[Wzrdto25]

Waterfall Castle


http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs30/i/2008/075/d/e/Waterfall_Castle_by_fstarno.jpg

The heroes appear in a castle at the edge of a waterfall. The castle is flooding with water and the entire castle is reinforced with Fairy magic. As the Castle floods the Heroes must find a way out of the castle but at the same time keep themselves in the battle. The rooms appear much bigger on the inside than outside. At the top of the castle a tower lies a dark wizard bent of not letting them continue. The only other way out is the caves at the bottom of the Castle, which contain grotesque monsters and creatures. Choose a path.

12 Remain, Share the Blame

[Chaser's Apprentice]

A break of silence in this luxurious palace proposed that her foes were expressing a method of mercy for her. Of course, the participants were all being eliminated one by one; there were only several still lingering in the competition. Sakura, however, was becoming hesitant in her every move; her senses reinforced themselves with a unique sensitivity. In her mind, she had to investigate every single sound, classifying each of them as dangerous or not. Each noise ricocheted off the washed out walls, making everything even creepier.

[Azure]

Zero growled as he now found himself in a new area...

He had advnaced in this tournament... somehow this did not bode well for the hunter. This sick game... it did not mattered in the long run, but the hunter knew that he needed to survive... unless he tried to die at the end....

The paths divided.... and Zero knew there were just 12 left... thus the hunter dashed quickly thoruhg the palace, taking the starirs to the rooms above, his buster rifle in hand as he tried to find a way out and to finish his fight with Megaman....

[Roxas 1994]

Omega-Xis cursed under his breath as he dragged the blue bomber around the castle. He hated being torn apart from a battle. Who ever was controlling this game was really ticking him off. The alien wanted to find Zero as soon as possible now. But MegaMan didn’t feel the same. He wanted to take a small break, but the alien on his arm wouldn’t allow it.

“We can’t take a break now,” Omega-Xis grunted as he led the blue warrior inside another room. “We have to find that Zero guy!”

[Wzrdto25]

Water started to flood into the castle from the bottom. The rooms began to be submerged underwater, quickly at that.

[Azure]

Zero stayed silent in his place, his weapon, the buster rifle ready for an attack.....

He had felt it...

Just as before...

This place...no, this whole castle, somewhere the being known as Geo Stellar, Megaman, is here!

And Zero would defeact him.... It was that simple...the wish of the crimson hunter... to fight his foe with all his skills and be victorious...

Zero cared nill about the tournament... but this Geo Stellar.... he ..... they .... share a bond....

BUt...

It would not matter....

All that follows now would be battle...

Thus Zero raised his buster rifle, from his stand in the balcony, his aim true as always. In this tournament, he had repeated the tactic million times over, a proof of his sharpshotting skills, yet he always failed to make a target....

Not this time, thus with careful aim, Zero released a final blast, the Blue armor of Megaman the mark of the wicked attack!

[Chaser's Apprentice]

The owner of this massive fortress was far from Sakura’s knowledge, but his or her castle stood with a look of conceit, though the wall’s condensed colors were diminishing. Outsized canvases of unidentified people were portrayed through the hallways, lingering in their arcane anonymity. Were they watching her? The paintings' countless eyes pursued Sakura’s track through the palace; she couldn’t help but look back every few seconds, establishing a new routine.

What was this? Watery fluids were flushing into the enclosed corridor. Sakura lifted her foot into the air, rattling it about as if she had thought her mind had been misleading her. The castle was flooding.

[Roxas 1994]

The splash of water settled under the blue bomber’s feet. With a quick glance under him, he could see little puddles of water under him. He quickly glanced ahead, seeing more water filling the room. At that moment, the blue bomber knew what was happening: the castle they were in was starting to sink.

“Come on, Mega,” MegaMan said as he pulled the alien away the other way. “This castle is filling up with water.”

Omega-Xis glanced at the ground aswell, seeing the water beneath them. He was forced to agree with his partner this time. But then something caught his attention. He could see a signal laser coming towards the two. Using his strength, Omega-Xis pulled the blue warrior to the wet ground. The laser zoomed past them. This stunt had saved the two warriors, but now they were under attack and they couldn’t see their attacker.

[Wzrdto25]

Luigi wandered around the mansion, his vacuum on his back. Mario stood to his left, a fireball lighting his hand.
"Mairo I-a Don't feela so good" said Luigi Shivering.
"Luigiiiii it's otay" said Mario running ahead.
Luigi shivered and tried to chase after Mario but the wall turned and trapped him where he was. He pointed his vacuum and Flashlight all around. Mario watched as the wall closed behind him.
"OH noe" he exclaimed. He turned and ran down the long corridor as water began to flow at his feet.

-----

Ganondorf held the controls of the Castle at his fingertips and smiled a cruel smile. Leaving the room on autopilot he took off into the hall his cape flowing behind him. He was heading upwards where he could take a few of the enemies out, and eject them from the mystic castle as a service to the God's.

[Azure]

Seeing the castle flooding brought dark memories to the reploid,.....

he could not float in water.... and thus was at a significant weakness in a flooding castle....

But since when life was fair to the reploid....

"Geo Stellar! Megaman! Let's Finisht this once and for all!" Zero armor now beared a Lightning Yellow from the Thunder Form, as the hunter raised his beam saber, the weapon clracled with electricity and the will of the hunter...

"Die a death by flash!" Zero jumped down as he thursted his weapon into the water, the liquid carried the electricity, and soon the whole room became a field of electrocution!

[Wzrdto25]

OOC: This is for Azure and R1994

Ganondorf turned the corner and spotted an enemy is some weird suit. He smiled his hands burning with the triforce of power.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" he yelled bringing the room up in purple flames. He smiled as the water remained the fire dancing on top. He flew forward slashing at his enemies.

[Azure]

It had been unexpected... such as the times they had heard Axl sing in the HQ... needless to say that event had been mind scaring....

IN more than one way...

But this thing.. it had slammed onto him with the force of a salvage beast, or best said a moving truck..

Such wild power.. and these violet flames.... this thing... this man fueled by the dark was without doubt powerful...

Good...

Zero raised his beam saber, the weapon reacting to his desire and becoming once again his Chian Rod... the whip crackling with power and electricity in a green and yellow show of light and power...

"Whoever you are.. die!" The whip sailed foward, the weapon shooting from the hand of Zero at full force, ready to pierce the armor of the enemy!

[Roxas 1994]

The blue bomber quickly turned his attention to the door. He needed to get out of this room. The lightning would soon travel to his location and then shock him. In a quick sprint, MegaMan headed for the door. The lightning was traveling closer to him as he ran. The blue bomber only had a couple of seconds before the whole room was filled with electricity.

“You’re going to have to jump, kid!” Omega-Xis shouted as the two neared the open door. “You got to jump now!”

On Omega-Xis’s command, the blue warrior jumped high into the air, gliding down towards the door. The blue bomber held his breathe as he flew through the air, not knowing what was going to happen, until finally he landed past the gates of the door. The water had not yet reached the exit of the door so MegaMan was safe from the electrical water.

Once the blue warrior looked up, he saw that the room was filled with flames. Was this the work of another enemy? He quickly scanned the inside of the room, seeing a weird, new opponent. The blue bomber knew he had to go back inside that room and help Zero, but how? The water still held electricity in it. He hoped that one of his Battle Cards would help.

[Wzrdto25]

Ganondorf just stood there letting the blast hit him full on. He smirked as he remained unharmed. Power grew in his fists as he gripped them tight. He dashed forward the fire pulled into his hand shot out towards the enemy. He flew backwards with the force and slammed against a nearby wall leaving a dent.

[Azure]

OCC:....OMG you can GM me!!! NO chance.....

Zero coughed in pain! This thing... this thing... the classification of Berserker or Brute would fit perfectly, a being of such sheer strenght that it can break all oposition......

Truely, it reminded Zero of Sigma.... and not in any good way. But Zero lived for these kind of shows and the hunter would prove it!

"Hehehe... you are good, I will give you that... but... don't take me lightly BLack Pot!" The hunter Zero flashed in motion. His yellow armor gave off his energy as his chain rod returned to being the infamous Z-Saber, the weapon craking with electricity once again.

Zero rushed into the flaming waters, splasing around in hoped of clearing the black flames, but not only that, it also allowed the hunter to complete his strategy....

The hunter swung his sword upward, the speed of the motion unbelievably fast. Water rose along the weapon, furthering the power of the attack, and soon both the elements powering each other were ready to meet the black armor of the wizard.....

[Wzrdto25]

Ganondorf fell back laughing. He didn't speak to these underlings but it amused him for them to think they could win. Just as he was about to laugh again, a piece of his armor fell to the ground. He twitched, the muscles in his face tightened. With a short burst of energy he slid under the creature using force to erupted Purple Flames upward at his foe. He couldn't lose a fight to a mortal.

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan had to take the risk of walking into the water. He had to help Zero defeat this new enemy. He took in a deep breathe and held it as he walked into the water. In was amazing. The electricity seemed to vanish from the water. This was perfect for MegaMan. Now he could fight.

“Hey, weirdo,” MegaMan taunted as he raised his Megabuster and aimed it at their new opponent. The blue bomber waited for the flashing aura inside Omega-Xis to go off before firing his Mega buster. The flashing aura signaled to them that the Megabuster shot was fully charged. Once the aura started to flash, MegaMan took aim and fired a signal fully charged Megabuster shot at the wizard.

[Azure]

Although damaged, Zero spun in the air, for a moment landing upside down on the ceiling...

Such was the pure power of the punch by this monster.... a monster unlike any Zero had ever seen, because unlike Sigma and his kin, or Wiel and Omega, this .... thing was completly human.... and that made unsettled Zero....

The Hunter rushed once again, using the fact that the thing was playing with him as an opportunity to try to gain a feeling for the style of the opponent.

His golden and green sabre crossed the distance between them once again, this time the energy with in the weapon charged at the max.

Zero would give all he had in battle, it was the code of his life... and thus falling down the crimson hunter meet the black armored warlock in mortal combact.....

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Pieces of derelict flooring projected into the air, carving into the wooly carpeting. Its crusty skin and detached portions cautioned Sakura before she stepped. When a groan of the ground gave out in the vacant corridor, Sakura couldn’t help but recoil, and hop backward. One-step-forward, two-steps-back. Sakura was getting nowhere. The floor was teetering along the threshold of collapse.

[Wzrdto25]

Ganondorf felt a blade collide with him. He threw his arms out and summoned all the power he had, creating a diamond barrier around him, only physical attacks would work against him now. He smiled firing balls of purple energy at him victims. From behind his armor he appeared like a magician of some kind. Energy poured out and circled him. He began to laugh, hard.

[Azure]

Zero skidded over the water before slamming on the wall, hard.....

This thing once again had managed to stop his attack... it was truly frightening how insanely powerful this warlock could be.... ha it was something he truly enjoyed....

Zero rose... the tip of his solid light sabre now touching the water... The room was now flooding, and unless Zero did something, he would too.

"Hey black pot! Come here!" The hunter dashed up, his sabre flashed in a single swing, as the ceiling of the room was broken by the attack... now a hole into the next room had been made, and the Red Mega man, Hunter Zero, rushed up, now enetering a clean playing field, a room filled with weapons and armor...

This is where Zero would end all....

Now if only Megaman would help and bring the monster here also...

[Wzrdto25]

Ganondorf turned his attention to the Blue creature. He took the blue creature in his hands and began to drain its power.
"AH" he gasped as the power surged from the Blue creature into him. The triforce on his arm lit up.
______

Zelda saw the two who needed her help. With a kick to the stomach Ganondorf slid back and the triforce started to glow fiercely. She smiled a shield appearing around her as he fired a blast of energy, the blast ricocheted off the crystal and knocked him back.
"Get to the next level" said Zelda to the Blue creature. "I'll lure him up when you're ready."

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Dust that bathed in the air clinged onto Sakura’s face, taunting at her sensitive sinuses. It felt like a spider web in her eyes. The growling of the ground as she paced through the foyer drove her mad. She broke off her stepping every few steps, studying the floor to see if it remained dependable, and behind her for any impending threat. The ramshackle floorboards appeared to be bargaining with Sakura; the water that flushed into the room was hurrying out the outlets in the ground as fast as it came in. At least there was a positive to the countless negatives.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario spotted a girl in a room and ran to her.
"Ah It's a me AMARIO" he said. "I'a needa youra helpa ma'am. I've lost Luigi."
He waited for a reply, hoping her not scared her too much.

[Azure]

OCC: WOW... Zelda.. good twist in here...

Zero saw the woman in pink intervene with the black berserker... it was conveinient... too conveinient....

For some reason Zero felt that he should distrust the royal woman, if anything she might help them only to stab them in the back....

A senario that had repeated more than once in his work days....

"Geo Stellar! Over here come!" The calling done Zero prepared his saber for the black warlock.... and maybe the pink princess.....

