"Gex!" This Eden ran straight for the nobody, hugging him tightly. "Xehanort let me have my body back! Though... It's obvious some changes occured." She slightly tried to smile at him, but she looked more sad then anything. With a great sigh, she continued in the forced dark tongue. "Anyway, we gotta get out of here! I got your heart! You can be Glen again! But things are not looking good for the hearts, they are flickering out."
"Just look anywhere that the darkness is shifting. Shifting with light." You order, going south to look. Once she felt that he let for a far enough distance, Eden poked her head out of the seemingly level looking floor. She got out of it, walking as if on land once more. She was 20 paces west of Gexln. Looking around, she kept making sure that all the hearts were as safe as she was. Her eyes, tinged a golden yellow from Xehanort, locked with Gexln's own. Equius gave a little snipping noise at the sight of Master, running to her.
Equius chirped a bit, following Gexln, just as Master would have wanted him to. Within your world of Darkness, you sense something lurking about, hiding from your nose. "Come out..." You hiss, the darkness uneasy by your angered spirit. You notice Gexln coming in, not even caring about the bird he brought. "Someone is here. Lurking about, trying to escape. Find them and bring them to me." Eden kept "swimming" within the darkness, trying to escape her captor. She kept the hearts safe, plucking more as she progressed. Protecting every heart she could was the best of ideas right now. It was a goal she could not fail.
Blaige groaned in pain, his hook trying to substitute hands to pick himself up. With a great groan, he flumped, unable to move with his pain-riddled body. Equius gave a small sound, trying to calm Gexln down. He tried gently nipping his ears, in a kind gesture. "Gexln. Come back... something is amiss." You slammed your fist upon you throne, getting up to find out where the darkness was shifting. Nothing should be moving, everything should be just as you wanted it. "Shiz!" Eden squeaked, running to whatever could be deemed safest. That wasn't so easy here, and that slam sounded awfully closer than she'd like. So down into the depths she went, trying to keep hidden within the dark waters.
Equius nipped at Gexln further, trying to calm his fears. Within the Dark Void of Xehanort's, Eden had been thinking of ways to escape her prison with Terra. She pressed a hand against the walls, finding they didn't hurt as much as she would have thought. That thought didn't please her. Putting the heart in her pocket, hoping the magic wasn't interfered, she tried to light herself up. Sadly, it was like lighting up in a Dark Firaga, and she immediately put herself out. "Damn...." She muttered, but felt surprised it was in the tongue of the dark. It wasn't harsh and glitchy with normal english like Xehanort's, but it wasn't without some trace of imperfection. The darkness around her still recognized it as their master's voice, allowing her to pass through. "Yes!" she clambered on out, looking for more hearts to rescue. Practically diving within the dark felt like thick water, and her body remembered quite well the trials of Australia's oozing dark sludge. It was somehow easier to move within, but then again she herself was immersed in the same darkness. She found plenty of poor unfortunate souls within the depths, plucking their hearts like wilted flowers. Few shone brightly, but some felt familiar... She could feel tugs to certain hearts, one that was painfully dark and another that kept flickering like it wanted to give up but it kept trying to find reasons to fight. "Don't worry, I gotcha..." She plucked both hearts, grabbing a smaller one that still burned bright. She looked at her bounty, 30 normal hearts, and 3 special ones. She would have to find a way to purify them, and bring them to life. She "swam" up, leveling herself on the ground. "Time to leave."
You feel baffled by your subject. Sobbing? Was he SOBBING?! "UNACCEPTABLE! You are one of the dark! My dark! And a nobody! How could you be allowed this much emotions?!" Slamming your hand on your throne, your knuckles cracked and bled a bit from how dry the skin was from the cold of the darkness. You look at it, not caring about a new body and just trying to get out of this one. It was too weak for you to promise her survival. And that won't due. You go to your storage, seeing one heart beeping words of encouragement to the broken one. You exit the female's body, and go back into dear Terra's. You clench your fists, much more happier with this strong body. You leave the other with its heart, smirking in the thought of any escape. Life. Eden breathed in, sucking in as much air as possible but avoiding choking. Her eyes were blurred, slightly at the pain of coming back. She stared at Xehanort leaving, taking the heart with her. "Don't worry Terra." She stared at her hands, cringing at the fact some orange remained. Even silver highlights graced her hair, causing her to immensely frown. Traces of Xehanort were still within her... and it would take a lot of light to force it out. She walked around, pressing a hand against the walls of her cell, trying to punch it. It did nothing, though some darkness did steam off her hand. Xehanort's probably. Equius nipped at Gexln's ear a bit, trying to comfort him. A sobbing humanoid was something he wanted to make sure to keep safe, it seemed like something Master wanted.
