Chapter 99: The Light from the Past
At the Keyblade Graveyard, we see Vali and Arkham on a rock hill watching the massive battle. Lady was with them, but she was completely tied up. Her hands were tied behind her back, with more rope around her body to bind her arms to her sides, her ankles were tied together and she had a thick cloth over her mouth.
Vali: So, Sora used the Power of Waking to bring the Guardians back.
Arkham: Indeed. Perhaps we should give them something special to increase the difficulty.
Vali: And what do you suggest, Arkham?
Arkham: A high demon. And I know just the one.
*with the group*
Happy grabbed Natsu and the two of them flew towards the Demon Tide.
Natsu: I'll burn this guy just like I did before! Fire Dragon Roar!
Natsu's breath attack managed to burn some of the Shadows, but not all of them.
Gray: Save some for the rest of us!
Gajeel: Quit hogging all the action, Salamander!
Gray: Ice-Make: Lance!
Gajeel: Iron Dragon Lance: Demon Logs!
Both attacks did some damage to the Tide, but it was still standing. Sora then charged towards the Tide and jumped into the air.
Sora fired a cluster of energy shots at the Tide, while Donald then fired fireworks at it as well. Both attacks caused large explosions. The Tide then emerges from the explosion and charges towards its attackers.
Goofy then appeared in front of the Tide and blocked the attack with his shield. Some of the Shadows bounced off of the shield and into the air.
Lucy: (changed into her Sagittarius Mode) Open, Gate of the Archer: Sagittarius!
Sagittarius: (appears in golden light) Understood, mi lady!
Sagittarius fired multiple arrows at the Flying Shadows.
Lucy: Star Shot!
Lucy fired multiple arrows at the other Shadows, but the Shadows quickly gathered again to form the Tide once more.
Juvia: Water Whip!
Juvia whips some of the Shadows while the Tide flew right passed her and Laxus unleashed his lightning magic.
Ur: Ice-Make: Cerberus!
Ur created an ice replica of Drake's three-pronged-nunchuck, which she swung to unleash a torrent of ice at the Tide.
Trish was able to leap upward and slash with the Devil Sword Sparda, charged with her lightning-powers, to send a wave of electricity to destroy some of the Shadows.
Drake: Agni! Rudra!
Drake equipped both his red and blue swords as he brought them together to create an X made of fire and wind in front of the Tide while Kat wields Revenant and shot at him in close range.
Meanwhile, the other Earthland wizards are fighting against the monster hoard with the other Guardians.
Macao: Purple Rain!
Wakaba: Smoke Crush!
Romeo: Rainbow Fire!
Macao, Wakaba, and Romeo combined their attacks and defeated many Darkballs flying towards them. But multiple Satyr came charging directly at them.
Reedus: Pict Magic: Nature, Run Wild!
Nab: Bear the Knuckle!
Reedus summoned multiple rainbow boars at the Satyr and they crashed into each other while Nab punched several Satyrs.
Laki: Wood-Make: Violent Approach!
Laki created a wooden spiked ball and threw them at some Pogo Shovels while Vijeeter kicked away some Marionettes.
Romeo: Thanks, guys.
Nab: (Macao and Wakaba) You guys really are old.
Macao: Hey, we still got some power left.
Wakaba: Yeah, don't question us!
Laki: I wonder if we'll see blood on these monsters!
Vijeeter: (points at the sky) I hate to point out, but...
Tons of Vaporflies are driving towards them.
Alzack: Guns Magic: Spark Shot!
Bisca: Magic Double Machine Guns!
Immediately, all of the Vaporflies were shot down in a large explosion. Alzack and Bisca were standing behind.
Alzack: Now who's slow.
Bisca: No time for small talk. We have wrangled up some cattle!
In another part of the battlefield, Warren and Max are surrounded by dozens of Puffballs. Warren was holding his Magic Radar tablet.
Warren: There are a lot of them. But I think they can be defeated easily.
Max: That's all I needed to hear. Sand Rebellion!
All of the Puffballs were immediately defeated by Max's attack. Suddenly, Warren and Max disappeared as a giant fist landed on their previous location. Warren and Max then landed near Mest, who was a bit far away from their previous location.
