Kefka cares nothing about anyone or anything but himself and he finds no greater joy in life than in inflicting suffering and death unto others. He has no long-reaching goal for his destructive actions, destruction itself is the goal. He manipulates the emotions of others and will readily lie without hesitation, but his purpose for doing this is again usually nothing but his own amusement in tormenting them. Kefka's need to inflict suffering drives him to continuously greater heights to satiate his urges, culminating with the ruination of the entire world and the deaths of countless creatures.
Confronted by the party at the end of the game, Kefka reveals the ultimate revelation he has achieved—that life is meaningless. All things that live will die, everything people care about will be destroyed, and everything they achieved will be forgotten. Thus Kefka declares that struggling to continue living in the face of death is pointless and stupid, and people should accept their fates and surrender themselves to destruction at his hands. When the party refutes his claims with their personal reasons for living, Kefka flies into a rage and declares that he will destroy those reasons, and the concepts of love and hope are worthless and he will destroy them as well.
Every freaking time he went to a world this happened. Someone was either a beacon for darkness to consume, darkness incarnate, or absolutely bananas, and Sora wasn't quite sure what was happening. Kefka was helping draw the Heartless away from the men which was good but if Kefka didn't act soon his men would be in for worse.
Switching to his rage form Sora cloaked himself in black oily dark light and darted around the room teleporting, slashing at Heartless, sometimes ripping them apart with his hands rather than using his Kingdom Key. He seemed to float as he teleported from Heartless to Heartless stopping only for a brief second to stare at Kefka, expressionless with his now amber eyes curious as to what this man was thinking.
Once the two had finished off the majority of heartless he looked to Shiva and pointed to her as if to remind Kefka of the objective at hand... to destroy that husk of an Esper. Sora teleported over the Esper's Nobody grabbing it by the hair bolting towards the door, ready to smash it's head in the doorway. He had definitely taken his eyes off of Kefka by now and proceeded to hold what looked like the falen Esper in place while slamming the door on it's head repeatedly.
Repeated howls could be heard from the thing as it flailed casting Blizzara left and right, before, finally the temperature lowered. It had been gearing up to cast Diamond Dust... much to the troops dismay this didn't stop Sora from bashing the creatures head in like a maniac. Screech after screech could be heard along with the squelching of the creatures head caving in and returning to normal once the repeated impact was made in an endless loop. If Kefka didn't manage to calm the boy down he might end up with troops way too traumatized to be of any use to him.
Kefka had screached before commanding Sora to punch through a path. Sora simply smirked effortly taking out a swath of heartless using his keyblade. A white hot blast cut through the heartless to the doorway. But Sora being a competitive person simply allowed his looks to curl as he looked back at Kefka.
The man's eyes seemed locked on the Nobody of the Esper. What had him so surprised? Was this not normal in his world? Kind of think of it he had been here for days and he hadn't seen heartless until now. The darkness was usually attracted to powerful beings. Maleficent had been able to command them and Nobodies were able to command them. But... they also tended to crave pure hearts.
One way or another Kefka's heart was pure, be it pure good or pure evil and that would technically fit the criterea for hearts they'd want to steal. "Master Kefka," he said instinctively, "Don't let them near your heart. If it will motivate you I'll compete with you on destroying these things. Whoever kills the most of these little black creatures wins. Each of them is worth 1 point, and capturing the Esper... at least the husk of it is worth ten!"
He nodded, "The winner gets the losers breakfast rations." Sora added and if Kefka had responded Sora likely hadn't heard it. He had run into the fray to help the men fight off the swarming heartless since unlike Kefka and Sora, they were rather ill equipped to handle such beings. He had hoped to win this friendly challenge of his since, while he didn't like the food, he didn't like the food that was often served, he did enjoy eating breakfast and he just knew Kefka was probably the type of sadist to order him to be present while he ate his extra meal, ... just to torture him and "Show him who was superior."
