Chapter 6: The Advisor from the Sands Learns from the Other Half
(First off, after playing Jamil's book, I knew he and Roxas would get along rather well. Second off, this is basically Roxas saying, "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to go insane?!". Do I regret this? No. Was it fun? Yes. I actually planned to have Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie show up, but I couldn't make it work. Enjoy!)
"That was painful" Jamil confessed as he groaned and found himself laying on the sandy floor of a city.
"Jamil!" Kalim shouted in relief before falling to hug him!
Jamil grunted in pain as he pulled himself and Kalim up while rolling his eyes to let his dorm leader embrace him.
"I told you he was fine. Nothing can stop my big brother" Najma's voice spoke as she sat next to them with a cheeky expression.
"What are you doing here anyway?!" Jamil exclaimed as he effortlessly pushed Kalim off him to then grab his little sister's shoulders.
"It was supposed to be a surprise at the meeting" Najma said as she held a deadpanned expression similar to her older brother's.
"Oh! It was supposed to be a surprise!" Kalim exclaimed as he sat up with a bright expression, "The school wanted another magical student to attend for a week to report to other schools about it! I recommended your little sister! As for right now, she's a freshman!"
Jamil's eyes were wide with many thoughts running through his mind. As for emotions, it was a mixed between frustration and annoyance. Jamil was sure he was going to fall over with how fast his heartrate was, but Kalim stood up and dusted himself off with Najma also standing with him.
"Oh! Wow! This place reminds me of the beautiful princess and sand sorcerer!" Kalim exclaimed as his mind changed to the area around them with his hands behind his head.
Jamil could feel a headache approaching, but he stood up and observed their situation and understood what Kalim meant. This place bears a striking resemblance to the stories of the princess and the advisor.
"But that's just a fairy tale" Najma pointed out as she took out her phone, "That's not real. Aw, we don't have cell reception"
Jamil groaned at hearing that, but he looked around. There weren't many people where they were at. This was both good and bad. Good, because there weren't enemies around. Bad, because there was no one to help them, or force to help them.
"What should do?" Najma asked as she bounced on her feet with Jamil holding his chin.
He wasn't sure, but they needed to find a way back home. He wasn't sure how he was going to handle Kalim's obliviousness and his little sister's attention.
"Ah, hah!" Kalim exclaimed as he saw a few barrels and pots and climbed it.
Jamil's eyes were wide as he watched Kalim climb. Kalim then climbed up a shop and crawled on top of the cloth. He was able to reach the top of the store to then reach a second floor of a stony, gold building. He grinned before standing up to get a better view of the place.
"What are you doing?! Giving me a heart attack?! You know if you get hurt, it is my head on the chopping block, right?!" Jamil urged as Najma watched in awe.
"I know, I know!" Kalim reassured before turning to see another stony ledge.
He climbed it to then reach the third floor and dusted himself off. He finally had a better view of the place and gasped in awe. This place reminded him so much of his home!
"Jamil! Najma! This place is just like our home!" Kalim shouted happily before he stared in the distance and found the glittering white palace with golden, dome roofs, "Hey! I see my house!"
"What?!" Najma shouted in delight while Jamil was confused.
There was no way this place was the Scalding Sands. There are no port and the people seemed too vacant. This couldn't be there home, but this place also reminded him of their stories from childhood. No, something isn't right about this place at all. They have to find a way home before anything else happens.
"So, this is the palace Sora visited and helped the princess and thief, right?" Xion asked as she and Roxas were standing in front of it.
"Yeah, but it is a home to good friend of ours too. You didn't forget them, did you?" Roxas asked as he glanced to her.
"Of course not! Genie! Carpet! Are you here?!" Xion shouted as she cupped her hands around her mouth and called out to their friends.
Roxas let her do that while he was thinking of the reason they were sent to this world. While this world held connections to others, this was the place where he and Xion were sent to fight some of the most dangerous Heartless. He also accounted for their relationship to Genie and Carpet. That must play a part in this, right?
"Ah! If it isn't my favorite duo!" a loud, delighted voice echoed before appearing in a puff of blue, magical dust, "What brings you to our world? Wait! Don't tell me! Do the worlds need saving again? I honestly feel like you saved the worlds yesterday"
"I know, right?" Roxas replied a smirk as Xion asked, "Is there any trouble in Agrabah lately? Can we do anything to help?"
"Well, something did happen" Genie explained, "Aladdin and Jasmine were watching over lovely home, but then something cracked in the sky! They weren't sure it even was! I decided to examine it, believing it had to be Sora's doing. To my surprise, this wasn't the case at all"
Roxas was intrigued. Something strong enough to even allude Genie and cause a former Princess of Heart to worry? This must be a powerful foe!