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan quickly glanced upwards. What he saw put a smile on his face. He would follow Zero’s plan up to the bitter end if he had to. He noticed how the water was rising, so it was a very smart idea to bring the fight up to the next the floor. With a nod, MegaMan followed Zelda’s orders. He hadn’t met this women before, but he had a feeling he could trust her.

“Hey, Zero!” MegaMan shouted as he jumped high into the air, gracefully landing next to the red warrior. “I think we found a new friend.”

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda blocked another hit and smiled.
"You cannot beat wisdom with sheer force Ganon" laughed Zelda aiming a red energy ball at him and releasing.
His shield disappeared before her. She grinned.
"Do you two have a plan?" But as she asked Ganon grabbed her and smiled, he held her hand up and the triforce on her hand started to glow. She fell to the ground trying to crawl away. Ganon smiled and took walked after her.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Mario spotted a girl in a room and ran to her.
"Ah It's a me AMARIO" he said. "I'a needa youra helpa ma'am. I've lost Luigi."
He waited for a reply, hoping her not scared her too much.

Sakura motioned into the air, fluttering her arm about, advising the undersized man not to tramp around so aggressively. His outlandish outfit and eccentric brogue of voice was funny to Sakura, though she didn’t want to be impolite, and swallowed back all laughter. “Hmm? What do you need help with?” She stooped down to the ground, maintaining herself on one of few fixed floorboards. The inflection of Sakura’s voice came out like she was lecturing a child, for Mario was so teeny!

[Wzrdto25]

"Luigi" said Mario again. "My'a brother." He took her hand and dragged her to where the wall had closed. "He's behind here. Can you help me?"

[Azure]

Zero growled... blasted reploidforces.... this was getting complicated...this woman Zelda.... should they save her....

She could be an enemy in the end... but... it was against his beliefs to let this go.... blasted X.... he had made Zero too soft for his own bloody good....

"Megaman... we must help her.... I will distract the beast... save her..." Zero raised his buster cannon, fully charged, as he fired... not once but twice... the first energy blast hiding the second, but not only that, a third attack, a sword beam, released from the Z-Saber was released

Surely the combination of the three would pierce the skill of this seemly unbeatable monster

[Chaser's Apprentice]

"Luigi" said Mario again. "My'a brother." He took her hand and dragged her to where the wall had closed. "He's behind here. Can you help me?"

Sakura hesitated, stopping Mario in his hasty trekking. But, when she recognized the depth and gravity of the situation, she carried on with him. “Sure. I guess…”, though the responce didn't exactly thrill her.

[Wzrdto25]

Ganon fell backwards. Zelda took her chance and blasted him while she could. He armor exploded and fell to the ground. She smirked and kicked him backwards, causing him to trip into the water. Flames burst from him and flew at her and the Zero fellow. She threw herself in front of him, a diamond shield appeared in front of him. Ganon emerged from the water, a giant monster bull. Yellow energy crackled around him.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario looked at the girl. "I don't'a know what to do? The wall, it closed'a behind him." He punched the wall hard then fell back shrieking in pain. "I don't supposed you're one of those hero people are you?" He asked looking at the innocent girl. If she was he would have to make the fight at this very moment and defeat her, his trick of innocence might have worked.

[Azure]

Zero pulled back... his sensors felt the magic contained in the bull that was before them.. in short things were not looking so nice for them....

"Come we should probably make space...." Zero roled backwards, as he drew his two beam sabers, the weapons glowing with energy as they prepared their next attack...

The armor of the hunter changed to their normal Red, as the need of the Thunder Form had expired.... Zero's eyes darted across the room, which was filled with countless weapons, powered up by the fairy magic of the castle....

This would be were all ended....

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan gracefully landed in front of the two warriors. He had a Battle Card in his hand. He quickly inserted the card in Omega-Xis mouth. After analyzing the card, a huge fist appeared over MegaMan’s hand. The card MegaMan had summoned to his aid was called ‘Guts Punch‘.

“I’ll give you guys some time to get out of here,” MegaMan said as he pulled the huge fist back. “I’ll take care of this guy.”

MegaMan waited for the wizard to get closer. His plan was falling into place. Once the wizard was close enough, he would throw his huge punch at this new opponent.

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda started to run then looked back. "Link where are you?" She turned to look at Megaman. "Take this hero" she said handing him a card. "I heard you can use these." She turned and ran up the stairs into another room with Zero.
"What's the plan?"

ooc: Make it a really powerful card XD

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Mario looked at the girl. "I don't'a know what to do? The wall, it closed'a behind him." He punched the wall hard then fell back shrieking in pain. "I don't supposed you're one of those hero people are you?" He asked looking at the innocent girl. If she was he would have to make the fight at this very moment and defeat her, his trick of innocence might have worked.

“Hero?” The lovely jingling of the word pleased Sakura. “Well, I wouldn’t go that far!” Her cheeks flushed with an upwelling of red; egotism was getting to her. Sakura studied the wall suspiciously. It looked like any other wall in the room. Perhaps this man was partaking in the competition, a participant that she hasn’t ever seen before? Her sympathy overacted on itself, though.

After much thought on which card to use, she had made a quick desicion. Sakura didn’t want to instigate too much ruin, and so applied a less harmful card spirit. “Through card, help us out!” Sakura and Mario both achieved a vaporous embodiment; you could see though their translucent ghostliness. Mario was astounded, toggling glances at himself, then at his new friend. For Sakura, however, it was natural, and she guided the both of them through the wall.

[Azure]

Zero awaited in the other room..... his two sabers were ready fully charged and waiting the order of the crimson hunter.....

"Should we not help Megaman..." Zero stared at the woman.... she was not his ally.... even less than Geo Stellar...

At least he knew Megaman... but this woman was an unknown... and Zero could not place his trust on convenience.....

No matter how it would help him.... "Anyway..... come we must haste...if we set somthing up, then Megaman will have to last less time with that behemoth...." Thus Zero stared at the weapons outlining the walls... ready to be called by a warriror...

[Wzrdto25]

Luigi wasn't waiting on the other side of the wall though. Something far worse was. Mario gave a sigh as a huge Koopa King stood at the other end of the Wall.

"Bwahahahaha" laughed Bowser.

"Oh NOe" said Mairo ducking in fear.

_________________

Bowser looked down at the two enemies and started to laugh.
"So Mario" he said in his barely audible voice, not because of how loud it was, but the thick accent of a dinosaur was dominant. "We meet again."

[Xuan]

Riku was pounding his way through the top of the castle with only one thing in mind: Get out.

It was then he saw the gruesome battle Megaman and Zero and Sakura had threw themselves into. Ganon was a powerful creature, and if they do not defeat it, they might find it hard pressed to get out of here.

And so he winked into LD Form and crashed into Ganon, yelling, "Guys! Quit the rivalry for the moment and whack this guy to oblivion first ok?"

OOC: Er, I'm not too sure what is happening, so guide me ok?

[Roxas 1994]

A smile grew on MegaMan’s face as he scanned the Battle Card Zelda gave him. He had heard that this Battle Card was extremely rare and very powerful. With a quick nod to Omega-Xis, MegaMan abounded the ‘Guts Punch’ card, and inserted the new Battle Card in Omega-Xis’s mouth.

An aura of flame started to surround the blue bomber as Omega-Xis finished analyzing the new card. This new Battle Card was titled ‘Phoenix’. In the matter of seconds, the fire aura grew wider and wider, becoming more powerful with each passing second. The heat from the aura was also very intense. The heat made the water around the blue bomber evaporate, turning into steam.

“Let’s show this guy what we’re really made of,” Omega-Xis cheered as MegaMan charged to the evil wizard.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth awakened...

He could feel it. These games were drawing to a close, and quickly at that. He would have to be more agile, more concentrated, more powerful than he had been before. The darkness would have to return. Sephiroth, in all actuality, had been weakened by the loss of darkness, and now craved it more than he hindered it. He sat alone on a small sea-locked sandbar in the middle of the raging waterfall. Concentrating all his willpower on the darkness, he reached his grasp into the darkness of his past...

Everything went black. Sephiroth seemed to be floating in the same space of nothingness as he had when he released the darkness. He searched, reaching with the remnants of his soul to catch a flicker of darkness. His memories seemed to rush past him instantaneously. With reluctance, he delved deeper into his memory, attempting to pinpoint the area and time in which he had obtained his darkness...

[Wzrdto25]

"You still want to help Megaman even though he is an enemy in this competition?" Said Zelda harshly. She realized her words were dangerous as Zero shot her a dangerous look.

She threw a smoke bomb at the ground and another figure formed where she had been.

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn97/XxharmlessXsinxX/le_shiek.jpg

"I guess Shiek will help more" said the new Figure picking up two daggers and holding them close.

[Azure]

"Come let's go!" With those words, Zero reentered the room, his eyes glowing with determination as he prepared his attack...

The beast that his sensors called Ganon roared, as it was hurt by the attack fo Riku (even if Zero hated the silver haired boy... he was a useful aset in battle....)

"Geo! Let's double team!" Zero threw his two blades, the weapons spinning around as they formed arcs in thier trajectory, becimoning Shield Bommerangs....

The twin spinning weapons neared the boar Ganon as they prepared to pierce his flesh into pieces.... thier attack most likely to be true!

[Xuan]

Riku stared to his behind as he slowly proceeded towards the top of the tower. It seems that the weird girl that looked like a princess of said something to Zero's dislike before throwing out a smoke bomb and transformed to another person.

Just who in the blazes is this? He knew it doesn't matter now. All new people can be considered enemies... Mario and Luigi aside. They seemed too dumb to be faking innocence.

Riku went to help Zero. If they are to survive this alive, they must break through this, together!

[Wzrdto25]

Ganon roared back, reappearing behind his foes and shot electricity at them. Shiek fell to the ground blocking the hit. Ganon grabbed her and swallowed her whole right then and there. He smiled as he doubled in size.
"Triforce give me strength" he said, speaking for the first time.
The room erupted in flames and electricity.

[ShikaX]

Endledss corridors... rooms leading to rooms leading to rooms. Dead End. A pair of feet ran back. They belonged to Link, who was running all over. A maze. "Link, look at that..." Navi siad, looking at an amazingly bright window of colors.. but what surprised him was.. on this window.. was a picture of the Triforce.. It almost seemed to glow. As if a target. He thought and Thought. No one seemed to be around him... He took out a normal arrow and readied his bow.

Complete accuracy. He let go. It went in through it. It didn't shatter it, but went through the window in a great light. Then, after the light had nearly blinded him, something layed on that grouns.. a bundle of arrows. They were bright.. He then knew what they were.. light arrows. Even though they were not as strong as the ones he could use with Zelda, they were still strong. Then he ran down corridors, towards a noise of people fighting...

[Helix: The True Hero]

His memories had brought him to a chamber in the middle of the Shinra laboratories. Behind him, Cloud could be heard calling not to look into the containment pod...

But Sephiroth looked...and saw his mother...

Inside the pod, his mother rested, mutated into an anamorphic beast by the Shinra scientists. Sephiroth, as though re-living these memories, let out a cry of total agony, summoned his blade, and slashed the wires and socket tubes encompassing the pod. With all his strength, he struck, and struck, and struck the wires harder and harder. He could feel tears in his eyes, falling and splashing on the hard surface of the diamond-grid floor. When all energy was lost, he let down his blade and fell to the floor, confused and lost...

...he could hear Cloud behind him, urging him to calm down. Sephiroth didn't listen, and stood, threw Cloud aside, and rampaged out into the city to begin his bout of revenge.

It was here that the darkness was found...

[Xuan]

"Oh brother, a woman swallowing monster. Didn't the parents ever teach him manners? It should always be the other way around..." The first slam of The Way To Dawn sent Ganon backwards while the second slash from Soul Eater drew a deep gash across his chest. Unlike the others, Riku felt no effects from the attack for Reflect magic has been casted on him, and with that, he threw both Keyblades towards Ganon, both holding the retaliation power and struck Ganon in the stomach before exploding. His Keyblades winked back to his arm.

"We should run up now. It's pointless to fight him here, our objective is to reach the top, NOW!" Riku ran up, hoping that Zero would listen to advice.

[Azure]

And there was pain.... simply that....

Zero felt such pain not unlike since the Repliforce affair... the time he had fought against Iris and Colonel....

He felt weak...but still that could not stop him...there was something to do..now.... The two weapons returned to his hands, and the warrior rose to meet the boar that was Ganon...

"White Wonderboy!" Turning to Riku, his eyes narrowed and not noticing that the subject had left.... "We must work together....so give it your all!" The hunter's armor turned black.... the Proto Form...the armor originaly colored in his development stages appeared again....

It was the signal of a change... Zero raised his beam swords, the two weapon crossed into an X, as the hunter dashed...the speed behond human standards and appeared jumping over the boar, his weapons would connect.... it was his full will....

