(Yes Aria, it might help if you read Final Destiny. If you do read it, just be forewarned that it it VERY cheesey.)
Chapter 5
Roxas stood next to Rixa’s keyblade, watching the necklace at the end of it sway in the wind. A raindrop spattered next to the corner of his eye, and he looked up to the sky. The raindrop rolled down his cheek like a tear, and Roxas wiped it away with his finger. The rain turned from a drizzle to a downpour quickly, but he didn’t move. He took a hold of the necklace, a saddened look clouding his eyes.
“I can’t believe I let this happen to you, Rixa,” he whispered.
Roxas heard footsteps behind him and he turned his head to look over his shoulder. He saw Sora emerge from behind the rock corridor, soaking wet from the rain yet his hair still remained spiky. Roxas turned his head away and growled, “Go away, Sora.”
He heard the footsteps stop, and then continue on slowly.
“They were planning a rescue when I left,” Sora lied. “So let’s go back and help.”
Roxas whirled around and summoned his keyblade, now black instead of silver, and pointed it at Sora. “You don’t think that I can’t tell when my Somebody is lying to me?” he hissed. Sora backed up, raising his hands in a peaceful motion.
“I want to help,” he pressed. “Your emotions are getting out of control, and affecting everybody around you, especially me.”
“You really think that I care about you right now?” Roxas exclaimed. He threw his keyblade at Sora, who blocked it with his arms and summoned his own keyblade, Oathkeeper. Roxas leaped up into the air and grabbed his keyblade. He landed on one knee and his head down to the ground, keyblade in his outstretched right hand. He looked up once and attacked Sora, who ducked underneath Roxas’s arm and rolled away. He stood in a fighting position on one side of the cliff while Roxas stood on the other, circling each other.
“I don’t want to fight you Roxas,” Sora called out. “We can figure this out without tearing each other to shreds. Just… put away your keyblade.”
Roxas ignored his words and lunged forward. Sora did the same, and as they met in the middle, their keyblades clashed, sending a shower of sparks onto the wet ground. Roxas glared at his other self and pushed him away with his keyblade, making him fly into the air. Sora fell back down to the ground with his keyblade aimed straight for Roxas. But Roxas did a back flip to get out of the way, straightening up just as Sora came at him again. He slid across the ground until Sora backed him up against the wall. With his back to the wall and Sora’s keyblade pressed up against his throat, Roxas couldn’t do anything.
“I wasn’t going to do this,” Sora growled. “But you leave me no choice.”
With his keyblade, Sora kept Roxas pinned to the wall while he backed up and held out his other hand. A blue-ish glow emitted from his palm, and it built up to form a fiery sphere. Dark whisps soon joined the blue, and then Sora let it go. It collided with Roxas’s chest in a flash, and when it disappeared, Roxas was on the ground, unconscious.
Sora sighed and made his keyblade disappear before walking over to where the blonde teenager lay and picking him up. He looked down and noticed that there was a thin, pink line of a nearly-healed scar running down the side of Roxas’s cheek, and another on his forehead, running through his eyebrow and the corner of his eye. A new gash was on the side of his neck that looked like it was self-inflected. Sora was clouded with guilt when he saw what damage had already been done to Roxas, but he just sighed and walked to Merlin’s house.
