KH The Dark Realm: My Story Part 7


“That wasn’t the wrong choice.” X told no one. He looked at Danso and then walked through the open door to an outer courtyard. The courtyard was barren it was a large rectangle with cobble stone covering it’s area. The parts that remained uncovered housed long dead trees. - In the middle stood a man adorned in heavy armour. There was dragon head ornamentation on his belt and he hefted a huge sword. The thing must have weighed several hundred kilos. It was a rough unrefined edge that seemed to have been hewn from a large boulder. It in spite of its clumsy appearance seemed to be an exquisite armament. X couldn’t place why but there was something telling him just that.
“Hello”, the man said dully.
“Hi”, X said tersely.
“Don’t be like that. I’m welcoming you to my humble abode, at least show some gratitude.” the man saw looking around at everything but X.
“What do you want?” X asked curtly, as he flexed his fingers.
“Don’t you even want to know my name?” The man said taken aback by X’s lack of respect for due process.
“Not particularly. And one more thing why’d you post that guy out there?” X asked waving is hand back to the open gate.
“That wasn’t my decision. I never thought you’d kill him so callously though.” The man said swinging his sword about.
“I did as I said I would none should expect different.” X said indifferently.
“That’s not what the chapel footage led us to believe.” The man said smiling and stopping his sword in mid-swing.
“Really, I killed her despite the fact that Allen had feelings for her. Isn’t that enough to convince you corporate bigots.” X said examining the surrounding area.
“But you held back, you could have torn through her with Inverse Potential but you didn’t. She was alive long enough for you to set her soul to rest. That shows mercy a trait unnecessary for our candidate.” The man said a little more serious.
“I chose to do so because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I wasn’t merciful for Allen’s sake. I was so that everything would fall into place.” X said drawing Gladius and Broad Edge.
“I don’t believe you have a master plan for us I think you have false emotions clouding your true thoughts.” The man stated raising his sword to X.
“Think what you want I’m Nobody and you’re Somebody, you couldn’t get it.” X said shifting into a battle stance.
“You’re wrong, I can understand it. That’s why I can lead because I understand people. You’re the one who can’t get it. Your teacher has come to give you your final lesson.” The man likewise assumed a battle pose with the last words.
“We’ll see who’s wrong with our blades. Right Section Leader.” X said charging at Seagle. He made a clean downward slice. It however was stopped by the massive blade witch Seagle was wielding one handed. X jumped off to one side and tried again. The same thing happened time after time. Despite the swords mass Seagle carried it as if it were a twig.
“You’ve gotten slow.” Seagle pointed out casually.
“Hmph, it’s not me who’s gotten slow, it’s you who’s gotten fast.” X thought to himself. He switched over to Duality and without the heavy blades encumbering his movement he ran flat out towards Seagle. Another block, but X saw that Seagle was using both hands to hold back his twin swords. X leapt over and tried a back slash, Clank! His swords met with Seagle’s armour, unable to cause any damage X withdrew to evaluate his opponent. Seagle just stood back facing X as if he had fallen asleep standing up.
“What, giving up already? Not like Allen at all it seems.” Seagle taunted turning and smiling at X.
“You know I’d rather not be compared to him. He was my other and all.” X said keeping up the conversation.
“Oh yes you must hate him for being the savior.” Seagle said condescendingly.
“No, I can’t hate or love. Allen could, and I think he hated me for it.” X said, pensive.
“Don’t be silly he never knew about you. You only remember him ‘cause we let you.” Seagle jeered.
“I think he did know. Something in his heart told him. Something I couldn’t understand.” X said calmly.
“Whatever. Hearts are very simple things. Sure they’re hard to deal with, but they’re very predictable.” Seagle smiled as he raised his sword over his head.
“You still don’t get it. Probably ‘cause you never think of anything outside the mission. Not even yourself.” X stated gripping his swords tighter. X let his head drop down, as he stared at the ground he saw something. It was small but he could see a blade of grass poking up through the cobble stones that floored the courtyard. He smiled he had know idea why, but it made the smile come to his lips even when it wasn’t in his heart. He looked up at a now bored looking Seagle. He knew he could win, there was no question now.
“So you gonna stand there looking at your shoes all day or are you gonna try and learn something?” Seagle yelled over impatiently.
