Static fills your vision as it slowly fades away to reveal a lounge area with the author typing away at a computer.
A moment later he notices you and banishes it away.
*Hello and welcome back to From No One to Someone.*
*I bet most of you thought that this wouldn't be out till after Kingdom Hearts 3, but I decided go surpise you guys a little early and give you what you have all been waiting for.*
*The fight between Roxas and Vanitas. I've been waiting a long time for this.*
*Still before we get into the action there is two things that I would like to say.*
*First off thank you all for the suport this past year.*
*When I started this story I honestly never thought I would make it this far. My first story bombed hard and I thought that this wouldn't take off.*
*One year later and I have 3 main stories under my name with this one alone worth nearly 14,000 views, nearly 140 followers, and nearly 120 favorites. Add in the success of my Inuyasha story on Wattpad and I've come very far in just one year.*
*So from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your continued support.*
The author says this, before wiping the tears from his eyes.
*Sorry about that, anyway let's move on to the second thing.*
*That's if you don't already know, but I have a new story out that is more of something on the side called Twilit Mages. I suggest that you try it out if you haven't already. Well if you want to read it anyway. The choice is up to you after all.*
*Anyway with that out of the let's begin this chapter.*
*So take a seat, relax, maybe put on some music, and enjoy.*
*Also so I don't forget to do the disclaimer, I do not own Kingdom Hearts.*
*Now then, let's begin this chapter.*
With that the author procures a remote and with the click of a button, the chapter begins.
Vanitas
Roxas studied the Unverse that were emerging from the ground and the ones that he sensed hidden in the treeline. Waiting to take action.
There was over 110 total, nothing that he couldn't handle.
However there was one thing that had him edge.
Unlike the Heartless and Nobodies, the Unversed had hearts.
Though by the standards of Somebodies, these hearts were rather lacking.
They were lacking both light and dark and comprised only of negativity.
That alone made him worried.
These weren't the mindless Heartless or
the intelligent Nobodies. These Unversed was the perfect mixture of them.
Making them a bit tougher to deal with.
Still Roxas took the first action and fired an Aero into on of the emerging shapes and sent it flying.
The Unversed straightened itself up to reveal a dark blue creature the size of a Shadow without any hands, angry red eyes set in a permanent glare, triangular head, and lightning shaped antenna.
Upon getting up, a pair of the Unversed attempted to attack from the sides.
Roxas easily destroyed the first one with the swing of his Keyblade before bringing it down over the second one's head.
However it evaded the attack and sunk into the ground. It came back up behind Roxas and almost atruck him in the back, if he didn't block it with Oblivion.
A quick strike later and it was destroyed leaving nothing but a puff of darkness.
Seeing that he was basically fighting a group of intelligent Shadow, he switched to Oathkeeper for his next strategy.
He waited till they surrounded him before jumping into the air.
"Thundara!" Roxas casted as a massive thunderbolt struck the place he had once been at, vaporizing most of the Unversed.
Only two remained and Roxas immediately struck down the one closest to him.
The other Unversed took the opportunity to land a hit on him. Roxas managed to compose himself before it could do so again and shot a fireball at it. It sunk into the ground and sprung up behind Roxas.
"Blizzard!" He casted, freezing the Unversed in its place.
A swing of the Keyblade and it shattered into pieces.
He didn't have much time to rest as the other Unversed began to emerge from the treeline.
Over half of them were the same kind of Unversed, but the other half were comprised of other kinds of Unversed.
The first new one looked like a much taller one of the first as they looked about a head shorter then him. The main differences were that it's atenia were much shorter, had what looked like armored padding around the legs with what he could guess is the Unversed emblem, and it's arms ending in three metalic claws.
The next new one were a larger. more rotard version of the second one with armored padding all over their body, arms ending in large fists, a longer pair of antenia.
The final kind just looked like flying red pots with the red eyes that seemed sorrowful.
Taking a look around him, Roxas could see that he was right about his previous thoughts.
The Unversed were the perfect combination of the Heartless'a feral nature and swarming capabilities mixed in with the flexibility and intelligence of the Nobodies.
Combining that along with the ferocity they have displayed so far, they were truly a threat.
Not world ending like the Heartless or organized like the Nobodies.
