Chapter 37: Prepare Yourselves… The Final Battle begins!
The Army's clashed, the sound of metal rang threw the air as swords met. Sora swung his keyblade. It hit one of Xehanort's soldiers and the solider fell to the ground dead. Sora looked around, soldiers swarmed everywhere. After a while the whole battle became a nightmarish blur. Sora stood back to back with Riku as he blocked a blow. His clothes were torn and ripped and his arms bled. He also felt like his arms were weights. Roxas swung Oathkeeper and Oblivion at a soldier, cutting off both his arms. The soldier cried out. Roxas kicked the soldier, finishing him off.
Terra's keyblade clashed with Master Xehanort's and sparks flew everywhere. Terra twirled his keyblade around as it hit Xehanort's again. Terra jumped back.
"I am not done yet!" Xehanort yelled, charging forward, kicking Terra in the chest.
Terra grunted, grabbing his chest.
Arkaxn and Ven jumped into the air as their keyblades met. Ven threw a kick at Arkaxn. Arkaxn brought arm up, blocking the kick, then punched Ven in the jaw. Ven flew back, hitting the ground with a thud. He rolled then stood up as Arkaxn ran towards him. Ven flipped over Arkaxn then kicked him in the back. Arkaxn flew forward but recovered quickly. He spun around, slashing Ven with his Keyblade. It hit Ven's arm.
"Gah!" Ven yelled as blood dripped down his arm.
Arkaxn kicked Ven in the head, sending him sprawling to the ground. Arkaxn pulled out a spear and lunged for Ven. Ven tried to move out of the way but couldn't. The spear went through Ven's shoulder.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaghh!" Ven screamed.
"You die now," Arkaxn said.
No... not yet!" Ven yelled.
Ven tore the spear out of him. Arkaxn looked shocked. Ven swung his keyblade, hitting Arkaxn in the helmet. Arkaxn's helmet cracked and flew off. Arkaxn fell to the ground.
"If only your head had been cut off, not just your helmet," Ven thought.
Arkaxn's face was revealed. He looked like master Xehanort, only younger and with long silver hair.
"You should go by your true name," Ven said, "This would be Xehanort Replica."
Naruto rammed a Rasengan into the chest of an enemy solider.
"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled.
Terra got hit in the jaw and flew towards the ground.
"Looks like you haven't gotten any better at combat," Xehanort laughed.
"Now you die!" Xehanort cried as he brought his keyblade down.
Clang!
There was Sora, in front of Terra, blocking Xehanort's blow with Riku behind him.
"Nobody hurts... my friends!" Sora said.
Xehanort twisted his keyblade around and kicked Sora in the chest.
"Ah!" yelled Sora as he fell to the ground.
Riku lunged forward with a fast series of blows. Xehanort blocked them all, then Xehanort swung his hand around, blasting Riku with ice.
Riku flew backwards, hitting the ground and skidding.
"He's fast... I'd better get serious," Riku thought.
Sora stood up along with Riku.
"Lets attack together," Sora said.
Riku nodded. They both charged forward. Xehanort held up his hand, it was glowing with a dark black energy. Kairi screamed suddenly. Sora spun around, but that left him open as the orb of energy struck him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaghh!" Sora screamed as he flew through the air and landed about one-hundred feet away from Riku and Xehanort.
Sora grabbed his chest, it was bleeding badly.
Kairi slashed multiple heartless at once then spun around and kicked a solider in the head. Her arms were cut badly, and her legs too.
"This fight just won't end," Kairi thought.
Master Xehanort slammed his hand on the ground. Darkness swirled everywhere. When it cleared, a guardian-like Riku was standing there, only it was huge. It appeared to be an huge creeper version of a darkside heartless with Master Xehanort floating in the center where the heart should be. Riku started to charge towards Master Xehanort.
"Even if I die, I have to save Sora and Kairi," thought Riku
All of a sudden, Sora appeared in front of Riku.
"I'll handle this," Sora said.
"Sora," Riku said…
"Very noble," Master Xehanort mocked.
Sora ran at Master Xehanort, top speed.
Terra looked up.
"Sora shouldn't have to finish this battle, it should be me..." Terra thought.
A ball of Dark energy gathered around Master Xehanort's hand.
"I've seen that... it's like my Dark Firaga, only ten times as powerful... Sora!" Riku thought.
"Now you die," Xehanort yelled as he shot the blast.
It roared towards Sora, cutting through the air. Sora brought up his keyblade prepared to block it. Riku sprinted towards Sora with all his speed.
"Sora can't block that," Riku thought, "I have to... its the only way."
"Sora, look out!" Riku cried.
Sora turned to look at Riku Riku dived…
