Chapter CCXVI: The Loot Of A Thousand Worlds, The Quest For Treasure Planet Final Part III
"HHHAAA!"
Striking fast and furiously, Riku using his keyblade, 'The Way To Dawn,' then quickly flew through the air and landing quickly upon the fiery floor of the core to Treasure Planet. He looked up to the one who was attacking him, with fierce determination.
Hari who was the assailant, looked down at him with her cold green eyes. Her metallic and wired wing's outstretched, she flexed her right arm and hand that that held her own keyblade. 'The Subtle Scythe.' Doing this, she looked at him and uttered, "So? It seems you're still gifted in the ways of the sword..."
Riku hearing her pause, could sense something was coming! As he did, Cait sith felt the same as he then patted him on his shoulder whispered to him, "Get yerself ready lad!" The white haired keyblader responded with a single firm nod.
Then as he did this, Hari's right hand then glowed brightly with red and orange light. As it crackled all over with that powerful glow, the servant to Maleficent then aimed and said with deadly intent, "But you will not survive this magic!"
BLAST!
With that in seconds, the powerful scarlet electrified blast of furious fire descended and came straight for the alerted keyblader!
Seeing the attack coming, Riku's eyes narrowed in serious concentration. Then moving fast, he jumped out of the way of the fire! Then as he flew into the air-!
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
Hari unleashed more of her fire spells! As she did so, quickly in seconds Riku struck into each and all of the deadly magical missiles. Making them scatter apart and disintegrate against his own power!
Then seeing this occur, Cait sith though pleased for him, as he continued to ride his shoulder felt something! Turning immediately he became high on alert as he cried out, "Oh! Lad!"
Hearing him, Riku turned but there before him at the corner of his eye. He saw Hari! Her right hand glowing with fierce burning power, as she aimed at the back of his head her eyes narrowed deadly, as she informed him, "You're mine!" With those words-!
BLAST!
"AGH!"
As he was sent flying forwards back to the floor, Riku was awaiting the pain that was sure to come! But-!
SHINE!
In seconds, his body glowed all over with vibrant yellow light! Surprised as he saw this, the white haired young man saw with amazement that Cait sith had stepped forward and had created his protective yellow shield spell! With his arms outstretched, maintaining the magic he informed the attacking girl, "Not yet he ain't!"
Riku was glad for this and was further impressed by Cait sith's power! However, he didn't have time to dwell on this, he had to end this fight quickly! For they all had to get out of that hellish chamber together, otherwise none of them would ever get out of this alive!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bubbling away, Morph flying through the fire and chaos didn't know what was going on. However, seeing the white haired keyblader and crowned cat, with a grin and smile he at first went to go in their direction!
"HAA!"
BLAST!
SLASH!
Quickly though seeing the fight that was going on between Hari and Riku, the small transforming creature could sense it was bad and really dangerous! He lost his smile instantly and looking around, he shuddered with nervousness, then feeling the blaze of all the fire and the heat... he knew he had to get out of there! He had to go somewhere! But-?!
"Swift Star Rays!"
Hearing this cry, the small pink creature recognised this voice! As he did so, he then turned and saw that on a approaching ship. It was none other than Nozomi! Her wings outstretched upon her feet, she was flying through the air!
Seeing her, in seconds feeling some sort of relief the small creature quickly flew forwards to go to her. Avoiding as best he could, the dangerous lines of burning lilac lasers and blasting pillars of fire that were blasting forth everywhere that threatened to incinerate him!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SLASH!
"Tch!"
Falling back, as the Scorpion Heartless attacked her with it's sharpened tail. Nozomi breathed in and out hard, for she had defended herself well up to this point. Stopping the creature from letting it make any physical blows on her, it was clear she could hold her own against it, defensively.
However looking back up to the tail that was hung back up, she saw it continued to hold the one person she needed to rescue. Jim. He gritted his teeth, for being swung around by the creature's tail was hard and painful, as it was still squeezing into him tightly.
Seeing this feeling horrible for him, Nozomi wanted to rescue him! To get him out of the monster's horrible grip! But at the same time, she had to be careful with the way she attacked, for if she mis-aimed, he would be the one to get hurt and-!
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Hearing this voice with alarm, the female keyblader then looking up saw that it was none other than Pete who was laughing at her! With a smug grin on his face, he couldn't help but say with a clear boast, "Yer still wet behind the ears, runt!"