But like a pack of rapid animals, attacking anything in their sight.
A truly dangerious threat.
With that in mind Roxas switched to Oblivion and struck down the closest Unversed closest to him.
"Do you mind explaining the first wave my king?" The Unversed asked it's king l, as they were watching Roxas kill a Flood with his black Keyblade.
"That was merely a test for them." He said simply while studying Roxas, who had been hit by a Scrapper.
He retaliated by throwing his Keyblade at it, killing the Unversed and an unlucky Flood in its return path.
"So you were trying to see if what happened to me could be replicated with them." It surmised as it watch Roxas slaughter somemore Floods.
Despite it's newfound sentience and capacity for emotion, it felt no emotion for the fallen members of it's species.
All Unversed returned to their king after their death in the form of memories. With their knowledge passed on to the next wave in order to make sure they don't make the same mistake again.
Not that it always works though.
Like every living thing, there were some idiots among the Unversed.
"True, but what happened to you was appearnty a one in a million chance. I modified those Floods to the basis of what I created you. But while it did work, it was only a very slight change. If they had been absorbing the energy for weeks then they probably would be at your level. But that is borderline impossible." The king said as Roxas took out a Bruiser and sent it flying into a Red Hot Chilie.
"I see." The Unversed sighed out, a little disappointed that there would be no other like it in the hoard.
Still it had thought about that possibility and wouldn't worry about it all that much. It would probably better if there was only Unversed with a true mind in the hiard considering how aggressive they as a whole can get.
"Anyway are you going to face him after this wave my king?" The Unversed asked as Roxas had pretty much decimated about half of the wave by now.
"Not yet, I still have one surprise before I face him. But I have to say that I'm both impressed and disappointed with Roxas." The king sighed out, surprising the Unversed.
"And why is that my king?" It asked.
"It's simple. I'm impressed of hiw he is handling the Unversed. Granted they are the weakest species of the bunch, but with that finess and technique I've to guess he trained by fighting Heartless, the same way I did. Only his style seems less refined then mine or anyother Keyblade wielders. I suppose there was some truth in his story after all." The king stated.
"Then how does he displease you my king?" It asked, only to flinch at feeling the negativity starting to roll off him.
"He's holding back something. I can't tell what it is, but I can tell that it is something big and I intend to find out." The king said in a dry tone.
"Maybe you will find out during the next wave." The Unversed said, hoping to calm its king down a little.
It worked as the negativity surrounding the king died down.
"I suppose your right." The king sighed out. "But just in case I should modify it's hide a little, it wouldn't do for it to go down so fast after all."
"And what would that be my king?" The Unversed asked.
"You'll see in a few moments, so just continue to watch as it is almost over." The king said as he leaned into the branch.
True to word it was almost over as there was only a Bruiser and three Floods remaining.
Roxas had made short work of the swarm, although he was a little exhausted.
Considering that he still hadn't fully recovered from the ordeal in the Corridor of Ages it was a little understandable.
Deciding to end it now Roxas casted Firaga.
The spell decimated the Unversed and left only the Bruiser, which charged at him.
Roxas dodged out of the way and a few quick hits to the back and it was down.
He thought that he could get a temporary reprieve, but he sensed something approaching.
Another Unversed and judging by it's heart, it was a whole other league then the ones he just thought. The negativity it radiated was compariable to the sheer darkness a Darkside generated.
Meaning that this might be a difficult fight.
"You have got to be kidding me." Roxas muttered as the Unversed appeared from the tree line.
It was basically a tree on four root like legs, fruit hanging off it's branch like arms, angry red eyes, and the Unversed symbol located underneath a jagged maw of teeth like bark.
Roxas made a quick prayer to Kingdom Hearts that this battle wouldn't end up like his fight with the Leechgrave.
"Fira!" He casted, hoping to due some damage.
Instead it only made things worse as the tree like Unversed was now on fire and it seemed no worse for ware.
"Okay that is just ridiculous." Roxas stated as he sent a trio of Blizzards spells it's way.
The Unversed responded in kind by sending flaming fruit back aat the Nobody.
One of the respective projectiles clashed in the center while the others went flying past each other. Roxas managed to dodge a fruit that was head his way while the Unversed was hit dead on by both spells. It did little to slow it down however.
