Chapter CLXXI: Searching For Harmony, Onwards To Atlantica! Final Part II
Staying put and hidden where they were, Jona and Uriax continued their observations of the intense battle that was taking place before them. It was a tough struggle, that was clear from the previous strikes they'd seen Nozomi had tried to do against the huge three horned heartless.
However even though it was enormous, it was terribly elusive due to the power that was contained within it's three horns which, "ah! Looks like the cycles gonna begin again honey!"
Uriax having being silent for the most part of this battle, acknowledged her statement with a simple reply, "indeed..." though it was clear he was far from enjoying this fight.

"HHHAAA!"
Nozomi shouted out loudly as she raced into the air, her keyblade was at the ready as she went to strike the heartless as it came flying in straight towards her! However the monster was ready for her too as it quickly went in to strike her with a blast of lightning from it's yellow horn! The thunderous attack headed straight towards her!
ZAPP!
Acting quickly though, Nozomi instantly retaliated as she brought out her keyblade and cried out her own attack, "Thundaga!"
BLAST!
With that instantly the two thunderous attacks clashed and a huge charged explosion echoed everywhere! The combustive force sent a shock wave which sent Nozomi hurtling backwards! "AGGGHHH!"
Seeing her pathetic show from above, while still holding the Trident tightly in her right hand, Morgana then jeered to the girl, "nice try sweetheart!"
Nozomi hearing this became angered as she turned in the air and got herself back together again, however before she could retort back. Morgana had raised the powerful golden weapon into the air and immediately an electrical charge came forth from it and instantly the Narwhale heartless reacted to this as it's roar echoed out loudly everywhere!
Hearing this the female keyblader cried out mad as she quickly ran forwards in the air, "oh no you don't! Not-"
However these words came too late for instantly, the beast acted first! For quickly racing past the frantic keyblader it dived straight into the water!
SPLASH!
Seeing this happen immediately Nozomi cried out, "no!" With that she quickly went to chase after the enormous beast! Instantly though in the depths of the water, the Narwhale heartless turned itself around and then aiming it's white horn quickly an icy spell blasted forth from it!
At the sight of it coming, the female keyblader drew back as she cried out, "agh!" Then just before she could touch the water's surface, instantly the whole level of it in a blink of white light became thick and icy with snow as the sea froze!
Looking at this as it happened again, Nozomi landed quickly as she raced upon the icy surface agitated as she cried out, "darn it! Where is it?!" Running to another spot she looked around herself hurriedly as she said mad, "where's it got to!?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Watching on themselves as they saw her struggle, Melody was really worried for her friend as she had hidden herself along with Cait sith amongst some distant glaciers. Looking at her as she raced around the entire field of ice she whispered, "oh no Nozomi!"
Cait sith watching the female keyblader knew she was at a complete disadvantage! For he knew there was no way she could chase after the elusive and enormous beast on her own! Plus with the sea that surrounded her, she couldn't dive in after it when it was frozen like that... the small cat didn't want to admit it, but this looked like a really dire situation for Nozomi.
However before he could think about something that might be able to help her, suddenly he noticed something! Quickly he acted as he cried out from his bubble, "lass below ya! Move yer behind!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hearing this shout, Nozomi was distracted for a moment as she asked, "what?" But then as it registered in her mind, about what had been shouted out to her she turned and looked down! There she saw quickly forming under her was a huge dark shadow!
Quickly her battle reflexes kicked in as she cried out, "oh whoa! Whoa!" With that she backtracked and ran as quickly as she could as the ice started to shatter and crack. From it, dust clouds of snow were sent flying everywhere!
Then getting to a safe distance she turned back and quickly she saw emerging from a huge hole in the ice, that it was the Narwhale heartless with it's huge horns reaching into the air! However it quickly saw that it had missed it's prey and instantly it turned to her, letting out a huge roar revealing it's huge white razor sharp teeth!
Seeing it do this, Nozomi was startled. However she quickly reacted as she cried out loudly, "now I've got you! You dumb heartless!"
With that she unleashed her spell! "Firaga!" Instantly the powerful spell flew forth and struck the monster square in the face! Immediately it howled in pain from the attack! Then following her initiative, Nozomi launched herself forwards as she unleashed a flurry of kicks, strikes and magical blasts from her keyblade!
