Axel nodded to the voice in his head. He smiled and resumed fighting. Renee ran with Marluxia and Raoxthu behind her toward the commotion. Raising her Keyblade toward the Neo-Jumpmen she slashed through a few before melding into the fray. Saphique nodded, chasing after Gexln with Omega lifted off his shoulder and crushed an Unversed before more swarmed around him. "Kill as many as you can. Xenree instructed us that after they're defeated, Vanitas should be availiable to us." Roxas panted heavily, leaning on his blades and fell to the floor, his limit break had taken all his energy out of him. Xion snorted, "That's your reason? NICE! I still think Roxas would be better in bed. He's got that cute little boy charm about him." A small part inside Xion's heart cringed at the thought of Roxas having a cuteness about him. Sure he was cute, but he was her best friend. The corruption silenced that part in a second. Adrien walked the corridors of light, following the fading path of darkness left by Saix when he traveled with Mage. His helmet reflected the light and his thoughts repeated Xenree's orders. Reclaim Nightmare, take the medallion and remove the darkness from his heart... What more could he want? X guarded Aqua like a precious gemstone and she viciously fought back against the Neo-Jumpmen. It was a good thing Terra wasn't close by while she fought. He'd have thought her mad. The Organization watched in brief awe as orbs of light bounced off of Aqua's Keyblade and struck the Jumpmen. "Damn, don't piss the bluebird off. She'll knock you good!" Xigbar joked.
Xenree sulked as she stepped out of her dark corridor further into the jungle. She hadn't gone far. The one boy she'd met wasn't even a Keyblade wielder. How was a prophicy supposed to come true if there wasn't a Keyblade wielder to fight. If Keyblades of Dark and Light were to lock in combat she was missing the Light part. Checking around in case of another attacking wild animal, she sat down and sighed. I wonder how long this will take for that boy to find his friends and blab. It's not like I gave him my name...but still... she fretted over her outburst of laughter earlier. She wasn't terrible at being secretive, but not the best.
Kisa let her eyes follow toward Zelos. Suppressing her childish crush, she hurried after him and started down the hall toward the exit doors leading outside. If Wyatt's right, and it did come from outside...something may be attacking the school or...or...I don't know! I can't sit by and let my friends be hurt like this. If it was a natural disaster, there wouldn't have been a roar like that. Anxiety was turning her skin purple, her nails lengthened and hardened to a point where she could cut rock and glass and not break one, all as a self-defense measure.
Shiv frowned at his answers, but she set down her glass and smiled. "We witches have stayed in solitude for longer than you might imagine. Humans...ah, not as magical beings I should say, are concerned about what witches can do. But we are not the only kind of creature that exists on this planet now. I do not know what reasons Vannessa had to bring you here other than that you two were in trouble. I care not for the violence outside the Lagoon, which may be why you've never heard of the Moon Inns." she paused, her fingers working at her food. She opened her mouth again and shut it with a scowl just before a knock came at her door. "I've no time for this..." she grumbled and stood to answer it. The sound of her voice was muffled by a secretive spell she used on all her private conversations, but the tone of it was furious. She returned moments later and sighed deeply, leaning against the wall. "Vannessa would you kindly entertain our guests. I must step out for a moment." she calmly met Risit's and Sam's eyes, "There are reasons I, myself as a witch not including others, have kept away from others in civilization along with their...hateful ways." Shiv dawned a shawl and casually set the photo of the blonde boy facing down on the table as she left. Sam, curious, waited until she'd left to snatch the photo from the table and stare at the surprisingly handsome young man. His blonde hair and blue eyes shone in the light and the long lance he held beside him only accented his striking appearance. "Who is this?" she asked, flicking her eyes to Vannessa.
Roxas growled, he felt his breaking point and let his limit break cover him in light. "You're done!" His Keyblades flashed with the power of light as he moved quickly to strike Greed, beams of light came off him and his Keyblades. Marluxia broke into Raoxthu and Renee's room. He quickly averted his eyes from the pair, "We need you two down the hall." Renee gave him a short snarl before kissing Raoxthu and pushing him away from her so she could slip on her dress, "Figures...you guys can't do anything correct. C'mon Raoxthu, it looks like we have to get our hands dirty again." Xion lazily glared at Alphonse. Her natural hostility overriding her lust. "Namine...what happened to Roxas? I thought you were supposed to be spending the night with him." Xenree stood before a pool of pure black darkness. Her words were slurred and jumbled as she spoke. Only a name could've been made out from the mess, "Adrien..." A boy, barely older than she was dragged himself out of the darkness, his armor was like that of Aqua and Terra and Ven's. "You obey me now. Your life has been returned to you from the Darkness to reclaim your Keyblade and my medallion. I don't trust Gexln and Saphique is too focused on protecting me to do my work. Get the medallion and you'll have your Keyblade back and I'll take the darkness away from your heart." His armored head nodded silently and he headed out of the castle. The Beast and Belle were chained by darkness in a corner.
