"Eager to prove yourself as a hero are you? Even with all these efforts made...they will all burn eventually... It's fruitless in the end."

"Your...friends? Hmhmh...I shall rob you of that desire, the only thing that is waiting at the end of your path, is despair."

"Hmph, if you must know, you can call me, Sephiroth...Xehanort? That's not a name I'm familiar with. I work alone.." Glancing at her, noticing her battle stance the silver haired swordsman scoffed, smirking. "There's no need for that, yet..."

"To finished what my mother had started long ago...to travel the cosmos, to create a shining future...and I shall use this planet as my vessel..." Sephiroth then glanced down at her weapon, ah...his interest has been piqued. "A keyblade...just like the boy's..."

"It seems that a foe of mine from long ago is making a return..."

"I'll make sure your dear friend gets quite the warm welcome... After all...it's a reunion to be celebrated, is it not? It's been quite some time since I last saw him. I'm sure he's itching for another challenge."

"Hmph...I'll have to see that for myself, I wonder if he can last as long as our previous duel... I showed Smash despair once...I can certainly do it again with our, newest addition..." Letting out a chuckle the silver haired man giving an erie grin back.

"They will still fall all the same..."

"Hmhmhm...indeed, soon the time of judgement will come, then I shall test the boy once more... You've given some hope that he'll put more of a challenge, those words better ring true.."

"You should revel in this fact little koopa boy...for now I have a higher priority... But fret not, your demise will soon follow after his."

"..." Falling silent he glanced down at the cookie grabbing it. "Perhaps just once, after all, this is a grand celebration to be had today, is it not?"

"Is something wrong Sora...surely you do not dread our next battle, it shall be a reunion to remember."

"Hmhm...there's that flame of bravery I was looking for...I can't wait to snuff it out..."

"Sometimes things just need to end sooner than later..."

"Hmph...soon it won't be long before I clash blades with him yet again..." Scoffing, Sephiroth glanced at his cookie before taking a small bite from it. "It is...rather tasty..."

"Hm...so I've heard, in that case, I will cut him down just as I did the last god. Nothing will stand in my way, from bringing Smash to despair."

"It'd do you good to do the same...if there is anyone that's going to be rid of you...it will be me. Not some false God."