Upon hearing a hissing sound next to him, he looked where he once was a was glad to jave avoided that fruit.
Because right next to him was a flaming pool of poison. One of many littering the clearing.
He needed to avoid those as he didn't have any Antidotes on hand or knew the spell to cure poison.
Roxas was broken out of hiis musings when a giant fireball hit him, sending him flying into a tree.
The Nobody barely had time to avoid a root emerging from the ground and slamming into the tree, snapping it in half.
"Reflect!" He casted as another fireball was sailing towards him. It hit the barrier and produced a smokescreen.
As soon as the barrier dispelled, Roxas lept out to see that the Unversed had changed somewhat.
It was now planted into the ground like a giant, flaming tree with it's back roots clutching onto the flaming fruit and it's front roots slammed into the smokescreen. Reminding him of the Leechgrave somewhat.
"Cure!" Roxas casted healing himself up while he had the chance.
The Unversed, still thinking that he was in the smokescreen spat out another large fireball and threw some fruit into it, hoping to hit him.
Now healed and taking advantage of the distraction, Roxas aimed his Keyblade at a puddle of poison.
"Fira!" He casted.
The fireball caught the attention of the Unversed, but it was too late for it to react.
The spell hit the pool and caused a small explosion right next to it, dislodging it from the ground.
On shakey roots it tried to set itself up straight.
But a Blizzara from Roxas froze it's right branch and front root. The root shattered underneath the weight of the Unversed and it collapsed face first into the ground.
Right onto another pool of poison, causing another explosion.
Taking this chance, Roxas switched to Oblivion and proceeded to beat on the downed Unversed. He kept at it for a few more moments before the Unversed used one of it's back roots to slam into him and sent him flying.
Roxas barely had any time to correct his course mid air before landing next to a pool of poison.
When he got back up the Unversed had settled back into the ground again. Without it's front root it couldn't do much else.
But still had three other rots and was using them to hurl flaming fruit all over the place.
I fact it was throwing them all over the clearing except for where Roxas was standing. Soon the entire clearing was overed in poison.
It was only when the Unversed opened it's maw did Roxas realize the severity of the situation.
"Reflect!" He casted, just as the Unversed spat out another fireball down to the ground and right into the poison.
A massive explosion went off and all Roxas could see was purple smog and his ears rung from the explosion while his makeshift barrier started to crack.
Eventually the barrier gave away and the Nobody felt his lungs burning.
The smog was toxic and the poison was a bit more then what his body could handle.
Thankfully due to his many experiences by being poisonepoisoned by Heartless he knew that he could recover quickly if just continued to spam Cure until he found a Moogle or one of his fellow Keyblade wielders.
But for now he needed to focus on the Unversed.
Eventually the smog cleared to reveal that the surrounding area was now mostly bare with some fallen trees littering the ground with the Unversed.
It looked like the explosion was a double edge sword for it as the Unversed was now a charcoal black and was no longer flaming. It looked like it was on its last legs, but it still had a little fight left in it as it tossed another fruit at Roxas.
"Aero!" Roxas casted as he swung his Keyblade. Instead of it's usual shape, the spell came as a gale sent the fruit back at it.
The Unversed could only howl in pain as the fruit crashed into it's eyes, blinding and poisoning it.
Taking this chance, Roxas rushed at at and activated his Limit Break.
With his Keyblade now covered in light, he began to rapidly hack away at the Unversed until it finally dispersed into a cloud of darkness.
Canceling his Limit Break, Roxas took a knee as the exhaustion from his previous battle caught up with him along with the poison.
"Curara." Roxas casted as he moved to a nearby fallen tree and laid against the trunk.
He was going to wait a bit to be fully healed before looking for a Moogle, Terra, or Aqua.
"I never expected to witness a fight like that. Hopefully you found what you you are looking for my king?" The Unversed asked in amazement at the thought.
While the Mad Treant was the weakest of the strongest Unversed, the king had certainly improved upon it's biggest weakness and turned it into a great strength.
Though it had to admit the flaming poison was probably a bad idea.
Still that was impressive fight and it was curious about what the interesting human did with his Keyblade and the light.
Maybe it should ask it's king about that.
Speaking of it hadn't recieved q reply for it's king.
