Chapter 26: Anti-Form
The sun began to set as The Titans relaxed in their famous Tower. Not much was really happening that day so they decided to spend some time to themselves. Terra's betrayal really hurt them all in some way, as they saw Terra as a really great friend and teammate and to see her turn to Slade of all people struck them all on a personal level, especially Beast Boy, who would spend some nights sleeping in Terra's room. Sora always felt bad every time he walked past Terra's empty room and he would hear Beast Boy's dog whines. He wished there was something he could do or say to help cheer everyone up but there wasn't much to say in words for this kind of situation. But he could definitely create something should help everyone.
"And done!" Sora announced to himself. His Thalassa seashell charms were finally finished for every Titan: Robin's was a combination of red, yellow, green, and black colored shells with a red gem in the middle and his symbol painted on one of the shells; Raven's was a dark blue and black combo with a dark blue gem and a raven's head painted on; Cyborg's was a white and light blue colored combo with electrical circuits painted around them, a blue gem in the middle and Cyborg's red eye; Starfire's was a mix green, purple and orange-reddish shells with a green gem in the middle with a starbolt painted on one of them; and Beast Boy's was a mix of purple and green shells with multiple animal paw prints painted on them and a green gem in the middle. And finally, Sora's charm was a mix of blue, black and brown with his crown necklace painted on and a blue gem in the middle.
"This should lift everyone's spirits up," Sora said, about to gift them to the Titans when suddenly the alarms lit up. "Oh, not now!" Sora yelled before running out of his room, leaving the charms on his desk. He ran into the Ops room to see The Titans and Stitch looking at the computer. "What's the problem?" He asked.
"Doctor Light is attacking the city again. Titans go!" Robin yelled as they ran out of the room, leaving Stitch alone.
(Downtown Jump City)
The Titans arrived on one of the streets to see Doctor Light standing atop a flipped over car, wearing his suit from when he made Raven mad, but now he decided to add a long white cape to it as well. He was blasting at other cars that came by as he cackled manically.
"End of the line, Doc," Robin said, getting the doctor's attention.
"Ah, the Teen Titans. I was wondering when you would show up," Doctor Light said.
"Ooh, liking the cape Doc. Where'd you get it?" Beast Boy asked.
"The thrift store!" The Doctor yelled before firing a blast of light at them, making them all jump away as Doctor Light continued to fire at them. Robin moved out of the way of one of the blasts before throwing two explosive discs at the criminal but the Doctor fried them both before creating a whip of light and launched it at Robin. The whip wrapped around his leg before the Doctor threw Robin through one of the building windows. Cyborg pulled off a car door from its hinges before sneaking up behind Dr. Light and bashing him to the ground.
"Who knew car doors could be so handy?" Cyborg asked. But the Doctor quickly recovered as he flew up into the air and fired a powerful beam at Cyborg. He tried to use the car door as a shield but the beam cut through the door and hit Cyborg in the chest, burying him in the ground. Starbolts suddenly bombarded Doctor Light as Starfire flew launching bolt after bolt but as the dust cleared, it revealed Doctor Light protected by a light shield. Beast Boy came rushing in transformed into a lion as he swiped at Dr. Light with his claws while Starfire kept launching Starbolts but the Doctor's form suddenly dissipated into light particles before exploding, knocking Starfire and Beast Boy away.
"You will never defeat me this time, younglings," Doctor Light said when he was suddenly blasted by fire. He looked up to see Sora leaping for him with keyblade at the ready. Doctor Light created a shield and blade as the two clashed with Sora bashing away at the light shield while the Doctor tried to strike with his small blade but Sora managed to block and dodge. Sora eventually managed to break the light shield and bash Dr. Light away. Sora went on the offense again but Dr. Light's form once again scattered into light particles and exploded when Sora touched it, knocking him to the ground.
"Is that all you got boy?" Doctor Light stated when suddenly Raven appeared behind him, now being tall and having dark tentacles appear from her cloak.
"He has me," Raven said, trying to scare him like last time.
"No, not again!" Dr. Light said in terror before blasting Raven with a light beam, knocking her to the ground. Doctor Light continued to blast at her, making her take cover behind one of her shields but it started to crack. "You won't get me again witch!" Dr. Light yelled.
"Raven!" Sora yelled as he got up from the ground. 'Haven't used it for awhile, but I can't think of a better time. Let's go, Limit Form!' Sora thought as a powerful burst of light erupted from his body as he outstretched his arms and legs.
"Ohohoho, Sora. Bad move," Sora heard in his mind as he recognized who it was.
"No! No, no, no, no!" Sora yelled as a burst of darkness overtook the light.
"Yes! It's my turn now!" Anti-Form yelled as darkness fully took over his body.
