Back in the moving castle, things were not actually going so well. Everyone was completely out of control.
"What are we going to do? This castle is WAY to big. how will we ever find a way on how to stop this damn castle?" Demyx Asked, running around the room.
"demyx shut up and listen. It's obvious, we just have to split up and find a switch or something." Larxene explained.
Demyx just looked even more confused. "But Larxene...we don't even know what the switch looks like," Demyx implied. "And on top of that, the we will be at the island in approxametly one hour." Demyx was sweating nervously. larxene walked over to him and slapped him right across the face. Demyx placed his hand over his cheek.
"STOP IT RIGHT NOW, do you think AXEL WOULD GIVE UP LIKE THIS!" Larxene yelled.
"No...no he wouldn't." Demyx replied, regaining his composure.
"Good man. Now here is what were gonna' do." larxene said. "We have got one hour until this place reaches Sora's island. We need to split up and search for a way to stop this pla-" Larxene was interrupted when Saix raised his hand.
"Actually Larxene I may know a way on how to stop this place." Saix replied.
"Then by all means, speak up Saix." Larxene insisted.
"At the very bottom of the castle, there lies a room," Saix went on. He walked towards the exit. "In that room lies a GIANT green crytal. It's bigger that much I can tell you. However." Luxord walked over and stood besides Saix.
"However, back when we had complete control over the nobodies, we would send a LARGE amount of them to gaurd the stone." Luxord explained
"The stone...the stone is the source of this place. If it were to be destroyed...the castle would began to crumble." Saix replied.
Larxene nodded and walked out into the hallway. The others followed behind. "Then it's settled, let's go to the core." larxene insisted.
"But...but theres bound to be an army of heartless down there. Don't forget, the core is the thing that's keeping this place intact and moving. Do you honestly think Xemnas would just leave it ungaurded?" Vexen explained.
"That is a chance we are taking." Larxene replied.
She began to wander through the hallways, her crew following her with there weapons in hand.
Back with Axel and Sora.
The only sounds that could be heard on the island were the sounds of an epic battle taking place on the beach. the gaint monster was slamming his fists on the ground so hard, sandwaves that were thirty feet tall began to make there way towards Sora.
"Ha! That all you got?" Sora teased.
He jump on top of the sandwaves and began to make his way towards the monster. Unfortunately for Sora, the monster was blessed with height. The only thing Sora could attack were the mosters knees. Suddenly, it hit him lick a bag of bricks. If he couldn,t attck the monsters head, he could go for the knees. He charged his keyblade up for a powerful thunder attack. "THUNDER!" Sora yelled. Out of nowhere, powerful lightning sliced through the monsters legs like. the monster fell forward, landinf face first on the beach. Now was Sora's ultimate opportunity to strike. He approached the monsters head. Faster than a speeding bullet, he began to slash at the mosters head.
"Take...some of...THIS!" Sora yelled, ending the assualt with one final slash.
The monster let out a loud roar. Sora didn't realize it, the monsters legs had completely regenerated back. Sora's eyes widened. He ran twenty feet backwards and bumped into Axel, who had his hands full with Xemnas. "WOAH WHAT THE HELL!" Axel yelled. Sora looked up at him and smiled. Axel rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to Xemnas.
"I must say, I am indeed impressed Axel. You have managed to turn my Organization againt's me, you went againt's my orders. And EVEN when I killed you...you came back." Xemnas said.
"Hehehe...well you know me, I'm a very persistent guy." Axel replied.
Xemnas rushed towards Axel and attemted to slice at his throat. Axel got away, but barely. Axel countered by kicking Xemnas in the ribs. While xemnas was hunched over in pain, Axel elbowed him in the back of the head. "What's wrong old man, lost your fighting spirit?" Axel teased. "If you give up now, no one has to get hurt." Xemnas began to laugh. That laugh got louder and louder.
"What the hell is so damn funny Xemmy?" Axel questioned
"You have truely underestimated me." Xemnas replied.
Axel looked into Xemnas's eyes and noticed something shocking. His eyes started to glow dark purple. Axel back up from Xemnas. Xemnas didn't use his legs to even get up. He simply levitated. Dark purple aura began to surround Xemnas. Axel thought he even heard a growl. Not only was Xemnas glowing, but the Darkness as well. "Um...Axel. Iv'e never seen Xemnas do this before." Sora said, nervously.
