Nicholi was stubborn and persisted, "No...I don't need help! I will not see Ari with a foolish, emotional heart and ruin herself the way our mother did! I won't stand by and help give Ari something the Doctor worked so hard to eliminate from us." Anger, an odd emotion he felt, surged and he slammed the door on his way out. Zero jumped up, startled out of his sleep, "Nick?! What...?" "Yuki...I think you offended him. I'll, uh, go talk to him." Zain trailed after Nicholi.
Xenree screamed as Dias blinded her and groped for Saphique's hand. Taking his control over light inside her, she blocked Mage's escape. Her cries were louder as the light burnt her veins and arms from the inside out. Panting she dropped Saph's hand and fell to her knees. Saphique casted opposite elemental spells to the corresponding orbiters, destroying them. "You can't hurt her. Not as long as I'm alive."
"No. I'd rather see trial and error time after time from him and let shadows die because of it than aid in the creation of something that would limit me and Ari's capabilities."
Nicholi scoffed, "And if I don't want to be human?" his voice was challenging Yuki and Ari quietly objected from her place in Zain's arms, "Ari wants to be human..." Zain nuzzled her affectionately, "You do? That's great! C'mon, Nicholi, can't you help Toji out? He's your friend isn't he?" Nicholi glared at them. "A shadow weapon has no friends."
Remember and decide? The first word to pop into her mind was a name. Was it hers, only one way to know. "Tanya..." It felt like hers, "Down...I deserve to go down." She didn't know what she meant but if it felt right, it probably was. Tanya glanced down at her black furred paws. "Limbo...?"
ooc: Hey, welcome back dabeat! :) bic: Xenree flashed a frantic look at Mage and advanced a step toward her. Saix snarled, warning her away. "I will have my medallion back. Even if I have to strip you of your clothes and flesh to find it!" Saphique flashed a quick smile at Alphonse and took a spot beside Xenree, "Xenree, what are we looking f-- A medallion? Is that it?" At his words, Xenree turned rapidly and slapped him before turning back to Mage.
Lynne jumped, "Excuse me? I'm not falling for that jerk? He tried to kill me! Anyway, you say that almost like you're jealous of him? What, you want me to like you? Pfft." She waved him off, the feeling of being watched tingled down her spine but she ignored it for now.
Her eyes opened, the red irises focusing on the little girl. "A what?" her voice came awkwardly from her narrow mouth. This kid called me a wolf? She wobbled as she stood on all fours. "What is this place? Who am I?"
Lynne glanced around and at the retreating form of Black Chaos, "We did fine. Everything's fine." She cradled her arms against her chest and reluctantly and secretly admired Black Chaos' back. He was almost as handsome as his brother.
Xenree slashed through the orbiter and lifted a hand to stop the Thundaga. Noticing Al was getting to close to her, she shoved him back behind her, "Stay out of my way, Alphonse! Where is Saphique!? Saphique!!" her silver eyes were glowing bright enough to illuminate darkness. "MAGE! The medallion! Give me the medallion!" Saphique heard Xenree's cry and bolted down the corridor, missing what Hestia said. Xemnas followed, "Demyx, take Luxord and Axel and find Parma for Hestia. Vexen go back and keep Ashir company." The two disappeared with the rest of the Organization behind him.
Kisa looked up when Zelos came to her. Her mind blanked for a moment when he pulled her into his arms. Her fingers fisted in his shirt and she buried her face in his shoulder, "It isn't the disease I'm worried about," Liar "It's the doctors. I bought her more time to get better, but without dad around...I don't have enough authority to force them to leave it alone." A small smile cracked on her face when her mind caught up with what he'd said, "Hmph, I wouldn't say she's a complete hag, but leaving me with her role as head of a royal family was pretty haggish." Biting her lip, Kisa brushed back her hair and shoved the watch back into her pocket, "Right. I'll be alright. I may not be able to hurt Frost, but I should know better than to let what the idiot says bother me."
Xenree was tempted to growl at Mage when two unknown men appeared an fired off white electricity at her. She raised a wall of darkness, when it pierced through her darkness and struck her inner sheild, Xenree snarled. Dark Void glowed in her hand and she retalliated with her own Dark Lightning aimed at the men. Saphique sliced through the dark tendrils, "No, I...I have to!" The wild look in his eyes stopped Demyx from moving, "Hestia...why don't we let him go. I don't think he means Mage harm, simply just so he doesn't feel abandoned. We all know what that feels like." Xemnas smiled and cautiously set a hand on Saph's shoulder, "We will go with you to see Mage. What is it you need her for?" Saph nearly fell over, trying to walk with Xemnas' hand on his shoulder, "Um...I don't know. Xenree never said anything about what to find. She just said find Mage." Renee trailed a finger over his bottom lip and smiled contentedly, "Nothing else. You're wonderful, my dear."
