Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Could he get any more edgy? Like seriously, she thought she was bad, but this? "Yes Aux, yes you can. I think he just surpassed you in terms of edginess. You need to take your title back after all." She stated sarcastically. "Like seriously, he is still talking about a girl no one has cared about for a long time now. Besides look at him, he will never win a fight like that." Karina stated summoning her single keyblade to her hand. She was going to have fun shutting Leo up. One strike on the keyblade in his mouth and his teeth would be gone. "Well Aux, do you want to do the honours, or shall I?" ​

 

​

Castur felt power surge through him and in the heat of the moment he reached for that power that was just bursting to get out. "The time has come," Castur smirked as he struck Scroop again with his keyblade and by now the alien crab pirate could not even lift his own body due to the increased weight he was now experiencing. Castur then finished with one last upwards strike which then shifted gravity upwards, "AND SO HAVE I!!" He shouted as Scroop, with a mixed expression of fear and confusion on his ugly face, began to speed upwards towards the sky with a yell while desperately trying to snatch Castur on his way up.

Castur lowered his blade and took a step back, looking up as Scroop flew ever higher until he became little more than a black dot in the sky and then vanished from view presumably floating all the way into the atmosphere and maybe even beyond. He coughed and shrugged his shoulders to regain his composure and called off his keyblade. "Ladies and gentlemen, Scroop has left the building." He spoke with a chuckle.

 

Aux shrugged. "At this point I don't care who hits him."
Zulu scoffed through the blade in his mouth. "A coward's choice... Darkness know it's true master, and that master is I!"
After a deep and irritated exhale, Aux cracked his neck by tilting his head. "Nope. Changed my mind." Aux dashed forward without his keyblade in hopes to punch the boy out.
Zulu grinned, staying in place. Without doing anything, a giant steel cage with no lock fell onto Aux. He ran into the steel bars, and got stunned for a brief second.
"Fool! No one can harm me! I'm far too skilled...." Zulu chuckled, leaning both blades over his shoulders.
Aux was at a loss for words. "What the... WHY?! Where did the cage come from? Was it hanging? It's not even skill, it's.."
Too many questions raced to his mind as he couldn't fathom what was happening.
"Your weakness clouds your judgement. Only I can follow the path to darkness. The demons of my past are on my side."
"What?!... That's.. that's not even remotely true... You just sound stupid... Stop being stupid!" Aux was growing more frustrated than annoyed.

 

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Karina knew that the last time she had done this, it hadn't turned out as well for her as she had hoped. But it was time that Karina tried to control it better and have a firm handle on her own darkness. She began channeling the darkness through her, letting it take form as a visible aura around her, as armour began to encompass her being. Karina had to fight to keep her own rage back and channel the darkness without letting it overtake her. When she was confident that she had done that she looked up at Leo. "You think you are the only one who can walk a dark path and thrive Leo? Try again. And I don't need help from some wannabe to do it. I don't have to turn on the people I care about to embrace the dark past I have walked. You are the weak one for thinking you do. Now stop hiding behind lame traps like the coward you are and have a proper battle." Karina threatened summoning Daunting Renewal to her hand. "No wonder Anora never loved you. You are a hopeless loser." She taunted trying to get Leo worked up enough that he made the first move. If he did, she would be there waiting. ​

 

Zulu scoffed. "Anora was indeed one I favored, but she held me back from my true potential..." He let go of the keyblade in his mouth and hit the blade straight forward with his right keyblade, causing the blade to ricochet towards Karina. The keyblade flew past her as she kept vigilant. "You might be able to use the darkness, but I was born in it... You see, while Zulu is my new name, there is a more true reason why Leo is no more." He crossed his keyblades in an 'X' formation, causing the third keyblade to come chasing back like a boomerang, knocking Karina in the back of the head and knocking her to the ground. Cbains burst from the ground and kept Karina chained to the ground. "For you see... I am Leo's nobody! Which is ironic, because soon enough, you will be the ones that are no more..."
His attention turned to Kel. "As for you.. old friend... Do you recall me mentioning something about the Achilles tendon?" he wickedly grinned.

