.::.Build Your Cages.::.

Marluxia was no fool, he hadn't taken notice of them being followed, however there are many different corridors of darkness. "Going down..." he said softly as him and Larxene disappeared amongst the dark abyss. He did a few more subtley moves among the corridors before stopping and resting a little. He figured if anything that would have lost him, taking a casual look down to see if Larxene was still ok.

He moved a few strands of hair from her face, the countenance of pain obviously shown somewhat from her actions in the battle. He sighed, "and here I told you to take care of yourself..." he said shaking his head finally finding his exit among the darkness. He stepped out into the bright white sight of Castle Oblivion, his room to be specific.

He walked slowly over to his bed, gently letting Larxene lay upon it, "and here I said I didn't want to see you in this view again..." he said walking over to an empty vase, causing pink rose to grow in it. He looked around his room, giving a soft sigh knowing that with this new headquarters and the situation at hand that he would not be returning here at all. That was if he even survived to come back here after enacting his plan to overthrow the Organization.

 

"Since when is summoning five of your water things and making one big freak of nature to attack them, fun?More like overkill."Xeltic muttered, rolling his eyes and looking over toward Kuaxa, who seemed to be getting angry.

The sight of that just made Xeltic laugh and shake his head."Shut up already,no ones picking on her.She's insecure enough as it is."he folded his arms and glanced at Xengla, giving her a disappointed stare.

"You can drain the water now, Sea World.Especially since you nearly got your tail handed to you."

 

Xengla cringed at KuaXa's shout and once again raised her arms in that same defensive pose. She lowered them down again, only to meet the disappointing look of Xeltic. "S-sorry.....and....I...guess...maybe I am...heh heh...." That's happened to me before too many times.......I think. *sigh*.... And she still doesn't know what exactly is going on.

 

"Well, I Know the tough guy act your putting on is making me laugh."Xeltic grinned and put his hands behind his head, snickering out loud." I Respect none of you,because you give me little reason to do so..threats are getting you nowhere."

With that being said Xeltic lowered his arms and jumped back, suspecting that Kuaxa may get a tantrum from not having his way."And I Fear no one..do you got that,Son of Shamu?"he asked

 

ooc: LOTO, they were already in a corridor of darkness, so technicly it should be a one way trip.

bic: Toxyn grinned, noticing the attempt to lose him, though it was quite easy for him to manuver, using similure tactics which he had used in order to follow Demyx in the first place. Portals were indeed a specialty of his, and the minute Marluxia had went through the next one, leading to the next room, Toxyn had taken advantage of the situation, as he levitated towards where he could sense the other end of the portal that Marluxia had used, as he helled out his hand, creating a type of field around it, creating a gravitational disbalance in the area, making everything much lighter, and considering the properties of an actual opening, it would cause it to stay open, without closing. It would not take long for him either since it would be easy to track it down using his abilities, and soon finding it, he lowered himself to ground which he could actually walk on, as he began to step through the opening as well, an obviously displeased look on his face. "You've been making me go through a lot of trouble, and I don't appreciate that." he said to him. He obviously did not like Marluxia since he was already making it so that way he would have no choice but to show one of his abilities already, which had annoyed him greatly, especially since such a moment of contact was crucial to his plans, even if he had to throw himself into a situation where he was now in enemy terrotory, obviously putting himself at a disadvantage.

ooc: I just that I would say it now, I already use the same tactics in how toxyns room was formed, so it shouldnt be that hard to use it for merely one opening. Just thought I would say....

also kitty, I'll pm you my charecters exsact abilities later. Twilight made it a point to me that I never listed them so I'll just pm them so that way its not like I do anything unexpected, k

 

"Xemnas? Who's Xemnas? Where're we going?" Xengla quickly fired these questions at KuaXa. What's he talking about? Why did he look like he was about to go on a killing spree, 3 seconds ago? How come he's all calm now? What's that guy's problem? How come he was hassling me? Wha-........

 

OOC: They were in a corridor of darkness, however there are many different places to exit. Take Sora being in it with Maleficent's help in Kh2, the place was like an abyss, I would think there would be more than one place to leave.

BIC: Marluxia shook his head and rubbed his temples, "oh please...you are annoyed?" he said turning around his eyebrow raised, "you don't even know the emotion..." He looked the man over, he did appear the strongest out of them, however he wasn't intimidated.

