Chapter 8
Surprise within the sands"Tell me," said Sephiroth "where exactly are we going?" Sephiroth was curious about the other worlds now. He wanted to know all he can about them.
"We are going to the world of Agrabah," replied Sora. Sora then turned his head towards Sephiroth and looked at him "we are looking at other worlds to see how bad they have been infected by the Heartless. Then we go to Hollow Bastion to deal with Ansem and seal the final keyhole". Sephiroth was familiar with the concept of Sora sealing giant keyholes with his Keyblade, but he was still slightly puzzled at how the Heartless could destroy a world by killing the heart of it.
"We're here!" Donald yelled to the others and Sephiroth and Sora looked out the cockpit window to see a strange looking world. Sephiroth never expected to see a world that was all basically sand and rock. As they got closer he noticed that there was a city surrounded by a huge wall that towered above all the buildings except for the huge towering building that Sephiroth decided must be either a palace or a huge temple.
"I hope that Aladdin is still around," said Sora "that way we can find him and he could tell us what is happening here." Sephiroth became curious about this Aladdin. Who is he? How would Sora know him? Sephiroth decided to keep his questions to himself as the ship started to land outside the huge city. As the travellers got out of the ship Sephiroth noticed the gates to the city were left wide open with no one around.
"Let's go find Aladdin!" Yelled out Donald. The travellers walked past the gates and into the city. As they walked a fair distance from the gate, the area around them was suddenly filled with Heartless. The travellers drew their weapons and fought them off. Sephiroth took not of the Heartless and noticed that they looked different to the ones they had fought on Traverse Town. Most of the Heartless looked like deadly bandits with turbans around their heads covering their entire face save for two piercing yellow eyes that searched for fresh hearts to devour. The remainder of the Heartless however was a lot larger and fatter; this Heartless stood taller than Sephiroth by a considerable distance and were quite quick for their size. But there was one thing that most of these Heartless that he encountered; they possessed a strange marking, it was like a black heart shape with outlines of red that made the border of the shape as well as a strange form of a cross through it.
As Sephiroth approached the fat one he noticed that it was leaning backwards breathing in.
'What is this one up to?' Sephiroth thought to himself as he watched and prepared himself for what could happen. The Heartless then leaned forward and unleashed a huge wall of fire waiting to burn the one winged warrior but Sephiroth easily leapt high over the Heartless and landed behind it and waited for the fire to stop. Just as Sephiroth expected the Heartless stopped and turned around to find Sephiroth but only saw a small flash of light followed only by a single black feather floating towards the ground.
'Now to finish it off' Sephiroth thought to himself as he appeared from behind the Heartless and with a single sword stroke of Masamune the Heartless was cleaved into two before it faded into nothing.
"Not bad Sephiroth," said Sora "I think we should find Aladdin now." The travellers soon reached an old building that had two ways of getting in. one way was through the window a fair way up while Sora, Donald and Goofy chose the second way; up a long pole that goes from the ground up into the building. After the three had finished climbing only Sephiroth was left on the ground but that was soon changed as he leapt high enough to land inside the room where the others were. When Sephiroth landed on his feet he looked up and noticed that Sora was talking to one of the most bizarre things he has ever seen, a moving rug that cannot talk but make gestures like a human using two of the tassels on two corners like hands.
"Carpet here wants us to ride on him to take us to Aladdin," Sora said to Sephiroth "I think Aladdin might be in trouble".
"Then let us find him" was Sephiroths' reply and they went on the carpet and held on tightly as strong as they can as it sped off out of the huge gaping window of the building and past the gates out into the burning, endless desert.
'I wonder if the Heartless have something to do with this Aladdin's trouble?' Sephiroth thought to himself but movement up ahead of him caught his eye as he saw something huge rising from the sands at extreme speed. The thing tried to reach out and grab the carpet with it's cargo on it with long, metal hands but barely missed as the carpet evaded them and went around the thing once then tried to go over it and the carpet was barely scratched on its rear end by two huge menacing swords that looked like a half moon each. The travellers were flying away from the creature until they noticed huge towering pillars rising from the sands below. The travellers were soon knocked off their rug for a steed as they collided with a somewhat invisible barrier and each of them and softly on the sands. Sephiroth got up first and looked over to where he could see a huge mass lumbering towards him. Sephiroth looked at it up and down until he noticed a strange marking, one that he recognised easily as he saw it not long ago.