"NO!" Sora yelled as the darkness covered him. His keyblade suddenly disappeared and his eyes turned yellow as he went on all fours like a dog. The Titans looked on in shock and horror at what their friend has turned into. However, Dr. Light was too focused on Raven to notice, who continued to block the light beam.
"I will finish you here, girl!" Dr. Light yelled as he continued to fire at Raven's shield. Suddenly, two dark whips wrapped around the Doctor's hands, making him stop the beam as he was dragged towards where Anti-Sora was standing. He looked up in horror to see Anti-Sora looking at him with a crazed smile with fangs growing from his teeth.
"Hello Doctor," Anti-Sora with a hiss. Dr. Light whimpered in fear as he tried to back away but Anti-Sora crawled up to him as he looked closely at his face. "Tell me, what are you afraid of?" Anti-Sora asked as he looked into the Doctor's eyes. Dr. Light suddenly screamed in fear as he bared witness to every single thing that he was afraid of in life. It was all so rapid and vivid that the Doctor couldn't help but scream in terror as the white in his eyes changed to yellow. Anti-Sora stepped away as the Doctor continued to scream as he turned to face the Titans, who were still frozen in fear. "Hi friends," Anti-Sora said as he waved to them with hands which looked almost like claws.
"S-Sora?! W-what happened to you?!" Robin asked, terrified.
"It's like he's an entirely different person," Cyborg said.
"Correct, robot boy. Sora is gone and now I'll be running the show for him," Anti-Sora said as he walked closer to them.
"And who are you?" Starfire asked, scared.
"The name's Anti-Sora, princess and let's just say that I'm here to have some...fun" Anti-Sora said before suddenly disappearing in front of them. They looked around for a little bit when suddenly Anti-Sora appeared before Cyborg and kicked him a few feet away. He disappeared again before wrapping Beast Boy in one of his dark whips before raising him in the air and smashing him to the ground. Anti-Sora then turned to see Robin and Starfire behind him still standing there unsure of what to do. Anti-Sora than suddenly ran at them on all fours before leaping at them with claws at the ready when suddenly Raven's shield covered them, stopping him. He looked over in anger to see Raven concentrating.
"Sora, stop! This isn't you! You don't attack your friends!" Raven yelled.
"Your right he wouldn't but I would," Anti-Sora said before running towards Raven. She quickly dropped the shield and encased Anti-Sora in a dark sphere.
"Really?" Anti-Sora asked before pulling the sphere apart, freeing himself as he kicked Raven into the wall. Anti-Sora suddenly felt something wrap around him as he turned to see Robin's grappling hook around him as Robin tried to restrain him. He was about to go attack him when suddenly he was buried under pieces of concrete by the other Titans.
"C'mon dude get ahold of yourself," Beast Boy yelled. Suddenly, they heard laughter coming from the concrete when it suddenly exploded with dark energy, scattering the concrete and the Titans to the ground. Anti-Sora stood laughing at the Titans' attempts.
"C'mon if Sora couldn't hold me back, than how on Earth can you?" Anti-Sora asked. Suddenly, all the Titans sprang up and tried to restrain him but he managed to evade them before climbing up a nearby building and jumping off it as once again he created two dark whips in his hand. He then used them to bring Starfire back down to the ground, creating a crater under her. He then wrapped the whip around a piece of concrete and threw it at Robin, who quickly took cover. Suddenly, Cyborg tried to grab him but Anti-Sora simply sank into the darkness before appearing behind Cyborg and drop kicked him into a wall. Beast Boy jumped in as a small monkey to distract him but Anti-Sora managed to grab him and throw him into Robin's face, knocking him to the ground. All that was left was Raven who was too reluctant to hurt Sora.
"What's wrong, Rae? Too afraid to hurt Sora?" Anti-Sora remarked as he teleported in front of Raven. "Well don't worry. He's safe inside his own heart and right now he's screaming for me to stop doing all of this. But you'll never hear him again," Anti-Sora said with a smirk.
"You sure about that?" Raven said before suddenly grabbing Anti-Sora's face, making him scream in anger as Raven's eyes glowed white.
"Raven!" She heard in her own mind as her eyes returned to normal. Anti-Sora backed away as he held his head in pain before blasting Raven into the wall with a dark blast. Anti-Sora roared before leaping up to one of the buildings and started climbing up to the roof before disappearing from sight. Raven looked up at the roof in concern.
"Sora..." Raven said in worry.
"So, does anyone know what just happened?" Beast Boy asked.
(Later back at the Tower)
Stitch was cleaning up the Titan's kitchen to make sure the home for the heroes was all taken care of. He always made it the first priority to clean the kitchen as soon as he could since he knew that the kitchen was where the celebrating party would be. What he means by that is when the Titans come back from a long day fighting crime and spend the rest of it cooking a huge meal for everybody. It happened occasionally and one or two of the Titans would help him out but when they all left, he had to clean everything up. But he didn't mind, to him it was better than doing nothing like Beast Boy when he had to do the chores. Stitch was about done when he saw the Titans enter into the Ops Room. He ran up to them about to jump on them when he saw Sora missing and the Titans looking down.
