"Yes?" I answered, wondering where he was going with this.
"So, if the Juubi splitting apart is the problem, then can't you, you know, bring it all into one place?" Isobu asked.
"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but some of these clones have been flying." I answered. "And since they aren't... you know, aerodynamic, it's because of the Juubi's own abilities." So, Chakra Bullshit. "Still, that's not a bad idea."
Hell, let's be extra ironic about it.
I teleported away, summoning my Keyblades. The ends tapped together, and a sphere formed as I slowly pulled them away.
Gravity, hmm?
This was going to be a little difficult. I needed something that would affect the Juubi- and only the Juubi. There would be no point to using a gravity spell if I also conveniently gave it the material with which it could push itself off of, potentially outside of the spell radius.
I can do gravity.
The sphere blackened. Darkness continued to flow into it, condensing and compressing. I put more than little bit of My Darkness into this. I needed something that was going to last.
The sphere reached pure black. Depth perception of it vanished, and it suddenly seemed to be a perfect little circle in the world. An illusion; the result of light simply not reflecting off of it.
Fly away, my pretty.
With a quick movement, I swung my Keyblades to my side. The sphere drifted upwards, into the sky.
A wave of the Juubi's clones leapt at me, and did not come back down. Instead, they went up. I watched as they did, falling upwards until they hit the sphere, their bodies wrapping around it in ways that would make a contortionist jealous.
And now we play the waiting game. Let's see how long it takes for the entirety of the Juubi to get trapped up there, where I'll have the free shots I need.
The other clones of the Juubi began to fall upwards, their bodies adding to the pile.
The Juubi itself screamed, beginning to rise-
Right before it's body shifted, large tendrils bursting out from it towards the ground. They went in, and through it, and the Juubi pulled itself back down, shortly burrowing further into the ground.
I stared as it vanished beneath the earth.
Didn't move, even when another one of those tendrils broke through the ground and slammed down on me.
"I feel as though I should have expected this." I noted.
Right before I slįce̛d̨ ̸th͜a͝t fucking t̷en͢ḑr̕i͠l ͠i͞n h͢al͢f.
"... Drich?" Isobu questioned. He was a little... spooked.
"It's okay. Just another fcng plan down the gutter."
"... In the middle there-"
"' oky. ' just lttl bsolutly fuckng lvd ght now."
"Uh..."
"I'm fine."
"Are... you sure-"
"Ys."
"... Okay."
I raised my hand and c͢l͢e̸nc͞h̀ed. In the sky above, the sphere hummed. Its gravity intensified, the smaller fragments of the Juubi breaking apart underneath its power. Their bodies simply couldn't stay together under the pressure, liquefying into a ball of disassociated Chakra.
It flashed. A barrier of hexagons and pentagons wrapped around it. The sliced-off part of the tendril floated up to it, and passed through it. It met the same fate.
"Fine." I spoke. "I do anything, and somebody inevitably pulls out something that can counter it. Nagato did it. You're doing it. When I get back, Fucking Obito will do it, too."
The Juubi... it was burrowing further. Deeper.
"I'm done." I continued. "I am so fucking done. From this point onwards, there will be no more escapes. There will be no new techniques. There will be no Bijuu for you to absorb. From this point onwards, I am going to take you down, piece by fucking piece, and you're not going to do anything about it."
I raised my Keyblade. "And once I'm done? Once you're trapped, with no way out?" Darkness began gathering yet again. "I will kill you."
Earth was not an element I used often. I preferred fire and lightning. The occasional bit of ice, too.
But that didn't mean I was incapable of it.
"Quakagun." I stated, slamming my Keyblades down.
There was a single moment of silence.
And then-
The world broke.
The earth split apart, massive ravines rippling outwards, even as columns of dirt burst out of the ground. Mountains shook, and fell to pieces as nothing more than fist-sized chunks of rubble. Pits formed as sinkholes emerged, soil swirling down.
Directly underneath me received the worst of the effect. The earth simply split, creating a massive chasm, easily far larger than any other ravine I'd created. It was large enough, wide enough, and deep enough that it revealed the Juubi, the creature writhing and twisting against the shaking earth.
Its eye fell upon me. I glared back.
I didn't give it a single moment of peace. I was down there in an instant, my Keyblades flashing as I slashed and slashed and slashed and s͡l̵ash̛ed.
It's flesh moved, splitting and evading, counter attacking and stabbing back. Even so, I carved off small pieces of it one by one, sending each piece into the sky as I did. Either I flicked them upwards, and let gravity do the rest, or I teleported them high, and let gravity do the rest anyway.
The Juubi was a massive thing; easily eclipsing even the Kyuubi in pure size. Its smaller fragments were often larger than Gamabunta; and that toad was certainly not small.
Each piece I cut off was but a tiny fragment; but it didn't matter. Tiny fragments or not, they would all add up, in the end. Sure, it was going to take a very long time at this rate, but really?
I didn't care.
I didn't care one bit.
No matter how long it took, no matter how many times I had to attack it, no matter how much Darkness I had to draw in...
I was going to kill the Juubi.
