Oxyrt sat ontop of the tower at the edge, to look down below. The view from this tower was awe striking. The whole dead city was viewable from there, even though there wasn't much to see, just darkness and buildings. He was holding a dead carnation that he had pulled out of a black hole in the air before him. He looked at the carnation, and a tear ran down his cheek. A rain drop fell from the sky, and thunder sounded in the distance. Another rain drop fell onto his flower's pedal, and plumitted slowly to the ground. If Oxyrt's pants and cloak weren't already black, they would be ruined by where he was sitting. The whole top of the tower was charred and slightly damaged, and covered in debris. *Start Flashback* She was sitting on the edge of the top of the tower, looking out into the distance, destruction everywhere below. Smoke rised from the city all around them. Her silky soft black hair blew in the wind. Oxyrt grinned at the sight. He started to turn away, to reach for the knob that would open the door, to lead him to his descent, away from this place forever, he thought. "Wait," She tried to stop him. She laid a hand his shoulder. Oxyrt embraced the feeling of her touch. He turned around to face what she had to say. "I know you." She told him. "What do you mean, 'I know you'? Did you forget me, did you try to let me go?" There was a pause, as both were lost for words. "I wouldn't blame you." Oxyrt continued. He started to turn again. "No! I'm sorry it had to end like this...I love you." She told him. "Then why do you push me away," He said angrily, "why do you try to hurt me?" "I don't mean to hurt you..." She responded in a soft voice. "Well, it's too late for apologizing!" She turned her head away, "Maybe it's for the best." "Maybe this IS for the best." Oxyrt was refering to him leaving. Oxyrt was facing the door, "I don't get you..." She started crying, "I love you so much." He turned to face her one last time, everything went into slow motion. He was breathless. She was standing at the edge, arms flung out to her sides. "NOW!" a mysterious voice screamed. An explosion went off inside the door Oxyrt was standing in front of. The top of the tower shook. She lost her balance and fell off the edge. "NO!" Oxyrt screamed. He was on the floor, because of the blast, from there, he watched her fall to her death. *End Flashback* The rain was falling harder, and the thunder louder. "Nalexga..." He wispered under his breath. Oxyrt looked down and saw Wing, and Xegreny below, at the base of the tower. The carnation disappeared back into the air, he wiped the tear from his cheek, and teleported to the ground, and followed behind the two. OOC: This took forever to write, because it was hard to find words that wouldn't make things sound completely repetitive. Plus, they were a TON of gramical errors I had to fix. I'm using a story I had written to take these flashbacks from. This story is, of course, about my character, Oxyrt. It's not done yet. I've been working on it for a year now. And the 'Top of the Tower' scene from the story, that's not a word for word thing, I basically just summed the scene up from memory. Night people!
"The Mage...Retlaw..." Yen Sid told them. "Retlaw?" Oxyrt questioned. "Yes, Retlaw is this mage in which you speak of, the one who has knowledge of the Knights." Yen Sid answered. "Master Yen Sid, can you tell us how to find this mage?" He asked again. Yen Sid paused, as if he were wondering if this group of 'Nobodies' should be allowed to obtain such valuable information, "My mind can not hold all universal knowledge, I'm not sure if I remember where it is." Oxyrt, Wing, and Karxo looked dissapointed. "But," Yen Sod continued, "there is a scroll that I have with such knowlege." Master Yen Sid slowly got out of his chair, and walked to an old, dusty chest in the corner of the room; Wing, Oxyrt, and Karxo followed. Yen Sid unlocked the chest with a magical spell, and creaked it open. The three nobodies looked in curiousity as the chest opened. Yen Sid pulled out a tattered scroll, that looked like it haven't been unravelled in years. "This is what you will need." Yen Sid handed Oxyrt the scroll. The three bowed in gratitued, "Thank you, Master Yen Sid." They made for the door as Yen Sid called out for them, "Wait!" The three listened, "Retlaw the Mage will not just give this information to anyone one freely, be ready for 'tests'." Yen chuckled, "Good lucked fellows." Oxyrt, Wing, and Karxo made their way back to the ship. "This has to have a transportation gummi." Oxyrt said as he seated himself in the driver's seat of the gummi ship. He looked across the panel as Karxo, and Wing seated themselves. "Aha!" Oxyrt smashed on a button titled, 'Warp'. "Select Your Destination." Said a voice from the ship. Oxyrt scrolled through, the options, and found and chose, 'Twilight Town - Mansion'. The ship started to shake and roar again as before. "Not again." Oxyrt and Wing thought to themselves. *POP* The ship was gone from the tower.
