Dustix grinned. "At the moment, we are recruting new bases. At the moment though, that is not important. What is important is one thing and one thing only at the moment. I need you to tell me what you know of the person that destroyed my mirror" Dustix asked her, though his tone was still soft, as usual.

 

"First, excellent job on the work, Vexen. Second, Zexion, are you aware of what you must do now?" Xemnas asked the Cloaked Schemer quietly, getting into the cause of their meeting the moment everyone had left the lab, and the three were left alone. And for the first time, he was able to concentrate on what truly mattered at the moment, and go forward to what was to be accomplished and what was waiting to be carried out. He headed towards Vexen, gesturing for Zexion to come over as well with a nod of the head, needing to make certain that he had remembered the instructions he had previously set out for him to do.



Roxas walked down the hall somewhat dejectedly, Axel going somewhere else, as well as Xioimara, and now, he was alone, with nothing to do and no one to be with. Some hope that was of catching up with his "best friend". The castle was a bore when there was no one there to share it with, and even then, it was still dull. He had the idea of heading to Twilight Town by himself, but had noted that they wouldn't, or rather, couldn't, really, leave headquarters at this time. And so he had simply resorted to just exploring some of the venues and passages of the place he would call "home", despite that it did not have the warmth and feel as one. Everything was cold and empty here. He didn't have the pleasure to really study his surroundings when he had first joined as the XIIIth, and what this building held within, considering it was rather big. As a castle would be. And so he trotted on forward, humming a melody as it echoed throughout the silent walls. However long he lasted that way, he had discovered he was on the lower floors in his recent check up, and had found his way to where all the bedrooms were held, the doors marked with their Roman Numerals, as well as having a projectile of their weapons above each door in a orb. It started from the right with "II" for the even numbers, and in the left with the odds, as they all were situated in a linear order, a considerable length apart between each doorway. Xemnas did not have one here. He never did. No one really knew where he slept, really. Unless you actualy investigated, but Roxas wasn't in the mood for spy games, and honestly, he didn't really care. It will all end up being unsatisfying. Xigbar was the one who found enjoyment of treading things he shouldn't be.

In defeat, he had strolled with the destination of his room in mind, not knowing what else he could do, and as he reached Demyx's, he automatically paused in front of his door, intently studying the surface and the member that may be inside. The musician hadn't looked that well when he had portalled out of the lab, and Roxas was being reminded of the concern that had yet to perish for the companion at hand. He did wonder whether he was really okay, and alright. Just to ease him. He hesitated, debating if he should bother him now. He could be wanting to be alone. Perhaps no company. But the more he thought about it, what Demyx could need was just someone to talk to, hear him out, and have someone to listen to him, for once. And he was willing to offer his assistance, if he desired such. He might be a "little kid", but he had a more mature comprehension than most.

And for what it was worth, he can give it a try.

And that's why he ended up knocking three times, not barging in out of courtesy, and just loud for him to hear as he unsurely called, "Demyx?"



One minute, Larxene was aware that she was about to pounce on Xeltic in her full on savagery, and deliver a unexpected blow, and then the next, her eyes blinked in surprise when it was unceremoniously stopped by vines shooting up from the floor. As she was in mid-way of her attack, she couldn't turn it around as the entrance of the intruding plants cut her off-guard, and she was inevitably wrapped and roped, letting out a hiss of pain when they shackled a little too tightly to her already throbbing bones and muscles, as they were aiming to keep her locked and secured, apparently. As her mouth gaped at this, her head raising up as it was lowered helplessly before, and the tremulous feeling of her onslaught to Xeltic momentarily halted, she only knew one person who was able to do that, and who this belonged to. Shifting her now back to normal blue eyes to the newcomer, she glanced at Marluxia warily, looking at her with some mixture of emotions that she didn't think she deserved. Did he even know what that man had done to her? Why was he gettingin the way? Why? The very fact just incinerated and ignited her anger once more, that had snuff out when she was cut back by someone stepping in, yet now, it was returning fully loaded. Not like it ever left. Glaring heavily at the pink haired man for ruining her moment to get Xeltic back for invading her body, the more the thought processed, the more fired she got, until she tussled relentlessly, twisting her wrists, arms, and hands, all her limbs, attempting to find freedom out of her predicament as she struggled against her bonds fiercely, grunting and snarling in a vicious manner that foretold that if she did manage to get out, poor is he who was in front of her when that occurred. She detested being held. Xemnas had done it, first gripping her with thorns, and then knocking her out. She did not say anything merely because she knew when not to be out of line, and with the Superior, for your sake, you could not be out of line. But then Marluxia was following his footsteps? They have enough of a spat right now, and he was just adding salt to the wound between them both, and by this point, she was blaring, and exerting her element of lightning among the stems, wanting to break them off. She gave huff of frustration as she directed a bestial stare at the scythe wielding man, "MARLUXIA! LET ME GO NOW!"

