OOC: BOOYA, the best sword-fighting movie ever! And I got one too. It took me forever to answer that guy. BIC: Xardius and Cloud both turned to see a fight going on where they had been. Xardius frowned. "Not good." He grabbed Cloud, and warped right into the middle of the battle. Cloud leaped for all his swords, connecting them together, and began ripping apart shadow things left and right. Xardius turned and sliced through a shadow monster, then felt bullets hitting his armor. Turning, he saw a man on a motorcycle with long silver hair shooting him. Xardius frowned, and flipped up and over the man, slicing downwards. The man dodged smoothly and shot Xardius in the back some more. Xardius felt like a lumbering giant. At least my armor protects me... The man aimed for his head. Xardius quickly snapped out a small rock-like item, and flicked it. A helmet popped out and Xardius snapped it over his head. Bullets hit his face plate seconds later, but Xardius felt nothing. Nothing could stop him now. He charged the man, who sneered at him and veered away from his motorbike. Xardius stopped and called out, "CHICKEN!" Suddenly, he was on his face from the force of a smash from another man. Xardius swept his sword up and into the motorbike that was charging over him. "Don't make me mad," Xardius called, charging after the damaged motorcycle. OOC: Wooh, probably took me less time than you think. Sorry about the length though.
"Well," Xardius frowned. "Guess I better tell him that." Xardius jumped off Chomper, and then tapped into his crystal. Instantly, he warped in front of Cloud. He stuck out his arm and Cloud hit it full speed, flipping over it and then slamming into the ground, coughing. "Sorry 'bout that," Xardius said, not sounding sorry. "But I'm supposed to stop fighting the poor guy with the mental issues." Cloud growled something insulting and got up, brushing himself off. Xardius just smiled.
OOC: Oh, that's all right. I didn't mind that much. I just think we should probably stick to controlling our own characters as much as possible, unless it's absolutely necessary to move on in the story. It was just like, WOAH! I just got pawned...And no one likes that unless they're pawning themselves. Right? BIC: Xardius was surprised, to say the least, when an Assassin Nobody suddenly popped out of nowhere next to him. "What the...?" Xardius spluttered. "What do you want?" OOC: I didn't see your edit...just a sec.
Xardius peered down at Geryl, Wing and Oxyrt who had appeared from nowhere, then at Cloud, who wasn't even paying attention to him, and decided it was about time he showed everyone just how powerful he was... "Hey Cloud!" Cloud's head snapped around. "We're not done yet..." Chomper suddenly appeared in Xardius' hands, and sliced upwards, slamming into Cloud's swords and blowing him away. Xardius leaped after, snapping after Cloud, slicing blow after blow after blow on the man. Cloud blocked them all, except for Xardius' booted kick that sent him flipping into a vertical rock, which he somehow managed to twist and bounce off of. Xardius landed next to him and the two started to fight vertically, up and down the rock. Cloud had the edge with his two swords, but Xardius was faster, slicing up and down everywhere on Cloud's range. Cloud held Xardius at bay while slicing through the rock near Xardius. Xardius flipped off the collapsing stones, and chased after Cloud, who was hopping like mad across the rocks towards Midgar. Xardius growled and leaped onto Chomper, taking off on it like it was some kind of hoverboard. Cloud was a blur of speed, racing like mad across the desert, and Xardius was amazed that someone like Cloud even existed. Xardius had never lost a fight in his life...not even the day he died. Now, skidding low on the ground with Chomper as his hoverboard, Xardius knew that this was gonna be one heck of a fight... OOC: Sorry if I'm power-playing, but I want some action...and no butting in next time Geryl, please...