"Where is Sora?" Stitch asked them.
"Uh, something happened to him tonight, Stitch and we're not exactly sure what," Cyborg said. Stitch looked at them in confusion.
"You mean he turned into a dark creepy animal thing with yellow eyes and claws and tried to destroy us!" Beast Boy yelled as he imitated Anti-Sora as he crawled around the floor and ceiling on all fours. Stitch looked on in shock and horror at what they described.
"Anti-Form!" Stitch said before suddenly running off.
"What is an Anti-Form?" Starfire asked.
"It's Sora's darkness," Raven said getting everyone's attention. "It's his darkness personified that takes control of him if his anger gets out of control like it did tonight. He told me that when Terra first arrived that his darkness broke free and started messing with him. He tried to keep it under control since then but it looks like it finally got out today," she said.
"Is that why he's been acting differently lately?" Cyborg asked and Raven nodded in agreement.
"Why didn't he tell us about this? We could've helped him," Robin said.
"He was worried about how you guys would react to it. He thought that you guys might contain him or something like that," Raven said.
"Wait, how do you know about this if we didn't?" Beast Boy asked. Raven looked down before taking a breath.
"He told me on the night when Kitten got him to dance with her. He told me why he was acting differently and when it started happening," Raven said.
"And you didn't tell us!" Beast Boy asked.
"It was his secret to tell not mine. And he told me because I know exactly what it's like to keep something like that under control. To keep his emotions in check like I do every single day, of course he would trust me with that," Raven said.
"Enough, please! Raven, did Sora say anything about how to bring him back?" Starfire asked.
"He did say that he could change back if he's knocked out or if he runs out of energy but I'm not sure how we're going to catch him," Raven said when suddenly Stitch came running in holding a small journal. He held it up to Robin who took it and opened it.
"It looks like he kept a log for every time it appeared," Robin said before reading. "The first log says: 'I can't believe it came back after all this time! I thought after doing the Mark of Mastery and then coming to gain my power back would have gotten rid of it but it looks like I was wrong. *sigh* I remember when it first appeared and Donald and Goofy were straight up terrified of what I turned into. I, of course had no idea what happened since I tend to black out when it appears or get pushed to the back of my mind. They said that I was an animal and that darkness took over me. I still can't believe that it appeared here, I just hope that I can contain it before it actually breaks free.'" Robin said.
"Wow, he's dealt with this before?!" Cyborg asked.
"I'm not too surprised," Raven said. Robin continued to read.
"Log two: 'It happened again today when Cyborg fought with the robot, Atlas. It didn't really do much besides talk to me but nothing serious. Just trying to keep track in case I do turn and I can't explain myself. I don't want them to think that I suddenly just went evil on them without any kind of explanation so guys, if your reading this, then just please try to understand. Even someone like me has darkness within them and even I struggle to control it.'" Robin read.
"Wow," Beast Boy said.
"Oh, I worry for Friend Sora for his horrendous torture by the Anti-Form. I wish he could've trusted us with this," Starfire said worried.
"Log three: Well, Raven knows. So does Stitch but he already knew when I first found him back in Radiant Garden. After I freaked out again against Kitten and her spider boyfriend, Raven questioned me when we were dancing about what's wrong with me and I decided to tell her. I figured she would probably give me the best advice to control Anti-Form so I thought why not. Raven also made me promise that if Anti-Form got more out of control, that I would tell the others. I just hope that they'll understand if it breaks out," Robin read.
"Why didn't he tell us about this sooner?" Beast Boy asked.
"He must've thought it disappeared?" Raven said.
"I don't think so. Log four: 'Terra came back today and she looks like she's doing better than ever. I'm glad but something kinda felt off but I don't know what, probably something Raven told me. Anyway, Anti-Form came back today while I was fighting Slade and it seemed to take partial control of me. I was fighting and talking like it but I was still there. Slade tried to get Anti-Form to join but he clearly had no intention of joining that mad man. I should've told the Titans at that point but something's stopping me. I'm sorry Raven but I just can't," Robin read.
"Sora..." Raven said quietly.
"We could have helped him. I wish he came to us," Starfire said.
"Last Log: I still can't believe it! How could Terra betray us like that after we gave her everything she could want?! I just- I can't comprehend it! Anyway, I'm glad Anti-Form didn't go crazy as I thought it would but sill it appeared tonight which is still very concerning but I think I finally got it controlled," Robin read. Suddenly, the alarms went up as they ran to the computers and saw a situation in the city.
"It's Sora. It's got to be," Robin said.
"But how are we going to stop him?" Cyborg asked.
