"Well there he goes and once again I'm left alone." Demyx watched Axel part ways with him as the portal disappeared; the vast emptyiness coming forth that seemed to close in on the musican. Everyone from his organization had gone their sepearate ways with other intentions and the members from the rival organization had left without a trace. The battle of the beasts was over and once again no matter how much he put forth the effort his actions were not considered to be noticeable or heroic except for Axel, but he too wanted to be away from the musician mostly due to his pride and ego. Axel had suffered a mighty blow and had to make up for that. He couldn't cut his losses for he was to prideful. Demyx on the other hand, depending on what mood he was in would either get out of harm's way or would attack back with showing great stamina. Starring into the the realm of enternal boredom and mystery, he thought of what his next move would be. He had three options that lead to different outcomes.

The first was to go on ahead with his journey towards the ocean before he was stopped by Toxyn. The sodium from the cool waves would ease his suffering and speed up his recovery without trumping back to the senior member Vexen who would probaly give him a earful of saying how stupid and reckless he was. If he did go to the ocean he would be free from his obligations and away from the heartless, cruel, jeering and scornful outbursts of Larxene whom didn't care if he lived or faded into nothingness. "I was a fool to write that letter and think she would ever be my friend or something more." He was exhusated and exasperated with trying to impress her or simply be his fun loving self. Axel was correct with that assumption. He was wasting his time and draining his strength and power doing what fate would not allow.

Larxene and Demyx were two completely opposite nobodies where she was cruel, sadistic, and vindictive where as he was laid back, carefree, and believed he had a heart. Never did he want to cause so much trouble, but he felt his means had to be bet and he couldn't and wouldn't allow anyone to push him around or treat him like a door mat otherwise what kind of extistence would that be? Demyx needed to be the center of attention and have his acts noticed especially in battle for they made up for his short comings and failures, but he concluded that all of the members simply didn't give a damn about what he did as long as he didn't interefere and ruin everything for them. "They wouldn't even miss me I bet. They're are so preoccupied with getting back Xioimara that if I would of gotten captured they wouldn't come to my rescue and I wouldn't want them to. They are nothing but, selfish heartless *******s," he cringed for a few seconds and wiped his eyes refusing to show any signs of emotions. "And I'm one of them sort of though I don't see myself like that," he walked around the void comptemplating of the treatment he received from the organization.

Wiping his eyes he thought of his second option which was to follow Axel hoping to find him and not be spotted by Marluxia or Larxene for he was not in the mood to be put down once more. He had rarely been to Marluxia's domain and detested going there knowing the graceful assassin would have the advantage. The interior enough alone was so dull and plain for there were no colors to liven up the place and made the castle more like a empty barren wasteland with a few decorative center pieces that reflected Marluxia's taste. The place simply lacked style and had no personaility like no one even dwelled there. No wonder the ones who had been there preferred the Castle That Never Was? Another thing for certain was that Castle Oblivion was a maze and how would he discover Axel let alone try not to be spotted by Marluxia and Larxene? "No...," he gripped his head trying to get her name and visage out of his mind. "Why do I keep thinking of her? She's like this siren calling to me in my head. She's so evil and vile and has the personaility of a stuck up snob and yet she's addictive and interesting and beautiful," he mused until he shook his head getting the thought out of his mind.

"No. I have to decide what I'm going to do and not waste my time on her. She's not good for me plus our elements don't go well together," he paced holding his sides. Now came the third and most upsetting decision which was to heed Axel's orders and head back to the castle, head back to all of the negativity and demeaning remarks, and await whatever fate was in store for him by Xemnas. It was like losing your last chance at an appeal and facing your execution that would either come quickly or linger on until you prayed for the end to come. He could only imagine seeing the remaining members surrounding one of the rooms of the castle, Xigbar and Vexen holding stern cruel gazes like a hawk watching their prey and Xaldin in the background with a wicked grin acorss his features whereas Luxord would be taking bets of how long the ninth member would last as he suffered agonizing pain. He couldn't bear to let that happen to him especially in front of Roxas or Xioimara if she had been rescued. He was older than them and was supposed to be more mature and have them look up to him to set an example, but in reality this was not the case. He placed his hand to his mouth just upon playing the events in his mind of Saix being like a statue, emotionless and plain as well as Lexaeus who would be silent with Zexion. Marluxia would be starring down at him mentally saying that he had this coming to him, and Larxene who would careless or act as if she was bored and yet be excited to see him scream out. What pained him the most was witnessing Axel having to see his underling in such dire need with being helpless in the situation.

No, he could not return on his own for that would be writing a one way ticket to Hell after Xemnas had gotten through to him, if he were to surive the treatment the superior had bestowed upon his weakened state. Snapping his fingers he summoned one of his dancers and stood by awaiting for it to stop prancing about until it stood in one place. Looking sternly upon his follower, he paced around the room for a few seconds for he was nervous of what he had to reply to his servant. "Let the superior know that Axel is well and has gone off to see what his partner is supposedly up to. Do not tell him of my where abouts. I will return when I feel the time is right for if I were to now, I don't even want to imagine what would happpen to me most likely thrown into a dungeon or turned into a dusk or something so painfully horrible I can't even imagine. Do not let me down and do not reply this message to anyone except to Xemnas the Superior now go!" He yelled as the dancer obeyed and disappeared to the location Xemnas was at currently. "Good hopefully that's settled now I know what I have to do," he conjured up a portal of his own and disappeard through it that transported him Castle Oblivion. "Well here goes nothing," he slowly entered a room where a crystal ball was in the center as he kept his auroa down so not to be detected and hid his visage with the deception of his hood.

