When Riku jumped back, Sora did as well, performing a back flip as he recovered from the powerful attack he had just failed to complete. He would have charged forward if he could have, but then he would have had a better chance of being put in a bad position. This wasn't only a fight of might--it also was about strategy.
Roxas would storm off and leave Namine alone, and she'd try to call him all through out the day and tell him who her friend was, but he wouldn't...
When he was four steps away, Sora pulled a spin move, using the movement in a way that would power up a horizontal swing of his blade. A battle cry left his lips at the attack, his blade coming in toward Riku.
Kay, well, I had this idea that a little after Roxas is back (close to New Years--Before or after, I don't care), Namine would go to the grave of...
Sora didn't let up, knowing that Riku would use that against him in the future. He summoned his Keyblade back into his hand and charged forward, using his speed to his advantage once again.
Sounds good; you should do it. =) Okie dokie. =) Remember how in V2, Namine was recovering from the death of her Grandfather? And he had passed...
The moment the spell disappeared, Sora rolled to the side, pulling a reversal on Riku. Instead of directly attacking him, he performed a back flip and threw the blade while he was in midair, the Keyblade spinning horizontally toward his opponent.
Is it short or long? Mine's pretty long; maybe you should go first. xD
Sora brought his blade in closer to him, angling it toward the ground as he focused his strength. "Fire!" he cried, recalling an old spell that had been useful to him before. A few balls of fire surrounded him, not only protecting him from any incoming attacks but also slightly wounding an enemy so they could be caught off guard. That was exactly what he needed to do when it came to Riku--catch him off guard, then perform a combo.
Indeed. =) Want to know my other idea for Roxas and Namine? ;3
Sora took a step back as the blade came into the cloud, going horizontally in front of him. He rolled to the side and lifted his blade again, seeing Riku standing in the position he had attacked him in. A cry left his lips as he lifted himself up, swinging in an angled, upward swing.
Sure, sounds like a good idea. =)
Sora landed in the cloud of dust, his eyes wandering as he searched for Riku. At first glance, it was impossible to see anything. He raised his Keyblade as a defense to any unseen attacks, ears listening for any trace of his opponent.
Oh? Do tell. ;3
Sora's smile dimmed even though things had gone exactly as he had hoped they would. He changed his position in the air one moment before his blade would have contacted Riku's, his feet landing on the blade instead. He propelled himself back up off the blade, flying toward a wall behind his friend. He got his footing against the side of the wall without a problem and then launched himself towards Riku's back, where he was vulnerable.
Sorta bad. It wouldn't spoil the reunion, it would just be something she could bring up during the conversation we just discussed. ;3
"Hmph." Sora smirked at the gesture. "Same cocky Riku," he muttered, though it was loud enough for Riku to hear. He loud out a battle cry and ran forward a few steps before he jumped up into the air, Keyblade in front of him as he prepared to deal the first blow.
I also had another idea for right before when Namine sees Roxas waiting for her in her home, but I may keep that a surprise. xP
Sora smirked faintly, twirling the Keyblade in his hand as he took a battle stance. "Gladly," he said simply, his bright blue eyes showing his seriousness. Even if he didn't beat Riku in this fight, his friend would see that he was perfectly capable of not only defending himself but doing serious damage in battle.
I had a few things in mind...I'll just quick spit out a basic layout of the conversation. xP Namine-I could have stopped it from happening......
