Kingdom Hearts: The Alternative Paths

[Akans]

Sylfae dragged herself back into the End of the World. Her master awaited her there. No words were exchanged, but she could feel his disappointment and anger. She sighed and collapsed on the ground, or what remained of it, and fell asleep.
She desperately hoped that Sleif didn't find out she was defeated by Derick.

OOC: I'm good for the next few days. Have fun guys.

As Sleif looked down at Tora, he noticed coming from the side of the statue, Draco. "Whew, now to find the entrance!" he heard him say, after defeating the heartless.
"I wouldn't count yourself safe yet!" Sleif said down to Draco, as he still sat upon the statues arm.

"I wouldn't count yourself safe yet!" a voice said to Draco from up above. Looking up, Draco saw Sleif sitting on the arm of the statue. "Oh Sleif, not you too! I mean come on, you rescue me, then all of a sudden you are the big macho villian, how does that make sense?" Draco said complaining.

Double post, sorry, stupid computer is playing up

[sephiroth2]

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

"I don't remember saying I was ever on your sides!" Sleif said back to Draco. "And as for saving you before! Think of it as a one time!" With that, Sleif stood up atop of the arm, before disappearing in a swirl of darkness.
A moment later, Sleif walked out of the darkness, facing both Draco and Tora, at the base of the statue.

[Dragonstar1715]

"Close friends betraying me in some way, story of my life" Draco said, "I don't want trouble I just want to seal the keyhole, and get the hell out of this world, because honest to say, I don't want to live the rest of my life in this desert wasteland" he added.

"And just know that the feeling of betrayal will follow you to the grave" Draco finished as he stared at the friend he once had, but now, just like everyone he had seen tainted by the darkness, is now his bitter enemy.

[sephiroth2]

OOC: Just to say, Sleif and Draco never really knew each other. Sleif isn't from Destiny Islands like the others.

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

"And just know that the feeling of betrayal will follow you to the grave" said Draco. "You first!" replied Sleif, as he raised his arm out straight. "Appear, and bring nothingness, Void!" with that, an extremely large black and white spiked keyblade, appeared in Sleifs hand as he said it.

Raising his other hand towards the entrance of the statue, a slight glimmer of a barrier showed itself, before Sleif started to slowly walk towards Draco, spinning his blade and slicing the ground as he went.

[Shadows Fall]

Derick fingers twitched slightly after it almost seemed that he had an untimely death due to the level three Hurricane spell courtesy of Sylfae. He lifted his head up in a slow manner, his vision becoming a massive blur as pain shifted and surged through out his entire body. Hell, he didn't even have a clue if he had been defeated or if he had beaten Sylfae in the battle. His arms were cut up severely as well as his body, his shirt had been torn and tattered with dirt from the debris, the lenses from his goggles were also cracked. The boy was a complete wreck at this point as he tried to so hard to reach for the Messer Ultimatum that was a mere few feet away from where he laid. However, it was no use as his arm had given out on its own.

"Damn you, Sylfae. . ." the Keybearer stammered, blood dripping and trailing down his lips, the droplets splattering onto the concrete. "I - I swear. . . you're going to get it the worse the next time we encounter one another. . ." Derick couldn't help but feel nothing but anger and hatred towards Sylfae who was now the enemy rather than an ally. He vowed to leave her in the same condition she had left him the next time the two were to battle, making a mental note so he wouldn't forget. Now there was nothing more he could do now but only hope that Draco and Tora manage to arrive at the Statue of Liberty and finally seal the keyhole.

[Dragonstar1715]

Draco saw Sleif appear in front of him with a demonic looking keyblade, and he started to slice and cut the air and ground as he approached Draco. "Neat little trick, but I have a little trick I can do with my blade as well" Draco said as he focused power in his blade. The end of his blade began to move a bit before it slithered out and an endless chain following out of it.

It extended to a length so that the blade was now a whip of sorts. "Like it? My dad showed me this technique a long time ago" Draco said as he stood there with his whip in one hand and drawing a pistol with the other.

[sephiroth2]

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

"Like it? My dad showed me this technique a long time ago" Draco said as he held the chain in one hand, while holding a pistol in the other.
"I can see that his is going to be interesting!" Sleif said, a slight grin appearing on his face, as he stretched his free hand away from him, summoning up a small group of Neo-Shadows.

"Oh don't worry! They won't attack you! I have something far worse in store with them!" said Sleif. Suddenly the heartless spontaneously erupted into dark mists, before coming together into a sort of black pool on the ground.

