Gaurd then came between Larxene and Axel. Xemnas hadent even his opened his eyes. The both of them then went flying to opposite ends of the room and Xemnas quitely spoke "If you two cant get along then stay away from each other." and with that a cure card appeared in front of each of them and Xemnas went back to his meditation.
Xemnas sighed and sitting on the floor he closed his eyes. He relaxed and before he started his meditation he simply stated "Play nice children, and dont hurt eachother perminately... or I will deal with you personally." He then began to meditate and a pale red light seeming to surround him he floated there. He was drawing energy to himself... strange. His whole aura seemed to change and he was completely silent, eyes closed. Body completely relaxed in the composure. He wasnt even breathing... He was so still it was almost unnatural.
"No... we dont need to kill him... Just beat him at his own game." Xemnas crossed his arms "It will be work and we will have to join together and gather as much of our forces as we can. Once we have our full fighting force or atleast the majority of it we should be able to find a way to get the dice rolling our way. Besides, I have a strange feeling about this..." "and Saix is indeed right about the collars though with a bit of work I'm sure Vexen or myself could figure out how to remove them... but it would be risky as these collars are indeed authentic." Xemnas pulled on the collar around his neck then, it had been digging into his neck uncomphortablly and he couldent breath right with it on. Xemnas paused "Yes Axel, training is a good plan especially for the weaker and injured members among us. Unfortionatelly I wont be able to join you as I need some time to think..."
"I agree Larxene..." Xemnas thought for another moment and letting ou a small gasp he looked up "What if this is mearly an experiment?", he paused."What if Ansem is just testing how we react with eachother in different situations as well as enviroments. He could just be seeing how nobodies are different from people with hearts..." Xemnas shuddered, "he intends to kill us that's for sure but first he wants to have his fun with us any way he sees fit. He believe's he's safe for now, we are still divided and we are unaware of his exact location. This is all planned out so perfectly, he wants us to kill eachother out of fear of being killed ourselves and there will surely be no reward for the winners as he says but mostlikely a fate worse than the fate of those killed." It was the only explanation Xemnas had for now rubbing his arms he felt cold. Maybe getting covered in heartless goup wasnt the greatest for your health...
Xemnas stopped in mid stride at her question ignoring what Axel had just said. Xemnas went to speak but stopped. He then thought for another moment before answering "He was complicated... Intelligent, always trying to be one step ahead of everyone else. His reasurch constantly the workings of anything he didnt understand and always kept in line. He loved to teach others, make them learn... put them up to tests he knew they would not sleep till they understood." Xemnas got a sad glazed over look in his eyes then. There were to meny blanks still and too meny memories of pain because of Ansem. "He made you want to get better at things than him... go places he wouldent go. He drove you farther than you ever thought things would go purely by pushing you to excell. In the end I went places even he didnt think possible... things he thought werent right by human laws. That was when... when I betrayed him to continue my reasurch further into the heart. I wanted to know more, but even now I have never been granted answers. I think he see's me as his greatest failure. I was his best and his worst I suppose you could say. I learned all he had to teach and then as he would express it 'Let the power of knowledge control me.'" Xemnas shoke his head, "But he was wrong, even in losing my heart and changing my name I never forgot who I was. I always kept the same goal though now I must first create kingdom hearts before focassing on my own goal." With that Xemnas stopped talking and leaning against a wall he had a look of very deep thought.
Xemnas looked to Axel " We were mearly discussing status..." He then looked back to Larxene and eyes seeming to look right through her he simply stated "Let's keep that loyalty of yours constant.... The last thing we need rate now is a betrayel from the inside." Xemnas then stood up and brushing himself off he began pacing quitely obviously trying to come up with some kind of plan to defeat his less than loved ex-master.
