Hey there. I know it's been a month, but here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
"It's time to show you my power from mother earth." Bolder said.
He then raises his hands. About three giant pieces of earth were floating on top of him. Each rock then went directly to Sora. Sora runs and jumps to avoid the two rocks. The third one he cuts it in half with his Keyblade. Sora then throws back the two pieces to Bolder. Bolder uses his powers to stop them. He then laughs.
"Nice try, kid." Bolder said. "If you think I would get hit with my own rocks, think again."
"I kind of figured that." Sora said. "But I know you could get hit by this!"
He then threw his Keyblade like a boomerang. It destroyed the two piece of rock in front, before hitting Bolder right in the face. Bolder fell down to his knees, groaning in agony. The Keyblade went straight back to Sora's hand. He then runs to Bolder and starting unleashing powerful combos on him. Before he could do any more, Bolder pushes Sora away.
"Clever little brat, huh…?" Bolder said. "Now try to dodge this!"
He brought out a massive rock, bigger than the other three.
This is gonna be a piece of cake. Sora thought.
Just as it looks easy, the massive rock explodes into pieces. The pieces were bouncing all over the place, hitting Sora. Sora was thrown to the ground hard. Bolder then brought out a massive sledgehammer. He slams it into the ground, creating an earthquake. The magnitude caused the ground to crake. The massive sledgehammer disappears and Bolder then raises his hands again. Bits and pieces of rock from the ground all went to Bolder's arms, creating massive rock hands. Bolder uses his rock hands to pick Sora up. He then started squeezing him.
Sora squeals in pain. Bolder laughed.
"You see?" Bolder said. "You have no idea who you're dealing with. Everything you tried to do was a complete waste of time. You thought you could save these people. Help that mongrel save his family. What a joke, that is. Once we finally get Kingdom Wolves open, your world, this world, and all of those other worlds will belong to my Queen."
He then throws Sora on to the ground. Bolder continues laughing. Everyone was screaming for Sora to get up.
"Sora!" Balto shouted. "Sora! Get up! Please get up!"
Sora was still on the ground, not moving. Balto felt rage burning all over his body. He started charging himself to break the force field. But it was no use.
"Dad, stop!" Kodi said. "It's not working!"
"You're just hurting yourself even more." Dusty said.
Balto finally stops. He was panting for breath.
"Sora…" He said.
"Yes, I know, Dad." Kodi said. "But there's nothing we could do to help him."
"This force field is strong." Kirby said. "We could never break through."
Balto's old teammates try to comfort him.
"I'm sorry, Balto." Steele said. "I really am."
"I can't believe it!" Star said. "Do you know what this means? We've lost! We're doomed! We're all gonna –"
Star didn't finish his sentence. Kaltag bonked him on the head, causing him to knock out.
Balto couldn't expect this. Besides that they've lost, it's that Sora was not moving at all. Sora couldn't be dead. He couldn't! Balto no longer thought of Sora as a best friend, but as a brother. The way he and Sora would share and talk about everything. The fun and laughs they had together. The way Sora played with Balto's grandchildren. And how much Sora would do to protect Balto's family. No. Sora is family and always will be.
Bolder was still laughing.
"Is that all?" He said. "I thought you'd be more of a challenge. Oh well, I can't get it all. Now…Huh?"
Bolder saw that Sora was moving. With cuts and scratches all over his body, Sora manages to get up.
"Heal." He said in low voice.
The healing spell had fixed him up. The cuts and scratches were gone. Everybody gasped. Bolder had his eyes and mouth wide open.
"No way…" He said. "How could a little kid survive my attack?"
Sora smirked.
"I'm not that easy to take down." He said. "If I still have air in me, I'll keep on fighting."
Bolder was turning red.
"We'll just see how long you'll last!" He said.