Warren: Thanks, man.
Mest: Here it comes!
The Guard Armor charging towards them.
Quatro Cerberus members: Let's get wild!
The Quatro Cerberus Guild members charged towards the armor.
Goldmine: Show them what our guild is made of!
Bacchus: With pleasure!
Bacchus punched the chest part of the armor while Rocker used his spin attack to send the armor flying. Warcry used his Tear Magic to rust the Guard Armor while Jager, Nobarly, and Semmes took out its arms and legs. Bacchus then jumped towards the Armor's head and kicked it hard, causing it to disappear.
Bacchus: That's how we do it!
Quatro Cerberus members: Wild!
Wally: Polygon Attack: 32 Frames Per Second!
Wally split his body apart in a series of blocks that spread in all directions across the Gambler Nobodies before they all shot at it in rapid succession. Unable to block the attacks, the Gambler were blown apart as Wally reassembled himself and adjusted his hat with a smirk.
Meanwhile, the Blue Pegasus guild was fighting against several Wayward Wardrobes.
Hibiki: Never met a Heartless with the same style as us.
Ren: I rather not want to talk about it.
Sherry: Same here.
Ichiya: Everyone, regardless of what it looks like, we must defeat it!
Blue Pegasus: Yes sir!
Ren: Aerial Shot!
Sherry: Marionette Attack: Rock Doll!
Ren shot several small rocks that levitated by his magic at the Wardrobes and Sherry crushed them with her Rock Doll.
Hibiki: Overload!
Hibiki summoned magical screens at the Heartlesses and they all exploded.
Eve: Blizzard!
Eve buried the Heartlesses in his snow while Jenny transformed into her Battle Suit and blew them all away with a single punch.
Ichiya: Power Perfume: Smiling Smash!
Ichiya transformed into his muscle form and defeated the rest of the Wardrobes.
Ichiya: (poses) Man.
In another area, Arana trapped several Reapers in her web while Beth fired her carrot missiles at them.
Arana: Excellent.
Just then, Ninjas surrounded them.
Beth: How did they get here so quickly?
Millianna: Secret Weapon: Scratch Attack!
Using her claws, Millianna attacks the Ninjas, leaving scratch marks on their bodies, while Risley kicks them away.
Arana: Thanks.
Risley: We can't get distracted!
Millianna: We'll deal with the fast ones!
Ooba: (spinning two Dusks) You monster ruined our world. I'll spin you!
Sho ran towards the Besrker Nobody, ducking underneath the claymore-strike, while also sliding underneath its legs to quickly get behind.
Sho: Card Magic: Queen of Ice!
He threw three queen cards to strike at the Bersker's back, causing it to freeze solid before Sho threw out a solid kick, shattering the whole thing with one strike.
Yuka: Wave!
Yuka put up his wave shield when a Sniper attacked him. Toby then charged towards the Sniper.
Toby: Paralysis Claw: Mega Jellyfish!
Toby attacked the Sniper with his claws, defeating it.
Yuka: How long will monsters keep appearing?
Toby: (angry) All monsters drop dead!
Elsewhere on the battlefield...
Jellal: Meteor!
Jellal assaulted multiple Unverses with his Meteor attack. Sawyer also joined with Jellal and he kicked away some more Unverses using his Slow Magic.
Meredy: Maguilty Sodom!
Meredy attacked some Scrappers with magical blades while Richard uses his Earth Magic to sink some Bruisers into the ground.
Erik: Poison Dragon Twin Fang!
Macbeth: Invisible Scythe!
Erik and Macbeth combined their attacks and they knocked away some Spiked Turtletoads.
Erik: These guys are way easier to defeat than the Alvarez Empire army.
Macbeth: Yes, but there's still so many of them. It's like they're trying to drain us in order to finish us off with an even more powerful attack.
Jellal: (came up to them) Just keep attacking them with weak attacks. Maybe some allies will come.
In another area, Soldiers were charging towards Kairi. She took notice of this and faced them. Kairi fired a golden ball of light at the Soldiers and they were immediately burned upon impact.
