SSFW II - Fifth Round - "Xehanort's Awesome Spaceship"

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

Welcome aboard my SpaceShip (http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs25/f/2008/135/9/4/SpaceShip_by_zsolti65.jpg)! Please don't touch anything. Anyway here's the deal. You "Heroes" start at the very bottom and have to work your way up through heartless and nobodies to get to the portal chamber at the very top where the flashing light is.

I have no say in what you do, but for however many times I see God Modeing you will have an unbreakable block of the heaviest metal placed on a body part. (And you will probably be eliminated) Good Luck and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!

Xehanort,

With Hate and tons of Spite

It's truly pathetic how you RPG'ers all have big heads. You won't stand a chance next round. Don't both God Modeing either because you can't God Mode against a God. Now can you all go get ready for the next round. I will tell you the people removed at this point.

Sora flew out of the portal with a great force. He flew out so fast, that he hit a wall on the way out. "Oh, my head", said sora as he was rubbing his head. "Where am I now?" Sora walked over to a window and looked out. He was back in outer space. "I must be on a ship", said sora. Sora walked around the room he transported in looking for a way out, but couldn't find anything. All of a sudden, he found a hidden door behind some curtains. "Maybe this'll take me to the top of the ship", said sora. Before sora went through the doo, he looked around for Riku. "Where did he go now?"

Something caught Sora's eye. It was a sign that said "Xehanort's Awesome Spaceship", and he knew exactly who that was. Memorys of past battles with Xemnas and Xehanort's heartless past through Sora's mind. Now it was the time that he met the real Xehanort for good. "But I can't do it without Riku", said sora. Suddenly, shadpws started to surround sora, and they popped out of the ground. "Heartles?!", said sora. He knew exactly what these were. He quickely drew his keyblade, and prepared to fight the shadow enemys. "FRE FIRE FIRE", screamed sora. The heartless burned to a crisp and they dissapeared. Their hearts floated above Sora's head and dissapeared as well. "If there's heartless, there's bound to be nobodies. I need to find Riku, and get out of hear." siad sora.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo watched a flash of light absorb her and spit her on cold metal. She found herself in some weird cell and sniffed. Metallic surface, nothing elemental around here. She looked around. Damn I left the WotNot back in the forest. She sighed. Getting up she found the door opened. A cold rush of air flew through the room chilling her spine. She glanced over to see a wave of shadow creatures with glowing yellow eyes. At first they looked somewhat appeasing but a wave of coldness struck her and froze her where she stood. She tried to shake it off but found she couldn't move. Using all of her strength she breathed in heavily, nothing. She sighed again and breathed in the Chill. Suddenly she watched her skin turn to snow and the creatures lunged forward. She sent a wave of icicles forward creating a fence while she completed the transformation. She was 40 below and took off rolling her snowball down towards the strange creatures sending a wave of snow in all directions. She disappeared rolling into a strange room.

I'm not used to this kind of stage she sighed breathing in cold air. The creatures exploded from the room coming after her, she shrieked catapulting herself off the ground and through the hall.

[Xuan]

"Hey Sora, behind you!" Riku flashed towards the Heartless that was about to ambush Sora from behind and destroyed them with a single swipe. A warm smile sprang to his face.

Just like before, but without the Darkness, eh? Riku thought silently.

"I've got your back, Sora. Let's go! Find Xehanort and destroy him once and for all!" His eyes narrowed at the thought of Xehanort.

As if the Xemnas and Xehanort the Heartless aren't trouble enough.

But then again, it would be much better to fight him than stumbling out of that confounded portal again... This time the portal sent him flying out in the air, arms flailing and crashing painfully into the wall.

"But I do get to whip some Nobodies and Heartless. Finally." He began to find a way in this spaceship.

[UltimaxWeapon]

With a sigh of relief, Sora was happy that this time he didn't start a round all by himself. Especially this time he started with Riku. "Riku, I think we have the edge on this round. After all of the nobodies, and heartless we've faced, this should be a breeze", said sora. Sora showed Riku the way to the door that he found that would lead him and Riku out of the bottom room. Sora pushed aside the curtains and tried to open the door, "it's locked", sora said. "How are we gonna open it?" Sora than rememberd something. He held out his hand and his Keyblade appeared in his hands. "Step back, Riku", said sora.

Sora jumped back and pointed the keyblade at the lock on the door. A beam of energy shot out of the keyblade and went into the lock. A sudden sound that sound like door unlocking made the energy beam stop. Sora walked back to the door and opened. "There we go. But i'm gonna have to use this for more than just unlocking doors", said sora. Sora was so cautious this round that he didn't even put away his keyblade. He turned around to Riku and said, "Come on, Riku. Xehanort's waiting"

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

A metal block surounds Sora's right arm. God power belongs to Gods. You should know these aren't normal nobodies and heartless and God Modeing will get you know where. Have fun Blockarm!

[Xuan]

More Heartless and Nobodies began to pour in the room they've entered. A frown came as he boomeranged The Way To Dawn towards his enemies, decimating them in a wisp of Darkness. His heart grew suddenly worried.

"... These is so strange..." So far, they had only encountered Shadows and Dusks. Xehanort should know that they were more than capable to handle such weak enemies.

What exactly laid in front of them?

And then he stared at Sora. Horror struck him when Sora's arm were encaged by a metal block. Now he knew what are these enemies are all about.

"Dammit," Riku muttered angrily, "From now on, we better throw magic spells and Keyblades around instead of batting them around."

[UltimaxWeapon]

"What the hell is this?!", said sora as the metal block surrounded his arm. Sora looked around the block for a lock, but couldn't find one. The metal block was stuck on his arm, and wasn't coming off. Sora looked over to Riku, and then looked at the nobodies and heartless flooding into the room. "Fighting these things won't do us any good", said sora. Sora had to think fast, before the nobodies and heartless took sora's and riku's hearts. Then it hit him like he hit the wall when he first fell into the ship. "Riku, we can't fight them. We're just gonna have to run for it.", said sora.

[Xuan]

"Run?" Riku raised an eyebrow. Running is definitely not his style, but Sora has a point. That metal block on Sora's arm is troublesome and a heavy burden. Fight now, and soon Riku'll have to protect two person instead of handling his own.

This... is frustating. He thought, thoroughly annoyed.

"Okay, but before that -" Riku aimed at the Heartless as they squeezed through the narrow doorway and yelled, "Thunder!" A powerful bolt of lightning blasted and destroyed the first few Heartless that got themselves stuck trying to hunt them down.

And Riku ran.

[Yellow Flash]

(OOC: Hey I'm like here for 30mins....I'm still away and just got a computer.....so I'm going to post as much as I can,before I get back and can kick some butt.)
Naruto slowly streched as he woke up from coming out of the portal, he was really getting tired of these portals, but a least this one saved his life. As he looked around his area, it seemed he was on a ship of somekind, he went across to the side of ths ship and looked out a window, he seemed like he was in space.

Naruto then saw some stairs leeding up to the next level, as he headed towards the stairs he said to himself. 'I guess the portal or exit is at the top of this stupid ship, well I better get climbing' Naruto just got to the stairs as heaps of little black things started popping out of the woodwork. "Great, and I thought this was going to be easy!" Naruto said as he pulled out his trench knifes.

[Hades - Event Guest]

"What are these fools doing on Xeh's ship" grumbled Hadea walking across the huge room. Blue flames erupted into Red ones as he watched his heartless falling in front of the keyblade masters. "Ah a new girl" Hades smiled.

Hitting a button on the side of the terminal he found his way to the chamber with his victims. "Who wants a piece of this?" Fire dances across the ship towards his caught mice. Which one to kill first, he thought to himself looking over at the few he had trapped.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo watched as the flames crawled closer and closer to her. She jumped back swirling the fire into a ball just like Hades could have but instead of throwing it after him she shoved it into her chest and exploded in flames. The entire fire burned inside of her and she felt Ash come to live within her. He jumped from within her to being her. She let smoke come from his nostrils as she circled the peculiar man.

"What do you want here?" Said Kameo her voice becoming rather feint. She focused her energy to drain the firepower from what was left of the evil man standing in front of her, if she could absorb enough of it she might actually be able to break free and use the power to transform into thermite.

