Ch. 6-5 Tumble-Stop: Tension Rising
Universal World: We still know where we are and we hope to still be here when the chapter is done
“Courage is fear that has said it’s prayers,” – Dorothy Bernard
A shadow came over Sora.
"Hey Sora!" Goku flew down from above, and landed right in front of him (he has no wings, but the fact still stood that yes, this man can fly).
Spike, being used to his world’s physic laws that at least stated ‘those without wings will fall like a rock’, was not all that weirded out; hell he just wondered what more wonders there was for him to see, however Jet choked on his burger.
"There's superman, the gentleman," said Faye through her sip.
"I went to go talk with the Scouts a little while ago about you and they said that you really need to come to the Lookout Tower, 'cause they have on the line, Euphoria!" said Goku happily.
"Who's that?" asked Sora innocently.
"Aw come on, everyone knows who she is!"
"You've just met another who doesn't," said Spike walking up.
"Oh right, yall are new, anywho, Euphoria is a really, really, really, nice Spirit, she’s been watching over us and, uh, everything. She wants to talk to you about your 'new journey'."
*Euphoria?*
You know her.
The triggered flash back showed the shimmering green girl on the platform–Little Sister from his dream! His guide!
"Well, let’s go then!" piped Sora – his Keyblade suddenly appeared in his hand–
"That's not a good sign if I remember right," Goku slowly mumbled.
Ed's eyes suddenly turned really wide, and everyone looked to where her attention was caught - an enormous torso bent itself up, rising over the skyline of Central Square, it seemed to be connected with the horizon itself–
"HOLY ****!,” screamed Jet.
"They've never sent us one like this before," said Goku as sirens blared for people to run for safety: the monster’s shadow covering a good chunk of Tumble-Stop as it unraveled. Its two gigantic arms braced the torso in the square, shaking the ground upon contact (knocking over Sora's tasty shake)–
"Stupid monster! That was Sora's shake!," yelled Ed leaping up with Pharaoh who had switched with Yugi.
The mortal barrier encompassed the square, setting the battle field. “Whelp, we don’t have a choice but to deal with ya now huh big guy?” Goku taunted cracking his knuckles.
“YOU MEAN YOU’RE GONNA FIGHT THAT?!” yelled Jet, “ARE YOU INSANE? WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!”
“Oh, can you walk through mortal barriers?” asked Goku calmly; the monster gearing up all the while–
“WHAT BARRIER?!”
“You see that pink sheen around–?”
Spike realized that this was not a wonder he’d want to see, "[Cheese and Rice] what the hell is that thing?!,” much less fight–
“You’ve never seen an Emotionless?,” asked Goku–
“NO–!“
*Emotionless?* Sora thought…This creature…was the heartless and nobody combined!–The cross between a Darkside, and Twilight Thorn– *The Monster from my second Dream!* “We meet again,” Sora growled.
Ein’s barking echoed off the barrier, but his courage waned, and he ran to Jet who picked him up–
The arms began to pulse into the ground: heartless raised themselves from around the black hand on the right, and nobodies appeared from around the white hand on the left–
"Alright, this time, I’m ready for you!" shouted Sora. The head roared in reply with two mouths, one on the top, and one on the bottom: they looked to be made from the jagged cut of a knife, and if it had an eye, it would probably be that closed center bulge–“Ed get back with Jet and Faye!," Sora ordered, and Ed went–
"C-Cover our backs from there!," yelled Spike–
"Don't worry!," Faye sputtered leaping cleanly over the counter of the bar with Jet, yanking Ed with her–
"Here they come!"
Everyone went into fighting stance as the heartless and nobodies charged–claws–teeth– weapons–barred– BAM!
Making use of his gun, Spike was the first to fire along with four head shots–bam–bam–bam–bam!–scattering to the left for shelter and sniping capabilities behind some crates–“Ack!”–BAM! A wolf-like heartless nearly tasted his arm!
Goku let loose a stream of light from his hand cutting through the tide like a laser–it ricocheted off the mortal barrier–and took out another slew of Emotionless: to which the two-mouthed monster quickly replaced–“Hey!” But Goku couldn’t concentrate on Big Ugly yet like he ultimately wanted to, there were far too many Emotionless to deal with, and they really seemed to like him–
The Millennium Puzzle glowed, the mark of Egypt appeared on Pharaoh’s forehead, and he immediately used Wind-Glare,* magic that blasted his on comers back, and Sora, defending from aerial assaults, leapt making a round-house slash taking out all airborne opponents around him–keene!–Something with a trident hooked Sora’s keyblade, and flung him into Pharaoh–“OW!” Sora looked up as the trident came down – skeene! He blocked, and was knocked back onto Pharaoh as the nobody, draped in cloth like a ghost with a crooked crown, stabbed down with all its might, threatening to crush Sora and Pharaoh both! *How can, you be, so strong?!* Sora gritted feeling his elbows wanting to snap–
<How can you be so weak?>
“Huh?!” *The nobody spoke?!*
“F-Fira*!” A miniature explosion pushed Sora up and he slashed the nobody back: Pharaoh staggered up with his hands singed from casting Fira* on the ground–and they burned in pain again as Sora was thrown back onto him from the trident nobody,
<Weaklings!> the trident nobody glided up to skewer them both–a terrible face of jagged holes appeared on it and howled!–SPLSHCK–but Sora moved quicker and jousted his blade through its middle, dissinigrating it,
*Geeze Louise–I gotta watch out for those guys!* Sora yelled within and rolled off of Pharaoh, who had a harder time getting up–
The blind idle two-mouthed monster swayed, mentally watching, as its tiny minions did their damage: it quickly became obscenely apparent the Emotionless had the upper hand, since the only ones with heavy combat experience dealing with any Emotionless were Goku and Sora!
A shadow came over Pharaoh–TOOM. A giant fleshy mallet crashed itself next to Sora–“PHARAOH–YUGI–NO!!”
Spike had to ditch his crates from an attack of Assassin nobodies and entered a dodge-run-fire-dodge-run-fire-WACK-“Damn you!”-fire routine which granted him little time to aim, but his chasers were never far behind–
SPLSHCK – the fleshy mallet of the heartless dissingrated from Fira* and Sora saw Pharaoh, arm outstretched from casting–looking pale and exhausted–*Tired?! You can’t be tired already!* “Hea–!”
