Hinata Chronicles Chapter 43: Fighting the Luna Diviner
"OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!" Kiba yelled as he an Akamaru were avoid another attack from Saïx.
"GET BACK HERE YOU SONNA OF BITCH!" Saïx yelled in his berserker mode.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT!" Lee yelled out to him as he tried to get closer.
"I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR OUR SIDE!" Kiba yelled back.
"Kiba!" Lee called out as he tried to defend him.
"MOVE ASIDE!" Saïx yelled as he threw his claymore at him.
"This man is indeed strong. . ." Sai muttered as look on at Saïx with a little fear in his eyes as he attacked Kiba, Akamaru and Lee.
(1 hour earlier)
The group was eager to see who would go next. Xion decided that she would take a break after her fight with the data Axel, although she was still surprised that she's now able to summon two keyblades. Naruto was stretching with Lee, Hinata was having a chat with Tenten, Kiba was petting Akamaru, Shino was standing in the shadows, Shikamaru was taking a nap, Choji was still eating his chips, Sakura and Ino were also chatting, Sai was drawing, and Kakashi was reading his usual porn for the thirtieth time.
"Well it's time." Xion said as she started to remember who was next. "Alright, Roxas, Larxene, Marluxia, Luxord, Demyx, Axel and now. . ." She then became wide-eyed at remembering who was next in the line. "Ah crap. . ." Xion then went into a fettle position and started rocking back and forth.
Hinata noticed what Xion was doing. "Oh boy." She then went over to her. "You alright?"
"Why did it have to be him next?" Xion muttered.
Naruto then came over to her. "Alright, you only get like this sometimes if it was a really tough opponent Sora fought, so who is it?"
"The guy that switches persona in an instant and apparently the nobody of Axel eh- Lea's friend. The Lunar Diviner, Saïx."
Sai overheard what the name of the next opponent was. "Saïx. . . The same name that Chromoruxia gave my nobody." Sai then started to walk over to Xion as Hinata and Naruto picked her from her fettle position.
"Sai?" Naruto asked him as he came over.
"What up?" Hinata asked.
Xion got back on her two feet as she looked at Sai. "Is there something you need?"
Sai stared deeply at her. "Yes there is." He hesitated before continuing. "You see, back on the mission when me, Naruto, Sakura and Hinata encountered Chromoruxia with Kabuto and his nobody Xotbaku, Chromoruxia took my nobody out and gave him the same name as the original organization Saïx."
"I see. And that brings us to you wanting. . ." Xion said.
"I would like to fight this Saïx." Sai deducted.
This surprised Xion and Naruto.
"You sure Sai?" Naruto asked.
"He's really tough, and I mean REALLY tough." Xion said.
"I would figure that but still would like to fight him." Sai said with the fake smile plastered on his face.
Kakashi noticed what he said from a distance. "Sai. . . What are you up to?" He muttered.
Xion thought for a second as she looked beyond Sai's fake smile to see something she would've never thought she see from him, a will of determination and what looked like some pent up anger. She then smiled at him. "Alright, you can fight him."
This surprised Naruto and Hinata.
"Xion, are you sure about this?" Hinata asked.
"Seriously?" Naruto asked as he then whispered in her ear. "You know that he works for that bastard Danzō."
"I know but I think this would be good experience for him if he has to ever fight his own Nobody." Xion whispered back.
"Alright," Naruto started as he turned to Sai. "But I'll chose the two going with you because I realized that I'm gonna fight the last three members."
"Far enough Naruto." Sai and Xion said semi-unison.
Naruto then looked at the rest of the group. "Well Ino, Tenten, Sakura, Shikamaru and Choji all have gone already and I think they deserve a break at least from fighting for a while." Naruto thought. "That leaves Shino, Kiba with Akamaru and Bushy Brows."
"Hey Xion." Hinata said out of the blue.
"Yeah?" Xion replied.
"What was Saïx's element? Cause I've noticed that the other members also used mainly a certain element. Roxas used light, Larxene use thunder, Marluxia use blossoms, Luxord used time, Demyx used water and Axel used fire. So what's Saïx's?" Hinata asked.
Xion pondered at this for a moment. Naruto was listening close to them. "He uses the power of the moon."
