Chapter 15: Twilight Town (Revisit).
Just seven worlds (including this one) to go. I've reached 1,000 views! Thanks you for reviewing and helping me improve!
With Lea now in the gang the trip to Twilight Town was a real pain in the rear. Earlier Lea had admitted that he hadn't really defeated any Heartless so they had to go back.
When the gang reached Twilight Town they saw that it was covered in darkness. When Terra saw what had become of Twilight Town he proceeded to pummel Lea. "You idiot! Do you see where your laziness has gotten us? Twilight Town is nearly gone!" When Terra finished beating poor Lea he raced towards the world with a determined look on his face, he was soon followed by the others.
When the gang landed in Twilight Town they saw piles of bodies around them with so many heartless. Having ten Keyblade wielders on their side was just too brilliant. All ten Keybladers pointed a total of twelve Keyblades (Aqua and Roxas have two) into the air and shouted in unison. "LIGHT!" The light that left the Keyblades was so bright, it was blinding and in fact Lea had to put on some cool shades to protect his eyes while the others squeezed their eyes shut tightly.
Lea, being the only one who could actually see smiled as nearly all of the heartless disappeared. When the light dispersed the gang opened their eyes. "How the hell did that happen?" Sora asked shocked by his own actions.
Terra thought for a moment before answering. "Sometimes a Keyblade acts like a person, but most of the time it is docile and doesn't do things like that. The Keyblades need rest after such ordeals so we cannot summon them, however, it shouldn't take too long."
The gang looked at the deceased corpses around them; nobody they knew was there, so it must have been the townsfolk who died while the shop-owners used their resources to save as many people as they could after all the body count was only 16, so that in itself was a record for a heartless invasion of such magnitude. Of course there was one small problem: there were still some Heartless and Unversed left.
~Half an hour later~
After a half hour the Keyblades returned to their respective owners who smiled at the sight. "Well, at least their back." Sora commented giving his Keyblade a quick swipe, accidently hitting Xion on the nose. "Oh, sorry."
"S'alright." Xion replied in a muffled voice due to the position of her hand on her bleeding nose which Roxas immediately healed. When Xion moved her hand away from her nose she announced. "So, there are ten heartless left and ten of us, I suggest we take one each! This world is still in danger of disappearing as the Keyhole hasn't been locked. So, we have Powered armour in the Sandlot, Roxas will take that. A Darkside in Station Plaza, Lea will take that. A Stealth Sneak in the Underground Passage which Mark shall take. A Guard Armour outside the Mansion, Phillipa will take that, I'll the Ruler of the Sky here. Ventus will take the Mad Treant in the forest. Aqua, you take the Cursed Carriage at Sunset Plaza. Terra, you take the Eliminator inside the Mansion. Sora you take the Behemouth on Sunset Hill and Riku, you take Metamorphosis in the Station."
Everyone grinned at the now confident Xion. Sora slung an arm around her shoulder and said. "You're finally becoming confident eh? Keep it up." Xion smiled brightly at the compliment and vowed that she would indeed 'keep it up' as Sora had put it. Sora looked at the still frozen gang before clapping his hands and shouted. "You heard the lady, get moving."
'What lady?' Lea thought to himself amusedly before heading off to the Station Plaza.
After everybody had left Xion called forth the last remnants of Tinker Bell's Pixie Dust and flew up into the air towards The Ruler of the Sky.
When Xion reached optimum position she summoned her Keyblade and got ready for what Roxas had described as one of the hardest fight ever.
Xion vs. The Ruler of the Sky (TRotS)
Before Xion could start fighting the flying Heartless it shot off towards the sea.
When Xion and TRotS reached the sea TRotS started flying around and summoned pillars of ice to form from the sea. Whenever Xion reached TRotS tail she attacked. However whenever she finished one off TRotS would dive into the sea, hover in front of her and sent a rain of unblockable coins at the black headed girl. The coins may have been unblock able, but they weren't undodgeable because whenever TRotS shot coins at Xion she would simply fly towards the mouth which was actually a treasure chest and flew to the left to stop it catching up with her.
However, when TRotS was low on health it started firing non-stop and only by blocking its attacks did Xion gain the opportunity to attack its main weak point. When she was slowly losing health Xion activated her Last Legs move. "I won't give in!" Xion before proceeding to beat the tar out of TRotS which didn't stand a chance and died a few seconds after Xion started releasing columns of light at the monster.
