Practicing with Darkness

As her growth subsided, Aqua looked over her newly enhanced body. She noticed that she had gotten a bit taller, and her muscles could rival those of Hercules. With every breath she took, it felt like her top would burst apart. With a mere flex, her sleeves were ripped to shreds, much to her amusement.

"So this is the kind of power that darkness can give someone..." she mused. This power felt nothing like the last time she had been tainted by Xehanort's evil. No, this was as though her body was actually absorbing the surrounding darkness, like a sponge in a bathtub.

She raised her new Keyblade and looked at it, still hearing it whisper into her mind. "This is just a fraction of the power you can grant me, isn't it?" she asked aloud. "Just tell me how to become even stronger."

A part of her wondered what else had been enhanced. She raised a hand, and channeled her magic into it. She had intended to cast a simple Fire spell, but to her surprise it became a Dark Firaga. "Interesting," she said, launching her attack at a wall. She continued to test out her magic, discovering that her other elemental spells had changed into Dark Blizzaga, Dark Thundaga, and Dark Aeroga. With each attack, she could feel her own power grow, as though she was feeding off of her own dark magic.

She threw a Dark Fire Raid, watching her blade spin around in dark flames. "With this much power already at hand, I can only imagine how much stronger I can become..."
