Chapter CCLXXX: The Final Battle Part VI

Crumble...

Looking down, a pale blue glass-like figure, saw another limb of theirs dissolve away into glass like shards, leaving nothing behind. There was no pain nor horror, there was barely any reaction whatsoever, instead there was just a simple utter, "Left knee and calf are gone..." Then as they looked to their continuous dissolving state, they simply remarked, "The right should soon follow."

For within the deepest depths of darkness unseen, their pale blue light shone. Trapped inside a sea of turquoise blue, they were caged within a flower bud shaped jewel.

They appeared to be floating, as all around what remained of their body, was now only the upper torso, their hands and hips, along with the remaining spoken leg. Small specks were continually being absorbed into the jewel, as it shone brighter and brighter, while it's captive's light dimmed from this horrific process.

"This is terrible!"

Hearing this voice, the figure's half closed eyes looked up and saw the presence who was speaking to them. Looking back down, they simply responded, "This is only natural... this physical shape is simply fulfilling its purpose, soon it will return to none existence as it should have done from the very beginning."

The presence didn't say anything at first, they had a look on their face that the glass figure couldn't understand. They simply stared on, as the presence moved their hand and put it to their dissolving left cheek.

"I can't believe you've lost so much already! Its even taken your ability to recognise yourself as a human hasn't it?"

"Human?" Curious at this strange term, the figure then looking down replied, "There has never been a living presence here such as that, all this thing is-"

"Don't refer to yourself as an object! I won't let you!"

Anger, that was one emotion that the dissolving figure could recognise. Looking back up to the glowing blue presence, they were quiet as they simply stared on.

"What happened to that bright and bubbly girl I knew! Can't you recall anything about yourself any more?"

"There has never been such an existence like that, this thing is merely-"

"I told you to stop that!"

HUG!

Suddenly the crumbling figure felt arms around what was their head and shoulders. As they did, they didn't respond or move. All they did was simply stare on as the presence continued to speak,

"All this time... since the beginning I've always been with you, I wanted to talk to you for so long... but I was so small, my voice could never reach you!"

"That is simply because, you are the remaining essence that should have been fully absorbed a long time ago... you only happen to be fortunate, that you were never needed to be fully taken, since you have barely much to give."

"That's cruel of you to say, don't you think?"

Looking up to them again, the figure couldn't understand the presence's expression as they looked down to them. However they looked away, clearly disinterested as they replied, "Talking is tiring... it would be simply easier to-"

"Don't you fall asleep! The last time I let that happen, you nearly lost both of your arms!"

Anger rising again in their voice, the figure didn't move. Instead they felt the presence hold onto them a little tighter. As they did, they still couldn't understand what their motivations were, why were they bothering to speak to them in the first place? For they were-

"Look just keep talking to me, alright! I want to hear your voice!"

"Talk...? Why...? There's nothing to talk about, there's nothing that would-"

"Yes there is! Come on, just tell me something, anything! Just answer some simple questions for me!"

"Such as?" The dissolving figure asked with clear disinterest.

"Your favourite colour! Somewhere you've wanted to go, for a long time! You can answer something as simple as those, can't you?"

"Colour?" The reply came in a questioning tone, the dissolving figure couldn't understand why this was even worth discussing. But after a moment, a shade appeared in their head and they simply replied, "Pink."

"Why am I not surprised... that colour would be important to you after all."

The figure couldn't think of why this would be, so they turned to look down again.

"Now come on! Answer my second question, where's somewhere you've wanted to go to, that you haven't been able to yet?"

"Somewhere...?" Then as these words were uttered, an image of tropical islands and warm sunshine, the sea... they remembered the name they'd been told, "The Destiny Islands?"

"I'm glad to hear that... you haven't completely forgotten him yet, have you?"

"Who do you-?"

SHINE!

"Ah!"

The presence with them gasped aloud, in something that looked like pain. However the figure ignored this and stated as a red light began to glow around their crystal, "The Fourth has fused with us." Then as this was stated-!

Crumble...

The figure revealed, "The right calf and leg are now gone..."