"Did you find the source of this?" Roxas asked curiously as Xion noticed he was too excited about this suddenly.
"Yep! It came from the city! Aladdin and Jasmine were concerned, so they left with their people. They were going to have me deal with it or call for help! Luckily, I don't need to do one of those things!" Genie said with pride as he then bowed to his friends, "Because you're here! Now, how about we take care of this together?!"
"Yes, let's work together!" Xion said excitedly with Roxas still holding a smirk.
Oh, yeah. He was definitely sure that someone powerful was here, and he was going to fight that person. Though, he couldn't let Xion know otherwise she would try and stop him which would be boring. It has been a while since he was allowed to go all out in a fight. He smirked as he let Genie and Xion walk ahead while he walked behind them.
"Please think of me when you do anything dangerous" Jamil informed Kalim who jumped with a yell before landing before him and Najma.
"Sorry, but I wanted to be of some help" Kalim answered with his hands behind his head, "Besides, we have an idea of where to go at least!"
Jamil only sighed as Najma agreed with a grin of her own. She followed Kalim, but Jamil rushed to stand in front of them.
"At least let me walk in front of you two. You're both important" Jamil said simply as both smiled and nodded.
They continued to walk through the empty streets and observed their situations. This place did feel like home to them, but it also felt dreamlike. Regardless, Jamil remained on guard as Kalim was happily taking in the sights with Najma grinning.
Roxas and Xion were following Genie to the second-floor balcony and overlooked everything in Agrabah. They weren't seeing anything out of the ordinary, but they knew something wasn't right either. Xion couldn't put her finger on it while Roxas remained alert. He sensed an interesting darkness and wanted to find it before Genie and Xion did.
"Please stop wandering on your own, Kalim" Jamil's annoyed voice echoed as Roxas and Xion shared a glance.
"Is that it?" Roxas asked as he looked around for the source of the voices.
They found three students walking through the streets and trying to find anyone to help them. Najma groaned as she decided to sit down in the sandy streets.
"Why are you sitting down? We need to keep moving!" Jamil urged her strongly.
"Let me take a break" Najma complained, "We are in no rush. Plus, we're together, so I am sure everything is going to be ok"
She waved her hand in a reassuring tone as Kalim grinned and sat next to her!
"Why are you sitting down?!" Jamil shouted in a strained voice as Kalim only grinned.
"Well, your little sister is right! We don't have to return home in such a rush! We should take breaks, so that we are well rested and able to do this!" Kalim said excitedly as Jamil could feel a headache forming while shaking his head at them.
Of course, neither were going to listen to him now. He rubbed his head and sighed as he let them rest while he kept watch.
"Wow, why is big brother such a bore?" Najma said aloud as Jamil glared at her.
Kalim laughed and replied with a little sad expression, "Well, Jamil's just being cautious. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to us. He wants to make sure we are safe"
Najma hummed in understanding as Jamil glanced to them before sighing. He hoped they could find a magic mirror and return home quickly. He didn't want anything to happen to them. Especially since they were in an unknown place. Well, a little bit of a break wouldn't hurt. As long as no one is going to attack them.
"Is that the threat?" Roxas asked with a curious expression as he took notice of Jamil.
"Yep! That would be them!" Genie answered as Xion hummed when her eyes fell on Kalim.
"Is something wrong?" Roxas asked her as she shrugged to reply, "I am not sure if wrong is the right word I would use. The boy's power reminds me of Kairi's"
"Really?" Roxas asked with more interest in his voice as he was more intrigued to fight now more than ever.
"I am sure of it. That boy's power reminds me so much of Kairi's" Xion said as she turned to Genie, "Did you notice this?"
"Yep! That boy reminds me so much of the Sultan and Jasmine! That power also reminds me of Jasmine's as well! I didn't want to worry Al just yet. Especially since there might be explanation to all of this" Genie replied as he and Xion discussed how they should go about handling the situation with Roxas shaking his head.
He had enough of waiting around and not doing anything. He was going to act, right now! Roxas grabbed the stony wall, pulled himself over it, and free fell towards them! Genie's eyes were bugling out of their sockets while Xion grabbed the stony wall and looked over the edge in disbelief.
"Roxas!" she shouted as Roxas ignored her and landed before Kalim, Jamil, and Najma.
Kalim let out a wail as Najma screamed! Jamil was ready as he drew his magic pen and faced Roxas. Roxas picked himself up and grinned at Jamil's glare.
