Create A Boss

[Sdog]

With all these what should be or ideas for next saga threads floating around I wanted to contribute. But I got to thinking about bosses I've always wanted in Kingdom Hearts. And I thought, create a boss! So who's the character?How would their mechanics work? Any special rewards for defeating them?

There's a lot of characters I'd want to be boss fights in KH, too many in fact. But I'll stick to one for now...

Spoiler Show

Yunalesca from FFX

​

The amount of tension in her boss fight from FFX was vehement beyond belief for me, and when I finally defeated her it was a rewarding exhale of relief.

It would be a great 'phase' boss fight where she could alternate between her many forms once you get her down to a certain amount of health, and even introduce summons many have been wanting in KH for a long while now (we looking at you Bahamut). She could even cast that dreaded zombie status, that would probably have to be timed in order to work for KH combat, where if you try to heal instant K.O.

And the reward for beating her? Bahamut summon =p or Yojimbo

What boss fights would you like or perhaps secret boss and how you would unlock that fight?

 

[MegaCore5]

I know this will be a very unpopular opinion but here goes.

Spoiler Show

Genesis from FF7 Crisis Core

​

So first off I'd like to say that I understand that most people don't like Genesis because he was a boring character and whatever (I personally thought he was fantastic but anyways...) but I'd like to point out that his battle skills were way past cool! This is why I'd like to see him in KH3 with the role of a secret boss (or maybe be a seed in Olympus Colosseum if that were to return). He would main with his fire skills and aerial sword attacks, using Ignite to slowly knock off your heath as he continues to evade your attacks, waiting for the opportunity to strike when your guard is down.

Once he is beaten your reward would be "The Gift of the Goddess", a Keyblade with a similar colors to Minerva, the goddess Genesis hopes to be with. The key chain bears a Banora White Apple, the symbol of Genesis' childhood. Combo plus is this Keyblade's bonus effect. It has long reach and great magic stats but has less to offer in terms of strength.

 

[FudgemintGuardian]

Obligatory wanting of Gilgamesh.
I'd want him to just randomly show up in some worlds, looking for Excalibur, but each time finds an Excalipoor. Each encounter having an obligatory fight, with each getting slightly tougher than the last and each time you beat him you're "rewarded" with the Excalipoor he just found.
And then...the last fight with him reveals that all the Excalipoor are really Excalibur broken up. Then the Excalipoors merge and everything gets all magical and swirly, and...
It's a Keyblade. Who chooses Sora as it's wielder. No happy ending for Gilgamesh. I'm mean. But, hey, Excalibur Keyblade!

I know this will be a very unpopular opinion but here goes.

Genesis from FF7 Crisis Core

​

I wouldn't mind Genesis that much as long as; 1: he wears a version of his concept outfit.

Spoiler Show

And 2: he gets a badass Heartless version of Genesis Avatar

 

[Gram]

I had my own idea but after those two posts concerning Genesis I forgot it. xD
I didn't mind Genesis myself in Crisis Core so him being a boss, especially with Fudgemint's ideas, would be epic.

 

[kuraudoVII]

These are some pretty good ideas thus far. I've been thinking up of particular boss fights since I got the Final Fantasy X/X-2 and I am glad to see that I am not the only one that wants to fight Yunalesca.

Anyway, while there are several fights going through my head, there are two in particular that I would love to have:

Spoiler Show

Seymour Guado.

One of the more interesting ideas that I have involves the inclusion of Atlantis as a world for Sora and company to go to. While there, the events of the original plot intertwine with the villains of that movie teaming up with Organization XIII to take over Atlantis and achieve their goals. However, Seymour will act as a monkey wrench essentially doing things for and against all sides to further his own ends. His first fight will simply be a regular battle, but when you face off again, you will be thrust into a boss battle with "Fight With Seymour" playing as the BGM. Upon defeat, he will retreat to be fought over in other worlds while Rourke and Helga are consumed by the Darkness and Young Master Xehanort is busy squaring off against Riku.


The next boss is:

Spoiler Show

Terra Branford.

For this one, I wanted something a little different this time. Many people are assuming that Frozen will be in Kingdom Hearts III. If that is the case, I can see a rather interesting scenario that plays during the initial visit. Before Elsa departs, there will be people in her coronation ceremony. These people will include people like Mickey, Riku, Sora, Donald and Goofy, but they will also feature Terra under the influence of Kefka's slave crown. When she flees, she goes on to make her own palace, etc. When Riku and Mickey arrive on the scene, they see Terra and Elsa fighting. Terra is still being controlled and needs to be stopped, but Elsa is not listening to reason and is simply trying to take her out. As a result, we are thrust into a battle where both Riku and Mickey are forced to fight BOTH Elsa and Terra who are still trying to take each other out while ensuring that Mickey and Riku don't interfere. What is interesting for this battle is that you will gain access to one of two items during this battle depending on which one you defeat first. You will still get the other item near the end of the world; this battle just determines which item you get first.

 

[digimikej]

My Boss fight would definitely be The Beast. He is really freaking strong, so strong that A:he just appeared at hollow bastion even though his world was lost to darkness and he had no right to be there because "I have to find Belle" and B:Xaldin desperately wanted him as a Heartless/nobody, because of how strong Beast is. It would either be a basic cameo fight at the end of a tournament, Like Leon and Yuffie, or he could finally go postal because someone did something dumb at his castle. I dunno, I just REALLY want to fight Beast again, and this time, I want him to be in his right mind.

 

[Sdog]

Would love to have a a go at the beast again while Clogsworth isn't yammering at anyone. Imagine he he had an enrage phase where he goes, dare I say it, Beast mode... O yea...

 

[digimikej]

he is the only disney character, other than yen sid, maleficent and mickey, who is worth a damn power level wise. I would explain why i didnt add donald or goofy, but I lost my gif of riku-ansem pimp smacking donald in KH1.

 

[MATGSY]

OK, I'm gonna be here a while.

Spoiler Show

Spoiler Show

Abilities:
-Stomp
-Kick
-Whack with her wand thingy
-Backhand
-Hits a croquet ball (also enlarged of course) with her flamingo into the direction of the player.

-Does a very quick arm flex & then throws a punch
-Can jump pretty far when his AI needs him in a particular spot
-Can pick up heavy furniture & throw them
Weaknesses:
-Prone to stop fighting mid-fight to boast.
-if he gets too close to the edge, he'll stop fighting to get his balance back. He won't fall over like Hook in BBS, but it does give the player an opening to strike.

3. Queen Grimhilde, queen form
World: Snow White
Area: her lab
Music: Squirming Evil
Abilities:
-Stabs with a knife
-Uses a variety of potions, poisons, & chemicals that she's created in her lab. Including:
-A bottle she throws to the ground that explodes like a grenade
-A beaker she shakes, then a corrosive chemical sprays out from it in the direction of the player.
-A potion she pours over herself, becoming invisible for a few seconds (ok, I'm stealing from Banjo Tooie with this boss, sue me)
-tips over a table, spilling it's chemicals over a section of the floor, if the player steps in the spot, he'll suffer a random negative status like poison or blind.
Weaknesses:
-The room is is fairly small for a boss battle so she's rarely difficult to reach. Even when invisible there's not a lot of places to hide.

4. Queen Grimhilde, hag form
World: Snow White
Area: Top of the mountain
Music: Desire for All That is Lost (Which I guess is Snow White herself *shrug*)
Abilities:
-Claw attack with her nails
-Throws poisoned apples which obviously inflict poison on impact.
-Lightning bolts. OK, in context she doesn't control the lightning but it's there & for some reason it only ever strikes the player. Lets just blame that on the keyblade being a lightning rod in this case, shall we?
-Heavy winds can blow the player over the cliff (Grimhilde grabs on to a nearby tree trunk to save herself). This begins a QTE where the player must climb back up but avoid getting his/her fingers stomped on by Grimhilde, which causes the player to fall for instant game over.
Weaknesses:
-Claw & apple impacts do little damage. She's more dependent on poison & lightning doing the player in, which if the player has the proper elemental type protection equipped makes this a non-issue.

