The Ultimate Organization III+.5

Enigma smiled a little wider. "You just have an interesting look about you now. I'm waiting for you to attack..."

***

Wirdikov's head snapped back. One eye stared directly at Skinnar as his lip curled into a snarl.

"That...hurt," Wirdikov growled, bringing his holed head forward.

Highwind swallowed. "Shoot him more. A lot more."

***

Falcon turned. "...My Brotherhood name is Falcon. But my real name is Janet. I worked at the general store in the city Tera Roth lived in when he was young. We knew each other as kids..."

***

Xardius picked himself up. "That moderately hurt as well..."

Spitting blood, he grinned. "Take a load of this, though."

"SYAORIKEN!" Xardius roared, throwing his blade down and a massive blade of energy ripped into Ravakov's machine.

 

Skinnar began to rapidly fire. Some shots fly by the head, by most of them hit. "Captain Geech, I'm not sure if this is working!" Skinnar yelled to Highwind...

***

Alyt pulled her broadsword up, in a defensive stance. She wasn't quite sure what this Brotherhood member was playing at, first attacking, then running, and then trying to engage in conversation. "You knew Tera?" Alyt asked, her guard still up...

***

Ecko stretched, "So, Cap'n, what's the escape plan from this red base, eh?"

 

"You think?" Wirdikov asked, spitting bullets. "I told you...you can't beat me."

Highwind shook his head. "Here we go. Final Release!" His sword twisted and lengthened, slicing upwards through Wirdikov's light and stabbing into Wirdikov through the heart.

"What the...?" Wirdikov gasped just before another one of Skinnar's shots penetrated into his brain and his conscience imploded, leaving nothing but an empty shell.

Highwind let Wirdikov's lifeless body drop as his sword returned to normal. He dropped to the ground with Skinnar.

"I don't really know what happened, but I guess his heart and brain had to be hit...at the same time?" Highwind guessed. "Either way, he's dead..."

***

"That's what I said," Falcon growled, turning away. "I knew him before I met you."

 

Wing's fingers slipped smoothly around the cool metallic handle of the featherdancer. in one motion he pulled the sword from the earth and vanished, the blade swung down at Enigma's shoulder, then vanishing before reappearing to be swung at his gut, legs, arms, neck, then finally hitting its mark on his back, knocking him to the ground. Wing stopped, appearing seemingly from nowhere. An attack created from the speed of Wind and the ability to use twilight corridors. He was mimicking a mole, the small blind creature that burrows through the ground.

His eyes still closed, using only Enigma's aura to attack, he couldn't ever miss...there was no way he could be out sped now.

Wing dropped back into a portal, then thrust the featherdancer from a portal beneath Enigma, sending him up into the air, where Wing began to fly across the sky, slashing at Enigma from all sides before landing on one knee, waiting to hear his foe's body hit the solid earth.

 

Skinnar glanced at Highwind, "So... can I keep the corpse?"

***

"So why did you attack me?" Alyt asked...

 

Instead, Enigma's foot connected with Wing's face, sending him flying backwards.

"Well, that was fun," Enigma smiled, landing on the ground. "I didn't think your speed and power would increase that fast."

"Still," Enigma said, bowing slightly. "Our time is up."

His sword flipped back into the crystal. "See you later..."

Enigma turned and began walking away.

***

Highwind gave Skinnar a weird look. "Um...why?"

***

Falcon gave Alyt a "are you serious?" look. "Uh, duh, I'm Brotherhood. It's my job. Speaking of which..."

Her rapier suddenly sliced towards Alyt's legs...

 

Wing struggled to his feet, he hadn't expected a blow to the back of his head.

He threw his hod back and gritted his teeth, Enigma wouldn't get away, not this time.


"You coward!" He shouted, throwing spell after spell before using the technique he had just used, to get in front of Enigma right as his keyblade was able to connect with the Brotherhood member's gut

"I'm not letting you walk away!"

