Me: Hello again! Like always, I feel bad for not writing very often anymore….plus that last one wasn't that great for such a wait…so here's another one that will hopefully satisfy your thirst for epicness X)
Roxas: If it's epic, then I must be in it.
Axel: *rolls eyes* You're so modest.
Me: This battle was sent in by anonymous reviewer, Demon Child. Thanks for the idea! It's Ven, Terra, and Aqua against Roxas, Axel, and Xion!
Roxas: *smirks* Told ya.
The first team enters the battlefield. Ven calls forth Lost Memories, swinging it around into the familiar backhand position. Aqua chooses Stormfall as her weapon and stands at the ready. Terra is in between the two, leading them into battle, holding Chaos Ripper at his side. Roxas stands directly across from his look-alike, wielding Oblivion and Oathkeeper. Xion faces Aqua with a hard-set expression, gripping Aubade tightly. Axel looks deep into Terra's eyes from across the field. Flames dance down his arms and call out his chakrams. The arena quickly turns into a large cave made entirely of ice that sits on a frozen pillar, extending thousands of feet into the air. An arctic hawk's cry echoes through the barren sky as the only sound for hundreds of miles.
Terra yells and lunges forward, his allies following close behind. Axel, Roxas, and Xion all charge forward to meet their foes. Ven and Roxas clash, teeth bared in concentration. Aqua swings at Xion, who steps over it and counterattacks. Aqua guards it. Axel slams a chakram into Terra's Keyblade, then tries a stab for his gut but Terra blocks the second attack too.
Ven leaps back and shoots Aero from his Keyblade. Roxas runs forward, slices straight through it, and brings his weapons down at Ven. Ven backs off to dodge, coming back in with a hard uppercut. The Nobody is knocked straight into the air and Ven follows through with an aerial combo. At the end of it, Ven smashes Roxas downward with his key. Roxas lands on his feet, springing up into the air and taking his revenge as he pounds Ven back and forth with both blades.
Aqua casts Blizzara, which Xion blocks before sending a Thundara spell at her fellow Keybearer. The blue-haired woman cartwheels to the side as the bolts strike past her, then runs forward and slices at her opponent. Xion yells as the weapon cuts straight across her abdomen. She lands and blocks another combo from her foe before swinging her blade strongly to ward Aqua off. Once Aqua leaps a good distance away from Xion, she points her blade and fires out a Mega Flare spell. Just before it can explode around Xion, Roxas leaps in front of her with a Reflega surrounding him. The massive explosion shakes the whole cave and cracks the floor.
Terra looks over. Axel kicks him in the stomach while he's distracted and knocks him over. He then brings one chakram straight down at his adversary. Terra uneasily blocks it and kicks both feet upward to smash Axel backward. The Keybearer leaps back up and hurls a Fire at his enemy. Axel just stands there and takes the hit. He gives his signature grin. "Thanks for the refresher, buddy. Got it memorized?"
Meanwhile, Xion and Roxas are going head-to-head with Aqua and Ven. Xion strikes relentlessly against Aqua, pushing her backward. The young woman blocks all of the attacks but has no chance to strike back. Roxas forces Ven backward with a flurry of attacks that Ven ducks and weaves away from. Xion breaks Aqua's guard down, then swings overhead for a lethal slash. Ven flips to the side, deflecting the blow in the air, then landing and striking from the side. Xion just barely steps out of the way of it. Roxas jabs toward Aqua, who jumps over it and shoots Thunder. Roxas lets out a small yelp as the spell courses through his body. Recovering instantly, he backflips with both Keyblades out. They hack in an upward attack which Aqua barely blocks. The force pushes her into the air. Xion ducks under Ven's blade as it swoops above her head and casts Fira toward Aqua. Aqua backflips in the air, kicking the fireball and disintegrating it. She lands on her feet and swings her Keyblade to the ready position at her side again.
Terra swings Chaos Ripper like a baseball bat, hurling Axel into the fray on the other side of the cave. Axel lands and immediately must dodge under a Watera and multiple, frenzied Keyblades striking back and forth. As he escapes the clutter unharmed, Terra runs and leaps over the whole group, bringing his weapon down at the redhead. Axel blocks but the incredible force destroys his guard. Terra body checks his open foe into the wall, cracking the cave even more than it already is. Before Terra can strike again, Roxas leaps between him and Axel. The Nobody crosses Oblivion and Oathkeeper into an X to guard Terra's attack, then shoves the weapon backward and swings at his foe. He manages to slice Terra across the chest. Aqua guards a Fire from Xion before launching Blizzaga at Roxas. Axel shoves him out of the way and gets blasted in the gut with the magic. He hunches over.
"Axel!" Roxas yells. Terra growls and raises his Keyblade above his head for the final blow. Roxas runs and dives, praying he's not too late. As he soars over Axel, he turns and guards with his Keyblades. Terra's blade strikes straight downward and connects. Roxas yells and lands on the ground with a fatal wound across his whole body. Terra kicks Axel aside and slowly walks toward the gasping Roxas. Xion struggles to keep herself alive as she tries to get over to her friends to help.
Ven swings in at an angle toward her thighs. She jumps over his Keyblade, lands on it, and pushes off of it. She backflips through the air and lands in front of Roxas as Terra gets closer. He stops in surprise. Xion glares angrily and holds Aubade in the ready stance. Roxas looks up weakly. Xion screams out a war cry and charges fiercely at Terra. "No, Xion!" Roxas yells but it's too late. She's already heading into battle.