This man is no ordinary man, she thought eying him up and down. Something within him felt extremely evil and powerful. Could he be an elemental god of some sort she barred her teeth and walk slowly towards him.

[Xuan]

Riku squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out who this newcomer is. He looks a bit familiar, but he wasn't sure... Someone when he was under Maleficient's influence... Someone with that crazy burning hair. He snapped his fingers and smirked, "Right. That big talk Hades, Lord of The Dead who got himself beaten very badly by Sora. I remember you."

He looked sympathatically at Hades. I guess this is the part where we turn hero and defeat him again, huh? He laughed silently in his own head.

Looking at the other Player that was trapped along with him, the girl called Kameo. She however, Riku gave a nod of respect. It would seemed that she has survived this bizzare adventure as well, but there as more to come.

Defeating Hades would be their first priority. He whipped out his second Keyblade, Soul Eater and took his place. Eyeing Hades, he spoke to her, "Let's take him down. Together."

[Hades - Event Guest]

"Well little missie" laughed Hades flicking a ball of fire at her. "I'm Hades, God of the Underworld, destroyer of Jer-Cu-Les and those bubs the Keyblade bearers got something I want...Hearts." Using his power he filled the room with flames again.

"Ma'am step out of the way before I burn you to a crisp and feed you to Cerberus" Hades grinned evily.

[UltimaxWeapon]

Sora and Riku dashed across the hallways looking for a safe place, but then they saw something. It was a fairy thing that was surrounded by fire. Then they saw someone else, someone very familiar. "Hades", said sora. "What's the god of the underworld doing here?", asked sora. The flames started to come near Sora and Riku, and before they could reach them, theyquickly made a run for it. "We need to find a safe spot, where we can hide.", said sora. Every step Sora took got harder and harder for him as the wieght from the metal block pulled him down. He figured, if he couldn't use his right hand, then he could use the block for a weapon instead. The flames got closer and closer to Riku and Sora, so then Sora got another idea.

"Riku, hop on my back. We're going for a ride.", sora turned himself into Final Form, and he started to glide. Before the firey inferno could reach them, they hit a sharp corner, evading the fire.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo heard the silver haired boy speak. She retreated back over to him and thought about it for a second. "If I help you..you have to promise to let me go from this room without another fight" she asked honestly, all the fighting had cause her power to start draining her lifeforce and she couldn't take much more of this.

"I can handle his flames" she said looking back and absorbing the small burst of fire that came towards her. "But he looks pretty strong and he has some evil weirdness about him, watch that one." She caught another fireball and crushed it to nothing in her hands. She looked back to see the burnt marks forming where she had taken the hit.

"This isn't ordinary fire either" she pointed out, "it seems to drain whatever lifeforce it touches. Boy did I pick a good time to play Ms. Nicegirl."

[Xuan]

Riku had no idea why he hopped onto Sora's back, depending on him to fly him around while he could just use LD Form, but it happened so quickly he hasn't have a choice. He realised it just a second too late. He muttered irritatingly, "This is the absolute first - and last - time I'm getting on your back. This is absolutely embarassing."

He then turned to Kameo and said solemnly, "We have an arch-enemy to defeat. Fighting you? Not now, not here."

[Hades - Event Guest]

Kameo heard the silver haired boy speak. She retreated back over to him and thought about it for a second. "If I help you..you have to promise to let me go from this room without another fight" she asked honestly, all the fighting had cause her power to start draining her lifeforce and she couldn't take much more of this.

"I can handle his flames" she said looking back and absorbing the small burst of fire that came towards her. "But he looks pretty strong and he has some evil weirdness about him, watch that one." She caught another fireball and crushed it to nothing in her hands. She looked back to see the burnt marks forming where she had taken the hit.

"This isn't ordinary fire either" she pointed out, "it seems to drain whatever lifeforce it touches. Boy did I pick a good time to play Ms. Nicegirl."
Hades sighed and appeared behind the girl thrusting a redhot fire down her back. Grinning cleverly he watched it grow bigger and bigger. One hit from that and this little miss was going to be out cold.


Hades watched the keyblade bearers run from the room. "You guys are next." He clapped his hands together and laughed. "More fun for me anyway."

[UltimaxWeapon]

Sora looked up at Riku like he was kidding. "Do you wanna be embarrased or do you wanna be burned to a crisp?" said sora. Turing another corning, Sora let down Riku, and turned back into normal form. "We're safe for now", said sora. "Now we need to figure a way to get to the top of this ship. Any suggestions?"

[Tidus Shuyin]

Samanosuke woke up. "Wha...?? Where am I? Ako!!!", he shouted. "I'm here..", said Ako. "Thank god you okay.", said Samanosuke. "After you said to teleport to safer place, I was... here.", said Ako. "Where we exactly are?", asked Samanosuke. "Some kind of airship.", said Ako. "Airship?", asked Samanosuke. "Yeah, so let's get going further.", said Ako. "Where's...?", started Samanosuke. "I didn't see him.", said Ako.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo screamed in pain as a dark fire scorched her back. "Damnit" she said returning to her fairy form. She pressed a healing hand to her back but she couldn't even reach where it had gotten the worst. The ice power was gone and now she couldn't even control the evil fire he was using against her.

She watched the fire rise into the air and fall after her, jumping barely out of it's reach she felt it lick her hnd and burn it badly. Where are those two going? She asked herself holding her hands together in pain.

This guy is no easy take down, she bit her lip, no element, no nothing, I'm screwed she told herslef looking around the room. Nothing to use as a weapon either. She created a small barrier using her lifeforce stream and hope to WotNot it would shield her from the horrible flames on the other end. She curled herself into a ball and waited as it consumed her.

[Xuan]

Riku took a look at the girl. Hades was going to hit her from behind! Without wasting a heartbeat, he charged at Hades before ditching a quick word with Sora, "I love to get myself burned."

He was moving at top speed, but he was too far away! Riku quickly aimed The Way To Dawn at Hades and yelled, "Blizzard!" A row of ice shards sailed towards Hades, ready to pierce his back.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades shrugged off the ice shot that hit him and disappeared into the fire. A wave of inferno barricaded him from his opponent and left him alone with the girl. Watching her struggle in the little flames that danced around her made his heart jump, he sighed if I had a heart he laughed.

He piled on the rows and rows of fire after the girl. "You should just take it like a woman and roll over."

[UltimaxWeapon]

"Riku!" screamed sora as he came to a quick halt. "Oh, here we go", said sora. Sora turned around and glided back to go help the girl, with one hand slicing heartless with the keyblade, and the other just dangling along. Riku had vanished into the flames, and Sora couldn't see him anywhere. Sora quickly flew higher, to see if he could get a better view from up top. Sora then saw the girl curled up ina ball, looking like she was ready to die. Sora then thought to himself, "Uhh, why do I always have to be the nice guy?" Sora glided down to go pick up the girl, while Riku was distracting Hades.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo absorbed what little fire she could from within the barrier and let the rest of it shield herself. She finally gather enough energy to transform into thermite. Using her thermal shield she absorbed the rest of the hit and looked forward, one-fourth the guys size. She let her jar slosh around in her hands and fire a huge blast forward.

"Don't underestimate me Sir" she said rolling forward firing off firecracker-like shells in each direction.

She knew this plan wouldn't work, but the thermal shield would give her more energy, maybe enough to transform into another creature. She smiled from within thermite. "You're going down bub...like men, Pigs all of them."

[Xuan]

Typical Sora, smiled Riku as he held The Way To Dawn to his shoulders and focused. Power fbegan to flow into his Keyblade. With a powerful leap, he came down on Hades with the force of a meteor and uttered, "LIGHT!"

A powerful vertical slash crashed down, aiming for Hades' head.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades bit his fingernails and sighed. "That all you got honeys?" He asked taking the blows without flinching. "You know who would love this performance? Now c'mon it's no fun if you don't guess. That's right Cerberus! Come on down big boy er- girl. Mutant Dog."

Unlocking the huge hatch to the giant room they were in a huge Dog with three heads slammed into the room from below snapping jaws in every direction. "Say hello to my not so little friend."

