Chapter 88

[Play KH3 OST Sora Meets Mike and Sully -cutscene-]

The two days that Sora had been on House arrest with Izuku and Katsuki were...dull. As uneventful as those days were to the trio, there were plenty of things to keep them occupied. Such things were, cleaning the common area. Sora cleaning up a mess made by Minoru. Cleaning up both the restroom and bathing areas when the class was at school. Sora cleaning up another mess made by Mineta when the class got home. Taking out the trash. That pervert is absolutely doing this on purpose, because this is the third time on the first day that Minoru made a mess for Sora to clean.

Now there was homework for the class to do, but apparently the group was given explicit orders by Aizawa to not tell them anything about the classes or the assignments, much to Midoriya's dismay. They couldn't even talk about their day to the boys, to Sora's slight disappointment. Not even about the meeting that all the classes had at the start of their first day on house arrest, or any of the subjects that were brought up at said meeting. Though Sora did manage to hear Kyouka, Toru and Mashirao talk about a 'Hero Work Studies' which the Keyblade wielder remembered Mirio talked to him about before. "So that's what they talked about." Sora muttered to himself. "I guess it's going to be available to us now? Maybe after my house arrest is done, I could talk to Mirio about Sir letting him do a Work Study with his agency." He thought about it. "If I come back here after the day, I could do some training against Vanitas before resting. Maybe." He was snapped out of his train of thought when Tenya expressed his disappointment at the trio, and he went back to cleaning for the rest of the day.

Day two was basically a rinse and repeat of day one, with the regular cleaning of the Dormitory, and Sora cleaning up even more of Mineta's messes that the purple pervert most likely left for him, as payback for the Keyblade wielder constantly stopping him from doing something inappropriate with the girls. Though there was one weird highlight where Izuku told Sora about a guy whose face was on the floor, then on the wall, who kept calling him a problem child apparently, which confused the both of them greatly. Were they called out for causing trouble, and the boys weren't told about it? The Keyblade wielder is gonna need to ask about that tomorrow morning, though the night went by very fast, as the cleaning was very easy with three people, so after Sora did his usual message to his friends, he went to bed and prepared for class.

[Play KH3 OST Little Lovely Moments]

When the morning of day three came, Sora had a written apology in his hands and he turned it in to Mr. Aizawa, who read it and accepted the apology, allowing Sora to go to his classes with the other students, some of whom were happy to see him again, while others felt bad that they still weren't allowed to fill him in on any subjects to help him catch up. The Keyblade wielder assured them that he would catch up in no time, though he failed to mention that he already knew what the Work Studies were about, thanks to a Third Year friend of his explaining it to him.

When homeroom started, it played out much like a normal day would, though Aizawa did call Sora out near the end of it. "Oh, and Sora, even though you've finished your house arrest, don't think that means you're in the clear. This is far from the first time you've been in trouble. If you want to truly be in the clear, then I expect you to be a model student, like I told you and the entire class, back when you moved into the dorms."

"Oh...uh, yes sir." The Keyblade wielder responded to that, understanding what Aizawa was talking about.

After that, the remaining classes played out as normal, with Sora managing to somewhat get by, though he did need some help from Momo, who was happy to assist him when she could. The convenience of the boy's seat being right behind 1-A's smartest student's seat, as well as having said smartest student as a friend. English was not much of a problem for him, nor was Modern Literature. Math was a bit of an issue, but nothing that Yaoyorozu couldn't help him out with. Art and History was a bit of a mixed bag, but Sora could mostly get by, even with Midnight's flirtatious teases during that period.

[Silence]

Of course, when the Hero course started, Sora and the gang were directed over to Gym Gamma, where the students would continue to train their powers and maybe come up with more Ultimate Moves, if they're not too busy refining the ones they already made. Currently, Sora was just doing some more practice with his Chain Attacks, until he ended up thinking about wanting to make another Ultimate Combo with someone for the last few minutes of their scheduled time in here. The question was, who should he make one with now? Denki and Mina already have one with him. And while Shoto does have one too, it was only with one half of his powers. But at the same time, he didn't want to bother Todoroki about that right now, as the young prodigy was still getting over his failure at the licensing exam, although in a healthy way that didn't require Sora talking to him.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Professor Aizawa Theme]

He looked around to see who he could try to work with. Fumikage was the first one he saw, but considering that Tokoyami's quirk works better in the dark, and all of Sora's magic or enhanced attacks, that he could control at least, were usually bright, or could probably shine just enough to hamper Dark Shadow, so that's a no go for now. At least, they wouldn't be able to do it during the day.

He took another glance and saw Momo and the Keyblade wielder pondered for a bit. They did make that improvised team attack during the Heartless assault at U.S.J. way back when. But the two of them really just did what Sora did with Jack Sparrow, so it wasn't exactly unique to them alone. They probably could come up with a unique Ultimate Combo, but the boy had already had Yaoyorozu help him so much already. He'll ask her another time.

He glanced elsewhere and then Tsuyu came into view. He thought about what the pair of them could do together, but couldn't think of anything on the spot. She's not fast enough to do anything with Sora's flowmotion, and Iida already had that covered with his Ultimate Combo. She doesn't have any elemental based power, like now most of the others he's made Ultimate Combos with do. The only thing these two could do that the others couldn't was stay underwater for very long periods of time. But there's no large body of water for the pair to try anything like that. Maybe another time.

He turned and then saw Ochako. Currently he...could probably do something with her. The question is, what could that something be? Her quirk lets her turn off the gravity on an object, and Sora could easily interact with said objects, but how could that be made into a move unique to the two of them? He could use his chain to latch onto and throw the objects at enemies? No, Asui and Sero could do that with her, so it's not unique. He could use his flowmotion to traverse on the objects and attack anybody who's caught in between them? No, Izuku could probably mimic that with Full Cowling. Take her to people and make them float and incapacitate them that way? No, Iida could do that with her. Then, it hit him. From what he remembered, nobody has been able to control where they go, once she makes contact with them. Nobody, except Sora. Not only that, but he alone could do all of those things he previously mentioned, whereas others could only do one of those things. He now had an idea.

[Silence]

As Uraraka was in the process of making a few dozen concrete chunks float around her, she heard Sora's voice call out to her. "Hey, Ochako!" The girl turned to see the Keyblade wielder approaching her.

Seeing him come towards her, she released her quirk before acknowledging him. "Oh. Hey Sora. What's up?" She said, as he reached her position.