"Rather foolish...although some do believe ending this pitiful existence of ours is better than living it..." he said turning back around to his window. "Plus the nerve of entering into someone's room...my my...no manners at all..." He conjured vines around Larxene, them being rather strong and protective in manner.

"I will give you the chance to leave however...a smart move as I would take in such a situation as this is..." he said softly staring out the window, "I must admit though...I am curious as to why you followed me...did you expect me to lead you straight to our headquarters?"

 

"As I thought, Aqua Man." Xeltic commented once Kuaxa backed down.So predictable, so pathetic.Why should he fear a founder when they ease off so easily?Too bad, he was ready for a good fight...and as for the Sea."Call on your sea critters next time and you might be able to persuade me..Mermaid Man."he finished and walked off, disappearing through a self made portal and closing it behind him.

He appeared back at the Nameless castle and laughed out loud before heading inside.

 

ooc: hmmm, well you DO have a point there, but I thought it was different since she uses the power of the heartless, and the orginization uses their own powers. I figured that if it was like that, then there would be only one specific area where people go through. idk, I think thats sort of a debatable subject >.>

bic: "I usually tend to believe that annoyance is not an emotion. Merely a trait that comes with the ability to think" Toxyn stated. "Well then, in that case, I should probably apologize for my rudeness, now shouldn't I. I am afraid that while I must apologize for not only have I barged into your room, but I am afraid that I must decline your generous offer" Toxyn said to him. "Tell me, you two obviously seem close. Why so protective of only one member when you should be more defensive of all of your members. What makes her so special?" toxyn questioned

 

OOC: You people move too fast for me D:. And actually, Deathsight, in the Novel translations [told you, read them ;P], you can exit anywhere. It's a corridor. Riku and Saïx battle inside it when Axel was trying to take Kairi, and Axel and Saïx also spoke in there. I'm thinking it's a area and passage.


"Good, good, come with me. We need to pay a visit to Vexen," Xemnas replied to Zexion shortly, creating a portal for them to pass through, and reach the designated lab. He did not wait for a confirmation as he stopped in, but he did slow for the sixth member to follow.

Good girl, was what Larxene thought in pride when Marluxia made the vines combine into a sort of platform, or "bed", laying there comfortably, letting her eyes fall on the fire swirling and burning in the distance where Axel laid, watching the girl assist nevertheless after Demyx shoved her unnecessarily. What do you know? Her instincts and gut feeling had another victory in their grasp, and she smirked to herself at the choice she had made when Axel had needed help, wondering what Demyx was thinking now that her reason for giving the redhead to the female was beginning to be revealed. Just the fact that she was proven right was enough to satisfy her, and when Marluxia was responding to that, now irritably, unknown member who had gotten on her nerves with just his voice, tone, and actions, she just tuned things out again, not really needing all of that. Heh. The troublemaker, she could guess. Maybe they did have something in common, unfortunately. It wasn't like she was a troublemaker either, however, as all she had was her mouth to bite. Besides, Marluxia had patience and calm. He could handle him in a mature manner. The kid was something he wouldn't waste time with anyway.

Relaxing herself in her makeshift bed, she wasn't honestly hurt, minus the paralysis, but her limbs were getting to move properly. Still, hard, and it made her muscles ache, but it was improving...a little. Not much has changed, truthfully. She only got distracted when she was hearing Marluxia's words on taking her back, hearing the swoosh of a portal being opened, and in reflex, she tried to sit up, but found that her body was stuck, forgetting the state she was in. Damn. She widened her eyes when he had placed her in his arms to go, and if she would had a chance to move and struggle, and fight it off, she would have. She didn't want to leave. Not yet. The fight and battle was still on, there were things to do, she needed to get that Toxyn guy taken care of, even though she gave herself away a lot by what she did. Even if her body could not protest, her voice did, especially as she was covered in darkness. That meant they were going. "Marluxia! No, I don't want to go yet! They're still things to do! I'm fine, really I am. I just need time to...move..."

