Chapter 68: Black Xeti War
(Bygone Fortress: Ruined Gates)
Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas continue to go through outside of the city to help Ry and the others fight against the Black Xeti army and arrive at what looks like a ruined gate but while making their way through the ruined gate Dark Knight Black Xetis appear in their way.
"Piss off!" Ky yelled as he slashes with Dawn of Hope at a Dark Knight Black Xeti.
"Move it!" Sora yelled as he slashes with Kingdom Key at another Dark Knight Black Xeti.
"If we idle here, Ry and the others won't stand a chance." Noel said.
"They're still fighting as hard as they can!" Tails said.
"Then we just need to hurry and provide help!" Donald said.
"In that case, let's hurry, and make it happen!" Kiyo said and everyone nods and keep going.
Meanwhile at a cliff part of the outside of the city Nex, Vergil, and the robot make their way through the cliff's trail to find what Nex is trying to discover.
"From the sound of this, there seems to be a battle going on." Nex said.
"Affirmative. Outside in the canyon vicinity, there is a vast army of Black Xetis, and a group is fighting against them." The robot said.
"Who you're looking for just might be among the battle." Vergil said.
"Let's see." Nex said as he, Vergil, and the robot start moving again.
Nex, Vergil, and the robot make their way through the cliff's trail but many Phantom Black Xetis appear and attack but Nex slashes with Death's Embrace followed by unleashing a shadow hand while Vergil slashes with Yamato while the robot fires missiles from its hands to destroy the Black Xetis and the trio continue on through the cliff trail to make their way for the canyon to find the battle.
"Are we getting close?" Nex asked.
"Naturally. We must first proceed through a deserted trail." The robot said.
"So be it." Nex said as he keeps going.
Meanwhile Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas keep going through the ruined gates area to hurry to find their friends who are still fighting the Black Xeti army but as they keep going a dark portal appears in front of them and it's a hooded Brotherhood member.
"Ugh…! I can't believe the Leader has sent me, of all people, to bring an end to this fighting, just so the Black Xetis can win. Whatever. All I need to do is to put those in the battle into a deep sleep, and then the Black Xetis will do the rest, then everything will end." The hooded Bortherhood member said and it's the tired and grouchy member.
"Hey! Brotherhood asshole!" Ken yelled.
"Now what?" The tired and gloomy Brotherhood member asked as he turns to the group. "Oh, it's you losers again. Just what I need. Could my lack of naptime get ANY worse?" The tired and grouchy Brotherhood member then takes off his hood showing his face that looks like a young teenage looking male with a brown buzzcut, red eyes, appears indifferent, and has a black star on his neck.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Donald demanded.
"That's none of your business." The grouchy and tired Brotherhood member said.
"Laz!" A voice called and another dark portal appears showing another hooded Brotherhood member.
"What now, Jeal? I'm busy." The tired and grouchy Brotherhood member named Laz said.
"Get your lazy body into gear, and get your sleeping spell to work! We need those idiots fighting the Black Xetis dead. Their deaths will make us stronger, along with the Black Xetis!" The cold and deep Brotherhood member known as Jeal said.
"What?! You're gonna kill Ry and everyone else?!" Ky asked.
"No! I don't want that happening!" Noel said.
"You fools will be doing no such thing. Laz, take care these idiots first, and then complete your mission." Jeal said as he disappears in darkness.
"Whatever. Why do I have to deal with these people?" Laz said.
"So, we get to take on a Brotherhood member, and take on the Black Xeti army? That sounds like a bonus to me." T.J. said.
"Don't underestimate him. He may appear lazy and apathetic, but he can be a threat. He's not a member of Brotherhood of Disharmony for nothing." Bentley said.
"That's right. The Brotherhood's made of powerful Haviks." Goofy said.
"Right! They're all from pure chaos!" Sora said.
"Not to underestimate me? How pathetic. I hate doing everything, and I like sleep and doing nothing all day, but let me just say that I can end you with my eyes closed. I always complain, as I despise work, and always get my minions or other members to do the fighting for me, but since this is my mission, I guess this will be my exception." Laz said.
"Hmph! No matter what you do, you'll still be punished for your crimes! We'll be happily to do it!" Elena said.
"No one's dying here!" Shadow said.
