The Ultimate Organization III

Liam Chuckled,

"And why do you feel that way Enigma?" He placed a hand to his chin as if he was in thought. The grunt that held on to Wing had let him go, but not before binding his hands and feet.


"We have the ultimate playing chip right here, we can make our move and both look good in Scourage's eyes. What do you say? scratch my back and i'll scratch yours?"

 

Xane went to bed, preeparing to defend the village the next morning.

***

Novice was present as Liam entered the room...

 

Liam looked around while he waited for Enigma's answer. he looked to the corner and saw Novice standing there.


"Ah Novice I see the rumors are true then. You and Enigma are UO sympathizers. I'll make you the same deal as Enigma. You're record is cleaned and we all get what we want in the end."

He smiled. He didn't know much about Novice, but he did remember seeing Wing free the misguided fool in the attack for the Virus.

"I'm betting you remember your savior's face."

He gestured to Wing. Wing just looked away. He was pretty much powerless to fight back, and was sure that Novice and Enigma would rather help Liam to save their skins then to help him out.

 

Novice narrowed his eyes. "The last thing I care about is cleaning my record," he growled. "Why is it so important that you join the Brotherhood?"

 

Liam chuckled again.


"I'm sorry, what was your reason for joining again? it's rude to ask one's intentions without first explaining your own."

 

"Don't let him provoke you, Novice," Enigma said, standing and brushing himself off. "It won't do any good."

He turned to Liam. "Brotherhood? You? Don't kid me. You're not even worth my time at all."

Air silently sliced through Wing's bonds at Enigma's gesture.

Turning to Novice, he shook his head. "I swear, if one more person tries to coerce me into anything at all, I'll cut their head off..."

***
Atilio nodded. "I've got it covered. Just leave it to me."

 

Wing felt his restraints fall off, and played dumb. He would wait for the right chance to strike.


"Come now Enigma, no need for such harsh words. You and I both Know that I'm much more quailified to be Brotherhood then you yourself, or this worthless excuse for a man over here."

He gestured to Novice. Liam knew he was treading in deep water, but he wasn't phased at all. It was simple...he had nothing to lose any longer...and a man with nothing lose is the worst person to get into a fight with, he was sure that both Enigma and Novice knew that much.


"you're a coward." Wing said looking around at the group. He was confused as to the sides being drawn, but it didn't matter at the moment.

"Maybe i am young Guardian. Maybe I'm so scared of losing everything I don't have to the Brotherhood. Come on we all know it, with the Brotherhood you either go along, or you die...like you all will very shortly."

Wing stood up, and Liam chuckled.

"I'm not afraid of you Wing. I'm not afraid of any of you three." He walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down below. Cars zoomed past and people went about their everyday lives.

"It's them that should be afraid. I'm only here to see Wind and Flame react. You know that he feels your presence just as you feel his right boy?"

Wing looked down, he hadn't thought of Vecked's ability to sense him as well.

"So in other words your a has been puppet master that lost it all, and is trying to regain your life by giving your all to an Organization that's only using you in the end?"

Liam's face cringed and an expression of Rage attached itself to his face.


"I should have let you die when I had the chance. I should have killed you when you were at your weakest. You're whole existence is meaningless you know that?"

Wing smirked. And let his keyblades appear around him. The wind picked up and his shirts hood covered his head.


"Wrong move." Liam said taking a battle stance.

 

"Lexx... so good to see you, you too Captain."

"Yes, thank you so much Mr. Richards," Lexx said, shaking the man's hand, "And let me just say that your father was a very good man..."

Richards smiled, "Thank you Lexx... you seem pretty decent yourself. Now let me just start off by saying that your whole Ultima Org campaign is absolute crap."

Lexx made a face, Skinnar almost burst out laughing. "Um... okay, I disagree..." Lexx said, "But I still respect your opinion... why is your opinion like that, Mr. Richards?"

"Cause' it's crap, that's why," Richards replied, "The terrorists are the hero's in all your ads. We do not support terrorists Mr. Klüppel."

"It's just a marketing strategy," Lexx replied, "Besides, the media, the people, they love us. Although you may not personal like them, you have to admit it's the best for the U.P.A."

Richards nodded, "Unfortunately yes... your stuff is working, working well... I guess that's why you get paid so much, eh?"

"Not that much, sir," Lexx replied.

Richards gave a slight chuckle, "Right, anyway... there is actually something I kinda wanted to call you out on... why are you, a public image agent, so involved in the military exactly?"

Lexx shrugged, "It's part of my job. I'm actually Head of Public Resources, there is a big difference between that and a Public Resource agent. As head I'm also in charge of media, views... anything the public sees goes by me. So I need to know how the military is working so I can make it look good, I need to know everything... that's my job."

Richards nodded, "Alright... now I like you Lexicon, but you be careful... this UO campaign is going too far, I'm afraid we might have a backlash from it... crazy's are going to be after you, the media will be after you, Lexx... you've made yourself the image of the UO... of us... don't you die on us."

Lexx smiled, "I won't die... I've got too much to lose."

***

"So Lexx is going to die?" Aeron asked Vecked, who was explaining the plan.

"Lexx will be there, Skinnar will be there, and of course, Seltzar," Vecked explained, "Douchow is already dead... one commander down, Seltzar and Skinnar are the other two with business in the Dark Worlds. And Lexx is the beacon of hope right now, he's the one spreading the word of the UO... the word of hope, we kill him off and these people will go completely insane. All light world military groups will have to choice but to kill the Brotherhood, at any costs," Vecked said.

"It's foolproof," Vecked said with a smile, before pausing, he felt something... "Hide this all," Vecked said, pointing to the plans. "Why the hell should I do that?" Aeron asked. Vecked looked up quickly, "Someone's here..."

