"Today's the day!" Sora shouted from the top of his lungs. "Come on Jesse wake up." I slowly got up and start blinking my eyes while streching.
"Okay, okay I'm up." I said with an exhausted tone.
After we ate breakfast Sora ran outside in a puff of smoke.
He sure is fast when he wants to be.
No, it's just Disney logic. He can never reach that kind of speed when in a fight.
Doesn't change the fact that he's fast for his age.
Very true Ray.
After my internal chat with Ray I followed Sora to the beach where he was challenging Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka.
"C'mon Sora your no match for Riku and Jesse is the same level you are." Said Tidus loud enough to know that I can hear him.
"You sure about that Tidus!" I yelled out.
"Sure am! I bet you can't even take me out!" Tidus gloated while taking a prideful pose.
"Okay then I challenge you, Wakka, Selphie, and Riku. What do you say to that?" I replied with slight grin.
"No fair! I was gonna challenge them first!" Sora cried.
"Don't worry this won't take long and you get to see how I fight for the first time since I got to this island." After I finished my sentence Sora was jumping up and down with excitement. "Oh yeah! That's right! But hold up I have to get Riku and Kairi."
After a few minutes I saw Riku, Kairi, and Sora running towards me. All with big smiles on there faces.
"So you are finally going to fight, huh? So what happened did you get tired of everyone calling you weak?" Riku taunted.
Okay now you guys asked for it! Now I'm pissed!
" Yeah I am so how about we quit the chatter and get on with it!" I said with a forced smile and a very noticeable vein sticking out. "Just know that I'm not holding anything back now!"
Before the fighting began Sora ran inside his house and grabbed two wooden swords that were skillful crafted before coming back out. "Hey Jesse don't forget your weapons!" Sora yelled out before tossing me the swords.
"Hey theses are the swords that I made. How did you get them Sora?" I asked with a surprise tone.
"Oh, let's just say that your secret hideout is no longer a secret to me at least." He said with a big smile plastered on his face. "And I have my ways."
I didn't know your a dual wielder?
Not really. I'm still trying to get the hang of it and what better way to do that then using it in a fight against four skilled enemies.
Everyone started to get into there fighting stances and they did the same stances from the video game, but I would be a fool to think that this is anything like the game.
Riku took his usual stance with his sword in his right hand and his left hand sticking out so he could taunt. Tidus just had his red pole in his right hand while he kept his body low. Wakka was tossing a ball up and down waiting for every else to finish. Selphie was spinning her rope while she looked at Sora and Kairi waiting for them to give the signal to fight.
Sora and Kairi then looked at each other and gave a nod. They both eased there hand above there head and yelled out "FIGHT!" While bringing there hands down.
I stood still carrying me two swords in each hands. Since I couldn't practice my dual wield technique I didn't have a guaranteed stance.
Riku and co. rush towards me with every intention of beating me and showing me that I bit off more than I can chew. Instead they were wrong.
Tidus tried to hit with a two handed over head slash, but I moved to the right and hit him in back of his head with the flat side of my sword causing an instant K.O. Every saw this and needless to say they were surprised how they lost a member so quickly.
Everyone shook there fear and continued there attack. Wakka was throwing his ball over and over again. Selphie was tiring to whipping her jump rope repeatedly and Riku was tiring to cut me down.
Even the look of his eyes changed.
After a while I got bored of playing defense so I started to move on the offensive. When Wakka threw his ball I jumped and kick the ball right back at him. The ball moved to fast for and hit him directly in the face which caused another instant K.O.
For Selphie I let go of one of my swords and caught her rope. I then spun the rope around her and inter lap with its self. She was unable to battle so it counted as my win.
And then there was Riku. When he saw his teammates fall in an instant he became a little, scared?
"Hey Riku are you ok?" I asked him with a hint of worry in my voice.
"Y-yeah, just a bit surprised that your this strong. How did you get so strong? You hardly fight at all!" Riku said with curiosity.
Hey Ray. Do you think it's because of my trial?
Good guess, but no. You've actually been this strong for a while and the weapon you have doesn't really improve your strength as much. Even so you don't have said weapon out.
