Chapter 29 Ventus vs Vanitas X-Blade shatters

While Aqua was fought Ventu-Vanitas. Ventus was in his own fight. A fight for control in his own heart. Ventus and Vanitas clashed. "Come join with me. The X-Blade must be forged." Vanitas said. Ventus refused to join. "I've got a better idea. How about destroy you both." He had said when they meet only seconds ago.

Vanitas pushed Ventus back. Landing on his stomach with a grunt. "Ventus? Is this the best you got?" Vanitas asked. Ventus pushed himself up. Then something touched his hand. "What?!" "Don't give up, it's not you."

Ventus was shocked to see. "Az-Azura?" She smiled at him. Her hand intertwined with his own. Her body was outlined in light golden glow. "How did you get here? I stuck you down!" She fixed her green eyes on Vanitas. "You did.. but I managed this one last trick." Then Azura looked at Ventus.

"I don't have much time left." Azura soberly stated. "What do you mean?" He asked. Her body began to glow brighter. "My light in my heart is fading fast." Her eyes sadden a bit. "Then let me help you." Azura shook her head. Then took both of his hands in her own.

"Ventus. You must win this for everyone." Az said. "Please protect what's left use it- use it and win." Ventus watched as light snaked around him and then the Keyblade he held. Azura began to fade. "Az wait.." She smiled at him.

Leaning in swift kiss to him. Ventus blinked shock... even Vanitas was in awe, as he looked at so called 'brother' and his new girlfriend. Some strange reason Ventus' heart ached. 'Is this it?'

Azura steps back—"Remember who you are, who you are fighting for. That's where true strength will rise from." As the last of her light faded. "Take care my dear, until we meet again."

Ventus body glowed then died. Azura was gone. The keyblade pulsed with new energy. "Foolish girl. She thinks she can help you. Comical." "Shut up!" Ventus snapped. The fire returning full force. "You'll pay for hurting her and any of my other friends." Ven said. 'Don't worry Az- I won't forget. I won't let you down.'

In the graveyard the young girl's body body glowed in a light as a corridor engulfed her and The shimmering of a dying light was all that remains of her.

"You still think you can take me down?" Vanitas asked. "Yeah." Vanitas laughed. "Your an idiot. Like I said before, you'll destroy your own heart in the proses." Vanitas repeated.

"And like I said. Whatever it take." Ven said. "Anything for my friends." He added. "Anything to save Terra, Aqua and Azura too."

"Hmph" was Vanitas reply to this. "It's always about your friends,isn't it?" "At least I have some!" Ven shouted. He felt the strength inside grow while the light Az gave strengths. 'That's what you were trying to do.' He quickly understood. 'Thanks for the reminder.'

"I've become apart of their hearts as they have become a part of mine. My friends are my power and I am theirs!" He shouted. "We'll see about that!" He said then ran at Ventus.

"Show me anguish!" He tried to strike. Ventus does and rolled away. "FIRGA!" He casted the spells at Vanitas. Ventus had renewed his power, for fighting now he wasn't going to let it go this time.

The two clashed. "Dodge thins." Vanitas casted a LIGHTING type spell at Ventus.

The young keyblade wielder jump back REFLECTRA! He blocked the attack with a swift uppercut, knocking the spell back.. hitting Vanitas.

Taking the moment he raced at Vanitas. "It's over." He leapt with swift swing of his blade came down on the X-Blade. Last minute Vanitas used to guard but a huge burst of light erupted from Ven's blade.

Both boys glowed as the X-Blade shattered. Ven just smiled and closed his eyes accepting his fate.
