S.u.p.e.r.O.u.p.a: Da da da da! Finally I have updated. It is very hard work of thinking how an insane Sora will act sometimes. But the stroke of genius from my muse has helped me. So without further ado enjoy this chapter of Dark Kingdom.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Previously…
"I should get someone to work with…to get my revenge done faster." he mumbled before blinking as a shadow blocked his sun. "..What are you doing here, keyblade wielder?" a deep voice said with a questioning tone. Sora blinked and quickly turned around to see who it was…
"Sephiroth? Surprising to see you here." Sora said as he looked at the sliver haired man who was as deadly as he looked. It was not't surprising that he would see him here. But why was he talking to him of all people? Then again, he did not't have time for distractions. Standing, the key blade wielder secured his Kingdom Key onto his hip. He could still feel the dark angel's eyes on him. It did unnerve him for a moment.
Sephiroth stayed silent as he glanced at Sora's movements. There were different from what he had seen. The judicious key blade wielder he could remember was naïve and friendly. The feelings that he got from him now was darkness and the thirst for blood. It reminded him almost of himself. It made him wonder what had happened to the boy that had made him change so much. "You hold the aura of an insane man, boy." he said simply, not caring being addressed in such a way.
Sora blinked and looked up at Sephiroth. Insane? He could not't be insane. The only thing he wanted was revenge. Maybe he was a bit brutal and unforgiving now but insane? He scoffed and crossed his arms. A sneer was on his face as he narrowed his eyes at him. "I am not insane! Not insane at all!" he said before starting to pace. Sora started to talk to himself under his breath as he paced. A gleam of maliciousness was in Sora's eyes as he did this.
"………" Sephiroth just watched in silence and frowned. He was now sure that Sora did not know that he was losing his mind. It was easy to tell that the darkness was attracted to him and was taking full advantage of Sora. But, Sora was able to act on his own. He was not't a Heartless so he still had to care for something. He waited until Sora sat on the ground, sitting while rocking back and forth. "Keyblade wielder. I have a proposal for you." he said simply.
Sora stopped his mutterings and stopped rocking. He gripped his hood but listened to Sephiroth. "I will help you on your little quest. But you have to help me with something." he said simply. "What…What is it?" was the reply that given. "A slave. Simple as that." Sora let his grip loosen on his hood as he closed his eyes. A slave? How was he going to get a slave? He thought about it before smirking. He had the perfect person.
He stood and outstretched a hand towards Sephiroth. "Deal. I'll get your slave and you'll help me with my revenge." he said. Sephiroth nodded before holding his place as Sora tried to jerk him forward. He did not't enjoy being manhandled. In a swift movement, the dark angel grabbed Sora by the hood and dragged him behind him. Sora growled in annoyance at being pulled and struggled against Sephiroth's grip. Unfortunately, Sora was still weak. He could not't even get away from Sephiroth. If he could not't at least pull away from Sephiroth, how could he defeat King Mickey and the others? Maybe if he played his cards right, he could get the elite of the two to train him.
This way Sora would be even stronger than Riku and maybe even King Mickey. He could see it all now. The key blade being used for the bloodshed of his friends instead of the so called light. The wielder doubted that he even was the 'key' anymore. It was a doubt but the key blade was still with him so it still regarded him as the sacred key. Sora was not the key to peace anymore but the key to a world filled with darkness and eternal madness. A world of endless and mindless murder and bloodshed.
As Sora thought about this, laughter left his lips in a cackle. Sephiroth had seen the Gummi Ship he had in. He could heard the conversation that Sora was having with himself and did not to have no part of it. In a way, he was like Sora but not so far gone. The fallen angel still had a sliver of sanity and common sense. Not the one for pointless bloodshed, Sephiroth felt that he was there for a reason but ones he did not acknowledge at the moment. Once he heard the maddened cackle, he sighed and ignored the boy he had made a deal with.
In his mind, at least he was getting what he wanted and would be able to see a battle. Battles of any kind that he did or did not partake in made him feel alive. The brutal attacks and the dirty tactics made it all the better. Leaving the Diamond Cliffs and entering Villain's Vale, he saw the dark colored Gummi Ship. It intrigued him still to see such a dark Gummi Ship. Usually the flying ships were bright and easy to see from a far distance. Up close, the colors were so bright that it would hurt the eyes.
This Gummi Ship in particular made him feel content for some reason. The hostility that he usually kept inside was strangely gone for a moment. The hatch opened once he got close enough to get inside. He dropped Sora and flexed his fingers. Sora had stopped cackling and cursed once his head hit the ground. That unwarned drop had hurt. "Bastard. We'll take this around each world to see my 'friends' are there. How will you be helping in this situation?" he asked as he started to go inside the Gummi Ship.
