|x|Kingdom Hearts: Into the Void|

Cloud's back had hit the wall causing him to let out gasp of pain. Leon had literally shoved him and the pain was going through his system at record speed. "Next time don't shove me into something hard," he complained softly. He wondered why there was a nobody present and his gut instinct told him to remain quiet as possible.

Demyx looked to the left and then to the right spotting the fewer number of dancers. "This is just great. I can't find that jerk Axel, my dancers are dwindling out on me and no other member has been heard or spotted. Who knows where the rest of them are?" he began to pace back and forth growing frusterated of the situtation. His eyes shifted to the mansion for the felt the presences of two humans eying him from a distance. Grinning devilisly, his mood changed as he slowly crept towards them. "You two can come out. I know why you're here. Don't think I didn't see you both spying on me, but the question is why?" he seized them both by their shirts following by letting go after he drug them out from their hiding place. "Oh come on. I'm not going to hurt you unless you mean me harm."

 

Roxas jumped from his daze slightly, his bright, cerulean eyes looking around his surroundings alarmed, leftover ice cream stick in his mouth. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, trying to make sense of what just happened. Strange. For a second, he had thought the had heard his name being called. After a second search, he blamed it on him starting to hear things as he shrugged, scratching his head as he turned back to staring out for the final time at the twilight view of the sun before he had to go back to Destiny Islands. He let out a melancholy breath at that. He had to go back. He had to go back inside. Because without him, Sora would be incomplete. Even though he knew himself that he was Roxas, not Sora, in the end, he was just another entity and a part of Sora that would be missing if he didn't return. His fist clenched tightly, a rush of anger passing through him. It wasn't fair. It really wasn't. Couldn't there be a way for them both to coexist? Wasn't there? All the things he had left behind, the life he wanted for himself, his memories so screwed up that he couldn't even remember his red haired best friend, and his mind thinking that Hayner, Pence, and Olette were real, and not Data. He hated being fooled. And he was fooled. At least, he and Axel had made a promise to meet again, right? So where was he? When they spoke for the last time in the clock tower...and he could swear his eyes were moist...

Something did spill. A tear?

He shut his eyes at that, letting the soft breeze ruffle his hair and clothes, enjoying the momentary. The only reason he had opened them a few seconds later was to see the the imaginary of the sunset again, the clouds, the strikes of rays, the hue of orange, red, and yellow...it felt at home. His home. Giving a heavy sigh of defeat, he made his way to get up, throwing the stick of what was his ice cream somewhere, and as he straightened, he reluctantly gave every piece a last glance, the hand supporting the wall starting to create a portal, and it was leisurely forming. It had been awhile since he had been free, and his abilities as a Nobody were dormant, maybe, but now that he recalled back, he had sensed disturbances. That rift in the air when he knew that another was using the Corridors of Darkness. It was probably Dusks...but no, their method of portalling was different. A part of him wanted to delay his time and check it out, but another was aware that Sora was almost waking up...

Waking up...

 

"Why would we do that?" Cloud asked bumping his elbow against Leon for him to agree with him. "We're not doing anything wrong," he eyed the nobody keeping his distance from him as he tried not to think of the uneasy feeling he was experiencing right now. Cloud knew with an instant if this organization member wanted to he could take his heart in an instant, but the question was why didn't he? What was his reason for not doing so? Did he like to toy with his victims before taking them out? Cloud kept close to his friend keeping his eyes on the organization member at all costs.

Demyx grinned at how scared these two warriors were deep within even though they were refusing to show it. "Let's see... You guys obviously defeated my dancers after intruding and trespassing on private property. The second is that you say you're not doing anything wrong, but in reality you are by being here and thirdly you seem to be scared to death of me, but you're trying not to show it am I right?" he brought forth his dancers that surrounded them. "Now I'm not in the mood to fight and personally I don't like it so it's your lucky day. I'm sparing you because to tell you the truth you two could be somewhat of use to me," he knew some information of what the new threat of the husks that lurked ahead and it was best to form allies aganist a greater force. "Have you ever heard of these things called husks?" he spotted their curiousity.