Zane let out a breath slowly and rolled onto her, "Is it really? Seems to me to be just another day. Good or not, I don't feel like getting out of bed."
Akira glanced up to see a falling Jaden land on her. She collapsed under his weight. "Oof, g-get off me!" Her gunblade slipped from her hand and she couldn't cast a spell like this. She feebly pushed at the boy. Lightning felt all her age old anger bubble from inside her. Anger that wouldn't win this but it would fuel her actions. She turned a furious blue gaze to the light and the voice. "Why are you doing this?! I don't know and I don't intend to find out! Let him go!" For the life of her, she couldn't put together why Jenny was doing this or who she was. Light tired every spell she knew and every attack form she could on the wire. If anything she just needed to crack the surface. "Snow, hang in there!"
The Organization continued to fight. Xigbar's lazy nature joined with Demyx's reluctance to do work, "How long is this battle gonna last? I'm exhausted." Demyx nodded, fending off a Neo-Jumpman, "Awww, I'm gonna need a shower after this. I hate sweating..." Axel's hand came down on Ashir's shoulder in a brief flash of concern for the boy. "Take it slow, there's more than enough support here." his green eyes were more serious than his comrads had ever seen him. Saphique shrugged, "Lady Xenree has no doubt you're strong so...I have no reason to doubt your strength. I'm just saying...Xenree needs Vanitas alive and in good health. If he resists...we can't hurt him too badly." He grinned, a carefree smile. Saphique's one desire was to protect Xenree, no matter the cost. Be it his life or the life of others. He stopped as they came to the clearing, it was filled with sunshine and flowers, Xenree wouldn't like it here. he thought, "Well..." before he could finish his sentence, a hoard of Unversed appeared and headed toward them. "Here we go!" Renee bit her lip and held onto him tightly. Roxas rolled, trying to dodge all of the bursts. "Greed! Dammit, Kazooie, I'm gonna need a little help!" He caught Oathkeeper on it's return and feebly blocked a burt of corruption. What am I going to do? I can't be corrupted if I'm going to help. This isn't working at all. Xemnas made a sour face, but no one offered to go get them. Inturrupting wasn't on their list of to-do's. Marluxia sighed, "I'll go if it makes you happy, Superior." He split from the group and ran toward Renee and Raoxthu's room. Xion grinned when she noticed Namine. "Hey girl, where you been hidin'? All's well in corruption land." she laughed and threaded her fingers through Riku's hair. She liked how long it was.
Xenree turned her head slightly away from Glen to face the newcomers. She closed her mouth, ending her talking spree and pulled her hood lower so they couldn't see her eyes anymore. She stood there in silence, giving them her name was never wise and Glen's words were true. There was always someone better, but for now, she was the better. She slowly walked toward Glen. When she stopped she was beside him, her shoulder touching his as she faced the rock face and whispered to him, "Such meetings should be kept silent. Lest the darkness know of Keyblade wielders," she spit the words silently like poison, "Be running around." A dark corridor opened in the rock face and she disappeared.
Renee smiled, she liked that answer by far. She leaned up and kissed his neck. Roxas' eyes widened and he cartwheeled out of the way. He glared at this Shadow Star, "I don't think so punk! Over my dead body will you corrupt me!" he threw Oathkeeper at Shadow Star. Xemnas diverted his attention to L.O.G for a moment, "Excuse me? My little Renee is doing what with Raoxthu? That's....it must be because of the corruption. She would never sully her purity for that boy." Xion splashed water at them, "Shut it!" Almost everyone ignored Hestia as they fought. Luxord looked up, "What, they're drunk? Ah, curse the fates! I want to be drunk right now..." Xigbar agreed and Saix had to cover their backs, "Stop daydreaming and watch your own backs!" he snarled.
