KH The Dark Realm: My Story Part 8


“Are you dead?”
“Nope.”
“Then get up and go.”
“Nope.”
“Go on I know you want to, it’s what you’re here for.”
“Can’t too tired.”
“You’re not tired just lame.”
“Okay, can’t too lame.”
“Oh don’t go quitting on me now. You’re the one they sent for and they hate to be disappointed.”
“Why do I care?”
“I don’t know. Why do you care?”
“’Cause it’s my job. I remember now that’s what I’m here for.”
“Him?”
“Yeah, Sora.”

X woke with a start. He was reaching into the air as if to grasp something.
“Do Nobodies dream? I don’t know nor should I care it’s only a figment of my imagination to begin with.” X got to his feet and walked over to his sword which wasn’t left buried inside of Seagle when he came back. X looked around the courtyard and decided to go through the fortifications main entrance. He walked into a vast, tastefully adorned hall. It was plain but the ornate decorations made the room seem almost elegant and well designed.
“I never thought it would be back here that the mission ended.” X said grinning thoughtfully.
“Well it’s a good thing you got here in time.” A voice boomed from the top of an elaborately decorated staircase on the far side of the room.
“And you are?” X inquired impatiently.
“I’m no clerk like Danso. I can kill most who enter this room.”
“Whatever.” X replied impassively examining a vase.
“Great another attitude problem, if it’s not Seagle it’s you isn’t it?” The man sighed thoughtfully.
“Great, now let me pass before I kill you.” X said looking briefly at the speaker.
“Very touchy are we? I can’t blame you though, you just killed your mentor I don’t think even a nobody could stand that.” He said descending the stairs. He was a young blade thin man with short black hair and two halberds slung across his back. He moved in a swaggering manner and didn’t seem to care where he put his feet as long as he made it to the next step. As a result he looked rather drunk.
“Who are you?” X asked his mild interest growing by the second.
“I’m Xanatos the administrator of this bloc. And now that Aurelia’s in charge of Section 12 I’ve been sent to deal with you by the top brass.” His low drawl was annoying but he had to be strong or else he couldn’t have been a Superior.
“Great. The last time I fought a Superior I nearly died. I may not finish this one Seagle.” X thought to himself.
“Alright I guess we should just cut to the climax and fight each other to the death and all, hm?” Xanatos drawled pulling out his two ornate weapons and twirling them in between his fingers.
“Alright have it your way.” X replied drawing his normal sword.

“Hey how did I get here?” Sora asked the eternal void in hopes it would answer. He looked around at the vast nothingness that had suddenly engulfed him during his dreams.
“I thought all this was over for now. I guess somebody’s up to no good.” He said righteously.
“Hello.” A voice sounded from behind him. Sora whirled around to find a wiry man with short spiked black hair walking toward him. He wore a smile on his face and an odd outfit. It consisted of a fitted shirt and vest and loose matching beige pants. He walked over waving cheerily like they were old friends. Sora was really confused at this point.
“Um, who are you?” He asked rather bluntly.
“Oh I’m here to start and hopefully finish a job I was hired to do. My name’s Solken and you’ve got to be Sora. Am I right?” He asked holding out his hand.
“Yeah. But how’d you know me?” Sora was really confused now.
“You are one part of the job I have to finish. The other is your heart.” Solken said still in that same cheerful tone, but his last words had a certain bite to them.
“What? What’s my heart got to do with any of this?” Sora was beginning to be afraid.
“I think you should know by now.” Solken smirked, pleasure inscribed on every feature.
“I don’t think I like you.” Sora said summoning the keyblade.
“Good!” Solkens face was crazed and menacing by now. He stretched his long arms out and pools of darkness formed behind his hands and began to swirl. Several moments later he closed his hands on some thing and the darkness dispersed revealing two intricately designed ebony tonfa. Each had blades on either side weaving in and out of each other. Solken bared his teeth like a wild animal and charged.

X leaned on his sword heavily. The hall was in ruins and X was in little better condition. His bones were ready to give way, his strength to give out. His breath was ragged and his vision blurred. His muscles ached and his mind exhausted. On the far side of the room Xanatos knelt in similar condition.
“You dead over there?” X called out realizing his mistake only after the pain shot up his side.
“I thought you were.” Xanatos chuckled before rolling over in pain. X knew he’d be finished soon if he just let himself fade away.
“No, not now. This is nothing!” X thought raising himself to his feet. His enemy followed suit and readied for the battle to continue. X switched out the original blade for Broad Edge and hurled the sword at his opponent with all his might. Xanatos blocked the projectile, not without difficulty though. As he began to move he was forced back. X had been traveling in the shadow of his own sword and used the extra blocking time to slip into the striking zone and kick Xanatos in the throat. He doubled over holding his neck convulsing as he tried to breathe through his collapsed windpipe. X watched him try to curse and disparage him but all his words failed him. X turned and hobbled his way to the stairs and sat there to rest.

