I do not own anything except this story
Bursts of energy could be seen from a mile away from the clash of these two beings. The air was filled with blurs of the two individuals clashed with great strength, trying to overcome the other. The arena known as the Sky Fortress shook from the force coming from these two.
Kuja used his orbs as a whip and snapped at Roxas, who blocked with his Keyblades, but was sent down to the ground because of the force. Luckily, he was able to land on his feet and stayed on the ground with his enemy gliding over him.
"Well now, that wasn't bad at all." commented Kuja.
Roxas snorted as he looked up at his floating enemy; his face was full of arrogance as he looked down at his opponent, "Oh please, I don't need your praise."
"That wasn't praise, I was just complementing on how you survived against me this long."
The blonde raised an eyebrow as the angel continued, "In the end it doesn't matter what you do, and you've sealed your fate just by challenging me. So just make this easy for everybody and disappear."
"Oh really? Well, you can go and take your logic right up where the sun don't shine!" the teen responded as he got back into his battle stance.
Not taking this too kindly, Kuja dove straight towards Roxas, conjuring up fire balls the size of his head and threw as he accelerated. Flipping backwards, Roxas performed a Duel Raid at the fire balls causing them to be destroyed, with the Keyblades heading towards its target. The blue orbs around Kuja enlargened and blocked the Keyblades. However, when he did, his vision was clouded as he did not see Roxas from under, with the teen reclaiming his Keyblades.
The blonde slashed the
Genome's leg before landing. His action caused his opponent to hiss in anger more than pain.
"There! There!" Kuja cried out as he shot his orbs in a straight line, which Roxas simply side-stepped from and rushed forward. Kuja quickly brought back his orbs, causing his opponent to flip over him and slashed at his back. The agent of Chaos spun around the attacked and went for the opening. He threw more fire balls at the blonde and damaged him.
Crying out in pain, the Keyblade wielder had no time to focus as some force reeled him in towards Kuja, whose orbs once again enlargened and hit its target up. In a blur, he was right behind Roxas, "Take this!" he bellowed as red energy busted forward. Quickly, Roxas twisted around the attack and kicked his enemy in the face, pushing away from him. Before he could recover, Kuja was sliced by the thrown Keyblades of Roxas that sent him to the ground with the latter landing safely with his blades flashing back into his hands.
Growling, Kuja gathered purple energy in both of his hands and raised them into the air. Above Roxas, a purple cloud appeared, crackling with energy, a barrage of magical orbs came to life as is rained down on Roxas. Luckily, the nobody dashed away from attack before the orbs even formed. Unfountainly, that was what Kuja was planning.
The angel once again disappeared behind Roxas before grabbing him by the hood and throwing him up. He then conjured up and threw a blue sphere of holy magic upward, towards Roxas, as the blonde flipped through the air. The teen was able to regain his bears as the sphere closed in on him and with great accuracy, threw Oblivion at the sphere.
A bright filled the area, causing Kuja to be blind by the light, giving Roxas an opening. The Keyblade wielder hovered for a moment before coming down like a meteor. His blades flashed beams of twilight around them as he sliced though his opponent cleanly.
Kuja's mouth opened but no words came out before falling to his knees. Darkness began to smoke from him as he disappeared without saying a word.
Dismissing his Keyblades, Roxas flexed his arms before sighing relief, one "One less headache to deal with now." he muttered in relief. He pulled off that one because of sheer luck that he knew what to do in that exact situation. But now that brought up the question on how he knew? At that moment he let his body do the work like it had done it before. For some reason, it felt like a far off memory…
Yeah, that's it. Muscle memory.
In could be, due to the fact that he's done that move in the air before and his body just reacted the same way. Those movements were from memories of his past. But just when did he do that?
Shrugging, Roxas went to continue his mission. He'll remember in due time. Right now, he had a world to save from discord.
And he'll do it with the new power that represents the path he has chosen for himself

