As the dragon was healing itself, is was slowly being incased in a ball of earth. Soon the dragon was completely covered and hidden from view. Then David had the idea to burn everything down so the dragon couldn't heal anymore. " Get up there without me," Kai told them. " I'll take care of this!" While Zero and Seamus got to higher ground Kai took out his red card. He was going to need Overlord's help to pull this off.
Kai tossed the red card up in the air and in a flash of red light Overlord appeared. Kai slowly got up to one of the lower platforms, trying to get to a safe distance before calling out the attack. Once he was high enough he called out to Overlord. " Fire burst on the ground!" Overlord was covered in a aura of fire. Soon it shot out a large fire orb from its mouth and two beams of fire out. Once the orb hit the ground it exploded. The beams moved along the ground making trails of fire. Soon the entire ground was covered in fire.
As the flames were setting the ball of earth burst opened. When the pieces fell the drqgon was revealed. All the cracks and gashes in its body were gone, and it was no longer made out of dirt. It was now solid stone, the plants on its back soon fell off. Its fangs and claws were made out of metal and its eyes were glowing black. Spikes were now comingout of its body, acting as a defensive measure. It swung its tail around, destroying some of the platforms.

As it happened, one of the platforms that was destroyed was the very one David stood on. Just as the dragon's tail hit, he jumped back to the ground it had already passed over. Clearly the beast was ready for round two, but the group was fairly exhausted by now. There was no way David could use Aspect this soon, but if things kept going this way...
He glared at the massive creature in defiance, but another grin surfaced as he noticed something. "Looks like both plans worked." His blade glowed as Lightblade enabled, casting strangely shaped shadows around the area. Instead of charging in though, he threw his keyblade like a spear, arcing over the beast to pierce just behind it's skull.

Seamus was on one of the platforms the dragon destroyed. Normally he would have landed on the dragon's tail and grind along it. But there were spikes all over it this time. He was forced to react differently, jumping off the platform and rolling under the tail as it went by. Coming up to a stand his sword reappeared in his hand. He did a quick scan over the battle. The dragon was like new again with a new paint job and everything, while everyone else looked near their limit. David was saving his buff for when Elizabeth reused her aura, so that was out of the question. They would have to keep the dragon busy until that happened, which shouldn't be too much longer. There was no other choice, he would have to use it.
As David's keyblade went inti the dragon's head Seamus held his sword against his heart. He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His body was slowly getting covered in a dark aura. As the aura faded away he entered his dark form. His green eyes were now red and his blond hair was now black and red. His aura had changed, it was now dark and cold. He slowly ooened his eyes and looked at his hands. He hated using this form, he hated using darkness in general, but the dragon had left him no choice. Putting a firm grib on his sword he pointed it at the dragon. He shot out five orbs of darkness right where David's keyblade was.
The orbs hit the dragon's head, exploding on contact. A few cracks were made. The dragon roared out as it turned to Seamus. Its eyes glowed black as it was covered in a dark aura. Its aura shot out countless beams and orbs of darkness across the battle field. Elizabeth was getting annoyed at the dragon. She moved out of its tails way and landed on the ground. Her aura was almost ready, when she could use it again she would end this battle.

David stared at Seamus in surprise as he noticed the similarities between his new form and his friend Jason's Aspect. A grin tugged at the corner of his mouth as he called out to his ally. "Looks like I'm not the only one here with an Elemental Form. You've been holding out on me!"
David's eyes widened for a fraction of a second as the dragon's attack swept the area. There was no cover close enough, so he had no choice but to dig in his boots and cover his face with his arms. The Twilight coursing through his armor cut the attack in half, but what made it through still felt like being run over. He barely stayed on his feet, stumbling as the blast ended.
He glanced around at everyone else, particularly Elizabeth. "Guys, hit my keyblade with everything you've got! If it breaks inside the dragon, the Light should kill it! Elizabeth, The instant you use your aura again I'll give you even more power!" He readied his Twilight Augmentation, preparing to use it on the young girl the moment she activated her Chaos Aura.