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Luigi wasn't waiting on the other side of the wall though. Something far worse was. Mario gave a sigh as a huge Koopa King stood at the other end of the Wall.

"Bwahahahaha" laughed Bowser.

"Oh NOe" said Mairo ducking in fear.

Bowser looked down at the two enemies and started to laugh.
"So Mario" he said in his barely audible voice, not because of how loud it was, but the thick accent of a dinosaur was dominant. "We meet again."

A dinosaur, a nasty one at that, locked himself in place before Sakura and Mario. This was certainly unexpected, throwing Sakura off track for a moment. She could smell the intense stench of Bower’s breath that tracked through the room, implanting into Sakura’s sense of space. It was clear that this ogre was acquainted with Mario; their incessant glaring became a painful staring contest. Sakura discreetly reached into her knapsack that swung over her shoulder, snatching the first card in reach. “Sand card, go!” Her words were panicky at first. Was Sand spirit practical in her circumstances? The result reassured her. Flailings of sand flourished in the room. They thrashed against Bowser, and shielded Sakura and Mario, giving them a break of time to prepare for battle.

[Wzrdto25]

Ganon struggled coughing up blood, and with that Zelda. She appeared in a huge bubble of blood and looked around. She ran over to Link.
"Link, NAVI!!!!!!!!!!!" She said happily. "Ganon is planning to tear this place down and get the triforce marks." Said Zelda, placing a crystal shield around Link. "We have to defeat him.


Ganon got back up, the blood around him formed sharp tentacles and the lightning and flames licked the sides of him.

[Azure]

"Pink girl any plans... this thing is troublesome...and I want pork chops for dinner...." The Red robot grinned as he flashed a witty smile. He noticed the man in green, and the glowing white ball... but there was no time to bother himself with them...

He had Ganon before him....

"We need to stop him...so any ideas!" The hunter drew his beam sword.... the weapon glowed in charged energy as Zero prepared for anything and everything...

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth, still teary-eyed, reached out to the darkness, and took hold...

Instantly, the darkness began filling the voids where old power was lost. Sephiroth could feel the strength returning, as well as the hatred and sorrow that had clouded his feeble life for so long.

He opened his eyes, and stood himself on the small island, his boots creating shallow ruts in the sand. It would take a moment to adjust to the newly-introduced darkness so, in the meantime, he would have to find sanctuary.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario unducked and watched as the girl pulled out a card. He jumped over the sand and landed on Bowsers head, covering his eyes so that he couldn't see. Mario was flung in every direction as the Monster slammed through the wall and into a room submerged in water. Bowser aimed a huge blast of fire towards where Sakura was standing. Mario held on tight.

[Xuan]

Riku stared at Zero. His look is of those people who are determined to fight and die instead of running away, even though it is far from an act of cowardice. He sighed.

"You are right about the 'Wonderboy' part, Zero. I guess I should let you see just how powerful LD Form is." And with that, Riku charged towards Ganon and pour out his power on a single attack.

Light and Darkness, upon my command, DUAL X OF FURY!" Riku gave a powerful double slash on Ganon's chest as he sees the force of his slash struck Ganon backwards and seriously wounding him. He was amazed by the toughness the monster's throwing upon them.

[ShikaX]

Link nodded. He wondered how he was going to be able to do this. "Well, every time we defeat him, it always has to do with arrows.. but.. we only have the weak light arrows and he has big tentacles of doom.... How to plan this out.." Navi explained. For once, she had given Link anidea. He's defeated Ganon many times, but this time, it seemed more difficult.. He looked around. Then noticed a set of candles on a chandilier above Ganon.. He hoped this would at least distract him.. He nodded towards Navi. "Hey! over here!" She began repeting that while buzzing all around Ganon. "Listen to me!" She continued. Link took out a bomb arrow, and aimed. Hoping that Ganon would be destracted enough.

[Azure]

"You don't have to sing it, just do it !" Zero raised his single blade, gathering energy at the tip! Wiht a growl, the hunter rushed foward, the weapon aimed strait at the intercepting blows dealt by the key-user....

The beam sword would thrust into the boar and damage him...one way or another....

[Helix: The True Hero]

But no sanctuary was required.

In an instant, Sephiroth adjusted completely to the darkness, and summoned his dark wing. With the grace of a god, he shot himself into the sky and set a respective course toward the castle.

As he passed over the thunderous pillars of water, Sephiroth noticed the sounds and sights of battle below. One of his last surviving teammates, Zero, was engaged heavily in a fight with one of the gaming gods...and he seemed to be holding strong. Sephiroth contemplated whether to assist him or not, then decided that he could hold his own for the time being. Meanwhile, he himself needed to reach the castle that loomed above the waters.

[Wzrdto25]

Ganon grabbed at the people in room with his tentacles. He stared at Link and Zelda, the only two remaining on the floor. He threw the rest of his enemies out of the way creating a barrier of fire between them and laughed maliciously.
"You are the one's I need" he said Looking at them. Navi started to fly annoyingly at him. He whipped at her several times with his giant swords and fell back against the wall yelling.
"Dumb Fairy"

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Mario unducked and watched as the girl pulled out a card. He jumped over the sand and landed on Bowsers head, covering his eyes so that he couldn't see. Mario was flung in every direction as the Monster slammed through the wall and into a room submerged in water. Bowser aimed a huge blast of fire towards where Sakura was standing. Mario held on tight.

Sakura snarled, hurtling backward with Mario in her arms, and pulling out yet another card. “Watery, release and dispel!” The vacant corridor that Bowser had plunged into was entirely waterlogged. Before the fluids could naturally flush out, Watery spirit crafted a massive tide that burst into an outbreak, enclosing Bowser entirely! The surf of water quenched his firey discharge, upshooting a smoldering finish. Sakura set Mario down, preparing to rush the vulnerable tyrant. Her baton at hand, she stepped into a gallop, leaping high into the air to crash down upon Bowser.

[Xuan]

"It's 'bring it', not 'do it' idiot! LIGHT!" Awaiting the best distraction Link and Zero had given to him, Riku leaped forwards and slammed his both his Keyblades hard on Ganon's skull before backing off with a few wonderous back-flip.

If the wizard could still stand, it would be amazing.

OOC: Which means, your tentacles missed me because of the distraction.

[Wzrdto25]

Bowser shook off the water and shot a fireball spit into his hands and threw it at Sakura. Mario jumped in the way and grabbed it. He used some fire of his own before sending it back at him. Mario watched as Bowser shrugged off the fire and crushed the ceiling overhead.

Mario grabbed Sakuras hand and jumped to the next floor. He wiped he forehead and smiled. "Bowsers a tough cookie, we needa escape'a."

[ShikaX]

Navi made a npise that sounded like someone sticking their tongue at someone, and still annoyingly flew around. She looked very happy. So happy, she was a green color. That's when Link let go. There acgually was a rather long distance between the large lighting, chandilier, and the arrows for indoors. He only hoped Ganon wouldn't notse. He wanted to save everybody. Not only his team, but everyone. Even if only one would survive, he would want to help others as much as he could. He thought courageous thoughts. Only hoping that it would activate his Triforce. His piece. He looked at the top of his right hand. Then cluched it. This arrow was theri only chance... Even Navi had lost track and was staring towards the arrow.

[Azure]

OCC>.... Ganon can and should GM... so he takes precedence....

IN: Zero growled in pain... this thing.... was it so strong... he... good that ment it would fall harder...

Using his saber as support the Maverick Hunter rose once again, this time his eyes narrowed in determination....

The wall of fire that this thing had made would stop him... but not his buster...thus Zero aimed his weapon... the buster rifle releasing a volley of plasma blasts to buy an opening...

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth neared the bridge connected to the castle, and carefully landed between one of the pillars. With a stroke of mis-balance, he nearly lost hold of the bridge, and could have easily fallen to his demise in the raging flood below.

Something sounded behind him, and Sephiroth somersaulted, preparing to face a potential new threat. However, the word "threat" would hardly describe what he saw...

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn yelped as he warped over the edge of the castle. Below him, the waterfall roared with fury, threatening to consume him if he slipped. Above him, the strange castle loomed. It was an obvious choice. He quickly edged closer to the castle, keeping away from the ledge. "Dymlos...where are we?" He had to raise his voice due to the waterfall.

"I beleive we are in a castle of some sort." The Swordian of Flames replied. "I suggest we look around."

"Agreed." Stahn walked into the strange castle.

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

"And...I'm lost." Stahn looked left, and then right. Each was looked exactly alike. "Where do I go from here?"

Dymlos hovered, pointing left. "I say left."

Stahn nodded, "Right it is." He turned right, and grabbed Dymlos.

Dymlos sighed, "You really don't like me, do you?"

[Wzrdto25]

Ganon glanced around the room and shrieked in pain as the ceiling above him collapsed. Zelda from behind Link grabbed him and took his sword and smiled a demonic smiled. She slashed at Link with his sword and smiled. She ran to Ganon and used a healing power.
"Did you honestly think you could beat Ganon AND the gaming Gods" the word AND stuck out in the sentence. She looked at Link's face and started to laugh. Ganon got back up and took the sword smiling a malicious smile.

[Xuan]

It doesn't seemed to be working alright, Riku thought as he continued to attack Ganon with bone crunching force. Unbelievably, his immense strength that could've destroy a mountain didn't work very well as he fought against this monster.

Perhaps it can only be destroyed through certain means? Riku can only hope to find out as he continued his relentless assaults against the wizard.

"I'll buy us time guys... God's cronies ain't so powerful as we thought, Water!" And the barrier of fire caging in his friends is eliminated.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth temporarily let down his guard as he beheld the "threat," which seemed to be nothing more than a kinetically-bouncing ball. He cautiously stepped forward, unsure what to make of this thing. With an extreme amount of hesitation, he drew his blade and reached to poke it.

When he did, however, the "threat" disappeared, and the threat stared him straight in the eyes. The ball morphed, twisting and turning, into something deadlier, uglier, and a much greater deal larger. Sephiroth cringed at the ball-beast, and slowly reached his hand behind his back, forming what would soon be a dark-thundaga.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Bowser shook off the water and shot a fireball spit into his hands and threw it at Sakura. Mario jumped in the way and grabbed it. He used some fire of his own before sending it back at him. Mario watched as Bowser shrugged off the fire and crushed the ceiling overhead.

Mario grabbed Sakuras hand and jumped to the next floor. He wiped he forehead and smiled. "Bowsers a tough cookie, we needa escape'a."

It turns out that Mario had skills too! Sakura was astonished by his strength, yet there was no time to embrace it. Bowser’s hand-held infernos trailed after them. The duo clambered up the floors together, avoiding the hot flares that had overseen them, rupturing the floor above to make a clear opening for them to climb into. Occasionally, water dispensed from the floor above, but that was no big deal. What probed them was if Bowser had been following them. Sakura wouldn’t dare turn back, though the surges of fire continued to be shot.

[Azure]

Zero growled... he was right... the pink princess was an enemy....

"Hhaahhahaha I knew it... well then pink princess come and I will show you why how gods are defeated..." Zero grinned as the water spell made the fire barrier fade...as he readied his weapon... and dashed straight at Zelda, the weapon aimed at her gut!

[ShikaX]

Link's eyes widened. He was on his knees. Shaking his head. No... No... NO! He glared. His triforce glew. He might just have to use it. But.. he needed to make sure he caught both of them... he could only hope this would work.. his last line of defense.. In this stage.. He would either use his items very wisely, or use this.. either one would be difficult.. for if he used the triforce slash, most of his power would be drained, but if he used his items, he would have to take his time and think out a plan.. His items. He could easily take the time and dodge while thinking of a plan. He took out a small, golden bottle.. He drank it. The gash in his back had been healed, and he was glowing a bright gold. He now had double strength. Then he stabbed his sword into the gorund, seperating into four links.

Now it was time to do math.

If one of the four sword Link's had a fourth of Link's power before, and now that they have their attacks doubled, that means that every tiny Link has the power of half a link. A.K.A, four links, haveing the power of two links pissed off, equals very smart and strong attacks.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario held her hand tight as they ran up the stairs. "Don't'a look back otay?" Said Mario, he pictured Sakura smiling. Behind them flames exploded and shot in every direction. Mario jumped pushing Sakura ahead and yelping in pain running even faster. The stairs collapsed below them and Mario hung onto the edge of the top stair for dear life, he was about to fall into an inferno. Could this be any worse?

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan was in shock after he heard what Zelda had said. She was allied with the ‘gamming Gods’. She had tricked a lot of people, even Omega-Xis. With a grunt, MegaMan raised his Megabuster, aiming it at Zelda and Genon. He didn’t have time to fully charge the Megabuster shots he was about to release, but they would still be effective if they hit.

“I can’t believe she tricked us,” MegaMan said as he looked at Zero. “Have any plans?”

[Xuan]

Riku squinted his eyes. His fears had came true, but luckily he had himself prepared for such... beautiful woman.