"What do you intend to do to me? As a powerful Havik, we are immortals. We are nothing like those worthless Nobodies and nothing like the Organization. No matter what attacks you do, no matter how often you fight against me, I won't die. Allow me to provide you proof." Laz said as he lifts his right long sleeve revealing his right arm and it's tied to what appears to be a black iron ball with a grey chain. "I'll grant you worthless dogs eternal sleep. There will be no one to save you, and you won't be saving anyone anymore." Laz said as spikes appear on his black iron ball known as Apathy.
(Boss Theme: Pain of the Disharmony)
"Time for a nice sleep!" Laz said as he casts a spell on the group.
"What did you do?!" Sly asked.
"I have cast a sleeping spell on you. You have two minutes before my spell seeps into you, and when your time is up, you will fall into a black sleep, which you will never awaken from." Laz said.
"TWO minutes?!" Sora asked shocked.
"You BASTARD!" Ken shouted.
"You can't be serious." Lucas said.
"Oh, and to add something else that will make things interesting." Laz casts another spell on the group.
"Enough!" Ky yelled as he charges at Laz but his movement is slow. "What?" Ky asked.
"You are all now under my slow spell. Your movements will now hinder you from doing what you normally do. Now, I have my advantage. Say goodnight…forever." Laz said as he sends his spiked iron ball at the group.
The group try to dodge the charging spiked iron ball but because they are too slow to react and move and the spiked iron ball strikes at the group causing major damage on them but Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, and Donald try to cast Cure but because they're still slow Laz uses his spiked iron ball to strike multiple times and them delivers a heavy swing sending the group back.
"This is damn ridiculous! If we don't get our normal movement back, and beat him before our two minutes are up, then it's lights out permanently!" Ky said.
"What can we do?" Noel asked.
"You can't escape from my power. Don't worry. You should be honored that you will die at the hands of a Brotherhood member." Laz said.
"Screw you!" Ky yelled.
"Undo the spell!" Murray yelled.
"No. This your final moment." Laz said as he attempts to strike.
As Laz attacks the group Laz feels a bite on his leg and it's from Grace.
"Grace!" Noel said.
"You little flea-ridden rodent!" Laz yelled as he kicks Grace off.
"You! Don't hurt him!" Noel yelled as she charges at Laz and strikes with Radiant Salvation sending Laz back.
"What?! You're moving normally now! How? You were slow!" Laz said.
"Looks like attacking you does work!" Sora said.
"Good work, Grace!" Max said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"Absurd! You still have your sleep time limit! Your luck will run out!" Laz said.
"Try us!" Ky said.
Laz sends his spiked iron ball to strike at the group who dodge and Ky enters his Valor form and slashes with Dawn of Hope and Brave Star followed by a multi slash kick with Brave Star and then slams Dawn of Hope and Brave Star to the ground sending Laz back but Laz retaliates with swinging his spiked iron ball to strike at Ky but Noel enters her Wisdom form and casts her strong Thunder and then casts her strong Earth while Sora enters his Limit form and uses Sonic Blade but Laz strikes back with slamming his spiked iron ball on the ground at the group but Donald casts Fire while Elena shoots magic concussive blasts while Ken unleashes magic music fists and sends them to strike but Laz spin swings his spiked iron ball around to try and get the group who dodge but Laz uses Apathy to strike with two swings and then delivers a slamming strike with his iron ball but Max uses Cyclone while Goofy uses Tornado but Laz strikes back with an upper strike from his spiked iron ball but Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Growl but Laz spin strikes with his spiked iron ball and then delivers a big swing with his iron ball but Lucky uses Ground Pound while Lucas uses PK Freeze but Laz charges his spiked iron ball at the group and then delivers a slamming strike but Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows but Laz double swings his iron ball and then delivers a spinning strike with his iron ball but Zuko slashes with his broadswords while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but Laz vertical strikes with his iron ball followed by a diagonal strike but T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley shoots darts while Murray uses Turbo Charge but Laz sends his spiked iron ball to deliver a lunging strike at the group.
(Reaction Command: Count Steal)
Ky dodges the lunging iron ball attack and then sends the iron ball back at Laz sending him back and then brings the iron ball in the air and sends it slamming at Laz restoring some of the group's sleep time limit.
"So, you managed to get back what time you lost. Clever, Prince of Light, but not clever enough." Laz said.
"Just as long as we have enough time to kick your ass!" Ky said.
"You can try." Laz said.