Naturally the darkness attacks did little damage to Seamus, but they still pushed him back a little. David yelled out at them, telling to to aim all their attacks at his keyblade. Seamus remembered him using the lightblade to kill heartless easily. With the dragon absorbing darkness it should also work here. As soon as the dark aura left the dragon Seamus dashed off. He stopped until he was in front of the dragon, shooting five more orbs of darkness at its head.
After hearing that David was ready to give Elizabeth the boost Seamus dashed off again. He ran under the dragon and kept going till he was a ways away from everyone. He then started taking deep breaths, it was time to unleash it. A strong gust of wind filled the battle field. They started going around Seamus. In an instant three fiery tornadoes appeared beside Seamus. Two were at his side and the third was behind him. All three were ten feet tall and five feet wide. He would stay there controling them, waiting for Elizabeth to get her aura back and create an opening for them.
Zero didn't have that mant attacks that would be effective against the dragon. As he watched Seamus run off he knew what he was planning to do. It was time to keep th3 dragon's attention away from him. Zeroshot out a large ball of fire right over the dragon. Twenty smaller fire orbs rained down on the dragon.
Kai would be ready to follow up this attack. Kai's body was covered in an aura of blue fire. He then charged into the dragon, trying to ram right into it. The dragon was on the move ready to counter. It quickly swiped it's claw, hitting Kai. Luckily Kai's aura exploded on contact. While Kai was sent flying back his aura did do a number on the dragon. Unfortunately Kai took more recoil damage.
Elizabeth dropped to the ground on all fours. It was time for her to kill her prey. She gave out a loud roar as her body was covered in a chaos aura again. Her wings came out out her body. She quickly took off flying towards the dragon. Whenthe dragon swung at her she flew under it. She landed on its arm, digging her claws into it to keep her on. She chomped down on the arm, her fangs tearing into the stone. She then moved her head to tear off a chunck of the arm.

David winced as he felt the mental recoil of all those attacks on the Shattered Sunset, resulting in one of the worst headaches he had ever felt. The keyblade was near the breaking point now, barely holding itself together somehow. Light seeped out of numerous cracks in the blade, most of them tracing the changing colors of the crystal.
His head snapped over to Elizabeth as she flew into combat once more, enshrouded by her Chaos Aura. Finally, the chance had come to finish the fight. "Twilight Augmentation: Second Style!" His voice shook, and he fell to one knee, but the now familiar purple aura transferred from his body to Elizabeth's. "Now's out chance! Break that blade Elizabeth!" If the Shattered Sunset broke, the Light withing would completely annihilate the dragon's head, and finish this for good.

With the onslaught of attacks the dragon paid no attention to Seamus. This was perfect, now he could hit the thing with the tornadoes. Seamus started running towards the beast, the tornadoes following him. When he came close he slid under the dragon. The three tornadoes consumed half of the dragon's body. Soon the lower half of its body was on fire. This combined with Elizabeth made the dragon roar out in pain. Seamus soon then rolled away from the dragon and landed next to David. He held his sword up as he casted curaga on them. " Elizabeth's got this." He told him. " She has Riley's dna after all. He's know for pulling through in times like this."
As David's aura came to her Elizabeth's aura started changing colors. It was now a mix of purple and pink. With her strength increased again as well as her speed getting a buff, she was no a much bigger threat than ever. She easily tore through the dragon's arm. It soon broke off and Elizabeth went right to the next one. She sank her fangs into it and tore it right off. As the dragon fell foward she flew off. She then came back to the dragon's head. She flew right through it. She left a trace of three slashes on David's keyblade.
As it broke light erupted, and the dragon's head exploded. Elizabeth wasn't finished with it yet. She kept ripping off parts of the dragon with her claws and fangs. She then used her tail to smash all the remaining pieces. Soon there was nothing left but a few stones and a few pieces of metal. Elizabeth's aura disappeared as she started chewing on one of the metals. The green orb laied on the ground, glowing with magic.

