Chapter 5
They had finally reached the ballroom. Ichigo and his friends looked around in amazement.
"Wow... this would be a great place to have a party!", Keigo shouted.
"Shut up, Keigo," said Tatsuki. Ichigo ignored his friend's comment and asked, "So where's this guy at?"
Donald looked around but saw nothing. He then looked up at the upper floor.
"WAK!", he shouted, getting everyone's attention.
"What is it, Donald?", asked Anne.
"Up there!", he shouted as he pointed up at a balcony. Everyone looked up and gasped.
A man wearing an Organization XIII coat was standing on the balcony!
"YOU!", the Beast shouted angrily.
"It seems that you are still as stubborn as ever," said the man. "I warned you that if you didn't surrender, your precious rose would be history."
"Just who are you?!", Aqua asked.
"You can call me... Kixnc," said the man.
"Weird name," Renji muttered.
"I told you to get out and never come back!", Beast shouted.
Kixnc sighed and said, "I guess we'll have to do this the hard way." He snapped his fingers and a dark purple version of a Darkside appeared in front of them. They jumped back in surprise.
"It's a Dark Follower! I remember facing it when I was in the Organization!", Roxas exclaimed.
Ichigo took out his Soul Reaper badge and placed it on his forehead. Unfortunately, Keigo was standing right behind him, so when he exited his body, his body landed on top of poor Keigo.
"WAH!", Keigo cried out as the taller teen landed on top of him. Renji pulled him off of the goofy teen.
Rukia exited her "body" and stood next to Ichigo with a white sword.
"Alright, let's go!", Sora shouted as he summoned Kingdom Key.
"We'll help!", Terra shouted as he and Roxas summoned ther Keyblades and charged at the Dark Follower. Donald got his wand out and followed them, along with Beast. Unfortunately, as soon as they left the group, a force field appeared, forcing the others to stay behind.
The giant Heartless punched the ground and many dark purple Shadows rose out of a dark river it created.
"Get out of our way!", Ichigo exclaimed as he slashed at a couple Shadows, destroying them.
"Guys! This thing's vunerable to Thunder magic!", Roxas shouted.
"Thunder magic? Coming right up!", Donald shouted as he used a Thundara spell, delivering an impressive amount of damage on the Dark Follower and the Shadows. While the Heartless were stunned, Terra used this opportunity and charged at them.
"Quake!", he shouted, destroying the Shadows in front of him.
"RUKIA!", Ichigo shouted.
She nodded and gripped her Zanpakuto and said, "First Dance, White Moon!"
A white circle appeared around her and it shot upwards towards the Dark Follower, freezing it's arms.
"It won't hold it off for long, so be careful!", she shouted.
"Sora!", the Beast yelled. The spikey haired Keyblade wielder nodded and they unleashed their limit.
"GET OUT!", Beast shouted before they both roared, destroying several Shadows. They then slashed at the Shadows and used Last Roar on the Dark Follower, delivering another amount of damage and destroying all of the Shadows.
"ICHIGO!", Roxas shouted as he and the orange haired Soul Reaper jumped up in the air.
"GETSUGA TENSHO!", Ichigo shouted as he sent a wave of dark red energy towards the giant Heartless.
"You're finished!", Roxas shouted as he used Thundaga with both Oathkeeper and Oblivion, combining it with Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho and sent it towards the Dark Follower, delivering the final blow.
The Dark Follower gave one last roar before fading into darkness.
After it disappeared, Kixnc clapped from the upper floor and said, "I'm impressed. You destroyed that thing much quicker than I expected you to."
The Beast growled and said, "YOU! Get out of my castle and never come back!"
"As you wish," Kixnc said before vanishing and suddenly appearing behind Belle. "But I think I'll take something back with me."
"BELLE!", Beast shouted with a look of worry on his face.
"Let's make a bargain, shall we? You surrender to us, and I'll let the girl go," said Kixnc. The Beast growled at him.
"Let her go you big meanie!", Nel shouted as she leaped towards him.
"NEL, DON'T!", Sora yelled.
The eye holes on Nel's skull mask glowed as she shouted, "SUPER ACCELERATION!", and she rammed herself into Kixnc's stomach, forcing him to let go of Belle and sent him tumbling back into a wall. Everyone stared in amazement at this.
"Did Nel just-", asked Anne.
"Yeah," said Vanitas.
Kixnc groaned and clutched his stomach. "That actually hurt. No matter, there's no way you could beat me like that," he said as he summoned a portal of darkness.
"Until next time," the Organization member said as he entered the portal.
"Oh, no you don't!", Ichigo cried as he ran towards him, only for the portal to close just as he reached it.
"He's gone!", said Orihime.
"Good riddance," the Beast growled as he walked over to Belle.
"Are you alright, Belle?", he asked. She nodded. He turned to the gang and said, "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have given up and surrendered to them and Belle would have been taken away."
"You're welcome. If he or any Organization member or Heartless show up again, just call us and we'll take care of it!", Sora said.
Beast and Belle nodded. Ichigo walked back over to his body and reentered it. Once he was back in it, he got up to his feet and said, "I think it's time to go."
Sora nodded and they walked to the doors, but before they left, they waved goodbye to the servants, Beast, and Belle.
"Good luck with the spell!", Ven said as they walked out of the ballroom.
When they got out to the courtyard, Keigo asked, "Hey, when this is all over, can we come back and have a party here?"
"No, Keigo," Ichigo said.
"Just one?"
"No."
"Come on, we invite a few girls over and this place won't be so gloomy looking!", Keigo said as they climbed into the Gummi Ship.
"No."
"Please?"
"Still no," Ichigo said as the Gummi Ship started to lift off the ground.
"Alrght, you win," Keigo said reluctantly as the ship blasted off into space.
