Wow! Didn't know so many peeps had posted! Aw, thanks! I wasn't sure if you wanted it to be a secret or not, so I didn't really think about it. Oops. XD Anywayz, thanks a lot! And flaws can be fixed no matter what. Specially if you're using a pencil. lol. Thank you! Shading is the funnest part of drawing, in my opinion. It brings the picture to life. Ooo!!Roxas and Namine! I love them! Well, I'll see what I can do. I'm severely busy right now, but I'll try to whip something up and send it to ya. PM me if you wanna give me details. Everybody can draw!!!! Just try it, practice, experiment, etc., etc., and sooner or later you'll have you're own personal style! No lie!!!
Even though I know that 3 games is total overkill, I will definately fork over the needed money to grab the ds and psp. I was gonna get the psp anywayz (specially with dissidia, crisis core, etc. coming out). =3
You have an absolutely amazing talent! I love all the detail in these pics and the style is very similar to Nomura's. But, besides that, your ability to come up with these characters/outfit and then draw them so well blows me away! Awesome job!!! Blue sounds good. Silver in the light, but blue in the shadows. Red or yellow eyes would work. With KH, you notice that most of the bad guys have lightning gold eyes. The outfit would be hard...um...probably the same color distinction as Ansem's in the first game but maybe with a bit of a darker aura. Ya know, color distortions and stuff like that.
I think I'd die. Period. I don't know if I'd watch it or not, but I'd make it #1 on my schedule if Nomura directs. Especially from his genious-ness on AC.
That's alright. I'm not worried about it. I really, really, REALLY like Saix! He's my fav baddy from KH next to Xigbar. He just seems more evil than Xemnas ever will be. lolz. Trust me, this month is going to be a pain. So it'll take even LONGER!!! Sorry my fans!!! Oh yeah, they're really evil. With a capital "E". lolz. Thanks chicka! And I felt really bad for doing that to Nex but it had to be done. Whoops...lolz. Nuh-uh! You're just as good as I am! Don't put yourself down! :D PLEASE DO!!!! lolz. Thanks! I'm working on it as we speak. Or...well...type....XD
Yup...my thoughts exactly...^-^ But I guess ya'll will have to wait and see. He's one crazy dude but he totally rocks.
That's alright! I'll check it out! Thanks for the link and the approval! Btw, how do ya know he's dead? >.> Thanks. That's pretty much what I was going for. I tried to be formal yet succeptive to a wide audience, ya know? And I think that darkishness works. Right? 'Sides, I really like dark stories. They usually have better detail and stuff. Thanks for the props!
Hmm, I wonder...Ya think it'd be a good idea? I dunno. Let's see if I'll work up enough courage to even do it.
I really wanted this chapter to be both sinnical and comedic. I think I got my point across with Nex, right? Kayz, tadah! The Love of a Nobody... (section 17) …SLAM! It was near nightfall in Hallow Bastion when the sound of a crashing door broke the peace. Squall, Cloud, and the others swept their heads towards the front of the building but never would have guessed who had walked in. Axel fell to the floor, his knees buckling underneath him. “Ela!†they all said in unison. Aerith was closest and immediately rushed to Axel’s side with potions in hand. But the pyro’s blurred vision only worsened. The death of his friend was too much to take. His mind was weakening, and now his body was starting to follow. “Hang in there Ela. We’ll take care of you,†whispered Aerith as the rest of their group gathered around him. Each of them had tender care flickering in their eyes. Cloud knelt down beside Aerith and helped hold Axel’s head up so he would drink the potion effectively. But a few breaths later, Axel was unconscious. - - - - - - - - - - With her hands wound tightly at the base of her back, Nex walked down a bleak hallway, several other Nobodies right at her feet. Her light violet hair waved back and forth as she moved, and her eyes kept watch for any sudden movement from her supposed superiors. Where they were taking her, she wasn’t for sure. All Nex knew was the she had been wrenched from her cell once again. It was comforting to be free of that prison, but it was difficult to know that she would be going right back into it sooner or later. Nevertheless, Nex held her ground against the three men who surrounded her. Luxord, Xaldin, and, of course, Xigbar. She knew that each of them had dealt with her in the past, and each of them knew her reputation as well. It was difficult not to want to lash out at them, but that same barrier from before still withdrew her powers from her. Nex clenched her teeth in frustration. That Heartless lady…She’s the one who’s doing this to me! No matter what the woman named Mafia had said, Nex chose never to believe a word of it. Though there were distinct similarities between the two of them, nothing and no one would ever rival Nex’s stubbornness. “Where are you taking me?