Fan Fiction ❯ Imaginary Whispers ❯ Final showdown ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Heart's... and I don't own Riku, because life is never fair! Anyways, sorry for not updating for so long but I had writer's block again. So here is the next chappie! But first you can(If you want) read the dark words that brought me back to realization.

I took there smiles and made them mine, I sold my soul just to hide the light And now I know what I really am. A theif, a whore, and a liar.

**Thinking (A/N:)Me ~~~~~~~Change of scene

" "Speaking ~*~*~*Flashback/dream
~~~

Two day's had past and Sky was still chained up in the cell. She was tired, hungry, and in pain. She had a few bruises and a lot of cut's, due to Sephiroth's abuse. Most of all, even though she refused to admit it.....she missed Riku. Sky missed the warmth she had, every time she was with him. She missed everyone else too and just like in her dream, she was alone.

She wished she was able to cry. But tears showed weakness; something that she didn't need right now. She was already weak, the pain was unbearable. Sephiroth had controlled her mind and so far, it hadn't taken affect, which was a good thing.

~~~~~~~

"I got it, I know where Sky is" Sora shouted, closing the book in his hand. "Wow, I thought you'd be the last on to find out where she was. So do tell." Leon replied.

"Well you guy's said that the castle was where the darkness and light meet, right." They all nodded at this. "Well, there's nothing brighter then the sun right? there's also nothing darker then a black hole." They all agreed with Sora. "Good Sora, now all you have to do is find out where that is" Riku said.

"You act like you knew all along" Sora said. "I knew the information that you just told, but not exactly where Sky is." Riku replied. "Oh" Sora said, blinking in confusion. "And why may I ask, are you not worried about Sky? I mean she is your girlfriend" Sora asked.

"You know nothing Sora" Riku replied, though deep down, he was worried sick about her.

"So all we have to do is find out where that is and use a gummiship to get there, right?" Aerith asked.

"Yeah, but I'm your gonna have to wait, cause all my gummiship's are in repair." Cid said.(A/N: I bet you didn't know he was even there)

"Yeah, well you better fix one fast you old fart." Yuffie said, hiding behind Leon, knowing that Cid wouldn't attack him.

"Yuffie your a ninja, the old man can't hurt you" Sora said, laughing uneasily at the way Cid was looking at him. *Or maybe he can* Sora thought.

~~~~~~~

"Lord Sephiroth, the girl has escaped!" one of the guard's yelled. "I know, but don't worry. She is under my control and she only waiting in the balcony." Sephiroth said, calm as ever. *This way, her friend's will have to kill her and the last one standing, might not be her*

~*~*~*Flashback~*~*~*

"You'll have to forget about them all, you do now that, right?"

"I know"

"If you even think about them, they will over power you, make you weak"

"I know"

"You don't want to become weak. You are dead, lifeless, a shadow to those among you, but you are not weak."

"I know, I will not become weak"

"Remember our deal, You turn on me and I will kill you"

This man was getting on her nerves, never leaving her alone to think of what she was doing, not that she could think, she had no control on her mind what so ever. At times she did, but that rarely happened. Her body was still in control, but her mind keep her from making the right choices.

"I know, I heard you the first time"

"Watch yourself" he whispered in her ear.

Sephiroth took two bands made of metal, he attached one on each of Sky's arms, both were high above her elbows.

She looked at them, with her now crimson hollow eye's. So cold, so lifeless, just like her. Her life was worthless now.

"These bands will keep you in control of anything you do, they will keep you in check. If you don't kill them, the poison within these bands will slowly and painfully kill you. You got it."

"I got it, kill them or get killed"

"Good, now go and wait for there arrival. Don't worry, they'll be here. That boy, Riku, will lead them."

She frowned, Riku, another name which was unfamiliar, but yet still there to keep her in her own thoughts.

"Now go, kill them. Take what they took from you."

~*~*~*End of flashback~*~*~*

Sky's p.o.v.

I am a dead soul, searching for revenge. They have killed me and now I will do the same to them, they will pay for what they did to me.

What exactly did they do to you...

Who are you to speak? And what do you want?

I am the inner you, the part of you not controlled, I'm the part of you that is able to see the light....

What light?

Exactly, you can't see it, your in a world filled with darkness. Get out of there, it will take you over, you will never be able to see the light again...

Thank you for worrying about me mother, shut up and let me control my own life

Don't say I didn't warn you...

Okay I won't

Normal p.o.v

Sky watched as the gummi ship landed, watched as the unfamiliar people stepped out.

She wasn't wearing her normal clothes.

Now she wore a black tank top with the words Imaginary Soul in white and it had a hood on back. She wore jean shorts, that made her show more skin then usual and black finger-less gloves were placed on her hands and a silver chain was around her neck with a key that shimmered more then anything.

The metal bands were still on and she still wore her white headband. Her katana was in nowhere near her for Sephiroth took it from her in the beginning, a gun hung at her side, and in her hand were a few shruikens(A/N: for any you who don't know what shruikens are, they are the little star throwing thingy's that ninja's use).

She was no ninja, but she had learned how to use them somehow, she couldn't remember who taught her.

Her thoughts were broken when she felt a pair of arms go around her waist. She made no reaction of being afraid or caring.

"Why do you have to go and fight those guys, beautiful?" She didn't turn, she knew who it was. She disconnected his arm's off of her waist. For some reason, it didn't feel right.

"Leave me alone, I will work alone. Go look at yourself in a mirror or something, if your lucky, it'll brake" Sky replied, jumping down from the balcony to a lower level. Blaze didn't bother going after her. "She'll come around eventually, they always do" Blaze said.