"Fascinating" Roxas whispered as he recalled, "You remind me of the advisor who caused quite the trouble here for the princess and thief"
Kalim grinned happily as he rushed to stand up and approach Roxas.
"Really?! We know that story too! Actually, our dorm is based on the advisor from the sands! I am Kalim and this is Jamil and Najma!" Kalim happily introduced as Roxas groaned.
It was less than five seconds, but Kalim reminded him so much of Sora that it annoyed him. Jamil let out a strangle yell before pulling Kalim behind him.
"What are you doing?!" Jamil exclaimed in harsh whisper.
"Asking for help and introducing ourselves!" Kalim answered simply, "We don't know where we are, and he knows something about this place! It would be better to ask for help from someone than wandering around aimlessly if you ask me!"
He put his hands on his hips with a bright smile that made both Roxas and Jamil groan at the sight of it.
Jamil turned his attention to Kalim to remind him, "And how do we know that he's not going to try and take your life? We must be cautious in a new place!"
This intrigued Roxas as he held a smirk. He could use that to his advantage if he wanted.
"Roxas do not do anything!" Xion said seriously as Genie carried her to gently place her at his side, "We are sent to find and take them with us back!"
"Relax. I am not doing anything yet" Roxas reassured her.
"You just want to have a fight" Xion pointed out with a deadpanned expression with Roxas smirking in agreement.
Jamil was tense as Najma joined him and whispered, "Shouldn't we just ask? Worst case scenario is that they don't help us"
He held a deadpanned expression as Kalim joined in on agreeing with her. Jamil groaned as he rubbed his head and shook it.
"No!" he snapped to them as they quieted down, "We don't know anything about them! We are going to the palace and ask for help! If not, then I will find us a way home!"
Najma glared at him while Kalim pouted a little. Roxas let Xion lecture him with the Genie chiming in from time-to-time. Roxas glanced to Jamil and noticed an intense amount of darkness coming from him from his shouts.
"Sure, I'll take whatever punishment you give me" Roxas said before approaching Jamil, "But as for you, are you fine with this?"
Jamil was alert as he turned to Roxas who held a knowing expression, "What do you mean?"
"Oh, I know you. You're holding back. You're so used to being in second place that you see yourself as someone who is second rate" Roxas answered as he smirked at Jamil's surprised, panicked expression, "You're still holding back now. You don't want to get close to others even though they could help you. Instead, you want to keep to yourself and handle everything on your own!"
Roxas was able to move Jamil away from Kalim and Najma while Xion was frustrated with Genie worrying about this.
Xion advised seriously, "Roxas, stop"
"Oh, no!" Roxas said with a grin, "I am not finished yet. You don't want to be with him anymore. You're tired of being compared to him while keeping all of your emotions in one place. You want to explode with it and live!"
"SHUT UP!" Jamil shouted as a tremendous amount of darkness burst from him!
"JAMIL!" Kalim and Najma shouted with worry as Xion sighed and rushed in front of them with her Kingdom Key in hand to protect them.
As for Roxas, he only smirked as Jamil finally let out his frustrations and anger. He summoned two keyblades at his side, Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He charged forward to swing one blade, but Jamil ducked and held his pen. Roxas chuckled as he swung his keyblades over and over while Jamil could only dodge and avoid their strikes. Jamil saw an opening and swiftly cast a fire spell to have Roxas block it with Oathkeeper. Jamil then gathered the darkness to the pen to slam it near Roxas's left side that held Oblivion!
"What?!" Roxas asked surprised with Jamil smirking as he snatched Oblivion and held the blade.
"You shouldn't have underestimated me!" Jamil replied as he swung the blade.
Roxas readjusted his grip on Oathkeeper to simply block against Jamil's strike! Jamil gasped as he was knocked back with Roxas effortlessly slammed the blunt end of Oathkeeper against Jamil's hand to then grabbing Oblivion. Roxas then dropped to his knees and swiped Jamil's legs to knock him off. Jamil was panting as he picked himself up to glare in a frustrated manner at Roxas with darknesss gathering inside him, waiting to burst. Roxas stood there and watched Jamil let out a frustrated yell to awaken his Overblot with the darkness bursting from him!
"You want me to feel the hurt and pain I've gone through by being second-rate?!" Overblot Jamil declared madly, "I'll send you so far you'll shout WHOPEE!"