†Simple enough question. “To Xemnas.†“For an interrogation.†“And your demise.†Stupid answers. “And then?†asked Nex. Xigbar glared at her with his one hateful eye, its golden glow like that of the sun. “Enough questions, girly. If it weren’t for Xemnas’s annoying orders, I’d have shot you up by now.†“Oh really?†“Yes really.†Nex scoffed. Xigbar was getting on her nerves, exactly the same way as he had done in the past. But she didn’t push the older Nobody’s limits. He was not one she would want to get in a fight with, especially now that she was powerless to defend herself. It would have been a major mess for the winner to clean up. The remainder of the journey was deathly silent. Nex’s thoughts continued to stray in Axel’s direction. She had no idea what was really going on outside these hideous marble walls. Axel could have been dead for all she knew. It was frustrating to her, to say the least. No one could understand how pained she really was on the inside. Nobody or not, Nex’s distresses were evident, even to her captors. Still, the silence ensued. Nothing could be heard but the pitter-patter of cold boots on cold floors and the clinking of metallic chains; the ones linked painfully around Nex’s wrists. “We’re here princess,†Xigbar irritatingly continued his slew of ludicrous comments. Nex clenched her fists, cutting into her skin easily. The Heartless woman she had met earlier, Mafia…very soon, that woman would slip up somewhere and Nex would release the full extent of her powers, no matter how much it pained her to use them. Nex glanced up from the floor to a massive door in front of them, weaving in and out with lavish carvings, each of which implied the irreversible sign of the Nobody. Kingdom Hearts hung itself in the sky above, donning massive amounts of light onto them. It was hard to tell, but it seemed to Nex that small, blinking lights were being fed to the giant Heart. But, as she looked closer, it was obvious that those firefly lights were indeed the remainders of a poor innocent’s heart, soon to be locked away in the caresses of Kingdom Hearts, never to be released ever again. Unless, of course, by the will of the Key and its bearer. But that’s another tale. The door eased itself open effortlessly and with almost no sound. The room inside was small, yet enough to fit a minor crowd. Tombstone-like objects were organized neatly around the room, each of them having some sort of weapon inscribed on their surfaces. They raised themselves up in a staircase fashion, and some were smashed to bits. Several had their weaponry symbols lit up brightly but some titles had been lost to the darkness. Nex had no clue what any of them meant. All she knew was that two of the most hated men in the world stood a mere six feet away from her. Saix and Xemnas. The Superior immediately began his speech. Nex couldn’t help but think it was a little pre-rehearsed. It was Xemnas, after all. “Do you know where you are?†spoke his deep voice. His gaze was nearly timeless as he stared from fiery yellow eyes through to Nex’s blunt violets, completely ignoring everyone else in the room. “Like I care,†she answered. Xigbar immediately wasted no time, and kicked Nex to the floor. She grunted in pain and struggled to stay facing Xemnas. Her hate for Xigbar would have to be relinquished later. “This room is Proof of Existence. It is exactly as the name implies. These tablets that you see before you are our proof that we truly exist in this pathetic excuse for a world,†Xemnas bent down to Nex’s level. She was disgusted that they were even breathing the same air. He wrapped a gloved hand around her chin. “And once we gain our objective, that proof will become a reality.