AN: Sorry for taking so long to upload. This part has been hard to write because it's one big fight, and I really didn't know how to handle it but I did the best I could so I hope it doesn't disappoint.
They were surrounded. Seven of their deadliest foes all around. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were trapped. They were completely duped by Hades's trick. But Sora wasn't about to give up that easily. He looked at Donald and Goofy and they nodded. Sora nodded back and all at once, they made their move.
Sora leaped into the air and kicked Seifer right in the face. Seifer let out a girlish shriek and fired a blast from his Gunblade into the air. The bullet hit a statue up above, shattering it into rubble. The rubble poured down on top of Thailog and crushed the Gargoyle clone.
At the same time, Donald cast a thunder spell on the Sentinel. The electricity temporarily put it on the fritz for a few precious moments. And Goofy hurled his shield straight at Pete, nailing the brute right in the glass jaw. Disoriented, Pete stumbled and fell on top of Kefka.
"Run!" Sora yelled to his friends and the three of the ran out of the gate, just narrowly missing a fireball from Hades.
"GET UP YOU NEANDERTHALS!" Hades yelled, turning red with anger, "Destroy the town if you have to, but kill that blasted kid before he can get reinforcements!"
The Final Words stumbled to their feet and ran after the trio through the gate. Maleficent and Hades stayed on their perch and watched them run out. When the crowd of villains passed the Gummi ship, Thailog used his laser canon to destroy the ship's rockets.
The trio ran down the Restoration Site, all of the construction equipment left empty. Sora surmised that the workers must be on lunch break. Just then, a laser shot landed next to them, narrowly missing Donald. They turned around to see Thailog flying above them, laser canon in hand.
"Force!" Donald yelled and at that moment, a swirling sphere of black energy enveloped Thailog and pulled him down to the ground, knocking him unconscious.
The trio continued to run away and finally made it to the Bailey. As they ran up the newly repaired staircase, Goofy suddenly froze where he was. Kefka turned visible in front of them.
"Stop magic," Kefka chuckled, "This fall's must have."
As Kefka went to cast another spell on the others, Goofy, as if awakening from a sleep, came back to life and slammed his shield right into Kefka's face, knocking the clown unconscious. The trio continued their run into the town, only to find Pete, Seifer, and the Sentinel ready to head them off.
They six foes paired off. Goofy took on Pete. Donald went toe to toe with the Sentinel. And Sora crossed blades with Seifer. Despite being something of a coward, Seifer was certainly not lacking in his fencing ability as he was able to block Sora's every move and came very close to slicing Sora more than once. Sora figured that he must have been enhanced by Maleficent's magic.
Goofy and Pete went way back. They had been next door neighbors before Goofy had become the captain of the guards. They knew each other well. Pete was well prepared for Goofy's shield this time. Blocking his every attack with a force field yet still managing to hurl exploding bowling balls Goofy's way made him a dangerous opponent.
Donald's duel with the Sentinel went with a basic pattern: dodge laser, cast thunder, dodge laser, and so on. After several minutes, the trio realized something: they were too evenly matched for their opponent. With a subtle gesture, Sora signaled to the party and they swapped their opponents. Sora took the Sentinel, Goofy took Seifer, and Donald took Pete.
With a thunder raid, Sora hurled his Keyblade at the Sentinel, taking its head clean off. Seifer's swordsmanship amounted to nothing against Goofy. Protected by his shield, Seifer couldn't land a hit. And after a tornado move, Seifer was out cold. Pete's exploding bowling balls, while a dangerous weapon for Pete also proved to be a dangerous weapon for Donald. With a reflect spell, Donald sent Pete's bowling ball right back at him, sending the baddy flying back into a brick wall from the explosion.
Maleficent and Hades watched from the castle.
"Hmm, my Final Words team isn't performing as I'd hoped," Hades said.
"They've all been taken out!" Maleficent shouted.
"I believe it's up to us, babe," Hades replied.
The trio raced to Merlin's house to get the Restoration Committee but just before they could get to the door, a large circle of flames surrounded them. Hades and Maleficent appeared before them.
"You go nowhere, kid," Hades spat.
Sora, Donald, and Goody drew their weapons and prepared for the fight of their lives. They were hot and cold at the same time. Maleficent practically radiated chill while Hades and his flaming circle made things almost unbearably hot. Sora couldn't figure out how Hades and Maleficent stood each others' temperatures.
Just as Maleficent looked as though she was going to scratch Sora's eyes out, a watery mist suddenly descended upon them, extinguishing the circle of flames as well as Hades hair, much to the trio's amusement.
"Need a hand?" Merlin chuckled as he appeared from the mist. Leon, Yuffie, Cid, Cloud, Tifa, and even Stitch joined Merlin and formed a circle around them where the fire was. Each member of the Restoration Committee had their weapons aimed directly for Hades and Maleficent.
For a moment, Sora though he saw a twinge of fear in Maleficent, something he had never seen the normally cool and collected sorceress do. Hades also looked slightly nervous, but, being a god, had much less to loose than the sorceress.
"Nobody move!" a voice yelled from off to the side.
Over there stood Kefka and Thailog holding Aerith at gunpoint. The clown wore a sadistic grin and Sora could see the confidence flowing back into Maleficent and Hades's faces.
"Or the little flower girl gets a laser through her head!" Kefka cackled insanely and terror ran through Sora's spine.
