The Final War, Light Vs Dark

Gexln's double lay on the ground for a second, dazed at the kicking which had just been delivered to his hind quarters. He got up in time to see her charging a massive black orb. That looked like it wouldn't be pleasant. Energy like that generally tends to explode when thrown. So...What if something were to set that off prematurely? Taking his keyblade, he hurled it spinning right into the center of the dark mass, hoping it would detonate above his opponent.


R dodged the katana enough to avoid a direct hit, yet still took a cut to the arm. A black liquid ran down the side of it like blood. He didn't take much note to the pain, but instead shot his empowered Dark Firaga at the projection up in the air. The spell itself came with a homing feature, so that made it a bit harder to avoid. In all likelyhood, she would block it, leaving her open to attack momentarily. He hurled his spear straight at her, in hopes of taking advantage of this temporary opening.


Xindai had nearly forgotten how strong his power of suggestion was within this mental realm. One little sentence and already her iron will was bending. 'You don't really believe i was in that forest by chance do you? R set you up. He said you were useless to him, so he staged a rescue. I rob you of your heart, and he valiantly risks himself to preserve you mind, thus securing your loyalty and possibly getting you a bit more control over the darkness. To think, it actually worked too. You turned against your own family out of loyalty to the man who wronged you worse than anyone.'


"Oh i was just punched okay..." He said quietly. Apparently this kid was his son. I know in that last post i was said he must've had a sexy dad, but not even Beuce realized what an understatement that was. Plus apparently things were bad out there. Summoning his own keyglider, he got on it. "Kid, i been riding these things since you were a twinkle in your dads eye. my eye. whatever. Think you can pass up your old man?" He jeered, revving his glider and taking off out of the cave which was apparently the safest place ever for healing.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm editing this into the post, but what's wrong with your face? it looks like someone just drew a little red X on it in paint."​

 

​

Sabell saw the firaga launch toward her and she straighted herself out as she landed and let out a battle cry as a tornado suddenly surrounded her. The firaga was caught in the vortex and eventually created a tornado of dark firaga, but it soon extinguished as a spear was shot through and hit Sabell through her right shoulder.

Sabell stood there for a moment rather shocked that R had actually hit her from within the tornado. Blood ran down her body as she stood there with wide eyes. Sabell grabbed the spear and slowly pried it out of her shoulder and eventually ripped it out. Blood practically spilled to the ground as she was able to take it out and she then simply threw the spear to the side. She looked at R with a rather disturbingly relaxed smile and taunted with her hand saying, "Come at me.."

​

Xero was just about at full power when suddenly she saw the Gexln replica throw his Keyblade at the orb. It hit the orb dead center and black electricity began to rapidly spark around the orb. Xero's eyes widened in realization and fear. The orb was going to prematurely detonate. Xero acted as quickly as she could, flying a bit into the air and proceeded to launch it, but instead of the projection, she launched it in the direction of the spire that Xindai was on. It was too risky to launch it as close to the target she originally had.

Xero then looked to the projection with annoyance, "Just DIE!!!" she shouted as she took her scythes and levitated for a moment. She stood in a certain position, with both scythes aimed downward at Gexln and crossed over each other. "You mean nothing to me..." Xero reminded herself that it was only a projection and not the real Gexln. The runes on her scythes began to glow a bright green.

As the runes glowed, Xero's body began to glow as well, her golden wings changed to a black color. Xero closed her eyes and uttered a prayer in a different language, "...Als ich diese Macht zu nehmen, werde ich akzeptieren, Zerstörung, und ich will auszulöschen... " After Xero spoke those words, everything around her began to feel heavier like there was pressure coming from the power she suddenly began wielding.

The scythes suddenly began to glow a bright light and the light began to travel up her arms. Xero opened her eyes, they glowed a white light and the light around her arms faded and revealed giant claws that almost looked mechanical.

​

Valinton suddenly manifested behind (the real) Gexln with a very stern but almost lifeless expression. He grabbed his neck with his demon hand and threw him to the ground behind him and pointed his katana at Gexln as he was on the ground.

