Riku rushed through the sand, seeing the world change in appearance up ahead. It was more rocky and jagged... it had to be there. He pushed his feet faster... every second Sora could be in danger. With how fast the Roxas look alike was and how strong Terra was... Sora would have one hell of a time fighting them together.
He finally came to a cliff, looking down. And what he saw was horrible. There was a split in the ground and Sora almost falling into it.
"SORA!"
His body shook in anger as he looked around. Looks like he'll have to do this. He suddenly jumped off the tall cliff, pushing his body forward and quickly got his footing on the cliff wall. He ran down it, like when he ran down the building when he and Roxas had their fight... only this time it was more jagged.
Ven looked up as he heard the cry. He grinned. "Looks like lover boy found us."
He looked across the way at Sora. "Sora! Give up the fucking keyblade and this little game will be over! You can go home and have a nice wedding with no one's shittin face smashed in!"
Ven usually never gave people three chances to give it up... but... Sora was his brother right?

"Riku!" Sora cried, hearing the cry as well. he pulled his feet together, quickening his glide. But then he noticed something in front of him - like looking through a bubble or a dragonfly's wing. Soemthing there but not really. The barrier Terra had set up... He held aloft his keyblade, and with a cry, smashed his keyblade towards it. Like throwing a stone in water the barrier rippled, trangular symbols skating across it eventually dieing when it reached an ultimatieum.
Cursing, he floated there, gravity bring him down until his feet touched the ground gently. He turned hearing Ven;s cry. His eyes narrowed. "Like hell!" he snapped. He wasn;t going to lose the keyblade! he had to protect his friends with it... he had too many promises in his heart he didn;t dare break them. He glanced back at Riku, knwoing his lvoer now realized they were seperated, before falling into a stance.
Terra sighed, then smirked. such an idiot. "Well that;s it Ven. three striks your out. Ready?"

Riku finally touched base at the bottom of the cliff and rushed across to Sora's aid. "Sora!" He stopped though, only feet away from the barrier. He watched as Sora smashed at it but only a ripple ran through it. No. He was trapped!
His keyblade started to glow dark purple and black. He held it up and slashed down with all his might. The wing of his keyblade stuck inside of the barrier and was able to rip it, the power of Darkness breaking the shield... but the moment he pulled away, the barrier zipped up again.
Riku's eyes widened as he watched. Damnit! He had to do something!
He thought quickly, thinking of all the majick that Mickey had taught him. THAT'S IT!
The keyblade disappeared as he held his hands out towards the shield. "DISPEL!"
Nothing happened. His arms fell in defeat. If a dispel majick didn't work... nothing would.
Ven watched Riku behind Sora do everything he could to get past th barrier. Only problem was that when Terra learned majick... he learned it very well... and with his strength, it was hard for any dispel to work.
"Alright... that was the last time I'm asking you. If you wanna give it up at any point, please feel free to Sora." His eyes then darkened as he got into stance. "Pity your lover will watch you die."

Sora glanced back at Riku, watching his efforts as they proved futile in breaking the barrier. He bowed his head. If riku couldn;t break it... So he really was stuck.
His head snapped around at Ven;s words, and he scowled. "who;'s dying?!" he stetched into a stance. "Bring it on!" He was going to show the BOTH of them that he was still the fucking keyblade master and he was not one to mess with.
Two on one - big damn deal. He;d fought elements like wind and earth before, if he remembered how he had fought Xaldin and Lexeaus he'd be fine. He surveyed both of them quietly. Both had weapons that hit hard and had one that cut deep.
He'd have to be careful...
Terra smirked at Ven's words, glad he was sounding like his normal self. He grinned excitedly - they were fighting the master - ha some master. They were going to kick his ass. He licked his lips swinging his mallet behind his head in a relaxed loking position, hands bracing the hilt against his neck. It was his stance believe it or not.
Sora tilted his head, glancing at Riku through the bubble he was in, offering him a reassuring smile. I'll be fine. he transmitted through the smile. The muslces in his legs tensed as he turned back to face them. His feet made the ground fly up as he charged the two head on, keyblade at his side, covering the distance quickly.

