Nadia vs. Grogonopse
(This next chapter may get a tiny bit intense so I would suggest listening to Scherzo Di note (preferably the Kh1 of course) since this chapter has old school fighting and bashings as well from Grogonopse and Alan and Nadia.)
As Nadia took out her keyblade and stared down to Grogonopse who took out a giant golden axe, she asked him as they stood on the Hyrule Castle look alike arena, "Why do we have to do this Grogonopse? There has to be another way of settling this." Grogonopse just smirked off Nadia and then sharpened his axe on the ground. He then said, "Ah, to be as naïve as you are my dear. You and your man don't understand why we are doing this in the first place. Aside from our fallen comrades, we have alterior motives too. You see when Colonel Oben created the 'Doors of the Heart', there was so much positive and negative emotional energy escaping the Doors and turning
the people of Argon into black monsters. They resembled that of demons and angels both fighting each other for power and dominance. So when the 'Doors' were created, the powers of them infected Colonel Oben and created Obeion in his place and when we the 'Knights of the Realm' even tried to control their ghastly powers, we too succumbed to their almighty powers. This is why we have both good human qualities and bad human qualities that have made us powerful beings. If you think you can even match our powers, you are sadly mistaken."
Nadia then ran towards Grogonopse and clashed her keyblade with his axe as she said, "We can figure a way out of this mess. But you're going to have to trust us." "Trust you. A human girl from a world our people have never even heard of, hah! I'd rather eat my own peoples' feces than ever accept a compromise from you." Grogonopse then slashed Nadia's legs with his axe. Grogonopse then picked up Nadia and launched her over a hundred feet into the air and as he
jumped high up to reach her, the sky was glowing blue and red as a sign that a climactic battle was ensuing. Grogonopse slashed at Nadia's dress a couple of times ripping it near her chest, slashing her waist, and cutting and scraping her legs up too. Yet even as Nadia screamed a bit at the pain griping her legs and her body, Grogonopse just laughed as they began falling from the sky. He then said, "Go on little flower. Scream to the heavens!! Your man can't save you. You're all alone. How can you even think of matching the great 'Knights of the Realm'? You two are amateur fighters. Your weapons are useless pieces of steel. Not to mention you serve a blob for a master. Even I can think of better ways of being great than serving a master." Nadia then slashed Grogonopse piercing his armour and slashing his stomach open. Nadia then said angrily punching him, "How dare you!! You serve Obeion you hypocrite!! I find it funny that you guys are helping others when in reality I see you're trying to use the Doors of the Heart to escape your little anguish, even though Aranse said you guys chose to try and harness their powers for your own selfish needs."
Grogonopse grabbed Nadia's right arm and then swung her around in multiple circles until he threw her up once more another few feet above him and launched his axe towards her. Nadia just briefly escaped the blast of the axe because her keyblade deflected the monstrous blow. Yet it scraped her dress even more creating more holes in her sleeves and cuts on her shoulders and body. Grogonopse clearly had the upperhand in this match. Meanwhile, Alan asked Aranse in the abyss, "How can such a man do such a thing?" "It's the Doors of the Heart Alan. Legend has it that when Oben created them, he secretly used some old Argon witchcraft to concoct his little experiments. Luckily my people caught him for his little stunt before he could continue the Doors of the Heart's powers." Alan looking confused then asked, "So they are actually weaker than they would have been before?" "Oh yes. That's why I'm concerned about the Viraltroopers getting their grimy little hands on the new heart being created from the
Doors of the Heart is because of their prior experimentation. I know this myself because I was the vice president of the planet and C.E.O of the natural resources program which dealt with the natural effects of these Doors. In other words, we can only hope that Nadia will find the power she needs to defeat Grogonopse." Alan looked back at the screen and seeing Nadia begin to bleed made his heart sink.
Grogonopse was laughing all the way down through to Hyrule's grounds as Nadia collapsed on the ground and he began to glow a black aura and as he picked her up, Grogonopse said punching her two times, (brace yourselves for a sexist comment as was common in the seventies of a majority of men) "Weak girl. This is why men are superior!! You have no muscle…" Another punch, but to her stomach it came. "…You are emotionally inferior!!..." Another punch went straight to her left cheek. "…and you expect me to believe that your beliefs are true and strong. Your race and this entire universe are all too predictable. Now
then say good bye!!" Grogonopse threw the girl to the ground as he raised his axe and in dominance was about to slash the girl to kingdom come. Alan saw this and thought on the verge of crying, 'No!! You…monster!! You'll pay for this!!" Alan then began to glow in a red aura as he transported to that arena with Aranse stunned in his realm. Then Grogonopse's axe was slashed out of his hand and Alan dressed in his treebark brown suit protected Nadia.
