Demyx hoped he knew what he was doing as he leaned closer to Xemnas so only he could hear. "What I really wanted to say boss is that I have been having memories of who I was before I came who I am and well I see you like a father figure in my life. I know it's weird and all, but I just look up to you more then just my boss. That was the reason for me touching your shoulder like that because I want to seek your guidance." He turned away feeling ashamed he had just admitted something so dear to him and he wondered how Xemnas would react.
Demyx stood with both of his arms behind his back, his head slightly down and he rose to to meet the eyes of the Superior. "I understand." As he waited for Xemnas to respond and then choose a location, Demyx spotted Axel on the ground hurt as ever. Part of him told him that he deserved it for hurting him and calling him a traiotr and another part was crying out to him to help him. Demyx respected Axel and looked up to the higer ranking nobody. They were close to the same age and no matter what he couldn't bare to see Axel suffer at the injuries he received. Quickly Demyx vanished into the medical bay, got a potion, appeared back knelt down to Axel, forcing it down his throat gentely. "You'll be fine. This will give your back your strength and heal you completly. We will talk later as I need to go with the boss right now." He got up from his knee and ran over to Xemnas as quick as he could. "Okay you have my attention. Lead the way Superior.
Well congrats are in order. Congradulations.
Guess what? Repliku is now an adminstator.
Oh my gosh! I always thought you would become an adminstrator and now you are. I was talking about today saying that we needed more adminstators...
Demyx spotted another cloaked figure appear next to them and by what he had heard the Superior said he knew it had to be Gex. Letting Larxene think about what he said, and how his gestures were towards her especially the eye contact he gave her.He directed his voice to her. "I'll be back. There is something important that I need to do. If you're not here when I return I will find you," he took her hand into his own and placed it on his chest before disappearing into a void into the darkness. Appearing back at the Altar of Naught he had figured, his last gesture was enough for the boss to absorb what had happened. Demyx thought of himself being crazy, but something in the back of his mind was telling him that he needed to speak to him. Slowly approaching Xemnas, he cleared his throat for him to take notice. "Um about what I did before," he rubbed the back of his head nervously and bite his lower lip gentely in anticiapation, "here's a reason why I... I... touched your shoulder, but I would appreciate it if we could talk alone anywhere of your choosing. I need to just say this how matter how strange it sounds. There is a reason for my behavior as of lately."
Legion is posting now so wait for his response.
Demyx was thinking the same thing, but he had his sitar put away and was waiting for Xemnas to respond. "You know I would still like to see more of what Earth has to offer before you take over it boss."
He had not expected to see the savage nymph to come out of her room after she had faced the same fate with Demyx by the Superior. Staring at her, his eyes sparkled with interest at the name Reno. Yes the one who had tried and failed to take Larxene away from the organization. How bitter sweet it would be to rip the guy's heart out and stomp all over it. The blood staining his own gloved hands as it dripped off the blades of his sitar. Shaking his head, he erased that thought out of his mind for he was starring to think like Larxnene. No Reno would suffer another way and so would the one who resembled Larxene for getting away from him. She had really wanted him to be her accompliance. "With pleasure." For in the end, nobodies were devoid of feelings and didn't have consciences. He would feel no remorse or guilt for getting the job done especially to a Turk, one who had troubled his friend Cloud, but that was not the only reason. The Turks had tarnished the Organization's name in different way. He would show the red head what a nobody was truly capable of. Demyx formed a smirk of his own, his eyes narrowing to slits, revealing the true entity of himself as he could just imagine seeing the Turk suffer. "All right. I will drown him if nessessary, but what of the other turks especially the one who resembles yourself? I feel she should be taken care of as well." He began to pace and starrted walking around Larxene in a circle. "After all Larxy, her beauty is nothing compared to yours, her talants are pathtic as you would easily wipe the floor with her face and it's best we both take out the Turks so they can't reinforce especially her," He chuckled sinsterly drawing closer towards her, his azure orbs appearing like vortex's as hidden power of his element was kept from within him. In the back of his mind he knew he would be meeting with Cloud not only to stop the wave, but find out as much information on the Turks as possible and Cloud would be able to provide that very easily. Cloud heard the rushing of the current hit the land, causing destruction of the valley within seconds. The town would be underwater before long if no one stopped it and the only one who could was not here at the moment. Cloud tapped his fingers of his right hand on his left elbow waiting for the presence of the young nobody for he had to know what was going on. He would question the water mage later because right now the only thing he could was stay out of nature's path of annhilation. "Annhilation... Destruction... Despair... Sephiroth... Mother..." he spoke of what he felt in his heart.