It was clear at this rate, if things kept to this pace. There would be nothing left of these poor voices within this darkness...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Looking towards the pulsating light that was above the Door of Light, Xehanort's smile continued to grace his features. For it was now only probably minutes away from finishing! The anticipation held within him was unbelievable, he was sure it was the most excited he'd been in all of his existence! He couldn't help but echo, "Any moment now!"

"Xehanort!"

"Hm?" It was then curious, he turned around and there he saw approaching from the dark heights above to land on the dust covered space before him, it was none other than the Keybladers and their companions.

However as he looked to them, his smile never wavered as he said with complete disdain, "Oh, well look who it is? The Warriors of the Keyblade."

FLASH!

In seconds everyone had their weapons on hand and at the ready! Their visors all down so he couldn't read their minds, they all looked to the evil man before them. Sora at first couldn't understand it. For the person looking at them, somehow was dressed in armour that was similar to theirs! However in a way that was chilling to him, it was white and gold in colour, with a yellow cape blowing behind him. It was too heroic looking to be on someone menacing like him!

But as he stared at him, the Keyblade master realised, "Hey! He looks exactly now like that old portrait, that was in Ansem's study!"

"Ansem?" Xehanort asked, then as he thought he remembered, "Oh yes, the wise one they called him... though not wise enough to save himself and his own people from a hideous fate." He revealed further, "Such a pitiful figure wouldn't you agree?"
Goofy looking to Donald couldn't help but say, "You know I'm gettin' a real sense of deja vu here."
"Yeah! He's just like Xemnas!" Donald answered, feeling bitter towards the very memory of that horrible Nobody!

"Xemnas?" Came the question, then as it did so Xehanort said, "Ah, yes, my Nobody... he caused you all quite a lot of trouble didn't he?"

"We're not here to talk about the past!" Then Riku demanded out of the evil man, "We've come here to stop you and take back what you stole from us all!"

"Stole from you?" Xehanort echoed, then in a mocking tone he asked, "I have no idea what you mean?"

"Yes you do!" Sora cried, with that he declared, "It was the Fragments! You stole people's Broken Hearts away, just so you could use them to create the Door of Light!"

"Fragments?" He echoed again, then deciding to play with them a little more, he asked reaching his right hand out, "You mean the ones that would help me to get it, by making this?"

SHINE!

Everyone's eyes widened as there in Xehanort's hand, revealed to them all. Was a Keyblade unlike any they had ever seen before!

With intertwining lines of many colours and gold, it was fearsome but beautiful. However looking at it, it was haunting as what warmth should have been there in the blade like all their own, it had none. For covering it, were terrible dark roses and thorns that seemed to be almost choking it of what pulsating light it had.

Mickey staring on at it with wide eyes, like everyone else asked, "That Keyblade, it's-?"
"It has had many name's given to it through the centuries, some more grandiose than others," however with a sinister knowing smile on his face, Xehanort revealed, "But the one I prefer, that is straight to the point of it's majesty, is the King-blade."

"The King-blade?" Kairi asked feeling a chill run down her spine.

"Yes, the first that was created and the first to rule over all others!" Then poising his weapon ready, he told them, "Such as yourselves, for all of you and the rest of the worlds will soon be under my eternal dominion!"

"Don't you bet on it!" Sora cried with that he ran forwards to immediately engage with him!

Worried for him though, Mickey cried out, "Sora wait!"

But it was too late and just as Sora was in reach to strike him-!

SHINE!

Around Xehanort's body emerged a yellow shining shielding light! His attack couldn't get through at all and then-!

BLAST!

"AAAGGGGHHH!"

"Sora!?" Terrified, Kairi ran to him as he was thrown back in their direction!

Riku looked on shocked as did the others! For all over Sora's body was a terrible red pulse of electricity that made him grimace and gasp for breath! Turning to look at their hateful enemy as his best friend was healed by his beloved, he saw that the shield around Xehanort crackled and glowed with a viscous red colour!

The evil man smiling at this display of power, hadn't even moved a muscle! For looking at these two pulses of power, he revealed, "The Fourth and the Fifth tend to be fierce opposites towards each other, but when their powers are combined together, they make a formidable force!"