 

"Huh?" It seemed as if Xengla's world had been turned upside down. Multiple things seemed to be happening at once and suddenly what she was going to remark against KuaXa concerning Xeltic didn't seem so very important anymore. For now all she understood was that they currently had.....trespassers? Either way these trespassers seemed pretty dangerous, as she suddenly felt the floor beneath her shake violently. Xengla could barely even stand. "Whooooaaaaa! S-sir....what's happening?" She remembered the basics now. She was in this organization against the other one. And the original decided to come and have a parade in their home. I wish I knew where they were....maybe I could help kick them out...

 

"Calm yourself" Dustix said. "At the moment, simply hold them off, while I prepare" Dustix said, as he opened a portal, and stepped through it. How could this of happend he thought to himself. He had inticipated that this might occur though, and made certain to that he had a much better back up plan, incase anything like this were to occur. He knew he would have to start planning soon for such an event anyways. after all, it wanst that hard to break into this castle anyway. he just needed to determine what the true scource was

ooc: I think I made a mistake, lol. ive been sayd dusxit all this time when its dustix :P

 

OOC: Let me know how my Vexen is..first time actually using him.

The Chilly Academic, who had his nose in research papers and large text books,suddenly raised his head from his work desk and listened to a couple unwanted guests enter.Whoever they were, he didn't want to deal with them at the moment." I'd have thought it clear that I was busy in my work area, what is it you--"as Vexen placed both hands on his desk and looked around, he examined Xemnas and Zexion behind him.Zexion he could do without, but he treated Xemnas with respect.

"Superior..?"Vexen muttered in mild surprise, turning around and giving him a calm stare.He stood by, listening to his request.It intrigued him though it was backed up by little to no information of what exactly he wanted.But to top this all off, it was just him, the researcher, he wanted.What could it be?

"What exactly is the--"Vexen found himself cut off by Xigbar, who had entered with a large, oddly colored wolf.He took a step closer to find that it was Xio.He had seen some pretty horrid things in his day, but she looked a mess, and a tinge of disgust formed in his stomach.If it wasn't enough having to look over her, it had to be made worse with Xemnas telling him to take care of her.Damn it all, right when he was about to be given an important request!Once he was done, he'd be sure to head to Xemnas before anything else.

Xioimara was more trouble than she was worth..at least in his eyes.He now had to put a hold on his research for her!Life was so cruel to him sometimes.

"Very well,Xemnas."he said silently, hiding his dislike of having the job.But despite his troubles, he would still help her regardless.She truly looked pitiful, and was sure that Xigbar wanted to murder whoever put her in this condition.

"Set her down on the table."he said, pointing toward another table beside the one with piles of research papers that likely wouldn't be able to be defined by anyone else.The table was large enough to hold even Lexaeus,and that was no easy feat.Now he had to worry about wolf hair..at least he had cloth over the table.

--

The Sorcerer that Xaldin had dismissed returned to him, alerting him that Saix had already headed over toward the Nameless castle and had begun his rampage.He'd better save some for them!

"..Let's get moving, and try to have a little self-control in there..don't get too excited."Xaldin mumbled to Lexaeus as he extended his right hand forward, opening a portal that would take them to the castle.

"..Hmph."Lexaeus hummed silently from his throat to acknowledge that he had heard Xaldin.Though if anyone should be told to have self-control,it would have to be Saix.Lexaeus stepped forward and stopped in front of the portal."..Let's just get to work." he said before stepping inside.

Xaldin followed closely, knowing that they'd have to watch each others back in enemy territory.Once they had entered in an unknown part of the castle, they began to get to work.

 

Wow.....>_>....that's pretty good. Cranky and annoyed at everything. Although...I kind of wish you would use a different color.

BIC- Xengla just kind of nodded slowly and mumbled a quiet okay as she saw Dustix leave. Arrrrgh......I guess I'll just run around to try and find where the intruders are. She ran out of the room and just started looking everywhere hoping to maybe bump into one of the intruders(for lack of a better word -_-). But then what? She really didn't what she wanted to do after finding one of them. She just wanted to help. Somehow.

 

OoC://You're fine, Sirius. xP
Death->Good. I was afraid you would catch onto Xioimara talking to Xigbar. xP

BiC://
Xioimara opened her eyes at the sound of Xemnas' voice. She wasn't quiet sure if she was back or still behind the enemy's lines. She was trying to remember something, something, something import-"Marluxia...!" She suddenly said after feeling herself be put down onto a table, "Where's Marluxia?" She asked and turned onto her stomach trying to stand up, "Where is he?" Xioimara asked again and bared her teeth starting to growl, her throat felt dry but refused to stop growling. After a short time she stopped, unable to move herself any more, she dropped down on her side. "He's against us." She growled trying to hold back her pain by showing her teeth.

Xigbar nodded at Vexen and did so gently placing Xioimara down, "Roxas is taking care of the guy who did this to her. He was there when we got there." Xigbar said and looked at Xioimara once she started to speak. The more he saw her like this the more he wanted to tear apart Ravix for what he did. "Calm down, kid. We'll find Marluxia and confirm it ourselves. Everything will be okay." Xigbar said, trying to soothe Xioimara, "Don't move or you'll just make your wounds worst." He warned her, well aware she wanted to get at Marluxia at the moment, probably ever since she was taken into the Nameless' haven. "Vexen will take care of you." He said to her. Xigbar glanced at Vexen already knowing that Vexen didn't really want to help, he would probably much rather be researching.
"I will be getting back to Roxas about now." Xigbar said turning back to Xemnas, bid his farewell and a portal opened from behind Xigbar and he left. Coming back to where he had found Xioimara. There were spots of blood every here and there around the battle ground which Ravix and Xioimara had faced off blindly.

Ravix turned to face Roxas. He could tell Roxas hadn't liked what he had done to his companion at all, "You look offended." He bluntly said to Roxas, "Let's face it. That brat deserved it, she shouldn't be finding someone with a gun when she's blind. She's a fighter, I'll give ya' that much but she's a bitch." Ravix added and stopped talking, getting pulled back suddenly. He was turned around facing the same person who had taken Xioimara away, "What? Was she your k-" Ravix suddenly stopped talking, Xigbar had obviously been pissed with Ravix for what he did, and punched him across the face. Ravix dropped down to his knees, his world tilting back and forth, nothing to say, he couldn't think straight at the moment.