 

Leon nodded his head at Cloud not wanting to make the nobody upset especially since he had his dancers surrounding them both. "No, we haven't heard of anything that call themselves Husks. What's it to you?" He asked carefully keeping his gunblade in front of him just in case Demyx tried to do something sneaky. Sure he seem harmless, but nobodies were deceivers by nature and it wasn't going to fall for any of his tricks. "He wants to use us? That can't be good." He thought to himself.



Axel telported towards the Twilight Tower which was his mistake by then remebering it was one of the last places he had seen Roxas which just was making him feel worse. How could he come back here? There was no reason. This was just a past memory which was also Roxas. Sighing in defeat the spikey red head flopped down at his usual spot gazing at the sunset. Closing his eyes hoping to drain away the horrible pain that was reliving in his nightmares. Nothing had worked, oh how he resented Sora now because he had taken Roxas away forever, however the kid was not a threat to the organization anymore by this time. So was it even worth his sacrifice? All in vain because he just wanted to see Roxas again and now he never will. Axel had hoped he had gained his heart, but that never did happen either and still could not figure out why. He did everything that was against a nobody regulations, but still nothing. What did he do wrong? Perhaps he wasn't meant to have it back, no the only thing left were empty memories that only belonged to Ale his other half of his soul who he was part of one time.

At that moment the fire member brought one of his leg's up to rest by his chest as he realized he was in fact alone, and he felt lonely. His eyes gazed at the warm sun and the colors of orange, red, yellow, and the background beyond Twilight Town where he felt at peace for once in his life. At least Roxas had gotten his heart back, no it was Sora's, but still he hoped that he was some what happy though the resentment in his soul told him otherwise. The flame dancer covered his hands over his face as if trying to drown out some kind of aura that seem familar that was either leaving or going, but he wasn't sure whose it was. That reminds me I might as well find Demyx afterwards Thinking to investigate he teleported towards that presence with an ice cream he had been sucking on for old times sakes in his mouth that he had previously had been chewing on, but then as he came closer it had dropped on the ground as his eyes seem to decieve him. His expression now skeptical as he witnessed the young boy with messy blondish brown hair the key of destiny that he now knew was the one who he had promised to see again. "Roxas?"

 

"Axel?" Roxas whispered in a hiss, the shock passing out into his tone relentlessly as he stared at the redheaded man before him in surprise, eyes wide, not believing what he was seeing. At first, when he had felt a presence beside him, he got alert, considering that it was a portal, and thus, liable to hold something either dangerous or that someone spotted him. And that gripped his chest about who would it be. Who else would portal like this other than the humanoid Nobodies, and the Organization? So his body tensed naturally as he waited for the newcomer, prepared for anything, only to be rigid and stunned when he had witnessed that it was none other than redheaded male that used to be, and still was if need be, his best friend. He had remained silent, the befuddlement leaving him speechless even when he tried to speak as he gazed into his face, pondering if being in the clock tower was making him hallucinate. Attempting to say something again other than his name, he opened his mouth, only to close it again, words not able to come out as they both stood there, in such a wistful setting that he...couldn't say...anything. Nothing. What could he say? Or act? A hug wouldn't be exactly manly, right? Especially as then sudden questions began to pop into his head. How had he come back? No..he had believed he would come back, yet, how had he come as Axel? Yes, he had expected to meet him again, yet, not as this form anymore, so it greatly made him at a loss about how, or what, happened to revert it all back to the past. And if he was here, were the rest of the Organization back as well? Doing what?

And he was still quiet. He began to feel awkward, and quite anxious, as his mind couldn't conjure up anything yet to speak about, and he didn't want to make it seem like he wasn't happy that he was here. And he was happy. In a astonished way. He just...wasn't able to express it properly as his brain dug into what...or how to start. The whole thing annoyed him so much, that he finally just forced himself to blab out whatever was present, "How did you..? You're back...but you're Axel..."