"I have an idea. I heard Sora when I reached into his mind. I just need to reach further in," Raven said.
(Later, in Jump City)
The Security Team were shooting at something in the dark when suddenly multiple blasts of darkness came flying out, making them take cover behind their cars.
"We need reinforcements now!" One of the men said. He was about to pull out his walkie when suddenly one of the cars was lifted into the air with Anti-Sora holding it in the air.
"Playing hide and seek huh? Can I join?" Anti-Sora asked with a smile as he tried to smash the car on them but they quickly moved out of the way. The dark keyblade wielder continued to fire at the security personal with dark blasts as they ran away but he quickly created a whip and wrapped it around one of the men's legs, making him fall to the ground. He started dragging the guard closer to him as the man screamed for help.
"C'mere!" Anti-Sora yelled. The guard continued to claw at the ground when suddenly a red birdarang came flying in and cut the whip, freeing the guard as he ran away. Anti-Sora growled as he looked behind him to see The Titans standing behind him but Raven was missing.
"Can you please just go away and let me have my fun!" Anti-Sora yelled.
"No, Sora we're not letting you deal with this by yourself anymore," Robin said. Anti-Sora was about to say something when he noticed Raven was gone.
"And where's dear old Rae? Didn't want to fight me huh?" Anti-Sora said.
"Oh, don't worry about her. We're all you have to worry about," Beast Boy said.
"Worry?! HAHAHA, you must be-" Anti-Sora said when he was suddenly blasted in the chest by Starfire's starbolts, knocking him to the ground.
"Release my friend! Now!" Starfire yelled before firing at Anti-Sora, who quickly dodged as he fired a powerful blast of darkness at her, though she moved out of the way as the blast hit one of the buildings. Anti-Sora once again, created a whip as he wrapped it around Starfire's waist before spinning her around and throwing her into Robin, knocking them down to the ground. Cyborg and Beast Boy came charging in with Beast Boy now a rhino as Cyborg rode on top of him firing his sonic cannon. Anti-Sora quickly put up a shield as the sonic beam pushed him back slightly. The dark being then stuck his claws into the ground as something traveled below the ground beneath Beast Boy as a giant burst of darkness erupted from the ground, knocking Beast Boy and Cyborg to the ground. Robin suddenly came in and smacked Anti-Sora to the ground with his bo-staff.
"Okay, let's play bird boy," Anti-Sora said, readying his claws as he lunged at Robin, who quickly moved out of the way as he continued to slash at him in a frenzy. Robin continued to dodge and block as he managed to kick Anti-Sora away before going on the offensive. Anti-Sora managed to dodge and flip out of the way before kicking Robin away. Robin quickly threw an explosive disc at Anti-Sora as he fell to the ground with the disc going off next to Anti-Sora, knocking him to the ground. Cyborg suddenly jumped in trying to punch him but Anti-Sora quickly moved out of the way, leaving Cyborg to punch the ground. Anti-Sora then spun around on the ground before kicking Cyborg's feet out from under him before kicking him away into a nearby wall, when he was suddenly bombarded by more starbolts, forcing him to take cover behind a dark shield before blasting at her with dark bolts. Beast Boy then came charging in as a rhino and rammed into Anti-Sora knocking him to the ground and in front of a nearby alleyway. The Titans surrounded him as they prepared themselves for anything.
"So this is your plan? Cornering me into defeat?" Anti-Sora asked. Suddenly, a pair of white eyes appeared from the alleyway.
"No, this is!" a voice said as Raven appeared from the alleyway and bear-hugged Anti-Sora, restraining his arms and legs.
"What the?! Raven, let me go!" Anti-Sora yelled, trying to free himself but Raven refused to budge.
"No, Sora, not this time!" Raven yelled.
"For the last time, Sora's gone. It's just me now!" Anti-Sora said.
"Then if your out here, then Sora must be somewhere in here!" Raven yelled as she placed her hand on Anti-Sora's head. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven yelled.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Anti-Sora yelled as Raven turned into a form of energy and was transported inside his head. Anti-Sora screamed in pain as he held his head. "Get out! Get out right now!" Anti-Sora yelled when he was suddenly blasted into the wall by Cyborg.
"Don't forget about us," Beast Boy said. Anti-Sora growled in anger before leaping for one of the buildings and climbing up it.
"Titans, don't let him get away!" Robin yelled as he pulled out a grappling hook and firing at the building as the other Titans chased after him.
(Meanwhile, inside Sora's mind)
Raven found herself falling in a dark void towards a circular blue platform that showed Sora sleeping and a bunch of other people around him, some of them being the Titans but others she didn't recognize. One was a young man with short spikey hair, another was a girl with short head, the third appeared to be a duck wearing a small hat and the last was a dog. She eventually landed on the platform which appeared to be made of glass.
"What is this place?" Raven asked.