5. Flying Captain Hook
World: Neverland
Area: Hook's ship
Music: The Encounter
Years of kidnapping Tinkerbell & stuffing her into the same glass box repeatedly has left a fair amount of loose pixie dust lining the bottom. Hook uses this dust to give himself flight. The player is also airborne in this battle.
Abilities:
-Well flight for one
-Sword combo while hovering in place
-Aerial sword first charge at the player or Pan
-Flies out to sea, hoping to lure the party to follow. Then orders his crew to fire the cannons at them.
Weaknesses:
-The player can exploit his charge by floating in front of a mast & quickly moving out of the way, causing Hook to crash into said mast & getting stuck.
-The player can ignore Hook's ploy to lure him out to cannon range, though Pan will always fall for it.

6. Snake Jafar
Because why haven't we gotten this fight yet?
World: Agrabah
Area: Palace throne room
Music: The Deep End
Abilities:
-Cobra bite
-Tail slam
-Shoots balls of fire (he did it in the SNES game afterall)
-Quickly slivers around the room, staying out of reach when he wants to.
-can trap the player by surrounding him with his snake body. Will slowly close in & squeeze the player to death if the player doesn't deal enough hits to the head to make Jafar back off.
-When HP is down to the last bar, he snatches Jasmine with his mouth & slivers down a hallway. This begins a magic carpet chase sequence where the player must get close enough to deal the remaining hits necessary to finish the fight. Player must avoid the many low hanging ceiling lamps the hallway has.
Weaknesses:
-At times the rattling tail can be a spring to launch the player high enough to reach the head if the head is too high for normal reach.
-Jafar is unable to fight back in any way during the chase sequence.

Spoiler Show

The first half of Maleficent's last stand. This is also a how I envision Maleficent would hypothetically function as the final boss of a whole game. Rather than just using only her witch form or only her dragon form, Maleficent switches back & forth between the 2 & pulls out every trick she has in her bag in a drawn-out fight to the bitter end.

Setting: On a castle rooftop, possibly Disney Castle after she takes it over & remodels. Three towers stand at the edges of the area. Her patented thorny vines cover the towers, preventing flowmotion use.

Music: A medley of the Disney boss tracks throughout the series, a different one playing at each phase.

Phase 1A: Squirming Evil Maleficent stands at the center of the area, firing lightning & other basic spells. This most resembles her BBS Ven battle. When a fourth of her HP is gone she switches to the next phase.

Phase 1B: Rowdy Rumble Maleficent shields herself in a ring of green fire while her ED minions appear to attack the player. When the goons are wiped out, she transform into her dragon form.

Phase 1C: The Deep End The dragon hovers over 1 of the towers, bombarding fire balls from high up. The player must ascend the winding stairway inside the tower, fighting past more goons that are inside. On the top of the tower the dragon uses bite & tail attacks while always floating just off the edge. When it's HP is depleted it crashes into the tower, toppling it.

Phase 2A: Vim & Vigor Maleficent returns to the ground level in witch form. Now she uses her KH1 spells.

Phase 2B: Destiny's Force She fire shields herself again & summons heartless to fight for her.

Phase 2C: Fight For my Friends The 2nd tower phase, now the dragon is incorporating fire breath attacks.

Phase 3A: Desire For All That is Lost Maleficent combines her BBS & KH1 abilities, making a more unpredictable pattern. She also semi-shields herself with firewalls, forcing the player to run around them to find an opening.

Phase 3B: Rinzler Recompiled Calls forth both heartless & goons.

Phase 3C: The Encounter The last dragon tower phase, Maleficent now uses magic even in dragon form, casting lightning in addition for fire & bites.

Final phase: Night on Bare Mountain Down to the remaining quarter of her main lifebar, Maleficent pulls out 1 last card from her sleeve, Soul Eater. Yep, she gave 1 to Riku (I presume) & out of desperation used her magic to make another for herself. Since Maleficent isn't exactly known for great physical strength in witch form, she compensates with hit & run tactics, teleport spamming like crazy & frequently attempting to respawn behind the player for an ambush.

Desperation Move: Stabs the SE into the floor, causing many SE shaped energy projectiles to shoot up from it.

Weaknesses:
-Witch form suffers from the same methodical pacing as in BBS (until final phase).
-Dragon form isn't a very good shot when bombarding the ground level.

Spoiler Show

After the marathon that was the proceeding battle, Maleficent is seemingly down for the count, the Player's character & party move on to the next area for whatever macguffin they came for. Suddenly the ground rumbles. There's a bright flash of light & when the player's vision is clear again the player sees a gigantic mutant version of Maleficent before him/her.

In short, Maleficent's "final form" is a fusion of both her witch & dragon selves into one monstrous hybrid body. Her base figure is humanoid, but with dragon arms. Her face has glowing yellow eyes & barring large pointy teeth. She's covered head to toe in thorn vines. There are 4 wings on her back, 2 dragon & 2 of the raven wings from the live action movie (which is just about the extent of that's film's presence here). The tail of her dress has become shadowy tendrils. Her staff & Soul Eater have fused as well, becoming a halberd. & did I mention she's about 3-4 stories tall here?

Setting: an elevated circular platform, nighttime or general darkness themed environment.

Music: Brand new song that has a final boss tone to it.

Phase A: Hovers over the party.
Attack 1: Quick strikes with her shadow tendrils.
Attack 2: Shadow tendrils stick in the ground, pools of darkness starts appearing under party's feet, sapping HP. The tendrils can be individually destroyed during this part.

Phase B: Maleficent descends a bit over the edge of the platform, now fighting at torso level.
Attack 1: Halberd attack.
Attack 2: Shoots massive sized lightning from her left hand.
Attack 3: Summons thorn vines to cover the platform, moves to opposite side of platform to make it difficult for the player to reach her with touching the thorns. Thorn vines eventually disappear.
Attack 4: Traps party members inside spheres of darkness. their HP is gradually drained, replenishing hers in the progress. Game over is triggered if the player fails to free party members from the spheres in time.
Attack 5: Creates firewall on opposite side of platform, then strongly flaps her wings to blow the party towards it. Can be countered with dodge rolling.

Phase C: Wounded, she loses a bit of altitude. Now she is fought at head level.
Attack 1: Bite attack
Attack 2: Fire breath
Attack 3: Tongue lashing (I mentioned this form has a dragon tongue, right? No? Oh.) The tongue can reach surprisingly far.
Attack 4: Wraps tongue around player & pulls him towards her open mouth. then chomps down to deal a KO hit unless the player has Second Chance equipped.
Attack 5: Winking casts a stun spell on the party member/ player she's looking at.

Desperation Move 1: Summons a horde of Shadows & then starts eating them, absorbing their darkness to regain HP. If she recovers enough she can revert back to phase B, prolonging the battle. As such the player should be destroying as many shadows as possible to prevent that.
Desperation Move 2: When at 1HP left, she surrounds the platform in green fire. Anti-form heartless versions of the party then appear. Destroying the anti-forms dispels the firewall & leaves Maleficent vulnerable to the final blow that ends her reign once & for all.

Weaknesses: As if.

I'm spent, it's getting late for me. I'll cover new Disney bosses, Disney heroes, & misc. later.

 

[Sdog]

Love the enthusiasm and creativity Matgsy! And that Maleficent battle sounds beyond epic with the multiple scores for the phases.

 

[kuraudoVII]

Love the enthusiasm and creativity Matgsy! And that Maleficent battle sounds beyond epic with the multiple scores for the phases.

Agreed, the Maleficent battle would be an absolute dream to play.

Anyway, I thought that I might add a little more here. This time around, I am theorizing on several boss battles that I envision could occur during the early part of the game where you can control Kairi who is still playing catch-up with Sora and Riku. What's interesting here is that these people were featured prominently in Radiant Garden in Kingdom Hearts II and might have even known Kairi to some extent while she was still living in there and played a role within her life before she was abducted by Xehanort. While they are not related to her, they do act as proxies for these roles.

