Chapter 14B: There's An End In Friend

*Third Person POV*

Hell.

That was the only word Y/n could think of for what was happening.

Keyblade wielders were clashing on all sides, surrounding him in a mosh of fighting, clashing metal, and pounding boots. It was complete Hell.

He had already been forced to fight off most of the Foretellers, and even more of his fellow wielders.

Invi and Gula had been defeated easily, the three way duel ending in Y/n's favor.

Aced, the leader of Ursus had been a little harder. His aggressive and powerful attacks would've knocked Y/n out in one, had it not been fore Y/n's speed advantage. Y/n won by using Aced's weight against him, throwing him into the crowd of fighters.

Ira, the leader of the Unicornis union, was the most skilled fighter he had ever fought. Y/n had only managed to win by wearing down the master, going fully onto the defense.

However Y/n had won, and had taken refuge in the center of the fighting. It was much like the eye of a storm, a small section of peace in a sea of chaos.

Despite his best wishes that when he opened his eyes he'd be back in bed, surrounded by his friends, Y/n opened his eyes to see the battle continued to rage on.

Suddenly, there was a flash of pink in his vision. It disappeared into the crowd, reappearing only a few feet away. It was coming closer and closer, disappearing and reappearing in the chaotic crowd.

It was beginning to rain. Y/n could feel the rainwater soaking into his hair, as the ground became wet with mud. Y/n kept his eyes shifting through the crowd, leaning on his keyblade and breathing heavily.

Suddenly, Ava burst from the crowd, her keyblade hanging in her grip loosely. Her jacket was ripped and her breathing was labored. Y/n could tell she had been fighting a lot, and when they locked eyes Y/n could tell what was going to happen.

"Why Ava?" He asked, "What happened to the Dandelions? To not fighting?"

Ava responded with silence, diverting her eyes. She held her keyblade tightly and charged forward, trying to stab at Y/n's chest. Y/n spun his keyblade skillfully, knocking Ava's keyblade aside. Her momentum carried her forward as Y/n dodged to the side and tripped her into the mud.

"Why did you do this, Ava?" Y/n demanded, "Hundreds, thousands will die tonight. On your orders."

Ava leapt up with a roar and sliced horizontally and Y/n. When he slid backwards and dodged, she sliced again, repeating herself a few more times. When she realized her efforts were futile, she fired a ball of fire at Y/n.

The ball struck Y/n unexpectedly, sending him flying backwards. He landed in the mud, staining his jacket brown. He pushed himself up, patting out the fire that still burned on his shoulder.

"In the end, Ava," Y/n said, his breathing labored, "This...All of this... is your fault. Your failure of leadership... your failure of friendship... your abandonment of the light..."

He picked his keyblade up out of the mud, and began running towards Ava.

"All your fault!"

He leapt into the air, intending to bring down his keyblade and finish the fight. Ava couldn't muster the strength to look up and meet her demise, only hold herself up by her keyblade.

Y/n bore down on Ava, coming closer and closer. His keyblade swung through the air with a violent swoosh, raindrops falling onto Y/n's back and head.