 

Gexln was in the middle of dispatching the keyblade wielders, taking them down with great speed, when suddenly he was grabbed at the neck and thrown to the ground, extremely hard. He rolled over quickly onto his back and found himself staring straight into the eyes of a Valinton projection. To him though, it looked almost identical to the Valinton he had helped in Timeless River, the one that had seemed to befriend Kaya. "Another trick of Xindai's.." he grumbled. In the attack, Gexln had dropped Darkness' Sorrow, so he could only stare helplessly at the projection of Valinton and wait for him to make a move.


Juliet could only watch as Valinton grabbed Gexln and threw him to the ground. To her, this was a slight shock. In her eyes, the man who had seemed to be helping people earlier was now trying to kill her father. With a low growl Juliet leaped high into the air. As she neared the top, the girl reached out and grabbed onto the edge of the wall. Only moments later, she pulled herself up and glared at Valinton. He had a katana to Gexln's throat and was standing on top of him, as though he were about to kill him. Another low growl came from the back of her throat, shortly before she rushed towards Valinton.

"Get away from my father!" Juliet shouted out as she summoned her keyblade and then crash tackled Valinton to the ground behind Gexln. She then turned around and helped her father up, before turning once more to look at Valinton. Keyblade wielders were approaching her and her father from both sides now, but there was no doubt who the bigger threat was. "Father, rest. I can handle this" Juliet ordered.

In response, a slightly high pitched noise was heard, followed closely by the summoning of Gexln's keyblade. He bent down and scooped up Darkness' Sorrow and then held both weapons in a ready position. "If you think I'm going to sit out of a fight with someone that just threw me to the ground, think again" he answered. The battle coming would be tough even if he were at full stamina, which he wasn't, but he wasn't about to let Juliet risk her life for him. He stood in a ready position, merely waiting for Valinton's reaction.​

 

​

Valinton was suddenly tackled but he was able to recover quickly and he only have the two Dark warriors an almost blank stare as if the tackle didn't faze him at all. Valinton then unsheathed his second katana and looked dead straight at Gexln. His expression may have showed nothing, but his eyes had bloodlust within them.

Valinton then jumped high into the air and as he descended, he threw dark firagas at Juliet as a distraction and then landed in front of Gexln as he quickly slashed from below and then from above with his other katana. If Gexln deflected/blocked/parried his attacks, Valinton then would quickly roundhouse kick Gexln and try to stab him.

 

Gexln was shocked when Valinton was unfazed by the tackle his daughter had just performed. Had he been uninjured it wouldn't have surprised him that much, but to not be fazed even in the slightest? Definitely unexpected. Upon seeing Valinton jump up and perform his two slashes, Gexln's first instinct was to block the attack. The first strike was blocked with Darkness' Sorrow, the second with Midnight's Venture, and then it hit him; Valinton was one step ahead of him. This was made obvious when the roundhouse kick came for the Nobody. Gexln twisted his body out of the way of the kick with relative difficulty, but the stab was a different matter.

Try as he might, Gexln could not avoid the stab completely. He maneuvered his body out of the way for the most part, but he did feel the thin katana pierce his skin, making a long, skinny cut along the side. A sharp cry of pain came from Gexln's mouth, who was not used to being injured so badly, as he collapsed onto one knee, his fatigue seeping in ever quickly. He took a deep breath, however, and stood up. He was down, but certainly not out. Firing a dark firaga at Valinton now, he then followed it up by leaping over Valinton, and attempting to swing both blades at the warrior's skull.


Juliet had to move quickly to avoid the dark firagas launched at her. With a swiftness that would have made even her father seem slow, the girl danced and leaped out of the way of many of the dark firagas, and simply blocked the rest. The tactic had worked though, and to Juliet's horror she could only watch as the blade pierced her father's skin. A silent gasp came from her mouth, out of both worry and surprise, but thankfully her father stood up and retaliated with his own attack; something that showed he still had plenty of fight in him.

Juliet felt quiet rage bubbling up inside of her, created by the fact that Valinton seemed to have betrayed them and also for the fact he was trying to kill her father. "Leave my father alone!" Juliet yelled out, rushing forward and attacking the moment Gexln's dark firaga hit, so that Valinton was being attacked by three strikes simultaneously; one from her, and another two from her father. Juliet was striking hard and fast, using her rage and determination to empower her swing. ​

 

High up in the sky, along with the dark figure, floated a woman. She had just arrived on a keyglider of her own and was watching calmly as a boy that had the same green hair was racing a man with white hair. She chuckled at the spectacle and turned towards the dark figure. "I don't suppose you came to simply watch the theatrics, did you?" she smirked at him, shaking her head. Crossing her arms, she placed two fingers over her chin as she continued to watch. "I must say, the race was fun to watch. Do you know the feeling when you watch your child having fun? His laughter?" she was speaking to the dark figure still. "I tried to not intervene for such a long time. However, things have changed and not for the good. I ask, are you on my side or their side?" she pointed to the large illusion that was just over the cliff.