"It's Sora's heart," a voice said, scaring her.
"Who's there?" Raven asked.
"Let's just say a friend of Sora's. You're here to help him, right?" the voice asked.
"Yeah, his Anti-Form broke out and now it's attacking everyone. Can you help me?" Raven said.
"There's not much I can do right now but I can lead you to where he is right now. There are other people in here as well trying to protect him," the voice said as a door belonging to a church appeared in front of her. "Just help him get past his fears and anger and you should be able to stop Anti-Form," the voice said.
"Thanks, whoever you are," Raven said before walking to the door. After struggling to open it for a little, the door finally opened with a blinding light as Raven covered her eyes and walked through. She suddenly found herself on another platform that was covered in darkness as she saw two figures wearing black coats trying to fight off multiple tendrils of darkness with keyblades as a young version of Sora watched on in fear as he was protected by a sphere of light. One of the figures who wielded two keyblades that were light and dark looked over at Raven as Sora looked over as well while the other figure continued to fight with Sora's keyblade.
"Raven!" Kid Sora said in happiness.
"Is she one of your teammates Sora?" The figure asked.
"Yeah, she's my best friend there!" Sora said in excitement.
"Good, get him out of here! We can't hold back the darkness much more!" The figure yelled as Sora's shield went down. Sora ran to Raven as the darkness headed straight for him but Raven quickly created a shield to defend him.
"Go back through the door. Don't come back until Sora gets his strength back!" The figure yelled. Raven nodded as she picked Sora up and carried him back into the open door. When she opened her eyes she found herself standing on a beautiful island with a smaller island attached to a bridge to connect them.
"Hey, we're home!" Kid Sora said as he ran up to the water.
"This is your home?" Raven asked looking around.
"Yup, we always came here to play after school or something," Kid Sora said.
"It's beautiful," Raven said as the smell of the ocean and sand passed through her nose.
"Woah!" a voice said behind them and they turned to see a younger teenaged Sora sitting in front of a girl his age with red hair and purple-ish eyes. Kid Sora smiled and started to run over.
"Hey, it's me and-" Kid Sora said but stopped when he saw the girl and his smile went away.
"Sora? What's wrong?" Raven asked as she walked up to him.
"Give me a break Kairi," Teen Sora said.
"Sora, you lazy bum. I knew I find you snoozing out here," The girl, Kairi said.
"Sora?" Raven asked the unresponsive child Sora.
"She's my best friend Kairi," Kid Sora said. The two teens joked about until another teen with silver hair appeared behind them.
"Hey, aren't you two forgetting about me?" The teen said.
"And that's my other best friend Riku," Kid Sora said. Raven watched as the three teens joked about for a little before going into a race. "This is where my journey truly began," Kid Sora said. Suddenly a bright light appeared before them as they found themselves now on a ship out in the middle of the sea.
"Now where are we?" Raven asked.
"This is Neverland, a place where I began to fly," Kid Sora said. Raven looked to see Teen Sora surrounded by pirate heartless and Riku standing above him on the upper deck.
"This is when I discovered that Riku sided with the Heartless to save Kairi when she lost her heart. I knew he was jealous of me when I found new allies and started looking for them on my own but I never thought he would go that far. I was so angry with him that I think that my darkness started to grow," Kid Sora said as once again another light came and Raven found herself standing on a floating rock in the middle of what looked to be rising water falls and a castle farther away.
"This is Hallow Bastion. The place where Kairi and the other Princesses of Heart were being held," Kid Sora said.
"Princesses of Heart?" Raven asked.
"Maidens from other worlds with hearts completely devoid of darkness. Kairi is one of them. That's what makes her so special," Sora said. Raven looked down at a platform to see Sora, a duck, a dog, and a giant creature on one side and Riku on the other. Riku suddenly stretched his hand out and the keyblade suddenly disappeared from Sora's hand and into Riku's.
"What?!" Raven yelled.
"It was originally his," Kid Sora said. "The keyblade was meant for Riku but when he chose darkness over light, it went to me," He said. Raven watched as the duck and dog soon followed Riku after he took the keyblade. "And Donald and Goofy were looking for their King at the time and were told to follow whoever wielded the keyblade," He continued.
"So, they just left you behind?!" Raven said.
"Yeah, I was angry at them for awhile but they managed to redeem themselves but it was Riku I was most angry at, at the time," Kid Sora said. Suddenly, they were in a dark void again as several more moments where it showed Sora getting angry at something.
"So many times that I got angry or scared at something but I was able to control. Now I can't stop it here," Sora said as he lowered his head..
"That's okay, Sora," Raven said as he kneeled down to his level. "I mean, we all have to let out our anger at some point in our lives and it looks to me like you've been keeping it in for a long time," Raven said. "But that also means stopping your anger from hurting anyone else, so we need to get your power back," She said.
