"Initiate Universal Manual Voice Override! Passcode: "Wily Bass Treble Elemental *-*-*-*-*-*-*!" Every single projectile immediately ceased and the entire court could hear Tron crying out in agony as he was ejected cleanly from the main and sub security grids. "You want to blame someone, blame that cat," he growled. "He caused my family to die. He destroyed an entire village with his presence. Hell, that demon was the cause of my world falling into the darkness." Zack wasn't usually this emotional, but they had to know the truth. "He showed up during a critical moment when the world was on the verge of destruction. That demonic grin of his distracted my people as he began to start one of his damn riddles. The world's core imploded in the middle of his speech, taking everyone's life. I was on another planet on...er...business, when the news reached me. From that day forward, I became the very person you see today: broken, bitter and sexually-repressed." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "All security systems, nullify all Wonderland magic immediately. Specify target: Cheshire Cat. Activate "Illusion Breakers", "Swap Negation," "Antimorphers," and "Wormhole Seals." His eyes narrowed. He pressed a button on his glove and a field of tachyon particles enveloped his entire body giving him a glowing look. "Cat. I know you're still in this courtroom. The moment you reappear, you're stuck. You can't disappear or switch out anymore. You try the whole disembodiment thing, consider yourself beheaded. If you try to do the whole "Behind the Back" trick, your internal systems will liquefy if ANY part of you appears within three feet of my body. And it will work ONLY on you. No more making others suffer for your misdeeds. I swore you'd pay and your life is forfeit..." Like Zack reasoned before, he may be an "evil genius", but the cat deserved a worse fate for his existence. Kairi looked over at Sora and Riku. "Well that explains a lot. And here I thought the guy was just a total spaz." But something didn't seem right with that story. Finally she said, "Couldn't your people have been t..." "Teleported?" Zack finished. "As if. They were trying to regulate the planet's core, not trying to escape. Trust me when I say there weren't any survivors. I've got the DNA samples to prove it." Then he looked over at the comatose judge. "Your safe wasn't as foolproof as you thought. You mind making a better one this time?" Naminé didn't know what to make of Zack's explanation. If he were telling the truth, it would explain a lot. But if he weren't... She shook her head. The whole point of the trial was for Luxord. So what was taking the judge so long?
Suddenly bolts of lightning shot out from the four corners of the courtroom and struck a spot immediately right next to Repliku. Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, the bailiff stormed straight toward Repliku with murderous intent in his eyes. When he finally made it into the witness box, a bold smirk appeared on his face. The Cheshire Cat. Although there was no visible damage to the creature, it could no longer use its infamous disappearing trick. "Excuse me, Repliku, but I've got some business with this sorry excuse of life," Zack growled. Then staring down at the cat he said, "I've been wanting to meet you face-to-face for a VERY long time." An aura of chaotic energy began to emanate from him body. "No more disappearing. No more stealth, coward. You're not in Kansas, Wonderland or wherever you demons come from. But know this. You...will...die..." And with that, Zack punted the purple fuzzball clear across the courtroom straight into the defendant's booth. "Continue on with the trial, everyone. I've got a murderer to bring to justice." He glanced over at the judge. "Unless you can cage him like you did that Experiment." In an astonishing feat, Zack leapt straight from the edge of the witness box to the defendant's booth and began searching for the annoyance. Naminé cringed in disgust at the cat, but couldn't deny the feeling that was starting to build up within her. But when Roxas started to "dust" her, her eyes snapped back into focus and instinctively elbow dropped Roxas straight down into the back of his neck. Of course, this movement forced him onto her lap, but still running on fury and adrenaline, she yanked his head up by the bushy hair and slammed him across the face with her drawing pad. "Get off of me, already!" She stood up and looked over at Kairi. "Can we switch seats?" Kairi, who wholeheartedly understood Naminé's predicament, nodded and sat next to Roxas while Naminé sat next to Sora. If anything happened to her, Kairi was confident Sora and/or Riku would deal with Roxas one way or another. And that's when the bolts of lightning struck dangerously close to them. Immediately next to Repliku was a smoldering purple creature that was unmistakably the Cheshire Cat. Naminé was about to give the cat a piece of her mind, but that's when the bailiff appeared. He seemed to have a lot of animosity toward the cat and was almost stunned to see it being punted across the courtroom with absolutely no remorse. She was starting to think it was animal abuse, but it was a Disney character like everyone else. No one gave it a second thought when making a duck and a mouse to get beaten up on. There was no difference in having a cartoon cat (an annoying one at that) getting pummeled. So Naminé sat back in her seat, keeping a weary eye on Roxas...