He smiled at him anyway in a sort of relief.

 

"Oh nothing," he hummed to himself. "Except they are supposed to be worst then nobodies which sucks for you guys," he shrugged his shoulders before ordering his dancers to stop attacking them. "When the time is right, we'll see each other again," he smiled disappearing into a portal.

Cloud sighed a breath of relief glad that the nobody was gone. "What was all that about?" he asked stretching his arms and legs. "What did he mean by worse than nobodies? Are we going to have another threat on our hands?" Swishing his blonde hair to the side, he sighed not wanting to fight once more for the fate of the worlds. For once he wanted to take it easy, but it seems he was always on his toes.

Feeling proud of the way he acted to the intruders, his body wavered at the result of his servants that had returned to him. "Oh no. I'm 4 dancers short. That's just great," he sighed as he paced back and forth in the castle. Becoming bored with that he wondered if any of the other members were here. "Huh? That's strange? This place seems more empty then usual," he wandered towards the bedrooms and knocked on each one of their doors. "They're not answering. I wonder where they went?" Tapping his foot to a song he had in his head, he remembered Larxene leaving in a huff the last time he saw her. "Maybe I should go look for her, but where would she go off to? She could be anywhere?" Feeling lost and wondering what to do next, he made up his mind to go look for her. "Now if I were Larxene where would I go? Probaly somewhere peaceful since she seemed tense when we left," he opened up a void, strolled into it as it's vapors surrounded him transporting him somewhere else. "Let's see if I were tense, I would head off to the beach so I guess I can look there first," he appeared onto the beach, which made him feel close to home. The ocean was his calling, making him one with the sea an ocean soul crying out for the waves. "I should come here more often," he walked along the beach and saw someone in the distance. "Could that be her?" with his hand raised up to his eyes to shield himself from the light, he quickened his pace.

 

"I see, so what are we going to do now? I hate it that we have more enemies to deal with, but judging by what he said, I doubt he was trying to call a bluff. Nobodies may be deceitful, but even they may not know what to do as well. I wouldn't be surprised that we team up just to get rid of these husks." He answered walking up to his friend and then leaned against a wall to think of what to do next.



Axel was astonished with Roxas being almost speechless, but if he had to be in his shoes his mind couldn't blame him. Was it real or was it just another memory? No, this was indeed real. His mind was not playing with him this time. He walked closer to his young friend just be sure as he patted him on the shoulder to make sure that this was in deed not an illusion. Feeling solid form of a body he took his hand away and placed it at his side. He smiled at Roxas back glad that he actually got to see him again. However, he wasn't sure if Roxas was only here for a short period of time. "I don't know. I guess I didn't pass the requirements of being reborn again. I sacrficed myself for Sora, accepted it, faded away and then...I remebered this dream where we promised to see each other again. It seem so real, you were saying something about waking up." He chuckled softly not letting his smile drop from his face. " We said good bye to each other we both disappeared.....I don't know what else happened then, but somehow, I came back ....," He bent his head low in mid sentence thinking of something else to say. "I...never got my heart back." His tone of voice low almost in a whisper forcing himself down to sit on the edge of the tower. "Perhaps I don't deserve it. Maybe I wasn't meant to have one...." He shook his head at his last comment not in a way of feeling sorry for himself just disappointed.

"Far as I know everyone else is back, but Demyx and I got in a fight while we were trying to locate Larxene and I abandoned him in order to look for you. It like chasing a dream. I wanted to see you again. Even if it is for a short while that is if you choose to go back. ." He stood up looking directly at his best friend with belief and happiness with just speaking with him again.