End fight.
Suddenly Xion noticed at bright light from the clock tower and raced towards it..
~Earlier with Roxas~
Roxas walked towards the Sandlot with a smiole on his face, Xion was finally coming into her own, no longer would she be in Sora's shadow, no longer his memories of Kairi, she would finally be her own person.
When Roxas reached the Sandlot he found himself face-to-face with an old enemy. "Let's do this." Roxas said to himself grinning like a madman.
Roxas vs. Powered Armour (PA)
The first thing Roxas did was try and attack the head of the PA, only to remember that its head wouldn't be vulnerable until it crashed into the ground, so Roxas changed his target to the PA's legs which were just as hard to deal with as he remembered, but with two Keyblades it was much easier, so Roxas easily relieved the PA of the burden of having feet..
However PA wouldn't take this standing still so it punched Roxas four times with its fist before rising into the air and crashing down on him however this had the negative affect of causing its head to become vulnerable. Roxas cast a quick cure on himself before attacking the PA's vulnerable head. When the PA was down to half of its health it rose into the air and fired balls of plasma at Roxas who dodged out of the way. "So, you wanna play tough huh?" Roxas asked rhetorically before rushing at the unsuspecting PA and slashed straight through the PA ending its life in a matter of moments.
End fight.
In the distance Roxas saw the tell-tale signs of a Keyhole appearing before rushing towards it.
~Earlier with Sora~
Sora was proud of Xion for she had finally blossomed into a beautiful taking-charge butterfly from the small caterpillar the spiky haired boy originally knew.
After catching a train with Aqua to Sunset Station Sora headed towards the hill. At the top was a giant of a Heatless, it was a Behemoth, literally, in size and name. So Sora summoned his Guardian Bell Keyblade and got into a fighting stance.
Sora vs. Behemoth. (BHM)
Sora ran around the BHM and jumped on its back before proceeding to its horn and attacked it. BHM was furious, how dare this little insect stop its hunt? BHM reared back and shot columns of lightning at the insect, however, since said insect was on its back the Laws of Physics seemed to have finally reached Kingdom Hearts causing the BHM to get electrocuted thoroughly depleting its health.
Meanwhile Sora, after being struck by lightning sent a Graviga at the BHM's horn shouting. "Force!" The Graviga caused the BHM to lose half of its remaining health, leaving it with just over 100HP. Sora however didn't account for the giant ball BHM shot into the air causing dark fire's to brutalise his person. Sora nearly got knocked out by the Dark Fire's but was saved due to his abilities.
So Sora cast a Curaga on himself and finished off BHM by slashing through its horn causing the horn to splinter and break apart causing the BHM to disappear into three balls of darkness.
End fight.
Looking at Station Plaza, which was very noticeable from where Sora was, Sora saw a Keyhole form, so Sora kicked off into the air and flew towards the source of the light. The Laws of Physics having left shortly before.
~Earlier with Riku~
Riku too was proud of Xion as he walked into the Station; she was becoming her own person, unlike the girl he remembered from a couple of years ago. "Good going Xion." Riku mumbled to himself.
However thoughts of pride soon left his mind as Riku noticed the monster before him. "What is this heartless?" Riku yelled out. That was then when Riku noticed the sigil on the 'Heartless's' head, it was like a Dream Eaters, only more spiky and more angular. "Is this one of those Unversed Terra told me about?"
However, Riku didn't get time to ponder this as the Unversed charged towards him. "Flying eh? Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out." Riku mumbled to himself summoning his Keyblade and throwing it into the air causing a Keyblade Glider, the Glider had the same shape as the vehicle he used to defeat Xemnas's flying Dragon thing, before mounting it and chased after the Metamorphosis.
Riku (Glider) vs. Metamorphosis (MTMPS)
Riku chased MTMPS as it flew into the skies over Twilight Town. Riku flew straight towards MTMPS and started kicking with the back of his Glider. However MTMPS started spinning wildly causing Riku to take massive damage.
