Note: I started to write these chapters months ago. Stopped temporarily to focus on another fic, but when that started to fail, I started writing these again. This is the last chapter I've written, which was last Sunday. Which means... no more daily updates, sorry :(. Only two per week after this one, unless my other fic gets brought back to life, which will make it only one per week. But, for now, two per week now after this one. Once again, sorry... :(.

Chapter 19: The new type of fighting

---------------

Hayner was in the usual spot, conversing with Pence and Olette.

Meanwhile...

Vivi and Setzer had entered the sandlot. The struggle promoter raised his right arm and he had his right hand vertical, with his fingers pointing toward the sky.

"The first one to fall to the ground, and can not get up within ten seconds, loses!" informed the struggle promoter.

Zell and Cait were in the sandlot as well, though, on the left sidewall of the sandlot, near the benches.

"Heh. This might be interesting..." claimed Zell

"Hmm... maybe..." commented Cait

"Ready!" started the struggle promoter, he then flung his right arm down, vertically, north to south and continued "Fight!"

Que: "Working Together" (Kingdom Hearts 2)

Vivi started to run away from Setzer, but Setzer chased him. Setzer tried to quickly slash Vivi horizontally, left to right, but Vivi kept running to dodge it. Vivi kept running some more, and dodged another quick slash by Setzer and was actually able to ground slash combo Setzer. Vivi then tried his clockwise, spiral, spin slashes, and it worked as he was able to hit Setzer multiple times, he ended his combo with a vertical, north to south, slash that forced Setzer to the ground, and he hit it hard.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Five!" shouted the struggle promoter, but Setzer jumped up at five.

Setzer tried to reel Vivi in with his horizontal, defensive stance with his Struggle Sword pointing to the right, but, it worked as Vivi tried his clockwise, spiral attack again, and it was parried by Setzer's defensive stance and he jumped up and did a crazy aerial slashing combo that hit Vivi multiple times, as he ended it with and overhand backward slash that forced Vivi to the ground and he hit it hard.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!" shouted the struggle promoter. Vivi was able to barely stand at nine.

Setzer rushed Vivi to finish Vivi off; Vivi just did not want to lose, then finally...

Vivi wailed on Setzer with another ground slashing combo, but, there were some electricity added to the strikes as well! Did Vivi's hidden power come out!

"Heh. You were right, Cait. When you said to me while we were walking here that you sensed great power in him just waiting to come out, I didn't believe you, but, I now see what you meant..." announced Zell

"Yes. You've got to start trustin' me more..." suggested Cait

"Right..." replied Zell

Vivi finished off Setzer with his same combo as before, but, he was able to add the electricity to the combos as he did before. Setzer hit the ground hard, and it seemed like he wouldn't be able to get up...

"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" started the struggle promoter "That's it! The winner is... Vivi!

End Music

"I won! gasped Vivi.

The struggle promoter left without anything else to do, and the match done and over with.

At this point, Hayner, Pence, and Olette heard a commotion going on at the sandlot and rushed there to see what was going on, and witnessed the finale of the fight.

"I knew it! Vivi DID have hidden powers, and they came out! Good for him!" thought Hayner

Setzer approached Hayner, Pence, and Olette.

"Call it a gut feeling... but those three want to defeat you guys. At any cost" informed Setzer

Setzer took out the two other weapons of the Struggle from out of his cape.

One was the Struggle Sword, but with a huge handguard for defending.

The other looked like a staff. The staff top was a blue star and it had a curve handle with some circle bumps on it that also protruded from the staff. The staff handle was still wooden, though.

He gave the defensive one to Pence and the staff to Olette.

"Be careful. Vivi's much tougher now" warned Setzer

"Yeah, but so are we" remarked Hayner

Setzer left the sandlot to the back alley to rest after his bout with Vivi.

Hayner, Pence, and Olette rushed into the sandlot. Zell, Cait, and Vivi quickly noticed them.

"Good, this is more convenient for us..." declared Zell

"Hmm... interesting..." remarked Cait

"I'll prove I'm much stronger now!" declared Vivi

Zell, Cait, and Vivi prepared their weapons and got in their fighting stances. Hayner, Pence, and Olette did the same.

Olette had her left hand near the top of the staff and her right hand near the bottom of the staff. She had her knees somewhat bent and swerved, with her knees, somewhat up and down.

Pence had his right leg out in front of him, and his left leg behind him with his knees bent. He had both hands on the defensive Struggle Sword with the sword in a backward slash with the top of the defensive Struggle Sword pointing northwest.

"I'll fight magic with magic. So, basically, I'll fight fire with fire" decided Olette

"Zell seems to be their "leader." I'll take him" decided Hayner

"Cait's fine with me" assured Pence

This... might be interesting, to say the least

P.S.: What a place to stop for the rest of the week, huh? OO;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