 

When Axel had patted him on his shoulder, it confirmed to both of them, even though the redhead may not see it, that this was indeed, real. That this was indeed, happening. And this was not a illusion or a trick of the mind that was brought in by maybe wishing for some company, or a familiar face. No...this was Axel. The real Axel. And he was standing here with him. He was barely getting out of the shock he was in at seeing his best friend again, when he had witness his death, and their last final goodbye. No...that's right, not a final goodbye. But, a promise. A promise to meet again. His cerulean eyes quivered as he smiled, gazing intently at the man beside him. With him. It was surreal. And a quench in his chest unleash a spurt of gladness, that spreaded through his veins and warmed his body, knowing that they found one another. They saw each other. It was indescribable, but, it was the type of feeling that made a person want to jump up and down, though he had more control on that. Roxas just nodded at his words, agreeing and acknowledging that fact, however, he noticed something was off with his tone, and it was made clear by his next sentence. The happiness turned into a sort of pang, frowning a little, sympathetic to the situation Axel found himself in, and never really getting his Heart back. He was aware how much that meant to the fire wielder, so it concerned and pained him to see him so disappointed. He had also admitted that the rest of the Organization members were back, by some force, and he wondered and was curious of how, when and why, but he didn't want to waste the time they had with each other on such, while important, matters. They will be attended to, and whatever it was, he knew it was to be investigated soon once Sora, and the rest, found it. Maybe the King already was on to this development. So, no, he didn't want to mull, or break things down, or worry, as each minute was precious. Can he go back with him? He was sure Sora wouldn't mind his company, as he had helped. Roxas...really...didn't want to be separated again...Axel was the only left that was real, other than Naminé.

He sighed mournfully, closing his eyes as he looked down into the steep ground below, only to reopen them with a sort of sadness in their gleam. Before, he didn't know what to say, or how to act, But now, he found himself automatically rasping, "No...you deserve one... and you'll get one. It just...maybe...coming back to life as a Nobody may have prevented it...?" He wasn't too positive on what he was saying, but he remembered clearly when he said to the others, that Axel was not dead nor had he disappeared, he was to return back to his original self. He didn't know why he had known such a fact...just that he did. It was felt. What was it that stopped that process? It somewhat also interested him that Demyx was around, and so was Larxene....though he really never had the chance to truly get to know her or anything, which was odd, as she was the one that sat next to him by order of chairs. She had a bit of a attitude, and had a strong personality that was almost kind of...overboard from what he remembered. He didn't have any negative opinions on her, however. Standing there soundlessly for a while, he then asked, more of a mutter than before, carefully, "Are you...planning to do anything...?"


She didn't know how long she had been here. It felt like hours, upon hours, and she had found herself dozing off a few times, more so because of the peaceful and serene atmosphere, the darkness of the night, the moonlight, and the sounds of the soft waves crashing upon the shore that came to her ears as a gentle lullaby. She never knew just how the beach, when it was empty, and silent, was such a wonderful place to relax, letting all the tension and troubles out with the caressing breeze. The only thing that kept her from fully sleeping is her, while not that heated, debate on the Organization, and what she was going to do. She couldn't stay here forever. Larxene sighed, weighing the pros and cons, as well as repeating and going over the previous reasons of why she left. Nothing there. She had no one there. Maybe Marluxia, but, who really knew about him? Humming to herself once more as she went into deep deliberation, her hand that she had flat on the sand to support her suddenly got poked by something. Something moving. She froze. Only to then snatch it back to her in surprise as she got startled, when she felt the movement even more apparent and harder, and she stared with wide eyes at the spot, finding a...whatever it was, coming out of a tiny hole. However, when she glanced around, this wasn't the only place where it was happening, as she then saw many other little sand holes being pulled apart by whatever they were, and alarmed, she leaped to her feet, backing away from now the abundance of these things everywhere near. What popped out from there made her feel quite embarrassed, but also made her mouth gape in wonder as the teeny baby turtles began to struggle to get out out of their craters, just hatched. She saw their little "feet" and "arms" wobbling and swinging as they tried to get into the water. Checking them all, she saw one particular one having a hard time, so bending down, she just slightly poked her finger under its belly as cautiously and as softly as she could possibly do, and lift it a bit for it can get moving more. It worked, as it joined the rest of its siblings to charge into the waves, and she moved back with a slight amused expression as they fought to get in there. It wasn't long before some started reaching the water, and were getting swept away, yet, she stayed there looking at them all, really enthralled, not having ever seen this event before. If she was any other girl, she would be mumbling how cute and adorable they all were. But she's wasn't, so she just simply smiled, watching, getting into the sea being just one of the dangers that laid ahead of them. Abandoned by their mother, left to wander the world alone and go through the survival of the fittest, avoiding any preys. Many are born, less than that make it. It was such a horrible existence, in a way. You had to plunder and battle your way through, with no one there, no one to teach, no one to reach, all by yourself in the world of risk and hazards. Independent from the moment they first get out of their eggs. She found she actually admire the birth and the symbolism these very small turtles, barely knowledgeable, have to do to make it without anybody to guide them, and she hoped...they will be alright. Cool and cruel she may be, but this whole experience presented her with a understanding that she herself had. It spoke to her, and it boggled her that these babies were just...left on their own.