"I was wondering if you wanted to try and make an Ultimate Combo with me." The Keyblade wielder told her.

The first reaction she had to that was excitement, as stars formed in her eyes. "An Ultimate Combo for you and me?!" Then her reaction changed to confusion. "Wait, but what would that even look like?"

"I think I've got an idea, if you want to hear me out." Sora offered.

"Okay then. Let's hear it." Uraraka was willing to listen. So the Keyblade wielder explained his idea to her.

After explaining his plan to Ochako, and then getting Ectoplasm to make a few clones for the pair to try this out on, the two were ready to execute this new potential Ultimate Combo, while a few students within eye range of them watched out of curiosity to see what they came up with.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Jet Set Run]

The pair of them first bumped fists, before holding hands Sora's flowmotion surrounded the pair of them, while Uraraka had used her quirk on the two of them to make them both float. For a brief moment, Sora was reminded of himself and Kairi when they fought against Xehanort together that one time. They were even in the same pose the two Keyblade wielder's were in when they combined their powers, all that was missing was a pair of wings at this point.

After that brief flash of memory, Sora snapped himself back to reality and used his flowmotion to blitz towards one of the Ectoplasm clones, while Ochako extended her hand out. The speed was very impressive as the Keyblade wielder was moving much faster than he normally could with flowmotion. It wasn't as fast as he and Iida's Recipro Flow, but it was still at least twice as fast as he normally was, thanks to him not having any weight at the moment.

Uraraka made contact with the Ectoplasm clone and it began to float, but not before seeing the pair of young Heroes almost instantly tag another clone, then another, and another, and then another, alongside multiple concrete slabs that could serve as good footings for someone of Sora's size. The clones could see what the idea these two had in mind was, and were admittedly impressed with this teamwork.

The pair then reached the center of the area where everything that was floating was, and Sora casted Aero to make all the floating objects and clones spiral around near uncontrollably, before releasing Ochako from his flowmotion, and blitzing towards the windy cyclone, summoning the Kingdom Key and going right for one of the clones, striking it hard, and making it lose whatever balance it had in the air. He then landed on one of the concrete slabs before blitzing towards another clone and doing the same thing. He repeated this action over and over, striking all the clones repeatedly until they were all completely disoriented.

At that point, the Aero spell reached its climax and dispersed, sending the clones and concrete slabs flying all around, until Sora spun his Keyblade in reverse grip and summoned his chain, latching onto one of the slabs and pulling back to him. He placed his feet on the slab and then used his chain to latch, bind, then pull each clone that was flying around towards him, bringing them back to him and letting them hit the concrete slab that he was using at a platform.

Once all the clones were in the same spot, he did the same thing to the rest of the slabs, pulling them towards the clones and slamming them with the slabs hard enough to break them to bits, but since their weight was gone, the force of the attacks weren't fatal, though they would still hurt. As the last of the slabs were dealt with, Sora wrapped all of the ectoplasm clones together in his chain, used his flowmotion to move himself back to the currently floating Ochako and spoke up. "Now release!"

Ochako placed the tips of her fingers together, and the ectoplasm clones fell towards the ground, but were stopped just before they impacted the surface, being held up by Sora's chains on the Kingdom Key, while he and Uraraka were still floating, thanks to the Keyblade wielder's flowmotion.

[Silence]

The pair then descended to the ground, landing softly, before The Keyblade wielder let go of his bubbly teammate and tugged on the chain to make sure it held. When the chain held firm, Sora spoke up. "Oh yeah. That's a cool Ultimate Combo."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Bright and Cheerfully]

"You bet it was!" Ochako cheered. "What should we call that?"

"Hmm. Good question." The Keyblade wielder pondered. "It should definitely have gravity in the name, since gravity was the whole gimmick of that combo. But what else can describe it?"

"Huh..." Uraraka pondered as well. "Well, it is a rushdown move, so maybe something like Gravity Rush?"

"Maybe Zero Gravity Rush." Sora proposed. "I mean, you turn off the gravity on people when we rush them down. That sounds a little generic, now that I think about it though."

"True." Ochako agreed with that. "Maybe...oh! How about Orbital Strike? The wind you summon makes everything circle around, like how objects circle around a planet's orbit, and since you pull them back after the wind blows them away, it's like their returning to orbit."

"Ooh. I like that. Orbital Strike." The Keyblade wielder repeated the name and it really rolled off the tongue for him. "Yeah, I really like that. Let's go with that."

"Sweet!" Uraraka was glad to hear that her proposed name was given the go ahead.

After that, the training went on as normal. Though Sora's Aero magic did not get any upgrade from doing that Ultimate Combo, he still could practice his Blizzara, Thundara and Watera spells to keep him preoccupied.

[Silence]

Once their time was up, the students left Gym Gamma and went to the locker rooms to change. During that time, Sora approached his class rep. "Hey, Tenya. Do you have any plans after school today?"

"Not at the moment, no." Iida answered. "Why do you ask?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to do that training we talked about on your birthday." Sora reminded him. "You know, the one in the datascape."

"Oh! You wish to try your hand at bringing a team along to help improve your training regiment!" Tenya realized. "It could also help the other students who join you improve their combat capabilities as well! I would be delighted to join you!"

"Sweet!" The Keyblade wielder gave a thumbs up.

"Wait, training regiment? Combat capabilities?" Kirishima repeated, being within ear range of that. "Is that what you've been doing after school every other day, Sora?"

"Yeah. I ask Moogle to fire up the datascape and let me fight against a data copy of Vanitas." Sora explained.

[Play KH DDD OST Distant From You]

That made all the boys present stop what they were doing and look at the Keyblade wielder. "You do what?!" "Vanitas?!" "Every other day?!" "What the heck?!" "Huh?!" the boys clamored.

Sora winced from the loud clamoring, then saw Iida shout to the class to get them in order. "Everyone, calm down! He'll explain to you all why he's doing this!"

Once the boys quieted down, the Keyblade wielder spoke. "Thanks Tenya. So, yeah. I fight a data replica of Vanitas, updated to have all the moves he used against me at Kamino Ward. He's also stronger than when I fought him."

"Why would you subject yourself to that?" Mashirao questioned.

"Because we all know that Vanitas will come after me again." Sora pointed out. "Heck, I'm pretty sure that Vanitas hates me, more than we all hate Villains. He'll jump at the chance to fight and beat me to the ground again. And since we have licenses and we'll be able to go out on the field and help people like Pros do during the Work Studies, it'd be best to be prepared for when, not if, when he comes for me again."

