Kingdom Hearts: Origins

The Final Battle

The wild one began to laugh heinously and screamed at Selena, "Yeah right! Believe me, if ee wanted to we could have killed all of you before you even got here! You're lucky as hell that I can't get in there otherwise I'd-" Devlin had cute him off. "So, this is it, huh? We have our schizophrenic friend Will...or is it William right now? Ah who gives a damn. We have my mizerable, pathetic, excuse of a brother! We have Selena, the Keyblade Master and blah blah blah. Then there's my best friend who believes I've been lying to him, when in all honesty my friend, I merely told you what I could. If I told you anymore then I'd have died. And so would you..." Devlin looked down at the ground, feeling a bit sad and angry now that his only friend had abandoned him.

"And finally is the man of the hour! The reason ALL of you are here! The reason any of us, besides Virgil and Ashley, even have Keyblades! I give you all...Jordan!" Jordan stared angrily into the eyes of Devlin. He wanted to rush him right now but knew better. "Jordan, how does it feel? Will has attacked you in the past randomly in the past for merely helping a girl! And he's your friend," Devlin asked. "He was misguided by the darkness in his heart," Jordan snapped back. "Humph, fair enough. But what about Darian? He left you. He even turned his back on you at times. I think he doesn't even like you." Darian looked at Jordan then at Devlin and replied, "He's my best friend. And sometimes even the best of friends fight. And for that, Jordan, I'm sorry." Jordan smiled and looked at Devlin.

"Ok. Well then there's still your sister and her boyfriend." Jordan tightened the grip on his Keyblade and said, "Watch your tongue Devlin." "She has been brainwashed as of late, I get that part! But when she came back to see you finally, what did sbe say? Did she say 'I missed you brother'? How about a little 'I love you bro'? No? What about 'Happy birthday'?" Devlin said the last line very smartly, knowing it would touch a nerve. It did. Jordan was biting his lower lip to fight the voice in his heae and not strike. Darian looked over at Jordan worried, not knowing what to do. "Better yet, when she was with Virgil. I know Jordan, you said something during your raged sense of mind, Virgil harmed you. And you probably don't remember but she helped him before helping you. She wanted to make sure her boyfriend was fine, her brother being second priority. Ooh, this one is my favorite though. When Virgil didn't look like he was in his right state of mind, you circled him to make sure he didn't do anything hostile. Not to you or anyone else. But your sister. But nooo! You were obviously going to attack him. So Virgil got angry and was gona beat you up, no, kill you! You said you wouldn't even touch him! And then guess what?! Selena even sided with Virgil!" The mad one in the back was severely pissed off and screamed, "Rip off his damn head!"

Jordan had enough. He charged towards Devlin as fast as he could. It wasn't fast enough, however. Devlin caught him by his face and threw him back towards the group, Jordan landing on his back hard. He groaned in pain as Devlin shook his head. "You must let It out to win Jordan. Otherwise I cannot be defeated." Darian leaped in the air and tried to slam his Keyblade on Devlin while Ashley rushed to strike him. Devlin kicked Ashley in the face so he hard she fell on her back and was battling between unconsciousness and consciousness. He grabbed Darian by his Keyblade and launched him over to the other side of the clearing. "Oh yeah, I torgot I had a Keyblade too," Devlin said sarcastically. He summoned his Keyblade finally and got into his fighting position. His Keyblade had apparently increased in length by at least four or five inches and carried a more impressive shine on it then previously.

 

Devlin backflipped over Will and shot shards of black ice at Will in his back before turning his attention to Selena who was now speaking. He was about to say something but couldn't as she quickly attacked him from behind. He stumbled over and onto one knee before turning around slowly to face her. "No Selena. You are horribly wrong. It isn't that simple to feed It. It cannot survive off of hate. It merely utilizes Jordans negative emotions. Sometimes even the positive emotions. No, no, It feeds off of something much more critical. And if It doesn't feed soon, Jordan will die." That was enough of a distraction. He slammed his hand down onto his own shadow and disappeared momentarily, only to reappear under Selena and attacking her, sending her flying up. He landed on his feet and shot a nice powerful blast of dark lightning at her.

