Chapter 2
The unlikely group of young heroes made it safely to just outside the city, landing in a clearing where they could watch out for enemies on all sides. After making sure no Nobodies were in the area, the flying stingray flashed green again, this time turning into a boy with brown hair and green eyes wearing a green jacket with the number ten on it.
"Phew, I'm tired." Ben sighed, taking a seat on a rock.
"You're tired? What about the rest of us?" not everyone draws power from a watch on their wrist you know." Gwen retorted, sitting herself down.
"Ok people, no need to attack each other. We've got enough 'people' doing that as it is." Gohan interrupted as he pulled up the bag on the back of his belt. leaning down to the two most wounded members of the group, the young warrior offered them a pair of beans. "Here, these are Senzu beans. They'll heal you and restore your strength." He told them, smiling reassuringly.
Giving the bean a sceptical look, Rai conceded to open his mouth and let Gohan slip it in before repeating the process with Jake. As he swallowed it, Rai's eyes went from sceptical and pained to wide and astounded before he leapt to his feet in a sudden burst of energy.
"Whoa, I've never felt better." He cried happily, looking over his previously wounded body and not finding a scratch.
"Oh yeah baby, that's simply awesome." Jake joined in, flipping to his feet.
Smiling at the quick recoveries, Gohan offered one to Kim, who had clearly taken a few heavy blows in the battle herself. Thanking him gratefully, she took the offered veggie and swallowed it, immediately pleased with the sudden disappearance of even the slightest bit of pain and fatigue.
"Well, that's the last of them." Gohan stated, putting the bag away. "Now, despite the world being in danger, I think introductions are in order here. My name's Gohan." He added, smiling welcomingly at the others. "I'm half alien, a Saiyan, warrior race."
"I'm Kim Possible. I have no powers, but am still a tough heroine." Kim went next, holding her head up with pride.
"I'm Jake Long, the American Dragon." Jake stepped forward, waving to everyone.
"I still can't believe dragons are real." Kim muttered, looking at the teen beside her with curious eyes.
"I can't believe he can turn into a human." Rai responded, raising an eyebrow. "Dojo only changes size."
"Different kind of dragon, obviously." Jake shrugged, turning to Rai. "So who and what are you? You're dressed like a monk, but you have hair!"
"Yes, I do." Rai frowned, ruffling his hair. "I'm Raimundo, Xiaolin Dragon of the wind, currently at the Wudai level."
"Oh, I've hear of you guys. You're tough and travel the world protecting magical items." Jake responded.
"That's us." Rai replied, crossing his arms behind his head.
"Well, I'm sure you know already, everyone knows my name now unfortunately, I'm Danny Phantom, half human, half ghost." Danny spoke next, transforming back to human form as he did so.
"I'm Ben Ten." Ben said, not bothering to stand up. "This watch on my wrist is alien tech that allows me to turn into a number of different aliens, originally ten."
"And I'm his cousin, Gwen." She smiled, adjusting her cloak. "I'm a sorceress."
"Wow, we have quite a variety of talents here." Gohan said, looking around the group. "Lets see if their compatible enough to stop the invasion. What do you guys say?"
"A team up?" Kim asked, smirking at the messy haired teen. "Spankin."
"Now that we've made ourselves an official team, how about we figure out how to deal with this threat?" Danny asked, earning nods and serious looks from the others.
Gwen stepped forward and into the middle of the group, drawing the attention of the others. Pulling out a small, unusual book, she flipped a few pages and raised her hand, muttering a few foreign words under her breath, her outstretched hand glowing blue as she chanted. The others' eyes widened as they took a step back, watching the energy leave her hand and gather in a large sphere before her. Beside her, Ben smirked at the gasps the others gave out, completely unused to this type of power, as within the magic, images of each breed of Nobody to attack, including Xemnas, appeared.
"Lets start with what we know." She stated matter-of-factly.
Deep within the heart of the castle, was a Grand Hall with a ceiling nearly sky high. Circling the room were thirteen thrones, each one exactly alike, except for the fact that each one was at a different level of elevation. On each throne sat an Organisation member, their black cloaks clearly standing out in contrast to the entirely white room. Each of the members had their hoods drawn, covering their identities. Xemnas, the leader of the group and the man sitting on the highest throne was the only exception.
