Valinton suddenly felt himself being pulled back somewhere. His limbs were held down and he frantically tried getting free. His head turned to see Natana and suddenly his chest was sliced open from the gashes she had made. He cried out in agonizing pain and suddenly he felt something reach into his chest. Wide eyed he saw that Natana had ripped his heart out. Valinton was there now hardly able to breathe as he coughed up blood and frantically wheezed. He was thrown out of the corridor next to Kaya and he weakly tried to get up, only to fall back down. The hole in his chest was letting all of his blood pour out of him. Valinton's vision was beginning to black out and he weakly turned his head to Kaya as his vision finally became fully black and he felt his life leave his body.
Valinton glared at Dead, "What do you need the money FOR exactly..?" He asked sternly. He was beginning to lose more and more patients, he didn't have time for this... Why was he still here?! "I need you to help me find a boy. A masked boy that looks like this." He said as he pulled out a picture of Caleb, however he had the mask on his face. It was a security camera photo so it wasn't the best picture he had but it was good enough. He handed it to Dead hoping she had seen someone like this somewhere. Ethel looked down with a small smile feeling happy she impressed Damnation. She was taken by surprise when a tiger suddenly appeared and took Doku. She didn't have enough time to react in order to attempt to stop the tiger with her abilities, for it had already run off. Seeing that Zylen had already taken off after them, she didn't go after them herself. Ethel turned to Damnation seeing that he was quite furious. She stood there not sure what to do, "Um.. Should I go after them too..?"
"Gexln!" Xero jerked awake as she gasped and quickly sat up with wide eyes. She frantically looked around, panting, and saw R standing over her as Gexln was somewhere else. Xero suddenly felt different, something about her felt... lighter. Almost as if a giant weight had just been taken off of her. She looked back up at R, "He's... He's gone... Ansem is..." She began to smile and laugh out of happiness, "He's gone!" She quickly stood up and tightly hugged R, "Ansem's gone!" She exclaimed again and let go of R, "But... How?" She asked.
Ethel looked around at the area. It was a bit trashed after that small battle that just happened... She decided to try getting rid of the vines first and walked over to one of them. She was able to rip it from the walls and ground using her gravity abilities and crush it into a smaller thing that would be easy to throw away. She continued to do this until all of the vines were gone and walked back over to Doku's body that was twisting and tossing around. Valinton turned to glare at the girl only to see a smiling mutilated Doku. He froze with wide eyes as he stared in horror for a few moments then realized that this girl was creating illusions. This only pissed him off. Valinton grabbed the girl's neck and lifted her off the ground as he glared at her as he bared his teeth, "Don't f*ck with me you wench! I can end you right here and now if I wanted!" He threatened with a dangerous tone that said he was not messing around.
Ansem's eyes widened at both Gexln's new form and at the fact that he just suddenly appeared in front of him. It caught him off guard and Gexln was able to hit him quite a number of times before Ansem suddenly blocked one of his punches with his staff and kicked him away. Not a moment later, Ansem grabbed the unconscious Xero and floated into the air as his body began to glow a purple hue. He held one of the sharp ends of the staff to her neck as she was unable to do anything, "Take one more step and she dies..." He threatened. However he was somewhat bluffing, she was already close to dying anyway as another part of the platform burst into shattered glass and fell into the abyss. Valinton looked into the sky to see Kingdom Hearts and something come out of it. Something big and it didn't look like it was on their side either. He turned to Xepphiras and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Accepted
- RENO - Reno looked at the girl as she became a human again. He was rather impressed, "We will go tomorrow evening. Tonight we should plan things out. We can go to my place in Kikei and talk things out there." He said as he began walking in the direction of Kikei expecting the others to follow. Xero grabbed her bag of food and stood up. She looked over at Chrona, Isamu, Neko ans Hiro, "Well, let's go you guys." She said with a small smile as she began following Reno. Hiro sighed in frustration as he said nothing and began walking as well. He wasn't all sure about this Reno guy... Why did he want to know why the mafia wanted the antidote anyway..? Ethel just looked up at Damnation for a moment and then looked back down with a small relieved smile, "T-Thank you..." She said quietly, "Um... I-Is there anything else... I can do?" She asked, rather hoping he had something for her to do. Valinton began feeling jittery, he didn't have time for this, "Look, I don't have time for this. I need help finding a certain human or else Doku's going to most likely die!" He snapped in frustration at this Dead girl, "Are you going to help me or not?"
