Xero only stared at the R replica with sadness; this was one of the things she feared would happen and felt horrible for it. She then took a deep breath then looked at R again, "I'm so sorry..." She said, her voice sad yet determined. Xero stepped forward toward R, then walking became running, her scythe held in her hand ready to attack. When she was close enough R had suddenly disappeared and was now behind her. Xero quickly flung her body to face the other way and block the blade R had used to try and stab her with. She was able to parry with him once again, push his sword to the ground, flip over him, and when R got up Xero gave him a roundhouse kick against his head. R fumbled backwards but quickly recovered and manifested a new weapon, a chained cycle. He twirled it around a bit before flinging it toward Xero, but she dodged it. He only kept trying to fling it at her and finally she had to block it with her scythe. Bad idea. The chain wrapped around the hilt of her scythe and R yanked the weapon from her hands, disarming her in the process. Xero stood there wide eyed, her scythe was now in the hands of the enemy. R then dissipated the chained weapon and held Xero's scythe, seemingly testing it out before charging at her with it. Xero was practically frozen in place with no idea what to do now. "Reflectiga!" She cried just as R swung the scythe at her and it simply bounced off the shield. R kept hitting the shield over and over, the reflectiga beginning to crack. Xero was beginning to panic, without her scythe she was basically useless. You can't go hand to hand with someone with a giant blade. 'Don't be afraid...' A voice appeared in Xero's head and she nearly lost focus in the fight from it. 'This is the manifestation of one of your fears, is it not...? ' Xero just stood there rather confused. Manifestation? This isn't the real R? 'It is the first part of your trial... To fight your fears... How do you plan to help your friend once he is consumed by Him...? Surely you don't plan to kill him because of it... Do you...? Xero's eyes widened, she had to find a way to help R, but how the hell was she to do what he did before? She didn't have that kind of magic or abilities. She had to find an alternative... Pushing the overwhelming darkness out of him. She had to fight Ansem himself. R had swung the scythe and the reflectiga suddenly shattered, leaving Xero exposed to any form of attacks now. She leapt out of the way of the oncoming blade and skidded to a stop, only to have R charge toward her immediately after. Xero quickly began throwing blizzigas at R's feet, making him frozen to the ground. Once that was done, Xero ended up kicking the scythe out of R's grip and then her hands began to glow a fiery aura. She pushed up on her legs and her hands hit against R's chest as she came upward, "Release!" Xero shouted a spell command and immediately after a dark pulse shot throughout R's body and caused something to fly outward from the back of R. The manifestation of R faded away and revealed Ansem behind him, his face full of anger. Xero picked up her scythe from the ground and glared at the Ansem manifestation that stood before her, "I'm not running away this time..." She said quietly to herself, "I'll beat you into the cold, hard ground!"
Xero felt the beam enter her chest and saw what was left of her heart manifest in front of her. It didn't necessarily hurt her, it just felt really weird. Soon everything turned black and she saw a stained class platform appear below her. It had her portrait on it with and she slowly lowered into it as she looked around. Xero saw the others around her with quite a gap between them and her and what she guessed was the X-Blade in the center. She then saw the three doors appear in front of her and she walked up to one of them. It had a shield on it and she hesitantly opened it, not sure what she was going to see beyond it. Once she opened the door the scenery had changed after a blinding light flew outside the door. Xero uncovered her eyes to look around and saw that she was standing in mid air in front of the Twilight Town clock tower. She looked around even more confused and began to cautiously take a few steps toward the clock tower, but suddenly stopped to see someone appear standing on the edge of the tower. Her eyes suddenly went wide as she immediately recognized who it was, "R?!" As if on cue, R suddenly darted toward her and attempted to attack, but Xero was able to parry with him just in time and was knocked back a few feet. She just looked at R with confusion and hurt, "W-What're you doing?! I thought we were forging the X-Blade?" R said nothing and only continued to attack her but Xero could only dodge his attacks. She was able to parry with him once again and saw that his eyes weren't his own. Her eyes widened even more and she quickly jumped away as soon as she saw the unmistakable orange irises, "Ansem... possessed you...?"
Xero only gave Gexln a smirk for she knew that she won the argument if he was just simply quitting like that. Her expression then became serious as Ananta accused R of sacrificing them all, "R wouldn't do such a thing." She said, "Besides, like Gexln said, he would've already killed us when he had the chance. Hell, he could kill us all right now if he wanted to."