Xigbar grabbed Ravix by the collar, "Sorry, Rox. He was just talking on and on and I was getting more and more pissed for what he did to Xio." Xigbar said to Roxas but had his concentration on Ravix, "That bitch can't even stand right now, thanks to you. I'm ready to do the same to you. Along with the other punk who hurt her, Toxyn was his name, I believe." Xigbar threatened towards Ravix, he wasn't paying attention, the first punch was enough for him. "Look me in the eye, assole." Xigbar threatened Ravix.

Ravix brought himself back and narrowed his eyes and glared at Xigbar, "For what it's worth, I will do it again." He said simply and everything suddenly went black for Ravix, he felt like he was gone from reality. He opened his eyes a little, on the floor, he could see the archway Xioimara had hidden herself behind and not far from it was the spot that he had used his gun to beat down Xioimara. He could see the fight again, he swore Xioimara had scared him,
"Stay down!"
He heard Xigbar say to him and Ravix tried to move but the energy was just...gone. He could feel the ground shaking and tried to move again but slowly and surely Ravix's went dark.

OoC://Shet...I had only planned on using Saϊx for like one post... I'm not good at playing him :/
Actin' time.

BiC://
Saϊx turned to face KuaXa, unfazed by him. What else was he to expect? Get through it without a problem? "Good job. You found me." He said in a monotone voice to KuaXa, nodding in his direction. He narrowed his eyes at KuaXa, "Don't get too cocky now." He said calmly to him, seeing that he was pretty pumped up for a fight.

 

Nevermind. Winging it.

BIC- Xengla had been running around but was now walking since she was slightly tired. Of course while she did want to help....whoever, this was a perfect opportunity to sightsee and tour this place. When she rounded another corner, she immediately went back and placed herself as flat as she could on the wall as she cautiously poked her head out to watch. There, in the hallway, seemed to be a fight. And currently one guy was down. Oh no! I....I should fire a fireball to that old guy. And see what happens next. Man....can I pull this off? Hmmm...it might burn him.....maybe I shouldn't...oh....but he's in trouble....oh screw it. All or nothing. Xengla made a palm sized fireball and threw it at Xigbar's back. She then plastered herself against the wall again and hoped he would go right past her or something.

 

OOC: Has Toxyn recovered from the shock? xD I have to leave my Lar-Lar out for now.

And aw, I wanted Roxas to fight :P.

"Xigbar does have a point. What you said was already suspected and confirmed recently, actually," Xemnas provided in pure calm to its core, knowing the girl will be alright soon with Vexen's healers, ointments, and medicine. However, that someone will go this far to torture one of his members was not exactly something he was quite pleased with. If it weren't for the delays that occurred, then perhaps they could've gotten to Xioimara sooner to prevent more of it happening. Thinking in silence for a minute or so, pondering what the next step will be against their new adversaries, he glanced back to Zexion, thinking he should reveal what are they to do. "Do you remember, Zexion, about what we discussed about your usage of Illusion, and what I have in mind? It's for the castle. We should use it to make it invisible, and as with the creator, and with the power of Nothing, I shall perform my own effort by making it undetected to any creatures with any type of senses, as well as being unable to locate it. Since you can't just stand here, and hold the Illusion forever, I have remembered a certain machine that can make it perhaps permanent with the use of your energy, if you will permit it."

Though, his tone made it appear like if he truthfully did not have a choice in the matter. He turned to the other scientist, knowing that if he is busy, he could listen to what he was saying. "The machine is where you come in, Vexen. I do believe you had said you were working on it by yourself now."

"A person with a gun shouldn't attack or torture a blind person in the first place when she doesn't even belong here, so that makes you a low piece of unwanted waste that should be rid of. What you really deserve is my Keyblade to break your face," Roxas growled threateningly, about to head him on and do just that, before suddenly Xigbar had broken in between them and delivered a punch. The blond boy stopped his running as he watched with widen eyes Xigbar physically fighting someone else, and he didn't expect such a thing as well of him coming back. Usually, they use weapons and their abilities, and he had never seen his senior act this way before. Xioimara was a important person to him, however. Of course, he had heard cursing before, he just didn't use them. Though, he had to admit to himself, that he at times let them slip. But, it wasn't to that point either. He was surprised he didn't with this Ravix, that was his name. The very name shook him with anger still as he gripped his Keyblades. He truthfully wanted to take it out on certain things as well, and he frowned slightly in disappointed when Xigbar had finally knocked him out.

Despite this, Roxas stepped up to the now fainted figure, and his partner, standing beside them as he eyed the man on the floor with dislike. In a second, he had dug the pointy end of his Oblivion near his neck as a loud clink someone penetrated the room, the move only managing to rip a small cloth of his Organization uniform near the shoulder. Roxas didn't have it in him to really do it, and he wouldn't have done what he did either now if he wasn't positive that he had good aim. "Lucky. I'm still going to get him one day. Along with this Toxyn. Hey...you think if we take him back with us...?"

 

Within a matter of minutes, the dancer had located Xemnas in Vexen's lab and wanted to speak to him of what his master ordered as it waited patiently for the discussion to end between Xemnas and Vexen about Xioimara. The dancer tapped it's long angular curved feet as it looked like a cross between a grim rag doll creature that seemed to be the only femine lower servants of Organization XIII particually Demyx for the dancers were his slaves that mainly obeyed him out of any nobody in the organization unless it was Xemnas for the boss was always the top priority. The dancer looked at the dusk that also swayed it's body and kicked it knowing it was higher than the dusk.