It was a much of a bitter pill to swallow for the rest of the boys, as it was for Iida when he first heard it. Though a few of them were wondering how Sora knew about the Work Studies, when he wasn't present when Nezu mentioned them, or when Aizawa explained them, the boys focused on the main topic of Sora actually making a good point in why he would repeatedly fight the Villain who thrashed him around and nearly killed him.

Kaminari then spoke up. "Well, how much progress have you made?"

"Not much. I can land a few hits on Vanitas, but after that, he thrashes me around until I get pulled out of the datascape by Moogle." Sora stated.

"That just sounds horrible." Minoru commented.

"Well, Tenya thought that if I brought a team with me, then there would be a better chance to fight him off." The Keyblade wielder said. "Kind of like how you guys went up against the Data Organization members in pairs during the practicals before the training camp."

"Well, that would be a logical choice..." Mezo admitted.

"But what the heck are we gonna do to make a difference?" Rikido questioned.

"Strength in numbers is one thing, but we all saw Vanitas make some of the best Pro Heroes struggle when Sora was at his mercy." Fumikage pointed out.

"Yeah, but Vanitas constantly looked down on them, and he thought nothing of the guys who came to rescue me, which made him lower his guard every time, and he paid for it." Sora rebutted.

"I guess that would be a weakness of his." Hanta agreed.

"Yeah, but it's only one that can be exploited once, and that guy seems pretty quick to recover." Kirishima said.

"It's no question that Vanitas is one of the more powerful members of the League." Shoto stated.

"All the more reason to train against this data recreation and assist Sora with this challenge." Tenya stated.

"A few of us would only get in the way though." Yuga said, which actually surprised some of the guys. "As much as I'd like to say that I could help, Vanitas is too fast for me to strike with my quirk, and if my stomach acts up after a few missed shots, then I'd just be dead weight."

Koji seemed to agree with that ideology, signing that his control over animals wouldn't help against a guy who could blast them all away with a single swipe of his Keyblade.

"Getting up close is honestly suicide without any protection." Sato agreed as well.

"And my tape won't do any good if he can just warp away with a portal, or burn or freeze it off with the elements he summons." Sero added.

[Silence]

"Oh, come on guys!" Ejiro wasn't thrilled at some of his classmates not willing to try. "At least give it a shot, before throwing in the towel."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Vengeance]

"Wait, are you saying you're gonna do it with me?" Sora realized.

"Yeah I will." Kirishima confirmed. "There's no way that I'd pass up a chance to get back at the guy who messed with one of my friends. And besides, if Vanitas comes after you, then the rest of us might run into him during that time he does. Best to be ready for that."

"Yeah." Kaminari spoke up next. "He might be super strong, but he's gonna learn the hard way that he messed with the wrong people."

"You said that you wanted us to get stronger with you, Sora." Todoroki said. "And I told you that I would get strong enough to fight alongside you. Training like this would most certainly help me achieve that goal."

"It'll certainly be a difficult hurdle to get over." Shoji commented, willing to join.

"But that's what Heroes are meant to contend with." Tokoyami replied.

"We can't call ourselves Heroes if we don't face danger." Ojiro spoke up.

"Ugh. This is a dumb idea, but if we do beat him, I'd be swimming in hot babes, thankful for saving them from a monster like him." Mineta commented. "To do that, I'd need to know how he fights and how to fight back."

"You guys." Sora actually felt inspired by how many of his classmates were willing to help and train with him.

"Well, if the others are on board, then I can't refuse." Hanta spoke up next.

"Heck, with all of us together, we could probably beat him no problem." Rikido commented, with Koda nodding to that.

"...I can't let the rest of the class outshine me again. Otherwise my namesake would be just an empty title." Aoyama conceded, and joined the rest of the boys.

"All of you..." Even Iida was surprised, before he regained his composure and roused up the class. "Very well! Then after we rest at the Dormitory, we'll all accompany Sora to his training at the Datascape and learn how to fight against Vanitas, together!"

"Yeah!" All of the boys, minus Shoto and Fumikage, cheered out.

"We should probably include the girls in this too." Mashirao pointed out. "I'm sure they'd want to help out too."

"Yeah." Ejiro agreed. "We shouldn't hog this to ourselves."

"I'll pass this information on to Yaoyorozu, and let her explain our plan to our female classmates. Should they decide to accompany us, we will gladly accept their assistance."

"I doubt any of them will say no." Rikido pointed out.

"Yeah. They're all friends with Sora too. Enough to let him sleep with them at the campgrounds." Denki remembered that.

"Don't remind me of that." Mineta said with a tone of jealousy in his voice.

Meanwhile, in the girls side of the locker room, Kyouka had her earphone jack in the wall, listening in on the conversation ever since she heard the clamoring before Sora's explanation. She had filled in the girls on what the boys' plan was and all of them were fired up. "There's no way we'd ever say no to that." Mina spoke up. "Not after all, Sora has done for us."

"Yeah. Even if we can only help a little, it'll still make a big difference in the long run." Toru stated.

"Sora said to me that he had faith that we could all get stronger with him." Momo spoke up. "I will make certain that his faith was well placed in us."

"It'll catch Vanitas by surprise too, when he realizes that we know how to fight against him." Tsuyu pointed out.

"And in that time he's confused, we'll take him down." Ochako agreed with that.

"Then I guess we're all gonna join the boys in this training, after school?" Kyouka accurately guessed, seeing the other girls nod in unison.

Once all of the students had finished getting dressed into their school uniforms and leaving the locker rooms, Yaoyorozu had approached Iida and explained how the girls had heard about what the boys were planning to do, and were also willing to join them in Sora's training. As the entire class was ready to train together after school, the Keyblade wielder made a point in mentioning that the class should probably go back to the dorms to rest first, and also to have some time to prepare for the training. Agreeing with that logic, the class decided to take a quick detour back to their Dormitory.

[Silence]

Once the school day was over, Class 1-A made their way back to the dorms. Upon entering the common area, they saw Izuku and Katsuki, who Sora decided to greet. "Hey guys. How was your day?"

"Oh, well, cleaning, though there was an odd highlight today." Midoriya stated. Before he could elaborate though, Bakugo spoke up next.

"Rock face!" The explosive student called out Koda. "Check up on your pet. He got out earlier and he stopped moving once we caught him. At least until we put him back in your room."