As this settled into his mind, Riku realised, "So you can use the Fragment's in combination with each other!?"

"Oh yes!" Xehanort revealed and then as his eyes shone with delight, he added, "And I'm afraid that even if you've somehow managed to gain armours from past ghosts, they won't be enough to save you all!" With that he rushed forwards to engage them and as he did, Riku rushed at him too with Mickey following to give Sora and Kairi the time they'd need to get into the fray too!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"AAAGGGGHHH!"

"That voice!"

The dissolving figure didn't care nor move at this cry of pain, even as the presence shook their broken form, trying to get some response from them.

"Didn't you hear that!? There are others now here with us! They can help us!"

However the figure simply replied, "There's nothing to help... there's only-"

"Stop saying that! You can't-!"

"HHHAAA!"

The presence with the figure became quiet as they listened on and both heard the commotion of battle that continued beyond their captive point!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"HHHAAA!"

Running fast and furiously, towards Xehanort. Riku had his blade ready! Aiming he didn't care whether or not he came into contact with his horrible shield! For he was going to get her back! He was going to-!

SHINE!

Suddenly behind Xehanort, a white door appeared and quickly-!

SLAM!

He disappeared straight into it! Shocked at this as he landed on the floor it was then-!

SHINE! SHINE! SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!

SHINE!SHINE!SHINE! SHINE! SHINE!

All around the battlefield ten tall white doors appeared and-!

"Hastazeo!"

Riku turned and there he saw charging at him, glowing with the terrifying glow of the empowering haste spell was Xehanort and-!

SLASH!

"Agh!"

He was cut into by the terrible blade before he could move-!

SLASH!

"Agh!"

He was cut into again from another direction and-!

SLASH!

"Urgh!" Determined not to cry out again, Riku then saw what the Master of Darkness's ploy was! He was using Doors of Time to rapidly run in and out from any direction necessary! It was almost exactly like his abilities when he used to go into Dark Mode! This was on a whole other level! But-!

CLASH!

This time though he was ready and his own blade immediately made contact with Xehanort's King-Blade! He saw the evil man look at him with a joyous manic look on his face, as he was clearly enjoying his struggle as their weapons grated against each other!

Riku could feel his strength was wavering! Xehanort was on a whole other level! More than they'd ever encountered before! He'd need a moment to recover, for if he got hit again he'd-!

"Holy!"

Mickey sent out an attack to thwart Xehanort but again he moved fast and out of the way! Escaping into one of the Doors of Time! Shocked at this show of speed, he cried out, "Where'd he-!"

"Looking for me?"

Riku with horror then saw his terrible enemy was right behind him, his blade poised over his helpless form!

"Your majesty!" Riku cried out, but before he could move-!

"THUNDAGA!"

Suddenly coming in the nick of time, Donald came casting his powerful spell into the air, distracting the menacing man long enough for Mickey to get away, but-!

"BLIZZAZEO!"

Xehanort cast and quickly underneath the white duck a slippery surface emerged and-!

"Agh!"

He fell forwards and was carried away by the treacherous ice spell as it covered the field with its cold!

"Here I come!"

Then suddenly coming riding upon the icy path that he had made, was Goofy who quickly picked up Donald and placed him on his ride with him!

"Thanks Goofy!" The white duck told his pal!

Goofy smiled and gave him a thumbs up, before he looked up above and told him, "Let's go Donald!"

They were both ready and immediately they leaped up into the air! Goofy was the first to launch his attack, "Tornado!" With that he took off, spinning into the air!

Then quickly as he flew, Donald cried out his own spell to aid him, "Aeroga!" With that the wind spell and his pal's spinning attack were combined as one!

As the multiple hits struck Xehanort, he didn't move a muscle though and simply smiled on and uttered, "How adorable!" Then-!

"Fire Blaster!"

BLAST!

"YYYEEEOOOWWW!"

Seeing his friend being fired away by this terrible power, Donald went to run to him when-!

SLASH!

"Aagghh!"