"The moon?" Naruto and Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I've figured out that besides Axel and Roxas, the places that the portals are bring us to is where each Organization member was 'permanently' defeated. Saïx was defeated in a room with a giant glass window with the moon outside it at the World that Never Was."
Hinata then came to a realization. "Was the moon there. . ."
"Yes, Kingdom Hearts." Xion stated.
"So this Saïx drew his power from the Kingdom Hearts moon." Naruto stated as he remembered an event during the training month Xion was getting the preparations ready.
(Flashback)
Naruto just finished his training for the eighth day in a row. His element training session with Kakashi and some help from Hinata constantly made him exhausted but he didn't care. He was taking a short walk through the forest. It was the dead of night and the full moon was out. Naruto looked at it and smiled. "Huh, pretty night." He muttered as he suddenly heard what sounded like a wolf howling in the night. "What the-!?" He rushed to the source to see someone he would've never thought he see. "Kiba? Akamaru?" He whispered as he looked, hiding in the bushes.
Kiba sniffed the air and couldn't help but chuckle. "Naruto." He muttered. "Alright then, let's give him a show. Ready for our new move Akamaru?"
Akamaru happily barked in agreement.
"Alright! Let's do this!" He said as he started to make multiple hand signs as he then paused for a moment.
Naruto had a confused look on his face as he then saw something really strange.
Kiba's skin started to change as it went from tan all the way to light red, although his Inuzuka marks were still darker. His hair then became a darker red and started to grow down his back. He then started to hunch over as his muscles grew out, his face became more animal like, his claws and fangs grew out, and his eyes became slinted like Naruto's do like when he is influenced by the fox. His clothes started to rip off, leaving only his pants.
"What in the world!?" Naruto whispered as he then looked at Akamaru as he went through some similar changes. His fur became red, he grew a few inches and finally he stood on his back legs. "Akamaru too!? What kind of jutsu is this!?"
Kiba then started to chuckle, his voice clearly deeper. "Alright! The new technique worked! Ninja art: Dual Blood Werewolves is a success!" Kiba and Akamaru then reverted back to their normal forms after a quick howl to the moon. "Ah geez, I'm gonna need a new shirt now." Akamaru whined a little as the two looked at the moon. "To think we can only did that move during the full moon." Kiba muttered.
Naruto was amazed at what they did. "Ninja Art: Dual Blood Werewolves. . ." He muttered as he saw them walk off, not noticing Kiba smirking clearly at him.
(Flashback end)
Naruto clearly remembered that night and that incredible transformation. "He said that move could only be used when it was a full moon." He thought as he looked at the two and smiled. "Yeah, Kiba and Akamaru would go great against this guy since they both use the moon." The he noticed Lee, still stretching like mad. "I think Lee should go as well." He thought as he sweat dropped.
"Well Naruto, have you decided who would be fighting along Sai?" Xion asked.
Naruto nodded his head. "Yup." He then proceeded to tell Xion his choices to fight and reasons why, except he left out the part with Kiba and Akamaru's new jutsu.
"Alright then," Xion started saying as she looked at Lee and sweat dropped at the sight of him exercising with fire coming from his eyes. "He's gonna be happy about this isn't he?"
"Yup." Naruto bluntly said with a sweat drop again.
Xion then gathered everyone around to announce who would fight against Saïx. Though Xion, Hinata, Naruto and Sai all knew. Naruto decided to tell Hinata before hand and she approved of it, saying that Kiba and Lee have been waiting to fight for a while and that they would like to fight a really strong opponent.
"Alright everyone." Xion announced as she stood in front of the portal with a claymore. "I believe it's time for the next fight." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"So whose is the next opponent?" Shikamaru as he yawned from his nap.
Xion then sigh. "Well, the next opponent is a guy that can basically switch personalities in an instant. His element that he uses is the moon."
"I'm gonna have to guess that the personality changes is also caused by the moon as well." Shino asked, intrigued for the moment.
Xion nodded her head. "Yeah it's the cause."
"So whose fighting this guy?!" Kiba loudly asked. "I've anxious to fight!" Akamaru baked in agreement.
"KIBA IS RIGHT! I TOO HAVE BEEN ANXIOUS T FIGHT AS WELL AND SPREAD MY FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Lee cheered causing everyone to sweat drop again at his antics.