That comment got Koji to worry. He accidentally left the door to his room open again and his pet rabbit got out again. The little guy gave these two some trouble too by the sounds of it, which made the animal lover worry more. He rushed up the stairs, with Izuku and Katsuki following him. Sora decided to go with too. "Uh oh. Hope the little guy's okay."

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Can't Look in the Eyes of Serenity]

Once the four of them reached the third floor, Koji reached his door and called for his pet rabbit. "L-Little Yuwai." Upon hearing the boy's voice, Yuwai, who was eating the remains of a banana at the time, rushed over to him and leapt into the boy's arms, happy to see his owner back home. Koda checked on the rabbit until he was sure that nothing was wrong with him before sighing in relief.

"Well, is Little Yuwai okay?" Midoriya asked. To which Koji nodded in confirmation. "Thank goodness. The little guy just went limp before, so we kind of weren't sure."

"Maybe he got exhausted from you guys chasing him?" Sora guessed.

"No. He outpaced us the entire time." Izuku told the Keyblade wielder. "We had to use a banana to distract him."

"He briefly froze from shock then." Bakugo correctly assumed, before turning to the pet owner. "He's fine, great! Next time, try giving a damn about your animal!" He then stomped away to continue cleaning.

"I..." Sora then sighed. "He's never gonna sugarcoat his words, is he."

"I'm pretty sure that was him sugarcoating. Little Yuwai was pretty clever though. I was blown away when I realized he was using the elevator." Midoriya commented before he remembered something. "Oh, right! We're collecting everyone's trash, so just leave yours outside your door, okay?"

"Hold on, go back." Sora spoke up as the three went to the elevator with Yuwai in Koda's arms. "You're saying that he..." He pointed to the rabbit. "...used this to give you guys the runaround?" When Izuku nodded, The Keyblade wielder was just amazed. "That is just...wow. How did he learn to use the elevator?"

"Maybe he saw Koda use it and figured it out?" Midoriya guessed.

"That is one smart rabbit." Sora complimented Yuwai, before the trio took the elevator back to the first floor.

Once on the first floor, Izuku began to talk to the other students about how he was collecting trash, and requested them to leave theirs outside their rooms. During this time, Denki approached Koji. "Didja escape again, Little Yuwai? You're one slick customer." He said, remembering when Yuwai ran around during the time that the class thought that the dorms were haunted on that stormy night.

"I guess you forgot to shut your door tight?" Mashirao correctly assumed.

"It's kind of hilarious to imagine though." Kaminari spoke again.

"Imagine what, exactly?" Ojiro questioned.

"Those two, chasing around this little guy the whole day." Denki referred to Izuku and Katsuki. "I bet they were arguing the whole time."

Sora couldn't help but chuckle at that, while Mashirao awkwardly smiled. "Yeah...I can definitely picture that."

Koda winced at that, but he wasn't allowed to dote on that, as Yuwai seemed to sense his master's stress and began squeaking and grunting, as if...he was trying to talk to and comfort the soft spoken boy.

"Hmm? Why's Little Yuwai squeaking and grunting?" Kaminari wondered.

"Aww. How cute is that?" Ojiro commented.

The Keyblade wielder was the only one who noticed that Yuwai was trying to comfort his owner, and smiled. "I think he felt your stress and wanted to calm you down, Koji. You two are really close."

Koda's stress and partial guilt seemed to fade away upon hearing that. And when Yuwai stopped squeaking and grunting, the soft spoken boy spoke to his pet. "Little Yuwai, do you want to play outside?"

"Should be okay to let him loose in the courtyard, right?" Mashirao told him.

"Getting used to your new dirty job?" Minoru teased Katsuki. "Might as well give up on Hero stuff and shoot for world's number two janitor, since the number one is back in class."

"How bout I light your room on fire, huh? That'll sure clean it up!" Bakugo threatened him.

Some of the girls came into view of the rabbit, who seemed happy to see the little guy. Mina and Ochako approached Koji and were allowed to pet Yuwai, which they did. "Unf, that floofy fluffiness soothes my soul." Ashido said.

"Going out to play in the courtyard? What a treat!" Uraraka commented.

After the petting was done, Koda, along with Sora, Ochako and Mina went out to the front and allowed Yuwai to be set down on the grass in the courtyard, free to run around the area as he saw fit. During this time, the four of them were keeping watch, while also discussing their plans for the training. Once Yuwai had his fill of touching grass, Koji called him over, though not using his quirk, as he trusted Yuwai to come to him of his own volition, which he did. The boy then returned his pet to his room, shut the door tight, then joined his classmates in the common area again.

[Silence]

After Izuku and Katsuki had collected the trash, and were in the process of taking it out, the rest of Class 1-A decided it was time to go. Sora took the lead and after making the walk back to the school grounds, the class reached the Development Studio and the Keyblade wielder knocked on the door, which Moogle answered. "Hey, problem child, Kupo."

"...What?" was all Sora could say to that.

"You didn't know about that, Kupo?" The merchant asked.

"No. I knew." The Keyblade wielder told him. "I just didn't expect you to call me that."

"I mean, it fits, considering your history, Kupo." Moogle pointed out. "Anyway, are you here to get back into training, Kupo."

"Yep." Sora confirmed. "This time, with backup."

[Play KH 1.5 HD Remix OST Oopsy Daisy]

Moogle took a peek outside and saw what the boy meant. Rightfully taken aback by how many people were here, the merchant said this in response. "You know, when that Iida guy said that it would be a good idea to fight Vanitas with others at your side, I didn't think you were going to bring your entire class to help you, Kupo."

"Well...they all wanted to, so..." Sora defended their reasoning.

After a brief moment of awkward silence between the pair, Moogle conceded and sighed. "Alright, let's go, Kupo."

The Keyblade wielder then gave a thumbs up to his classmates. "We're good to go." Much to the young heroes' pleasure. The group then went to the locker rooms, got into their hero costumes, then followed Moogle to the Monetary room, where he began to set up the datascape, while Sora explained Vanitas' abilities and techniques the best he could to his classmates.

[Silence]

This was the point where the rest of the class' doubts from before began to resurface. As reassuring and as inspiring as it was that almost everyone here was willing to help Sora for this battle, and while this technically is a data replica and not the real thing, they're still going up against Vanitas. And not the one that Kinoko and Kojiro from Class 1-B took on during the practicals, no. A full powered, updated version of the current Vanitas that nearly killed Sora recently.