He too was struck with a burning red strike! As he lay next to his pal, grimacing from the pain. He opened his eyes to see-!

FLASH!

Xehanort glow with terrible burning dark power! He was going to unleash something horrible on them! They didn't have the time to get away! To-!

"FIRAGA!"

Distracted by this unexpected blow, Xehanort turned and there he saw, fast approaching dressed in her pink armour with her Keyblade ready. It was-!

"Kairi!?" "Kairi!?"

Donald and Goofy cried out, amazed but worried! However running she told them, "Helps on the way!" She didn't elaborate though as-!

SLASH!

She launched herself straight into the air and started to engage with Xehanort! Doing her best to land her own blows on him!

Donald and Goofy couldn't believe it! Kairi was stepping in to-!

"Guys!"

Distracted it was then that Sora made his way over to them, as he did he asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Just about!" However aching Goofy admitted, "Though got a few bumps!"

Nodding Donald replied, "Yeah same!"

Sora was pleased and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're both okay!" Then with his hand out to them, he said, "C'mon! Lets combine our power together!"

There was no question or hesitation though, as both his friends reached their hands out to him and as the three took hold of each other-!

GLOW!

Their powers began to combine, as a golden yellow light filled the air!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Cutting into him, empowered by the power of Aqua's armour, Kairi concentrating all her attack into each blow, cried out, "Take this!" Then as she turned glowing all over with white power. She felt a new power be born and released it, "Light Surge!"

BLAST!

With that Xehanort was hit with the power of light as it surged through him! He seemed to grimace and feeling empowered, Kairi went to strike him again crying out, "How'd you like that!?"

"Very much little princess!" Xehanort said as his smile swiftly returned, then as he looked at her shocked face, he told her, "But you still lack any real power!"

Kairi didn't know what to think or do then! But before she could move-!

GLOW!

Suddenly Xehanort's entire body began to glow with intense orange light and as it did, he said grinning, "Let me show you true strength!" With that he moved his King-blade back and-!

STRIKE!

"AGH!"

She was sent flying backwards by a terrible empowering orange blow! It hurt all over! But before she could hit the ground-!

"Kairi!?"

GRAB!

Quickly coming to her aid, Sora caught her in his arms!

As she felt his familiar strength all around her, she opened her eyes and looking to him. She saw he was glowing with yellow light, as his armour even turned to that same bright hue, as gold sparkles glowed all around him! Confused she asked, "Are you-?"

"I'm in Master Form," He explained, then he told her, "I can guard better in the air like this and with some added strength."

"I see!" She smiled, but before they could have a longer moment together-!

"What's wrong?"

Xehanort arrived floating over them, while glowing still with that terrible ominous orange light! As he did, Sora and Kairi both lost their smiles as Xehanort further asked in mockery, "You've had enough?"

"Not even close!" He told the evil master of Darkness! Then gently he lowered Kairi down onto the floor and told her, "Just recover okay?"

She nodded and then replied, "You just hit him harder for me!"
"You got it!" He replied with a grin, then quickly he ran and-!

SHINE! SHINE!

He called forth his two favourite Keyblades, the Oathkeeper and Oblivion! Then as he held them shining with power-!

SWOOSH!

He leaped into the air and-!

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Keyblader and Master of Darkness exchanged blow after blow! As one desperately tried to strike into the other!

Seeing them both go at it, Kairi lifted herself up! She was not going to sit back and be helpless again! She had to do something to help! To-!

"Kairi!"

It was then turning around, that she saw, "Your majesty!"

For there running to her aid, it was none other than King Mickey! As he did he looked to her worried, as he asked, "Are ya doin' alright? You're not hurting badly are ya?"

As this question was put to her, Kairi had to admit with a slight grimace as she moved, " A bit!" However she added, "But this armour's really helped out! Without it I would have-!"

"HHHAAA!"

It was then she turned as did Mickey, and there they saw that quickly joining the assault against Xehanort, it was Riku! His Keyblade drawn and ready, as he raced into the air, he'd called upon his own dark power and cried out,

"Dark Break!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

With that he sent Xehanort flying further and further into the air! Hitting him with everything he had, with Sora aiding him. He told him, "You're going to pay! You psychopath!"

