"I am the only one to tell you this because you yourself have said it. But, you are correct, I am Nobody to tell you who you are. For Nobodies cannot hope to be Somebodies..." Last Judgment hung in Xenree's hand as she thought, Fitting that this Keyblade would want to fight, whereas...Dark Void is not to be seen. I suppose I should've anticipated as much. Fight with the light, you can only be burned. Dark lightning surrounded Xero's other Keyblade and floated far beyond her reach above the square. Xenree lifted Last Judgment up over her shoulder, the blade pointing at Xero, "Well, lets see how much willpower you have left."
Beast roared and knocked the Heartless machine back a few meters, "She's safe inside the castle. Where she belongs." Xenree landed beside Xoram, panting a little, "See? Now stop worrying about some Princess and fight or die!" she said dashing back into the fray.
Cool. I've never been able to edit pictures successfully ever. So i consider that a real skill.
Merlin touched his shoulder lightly, his wand glowing and sparkling with magic, "You are going somewhere. I must stay here. You must go through the trials inside Ansem's computer and gain the rightful power of the Keyblade for yourself!" He was acting emotional. Tears streaming down his face for a moment before regaining his composure, "Now then. I shall speed you along. Just...follow your gut instinct, yes." The magic sparkled around Kast before a loud 'POOF' and dropped Kast onto the floor before Ansem's secret computer. Corrine closed his eyes in approval, "It is true. Xenree has no love for you or the others. She disposes of those who lose their usefulness with ease and without regret or guilt. You are correct Alphonse. As for you, Ratatosk....keeping Emil locked away will not keep Xenree beside you forever. She will learn of your light and she will loath you for it." Ratatosk growled, tugging at his chains, "When I am free and the Centurions are free, I will have my powers back and I swear, she will never leave my side. Emil had Martel, that willful Goddess and now I have Xenree...my demoness." Xenree let T.K's words fall on deaf ears as she focused on the suit, "There, is everything to your satisfaction?" She felt the disturbance in the darkness and felt Gexln's emminent return along with...Namine and someone else she didn't recognize. So, he brings Namine straight to me with little regard for her safety. Such is the fate of a Nobody. Roxas stood still inside the P.R.W. He felt as if someone has sucked all the life out of him. Namine wanted to see Alphonse? He felt sick. But he followed them anyway. He'd talk with Xenree too, as she seemed to have all the answers. Renee laughed, "Then lets hurry." Inside the dark hole, everything suddenly filled with water. Ooccoo scrambled out of a door and tapped against Rosalina's foot, "Hello travelers. Oh my, such deep water. I hope you all can hold your breath for quite a long time. I have nothing for you young heros but some advice...when the fish stops swimming....grab ahold and don't let go. If you get a chance, stab it in the eye. Oh, and don't let the tentacles grab you...they're quite nasty." Outside the ship, Aqua, Terra, Larxene and X were floating down on the bottom of the large lake. Each had a golden mask on their face that allowed them to breath under the water. Repliku grinned and relaxed, rolling his shoulders, holding Souleater loosely, "Oh but that I can't do. You see, Akira is mine and she's all I have left of the brave Xenree I knew. I shall make you pay for taking my daughter!" He lifted Souleater and the corridor of light warped and changed. Instead of the light Mage and Repliku were standing on a cliff with pillars surrounding the edges, evenly spaced out for something very large to land there. A strong wind blew across the cliff, making grass bend to the sway and bare patches of it everywhere. Saix nodded furiously and Xemnas touched his neck, putting him to sleep. "I'm sorry, but Saix cannot go anywhere. He has not rested in days. He needs his sleep. I shall go find Mage. She can't have gone far."
Xenree glowered at Matt, whispering to Orias, "He looks rather suspicious. We can't be too careful. From now on, everyone we meet is a potential enemy. Got it? Let me do some of the talking." She pulled away and circled Matt, inspecting him, though if he did have a Keyblade, she wouldn't be able to see it. "Where did you come from? Do you have a weapon on you? Why should we trust you?" She snatched the map from him and looked it over. It was pretty basic, like most maps. Her silver eyes flashed as she looked up to Matt.