But before Sora could finish his magic–he and Pharaoh were kicked violently apart by a mallet-less Knight Shade, the tall armored upgrade of the heartless: Soldier.
Taking cover behind some barrels, Spike saw the low attack on Sora and Pharaoh and aimed for the Knight Shade’s head from behind, but its head armor deflected every bullet Spike fired–perhaps it’s face might be uncovered–*Come one you damn monster turn around!* “Ack!”–
A Dark Ball from out of nowhere managed to take a nip at Spike’s side, he side kicked it away, but it bounced back from the mortal barrier, and knocked him flat on his back–BAM!
Faye had taken out the Dark Ball, and continued to snipe with Ed's frantic pointing: Jet wanted to focus his ammo on the giant monster mix like Goku since it was the source of this internal chaos, but the individual Emotionless were too much of a threat–and after six shots to the stomach of a Large Body, which finally got it’s attention, it homed in on Jet, and Faye, Ed, and Einl, their secret position in the bar lost (“****!!”). It charged, gliding above the ground–not a single shot from Jet or Faye penetrating it’s gut! Ed screamed and grabbed Ein– It was going to crash into them! BLOT. It dissingrated upon the bar from a blotch blast thanks to Goku’s quick reaction,
“You can’t kill those things from the front!” Goku yelled to Jet, who nodded, he now desperately defended Faye, Ed, and Ein with his ammo since their position was given away, ammo which oddly wasn’t running dry, but he wasn’t complaining!–Faye gathered herself, and sniped again, picking off Emotionless as Ed now huddled back with Ein.
Between trying to keep a watch on those who were inexperienced, and taking out the rest of the Emotionless themselves, Goku had his hands full. He blew a bear-like heartless off of Pharaoh, and stopped a train of Assassin nobodies picking on Spike, “CAW!” Several Night Hawks rushed him, and he blasted them all away, but in that time he took to defend himself, he lost sight of Spike and Pharaoh! Oh well, he couldn’t be in two places at once, inexperienced or not, in a team battle, you have to keep up your own end of staying alive, or you deserved to die for being a burden on the others; a cold rule of this system.
“You ******* monsters–die already!” Faye yelled after entering a clips worth of bullets into a group of Fat Bandits that insisted on trying to barbecue Spike as he dodged-rolled, a manuver that saved him, and put out the fire of his clothes as well. Emotionless weren’t like taking down humans who went down easily with a shot to the gut, much less the head, armor or not, as Spike, Jet, and Faye found out, and card game tactics (what poor Yugi just knew so well) were about as helpful as throwing the cards themselves–unless you were a Gambler nobody which succeeded in turning Pharaoh into a dice–pop! He changed right back, but it was now Yugi face to face with the Gambler–and the daggers it threw!
“Ahh!” – Instinct or dumb luck, there was no time to switch, Mirror* popped up and a reflection of the Gambler tossed its daggers back, canceling the attack, giving Pharaoh time to take over (and some more energy to fight),
“Good job Yugi!” – WACK – a Wyvern ended that praise.
Sora, caught up in his tide of enemies, dodged the charge of strange heartless shaped like a bull dozer, his blade touched metal on metal from behind, and something flung his blade up trying to dislodge it–he spun around and immediately began shuffling himself backwards fighting off a new heartless wearing a strange top-hat and over-coat with scissors for hands (a Scissor-Hands), and a Samurai-nobody simultaneously – the Scissor Hands being the deadlier with each jab going for Sora’s face:
He bumped backs with Goku–Sora rolled over Goku's back as Goku came up with a sweeping side kick knocking the swords away–he grabbed Sora's hand–"Dose doe!"–and swung Sora around, who steadied his blade, taking out all surrounding foes! Goku then seized this opportunity for an attack on the big guy and chucked Sora sideways to the giant Emotionless’ white hand–he slashed deep into it–and landed safely away on his feet, bumping a heartless and nobody into Pharaoh’s magic, that broke them like sand upon contact–tsssshhh.
The idle monster now had its excuse to take action.
SCREEEEEEIIIIIIIIII – MUMUMUUUUUOOOM! – BOOM. Sora blinked sparkles out of his eyes form a pretty explosion–his vision focusing into two Cursed Hammers charging for him, and appearing magically besides him–a Defender and Dark Ball tore for Pharaoh who was straining to push himself up after countering that pretty explosion with Fira*– obviously the two did not mix well – *Ouch, that was dumb*–
“Pharaoh?”
"Sora?" Sora leapt by Pharaoh, but Yugi quickly took over (Pharaoh was battered enough as it is, now it was his turn to protect his friend!) and used Mirror,* this time, in it’s more deadly form: the reflections of the foes killed themselves with thier own attacks, and the real ones did the same.
"I have something like that!," and Sora used Reflect* which bounced off an oncoming attack from a bunch of Dusks and Shadows, all of which got taken out by Spike and Faye's recovered sharp-shooting, "Aim for the big one guys if you can, that's our real target!" shouted Sora.
"It keeps pumping out new ones too fast!" Spike yelled back. The monster suddenly smashed its face in the ground, knocking everyone down, then yanked up its head hard, the ground merging with it–taken up like a wet cloth over the wound–
"Ah crap–!" Human, heartless, and nobody rolled down the now very slanted ground, (Jet, Ed, Faye, and Ein for the ride in the bar), but Sora regained his balance as he cast Stop* on the air around him, Yugi cast Mirror* on himself and Spike which knocked them both upright, but the ground was still slanting upwards, and all the falling heartless and nobodies twisted themselves upright towards the gang for an attack! Goku flew up from their charge and fired his special, “Ka-me-ha-me-HA*!”, a powerful beam attack on the back of the monster–
"Hyperbeam*!" A second beam attack joined Goku's from behind, both getting a direct hit on the back of the monster. The ground dropped like a settling blanket of earth back to normal: the head of the monster looking to be buried in the ground–level now–allowing everyone to easily dodge the Emotionless’ high attacks with lots of help from Jet and Faye's sniping.
