There's a single badass beholding all of this in Onyxis, standing atop a tall mountain and watching with his arms folded.

The Reach, Sky Haven Temple

Ben sits in quiet meditation before the sleeping quarters' roaring fireplace, reflecting on his connection to the Force, among other things. That is, until an unpleasantly familiar chill icier than Hoth runs up his spine. Such a disturbance could only mean one thing: Laxin and his legions were preparing to take action.

Getting to his feet, Ben begins hurrying to where he'd parked his speeder bike, only to come to a halt moments after leaving the sleeping quarters. He would have to face the same Sith Lord who'd devastated Whiterun using only the Force, but now had monsters capable of challenging both Terra and Aqua at his disposal. A Sith who, in all likelihood, could probably match the Emperor himself in terms of power.

"I... I don't know if I can do this," he murmurs, regardless of whether or not the others were around. "But I can't allow the Empire to run amuck..."

He looks around at the temple's corridors, conflicted and ashamed of his own fear.

Sky Haven Temple

Terra and Aqua emerge into the temple halls.

"This overwhelming presence of dread..."

"I know. It's bad news. The Unversed could start to appear from this calamity."

"Hold on, that's Ben over there."

The two rush towards the Jedi Knight.

Ben snaps out of his fear-induced paralysis upon noticing Aqua and Terra approaching him. He breathes a quiet sigh of relief.

"You both sensed it too, didn't you? Laxin is preparing to launch his next assault," he says. "And I doubt he intends to limit his wrath to a single city this time."

"Right. But I'm not worried about Laxin right now, I'm worried about you."

   "As you should be,"    a voice interjects, seemingly coming from all around them. It sounds like a child's voice, but also in a mocking, hateful tone.

"..." Terra's expression has suddenly turned into a grim masque of rage.

   "That's right, get angry, Terra. Your hatred and your friend's fear... they give me strength. As do the negative emotions of everyone witnessing Laxin's little party up there."   

"Stay calm," Aqua warns.

"I'm trying," Terra quietly replies.

Akainu frowns and make himself lava before shooting forth at absurd speed in the distance, forming a wide lava projectile that cross a wide distance in an arc.

Before he could give Terra a reply, Ben hears the childlike, yet sinister voice echoing around him and his friends. Unclipping the lightsaber that dangled from his belt, he looks around for the source of the taunting.

"Whoever we're dealing with, he sounds almost exactly like a Sith Lord. But it seems like you have something of a personal history with him, Terra," he says, recalling how uncharacteristically angry Terra had been when he shattered Palpatine's heart. "Might he be an associate of Xehanort's?"

"There were three of us," Aqua explains. "Me, Terra, and a boy named Ventus. Anti-Aqua was my darkness, Xehanort was Terra's darkness..."

There's an eruption of dark energy that shoots into the sky, acting like a 'come here and fight' beacon, as Vanitas reveals himself.    "And I'm Ventus's. Call me Vanitas."   

"So then where's Ventus?"

   "Pffffhahahahah! You think I know that? I've been loitering around this world since he, Sora and Aqua last defeated me. I'd have expected him to come along with you."   

He summons his Keyblade, Void Gear.    "But what I do know is I'm going to relish the look on his face when I bring him your heads."

As Vanitas reveals himself to the trio, Ben thumbs his lightsaber's activation switch and takes up a fighting stance, his face illuminated by the glowing blue blade.

"You won't get the chance to, Vanitas. Not if I have anything to say about it."

He throws out a hand in an attempt to send Vanitas flying with a Force Push.

As he arrives, Akainu doesn't get what's going on, because the lore of Kingdom Hearts is so complex the fight will be over by the time he's made it to the quarter-point.

HOWEVER! He has gathered that the guy with the dark energy and clothes is probably the bad guy. That doesn't mean he's fighting good guys, but that's for later. Stepping unto the fight as a giant magma projectile, Akainu crash down, then reforms into a stocky man and immediately punch at the evil clone with an enormous magma fist.

DIE!

Vanitas calmly raises a hand, using dark energy to negate Ben's Force Push...

but this leaves him wide open to Akainu's punch.    "Wha-!?"   

He gets Punched Across the Room, evidently not having expected outside interference. Tumbling to a halt, he shoots waves of darkness around wildly.

Terra and Aqua create barriers with their Keyblades, then rush through the barriers for a tandem stab at Vanitas.

Ben leaps over the oncoming waves of darkness, grips his lightsaber with both hands, and goes for a descending slash at Vanitas alongside Terra and Aqua.

Akainu raise his arms to shield himself from the darkness but it drives him back, as he bleed some blobs of magma. He raise an eyebrow, perhaps not getting how he was hurt, but decide not to hyper-focus.

Instead, he decides to pull his arm back and cover it with magma, though he look upward, as if he's going to punch the sky... and he does, but in a manner that hurl a lot of tiny magma fists at the enemy, aiming to overwhelm him with an attack that trade precision for power and tenacity.

From the heavens above, Angel herself descends, having seen the ray that struck the sky. She is wingless and wearing a suit and tie, for whatever reason.