She bit her tongue, but she figured she was acting like a child more than usual, and she was whining. Yet, she didn't want to leave. And there was nothing she could do about it right now, which is what made her tick. Angered, but more disappointed, than anything, she gave, her lips in a deep frown as he took her somewhere else without consent. That was another thing: she didn't want to go into the Castle That Never Was like this either. Great. Her senses in alert, she shifted her vision, though it was covered in shadow, to the opening, knowing that someone had managed to follow them. "Hey...I think we're being..." But her words stopped when they reached a bright, white room, with very white walls, and pale light everywhere, and she noticed by the markings, and the ceiling, that it wasn't the Castle That Never Was. He went to Castle Oblivion. She breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she wasn't to go with the other members seeing her this way. When she tried to speak again, she shut when he pulled strands of her hair gently away from her face, and she remained silent, not yet used to him doing that. In the end, she couldn't really complain...yet, when she was healed of her paralysis, if the fight was yet to quell, she'll go back.

Keeping her tranquility, she was just quiet as he laid her in a real mattress, the soft plush feeling very comfy like her own bed, and when he spoke to her, she figured he was just concerned. Sighing, she stared at him, grateful nonetheless, even if it wasn't what she wanted, before another voice interrupted. So she was right. Someone had followed them. She growled in her throat as she saw Toxyn, the person she was less fond with compared to the other Organization members. He was up to something. Whether with her, or Marluxia. Or both. She sent her partner a look of warning immediately, telling him that he's much more than a physical attributed rival. Or at least, that's what she was trying to get at. The question did catch her interest despite this, she can admit...

 

Marluxia shook his head, "refuse my offer...I see..." he said taking a few steps closer to Larxene as well as Toxyn, "what exactly do you expect to receive...rather to find following me here...as I told you there is nothing of value here to you..." He stretched a little, "I must say though...you are rather a difference than your friends back there..."

He eyed the man looking for any display of anything, "good...you know how to hide yourself and abilities well...a great attribute by very few..." He glanced picking up Larxene's gaze, "hmm...what makes her so special..." He sat down on the edge of her bed, "well you see...regardless if our superior makes law stating no emotion...this Organization doesn't seem to be able to comprehend something of the sort..."

He rubbed his temples, "you can't tell me there isn't someone in your Organization who acts the same...like they aren't a nobody..." he said his eyes and face blank. "However I would imagine regardless there is probably someone you get along better with in your Organization than the rest...whether it is because they understand you well enough...or your elements just contribute towards a greater being..."

He conjured a rose in his fingers smelling it, almost relaxing at its aroma, "there now...I have answered your question...why not giving mine a shot..." he said his eyes locked. "What did you hope to accomplish by jumping through that portal..."

 

ooc: ah, I see. then sorry. I think I'll have to read up on it myself, but either way.

bic: Toxyn chuckled slightly. "My oh my. That would be the day indeed" Toxyn said, ammused by the comment. "Unlike most of my members, I am afraid that I am not as bloody thirsty, so I doubt that I could truelly get along with any of them" he said, disturbed by the very thought of it. Whether he might be able to get along with a pet lover, a man who thinks he has emotions, or a girl too shy for her own good, or any of the other members perhaps. Towards the end, he truelly was alone in the orginization. But when he heard Marluxia's second comment, he smiled slightly. "Of course. I am here for my own reasons obviously, but I am afraid that my main reason at this very moment, is to establish two things. Mainly, the safe return of your ally. Xiomara her name is I do believe, and when I speak of such things, I mean WITHOUT the intereference of my other, more........intrusive, members. Though it is not like I have the right to speak of them when I myself have been intruding, now do I" he said, chuckling a little.

 

Marluxia was slightly surprised by his comment, "return Xioimara..." he said softly looking over his face for any hint of doubt, "I see...well that is rather what the cause of all this fuss is over..." He sighed rubbing his temples, "something that has caused me..as you put it in a state of annoyance..."

"If I may ask...what reasoning do you have for wanting to return her...are you not our enemy?" he said his suspicious not being moved, "and as far as you just returning her without those bothersome fools would be appreciated by our superior..." He thought for a second, "so is this merely a message I should pass onto my superior...or rather something that will occur just between us?"

He didn't know why, but for some reason that statement made the area tense, whether he said that as a ruse or if he actually meant it, it really didn't falter his state of being. "I must say though...one who is willing to debate could get farther than your other member's approaches..."