"I am stronger and more cunning than you, boy. I do not have to specify how I will aid you but I said I shall aid so that is what I will do." Sephiroth said simply as he followed behind Sora. He had to admit that he was glad that he was not't quick to trust. Sora nodded and accepted the answer. As long as he was getting some form of a shaky alliance, he did not't care for anything else. Once he dropped the cloak in the empty chair, the usual pilot of the Gummi Ship woke up. He had curled up in a chair and fallen asleep at the controls.
"Vatari. I'm surprised that you did not't run! Another day I haven't had to rip off your limbs and burn them while doing a little dance around them!" Sora said in a happy tone as he grinned. Vatari stayed silent as he looked away, rubbing his eyes. He really did not feel like talking to the guy who threatened him every time he saw him. Blinking a few times, he realized the taller man that had came in with Sora. The look he was given made him feel small and insignificant. Sora sat cross legged in the chair as he put his cloak in his lap. He grinned at Sephiroth who only stared at him blankly.
The insane boy used his key blade to pull Vatari's chair to him. His hand shot up to his neck and quickly held the so called acquaintance in place. Vatari coughed and hesitated on struggling as the grip cut off his breathing. "Here you go. One slave. Not as pretty as Yuffie or maybe the bitch Kairi who was my so called friend but still kind of pretty." Sora said simply as the smile widened. 'Slave?'Vatari thought before punching Sora in the face. It had been able to catch the key blade wielder off guard.
"I am not a slave." Vatari coughed out as he quickly strung his bow. Sephiroth watched and noticed the stunned look on Sora's face. It would be good to have a slave that could defend himself. He quickly approached Vatari but was surprised when an arrow grazed his cheek. A thin cut was now across his cheek as the arrow embedded itself in the wall behind him. "Stay away." The precision of the arrow impressed the two males that made an alliance. Sora launched out the chair and knocked Vatari off balance. He was not't able to pin him down without getting a wound.
Two arrows were now stuck in his shoulders and blood was seeping onto the sleeves of his shirt. It trickled down his arms onto the floor. The bow and quiver of arrows were thrown on the other side of the room. "Your going to listen! I need revenge and if I don't get it...I'll kill you. Understand? Every day shall be mine until I get my revenge!" Sora shouted as a look of anger stayed on his face. It was easy to tell he was angry but he also looked disturbed. He slammed the other male underneath him into the floor repeatedly once again like before.
Blood splashed onto his face from Vatari's mouth as a pool of blood started to spread under the two. Sephiroth watched for a few minutes before seeing that if Sora did not stop soon that he would kill his part of the deal. He walked over and easily pulled him off of Vatari. Sora thrashed around in Sephiroth's grip as he tried to get away. He kept squirming but was forced down into his seat by the taller male. Vatari turned onto his side and threw up blood onto the once clean floor. The back of his shirt and part of the front was drenched in blood.
It took him a while to get up as he grabbed his blanket to soak up the blood. "W-Where…do you wish to go?" the injured male asked as he got up to the controls. He wiped his hands so not to get blood on the control panel while starting up the ship. Sephiroth stood on the wall, glancing out the window as they left the Bastion. Sora was growling in annoyance but started to think. He had the need to kill coursing through him but he need more power. "Fly to…hm…The Coliseum. I need to see a few more things." he said with a small chuckle.
Sephiroth looked at Sora and stayed silent. He thought it was strange to see someone who was cunning and insane at the same time. It made him think of himself except he had infinite logic. Killing people for revenge was not't him since he did not't have anyone close like Sora did. He was only in the deal to watch good bloody battles and Sora got down in the process. "Dare I ask to why we are going there?" Sephiroth said blankly, noticing the stars in the sky as they flew. Sora glanced at looked at Sephiroth and grinned widely. He put his hands in his lap and sighed loudly. "I need more Keyblades and I need training. Its bee a whole two years or something that I haven't fought. People tend to get rusty, y'know." he explained.
He blinked and could have sworn he saw the silver haired man smirk darkly at him. But as soon as he saw it, it was gone. That confused Sora and made a flutter of fear go through him. It made him rethink this so called alliance between them. Something in his head told him that Sephiroth would betray him easily. Blue eyes that were once bright and filled with innocence were now dark and filled with madness and blood lust. He looked at the floor and let his mind go blank.
The Coliseum would be so an enjoyable experience and he would be sure to take full advantage of it. He could invent ways of torturing his friends in the way that would make him laugh. Speaking of torture, he immediately thought of Roxas. A small pang of guilt hit him but he brushed it off. 'He was talking too much..he tried to mess my plan up. I did the right thing.' he thought before holding his head once more. Sora started to rock back and forth like he did when he broke down in front of Sephiroth. The muttering to himself started once again.
Unblinking, Sephiroth strode over to Sora and put him in a corner of the room. He personally did not't want to hear him talk to himself. He was better off without it. The one thing he wanted to get close to was their destination.
S.u.p.e.r.O.u.p.a: Yep. Sora can sure be a handful when he wants to. Watch out for the next chapter of Dark Kingdom and see if Sora won;t get a surprise was not't expecting. Is it one of his friends or someone else who would help him on his revenge quest?
