Nympha smiled and patted Hestia's head, "My apologies, I'll try....to do better, next time." Nympha watched as Ashir was dragged up with Argorok, "Ashir..." she struggled to get up to help. Xemnas gently touched Mage's shoulder, "I'm not worried. I know we will. In fact, here....something to keep your spirit up." He handed her a little picture of what looked like just a black gloved hand blocking the camera. He angled it and Xenree's normal half smiling face came into view. "She hated pictures but I managed to snatch this one before she left the Castle and found you all."
Xemnas drifted in and out of himself watching Argorok struggle even with Ashir's blade in it's neck. "I never thought Xenree's powers would've grown so much like this. She's like a child run away from home." Blood trickled out of Nympha's mouth slowly, "Have I done something wrong, my Lady?" Argorok pulled up, flying quickly back into the sky.
Xenree smiled, releasing Lucretia and the pain faded from Gexln, "No. If I did that, there would be no fun in this game." Lucretia slumped, her eye burning in pain. "Oooh..." "Why do you wish so badly for answers that do not concern you anymore?" Xemnas breathed easier as he stood again, "I see. You'd best let your light refuel you before you go. Xenree's castle has no light and I doubt she'd let you leave with the Keyblade Weilder's body so easily." Nympha clutched Argorok as she stabbed it's eye again. Argorok kamakazied itself down to the ground, knocking Nympha loose and crushing her beneath it. It started to get up, struggling as it's energy was depleted.
Xenree watched him, observing him carefully, "Why would I tell you that. It's MY little secret. Now...Nagomi!" A light came from Xenree's hand and it closed around Lucretia and tightened, causing her to cast her own spell, "Ahh, Pain!" Her red eye flashed, whiplashing Gexln with an unseeable power. Nympha jumped from flying plant to plant before springing at Argorok, latching onto him. Xemnas pushed himself up, "Mage....save your magic. You didn't come all the way out here for this, did you. You're here for a different reason. Tell me...that reason isn't to fight Xenree is it?"
Xenree huffed and turned away, "Don't patronize me. Nagomi is nothing but a traitor. I have no ties to her." Lucretia pulled at her bindings, ""Does everything need a reason!? What happened to the days when people did things based on a feeling in their heart?" Xenree crossed her arms stubbornly, "You're wasting your breath. Gexln has no heart. He's a Nobody. I made sure of it." Lucretia sagged against the stone cross, "I see...." Xenree glared at Gexln, "Why are you here?" Argorok roared as his armor broke and shattered and he flew up high above the pillars. Xemnas dropped to his knees, his energy exhausted. Nympha moved forward to see if he was alright only to see flames engulf him from Argorok's mouth. Nympha set Hestia down on the ground, keeping here there with a small Gravaga and jumped, running up the pillars and grabbing hold of a flying plant that hovered above.
Zero laughed, "You just got served Toji!" Callen smacked him and Zero kept his smile, "Hey, I'm just stating the truth." He brushed a hand through his hair and stood, stretching, "I'll go look for him if that's what you want, Yuki."
Lucretia and Xenree jerked toward Gexln when he spoke, "YOU!" Lucretia's red eye glowed as she focused on Gexln, "Free me!" Xenree laughed, "Raise the dead? Hah, you flatter me! Lucretia Nagomi dwells within the darkness around me as she is my light and I am her darkness." Renee jumped, "Wh-what? What could you do?" Morpheel swerved to avoid the Beam and landed Aqua over top of it. Dropping down, she grabbed ahold of it's scales and clung to it as it bucked under her. "Whoa! H-hey, calm down!" She grabbed her Keyblade and waited for a period of slow before stabbing her blade into the eye on it's back. Morpheel bucked even harder after three hits and threw her off. Aqua spun backwards until X caught her, "Are you alright?" She nodded and watched Larxene casting Thundaga after it. Nympha closed her fist and stabbed the blade into the eye, causing Argorok to squirm, tossing Nympha to the ground with Argorok falling behind her. It looked like Argorok would fall on top of her. Her blue eyes closed, her arms wrapping around Hestia protectively. Xemnas stood over her, his shield straining as it kept the weight of the dragon off her. "Ng, Hestia, Nympha, get out of here, now!" Nympha rolled, watching Xemnas struggle under Argorok's weight. "Xemnas!" Roxas could feel the darkness touching him as he entered Xenree's castle. He watched Lucretia and Xenree and let his eyes wander to Namine running to Alphonse. So...it was true...she'd rather have him than me. I see how it is now...
