OOC: Around the machine as a defense system.
Marluxia raised an eyebrow not turning around until after a moment, "well well...and what could this be..." he said tilting his head slightly noticing the sorcerer. He sighed receiving the relayed message, and rubbing his temples, "very well...tell Xemnas I shall do so here in a moment..." he said waving his hand in a dismissing manner. He turned looking back at Larxene who appeared to finally be in a somwhat state of relaxation since her body had shut down and her mind basically passed out. He thought for a moment before sensing that for some reason or another most of the members were actually now in the castle, including Xemnas himself. This was a rather odd coincidence, and then the fact he wished for the castle's defenses to be activated on top of that. He sat down next to Larxene, returning to rubbing her hand to aid her more, he wished for her to get well as soon as possible, their plan still at hand and the discussion unended. He closed his eyes conjuring a small black portal and staring into it, the controls to the defense system cover in vines.
OOC: Basement of the castle right, I thought I said that, my bad if not. BIC: He watched Xeltic make his leave, noticing that he had seemed to be rather unharmed, where as Larxene was almost at the point of fading away it seemed. He rubbed his temples shaking his head, so much pointless fighting, however that was just it, to her it wasn't pointless, and he at once took back the thought remembering what the guy had done. He turned back around slowly walking over to her still held up in the vines. He sighed observing the state she was in, he took off his glove feeling her forehead, and feeling her neck, also feeling her heartbeat and pulse. He grit his teeth at her ability to push herself even to this type of state, "so once again you will find refuge and rest in my bed...this is happening far too much..." he said taking her from the vines in his arms and opening a portal once again to his room. Upon entering his room he took off her coat for her, setting it on a nearby chair, he needed to cool her down somewhat from the heat radiating off her from the battle. He laid her in his bed and gently laid just one sheet over her, he walked to the bathroom wetting a towel before repeating the gesture of wiping her arms, face, and neck with it. He shook his head finally laying it on her forehead and taking her hand rubbing it slowly hoping to soothe her somewhat. "What is it that fuels you Larxene...what causes you to drive yourself to such extremes sometimes...this time was understandable..." he said his eyes gently meeting hers closed. "What good is my friend...my partner dead to me...." he said softly gently squeezing her hand.
Marluxia froze solid feeling the tension coursing through her body, he knew she was exerting her strength full force, the indecent act causing her logic and common sense to be long gone. He tightened the grip of his hands and his eyes narrowed, he wasn't about to let her extend her life to the limit. Regardless if they were nobodies, regardless if they weren't supposed to have emotions, if you could call it that he cared for her as his only friend in this pitiful existence. In a swirl of swift darkness cords he disappeared reappearing inbetween the two, "enough..." he uttered quietly conjuring forth his vines ripping up from the ground and wrapping around Larxene, at this point he was willing to hold her back even if there was a little pain. He looked her in the eyes, disappointed but actually a stern and slightly upset look in his eyes. "Sleep..." he said as some spores on the vine released a powder into her face, it wouldn't be long before it took its effect. "As far as you..." he said in his calm but still stern tone, "you shall remove yourself from my castle as you so called claim to want to follow through with..." he said not really awaiting an answer.
Marluxia sighed slightly hearing that Xemnas wished to be left alone, ironically the first and only time he actually wished to speak with him on his own time and the guy was busy. He tightened his hands but remained his composure of calm and collected, "I see..." he said softly his eyes trailing under his hood to meet Axel. "Well now I would prefer a much more secluded area from eyes of the untrusting...if you know what I mean..." he said slightly directing it at Axel himself too, "its a private discussion of what has been taking place in this Organization lately..." He dismissed the rose from his hand and sighed, "you surely must have a clue of what I speak of..." He looked around, "although this talk must take place after I speak with our superior..." he said raising an eyebrow as to what in the world Xemnas would want to be left alone for, was it he had finally had enough of the petty crap going on in the Organization. "I shall let you know when I have completed that process first..." He gave a slight wave to dismiss himself from Axel's presence, heading down the library, he figured he would read a bit on his history while waiting for Xemnas to make a meeting with him available to speak. He still couldn't grasp exactly why he wished for this discussion with him though.
