Slater awoke, inside of the bunkers. He was on a bunk bed. He had bandages all over him, and he was extremely sore. Aqua was looking at him. "Slater, you're okay." She smiled. "We sense some darkness in the great maw, but the higher up's haven't returned yet, we havent gotten any feedback. We need you to check it out." "I WAS ALMOST KILLED TODAY! NOW YOU WANT ME TO RISK MYSELF AGAIN?" He yelled. "Aqua's expression turned sad. "You're right, I'm a Keyblade Master, I'll handle it myself.." That made Slater very depressed. Leon handed Aqua a camera. "But this on your shoulder, we'll be able to see what you see from this monitor." He pointed over to Cid, on his huge computer.
She unlocked the secret entrance, and was off. There was an earpiece in her ear so we could hear her, and she could hear us. Slater looked over at the monitor from his bunk. Aqua was encountering many Heartless, but these were bigger than the shadows. "Neo shadows!" Yuffie shrieked. "I know, it's not good.." The ground shook. pebbles were falling from the ceiling, and dirt and dust. "Aqua, can you hear us?" Cid asked. "Loud and clear." She replied. Cloud was watching intently.
"Cid! Darkness is surrounding the higher ups!" The ground was darkness, tension was rising. The man with the silver hair was standing in the center, the higher ups keyblades swirling around him. "You!" She said. He turned around. Aqua ran towards the man. They clashed Keyblade and long sword. They were full on fighting. Orbs flew and closed towards Aqua. She barriered the attack, it wouldn't last long. He was omving so fats, skiddling around her like crazy, swinging that huge sword. "Sephiroth!" Cloud said. "Slater!" Aqua grunted as she got hit. "Curaga!" Her wounds healed. "I need you to come hear, you have a 50% darkness resistance!" She kept clashing. Seeing all the higher ups on the floor freaked him out. He was having a whirlwind of emotions, watching them die, or were they even dead... He weakly summoned the Lost Memories. He thought of Sora. "Cure." His wounds healed. "Woah!" His cuts were healed, but not bruises and soreness. "Good job." Leon said. "Slater, if were gonna go up there, it will have to be me and you!"
He grabbed Slater, who was still trying to put on his tan jeans and uniform jacket, considering he was a higher up now. "Hey, i'm still in my underwear!" Slater yelled. Cloud dropped him, as he landed on the concrete floor. "Oww.." He put on his clothers, and unlocked the secret entrance. "You'll have to keep up." Cloud said. Cloud sprinted towards the great maw, as the ground was still rumbling. Slater jumped up, and glided. His glide was faster than before, almost like it had leveled up. He darted towards Cloud.
He held his arm out, his keyblade was resting on his back. He was going faster than Cloud. "What?" He said. "It's that huge buster sword, dude!" Slater darted off into the distance.
They arrived at the great maw. A magnet of darkness was sucking the 10 higher ups into the ground. "Sarah!" He looked at one of the higher ups. "Jackson.. Sierra, Alex.." Those were the ones he could name, at least. Aqua was there still fighting, but losing.. "Here!" Slater dodge rolled in. "Reflega!" A bigger reftlect started to form, protecting them. Orbs of blue came out of it, damaging Sephiroth. Cloud came through the top, slashing Sephiroth. They were fighting now, clashing, running up walls, sparks flying.Sephiroth ran up a wall. Cloud tried to, but it was too high. He fell. Slater tried now. He ran up it, and they were dueling on the wal, clashing, but Slater had some speeed. He forced Sephiroth off, and bursted a huge explosion of clear light when Sephiroth was pounded on the ground.
"Strike Raid!" Slater yelled. The two others knew what to do. Cloud charged up his buster sword, as Slater was throwing his keyblade at Sepphiroth, and it was coming back so he could repeat it. Aqua charged her Shotlock, and was Slashing through Sephiroth with ice.Cloud charged through the middle, and was slicing Sephiroth, untill he burst into light. A keychain dropped to the ground. It was a weird medallion. It summoned into a Keyblade, that looked like Cloud's sword. "Hey, what do ya know? We have matching weapons!" Slater exclaimed. Aqua was panting. "I have to teach you shotlock commands." She started to laugh.
They were walking to the bunker, carrying the damaged student's. "What's wrong with them?" Slater asked. "The darkness, that's what. "Hopefuly it hasn't messed up their heart." Their eyes had lost color, like they were broken, had he ever looked like that?