Most of the students were slightly intimidated by that fact, but a select few were understandably trembling. Those select few, being the ones who had encountered him, both at the camp and at Kamino. Ochako, Tsuyu, Yuga and Mezo all remembered how they were blasted away by the Dark Remnant back at the campgrounds when Sora was taken down, and how casual the Villain was about it. Meanwhile Tenya, Kirishima, Momo and Shoto all remembered how viciously he fought and how he was persistent as he chased after the latter two, when Sora tried to escape with them at Kamino Ward. The fact that they were about to go against that, first hand, they were understandably afraid, being young and still relatively new to facing such strong adversaries.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Avant Title]

But as scary as that was, they also knew that the fear they had was nothing compared to the anger they had towards the Dark Remnant, for all of the atrocities that he had done that they knew about. Nor was the fear they had anywhere as strong as the determination they had to make sure that the Villain, regardless of his relation to Sora, would be taken down. The fear that the students had helped them understand how threatening that Vanitas would be, but the fury and drive they had made them only want to make sure that threat would be quelled.

As the students stowed their fear, Sora had finished his rundown of Vanitas, how he fights and adapts, and all of the techniques that the Class should expect him to use against them. Moogle had also finished setting up the datascape and signaled for them to enter. The Keyblade wielder took point, and was the first to step on the platform, and just after he entered the datascape, the other students followed him, one by one, until all of them were transported to the datascape.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST The Murderer's Eye]

Once the students stopped seeing ones and zeroes all around them, they saw their surroundings and immediately recognized where they were, with a select few having an uncomfortable sense of Deja Vu. The destroyed buildings, the sounds of chaos and misery, the fact that it was nightfall. They were all sent to a recreation of the destroyed section of Kamino Ward. Then the students noticed something else, they were alone, split apart from each other.

Sora, who was at the center of the area, summoned Oblivion and got into his battle stance, seeing Vanitas form in front of him. When the Dark Remnant saw the Guardian of Light in front of him, he let out a chuckle. "Back for more? Didn't me nearly killing you before get it through your head?" He summoned Void Gear and took his combat stance. "You don't stand a chance against me." The two Keyblade wielders charged, clashing blades, and making a shockwave with their powers clashing, and sparks would form from their continued striking against each other.

The force of the shockwave was felt by the scattered students of Class 1-A, and it quickly became apparent to them that Sora most likely just engaged Vanitas. They would need to get to their friend as fast as possible. Thankfully, they could also see sparks coming from the direction that they felt the shockwave come from, and had a solid idea of where to go.

As Tenya ran towards the commotion, he quickly saw two of his classmates who he called out to. "Uraraka! Asui!"

"Iida!" Ochako noticed him and waved over to him. When the class rep approached them, the two girls motioned for him to crouch, which he did so. The three of them then saw Sora and Vanitas a few dozen meters away from them, continuously clashing blades and exchanging attacks. "Looks like we were able to get here before the others."

"It would appear to be the case." Tenya replied. "For now, we'll have to make do as Sora's support until more of our classmates arrive."

"We need to wait for an opening before coming into the battle though, right?" Tsuyu commented, to which Iida nodded in confirmation.

Just then, they noticed Sora's guard got broken as Vanitas swatted away Oblivion from the Guardian of Light's hand, before continuing his attack and forcing the boy to dodge and evade. "Now!" Tenya ordered.

Ingenium sprinted over towards the two Keyblade wielders, catching both of them by surprise. The Class rep went for a kick to the Dark Remnant's face, but Vanitas blocked it with his forearm. "RECIPRO BURST!" Tenya screamed out, as his engines flared, drastically increasing the pressure put on Vanitas' forearm, which pushed the Dark Remnant back a few meters.

As Vanitas was about to retaliate however, Sora blitzed forward, with Oblivion in hand and pressed the attack, forcing the Dark Remnant to defend himself with Void Gear. "Thanks for the assist!" The Guardian of Light said.

"I'm not done yet!" Iida told him, as he blitzed forward and went for another kick, only for that to also be blocked by Vanitas' free arm.

"This another friend of yours, Brother?" The Dark Remnant asked. "He's got some real guts, charging into the fray like that. How bout I carve them out of him?"

That comment got both young Heroes flared up, as they pushed ever harder together and pushed Vanitas back a few more meters away, but the Dark Remnant immediately regained his footing and blitzed back to the pair. A silhouette came out of Vanitas and charged at Tenya, while the real one went for Sora. The two Keyblade wielders clashed blades once more, while Iida sent a kick towards the Dark Remnant's silhouette, who clashed it with its blade, similarly to how he and Sora had clashed during the finals at the Sports Festival.

Pulling the same trick he did to Sora, Tenya skidded his leg down the blade and struck the silhouette in the head. "RECIPRO EXTEND!" The class rep called out as he kept his engines in overdrive, and finished his kick this time, slamming the silhouette's head into the ground, before using the momentum to go for another roundhouse kick aimed towards Vanitas.

The Dark Remnant saw it coming and warped away, letting the kick go through his afterimage and towards Sora, "Whoa no!" who barely had enough time to duck under the kick as he said that. He then saw Vanitas warp above and behind his classmate. "Tenya, behind you!"

Iida used his failed kick's momentum to turn himself around and go for a counter, but instead of descending down, Vanitas warped away again and reappeared in front of Tenya, under his leg. The Dark Remnant swept the class rep off of his feet with a kick of his own, which made Iida uncontrollably spin in the air, due to his engine legs still being in overdrive, before Vanitas slammed Void Gear into the boy's chest, knocking the wind out of him before sending his body towards Sora, who braced himself as he caught his friend, but lost his balance as he got the wind knocked out of him, and fell to his back from the force of the body hitting him.

[Play FF7 Remake OST The Valkyrie Phase 1]

As the two boys were on the ground, trying to catch their breath, Vanitas stood over the pair and scoffed. "If your friends really are your power, then it's no wonder why you're so pathetic. They're power is nothing, so your pathetic strength won't be any better than it was before." The two boys pushed themselves to their knees, but the Dark Remnant and the silhouette placed a foot on the two young Heroes' backs, keeping them down. "The only difference this'll make for you, Sora, is how much more satisfying agony you'll be feeling when I butcher them right in front of you."

At that point, multiple large slabs of concrete suddenly came flying towards the group. Vanitas and the silhouette backed away to avoid himself from getting hit by the attack, but as he was about to watch those two get hit by the debris, a tongue wrapped around the pair and pulled them out of the way. To the surprise of the Dark Remnant, and to the Guardian of light, more backup had arrived in the form of Uravity and Froppy. "We're here, Sora!" They both said together.