The night had peacefully come as the nocturne had shut his eyes and visions of different thoughts that were in his head came to him. He stirred and wrestled in his sleep, moaning a tad as he was uncomfortable and having a nightmare. "No. No..." In his subconscience he had been taken captive and both of his arms were bounded in chains that restricted his powers as he walked a slow angonizing path to the Superior to be judged. Falling onto his knees, he felt the sting of a lash strike him in the back causing him to scream out and face the eyes of Xemnas. "Please don't do this Superior. Don't you think you're going a tad over board?" He asked with the dread of fear etched on his features. His response was another lash to his lower region as fell forward on the ground, his head resting on the ground now. Pulling himself up, he began to panic, his breath quickening as Xemnas brought out another prisoner who had blond spiky hair. He had no idea he would be abushed by so many nobodies and there were to many to kill. He had fought swiftly and bravely, but it was not enough as the organization members had surrounded him and took him by surprise. All of them had attacked him except for Demyx who fought to defend him and Xemnas who had watched the whole fight occur. Now it was judgement for the young nobody and his friend. "Let go of me! When I get out of this, you will not live to regret it." "No Cloud!" Demyx screamed hysterically as Xemnas had brought the young man to his knees who was relunctly giving in. Hearing the whip smack Cloud across his back followed by the youth's cry of anguish, Demyx screamed again and was grabbed by the back of his cloak, by his hood and forced to stare into Xemnas's eyes. "No. Please boss." He whipped around to see a image of Xioimara watching the whole thing from a distance preparing to leave. "No Wait Xioimara come back. Don't leave me here with him. Please," he pleaded as she had left in trace. "She deserted me to go to Twilight Town," his mumbling was put to a halt when he saw two aerials blades form in Xemnas's grip, one aimed at him and one for Cloud. "Superior don't. Give me another chance please. I'm sorry I screwed up. You don't have to torture Cloud either." He struggled to get away, swinging his body forcefully back and forth, but to no avail. Demyx's body was tossed to the ground forcefully as the leader of the organization, took one of his aerial blades and begin to etchthe symbol of Organization XIII into Cloud's inner thigh. Cloud's blue eyes had widened to saucers at what he reliazed what Xemnas was doing. "No I'm not your slave. Leave me alone! Ah!" He cursed and yelled at the top of his lungs as the aerial blade burned his flesh and was leaving a permanent trace of the symbol behind. Cloud couldn't do anything, but moan and cry out as the pain was to intense. "Demyx help me!" Demyx could only watch in horror as he was forced by Saix with the claymore to his back to witness the sickening display. "No he does not belong to you too. He's not a slave to you like I am. Leave him alone!" With that comment, the second blade seared part of his cloak leaving a huge gash in the chest region. Demyx collapsed to his knees from the stinging of the wound, holding it there with his left hand, his glove beginning to soak into the darkness, blood and water from within him. Cloud coughed trying to catch his breath and did his best to remain strong, but the liquid the boss was cleaning the wound with was causing it to burn more. "No! I can't believe you just branded me!" He dubbed over in sheer pain, feeling dizzy and overall fatigued. Demyx crawled over to where Cloud was vulnerable and stood up to Xemnas, his eyes showing determination to save the one he cared about. Both of them were thrown back and tossed on the ground, by the Superior's power as he had one aerial blade to Cloud's neck and the other to Demyx's. When the final blow was going to strike, Demyx screamed out waking the other sleeping young man from his slumber. Cloud fell off the couch and rushed over to Demyx's side to see what was the matter. "Are you all right. What's wrong?" He faced him and took a blanket off the couch wrapping it around the young nobody. "I had a nightmare. You and I were both facing the boss and getting whipped and burned by the aerial blades. You got branded with the organization symbol as if you were the Superior's property and Xioimara was there, but she just watched and left to go to Twilight Town." He whipped his forehead and tried to calm himself down. Cloud got him a glass of water and sat back down on the couch next to him. "I got branded? Oh man that would be awful. Besides how horrible your nightmare was, there is a reason why you had it. You have a lot on your mind. If you think about it, Xioimara was present in your nightmare and she had left, just as she had done when she escaped out the window. With the whole Xemnas thing you're worried he will catch you again and worried for my sake. This just tells me that you can't go back anytime soon or what you dreamt may happen. What we need to do though is to find Xioimara for maybe she will help us. I remember her saying she went to her homeworld and you're the only one who can portal so that is where we will find her." Demyx drunk the rest of his water and nodded his head. Cloud had figured out what his nightmare had meant and seeing Xioimara there meant that she mattered to him in some way or another. She was an outcast too. "All right." He took the blanket off of himself. "Let's go then," bringing his hand forward, a portal appeared. "Stay close to me Cloud as we are entering the Corrdiors of Darkness." He took his hand and led him through until they reached the other side where he let go. "All right now all we have to do is locate her. Being a nobody I can sense her presence." His keen abilities led them to a dark alley and towards a small complex. Stepping inside with the blond, he made sure they were both out of sight as they both were in the shadows of the bar in the dark corners away for where people could easily spot them.
