Trapped in the castle that never was

can I be Leon?

Can I be Leon? PPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSsEEEEEEEEEEEe!

 

Yeah, sure ^^

 

Dexen was wandering again, secretly following Riku. Mayah used her gravity magic to let Dexen float high in the air. Mayah before was white when she was healing, now she was black. Why am I following Mister Riku? Dexen wondered, curious.

 

Sora came arund a corner.He saw someone that looked like they wanted him.''Woah!''Sora said pulling Kairi away from the corner.''I think theres someone there looking for me...''He said.''I just have a strange feeling...''

 

Mayah heard something, bringing the gravity on Dexen back to a normal level. "Mayah? What are y--?" Dexen was cut off by Mayah.
"Shhh..." Mayah snapped, stern.

 

Xigbar chuckled back a laugh as he grimaced from hearing the whole Axel spool of traitor from the Cloaked Schemer's mouth. He was sick of talking to the manipulator about it. Whistling somewhat he brought his legs off the table and then walked off on him. He wouldn't hear another word about it. The sharp shooter had his view of who was a traitor who wasn't and the red head wasn't, in his eyes. The blonde kid Roxas though was a traitor who went against the organization from some odd reason which still made no sense to him, but he wasn't going to worry about it now. He was bitter in that cateogory and who was loyal. Dang anyone could of betrayed the organization if they felt like it. Others had their reasons, but with Roxas influence over Axel was the reason why the flurry had departed before. His choice or not the elder was not going to rub or put his hang ups on it. It was as reason plain and simple, it wasn't bad as what Maluxia and Larxene had done either. The true traitors. He shook his head as he whisked himself towards the ceiling to overhear conversations of Marluxia speaking with Larxene. He also eyed both Axel and Demyx as well. Xigbar had always been known as an easedropper and he had nothing better to do, but share gossip and annoy others. Dropping down like a bat the senior member went to investigate his fellow members. "Hey Ex-Lord of the Castle what are you and your mistress the thunder witch up to this time?" He strolled a bit and looked at the fiery red head. "So have you anything to report hot head?" He crossed his arms at Demyx smiling almost in a creepy way. "So have you had fun with our intruders yet water boy?"



Zexion was annoyed with all of the different scents that his nose was picking up and he also needed someone to keep an eye on the noobies as he would refer the newest members in his head. Now who would be suitable for that?" He thought to himself. It was an gamble if anything and it had to be someone who would not cause conflicts and make sure that the organization's methods were met. At the moment he could not think of any and hoped that he wouldn't run into Riku the puppet of Ansem who chose darkness over light.

 

One fool after another.Every.Single.Time. There was never a moment of piece in this castle.Marluxia had to admit he didn't expect behavior like that from Xigbar, even if he did try to act as if he was a sort of big shot, when it reality he was Xemnas lackey, his dog ..his slave. Giving a momentary glare to the one-eyed imbecile, he created a portal through the corridors of darkness just beside himself.It was obvious that Larxene would not stand for the pirate's comments, and the only way he'd get her to go would be physically. As if that was easy.

He placed his left hand firmly on her shoulder and gently pushed her towards the portal. "..Listen to me." he whispered in her ear, squeezing her shoulder tighter to get her attention. "Our time will come ..but for now you must control your anger and put it to use at another time, do you understand?" he asked silently so no supposed eavesdropper would listen.He began guiding her into the portal, following right beside her into a more private area.

 

Xion snuggled into her blankets, then shivered. These memories weren't her's, but then whose were they? She shivered again, barely able to control herself as she watched people she didn't know die, watch their loved ones die, feel sadness and pain. It was almost too much to bear.

 