Long away, in a room full of armors and prizes of lore, Natana was waltzing towards the Helm of Hades. "Is this it? This should not be too hard..." she spoke. Slipping her hand into a small pouch on her backside, she pulled out a rubber glove. Tightening it on her hand, she carefully reached inside and grasped the Helm of Hades. It clinked against the lightning and did not want to come through. Setting it back down, she scratched her chin. Grasping a lightningbolt, she carefully moved it and set it down on the cloud flooring. She did it three more times to ensure there was plenty of room. Thus, she removed the Helm of Hades and walked over to Enox. "I believe this belongs to Hades." she smiled at him, placing the Helm of Hades in his hands.

Watching Beuce race off, Anta touched his face when he mentioned his scars. Snarling at him, his zoomed right out of the cave and caught up rather quickly. "You're just as obnoxious now as you will be!" he kicked at him. He aimed to cause Beuce to slow down. Reaching the end of the cliff, he zoomed right over to Dawn and Dusk. Stopping, he waited for Beuce to arrive. Looking down, he saw Dusk knocked out. "What's wrong, is he alright?" he asked, worried. The barrier encased them again, as Anta showed signs of being tired. He stooped down low to examine Dusk.

​

 

​

After watching the spectacle below, the dark figure turned his attention to the woman. It didn't shock him that someone knew he was there; eventually someone would notice a floating entity if it stays long enough. The shadow turned to her and regarded her as he had previously regarded the battlefield: cold and distant. He then turned and stared off towards the illusion beyond the cliff. "Neither," the dark figure replied, his voice hollow. "I am merely my own... here, I am a spectator, watching the progressions of history unfold. Should I choose, I could throw both sides into chaos... or I could quell the battle by stepping onto the battlefield. However, it is not my place to intervene as of yet." He explained. The dark figure did not seem to boast about his power, merely stating it as a matter-of-fact. As if to accentuate the point, he extended the spell he had cast upon himself. It was heavy and dense, something that should have sent him spiraling down and breaking him. "Why are you here?" He finally asked, before giving her a chance to respond. There was no anger, no irritation in his voice. Nothing but emptiness came from this dark figure.

 

Enox took the helmet that Natana managed to take from the Lighting Shield. Rubber gloves, an oddly convenient method. Why she was carrying them was a curiosity, but nothing Enox needed to have knowledge of. "Very good girl. Lets go." He turned to exit the room, however things were going to get much much worse...

Sleeping on his cloud, the god of gods twisted and turned, having a feeling that something dreadful was going on right underneath him. He awoke and gave a powerful yawn, one that made the heavens shock with lightning. The god rose to look below. He saw Enox, Caleb and Natana all walking out with the Helm of Hades. With a great yell, a bolt of lightening stopped the gang from moving further.

Turning his head, he noticed that Zeus had awaken... Now they were going to have to find some way to beat him and escape. "Looks like we have a battle that will be hard to win. I you have any surprises, now is the time to show them!" Enox yelled at the two.

"how dare you steal from the treasury. Those within are not meant for mortals. You will give them back!" Zeus roared.

"Not planning on it, I'll take down a god if I must." He summoned his keyblade. "Volt Aero!" A cloud of wind surrounded he and the other two. There were slight sparks coming from them. "This should protect us somewhat from his lightning attacks, now lets fight."


Dawn gripped her keyblade tightly, ready to give the final strike alongside her uncle. "Time to die!" She forced all her strength into the final shot with Eric right next to her.

One gave a quick white flash of light. His body began to disintegrate rapidly. Black smoke rose from his body, seeping into the sky. A screech came from him, one of unimaginable pain. With another flash of light, all that remained was a heart that slowly turned and darted away into the sky.

With that finally done, Dawn landed onto the ground, her legs collapsing. She was breathing heavy. It was unlike the training their father had given them. It was the thrill of life and death.

