Organization XIII's Rivals

Marluxia ported next to Zexion"What have I missed?''he asked with a curious tone,he had been ending to his flower garden 24/7 for the past week and had passed out yesterday"What new's about the other organization?

 

Zexion tensed, hearing Marluxia's voice as he quickly spun around to face him. He had been concentrating on Xangel's and Reixa's 'scent' and hadn't sensed Marluxia come in...and the Cloaked Schemer hated to be surprised.
"Marluxia...a pleasure to see you...with the other Organization? Plenty...but everything's under control and I have a plan that will..."
He stopped. Where was Larxene? Her 'scent' practically disappeared...

 

Marluxia stared at Zexion and wondered why he took a dramatic pause"What's wrong Zexion?I dont like to be kept waiting...unles someting important has just come up..''Marluxia said firmly,he folded his arms and waited for an answer

 

Glancing at Marluxia, Zexion frowned.
"Larxene seems to have just...disappeared...I do not know where she is, nor can I detect her 'scent'..." He paused for a moment as he closed his eyes, trying to locate it. "It seems she must be far away...but to be so distant...as to have so much trouble finding her...that is quite...suspicous..."

 

OOC: Axel just got stabbed by Saïx's spiky side if his claymore and Zexion thinks is not drastic yet? xD And since I want to do it from both fighters' point of views...

As Berserk Saïx saw that his opponent was pinned to the wall by his weapon, and not in any way moving, the monster inside began to slowly calm down, knowing that what he wanted to do was over. From a person's point of view, his scar was slowly regressing to its normal size, while his glowing eyes began to diminish, making Saïx blink as the glazed vision of his golden orbs started to clear. With his mind getting unclouded each minute, he could barely hear Vexen's horrified yelled of his name, and setting his attention on the red that was Axel, he almost widened his eyes, as he never can really be particularly shock anyway.

However, Axel's hair wasn't the only thing crinsom. His body was a tad better with the slashes from his claymore, a few blood covering most of his skin, but what he saw almost dizzily was where the spiked right side of his tool dwelled, cut inside Axel's stomach, and trapping him to the wall as his face was pale, his body shivering slightly, and his expression blank, as if he was frozen. The only indication that showed he was in horryfing pain was his green eyes, which were in turmoil and grief. As he was returning to normal and his senses got in control, he studied the huge patch of a red gash where the two of the points were speared through him, blood flowing without stop, dirtying his shirt and pants as it travelled down, dripping like rain into the ground, making a puddle there that was getting bigger by the second. Saïx didn't feel or cannot think of anything, as he was expecting this to happen, and had prepared himself beforehand, Axel had known he might win, or more predictably lose, and he placed his nonexistant life on the line, and this was the result. Fool...

Shaking his head weakly, his body tired from the energy spent, he carefully with a fast tug, pulled it from Axel's flesh a gushing sound was heard, earning another quiet cry from the young man. Saïx watch, almost in sympathy as the support that was keeping him up retreated, and eyed as his body slowly slid down the wall until he reached the floor, in a sitting position as his hands landed in his lap motionless. A trail of blood tainted the otherwise white wall from when he slithered downward. Axel didn't have his chakrams, which must have disappeared when the impact happened, and he diminished his protective shields on the room, allowing entry.

"Forget the enemy now, she's weak from my attack. Are you blind?! Didn't you see what happened? Saïx actually plunged his spikes in Axel's stomach, and he's bleeding profoundly. He might..." Vexen trailed off the last comment as it dawned on him that Axel, could in fact, die from this, or rather, fade. His body was already out of breath from the constant fighting, and now to have that wound....there was only so much someone could take.

But they needed Axel, with the rival Organization, they couldn't risk to lose a member, he remembered that's why he showed up. Though...he didn't care much for Axel, and to see him permanently go was a blessing..and if anything, he can be replaceable, after all...there was Xangel. He had been leaning his hand on the invisible force field [as he thought, and almost feel over when it went, making him stumble. Regaining composure, he noted that Axel was now slumped in the floor as Saïx took out his weapon.

 

Marluxia raised an eyebrow,he had remember's that flase kiss he gave her and wondered if things between them but still be awkward,but he knew that the shock wouldnt last forever,he was over it,but was Larxene?

"When was the last time you talked to her?''Marluxia asked,the situation was gettign interesting

 

The last time Zexion talked to her? He had to look down to cover the smirk that had come upon his face, as he chuckled softly.
Glancing over at the fight, he frowned once more.
"Earlier...we...had a little...fight...not exactly per se...but it isn't important..." he said, as he turned, dashing across the room to stand in between Axel and Saix.
"The Superior wants this stopped...he does not want you to interrupt the two..." he said, looking at the Luna Diviner.

 

"The Cloaked Schemer?fight?...amusing..''Marluxia said as he moved closer to Saix and Axel"Dont ruin the fight...I want to see it continue..''he said with an amused look

 

Zexion glanced over at Marluxia, raising an eyebrow. "Axel is wearing a mere towel, wounded, near death and the Superior does not want their fight...to progress...so no...it cannot merely for your enjoyment..."

 

Marluxia sighed and he truly hated when anything spoiled his fun"Always about what he wants isnt it?..''he mumbled as he moved over to Zexion"Stop this you two...for what reason are you fighting?''he asked

 

Zexion hesitated to answer. Should Marluxia know of this?
No...what Larxene said...and what he told the Superior...of course not.
"Axel has been interferring with...some of Larxene's missions, so Saix decides that he must punish him. However, I cannot say much more without the Superior's consent..."
It sounded as if he using the Superior as an excuse but it wasn't like the Graceful Assassin would know.

