Chapter Eight-Sora vs Leon
"Before we start this showdown Sora," Leon began as he draw his weapon at front of him. "Do you remember the first fight we had back in Traverse Town? It ended in a draw."
"Oh yeah how can I forget that. It almost slipped my mind. Well, maybe this will be a good opportunity to break that tie." In instant Sora vanished without a trace leaving Leon clueless where he went. Sensing a presence behind him, Leon's gunblade collided with the keyblade blocking Sora's attack.
"I won't be easily fool Sora," Leon smirked. The lone warrior then used his blade to push Sora away from him. Sora flipped back landing on the ground and in a split second Leon was charging towards him. Their blades collided once more as Leon went of the offensive attack, while Sora was defending himself from his vicious attacks.
"Why won't you attack?" Leon inquired, swinging his gunblade left to right as Sora defended himself.
"You want me to attack you?" Sora's golden eyes lit up and suddenly he vanished again and then reappeared several feet away from Leon, grinning evilly. "Then you've just gotten your answer."
Leon furrowed his brows together since he didn't understand what Sora meant by his words. He felt something warm trickling down his chest to his abdomen. His blue gazed upon a small cut on his white shirt and also spotted blood. How the hell? When did he? Leon thought when he looked up at his enemy grinning at him.
"I'm fast Squall. My speed has increase so rapidly that I can disappear without you knowing I attacked you." Sora stated, twirling his keyblade in his hands. "Now where were we? Oh yeah...me killing you now"
With lighting speed, Sora charged towards the Gunblade warrior, slicing Leon in the shoulder, who wasn't fast enough to react to the the sudden attack.
Leon stood his ground for the next attack Sora did and blocked it successfully, then counter attack when he saw an opening, but Sora vanished again, and once more appearing behind Leon and slash him from behind.
Leon cried when the blade cut through his back, but quickly recovered and swung his blade to the left where Sora appeared again, blocking another attack.
"Leon!"a voice shouted from a distance.
Sora's golden eyes glanced towards the direction of the voice and he spotted a woman running towards the battle scene. Leon recognized that voice as Tifa. He was glad that she was coming to his aid but he didn't want her to get involve in this fight. "Tifa! Stay back!" Leon yelled.
"Tifa?" Sora said her name quietly, suddenly remembering the girl he met that was looking for her friend Cloud. "I don't think this fight would be fair if she gets involved."
When Tifa approached Leon, she felt her body being levitated off the ground. "What's going on?" Tifa asked dumbfounded.
Leon saw Sora holding out his hand and instantly realized that he was using telekineses on Tifa. Suddenly, he move his hand to the right and Tifa's body crashed through to the wall. "Tifa!"
As Tifa's body was held against the wall, Sora summoned four dark chains that attached to her hands and legs against the wall. "What is this?" The female fighter tried struggling her way out of the dark chains.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Sora suggested while waving his index finger. "Those chains will take your energy away as you try to force your way out. Even if you though somehow break free your body will be numb and you won't have no energy to challenge me." The keyblade master turned his attention back to his opponent. "Now, shall we continue our duel?"
Leon gritted his teeth while gripping the handle of his gunblade. He pressed his brows together trying to think of a plan to win this fight. He knows that close up attacks won't work on Sora, since he's too fast for him to hit. He thought perhaps if he can keep his distance and try long-range attacks, maybe he'll have a chance.
It's risky but it might just work. Here it goes.
"Lionstrike!" Leon smashed his gunblade to the ground causing an earthquake and bolt of energy to surge towards Sora. The young keyblade master smirked as his dark aura deflected Leon's energy attack.
So he wants to attack from long-range now. Pathetic. I'll show him long-range attacks.
"Imitate." Sora copied of Leon's attack and instead of just one bolt of energy like Leon's, his were three surging at Leon.
Leon dodged the attack by jumping up into the air and he was suddenly surprise that Sora's version of the attack was following him. Damnit there following me.
"Leon! Sora's behind you look out!" Tifa cried out for her companion. She was still trying to force her way out of the chains that attached her to the wall.
From the corner of eyes, Leon saw Sora in the air about to attack him and Leon fully turned his attention to Sora.
The brunette smirked and vanished before attacking him. With the distraction cause by Sora, Leon forgot about the three energy attacks that were following him and he was then struck by them. Blood gushed out of Leon as the attack viciously struck him. The lone fighter thought he was dead.
N-no....Ri-...noa
Tifa watched in horror as Leon fell to the ground with a crashing thump. She closed her eyes not wanting to see another friend in a bloody state. She couldn't believe this was happening. All of her friends were going to die.
Leon lay on the ground, stomach flat, as his blood sprawled from beneath him, creating a small puddle of red. His eyes gazed upon his gunblade which was barely in his right hand. The more he stared at his weapon, the more he thought about his hometown being destroy by the countless of heartless. He was saddened that he didn't protect the people he promised to protect from any danger.
His mind then thought about the people at Radiant Garden. He promised to protect these people with his heart. Now he was failing to keep that promise because he was on the verge of dieing. He couldn't give up now. He still has one more attack. He still has a promise to keep. He still has love for her.