"Right," Sora said as he held out his hand. He was suddenly surrounded by light as he reverted back to his normal form with keyblade in hand. "No more being scared of the dark," He said before shooting a beam of light into the void, cracking the area until it fell apart, revealing the shadowy platform again.
"Anti-Form! Come out, it's me you want!" Sora yelled. The shadows came together in a swirling mass of darkness before opening up, revealing Anti-Form, now brandishing a dark keyblade of his own.
"So, finally found the courage to fight me?" Anti-Form asked.
"I'm done being scared of you. Of my anger, of my darkness, all of it. Now I'm going to fight it," Sora said as he readied himself.
"Heheheh, good luck with that," Anti-Form said before charging at Sora as he charged as well. The two leaped at each other as light and dark clashed.
(Meanwhile, with the Titans)
Beast Boy was kicked to the ground as Anti-Sora continued to fight off the Titans, breakdancing on the ground constantly before lashing out and kicking or scratching them to the ground with its claws. Robin was trying to choke Anti-Sora out but he managed to kick him off. Cyborg activated his shoulder mounted missile launchers and fired at Anti-Sora but the dark version of his friend phased through them and scratched him off to the side of a building but he managed to catch himself. Starfire continued to rain starbolts upon from above so Anti-Sora leaped up towards her and tackled her into the ground. He raised his claws about to strike her when he suddenly clutched his chest in pain as he backed away from her.
"Argh, get out of my heart!" Anti-Sora yelled when Beast Boy rammed into him as a wild boar, knocking him off the building.
"Ah whoops," Beast Boy said. Robin got up from the ground as he ran to the edge of the building and jumped off, diving after Anti-Sora. He quickly pulled out two grappling hooks as he fired one at Anti-Sora and the other back to the top of the roof. The rope tied around Anti-Sora as the second rope hooked onto the edge of the building. Starfire and Cyborg quickly got up as they pulled Robin and Anti-Sora back up to the roof. After pulling him up, they noticed that Anti-Sora was passed out and was reverting back to his normal self.
"Is he…alright?" Starfire asked concerned.
"I don't know. He seems fine but Raven hasn't returned and Sora's not awake yet," Cyborg said as he scanned his friend.
"Let's get him back to the Tower. If Anti-Sora comes back, we don't want him hurting anyone else," Robin said as everyone nodded in agreement.
(Meanwhile, in Sora's Dive to the Heart)
Multiple clashes of dark and light echoed across the platform as Raven watched as Sora and Anti-Form fought each other. Sora swung his keyblade at Anti-Form multiple times but the dark copy managed to block or dodge the attacks before phasing through Sora and kicking him to the ground. Sora quickly got up before firing a thunder spell at it but it disappeared into the ground before it could strike him. He then suddenly appeared in front of Sora and struck him with its keyblade before blasting him with a dark blizzard, knocking him to the ground.
"Oh c'mon I thought you got your strength back? Or are you still depending on your new friends? Seriously, how is it after all this time that you can't best your own darkness?" Anti-Form asked with a smirk. Sora quickly got up as he readied himself again.
"I beat you before, I can beat you again!" Sora yelled as he charged again and struck at Anti-Form a few times with his blade before blasting him away with a Fire spell. Anti-Form got back up before creating two copies of himself and charging at Sora. Sora did his best to deflect and dodge but the clones were relentless so he quickly created a Reflect shield, pushing them back. Anti-Form and his clones suddenly lashed out with dark chains as they wrapped around Sora. Sora tried to break free but suddenly felt his energy draining.
"Yes, let your strength be absorbed with ours! Fall into the darkness!" Anti-Form yelled as Sora fell to his knees. Suddenly one of the clones was destroyed by Raven's blast, destroying it.
"He won't fall that easily," Raven said before firing another blast, destroying the second clone.
"Raven…I have an idea. I need you to head back outside and get something from my room," Sora said.
"What?! Sora, I can't leave you alone now!" Raven yelled.
"Just trust me. Now what you need to get are five stars made from seashells. When you find them just place them on my chest. Now go!" Sora yelled before breaking free from the chains. Raven slowly nodded before flying up into the void before disappearing from view.
(Back in the Real World)
Raven suddenly found herself back in the Tower with the other Titans surrounding her.
"Raven? What's going on?" Robin asked. Raven didn't answer as she ran past them and into the hallway towards Sora's room. She opened his door to see Stitch sitting on the bed in worry.
"Raven?" Stitch said.
"Stitch, where are the stars? Made of seashells?" Raven said. Stitch perked up with a smile as he leaped from the bed and onto Sora's desk as he opened one of the drawers and pulled out the five lucky charms. He then jumped onto Raven's shoulder and handed the charms to her.
"He made all of these for us…" Raven said as she stared at each one.