Zack's eyes widened as he heard a VERY familiar voice coming from the safe. No. Not him. ANYONE but him. The F***ing Cheshire Cat?! It had been awhile, but he had never forgotten what that jack@$$ had done. He caused an entire town to fall into ruins and despair with his phantom presence. His evil, maniacal grin always there. Watching. Just being smug and almighty as if it were omniscient. Yeah, Zack may have been an "evil genius." But the cat was a demon from hell. It had caused his entire family to be murdered by an insane psychopath that had been "blessed" with its presence. He quietly went to the backroom and went to the control center. After inputting a few new parameters in the programming, he walked back to the courtroom feeling content. Justice would be served. And the cat would learn the meaning of fear...
Simple. Uninstall DirectX and re-install it. That same thing happened to me with Adobe Flash Player. I couldn't watch any YouTube videos until I did that. :nono:
Dude? Nao said that she wasn't ticklish. Why would I want to waste my time with her? Amber's the real prize... :sly: :sigh: Why are you showing up AFTER all of this went on? You could've taken her earlier! Hey! Wedding's been put off long enough! And it should be EPIC! ... ...wait. Why am I so concerned? That's YOUR job! YOU finish the chapter! I'LL go and... You realize that Amber was in a dungeon and you could've used your bondage equipment there, right? :blink: GRRAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! %$#@$*@&#^$*@#*$&^@%&^$#@!!!!! Just shut up and get back inside me already. It's getting late again.
Zack could barely conceal a grin. At this rate, he would win the bet and be able to lay the smackdown on both two of the most annoying creatures he had ever met. He tightened his gloves, waiting for the moment to strike... Kairi could sympathize with Harvey. She only hoped Janexna would agree with him and stay out of the arguing or else this entire open and shut case would run on forever... Naminé's head drooped to her chest. Calling up a witness would just cause more grief. The whole event was captured on camera. In fact, she even remembered this one video on YouTube that made a parody of the whole thing. What was it called again? "KH Ultimate Team-Up?" Of course, that video would've made it look like Goofy caused the cannons to fire...
Yup. Ol' Bucky is Captain America. The one with a gun, a metal arm and the vibranium shield. And of course, the Red Skull will still be around as sure as the Mandarin will be tormenting Iron Man or a buncha idiots think Spider-Man is a criminal. :xp:
OOC: Four things I want to point out. 1. Luxord already turns himself into cards so trying to transform him into one is pretty useless. 2. I thought you said you were going to make a run for it. 3. Who in the world would want to be paired with Luxord? 4. Watch the OOC spamming. You seem to be doing OOC more than IC dialogue...:huh: Oh, and just because the Heartless is called the "Grim Reaper" doesn't mean that it's the ACTUAL Grim Reaper of Death. It's just a name and they have no relations whatsoever. So, it's NOT a god like Luxord believes.
OOC: Pika already brought up Jiminy earlier when Zack messed up with the stupid spell-check. And we already know Luxord SUMMONED the Heartless. But there must've been some loss in translation...:sideways: BIC: Kairi's jaw dropped. The only thing she could think of was "What the feezy?" Harvey had only put five charges up which seemed pretty reasonable, but the Pokémon prosecutor added... She was just stunned. This was supposed to be an open and shut case, but all of these additional charges just seemed redundant and improvised. Kairi wondered if this was just an attempt to stall the trial for as long as possible, because these new charges didn't seem all that necessary... Naminé sighed. Luxord wasn't exactly making things easy for anyone. In her opinion, he should've just answered the questions to humor Pika, so they could get to the next trail already. Zack rolled his eyes. At the moment, the only sane people in this entire courtroom were Janexna and Harvey. Everyone else was being stubborn. "King with a High" refused to answer the stupid questions already so everyone could go on with their organic, pain-collecting lives. The yellow poo-ball was being just as stubborn with his whole "Look at me, all Org are scum and they should be treated that way." And Xelax...the cloaked numbskull who thought "Light is evil, nothingness rules, darkness...meh." But seriously. What was up with the judge? Zack was starting to wonder if maybe this person was nothing more than an avatar, just eyes and ears, a puppet that wouldn't move unless its owner got back to the controls. Because right now, Erkz' eyes seemed to be glazed over and unblinking. Either he was daydreaming or... He looked over at Janexna, Denise, Kairi and Namine. If he were judge, he'd have deemed everyone as guilty two seconds into the trial and these girls would be sentenced to be part of his harem...not that he had a harem to begin with...
Kairi raised an eyebrow. Janexna obviously wasn't paying attention when Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth's intentions were finally revealed. She would've explained, but it wasn't her place to say anything. Zack, however, had no qualms to speaking. "Ol' frilly prosecutor up there said the Prosecutor's office assigned him the case of trying Sora after the Organization trial is complete," he explained. "Which means that if that comes to pass, your roles will have been fulfilled, all new teams will come in and another pointless set of bickering will start all over again." In his opinion, however, he felt that it would be a waste of time, effort and useless brain power. It was bad enough they were doing these cloaked bozos... Naminé sighed. She had hoped no one would bring up the issue again. Edgeworth seemed to have been contemplating what she had said earlier, but she didn't know if she got through to him or not...