These guys will have recently arrived at the tower in order to mentor her and test her in battle. The characters also act as foils somewhat to Sora, Donald and Goofy.

The fights will also be held in the Mysterious Tower in an room that can morph itself into a new area based on memory similar to Castle Oblivion's rooms. They will also incorporate co-op if there is a second controller to control the other teammate. Otherwise if there is only one controller connected, it will be similar to how Riku is playable in the final battle against Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts II only you can switch between the two on the fly.

While I seriously doubt that the writers and the developers would take this route, I thought it'd be interesting to pretend, so...

Spoiler Show

Merlin the Wizard.

One of the most interesting characters in the series. Without a doubt, he is quite possibly one of the few significant characters, let alone fighters, from the Disney side of the crossover. With this battle, Kairi will team up with Donald Duck seeing as both he and Merlin are skilled in magic (and, if memory serves, Merlin had taught Donald magic in the first place).

While this is during the early part of the game, he will still be throwing strong magical spells at you and, as Kairi, you must be able to fight with Donald to counteract Merlin's attacks. This will be somewhat similar to the Phanton fight except that the game will instruct you on which spells to use. As Donald, you can cast magic spells and use the Limit Break "Fantasia."

Music used: An orchestral version of "That's What Makes the World Go Round."

Area used: Right outside of his house in Radiant Garden.

Relationship to Kairi: Perhaps as a kindly old man/grandfather figure who Kairi always went to when she wanted answers to questions that her grandmother could not answer. Referred to simply as Merlin.

Spoiler Show

Scrooge McDuck.

This is a fun boss. Scrooge will be utilizing his cane/Pogo stick/whatever in order to fight. If you guys have played the Ducktales games made by Capcom, then this should be easy to follow. That being said, Scrooge will be mostly on the defensive seeing as this is an early boss scaled to the players' current ability. To that end, Scrooge's foil that will be helping Kairi will be Goofy.

While the fight may be simple, it will still be fun as the keyblade's abilities to morph it into different things can play a role in the fight (i.e.: create a shield, become a rocket launcher a la Terra and etc.). As Goofy, you are able to use his abilities in from the numbered titles and use the absurdly broken Limit Break "Knocksmash."

Also, spoiler alert, but there will be a separate boss battle where Kairi will fight him as Darkwing Duck to see how far along she has come. I just haven't ironed out the scenario yet.

Music used: Either the original or an orchestral rendition of the Ducktales theme song.

Area used: The Gardens from Birth by Sleep.

Relationship to Kairi: A cool uncle who always gives her free ice cream and is eager to what about what she did that day. Referred to as Uncle Scrooge.

Spoiler Show

Cloud Strife.

Arguably my most cut and dry example here in regards to a boss battle. If you played the first Kingdom Hearts game and fought Cloud in the preliminaries at the Olympus Colosseum, then you have this boss fight figured out. To the surprise of absolutely no one, Cloud's foil for this battle is Sora. Cloud will naturally spam his Sonic Raves and his Limit Breaks from the original game "Climhazard, Meteorain etc.) as well as fly around by sprouting his one demonic looking wing (yeah, remember that?) which will look kinda weird in his Advent Children design, but whatever.

As Kairi, it is imperative to use the Guard ability (and, depending on the whole sword/shield/rod thing from the numbered titles, Counterattack) to block his attacks and then find an opening similar to his fights in the numbered titles. As Sora, you have access to some of your abilities from previous games while training in the Sleeping Worlds and can use a limit break that is a lower level form of Faith with Kairi.

Music used: The Black Mages' cover of "Those Who Fight Further."

Area used: Since this is meant to be hypothetical, I'll go with the ruins of the Radiant Garden equivalent of Nibelheim or something.

Relationship to Kairi: Perhaps as sort of older brother sort of figure. Referred to as Big Brother, Spikey and Cloud.

I'll probably have more coming up soon.

EDIT: Yes, I know that Scrooge isn't Darkwing Duck. That was an idiot moment on my part.

 

[MATGSY]

Also, spoiler alert, but there will be a separate boss battle where Kairi will fight him as Darkwing Duck to see how far along she has come. I just haven't ironed out the scenario yet.

Er, what? Darkwing isn't Scrooge, his real name is Drake Mallard. Interesting idea to give Kairi sparring opponents, though I think she should have at least 1 for realz battle.

Ever since BBS, I've had this idea for a Vanitas spin-off game. The base concept being a game from the villains' POV. Maleficent & Pete serve as his main party member, making the party a dark reflection of SDG. Game mechanics include minion summoning (unverse, goons, the weasels from Prince & the Pauper) & Boss Drive which turns the party member into his "boss form" (dual-wielding VS, Dragon, Captain Dark). Guest villains also use these mechanics as well. Vanitas himself would have a unique ability to switch between keyblade & Soul Eater on the fly. The former being more effective against heartless, the latter stronger on non-heartless enemies.

Never had the story completely thought out, there was the "disney arc" that was more or less finished in my head but the circumstances of Vanitas's return & his character arc hadn't really been figured out (though DDD helped with a few ideas). Anyway here are are the non-heartless boss I dreamed up for it (I've already expended my heartless concepts).

Spoiler Show

1. Peter Pan
World: Neverland
Location: Ruined remains of the Lost Boys' home.
Party: Hook
Minions: Pirates
Music: New Disney Heroes Boss track (henceforth, DHB for short)
With Maleficent having lost control of the heartless (see below), she has resorted to forming a new army with a reformed villain alliance as the leadership. After recruiting Vanitas for this purpose, she starts with reaching out to surviving former members Hook & Hades, who only agree to rejoin if the party can aid in their personal issues. In Hook's case, he wants them to finish off the Pan.

Abilities:
-Same moves as in BBS
-Uses a pan flute to fire off killer music notes a la Symphony Master
-Dive bomb attack
-Creates whirlwinds by flying in a circle
Desperation Move: Lands on grounds & teams up with his shadow for double-team attacks
Weaknesses:
-Shadow disappears in shaded areas of the battlefield
-Gravity spell pulls Pan to the ground

Defeated & homeless, Pan & the Lost Boys retreat from Neverland & hide out inside the clock tower (of course you're not going to actually kill the hero characters you fight!). Hook, happy to have Neverland completely under his control, agrees to aid Maleficent with his pirate crew when the time comes.

2. Hercules
World: Mount Olympus
Location: Thebes
Music: DHB

This scenario reenacts the third act of the movie, with VMP taking the place of the cyclops. After journeying to the prison of the titans & using Vanitas' keyblade to free them, Hades takes the titans to Olympus while sending VMP to deal with Herc.

Abilities:
-Due to the altered sequence of events from the film (IE Hades using Vanitas to spring the titans instead ahead of time instead of waiting for the right day), Herc has never made a deal to give up his powers for a day & thus the player has to deal with him in all his demi-god might.
-Will grab stone columns to swing around
Weaknesses:
-Maleficent can conjure replicas of the poison that sapped Herc of his godhood, these are how the player breaks Herc out of his invulnerable state. However these take time to make, Herc can interrupt the process, & Pete's forcefields are no good for protection (see:KH2), so the player must do what he can to draw Herc's attention.

Just when it seems like Herc is down for the count, SDG rushes in with cure spells. Yeah as it turns out they've been investigating the whole heartless acting strangely situation themselves & are a reoccurring presence in the game. After a stand-off, both parties start running towards Olympus after Pete stupidly lets out that's where the real battle is.

3. Zeus
Location: Olympus throne room
Party: Hades
Minions: Centaur warriors
Music: Vim & Vigor

While SDG & Herc are too busy fighting the titans, Hades tries to salvage the invasion by focusing his remaining forces (himself & VMP) on Big Z himself.
Abilities:
-Massive in size, Zeus can bitch-slap away the minions.
-Can throw lightning bolts, which don't just damages but stuns as well.
-The trademark godhood invulnerability is in effect. & it would take too long for Maleficent to make enough poison to affect the king of the gods.
Weaknesses:
-A reaction command lets Vanitas put his keyblade in the "ground", which then acts as a lightning rod that absorbs Zeus' bolts. Charged with Zeus' own power, the player can then break the invulnerability state.