On the lowest throne, blue eyes shined with regret within the darkness created by the owner's hood, something that a Nobody shouldn't be able to feel, as the group watched images of seven heroes as they fought outside. The seven had peaked Xemnas' interest, both with their powers and their strong wills, not to mention the courage they had to hold to try and attack the castle.
"There's never been a world to have such variety in powers. I wonder why that is." The blue eyes turned from the screen to the sixth highest throne, bearing one of the most intellectual and wisest of the Organisation, careful to make his eyes emotionless again. It would do no good to reveal the difference between him and the others yet and it anyone would notice, it would be this member.
"I do not know Zexion." Xemnas answered, his eyes never leaving the images as Danny appeared, turning intangible to escape the Heartless. "It will be interesting to see what else is out there, but right now, lets focus on these seven. Each one is young, yet powerful and determined. Our Organisation could easily gain it's twentieth member just from them."
"And there is most likely even more like them." The member on the seventh highest throne stated calmly, his voice as dead as Xemnas'. "Previous images we've watched from around the world tell us they each came from a group of individuals much like themselves, both in powers and stubbornness. While I agree that we should move quickly to acquire these young people, I would also suggest grabbing them. Perhaps start the next phase of our plan in their areas?"
"I like it." Came from the second lowest throne, this voice sounding cruel and feminine. "It would mean it would be much easier to 'convert' these others and the seven wouldn't have anyone else coming to their aid. With that veritable erased, these seven at our front door will be that much more vulnerable to us."
"Very well." Xemnas conceded, much to the distraught of the blue eyed member. "Summon dark towers in three of those areas and have all the Heartless we brought with us set up there. However, with such powerful warriors in each of these areas, we must insure that the towers are completely protected. Meaning, one of us must watch over each tower."
"Let me guard one here." The female called, pointing to the image of Max's team in Bellwood. "There's no way those guys could handle me."
"And I'm interested in the defenders out here." The man in the fourth highest throne stated, indicating Tokyo as the image changed. "Unlike in the other areas, their powers are almost exactly alike, more like that of other worlds. I want to know why when compared to the rest of the world.
"Very well." Xemnas sighed, leaning on his elbow. "Lexaeus, I want you to go here, to the mixture of creatures." He ordered, looking at the fifth highest throne as the image changed to a blue dragon flying in the sky. "It has the biggest number of fighters, not to mention the variety in races. It's our best bet at a large source of new Nobodies."
"I'd like to go too." Zexion added, never turning his concealed head from the images. "This group intrigues me. Besides, with so many potential threats in the area, it would probably be best for the extra security."
"As you wish." Xemnas nodded before sitting himself up straight, his form gaining a much more commanding air. "The meeting is adjourned. Those with orders, head out, the rest of you, keep an eye on things here. Make sure everything stays according to plan." With that, he jumped off his throne, landing deftly on his feet, and walked through a corridor of darkness he effortlessly created.
Eleven of the other members quickly followed suit, intent on succeeding in the plan as soon as possible. The blue eyed member however, just dropped to the ground. Taking one last look at the image of the seven flying away, the young Nobody, who, judging by height and body build, could only be around the sevens' age, opened his own door.
However, his power brought forth a door of light. Taking a step towards his creation, the hood fell back, revealing unruly blond hair, pale skin and worried, blue eyes to the world. As he finished his way into the light, only one thought crossed his mind.
I have to warn the seven. They're the only hope.
"Ok, we're fully aware of the capabilities of all the white Nobodies, but the Organisation is still a completely unknown variable." Gohan sighed, crossing his arms. The group had gone over everything they'd discovered about the opposing army, but despite their knowledge, they couldn't come up with a way to deal them all or their masters.
"Lets face it, the only way we have any chance of stopping this invasion is to do what we all came here to do: take down the organisation, despite knowing…nothing…about them. And it would help if we could actually reach them." Danny groaned. The others only nodded their heads tensely, wishing they could make it sound more possible.
Unable to think of anything worth contributing, Kim fiddled around with her suit nervously, her hands covering all the concealed equipment. As her hand touched her communicator, her head snapped up, and she smiled at her moment of inspiration.
"I have an idea." She called, getting the others' attention as she pulled the blue com device out and activated it. On screen, a young boy, around twelve, looking very dishevelled, appeared on her screen.
"Kim, the others probably won't last much longer. Have you had any luck at the castle?" He asked, failing to notice the group around her.
"No, it's well protected, even for the seven of us." She responded disappointedly as she moved the communicator so Wade could see the whole group. "That's why we need your help."