†What happened next, no one expected. With a simple move of cleverness, Nex spit directly into Xemnas’s smug little face. She smiled deviously. Xemnas scowled and wiped away the saliva with the back of his hand. It took Xaldin, Xigbar, and Luxord a few moments to realize what happened, but once that did, they came rushing forward. Saix was the only one who remained calm. In actuality, he was the only one hardly paying attention to the situation. His mind was somewhere else. “You wretched witch!†cried Luxord, ready to backhand Nex with his open palm. But Xemnas stopped him before he could make a move. He wiped the rest of the spit away, and continued his lecture. Nevertheless, he was still ticked. “I’m surprised you don’t wish that same fate for yourself, Nexydys. After all, you are one of us, are you not?†“Never.†“Hmph. What a shame.†Quietly, Xemnas walked away from Nex. With his back to her, she could see defined muscles lining his figure, emphasizing his strength. She couldn’t take him or the others down on her own, no matter how hard she tried. Powerless, useless, worthless; all of them were words to describe Nexydys in her time of need. And she hated every minute of it. Xemnas held up his left hand. At first nothing happened. But seconds later, a whirling wind appeared in the space next to him. In a tornado of air and light, another of the tombstone objects appeared, manifested out of thin air. Unlike the others, this tablet didn’t have a weapon of any type adorning its exterior. How did he do that?! “The Unknown Reaper. A fitting title for one so bold,†Xemnas let the stone fade back into nothing but particles. Nex couldn’t tell, but was that title supposed to be referring to her? “Indeed, each of our members has a forename, Nexydys. If only you had joined our ranks, you would have had the same privilege.†Privilege my butt. She wished her telekinesis was working; she could have easily projected that thought into all their minds, and then watched their faces twist in anger. Nex chuckled at the idea. But, perhaps, getting information was a good idea. She could use it to her advantage if she got out. “Forenames?†“Yes. For example, yours would have been the Unknown Reaper. We do not know your weapon and we hardly know your power, so therefore your mind is your weapon, supplying you with endless energy. That is, until your body ran itself dry. But your ability to kill with a single thought brought me the idea of the ‘Unknown Reaper’. Understand the concept?†“Sure. New names, powers, weapons. Gotcha.†Xemnas frowned again. Nex wasn’t the prisoner he was likely to get much out of. But he would work with what he had. He still had the Melodious Nocturne’s death to hang over her. As soon as he had informed Nexydys of his demise, she would undoubtedly succumb to his efforts. Just like she had in the past. “Now, Nexydys, you have few choices lying at your feet. One, you can renounce your faith in Axel and replace it in the XIIIth Order, where it truly belongs. Two, you can face an imminent death. Your move.†Nex grimaced. So many choices, so little time. “No matter what I do,†she began. “My freedom would be nothing more than a stupid hoax. So don’t even try to give me this crap. I’ll never join you or your damned Organization!†The evil laugh. The trademark laugh of all villainous creatures, Heartless and Nobodies alike. And Xemnas was using his now. “So long ago, Nexydys. Does your memory still fail you?†What? What’s he talking about? My memory’s just fine! “You disappoint me. Were you not part of our ‘Organization’, so very long ago?†“Speak English!†screamed Nex. “Our apprenticeship, Nexydys. Under Master Ansem, were we not all loyally subjects? Insubordinates, if you will.†“How…How do you know about that?†“Oh, how do I know? Why, isn’t it obvious?†Patience was running out on both ends of the table. Xemnas was toying with her. This game of cat and mouse was just about over. “No!†“Do you not remember? I believe your companion’s name was…Ienzo, if I’m not mistaken.†No…He knows about my past life? How is that possible?! “If you can understand, Ienzo made a place as this Organization’s Number VI. But his name was no longer Ienzo, just as your name is no longer Sydney. He was named Zexion, as undeniable evidence of our fake existence. And you, my dear friend, are now named Nexydys. Pray tell, how can I be lying about all this?†Nex was speechless. That was why Axel’s real name was Ela! Why his past life intertwined with Organization XIII! Xemnas knew everything. Nothing had escaped his gaze. But how?! “Just who the heck do you think you are? Who the heck do any of you think you are?!