Xion could help but chuckle a bit since she knew they were going to be going against him. "Oh so you three are saying that you want to fight?"
"Yes!" Kiba and Lee said in semi-unison with Akamaru barking in agreement.
"Well the truth was I only thought of one person to go so far. So since you three are willing to go, then so it shall be, you three will being fight him." Xion explained.
"Wait, I thought only a maximum three people could go in to the portal." Ino pondered.
"I think I know of a way that Kiba and Akamaru could go in at once." Xion said as she smiled at them.
"Let me guess, riding on Akamaru's back?" Kiba asked with a smirk.
"You read my mind there Kiba." Xion said, smiling as she watched Kiba get on Akamaru's back.
"SO IT'S ME, KIBA AND AKAMARU SO FAR. WHO IS THE LAST YOUTHFUL PERSON THAT WILL BE BATTLING WITH US?" Lee loudly asked.
"I was getting to that Lee." Xion said as she then continued. "The last person that will be joining you is. . ."
"Me." Sai said as he stepped forward with his fake smile plastered on his face. "Lets work well together. Dog boy, Caterpillar eyes."
Kakashi then palmed the side of head. "Sai, we're really gonna have to work on your social skills." He said to Sai.
Xion looked at Kiba who was obviously pissed at what Sai called him. "Calm down Kiba, it's just cause he not exactly a social person cause of his boss." She then turned to Lee, who suddenly had a mirror in his hand, examining himself and heard what sounded like 'Do my eyebrows really look like caterpillar?' while she then turned to see Tenten banging her head against the wall at Lee's sudden realization.
"Alright Xion, I'll listen this one time." Kiba said as he then stopped Akamaru from growling at Sai. "Easy boy."
Tenten was still banging her head. "He just realized this NOW!?" She muttered.
Hinata decided to pat her on the back. "There there."
Everyone's reaction was different to what Sai called Kiba and Lee. Shikamaru could help but chuckle, Shino remained emotionless, Naruto was laugh his ass off, Sakura dropped her head in shame along with Ino, Choji continued eating his chips.
Xion sweat dropped at the sight. "Moving on, you four can come up here now."
Sai, Lee and Kiba on Akamaru came up to the portal.
"Now remember, the is member number VII, he's REALLY tough in a fight since he's closest to the final six."
"The final six?" Lee asked as he looked at Kiba, who shrugged his shoulder.
"The final six were basically the founding Nobodies of Organization XIII and were Ansem's apprentices that went to work with the Xehanort that became Ansem the Seeker of Darkness for his Heartless and Xemnas who became the leader of Organization XIII." Xion explained.
"Interesting." Sai said. "So they should be the strongest right?"
"Yup."
"Alright, I'm ready to go!" Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"YOSH I AM READY TO SPREAD MY FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Lee cheered.
Tenten couldn't help but palm her face again. "Will he ever stop ranting about youth?" She muttered.
"Good luck you guys." Naruto said as he gave them a thumbs-up.
"Thanks Naruto." Kiba said as he and Akamaru entered the portal at the same time.
"Don't overexert yourself Lee." Sakura said, slightly worried for him.
"Don't worry Sakura, I will not!" Lee said as he gave her a thumbs-up and went into the portal.
Sai was about to say but he then thought he saw something blue crawling around. "Hmm?"
"What is it Sai?" Kakashi asked.
Sai shook his head. "Oh it's nothing." He then headed in, causing the portal to turn yellow and everyone else gathered around the computer screen, not noticing something crawling around the garden.
In the arena, Sai instantly took out his notebook and started sketching the Kingdom Hearts moon.
"Um Sai, is that really the time?" Lee asked.
Sai didn't answer him as he continued, getting every detail.
Kiba couldn't help but have a sweat drop as he got off Akamaru, although he didn't take his eyes off the moon. "I'm guessing that's a yes." Akamaru then barked in agreement, also still eyeing the moon.
Back outside. . .
Kakashi sweat dropped at Sai's current actions. "Drawing. . . Now of all times?"
"Sai just really likes drawing." Sakura said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Looks like my plan work." Xion said as she noticed Kiba not being on Akamaru's back anymore.
Naruto noticed Kiba and Akamaru eyeing the moon.
Back in the arena of the future battle. . .
The data started to appear as Sai finished up the drawing.
