Grammatical Octopus, Spelling Squirrel, Punctuation Bird, Capital Caterpillar and Escape Goat are on their high heels chasing after me. Kingdom Hearts help me!
Disclaimer: Argh, I'm a pirate!
Roxas had never been to this part of the castle before. White platforms hovered at increasing altitudes as they were further away from him. He looked for a staircase of some sort, something to get him to each of the platforms, but there was nothing.
He peered over the edge of the platform he was on, and saw nothing that could possibly help him. Curious if there was anything below the thin white floor, he bent down, nearly keeling over backwards to peer under the board he was standing on. He inched a hand under - and met cold, hard glass.
A hexagonal platform firmly blocked his gloved hand from feeling under the platform. Roxas stood up, almost surprised. The Organization wouldn't create a place of the castle and then prevent members from going there, but the Organization also laid traps for its members to fall into. He carefully inched over to the glass, and placed his hand on it. Nothing happened.
He applied some pressure to it, and nothing continued to happen, only an odd ringing noise slithering by his ears. Roxas gave it one hard push, and the glass didn't move a centimetre. He presumed it would be able to support his weight, just like the glass he stood on when he was fighting...
He couldn't remember her name.
Roxas used this as motivation to go on. Once he frees Kingdom Hearts, he'll be able to remember this person. She seemed to be important to him.
Was it even a she?
He couldn't remember...
He stepped onto the glass. Other glass panels were connected to it in a cluster. Roxas still didn't fully trust it, so he applied pressure to one panel whilst keeping all his weight on his back foot. When it was safe, he continued. After a strenuous trip, he came to an abrupt halt of the magical path. There was nothing in front of him other than the distant white platform.
Roxas got moved his foot in front of him. His foot hovered for a moment, and then another glass panel appeared. Roxas checked behind him to make sure the glass panels weren't disappearing, and then continued on his way.
He made it to the white hovering platform. He let out a sigh of relief, for he was now on almost solid ground. A dark corridor opened up on the other side of the platform.
The corridor disappeared, and a lanky boy and a distorted guitar was revealed to Roxas. Demyx, Roxas remembered. For once, the only time in the history of their meetings and missions, Demyx had a serious expression. He looked truly emotionless.
"How could you, man?" Demyx threw his hand above him as a bubble of water encased him. It made his narrow face waver, and his golden-brown mullet look larger than it actually was.
Demyx brought his arm down harshly and the water turned into clones of himself. They all had replicas of Demyx's sitar, and sporting his same hairstyle. The only difference between them was the fact that they were made out of water and he wasn't.
Demyx's clones advanced their way towards Roxas, sliding rather than walking. Demyx began to strum out tunes on his sitar as his clones made their first attack on the betrayer. One slash from Roxas's keyblades took them all out, his light ripping through the frail compound the clones were made out of.
Demyx, showing slight irritation, recreated his clones and started up an attack of his own. He was lifted up by his own water high into the air as his clones served as a distraction to his enemy. Demyx rushed forward with his sitar ready for impact.
Roxas blocked the sitar with Oblivion and used Demyx's memento to elevate himself above the musician. Roxas smashed Oathkeeper into Demyx's back and twirled around to face the clones. Roxas eliminated them with ease, and he looked behind him to check on Demyx.
Demyx had just recovered from the blow and was now charging towards Roxas at full pace. Roxas smashed his weapons down onto Demyx, but the water master used a shield of his element to prevent Roxas's attack from connecting. Demyx burst through the water's surface with his two hands gripped on his sitar.
He swiped it at Roxas, and blasted the key bearer out of his reach. Roxas was about to fly off the platform, but just before that happened, Roxas grabbed onto the edge and swung himself under it. Demyx sent water down over the edge and pulled it upwards into the platform's base, hoping that he would finally get rid of Roxas.
But Roxas was already back on top of the platform, behind Demyx, and hit the back of his head with full force. The water under the platform fell into the empty space underneath the platform, and immediately started to evaporate. Demyx fell to his knees, his hands trembling.
He grabbed the back of his throbbing head and yelled out in pain. He collapsed to one side and curled up into a ball, as if though it would ease the pain. His sitar evaporated as he himself began to disintegrate, turning to globs of darkness. He took one last look at his foe, the boy who was about to ruin what the Organization had been working for ever since its beginning.
"No..."
The last parts of Demyx disappeared.
Roxas put his Keyblades away and checked his current supplies. They weren't looking that great. He had three potions, one ether, and a panacea. He put the few restoratives back and summoned Oathkeeper. He raised his Keyblade and focused his power.
The green aura which he had welcomed so many times before covered his body. His stomach no longer ached with pain and his hands felt as good as new.
Even though he didn't have many potions, he could at least rely on his magic to heal himself.
For a while.