So the Unversed looked around the tree for it's king. Once it couldn't find anything it tapped into the hoard to get an answer.
It proceeded to let out a pain filled inhuman scream as it quickly shut off it's connection from the hoard.
"IT'S TOO MUCH! IT'S TOO MUCH! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" The Unversed screamed as the cacophony of voices from the hoard still rung through its very being.
Whatever happend to it had caused it to separate from the hoard and trying to tap into it would overwhelm it and kill it.
"Well screw them! I was planning on seperating from them anyway!" The Unversed spat out as the voices died down.
Now that it had developed a will of it's own it was now kind of an outcast among the more simple minded Unversed. It could think while the rest of it's kind relied on the barest matter of thought and their instincts alone.
Still it supposed that having the capacity of thought and through its interactions with the king it was definitely something that he had developed an interest in.
Almost as much as that interesting human over there.
Speaking of which it saw a Corridor open up in the clearing and immediately clambered up the tree to get a better view point.
The king had returned from who knows what.
It would ask him later.
As the main event he promised was about to begin.
"I have to say Roxas I'm impressed."
Roxas got off the fallen tree and summoned Oblivion. He attempted to track the source of the voice, but couldn't find it.
"You know a Limit Break, something that I thought that it was lost from the Keyblade wielders of this era." The voice said, shocking Roxas.
He barely snapped out it before he had to block a strike from a Keyblade!
"Granted I only know the technique itself since my older brother showed me. Bless his heart..." The figure trailed off, sounding a bit mournful at the end. But the force on his Keyblade seemed to inceease as he snapped out of it.
Roxas got a good look at the figure and was immediately worried.
He was about his height wearing a black and red organic bodysuit similar to the one Riku once wore. The only other piece of clothing on him was a dark glass helmet with a metallic silver outlining hiding hs head.
In his hands was a Keyblade withe the guard looking like a black gear with red outlining and the teeth were a half gear of the same coloration. The shaft was was a long silver bar with a small gear in the center and was wrapped up in chains and had a blue eye similar to the Master's at both end. Its chain was three voppery gears connected to a copper gear that was split in half at the end.
He couldn't get a reading on this figure with only one exception. His heart and he wisher that he hadn't.
It was to put it simply an abyss. No light whatsoever, filler with nothing but darkness and negativity.
The Nobody was wondering how in the name of Kingdom Hearts that this guy hadn't become a Heartless yet with how dark it is.
It took a second to sink in, but he remembered were he felt such negativity.
"You were the one who messed with the Mark of Mastery and the one I've been sensing around the castle." Roxas said, trying to surpress a grimce as the battle of strength was starting to agrivate the poison in his lungs.
"You are correct and allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vanitas. Amd so I don't forget, Esuna!" Vanitas said as he casted a spell at the end, curing Roxas of his poison.
After breaking away he checked to see that if he wasn't poisoned any longer and to check if this Vanitas didn't trick him. He was poison frer and confused in why he was cured.
"Why?" The baffled Nobody asked.
"It's quite simple really. I didn't wish to fight you with such a handicap so I was just waiting for you to heal. But now-" Vanitas said before he had to block a strike from Roxas.
"You talk to much, besides your Unversed was the one who poisoned me earlier." Roxas said, shooting a fireball at him.
Vanitas dodged and returned with a dark fireball of his own.
"Reflect!" Roxas casted as the fireball collided with the barrier, shattering it. A moment later the Nobody once again found himself in a blade lock with the masked Keyblade wielder.
"I suppose you are right, but that poisoning I admit was my bad. I didn't expect it go suicidal like that still you passed." Vanitas said as he broke the lock and started to engage in a clash of Keyblades.
"I passed? So you were testing me?" Roxas questioned as Vanitas briefly broke contact and casted a spell.
He came back and Roxas found himself hard pressed to keep up with the much faster advisery now.
"Still am, and I have to say that you are impressive for a Keyblade wielder of this era. If you are from this era?" Vanitas said, shocking the Nobody once again.
"How-" "It's quite simple, you aren't the only time displaced Keyblade wielder, although you have meet the other one." Vanitas interupted as he teleported behind Roxas and slammed him onto the ground.
Before he could do anythig, he found hims limbs bound by Unversed and tbe figure trained his Keyblade at his chest, dark energy trained at the tip.