4. Mulan
World: Land of Dragons
Location: Palace rooftop
Party: Shun Yu
Minions: Huns
Music: DHB

Seeking new allies, Maleficent decides that a great warlord is needed to lead her growing army in the coming battle. She revives Shun Yu for that purpose, who naturally only has conquest & revenge on his mind.

Abilities:
-Sword fighting
-Uses a silk scarf to tie up a party member, requiring a RC if it's the player.
-Mushu sits on her head & shoots fire.
-Mulan can combine the above 3 attacks to crowd control the whole party: she & Mushu each focusing on a party member while the 3rd is tied up.

5. Genie
World: Agrabah (shut up I like this world)
Location: Outside of front gates
Party: Jafar
Minions: Mamluks
Music: Desire for All That is Lost

While Maleficent is hesitate about reviving past allies after the mess with Oogie, Pete convinces her that a wish granting can have its uses. Then it turns out the revived Jafar isn't a genie anymore, sucks for them. Anyway Jafar hatches a scheme to lure Aladdin into a trap by having Vanitas masquerade as Sora. However Genie is too much of a cosplaying expert to fall for Vanitas' disguise.

Abilities:
-This battle is somewhat similar to the Timeless River Pete in that Genie keeps changing the location & his form with it.

Phase 1-Genie in his regular state. Shoots magic projectiles that resemble his cloud form when leaving the lamp.

Phase 2-Location changes to boxing ring. Genie is now impersonating Rocky & throwing punches.

Phase 3-Location changes to indian village, Genie becomes a totem pole made of his heads, each rotating in different directions & spewing fire.

Phase 4-Scenery changes to War World 2 battlefield & Genie is Patton in a tank. Both tank cannon & mounted machine gun are his weapons.

-Genie is impervious to magic in all forms.

6. Aladdin
Location: Palace rooftop (Seems to be a theme)
Party: Jafar
Music: DHB

Abilities:
-Sword skills
-Acrobatics
-Flies on Carpet
-Able to fire residual magic energy from Genie's lamp

Weaknesses:
-Vulnerable to lots of magic

7. Goliath
World: Castle Wyvern
Location: Is it another castle rooftop? Tell me it's not. Oh thank God it's a courtyard!
Party: Xanatos
Minions: Steel Clan
Music: DHB

Because why not a Gargoyles world? Vanitas recalls that Xanatos was a man whom MX had gone to for his research on ancient events. VMP reach out to Xanatos if he knows anything from those studies that could account for the heartless turning on their masters.

Abilities:
-Claw attack
-Tackle
-Grabbing Vanitas & Gliding him into a wall
-Grabbing a party member & throwing at another member
-Aero cast from his wings
Weaknesses:
-Vulnerable to Break spell

8. Leon & guards
World: Radiant Garden
Location: Radiant Garden SeeDs Command Center
Party: Kuja
Minions: Black Mages
Music: Black Powder

After the fiasco with MCP, Leon shut down the RG defense system & put together a new militia called the Radiant Garden SeeDs (honestly, its a wonder they haven't use that pun already) to replace it. This is actually the 2nd trip to RG, the 1st time ending in a heartless boss. Maleficent wants to get into Ansem's castle to see if she can learn anything about why she can no longer control heartless from Xehanort's research. On the 2nd visit a travelling weapons dealer named Kuja offers his unique brand of weaponry called Black Mages to help fight their way through the SeeDs.

Abilities:
-Largely the same as in past KH games.
-Protected by a squad of SeeDs.

Hurt but not down Leon gives a speech about how when he ran from RG years ago he had forsaken his name out of shame. But in rebuilding RG he was starting to consider going by his real name again. Standing upright, he proclaims he is Squall Leonhart & will never again allow his world to overun by darkness. A rather familiar sounding piece of music is playing during this whole speech...

9. Squall & Shiva
Music: The Extreme
Abilities:
-Squall has replaced his revolver gunblade with Lion Heart, which deals lots more damage.
-He also summoned Shiva to fight alongside him.
-Uses moves from Dissidia such as Fated Circle & Blasting Zone.
-Shiva uses ice spells, heal Squall, & encase him in an ice shell that only shatters when she is defeated.
Weaknesses:
-Shiva is of course weak to fire. Maleficent's dragon in particular would make short work of her.

However the arrival of SDG & other RG heroes still forces the party into retreat. Kuja stands behind to keep up the war of attrition with RG.

10. Horned King
World: Prydain
Location: Throne room
Party: Sora
Minions: Broomsticks
Music: Squirming Evil

The cause of the heartless' actions is eventually traced back to the Horned King, whose been using the power of the Black Cauldron to seize complete control over all heartless (just pretend that's a thing the Cauldron does, ok?). Vanitas & Sora forge an uneasy alliance to deal with a common foe. Thus the combined numbers of 2 parties fight their way through Prydain, encountering all of the heartless types from the previous worlds in 1 place. They even have to fight through multiple heartless bosses along the way, including one in the throne room that acts as Horned King's bodyguard right before facing HK himself.

Abilities:
-Wields a sword in battle. This is a minor callback to the book version of him.
-Can call his huntsmen & heartless for reinforcements.
-When half of his HP is gone, he'll start riding on a gwythiant, which has its own HP that must be depleted.

Nearly dead, Horned King draws power from the Black Cauldron to revive him.

11. Phantom Horned King
Music: The Encounter

This form of Horned King is a bit of an obscure reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIxZOLPFf6I&t=4m15s

Abilities:
-Spread-out fireballs
-Lightning that surrounds him
-Turns into a tornado that sweeps the room
-Brings down chunks of the ceiling. He can only do this a limited number of times. After he does this too much, a timer appears on the screen indicating how much time the player has left to finish the fight until the whole castle collapses.

The castle destroyed & HK dead, the status quo seems to be restored. However...

12. Cauldron Reborn Horned King
Location: Castle ruins
Music: The Deep End

Geez this guy doesn't know when to fold 'em. HK saved himself at the last moment by falling into the Black Cauldron. He now appears as an incorporeal skeleton engulfed in fire (the look is based on a freeze frame moment from the film).

Abilities:
-Many fire related moves, such as fireballs, fire pillars, or a flying fire serpent that seeks targets.
-Can not be hit by physical attacks, the party must use spells on him.
-Immune to fire magic obviously, but Blizzard magic is not a weakness.
-Simply being too close to him will damage a party member (being on fire & all that)
-In fact at the beginning of battle, the fire is so strong your spells won't even go through it.
Weaknesses:
-Light-based spells in Sora's arsenal are his weakness.
-The broom minions Sora can summon can put out HK's body flames with their buckets of water, though there's a high chance of them catching on fire themselves.

At long last Horned King is dead for good & the Black Cauldron is too far buried to be retrieved by anyone ever again. The disney villains regain their control over the heartless & darkness, leading to new upgrades in both minion summoning & boss drive for all party members. VMP & SDG agree to a truce out of respect for their temporary alliance....

Which VMP decides to break the moment SDG leave. They're jerks like that.

13. Disney Town Defense Boss Rush
World: Disney Town/Castle
Location: All over the place
Music: A Fight to the Death

Maleficent gathers all of the other villains & their forces into Hook's ship with which a full scale invasion upon King Mickey's homeworld is launched. Disneytown becomes a warzone with pirates, huns, & other minions waging war with musketeers, broomsticks, & mini gummi ship drones (a new invention of Chip & Dale). Each guest party member is deployed to a different areas of the world, giving the player a chance to utilize each of their newly unlocked boss drives as he moves through the world.

With everything going to shit, Mickey goes to a last resort plan & teleports in allies from other worlds to help. Hence boss rush, each area has both a different guest party member & boss to fight again.

