Starting a New Battle

Ch. 3. Of Hellos and Goodbyes.

"Glade you could make it," Riku said as he ran besides the King. "You couldn't have come at a better time." He slashed trough a couple of Shadows and knocked back a Knight.

"Glad we came in time, Riku," Mickey responded to his silver haired friend, swatting a few Shadows away as well.

Across the battle front, Sora, Donald, and Goofy were confronting, well more like being surrounded by, four Large Bodies. Donald was shooting thundgra, firgra, and blizargra spells at one of the Large Bodies while Goofy was using whirlgra on his one of his own. Sora, of course, was stuck with the last two and was now being bounced between the stomachs of the Large Bodies.

'Damnit! What am I, a ball?!' Sora thought.

'Did you try to regain your footing, Sora?'

'What do you think I'm doing, Roxas?!'

'Looks like you're being thrown around like a toy.'

'…'

'Sora, did you try using two Keyblades?'

'Did you forget, I can't wield two regularly. I need to be in a form to wield two. You know that.'

'But you can wield them without going into a form.'

'You never told me this… why?'

'Never asked.'

'And how, might I ask, do I do that?'

'Concentrate.'

'That's it?'

'That's it.'

'…'

'Sora?'

'I'm getting tired of these two throwing me around!'

At that moment, Sora used the gut of a Large Body to jump into the air and easily destroyed the two Heartless in one swing. Sora stood up and looked confused. 'How did I destroy them both with only one hit?' He then noticed that there was weight in both of his hands. He looked back and nearly jumped. In his right hand, Sora had Oblivion. And in the other, he had Oathkeeper.

'See, it worked. Didn't it, Sora?' Roxas said in a mater-of-fact tone. Sora could almost see him smirking.

'Yea, it did. The only thing is that I have no clue how I did it.' Sora retorted, clearly pissed about that.

Sora suddenly saw a movement in the corner of his eye. He turned just in time to see a Minute Bomb hit 0 and exploded. Where the Minute Bomb came from, and who hit it to activate it, was beyond him. Sora was sent flying into the air. He preformed Ariel Recovery and landed gracefully behind Riku. Riku glanced over his shoulder when he heard a thud. He looked strangely at his chocolate haired friend.

"Sora, when were you able to hold two Keyblades?" Riku was confused out of his mind. "And since when do you fly?"

"Let's just say," Sora answered, "that there was a random Minute Bomb and an annoying, blond haired voice helped." 'Annoying!?!' Roxas shrieked. Sora gripped his head. "Ow! Not annoying, not annoying!" 'Thought so,' Roxas retorted.

Riku couldn't help but laugh. "Roxas givin' you trouble?"

"Naw," Sora said, a grin forming on his lips, "but I think these Heartless need to be taught a few lessons with an Eternal Session or two. Don'tcha think so?"

"Now you're speaking my language, Sora. Let's go." Riku jumped into the air, followed by Sora. First, they preformed Session, then Last Saber, clearing out around 20 Heartless. Dodging a few brave Heartless that thought jumping the duo was a smart idea, Sora and Riku executed Dark Cannon, clearing out another 20. After regaining their footing, the duo used Master Hearts and XII Blades destroying nearly 70 Heartless. Finally, they used All's End, clearing out at least 100, if not more.

Sora and Riku landed with a thud on the ground and waited for the smoke to clear. What they saw left them gasping like grounded fish. Even though they destroyed over 200 Heartless, Sora and Riku barely put a dent in the number of the Heartless. In fact, there seamed to be more than before

"It didn't work… Why the hell didn't it work?!" Sora yelled, shaking a fist and glaring at the sky, hoping for an answer.

Kairi and the other islanders weren't progressing that well themselves. They were able to keep them from advancing but the Heartless just weren't letting up.

"Okay, this is starting to piss me off," Kairi grunted as she pushed away a Neoshadow, one of the many that seamed to like the area of island where the group was positioned. "Is there no end to these things?"

"Doesn't look like it. OW!" Tidus exclaimed as he was thrown aside by a Neoshadow, the same one Kairi just pushed away.

"Tidus, you okay, mon?" Wakka asked as he beat back said Neoshadow.

"Yea, I'm fine." Tidus stood up and kicked a nearby Heartless in the area where a man's 'special spot' resided, making it fall over in pain. "These things have balls?" he asked in amazement, earning himself glares from the others.

"I just hope the others are holding out," Selphie said with worry in her voice, and ignoring Tidus's statement all together.

Meanwhile, Mickey had joined up with Donald and Goofy, who were still trying to destroy the Large Bodies. Mickey easily destroyed them and turned to his gaping subjects. Reading their minds, the King said, "You two do that they can be destroyed from behind, right?" He knew the answer though.

"Uh…" Donald and Goofy both hung their heads with shame. The King just held his face in his hand.

Unknown to everyone, someone, or something, stoop onto of one of the tree houses, grinning, as if it was enjoying the show, or even planning something…

RL: HA! Roxas pissed off Sora. HA!

Sora and Roxas: Not funny.

RL: Whatever.

Heartless that Tidus kicked: -holding crotch- Damn you all, damn you all to hell… -disappears-

RL, Roxas, and Sora: Okay… What the hell?

RL: Well, changing the subject, I make evil cliffies, don't I? Plz, R&R. Just press the little blue button down there.