His hair was long and black with it underneath the black turban that held a single red gem with a matching feather from it. There was a ripped at the edges red cloth hanging from it as well. His clothes also changed. Instead of his hood and shirt, he had a red, silk shirt with golden chains hanging from it. He had a golden belt and bracelets around his waist and wrists. He had a black ripped up dress and high heeled black sandals with red stones to tie the ribbons around his legs.
"I would like to see you try!" Roxas shouted as he held both keyblades in his hands.
Roxas charged at Overblot Jamil with Xion sighing and rolling her eyes. Leave it to Roxas to pick a fight with someone he didn't know. She glanced to the two students behind her and noticed their concerned expressions. Xion acted first and slammed her keyblade on the ground to create a barrier between themselves and Roxas and Overblot Jamil. She focused her attention on the students who were focusing their attention on their friend.
Xion calmed down before facing them to introduce and explain politely, "My name is Xion. My friend fighting yours is Roxas. We were sent to find and help you return to your world. We have the power to do that. Can you please tell me anything that can be useful to help your friend?"
"Sure!" Kalim exclaimed urgently, "Jamil's Overblot again! You have to beat him up to return him to normal! Please hurry! If we don't, he could die once his magic runs out!"
"What do you mean again?!" Najma shouted in disbelief, "What happened at your school to make my big bro Overblot?!"
Kalim let out a wail as he realized he indirectly reveal to Jamil's little sister about Jamil's Overblot! He wasn't supposed to do that!
"What does an Overblot do?" Xion asked calmly to gain their attentions, "Genie, do you know about this?"
The blue Genie lowered himself to Xion as Kalim screamed at the sight of him with Najma staring at him with wide eyes. Genie comically created a large book and presented it to them.
"Well, Overblots aren't common for us" Genie explained, "It is for other worlds. I suppose the world they come from has this. Overblots create a phantom from intense emotions and using a special skill over and over"
Xion and Najma held a deadpanned expression as they realized that Roxas did provoke Jamil to the point where he did breakdown. Kalim stopped screaming when he realized something as he turned to the fight.
"But Jamiil doesn't have a phantom!" Kalim shouted as he pointed at Overblot Jamil!
"He doesn't?" Xion asked as she and Najma looked at the fight.
"So, this isn't an Overblot! Not entirely! That means Jamil might be in control still!" Kalim reasoned as he thought about their situation.
Xion glanced to Genie who only returned a shrug of unsureness. Xion looked at the fight and decided to wait for the right moment to intervene on the fight.
"Come on, is that the best you can do?" Roxas taunted as he effortlessly avoided the incoming fire spheres that Overblot Jamil cast, "I've fought quicker foes than you in my sleep!"
"Oh? Really? Perhaps I should rid the world of your annoying presence!" Overblot Jamil snarled as he waved his wand to cast a wave of fire.
Roxas smirked before waving Oathkeeper to cast a wave of water to clash against the fire! Steam was created as Roxas lunged through the steam to swing Oblivion at Overblot Jamil who only held his pen to block the strike!
"Aw come on!" Roxas said with a shake of his head, "You should be able to do better than that. This is so boring!"
"SHUT UP!" Overblot Jamil yelled as his pen glowed a brighter red light to unleash a powerful vortex of fire!
Roxas was surprised as he jumped and found himself trapped in the vortex of fire. Overblot Jamil only laughed when Roxas didn't retaliate. Overblot Jamil gripped his pen to make the vortex slowly close in on him!
"Jamil!" Kalim shouted with worry as he ran through the barrier Xion created and reached his side, "Don't do this! This isn't going to end well!"
"Kalim, he's been antagonizing me!" Overblot Jamil snapped, "He should be taught a lesson and put in his place when he is against someone like me, and you know it!"
Xion was surprised to see Kalim running through her barrier and found it shattered! She was caught off guard with Genie shouting in disbelief with Najma taking her chance to run to her big brother. She held her phone and snapped a photo of her big brother with her deadpanned expression.
"Regardless of your "mighty" opinion of yourself, do you not realize what you're doing?" Najma asked seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Overblot Jamil asked curiously as he approached them.
Najma held her phone to him to show the photo causing Overblot Jamil to jump back in surprise! He looked at himself and checked to make sure that a phantom wasn't behind him. He was relieved, but he wondered how he even attainted this form.
"Interesting, but this isn't right either. Overblots should have a phantom and cause me to lose my magic. Why am I feeling so powered up?" Overblot Jamil wondered as Kalim was relieved to be right that Jamil is still himself.
"And that this is your second time doing this?" Najma pointed out with Kalim jumping and Overblot Jamil starring at his little sister with wide eyes, "Oh, he spilled it! What happened?! Are you ok?! What's going on?!"