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda put up her shield and reflected Zero smiling. She spun around and kicked him straight on. Ganon grew in size and clutched his gigantic sword and swung it at the mini links. He smiled colliding his strength with the ground cause the cracks and splitting of the ground to drop into the caves below them. As he hit a wall, water started to rush into the room, extinguishing his barrier spell. Zelda used he power to created a strong Crystal coating around Ganon.

OOC: However Xuan seems to like God Moding.

[Azure]

MegaMan was in shock after he heard what Zelda had said. She was allied with the ‘gamming Gods’. She had tricked a lot of people, even Omega-Xis. With a grunt, MegaMan raised his Megabuster, aiming it at Zelda and Genon. He didn’t have time to fully charge the Megabuster shots he was about to release, but they would still be effective if they hit.

“I can’t believe she tricked us,” MegaMan said as he looked at Zero. “Have any plans?”
Zero growled as he had been pushed back by the sheer magical force of the two....

Landing besides Megaman he raised his eyes to the familiar Blue Bomber... "We could use the Brother Band.. it's dual power... it should be enough to injure this thing..... right?"

[Helix: The True Hero]

The monster sprung at Sephiroth, and at the same time, Sephiroth sprung at it. Unleashing the now fully-formed dark thundaga, he struck the "side" of the monster, sending it squabbling back onto its haunches. It's pain forced it to scream...and what a scream it was.

"Ahhh!" Sephiroth covered his ears as the beast let out a scream to the heavens. A few of the castle windows broke out from the vibration and pitch of the scream, and almost did the same ho Sephiroth. He fell to his knees, the energy being exhausted from his body. He would have to stop the scream, or he would certainly die.

With struggling arms, Sephiroth reached for his blade and heaved it at the monster, slicing completely through it. The monster fell to the ground in a heap, and dissolved into nothingness.

[Xuan]

"You don't need one, Megaman. You have me." Riku spoke loudly.

Riku stared directly into Zelda's eyes. A single whisper is given before Zelda's neck suddenly exploded into bright sparks of Light and Darkness. Riku smiled, knowing that he had dealt a near fatal blow to his enemy. He held his Keyblades towards Zelda.

"I had suspected that much... Gaming Gods, huh? You pratically screamed at Zero when he tried to help Megaman, so I took some precautions and turns out it paid out beautifully." Before the woman is allowed to heal, Riku gave her a bone crunching kick in the face and sent her crushing into the wall behind her. She cannot be conscious now.

"Who is in line to Kingdom Come next... Oh right! Ganon!" And his gaze turned back to Ganon, swiftly.

OOC: WOW, I had to edit my previous post and post this one here to make this sound logic >>

[ShikaX]

The links had all jumped over the blade, but, however, they were now standing on floating pieces of wall. They thought quick, they took out arrows and all shot them towards Zelda as she was casting the barrier around Ganon, hoping that they caught her off guard, then they took out fire rods and made orange bricks appear infront of them. The arrows got close to Zelda, however, they were not sure that they would get to even damage her.

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan looked up at Zero, confusing in his eyes. The red warrior actually wanted to form a Brother Band with him. Maybe a friendship was forming from all of these battles. With a smile on his face, Subaru aimed Omega-Xis near Zero’s chest. Zero didn’t have a transer, which was needed to form a Brother band, but maybe his metal body could substitute.

“The Brother Band is almost done,” MegaMan said as he looked at Omega-Xis. “We just need a couple more seconds.”

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda shrugged she walked forward towards the Red and Blue heroes and laughed.
"I am a Gaming God fools" she said. A light pierced her eyes and she lit up into a golden shape, much like a giant bird with golden Aura. She smiled as Ganon continued to tear the place up. Arrows bounced off her as she walked, nothing merely subtle as that could harm her now.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn heard cries, battling, and other random sounds up ahead. Is that? "Fighting." He growled, and drew Dymlos. "Ready?"

"Take it easy on the magic, but yeah." Dymlos hummed.

Stahn cahrged forward into...Pure. Utter. Chaos.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Mario held her hand tight as they ran up the stairs. "Don't'a look back otay?" Said Mario, he pictured Sakura smiling. Behind them flames exploded and shot in every direction. Mario jumped pushing Sakura ahead and yelping in pain running even faster. The stairs collapsed below them and Mario hung onto the edge of the top stair for dear life, he was about to fall into an inferno. Could this be any worse?

OOC: EEK! =33, Gotta go! Lol. ^-^; This post waz rushed soo…D; Sorryy.

What was once luxury had been suited into a fierce firestorm. The foyer beneath them was ablaze, and Mario’s slowly dissipating grip had caught Sakura off guard. She crouched down, feeding herself to the inferno’s seething rage. A globe of fire pelted passed her face, leaving her with a smoldering aftertaste. “Hold on!” She reached out her hand, grasping Mario’s in it, and hauling him up. Sakura flailed him about to avoid the fireballs, yet in the end, Mario was saved.

[Azure]

Zero raised his weapon, the woman who claimed to be God standing before the two... "Geo.... prepare... give her everything you have..." The Brother Band (Zero's internal computer making up for the Trancer) was now completed...and now the two were what you could call Brothers in terms of Geo's world...

"Come... show me what a god can do!" The Z-Saber flashed, the weapon enlongating as Zero gathered enerfy! "Be sliced into infinity!" the Sword was swung as Zero prepared to make an opening for Geo!

[Xuan]

OOC: What? You can't die even when I exploded your neck? Crap... Oh well, I knew it >>

Riku was very surprised to see that Zelda had survived against all odds - normal odds that is - as he readied his Keyblades once again.

I am a Gaming God fools

What chance do you have when you fight against a God?

Reality: Even Gods can die. What you need to do is to believe your heart.

Soul Eater vanished as Riku held The Way To Dawn with both his hands, his gigantic aura began to grow even more stronger.

He will end this with one strike, for he had a promise with his friends.

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda staggered back. Ganon reached forward and aimed at the Links in one shot. Lightning and fire burst at them from his mouth and then he swung his sword. He needed to make them one link to steal their triforce. Zelda's shield dispersed and with hers Ganons did as well she well to her knees, returning to her human form and blood expelled from her triforce.

[ShikaX]

They four morphed into one, gaining an idea, and dodging the attack, barely. The one Link was standing on the platform. Eyes closed. He reached into his pocket. And pulld out something... a blue Ocarina. Then he turned and gave Zelda a look saying, 'Remember this?' He closed his eyes again, and slowly began the song of time. Hoping it would work.. if not... that would suck...

The melody slipped out of the small instrument. The noise soothing to the soul. Navi had landed on his head, calming down from learning about Zelda. "Link, you play the best songs.." she said.. in a dazed voice. He was close to finishing the song..

[Xuan]

OOC: C'mon Brother boys, buy us time! Link needs to run...

Riku's hand is fixed strongly to his hand. Instinctively, he protected Link from damage by casting a Reflect spell over him and rebounded the force upon his enemies.

He needed just a bit more time for the final attack...

[Wzrdto25]

Zelda stumbled her harp sliding across the ground. She disappeared from the room, leaving a bleeding Ganon. Ganon too started to disperse. The Triforce marks faded and went into Link. Zelda appeared to link in a ghost-like form and handed him a harp. "I'm sorry, the God' beckoned me to fight and test you" she said tears streaming from her eyes. "Win this thing for Hyrule."

[Xuan]

Seeing that his enemies suddenly retreating, Riku suddenly realised that they have... won. The music of love had won them the day.

Who said that you needed to fight in a battle in order to win?

But the game isn't over just yet. They still needed to reach the top, and this time, they do not need to team up against a common enemy.

Riku darted towards the top of the tower, content with the music of love, and worried for the sake of everyone.

[Azure]

Zero growled as he saw the image of Zelda to disappear... this was too troublesome... "SO that is the reason... a test....."

Zero narrowed his eyes anger filling his being but that could wait... The hunter aimed his buster up, the shoots managing to break the weakened ceiling.

"Come this place will flood!" Zero jumped up.... taking the new hole as an exit.... there was much to be done still....

[ShikaX]

Link stared. He didn't think it would have that much of an effect.. just one lousy song. He nodded though. He would do this for Zelda. "Ganon probably jumped for the job.." Navi muttered under her breath. "We'll do our best." She said, fluttering inmfront of the ghostly appearance of Zelda. He smiled. A small teardrop rolling down his cheek. he shut his eyes and wiped his face. Then made a more reassuring face, and a more reasurring nod.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn looked around. Too late...I missed everything. He sighed, letting his guard down. "Why me? I always miss the good fights..."

[Wzrdto25]

OOC: Now fight each other like you fought me. XD You guys just need to figure out strategies.

Mario found Luigi and met Bowser face to face. Luigi smiled.
"MARIO!!!!!!!!!" He hugged his brother and started to run away as a cloud of ghosts chased after them. Mario did the same and they started to run through the castles highest tower.

[Xuan]

Riku followed Zero without speaking another word. He would not like to spark any unwanted hatred amongst them now. They needed to reach the top... and quick.

"NEVER AGAIN!" A powerful beam of Light struck clean through the top of the tower and burst up into the endless sky. Now he just needed to fly through the holes and he'll be free from this castle.

[Azure]

Zero rushed foward... his weapons, the legendary Z-Saber was drawn and ready as the hunter passed the hallways... he needed to make time... after all he did not know if any enemy could appear....

Plus there was the fact that now he was connected to Geo Stellar.... it was not something he could say he liked entirerly.... but now...he did not feel so alone as before....

He had not felt something like that since X.... and Ciel and the Resistance....

and also Iris... but that was the past...

Thus the Hunter keep his pace... he would surely meet something.... that Riku,... he was his target... with a jump Zero entered the hole the key-user summoned...

A fight would near....

OCC: Okey let's fight! Riku

[ShikaX]

Link closed his eyes. It seemed he could escape.. He wanted to head towards the top of the tower... He jumped out and used a clawshot on a grating on the outside of the castle. He shot up, his hat almost falling off. He landed on a balcomy and slowly wlaked in, sword at hand. Navi was green again...

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan scratched the back of his helmet, a slight smile on his face. They had won this battle, but they still had to fight the others in this castle. With a quick sprint, MegaMan headed for the top of the tower. He had hoped that he would see Zero there, and most likely fight him. After all, they still had a battle to finish.

“Do you think it was a wise move to become Brothers with Zero?” Omega-Xis asked as the two made their way the tower. MegaMan nodded. He was now connected to Zero, but the two warriors still wanted to battle each other.

[Xuan]

Riku could feel Zero's eyes bored into his back as he finally flew out of the castle and breathed in fresh air. His gaze is cool as he awaited the Maverick Hunter to fly out and fight him.

After all, he lost the chance to show off his final attack. It would do good to vent some of his frustations by beating up a manly reploid. A hysterical laughter nearly escaped his lungs. Before Zero came out, he made some preparations. The first one is to discard his LD Form. It would be unfun if he accidentally killed Zero in one hit.

He reverted back to his normal self and waited.

[Azure]

OCC:... wow how considerete... good... well then it won't be fair if I killed you in one hit....

IN: The eyes of the hunter narrowed... this man... how arrogant.... he was someone Zero disliked... it was just like that....

The hunter drew his own blade, the Z-Saber that had obeyed him across the years.... the weapon casted a soft green light...

"Ne... Wonderboy... come we must finish this right!" Zero grinned.... this battle had no importance in the long run... but it would be a test....

One of them would not escape...

Zero rushed first... it was not like the other times.... this dash had more power, and the Z-saber was pointed foward, the beam blade spreading like a spear... with out doubt if this attack connected with Riku there would be no block...

OCC: Don't land hits okey... without my say... okey...

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn was in trouble, up to his neck in water. "Why...me? He desperately looked for an exit, but couldn't find one. "Why.....does this keep...happening?"

If it weren't for Dymlos, he would have gone under long ago. It was the Swordian being that kept him afloat and alive.

((Gotta go..))

[Xuan]

OOC: Sure. After my 'Awakening' from 'Sleep', I don't need to land multiple blows on people anymore unless I absolutely needed the advantage.

Riku stared at Zero, his eyes laughing. They are now at the rooftop of the castle, trying to battle the wits out of each other. Or at least Zero is the one trying to battle the wits out of him. He was just... cooling down his body after such an intense fight with Gaming Gods.

He could've flied around the castle and watch Zero screaming and shooting futilely (Riku could fly even without LD Form now, however the big difference is speed.), but that won't be much fun, aye? No, a battle on the ground would be better.

After all, they had accomplished what they had been told to.

"Come."

[Azure]

Zero was not someone to bother much with order or commands..

But this time he headed the command of his enemy...

Zero jumped up, the beam sword that was his signature weapon was now drawn as the Maverick hunter swung the weapon at Riku.... his speed was fast, as the beam weapon seamed to disperce and become two with the technique on the weapon..