Demyx starred at the wall and was in deep thought. "Oh um yeah I do, but she probably wants nothing to do with me especially after I confronted her."
After everything that had happened and being arrested no doubt, Demyx decided the best thing to do was leave. Axel would follow most likely, especially if Xemnas wanted to speak to them both once more.
Oh could I have a recap if you don't mind?
I'm all right. I'm tired, but I'm here and you?
Cloud's head was elsewhere as he had partically heard bits and pieces of the conversation from Tifa asking him if he was all right and from Namine yelling back at Leon for what he asked. Shaking his head, he felt confused and distraught not able to think clearly from the grief of Aerith's passing. Gazing at the wave that was sure to hit, he wasn't thinking about the danger he or the others were in. In fact he welcomed the force to take him out completly, to be rid of this pain and angusih. He wished Zack would help him get through this, but he was gone and Cloud just didn't feel human anymore. He knew he was just a creation just like Sephiorth so what the future was there to hold for him. Seeing the water clearly now, Cloud thought of his friend and how he felt being only just a creation himself as well. That was another reason he could relate to Demyx for the both of them were not even born, since Demyx was only an empty shell, a vessel from his heartless when his heartt became dark. Cloud could see himself meeting the same fate as he felt himself falling into the abyss of darkness. Demyx had listened to everything that was said from Axel and he was taken a back when Saix had literally hurt the flurry of dancing flames. Axel didn't deserve that kind of treatement especially from Saix. Fearing he would end up like Axel, the melodious nocturne took the hint and sadly walked away after nodding to the seventh member. Glancing at Xemnas whom either chose to ignore the nocturne and stare at the all luminous heart or decide not to hurt him, he approached him one more time. "I still want to speak to you boss. When you're ready to listen to me instead of judge by what you think you know." Being very bold, and brave or completly out of his mind, the ninth member placed his right hand on the superior's shoulder as a sign of seeking comfort then removed it for he was afraid it could of been damaged if he had not. "I'll leave you be then." He walked opposite direction of the Superior and headed back into the castle, as he made his way down the steps from the Altar of Naught. Upon walking to another level he was approached by one of his dancers. "Yes what is it?" He folded his arms. Ragingwaters starred at the condition of her leige and she could tell that he was not in a very good mood. "A thousand apoligies for what happened to you master. I saw the whole thing." Demyx decided to keep walking while she caught up with him. "That's the Superior for you. It's always his way or no way what so ever. Now what do you want to say?" He stopped when he walked into the hall of empty melodies. "Well I thought I would like you to know that ever since you left and came back here your wave was released and is headed to the town. Also that it wasn't I who told on you and brought Xemnas and Axel to where you were alone with Number XII. He heard the music coming from her room and just lost it." "Yes I'm aware of that." The water youth wielder kept walking until he was on the level of the castle where the bedrooms resided. "So far you're telling me stuff I already know. What is really on your mind?" He could tell if his dancer was hiding something from him or not. "Master, I'm just concerned about you. Nobodies are not supposed have feelings or emotions of any kind, but you are different and because you're the leader of the dancers, your senses of believing you have feelings affect me too. So I wanted to ask my leige, is that would you really risk your life for someone who could careless if you fade into the darkness? I'm referring to the ruthless female you have been getting closer to." Demyx rose an eyebrow and wondered why Ragingwaters would ask such a question, but he couldn't deny how he felt. "When I made that promise in there to Larxene I meant it. It does not concern you. The only things you should know are these. Yes I have feelings for her, feelings I'm not supposed to have, yes I know she's dangerous and our elements are the nearly opposites of one of another just like water and fire, but I don't care about any of that. I know she's not going to change unless she wants to and I have to accept that no matter how hard it is. And the last thing is I know she will keep her promise as I will keep mine that I made to her regardless what anyone does or says. Got it?" He starred at Ragingwaters with an irratated gaze letting her know he wanted her to leave. He watched her bow slightly and disappear leaving him alone in the hall leaning against the wall.