To which as the attack ended, Xehanort asked, "I a psychopath?" Then as he looked down to them both, he said, "How sweetly observant!"

Looking at him, as he hovered in the air glowing all over with orange and red power! They could sense something horrible was coming! They had to stop him before he unleashed this attack!

"Riku, let's go!" Sora cried!
"Right!" With that they both flew up to deal out more of their fury upon him when-!

SHINE!

His power had reached its peak! He was going to unleash it!

Mickey seeing what was happening after helping Kairi in her recovery cried out, "This is bad!" Mickey cried out! Then calling his Keyblade back out, he ran forwards to stop the evil man!

"Mickey!" Seeing him go and seeing what was about to happen to her friends, she knew she had to do something too! But what!? As she got up and ran after him, her mind raced! What could she do to help! What would-!

GLOW!

Then suddenly all around her, her armour began to glow with power! What was it? She didn't have the time to voice this question. Instead she felt something pulse inside her, it was guiding her and as she aimed her weapon up and concentrated. She felt it peak as its power came bursting forth from its key end, she cried out,

"Meteor Shower!"

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

Suddenly from her Keyblade, many golden yellow burning meteors emerged and quickly raced forwards towards their intended target!

Everyone looking back couldn't believe it! How did Kairi manage to-!

Xehanort gazing on though, realised what had happened and asked, "So you've managed to tap into it, have you?" But he had no time to say anything else as-!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As they all struck him with golden fiery light!

Seeing this happen, Sora was amazed! Then as he looked on, suddenly he felt-!

GLOW!

His armour began to glow with power too! As it did bathing him in a white-green light, with his still golden hue, he suddenly knew what to do! Gripping his Keyblades, he rushed towards Xehanort's stunned form and moving like the wind itself his weapons spun around him rapidly as they struck into Xehanort over and over again!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Seeing Sora do this, Riku was quiet with amazement. But then-!

GLOW!

The power of his armour was activated too! As it began to shine with white light, as it did so, he rushed forwards and joining Sora's joint attack. Long white ethereal swords appeared all around him and joined in the attack against Xehanort! As he unleashed blow after blow against the evil man with this incredible power of light!

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!

Then as both of their powers reached their climax! Both Sora and Riku glowed with their mysterious powers and cried out their techniques,

"CYCLONE STORM!"

"DIVINE WRATH!"

SHINE!

With that Xehanort was bathed in the combined power of wind and light, that was so blinding it was awe inspiring to all who could witness it!

Mickey and Kairi were silent in amazement! Then quickly coming back to their sides, their blades once more poised and ready were Sora and Riku! Then as they arrived-!

GLOW! GLOW!

Both Donald and Goofy reappeared! The two of them ready now to unleash more upon their foe!

Kairi seeing them, couldn't help but say, "You guys were incredible!"

"Thanks!" But Sora had to admit looking to her, "But you're the one that lit the light Kairi!" Then as she looked puzzled, he explained, "When you unleashed the attack before, it triggered something in this armour I'm wearing!"

"Yeah same!" Riku agreed then looking to Kairi he added, "You really helped us there, thanks!"

Hearing all this praise, Kairi felt her eyes water under her visor. So pleased she'd been able to assist finally. Chocking up a little she told them, "It's...no problem!"

Everyone smiled pleased at this moment of victory but-!

"You all have such soft hearts, don't you?"

On guard in seconds, everyone had their Keyblades ready as they saw Xehanort emerge from the cloud of dust that had rose up, when he impacted the ground.

As he stepped forwards with the King-blade still in hand, looking at them all quietly. They didn't know what he'd do next! Then they heard him say, with a hand under his chin in thought, "It's almost like I'm looking at an image from the past."

Puzzled by these words, Sora asked, "The Past?"

"Yes," Then as he gazed at them all with his terrible burning orange eyes, he mused with a smile, "You all resemble the Chaser Knights, who had been appointed to stop me, Aqua, Ventus and finally his majesty."

