Bonus Event; Sephiroth's Invitation

First topic message reminder :

In the vacuum of Sephiroth moving at 'Godspeed' were after images of himself that moved as barely visible time displacements that Tensei would be able to follow in between the sight of the crowd, along with the words, "... I hope you didn't think this was over..." Though Sephiroth wanted no fight to the death with Tensei any longer, he certainly wouldn't let their fight end with just the 'warmup,' so to speak. "... Now that we've established your strength..." Each after image, wherever it was, would have a piece of Sephiroth's message which was and would be completely garbled and jumbled unless Tensei legitimately decoded the completely correct order in which the after images had been left. Getting a word wrong would cause him to waste time and possibly lose Sephiroth in the process. "How about we see how truly skilled you are, at this level...?"

Sephiroth drew his blade from the depths of the cloud with a mighty, swift lash, of which to strike at Overlord Tensei's Crystal Blade that was not near him, yet stretch over the span of as many were planted among the string of reality premeditated. Wherever Sephiroth's blade should hit, simultaneously, so would it crash into the game board repeatedly, sending forth more of the blistering afterimages that ever kept turbulence among the terrain to throw Overlord Tensei off balance, and also to quake the entire cloud as though it were earth. The rolling thunder that burst every time Seraph Sephiroth's blade struck the cloud would continue to spontaneously generate more Sephiroth images for Overlord Tensei to fight.

Should Seraph Sephiroth's blade not touch the ground, and instead meet with Overlord Tensei's blade, on contact, another premeditated strike would lash at the larger body of Overlord Tensei with the same ferocity. Down below, the actual Sephiroth could not actually be seen, but his presence as the Darkness passed by was still felt, like the stinging heat of the lashes of his blade, which still created the blasts of heat when they moved, even if the Burning Masamune itself did not touch the arena again. Seraph Sephiroth looked on, finding this to still be a Samurai style engagement, even in spite of the ascent. It was indeed holy. He only continued to observe quietly, not making any extra sudden movements.

Seraph Sephiroth pivoted his blade within the field and slashed through the area, cutting off Tensei completely from the entire arena in one blow, and drew his blade back as Seraph Sephiroth's black wing reshaped to its normal size and form, and the cloud that had been severed became his six seraphic wings below him. Seraph Sephiroth now had dominion over the entire board, itself, and also flickered several spaces beyond Tensei in the sky, leaving only puffs of smoke that became the clouds in his afterimage, something like a smoke trail.

Meanwhile, whilst Seraph Sephiroth had total dominion over the board, he would have left in the wake of the swipe of his sword that had cut off the area a line of flickering Sephiroths that were the actual vacuous force of the Godspeed blade. Each of them came at Overlord Tensei from a different angle and in a different manner than before, but all striking at Overlord Tensei in what seemed like temporal displacements, yet somehow simultaneously in sequence. The slashes of the blade could not be seen, but when an image came to a halt, it would be only a split flickering second that it could be glimpsed before it was in motion again with the next swipe, only to be seen when halting and not a step before a movement was made.

When Tensei drew so near, the resounding crackle of what was like a bolt of lightning would brace Sephiroth's neck for impact, with his blade drawing between it and Overlord Tensei's twin blades crossing at his neck.  With a quick thrust, of which carried a gleaming edge that illuminated the darkness, Sephiroth's silhouette was left flickering out as the light faded.

Simultaneously, Tensei should have found that Sephiroth's face was dipped partially into the streaming clouds, though as if it had just come up from out of a pool. Yet, as Seraph Sephiroth thrust himself back from the blades that were at his neck, he would also slit the clouds gently once again, separating himself from the stormy cloud that was Tensei, who was in quite the mood. Sephiroth was no more, and now, Seraph Sephiroth drew his blade back with precision, as if marking where he were going to strike Overlord Tensei, who had not been drawn back. The moment Seraph Sephiroth found the exact mark, the tip of his blade flickered down to the exact spot that Overlord Tensei was still standing, simultaneously thrusting into the cloudy body of Tensei as an area. An eruption of light would burst forth from the edges of the blade on impact, igniting from any sort of friction as an explosion of pure light. "Open The Gate."

The gleam of Seraph Sephiroth's eyes was equivalent to the edge of his blade that arced through the sky like lightning, carrying with it the vaporous cloud that was his body, serving as a sort of veil behind him. The clashing of two swords together would be like the two streaking bolts of lightning scraping against each other and the residual slashes in between as the rippling bolts of lightning surging over the electric cloud that covered the arena. There descending from the eye of the storm that had suddenly spiraled open would be the One-Winged Angel, himself hurdling down like a bolt of lightning from the sky. "To The Promised Land..."

The single pierce of the ground not only met with and halted Overlord Tensei's advancement right at the blade, but also caused a seal to spread over the entire platform that opened up a pitch black realm with a forceful burst of light, something similar to how a lockpick and a keyhole function, except with the mechanics of light and darkness. "... The Door To Darkness..." Sephiroth fell into the shadows, as the door began to seal up behind him.

Where the two swords of the gods met is where both presences would depart in the same flash of lightning that was their epic and climactic clash. Their swords were certain to connect at least one last time before they both entered the gate into Kingdom Hearts through the Door To Darkness.