[Tidus Shuyin]

"What's that noise?", asked Ako. "A battle.", said Samanosuke. "What> But who is fighting like that??", she asked. "Something powerful.", said Samanosuke. "Let's check it out!", said Ako. "Okay, but stay in shadows!", said Samanosuke and together with Ako went to watch battle against Hades.

[Wzrdto25]

Thermite rolled out of the way of the massive snapping jaws and took a far range tactic firing off shell at the beast from every direction. The large explosions sounded from all over the huge beasts body. He was aiming for the head but he couldn't quite aim right under the pressure, a bite caught him right on the face and sent him flying back in pain.

Kameo sighed trying to pull herself together, she was bleeding and aimed a healing wave at herself again, but it didn't do her much good. She ripped her clothing and tried to close the cut, she became her fairy form again and held her cut on her shoulder.

"Try aiming for the heads guys" she called trying to heal herself again.

[Xuan]

Riku frowned. This was not the reaction he expected from Hades. It was strange, the previous Hades would've been crying all over the floor weeping like a baby after that hit.

Maybe a darker and far more sinister force is at work... Riku shuddered at his own thoughts.

She was okay, even after that hit.

It was time to get out. Things doesn't seemed to be on their side. A gigantic, three headed monster named Cerberus has just entered the picture. With a powerful dash, Riku leaped sky high and straight at the fiery walls Hades has casted. However, he was ready. Channeling his powers into the Keyblade, crystalline magic surrounded his body as he yelled, "Defend!" The Reflect spell protected him from any harm of the hellfire.

And he ran.

((Okay, I go and play my game, Hades, enjoy with the other toys of yours. I'm not RPing now.))

[UltimaxWeapon]

Before Sora could reach the girl, his drive guage had run out, and it sent him crashing to the ground. "Woah!" said sora as he hit the ground. He turned around and he heard some gruntng, "Riku, are you hungry or something?" he turned around and saw Cerberus. "Hi......doggy", said sora. Sora jumped back tryingot figure something to do. He couldn't transform back into any drive forms, and he was short an arm. "Looks like i'm gonna have to use some magic on this one", said sora. He jumped back casting a series of Thundr attacks. Lighting came from the skys, about to strike each one of the heads of Cerberus.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades laughed as hard as he could. "Girl is out. Who's bringing up the rest of the fight. Will it be Sora...or Riku." Toyed Hade grinning broadly. He red fire once again became blue all around him.

"I burn myself up."

[Tidus Shuyin]

Samanosuke saw only Hades. "Maybe we should...?", said Samanosuke. "Are you nuts? He's gonna kill you!", said Ako. "Well, not quite. I can even blow up this place.", said Samanosuke. "Yeah, I know, but still... he IS powerful!", said Ako. "I'll think about it.", said Samanosuke. "But...", said Ako. "I said, I'll think of it!", said Samanosuke.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades sighed. "Is no one man enough to fight me? Guess not." He shrugged and then laughed watching his beast chomp on his enemies. "Go Cerb'."

[Tidus Shuyin]

"You know...", said Samanosuke. "Please, don't!", said Ako. "Too late, Ako.", said Samanosuke and jumped out from shadows. "Oh my god..", said Ako. "Hello. I don't know who you are or even from where are you coming, but all I know is, that you are enemy!", said Samanosuke to Hades and summoned Bishman sword.

[Hades - Event Guest]

"Big talk from such a little man" said Hades rising higher and higher off the ground until he was a giant. "You are seriously no match for me...or Cerberus." Hades let the grin explode on his face and laughed loudly. He tossed fireballs in all directions below.

[Tidus Shuyin]

"You are soooo... fired!", shouted Samanosuke and tried to dodge all fireballs. "I said!", said Ako. "Ako, it's not time! I have to do this!", said Samanosuke. He jumped and changed into Omimusha. While in the air, he charged upwards for a slash to Hades.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades shrugged the slash off and sent a massive wave of fire after his victim. He swatted the little man like he was a fly.

"Shoo' fly don't bother me." The wave of fire circle around him hot as a a Volcano.

[Tidus Shuyin]

"Sama...", started Ako. Samanosuke was little... annoyed. Now, everything in him was ready to get out full power. "You, pathetic monster! It's time for you to vanish!", said Samanosuke, or what's left of him, because Samanosuke summoned full Onimusha within him and no sight of Samanosuke was there. Now, only full-fledged Onimusha standed against Hades. "And that you call hot?", laughed Onimusha. The hot, which Hades made, didn't bother him at all. "What would you say, about Fire on fire?", said with sarcasm Onimusha. He summoned his own flame sword. Oh, but not ordinary. It was light flame. With it, he made a huge firewall and behind it charged towards Hades. "See how you like THIS!", he shouted and charged a huge light orb towards Hades. Onimusha understood, that one mistake, and every bit of ship can explode. He threw the light Orba and continued to charge towards Hades behind the firewall for powerfull slash.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades yawned and blew the wall of fire out with it.

"Seriously try hard bub" Hades grinned, the entire hit had maybe tickled him. Xehanort had built this ship to last. No way was he going to be taken out that easily.

[Tidus Shuyin]

"Oh please...", sighted Onimusha. He summoned another firewall and charged again. Now, with Bishman sword.

[Hades - Event Guest]

Hades yawned and blew away the fire again. "I warn you pathetic 'Zeroes' over and over again, you never learn." Said Hades spitting out a massive wave of his own.

"Try that on for size mister."

[Tidus Shuyin]

Onimusha saw, that there is no chance defeating this monster with his his small size. He had to get bigger. Then, he spotted Ako. "Oh no! Please, don't do that!", she shouted, as she saw look of Onimusha. "It's the only way, Tengu.", said Onimusha trough mind. "But... wait, what are you talking about?", asked back Ako trough mind. "Combining ourselves.", replied Onimusha. "That's crazy! And even... that's just a story!", Ako fought back with words. "Don't forget, it's a legend.", said Onimusha. "Yes, I know.", nodded Ako. "And besides, we have to do it. It's the only chance.", replied Onimusha trough mind. A tear dropped from Ako's eye. "Well, this is my chance to prove.", she said quietly and flew to Onimusha.

Ako stood in front of Onimusha. "Ready.", nodded Ako and wrapped them in light ball. Ako started to say spell words, in mean time, Onimusha relaxed every bit of his body. A ties showed up between Ako and Onimusha, which drew Ako inside of Onimusha. His eyes went red...

A huge light destroyed lightball and in front of Hades was standing Dragoon in Hades size.

[Hades - Event Guest]

"I hate to burst your bubble bub, but I gotta split" said Hades running for the door. "Xehanort is calling you know how these things go."

He was gone in the blink of an eye. "Until next time."

[Tidus Shuyin]

There was a flash of light, and now there were seen only two bodies - Samanosuke's and Ako's. "Pathetic coward...", muttered Samanosuke before blacking out. He knew now, that he was able to combine with Tengu... but for now, he got some rest.

[Yellow Flash]

Naruto charged towards the heartless with his his trench knife outstretched, he slashed across one of the heartless cutting his head in half. Naruto smiled until the heartless came back, undamaged at all. Naruto's smile fadded as he swung again with his trench knife, again damaging the heartless, and again it healed.

"Damn it!" Naruto yelled out-loud, "I can't damage these creatures, and I need to get to the top! Looks like I'll have to dodge these dudes and whoever shows up until I can get to the top floor!'

[videogame714]

Ratchet came out of the portal, and landed on his feet. "Where are we now?" He asked, looking around.
"Round 5 of the SSFW: Xehanort's Spaceship," Clank replied.
"Our objective?"
"Get to the top of the ship."
"Well, might as well get moving." Ratchet started looking for a staircase or elevator to get to the next level, when he saw black and white creatures come out of the ground. ''Clank, what are those?"
"The black ones are Heartless, and the white ones are Nobodies."
"Interesting," Ratchet said as he took out his gun, and took a shot at one of the Heartless. All it did was ignore it, and take the hit. Ratchet then started multi-fire on it. After about thirty seconds, the Heartless disappeared, with a heart going into the air. "Huh," Ratchet said, as he saw a staircase, and went up it.