So this is how strong I am without the 'keyblade'.
Yes.
Wow that's awesome.
"I don't really know. It must be all the practice I've been doing in my own hideout." I told Riku hoping that he would believe my somewhat half truth.
Yeah that's not why.
Oh shut up! It was all I could think of at the moment. Besides how do you explain this power when you never fought your friends before.
Wait this is your first time fighting them?!
Yes.
Then I don't know how you have this strength. Even when I started I had to train for a long while to be at this level.
Really? So I somehow jumped to this level without doing anything?
Yup! Good job you bastard.
"Okay I believe you, but I know your holding back! Fight me with everything you got!" Riki shouted before rushing towards me with a over head strike.
I block the strike by moving the blade to my back area upside down. I then swing my blade forward throwing Riku off of me and charged at him ready to strike.
I tried to hit him with a vertical slash but he dodged by jumping up. While he was in the air he did a front flip and swung his sword downward with the added force that he gained.
Instead of moving out the way I grabbed his weapon with my free hand and it started to crack with light shining through it. Riki's weapon then exploded and pushed everyone back except me. I was just sanding in the center with a shocked expression on my face wondering what in the hell happened.
"Woah! What was that!?" yelled Sora.
"I don't know, but it almost killed me!" Shouted Riku.
"Yeah! What was that Jesse?" Asked Kairi.
"I have no idea? I just caught the sword and it exploded." I replied.
Then everything started to glitch like it was a messed up video game. Sora, Kairi, Riku, and everyone else stop in place.
"What's going on Ray?" I asked positive that he heard me.
Oh no.
"That's not a good response." I said as I gulped.
Then Heartless started piping up, but they where different. They had some kind of shadow armor along with a shadow blade. Then another figure appeared looking like me with, but like it seemed different in way.
"Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here?" I yelled at the Voider. But no response or sound was heard for I don't know how long.
"It doesn't matter who I am or what I'm doing. What does matter is you being prepared." The Voider spoke in a dark echoing voice.
The Voider's response confused me.
Why did it matter if I was prepared? What is this thing planning on doing? All theses thoughts were going through my head.
"What do you mean? I want to know what you voiders are planning!" I responed with anger in my voice, but I didn't notice the faint dark smoke coming from my body.
"You should calm down unless you want to fail the challenges." The Voider said in a very calm manner.
"Why should I?! And what are these challenges your talking about?" My anger was reaching its peak and more dark smoke was getting coming from. I still didn't notice the smoke, but I did notice the power building up inside me.
"My my, I didn't think you would embrace the darkness. But then again why wouldn't you. I bet you don't even realize that your useing the darkness." This time the Voider's voice sounded like it was playing around and trying to lighten the mood.
"What are you up to?" I said after calming down a bit. Then the dark smoke slowly started to fade away."And what do you mean about challenges?"
"Ah, I see Ray hasn't told you yet. Well guess it doesn't matter right now, but it doesn't hurt to get you informed." He said while shaking his head. "These challenges are to determine who the next God of Time will be. There two things that must be done to claim the title. Number one: The 'champion' must complete certain trials that will pop in your head. Every trial is different so don't get upset or scared."
"Yeah, like I'll get scared to complete trials" I interrupted. This earned me a disapproving look from the Voider and Ray.
"As I was saying every trial is different. Number two and this is a hard one: you must defeat five other 'champions' and take there symbol. You don't need to worry about this challenge just yet though. To access it you must awaken the God symbol that you possess. Until then this challenge is impossible. One more thing me and Ray are your supervisor. It's our job to make sure you don't die."With that the Voider disappeared and so did all shadows. Then everything started to glitch again, but this time everyone started moving.
"Jesse can yo— Hey, are you ok?" Sora asked.
I then shook my head and looked at everyone realizing that they can move again. "Oh, it's nothing Sora. Just daydreaming a bit." I replied.
I have to be careful for now on. Don't I Ray?
Yes.
Then I guess it's time to do some training. Besides the day is getting closer. I can't afford to not be prepared.
