"Um so...how do we fight this thing?"
The Earth Vellumantal shot a chunk of rock at Sora, who rolled out of the way. It wacked Donald into the wall with its tail.
"Waack!"
"You need to get to its tail," Olivia explained. "Its tail is super tender, making it a weak point."
"Got it!"
"You also shouldn't get hit by its Sand Blast."
"Its what?" Sora asked, just as he got slammed in the face by a rock. "Ow!" He looked at Donald, who was being helped up by Olly. "Are you alright, Donald?"
"Yeah!"
"What about you, Goofy?"
Goofy crashed into a wall. "Gwarsh, it sure is hard to get its tail if it won't stop moving!"
"I got it!" Olly attempted to hold it still with his Fold of Life, but was slapped aside by its sharp claws.
"Brother!"
"I'm fine-"
The Earth Vellumental crashed into Olly with a headbutt, knocking the Origami King further into the wall. Cracks formed along the walls, small pieces of dirt crumbling off.
"Ouch. Are you okay, Olly?" Sora asked.
Olly fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Brother!"
"He's not dead!" Donald said angrily. "Just knocked out!"
"Gwarsh, you better make sure he's okay."
"Olly? Are you alri-Sora look out!" Olivia alerted.
Sora looked and saw the Earth Vellumental charging straight towards him. Sora jumped over its head and landed on its back as it crashed into the wall.
"Woah, woah!" He stabled himself as the Earth Vellumental pulled itself away from the wall.
"Hey, we can stun it this way!" Goofy suggested.
"Yeah! We can ram it into the wall!" Donald agreed.
"Waah!" Sora sat on its smooth shell and grabbed into the folds on its back. "Alright, let's-"
The Earth Vellumental jerked forwards. Sora pulled at the folds, the paper creasing between his fingers. He started pulling harder, the Vellumental following the direction Sora was leading it. Sora pulled the folds forwards and it picked up speed. It slammed extremely hard into the wall and Sora jumped off. Everybody crowded around the tail, attacking it with everything they had.
Olly got off the floor and cleaned the dirt off his hair. "The Vellumental...Something's not right."
Donald was smacked into a wall. "Waaak!"
"Donald!" Goofy and Sora called.
"I'll heal you! One second!" Sora began casting Curega, only to be interrupted by Olly rushing past him.
"Donald!" Olly tossed a Red Mushroom at Donald's head. "Aah! That was supposed to heal you!"
"Thanks for that!" Donald said sarcastically. Donald healed himself. "But I'm a healer for a reason!"
Sora and his group repeated the process two more times before the Vellumental was defeated.
"Odd how it was origami again..." Olivia stated.
"I didn't even fold it either," Olly added.
The Vellumental roared in defeat and fell to the ground.
"Yay! We did it!" Olivia celebrated.
Olly placed a hand on the Vellumental's forehead. "Something's wrong with him." He tested to see if it was still breathing. "He's far from defeated, I'm afraid."
"Really? He looks pretty exhausted to me. How can you tell if anything's wrong anyways?" Olivia joined his side, but he pushed her back a bit.
"There's some sort of dark presence inside of i-"
The Earth Vellumental shot to its feet and unfolded. Olly brought Olivia away. The body seemed to made of rocks, being held together by golden bands with a zig zag pattern across their surfaces.
"Um, is it supposed to look like that?" Sora asked.
"I don't know!" Olivia responded. "I've never seen the actual Vellumentals!"
The rocks shifted to water, then fire, then ice; it quickly changing shape into the different Vellumentals as it did.
"That's-that's...That's sacrilege!" Olly shouted. "Whatever that person did, it ruined the Vellumentals by fusing them all together into one!" Olly brought out his sword once more. "Sacrilege!"
He charged for the Vellumentals, but was slapped away by its Water Vellumental tail.
"Olly!" She frowned at Sora. "We need to stop this thing before it kills someone! The Vellumentals aren't acting like themselves, and this is the only way to snap them back to reality!"
"Alright!" Sora started towards it, but stopped. "Um...How do I fight this thing?"
"Figure it out!" Donald ordered.
Olly rose from the ground. "Hah...hah...That's not good. It's so much more powerful now than it was." He faced Sora. "We need to use the Vellumental's weaknesses to fight them! Olivia? Shall we dance?" He held out his hand.