Riku threw a Potion into the air almost completely healing him and started attacking again. However, this time when MTMPS started spinning Riku instinctively brought up a barrier to block most of its attacks before retaliating with a local area shadow which caused MTMPS to plummet to the ground. With no Laws of Physics, to worry about, since these laws only seemed to affect enemies, Riku dismissed his glider and fell to the ground also.
When Riku reached the ground he concentrated and threw a Dark Firaga at the MTMPS destroying it instantly.
End fight.
Looking at the source of light in the distance Riku determined that it must be the Town's Keyhole and rushed towards it.
~Earlier with Terra~
Terra followed Ventus and Phillipa towards the mansion reflecting on Xion. The teen sure had some spunk in her; she made a plan that spread everyone's talents to their respective targets. Terra had no idea what an 'Eliminator' was, but if he had to take it on, it must be very strong.
When Terra reached the mansion he searched it looking for the Heartless. It wasn't until he reached the room which Sora had regained his memories in did he spot a Heartless teleporting around the area.
Terra vs. Eliminator (ELNTR)
Terra rushed towards the ELNTR and tried to attack only for his End of the Earth Keyblade to bounce back, the recoil from it left him unawares of a fast approaching blue ball which hit him in the leg stopping Terra's Jump ability. Terra quickly used a panacea on himself to negate the effects.
Terra ran behind the ELNTR and attacked it relentlessly until it lost a lot of health. Whenever the ELNTR tried to teleport to another location Terra simply Slid to it and continued his attack. The ELNTR released a giant Firaga from its shields' mouth which hit an unsuspecting Terra in the back causing him high amount of damage which was quickly resolved by a Hi-potion.
When the ELNTR went to smash Terra, Terra blocked the attack and used Counter Hammer to finish it off.
End fight.
When Terra stepped outside he saw a bright light in the distance and ran towards it.
~Earlier with Ventus~
When Ventus vacated from the planning area he pondered about Xion, he may not know a lot about the black haired teen, but he could tell she was different from what she used to be because, when he had first met her she was shy, now she was planning a full scale attack on various enemies.
Next to Ventus Phillipa appeared and said. "You alright Ven, you don't seem as cheerful as you used to be."
Ventus smiled wryly at the girl and spoke sombrely. "Yeah, it's just all of this, when I fell into slumber I truly believed my enemy, Vanitas, was dead, but by the quantity of Unversed we're facing, I'm starting to believe that he may have returned. I fell asleep at the end of one war, and I wake up in the middle of another with the same guy! It's really disturbing."
Phillipa listened to Ventus' rant. She could easily understand that it would be difficult, but she could never understand what it was like for Ven. "Yeah, that is disturbing. Well, this is your stop, see ya Ven."
"See ya Phillipa." Ven replied. In his head he thought. 'I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.' Before shaking out of his thoughts and concentrated on the Unversed in front of him.
Ventus vs. Mad Treant. (MT)
Ventus locked onto the MT before releasing fifteen great balls of fire at it. After the initial barrage he curled up in a ball where he found himself surrounded by fire and sent even more flames at the MT.
The MT suddenly, with little health, turned black and sent poison puddles everywhere.
When the MT stopped its tantrum Ven sent three Fira's at it killing it.
(This is how I defeat the MT in KH BBS)
End Fight.
When MT disappeared Ventus looked through the trees and saw a bright light appear before rushing off towards it.
~Earlier with Aqua~
Aqua smiled to herself as she headed towards Sunset Plaza; she was happy for Xion, the girl sure had advanced greatly from the small nervous girl she had met in The Realm of Darkness, at the rate Xion was going Aqua may very well name Xion a Keyblade Master, she definitely had the basic characteristics.
After a nice quiet train ride with Sora to Sunset Hill Aqua made her way towards the Plaza where she summoned both of her Keyblades and prepared to fight the Cursed Carriage.
Aqua vs. Cursed Carriage (CC)
Aqua rushed forwards and started attacking the CC with both of her Keyblades before said enemy rose into the air and started spewing forth explosive pumpkins. When it landed it used a strong wind that pulled Aqua inside it.
Aqua did what she did last time and attacked the inside of the CC causing it to spit her out, being disoriented in mid-air allowed Aqua to regain her bearings and retaliate by surrounding herself in a Barrier and flying towards the CC.