The monster was obviously becoming more and more irritated with each blow as it came forth! Quickly it went to pull itself out of the ice with a burst of it's power! Immediately it raced into the air, using the darkness to keep itself afloat!
Seeing it go, Nozomi cried out mad, "oh you're not doing this to me again!" With that she cried out aiming with her keyblade, "Swift Star Rays!" With that quickly the comets of light escaped from her blade and struck the monster in moments!
This blast angered the beast tremendously as it turned itself around and gazed down at it's helpless prey! Nozomi though was ready as she cried out grasping the keyblade tightly with both hands, "you're not gonna get away from me this time! And I'm not gonna let you repeat this dumb-"
ZAPP!
Suddenly from above, Morgana acted again as she struck the Narwhale heartless with an electrical charge from the Trident! Finishing her move, she looked down to the surprised keyblader as she told her coldly, "chit chat is over sweetie!"
With that instantly the Narwhale heartless acted again as it aimed and quickly unleashed another blast from it's blue horn! As this touched the ice and snow Nozomi was standing upon, it instantly turned into nothing but sea water again!
Unprepared though for this, Nozomi fell into the waters as she cried out, "AGGHH!" With that she started to splash everywhere in a panic!
Still being forced into a kneeling position above, still within the protective bubble he'd been placed in Riku saw what was happening to the female keyblader. Seeing her struggle like this he cried out, "Nozomi!"
Morgana enjoying her struggles, watched as the heartless acted as it initiated it's next attack! Immediately the creature roared loudly again and then instantly, all three of the monster's horns glowed together terribly with an ominous power!
Nozomi back below had managed in her struggles to get herself over to a piece of floating ice, climbing up onto it she clung it tightly despite the slipperiness. Coughing a little she spluttered, "man! That was awful! Just what's Morgana-"
Then before she could finish her sentence, suddenly she and her piece of ice were lifted into the air! Shocked by this, Nozomi cried out, "hey!? What the!? What's-"
Immediately as she cried this, all around her quickly more blocks of ice were lifted out of the sea too! Then she saw quickly that she was in a huge hurricane as swarms of ice chunks and wood debris rushed around her everywhere!
It was total chaos wherever she looked! But quickly she knew she had to do something! So jumping off the piece of ice she'd been resting on, she rushed forwards as her wings carried her! Doing her best, she made sure not to be struck by any sudden and unexpected missiles! Quickly approaching the Narwhale heartless, she thought of a course of action she should take. Then immediately it came to her! Taking a stance she gripped her keyblade tightly and quickly she moved it with her right hand as she started to cry out, "Luminous-"
Suddenly though there was a shuddering in the air! Then immediately the speed of the hurricane increased tenfold and as it did, the ultra strong winds blinded Nozomi making her unable to finish her technique! Then quickly her wings were losing strength due to the force of the wind! She couldn't hold herself up and as she felt her power beginning to fade she cried out loudly, "oh no!" As she said this, immediately her power faded altogether, "NOOO!" With that she was pulled helplessly into the hurricane and she couldn't do anything as chunks of ice and wood struck into her body, making her cry out in pain!
Morgana seeing what was happening laughed manically at the sight of the helpless keyblader being pulled about and struck by the terrible sharp missiles that flew in the ferocious hurricane! She cried out "now this what I call really stirring it up!" Then grasping the Trident she added loudly, "now it's time to add some spice!"
With that a thunderous power escaped the golden treasure and it's terrible energy raced throughout the entire hurricane, then instantly all these bolts of thunder gathered together and formed one bolt! Still struggling badly, Nozomi had no chance against all these terrible forces that struck her left and right! Surely this couldn't get any worse for her! But then-
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!"
Suddenly she was struck by a huge bolt of lightning! It's horrible agonising power spread throughout her! The pain was terrible and it singed, it felt like her nerves were on fire! It seemed to last forever and then finally it ended... as it did, the wind too fell away as her body dropped through the air!
Seeing what had happened to her, everyone who was captive in the air were horrified as Riku and Mickey cried out together, "NOZOMI!"