OOC: Hey, guys, why don't we go to a Final Fantasy world next, like Midgar or something? If you guys don't want to, that's cool, but Xardius is in the Final Fantasy 7 world right now...At least we won't have to worry about dumb Disney characters any more (although some of them are pretty cool). BIC: Xardius folded his arms. "I am Xardius, a member of the Ultimate Organization. And you are?" The man took off his riding goggles that he was wearing. "The name is Cloud Strife...Have you seen a guy with long silver hair, and a dark wing over one shoulder?" "No," Xardius said, staring at Cloud. Cloud sighed. "I chased him here, back to my first home, but I can't find him. His name is Sephiroth and he is what holds me to my dark past. He is attempting to control me through my darkness, but ever since Tifa helped me with her light, I haven't seen hide nor hair of him." Xardius shrugged. "I'd help you look, but there's something I'm supposed to be doing right now..." Cloud folded his arms too. "You mentioned an Organization. You don't happen to be part of an Organization XIII, do you?" "Never heard of 'em," Xardius said. "Though some lameo in a skirt was probably wondering the same thing earlier at the Olympus Coliseum..." "You must mean Hercules," Cloud said. "I fought against him once...Tough guy." "I pulverized him," Xardius said proudly. "Oh, really?" Cloud said, glancing at Xardius' back. "That's an interesting sword you have..." "Chomper," Xardius said. "Would you like a formal introduction?" His right hand shot up and pulled Chomper from its holdings. "I can't say I trust you very far, 'Xardius,'" Cloud said, shrugging. "Member of Organization XIII or not, you fought Hercules, who I know to be good. That must mean..." His motorbike suddenly popped open in several places and swords popped out in holdings. Cloud spun several out, flipping them out, pulling out more and ending with a large one. As each one fell, he caught it and snapped it into the large one, creating a massive sword. "That you must be bad," Cloud finished. "You're toast." Xardius shrugged. "Bring it on, pretty boy." The two faced off, Xardius with Chomper, Cloud with his Fenrir swords, each waiting for the other to make a move. Xardius paused. "You might want to get off the bike, bozo." Cloud smiled, and leapt forward. Xardius swung Chomper in an interception point, and the two collided, sparks flying everywhere.
Xardius stared out at the scene below him. A massive city lay before him, most of it in ruins but another city growing to the side of it. A sign beside him said, "Midgar." Xardius turned and saw a sword sticking out of the ground. Going to it, he suddenly heard the purr of a motorbike. "Who are you?" a quiet voice said. Xardius turned and saw a man in a sleek back outfit with spiky blond hair sitting astride a matching color motorbike.
Xardius sat up suddenly. Man, he thought. I always fall asleep at the wrong times. I must really need to recharge my crystal. He looked around, shivering. All he saw was white. Where am I? He looked down. He was back in his armor. He stood up. All he could see was white. He closed his eyes and suddenly everything came into sharp focus. He was a in a circular room, with different portals surrounding him. When he opened his eyes, the room stayed in focus. He saw three red portals and the rest were black... Stepping towards one of the black ones, he looked up. A long meteor was engraved in the doorway. Stepping to another, he saw two people, a man and a woman, hugging each other. "Weird," he thought. Stepping up to the one with the meteor, he walked forward into darkness...
Xardius was rather enjoying himself...until a conch head thing bit his leg. Frowning, he picked it up as it snarled at him and screamed profanities. "Shut up," Xardius said, "I don't like things that curse." The thing's eyes widened as Xardius drop-kicked straight into Davy Jones' face.
Xardius cracked some more skulls, then tapped into his crystal. Flames shot out of his hands and ignited the enemies around him. They howled and raced off towards the sea... Xardius grinned, and reached for Chomper. It wasn't there. Huh? he thought. That's weird. Must be too big. He shrugged. Oh well, as long as I get it back afterwards I don't mind all that much... Seeing Vexneah in trouble, Xardius flipped over towards her, mushing in more faces next to her. An axe slashed down onto his armor and then blew away from the outflux of energy. Xardius laughed at the creature's incredulous expression and cratered in its chest with his fist. "Eat that sucker!" he called.
King Mickey might have been talking to Sora through the Keyblade... But you're probably right in saying that it's Terra. Good explanation, convinced me almost completely...I like to stay open to things, though.
OOC: Thanks. He still probably wants to do something with Jack and all that, though. Maybe I'll PM him. And gerlert, we're in Port Royal, fighting Davy Jones for a piece of the map that leads to Retlaw. Join in if you want. And Oxyrt's still offline. BIC: Xardius breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think he could handle getting hit by a third cannonball. He suddenly realized that more pirates were racing towards him screaming in fury. Sighing, Xardius waded in, laying out punches and knocking down whoever came near him.
