Zen-Aku drew the Elephant Flail and slowly began spinning it in his hand, before jamming on the throttle, the bike beneath him roaring into life as he charged straight towards the Dragon. Meanwhile, Taivas mushed the Chocobo, it letting out a loud "KWEH!!!" Before launching into the air. Yuna went left, pulling a pair of pistols and laying down covering fire. Rikku leapt onto the back of the Chocobo, while Paine jumped onto the motorbike. Philip jumped in front as the jet of green flames lashed at them, the Shield of Hope knocking the torrent out of the way as his steed strode towards Maleficent. As Zen-Aku hit a ramp in the road the bike soared into the air, Paine jumped off the back and slashing for the neck, her sword dragging along the titanium-tough scales, sparks flying off as Maleficent let out a hearty laugh at this puny assault, but was caught a little offguard as the Elephant Flail lashed for her stomach, a quick flick of the tail sent it flying backwards towards Yuna. Jumping over it, she sent a volley of bullets from her pistols at the dragon, pinging harmlessly off of the black scales.

Maleficent reared her head back for another jet of flame, only to be struck in the mouth by a Blizzard spell from Taivas, Rikku jumping off the back of the Chocobo, landing on the back of Maleficents head and sliding down the back with her daggers keeping her descendt at a managable speed, but still being unable to penetrate the scales. Pulling her daggers away, she managed to balance to her feet as the tail came into view, she slid off the end, flying through the air, 3 somersaults, just as Zen-Aku landed behind her on the motorbike, the bike sliding in the dirt sideways as he put his foot down to bring it to a halt, Payne landed next to him, with Rikku landing on the back of the bike and Taivas astride the Chocobo landing next to them. Maleficent quickly whipped her head around looking for Philip, only to catch sight as the prince made his way towards the castle.

[color=39b54a]"Very clever!"[/color] She laughed in her booming, serpentine voice, before her green eyes turned pitch black and the wind picked up. The sky above them started to darken, behind them, a swarm of heartless began crawling out of every shadow, only being picked up by the wind.

[color=fff79a]"SHE'S SUMMONING A DEMON TOWER!!!"[/color] Rikku screamed over the din of the winds.

[color=00aeef]"Then we stop her, keep her attention here!"[/color] Taivas growled. Paine looked around for a second.

[color=silver]"Wait... Where's Yuna?"[/color] She asked, just as she saw Yuna glowing a bright light, before exploding out of it in her Berzerker outfit, running up the back of the dragon, with her claws, she launched herself upwards. Zen-Aku quickly stuck out his hand and a bolt of lightning blasted into Maleficents chest to keep her attention on him. As Maleficent looked down and opened her mouth, Yuna once again disappeared into her Dressphere, before appearing in her Alchemist outfit, a large gun in her hand. Maleficent's throat glowed with that eerie green flame as it came bubbling up, but then spotted Yuna falling in front of her. The fairy winked to the dragon before blasting a grenade down her throat. As the dull boom rang out from the surprised dragon, the winds died and the Demon Tower she was attempting to form simply scattered the heartless to the winds. Yuna landed gracefully as the Dragon stumbled back a bit, Rikku and Paine rushing to her.

[color=fff79a]"Great going, Yunnie."[/color] Rikku high-fived her as they met up. But the dragon was already back up and snarling at them.

[color=39b54a]"You know, if i didn't know the satisfaction i would get from destroying you all and watching Philip suffer again, i might be almost annoyed by that. Now, allow me a witty retort."[/color] She sighed, before another torrent of green fire started blasting at the party. The party scattered like bugs, the roar of engines and the Kweh! of the Chocobo as they all darted away. Unfortunately, as Zen-Aku was so focussed on dodging the fire that the tail whipping around caught him and sent him flying from the bike. The bike roared as it spun off into a ditch and Zen tumbled, landing on his feet, he summoned his Cresent Moon Blade, before spinning and sending 3 energy shockwaves from his sword at the dragon, but it bounced harmlessly off the impenetrable scales.

[color=silver]"Your cresent moon blade is forged from darkness, only a weapon of light can pierce her hide."[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"And you couldn't have told me that BEFORE i handed that to Philip?"[/color] He grunted, before getting the knife out and putting the Elephant sphere in it, the Flail forming again. It was the only weapon he had that came close to a weapon of light. He could at least keep her attention on him. [color=bc8dbf]"Taivas, you'll have to use your Keyblade!"[/color] He yelled, running towards Maleficent. Taivas grunted, he wasn't quite sure how to handle this. He had been trying to harness the powers of darkness because of how strong they made him... And now he was being forced into using something else. Looking down at his Keyblade, he gripped the Keyblade hard, before lashing the reins of the Chocobo and it set off at a charge towards Maleficent. She chuckled as she looked at his stern face.