Well after a day of almost dying. I feel kinda better. how about you?
"There really is nothing here, huh? That is what makes it nice, but there nothing much we can show people from outside. Oh! There's something from Mt. Yasogami... I think our dyed clothes or pottery or something is kinda famous. Oh wait, there's the Amagi inn! Yukkio's family runs it. It's the pride of Inaba!"
Xenree watched him and Vanitas growled, "I never said that. I'd rather you be dead but...I find you amusing. I suppose leaving you alive for a while wouldn't be the end of my world." Saph, exhausted and relief making him weak, dropped to his knees. Renee nuzzled his ear, "What're we gonna do?" she asked playfully. Corrine stopped snarling and tilted his head in surprise, "No?" A door of darkness opened and Repliku stepped into Mage's corridor of light, "You expected me to leave my daughter alone with you freaks?" A harsh, smile twisted his face. Merlin sighed in irritation, "Yes yes, I suppose I shouldn't have forgotten you, should I? Kast, are you ready to begin your journey?"
Demitri sighed, "Hey, you want me to talk to Kaleb? Maybe I could help him out in some way." He watched his brother give him a incredulous look and he shrugged, "I'm going out. You got to have a walk, I'm going for a walk." Ryku watched his brother leave the house. He knew exactly where he was going and it was no walk. "The bar again, Demitri? Honestly, if your lungs don't give out, your liver will."
Xenree smiled under her hood and flipped Xero's Keyblades in her hands. She whispered for Xero's ears only, "Come and get them..." she tossed one down to the ground at Xero's feet, "You'll get the other back when you prove to me you can fight better and have purpose."
Xenree watched him in curiosity, listening to Gexln's words before he departed. "This is...unexpected of you." Renee laughed, clinging to him. Nightmare fell silent, probing the corridor until she felt something, Mage look out! A burst of dark energy carriened over Mage's head, colliding with the wall of the corridor. Saix looked up and around, "She was here a minute ago. Mage!?" he hastily stood and opened a dark corridor. Akii closed it for him, "You can't find her that way. She didn't want you to come with her so you wouldn't get hurt. There's a reason Mage didn't tell you for a reason." Corrine bared his teeth at Ratatosk, "If you doubt my logic, then why is he now talking again?" he said smugly, "What is the answer, Alphonse."
Xenree growled, "Where do you think you're going? True Kenneth.." she purred his name. Renee followed him, a bright smile on her face. Xemnas frowned at Nympha as she picked up Akii and nuzzled her. She promptly stood at attention beside Zexion after her unique greetings. "She's designed for combat at least. We aren't really sure how the program changed her to be like this, but it's useful, right?" Xemnas nodded slowly, "She is indeed useful. Change the rest of the Fakes." The corridor was oddly void of all Fakes, Nobodies, Unversed and Heartless. I have a bad feeling about this... Nightmare cautiously whispered.
Xenree sighed, "And...? Finder's keepers...." she leaned forward with a sinister smile on her lips before lowly adding, "Loser's weepers..." Sitting up again, she looked to Saphique, "Isn't that right, Saphique!" Saph jerked and bowed his head, "Yes, my Queen." Renee stood with him, "Where are we going?" Nympha donned her new gown and turned to face Zexion and Vexen. They stopped fighting and nervously led her upstairs, to Xemnas and the others. Standing before them, they exchanged nervous looks, "Zexion and I have altered the Fake we captured to a more...different and obedient stage. She...uh, is called Nympha now and her looks are not her only good feature." Nympha curtsied as she smiled at them and Xemnas' jaw dropped, "She's.... Ahem, Vexen, Zexion, you did admirably, but she is only one of the Fakes. How are you to change the others?" They hesitated and Nympha moved to meet them all. Lightly tracing Saix's scar, adjusting fabric of Alice's outfit, lightly brushing her fingers over Xemnas' face, petting Parma and pressing a light kiss to Ashir's cheek.
Xenree whistled again for Xero. Come...reclaim what's yours... She twirled Xero's Keyblades in her hands. Though they sparked and nipped at her, she could only smile. A spider's web covered them, keeping them from disappearing and returning to Xero. "Xero...."
