OOC: We're kind of split up, some of us are in the mansion but me and Vexneah I believe are at the hole in the wall... BIC: A light breeze tugged slightly at Xardius' hair. Xardius' eyes narrowed. Everything seemed to be condensing, closing in... "Xardius?" Xardius shook himself, and looked at Vexneah. "Some thing's not right," Xardius said quietly. He tensed suddenly.
Xardius turned. "I thought Vecked was dead." He walked towards the hole in the wall, but just as he reached it, he felt the strange sensation of being watched again...He turned and looked around. Nothing was in sight, but Xardius couldn't shake the feeling. He stood there, waiting as the others passed by.
Xardius tapped his chin. "Stick with us, we'll take you to him. What's your name by the way..." He started walking off towards the mansion.
"Let's go check it out," Xardius said. "I have a feeling that there's more to it than the eye can see...especially with all the things found there." "Darxess?" Xardius said, turning to face the new person. "He's the leader of the Ultimate Organization, of which we're all members...Why?"
"Wait a sec," Xardius said, folding his arms. "Let's not be hasty. I say we check out that mansion...Wing, you've been there before, right?"
OOC: OK, I'm back! BIC: Xardius watched everything silently, sighing. Just like all of the other worlds, completely boring... He felt a prickle on the back of his neck. Going up to Wing as Geryl ran off, he nudged him, "I wonder how Cloud's doing...We did kind of leave him hanging in the middle of nowhere, still looking for Sephiroth and stuff."
OOC: Hey, do whatever you guys want, just don't leave until I get back, alright? There's some stuff I want to do here...I'll be back in probably half an hour starting now at this post...
Xardius frowned. "The place where you turned into a Nobody...You'll have to tell us about it later." Xardius turned and faced the mansion. "Such a strange place..." OOC: I'll be back in about half an hour to 45 minutes gotta mow my lawn. Just have me tagging along with Nulix...
"A map piece?" Nulix questioned, curious. Xardius walked over to Vexneah. "What'd you figure out that you're so excited about?"
"I am Xardius, 33rd member of the Ultimate Organization," Xardius said, unfolding his arms. "And why are you here? And why the heck are you trying to hide? And..." "Stop grilling him, Xardius," Nulix said, walking up. "Just start with why you're here..." Xardius rolled his eyes and turned to Vexneah. "What do you mean?"
"Who are you?" Xardius asked, folding his arms at the strange person who was desperately trying to hide.
OOC: See you, Nulix. Xardius raised his eyebrows, and followed at a slower pace. He gestured to Bellatrix as she walked through the hole. "After you!" he stated, smiling. Nulix followed after. After they were gone, Xardius turned around and stared back at the town. Unease settled on him. He felt like he was being watched...Shrugging, he turned back and walked through the hole. *** Shadows draped across the figure like a heavy cloak, but underneath could be seen the faintest tracings of rugged armor, chipped and pitted. "So," the figure said in a baritone voice, "this is where you ended up...Darius."
"I haven't been here in a long time," Xardius said. "Maybe we should check out that big hole in the wall." He pointed and the group noticed that through a hole in the wall, trees and grass could be seen. "Could be interesting, at least," he said, shrugging.
OOC: All right, so what are we going to do besides look for the map piece?
Suddenly they were through, and Twilight Town was speeding towards them. Xardius eased back on the accelerator, and started to land near the outskirts of town, pressing the cloaking device as he did. He hopped up, clapped Geryl on the shoulder saying "Thanks!" with a grin, and walked to the door. "Who's coming?" he shouted.
"You weren't wearing a seatbelt?" Xardius growled at Vexneah as he plummeted into the bowls of the mother dreadnought. He hardly blinked as electricity surged around him, and ships flew at him from all sides. "Hey, Nulix, would you mind blowing something up?" Xardius asked. "Can't," Nulix said worriedly. "Gun's overheated." "Whatever then," Xardius said, and he hit the overdrive button. The gummi ship blew forward at double the normal speeds. Objects blurred into spaces, but Xardius just began whistling. "Nothing like a little adrenaline to relieve tension," he laughed. OOC: Kyzar and Noxas are in Twilight Town right?
OOC: What seems to have been happening is that we stop at one of the worlds, one person posts everything that happens there (unless there's a battle), and we leave, period. I thought the point of going to all the worlds was really exploration, but then again, the first world we went to I got out of there in like 6 posts or so (I don't like being animals, sorry). Anyhow, if we're going to go to another world after Twilight Town (which might be fun if it were a world we all enjoyed...), we should stick around and explore it, not just directly go for the map piece or whatever. Sorry about the length. Xardius flipped the gummi ship upside down, skimming the bottom of a dreadnought, watching with satisfaction as lasers began pounding into the bottom of it. "Good work! Keep it up!" Looking up, or down as the case happened to be, he saw another dreadnought maneuvering its cannons on them. "This is gonna be tight," he muttered, then grinned. Finally, some action! The cannons opened fire, and Xardius hit the brakes, dropping it dead. Hitting a switch, the gummi ship plummeted, straight down. Xardius pulled the nose up and stabilized inches from the dreadnought's skin. "Sorry," Xardius muttered, breathing his own sigh of relief. That had been a little too close. That's when he saw a massive white ship that seemed to swallow the view port. "Holy..." Xardius started, but didn't finish because laser blasts hit the ship, spinning it careening nearly into another dreadnought. "That's it!" Xardius said. "We're going in...Nulix! Blow a hole in that sucker!" Xardius hit the gas and the gummi ship rocketed forward towards the mother ship.
OOC: How many map pieces are there again? BIC: Xardius was getting tired of the stop, get off, get on, go and stop again on the gummi ship. It was ruining his routine in life, and it was starting to show. Xardius was achy, grumpy, and slept a heck of a lot more than he'd like to. Now, as the drag of hyperspace took over Xardius again, Xardius flopped down into a seat and put his head on one of his fists. I've never been this bored in my entire life... Xardius thought. Suddenly, a warning light began flashing across the board. The gummi ship was jolted out of hyperspace abruptly. He heard shouts from up front, and so sighing, he wandered up there, rubbing his eyes. "What now...?" Xardius growled, walking into the cockpit. Everyone was staring out the window, their mouths hanging open. He followed their gaze to a massive armada of giant white ships that currently were shooting about two billion lasers at them, as well as about two thousand smaller ships, still easily twice the gummi ship's size, zooming in and firing their slightly smaller laser at them. "What did you do?" Xardius growled, picking Geryl up and replacing him in the pilot's chair. "Blast it all, you had to put us down in the middle of a stinkin' dreadnought fleet!" Xardius flipped the gummi ship down and over, sending them careening nearly out of control head over heels down towards the eternal black. Xardius hit a switch and then zipped upwards. "Somebody man the weapons!" Xardius called.
OOC: OK, we're all going to Disney Castle right? BIC: Xardius sat up suddenly, looking around. "Something smells," he muttered.
Xardius groaned and got up. "Not you again." The Shadow Stalker leaped at him, chirping. "Get out of my way," Xardius said, unyielding. The Shadow Stalker landed, and blew up from Xardius' charged up energy bolt that he sent. It fell over. "I hate Heartless," he said, leaping back up to Geryl. OOC: I wasn't "extracting" the darkness by the way, just tempering it. Dark Geryl can't come out now unless you want him to (no more losing control). BIC: Seeing Geryl asleep still, Xardius looked up and saw Wing pawning Vecked. "Good," Xardius said, slumping next to Geryl, "I'm taking a nap." OOC: I really have to go now, so see ya.
