Chapter 8: Upgraded Powers Part 2
Donald and Goofy
The duck and dog finally made it toward Yen Sid's Tower in one peace. Once the ship had landed they made their way in side and began climbing the stairs to the "Sorcers Loft". "Goofy I don't know abut you but I am so glad to be here at least we know that the unversed can't get here", said Donald. Just then hordes of Flood and Scrapper Unversed appeared in front of them. "Oh not again", wined the already tiered Duck.
A flood unversed was about to pounce on Donald if Goofy wasn't there to support him. "Donald this is no time the be spacing out", warned the knight. "Your right Goofy", exclaimed Donald as he ran toward the enemy. Once he was in the middle he shouted THUNDER! Instantly 8 unversed disappeared. Goofy uses his "Whirl Goof" ability and is able knock out 5 unversed, but there are still many more unversed coming and they are only on the first floor. Donald and Goofy did their best to puhs trough the sea of enemies.

Aqua P.O.V.
As I make it up the first few flights of stairs I begin to sense something. It feels like light. However, I can also sense the the light has begun to weaken a bit. I can't pin point where I is coming from, but i know the I need to stay focused and find Terra and Micky so we can save Ven, but it's so dark. I'v been depending on my some what heightened senses to help my find them. It's still not enough though.
Fortunately I can see a little bit of light so I know that I must be coming to the end of the hall. I begin to run forward a to not lose any more time.

In a small control room Vanitas has been keeping an eye on all of Xenehort's "guests". Vanitas believes that he gave the keybearears enough R&R. "Ok Aqua lets see how you try this."

As Aqua ran she began to feel the floor shake violently and she lost her balance. Once the shacking stopped she saw that she was surrounded by many Chrono Twister unversed. She was about to charge ahead when one of then rammed itself right into her, knocking the wind right out of her. She needed to get past them but it seemed that the unversed were going to be a bit more of a challenge than she originally thought.

Terra
5 min. earlier.
Terra begging to gain conscienceless slowly stands up to see where he has ended up."A dungeon cell? I thought that for sure Xenhanort would have had us placed some where that wasn't easy to break out of. Then again who know what he's planning. I need to find the King, Aqua and Ven before something worse happens." Terra uses his keyblade to unlock the cell door and find his friends.
As Terra was walking down the hall he began to notice something. "Wait a minute something's not right." he said. " I feel this strong presence of light but where's it coming from?" Just then the floor began to shake violently, causing Terra to loose his footing and fall. The shaking carried on for a couple of seconds then stopped. Terra decided just to get on his knees in case the shaking came again, but it didn't instead he heard screaming and not just anyone's screams it was Ven's. "Ven I'm coming!" cried Terra running as fast as he could using the sound of Ven's voice to direct him to where he needed to be.
The louder the screams got the faster Terra ran, to save his friend from what ever torture he was being put through. Just then he saw a wooden door and some light making it's way through the cracks. With out waisting anytime Terra summoned his keyblade and cast a "FIRE" spell to burn down the door. When he entered he was not greeted by his friend but unversed, Archravens, Tank Topplers and Thornbites. With them he saw Vanitas. "Vanitas where's Ven?", demanded Terra. "Sorry, but in order for me to answer your question you'll have to take care of these guys first, but I'll say this much. You had better hurry Ven won't last much longer if you don't hurry up. His heart won't be able to take the strain much longer.", replied Vanitas. He then disappeared though a dark portal. "Come back!", cried Terra, but he knew that it was pointless not to mention he was surrounded by unversed that he know hat to get rid of.

Aqua
Being knocked down by the unversed by about the 10th time, Aqua began to wonder how many more hits she could take before being knocked down for good. It's not like she hadn't faced multiple enemies before, but these just seemed to be 10 times stronger and faster than usual. Aqua could nearly keep up. In the past 5 minutes she was only able to defeat one of the unversed out of the whole group. Aqua was running low on potions and needed a way to take care of the unversed before they took care of her.
Before she could even move a Crono Twister came at her from behind causing her to hit the floor face first and began to cough up blood. "Damit. Is there nothing I can do to stop these things?" Suddenly an idea came to her as well as another unversed, but she was able to dodge and decided to give her idea a try.
Aqua began to concentrate a large amount of her remaining energy into her keyblade. The key blade began giving off some strange energy that seemed to startle the unversed, but they did not falter from where they were. When enough energy was concentrated Aqua then tried to gain a glimpse of there each unversed was palced and shouted " SHOOT LOCK COMMAND: BUBBLE BLASTER." A series of bubbles attacked the mercilessly until there were none left. Aqua fell to her knees tiered as hell, but still had enough strength to give herself an ELIXER to heal herself and to bring back her magic. However, she also felt something new being added she wasn't sure what to call it, but for now she will call it "focus". Especially since it helped her defeat all those unversed.
'Mabye that was what the master was talking about my powers increasing.", thought Aqua. Now with renewed strength and ability Aqua made her way to the next floor. "Terra, Micky, Ven hang on just a little longer I'll be there soon"

Ven
Ven was beginning to regain conscienceless. "How long have I been out?"
As he was about to move he noticed that his arm and legs felt like led and it was a little hard to breath. Then he remembered what happened before he was knocked out by Xenhenort. Ven tried again pulling on the chainsto see if they would break, but with the amount of effort that have was putting into it the chains were barley moving at all. After about 5 attempts Ven was exhausted and didn't even notice when Vanitas entered the room.
"Well, well, well, still trying to break free are we? Could have sworn that, that spell would keep you out longer.",stated Vanitas. "Wh- What are you talking about? What did you do to me?", asked Ven even though it was above a wisper.
"Oh don't worry Ven you'll find out soon enough. in fact I'd say it's time to move you to the best show in the house." said Vanitas.
"What? No way in hell I'm going with you." replied Ven.
"Sorry but you don't have assay in the matter." Vanitas commanded the darkness to hold Ventus so he couldn't move at all. Ven was about to protest when he saw Vanitas was right in front of him with a vile in his right hand. Using his free hand Vanitas grabed Ven's chin to keep his head in place and made him drink what liquid was in the vile. It was colorless, odorless, and tasteless but Ven felt his heart race it was getting harder and harder to breath. His vision was having him see double then triple. The pain in his chest made him feel as though he was going to die at any second. Then everything wend black. Ven had passed out his body couldn't take the strain anymore.
authors note: sorry for the long wait, but hopefully this chapter is long enough for you readers into the frost set of unversed battles that the heros will have to face.
incase you got confused: in the two scenes with Aqua and Terra when the floor shakes happens at he same time. Also the part when Ven screams is just an illusion to get Terra into the room with the unversed.
~bye for now.