While Kairi was distracted, Axe Flappers were flying towards her. However, Lea sent a giant fireball at the Axe Flappers, destroying them.
Kairi: Thanks, Axel.
Lea: Don't sweat it. We're in a war zone. Need to protect our comrades.
Lyon: Couldn't agree with you more.
Lyon came up to them with along with Mirajane (in her Satan Soul form), and Lisanna (in her cat form).
Mirajane: We all thought you were goners. We were gonna kill all of the Organization members.
Lisanna: But it doesn't look like it!
Makarov: (walking toward them with Kinana) You kids better be done talking!
Kinana: More incoming!
Several Neoshadows were crawling towards them.
Lea: We know.
Lyon: Ice-Make: Snow Tiger!
Mirajane: Darkness Stream!
Makarov: Purge the Darkness with a Rain of Light!
Kinana: Poison Aroma!
Lyon, Mirajane, Makarov, and Kinana fired their respective spells at the Neoshadows while Lisanna attacked them directly with her cat claws.
Elfman: Man!
Lisanna noticed Elfman attacking some of the Neoshadows in his Beast Soul form.
Elfman: You monsters aren't even manly enough to face me!
Gildarts: That's the way to do it!
Gildarts and Cana ran up to Elfman. He then noticed some Large Bodies coming after them.
Gildarts: Ready for them?
Cana: Yup!
Gildarts: All Crush!
Cana: Card Magic: Jolt of Fate!
Gildarts pushed all of the Large Bodies back while Cana attacked them with her card magic which electrocuted them.
Gildarts: Nice work, kiddo.
Canna: Not too shabby, old man.
Elsewhere, the Thunder Legion and Shadow Gear were fighting against the Trinity Armor. The armor was firing a laser at them, but both teams were protected thanks to Freed's enchantments.
Freed: It's strong in one piece...
Levy: But once it separates, two attack one limb!
Others: Got it!
Once the armor stopped firing the laser, it immediately broke apart into the head, arms, and legs.
Jet: Falcon Heaven Sword!
Droy: Knuckle Plant!
Bickslow: Barrion Formation!
Evergreen: Fairy Bomb: Gremlin!
Freed: Dark Ecriture: Destruction!
Not far from Sora, Aqua, Erza, Kagura, and Minerva are surrounded by Dual Blades and Stalwart Blades.
Minerva: There are many more monsters here. We can defeat them. But if this keeps up, how will we fight the Organization members?
Kagura: Yes, this is really frustrating. Xehanort's Heartless was incredibly strong when he attacked Radiant Garden.
Aqua: We just need to push forward. We have enough elixirs for everyone.
Erza: Right! That Tide is blocking our path and Sora and the others are facing it. We need to hurry and back them up.
Minerva: Territory Explosion!
Kagura: Slicing Form!
Erza: Sonic Claw!
All three of them and Aqua combined their attacks and defeated the Dual Blades and Stalwart Blades. They then noticed some explosions near them.
Aqua: (worried) That's where Ven is!
Minerva: Don't worry.
Kagura: Your friend is fine.
Erza: (puts her hand on Aqua's shoulder) Trust Fairy Tail and your friend.
Aqua: Right...
Near the girls, Ventus was fighting alongside Wendy, Carla, Modeus, and Sherria against some Archravens.
Wendy: Sky Dragon Wing Attack!
Sherria: Sky God Boreas!
Both wind attacks manage to blow all of the Archravens away But then, Glidewinders and Sorcerer Nobodies appear behind them.
Modeus: Demon Sword: Phantom Moon!
With a swing of both his blades, he sent several crescent-moon projectiles at several Sorcerer.
Ventus: Wind Raid!
Ventus threw his Keyblade like a boomerang at the Unverses and destroyed some of them.
Carla: White Moon!
Charle managed to get the rest of the Unverses
Sherria: Thanks Ven! And you too, Carla, Modeus!
Modeus: Of course.
Carla: Just be careful.
Ventus: You guys okay to continue?
Wendy: Yeah!
Near Wendy's group...
Sting: Holy Ray!