Before Overblot Jamil could give her a reasonable answer, Roxas was running up the wall of fire and front flipped over it with both keyblades at his side!
"Do you believe that is the first vortex of fire to trap me?!" Roxas asked angrily as he swung himself at Overblot Jamil!
"Najma! Kalim! Stay behind me!" Overblot Jamil shouted as he lunged between them and the incoming Roxas to hold his pen and cast a powerful beam of darkness!
Kalim rushed to pull Najma into his embrace and protect her as Roxas smirked at the incoming attack. He leaned to the fight to avoid it before swinging both keyblades to cast a powerful light spell to blind Overblot Jamil! Roxas landed before him and pointed Oblivion at him before noticing Kalim holding Najma.
"Ah, I understand" Roxas said as he walked right pass Overblot Jamil to approach Kalim, "He's the reason you're holding back. The light that you're protecting against your will and keeping you from going all out"
Roxas raised Oathkeeper at Kalim who was too stunned to fight back.
"Let's end this then!" Roxas said before taking a swing as Kalim quickly pushed Najma back and summoned his golden scepter to block the strike!
Roxas didn't have to put too much effort into putting Kalim on his knees who was trying to hold himself against the keyblade wielder! Roxas smirked as he knew he could win this. He suddenly felt something hot coming towards them. He was surprised to see a sphere of fire coming towards them, so he pushed himself and Kalim away.
"I thought I was doing you a favor!" Roxas asked as he landed on his feet and pointed Oblivion at Overblot Jamil, "You don't like how bright that light of his is, right? Why even bother with him then?"
Kalim was even surprised to see Overblot Jamil protecting him as Najma rushed to pull Kalim away from the fight. Xion decided to step in as she observed Roxas and Overblot Jamil.
"I wouldn't mind if Kalim wasn't present. He did make my life a misery at times with his obliviousness and stupidity" Overblot Jamil confessed with a shake of his head, "But he's the heir to the Asim family and trying to be a better person even though it is him taking a while. So, you cannot dispose of him until he's learned to be a better person and grant me my wish of freedom!"
Fire erupted behind Overblot Jamil was Kalim smiled with Najma holding a surprised expression. Xion was even surprised to hear this as Roxas stood there with his two keyblades in his hands with the wave of fire. He had a smile as he let the fire burn around him.
"Ah, so you're not as bad as I thought. Good" Roxas confessed as he slowly walked through the fire and approached Overblot Jamil, "You and I have a lot to talk about if you ask me, because I know exactly what that hurt feels like"
Overblot Jamil's eyes were wide as Roxas only smiled.
"That's what this was about?" Xion asked in relief as she approached Roxas and Overblot Jamil, "You believe you and him can get along because of your past, Roxas?"
He only nodded before turning to Overblot Jamil to confirm with pride, "Well, Sora was too bright for his own good. It always annoyed me how everyone depended on him when I could've finished the job much faster. I was always the better wielder and the reason Sora could even use his drive forms at times"
Overblot Jamil understood and finally calmed down to face him, "Well, if that is the case, I wish you would've said something sooner than later. Did we have to fight?"
Roxas shrugged as Xion explained for him, "Roxas is a little bored. We have had a little bit of peace, so I know he must've sensesed something with you and decided to fight you"
It was at that moment that Overblot Jamil gave them a deadpanned expression with Roxas only smirking.
"JAMIL!" Kalim and Najma shouted in relief as they jumped to embrace him in relief.
Overblot Jamil made sure to catch and hold them before sighing at their caring natures.
"I am so relieved you're ok! I was so worried!" Kalim said through his sobs with Overblot Jamil pulling his face away from Kalim's crying one.
"I was so worried my big bro wouldn't be saved! I didn't want to be an only child" Najma teased as Overblot Jamil gave her his deadpanned expression.
As the three of them were talking with each other, Genie hovered behind the two keyblade wielders with a concern expression. Xion glanced to Roxas with an annoyed expression, finally able to hold one.
"Did you seriously want to pick a fight?" Xion asked seriously.
Roxas shook his head before tilting it from side-to-side to reply, "Well, yes, I did want to fight. However, I noticed he and I had a similar reaction to those who are brighter than us. I didn't want him to believe it was just him, so I was willing to show him that I understood. Also, I did want a fight"
Xion sighed in relief before smiling at him with Roxas returning the smile as well. On the other hand, Genie was observing Kalim and Overblot Jamil intently. Genie wanted to make sure he was correct before stating anything.