“Neither.” X said smirking. A moment later X was flying through the air toward Seagle. As before Seagle easily blocked it. But this time X pushed off of the great sword launching himself high into the air. Seagle followed suit and matched X’s height easily. There they clashed. X had an advantage in the air because of his agility and lightness he couldn’t stand up to blows so the energy couldn’t transfer completely. X took this exploited his advantage expertly. Seagle swung violently at him but he was just pushed to a wall where he rebounded and struck Seagle. He didn’t stop there. X continue to rebound off walls and struck Seagle multiple times and with his last blow X slammed him into the ground. X landed and looked over at the crash site. Soon enough Seagle was up and he looked totally unharmed. He cracked his neck and grinned over at X. X ran over and crossed his blades into a deadly scissor . He slashed at Seagle’s head in an attempt to decapitate him. Seagle quickly leaned back, just far enough to evade the swords but then he brought his head forward smashing it into X‘s. X staggered backwards blood dripping down his face. Seagle brought his sword straight down on the unprepared X. X managed to evade it by rolling backwards but it was to close, far too close. X wiped off the blood and stood up. There was a huge crater where Seagle had struck, but Seagle wasn’t there. X looked around and heard something above him. Seagle fell through the air driving his sword straight down into the ground. X leapt away only barely avoiding death. Next Seagle hurled his blade at X with tremendous force. X jumped over and brought both blades down with all the might he possessed. But he was struck in the back by a huge weight. Seagle’s sword had boomeranged and the blunt side hit X. He was thrown against the wall hard. Seagle picked up his sword and prepared for the final blow. His eyes changed color and the courtyard darkened. X struggled to his feet only to see Seagle dash towards him surrounded by a unique aura. X leapt into the air but hit his head on a palm tree. The courtyard was now an islet with palm trees scattered about. Seagle began his assault with a mighty downward strike, X dodged to the side but ran into a wall. They were now on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Seagle continued swinging viciously as X blocked and dodged all he could. Seagle slammed him through the deck into a cargo hold below. X found himself standing up in yet another place. It was a square in front of a palace. Seagle continued his insane onslaught. Soon the square lay in ruins and X was running out of steam. Again they moved to another place. They were now in a deep jungle thicket. X dashed off into the trees to escape he ended up running into a pile of rubble. He looked around and was on street in front of a skyscraper. Seagle had stopped and was amassing every bit of his power to his sword, this was it the end of all things X knew. X also did the same hoping that he could match Seagle in a direct confrontation. X closed his eyes and looked back on his existence, he had to know if it was time to die yet.
“We both know someone’s gonna die here, you or me?” Seagle asked seriously.
“I don’t think I came to die.” X said ,unsure, but it was enough to just think. That’s all he needed. It began to rain lightly at first but then harder. With that final exchange they both charged full out at each other. Seagle Took advantage of his weight and he brought down his sword once more. X had no chance to match him in strength so he had to win in speed. He transformed his blades into Honor and sheathed the katana. Next he ran towards Seagle with abandon. They met and they clashed and then it was over. X lay on the ground under Seagle’s blade and Seagle lay on the ground with X‘s sword lodged into his side. X slowly struggled to his feet. Then he walked over to Seagle.
“I’m sorry it went like that, Section Leader.” X said emotionlessly.
“I’m not. You learned the lesson right?” Seagle said weakly.
“Yes I did.” X said stooping down to hear Seagle’s final words.
“Good, just as planned. I’m proud of you and I’m sorry for doing this to you, or rather Allen.” Seagle choked out.
“…”
“It’s alright I came here to die and you didn’t, follow your path and never try to walk the straight and narrow when it’s obvious the road curves wide.” Seagle chuckled to himself.
“…”
“Don’t worry. Oh yeah, you can’t so don’t lose then. The only one who can win is you. Allen was too soft, you’re the man for the job. Though I had to see for myself. So keep up the good work and make sure the mission is completed. For me okay?” Seagle said quickly losing consciousness.
“Sure, I owe you this.” X said in an almost sad sounding voice.
“You don’t…” Seagle died before he could finish.
“Bye.” X’s mechanical voice echoed throughout the empty world as he was pulled back to the empty courtyard. X stood up and looked at the ground where Seagle should have been the single blade of grass was still there. X sighed out of exhaustion and collapsed.



“So, Seagle is dead?”
“Yes sir.”
“Did you try to stop him?”
“No sir.”
“Why not?”
“He is a Superior, I assumed he was carrying out orders I didn‘t know of.”
“Fine, you are now the Superior of the section.”
“Thank you sir.”
“No need you’d be a better leader than Seagle anyways. He was to emotional. I guess that was just his nature.”
“Yes sir.”
“No need to be so uptight. It’s not like I hate you or anything.”
“Alright.”
“Now for your first mission you should finish off the ‘hero’. Send anyone you like from any section you choose.”
“Thank you.”
“Who will it be?”
“Solken seems to be the right choice, no?”
“Excellent I’ll send for him at once.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. it’s my job to help you out Seagle never understood that.”
“I think he did, he was just too free spirited to admit it.”
“Whatever you say. You knew him best.”
“I don’t think I did.”

Oh. Another cliffhanger. Post comments please. Part 8 coming sooner or later.