 

The woman looked at the being as he spoke. She nodded at his response to her question. Taking a seated position in the air, she crossed her legs and looked as he spoke his own question. "As of now, I am not needed yet. Though, fairly soon, I will have to leave you. You see, the boy down there with green hair? That is my son and he will be far tired to fight longer. After assisting him, I will head towards the large castle on the other side of the cavern and attempt to get down to the source." she peered over at said castle. Everything happening over there was making her even more curious as time passed. "Ah, in fact, I must leave you. I apologize, sir. I hope to not fight a gentleman such as you." she spoke, descending rapidly towards Anta and the rest.

Jumping at the lightning bolt, Natana shook all over. Turning towards the god, she saw Enox cast some sort of barrier on her. Scoffing, she looked at the god, Zeus, standing before them. "I am not afraid of you." she spoke curtly. A pool of darkness formed at her feet. Natana dipped into the pool and reappeared behind Zeus. Her hand formed into a dark claw of energy as she aimed to stab the god in his back. Holding back her arm, she thus struck the god. Instead of stabbing him, her claw left deep, dark gashes in his back. They oozed of darkness, welting into dark gashes that blooped dark purple goop as the god moved.

Anta watched the final attack decimate One. Throwing his body over Dusk to protect him from any residual effects, he looked up to see Dawn landing a bit away. He ran to her, still not releasing the barrier around Dusk, and pulled her close as she collapsed. He sighed heavily as she had finished doing what she could do. Looking at her, he smiled. "You did good, Dawn. Really good. So good, I don't know what good is anymore." he joked, chuckling a little. His crystal blinked around his neck in a familiar glow, as his eyes widened. Looking up, he saw someone he hadn't seen and missed rather dearly.

Landing on the ground beside Anta's barrier, the woman leaned down to press her hand on Dusk's forehead. She rubbed it tenderly and smiled at his appearance. "You look so much like your father at your age. The resemblance is quite uncanny." she muttered under her breath. Standing again, she shook hair out of her face as she walked towards Anta and Dawn. Anta ran towards her and hugged her tightly. "Hello Darling, I see you're doing well. I hope the battle hasn't been too hard on you?" she commented. Once Anta let go, she leaned down to Dawn and hugged the girl tenderly. "Dawn, sweetie, I saw what you did. I'm so proud of you. Your mother would be even more proud, I'm sure." she smiled at the girl, kissing her forehead.

Anta had ran towards the woman and exclaimed "Mom!" as he made impact, hugging her as tight as he could. He had tears in his eyes, from missing her quite dearly. Listening to her, he shook his head and wiped the tears away. "No, no, I'm fine!" he smiled at her, as goofy as his father would smile. Watching her move over to Dawn, he walked back to Dusk and sat next to him. His eyes blinked slowly, as the barrier began to blink out. His head was nodding heavily as he fell over beside Dusk. The barrier was barely there, but it was doing it's job the best it could. Anta fell asleep.

​

 

​

The dark figure remained silent, though he had listened. The words went into the dark recesses of his mind, a place to remember such information for future events. When she had said her good-bye after some time, the man continued to watch. "You will only know despair," the man said after she had left, his cherry blossom eyes glazed over with a memory of sadness. "In the end, all shall know that their god has come; and in that knowledge, in that wisdom, despair shall become the driving force for extinction." And with that, he summoned a dark corridor, vanishing from the battlefield.

Not long after stepping into the dark corridor, the dark figure appeared upon the cliff, staring up at the castle. "Soon, you too shall know that your fate is drawing near," the dark figure remarked, as though speaking to the individual within the castle. "For not even Time shall allow a pretender to succeed." The shadow drew in his power, tightening it around his person. The ground beneath his feet tore away immediately as though a weight had dropped, and the debris began to float around him as if drawn into a field.

 

​

Valinton used his demonic arm to block the dark firaga Gexln threw at him. It then soon absorbed the firaga and took the darkness and empowered him. As soon as he saw the small explosion of fire dissipate, he suddenly saw Gexln come at him, his two weapons already attacking. Valinton quickly bent his upper body backwards to dodge and he came back up with another upward slash at Gexln. He then quickly ducked down to sweep at Gexln's feet.