Then Grogonopse then said, "So the lovers are reunited. Get a room Romeo. Your girl and I have a match to settle." Alan then slashed Grogonopse's suit and he began to bleed from his steel armour. "I'd advise leaving now Grogonopse!! Before I kill you, I at least want you to get away and have a chance to never show your face again!!" Grogonopse then as he teleported and grabbed his axe and came back again, "Never fool!! I fight for my own reasons!! I shall never back down and if you want to face my wrath like your honey did so be it." Nadia
then said silently grabbing Alan's left brown boot, "Please Alan, escape while you can. Forget about me!" Alan dropped down to Nadia and held her in his lap as he said, "Please don't leave me Nadia. Please don't leave me. I have to fight Grogonopse. He plans on killing you, and I won't let that happen!!" Nadia silently going into unconsciousness said, "Alan!" and collapsed as Grogonopse said laughing, "What a touching moment. A lover and her and her hubby reunited once more only to be separated in death, but don't you worry. I'll make sure to end her misery quickly after I kill you that is." Alan angrily stared at Grogonopse and ran quickly at the speed of light towards him. He slashed at his axe and sliced it into many pieces as Grogonopse's laugh began to wither away. Grogonopse protected himself with his arms and tried punching Alan many times, even as Alan avoided each one with ease. Grogonopse then said in surprise as Alan glowed and got golden armour on his suit, "It can't be… only legends and heroes can wear that kind of armour. That means you must be a her…" Alan then slashed Grogonopse and recoiled all of the damage that he gave Nadia back to
him and as he collapsed, his golden armour dissolved revealing his body to be half torn up and bleeding, to the weapon he once wielded being trashed and nothing more than firewood and steel. Alan stood over Grogonopse and yielded his keyblade to him as a sign of defeat and he asked him, "Was it really worth it Grogonopse? To try and take my partner's life and for what? Just a little fun and games? Don't you regret what you have done?"
Grogonopse laughed as he spat up blood and puked over the side of the Hyrule Castle arena and said, "You fool. The Knights of the Realm are bent on what we said we would do. Regardless of what anyone thinks, we did just as we were supposed to do. We claimed hearts, created a second chance for all of those that were lost in 'the Great War' and what's more, our special secret weapon is almost finished, so there's nothing you can do about it. And to think you wasted your time with me!! So to answer your question, it was worth it and I don't regret
anything of what I did. You can kiss my…" Then a slash came to his head, but it was of Nadia's own doing with her keyblade as Alan rushed to her side. He then asked on the verge of tears once more, "I should've been doing this the whole time Nadia. You almost died because of my negligence." Nadia hushed Alan as she said, "Don't blame yourself Alan. I wanted to protect the 'Doors of the Heart'. It was my idea in the first place." Then Alan hushed Nadia as he gave her some medicine and wrapped her in fine silk bandages. They then transported back to the abyss where Aranse used his powers to heal Nadia and Aranse said, "I am very impressed Alan at how you rushed to protect your friend. Your powers have gotten stronger and your strength from your heart has increased too."
Alan then sheepishly said, "Despite what Grogonopse said, Nadia actually was the one who defeated him. I finished him off, but I could see from his tense struggling with her that Nadia weakened him by a lot
of the damage he received." Nadia then said, "Serves him right the sexist he is if you ask me." Aranse then said, "I have noticed that there is commotion in another world, it's actually not too far from your world actually. It's down beneath your world of Earth to be honest." Alan and Nadia then asked in unison, "There's a world beneath ours that exists?" "Yes and the people there are coexisting with a large group of insectoid creatures (some people could take a guess as to what should be expected in the next little while, but I'll let you figure that out as to what my next chapter will be about.) that have plagued them for just as recent as a decade. If the Viraltroopers claim that world, then yours is as easy as conquerable. I'm counting on you two." Alan and Nadia nodded as Alan pressed his buttons on his watch and they transported themselves to the next world.
(It was coming quite close to the Knights of the Realm succeeding there, but of course Alan relied on his love for Nadia to create his
power within and succeed. To expand, we have just hit the climax as of yet and pretty soon will head to where we first started with the Prologue. There's just a few things I want to get out of the way and then this story will be done. More to come yet, so stay tuned.)
