attack.
"What-" Amnael started, then jumped back as he surveyed the new intruder.
"Heh, pick on someone your own size," Raphael said.
Amnael's eyes narrowed.
"You..." he spat out. Raphael turned to Tyson and threw him a keychain.
"That's right," Raphael said. "I'm here to help stop you."
"So you'd betray me? And go with these people? You know that mankind must be destroyed to remove it's taint so that paradise can be rebuilt!"
"Betray you?! You betrayed me when you fed me those lies. These people are my true friends. They helped me see you for what you are!"
"Then you're of no use to me," said Amnael with a chuckle. He lifted his hand, and the Seal of Kronos appeared around Raphael.
"Sacred Seal of Kronos, enslave his heart!"
"No, Raphael!" said Tyson, running forward. Raphael smiled as the Seal encircled him.
"Don't worry about me. Do what you need to do. I know you can beat him."
Their was a flash of light, and Raphael collapsed to the ground.
"Raphael!" Tyson shouted. Amnael laughed and looked to the wall to see Raphael's image appear on it.
"Don't bother. You're voice can no longer reach him where he is."
Amnael turned to them, his eyes glowing yellow. The Seal of Kronos suddenly appeared on the floor, covering the entire room. The Seal appeared on Amnael's forehead, burning red.
"You monster!" Tyson shouted. He attached the keychain to his keyblade and summoned his new weapon, the Divine Justice. It was white with wings on the hilt, shaped like the Three Wishes keyblade (from the first KH) and had a scale as its keychain. With that in his right hand and Lionheart in his left he leaped at Amnael. Amnael laughed and clashed blades with him. Amnael pushed back and seemed to be winning until Tyson grinned.
"Light Pulse!"
Amnael was blasted back into the wall by a wave of energy from Tyson's keyblades.
"Thundaja!" Namé called, bringing bolts of lightning down on Amnael.
"Dark Shield!" he called, protecting himself. He suddenly teleported behind Reyna and slashed at her. She jumped out of the way and summoned light to her.
"Halo Shuriken!"
She threw the razor sharp halos at Amnael, slicing through him. But the Amnael she attacked faded away, and the real Amnael hit her from behind.
"Fool. You have no idea of my powers. Infinte Darkness!"
Using his Infinite Darkness technique, the room suddenly became pitch black. Each other kids looked around in bewilderment before they felt themselves being slashed and hit from every side. Suddenly the darkness was sucked away to where Amnael stood. Fayt charged his symbology and aimed at Amnael.
"Ice Needles!"
Large ice needles appeared and flew at Amnael. He created the Seal of Kronos in midair in front of him, using it as a shield. Fayt growled and grabbed his sword, rushing at Amnael. He swung at Amnael, who ducked down to avoid the attack. Fayt grinned.
"Gotcha."
He turned and swung his foot, catching Amnael in the face. Amnael caught himself and aimed his hand at Fayt.
"Gaia's Hand!"
The ground in front of Fayt broke open and a large hand made of stone grabbed him and slammed him into the wall on the opposite side of the room. Amnael smirked, but then quickly dodged as Reyna lashed at him with her whip. As he jumped back, Reyna charged her hand with light energy.
"Pearl!"
She shot the ball of light, which exploded into Amnael. He fell to the ground, and Fayt was freed from Amnael's attack. Amnael stood, laughing to himself.
"What's so funny?" Tyson asked.
"You fools still have no idea. The Seal of Kronos is only the first stage of the true seal. Now I will activate it's second form. Seal of Oranos!"
The symbols on the seal changed, and it's color turned to blue. His aerial blades also changed from red to blue.
"Now you will see what powers this stage holds. Phoenix Flower!"
He jumped high into the air and let loose a stream of fireballs from his mouth. Reyna jumped into the air and slashed her whip rapidly, slicing through the fireballs.
"That technique..." Kai thought.
"Water Geyser!"
Amnael lifted his hands, and suddenly geysers errupted out of the ground. The group jumped together in the center, but Amnael raised his hands together and aimed the water at them.
"Aqua Needle!"
"Blizzaja!" Namé called, freezing the water as it came at them. The frozen water then collapsed to the ground and vanished.
"Those moves..." Tyson and Fayt thought.
"Mirage of Nightmare!" he called, hundreds of his form surrounding them.
"But that's-" Reyna gasped.
All the forms of Amnael rushed forward at them, swinging their aerial blades.
"Fendell!"
Kai glowed with intense light, blinding Amnael. In a flash he moved and sliced through all the forms, causing them to vanish. Amnael appeared at the far end away from them. He smiled and looked at Reyna.
"I think you'll like this one. Dark Bolt!"
He shot a blast of darkness at her.
"Faith!" she called, sending of a shockwave of light to destroy the blast.
"Then it's true," Reyna said.
"I see you've guessed it then," Amnael said with a cruel smile.
"I thought so," said Kai.
"What's going on?" Tyson asked, confused.
"The Seal of Oranos allows me to use the powers of anyone whose heart has been taken by the Seal."
