Crumbelina: Awesome!
Me: You know it.
Kenny: I guess time sure flies when you work fast.
Me: Right you are, Kenny. And now that I have the time to do it, you readers enjoy the final chapter of this story.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 36: The Final Battle
Atop the Castle That Never Was, Mason, Sora, Riku, Scarlet, Lightning, Kitana, Bayonetta, the young royals, the Core 4, the Sugar Rush racers, Ben, Jen, and the Justice League are face-to-face with the remaining members of Organization XIII.
"So, we meet once again, Xemnas." Mason said.
"It looks like the fate of the multiverse has come to one final encounter." Xemnas said.
"But it will not matter what the result will be. Once the ritual begins, we will be invincible." Saïx added. "I must thank you, though. You saved us the trouble of bringing the seven Princesses of Heart up here."
"Are you saying that you were expecting us?" Superman asked.
"That is correct. Now the ritual will begin." Zexion said as the Organization began to chant a spell. The princesses and the Medallions began to float into the air. An aura of separate colors each enveloped the princesses and was being transferred into the corresponding Medallion. Then, each of the Medallions shot a thin beam of colored light towards the heart-shaped the moon. Afterwards, there was a bright flash of light, which nearly blinded the heroes present. The worlds that were recently visited started to gain dark clouds that blocked the sun. After the light dies down, they see a giant white door floating in front of them and the Organization has vanished. They look on the floor to see the Medallions and the princesses lying on the floor.
"No. They've done it. They completed Kingdom Hearts. Our worlds will drown in darkness. We've lost." Green Arrow said mournfully. Everyone took off their hats and bowed their heads in disappointment. Mason, Sora, and Riku, however, did not.
"They haven't won yet." Mason said. This gained the others' attention.
"What are you saying?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Think about it. Although the Medallions give the wearer the power of their respective element, they were created using both the powers of light and darkness." Riku explained.
"How is that any different?" Ben asked.
"The Organization used the darkness within the Medallions to access Kingdom Hearts. If we use the pure light still contained inside, we can finish this once and for all." Sora explained as he summoned his Kingdom Key.
"I most certainly agree, Sora." A voice added from behind them. The others turned around to see two people. One is a mouse with black fur with round ears of the same color and a thin, long black tail wearing a short-sleeved jacket with white lining, the top half is black while the bottom half is red. There are two yellow straps dangling in front of the jacket. He also wore red pants, which has a zipper on the front of each leg, partially covered by a yellow pouch with a black strap. He has large, yellow shoes with grey backs and two orange, intersecting straps attached to the front of each shoe. The other is a man with vibrant green eyes and pale skin wearing a dark ninja uniform. Sora and Riku gasp in surprise.
"Your Majesty." Sora greeted with him and Riku giving the master's bow.
"Is he the king?" Mason asked Sofia.
"Mm-hmm." Sofia answered with a smile. The two approach him.
"I take it you are the new Keyblade Master. Ryu and I heard all about you and your heroism from Master Yen Sid." King Mickey said.
"Yes I am, Your Majesty." Mason replied as his Sleeping Lion materialized in his hand. Mickey gives him a smile as his Keyblade, the Kingdom Key D, materialized in his hand.
"Before we all go through this door, I have something to say. This battle will end the Organization's reign. Once we step through that door, there's no going back." King Mickey said as the four Keyblade Masters lined up in front of the large door. An orb of light formed on the tips of each of their Keyblades and they pointed them high into the air. Four beams of light shot out of the Keyblades as the large, white door slowly opened.
"Get ready, Xemnas. It all ends here!" Sora said as he and the others proceeded through the door. They see themselves inside the Realm of Darkness.
"So this is what's behind the Door to Darkness?" Rancis asked.
"Appearances can be deceiving, Rancis. Keep your eyes open for anything and stay alert." Riku answered. They look around the desolate realm until Flash spotted something.
"Look! Up there!" Flash reported. They look above to see Xemnas in his throne on top of a castle-like dragon. The rest of the Organization is beside him.
"How foolish of you to come here when you know you can't win." Xemnas said with a laugh.
"You don't scare us." Ralph defended.
(Battle Music: Soul Calibur IV – Reign of Doom)
"We shall see about that." Xemnas said as a building floated over them and tried to crush them. The heroes ran back to the door to avoid it. The princesses and Most of the heroes ended up behind the door as it closed, leaving the four Keyblade Masters, Axel, Sofia, Amber, James, Scarlet, Ryu, Bayonetta, the Core 4, Ben, Jen, and Superman, in the Realm of Darkness.
"We can take him on our own." Sora said as the four Keybladers unsheathed their Keyblades. The twins activated their respective Omnitrixes and transformed into Cannonbolt and XLR8. The three royals and the army members took out their weapons, ready to fight.
"Attack!" Xemnas shouted as a swarm of Creeper and Sorcerer Nobodies appeared and attacked.
