OOC: Hmm... BIC: A keyblade buzzed Vecked's nose, embedding itself in the ground exactly in front of him. Vecked turned to see Tera Roth slowly stand up. "A pawn..." Tera Roth said, as the keyblades all disappeared into light. "A pawn..." he muttered as he brought Unlimited into his attack position. "A pawn...am I?" Tera Roth looked up. "A monster? A pawn? Which is it?" His eyes closed. "Vecked...I can never forgive you...But this isn't about revenge." Tera Roth shook his head. "This is about pride. Honor. And...love. I no longer have any wish to die as a Heartless...I have hope that one day, I will be able to return these hearts to their original owners, and become merely human again. But until that day...I will crush anyone who tries to hurt those I care about..." "Vecked, someone like you...I can NEVER lose to..." Tera Roth's power began increasing...it doubled, then tripled...the ground began to crack and the air started to spark around him... "You Vecked, I will not just defeat, I will DESTROY!" Tera Roth outstretched a hand along his sword blade, and snarled out several words. Pain exploded in Vecked's head, bringing him to his knees, arching his back as it felt like a giant vice was smashing his skull. Slowly the sensation spread downwards...then suddenly it stopped. Turning, Vecked saw a very tired looking Xardius leaning over an unconscious Tera Roth, who he'd just socked in the head with his sword handle. Gasping for breath, Xardius limped over to Vecked. "You all right?" Vecked nodded. "Good, because we've still got plenty to do..." Xardius grumbled. "Where's the Jack and Ace?"
OOC: And I have no time left. BIC: Tera Roth gasped as the flames hit his face, but still managed to slam a fist into Vecked's jaw. "You idiot!" Tera Roth snarled. "Alyt was the first one I told!"
Highwind ripped through the energy blast with a quietly called, "Burning Vengeance", sweeping his keyblade through the backhanded slash and closing the distance Xegreny had opened with a spin thrust at his waistline.
Highwind shook his head. "Good luck." Pulling out his long sword, he held it in 'Sephiroth' position, that is: handle at left shoulder, blade angled down to right foot. "Obliterate. Omega," Highwind said, and his sword flashed white, shifting into a behemoth of a keyblade, completely black. "Dragon Flash," Highwind said, moving at the speed of lightning, his keyblade slashing upwards... EDIT: *** Tera Roth's keyblade armor simply let the bullets pang off him. "Vecked. I may be a monster...but I have never, ever fought for myself, whereas you..." Tera Roth chuckled darkly. "You are nothing but a selfish coward. Perhaps less of one. I always thought you were smarter than to charge at a superiorly-armed opponent. Letting your emotions get the better of you is somewhat...disappointing." The next instant, he was in front of Vecked, slamming his sword handle into Vecked's stomach.
"I can't fight all that well, honestly," Tyre said, smiling. "So, I guess we'll go against each other at once!" Highwind snorted. Xardius sighed. "Tyre, just admit you want to fight me." Tyre smiled some more, then looked straight at Xardius and said, "I want to fight you, Xardius. Highwind, you get the weak one." In a flash, both men were gone, leaving Highwind and Xegreny facing each other. Highwind shrugged. "Good luck, kid." *** Tera Roth didn't even flinch. "If you think that's going to stop me, you're wrong. Because no one is in that building. In fact, there's no one not capable of defending himself in the entire city. Without your tricks, Vecked, you're just a shab." The keyblades slammed into Vecked full speed, slamming past him and ripping right through the building... "Gale," Tera Roth said. "I'll reign in...Didn't you want to show Wing what you'd learned?" He turned to Gale, and smiled. "Or was all that time you spent training going to be wasted?" His eyes softened, and he looked down. "Now that you know what I am, are you...scared? Do you hate me? You definitely have the right to...After all..." His fists clenched. "I am just a monster." EDIT OOC: Since I don't know where to edit, let's just say that the cocoon worked...to a degree. Lol, arch-enemies saving each other, what fun.
Xardius sighed, and began dragging Xegreny off the field. "I don't know how strong he is, honestly. I don't think I've ever fought him at full strength. But, to tell you the truth, I don't think it'll be just Tyre, and I know I can't take both Tyre and Highwind by myself. Wing and the others should be fine..." *** The keyblades stopped cold inches from Tera Roth. "It's not a trick. I control every single one of these keyblades." Tera Roth smiled. "I don't know why or how...but when I was killed by a Heartless, and my heart was stolen, I didn't let go of my heart that easily. Some piece of me remained. That piece overthrew the animal that preyed on other's hearts...I became a Heartless with a heart. After gaining control of my new body, I began fighting the other Heartless. But...without a keyblade, I couldn't release the hearts. So, I put them in me...And I grew in strength and power. Eventually, I was able to regain my original form. By then, the number of hearts inside me had topped the billions." "That's when Darius found me," Tera Roth said. "He heard my story, and as a Guardian, decided to forgo my elimination as a Heartless. Instead, he erased my memory, and sealed my power, but even he couldn't seal it forever...so the day came, not too long ago, when I remembered it all. Remembered how I'd begged him to kill me with his power, to release all the hearts that I'd been carrying for so long..." "So," Tera Roth finished. "Now that you've listened to my sob story, I'm afraid that this is really the end. Because, you see, every keyblade here...I control. There's a keyblade for every strong heart...Out of the billions inside me, how many do you think are strong enough?" Tera Roth chuckled a little, then began laughing. "Why am I asking? LET ME JUST SHOW YOU!" Power rippled out of Tera Roth, warping the ground in waves from his power as every keyblade vanished in light and appeared around Tera Roth, surrounding him in spheres of death, changing form to wrap themselves around him in constantly moving armor. "I'll try not to kill you, Wing," Tera Roth said, as he stood on keyblades hovering above the ground. "For Gale." He thrust his right arm forward, and as a giant maelstrom of death, a thousand keyblades flashed forward...
