Ch.13 The Games

Round 1

In the first round of the Games I was put against three Scrappers. They ran at me and I used Ars Arcanum, slashing into one Scrapper with reckless abandon, before it was destroyed and I turned to the other. Using the last strike of Ars Arcanum, I hit the Scrapper and caused a small explosion, sending it back to where I destroyed it with Spark Raid. The third one came at me, but I blocked it and used Counter Hammer, hitting the Unversed with a shockwave at destroying it.

Round 2

Next they pitted against a single bruiser and a Vile Phial. The first of the pair hit its stomach and charged at me, but I was waiting with Brutal Blast. The move knocked it back into the Phial, and I used Dark Haze. The move doomed the Phial but not the Bruiser, and it vanished in five seconds. During that time the Bruiser jumped and came crashing down, trying to squash me, but I dodged and stabbed it in its side, finishing it off.

Round 3

In the third round my enemy was three Spiderchests. Instantly all three of them burrowed underground, and I had to wait for them to emerge. Once one of them did I hit it with an over head blow, causing the top part of its chest to slam shut. Since I did that it couldn't see, and I literally picked the Unversed up and threw in into another that had popped back out. Both of them were knocked off-balance, and I used my Shotlock to destroy all three of them.

Round 4

By the time Round 4 came around I was getting kind of bored, but that changed when I saw my enemy was a Buckle Bruiser. It threw it buckles at me and I teleported behind it, using Spark Raid to finish hit it from behind. It turned and slammed into me to counterattacked, which I countered with Payback Fang. It tried to do it again, but this time teleported behind it and used Brutal Blast, destroying it in one hit.

Round 5

This one I remembered by rather difficult, 5 Shoegazers in fifteen seconds. So I started with Spark Raid to hit them all at once, them I used Ars Arcanum. Raining one blow after another, I continued until there was one left that was using a shield. So I waited until it peeked its head out, and simply bashed it on the head to defeat it.

Round 6

Now I had 2 Red Hot Chilies, 2 Blue Sea Salts, 2 Yellow Mustards and a single Axe Flapper. Instantly I used Dark Haze, hoping to doom as many as possible. I got the two Sea salts and one Mustard, both of them exploding into shadows. The Axe Flapper shot a barrage of razor-shape wind gusts at me, and I dodged to hit it from below. But then other Mustard hit me with a bolt of electricity, and then I remembered: the whole point of me getting in this thing was to try out my powers. Why not do so?

I focused and Ultimatum started glowing gold, and I charged at the Mustard who had hit me. Swing, I sliced the thing in two with my Keyblade before turning to point it at the two Chilies. A blast of ice shot from the end and went right through both of them, and I turned and sent a blast of fire at the Axe Flapper, who dodged out the way only for to me slash it in two.

Round 7

Now it was not one, not two, but three Buckle Bruisers, all of whom didn't look happy. They all threw their Buckles at me and I barely dodged, trying to get behind them to attack. But they didn't let me, and instead moved into a circle so their backs were against each other. Grunting in frustration I tried to think of a way to get at them, dodging buckled after thrown buckle in the process. Then I got in idea, and ran towards the trio.

They seemed surprised, at me, until I stabbed Ultimatum into the ground and used it to launch myself into the air, pulling it back out in the process. Once I was over the Unversed it pointed down and focused my energy, blasting out a beam similar to the I had used on Vanitas. The force of the attack was so powerful they Buckle Bruisers were burnt away in seconds.

Round 8

Next up was 2 Chrono Twisters and 2 Monotruckers. Instantly I went after the Twisters, who were already trying to cast Stop on me. I used Brutal Blast on one to shatter its hourglass before turning to the other and throwing my Keyblade, hitting it with Spark Raid. The one with the Broken glass spun end over end and cut me across the chest, so I countered with Payback Fang to hit hard enough to destroy it. Hastily I cast Curaga on myself before using Dark Haze on the other Twister, dealing enough damage to kill it anyway. The I used my Shotlock and the two Monotruckers and beat them.

Round 9

Round 9 consisted of one Bruiser with five Mandrakes. I used Ars Arcanum to finish off the bruiser quickly, and just as a hit from one of them Mandrakes was about to hit me I teleported behind the Unversed. It jumped out of the ground in fright, and now that it was exposed I finished it off easily. I took care of the other four Mandrakes in the same way, ending with destroying the last one with an over head blow.