"You have Danny Phantom, one of the four Xiaolin monks, Ben Ten, Gwen the sorceress and two guys I've never seen before and you STILL need my help? Man, that castle must be worse then I thought." Wade cried incredulously, staring at the assortment of heroes in disbelief.
"You know some of them Wade?" Kim asked, not sure why she was surprised.
"How do you know about me and Gwen? That knowledge's suppose to only be found in the Plumbers' data base on Earth." Ben asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Eer, I ah, hehe, hacked into their systems once." Wade admitted nervously, earning a glare from the Tennyson cousins. "But enough on that right now, what do you need?"
"We need you to use your equipment and hacking skills to get us a map of the castle. Use a satellite, you know how." Kim answered, saving Wade from a verbal lashing. "Do whatever you have to to find us a safe way into the castle and an idea of it's inside structure."
"I'll try Kim, but with the major damage going on, the fact that this castle only just appeared in our world today and the distraction of the attacks here, it's going to take some time." He responded, giving her an apologetic look even as he started typing away. "I'll get back to you as soon as… what's going on here?" He cried, staring wide eyed at the screen in front of him and causing Kim and the others to tense. "There are three energy surges with the same energy signature as the light that brought in the castle, but smaller, in three different areas. Tokyo, New York and Bellwood."
"Bellwood's our home town. Grampa!" Ben cried, his eyes fill with panic.
"New York's my home. And my family's leading the army of magical creatures there." Jake yelled next, sharing Ben's expression.
"And my dad and the other Z Fighters are protecting Tokyo right now." Gohan added worriedly, though clearly not as freaked as the other two boys and Gwen. His team was really powerful, two of them were even stronger then him. He was really worried, but if anyone could walk away from it ok, they would.
"What could they possibly be up-" A group gasp interrupted Raimundo as each one of the seven clutched their heads, their eyes closed. Images simultaneously flashed through their minds, showing them the three locations, one at a time. Within the very middle of each location was a black, foreboding tower surrounded by Nobodies. Images of inside flashed through their heads next, revealing the shadowy creatures that the group assumed were another form of Heartless hiding within. Finally, the images finished outside each location again. However, this time, a cloaked and hooded figure, like Xemnas before he showed his face to the world, stood by the dark towers, the image of them and the tower sending shivers down each of the young heroes' spines..
"W-what was that?" Jake stuttered, letting out a deep breath as the images ended. "I don't know about you guys, but I've never had visions before."
"I don't know what that was exactly, but I'd say it's a warning." Rai groaned, rubbing his temples. The visions had managed to give him a headache. "They showed the three locations the spikes came from and I'm guessing what's happening there."
"Then we need to get back home." Gwen responded hastily, turning to Ben. "If Rai's right, an Organisation member's there and so are what have to be Heartless. We have to help Grampa."
"Wait." Gohan called just as Ben nodded and the cousins turned to go. "They'll expect you to go there if we were to find out and they'll be ready for you."
"And what would you have us do?" Ben cried angrily, whipping around to face the Japanese, part alien boy. "Abandon our home? Our family and friends?"
"Of course not." Gohan responded, giving Ben his most serious look. "I agree that we should head to these areas, destroy the towers and those in it and even hopefully take down a few of these Organisation 13 members while they're alone and vulnerable if the visions we all got were from an honourable source. I'm just saying we shouldn't go to our own homes."
"What do you mean?" Jake asked, not quite catching on.
"I say we split up into groups and destroy all three towers, but each person goes to where the Organisation wouldn't expect them too instead of their home towns where they'll be ready for us." Gohan answered, turning back to the others. "Don't get me wrong, I want to go home and make sure everyone I care about is safe too, but we have to play this smart. What do you guys say?"
"I'd have to agree with him Kim. See ya." Wade contributed before the screen went blank. Rolling her eyes at Wade's need to but in and run, she turned a smirk to Gohan.
"I'm in."
Getting nods from the others, some more reluctant then others, Gohan moved on with the plan.
"Ok, how about Kim and I go to Bellwood? Our combine skill and resources should be more then enough to tip the scale there." Gohan asked, his eyes scanning Ben and Gwen's faces in particular for approval.
"These other half aliens would be willing to help us right?" Kim asked the Tennysons. The pair simply nodded.
"Alright then. Since New York's got the biggest resistance, it'd be safe to say it possibly holds the most dangerous tower and Organisation member. So I think that Danny and the Tennysons should go there. Any objections?" Gohan continued, looking around for a rebuttal from the others.