Sora looked up as a long snake-like green dragon flew over the battle scene, and the Sailor Scouts, dressed in thier shimmering fighting attire, leapt down in front of Sora, Spike, and Pharaoh who faced the monster and new batch of heartless and nobodies,
*Hello,* thought Spike to the five beautiful behinds–
"In the name of the moon, we will pun–"
"Shut up and fight Serena!"
“FINE!”
The Sailor Scouts fired elegant and graceful attacks of the elements:
"Jupiter Thunder* crash!"–
"Mars Fire* Ignite!"–
"Mercury Bubbles* blast!"–
"Venus Crescent Beam*!"–
"Moon Tiara Magic*!"–
–clearing the field of heartless and nobodies for a few precious moments–
"We'll take care of the little ones–yall go after Two-Face!" yelled Sailor Jupiter (Lita). The monster raised its head from the ground, which wobbled back to normal, and opening up from the center of it’s head, was a red ugly eye that blasted a red electric beam aimed for Goku and the green dragon–
"HA*!" –
"Hyperbeam*!" –
- the attacks collided filling the air above Sora and the others with a big bright explosion–
"Sa - Safeguard*!" The green dragon upon its master’s command roared its defiance against the monster as its body glowed green - it threw up its tail to block for Goku as flames encompassed them both: the monster shook its face as fire scorched it in the blaze,
"See? Rayquaza does listen to you!," Goku called to a boy on the dragon's head as the fire ceased around them-
"Well this is a fine time to start!," the boy called back. The flames fully extinguished as the monster shook its face–it then ripped its hands one at a time from the torn ground, and roared, glaring viciously down upon its foes as it leaned over them, it’s arms looking like they wanted to crush every single little thing –
"Uh-oh -"
The monster threw its body back and arms up and howled to the sky which darkened with swirling burning stars in the colors of a malicious vortex–
"I believe that's called Comet* if I'm not mistaken–"
"SAFEGUARD*!–SAFEGUARD*!–SAFEGUARD*!" -
"Reflect*!" -
"Mirror Force*!" -
"Ah ****!" -
"Get behind us!" shouted Sailor Moon.
Faye dragged Ed as Jet grabbed Ein bolting from their spot to join the Scouts and the others, Goku and the dragon remaining in air above them –
Sailor Moon (Serena) stood tall as the rest of the scouts held each other's hand and knelt on one knee behind her. From the locket on her chest, she took forth a crystal that changed her fighting attire into an elegant white gown sown onto her by light, changing her into Princess Serenity; she held up the crystal, the moon emblem appeared on her forehead and she cried,
“Moon Crisis Magic*! - "
- no sooner had she said the words, Comet*'s horrible shower of rock and fire rained down upon everyone protected by Serenity's pink translucent barrier reinforced with some individual magic: everything else unprotected within the mortal barrier was reduced to rubble and cinders: the attack subsided, and Serenity wobbled in place as her barrier disappeared, her gown fading back to her attack attire,
"Aiya, that takes so much out of me," Sailor Moon babbled as she collapsed on her friends -
"Serena!"
The monster slammed its hands on the ground with such terrible force, a shockwave emitted from the epicenter if its palms, knocking everyone back down on the ground again. Goku fired another Ka-me-ha-me-ha* and the boy ordered Rayquaza to perform another Hyperbeam* - but the monster immediately flung it's arm in the way to protect it's face where the attacks were aimed, its flesh rippling like water as it took the damage–
"It's very protective of it's face–we need to get a major attack in there and hopefully stun it!," yelled Sora, but before his command could be carried out, the monster's arms shot out like rubber at Goku and the dragon–Goku dodged, but the dragon was a much bigger target, and got caught in a choke hold along with the boy–
"Oh no!"
From Sora's view, a tiny yellow dot leapt from the head of the dragon and screamed–
“Pika–CHU!" An enormous bolt erupted from the little body and struck the monster right in its red eye; the dragon was released, regained itself, and caught the dot: the monster roared in pain and flung its arms wildly about its shifting head–
"NOW!" Everyone fired thier best attacks for the head, weakening the shielding hands (the wrists too courtesy of Spike, Jet, and Faye), and Sora, felt a new attack rise within him–"Wake the Night*!" and a beam of light fired from the end of his keyblade shooting right through the eye of the monster and out the back of its head–
"We did it!" Sailor Moon yelled on her knees, drained from her recent attack. The monster gave large saggy sways to the side, and slowly, began to fall forward, it's shadow eclipsing everyone–
"Ack!"–
"Move!" But the creature caught itself on it's decrepit hands, and slowly, looked up with the giant hole in it's head directly at Sora, who was close enough to smell the charred flesh of the monster; hoards of heartless and nobodies rose from the ground around its hands–
"Damnit, this thing ain't no quitter!" spat Jet.
The monster's head gave beats like a heart, and a pulsing sphere of grey insinuated itself from the torn sinews around it, hovering in the center of the hole–
"Eww–"
"How do we beat this thing?!" The hoard of heartless and nobodies crouched into attack positions surrounding Sora and the others, the two mouths of the monster drooled a grayish liquid, and smiled a mirrored smile on its face–Sora remembered how the monster easily sucked him within it–it was so close now, all it would have to do now was that deadly vacuum–!
Sora stood tall in front of the monster, heartless, and nobodies, "I'm not scared of you! And you see these people? They're not either!"
Everyone went into thier attack stance again as the monster pulled back its head and opened it's mouths wide–
The sharp crack of a strange gun was heard, it wasn't Spike, Jet, or Faye; the smile vanished on the monster's face as a botched hole appeared in its chest: two more shots were heard, and the monster's hands dissipated. Everyone looked up, and the monster turned its enormous head to Vincent who stood atop the Calling Wall. Vincent aimed his gun, and fired a single shot through the center of the hole in the monster's head–SPLAT! went out the gunky sphere, snapping the head back. The body dissipating before it hit the ground in a large breeze. He fired one last shot into the air, and the rest of the heartless and nobodies retreated and disappeared into their shadows and portals. Vincent looked to Sora, Sora holding an expression of awe as Vincent put his smoking gun in its holster.
"Ya know, we wore it out before you stepped in," called Goku rolling his shoulders.
Vincent looked deep into Sora who looked right back at him..."Get stronger Sora,” Vincent called - his cape covered him again and he disappeared as the mortal barrier vanished; the battle over.