Bye bye baby turtles...

She eyed the three that were still lagging, the others already gotten to the depth of the ocean, she supposed, and she started giving them another little push delicately to get them going, the waves kind of floating them back in and out, and shifting them. They were okay, however, as they got far to the point where they weren't push backwards enough to make it to land, and they just kept trudging on, farther, and farther...and she remained there looking at the things until her senses picked up the rift in the air of a portal opening: the main point of how you can know the presences of others when they are coming, or are here. Narrowing her aquatic eyes, now alert, her brain began wiring and chugging on how to get out of this predicament, wondering if they sent for her. Why, she could not know, as she wasn't very much of use to Xemnas, especially when he was chauvinistic, and didn't think highly of females as fighters. Not knowing exactly what member was it, as some did overcame her strength, like Xaldin, or Saïx, she conjured up a portal herself, and got out of the vicinity as quickly and as quietly as the wind, to a random world that she could think of to give herself time to build up a strategy. Larxene didn't know how she didn't process the fact that she could be hunted down, and she was enjoying this glimpse of freedom too much that she had left out that this wasn't really permanent. She didn't want to go back...she really didn't.

 

"I think what we need to do is research more about this new nuissance called the husks and find more about them. It just doesn't make sense otherwise why the nobody would want to work with us if he didn't see them as a big threat," Cloud starrted to walk away. "Let's back to our headquaters and research this new threat."

Seeing the traces of her visage disappear, he ran up to her calling her name hoping she at least heard his voice. "Wait Larxene its me Demyx!" he yelled feeling depressed that she had gone. "Why did she leave like that? I didn't do anything to her? " he sat on the beach where she had been and sniffed the air memorizing her scent as the breeze picked up. He starred at the tiny footprints that had been turtles wash away with the sand. "I should of ran faster and now I don't even know where she is at?" he sighed hoping she would come back to the castle. He was alone once more. Axel was gone and he had no one to talk to. Disappearing into a void he conjured up, he returned to the castle and searched for Xemnas in the castle. "Boss? I need to talk to you please," he called wanting someone to speak to of his troubles. Perhaps Xemnas would listen of his encounter with the female nobody and maybe he would give him a lead of where to find her and bring her back. "Boss! Please I don't know where you're at and I hope I'm not bothering you, but it's important," he called to him again.

 

Leon nodded as he followed his friend. "It seems to me that they are desperate to defeat this new enemy, but don't have any kind of stragedy in the meantime. We may be forced to help them if we have no choice." He pulled out his lap top and started scrolling through the database.


