Me: Welcome yet again!
Riku: Y'know, these intros get annoying. They're very repetitive.
Me: Deal with it. Ok, there have been lots of people saying that Sora needs something to do, so this next battle, submitted by BlackFalcon269, is a 2 on 2 battle! Sora and a partner of his choosing vs Leon and Cloud!
Sora: SWEETNESS! I LOVE YOU, BLACKFALCON269!
Me: So, Sora, who will it be? Who shall join you in this epic battle of good and evil?
Sora: I choose…Riku!
Riku: Good, because I haven't gotten to fight at all yet.
Me: Man, the suspense is too much to bear! Let's get this started!
Both teams step into the ring, facing each other from across the arena. Sora and Riku simultaneously call their Keyblades while Leon and Cloud draw their swords. I decide that we don't need a landscape, because the tag team battles will be interesting enough as it is. Maybe future 2-on-2 battles will be different…I ring the gong.
Sora charges forward first, eager to be in the heat of battle. Riku quickly follows his partner to back him up. The two leap toward their opponents, Sora aimed at Leon while Riku goes after Cloud. Both swordsmen block as the two Keybearers strike upon them. Cloud lets out a war cry and swings his massive Buster Sword upward, knocking Riku back a few feet from the force. Sora and Leon are locked in combat nearby. Sora sees Cloud out of the corner of his eye, lunging at Riku with an enormous swing. He quickly deflects Leon's attack and jumps between the two, parrying Cloud's attempt with great effort. "Got your back!" he calls to Riku as he soars through the air between them. Riku nods and springs toward the spiky-haired blond as soon as Sora is out of the way. He delivers a hard combo, but Cloud's bulky sword easily stops it from damaging its wielder.
Leon and Sora, now separated by the other two combatants fighting between them, leap high into the air, straight over Cloud and Riku. Their shimmering blades clash in the sky, the clang resounding throughout the stadium. They push off of each other's blades, Leon firing a bullet and Sora shooting a Fire spell as they head back for the ground. The two collide and explode, while Leon and Sora land on their feet, ready for more. They charge right into the ensuing battle, Sora whacking Cloud in the hip and Leon swiping Riku's leg. The battle becomes a full team effort once again.
Riku hurls dark fireballs as Sora runs forward, brandishing his Keyblade. Leon cartwheels away from the blue flaming orbs while Cloud runs out to meet his new opponent. Sora whips around, swinging in sideways, and Cloud easily swipes diagonally and blocks the attack. The brunette proceeds to flip sideways over Cloud's sword, freeing his key and smashing his foe in the arm. Cloud growls and grabs Sora with his mechanical claw, hurling him across the stage. "Ack!" the young boy yells as he skids across the hard ground. Riku angrily rushes forward, furiously swinging at the blond warrior. Cloud blocks but quickly becomes overwhelmed. Leon jumps in from the side, aiding in the fight against the silver-haired teen. Sora gets back up to join in the war, blending into the chaos.
Everything is a blur, warriors flipping over each other, weapons clashing, war cries echoing through the domed arena. Soon, everything becomes so quick that it's hard to think straight. Cloud cries out in frustration, an aura of electric energy shooting out from him. The others are blasted backward and Cloud stands tall, one dark demonic wing sprouting from his shoulder. It unfurls and the soldier rises into the air. Sora and Riku roll in separate directions as Cloud careens between them, swinging his colossal weapon. Sora turns to face the winged enemy, who is circling back around to swoop at them again. He waits as Cloud approachs, poised to strike…
As the winged warrior closes in, the Keyblade Master leaps, delivering a sharp uppercut to Cloud's chin. He is hurled backward in a series of flips, dizzy from the blow. Sora follows through with a sliding dash and a second uppercut. Cloud falls to the ground, wing disappearing and clothes tattered. Meanwhile, Riku and Leon are duking it out. The attacks keep going back and forth, increasing in strength each time. Finally, Leon lets out a yell and his blade explodes with light, growing to three times its size and shimmering with a golden surface. He swings it in a massive arc toward his startled foe, who puts up his weapon to guard but is sent hurtling to the ground from the sheer force. Knocked to the ground, Riku is completely vulnerable for a few moments. In that time, Leon aims his gunblade straight at the youth. Riku can't react in time. He squints his eyes shut, holding out his blade upon instinct but not expecting to have blocked in time. He hears a gunshot, then a pained cry that echoes horribly through the arena. His eyes shoot open to see that Sora had leaped between the two to stop the attack. The Keybearer falls to the ground whimpering, the bullet lodged in his shoulder.
"SORA!" Riku screams, both in distress and in rage. He grits his teeth and bolts forward, eyes locked on the enemy that hurt his best friend. With an angry outburst, he jumps high into the air, surrounding his blade in dark fire, and slicing downward. The dark attack connects, cutting Leon across the chest and leaving burn marks. He grunts and falls backward. Cloud staggers to his feet and runs toward Riku. Sora weakly tries to get up, using his Keyblade for support. Riku whips around and blocks Cloud's incoming attack, sending a combo back at him. Riku glances over at his friend, who has just stood all the way up, fighting back the throbbing pain in his shoulder. "Riku!" the brunette yells. "Let's finish this!" Riku looks over, and as they lock eyes, he knows what to do. He leaps in the air, Sora right behind him, and they hover back to back. Then, they begin shooting light and dark orbs everywhere, raining down on their foes. They begin teleporting all over the arena, spinning blades of light around themselves and hacking apart their foes. They relentlessly strike, leaving Cloud and Leon on the ground, panting and weary. Then with one final effort, they finish the Eternal Session attack by hurling both their Keyblades into the air, creating a vortex of light and dark auras that obliterate the whole battlefield.
Me: OMG, DRAMATIC VICTORY! YAY SORA AND RIKU!
Roxas: Are we showing bias again, hmm?
Me: I'm just congratulating the winners, sheesh…Sora, I hope you're shoulder's fine! X(
Sora: Yup, it's all good.
Me: Ok, well I hope everyone enjoyed! I will try to post again soon!