Ash grinned, he could feel Ivan's frustration at letting them come and by the sound of the cheers and his warning, he figured his careless words were pushing it but when Ivan agreed to let them come, he let his fake smile drop. Faking wasn't his style or something he liked making his face do. Edging closer to Ivan and the door, Ash pulled Kegan closer, as his Reaper he'd need her close by if they got into a fight.
Nicholi lazily looked up, "No...long distances bore them and they forget what they're looking for. They're called Retriever Shadows. I wouldn't be surprised if their leader isn't trying to try to take Ari apart....or sleep with her. Not that he'd know how." Zain turned a dark red with anger. "I'll take apart his face if he tries the latter." He stormed out and started down the road. "Is he going to be this way about everything concerning Ari now?" Zero sighed and followed him, "I'll make sure he stays alive."
Roxas grunted as he cut through a Neo-Jumpman, "Shut it, Kazooie!" Renee pulled Raoxthu to her and hitched a leg on his hip. "Dearest Raoxthu, how many times are we going to play this game?" Xemnas frowned as he noticed a few Neo-Jumpmen chasing them. "Isn't this a coincidence." Akii hid behind Xemnas and X whirled with Zexion to fight. "I believe when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Xion pulled the cigar out of Riku's mouth and puffed on it. Saix waved her off, Lunatic came crashing down on a few Neo-Jumpmen. "We're fighting! What's it look like." he snarled, already slipping into his beserker mode again.
Zain hurried with Zero and Callen to get back to the house and Nicholi. Nicholi had drawn up a map, his finger lazily traced the road the shadows traveled back to their 'hole'.
She nearly laughed out loud. Her shoulders shook with the strain of silent laughter. Her shaking caused her to drop to one knee and her laughter to escape through her pursed lips. "Hahaha, oh, and here I thought that was your best. Ahahaha, you impress me, for a non-Keyblade wielder, that is." she laughed hard until she could breath again and looked up at Glen and stood, "You're good, I'll give you that. But I'll always be better." Her light voice came from the darkness of her hood.
Saph smiled as he walked into the forest, the trees were creepy looking, "Not exactly. The Unversed should flee eventually and then we follow it back to where Vanitas is hiding out. I hope he remembers Xenree, cause I don't want to have an awkward conversation again with a dark being." Roxas figured it was logical. He fired off a few Firaga's at the Neo-Jumpmen in front of them. Renee giggled and lay back, admiring him. Xion leaned forward and licked water off Riku's neck. "Exactly what I was thinking." Saix kept a sharp eye out, defending Mage. Xemnas and company recovered from their laughter and they noticed Akii, Zexion and their new friend, X come bolting down the hall. "We've got a big problem. Where's everyone?" Marluxia shrugged.
Xenree blocked him with lightning speed, keeping hold of his arm, she kicked him in the gut and flung him into the rock face.
Saph sighed, "The clearing. Someplace where the Unversed would most likely flock." He started toward the entrance to the forest and the clearing beyond. Saix let Mage move to defend herself as he stood uneasily, "Where are they? I'm ready to kill something." Xemnas nodded, "There will be no rest for the good guys..." he waited a moment before the entire Organization XIII broke out laughing. "Good one, sir!" They high-fived and continued to laugh. Renee sighed, "We never get a night to ourselves anymore, do we? I suppose we should go help them." She didn't feel like moving underneath the warmth of Raoxthu. Xion shrugged, "That depends...how important would shaking be?" she winked at Riku. Roxas followed, "I'm not really comfortable fighting with some woman that we don't know..." he thought that line, although changed a little, sounded like something Xion would make him say.
Xenree's shoulders dropped and she released her Keyblades. If he won't pick up his blade, this suddenly becomes a hand to hand combat fight. She shrugged and gave him a 'bring it on' sign. Lifting her fists, Not the best way to decide if he's worthy of even my name, but it'll do. At least he doesn't give up.
Xenree smiled as she watched Saphique and Gexln walk through the portal. "Remember Saph, the Unversed. I couldn't care less about those petty Heartless or Nobodies." Saph nodded. Saphique walked glumly with Gexln toward the Dwarven Woodlands. Roxas wobbled as the ship shook. "What was that?" Xion sighed, "I want you to start smoking. You'll like it. Just like you like sex and booze." Renee pulled away from Raoxthu as the ship shook, "What was that? It's quite rude." Saix let her heal his head and nuzzled her. The shaking of the ship forced him to realize what he'd been doing and stood. "We're under attack." Xemnas nodded, he was already on edge.