†Xigbar started chuckling behind Nex. She didn’t even bother turning to look at him. She had her hands full with Xemnas at the moment. He kneeled down to her and stared at her square in the face, making her look at him. “Don’t you recognize me Syd?†“No! And get your freaky face away from me!†Xigbar grunted agitatedly, but then smiled again. A devilishly sly smile, that is. “It’s me, you idiot. Braig.†Nex would have smacked him had her hands been free to do so. He had just insulted one of her best friends. Braig was like a big brother to her, yet Xigbar was the scum of the earth; exact opposites in every way. It just wasn’t possible. “You’re not Braig. You never could be.†“Oh, but it’s me alright. You know it too. I can see it in your eyes. Sorry Syd, you might think this is a dream, but it’s not. Get over it. And ya see Xaldin over here? You see any resemblance?†Maybe…Maybe Xigbar wasn’t lying after all. As Nex stared deeply at Xaldin’s pale face, she immediately knew. In every feature of his figure, Xaldin was her old friend, Dilan. They were so alike that it scared her. Nex’s eyes widened in luminous realization. The friends she had had, nearly everyone who had ever been there for her, had been turned into Nobodies. And the proof was staring her right in the face. - - - - - - - - - - - - All was quiet in Hallow Bastion. Sora had dropped by briefly to restore the old wizard’s book, but then left as quickly as he had come. But, although you could hear a pin drop, restlessness was still apparent in the small nook of Hallow Bastion. The entire group of friends had gathered together, hoping and praying in their own way, that Axel would make it through. Squall had made a clean getaway with Axel being at the wizard’s house unconscious. He, Cloud, and Aerith led Sora directly to Ansem’s old study, where some strange happenings had corrupted the town’s computer system. Meanwhile, Yuffie had watched over Axel like a hawk. The Nobody had developed a slight fever but, according to Aerith, was going to be fine. She defined his ailment as severe emotional distress. Squall doubted that, since Axel’s existence meant no emotions whatsoever, but Aerith was usually never wrong. Although Cloud had run off to chase Sephiroth once again, the remainder of the gang stayed in their humble abode. Axel lay in an offset room with Aerith applying warm rags to his sweat-ridden head. “Is he going to be okay?†Aerith looked up to see Leon in the doorway. His baggy eyes lamented sleep and Aerith sighed at his appearance. “He’ll be fine. It’s you I’m worried about. When was the last time you slept?†“A few days ago.†They both laughed, but the tension in the air remained. “…I wonder what happened to him. The pain he’s gone through in the past few hours was excruciating for him,†Aerith said, holding Axel’s hand in hers. Squall smiled at her affection. “He might tell us when he wakes up. Then again, Ela never was a big talker.†“Yeah. You’re right.†Axel stirred for a brief second. Both Aerith and Squall held their breaths, and then sighed heavily when their friend didn’t truly awake from his slumber. “This is the second time he’s done this to us, Squall,†Aerith said. She dipped her head in a mourning fashion. “I…I don’t want to see it happen again.†Squall walked over to Aerith and laid a hand on her shoulder. “I know. He scares me sometimes too.†“Squall! Squall!†“Yuffie! He’s still trying to sleep!†“This can’t wait Squall! The Heartless are attacking!†“What?!†“See for yourself!†Yuffie said, pointing to the nearby window. Squall stared outside aure enough, thousands of Shadow Heartless were gathering near the old castle. They swarmed it like a massive flood of black; evil and ominous. Squall turned back and looked hard at Aerith. “Go. I’ll take care of him,†she said, answering his thoughts. “But…please. Be careful.†“…We will,†he replied. Holding out his left arm at its full length, the legendary gunblade appeared in his hand in a flash of light. “Sora should be arriving soon. You should get him to a safer place.†“I will.†With a nod of approval, Squall and Yuffie left the house with weapons in hand. Both were prepared for a long, arduous battle. - - - - - - - - - - - - -
WHOOHOO!!! Thanks chicka!!! I'll have the un-edited version up here in a sec...Kayz! Tis up! That dude has the most amazing talent. He's drawn some pics of Luxord and Xemnas and they're absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if he'd consider talking to me... Um, nah, better forget THAT idea.
