Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

"Alright then." Leon drew his Gunblade and slashed the air, preparing for the match. The Lionheart keychain jingled as the weapon moved.
---
"Well, it's better than trying to use a Dark Portal," Jeffrey said. "Who knows what affect that would have on Riku."

 

Eden wanted to smirk, but that was not a good option. She remembered Squall was one hard fight, even in KH1, and she had known little about him save for the one or two Final Fantasy games she gave a crap about. But again, she stared hard at Leon some more. Muscles to throw someone off, thick legs for stability, gloves for grip. What was going to be her first move? Obviously not glaring, but maybe her fire would help.
And so, the Wielder of Earth lit herself up like a Christmas Tree and awaited what move her opponent would do. She rather liked the opponent going before her, gave her time to think, strategize, one-up him as others would say.

 

"yep. Poor guy..."Valerie said. "Well glad to know you guys don't still hate him after your argument."Sora sighed in relief.
-*cues epic battle music for Eden and Leons battle*-
Yuffie was watching the fight, eyes wide in awe and excitement.

 

Making me make the first move, huh? Leon thought to himself. Holding the gunblade in one hand, he began to charge a Fire spell in the other.
---
"No, we were just tired and angry," Jeffrey replied. "Especially tired," he added, noticing bags under Valerie's eyes.

 

And.... Go! Eden rushed to the right with a sidestep, leg slightly buckling, but she used that to her advantage. By using her buckled leg as a spring, she tried running quickly on her toes, a faster way, but one that really got more distance. If she was lucky, and with a sidestep to the left, she could get behind Leon and elbow his ribs.

 

"Well, feel free to go to Rikus house if you need to rest. Here, I'll lead you guys there!"Sora grabbed Valerie and Jeffrey by the arm. "Rikus house? sweeet!"Valerie smiled.

 

OOC: Okay, i feel like a troll. Dad cut off the internet for the past three days, recap please(again)?

 

OOC:Well for your side they just got to Radiant Garden and Eden is sparring with Leon to train. Other than that nothign really happened on our groups side.XD
BIC:
"What are you guys doing here?"Sora turned around to see Riku. "Nothing. Bored out of our minds too."Valerie said. "Well, you're in luck. The preperations are all done and the festival should start tonight."Riku said. "Sweet!" "Awesome!"Sora and Valerie were both excited.

 

Leon shot the a small fireball at Eden's feet, hoping to make her flinch rather than hurt her. As soon as the spell left his hand, he gripped the gunblade in both hands and rushed towards her.
---
"A festival?" Jeffrey asked. "Cool."

 

The flame of Leons was incorporated with the large fireball Eden had became as she ran. She liked throwing her whole body into the fight, the flames were her defense. But, that didn't stop her from charging, side-stepping a bit too soon as she tried to elbow Leon in the ribs.

 

"C'mon, we should go. The suns setting."Riku said. "Alright!"Valerie jumped in joy while Sora grabbed Riku by the arm.
~(Festival introduction tiiime)~
"Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work. I know its been tough returning life to normal after the attack, but we managed to pull through!"The crowd cheered at the mayors speech, the group arriving right on time. "Now, as a reward for everyones hard work, I now declare the festival to begin!"The crowd cheered, music starting to play. "Alright! A festival. Does it have food? and games? and dances?"Valerie smiled. "Yes." "Maybe." "And yes."Sora and Riku said the last one in unison.
----------------
"C'mon Squalleon!"Yuffie was watching the spar, excited for her turn already.

 

Gexln chuckled, having followed Eden to the battle. "Such enthusiasm" he said simply.

 

Leon squinted at the bright flames that surrounded the Keyblade Wielder. After Eden had side-stepped too early for her elbow meet his ribs, he swung his gunblade at her Keyblade. I wonder how she'll responded - defensively or offensively?
---
"I'm gonna go get some food first," Jeffrey said, putting his hand over his stomach. "I'm starving!"

 

"Me too!"Valerie followed Jeffrey. "Me three..."Sora said. "You would've been able to have lunch with me and Kairi if you had stayed still."Riku said. Sora just stuck his tongue out, going to get something to eat. "Stubborn as a goat...."Riku sighed.

 

Eden had little time to ponder, trying to jump back defensively, only for her right leg to buckle again. With a few colorful curses, she circled around Leon again, flames extinguished.

 

"I found fooood!"Valerie had gotten some food, Sora and herself digging in. Everyone around them seemed to be having a great time. "Why did we choose a kid at heart for a best friend again, Kairi?"Riku joked. Sora gave the both of them his infamous mad glare. "I heard that!"
------------
Yuffie was still watching the fight, taking nots of Edens fighting style for when they battled.

 

Leon smirked and rushed towards the Keyblade Wielder again, this time slashing at her.
---
Jeffrey joined in with Sora and Valerie, glad to finally have a good meal.
"You know you like it, Ri," Kairi replied, giggling.

 

Eden decided to move forward on the attack, parrying the gunblade the best she could, not without getting nicked. She really didn't care, getting closer to go into her blazing inferno once more.

 

Riku nodded, giving a small smile. Suddenly the music playing changed, people starting to group together. "Whats going on?"Valerie asked, eating. "Oh, its one of the dances we know on the islands. I wouldn't call it native but-" "ooh, can we try?!"Valerie asked. "After we all have our fill."Sora said. "Which could be a while with Sora..."Riku said. "Hey!"Sora gave Riku a small look. "Oh, don't tease him, Ri."Valerie huffed.

 

Let's see how she reacts if her opponent's attack range increases. Leon put the palm of his hand onto the side of the blade and closed his eyes. A blue aura surrounded the gunblade, increasing its size as well. Quickly opening his eyes, he swung the now gigantic weapon at Eden in a horizontal slash.