Silent as she heard this, Nozomi though quickly became visibly bitter with anger as she stared up at the overweight villain. Gripping her keyblade, she wanted to beat him! She wanted-!
"Yer never gonna have a chance to win now!" Pete boasted. Then as he did so, he slapped the top of the Heartless's head. As he did so, the creature reared itself up and doing so, it loomed down at Nozomi with it's big pincers snapping loudly, ready to attack!
Seeing this, Nozomi's eyes widened and as this occurred-!
SNAP!
SNAP!
Suddenly without the monster moving, it's pincers raced forwards from it's joint's in a hail of golden coins, the dangerous ligaments rushed straight towards her!
Shocked as he saw this, Nozomi smashed her weapon into one of the snapping pincers and then the other! As she did so, the thin golden lines the pincers were connected to were sliced off! Leaving the monster now armless! But as it became so-!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
Immediately the detached pincers floated and charged from behind her and struck straight into her, sending her off of her feet!
Landing straight into the floor of the ship, the female keyblader aching from this attack, tried to pull herself up. It was clear she was struggling, then as she moved-!
"Nozomi! Move!"
Hearing this frightened cry, the female keyblade raised her head and as she did, her eyes became horrified as she saw-!
CRASH!
Suddenly the Heartless scorpion stabbed his tail straight into the floor of the wrecked ship! Pete seeing this, though grinning at first then became annoyed as he uttered, "Tch! We missed!"
For there having rolled out of the way and getting as quick as she could, back on to her feet. Nozomi had escaped the blow and was breathing hard with adrenaline! It was clear she was frustrated.
SHAKE!
"Agh!" Panicked, Mr Silver who continued to steer the wrecked ship barely then avoided another oncoming lilac burning laser! Annoyed as he felt this happen, he looked back and cried out, "Pete! Fer the last time! Watch what yer doin' back there!" With that steering the wheel again, he added with hard concentration, "I don't want this treasure and us to be meetin' with Davey Jones's locker!"
Jim hearing this was annoyed at the self inclined cyborg, however looking to Nozomi he was glad for one thing. That he'd been able to help her, despite his captive situation. But this still wasn't enough to him! He had to do something! He couldn't be a prisoner like this any longer. He had to plan...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rushing through the air, Riku striking past Hari again looked back to her. As he did so, he breathed in and out hard from the exhilaration! Then as he did so, he spied her hand glowing!
"Incoming lad!" Cait sith cried out and as the small crowned cat did this, the white haired keyblader quickly moved!
BLAST!
Instantly another fire spell was unleashed and made a exploding pillar of flames upon the floor, reaching up high into the air! Wincing against the heat as it came, Riku looked on with frustrated eyes at the inferno.
Cait sith himself seeing that he'd evaded successfully told him, "Well done lad!" However looking above, he saw Hari continued to look down at them with her cold green eyes. As she did so, he had to comment honestly, "But we gotta do somethin' better than this! Cause-!"
BLAST!
Then suddenly from over head, one of the lilac blazing lasers fired off and as it did so, it destroyed another section of the floor! As it did so, it dipped the entire metallic panel they were upon making them all begin to slide down fast!
Seeing this with alarm, Cait sith then cried out in alarm, "We ain't got no time!"
Hearing this as well as viewing the terrible fiery abyss that was below them, Riku responded, "I know!" Then quickly running, he launched himself forwards and jumped upon another falling panel, he jumped upon another and another! Quickly ascending his mind raced as he added, "I'm going to think of something!"
As he said this, Cait sith then demanded out of him, "And just what'-! Whoa!" However quickly distracted by another falling piece of flooring, he was made silent!
Avoiding this falling projectile, Riku then told him mad, "It'll be something that'll work! I promise!" Then fast approaching the surface, he gripped his right fist tightly! As he did so, he summoned every ounce of power inside of himself... for he needed all he had to deal with their deadly winged attacker!
Hari continuing to gaze on down, stared at Riku coldly. As she did so, she saw him ascend into the air quickly, out of the fiery inferno and as he did so, she brought out her keyblade. Doing so, she aimed at him and commented, "You certainly are persistent aren't you?"