OOC: Alright. I just wanted to know if Zack was doing the right thing or not by forcing Luxord back onto the stand. BIC: Kairi had absolutely no idea what was going on. The case seemed to be an open and shut bit, but forcing Luxord back to the stand when there was no real reason for him to be there just seemed to be elongating the entire trial. Naminé didn't know what to think at this point. She could still feel Roxas' groping hands scrabbling all over her skin. The sheer memory of it gave her goosebumps. She should've felt worried, but she knew he could take care of himself...
I believe the Code Vault doesn't count either. It's just not labeled. :huh:

OOC: BTW, Pika is correct, right? Luxord can't leave the stand unless he's been excused? Or was he allowed to leave as soon as the charges were being argued? :huh: I mean, Larxene was allowed to leave when the charges started becoming a debate, but Jack Sparrow had to be forced to stay for his Testimony...
OOC: Kairi ran after Namine seconds after she left, so Sora's pretty much talking to thin air. :xp: Also, we all know Wiki can't be trusted in info, so it may or may not be canon. That's for Erkz to decide... Naminé was already back inside the courtroom by the time Kairi finally caught up with her. "So what's been going on?" Kairi asked. Naminé only shrugged. "As far as I can tell, the bailiff's attempts to get fresh with Janexna were thwarted by his conscience." "I meant about the trial." "Oh, that? Just the defense trying to put up a decent fight but starting to get slaughtered by evidence the prosecution found in contradicting evidence. That and Luxord left the witness stand before the Cross-Examination was over. How's Roxas?" Now it was Kairi's turn to shrug. "Beats me. Last I saw, Sora and Riku were helping him out of that wall you smashed him through..." Zack realized the furball was right. Luxord was NOT excused from the witness stand. Seeing as how he hadn't hesitated to stop Roxas from taking Jack Sparrow out, he marched up straight to Luxord, carried him over his shoulder and placed him roughly back on the witness stand. "We didn't tolerate it with Captain Sparrow. You're no different."
Zack almost gleefully whipped out his needle again until he heard the cute vixen mention the whole "No Side Effects" condition. That took some of the fun out of doing her. 'So much for the aphrodisiac...' he thought grimly to himself. He was sorely tempted to do the whole "Drop your skirt, bend over and cough while I stick this needle into your nice, shapely behind" bit, but decided against it. All the while cursing himself for having a stupid code of chivalry, Zack removed a small silver cylindrical object from an inside pocket and placed one end of it on Janexna's forehead. He applied a slight pressure and held it for five seconds before removing it. He gently took her face into his gloved hands and stared into her eyes, checking to make sure that the cocktail took effect. After seeing the redness in Janexna's eyes fade away, he removed his hands and nodded. "You should be fine now. Just make sure you drink plenty of water." He jerked his head toward the water cooler he had lugged in earlier. And with a cocky wink, he walked back to his position next to the judge's stand and resumed his serious demeanor.
Zack struggled not to let out a full out evil grin as he gave the silver-haired clone a look that said, 'Oh, hell yeah. You know it.' Although he didn't like the other silver-haired emo, respect for this kid in purple increased. The fiery red-head thought to himself, 'This could be the start of a beautiful...tolerance.'
Zack smirked at the feisty little diva. To have the galls to actually stand up and talk back to the little furball in that condition just made her seem more attractive. "You know, I have just the thing to bring you back to full health," he said with an arrogant swagger. "You've seen that I can cure drunkenness with just a shot. I can probably cure your sickness too if you want..."
"EEEK! NYAHAHAAHAA..." Despite how wrong it felt, Naminé couldn't help but burst out laughing as Roxas' hands began to grope around her most ticklish spots. She struggled to control herself, and eventually managed to tuck her legs to her chest and placing her sandals on Roxas' chest. Then with a mighty shove, she shot her legs outward and sent Roxas flying straight upward. Running on pure instinct, she did a backhand spring to her feet and caught poor Roxas in midair with a whirling hurricane kick, sending Sora's Nobody rocketing into the far wall with an earth-shattering crash. "You pervert!" she roared. As Naminé smoothed down her dress and her hair back into place, Kairi could only stare. "Girl, you got legs. But where'd you learn how to do that?" Naminé gave her a coy wink. "You already know the answer to that, Kairi. After all, Riku lent you the book for it." That would teach the boys not to take advantage of her. She jerked her head outward. "Shall we go back to the courtroom now?" And she trotted off. Kairi exchanged a look with Sora and Riku that said, "What the hell?" Then she glanced over at Roxas. "You might want to change back into your regular clothes after you peel yourself out from the wall." Looking back at Sora and Riku she said, "We'll meet you back at the courtroom, okay?" And with that, Kairi ran after Naminé leaving the other boys the task of helping Roxas out of the human-shaped crevice that he formed in the wall. Fortunately, the owner of the establishment was out for lunch...
Aren't we all slightly evil in some way? :o And yes, I'm using emoticons in almost every single post. How else would I express myself?