As a last ditch attempt the CC started spinning around the area bumping off of nearby buildings until Aqua stopped its shenanigans with a Barrier and a Flip which allowed her to finish off the defenceless CC. "That's it for you stinky!" Aqua yelled as the Unversed disappeared back into Vanitas.
End Fight.
To her right Aqua saw a flashing light coming from the main part of Town which she rushed back towards.
~Earlier with Mark~
Mark thought about what Xion had just done: she had just organised nine other people and herself to deal with a major Heartless issue, not only that, but she had done so that everyone's different skills went to their individual targets.
When Mark reached the underground tunnels he didn't see a tongue coming his way until it was right in front of him.
Mark looked at the ground and saw that even though it was invisible the Stealth Sneak still made a shadow.
Mark vs. Stealth Sneak (SS)
Mark rushed at the place above the shadow and delivered a downwards attack which hit the SS on the head, on the exact place that kept it invisible.
With the SS now visible Mark was able to time its attacks before they happened and allowed him to dodge them. Partially changing his Keyblade, Mark made the Keyblade sacrifice its blade in place of the machine gun, which he mounted on the ground and opened fire at the SS which died to too many bullets to the 'heart'.
End fight.
When Mark wandered outside he saw a bright light at the Clock Tower and ran to it.
~Earlier with Phillipa~
Phillipa was walking towards the Forest, where the Mansion lay just through it, she was the only one not thinking about Xion, in fact she was more worried about Ven's bad mood, so she approached him and asked his what was wrong (You've read this bit already).
When Terra went into the mansion the Guard Armour fell from the sky and started the fight.
Phillipa vs. Guard Armour (GA)
The GA stomped forwards and attempted to attack Phillipa, only to discover she wasn't there, the GA tried to use what little brain power it had to figure out why. The answer soon became painfully obvious.
~A few seconds ago~
Phillipa saw that the Guard Armour was about to hit her so she activated Speed Attack and used it to deprive the GA of its hand, legs and most of its health.
When the Command ended the GA started spinning around occasionally hitting Phillipa, this lead to her using a Cure before jumping high into the air, gathering energy from the surrounding area and slamming into the GA from above.
The impact was enough the finish off the GA which stiffened before catching fire and disappearing into Darkness.
End fight.
In the distance Phillipa saw a bright light appear and ran towards it.
~Earlier with Lea~
'What lady?' Lea thought to himself as he walked towards Station Plaza with Riku, Sora and Aqua. Lea was quite proud of Xion, what he remembered of her from the Organisation days Xion did have a sense of humour, and was a leader every now and then, she wasn't to the calibre she was now. To borrow a phrase from Xigbar, he was proud of the little Poppet.
When Lea reached the Station Plaza he waved goodbye to the other who also waved goodbye.
Out of large shadow in the ground emerged a fist, closely followed a head and finally a body. Lea looked up at the Darkside and smirked. 'this will be easy.' And summoned his fiery Keyblade in one hand and Chakram in the other and got into his battle stance which was leaning forward threatening ly with both weapons held out to both sides, his Keyblade spinning around every now and then and holding onto his Chakram loosely.
Lea vs. Darkside (DS)
The DS raised its dark fist and slammed it into the ground causing a shockwave which Lea easily jumped over. When Lea reached the DS's fist he started attacking with Keyblade and Chakram. He used his Keyblade to attack the Darkside and made his Chakram orbit him stopping any Heartless reaching him.
Suddenly the DS reared back in pain and started gathering dark energy in its chest. Lea's face paled dramatically before he ran as fast as his legs could carry him to behind the Darkside, just in time as well as the Darkside started releasing many piercing balls of darkness.
When the DS next punched the ground Lea ran up its arm and used both weapons at once charged with fire and completely obliterated the DS.
End fight.
Above Lea a Keyhole appeared, around him the others all arrived and pointed their Keyblades at the Keyhole. The Keyblades sent a total of twelve beams of light which completely locked the Keyhole.
"That was fun." Phillipa commented grinning at the others who smiled and laughed.
"Come on guys, let's get out of here." Mark said to the others who nodded, clambered onto their Gliders and headed off to the next world.
~In MX's evil lair~
MX was yet again furious, his giant Heartless and Unversed army were defeated by ten Keybladers. He yet again headed to his bedroom and performed surgery on himself.
End Chapter.
Current Party: Sora, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Mark and Phillipa.
