Kingdom Hearts: War of the Undead
Chapter 55: Malus's Demise
As our heroes are done with the Final Preparations, they head for the place located not far from their location, while there, they talk along the way.
"Well guys, the final Colossus Giant is going to be tough, but let's not lose hope, let's proceed with honor." Sora said to the group.
"No problem Fearless Leader." Chill Penguin nodded.
"We'll be okay Sora." Kisala nodded.
"Alright, let's go guys, Malus is just up ahead." Sora replied to the group as our heroes have come face to face with Malus, the 16th and final Colossus Giant as they readied their weapons.
Major Boss Battle: Malus
(Cue Major Boss Music: Ritual of the Demise from Shadow of the Colossus.)
Malus is the Last and most Powerful 16th Colossus Giant of all Colossus Giants, but our heroes managed to dodge Malus's wrath as they unleash their full-power fury of their powerful attacks to damage Malus, then at the inch of adventage, Sora, Vanitas, Kasumi, and Erza unleash their Limit attack known as Fairy Tale Heroes, first Sora uses Kingdom hearts Zantesuken to severely damage Malus, then both Vanitas and Kasumi uses Kingdom Hearts Blade Slash they learned from Alexandra Blake to damage Malus while Erza uses Pentagram Sword Slash to severely damage Malus, the Limit attack ended as they combine their attacks to fearlessly defeat Malus.
Sora: This is it!
Vanitas: Playtime's over!
Kasumi: Prepare yourself!
Erza: We shall not lose!
(End Major Boss Music.)
Our heroes have defeated Malus and all the Statues are destroyed, so they're thinking about what they should do about finding the Keyhole.
"So, what do you guys want to do?" Reimi asked.
"Hmm, we should do some preparations for the next Tournament." Tina said.
"Okay, but first, i must you, Team Dead or Alive, some Good news and some Bad news, if Kasumi is hearing this." Sora said.
"I'm listening, go ahead Sora." Kasumi nodded.
"Okay, here goes, the good news, is that you and Ayane are now friends again, the bad news is...is hard to say this guys." Sora said.
"Tell us Sora, we're not mad, just tell us, we're your new friends." Hitomi said.
"Okay, the bad news is, do you guys remember Alpha-152?" Sora asks Team Dead or Alive.
"Yep, we sure did, why?" Lei Fang asked.
"Well, guess what guys, Alpha-152...is back." Sora sadly said.
"What?" Team Dead or Alive all exclaimed.
"How is this possible, i defeated Alpha-152, looks like Donovan is getting really serious." Kasumi said.
"So, before i ask who is this Donovan, you guys are not mad, aren't you?" Sora asked.
"Us? mad? Puh-lease, we're not mad, we were wondering why Alpha-152 somehow survived the Explosion like a Yeti on Winter Situation, thanks for reminding us Buddy." Tina smiled.
"You're welcome, so, Kasumi, who is Donovan?" Sora asked Kasumi as she explains to Sora the Story about Donovan.
"Trust me Sora, Donovan is no pushover, he's the Man behind everything, every single thing happened during each Dead or Alive Tournaments, he created the clone of me as Alpha-152, in order to confuse Ayane and my brother Hayate, i will fulfill my destiny and stop Donovan once and for all, but, i can't do this by myself, i'm counting on your help Sora, i'm counting on you on helping me stop Donovan, will you do that for me?" Kasumi asked.
"Well, Kasumi, whoever this Donovan is, he will be stopped, so, yes, i'll help you Kasumi, i'll help you stop Donovan, i've got an hunch that Donovan is Crimson's right-hand Man." Sora determintely nodded.
"(Chuckles.) oh Sora, thank you so much, i knew i can count on you, you're the true best friend ever." Kasumi smiled.
"Hold on there Kasumi, (Chuckles.) if you and Sora want to stop Donovan, then you two are going to need our help, including me." Ayane smiled.
"Darn right, just let us damage Donovan until he's down to his last energy and we'll let you and Sora defeat Donovan." Tina said.
"Alright, that's a promise, okay Sora, it's time to get trained up for the next Tournament, so, which one of us is your first training opponent, take your pick." Kasumi said.
"Hmm, i guess, i'll pick...Hitomi." Sora said.
"Awesome choice Sora, you picked me, (Chuckles.) you won't be disappointed new best friend, i promise, alright, (Cracks Knuckles.) let's get started!" Hitomi smiled as she enters her battle stance.
"Bring it on!" Sora replied as he begins the first Dead or Alive training with Hitomi as his first training opponent.
Secret Boss Battle: Hitomi 1st Battle
(Cue Secret Boss Music: Boss Battle 2 from Legend of Dragoon.)