Riku growled as the keyblade appeared again. He saw Sora's and the Roxas's lips moving... but he couldn't hear a damn thing. Damnit! He hated being helpless. There had to be a way to get rid of this barrier... but how?
Ven grinned as he got the response he was waiting for. This was all getting recorded, believe it or not. Ven wanted to prove to Aqua that they indeed asked for the keyblade peacefully. It was now Sora's choice.
When Sora started to dash towards them, a powerful wind started to brew in front of Ven. The sharp pieces of broken ground started to get blown up and into the small tornado like air. Ven suddenly whipped his keyblade, making the wind blew fiercly at the other keyblader, the jagged pieces pointing at him.

Terra watched languided, almost relaxing backwards, before he tipped forward, rushing across the field around Ven;s wide attack.
Sora's progress stopped pretty quickly as the harsh winds blew at him, making his feet slide. He grit his teeth, seeing the pieces of earth as they lfited and shot for him, as dangerous as daggers.
He cursaed. his moves were too sluggish in the wind to get away effectively - he was in troubl-
wait a second!
Magic began to flow across his fingertips. "WIND!" he cried, harsh winds of his own swirling around him like a mini-hurricance, gray in coloring and sparking with energy. His wind and Ven;s collided harshly, the winds screeching and sparking against one another. The pieces of ground was still coming for him though.
Sora spun the keyblade, yellow sparks dancing across it then with a large, arc like sweeo, he cried, "Thundaga!" The lightning cut through the wind burning at it on impact. the pwoer alone was enough to slam through the pieces of rock, dislocating them from Ven's wind and lodging them into ground ot even turning them into dust completely.
Terra, who had seperated from Ven, running across the battlefield to get closer to Sora, scoffed in fury. so this brat wanted to play a magic game did he? Purple energy sparking on his free fingertips and made a whirling motion. "Sandstorm..."
Sora yelped, the ground under his feet suddenly feeling like sand, and his whole form was forced to spin as his legs sunk underneath it.
"Break." He hissed, snapping his fingers. Sora;s Aero spell broke away and Ven's violent winds were let in, combining with his own attack. The forces combined and harsh sand and wind swirling like a tornado around Sora, the dusty lifted up, completely hiding Sora from sight.
Sora shieled his face as the sand blew around him, unable to see a thing. he felt the little pebbles of the sand scratching at his bear skin. His legs were still caught, unable to be freed.

Ven watched the display, seeing the other's powerful majick. defense... sure was an easy thing to do... and you didn't need much brain to do it.
He watched the sandstorm cut Sora out of his little game and grinned.
Sora was completely blind... but Ven could see as clear as day.
Outside, Riku could only watch, his anger building inside of him. When the sandstorm arose, he could no longer see his lover. His hands pressed up against the barrier. "SORA!!!"
He knew that if he couldn't hear the other... the other wouldn't be able to hear him... but...
Now that Sora was blind, Ven rushed at him, his keyblade ready to strike. He jumped and slashed down towards the one looking away.

Terra chuckled glancing towards Riku who was looking panicked, before seeing Ven run straight within the storm. He held his mallet aloft and ran in as well - not needed to see because now he could feel were Sora was, the vibrations of his body transferring through the ground, acting like some sort of sixth sense to him.
Sora struggled, lodged the keyblade into some of the rough ground near by, using all of his upper body strength to pull him out. He grunted, muscles straining. The wind was roaring in his ears, making it impossible to hear. Two of his senses were blind, leaving him utterly defenseless.
A hard blade across the back made him scream in pain, his whole body flying forward before hitting ground, rolling over and over. he groaned, finally going to a stop, struggling to his feet. He saw something coming at him through squinted eyes. he rasied his blade weakly, the pain in his back hindering his strength, feeling the power like a hammer smacking against his blade. the blow sent him backwards into the ground. The first attack, though he didn;t know it had been Ven. The second was Terra.He breathed, rolling over quickly, instinvely, hearing the muffled nosie of something heavy crashing into the ground were he just had lain.