 

"Superior this...Superior that...im tired of your excuses Zexion..''Marluxia said impatiently,he looked at Saix and at Axel and then back at Zexion again"And interfering with a mission?..."Marluxia repeated"...Are you hiding something from me?"

 

"Of course not," Zexion lied, smoothly, keeping eye contact with Marluxia...however, tilting his head up gave him a look of the deep slash across his left cheek. Looking back down so his hair overshadowed it once more, he continued, "It's just that earlier, Larxene had gone on a mission to the Shrouded City - where the enemy live - to discover their powers...but Axel wanted to come along...I tried to stop him, but he came along anyway...so worried about her...that is all..."

 

"Worried?...since when has Axel cared about anyone but Roxas?''Marluxia pondered outloud,he gave a peircing stare to Zexion as if he was diving into his very mind"Why would Axel want to interfere with her mission Zexion..?''he asked

 

"...The Superior may not want me to confide it to you," Zexion said, almost smirking as he used Xemnas as an excuse once more. "Anyway..." He turned, looking at Saix and Axel once more. "Both of you...stop it...Saix...come with me instead...I must speak with you..."

 

Marluxia growled as he heard the Superior excuse once again"If I have to hear that one more time Zexion..I'l' do worse than Larxene..I wont argue with you..I wont give you that slash across your cheek...I'll kill you..''he said coldly as he glared at Zexion with hatred

 

OOC: Axel is not in a towel xD. That would be great <3, though really he's wearing his uniform except his cloak (but left the black tank top on) and gloves. And I know you won't read the long paragraphs, so Saïx was turning back to normal. He already is actually.

Saïx ignored Marluxia's and Zexion's ramblings about Larxene and whatnot as he gazed down at the battered and wounded Axel in the floor, the light in his eyes fading ever so every second that passed, finally getting out of his Berserker mode and composing himself. If the Superior commanded the fight to be stopped, it was...in the sacrifice of another, it was too late, and his Berserker stage did its crime. Usually, this wouldn't have affected him, but the fact that Axel might fade was progressing rapidly, and he wondered what would happen when Xemnas found out. Hearing their words, he merely muttered to Zexion lowly, "Might as well tell him the truth....I don't think it would matter anymore...the reason of the fight was because of a taboo Number VIII committed with Larxene, I found out, and it had to be dealt with. Axel made a deal when I confronted him. It was that if I win, he would do what I asked of him and stop seeing Number XII, and that what they had will remain hidden, and that I wouldn't report to Master Xemnas since they would follow my orders. If he died in the process, it will still remain in darkness, to be sure Number XII wouldn't go the path of death and still live, though without him there. If he had won...I would leave them both alone and keep it a secret..."

"So...if Axel died, the Superior will never know, and Larxene wouldn't follow the same end after...or be turned into a dusk," Vexen concluded as he had gotten there a while before, studying Axel, the puddle of blood consequently gotten bigger as the gash in the stomach was kept open. It was quite saddening, Vexen had to admit, that the usual active pyromaniac was reduced to this and losing his life, after two spikes were plunged into him, so he was also in terrible pain. Though he almost gasped in surprise, as he saw a tiny, very small, but there, wisp of darkness flow into the air...

Was...he fading...?

 

"...So that was it?..''Marluxia said quietly and gave a very mean glare at Zexion,then looked back at Saix"Well...we must do as the Superior order'sdont we?''he said mockingly,hoping that Zexion would catch it"...And Saix..your cleaning up this mess...''he mumbled as he glanced down at the puddle of blood on the floor

 

Saïx simply glared at Marluxia, though it wasn't surprising to find that they weren't really bothered by Axel's near death. It wasn't like they could feel pity or sympathy, after all, except Vexen was looking worried, for whatever reason. Axel asked for this, and as promised, Xemnas would never know and Larxene will go on. "Are you a simple baffoon, Number XI? Do you think that Number VIII will sacrifice himself for the hell of it? The taboo that I mentioned was none other than the fact that Number XII and himself were having a romantic relationship, and that they fell in 'love'. They were keeping it a secret, yet Number VI (Zexion) knew very well. In my opinion, they were both simply deluding themselves thinking they can have emotions...though I do not expect for...Axel...to go this far into the false feeling..."

"I knew, Zexion knew, Saïx somehow found out which is bad, and the Superior must not know of this. Zexion had been keeping a eye of their...doings, to make it obscure, and it ended like this it seemed..." Vexen finished for him once more, his eyes not leaving Axel's form. The male was still breathing, and he was starting to fade, but it wouldn't be too late yet. Though...will they really just leave him when he had a chance to be saved? He had to move back as a trail of blood was now comign to his feet, and that made throat constrict. This was too much to see, honestly, and he again noticed a slight wisp of darkness go out of the redhead. "There's still a chance that he can survive, if any of you want to know. I have a solution, a very risky 50/50 that might go wrong, yet he can't be healed any more as he is very slowly starting to fade. Of course, is a matter of whether we should take it...I do wonder about Larxene's reaction when she finds out..."

 

Marluxia turned to Vexen"What's the worst she could possibly do?...make spark's bounce around her like usual?''Marluxia gave a small chuckle,then suddenly his face grew serious"But..try and save him and forget that risk,with this new organization running about I dont want to lose any of our member's..''he said sternly
