T: Lo and behold chapter 11, this has some action. First time writing an action scene so be nice if it isn't great.
Disclaimer: Kingdom hearts isn't mine only the story is and my characters.
Ansem could see the enemy fleet; he never thought that the enemy possessed a ship of such size. This ship was obviously the enemy's capital ship and Ansem knew that it wouldn't be easy to destroy and that it would be carrying a lot of weaponry.
"People of Radiant Garden. Three days have passed and we have come as we promised." Orion spoke using the speakers on the Zodiark.
"Our main objective is the princess of heart, if you hand her over to us, we will spare your world. However should you refuse, we will destroy you and your beloved world." Orion spoke the same warning the scout ship delivered.
"I would like to speak to your leader, Ansem the Wise. Where is he?"
Ansem knew he had to reply, these beings looked like they were willing to fight.
Ansem activated the speakers that he would normally announce to his people special occasions; this however, was no special occasion.
"I am Ansem, ruler of Radiant Garden. You are not welcome here; you destroyed two of our villages and have threatened us with slavery and total annihilation." Ansem looked at the enemy's main ship with a burning hatred.
Then a bright light appeared in front of Ansem, he shielded his eyes to avoid being blinded, Ienzo did the same. When the light disappeared there stood Orion, Ansem had never seen anything like it, at least not for 8 years.
"Who are you!?" Ansem was startled to see a knight standing in front of him, what caught his attention was the symbol on the knight's armour. It looked like a crown with a heart in it; at least it looked like a heart.
"I am Orion, I assume you are Ansem?" Orion said while pointing a finger at Ansem.
"Yes, you're not welcome here." Ansem said while glaring at Orion.
"Look, I haven't come down here for idle banter, I came for the princess of heart, where is she?" Orion was looking around the room that lay behind the balcony.
"What makes you think I will turn her over?"
"Oh come on. You're telling me you're willing to sacrifice your own world, your people all for one girl?" Orion was laughing in his mind, but on the outside he was trying to be serious.
"Look around Ansem, what do you see?" Orion said whilst motioning with his hand.
"I see brave men willing to fight for their world, and I see hostile invaders that come here threatening to destroy my world." Ansem replied to Orion while still holding a glare at him.
"Look old man, we have no quarrel with you or your world, all we want is the princess of heart. Once we have her we will leave this world and the solar system and never return." Orion said while holding his hand out.
Ansem stared at his hand, did he speak the truth, or was it all a farce. After several minutes he slapped Orion's hand away.
"...So...You're willing to keep the girl?" Orion said in an angered tone, his armour had slowly started to glow red.
"...Yes."
Orion's armour was now glowing a bright red, his emotions were not only reflected in his armour but his powers were starting to show.
"You...you idiotic fool! My fleet has destroyed armies more lethal than your pitiful defence force! We have reduced entire civilisations to mere ruins of their former glory!! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP US!?" Orion was almost ready to summon his sword to kill him.
"Because we posses something that they didn't. By the end of today, your fleet will be destroyed, and you with it." Ansem had a small smirk on his face.
"...So be it, Ansem the Wise. You will forever be remembered as the foolish leader of your world. The lives of all your soldiers who fall in battle today will have died in vain, all for the sake of nothing!" Orion said before teleporting back on board Zodiark.
"Master Ansem? Are you sure that was a good idea?" Ienzo was slightly scared from the knight's recent statement.
"Nothing to worry about Ienzo." Then a knock came from the door.
"Come in." The doors opened to reveal Mickey holding a Keyblade, it was the star seeker.
"Mickey? What are you doing here?" Ansem asked his small friend with a bit worry in his voice.
"I said I would stand by your side, didn't I? That's why I am here." Mickey said with smile on his face.
"But my friend, what could that weapon do against a battleship?" Ansem appreciated the help but he couldn't see how he could help.
"I sense something Ansem, and it's coming from that giant warship." Mickey said pointing the Star Seeker at the Zodiark.
"What do you sense my friend?"
"...Darkness." Mickey held an ancient artefact that could sense darkness from anything, humans or objects.
Orion had teleported back onto the Zodiark, his armour still glowing red. He was angered and yet humoured at what Ansem said.
So, that old fool thinks he can destroy my fleet? HA! He must be going senile in his age. Although I wonder what this 'thing' is that could supposedly stop us.
"My lord? Shall we attack?" One of the pilots asked.
"Yes! Open fire! Destroy this city; order every ship to fire upon Radiant Garden!! Send the Heartless!!" Orion yelled loud enough for the whole bridge to hear.
Then the warships began firing their lasers at Radiant Garden while moving slowly closer for better accuracy. Their lasers were deadly, several houses in the city had already been destroyed and a few infantry squads had been wiped out.
"FIRE!!" The general yelled before all of Radiant Gardens troops and defence weapons were firing back at the enemy.