Aero Maxim caught clothing, then flesh. A rip right down the back. When Sora fell flat, the keyblade hit the place where Sora had lain but Sora had rolled away. He was about to dash toward him again but the boy went flying at the hit of a mallet.
Riku was still outside, trying his best to find Sora in the dome of dust. No such luck. However, when Sora was cut in the back, the pain went through Riku and then another. Sora was losing in there!
He growled. There was no way he could let these pricks hurt Sora anymore... or at least not cheat and do it.
The anger inside of him built and built, making his beautiful aquamarine eyes gold. Darkness started to circle his body. He didn't want to resort to this... but there was no other way. Slowly, the Darkness seeped into the ground and quickly rushed to where Sora was. It circled him as he laid on the floor, taking only a little bit of energy from him.
Sora had the other half of Riku's soul... and he needed the power to do his next move. Slowly the red planet around them grew dark, the sky became clouded. Twilight soon fell upon the dome.
Ven stopped as everything started to get dark. He looked around, noticing that it was no longer day. How the hell?? He quickly looked up, seeing the twilit sky and the clouds. Suddenly... his eyes went into fear. The clouds started to break open... and a blue Kingdom Hearts shown down on them. The Darkness...
A huge black being appeared behind Riku again as his golden eyes turned wild. The Shadow Guardian's large hands wrapped around Riku's feet soon pulled up and smashed at the barrier with a huge roar.
It shattered like fine glass.
Far away, Dale looked around at the twilight. "Oh gosh! What's goin on!?" He yelled as he jumped up and down.

Sora panted trying to struggle to his feet, afraid he would be attacked again if he didn;t start moving right now! He froze though when darkness suddenly wrapped around him. he wasn;t afraid of it though - it was comforting and familar. Riku... The darkness made him shiver even though it felt warm, much like a fever.
He felt it snap at some of his energy resereves. what was riku... doing?
Terra was about to continue forward when he noticed the same darkness that had suddenly fallen between them. Fear thrummed through his ehart but it was not his own. his head shot a glance to Ven, before noticing his wide-eyed gaze. He loked up gasping sharply, his own fear mounting.
There was a sound of something loud and powerful banging into the barrier - it even sounded like glass when it shattered, the magic uslessly disapating.
The wind and sand was let free, blowing everywhere - and with both Ven and Terra preoccupied, their spells were broken. The sand and dust settled to the ground, the winds stopped whipping and all three were revealed to Riku's crazed eyes.
Sora coughed in relief, struggled to get to his feet, blood running down his back. dirt and dust and grime clung in the edges of the wound, inflaming it worse. He clenched his fist, furious. He could feel his half-soul inside flaring in reponse to Riku's.

Ven was speechless as he heard the loud roar and the shattering of the barrier, like if it was made out of thin glass when it was once so powerfully strong. He backed away, staring at the monster behind the incoming silverette.
His eyes widened more as he saw the golden crazed look in his eyes.
God... this was bringing back such horrible memories...
Once the barrier was completely gone, Riku started to walk towards the three, the Shadow Guardian over his back like a 3d... shadow. His hair wiped around as the wind settled. The twilight glow of Kingdom Hearts shown down on him as his keyblade reappeared in a dark aura.
He looked scary... and pissed.
He noted Sora's banged up look... but couldn't use Heal in this form. This form knew no white majick... but there was something he could do. "Relect!" A shield covered Sora quickly. "Drain!" The large Guardian pushed out one of its huge hands towards Sora, draining Sora's power. However, since he now had reflect, the majick backfired and energy from Riku was drained into Sora, healing the wound.