"Go on ahead. We'll hold them off." Superman commanded. Mason, Sora, Riku, King Mickey, Ralph, Felix, Calhoun, Vanellope, Ben, Jen, Axel, Scarlet, Sofia, Amber, and James went ahead, leaving Superman, Ryu, and Bayonetta to hold them off. The group fights their way to the top of the castle to see Xemnas on his throne with the rest of the Organization.
"That's enough, Xemnas. Your rule has come to an end." Mason said as he pointed his Keyblade at the Organization's leader.
"It may be so, but you cannot stop what has already happened." Xemnas retorted as he stood up and hovered into the air.
"We'll see, you ungrateful Nobody." King Mickey countered as he summoned his Keyblade. The Organization all summon their respective weapons and pick off their opponents, engaging in a battle of the ages. It was Saïx vs Axel and Ben, Zexion vs Sofia, Xigbar vs Calhoun, Larxene vs Vanellope, Vexen vs Amber, Marluxia vs Sora and Riku, Xaldin vs James, Luxord vs Felix and Ralph, Demyx vs Mason, and Xemnas vs Jen, Scarlet, and King Mickey in an all-out war in the Realm of Darkness.
Saïx, Axel, and Ben (as Heatblast) are battling two against one. Saïx is blocking various attacks from Axel's Chakrams and Heatblast's fireballs.
"How can you turn on the Organization, Axel?" Saïx asked, parrying an attack from Axel.
"I followed my true instincts, something a Nobody wouldn't do." Axel retorted as he pushed him back. Axel threw his Chakrams at him with Heatblast firing two fireballs to supercharge the attack. Saïx used his claymore sword to deflect them.
"I have had enough of your treachery. We will see to it that you shall pay for your betrayal." Saïx warned before escaping as Ben reverted back into human form.
Zexion and Sofia are countering one another's spells. Zexion sent pages of his lexicon at her, but Sofia repelled it with a Reflega spell. She counters with a Thundaga, but Zexion created a wall of pages to block it.
"You may be the Scarlet Warrior's apprentice, but even someone like you cannot match my power." Zexion taunted.
"Says someone who was betrayed by one of his own. Thunder!" Sofia countered as she cast another Thundaga. Zexion tries to repel it with a wall of pages, but Sofia sees this and throws her spear at the lexicon. The attack hits, immobilizing Zexion's defense. The spell goes through. He falls to the ground and starts to fade away.
"Impossible. I have been defeated. You were right, Lexaeus. This was one battle that should be left alone." Zexion said before fading back into darkness.
Sora and Riku are continuously blocking Marluxia's scythe attacks. Sora fires a Blizzaga to immobilize him, but Marluxia dodges it. Riku jumps to the air and swings his Keyblade at him, but Marluxia counters with a swing from his scythe. Riku is knocked towards the ground.
"Riku!" Sora shouted. Riku struggled to get up, but fell back his knees. Sora roared in anger and delivered a barrage of slashes at Marluxia. He couldn't keep up with the attacks, so he blocked the attacks until his scythe is knocked out of his hands and towards Riku. He sees the scythe and picks it up.
"Sora! Catch!" Riku called out as he threw the scythe to his best friend. Sora catches the scythe and begins to deliver a double blade barrage of attacks on the defenseless Marluxia. After the last attack is dealt, Marluxia falls to the ground and begins to fade away with cherry blossom petals flowing in the wind.
"You… You can never win. We will triumph one day." Marluxia warned before fading back into darkness.
Vexen and Amber are bashing their shields against one another. Amber was holding her own until Vexen fired a beam of ice from his shield. Amber nearly dodged the attack and threw her Dream Shield at him and it hits him. Amber catches her shield.
"You're good." Vexen said.
"You expected something else, Nobody?" Amber retorted as she dealt one final blow, knocking him on his back. Vexen struggles to get up, but he sees himself fading away.
"I may have lost, but you will rue the day our paths crossed." Vexen warned before fading back into darkness.
Larxene is continuously throwing her knives at Vanellope, who kept evading them by either glitching out of the way or by deflecting them with her long sword. After two more of her knives were deflected, Larxene is beginning to get angry.
"Stop moving around!" Larxene shouted. Vanellope responded by sticking her tongue at her. Larxene growled angrily. "Now you've done it!" She threw all of her knives at her, but Vanellope glitched behind her. She looks behind her and before she could react, Vanellope dealt a powerful slash through her. She staggers for a bit before beginning to fade.
"How can this be…? I've been beaten by a child? Impossible…" Larxene said before fading back into darkness.
James was barely keeping up with Xaldin's lance attacks. He sent four of his lances at him, but James narrowly dodged it. He begins to swirl his lances, causing James to defend himself. He sees an opening and dodges the lance.
"For a young prince, you sure know how to use a sword." Xaldin said.
"I'm just warming up." James retorted. He threw his sword like a javelin, which Xaldin narrowly dodged.
"You look like you trained so much. We will continue this battle another day." Xaldin said before disappearing.