Terra stiffens and blocks Xion's first ferocious attack. He pushes her key upward and knees her in the stomach. She is thrown backward but immediately gets back up, completely ignoring any pain that comes her way. She swings again, only to have it blocked once more. She chains together combo after combo but to no avail. Aqua and Ven leap into the fight too, joining their comrade. They all strike with precision and teamwork, flustering Xion and forcing her to block countless attacks that can hardly even be seen. One of Ven's attacks finally hits and Xion falls backward. She quickly rolls to the side as Terra stabs downward. She jumps back up and sidekicks Terra in the head. He groans and falls to the side. Ven swings straight across himself as he leaps at the girl. Xion spins backward to avoid it and counters with a Fire. It hits Ven in the chest and gives Xion some space.
Aqua flies forward with a barrier surrounding her and smashes into Xion. Xion cries out and is thrown forcefully into a wall. She slumps to the ground as the cracks in the cave grow even larger. There is a rumbling followed by a violent vibration. The contestants look around wide-eyed. It stops for a moment. Then the entire cave collapses and cracks. The warriors yell in shock and brace themselves as they plummet downward. Xion reaches out through the air toward the unconscious Roxas, gripping him tightly once she grabs him. The battered Axel falls beside her and looks for a bottom to the seemingly-endless drop. Ven, Terra, and Aqua plummet behind the Nobodies. Aqua points Stormfall at her enemies and uses Blizzard. Axel whips around and blocks it. Ven shoots downward and strikes at Xion, who is protecting Roxas. Axel glides in front of her and blocks, using Fira afterward to blast the blonde back up toward his allies. Terra hurls his key down with a Strike Raid move. Axel guards again, but this time with more difficulty. After Terra regains his blade, the three Keyblade Warriors rocket downward to meet their foes. Axel blasts Terra with Firaga. Aqua and Ven slip past him and go for Xion. She uses one hand to block both Keybearer's attacks while holding Roxas with the other. Ven strikes back and forth repetitively while Aqua flips forward with key pointed outward.
Xion flips backward away from Aqua's attack while guarding Ven's strikes with Reflecta. She then casts Thundaga which strikes from high above, blasting not only Aqua and Ven, but also Terra, who is locked in combat with Axel. Terra grimaces and passes out. Xion sends away her key and quickly reaches into her pocket. She takes out an Ether and quickly chugs it. Ven pushes through the pain of the spell and stabs straight downward at Xion. The girl calls her Keyblade back just in time to block, but Ven swings to the side now and lands a hit. He follows it up with a full-out combo and Xion is defenseless. She falls limply from the air, Roxas slipping from her arms and falling in front of her. Aqua aims at Xion with a Blizzard forming at the tip of her blade, but Axel rushes down and stabs a chakram into her back before she can launch it. Roxas slowly blinks awake to see Xion falling unconsciously beside him and Ven descending with his key pointed outward towards her back. Before he can even take in his surroundings or gather himself, Roxas calls out Oathkeeper and rolls in front of Xion to block the forceful attack. Ven keeps pounding at him and the blonde Nobody clenches his teeth as he barely blocks the combos.
Suddenly, Axel shoots down from above and swings at Ven. The boy sees him just in time and rolls to the side. He counters with an Aerora that pushes Axel backward. Roxas swings upward but Ven guards the attack. Roxas unleashes a 3-hit combo while Axel rushes in for another thrust with his lethal weapons. Ven guards Roxas' attacks, then ducks down under Axel as he comes in, jabbing straight up. Axel opens his mouth but no sound comes out as he quickly fades to nothing. Roxas doesn't have time to be shocked before Ven kicks him directly in the face. He spirals downward and shakes off the impact to look back up at his foe. Anger boiling inside him, he goes into Limit Mode with a flash of blinding light. Ven shields his eyes as his foe rockets upward toward him. Ven quickly guards as Roxas plows past. The force blasts Ven backward and destroys his guard. Roxas swoops back in for a second attack, ripping past Ven with a trail of light. Ven grabs his side, which is now sliced open and bleeding. Roxas goes into a fury of pounding combos. Ven guards weakly but can't hold out against the attacks for long.
The beaten and injured Ven tries to keep himself awake as Roxas exits Limit Mode, panting and on the verge of passing out. The two look-alikes charge towards each other with their Keyblades drawn. A brilliant light blasts outward as they clash. They land on the ground, back-to-back with each other. They both stand still for a moment. Then, Roxas falls forward onto his hands and knees, holding his stomach with a pained expression. Ven glances behind him as his foe falls to the ground and slowly fades. The Keyblade Warrior breathes heavily and is covered in gashes, bruises, and scrapes. He looks up to see Xion's body fall down from the sky. He catches her in his arms. Terra and Aqua are caught by Reflect and set lightly on the ground. Ven looks down sadly at the black-haired girl and then lightly places her on the floor. Walking over to his fallen friends, he takes out his Wayfinder. "Sorry," he whispers before he and his friends disappear.
Me: Yay! That was a good match, I think:) I'm trying to make people win that wouldn't usually win…
Roxas: Yeah, great.
Ven: I said sorry!
Roxas: Sorry doesn't cut it. Get me some ice cream.
Ven: Well, excuse me!
Sora: Sore loser, are we?
Roxas: *punches*
Me: Well, thanks so much for reading, folks! :D Hope you liked it! Don't forget to push that little review button ;D Should be another battle coming soon!