"Here we go." Kiba said as he got into a stance, not noticing Akamaru suddenly look of displeasure.
"I will show this opponent my flames of youth!" Lee deemed as also got into a stance.
Sai got into a stance after putting his notebook away.
The data formed into a man that had the usual Organization XIII coat, had long blue hair, yellow eyes, pointed ears and a very noticeable X shaped scar on his face. He was holding a claymore that was a smooth, white handle with a grey spike set in its pommel. The guard is a pale yellow semi-circle with four small notches in its outer edge. The lower part of the main blade is thick and has concave sides, each side being lined by three small notches. The blade is pale blue and has blue-grey edges. The lower half of the blade is decorated by two small, light blue diamonds. The tip is connected to the main blade by a pale yellow symbol shaped like the top half of the Nobody logo. "Hmm. . ." He then gave the four a blank but sour look.
Kiba flinched for a moment and then glare back at him. "What?" He smugly asked as Akamaru growled at him, although he was still moving uncomfortably.
"So. . ." Saïx started saying. "Your part of the group that's been taking out our members. . ."
"So you know about our group." Sai said as he stared at him.
"Yes indeed." Saïx blandly replied. "Although, I never expected the doll to be alive again after Roxas took it out."
"Doll?" Lee asked, confused at what he said.
Back outside. . .
Xion clenched her fist at what Saïx said, Hinata noticed it and placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her head as Xion looked at her and smiled.
Naruto was still confused. "Who's he talking about?"
Back in the arena. . .
"I mean the one you know as Xion. . ." Saïx explained.
"What!? Xion's no doll you bastard!" Kiba yelled out.
"I guess you don't. . ." Saïx then turned and looked at the moon. "Fine then, I'll explain it to you. You see, Xion was suppose to a replica of Roxas. Xemnas's goal was to replicate Sora's memories and through them, his powers to make our own. Vexen, another member oversaw the project at Castle Oblivion, although our efforts were severely derailed with his demise. That one replica, the one you know as Xion, came to form an identity of her own. It caught us off guard and even eventually learned to pull it's own strings like a puppet she was suppose to be." Saïx further explained.
"Interesting. . ." Sai muttered.
Back outside. . .
"Bastard, Xion's no doll anymore. She's become an actually person now." Naruto muttered.
"Thanks." Xion said with a smile.
Back in the arena. . .
"Yeah so what you ass!?" Kiba snarled. "She's not like that anymore." Akamaru started to bark wildly at him
"This is indeed true." Lee stated. "Her flames of youth are as bright as the morning sun."
Saïx shook his head. "If I had a heart, this would be where I die of laughter." He kept his glare solely focused on the three.
"Then just die already!" Kiba yelled back.
Saïx then deepen his glare. "What she is now, it'll end with the same faith." He turned to face Kingdom Hearts shining outside the window. He spread out his arms, basking in its lunar glow. "Do you feel it? The moon's power!"
Back outside, Xion started to shiver in fear. "Oh no. . ." She started to back away from the monitor.
"Xion?" Sakura asked.
"He's gonna. . ."
Back in the arena. . .
"Moon, shine down!" Saïx rose up into the air like an angel rising up to the heavens. Light blue flames radiated around him as an unnerving amount of energy seemed to burst out from within his body.
Everyone, both outside and in the arena (except Shino, and Sai) jaws dropped at what just happened.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Kiba and Naruto yelled out, Kiba was covering his eyes from the sheer power from Saïx.
Saïx then roared as he started to slam his claymore, creating a blue flame shockwave.
"Move!" Lee said as they did what he said, now each of them were at the four corners of the arena.
Akamaru suddenly started to back wildly as if he was in pain of some sort.
"What is it Akamaru!?" Kiba yelled as he avoided one of Saïx's attacked as he then rushed into Lee. Kiba then went over to Akamaru.
Lee realized that he need to take off the weights he had on his legs, so after dodging one his attacks, he got some distance from him and quickly took them off, causing two small crater to appear. "Now I move freely!" He then speed into Saïx.
Saïx's eyes tracked his movements as she desperately tried to leap over Saïx's energy ripples. Without warning, he flung his claymore into Lee's path. "MOVE ASIDE!" He screamed.
Lee barely dodged it as it skinned his arm. "GAH!" He then regrouped with Sai.
