Organization XIII's Rivals

OOC: I haven't seen it either, but I know the story....or musical. Horrific, vengeful, romantic, and sad xP.

*le gasp* You don't know who's Sweeney Todd?

Before he knew it, Roxas found himself thrown over a portal, and landing on a floor, his body crashing in a thud. He blocked most of the contact with his palms, his hands held over in front of him, so it didn't necessarily hurt, but he still gave a groan, his knee made a connection to the ground. Yet, knowing the situation he was in, a sense of anger flowed through him, and he got up to his feet in a second, ignoring the pain, summoning the Kingdom Key in one hand in a spark of light as he turned to face the person who brought him here, placing himself in a stance. What the hell was this?

He was about to charge, more calculated in a way to see what would he do first, but a familiar voice stopped him, freezing him completely in his tracks.

"As much as I would love for you to kill him, Roxas, he's unfortunately needed, and did me a favor," Axel interrupted, calm yet a bit anxious to see his best friend again, getting up from the stool he was sitting on and heading towards him. He remained a distance though, knowing Roxas was still on defensive, and making more steps will only alert him. Axel sent a glare to Max, as if thinking he could've thought of a less violent way to get him here, but the fact of the matter was...he was here. Finally, one of the two would know that he was alright, and giving a happy, but sad smile to Roxas, he stared at Max wryly. "And 'Demon Barber From Fleet Street', Max? Wow. Funny."

Max...? Wasn't he the one everyone was talking about...?

Roxas remained still, his stomach constricting very hard, and his breathing becoming uneven. He couldn't even swallow properly, and he eyed Max, concentrating, his hand tight on the hilt of his keyblade that it was digging into his skin, and yet not daring to look behind him to see if this was some trick to get to him. Yes, he was not going to fall for someone doing Axel's voice, despite the usual dry and sarcastic tone, because anyone can copy it easily. Axel was dead. That was the truth of the matter. But he still needed to see who his assailants were, both, so he jumped to the side as he twisted himself around, and get a good view, only to widen his eyes when he saw the redhead standing there, looking at him amusedly.

That was just a fake...he glowered at Max heatedly then, preparing to attack him once more, and the imposter,as he glanced at them both dangerously, "I'm not going to fall for that. What the hell is it that you want with me?!"

 

"Ice cream?" flopsum asked

"I want nothing to do with you at the moment. Him on the other hand, is being a pain in the ass so talk with him about it. And don't go wrecking my moniters either" max said as he started to walk out of the room.

 

Flopsum....be quiet.......right now.....

She was starting to get irritated and tired from running through hallways only to end up at more hallways only to end up in large rooms only to end up at staircases ending in more staircases ending in more hallways and rooms.

 

"Pie?" flopsum asked

ooc: look up sweeny todd, and redeme your soul for not knowing of it, for you see, to not know of sweeny todd is a sin

 

OOC: lmao. xDD

*Redeems soul*

 

........I'm sorry?...........PLEASE DON'T HURT ME MASTER OF PIE! *does the tornado drill*

BIC- Flopsum.....

She raised her voice while still running. So far she must've made at least 16 scorch marks covering almost every single floor maybe.

*panting*......I can't....take this.....much....longer.....this place....*takes a breath* this place is too big.....wait.....have we been going down.....or up?

 

OOC: Fire, for Sweeney Todd -- Sweeney Todd

And I lasted long, cause I was eating ^^;.

"Don't turn your back on me!" Roxas exclaimed furiously, ready to slash Max with his keyblade as he dived for him in rapid speed as he swung his arm, but was halted from getting his hit when a hand grasped him hard and tight on his wrist, on a stopping gesture, and the blond's eyes narrowed. Roxas called his Oathkeeper in his other free hand just as quickly, and swerve his arm in a fast turn to slice the fke Axel he knew was the one who grabbed him. As the sound of the action resonated in the air like a sword swishing, he noted that the male already let go in time and made a graceful jump away from slashing distance, though he still had that funny look on his face.

Roxas just stood deadly, ready to go head to head.

"Tsk. And Roxas, you shouldn't have turned your back on me," Axel tauntingly adviced, waving his index finger in the form of a "no". The kid was getting rough, though, and he knew that he needed to explain this fast enough so he will end his attacks on them. "Listen Roxas, I know you think I'm a fake, since I'm dead, I know...but even if you won't believe me, let me tell you, that I'm alive, and have been stuck in this world from the time I woke up."

He didn't say anything, just kept his eyes and senses on the two opponents here, and merely gazed at Axel grimly. Likely explanation...still, he hadn't made any move to attack him, and neither did Max.