Maybe I will, maybe I won't...lolz...You'll just have to wait and see. For now, here's the next chapter. EXTREMELY LATE I KNOW!!! DON'T RUB IT IN!!! This chapter took forever to write. Period. It's almost six pages on Word and it has a ton of extra stuff in it. Therefore here's all the goody-gruffy stuff. (My sis taught me that word. Don't ask.) dA Inspiration Musical Inspiration - Disturbed ~ Land of Confusion My own dA pic based on this chappy UN-EDITED VERSION (Rated M for Mature) Roxas Has Returned Ch. 7, Moongazing Roxas closed his eyes, awaiting his eternal downfall. “Wake up man!” said Axel, gently shaking the boy’s shoulder. “Come on! We gotta move!” “Axel?” “Who else? Come on; can you walk?” “I, I don’t…” “Well, here, let me help you.” Without another word, Axel launched the weak Roxas onto a comfortable seat that adjusted to his small figure. It didn’t take much to tell Roxas he was sitting on top of an expensive, fast, and sleek motorcycle. The engine sputtered and coughed below him but it sounded brand new. Dual tires were in place of a single tire on both ends of the bike. Rich, black paint covered the majority of it, and it was easy to tell it had been washed recently. There was room enough for two or three passengers, but Axel and Roxas were all it could take for now. A sweet, yet bitter, scent of gasoline pumped through the air, making the younger of the two Nobodies cough up small drops of blood. A light, barely visible sticker on the underside of the handlebars read ‘Strife Delivery Services’. “Axel…where did you…?” “I borrowed it. Don’t worry, I’ll give it back,” the older man replied, lying through his teeth. With a swipe of his leg, Axel himself was sitting on the driver’s half of the motorcycle with Roxas right behind him. “But…you can’t…drive…” “Oh yes I can,” Axel reached down into the caresses of his cloak and pulled out a small white book, obviously ravaged by time. “I read the manual. This’ll be a piece of cake.” Roxas grimaced. He still wasn’t sure if his trust in Axel was pure or not. But, maybe this would prove to the both of them just how strong their friendship really was. The teen wrapped his frail fingers around Axel’s coat, clenching them tightly together. The older man smiled in his direction. “Ready?” Roxas only nodded. Axel waved his arm, and opened a portal to the darkness. Within seconds, Roxas, Axel, and the bike were immersed in its shadows, traveling through time and space, and leaving a trail of oil behind as their only legacy. III~XxXxX~III Blinding light cascaded down upon them in waves, covering them and washing away any remaining darkness the portal had left over. Axel held his arm up to regain his sight, and took in all that there was to see around him. “What the…Where are we?” Roxas was startled that not even his supposed friend knew their destination. Nobodies usually had complete control over their abilities with the darkness, but Roxas had no idea how Axel had arrived here on accident. Weak, cerulean irises scanned the area, but there wasn’t much to see, thanks to the night sky. The moon was still hiding its face behind the clouds and wouldn’t grant them the privilege of its rays just yet. Roxas could still make out an extremely rocky area with cliffs abounding on all sides of their current position. Dust clouds inhabited the land like livestock on a crowded farm. Axel’s control over the bike was surprisingly firm and it let them see more than they thought. “What…is that?” asked Roxas. His sight had picked up a small figure in the distance, their outline only noticeable through the moon’s restricted light. There was a few kilometers between the three of them. Roxas’s limited vision blurred and he stumbled back into the motorcycle’s seat. Axel looked back with concern on his face but then turned towards the human-like shape that was sitting on the skyline, seemingly waiting for them to make a move. Without another thought, Axel revved the bike’s motor to its fastest point, making it nearly impossible for him to slow down without damaging the bike itself. The speedometer in front of him whipped past ninety in mere seconds, while Axel’s grip on the motorcycle’s handlebars grew tighter. Roxas held on for dear life on the back seat of the bike. His blonde hair flicked back and forth in front of his eyes, blurring his sight. Quickly gazing past Axel’s crouching shoulder, he could just barely make out the distant figure through the steady stream of soil impacting his irises. Pain from his side brought him back down into the seat. Leaning against Axel’s tense back, Roxas awaited whatever it was that was ahead of them. Unbeknownst to them, the moon above was just beginning to show its face, not withholding any of its pale light from the passerby’s below. It’s radiant outline reflected that of a glowing heart, and Axel immediately recognized it. Kingdom Hearts; the light of their salvation, the source of Organization XIII, and the destination of all hearts whether wholesome or scathed. That moon held the hopes, dreams, and promises of thousands of hearts and it was where their precious