Demyx wandered into the room, concealed by the shadows that were hovering about from the vases and the bright light that reflected off the walls and onto the ground. His eyes were not used to this bright light for he lived in the Wolrd That Never Was that was also covered in darkness except for the glow of the heart shaped moon that represented Kingdom Hearts. Peering, around the corner he saw that the coast was clear as he tiptoed into another room making his way furthur in the castle and towards the higher floors. The more he stepped through the doors and walked past the corridors, the more he frowned to himself as the decorations were of a floral design. "Yep," he said softly to himself as he observed the craftsmanship of the interior, "Marluxia should of been a girl. I'm surprised everything is not pink with roses everywhere and it's a good thing that I'm not walking on flower pedals because that would really suck," he entered the massive white doors that led to the higher sanctity of Marluxia's lair. "He must be around here somewhere and not just him, but Larxene is present, Axel is close by and another one is here most likely Toxyn," his keen senses of a nobody gave their auroas away. "But why did Marluxia come here rather than the castle? He must be up to something," he disappeared out of the room he was presently in, then reappeared inside the room, but in a closet concealed by the darkness. "Now I'll just wait for when the time is right to make my move," he peered through the keyhole of the door as he could see the ones in the room including the damp Larxene that made him chuckle to himself for seeing her wet for the second time today.

 

Axel halted as he had felt another presence in the room and then slowly the auroa had vanished a few seconds ago. The red head cocked his eyebrow interest as he made his way to the crystal orb a bit curious of whose power that he sensed before he had come into this room. His instincts were telling him it was an organization member, but which one? He viewed the crystal ball noticing that it was the one who he had told to go back home.

"God damn you Demyx! You are going to get me in major trouble where the consequences will be so severe that I will probably be humilated or punished for a week if not transformed into a pesky dusk. Who knows what you will get, probably more severe that I can imagine, but this is not going to help keep you in good terms with the supeior at all," He slammed his fist on the crystal orb and luckily it did not crack, as Axel wasn't even in the mood to spy on the other individuals in Castle Oblivion, but more content on beating Demyx to a bloody pulp, for he had disobeyed him. The rage was circulating through his body making him temporary forget about the pain in his ribs from KuaXA's monsters' cheap attacks when he was straggled by them.

"You better have a good explanation for defying me! If you do, I may go easy on you." He gritted his teeth trying not to lose his temper. Thinking to himself in order to not miss any valuable information he had summoned one of his assassin to survey the castle as Axel was determined to find Marluxia. "I think I know where Flower boy is at," He disappeared in Marluxia's room eying the door suspiociously as he knew that Demyx was in the closet for they had a strong connection as supeiror and underling. He then turned his focus on the others in the room.

"So," he casually said to Marluxia, "Am I interrupting something?" He smirked laughing darkly as he was eyeing the wet rat Larxene on the bed. "You look good all wet. Like a stinky sewer rat. What? Is this the second time you have gotten wet today? The first time you deserved it for you had it coming and I am proud of what Demyx did to you. He is following my example after all, just in his own unique way." He smirked sinisterly as he turned his eyes towards her, but kept his guard up as he knew that Toxyn was in the room also.

 

Marluxia glared at Axel, "well well...the flamer decided to show no manners...seems the people who supposed are my comrades have no manners as well..." he said swinging the scythe and pointing it at Axel. "I wonder how the superior would react to hearing that you have barged into someone else's room...or have you forgotten the punishment that Demyx received...."

He rubbed his temples from under his hood, before raising it and glaring around, "pathetic...you are a bigger fool than Demyx...I will laugh with emotion when I find he banishes your pitiful existence for disobeying him..." he said before conjuring a rare plant not seen by many. "Vexen thinks he has all the medicines and cures in the world...where do you think he gets some of the herbal ingredients from..." he said placing a leaf in Larxene's mouth.

He softly whispered to her, "chew..and swallow...give it a few minutes and your muscles should start to relax..." he said before resuming his composure. "What...still here?" he said shaking his head, "you really are lacking in common sense now aren't you boy..." More than anything he wished to just hack Axel to pieces, all he had ever proved to be was a nuisance. "Better yet...lets see what the superior has to say about this shall we..." he said snapping his fingers.

Out of no where back at the headquarters a pink rose petal fell into Xemnas's hand, before slowly taking form of a note, seeing has he had chosen to avoid using lesser nobodies. He tightened the grip on his scythe before whispering, "won't be long now...it has been a while since he has seen the castle..."

 

Larxene rolled her eyes, and she turned to Marluxia and somewhat, at Toxyn, a bemused smirk in her face at Axel's chosen entrance. It seems he was well now. She already regretted to let him be taken care of by that female fire wielder, let alone get him there, if this was all she was going to get for it. This should be a proper and liable reason why she didn't help anyone, and a good example of what she can get from performing a actual good deed. So, why do them? That was her point. Axel didn't deserve it. This wasn't going to stop her from countering him, however. His insults were petty, and unprovoked, yet she wasn't going to sit there and be seen as if she was going to take it. She didn't even say anything, and she was already being insulted, in the same manner Demyx had welcomed himself spitefully into her room and attacked her, even when Xemnas had ended and solved the first argument. And you take all that, and it was her fault in the end? That was complete and utter bull. And she'll damn let them know it. As she opened her mouth to deliver what would probably set everything off, Marluxia got there before her, which kind of startled her a little. As she looked at him from her position of laying down in the bed, she stayed quiet, like she had been when he was speaking to Toxyn. Despite that he was handling the situation, something in her stomach would not let what Axel said go, and she needed, to provide him with some words of her own, but before she could even do that, Marluxia focused on her and gave her a leaf, straight to her mouth, without her consent. From what she got this was a herbal ingredient, and as she followed the instructions he said, not sure about eating a plant like this, she began to chew, holding her breath at the taste. And by God...was it horrible. Her lips curled disgustingly as her whole face turned into a grimace, almost as if she was to throw a tantrum and cry at the same time as she held herself from choking. This was terrible. She tried very hard not to whine, or cry out as she kept biting it, not breathing, until she swallowed the whole thing. It was there that she decided to say something to her friend, smacking her mouth to get the excruciating and painful flavor out of her mouth, her eyes kind moist while she felt a bit sick. "Geez, Marluxia, what the hell was that...?"