Taking the silence as a good gesture, Axel continued, "I don't know what truly happened, except what Max told me. That the machine Vexen invented to save a Nobody, and to save me, malfunctioned, and since Max was spying on us with those receptors you see around you...he...he saved me, just in time, before I died along with the contraption. He kept me in a platform until I woke up, where I really thought I was dead. Turned out, I managed to live, the machine was finishing the job on healing me, before I guess, it short-circuited. This world here...is Traverse Town, and Max grabbed one of the districts and made his own territory, so nobody can get here unless he made it so, and nobody, like Zexion, can smell my scent."

 

"Jello?" flopsum asked.

ooc: then go onto sweenytodd.com , and learn of sweeny todd. then see it in movie theaters. YOU MUST!!!!!!!

 

REad it on wiki-pedia......but thank you for offering the link....and all I have to say...is.......O.o WHO THE FREAKING TREE BAKES PIES FROM CORPSES?! WHO?! WHO?! THAT IS JUST SICK MAN!

BIC-......Flopsum.......I promise you....I will somehow find some ice cream for you....after this is over...just....just please be quiet unless you have something important to say....

I've been going up........there could be some floors down........*sigh*...-_-

So back she went running through hallways that led to hallways that led to hallways that led to rooms and rooms that led to rooms that led to hallways the led to rooms that led to staircases that eld to hallways and more rooms.

OOC-........the.....website leads to this......ad.......that's fake.........

 

ooc: ummmm, try looking up sweeny todd on google then. it should have the official site somewhere on it

bic: "I love you, kupo" flopsum said, finding that to be very important, as he gave her a great big hug

 

.........right......

She retraced her steps and went past the kitchen again and found some stairs going down.

Booyah!

She took them and started searching for Zexion again.

OOC-.....okay....I found a website that was blank but the title was RIP Sweeney Todd.......and I found a website giving the summary of a movie that Johnny Depp was in and.......it seems kind of interesting.......but I think if I watch it i'll get nightmares.....or.....really weird dreams......

 

"Prove it," Roxas growled, not swaying away from his guard, staring Axel down with a untrustful eye. That would explain a few things, after all, nobody knew what really happened, with the talk of murder, or if the machine truly sort-circuited, and how he was here in the flesh now, but it might be just well thought of. Didn't he say they spied with those receptors? They could wind it to their favor, and he was yet not to be skeptical, so he prepared for any wrong moves.

Axel sighed tiredly, rolling his eyes. "Okay, what do you want to hear? The Travese Town incident, the time we first met, or when you were sleeping, and I was peering at your face closely because it was twitching, until you woke up suddenly, and we bumped heads, showing no mercy to me at all? You didn't think me as a friend back then...told it to my face and all, that was a real burn, by the way. How about the time we spied on the Superior, as he always went somewhere, which we eavesdropped being called the 'Room Of Sleep', or how you went to Wonderland, telling me you stupidly followed the damn white rabbit. Or..."

He trailed off there, looking at him expectantly.

 

:D.....the white rabbit.........."I'm late! I'm late!"....I love that little rabbit........but not as much as I love my little cute soft moogle, Flopsum! Isn't that right Floopsum? Who's the cutest little thing? Who's the cutest?

 

ooc: kupo

bic: max sighed as he walked out. "this is going to cause a world of trouble" he said

 

Roxas blinked his eyes, not saying anything as he, for once, lowered down his weapons, but didn't make them disappear. There wasn't any other reason for how anyone can know that, unless they took his memory, but even he thought that was going a bit ahead of himself, nobody could do that, at least, not Max anyway. Feeling a sort of hope filled him, among happiness mixed with the tint of sadness, he didn't know what to think now. This still might be a trick...but maybe it wasn't, perhaps he was really here...he wanted him to be here...

His mouth dry, and his vision getting misty as a type of burn swelled in his eyes, he croaked quietly, wishing he wasn't making a fool of himself right now, "What's my favorite soda?"

"Orange soda. And you have your own secret stash under your bed, may I remind you," Axel answered with a small smile, excited now that he was finally getting through Roxas, a sort of warmth filing him from the fact that he was reuniting with his only and close friend. He stepped up to him, this time more confident, looking at him with all the honesty he could muster. "It's me, Roxas..."

He was now spilling a few tears silently, not out of sadness, but out of happiness that his best friend was really alive, that all the thoughts of being alone, and bored, and not doing anything wouldn't happen, and...and that he wasn't going to be replaced anymore because he's here. Alive. Letting out a shaky breath, he stared at Axel with a smile, but there was another emotion controlling among his crying as the realization hit him, and laughing in gladness, tasting the salty drops in his mouth as they fell, he raised his keyblades, "I'm going to kill you."