The female keyblader, then collided painfully upon another large flat chunk of ice and as she did, the terrible paralysing effects of the thunderbolt spread throughout her entire body. She couldn't feel anything but pain as she rolled over and looked at the terrible heartless with frustrated pained eyes... this was terrible! She couldn't do anything! But she had to do though otherwise-
Morgana seeing that her foe was now so utterly defenceless against her and her monster, she decided to inform her with a sinister smile on her face, "looks like it's time to give you the coup de grace sweetheart!" With that she raised the Trident and with that she went to give her monstrosity the go ahead to destroy!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Seeing the state that Nozomi was in, it was obvious that this was really bad news! Cait sith cried out, "lass!"
Melody then cried out too in distress, "Nozomi!"
The small black and white cat knew instant action was needed! So quickly he turned to the white pyjama wearing girl and told her, "Melody lass! Ya hold the fort here!" Then turning back to the horrific scene that was about to be played out, he added, "I'm gonna dive right in there!"
Hearing this though, the young girl was stunned as she tried to ask, "but Cait sith!? What-"
But it was too late as the small cat took off to enter the fray of the battle as he removed himself from his protective bubble! Seeing him go, quickly Melody cried out in worry, "Cait sith!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Still struggling badly, trying to move. Nozomi couldn't do anything! The paralysis effects of the thunderbolt still kept her deadly still and all she could do was stare on with pained eyes at the monster Narwhale as it's three horns ignited with terrible power.
Feeling fear and regret as she looked up to the pillars that still held the captive forms of her friends, she quickly clenched her eyes shut as she felt the terrible aura of power that was about to fall down upon her!
But suddenly before that terrible painful blast came, "not so fast!" Instantly in the blink of an eye, Cait sith came forth and blocked the terrible three pronged powerful onslaught with a shield of yellow light!
Opening her eyes in astonishment as she heard this cry and felt that same protective power, she saw her ever as loyal feline companion! However before she could make a move to say something, Cait sith turned around and told her, "all right lass! Let's get ya up and movin' again!"
With that the small black and white cat snapped his fingers and instantly a recovery spell covered all over Nozomi's body ins sparkle of yellow light and quickly the terrible paralysing effects were removed. Finally having the ability to speak again she was able to say something, "whoa! Thanks Cait sith! You really came in the nick of-"
However quickly the small cat landed on her shoulder as he told her, "this ain't no time for thanks lass! C'mon get goin' and take off!"
Hearing his words quickly the female keyblader didn't have to ask why, for instantly the Narwhale heartless tried again to strike them both with another burst of terrible power! Acting immediately Nozomi took off as her wings emerged from upon her feet. Quickly her power let them climb into the air and out of harm's reach! The monster seeing that it's prey had escaped from it again, filled it with rage as it took off and immediately went to catch up to her and that irritating feline!
In the air and seeing the terrible heartless on their tail, Nozomi looked back with agitation and as she did she said, "darn it! That thing just won't let up!"
"Well that's darn well obvious! Now ya better keep ya concentration levels on high while ya make with the evadin'! We need ta think of somethin ta take down that beastie! Now let's brainstorm somthin' big lass!" The small cat told her as he patted her shoulder, urging her to hurry forwards!
At these words Nozomi was glad to have him with her and also she was glad that now hopefully something could be done with a plan! So nodding positively she replied simply with determination, "will do!" With that she went to do just that!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Seeing that Cait sith had now joined in the fray too, Jona smiled once again as she commented, "ha! It's just like that kitty! He always comes in the nick of time!... Almost like a knight in shining armour huh?"
Uriax didn't answer this, instead he carried on watching the battle quietly. He could see clearly, that even with Cait sith helping her as she evaded, cast magic and tried to strike her keyblade into the fearsome heartless... she was struggling. After making some more observations as he saw the two of them continue to battle, he spoke his thoughts,"at this rate the two of them won't stand a chance."
Hearing him say this, Jona replied casually with a smile still ever as present, "yep, I'd say that's about accurate there honey!" Then she was quiet as she paused and said, "since they can't chase after that thing through the water... there's no way they'll ever be able to make a real impact on it!"
Thinking for once she'd accurately got something right, Uriax though had to point out one simple fact as he turned his head to look at her, "unless we give them a way?"
Jona hearing this comment was about to something, but she stopped as she turned to see Uriax looking at her, she stared back on quietly confused by this comment. But then she heard the dark apprentice ask her, "I'd like to know something...just how are you able to maintain an aquatic body...?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh lass there!" Hearing Cait sith's cry, immediately Nozomi ran through the air and as she moved, she narrowly missed a lethal bolt of thunder that came flying her way!
