Axel opened a dark corridor, "Hey, you ready to go find your mother? I'm sure there's something interesting going on over there." Roxas watched the little clockwork creature zoom off and followed it. "Alright, let's find this, uh, woman and get some answers." Xion was glad she could at least hold her breath for a decent amount of time. It'd be enough. I need to find where Xenree's hiding so I can get her back under... Xemnas' head jerked up from his thoughts, "Who will be reborn?" Everyone else froze at the serious tone of their Superior.
Xion curled her tongue around Riku's. Renee pulled him down to her, snapping her fingers and the lights flipped off. Roxas almost crashed into her as she stopped. He panted, "Do you see her?" it was all he could say as he shook his head, trying to catch his breath. Xemnas nodded, deep in his own thoughts, though they were not directed at Renee's issue. Larxene poked a finger at Hestia, "Yeah? What would you know about them?" Xaldin shoved Larxene away from Demyx and Hestia, "Leave it alone, Larxene." Axel stood, touching a hand to Ashir's head, "Too much sadness for such a small boy. For now, you should just smile and enjoy yourself. Got it memorized?" he grinned, hoping to cheer the odd boy up.
Xion sealed Riku's mouth with her own and dragged him underwater. Roxas followed close behind on Kazooies heels. Renee pulled him back on top of her and kissed him. Xemnas thought and Luxord answered for him, "So the sins we once embraced have turned our Princesses against the world. Pride, Envy, Wrath...a few we know very well." Axel shifted uneasily, "People...still there? Well I've never heard of that before. Uh, Ashir, you're just a boy, you fight with a sword?" Axel brushed back his hair and sat up, leaning forward.
Renee pushed him onto his back and sank her teeth into his shoulder. She licked the tiny hurt and kissed his chest. Xemnas frowned, "By who?" "Or what?" Marluxia added in and Xemnas cast him a hateful look. Roxas nodded, he just wanted to be away from Namine and her crazed corrupted self. Xion smiled, proud of herself, "I always do. I hope you can hold your breath for a long time." She slipped off her clothes and slid in beside Riku. Axel blinked and curiously stared at Parma, "Well hello. So you're Parma. Uh, sure, Ashir, we can go to them. You have no idea how long I've been looking for your bird here. Odd...I don't remember going to the Keyblade Graveyard before..." his memories were foggy since all of the Keyblade Graveyard's memories were involved with Neo.
Lexaeus was almost thankful Mage wasn't completely alright. He didn't think she should see Saix like this. Unconscious on the floor, that is. Axel stared at the boy and his bird, "Well it's good to see you happy. I was getting worried you wouldn't want to wake up if we didn't find her. Your mom doesn't want you left alone here so until you're ready to head out into the worlds, I'll stay with you two." He sat down in a hard chair and sighed in exhaustion. Xemnas ran a hand through his gray hair, "Is there any way we can help? Perhaps locate another piece of this shadow staff?" Roxas looked up and down the hall, he didn't see anything. "Well, get up. We should go after this woman." Renee's eyes moved from his after a while and scoured down his body. She nipped at his chin. Xion grinned and nodded, "I'll get him even if he moves heaven and earth to hide from me." Xion searched for Riku, seeing him hiding under the water. "Riku...come out of there, I'm bored." Xion lit a fireball in her hand, "If you won't come out, then I'll have to make you come out. You like heat...well this may get too hot for you." she said, heating the water above normal hot tub temperature.
Okay, I like the finding the settlement and going to find them idea.
Xemnas nodded, "Hmm...now we just need a way to return them to normal." Roxas scratched his head, "And this red headed woman? How does she play into this?" A sultry smile spread across Renee's lips as she toyed with his hair, "Mmm, well don't just say it." Xion set her hands on her hips and frowned, "He's always running. It's like he's afraid of me. You'd think he'd enjoy what's being done to him." she said around Sora and Kairi. She grinned at Kairi before following Riku.
Zain nodded and let Callen and Zero wipe off the blood on his nails. "Must've been some nightmare for you to do this to your self." "Yeah...it was pretty awful."
Xenree lifted a hand as if to remove her hood and stopped. She extended her hand in front of her and summoned Dark Void out of the darkness. Lowering her hooded face to the ground for a moment, she held her Keyblade poised to fight.