[HappyHeartless]

Bastila collapsed on the cold metal floor of the space ship, breathing heavily and coughing up blood. Her head was spinning and of all the portal rides so far, this was easily the worst. She crawled up to the nearest wall, dragging herself along the cold metal floor, and rested her back towards it.

It feels like I've been trampled by a bantha herd...
She coughed up a last bit of blood, then started healing herself with the force, using her midi-chlorians to repair her internal damages. Slowly her bruises faded and her wounds disappeared.

Before long could breath normally, and her body was recovering to nearly full strength. Bastila looked around, and it didn't take long before she recognized the all to familiar scenery.
"A space ship!"
She said this out loud, due to her surprise. Finally she was somewhere she really could relate too. She was in a tiny room, and ahead of her was a door.
Might as well get going!

Behind the door was a corridor leading upwards, and step by step she explored this new mystery.

[4thkeybladeholder]

A crash sounded throughout a long, and fairly wide, hallway. As metal hit metal, Cecil Harvey rolled to a stop next to a dark wall. Shaking his head as he brought himself to opening his eyes, he examined the surroundings with blurry eyes, holding the back of his head where a bruise was forming from the land.

The first thing he thought was that he was on the Lunar Whale. The metal walls and the lights around him were fairly similiar. Although it couldn't have been. The Lunar Whale had a pure feel to it. This one had darkness in it at every corner. He gritted his teeth as memories flooded in of his friends... Rosa, Kain, everyone.

This wasn't the time for that, and he wasn't about to let his guard down. His armor was growing heavier and heavier every round. He would have to figure out what to do about that.

Limping, then walking, he headed down the long hallway, about to turn the corner, when a sound came from behind him.

Dark portals were opening up in mid-air, the floor, and the walls. Dark shadow's came, crawling and having seizures from what he thought. The small thing's heads were shaking, looking everywhere and at anything. For the most part though, their attention was on him.

They couldn't be friendly.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo shook off her wounds and got up. The room was quiet again. She crossed over to the door and let herself out. She quickly ran down the hall and found test tubes full of those weird glowing eyed shadow beings all over the room. She crossed over and examined them, flicking one so that it accidentally fell over. She watched as it grew and expanded until it was standing there in front of her, a giant creature lurking next to her, waiting to attack.

Using her quick thinking she jumped clear over it and came slamming down into the ground below, the test tube wiggled and collapsed to the ground crashing glass against the metal surface. She stared opened eyed and then ran for the next door as fast as her legs could manage.

Once in the next hall the creatures disappeared behind her, but she kept running at the same speed. She passed dozens of rooms until she found a stair case. She pulled herself up it using the railing and emerged onto a weird platform above. "Battling Platform A" she read crossing onto the position that was lit up before her.

"So I have to battle someone then..."

[videogame714]

Ratchet came out of the portal, and landed on his feet. "Where are we now?" He asked, looking around.
"Round 5 of the SSFW: Xehanort's Spaceship," Clank replied.
"Our objective?"
"Get to the top of the ship."
"Well, might as well get moving." Ratchet started looking for a staircase or elevator to get to the next level, when he saw black and white creatures come out of the ground. ''Clank, what are those?"
"The black ones are Heartless, and the white ones are Nobodies."
"Interesting," Ratchet said as he took out his gun, and took a shot at one of the Heartless. All it did was ignore it, and take the hit. Ratchet then started multi-fire on it. After about thirty seconds, the Heartless disappeared, with a heart going into the air. "Huh," Ratchet said, as he saw a staircase, and went up it.

When Ratchet made it to the top of the stairs, he saw an array of guns on the side, one of them being a plasma cannon. "Lucky, huh?" He said as he picked it up, and put it on his belt. He then started to look for somebody to fight. As he turned a corner, he saw a familar figure walking around. "Hey Bastila," He said, "Are you ready?"

[4thkeybladeholder]

It had tooken hardly any time to take out the small black things. They merely dissapeared under his feet, and he moved on. The dark walls were accompanied by window's, lights coming in from outside that made his eyes burn, and his skin tingle. It wasn't his kind of Light, that was for sure.

He knew this place was large, for it was obvious. So many stairs and doors were in the hallway, leading to new places and sometimes, they were dangerous.

When his legs started to hurt, and he was about to sit down for a break, his eyes caught on one more door. He read in big, white lettering, "Battling Platform A" above the door. Touching the door, it slid in on itself, admitting him onto a platform. It glowed with a eerie light, and as he stepped onto it, it glowed even brighter.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo smirked as her opponent entered the room. "I am Kameo: the Elemental Chosen One, who might you be?" He didn't look like much, but neither did a lot of the people in this so-called contest. He did have more power than she had at the moment. One cut from that blade and she could be killed or worse.

She shook it out of her brain and look around the room. I need something elemental and fast she told herself glancing up at what looked like pipes. Water perhaps? Without the WotNot she was useless.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Cecil's attention flicked over to a young woman, and he remained silent as she introduced herself. When she was done, he took a small breath. "I am Cecil, Holy Paladin Of Light, King of Baron," he spoke loud enough for her to hear, and with authority. It was simply what he did in introductions.

He realized that this would be his opponent. Sighing lightly, he lifted up his sword, letting it gleam with the Holy Light. He took a few steps forward, but stopped. "Do you wish to attack first, or will I," Cecil asked, putting a Knights Honor before anything else.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo looked over before laughing rudely. "Holy King?" She asked, using her wings she flew to the top of the room and kicked the pipe, water flooded onto the platform and she let it swirl around her. "Go ahead and make the first move." He began weaving the water into a Flex body and let the cool water become the fighter she knew it could be.

Using her elemental abilities she could beat this guy, even if she had only one element. She looked over at him. In the time it would take him to make his "first move" she would be able to transform. She just hoped it would be enough.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Cecil nodded, and lifted his sword up to point at her. As if sizing his opponent, he closed one eye, and once he opened it back up, his arm flexed back behind him. Quick as he could, a blade of light flew out at Kameo, and the Paladin dashed up behind it, intent to make damage the first time.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo heard the Blade before she felt it. Quickly she let herself become Flex, the water pulsating in her veins. Flex's arm fell to the floor cut off.

"I'm gonna get your for that" said Flex letting his arm reform from the water above. He slivered forward swiping his arms in each direction. Four long extended arms shot out slapping and punching as hard as they could at the man.

[4thkeybladeholder]

The sudden change caught Cecil by complete suprise, and the onslaught of punches came. By pure reflex, his Light trickled out to form miniature shields that reduced the damage, but it was to late to build anything completely together.

Finally, he managed to do something to pull out. Pushing forward with his light barrier, it stopped the punches long enough for him to jump away, and prepare himself for another attack. His light bunched up in his sword and hand to glow.

He looked over his opponent now. She, if she was still a she, had done something with the water. She had transformed. This... Shall be most interesting.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo gulped up the water from above and spit it forward, shooting a massive blast of water at his opponent at a quick speed. Flex form was doing an awesome job, even if he was cut by the sword the chances that he would reform were 75%.

Flex smiled. "How bout that Mr. King his Holiness."

[Chaser's Apprentice]

An unseen force wrenched Sakura’s thrashing body around, tugging her inward and outward until the portal sputtered and spit her down onto the firm, metallic floor. There was a harsh crash of impact that sounded with a full density. She stood on spot, and twirled around to inspect the metal room.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Cecil immediately put forth his held barrier, letting the light wash out in front of him. Making it solid, the water put pressure on it, making it begin to crack after only a few moments. Looking at his sides, he breathed in deeply.

As the water burst through, and Cecil was thrust backwards into the wall, rather hard, two blades of light flipped around the water, intent to cut through.

[Wzrdto25]

Flex grabbed onto the roof and stuck there, hoping to evade his opponents attacks the easy way. He accidentally hit more pipes in the process making the room fill with water quickly. Kameo thought quickly transforming into Deep Blue and splashed down into the quickly rising water.

"If I stay down here" she told herself "He won't be able to hit me through the water."

[4thkeybladeholder]

Cecil floated up with the water, cursing at this change in the battle-field. Soon enough, he found something to hang onto, and he pulled himself up, but the water continued to rise. It was already at his feet from the platform.

What could he do to stop it? The pipes were broken, and he couldn't fix them. He would drown.