Larxene was focused on murderously narrowing her eyes at the retreating Axel, wishing that somehow she could destroy him with the power of her mind. That will solve many a thing, in more ways than one. And she wouldn't lift a finger to do so. The rapid burning inside her made her feel incredibly rigid, an extreme pressure that was tempting her body to move and slam the man to oblivion. As such toys should meet their end. Especially with the act he just pulled. She was finding it difficult to control herself as the fury rushed to her head, making her slightly shake in an inner battle. Her nerves were itching to hit something, needing to. Wanted to tell Axel a lot of words, bad or good. She controlled herself, however, though she found it hard to swallow with her current state of hatred and rage. Even her sight was blurring. Trying to breath in evenly to cool down, she barely heard what Marluxia was saying. Yet, she gave the pink haired man a dirty look, before realizing he wasn't the target of her malice. Still, she was too high strung to just play nice. Perhaps she could ask for a spar from Marluxia to help her growing tension. Take out all the frustration. She ignored the question asked of her, not really caring as to who was here. She had sensed the foul stench of them, though, and being reminded of the dimwit Keyblade Hero and his band of idiots didn't improve her mood. More so when it reminded her of when she faded. How stupid. Stick by your friends. The fool had it too easy. It was like watching a real life version of the ridiculous and misleading children cartoons where they spoke of lies like the power of love and friendship. Hah. How sickeningly pathetic. Apparently, they did not explore the dark side of it all. And as if she didn't want to truthfully kill someone with her bare hands naturally, the merry group of losers that consisted of Xigbar and Demyx were bored enough to complicate things by appearing. When Xigbar spoke, someone had to give her the patience not to create a scene and launch herself at whatever possible tool was willing to make a remark on her. Teeth gritting, she attempted her best not to snap his bones right at the exact second, despite it being grueling, and simply hissed darkly, "The 'thunder witch' is contemplating whether or not to slit your throat. That's what I'm up to."

And she would have done something else as well, as her patience had thinned, and she had to have someone as her dummy, very soon. Actually, she should aim for Axel, as that was her main gripe since she had been alive, and the one that kept getting under her skin. She didn't care anymore about conduct. If it was not for Marluxia stepping in at the precise moment as she moved forward, what she had in her head would have come to fruition. Her eyes widened for a second when he began to push her toward a portal he made, before it returned to her tight expression, directing the figurative deadly daggers to him now. If it wasn't for the fact that this was Marluxia, the only one who did not stab her in the back, a person would be begging for mercy in this instant if she had her way. Her tone was sharp as it had been when with Xigbar. "What the hell are you doing?" Exhaling roughly, and about to rip away from his grip, she halted her action as he leaned down in her ear, blinking when he gave the explanation as to why he was daring to actually manhandle her. He, more than anyone, was aware that she did not like being done that to. She listened to him disdainfully, though, eyebrows furrowing as she frowned. Easy for him to say. He had never felt the thirst to kill someone this much. Or at least, when she was in the position of being highly short-tempered. Axel was right there for her to clutch. Then again, she also did not enjoy the company of the newcomers, and no doubt they'll be spouting off comments around the fight if it was done. She wasn't sure what to do, and she growled to herself, but didn't protest when Marluxia started to escort her out into the dark void amongst her indecision. She walked through it as the darkness fully covered her, somewhat reluctantly, wondering what was this all about. Stopping her from actually breaking someone...

OOC: Axel. Later.

 

Marluxia and Larxene went in and the portal closed. fail-safe protocol lolololololollololollol

 

It took everything Demyx had not to laugh out loud from Xigbar's true comments. Boy he could really put Larxene and Marluxia in their place as the lower members by rank and numberical order. Cleary being a senior member it was very typical. He heard the water boy comment, but it didn't faze him for he was used to being called names by the others and it wasn't hurtful at all. He watched Marluxia seize Larxene having her go in the portal with him like the hermit he was. Cleary those two would never learn their lesson and could be up to another plan once again. He shook his head at how stubborn the two were, but was glad that they were gone. He didn't need any insults as of now ones that would break his high spirits anyway. Glancing at Axel, he recalled the minacing look Larxene had given to Xigbar for his comment and it was a good thing Marluxia had pulled her away like he did. No one needed to put up with her inpatient nagging ways. It seemed the flurry of dancing flames was remainng silent for a reason or perhaps he had a lot on his mind. Instead, Demyx addressed Xigbar so not to be rude to him. "Actually I didn't really do anything except meet this silver haired guy Riku his name was and he was talking to one of our newer members. I forgot her name though. Of course, Riku didn't see my appearance as I had my hood on and before he could influence the newer recruit, I took her away to talk to her and explain what is going on. I don't know about that Riku guy though. He sounds like he is another Sora, but he also has darkness in him so maybe that's a good thing for us anyway." He waited to see if Axel would acknowledge him or not as he explained more about his meeting with Riku and Velexiria.

 

Velexira was still looking around a bit. "Hellooooo?"She called out, seeing if anyone would answer. "Helloooo?"She sighed. "Well, looks like we're gonna have to look around alittle more. C'mon, Spooky."Velexira went in another direction. Spooky went off on his own, sensing someone nearby. "Spooky! Uh-oh...Spooky don't you dare attack anyone!"Velexira followed Spooky to make sure he stayed in line.