Raceway-Xanatos vs. Goliath
Fruitball Court-Captain Hook vs. Peter Pan
Main Plaza-Hades vs. Hercules
Courtyard-Shun Yu vs. Mulan
Colonnade-Jafar vs. Aladdin
Audience Chamber-Kuja vs. Squall

The end goal is the Cornerstone of Light, which when destroyed will allow Maleficent's heartless to swarm the world. SDG, along with Minnie & others, are working to evacuate as many citizens from the world with the fleet of gummiships in the hanger. The King however takes a "captain goes down with the ship" stance & makes his last stand in the cornerstone chamber.

14. King Mickey (at this point, this game concept will never get never past Disney's approval)
Location: VMP are trapped in an illusion of them standing on a large open book slowly orbiting a whirlpool.
Music: Master, Tell me the Truth

Mickey appears in his sorcerer rope & hat. He hovers in the air, the Kingdom Key D & Starseeker flap behind him effectively acting as his "wings". Don't even ask how he can use both at the same time, I don't know & this is running on pure rule of cool.

Abilities:
-Shoots star shaped projectiles from his hands
-Flying tackle while engulfed in light
-A series of 3 light pillars that that quickly spring from random spots on the book
-Creates a sphere of light over his head that he throws to the center of the book, which makes a big explosion.
-Twin beams of light fired from his keyblade wings.
-Once a 3rd of his HP is gone, Mickey will sometimes change tactics by landing & dual-wielding keyblades. He can move extremely quickly & is basically like giving Yoda a 2nd lightsaber.
-Dual Strike Raid, which has the keyblades end to end for a double sized boomerang.
-At the final HP third point, Mickey stays in the air & creates illusions in the form of his musketeer & Julius-possessed selves. This illusions have a single bar of HP each.
Desperation Move: The starry sky isn't just a background, Mickey'll bring all of the stars down on the party. Reminiscent of Xenmas' final attack.

So anyway Mickey is finally beaten down & uses his star shard as an emergency escape. A shift in the series status quo begins: Disney Castle is now Maleficent's domain (& now you know the site of her final battle) while the world's refugees move into Traverse Town which reappears for them. At this point the Disney plot of the game ends & whatever's the original characters story takes over again, bringing the game to its ultimate conclusion. Since I don't really know what the heck that story is, let's just jump to the final boss.

Final Boss. Sora, Donald, & Goofy
World: TBD
Location: TBD
Music: Enter the Darkness

Well of course after a whole game of building up the Psycho Rangers dynamic of VMP being a dark version of the SDG party that it was inedvitable this clash would go down.

Abilities:
Phase 1
-SDG fight with the range of attacks & spells they are known for including glide & team-up moves.
-Donald & Goofy have limited HP through out the whole fight but can be revived by Sora.
Phase 2-Sora now uses flowmotion attacks
Phase 3-Sora starts using drive forms, eventually cycling through all 4

Final Phase
Music: The Key

A last 1-on-1 between Sora & Vanitas, or rather a 4-on-1. Sora is calling on the hearts of Roxas, Xion, & Ventus to help him in this fight. Thus Sora is decked out in Ven's armor sans helmet and dual-wielding Oblivion & Oathkeeper.
-Dual keyblade attacks
-Wingblade command style
-Hovers in air & shoots many light orbs a la Roxas
-Giant pillar of light a la Xion

After this I don't know, I don't have an ending.

 

[Shogo-Kun]

I would like to see a Heartless boss fight where it continues on the whole "What Measure Is A Non-Human?" aspect the games have been pushing lately. More specifically, something like a Heartless that still has some semblance of it's humanity left in it.

Picture this: Sora, Donald and Goofy stumble across a rouge Heartless that is begging to be killed. It immediately senses Sora's Keyblade and proceeds to attack the party. It mutters something, but you can't quite make it out. The fight begins and as the battle progresses, you have to string the broken message together as you fight through the various stages. Upon the final stage of the battle, you complete the message (which would be something like "Save Me") and you must choose what you want to do regarding the message. Before you deal the final blow, you are given two options: Purify or Reject. This is where things would get interesting as depending on your choice the story within the game deviates accordingly (taking elements from Visual Novels games, i.e.: The Walking Dead or Fate/Stay Night).

If you choose Purify, the Heartless in question becomes indebted to you and becomes a new summon. If you choose Reject, the Heartless disappears into nothingness and the Heart descends into darkness, something that will come back to haunt you later in the game.

Just a thought. Take it as you will.

 

[kuraudoVII]

Er, what? Darkwing isn't Scrooge, his real name is Drake Mallard. Interesting idea to give Kairi sparring opponents, though I think she should have at least 1 for realz battle.

Ever since BBS, I've had this idea for a Vanitas spin-off game. The base concept being a game from the villains' POV. Maleficent & Pete serve as his main party member, making the party a dark reflection of SDG. Game mechanics include minion summoning (unverse, goons, the weasels from Prince & the Pauper) & Boss Drive which turns the party member into his "boss form" (dual-wielding VS, Dragon, Captain Dark). Guest villains also use these mechanics as well. Vanitas himself would have a unique ability to switch between keyblade & Soul Eater on the fly. The former being more effective against heartless, the latter stronger on non-heartless enemies.

Never had the story completely thought out, there was the "disney arc" that was more or less finished in my head but the circumstances of Vanitas's return & his character arc hadn't really been figured out (though DDD helped with a few ideas). Anyway here are are the non-heartless boss I dreamed up for it (I've already expended my heartless concepts).

Spoiler Show

1. Peter Pan
World: Neverland
Location: Ruined remains of the Lost Boys' home.
Party: Hook
Minions: Pirates
Music: New Disney Heroes Boss track (henceforth, DHB for short)
With Maleficent having lost control of the heartless (see below), she has resorted to forming a new army with a reformed villain alliance as the leadership. After recruiting Vanitas for this purpose, she starts with reaching out to surviving former members Hook & Hades, who only agree to rejoin if the party can aid in their personal issues. In Hook's case, he wants them to finish off the Pan.

Abilities:
-Same moves as in BBS
-Uses a pan flute to fire off killer music notes a la Symphony Master
-Dive bomb attack
-Creates whirlwinds by flying in a circle
Desperation Move: Lands on grounds & teams up with his shadow for double-team attacks
Weaknesses:
-Shadow disappears in shaded areas of the battlefield
-Gravity spell pulls Pan to the ground

Defeated & homeless, Pan & the Lost Boys retreat from Neverland & hide out inside the clock tower (of course you're not going to actually kill the hero characters you fight!). Hook, happy to have Neverland completely under his control, agrees to aid Maleficent with his pirate crew when the time comes.

2. Hercules
World: Mount Olympus
Location: Thebes
Music: DHB

This scenario reenacts the third act of the movie, with VMP taking the place of the cyclops. After journeying to the prison of the titans & using Vanitas' keyblade to free them, Hades takes the titans to Olympus while sending VMP to deal with Herc.

Abilities:
-Due to the altered sequence of events from the film (IE Hades using Vanitas to spring the titans instead ahead of time instead of waiting for the right day), Herc has never made a deal to give up his powers for a day & thus the player has to deal with him in all his demi-god might.
-Will grab stone columns to swing around
Weaknesses:
-Maleficent can conjure replicas of the poison that sapped Herc of his godhood, these are how the player breaks Herc out of his invulnerable state. However these take time to make, Herc can interrupt the process, & Pete's forcefields are no good for protection (see:KH2), so the player must do what he can to draw Herc's attention.

Just when it seems like Herc is down for the count, SDG rushes in with cure spells. Yeah as it turns out they've been investigating the whole heartless acting strangely situation themselves & are a reoccurring presence in the game. After a stand-off, both parties start running towards Olympus after Pete stupidly lets out that's where the real battle is.

3. Zeus
Location: Olympus throne room
Party: Hades
Minions: Centaur warriors
Music: Vim & Vigor

While SDG & Herc are too busy fighting the titans, Hades tries to salvage the invasion by focusing his remaining forces (himself & VMP) on Big Z himself.
Abilities:
-Massive in size, Zeus can bitch-slap away the minions.
-Can throw lightning bolts, which don't just damages but stuns as well.
-The trademark godhood invulnerability is in effect. & it would take too long for Maleficent to make enough poison to affect the king of the gods.
Weaknesses:
-A reaction command lets Vanitas put his keyblade in the "ground", which then acts as a lightning rod that absorbs Zeus' bolts. Charged with Zeus' own power, the player can then break the invulnerability state.