Then he saw Juliet run toward him and begin attacking him with multiple blows. Valinton parried with her attacks, still no expression forming on his face as he did all of this. Juliet's attacks came faster and harder but Valinton stood his ground and kept parrying with Juliet. Eventually used one of his katanas to deflect her blow and throw her off, once he saw this opening he slashed with a downward diagonal strike. Valinton then kicked her in the stomach to knock her backward.

 

Caleb stopped for a moment. They were about to fight a god over an object that Caleb had no idea who it actually belonged to. First Enox wanted to mess with the dead, and then he was going to try to steal from a god? He shook his head silently. "Enox, Natana. You'll have to forgive me. I may be many things, but I am not a thief. If you want to steal something to help mess with fate, then you're going to have to do it without me" he said to them. Caleb then looked up at Zeus. "Fight them off if you must, but don't kill them. Despite what it seems, they're only doing it to help someone else" he stated. Without another word, a keyblade glider was summoned and Caleb hopped onto it. "When you have learned to accept fate as it is and not try to change what has already been written, then you will again have my protection, Enox" he said, before shooting off out of Olympus, leaving the world, and heading back towards the keyblade graveyard.


Gexln managed to block the strike, but the sweep caught him off guard. He fell to the ground once more, but found the ability to quickly get to his feet. For all his exhaustion, he was certainly still fast. Tasting blood in his mouth now, Gexln made a dive forward, only to spring off one hand as he dropped his keyblade, flipped himself into the air, re-summoned his keyblade and came down crashing onto Valinton with both weapons coming down with extreme force from the sheer momentum of his movement.


Juliet was shocked at having every single attack blocked, but even moreso when she was kicked in the stomach back away from Valinton. The girl skidded along the wall, grazing her elbows and back slightly as she did so. She found her feet quickly, getting up almost as fast as Gexln had. One thing was certain; Valinton was going go be a challenging opponent. If she had to go much harder than this, she ran the risk of losing balance and having the chaos within take over, which was something she did not want. Juliet began spinning in place for a moment, before stopping and using the motion to create a whirling tornado of light energy, sent spiralling off towards Valinton. As it neared the warrior, Juliet gave chase, readying her keyblade for a horizontal slash should he find a way to protect himself from the tornado beneath his feet and the darkness Nobody on the other side of him.​

 

Kross straightened himself and turned, facing the group of five neoshadows. He narrowed his eyes and raised his keyblade."I won't fall into a coma again.."He said, a burst of orange light erupted from the tip of his keyblade and shot into their ranks. The magic hit one Neoshadow and exploded into a huge half-sphere of fire magic."Fire!"

 

Enox glared at Caleb. Leaving in the middle of battle for a reason that was misguided. He simply sighed. Natana and he would need to do something together against Zeus. "Lets go, Yggdrasil!" Armor formed around him as he charged the god of gods. Sadly the damaged both he and Natana did were little to none. The god was just over powered. What could they do to stop him and escape... escape... maybe that was the only option for them at this point.


Dusk laid unconscious as Ananta smothered him. Let the boy sleep.

Dawn simply blushed as Ananta complemented her. "Th-thanks godmother. I'm sure she would be too." She saw Ananta almost like her real mother, since her mother was gone and all. But there was still that void of her mothers absence. One she wanted filled so badly, but knew it would never come.

 

Ananta hugged Dawn a little tighter before patting the girl and letting her go. Standing there, she looked around at everything happening. Looking over at Eric, she nodded at him and then back at Anta. "Dawn, sweetie, if you can, please watch over Anta and your brother. They to rest! Oh, but maybe you need to rest as well? Here." she handed Dawn a small crystal in a bottle. Within the bottle, it floated on it's own. It glowed a faint green. "When you get far too tired to keep your vigil, open the bottle and it will cast a barrier around you. The barrier lasts for quite awhile. Plenty of time should pass between you and the boys resting for awhile." she turned towards the illusion. "I must head over there for now, be safe." she said to Dawn.

Walking towards the illusion castle, she felt a strange presence grip her mind. Looking at all the fighting going on, she decided to try and avoid it for now. Stepping inside the halls of this castle, she stopped to sit behind a pillar and rest her mind. It was swirling with thoughts that were not her own and she didn't like it at all.