*~*
“What kind of test was that?” blurted Little Slugger atop a building, “Hell I could’ve passed that!”
“I have no doubt you could’ve,” smiled Avera along side him, overlooking the former battlefield.
“Oh hush; Vincent probably screwed it up anyway finishing off the monster instead of Sora.”
“There was no need for Sora to trifle with it any longer,” said Sephiroth, “This was not something he could’ve passed or failed, it was an, evaluation at best.”
“Hey! But when I asked–you both said it was like, uh, then what was it a test, er, evaluation of?” Little Slugger jolted….
Avera, became subtle, then quietly replied, “The ability to stare at the beast and not blink...”
“The resolve to fight the unknown without fear,” continued Sephiroth,
“The desire to protect those unsheltered.”
“To die for the sake of only one cause.”
….”Is that some sort of creed?” Little Slugger asked.
Avera looked on to the sky, his wings wanting to unfurl, “From the forsake of death’s scorn, a Human dies, and a Seraph born.”
Comment and Rate please ^-^
Little Slugger:….I so don’t understand what the hell yall just said.
Sephiroth: And thus, you would have failed the test, miserably.
Little Slugger: Hey! I thought you said it wasn’t one of those pass or fail craps! Were you lying? Was this really an evaluation? Or a test? Huh? Helllooooo!
Avera: Personally I think the evaluation was a test for Sora to unlock himself.
Little Slugger: UNLOCK? Like this test was a key?!
Avera: I never said it was a test.
Little Slugger: ARGH!

Goku then seized this opportunity for an attack on the big guy and chucked Sora sideways to the giant Emotionless’ white hand–he slashed deep into it–and landed safely away on his feet, bumping a heartless and nobody into Pharaoh’s magic, that broke them like sand upon contact–tsssshhh.
The idle monster now had its excuse to take action.
SCREEEEEEIIIIIIIIII – MUMUMUUUUUOOOM! – BOOM. Sora blinked sparkles out of his eyes form a pretty explosion–his vision focusing into two Cursed Hammers charging for him, and appearing magically besides him–a Defender and Dark Ball tore for Pharaoh who was straining to push himself up after countering that pretty explosion with Fira*– obviously the two did not mix well – *Ouch, that was dumb*–
“Pharaoh?”
"Sora?" Sora leapt by Pharaoh, but Yugi quickly took over (Pharaoh was battered enough as it is, now it was his turn to protect his friend!) and used Mirror,* this time, in it’s more deadly form: the reflections of the foes killed themselves with thier own attacks, and the real ones did the same.
"I have something like that!," and Sora used Reflect* which bounced off an oncoming attack from a bunch of Dusks and Shadows, all of which got taken out by Spike and Faye's recovered sharp-shooting, "Aim for the big one guys if you can, that's our real target!" shouted Sora.
"It keeps pumping out new ones too fast!" Spike yelled back. The monster suddenly smashed its face in the ground, knocking everyone down, then yanked up its head hard, the ground merging with it–taken up like a wet cloth over the wound–
"Ah crap–!" Human, heartless, and nobody rolled down the now very slanted ground, (Jet, Ed, Faye, and Ein for the ride in the bar), but Sora regained his balance as he cast Stop* on the air around him, Yugi cast Mirror* on himself and Spike which knocked them both upright, but the ground was still slanting upwards, and all the falling heartless and nobodies twisted themselves upright towards the gang for an attack! Goku flew up from their charge and fired his special, “Ka-me-ha-me-HA*!”, a powerful beam attack on the back of the monster–
"Hyperbeam*!" A second beam attack joined Goku's from behind, both getting a direct hit on the back of the monster. The ground dropped like a settling blanket of earth back to normal: the head of the monster looking to be buried in the ground–level now–allowing everyone to easily dodge the Emotionless’ high attacks with lots of help from Jet and Faye's sniping.
Sora looked up as a long snake-like green dragon flew over the battle scene, and the Sailor Scouts, dressed in thier shimmering fighting attire, leapt down in front of Sora, Spike, and Pharaoh who faced the monster and new batch of heartless and nobodies,
*Hello,* thought Spike to the five beautiful behinds–
"In the name of the moon, we will pun–"
"Shut up and fight Serena!"
“FINE!”
The Sailor Scouts fired elegant and graceful attacks of the elements:
"Jupiter Thunder* crash!"–
"Mars Fire* Ignite!"–
"Mercury Bubbles* blast!"–
"Venus Crescent Beam*!"–
"Moon Tiara Magic*!"–
–clearing the field of heartless and nobodies for a few precious moments–
"We'll take care of the little ones–yall go after Two-Face!" yelled Sailor Jupiter (Lita). The monster raised its head from the ground, which wobbled back to normal, and opening up from the center of it’s head, was a red ugly eye that blasted a red electric beam aimed for Goku and the green dragon–
"HA*!" –
"Hyperbeam*!" –
- the attacks collided filling the air above Sora and the others with a big bright explosion–
"Sa - Safeguard*!" The green dragon upon its master’s command roared its defiance against the monster as its body glowed green - it threw up its tail to block for Goku as flames encompassed them both: the monster shook its face as fire scorched it in the blaze,
"See? Rayquaza does listen to you!," Goku called to a boy on the dragon's head as the fire ceased around them-
"Well this is a fine time to start!," the boy called back. The flames fully extinguished as the monster shook its face–it then ripped its hands one at a time from the torn ground, and roared, glaring viciously down upon its foes as it leaned over them, it’s arms looking like they wanted to crush every single little thing –
"Uh-oh -"
The monster threw its body back and arms up and howled to the sky which darkened with swirling burning stars in the colors of a malicious vortex–
"I believe that's called Comet* if I'm not mistaken–"
"SAFEGUARD*!–SAFEGUARD*!–SAFEGUARD*!" -
"Reflect*!" -
"Mirror Force*!" -
"Ah ****!" -
"Get behind us!" shouted Sailor Moon.