Demitri stifled a laugh of skepticism. He wasn't about to tell this kid that his cough wasn't a cold. "Yeah...I'll get on that. See ya around, boy. Hopefully I'm the one who gets to kill you." Demitri turned on his heel and gave a two fingered wave behind him. Lynne landed down in the plaza next to Kurisu, "You were talking to Black Chaos. Are you insane? Kurisu, he could've killed you." Her concern didn't amount to the concern she should've felt for herself. Ryku glanced down at the plaza and spotted Lynne, "Lynne...Well isn't she a beauty." He was still waiting for the Runner before him to give him her own name.
Xenree breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, it isn't what I want from you. It's what you have that's mine. Give me what I gave you before I died." Saphique trembled, "N-no...I need...I need you to tell me! She...I need her. If she abandons me...what'll I do?" Saph was cracking and Omega's voice rang through his head, Don't let them fool you. You know where she is. Where is Saix? The Beserker. Follow the moon's trail in darkness." Saph nodded to himself, regaining his posture and focusing until he saw a trail that glowed like the moon. He dashed off after it.
Saix smiled at Mage and jumped back in surprise at the charm Alphonse had pulled out. He recognized that mark. It now lie on Renee's skin just over her heart where Dark Void touched her, "No! Don't you dare summon her here!" he snarled, grabbing for the charm, but it was too late. A flash of bright white light shone in the middle of Yen Sid's room. Xenree had felt a tug on her and almost shrugged it off until she remembered only Alphonse had a charm to summon her. A smile spread over her lips. Alphonse hadn't wanted to stay with her and now he needed her again. Another favour perhaps? She went to his yet to be said call. Finding herself in Yen Sid's Mysterious Castle room. Her eyes adjusted to the dimmer light and her smile grew as she saw Saix, sheilding the small girl she remembered as Mage. Ignoring Alphonse completely, Dark Void flashed into her hand out of a pool of darkness, "Mage..." hate gleamed in her silver eyes and Saix stepped in between them. Saph held his Keyblade out to them, "You know where this Mage is! Tell me! I need to know, if Xenree finds me useless, that's the end of me!" He'd ignored them calling him Dawn, that wasn't his name and he knew it.
Is it just me or is it quieter around here... Two blank white eyes opened and stared at the a gray floor. There's nothing....nothing around or inside me... His head jerked upright, or what felt like upright. Which way was up? Down? Dread tickled his mind. I wonder...who or what else is here... Slience...it was something familiar to her ears. A dryness settled on her nose...? Unconsciously, she licked it to moisten it and felt better. Hair tickled her nose. The sensation and reflex to itch it were drown out by the chattering of her conscience, I'm supposed to be somewhere, I just know it..... Bad.
Akira's eyes widened at the on coming Fire and Firaga. The explosion knocked her onto her back. "Oof." Sprining back to her feet, she ignored the stabbing pain in her legs and lifted her gunblade again, "C'mon, is that the best you got?!" Lightning's eyes opened to an explostion and Cid goading her companions. Struggling to her feet, she stayed in her Medic mode and healed herself as best she could. Having Hope or Vanille would've proved useful at this moment. Racing to stand beside Akira and Ryou, she healed them with a last Cura and switched to her Ravager mode, "Let's go!" She casted Thundaga on Dahaka, hoping to knock him down to their level.
Saph blinked in surprise, "Uh, I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm looking for a person named Mage. At least I think it's a person. She didn't specify." Xemnas frowned, "She?" "Yeah...you know, Xenree." Out of reflex, everyone summoned their weapons and pointed them at him. Saph's eyes widened, "Whoa...hey now...take it easy fellas." "What do you know about Xenree!?" "You've seen her? Spoken to her?" "Isn't she a total wack job now?" Saph growled, his Keyblade glowing with a dim light, "Lady Xenree is my mistress. I protect her! I won't have you bad-mouthing her like this!" Xemnas held his arm out in front of everyone to hold them back. "What is Xenree like?" Saphique didn't know how to answer him, "Uh...she's nice to me...sometimes. When I don't mess up, she's nice. She helped Alphonse in his test to get his Keyblade. And me too, she made it so we could graduate. Omega said I had to protect her and Dark Void." Xemnas was confused at the last part but he felt a twinge of curiosity and hope that if Xenree was somewhat nice to this boy, she'd accept him again as easily.
Hmm, not really but a number of things could happen since he's flying. An air current could carry him to Shiira and those guys out there or something else.
Ryku memorized the name and smiled charmingly, "Lynne, thanks. Oh, I'm quite aware of her friends. Give her a message for me would you? Tell her 'the window's unlocked'." Ryku couldn't help but grin. His stalker had a pretty name and now, he knew it. Closing his eyes for a moment, he decided he'd have to give her his name. "I'm Ryku Fox. My brother gave himself and me a nickname back when we first joined. They call me 'White Chaos', though I'm not very chaotic. He laughed and realized he was far too friendly with the Runners. "Ah, I suppose I shouldn't socialize with you like this. Miss....?" He realized he hadn't gotten her name either.
