Kingdom Hearts Ultima

"Split up? With everything going on you want to split up?" Johnny sighed but then smacked Yale in the head. "That's the last thing that comes to mind! What we need to do is finish here before anything bad happens to us and then get going somewhere else. And besides if we split and one group takes the ship, how does the other follow? The group that stays would be trapped here until you came back!" Johnny was frustrated at the turn of events. First Heartless, then some strange guys, then Destiny faints and now all this; it was all a little much for the teen. "Splitting up is out of the question so I say the first thing we do is get to a safer area. Out here in the open is the exact opposite of safe."

 

"I'm with Johnny here." Tom spoke. "So I'm gonna go find a safe area, sit down, and think about what's going on. You all are welcome to follow me. And I would advise that you do." Tom started walking away from the group. "Things are getting too complicated." He began thinking. "When did all of this happen. Just yesterday, I was at home. I could sleep on the beach whenever I wanted. Life was peaceful. But now, we're being chased like prisoners. We're going to different worlds, which conveniently have bad people on them. Did we piss off some higher power or something?"

 

Johnny started to follow Tom when Tim spoke. He would've said something but then Destiny stood up.

"So this is what you and Hikaru have become?"

"Hikaru? Uh Destiny? Who's Hikaru? And another thing, can we get moving before evil finds us? After all, they are searching for us." Johnny looked around but then grabbed her shoulder and spun her to face him. "Destiny, we're targets now, you and Tom most of all. We can't stay out in the open and speak nonsense. We've got to keep moving."

A shrill laugh echoed throughout the world. It was from behind the group and Yale turned around to see a man with darkness flowing around his body like a flowing robe. He had battle scars around his arms and his face looked clawed. The man looked at Johnny with a sneer.
"You're too late"
He revealed a knife and before anyone could react, he stabbed it through Yale's chest. The agent fell down onto his knees.
"You are a useless fool. You cannot face any type of darkness. Not even a heartless. What an embarassment"
The man kicked him in the face, flipping him over to his back. Yale's face went pale and his energy faded away. His eyes were closing and he was panting for air. His ribcage was not functioning. The darkness from the man drifted towards Yale, engulfing him.

 

(I hope this doesn't mess anything up, Dawn. If so, I'll delete it. I'm making a reference to Another Kingdom Hearts Story. Dawn said that Tim and Jim were available to use as I remember so I hope its okay.)

The man grinned.
"My name is Xaiten"
He suddenly zoomed upto Tim and held him by his throat, clutching it tightly.
"I want to make you suffer"
He looked at Tim's face as he choked him. His eyes were frightened and full of worry.
"He is too young for fighting the darkness. It really is too bad, he'll perish very soon"
Yale got up to his feet and charged at the new enemy, blade in hand but as he was about to attack, Xaiten pulsed him away like a fly.
"For now, goodbye to you all"
The two evaporated out of their sight. Darkness was the only thing left. It was a cloud of black with lightning bolting from within it. The dark cloud started to grow. Yale looked at where they disappeared with a tear down his cheek. He failed again and now it involved a 12-year-old boy.
"I have to save him. Its my fault..." he told them with a fist thudded to the ground. Anger started to engulf his emotions, as he threw the keyblade to one side.

Xaiten and Tim were in a long room with cubicles. What were inside the cubicles were children, the same age as Tim but as the child looked away to witness his surroundings, Xaiten plunged his hand inside the boy's heart and took it from his body.
"You are now a nobody, Ximx just like me. How does it feel like?"
Before answering, Ximx fell to the ground and closed his eyes, feeling his memories and emotions fade away. His appearance started to morph into a boy with a change of clothes, blood red hair and yellow leopard like eyes. His facial features also changed. Xaiten crouched down next to his ear.
"And you know the best thing about this, Ximx? They believe that you are dead"
He threw the body into the cubicle, next to his brother, Mijx.

 

Kaoru slightly looked away, deep pain filling his eyes. "I didn't become like this by choice...if only you knew what happened to Hikaru...." he clutched his fists tightly

Aaron pulled out his sword as it sung with power. "There's a secret underground passage not to far from here...it can lead you inside the castle without being notied. Follow this light and it'll show you the way!" he reached for his lower pocket to release a small glowing sphere, glowing a deep red.

The small light whizzed around before spinning around Destiny
"This should take you there...Take that guy (Yale) and get going! I'll hold them off" He stepped forward as he focused on the enemy in front of him.

"Tim!!!" Kaoru yelled as he watched his old friend vanish into darkness.
Kaoru quickly jumped off the second level as he began to chant under his breath, light forming at his palm
"Darkness that extinguishes Light and Light that destroys Darkness...Take me to where the Darkness resides!" Kaoru chanted as the light grew stronger and stronger as it began to form a circle around Kaoru

"I'll get Tim back for you...I promise!" he yelled before his spirit traveled with the light and his body fell unconscious
Aaron quickly grabbed Kaoru's body and gently rested it on the ground
"He's alive...his spirit just left his body...lets pray he can find them.." Aaron called out...hoping that Kaoru would be able to help the boy that was taken
- - - - -
Kaoru found himself in a strange room filled with cubicles. His body glowed bright with light as he called forth his staff to see the man who claimed himself as 'Xaiten', holding a heart in his hands

Magic began to surge at his hand. He stretched out his arm and then pulled it back hard as the heart was pulled towards Kaoru. He caught it gently and placed a ward of light around it.
"Got it! Hey you! Where did you take Tim?! Tell me now before I force you to!" he slightly smirked but turned serious in an instant.