"Die!" The challenge was sent....and Zero would win....

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan stopped in his tracks once reaching the staircase. It would take too much time for him to move up the staircase, so he scanned the room for a shortcut. After he completely scanned the room, his eyes reached a balcony. By the looks of it, it could lead him up the tower faster then the staircase would.

“Let’s hope we can make it up there,” MegaMan said as he took a step back. “I think I can make it.”

MegaMan took in a deep breathe, holding it in as he ran forward. He quickly bended his knees, and then sprang forward, flying high into the air. He gracefully landed on the cold stone of the balcony. He had made the jumped, but now he needed to make his way up the tower. Hopefully he wouldn’t get attacked by an enemy between that time.

[Xuan]

Without breaking a sweat, Riku stopped the beam sword with his left hand. He stopped the Z saber with bare hands! A sly grin came upon his face as he stabbed his Keyblades towards Zero's chest, intending to force his enemies backwards.

The Reflect magic that coated his left hand exploded to force the saber off Zero's hands with the power of eruption.

[Azure]

OCC:.... reflect... interesting.... I like it...

Zero grinned pained from the blow... this boy was getting interesting.. the hunter rolled back... his weapon lost as he drew his plama rifle, the weapon layered a volley of plasts... all the projectiles aiming at Riku....

This was suppresion fire.. meant to create an opening!

Landing Zero drew the Z-Saber from the ground, giving the weapon a swing, before he swung it again, this time a ray of energy being released, the "Sword Beam" aiming at the from of Riku, hopefully this would end and be true....

[Xuan]

The projectiles kept Riku too busy to see the Sword Beam coming. Before he realised it, everything was already too late and he was sliced clean into half!

The Way To Dawn clanged as it struck the floor and vanished in a wisp of light.

Is it the end for Riku?

The Riku Zero had strucked suddenly dispersed into Darkness as the real person chuckled behind Zero, "Well well, I never thought this Darkness cloning skill I used on Sora last time would be so beautiful, it even had colours on it!" Behind Zero, Riku heaved a mighty slash over his armor, intend to strike deep into its core.

[ShikaX]

Link's ear twitched. EH made a swift turn and shot out of the room. He burst through the doors, just as Mega Man had landed, mega man being pushed into the wall by the door. Link peered around it. It was the kid he had saved that one time. They were enemies.. He smiled.. then frowned. "I think now... this time.. we have to fight." Navi said sadly..

Link helped the kid out. Then walked into the room the balcony door lead to.

[Azure]

Zero desperately lunged to the side... as he narrowly missed the Way to LIght weapon.....

Had the Maverick Hunter been one second too late... he would have died very easily... or at least lost his arm... Again....

This thing was annoying... not in a bad away... but this Riku seamed of the type that refused to die.....

"Ne, Wonderboy... come let's keep at it!" Zero grinned never had left... the taste for battle.. it was something only the last creation of Dr. Wily could understand...

"Here... let me give you my thanks... Giga Crush!" The name of the skill was said... as pillars of energy were released from the position of Zero, the rising beams of light plowed across the field all directed towards Riku.....

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan looked confused for a moment. He hadn't really met this person, but yet the boy helped him out. With a slight shrug, the blue bomber walked after the boy in green. He quickly walked through t same door, scanning the room behind the gates. The room was empty, but big.

“I wonder where that guy went,” MegaMan said as he took a few steps forward, going deeper into the room. “Who was that guy?”

MegaMan was slightly curious about the one he had just seen. He did not know if he was an enemy or an ally, so he wanted to find out. Too bad his curiosity might get him into a fight. That was the only down side.

[ShikaX]

"Remember that time that one guy with knifes comign out of his knuckles?" Navi siad as Link had appeared, standing with his side to the boy, facing a burning fire place. He didn't want to do it, but he had to.. for Hyrule.. or else he would fade.. and die..

[Xuan]

"Hmm... an interesting trick I see. Well, I suppose I owe you an interesting display of swordsmanship as well!" Riku laughed as he began to flow energy to his Keyblade and swung it in a display of a true Keyblade Master. The Keyblade seemed to dance along the energy pillars as one by one they fell apart to its might, and the wielder seemed to be just terrifyingly pretty with his unimaginable flow of strength, agility, and... grace. Grace and nothing else.

With one final swipe of his Keyblade, he destroyed all the energy pillars Zero had thrown at him. He smile. The Way To Dawn was gleaming with power as he started towards Zero, walking slowly, "Careful my friend, I would not want you to -" The earth beneath Zero suddenly erupted to strike him backwards, "' fall off the castle!"

OOC: Gravity on reverse like the old man's. Instead of pulling you down, I'm pushing you upwards!

[Roxas 1994]

After slightly scanning the room, MegaMan had found the boy. He didn’t know what to do during times likes this. Was the boy dangerous, or was he an ally. Well, there was only one way to find out. The blue bomber held his breath as he took a step forward, hoping not to startle the boy.

“Hey,” MegaMan said in a soft voice, “what’s you name?’

MegaMan didn’t want to sound like he wanted to fight, so he made his very soft. He didn’t want to make the boy in front of him feel threatened. After all, the blue warrior had felt threatened the whole time he was in the realm.

[Azure]

OCC:... interesting.... nothing more... oh well try not to kill me..... or is it backwards

The wall of rock jumped upwards, and would have sent Zero upwards, had the repliid not reacted barely in time and dashed foward.. evading the assualt from the stones....

This guy... well he was what could be called an absolute defender... in other ways it would take more than a simple slash or hack to defeat him...

Better then....

Zero rose his sword throwing it as the Shield Bommerang. The hunter dashed behind his weapon.

The bommerang curved behind Riku and Zero shoot with his rifle... the plasma shoots not only aimed at Riku but at the Bommerang behind, the beam weapon would deflect all the bullets...

Surely a pincer attack should do the trick... this annoying key user had to be hit... one way or another.....

[Xuan]

Riku saw the pincer attack and began to devise a strategy to defeat it. He had saw this once when Zero had fought Megaman.

The energy beams are certainly annoying as Riku batted them away, deflected or not, just as long as the Shield Boomerang would close down the distance to half a metre.

And that's when he did the unimaginable. In a flash. he leaped over the Boomerang as it slipped behind him. Then, with a kick on the rifle, he swung his Keyblade down on Zero, intending to catch him off guard and deal damage.

[ShikaX]

"He's not a kid!!" the fairy Navi shouted. "He saved you from that weird guy that time in the first area.. but now I think we have to fight you.. since we're enemies.. I can't wait for this to end.." Navi sighed. Link nodded, and turned around. He was letting Mega Man prepare. "His name is Link, by the way." Navi answered Mega Man's question.

[Azure]

OCC: See I am liking this battle... yay for not uber super Riku!!!

IN: But that never happened... as the Way to Light soon meet the Way to Dawn....

In other words, Zero held a copy of the priced Keyblade of Riku, the contruct of energy meet it original in a standoff, before Zero backfliped, creating space between the two...

Catching the returning Bommeran Zero commented "It might be a fake made from my Z-Knuckle.... but I admit... this is a nice weapon..." Zero grinned as he held a stance smiliar to Riku's

"Come" Mimicing the enemy Zero awaited a responce...

OCC: The fake keyblade is a contruct of data gathered from Riku's fighting... (think of Roxa's data keyblade in the KH2 prologue, the Z-Knuckle is an glove Zero has that allows him to copy weapon's from enemy data and use them until they wear out....

Note that the fake is weaker and will not last long....

[Xuan]

OOC: I played Megaman X8, I know the copy ability. But I thought that's Axl's ability? Never mind >>

Riku was in shock when he saw that Zero now held an exact copy of The Way To Dawn in his hands. It might be fake, but Riku wondered whether it has the same strength with his. But he remembered something.

To become strong, you do not need to become others. You just need to be... yourself.

"You might stand a bigger chance using your Z-Saber, Zero!" Riku began to push Zero back slowly as his Keyblade crushed against Zero's, "Your own weapon always suits you best!" With one last stroke he slammed Zero backwards to the wall of earth he had created with tremendous force, grinning.

[Azure]

OCC: NO this is from the Megaman Zero games... that happen 100 years after the X games..... Also at the comment I was teamted to make the Z-Key Keychain and add it..

It would be fun.....

IN: Zero growled as he backflipped, he grinned at the reploid... "Well see... " Zero drew another weapon, his favorite sword the Z-Saber...

"You are right of somthing still.. this sword suits me best...." The two weapons... the fake Key-blade and the Z-Saber were held in the hands of the reploid as he lunged once again at the enemy... this time his sensors set to predict and counter Riku....

Zero would not give up....

[Wzrdto25]

Mario and Luigi came to a halting stop in front of a Blue and Green guy (hahaha) and watched as bowser followed making the entire floor shake.
"Link!" Shrieked Mario and Luigi. "Do'a you remember us'a?"
Luigi hid behind Link as bowser spit fire at them. Mario jumped in the way of the fire and use his cape to disperse the fire. It licked away and faded he smiled.
"It's a me aMario" he said giving Link a thumbs up.

[Xuan]

"Two??" Riku was surprised to see Zero charging towards him with two blades. But no matter. He could take Zero on anytime he wanted, disadvantaged or not.

It's about time to spring the trap anyway.

OOC: I said I made preparations before. The first is to discard LD Form, but I didn't say the rest. Guess what it is :P

[ShikaX]

"but aren't you one of those, 'Gaming Gods', Like Zelda?" Navi said. Link stepped away from the three of them, Mario, Luigi, and Bowser. "Why should we trust you.. even though it would be the right thing to save you but.. for all we know, you could be acting!" Navi continued. Link looked at the two. not sure whether he should trust them or not.

[Azure]

Zero rolled back as he sliced down and entered the hole his twin weapons had made.

"Wonderboy... let's meet again if we can!" Zero grinned, he had wished to stay but that was imposible.... there would be a next time... right......

OCC: Sorry can't stay any longer.... it is about 12 PM here... and I have skool in the morrow......

Let's play another time....

[Wzrdto25]

"You're not one of those Heroes are you?" Asked Luigi. Mario looked at him fiercely. Bowser stopped and put some kind of scanner over his eye and looked down at Link. It flashed, Hero : Terminate. He took out a blaster cannon and aimed it at Link. Before he knew what he was doing Luigi jumped in the way and flew backwards a green aura expelling around him. Mario rushed over to Link.
"Please Link" begged Mario. "Helpa my brother and I."

[ShikaX]

"After we waste all our strength, you'll just kill us. So, what's in it for us?" Navi asked, Link aggreing. Without taking eyes of Mario, he took out a bow and an ice arrow and aimlessly fired at bowser. It would slow him down hopefully, so that he and Mario could talk. Well... so Mario and Navi can talk..

[Xuan]

Riku couldn't believe it. He was about to spring his most-ingenious-super-duper-traps of the world and the enemy just... escaped? he sat down sulkily and began to mutter mindlessly, "Must've been... dammit, I'm so handsome!... How come I can't always get a good fight... stupid Sora... I wonder how Kairi's doing..."

Seems like Riku had picked up some bad habits after his 'Awakening'...

Still, Riku wondered, why exactly had Zero leaped back down the castle? Had he forgotten that their objective is to get out of it? He was tempted to pull that reploid back up mainly because he wanted to pummel him with his trap, but a small part of him also scream for that very reason.

Deciding that he should ignore everything in the world, he slept.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario shifted his feet and smiled.
"You're are a right" said Mario. A star from above flew into the room and circled around his body he smiled. "I should just eliminate you." He laughed and Luigi got up from his ashes newly formed. He reached towards Mario and forced him to attack Bowser rather than Link.
Mario lit up red and started to fly around Bowser, too fast to be hit. Luigi jumped on Mario's back and began exploding green fireballs at Bowser. Bowser spread fire throughout the room, catching the walls and paintings on fire. Mario spun in a circle Luigi landed on Bowser's back and ran up his spine slamming his butt into Bowser's head. Fire exploded from his mouth again, Mario pulled out his cape once more and laughed as Bowser lay stuck in the floorboards, expelling fire upwards but no where else.
Mario turned his attention to Link. A fireball formed in his hand. A floating rainbow orb appeared between the two. Mario smiled starting to chase after it, hoping Link wouldn't know what it was.

[ShikaX]

Link's eyes widened. He raced for it. He remembered what it was. He never saw one here before. He quickly took out his gale boomerrang and used it on mario, hoping it would push him away so that Link would have enought time to destroy. "Link!! GO LINK GO! GO LINK GO! GO LINK GO!" Navi cheered. She didn't know what it was, but thought it was important so she cheered Link on.

[Xuan]

OOC: I'm bored and I have time. Why don't I just join the battle with Link, it's not like I get to fight Mario and Luigi everyday.

Rumble.

"Mmkuaishmm..."

Rumble.

