Renee spared no interest in the wounded Xone as she listened to his story. "Oh, my, I feel like I've missed something. Who is Equinox? Does he have something to do with Xemnas?" Xone hefted himself up, despite Xion and Roxas' efforts to keep him down, "Equinox is an offspring of Xehanort. Xemnas is also one. That's there connection. Over the periods of time I've spent listening to the darkness, I had heard this story before." The King perked up from his seat on the ground, "Listening to the darkness?" Xone nodded weakly, "Maybe it's time I stopped just calling myself Xone. Allow me. It's nothing special, but I am the former ruler of what some of you might call twilight. It's why Xemnas calls me a halfling. Half dark, half light. I belong no where except in nothingness or Twilight." He smiled and pulled out a pendent that looked like a sun with three lightning bolts going through it, "Apollimi might not like it, but when I asked her to seal my weapon abilities for the safety of my family I had her reincarnate my soul. Technically I'm a lot older than I look." Blinking his gray eyes he bowed his head, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make this into a story about my life."
Xenree watched in fasination how quiet Xion got when Xigbar addressed her, even by the horrid nicknames he seemed to give everyone. Pushing her white hair behind her ear she leaned against the wall, twirling a dark blade around her finger. Naturally, the blade moved on it's own around her finger so her mind could wander. Xigbar patted Xion's head, "That's right. Now how about you two stop this nonsense fighting over...whatever it is and introduce your friend to your elder. Alright, Poppet?" He looked at the wolf girl with his one yellow eye, "And you, a wolf, interesting. How 'bout you stop snarling and be friendly. We're all on the same team here, aren't we?" Just for kicks he looked at Roxas and laughed, "Hey there tiger. Long time no see. Missions wearing you down?"
Renee shook her head and smiled cheerfully, "The Eternal Requiem? What's that?" Xenree fell over, exhausted from her fit of anger and lay in the debris. "How...this can't be the end..." Xemnas returned to her and gathered her up in his arms, "I'll make sure it's not. Xenree, you are my beloved Kingdom Hearts. The creator of Kingdom Hearts....my evenescence pale light." Xone opened his eyes and looked at Renee, "R...enee...is that...really her?"
Xenree growled and relaxed as the wolf girl and Xion seemed to be going to fight. Pleased with the simple emotion of anger she retracted her dark blades. "Too bad, and I was just going to behead someone. What a drag today has turned out to be." Xigbar rubbed his throat when her blade disappeared. He gave a cocky smile to Daraxlu's comment, "Nice to see someone understands." Noticing Xion summon her Keyblade he calmly walked toward them and stood behind her, "Now now, Xion, is this really how you welcome the new members? If I remember correctly, Poppet, you were welcomed with open arms even though you were number XIV in an Organization of XIII."
WELL I was going to get off for the day and have my Thanksgiving today. So I'll talk to you when the moon come up.
Zane sighed, this again? he thought and pulled his mind from how Zee would possibly die. He pet her hair and kissed her forehead. Zee's one recurring nightmare made him toss and turn in his sleep. He jerked awake, hoping Sasha hadn't been disturbed.
i'm okay, actually I was going to get off for the day. gotta be social. Today we're having our Thanksgiving. yum I'll talk to you later, kay
Renee smiled sadly at him, "She is that. Something so evil...came from me..." she could feel a dark cloud desend on her. OOC: yea me too. Night.
Renee ran to him and let him lean on her, "You shouldn't push yourself. Xenree's claws did a serious amount of internal damage. She wasn't kidding when she stabbed you. She never is..." Xion narrowed her blue eyes at her, "Why, Renee, you sound as if you have had personal time with this creature."
Xone passed out mumbling, "Neo...that's my name....don't wear it out.." Renee eased up on the salve and covered him up, "He should do fine, but I'll have to keep an eye on him. What do we do now?" Roxas stood and shivered, "Well, you all saw it. You all saw Xenree's true form. She's a monster." Xion slapped him, "Pull yourself together. She's not that...terrifying." The King smiled weakly, "We were all a little frightened by her appearance."