Deep down, she can feel it. A shadow encroaching, something strange and stirring. She knows not from where it came, nor where it is going, but it intrigues her. It is a force that feels... familiar, in a way. And besides, these people are familiar to her. She knows who is who... but not who is on the right side. No, she can't know, not yet, and even if she did, her intervention could lead to catastrophe at the slightest mistake. Like using a nuke to deter bank robbers, the relative consequences for a fuck up were too high to consider. She could split... But no. Observation was the goal, and neither Pyra nor Mythra could come close to the same level of understanding as she could.

And so, she stands to the side.

Maybe she could offer commentary?

No, that would be rude.

Yatta!

The triple strike pierces Vanitas, and he goes reeling back. Ben's lightsaber in particular cuts open Vanitas' suit, causing dark smoke to leak out before it quickly seals back up.

   "Rgh... Very clever. But I can keep up with four of you just fine."   

Vanitas summons a swarm of Floods, which soak up the magma rain before blitzing the group with slashes from their whip-like arms. Meanwhile, Vanitas himself rides the wave of bodies, rushing to clash with Ben one-on-one.

Terra swings his Keyblade around him to strike down the Floods, while Aqua casts ice magic to freeze any that come near.

Flourishing his lightsaber, Ben meets Vanitas' charge head-on and raises his weapon to meet his Keyblade, engaging the dark warrior in an intense Blade Lock.

"Army of darkness or not, you must realize that unless you're carrying Laxin in your pocket, you're not going to emerge victorious from this battle."

During the struggle, he attempts to hit Vanitas in the stomach with an open palm strike.

Akainu rushes headlong into his half of the horde and try to melt through them, becoming a literal Lava Man and taking a leap forward, spreading his arms to try to extend his range while doing so. Needless to say, this is very damaging, if straightfoward, and he reforms forth a few meters later.

Angel stands in place, stepping out of the way of anything that comes near her.

Army of darkness... weird army. The wording briefly confuses her, making her anticipate something... bigger? But she catches up.

Angel continues to observe, not making any offensive moves, and barely moving for defense either, only as necessary. The Floods, for any efforts they make, can't seem to hit her. She isn't moving particularly fast, either, she just seems to always be a step ahead.

Vanitas stumbles back, but retaliates in kind with a simple sideways kick.

The Floods are Mook-tier trash, easily dealt with. The problem is that more and more just keep coming.

Terra breaks away from the flood of Floods to help Ben, attempting to intercept Vanitas with a divekick clad in swirling light.

The kick connects, knocking Ben back. In retaliation, he telekinetically seizes a chair from the chamber containing Alduin's Wall and launches it towards Vanitas.

Akainu spots this, but he also knows that three on one is already a fair match and that he has enough gas in the tank to go on for a while.

I'll kill them! Focus on the evil-doer! He barks, clearly not intending to take any protest back. Then, as he turns around, he focus and fire a series of magma fists, intending to smother the mooks with a hoard of lava attacks that melt into a lava pool, perhaps blocking progression and forcing them to funnel somewhere else.

Akainu doesn't seems to be worried about his stamina. He just keep firing his attacks, letting it rain magma fists.

As the mooks continue to pile up, Angel doesn't seem to become any more troubled. Really, it's almost like they're barely even there.

The level of skill she is displaying is hard to really understand just looking at it. Hell, it's hard to describe properly. By all means, under a common understanding of what skill is, there should be a point at which no amount of skill matters anymore because there's just too many opponents, but for her, that doesn't seem to apply, at least not yet.

Though actually understanding this by looking at her would be difficult. She is, after all, not actually doing much at all.

Vanitas blocks Terra and Ben's attacks with his Keyblade, getting pushed back but not knocked down.

The Floods leap right into their destruction at Akainu's hands so recklessly you'd think they were eager to die. Eventually, new ones stop appearing.

Vanitas growls and looks around the room. He points his Keyblade at Angel.    "Are you seriously just gonna jump and dance around the place and do nothing else? Spineless."   

"Like you're one to lecture others on cowardice," Aqua interjects.

   "Hey, at least I'm fighting."    Vanitas dives into a splotch of darkness on the floor and slides behind the heroes, then springs up, scattering dark fireballs in a shower akin to Akainu's own magma rain from earlier. He then dives back down, slides towards Angel, and does it again over her position, before coming down at Akainu with a plummeting slash!

Terra and Aqua are besieged by the dark orbs, putting them on the defensive and unable to retaliate.

Angel watches this fellow lecture her on sitting back and doing nothing, and wonders if she left the oven on somewhere.

She doesn't respond to their comments, instead she continues to watch. When Vanitas springs up behind her, she dodges the coming barrage with the same ease as before, watching as they dive in for a slash at Akainu.

Ben joins up with Terra and Aqua, raises his lightsaber, and begins deflecting the becoming storm of dark orbs alongside them. Occasionally, he bats several of said orbs back at Vanitas.

"I noticed that his armor seemed especially vulnerable to my lightsaber," he says to the pair. "Are certain weapons more effective at piercing it than others?"