Superior held his one and only obsession. “Hang on!” screamed Axel, revving the bike one last time. He swerved back and forth across the grimy landscape, avoiding rocks of all shapes and sizes. No experience behind the wheel of a motorcycle caused his teeth to clench and sweat to rain from his forehead in desperation. Roxas wrapped his fingers tightly around Axel’s cloak, nearly ripping it apart. The wind blew his eyelids open, but he forced them shut. Neither of them knew who it was waiting for them. Neither of them expected a frontal attack. Out of nowhere, massive blocks of silver came rushing towards them, nearly colliding into the bike along with its passengers. Axel felt the wind pull at his ear as one of them flew right past him, ruffling his hair. He looked away for no more than a second, but it wasn’t time enough. Another barrage came soaring after them, their destination bent on collision with Axel and Roxas. What the heck are those things?! The cloaked figure ahead had been waiting for them. The light of Kingdom Hearts above gave him energy, fueling his desire to kill. The figure screamed at the top of his lungs, wrenching apart his cloak in a beast-like manner. Saix! That idiot! “I told you I’d be waiting. I told you I’d find you. I told you…I told you…AAAGH!!!” The berserker’s maniacal laughter turned quickly into vengeful yells. Saix pulled hard at his chest, his cloak tattered and ripped. His glowing gold eyes were sparking against the beam of Kingdom Hearts. Wind swept around him like a tornado, causing his hair and cloak to flail about. His weapons seemed to come from everywhere and anywhere, simply racing after the Nobodies without any will of their own. Axel pulled a hard left to avoid several of the silver blurry claymores coming right at him. The protesting squeals of the tires echoed in his ears. Dust kicked up all around them, blocking their view. “You cannot escape me!” With that, Saix renewed the chase and seemed to float towards the motorcycle, his face scrunched together like a closely knit web. Claymores of all shapes and sizes hissed by, mere inches from the scrambling Nobodies. Axel grumbled under his breath. “No. Not this time.” Speeding across the landscape, Axel made a beeline for Saix, mustering up all the strength, courage, and power he could. They’ll pay for what they did to him. Remembering the teen cowering behind him, Axel looked back at Roxas, admiring the boy’s newfound strength. Quickly, the older man went back to the task at hand. The yards passed away quickly, and Axel dodged everything that Saix threw at him. But the berserker Nobody could never be spent while in the light of Kingdom Hearts. Axel realized his race of time was running out. Even while throwing a few blazes of fire in the Luna Diviner’s direction, Axel knew he couldn’t stop Saix. Instead, he began devising a means of a desperate escape. “What’s wrong? Can’t take the heat?!” Axel taunted, knowing that Saix avoided everything he had sent his way. But, as expected, Saix roared in anger. “YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE ME!!!” “Oh yeah?!” Axel yelled back. A chakram appeared haphazardly within his left hand in a flurry of flames. Axel threw it towards the berserker, intent on aggravating him all the more. Bit by bit, his plan was working. Saix’s power was overwhelming him to the point of annoyance. This insignificant Nobody, ranked lower than he, was actually putting up a fight. What angered Saix even more was that he hadn’t beaten Axel yet, and that they were actually on a neutral stance with each other. Rage confused his thoughts, causing him to become even farther from human and closer to beast. “Heh, gotcha now,” Axel muttered. Summoning a portal far off in the distance, Axel rammed the motorcycle, head-on, into the Luna Diviner. Blood spattered against the ground. The ominous sound of crunching bones and shredding skin left Roxas shuddering. Hailing forth from the skies was the remainder of the berserker’s claymores. Without their master, the leftover weapons fell to the dirt, scattered about like the dust in the wind. Axel turned to look behind him before being swept off into the portal. All that was left to see was a moonlit outline, fractured and split apart on the soil. Roxas knew what had happened, and he tightened his grip on Axel’s coat, cutting into the older man’s underlying skin. He smirked. Axel had finally gotten the better of an old enemy. But he couldn’t help feeling a slight resentment in the back of his thoughts. He had no real way to justify his actions. Self defense was the only answer he could come up with. Speeding through the desert-like arena, the motorcycle careened through the darkness, heading straight for the portal ahead of them. III~XxXxX~III A vague impression of sunlight hit the walls just right, reflecting off their surfaces and hitting a sleeping Roxas directly in the face. It was just enough to wake him from his deep, uneventful slumber. Roxas’s over-sized cloak warmed his body yet he could still feel stitches poking into his skin. He tried to ignore the small pricks of pain and took in the area. The teen opened his eyes to familiar surroundings, but he couldn’t quite tell exactly where he was. Obviously, he was in an alley, away from the prying eyes of the public, but it was hard to tell which world it was. “Finally awake, huh?” Roxas nimbly lifted his head to see bright, ruby hair blocking the sun’s rays. Axel jumped off the roof two stories up only to land directly beside Roxas. The older man leaned against the brick wall, his back arched but his expression calm. “Where…am I?” Axel only smiled. “Home, Rox. You’re home.” III~XxXxX~III

