Kingdom Hearts: Light within the ink

Chapter 5: Closing ink

Ventus and Boris continued to run, both trying to escape Vanitas yet the evil keyblade wielder was right on their tail.

The two reach the end of the hallway, prompting Ventus to quickly turn around and get into a fighting pose while telling Boris,

"Go, I'll cover you!"

"..."

Boris was silent as he didn't want Ventus to be on his own, facing this threat that is neither an ink creature or a heartless.

As Vanitas closed the distance, he swung his keyblade and clashed onto Ventus's keyblade.

As the two were on a blade lock, Ventus was giving it his all to be on equal footing with the evil keyblade wielder though Vanitas was somehow having the upper hand in the blade clash.

"What do you think you can do? Without your friends, you are nothing."

"They are still with me, Vanitas! We are still connected!"

"Hahaha! We shall see!"

Vanitas pushed his opponent back before continuing his swing attacks towards Ventus, forcing him on the defense.

As Ventus was using everything he had to block away Vanitas's attacks, Boris remained on the sidelines and could only watch as his friend was being cornered.

This made Boris eventually take action by looking around to see what he could use, prompting him to go towards the right hallway to investigate if there's something he can find to assist Ventus in his fight.

While he left the battlefield, Vanitas caught this which prompted him to say:

"Seems like your new friend has abandoned you, brother."

"..."

Ventus had noticed Boris heading off, not really thinking anything negative of it but as the only way to keep him out of danger.

"As long as he's safe, that's all that matters!"

As he shouted this, he continued to block away Vanitas's attacks until the evil keyblade wielder managed to disarm him with a swift attack that caught Ventus off guard.

As Ventus attempted to re-summon his keyblade, Vanitas pointed his right towards his chest area while being a few inches away.

"Now, let us join bodies once again, brother."

"Never!"

Before either keyblade wielder could act, a sudden chair hit the back of Vanitas's head which distracted him long enough for Ventus to hit away Vanitas's keyblade before throwing a barrage of his own attacks.

This pushed Vanitas back enough to force him to summon some unversed to back him up.

The moment he did this, a few ink creatures also popped out of nowhere and started attacking everyone.

Boris was cornered by these ink creatures as they were rapidly approaching him, ready to attack him.

Ventus saw this and quickly threw his keyblade directly at a few of the ink creatures, managing to give Boris an opening to make a run for it.

As this happened, Ventus quickly jumped away from the attacks thrown towards him by Vanitas.

The evil keyblade wielder pointed his keyblade right towards his opponent's direction before firing three fireballs at once.

Ventus was able to avoid one of them with a dodge before avoiding the two others by jumping back.

As he jumped, he noticed Vanitas already sending a follow up attack with another set of fireballs though these were colored dark purple rather than the usual color.