 

Xegreny woke up with a start. He was back in that same room. He felt exhausted for some reason. Like he'd just done so much work. But... he'd been asleep.. because those guys gave him that shot. That shot! What had it done?

Xegreny tore through his (once-again weak) bounds and charged out the door. Turning the corner, he exited onto the balcony once more. What he saw shocked him. Explosion craters, bullet holes, and dead bodies riddled the courtyard. Tanks proudly emblazoned with the symbol of the green flags near by rolled out into the streets.

A soldier that seemed to be important, from all the medals he wore, ran up to Xegreny.

"Adumbral sir! We've been attacked! We don't know by whom or why.. they just came out of nowhere! How did they find us? Nonetheless, as you predicted out weapons and armors easily outclassed theirs. We were able to turn them back, and now we're on the assault." The soldier said, seemingly out of breath.

"Uhm, good. Carry on." Xegreny said trying to keep up the illusion. Apparently, Adumbral had gotten what he wanted after all..

 

Xane awoke a few hours early, than he intended to. Today was the day to fight for Aurora City. He walked outside and and waited for his friends to wake up, while thinking about why all of this recent good publicity from the
U.P.A seemed too good to be true.

***

Novice watched as Liam took prepared to fight Wing. What he didn't have time for was another Brotherhood wannabee. Though, Liam was obviously no pushover. Wing may need some backup.

 

OOC: My apologies. I was gone all day, until after 10:30, at which point I was unable to get on. I'm on now, and if no one arrives within 30 minutes or so, I'll be back on later.

BIC: Enigma shook his head. "This is getting out of hand..."

He disappeared, and reappeared by Scourge. "I hope this works..."

"It's entering end game," Scourge said, the smile evident on his face. "It's going exactly according to my plan...So, tell me, what is Vecked planning now...?"

"He's planning to blow up some UPA people, namely Lexx, Skinnar, etc. who are the ones making the UO popular," Enigma said. "The usual terrorism."

"Good, good," Scourge said. "The more, the better."

"I just have one question..." Enigma said, walking forward, looking grumpy.

"And that is?" Scourge asked, turning to him.

"Why did Azull...?" Enigma started, but Scourge raised a hand.

"Right now, I can't tell you. I'll have Azull apologize later, however," Scourge said, turning back. "I'll be joining you soon..."

 

"What was it?" Aeron asked.

Vecked paused, "...Nothing... get ready for tomorrow... we have about an hour before six... lets move people!"

***

Lexx sat at his desk, searching the web. He wasn't going to go to Seltzar's thing tomorrow... it was stupid. Lexx opened his email, "New mail," He muttered, clicking on a new message entitle About the trip.

Lexx, I'm going to Destiny City early so I can spend the morning on the gold costs because I have family there. Skinnar.

"God damn it," Lexx muttered...

***

Skinnar sat in a Gummi Ship, first class. He retracted his private chair, before pulling the tv screen slightly closer. The rest of the first class area was dark, because it was official past midnight in Midgar time, which was were the ship had left from.

Skinnar's cell phone suddenly began to vibrate. Skinnar pulled it out and flipped it open, "Hello?" He said into the device.

"Check your email, man. Can't say more, this is costing me a fortune," Lexx's voice said.

"Tomorrow," Skinnar replied, before hanging up his phone...

***

Nulix woke up slowly...

 

Liam's hand was encased with Darkness, and from it a sword grew.


"You know Wing, we met a long time ago. Can you think of when?"


Wing's brow narrowed as he studied Liam's face.


"I've never met you in my life."


Liam chuckled and reached his hand into a small cubby hole
of darkness and pulled out a black helmet. he put it on and shrugged. Wing's eyes grew.

"Back in the Realms... you were one of Sigma's lackies!"

Liam threw the helmet off. "Yes I wasa Defender of Darkness, but now..."

Darkness consumed his body.

"I am the Guardian of this wonderful power!"

wing gripped his keyblades tighter, he was in for a tough fight, but it was time to prove Twilight's superiority

"I'm not going to let Darkness reign any longer. Its time that the light was brought back to these worlds. And if that means me losing my life to see it happen...well, so be it!"


Liam smirked. "How nice of you, granting me the luxury of taking your life. I shall enjoy this!" Liam rushed Wing, pulling another sword out of Darkness. Wing caught the attack and oushed Liam backwards, cauing him to stumble.

"Walk much?"

Wing asked with a smirk as he rasied the featherdancer and launched a wind spell at Liam. Liam crossed his arms and stood his ground, using a pool of darkness to hold himself up.

"seems you've grown in power. Much more then I had anticipated. But no matter, it only means I can use my power to its fullest extent."

 

Nulix walked over to Xane's room and knocked, "Xane... you up?"

 

Noticing somebody look inside his room, Xane said, "I'm outside."

 

OOC: If anyone bothers to be on tonight, I'm not going to be here...I'll be here all this week though.

 

"Xane," Nulix said, walking over to Xane, "Hey... you ready for today?"

 

OOC: It's cool, DK.

BIC: Ir was about seven in the morning. Almost time to set out to fight those bandits. All Xane had to do for now was wait for his cohorts to wake up. Then Nulix spoke.

"Yeah," Xane nodded. "I think I might even skip breakfast and go right over there to fight those damn bandits."

 

"We skip breakfast eighty percent of the time," Nulix muttered, "While were around civilization we should at least try and take care of ourselves, right?"

 

"Guess you're right," Xane shrugged. "But, I don't like the fact that we came to this place being hailed as heroes, then we let crap like this happen."
