Kingdom Hearts: From No One to Someone

vs Ras Al-Gul

The Ras Al-Gul lunged at him with blinding speeds, covering itself in the flaming spiral once again. Roxas managed to block it with his Keyblades, but the sheer force of the attack pushed him back and dug his heals into the dirt.

It continued on for a minute before the Nobody pushed the mutated Heartless back and it flew towards the ground.

However it sunk into the ground and reappeared on the wall. It once again lunged at Roxas, it's claws ablaze.

However he just sidestepped the attack and pointed both Keyblades at it.

"Water!" Roxas casted as he launched to streams of water at the Heartless causing it to once agains crash into the wall, this time with steam coming off it. Roxas gave the Heartless no quarter as he rushed over towards it and began to wail at it.

However after a few hits the Neoshadows emerged and pulled the Nobody off of Ras Al-Gul, only to vanished into the ground as the mutated Novashadow drilled into Roxas, sending him crashing into the ground.

He groaned as he composed himself.

This Ras Al-Gul was definitely stronger then a regular Novashadow and much faster too, but if he was correct it must've had the same defense as well.

Roxas didn't have much time to process that as he picked himself off the ground and dodged the Heartless emerging from behind him and tried to claw at him. He put some distance between himself and the Heartless, but it lit its claws on fire and began to toss a volley of small fireballs at him.

Roxas dodged them all and when the Ras Al-Gul ran out of fire balls, Roxas trainee Oathkeeper on it.

"Aerora!" Roxas casted, sending a massive wind lace at the Heartless, staggering it.

So it seemed like it still retained the same weakness as before, that would work. All he needed was for the Heartless to attack one more time.

He got his answer when the Ras Al-Gul disappeared into the ground. It reappeared and lobbed a fireball at him. Roxas took the hit and blocked the rest of them.

There wasn't enough power in the fireballs to damage him too much as the main problem laid with how many of them there were. But it was more then enough to push him to the barest settings of his Limit.

The mutated Novashadow stopped throwing fireballs and decided to drill into the Nobody once again. Only for its attack to be broken with a blade of light. It didn't even have time to retreat back into the ground he continued on until the Heartless was on its last legs.

Then two Neoshadows pounced him and sent the Nobody onto the ground, breaking his Limit Break.

When he got up the two Neoshadows disappeared into the ground, and he was astonished by what he saw.

The Ras Al-Gul had one of the Neoshadows by its neck and immediately set it ablaze. The smaller Heartless struggled in its grip for a moment before going limp. It burst into darkness and flames that were immediately absorbed into the crystal in the Ras Al-Gul's chest.

The heat suddenly got a little more intense and a red aura appeared around the mutated Heartless.

It was at that moment that Roxas figured out the true strength behind the Ras Al-Gul.

Well it was certainly powerful in it's own right on it's own, it's most powerful ability seemed to be what makes it a monster among its own kind.

It absorbs Heartless into itself to heal itself and make itself stronger, just like the Leechgrave.

It was the only reason why all the Heartless that it had created before it was sealed vanished. Either it had absorbed them or they had left to the Realm of Darkness just to get away from this one in particular.
