Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Aislinn uses Power Aura
Aislinn uses a combo

 

"Yeah! Rain down the light!" Hikaru said, as he followed Stratos' Faith spell with his own.

Hikaru used Faith.

 

"There is no waiting to see who wins. Hughes is going to destroy himself and Shiro with him. Save Shiro damn it! Just do whatever you can! Try! That barrier was going to collapse on them and we can't stop that from happening, Hughes can crush himself to death for all I care, but we have to do something!" Karina turned and yelled at Aeira. She wasn't willing to just watch Shiro die right now. She had to do something. She had to do something useful, since she felt like she hadn't been. Hopefully Arctus was at least doing as he was asked, she would hate to deal with a crying child. ​

 

With the combined effort of everyone in the SOS, the stormbringer was growing more and more overwhelmed. With explosive results against both arms, the head was being occupied with powerful spells and Beuce leapt into the air. "This is it! The last blow!" Beuce said, channeling both the dark power from his job and the aura of light into his strikes as he flew toward the storm bringer's face and delivered one final strike with Synchronous Gale, splitting the head in half. A giant stream of light echoed into the air as a flash of every strike was made with his final combo. Finishing the combo, he smacked the heartless in the face with a final slash as light began pouring out of it. As if the raw amount of spell power was causing a chain reacting inside it's body, the heartless exploded in a flash of light, leaving the battle field empty.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Black coats continued their efforts in breaking the shield, the dome began to shrink more in size. Their efforts were only decreasing the time.

Hughes scoffed as he awaited their demise. "Face it Fujioka, I've won. At the cost of my own life, but still... You spent so much time worrying about others that you've forgotten about yourself. You've wasted too much energy. Now we're both going to be crushed by blades of wind. A fitting end for a fool like you."

(NEW APPROPRIATE MUSIC!)

"You're right. I don't have a lot of energy left. And most of that energy could've gone towards defeating you myself. But if you thought I was going to let those children fight alone. Then you don't know me at all!"
Shiro released Hughes and back away from him as he began to gather more energy from his aura.

(Music at 20 seconds in)

"Level Two! Cyclone!" Shiro's aura increased as he begin to spin about with increased speed, bashing away at the wind dome's walls. The intensity in his eyes grew stronger with every hit
"Weren't you listening maggot?! You can't force your way outta this! You'll be losing oxygen in minutes. You're just delaying the inevitable. Just do the right thing for once in your life and die with dignity."

"I'm not trying to break it! I'm gaining momentum!" He called back as he continued to hack away at the wall with his keyblade. Hughes' eyes widened as Shiro cried out and hit the dome with all his might. The dome was receiving large impacts of energy but still wasn't budging.

"This wall is only as strong as you made it. Which means the force I output to break it just has to be stronger than you." Shiro cried
"Well I may be old, I know I'm still stronger than you, boy."
"You could very well be more powerful, but you aren't stronger!"
"What that heck does that mean?" He watched as Shiro continued to attack before realizing what he was doing.
"Are you... you're not trying to reach the third level, are you?"
Shiro remained silent as he continued to unleash several commands and attacks on the walls of the dome.
"Oh god, you are..." Hughes laughed harder. "This is a whole new level of pathetic. If your own mentor didn't have what it takes, what makes you think you do?"
Shiro stopped attacking to take a breath before turning around and attacking Hughes. The two engaged in very powerful swordplay as Shiro was increasing his attacks, growing faster and faster. More than Hughes could keep up with. Shiro with a serious tone on his face instead of his usual smile. "You don't get it." Shiro spoke as they clashed.

"You asked me what the difference between strength and power was. Well I'll tell you. Power is a force. Something you use as means to an end. But Strength. Strength comes from within. A drive. An ambition that allows you to grow and fight to the bitter end." Shiro's eyes began to glow white, removing his pupils entirely.

(Music now at 2:05)

"You may have fought in more battles, and fought tougher opponents. You can torture and manipulate to your pleasure. But all that is meaningless without the will to fight for something greater. My strength doesn't come from my muscles or your training. It comes from them. My friends and allies. As a wise man once said..."
A giant gust of wind began to form around Shiro.

"They are MY power!"
"Impossible..." Hughes said stepping back.
"Wind Aura:Level 3! JUDGMENT DAY!"
Shiro crossing his arms over his chest building wind energy before letting them out in a huge surge of power.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Wind began to encompass Shiro as it was cutting the air all around him. The dome halted from shrinking as it began to crack. Like too much water pressure in a tank, the wind barrier began cracking like a snowglobe and eventually shattered open, as a gust of wind pushed back everyone accept for Shiro and Hughes. With the two of them confined in the vortex, Shiro began to slowly rise from the ground, as if being risen
by the wind itself. Shiro took his keyblade and pointed it at hughes.
"All the push ups in the world mean nothing compared to the strength of the heart-" He stepped forward as he loomed over his former mentor.
Hughes scoffed again. "Oh shove it up your-"
A giant blast of air pushed back Hughes as he flew through the air at break neck speed. Hughes smashed against a rock pillar as his limp body hit the ground. The wind around him scattered and destroyed any remaining heartless as Shiro slowly descended back to the ground. His body spent from battle. He fell to his knees, unmoving.
Dispersing Sprinkles, Mizu immediately ran to Shiro's aid.