"Raven! Next time!" Stitch yelled as he lightly hit her head.
"Right sorry," Raven said as she ran back to where Sora was with Stitch on her shoulder. She found the Titans standing over Sora who was currently strapped down to a bed.
"Uh Raven, you gonna tell us what's going on inside Sora?!" Beast Boy asked.
"Sora is fighting his darkness but he needs our help. So, he told me to grab these stars to help him," Raven said as she handed each specific charm to each Titan.
"He made these for us!" Starfire said. Suddenly, the gems on the charms suddenly lit up in each of the Titans respected colors.
"Woah," Beast Boy said as he eyed his glowing charm.
"So, how do we help him now?" Cyborg asked.
"He told me to then place the charms onto his chest," Raven said. All the Titans nodded as they placed their charms onto Sora's chest as the light from the gems grew brighter.
"C'mon Sora. Come back to us," Raven said as she held Sora's hand as Sora unconsciously gripped hers.
(Back in Sora's heart)
"You see now, Sora? Your alone and you will never see the light again," Anti-Form said as the darkness nearly covered him.
"Raven," Sora said as the darkness covered his eyes. Anti-Form smiled to himself when suddenly a burst of light broke through the dark-covered platform. Five bright lights appeared on the platform revealing portraits of the Titans on the platform along with Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy.
"No, no, no, no. Stay out!" Anti-Form yelled when suddenly the darkness surrounding Sora cracked away revealing Sora, his clothes now white and black was now wielding the Oathkeeper and Oblivion keyblades.
"Your wrong Anti-Form. I'm never alone and no matter how deep the darkness goes, there will always…always be a light shining from it," Sora said as he readied himself. Anti-Form roared in anger as he created another dark keyblade and multiple clones before charging at Sora. The clones leaped towards him but Sora easily swatted them away. More clones tried to attack but Sora once again danced through with his keyblades releasing powerful bursts of lights and with him teleporting all over the place. With all of his clones destroyed, Anti-Form charged at Sora, striking at him multiple times but Sora managed to defend himself before blasting Anti-Form back with a beam of light. Sora suddenly teleported in front of his darkness and launched it into the air before striking at it from all angles. Anti-Form managed to escape the assault and charged again as the two clashed in the air over and over until Sora finally broke through it's defenses and rammed himself into it, sending them both crashing back onto the platform in a huge burst of energy. When everything cleared, Sora was back to his normal self, pointing his keyblade at Anti-Form, who was on his knees exhausted.
"You won't control me anymore. My anger is mine to control," Sora declared.
"Hahaha, good luck with that. Your anger, your fears, whatever you worry about I'll be there," Anti-Form said.
"Then why do you work so hard against me if you're a part of me?" Sora asked.
"Hmm, I don't know maybe because you lock me up every time I come out and when I do come out, you and everyone you know looks at me like I'm a monster when all I ever wanted was to help you be stronger. To overcome things life throws at you and become better. But when you lock me up and not even acknowledge the inner anger within you then yeah, I'll try to break free. Especially with Terra betraying you guys," Anti-Form said. Sora looked down in pity and understanding at his Anti-Form. He then kneeled down in front of it.
"Then how about we work together then?" Sora offered. Anti-Form widened his eyes before looking up at Sora.
"What?!" Anti-Form asked.
"Look, I always thought that all darkness was bad and should be eliminated which is why I always tried to limit myself from using you, cause I was afraid that you would attack my friends after beating the enemies. But after spending some time with Riku, I came to realize that not all darkness is bad, just the people who use it. But after everything that's happened that's led up to this point, what with me failing the Mark of Mastery, finding out that Riku and Kairi were in a relationship and Terra betraying us, I just kind of forget to deal with my anger and fears," Sora said.
"Which led to me becoming a bigger issue. Oh, what have I done?" Anti-Form said as he looked down.
"Its not your fault! It was mine, which is why I suggest we work together now to become better. What do ya say?" Sora said as he held out his hand. Anti-Form looked down in thought before looking back up at Sora.
"Well, its better than being locked up," Anti-Form said before grabbing Sora's hand as a bright light grew from them.
(Back in the Real World)
Sora opened his eyes to see the Titans looking down at him in worry. They all broke out into smiles when they saw him awake.
"Sora!" They all said before tackling him in a giant hug, crushing him.
"Argh, guys can't breathe!" Sora croaked out as the Titans let him go.
"You had us worry there man," Cyborg said.
"Is everything the alright?" Starfire asked.
"I think so, just let me test something out first," Sora said before closing his eyes. Suddenly, darkness coated his body as his eyes turned into an orange-yellow color. "Huh, finally came to an agreement," Sora said when he looked up to see the Titans armed and ready. "Woah, woah guys its me! I can control myself now!" Sora yelled.