Demyx's grin had faded when Larxene left all of a sudden leaving him with the others. How was he supposed to fullfill his promise to her when she just left him like that? Hearing Axel speak to Roxas, then him, he glared at Axel after he had treated him like crap. Calling him a traitor when all he did was in the name of the organization, slapping him like a jerk with no self control, why would he dare to listen to Axel? "Oh like you give a damn anyway Axel. Once again I'm the one to be the hero since I'm the only one who can stop the wave. Well I know Cloud is a surivor and he'll manage and why should I in the kind of miserable shape I'm in anyway? Or maybe you want me to go over so you can rat me out to the boss too huh? To prove your theory that I'm a traitor as well as what the boss thinks." He was hurt emotionally all because of what Axel had said and done to him, and also held a grudge against Xemnas for not hearing him out and trying to kill him. "Why do I even try anyway? I wasn't given any orders to carry out and the stubborn boss can't even acknowledge that. And then Larxene just leaves me forgeting about how I expressed myself to her and what she promised for me to do." He wiped his eyes for they were beginning to leak tears. "All I have done is try to live my worth in the organization and the Superior justs wants to kill me off anyway and instead he is starring at that stupid heart in the sky like he is obsessed with it not giving a damn about any of his warriors who work hard just to please him when they are not even given any orders to follow!" He screamed not caring what would happen to him now. He needed to express how he felt or it would forever haunt him. Being emotional came easy to him from his memories of who he was before and if the others had a problem with it then that that was their loss. Cloud paced around in his spot, his own troubles beginning to come back as he couldn't do anything to help the situation. He hated feeling helpless, the miserable clone of Sephiorth who pratically controled his life. No wonder Tifa wanted nothing to do with him. Cloud wasn't even a human being, just a creation from Sephiorth's own genes. No wonder the turks wanted nothing to do with him. No human could relate for what he gone through or experienced. He needed to belong with his own kind, those that understood him.
"Fire? No wrong element. Water you could say I have the strength of the fury of a storm inside me," Demyx quiped as he shot his comment back to her. The water weilder wasn't expecting Axel to come after him and so he walked right past him. "So why do we have to deal with that brat again?"
(OOC: The Joker characters were accepted ahead of time.) Demyx starred up at the savage nymph who was in her own strange way showing concern for him, if you could call it that. Exhaling deeply, he staggered to get to his feet, the weight of his stiff body and tail of the leather cloak weighing him down. "Geez I just woke up from being unconscience. Give me a break already," Demyx uttered in an annoyed tone. Once he was on his feet, he felt like a fawn wobbling to get his bearings. "I'm doing this all for you just like you asked me to so bare with me here. There is only so much I can do." He adjusted his cloak to his satisfaction bringing his shoulders in and stretching them back out to get out any of the kinks in them. Snapping his neck to both sides, the crackling of bones could be heard as he shook his head once more. Bringing his right foot forward he stretched it, realizing his boot was scuffed along with the other one. When he got the time to relax he would have to clean them with leather conditioner. "Aw man that hurt. I feel like something crushed me." He cringed when after stretching for he was still in pain. "What did I do to deserve such harsh treatment? Oh the burden of being a slave to the master," he joked smiling a bit to show he was trying to bring some sense of humor in this serious matter. Cloud awaited his postion where Tifa, Leon and him were at not knowing that Xigbar and Luxord would soon be coming for him as well as another flash from his past upon motorcylces. With his sword at his side, he held onto the hilt of it observing the other people below scurry in different directions. The crisp sound of Namine sketching was heard as it continued along with a breeze that was picking up. Observing the east, his eyes widened when he saw a blue and white substance coming down the hillside. A sense of fear was etched in his features knowing he could not stop what was going to happen. Xigbar had waved his finger at Luxord with the game they played. "How do I know you didn't rig your cards?" He jumped up onto another ledge that was beside them and hung upside down. His evil grin broadened when he heard and saw the wave picking up speed. "Ha ha now Cloud and Leon will have no choice but to show themselves or drown."
Demyx got off the bed and looked out the window to see what was happening outside. "Wouldn't you agree that the boss has some other plan of why we were sent to keep an eye on the other students? It doesn't make sence why he would send us to Disneyworld out of the blue. The boss isn't like that Axel." Demyx picked up the towel from the red head's lap and hung it back on the towel rack in the bathroom. "Maybe I should speak to the boss?"
Demyx starred into her eyes and he put his right gloved hand on her cheek just under her eye. "No, it's all right. I overreacted and I shouldn't have just left the way I did. I wasn't thinking about your needs only my own."