Unless... Looking down into the rather clear water, he searched for it. Once he had found what he had been looking for, he searched for his opponent. On the other side. Down, deep.

He had one shot. Diving, he swam back towards the ground floor, towards the door that had led him in here.

[Wzrdto25]

Deep Blue felt a long sword punctured his chest. Using himself as an anchor he shot torpedoes head on at his opponent. He reached the surface and created a whirlpool, disappearing into it he swiped out trying to grab his opponent with his tentacles.

"You don't know who you're messing with" laughed Deep Blue, the sword still sticking out of his chest, it hurt, but not enough to make him stop fighting.Using his power he could destroy this puny human.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

A plentitude of brilliant stars and galactic waste coasted along a stratum of black. Sakura was in space yet again. This had been a nettling in her mind. However, she couldn’t be distracted by these nominal circumstances, and so carried on, stepping out the door that slammed shut behind her.

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

Clapping sounded from above, "Bravo, Bravo" said Master Xehanort walking into the room from an upper Balcony. "You two would make fine Heartless." With that he clapped his hands and out came a barrage of Heartless. Not only normal Heartless but Darkside Heartless and so many others. "Feel my rather and SUBMIT TO MY DARKNESS." Laughed Xehanort watching from above.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Deep Blue felt a long sword punctured his chest. Using himself as an anchor he shot torpedoes head on at his opponent. He reached the surface and created a whirlpool, disappearing into it he swiped out trying to grab his opponent with his tentacles.

"You don't know who you're messing with" laughed Deep Blue, the sword still sticking out of his chest, it hurt, but not enough to make him stop fighting.Using his power he could destroy this puny human.



Cecil continued, regardless of the force that pulled him into the whirlpool. Almost reaching the hatch that would save him from this, he felt tentacles grab at him. Being forced away from the door, he looked up above him, to see a very, very large handful of those black beings, and one single person standing above them all.

He knew this would be trouble. Perhaps... The one he was fighting... Could help. Tugging on his tentacles, for he knew that she/he had noticed as well, he pointed up repeatedly at Xehanort, hoping that his point would be understood.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo sighed. I have to take out this greater being I guess. She spun around in circles and hurled the man up at the balcony. "You shouldn't have a problem with these Shadows after you, I can distract them for now."

She transformed into Thermite using some of the remaining power from her fight with Hades. She fired at the Heartless below, creating a huge expanse of fire that blocked the little beings in front of her. She laughed and aimed for the bigger ones. If she could just keep them distracted while this opponent defeated the man on the balcony.

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

Xehanort saw through the clever antics and smiled down at the girl who was attempting to kill his heartless then up at the Man who had been hurled after him.

"You two couldn't be any more Cute" he laughed. "My lady, you can't kill the heartless, only a Keyblade wielder could manage to finish them off. But my am I in trouble now with Cecil Harvey on the loose." His laughed reverberated through the dark room.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Being thrown up in the air was an odd feeling, but it gave him a certain rush, and he liked it. His eyes were only on this new being, and he ignored his rather weak taunts. Feeling his sword pulse at his side, he whipped it out fast and hard, sending three seperate Light blades at the man.

As he still sped on, he realized that his other opponent had made a slight miscalculation in the throw. Speeding past, he had enough time to cover most of his before he landed hard on the roof. Falling back down, he landed on a platform, cursing and feeling his head as he looked at how he handled the Light blades.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo thought fast and transformed into major Ruin and grabbed Cecil, rolling into a ball, to where his stomach revealed the sword Cecil had stuck there.

"I'm gonna crash into the Balcony" she told him jumping into the air, still in ball form. She spun around repeatedly then came crashing into the balcony where the man stood. Kameo transformed into Flex and stood ready to fight.

"You're going to die Old man" she said smirking slightly.

[Xuan]

Riku awoke with a start. How long was I out? Feeling some aches and minor, needling pain on his body, he climbed on to his feet and shook his head a little.

He stretched his spine and gave a slight yawn. It was about time to push on and get towards the top. Sora was nowhere in sight, but he knew that he shouldn't waste anymore time waiting. With each passing second, their situation grew more dire.

"I'm sorry, Sora. You know me." The Way To Dawn winked to his hand as he surveyed the room he's in. It was small, pure white with only one exit in the end. It reminded him of Xemnas' castle. A chuckle rose to his throat. I guess be it Xemnas, Xehanort or Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, they all have dull taste, he laughed to himself.

As he approached the door, it automatically opened to reveal a huge platform. Huge cables and pipelines could be seen at the back.

A lift. A frown sprang to his usually handsome features. Who one earth would be crazy enough to build such a big lift in a spaceship? But he already knew the answer, and the bare truth sent shivers and goosebumps to his heart.

A fight. A fight against Heartless or Nobodies. Either one of them, it won't be good. Especially when he remebered what happened to Sora. Instead of fighting them off, Riku could only use magic, use the power of Darkness or flung his Keyblade around. Dark Aura or Dark Shield could only do so much.

It doesn't look good, even for Riku.

"But I like the challenge!" And with that announcement spoke outloud, he stepped through the door.

[4thkeybladeholder]

Cecil nodded, his sword now ready in his hand. They stood, ready to fight the man before them. His Light pulsed powerfully as he summoned up more Light into his sword and body. He breathed as it filled his veins. It was the only thing he liked about battle. The feeling of such Pure and Holy light.

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

Xehanort easily dodged the light blades and jumped out of the way lightly dodging the huge beast that crashed into the Balcony.

"Pathetic" he laughed. Using a dark power he summoned a dark ball into his hands and sent a huge wave of darkness around them. No longer were they on the spaceship, or even in the same realm.

"This is my true domain" said Xehanort firing the ball into the sky, a giant heart-shaped moon formed overhead.

"Care to join me?"

[4thkeybladeholder]

Such a place of darkness. Full, unholy darkness. It made him shiver with hate that only belonged in his heart to banish darkness from coming in. He breathed in deeply as he looked at his sword, still lit up with power. What were they going to do?

"What will we do, Kameo of the Elements?" Cecil asked quietly, unsure of their plan, if there was one.

[UltimaxWeapon]

Sora woke up slowly, and was confused on where he was. "Where am I, what happened to Riku?", said sora. Sora was in the same hallway that he was fighting Cerberus in, but he had vanished along with Riku, and that girl. Sora still had the metal block wrapped around his arm, and his arm was starting to get numb. Carrying it around started to become a challenge, but he still had a long way to go if he ever wanted to make it to the next round. Sora stood up and walked down the hallway. He turned the corner, and then he saw someone, it was Riku. He was stepping through a door. "Riku!" screamed sora. But it was no use, because Riku had stepped through the door.

He walked closer and closer and every step he took, more and more memorys of Xemnas and Xehanort's Heartless kept popping in his head. Voices started screaming through his mind, and Sora started to freak out. He knew that as long as he held that keyblade, the more the dark memorys would. Only a keyblade wielder could kill a heartless, but the last time he tried that, he wounded up with a metal block on his arm. He slowly stood back up, and inched to the door that Riku had stepped through. "I don't know where this takes me, but I need to find Riku, and Xehanort, and find my way out of here." Sora took a deep breath and walked through the door, to find his friend, and his new enemy.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo had an idea but she would have to concentrate hard on it. Using her elemental power she began to suck in the darkness around them. All the power he had put into sending them into a darker realm began to flow into her.

He bones cracked under pressure and she began to bleed out of every possible place she thought of. He entire body was being torn apart right in front of her. Dark spirits lurking around her began to feed off the energy.

She wasn't transforming, she was becoming something dark and horrible and it was killing her inside. She never knew such power could exist. Finally she felt all her body reform but this time we was appalled by what she had become and retreated back into the darkness to feed even more and become stronger.

When she finally emerged she was a horrible monster, the worst thing you could ever be in an elemental's book. She crawled forward, burning the darkness below her.

When she finally spoke it was an echoing voice that made even her own skin crawl "How's this?"

http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs8/i/2005/274/2/2/Monster_by_PureWhite.jpg

[4thkeybladeholder]

"Scary..." Cecil breathed, feeling the power of Darkness in this... Monster. He knew that it wasn't human, and if it was, he wouldn't be able to tell. This being felt like one of the other Heartless around him now. It was a shock that the change was so powerful.