The battle is over.

Aeira did as Karina asked her to and started to find a way to get Shiro out. Shiro had his own plans though, as he started to pound on the barrier. With interest, Karina watched what he was doing, listening to the conversation. It was quite the interesting thing that was happening in there and without power to do anything against it, all she could do was watch. Finally wind started to expand and burst open, after a lengthy yelling. The barrier burst and Shiro collapsed as Hughes went flying. She didn't need Aeira's permission to head towards them. Ignoring the hurt man that she had been trying to protect, Karina walked over to Arctus. "I am just borrowing this for a moment considering you have failed your mission I had given you." Karina then slipped the sword from Arctus's hand.

Stalking over, Karina had a feeling that he was already dead, but Karina needed to just make sure. Taking the sword she stabbed it through the heart of Hughes. "I am done with you. And this." She took her whip blade out and threw it on the lap of Hughes, before turning around and walking away from him, not looking back at the man as she moved back to Arctus handing him back his sword quietly, in a grim manner. Her mind was rather muddled with things of the past. She didn't feel better after killing Hughes, but she felt like she could move on at least, she at least hoped so. And it looked like she was going to be down to punching things for a while, she wasn't taking back that damn whip again. She couldn't, no she wasn't going to hold anything that reminded her of those times, it was stupid for her to have taken it in the first part.


With one last set of attacks the giant Darkside finally fell, just in time to hear some loud noise and turn around to see the man who was summoning the heartless on the ground, the girl who brought the extra help standing over him. Meanwhile the loud man was on the ground being tended to by a small girl. This was a little confusing to her, but Aislinn slowly approached and gathered with the others. She was smiling, but a little worried about what was going on now. There was no point in her getting involved at this point, but she could at least watch and be ready if she was indeed needed. ​

 

A large of pool of blood spilled out of Hughes mouth. He chuckled softly as he hacked more blood from his mouth, his back leaning against the pillar. His body unmoving and his chest in agony. The great burst of wind had broken his body and Karina had destroyed his organs. He was running on empty now. "That feel good little girl? Beating a beaten man?" He coughed up more blood as he looked up and smiled. "I just want you to remember that I kept smiling. Even in a soldier's death, the biggest pride I take is knowing you still can't do it alone..." His eyes motioned to the rest of the group. "Actually... my biggest joy in death... Is knowing that you're all oblivious... to the.... traitor..... among.... you....." Hughes head hung down as he had passed on. His body slowly fading into darkness, leaving nothing behind.




Meanwhile, Mizu was using a cure spell as well as she tried to add to Ananta's healing to revive Shiro. Shiro still wasn't moving as both mystics gave it their all to revive him from his knockout. Mizu stopped healing as she looked to see if Shiro moved at all. "Shiro?..." she asked, starting to well up. His head hung down on his chest as he was still on his knees.
"Please don't die.... please...." tears began rolling down her cheek as a sullen silence filled the air. After giving his all, Shiro was spent. His body was completely drain and he wasn't moving.

Shiro was dea-

"SWEET TOASTED POPTARTS THAT HURT!" He cried out as his head swung up. He fell onto his back as he began to slowly breathe.
"Shiro, you're alive!" she cried hugging him.
"OF COURSE I LIVE MS. MIZU! I WOULD NEVER LET SUCH A RUFFIAN TARNISH THE REPUTATION OF THE ORDER!" His arm flinched a bit. "I WAS ATTEMPTING TO RAISE MY FIST IN JOY, BUT IT APPEARS I CAN'T MOVE MY BODY." He looked over to Kaida. "LADY KAIDA, PLEASE JOIN US A MOMENT! THERE ARE NOTES WE MUST COMPARE!"
Mizu looked back. "Yeah, I could really use a refresher course too. I woke up, and all I know is that things are bad now. Yue and my sister are still missing. Lea too!"
"THAT'S ALARMING INDEED. YOU HAVE RIGHT TO WORRY. IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE IS TARGETING US."
"Well what do we do? Should we call Krowley?"
Shiro sighed. "YOU TRULY HAVE BEEN GONE A WHILE. KROWLEY HAS BETRAYED US. HE WAS THE REASON CENTRAL HAVEN WAS TAKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE."
Mizu stepped back. "What?! Why would he do that?!"

"Because he's a monster," Aux said. "That's not even Krowley in control. Just the embodiment of my grandfather using him as a vessel."
"AHH, THAT'S VERY INFORMATIVE YOUNG MAN. I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN INTRODUCED."
Hikaru prepared to stop his friend from speaking, but it was too late. "Name's Aux. What of it?" Hikaru facepalmed as he knew what would come next.
"Aux the traitor?!" Mizu asked. While he was from their homeworld, Kaida and Krowley were the only members of the order that Aux was acquainted with.
"VILLAIN!" Shiro tried to move to apprehend him with no avail. "MIZU QUICKLY; SUBDUE HIM FOR ME!"
Mizu quickly summoned a smaller version of Sprinkles that grasped Aux in it's hands.
"NOW... WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH YOU?..."