Akamaru continued barking as Kiba went over to him.
"Akamaru, what is it?" Kiba asked. Akamaru barked rapidly as Kiba understood it and paled. "NOW OF ALL TIMES YOU NEED TO?!" Akamaru shamefully nodded his head.
Back outside. . .
Most of the group was confused at what Kiba had said to Akamaru. . .all except Shino.
"I should've told Akamaru NOT to drink all that water. . ." Shino muttered.
Back in the arena. . .
Kiba tried to find Saïx, but he was moving to wildly. "Well, I think we can use this as an advantage. Let's go Akamaru!" Akamaru replied in agreement as they started to move wildly like Saïx. "Everyone move! Akamaru's gonna get a scent on him!"
"What!?" Everyone said as Akamaru started to spin wildly in the air, after jumping into the air.
Back outside, everyone then knew what Akamaru was gonna do, except Xion.
"What's Akamaru doing?" Xion asked.
"Ugh. . . Kiba. . ." Shino muttered.
"I can't believe he's resorting to THAT now." Kakashi said as he and Shikamaru palmed their faces.
'I don't get it. What's he doing?" Xion asked.
Back in the arena. . .
Saïx calmed down after a while. "I misjudged you three." He then saw Akamaru in the air, spinning as he bounced off the walls. "What kind of act is this?"
Sai then went over to Lee. "What is Dog boy's dog doing?" He asked.
"Dynamic Marking Akamaru!" Kiba called out.
Lee was about to answer but what Akamaru did beat him to it as Akamaru sprayed a yellow liquid.
Outside, Xion realized what Akamaru was doing. "EW! That's disgusting Akamaru!" She yelled. In her mind she was laughing wildly. "Aw man that's frickin awesome Akamaru!"
Back in the arena. . .
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Saïx asked as avoided some of Akamaru's urine.
"That's it Akamaru, think that the X on his face is a target!" Kiba cheered, but also avoiding the urine. "Hey watch it with that!" Akamaru then barked again, sounding like he was apologizing.
Lee and Sai also dodged Akamaru's urine as they tried to fight Saïx. "This isn't exactly the most youthful thing to do in a fight." Sai didn't say anything as he got splashed in the face with some urine. Akamaru then barked an apology again.
Everything was going fine until. . .
SPLASH!
Saïx's face got soaked with Akamaru's urine. He stopped moving instantly as if he was frozen.
"Alright! We got him now!" Kiba cheered as he rejoined Akamaru. The two then felt a very large amount of killing intent from Saïx. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to do what we did." Akamaru barked in agreement.
"I don't that was the best move for those two to make." Sai deducted.
"I believe you are right there Sai." Lee said as he opened the first two gate just in case.
Back outside, Xion went back into a fettle position and rocked back and forth again. The rest of the group didn't bother asking as they had a feeling of why she what she was doing.
Back in the arena, everything was still silent. . . For at least three second until. . .
"All shall be lost to you!" Saïx snarled, blitzing toward Kiba and Akamaru at superhuman speed.
"OH CRAP!" KIba yelled as he and Akamaru barely dodged his attack and started chasing him.
Saïx roared wildly as he chased Kiba and Akamaru, attacking wildly.
"OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!" Kiba yelled as he an Akamaru were avoid another attack from Saïx.
"GET BACK HERE YOU SONNA OF BITCH!" Saïx yelled in his berserker mode.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT!" Lee yelled out to him as he tried to get closer.
"I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR OUR SIDE!" Kiba yelled back.
"Kiba!" Lee called out as he tried to defend him.
"MOVE ASIDE!" Saïx yelled as he threw his claymore at him.
"This man is indeed strong. . ." Sai muttered as look on at Saïx with a little fear in his eyes as he attacked Kiba, Akamaru and Lee.
Saïx was so enraged that he wasn't even using human language anymore. Instead his entire vocabulary became a series of snarls and growls.
Back outside. . .
"Jeez he's almost as bad as a Tail Beast." Naruto commented. This caused him to gain glares from everyone except Hinata and Xion.
Back in the arena. . .
"I'm gonna have to open three more gates!" Lee thought as he proceeded to do so.