"What now," he finally said, putting his sword up, in defense against the man that stood before them, and perhaps a bit of defending against what now was beside him.

[Wzrdto25]

Kameo jumped around the man and went lunging after the man in front of them with full force, her anger burning deep within her. Power exploded out of her and sent her speeding at him.

[Xehanort - Event Guest]

Xehanort sighed and sent a wave of darkness to block the hit of the girl. He then proceeded to glide down next to the gman and smile right next to him.

"I suggest you try harder or this game isn't going to be any fun" said Xehanort exagerating his features. He aimed a punch of darkness at him and smiled.

He faded into the background leaving his opponents on the floor in the spaceship. "That's only taste of my power kiddies." He disappeared into a dark portal behind him.

[VenFan]

The young MegaMan looked around the area. This place was so big... where had he been sent to now? It felt as if this place had been moving. It was too big to be a car or to be an airplane. There was only one logical place in which he had been sent to, but he wanted to make sure that his guess was correct. Looking around for the nearest window outside, Vent glanced to his right, then to his left, then behind him. A few feet away to his left was a tiny glass wall which was a window. Slowly approaching it, Vent gasped. His guess was correct. Outside was a simple vastness with many stars surrounding the outside. He and the other warriors who had made it this far had currently been on a spaceship. Their destination was unbeknownst to him. Maybe there was no destination. He slowly placed his hands in his two pockets, feeling the hard, cold textures of his BioMetal lying within them.

"So... Looks like we're in a spaceship now, huh?" Vent murmered to himself. "I swear, these locations just keep getting more and more interesting. This'll be fun." A slight smile suddenly began to form on Vent's face as he slowly took one hand out of his pocket. In his palm was a small blue BioMetal with a red gem on the top. It was his Model X. "Alright, Model X, we're in a spaceship, obviously," Vent said to his BioMetal. "Think you can give me some more info about this place, like who it belongs to and exactly how big it is?"

"Of course, Vent," Model X quickly replied. "Now reading description of current area." Suddenly, strange noises began to come from the BioMetal. Finally, a dingind sound was made, giving Vent the hint that Model X had completed reading the information of this ship. "It seems that this ship belongs to a man named Xehanort. Apparently, he's a very powerful... um... what is a Nobody?" Vent gave Model X a befuddled glare, then shrugged his shoulders.

[Xuan]

He walked towards the middle of the lift. The whole platform shooked and screeched a little, but it never fazed Riku as he started to move upwards. Lifted.

And came down the dreaded beings of nothingness called Nobodies. Unlike the ones Sora has met, these were stronger. Far more stronger. Berserkers, Samurai Nobodies and Sniper Nobodies. The frown quickly turned into a mask of worry. They keep raining down from above! There's no end to them! His instincts screeched along his thoughts as he manipulated the air around him with magic. A barrier of wind surrounded him, temporarily protecting him from all physical harm.

Things won't be the same with Sniper Nobodies. Their projectiles cannot be fully blocked by just wind.

Randomly counting the number of Nobodies, Riku estimated at least two hundred of Nobodies and still rising. He must reduce the Nobodies into a managable amount before they overwhelm him with sheer numbers. Riku gritted his teeth as he prepared his body for a series of powerful magic. It would be a strain for his body, but using his Form now would expose his strength to the enemies.

He would like to keep some of his strength a secret.

He first spun around and threw his Keyblades as Soul Eater joined the battle and cut through any Nobodies within ten metres of radius. Buying just enough time, his magic preperation was ready as both Keyblades returned to his hands.

Ten Berserkers leaped from all sides, holding their abnormally large baseballs, ready to squash him like a bug. Another twenty Samurai Nobodies stood, blades held upright and ready to strike.

The Sniper Nobodies were aiming. He has nowhere to run. Try to get away, and he would find himself pierced by a thousand projectiles.

Riku first blasted a tornado of flames towards the Berserkers, burning and destroying them and blinding them from Riku. Three were left and were charging towards him, oblivious to the fact that their face were burning. It was then Riku remembered that Nobodies are like Heartless, they sense the heart. Riku quickly leaped away to avoid the bone splintering crush that so narrowly missed him.

This is just the beginning and my plan was already falling apart! Riku fumed irritatedly.

The momentary distraction has proven near-fatal. In an instant, the Samurai Nobodies flashed towards Riku, their blades slicing across the air and sailing for a limb or two.

His lightning fast reflexes and thinking saved him from certain death. A circular, powerful waves over water surrounded his entire body as he spun around strongly. His air barrier barely deflected the fully charged slashes, but his water barrier stopped the slashes, and Riku smiled.

The magical water suddenly exploded with the force rivalling even waterfalls. All the samurai Nobodies were shredded by the sudden and trembling explosion, and not even the Berserkers could defend himself from destruction. As he twirled his Keyblades around, smirking, he suddenly remembered that... he totally forgotten about the Sniper Nobodies.

Hundreds of arrows pierced through his unprotected body. He immediately fell to his knees. Blood was gushing out like the fountain of death. It was a miracle that none of those arrows were lodged in his brain or heart.

They fired, they hit, score! Riku regarded himself with high humour as his reserve of Curagun magic circled him, healing his wounds completely. Thankfully he was clever enough to prepare such an emergency magic autocast, or else he would surely die here.

"You got me once," Grunted Riku as he climbed to his feet, "I'll pay you twice!" A globe of Darkness engulfed his figure. Someone would think that he has succumbed to Darkness, but it was but a mere illusion. Endless amounts of Dark Aura were instantly blasted at all directions. Nearly all Nobodies in the platform were vanquished once they made contact with Riku's Dark Aura.

But it was still raining, and raining heavily it did. Riku sighed as he evaluated the grim situation.

This isn't looking good, Riku thought with grimness etched to his face, Lightning cackling around his body for a full scale blast.

Nope, not good at all.

[Yellow Flash]

"Take this!!!!!" Naruto yelled throwing a paper bomb at the heartless, he knew it wouldn't kill them, but it held them back far enough, so he could climb the stairs to the next level. "Few!" Naruto said, but his relief was not longlived as more heartless and nobodies came out from the walls. "I knew it couldn't have been that easy!" Naruto said to himself as he quickly threw two smoke bombs to hide himself, and then ran up the wall across the room and up more stairs.

Every room was black and had heartless and nonodies it in (the stronger as you went up.) There was a least 4 stair cases in every room leading to different places. Naruto continued as he had for the last 2 rooms, thrwoing smoke and paper bombs to hide himself and then make a dash for the stairs. It had worked so far.

"How....many....floors are there?" Naruto asked himself as he hid behind a curtian he had found on the tenth floor. "There as got to be an easier way" suddenly he had it, rushing out from behind the curtain he threw his last 10 paper bombs in the middle of the room, creating a large space among the heartless and nobodies. He then created 500 clones, and had them form themselves up in the shape of a sturdy pyriamid.

"I hope this workes!" Naruto said to himself from the top of the pyriamid, as he charged up the raszagan. "Take this you stpuid ship!!!!!!" Nartuo yelled as his clones launched him at the roof of the room with his raszagan going. He ripped straight through the roof, and went through the next one, and the next one and the next one, until he had goten to the 15th floor.

"Well that worked better then expected!" he said to himself, as he got of the ground. But then his smile faded as he looked around and saw the Fire King and the Ice King. "Oh damn it!' Naruto said. (OOC:I didn't know the heartless names, but there the bosses from Adelian's world.)

[KH2_FinalSora]

Dart panted heavily, his blade leaning against the ground. Twenty... He used his other hand to quickly wipe the sweat off of his brow, and leaned his sword against his shoulder. Twenty of these stupid shadow creatures...and not a real opponent in sight.

He closed his eyes, trying to remember exactly what happened. He had appeared, surrounded by a strange metal. THe ground beneath him was rumbling, almost as if the metal around him were moving. Of course, Dart had never been on an airship nor spaceship before, so he had no clue what he was riding.

After he had searched around for awhile, he was ambushed, mostly by these small shadow-like creatures. Dart had elimiated a few of them with ease, but they seemed to learn, and ganged up on him. This caused a bit of problems, but Dart managed.