Her expression had relaxed and become less tense, but it didn't stop the after effect that leaf left her in. When she heard that Marluxia had given some notice to Xemnas, that also provided another surprise. As her limbs were starting to loosen their stiffness rapidly, eating that leaf making it worth it, she played out to the rest here, "You see this? This, is the good example of what I have to deal with. Look, at how I didn't start the obvious insults, while I was calmly laying in bed. I'm not the one being the little, ignorant bitch here. I was insulted, yes, repeated again, just for everyone to see, and now I will answer to such because idiots that do this always expect some kind of response, and that's what they are going to get. You asked for it, Axel. " She then eyed the redheaded man blankly and calmly with a sugar-coated smile after presenting her demonstration on why she wasn't at fault for Demyx barging into her room after Xemnas solved the first problem, that needed to end there, and why now of Axel having to snark at her for no damn reason. "And it's no wonder, then, that Demyx doesn't blame his own actions, considering he has a indescribable waste of a prick as his role model to follow through. And of course you would be 'proud' of Demyx. You might as well go to the next room and brainwash each other senseless by drooling with your mouths the way you two have been going at it."

As he awaited the answers from both the researches, he took in a breath, that must've been tired, when he witness another lower Nobody, this time a Dancer, come to his attention. Sighing, he let out a motion in his hand for the Dancer to explain the message, and as he kept quiet, he shook his head. So, Axel was better now, he hypothesized, perhaps by that Organization girl Larxene had left him with? At least, that's what he connected from Larxene's message to this one where the redhead recovered. He didn't bother to ask where Demyx himself was, as only a few more seconds later, a familiar cherry blossom petal floated and twirled down. Not certain what Marluxia was up to now, he held it curiously and it transformed into a note, which he read without much reaction, not knowing Marluxia was capable of doing this. As he finished, and he placed it somewhere, he gave a breath again. What, in the worlds, he thought deeply at the multitude of messages he was getting from different members, all basically being the same thing, minus some minor new info and with the exception of Marluxia's, was going on?

It was providing him with a headache, and with things to do on top of taking care of, once more, trivial matters, he eyed the two present with a sort of gleam. "It seems I have other things to take care of. I'll be back shortly, if you'll excuse me. I have to go and scold children again, it seems. It will give you time, Vexen, to help Xioimara peacefully." He couldn't believe these were actually grown men, and a woman, having problems this way. He had expected that his Organization were more mature than this, but as time, and time went by, that notion was slowly being dismissed. It was almost like he was a father, rather than a leader, and that role was not his job. As he had made himself portal, and materialized within the white and pale walls of Castle Oblivion, and in the room were they were gathering, he was met with many situations. He raised a eyebrow silently as he was watching Larxene do her mocking presentation, or introduction, and then, along with it, insult...or better put, insult back, apparently, at Axel, for whatever he said. He got a good idea from the note Marluxia had sent, nevertheless. Then, he had sensed Demyx hiding in the closet, for whatever reason there is to be for that to make any sense to him. He did not predict what Axel was going to do after Larxene returned some certain..."bite", and overall, there was a strange man, that of the Nameless Organization, beside him.

But all this just made him want to return to the lab, and ignore what was occurring before him.

Unfortunately, he was the Superior, and thus, had to deal with the "kids". As he glanced around them all, his expression less than pleasant, with dark essence protruding to each and everyone of them with a fatal glare, especially as Larxene noticed his presence, and closed her mouth, certain that he had heard her, he just stated in a low, serious, and dangerous voice that changed the whole atmosphere of the room to a thick tension at the emotionless and full coldness of each syllable, "I have been going through a amount of news delivered by lower Nobodies constantly, the same thing being said, over, and over. I hope you all have a good reason for beginning and starting things after the events that should have made you learn a lesson, if Number Nine and Twelve were any samples, for me not to turn you all into Dusks, and keep you in the dungeon for weeks, no matter what you have done or your excuses for them. One will speak at a time. I don't want to listen to two people chattering to me loudly at the same time, or both will be punished. I would not have anyone to raise their voice or retort back at me, as some have been doing lately, or you'll be punished severely. My patience is broken, I won't stand for anything anymore, and with one false move or word, you will all be joining Oblivion in the way this castle's name bears true without a second thought or chance. You are lucky I do not commit this now. Your immaturity is wasting my time, and I do not like my time being wasted of my members acting with such low mentality. Do you understand?"

His icy stare glanced to the door. "Number Nine, I suggest you come out quietly and without a sound if you want to live by this point."

 

Xengla's were wide open in shock. Take him back with them? What're they going to do to him? Gargh....I guess that wasn't that great of a distraction....this should catch their attention. She calmed down a bit and slowly peeked around the corner again. She could seal off the hallway. Xengla lifted her arm a little bit and then brought it down quickly and immediately 2 large walls of fire surrounded the little area that Roxas, Xigbar and Ravix were in. Now, she waited to see what they would do.

 

Keeping to himself and trying to be as quiet as a mouse, Demyx was grinning from the remarks Axel had spoken to Larxene. It was humorous to say in the least, until Larxene had opened her big mouth and spat out some vulgar remark that made Demyx laugh and growl in his throat, his teeth clenched. "HOW DARE SHE..." his tone was deeper that usual as he had wanted to burst out of the closet and give here what she deserved which would of been a blast of water within her body and the worst possible migraine he could ever send to her with his repeative playing of his sitar numerous times until her ears would bleed and she would have a slight hearing loss. She rightfully derserved that or her tongue ripped out of her mouth for she could never speak again, but then his anger passed aside for if he he had done that, he would prove to be no better than her and that was one thing he refused to be.