"You might be right that I talk to much, but so far you are the only one in this era that interests me enough to talk so freely too. But you think too much and you are actively holding back. You can think about it later when you are alive after the battle. But you will only live if you stop holding back! Either you go all out or I'm going to end your life right now! So make your choice!" demanded, cleadly enraged.
With the fact that even if he used his regular Limit Break, the energy gathering at the end of his Keyblade was enough to possibly knock him out and leave him helpless at Vanitas's hands.
Seeing no chance of escape, Roxas summoned both Oathkeeper and Oblivion, stunningthfe masked Keyblade wielder and destroying the Unversed.
"No way, two Keyblades!" Vanitas said shocked.
He didn't have much time to figure that out as Roxas activated his Limit Break and pillars of light started to rain down all over the clearing.
"He knows Miracle Hour too? This just keps getting better and better." Vanitas said while teleporting away from any incoming pillars.
Roxas rushed towards him and landed a hit with Oathkeeper, before Vanitas teleported behind him.
"Slowga!" He casted as the spell hit Roxas square in the back.
Time slowed down to a crawl for the Nobody as the figure rushed over and began to attack.
Roxas tried to keep up, but combined with the spell and the Vanitas's blinding speed there was little he could do. The only thing keeping him away was the occasional pillar of light striking down caused him to teleport away and return a second later.
This continued for what seemed like a long time for the Nobody before the spell's effect seemed to wear off and managed to block the Vanitas's Keyblade. Roxas managed to disarm him and started to land a few hits before being sent flying by a few orbs of dark energy.
Vanitas resummoned his Keyblade and began to counterattack when a barrier appeared around Roxas.
The masked Keyblade wielder tried to pull back, but a massive pillar of light crashed down onto him.
"Curaga!" Roxas casted from within the barrier.
He knew that the Limit Break was about half done and wouldn't hold Vanitas for about that much longer.
But that would give him enought time to heal and go all out against him.
He would need to after all, because after he revealed both of his Keyblades the figure saw no reason for restrqint and Roxas mqnaged to gauge the full strength of his heart.
It was as strong as Sora's heart.
More specifically about as strong when he faced Sora.
So in order to win this fight he needed to go all out. Something he wasn't entirely sure that his body could handle it.
He couldn't remember at all how he was never able to use his full power to after he left the Organization, but once again he probably chalked it up to Xemnas's manipulations.
The only times he has ever used it was against Riku, Axel in the virtual Twilight Town, and Sora within his own heart.
The last one was the only time he had unleashed all of his power, but he was lacking a physical body at the time. So there was no telling how unleashing his full power would do to his body.
At best there would be no problems at all, at worst it would burn out his existence like Axel did.
So he would cut it off once he felt his body reaching its limits just in case.
The barrier fell and Vanitas rushed out, only to be pushed back by a new barrier of rotating light pillars.
He teleported out of the way as the pillars went everywhere. When he reappeared he saw a streak of light reach up into the skies. Once it had reached its apex, it broke apart and the pieces came down upon the edges of the clearing and changing their surroundsings into that of a perpetual sunset.
Vanitas didn't have anytime to admire it as he engaged in another blade look with Roxas.
"Well consider me impressed Roxas. Not only can wield two Keyblades and have master two Limit Breaks, but you can manipulate the light to such a degree that it literally changes the landscape around you. You have passed the test, but that doesn't mean that this isn't done yet." Vanitas said as his Keyblade was soon covered in darkness and pushed the Nobody back a couple of feet.
The masked Keyblade wielder rushed foward and began another clash of blades. This time it was more even with Roxas's Keyblades providing a small edge against Vanitas. This continued on for a bit before he found an opening and slammed Oblivion into Vanitas's helmet.
Vanitas was sent flying back a few feet before crashing into the dirt. He tried to get back up, but was flattened by a pillar of light.
He teleported out of rhe way of another pillar before sending a barrage of spells at the Nobody.
Who blocked all of them with another barrier of pillars. Once the onslaught of spells wore off, Roxas sent the pillars all around.
Vanitas teleported out of the way, only to be slammed into by Roxas who was coated in light.
He got back up only to be struck agai by Roxas. He dodged out the way, only to be hit again.