He lowered his head between Xion and Roxas to whisper as quietly as he could, "So, I know the two of you aren't as knowledgeable as the powerful, all-mighty me, but I believe those three are familiar to me, and I now know why!"
"How come?" Xion asked as she cupped her hand to the right side of her cheek to whisper her question.
"Well, for one, that appearance screams "evil, sociopathic Jaffar" and the other has a powerful light that definitely reminds me of Jasmine's before she passed her powers on!" he whispered as Roxas and Xion stared at each other before turning their attention to the trio before them with wide eyes.
Sure, neither of them have met the Sultan and Jaffar, but they did encounter Jasmine from a distance. They were also a part of Sora's heart when he went on his second grand adventure with Donald and Goofy to save the worlds. Jaffar was able to return due to the peddler getting his hands on the lamp and unleashing Jaffar.
"No way/It can't be!" Roxas said in disbelief with Xion was in awe.
The gazed at Overblot Jamil and could see the resemblance he bears with Jaffar! They shared an unsure expression of what they should do about this, but Xion shook her head.
She whispered to them, "But he doesn't seem as bad as Jaffar. Sure, he's upset like Roxas was, but he doesn't seem like a person who would hurt others. Look at his relationship with his little sister. That proves this. His heart isn't covered with darkness like Jaffar's was"
Roxas agreed with Xion's statement, but they knew there must be a reason for this.
"For now, we should take them back to Radiant Garden with us" Roxas finished with a nod of his head, "I am sure the others will know what to do about this"
Genie and Xion were satisfied with that before Roxas approached them. He let his guard down, but Genie could sense the darkness stirring in Overblot Jamil.
"Hey, so we've got a plan" Roxas said as he approached them.
He failed to notice the darkness as Overblot Jamil felt something stirring inside of himself. Genie rushed first to teleport himself to Kalim and Najma to grab them. Genie teleported behind Roxas who stared at Overblot Jamil who was holding himself in pain.
"Aaah!/Jamil!" Kalim screamed and Najma shouted as she saw her brother losing control over his form!
A wave of darkness and fire burst from him as Roxas didn't have time to summoning his keyblades to protect himself! Xion quickly ran in front of him with her keyblade before stabbing her heart to summon her true form to protect herself and Roxas from the attack! A giant, red armor knight appeared to protect Xion and Roxas from the darkness and fire that Overblot Jamil unleashed. The knight held two red swords and prepared to battle with Overblot Jamil on Xion's orders.
"Are you ok?" she asked both, unsure of what was happening with Overblot Jamil.
Roxas nodded to her, but they were focused on Overblot Jamil who was roaring out in pain! Darkness burst from him and caught fire as fell from him. Overblot Jamil raised his face to reveal his scared and angered expression to them before unleashing another wave of darkness and fire!
"What's happening?! What's wrong with Jamil?!" Kalim shouted with worry as he turned to them.
"That form of his must be similar to the Heartless!" Genie pondered, "Since that form isn't normal here, it must be adapting to our world. The closet example we have is the Heartless and the darkness!"
Roxas picked himself up as he turned to Xion and summoned his two keyblades, "So, how can we save him?"
"If he doesn't have a phantom then fighting him head on might not be the best idea" Kalim said as he picked himself up and summoned his golden staff, "So, we need a new approach and fast!"
He couldn't bear to see Jamil in such distress and wanted to do something to save his friend. As for Roxas, he noticed their bond and pondered on something. Genie and Xion noticed Roxas' expression.
"Do you have a plan?" she whispered curiously.
"I believe so, but I do not know how well this plan will go" Roxas confessed as he stared at Overblot Jamil, "But I do know if we don't try anything, we will lose him here and now. Xion! Kalim! Genie! Please cover me!"
He charged ahead and passed Xion's true form to run right toward Overblot Jamil!
"Is he insane?" Najma asked in disbelief as she was standing behind Kalim.
"Yes, yes he is" Xion answered before taking control of the knight, "Whatever you do, stay behind us or get behind us. We will protect you with everything we have!"
Kalim nodded as he took off to help Roxas with Genie flying at his side. Najma wasn't sure if her magic could be enough to help her big brother, so she decided to stand with Xion and her true form.
"Don't worry" Xion promised Najma, "Roxas won't let anything happen to him. Roxas is strong like that'
Najma took some comfort from her words and held her fists up as she prepared herself for anything.
"Come on Jamil!" Roxas shouted as he avoided the fire and dark spells Overblot Jamil cast by swinging his keyblades to either cut the spells down or block, "You're stronger than this! You should be able to handle the darkness!"