Sora's own heart hardened at these words. The man had indirectly warned him that he didn't care about his subordinates. It was sad and scary, but he had heard these kinds of arrogant rants from the likes of both the old and new Organization XIII. His eyes narrowed looking up at the taller man in disgust. So, he doesn't like to answer questions directly, Sorry silently thought to himself but at least Kefka had shown his hand early in the game.
The difference between Kefka and more famous antagonists of his ilk was that Kefka had actually won. Sora balled up his right fist under the table and allowed it to tremble. He faked a smile and raised his Charice to Kefka, "I toast to your strength then," Sora boomed, "after all you must be strong not to be worried about those things hurting you."
This of course had been done to ease the soldiers around him out of any anxiety, though Kefka himself had been smart enough to know this had not been said to stroke his ego. Though said in a sweet Disney-esque fashion, Sora's words to some wiser than the average grunt were clearly laced with disgust, and Venom.
Whether or not Kefka had been in the mood to play along or not their conversation would be interrupted by the Nobody of the fallen Shiva. After she faded away the Nobody had formed as an empty husk mimicking her power with the power of Darkness. Screaming could be heard outside the doors of the mess hall as a guard was flung toward Kefka, already dead from black pulsating ice that had been formed in the man's belly.
Sora looked at the bloated and hardened corpse and the large icicles protruding out of the body. So the darkness was here too... he took his eyes off the corpse and moved to protect Kefka, whom he could deal with later. He reached out his hand and summoned the Kingdom Key and attached his Favorite Deputy, key chain to it. Of course this revealed that he hadn't been your average grunt. He had power himself. Swarms of heartless followed the the Esper Nobody who began attacking troops.
"Sir," Sora then responded swatting away heartless causing them to vaniish into the ether, "Is it me or does she look to be the commander on this attack? How do you want me to proceed?" His guard was up.so if Kefka decided to attack he'd likely be parried amidst an invasion from what seemed like the same Esper he killed and some new creatures at it's command. The question now was whether to use Sora's compliance and manipulate the boy to obtain even greater power or fight by his side, or try to kill him and figure it out on his own.
One could never have enough intelligence on possible enemies after all.
Long ago the world was connected, and a warm light connected it. The people all loved the light, and at length, they began to fight for it. Darkness was born in the people’s hearts. The darkness swallowed many hearts and much light, and before long it had spread far, and the world disappeared into darkness. However, inside the hearts of children there was still a small spark of light. Gathering the fragments of light, the children remade the world. However, the world that was created is not all connected, and it’s made of many small pieces. That is because the true light was still sleeping deep within the darkness.
Sora opened his eyes. He was yet in another world after beaming down off of the Gummi ship, which stayed in orbit and had been recruited as a soldier. Sora however could be misled into believing he was working for one of the good guys. Surely these soldiers believed in whatever it was they joined up for and even that was... unclear. Everytime he asked someone what they were supposed to be doing people clammed up as if working under their current leader, Kefka was the obvious choice.
Most told him to keep his mouth shut and just play along. It was... odd and caused his heart to be conflicted. Weren't these espers like heartless or nobodies? Bad and dangerous? They were having magic extracted from them for the good of the people... weren't they? A night didn't pass where he wasn't woken up in the middle of the night by an esper howling in what seemed like pain and anguish. It served them right though... they were monsters.... weren't they? And not the same type of Monsters as his friends from Halloween Town.
An hour later he would make his way to the mess hall after bathing and changing into uniform spotting Kefka. He didn't know any better or how dangerous his 'commanding officer' was yet so he sat with him and ate what looked like it had come out of a toilet... the scary thing was that it tasted worse.... and even scarier? He had been eating this stuff so long he was starting to enjoy it. Normally he'd have been with Biggs and Wedge but today he was reaching out to the boss who's meal admittedly looked a lot better than his.
"Good morning sir," he said looking up at the mad man, "What's on the agenda for today?... I was wondering... what are these... Espers and why do we keep them here? Isn't it dangerous for us to do it here? What if they get loose?" It probably wasn't a good idea for him to question Kefka's logic but he had been showing genuine concern for Kefka and those under his command so it might not have come off as rude as it sounded in his head and more like a rookie trying to learn the ropes.