Rouge: Shadow Ray!
Sting and Rogue combined their attacks and damaged an Iron Imprisoner IV. Orga and Rufus then ran towards it.
Orga: Lightning God Charged Particle Cannon!
Rufus: Memory-Make: Night of Shooting Stars!
Orga fired a large amount of black lightning while Rufus fired multiple beams of golden light at the monster. The combined attacks defeated it, but many Reapers came flying towards them. Dobengal attacked them using a rainbow whip while Yukino had Pisces devour them.
Sorano: Punching Angel!
Sorano summoned a gargantuan-sized angel with a muscular mass and it crashed into the Reapers.
Mickey: We'll finish them off!
Mickey and Riku charged towards the rest of the Reapers. Mickey and Riku rush towards while both performing a wide horizontal slash, followed by both performing a wide vertical slash, with Mickey attacking with light and Riku attacking with darkness.
Sting: Cool! That's just like our attacks!
Riku: Thanks. (noticed the Tide flying around the battlefield) I wonder how the others are dealing with the Shadows.
Back at the Tide, the others were becoming a little exhausted while the Tide continued to fly around.
Happy: How many Shadows are in that thing?!
Panther Lily: Enough to wear us down.
The Tide then dove towards Gray.
Sora: Look out!
Sora ran in front of Gray and blocked the Tide with his Keyblade, but the force was so strong it sent him flying.
Everyone: Sora!
Suddenly, Sora was caught by an unknown figure.
???: You alright, kid?
Sora opened his eyes and saw a giant green monster with fangs carrying him, it was Wolfheim.
Sora: Ah! Another monster!
Wolfheim: How rude! I just saved your life and this is the thanks I get?!
???: Relax Wolfheim.
Sora and Wolfheim landed and Sora saw the rest of the Ten Wizard Saints in front of them. The others were shocked.
Juvia: The Ten Wizard Saints!
Natsu: Jura!
Happy: Warrod!
Jura: Natsu.
Warrod: We made it!
Bruni: Just in time.
Aurora: Sorry we're late.
Matier: So those are the Heartless.
Gandelina: I sensed darkness around all of those monsters.
Draculos: Are you the chosen wielder of the Keyblade known as Sora?
Sora: (scared) Y-Yes sir.
Kurenai: Don't worry about him, Sora. My name is Kurenai, I'm Mermaid Heel's Master and the leader of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Draculos: My name is Draculos Hyberion The man who saved you is Wolfheim and the others are Jura, Warrod, Bruni, Aurora, Gandelina, and Matier. We are members of the Magic Council.
Sora: Really?! That's wonderful! Sorry for dragging you into this mess.
Kurenai: No need to doubt yourself. We should be thanking you.
Jura: Those monsters would still attack our lands if you haven't shown up. You provide us with information on how to defeat them.
Warrod: We want to repay you by fighting alongside you. An old friend of mine would agree as well.
Wolfheim: We can't lose against these monsters. We already lost to God Serena, I'll be ashamed if we lost against these monsters.
Draculos handed a blue sphere to Sora.
Sora: What's this?
Draculos: It's a special lacrima we made for this war. Use it wisely.
Sora: Okay!
The Tide dove straight towards them again.
Jura: Iron Rock Wall!
Large rock formations came up from the ground and the Tide crashed into them, causing a lot of Shadows to be defeated.
Bruni unsheathes his sword and unleashes a large amount of flames which took shape and physical form, one that resembled a living tiger.
The flaming tiger strikes the Tide, burning the some Nobodies to ashes. Wolfheim then gave a battle cry and started attacking some Heartless in his beast form.
Aurora unleashes a beam of light from her hand which obliterated the Unversed while Gandelina casted spiritual energy balls at them.
Draculos paralyzed many monsters around him with his Vampiric Magic, allowing Warrod to stab through them with his vines.
Kurenai then unleashes a massive wave of water that washed away many monsters that got caught by it.
The Saints then went off to assist the others on the battlefield.
Sora: So strong... (looked around the battlefield) But there are still so many of them...
That's when Sora remembered the item Yen Sid gave him before the start of his journey.