 

"Indeed it is, isn't it. The members of my orginization have been foolish you see, believing that her powers would be of much importance. All her powers do will bring about wrought and destruction, and so I believe that she would be better in your hands" he said to Marluxia. He was pleased by this now, more so of the fact that he may finally be able to converse without imbuciles getting in his way, whether they be from one orginization or the other.
"Though, indeed, you are correct, some may definatly say that I am your enemy. At the same time though, I believe that there are certain things which should not get in the way of possible alliances....if you catch my drift" Toxyn said to him, quite confident in the fact that he had.
"As for whom this is for, I believe that your superior would be wise to obviously know of this. What he plans to do after this is done, I do not know, but think of it as a way to establish a new friendship, or, well, at least what one might think of as a friendship" Toxyn said, though as he said it, his face was emotionless now as he said this.
"Though it does interest me though that he take this up. Why, do you believe that within this orginization, you and you alone are worthy of being the only one to have knowledge of this trade?" he questioned marluxia

 

Larxene couldn't believe this. The more she listened, the more she just wanted to literally annihilate this person to their very core. Marluxia better not take this bait, it was so easy to fall for it. Even if those two become partners, there's no way Toxyn is not doing this for a certain reason, or if there's nothing in there that he wants. If Marluxia ever conspires with him, there won't be a Organization for him to rule over when he succeeds, and then it will screw them all over in the end. She didn't trust Toxyn. And she didn't want him here anymore. She somehow wished Marluxia would just keep this between him, and her, and not let anyone else in, or interrupt. Glaring at her pink haired...friend, because she was wondering why he was talking still to Toxyn when he obviously could use play on words, and she was getting agitated. Snarling, and with her movements becoming more free, she eyed him, "I think the discussion can be over. Marluxia, don't waste your time on him...he won't be doing this for anyone's good, especially as there's something in it for him...why do you even keep talking?"

She had discussed with him before, that if he did want to betray their group, that it should be done after they deal with this new unknown Organization that was basically just a copy of their own, because they couldn't be unique or original enough. Nobody knew what they were up to. And she won't stay silent anymore and let this continue. She didn't care whether whatever plans would benefit them both, she just didn't want anything to do with this guy whatsoever.

 

"I keep talking because I obviously have certain things which I can gain an advantage from if I am to associate with the orginization. Why, is there anything which I can do which may be able to help you trust me more? Besides the fact which I plan on handing over that which so many wish to make join the orginization which I am related with, the fact that I never truelly attacked you, as well as the fact that I have put myself into a situation where at any moment I may be killed is not enough?" Toxyn said to Larxene, trying to make his point, though amused by the fact that he was not trusted by her, and that she was getting so 'nervous' around him, or so to speak.

 

Marluxia ignored Larxene's cries of protest, he thought for a moment before speaking, "I see...alliances...interesting topic to speak on..." he blankly. "Honestly the only alliance I have is with this Organization...I am not of high enough stature in the group to agree to such a thing..." He reached out his hand, taking Larxene's in his, sending a sense of calmness through there connection.

"This Organization would much very much so like to have her back...perhaps there could be a place upon which we could make the exchange...you know...safely..." he said his suspicions still not cleared. "That way we could do so as you said without interruptions from foolish friends..." He sighed gently rubbing her hand now with his thumb.

"However I would believe it would be best if you spoke with our superior...or rather allowed me to pass on the message..." he said softly, "unless you wish me not to..." He stood up not letting go of her hand though, "if you would perhaps allow me sometime to think over the deal though...and I shall get back to you in some manner...."

 

"I can understand your point of veiw, so then there for you may think. Of course, if you were to pass things onto your superior, then I would be most grateful." toxyn said to him. "There is one thing though, which you should pass along, which I find will be of much importance." he said to him. "If we are to meet, then I am afraid that there is one thing which I must have ensured. It would be most appreciatives if you, larxene, Axel, and the water mage, demyx I believe his name was, were to show up." he said to him, still no emotion showing. "You see, the threat of my orginization appearing is constant, and though I will take all possible measures, if there is anything which may happen, then I will require to appear overpowered, as well as you will require members which may keep them busy, incase any of them are to appear" he said to Marluxia. "ANd if you are seeking a method to contact me, then I should suggest that you send your assistant here" he said to Marluxia. "Given my members abilities, I am afraid that she will be the one with the most probable chance of being able to meet with me and survive incase of any.........disturbances" Toxyn said, making a note of Larxene's current power against the orginization

 

OOC: Dang you guys were busy today responding. It was my younger sister's birthday so I've been there for her during the day.)