Natana watched as Caleb left. Skipping back from a blow Zeus launched at her, she gritted her teeth and soon called out, "COWARD!" to Caleb, with as much venom in her voice as she could muster. Turning back to the god, she listened to Enox express how much they needed to escape. Keyblade disappearing, she grabbed Enox and hopped back. Her left hand glowed with a strange darkness. Grabbing the helm, she held onto it. Looking at Enox, she placed her fingers onto his chest and pressed in. Soon after, he disappeared from view, leaving only her hand floating, seemingly, in middair. Placing the helmet on her head, she gave a cocky smirk to Zeus as her hand glowed the same darkness again. "It was fun fighting, but we got to go now. Toodles!" she smirked, piercing her own chest with her fingertips and disappearing as well.

Now invisible, she looked towards where Enox was and reached her hand over to grasp his arm. If he was still there, she tugged him towards the exit. She began to explain what happened in a rather hushed voice. "This only lasts for thirty seconds, we gotta get going, NOW."

 

​

The shadow saw the turquoise haired woman run towards the castle. "So," the figure whispered to himself. "It seems the final chapter to this tale is at its advent." The shadow outstretched his hand, towards the heavens. "World..." He muttered, causing the heavy, thick air around him to center in the palm of his hand. A small black orb, the size of a marble, appeared, illuminated by a dark light. Dirt and dust began to float towards it, even the debris that was once orbiting him. "Break." The orb shot towards the sky, taking with it the debris and dirt and dust. The higher it went, the stronger it became, progressing to bigger debris and small clumps of land. And still it grew stronger. The gravitational pull gradually strengthened with each added mass. The sphere kept climbing higher and higher into the air, and soon it began to take on an astronomical shape. "The epilogue has been set... and now, to watch this chapter come to a close." Opening another dark corridor, the shadow stepped in.

The dark figure appeared behind the Dark Creator, closing his dark corridor. At the highest point of the castle, upon the spire, the Nobody could feel the power of Xindai's mind. Thoughts that were not his began to pound at him, but he put up mental barriers to keep them at bay, to keep them from overruling him. These barriers were of nothingness, of his own beliefs at which were merely his own reality. In a sense, these barriers were akin to large planets, slinging all sorts of extraterrestrial garbage into a new course.

Nihilism. The strength of nothingness allowed him to dismiss the mental attacks; but not without effort. His head began to throb with phantom pains, but he also dismissed them as merely temporary. Without his shell, everything moved at a slower rate, almost as though time had neared its stopping point. This, too, assisted him from being overtaken by the psychic bombardment.

"The end is drawing near, it seems," the dark figure remarked, his deep basso laced with what could only be an amused tone. He moved from his original position with abnormal speed and towards the corner, overlooking the battlefield. "Before you begin, I shall make note that I am not your enemy. Merely a spectator." The shadow adjusted his own gaze to the growing mass in the heavens. His spell would take some time to complete, but it was not worth noting. Not yet.

 

​

Valinton noticed Gexln dive forward and he attempted to stab him, only to see Gexln spring upward and for his blade to stab the ground. Valinton then noticed Gexln striking from above, he then tried blocking him with one of his katanas while his other was still lodged into the ground. As Gexln came in contact with the katana, Valinton parried with his Keyblade and Sorrow, but due to the amount of force Gexln put into the attack combined with the momentum, the blade on Valinton's katana shattered.

This was when Valinton finally made a slight expression of surprise as his eyes widened. Valinton then quickly attempted to move out of the way but was too focused on how his katana shattered to see the whirling vortex of light coming towards him. Valinton was blown off the side of the wall but luckily caught himself on the edge. He then quickly climbed back up only to see Juliet charging at him.

Valinton had no weapon, for his other sword was still stuck in the ground. He put his demonic arm up as some form of defense, and as Juliet slashed it, it made a pretty deep cut. If it were his other arm it would've been sliced off but the skin and muscle of his right arm was a bit thicker to cut through. Valinton flinched from the sudden gash that was now in his arm, blood splattered on the ground.

Valinton only looked at the two Dark warriors with a look in his eyes that said he was throughly annoyed now. His left hand began to glow a green color and brought it up to his right arm. The gash then soon closed and stopped bleeding. He knew a bit if healing magic, but only enough to cure cuts and gashes. Valinton cracked his neck and then looked back at Gexln and Juliet with a stern look.