 

"Do you hear yourself talk? Seriously, I can't tell if you can hear how stupid you sound or not." Karina stated as a keyblade went flying for her and she dodged out of the way with ease. He then said something about being born in darkness and Karina rolled her eyes. "And I was born in a military family, and you don't see me leading any great armies. Want to know why? It doesn't matter what you are born into. You just grow up to be who you are meant to be, in your case, a poor, sad, lonely, loser who thinks he can scare people off with empty words." Karina argued back, not noticing the keyblade that somehow managed to come back around. She didn't even question where the chains came from and how they held into the ground so tightly. None of this made sense. It was like he didn't understand the mechanics of the universe so he didn't have to follow them. Unfortunately for Karina, she did understand them so she had to abide by them. ​

 

Zulu's grin faded from Karina's words. "Your words cut like feathers. Soft and almost humorous..." He clanked his two keyblades together. "If I'm such a loser... then it sure looks like I'm winning!"
Another cage fell down fell down onto Kel this time. Again, without warning. Aux could only just look back from Zulu to Kel. His hands outstretched towards Kel's cage as a gesture of his frustration.
"My powers are unlike anything you've seen before... I transcend the need to fight with blades. I simply will my enemies into submission and it is done. You're all still leagues behind my true power!"
Aux stepped forward to his cage and gripped at the bars. "So... you cheat," he replied bluntly.
Zulu laughed a little to extra. "HAW HAW HAW! My powers are beyond your comprehension."
"All I'm hearing is that you play dirty. And if that's the way you want it..." Aux gripped his hands against the bars as his dark aura began to manifest. He reached the second level of his dark impulse as he gritted his teeth, pulling open the bars.

Zulu stepped back as he winced from the sight of the bars starting to bend. The cage around Aux immediately shattered into tiny pieces, along with the chains on Karina and Kel. The pieces on the ground slowly faded away.
Clearing his throat, Zulu laughed, "Ha ha, you're will is strong, but mine is stronger!"He clanked his keyblades together as three cages fell on top of them once more.
"Your prison will be like your weakness! ETERNAL!"
Aux calmed down, dispersing his dark Aura.

"Oh that's just sad... You use illusions?"
Zulu looked to the side. "No mortals.. My powers are beyond your understanding. The true power of- OW!" A rock the size of Zulu's eye hit him against his forehead.
The cages shattered around them again and dissolved. It seemed whenever Zulu lost his cool, his illusions faded.
Aux picked up another one off the ground as he tossed it in his hand. "Well that was a rock. And if you still don't understand it, I'll be happy to drill the material into your head..." He gripped the rock in his hand tightly.

Zulu looked to Kel and Karina. "I'm still the strongest warrior among you! You're all still weak!"

The group evenutally reached the reunion point as all the pairs converged. Stratos, Cubby and Slightly were all waiting for them. Peter stared shocked that they were the victors.
"What the! How did you three beat us?!"
"Well, we were fighting a lot..." Cubby began. "But then Stratos helped us sort through our problems. Isn't that right Stratos?"
Stratos nodded silently.

"Huh," Peter shrugged. "Well a deal's a deal, lost boys and girls! Their team gets first dibs at the treasure." He turned to Stratos. "Your a fine leader to get my men into ship shape! You have my thanks pal!"
Stratos nodded silently.

"And to show my pride in the lot o' yeah! Here's a consolidation prize!"

With all the pirates of Jones defeated, the group took control of the ship and sailed towards the shore.
Once the group had reached the isle where all the major players were hunting for Sparrow. A suave man with s 6 foot tall man with short brown hair approached them with a pistol in his hands.
"Oh marvelous.. more pirates." He cocked his pistol and aimed it at the group. "Okay I don't have all day, so I'll make this quick. He reached into his back pocket. He revealed a wanted posted of Jack Sparrow. "Show of hands, whose seen this guy?"