Xero listened to Gexn as he too began to complain and went on about how he had done so much for her. As true as all of it was, it still didn't mean he could go around starting pointless fights. She too could hear the annoyance in his voice and after he finished she could've sworn she heard him mumble something about women. Xero was about to retort but then he suddenly apologised; which was a bit surprising to her. "But...I can try to control it a little better if you like" Xero just looked at Gexln for a moment in bewilderment. She then sighed and looked at him with a small frown, "Why don't you ever give me a reason to stay mad at you...?" Xero then crossed her arms with a smirk, "Plus, there were a few times where I saved your ass too." She then began to list the numbers on her fingers, "Like that one time where that Caleb guy was about to slash you with an axe; I just saved you from letting Xindai brainwash you by making you realize what he'd do once you weren't useful anymore; and hon, if you think getting stabbed in the chest is painful, try getting stabbed four times by your own crazy, power hungry sister..."
Xero gave Gexln a glare before grabbing his wrist and dragging him to the main hall, "Now would be a really good time to shut up Gexln." She said to him through gritted teeth. Xero was just as annoyed as R about the pointless battle that just happened and she wasn't going to let it slide... Once at the main hall, she let go of Gexln's wrist and crossed her arms with a frown, "You better not start acting up again or I swear to God I'll kill you myself." Xero mumbled to him with annoyance in her voice.
Xero clenched her fist at the chaos that soon started because of the two idiots fighting with umbrellas. She quickly turned around and ran to go get R, "Maybe he can actually talk some sense into these fools." She said to herself, skidding to a stop as she found R, "R, you really need to break up this fight that's going on! It's getting out of hand and we dont have time for this!" Almost as soon as she finished her sentence, the roof of the building was blown off and everything else was engulfed in flames.
Xero's expression quickly changed from anger to utter disbelief and confusion, "W-What're you doing?" She studdered as she saw Gexln's eyes start to water, "Q-Quit it! T-That's not gonna work if you're trying to get me to feel bad for making you stop trying to kill everyone!" Xero felt a lump form in her throat as she wasn't used to Gexln trying to be cute or pettied or whatever the hell it was he was trying to do right now.
As Xero was about to listen to R's response, she suddenly saw Gexln and Beuce sparring with each other then frowned as she began marching over to Gexln. Right before Gexln could fire his attack, she grabbed his scarf and yanked his body to face her, causing the attack to miss his target. Xero pulled Gexln's face close to hers as she began yelling at him, "What the hell do you're doing?! We've already had enough people die in this war and you're gonna be next if you don't even try to control yourself!" She threatened him even though she knew it was a rather feeble attempt; threatening Gexln only seemed to make his ego get bigger as he would then show off soon after. Xero glared at Gexln for a moment after scolding him hoping to get the message straight before letting go of his scarf
Xero gave a suspicious glare at the woman and followed her and R to the office. It was basically nothing but a giant library in her eyes and she had no idea what exactly she needed to look for about the X-Blade; so she left that bit up to R. Soon enough he started rummaging through the books and found what he was looking for. She listened to him as he read the passage out loud and then only looked confused as R said that they had what they needed, "W-Wait, what? Hold on R," she said as she looked at the book herself, "First, where are we going to find someone willing to wield this thing? Isn't it also supposed to be pretty dangerous to use?" Xero looked at R with a questioning glance.
Once R stepped through, she glanced at Ananta then gave her a slight nod before entering the corridor herself. Once she was through, she looked around the abandoned courtyard and then up at the dark, cloudy sky. It was just the same as how she had seen a while ago while fighting within Xindai's Reality Marble. The area sent chills down Xero's spine while remembering when Xindai held her and Kaxar hostage to probe their minds for information. Xero staggered behind R as he made his way into the castle; the inside wasn't exactly as she imagined but close to it. She held her scythe close and when R stopped her, Xero held her guard. If there was someone here,they'd better hope they aren't any of Xindai's minions; she would dispose of them once she found out. "I have an idea," Xero began, "how about I use Armageddon and obliterate the place? It'd be like a reenactment of the Reality Marble, except to the real thing..." She said coldly, not caring what happens to this godforsaken world.

Xero sighed rather loudly in response to R, but she knew that she had to help with whatever this X-Blade was. She opened a corridor leading to Inwonahe, but before she entered she summoned her scythe due to possible paranoia. Xero looked at R and said, "I think... You should go first..." She said looking at the ground, ashamed of herself for being afraid of a place, "I don't exactly know what's there but I just think I'd be better if you went first."