"Sounds fine by me." Danny responded, giving the cousin's a smile.
"I always did want to go to New York." Gwen added, smiling slightly herself.
"Yeah yeah, city of fashion, just remember we're going to save the city from evil, not income." Ben smirk before squawking as Gwen hit the back of his head. "Hey!"
"Well, that leaves me and the dragon dude to help Tokyo." Rai called, bringing the conversation back on topic. Reaching into his pocket, Rai pulled out his means of quick transportation and shoved it on his hand. "Shall we go?"
"But how are we going to get to JAPAN in time to stop anything?" Jake asked uncertainly.
"With this, after I make some quick routes to the other places for the others." Rai responded cockily, waving the claws around.
"And how will that help?" Gwen asked sceptically, her facial expression in contrast to Kim's curious one. After all, the martial arts master had seen a couple of Rai's items do amazing things before and she was interested in what Rai had up his sleeve.
"By creating a magic portal." Rai smirked, raising his hand, ready to slash. "Golden tiger claws." The groups' eyes widened in awe at the resulting claw outlined vortex. Turning back to the group, Rai just smirked at their faces. "This one leads to New York. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vortex at all times."
"It's like a grey ghost portal." Danny exclaimed, the first to get over the shock. Used to this sort of phenomenon, the ghost boy walked straight through and disappeared before the group's eyes.
"Well, let's go." Gwen said, turning to look at Ben before stepping in, followed by her brunette cousin. Just as Ben stepped in, the portal closed.
"They're ok right?" Jake asked as the portal closed, the sudden occurrence making him nervous.
"Well, this opening's no longer needed. The other side will close as soon as they leave the vortex." Rai shrugged casually, raising his hand again. With another slash, a second vortex opened, this one leading to Bellwood. "All aboard."
Rolling her eyes, Kim lead a grinning Gohan through the vortex and off to the town once known as the most normal place on Earth.
"Ok, two down, one to go." Rai stated, readying himself for one final swipe. "Golden tiger claws." as soon as he finished, he grabbed a hesitant Jake by the arm and dragged him through the portal, smirking at the cry from Jake.
Stepping out of the vortex, Gohan and Kim's eyes widened at the sight before them. Like the visions they'd had, a dark tower stood in the very centre of the town. Like the castle, it was surrounded by Nobodies, though nowhere near as many. The desperate screams of hysterical civilians caught the duo's attention, and looking down at the bottom of the structure, they could vaguely make out people struggling as Nobodies dragged them through the tower's entrance.
"There are definitely Heartless in there." Gohan stated grimly, shivering despite the summer night warmth. "I can sense a number of soulless, malicious creatures inside the tower, and their numbers are increasing."
"Ok, so lets get to the tower and destroy it as quickly as possible." Kim responded, taking off at a run. Gohan quickly followed, choosing to stay on the ground for a better chance of taking them by surprise. "Nice, you can even keep up with my speed with the battle suit on the ground."
"I can run a lot faster then this." Gohan smirked, reminding Kim of Raimundo's most frequent expression.
"Ok superman, what's the plan?" Kim asked as she leapt effortlessly on and over a truck, Gohan right along side her.
"If I concentrate all my power into one blast, I should be able to destroy that eyesore." He responded, focusing some energy into his foot and making it flare with his yellow ki before using it to swipe a lone Nobody, cutting straight through it, without dropping his pace at all. "The problem is all the Nobodies in the area, not to mention the fact that if the visions we got were reliable, there's an Organisation member somewhere."
"Then lets get Ben and Gwen's friends to help us distract the army, destroy the Organisation guy and then take out the tower." Kim responded right before they stopped in their tracks. The pair glared heatedly at a group of ten Nobodies standing in their way as they shifted their bodies into battle stances.
"Sounds like a plan. Right after we deal with these guys." With that, Gohan charged in, creating a ki ball in his hand and throwing it from half way across the battlefield. The blast obliterated one Nobody and created a blanket of smoke, temporarily blinding the others. Taking advantage of their dilemma, Kim leapt in after her partner, a ferocious kick slamming into a confused pink legged Nobody. The blow caused it to fall right on another Nobody while Kim focused her suit's power into her hands and slammed her glowing fists into each of them as hard as she could, destroying both of them.