"That weasel,"was all Demyx mumbled under his breath once Marluxia had left with Larxene in his arms. He was not going to abandon Axel like Marluxia had and when he got back to the castle, he would explain to Xemnas of how the eleventh member left him and Axel alone in the hands of the enemy. Now he understood why Axel hated Marluxia so much. The pink haired man thought he was better than anyone and he had this way of persuasion and twisting the truth for his own purposes. He could never be trusted with anything and the thought of him becoming one of high command was dispicable. The musician would rather walk through fire then never follow the graceful assassin's commands regardless if he was ordered to or not. Who would want to to have that sophicated, prima donna for a leader especially one with his actions and gestures.

"Pathetic."

The ninth member rolled his eyes at how femine Marluxia acted with flaunting his rose pedals whenever he threw back his hood. The only masculine thing about him was that he could injure and kill and what was with him and his persona of having his own place, Castle Oblivion that he claimed he ruled supreme on top of his mighty throne. Yes, Demyx could only imagine, the anti-male sitting high and mighty on his seat of power covered in flowers and vines. The more he thought of it, the more it made him cringe. "Yeah, one look at that and that would really send fear to the hearts of thousands. Right... That freak of nature should of never been a male. I remember the first time I saw him when he joined the organization, I thought he was a she. Man that guy just gives true guys a bad name. Glad I wasn't around him that much unless I had to be," he thought of the past memories, but disregarded those for he had to deal with the events that were taking now in the present.

Demyx had watched Xengla's act of helping his friend and to his amazement she had the very element that was making Axel stronger, but what was her reason for doing so? Was it because she was ordered to by Larxene and if she refused the savage nypmh would go after and hunt her down or did this suspicious female have other intentions? What ever they were, Demyx was not a fool and still felt what Larxene had done was foolish and treacherous for she took the chance of having the enemy help them. Well what if Xengla had had other plans and have captured Axel by orders of her higher officals like Toxyn or KuaXa or Xeltic? If that was the outcome then Larxene would of payed the price, but she was a risk taker and had this way of thinking that was beyond reasoning. Ignoring and curling his lip up at Xengla for the good deed she had done, he layed on his side within the circle of fire and didn't move from Axel not caring if the heat was zapping his strength or power. All that was on his mind was seeking a resoulution and comfort from the member he trusted and who would not judge him.

"I'll never understand her. I don't even know whose side she is on anymore? She saves you after you put up an impressive fight that you would of won if that KuaXa guy didn't cheat with his cheap monsters, I save her because she was going to drop you since she doesn't have much upper body strength like us guys do, and she practically bites my head off and then what makes me so mad is she becomes this martyr and pulls off this explosive lightning display with her damn power and our attackers thinks she is the best fighter of us just because of that," his eyes were fierce and jealous as he remained in control and tried not to fly off the handle. "How lame and what's worse is Marluxia comes out of no where to save the day. I fought too didn't I?" he curled both of his hands to his chest and looked down at the ground before starring into Axel's emerald eyes. "I attacked relentessly using all of my moves and being quick on my feet and weakening myself to protect you and her and what does she do? She b****es at me and acts that my part in this battle was no big deal when I'm the only one in our organization who has the element of water so I had the advantage." His right hand pointed to himself as he felt his confidence and ego rising.

Taking a breath from his rant, he thought of his open gesture of reconcile for his unspeakable ways earlier in the day. "The letter I wrote her didn't faze her what so ever and now she thinks I'm more of an idiot. Why do I even try? Is she even worth it? What traits do I see in her that I admire? Why am I such a glutton for punishment?" he asked these questions as he remembered what he wrote on the letter that he placed on her chest before he departed from the Castle That Never Was. "One thing for sure is Marluxia is up to no good and once you get your strength you better go after him for I believe that guy Toxyn followed after him. Toxyn approached me before you came and he was talking about me leaving you guys and he wanted to get into my head like he was trying to double cross me, but I know where my loyalties lie and that is with you if anything for you're the only one who understands me and treats me like a friend, no more like a close brother. You make me feel wanted and if it wern't for you and you believing in me then I'm afraid I would have no one," he helped Axel up to his feet and let him lean on him as he hoped he could manage on his own.