Yen Sid: That is a Heartbinder. Think of this as a good-luck charm made just for you. You have a gift, Sora, for connecting with others, and this makes that gift stronger.
Sora then pulled out the Heartbinder.
Sora: (lifted the Heartbinder into the air) Please help us!
A bright light came from the object and suddenly tons of colorful animals came bursting out from the light.
Gajeel: What the hell are those things?
Jura: Are they more monsters?
Sora: No! They are our allies. They're known as Dream Eaters. Work together with them.
Lucy: Aren't the Dream Eaters suppose to be in the Realm of Sleep?
Sora: Yeah. But I remember the Heartbinder Yen Sid gave me, so I summoned them.
Natsu: Nice one!
The Dream Eaters attacked many Heartlesses, Nobodies, and Unverses they can see. Some of the mages joined with the Dream Eaters in the fight, riding on them and combining attacks.
Sora then grabbed a Meow Wow and got onto its back.
Sora: Get them!
Sora and the Meow Wow jumped high into the air and crashed onto the Tide. But during the crash, Sora fell off of the Meow Wow.
Sora: Donlad! Goofy!
Donald and Goofy: Yes!
The two of them jumped towards Sora.
The trio summoned the magic train and sent it flying towards the Tide. When they collided it caused a huge explosion.
Trio: Alright!
However, the Tide flew out from the explosion, but it's core is mostly shown. When they landed, some of the Shadows began to fall off of the core.
Drake: Oh come on!
Ur: This is getting ridiculous.
Suddenly, the Tide began going around in a short circle, creating a miniature cyclone that made it difficult for everyone to hold their ground.
Goofy: Something's wrong.", said Goofy.
"What's happening?", wondered Happy.
"Look out!", shouted Donald.
The cyclone grew even stronger, as all of the other monsters in the area were sucked into it.
Jellal: The monsters...!
Bruni: (shocked) They're merging?!
Multiple Demon Tides came out of the cyclone and started to grab more monsters, even the monsters everyone was fighting directly. Once they were all gathered, they formed a giant monster tornado.
Kat: What a ridiculously large tornado.
Trish: (sensed something) Wait, something's coming.
Suddenly, a red portal in front of the group as something emerge from it. It was humanoid demon wearing Sentinel armor. His armor is an earthy green, with a plate on the left of their chests, with a red glow in the center.
His upper under-armor seems to have been torn away, as some shreds can be seen from underneath their ammo belts. The lack of under-armor reveals his chest, with deathly-pale skin and visible dark veins leading to the heart. He has a larger pauldron on his left shoulder, and heavy armor down the arm.
He was known as the Marauder.
Aurora: What is that thing?!
Modeus: (shocked) No... It's the Marauder!
Drake: Marauder?
Modeus: I heard tales about them. They are a group of resurrected and corrupted Night Sentinels that work for Mundus, becoming demonic sentinels after their deaths.
Kat: And how dangerous are they?
Modeus: Very dangerous. Take care of the Demon Tide, I'll hand the Marauder.
Wendy: By yourself?!
Natsu: Forget that, man! We can help you!
Modeus: No. This one too strong for you to handle, you must focus the threat while I'll keep him busy.
Gajeel: That's not a good idea pal. I can tell from this guy's scent he's got some serious power.
Modeus: All the more reason for me to keep his attention away from you.
Wendy: But-
Drake: (puts a hand on her shoulder) He knows what he's doing This guy was trained by my Old Man, I'm sure he's got a few tricks up his sleeves. (looks at Modeus) But don't go dying on us. I don't think my Dad's spirit would be too happy if I let his student die.
Though Dante spoke in a joking tone, Modeus could tell he was serious and telling him to be careful.
Modeus: I will be fine. Do not worry.
Natsu looked a bit uncertain but then accepted it.
Natsu: Okay.
Gajeel: Fine.
Wendy looked the most concern.
Wendy: Modeus... just promise you'll come back. Promise me that.
Modeus turned to Wendy with a smile.
Modeus: Alright... I promise.
This earned a smile from Wendy. Modeus' look became serious as he walked towards the Marauder.