"After fighting an army, ten is just too easy." She stated as she flipped over white tentacles coming out of the ground before grabbing them and pulling the offending Nobody into the open. With a grunt, she spun it around her, knocking away another charging foe before letting go, letting it fly into a third.
"Yeah, but don't get cocky, the real battle hasn't even begun yet." Gohan cautioned, ploughing his elbow into a scythe wielder. Taking into the air, Gohan cupped his hands at his side, glaring at three approaching Nobodies. "Ka Ma." He growled, a ball of blue energy forming in his hands. "Ha Ma HA!" With a mighty roar, he thrust his hands forward, releasing a big and powerful blue, cylindrical beam right into the path of the Nobodies. The blast consumed them, as well as the two Kim had sent flying moments before and incinerated them within seconds.
Kim took a moment to stare in awe at the display of power. She'd seen a lot in her line of work, but that was strongest thing she'd ever seen. Even Danny's blasts weren't that strong.
The soft pounding behind her snapped her out of it and she jumped into a back flip just as the remaining dragon like Nobody attempted to skewer her. Spinning in midair, she landed a glowing boot squarely on the side of it's head, the creature picking up dust when it hit the ground. She then spun and used an open palm to knock away the scythe coming down behind her before grabbing it and launching a kick to it's bearer's gut, causing it to release it's instrument of death.
"Lets see how you like cold steel. Or whatever this is." Kim growled, testing the scythe's weight. Spinning on her heel again, the teenage heroine spun the blade straight into the centre of the rising dragon Nobody, destroying him in a flash of light, before swinging it back around to catch the weapon's staggering owner. With one final flash of light, the last Nobody, and it's weapon, disappeared.
"Well, that went well." Gohan commented, using his senses to make sure no more were in the area. As soon as he finished, he widened his range. He raised his eyebrow when he picked a variety of unusual energy signatures, all of them feeling as if they were drained. Focusing a little harder on them, he noticed that they all had the feeling of differently altered humans, as if they were…
"Half breeds." He whispered in realisation. "Well duh, they're half alien like me."
"What is it?" Kim asked warily, thrown back on edge by the look Gohan had been sporting before.
"I found Ben's friends, but I don't think they'll be much help." Gohan sighed disappointedly, turning to face Kim. "They're all really low on energy right now."
"Then we'll just have to sneak up and blow the tower sky high before they see us." Kim responded, a serious expression covering her face. "With or without their help, that tower has to go down and so does the Organisation guy guarding it."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go." Gohan nodded. Without another word, they took off again towards the dark tower, careful to avoid the areas containing Nobodies using Gohan's sensing ability.
Finally reaching the tower, the heroes held back and observed their obstacles, determined not to be forced back before the job was done.
"The surrounding Nobodies are randomly gathered, but they shouldn't be too difficult to handle." Kim stated confidently, itching to get in and fight again.
"The problem is that once the action starts, the rest of the army scattered around the town could come running." Gohan argued, glaring at a group of Nobodies carrying more terrified people into the tower.
"Trust me, that'll be the least of your worries." Both pairs of eyes widened as the duo's instincts caused them to jump away from the cruel, feminine voice behind them just as two shots of electricity hit where they'd been crouching. Turning to face the voice, they found a cloaked figure laughing manically, arms outstretched with each hand holding three daggers between the fingers.
"I was wondering where the Organisation member around here was." Gohan growled as his aura flared around him, showing the others that he was powering up.
"You knew I was here? I have no idea how you'd know, or get here so quickly, but I don't really care." The figure said nonchalantly, waving her hands up uncaringly. "I'm just glad that I get to be the one to defeat you."
"Who do you think you are? There's no way we'll lose to you" Kim growled, shifting into an offensive stance, ready to pounce at the obviously annoying woman before her.
Chuckling in that same cruel tone, the figure lowered her hood, revealing pale skin, strong, green eyes and shoulder length, slicked back, blonde hair with two strands sticking up like an insect's antennas.
"I'm Larxene, number twelve and the only girl in the organisation. Now, are you ready to fall?" She asked, a cold smile crossing her lips.
"Bring it on blonde." Kim smirked.
Kim and Gohan both back flipped away a moment later, narrowly dodging the six daggers that imbedded themselves in the ground where they'd stood only a second before.
Getting back to her feet, Kim charged head on at the cackling. She threw a right hook, only for Larxene to dodge it as if it was nothing and retaliate with a kick to the gut.