Riku though didn't respond to her words. Instead he continued to charge forwards. As he did so, Hari pointed down and told him, "Well, allow me then to cut you-"
However quickly in seconds, Riku vanished from her sights! As he did so, silently Hari turned her eyes to the side and doing that-!
"FIRAGA!"
In seconds, the cold emotionless female keyblader was struck from behind! Falling through the air, with widened eyes as her body began to smoulder-!
"THUNDAGA!"
Suddenly she was struck again and was electrified all over! Making her become paralysed as she fell in the air!
Seeing that his own two surprise spell attacks had struck on target, Riku pushed himself and unleashed blow upon blow, on the winged assailant! As he did so, he pushed all the strength he had into his attack! For he had to finish her off fast!
Cait sith in the meantime seeing him, hit his mark! Was becoming pumped and so cried, "Well done lad! That's how ya pound 'em!" Then as Riku finished his last blow, he cried out enthusiastically, "Now go on! Give her, her last heavy knock!"
Hearing Cait sith say this, Riku then responded immediately, "Gladly!" With that feeling his dark power pulse throughout his being, he felt it ignite powerfully! Then he moved fast as he cried out, "Dark Impulse!"
With that he struck Hari hard forwards into the air! Then flying fast overhead of her, he flew in another direction and aiming straight for her, he pushed himself and stabbed into her. Over, over and over again in a furious hail of blow's!"
Hari gasping as each blow came, Riku feeling the climax of his power come, struck straight into her middle! Then diving down with her under his blade, the two of them fell straight onto the crumbling flooring!
BLAST!
CRASH!
Riku then falling onto the hard floor with Hari, felt his fires of darkness burn even more strongly from within! As it did so, he then cried out loudly, "Dark Firaga!" With that he unleashed the fierce dark fire's upon his target!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Agh!"
Falling back fast, from another sling of the golden Scorpion's pincers. Nozomi cringed as she looked up to the monster! With deep frustration she still hadn't been able to make a dent on it!
Seeing this happen as she slid down, Pete was enjoying this moment with great exhilaration! Then as he looked down at her, he couldn't help but say, "What's wrong sweet cheeks? Too slick for ya!?"
Nozomi hearing him, then opened her mouth to respond bitterly when-!
BLAST!
Turning around as she heard this loud blast, Nozomi then turned distracted as Pete did with shock that behind upon the firing inferno floor. There was a burning dark purple pillar of flames and burning under it was-!
"Hari!?"
Surprised as she heard this call, Nozomi turned back to look at Pete and as she saw his horrified expression she was confused by his reaction. But then seeing Riku looking over his fallen target, she was more impressed by the fact that he had overcome Hari. All on his own, a small smile came to her face amongst all this gloom and tribulation as she said quietly, "He did it!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ya did it lad!" Cait sith cried out proudly! Punching his gloved paw up into the air in happy victory!
Breathing in and out hard, Riku at first didn't reply to this statement, however after a moment he finally said, "Yeah..." then looking to the wrecked ship which was still fleeing. He saw Nozomi and the monster she was battling against and as he did, he said, "But now... we gotta help Nozomi and Jim! We have to go!"
Hearing him, Cait sith then quickly nodded and replied, "Yeah, yer right lad! C'mon let's go!"
As these words came, Riku went immediately to move forwards! But before he made it a single step away-!
GRAB!
Suddenly the white haired young man felt his right leg being grabbed. As he did so, in shock he saw startled that Hari had gripped onto him tightly with her right hand stopping him in, his tracks!
Widened eyed as he saw this, Cait sith cried out mad to the lying long haired girl, "Oi! What do ya think yer doin'!? What-!"
Then stopping him in his tracks, Hari looked up at them with her chilling cold green eyes. As she did so, she uttered, "I have you...!"
With that as she said those words, in seconds from around her, her wings came apart and re-formed into long threatening swords! All of their sharp points concentrated on Riku as he looked on startled!
Cait sith just as startled demanded looking around at the deadly implements, "Wha!? Wha!? What!?" But there was no time to say another word, for then-!
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Quickly Nozomi's small smile vanished for then in horror, for she saw Hari summon up her deadly wing swords and in seconds all of them began to slash and cut into Riku! Giving him no chance to fight back! Her eyes widening at the sight she cried out, "Riku!?"