It was a demand more than anything, she even went ahead to strike a bolt of ligthning at him in the process, her mind not exactly in the state to make peace when she had a target to yet kill. However, she didn't note the pores that were surrounding her, and when it was finally taking its effect, it was too late when she slightly dazed in realization at what he was actually going to do to her. This made her combat the vines more in desperation, yet, she didn't possess the same strength as her body was shutting down with the polluted air, and her mind was getting clouded and woozy, her vision hazing as she was, without her consent, calming down to prepare to rest. She still fought as best she could, shaking her head to get her eyes to stay open from the pressure that was placed on her eyelids to close. No, she couldn't Xeltic get away...not now. Damn it all, Marluxia. Damn it. Her breath was slowing, and she forced herself to remain awake for a while, though she knew that by this point it was useless. Gazing at Xeltic with a frown, blinking very rapidly and constantly to keep her eyes open, though they were halfway there on giving up, she inadvertently flipped him the finger as she supported her aching being to one of the larger vines keeping her up, the pores being too much even when she wasn't inhaling them. And as her brain went blank, her mind went black at the same time, seeping into unconsciousness and she truly shut her eyes then, not able to withstand it, no later going into a deep sleep as she let out a long sigh, her body getting what it had wanted for such a while, and not at all rebelling against the turn of events...

This wasn't over, however. Because they will meet again...and she will get him without fail.

 

OOC: guys..machine,in basement..not lab,basement.

"Thank you." Vexen mumbled,taking much pride in his hard work down in the basement below.Though he hoped they could actually get this over with,uninterrupted.And since drama and anger seemed to be going off everywhere,Vexen raised his right arm toward the door to enter.A purple wave of energy went over it, and anyone in the Organization would know that that meant.

Now..they could truly begin.

--

As Xeltic landed, he felt a sudden surge of energy just above him,knowing instantly what it was.He raised his Naginata up high and let the blade take the hit.Xeltic was unarmed..and as for his weapon, it flowed a light blue, having been filled with an intense energy.It slowly faded,however, but perhaps he could use it to his advantage.

But he had to take note to make sure he'd pull a stunt like that when he could actually get away in time.His forearms were on fire and bleeding profusely.His blood just fell to the ground, but though he seemed to be in dire need of a way out, he was still having the time of his life.Now..this was truly a fight.

When she lunged at him,he held his Naginata in front of him and waited for her to get closer.When she had leaped in the air, he bent his knees and prepared to leap up to counter her..but,a guest had arrived and binded her with vines.Marluxia had appeared, but Xeltic wasn't yet ready to quit yet."Just when it was getting interesting..why can't you just not give a damn like--" he paused to look at Larxene closely, seeing her struggling to get out.It was clear she was still mad, but he could also see the fatigue in her struggle..hard to catch, but he caught it..and no,it was before powder was released on her.

This girl was going to die trying to kill him.

Realizing he should actually go and let her get rest, he dismissed his weapon and stood normally."On second thought, I'll take off...and you,get some rest,we're not finished." he nodded at Larxene and backed away,disappearing into a portal and having it close behind him.

He reappeared outside of the castle and began walking off,heading down the road toward the wide plains ahead.He needed a break.


OOC: May have missed some lightning strikes or something,I'll edit later if needed.

 

OOC: Basement of the castle right, I thought I said that, my bad if not.

BIC: He watched Xeltic make his leave, noticing that he had seemed to be rather unharmed, where as Larxene was almost at the point of fading away it seemed. He rubbed his temples shaking his head, so much pointless fighting, however that was just it, to her it wasn't pointless, and he at once took back the thought remembering what the guy had done. He turned back around slowly walking over to her still held up in the vines.

He sighed observing the state she was in, he took off his glove feeling her forehead, and feeling her neck, also feeling her heartbeat and pulse. He grit his teeth at her ability to push herself even to this type of state, "so once again you will find refuge and rest in my bed...this is happening far too much..." he said taking her from the vines in his arms and opening a portal once again to his room.

