KH Class RP Part 2

Xenree stifled a yawn as the purebloods leapt at Alphonse, attempting to cover him with their shadowy, black flesh.

Demyx noticed Mage staring at him or rather his shadow, but being paranoid thought it was at him, "You okay, Mage?"

 

"Please help!" Alphonse said managing to cast a thunder.

 

Mage blinked, waking up out of her trance. "Oh, yeah... I guess I'm tired... Your shadow is just moving is all." she yawned, tugging on Saix's arm.

 

Xenree snapped her fingers and a zero graviraga flung all the purebloods into the sky. "You manage well." Several of the same black daggar formed in her hand and she threw them at the floating heartless, destroying them. "But you rely on a friend. You remind me of someone I met a long time ago. He also thought I was a bad person."

Demyx blinked in confusion and glanced at his shadow, "Saix, is my shadow moving to you?" Saix glanced at it and back to Mage, "Just a bit."

 

The shadow wriggled again, wrapping around Demyx a bit. The form of it tarted to look a bit like Hestia. "Remember? I tagged along with you because you and Axel were to go looking for Parma. But instead I see you're going to revive the man that murdered me." She was speaking to Demyx, seeing as she was a part of his shadow.
Mage shrugged, not too bothered. It wasn't hurting anyone at least. "Saix? Can we go home? I'm really tired. We can go get Xehanort's heart later."

 

"Oh thank you!" Alphonse said hugging Xenree then stepping back."Sorry...."

 

Xenree gave him a look of disdain, "A touchy feely, Keyblade wielder...hmm..." she turned again and walked off down the hall again. "Don't get left behind!" she called back to him.

Saix nodded and motioned for everyone to gather, "Yes, we can always return here after we're rested." he said, opening a dark corridor back to the Castle that Never Was. Demyx felt like he'd been scolded and moped.

 

Hestia softened her voice, sighing. "Please, Nocturne, do not mope. You just wish your master back. Hopefully he will be kinder if he is brought back."
Mage followed Saix, holding his arm like a child would hold their teddy bear late at night. How cute.

 

Alphonse followed her down the hallway."Ok." he replied rather plainly.

 

Demyx sighed, "I'm not moping Hestia...I'm just...it makes me sad to know that our leader murdered an innocent woman like that. It doesn't seem like him." Vexen disagreed, "It sounds just like our Xemnas. He fought a young boy and his friends to get what he wanted a few years ago. Why not this time?" Saix wanted to shut them up, but he focused on keeping the dark corridor aimed for the Castle and Mage on her feet.

Xenree dragged Alphonse along silently before she broke the silence and pulled up her hood, "Why do you want to become a Keyblade wielder, Alphonse?"

 

"Maybe he was looking for better friends for Mage. My son is a bit more durable then most humans." Hestia wanted to see reason behind her death as well, but none came.
Mage slowly trudged along, wondering if she was going to end up eating Xehanort's heart to bring back Xemnas.

 

"To help others and honestly.....to protect myself." Alphonse said.

 

Xenree barely moved, "From the heartless and the darkness? Or did you have something else in mind of needing to be protected from?" Her Organization coat rustled as she stopped in another small clearing, the I.O. Tower was coming into view.


Demyx and the others silently walked along the halls of the dark corridors until they heard a moan that stopped them still. "Saix, please tell me that was your stomach." Saix growled at him and scanned the darkness. "Hey, you see that?" Xigbar summoned his arrowguns and stood on alert.

 

"Both" Alphonse admitted "But what about you? Why does everyone think your bad?"

 

Mage blinked, forcing her already groggy self to pump adrenaline and summon Nightmare. She wondered if it was another one of those imitations Vexen had made... But she was quite sure she killed it, so that made no sense.

 

"Probably because I tried to kill everyone a while back. But I was confused. My true desire is now made up in my eyes. They'll all see now...just who I am." Inclining her head to the open space, she stepped aside and revealed a Defender Heartless. It's large shield with a dog-like head facing Alphonse.

Everyone was on alert as the moan came from a place closer to them followed by a shriek. Saix pushed Mage behind him and cast a hateful look toward Vexen. "They must have gotten out!" Marluxia looked around, "Where's Zexion? And Akira?! They're still on the ship?" "Better they stay out of this. Akira would get hurt." A black shape lumbered quickly down the corridor at them, looking similar to the one Mage had fought. Nightmare groaned, And here I was thinking those things were all dead.

 

Mage growled as Saix pushed her back, seeing as how she was able to fight these things. "I can fight, Saix! I've finished this thing off once before and I can do it again!" she was about to go charge in with Nightmare's guidance, but the fake was bound by the darkness of the corridors. Hestia was as work again.
"Hmph, filthy thing. Why make something so disgusting of an abomination?" she darkly hummed to Vexen, wondering more about this creature.

 

Alphonse began firing off fires,blizzards,and thunders. He seemed determined.He was doing much better this time. The heartless was blocking alot of them though.Alphonse ran up and tried to attack though he was knocked back a good distance."Grrrrrrr." He ran up and dodged around this time.He kicked it in the back as hard as he could knocking it over. He quickly put both hands on its backl. He focused as hard as he could. A fire shot out of his left hand, a blizzard shot out of his right hand, and a thunder hit the heartless from above all at the same time. THe heartless was finished off but Alphonse could barely find the strength to stand. He was on his knees and he looked at Xenree as though he was looking for approval.

 

The alarm was still sounding. "WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?" Glen asked,shouting.

 

Saix still shoved Mage behind him as a shockwave came from the creature as it slammed a large misshappen fist into the ground without slowing it's progress. Lunatic blocked the wave from hitting Mage, "Because it's not the same as before! Everyone! You know what to do, let's get this thing out of our darkness." Vexen sighed, "And they were such beautiful creations of mine. Maybe not on the outside," he added as he caught Larxene's look, "But they were a prize. Such raw power utilized in small amounts." Larxene tossed her Foudre into the ground before it and electricuted it. The creature still came onward and Xaldin and Lexaeus took frontline.

Xenree barely paid attention to Alphonse as he fought, as long as she didn't hear a scream of pain, she knew he was fine. Her face portrayed nothing of what she was thinking. Her hood hiding a bit of her face as she walked past him, "Get up. You're not finished yet." She tossed him an elixer to get him back on his feet as she passed by. Her coat brushed his shoulder and briefly revealed something gleaming inside. The keychain of a Keyblade glimmered in the light for a moment before the flap of her coat closed and she swiftly moved onwards to the next clearing.