Xardius finished cracking his guy's skull, when he was propelled forward by a stupid Sorcerer's shield that suddenly came up. Barreling into about three other sea-things, Xardius stood up and shook his head. He saw Geryl waving at a squid-faced guy who he assumed from his groggy dreams (somebody must have fed him rum, curse them) was Davy Jones. Geryl yelled, "Parley!" Xardius rolled his eyes as Davy Jones waved at Geryl and lit a cannonball fuse. OOC: Didn't Oxyrt want to finish this? Slow down a little Geryl.
Xardius woke up by hitting his head on the board above him. "Aw, crap," he muttered, climbing out of bed, and swaying. "I hate water," he muttered, clawing for the ladder to get out of the cabin. Reaching the top, he blinked in the sunlight and saw Assassin nobodies getting ripped apart, Jack and Oxyrt staring at the people who were doing the ripping, and the rest of his buddies fighting against overwhelming odds. "Weird," Xardius said, and walked forward, only to fall off the ship onto the sand. Sitting up and shaking his head, he saw a guy with crustaceans all over his face and a crab hand for his left running towards him, swinging a thick sword in the other hand. "You've got to be kidding me," Xardius said. "The one time I don't feel like fighting..."
Xardius lifted himself up on the ropes and climbed onto the deck. He raised his eyebrows at all the Nobodies. "I"m fine, Vexneah," Xardius said. He looked down at his dress. "I can't believe I'm still in red...You look nice though." He turned at Geryl's words. "Captain Jack Sparrow? What a lame name..."
Xardius was just walking away from his cell when another cannonball burst through the wall and hit him...He slammed into the wall. Cursing under his breath, he walked up to the wall and screamed out at the ship that was turning around for him, "QUIT THROWING THE DANG CANNONBALLS AT ME!" Cannonballs immediately fired at him, and Xardius shook his head, leaping forward and into the ocean, leaving the cannonball at the hole.
OOC: I'm never getting off again... BIC: Xardius glumly sat in the cell across from everyone else, watching the ship sail away. Oh well, he thought. Guess I'll just sit here a while... He shifted the cannon ball off his lap where it had slammed into his gut. Not that it had hurt...too much...The British soldiers ran into the room, several going to the hole in the wall and firing at the ship. The others turned to Xardius and stared at him. One leaned down and followed the hole to Xardius' stomach. "You got a problem?" Xardius growled. "How did you...?" the soldier asked. "Muscle power, butthead, now get out of here before I pulverize you." "You can't get free..." the soldier said. "I'll stay here all night..." "Oh, really," Xardius said. "I can get out anytime I want." "Then DO!" the soldier laughed. Xardius shrugged, popped the chains out of the wall, stood up, yanked open the bars and punched the soldier straight into the others, who all fell into the ocean. "There you go," Xardius said, walking away. Looking down, he finally noticed his attire. It was red, as usual... "Aw, poo," Xardius said. "I hate red."
As stated by Sora in Hollow Bastion, he doesn't need the keyblade, he has a greater weapon: his heart. I believe what the voice is stating is that Sora has the greatest weapon of all: a strong heart. And further, it's not Xenmas who visits Sora in the secret place, but Ansem the Heartless. Riku gets taken over by the same person and turns into Ansem so...it must be Ansem!
OOC: I could probably help you out. I don't know any video systems, but I can take a look at what you're trying to modify and stuff...PM me a copy of your video and what you want done and I'll try and do it...I'm usually pretty good with that stuff. BIC: "Well, despite the strange wording, I thought you did as well as I did in your singing," Xardius said, shrugging. OOC: By the way, a lot of people aren't going to be online for most of the day (I'm one of them), so you can do whatever you want with Port Royal. Have fun with it! Just remember we're all here...
"Just a sec guys..." Xardius walked out of the gummi ship and up to Hercules. "Just so you know..." Xardius slammed his fist into Hercules' face. Hercules' eyes rolled up into his head and he fell over. Phil gasped. Xardius blew dust off his fist. "I can beat you anytime, anywhere..." Xardius strutted back onto the gummi ship. "See you Geryl, catch up when you can..." Hercules' eyes snapped open. "He had to do that." Phil gasped again. "You mean you weren't..." Hercules shook his head. "I've never felt such a wimpy punch before in my life..." OOC: Just another classic example of an overinflated ego known as Xardius...
