*Sofia, Vanellope, and I are talking to Yuma about what happened with Shark*

Yuma: You mean to tell me that Shark bailed when you asked him what made him into who he was?!

Me: That's about it.

Yuma: Did you ask him what happened to his sister?

Sofia: We tried, but he left before we got the chance.

Vanellope: Talk about troubled with a capital "T".

Me: Got that right.

Yuma: Maybe he can tell me what happened. If there's one person who knows about what happened, it's Shark.

Me: We'll come with you. And while we help Yuma figure out what made Shark act this way, you readers enjoy this chapter.

The 7 Medallions

Chapter 11: Battle in the Blizzard

In Castle Oblivion's briefing room, Zexion is viewing Saïx and Marluxia's progress in Lyoko. He sees them facing the heroes alongside a Cy-Bug infected Turbo. Xemnas enters the briefing room.

"Good afternoon, Master Xemnas." Zexion said as he bowed in respect to his superior.

"Zexion. Any reports on their progress?" Xemnas asked.

"Affirmative. Saïx and Marluxia have located the Medallion as well as that Keyblade wielder and his friends." Zexion reported.

"Perfect. Once that Medallion is ours, we will complete Kingdom Hearts." Xemnas said with determination. Then, they hear an alarm go off.

"Another Medallion has been located, Master." Zexion reported.

"Where did it land?" Xemnas asked.

"According to these coordinates, it landed somewhere in a town called Bellwood." Zexion replied.

"Excellent. When Saïx and Marluxia return, I will send you and Xigbar to retrieve it." Xemnas said.

"Yes, Master Xemnas." Zexion replied.

We find the heroes standing face-to-face against Saïx, Marluxia, and Turbo. Saïx and Marluxia interrupted the battle between the heroes and Turbo. They were sent to retrieve the Medallion before the heroes found it. After a long silence, Ulrich broke it.

"Who are these guys?" Ulrich asked.

"Saïx and Marluxia. Two members of an evil group called Organization XIII." Sora answered.

"That's correct. We were sent by our Master to get that Medallion." Saïx said as he used his claymore to create a shockwave that blew back some of the heroes. Then, all of a sudden, they feel a rough wind blow from the south along with falling snow. Odd was the first to notice.

"A blizzard? In Lyoko?!" Odd asked with confusion. Saïx only chuckled with confidence.

"Consider this blizzard the perfect weather for our icy battlefield." Saïx said. Ulrich was about to charge at him until he was stopped by a voice from his headset.

"What's going on in there? Why is there a blizzard going on?" a voice asked.

"Now's not the time, Jeremy. We have a situation on our hands." Ulrich answered.

"Who's that on your headset?" Sofia asked.

"Jeremy Belpois, one of our friends. While we're in here, he's our eyes and ears." Ulrich answered.

"What's going on in there?" Jeremy asked.

"Some guys in black came and demanded us to hand over some type of Medallion." Odd answered.

"And they're after ours, too." Sora added.

"Who was it that said that?" Jeremy asked in confusion.

"Just some friends we helped fighting those Krabs." Aelita answered.

"They're here for that Medallion too." Yumi added.

"Enough talk! It's time to fight!" Marluxia interrupted as he swung his scythe and created an energy wave, which was deflected by Aelita and Amber.

(Battle Music: Final Fantasy X - Assault)

Mason, Ulrich and Scarlet charge at Saïx with each of their swords, but Saïx block their attacks with his claymore. Turbo charges at the racers, flying into the air, but Odd, Aelita, Sofia, and Calhoun attempt to shoot him down. Ralph, Felix, Yumi, and Sora are fighting off Marluxia, who keeps dodging each of their attacks. Yumi throws her fans at Marluxia, but he blocks them with his scythe. Ralph sees this and punches him from behind, making Marluxia drop his scythe. Yumi notices it on the icy ground.

"Sora, his scythe!" Yumi called out. Sora slides over to the scythe, using the ice for speed, and grabs it.

"Got it!" Sora reported as he slowed to a stop, Keyblade and scythe in hand.

"What are you doing?!" Marluxia asked in fear.

"Beating you with your own weapon." Sora replied as he repeatedly struck the now defenseless Marluxia with the two blades. Sora began to slash back and forth with his Keyblade and Marluxia's scythe. Marluxia then falls to the ground in pain.

"Marluxia!" Saïx called out. He was about to run to Marluxia's aid until Ulrich stopped him.