"Not again..." Riku woke up from his sleep. His sense tell him that someone was down there, and they're not friendly. Heck, since when they're ever friendly anyway? But he only recognised Link's aura, the other two is completely unfamiliar... wait, unfamiliar means...

"The God's pet!" Riku immediately leaped down the hole and flew towards them. He was fast, but not fast enough. If the God's pet had destroyed Link, then he would be next in target, and he must get there before everything's too late.

[Wzrdto25]

Luigi grabbed whatever the object was and tossed it against the wall. It landed in pieces and he looked shocked. He lit in a rainbow aura and looked around. Some strange green cloud of smoke filled the room making everything look vibrant and stick out in 3d. He couldn't quite understand what was happening but everything around him started spinning.
Mario watched as Link and Luigi were trapped in a cloud of heavy Green smoke. Another smash ball appeared inside of the cloud, Mario knew better then to rush into an unknown area and waited wondering if the cloud would clear up.

OOC: Hardy har har

[Xuan]

Riku could see Mario, Luigi and Link now. To his surprise, Luigi and Link are trapped in a green cloud of smoke and seemed to be dazed by it. Mario was standing beside, waiting for something. He was dumbfounded. They didn't seem to be dangerous at all, in fact, they looked... stupid.

"Er... are you guys playing, or what?" Seeing that the other two is in no condition to talk, he asked Mario.

[ShikaX]

Navi floated next to Mario. "so... how much do you bet Link's gonna win?" Navi said. She couldn't die, she would just dissappear if Link died, she was absically Link's guardian.

Link looked aorund. Sudden;y a flower popped on his hea,d and whenver he moved he tripped. He quickly got tired, but was smart and jumped in the air. He was slow. He slowly swung his sword down, hoping it would hit the smash ball.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario laughed and watched ad Luigi spun in a circle. Instead of the smash ball being broken it was knocked from the Green clouds and into the sky.
"You thinkin' what I'm think'" He asked Navi giggling. He thought that Link would be the first to break the smashball but unluckily for them it landed right above Bowser who sprayed fire into the air and exploded, transforming into a gigantic monster. The cloud faded and Mario looked shocked.
"Excusa mea But I'ma gettin' the hell outta herea" screamed Luigi running up the closest stair case. Mario sighed calling another star to help him. Bowser looked down.

[Xuan]

OOC: Er... I did not GM did I? So Why am I getting no response?

Riku poked at Mario's big head, "Hello, earth to Mario! Can you tell me what's going on in here?"

[ShikaX]

"MEEP!!! Link! GO NOW!!" Navi said. Link had been out of the circle, and landed right on it's edge, then tried running.. he didn't exactly want to bet tackled.. or even worse.. by a humongous giant of doom. He ran, hoping that he wouldn't get caught.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario ran next to Link. "Okay I realize I threatened you back there. But Could we take this guy down and then fight." He slid his hat backwards and sent a star flying at bowser from between his cupped hands. It flew and smacked him in the face. Mario looked pathetically happy. Luigi stared down at the giant monster from a hole in the ceiling a Boo appeared over his shoulder. He pulled his vacuum out sucking them up. Then he got an Idea he put the vacuum on reverse and sent them flying at Bowser with the Stars.

[Xuan]

Riku simply watched the battle. It seems that these two God's Pet is... what he reckoned as the stupidiest being he had ever seen in his life. Link will definitely win no matter what, he just need to sit aside and watch the show goes on...

Running water shouldn't hit them so soon yet, he hoped.

[ShikaX]

Link sighed, after taking one large step away from Mario, he pulled out bomb arrows and a bow. He let go fo one, that was aimed for bowser's chest. If it hit, he'd have a black mark on his chest probably. If it missed.. well.. there goes some of the flooring or wall. Navi went to Link's side. "just remember to keep your guard up.. it seems Mario cna fly around while luigi is only dangerous when he gets those smash balls, or when he uses his vacuum." she whispered into his ear, Link nodded.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario slammed into Bowser head on with a Blue star. Bowser froze in place. He jumped up and slammed into bowser the smash ball started to float around again as Bowser completely disappeared and materialized into the heavens. Mario shot a fire ball at the Smashball but missed Luigi kept firing Boo's everywhere. Mario was still trying to get the smashball. With surprise a soccer ball appeared in front of him. He smiled.

[ShikaX]

Link remembered that, too. He ran, and threw a boomerang at the soccer ball. Then, he jumped into the air and spun around, hoping he would hit it. One thing he wanted to do was to at least get that soccer ball of doom away from mario. That would buy him some time.

[Xuan]

Riku was yawning. Not only this was the worst gaming gods he had ever seen, they are also the most boring fighters in the world. He had completely no idea what is going on and decided that he would have a little fun himself. He started to play with his magic as a small stream of Blizzagun began to circle his fingers and he watched the movement of the flow.

The two gaming Gods are still trying to get the smashball...

[Wzrdto25]

Mario fell flat on his face. Luigi leaned over to see what was happening and fell right on top of him. Mario gave a grunting sound as Link hit the smashball, slicing it in two. Luigi looked shocked, running around the room in hysterical motions moaning. Mario rubbed his butt and got back up his head aching. If he could'nt have the smashball maybe the soccer ball would suffice.

[ShikaX]

Link glowed a bit. His eyes changing different colors. Now, Mario would be a nice one to get out of the way, but was stronger than Luigi who was just running around. He was happy he had a mid-ranged speciall. the triforce slash. Who to use it on... That was the main problem.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario had almost reached the Soccer ball when Luigi fell face-first into the wall. The ceiling above crashed down, the rocks covered the ground where Mario was running to. He cursed lightly under his breath and put up a fist that told Link to bring it on. He hoped by now the God's would send another Croney to help.

[Xuan]

Riku's Blizzagun spell accidentally slipped off a little when there was a grunt from Mario and he couldn't keep himself from bursting out laughing. The Blizzagun accidentally frozen the floor beneath Mario and Riku know he should run before the Gaming Gods decided to turn on him. He quickly fly back to the top of the castle and watch from above.

OOC: Does that help? Anyway, I think it's best i see from afar... strange battle HAHAHAHAHAHA

[ShikaX]

Link ran towards him, sword out. He had to get this hit. Before any more trouble had happened. Then all that would matter owuld be getting to the top of the tower. He had his guard up as he ran towards Mario. This had to hit.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario winced but it wasn't him who fell into the hit, instead Luigi got the blunt of the attack. Mario jumped back, trying not to get pulled in. Luigi winked at him as Link began his supersmash attack.
Mario couldn't defeat these guys alone he looked up. Begging them to do something, anything.

[ShikaX]

Link twitched. This was not what he wanted to ahppen. But it ahd already started. Link slashed Luigi once, as a triforce formed around Luigi. Then he quickly attacked him multiple times, finally, after a number of hits, he swung his sword back as far as he could go, and swung it as hard as he could, hopefully sending Luigi far, far away.

[Wzrdto25]

Luigi flew away dissolving in mid-flight. Mario clutched his cape and shut his eyes. He knew he would be sent back to where he came. Suddenly a noise came as a giant ship pulled over to the giant window and revealed two familiar characters on board.

OOC: I'll make it easy XD


http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/goldn_scales/SSBB/Yoshi.pnghttp://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/goldn_scales/SSBB/Peach.png

[ShikaX]

Link couldn't handle this anymore. The last time he sued these was when he was a kid, but they would still work. He threw a deku nut on the gorund and ha vanished. He was really in the room next to them, but at least he was able to relax.

[Xuan]

"Oh - My - God. Am I seeing what I'm seeing?" As Luigi was defeated, two new Gaming Gods came to assist Mario in their battle to fight Link. As the gigantic ship suddenly popped into view, he couldn't wait but stare eagerly at the newcomers? Who would it be? Another Ganon? Or some eight legged spiders? What -

A princess and a mini dragon.

Wait, are we getting it right here? A princess and a dragon tinier than me? Riku thought outloud. He simply couldn't believe his eyes.

He guessed that this is the entertainment the God sent him: To see how Link defeat those funny Gaming Gods into a pulp.

He waited eagerly for the hilarious show to start... but he wasn't getting any. Link escaped from battle.

"WHAT??"

Another terrible day for our hero Riku as he wailed and punching his fist on the floor.

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi jumped down and went after Riku rolling into an egg and slamming into the ground. Peach landed on the ground holding an umbrella.
"Peach! Yoshi!" Exclaimed Mario. Peach dashed forward after Riku as well. Mario followed.

[Helix: The True Hero]

As Sephiroth finished his vigorous bout with the sonar creature, he plotted his next route to the interior of the castle. He took the left path on the bridged corridor and arrived at the front gate, which seemed to stare down at him with a ominous intensity. He pushed them open and stepped inside.

The castle was what most might have expected: beautifully crafted walls, splashed with seemingly-ancient pictures, symbolizing past events that had taken place within these walls. Green-tinted candles glowed on the upper boundaries of the rooms, casting a feint green glow on the furniture below. Sephiroth held his blade firmly in his hand, and began the journey to the skyway.

[Xuan]

OOC: Oh crap. But never mind, because...

Riku had no idea what the three cronies of God are doing, but it seems that they're coming for him.

Should he felt honoured or humiliated? He really don't know. He just held his Keyblade on hands and ready.

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi aimed at slamming his egg form into Riku's legs. Peach provided a heavy kick and Mario exploded a fireball towards him. They waited for Riku to respond.

[Xuan]

".... This is certainly unexpected. How did you guys get to the rooftop so quickly??" Riku was caught by surprise as he easily dodged the eggs and clumsy kick, but the fireball struck him full in the chest to win a grunt of pain. They might look crazy, but their attacks are not.

"Ah, never mind. Show me whatcha got!" Riku begin to swing his Keyblade as he inched cautiously towards them.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake relayed the data in the back of his head, crawling through an air duct he spotted a sliver haired weirdo going through the halls. When the silver guy entered a large Ballroom Snake dashed after him, keeping his feet silent. He pulled out a rocket launcher and aimed hoping he would hit the man.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/goldn_scales/SSBB/Snake.png

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi and Peach fell to the ground. Peach landed on Yoshi's back and pulled out her umbrella using it as a sword to block Riku's hit. Mario aimed another fireball at Riku and hoped the same effect would work.

[Helix: The True Hero]

His senses jumped on high as he felt the presence of another within the room. He drew his blade once more and prepared himself well. Casting a dark protective veil on himself, he ensured that any damage taken wouldn't affect him greatly.

He stayed silent, attempting to pinpoint the newcomer's location before he was spotted himself...

[Xuan]

It was simply unbelievable, but RIku was struck twice by the same magic. As he writhed and screamed, trying to shake off the fire that threatened to burn him alive, he... disspated to nothingness, allowing the real Riku to strike them from behind.

"Sweet dreams." He swung his Keyblade down on Mario.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake's finger slipped over the trigger easily. The rocket took flight and Snake rolled, snugging himself in a box. He watched to see the silver man as it flew after him. He pulled a knife from its case and held it by him.

[Helix: The True Hero]

The familiar sound of an incoming projectile flooded the room. The overhead chandelier shook slightly, casting glints of light across the room.

Sephiroth turned to face the incoming rocket and held out his hand. Pools of darkness erupted from the floor, lashing out at the rocket in hopes of ensnaring it. Meanwhile Sephiroth searched for the as-yet-unseen opponent.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario flew back with the powerful attack and winced with pain. Peach ran over to Riku and kicked him away from Mario. Yoshi threw his hands out protecting them both from Riku's sudden attack. Wings sprouted from Yoshi's back and a fireball formed in his mouth. Peach gave Mario an Onion and chopped it up. Mario got back up, clutching his back.

[Xuan]

Riku backed off, wincing a little from the painful kick Peach had delivered to get him away from Mario. Unfortunately for him, that trick only worked out for one person and not three at once.

What to do next?

He decided that he should just blast them off the castle as he began to fire uncountable Light and Dark Cannons towards the enemy.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake's eyes gleamed. "This guy can use magic?" He asked the Boss.

"His name is Sephiroth" spoke the intel.

"Any ideas?" Snake asked looking around the room.

"Got any hidden explosives?"

"A couple.'

Snake threw the box back and slipped some explosives on the ground around the room holding the remote. He waited for Sephiroth to act.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario and Peach hopped on Yoshi's back as he flew around the room aiming enormous fireballs at Riku. Peach flew some mixtures of food at him while Mario aimed fireballs. It would have been pathetic for a normal person to watch but it packed a punch.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Once the rocket was taken care of, Sephiroth cautiously moved forward, blade in hand, magic set to use. He swung his head around in all directions, hoping to catch a glimpse of an attacker. Until then, he would be a complete and total sitting duck.

He strengthened the veil of darkness around him, in both an act of self-security...and desperation.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake slid himself onto the roof and waited for the man to walk near one of the explosives carefully hidden on the ground below.