"No... I refuse to be like her. That didn't get me anywhere. She nearly killed me." Besides, if her tongue was ripped out, he would never get to feel the sensation of it upon his cheek or in his mouth as he imagined her being with him in his dreams day or night at times. She was so attractive and he loved how feisty she was, and he admired how she stood up for herself against the men in the organization. He had to give her credit for that, but he was not going to let her push him around unless he was in the mood for it and he would humor her, pretending to play dumb to see what she was capable of. His letter to her had not worked and now he had to think of another way for her to get to notice him which was not going to be an easy task, but he was determined to at least earn her friendship and then go to the next level when he and her were ready of course. He was about to reveal himself when he felt the presence of another member whom happened to be the Superior. "Damn... I hope he doesn't find me," his teeth began to chatter for that was the last nobody he wanted to discover where he was. Barely being able to swallow and holding his breath still, he listened to the ominous warning and promise that Xemnas was addressing to Marluxia, Axel, and Larxene. He thanked his lucky stars he was not starring into those orange glowing eyes of doom like the others were.

"Damn it, I'm doomed." His breath stopped when he suddendly heard his name being called and he had wanted to cry knowing this could be the end for he was in so much trouble for running away and not returning back to the castle, but what choice did he have? He was fearing for his very extistence and had wanted to be out of harm's way. He felt he didn't belong in the organization because he thought differently and was the fool everyone perceived him to be. Cringing from the tears that blurred his vision, he thought of disappearing, but that would get him maimed or even killed if he dare commit that. He removed his hood knowing he had been caught so what was the point of hiding his face? He had to face the music and own up to the consequences.

Pulling away from the door, he curled himself up in a tight ball holding his arms and legs close together shivering in fear. How did Xemnas find out where he was? "It must of been a sign that one of the members sent to him," he remembered Marluxia snapping his fingers. Marluxia had this annoying way of pissing people off with his arrogance that was enough to make the musician gag. Another one of his plans had failed once more. "I can't seem to do anything right?" he scolded himself as his right hand slowly grasped the white closet door, sliding it slowly that it seemed like an enternity for it to open. Standing up quietly he placed his right hand to his eyes, squinting from the bright light that shone in the room and removed it from his face once his eyes adjusted. Stepping from the safety of his santuary, he starred at the others in the room not saying a sound, his footsteps only being heard as he emerged from it, sliding the closet door behind him until it closed. Keeping his eyes on Xemnas and only Xemnas, he was transfixed with fear as he backed away taking baby steps until his back hit the railing of the bed, Larxene was on. His back ached from the impact and he let out a hiss of pain through his teeth not once dropping his gaze with Xemnas's deadly stare. Swallowing hard as if he had a lump in his throat, he slightly opened his mouth and spoke that above a whisper. "I can explain."

 

Vexen stood by and listened to all of what was being said around him.Xemnas,the Superior of them all, had begun going over a plan to use Zexion's Illusion powers with his intellect to create a machine to hold those powers, enough to keep the Castle in a sort of stealth mode.

It was genius, even Vexen had to admit it, despite him not coming up with it.

His progress with that machine was nearly completed, and he had made sure to begin construction of it in the dark corridors of the castle, where few ever went for any reason.He enjoyed working on it, but the only problem for Xemnas was that it was not yet done.He still needed time on it for it to truly be effective for everyone in the Organization.

"Yes, I've been re-looking over my schematics--" his voice died down once the Dancer had arrived, and kept silent still as a note had come to him, clearly from Marluxia..who else used flowers to send notes?

Once he was done with both reports, Vexen opted to speak once more and inform the Superior of his progress.But, of course, the others hindered him from doing so.What the hell was with these non-founders?Marluxia,Axel,Larxene..all of them were rebels,and he saw right through them.Idiots..all of them.

"Very Well." he mumbled as Xemnas left, leaving him in charge of healing Xioimara.My God..can't anyone in this organization go outside of the castle without getting wounded,anyone!?This was holding him back from critical work, and instead of desired things to be researched or machines to be built,he had to take care of some girl who spent most of her time as a wolf.Just because he was a genius did not mean he would be babysitting everytime someone got in trouble...this was growing irritating.

Finding no way out of this, Vexen shook his head and sighed as he went toward his main research desk, looking up at the cabinets just above him that held all kinds of supplies,vials,medicines, and things no one would have imagined he would have.He traced his finger along a few vials until he found one filled with a green liquid.He pulled it from its holding case and looked over toward Xioimara as he pulled the cork from the lid.

He examined it closely for a moment before stepping toward the wolf girl, reaching out and slipping his right hand under her face, lifting it up slightly so she could drink the mysterious liquid properly."This liquid will send shivers throughout your body, but it'll give you a sense of warm relief once it's effect takes place.You'll feel better a few minutes afterward, and your pain will cease once it finds the sources of pain." it seemed as if he was done, but he hesitated, remembering how hard-headed children were."And I must warn you..any strenuous activity soon after drinking this will bring the pain back if you aren't careful.This is meant to heal over time, not heal instantly.I hope you understand that before running off again." he poured the green liquid down her mouth, knowing the reaction could be either good or bad.He himself had never tasted it, but he smelled peppermint after creating it.