David nodded as Seamus healed them. "Thanks again. I've really got to learn how to cast that spell." He tried to grin, but let out a short cry instead as he felt his keyblade finally shatter. His hand flew to his head, but the searing pain only lasted an instant. When his eyes refocused, the dragon was no more.
David stood slowly, but his body no longer shook from exhaustion thanks to the healing spell. He walked over to the orb and picked it up, studying it for a moment. It seemed to have a life of it's own, but David was too tired to really care, and he lightly tossed it over to Zero.
Next, he moved over to where the head had been. A quick search found numerous fragments of crystal from his keyblade scattered around the area, and he gathered them into a small pile. "I'll let you guys in on a secret, something nobody else knows about Shattered Sunset."
As he spoke, he knelt down and placed both palms on the pile of crystal. "Before I had a keyblade, I used a sword forged completely from amethyst, a relic from my world. Over the course of a year it slowly absorbed my energy, becoming more like another limb than a weapon." As he continued, the colors in the pile shifted to a deep purple.
"About a year ago I found my home world, and traveled there with a few friends and my sister. Shortly after we arrived, the amethyst blade shattered. Panicking, I tried to force it back together using Twilight." The pile now began to glow with raw Twilight energy, then vanished with a large flash of purple light.
David stood and faced the others, Shattered Sunset now back in his right hand. "This keyblade was forged by my own hand, from the shards of my past and that crystal blade. Even if it breaks, I can reforge it." He brought his blade up and rested it on his shoulder, then turned and started walking back to the entrance. "Let's finish this up. Riley's probably getting bored waiting for us."

Zero looked at the orb as David tossed it too him. It gave off a powerful magical aura, similar to the aura the keys gave off. As David gather up the pieces of his keyblade Zero examined them a bit closer. All the parts seemed to be made of crystal. Zero hadn't had a chance to see David's keyblade up close until now. As David told the origin story of his keyblade Zero was amazed. He never heard of anyone creating their own keyblade before. Riley's keyblade was given to him and no one knew where or how his master got her's. " Amazing," he said.
As David commented about Riley getting bored Seamus laughed. " Ya, he's a little impatient." He said. When they got back in the room the green orb started glowing brighter. Thinking of something Zero placed it in one of the holes in the door. The orb stopped glowing, the the door opened up. " Guess we only needed one of the orbs?" Seamus said confused.
" I told you we should have took the easy path!" Kai said.
The door led to a crystal chamber. There was an aura of darkness covering the key. Seamus thought about how David absorbed some of the chaos aura from the tower of chaos. " I think I got this." Still in his dark form, Seamus placed his hand on the aura. The aura then started going into his hand till it was all gone. He then picked up the key. " That's all of them! Now let's go meet up with Riley and ooen that gateway."
As they went back through the tunnel a female knight stood in their path. She looked beaten a little, a few cuts here and there, blood running here. She had a smile on her face. There was no sign of Riley, kr the female keyblader. " I have a message of the prince himself." She said.

David looked a bit embarrassed as the main door opened. "Well, at least we weren't hurt too bad in the fight." Seamus had no problem getting the key from its prison of Darkness, and soon the group was on their way back down the tunnel.
Something was off about the walk down the tunnel though. For one thing, there was no sign of Riley. Just before the female knight came into view David sensed her. She didn't seem to pose any threat, so he allowed her to get close enough to speak. His reply was heavily tinged with sarcasm. "Really? What does the idiot want?"

Elizabeth growled at the knight. She didn't trust her, not after she was chained up by the prince's knights. Her eyes glowed as she tried to sense her father's aura. She couldn't sense anything, not even the female keyblader he was fighting. She was now really worried about him, and mad at the knight. She blamed her.
The knight laughed. She took out a note and tossed it to Seamus. " See you all at the city in the sky." She skipped away until her aura could be sensed anymore. Seamus read the note. As he got further to the end his aura started changing. He seemed to get angry about what it said. " Those bastards kidnapped Riley! They blind sided him when he was fighting the other keyblader!" He shook the note as the keys Riley had fell out. All the keys started glowing. After a while they all stopped glowing, and were completely drained. There was a strong beam of light in the sky, going north. " They took him to the prince! He has to be heading north. With all the keys taken that beam must lead to the gateway!"

David glanced over at Seamus as he finished reading the note. He had initially been worried about him losing control, but he seemed to just be supremely pissed off. David was pretty angry himself, but still managed to smirk a bit at a stray thought. "I almost feel sorry for the prince. Riley isn't the quietest guy."
That smirk faded as the keys launched a massive beam of Light into the air. It was so powerful that he had no trouble finding it's endpoint, miles to the north. He concentrated for a moment, then opened a Corridor about half a mile south of the endpoint. "This will take us close to the gateway, but far enough away to keep from being ambushed. Let's go get our friend back!"