Bolder brought up another massive rock. It explodes into piece. Sora puts his Keyblade in front of him and starts spinning it to avoid the pieces. In the right moment, Sora, once again, threw his Keyblade like a boomerang at Bolder. It hits Bolder right in the face. Sora then ran towards Bolder. Learning from his mistake, Bolder quickly brings out his sledgehammer to block Sora's attack. Bolder tries to hit Sora, but he was too quick for him. Sora saw the right moment and took it. He started unleashing powerful combos on Bolder. Bolder pushes Sora away and slams his sledgehammer to the ground again. Thousands of rocks were formed into giant hands. Bolder tries to stomp Sora with them. But Sora remembers doing something like this. He avoids each hand and jumps onto the rocky right arm, heading straight towards Bolder. Sora attacks Bolder with all his might. When the giant rocky hands disappeared, Bolder was panting for breath.
"I give." He said. "I know when I'm defeated."
Sora snorted.
"No way am I falling for that old trick." He said.
Bolder chuckled.
"You're right." He said. "I'm just gonna turn the sinister way."
Bolder brought his giant sledgehammer and hits the ground hard. This time, the whole place was shaking. Bits of the ceiling were coming down. Inside where the people of Nome were trapped was coming down even worse. They just barely avoided being hit. Sora gasped. Bolder laughed.
"Did you actually think you would save those people?" He said. "You were never gonna save them. If I can't defeat you, Queen Cecelia or Queen Lavendra can! I had fun though. Thanks for the exercise."
Bolder raised his sledgehammer and was about to hit the ground again. But Sora was fast and stops the sledgehammer from hitting the ground with his Keyblade. Bolder uses all his strength to bring the sledgehammer down, but Sora manages to keep him from doing it.
"I don't think so!" Sora shouted. "No way are you killing all those innocent people!"
He then pushes the sledgehammer away and did one more combo to Bolder. Bolder fell on to his knees, gasping for breath. He tries to use his earth power, but only causes a big piece of ceiling to fall. Bolder screamed as it came down, crushing him. He was dead. Sora drops his Keyblade and fell to his knees.
"Glad that's over." He panted. "That was a tough battle."
The force field had disappeared. Balto, Kodi, Dusty, Ralph, Kirby, Nikki, Kaltag, Star, and Steele ran to him.
"Sora, are you all right?" Balto asked.
Sora looks at him and smiles, giving him a thumbs-up. The dogs started jumping for joy.
"Oh, yeah!" Star said. "You're the man, Sora!"
"You beated that guy easy!" Nikki said.
"You are the most…the greatest…the amazing…" Kaltag said.
"You got guts, Sora." Steele said.
"I knew you had it in ya." Kirby said.
"Yeah, that'll show that guy for messing with Sora." Ralph said.
"You've had me worried sick, Sora." Dusty said.
"Yeah, I thought you were dead when you were on the ground." Kodi said.
Sora chuckled.
"I've been through worse." He said.
Sora tries to get up. Balto, Kodi, and Dusty help him.
"Thanks you guys." He said.
Soon Sora heard what sounded like a round of applause. He turns and sees that it was the people of Nome.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Sora said.
He picks up his Keyblade and aims it at the frozen wall. A second later, it was gone. The people of Nome ran towards Sora and thanked him. Jenna got through the crowd and found Balto. They both nuzzled eachother.
"I knew you'd come." Jenna said.
"Like I'll ever leave you here." Balto said.
With one last thank you, Sora whistled to get everyone's attention.
"Okay listen, I want all of you to follow the dogs." He ordered. "The dogs will lead you out of here. As for me, I still need to take care of something. And hopefully I'll be able to get your town back."
The people did what they were told. The dogs lead them out. All except Balto and Jenna went.
"What are you guys still doing here?" Sora asked.
"I'm not letting you do this on your own." Balto said. "I'm helping."
"So am I." Jenna said.
"But…I'm not what I'm going to face next." Sora said. "You two could hurt or worse."
"We can handle those Heartless." Balto said. "And we don't care how hard it'll be. You've done so much for us, Sora. We just want to return the favor."
Sora smiled.
"Thank you." He said. "Both of you."
Then all three ran upstairs.
"Get ready, Cecelia, Lavendra, it all ends here."
End of chapter. In the next chapter, Sora, Balto, and Jenna go up against Cecelia. And there will be a surprise at the end. It's now 1:13 AM and I'm going to bed right now.