4. Mulan
World: Land of Dragons
Location: Palace rooftop
Party: Shun Yu
Minions: Huns
Music: DHB

Seeking new allies, Maleficent decides that a great warlord is needed to lead her growing army in the coming battle. She revives Shun Yu for that purpose, who naturally only has conquest & revenge on his mind.

Abilities:
-Sword fighting
-Uses a silk scarf to tie up a party member, requiring a RC if it's the player.
-Mushu sits on her head & shoots fire.
-Mulan can combine the above 3 attacks to crowd control the whole party: she & Mushu each focusing on a party member while the 3rd is tied up.

5. Genie
World: Agrabah (shut up I like this world)
Location: Outside of front gates
Party: Jafar
Minions: Mamluks
Music: Desire for All That is Lost

While Maleficent is hesitate about reviving past allies after the mess with Oogie, Pete convinces her that a wish granting can have its uses. Then it turns out the revived Jafar isn't a genie anymore, sucks for them. Anyway Jafar hatches a scheme to lure Aladdin into a trap by having Vanitas masquerade as Sora. However Genie is too much of a cosplaying expert to fall for Vanitas' disguise.

Abilities:
-This battle is somewhat similar to the Timeless River Pete in that Genie keeps changing the location & his form with it.

Phase 1-Genie in his regular state. Shoots magic projectiles that resemble his cloud form when leaving the lamp.

Phase 2-Location changes to boxing ring. Genie is now impersonating Rocky & throwing punches.

Phase 3-Location changes to indian village, Genie becomes a totem pole made of his heads, each rotating in different directions & spewing fire.

Phase 4-Scenery changes to War World 2 battlefield & Genie is Patton in a tank. Both tank cannon & mounted machine gun are his weapons.

-Genie is impervious to magic in all forms.

6. Aladdin
Location: Palace rooftop (Seems to be a theme)
Party: Jafar
Music: DHB

Abilities:
-Sword skills
-Acrobatics
-Flies on Carpet
-Able to fire residual magic energy from Genie's lamp

Weaknesses:
-Vulnerable to lots of magic

7. Goliath
World: Castle Wyvern
Location: Is it another castle rooftop? Tell me it's not. Oh thank God it's a courtyard!
Party: Xanatos
Minions: Steel Clan
Music: DHB

Because why not a Gargoyles world? Vanitas recalls that Xanatos was a man whom MX had gone to for his research on ancient events. VMP reach out to Xanatos if he knows anything from those studies that could account for the heartless turning on their masters.

Abilities:
-Claw attack
-Tackle
-Grabbing Vanitas & Gliding him into a wall
-Grabbing a party member & throwing at another member
-Aero cast from his wings
Weaknesses:
-Vulnerable to Break spell

9. Squall & Shiva

-He also summoned Shiva to fight alongside him.
-Uses moves from Dissidia such as Fated Circle & Blasting Zone.
-Shiva uses ice spells, heal Squall, & encase him in an ice shell that only shatters when she is defeated.

-Brings down chunks of the ceiling. He can only do this a limited number of times. After he does this too much, a timer appears on the screen indicating how much time the player has left to finish the fight until the whole castle collapses.

The castle destroyed & HK dead, the status quo seems to be restored. However...

12. Cauldron Reborn Horned King
Location: Castle ruins

After this I don't know, I don't have an ending.

Woops, my bad. This is what happens when you haven't had much of a chance to watch the show in nearly twenty years and have been awake with only three hours of sleep prior. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the idea of Kairi having boss fights, she's been given the shaft for too long.

Anyways, I really liked the idea of the Vanitas spin-off game. The boss fights seem really awesome and I like the variety in all of them as well. You've got fights with The Horned King, Genie, Squall, Sora and co. and even Mickey in the mix while still coming up with some good explanations for why they are there.

I would like to see a Heartless boss fight where it continues on the whole "What Measure Is A Non-Human?" aspect the games have been pushing lately. More specifically, something like a Heartless that still has some semblance of it's humanity left in it.

Just a thought. Take it as you will.

I understand this aspect, but somehow I find it a bit too creepy and dark. Reminds me a bit of zombies (i absolutely hate zombies) and I think it's too dark, even though KH is heading towards a darker feeling.

I don't know, it would make me feel really bad and leave me KH traumatized.

 

[kuraudoVII]

So lately, I have been listening to the soundtrack for Dissidia Duodecim as well as the soundtrack for the first Dissidia game. While there are a couple of ideas that are coming to me, the one that sticks out the most are these fights involving the Dwarf Woodlands. So without further ado, allow me to tap into my inner Mario and say, "Let's a go!"

Spoiler Show

Garland - Round I

As many of you know, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the first animated movie in Disney's repertoire. If this world has to come at all, I want it to be the first Princess of Heart world that we get to visit (note that it doesn't mean that it has to be the first world we go to after the start of the game).

So what does any of this have to do with Garland? Well, Garland is the first boss in the first game in the Final Fantasy series. As a result, I deem it fitting that he not only appear in this world, but that he also happens to reprise his role as the first boss of this world. Anyway, what I am expecting is that Garland teams up with the Evil Queen Grimhilde so that he can use the Mirror to capture Princess Sarah. To that end, he is helping the Evil Queen in capturing Snow White for a chance to use the mirror.

Here, Garland initiates the fight. It's not particularly difficult, but he hits like a diddly truck and has some surprisingly good coverage in terms of attacks. At the very least, he will not hesitate to use his Blaze attack (if you played the Dissidia games, you may remember what that is). His weapon is long and can also be used as a whip to stop Sora and co. from attacking. Here is a clip of some of his moves in the Dissidia games.

After he is defeated, he will declare that he merely wished to test the might of a keyblade warrior and run off saying that he has his own errands to do. Goofy discovers that he dropped something. The item that you get from this is a Defense Up.

The Warrior of Light Mannequin

Since this is all hypothetical, I envision Sora and co. having to protect Snow White from a mannequin. This mannequin has been searching for her for an as yet unknown purpose, but it is relentless in its pursuit. Luckily in this case, Sora, Donald and Goofy are not alone for this battle. While the dwarfs are doing everything that they can to protect Snow White, the Warrior of Light himself decides to drop in after deducing that Garland was right nearby not too long before.

For this battle, the mannequin of the Warrior of Light operates just like the regular Warrior of Light does (yes, I am aware that the Warrior of Light himself is a perfect mannequin, but I worded it like this to make it a bit simpler to follow). Anyway, both he and the Warrior of Light fight exactly the same way and fight just like they did in the Dissidia games. Here is a clip of some of his moves for those that are curious.

Anyway, the battle ends, the others then discover via Young Master Xehanort that Queen Grimhilde merely used the mannequin's bloodlust to distract the others while she herself attempts to kidnap her. Unfortunately, not only did the battle end faster than she anticipated, but Snow White herself finally uses some of her princess powers to repel her instead, forcing the queen and Young Master Xehanort to escape. Sora, Donald and Goofy give chase, but not before the Warrior of Light inquires about the crystals. The trio, having no clue what the crystals even are, are simply perplexed leaving the Warrior of Light to apologize for bothering them and thanking them for helping him take down the mannequin. He then gives Sora some new armor.

The Evil Queen - Round I

A regular Disney boss! Huzzah! Queen Grimhilde uses one of her potions to gain the ability to fight somewhat on par with the likes of Jafar and Maleficent. As a result, I can see her using some a lot of magic spells that hit pretty hard for this stage of the game. Anyway, for this battle, Sora and co. team up with the Prince (yeah, he's actually going to do something other than kiss the girl for once). There will be reaction commands for this battle, but they operate more along the lines of how they did in Birth by Sleep where they weren't completely spammable and weren't necessary to defeat the boss. The first reaction command involves having Sora and Donald reflect certain spells of hers against her while the second one involves the Prince distracting the Queen from the front so that Sora can strike from behind. Meanwhile, the Queen herself will spend the battle firing spells and teleporting all over the place.