Wing came inside, and sat in a seat next to Oxyrt, who was still piloting the air craft. "Not bad..." he said as he leveled out. "Now, with this gummi ship, we should find these 'contacts' of Darxess's easily." Wing watched out the window as ant sized people in Twilight Town went buzzing under him. Orb: "Contacts straight ahead." Oxyrt gave a confused look, "What do you mean 'straight ahead'? I don't see a thing." Wing started looking around for a person or something floating in the air. Oxyrt looked left and right, and saw nothing. "Orb, what are you..." The gummi ship shook violently, squeaking as everything inside it moved. "Are we going down?!" Oxyrt thought as he frantically checked the gauges and fuel meter. The ship shook again sending Wing off the side of his chair. "That's why you wear a seatbelt..." Oxyrt said sarcastically. Oxyrt laughed, but was cut off as the ship violently for the last time shook, sending Wing into a wall. The lights in the ship went in and out, and the emergency lights started flashing. "WARNING, DANGER AHEAD, WARNING, DANGER AHEAD." flashed across the wind sheild of the gummi ship over and over again. Everything started glowing green, and nothing was visible outside, from any window. The ship continuously shook as if they were driving down a rough, dirt road. They felt the ship thrust forward, the speedometer went off the scale, "HOLD ON!!!" Oxyrt screamed as the engine roared and the emergency siron sounded non-stop. Wing gripped a hand railing, and Oxyrt gripped the steering. The noise of the events was unbearable. The ship grew faster, and bumpier. The siron became louder, and the light flashed brightly. *STOP!* The ship slammed to a stop and Wing flew into the windsheild, and Oxyrt almost hit his head on the steering wheel. Oxyrt looked out and saw that they were in deep space, the world known as 'Twilight Town' was nowhere to be seen. "What's that?" Wing pointed out to a tower floating on a little island in the depts of space as he got up from the floor, rubbing his bruised head. Oxyrt pulled up to the tower and parked the ship ,"Well, lets just see." Oxyrt and Wind piled out, and Karxo was still lifeless looking in the back seat. Oxyrt examined the purple tower with golden stars. "You first." Oxyrt notioned to Wing.
Wing ran into a hangar where Oxyrt was getting into a large gummi ship. Oxyrt set Karxo into a seat and buckled him in. Wing ran to Oxyrt and tried to point out what was after him, but it was too late. The large, and oversized beast of a heartless smashed a hole through the side of the hangar, and let out a ear drum smashing roar. Oxyrt and Wing covered their ears, "I guess it's time to go, then..." Wing and Oxyrt piled into the gummi ship and closed the door. The gummi ship reved up and started to lift into the air, and the heartless grabbed the tail of the ship. "Wing you take care of it, I have to keep the ship steady!" OOC: we should almost be done with this section of the story, sorry other people for taking so long.
OOC: lol, seriously? BIC: "Good, let's go!" Oxyrt picked up, and threw Karxo over his shoulder. He and wing bolted out of the cell, and down a long hallway. Oxyrt stopped Wing at a corner, and he carefully made sure no one was coming their way, and there wasn't anybody coming. "You would think someone would have heard that...oh well." Oxyrt and Wing made the corner and went down that hallway. "Where is everyone?" They past an open door without thinking about it, because it seemed that everyone was gone, but some creatures inside the open door, saw Wing, Oxyrt, and Karxo, and signaled an alarm. "Great..." Oxyrt said sarcastically.
Oxyrt faced both of his hands at the bars, "Fire!" The blue flames engulfed the bars, then he backed away as the bars were smoking hot.
Oxyrt sat up against a cold wall, and looked around as his vision blurred in and out. He shook his head, and his vision came back to him. Oxyrt got up and leaned against the bars, looking for the one who hit him on the head. "If I ever find who did this, and I will, I'm gonna kick their @$$ so hard!" Oxyrt said in an angry tone of voice. He tapped the bars, and listened to the ringing sound that came from them, "Steel." Oxyrt proclaimed, "They couldn't have made it easier." He turned to Wing, Karxo. Karxo was still on the ground unconscious. "Wing, if I use my fire to half-way melt these bars, then you can use your wind to freeze it over, making them easy to break through. I know, 'why not just melt them?' The fumes released from this kind of steel would be intoxicating, and...messy. Ready Wing?"
Zexion looked around, everyone was either sitting, or laying around on the ground. *sighs again* "I'll go..." Zexion walks into the McDonalds and shoftly pretends to shout, "Oh, Demyx where are you, blah blah blah. Oh well guess he's not here." As he starts to walk out, he slips on some water, and then looks to the right and sees a tiny wet floor sign. "Oh great, this is a new cloak."
Zexion let out a sigh, "Okay. Hey, Demyx is taking a long time with that McDonalds!"