Renee smiled at him and continued to rub on the salve, "No, Roxas and Xion holding him for me should be enough. I'm sorry...what was his name?" Xone opened one red eye, "It's Xone..." he managed before straining against Roxas and Xion's grip, trying to get away from the salve, "It...burns!" Renee sadly let up for a minute to let him catch his breath, "I know sweety. But it'll make you better." The King fell back, "We should just rest up, fellas. Making sure anyone injured is alright is first priority. Then we can start to figure out how to get Xone's heart back."
Jesse told me and it's not hard to get you to tell me. You told MaM_1 who's my friend and I look out for her.
Xone's blood boiled at the Curaga. He shreiked in pain, "S-stop it! SHADOW RESONANCE!" a dark beam of dark energy shot from Xone's palm toward Magneticeon. Roxas and Xion held him down as he tried to get up, "Stay still!" "Your wound!" Renee stood over him, "It's Malice. Xemnas's blade, Malice has special properties that make any wound it inflicts so severe that any cure spell will harm the one trying to be cured. Allow me." She pulled out a pouch from somewhere and smoothed a clear salve on his wound.
Renee crawled over to Xyplexil. She put her hand on his wound, "Raoxthu...he's not okay." She worried and touched his face. Xone didn't move and Roxas fretted, "Xone's not looking too good either." Xion hit Roxas lightly on his head and stripped away Xone's clothes to get at the wound, "Stop being such a baby and help!" The King dropped his keyblade and helped Xion.
Renee opened her eyes to no wind, no darkness, no Xemnas, no Xenree and no Castle that Never Was. She dropped to her knees, tired, "She'll be okay...she'll be okay." she repeated to herself. Axel blinked and let go of his chakrams. Roxas, Xion and the King were gathered around Xone. He bled freely from the wound in his chest. Xenree destroyed the room and Xemnas left her to her fit.
Never mind then. I'm not gonna tell ya.
okay to a certain degree. I assume you heard about Jesse and me?
Xenree and Renee stared at eachother before Xenree dropped Xyplexil like a wet blanket. Her claws covered in his blood. Her voice returned to normal, "I don't understand. Why would you want to save them? They...they...they betrayed us!" her darkness pulsed and started to decimate the room. Renee screamed and covered her head from the winds. Xemnas frowned and dropped Xone. Picking up his heart and pocketing it again. "Such a waste of time. Xenree, you have a mission to do, don't forget that." He summoned Malice and gave Xone a final cut so deep he'd probably die of infection if not blood loss.
Renee let go of Raoxthu, "Ah, please Xyplexil, you can't." Xenree took their distraction to her advantage, "Never turn your backs on a fight!" The claws on her massive wings elongated and pierced through Xyplexil. "I've had enough of your gibberish." She held him aloft in the air infront of her, impaled on her claws and laughed. Her laughter cut off at the sound of a sweet voice. "Look at what you've done, Xenree...you've hurt them." Tears dripped down Renee's cheeks as she stared at Xenree. Xenree returned her stare with blank silver eyes for a long while, she was silent, holding Xyplexil. Xemnas frowned, "Renee...Raoxthu...so you've come to spoil our party. Please, feel free to join in on the fun."
Renee shut her eyes and gripped him as tightly as she could, waiting for it to be over. Xenree jumped, kicked Roxas back and flipped backwards. "DARK SHOCKWAVE!" she slammed her keyblades into the ground and off to her sides, eliminating Morphos' Lightning Break and Xyplexil's Freeze Break, knocking them back with waves of darkness. Her keyblades moved faster than the eye could follow as she deflected each egg shot at her. Her mind went through the stages of how she should respond like a robot. Take care of Roxas: jump kick. Cancel freeze and lightning break: dark shockwave. Deflect Ice eggs: keyblade. Firagas: water barrier. Gravity: Reversal. Refocusing on the battle she lightly tapped her keyblade to the floor, "WATER BARRIER!" The Firaga's went out like candles. Gravity hit her, making her legs feel heavy, her silver eyes flashed, "REVERSAL! Warping from where Gravity was aimed, Xenree appeared behind them and grinned, "You're time is up!" she slashed at them all from behind. Darkness extending the range of her slash.