Feeling quite winded from the attack, (it had almost hit his neck!) the great bird did fall for a small period of time. Sadly, the bird-brain was NOT down and out of the ring. After a few constricted breaths, he tried to jump up and drag Gexln down by the foot and slam him into the ground.
ooc: Eq realizes something is wrong with Gexln, and isn't quite himself. So he will try to knock him out.
Equius stepped back, surprised by the sudden change of Gexln's character. He sounded different, and there seemed to be some great physical change to him as well. He puffed up his feathers, charging at Gexln in an attempt to knock him out while he was distracted by the other wielders.
ooc: The "possession" isn't really what you think! It's quite opposite! Er.... that is to say, it's not so much POSSESSION as it is an ARTIFICIAL HEART. The problem with it though is that it's made of Xehanort's darkness, so he can control it, and kill you from the inside with it!.... If it wasn't already. Since an artificial heart is in itself impossible, one of a tainted darkness housed within a pure dark body would only kill one from the inside due to the body receiving it as a sort of "cancer!" BIC: You smirk, feeling his consciousness in your reach. But a slight pain comes to you, extremely dull, but one that was very real. Viewing the world through his eyes, just watching, you notice the Keybearer. "Go! Take him! Bring the Keybearers!" You seem quite excited by the idea of Riku or Sora as a body. But you almost forgot the pain, stemming from your seed.
With a great 'wark!' of surprise, he kept snapping at the magic vines in the hopes of tearing them apart. "TERRA!" Eden screamed, the soft static whispers she once held turning into great electric shrieks.
Equius rammed his head into Valerie to block her off from Gexln. He gave a hard stare at her, going to try to keep Gexln safe,
Equius shifted his leg to drift next to Gexln, scratching the floor in an attempt to ram again. "Hey.... Hey! Wake up Terra!" Eden still fought, spirits not as broken as the limp Wielder was.
Equius, having taken a long rest, stretched his legs within the Gummi. He made his was outside, a large 'wark' emitting as a yawn. He peered at the fight to begin within the bamboo, staring quizzically. Looking for a familiar face, his master was nowhere to be seen. However, the Master's friend was there, posed to fight others... So he did what Master thought would be good, and made a full steam charge at the team with his thick head.
ooc: Yeah, you two are going to have to carry things out for the most part. By the way, Val, Terra is going to make an appearance, so I don't know who'll be him. (pfft Terra's a girl's name) also, keep in mind, Terra's spirits must be broken down to nothing. A shell of his former self. bic: You sit upon your throne, watching the darkness bubble and boil. It was boring, and you were growing tired at the amount of time it took for all your subjects to even report to you. Within the dark, the hearts showed some ability to communicate... though it was scratchy, static driven, like an old radio. None-the-less, they took up some ghosts of an image, only to look tied up by their ankles and wrists. "Terra?" Eden spoke in static whispers, seeking out the other soul that was trapped for so long. "Are you there?"
The strike, not destroying anything, did knock Blaige out and left him on the ground with a bloody nose. With a heavy groan, and no energy, he simply passed out.
Blaige kept swinging, missing for the most part, but trying to literally maim Gexln. All he needed was an attack to knock him out, then he could be dragged away properly.
Blaige relished in every free moment, trying to hook his blade around Gexln, and slice off his head with the next. "Dead." Came a grim tone, eyes still cold. This was a grave change compared to earlier, maybe it was the new form? Yes, it was powerful in comparison to the other forms, but it was dangerous. It fought with cold ferocity, and a will to kill.
Blaige did not stop, he kept attacking Gexln with brute force. Only when a slightly avoided strike hit his midsection did he falter a moment... But just a moment to make sure no damage happen and back he was fighting again.
Blaige tried dodging, though the thought didn't quite click. Instead, he hooked Darkness' Sorrow and but his hook at an angle to make it hard to move. As the two were locked, he tried stabbing Gexln in some vital areas.
