Kingdom Hearts:Chain Of Shadow

Chapter 11: Lost In Shadow

Sora was lying in the infirmary for a few hours. After nightfall Sora awoke from his sleep. He slowly inclined himself.He rubbed his head and looked at his chest there was a small scar there. Sora looked around to see how everything was. there many people in beds all around him. He tried to stand up and then he hearda voice from behind him.

"Sora, Don't exert yourself. You just fought an intense battle it's time for rest." Zell walked over to his bed."You really were amazing. You tore through him like crazy."

"Ouch," sora groaned as he propped himself up agianst the back of the bed." I guess cuz i can feel the strain on my body. I'm tired as hell." he laughed.

"Well I bet you would be. Get some rest in a few days you and me are going to be Leading the Attack on the Emperial Palace General." He saluted.

"GENERAL?"sora looked puzzled."I'm a general?"

"Yep after that they promoted you to general Sora."Zell said."Now get some rest" and he walked out.

"Namine you there?"sora asked.

Namine materialized right next to sora."Sora you alright?" She asked.

"I'm alright. Just a few cuts an bruises i'll be out of here in two days."Sora answered.

"thats good."she said."Donald and goofy are coming to get you. They'll be here in a few days. Maybe in enough time to help out with the battle. Squall is going to go pick up Kairi after they finish there."

"Thank you namine."Sora said and he closed his eyes."I'm going to rest now."

Namine then drifted off to wait for the next day.

Two Days Later.

"Okay this is the plan Sora will lead a brigade to come in through the south gate of the empirial palace. I will Lead a group of soldiers through the north entrance. We will slowly take over the rooms surrounding the throne room. Then me and sora and our two brigades will storm the Throne room and Capture The emperor. Any Questions?" Zell Asked.

A red headed soldier asked" Yeah, When do we start?"

"Dawn."

in the palace

The emperor was sleeping in his throne for he was tired from the battle of the day before. He did not hear the footsteps of the approaching assailant slowly walking forward. He tiptoed slowly to the emperor and raised his sword the closer he got. Then right as the emperor awoke. The man lashed out with his sword and the emperor fell dead at his throne.

"Now for plan B."Spoke the assailant. and then right in front of the dying eyes of the emperor. the assailant transformed into the emperor.

South gate

"Okay on the signal we charge."sora spoke to his brigade of 5000 troops.

A few moments passed and then a flare was launched from the north"Thats the Signal!CHARGE!"Sora pulled out his keyblades and Ran towards the gate. Sora and his army Dashed forward through the little outer gaurd force gaurding the door.

"Set the charges!"Sora yelled.

His men bent down and set some c4 to blow the gate.As they did so men on the walls began firing down upon his soldiers. the ground troops began to fire back.

"HIT THE DECK!" One of the bomb specialists yelled.Everyone ducked for cover and when the bomb exploded the gate fell down.Then the army marched into the palace. But then things were different. Instead of Human soldiers inside.there were heartless.

"Everyone Retreat. This is not what we planned for." Sora yelled to his men. Sora pulled out his keyblades and began to fight with the heartless. His strokes were like hammer on steel plumelling those wretched creatures born of shadow. His movements were quick and strong pushing the heartless ever deeper into the unknown. then about halfway into the palace a voice called out to him.

"Sora!"Zell cried.

"Zell!"sora said."this isn't what was supposed to happen." as he finished that he heard something down the Hallway.

It was donald and goofy."SORA!"yelled donald and goofy as they ran gallantly down the hall towards sora.

" no time right now guys our plan has backfired there are too many heartless we must make it to the throne room so we may destroy the emperor." Sora yelled.

"Okay sora."said donald and goofy.

"lets go."said Zell and then the four of them marched onward into the palace.As they marched heartless attacks occured with each step more Shadows and Soldiers rose to attack them it seemed as if they were more numerous than ever before."split up. Donald go with zell goofy with me." They nodded and split into two groups.

Minutes later they both arrived at the door to the throne room.

Zell and Sora raised their keyblades to unlock all Four locks that were on the door. then they opened the door and stepped into the room.It was tall very ornamental it had great stone pillars reching to the ceiling.

In the center lay the throne and on it was non other than the emperor.

"REXOR, You have been beat! Give us control of the Kingdom of sands!" Zell yelled.

The emperor's head was bowed and then he raised it."Tisk tisk tisk. stupid boy. you have not won. In fact the game is just beginning. and then he floated from the chair and his appearance began to change. into that of Ruxxon.

"RUXXON!"Sora spoke."Then what happened to the emperor?" He asked.

"The emperor is dead"The ground began to shake. cracks in the floor began to show. Dust fell from the Cieling and then Blocks of stone began to fall too."You are in my domain!" he continued.He began to glow with an eerie black and red light."You will be punished by the power of fire!" and then from the cracks in the ground flames rose from them."And I will take you from this world. And give you to my master. So that we may Open the door." And as he said this. His hands began to burn with flames. "AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" and then he dropped balls of fire upon his foes. and they quickley dodged away from them.

Donald began casting his water and blizzard spells at Ruxxon. Goofy attacked him by throwing his sheild but then was knocked down and unconcious. Sora and Zell fought right in his face. They were spinning around. They blades made contact and fire spun towards the ground. And after a moment a fire ball hit donald and knocked him out.

Sora and Zell spun back and began charging there keyblades power. They then put their keyblades beams together and then directed them towards Ruxxon. As they did so Ruxxon threw a beam of fire and their beams met and Exploded knocking them out of the air. The three of them slammed into the ground.

Sora stood up and walked towards ruxxon. he bent down over ruxxon and said."where is riku?" he pointed the keyblade down upon him.

"he is on a ship but i don't know where I'm summoned I never know where were at."he said.

"Well looks like your life is over."he stabbed the keyblade through the heart and he dissapeared.

Sora went to the others and drug them out of the collapsing palace.