“Is that all?” Sora taunted as Solken was left barely standing.
“No, I wasn’t supposed to fail, not here and now.” Solken choked out through his heavy breaths.
“You’re finished.” Sora leapt to deliver the finishing blow but before he could their was a brilliant light that stopped him. It emanated from a heart shaped mark that had appeared on Solken. He cried out in pain and faded into darkness.
“I only just figured out I could do that.” The voice resonated with power the very sound made Sora’s fix itself.
“What’s that? The keyblade bearer has nothing to say. That is beyond cruel, now I know that I’m Nobody if he can’t remember me.” The voice chuckled and the speaker appeared. It was a thin boy not much older than Sora if he was at all. He wore a raggedy old coat and had mid-length black hair with two defiant spikes radiating from the back of his head.
“Who are you!?” Sora yelled half angry half scared. He was getting a weird feeling from this guy. And it wasn’t right whatever this feeling was.
“I’m no one of consequence, you may call me X.” X said as he couldn’t help but smirk as he saw the one who had gotten him into this. The one who had set it all in motion.
“Alright X why did you just kill him?” Sora asked tensely.
“To see if I could do that move.” X replied emptily.
“Are you with them?” Sora asked edging away, to where he didn’t know but it wasn’t right to be where he was.
“I see your well. I can’t say the same of Allen, Sora?” X changed the topic to a more favorable one. He began to circle casually as not o let Sora away.
“Who?” Sora couldn’t help himself.
“My other, I think you may have known him. Heh. That makes this all the more ironic.” X paused and faced Sora.
“What’s going on?” Sora almost yelled.
“Just a failed experiment.” X continued pacing. By this time Sora noticed the ring of light that had fallen around them. He was at the middle and X was on the edge.
“Tell me where I am!” Sora was ready to hit this guy.
“We’re obviously in your heart. Always closer than you’d like to think. Always farther than you’d imagine. Oh well, I’m rambling. It really shouldn’t have to be this way Sora but at this point it’s you or me live or die. And for some reason or another I’d rather not die. I know it’s selfish but that seems to be all I have.” X seemed almost sorry but he knew he wasn’t. He was telling the truth but that didn’t make it any less vile.
“What? I thought you were…” Sora trailed off and knew it was time for him to fight. He resumed his fighting stance and waited for X to do the same. X sighed and raised his sword into a suitable fighting stance. Sora struck first to gain an advantage. X evaded all successive blows without even trying. Sora was dumbfounded, no one not even Xemnas had that kind of skill. X stepped forward and nodded as if to ask if that was all. Sora hurled his keyblade at x who easily evaded it and began a counter offensive. Sora summoned his keyblade and parried. They clashed several time but Sora was clearly losing. His movements looked feeble and clumsy when compared to the flashing blade work of X. Sora lost his balance and fell, totally helpless X held out his hand to help him up. Sora refused and got up on his own. They continued in spite of the inevitable, fated one may say, conclusion. Sora was getting desperate and he backed off for a second to gather himself. X let him and merely waited for his adversary to begin. Sora wasn’t sure but he thought he had one last trump card and if it failed he was finished anyways. He tried a drive and it worked. He attained Master form and now wielded Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He transformed into a master of swordsmanship and sorcery instantly. X wasn’t phased by the dramatic change in appearance but he summoned Honor all the same and held the sheathe in one hand and the blade in the other. They clashed but this time the match up wasn’t so uneven. The odds weren’t so stacked and the contest had become conceivable. X used his sheathe as both a shield and a weapon. Sora floated and sped about with ease as he jumped multiple times in the air. X was still unconcerned with the challenge. After several especially violent exchanges X retreated and sheathed his sword. Sora rushed in and began with an aerial assault. X ducked out of range and just as Sora landed he unleashed his attack. Sora easily blocked and countered only to find himself getting slammed into the ground by X’s sheathe. Sora rolled out of the way before X drove his blade into the ground and stood just out of striking range. Sora decided to take a different approach he leapt off to one side and began flying through the air casting thunder and blizzard spells. X attacked Sora but was blocked by the constant stream of powerful spells. X was losing he couldn’t evade every spell no one could and when he did get close enough to strike he was stopped dead by a blitz of fire. He was outmatched but not outclassed. X almost laughed to himself and attacked once more but instead of allowing himself to be pushed away by the flames when they clashed he slammed his sheathe into the back of his sword pushing through the fire and cutting Sora. Sora fell out of the air and reverted to his original form. The wound wasn’t grave as it was now spread over three people instead of just one but it wasn’t to nice either. A long clean cut crossed Sora’s chest from shoulder to hip. He gasped in pain and clutched at his side. X just smiled as if savoring his victory.
“So are you finished yet?” X asked in a superior tone.
“Heal!” Sora raised his keyblade and the wound closed but he was still tired and still finished. He got to his feet and defiantly raised his blade ready for battle.
“So your not done yet? Good I’d be almost saddened if you were that easily defeated.” X answered Sora’s challenge and lifted his sword as well. They clashed again and again. As Sora’s strength waned X’s seemed to grow. Sora was soon disarmed and at the mercy of his opponent. He closed his eyes and prepared himself. X seemed to reflect for a moment before he struck. Clang! Sora’s eyes slowly opened but it wasn’t Sora looking through them it was Roxas.
“Who the hell are you?” X asked lazily.
“I’m a part of Sora and this is our heart! You’re not welcome here!” Roxas yelled as he charged forward. Roxas clashed against X with all of his might. X was off guard and soon found himself retreating before the blows. Roxas gained confidence as he advanced and his blows became stronger. X leapt out of the war zone and collected himself.
“That’s not the same boy I fought before I’ll have to change up a little.” X thought to himself. He lowered his stance and sheathed his sword. He looked straight at Roxas and exploded off his feet with such speed Roxas only barely had time to block. The battle raged on until Roxas slipped, he had X’s position compromised and he alternately swung his blades downward with terrible force. X blocked with his sheathe and stabbed Roxas through his chest right where his heart should be. Roxas staggered back and slowly he faded back into Sora who fell to the ground unconscious. X walked over and chuckled to himself. It was over he had won.


So what'd you think? Be brutal I'm okay with it. Part 9 and maybe 10 coming out sooner or later. Any and all comments appreciated.
