Kingdom Hearts: War of the Undead
Chapter 41: The Bull's Horns
Our heroes along with the new hero named Wander, they went to the Ocean to look for the 2nd Colossus Giant known as Quadratus.
When they're at the Ocean, they bump into Sora's new Rival, Hrist Valkyrie.
(Cue Rival Battle: Chaos Battle 3 from Dissidia: Final Fantasy.)
"Hey there Sora, I was very happy to see you again." Hrist said.
"Yeah, it is." Sora nodded.
"Hey, cheer up Sora, you prove to be a powerful warrior back at the tournament, that's what I really like about you as a Friend and a Rival, so, get your keyblade ready and let's get this over with." Hrist said as she enters her battle stance.
"Yeah." Sora nodded as he summons his Legendary Keyblade Master Armor, then he summons his Legendary Keyblade and then he enters his battle stance.
"Hmm, so many surprises, well, (Chuckles.) I want to see Sora get stronger after this." Hrist thought to herself.
Rival Battle: Hrist Valkyrie 2nd Battle
"Sora, I hope you can dodge my new attacks, because I've been trained very good during my travels." Hrist said.
"And I hope you can dodge my new attacks as well Hrist." Sora said.
"Hah! We'll see, here we go, Black Valkyria Zantesuken!" Hrist said as she uses her new attack but Sora dodged it.
"There you go, that's how you dodge, try use your attacks and I'll dodge." Hrist said.
"Okay, Ars Magnus!" Sora said as he uses his attack but Hrist dodged it.
"You aren't kidding about dodging attacks." Sora said.
"Trust me, where I'm come from, I win countless battles in my universe, I can even handle a 1000 Heartless battle, now, let's try and end this quickly so that you and the others are ready for Quadratus, Celestial Kaiser Cyclone!" Hrist said.
"Right, Shining Nexus Blast!" Sora said as they clash their techniques, but Sora was the Victor when the Collision is done.
(End Rival Music.)
"I see, so that's why you're the powerful Warrior, hah, I will soon overcome that challenge on our next meeting." Hrist said as everything is shaking.
"It looks like Quadratus is ready for a fight." Bowser said as our heroes saw Quadratus coming towards them but it stops at the right spot.
"It sure looks like it, Sora?" Hrist asked.
"Yes?" Sora asked.
"On our next meeting I'm talking about, I'm meant we'll meet again at the world of Lord of the Rings for our last battle, and we'll make it nice and easy, catch you later buddy, don't lose to General Suzaku, okay?" Hrist asked.
"I won't Hrist." Sora said.
"(Chuckles.) good, (embraces Sora in a hug.) good luck Sora, my new friend, you're gonna need it." Hrist said as she teleports in a beam of light.
(Cue Boss Music: Revived Power from Shadow of the Colossus.)
"Well guys, let's hit Quadratus right through the Horns." Ayane said to the group.
"Righto Ayane, Let's do this!" Vanishing Gungaroo replied as our heroes are ready to face Quadratus.
Boss Battle: Quadratus 1st Battle
Our heroes know that the weakness of Quadratus is its head and its back bone Fur, so they split into teams in order to avoid Quadratus's dangerous attacks as Kairi and Ayane unleash their limit attack known as Ninja's Revenge, first Kairi calls forth Mayneth's power to use Monado Tidal Surge to damage Quadratus while Ayane uses Savage Crimson Kunai Storm to severely damage Quadratus, the limit attack ended as Kairi and Ayane joined hands in order to use Double Savage Crimson Kunai Storm to defeat Quadratus, but the Giant will go down that easily because the 2nd fight will take place at the different world.
Kairi: Protect us!
Ayane: This ends now!
(End Boss Music.)
"Whew, wow Kairi, you sure are powerful, using Mayneth's power to get stronger, now that's a true Warrior." Ayane said.
"Yeah, I soon discovered that her soul is inside of me, then Riku possessed a soul of the good Zanza." Kairi said.
"hmm, interesting, I'm curious though, your friend Sora is very brave and powerful." Ayane said.
"He sure is, why, you want to talk to him?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah, Sora haven't got a chance to have a chat with a Dead or Alive hero like me, hmm, maybe I'll have a word with Sora, you guys get to the Temple, we'll meet you guys there." Ayane said to the group.
"Okay, watch out for danger." Bobby replied as our heroes went to the temple leaving Ayane with Sora as she walks up to Sora.
"Um, excuse me, your name is Sora, right?" Ayane asked.
"That's me, is something wrong?" Sora asked.
"No-no, nothing's wrong, I was wondering, would you like to hang out with me?" Ayane asked.
"Sure, is there someplace we can sit?" Sora asked.
"Hmm, let's try sit on the sand." Ayane replied as her and Sora then sat on the Ocean sand with Ayane sitting next to him after Quadratus escaped through the portal.
"So, Sora, I heard that you first became a key blade wielder, why is that?" Ayane asks Sora.
(Cue Scene Music: Roxas theme from Kingdom Hearts 2.)