"Yeah, I don't know WHAT'S going now." Axel replied.
"Oh my dear boys, you know no better," Xemnas scolded. "Once you have seen the darkness, once you have taken the power it has to offer...you can truely understand. DARKNESS,BIND YOURSELF WITH MY ETERNAL SOUL!" Suddenly, the island began to shake violently again. There was a thunderous roar coming from the monster Sora was fighting. Sora and Axel looked at the monster. It was fading. Not into the darkness, but into Xemnas's pure evil heart. The Darkness was fusing itself with Xemnas. As this was happening, the sky began to turn dark purple. The ocean that surrounded the beach began to turn purple as well. Xemnas's body was being engulfed in a tidal wave of pure evil aura.
"Sora...he...he's turning himself into a hybrid heartless." Axel said, completely shaking.
"NOOO!...not a hybrid heartless. I am...I am... I am an OMEGA HYBRID HEARTLESS!" Xemnas bellowed.
The transformation was complete. Xemnas got what he wanted...power of the darkness. Axel and Sora couldn't believe what just happened. They were shocked to see what they were looking at. Xemnas didn't look like Xemnas anymore. He looked just like a heartless surrounded dark purple aura. "Okay boys...let the slaughter commence." Xemnas said. He dashed towards Axel at lightning speed. Axel never even saw him move. Xemnas landed a total of thirty-two punches to Axel's chest in under six seconds. He finished the assualt with a powerful kick to Axel's stomach. Axel was sent flying into a grassy mountain. he was knocked unconscious.
"AXEL!" Sora yelled.
He raced over to try and cure Axel. But Xemnas wasn't going to let him do that. With all his power. he beat Sora to Axel. " LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Sora shouted. Xemnas picked Axel up by his neck. He laughed and slammed Axel face first onto the ground. Sora looked in horror. his best friend was getting killed. Xemnas lifted Axel up from the ground and looked at his face. Axel's face was covered in blood. Xemnas smiled and once again, slammed Axel face first into the ground. Sora was breathing heavily by now. One more slam like that and Axel was a done for.
Meanwhile back with the others
"SEE I TOLD YOU THIS PLACE WOULD BE HEAVILY GUARDED!" Vexen yelled, slashing away the last of the heartless.
"phew, atleast that's all of them." Demyx replied.
Marluxia and Saix were busy slashing at the core to even notice the sky changing outside. Larxene,Vexen and Damyx ran towards the window to see the sky blazing with dark blue aura. Demyx screamed and pointed outside of the window. He was jumping up and down really fast. Larxene ran over to Demyx and slapped him again. "Demyx snap out of it. What is your damn problem?" Larxene as, shaking the hell out of Demyx. he pointed outside the window again.
"Look down there...we...we failed." Demyx said.
Larxene looked outside of the window. She looked down and saw what Demyx was talking about. "No...we...we are to late," Larxene mumbled. Vexen and Luxord ran towards the window and looked down as well. The entire castle was hovering over Destiny Island. "Dammit, we have to destroy this core before Xemnas takes over."
Back on the island
Xemnas looked up to see that his precious package had just arrived. The tower was hovering over the beach like an eclipesed moon. Xemnas Laughed his heart out. "See that Sora. The end is about to come," Xemnas warned. Sora clinched his fist and smiled at Xemnas. "Hmph, even in the midst of defeat, you still manage to crack a smile." Sora looked deep into Xemnas's purple eyes.
"I won't let you take over my home...my world." Sora said.
"You are making me ANGRY CHILD!" Xemnas roared
Xemnas summoned his light saber. Sora noticed that Xemnas lightsaber was no longer red. It was light blue. He watched Xemnas raise the blue saber up to Axel's neck. Sora's eyes widened with absolute horror. He knew he wasn't fast enough to stop Xemnas. A tear began to fall from Sora's eye. Xemnas saw this and Laughed histerically at him. "HAHAHAHAHA! That's right. Let's see how you like it when I kill your best friend...AGAIN!" Xemnas roared. He dangled Axel right in front of him and aimed his saber towards Axel's heart. "good bye Axel...when I kill you this time...DON't come back." Xemnas readied his saber. he was about to kill Axel...again.