Kiba and Akamaru decided to make a smart move and hang from the ceiling of the arena as they worked on doing what he did and gathered some moon light. "Whoa, now this is some incredible energy." Kiba muttered as they concentrated.
Sai rapidly made as many ink lions as he could before Saïx decided to go for him. "Crap!" He rolled up the scroll and started dodging for dear life.
It's time to end this!" Both Lee and Kiba thought as they completed what they were doing. Lee's skin turned completely red as he surged with chakra. Kiba made the handsigns as he and Akamaru became werewolves, but this time, Kiba's clothes didn't rip when he transformed. They charged into Saïx, who was still in a crazy frenzy.
Lee gave him a strong kick to the chin, launching him to the air. He then proceeded to move so fast that no one was able to see him and rapidly attack in.
Kiba and Akamaru joined in as they used an improved Fang Over Fang that moved as fast as Lee.
"THE FINAL BLOW!" Lee and Kiba announced as Lee drop kicked Saïx to the ground and Kiba and Akamaru proceeded to drill into Saïx's chest.
Sai then released all the ink lions he made as they started to maul him. He then walked up to him and slashed him in the neck.
"GAAAH!" Saïx screamed in pain as he faded away.
Lee, Kiba and Akamaru returned to normal as they all panted from that intense fight they just had.
"Akamaru. . .Go to the bathroom BEFORE we go into a fight from now on." Akamaru quickly agreed with him on that.
"That. . . indeed. . .was a youthful battle. . ." Lee barely stated.
Sai didn't know what to say from that experience.
Back outside, everyone was speechless at what just happened until the bright light appeared in and out of the arena.
The group appeared at a badlands like area like when they first saw Ventus and Master Xehanort, only there was one difference. That being they were keyblades around them and the only clearing was where they saw Terra, in the middle where the keyblades separated into four directions.
I guess this is. . ." Naruto started.
"The Keyblade Graveyard. . ." Xion finished.
"Holy crap." Kiba muttered as Sakura healed his, Akamaru, Lee and Sai's wounds. She Akamaru first, Lee second, Sai third and finally Kiba.
"That was not that the best move you made Kiba." Sakura angrily muttered.
"I agree with Sakura on this one." Lee said.
The group was beside Terra as they then heard footsteps as they saw Aqua walking towards Terra from one of the crossroad.
Aqua stopped when she got close to him and had a depressed look on her face. "I was told. . . the Master was struck down."
Terra gasped as he then looked away with a guilty look on his face. "Yes. . . That's right. I was stupid and helped Xehanort do it."
"Hold on!" Naruto blurted out, even though they could hear him. "It wasn't even his fault, it was that asshole Xehanort's fault!"
"Naruto. . ." Hinata said as she held his hand.
Aqua gasped as if she was hoping it wasn't true.
"The Master-he tried to hurt Ven. I only fought because I wanted to protect him."
"Their's no problem with wanting to protect your friends." Kakashi said.
"But I was tricked." Terra said as he clenched hi fist. "Xehanort set the whole thing up- all so he could wake the darkness inside me."
"But why though?" Xion muttered.
Terra then looked back at Aqua. "You were right, Aqua- and so was the Master. I did need to be watched. I went astray- but no more."
Aqua was silent for a while with her eyes closed. "What else is darkness but hate and rage? Xehanort is feeding the dark fires within you- making you fight. You'll go astray again. Tell me- how does that honor our Master's memory, Terra?"
"Man. . ." Naruto started.
"What is it Naruto?" Hinata asked.
"I just wondering if was in that kind of situation. . . and it wasn't pretty." Naruto then held his stomach and shivered a bit.
Terra then turned to see Ventus walking from another one of the crossroads.
"The three meet up again." Kakashi said.
"Yeah." Xion said.
Aqua walked up right next to Terra as Ventus comes up to the two of them.
"Xehanort wants me and Vanitas to fight, and make some sort of "χ-blade."But the Master said we can't let that happen. . . and he tried to destroy me for it."
"χ-blade?" Aqua wondered.
"Poor Ven. . ." Xion said.
"Yeah. . ." Hinata said.
"I still don't know exactly what it is." Ventus then put his hand to his chest. "But. . . it scares me to death. Even just the thought of it."
Terra then walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Relax, Ven. We're here now and we're gonna take care of you."
"At least they still care for him." Naruto said.