She accepted it. "Sure? Seems like a weird time to do it, but okay!"
Olly pulled her closer, grabbing her other hand. "Follow what I do. We're going to summon a Magic Circle together."
"You can do that?"
"Of course!" He faced Sora. "Hey, can you guys keep it busy for a moment? This will take a lot of energy to cast so..."
"Distract the boss, don't die. Got it!" Sora gave him a thumbs-up. "Let's go, guys!"
Sora jumped up and attacked it with his Kingdom Key. It simply clacked against one of the golden bands and did nothing more.
"That didn't work." Sora resumed attempting to create even a small dent in the band, but it still did nothing. "Olly? Olivia? It's not working!"
"What? Try harder! We're almost finished!" They were twirling in a small circle, which Sora thought was cute.
Sora used his special move with Goofy, Goofy Bombarder, to try and do damage. Goofy ended up just bouncing off the bands. Everytime they tried to hit it, the bands would move to protect itself from their attacks.
"Huh?" Sora looked down and saw the floor light up beneath them. "Guys, look at that!"
It was Olivia's special Magic Circle, with Olly's emblem in the center instead of the 1,000-Fold Arms insignia. Sora landed down on the center of the Olivia on the red diamond. He ran over to the twins.
"How is this supposed to do much?"
"We can use any Vellumental now?" Olivia asked.
Olly nodded. "It's currently the Fire Vellumental, but we need to do this quickly before it changes form again. Sora, that's where you come in."
"Me?" Sora asked, pointing at himself.
Olly smiled at him. "Direct me."
"Huh?"
"I'm going to fold into the Water Vellumental. But...this is raw origami power and I haven't mastered that much creative ability yet."
"Olly, don't do that! You could hurt yourself!" Olivia grabbed his arm and shook him gently.
"If I could do it before, I can do it again. I may go into an uncontrolled form, so that's when you'll need to direct the Water Vellumental the right direction. Okay?"
"That sounds pretty unsafe," Sora agreed. "Are you sure you should do this?"
"As long as the Vellumentals don't attack anyone on our side, we should be fine."
"Why would you go all crazy?" Goofy asked. "Ya seem pretty powerful to me."
"I appreciate that, Goofy. The thing is, a piece of the Vellumentals lives inside of me. If they found out what that Ansem guy did to them, they'll go into a blind rage and attack everybody in the room. That's what happened when I folded them, so it may happen again."
"Okay!" Sora gave him the 'okay' symbol with his hand. "So um...you're really small..."
"I haven't folded yet!"
"Sorry!"
Olly floated higher and unfolded. Sora watched as he increased his paper size and started refolding himself.
"Alright, Sora!" Goofy stood a bit away from him, his shield raised over his head. "Time for a Goofy Boost!"
"Yeah!" Sora rushed over to him as quickly as he could and jumped into the shield.
Goofy forced the shield upwards, giving Sora added height to his jump. Sora started falling, but something swooped under him and stopped his fall.
"Woah there, Sora! I can't have you flattened on my watch!"
"Huh?!"
The voice was indeed Olly's, who had taken the form of a giant purple dragon with a blue underside and skin between its wings. The dragon still had Olly's crown, bangs, and angled eyes.
"Cool!"
"I appreciate that, Sora. Now let's take out that disgrace!" Olly flew forwards faster than Sora anticipated, and he clawed at Olly's folds. He panted, the heavy falls of his wings blowing Goofy, Donald, and Olivia around everywhere below.
"Are you good?"
"I'm alright, Sora."
The Vellumentals changed their form to match Olly's, and the king froze.
"Crease my corners! It knows exactly what we were doing!"
"We can still take it down!" Sora mentioned.
"You're right! Let's get this done and over with." Olly charged forwards with a twirl, forcing Sora to hold on even tighter.
"Olly! Go Olly!" Olivia cheered.
"Fold into the Earth Vellumental and blast it back up when it hits the ground!" Olly ordered.
"Got it!" She folded herself into the Earth Vellumental, not looking any different from it besides having eyes and her crown. "Go Olly! Go Sora! You can do this!"
Olly charged forwards at it a few more times and let it fall. "Now, Livi!"
She roared, and a large chunk of the floor blasted up. It slapped the Water Vellumental in the back and made it fly back up. Olivia unfolded. "There you go!"