~~~~~~~

Sky's p.o.v

I got away from the stupid idiot. He may have an interest in me, but I think he's better off with mother for I have no interest in him. Why, I don't know but my heart seem's to reject him for another......even I don't know who. So much for following my heart. So these people finally decided to move, guess I'll start in the grave yard. Good, my first target.

Normal p.o.v

Everyone had split up, Leon & Cloud went into the grave yard (A/N: yeah, let's just say I'm gonna make up what his castle looks like.), Sora and Kairi went to try and find an entrance, and Riku and Aerith stayed where they were so that they could inform Leon & Cloud, when Sora & Kairi found an entrance.

~~~~~~~

Leon & cloud weren't afraid at what they saw, nor were they surprised. They knew Sephiroth killed innocent people, but they didn't know he had a graveyard full of them. Leon went near the tombstones, kneeling down to look at one in particular. One which was newly put in.

Here lies the one who drowned in darkness, searching for a soul. But never finding one, for she was always alone.

Here lies Sky Ariana Jenova may this lost soul rest in peace.

R.I.P

There, left the cold ground was a bouquet of dead black roses

Leon was confused, he only knew one Sky, but this couldn't be the same one.....could it? Besides, he didn't know any of her blood lines, or family, so he wasn't sure if this was the same Sky.

"Leon, look out!" he suddenly heard Cloud yell. He looked up, but was to late as a shruiken hit his shoulder. It cut open his leather jacket & went through his shirt, also cutting his skin.

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and It's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain If I will It all away

"What was that?" Leon asked, clutching his shoulder. The wound wasn't deep, but to him it hurt like hell.

"More like who was that" Cloud replied, not believing what he saw.

There right in front of there eye's was Sky, but she seemed different. So hallow, so empty, so....lifeless. That's when they saw her eye's, crimson, like blood, also hollow & dead. She slowly walked near them, another shiruiken in her hand.

"What the fuck" Leon whispered, as he saw that Sky was not herself. "Sky, It's us, your friends....Leon and Cloud" said Cloud, thinking she would remember. It wasn't working though, Sky's mind was not in her control, nor were her actions.

"Friends?! Friends?! I have no friends, nor do I have time for them, they make me weak. I was not taught to be weak, I was taught not to trust those who cannot be trusted" she said in a voice, which was also empty, filled with no emotion what so ever.

"You were taught wrong!" Leon shouted, not believing what he was hearing. "I don't know you, I never did & I don't care who you are. It's to late to turn back, you will both die by my hands" Sky replied, walking closer to Leon.

Don't turn away

Don't give into the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eye's

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep Never die

"You may not give into the pain that I'll give you, but don't close your eye's, for that's exactly when you'll die" Sky said, grabbing a pocket knife from her pocket (A/N: Were else would it be).

"I'll make sure, you'll see what I see, exactly no light" she yelled, as she plunged at Leon with the knife in her hand.

Leon awaited the pain with his eye's closed, but for some reason, it never came. He opened his eye's to see that Riku was in front of him, holding Sky's risks with both hands, her knife was only inches away from cutting Riku. Everyone else was there too.

"What are you doing?!" he asked, struggling to hold her down. "Trying to kill you all, give you all eternal sleep. To feel what I felt all my life, dead, lifeless, and empty." she whispered, her hollow eyes showing sadness.

"Why do you seem so vague, yet so....familiar" she asked in a soft whisper that was barely edible, her struggling getting softer, to the point where he didn't have to hold her down. He bent down and whispered in her ear. "Because you know me, love" he said, taking her hand in his.