Xenree listened for a minute before slamming her fist down on the arm of her chair, even ceasing Vanitas' laughter, "ENOUGH!" Her darkness turned to spikes and stopped only inches away from Grunty's head and the Blot's heart. The spikes looked like extentions from Xenree herself. "Speak clearly or I'll kill you both." Renee pressed against Raoxthu in a hug before Saix growled and purposfully setting them apart, "You go too far Princess. Akira and Mage are too young to watch this sort of behavior from the both of you." he glared at them. Xemnas took his hand back and smiled sadly at her, "Alright then." While Zexion and Vexen continued to argue, Nympha's blade slid back into her skin and she picked Hestia up, her blue eyes curiously probing the doll. "I am happy to serve, my Lady." her voice like honey though rarely used. She set Hestia on her shoulder and tied the towel closed around her body before stripping the blue cloth from a table in the lab and a white cloth and in a flurry of flying cloth and a pair of scissors she'd grabbed, she fashioned herself a maid's dress, complete with stockings and a hat.
I would not know. First we should retrieve his body from her castle. Then we'll work on a way of freeing his spirit/mind from his chains and perhaps when we have both those, we'll have a way to retrieve his heart. Xemnas reached a hand over to Mage, his palm up, "Is there something bothering you, Mage?" Vexen recovered first and drained the tube before opening it. He wrapped a towel around the woman's shoulders, covering her up as she looked up at him and smiled. Vexen blushed and stood straight again, "Well this is...different. I didn't imagine the program to have this kind of effect. Zexion...wh-what do we do with such a lovely Fake. Surely she cannot fight." As soon as his words left his lips, Nympha stood, keeping the towel closed with one hand and sprouting a thin blade in her other hand. Zexion touched Vexen's shoulder, "I think that answers our question. Hestia called her Nympha so that must be her new name. Her beauty lures them into a false security and these blades she has...wherever it came from. She is truely deadly as a rose. Uh...we don't have to tell Xemnas do we?" Vexen glared at him. Xenree touched her forehead, keeping a part of her mind on Gexln's movements in case he decided to interrupt her discussion. "Another...let me see...that's Ignis, Lumen, Solum, and now Tonitrus...only three left..." She opened her eyes to see Grunty's head and the Blot in her body, glancing between the two, "What is the meaning of this?" she asked, slightly amused. Renee smiled, stroking his hair.
Xenree turned to see Ren and sighed, brushing her fingers through her hair as she pushed it back over her shoulder, Regretably...but not altogether horrible... Casting off such people will be easy, as for leaving Orias and Trixis....much harder. she thought.
ooc: there is for scientists! :lolface: bic: Renee frowned at Saix and brushed hair back from Raoxthu's face, "There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just stating that you have a lot of them." she giggled and winked at him. Vexen and Zexion ceased their odd fight and growled at eachother, before hearing a light tap on the tube. They both looked toward the Fake and froze. In it's place a deeply tanned woman stood, her long silver hair floated freely around her and her glittering blue eyes watched them with concern. Zexion and Vexen were useless, as their mouths hung open. She tapped a tanned knuckle on the glass again as if she were rapping on a door and placed her delicate fingers spread on the glass. ooc: http://a6.idata.over-blog.com/324x500/2/12/00/31/Graphique/Hannah-anafeloz.jpg bic: Nightmare sighed, thinking it over, Perhaps he would be able to find a way inside Xenree's castle to free Adrien...? she suggested. Both Ratatosk and Corrine flinched slightly from the darkness and light. "I think you may have pushed him too far, Verius." "Doubtful..." Xenree turned her silver eyes, still filled with anger toward the Blot, "Yes?"
haha, you know the saying. "protect thyself before protecting another." Or...I think I just made that up...ah well, it stands on it's own.
Xenree grew tired of trying to force the Keyblades themselves to resonate with her dark aura. "Instead, we must make the Keyblade Wielder resonate." she smiled as she stood up and whistled loud enough for Xero to hear. She hoped the little Nobody would follow suit and come to her.