A dark aura began surrounding his demon arm and the claws on his hand grew bigger and sharper. The aura around his hand had created claws for him to fight with now. Valinton then charged at Juliet and slashed at her with his blade like claws.

 

The projection looked up at Xero's newest transformation because she didn't have enough of those already. This one looked like it would hurt a bit...He honestly doubted that winning this fight was possible, so he'd shell out as much damage as he could before he went down. A dark aura radiated around him. It grew before collecting onto his body, then dispersed in a black light, Leaving Gexln in a solid black state with glowing yellow eyes. His weapons had disappeared, but were replaced with claws. He was extremely vulnerable in this state. Likely a single hit would be enough to do him in, but the trouble was getting that hit in. With blinding speed, he nigh teleported to Xero's location and delivered a massive flurry of open fisted punches.


R didn't seem at all surprised that Sabell was still fighting. As they were bound by Xindai's will, the projections would fight until the death, whether they actually felt pain or not. He could hear the cries of Sapphire, claiming that it had not been him who betrayed her. Xindai...He would pay for doing this to her. Thoughts insisting he had failed the girl pounded at the doors of his mind, but he fought them off. He looked around. Louvel couldn't hold off the soldiers much longer, and Gexln seemed to be having trouble with Valinton. He had to end his fight quickly if he were to aid them. He summoned two katanas and raced forward at Sabell. As he struck, a shadow projection of himself appeared above the girl and struck down before disappearing. Sustaining a full projection of himself for any more than a single motion took immense concentration. If he did, he wasn't certain he could fend off the mental assault on him.

He continuously struck at Sabell with considerable skill. As he near broke through her defenses, something caught his eye. The squad of the dark armies over by sapphire. She was in no position to defend herself. Without a second thought, he abandoned the fight against Sabell and deflected the blow coming toward the young girl. As quickly as he could, he slew the projection, but his fastest wasn't enough. No sooner had that projection fallen, he felt the teeth of a keyblade rend deeply across his back. He groaned in pain as the black substance which acted as his blood hit the ground with a splat sound. He turned and took the projection out, but the damage had been done.


The Dark Creator didn't seem at all surprised at the appearance of the feminine man behind him. He didn't even turn to look. Instead he simply commanded a group of about 5 mystics to form a barrier around him to protect him from the dark orb. Unflinching he stared into the explosion and responded to the man behind him. "Is that so, Lucrix?" Said the nobody. Even before the barriers within Lucrix's mind had been formed, he had been prying into their thoughts. Even now, it was a dam of twigs against a raging flood. It was bound to break. This man, he was just another pretender. However, perhaps a useful one.


Beuce was kind of surprised to see older Ananta show up. So that's what she'd look like in the future. It was...kind of disappointing honestly. I mean really, what's wrong with her right hand? It didn't really matter. He forgot all about her when he saw something red approaching them from the sky. He instantly knew what it was. However, he had no idea the horror that awaited him upon its arrival...​

Lucrix did not turn his gaze from the battlefield, watching intently. He did not remove his cowl or lowered the high collar of his cloak, wishing to keep himself anonymous. "Indeed," Lucrix replied to Xindai, not minding the idle chit-chat. Just as Xindai was attempting to break his mental barriers, Lucrix attempted to keep them up; he felt the prying hands of the Dark Creator dig vigorously for his thoughts. However, he saw no harm in using some of his thoughts as barriers, as well. Lucrix let out several images, images that may strike Xindai's intrigue. The first was a memory of his past, of his world succumbing to darkness. The second was a gloomy void, something unlike even those of darkness had ever seen. The third was of a familiar looking man in suspended animation, dusky tan-gray skin, black wings, black hair, and a hole in his chest where his heart once was. The fourth image was of Kingdom Hearts, surrounded by a vague, colorless light. The final image was a vague shadow, but certainly the outlines would strike the Dark Creator's memory.

Lucrix turned to Xindai. "In the end," he began calmly. "Everything shall become nothing. A series of events that you yourself have initiated can no longer be prevented. Whether you succeed or fail, the End of All Things is inevitable." Lucrix began to build up his new shell, condensing it. This would do nothing to the psychic assaults, of course, but Lucrix did not enjoy the immense freedom he felt of being unrestrained. The gravity around him was thick and dense, becoming skin tight.
