Me: Welcome to the Stadium, folks! Already we have a request coming in! Thank you, Rew, anonymous reviewer, for submitting!
Ansem: SUBMIT.
Me: Um, sure…I suppose I never specified that they had to be two-on-two battles so this is a three way fight to kick off our tournament! We have Xemnas vs. Ansem the Wise vs. Ansem Seeker of Darkness! For non-confusion purposes, Ansem the Wise will be referred to as DiZ and Ansem Seeker of Darkness shall just be Ansem.
DiZ: But it's MY name! Why does he get my name?
Me: shut up and get ready (pushes him into the arena)
DiZ: wait, I don't even fight!
Me: Begin! (rings gong)
Xemnas immediately draws his ethereal blades while Ansem calls up his Dark Guardian. DiZ stands there, trying to decide what to do, considering he doesn't even have a weapon. Suddenly, he remembers the one skill he does have…
Xemnas launches forward in a blur for Ansem's face, but the guardian shoots in front of him, grabbing both blades and throwing Xemnas aside. While still in the air, he teleports, warping behind Ansem and striking him with a firmly-gripped blade. Ansem calls out in anger and whips around with a fist cloaked in darkness, connecting with Xemnas' jaw. He's propelled backward, but lands on his feet in a crouched position. He glares upward with his menacing yellow eyes, a smirk on his face. Ansem returns the golden stare. Just as they are about to meet in battle again, the arena suddenly changes, surrounded in a twilight colored sky.
Ansem and Xemnas: What the…?
DiZ's laugh is heard, booming throughout the whole dome. Everyone looks around, confused.
DiZ: We're playing on my arena now!
Roxas: What's going on?
Me: He's hacked into the computer mainframe! He has access to all arena layouts and traps that I've uploaded to the database! The little sneak!
Roxas: So, in English…?
Me: He has control of the arena's setup.
Roxas: Oh.
DiZ's laugh echoes all around. Suddenly, a dark building shoots up from underneath Xemnas. He is hurled into the air but quickly regains himself, landing back down gracefully. Ansem is forced to dive out of the way of a laser cannon that has appeared and opened fire on him. Quickly, he forms an orb of dark energy in his hand, launching it toward the lethal weaponry. The cannon explodes in a burst of black flame. Almost immediately after, Heartless appear, surrounding both Ansem and Xemnas. They are forced back to back. They realize, to both of their disgusts, that they can't fight each other and survive DiZ's tricky game at the same time. They'll have to work together for now. In opposite directions, they leap and start hacking away at the Shadows circling them.
Xemnas twirls through a mob of the creatures, blades cutting through them all. Ansem's Guardian lets out a horrifying roar and begins ripping apart its fellow beings of darkness. The Heartless are nearly eliminated when a voice rains down from above, "Try this!" Soon, the two villains find themselves face to face with….themselves, clones created by DiZ. "This is all an illusion, created from data!" cries Ansem. "If we can find a weak spot in the system, we can temporarily shut down the computer and have a chance to take out the enemy!" Without even answering, Xemnas careens past his clone, taking a swipe at it as he does so, all the while scanning the walls and domed ceiling. The clone blocks and makes an attempt to strike him down, the Superior still searching for a "weak point". He parries the blow just in time. Meanwhile, Ansem and his fake self are locked in battle, both firing rays of darkness at the other. The two beams meet and both struggle to overpower the other. Finally, the force causes the two rays to explode in the middle, causing both Ansems to have to shield themselves from the explosion. When the dark fiery smoke disappears, the real Ansem is nowhere to be seen. The clone looks around confusedly, when from behind him, a massive dark claw grabs him. Ansem's Dark Guardian has a grip on the clone, tightening with crushing force. The fake guardian tries to take a swipe at the real one, but Ansem blasts it backward with a barrier. The Dark Guardian clenches its fist completely, shattering the fake Ansem and sending him into the oblivion he was brought forth from. His guardian howls as it too disappears.
Now, Xemnas is locked in battle with his other self. Strike after strike, both are unsuccessful in landing a single blow. Xemnas shoots jagged bolts of nothingness but his clone warps behind him, blades drawn. The real Xemnas backflips over him before the weapons can slice through his midsection. That's when he spots it. A static spark on the very top of the domed ceiling. The Nobody hurls an ethereal blade straight up, landing it directly in the spot he wanted. The twilight background and Xemnas clone fizz out in a burst of numbers, the field returning to normal.
Sora: (jumps up, spilling popcorn everywhere) YEAH, WOOHOO! Wait a minute…why am I cheering Xemnas on…?
DiZ, now weaponless and defenseless, stands in terror in a corner of the stadium. Ansem rushes him, his guardian swinging a dark fist into his gut. The old man is hurled backward and lands on the ground with a grunt. Facedown, he doesn't get back up. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, smirks. "One down and-"
Suddenly, a red shimmering blade shoots through him from behind, coming through his chest in front. "And one more to go," Xemnas finishes for him, sneering. He pulls the blade out and Ansem, eyes wide in shock and pain, falls to the ground, disintegrating into dark particles, his Dark Guardian following.
Me: We have a winner! Xemnas!
Sora: Wait, I thought you said you couldn't kill anyone!
Me: Well, technically, I can bring anyone back to life anyway so it wouldn't really matter…
Marluxia: So we CAN kill people?
Me: Yeah, I guess so.
Xigbar: (aims gun at Sora's head)
Sora: Eep! (ducks under the shot)
Me: Well, that's the first battle here in the KH Arena! Hopefully, there will be another match soon! Come back to check often and send in those suggestions! They will probably get longer and more epic as they go so please stay tuned….Also, feel free to give a regular review! Likes, dislikes, things to improve! See ya later, peeps!