"More of you." Vanitas said in an amused tone. "Now I get to gut three friends in front of Sora." He blitzed towards Tsuyu, but was cut off by Sora, who was released from the girl's tongue, along with Iida. The Guardian of Light pushed back against the Dark Remnant, forcing him to back off, but the silhouette immediately charged and struck at Sora hard enough to force the boy back as well.

Tenya moved in and sent a kick towards the silhouette's head, but it was intercepted by its blade, before being pushed back. Iida lost his balance, but before the silhouette could press its attack, Asui's tongue wrapped around it and she pulled it away from her classmate. The silhouette warped out of her tongue and reappeared behind her, but was then struck in the head by a slab of concrete, thrown by Ochako, who used her quirk to throw it, then release it when it impacted. The weight of the concrete slab struck the silhouette at full force, knocking it away.

Vanitas himself blitzed over to her and thrusted forward, but her Gunhead Martial Arts training kicked in and she sidestepped the attack, before grabbing the Dark Remnant's wrist and the back of his neck. She pulled with all her strength, but her hands just went through Vanitas' body, which stayed in place. She was confused at first, until she saw it quickly fading away. An afterimage from warping away.

She then felt her back get struck, then her legs then felt cold, as ice formed below her feet. Vanitas managed to get behind her, slash her back and freeze the ground below her. The Dark Remnant then grabbed her by the back of the neck with his free hand and pulled her back. Her frozen legs kept her in place, but Vanitas kept pulling, and it began to hurt a lot.

Suddenly, a Fire spell that came from Sora flew towards the pair and it struck the ice at Uraraka's feet, freeing her from being pulled apart. Vanitas then held her close and squeezed her neck, aiming to break it, but Ochako had other plans. She grabbed his wrist and her quirk activated. As he began to float in the air, the Dark Remnant was confused once more. He then felt his body get wrapped around by Tsuyu's Tongue once more, before being pulled towards her again.

He still held on to Uraraka while he was being pulled towards her, and moved her in front of him, aiming to use her as a shield against her allies, but he was then struck in the mask by Oblivion, as Sora blind sighted him and attacked. The surprise of the attack, on top of the strength of the swing made him drop Ochako, and swing Void Gear at him to counter, but the Guardian of Light backed away and blitzed towards the silhouette that was attempting to attack Asui while her guard was down. He cut off the silhouette and blocked its attack, while Tsuyu swung her tongue towards a pile of rubble and let Vanitas slam into it, while Uraraka released her quirk to make sure he felt the full force of the slam.

Asui then began to retract her tongue, but then felt it get grabbed. A small burst of energy erupted from where Vanitas was slammed into, clearing out the dust, revealing the Dark Remnant, holding onto the frog girl's tongue, before coating his hand in Dark Thunder magic, letting it travel through the tongue and reach Tsuyu, let out an agonized scream as she went through the shock of her life.

"TSU!" The other three called out, each rushing towards Vanitas to try and stop him. Tenya was quickly stopped by the silhouette, which swatted him away and pursued him to follow up its attack. The Dark Remnant casted His Crawling Fire spell, when he saw Ochako make a few pieces of debris float and throw them towards him. The spell split from one small fireball to five fast moving fireballs and intercepted the pieces of debris, making a cloud of smoke. Using that to his advantage, he casted multiple Dark Blizzard spells in rapid succession and they flew through the cover of the smoke.

Sora was barely able to dodge the incoming spells, but Uraraka was not so lucky, and she got hit by at least half of them, freezing her body from the neck down, keeping her in place. The Guardian of Light reached Vanitas' position, but when he went to strike, the Dark Remnant sidestepped the attack, then quickly circled around Sora multiple times, before pulling Asui's electrified tongue and making it constrict the Guardian of Light. Vanitas then amplified the power of his Dark Thunder spell, making it shock both Sora and Asui even more than it already was before. Hearing both their struggles and pained screams made The Dark Remnant laugh at their misery. "That's the stuff. Keep struggling. Keep screaming. Makes it so much more fun for me."

But then to his surprise, he heard another female voice scream out "Acid Veil!" And the silhouette that was attacking Iida was met with a gelatinous wall of acid, that it ran into and melted from. "I've got you Iida!" Said Mina, who arrived to assist the group.

The Dark Remnant then felt his hand get grabbed and saw a blonde boy with a single streak of black hair, absorbing his Dark Thunder magic, stopping Sora and Tsuyu's electrical torment. "Looks like we made it in time." Denki commented, before grabbing Vanitas by the shoulder and using his quirk to electrocute the Dark Remnant. "How about a taste of your own medicine!?"

The strong shock made Vanitas feel some measure of pain, but he quickly held Void Gear up and was about to swing at Kaminari, until he saw the Keyblade get tape quickly wrapped around it, and felt it get yanked out of his hand. "Not so fast, baddie!" Hanta announced, being the one to briefly disarm the Dark Remnant. As Vanitas stuck his arm out to resummon the blade, Denki took his hand off of the Villain's shoulder and grabbed Vanitas' open hand to stop him, continuing the electric attack, while absorbing the Dark Thunder spell, to keep Sora and Asui from being shocked by the Villain.

"NNNNGH! Get off!" Vanitas shouted, letting go of the frog girl's tongue to resummon Void Gear in his now free hand. He went for a strike, but then a boy with red spiky hair rushed in and grabbed the Keyblade with his hands, not getting cut by it.

"Not a very manly thing to do." Said Ejiro, who had his hardened body stand firm, holding the Dark Remnant's weapon back from striking his classmate.

During this time, Tsu retracted her tongue all the way back, while Sora moved to Ochako and broke her free from her frozen state. As Mina brought Tenya over to them, The Guardian of Light casted Cure on himself, Iida, Uraraka and Asui, healing them just enough for them to keep going in the fight.

[Play FF7 Remake OST The Valkyrie Phase Two]

"Like I care about your opinion!" Vanitas shouted back, before making three silhouettes appear from him and making them attack the new arrivals. One pushed away Kaminari and Kirishima, while the other two went for Sero and Ashido. The silhouette that went after Hanta quickly got grabbed by Asui's tongue and pulled away from him, while the silhouette that went after Mina was cut off by Sora, who blocked the attack and pushed it back. The students quickly grouped up, while the three silhouettes moved to Vanitas' side. It was now eight vs four, with the Heroes having the numbers advantage. As the students were starting to feel confident in their chances, The Dark Remnant then spoke up. "You think you're gonna beat me because you've brought more friends over huh?" He and the silhouettes charged forward. "Go ahead and try!"