Xardius grabbed Xegreny's shoulder. "No, you're with me. We're going to take on Tyre...together...because alone...I don't have a prayer." *** "I don't think you QUITE understand," Tera Roth said, rage bubbling into his voice. Grasping his sword handle in both hands, he cried, "Release! Unlimited!" The reaction was immediate. His sword veritably exploded in light, shifting form into a sword the size of his body in length, with cracked edges and a sapphire stone set near the base. From the sky, keyblades began raining...
Xardius shook his head. "I think you're wrong, Vecked. Am I right, Tera? Do you remember now?" Tera Roth smiled slightly as he pointed his sword at the group. "And here I was the one who'd thought you'd forgotten? Have an answer yet?" Xardius swallowed. "Well, uh, here's the thing, I kind of..." Tera Roth shook his head. "You did forget. Let me explain for the rest of you." He closed his eyes, then opened them, power rushing through him as he did so. His pupils dilated, and his eyes began to glow yellow. "I am a Heartless," he stated. "And I am the most powerful one in existence."
"Not MY people," Tera Roth said, his eyes narrowing. "But I'll tell you what. If you can get past me, Tyre, Highwind, the Ace, and the Jack, no one else will try to stop you. Deal?" Smiling, Tera Roth slowly pulled his sword from its sheath behind his waist. "So...let's get started."
"Are we getting paid?" Xardius grumbled, stepping back onto the gummi ship with everyone else, and setting in the coordinates for Destiny Islands. Another landing and deportation successful. Xardius looked around. "So I'm guessing that the big building over there is probably the CG HQ, right? Well, then..." "Hold it," a voice said from behind the group, and Tera Roth stepped out of the shadows. "if you're heading there, I'm going to need you to state your purpose. After all, last I heard, you were targeting my boss for elimination." EDIT OOC: Gotta eat dinner, be back in a few.
"So..." Xardius started. "Do you know where the Central Government is right now?"
Everyone else piled on... Xardius drove to TWTNW, almost falling asleep from the boring trip, then he landed, and ordered everyone off... Everyone piled off... "Now what?" Xardius said. "Where's Vecked? He's supposed to be right where we land, like every character that we have to go to a world to find."
OOC: Maybe you're right. And I don't have a skype? What is that? BIC: "Yeah, so get in the ship," Xardius grumbled, walking inside.
OOC: Okay, I'll get on it! BIC: Xardius stared at Nulix for a second. "Yeah, okay, I'll believe you." His gummi ship landed within the next two seconds, and Xardius walked over to it. "Next stop: The World that Never Was." OOC: Oh, since you're going to be gone, do you want me to control Vecked and Nulix? It won't be for anything major, since if we're going to tackle the Central Government, it means several people we'll just have to fight to get to them. Roar my characters!!! *ahem*
OOC: Oh. Hi Nulix. Hey, since you're here, do you want another Nulix / Vecked avatar/sig? And what do you think of Alyt's? (Since she's your character as well.) BIC: Xardius nodded. "Yes, that's true. I was simply saying that I doubt we could even start to fix the worlds back without Kingdom Hearts back to normal, which I think you'll agree on. Without the ruling heart, the rest of the hearts have no guide to go off of, if you get what I'm saying."
OOC: Bye Nulix, except you're already gone... And I feel I have to share what Gale's avatar says: Not quite miserable. Younger brother to Wing. Learning from the best. (Of course, by this I mean Tera Roth...or not.) BIC: Xardius shrugged. "I don't think anything will go back to normal until Kingdom Hearts is fixed. That bomb hurt it, but it didn't destroy it, and the chaos is because of that." What he didn't mention was what he theorized what would happen if Kingdom Hearts was ever completely "destroyed"... OOC: Oh, and here are some more avatars...sorry Jaxed, you'll have to wait for a bit...I just barely found a really great picture for yours. :) Hidden, your sig will be done soon, as will Xane's new avatar and stuff. Darkrai Brotherhood Signature Bellatrix Avatar Azull Avatar Alyt Avatar
OOC: It might be...I found everything on Photobucket. BIC: Xardius pulled out a remote and pressed a button. "My gummi should be exiting from orbit. Should be here in no time."
OOC: I don't have time right now, but I'll add it later. Thanks a lot Hidden. And we'll wait for Star and you Jaxed...I want everybody here at the same time, so everybody knows what's going on. I won't be able to be on very much today, so we'll either start tomorrow or the next day. And I might get a job today. Yayz! Moneyz!
OOC: FYI, I still have more. Here's a few more...And I'm open to suggestions! I have other pictures, or if you want to give me one, I'll make a sig and avatar for you. And I can definitely change what they say on them. Geryl's Avatar Geryl's Sig Gale's Avatar Falcon's Avatar Enigmatic Knight Sig I have others, but I'll have to wait for later. Don't really expect me on today, sorry.
OOC: Gotta go. Won't be back till tomorrow, late. BIC: Xardius motioned everyone through the portal, then closed it. Breaking into a trot, he ran to the desert city and looked around, before finally spotting Wing. Opening another portal, he grabbed Wing, who was sleeping face down on a table, and jumped through the portal.