Chapter 16 I cannot believe myself....almost a month friggin late!!!!!!! I apologize like a maniac to my awesome readers, okay? God I suck... The Love of a Nobody...(section 16) Axel practically flew to the depths of Hallow Bastion. His feet carried him as fast as they could and he dashed through dark portals, literally disappearing and reappearing every few seconds. He tripped over his own feet once in a while, but picked himself right back up. He passed construction site after construction site, hoping to get to his destination before it was too late. Come on Demyx, hang in there. Word had spread that Organization XIII had entered Hallow Bastion yet again, and Axel was quick to learn that it was in fact the Melodious Nocturne who had arrived first. If Sora was already here, Demyx didn’t have much time before the boy found him. Sorry Nex. I have to help him. Give me a little more time. Please. Veins popped inside his neck, his pants getting heavier and faster. Several people got in his way, but Axel just mowed them down. “Hey kid! Slow it down! The Heartless are down there!†But Axel wouldn’t listen. He had more important things to worry about than stupid Heartless. But by the time he made it to his goal, it was already too late. Too late to save a friend’s short and desperate life. “No waaaaay!!! Aggghhh!!!...ugh…†“NO!!!†Axel watched with horrid eyes as one of his close friends faded into nothingness, never to return. Axel watched with angered eyes as Sora raised his fateful keyblade up to the sky with a defiant thrust. Axel watched with saddened eyes at the events unfolding around him and the world crumbling beneath him. He fell to his knees and looked to the sky, searching for some sort of answer. First it was… Axel groaned. He couldn’t even bring himself to say the boy’s name. Then Nex, and now Demyx… If there is any God out there… He must hate me. Axel held his head in his hands for a few momentary seconds. He didn’t even care that Sora was walking away, holding with him the information the pyro wanted. Right then, nothing mattered. ……Damnit! - - - - - - - - - - - “So, the musician failed. What’s the master plan now?†“…We must devise a new strategy.†“Ya think?†Xigbar rubbed his temples with two of his annoyed fingers. “Sora’s doing a good job of killing off the Heartless for us, but he’s doing a good job of killing us off too.†“Sora is nothing but a child. He can still be easily manipulated. With a few choice words, the boy can be turned from the side of light to the side of shadows.†The Luna Diviner had portaled into the conference room a few seconds before, his face like a broken mirror: a reflection frozen in time. No one bothered to ask why he was late. His dealings with their new recruit had him spending more and more time with other matters. It was starting to become a ritual with Saix to be less then punctual. “Gambling with the boy’s fate won’t be a simple task. It will take some time and careful maneuvering. And, if Lady Luck is on our side, Sora won’t have a choice but to join us.†Luxord wafted through his cards one by one, then flicked them back into a single stack, and filed them away in the caresses of his upper sleeve. “Perhaps one of us should do a little more…persuading?†Xaldin waved his arm as he spoke, gesturing to the rest of the XIIIth Order. “Indeed,†Xemnas, the Superior and leader of this Organization, finally spoke. “Sora’s heart is gaining strength. We cannot allow it to be too powerful, for it would destroy us. Nothingness must corrupt his heart….Saix.†The Luna Diviner perked up. “What is the situation with the Heartless girl?†“She is doing well. Her decision to join us was good on her part. I’m still progressing with her.†Saix smirked to himself at the double meaning. “What about that kid Nex?†asked Xigbar. “Is she gonna give up her Axel-obsession anytime soon?†“Mafia is working on it,†replied Saix monotonously. “It may take longer than we had hoped for Nexydys to sacrifice this fake love of hers. Nevertheless, Mafia will have a report sooner or later.†“Sooner would be better.†“I understand that.†“Nexydys will be one of us, just as she was in the past,†began Xemnas. “She doesn’t have a choice. One way or the other, she will join us.†- - - - - - - - - - - “Ah…The sweet smell of defeat. It really is a succulent scent, don’t you think?