Laz casts his slow spell again on the group and are back to being slow and Laz sends his spiked iron ball to strike multiple times followed by sending his iron ball into the air bringing him with it and then the spiked iron ball comes crashing to the group who are still slow and despite trying to move Laz slams his spiked iron ball to the ground causing a quake and unleashing spiked pillars from the iron ball damaging the group but before Laz could strike back Sly comes behind Laz and then delivers an upper strike with his cane sending Laz into the air and then grabs Laz with his cane and slams Laz to the ground removing the slow spell allowing Shadow to multi punch with Chaos infused power followed by a spin kick but Laz multi spin strikes with his spiked iron ball to strike at the group who dodge and T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Lucas uses PK Fire but Laz slams his iron ball to the ground and unleashes spiked pillars from the ground at the group who dodge and Goofy uses Shield Torpedo while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga but Laz triple swings his iron ball at the group followed by delivering a huge horizontal swing with his iron ball but Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs while Max uses Shield Boomerang but Laz throws his iron ball into the air taking him with the iron ball and then the iron ball comes crashing down at the group dodge but spiked pillars appear but Bentley throws bombs while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster but Laz charges his iron ball at the group followed by slamming his iron ball but Donald casts Blizzard while Ken unleashes magic music waves followed by casting Thunder but Laz delivers an upper strike with his iron ball to get the group but Elena unleashes magical blades and sends them while Grace uses Tackle but Laz swings his iron ball at the group and then spin strikes with his iron ball but Lucky uses Egg Throw while Murray uses Flame Punch but Laz slams his iron ball on the ground and unleashes spiked pillars but Storm uses Skullbash while Blaze delivers flame kicks but Laz charges his spiked iron ball to deliver a lunge strike but Sora dodges the lunging strike and sends the ball back at Laz and then sends it into the air and it slams at Laz restoring more of the time in the sleep time limit while Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Water while Ky double diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash sending Laz back.
"This is getting tedious. This needs to end now." Laz said as he takes off his Brotherhood cloak showing his bare upper body and black pants. "I guess I have no choice." Laz said.
"What's he doing?" Sora asked.
"It's been too many years, since last I have used this form." Laz said as he cloaks himself in darkness and the darkness covers him completely.
"This can't be good." Tails said.
"No it will not be." Zuko said.
The darkness soon disappears and it later reveals what appears to be a giant seven headed dark grey demonic snail.
"Is that…Laz?!" Blaze asked.
"This can't be…" Noel said.
"Bru dila relu!" ("Welcome to Hell!") The demonic snail version of Laz said.
"Guess we have to settle this quicker before we end up sleeping forever." Ky said.
Demonic Snail Laz uses his spiked shell to charge at the group who dodge out of the way and Lucky uses Egg Roll while Goofy uses Goofy Bash but Demonic Snail Laz spin strikes with his spiked shell followed by slamming it to the ground unleashing spiked pillars but the group dodge and T.J. uses Knife Throw while Zuko unleashes three jets of flames but Demonic Snail Laz sends its spiked iron ball at the group and delivers a spinning strike followed by rolling around the area with his spiked shell but the group dodge and Storm calls down lightning while Tails uses Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but Demonic Snail Laz vertical strikes with his spiked iron ball and then spin strikes with his spiked shell but Murray uses Tornado Punch while Max uses Shield Charge but Demonic Snail Laz spin attacks with his spiked iron ball followed by charging with his spiked shell all over the area but the group dodge and Donald casts Earth while Lucas uses PK Flash but Demonic Snail Laz slams his spiked shell on the ground and unleashes spiked pillars all over but Grace uses Bite while Bentley shoots electric darts but Demonic Snail Laz sends his spiked iron ball at the group and swings the iron ball around followed by a huge swing but Blaze shoots fireballs while Sly uses Cane Spin but Demonic Snail Laz rolls around the area with his spiked shell but Shadow teleport punches while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga but Demonic Snail Laz attacks with his iron ball multiple times followed by a spinning strike with his iron ball but Ken shoots magic music notes while Elena levitates her staff and unleashes a magic pillar but Demonic Snail Laz attacks at the group with his spiked shell but Ky aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an upper slash and a wide slash while Noel casts Aero and then flip slashes with Radiant Salvation while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Fire but Demonic Snail Laz charges at the group with his spiked shell.

Demonic Snail Laz attempts to strike at the group with his spiked shell.
"No. Ken!" Noel said.
"Damn straight!" Ken said as he plays his magic guitar.
Ken plays his magic guitar unleashing magic music waves while Noel helps with casting Thunder and then Ken plays his guitar to unleash magic music pillars and Ken keeps playing his guitar until he unleashes ten giant magic music waves to strike.

After enough strikes Demonic Snail Laz lets out a pained roar and darkness covers it again until later on it reveals Laz's normal form.