"There! You see it?!" Olly pointed his tail to a glowing magenta orb inside the body of the Vellumental. "That must be its weak point!" Olly flew towards it again.
He stopped suddenly, blasting Sora forwards. Sora leaned towards the Vellumental, Keyblade drawn. When he came close enough, he stabbed the key through the orb.
"Yeah!" A force came from the impact, which blasted both Sora and Olly backwards. "Aah!" He crashed into the dragon and sent both of them crashing to the ground. He was lying on top of Olly when the king had changed back. "Aah! Sorry!" He scurried off of Olly.
"You're alright..." Olly looked up. "That looks like it did something! We need to keep using the Vellumentals, Sora!"
"Right!"
The Vellumental roared and melted off the bands. The dead body of the Vellumental splashed on the ground and evaporated away. The bands spun in a few quick circles around the orb and turned to the Fire Vellumental. It immediately started blasting fire all over the area.
"Water again?" Sora asked.
"But it has no Water Vellumental this time, since we killed it! That means it'll be forced to turn into a different one!"
Olly turned into the Water Vellumental once more and took flight with Sora seated atop his back. "We've got this! We just need to finish destroying the rest of the-" Olly stopped flying forwards, remaining airborne from flapping in place.
"Olly?" Sora pat the dragon's neck. "You okay there?"
Olly charged the Vellumental as it was changing to the Earth Vellumental. He clenched his jaw around the turtle's neck, crunching the rocks that made up its body.
"This must be what Olly was talking about!" Olivia warned. "He's lost control of the Vellumental's powers! You need to snap him back!"
Sora grabbed the folds on Olly's neck and forced his head back. A few rocks fell free from the Earth Vellumental, smashing into pebbles against the ground. Olly crushed the rocks in his mouth and flailed his head around in an attempt to free himself from Sora's grasp.
"Woah!" Sora's hand slipped and he had to fight to return it to the dragon's neck. "A little help here?!"
Donald casted Icega on the Vellumental. The ice traveled up it's body to its head until the entire Vellumental stopped entirely.
"Waaah!" Sora was thrown off Olly to the ground below. "Ow!"
"Sora!" Olivia tossed a mushroom at him. "Sorry I can't do much!"
"Wow! I feel better already! That mushroom did a lot!"
Sora joined Donald and Goofy in attacking the frozen Vellumental. The ice shattered, sending bits of frozen rocks with it. The bands separated, and Sora charged for it again. The pulse pushed him back again, but he was expecting it this time and was able to stay on his feet.
The bands floated up and reformed into the Ice Vellumental. Olly immediately responded by folding into the Fire Vellumental. He screeched at the imposter Vellumental and charged for it.
"We can't get you up to him while he's like that," Olivia said. "But we can't let him run around like that either! Ooh...what to do?"
"I gotcha!" Sora casted Waterga when the Vellumental's feathers lit and the flames immediately died out. The Vellumental crashed to the ground. "Now!"
Olly screeched again and charged for Sora. Sora dodged out of the way and Olly swooped back into the sky. The Vellumental died in feathers, leaving the core open. Sora stabbed it again and backed away this time.
"One more!" Olivia cheered. "We've got this!"
"Ya're doing a pretty good job, Sora."
"Thanks, Goofy!"
"Yeah, at not dying for once!" Donald snapped back.
"Donald!"
It reformed into the Ice Vellumental. Olly screeched and breathed fire onto it. It cloaked itself in ice as defence, the ice melting rather than the Vellumental being hurt. It sliced at the sky, sending ice shards flying towards Olly.
"Watch out!" Olivia tried.
Olly screeched as the ice stabbed him in the wings. He fell to the ground and returned to himself, ice shards impaled through his arms.
"Olly!" Olivia went to her brother as the Magic Circle faded away.
"Uh oh," Sora said. "There goes our Vellumentals."
"We still have magic!" Doland reminded him.
"Oh, right!"
He and Donald both casted Firega on the Vellumental, but it didn't do much.
"What the? But it worked for the others!"
"You need to...melt its ice..." Olly told them softly. "Then...you need to attack it until...it's stunned..."
"Ya heard him. We have to melt the ice first."
"Let's finish this!" Sora cheered.