Axel paused. Then he widened his eyes. Only to look confused. "Wha-?" But he didn't get to finish as he had to immediately dodge a pointy and abrupt attack from the keyblade wielder, and he stared at his friend in complete shock. "Roxas!?"

"You were alive all this time, and here I am, suffering because of your dead carcass!! I had to go through guilt, the fact you were dead, losing a best friend, trying to defend your place, only to be brought here, and YOU WERE ALIVE? You were perhaps watching me too, in those damn moniters, and you did nothing!!!" Roxas shouted as he charged at him with drastic velocity, his tears drying from the wind, twirling his Kingdom Key to aim a blow at the redhead, only for him to duck. He had no idea what he went through, only to get kidnap by a stranger, taken to this place, and find him breathing. Roxas didn't know whether to give a manly hug or throttle him. All this time...

"I-I-I-well-" Axel stuttered, bewildered at Roxas's reaction, but he didn't get to finish as he had to dodge another slash, his body in overdrive from the acceleration and surprise of what was happening. "So you want me dead now?! What the hell?!"

 

Yeah.....Roxas.....:D......you can always count on him to be a great friend......

BIC- *sigh*........okay.......I give up....maybe.....there wasn't anything wrong.....maybe......it was just me...maybe......huh?...O.o.......booyah! Found him!......huh?

She was walking down a hallway and she turned the corner but then went back to see what was going on.

Well.....it's Zexion.....and.......some other guy.....wonder what they're talking about.......uh-oh....O.o.....they look like they're going to fight......should I rush in?........or just hang back?.......decisions....decisions....

 

"I WILL NOT HAVE FIGHTING IN MY MONITER ROOM!!!" max's voice echoed, as the gravity within the room increased by 50 times, which would cause axel and roxas to have a very difficult time moving, or even attacking eachother under such pressure. Max sounded pretty pissed off at the moment as well.

 

the gravity thing reminds me of DBZ.. xD

But you're overdoing it Deathsighht, the weight would kill them >.>

 

Axel saw Roxas smash to the floor with his body all of a sudden, his keyblades disappearing, but manage to save his head from any harm with his hands in time. It seemed he followed after, as a abrupt compression overwhelmed him, the air around himself getting heavier to the point where he couldn't mange to stand up, suffocating him, sending tingles and goosebumps through his body, and he went down to the ground also, yet learned from Roxas by blocking any damage to his face with his hands just the second he lost any more free movement. If he tried hard enough, he could twitch his finger and move his body, but not much, so it wasn't that bad. Yet, he wouldn't dare shift his head, Axel was acquainted about the process of what not to do in this situation.

He could hear Max yelling, but his ears felt block, the type you get only when you drive along the mountains, and the pressure of the height you're in clogs it, exactly the same way when a plane flies off and you're a passenger. Axel was aware he could at least move his eyes, which were staring at the floor...and will be staring at the floor until he can move. His mouth could function, so he yelled, his voice sounding muffled to him, "Damn it, Max, lower the f*cking gravity!"

He knew what it was, and he experienced it before. Axel lived and fought with Xigbar, for goodness sakes.

And that unusually took him back to one time when the man was hunting for a number eight, or more members for the Organization, and discovered him. That seemed so long ago now...and of course, when Larxene came in the picture, who got talked about for awhile being the first and only, female member. Back then, he never thought in a million years that he'll be in love with her in the time that came, as he wasn't exactly interested...interested at nothing at all except getting a heart, but he had to admit, she did intrigue him...

And it was amazing how he can think of this when he was having gravity pull him down.

Roxas didn't what the hell was wrong, except that his bones didn't have the strength they used to have, and moving was like having a boulder on top of you, better put, a boulder around the air, which was a lot considering his scrawny figure. This had something to do with gravity, he can guess that much, only that was capable of doing this, and it was apparently Max that did so, he could hear him shout, or he thought it was shouting. The voice sounded distant, as if his hearing was sealed, and as he tried to move his head, not wanting to eye the floor the whole time, he felt a searing ache in his brain, and stopped. Roxas forgot about that. That it hurts when the skull has that much pressure thrown on it.

He then heard another distant voice, the familiarity telling him it was Axel exclaiming curses.

Well, this was something. It wasn't like he was seriously going to kill him.

 

Max released the gravity, making it back to normal. "I DO NOT WANT MY MONITERS TO BE DAMAGED. IF YOU PLAN ON FIGHTING, THEN I CAN ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL GET THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIVES" max yelled
