Chapter Nine-A Tragedy and a Savior
"So what do we do now?"
Tifa looked away from Leon for a second, who was getting his wounds clean by Aerith after his fight with Sora, towards Riku. "I have no idea. I guess the best option we have right now is to find wherever Sora is heading."
Riku nodded and folded his arms crossed his chest. "Yeah, but he could have gone anywhere."
"True," Tifa said agreeing with him. "Something about Sora bugs me though. He was such a nice guy when I first met and all of a sudden he turns evil. Do you guys know what happen to Sora ?" Tifa asked curiously, staring at both Riku and Kairi.
Kairi stiffened when Tifa asked them the question. She didn't know whether to tell her or not. If she did, they will probably think it was their fault. Then again, it was their fault. "W-we..."
"Don't know what happened to him..." Riku lied, cutting of Kairi. He had a feeling that Kairi would have told her the the truth. "All we know is that he started acting strange when he went to visit him at his home. Then he attacked us at the beach."
Kairi furrowed her at her boyfriend. She was wondering why he didn't tell truth? He perhaps had the same thought about like she had.
"I know where he went," Leon said standing up when Aerith finished bandaging up his wounds and slipping back on his shirt and jacket. "He said he was going to meet the king which means it isn't going to be good when he arrives there. We should leave now," Leon suggested.
"You can't go Leon. Your wounds aren't fully heal yet. If you go out and fight Sora again, you might get hurt again," Aerith warned him.
Leon nodded agreeing with her, but he didn't want to stay behind. "I understand but I must go. The king needs all the help he needs, even if just one person. Who know what Sora will do to him."
"How are you ya'll goin to get to the King's castle by the way?" Cid asked the group.
"I can open portals with my keyblade," Riku answered. "We'll get there soon enough." Then his aquamarine eyes laid on Kairi. "You should stay here Kai."
"What?! I'm not staying here Riku. I'm here to help bring Sora back!"
"It's getting to dangerous right now Kairi!" Riku argued back. "Besides Sora isn't himself anymore if can you see. You'll vulnerable and I don't want to see you get hurt."
"Sora is still Sora and you know that Riku. Just because he's acting different doesn't mean the real Sora is still inside of him. I know I can get through him, even if I'm not as powerful as you, Leon or Tifa!," Kairi cried.
Tifa put on small smile when she watched Kairi talk to Riku. She's stubborn just like me, yet she's has a very strong heart. Tifa thought. "She should come with us, Riku."
Riku glanced up at Tifa and then back at Kairi. He knows Kairi can very stubborn at times and knows that she will come along no matter how many times he tells her no. In the end, he sighed in defeat. "Fine, but don't put yourself in harms way."
"We're wasting time here. Who knows that what kind of havoc Sora is doing right now to the castle," Leon said impatiently.
Riku pointed his keyblade towards the wall and a small light appeared at the tip of the blade. Then the light surged towards the wall, opening up a portal and the group of four went through the portal and vanished.
"I gotta get me one of those," Cid quietly said to himself.
The World That Never Was
A sound of a keyblade falling to the ground on the dark streets alerted the red and black jumpsuit figure that he has lost the battle. He was kneeling on one knee, head hanging low as the cloak figured in front of him stood victories.
He then pointed his red and sliver Chakrams at him. "Where is Roxas? I can't feel his presence anymore, so tell me where he is?!"
The figure smirked underneath his mask, even though it couldn't be seen. "You're asking the wrong guy. Perhaps the one name Sora should know. After all, Roxas is his nobody."
Sora? Cloaked figure thought. The name oddly seems familiar to him. "Then where is he? I must know."
The unknown figure stood up on his two feet and grabbed his dark keyblade. "You'll have to find Sora on your own." The red and black figure started walking away from his opponent.
"Who are you?"
The questioned cause the figure to stop. "...You think I'll be wearing this outfit if I wanted to let you know who I was?" Before the cloak figure could respond, the red and black figure vanished with a trace, leaving the cloak figure bewildered.
Disney castle
Two figures tumbled down the steps and laid there on the cold floor unconscious. "Donald, Goofy!" King Mickey shouted as he stood in front of the Cornerstone of Light.
The king heard an evil laugh echoed through the room. Footsteps could be heard coming down the steps and the king held up his waiting for the culprit to appeared. Moments later, the evil laugh and footsteps died down, but the king still kept his guard up.
"Are you looking for someone, King?"
The king's eyes widened and just as he turned around, he was met with an energy blast coming straight towards him.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Queen Minnie shouted as she ran down the steps to save her husband, but it was too late. She watched in horror as the energy blast hit the king and he had no time to react. After the sudden attack was over, the Queen covered her mouth and was in tears. Her husband was gone and the only thing that remind of him was his golden keyblade. Her watery ears glanced over towards the person that killed her husband. "S-Sora...w-why?" She cried, tears falling from her eyes.
An evil grinned formed on Sora's lips. His golden eyes gazed over from the golden keyblade that laid on the ground, to Queen Minnie. "Why you ask? He was weak that's why!" He laughed. "If anyone should be king, it should be me!" The brunette pointed to himself.
"But S-Sora what happened to you?"
"I had a change of heart," Sora said as his golden orbs shifted to the glowing huge orb known as the Cornerstone of Light. He ran his smoothly across the glowing orb. Sora was fascinated how orb feels when he softly touched it. "It feels so…light," Sora whispered to himself. Then he turned around to face the Queen once more. "I wondered what will happen if I infect the light?"
"No! Please don't Sora!" The Queen Minnie pleaded. "Please don't harm the castle and the other worlds."