Faye dragged Ed as Jet grabbed Ein bolting from their spot to join the Scouts and the others, Goku and the dragon remaining in air above them –
Sailor Moon (Serena) stood tall as the rest of the scouts held each other's hand and knelt on one knee behind her. From the locket on her chest, she took forth a crystal that changed her fighting attire into an elegant white gown sown onto her by light, changing her into Princess Serenity; she held up the crystal, the moon emblem appeared on her forehead and she cried,
“Moon Crisis Magic*! - "
- no sooner had she said the words, Comet*'s horrible shower of rock and fire rained down upon everyone protected by Serenity's pink translucent barrier reinforced with some individual magic: everything else unprotected within the mortal barrier was reduced to rubble and cinders: the attack subsided, and Serenity wobbled in place as her barrier disappeared, her gown fading back to her attack attire,
"Aiya, that takes so much out of me," Sailor Moon babbled as she collapsed on her friends -
"Serena!"
The monster slammed its hands on the ground with such terrible force, a shockwave emitted from the epicenter if its palms, knocking everyone back down on the ground again. Goku fired another Ka-me-ha-me-ha* and the boy ordered Rayquaza to perform another Hyperbeam* - but the monster immediately flung it's arm in the way to protect it's face where the attacks were aimed, its flesh rippling like water as it took the damage–
"It's very protective of it's face–we need to get a major attack in there and hopefully stun it!," yelled Sora, but before his command could be carried out, the monster's arms shot out like rubber at Goku and the dragon–Goku dodged, but the dragon was a much bigger target, and got caught in a choke hold along with the boy–
"Oh no!"
From Sora's view, a tiny yellow dot leapt from the head of the dragon and screamed–
“Pika–CHU!" An enormous bolt erupted from the little body and struck the monster right in its red eye; the dragon was released, regained itself, and caught the dot: the monster roared in pain and flung its arms wildly about its shifting head–
"NOW!" Everyone fired thier best attacks for the head, weakening the shielding hands (the wrists too courtesy of Spike, Jet, and Faye), and Sora, felt a new attack rise within him–"Wake the Night*!" and a beam of light fired from the end of his keyblade shooting right through the eye of the monster and out the back of its head–
"We did it!" Sailor Moon yelled on her knees, drained from her recent attack. The monster gave large saggy sways to the side, and slowly, began to fall forward, it's shadow eclipsing everyone–
"Ack!"–
"Move!" But the creature caught itself on it's decrepit hands, and slowly, looked up with the giant hole in it's head directly at Sora, who was close enough to smell the charred flesh of the monster; hoards of heartless and nobodies rose from the ground around its hands–
"Damnit, this thing ain't no quitter!" spat Jet.
The monster's head gave beats like a heart, and a pulsing sphere of grey insinuated itself from the torn sinews around it, hovering in the center of the hole–
"Eww–"
"How do we beat this thing?!" The hoard of heartless and nobodies crouched into attack positions surrounding Sora and the others, the two mouths of the monster drooled a grayish liquid, and smiled a mirrored smile on its face–Sora remembered how the monster easily sucked him within it–it was so close now, all it would have to do now was that deadly vacuum–!
Sora stood tall in front of the monster, heartless, and nobodies, "I'm not scared of you! And you see these people? They're not either!"
Everyone went into thier attack stance again as the monster pulled back its head and opened it's mouths wide–
The sharp crack of a strange gun was heard, it wasn't Spike, Jet, or Faye; the smile vanished on the monster's face as a botched hole appeared in its chest: two more shots were heard, and the monster's hands dissipated. Everyone looked up, and the monster turned its enormous head to Vincent who stood atop the Calling Wall. Vincent aimed his gun, and fired a single shot through the center of the hole in the monster's head–SPLAT! went out the gunky sphere, snapping the head back. The body dissipating before it hit the ground in a large breeze. He fired one last shot into the air, and the rest of the heartless and nobodies retreated and disappeared into their shadows and portals. Vincent looked to Sora, Sora holding an expression of awe as Vincent put his smoking gun in its holster.
"Ya know, we wore it out before you stepped in," called Goku rolling his shoulders.
Vincent looked deep into Sora who looked right back at him..."Get stronger Sora,” Vincent called - his cape covered him again and he disappeared as the mortal barrier vanished; the battle over.
*~*
“What kind of test was that?” blurted Little Slugger atop a building, “Hell I could’ve passed that!”
“I have no doubt you could’ve,” smiled Avera along side him, overlooking the former battlefield.
“Oh hush; Vincent probably screwed it up anyway finishing off the monster instead of Sora.”
“There was no need for Sora to trifle with it any longer,” said Sephiroth, “This was not something he could’ve passed or failed, it was an, evaluation at best.”
“Hey! But when I asked–you both said it was like, uh, then what was it a test, er, evaluation of?” Little Slugger jolted….
Avera, became subtle, then quietly replied, “The ability to stare at the beast and not blink...”
“The resolve to fight the unknown without fear,” continued Sephiroth,
“The desire to protect those unsheltered.”
“To die for the sake of only one cause.”
….”Is that some sort of creed?” Little Slugger asked.
Avera looked on to the sky, his wings wanting to unfurl, “From the forsake of death’s scorn, a Human dies, and a Seraph born.”
Comment and Rate please ^-^
Little Slugger:….I so don’t understand what the hell yall just said.
Sephiroth: And thus, you would have failed the test, miserably.
Little Slugger: Hey! I thought you said it wasn’t one of those pass or fail craps! Were you lying? Was this really an evaluation? Or a test? Huh? Helllooooo!
Avera: Personally I think the evaluation was a test for Sora to unlock himself.
Little Slugger: UNLOCK? Like this test was a key?!
Avera: I never said it was a test.
Little Slugger: ARGH!

Ch.7 After the Battle
Universal World: I’ll give ya three guesses but you’ll only need one
"Take the picture - take the picture - take - take - take the picture!" - Garfield "A Tale of Two Kitties"
What was that little comment Vincent made? *I need to get stronger...?*
"Well if there's one good thing a mortal barrier does, it keeps the fight nice and concentrated so that no damage is done, at least to the surroundings," said Goku looking down about what still remained intact of the square; he looked to the boy atop the green dragon “You doin’ okay Ash?” Ash huffed shaking off the adrenaline built up in his system,
"If Serena's hadn’t developed her Barrier Bond* so well, we wouldn't have been able to make it through to yall to help. Heh, I didn’t believe it at first, but even Yugi” – *As if I’m so much of a fighter myself* – was fighting, and then a mortal barrier pops up? Bulma knew then it was bad.” Ash touched his neck, when that monster grabbed Rayquaza, he felt the same crushing grip around his neck…That was really scary; something with such intent to kill– “I wonder why Vincent waited so long to make a move though, I think he was watching the Keyblade Master." Rayquaza, the green dragon, cocked its head at the Master. “But that Master would have protected us right? If, if it got serious…?”