"Well, when Destiny Islands was devoured by the heartless, my friends was missing when a big heartless showed up and tries to bring wreckage to my homeworld, myself, my brother Gabriel, and my Sister Riela managed to stop the Big heartless, but…we've got separated by a giant twister, and…I haven't seen for almost few years." Sora sadly told Ayane.
"I…I have no idea, that's…awful, I'm…sorry to hear that." Ayane sadly said.
"Is okay, hopefully the worlds will be saved once again." Sora said.
"Yeah, hey, we haven't got a chance to get to know each other, I did introduce myself to your friends, but…I haven't got a chance to introduce myself to you Sora, my name is Ayane." Ayane said.
"Hmm, that's a good name, so, Ayane." Sora said.
"Hmm?" Ayane asked.
"What Universe did you come from, I'm curious to know." Sora said as Ayane took a deep breath and then she explains her story to Sora.
"I came from the world of Dead or Alive, I was very happy to know that I'm a current Master of the Hajin Mon Sect Clan, though, I'm not that happy about what happened back then." Ayane said as Sora curiously look at Ayane, this makes Ayane laugh.
"You reminded me of a person I used to know." Ayane smiled.
"Who's the person's name?" Sora asked.
"Her name…is Kasumi." Ayane said.
"Kasumi huh? Hmm, that's a nice name." Sora said.
"It is, but…you have no idea what happened back then." Ayane said.
"Why?" Sora asked as Ayane explains a story to Sora once again.
"Many years ago, I was born in a village in my universe, I met a girl named Kasumi, we're usually half-sisters and cousins in all, when we were kids, we used to be the best of friends, we share a same hairstyle, even though it is kind of silly to know, when I discover the truth about my birth, I became jealous of Kasumi because I was treated like a demon child, and Kasumi was treated like a princess very carefully, I want to express my hatred towards Kasumi because of the years of Hayate's affection towards her as her older brother, but…I can't do that to Kasumi, it'll break her kind heart in half, I admit that Hayate was Kasumi's older brother, and I was okay with that, so…I'll let it slip off, if it makes Kasumi happy, then I'm okay with it, so…Sora, tell me, do you have the same problem as mine?" Ayane asked.
"Umm, I don't think I have any problems with my brother and my sister, when we were kids, we used to play together, playing hide and seek, sand castles, everything we used to do in case if were bored, we went inside the secret cave and investigate the mysterious Markings on the wall." Sora told Ayane.
"Wow, that was…very interesting, I guess you haven't got the same problem as mine, hey…Sora?" Ayane asked.
"Yes Ayane?" Sora asked as Ayane hold on to Sora's right hand.
"I…I want to be your true friend, I want to help you fight so that I can find out where Kasumi is, because…I don't want to see you get hurt like Kasumi." Ayane said.
"Really? You want to be my true friend?" Sora asked.
"Yes, I want to be your true friend Sora, I want to see you fight with your keyblade, I want to trust you enough to trust me, I want to form a friendship with you, if that's okay with you." Ayane said.
"Are you kidding? You can form a friendship with me." Sora smiled.
"Oh…thank you, thank you Sora, (Embraces Sora in a hug.) I knew I can trust you, I'll never forget our friendship, ever again." Ayane smiled when she saw a sudden figure over Sora's left shoulder coming towards them.
"Sora, Look." Ayane said as Sora saw a mysterious figure coming towards them.
"What is that?" Sora asked.
(Cue Secret Boss Music: Violent Storm from Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.)
"I don't know, but…unless my eyes are correct, that's Alpha-152, it somehow survived the explosion from the MIST Lab." Ayane said.
"Who's Alpha-152?" Sora asked.
"Trouble, I thought Kasumi took down Alpha-152, but the experiment somehow survived in the explosion." Ayane told Sora as he looked at Alpha-152 with an awed look.
"When I looked at Alpha-152, it looked like Kasumi you told me about." Sora said as Alpha-152 stopped at the spot to enter its battle stance.
"Trust me Sora, I know what Alpha-152 looks like when I took 1 look at it, it scares the pants out of me, believe me, it shows no mercy to its opponent." Ayane said.
"Well, whoever Alpha-152 is, is 2 against 1." Sora said.
"I agree with you that one, if we work together, we can take down Alpha-152 in a hurry, are you ready Sora?" Ayane asked.
"I'm ready when you are." Sora nodded as him and Ayane entered their battle stances and they begin the battle against Alpha-152.
Secret Boss Battle: Alpha-152 1st Battle
"Sora, if Alpha-152 shifts to a different person, keep your eyes on its movement, watch how he attacks as a different person." Ayane said.
"I'll make sure of it." Sora replied as him and Ayane managed to dodge every attack Alpha-152 does as Sora and Ayane unleash their limit attack known as Grand Ninja Masters to defeat Alpha-152 but the 2nd fight will take place at the different world.
Sora: This is it!
Ayane: This ends now!
(End Secret Boss Music.)
"Whew, we've made a pretty good team." Sora said as Alpha-152 escaped through the Portal.
"You said it Sora, if we see Kasumi and the others, I'll introduce you and the others to them, let's go meet up with our friends." Ayane replied as her and Sora went to the Temple to meet up with their friends.
"Kasumi, wherever you are, I will find you, i hope you're safe." Ayane thought to herself.