Upon entering his room he took off her coat for her, setting it on a nearby chair, he needed to cool her down somewhat from the heat radiating off her from the battle. He laid her in his bed and gently laid just one sheet over her, he walked to the bathroom wetting a towel before repeating the gesture of wiping her arms, face, and neck with it. He shook his head finally laying it on her forehead and taking her hand rubbing it slowly hoping to soothe her somewhat.

"What is it that fuels you Larxene...what causes you to drive yourself to such extremes sometimes...this time was understandable..." he said his eyes gently meeting hers closed. "What good is my friend...my partner dead to me...." he said softly gently squeezing her hand.

 

Xaries watched Xeltic, and appeared near the tree she was on. She squinted her eyes on him, then turned to examine the yellow-head and the pink-head. The battle was over, for now. She shook her head dismissed her weapon and jumped off her tree, right in front of Xeltic. She scratched her head, then took off her hood, relieving her brunette hair. She squinted at Xeltic, then turned away, giving a sigh. He knew what that meant. She was disappointed. She walked away, slowly, expecting him to follow her.

It was interesting how Xaries acted at time. She never talks to people she didn't trust, and only people who really examined her, and knew her to an extent, knows that everything she does, means something. Xaries is that quiet person, but everything that comes out of her mouth, is intelligence, and intellect.

Xaries walked to the spot she originally was, were she left her book. She grabbed her book, and sat down and began to read, waiting for Xeltic. She wasn't angry, that's him for you, but that was a stupid move for him to pull. As her eyes traced each word in her Chemistry-inbounded book, she thought of the yellow-haired girl, and the pink-haired guy. She saw the pink-haired guy before, she knew it. But from where? She closed her book, and put her hand on it. It disappeared, into a dark abyss.

Then her eyes landed on Xeltic.

 

Feeling someone approaching,Xeltic stopped in his tracks as the castle was a decent sprint away.The one that appeared in front of him was Xaries, and it was once again obvious,even before her hood had come down.He gave her a small wave, and took notice that the blood was drying up on his forearms."Enjoy the sh--...Xaries?" he watched her walk away for a moment before walking after her.

It was only for fun, and he tried helping Larxene out in a way,though he'd keep that to himself until the next time they met.

Once Xaries stopped and began reading her book, he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, not understanding what the big deal was.He stepped closer and knelt down beside her,nudging her with his shoulder as her eyes fell on him. "Come on,you didn't actually take anything I did back there seriously,did you?" he asked

 

She looked at his face, then his shoulder. She then took her hand, wrapped it in a fist, and punched him in his arm. "You aren't really bright, are you?" she asked, the first sentence she said to anyone, in a while. "That stunt you pulled, could have killed you? Do you know that? She is powerful and you just had to go and use the situation as a time to use your pervy mind?" she said. She wasn't screaming, but she wasn't at ease either. She sighed and held her head with her hand. "I'm not angry with you." she said. "I'm just disappointed." she said, and she looked at the grass.

 

As the punch connected with his arm, he winced as the blow flowed down toward his wounds.Jesus, didn't she see the blood at all?But her comments stung him in a way."Hey!We're all going to die,one way or another..why play by the rules,anyway?" he asked, his voice raised.

Everything went from calm to a bit of anger with her comments.

"She's strong, but I'm more than a match for her.And as for that pervy mind comment, don't get me started.Just because your one of the smartest people around doesn't mean you know what my purpose was,does it?" he finished, standing up and walking a few steps to his side, looking away toward the sky,scowling.

 

She sighed and nodded. "Whatever." she said. She knew it was a bit childish, but she knew that he wouldn't listen. That's just the way he is. She put her hair behind her ear and looked at the grass. Pink-haired man. Who was he? She saw him before, he had, but where. She began to pull the grass from the floor, her way of thinking. She saw him before. She just knew it.

She stared at Xeltic again, waiting for him to look at her. "What was you purpose for kissing yellow-head, anyway?" She said, going over the kiss over and over in her head. She shook her head, trying to make the thoughts leave her head. "What were you trying to gain from it?'

 

"An immense amount of power from her, not to mention the satisfaction of doing what I did when there was no way she could stop it.Girls like her are fun to toy with." Xeltic muttered, his voice growing calmer.He looked around and watched her,folding his arms and trying to ignore the searing pain flying across them.

"Why do you worry so much anyway?..That organization is so unstable and foolish that taking them out would be a snap."

 

"I see." she said and stood up. "Don't think like that." she said suddenly. "The Organization is corrupted, sure, but they are still extremely powerful." Xaries said. "And I wouldn't want to see you, or anyone for that matter, hurt." she said in a calm and smooth tone.