'That's the mark of the Heartless,' Sephiroth thought to himself 'this thing will be interesting to take down' Sephiroth slightly smirked at that thought. It has been a while since he had a decent challenge since the Coliseum. Sephiroth soon drew most of his attention to Sora and his friends and he saw that they got up and drew their weapons.
"Hey!" yelled a voice "what kept you so long?" Sephiroth turned around to see a boy with black hair and with rags for clothing. He was armed with a curved sword that he held in his right hand and his face showed that he has been fighting the huge creature that is coming towards them.
"Aladdin!" yelled Sora "glad to see that you're still alive, what is this thing here?"
"That is a Heartless," Said Aladdin "that thing is incredibly strong and fast. I think it's only been toying with me when I fought it. We need to stop it before it reaches the city!"
"That we can do," said Sephiroth "even though it is strong we still have numbers against him. We will need to work together to defeat this thing."
"And you are?" asked Aladdin
"His name is Sephiroth," said Sora "he is here to help us. Now let's go!" and the warriors rushed forward to attack the giant Heartless.
Donald was the first to attack as he pointed his staff at it
"Firaga!" commended Donald but nothing happened "Blizzaga!" he yelled but to no avail. Sephiroth looked at the Heartless and took note that it had six arms with two holding a sword each while two were holding a pink orb in each hand.
'I wonder' thought Sephiroth as he drew Masamune and went into attack. The Heartless saw Sephiroth moving and swung it's two menacing swords at him but Sephiroth managed two parry them aside and struck on of the orbs and it shattered easily. Sora saw this and went in to strike the other orb and managed to hit it and the other orb broke apart as well.
"If this does not work one more time, I'm gonna break this damn wand!" yelled out Donald and he pointed his staff at the Heartless one more time "Thundaga!" he yelled and then suddenly the sky above went black and then before anyone could react a group of lightning bolts came from the skies and crashed down onto the Heartless, sending it back a few steps.
"Alright!" yelled Sora as the Heartless lost its balance and fell over onto it's back. Aladdin then went in to try and strike the final blow but the Heartless saw it coming and before Aladdin could hit it its snake like head sprung out and collided his Aladdin's head causing him to soar a fair distance away before landing on the sand and falling into unconsciousness.
"Aladdin!" cried out Donald but Sephiroth was barely fazed by the sudden boys defeat. The remaining warriors looked as they saw the Heartless get up and cast a barrier around itself. Sephiroth took note of the way the Heartless waved its arms and then saw what was about to happen.
"Be careful," said Sephiroth "it is about to cast an attack" and just as Sephiroth expected the Heartless made a strange movement and the group noticed several things moving along the ground and had their weapons ready to defend themselves. Sora turned to look behind and he saw that a huge blue and violet sphere had rose from the sands and is rushing towards him. Sora was flung back as the orb exploded from Sora raising his Keyblade in time to block it. Sephiroth saw two spheres heading towards him and he leapt away from them but Donald and Goofy were not so lucky as they both got hit from spheres approaching them from behind and they both met the same fate as Aladdin, falling into the world of unconsciousness.
When Sephiroth looked around to find Sora he saw that Sora was raising his Keyblade above himself. There were cuts and bruises all around the boy that Sephiroth can see.
"Curaga!" the boy yelled as a green and white light surrounded him and when the light faded the boys' injuries had vanished.
"I guess it's just us now huh?" said Sora to Sephiroth
"I guess it is" replied Sephiroth as his eyes locked on to the huge Heartless hovering above the ground with the barrier still around him. "I'll deal with the barrier," said Sephiroth "and you knock him down with a magic attack, got it?"
"got it!" said Sora and the two strode towards the Heartless and then the two surrounded it.
"Sin Harvest Angel!" commanded Sephiroth as he began to cast his deadly spell. When the spell was completed the result was as Sephiroth expected to be; only the barrier was weakened considerably but it was still intact.
