Chapter 9: Ven
Sora grunted as he rolled away from the giant crow.
"Come on!" He yelled. Sora swatted at the bird as it swooped down but missed.
The bird flapped its wings as it created the dark wind the shark had made.
Sora used a Reflecta spell to protect him from it, but he still heard the voices of Terra's memories that came from the wind.
The crow was foolish enough to swoop down at Sora as his spell exploded. The bird shrieked as the explosion swallowed it.
"Yeah!" Sora cheered.
But the bird spiraled into the air with barely a scratch.
Sora sighed as he tapped into his clothes hidden power. A flash of light and he turned into his Final form, his Kingdom Key and Star Seeker floating behind him.
The bird dived again but Sora jumped into the air onto its back and blasted it with a flurry of spells. The bird cried in pain as Sora stabbed his Keyblades into the birds back, darkness poured out. The bird crashed into the wall and fell to the ground.
As it faded into darkness, Sora looked around. Terra was still fighting the scorpion and Aqua the wolf. The magic barrier fell between Sora and Aqua so Sora ran to help.
Aqua jumped back as the wolf clawed at her. In the corner of her eye, she saw Sora take down the giant crow.
Aqua sliced the wolf's paw and it howled in pain, but quickly bounced back.
She jumped into the air and summoned her Master's Keyblade and used both Keyblades to send a flurry of fire and ice spells.
The wolf was engulfed in flames and frozen in ice at the same time. Sora ran over to Aqua as she landed on the ground.
"Wow," He laughed. "Remind me never to make you made."
Aqua laughed but the wolf broke out of the spells.
Aqua tossed Rain Storm at the beast and it went right through the monster. It bucked as the bounced back through the wolf again.
The wolf fell to the ground and vanished.
"Terra needs our help!" Aqua pointed at his battle.
When Aqua last caught a glimpse of her love, he had rolled away from the scorpion's giant stinger. The stinger was as thick as Terra's chest was wide. One well placed stab could spell disaster for the armored knight.
Aqua ran to the edge of the barrier, it had not fell like the last time.
"Come on Terra!" Aqua yelled, not knowing if he heard her.
Terra sidestepped a claw and tried to slice it off but instead block the other claw and rolled away from the stinger. He saw that Sora and Aqua were already done with their fight, as they stood on the other side of the magical wall. Aqua held onto Eraqus' Keyblade and her Rain Storm and Sora banged on the wall with his fist.
Terra saw the stinger strike and he barely managed to block the stinger with the flat side of his Keyblade, the impact made him shudder. The Scorpion hiss and it pressed down on Terra, making him unable to move and grabbed him with his claws. As the beast began to squeeze, Terra heard his armor creak and groan from the pressure.
The scorpion was going to crush him into two and Terra realized it. Terra looked at Aqua one final time before sealing off his heart with his light and dark emotions mixed, and commanded the darkness.
Terra roared as he exploded with darkness, causing the scorpion to fly backwards and into the barrier. A dark aura surrounded Terra as he felt his armor's damage, the scorpion's claw left several large cracks in his armor. He couldn't take anymore damage without the risk of falling apart.
Terra reached his hand out to Aqua who kind of understood. She slammed both Keyblades into the barrier and it shattered. The scorpion seemed faster then it appeared and it charged at Terra.
"Terra catch!" Aqua yelled as she threw Eraqus' Keyblade at him. She would have thrown Rain Storm, but it would have failed to respond to Terra because it was her's, but being the disciple of Eraqus, Terra, Ven or Aqua could use the Keyblade.
Terra caught the Keyblade and slid underneath the monster and stabbed both Keyblades into it's underside. The scorpion stumbled and fell. Seeing the chance, Terra summoned Gaia bane and formed his ultimate cannon.
"Fire!" He cried and the explosive disentegrated the scorpion.
Terra dropped Gaia Bane and clutched his side as he dismissed his darkness, letting warm feelings fill his body again.
"Terra are you okay?" Aqua asked.
"I'm fine..." He lied.
She ran up to him and hugged him.
Sora shook his head and mouthed, "Don't lie to her."
Terra sighed. "Let's go rescue Ven."
The sleeping boy looked just like he looked like when Aqua put him there, thanks to his slumber and the Castle's magic.
"Hey, he looks like Roxas," Sora noticed.
"Who's Roxas?" Aqua asked.
"My Nobody...Oh never mind, how are we going to do this?"
"I'm not exactly sure..."
"Try shaking him awake," Terra suggested.
Aqua punched him in the back. "Oh," She whispered, clutching her bruised knuckles.
"Sorry...but I'm serious, Sora shake him!"
"Okay..." Sora said and grabbed Ven by the shirt and started shaking him. "Ven, wake up!"
Sora began to glow, a yellow aura surrounded him and Ven.
Ven's eyes fluttered open. "S-Sora stop that, I'm awake!" Ven said. Sora released him and Aqua attacked Ven with a hug.
"You're back!" She cried.
"Yeah...how long have been asleep?"
"We're all together again..." Aqua whispered, ignoring Ven's question as she released Ven and hugged Terra.
"Not too tightly, Aqua," Terra whispered. His cracks were larger from his fight with the scorpion.
"I have to go..."
"W-what! Why?"
"You don't remember, Master Yen Sid wanted me to return to him after we rescued Ven."
Aqua nodded. "Okay, meet me at Destiny Islands."
Terra nodded released Aqua and tapped into his darkness and opened a portal.
"I will, I promise," He said as he stepped into the portal.
Okay I got one or two more chapters left, more leaning toward one more.
