"Maybe we weren't ordered to kill him, but we're ordered to kill you if you don't give us some useful information." Vexen grinned and created another icicle, "This is just for my entertainment anyway. He won't die...until I pierce his filthy traitorous heart!" he slid the other icicle into Ash's other hand. Ash held in his screams of agony and shut his eyes. Before long the agony was too much and he let out his cry with a series of words, "The Keyblade War's outcome wasn't my fault! King Neo told me he trusted me! I did it to save my brothers!" Xone stood in the middle of destruction, Enoch staring at him surprised. Xone's anger had turned his eyes red again and darkness pulsed off him now. "Should I finish you now, or give you a chance to grovel at my feet?!"
Zexion frowned, "We cannot...or rather could not feel before. Now we feel only dark emotions. We cannot disobey Xehanort...it is in the contract of our ressurection. You must understand..." Vexen touched his shoulder, "That's enough Zexion. Tell us Claire, where are your friends now?" He took a long icicle he'd formed and slid it soundlessly through Ash's hand, "Maybe now you'll know your place!" Xone batted Enoch's blade away from him, despite his loss of blood from his Keyblade wielding arm, "Now! Dark Tremor!" the earth shook and waves of darkness split apart the earth pillars surrounding them, knocking Enoch backwards onto the ground.
Vexen growled, it was unlike him, "Why you little..." he struck her across the face again and Ash strained against his manacles, "Hey! You can't hit a girl! I'll kill you if I ever get outta these things!" Zexion sighed and pushed Vexen away from her, "What truth?" Vexen tapped his fingers on the only computer in the lab and brought up what looked like a profile on Ash. "So your real name is Acheron....hmm? You're a traitor. You betrayed your friends for the other side of the Keyblade War." he left out which side to make him seem evil. Ash jerked, his eyes wide and searched for the words to explain and not make himself sound like even more of a traitor.
Zero was overtaken by Bell's warmth. His own mother had been rather quiet but very affectionate. "Ah, thank you ma'am. Hello sir." his auburn eyes caught on the short man, he did look like Anita much more than Bell did. "I'm Carron Cross. I've asked that your daughter travel with me on the road in search of new pokemon."
Zexion and Vexen shared a look, "But didn't I hear Rosalina is with all them? Not their enemy?" Vexen nodded, "Why didn't she do her job?" Ash, still ignoring them, smiled reassuringly at Claire, "I'm Ash, there's no need to fear. I don't think they can really act on their words. Your friends should be safe." Even though he was manacled to a table, he sounded as if he'd fight Vexen and Zexion before they could harm Claire's friends.
Zexion smirked, "See what you can do with that one Vexen. I don't think she'll be of any more trouble. Now, Claire...who are you a clone of?" Vexen snorted, "I told you, such questions are unnecessary. What does it matter who-" Zexion silenced him with a hard look and he returned to Ash. Ash stared around dazed and finally focused on the blonde man in front of him, "Ah, who are you?" "Vexen, now tell me who you are." Ash looked over at Claire, he had no idea who she was but a girl as innocent as her should not be frightened, "Hey...it's alright. I'm sure these idiots won't hurt you. You okay over there?" he asked, ignoring Vexen.
Vexen rolled his eyes, "Zexion, do not linger on such trivial things. We know who she's a clone of. At least Xehanort does. We need not ask. And little girl..." his tone warning, "If you refuse to answer Zexion's questions that he asks so politely, we'll bring someone else who will make you talk. Or perhaps simply hurting your 'mommies and daddy' will work." his smile was horrid and Zexion frowned, "Is that really necessary? Inflicting harm on a child?" Zexion knelt beside her, "Perhaps you'd like to start with your name. And we'll move onto something less comfortable." Xone's darkness spilled out from his wound and a pillar of darkness shot straight up from between the ring of earth pillars.
Zain took her laugh that she was feeling better about him and sheepishly smiled, "Ah, tomorrow I'll have to pay Daieko a visit. He said I could drop by whenever to check on the cure."
Vin followed her word almost instantly, refusing to address the problem that he had no powers. Ash unhurriedly walked behind them, "She orders me about as if I'm with her...she'll be in for quite a surprise when I find the right spirit." His powers roamed about, searching for a soul without a body that was strong enough to fight such a woman as Mikazuki.
Vexen jerked, stomped over to her and slapped her, "How dare you! My age has nothing to do with my work!" Zexion caught his hand as he moved to hit her again, "That's enough Vexen. Your subject is waking up." turning to Claire again, Zexion opened his Lexicon, "I'm told you are a clone. But of who? When you were free? What purpose were you made for?"
He stood, setting aside his guitar, "Here, lemme do that. I'll have to go to the music store tomorrow anyway. I must've worn out my strings." he touched the red line on his cheek and winced again, "She's like a vicious ex." he laughed lightly and took over putting everything away.
