Sora, Kairi, Riku, and Aqua were running up the spiral stairs to the next floor of Castle Oblivion, trying to get to the thirteenth floor so they could return Ven's heart to his body. As they ran up the stairs, they could not keep their mind off of how the friends they left behind, Lea, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, where doing back on the first floor, fighting the other members of the organization. The more floors they passed the higher their worried were for them.

As they passed multiple floors, Sora found that they were on the eighth floor of the castle. When he entered the room, he looked around, before running towards the next door. A little bit then half way through, they were stopped by two corridors of darkness, and out of those corridors came out Braig and Xemnas. Braig stared at the keyblade wielders, who were now in their battle stances, across the room receiving a death glare from each one of them. Xemnas on the other hand acted as if he had no emotions what so ever and only stared at Aqua from across the room deeply. "So it looks like you all have not been very good," Braig said as he summoned his guns, while Xemnas cautiously summoned his ethernal blades.

"Like we care if your think we have been good or not," Aqua exclaimed at them, catching the two's attention, "We are going to take you down and then we are going to return Ven's heart to him."

Braig only laughed at Aqua's statement. "Boy, you are all really stupid," Braig said as Sora began to fume more with anger.

"Well we are a lot smarter then you are!" Sora exclaimed angrily as Braig continued to laugh.

"See you don't even get it," Braig said, " It doesn't matter if we defeat you now or if you defeat us and return that keyblade welders' heart to him, we will win either way." Sora and the others then brought their weapons down for a moment, paying attention to what Braig had to say. "You see if you return Ventus his heart, we will have six of the lights present, which is one step closer to forging the X-Blade. Or if we take your down right now, since we now have permission to kill you, we will just have to wait a little longer for more lights to appear. Face it, it's over."

"Nothing is over as long as we are still breathing!" Riku exclaimed as they then all stood in their battle stances again and Braig looked at them from across the room.

(Black Powder battle music, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)"Fools such fools, fine, I'd rather wait for more lights then let you all get past me!" Braig exclaimed as he stood in his place with his guns ready. Xemnas, even though he seemed unsure of this, also got his ethernal blades ready while looking at Aqua deep in the eyes.

Sora then charged at Braig, not caring about what the others would say about him charging at him like that, with his keyblade raised. Sora felt more anger towards Braig then he did before, but Sora figured it was just because Ventus also had hated feelings towards Braig as well. As soon as Sora got within arms length of him, Braig dashed at Sora, firing at him with his guns. Luckily for Sora, Aqua was right behind him and was able to cast reflect over him, not causing a single bullet to hit him. Braig then began to yell at Xemnas, telling him to get into the fight, which he did and jumped at Kairi, who was about to try and attack him anyway so there was no reason for him to not try and attack her. The two clashed weapons, Kairi being surprised that she blocked everyone since last time they fought he was very agressive and it was hard to block them. It seemed almost as if Xemnas was not trying to cause serious pain to Kairi and they continued to fight.

As the reflect wore off of Sora, he once again charged at Braig, who's back was facing him, so it looked like the perfect opportunity to strike. As Sora ran up to him, which what looked like Riku detracting him from the front, and got a combo hit on him. But as soon as the combo was done, Braig was able to whack Sora with his gun right in the jaw. Sora flew backwards into a wall as Riku ran up to him and was able to fire a blast of dark arua at him, which barely effected Braig since he was one of the thirteen darknesses after all. Riku then was able to hit him with fire but that also did not seem to effect Braig that much, it was clear that since the last time Sora thought with Braig, it was clear that Braig has been training.

Meanwhile, Kairi and aqua were trying to fight off Xemnas, who was still barely trying to attack them and only trying to prevent himself from getting hurt. Aqua was going to fight Braig, but since she saw that Kairi seemed to be fighting Xemnas all alone, she jumped into help Kairi. Xemnas was trying to block one of Kairi's attacks when Aqua came up from behind him and was able to hit him with rainfall. She then was able to get her keyblade under him and flinged him back, making him hit a wall. Xemnas then began to get back up slowly, even though he was going easy on them, they were not going easy on him. As he backed away from the wall he kept his eyes locked on Aqua. Braig could only roll his eyes as he saw Kairi come up from behind him and jumped into the air, trying to come down on him with an areal combo. To help his clueless member, since Riku and Sora were not giving him much of a problem, Braig fired a blast of darkness right at Kairi, that hit her head on and made her fall backwards into a wall behind her. "Kairi!" Sora exclaimed as he quickly got up from being hit by Braig's gun and tried to run over to her. But Sora was then stopped by Braig who pointed his gun right at Sora.

Sora froze as Braig seemed like he was going to fire a bullet at him, and Sora was still weak and a little dizzy from when Braig hit him. When Riku saw that his friend as about to be hit, he jumped at the gun and pushed it out of the way, causing the multiple bullets to fire right at the wall behind Sora. When Riku pushed the gun out of the way, he fell to the ground and was about to get back up, but before he could, Braig took his other gun and fired a single bullet right at Riku's arm, right below the wrist. Riku then screamed out in pain as he saw the blood come from his wound and tried to pull it out but it went through his arm and was now stuck in the ground. Braig then came up to Riku again, and fired one more bullet in his other arm around the same place, also causing it to be stuck in the floor. Braig then fired at Riku's clothes and pinned down the lose clothes to the ground with more bullets, causing Riku to be stuck in a t shaped formation. Braig then looked like he was going to fire more bullets at Riku's chest but then Sora jumped in front of the gun and blocked all of the bullets he was going to fire at him. Sora was still dizzy but was still going to try and help his friend. Sora then ran at Braig one more time before Braig hit him with his guns again and then grabbed on to Sora's throat, slowly cutting off his breath.

Braig then pinned Sora against a wall, still holding on to his neck as he then brought his gun behind him pointing it straight at Aqua, who's keyblade was just knocked out of her hands by Xemnas. The bullets hit her right in the left leg, which caused it to start bleeding and made her fall to the ground right by the wall. Before Aqua could even look up, she saw Xemnas over her, pointing his ethernal blades right at her as Aqua looked into his yellow eyes. Aqua then looked over to see Kairi glowing with darkness on the floor, Riku being pinned down by Braig's bullets, and Braig choking Sora against a wall, as Braig laughed at them. It seemed like it was going to be the end for the keyblade masters.

But no one saw what was coming next.

Yup NO ONE is going to know what is coming next cuz i made a CLIFFHANGER! i know i am soooo evil. Dont worry though, i will hopefully get it out later today. So until then keep up with the reviews and look out for chapter 41!