The Evil Queen and Garland - Round II

Turns out that what you fought was merely an copy created by the Magic Mirror who has come back under duress of the Evil Queen. Sora, Donald, Goofy and the Prince enter the main throne room only to stumble upon both the Queen and Garland there with the latter already duking it out with the Warrior of Light. Sora, Prince and co. get ready to fight Queen Grimhilde, but Garland intervenes blocking one of Donald's spells with his weapon. The two then decide to tag-team against the four and the Warrior of Light. Right before, the Evil Queen screams that Snow White's beauty will perish and that she would be "The fairest in the land!" while Garland proclaims his superiority over the heroes and then yells, "I, GARLAND, WILL KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN!"

As like before, the fights are very similar except now both of them are attacking you and both of them hit harder than they had before. This time around, you get to fight with FIVE party members: Sora, Donald, Goofy, the Prince and the Warrior of Light. The Prince still has his reaction command ready with Sora against the Evil Queen while the Warrior of Light has a reaction command with Sora where both use Rune Saber.

Anyway, both are defeated with the Evil Queen disappearing once again and Garland says a couple of things that seem to hint at the fact that he and the Warrior of Light have been fighting for ages. He then warps away leaving the heroes somewhat confused, but relieved that the fight is over.

However, Young Master Xehanort appears on last time and proclaims that trying to protect Snow White is meaningless since the true Organization XIII still need her for the formation of the X-blade. He then also reveals that he was the one that suggested to Garland and Queen Grimhilde that they should join team up if they wanted to get what they want. He states that while it was interesting, the team up proved to be a failure since the Evil Queen was too vain to realize that she was in a losing battle to walk away while she still could without getting herself too injured while Garland was considered too chaotic to follow through on the Organization's desires. Sora outright tells him to shut up and say that he has done nothing but taunt him since his appearance in the Sleeping Worlds. He merely smirks and leaves.

The party begins to take their leave. The Prince goes back to Snow White while the Warrior of Light goes off to do Warrior of Light things. Before he goes, he gives Sora a summon. It's the one we've all been wanting since the first game: Bahamut!

Also, remember where Young Master Xehanort said that Garland was too chaotic? Let's just say that it is a hint for a future entry in here...

Okay, so this thread hasn't had any activity in a while, so I'd figure I'd bump it up with some more boss battles to show off.

Over the past couple of days now, I've been thinking of the Olympus Colosseum and the potential that can still be tapped into the world. After all, we haven't even come into Thebes or Mount Olympus at all in any of the games thus far (that one area in Birth by Sleep does'nt count). This was coupled by an earlier thread pontificating on who Hades' next lackey could possibly be. What you'll see here below is the result:

Spoiler Show

I...don't really have a picture here. Imight draw one on paper and bring it on here someday, but for now, I've got nothing.

Random Heartless boss

Upon arriving near the Colosseum Gates, our intrepid heroes Sora, Donald and Goofy hear loud screams coming from the arena. Rushing there, they see Hercules trying to tackle a Heartless boss trying to attack. While Meg and Phil are busy evacuating everyone else out, Sora and co. decide to assist Hercules in "taking out the trash." The boss fairly strong with arms that can extend in a similar vein to Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z. Its magic repertoire includes darker versions of spells such as Thundara, Meteor and even Mine Square. The Heartless doesn't really have any feet, but can float around the arena. Imagine the Parasite Cage except it has the head of a Wyvern and the torso of a Darkside.

Hercules will come equipped with a new Limit Break where he and Sora tag team with him punching and kicking whilst Sora shoots arrows with his keyblade. It culminates in Hercules throwing Sora and having Sora perform a Zentetsuken with Hercules immediately following up with a Goblin Punch.

After the battle is over, Hades appears and taunts the heroes for taking so long in taking the Heartless out. He then questions whether or not Hercules and the others are worthy of being considered heroes. Hercules naturally retorts that they have already been deemed worthy because the gods have already created constellations of them in the sky and that, more importantly, they always do whatever they can to help those in need. Hades continues to be the snarky jerk that we all know and love and then just leaves.

Music used: Preferably a new Heartless boss battle track

Location: The Colosseum arena that we've all been to in nearly every single game

Zeus

Yes, you read that right! We're up against the Chief god of Mount Olympus himself! After Hades disappeared, Pegasus appears and looks distraught. Phil and Meg then reappear with Hermes who implores the party to go to Mount Olympus to talk to Zeus about an important matter. They arrive in Mount Olympus and have a quite chat with Zeus. Zeus claims that Hades was using his powers to force something into his command. When Hercules asks if that something was the Heartless they faced, he reveals that the Heartless wasn't controlled by Hades, but by someone else. He then turns to Sora and co. and says, "I've asked the three of you here for one particular reason. The person that controlled that Heartless was someone that concerns you deeply - a being that claimed to be part of what he called the true Organization XIII."

From here, Hercules then asks about what Hades' minion was and what it would do. To that, Zeus said that there was one more person that needed to be here before answering that question. "In the meantime," he jovially bellows, "what say I see for myself what you all can do!"

At this point, he decides to attack and the battle begins. Zeus, for this battle, will be fighting more as a Mighty Glacier: he's fairly slow, but his attacks hit like a truck. He OPENS the battle by hurling a giant thunderbolt at the party that they need to either dodge or guard against. While he may be slow on his feet, he does have the power to teleport, though he thankfully doesn't indulge in this too often. Like Hercules, he'll often use physical attacks, but will also have liberal use of giant thunderbolts and Thunder-based spells. On the hardest difficulty setting (Critical), he'll even have access to Thunder Surge.

Once his health is down to only one bar, he'll begin to charge up a Super Lightning Bolt and hurl it at the party. At this point, you'll be required to use the reaction command to block it and have Hercules hurl it right back. Zeus then swats it and the fighters end up in a tennis game of sorts against the boss (think of the fight against Agahnim from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past). Do this until about the third time when Zeus accidentally lets the last one hit him for victory.

Music used: an orchestral and boss theme oriented version of "I Can Go the Distance"

Location: Mount Olympus, baby!

As the battle draws to a close, Auron appears and Zeus then debriefs them on who Hades was using. Zeus reveals that it was an aeon. Auron's eyes sharpen upon hearing this as Zeus says that he somehow used his powers as the Lord of the Dead to summon Braska's Final Aeon. Since Auron was one of the few that knew both Braska and the person who became his Final Aeon, he felt that it was only fitting that Auron know this. Sora then asks who and what the Final Aeon is and what it was needed for, but no one is willing to answer. From there, for purposes of this boss section, we'll skip ahead to...

Xigbar

The entire city of Thebes is being attacked. While the Colosseum is being attacked by a giant known as the Rock Titan, the town is being overridden with Nobodies. Hercules rushes to the Colosseum while Sora, Donald, Goofy and Auron defend the city with this theme from Final Fantasy X playing as the overall BGM for this segment.

After the Nobodies are defeated, Xigbar appears to do his usual thing and goad our main trio. Sora angrily asks why Xigbar let the Heartless into the area into the first place to which Xigbar says that it was all to make Sora stronger for the fated clash. The fight is essentially the same thing that we've been doing since Kingdom Hearts II and Birth by Sleep. Auron, meanwhile, still has the same moveset from Kingdom Hearts II.

After the battle, Xigbar taunts some more and vanishes. Auron then comes to the conclusion that he needs to stop getting distracted and go to Hades immediately to clear up the issue involving Braska's Final Aeon. Sora and the others try to follow him, but they then remember that the Colosseum is under attack (again) and that they may be needed over there.

Rock Titan

Let's put that concept trailer to good use, why don't we! The gang immediately catch up to Hercules. He has practically beaten the Rock Titan, but a stray attack goes toward Meg and Phil. Hercules protects them well enough, but the attack leaves him worn out. Hermes appears and grants Sora and co. the ability to use the Thunder Mountain train to defeat it.

