Lynne glanced up and smiled at the others, "Ren, I'm glad you're safe." She dismissed all other thoughts about Ryku or Demitri from her mind and focused on her friends returning.
ooc: Exactly, well I'm a Zelda expert. And my dear E, you will be seeing all the bosses...except Ganon. My favorite was the water dungeon boss. Who doesn't love swimming around and stabbing a giant eel in the eyeball. (I wonder why a majority of the bosses weak points revolved around an eyeball...) bic: Saix listened closely, nodding along, "The creator? And who might that be?" Alice subconciously clutched the now silent Sunburst and her physcial form was fading away as she ran out of solar energy to run on. Roxas shook his head, "Just knock it down here! I've got a plan!" he shouted as he noticed a large statue holding an equally large hammer. The phrase, "smash the spider" came to mind as he drew out his Keyblades. The beam of light hit Armoghoma's leg and forced it to skitter into an open pannel of light in the ceiling. It shrieked as it dropped to the ground in front of a large hammer wielding statue and all the pannels of light closed.
Xenree, still having a stand off with the Beast in front of his castle, laughed shortly and flung herself through the double doors. She flipped herself into a cartwheel with one hand on the velvet rug and carrieened into the main floyer. Darkness spread at her every step within the castle and the Beast was on her heels. His claws gouged holes into the floor behind her delicate feet as she stopped at the top of the stairwell. "How does this story end, i wonder. Perhaps you win and I die. Perhaps I win and you die and this castle becomes mine and darkness rules over your world. Such an outcome wouldn't be favorable to you. I see no heartless have invaded your home just yet." Frowning, she flipped back her hood and scolwed with the full force of her silver eyes and a shudder went through her. "I hate the light..." The Beasts heart was light from his love of Belle and she despised it. Dark Void glowed darkly in her hand.
Xenree still didn't like her. Very little darkness...so..just like Orias then. I'd best steer clear of her for a while. At least until I know how to use darkness to my own advantage. She folded her arms, letting Dark Void dissolve into darkness and turned her head away. Her black hair whipping her cheek. Reluctantly she told her her name, "Xenree... Descendent of Riku."
Soon Xenree's food ran out and she grew irritated. Without her heart, she couldn't truely feel the anger inside her but the annoyance was enough. She didn't like to be ignored. Picking out the only ones who weren't fighting already, she felt Last Judgment and Dark Void materialize in her hands and warped in front of Xero. Under her hood she almost felt like smiling....almost. Bringing her Keyblades up and slashing down on Xero in a cross-slash, she half expected the Keyblade Wielder to faulter. But tests were designed to be react-or-die.
Nicholi felt the urge to snarl an supperessed it. "They're the Doctor's notes and I thought since he recreated Zero and I so well, he'd have something on how he did it...but it's not here. Recreating our mother is the only reason I'm still alive. I'd rather die if I can't do this." it sounded depressing but in Nicholi's mind, it was right and the perfect reason to live.
Saphique nodded, scrambling after Gexln. He had been moved by Vanitas' story and wished he could know more about the mysterious boy in the mask. Roxas nodded too. Watching the giant spider run around the ceiling of the new room created by darkness and slots of the shuttered windows in the ceiling open, letting down a beam of light. "That's it! C'mon, we have to get down there!" He headed for the exit. Saix carried Hestia and pulled the two girls along with him as he headed toward the Cove. "If this castle is so powerful, why hasn't Xenree found it yet?" ooc: Armaghoma is actually the boss from the Temple of Time...with the statues and the little spiders that are so damn annoying to kill... and the Ooccoo who wants the treasure there, the Dominion Rod. lol I rule at that game. Twilight Princess RULEZ!
Xenree lay there slumped in her chair, her mind and power furiously trying to keep the Guardian under control. Vanitas un-materialized his helmet and met Gexln's eyes, "I owe her big time. She saved my life, or rather brought it back into existence and protected my identity way back when I fought Aqua for the first couple of times. She made sure I had my chance with Ventus and now...I work for her out of payment for my life and respect that she could give me that chance."