" Seamus clam down!" Zero said. " You can't lose your temper being a darkness user. This is Riley we're talking about, this kind of thing happens all the time. We'll get him back, you can count on it." What Zero said was true. Riley was kidnapped countless times. It was an occurring thing.
Seamus was slowly claming down after Zero spoke. " I don't care how often it happens!" He said. " That doesn't change the fact some asshole has my best friend!" After David made the corridor he nodded. " come on let's go!" Into the corridor he went followed by the others. The corridor took them back to the surface, and into some clearing.
The beam of light went into glowing white gates. The gates led to a portal. They could see inside the portal. It led to the city in the clouds they saw in the painting long ago. It was a city with all white buildings and tall towers. One tower stood above all others, disappearing high into the clouds.

David took a sidelong glance at Zero as they walked through the portal. "Funny how he tends to be the 'damsel in distress' often. Of course, he does look the part..." He didn't even bother to mention that Seamus wasn't likely going to lose control of his Darkness. He figured they knew that already.
When they got to the gates, the portal to the city was already open. "Looks like the prince got here first. We'll need to watch out for traps or ambushes." That last statement was directed mostly toward Seamus, but encompassed everyone as well. "Just a word of warning to you guys: I may have to use End of Twilight here. If you see my right arm glowing when I'm in Aspect form, get at least twenty yards away." With that, he walked through the portal to the shining city.

Zero nodded to David. " Forty yards, got it." When they entered the portal they ended up on a gaint cloud in the sky. The city was just how it looked in the paintings. All white buildings, gaint towers, and silver roads. There were knights everywhere, guarding the tallest tower and the streets. They were heavily armed and all across the city. There were even some dragons being held by chains by them. No doubt there were guarding the prince trying to get the sword.
Zero turned to everyone. " Alright I have an idea. Seamus, Elizabeth, and David go inside the tower and find Riley and the Prince. The sword is in there, so he'll most likely be in there. Me and Kai well distract the knights. We'll try to keep them from going after you all. Once we take care of all of them we'll guard the portal just in case any more show up."
Across the way the female keyblader could be seen. She had Riley wraped in chains and someone in silver armor walking beside her. There was no doubt it was the prince. Riley was complaining the whole way into the tower. " Is this how you treat all your guests?!" He asked. " No wonder no one likes you. And just look at your armor! It doesn't go with your eyes at all! And talk about low budget trips! No movie or snacks! Not even a cheap bag of peanuts or glass of water! Just what kind of kidnappers are you?"
They both glared at him. " Oh right I'm the damsel in distress. Got it." He cleared his voice. " Oh dear it seems I have been kidnapped. Oh what I am to do. I'm so helpless against their power. Help! Oh someone please help poor old me! I didn't even get to finish painting my nails. Of all the worst possible things to happen, this is the worst possible thing! Now they're ruined! If only there was some knight in shining armor to save me. Not you of course you are the worst knight in shining armor that ever lived! Oh help me somebody please!" They disappeared into the tower.

David struggled to keep the laughter that shook his entire body silent as he caught the tail end of Riley's rant. A few minutes later he recovered and wiped a few tears of mirth from his eyes. "If he keeps that up, they may PAY us to take him back."
Finally serious again, he studied the layout of the city and placement of the guards. There didn't seem to be any path that could get them there without being seen. Corridors of Darkness wouldn't work either, since he couldn't sense any of the three already in the tower. He sighed, then looked at the others. "Looks like we don't have much of a choice but to use that plan. I'll follow your lead Seamus."

