B: Promise broken Resolution

"No matter…where you go I'll be with you…"

"Don't ever change" Her words still had an impact, and eased the pain slightly. He did not change until he found something that made him change, something that morphed him…made him strong, at a price – a price he would pay for an eternity – changed he had yes, broke his word but…in his eyes it was worth it. It would always be worth it, if it meant saving everything she at one point loved.

He rushed into the building, Rikku, Tidus, and Yuna lagging behind. Sora wasn't one to wait for them; he saw Reno and the rest of the Turks he rushed towards them and shot off a fire spell followed by a rapid Thundaga. The explosion let him slip through the group leaving them for the rest – He had other pressing matters to deal with.

"SORA!" Tidus shouted as he tried getting through the building that was quickly becoming a visible battleground, dogging a gunshot, Tidus got into battle stance.

"We don't have time…for you," Tseng said menacingly

"Funny, we don't have time for you ETHER!" Tidus smirked

Sora continued up the steps his resolve weakening then renewing itself in a constant struggle he almost wanted to go out there and let himself be taken by the flames for a split second, he killed Yuffie…he could probably do the same for him just as easily…would it hurt? Would it be worth it…Would…

"Don't give up…" Her voice snapped him out of his mental anguish

"You've helped me through everything, even after your death…I won't give up, not yet." His eyes calm but quickly became a bright red.

"I…WILL DEFEAT YOU!" Sora shouted as he tore through the door above him with chaotic grace and his keyblades met with Genesis's own blade.

He ran towards the red haired enigma, his vision blurred with a bright light one last time a hand caressing his cheek gently

"Be careful…Don't give up, don't lose. Win, for everyone." The voice calmed his distraught nature, He effortlessly summoned his blades Fenrir and Dirge of Chaos and turned on his heel slicing at his foe horizontally only for his blade to meet flames. Sora was not deterred, from his strike and kept swinging.

"It seems, you've calmed yourself…I'm surprised, I did kill someone you cared about…aren't you angry!?" Genesis sneered as he extended his blade to half the length of the Masamune Sora was a slightly shocked until he noticed his eyes, hair even speech changed slightly.

"You…aren't even you anymore are you!?" Sora shouted

"And if I'm not?" Genesis retaliated shooting up a gust of wind at the keyblader

"Then that takes the fun out of killing you…" Sora said slightly on edge, he let chaos take over instantly and let the mako in his body overwhelm him.

"Seems you still want my head if you're already going this far…child."

"After everything…" Memories of his beloved and his own mental and physical anguish flooded his mind

"-You did you had this coming!" Sora shouted his keyblades filled with a radiant energy

"Xeno darkness blade!*" His keyblades formed into radiant forms of light and without missing a beat crushed them together and raised his blade sky high slamming it down on his insane enemy.

"Did you expect me to die just like that?" Genesis asked Sora could just feel the smile on his face

Sora charged the man his demeanor changed drastically.

He tried attacking overhead only for it to be shrugged off without much thought; he quickly used his second blade for a flashy spin from below and sent it upward. Genesis dogged effortlessly Sora using the momentum of his attack flipped backwards and rushed him again attacking faster than he would have ever been able to do in his normal state.

"Everything I am is because of them"

"I. Won't. Lose. To. YOU!" Sora sent a burst of dark energy from his keyblade into the enigma's face. It sent him over the edge of the building, Sora rushed off the building not missing a beat Sora attacked again. Genesis parried everything Sora threw at him, Sora pushed himself back up the building stopping himself with his blades front flipped his blades leaving a trail of light as they came up he landed effortlessly shooting an X of light at his flaming counterpart who took the strike head on.

"I'm not through yet!" Sora shouted his voice filled with hope and anger

Sora shot himself off the side of the building towards his slow falling enemy using chaos's enhanced speed to propel himself faster his blades dragging against the building, the act causing the blades to cry out in a whales of screeches that marked the man's death.

He crushed his blades against him his guard broken – it was his chance, his chance to finally end this.

"This is where…it ends." Sora let chaos and the mako surge his eyes glowing blood red he held one keyblade similar to Riku's but in a guard stance over the right side of his body, light and darkness surrounded the teenager.

"Say good bye to the hopes and dreams you wished for, this is where it all vanishes!"

"COUP DE GRACE OMEGA HIGHWIND!" All of the blades he acquired formed around him light and darkness affecting each respectively, the ones he held in his hands, Believe and Leviathans love.

"Farewell, may you…never return." Sora said softly.

"This will never kill me! I can't die I will never die I WILL BE A HERO!" Genesis shouted his breathing erratic and his eyes dilated

"How can you be a hero, when you took innocent lives? How can you be a hero when you took away people who had did nothing wrong who had people they loved…You aren't a hero but a sick and twisted villain!" The words echoed the look on Genesis's face was…pricelessly insane

"You're…wrong…you're wrong. You are wrong! YOU"RE WRONG YOU"RE WRONG YOU"RE WRONG!" He shouted flames spurred everywhere Sora reacted quickly and sent his blades slamming into the red haired man.