"Okay Sora, here's what this training goes, you can't just win by brute force, you need to win with honor and determination, so, how about some exercises before we can move on with the fight, now, follow my movement while concentrating on your mind and your soul inside you, you with me so far?" Hitomi asked.
"Loud and Clear." Sora nodded.
"Good, now, follow my lead, but remember, focus on your mind and your soul inside you, okay, here we go!" Hitomi said as Sora and Hitomi began their exercises.
"Now, do exactly as i do, okay Sora?" Hitomi asked.
"Okay." Sora nodded.
"Alright, watch how i do back in our homeworld." Hitomi said as she shows Sora her kung fu skills.
"Now you try Sora, i showed you my skills, you must do the same, alright, begin." Hitomi continued.
"Okay." Sora nodded as he copies Hitomi's skills while focusing on his mind and his soul inside him.
"Excellent Job Sora, now we fight!" Hitomi said as her and Sora then began the fight after their exercises.
Hitomi was a powerful Dead or Alive Hero, but Sora was powerful also as he uses Crimson Shocker to attack Hitomi but she dodged it, the Crimson Shocker however, did defeat Hitomi from behind.
"Not bad Sora, you did good, use the tactics i taught you and you will be fine." Hitomi said.
"No problem." Sora nodded.
"Your next Dead or Alive opponent is Tina, you're up next Tina." Hitomi said to Tina.
"Alrighty, you better be ready Sora, you're looking at a professional Wrestler." Tina said.
"I was born ready Tina." Sora replied as him and Tina began the next Dead or Alive Training.
Secret Boss Music: Tina Armstrong 1st Battle
(Cue Secret Boss Music: Vs. Uroboros from Mabinogi g11.)
"Okay Sora, in this next Dead or Alive Training, being a wrestler is not just a fight to the finish or to the death, is about how you show the crowds your awesome wrestling skills and win big, now, i'm about to show you my wrestling skills i've learned from my father, Bass Armstrong, the Man i talked about earlier after the introduction, so, are you up for it?" Tina asked.
"I'm ready Tina." Sora nodded.
"Alright then Buddy, it's wrestling time!" Tina replied as she uses Western Rush to attack Sora but he dodged it.
"Whew, you're doing good buddy, now, i'm going to show you how to grapple, grappling moves are important to win in different Wrestling Matches, and it is also good on getting past your opponent and damage them with your attacks while your opponent is down, you can use your Keyblade is you need some adventage, now, watch carefully as we go along with the Training, okay, here we go!" Tina said as they continue with the Training.
"Wow, Tina is very good, but Sora is also good." Tess said.
"You haven't seen nothing yet Tess, Tina is a professional Wrestler, her and I want to face each other in the finals because our promises is kept, but Tina lost to her father and I was lost to Hitomi, but, i've got an hunch that Sora is going to make sure we'll actually face each other at the Final for real." Mila told Tess.
"Oh, okay, that makes sense." Tess replied as the others are still watching the next Dead or Alive Training.
Sora managed to keep up with Tina's Powerful Wrestling skills as she teaches him her skills to survive the next Tournament, so Sora uses Gladiator Knuckle Rush to clash with Tina's Western Rush, but the impact from Gladiator Knuckle Rush defeated Tina the 1st time, but the next Dead or Alive Training will take place at the different location.
"Whew, you're good Sora, you're powerful than the Abominable Snowman in a winter wonderland, great job buddy." Tina smiled.
"You too Tina." Sora nodded.
"(Chuckles.) you're so awesome, i couldn't stop hanging out with you, you know that, okay, your next oppenent will be Lei Fang, you're up next Lei Fang." Tina said to Lei Fang.
"Okay, (Walk up to Sora.) well Sora, are you ready for your next Dead or Alive Training?" Lei Fang asked.
"I'm ready as i'm ever will be." Sora nodded.
"Alright, let's begin!" Lei Fang replied as Sora and her entered their fighting stances and they began the next Dead or Alive Training.
Secret Boss Music: Lei Fang 1st Battle
(Cue Secret Boss Music: Heliport from TMNT.)
"Sora, in this next Dead or Alive Training, let your mind be the Ocean, let your skills be the Raging Tornado, and let your soul be the heart of the Zodiac, don't let your energy waste itself when you're using your skills properly in battle my new friend." Lei Fang said.
"I always make sure i use my skills properly to my adventage." Sora nodded.
"Your skills yes, but in order defeat your opponent, you must wait for the right moment to attack while your eyes is closed, and when your eyes are closed, focus your energy on one attack and you shall win the fight against your opposing opponent." lei Fang said.
"No problem." Sora nodded.
