Sora was surprised when the Dusk charged forward toward him. He let out a battle cry as he swung at the Nobody, but it pulled a reversal on him instead, using its sharp "hands" to slash at his back relentlessly. Sora winced, feeling himself being pushed forward with each slash. Back off! he mentally shouted, unable to escape the combo that was being used against him.
I gotta go too, bye!
Sora suddenly felt something strike him in the back and he let out a grunt at the pain, stepping forward a bit to recover. He ignored the pain and exhaustion that suddenly wanted to overtake him and spun around, lifting his Keyblade in preparation to fight off the pesky Dusk.
Oh, that's good. =)
Sora set his footing and focused, thinking that now was the time to try something new. The Nobodies he knocked back were all in a line, so it was the perfect set-up. He felt his blade get warmer with magic, and then it began to glow with the tint of a lightning spell. He smirked slightly and chucked it at them, the electrified Keyblade going through the Dusks once before acting as a boomerang and coming back through them again and into his hand. That took out a lot of Nobodies in the field.
Aw, what happened? =/ And that is good timing. xD
Sora finished off his first Dusk, then sensing another presence behind him the moment it was done. He looked over his shoulder and then pulled a reversal when the Dusk tried to hit him. He successfully dodged it and swiped at the Nobody's back, stunning it. However, then he sensed more enemies toward him, more than he could block at once. Unless... "Fire!" he cried, pointing his blade at the ground as he cast the spell. All the enemies near him were sent back, critically injured or gone entirely.
xD I'll be leaving in about 20 minutes, but I'm sure I'm not going out for lunch now. So I'll probably be on around 2-2:30 my time.
Sora noticed one of the Dusks that was impacted by Riku's blast was flung off towards the side, to his left. He grunted softly and ran past Riku, his blade slashing through the Nobody when he was within striking rang.
Wow. xD How do we do that?!
Sora caught Roxas' brief look, and he knew what he was thinking. But he could handle this fight, as long as the emotions of what he just saw didn't get to him and mess him up. Even if that were the case, he could at least defend himself. He blinked and lifted his Keyblade, seeing the Dusks starting toward them.
That was good timing. We got on, at like, the same time! xD
Sora opened his eyes, looking up past Roxas and Riku. Sure enough, the Dusks had appeared. He was very fortunate that they hadn't come earlier, when he was experiencing the memory. He shook his head slightly and summoned his Keyblade, knowing this fight would be almost too difficult for Roxas and Riku to handle while defending him. He could fight them off; after all, that's what he had done for the past eight floors. He stabbed his blade into the ground and rose to his feet, a little shaky but more confident when he was fully upright.
Sora nodded slightly, the memories still whirling through his mind even though the vision had faded. Riku...why did you fight me? I thought we were supposed to be friends. He shut his eyes and tried to calm his breathing, which was still not quite back to normal.
G'night! =)
Sora furrowed his brows, the memory fading as he saw his younger self running in the direction Riku came from. He knew that the rest would come to him as soon as he hit the next floor. He lowered his hands from his head and set them on his knees, keeping them as fists. He gasped and opened his eyes, his breathing slightly heavy both due to the intensity of the memory and his tiredness from earler. What in the world was that? How could that have happened? How could Riku have said such horrible things? None of it made sense to him, but he was too hurt to look for the answers at that moment.
Arise- Flyleaf
'Kay. xD Like I said, I'll be on before noon most likely, so it's possible we can catch each other this morning. If not, then early afternoon....
Sora winced outwardly, both as a reaction to the memory and to his friends coming up beside him. However, he couldn't do anything else to acknowledge they were there, since he was in the middle of a memory. The story continued to unfold in his mind, catching his attention again. Sora grunted in surprise, feeling the pressure of Riku's blade against his. "What's-what's wrong with you?" he stuttered, his voice showing his heartbreak. "We're supposed to be friends!" Riku scoffed. "Please, Sora. Since when have you ever cared about me?!" He paused for a moment, his dark glare staying on Sora as he pressed his blade against his. "Namine's not the only one sick of looking at you...So am I!" He grunted and launched himself backward, landing back where he had been before. He lifted his blade into a battle position, his body language showing what he wanted to happen next: a fight. "Riku...stop it!" Sora ordered, standing upright and looking at his friend across from him. How could he say such a thing?! And now, he was starting a fight. Sora swallowed and lifted his Keyblade, resigned. He had to fight; he had no choice. He battled Riku for a while and in the end, Sora came out the victor. After it was over, Riku just ran off, Sora calling after him desperately. "Riku, wait!"