As expected the enemy ships shields protected majority of the ships, except the frigates. The frigates were armed with a few cannons and their hull armour wasn't as durable as the other warships in the fleet. Several had been severely damaged and a couple had already been destroyed.
On the Zodiark, Orion was looking at the battle from the bridge, he was slightly impressed at the fact they had brought down their frigates with such ease.
"Ha! They may be able to take down my frigates but that won't save them. Send out the Wraiths." Orion smiled evilly as he saw the pilots open the hatches that contained the millions upon millions of Wraith Heartless.
From the perspective of the Radiant Garden army, they saw several hatches open at the bottom of the Zodiark. Then came pouring out giant waves of 'creatures' as they could make out.
The Wraith flew out of the hatches on the Zodiark and flew at great speeds towards Radiant Garden. The turrets on the walls now concentrated their fire upon the Wraiths. Their agility was amazing to see, they dodged the majority of the bullets with ease. They glided through the air screaming their terrorising war cries.
The Wraith lunged at the turrets; hundreds of Wraiths were shot down at close range. They tore the barrels off and killed whoever was inside manning it. After they destroyed several turrets they flew into the city, spearheading all who were in their path.
They destroyed a lot of infantry squads along with the majority of the battle machines, they put a valiant fight against the Wraith, killing thousands of them, but in the end, numbers triumphed over skill and determination. Some of the infantry became Neo-Shadows due to the Wraiths poison and helped them in the slaughter of their fellow team mates.
This was indeed a devastating battle, Ansem could see the streets of his city flood with Heartless and gun fire. It pained him to see all the soldiers die, they didn't deserve death, but compared to what happened to others, death would be a blessing than serving as a Heartless.
"Ansem, quick come with me!" Ienzo said making his way to the door.
"Ienzo, where are you going?" Ansem was curious as to what Ienzo was doing.
"We need to get you to safety; they could be here in minutes." Ienzo said holding the door.
Ansem took a look outside once more to see the Heartless flying towards the entrance of the castle where the majority of the defence forces had retreated to.
"Okay, lead the way Ienzo." Ansem said knowing that they were losing.
I hope Kairi and Mickey are all right.
At the entrance to the castle, Mickey stood alongside the general fighting off the Heartless that were now converging upon the castle. The battle was fierce, majority of the Wraith's were all converging upon the entrance, and their objective was to kill all the guards and break into the castle and kill all in their path until they found the princess of heart.
The remaining defence force were somehow holding off all the Heartless that were converging upon them, several cannons continued to fire at the enemy fleet, they had managed to destroy all but 2 frigates left and half of the warships, but the Zodiark stood strong, the cannon shots had damaged the shields, slightly.
Orion was enjoying the sight he saw. All of Radiant Garden par the castle was in flames, what caught his attention was the remaining forces fighting at the entrance. He had to admit that the people of Radiant Garden were courageous, but also foolish. He didn't understand why these people continued to fight, even when they were massively outnumbered.
They continue to fight, even though they are outnumbered a million to one. Why? Why do they continue to fight? What drives them on...? Does it have something to do with what Ansem said?
"My lord, shall we unleash the Ravagers?" A pilot tried to get his masters attention.
"Hmm? Yes, send them out. Have they been fed?" Orion asked the pilot.
"No sir, they haven't eaten since we left our home world." Orion smiled at the pilots reply.
If there's one thing worse than a Ravager...It's when a Ravager hasn't eaten in a week. Let's see if they continue to fight as they have for past few hours.
Ienzo led Ansem past his study and went into the computer room.
"Ienzo, where are we going?" Ansem said getting slightly worried; he could still hear the battle raging on outside.
"Don't worry master, we built a safety bunker encase something like this happened." Ienzo replied whilst entering a disk into the computer and typing in a password.
Afterwards the disk ejected and a door opened to the lower levels. Ienzo motioned with his hand to follow him; Ansem followed him down the stairs until they reached the bottom floor.
"Now what?" Was Ansem's question as they stood idly.
Then a part of the floor moved away to reveal a pathway leading down, it was dark and gave off an eerie feeling.
"Down here Master Ansem, this is where the bunker is." Ienzo said while moving down the pathway.
They walked for 15 minutes through the stairway's and passages, to Ansem it felt like hours until they reached a door.
"What's in there?" Ansem said a bit worried now.
"The bunker. You will be safe in here." Ienzo said walking into the room.
Ansem followed after a few seconds hesitation. The room was huge, it contained various containers with hearts in. Then it dawned on Ansem.
This isn't a bunker...It's one of the experiment rooms!!
Ansem then saw something that wasn't there before; a small device attached to a portal; at least that's what it looked like to Ansem.
"Welcome, master Ansem. Does this room look familiar to you?" Ansem turned to see who the voice belonged to.
"Xehanort!?"
T: There it is, I hope it was good. If the action wasn't well described, I am sorry. There will be more in the next chapter so hopefully it will be better.