Terra grit his teeth, feeling Ven;s fear overwelming his own. He was fucking terrified. Terra hurried to his friendl;s side, standing in front of him protectively as riku approached.
The golden eyes set him on edge. what the hell...
"Ri?" Sora asked as the two spells were cast almiost simutaneasouly. His eyes shut suddenly, feeling the magic swirling around him, the cut in his back healing quickly. He took a deep breath rolling his shoulder, finding it much easier to move then smiled at the other. "thanks." His hand tightened on the keyblade, his eyes narrowed as he turned towards Terra and Ven. It was even now.
"fuck." Terra hissed.

Ven continued to step back until he saw Terra come in front of him in a protective way. He looked at the back of him and blinked. Terra...
Riku continued to walk towards them, feeling the Darkness inch its way closer and closer to his heart. That was enough. Riku grasped his Keyblade and slammed it down into the ground. All the Darkness poured into the blade, the Guardian becoming a blade smoke as it too went through his arms. A huge swarm of darkness spilled out like a pool. Suddenly, the dark energy ball flew up from it and started storming down on Terra and Ven.
The little amount of Darkness around Sora too faded and rushed to the rest of the power.
The balls slammed down towards two. Ven quickly dodged the first air born, being as quick as possible but he was soon hit, making him fly into the air and across the ground violently. He growled as he quickly scampered to his feet and dodged a few more. It was certain now... they needed to get of Riku first.

The darkness chasing them forced thw two apart. Terra cursed violently, zigzagging across the ground, as fast as possible. then he heard Ven's cry and his ehad turned ssharply in the direction of the noise. Darkness exploded at his feet and against his back and with a yell he went flipping, smacking into the ground hard.
He groaned but was on his feet in an instant, dodging foreward nw, his eyes on Riku. His mallet was held tightly in his fists. He was going to murder him!
Unfortunetly for Terra he had forgotten that Sora was still a working force in this battle - a working, healed force.
Sora watched Terra as he got closer, dodging the black energy with ease. He yanked his arm back, then shot it forward, letting the keyblade fly.
Terra heard some sort of... whistling, like the wind but something was weighing it down. His head turned and widened but it was too late. Ultima slammed into him with a great force and he wernt flying with a sharp cry. His weapon flipped in the air, landing out of his reach.

"TERRA!" The blonde cried as he saw the keyblade heading towards him. It was too late though. His eyes darkened as he watched his friend fall.... but something clicked his him mine.
As quickly as possible, he dashed for the flying keyblade on its way back to its owner. It was fast but he had to try. Wind blew at his feet, making him a little bit faster than normal. He quickly reached for Ultima, but missed it by an inch. DAMNIT! He growled as he watched it go back into Sora's hand.
Now with Riku... Sora would never give it up.
The cry of his friend made him look back, gasping to see what was going on.
Riku was now hovering over the black hair man. His keyblade against his chest. He had pinned Terra down, his golden eyes glowing.
"One press further, and this goes into your heart. You're already heartless... I can easily make you become a real one."
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" The blonde rushed at Riku, the wind blowing hard again around him. Riku's hair flapped in the wind but stood his ground until Ven literally plowed into him. Riku fell back and quickly met Ven's keyblade with his own. He growled as they swung a few times at each other.
Riku needed to get them away from Sora... at least so they could do a one on one again. He quickly jumped back and turned, running off towards the cliff again. Ven growled as watched the other man run extremely fast. He quickly threw his keyblade to the floor again and jumped on it. He soared after the other, right on his heels. Riku quickly jumped onto the side of the cliff and started racing up it.
Ven followed close in pursuit. Terra had used his barrier majick already and couldn't use it again... now it was Ven's turn. His eyes were dark as they raced straight up the cliff towards the twilit Kingdom Hearts. Under this twilight, Riku was unbeatable...
Riku finally reached the top and dug his feet into the ground and he twisted around, quickly getting Ven's keyblade striking down at him.
