Gabe stood and followed Forrest promptly. "I think she's right man. If the others don't make you believe I'm sure my dad'll beat it into you." He grinned and twirled his sword.
Eden had managed to drag Devlin away from the noise and motion. He lay with his head on her lap on the ground, "You shouldn't drink. It makes you a different person." Devlin sighed and brushed back his hair, "So? I'm not all of who you think I am. You've met my mother." She laid a cold and on his forhead, "That's exactly why you shouldn't drink."
Aww that's depressing. But why April?
Zane was distracted momentarily by Mya being kicked to the ground, "Mya!" Ryku was standing too far back to cut his head off, he managed to cut his cheek with an awkward slash and ran at him with a dagger he'd produced from a hidden pouch. He stabbed Zane in the shoulder with the dagger and Zane punched him in the side of the head. Zane pulled out the dagger and his vision wavered, "W-what's on this dagger Ryku?!" Ryku smiled, "Not a strong enough poison to kill you, but enough that you'll be in pain in moments for a long time, dear brother in law."
Can I be in your family? I've never been in a family.
Um...hi. heehee twilight haters? Sign me up. Sorry guyz I'd have to go with Team Riku. He is BA!
Ryku slid Zane's blades to hit the floor beside his head and headbutted Zane. Zane stumbled backwards, shaking his head hard and blocked Ryku's rather poor attempts to lob off his head with his sword.
wait, wait, wait, wait, did you just change your name again?! Why don't you just change it to Orange Juice!
Ryku fell to the ground in pain, but still alive. Zane growled, "Just die already!" he flicked out his hidden blades and as he was about to stab them into Ryku. Ryku picked up Zane's dropped sword and blocked him, "I'll die when you die!"
Zane rolled his shoulders, "She's around." Ryku laughed, "That's rich. Around." Zane flicked his eyes to Mya's and nodded slightly.
Xenree lifted her hand and a dark corridor opened, "Xone...stop following me around. Xemnas has asked this of me so I'll continue to do as my Lord asks." Xone panicked, "N-no! Xenree, you don't have to follow what he says. He's just using you. Can't you see what it means underneath his words? He wants you to disappear once you complete Kingdom Hearts. You don't mean anything to him!"
Ryku grabbed Zane's wrist and twisted until Zane dropped the sword. "Miss me?" Zane growled, "You wish. Why are you here?" he snarled at Havoc, "Ryku, where's Zee?" Ryku put his hands on his hips, "Zee? Oh, he's fine, for now. Havoc said to keep you alive so I'll ask nicely, where's the other one?" Zane shrugged, "I don't know what you're talking about."
OOC: as for the good/bad. Bad: Xemnas, Xenree, all the Organization XIII members, etc. Good: Xone, your team members. Mage is in between as E said. Xone wanted to go to her, she looked so lost. He pushed Mage at her, "Mage, go to your friend." He looked at everyone, "Wait, there's no hurry. Xemnas said Xenree is the only one who's been able to take the pure hearts wholly. Xenree doesn't go to Wonderland, Xemnas doesn't get that princess' heart." Xenree stared at the ground and stood slowly, "You can't keep me here, Xone." The sunlight sizzled on her coat, "Lord Xemnas has commanded I finish my task and return to darkness. That is the only thing I can do."
Xemnas grinned at Mage and pet Xenree like a faithful dog, "I'm glad you have such a great value of me, Xen. It wouldn't do to have you be...uncertain of my admiration..." he trailed off as he felt his source nearby. He didn't voice any thoughts, only smiled off into the distance. He pulled Xenree against him again, "Continue your journey. Collect the hearts of the remaining five princesses and return to the darkness where you belong, Xenree." he opened a dark corridor and stepped into it with a lasting smile at Xenree and Mage. Xenree's legs trembled and she dropped to her knees, "L-lord Xemnas...I will continue along my path set for me." she said animatedly. Xone felt helpless. "No, this can't be happening. Xenree snap out of it!"
Ryku grinned, "I'll give it my best shot." He pushed open the door. Zane readied his sword, as the door opened he slashed at whomever had intruded. Ryku rolled his eyes and ducked under the blade, "Nice to see you too, Zane."
Gabe blinked rapidly, "Did I just witness a human calculator or what?! Little lady, I think I've misjudged you." He grinned at Maddie and scribbled down a shortened version of what she'd written, "Man, no wonder my dad is always dominating me at everything. He works in the freaking school of superior beings! Damn!"
Xemnas laughed and pulled Xenree's hood back up, "You're only an experiment and a few children. I do as I please. Kingdom Hearts is mine. Ansem taught me and the other offspring of Xehanort that Kingdom Hearts is the source of power for the worlds. Who'd want anything less? Now, Mage, I believe this darkened heart is yours." he held out the once pure heart to her, Come now and feed as your creator commands." Xenree lifted a hand to her lips, her Lord and Master had...kissed her? She didn't feel as weak as she had when she'd cut the last pure heart from her body. Xone pulled Mage behind him, "Leave Mage alone! Xemnas you've caused enough trouble here. Xenree...." She ignored him and continued to stare at Xemnas in a weirdly shocked way.
Devlin grinned and laughed, "Heath's just discovering who he really is! C'mon guys, like you said. We've got it under control. I don't see any real reason to quit having fun." Eden snapped her fingers and Devlin's flames froze, "Devy, I'm sorry but this is out of your control. You need to calm down." Devlin growled and the ice started to melt. His dark brown eyes narrowed and snarled at her, "Keep out of it Eden. You're ruining my buzz."
Ryku walked with Havoc toward the Merichi's house he'd apparently given Zane and Mya. "Only one good thing can come from today. Revenge. And maybe a little something for you." Zane pulled Mya back into the house, "To be prepared, we're gonna have to have a surprise for them. C'mon Mya, if they're coming here, we should be ready."
Xemnas released Xenree and turned to Mage, smiling. "That is your purpose Mage. But there is more to the job of collecting the pure hearts. Xenree takes the hearts wholly from the Princesses with her Keyblade, absorbs the hearts and fills them with her own personal touch of twilight darkness to change the outcome of Kingdom Hearts. Then you come in my little experiment. Consuming the pure hearts after the power within them has been transferred to Kingdom Hearts so the Hero of Light can never return them and destroy my Kingdom Hearts. Starting again will not be an option this time." He tilted Xenree's chin up to him and she stared at him with wide eyes, "You are very important to me Xenree. Without you, Kingdom Hearts would fail." Xenree couldn't speak, she didn't know what to say. Xone couldn't believe his eyes, Xemnas had kissed Xenree, and told the strange little girl she was to eat the hearts of the princesses of Heart. His mind was a jumble of confusion.