[Xuan]

Riku's Dark and Light cannons clashed against the enemy's fireballs. It would seem that they are equal, but who will win the endurance test? He knows not. He can only fire Dark and Light Cannons non-stop for now.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth could hear sounds coming from the roof. He prepared a dark-thundaga to strike the outside of the castle, but was caught off guard by a nearby explosive. His potential spell dissipated as he was heaved back by the bomb.

"Nobody does that to me..." he growled, struggling to stand back up.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario slipped to the ground and aimed a star at Riku. A giant yellow star flew at his enemy and he waited. Peach and Yoshi provided the distraction.

[Xuan]

Riku nearly missed the huge star Mario had threw at him as he was so engrossed with pumping his energy into firing Dark and Light Cannons. Lucky for him, he still has one hand to use.

"Water!" A huge gust of water suddenly appeared behind Riku before it crushed towards the yellow star's direction with the force of nature behind it.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake slid from the roof to behind a chandelier and watched as he fell into the trap. He aimed the rocket at him and let it go smirking.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth regained his balance as he heard a second incoming missile. As before, he summoned the dark pools to snare the missile and destroy it.

"You'll have to think of something else other than rockets, I'm afraid..." he spoke to nowhere, hoping the attacker would catch word.

[Wzrdto25]

Mario sent a blue star after him next and watched as the water froze. Mario fell back injured too much energy drained. Yoshi let peach off and she floated down on an umbrella. Yoshi flew after riku a fire breath going with him.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake slipped down behind Sephiroth and slashed with his knife trying to hit him.

[Xuan]

Riku leaped with everything he's got and managed to avoid most of the flames from that mini dragon, but still it was hot enough to burn away some skin. Straining to keep up, Riku began to devise a new strategy as he casted a spell on his body and charged forwards to Yoshi, intent to kill it before it cause anymore damage.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth was struck in the back by a sharp object, suddenly, but the dark veil nullified the attack. He turned to face his opposer.

The man that stood before him had an aura different from that of other players. He seemed more powerful, as well. An almost god-like quality about him made Sephiroth want to drop his blade and....bow down? But he would not.

Sephiroth readied his blade and sighed.

"Why must it always end with violence...?"

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi flew forward with all the force he had. His firebreath seemed to fade as riku shot through it. He flew forward even faster.

[Wzrdto25]

"The God's sent me." He smiled and pulled out a larger sword to face Sephiroth. He pulled out a second blade and circle his foe intently looking for a weak spot.

[Xuan]

Riku smiled. He knew that if his enemy would dare to even touch him, The Reflect magic that he had coated on his body would immediately absorb the damage and rebound on the enemies. His Keyblade grew brighter as he charged his power into it. He was worried that he might be too tired to fight the other two cronies after this Limit attack, but it would be better than to waste his strength trying to take down three fresh enemies.

[Helix: The True Hero]

"Gods...?

He smiled straight back at the warrior, noticing his attempts to trace any weaknesses of Sephiroth's. He would find none...

"Well, it's about time you seized your silly game of Hide-and-Seek."

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi could do nothing to stop the figure. He watched as the weapon he was holding grew brighter. Yoshi had time to look back at his two friends before flying full force head-butting at Riku. A comet of fire blazed behind him.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake smiled. He dashed forward but instead of attacking Sephiroth he disappeared into the wall and shot out from another. He repeated this as to confuse his opponent and put a explosive on the tip of his sword and slashed at his foe finally. Hoping it would work he winced.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth saw the explosive on his blade, so what would be the best response?

Throwing the blade at him, of course. And he did.

[Xuan]

OOC: I assume that's a yes for me to use a Limit...

Yoshi's headbutt did nothing but to stop Riku's charge a little, but Reflect had did what it was suppose to do. It absorbed the full blunt force and became Riku's strength to strike his hardest against Yoshi's scale (Did Yoshi have scales like a real dragon?), "Get off the battlefield you mini dragon! LIGHT!" A powerful vertical slash was heading for Yoshi's head.

[Wzrdto25]

Snake was pinned to the wall with Sephiroths blade and tried to break free. The beep went off and sent the fall flying in pieces towards Sephiroth. Instead of revealing a body it led to the strip of land at the other side of the castle. It just barely hung over the edge of the waterfall, the currents pushed down. Snake was outside beckoning and teasing his opponent to come forward.


OOC: By the way I meant my sword were regular sized, Bigger than the dagger he was holding XD

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth wouldn't acknowledge him, however, and gathered his remaining energy to head for a resting place.

((Half-assed posts = time for bed.))

[Wzrdto25]

Yoshi felt the force of the limit and flew backwards fading slightly. Peach got up as Mario started to fade too, from his giant stab wound. She was enraged beyond belief she got up holding every weapon she could muster and stepped lightly and delicately forward, a true princess despite the situation. She danced over to Riku putting her umbrella over her shoulder and smiled.
"You're gonna pay big time" she smiled.

[Xuan]

Seeing two enemies fading away did nothing to cheer Riku up. He was in fact, too tired to fight after that Limit and can rely on only instincts to aid him in the battle. He needed more time.

If he could just hang out for three minutes, then he could use the LD Form and win the battle. If only he could hang out for three minutes... Staring at the enraged yet hilarious looking princess, Riku couldn't help but chuckle at how ridiculous this battle it seemed to be. He held The Way to Dawn high and readied himself.

[Wzrdto25]

"Laughing are we" said Peach suddenly she transformed. Her dress became a suit of armor made from pink hearts. She wore a helmet that was shaped like a heart and carried a wand with hearts decorating it. She spun around and revealed her hair tied back like a whip. She gave a peace sign and spun in a circle like a tornado her hair slashing at Riku. Hearts flew at him as she did so. She giggled.
"Be afraid.... be very afraid."

[Xuan]

"Shut up, woman. You're the one who's supposed to cower behind the walls... wait, I mean curtains." Riku struggled to hold his composure at the shock and uncontrollable laughter that threatened to blow his lungs apart. He was completely helpless as he was struck by the strange heart and crazy whip struck him and sent backwards. And STILL he couldn't stop laughing. Deep within his heart, a word began to take form.

Ohno.

[Wzrdto25]

She blew hearts all hit. As they hit the walls acid began to burst from them eating away at whatever it touched. Peach smiled, he may think it was funny, but she wasn't one to mess with. She aimed her heart wand directly at him and whirled it in circles.

[Xuan]

Finally regaining some kind of control, Riku suddenly realised that he had just laughed away one minute of time. Two minutes left to go, and the princess had proven herself that she is no slack. Well, he already knew that earlier for her kick packed a punch, but the acidic hearts cemented the fact.

Riku spoke in a mocking tone, "Ok ok, so you can melt walls as you wish. So what? You can't melt me!" And with that, he took a frontal approach with his other hands ready to cast whatever spell necessary in close combat.

[Wzrdto25]

Peach threw her make up at him and gave him a frown. She ran to the other side of the room and waited.

[Xuan]

"..." Riku had no idea what the woman is thinking about, but he reckoned that this is the perfect oppurtunity for him to recuperate. he starts to rest, but still held his Keyblade in front of him, in case those makeups turn out to be dangerous.

OOC: Hatta go eat lunch, I'll be back in one hour and fifteen minutes. If you're still there by then, then we continue this battle.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn let out a cry as several dog-like creatures jumped out at him. He managed to leap back, avoiding the sharp teeth that threatened to snap his arm off. "Why do these stupid things always happen to me?"

The blonde warrior deflected a slash from one of the creatures as another dashed behind him. That one jumped, leaping on Stahns back and biting hard into his shoulder. Stahn yelled out in pain, and grabbed the one off his back and threw it over him. The yong warrior hissed as he touched the heavily bleeding wound. Augh...this won't heal easily...

He was distracted by the wound, which wasn't good. Three more of the creatures surrounded him, each one hungry for his flesh. Stahn growled, looked alla round him. Not good. "Alright! Dymlos, Flame Wall!" A wall of fire erupted in front of him, and the warrior spun around, parrying a bite from one of the creatures behind him.

Stahn smirked, One on one. He quickly did the three strike combo, knocking back the dog-like creature, wounding it heavily. The Flame Wall effectively kept the other two creatures at bay while Stahn took care of the first, but it was already fading. He turned his attention to the next two, grinning. "Ready?"

The two beasts lunged forward, just as Stahn slashed horizontally, hitting both at once. It wasn't very powerful, but it was highly effective. Both of the beasts were knocked back, rolling into a wall. The beasts growled at Stahn, and leapt up.

Stahn smirked, "Time to end it! Flame Strike!" He charged forward, Dymlos burrsting into flames. He quickly slashed vertically at one of the creatures, then spun around intoa full 360 degree spin, effectively slashing both of the creatures into oblivion.

The blonde warrior sheathed Dymlos. He was panting; it was a hard workout for him. "Good job, Dymlos."

"Good job? You did all the work," Dymlos complimented.

Stahn sighed, leaning against the wall. "Just a little rest..." His hand went up, covering his bloody shoulder. "And maybe time for this to close..."

((One post...and I gotta go...great))

[Xuan]

Riku sat behind the safety of walls, sighing as he began to treat his wounds using Curaga. However, instead of the conventional way of healing, he merely used the tiniest of energy to heal specific and more serious wounds. He could ignore the small scratches and slightly burned fingertips for surely, who ever died of a burned fingertip?

He sighed. The fight with Zero might seemed to be easy, but in truth he has wasted quite an amount of concentration and power just to defend his attack. The reploid's Giga Crush was something: If he hadn't hold his Keyblade tight, it might've slipped off at the first energy pillar. Certainly his flow as a swordsman had helped him, but it never said anything about humility. And humility in battle is to invite death itself. Sometimes.

Only twelve of the once massive crowd of heroes are left. Riku couldn't help but feel a slight fear for whoever this God is. Sure, teleporting them from absolutely every corner of the world to one specific place is frightful enough, but to take them out of the game so easily is unimaginable. At least, he couldn't imagine anyone taking out that stubborn reploid called Zero, Sephiroth, or even Megaman. And of course, if anyone could ever take him out when he's in his True Form, then he would make a living by clowning for the rest of his life.

Three minutes has passed, and still no sign of the enemy. Riku began to wonder whether their fight has ended just like that. Simple and confusing. But since he has been given the chance to completely rejuvenate, Riku is not about to waste it. With a quick flex of his left hand, a huge chunk of rock is blasted from the castle and set to block any passage that would allow the enemy to assault him by land. The strain of the magic caught him by surprise as he clutched his head, determined not to black out that instant. Whatever it is that held this castle together, it is immensely powerful.

Riku struggled to stand up as he looked around, reassuring himself that for now, the position he had chosen is safe. He knew that this would be his final battle on this castle, for it won't be long until he was transported to the next battlefield. Either that, or he's officially... snapped.

Using the last drops of his energy, he casted Reflegun on himself and immediately drew into a dreamless slumber. The last thing he remembered before snoring like a pig is that Sora didn't make it along with him.

OOC: After reading Stahn's impressive capability in writing, i decide to make an impression of my own and compete :D

[Frogs557]

Fox shook his head. Water? he hated this... but he stepped forward through the unending corridors anyway. He sighed. A flooding castle. just his luck.
12 Remain, Share the blame...
What did it mean? Fox hated the way whoever this was spoke in riddles. He walked down the hall, his boots' clack clacking on the stone floors piercing his thoughts. The silence was... unbearable. He knew there were others here, but where? Why was it so quiet? He shook his head. He wanted answers. No, he NEEDED answers. He clenched his fists. He would get answers, he swore. Then his sensors beeped. "Water detected." He looked down atv the floor and realized there WAS water there. Crap... The water was rising rapidly. The area was flooding. He broke into an all out run, trying to get down the hallway, to reach some stairs or SOMETHING he could climb to get higher.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth had managed to escape from the man named Snake, but at a dangerous price. His wounds were deep, even when the attacks were nullified by a protective veil of darkness. He was surpirised by the amount of strength that the man had demonstrated, and made it a current priority not to under-estimate competition.

Walking with a slight limp to the next floor of the castle, Sephiroth was unsure if his atacker was still nearby, so he kept up his guard, in case he was caught off guard once more. He summoned darkness to his feet, picking up the speed necessary for a shortened journey up the flight of stairs that spiraled almost endlessely abovel, all the while using small burts of darkness to partially heal his wounds...

[Frogs557]

Fox finally came to a staircase. He ran up it as fast as he could, trying to get away from the rising water. "I hate this... hate it, hate it, hate it... why am i here? who brought me?" He sighed, still running. He had begun to think he would never find out. Running up the stairs, he froze. He heard the footsteps of someone above him, running up as well. Who could it be? He clenched his teeth, letting out a low growl. Whoever it was, if he was an enemy, would soon feel the burn of his lasers. He continued running, bent on catching up to whoever was up there.

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan let out a sigh as he walked into another room. He had to get away from the water that was still flooding the castle. He didn't feel like swimming in these tight corners. The blue bomber had to make it to the top of the castle somehow. He needed to escape.