The Rock Titan is more beefed up in terms of attacks this time around. He can hurl a giant boulder than can split into multiple rocks that can bombard the party. He also has the ability to create pillars from the ground that can knock the train off the track. Finally, he has, of all things, access to the Titan summon and can use Titan to attack the group.

On the ride, Sora and co. have controls similar to the battle against Dragon Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts II. They are able to shoot projectiles from their weapons while also using the train to ram into the Rock Titan. They final hit involves ramming the train into the Rock Titan and using a Reaction Command to come together and and fire off a large Ragnarok.

When defeated, the Rock Titan crumbles into a million pieces and the group now have access to the Titan summon.

Pete

Hercules has to tend to the Colosseum while Auron decides to go directly to Hades to try to liberate the Final Aeon from his grasp. Sora, Donald and Goofy come along due to Auron's hints that the Final Aeon was once someone that Sora knew. Upon reaching Hades office/wherever the place was that Auron was summoned from in Kingdom Hearts II, they find it deserted with the exception of Pete. He then uses a dark portal to warp away, but the others follow him. At their destination, they decide to duke it out.

Pete's moves are roughly the same as they were in Kingdom Hearts II during the match against him in the last Paradox Cup. However, he now also has access to a magic boot that he can fit inside of and try to squash everyone for massive damage.

After the battle, Pete falls down on his face. Auron demands to know where Hades is, but Pete just laughs and says that he was here solely to buy Hades time so that they wouldn't try to free the Final Aeon while Hades didn't have him entirely in his control. Goofy then points out that if they went through all of this trouble for that, then there is still a chance to save Auron's friend. They immediately head back to the city.

Braska's Final Aeon

Upon returning to the city, they see that right on the outskirts, a giant monster has appeared. Auron scowls and realizes that he may be too late. Sora and co. look surprised and Sora notes that the Aeon is wearing a red headband and that it looks kind of familiar...

Hercules immediately appears and the tells them that they need to ensure that Braska's Final Aeon must not reach the city. All five warriors then duke it out against the Aeon.

Braska's Final Aeon is about as big as the Rock Titan, if not bigger. As a result, the battle alternates between fighting him on the ride and climbing on him a la Shadow of the Colossus. ALL of the Aeon's attacks aside from the Pagodas that he used in the battle against Tidus and co. over in Final Fantasy X are used here.

For the final hit, everyone leaps up into the sky as the Final Aeon decides to use one last Ultimate Jecht Shot and they all use a reaction command to fire off a large beam of light to pierce the Final Aeon before his last attack can be unleased.

Hades is infuriated that his servant has lost and decides to bail. Sora begins to slowly suspect just who that person was after seeing some of his moves being similar to shots that someone he once knew used when playing Blitzball...

Jecht

At this point, Auron and Sora find Jecht exhausted and back in human form. Still somewhat under the influence of Hades' dark powers, he attacks the two and they are forced to do battle. This fight is actually kind of anticlimatic after all of the previous battles, but it is here for a macabre sense of catharsis, something reflected in the fact that this is the ONE time where you fight Jecht in this game and "Otherworld" is NOT blaring in the background. All of the moves that he had in the Dissidia games are here and accounted for in this battle.

After the struggles, Sora pleads with Auron to try to remember who he once was: the blitzball hero he watched and the father of his friend Tidus. Auron accentuates this by claiming that Tidus is looking for him, something that surprises Sora since he wasn't aware of that. Jecht finally calms down and regains control of himself. However, he decides that he has a lot to think about and leaves the two alone to wander off on his own. Sora asks what they could do. Auron simply says that they have done all they could do at this point and that the rest is up to Jecht. The others arrive and they fill each other in on what has happened. In the end, they are all satisfied that they at least stopped Hades for now and that they need to focus on what lies ahead. For the Hercules group, it's preparing for teh Colosseum tournaments. For Sora and co., it involves continuing their quest against Xehanort.

NAME: Young Eraqus
TYPE: Post-Game Superboss
DIFFICULTY: ★★★★★
HEART POINTS: 16 bars (7 bars phase one, 9 phase two)
APPEARANCE: Phase one has him in his armor (Armor of the Master) and phase two something along the lines of these fan drawn art.

♥-❤-♥​

The purpose of this superboss is to introduce the player to what it would feel like to fight against a younger and much more agile version of Master Eraqus. What more precise than his younger self? It isn't a canon battle, but what he says should reach the players:

"There are those who understand nothing... But then there are those who know more than what they should... You are one of those that know more than what they should. *gets into battle stance* He (Xehanort) knew too much and defied the authority of the light. I must prevent others from following his ideals. Warriors! If you value your lives, and that of others, then you shall leave these sacred grounds (Land of Departure, more specifically, the same place we fought Eraqus back in Birth by Sleep)... If not, then raise your weapon and prepare to be sanctioned!"

Submitted for the approval of the KH Society: Wreck-It Ralph

Scenario:
After beating the game, return to Radiant Garden as Sora and Leon will inform you that a new file has mysteriously been downloaded onto Ansem's Computer; an old arcade game. While it seems harmless enough, you should still go in and investigate.

Once inside, the game Fix-It Felix Jr starts up, with Sora in place of Felix. Ralph from on top of the building immediately recognizes you don't belong there and accuses you of going Turbo (much to Sora's confusion). The battle starts

The battle consists of two alternating phases

Phase 1:
Sora must make his way up the side of the building from a side view as if playing the actual game (number of floors increases slightly with difficulty). instead of fixing walls and windows, you are dodging or knocking back debris fung downward by Ralph.
Occasionally Nicelanders will open a window and leave a pie that can heal you. If you are under the window when they open it, they will notice you're not Felix and throw the pie straight down.
While pies do minor damage if thrown, debris will do moderate damage and knock you down a level. If you manage to knock back debris, it will do chip damage to Ralph

Phase 2:
Once Sora reaches the top of the tower the real fight begins.
Ralph will throw slow but powerful punches in groups on 1, 2, 3, or 4. These cannot be blocked and must be dodged or interrupted during his initial wind up.

Occasionally Ralph will shout "I'm gonna wreck it!". This signals that he is about to do a forward charge or a downward smash. For the charge, Ralph pulls back for a punch like normal but when he punches, he slides forward 2-3 spaces. For the smash, Ralph raises both fists in the air and brings them down, creating a small shockwave. Both of these attacks do double a normal punch's damage, cause knockback, and cannot be interrupted or blocked directly (if you're not hit with the smash you can block its shockwave).

After significant damage has been done to Ralph, he will yell either "That's it!", "Enough!", or "Knock it off!". After which, he will jump high into the air and slam the roof (think Diet-Cola Mountain). This will create a very fast shock wave that does damage and affects the whole roof area. Sora can jump to avoid it, but if you don't or you get the timing wrong, Sora is sent back to the ground floor the repeat Phase 1. If you do avoid getting knocked off, the battle continues and Ralph tries again after another minute or so.
Note: even if damage from debris knock back depletes Ralphs HP, you can only finish the battle in Phase 2

Once Ralph has lost more than half his HP, he will occasionally start to throw tantrums, yelling wildly as he runs around the rooftop forcing you to dodge right or left. He will only run in straight lines but when he hits the ledge Ralph will turn in your direction. This attack lasts for ten seconds but does triple his regular damage and knocks you to the side, so you'll have to arial recover or risk getting hit again before you can get up.

Battle End:
Once Ralph's HP is depleted in Phase 2, perform a reaction command to knock him over the side of the rooftop and into the mud puddle beneath.
The hero medal appears above Sora's head (and become the keychain for a retro game themed keyblade).

Afterward, Sora jumps down and Felix arrives and explains to Sora and Ralph about the mixup. Ralph remarks that it was fun and that he's welcome back any time.
Sora can now rematch Ralph at any time after this by re-entering the datascape and selecting the location, "Niceland". You can also play the original Fix-It Felix Jr game as a minigame from the computer's Keyboard in the real world.