Vexen barely glanced at the girl as he secured Ash to a table and clamped manacles down on his hands and feet, "What did it say?" Zexion lazily looked the girl over, "Something about not hurting her mommies and daddy...and her birthhome? Were you born here, child?" Xone and Enoch glared at eachother for a while and the earth trembled around them. Pillars of earth formed a ring around them, sealing Enoch and Xone inside. "Time for a father son chat. Why do you challenge my rule?" "Because it's not right! Twilight shouldn't be used for this much evil. I should talk...I've been using it for ill intent for years." Enoch took advantage of his distraction and cut into his arm.
Axel Axel sighed as the boy disappeared, he'd never gotten his name. "How sad. Ah, just another day being all alone...or as alone as one can get." Scratching his head, he returned to his seat on the clock tower. Axel watched the sunset's swirling reds and oranges. Relaxing backwards, he thought about the good old days with Roxas and....the other one. Folding his arms behind his head, Axel could remember back when he was younger and he'd had a heart. "They were good times, I'm sure, but Axel, you've got to stay in the present." World: Twilight Town Location: Clock Tower Interaction: n/a
Vin groaned as he watched Ash, "A bit lazy aren't you?" "Not in the slightest. In fact I'm excorsising my abilities. Hmm, how far now?" he asked as he sent the spirit back to where it came from and brushed off non-existant dirt from his coat.
Vexen and Zexion took Ash and the girl he called defective down to their lab. Vexen sighed as he looked at the girl, "An Eternal indeed. Defective...I wonder what makes her defective." Zexion shrugged, his magic carrying the boy, "Does it matter? Xehanort asked us to get information out of them. It's what we'll do. Whatever they have to offer, we take. Must you disect everything, Vexen?" ooc: Brb dinner
Vin opened his mouth and she jumped. "Ah, women. They never sit still long enough. Oh well. I'll have to tell her someday, I suppose." he smiled easily and copied Mikazuki's jump. Ash sighed, he didn't have physical prowess like those two, but something he considered better. "Light in shadow, I command you, rise from your spiritual oblivion to aid my progression!" As he walked across his feet never touched the ground. Walking on spirits was easier to him than jumping over the rigged path. He kept a firm hold on the spirit's obedience as he moved.
Renee stared after Xenree, a feeling of loss settled in her heart and leaned into Raoxthu. Xenree's skin burned from the dark moon's light. She flew head on into it's dark surface, mushing through it like murky water. The force of the impact knocked her breath from her and her vision went dark. Xion touched her head, still helping Roxas stand, I'm not very okay. The Organization's demise and rebirth as something else is having an effect on us. I don't feel too good. she spoke to Hestia in her head. Enoch twitched and several of the keyblades flew up from the ground, glowing with a dark energy, "You dare defy your father again Neo!? You'll be put back into your place for this!" Xone fended off several of the keyblades' strikes and instead was hit by several heartless and Unversed combos. "Dammit, there's too many of something. Renee! Please, I need you to fight!" The keyblades twirled around Enoch and a longer blade made of a glowing white energy formed in his hand, "Time to end this boy!" Xone covered his face with his keyblade, but the blow never landed. Opening his eyes he saw a series of keyblades shining with light blocking Enoch's blade, "Huh?" They moved off and destroyed a few Unversed about to hit Xone again and slammed themselves back into the ground. Marluxia picked up Ash and carried him with him and the other members of the Organization to Xehanort. "We've a stowaway it appears." "A stowaway or a new addition to our ranks. He's a keyblade wielder." Xaldin kicked Ash's keyblade away from Ash's hand. Saix shrugged, "What should be done with a traitor Keyblade wielder?" Xigbar nudged Axel, "And why is he a traitor all of a sudden?" "You can see the marks on his keyblade from the war a long time ago. He was a dark Keyblade wielder and turned to the light for safety. And I noticed this." Pulling up Ash's sleeve, he touched the half black half light crown symbol. "Like I said...traitor."
Vin blinked, "Huh? Rigged? What kind of people rig a pathway?" Ash sighed, "People who don't want to be found. Don't you know anything Vin? Sometimes you just need to open your eyes to see what's right before you." Ash's eyes probed the area, not many deaths around these parts, more animal souls than human.
Zero blinked, surprised at Anita's mother's appearance. "Ah, hello ma'am. I'm sorry to show up unanounced like this. I'm Carron Cross, but everybody just calls me Zero."
Zain drifted in and out of listening to the tv as he strummed slowly on his guitar. His foot kept a time that didn't exist for the song against the floor. Turning to see Yuki, he stroked a fresh red line across his face, "Ah, welcome back."