Axel didn't meet Roxas gaze for awhile as he pondered on what to say to the younger nobody. He knew that he wanted a heart, but he could sense that perhaps Roxas may have one now. He wasn't sure of how that process went when you join back with your other self. "I am not sure what had happened, but I did come back.....maybe because I missed seeing you and I couldn't let it go. But I did let go and accepted my fate." His eyes clouded with depression. He admitted not sure if that was the truth or not, but he didn't want to give the younger one false hope. His eyes darted across to look at the sunset for a second until they went right back to Roxas. The fire wielder was mixed up now, he couldn't stay here forever, but what was his purpose now? The organization or should he just forget about going back and stay somewhere else....Larxene had run off, so why shouldn't he? What about Demyx? No, he wouldn't want to speak to him not the way he treated him.


"I don't really have any direction except I wanted to teach Larxene a lesson, but I wanted to come and find you first. I am glad that you are real and not a figment of my phantom emotions." He smiled a bit, but then it faded away as if sympathic for his next words to ring strong to know if Roxas was only here to say good bye and see him one last time or was he going to live back his own existance. He had no idea where he was living now, but he knew that it wasn't Twilight Town, if he had to guess it could be Destiny Island since a memory seem to reflect him with that answer. "It is your choice, have you ever thought of coming back? However, before you answer this...how does it feel to have a heart?" His tone a little more softer now as he wanted Roxas to be honest and to know if the one thing that he wanted was even worth the whole existance.

 

Xemnas took the disc out as the download was complete, making certain he got every file and informatin he coud grasp his hands unto for further exploration about what was happening. What he was more curious to find out was how they came back, as it was not by him or his power, and none of what he had discovered fully answered that burning question. There was something, a force, a unknown entity that had done this, someone was responsible for making them come back, as it could not just happen by itself and for its own natural volition. Possibly the first step to solving it was to explore this new group that had taken hold of their territory, and to somehow make certain to find every Organization member, and hold a gathering underground away from anyone's eyes. In private. It would be foolish to act now when they had no idea what was it they were truly facing, le alone lack the man power to deal with it.

He got mildly distracted when he had sensed, or heard a voice, call his name, and he knew who it belonged to due to the familiar aura, but he ignored it for the while, considering it was not the exact time to appear. He will only make his existence present when he decided when they would all meet once more, after all was said and done. He was not positive how the rest of the members will take on seeing each other again with all the inner problems that they all had dealt with.



Roxas had simply listened, give his ear, to have Axel let out his, he would say emotions, but there were still so many questions about Nobodies to understand that he wasn't even certain himself. He didn't know whether to smile at Axel's honest words, or feel sad for him, as he seemed too disappointed, and more depressed that he didn't have his Heart. He breathed, gazing at the redhead with soft eyes, trying to piece things together. So, the Organization was back, which could either be a problem again, or they just came back to simply live and let live. Larxene was here. Demyx was here. And he did not know what to do. A part of him, deep down, didn't want to share this news with Sora and the others when he came back, with loyalty to Axel more than anything if he was with them, and he was giving him this information, but, he also didn't know what would happen to the universe if he just let things go on the way they were as of the moment. And that was bothering him now. He only got snapped out of his troubling thoughts when his friend had posed a question about him, and he didn't reply immediately as he pondered about it. What did it feel like to have a Heart? He didn't...feel as different as he did before he joined with Sora, and he didn't know how to state this as best as possible either. "Well...honestly, it doesn't feel like much of a change. It's hard to describe. But as I said before here once...whether it was in our mind, that...maybe a Heart is something you can't see. But...it hadn't really affected me. I'm still the Roxas I was before...but I'm sure is a great thing, because, I do kind of think I express more emotion now...and it doesn't appear as it's coming out of nowhere." He eyed the redhead quite seriously, though there was that comfort between long time companionship that made the mood more laidback. It was just now that he had to have a sort of respond to all the things in the air that he was debating about inside, and he had to put them together and see where he will go from here. "I'm very happy that this time you're real too. I needed someone to talk to. I actually don't know why I am out of Sora either. It just...happened. I tried to make a logical explanation out of it, but even that is faulty. I took advantage of it anyway, so I came here, back to my life. He's sleeping now, and I can't stay for long. I'm forever tied to him no matter what I do...because he's me. While I want to be free, I know what my role is, and in the end, I'm whole. And as for joining...Axel, you know why I left. I really don't know, yet, after all the past actions, I can't go back...and at the same time, it's weid that we all returned and there's no reason for it...do you think there's something more at work here?"