"Oh yeah, prove it!" Beast Boy said. Sora shrugged his shoulders before getting up from the bed and walking up to Raven and hugging her, shocking the crap out of the Titans.
"If I wasn't in control, then I would not be doing this right now," Sora said. Raven slowly returned the hug as she looked into Sora's face.
"It's him. He's in control," Raven told the others, allowing them to calm down. "What happened in there? I thought you destroyed him," Raven asked.
"We…actually came to an agreement," Sora said as he explained.
(Later)
After explaining everything to the Titans, they decided that they'll go explain everything to the city about what happened, leaving Sora at the Tower for him to rest. He found himself standing in front of the mirror where he saw Anti-Form in the reflection.
"This is…strange," Anti-Form said.
"Agreed, I never knew I would make peace with my own darkness," Sora said.
"Eh, might as well get use to it," Anti-Form said.
"Ya know, I was thinking, we should give you a new name," Sora said.
"I'm not sure what else you could call me since I'm literally your darkness," Anti-Form said.
"Yeah but your also my anger, fear and whatever else I worry about, I'm just thinking you could use a new name," Sora said.
"Well, what did you have in mind?" Anti-Form asked.
"Hmmm, I was thinking…Ra-" Sora said when suddenly a knock appeared at his door. "Huh, I thought everyone left," Sora said as he opened the door, revealing Raven. "Oh hey, I thought you were with the others," Sora said.
"I wanted to stay, to make sure you were alright," Raven said.
"Oh thanks for that, I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm doing better. Just need some sleep is all," Sora said.
"Good, that's good. I just wanted to ask you something. When I was with you and you saw your friends, Riku and Kairi, you looked like your heart just broke into pieces. So, I just wanted to ask what happened, if that's okay?" Raven asked. Sora looked down in sadness as he remembered.
"Oh yeah, I might as well explain. Um, before I came here to get stronger, I found out that Riku and Kairi were in a relationship. I was happy for them at first but then it just started to hurt, since I also had some feelings for Kairi and I thought she did as well but…it looks like I was wrong. It still hurts every now and then but I've gotten over it," Sora said, making Raven sad as well. Sora's eyes widened when Raven once again hugged him.
"I'm sorry Sora. I truly am," Raven said.
"Aw, I like her," Anti-Form said in Sora's head.
"Thanks Rae, I really appreciate it. Oh, and thanks for bringing me back," Sora said.
"Well, if you stayed dark for too long, I would've knocked you out myself," Raven said.
"Oooh, I take it back, I love her!" Anti-Form said.
"Haha, I would've expected nothing less," Sora laughed. Raven smiled at the response.
"Well, good night Sora," Raven said before walking away.
"Night Rae," Sora said as he closed the door and walked over to his bed, making sure not to step on Stitch who was fast asleep.
"I don't care if I have to take control of you or not, we're spending more time with her," Anti-Form said.
"I'll be sure to do that, Rage," Sora said.
"Rage?" Anti-Form asked.
"Yeah, your my darkness and my anger. I can't think of a better name," Sora said.
"Huh, Rage-Form. I like it, has a good name to it," Rage-Form said.
"I thought so. Alright, time to get some sleep, I'm beat," Sora said before falling on his bed.
"Physically or mentally?" Rage-Form asked.
"Yes," Sora answered, making Rage-Form laugh as Sora fell asleep.
And that's it! Sora has conquered his darkness and the Titans have learned more about their beloved keyblade wielder. So, I know this took longer for me and I also know that's longer than the others but when it comes to making original episodes for the this it takes me longer to brainstorm everything so it sounds good for you guys, also I have been super busy as of late what with school and work and me learning how to drive. But I want to thank you guys so much for your patience and ideas and for that, I shall respond to your reviews:
Xytan: I actually had something else in mind for the fight between them but I really appreciate the suggestion.
Darkmaster10000000: Hahahaha, I have an idea for that Muhahahaha
IronPen1991: Yeah, sorry I completely forgot about how powerful Stitch was, so my bad. I'll remember the next time he's in an action scene.
Althea Sirius: That's kinda what I envisioned for Sora in this story. That he's the guy everyone can talk too.
Guest1: Sora/Raven, Robin/Starfire, Beast Boy/Terra, and now you guys know, Riku/Kairi.
Guest2: Most definitely she will.
Guest3: Now this chapter my friend.
Guest4: I'll think of something for Larry, not a bad idea though
Guest5: Sure thing but it won't happen until next season
Umbrans.w.a.t: That…is probably the best idea I've heard for Sora's season. I mean I had my own plans but holy cow that is a great idea.
Once again I want to thank you guys so much for the ideas and support. If it weren't for you guys, I probably wouldn't be writing this much, so thank you guys. Please review, please follow, and please favor and I will see you guys in the next chapter where Sora and the team deal with their version of Mr. Mxyzptlk! Until then, peace out guys.