As she turned in the wind, she looked down and saw the bolt make a charring line in the ice down below! If she'd got struck by that it would have been total agony again! She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "whoa! That was too close!"
But quickly behind her again, she heard the bellow of the monster and she knew again she had to be on guard! So turning quickly she saw that the heartless had unleashed another ray of power, an ice beam!
Seeing it coming, the female keyblader quickly acted as she turned around and pointed her keyblade crying out, "Firaga!" With that the powerful fire spell erupted forth and struck into the ice spell cancelling it out in moments!
Annoyed with irritation at not being able to inflict anymore damage than she had before, she moved in the air and as she did she asked, "tch! Cait sith have you thought of anything yet!?"
Hearing her ask this question the small cat told her holding onto her right arm tightly, "there have been a couple of thing's lass I've thought of, but-!" Then suddenly he noticed something, "lass to ya left! To ya left!"
Instantly at his warning, Nozomi moved as she avoided another lightning blast! Though this one she saw with more irritation came from Morgana! The evil sea witch, seeing the look on the keyblader's face was amused as she laughed and said, "ha! This is more fun than zapping jellyfish!" With that she unleashed another bolt to try and strike her target down!
However quickly acting again, Nozomi dodged this bolt but she couldn't return the blow as the heartless chased after her through the air again! Annoyed as she had to flee once more, the female keyblader would love to do nothing more than knock that witch sky high off her throne!
Turning though to Cait sith she asked him again, "but what!? What's the problem!?"
With that sensing her irritation the small black and white cat told her quickly feeling the same frustration, "it's that hag lass! We won't be able to take out that beastie unless we get rid of her! Plus-"
At that point Nozomi turned in the air again, to avoid another blast of ice from the heartless! As she got out of the way, she asked getting more mad, "plus what!?"
Cait sith then just told her bluntly, "we ain't got a chance in the air lass! If we could just do somethin' underwater than I reckon we'd have somethin but-"
"I can't swim if I'm not mermaid..." she said, finishing Cait sith's sentence for him.
Depressed she'd recognised the truth, the small cat told her, "afraid so lass! Our chances are real nil at this rate!"
Hearing this though, Nozomi didn't want to accept it as she said now frustrated and highly anxious, "but we gotta do something Cait sith! Everyone's counting on us! If we lose then that's the end of everybody in this world! It'll-"
"I know lass! I know!" The small cat told her, he then tried to reassure her despite the situation they were in, "we'll be able to pull somethin' together! If we just-"
Suddenly the small cat stopped in his tracks, as something glittered and shone on the icy floor of the battleground. Seeing it, he could feel a sensation of powerful magic! Could it possibly be? Knowing this was no time to doubt, Cait sith made an instant instruction, "lass turn face and fly down that way!"
Hearing this Nozomi was instantly baffled by this sudden change in conversation as she asked, "what!? But if I head down that way, Morgana will have that heartless remove the ice before I-"
"Just do it lass!" Cait sith told her madly as he pulled hard on a strand of her hair to lead her in the right direction!
"Oww!" Annoyed and puzzled beyond belief, the female keyblader though irritated followed the small cat's direction as she dove through the air, and headed to where Cait sith was pointing to!
Seeing where she was going to, Morgana laughed as she said, "ha! Looks like someone's in need of another cold shower!" With that she cast another bolt of lightning which sent her instructions to the Narwhale heartless and quickly the enormous beast went to carry out her order!
In the meantime below, landing upon the icy snow floor. Nozomi stood up hurriedly as Cait sith picked up whatever it was he'd seen! Turning back and looking into the air, she saw the heartless preparing his blue bolt which in seconds would make the ice all around them turn back into the cold treacherous sea!
Looking up the female keyblader saw that the attack was about to come and as she did, she cried out, "Cait sith! Will you hurry up! We gotta move or-"
"This is it lass! This is gonna turn this fight right on its dang head!" The small cat proclaimed loudly!
Hearing him say this, Nozomi was confused beyond all degree as she turned to him and asked, "what the heck are you talking about!? What will-"
However the small cat turned back around and landed quickly on her shoulder as he told her, "no time for questionin' lass! Now ya just follow what I say and do it exactly!"