All of their eyes widened, the realization hitting them.
"Now you see how hopeless it is," Amnael said with a smirk.
"If we could beat all the rest of the Organization, then we can beat you too," Tyson said. Amnael laughed.
"Still you understand nothing. The Organization was never meant to defeat you."
"What?" they all gasped.
"Their only purpose was to collect enough hearts before you began to awaken. After that, their only purpose was to relinquish their hearts to the Seal and their power to me. You were my most valuable puppets from the start."
"No, that can't be!" Reyna gasped.
"Heh, you don't need to believe it. You're going to die here and now. Hellzone Grenade!"
Amnael charged his hand with darkness and shot a powerful blast of energy at them.
"Treanid!" Kai said, jumping in front of them. In a flash of light, wings emerged from Kai's back and blocked the blast. Amnael clutched his fists angrily.
"Stone Cemetery!"
Amnael slammed his aerial blades down, causing the earth within the seal to shatter upwards.
"Refleja!" Namé called, keeping them safe inside the shield as the earth errupted and lifted them up. As the shield released them, Namé leaped out and aimed her staff at Amnael.
"Spell Blast!"
Amnael was blasted backward against the seal, and Namé charged one of her most powerful spells.
"Southern Cross!"
The orb in her staff glowed white, and a white cross appeared on the ground around them. The ground where the cross appeared errupted in a blast of light energy. Unfortunately Amnael had managed to jump clear in time to avoid the attack. Amnael laughed and threw a rose into the air, that suddenly began to rotate.
"Rose Funnel!"
Razor sharp rose petals shot away from it like a funnel, flying right at Namé.
"That's Kurama's technique," she thought, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. Since she was too paralyzed to move, Fayt leaped in front of her.
"Wind Scar!" he yelled, sending off a blast of wind that send the rose petals scattering and sliced up Amnael.
"You like air?" Amnael growled. "Then take this!"
Amnael jumped into the air and said, "Wind Scythe!"
He summoned wind into both his hands which he held high over his head. Then he threw it down, in a thin, sharp form. Fayt dodged out of the way as Tyson ran up and hurled his keyblade.
"Dual Light Raid!"
He hurled both his keyblades, which flashed like blurs of light and sliced Amnael, knocking him to the ground. Amnael stood and laughed.
"So you want some too? Burst Flame Inpact!"
He drew energy around him, forming a red shield. Then he threw his arms out, sending it blasting outward in a fiery explosion. Tyson was thrown back to the ground as Amnael lifted into the air, fire sprouting from his back to form fiery wings.
"Phoenix Flight!"
He flew into the air and charged his hand with fire, forming a flaming claw around it.
"Demon Fire Fang!"
He flew down at Tyson and slashed at him with the flaming claw. Tyson blocked with the keyblade, but the attack was stoo strong to hold, and Amnael forced him back, raking the claw across his shoulder. He cried out and stumbled back as Amnael pulsated with darkness, and summoned black fire to his hands.
"Hellfire Twin Breaths of Flame!"
Amnael put his hands forward and shot massive blasts of black fire from them. Tyson watched in shock as the fire came closer. Reyna jumped in front of him and pulled Tyson close, while summoning her whip. Then she began to spin rapidly around, her whip forming a shield around them.
"Protective Light Barrier!"
The fireblasts crashed into the shield in a brilliant flash. When the flash died down, Reyna stood unharmed, glaring resolutely at Amnael.
"You can't stop us. Hording all the power in a team doesn't make you strong. Having each member cooperate with that power makes you storng. And that's how we'll win. Through teamwork!"
Amnael chuckled darkly to himself.
"Is that so? Then let's see how you do when you're little friends aren't here to help you!"
He held his hands up, and said, "Now I activate the third form. Seal of Orichalcos!"
The seal pulsated and turned green, along with Amnael's aerial blades and the seal on his forehead.
"Now witness true power!"
He held his hand up, and the fragment of the stone on his forehead as well as the pendant on his neck glowed. Individual seals appeared around Tyson, Kai, Namé, and Fayt.
"Take them."
All of them suddenly staggered and fell to the floor.
"No!" Reyna screamed, tears flowing down her face as she ran over to Kai.
"Don't you see how helpless you are?" Amnael said cruelly. "Now I'll finish you once and-"
"SHUT UP!" Reyna screamed. Amnael stepped back as his skin bristled with the power that suddenly flowed through the air. Reyna suddenly began to glow with an incredible power and light, and beautiful angel wings suddenly sprouted from her back. She stood and faced him, light energy sparking all around her.
"Now it's you and me!"
Nightshroud: Whew, this one was my longest yet I think! I hope you liked the fight! And don't be too sad about the fate of the group. Anyway, review and let me know how you liked it! And yes, Reyna has finally awakened! Woo! 8D If you're wondering about Sora and Co., they probably won't be back next chapter, but the one after that. Oh and if anyone has more guesses, feel free to fire away. Maybe reading over the Destiny Island chapters might give you a clue. Anyway, don't forget to review and look for an update soon!