"Argh!" She gasped, holding her gut and stepping back, completely winded. Larxene looked at her right in the face and smirked as her hand cackled with electricity, ready to fry the red head. However, just as she was about to release the shot, Gohan appeared faster then the eye could see and landed the blow Kim had tried. The clap of his fist meeting her face echoed as she flew back with scream, more in rage then pain, into and through a wall with a bang.
"Are you ok?" Gohan asked worriedly as he turned back to his partner, holding her steady as she regained her breath.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, pulling away, before turning back to the rising Larxene with rage burning in her eyes. "But she's not."
Running at Larxene again, Kim's feet glowed blue as she leapt into the air and pulled herself into a spin. Turning up, Larxene caught sight of her just as her foot landed on the cloaked woman's chest. Larxene staggered back, but quickly recovered, lashing out with a left hook, only for it to be blocked by Kim before dodging a swinging elbow.
Gohan held back, afraid to hurt Kim as the girls continued to trade blows at speeds impossible for most humans.
Scowling an annoyance as Kim launched another flurry of punches, Larxene threw her open hand out and released a lightning bolt, flinging a screaming, electrified Kim far away.
"KIM!" Gohan screamed, his terrified eyes following her until she finally landed with a thud and a pained moan, electricity still visibly coursing through her body.
"GRR!" With an animalistic growl, Gohan left the ground with a power burst of wind, surging straight at Larxene faster then most eyes could possibly see. However, a second before Gohan could land a punch, a dome of electricity surrounded Larxene. Gohan cried in agony as his body struck the field, all the lightning moving from around it's creator and at him, increasing the shock's strength every second.
"How pathetic. You thought you were fast enough t touch me." Larxene taunted over his screaming, keeping her power active as she summoned her knives to her hands in a flash of lightning. "Too bad for you I can see as fast as my element moves." With that, she thrust her hands forward and the lightning pushed him away, slamming into the dirt, this crying out in pain as electricity cackled all over his body, exactly like Kim's had.
"This is the best that you can do?" Larxene smirked, staring over the battlefield. The electrical current had final stopped covering Kim, but she was still breathing raggedly and didn't look like she was getting up anytime soon. Not far from her, Gohan was constantly twitching, choked moans leaving his throat. Lazily toying with her daggers, Larxene slowly walked towards them, her smirk looking crueller by the second. "Xemnas was beyond impressed by you and your buddies near the castle, especially seeing as you beat our greatest Heartless, and here I go and beat you with ease. I was expecting a more amusing fight." Kim's eyes flickered to Gohan as Larxene approached her, before turning pathetically to the cloaked woman. Reaching her prey, the blonde Nobody grabbed Kim by the collar and pulled her up off her feet with one hand, her smirk turning into a sneer. "All well. I'll just give you to the Heartless and see if he's right about your potential Nobodies."
"Sorry, I don't feel like joining the gang." Larxene's eyes widened in shock, her replaced by an open jaw as Kim went from looking pathetic and beaten to her usually feisty and stubborn self a split second before kicking Larxene's free wrist, causing her to drop her daggers and followed it by landing both feet into her gut hard.
Gasping for breath, Larxene dropped Kim and backed away, bent over in pain. She raised her head to give Kim and enraged scowl, her eyes widened again as Kim rushed toward her. Grabbing her arms, Kim spun Larxene around her before giving her a mighty toss into the air.
Before Larxene could hit the ground, Gohan appeared in the air along her flight path and spin kick her in the side, altering her flight path down to the ground to his left at even greater speed. With a pain filled cry, Larxene ploughed into the ground, creating a small crater with her body.
Her body shaking with pain, an infuriated Larxene slowly rose from the ground just as two smirking heroes gathered near the crater, both in fighting stances with Kim holding Larxene's daggers.
"How DARE you!" Larxene roared, spitting out blood. With an animalistic scream, she thrust her hands out again, sending the biggest lightning bolt yet at the instigators of her rage.
However, having foreseen that move, Kim raised her hands at the same time and created a blue energy shield. The electrical attack hit the bubble, but did nothing to it whatsoever.
"We figured out your lightning made you too dangerous alone." Gohan smirked down at the furious Nobody as she screamed in anger at the failure her attack was.
"But when we fight together, you're no big." Kim finished, letting the shield fall. quickly taking aim, she threw Larxene's weapon straight at her.
Moving as quickly as her element, despite her rage, Larxene easily dodged her daggers, only to find a strange, brown shoe planted firmly on her cheek, before a white fist hit her with an uppercut, off her feet and onto the ground half a meter back.