From the pool, a handle started to rise, followed by a blade, all completely made of darkness. Grasping the handle, Sleif withdrew the blade from the pool, now brandishing his demon keyblade, as well as his new long katana sword.

"I think that makes it even now!" Sleif said, as he held both weapons easily in his hands.

[Dragonstar1715]

Draco saw the blade and said "Hmm, don't you think you can alternate a bit, I mean two blades are a bit dull aren't they? Nevertheless I can see you are ready" Draco said. Draco whistled a strange tune and the chain burrowed itself underground, switching to his assault rifle in one hand, he began firing a barrage of bullets in Sleif's direction.

Carefully studying Sleif's evasion tactics, Draco whistled his tune again and his blade's chain erupted from the ground and made an attempt to attack Sleif before burying itself in the ground again.

[sephiroth2]

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

Sleif watched as the Draco fired the barrage of bullets from his rifle, in his direction, as the chain burrowed deep into the ground.
As the bullets approached, Sleif raised and deflected most of them with his keyblade, but was not able to stop them all, and so he leaped into the air, at the exact moment the chain erupted from the ground, missing him.

Flying through the air, Sleif landed upon a broken part of the statue, watching as the chain returned into the ground. A slight grin appeared on Sleifs face, as he leaped into the air again, wielding his two blades.
Swinging both, each of the weapons launched a large powerful wave of energy.

The black sword fired a wave of darkness, while the keyblade's wave was of some sort of energy. As the waves collided with the ground before Draco, the keyblade's wave caused a large part of the ground to violently erupt, while the dark wave, after it collided with the ground, created a dark tear were Neo-Shadows began to appear.

After that, Sleif landed back onto the ground, launching another powerful wave of energy from his keyblade at Draco.

[Dragonstar1715]

Draco watched as Sleif launched two energy waves at him. Draco quickly leapt to the side as the waves hit the ground, one left a large cut in the earth and the other caused a line of Neoshadows to appear. "Clever..." Draco said as he called his whip back to length, Draco then whipped it around in the air a few times before whipping at the Neoshadows, causing several to disappear in a whip of smoke.

Sleif then launched another energy wave at him, Draco saw a wall behind him and ran for it. Running up the wall, he jumped off just before the wave hit the wall, destroying it. In the air he called his whip back and swapped for his burst handguns, focusing power, Draco yelled "Meteor Shower!". Firing several charged bullets which turned into beams of light, they began rushing at the neoshadows.

Which a loud explosion, a lot of dust was whipped up. Watching the dust clear, he saw the rest had been destroyed. "Whew, that was a nice workout" Draco said as he took a bottle of water out of his bag and had a big drink of it.

[sephiroth2]

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

"Whew, that was a nice workout" Draco said, as he took out and drank from a bottle of water. "Now you should know, it isn't that simple!" Sleif said as he pointed to the large craters made from the meteor shower.
In them, darkness started to rise up, before many yellow eyes had begun to appear.

A moment later, many more Neo-Shadows rose from the pools of darkness, and had formed a ring around Draco.
"I think I'll try this one!" Sleif said, as he looked briefly down at his two blades. In rapid succession, Sleif first launched another blast of energy from his keyblade, before firing a dark wave from his sword.

The energy blast, traveled along the ground towards Draco, carving a long trench in the ground. From behind it, the dark wave traveled via the trench, spreading it's darkness into the cracks, merging with the small amounts of energy left behind in it's wake.

Suddenly, large dark tentacles, started erupting from the ground, moving as fast and as close to Draco, as the waves were.
"I hope you will like, what lies beneath the surface!" Sleif said to Draco, as the attacks and creatures, quickly approached him.

[Dragonstar1715]

Draco watched as Sleif started to carve craters in the ground and then summoned two tentacle like monsters to attack him with the inclusion of the neoshadows. "Awww come on, now that's no way to fight!" Draco said as he pulled his shotgun out.

"Watch your feet!" Draco said as his shotgun charged up, "Terra Force!" Draco yelled as he fired into the ground. Hundreds of earth spikes then erupted from the ground around him to destroy dozens of neoshadows. He then pulled them from the ground telepathically and use them to hit the rest of the neoshadows to one location in the air.

Clicking his fingers, the spikes then moved in for the kill and they skewered the rest of the neoshadows. Then in a final attack, Draco brang his hands together which made the spikes combine into one large rock which hurtled towards the ground at the tentacles.