Jim seeing the attack that was happening, his own eyes widened in horror. Even as he continued to be held onto the golden scorpion heartless. This made him more determined than ever, he had to get out of the grip of this monster and fast! He had to-!
"Thank goodness..."
Puzzled as he heard this response, the hostage young man turned his eyes to Pete's direction. As he did so he was confused, for had the overweight villain uttered that? Why-?
But he didn't get the time to dwell on his thoughts, for being quickly lifted up into the air again by the heartless. He saw the monster begin to manouver his pincers! As he did so, he became alarmed! Then as he did so, he heard Pete continued on to say, "Now to make that little runt pay!" With that, the heartless moved and began to make it's next move upon it's unwary prey!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"AAAGGGHHH!"
Being lifted into the air, by each blow of the winged swords. Riku didn't have any chance against her terrible overwhelming power!
Cait sith holding onto his shoulder for dear life, then cried out, "Lad hang on!" With that, rubbing his gloved paws together he went to go and release his shield protecting power! But before he had a chance to-!
SLASH!
"AGH!"
Quickly the crowned cat was sent flying off of his pal's shoulder! Panicked he cried out distressed, "Lad!?"
Hearing his cry, Riku cringing then knew he had no-one there who could shield him from Hari's attacks! He didn't-!
However quickly in seconds, he saw arriving before him was the cold girl and staring at him, she asked, "Upon your last ounces of power are you?"
As she said those words, despite his pain. Riku gritting his teeth aimed his right hand and in seconds shouted out,
"BLIZZAGA!"
SHINE!
In seconds, the winged girl was encapsulated in ice! Frozen in place, the attack from the swords ceased! Then as it did so, in seconds Riku dived down and immediately he caught his feline pal from falling!
Feeling his touch as he did this, the crowned cat pleased then cried out, "Whoa! Lad! Nice quick thinking there!"
Riku just as pleased went to say something to him, but-!
BLAST!
Immediately from behind terrifying both him and Cait sith, was Hari! Freed from the ice, her body was electrified with red lightning volts. But quickly she was became no longer dressed in her normal attire, she instead became dressed in her red knight armour.
She was an ominous presence to be hold, she was thundering all over with overwhelming power and as her winged swords came to dance about her, hauntingly she declared to the shocked white haired keyblader and cat, "Now... it's time for our final waltz!" With that she raised her keyblade and as she did so, her power grew from within as she prepared to unleash her most deadly attack!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nozomi's eyes widening, then saw what was coming! Hari was preparing her most powerful attack! She then uttered, "It's the Kali Maelstrom!" Then as she uttered this, she realised that she had to get to them both! Then as she thought this, she said aloud, "I gotta move!" With that she went to move, But before she could-!
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Suddenly she was stopped in her tracks. For then rubbing himself into her cheek, was! "Morph!?"
For there the small pink transforming jelly creature was right before her! Giggling with happiness as he stroked himself into her baffled self.
Confused looking down to him she asked, "What're you doing here!? What-!"
"NOZOMI!"
Startled as she heard this shout, the female keyblader turned herself around! As she did so, she saw-!
SLASH!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
Immediately Nozomi was sent flying off the side of the ship! As the monster's pincers collided straight into her, the deadly limbs quickly zipped back into place upon the scorpion's body! Then as it did this, Pete on board boasted, "That'll teach ya!"
Seeing this happen, Jim was horrified! But before he could utter a word, suddenly the scorpion heartless rushed him and Pete forwards, then arriving over the side of the ship the creature aimed it's pincers straight down towards the falling keyblader!
His eyes widening, Jim had no idea what the creature was going to do! But Pete grinning narrowed his eyes sinisterly with glee as he declared, "Now ta give ya even more punishment!" With that he snapped his fingers!
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
In seconds, the heartless stood up upon it's tall insectile legs! Then manoeuvring it's pincers high up, it's enormous skull like head looked down over the side too and in seconds it opened it's wide sharp toothed jaws! Then as this occurred something terrible began to glow from within it!
Jim seeing this, could see this light was golden! As he saw this, he had to ask, "This light it's-!?"
SHINE!
Silver feeling this golden radiance was baffled, then turning from his steering for a moment he demanded, "What in tha blue blazes is-!?"
Suddenly interrupting the cyborg captain, the monster unleashed it's attack and in seconds a huge flood of crackling golden light flooded down in a torrent of fire! Heading straight down in Nozomi's helpless direction!