OOC: I just thought of a way to go with this whole thing, Neo, and Dual, PM me, and I'll let you know to see if you both like the idea. OOC: okay, Neo, or Dual can start this new plot.
"Maybe there are good things to..." Oxyrt heard a footstep behind him. Before he could turn around, he was bashed on the head, and everything went white, then black. Wing, and Karxo were also attacked, and were dragged across the ground by ugly looking little creatures. "...come..." OOC: I just thought of a way to go with this whole thing, Neo, and Dual, PM me, and I'll let you know to see if you both like the idea.
"All I found was this picture in a white room," Oxyrt pulled the now crumpled picture from his pocket, and exchanged it for the keychain from Wing. "Hm, a thalassa shell lucky charm, someone gave me one a long time ago, but I...lost it..." (Flashback: Oxyrt was sitting on a hillside under the moon, crying histarically, and holding a thalassa shell lucky charm tightly in his right hand. He stood up and through it off the mountain, "You B!t@h!") Oxyrt snapped out of his horrible memory and handed the key chain it back to Wing.
Oxyrt leaped off the side of the building and landed on one of the many piles of nobody ashes, "I don't who, or what did this. I don't even know where to start looking in this place."
"Where should we start?" Zexion stepped back and looked at the land, or air in which the were building on, or in. "Building on air, ah, what a weird concept. Are you sure this is what Xemnas called for?"
Oxyrt continued fighting, then heard what sounded like an engine reving up. As lighting being one of Oxyrt's main abilities, he could feel oncoming electric charges from anywhere. He felt an electric charge coming fast from under their feet, he couldn't stop the charge, the force was way too strong for even a master in lightning to control. "JUMP ONTO SOMETHING!" Oxyrt yelled to the others. Oxyrt jumped to the side of a nearby building, dug his sword into the concrete, and hung there. He felt the electricity charging right up through the ground, and hit the surface. All the nobodies were struck. To Oxyrt, it looked like a christmas tree, or light display.
"I dont't Know!" Oxyrt replied as he deflected a couple of quick blows from some samurai nobodies. Oxyrt stabbed one through the stomach, then turned around and cut one's head clear off and it fell lifeless to the floor. "What happened to nobodies listening to their masters?! Ever since that war years ago, it's been every man, or nobody, for themself!" Oxyrt bashed one in the head, backflipped over one coming up on him from behind and stabbed it in the back, "HA!" Oxyrt kept deflecting and stabbing, as more nobodies pressed in on them, "Where's Wing?!"
OOC: I thought we were in the world that never was before, that's how we stepped into betwix and between. I was thinking it be a new city to explore.
"Wing! Karxo!" Oxyrt shouts for the others to come down to the main floor, "I don't think there is much else here for us to find." Oxyrt waits for the two for about five minutes, then he hears a creaking noise under his feet. He knelt down and put his ear to the floor. *Crackk, crunchh, squeakkk, CRACKKK* Oxyrt jumped up quickly and try to move to the side, but the floor cracked under his right foot, and tirpped onto his back. The floor, a radius of 13 feet around him fell through, and he found himself continuously falling into an even mustier, darker place then the mansion he was in before that, what seemed like thousands or more feet above his head. Oxyrt laid there and moved his neck, arms, legs, hands, feet, toes, fingers, and back, to make sure nothing was broken before he tried to stand up. He lifted himself slowly off the ground and dusted himself off. He looked around, but it was too dark to see. He walked over to what he thought was a tall street lamp. Oxyrt took out his ogre sword and jumped into the air, he pointed his ogre sword at the lamp, "FIRE!" The lamp, lit, then another one behind it, then another one. Lamp, after lamp, after lamp, after lamp, etc. Oxyrt fell to the ground, dumb-founded. He watched thousands of lamps light with blue flames, he looked up, "WOAH..." He was standing next to a sky scraper, it was an entire underground city.
Oxyrt walks up to another door, and kicks it open. Dust flies out at him from the room. *coughs* Oxyrt walks in and looks around. It was a white room with cob-webs everywhere. He noticed a drawing on a long white table, and walks up to it. The rough drawing was of thousands of men and women of all different ages, all wearing black cloaks. Oxyrt folds and pockets the picture, "It feels like the white coloring of this room, is covering up alot of sadness." Oxyrt walks out, and down the stairs to the main floor. OOC: I'm gonna be gone for a couple of hours, drivers ed crap. I'll be back as soon as I can, just don't forget that I'm taggin along! Cya guys!
Oxyrt walks out the room, up some stairs, and through another door, to find himslef on the rafter of a large room. "Hm, musty..." Oxyrt exclaims.