Marauder: You were never one of us. (actives his axe) You were nothing but a usurper, a false idol. My eyes have been opened. Let me help you to see, Modeus.
Modeus: Don't be certain. I will not allow you to harm my friends.
The two demons clashed their weapons.
Goofy: What now?
Donald: Sora?
Sora: (serious look) I'll stop it! (charged towards the tornado)
Donald and Goofy: Sora!
Ooba: Is he crazy?!
Elfman: Not crazy, he's a man!
Jet: You're missing the point!
Natsu: Don't hog it all! (follows Sora)
Lucy: Natsu!
Shadows burst out of the tornado, heading towards Sora and Natsu. Sora slashed the Shadows while Natsu punched. The both jumped into the air and gave out a battle cry as they were about to attack the tornado.
Suddenly, there was a burst of light from the tornado, which nearly blinded the boys. When they opened their eyes, they saw a boy standing in front of them.
He has curly, silver hair and cyan eyes. He wears a white shirt under a black vest with grey accents, dark grey pants, and black boots. He has a red scarf around his neck. The boy also wears a tan pouch around his waist.
Natsu: Who are you?
Boy: (smiles) Need some help?
Sora: Huh?
The boy disappeared and Sora and Natsu landed back on the ground.
Millianna: Look up at the sky!
Everyone looked up, and saw objects flying in the sky. When they looked closer, they saw that the objects in the sky were the abandoned Keyblades flying together.
Makarov: Keyblades?
Macbeth: They must be the abandoned keys left behind at the Graveyard.
Rufus: But why are they moving now?
Lector: Who cares! It's a miracle!
Forsch: I think so too!
The Keyblades then flew towards Sora and then chased after them. He then jumped on one of the flying Keyblades and flew towards the tornado.
Natsu: Let's go, Happy!
Happy: Aye sir! (grabbed Natsu and flew after Sora)
Wendy: We're going, Carla!
Carla nodded and they joined the flight.
Gajeel: I'm not going to let Salamander and Sora have all the fun. We're going too, Lily!
Panther Lily: Right.
Sting: We're going too, Rogue. Lector!
Rouge: You too, Frosch.
Lector and Frosch: Yeah!
The three of them also took off. They were then joined by Laxus and Cobra, who were flying with the Komory Bat Spirits. Sora saw the flying Dragon Slayers and smiled and they all went inside the tornado.
*with Modeus*
Modeus was mostly stuck on the defensive end, clashing both his swords against the relentless assault from Marauder's axe. They locked their weapons and glared at each other, but Modeus delivered a cart-wheel-kick to Marauder's jaw as he back flipped away for some distance.
Modeus: Demon Sword: Phantom Moon!
Modeus threw both his blades forward, sending multiple crescent-moon projectiles towards Marauder who the attack with his shield. But this gave Modeus an opening to come in from behind.
Modeus: Demon Sword: Residual Moon!
He swung past Marauder with a glowing blade. A crescent-moon mark appeared on Marauder's chest; which exploded in white energy. This caused him to grunt in pain as the force pushed him back.
Modeus: This ends now! (swords were now glowing red) Demon Sword: Chaotic Moon!
He crossed both red blades in an x-formation and threw them forward. This created a spectral image of the full moon, glowing red with red lightning around it. It shot forward straight at Marauder and exploded upon contact, much larger than most of his attacks.
The attack faded, leaving only smoke. Modeus sighed. However, he soon footsteps as the Marauder barley had a scratch on him.
Marauder: Pathetic, I expected more from you.
Modeus looked in great surprise. The Chaotic Moon technique never failed him before.
Modeus: How...?
Marauder: If you think an attack would kill me then you're a fool.
Marauder speed up in front of Modeus and swung his axe at him, sending him flying onto a wall. The Marauder pulled out his shotgun and began firing at Modeus, who quickly dodged it, but he was bitten by a phantom wolf.
Modeus yelled in pain as the Marauder throw his axe at his shoulder.
Modeus's mind: This gonna be tougher than I thought. Sora, Natsu, Wendy, I hope you're doing better than me.
Chapter 99 ended.