The female keyblader descending fast, was stunned and flying down with, Morph was desperately trying to awaken her as he panicked stricken bumped into her cheek over and over! Then feeling the radiation from the blast that was fast approaching, he cried out in panic!
It was then hearing this cry, Nozomi's eyes opened. As they did so, she asked drowsily, "What is-?' But quickly seeing the power that was coming her way, she was stilled into silence! For what was-!?
SHINE!
Then suddenly her thoughts interrupted, the female keyblader turned her head and in her upside down vision. She saw quickly again the red ominous glowing light of Hari's attack! She was reaching her peak and seeing that as her adversary's terrible swords surrounded Riku and Cait sith. She quickly remembered she had to help them too! But how was she-!?
GLOW!
Before she could finish her thoughts though, suddenly something glowed brightly upon her right wrist! Looking on, she saw it was her summon gem bracelet Cait sith had made for her! Upon it, one blue/grey stone coloured gem was glowing!
Seeing it she asked, "Goliath?" Remembering him, she then understood why it was emitting that light! Then as she thought quickly to herself she realised, "Yeah! You can help!" With that she took the gem off from the bracelet!
Holding it close to her chest, as Morph hid himself within the confines of the neckline of her top. She uttered gently, "Please... protect both Riku and Cait sith!" With that moving herself she aimed and cried out, "Go now, Goliath!"
With that taking her keyblade she struck the gem like a baseball and sent the shining summon creature flying in her friend's direction!
Seeing him go and transform into his true form, the keyblader could only hope he could do something! Then as she turned in the air, suddenly she noticed something upon her right arm! Looking it was finally that she noticed the armlet! Looking at it, she wondered to herself, "What is-!?"
SHINE!
But it was too late for her to say anymore, for the golden light of the heartless finally reached her and bathed her in it's hellish blaze!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Feeling petrified beyond all reason, Cait sith bristling cried out, "Oh lad!"
Riku seeing the light too was horrified! For the fierce red light of Hari's attack was fast approaching them both! Realising this, as the swords began to enclose on them, there was nowhere to run! There was-!
SHINE!
Suddenly a shining silver light caught Riku's eye! Turning where he could see it, he saw-!
But he couldn't get any other details down for fast approaching the figure that emerged flew straight forwards like an arrow and in seconds went straight for Hari!
Seeing the oncoming attack herself, the knight clad female keyblader looking on uttered, "This-?'
SLASH!
Quickly though she was given no time to think, for instantly she was struck into by sharp claws! Feeling this impact, instantly her attack was stopped as she was swung down in the air! As this falling sensation sunk in, she opened her emerald green eyes and saw that flying above was a tall muscular grey skinned gargoyle. With long flowing locks of black hair behind him as his wings beat open allowing him to fly in the air, he came chasing down straight towards her!
However cool and collected, she took out her keyblade and stopped his next attack in moment's and commented, as his claws gritted against her keyblade, "So... a summon is it?"
Goliath though didn't answer her, for then swinging around he went to strike her with his long grey tail! But reacting to this, Hari bent back making the attack avoid her! But the tall grey gargoyle acted quickly and went to strike her with a powerful kick!
But moving fast again, Hari swung herself around and quickly, she called back her winged swords and had them transform back into their original state. A this happened she went to strike him with her own keyblade! As her weapon cut into the gargoyle's strong arm and he gritted his teeth, she uttered, "You certainly are tough skinned aren't you?"
Below the battling summon and winged keyblader, Riku amazed had to ask, "Goliath?" Then as this occurred to him, he looked back behind them and asked, "Nozomi? Did she-!?"
SHINE!
Quickly though interrupted the white haired keyblader saw the hellish blaze of golden fire that came falling down from the jaws and pincers of the scorpion heartless. As he did so, he became wide eyed as Cait sith cried out, "What the heck is goin-!?"
GLOW!
Immediately though from within the gold, a white light began to glow from within it! Looking on, neither cat or keyblader could have any clue as to what was going to happen next!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Laughing loudly as he finally made his conquest, Pete was grinning from ear to ear as he commented, "Now that's how ya incinerate trash!"
Silver seeing this was shocked too! But biting his lip he couldn't let his emotions get the better of him... for after all it was only the gold that mattered. It was! Wasn't it?
