Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

Blaige relished in every free moment, trying to hook his blade around Gexln, and slice off his head with the next. "Dead." Came a grim tone, eyes still cold. This was a grave change compared to earlier, maybe it was the new form? Yes, it was powerful in comparison to the other forms, but it was dangerous. It fought with cold ferocity, and a will to kill.

 

Gexln was hastily trying to think of a way to get around Blaige, but with all the ducking and dodging he was doing to avoid being sliced open, he barely had time to breathe let alone put any ideas into action.

 

Blaige kept swinging, missing for the most part, but trying to literally maim Gexln. All he needed was an attack to knock him out, then he could be dragged away properly.

 

OOC:yeesh, this is getting violent....XD

 

Gexln growled a little at Blaige, blocking yet another strike. Ducking down quickly, he then sprang up with a lightning fast vertical slash aimed at Blaige's skull.

 

The strike, not destroying anything, did knock Blaige out and left him on the ground with a bloody nose. With a heavy groan, and no energy, he simply passed out.

 

Gexln stood still, huffing from exhaustion after the battle. The mark on his chest stung, but he had gone there for a purpose, not merely to fight a new opponent. He wearily took off his hood and pointed Darkness' Sorrow at Sora." Sora..you're coming with me" he said.

 

"and what if I say no...?"Sora gave a small growl, not liking where this was going. Riku looked at Blaige, then at Gexln. This is not turning out well...

 

Sweat was dripping from Gexln's brow, making it obvious that Gexln was slightly tired from the battle with Blaige. His eyes had a cold, icy look to them as he stared Sora in the eyes. "You don't have much of a choice. You're coming with me, and you're going to be the Master's new host" he said with a sneering tone. His stomach ached and he doubled over in pain, the seed of darkness' effect beginning to kick in. He quickly stood up and regained his composure, ignoring the constant throbbing in his stomach. "Now, come quietly or i'm going to have to drag you to him. And trust me, you won't enjoy that" he stated.

 

ooc: Yeah, you two are going to have to carry things out for the most part. By the way, Val, Terra is going to make an appearance, so I don't know who'll be him. (pfft Terra's a girl's name)
also, keep in mind, Terra's spirits must be broken down to nothing. A shell of his former self.
bic: You sit upon your throne, watching the darkness bubble and boil. It was boring, and you were growing tired at the amount of time it took for all your subjects to even report to you.

Within the dark, the hearts showed some ability to communicate... though it was scratchy, static driven, like an old radio. None-the-less, they took up some ghosts of an image, only to look tied up by their ankles and wrists. "Terra?" Eden spoke in static whispers, seeking out the other soul that was trapped for so long. "Are you there?"

 

OOC:Oh boy, this is juuust greeeeat.*mega sarcasm*
BIC: "You're not taking Sora. You'll have to go through me first."Riku snarled, summoning Oblivion. "And me!"Roxas snapped, summoning Oblivion and.... "what?!"he gasped when Oblivion and Oathkeeper didn't materialize in his hands.

 

Gexln growled quietly once again. "If that's what it takes" he said grimly. The wind gently went through Gexln's short hair as he breathed heavily. Gotta end this quickly, before Sora screws this up he thought.

 

"Hey! Hey! No way are YOU taking Sora without a fight!"Valerie rushed out of the gummi, getting her daggers. "I can fight him myself..."Sora said. "No you can't..."Riku, Valerie, and Roxas said at once. Kurix gulped, hoping this would turn out well.

 

Equius, having taken a long rest, stretched his legs within the Gummi. He made his was outside, a large 'wark' emitting as a yawn. He peered at the fight to begin within the bamboo, staring quizzically. Looking for a familiar face, his master was nowhere to be seen. However, the Master's friend was there, posed to fight others... So he did what Master thought would be good, and made a full steam charge at the team with his thick head.

 

Gexln could feel the seed of darkness inside of him, gradually corrupting his thoughts. "The stupid little wielder can't fight me himself...pitiful" he said with a slight chuckle. He took a deep breath. "If you want to stop me, go ahead and try" he stated.

 

Sora huffed when they wouldn't let him fight on his own. Valerie got tackled by Equius, shaking her head. "oof..."she huffed. Riku summoned Way to Dawn, getting into a battle position. Sora shook his head, summoning Oblivion.

 

Equius shifted his leg to drift next to Gexln, scratching the floor in an attempt to ram again.

"Hey.... Hey! Wake up Terra!" Eden still fought, spirits not as broken as the limp Wielder was.

 

"Equius, no! Gexlns the bad guy this time! Please..."Valerie knew she was talking to a chocobo, but she had to try to reason with the bird. Sora hated that Riku wouldn't let him fight. But Riku was there to protect. Gexln probably still didn't like the things Sora said back during the Mark of Mastery exam. The powerful of revenge could take over and if Gexln used darkness to his advantage, Sora would be doomed. Riku could never let that happen. Sora saw the look on Riku's face, seeing the silverette in his 'loyal' mode.

 

"Hope you're ready" Gexln said. With a loud roar, he dashed straight to Sora and spun in a 360 degree arc with both Darkness' Sorrow and the Shadow Keyblade, forming a small tornado of death.

 

"Protect!"Riku and Sora teamed up in a barrier aroung the three of them. "Light!"Valerie's daggers glowed white, the girl throwing her daggers at Gexln.
