I am fighting only on instinct now. Competing in the Struggle competition taught me a couple of things about combat, but I have no idea where I learned some of these moves. It's like the sword is guiding me where to go. Could it really be doing that? Or maybe it is tapping into some unknown skill that I have inside me.

Sora jumps towards me, his Keyblade aiming straight for my chest. I just barely deflect him, throwing him into the wet sand nearby. Kairi and Riku try to attack me at the same time. They swing their blades overhead and bring them down hard. I try to hold them at bay with my sword, but I know they are about to overpower me. Quickly, I pull back and swing around, knocking them off balance.

Kairi isn't that big of a threat. She doesn't seem to be as skilled with her Keyblade as the two boys. Riku is much tougher. He has been blocking every hit I try to land. He's strong too. Though it's Sora that I am most worried about. He's not as strong as Riku, but he is fighting with everything he's got. In the flashes of lighting surrounding us, I can see Sora's eyes. His whole being is in this fight.

But so is mine. I'm not willing to back down. Anger is coursing through my veins. This is not just my life on the line. I'm doing this for Roxas. If I fail, not only will I die, but he will be trapped forever. That will not happen. I will not let Roxas suffer anymore. Sora deserves to die for what he's done.

I make a swipe to push Kairi's Keyblade out of the way. My sword goes a little farther than I had planned. Sora quickly jumped in the way to knock the sword away from her. That's how I can get to him. Kairi is going to be the key to defeating Sora. He cares too much about her.

All three of them are approaching me now. They are going to try to overtake me together. They will fail.

I jump up. In the air, I start to flip, turning upside down. The whole world is inverted. Riku takes a swipe at me, but I grab his Keyblade and use my momentum to throw him towards the ocean. Water splashes everywhere as he lands. Sora uses my moment of distraction to do his own flip in the air, but I throw him back into the sand. My feet hit the ground. I bend my knees with the sword held in front of me.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Kairi is looking tired. She can barely stand up straight. But to her credit, she is still holding her Keyblade up.

"Because I will have Roxas back." I'm trying to hide the fact that I am getting a little tired. I've never put myself through this hard of a fight. It's taking a toll on me. I need to take a moment to catch my breath.

"What was Roxas to you?" Sora stands next to Kairi, Keyblade at the ready.

"Everything!"

"But I don't remember you." I think Sora was having a hard time concentrating with all the rain pouring around us. Could I actually be wearing him down?

"Why would you? I don't even know you." He was so arrogant. "All you need to know is that I am someone who loves Roxas and who he loves."

"But Roxas was just a Nobody. He didn't have a heart. He couldn't have loved anyone."

"He did have a heart! He loved me!" How dare he say such a thing? Accusing someone of not having a heart. If anyone didn't have a heart, it's Sora.

I run forward, no longer caring if I was tired or not. All I can feel is my anger. I'm feeding off it, using it to push me. My sword hits Sora's Keyblade hard. Sparks start to fly as we push into each other. He's not backing down from the struggle, but neither am I. I match every bit of his strength.

"Who do you think you are, Sora? You think you can just do whatever you want without thinking about other people. Do you have any idea the pain that you have cause? Do you even care?"

"I've done everything I could to help the worlds. I don't know what I've done to cause anyone pain. You are the one who came here and attacked us."

In the corner of my eyes, I can see Kairi and Riku coming up on either side of us. They think they can try to get the jump of me while I'm busy containing Sora. I won't go down that easily. I've worked too hard to be stopped by these awful people.

"Let's see if you change your mind when I take something that you love away."

I kick Sora in his stomach. He crumples to the ground. Before Riku can make the move that he is about to, I take flight. I move faster than them. Kairi is running towards where Sora is lying on the ground, holding his stomach. Just as quickly as I went up, I landed on the ground behind Kairi.

"Not so fast." Just by thinking about it, I made one of those dark portals open. It unfolded right behind me. I grabbed Kairi by her arms and lifted her off the ground. I started dragging her with me into the portal.

"Let me go!"

Sora jumped off the ground at the sound of Kairi's voice. He and Riku started running towards us. "Kairi! No!"

"Maybe now you will have a change of heart!"

We stepped into the darkness. The portal closed behind us as Sora and Riku ran helplessly towards it.