 

Cloud arrived back at their headquarters and booted up Leon's computer. "Okay now what kind of information can I find on this piece of junk?" he scrolled through using his finger as the mouse.


Demyx waited for a response, but nothing came. Becoming extremely frusterated he rose his voice starrtling the other lower nobodies that guarded the halls and the grounds of the castle. "Oh come on answer me. I need to know more about what is going on? Can I least do something? I've been trying to find Larxene and I thought I saw her, but then she disappeared the moment before I got to her to who knows where. This new threat could be attacking us and we wouldn't even know it. I lost Axel somewhere in Twilight Town and he hasn't come back. I don't know where everyone else is, but I've been trying to get the ones who left back here so you can tell us more about what is going on." He paced down the halls wondering what to do next. "I mean what could you possibly be doing to ignore the plea from one of your members who is trying to help? Would you rather I mess up the castle because that can be arranged. Then you'll have no choice, but to answer me," he hoped his threat would get a response to the Superior. "I'm just trying to be useful like you wanted me to be, but now you're forcing me to go back to some old habits of mine." Walking along side of the wall, he knocked over a structure of their symbol. "Oops my bad," he stepped over it.

 

"Hey this stuff is not junk. It is state of the art technology." Leon scolded his friend as he pulled up a chair to look at the resources as well. "Just be patient with this."


Axel scratched his head and left it to side with his knee still perched up to his chest to support his weight on the clock tower. His mind slowly tracking in the use of Roxas with the kind of answers he was receiving as he didn't know how to explain this to him. He was slightly disappointed that Roxas wasn't going to stay with him. Which again brought back memories of him leaving the organization and then it had changed the red head making him more irritable, lonely, and not wanting to be near anyone. Though he concentrated on Demyx as he thought he could understand him, but with the fight and everything else was going on, and being away, he didn't go far as to fully trust him yet as the mullet haired sitar player was getting into his personal background with Twilight Town which he didn't want to explain to him about. He had no idea where he had gone off to, knowing he wasn't chasing after him anymore which was a relieve to him. He nodded his head slowly at Roxas as if deep in thought or that he understood the answer though his mind was not really accepting it. Nor would his heart if he ever got one. He wondered what Roxas was thinking and would of come back to this place, but he decided it was just a memory he wanted to hold on to. "Far as I know that is all I know about the heart, but it has to be something else.....perhaps a forgotten memory, or suppose I do have a heart locked away some place. I don't know..., but at least you have yours." He smiled sadly letting his hand ruffle the younger one's hair, as he pulled it away. Silence was overtaking him for a few minutes except letting the cool breeze air soar on his blades of red. "Some husks creatures are at work, but the superior has been to confided to his secret room that he doesn't want to be bothered in the whole thing." He turned his head to look at him. "It doesn't matter because you already made up your mind to stay with the chosen one. Though I ask if you are happy with this kind of life now."
As he waited for the answer he began poundering himself if a heart was really worth the trouble to be whole again. He had heard Roxas side of it, though he was now trapped in a way with Sora. The freedom would be fine, but what about the memories would they all fade into darkness as well? Would Axel really want to become complete in order to lose of what he was now. That was their goal to gain their heart back now he wasnt really sure that wanted one.

 

((So I attempted to read through every post, but I'm still not sure just how completely accurate this post is.))

