13. The 13th Struggle (Project Destati: DARKNESS)

"The 13th Struggle" is arguably the most famous of Organization XIII's battle themes, and while it represents more than a handful of conflicts, it's been unofficially regarded by fans as Axel's personal character theme.
Our arrangement takes you through his story in Kingdom Hearts II while giving brief glimpses of the motives that fueled him - beginning with his final, futile attempt at preventing Roxas' death, to embracing his own in order to save Sora - and, by extension, what was left of his best friends.

PROJECT DESTATI: DARKNESS
In celebration of KINGDOM HEARTS and the stunning melodies of Yoko Shimomura, Utada Hikaru, Takeharu Ishimoto, and Tsuyoshi Sekito, we present Project Destati’s second volume.
DARKNESS is the highly-anticipated follow-up album to Project Destati’s 2014 Billboard-charting soundtrack album “LIGHT.” The album is a musical amalgamation of fan-favorite themes from the KINGDOM HEARTS series, re-assembled in an all-new fashion like long-forgotten memories.
Featuring a live string orchestra and industry-leading soloists, DARKNESS is a dark, grand, and mysterious musical experience that aims to capture Tetsuya Nomura’s own imagination.

Of course you wait until Friday the 13th to upload this.

Whenever I hear the first seconds of this, I imagine Axel sitting and thinking with nostalgia of the old good days he spent with Roxas and Xion, while looking at the "Winner" stick... Then he realizes he can still bring them back, and his determination bursts into flames, ...and the 13th struggle starts! XD Very inspiring track!

Axel: "Come here, I'll make it all stop! BURN BABY!!!"

I find it interesting how 13th struggle was used in both the battle with Axel and with Luxord.