"Impressive. No one has ever survived against my monstrous Havik form like that. Still, you are reaching your demise! Your time will not save you!" Laz said as he casts another slow spell.
"Not again!" Zatch said.
"Damn you!" Ky yelled.
"This is the end. I've wasted enough time on you. The sooner I kill you and everyone else, the sooner I will get back to my nap!" Laz said.
"Trust me, you'll get more than your nap!" Elena said.
"How interesting. You fear so little, yet you stand no chance." Laz said.

"Damn it. Why is it so difficult to kill three annoying children and a band of circus punks? You keep fighting, no matter what I do to you." Laz said as he puts his Brotherhood cloak back on.
"That's because we won't quit!" Sora yelled.
"You still haven't defeated me or ended my life, just as you have with that lazy dimwit Demyx. Like I said, us Brotherhood members are immortal, and no matter how often you fight. No matter how many attacks you bring, we cannot be destroyed. You're wasting your energy trying to defeat us and foil our plans." Laz said.
"We'll keep trying until we find our way to defeat you!" Ky said.
"Pathetic. Try all you want. This battle is over. You haven't won. Now I'm bored and tired. I'm going back to sleep." Laz said as he disappears in darkness.

"Ky, we'll deal with him later. Right now, we need to focus on helping our friends." Noel said.

"I just hope they're doing okay." Sora said.
"One way to find out! Hurry!" Kiyo said as the group keep going.
Meanwhile Ry is knocked back by Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Eggman, Porky, Masked Man, and the Deadly Six.
"Dammit! I'm not stopping this!" Ry said.
"You're still wanting to fight? How persistent can you get?" Iggy asked.
"Just give up already. That's what I'd do." Zor said.
"You're wasting your energy trying to beat US! Time to DIE!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Think again!" A voice said.
"Huh?" Eggman asked.
Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario arrive at the area and confront the villains.
"Hold it right there!" Sonic said.
"What?! Fulgur?! Rabbit boy?! PRINCESS?! MARIO?!" Bowser Jr. asked shocked.
"SONIC!" Eggman shouted.
"So the blue rodent has arrived." Zavok said.
"You guys still haven't learned your lesson, have you? You lost your masters, Horned King and Nightmare, still you're causing trouble." Fulgur said.
"Stay out of this! This is OUR show! This is our REVENGE!" Bowser Jr. shouted.
"This is what we've *cough* *cough* been wanting this whole time!" Porky said.
"That's enough! We won't let you win this battle!" Peach said as she summons Royal Storm.

"Guys! Let's go!" Fulgur said as he summons Sky's Volt while Sonic summons Super Sonic while Oswald takes out his sword, shield, and staff while Mario prepares to fight.
"Hmph! I've always wanted to finally destroy that meddlesome blue rat!" Eggman said.

(Bygone Fortress: Temple Ruins)
Ky, Noel, and Sora arrive at a ruined temple and they see their friends and they're all tired from all the fighting they're enduring.
"Man, this is getting really intense. These Black Xetis mean business." Sora said.
"But we can't just take a rest now! The moment we stop for one second, and we're done for!" Kiyo said.
"He's right! We have to end this fight NOW!" Ky said.
"Then, let's get going. Any second we dillydally, the Black Xetis will win, and that's the last thing we want." Sly said and everyone nods.
"I hope Fulgur and the rest are okay." Donald said.
"They'll be fine. We'll meet up with them soon." Elena said.
Ky then sees an exit of the ruined temple.
"Let's move." Ky said and everyone nods.
The group start to move through the ruined temple but while moving Ky finds something and picks it up.
(Obtained: Galactic Charm: Ky and Noel)
The group continue through the ruined temple and they later leave and arrive at a different area.
(Bygone Fortress: Massive Canyon)
The group arrive at the giant deserted canyon and they see the massive army of Dark Knight Black Xetis.
"There they are!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Huh? What's that noise?" Goofy asked.
"What?" Max asked.
"Up there!" Lucas said pointing up.
The group look up to see Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario fighting against something and it's the band of villains.
"There they are, and they're fighting the enemies!" Sora said.
"C'mon!" Ky said.
"Pikachu!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said pointing at something.
"Now what?" Elena asked.
The group look up to see a different upper part of the canyon and they see three figures and one is a boy while the other is a young man while the third is a robot.