OOC: "Interesting" Planning. And here I thought nobodies didn't have "emotions." BIC: Marluxia raised an eyebrow at the actions taking place, rather disgusted and yet finding it pathetically humerous at the same time. "Apparently she didn't receive enough "kissing" from me..." he said rolling his eyes and leaving heading back up to the upper floors. If that was all she came down their to do then he would be happy to let her have her moment. He sighed at her pathetic gesture, seems he had been wrong about her being firm in her belief of no emotions, she was the one at fault. He rubbed his temples before opening a portal, as much as he hated to admit it he was actually finding Xemnas to be the closest person now to being full head forward in the mind set of not having emotions. He stepped into the portal and appeared back out in the new headquarters of the world that never was, he stretched slightly before noticing Axel, "well well...figured I would find you here..." he said softly his hood still up. "Have things with Demyx calmed down...just a curious gesture of looking out for another member...for once I am not looking for trouble..." He conjured a rose and smelt it, relaxing from the aroma, "if I may...I would request a word with you when you get the chance later...for now I have words with Xemnas..." he said looking around. "I would be greatly obliged if you perhaps would know his where abouts..."
Marluxia shook his head, honestly it disgusted him to know that the only people who really returned to this castle was usually Larxene and himself. Despite being forced to relocate to the new headquarters he would not be forced to not stay at his castle for time. Everything he had accomplished and worked for was held up in this castle, and his future would be held in this castle soon enough. He walked down the hallways, deciding to head down to the basements to atleast check up on Larxene's fight, after all she was his greatest friend and partner. He slowly trailed through the portals of the floors and making his way down into the basements. As he looked around he even noticed that apparently Zexion, Lexaeus, and Vexen had all fully moved as well. He made his way to the room where the fight was taking place, taking a gander at the destruction that his castle had taken due to the annoyance. He sighed rubbing his temples, he just wanted this battle to be over with, he was one to usually not start a fight, however if he was dragged into one he would choose to end it as fast as possible. He did admire her grace and agility in her ability to fight though, she moved with a swiftness that even some of the other members couldn't keep up with. Ever since she joined she had given her all to developing her offensive and defensive skills, striving to not although the slightest bit of a flaw bring her down. That was just one reason he had become so close to her and a highly chosen reason to involve her as his partner in their scheme.
Marluxia walked down the hallway with a constant speed, not too fast, and not too slow, not one necessarily for purpose, but rather not just one for the heck of it either. He looked around from under his hood, the castle as dull as could be, and of course Xemnas was to be thanked for trying to relocate everyone to this so called better headquarters. However he wasn't lord of this headquarters, did not have a tool, and could not demand the respect and loyalty of anyone from this point of location. He sighed as he walked by Larxene's door, not bothering to stop and check if she was in, knowing full well that she was still in her precious battle. As if turning traitor on the Organization, putting them so far known against the other eleven wouldn't prove enough of a fight to satisfy her lust for blood. He knew there would be bloodshed, although in order to have a fairly strong Organization would require more fear to be instilled rather than a massacre. Even though his thoughts wandered on the possibilities and abilities to make it flawless, he was also curious of Xemnas's plans, as far as he knew they had accomplished the so called goal that was at hand. They had rescued Xioimara, which he still needed to have a moment with, considering she was technically still under his care. But what bothered him so was what Xemnas planned to do next, it was obvious he was rather caught up in all the little things happening, Demyx being a big part. He passed by room after room, each one finding no one inside to be found, nor a sound to be made, "odd...now where in the world could everyone be off to this time..." he said softly curious of the location of those words. He wasn't even thinking of trying to be sneaky if he thought of doing so, he knew it would prove useless against Xemnas in the long run, from now on he had to headstrong make his moves without fear.