Serenity gasped as the swirling grey surrounded them. Dancing about in their own manner. She reached to her back to find she had left her bow and arrows back at her camp. She grabbed the dagger from its sheath at her thigh holding it out, knowing it was of little use to her. "What now?" She asked Advent seeing the creatures had the only other way blocked out as well. Serenity reached out for any previous knowledge of what she might have done in previous times. But nothing came to mind. She heard two men's voices and thought to cry out for help only to notice that a few moments later they seemed to dissapear. And just as quickly as the husks had appeared they seemingly dissapeared.

 

(OOC: So I went ahead and updated the characters you wanted broken-wings-don't fly. I'm also known as Luxuria one of the Saligia to get this rpg rolling.)

Cloud in his mind still knew that the technology Leon was using was a piece of junk for sometimes the system would crash and it became an annoyance. Anytime he wanted to look up some information there was a screen that popped up detecting some sort of virus and all of these X rated pop ads would come forth and litter the screen with them. "Hey Leon ever heard of a good security measure such as getting a more advanced firewall and virus blocker?" He leaned in the seat, keeping his eyes off the monitor hoping that the content would eventually fade into a black screen as the screen saver. If that took to long he would turn the monitor off.

Little did Cloud know in another world ruled by the Salgia, one of the members known as Luxuria was creating the havoc. This creature that was worse than a heartless and a nobody was having fun and hoping to draw weary victims into the net brought on by these ads and use their method of different kinds of lust for each measure.

Demyx was getting impatient and bored as he felt he was speaking to the wall. He knew the boss was somewhere and who knew what he was doing. The only thing on the nocturne's mind was trying to find the other members and since he had no idea where Larxene had escaped off to, he decided to bug the boss instead. Destroying a statue hopefully would get his attention. "Oh come on boss you want to keep up this game? Please can we just talk?" He asked out loud. "I don't know what you're doing, but earlier their was this threat and they looked real different then heartless. I don't know what happened to them, but we should find more about these things unless you want me to wreck the castle out of boredom," he hinted with a smirk in an nonchalant manner.

 

"Okay." Serenity pressed a hand against the wall and walked slowly down the basement stairs. In reallity it probably didn't take that long, but for the fact that she was still waiting for something to jump out of nowhere and attack her, it seemed like it took hours to reach the first basement area. She coughed into her fist as the dust rose from the floor. "It smells as if something died in here."


Aerith smiled as she walked towards the castle. She had heard Cloud and Leon talking on the comlink earlier, which could only mean he was back in town. She had been out when she'd heard them talking, taking care to see that everyone was settling in alright. She wrapped her hands a little tighter around the wicker basket and continued on her way. She walked slowly up the ramps, she knew where they would be if they were even here. "Hey Leon ever heard of a good security measure such as getting a more advanced firewall and virus blocker?" She stopped for a moment and then continued into the room, "Your back." She noted the way he was casually spread out, she also noticed the purple green bruises that were healing on his body and the weary look in his eye. "I've got some warm rolls if you'd like some." She gestured towards the basket in her hand. Then she looked at the computer and flushed, "Um if I was interupting something I can always come back later..."

Yuna floated on her back boredly, "The whole day has passed and we've managed to do nothing." Rikku nodded, "Nothing, we didn't even find one piece of treasure." Paine sighed, "Annoying people would have been ore productive." Rikku's ears perked up, "Well, how about we aggravate the first person who passes!" Yuna shrugs, "That is if someone passes Rikku." She began to bounce up and down, "We could always find someone!" "Well here comes Yuffie." Paine pointed out. "Yippee!" Rikku cried out. And off they went.

Yuffie groaned, all she wanted to do was get into the castle after a long day of practicing and do nothing. But of course half way there she would be found by the miniature gullwings and become their current infatuation to annoy. "Leviathen what did I ever do to you miscreants?!" She cried out.

 

Serenity ran her fingers against a wall, "If it's rusted, why don't you do the thing that you did to the gate." Even though dark she could see every inch of the room. Her blood red eyes were attuned to the dark, so she noted how there were crumbled rusting remains in the corner Advent had gestured towards.