“Where should we go?” MegaMan asked himself as he scanned the room. “Maybe I should aim my Megabuster upwards and shot the ceiling.”

MegaMan quickly glanced back, seeing a little puddle of water behind him. The water was rising faster now. The blue warrior needed to move, and fast! He quickly raised his Megabuster towards the cracked ceiling. He took careful aim as he shot a single Megabuster laser at the ceiling. The laser broke through the ceiling, making the stone above crumble. Huge rocks almost fell on the blue bomber as he ran the other way, trying to escape the falling stone.

In seconds, the stone stopped crumbling and the blue bomber entered the room once again. He quickly glanced back up at the ceiling, seeing how much damage he did. To his surprise, he found a big hole in the stone. With a slight smile, the boy jumped forward, catching the edge of the ceiling with his free hand. He pulled himself up, and slightly rolled on the stone.

[Frogs557]

Fox came to the end of a staircase, standing in a room full of large stones. "What?" The dust was still settling. The cieling had collapsed recently. He stood for a second, thinking. The water licking at his heels made up his mind for him. He jumped through the hole in the cieling, almost colliding with megaman. Fox whipped out his blaster, preparing for battle.

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan jumped to his left, dodging the incoming Fox. He had been surprised by the new enemy, and he was caught off guard. He needed to react quickly if he wanted to stay alive. With a small grunt, the blue bomber raised his Megabuster, aiming it at Fox. He didn’t know if this new warrior was a friend or a foe, so he had to be on his guard.

“Who are you?” MegaMan asked, holding his Megabuster shot. “Are you on my team, or do you want to kill me?”

[Frogs557]

Fox didn't bother to answer, pulling the trigger on his gun. A barrage of energy bolts fired at megaman, ripping through the air toward the blue bombers head.
Scanning... scanning...
His visor beeped as the scan was completed. "I see..." Fox said. "So that's his weakness..."

[Roxas 1994]

Seeing the lasers flying at him, MegaMan knew that Fox was a foe. He quickly released his own barrage of laser from his Megabuster, striking at the lasers Fox had fired. The two pairs of lasers deflected off each other, giving the blue bomber enough time to find cover behind a stone pillar in the room.

“It looks like we found an opponent, Mega,” MegaMan explained to the alien in his left arm. “Got any idea?”

Omega-Xis nodded his head sideways, not knowing what to do. And with his answer, there was only once option left. He would have to face this new opponent head on. With a small sigh, the blue bomber dashed away from the cover the stone pillar gave him, firing round after round of Megabuster shots at his opponent.

[Frogs557]

Fox jumped to avoid the barrage of megabuster fire, tossing a small ball forward. The ball hit the ground and rolled toward megaman. Beep...beep... Then it exploded, blowing out the floor and sending shrapnel and debris toward megaman.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Now fully healed of all minor and major injuries, Sephiroth continued his rigorous journey to the end of the castle, gliding along the satin-carpeted stairs with his newly-acquired darkness. As he turned and turned and turned, corkscrewing himself up the flight of stairs, he noticed large paintings dabbed across the entirety of the inner walls of the castle. Strange and surreal events were portrayed in each picture, telling a story of mystery.

But stopping and admiring artwork was not what Sephiroth was interested in at the moment. He was now hoping to find an enemy worthy enough to live up to his standards as a fighter. With the darkness now infused once more with his soul, Sephiroth needed to test it...and what better way to experiment than on an opponent?

He was nearing the top of the flight now, unknowing of what may lay ahead, waiting for him...

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn had ling since stopped fighting. Too many of the strange beasts had come, and he was far outnumbered. Now he was running. Left, right, left again... He ran through the hallways, searching for anyone or anything that could help. And he ran...

Right into a battle. Fox to his left, and Megaman to his right. "Fox!?"

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Sakura shelved her investigation of the haphazard palace to a low priority. Its bad condition concerned her dearly; she very well could plunge through the delicate, limp floorboards. Besides, every washed out walkway she had entered looked near identical to the one before. Outsized canvases that displayed unidentified people watched her with their eyes, and the incandescent scent of frosty dust was ever-present. Sakura peered into the filthy window, craning her head into its smooth face. The cascading waterfall surged water into the depth of a deep ravine; where it had stopped was far from Sakura’s knowledge. It looked endless from her vantage point high in the stone fortress.

[Frogs557]

Fox turned to stahn. "Stahn!" He shouted. "I think i got rid of megaman! Blew the floor out from under him! He put his pistol away. "Where are we?"

[Helix: The True Hero]

A familiar sense crowded Sephiroth's thoughts. Another fighter was close by. He veiled himself in darkness once more, forming a barrier of protective covering to allow him an advantage. He followed his senses, casting a vision of darkness across the walls of the castle to locate a potential threat. Even when none was seem, he had yet to let down his guard. His blade, teetering on the edge of his fingers, would be his lifeline now.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn blinked, looking left and right. Fox has it, he doesn't need help. He heard a growl from behind, But I do! he dashed left, into another hallway. And ran into a stairwell. "Dymlos! Aid me!" The blade glowed with a bright red light, and he leapt up the stairs, three at a time.

And then...he ran into something he wasn't expecting...

[Chaser's Apprentice]

A familiar sense crowded Sephiroth's thoughts. Another fighter was close by. He veiled himself in darkness once more, forming a barrier of protective covering to allow him an advantage. He followed his senses, casting a vision of darkness across the walls of the castle to locate a potential threat. Even when none was seem, he had yet to let down his guard. His blade, teetering on the edge of his fingers, would be his lifeline now.

Occasionally, the ground gave out a hushed groan, stifled by the floorboard’s bulkiness. Sakura couldn’t help but flinch. She paced delicately into the grimy corridor, leaping up whenever the floorboards had growled at her. Sakura’s baton was trembling independently, without her say-so. It was reacting to something, and the frissons each became more aggressive as Sakura carried on. Her senses reinforced with a distinct sensitivity, but what was she sensing?

[Helix: The True Hero]

Without any motive for doing so, or even any self-obtainable knowledge of such an action, Sephiroth leaped into the musty air, flinging himself directly at the location of the enemy. His blade and body tensed, he crashed through the semi-reinforced castle wall and landed at the beginning of another, almost identical, stairway. He stood, brushed the stray tufts of dust off his wing, and came to face...a girl?

This was the first female he had seen in the game thus far, but the fact that she was a girl wouldn't shake his perceptions of what this war was about, or lower his guard because of it. He held his blade to point ominously at the girl.

"As they say: ladies first..." he stated bluntly, expected her to perceive it as a signal for battle.

[Frogs557]

Fox watched stahn run away. "Well... looks like he'll be just fine..." He turned and began looking for a staircase. "Need to get higher..."

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn heard something, the sound of a blade. He moved forward, "It's that guy from before..." The guy who nearly killed me. "And another girl..."

THe blonde warrior surged forward, drawing Dymlos. "You're going DOWN!" He went for a powerful stab from behind, aimed to impale the One-Winged Angel.

[Helix: The True Hero]

Sephiroth drew attention away from the girl and focused on the familiar warrior behind him. He spun around in a fury of darkness and feathers, blocking the jab. He grunted, fighting off the man, while keeping a small amount of attention fixated on the girl.

"A bit hasty, aren't you...?" he sneered.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn smirked, "I've learned a few tricks since we last fought." He leapt back, throwing Dymlos in a curve. "Strike from behind!" The blonde warrior himself jumped into the air, bringing his leg down in a powerful drop kick. "Take this!"

[Frogs557]

Fox followed the sounds of battle and jumped into the room. Seeing sakura, he growled, pulling out his pistol. "YOU!!!" He screamed, firing shot after shot at sakura.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Without any motive for doing so, or even any self-obtainable knowledge of such an action, Sephiroth leaped into the musty air, flinging himself directly at the location of the enemy. His blade and body tensed, he crashed through the semi-reinforced castle wall and landed at the beginning of another, almost identical, stairway.

"As they say: ladies first..." he stated bluntly, expected her to perceive it as a signal for battle.

Was it an approach of pity? Sakura beamed at the spiteful man her signature, crooked smile, not concerned at all. She had an advantage. Sakura delved into her vibrant rucksack that dangled limp alongside her, hoping that the stranger wouldn’t get impatient. She snatched the first card in reach. “Let’s go, Sword card. Firey card!” The magical baton that Sakura clutched securely in her hands burnished with a scarlet glaze. It modified to what appeared to be a razor longsword, bursting with a hot inferno that enveloped it entirely. “Wrong move!” She rushed at Sepheroth, fluctuating her movement around the room.

[Helix: The True Hero]

To avoid any unnecessary conflict, Sephiroth used the darkness in the air to teleport himself a short distance away from the double-attack. Seeing all the competition, he sighed, finalizing that he, as strong as he was, would not be able to withstand so many battles at once. He fled, and waiting for the right time to retaliate.

((Gotta go! >_<))

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn quickly caught Dymlos, growling. "Coward!" He sighed, lowering his gaurd and turning to the girl. "You okay?" Then he noticed Fox firing at her. That set him into battle mode as he leapt back, "An enemy!?" He readied his blade. "Let's go then!"

[Frogs557]

Fox jumped, springing off a wall. "JUST DIE!!!!" He screamed, blasting sakura with laser fire. He landed, pulling out a grenade. "YA!!!!" He shouted, throwing it at sakura. It beeped a couple of times in the air before exploding right in front of her.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Fox jumped, springing off a wall. "JUST DIE!!!!" He screamed, blasting sakura with laser fire. He landed, pulling out a grenade. "YA!!!!" He shouted, throwing it at sakura. It beeped a couple of times in the air before exploding right in front of her.

A fine powder enveloped the ramshackle foyer. “I’m not goin’ down that easy!” Sakura suspended along a shaft of wood that was one of few that were securely fixed to the ceiling. She freed herself from her solid grip, diving into Fox’s sense of space. Sakura lunged back her scorching longsword. Were her combat skills too conventional? Fox already looked accustom to her movement.

[Frogs557]

Fox flipped into the air, avoiding the sword easily. "You know the annoying thing about you, sakura?" He said, grabbing her under the arms in mid air. "You just don't know when to quit." He flipped her into the air, throwing her against the wall.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn sighed, I can't help... "They're fighting and I can't get in the middle of it. I'll just get in the way..." He felt discouraged. He turned around, and walked over to a wall, leaning against it. "I'm worthless...."

((Gah...I can't keep up...))

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Fox flipped into the air, avoiding the sword easily. "You know the annoying thing about you, sakura?" He said, grabbing her under the arms in mid air. "You just don't know when to quit." He flipped her into the air, throwing her against the wall.

“Through card. Release and dispel!” Sakura’s embodiment became a ghostly presence, maintaining a lucid quintessence of herself. Through spirit hurled her past the wall, discarding her rivaled opponent in the slapdash corridor. Fox was screening the entire room, orbiting a three-hundred sixty degrees, and over again. Sakura had him in place, prepared for an assault. She emerged before Fox, ascending up from the ground and thrusting her sword onward.

[Frogs557]

Fox dove to the side, skidding on the ground. "DIE!!!" He screamed, firing his lasers at sakura. He put his hand behind him and sprung back to his feet, flipping backward and still firing.

[Roxas 1994]

MegaMan slowly walked down the hallways of the castle. He had gotten away from Fox, which was a good thing. He needed to get to the top of the two, so he didn’t need the distraction the fox was giving him. With a small grunt, Omega-Xis made the young boy pick up the pace. The alien felt a strange rumbling sound near them. It sounded like a battle.

“I think I hear something,” the alien said, almost knocking the blue bomber off his feet. “Pick up the pace, kid! We have to start battling!”

With a small sigh, the blue warrior had no choice but to follow his partner. The two warriors soon grew close to the battling, seeing two warriors in the battle field. One was the Fox character, while the other was one of his teammates.

“We need to help her,” MegaMan said out loud as he took the lead. “I think she’s on our team.”

With a small shrug, Omega-Xis followed his partner. As the two neared the battle field, MegaMan retrieved a Battle Card from his backpack. It was a good idea to have an attack ready just incase the other team surprised them. But at this moment, the blue bomber would just use his Megabuster.

The blue bomber took careful aim as he raised his Megabuster at the fox. With a good shot right in front of him, MegaMan fired a single laser from his Megabuster at Fox.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Stahn quickly moved in front of the shot, blocking it with his body. "I may be worthless...but I can still stop you from hurting the rest of my team..." The blast had hit him in the shoulderm and re-opened the wound from earlier when he was attacked by the beasts.

You four are professional. Know that, pals.


Next round arriving in some hours.

[Frogs557]

Fox jumped away from sakura, throwing his reflector into the air. "Gonna take more than that, megaman." He said, the reflector activating. "I heard you before you heard us." Megamans laser hit the reflector, bouncing off it and shooting through the air, straight toward megaman!