Marluxia leaned back in his chair watching Namine draw, a blank and dull emotionless look across his countenance, however despite it though he really did hold an interesting for this young tool. As he had stated before, this girl was a nobody, a being born and bred of darkness, something that was supposed to be lacking in heart, more so in existence. Yet somehow the laws of nature, physics, be what may had allowed this girl to still possess her emotions intact and in full. He wasn't one to be full head forward into science like some of the others, however when he wished to know something he was sure one to put his all into it. That reasoning being the full standing point of this thoughts and actions that were considered treasonous of the others. Merely shook his head in a pathetic gesture, if these fools were content with just surviving so be it, he however would choose to take it to the next level. Then again he was all to sure in Xemnas's plan to start with...whole purpose to obtain hearts...however he made so many puns and jokes of the failure of having a heart. Ironic, contradictory, a lie he spat through his teeth everytime he had to bear hearing it from the man. "Purpose..." he uttered softly, watching Namine slowly tilt her head up before lowering it back down quickly, "but what purpose lies in store after said purpose is complete..." He removed himself from the chair, standing up and stretching somewhat, "remember what I said...the time is drawing closer...soon purpose will be reestablished to this Organization Namine..." he said heading for the door. He opened it, stepping inside of the doorway before stopping and motioning one last thing with his lips, "and I shall be the one to do it..." he said putting his hood up and walking out
Silax grit his teeth not wanting to leave Garxena, he knew was quite strong, he was the leader after all. He decided he would keep his eye out incase she needed help however rushed off quickly to aid Yeifou should he need it. Yeifou continued to deflect and dodge attacks coming at him, he knew he was not exactly in the right spot and needed to get back on the offensive atleast somewhat. "So are you telling me this whole time you have actually been training...your routine seems rather the same..." Telren's eyes narrowed at the comment, striking a little harder and faster, "or perhaps I have just had my minions bring me hearts...you forget that they affect us in different ways young fool...heartless feast...nobodies just wish for emotion..."
Silax nodded, "sounds good...I'll assist Garxena with this guy..." he said running over to Garxena's side. "In all things together right dear?" he said with a small smile. Yeifou coughed but composed himself within a split second, parrying and blocking, taking a defensive approach now hoping to pull off a move like Telren did. He kept his eyes pealed for an opening in his assault, "you know its great...because of you...we have brought this Organization back together...look around you..." Telren took a quickly look around, making a disgusted sound and shaking his head, "fool...you think that will be enough?" he said growing stronger in his strikes, "I shall show you no mercy this time..." He unleashed a complex number of strikes and slashes from all sides, now that he had him on the defensive side he wanted to see how well this would work for him.
Yeifou charged at Telren striking and slashing, the anger of him pulling that stunt with Kade again still fresh fueling his fury. "Lets see how you feel without your beloved...when you are laying dead in a puddle of darkness..." He continued to search for an opening, him being able to dual wield as well would prove hard though. Silax deflected as many as he could, letting the rest hit him, he breathed it before yelling out and aura flowing and ripping the kunai out of his body. He stretched and looked over at Kade, "Frostex...who do you want to go for..." he said quickly. Telren parried and blocked every attack Yeifou threw at him, "well well...someone needs to learn to control his fake emotions..." he said finding an opening and kicking Yeifou in the side. "Pathetic...you are worthless..." He glanced over at Garxena, "ah someone elses love is here too..." He activated the chip he had placed secretly into Reon's mind, mind controlling him, "deal with Garxena..."
Yeifou completely ignored Zepharus, he was tired of listening to the annoyance of his voice, forcefully shutting it out for the rest of the battle. He stretched slightly, "whats wrong Ina...didn't like taking back what is precious to me..." he said darkly. He tightened the grip on his dirks, "you want to try and prove that last statement...have at it..." Silax brushed Kade off a little noticing she seemed to be composed again, "welcome back..." he said quietly before turning back to face Telren, "I like a challenge...as long as you put up your end of the fight..." Telren rubbed his temples and sighed, "such a nuisance...yes please dear...rid us of one of the pests atleast please..." he said conjuring another lance. "You shall receive more than a challenge from me fools..."
What are you talking about silly?