Ansem was a bit surprised to see R practically rip the Guardian away from him and chain it up. He growled and then looked to the boy named Gexln as he spoke. He raised a brow as he began insulting him then only gave him a mocking chuckle. Gexln suddenly charged at him as he went into his Anti Form. This only made Ansem laugh as Gexln began punching and kicking at him. Ansem was able to dodge them but one of the punches he miss judged and slammed into his jaw. He staggered back a bit before giving Gexln a glare and wiping off the blood from his mouth, "Do you think that just because you both wield darkness, you automatically think you match my strength?!" He asked as he jumped into the air and summoned another Soul Eater sword and connected it to the other to create a staff. Ansem's body began to glow and he held his hand out in front of him. A black sphere began to form and grow, soon he released it and the sphere broke into other smaller spheres and began to home in on Gexln. After that, the cracks on the platform began to slowly cover the floor. You could hear the glass beginning to weaken and crack. Soon enough one part of the platform burst and shattered, the pieces flying and falling into the never-ending abyss below and around. Time was beginning to run out. Valinton turned his head over to Juliet and Natana. He nodded to Kaya and stood up as he ran over to the two. Valinton pulled out his other katana and charged at Natana with both of them. When he got close enough he began to quickly slash at her.
Valinton suddenly bumped into someone as he frantically searched the Dynami district. He looked at her with a raised eye brow as she began questioning him, "I should be asking you the same thing..." he said as he continued to look at her mutated features, "And to answer your question, no I'm not new or lost, I'm Valinton. I'm also looking for someone that has a bounty on their head..." He said with a bit of a growl.
Ansem only parried the attack with the Guardian suddenly appearing in front of him. He didn't move once as R lunged at him and only gave him a smirk as he looked at R, "You think I'm here just to cling on to a small pathetic life? No... I'm only here because this girl wields a great power." Ansem suddenly released a massive shockwave of darkness from his body as a distraction and then cast a Dark Thundaga. Black lightning then shot down from the darkness above and struck multiple areas of the platform. "If only you didn't turn your back on me to help these miserable worlds and attempt to make 'peace'... We could have been kings, you and I."
Ansem suddenly hit a dark shield and the scythes bounced off, leaving him wide open. R then reached his hand into the girl's chest not a moment later and suddenly felt something beginning to pull him out. However he resisted and suddenly saw everything around him go black. Xero's body became limp and practically lifeless as R made Ansem go into the dive to the heart. The platform that appeared below Ansem, R and Gexln had Xero on it, but the glass was cracked and close to shattering. It looked as if you couldn't even stand on it without it breaking, but surprisingly it didn't all shatter once Ansem step foot on it. Xero was on the floor unconscious in the center of the platform. Ansem gave R and Gexln a glare as they descended down onto the area and smirked at R, "I see you've gotten stronger... And found your own ways to get into someone's heart."
Ansem was about to lunge at Eon but was suddenly being pulled down by Karina'a gravity magic. He tried moving but was stuck to the ground and glared at Karina. Ansem suddenly saw someone coming towards him from the corner of his eye and bent backwards a bit to dodge the punch that was thrown at him. He then swung his body forward while swinging the scythes toward Gexln, using the momentum to make the scythes hit harder. Valinton was suddenly pushed and turned to see Kaya being attacked by Natana. He was about to go to her when suddenly Juliet ran in front of him. He didn't know who this girl was but she seemed to recognize him somehow. When she attacked Natana he went over to Kaya and knelt down beside her, "Kaya, are you alright?"
