Hollow Bastion (The Past)

Riku landed hard on the ground. He painfully looked up. He saw Larxene lying unconscious on the ground and Marluxia walking towards him.

"You were foolish to think that you could take both of us on," Marluxia said.

Riku picked himself back up and drew his weapon. Riku had many cuts and was bleeding from all of them.

"You can't continue in that condition. You are finished."

Marluxia lashed out with his scythe. Riku moved in slow-motion, blocking the worst of the attack but it cut deep into his arm. Riku yelled out in pain and jumped backwards, stumbling and then falling again. Marluxia walked calmly towards Riku, but then a portal opened up and it swallowed Riku up.

On a Gummi ship (The Past)

Riku came out of the portal onto Mickey's ship. Waiting for him were Namine, Leon, and Aerith.

Aerith treated Riku's wounds as the new situation was explained to him.

"The Organization destroyed us. Everyone else is dead. Cid managed to pick us up. His ship is near ours," Leon said with one of his hands to his temples.

Riku sat in silence for awhile and finally said," Leon, Aerith, I need the both of you to go to Destiny Islands. Protect Kairi. I'm going to go after the Organization. I'm not going to stop until every single one of them are dead."

"What about me?" Namine asked.

"I'll need someone to watch our ship as we travel about," Riku replied." You're the only good choice I have for multiple reasons."

"You don't trust me around Kairi, do you?"

Riku only replied with a slight nod. Namine looked down at her feet and turned away.

Madara's Quarters (The Present)

"Then go get this Leon. I will send the two of you along with Hidan and Kakuzu whom you have already met, straight into the heart of the Organization. Itachi has been made prisoner. I want him freed."

"Alright, I'll get going then," Riku replied.

After Riku had gone, Zetsu came in.

"What are you going to do with him after we've destroyed the Organization?" Zetsu asked.

"Kill him of course," Madara said with no hesitation. "He has too much power in him to leave him alone."

The Organization's Castle

The elevator finally rose into view, but it was empty. Saix and Luxord regarded the elevator with suspicion. Saix then ducked, sending a haymaker as he spun around. Itachi had appeared behind him to stab him with a kunai. Itachi blocked the punch and retaliated with a kick that sent Saix slamming into the wall of the elevator. Luxord sliced with a card that Itachi cut down the middle with his kunai. He got in close to Luxord reaching out with his hand, but then Itachi had to back off as Saix lashed out with a blow from his hammer that would have shattered Itachi's skull.

Itachi landed near a staircase leading out of the hallway. Itachi's eyes narrowed, considering his next course of action. After weighing his options he decided to stay and fight. Trying to escape would be too difficult with two powerful opponents on his tail. Especially since he didn't know the quickest way out.

Saix took a deep breath in, seemingly invigorated by the battle. He seemed to be gathering strength. Itachi made shadow clones of himself and attacked. Saix and Luxord attacked in tandem, one with his hammer and the other with his cards. Itachi and his opponents traded blows, neither gaining the upper hand.

Konoha

With Kakashi effectively out of the battle, it was just Axel and Roxas against Sasori. The puppet of the Kazekage picked itself back up from the effects of the Graviga attack and pounded at Roxas with a block of iron sand. Roxas rolled aside grabbing Oblivion in the roll. Axel sent out a wall of fire at the Puppet Kazekage, but it formed a barrier out of the iron sand. The sand was heated up immensely, but it held firm. Roxas used another Graviga attack, but the iron sand even withheld that. The iron sand formed a spin top and it was intent on grinding Roxas to a pulp. Roxas barely dodged the first pass and diverted the second pass with his keyblade. Blocking it took tremendous effort and Roxas was knocked back into the wall of the building, cracking it. Both the Kazekage and the spinning top both charged Roxas, the kazekage on the ground and spinning top in the air. Axel tried to reach Roxas, but a wall of iron sand blocked his way. Roxas just waited, waiting for the right timing. Roxas then used another Graviga attack on the spin top. It drove it down straight into the Puppet Kazekage, completely shattering it. The top stopped and fell over. The ruins of the Puppet Kazekage fell at Roxas's feet.

The building they were in, was in shambles. The fight had opened it to the sky.

"You all keep destroying my best works of art. I suppose though, I will just have to make new ones out of yourselves," Sasori mused.

A scroll then appeared in Sasori's hand. He threw it out before him and countless shapes seemed to jump out of the scroll. Soon, a massive army had appeared around Sasori.

"Behold, my army of Puppets. I have defeated nations with these. A mere two members of the Organization cannot stop them," Sasori said with absolute certainty.

Kakashi was still incapacitated on the ground, so it was still just Axel and Roxas against Sasori, and now an army of puppets.

"Heh, we've had worse times Roxas," Axel said.

"We have?" Roxas asked, doubtful.

"Sure, like that one time…"Axel started, trailing off afterwards.

A cave

Pain drew close to Lexaeus and attacked directly. Lexaeus defended with wide swings from his tomahawk, trying to keep Pain back. Pain eventually broke through Lexaeus's defense as he was rather slow. He landed a few blows and then used his powers to send kunai at Lexaeus's back. Lexaeus spun, knocking the kunai aside. Pain jumped over the spin attack and landed on top of Lexaeus's back. He then dragged Lexaeus down to the ground by wrapping his legs around Lexaeus's neck. Pain flipped away at the last second to avoid falling also. As Pain landed he fell in a sinkhole that Lexaeus had created. It quickly filled up, trapping Pain in place. Lexaeus buried his tomahawk in the ground and sent a cascade of boulders at Pain. Pain deflected the largest one to destroy the others. The boulder shattered, raining down around him. Then through the dust, Lexaeus's tomahawk came flying through it. Pain somehow managed to twist his body to go flat to avoid it. It grazed his nose, breaking it. Pain then broke free of the sinkhole, and sent Lexaeus's tomahawk back at him. Lexaeus caught, and was driven back a few feet. Pain stood up straight, feeling his nose. Some of the chakra plugs had been destroyed in the nose, but he still had sufficient control.

Up on the cliff Xaldin and Konan fought. Konan turned into paper after being hit by the beam. Xaldin sent gust after gust of wind, but failed to knock any paper about. Konan then formed again behind Xaldin and stabbed at him with a paper spear. Xaldin crossed two of his lances and caught the strike right before it could stab him. Xaldin turned around and caught Konan by the throat. She let out a choked gasp, but then turned to paper and started to cover Xaldin's arm and then started to move to his mouth and neck. Konan started to choke the life out of Xaldin. Xaldin's spears dropped to the ground as he clawed at the paper covering his mouth. Fighting for breath he fell to his knees. His vision was starting to narrow and go dark.

In Vexen's Quarters

"I assume since you called me here that means my replica is done. Correct?" Zexion asked Vexen.

"That is correct Zexion. I also thought I would show you the other project I'm working on," Vexen responded.

Vexen walked towards the back of his quarters and Zexion followed him. Vexen made a grand motion with his arm to the tank before them.

"I give you, our very own version of a 'ninja'." Vexen said with pride. "With the data I've gathered on our enemies I have put them together to form this. My encounter with our prisoner gave me the final piece I needed. I shall the give the sharkman's sword to him as soon as I can retrieve it."

"Have you thought of a name for this… person?" Zexion asked.

"Beyond Replica No. 4? No."

"I would suggest you give him a name. I'll think on it myself also."

With that, Zexion walked out of the room and Vexen returned to his work.