Roxas continued to run as Overblot Jamil let out another yell.
"Do you think I don't know that?!" he snapped before unleashing a wave of fire towards Roxas, "I know I am better than this! Why can't I control this?!"
Roxas jumped and grinded against the wave of fire. He smirked as he jumped to another wave of fire to grind against it.
"Get away from me!" Overblot Jamil shouted as he cast a wave of darkness towards him.
Kalim let out a yell of his own to wave his scepter to cast a wave of light to counter the darkness! Overblot Jamil was surprised by this as Kalim held his own and was even fighting against him!
"I know my best friend is in there!" Kalim shouted determinedly, "I know we are still learning to be better friends, so I will not leave him alone!"
Genie appeared behind Kalim in a puff of blue smoke to then toss the boy in the air! Kalim was laughing as he reflected on flying with his magic carpet in a similar manner before he found himself free falling towards Overblot Jamil.
'I will do everything I can to save you, Jamil!" Kalim vowed as he gathered more light magic to the center of the scepter.
He let out a yell as he prepared to cast his spell. Overblot Jamil wasn't going to lose to his house warden so easily! He was going to give this fight everything he got! His hands glowed a malicious, black color as he prepared to cast his own spells.
"Do not forget about me!" Xion shouted as she swung her keyblade to have her true form swing one of the giant red swords it wielded!
Overblot Jamil was caught off guard as he reacted and threw his hands up to create a wall of darkness to protect himself from Xion's true form's strike! He was knocked back, but he was able to hold his ground.
"Kalim!" Roxas shouted as he jumped towards the merchant heir and raised Oathkeeper.
"Let's do this together, Roxas!" Kalim shouted in relief as he recognized a duo magic forming between them.
Roxas and Kalim raised their respective weapons upward to gather more light to it. Then, they let out a yell as they drew it back and forward to cast a powerful sphere of light downward! Overblot Jamil gasped as Xion drew herself and Najma away, leaving her true form to take the coming damages.
"No! I won't lose! I won't fall here!" Overblot Jamil shouted as he prepared to teleport away, but he found blue chains wrapped around his clothes to pin himself to the ground, "What?! When did this happen?!"
"Sorry, but your friend is my friend in another life. Since he wants to save you, I want to save you!" Genie said as he appeared small before Overblot Jamil to then disappearing.
Overblot Jamil was stunned before facing the incoming sphere with Roxas and Kalim falling!
"No! Kalim isn't allowed to fall!" Overblot Jamil shouted in worry as he created another sphere of darkness to counter the sphere of light.
He was panicked as he found the spheres breaking against each other and couldn't tell if Kali,m was safe! Roxas noticed this as he grabbed Kalim and shouted for help. A beautiful, pattern carpet flew and caught them! Kalim was surprised and recognized the carpet as Roxas sighed in relief.
"Thanks for the assist, carpet" Roxas said as he stood up, 'Please watch out for him. He's actually a good friend of yours. Speaking of friends, I've got to save him"
Roxas jumped off carpet with Oblivion in his hands and fell towards the distracted Overblot Jamil.
"As for you, I understand that pain. You're pushed aside as someone brighter than you receives most of the credit. Your potential isn't always considered, because someone else is destined to be better than you" Roxas whispered as Oblivion charged up with magical energy, "But you're not going to fall here, because I know we're going to do something better than this! Jamil, you're going to be fine!"
Overblot Jamil was caught off guard as Roxas landed to the left of him and swung his keyblade to strike Overblot Jamil's heart. A flash of scarlet and white clashed to then fade away to reveal the frozen forms of Roxas and Overblot Jamil!
"Jamil! Roxas!" Kalim shouted as he guided carpet to land near them, "What happened to them?! Are they ok?!"
"They'll be fine" Xion said in relief as she fell to her knees with her true form disappearing, "Roxas is with Jamil right now. They'll be safe since they're together"
Najma sat next to her with Genie hovering above her. Genie cast his own magic to heal her as Kalim let out a laugh of relief. He sat in front of them while starring at their statues, waiting for them to return.
"Woah!" Roxas yelled as he found himself falling and then hitting the Station of Awakening with a thud, "I will never get used to that. Why did it just drop me in when before it used to gently guide me to my feet?"
"Perhaps because this is my heart" Jamil answered as he looked over Roxas who still laid on the floor, "And what are we doing here?"
Roxas sat up and shook his head to explain, "I had to drive the darkness out of you, so the best way to do that is to reach your heart and find you. If I find you without the darkness, then we just have to wait for Xion to use her magic to get rid of the remaining darkness"
He turned over to see Jamil's figure along with the faces of Kalim, Najma, Leona, and Azul. Roxas glanced to them and then at Jamil who groaned at the idea of waiting for someone to help them.