Jim hearing this was still stuck in shock, however as he heard these horrible words being uttered by Pete, he became angered! Struggling around, he was gonna get back at this guy! He was going to-!
GLOW!
Suddenly Pete's laughter was interrupted! For then appearing within the golden blaze was a white glow! Seeing it, the overweight villain asked baffled, "What the heck is-!?"
WHOOSH!
But instantly the golden blaze was blown away! As it was, quickly the heartless too was sent falling back from this flow of power! As it was it dug it's golden insectile legs into the wood, as it regained it's balance!
Meanwhile down below, "Hmmm...?" Confused Nozomi opening one of her lilac coloured eyes, asked, "What happened? What's-?"
Distracted though, she saw quickly that she was no longer in her normal attire! She was now instead in her light blue coloured armour again! Seeing this, she couldn't believe her eyes! As she looked at it she asked, "Huh? Why's am I in this again?" For looking in the direction where her adversary was, she commented, "Hari's over there and-!?" Then quickly she remembered the armlet again. As she did so, she asked, "Was it that thing, that-!?"
"Hey!"
Distracted, Nozomi looked above herself. As she did so, she then saw that up above, Pete was looking down at her. Still sitting upon the top of the heartless, he had an angered look on his face as he yelled down to her, "Yer gonna pay for trippin' me!"
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
Immediately the heartless hearing these words then reacted! Opening up it's jaws again and summoning it's pincers it went and launched it's horrible burning golden inferno attack again!
SHINE!
Seeing this coming, Nozomi's mind raced as her eyes widened! But quickly she remembered what she'd learned before! As she did so, she realised quickly, "That might work!" Then with no hesitations, she spun in the air and as her white wings appeared upon her feet. She went to attack!
Looking at her as she evaded the attack, Pete then cried out mad, "Oh no ya don't! Yer not gettin' outta this!" With that he clicked his fingers!
SNAP!
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
With that the heartless attacked again and went to get her! However with each blaze of fire, Nozomi evaded the blasts fired at her! But reacting swiftly, she turned about in the air and doing so she started her gathering!
Then satisfied, she nodded and said, "Now it's time!" Looking up, she ascended with a determined look on her face! Fast approaching her adversaries, she called out with a determined expression, "Shimmering Sewing!" With that in seconds, orbs of light were pulled up and fast with her right hand. In seconds the shimmering threads all spun all around her, covering her body from head to toe! Wrapping her up in a protective cocoon!
Seeing her do this, Pete couldn't understand what she was doing!? However overcoming his shock, he then said bitter with annoyance, "So being tryin' ta be a snug bug, huh?" But he decided mad, "Well it's time ta give ya a rude waking!"
SNAP!
"RRROOOAAARRRGGGHHH!"
SHINE!
With that his heartless unleashed it's attack! As it did so, the attack fast approached the cocooned keyblader! Seeing this happen, Jim then alarmed cried out, "Nozomi!" As the fire fast came at her, suddenly before the fire could touch her-!
GLOW!
Immediately Nozomi emerged from within the centre of the cocoon! Her armour now covered in a silvery sheen, she flew straight up and gripping her keyblade tightly she uttered, "Now let's see you try and burn me now!"
SHINE!
In seconds she was bathed in the fire of gold! However looking on as she continued to glow with white light, she wasn't being held back by the blaze at all! In fact she was storming straight through it! Looking on with fierce determination she cried out, "Mirror Rush!"
Seeing this, Pete couldn't believe his eyes! "How can she survive that!? That blaze's made out of pure gold?!"
Jim gazing on couldn't believe it either! However before he could dwell on this wonder-!
"HHHAAA!"
In seconds Nozomi charged straight forwards and entered the mouth of the scorpion heartless! As she did so, the monster closed it's jaws after her!
SNAP!
…
Silver having witnessed this scene, couldn't believe what he was seeing! How the female knight keyblader could just-!
GLOW!
Suddenly in seconds, the heartless started to glow all over with white light! As it did so, Pete looking down uttered, "What in tha-!?"
RUMBLE!
Quickly in seconds the surface of the heartless's skull began to shake and tremble! As it did so, the overweight villain didn't have a clue what was going on! Jim becoming wide eyed as he felt the sensation couldn't help but ask as well, "Is she-!?'