"Yeah, like a brothers and sister relationship." Xion said.
"I may have to fight Vanitas after all. If I do guys. . ." Ventus started. "I want you to-"
The group gasped at Ventus was about to say.
"He's not gonna!?" Sakura asked.
"The three of us can never be torn apart, alright?" Terra said "I'll always find a way.
Aqua sighed as she placed a hand on Ventus's face.
Ventus then reopened his eyes as he took then hands off him. "I'm asking you, as a friend. . . Just. . . put an end to me."
The group, Terra and Aqua gasped at his request.
"I guess he would really want to stop Xehanort. . . No matter the cost." Kakashi said, starting to sound a little depressed himself.
The wind started to blow in direct as they all turned to the direction it was blowing from. Walking towards them in that direction was a familiar old man. Beside him, his apprentice appeared. The two stopped as the wind also stopped.
"Him again. . ." Naruto growled along with Kiba and Akamaru.
The rest of the group glared at Xehanort and Vanitas who was holding his keyblade.
Kakashi had a little fear in him, mainly cause of the power he was emitting that caused him to shiver. "Like I said before. . .worse then Orochimaru. . ."
"Behold. . . These lifeless keys used to fill of power- united with the hearts of their masters. On this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were locked in combat. . . as a great Keyblade War raged."
"There is no point in wars. . .just pain and destruction." Kakashi muttered as everyone except Sai nodded in agreement.
"Countless Keyblade wielders gave up their lives, all in search of one, ultimate key. And it will soon belong to me. . ." Xehanort then pointed to Ventus. "χ-blade."
Terra, Aqua and Ventus scold at him as they pressed a metal piece on their bodies, encasing them in light. When it dimmed down they were in suits of armor and strangely had cape now. The group recognized Terra's armor from before but then noticed the armors on Ventus and Aqua. Ventus's armor was green and gold, had a yellow cape, the armor on his knee is gold and bears a sharp, upward-pointing hook on the outer side of each one, his helmet had a notably different design from Aqua and Terra's, appearing more squashed and flat at the top and it also has two prongs on either side of his head which point backwards and angle diagonally upward. Aqua's armor was mostly colored in shades of silver, black, grey and blue. The group was able to notice things like the additions include a silver breastplate resembling an upside-down crescent moon and a dark-visored helmet. Her helmet, like Ventus and Terra's, bears two prongs on either side, with her silver ones wrapping around the sides and angling diagonally downwards. Her cape is that of a dusty-rose color. Terra's cape that he had now was navy blue.
"I guess this is like a final battle moment. . ." Kakashi noted as he and the others felt the suspense in the air. The other could agree with him on that.
Naruto looked at the armored keyblade wielder, then Hinata and Xion, back at them and then back at Hinata and Xion. "Do you girls got armor like that?"
Xion winces at the question while Hinata replies. "Well. . . This actually the first we've heard about this kind of armor. We'll have to ask Master Yen Sid when we see him again."
Xion starts to sweat rapidly as they continue watching. "Maybe I should tell them the armor I had at one point but. . ." She thought as she continued watching.
Terra charged into Xehanort, and Xehanort responds by shifting the earth beneath them to create a rising plateau that carries Terra above the rest.
"Holy crap!" Kiba yells out in surprise.
"To be able to lift pure earth like that. . .and not be a ninja. . .it's just frightening. . ." Kakashi admitted.
Xehanort then lifts the ground beneath himself as well, creating a cliff much higher than the surrounding terrain. While Vanitas strikes Terra with Thunder, and is immediately pursued by Aqua and Ventus, Terra chases after Xehanort, who creates a Keyblade infused cyclone to aid Vanitas against Aqua and Ventus.
The group noticed that the area started to darken as clouds covered the sky.
"Incoming!" Naruto yelled as he saw the cyclone of keyblades.
"Ven!" Aqua yelled as the two were chased by the cyclone.
Vanitas tries to blast them with Blizzard while riding a keyblade on the cyclone, but they dodge it. Ventus tries to fight him directly as Aqua tries to blast him with Thunder but Vanitas dodges it and lands back on the cyclone after getting off it before for a short while.
"Man this getting intense!" Sakura said as the group covered their eyes from the shear power.