Jordan slowly began to get up, holding the hi-potion in one hand, his Keyblade in another.

"We must feed soon Jordan..."
"We...we grow weaker each second..."

Jordan was taking a while to catch uis breath and when he looked at the hi-potion, he was about to drink it. It was until he saw his friend Darian on the ground behind him that he knew he needed it more so then him. He walked over to him and placed it in his hands. "This cannot save me my friend. But perhaps it will save you," he told Darian in a low tone. Darian replied slowly, "But...Jordan..." Jordan ignored his plea and began to walk back to Devlin.

 

He threw a wall of fire to blocking the ice attack, although a few broken pieces scratched him, nothing big. He jumped back and looked at her with an angy look. "Wrong again kiddo! I don't get shit," he yelled, now shooting a barrage of fireballs her way. "It's all about my promise and keeping my Keyblade."

Jordan quickly and quietly appeared behind Devlin and kicked him in his back before hitting him with what he thought would be a slightly powerful fire attack. Thanks to Axel, however, it turned out to be a fireball the size of Devlin. Devlin knew it was coming and quickly sidestepped out of the way. "Not cool Jordan! Hehe, literally," he said smiling.

Jordan readied himself, not saying a word, waiting for Devlin's move.

 

Jordan shrugged, still struggling to breath. "Eh, I've been better."

"What have I been selfish about! Do you think I enjoy this? No! This shit has ruined my life! I haven't seen my brother in years! I haven't seen all of you in years," he yelled back at Selena. One of the men behind Devlin stepped up a bit, minding the barrier that seperated him and the other six from Devlin and the others.. "Watch your tongue Devlin. Should you break the promise-" Devlin waved him off and groaned. "I know, I know. Selena, this is the only way your brother shall survive this whole ordeal."

Devlin looked as though he was going to strike, but before he could, Darian jumped in front of him and hit him in the side with his Keyblade. "Leave them alone Devlin," said Darian, sternly. Devlin smiled and said nothing as the two began to battle, connecting Keyblades in quick, hard motions. It ended shortly after Devlin kicked him in the gut and shot a blast of darkness at him.

Jordan frowned, knowing it was his turn now. He ran up to Devlin and punched him in the gut, making Devlin hold his gut for a secod. Jordan backed away quickly, feeling as though he could do no more. Devlin laughed and stood up straight, cracking his knuckles. "Not bad. Unfortunately, you're hungry. If you let It out though, you'll be strong enough to beat me. Hell, destroy me!"

 

Devlin was slow to get up. Not because he was badly hurt, but because he now had to face his good friend. He brushed himself off and looked at Virgil with an almost lazy look. "I really don't want to do this Virgil. You're my friend," he said honestly. He shook his head, looking down at the ground. He raised his head to the sight of several flaming pillars surrounding him. He smirked and wagged a finger at Axel. "Idiot," he mumbled before opening a portal below his feet and falling through it. He reopened it above Axel and shot him with blasts of ice before jumping away.

"You're running out of time Devy," panicked the maniacal hooded man. He began to point at the deteriorating Jordan, who was on his knees coughing. Devlin looked at him then at Virgil and Selena. "Shit."

With intense speed, Devlin ran towards Virgil and swung his Keyblade as hard as he could into his stomach. He grabbed Selena by the back of her shirt and threw her in front of Jordan. He jumped next to Jordan and growled, "Don't you give up on me, dammit. The fate of everyone here rests on you letting It out. NOW." Jordan breathed heavily and pushed Devlin. Jordan laughed and replied, "No."

Devlin, now too angered to even think, kicked Selena. "Get angry you son of a bitch," he yelled at Jordan. Jordan continued to laugh. "You're not gonna beat my sister. Besides, I don't think you even know what to do to piss me off."