 

"Well well,wasn't that rather rude of him?Showing up and not acting like a proper boss!" A voice,Seth's,rang out before he himself appeared from the shadows of a building."I must say it disappoints me.Not only that,he took my pinata!" He shouted at the sky,a dark aura appearing around him.A second later he looked at the heroes,smiling,his aura gone in an instant."But he left me the other children to play with!Plus whoever you are." Seth said in a dismisive tone towards Aaron.

"Now then,I believe it is time I give you the boss fight you've been dying for!Hope you been grinding!"Seth shouted,his weapon appearing in his right hand in a reverse grip,charging at Tom.

 

Aaron ran in front of Tom as he stood his ground. As Seth approached him Aaron kicked his foot in the air churning up dust, blinding him. He kicked Seth in the stomach hard as he jumped back

"I'll be your opponent! Get out of here while you can!" Aaron yelled at the heros as he prepared for a second attack, he won't fall for the same trick twice

Xaiten glared at the boy and dashed towards Kaoru in great speed. He rammed Kaoru, making him fall over and Xaiten grabbed the heart. He then made it disappear.
"Now you don't know where it is. I think its time for another to become a nobody. As for Tim, I don't think you will find him"
He injected his hand inside of Kaoru but as he did so, he was repelled by the light inside of him. He was sent flying backwards and hit a cubicle behind him, making it crack. Angry, he unsheathed his sword with his scarred hand (from the light blast).
"It looks like I will have to do this the old fashioned way"
Xaiten charged forwards like a bull seeing red.

Hikaru sat in the throne room, sitting on the throne with pride. As heartless appeared in the chamber, almost flooding it.
"Go my heartless! Search this entire castle for the villagers...! Bring all of them here and those who resist...dispose of them!" Hikaru ordered them as the heartless scattered like mice, following their orders.
"Kaoru better be here soon...."
- - - -
Kaoru spun his staff around in a spiral waiting for the perfect moment. As Xaiten charged at tremendous speed he spun to the left, dodging in a single second, he focused light to his staff and slammed it on the neck area, shocks of light travelling through his body.

He regained his footing instantly as he jumped back, watching both Xaiten and Master Xehanort
"I'm only King Kaoru when I'm with my brother...And I'm not leaving until I get that heart back! Just try to take my heart...I'm not going to give up until I save Tim!!!" He took one more step back as he watched them carefully, seeing who was going to strike first. His light grew brighter with his determination.

"I told Destiny...that I'd bring him back to her...and I plan to keep that promise! Tim isn't that weak...he's strong and there's people who'd mourn if he died...Tim was...one of my friends at the islands...and I plan to rescue him!" Kaoru clutched his staff tightly as he prepared for a second attack

 

Seth pondered for a minute on whether to go after the child heores or not,using his weapon and a little magic to blow away the dust and ready to guard another attack.He grinned when he came to a decision."Well,since we have a volunteer,I just cant say no can I!Those kids still need to level anyways."He said before charging Aaron,then he was behind him."Hope you can step up!" He shouted as he launched a kick at Aaron's back.At the same time a shield of hexagons circled a small area,trapping Aaron with him and keeping others out.

 

Taking the blow Aaron rotated around, skimming his foot along the ground causing Seth to lose balance. Aaron regained his footing as he stabbed his sword towards Seth but he rolled out of the way and quickly stood up.

"Not bad...you handle a sword well...you have my praise. But I'm not going to go down so easily myself" Aaron smirked, going into a defensive stance.

In his head Aaron had already thought of a battle strategy and what his next move was and how to defend himself. He placed one hand behind his back as he dropped a small drop of liquid onto the ground before both hands held onto the handle of the sword.

 

"What the hell is going on?!" Johnny yelled as they left. Even more stuff started happening that was angering him. Yale being stabbed then healed, Tim being taken, and now a fight broke out right next to them. Johnny had reached his breaking point and wanted to his something. He made his keyblade appear in his hand and kept a look out of their surroundings. If a single thing came near and attacked them, Johnny was going to go ballistic on it.

 

Buzz off! He'll get out there...maybe." Seth said with a wicked smile before standing up."Well then,you say Im good,huh?Well then,thank you!" He said with with his eyes closed,actually sounding sincere."But,we have only just begun!" He shouted before moving his arms in front of him,then to his sides.A dark blast of aura came out of him,causing a crater to form below him and pushing back Aaron slightly."Well,gotta keep this short now,you got an appointment to keep!Wont keep ya too long."He said before pointing his blade at Aaron,dark energy collecting in the space at the blades edges."Bang!" Seth shouted,the energy shooting out of his blade like a gunshot.

 

When they warped Johnny put his keyblade away. "Destiny, put away your keyblade. It's a dead give-a-way that your the Ultima twins." Johnny whispered. He knew they were in trouble now. Many had tried and failed to get rid of this Hikaru, and they all had experience. How were they going to do it? "Merlin, is there anything you can do to help us out? We want to get rid of Hikaru but we're not ready yet, there's no way we can do it right now."