 

Toxyn grinned when he saw Axel appeared in the room. "Boy oh boy, isn't this a surprise" he said when he looked at Axel. "Tell me, how is Demyx. Still roughed up after the encounter with the monster obsesser?" he asked him, basicly refering to KuaXa of course. "Of course, then again, it seemed as if you were more roughed up then him..." he said to axel, chuckling

 

Larxene had laid still after she had discovered Xemnas's appearance, which she didn't sense because of her focus on what she was saying, and the fact that she was quite angered. But even as motion was coming into her body, and she could almost easily move her arms and legs, however, still a bit rigid, the air had truly changed once more. It was that tension she had felt in her room when she and Xemnas had their own private confrontation, and while she was aware that he couldn't be really "enraged", this was the equivalent of it. Like a silent fury. For one thing, she did not know that after she delivered her own message by Dusk, that others would soon follow. She didn't even have to guess at who were the culprits either, considering that they were the only ones who critically thought ill of her, minus the fact that Demyx had come to explain himself by letter, didn't have faith in her, as well as not thinking of her as much to trust her that she wouldn't do something immoral, or that she had sent a note that spoke about them negatively, or completely ignore their part in the fight. Or something that made them perform the act. That, and Xemnas will not have said the remark he did if it was only her he was complaining about. She also didn't know where this was going, especially when he had listened to her...interesting answer to Axel, but, he will notice that she was only responding back to another insult directed at her, right?

Thinking about it as she behaved in the soaked mattress, knowing that Xemnas will keep true to his promise if one spoke out, she just watched as he cornered Demyx, and it didn't really surprise her that he was inside that closet. She could have sworn there was a rift in the air because of a portal opening before, but she didn't know specifically who. She was still freezing in her wet garments, but she had now controlled her shivering and shuddering to some extent as to not catch attention to herself as Demyx stepped out, looking like he was about to see the last few seconds of his life before his eyes. And well, it's not like he couldn't be blamed, really, the way Xemnas trailed his orange eyes at him with such a look. It was amazing to her the way everything was soundless and noiseless, and you could only hear the creak of the sliding door, and the slow, unsure, and frightened, footsteps of the ninth member. Larxene was not certain how this was going to end up, and she raised her eyebrows when she felt Demyx hit the railings of Marluxia's bed close to her. You almost would've felt sorry for him, in a way, and that was as much as she was going to say on that until his ultimate fate is announced to them all. She glanced up at him for a second, but reverted her focus back to the ceiling, just...awaiting.

"I'm sure you are going to explain fine, Number Nine. All in due time," Xemnas replied in that same clipped tone of icy shards, not once losing his demeanor and presence that could leave everyone else wondering what he meant by that with his empty tone. His eyes shifted slightly to the side to the Nameless Organization member, and he did not hesitate when black and white familiar thorns suddenly popped out, summoned by him out of what seemed to be a large metallic and pale void that was different than any portal. Many and many of them, wrapping around tightly and hard around the the man who closely resembled him in some way, closely covering his body whole. It was done so quickly, that before he could even predict, he was sent backwards trapped and into the new zone that had appeared on the wall, the vines taking him with them as he disappeared within it. The hole swooshed close as fast as when it expanded, and Xemnas knew that this unknown member was taken to a trapped, four-walled, complete white, cell that was his own creation, resembling that of rooms in a asylum, with the exception of the pads. It was there he was to confirm that the man...he was certain was Toxyn, by the way he looked from what Larxene described, would not portal in any possible way, and his control swept away from him. He would want to talk to him later personally after he dealt with most of the troubles and interruptions he was facing. Nonetheless, that wouldn't happen if he let him escape, hence, the action.

Acting as if he just did not made somebody vanish by him, he circled to his rightful members quite maliciously, the darkness radiating off just like it had the moment he had come in. "First, before I raise question to other complications, I would like the answer of why I keep getting lower Nobodies for countless messages that are just repeated from each of you while I'm busy and had to attend to other important matters. One explanation at a time. Number Twelve, you're first."

Larxene, hiding that she was a little startled that she was called upon, carefully went to sit up, hoping that she was able to after the few minutes that had passed, and she inwardly sighed in relief as she made her back upright, able to be placed in a siting position. She couldn't talk normally as she would have in other cases, because she did follow Xemnas's threat true, and with him belittling them by their number, his "anger" was yet to be quelled. "Well, Superior, as you know you had assigned me to figure out some of the Nameless Organization's powers and abilities, and also to prove myself to you after our last...conversation. As you can see, I sent you the message early because if the Dusk did tell you things properly, I said that my reason for this was because you can maybe find it useful after I described the whole battle in that world along with the information. I would think you were perceptive enough to maybe get it, and, from what we've heard from Toxyn as he was previously here, I suppose everyone succeeded in getting Xioimara back." She took a unappreciative side stare to the other two, Axel and Demyx. "As for why you got other messages, that's for them to answer, because they didn't trust me to maybe explain everything that occurred, including them. I didn't know about it."

And that was it. She didn't continue after that, it wasn't like she needed to.

Xemnas just gave a stern nod, not forming any exact expression. "And you did a astounding, job, Number Twelve. Yes, we did succeed, Xioimara, while hurt, is back with us safely, so I do thank your quick thinking. In fact, I had believed that next time I will see you all, it will be to praise your work. It turns out this wasn't the case." He rounded on Axel. "You, Number Eight? Was it that you did not trust Larxene as your reason to sent me another?"


OOC: I will get to Roxie soon :P. I concentrate so much on certain factors, that I forget that I have other characters that need to move ^^;.

 

(OOC: I had to edit my post before I could submit it because you posted first *TwilightNight* The first paragraphs are before Xemnas comes not while he is there.)

Axel looked at Marluxia as if he was a low life piece of aggroant dirt and swine covered in his own filth. He was not imitated by his poor choice of a weapon that made the graceful assasin more sissy than masucline. He was just trying to be friendly, but with Marluxia's vulgar remark he had taken it personal.

"Flamer? How the hell does that reply to me? What about you, pediphile who hangs out with Namine all alone in this castle doing god who knows what?" He sneered at the pink flower petal turned upside down water hose sythe with digust as he flatly slapped it away from him nearly out of the flower grower's hand. He glared at the flower lover as it seemed at the look of things that he was either going to do battle with someone or just use the flame dancer as a target in hope to intidimate him which was not going to work. "You were the one who was supposed to come back to the other castle not this empty one. You are just making yourself more suspicious with your loyalty to this organization than the last time when Larxene was forced to bring your rose ass back when we were holding a meeting."