"Firaga!" yelled Sora as he launched a fireball at the Heartless and the barrier shattered like glass then faded away. The Heartless was once again on it's back and Sephiroth went in to strike it and the head rushed out with a long neck to attack but Sephiroth disappeared in a flash of light leaving a few feathers behind and then appearing beside the head and Sephiroth swung Masamune at it and a huge gash was formed on the face of the Heartless. The blow had caused the Heartless to be blind in the right eye.
Sephiroth and Sora leaped back away from the Heartless as it got up and roared with agony as it felt the injury that Sephiroth gave it.
"Sora," said Sephiroth "it's going to focus mainly on me now so I want you to run over to the others and heal them. I have an Idea of what it's going to do". Sora knew better than to argue with Sephiroth since Sora knew that he was a successful General during the war on his world.
"ok" said Sora and nodded in agreement then turned to find the others. Sephiroth kept his gaze fixed upon the Heartless as it did the same thing for him. It did not see Sora run off since he was blind and fortunately Sora ran around its right side. The Heartless roared as it jumped towards Sephiroth swinging its two huge swords at him but Sephiroth swerved easily to avoid them and then struck one of it's arms and hit one that held nothing in it and the Heartless once again experienced pain. Sephiroth then saw that the Heartless once again had two pink orbs in its hands and Sephiroth then struck one and it shattered into nothing then he leapt away from the Heartless. Sephiroth then saw the Heartless then do the most unexpected thing. It suddenly rose up and started to spin around continuously. The way it uses its swords it looked like a circular shuriken and then the Heartless flew towards Sephiroth but Sephiroth disappeared in a flash and appeared after it ad come past and then again the Heartless came back to try again but it still missed.
"alright, it's time to end this" Sephiroth muttered to himself as he gripped Masamune and ran towards the Heartless as it flew towards him then the two clashed and passed each other and they both then landed on their feet and stayed like that for a few moments. Sephiroth turned and saw that the other orb that it had was shattered and then Sephiroth saw two balls of fire appear from over to his right and hit the back of the Heartless making it fall over. Sephiroth looked over to see Sora and Donald relieving their weapons and he realised that they both casted Firaga at the same time.
"finish it off Sephiroth!" yelled Sora and Sephiroth then looked towards the fallen mass of the Heartless and smirked only slightly and then disappeared and reappeared in front of the Heartless. The Heartless saw Sephiroth and went in with it's head to kill him but Sephiroth sidestepped and it missed then Sephiroth gripped Masamune and raised it above him and brought it down upon the heartless cleaving it in two easily. The Heartless then vanished leaving behind only a huge single blue heart that floated up high before fading in nothing.
Sephiroth turned and looked at the other as they walked towards him.
"where is the carpet?" asked Sephiroth and almost like on que they were soon greeted by a flying purple and gold rug.
"well now we know how strong the Heartless are becoming," said Sora "we'll now need to go to Neverland and see what it's like over there."
"indeed" said Sephiroth as he sheathed Masamune and the others put away their weapons as well and they then got onto the carpet and flew back to the city and to the Gummi ship. When they arrived at the Gummi ship the travellers got off the carpet.
"well," said Sora "we have to go to Neverland to see what the situation is there."
"please find Jasmine" said Aladdin "you have to find her".
"We will" said Sora and the group then turned and boarded upon the Gummi ship and they were in their seats. Aladdin simply stared at the ship as it slowly rose and then flew towards the sky above, with his thought stuck of his Jasmine.
In the cockpit Donald and Sora were arguing whether to go into Neverland or cut straight into Hollow Bastion. Sephiroth did not care much for where they would go for he had someone on his mind. Someone who was a pure angel in his eyes. An angel with long brown hair tied by a pink ribbon also with eyes that were piercing with their pure green colour. Sephiroth soon replayed the moments he had with her in Traverse Town, the moment the he held her close to him when the others could not see them, the way she stared into his eyes and also the way he lips were so tempting to touch. Sephiroth eventually dozed off to sleep, despite the noise between Sora and Donald, thinking of his beautiful green-eyed angel.
I know this is a bit of a poor ending but I have a big piece of writers block at the moment so please do not mind me being so long. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please review and let me know if I should continue or not.