Baffled still, Nozomi though had no time to doubt as she knew better than that at that moment to argue, so quietly she made herself listen to Cait sith's words!
Above them all however, Morgana was ready with her plan of attack and quickly she cried out, "now fire away! You wretched heartless!" With that instantly the monster unleashed it's blue ray and quickly it impacted the ice, that Nozomi and Cait sith still stood upon!
Seeing what was still happening from on high, Riku along with Mickey were both stressed with worry! Quickly the mouse king cried out, "Nozomi! Cait sith! Get out of there! Ya both can't-"
It was too late though as the bolt hit the icy surface and immediately it caused the level to transform and quickly both cat and keyblader fell into the water!
Then as this happened, Morgana decided to make this a little more deviously interesting as she cried out, "now let's finally seal the deal and end this!" With that she cast another bolt and this one again struck the Narwhale heartless and instantly the creature reacted as it unleashed another bolt from it's white horn! Quickly the water below turned into ice, thus sealing both Nozomi and Cait sith under it leaving them both to drown!
Seeing this happen, everyone above was horrified and immediately Riku cried out in terror, "NOO!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gazing on from her hiding spot with terror herself, Melody then cried out too, "oh no! No!" for there was no way for either of them to make it out of there! This was it! It was over... they were both gone and all hope was-
Suddenly though there was a rumbling from under the ice! Her eyes widening, Melody couldn't figure out what that was! What was-!?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Suddenly from under the ice came a loud blast making a huge hole in the ice! Everyone looking on was shocked, including the evil villainess herself and quickly she started to demand, "what in the!? Just what-!?"
"HAAA!"
Then in moment's arriving from out of the cracked icy hole, quickly Nozomi appeared however she had changed, she was a mermaid again! Seeing her splash out of the water and then back into it everyone was astounded! How did this happen?! How did-
Cait sith though riding upon Nozomi's shoulder within his bubble again he cried out boastfully, "think ya got rid of us that easily ya old hag!" Then pulling the sides of his mouth he stuck his tongue out as he told her,"ya gotta try harder than that!"
Seeing this Morgana had no idea how this happened! However she was not pleased by this mockery or this unexpected return as she quickly cried out infuriated, "why you!" With that she unleashed another bolt of lightning from the Trident which headed straight in both the keyblader's direction!
ZAPP!
Quickly acting though, Nozomi leaped out of the water as she launched herself forwards and cried out,"FIRAGA!" With that she blasted another hole in the ice and quickly she dived through it, making the terrible lightning blast miss her in moments!
Seeing that she'd missed, Morgana was becoming more and more irritated, then turning around she ordered the monster, "what're you doing! Get them!" With that at it's master's command, the giant Narwhale heartless dove into the hole Nozomi had created making it bigger as he smashed his way through!
There was silence... then suddenly all at once there was more rumbling from below the ice and suddenly-
"YYYAAA!"
Again Nozomi and Cait sith emerged from the ice through another hole! Then as they sailed through the air, Cait sith boasted out loudly again, "HA! That the best ya got ya wrinkly urchin! I've seen toads that have aimed better!" With that both keyblader and cat disappeared again with a splash under the ice!
Seeing what they were doing, nobody could figure out what their plan was?! Looking on Mickey had to ask, "what are they both up to down there? What could they-"
"I don't know your majesty... but whatever it is, it'll be something that even we wouldn't be able to think of!" Riku told the king, for though he was uncertain and fretful like Mickey was... that trust and belief he had in his friends hadn't wavered! Also as she dived in out of the water, he could see now how she'd been able to survive in this world... plus he had to admit with a small to a smile to himself that Nozomi looked good as a mermaid.
As he thought this to himself in another moment, suddenly a new hole emerged and from it Morgana's heartless came! It roared loudly as it disappeared under the water again having missed it's prey, as it did this the evil sea witch was getting more and more impatient! Angered she shouted out madly, "what're you doing! You useless heartless! I want that girl and cat dead! Can't you-"
All of a sudden the throne she was upon shook terribly! Feeling it shudder she asked, "huh?! What!? What is-"
Then Instantly before she could blink, the very ice her throne was created from began to shatter and break apart from the bottom! This immediately made the very top of it fall over and as it did, the evil sea witch fell with it! She descended screaming as she went, "AAAAGGGGHHHH!" With that in another second she collided into the icy floor and was knocked out cold as her throne continued to fall apart!