Axel had shook his side to the side not believing how girly this nobody was especially when he was boring him to death about his plants and flowers."Oh? Is that so?" He placed one hand on his hips in a sardontically manner. Axel was ready to burn the whole room, but resisted for now.
"Do you fertilize them yourself? After all you are obsessed with mother nature are you not? Imagine it Larxene, that leaf that you just consumed could have come out of his special garden. I noticed that he didn't even rinse it off with water for you. How digusting. Don't be surprised if you get an upset stomach later from ecoli. You wouldn't be the first," he snickered to himself. He would leave her with that last remark so she could think about it carefully long and hard before ever taking anything from Marluxia again.

"You are such a squealer and no one likes a rat," he was referring to the earlier inncident of Marluxia snapping his fingers in the air. "I bet you sent the boss a message didn't you? You can't fool me with simply snapping and expecting me to believe that it was out of habit. What do you take me for?"" He eyed how Larxene was seated in the bed and her hair was a complete mess. Seeing this made him say something without thinking.So what was going on here Marluxia? Why is she in the bed and in front of Toxyn? Is this what I hope it's not going to be? Geez you both have lost your class if what I say is true," his wandered to Toxyn to see what his expression would be and then he focused his next remark to the vile woman.

"Oh Larxene you always have to play the poor defenseless victim don't you? You are acting like Demyx whether you see or not? Whining and complaining to Marluxia like Demyx would whine and complain to me. You see the similarties? I bet that makes your blood boil," he walked over to the bed and set the end of the covers ablaze. "Now you'll be really hot under the collar if you know what I mean. I was going to let you off for your first remark, but that crap about what you said about Demyx and I was not called for and so now you have the pay the price. This is what happens when you open that venomous mouth of yours *****!" Axel touched her shoulder and relayed a burning sensation to her body that was only noticeable to her. "Be careful of what you say or you will be scarred permantly."

Axel was savoring the moment until out of no where Xemnas came forth and sent forth an errie feeling in the room. "You are so predicatable Marluxia," Axel uttered before Xemnas spoke and gave everyone in the room a deadly glare. Blinking his eyes, he cringed at how the Superior was addressing the situation especially when he gave an ultamatium to Demyx who now had come out of the closet and was scared to death. "Oh no. This is only going to get worse and in front of Toxyn too, but I know how to deal with him." Axel knew Demyx was to scared to explain his side right now so he took the control and recited his explanation with respect.

"Superior, I was only keeping an eye on Marluxia who knew that Larxene was hurt, but instead of returning to our castle and having Vexen aide her, he decided to take matters into his own hands which he has been doing recently without your consent. As for Larxene, she nearly got herself killed because she wanted to take control of the battle herself which was very foolish. I had everything under control, until KuaXa sent forth the element that I dispise the most and that's how I lost. He relied on his dumb pets to help him out. So surprisely I was rescued by Larxene and I thought she would never do such a thing because she is so selfish and hates my guts, but then her strength of holding me up was failing her. Demyx intervened to save us both, but that was in vain because he was getting weak. Larxene after her lightning show to the beasts was going to die if Marluxia didn't rescue her and only her when I was the one who was weaker and Demyx had some blade to his throat by Xelic. I'm the one that could of died first and it just goes to show Marluxia can not be trusted for every member has to be able to depend on one of another when the other is in trouble. We're supposed to work as a team, not against each other," his gaze hardend as he starred at Marluxia.

Sighing he addressed the one called Toxyn before Xemnas dealt with him."Demyx is fine and that was to easy for him anyway. He didn't even show his full potential of what he really can do. You would go deaf if you witnessed his true talent" He took one step towards Toxyn and placed his arm close to him. "He's a survivor like me and don't be concerned about my condition. I've had worse,"

Axel had listened to Larxene's side of the story and he scoffed to himself that Xemnas was believing every word she said. With his head raised up high, he spoke calmly making sure his voice was heard. "As you know Superior, Larxene has a habit of taking the credit for her doings in order to please you. I sent forth a dusk to you so that you would get all the infomation that was not left out, because being the selfish nobody she is she would only reveal what she wanted you to know and I wanted you to know the whole truth including all of the facts and which members were involved that fought so valiantly. Larxene had a lot of help and she has to learn that she can't do everything herself. I appreciate her thinking of trying to save me with having the other fire wielder from the nameless organization give me the fire source I needed, but I bet she now regrets it and if it had been another member let's say Demyx perhaps you would of let him die. This is why I don't trust her. If she can't learn to trust us all as partners and not follow Marluxia's example then what good is she in this organization?" he folded his arms, resting them against his chest.

 

ooc: you should read twilights post. Its sorta impossible to shove my char out the door right now mage sister 2 >.>

 

OOC: She already edited that, I think [she might have replied without being aware of the other posts, which can happen]. I don't even know what to do with the Larxene and fire thing considering she would've noticed in the last post since is around there, and we have to keep with the time line. I don't know hot to make it seem like Axel did that with everything going on...

In other words, I don't know what to do.

But, I know what to do with Roxas.

Roxas was waiting Xigbar's answer for the idea, wondering if he was thinking around the same lines, but as he gave one simple blink, they were rapidly then surrounded by two walls of fire, the flames rising to the ceiling as they swiveled and flickered around them both, crackling sounds of the blaze resonating quietly. His instincts, because of the many spars he and Axel have, had gone to his best friend, but then that notion left as soon as it came when he knew Axel wouldn't have a reason to block them. Obviously. The heat creeped up his skin, and his eyes, used to this attack most of all, shifted around for the culprit who had the element of his redheaded companion. It wasn't hurting anyone at the precise second, so he didn't need to act, but he did finally spot a figure, and kept his concentration on it. If his vision wasn't playing tricks on him, it appeared as a female silhouette...