…..When was it not serious?
Goku easily read the expression, and being an experience combatant replied, “Sora cannot be in two places at once.”
Sure, a grip around the neck isn’t serious, or daggers being thrown at you, or nearly having your spleen torn out, or almost getting burned and crushed into, ash.
“But that’s what team mates are for right?” Goku added, “Yall did really well.” *No one died.*
“Adrenaline helps,” Ash muttered shivering the last of it off; Rayquaza did the same, and Pikachu shook with them for fun.
Ash wasn’t the only one who felt the pricklies of realizing what the hell he had just did: Spike was checking his gun and rocking on his heels, Jet and Faye were pretty composed as settling nerves allowed, and Yugi was snapped back into reality as Pharaoh slid out and smiled at him, seeing that he was physically perfectly okay. A little mental jarring every now and then was healthy…
"Is everyone okay?" Sora asked; he was answered with some groaning and waving of the hand – which also can be used as the expert’s “Yeah I’m good as far as near-death experiences go” cover-up. Ed replied by latching onto him,
"Sora's okay?" she asked nose to nose.
"I'm okay," said Sora and Ed released.
"Ugh," sighed Sailor Moon sitting up, “I haven't used the Silver Crystal in while."
Yugi stepped over and pulled her up, "Here,” he said and used Cura*: little green flurries danced around everyone’s injuries.
Spike observed his arm as a gash he received disappeared….*That’s handy.*
"Those things mean business now,” said Sailor Mars (Raye), “The Emotionless never dared to set foot within the city limits of Tumble-Stop before, plus sending monster heartless and nobody mix? We’ve never ever seen that before, or at least something so weird, since…”
“Yeah, and guess who just arrived,” said Sailor Venus (Mina) quietly, looking at Sora.
Goku flew down to the ground as Rayquaza lowered its body. Ash, wearing a cap, jeans, a black under-shirt, and a blue-white short jacket, steadied a little yellow creature-mouse with long black tipped ears on his shoulder. He sized up the jump and leapt down from the dragon's head, a split second before however, the dragon raised its head, making too high a jump–("Aahhhh!")–and he smashed down on the ground (miraculously on his feet), falling like a stone on his face, the little yellow electric mouse following suite.
"Sora, this is Ash," said Sailor Moon pointing to the mound,
Ash picked his arm up stiffly, "Hello,” body still face down. Rayquaza above growled a laugh.
"And this adorable little thing is Pikachu," piped Sailor Moon picking up the electric mouse, tucking under its wittle zig-zaggy tail, and cradled the boo-boo on its forehead.
"Return* you stupid lizard!" yelled Ash snapping up with a red and white ball in his hand that shot out a red light, engulfing the dragon (as it stuck out its tongue at Ash), and sucked it inside the ball. *I miss my pokemon,* muttered Ash internally looking at the sole pokeball he had.
“Pika-pika,” Pikachu cooed.
"(*Sigh*) I wish you could have met us under kinder terms,” said Sailor Moon as Pikachu leapt from her arms to Ash's shoulder, “but anyways, it's great to have you here Sora, we really need the Keyblade Masters to help us out against the darkness more than ever."
"I'm your guy,” said Sora swinging his blade over his shoulder; Ed nodded.
"Shouldn't there be other masters with you?," asked Sailor Jupiter (Lita)–
"We’ll ask our questions later," said Sailor Mercury (Amy),"Euphoria is waiting on the line back at the Lookout Tower."
"Call out a pokemon Ash; it's faster if we fly,” said Sailor Venus (Mina).
Ash crossed his arms and played," But it thought you hated–"
"Just do it," Sailor Venus snapped. Ash threw his red and white ball up in the air and out burst from the white light, was a large silver-white bird that looked as smooth as the water on a lake. It had some simple characteristics of a dragon, a long tail that ended with two purple spikes, strange purple feathers in two rows that stuck out on it's back, and purple streaks on it's sharp eyes. It had a long limber neck that was connected to a stout body, and a short curved mouth with the back of its head going into a spike: the pokemon landed by it's summoner and ruffled its wings.
"Lugia? We'll fit better on Rayquaza," said Sailor Venus in an annoyed tone.
"Rayquaza needs a rest, so it's Lugia, or bust," said Ash, and Sailor Venus boarded with a huff. Everyone crammed onto the back of the eighteen foot high legend with Sora up front by Ash just where the neck connected to the body. Goku offered to carry two people to which Faye happily leapt in his arms; Sailor Venus taking up on his offer as well.
Lugia rose up as smoothly as a summer's breeze, almost floating, and flew to the Lookout Tower. High in the sky, Sora observed all around him that was Tumble-Stop: the sight giving Sora a strong nostalgic feeling of Destiny Islands; perhaps because it had such a wonderful tie to the ocean.
A beautiful orange and red sunset, spotted with pink and blue clouds decorated the sky; it was as if Tumble-Stop was trying to reward those who defended it. The sun was partially covered by the sea, its shimmering shadow sparkling across the ocean and beyond the port city, contrasting with pieces of broken physical shadows created from the many structures that blanketed the land below: In the relaxed tone of things, the Sailor Scouts’ fighting attire faded into thier daily clothes.
"This is a really beautiful place,” said Sora; Ed was leaning on his shoulder studying Yugi who was looking at the sunset too.
"Yeah," said Goku flying by, "it's beautiful to alot of people."
"But Tokieo Town is our home away from home,” said Serena, “Tumble-Stop is more of a check-in point since our system is so big."
"So why are yall here at Tumble-Stop?" asked Sora.
"Helping Hands, we've hade quite a few new residents check in, especially with all the recent merges," said Lita, "those who didn’t want to leave this system during the merges came here through a Design of Euphoria's, 'those binds that seek the former ties are bound forever by the home they reside’, uh in, or basically ‘those unwilling to leave their home, may stay'."