In moments from the base of the shattered sharpened throne, emerged her heartless which roared loudly fully enraged as it turned about in the air searching for it's prey which had evaded it's oncoming charge!
Immediately emerging too from the debris of the throne, swimming through an icy tube that was left behind. Nozomi and Cait sith came burst forth from it in moment's! As they did the female keyblader floating in the air quickly returned back to her human form as she escaped the water!
At their emergence all those who were captive couldn't help but smile at their appearance! Nozomi and Cait sith too were smiling happily as the plan was falling into place! The small cat laughed as he boasted and saw Morgana's concussive state, "HA! It's about time she got thrown off there! That hag was getting' on me nerves!"
Nozomi then couldn't help but agree as she nodded and said, "tell me about it!" With that said she turned as she looked up to the giant Narwhale and as she saw it she concluded, "now to take care of the biggest annoyance of all!"
With that at once the heartless roared again as it went to charge in to attack it's prey, it's three horns sparking with's it's ferocious power as it was ready to initiate it's terrible hurricane attack! However drawing her own keyblade forth, Nozomi pointed it to the beast as she told it angrily, "you're not getting me this time! You're the one that's gonna be sent spiralling!" With that she spun her blade around and around in a fast circle in her right hand as her power increased tremendously!
The monster above her was getting ready to unleash it's terrible power as it crackled and sparked along it's long horns, however Nozomi was ready first! Moving she cried out loudly, "LUMINOUS TORNADO!" With that the attack stormed forth as a glittering tornado of light emerged!
It ensnared the giant heartless disrupting it's preparations as it was sent flying high into the air! It quickly became disoriented by this sudden impact of power, dizzy it wavered to and throw in the air!
Seeing that the second stage was done, Cait sith then announced, "all right lass come on! Stage three! Stage three! Get it goin'!"
Hearing him in moments Nozomi replied quickly, "you got it!" With that the female keyblader raised her hand as she brought out a single green gem from her pocket, then raising it into the air she cried out loudly, "grant me strength!" Then striking the stone with her keyblade she cried out loudly a single name, "MAIA!"
With that instantly from the glittering green gem, her summon spirit emerged coloured a wondrous beautiful jade green as countless flowers and blossoms rained forth from her! Seeing her again, Nozomi smiled but quickly this was no time to reminisce as she told her, "Maia! Quickly I need you to go down and gather the power I've left behind!"
Then looking up she, Cait sith along with the spirit herself saw that the heartless was recovering and it was turning it's gaze back to it's prey again! It was more irritated than ever! Seeing this, Nozomi turned to Maia again as she told her, "please hurry!"
With that the spirit nodded quietly and with that she descended quickly down to gather the power she'd been instructed to get! In the meantime, Nozomi proceeded with her evading as the heartless proceeded to chase after her and tried to strike her down with ferocious blasts from it's horns, quickly though the female keyblader dodged each every blast that was sent her way!
Seeing her evade, everybody watched from their captive positions down below Maia as she went forth around the four holes that had been created in the ice and snow! As she did, immediately four huge glowing sparkling orbs emerged being carried by flower like pedestals! What were-?!
However quickly Maia finished her task and instantly she ascended to re-join with her master! In the air Nozomi dodged again another blast of ice and as she did Cait sith cried out, "oh will that Maia lass just hurry up! I don't wanna be a frozen-"
Suddenly though the small cat stopped in his tracks for appearing there quickly before them both, was the talked about spirit! Seeing her Nozomi immediately smiled and as she did she said, "well done Maia!"
The female spirit nodded happily, however there was a roar from above! As it came quickly they all turned to see the massive Narwhale heartless above them and seeing it they all knew they had to act now! So quickly turning the female keyblader told her summon, "okay let's go Maia!" With that the gentle green spirit nodded as she entered the blade of the urgent girl!
Seeing her do this, Nozomi looked above herself and there she saw the heartless again preparing it's ultimate attack! But now the female keyblader was ready with her own! Moving her keyblade above herself with both hands she felt Maia's power course throughout her!