Noticing that Terra is getting closer to Xehanort, Vanitas directs the cyclone towards Terra, knocking him off the cliff. Aqua and Ventus watch in horror, and Aqua gets hit by the cyclone, crashing to the ground, obliterating her helmet completely.
Ventus then goes over to her, being concern for his friend. "Aqua!"
"Terra!" Aqua calls out as she casts Reflect magic on Terra to protect him from the cyclone. The spell protects him from the cyclone until the he is pushed up to where Xehanort is, at which point it explodes, blasting the cyclone to pieces.
"Whoa!" Naruto calls out in amazement.
Terra is dropped to where Xehanort is. Terra briefly duels Xehanort until the old man freezes his left arm. Ventus attempts to attack Xehanort from behind, but Xehanort teleports himself behind Ven and grabs him by the helmet, beginning to crush it.
"Ven!" Xion and Terra called out in semi-unison as Terra stumbles forward, probably in an attempt to help Ven, until Vanitas and the Keyblade infused cyclone inexplicably reappear below Terra's feet, hurling him off the cliff as countless keyblades batter his body.
"Shit!" Kiba swore, getting a smack to the head by Ino.
Xehanort and Vanitas stand at the top of the cliff, still holding Ven, presumably so Aqua could see him. "Ven!" When she does, Xehanort first burns and then freezes Ventus.
Naruto clenched his fist as he wanted to punch Xehanort right in the face as Hinata stopped him, shaking her head in disappointment, knowing that it wouldn't work.
As Aqua looks on in horror, Xehanort throws him off the cliff, shattering his helmet off. Aqua was able to catch before he would've shattered to bits, using her own body to protect him. She then got out from under him and looked at him. "Ven, are you ok?" She heard moans from him, now knowing he still alive.
Naruto couldn't help but face fault a little. "Uh, he was frickin frozen. . .OF COURSE HE WOULDN'T BE ALRIGHT!" The rest couldn't help but sweat drop at the brief rant from Naruto.
Back with Xehanort, he turns his keyblade into a purple and blue ball of flame-like energy, which he shoots upwards to part the gathering dark clouds, revealing Kingdom Hearts as he chuckled with his results.
The group along with Aqua looked in horror as Xehanort summoned Kingdom Hearts, Aqua still holding the frozen Ventus.
Kiba, Akamaru, Lee and Sai then noticed something was different about this Kingdom Hearts. "Wait a minute. The Kingdom Hearts that was with Saïx used was a different color." Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"I wonder if that means something?" Sakura asked as everyone shrugged their shoulders.
Soon the bright light appeared again and the group returned to the garden, Sai being the one who was holding Saïx's claymore and almost falling on his back from the sheer weight of it. Tenten took out the scroll with the other Organization weapons in it and sealed it right next to Axel's.
"Jeez, I wonder what else there's to show?" Naruto asked as everyone tries to ponder when. . .
"Ven. . . Terra. . .Ah-koo, wa. . ." A high pitched voice said.
Huh?" Sakura said in surprise as everyone pulled out a kunai and searched for the source of the voice.
Naruto then looked up to see a creature fall on his face, knocking him to the ground. "Hey!"
The group was confused at what they saw, a creature that was coated with blue fur, darker patches on the back of his head and on his back as well. A domed nose rests in the center of its face, between large black, tear-shaped eyes. Sharp teeth reside in this creature's mouth, along with a long pink tongue. It had clawed hands and stubby legs that have shorter claws themselves. A short tail came out from its rear.
"What the!?" Kiba reacted as he never seen a creature like this before. Even though he was in a different world, it was still an unusual creature.
"Get off me!" Naruto yelled as he tried to push the creature off, but it jumps off him, landing on Sakura, Ino, Lee and Tenten's heads before running off out of the garden. "Why you!" Naruto goes after it out of the garden.
"Naruto wait up!" Hinata calls out as she quickly pursues her boyfriend.
"Naruto! Hinata!" Kakashi calls out as he is then interrupted from a beeping in his pocket. "Oh the communicator from Leon." Kakashi then takes out the communicator. "What is it?" He heard sounds of fire burning and static from the communicator.
"Kakashi, we need you and your group here now!" Leon said.
"What happened?" Kakashi asked.
"Maleficent. . .She attacking. . .need. . .you-" The communicator was cut off.
