It is. xD We'll have to plan new times to meet during the summer, since school won't keep us off the site anymore. ;3
Leon found himself smirking slightly, seeing Sora victorious on the battlefield. I knew you had it in you, kid, he thought, keeping his eyes on the brunet. He knew then that he had made the right decision letting Sora fight out his frustrations. The question now, though, was did Sora see it that way? Or did he have hard feelings about Leon leaving him alone out there? Sora summoned away Oathkeeper and fell down onto his knees, Kingdom Key stabbing the ground in front of him. He gasped for air and held onto the hilt of the blade with both hands, keeping himself upright because of that. He had used up all his strength in the battle, and now he just felt plain exhausted.
Right. xD Hopefully things'll get a little more exciting as the summer goes on. But not too exciting, of course. x3 I still want time to RP!
Sora felt an Armored Knight impact his back, forcing him forward. He did a forward somersault and then turned his body slightly, throwing Oathkeeper at the Heartless. He then slashed through the last group of three in front of him, destroying them with one swipe with the Kingdom Key. The battle was over.
Alrighty, I'll check in every once in a while. ;3 I've got nothing better to do; my summer is so boring already, and it's only my first official...
By the time Sora had reached five hundred, he started dividing up what kind of anger he used for each group of Heartless. He killed a hundred in anger for Namine, for she hadn't deserved the treatment she received in Castle Oblivion. Another two hundred fell to Sora's blade because of his anger against the Organization, whose evil never ceased to amaze him. If there were some way they could be resurrected, Sora would kill them all for a second time just to satisfy the rage he felt against them. The last two hundred, though, were for himself. He had been an awful person lately, snapping at his friends. That, and he felt as if he had fallen into a trap by going to Castle Oblivion. He felt as if the Organization had manipulated him again, even in their death. That infuriated Sora, making him fight hard despite his exhaustion.
Okie dokie. Any idea when you'll be back? I'm going to speed things up; the battle will be over soon. =)
Compared to the rest of the battle, where Sora had barely been fighting, the next stage of it went by easily. For a long while, he just enjoyed being able to swing his Keyblades and feeling confident in battle again. He hadn't expected he would be able to recover that feeling again. But after that, his dark thoughts from earlier started to settle in. The Organization. Namine. His memories. His recent behavior. He started slashing through the Heartless in anger, his attacks becoming more ferocious.
Sora saw another Surveillance Robot shoot a beam of light at him, but he simply bent his knees and performed a high leap, jumping over the Heartless and slashing through it before he landed on the other side of it. He smirked and flexed his left hand, Oathkeeper appearing in his grasp. "Come and get it!" he cried, finally feeling the will to fight flood through his veins. Leon watched silently as Sora fought like the Keyblade Master he was, hearing Yuffie's remark to the other two teens. She probably hadn't seen that Sora had made him pretty nervous as well, but he was glad for that. He was the one who had to remain calm and composed. He still felt as if he were trying to make a point to Roxas to say that having Sora fight himself was what was necessary for the brunet to recover.
Shield! Sora mentally cried. The barrier started around him and then pushed out, sending the Heartless that had previously been on top of him flying. While they were just landing on the ground, he jumped to his feet and pointed his Keyblade at the ground, casting a healing spell. He felt the coolness of the curing over his body, taking away most of the injuries he had just received. He gasped and looked back at his enemies, eyes burning with the sudden determination to survive. Leon silently released a breath of relief, having seen the action once he moved his hand away from his face. He folded his arms across his chest and continued watching, seeing Sora just curing himself then. That must have used up whatever magic he had left, but he had faith Sora knew what he was doing in battle.
Leon furrowed his brows, bringing a hand up to his forehead. Maybe sending Sora down had been a mistake after all...he really wasn't doing well. This could be the end of everything if Sora didn't pull it together right away. Everyone was too far away to help, even if they decided to lend him a hand. It was truly up to Sora. Sora saw a group of Armored Knights rushing over, about to pounce. He shut his eyes, preparing for it to end. Then, though, everything changed. Get up, Sora! Fight! He opened his eyes and gasped, recognizing the voice in his head. Kairi. He knew it wasn't actually her calling at that moment but a figment of his imagination. Either way, the cry was going to save him. He tightened his grip on the Keyblade as he laid there, the Heartless pouncing on him.
"Sora will be fine," Leon said calmly, turning his eyes back to the battlefield. He was glad that Riku understood the logic behind all this; he had been concerned that Riku's long-time friendship with Sora would have clouded his judgement on the issue. But it was a pleasant surprise to have been proved wrong about that. Sora beat down one more Heartless, a grunt leaving him at the force of his own blade defeating the enemy. He had been fighting mostly Armored Knights and Surveillance Robots this whole time, the same two types of Heartless he had fought last time in this area. But they were much tougher this time. He whirled around and lifted his Keyblade to block an incoming blow, but it wasn't the type he expected. A floating Surveillance Robot shot a beam of light at him, impacting him hard in the chest. A cry left his lips as he was knocked backwards and into the hard canyon wall. He groaned and felt his body fall back down to the ground, the teen on his stomach. I can't fight anymore...he thought tiredly, not moving from the strong attack. Not even my anger can keep me going....It's over.
Forever- Rascal Flatts
Goodbye- Plankeye
Leon was surprised at Roxas' outburst, but he wasn't angered. Yuffie had expressed the same doubts, and he had been able to reassure her that letting Sora fight was the right move. He'd just have to convince Roxas as well. "Maybe he's not," he agreed calmly, looking at the blond Nobody. "But it's something he has to do. It's his duty as a Keyblade wielder to defeat Heartless." A battle cry left Sora's lips as he finished a combo, sending more hearts up into the sky. Just like the Organization would have wanted, he thought, anger boiling up inside him. They used me. Lied to me. Made Namine hurt me and my friends. They killed a lot of people trying to reach their goal and almost succeeded in killing me a few times. The thoughts angered Sora even more, the brunet becoming enraged.
Sora ground his teeth together, his shoulders slumped in exhaustion. He had to fight through more Heartless, but he just couldn't bring himself to. He didn't have the strength, physically or mentally. It's all because of the stupid Organization, he thought bitterly, eyebrows furrowed as he aimlessly swung and destroyed a Heartless. They ruin everything! Leon stood by silently, keeping his eyes on Sora. He was still fighting, which showed he probably hadn't heard anything going on at the top of the canyon. That wasn't surprising, though, considering that it was pretty loud in the battlefield. He silently hoped Riku and Roxas wouldn't try to rush down, for this was something Sora had to conquer by himself.
Change of plans--I have a sleepover tonight. =) I'm sure I'll be on sometime tomorrow, so hopefully I'll see you then!
Hopefully we'll catch each other then. xD Bye!
Leon turned halfway, looking at Roxas and Riku. "You guys done with the computer already?" he asked, directing the question more towards Riku. He had previously suspected the older teen would be interested in a lot of stuff on the computer and be on there all day. Apparently he had been mistaken. Sora saw two more rush at him and he raised his Keyblade, slashing through the two Heartless without giving them a chance to strike him. He was getting better at fighting, but he probably had only fought through 1/4 of the Heartless, and he was already tired.