Xemnas looked to Axel before he went after Larxene "Yeah, I think the missing head and your superior cover in sticky blood should be a hint..." Xemnas then fallowed Larxene and continuing he quickly explained "Your supposive attempts to overthrow me in an arguement are amusing. Because unless my memory and arrogence fail me a nymph was a lesser god that tended after the more powerful ones. So you are in absolutely no possition to judge my personality but rather serve me as I see fit." He continued his tone almost painfully smooth. "Not to mention Larxene a ruler is not made from power but rather from if he understands the motives and controls his subjects in a manor that is best for all those under his comand by there choice. It's best you remember that..." Xemnas was smirking and waiting for the other's to come he sat down by the wall and made himself comphortable.
Xemnas sighed "Well you were the one saying I smelled...and I wasnt serious Larxene, there is something called sarcasim. Besides dont compare me with someone so stupid and naive as Sora, the sooner we destroy Ansem the sooner I can have a shower and you can go back to your sadistic plans to kill things but until then lets work together as I would prefure you to just quit your bad sence of sarcasim and co-operate." Xemnas then pulled out a card and opening the door he looked to Larxene and extending a hand like a gentleman he bowed slightly saying "Lady's first...Oh Savage Nymph." It seemed the superior wasnt above using his graceful good looks and charm to insult her right back.
Xemnas smirked and flinging a glob of gross stuff at Larxene says "Whatever..." He then removed his cloak which he kept a black shirt and pants on underneath. He then shook off the cloak getting all the most disgusting stuff off it. Xemnas then sighed and looking to everyone else pointed to a door saying "I guess we go through the door, personally I want somewhere with a bath cause this is preaty gross..." He finished pulling the cloak back on.
Xemnas smirked.... "as you wish." He then dived into the creatues mouth. What the hell was going through his mind??? From the out side all people would have scene was smoking fleash before a red blades came from each side of it's neck and it's head was sliced clear off. But from the inside there was the far more disgusting side of Xemnas getting coded in it's bodily fluids and black blood as he cut it's head clear off and climed out of it's throat covered in some rather disgusting things, not that he seemed to mind as he shoke his arm making a large globe of yellow god-know's-what come off. Xemnas then took shook his body dry and looking to Larxene as if nothing ever happened he stated "Happy now, number XII?"
Xemnas worked quickly yanking hair from the still unconcious members then going and getting ones from Xigbar and Roxas and everyone else. He then returned to Vexen's lab and yanking a strand of hair from Saix's(Zexion) head and putting it in a vial he quickly stated "All done..." and with that he put the vials in order from 1 to 12 on Vexen's lab table and sat back down in a comphy high back chair.
Xemnas felt Larxene yank him away, he was not indeed blind or stupid... He just didnt exactly care. He had been about to move but apparently Larxene felt some sort of worry for him. Strange, he had always thought the woman quite diliked him yet she had just saved him thinking he couldent do it himself. He moved away from her and fixed his hair which Larxene had quite screwed up. He then looked to Larxene, it seemed she had hurt herself... Xemnas sighed "Thanks for the concern Larxene, I would have been fine without your help. I'll deal with the rest. Your injured..." It was an order not a request from the tone of his voice and aerial blades extending from his fingers once more he teleported right in front of the creature and began to fight it back trying to mortally wound it with a single strike which it seemed he could not quite get in between snapping jaws and flailing claws.
OOC: Last I checked burn it up, we were still on day 2! Xemnas came through the door still without an answer from Saix. Seeing the large lizard like heartless he sighed. This was going to be a energy wasting and boring fight. He drew aerial blades, they would be far more effective than a sword and jumping onto the heartless's back he ran up to his face dancing between the lightning storm quite gracefully and striking it in the eye it began to flail about enraged by the pain Xemnas had just inflicted on it. Xemnas held onto it though by grabbing onto the creatures ear and striked and stabbed into the monsters head repetitively in the hopes of bringing it down quickly without much effort from anyone else. OOC:same stubborn superior as ever... believes he can do anything himself...TT.TT
Xemnas sighed, I'll collect the hair samples but I'm not getting that dust... Sorry Vexen but I dont want to do number VII's work just because he's a higher number not to mention I'm already being as nice as a person without a heart can... especially since I'm a higher number than you in either form." Xemnas stalked out then and seeing Zexion he plucked a hair from his head as well as Xigbar's before running off to collect hair from other members.