[color=39b54a]"Oh look,"[/color] She giggled. [color=39b54a]"He thinks he has broken free from me completely."[/color] She let out a laugh as the Chocobo leapt into the air. Taivas jumped off the back to the Chocobo and leapt to drive the Keyblade directly into her heart. Maleficents eyes glowed a purple energy as a black aura surrounded Taivas as he was suddenly held in mid-air [i][color=39b54a]"He has no strings to hold him down, to make him fret, to make him frown."[/color][/i] She sang, before throwing him into the path of another grenade coming from Yuna. The explosion tore Taivas' cloak and he let a scream of pain loose from his lips [i][color=39b54a]"He one had strings, but thinks he's free. The strings are still held by me..."[/color][/i] She hissed, levatating him towards her jaws, which opened up to reveal a green light ready to barbeque him. But suddenly, the mouth clamped shut as a chain from the Elephant Flail wrapped around it as Zen-Aku landed on her head and pulled it taught. sliding around her neck to get even more leverage, he planted his boots firmly between the spines running down her back and pulled.

[color=bc8dbf]"STRIKE HER NOW!!!"[/color] Zen-Aku ordered. With a roar, Taivas wrenched himself free from the black aura that surrounded him and launched himself straight towards her heart. Jamming the Keyblade straight into the scales, Maleficent let out a muffled scream of pain, before grabbing Zen-Aku with her tail and swinging him back around her neck to unwrap him, before batting him down towards Taivas. Taivas was able to get one more good stab in before the Duke Org collided with his alley and they both tumbled to the ground. Zen-Aku got the pair of them up and they stared down the dragon. Maleficent looked around, not seeing YRP, before chuckling.

[color=39b54a]"Oh look, your fairies have abandoned you."[/color] She giggled. [color=39b54a]"They have the sense to flee before they are destroyed. Go, Taivas. Run away. Run back to your little island and rot away in safety from me."[/color] She laughed long and loud. Zen-Aku looked at Taivas, who looked back at his friend. They may not have grown up together, like his friends from the island, but after all this time, after these battles, he felt he knew this wolf demon as well as any of the others.

[color=00aeef]"Zen-Aku... If you want to go to protect Dotty, i don't blame you... Let me take her."[/color] He said.

[color=6ecff6]"Not on your nelly, Han!"[/color] Dotty's spectral form yelled at him. [color=6ecff6]"We're a team. Poodlewolf, Han the Handsome and Dotty the Great Bardess!!!"[/color] She yelled. [color=6ecff6]"NOW GET OUT THERE AND KNOCK HER BLINKIN' BLOCK INTO NEXT WEEK!!!"[/color] In a flash, the Songstress costume on her seemed to transform to become more glam. Her hair gaining pink, blond and green streaks.

[i][color=6ecff6]"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"[/color][/i] She let out a scream of defiance as Taivas and Zen both felt themselves suddenly feeling the fatigue lifting from them a little. Maleficent rolled her eyes.

[i][color=6ecff6]"When you need a hero to protect the place you live.
Fighting monsters all around, trying to get within.
Awesome powers, no surrender,
Heroes never fall.
Look to the skies as they arrive when you hear this calllllllll!!"[/color][/i]

As The pair charged again, Zen swung the flail around as Taivas jumped, landing on the ball as Zen sent it flying towards her.

[i][color=6ecff6]"GO, KEYBARERS!
FLY, KEYBARERS!
WIN, KEYBARERS! HERE WE GO!
GO, KEYBARERS!
FLY, KEYBARERS!
WIN, KEYBARERS!
GO, FLY, WIN, FLY, GO!"[/color][/i]

Maleficent let out a loud roar that sent all of them tumbling back and interrupting the song. [color=39b54a]"ENOUGH OF YOUR INCIPD SONGS!!!"[/color] She roared, before letting out a belch of fire at Dotty's spectral form. Both Zen and Taivas immediately jumping back in the way, swinging both flail and blade around to deflect the plume of fire. [color=39b54a]"YOU CAN'T JUST SING A SONG AND RALLY A COMEBACK! I AM THE ULTIMATE POWER IN THIS UNIVERSE AND YOU HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE OF MAKING YOURSELF NO LONGER ENTERTAINING!!! NOW PERISH!!!"[/color] She screamed as the flames intensified. A second later, a loud explosion rang out, Maleficent turned her head around to see the top tower of Stefan's castle exploding in a radiant bright light. [color=39b54a]"NO THE CURSE!!! THAT CUR BROKE IT!!!"[/color] She roared. As the light lanced into the sky, suddenly, a large, bright white rose appeared in the light, flying towards the Dragon, as the rose petals peeled back, it revealed Aurora in a [url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0T-yUlwxjcA/maxresdefault.jpg]Brilliant white dress, with Philip on her arm[/url], the 3 fairies surrounded Aurora. Maleficent giggled, then laughed, then reared up and let out a long, deep, hearty laugh.

[color=39b54a]"The prince and his magic sword... Is nothing... Your pathetic Dressphere... Equally nothing... Your Duke Org and his pitiful pup... Cannot even hurt me... Your "Champion of Darkness" Is more laughable than anything... Those 3 fairies... Nothing... But all of you together... Might make me break a sweat if i cared to show you my true power... But i have better things to do... Yes, it's about time that i made tracks to deal with that."[/color] She pointed at Aurora. [color=39b54a]"Know this, princess. You have won this round, but once my plan is complete, you will be nothing more than a plaything for me to destroy and rebuild at my leisure. Enjoy your time with your prince, what little you have."[/color] And in a puff of smoke, she disappeared.

Dotty poked her head back up. [color=6ecff6]"D... Did we win?"[/color] She asked, before Zen took the mask off and Dotty collapsed in a heap on the ground, absolutely exhausted.