Xigbar and Sgt. Calhoun are endlessly shooting one another with their blasters. Xigbar is floating high in the air while Calhoun is sprinting around the realm. Calhoun is starting to get tired from running and unexpectedly trips on her own heel.
"I will enjoy killing you, dynamite gal." Xigbar said as he aimed his arrow gun at Calhoun's head. He was unexpectedly blasted back by his target. She had a hidden blaster in her back pocket.
"No one calls me by that name but my husband." Calhoun warned before putting away her blaster.
"I guess I underestimated you." Xigbar said before leaving the Realm of Darkness.
Demyx is playing his sitar, causing pillars of water to rise. Mason is shooting numerous Firaga spells to nullify Demyx's attacks. He swings his Keyblade back and forth, but Demyx blocks the attack with his sitar.
"How could you have joined the Organization? You couldn't last ten seconds on the battlefield without fleeing." Mason said as he parried an attack.
"They say appearances can deceive you. Just because I look like I can't fight doesn't mean I shouldn't." Demyx retorted. Mason pushes him away. "It looks like we'll deal with you later." He then escaped the Realm of Darkness.
King Mickey was knocked aside by Xemnas, leaving him and Jen standing face-to-face.
"Who do you think you are to face me, Jen Tennyson?" Xemnas asked.
"Nobody special." She said. Then, she closed her eyes as her skin deepened to a brilliant hot pink. Her outfit turned into her Anodite outfit, but rune-like tattoos scrawled their way upon her legs and arms. Her hair ignited into pink flames and large flaming wings burst out of her back as she flew up to Xemnas. "Just the Master Anodite."
"Come on!" Xemnas said as he summoned his ethereal blades.
"Let's get MEGA Chaotic!" MA Jen shouted as she and Xemnas flew their way towards each other, delivering powerful blows with Jen's massive mana sword. "Bring it on, you Sephiroth wannabe!"
Scarlet then jumped her way towards her and delivered a massive energy blast, charging her up.
"Thanks for the power boost, old friend." Jen thanked. Scarlet gave her a thankful nod as she healed King Mickey's wounds. She used her mana sword to deal critical damage to Xemnas. He falls to the ground and somehow survives. The others surround him.
"Xaldin, Luxord, Saïx, Demyx, Xigbar. You're all alone, Xemnas." Mason said as he pointed his Keyblade at his neck.
"You may have defeated us, but the multiverse is close to being completely covered in darkness. We shall meet again." Xemnas said as he opened a portal under him and escaped.
"We'll see." Sora retorted.
Outside the Door to Darkness, the remaining heroes, along with the Princesses of Heart are awaiting their friends' arrival. Some of them are beginning to worry.
"I sure hope Sora and the others are okay." Snow White said in a state of worry.
"Do not worry. If there's anyone to trust when it comes to fighting Heartless, it's Sora." Kairi reassured. Then, the Door slowly opened to reveal the others have survived the onslaught.
"Well?" Green Lantern asked.
"We got rid of a few of his lackeys, but Xemnas and the rest escaped." Riku reported.
"How are we going to restore the multiverse?" Jasmine asked.
"Leave that to us." Mason said. He placed the Medallions in a circle around himself, Sora, Riku, and King Mickey. The Medallions began to float into the air and formed a large Keyhole on the Door. The four Keyblade Masters all pointed their Keyblades at the Door and a thin beam of light shot out of each of them. The four beams hit the Keyhole and a bright light shone, clearing all of the worlds of darkness. Everyone began to cheer for their victory, but it was short lived as the Medallions began to give as strange glow. There was a blinding light. Then, when the light faded, seven warriors in separately colored armor stood in front of them.
"Thank you brave heroes for saving the multiverse from an eternal darkness. We are known as the Elemental Guardians." The Guardian of Fire introduced.
"I knew the legend was real." Axel pointed out.
"Because of your courageous efforts, the multiverse is now safe." The Guardian of Ice said.
"Now, you must return to your respectful universes." The Guardian of Light said as she opened numerous portals around them, leading back to where they came from. The heroes checked their portal before entering. Sora turned to Mason before he walked through his friends' portal.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Sora asked. Mason looked at the Guardians and back at Sora.
"Ever since Sofia and I met, I was struck with amnesia. So until my memories return, I'll accept your invitation." Mason answered as he walked through the last portal with Sora. The Guardians stared back at the locked Door to Darkness.
"The battle may be over, but the war has just started." The Guardian of Water said with worry.
*I am in my room listening to Olly Murs. Kenny and Sofia come in.*
Kenny: What you listening to?
Me: Olly Murs.
Sofia: Is something on your mind?
Me: It's been there all day. My family's about to move to a new house this month.
Kenny: Are you serious?
Me: No joke, but nothing to worry about. I'll still have you guys around.
Kenny: That's a relief.
Sofia: I'll say.
Me: It's a good thing I managed to pack what I could back home.
Kenny: I always like it when you think ahead.
Me: Same here. Guess I better get home and pack everything else. You readers review and I hope you enjoyed this story. Peace out!