Meaning...Dart ran. Well...more of a tactical retreat, but it worked, no?

Dart had then taken a breather, trying to regain his breath, only to find that he was once again surrounded...this time by white creatures with odd symbols around them. The red-clad warrior hadn't been able to fight these, namely because he was still out of breath.

This, of course, meant another tactical retreat...

And this pretty much lead up to this moment in time. Dart skid in front of a group of Heartless, and hacked and slashed his way through them, ignoring his tiredness. But then again...


Dart leaned against the metal interior of the ship, and took a deep breath. Nowhere to go but up, I guess...I think I saw a stairwell somewhere back near those white...things...

Dart pushed himself away from the wall, and shrugged. Alright...on to the top then! He smirked, and walked forward, ready to face his next challenge.

[UltimaxWeapon]

Sora slowly walked out of the door, still in pain from his arm being dragged down by the metal block. It became almost impossible for Sora to walk, with the pain of his arm. Suddenly, Sora heard a pop, it was his shoulder. He fell the ground screaming in pain, because his shoulder had been dis-located. He didn't know what to do, and he had no where to go. Rain was pouring down upon him, and all he wanted to do was find Riku. "Heal", said sora using Curaga to regain his strength, and fix up his arm. Curaga didn't completely do the trick, though. Walking was still a challenge for Sora to do, and every step just worse and worse. It wouldn't be long until Sora's shoulder would pop again.

He remained on his guard for any possible heartless or nobody attacks, so he kept his keyblade in one hand, and was going to use the metal block as a club. He decided that it would be a good weapon, but how much power would Sora have to swing that giant block? His shoulder had already popped out of place, and it still hurt severely. Sora knew if he were to be attacked, his guard would be down. He had to find Riku as soon as possible, just so he can survive. "Didn't I tell myself before that I was gonna stop using others to defend me?" said sora. He figured that this would be an exception, due to the fact he was basically handicapped. Sora still had enough will power left in him to search for his friend, and make his way to the top of the ship.

[videogame714]

When Ratchet made it to the top of the stairs, he saw an array of guns on the side, one of them being a plasma cannon. "Lucky, huh?" He said as he picked it up, and put it on his belt. He then started to look for somebody to fight. As he turned a corner, he saw a familar figure walking around. "Hey Bastila," He said, "Are you ready?"

Apparently Bastila didn't hear him, so she kept walking around. "Might as well find a new opponent," He said, as he started looking around, eliminating some of the Heartless and Nobodies on the way.

[HappyHeartless]

Apparently Bastila didn't hear him, so she kept walking around. "Might as well find a new opponent," He said, as he started looking around, eliminating some of the Heartless and Nobodies on the way.

Damnit...
Bastila had heard him alright, and she had decided to try out a power she had learned from Master Vrook a long time ago.
Using the force she had left an imprint of herself behind while cloaking her real self with the force, she had then waited for Ratchet to attack, but something about her imprint not reacting to his taunt had made him loose interest.
This was the perfect time to test out the trap too... Oh well.
"I hear you!" She called out, appearing as if from nowhere, disabling her force cloaking.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Spammed metal and chrome assembled in a dazzling labyrinth. The walls echoed reflections of each other, and each contrasted in heights and lengths that puzzled Sakura’s eyes. An unbecoming optical illusion that enclosed her environment, and she knew she was not alone. A becalming tap beated along the metal floor.

[videogame714]

"What!" Ratchet exclaimed, turning around. "Oh, you did hear me... So um... let's fight!" He took out his gun, when he saw another person coming. "Is that... Sakura?" He asked, trying to look at the person.

[HappyHeartless]

The second Ratched reached for his gun, Bastila braced herself to deflect his shots with the force, lifting her right hand in front of her. Suddenly he started staring down the hall, then said something about Sakura.

"Sakura? I remember someone by that name... The little girl?"
She had forgotten all about the fight for now and was just as courious as Ratchet, trying to stare down the hall.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

Two silhouettes were cleanly spotted by Sakura’s eager eyes, however the reflection of the walls had deceived her sight, making her vulnerable to attack. Perhaps they haven’t seen her yet? That thought was shelved to a low priority as she overheard the words of one of the twosome.

“Is that Sakura?” on of them asked. Sakura plucked a card from her vast range, priming herself for combat. “I’m pretty sure it’s Sakura! The Fiery, release and dispel!” She let loose of one of her cards, scorching on touch. It propelled itself at breakneck speed, fuming fires and sparks.

[HappyHeartless]

That right, she was the one who fought with the cards...
Bastila immidiatly, in the blink of an eye, ran to the far end of the hallway creating distance between herself and her enemies. After all the bruising and healing earlier she felt that a decent fight would do her good.

[videogame714]

Seeing a flash of light coming down the hall, Ratchet quickly rolled to the side, and got back up next to the wall. Still using those cards I see, he said as he got his gun ready, his finger on the trigger.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

“The Move! Let’s go!” Sakura motioned her hands upward, and then sweeping them back down as if slamming a box shut. Her close-cropped hair lifted up, each like tiny exclamation points to the power of Move Spirit. Sakura shuffled across the linoleum with the hammering of her high-heels, shoes not suitable for combat. “Move!” The corridor’s walls rumbled with an unsettling grumble. With one last arm uppercut into the air, the walls crashed downward like a filing of dominos over Sakura’s opponent.

[HappyHeartless]

Walls were being ripped out of their place as Sakura attacked, and when her move reached the walls where Bastila stood they too fell, but they quickly rose back in place as Bastila held them with the force.

Suddenly she released them and with a burst of speed she eliminated all distance between her and Sakura in just a few seconds, and at the same time drew her lightsaber. She reached her target, and with a spinning motion she feinted an attack with the saber and instead sent a side kick towards the right side of Sakuras head.

“Don’t be so hasty!” Sakura spoke as if scolding a child. Bastilla’s movements write her mind out, and Sakura is there to read it. She applies the Move once more, casting herself away from her valiant adversary, and reemerging behind her baffled self. Sakura planted a seed of enlightenment in Bastilla’s head, whisking her wand out and swinging it onward.

[HappyHeartless]

Bastila quickly leaped back and reached to her head. She didn't know what the little girl had done, but she focused force to her Midi-Chlorians and quickly removed whatever intrusion had happened.
"I think you'll find a Jedi's mind hard to penetrate." she said calmly, before throwing her lightsaber towards Sakura, making it spin around in the corridor, leaving few places to hide.

Bastila quickly leaped back and reached to her head. She didn't know what the little girl had done, but she focused force to her Midi-Chlorians and quickly removed whatever intrusion had happened.
"I think you'll find a Jedi's mind hard to penetrate." she said calmly, before throwing her lightsaber towards Sakura, making it spin around in the corridor, leaving few places to hide.

An intense blare of light guttered its way over to Sakura. It crashed against her own baton, flinging it out of her hand. She stole a peek back over her shoulder, stroking at the air to reclaim balance, and running an idle eye over to Bastilla. This took time to register, and yet Sakura broke out for her wand, calling upon another card. “The Dash card, let’s go!” Sakura shifted her movements onward, tearing down the hall with haste, and snagging her wand back up. She flung her baton at the same breakneck speed down the hall back again.

[HappyHeartless]

She is quick too Bastila thought as she watched Sakura, and at the same time raised a force barrier to protect her. As he lightsaber quickly returned to her hand she decided to make things interesting. She knew they couldn't keep fighting in this hallway because it was too tight for the three of them, so she focused a powerful blast of force in her hands and sent it straight upward, blasting a hole in the roof of the hallway. She quickly leaped through it, and found herself in a large room with metal crates stacked along the walls and large red lights handing down from the ceiling.

Now it was up to the other two to follow.

[Chaser's Apprentice]

It hadn’t been a getaway; it had been another approach to mêlée. Sakura carried on, diving upward into the ceiling, wand at hand. “Don’t be trying to get away! The Fight, The Power, release and dispel!” Sakura retained a crimson burnish that underlined her stiff-faced expression. “Fight!” She rushed at Bastilla, fists rolled into balls turned down behind her. Fight spirit had equipped Sakura with nimble martial art skills, making itself clear as she came down with a fist.