Xemnas smirked at Saix "Of corse I can summon my own weponds but they use up alot of energy and a sword disasembles heartless just as well and takes alot less energy in my case so hense it is a more efficent wepond at the moment. Not that I would dare use this thing on DiZ," Xemnas motioned to the sword. "No... he will taste aerial blades as they swiftly disasemble him. I look forward to it." Xemnas dusted himself off and looking to Saix quietly spoke so only Saix would hear "Who do you think will survive if it comes down to 2 survivors? I would like an honest answer number VII. I just want to see what another member thinks other than myself."
Xemnas glared at Larxene, "Shut up Larxene... That is unless your volenteering to be the first one dead..." Xemnas had been feeling cold since coming here. His old master was really getting to him and watching the bacon cook he talked "Well when you think about it were in castle oblivion as far as we know but if I know Ansem this is simply a didgital copy... I'm sure if we push the limits of this world hard enough and somehow get rid of these collars we can find a way out... Or we can creat a distraction well a second party goes off to kill Ansem. I dont particularly have a fully formulated asult plan yet. But for now I suggest we keep moving and get to fermiliar ourselves with an as large an area as possible as well as danger zones. Also eliminate any devices that DiZ could possible tag." Xemnas ate the few peices of bacon he had cooked over the fire then and getting up he went over to the group saying "We better find the others and stick together as a team. It will take less energy for all of us and give us a better chance against DiZ. Not to mention it will be far easier for us to work in such a mannor. If 13 days pass though and one of us must die it will mearly be discided by who is the weakest link in the group." With that Xemnas strapped the sword around his waist and was prepared to leave.
Xemnas woke up then and rolling over off his 'pillow' he sat up and his stomech growled quite loudly... He then rubbed his eyes and taking off his hood to reveal a major state of bed head he quickly searched his bag for a brush... apone finding one he pulled it out and brushing his hair into place he yawned. He then looked around and seeing people randomly scattered about he went by the fire and speaking loud enough for everyone to hear he asked "So what is are plan to inalalate DiZ and I hope someone destroyed all the camras and stuff in this area.... and if not please do so... then talk." Xemnas pulled an apple out of his bag then and eating it quitely he awaited an answer as he pulled out some slices of baccon and putting them on a stick began to cook over the small fire which he soon had to put more wood on well awaiting a reply from someone...
Xemnas(Demyx) simply sat in the lab and watched the form of Marluxia work away... it looked really strange. He was so use to Vexen hunched over that desk working away and seeing Marluxia there instead of Vexen was too funny and giggling in Demyx's girlish voice Xemnas(Demyx) couldent help but blush at the stupidity going through his mind... This whole 'I am Demyx' thing was really bugging him...
(were those last two quotes from V for Vandetta?I love that movie!) Xemnas grouned, he rolled over onto his side then and curling up went back to sleep. He was exausted and didnt even care that he was lying on the ground covered in dirt and probablly had a spider crawling on him knowing his luck.(There is indeed a spider crawling on him) He tried to wake up and opening his bright orange eyes for a moment he looked around seeing who was there but with that done he pulled his hood back on and rolled onto his stomech back asleep and now using a rock for a pillow.
Xemnas(Demyx) walked into Vexen's lab. He knew it would be quite and sitting down he began to relax and rubbing his temples he let out a tired sigh. He didnt open his eyes but quitely stated "Dont rush Vexen, I'd rather have you put us back right than do a rush job and screw something up. I might not be concidered by most as the respective superior at the moment, but I'm just making a point." He then simply sat and listened to the scratching of a pencil against paper. He always felt calmer in the lab... it was a quite place and it didnt require him thinking or attempts at feeling. Heck he wasnt even angry at Vexen... He was more angry at Xigbar and Saix who had tried to boss him around... (sorry, I kinda disapeared for a bit!^.^ I'm back!)