Only this time the Keyblade went through him.
By the time Roxas realized that he had just struck an after image it was too late.
"Slowga!"
Roxas was hit by the spell and Vanitas went on the offensive.
He managed to lay in a large number of hits before the spell wore off and a large number light pillars crashed into Vanitas.
The masked Keyblade wielder quickly recovered and barely managed to dodge Roxas speeding after him.
He could barely teleport out of the way as Roxas kept speeding after him or sending lights pillars his way. After what seemed like a solid minute of dodging, he found an opening.
"Stopra!" Vanitas casted, as the spell hit its mark and froze Roxas in time.
Vanitas rushed in to strike, only for the spell to were off and a surprised Roxas to block the attack.
"What!" Vanitas shouted, shocked that Roxas managed to shake off the spell's effect like that.
Seeing Roxas returning to the offensive, he knew just what to do.
"Hasteza!" Vanitas casted and soon he disapperaed from sight.
Roxas was then blind sighted by attack he couldn't see. Before he could regain his composer, he was struck again and sent to the ground.
Everytime he tried to get back up, he was blindsided by Vanitas who was moving faster then what he could see.
Worse still, he could feel his power was starting to eat away at his existence. He needed to end this fight now.
He summoned a few pillars and sent them in random directions and one of them managed to hit Vanitas, causing him to reappear. Taking this chance he summoned another barrier and started to gather light into his Keyblades.
Vanitas tried to break through the barrier as the clangs against the pillars were of any indication, but that proved ineffective.
Eventually the spell wore off and a panting Vanitas appeared, with dark energy charging off the end of his Keyblade.
"So that's how you are planning on ending this Roxas. Well then so be it. You better hit me with all you hot otherwise you'll regret it!" Vanitas declared as three black crystals appeared around the Keyblade's tip.
A few moments later both Keyblade wielders were done carging their attacks and Roxas attack first, launching two massive beams of light from his Keyblades.
Vanitas countered with a massive beam of darkness.
Both attacks meet each other head on and held there for a few seconds before the Roxas gave out, cuting off his powers before it could damage his body too much.
He crumpled down to the ground and barley missed Vanitas's attack as it sailed over him.
The same couldn't be said for Vanitas as his attack ended and was hit with the full force of Roxas's attack, kicking up dust throughout the clearing.
After a minute of lying in the ground, Roxas got up while coughing all the way up.
His skin felt raw, his lungs were full of dust, his knees felt like they were close to shattering, his head was ringing, and he was pretty sure that he saw a few wisps of steam coming of his skin.
Other then that he was pretty much alive.
"I really need to work on using light like that." Roxas groaned out.
Maybe he could ask any of his friends for some help training with light, ghat way he wouldn't burn himself out when using his full power.
"You definitely need some work on that, if you were just a bit stronger you could have knocked me out." Vanitas groaned out from the vanishing dust cloud.
"You have got to be kidding me." Roxas sighed out as he tried to resummon his Keyblades only for Oathkeeper to appear.
The strain of going all out had almost drained him completely. He could barely stand, wield only one Keyblade, and was almost out of magic.
The odds didn't look good for him.
Considering that only part of Vanitas's helmet was cracked open revealing a golden eye and a lock of black hair and that he only looked exhausted didn't help at all.
"If it is of any consilation, that hurt like hell. Still I have to admit that your control over light would have impressed the Foretellers. Bless their hearts." Vanitas sighed out, launching two dark Blizzards at the Nobody.
Freezing his legs and binding his arms together.
"You know what, screw the plan. I'll just do it right now." Vanitas said gleefully, with a sadistic gleam visiable in his eye. "But tell you what, I'll allow you one question. Any sudden moves or the question is about what's next then you won't like what'll happen next. You still won't, but you will be alive for at least another minute. So ask away."
Roxas would've been worried, jf he didn't have a plan.
Or that he sensed a familiar presence approaching them.
All he needed was to by sometime.
"Alright I do have one. I take it that you are from the Age of Fairy Tales, but how are you here then?" Roxas asked honestly.
"That one I can honestly answer." Vanitas said while slowly approaching the Nobody. "It was Ava, she gathered hundreds of the younger Keyblade wielders before the war into a sixth Union, the Dandelions and placed them into a world mainly cut off from the rules of time and space. I simply found a way out 5 years ago and couldn't get back in."