 

"But your a friend of Tera's as well!" Alyt said, skipping over the blades and jumping to the side. "I though you would be like A friend of Tera's a friend of mine but I guess not..."

Alyt suddenly raced forward, slashing her broadsword as she did. Falcon dodged this and readied for Alyt to attack again from the other side. Alyt did just that, doing the same basic attack only coming from the left instead of the right...

***

Skinnar glanced up, "Its a secret..."

 

Enigma grabbed Wing's keyblade with his bare hands and wrenched it from his gut, his shirt tearing to reveal unmarked skin.

"Listen, I'll play with you some other time, all right?" Enigma smiled, throwing the keyblade away, sending Wing with it, skidding across the room.

Enigma waved and walked away, disappearing after a few moments.

OOC: Enigma......scares me.

BIC: ***

Falcon's eyes narrowed and she rolled backwards away from the blow. "You're up to something...Besides, Tera Roth's dead. Neither of us were able to save him, so..."

"Hey, hold on," a voice said from on top of one of the buildings.

***

Highwind rolled his eyes. "So long as you don't do anything weird with it, I don't really care..."

 

Skinnar nodded, before grabbing the body and stuffing it into a bag...

***

Alyt looked up to find the source of the voice...

 

The blades rang as they clashed, sending a shower of sparks around them. Their figures were like liquid, each trying to best the other, trying to make the other lose ground.
Their steps were graceful as they circled each other, fierce when they clashed, and hesitant when they backed away.
"C'mon, is that all you got!?" Xavier shouted tauntingly, "You still have the same moves as ever!"
"You haven't seen me do any tricks yet!" Bellatrix shouted as she threw the spiked and of her chain, suddenly multiplying into two seconds before hitting Xavier.
"What!?" he shouted, barely able to block one as the other hit his rigfht arm, making a huge gash. His left hand, which contained his stainless steel sword, tightened its grip on the obsidian handle, "You little b-!"
"Now is that any way for a gentlemen to talk!?" Bella sneered as she sent the chains hurtling at him again. He managed to repel them but they quickly swung back and wrapped tightly around him. He struggled to breathe as they closed in on him, rattling and hissing like snakes.
"So, do you give up?"
"I'm immortal" he choked out, "I never will"
With no warning Bellatrix raised her hands to protect herself from the shrapnels of her broken chains as they flew by her. She was suddenly sent flying back as Xavier tackled her, laughing insanely.
"Is that all you have!? Pathetic!"
Bella chuckled, lifting herself up as she extended her hand, making a fist suddenly. The shattered pieces of her faithful weapon suddenly floated and went hurling themselves at Xavier, piercing him in hundreds of spots he couldn't defend. He coughed up blood as he dropped to his knees, the mirror behind him cracking. Bellatrix smirked as she walked past him and stopped in front of the mirror.
"No matter what, I will be back" Xavier whispered, "I'm your reflection, your shadow, your true past"
"I know, I'll be waiting" Bellatrix said as she grabbed the spiked blade of the chain and demolished the mirror, not looking behind at the melting pieces as she continued on her way, eager to see her friends again.

OOC: Short and kinda rushed, lol I just wanted to move on already ^^;
Btw, Hi guys! XD

 

Dyran Dirge, a mirror image of Tera Roth, leaped down from the building. "Falcon, what are you doing? Stop fighting her, and get out of here."

"As for you," Dyran said, turning to Alyt. "Thank you."

Falcon grumbled something and walked away.

***

Highwind stared up at the ruins. "We should get going...I still have to keep an eye on you..."

 

Alyt looked at Dyran wide eyed, "Tera Roth? Or... who are you?"


OOC: HI HIDDEN!

 

"My name is Dyran," Dyran said. "Enigma probably told you. I'm his brother. And once again, thank you. Without you, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible."

Turning, Dyran began walking off. "If you're wondering what," Dyran said over his shoulder. "Just keep walking."

 

Alyt paused for a second, before running after Dyran. "Enigma didn't tell me, actually..." Alyt said as she approached...