Seamus laughed and shook his head at Riley's rant. " Only Riley would manage to do that," he said. He then nodded to David. " Zero, Kai. Stay alive and don't take too long." With that he started to run after Riley while Elizabeth followed him. When the knights first saw them coming they ran after them. It wasn't until Elizabeth came into view they started backing up. Clearly they all knew who she was.
Inside the tower was different than the rest of the towers they've been in. It was all made of glowing white stone. The room was nearly empty save for some stairs that went all the way up the tower. The three were heading up the stares and Riley waved at them. The keyblader then hit his hand and Riley rolled his eyes. " I'll take care of them. You won't need me to get the sword." The prince took Riley by the chains and went up the tower.
The keyblader dropped down from the stairs and looked at them. " I'm surprised you made it this far." She laughed. " But before I kill you I have to ask something. Why try to get him back? He never shuts up and always complains. If you ask me we should have tossed him over the cloud."
Seamus stared down the woman. " Because he's my best friend!" He yelled. " Besides if you didn't like him you should have left him with us. Just because he's okay doesn't mean I'll forgive you. It just means I'll go easy on you. Besides I'm trying to save all my anger for the prince."
" Oh but why do that? Don't you want to have all the fun you can with me before I kill you?"
" Well I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're not my type."
" He's right you know," a voice said. The two looked up to see Ren appear at the stairs. He had a smile on his face. In the mist of all this Elizabeth ran past Ren. She didn't care about the keyblader, she wanted the prince. He had Riley now. Ren hoped on the rails and sat.
" I thought you left!" Seamus said.
Ren laughed. " I did, but I got bored. Besides I want the prince dead too. He hated my marshmallows. The nerve of the guy! And I thought I was heartless. To add insult to injury he didn't like my juice boxes either. I hope you all give him what for. You know the old one two. But don't worry I'll be help out. Not now of course, I'm hungry and I bet this will be a good show. I'll jump in at some point." A bag of marshmallows appeared in his hand. He struggled to open it. " A little help please? "
Seamus shook his head and faceplamed. The keyblader didn't know what to think. " Is every O'Malley a mental patient?!" She thought she saw the last of Ren. After a few seconds Ren got the bag to open and spilled some marshmallows that landee on the keyblader's head. He said never mind and started eating. Then a drinking cap that had the words " World's greatest villain" on it appeared on his head. The keyblader sighed and turned to Seamus and David. " I don't care when he jumps in. I'm still gonna kill you both here and now." Her keyblade appeared. She slamed in on the ground and created a shock wave.

David quickly followed Seamus and Elizabeth into the tower, noting the fear of the knights as they went. The pure white room threatened to blind him for a moment, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He stayed close to the entrance as everyone began talking, though he was confused when Ren showed up again. He just shook his head, assuming being unpredictable was a family thing.
The keyblader's attack snapped David back into reality. With a practiced flick he summoned Shattered Sunset as he vaulted over the shock wave. An arrogant smirk graced his face as he hung in the air for a moment. "I've fought demons, mad scientists, and beings capable of destroying entire worlds. What makes you thing you'll do any better?" He landed a few feet from the enemy with his keyblade point first in the floor, Crystal Genesis rapidly emerging before it.

As soon as the keyblade made her attack Seamus sprung into action. He flipped over the shock wave as his sword appeared in his hand. As soon as his feet hit the ground he leaped towards the keyblader. He took a quick note of David having his keyblade pointed down as he was coming to th3 ground. He's been fighting alongside him long enough to know what he was going to do. His blade clashed with the keyblader's. As soon as he heard David hit the ground he kicked off the keyblader, jumping to the left.
As soon as Seamus jumoed away the crystal genesis hit the keyblader. She screamed out in pain as her legs were impaled. She then looked at David angrily. Her keyblade started glowing. Soon it took the form of a two handed sword. Her eyes started glowing as it lit with a white aura. She held it up as it shot an orb of white fire up. The orb grew larger as it rained down smaller orbs and beams of white fire all over the room.
Ren was glued to his seat the second the action began. He ate his marshmallows as he watched them go at it. He sat back a little when David launched his crystal genesis. Taking a sit of his drink he watched as it started rainning fire. That's when he got an idea. " Don't worry guys I'll take care of this!" A stick appeared in his hand. He stuck it in a marshmallow and held it out. As soon as an orb of white fire hit it he blew it out. He then put some chocolate on a gram cracker and put the marshmallow on top. He then smashed a second gram cracker on top of it. He blew on it before taking a bite. As he ate the smore he kept watching all the action.

David nodded at Seamus as he pulled his keyblade out of the ground. "Great job!" His eyes narrowed when the foe's keyblade changed, unsure of the full extent of her abilities. He started moving once the fire started falling, attempting to dodge what he could barely see against the white walls. Ren claimed to be taking care of it, but it seemed more like he was taking care of his hunger instead.
David shook his head as a small flame bounced off his back. He needed to focus on the fight, not on Ren. He took a moment to glance at the stairs, but the fight kept him form being able to sense anything from above. He was worried about Elizabeth and Riley. He ran toward the keyblader, appearing to just charge straight in, but a quick roll took him past her. He turned quickly, aiming the flat of his blade for the back of her head. He didn't want to kill her, but the blow would probably give her a concussion and know her out for a while if it hit.