As it did, instantly from below the four flowering orbs of throbbing thunderous power bloomed brightly and at once four powerful beams of thunder emerged from them and connected themselves to Nozomi's keyblade and as they did, one source of thunderous energy glowed powerfully on its end as it gained in size and ferocity!
Down below finally awakening from her rude falling, Morgana looked up and saw what was occurring with widened eyes! However she saw her heartless was ready too as it's own thunderous three bolts were ready to strike down the meddlesome keyblader! She smiled with anticipation! This was gonna be the end of that brat and cat!
As this thought came to her the monster released it's deadly barrage of blue, yellow and white lightning straight at the keyblader! However Nozomi was ready herself as she spun in the air and aimed with her keyblade, she shouted out loudly, "EMERAUDE THUNDER SHINIG STRIKE!"
With that instantly as she shouted this out, one huge bolt of lightning escaped from her keyblade! Instantly it clashed with the monster's power! The two powerful bolts struck each other furiously as they crackled madly with each trying to viscously overcome the other!
However even as the heartless still poured all it's power forward, Nozomi knew inside just from her pure determination and with the help of both Cait sith and Maia on her side, that she was the one with the better strength! As she felt it climax within her she shouted out loudly to the heartless, "YOU'RE FINISHED!"
Cait sith hearing her battle cry then shouted with fury and invigoration himself, "HERE WE GO LASS!" With that single shout instantly the powerful attack ripped straight through the heartless! The monster howled in agony as it crackled and charged all over with white light, falling through the air!
Morgana seeing what was happening cried out in terror as she saw the massive beast was coming right on top of her! Moving fast she went to quickly to dodge out of the way! However-
"AAAGGGHHH!"
SMASH!
At once the heartless fell and as it did, it smashed straight through the surface of snow and ice, creating a huge wave of water! This spray quickly spread above and immediately as it did Nozomi shielded her eyes, in moments tit soaked her making her turn back into a mermaid!
Then removing her hand quickly both she and Cait sith, saw immediately an enormous heart fly away into the sky above and quickly the heartless's body vanished away into darkened dust...
The monster gone, Nozomi breathed out a sigh of relief as Cait sith punched his paw into the air as he cried out, "WHOO! Slam and dunk lass we did it!"
Happily Nozomi agreed with him, "yeah we did!" Then quickly emerging from her keyblade, her summon spirit came forth smiling gently. As she did, her summoner smiled as she told her, "thanks again, Maia! See you again!" With that the summon spirit nodded and with that she vanished away as she returned to her green summon gem form and landed within Nozomi's palm.
Then suddenly in the distance there came a positive shout, "way to go Nozomi! Cait sith! You beat it!"
Seeing who it was Nozomi replied back as she waved to her, "yeah we did! Thanks Melody!"
Cait sith then had to tell her, "ya know lass! I gotta say that spell combo thing ya did there was real impressive! Where'd ya learn it?"
Nozomi then turning to him said, "oh I learnt the 'Shining Step' move sometime ago and well... it was just thank goodness that it could absorb my thunder spells and that Maia could join it all together! We were really lucky!" Then looking to the dark blue gem that was on her wrist, "plus finding this stone..." turning to Cait sith she was about to ask him, "just where do you think-"
Suddenly though the keyblader was interrupted as an angry shout sounded from below, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Shocked there was no time for the keyblader or cat to react as they were immediately both struck by a furious bolt of green thunder!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
Immediately as their screams filled the air, Melody was horrified! For there suddenly emerging from the debris of ice upon a newly formed throne was Morgana! With the Trident outstretched in her hand she held both Nozomi and Cait sith captive as she rose up into the air with them!
Seeing what was happening, the white pyjama girl was horrified as she cried out, "guys!" She knew quickly she had to do something! Despite her being powerless, she was now the only one who could now move! So launching herself forwards within her protective bubble she went to climb the entwining and sharpened pillar of ice that was before her!
Still held captive with her arms outstretched Nozomi was helpless! She couldn't move her body at all against this terrible paralysing power and Cait sith was the same way, for he too was being held aloft by Morgana's blast! Struggling badly, the small cat cried out, "what's the big idea!? Let us out of this! This minute! Ya old hag!"
Facing them though the evil sea witch was no longer going to be patient with either of these pests! So enraged she increased the level of the Trident's power as she said, "I've had just about enough out of both of you!"