 

OOC: Last post for tonight...

BIC: "Well," Dyran said. "We're twins. But whereas he became a Heartless, I became trapped in a kind of time paradox, which leaves me a few years younger than he was."

Dyran led Alyt to the entrance of a small building to the side of the ruins. "What you're about to see is top secret, do you understand?"

OOC: And with that, no more Alyt...Have to finish Ravakov battle first...

 

Alyt nodded slowly, before following Dyran...

Vecked sat back in his hotel bed. The Virus was in a box which he kept in his knapsack. He always wore his knapsack. He had a contact keeping an eye on the Ultimate Organization. He would know when they had a stable portal ready. For now, Vecked was just taking it easy. For the last three days he had stayed at a small inn deep within one of the western WTNW forests. It was in a small village, with a very well kept community. There only had one other customer since Vecked was there, a hiker and his son, stayed for a night and then left. Vecked felt sorry for the old couple who ran the bar, Favro and Alisha. He decided to stay here for the rest of his wait unless the village became unsafe. He spent a lot of money at the inn, and the bar downstairs as well. He had a little bit saved up, close to two-thousand, so he decided to give it to Frank and Alisha, the inn and the bar. They needed the business.

Vecked raised the heat in the room slightly. The western forests were freezing even though it was about to be summer. Vecked began to shuffle through his knapsack, which was right next to the heater controls on the wall. He pulled out two items. A small portable Net-Radio, and the Virus box. He liked watching the Virus. It made him feel like he had won something great and had a trophy to prove it.

Veced fell back down onto the bed, letting the radio and the Virus box fall with him. They both landed softly on the bed. Vecked tuned the radio to the right station, 98.9. Three major computer companies were going to be on the Stern Stewart show, Alex Frix representing Globokahn Computers, Jenji Kazuharu representing Blitz Interactive, and Nulix Princeton representing Princeton Computers.

Once Vecked turned it to the station Nulix's lively voice filled his ears.

"Well yes, I mean, we started out as a subdivision of our good friend Mr. Frix over there, or actually Mr. Sakura Globokahn himself, but then we branched out... um, obviously we are the cheapest company using the Maxilo tech not to mention the first, so people like, or companies like, uh, like Fava. The Toystation Six, big console, coming out... or planned to come out next year some time, Christmas I think, they come to us, say, we want your tech for our, uh, our gaming platform. So, to say we are reliant on Globokahn still is ridiculous..."

"But, Mr. Princeton, you still must have some reliance on Globokahn, I mean... you've only been around since late November, you can't have cut all ties, right?"

"No, no, Stern, your right... I mean, distribution of our first product is all, the Princeton 1, is still going through Globokahn's hands but other than that we are doing good. We are doing good."

"Alright... now, I wanted to talk to you about this, uh, Ultimate Organization you were involved in-"

"Yes,"

"Can you tell us about that?"

"Um, it was just a sort of active, um, protest group who had a lot of information about a lot of things involving the uh Sora War. I mean, it started with the war between the colonies and the main star system over resources, right? And then the Dai Jee group led by the notorious Hojan, who is safely behind bars, and later Raijin, who's now dead, came and attacked. And then we won that and we get bombed, so we invade. The Dark World blew Destiny City's town hall up they should expect a war from that, ya know? And we successfully destroyed the threat there. Now, the most dangerous the War got was when the Six Sora System thing was initiated. That was a large lack of faith in the Gran Aigo for a lot of people but the truth was most planets outside the inner rim were targets for nuclear attacks. A lot of people blame the, uh, the guy on the loudspeaker, Lexicon Kluppel, for the Six Sora System mess but really it was just too rushed to be predictable. We needed to move everyone to safety. And now everyones back, we have a great Commander-in-chief, Rentu Skinnar, my heart goes out to him, and the new alliance between the systems, Ulfire especially, I think its great. We really are doing great, we're recovering, and the great thing is even though were weak we are united with the rest of the systems, ya know? I'm glad that finally, in the 23rd century, we've reached a place where, you know, our governments are constantly united and helping each other back up. As long as we have that, nothing can destroy us."

