"Watch out!" Rem shouted as she quickly threw her weapon directly towards Xehanort, preventing him from easily knocking Tiga out of the fight.

Sora and Al both charge in at Xehanort and try to land a hit by attacking from two different sides only for the Keyblade Master to swiftly block away both attacks at once.

"Is that all you got?" The old Keyblade Master said as he pushed back Sora and Al, disappointed by what he's dealing with considering the numbers are on Sora's side.

The Keyblade Wielder looked at the old Keyblade Master for a moment before charging at him once again.

As the two keyblades clashed, Louis and Rem both took this chance to attack the old man on his back side, hoping to land a hit.

Xehanort smiled as he pushed Sora back once again before turning around to block Louis and Rem's close range attacks.

"Die!"

The two girls said this in unison as they began to throw a barrage of attacks on the old keyblade master, wanting to eliminate him for slightly similar reasons. Rem still wishes to make Xehanort pay for what he did to Sora not just a year ago but throughout most of her love's previous journeys.

Louis on the other hand wants to keep Sora safe, the person that has given her the chance to experience true happiness. Xehanort was a bit impressed by Rem's skills, seeing that she's improved since their last confrontation though it isn't enough to defeat him.

He waited for the right moment before attacking the two girls only for both Al and Tiga to jump in and protect Louis and Rem from his attack. This surprised him for a moment before noticing Sora preparing to use magic on him.

'Hm. Clever.'

He jumped away from Rem and the others as he turned towards Sora that was floating on the air for a bit has he prepared to use mega flare. Xehanort waited until his opponent with the keyblade fired the powerful fireball in order to see what he should use to counter.

Seeing that it was a fire based attack, he moved his hand towards Sora while firing a powerful ice based attack. As the ice attack was an equivalent to Sora's mega flare, it had actually caused the powerful fire based attack to explode prematurely.

As this happened, Xehanort took the chance to teleport right behind the keyblade wielder. Sora sensed this and quickly turned towards his back side, barely having enough time to see the old Keyblade Master's attack in order to react to it.

He blocks the attack with all of his strength, barely managing to have a blade lock with him. Xehanort gives the boy a look as if he's analyzing him before speaking his mind in a calm gesture,

"You have yet to use your full strength."

"What are you—?" Before he could even ask his question, Xehanort easily broke the blade lock before landing a hit on the boy's stomach, sending him flying a few feet away.

"There's a greater power within you, something I'm looking for but you've yet to tap into that potential."

As the old keyblade master said this, Al and Tiga both took this opportunity to attack from two separate directions, trying to catch him off guard.

Xehanort noticed this yet he was both unfazed by this attack as well as not even paying attention to the pair.

He continued to speak towards the boy chosen by the keyblade,

"You have the power to change this world, Sora. To make it go right bac to the very beginning, and yet you refuse to use that power."

"I...I will never use my power for evil."