A bright light flashed Sora, looked up to see the sky, bright and radiant as always he got up, his vision locked towards the sky and let one tear fall as he walked away, hood up he completed his task.

"I hope you saw…Yuffie"

At the entrance, everyone was waiting even Cloud and the others from seventh heaven Tifa ran up hugging the black haired teen tears spilling onto his jacket

"We…were worried." Tifa said softly concern and care coating every word.

"I'm sor-"

"WE…We thought you'd try and end him along with yourself…I…I couldn't bear to lose someone else, after Aerith and Yuffie…I couldn't bare to lose you…" He looked around his red eyes long since gone only his radiant blue looking at each face a few people missing but the main group was there except Rikku, but that was understandable…he did hurt her. He was almost willing to accept her leaving and smile…eventually, hopefully soon he would be willing to let go and be happy even if just a little.

Cloud held his hand out.

"Let's go –"

"-To the cold void that will be your deaths!" A voice that sent Sora into a blinding rage

Without even hesitating, he shot himself towards the man above him. Genesis, covered in blood and laughing like a maniac; He was going to thrush his blade with all his might into his body and end it. For sure this time, however, he held something; a similar scenario seemed to reoccur with the man that made him boil with rage.

"I'll end her life along with that other woman, what great lengths would you go to then!? You WILL become my villain my reason for existing!" Sora, for once found a slight sliver of pity for the man – for a slight second but he could not strike he was holding Rikku.

"Just do it Sora, you need this, you need to end him for your sake and if I can help with that…I-"

"I'd NEVER do that I won't kill you to exact my revenge!" Sora grit his teeth, Rikku let a few tears slide down her face Genesis about to strike a fatal blow against the blonde – Sora about to rush the red head his eyes flaring with blood lust and hate – Genesis, full of insanity and cruel intentions.

A blitzball flew by the black haired teen and socked Genesis in the face hard enough for him to lose his grip on Rikku, Sora rushed in faster than he had ever moved slamming his blade through his chest, flowed by three more.

"This is where your reign ends."

"N-No…this is where it begins" Genesis said softly, Sora turned to his side to see a field of fire his friends – if they were alive he had no idea his mind went haywire.

"Don't lose focus SORA!" Tidus shouted stabbing Genesis – a few tears cascading down his face.

A bright hot flame surrounded Genesis he was going to implode and take everyone with him.

"Rikku get out of here….NOW!" Sora shouted

"But-"

"DO IT! We have to end this you get out of here…you have to" The look in his eyes was a look that she wished he'd shown her since she met him – she cried hard but even in her sobbing she kissed him once and with as much love as she could muster.

"I…love you." She said softly before Sora used Areoga to send her off away from the blast Sora then used Reflect to keep the blast within a contained radius.

"I don't know what made me have feelings for you, I don't think I'll ever know but…I can't hate my heart for loving someone who had done nothing but care for everyone…I just wish you'd return my feelings one day."

"Maybe…in another life Rikku, I could love you…,"He thought before his vision abruptly went white

The light engulfed both Tidus and Sora all he saw was her again

(If you could, play Second and Sebring by of mice and men at 2:30 it fits this part perfectly.)

This is not what it is only baby scars

"You're hurt again…" She said mockingly

I hope one day I make you proud

"I…was trying to keep a promise" He blushed a bit.

I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side

She turned around flowers radiating the white void around them.

"You should really be more careful," She giggled

"We wouldn't want you to-"

"I have so much to tell you" He said softly his eyes down cast.

"I know I can't stay here- I know I can't but…" Tears fell

"I need you…I can't do this alone, I-"Her arms embraced him.

I believe it's time for me to move forward.

"I'm here for you, I always will be, and I won't go away I'll never be from your side…Sora." She smiled even as tears fell.

"The light slowly faded, he panicked.

"Will find each other again, I know we will" She leaned in close and kissed him backing away bending over and crooking her neck and smile majestically even with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"…I-"

"I know Sora…I love you too, I always will." The light faded and when he was finally able to open his eyes, he saw a place he wasn't familiar with at all.

He was flowing through what seemed to be a vortex.

"I'll get even more power…and defeat you…Sora"

"I'll go to the ends of this land and gain even more strength and end everything you love!"

The vortex faded and light once again took over before Sora could so much as utter a word.

"…So be it Genesis" He smirked

"It'll end the same way"

Sora found himself on an island when he finally woke up again. He laid there wondering, staring into the sky. He closed his eyes for a few minutes letting the heat from the sun bask over him he opened his eyes again and was shocked tremendously.

"We got another one," A tan man Sora never met before said as he looked at the black haired teen Sora shot up and a few feet away stood someone he thought was gone for good he froze with disbelief.

"Wakka!?" Sora asked bewildered

"…Who're you?" Wakka asked.

"You…don't- wait where are we?" Sora asked

"Spira, brah you alright?" Wakka asked.

Sora looked around for a second looked Wakka in the eyes, stood up and sighed.

"…Fuck this is going to be a long week." Sora said softly.

To be continued.