"Going somewhere?" Ulrich asked, pointing one of his swords at him. Saïx was about to panic when he sees a full moon. He smiles in confidence.

"You shouldn't be around me during a full moon." Saïx said. He began to charge up power. Ulrich backs away in fear as Saïx releases all of his energy into his claymore, which changed shape, but kept its color. Saïx's eyes became completely yellow and his blue hair became even messier.

"What just happened down there?" Jeremy asked.

"I think someone is about to go wild with power." Ulrich replied. Saïx began to swing his claymore like a madman. The heroes narrowly evade the attacks. Sofia suddenly slipped and fell. Saïx was about to eliminate her until he was hit by a cherry bomb from out of nowhere. Sofia turns to see Vanellope and the Sugar Rush racers with weapons of their own. Vanellope has a long-sword, Taffyta a pair of tomahawks, Rancis a Bo-staff, Gloyd a pair of sawed-off shotguns, Crumbelina a crossbow, Jubileena a bandolier of cherry bombs, Adorabeezle a pair of Kama scythes, Minty a spear, Snowanna a pair of Chakrams, Swizzle a morning star mace, and Candlehead a pair of Nunchaku. Jubileena was the one who threw the cherry bomb.

"I didn't know you had those." James said, surprised.

"You're not the only ones with weapons." Rancis replied.

"How dare you attack me?!" Saïx shouted in anger. He then started swinging his claymore again, but they were prepared for this. Vanellope, Minty, and Rancis block the attack. Saïx begins to charge more power, but Gloyd, Crumbelina, and Jubileena use their projectile weapons to blast him out of the sky. Saïx reverts to normal as he falls to the ground. Ulrich and Vanellope approach the downed Saïx.

"Any last words?" Ulrich asked threateningly as he and Vanellope point their swords at Saïx. He only grins with confidence.

"It would not matter if you defeat all of us. Even if you did, you'd be too late to stop us." Saïx replied as he created a massive fog using the falling snow as cover. The heroes are suddenly blinded.

"What the hell is happening?" Mason asked as he and the others regrouped. When the blizzard and fog die down, they find that Saïx, Marluxia, and Turbo have vanished.

"They're gone!" Odd reported.

"It looks like he created a fog to make an escape." Sora deduced.

"No kidding. Wait, where's Aelita?" Yumi asked.

"She was with us a minute ago." Candlehead replied. Suddenly, they hear a voice not too far away.

"HELP!"

"What was that?" Taffyta asked, startled.

"Up there!" Amber reported, pointing to the tower where Saïx and Marluxia appeared. Everyone turns to see Saïx with his now normal claymore, Turbo, who reverted back into his normal form, and Marluxia with his scythe in his right hand, carrying Aelita over his left shoulder.

"Let her go, Marluxia!" Sora demanded with rage. Saïx hears his headset ring and he answers it.

"Saïx, send Turbo to Castle Oblivion. You and Marluxia are needed. Another Medallion has been located in a town called Bellwood. Go there at once." Xemnas reported.

"Understood, Master. Before we proceed, I have some news. Marluxia and I have taken one of their friends." Saïx replied.

"Excellent. Take her with you." Xemnas ordered as he hung up. Saïx opens a pair of corridors of darkness, one leading to Castle Oblivion, the other leading to the town of Bellwood.

"Turbo, Master Xemnas is requesting your presence in Castle Oblivion." Marluxia said. Turbo nods in acceptance as he proceeds through the first dark corridor, which closes afterwards.

"Farewell, Keyblade master." Saïx said as he and Marluxia traveled through the portal with Aelita in tow.

"NO!" Ulrich cried out as the dark portal closes, leaving the heroes all alone.

To Be Continued…

*Yuma, Sofia, and Vanellope, and I are currently looking around the studio for Shark. We come in the training room and see Odd and Ulrich sparring against each other.*

Odd: Hey there. You looking for someone?

Me: Yeah. We're looking for Shark. Have you seen him lately?

Ulrich: I think I saw him heading towards his room. He should still be there if you hurry.

Yuma: Thanks, Ulrich.

Ulrich: No problem.

*We run to Shark's room and see Shark staring out the window.*

Yuma: Let me talk to him alone. He clearly has more of a grudge on me than any of you guys.

Vanellope: Sure, Yuma. *Yuma enters Shark's room and closes the door*

Sofia: I hope it goes well.

Me: Me too, Sofia. Me too. You readers please review. To those who have an OC for my second story, but don't have the time to submit him or her to me, I am extending the contest date. The contest now ends March 10. Peace!