She took a step back, her thoughts mixed between what she now felt & why she was feeling it, the truth was...she was confused. Her crimson eye's slowly went back to the soft silver, as she slowly dropped the knife in her hand. She looked over to Leon and the others, knowing that she was the one that caused them pain.

She looked up at Riku, her silver eye's never leaving his aqua ones. "I'm afraid?" she whispered. "There's much more to come, It's not over" she whispered, as tears threatened to fall.

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain If I will It all away

She forced the tears away, she fell to the floor on her knees, clutching her stomach. "Go, leave me here. It's not safe to stay." she said, coughing vigorously. Riku tried to help her, but she denied his help and everyone else's. "We cant just leave you here" Aerith said, worrying over Sky's current condition.

"I said go! I'm still under Sephiroth control, you cant save me, I'll betray you. Leave me to die and your lives will still be lived" Sky yelled.

Riku picked her up bridal style and ran they all ran. "What are you doing! You must be crazy to think you can save me" Sky said. "Yeah, I'm crazy for you. My life isn't worth living without you and if your not with me I'd rather not live" Riku whispered in her ear. Her eye's softened, but then she glared at him.

"I cant believe Im saying this but, you wanna know how to get me back to normal without me killing you and the guys in the end?" she asked him.

"Yeah" he replied, nodding his head. *THEN PUT ME DOWN!* (A/N: She's just being unreasonable) she screamed in her mind. "Kill Sephiroth" was all she said. "This is gonna be harder then I thought" Riku said, putting her down, as they began to run to the entrance.

Sky lead them to the giant door, and opened it. "Now how come we didn't see this before" Sora asked as they entered the castle. "Because you probably took the wrong way. We cant turn away now, be careful. You don't know what lies behind these doors." Sky said.

Don't turn away

Don't give into the pain

Don't try to hide

Though they're screaming your name

Don't close your eyes

God knows what lies behind them

Don't turn out the light

Never sleep Never die

They walked up so many stairs, it felt like there legs were going to fall off. "Are we there yet?" Sora asked. Sky looked like she was about to kick his ass. "For the 56th, no!"

About three minutes later they reached a giant door, Sky opened it and they all went inside.

Sky and the others came face to face with Sephiroth. "I knew you would turn on me, but I won't kill you just yet. I will give you a chance to try and kill me, if you fail, I shall kill you. Your friends can also help, but I don't think it will make a difference" he said. Sky watched as the metal bands on her arms came off and disappeared into thin air and her katana came into her own hands.

This will be a fair fight, prepare to die" he yelled as he lunged at her with his long sword. She blocked most of his attacks, only gaining a few cuts here and there. She was fast but not fast enough, for there speed was similar, him being just a little bit faster.

"You want to know something?" he said as he lunged at her again. "What?" She asked, as she blocked his attack, but her hand slipped and her katana fell to the ground and slid away from her.

"I marked your grave, thats exactly were I'll put you when you lose this fight and die because of it" he replied, as he grabbed her by the neck, making it harder for her to breathe.

"Leave her alone!" Screamed Kairi, as tears spilled from her eye's. "What are you doing?" Sky struggled to say. He let go of her, and in one flick of his risk, Kairi was replaced by Sky.

"This is my fight, leave her out of this" Sky yelled, glaring at him.

Sephiroth took his sword and plunged it at Kairi, she waited for the pain to come, but it didn't. She opened her eye's to see Sky's blood dripping on the floor. She realized that Sky had taken the hit for her, blocking her from getting hurt.

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eye's

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me shall I give In

Upon my end shall I begin

Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end