Footsteps echoed in the Prima Vista as the Superior In-Between walked though the area. It's been a while since Xemnas' encounter with Lighting and has been just passing through ever since. He's been watching, observing his enemies' actions wondering what they were planning.
He's been disappointed so far.
The warriors of harmony actually split up to try and out run the so call manikins. Unknown to them, the manikins are an unlimited force, that can't be stopped. They were found by that fool Exdeath at the gate of the Rift and have been coming out, nonstop. Cosmos' champions do not know the threat they are dealing with and it seems it was going to be kept like that.
Until, the Cloud of Darkness told one of them. Now that was a mystery, even to the greater nobody himself. Why would to reveal such a thing? Why lose the unwavering advantage they had since the beginning? Just because they were puppets that were not meant to exist?
The sliver-haired man snorted. He knew the feeling, though that's just a figure of speech. He was a Nobody, a mere shell of a coward who succumbed to the dark side, but had a heart strong enough to make him exist. He has no heart, he only has a mind and body – he's not even supposed to exist, at all. He feigned a sigh. But yet here he is, an inviolable existence, roaming the earth with no purpose at all. By some perspective, he wasn't much different than a Manikin. Hell, he probably would count as one if he didn't have a mind. But if he didn't have a mind, then he wouldn't have sense that power from afar.
It felt foreign, yet familiar. But it was not quite Light and not quite Darkness. But it was like the two elements have come in peace with each other to form a new power unknown to any being until now. It was in-between the two, in a new form that has been given birth by Light and Darkness melding together as one.
With his hands behind his back, Xemnas continued to walk in slowly until he heard the clashing of metal. Quickly, he hid behind one of the buildings before looking at the source. He saw two figures. One of them had purple, draconic armor and a lance. While the other was one the ground and was blonde with a tail.
"Kain…how could you?" Wheezed out the one on the ground in pain at the man in front of him. Were they allies? Then why did the one in purple attack the other?
A twisted smile made its why on Xemnas' face.
"In the end, danger changes to opportunity." he muttered to himself. This was his chance to take out two of Cosmos' agents in one go. This war is going to be easier than he thought. Putting up his hood, the greater nobody let blue energy crackle in his right hand with his eyes locked on the man in the armor.
Showtime.

Kain looked down at his fallen ally and sighed. He hated this, taking down his allies in order to put them to sleep, but he couldn't take any chances. They needed to be taken down in order for them to awaken in the next cycle of battle. For them to be able to get the crystals in the next phase and end this war.
Even if he had to become a villain himself.
While he was occupied with his thoughts, the dragoon didn't notice a ball of energy hurling towards him until it was too late. The ball hit him straight in his armored chest and sent him flying to the edge of the arena. He looked up to see a man with a strange black cloak with a hood obscuring their face.
"A warrior of Chaos, I presume." Hissed Kain as he struggled to get on his knees. He didn't have to be a genius to recognize the aura of destruction a champion of discord had in this war.
"Indeed and here I was looking for enemies to defeat, but it seems you beat me to the punch…Against your own comrade." the hooded man stated while looking over to the now unconscious Zidane.
"And what if I did?"
The dragoon could have sworn the other man was smirking, "Then you've made my job a lot easier. You know what they say "kill two birds with one stone" "he goaded while staring down his prey, "A friend turning on friend, huh? I guess, it never pays to be loyal to one's heart, I'll be sure to remember that." He stated while raising his left hand that with crackled and hissed with his nihilistic energy as he walked over to the edge.
"Return to nothing."
A sparking azure sphere sliced through the air and made its way to Kain with no stalling. However, the black-coated man failed to realize that the dragoon has been charging up his signature move in his feet in order to jump. At the last minute, the armored man up into the heavens, over the sphere aimed for his head, and to his fallen comrade. With one hand, the man in purple hooked the monkey boy and once again jumped, even further than before, away to safety from the black-coated man.

Xemnas was not pleased.
Not at all.
He actually let that draconic man get away with his former comrade, with him being already injured. Now that was embarrassing to his very non-existence. Luckily, no one was there to see his shame and would like to keep it that way. But the next time he sees that man… he'll be sure to send him into oblivion.
Shrugging, the greater nobody opened a corridor to Darkness. Why let his hands get dirty? Let the puppets do it for him. He'll just sit back and enjoy the show until its necessary to interfere.
Not that he'll need to.
XXXX
Screams of Manikins filled the area as they fell from Roxas' Keyblades. Sighing, the nobody put OathKeeper over his shoulder in thought.
Why the hell were there so many puppets in this world? For each one that was slain, another two of those cursed beings. It was like an endless game he couldn't win.
He absently scratched his hair with Oblivion as he looked around the area to get away from his thoughts. From not too far away, he discovered a familiar pinkette with her gunblade out, "Lighting!" he exclaimed getting her attention and ran towards her direction.
Her eyes widened, in what looked like surprise and relief as he ran up to him, "Roxas! Your okay!"
Once he reached her, the blonde stopped and smiled at her looking up, "Yep, still alive and kicking." he stated with a smirk.
The solider let a small smile creep on her face in response, "Good, I thought Kain got you." she said the name with some venom.
The teen lost his smirk, "Kain? What's he got to do with this?"
Lighting's eyes looked away as she continued, "Kain, he…betrayed us. I saw him take down one of our own with my very eyes." She said with a little bit of repressed anger. She sighed before continuing, "Though, I don't know what his intentions are, I'm pretty sure he's shown his true colors." she explained.
Silence occurred between the two before Roxas broke it, "So…what happens now?" he asked almost timidly.
"We need to get to Cosmos and see if the others made it." she then motioned her head to the Sanctuary's direction, "Come, we have much to do and an unknown amount of time to do it." the blonde nodded and followed, hoping everything would turn out okay.