"What's going on? Wait…" Ky looks at the boy who looks back at Ky and he takes a closer look and a flashback of a thirteen-year-old Nex occurs and then the present returns. "No…it's… It can't be…" Ky said.
"Ky, what's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Do you know them?" Zuko asked.
"It's…Nex!" Ky said.
"Nex?! Here?!" Zatch asked shocked.
"Nex…?" Noel asked looking at the boy. "It does look like him, just like from Silver Town and the Black Xetis' world." Noel said and looks at the young man. "That's…Vergil from the Fearmongers?" Noel asked.
On the upper part of the canyon Nex looks down at the group and looks at Ky.
"So, the brat's here too." Nex said.
"If that's not enough, the Key girl is here too." Vergil said.
"Identity confirmed. Ky, also known as Virtus, Prince of Light. Among this group are two more Keyblade wielders." The robot said.
"That pink haired trash I encountered before is a Keyblade wielder, but who the hell is the third one?" Nex asked as he sees Sora. "He looks similar to Ky, they both appear moronic." Nex said.
"Ky, that's Nex, right? The guy you were trying to find?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. That's him. He looks different now. The crimson streak on his hair, and his eyes give off a menacing glare. Is this really Nex? It's been a whole year since him, since that time, when we…fought." Ky said remembering his fight with Nex at the abandoned village and Nex entering his shadow imp form. "I gotta see him!" Ky said as he starts to move.
"Ky, wait!" Bentley said.
The Dark Knight Black Xetis then surround the group.
"Get the hell outta my way! I have a friend to see!" Ky yelled.
"The only way to get past is to defeat them." Tails said.
"Yeah!" Sora said.
"Okay…" Noel said.
Everyone nods at each other and they charge at the Dark Knight Black Xetis and Ky, Noel, and Sora charge at the Dark Knight Black Xetis.

Ky, Noel, and Sora keep fighting against the Dark Knight Black Xetis and keep destroying them but the Black Xetis fight back but the three Keybearers keep fighting against the Black Xetis and keep destroying every last one of them and later on all of the Black Xetis are destroyed and no more Black Xetis remain and the three leave the canyon.
Ky makes his way out of the canyon while fighting off Black Xetis and he sees Nex leaving.
"Nex!" Ky called but Nex is leaving. "Damn! I gotta go after him!" Ky said.
Meanwhile Noel and Sora make their way for Fulgur and the others and the rest of the group join the two.
"Where's Ky?" Sora asked.
"I thought he was with you." Shadow said.
"Oh, no…" Noel said.
"We'd better find him." Goofy said.
"After we help them first." Sora said.
"Okay." Elena said.
Meanwhile Ky sees Nex, Vergil, and the robot going through the canyon and so Ky goes after the three while still fighting off against the Black Xetis in his way and he sees Nex attempting to get away but Ky keeps going after Nex until later on Ky gets closely behind Nex.
"Nex!" Ky called and Nex stops moving. "I can't believe it's been THIS long , since last I've seen you! I've missed you!" Ky said running to Nex who delivers a kick at Ky's stomach knocking him back.
"I've never missed YOU!" Nex said.
"Nex…? Why? Why do you still hate me? Why do you still shut yourself from everyone?" Ky asked.
"I thought that fight we had might've given you a hint, but clearly, your weak-minded head still doesn't realize this. You and I were never friends! Beings of light and darkness never mix, you idiot!" Nex said.
"I don't care what you are! I always still viewed you as an older brother, just like Pax! I promised I'd never give up finding you!" Ky said.
"Well, now you've found me. Goodbye." Nex said.
"I'll never give up on seeing you, Nex! I won't stop until I bring you back to my side!" Ky said.
"Your side? You mean the side of weaklings, and those circus freaks you call friends?" Nex said.
"They're not weak! They've been helping me trying to find you!" Ky said.
"Just how pathetic can you get? Pathetic might be the wrong word. You really are…stupid." Nex said shocking Ky.
"Nex, please, come back to me. I really want you by me again." Ky said.
"If you're so obsessed with me again, then why don't I put an end to that pathetic obsession? Vergil, Omega, back off. This won't take long." Nex said.
"Fine." Vergil said.
"Affirmative." The robot known as Omega said.
"Not another fight…" Ky said.
"Oh, yes another fight. It's time I put an end to this delusion once and for all." Nex said as he summons Death's Embrace.
"Fine… You leave no choice. I'll make you open your eyes!" Ky said as he summons Dawn of Hope.
"Good. Let's go already." Nex said as he charges at Ky and prepares to attack with his Keyblade.