 

"...You've really paid no attention to my bleeding forearms have you?" he asked, eyebrow raised as he questioned her.Just in case, he held them forward for her to see.But..even if the XIII were strong,less than half were worth mentioning,such as Larxene and that Xaldin guy he heard about.But not many more.

"So..since I'm kinda done rebelling for now,heard any orders from the boss..or whatever..?" he asked

 

OOC: My bad. That was me. I just gave it the edit. For the moment, not sure what to do with Larxie. She needs her sleep D:. And I'm guessing Vexen made a portal?

Xemnas did not hesitate as he stepped inside into the portal, truthfully wanting to get it over with as soon as possible before another set of problems rose. Might as well be prepared for whatever may come, things can be unpredictable. Knowing that the rest would follow, he was inside the room in the basement, waiting for the other two to arrive, and for Zexion to do his part in the matter. And now before he forgot, he summoned a Sorcerer, and sent it over to Marluxia witha clear message, as he was in Castle Oblivion, and he was to activate the defenses he had already placed for certain emergencies. All of them. Trust or not, he will do this as a test, as well as the fact that he was there in the building...better to use him.

The only secret base left, and one he could only reveal, had its protection well hidden and protected.

 

OOC: Actually he placed the barrier you get when there's a boss battle or something.No one can enter by any means when its up.But assume he made a portal,sure xD

 

"No.." she said simply and turned around. "But I want to see someone." she said and sighed. "Vexen, I think his name is." she said and opened a portal. "You can come, if you wish." she said and looked back. "But, I really would like you to come." she said, and walked through the portal gracefully, without anymore words. She needed to see this person of Organization 13. He was supposidly the brightest of them all. She needed to find him...and test his brilliance. Then, kill him.

 

Vexen stepped inside as Xemnas did, not wanting any more unneeded whining or complaints.If only Xemnas just turned them all into Dusks,that would end every problem.Once he was inside the basement besides Xemnas, he stepped forward toward his machine and pointed toward the print scanner."Zexion."he said once he was inside."Focus your Illusion power into this, and I can handle the rest."

-

"...." Well,what was he waiting for?Nothing else to do..maybe he'd find some bandages or a potion inside.As for this Vexen character..if Xaries referred to him as 'brilliant',even with sarcasm, then he must be worth going after. But she'd be knee deep in enemy territory, and he'd never forgive himself if he just let her go alone. He stepped inside.

Once he got through, he stood beside Xaries as they both looked up at the castle.Intimidating..but not for him,hell no."All right..let's go!" he said, running along the nearly transparent walkway with all haste.

 

She looked at the transparent bridge, and walked slowly over it. "Oh.." she said and dug in her pocket. "I forgot." she said and ran to Xeltic. "Here." she said, and put a small vail in his hand. "That should clear your wounds nicely." she said. Then, she walked slowly in front of Xeltic. She wasn't worried, she wasn't scared. She needed to see, see if he really was brilliant. If he was...then she can use him. "Don't run fast, or you'll attract attention, and noise." she said, without looking back.

 

Xeltic skid to a stop once Xaries cut in front of him,holding out a vial.He took it without question and held it up to his eyes, moving it around and watching the liquid rustle around in its container.He hoped it tasted good.

And..walk slowly instead of running?God this chick was a genius.He followed behind her and patted her shoulder."Thanks." he said,pulling out the small cork and drinking it in one gulp.He sighed a little and tossed the vial, sure that she had more somewhere.

 

Marluxia raised an eyebrow not turning around until after a moment, "well well...and what could this be..." he said tilting his head slightly noticing the sorcerer. He sighed receiving the relayed message, and rubbing his temples, "very well...tell Xemnas I shall do so here in a moment..." he said waving his hand in a dismissing manner.

He turned looking back at Larxene who appeared to finally be in a somwhat state of relaxation since her body had shut down and her mind basically passed out. He thought for a moment before sensing that for some reason or another most of the members were actually now in the castle, including Xemnas himself. This was a rather odd coincidence, and then the fact he wished for the castle's defenses to be activated on top of that.

He sat down next to Larxene, returning to rubbing her hand to aid her more, he wished for her to get well as soon as possible, their plan still at hand and the discussion unended. He closed his eyes conjuring a small black portal and staring into it, the controls to the defense system cover in vines.

 

OOC: Two things..1. LOTO..are you actually wrapping them around the machine or is that just the way your portal looks?
2. Twilight it wasn't just for you,it was actually for two other people.Lrn2 read gaiz lawl.