As Vanitas and the silhouettes blitzed towards the group, Mina stepped forward and made another acid veil with her quirk, while Tenya and Sero split from the team in one direction, while Ochako and Tsuyu went in the other direction, leaving herself and Ejiro to defend Sora and Denki, who were now holding the Keyblade, which was switched from Oblivion to Oathkeeper, and were charging up their Ultimate Combo.

Vanitas casted a Dark Blizzard spell, and froze the acid veil solid, before he and the silhouettes smashed through it. As the Dark Remnant only saw four of the eight people he was currently fighting, he wondered where the other four went, but his questions were answered when tape wrapped around one silhouette and pulled it away, while a tongue wrapped around another silhouette and pulled that one away. Kirishima had his guard up and took the brunt of the third silhouette's attack, while Ashido shot out more acid that got dangerously close to Vanitas, who was forced to back away, or risk getting soaked in the corrosive substance.

As he backed away, he saw the pink skinned girl put her hands together, and then point them in the direction of where he was. As she had him in her sights, she sprayed out acid from her hands and it shot straight forward, taking the Dark Remnant by surprise once more. He was fast enough to dodge the ranged attack, and pointed Void Gear towards her, but he then saw what Sora and Kaminari were doing and changed his aim to those two, shooting his Dark Blizzard spell towards them.

Mina noticed where that frosty projectile was going and made another acid veil to protect her classmates, which worked, but in the process, left her open to Vanitas closing the distance and swatting her away with his Keyblade. He turned to see the silhouette that was fighting Ejiro was currently being slammed into the ground by the red head, before warping away and striking the boy from behind, which made the young Hero to slightly lose his balance and fall forward, only to catch himself and turn around to counter with another punch.

The silhouette that was pulled away by Sero was fairing no better, as it was constantly warping out of tape that would constrict its movement. It was also having difficulty cutting it, as both sides were sticky, rather than just one side, so the tape would just keep snagging on the blade. Any time it would get out of the tape, Iida was there to strike it with a series of kicks to either push it back into more tape, or to give his classmate enough time to make more to keep the pressure on.

Meanwhile, the silhouette that Uraraka and Asui were fighting against was constantly swatting away debris that was thrown towards it by Ochako. By the time that it would get an opening and try to close the distance, it got snagged by Tsuyu and pulled away. It couldn't keep track of the frog girl, because of her camouflage, and it couldn't grab her tongue like Vanitas did last time, due to her being more careful and not giving the silhouette a chance to grab it.

The Dark Remnant chose to focus his attention on Denki and Sora, blitzing towards the pair in an attempt to stop what they were doing, but the Guardian of Light saw him coming and did something a little dangerous. He stopped using his flowmotion aura to keep the electrical discharge from spreading, allowing the lightning to engulf the pair, which acted as a barrier for the two when Vanitas went to strike them, as it instead electrocuted him and forced him to back off.

[Play FF7 Remake OST The Valkyrie Phase 3]

"NGH!" The Dark Remnant grunted. "So you want to be like that, huh?" He then summoned four more silhouettes, and the four of them together charged up their Dark Link shotlock.

"Uh oh." Sora realized what was about to happen and was very worried. "That's not good."

"Uh, hey guys! We're gonna need some assistance!" Kaminari yelled out, getting the others' attention.

As the other students currently with them saw what was about to happen, they knew that they needed to step in. "We're on our way!" Tenya stated, but as he went to interrupt the Dark Remnant, the silhouette that he and Hanta were dealing with intercepted him and slammed him towards Sero, who got the wind knocked out of him from his classmate impacting him that hard.

Ejiro then tried to go, but the silhouette he was dealing with grabbed him and threw him away from Vanitas, and over towards Ochako, who saw him coming and managed to move out of the way, but still be in reach, so she could graze his arm with her fingers and make him float. Tsu then caught him with her tongue and pulled him down, but as she did that, the silhouette they were previously dealing with warped in front of her and kneed her hard in the gut, making her drop to her knees, then warped to Kirishima, grabbed him and threw him towards Uraraka again, but she couldn't dodge this time, as the reduced gravity made the hardened student fly even faster than before. She took the hit, and was able to stand, releasing her quirk once she pushed her classmate off of her, but the pair were quickly assaulted by two silhouettes, each giving them a hard time.

Mina pushed herself to her feet and saw that Sora and Denki were still charging up their Ultimate Combo, as well as seeing Vanitas and three silhouettes charging up a move of their own. She put her hands together and shot acid towards The Dark Remnant, but the silhouette that dealt with Tenya and Hanta intercepted the attack and blocked it with a black barrier. Before shooting out a Fire spell that Ashido barely dodged. As she was about to attack again, the silhouette reached her position, grabbed her by the horns and then headbutted her across the face, dazing her long enough to be kicked back by the silhouette.

"Shoot! We need more time!" Denki was beginning to panic.

"You don't get that time!" Vanitas yelled out as he and the other three silhouettes fired their beams towards the pair. But to their surprise, a giant mound of ice intercepted the attack and instead, obliterated that. "What?!"

"Then we'll give them more time." Shoto spoke up, with the remaining students of Class 1-A alongside him.

Kyouka then used her earphone jacks on the speakers in her hands. "Heartbeat Distortion!" She vibrated the ground below Vanitas and shattered the ground below him, making him jump into the air.

"Don't let up!" Momo ordered, as she had a pair of loaded cannons next to her, which both fired canister shots, towards the Dark Remnant and the silhouettes. Vanitas and the silhouettes were able to mostly avoid the attack, but not without getting grazed, which annoyed the Dark Remnant. He then barely avoided a sparkling laser that came from Yuga, who was backing the class deputy up, then began to get pestered by birds in the air as well, from Koji, who was helping cover the skies.

"Keep the pressure on him!" Mashirao yelled out as he charged in to attack, along with Rikido, who was buffed up on his sugar, and Fumikage, who was cloaked by Dark Shadow with his Black Abyss Ultimate Move.

"And don't give him an opening." Todoroki said as he sent out a wave of fire towards the silhouettes that were attacking Ochako and Ejiro, forcing them to back away from the pair while Toru grabbed Tsuyu and helped her friend up.