That shocked Roxas, and if the feeling inside of him was of any indication Ava.
For Roxas it was the fact that there were actually hundreds of Keyblade wielders out there somewhere, all of them from a bygone era.
For Ava, t must have been that Vanitas must've been one of the Keyblade wielders that she selected turned out like this.
"Well that is all I'm willing to share." He said, snapping Roxas out of his shock. "Say goodbye to your existence."
"I'm afraid not. Water!" Roxas casted, sending a stream of water directly into Vanitas's exposed eye.
He screamed out in pain and Roxas managed to quickly get his arms out witha small flame.
Vanitas eventually recovered and with his helmet fully restored, rushed at Roxas.
"Blizzard!" He casted, freezing Vanitas in place. Roxas began to pant heavily and dropped his Keyblade. He had run out of magic.
Vanitas however still had plenty of energy left and shook of the ice encasing him.
"Did you really think that would hold me Roxas?" Vanitas asked dryly.
"No, that was just to distact you." Roxas said with a smile.
Before Vanitas could asked, something rammed into him and kicked up a ton of dust.
A minute later as the dust settled, he was freed from the ice and someone caught him before he could collapse into the dust.
"You alright Roxas?" Terra asked while setting the Nobody down.
"Out of energy and exhausted, but otherwise alright." Roxas said between breaths. "But you should be more concerned with Vanitas over there."
"Actually you don't have to worry about me for now." Vanitas groaned out.
Both Roxas and Terra turned to see the masked Keyblade wielder pulling himself out of the pile of downed trees he crashed into.
"I'm pulling back for now. I know when that I'm in no shape to face the both you right now. But know this Roxas, you will be seeing me soon enough." Vanitas said, before a Corridor of Darkness opened underneath him and disappeared into it.
Roxas let out a sigh of relief now that was over for now. But now he had an another ancient Keyblade wielder interested in him, one that appearently can control the Unversed.
He could worry about that later, now all he wanted to do was to rest as black spots started to dance around his vision.
"Roxas do you mind explaining what has happened here and why are you seperated from Aqua?" Terra asked.
"I will, but can you allow me to rest for a bit?" Roxas asked the eldest apprentice.
After a few moments of thought Terra nodded and with a small smile Roxas slipped into unconsiouness.
"My king are you alright?" TheUnversed asked Vanitas as they watched as Terra guarded Roxas incase he tried anything else.
"Im exhausted, but otherwise fine. But I'm not going to rest for now. I have to do a few things here before reporting to the old coot. Anyway I want you to stick with Roxas for now and shadow him till we meet again. Do you think that you can handle it?" Vanitas asked.
"I will make sure that he will never leave my sight. So you can count on me my king." The Unversed said while bowing.
Vanitas just nodded and disappeared into another Corridor of Darkness, leaving the Unverse to watch over the Nobody.
With the chapter over you find yourself back in the room with the author.
*Welcome back guys, I hoped that you all enjoyed this chapter.*
*Anyway there is a few things that I would like to say before we end the chapter.*
*First is that if that this is only the begining of a long series of conflicts between Roxas and Vanitas. If you want to know how long...well that will be spoiling what I have planned so you all will have to wait to find out.*
*Next is that the next chapter will be out when I complete Kingdom Hearts 3. That chapter will cover Roxas training with Terra, multiple worlds, revealing one of the surprise harem members, and a few things going on all over the worlds. So it will be a long chapter and I hope that will all enjoy it.
*Finally before moving on I have one announcement.*
*I plan on writing a Kingdom Hearts/ Familiar of Zero story later this year as a way to continue the story that origionally lead me to this site, A Heart in the Void. A story that has seemed to have sadly deen discontinued like so many great stories on this site. So I will be writining my own story to honor it.*
*But I need some help as I admittly haven't read the manga or have seen the anime before. All I have to go on is secondhand info and what I can gather from the site. So if someone can just point me in the right direction and tell me how long does the anime aligns with the manga that would be a great help to me.*
*Any that is all for now.*
*If you have any questions at all let me know through review or PM and I'll try to get back to you.*
*So until next time, ciao!*