Rinoa....
Suddenly, Leon felt the urge to keep fighting again. His heart was beating rapidly. He grabbed his gunblade again and gripped it tightly as he could. Sora watched in amusement as he saw Leon struggled to stand on his feet.
"I can't give up...not yet," Leon quietly said. "I promise these people that I would protect them from any danger. My heart still suffers from before...and I'm not letting you ruin that for me again...Sora." The lone fighter stood up and stumbled a bit, but regain his balance as he held the gunblade out in front of him, panting as the blood pour from his body and onto the ground.
"I'm impressed that you still have the heart to fight me. Even after that fatal attack you're still able to stand." Sora then pointed his blade at Leon. "C'mon Squall, try your best shot at me!"
"Leon don't do it! Sora is too strong for you to defeat! You can kill yourself!" Tifa warned.
Leon ignored her warning. His mind wasn't focus about being kill. Death didn't matter to him at the moment. His mind was on defeating Sora and keeping his promise. Then flows of energy began emerging from Leon and his gunblade as it started to glow a bright yellow. "LIONHEART!" Leon cried out, rushing towards Sora.
The young keyblade master shook his head as he watch Leon charging towards him. Leon attempted the Lionheart attack but Sora instantly counter the attack catching Leon by surprise. No one has ever blocked or counter his Lionheart attack.
Countering the attack, Sora did his trinity attack, slicing and cutting Leon up. When he is done, Leon was on the ground again, barely breathing to stay alive. Sora walked over towards him and stomped Leon on his chest and pointed his Unknown keyblade at him.
"I win," Sora coldly said. "I would love to stay and fight your friend over there, but I sense that Riku and Kairi has already arrived here. If you want to tell them where I'm heading next, tell him I have a meeting with the King." Sora then turned his attention back to Tifa and walked over towards her. "As for you, I'll deal with you next time."
Tifa glared at the brunette teen. "I'm going to kick your ass when I see you," she retorted.
Sora smirked. "We'll see." Then he vanished.
The chains that trapped Tifa also vanished and was dropped to the ground free. Tifa tried to stand up, but her legs were numb and they buckled beneath her. "Damnit, he was right about those chains." Her wine eyes glanced over to her wounded comrade. "I hope he isn't dead." She crawled over towards him since hers legs were numb.
"Leon," Tifa called to him. She saw that he had his eyes close, but was slowly breathing. His once clean outfit was now covered in his own blood.
Leon slowly opened his eyes and saw Tifa's wine eyes staring at him. He smiled a little. "You know, Cloud told me about your concerns about him. Your always wondering where he is and hoping he was okay."
Tifa smiled and nodded. "Don't worry Leon your going to make it, so just hang in there."
"I guess this is it for me. I didn't even write her back yet. It'll be sad that I read my last letter from her and it has to end like this."
"It's not over yet. You will write her back soon so don't give up."
"Hey! You guys alright!"
Tifa looked up and saw a silver haired boy with aquamarine eyes, running towards them. She didn't recognized this person but she remember Leon telling her about one of Sora's friend name Riku, with long platinum hair and same color eyes. "You must be Riku right?"
Riku nodded. "Yeah, I'm Riku and you must be Tifa. The others told me about what happen earlier. So where is Sora?"
Tifa shook her head. "You've just missed him."
Riku sighed and kneel down to Leon. "Is he alright?"
"He's alive but barely."
Riku summoned his Way Of Dawn keyblade and pointed it towards Leon. A flow of energy surrounded the keyblade and then it went through Leon, healing him in the process.
"So your also a keyblade wielder?"
"Yeah I am."
"That must be cool then. I thought Sora was the only keyblade wielder since I haven't seen any others around."
"There are others believe me but just like you I haven't seen any of them around." Riku's Way of Dawn stopped healing Leon and Riku disarmed it. "He'll be fine but he has to recover on his own. Help me carry him back to the house alright."
Tifa went to help Riku carry Leon back to the house after getting the feelings back in her legs. As they were on their way back to Merlin's house, Tifa was thinking about everything that happened so far.
I have no idea what's going on here but I wish we can get it settle as soon as possible. I don't know what has gotten into Sora the last time I've seen him but something tells me it has to do with whatever happened back home. Tifa then glanced towards the sun that was starting to set. Cloud wherever you are, I hope you help us out like you've always done before because we really need you right now.
Okay, I'm done with chapter eight and honestly this chapter probably didn't live up to its hype. That's because it's really hard to right a kingdom hearts fight scene, compare to hand-to-hand combat which is easier. I guarantee you that the fight scenes will get better okay. Sorry, no Axel in this chapter, but I promise next chapter he will have that short scene. I hope you guys like what I did for Squall. His fighting to protect the people he promise. Even though I mention Riona, she will not make an appearance in this fic. (I think) Anyway, your in for another surprise next chapter.
Also, back in KH one, I remember that even if you beat Leon, he is still victories, so thats why I mention in my version that they ended in a draw.
Read and review.