Xero followed R down to the hidden library and was astonished by how many books were there. When R asked her if she wanted to go back to where Xindai held her captive, she nearly flinched. Of course she didn't want to go back, but if there was something there that they needed she may not have a choice. Xero sighed, "If there's actually something we need there I guess I don't have much of a choice, do I?" She crossed her arms as she spoke and made a small frown.
God dammit I thought it was the morning one Ugh I'll fix it later
Valinton noticed the other two heading a different direction, "Idiots!" He said to himself. As he neared the Colossian he noticed it was distracted and quickly hid behind another building. He thought he saw someone on its back. He took out his phone and held it out toward the monster with just his hand, not letting himself be seen and snapped a photo. When he looked at the picture he saw two people - or mutants - in its back. He frowned as he recognized them as Damnation and someone else. He then noticed an icon that popped up saying he had a voice message. It was from Doku. He looked at it confused as it was rather recently sent. He looked back at the Colossian and ran behind a few other buildings then listened to the message. She was safe at home apparently. Valinton let out a sigh of relief and put his phone away. His fists clenched as he looked back toward the Colossian once again. "Change of plans Stephen" he said to himself, assuming that the telepath was currently reading his thoughts, "I'm going after Damnation." - COLOSSIAN - Colossian glared at Damnation as he boldly decided to try and take his food. He began to throw a fit and start slamming his back against buildings in attempt to knock the mutant off his back.
Xero looked at the book R was reading as he showed her. She rose an eye brow at it then looked at R, "Well, remember those guys we fought back in Radient Guarden? They came here looking for Gexln saying that they want to help us defeat Omega. They also said something about wanting to help spread the word to other worlds about helping."
Xero thought for a moment and then decided that she would go and help R with whatever he was doing. She walked out of the building she was in and headed toward the library. Soon enough she found R looking through piles of books for something. Xero raised an eye brow at the scene and walked over, "What's got you into reading..." She picked up a book and read the title. Her face had the weirdest look afterwards, "Fifty Shades of Darkness...?" Her eyes looked at R with a rather demeaning look and slowly set the book down while still staring at R and pretending she hadn't seen the book, "We're in the middle of a war and you're sitting here reading erotic novels... R! What the hell?!"
Xero gave the group an irritated growl as things began getting more and more hectic. Especially since Beuce suddenly ran in here with that one guy who she cut open his face earlier. Xero's patience was beginning to run thin as she then saw Gexln storm off somewhere else. The group from Radient Garden couldn't have come for no particular reason so she decided that she needed to figure out why they were here. "Stop talking nonsense you idiots! What're you doing here and why?" She spoke sternly and gave the group a firm glare as she spoke, her arms crossed. There was no more time to screw around. Omega is coming and so was the second Agent, Chaos, "Don't give me a bunch of side crap, get to the point! If you haven't noticed, the universe is literally about to end."
- COLOSSIAN - Colossian felt something land on his back and he turned around and growled very loudly at Damnation and Zylen. He became even more aggressive when things touched him while eating. Colossian attempted snapping at Damnation and Zylen but his neck wouldn't bend back far enough to reach him where he was. He then began shaking his back and violently moving around. Ethel shook her head, "No.. but I am quite tired.." she said as she began to nod off with her head propped on her hand.
Ethel looked at Dead and then back at the ground, "I'm not sure what we should do. I mean, I don't know if there's a food place here.. and the other food places in the city are surely closed." She began messing with a lock of hair. Valinton gave Stephen another glare. He was slowly getting more and more irritated with him as he kept giving him "threats" about this and that. His phone began ringing but he didn't hear it and didn't pick up. He was too preoccupied with the giant mutant they were about to face. He saw Beuce already head out and head toward the Colossian. He turned back to Caleb and Stephen, "You need to stay close to me at all times as we face that thing. If we split up, there's no doubt that it'll go after one of you and then devour you." He said as he pulled out both of his swords and began walking out of the home. He figured they would follow and he then began running toward the sound of thunderous footsteps and roars on the rooftops. - COLOSSIAN - The nearly invisible colossal mutant was lured into Dynami by the sent of blood from Damnation's recent killings. He followed the sent until he got to a pile of bodies north of the base. His invisibility cloak had dissipated and he was now fully visible as he walked closer to the bodies. He lowered his head to smell them and then moments later he began feasting on the buffet that was literally laid out for him.