 

Axel felt his strength returning as the ring of fire was greatly energizing him and his heat almost back to his maximum level. He couldn't believe the words he was hearing from Demyx as he caught on to every little tidbit he said about Marluxia and Larxene and the other rival members that had spoken earlier. Just because the flurry had his eyes closed didn't mean he had not caught everything that was said. Which he did. He opened his eyes slightly starring at Xengla a little curious about her helping him, but also greatful and appreaciative. He wasn't sure why she would be on the rival side instead of on their own. She had a great power and probably her own team took her for granted. Well they shouldn't underestimate her because fire is a devasting destructive force to be reckon with. He had a feeling that she wasn't like the rest of the cheap wanna bees in the other organization and he didn't care if she was supposed to be the enemy, but he saw some kind of good in her. She posessed the same gift like he had and admired her in a way. In his mind this female member didn't appear to be as blood thirsty or power hungry like the others he had encountered so far. Maybe there could be some sort of trust, but right now he needed to show his graditute.

"I don't know why, but thanks for what you did." He smiled a bit as he balanced himself so that he could walk and not let Demyx have to assist him so much. "Demyx doesn't trust you because you are on the other side and you are also fire, but I have respect for you and he will come around eventually. He is one of my best friends and one that I could trust which explains why he hasn't left my side."


Axel began to stretch his arms getting his composure as he turned to look at Demyx. "Larxene is a risk taker, but so am I. You have to admit that your water alone couldn't help me and I needed another heat source. She did the right thing even though you may have saw it as treacherous and I don't blame you for you don't want any harm to come to me and you simply can't trust her after all the things she has done to you, while you tried to justify your points. Larxene is never going to change and you can't make her, so it a waste of your time. She is not worth the effort. She is deadly and beautiful, but her personality sucks and you should have me deal with her since I don't want you to get hurt anymore especially by the superior. I know how to handle her. Marluxia will get what is coming to him as I have suspect him since he was not present at our last meeting until he was forced to come back. I have spies in Castle Oblivion so they can keep an eye on him and this may be a hunch, but I have a feeling that is where he retreated off to. I am going to search for him and see what he is really up to."

He made sure that his powers were back and he flexed his muscles underneath his cloak a bit to make sure he was in satisfied shape to take on any other adversaries. He was sore and humilated that KuaXa had cheated with his dragons and other beasts to sink low by any enemy standards by strangling them. "I would of defeated that cocky son of *****.... if it weren't for his pet lackeys helping him out. So far he seems to be nothing without them." The red head stretched some more and this time it was his arms and back that had got this treatment as his head reached down towards his legs backwards. Standing up right he made a portal appear that would lead to Castle Oblivion and before stepping through he mentioned one last thing to Demyx that was very important. "You know I was sent by the superior to get you back. So I assume you will do the right thing and return to the Castle That Never Was. I am not going to force you, but if you return and the boss asks where I am at tell him I've gone to search for my partner unfortunately."

Axel noticed a few dusks that had survived and he relayed an mental message with images to forward to the boss of everything that had happened so far when he was straggled had summoned the dusk and he decided upon not leaving nothing out. He felt the boss should know what was going on since the time of events while he was weakened and other things that transfired. That was his other plan and the dusks was his eyes and ears. No one was going to take all the glory for the battle they fought. He wanted to make sure credit would be given to himself and Demyx for the struggle that they both faced.

The fire starter knew that this was vital information to be relayed to the dusks and then to the assassins as well just in case something happpened to the dusks. The main reason for relaying the message to the boss was to hope that if Demyx did return Xemnas wouldn't be so harsh for the water wielder's valient efforts. Another reason was to inform Xenmas of the events during the battle field. Axel felt that Demyx had come a long way for showing what he could do in battle and risk his life to save him and Larxene. At least he was giving the effort and all he needed was the right guidance and someone that believed in him. Axel would make sure that after all that Demyx had done for him the least he could do is put in a good word for him.

Axel noticed the dusks disappear and made sure they made it to the chambers of the castle that never was where Xemnas was. Once that was accomplished he stepped into the portal.