"I didn't know you had other friends" Roxas commented as Jamil rolled his eyes.
"Those are not my friends. Azul ruined my plans while Leona was annoying to deal with when we fought in S.T.Y.X. Why are they present in my heart?" Jamil wondered as he stared at them with a glare.
"Because even those you dislike are a part of your heart. I should know. I still dislike Sora's best friend and a few others I've fought before" Roxas commented with a grin, "But it is because of our relationships that we are who are and want what we want. As well as beat them one day. I still plan to fight him after what he did to me"
Jamil glanced to Roxas who was holding a little furious expression and wondered who Roxas was referring to. However, the Other Wielder stood up and dusted himself before walking pass Jamil to hold a grin.
"So, I picked myself up and vowed to be better than them" Roxas answered with a satisfied expression, "I plan to be better than them and prove just how strong and powerful I am as well as remind them that they're still a part of me. Are you going to do the same, Jamil?"
At this Jamil crossed his arms over his chest and pondered. He wanted to prove that he was better than Kalim, even if that was obvious enough. Though, Roxas' words did remind him of what Leona said as well. It can't be a coincidence. Not to mention, Azul pointed out his own cunning nature and manners to everyone.
"Well, I suppose there is no use hiding it. You are very perceptive, Roxas" Jamil confessed with a smirk, "And you're correct as well. I shall show them just how powerful and majestic my powers can be. Then, they will never forget it as I achive my dreams of a personal place away from Kalim and those who could ever dream of besting and ruling me!"
Roxas turned to look at Jamil who raised his head and held it high with smirk of his own. At that moment, light slowly filled the area around them as Jamil was on guard while Roxas grinned and gazed upward
"Great, Xion didn't keep us waiting. Let's return to them" Roxas said as he closed his eyes.
She had picked herself up with Kalim and Najma supporting her. Xion held the Kingdom Key and aimed it right at Overblot Jamil.
"Are you sure we can't do anything else to help you?" Kalim asked with worry.
"No, I'll be fine. I am a little tired, but I am sure Genie and Roxas will be able to help me once we save him and Jamil" Xion reassured them before gathering light and casting it to them.
The light pierced through Overblot Jamil and freed him and Roxas. Roxas helped Jamil sit down and stepped away as Kalim and Najma ran to tackle Jamil into their embrace. Kalim was sobbing and rubbing his cheek against Jamil while Najma was holding his left arm close to her. Roxas only grinned before walking to Xion's side and casting a "Curaga" spell to heal her.
"Thank you" she said in relief as Roxas took a seat next to her.
He simply nodded his head before taking out the Gummi phone and checked on their next objective. He nodded at their objective before standing up and holding his hand out for Xion to take. Once she could stand, he turned to the students with a grin.
"Ok, so are we ready to go?" Roxas asked simply, "We've got to travel to another world. From there, we will be able to send you home"
Kalim jumped to his feet excitedly as Jamil and Najma stood up next.
"And how are we supposed to get there? Using the magic carpet and Genie?" Jamil asked as he glanced to them, "Though, it is surprising that you exist. I always believed you to be historical figures, but seeing you is another thing all together"
Kalim turned his attention to them before hugging the carpet, "He almost reminds me of the carpet from our home! I hope you two can meet one day!"
Roxas was surprised to hear that while Genie interjected by appearing in a puff of blue smoke in the center of the group.
"Unfortunately, I don't think that would be possible my not-sultan" Genie said with a gloomy expression.
The three of them were surprised and confused before Xion realized, "Right the world order. It is strange that you remind us of those heroes and villains, so if you met them, it might cause a disturbance of sorts"
Kalim was saddened by his shoulders sagging and holding an expression of one while Jamil was relieved. He didn't want to travel between worlds like this again.
"So, we just follow you and head home? Sounds simple and fun! Let's do it!" Najma said in delight as she smiled.
Roxas nodded his head as he summoned his keyblades against. He raised both to unlock the gateway. A purple and green gate opened as he made his keyblades disappear. He gestured for them to walk through it.
"Cool! Goodbye and thank you, Genie, carpet! I hope we will meet again!" Kalim said with a bow before taking off with an annoyed Jamil running after him.
Najma laughed as she ran after them with Roxas helping Xion. They waved goodbye to Genie and carpet before stepping through the gateway and arriving in a wonderful world of light to meet with everyone.