Ratchet watched the two fight, taking note of their movements and attacks. And then Bastila made a hole in the ceiling. It seems like she wants more area, he thought as Clank assisted him in getting through it. Fortunately, the two were already fighting up there, perfect for Ratchet to shoot them. He quietly took aim behind one of the crates towards Sakura, and pulled the trigger, watching the bullets go zooming towards the girl.

Dart groaned, stumbling up the next flight of stairs. How big is this stupid place? He staggered slightly, reaching a small landing. Of course...there were more stairs up ahead.

This is a pain... He leaned against the wall heavily, panting. How much more of this do I have to take?

Of course, nothing was ever easy. Several of the shadow...thingy..creatures, whatever they were, formed around Dart, hissing at the pale light that streamed down from the ceiling.

Dart was ready, and on defense the second these shadows appeared. More of them... He leaned down, ready to strike out, waiting for one of them to move. Time to bring the pain...

The first one jumped on him, and he quickly slashed it out of the way, and laughed, "Too easy." The second one jumped him, and he quickly kicked out. But, unforseen, a third one ducked under him, slamming into his other leg.

Now, most humans can barely balance on one leg for so long. Kicks take a lot of force, and you have to drop your leg at one point to remain balanced. And, well...losing your other leg...that just plain sucks when you kick.

Dart fell back, his head banging against the wall he was close to. His vision blurred, and there was an odd explosion of light that blinded him. Then, things went black, and he nearly lost consciousness...

Almost.

Dart groaned, staggering up. He held his head with his free hand, trying to lean against his blade. He looked up, and his eyes widened, as more and more of the shadow-like creatures, the Heartless, formed in front of him.

Great...

[HappyHeartless]

Bastila was intently fighting Sakura with hand to hand combat when she heard a shot fired. She didn't bother to see who it was aimed for, she just leaped op on top of a pile of crates, and renewed her force barrier, making it more powerful.

[Tidus Shuyin]

Samanosuke woke up. "Good, my head hurts..", he muttered. "Oh, hey Samanosuke!", said Ako. She was weak too. "Damn, that thing took all the power. I need to recover a bit.", said Samanosuke and sat in normal position. "Yeah. I wonder how long we where asleep?", asked Ako. "Well, no clue.", said Samanosuke. "But still, I feel like worn out...", she said. "Yeah, that was powerful. I don't want to meet it again.", said Samanosuke. "I warned you, didn't I?", Ako replied angrily. She put a healing spell uppon Samanosuke and her. Now, they where regaining their strength.

[UltimaxWeapon]

Sora tried to walk more, but simply couldn't. There was no way he could go on with his arm in this much pain. It had already popped once, and is not far from doing it again. With that in mind, Sora took a rest. He had to rest his arm, and save his strength to find Riku and Xehanort. "My arm. Why Xehanort? Why?" said sora. Sora casted multiple spells of Curaga onto his arm, but nothing made it better. He was in ascruciating pain, and was completely defenseless.

It wasn't to long afterwards, that he heard song noises, familiar noises. It wasn't Riku, nor a heartless. This sounded like it had armor. "Maybe it's........ no, it can't be. Is that you, Terra?" asked sora. "Wait.. Terra? Who's Terra?" asked sora. "Why do I know that name?" Questions kept popping into his head, and short scenes of three soldiers in a desert. He saw a girl with blue hair. A kid around sora's age, that looked exactly like roxas. And then he saw a tall man, who Sora was convinced at this point was Terra. "What.......what was that?", said sora. "Why do I feel like I know those people?" The questions went on and on.

Sora's head all of a sudden started to hurt severely, "AH! My head!" screamed Sora in agony. Statements started popping in his mind, like "Memory of Xehanort", "The lost two", "Keyblade Wars", and "Birth By Sleep". Sora had passed out from the pain, and fell asleep.

[KH2_FinalSora]

Dart let his sword fall to the ground with a heavy thud, panting wildly. Sweat dripped off of his flush red face, and he coughed, trying to take deep, calming breaths. He had just taken the entire room of heartless out...but not without a price.

His entire left arm was shredded, bleeding out. Blood was pouring freely onto the ground, mixing with the strange shadow substance that was left from the wounds of the beasts he had slain. His armor was cracked, if not useless now, and, Dart was not sure on this, he was positive something was broken, a rib or three...

Yet, he hadn't dropped dead...well, not yet. That was a good thing...right? He was still alive...right?

Dart pondered that for a moment. Would death be bliss? There are worse things than death...trapped and helpless, tortured and used, but... He had Shana...and his friends...and everyone waiting for him.

It was worth it...he finally decided. I won't give up...

"I..." A few Heartless appeared in front of him, almost laughing at him. "Won't..." There was a shimmering light, and the Heartless were obliterated, and in their stead, the white creatures, the Nobodies, had appeared. "Give..." They formed together, creating three creatures, each with a powerful Greatsword of some kind...but they seemed to hover across the ground with ease. "Up!"

Dart roared, and lifted his blade high, charging forward. If I die right here...right now, I'm taking all of you with me!

[Xuan]

((Erm... What are you trying to do actually?))

Ten minutes. Riku has been fighting in the lift for ten minutes.

It was almost the longest ten minutes in his life. When the onslaught of Nobodies finally stopped, Riku nearly collapsed and fell off the moving platform. Multiple bruises could be found all over his body. His left tendon were severed and he could no longer stand straight. His collarbone were broken as well. Every movement resulted in sharp bones scratching against live tissue. The pain was excruciating. However, his broken collarbone was nothing compared to his right arm though. It was twisted in a akward angle, a bone protudding from his flesh and a burning hole in his palm.

And there was one more. A stab half an inch into his left chest. It so nearly pierced his heart, and if it did all would've been over.

The lift came to an abrupt stop. Riku did not know how far to the top he was now, but it couldn't be far.

Or, I was having a very terrible hallucination due to these... these... minor injuries... Riku thought with a hint of scarcasm. Blood loss now impaired his vision so severely that he might as well lose his eyes as well. They are useless. Riku had to listen hard while he groped along the edges of the platform, searching for the sound of an automatic door.

His magic was depleted before. He needed one more minute before he could use a Healing Spell.

He wasn't sure he had a minute.

What happened next was quite out of his grasp. One moment he was carefully groping for a door or something, the next moment he was falling, literally falling.

It's over, he thought with an edge of insanity as he cried out, "It's over!!!"

Plop. He landed on a flat, smooth floor. Ground. Land. Earth. Anything. He had found the door. He was so relieved that he nearly fainted right on the spot, and if he did he would've died. With one final burst of magic, he whispered, "Heal."

Light surrounded his body. For a second he thought he has saw heaven, and maybe several angels. They were beautiful, inviting and... peaceful.

However, they held no appeal to Riku. He already had the most beautiful and treasured thing in his life.

His friends.

Sora, Kairi, forgive me... I guess I'm into for a long sleep, but... I'll... return... promise...

He fell asleep... Not noticing a few blots of Darkness slowly moved towards him.

[KH2_FinalSora]

((who...me?))

Whether or not the rest of the spaceship felt it, the entire room, the landing that Dart was on, exploded.

Dart had quick-changed into his Red-Eye Dragoon Armor, and charged up the last of his strength...ever last powerful memory he had, every ounce of mana in his body and mind...and put it forth into one last attack.

"Explosion!" Dart jumped into the air, and slammed his blade into the ground, releasing the energy, letting it fly free.

Normally, Dart's armor would have protected him...but the power that it held to protect him was gone, placed into the sword for added strength. It was all he could do to hold on to his blade.

Which...slipped from his graps. The once-red clade warrior was thrown back, and slammed into the wall. He saw stars, and his vision blurred and blacked out.

He was dead.

Well...he felt dead. He even looked...kinda dead. His armor, once blood-red, was now jet black from the flames. Oddly enough, the flames actually melted the first layer of his armor, and re-melded it...making it slightly more protective than it was, but still nowhere near it's original protection.

But his eyes were closed. And he wasn't moving. Was he breathing? Anyone who may have been watching might not have seen the faint, quick breaths he was taking.

At this rate...he would die in a few hours.