Ashido, in spite of her still feeling dazed, pushed herself to her feet and noticed Minoru had set up a trap with his sticky balls. Seeing that Vanitas needed to be coaxed into moving towards it, she put her hands together again and sprayed more acid towards Vanitas while he was in the air. She angled it so that way he would be forced to dodge towards the ground where the sticky balls were, and when he did, he landed right on a few, which stuck him in place and confused the Dark Remnant. "What in the...!"

"Tell me you're done charging up, Sora!" Mineta cried out as he threw more balls at Vanitas, who tried to swat them away, only to get them stuck on Void Gear.

"Almost...!" Sora said, before he felt his magic come back to him, which he immediately poured into the blade. "Ready!"

The pair then took aim and then the Guardian of Light screamed out. "SIX MILLION VOLT BURST!" And the lightning bursted forward.

[Play FF7 Remake OST The Valkyrie Defeat]

"WHA?!" Vanitas saw the attack coming, but was stuck to the ground, so he couldn't avoid it. The attack struck his position, and when it did, the silhouettes all vanished.

At that moment, everyone quickly looked around, seeing if anyone was hurt. Most people were doing ok, but others were banged up a little bit. The group began to catch their breath. They did it, they actually managed to take down Vanitas. Some of the students smiled and began to cheer.

But then the dust settled, and they saw a small black dome. A barrier blocked the entire attack. "It's not over yet!" Sora screamed out.

"It will be now!" Vanitas roared out, as a massive wave of darkness erupted from where he was, and the ground from underneath each of the students suddenly erupted from underneath them, flinging them all into the air. The wind then suddenly pulled them, as well as streams of debris even further into the air. The Dark Remnant jumped up and remade the seven silhouettes he had before, then the eight of them began to pick off the students, at a speed way too fast for the students to see.

The first one taken out was Jiro, who would have been killed if she wasn't pulled out of the datascape before the blow struck her. Next was Yaoyorozu, followed up by Ashido, then Sero, then Asui. After them came Todoroki, then Fumikage, then Kaminari and Aoyama. Half of them were essentially just 'killed' by Vanitas just now, and he wasn't done. Next up was Koda, then Shoji and Hagakure, followed up shortly by Iida and Mineta. After them came Ojiro, then Sato and Tokoyami, until finally, Uraraka was the last one to be struck down by Vanitas, all while Sora watched, too slow to react in time to stop any of it. "I told you that this would happen!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" The Guardian of light screamed out, as he changed into Double Form from the energy he gathered from the fight, and immediately used his Stellar Inception shotlock to take out the silhouettes and destroy the streams of debris, while also damaging Vanitas quite a bit. As the Dark Remnant raised Void Gear and was about to cast cure on himself, Sora blitzed over with his flowmotion and swiped Vanitas's wrist, slicing his hand off. The Guardian of light then quickly did the same to the other hand, before using up all the power he had saved up to use his finishing move, making dozens of pillars of light and darkness that continuously rained down and struck Vanitas over and over again, until he was back on the ground, and unable to move because of how injured he was. Sora then changed back to base form and blitzed down to Vanitas' position with his flowmotion and slammed his feet to the Dark Remnant's head, knocking him out.

Back in the real world, the students of class 1-A had got themselves back to their feet and were able to watch Sora deliver the final blow. As much as the group wanted to cheer at the victory, and some of them almost did, they were all reminded that the only reason Sora won this, was because it had cost him all of them 'dying' to do it. And as the group saw on the screen, Sora was not happy with this victory. The Keyblade wielder dropped to his knees and his Keyblade vanished, he was just barely able to resist the urge to scream like he did back at the Keyblade Graveyard. He knew that his friends were fine right now, but he also knew that both he and they still had a long way to go before they could ever hope to go up against Vanitas and truly win.

The students of 1-A all looked at eachother, all of them thinking the same thing that Sora was. A victory against one Villain at the cost of almost 20 Heroes, would not be a real victory at all. They needed to make sure that their victory against a Villain like Vanitas would result in zero casualties. The class looped back at the screen, a few of them scared, but all of them determined to get stronger, so that they could not only take down Vanitas with no casualties, but any other Villain that dares go against them.

Sora then pushed himself back up to his feet and looked up, waiting to be taken back to the real world, and soon enough, he saw the datascape begin to fade away around him, as he was transported out of it.

[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Three Secrets]

As he was being brought back into the real world, he took a deep breath and fixed his face. He couldn't muster up a smile, but he at least made sure he didn't look like he was about to break. Once he was back in the real world, the class saw how he looked and there was an awkward silence for a few moments, until Moogle spoke up. "Well, at least you all know what you're up against now, Kupo." A few glances were sent his way. "Just saying, Kupo. This may have been a disaster, but you all still learned something from it, Kupo." The group still remained silent. They got his point, but it was still a bit to take in. "Well, let's call it in for today, Kupo. When you feel like you're ready to go at it again, let Sora know and he'll let you train with him again, Kupo." On that, everyone agreed. As the students began to leave the area, Sora was stopped by Moogle. "You gonna be okay, Kupo?"

The Keyblade wielder took another breath before replying to him. "Yeah."

"Just remember that your friends getting hurt is gonna happen if they try to help you fight Vanitas, Kupo." The Merchant reminded him. "The best you can do is minimize how much damage will be caused, Kupo."

"Right." Sora understood, and with that Moogle let him go. As the class went back to their Dormitory to rest for the rest of the day, Moogle shut off the computers linked to the Datascape in the Monetary Room, then left to go back to the Development Studio. While today didn't end on a high note for the young Heroes, there was still progress that was made, no matter how much it hurt.

And here's the next chapter. I know. It's been a few months. What with prepping for my niece being born on the 8th of March, and also me being in more of a Star Wars mood, so I was writing a chapter for that fic instead. And I don't write two different chapters at the same time, lest I forget what I was writing about and need to reread what I wrote in order to get back into the swing of it. Anyway, Sora and Class 1-A had their first group match with the Data Vanitas Remnant. (And it went about as bad as you'd expect.) In spite of that though, the group now knows what they'll be dealing with down the line, and are willing to train to be strong enough to contend with that kind of menace. Weather it will be gaining new Ultimate Combo moves with Sora, or just building themselves up, so long as they improve to the point where they can stand alongside the Keyblade Wielder, they're willing to do so. Aside from that though, you guys probably will not be getting a bunch of chapters in quick succession anytime soon. Because my niece's room is next to mine, and we have thin walls. And baby crying will not put me in a writing mood. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and until I decide to upload again. ;)
