Titanic Problem
Ventus stepped into the ring, armor active once again and blinked in surprise. The barrier was a column. And much, much bigger around. It seemed as though the entire arena had grown. Which it may have. Across from him were two enormous pillars of ice. His eyes slowly traveled up the pillars and widened as he grasped exactly what he was up against. It was a creature made entirely of ice, towering over him, easily sixty feet tall. It looked to possible have a reptilian head but it was hard to tell since the ice was only roughly formed into the monstrosity above him.
Ventus summoned his keyblade and the creature roared, the volume making the ground shake. Then, it leaned forward and exhaled, a stream of ice spikes flying out of its mouth at him. Ventus held his keyblade out smirking.
Thank you Aqua, Ventus smiled as his newly replenished strength flowed into his spell. I would definitely have lost if you hadn't taken the time to give me your strength along with healing me.
Fireballs began to fly out of the end of his keyblade, explosions filling his vision as they hit the ice spikes. After a moment, Ventus stopped, rolling to the side, out of the stream and then began again, the fireballs exploding into the creature's head. It roared in pain, staggering backward as Ventus stopped, standing and watching as the creature crashed into the barrier. Lightning began to fly off of the barrier and after a moment, the creature pushed off the barrier, seeming unfazed by the lightning.
"Lightning doesn't affect it," Ventus breathed. "Good to know."
He sprinted forward, meaning to try attacking its legs directly, but before he could reach its legs, it raised a foot, the bottom of its leg breaking off and remaining on the ground. Then, it moved to stomp on him. He rolled aside, the foot crashing into the ground and reforming the bottom part that had broken off before, which was melted and evaporated already. The creature moved its foot back and Ventus stood, spinning his keyblade once as he assessed his options.
"This will be challenging," Ventus grumbled. "Alright. Let's go."
He sprinted forward, rolling aside as the thing tried to stomp on him again, then he stood and slashed at its other leg. His keyblade bounced off of its leg harmlessly. He leapt back, firing several fireballs at the leg but they also failed to do anything. Just as he landed, three massive balls of ice flew at him. He slashed them all aside and noticed that his keyblade failed to leave a mark on them either. He smirked and looked up at the creature again. It roared and spat out several more of the balls of ice. This time, Ventus slashed through the air before they reached him, sending out a wave of compressed wind, launching all of the ice chunks into the creature's shins. It roared in pain, the balls of ice sending cracks spiderwebbing up its legs. Then, one of its shins shattered and it fell to one knee, head falling within reach. He noticed that there were cracks and chips from his fireballs earlier and leapt into the air, slashing at the head. His keyblade stopped against it as he had expected but its head did crack. He grinned, spinning and smashing his keyblade into the other side. He set a foot against the creature's shoulder, smashing his keyblade into the head again and again. Then, the creature roared, the sound so loud it disoriented Ventus, making him fall to the ground, clutching the sides of his helmet. When it stopped, he looked up, seeing it standing on freshly repaired legs again.
He stood as it reached down, swiping its hand across the ground. He dove aside as its clawed fingers tore into the ground, hurling massive chunks of stone across the arena, one of them hitting his left leg and flipping him. He groaned, pushing himself up in time to dive aside from a stomp. He spun, firing a Thunderbolt out of his keyblade's tip at the creature's face and it missed by a hair's breadth, hitting the barrier instead. Then, it shot back out of the barrier and blasted into the creature's head. It reached up, brushing at its head then exhaled a wall of ice spikes at him. He sent an Aero spell at the spikes but it had no effect so instead he began to launch fireballs again. After a moment, he rolled to the side just as a hand swept across the ground again. He hadn't noticed the hand coming due to being busy with the ice spikes, and therefor was unable to dodge it, instead being smashed across the arena into the barrier. He hit hard and was launched back off of it instantly, landing in a heap.
"Great," Ventus growled. "This thing's ridiculously strong."
The creature spat several balls of ice at him and he sent two at one leg and the other at its face. the leg shattered instantly and the other ice ball smashed into its head, sending massive cracks across its head but not breaking the head. The creature fell to its knee, leaning forward and Ventus leapt at it, slamming his keyblade into it then spinning, as he had before. After the second impact, however, he stood on its head, letting his helmet face and covering his ears. Sure enough, the creature roared a moment later, beginning to stand and Ventus was able to stay on its head. It stopped roaring, looking around and Ventus grinned, pulling his keyblade back, the blade beginning to glow bright blue. Then, he smashed the blade into the side of the creature's head and the energy around the blade exploded. The creature staggered sideways and Ventus leapt off before it hit the barrier. He reformed his helmet and hurled his keyblade, forming his Keyblade Glider to catch him. Then, he dropped to the ground and reformed his keyblade as the creature made a fist and dropped to a knee, throwing a startlingly fast punch at him. He rolled out of the way, rolling to his feet before turning and launching a fireball at the creature's face. It raised its other hand, blocking the fireball. Then, it spat the usual balls of Ice at him. When he redirected them, the creature smashed them back at him with a backhand.
"What the..." Ventus shouted, redirecting them again only for the creature to once again redirect them.
Ventus growled in annoyance and slashed twice, sending one at each shin and one at the creature's head. It redirected the two at its shins but the one headed for the head found its mark, smashing completely through the head through the left eye, taking the top left corner of its head with it. Ventus cheered, redirecting the other two again and watched as both shins shattered. The creature landed on its stumps and fell forward, catching itself with its hands. Then, Ventus held his keyblade horizontally behind himself and a glowing sleeve of energy formed over it.
"Enough of this," Ventus growled. "Just die!"
He sprinted forward, jumping and slashing downward at the head as he fell. The energy around his keyblade exploded into a massive blue ball of fire and smoke. The creature reared back, a groan echoing through the arena as it left the smoke, revealing that only the right side of its face and its right eye were left. The moment it cleared the smoke, fireballs began to explode against its face rapidly. Then, finally, the last piece of its head exploded off of its shoulders. Ventus stopped, waiting for the creature to move or die. It simply remained there, sitting back on its half-regenerated shins, arms hanging limply at its sides, and its shoulders smoking. Ventus looked around for an opening in the barrier but saw none. Just as he did, he heard a loud crack and his head snapped back around. Another sounded. This time, Ventus watched as a massive crack split open in its torso, then another, then another. Finally, the entire creature exploded into tiny ice crystals, filling the arena with glittering chunks of frozen water for a moment before they all evaporated and a door opened in the barrier. He sighed, walking through and sitting on his bed, watching the door close. He suspected he knew who he would fight next. Unless something extremely powerful or skilled defeated him first, the man with the strange sword would be his next opponent.