"Sorry your majesty," Sora smirked, as he held his Unknown Keyblade. "It must be done!" Then Sora stabbed the Cornerstone of Light with his keyblade. Slowly the orb started to change to dark purple and the glass began to crack.
Oh no… The Queen thought watching the Cornerstone of Light being infected with the darkness. When Sora pulled his keyblade out of the huge orb, the orb finally shattered into millions of pieces, causing a flow of dark energy to release and spread throughout the castle and the rest of the world.
Sora was proud of himself that his chaos was beginning. With dark energy surrounding the castle and the other worlds, no one will be able to stop him. Sora then turned to the Queen once more and slowly started to approach her, smirking evilly. The Queen started backing up slowly away from Sora. When her back hit the wall, she knew had nowhere to go. "Please, Sora, don't do this!"
"Do what?" Sora tilted his head. "Kill you." He then raised his keyblade ready to strike the Queen.
"NOOOO!" Queen Minnie cried loudly as the keyblade was coming down to kill her.
Suddenly, Sora's keyblade was knocked out of his hands and then he was kicked across the hall. "What the hell?! Who attacked me?!" Sora shouted angrily, wanting to know who interrupting his killing on the Queen.
"I did!" A feminine voice said.
Sora spotted the voice and saw Tifa, alongside with Riku, Kairi and Leon. He retreated his keyblade and stood up with a frown upon of his face. "You ruin my opportunity to kill the Queen! No matter, I already killed the King." Sora smirked.
The group spotted the keyblade which belong to King Mickey on the ground. Riku's eyes widened and they darted back to Sora, glaring in anger. Riku's blood began boiling and he gripped his keyblade tightly around the handle. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Try me again Riku and see what happens." Sora smirked. "The darkness has already begun spreading around the world."
"What?"
"He infected the Cornerstone of Light which caused it to break and release huge amount of darkness to the worlds. I fear the heartless are already beginning they're mayhem," The Queen said.
Then suddenly, dozens of heartless appeared from beneath the ground surrounding the room.
"Great, now we have to fight them again," Leon mumbled taking out his gunblade.
Riku turned to Kairi and the Queen. "Kairi get the queen to a safe place quickly."
Kairi nodded and quickly left the hall with the Queen beside her while the other stayed behind, preparing to fight the heartless.
"I don't need your help!" Sora proceeded attacking the heartless which surprised Riku, Tifa and Leon.
Why is he attacking the heartless? Riku thought.
"Ahhh! Enough of this. I'll let you guys handle these worthless garbage," Sora said when he vanished from the room.
"So he attacks the heartless and leaves the rest to us? Aren't they on his side?" Tifa asked.
Riku shrugged. "I don't know, Tifa, but I'm going after him." The sliver-haired teen started to take off, but Tifa grabbed him by the shoulder stopping him from leaving.
"I'll go find him. You two had your chances. I think it's time for me to show Sora some martial arts," A smile crept on her face.
"Alright then Tifa go ahead. After we're done with these heartless we'll come for you if you need any help."
Tifa nodded and ran back up the steps to the audience chamber leaving Riku and Leon to fight the dozens of heartless.
On the roof of Disney Castle, Sora watched the sky turned dark as the darkness consumed around the castle. His chaos was starting and soon he will have everyone on their knees begging for his forgiveness. He glanced down to his keyblade, seeing the dark aura surrounding it. It was getting stronger by minute because of darkness it was absorbing.
"There you are!" Tifa pointed at Sora and then got into her fighting stance. "I told you before I was going to kick your ass, right?"
Sora turned around smirking at her. "Yeah, I didn't forget that Tifa. Let's see if you can back up those words of yours."
Tifa smirked and then charged towards Sora. She threw a right punch at Sora, but he dodged with ease and he used his keyblade to slice at her shoulder. Tifa grimaced at the sharp pain but shook it off quickly. She grabbed Sora's keyblade, blocking it from attacking her again. Then she pulled it towards her, causing Sora to stumble towards her fist.
Sora staggered backwards and felt blood escaping his lips. He licked his own blood slowly, which creep out Tifa for a moment. "That was the first time someone has ever hit me. Sadly it will be your last."
In a flash, Sora cut Tifa's chest with his keyblade, then again cut her behind her back. Tifa winced at he both her deep cuts, but she still stood. Sora came at her again with lighting speed, and this time Tifa dodged his attack and attempted a high kick, but Sora grabbed her leg and tossed her towards the wall.
Seeing her down, Sora walked up to her and grab by her neck, lifting her causing Tifa to choke. He walked over to the edge of the roof, and look below him. Tifa saw what he was about to do to her and struggled to get free. She started hitting his arm but Sora still held her by her neck. "By your reaction, I guess you're afraid of height, huh?" Sora laughed. "Too bad there's no one here to save you, shame that Cloud isn't here to see you die!" Sora suddenly released Tifa's neck and she began falling from the castle.
This is is…I'm gone. Tifa thought as she was falling. He said that he will rescue me if I needed it…I guess he's not coming after all…
When Tifa closed her eyes waiting for impact of her body hitting the hard ground, it never came and felt her body not descending at anymore, but being held. When she opened her eyes, she saw blond spikey hair. It can't be
Then the person who was holding her landed on the top of Disney Castle and set her down on her feet, Tifa couldn't believe it he came after all.
Sora's narrowed his eyes at the intruder that interrupted, yet, another killing he was attempting. "…Cloud," he quietly growled.
The former SOLDIER turned around slowly, his mako eyes narrowing at Sora. "Looks, like I came in the nick of time…"
