Chapter 3: Illumina
The boy rolled underneath Sora's swing and blocked yet another attack. "Come on," Sora mumbled and pushed back the boy, who jumped back and landed by his teammate who was battling Donald.
"Aki!" The boy said.
"Right," Aki said. She spun around and shot a Firaga at Sora. Sora blocked with a Reflecta just as the boy jumped at Sora, getting caught up in the explosion.
Aki sidestepped a Blizzaga that was cast by Donald and fired her own back. Donald ducked and shot a blast of thunder at her. The electrical current went right by Aki though, since she jumped to the side. The spell instead nearly hit the black cloaked member of the group, who's face was concealed by his hood.
"Struxma, heads up!" Aki said.
"Well next time make sure he doesn't hit me!" Struxma yelled as he summoned his weapon; a strange silver bow that seemed to be formed from feathers. He aimed at Goofy, who was charging the Nobody. A beam of nothingness shot from the bow in the form of an arrow and Goofy caught it in his shield, but the impact carried him back slightly. Struxma used the pause to give himself more distance and shot another arrow. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kasai and Sora clashing blades, equally matched. He ducked underneath Goofy's shield that he had thrown like a boomerang.
Kasai growled, he sensed Sora was holding back. He kicked Sora back and ran to the center of the circle, aiming his Keyblade down to unlock the stairs. Sora threw his Keyblade at Kasai, forcing him to jump out of the way. "Don't hold back Sora!" Kasai told him.
Sora caught his Keyblade and sighed. "I didn't want to do this but..." Sora tapped into the secret powers of his clothes and entered Wisdom Form. "I guess I have no choice but to use it." Sora floated quickly along as he shot magic bullets at his opponent. Kasai ran along, trying to avoid getting hit. He jumped up and threw his blade at Sora but it was a pointless attack, Sora simply went faster to avoid the Keyblade.
Aki blocked another spell from Donald and she began to whisper a rhyme so quietly it seemed she was only mouthing words. She blasted Donald with a gust of wind and pointed between Sora and Kasai. "Go!" She commanded the spell and a ball of light shot from her staff and reached its destination. Once it made it, the ball of light transformed into a large wall that blocked Sora's bullets. Aki nodded and jumped back as Donald shot another spell at her.
Struxma stumbled back after Goofy bashed him with his shield. "I always get the short end of the stick!" He groaned as he was slammed by Goofy again. Struxma shook his head and shot an arrow at Goofy. Goofy caught it in his shield and then he spun around like a tornado, gaining speed as he went. Struxma jumped back and shot several arrows but they didn't even touch Goofy as the shield bearing knight crashed into Struxma. Struxma fell to the ground and got back up quickly.
Kasai resummoned his Keyblade and watched Sora carefully throught the wall of light. Sora had reverted back to normal and watched Kasai carefully as well. "You're still holding back," Kasai said.
Sora said nothing.
"Why?"
Sora still said nothing, he charged the wall of light and smashed his Keyblade against it. The wall shattered like glass and Sora charged Kasai. Kasai blocked an attack and ducked under another one before stabbing at Sora. Sora jumped back and shot a Blizzaga at Kasai. Kasai tried to block but missed and the ice spell latched onto his hand. Kasai looked down at his frozen hand and looked at Sora, casting a spell that shattered the ice. Kasai spun around to gain momentum and sliced at Sora. Sora jumped back and stabbed only to be swatted away by Kasai.
Aki panted as she wrote an imaginary letter in the air. A ball of earth formed in mid air and caught on fire. "Meteora!" She cast and the ball shot at Donald. Donald quacked and cast a Reflectaga. The meteor penetrated the shield, but the force of the attack created an explosion that engulfed Aki as well. Donald and Aki stumbled and fell to their knees. She nodded at Donald and closed her eyes, too tired to continue.
Goofy rammed Struxma again. "Give me a break!" Struxma yelled. Struxma shot several arrows at speeds the eye could not follow and Goofy caught most, but a few got through to him. Struxma smiled in satisfaction then saw Aki on the ground. "Aki!" He yelled, distracted as Goofy smacked him again. Struxma stumbled back and fell to his knees. "Well, I'm done." He got up and summoned a portal. "Kasai!" He yelled and tossed his bow at his friend. Kasai caught it and it transformed into a sword. He waved at Goofy. "Later." With that he disappeared into the portal.
Kasai looked around. Aki was down, Struxma retreated... Donald was down as well but Goofy was still capable of fighting. Then there was Sora...
"Sora!" Goofy yelled. "Use the rest of my power to power up your Valor form!" Goofy tossed his shield at Sora, who grabbed it and tapped into the power within his friend's weapon. Goofy jumped back and ran over to Donald. The shield disappeared and Sora began to glow. His clothes changed bright red and he summoned Star Seeker, his other Keyblade.
Kasai sighed. "Show me the power that destroyed the Darkness time and again!"
Sora nodded. "You got it!" Sora jumped up into the air and spiraled down like a drill. Kasai blocked the two Keyblades with his blades and threw Sora back. Sora backflipped and landed on his feet just when Kasai shot a ball of Light at him. Sora swatted it back and Kasai followed his example, the ball gaining speed and momentum each time. When it was too fast, they jumped out of the way and Sora blocked Kasai's attack. They stood there, pushing back and forth, trying to beat out the other one in the clash.
"Why are you doing this?" Sora asked. "You can use Light! Your a skilled fighter, I know in your heart you know this isn't right!"
Kasai smiled sadly. "You're right Sora, but I have to do it if I ever want to see my sister alive again!"
"Wait what?"
Kasai pushed off from Sora and dismissed his Keyblade and Struxma's weapon. "We all used to live in a small world," Kasai said, walking over to Aki's unconcious form. "Aki, Astrum, my sister Illumina and I were the best of friends, getting into trouble together all the time. When a mysterious man came to our world one day and plagued it with Darkness, the world we knew was gone. We formed a team to try and take him down... but instead it backfired, Astrum was split in two, and my sister was captured. The man said that if we ever wanted to see her again, we would have to release The Harvester underneath Radiant Garden. Only beings who walk in the Light can break the seals." He scooped up Aki in his arms. "I'm not going to let that monster hurt my little sister Sora. Struxma, open a portal!"
"Right," Struxma's voice filled the hall and a portal opened up behind Kasai.
"Let me help you," Sora said.
"He watches my every move, I can't do anything... thank you Sora, but I can only see one route out of this." Kasai stepped into the portal and disappeared from Sora's sight.
That was the longest battle scene I've ever written, I wonder if it was too long?