Xenree smiled, hidden by darkness watching Xero rebel against Mixt. She pulled Twizzler after Twizzler out of her pocket and munched on them, watching like everything was a movie.
Shaking her head, she felt the Heartless' uncontrolled power wash over her, threatening to sweep her power off her feet and break free. She couldn't answer Al at the moment. The eyeball blinked once, twice before light lit in a large area in the hole. Revealing a large room that they seemed to have gotten inside. The room had fire surrounding a raised platform and shut windows in the ceiling. The light in the room also revealed that their Heartless looked like a giant spider. Roxas flinched, "Gross! A spider Heartless?!" Xenree's distorted voice rang through the room, "Welcome to your deaths. Meet the Guardian of the Centurion Lumen. Armogohma!" The giant spider scurried up the wall to the ceiling. ooc: Armogohma: bic: Saix laughed, he felt the moon's power alright but accepting it was a different mater that he didn't want to address now.
Xenree thought carefully, "Namine to like you....hmm." She closed her eyes and slumped down in her throne chair. Changing someone's heart was like corruption, it was all she could do. Her fingers twitched as she took control of the darkness around the ship where Namine was, waiting for the moment to strike at the blonde haired girl. "The Centurion Heartless Guardians should be able to penetrate the gummi ship and nab your precious Namine so I can work." Saix shrugged, almost unbalencing Hestia, "She's an odd ghost. You'd think she'd be a little less....vibrant, being dead and all."
Claire shoved Devln toward Yuna's group. They'd gotten ahead of them. "Go, do your job." Devln sighed, hefting his sword over his shoulder. "If anyone's taking that sphere, I think we should get to have a look at it first. After all, it's not like i suspect it'll be of any use to me." he tired to sound nonchalant and Claire groaned from behind him.
what do you want to talk about?
Xenree's attention diverted back to Al, "Then tell me what I can do to make you stable again. I will make it better." Saix pulled Mage and Alice along, heading toward the Cove. Roxas gripped the back of the seat as everything went dark. Inside the darkness, steam fogged the outside of the gummi ship's windshield. "What the...?" Roxas would've finished his sentence if it hadn't been answered by the opening of one very large eye in front of them.
Xenree mumbled to herself, letting darkness carry her message to First, "The matter of the holes does not need to be protected. Not all of them. Inside each hole lies a very special Heartless for each group. This creature born of darkness from the worlds is immensly powerful and quite large. I had no other place to put it, so leaving it where it was seemed ideal. Each Heartless holds a Centurion Core. Find the ship with X on it and dispose of it. Him gaining the Centurions isn't in my favor. There are either Seven or Eight of them, though my memory has been patchy on this." Alice thought for a minute, "I haven't been alive that long. I've only learned about the Dark Kingdom Hearts. However Light is made, I'm not sure. Perhaps in much the same way?" she thought to herself.
Lynne nodded. She was grateful for her friends' support, even though the matter of if she actuall took Ryku up on the offer was different. Her heart raced at the opportunity to meet him in person, but sunk at the thought of how everyone would frown on her and whether or not if Ryku wanted to kill her. His brother certainly did.
Vincent sighed and relaxed slightly, "Perhaps I could come with you all. I seem to have conjured a serious headache and I believe if I get caught by those air currents again I'll be in trouble with less than human creatures. Maybe I could help finding your charge." His wings were a dead giveaway that he wasn't human so everyone who saw him would know he wasn't exactly a "people person". Vincent gave his best, 'I'm a nice guy' smile and hoped for all he was worth that they'd believe him.
Xenree felt a brief irritation wash over her. "Hold on a sec Orias. Where did she come from? How do we know we can trust her?" Dark Void pulsed with a subtle darkness within her as she held it up, pointing at Marushi.
