The Keyblade War Chapter I

Chapter Nineteen: Rise Of Darkness

Kairi stands at the castle entrance, still wondering what the strange feeling she has might mean. She looks towards the horizon and sees the beautiful garden filled with roses, violets, forget me nots, and many other flowers. She smiles as she feels the refreshing fragrance of the flowers, and she heads towards the garden.

Kairi: Such a delightful smell. It almost makes me forget about all the sorrow and all the evils of the world. If only the war would end soon... Oh Sora, I miss you so much. I'm not the same without you. Hehe, but I know that you're safe, I know that you'll always return to me.

Then she suddenly feels a strange aura, an ominous presence looming over Radiant Garden like a creeping fog. Then she looks up to the sky and sees dark clouds gathering.

Kairi: Dark clouds...could this all have to do with that strange feeling that I'm having? Either way, I have to warn everyone in town.

She then summons her Keyblade, Destiny's Embrace, and she runs quickly towards town. As she runs, Heartless and Unborn appear, and she kills them off one by one.

Kairi: I don't have time for you, back off! Radiant Wings!

When she utters those words, two beautiful crystal wings appear on Kairi's back, and she uses the light of her wings to kill the Heartless in midair.

Kairi: Wings of light, save your strength!

And with that, her crystal wings disappear in thin air. She then uses Time Splicer to dispatch the Unborn. She is successful in killing her foes, but more and more of them appear with each one that is killed.

Kairi: There's no end to them!

And in the blink of an eye, numerous Berserker Nobodies appear and kill all the Heartless and Unborn.

Kairi: Nobodies? Helping me?

She looks at the Nobodies surprised at the sight of Nobodies killing both Heartless and Unborn. At first she thinks that she's imagining it, but then she realizes that it's not her imagination, as Dexeres and Riku come running to Kairi's aid.

Riku: Kairi, are you allright?

Kairi: Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine!

Dexeres: Let's finish them off!

Together, they drive off the Heartless and Unborn. They fight with all their might, and give their all to the battle. Riku dispatches the Unborn in Dark Mode, while Kairi's Keyblade morphs into a summoner's staff, and she casts rays of light at the Heartless. Dexeres takes the lead with his Nobody soldiers, as he charges with one of the Berserker's right into one of the Heartless's commanders. Then Kairi summons Bahamut.

Kairi: Bahamut, aid us, lend us your strength!

When she says these words, a giant circle surrounds Kairi, and pillars of light surround her. In a few seconds, Bahamut materializes and it's eyes are a bright flaming blue. The Bahamut helps to turn the tide of the battle.