Yugi and Ash perked up–*What?*
"What's a Design?"
"Um, it's kinda hard to say, help us out Amy."
"A Design is like a guide, created from the Will of one of the Spirits. Most of these Designs were created at the dawn of time, stated with each Spirit that presides over the individual aspect of existence they watch over. Take Euphoria for example, she is the Spirit of Life, and her Designs deal with life and however you want to live it, but with life comes death, Older Sister's Design, which states death is to come when the life of an individual ends.”
*Older Sister? Oh, that lady on the stained glass!*
“The Design of each spirit intertwines with one another's setting, creating simple guidelines for a universe unrestricted in its freedom of choices offered by the Designs," Amy stated.
"Oh."
"But Designs are just the tip of the iceberg, 'cause then, you have all the Laws to deal with," moaned Serena.
"Yeah, what are they again? Natural Laws, By-Laws, those are the big ones, and then you have the Laws of each system, then the individual Laws of each world, uh, that's all of them right?,” asked Raye.
"I think so,” said Amy, “Euphoria can explain them all to you when we get to the Lookout Tower."
"Hey Sora," said Ash, “What’s our sister system like?"
"It's a really nice place; there are lots of really kind people there, and all sorts of worlds that are more different than the next."
"There's not anything bad going on is there?” Ash asked with a slight waiver in his voice.
"No," Mina sighed, “systems can't merge as many worlds as ours did if the sister system was in a time of disturbance, as we've all said many times before."
"I would like to hear Sora say that please."
"Since my friends and I were brought here, that’s reason enough that the problem is here instead of there," said Sora.
Lugia shifted its eyes back to its summoner, it felt it's master's chest become heavy.
"Hey Raye, what was that job you talked about earlier?" asked Sora.
"Oh, forget about that, you’re gonna have more important responsibilities," said Raye.
"Well what was it anyways?"
"A Searcher, you know someone who looks for survivors on worlds that have been attacked by the darkness, and, also finding those who escaped merges," said Raye.
"You know on my journey I could do that too, I mean if we bump into anybody that needs to get rescued, I'm not gonna say 'sorry, but I have other things to do,’ " said Sora.
"Welp, we'll see what Euphoria wants you to do.”
…………………………
YouTube - Phil Collins - Another day in paradise
A cloud of fire began to wrap itself around a world, it’s icon becoming fuzzy on a displayed world map. Nefero set the projected world map to expand the entire dark wall and turned up the volume on a little make-shift radio, getting into a solemn groove, and sang along with the song it caught:
“She calls out to the man on the street, ‘sir can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve no where to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me?’
He walks on, doesn’t look back, he pretends he can’t hear her,
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarrassed to be there,
“Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise,” As Nefero sang with the song he watched the Riders through an Show Me Orb sentence world after world of the Fuukridge System into submission and destruction, each one twisting, bending intwixt themselves, imploding: the world map responding with icons disappearing one after another…:
“She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she’s been crying,
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet…she can’t walk but she’s trying,”
“Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; it’s just another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise,” –
The Fuukridge System was collapsing; it couldn’t sustain its heart anymore, and billions of screams echoed in the darkness, lost in the coming endless night. Nefero dug in his groove, and prepared for the next verse with passion:
“Oh lord, is there anything more anybody, can do?
Oh-whoa-oha – oh lord, there must be something you can SAY?!” – the radio was turned down.
“Beautiful Nefero,” mocked South Light stepping in, “At least they’re not taking their anger out on the Anime System, I like that one. Come on, let’s get going, I wanna eat.”
………………
Avera subtly grasped his chest, his head, and closed his eyes.
“Can you hear them?” asked Sephiroth.
“Hear what?” asked Little Slugger.
Avera, slightly trembling, nodded, and a tear slipped down his face.
“I wonder how that could have been prevented. Let’s go,” said Sephiroth to Little Slugger, and they left Avera alone in the Alley Way of Tumble-Stop.
Avera waited, making sure Sephiroth had retrieved ‘her’; then, walked through his portal of light to Riku and Kairi, those he must not protect anymore.
You can tell from the lines on her face, you can she that she’s been there,
Probably been moved on from every place, ‘cause she didn’t fit in there,
Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; it’s just another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise.
Think about it.
…”Are you going to report this to the new Master, Sora?”
“No, it was not his fault. These things, happen,” replied a short old woman with pink wavy hair; she walked off.
“Unfortunately.” Vincent picked up the charred body of a little girl and her puppy. They were the only two who didn’t clear out of the square in time, since, the little girl could not pull away her puppy, who wanted to help the strange boy with the golden upside down triangle.
It’s just another day in paradise.
(*Sigh*) This is the puppy who would not stop barking at Pharaoh in Ch. 6-2, along with it’s owner, the little girl.

"We’ll ask our questions later," said Sailor Mercury (Amy),"Euphoria is waiting on the line back at the Lookout Tower."
"Call out a pokemon Ash; it's faster if we fly,” said Sailor Venus (Mina).
Ash crossed his arms and played," But it thought you hated–"
"Just do it," Sailor Venus snapped. Ash threw his red and white ball up in the air and out burst from the white light, was a large silver-white bird that looked as smooth as the water on a lake. It had some simple characteristics of a dragon, a long tail that ended with two purple spikes, strange purple feathers in two rows that stuck out on it's back, and purple streaks on it's sharp eyes. It had a long limber neck that was connected to a stout body, and a short curved mouth with the back of its head going into a spike: the pokemon landed by it's summoner and ruffled its wings.
"Lugia? We'll fit better on Rayquaza," said Sailor Venus in an annoyed tone.
"Rayquaza needs a rest, so it's Lugia, or bust," said Ash, and Sailor Venus boarded with a huff. Everyone crammed onto the back of the eighteen foot high legend with Sora up front by Ash just where the neck connected to the body. Goku offered to carry two people to which Faye happily leapt in his arms; Sailor Venus taking up on his offer as well.
Lugia rose up as smoothly as a summer's breeze, almost floating, and flew to the Lookout Tower. High in the sky, Sora observed all around him that was Tumble-Stop: the sight giving Sora a strong nostalgic feeling of Destiny Islands; perhaps because it had such a wonderful tie to the ocean.
