Riku swung The Way To Dawn, but Sora parried with Kingdom Key. The force of the impact drew sparks and knocked Sora off-balance. Before Riku could take advantage, Sora back flipped to the beach. In mid-air, Riku leaped at him and swung his blade. Sora managed a parry, but he was at an akward angle, and he couldn't hold on to his keyblade. It swung in a wide ark and embedded itself in the sand. Sora landed in the sand hard, and his hands and feet marked the sand deeply. Sora hopped back as Riku took a swipe at him. Then he rolled backward, Riku's blade only scrathing the sand. Instead of coming up again, Sora rolled backward again as Riku charged, but then he rolled forward, cathing Riku off guard and going under his blade. He grabbed Riku round the waist and wrentched him to the ground. Riku laughed as be bounded into the sand. Sora turned to run to his keyblade, but Riku grabbed his ankle, and Sora fell. Sora turned and gave Riku's blade a kick. It spun away from Riku, creating a strange pattern in the sands.

"Riku, Sora, Hey!"

Riku and Sora got up and brushed themselves off, then grinned at Kairi. Kairi grinned back to Sora. And only Sora. When Sora turned and ran to his blade, Riku glared at him. Then he turned to his own blade. He bent down to pick up The Way To Dawn.

Sora ran to his keyblade and bent down to pick it up, but drew his hand back as a corridor of darkness opened right infront of him, between Sora and the blade. A cloaked figure stepped out, and looked down on Sora. "Roxas?" Sora asked. The cloaked figure nodded. Then he drew back his foot and kicked Sora in the face. Sora splayed out on the sand, and hot blood ran down his face. He tried to say "Roxas!?" but blood ran into his throat, and it sounded like "Rofbig!?" The cloaked figure nodded, slowly, then drew Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He clashed the two, igniting sparks, then swung his blade down at Sora. Sora threw himself back on his hands, then shot his feet at Roxas' face, on a handstand. Shoe hit face as The Figure stumbled backward. Sora leaped to his feet and ran to The Figure, grabbing him round the waiste and flinging him to the floor, as he had done with Riku. But The Figure's knee shot out, and it gave him support. Sora's grip failed and he flung into the knee, more blood sprouting from his face. Sora stumbled backward. The Figure advanced and he shut his eyes in pain.

He heard more footsteps. He tasted his own blood. He smelt it, too. He opened his eyes, and saw Roxas, his hood down, slash Sora's cheast with Oathkeeper. Then his vision was couded by blood. His blood. He soared through the air and felt the sand as he hit it. He felt the pain. He felt the keyblade melt away in his hand. And he heard Kairi scream his name from a little way away. Then-

Nothing.

There was nothing left when Kairi reached him.