†Nex held back her tongue. Swears of multiple types screamed inside her head, just dying to come out. She was on her knees, doubled over on the floor, holding tightly onto her aching stomach. That first punch had hurt, but the second one nearly ripped apart her skin. The figure continued her quest for domination. She was counting down the minutes until Nex would fall prey to her taunts, and until this Organization was in a downward spiral. The Nobody lay helpless on the floor, praying that Axel would come to her rescue. But Nex’s cell door remained closed and the brutal attacks kept coming. “No one’s going to save you now Nex. Not even your little half-assed boyfriend.†The figure laughed. Nex clenched her teeth while her hopes were dashed to pieces. “You really aren’t going to say anything? Well, this is no fun for me at all! You could at least try some sarcasm….Or are you really Miss Perfect?†The figure threw back her hood, catching Nex off guard by her appearance. Jet black hair and coal colored eyes, comforted by a slim and well-built face. Why was she so familiar…? “I could annoy you all day long, and you’d still be sitting there. Why am I even trying?†asked the figure, seemingly talking to herself. “This is such a waste of time…†“You don’t know what…you’re talking about,†Nex replied, grimacing from her bruised chest and stomach muscles. Her breaths came in and out in fast rasps, making it hard to talk. “Finally! Something I can work with,†yelled the woman into the open space surrounding Nexydys’s cage. She threw her hands up in the air to emphasize her words. “You amaze me Nexydys. One second, you’re in love with an idiot who can’t even love you back. The next, you think you’re invincible and try to take on half the Organization. Do you seriously think Xigbar doesn’t hold a grudge after that crap you pulled with him?†The woman sighed, and kicked Nex in the ribs for no real reason. The Nobody keeled over, sprawled out on the floor, nearly at the woman’s mercy. “You’re a real piece of work Nexydys.†“I’d like to say…the same…about you,†grunted Nex, stuttering with her words. Why can’t I access my powers?! No matter how much it would hurt her, Nex knew that she had to use her mind to fight this opponent. But why couldn’t she do it? Why weren’t her powers working? Nex hunted the entire expanse of her mind, searching for that small area where her powers were lurking. But, instead of finding such a place, she ran head on with a solid brick wall. No! No! Let me in! Please!! Nex’s desperate attempt to break down the wall ended with her pain increasing and tears of anguish running down her face. “It won’t do you any good Nexydys. My superiority over darkness has utterly destroyed you and your stupid powers. Even if you were able to use them, it would be a mere inflection compared to what you used to have. I wouldn’t bother if I were you.†Nex’s anger spiked. This type of talk was beginning to take affect. If Nex could help it, she’d get out of here, alone, and find Axel too. “I’ll make it…You’ll…see.†The figure only smiled maliciously. Curiously, the woman’s teeth were pointed, as if shaved down into piercing canines. It added to the horrendous air about her. Nex clenched her fingers into fists. “Who…are you?†she managed to say. “Oh? You haven’t figured it out yet? Jeez, you really are dumb.†Just be calm Nex. You’ll get your chance. “I am the embodiment of darkness. At least, that’s what your Nobody friends have told me. I can control it, wield it, suppress it, or even strengthen it. With a single movement, I can summon creatures that would make a grown man take off in the other direction. Itâ€ctually quite simple, really. Would you like a demonstration?†“Just tell me who you are!†“Fine, fine. Eager aren’t we? Well, if you must know,†The woman leaned in close to Nex’s frail figure. Her coal colored hair fell over her face but couldn’t hide cat-like eyes; cold and black with irises that stabbed right through to the heart. Her light pink lips came within inches of Nex’s left ear. “I’m your....Heartless.†- - - - - - - - - - -
Both these pictures are absolutely gorgeous. The line art is perfect. If you don't mind my asking, what program do you use? Or are you just a regular pencil artist?
EEEP!!! Totally cute!!! I just love these chibis! I WANT ONE!!! ^-^
Buddeh...*sniffle,sniffle*....that was so....good..... But seriously. That made me cry. Oh my gosh. You did so amazing on this one. I'm definately printing this. You have got to get a book or SUMPTHING. I can't believe this awesomeness. My favorite part? Axel's "Come out, come out, where ever you are!". I could totally see him doing that in real life. But this story...rocked so hard. I adore it. Nuff said. And thanks for the inspiration link. You have inspired me so many times in the past, you don't have to do it for me, okay? I don't deserve it as much as you do. But thank you anywayz. You are worthy a thousand times over to be called buddy. ^-^ (I reposted just for you. ^^)
Oi....You don't wanna know. I'm so far behind it's not even funny. I'm going to try to get on my personal compy tonight and work for about 3 hours straight. Both stories need updates. Like, NOW.
Gotcha. Oh. And the fact that we reached 4000 pages wasn't memorable!?!?! Tee he, just kidding. ^_^