Silax noticed Yeifou kneeling, a state of desperation of thought, he hadn't chosen to follow him yet, "Frostex was smart...however his head was not the part that was holding him...." he said concentrating. "Been a while since I have tried this..." he said as he focused on Ina's mind, he let lose his mind oblivion with would render someone unable to think or make actions based on the confusion of brainwaves. "Yeifou shut up and get her..." Yeifou closed his eyes taking in the words Kade was sending to his mind, knowing that he had to consider the Organization for once as well this time, show he had grown from those cowardice stages. He grit his teeth at Zepharus's words though, "watch your words carefully when involving my son...and if you want my trust and respect you shall not question my actions..." He jerked his head up hearing Silax, immediately running and grabbing her from Ina, giving her a solid kick in the gut. He jumped back giving her to Silax, "take care of her..." He nodded over to Frostex, "lets take these two..." Telren roared at the actions of the Organization, conjuring a lance in his hand, "you aren't the only one who has been seeking relief of yourselves...." he said helping and holding Ina close to him. "You have forgotten who was busy at work while you were sitting and doing nothing..."
Telren was thrown from the blow, however his grip on Kade not loosening in the least, dragging her with him to the ground before recomposing himself and brushing off the dust. "I would suggest if you wish not to see harm done...then you will not make a foolish effort like that again..." he seethed. Yeifou grit his teeth even more, unsure of what to do exactly, "very well..." he said ignoring Zepharus's crys, "I know what I am doing...you remember your job..." he sent back on edge because of the situation. "So all you ask is that I bow to you?" Silax took the moment to get Garxena close to him, now that he had her he knew very well a taste of the situation Yeifou and Kade had been forced into time and time again.
Marluxia sat down in a chair opposite of Namine, "even though I require your assistance for parts of my plan to work...you still will not receive any clue as to what I am up to..." he said softly conjuring a rose inbetween his fingers. "You know...the lack of trust is so very apparent amongst some of these fools..." He took a moment to inhale the aroma of the rose, breathing out lightly and relaxing, it always seemed to have that effect on him. "Let us be thankful that you are safely up here while on other floors and basements people are busy at work trying to destroy each other..." He sighed shaking his head, "if only people understood the pure beauty of things..." He rubbed his temples, "its a pity you did not pick up anything on Xemnas while during that short time you experienced under his care...before being assigned to myself..." he said glancing down at her then raising his eyes again. "Although I would say you far enjoy my company more..." he said lightly brushing her cheek with his gloved hand. "So many...so many of the members envy what you hold in your chest..." he said shaking his head, "that is why they are fools...in order to have a heart and emotions...you must forfeit the right and ability to defend such things..." He closed his eyes, "for you see...true power does not involve a heart...however that will be our little secret..."
Yeifou tensed wanting to assault Telren right now, if only he hadn't used his love to hold him back, a cowardice trick he had not seemed to give up. "What do you want this time...what do I have to do to make sure Kade is safe from your sickly hold..." Silax managed to throw his replica off his trail for a while, taking a stance next to Yeifou, "dang it...hes pulling this number again?" he said with a sigh. "You really are a fool Telren..." Telren raised an eyebrow, "you have an awfully smart mouth since I hold the ace..." he said picking up Kade and holding her up by the back of her cloak. "I want you to surrender...and bow before me..."
Telren thought for a moment, "really she doesn't serve much purpose to me other than that...unless perhaps you hold an idea dear?" he asked curious. He was always open of ideas from his lover, someone he would share eternity with. Yeifou grit his teeth and threw the replica a little ways, "what is it you said you had for me you..." he stopped mid sentence seeing Kade. He tightened his grip on his dirks, "you...how dare you pull such a stunt yet again...are you still that cowardly?!"
Telren nodded, "you know he is not my other half Ina...you are..." he said softly before turning back to face where Yeifou was fighting. "Very good...show me what you have learn cooped up in that headquarters for so long...great leader of the Organization..." He laughed lightly, "then when you finish there...we have something we would like to show you over here..." Yeifou grit his teeth trying to concentrate on fighting his replica, however Telren's nuisance of a voice coming through to him loud and clear. "Just give me a few more minutes...I shall be happy to give you something as well..." Silax continued to madly swing and slash until he felt one of his dirks make direct contact with his replica's side, he grinned feeling darkness seep out and over his hand. "Well well...I guess we could be called brothers...have the same blood..." he said ripping out his dirk and kicking the replica back a little.