Mickey hearing these words, remembered when he'd encountered the apparition of Aqua in the casket chamber and asked, "Yer talking about the ancient king who ruled during the Keyblade Wars aren't ya?"

"Correct," Xehanort admitted. Then as he looked at them all, he said as he observed the armours which made the memories come flowing back, "He was a foolish man, so hopeful like Ansem the Wise, he wanted to believe in a world where everyone could be connected and have strength, whilst doing everything to believe in the hearts of others."
Riku hearing this was not in the mood to hear long speeches like Xemnas nor his Heartless self used to do, so asked, "And let me guess, you don't share the same sentiments?"
"Of course not," Xehanort replied. Then as he said this-!

SWIRL! SWIRL! SWIRL! SWIRL!

The powers of darkness, grew out of him violently as countless menacing tendrils and they did, it chilled everyone to the core! What was causing this? What-!

"For I learned in all my time, there is no point in believing in others!" With that a look of anger began to grow as he thought of that foolish ruler, "The only force you can believe in, is yourself!"

Mickey hearing this could sense something really bad was coming so warned everyone, "Get ready fella's! He's about to move!"

Everyone gripped their Keyblades tightly and as they did, it was then Xehanort lifted his arm up and-!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly at his beckoning call, using a terrible purple power, many shards of glass all came together and behind his back they formed-!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Long, powerful and dangerous, fragmented wings that shone eerily from the light, that was reflected off of the Door of Light!

As they stared at these powerful and dangerous things, none of them could believe it! Why was he-!

GLOW! GLOW!

Then on either side of Xehanort's feet by his ankles, a pair of white wings formed! As they did, seeing their radiance Riku felt a painful surge in heart, as it was a sight he knew! He couldn't help but say, "Those wings, they're-!"

"Hmmm?" Xehanort uttered, losing his anger for a moment. Becoming curious he asked, "So? You still recognise these, the power of the Seventh Fragment?"

Riku became agitated remembering those words his enemy had uttered when he'd lost her, tightening his grip on his Keyblade. He demanded, "Where is she!? I want you to-!"

TAP! TAP! TAP!

Puzzled, Riku then saw him tap a particular jewel that was on his golden and white armour. A blue one that was upon his left hand, it was turquoise blue, but its light was dying and it barely had much life left to it.

Seeing this and realising that's where he'd absorbed her to! Riku's emotions got the better of him and-!

"Riku!?"

He ignored the cries of his friends! Running he said enraged, "Give her back to me!"

Xehanort only smiled though and-!

KICK!

"AGH!"

Striking him back, with a powerful spinning kick from one of his winged feet that was empowered with orange light, he smirked as Riku struck into the floor.

As he winced getting up and shaking with rage, Xehanort told him, "You shouldn't be so upset, after all, you're the one who gave her to me!" Then to make it hurt more, he added, "Well your body did at least, you were so easy to use! With a hole left in your heart, it was simple enough to let a Heartless posses you, so you would gift me what is rightfully mine!"

Hearing what it was, that he'd done to him that made him do that terrible past act! Riku bristled with rage, as he told him, "I'll never forgive you! Soon I'll-!"
"But you know," Interrupting him and completely ignoring him, Xehanort looking at the white wings on his feet decided, "These wings are a little bit too angelic for my taste!" With that he concentrated and-!

VOOM! VOOM!

Suddenly those same wings lost their white colour and quickly became black as night! Then the feathered look they had was wiped out too, as they turned into bat like appendages.

Seeing him turn their once pristine shapes into these hideous forms, Riku couldn't stand this! This abuse of all this power was just too-!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Then Xehanort's glass wings began to beat with ferocious and dangerous combined dark power! As they did and the Keybladers looked to him with fear in their eyes, they saw-!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

More glass shards appear! They turned into something like long and dangerous swords, that were ready to cut and rip them all to pieces!

Staring at this haunting sight, they then heard the monstrous man declare, "Now, I will start breaking all your hearts using the power of the Seventh Fragment and the others, you all treasure so much! Along with the powers of the dead Chasers stolen ally, Terra!"