 

[/color ]It seemed that Aux found a way to break them out of the cages and chains. Through the conversation though, Aux, then Karina seemed to figure out what Leo was doing. Illusions are powerful when someone believes in them, but easy enough to overcome when you don't. Karina was able to stand tall again as Aux and Leo went back and forth, ending with a challenge of her and Kel about their strength. "Yes I am, but at least I don't hide behind illusions. I can at least face it now." Karina stated. Physically weak, she was not but she knew that there was a lot that she had to run through in her mind and in that aspect she was weak. She still feared her father and his judgement and she was still lost, but now she could admit it at least. "Weak or not I am strong enough to face you." Karina faked charging forward, stopping her attack half way to send a small blast of fire at him instead. ​

 

The man chuckled as he put away his firearm. "Davy Jones? Now I know you guys are on the rum..." He turned his head to survey the island. "But I don't think you'd give me a false lead without caus... Name's Balthier. Pleasure," he said with a two finger salute. "You could say I'm somewhat of a... bounty hunter. And Mr. Sparrow has quite the lump sum on his head. If you wanna get a piece of the action I could give you all oh say...10,000 munny each." He eyed each of the four of them , trying to get a read on who they were or where they came from. "But just to ensure you yourselves aren't on the run, I'll need some clarity. State your name and purpose here..." his eyes fell onto Steel for a moment, as he tilted his head in thought. "Are uhh.. are you some kinda sub-species of the Nu mou?... Not exactly Viera, but... I've seen stranger." He kept trying to think to himself, further inspecting steel.

----------------------------------------------

From where Castur had defeated Scroop, a new person had stepped into view.
"A most impressive defeat by a very capable key wielder..." From in the shadows, a tall, bony man in extravagant black and red garments appeared. He held a a gold, ruby-eyed, cobra headed staff tightly in his hand while he stroked his very thin beard with the other. He sauntered over towards Castur as he looked up at the distant scroop. "But I shouldn't be so intrusive without first introducing myself... My name is Jafar.. Vizier to the sultan in a far off world called Agrabah." He clasped both hands over his cobra staff as he grinned. "I've arrived from my own accord to offer an employment opportunity... Tell me... Have you ever heard of.. Kingdom Hearts?"

Meanwhile with Leo...​

Leo stepped back and caused his keyblade to crystalize with Ice magic, pushing away Karina's fire.
He gritted his teeth, seeing how little fun this was for him now. He wanted to flaunt his new skill and ability over his former allies, but they were shoving him off.
"Typical... you may be strong. But your so called mentality is flawed..." he replied with a twitch in his eye.
"Only flaw I see here is you!" Aux called back.
Zulu made a squealing sound of joy. "He hee.... At least I'm aware of the dishonesty in my group. But you... You don't see the clear traitor in your own midst..."
Aux sighed. "Y'know if one more person tries to manipulate me, I'll show you just how mad I can get."
"Hehe... you weren't the one I was referring to..."
Aux's eyebrows furrowed, changing expression.
"While I don't know who they are, they've helped my mistress greatly. And I hope he will continue to do so..." He laughed more before watching Leo open a dark corridor and step through.

 

​

Castur had turned to find his way back to the others when a voice spoke to him. A slow low tone beckoned to him and caused him to turn to look at the sudden appearance of a lanky man with an impressive goatee. The man's gaunt face, his black and red color scheme, the all too smooth way of speaking, and the cobra-themed staff he held gave off a particular vibe. But, to be fair, Castur had seen uglier heroes before. "Jafar...Agrabah...hm... Well, Jafar, you seem to know your way around the worlds." Castur held up his keyblade. "And you know what this is." He called off the blade. If Jafar wanted a fight he doubted that they would be talking right now.

"The name's Castur and yes, I know what Kingdom Hearts is. Though if you're looking for a sellsword my rates are pretty high." He mused, thinking back to when Lea brought him into the Black Coats and got him into this mess in the first place. "Just what does a vizier from a far off world want with a keyblade wielder like me?"

 

"Oh can we stop with this crap already? No matter how many times I hear about it, it won't make us turn on each other. When the traitor comes out we will deal with them then. Until that point they can't be too helpful, lets face it. We are never together and nothing ever goes as planned." Like how this was unplanned, and the entire underwater adventure and the whale were all unplanned. She couldn't see how leaked information will help when there was so many unknowns. "So why don't you take your illusions and idle threats and shove off Leo." Karina stated trying to brush Leo off again. ​