"BLOSSOMING PRISIM OF LIGHT!"
Immediately all over the skull heartless, cracks appeared as light seeped through! The monster was in agony against this terrible burst of power, it began scurrying around everywhere trying in desperation to escape the attack that was exploding from within inside of it.
Feeling this happen, Pete was beginning to panic as the heartless became chaotic. As he did so, he cried out loudly, "Oi! Quit movin'! Quit scurryin'! Yer-!?"
SHINE!
The light from the attack got stronger than as it did, the heartless froze and continued to shake and shake, until-!
EXPLODE!
Suddenly in seconds the heartless burst into pieces! Making showers of gold fall forth everywhere! As this occurred, Nozomi emerged in her reflective silvery state, as she did so she seemed to shine with mystical light, as she looked on with a fierce determined expression.
"AAAGGGHHH!"
In seconds, Pete was thrown off of the monster and in turn off the side of the ship! Seeing this happen, Silver cried out, "Pete!?"
However quickly looking back, he saw the flood of gold that was raining out everywhere! Landing in huge heaps now upon the surface of the ship, he couldn't believe it! The monster had been defeated! But then looking he saw, "Jimbo!"
For there falling through the air, as the shape of the heartless's scorpion tail fell to pieces, the once hostage Cabin Boy was now descending helplessly himself! The sight of it, made Silver freeze inside!
Jim himself seeing the floor that was descending fast and was coming straight for him! Bracing himself for the pain that was coming, suddenly-!
"Whoa!"
Suddenly in moment's he felt something catch onto his hand! Looking back, opening his eyes widely. He saw holding his right hand now and stopping his fast descent, as she stepped down with him gradually through the air. It was none other than, "Nozomi!?"
Still dressed within her light blue coloured knight armour, the female keyblader hearing him exclaim like this, she smiled and told him brightly, "Hey! You look like you needed a hand, am I wrong?"
Hearing her joke like this, despite the desperate situation they were in. Jim couldn't help but reveal a small smile himself, as he did so he uttered a simple chuckle. For now, there was some hope despite the chaos they were all trapped within.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Having watched the miraculous victory that Nozomi had created. Riku in moment's seeing her descend in the air, with her wings aloft and with Jim being held by her gentle right hand... he felt inspired!
Turning instantly as Hari clashed against Goliath again, with her keyblade making him turn in the air to face her head on with a fierce look of determination. The white haired keyblader knew what to do in seconds!
Looking to his right side, he asked, "Cait sith?"
Hearing his voice, the crowned cat looked to him and replied, "Yeah lad?'
Seeing that he'd got his attention, Riku then asked him with a confident smile emerging, "Are you ready to give Hari, the final smack down?"
Surprised to hear these words, Cait sith was dumbstruck for a moment. But then quickly a confident grin appeared upon his own face, as it did so he answered, "You bet ya!" Then looking on up eagerly to Hari, who continued to battle on with Goliath, he rubbed his gloved paws together and said, "Now let's give it to that winged hag!"
Pleased to hear him agree energetically like this, Riku continuing to smile looked up to Hari. Then seeing her fly in another direction as the strong gargoyle tried to strike into her with his claws again, he called out with a fierce look of determination coming across his face, "Goliath!"
The gargoyle hearing his voice, turned his eyes down to look to the white haired young man. As he did this, he heard him cry out, "Lift me up with you!"
Hearing him say this, the gargoyle could see the fierce determined look that was in his eyes. Doing so, he didn't need to ask to know what he wanted to do next! So quickly moving himself, as Hari came in to chase after him again, he turned in the air and swooped down and in seconds scooped Riku up with his strong right arm, as Cait sith held on for dear life!
Seeing this occur, as they quickly flew up into the air and headed in her direction. She was quiet but then had to ask, "This position they are taking? What may-?"
But saying this, she became quiet. For looking ahead she noticed something she hadn't seen before, as she did so, she asked, "Just what has-?"
"Oi! Banshee!?"
Distracted as she heard this outburst, Hari turned her green eyes in the direction where it was coming from. There quickly in seconds, charging in for her came both Riku and Goliath. Cait sith pointing his hand at her cried out, "Take this!"