Round 10

Last I was in the same arena with thirty Jellyshades, but I had a plan. Focusing for a second, I used Meteor Shower to destroy half of them before I stabbed my Keyblade into the ground. My powers coursed through me and into the ground, which I held there for a second before it exploded, sending chunks of dirt and rubble upward to destroy the rest of them.

After the match

I fell to one knee, exhausted from the relentless fighting. The crowds cheered at my victory and chanted "Dexal! Dexal! Dexal!" Despite my being tired, I stood and struck a pose before dismissing my Keyblade and waving. Walking back to the vestibule, I took a deep breath before sighing in exhaustion and crumbling against the wall. "Well, it looks like someone is a little out of it," I heard Hades say.

Looking up I say him standing over me, I said "Really? What on earth gave you that idea? Other than my being slumped against a wall, that is." He chuckled and said "Sounds like being tired has made someone a little cranky don't you think?" I grunted and closed my eyes, knowing that after ten consecutive matches they were going to give the finalists some time to get ready for the last match.

While I slept Hades paces around muttering. "Darn, this kid's stronger than he looks. At this rate whoever he's going against in the finals will have to be stronger than even Ares to pull this off. Who can I have for plan beta? Let's see… we got him, that Terra that I signed up and…" At that moment a guy a mask walked by, saying "Coming through, I'm on my way to the finals." Hades smiled a and said "Hello, plan beta."

After a while I was shaken awake, and looked up to see Hades standing over me. "Sorry to interrupt your nap time, but the finals are starting." I groaned and got up, checking my commands and adjusting my gear before walking into the arena. Once I did I blocked my eyes for a second to block the sun, before my eyes adjusted and I saw my two opponents. One was a guy with a regular sword and wearing a mask, while the other was-

I blinked and said "Terra?!" It was him, and he blinked too when he saw me. "Dexal? What are you doing here?" he asked "I entered the games to try and get a handle on these powers I have. What about you?" I replied. He smiled. "Pretty much the same thing really. The two of us, this should be pretty interesting." "Hey, don't forget about me!" the guy in the mask said. We both nodded and the three of us walked to the center of the arena, shaking each other hands. "No matter who wins no grudges. Deal?" he said. Both me and Terra said "Deal."

The three of us walked to separate corners of the arena and waited, until a bell went off and we all charged to the center. Terra and I both activated Sonic Blade at the same time, and since that made the two of us invincible to each other, we both targeted the guy with the mask. With the both of us sliding back and forth to hit him a total of fourteen times, by the time we were done the masked guy was covered with slashes. Without waiting I ran to Terra, who cast Dark Firaga at me.

Dodging, I was about to use Time Splicer when Terra activated Sonic Blade again. Shouting in surprise, I cartwheeled out of the way only for him to attack me again. The masked guy stabbed into the ground and a bolt of electricity across the ground at us. The move was headed for me actually, but Terra, who had to stop his Sonic Blade in order to dodge. Smiling, I watched for a second at the two of them began swinging and stabbing at each other, sword to sword.

Now that they were close I charged forward and cast Quake, rubble erupting from the ground to hit them both. The spell gave them a fair number of cuts, and knocked them off-balance long enough to use Time Splicer. Both of them were immune to the Stop part of the spell, but that didn't stop me from being able to use the teleporting combo. Hitting them both with only a few slashes at the time, I vanished and reappeared from one of the to the other several times, until I finished by hitting Terra with a vicious cut to the side.

The force of the blow sent him back, and he countered with his own Payback Fang. The guy with the mask jumped up and slammed his sword down to create a shockwave, which also hit me and sent me back. Luckily the move also hit Terra, who grunted the impact and cast Curaga. I did the same and used Quake again, hitting them both before casting Seeker Mine. Terra looked at me and smiled, knowing that while I had a set of homing explosives around me I wasn't in a hurry to pick a fight.

So he turned back to the guy in the mask and jumped up before using Geo Impact, slamming his Keyblade into the ground before causing boulders to emerge and hitting the masked guy, much like my Quake spell. He shouted in pain and tried to fire another homing bolt, but then Terra used Dark Firaga to send a ball of black fire at him before running up and casting Mine Square, the explosive hitting him the moment they deployed. Then Terra used two Sonic Blades, hitting him a total of fourteen times before Terra used his Finish Command, Dark Star.

He swung three times before slamming his Keyblade into the ground, creating a shockwave and calling a single Meteor down. The meteor hit him with the force of, well a meteor, and that knocked him unconscious. Now that the guy in the mask was down Terra looked at me and I smiled. I re-summoned Ultimatum and moved to a battle stance, waiting as Terra charged at me.