A slow understanding smile spread across Xenree's face as she calculated her chances of gaining this new Nobody's aid. She turned to him, ceasing her pacing and waving away the Beast. "Whatever one would wish for. I am Darkness, I will grant you what you wish. Helping Darkness is offering your soul to Darkness." Her silver eyes changed for a moment, showing the swirling colors of darkness as she looked at Gexln, "I see a great potential for darkness in you," she paused thinking over her options, "Helping me might get you...perhaps a greater source of darkness to sate your craving for power. One I can provide for you." Saphique gaped at them, "You two are kidding, right?" Xenree turned to her blue haired friend and sighed, "I need something of the two of you first. I trust you both have heard and or seen the Unversed? Fledgling emotions that come from a friend I met in the darkness. I want you two to find him and bring him to me." Saph tapped his chin thoughtfully, "Yeah? What's his name? Ven..itas, or something?" She gave him an impatient glare, "Vanitas." Axel squeaked involuntarily at the tight hug, "Whoa, ease up, Ashir! I'm...breakable!" he weezed. Lexaeus gruffly looked down on Mage, "Are you alright?" he grumbled. Xemnas watched the blue screen and thought over what he'd seen, "So, Renee and Raoxthu where corrupted by this Shadow Corruption beam. But Renee is a Princess of Heart, supposedly uncorruptable. Being the eigth princess, you'd think it'd take more than that to turn her heart." Demyx piped up, "Renee was also hit with Dark Void from Xenree." Vexen nodded, "Dark Void has a special toxin on it's blade that makes it much more dangerous than it seems." Xemnas was silent in thought.
Xenree stopped pacing, "It's...an old family relic. And it has something inside it that I want." Saph shrugged, he had no idea about the medallion. Xenree's gloved hands opened and closed as if she already had it in her hands. "I want to possess everything that I had before I died." Which would also include Kingdom Hearts.
Xenree waited for him to catch up. She hadn't realized she'd run so far into the jungle. The soothing sounds seeped into her skin and she turned, resting against the mountain wall behind her.
ooc: she calls everyone who she doesn't know a Keyblade wielder. It doesn't mean they are one. bic: Running along the paths of the jungle, she ignored him for a moment before coming into a clearing and stopping with her back to him. To anyone else the mountain wall in front of her and the boy behind her, she would've seemed trapped, but to Xenree, a thousand different exit routes were still availiable.
Xenree almost answered him. She shut her mouth and retreated a few steps as he started to chase after her. Lifting one hand, she wagged her finger at him in a 'no, no' sign. Turning on her heel she dashed off into the jungle, occasionally glancing behind her to see him. Is he really going to chase me into a foreign jungle? Keyblade wielders...so silly...
Xenree smiled serenely, "Correct. Isn't he smart...you could learn a few things Saphique." Saph gave her a pitiful look that she ignored and snapped her fingers causing a wave of darkness to flow around her wound. When it disappeared she was fully healed. "I hate Keyblades of light. Those stupid things always get caught on something inside me." Saphique released her as she started to pace the floor in front of the Beast. "Uh, Xenree...you were fighting with a Light Wielder again? Where was I?" She waved him off, "Here, there, I don't know. You are where I want you to be. Mage didn't have my medallion. I know she has it. Renee no longer has control of my powers but the dark side of her due to Dark Void's infection and this Shadow Corruption I'm hearing about has made her interesting." Roxas scratched his head, "Um, jinjo? Red-headed woman? Who are these people?" Renee pulled him closer to her and pulled at his clothes. "why you continue to wear such infuriating scraps of clothes, I'll never understand." Xion chased Riku down, "RIKU!"
She shrugged, "I never said I wanted it. I couldn't care less of your story."
She tossed the lifeless body over the edge of the cliff and turned her back on Glen, soundlessly starting into the jungle. She wouldn't speak, though her mind rattled off all the questions she had yet to answer. Xenree felt a smile creep over her lips under her hood and slightly turned back to Glen as if to ask whether or not he was going to ask any real questions.
Zain, still being young, felt tears sting the backs of his eyes and looked away from his bloodied arm. Zero helped the doctor bandage his arm and helped him sit upright. "You'll be alright Zain." Zain's blue eyes were glittering with tears as he stared at the ground. "It'll never be alright. I'm..." Callen stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.
Xenree tilted her head to the side, letting black hair flow over her shoulder, "Correct. Now, you know my name. What are yours?"
Xenree stood with the help of Saphique and laughed, "If that thing was all it took to knock me down, do you think I'd have created you?" she said, remembering Glen and now seeing Gexln and how much he resembled Glen. "Heartless, Nobodies, Fakes, the Organization, Keyblade Wielders...they all pale in comparison to the true Darkness I wield." She smiled despite the large hole in her chest. Saphique squeaked when he noticed her black blood dripping onto the floor, "My lady, you're injuired!" She waved him off and touched her finger to the blood, holding out a sample of her black blood to Gexln, "What do you see here? Blood is red, shadows are black...which do you think I bleed?" Renee silenced Raoxthu by sliding her tongue into his mouth as she kissed him. Roxas knelt down to Kazooie, "Despite the tastless nicknames, yeah, it's us. Kazooie, what happened to you? You look like crap." Xion growled before walking away to find Riku. She was bored now. Xemnas handed Lexaeus Mage and questioned L.O.G. "What is wrong with Renee and Raoxthu?" Larxene put her hands on her hips and snorted, "What's up with little miss, 'I'm too good for you all now'?"