With that quickly charging straight into the winged keyblader, they struck straight into her! Making her stumble in the air and descend! Seeing this, quickly both Riku and Goliath flew in underneath her, as they did so. In seconds, Riku struck into her with his keyblade and Goliath punched straight into her middle. Making her fly straight up into the air!
Seeing this occur, Riku knew he had to act fast with Goliath! So their power growing together as they both began to glitter and shine with with silvery light, they both chased after the retracting his keyblade cried out, "Take this!" With that he struck into her with his keyblade and with it burning with his powers of darkness, he shouted out to her, "Dark Aura!"
In seconds, Riku struck into Hari over and over again, becoming faster than the eye could chase, he cut into her. Over, over and over again! Her still form floating helplessly in the air, Riku ascended above her and using his blade again, he struck straight into her middle. Making her plummet and fall towards the crumbling floor!
Seeing the impact they'd all caused together, Cait sith recovering from the sudden empowered rush, immediately became ecstatic and cried out seeing their adversary fall, "Whoo! She's down! The hag is down!"
Riku breathing in and out hard from his attack, couldn't help but smile too. For that attack done along with Goliath, he was sure there was no way she would-!
But quickly his thoughts were stopped, for then suddenly the falling winged girl turned over and as she charred from the dark flames that covered her. She flew back up and as she did so, with a single swing of her keyblade, a strong wind blew away the flames that had burned her!
In shock seeing her coming, Riku had widened eye! For how could she survive-!?
Instantly though he was silenced, for the cold winged girl was charging straight towards him! Seeing him come, in seconds though Cait sith moving his gloved paws forward cried out, "Oh no ya don't!" With that the yellow glowing protective shield and as it came, he was ready for the attack he was sure would come! But-!
SWHOOSH!
Suddenly Hari raced right by them, ignoring them entirely! Seeing her doing this, both the keyblader and cat dumbfounded, didn't understand why she'd done that!? Why had she-!?
But quickly coming in front of her path, Goliath tried to block her passage as he went to attack her again with his claws! Seeing him coming though, Hari taking back her blade told him with narrowing green eyes, "Get out of my way!"
SLASH!
Instantly with his keyblade glowing with red with power, Hari sliced straight through Goliath! As this occurred, the summon's eyes widened in horror!
Riku seeing this with horror along with Cait sith who was the same, he then cried out, "Goliath!?" In seconds then, as they cried out like this, the summon lost his form and in moments, returned back to his summon gem form! As he did so, the mystical item, rushed straight to Riku's hands!
Catching him in moment's, Riku looking on as the winged keyblader flew forwards in the direction of the wrecked ship. He didn't know what the winged keyblader wanted, but he knew it couldn't be good!

Finally making it back down to the floor of the wrecked ship, as the treasure surrounded them both. Nozomi and Jim were silent, though it was clear they were both pleased with the result they'd reached by being victorious as they smiled to each other.
"Well, well..."
Distracted from looking to each other, the keyblader and Cabin Boy turned and saw that looking at them both, it was none other than Silver. With a serious look upon his face, he informed them both, "Aren't ya both the crowin' glories of the stars..." with that he took out his robotic limb and turned it into it's pistol form.
As he did so, Nozomi and Jim were quickly on high alert! Quickly taking up a protective stance with her keyblader, as Jim took his sword into his hands. They both stared at him with a defiant light in their eyes.
Seeing them both do this, Silver then clicking the pistol's hammer back into place informed them both, "And now, yer here to claim me treasure aren't ya?"
Hearing him say this, Nozomi gritting her teeth was about to answer back with her angry thoughts when-!
"Morph!?"
Suddenly standing between both the heroes and the cyborg pirate, the pink transforming creature came flying forwards from out of the female keyblader's collar. As he did so, he bubbled out anxiously between both sides. Though no-one could understand his words, it was clear that he was desperate for them all not to fight each other!
Seeing him react this way, everyone was stilled into silence. As they all were, it was clear they were all uncomfortable and none of them knew what to do then... for still between them all was-
"So there you are..."
Startled immediately everyone turned! There they saw flying above them all, was Hari with a deadly look in her eyes, she lifted up her keyblade and with a deadly look in her emerald green eyes, she asked, "What have you all done with Pete?" Hearing her ask this question, no-one said a word... for if any of them did, it was clear a horrible storm of fury would be unleashed upon them all!