"AAGGHH!" Nozomi cried out loudly! For the pain was horrible as it pulsed all over her!Then at that moment as she Cait sith cried out with her, the small cat was overcome and his protective bubble fell away, along with the others that had up until then kept the others safe all vanished!
Seeing what had happened to her and him immediately both Riku and Mickey cried out in worry, "NOZOMI! CAIT SITH!"
At that moment, Melody was still climbing the towering throne and then as she made another leap to a nearby ledge her bubble burst and vanished away! This terrified her as she held on desperately to the ledge she'd just made it to! Clinging on tightly it was cold and slippery, but she had to persevere! She was almost at the top, just a little more!
Cringing from the pain she was in, Nozomi gazed at angrily at Morgana but she was powerless to stop her while still in her mermaid form! The evil sea witch seeing this and that the rest of her foes were now utterly helpless too, she decided to finish them all off in one foul swoop! Holding the Trident tightly she spoke brimming with malice, "it's over for all of you!"
Finally then at that moment Melody had just made it to the top and as she did, Morgana was raising the Trident as it glowed terribly with her malicious power and rage, "now I sentence all of you to oblivion!"
Everyone braced themselves for the terrible power that was about to storm forth when suddenly Melody jumped forward and snatched the golden Trident from Morgana's grasp! She slipped as she landed hurriedly on the icy floor of the platform.
Seeing her suddenly appear and do this fast action, Nozomi cried out in worry for her friend, "Melody!?" For now she was right in front of the most deadly person in this world!
The evil sea witch seeing who had arrived was surprised but then she became further frustrated, but smiling she asked the pathetic girl sinisterly, "you!? Just what do you think you're going to do with that!?"
As her terrible tentacles came crawling towards her, Melody tried to move back quickly however she came to the edge of the ice! There was nowhere for her to go, so she cried out pointing the golden powerful treasure at the terrible sea witch, "stay back!"
Morgana though became simply amused as the foolish girl had acted too quickly, "wrong end sweetheart!" With that she pushed the end of the treasure away as she immediately went back to using her black tentacles to subdue the girl!
Cait sith quickly cried out angered, "oi pick on someone yer own size ya hag! Leave the lass alone!"
Seeing one of her terrible limbs wrap itself around her friend's leg, Nozomi immediately cried out too worried, as she struggled against the power that held her back "Melody no! Leave her alone! Stop it!"
The young girl was terrified as she was being pulled forwards, however quickly she noticed something and acted stabbing a nearby tentacle that fell beside her! Immediately Morgana yelled out from the pain as she clutched her wounded limb, "AGGH!"
Then as she held her it, suddenly she heard Melody cry out, "Grandfather! I think this belongs to you!" With that she threw the Trident back behind her!
However instantly as she did this, the evil sea witch pushed the young girl off of the edge of the platform as she cried out loudly, "NOOOOO!"
"AAAAGGGGHHH!"
"MELDOY!" Nozomi cried out in horror as her friend fell helpless through the air!
Quickly though Triton caught the Trident and as he did, Nozomi finally was returned to her human form and was freed herself from Morgana's spell! As she rushed down, Cait sith cried out, "we're comin' Melody lass!"
Her wings beating quickly the female keyblader quickly got closer and closer! Then finally in moments she caught up to her friend as she grabbed onto her right wrist tightly, with relief the two of them smiled to one another quietly as they gently descended to the surface below.
Triton finally having his Trident returned, immediately used it's power as he quickly restored the environment to what it was before, making the pillars of ice lower themselves as well as freeing everyone from the terrible kneeling spell!
As he and the others made it back down, he turned to Morgana angrily who cowered at his gaze trying to hide herself amongst her tentacles. Enraged he told her, "never again! Will you or yours threaten my family! There will be no escape for you! EVER!" With that in moments a golden bolt escaped from Triton's majestic weapon as it struck the evil sea witch!
"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
In moments Morgana's body froze as she was placed into a huge cube of ice, freezing her entire being fast! Then due to the weight of her prison and without the magical support of the Trident, her sharpened and ominous throne of ice shattered to pieces and as it collapsed, she fell with it... into the deepest and darkest realms of the ocean... never to be heard or spoken of again...