"Alright-"

"Sorry, just my... little political clear up thing there."

"Not a problem. Ladies and gentlemen, Nulix Princeton. Now Mr. Kazuharu-"

Vecked switched off the radio. It was about time he head to bed.

***

The Gran Aigo bit down on his knuckle hard. On the screen before him was the Prime Minister of Ulfire, saying some very harsh things.

"We want Destiny Islands. Your weak, you've raged war too many times." The Prime Minister explained. "Your system is dying. Now, you could give us half of Destiny Islands and we could make it the official U.O. capitol or we could storm you. And the other systems would take our side, trust me, my Gran Aigo. They don't want to go against us. So what do you say? We could either end the Sora System in the next five years or you could just give us half of your capitol world, eh?"

The Aigo gritted his teeth. "Fine."

The Prime Minister smiled, "See... everything is better when we get along. We will move the troops into the Gold Coasts after the Virus is caught and the Brotherhood is exterminated."

"We're doing the Brotherhood extermination after the Virus, right?" The Aigo asked.

The Prime Minister nodded, "Can't have two problems at once, can we? I'll see you on tuesday, alright? See ya."

"See ya," The Aigo muttered as the screen dimmed down. "He's gonna move troops towards our capitol," An advisor said, "He's gonna invade us. And the way its going, we won't be able to stop him."

"Our economy is suffering," Another advisor added, "Our major export, space flight and weapons, has all been taken over by Ulfire. Ya know who the small planet's are buying from now? Not Sora, not anymore, now its Ulfire. We have no major exports, no money coming in. We won't be able to pay for weapons or weapon projects. I don't see how we can pay the U.P.A. any longer, and without military we have nothing to stop an invasion."

"We don't have a major export now," The first advisor replied, "But I think, in a year or so, we might. We are the first System to create the Maxilo computer system, and the first to distribute it. A young company, came out late last year, Princeton Computers, they are the first ever to sell the Maxilo computer."

The Aigo looked up, "And you think, through this, we can make computers our biggest export and thus make us be able to pay our soldiers to fend Ulfire back? You understand that world leaders aren't looking for video games, right? They are looking for guns and cars! A computer won't help them get either of those!"

"It helps them get both of those, actually," The advisor explained. "Weapons need computers. A weapon that can launch itself in an emergency, a weapon that can repair itself, a weapon that can drive itself is something the rest of the world will want. And to do that, they need a Maxilo computer. A Princeton computer. We can save Sora with this..."

The Gran Aigo sighed, "Call this Princeton kid up. A want him to have funding, I want him to have a lot of funding. I want this computer to get us money, understand? Go... do it."

Ecko heard footsteps coming from down the hall, "Looks like Ulfire soldiers are a comin', Mr. Titan," He said to Pharell...

Wing dusted himself off and sighed in frustration.


"Stupid enigma..." He said standing up and stretching.

He started for the castle ruins again, his shoulder stinging slightly from the wound Enigmas had given him. His twilight ability could no longer heal his wounds because the phoenix was gone.

"Good thing I have smaller sized potions."

He pulled out a small vile, barely large enough to hold more then a few drops. He downed it and his shoulder began to heal.

"Now, let's hope the others are doing alright..."

The Castle ruins were in sight now, and he was the first to arrive. His hand passed over the two small metal pieces in his pocket.

"Almost time, just a little longer."

He sat down on a small wall and waited.

 

Bellatrix quickened her steps as she continued down her path. Her pale face was twisted into a scowl.
"The others are probably already at the meeting point. And like always I'll be the last one" she muttered under her breath, a sudden chill descending her spine. Her pace slackened and she paused, trying to push away the unsettling feeling, "Probably nothing. I better hurry up because if I don't make it in time, the others'll go on without me"
With a hesitant step and sweeping glance, she began walking...