"ARGH!" Screaming, Larxene created a dome of lightning around herself, causing her opponents to take a step back, and summoned her daggers to her again as she stood up, fire burning in her eyes. "I'm going to KILL YOU!" throwing her hands towards them, streams of lightning surged from all six daggers.
"Whoa." Gohan cried, grabbing Kim and taking off in a blur, barely dodging the wildfire bolts. "We can't let this go on. She's far to dangerous." He stated angrily as he hovered above the battlefield.
"And how do propose we end this?" Kim asked, watching as the lightning finally settled down.
"You hit her up high, I'll blast her back down." Gohan answered, bringing a smirk to Kim's face.
"Spankin. Lets do it." With that, Gohan let Kim go, letting her fall to the ground. His aura flaring again, he focused his energy, ready for the big bang.
Kim landed gracefully on her feet, a great benefit of her years as a cheerleader, and dived to the side and somersaulting back to her feet, effectively dodging another lightning bolt.
"I've had it with you." Larxene growled, throwing another bolt at Kim's charging form.
"The feeling's mutual." Kim grunted, raising her hand. Instead of dodging again, she transformed the suit's glove into something resembling a scooper and aimed it straight into the electricity's path, not slowing her pace even slightly. Scooping up the lightning, she flung it back at it's caster, leaving Larxene in wide eyed shock as the blast hit her. Thanks to her natural control over the element, the blast didn't hurt much, but it was more then enough to force her a few steps back and lose control of her body momentarily as it twitched and spasm from the overload, her eyes closed tight. It gave Kim all the time she needed to reach her foe.
"Hiya!" Kim delivered a serious right hook and followed it up with a kick to the ribs, halting the stumbling the first shot had caused, before grabbing Larxene's shoulders and tossing her into the air. Focusing all the available power in her suit to her hands and feet, Kim clasped hands an jumped into the air after the electrical pain. As soon as she reached Larxene's altitude, she spun her body around and with a grunt, threw all her strength into ploughing Larxene in the small of her back with her clasped fists, eliciting a loud scream from her target as she soared high into the air.
"Say bye, bye." Gohan growled. Opening her eyes, Larxene came face to face with a powered up Gohan creating a very large ball of blue energy before her.
"NO!" She screamed, what little she could feel giving her nothing but fear as she stared at the object of her doom.
"Ka Ma Ha Ma HA!" Gohan roared, thrusting the biggest blast he'd ever made straight at the Nobody.
Determined to live, Larxene aligned all six of her daggers and shot a massive lightning bolt at the beam. It collided, but only held the blast back by half a second before it was on it's way again and completely consumed and passed the screaming Larxene. Her screams were heard only for a moment after the blast encompassed her before silencing, her shadowy form seen through the blue walls of the beam fading along with it.
However, the blast didn't stop with Larxene. Twisting his hands slightly, Gohan redirected the kamahamaha wave straight to the tower and hit it dead on. Not a minute later, the entire tower blew up in a giant burst of dark energy, along with all the Heartless held within.
At the Plumbers' base, Max stared at the main screen, watching the whole battle. The high levels of energy had been detected and Max and his weary team had watched the whole thing.
A loud cheer went through the whole structure as the cloaked woman and the tower ceased to exist as the kids celebrated the Earth's victory, reenergised by the sight. Turning from the screen to the assortment of half aliens, Max smiled, both at the blow dealt to the Nobodies and the restoration of his team's morale.
"Come on guys, we have a battle to get back to."
The teens nodded confidently before heading back towards the entrance, ready to get back out there and take the threat down and out of Bellwood.
Kim sighed in relief as the tower went up in a blast of blue and black and let her body sag, hurt and tired after such a vicious fight. "We did it."
"Yep, we did." Gohan responded proudly, giving her the goofy grin he'd inherited from his father. Looking out over the town however, he lost the grin, fully aware that though their victory really hurt the organisation, especially with one of their own members gone, it would only slow them down and probably not even do that for long. Sighing at the depressing thought, he lowered himself in front of Kim, his back to her.
"Come on, we need to get back to the castle and find a way to deal with it." He responded to her raised eyebrow, motioning for her to hop on. Her expression turning serious, she nodded and hopped on his back. Making sure she had a secure hold, Gohan's aura flared around him again and he took off. Back to whence they came.
Thank God mum made me read all those geography books.
