Me: Well, hi. It's me again. I know I haven't written a new arena battle in a long time. I apologize for that, I've been busy and I've also been working on other stuff. I've been writing, revising, and working on another fic which I have begun posting! It's called Nobody's Friend, you should all check it out ;)
Sora: Am I in it?
Roxas: Am I?
Axel: I've gotta be in it.
Me: Well, people will just have to read to find out! So anyway, without further ado, onto the battle! Sent in by Lord Zero Master, this battle is a tag team match! Terra and Aqua vs. Riku and Kairi!
The four Keyblade Masters enter the battlefield. Kairi and Riku draw Destiny's Embrace and Way to the Dawn, respectively, while Terra and Aqua choose Ends of the Earth and Stormfall. Both teams stare out at each other, unwavering expressions on their faces. The gong sounds. The war begins.
Riku rushes forward to get the first strike. Terra also charges out to meet his adversary and Aqua is quick to follow. Terra and Riku clash, their weapons locked in a powerful block. Aqua gracefully bounds forward toward the two, but Kairi runs up to challenge her. They both jump into the air, Aqua firing a flurry of bubbles and Kairi hurling a cascade of waves. The two watery spells meet head-on, flowing over and into each other until they crash to the ground. Both females land on the ground and immediately start transferring blows. Meanwhile, Terra and Riku are sending forceful attacks back and forth. Riku swings in an overhead arc. Terra raises his Keyblade over his head to guard, then pushes against Riku's key, driving the teen backward. He continues by stabbing his weapon into the ground, causing large rock pillars to sprout from the ground. Riku looks down in shock as one shoots out from under him, bruising his back and launching him into the air. Kairi begins to run as the stoney lances explode upward around her, threating to impale her. Aqua chases her opponent, leaping in front of her and swinging her Keyblade, forcing the girl back toward the dangerous columns. Terra heads toward Kairi too now, strongly wielding his massive blade. He attacks with an overhead swing, but Kairi beat-attacks and slashes the Keyblade Warrior across the chest. Aqua quickly assists her teammate by casting a barrier around him, blasting Kairi back.
By this point, Riku has landed safely back on his feet and is running over to help Kairi. Terra smashes Kairi's Keyblade out of her hand and it flies across the room. He raises his blade once more for the final blow, but Riku leaps in between. He blocks the oncoming strike and sends several dark fireballs at Terra. The man slightly cries out and doubles over as they burn away at his open gash. Aqua angrily leaps through the air and swings at Riku's head. He ducks and stabs upward as she flies over him, but she casts Reflega as he does so, forcing his key away and causing him to be pushed to the ground. Kairi goes at the mage now, calling her key back and swinging in an agile three-hit combo. Aqua blocks all three, then launches a Thundaga spell. The bolts rain from above, but Riku quickly jumps over Kairi and calls up a barrier, shielding them both. Kairi focuses her energy around her weapon, shrouding Destiny's Embrace in a torrent of water. She whips it forward, striking Aqua across the body. The Keyblade wielder yells and stumbles back, while Riku sees his opportunity and takes it.
He shrouds himself in darkness, rocketing toward his foe with blade out. Aqua blocks out of instinct, but he disappears and shows up in another corner, firing toward her again. She whips around and guards, but he keeps repeating the attack, gaining speed each time. Eventually, the woman becomes overwhelmed and takes multiple strikes of the dark beatings. Terra, recovering and rising up now, silently and solemnly sets his blade at his side, ready to pull it out in a moment's notice. A soft, almost unnoticeable wind blows through the arena, a few cherry blossom petals riding it. The warrior focuses all his strength and vitality, blocking out all other sound. He mentally locks onto his target...and strikes. There is a blur, a loud slice, and Riku crumples to the ground, holding his side.
"Riku!" Kairi yells in worry. Terra slowly turns to face his next opponent, deep earthy eyes locked with hers. Kairi stares back, unshaken by the great Earthshaker. She grips Destiny's Embrace, then yells as she raises it above her head, "Magnega!" A blindingly bright orb of light appears above her, and Terra, who is in range, is suddenly sucked into it. Kairi leaps upward and slices him multiple times while he is left defenseless. Aqua rushes forward to help, but Kairi dispels her with a powerful Waterga spell. Terra lands on the ground and starts to get back up when he sees his foe rushing toward him again. He jolts up, swinging powerfully against Kairi's incoming attack. He blasts her weapon out of the way, leaving her open. Then he flips his key back around her blade and cuts her deeply across the gut. She screams and falls over.
"Kairi!" Riku yells, struggling to his feet and running over to take out Terra. Aqua casts Blizzard under him, causing the ground to ice over and make him slip. This alerts Terra of his presence and gives him time to prepare. Riku leaps back up and swings. Terra easily blocks it. Aqua jumps into the fray, the two Keyblade warriors double teaming against Riku. Kairi weakly tries to get up and aid her comrade. Riku manages to hold off his enemy's attacks, but is in grave danger. Terra relentlessly pounds him with overwhelming blows while Aqua casts magic to furthur hinder him. Eventually, he is forced to leap back away from his adversaries, unable to fight anymore. Panting, he begins to reorient himself. Aqua gracefully bounds toward him, launching a flurry of bubbles. He focuses and blocks them all, but they distract him from seeing that Terra has snuck behind him. Just before the Keybearer can slice Riku down the back, Kairi casts a Watera spell from her place on the floor. It blasts Terra back into a wall, coughing and sputtering. Kairi finishes it with a Blizzara spell that engulfs him and leaves him defeated on the ground. Aqua, seeing Kairi is still fighting, sends a cannon of lightning from the tip of her Keyblade toward the girl. It jolts through her body as Riku cries out in worry. Kairi whimpers and loses conciousness.
Riku fiercely jabs Way to the Dawn forward to run Aqua through. The woman smoothly flips sideways over it, then sends out a Blizzara spell. It collides with Riku and he staggers backward. Aqua continues the assault, jumping toward the teen and nimbly swinging her weapon. He guards, but Aqua uses the attack to flick the defending blade away. Then, with her target open, she kicks Riku to the ground. As he is about to get up, she raises Stormfall and calls upon a tempest, unleashing a powerful Thundaga spell. It rains down and blasts Riku, crushing all the energy left in him. He falls over and Aqua stands as the lone survivor.
Me: So, Team Aqua wins! Poor Riku and Kairi X( but someon's gotta lose. Again, sorry for the wait! Hope you enjoyed! I'll make an effort to update more often