A beautiful orange and red sunset, spotted with pink and blue clouds decorated the sky; it was as if Tumble-Stop was trying to reward those who defended it. The sun was partially covered by the sea, its shimmering shadow sparkling across the ocean and beyond the port city, contrasting with pieces of broken physical shadows created from the many structures that blanketed the land below: In the relaxed tone of things, the Sailor Scouts’ fighting attire faded into thier daily clothes.
"This is a really beautiful place,” said Sora; Ed was leaning on his shoulder studying Yugi who was looking at the sunset too.
"Yeah," said Goku flying by, "it's beautiful to alot of people."
"But Tokieo Town is our home away from home,” said Serena, “Tumble-Stop is more of a check-in point since our system is so big."
"So why are yall here at Tumble-Stop?" asked Sora.
"Helping Hands, we've hade quite a few new residents check in, especially with all the recent merges," said Lita, "those who didn’t want to leave this system during the merges came here through a Design of Euphoria's, 'those binds that seek the former ties are bound forever by the home they reside’, uh in, or basically ‘those unwilling to leave their home, may stay'."
Yugi and Ash perked up–*What?*
"What's a Design?"
"Um, it's kinda hard to say, help us out Amy."
"A Design is like a guide, created from the Will of one of the Spirits. Most of these Designs were created at the dawn of time, stated with each Spirit that presides over the individual aspect of existence they watch over. Take Euphoria for example, she is the Spirit of Life, and her Designs deal with life and however you want to live it, but with life comes death, Older Sister's Design, which states death is to come when the life of an individual ends.”
*Older Sister? Oh, that lady on the stained glass!*
“The Design of each spirit intertwines with one another's setting, creating simple guidelines for a universe unrestricted in its freedom of choices offered by the Designs," Amy stated.
"Oh."
"But Designs are just the tip of the iceberg, 'cause then, you have all the Laws to deal with," moaned Serena.
"Yeah, what are they again? Natural Laws, By-Laws, those are the big ones, and then you have the Laws of each system, then the individual Laws of each world, uh, that's all of them right?,” asked Raye.
"I think so,” said Amy, “Euphoria can explain them all to you when we get to the Lookout Tower."
"Hey Sora," said Ash, “What’s our sister system like?"
"It's a really nice place; there are lots of really kind people there, and all sorts of worlds that are more different than the next."
"There's not anything bad going on is there?” Ash asked with a slight waiver in his voice.
"No," Mina sighed, “systems can't merge as many worlds as ours did if the sister system was in a time of disturbance, as we've all said many times before."
"I would like to hear Sora say that please."
"Since my friends and I were brought here, that’s reason enough that the problem is here instead of there," said Sora.
Lugia shifted its eyes back to its summoner, it felt it's master's chest become heavy.
"Hey Raye, what was that job you talked about earlier?" asked Sora.
"Oh, forget about that, you’re gonna have more important responsibilities," said Raye.
"Well what was it anyways?"
"A Searcher, you know someone who looks for survivors on worlds that have been attacked by the darkness, and, also finding those who escaped merges," said Raye.
"You know on my journey I could do that too, I mean if we bump into anybody that needs to get rescued, I'm not gonna say 'sorry, but I have other things to do,’ " said Sora.
"Welp, we'll see what Euphoria wants you to do.”

YouTube - Phil Collins - Another day in paradise
A cloud of fire began to wrap itself around a world, it’s icon becoming fuzzy on a displayed world map. Nefero set the projected world map to expand the entire dark wall and turned up the volume on a little make-shift radio, getting into a solemn groove, and sang along with the song it caught:
“She calls out to the man on the street, ‘sir can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve no where to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me?’
He walks on, doesn’t look back, he pretends he can’t hear her,
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarrassed to be there,
“Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise,” As Nefero sang with the song he watched the Riders through an Show Me Orb sentence world after world of the Fuukridge System into submission and destruction, each one twisting, bending intwixt themselves, imploding: the world map responding with icons disappearing one after another…:
“She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she’s been crying,
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet…she can’t walk but she’s trying,”
“Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; it’s just another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise,” –
The Fuukridge System was collapsing; it couldn’t sustain its heart anymore, and billions of screams echoed in the darkness, lost in the coming endless night. Nefero dug in his groove, and prepared for the next verse with passion:
“Oh lord, is there anything more anybody, can do?
Oh-whoa-oha – oh lord, there must be something you can SAY?!” – the radio was turned down.
“Beautiful Nefero,” mocked South Light stepping in, “At least they’re not taking their anger out on the Anime System, I like that one. Come on, let’s get going, I wanna eat.”
………………
Avera subtly grasped his chest, his head, and closed his eyes.
“Can you hear them?” asked Sephiroth.
“Hear what?” asked Little Slugger.
Avera, slightly trembling, nodded, and a tear slipped down his face.
“I wonder how that could have been prevented. Let’s go,” said Sephiroth to Little Slugger, and they left Avera alone in the Alley Way of Tumble-Stop.
Avera waited, making sure Sephiroth had retrieved ‘her’; then, walked through his portal of light to Riku and Kairi, those he must not protect anymore.
You can tell from the lines on her face, you can she that she’s been there,
Probably been moved on from every place, ‘cause she didn’t fit in there,
Oh,
think twice; ‘cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise,
oh,
think twice; it’s just another day for you, you and me in pa – ra – adise.
Think about it.
…”Are you going to report this to the new Master, Sora?”
“No, it was not his fault. These things, happen,” replied a short old woman with pink wavy hair; she walked off.
“Unfortunately.” Vincent picked up the charred body of a little girl and her puppy. They were the only two who didn’t clear out of the square in time, since, the little girl could not pull away her puppy, who wanted to help the strange boy with the golden upside down triangle.
It’s just another day in paradise.
(*Sigh*) This is the puppy who would not stop barking at Pharaoh in Ch. 6-2, along with it’s owner, the little girl.
Comment and Rate please ^-^
Euphoira: His expectations will be great, but just the same, his resolves will be just as grande...
Wow nice chapter.....I was surprised that you put Ash in his old outfit.
This chapter is still greatness. (I also checked a site....Lugia is actually 17'00ft tall.)

I got the feeling we are a little behind with pokemon here, who is Rayquaza?
I really like the chapter! It's very good!