"Alright, let's continue." Lei Fang replied as she uses Houshen Monkey Palm Rush to attack but Sora knows what Lei Fang said about waiting for the right moment to attack while his eyes are closed, so he uses the tactic Lei Fang showed him as he uses Dragon Fist Rush to defeat Lei Fang the 1st time but the next Dead or Alive Training will be harder than usual.
"Well done Sora, you've learned well, your next Dead or Alive opponent...is Kokoro." Lei Fang said.
"Kokoro, alright, i'm ready." Sora nodded.
"Alright, Kokoro, you're next." Lei Fang said as Kokoro walked up to Sora.
"So, Sora, are you ready for your next Lesson?" Kokoro asked.
"I'm ready when you are." Sora nodded.
"Okay then, (enters her battle stance.) let's begin!" Kokoro replied as Sora begins his next Dead or Alive Training with Kokoro as his next Dead or Alive opponent.
Secret Boss Battle: Kokoro 1st Battle
(Cue Secret Boss Music: Gidsibb from Xenosaga 3.)
"Alright Sora, watch carefully and pay attention on what i'm about to teach you, because this is very important that you must not let your opponent win the fight, the skills i'm going to teach you will help you win the Metropolis Tournament, are you ready?" Kokoro asked.
"Yeah." Sora nodded.
"Okay, let's continue." Kokoro replied as she uses Rising Waterfall Punch to attack but Sora dodged it and uses Nexus Dragon Rush to damage Kokoro.
"Not bad Sora, but i'm just getting started." Kokoro smiled.
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Oh yeah, your attacks are powerful, but my attacks are powerful also, here i come, Nitro Flash Wave!" Kokoro nodded as she uses her attack to damage Sora but he uses Perfect Defense to nullify the damage.
"Nice try Kokoro." Sora smiled.
"Wait, you're planning to counterattack my attacks?" Kokoro asked.
"Yep, while you were using your attacks to daage me, i came up with a perfect attack to beat you." Sora said.
"What would that be?" Kokoro asked.
"This, Raging Tornado Low Sweep Kick!" Sora said as he uses his new attack to defeat Kokoro by a surprise.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, i'm fine, you're powerful than i expected you were my friend." Kokoro nodded.
"Yep." Sora nodded.
"Well, your next Dead or Alive opponent is Mila." Kokoro said as Mila walked up to Sora.
"Sora, you better be ready, because you're looking at a Boxer, me, Mila, the Undefeated Boxer." Mila said.
"I'm always ready." Sora nodded.

"Alright Sora, if you want to win the Metropolis Tournament, then you'll need my help, which is why i will teach you the perfect Combos to win, are you ready?" Mila asked.

"Okay, let's do this!" Mila replied as her and Sora used their attacks to clash with each other but the sneak attack from Sora managed to defeat Mila the 1st time, but the next Dead or Alive Training at the next Universe will be harder than it seems.
"Whew, wow Sora, looks like you're powerful thani expected, awesome job." Mila said.
"Thanks, so, i wonder who would be my next Dead or Alive opponent be?" Sora asked.
"That would be me Sora." Lisa said as she walks up to Sora.
"This next Dead or Alive Training will make you a lot stronger, but make sure you're fully prepared for the next Tournament, are you ready?" Lisa asked.

"Are you guys sure that Sora is capable of winning the next Trophy?" Alicia asked.
"Don't you worry Alicia, Sora will win the Metropolis Trophy for sure." Helena told Alicia in French words.
"Exactly, as long as we make sure he's prepared for the next Tournament, nobody will never beat our new friend." Hitomi smiled.
"I'm with you on that one Hitomi, Sora is going to win the next Tournament in no time, we have faith in his trusted Wisdom." Tina nodded.
"I'm not so sure, Sora is our 1st Leader of the Keyblade Regiment Army, but he's still the same Lazy-Bum we use to know, and he's also the exact same target for Crimson." Kairi said.
"(Chuckles.) Trust me Kairi, (Places her hand on Kairi's Shoulder.) he may be the Lazy-Bum you know, but he's still our new friend, i have faith in his wisdom, i always have." Kasumi smiled.
"Me too." Ayane nodded.
"Very deep inside Sora, he's the most powerful, most trustworthy, and most Friendly Hero we all believe in, he will win the next Trophy and we will move on to the next Tournament." Kokoro said.
"Hmm, you know Kokoro, you're right, Sora will win no matter what, I believe in him, i always do." Alicia smiled.
"Yeah, i think Sora somehow managed to beat Lisa." Cosette replied as they saw Sora win the next Dead or Alive fight against Lisa.
"Well done, you should be proud on what you're doing once you'll win the next Tournament." Lisa said.