Xero and Lexcifur (her's and Gexln's son) will be in it. I MIGHT bring Valinton back too but as a nobody. Haven't decided yet.
Alright, that's fine.
- RENO - Reno looked at Hiro and sighed, "Well, I'm going to need all the help I can get. So are you guys in or not?" Xero nodded, "I'll go. I haven't anything better to do." She shrugged and then looked at Neko, "You should come too. Maybe you could sneak in as a cat." Hiro crossed his arms, "I guess I'll go. And Xero's right, Neko could sneak in as a cat and possibly do something useful." Valinton slowly stood up and glared at Damnation. He then glanced down at Doku, his fists clenched from anger. He quickly turned around and exited the markets and into Dynami as he looked around for the masked boy.
Ansem looked down at Gexln with a raised eye brow and a smirk, "Please, spare me the threats." He said as he summoned Xero's scythe and pointed it at Gexln and Juliet, "The power this girl wields will give me power over the universe... even Kingdom Hearts!" Ansem then summoned a second scythe and flew toward Gexln as he swung at him but was suddenly stopped by the sound of metal against metal. Ansem looked at the man who had blocked his attack with a glare. Valinton had gotten back just in time to block Xero's attack againt Gexln. He was beaten up a bit and was hoping Kaya was close behind, "Xero, what're you doing..? He's your ally." Valinton said pushing her back away from him. He felt the girl also push back and saw her jump back a few feet. Something was off about her... The way she looked at him was different and her eyes were also very different.
Xero smiled at Gexln as he gave her the thumbs up. She reverted back to her regular form and followed everyone to the cave they were going to seal Xindai in and looked to R, "Just do it. This guy deserves no mercy for everything he's done..." She shot a glare at Xindai as she spoke. She would never forgive him for what he'd done. No one should. Her hatred for him had grown so much that she wisheled R would kill him instead of sealing him. Xero was also still baffled how Xindai was even still alive after R and her had pretty much nuked his Reality Marble. Suddenly laughter from Ansem was roaring in her head and she flinched from the pain she all of a sudden felt. She grabbed her head and everything suddenly began to turn black. Her body had fallen unconscious to the ground but in her mind she was still falling into never-ending darkness. There was suddenly a stained glass platform underneath her that had a portrait of her on it.The moment she stepped onto it, a crack had appeared and began to ever so slowly get bigger. Xero frantically looked around and suddenly saw Ansem standing a bit further away with a smirk. She wanted to move but couldn't, no matter how hard she tried; it was like something was preventing her to. She turned to see the Guardian holding her down, her eyes widened and turned back to see that Ansem was right in front of her. "What the hell are you doing?! Let me go!" Xero shouted at him but Ansem only laughed and gave her a mischievous smile, "Why? After the power I just saw you use to destroy that fool Xindai, why should I be letting you have control?" Xero looked up at him wide eyed, "W-What...?!" She then attempted to get away from the Guardian again but with no success. Ansem held her chin and forced her to look at him, "The power you just unlocked with that stone would grant me power far beyond anyone's imagination. I could control the universe... No... I'd be a god." his smile got even wider as he thought more and more and he turned to Xero once more, "So my dear, I'm afraid I'll be the one having control as you'll be imprisoned in your own mind." With that Ansem had disappeared and so had the Guardian. She fell to the floor and quickly sprawled back to her feet and frantically looked around. The cracks slowly got bigger and bigger on the platform and the only thing she could do was stand there and wait until she disappeared. Xero fell to her knees I'm defeat. In here she was powerless and weak, her abilities stripped from her just like that as Ansem was now in control. Xero's body was motionless and practically lifeless as it lied there. There was suddenly laughter coming from her, but it wasn't her laughter. It was a man's and Xero's eyes shot open. They were a glowing orange and the whites of her eyes faded to a black. Her body slowly stood up and turned to R with a maniacal grin, "Hello... Son." A dark shockwave suddenly pulsated out of Xero's body and hit anyone that was in range. Darkness suddenly surrounded Xero and she was teleported out of the cave and floated above the entrance.