 

"You're up to something," Larxene easily stated with an edge once they reached their destination, which was the training room, mood yet to change as she crossed her arms indignantly. She knew that he had something in mind ever since he had questioned her, but that was the last thing she was concerned about at the moment. Her anger was still withheld, and she didn't know just how long she was going to last before she fully snapped at anything that was in the near radius from where she stood. Her body was incredibly heated, and she even felt warm within her outfit from the blood rush, nostrils flaring as she had to do something to take off the aggravation. Somehow. She couldn't take her limbs and nerves so uptight any longer, and if she wasn't going to have the real Axel to throttle, a fake one will do good. She had to release the fury, and this was the only option left. Marluxia was smart to think of this particular place to take her to. It was going to be quite helpful in the long run. The vicinity was rather large, being that they had spars, simulations, as well as other objects to practice with. It was the official dojo for them, so to speak, and the huge space was needed being who they were. Without a word, she made her way to a large computer, machine more preferably, that was thankfully near where they transported, and simply typed certain things on the keyboard before pressing a button. It had been awhile since she had explored the castle. Or this training room. But she remembered how to work each and every one. Her days were spent here when she was utterly bored, and it took away the stress when she was irritated by some member's antics and wasn't allowed to kill them. Soon, there was a sound, consisting of beeps, and a sort of scanning noise, and "Axel" appeared in the center of the arena as the data went solid. That little pretentious smirk on his face. Goodness, if only it was the actual Axel. She will thoroughly enjoy wiping it from his face. And to think, in the past, she thought him handsome. He still was, she can begrudgingly admit, it just now it didn't have the appeal it did when she was a complete fool. Nonetheless, this silhouette will have to do for now, unfortunately.

Stepping to the center, she hungrily summoned her kunai between her fingers, sparks of electricity trailing the skin of her gloves. If Marluxia wanted to speak to her, it would have be while she's regaining her bearings. And it was only seconds later of that thought when the timer expired, and "Axel" darted towards her in turn. Smirking deviously, she did the same, and they clashed, having dodged his slash, and aiming her knives to his torso as she ducked. It was an illusion, true, but she could always pretend.

|☼|​

Axel didn't expect for Demyx to have shown up in the exact hall where he was, or rather, where Marluxia and Larxene were as well. They were only a few distances away from where he had walked, but, the company was not predicted. He did give the water wielder a lazy wave after scratching his head, and was about to say something in return, before his green eyes shifted to a thing he spotted behind him. It was quite far, but it was unmistakable that it was a mixture of a blonde set of hair and a familiar white dress that he knew all too well. And that captured his interest. Mostly in a bit of surprise. He truthfully was not aware that Naminé was also staying here in the castle. He had pondered the idea that since Roxas was out of Sora, the girl might be as well. He just didn't know that she resided in the same place as they all were. He smirked to himself in amusement, her actions from what he could tell being slightly sneaky with her careful movements, as she traveled the unknown paths. Did she even know where she was going? It was at that precise moment that Xigbar showed up as well. He was a friendly person, and he was well liked among everyone, so that wasn't a big problem. He shrugged, responding to his addressing him among everyone else present. "No." There was really nothing to report. They barely have even gotten missions, if at all. It was obvious to everyone they had people here that didn't belong, so that wasn't any great news. Still, seeing Naminé keep moving farther, he gave both Xigbar and Demyx a quick nod as some sort of weird farewell on his part, before heading out. It was leaving a bit too hasty, yet, he couldn't lose Naminé now that he had her cornered. Not to mention, she might help as to the whereabouts of Roxas due to their connection. Two birds with one stone.

Not losing sight of the female, he pursued her steps, oddly calm as he decided to portal to make things go faster, and less suspicious. More so now that she had disappeared from view.

 

Roxas walked to his room and sat down to his bed. He put his earphones on his head and started to listen to some music.

Katie walked around hoping to find someone who could tell her what's going on.

 

Dexen and Mayah were on the move in the castle again, going anywhere.

 

Katie heard some sounds near by. She was gonna go see who there was, but then she realized that the person, or persons, might not be very friendly. She took out her Sais and walked closer to the sounds to see Dexen and Mayah.

 

Velexira finnaly caught Spooky. "There you are! What was that about Spooky?"She asked. "There's noone here... great... Looks like we'll have to keep looking."Velexira sighed.

 

Mayah looked around, noticing a figure. "Hey, Dex, c'mon. This one might be friendlier then the grump we saw earlier."
Dexen nodded, still aching a bit from wherever her heart would be.

 

Katie eyed the two, but she decided walk forward to them to know where she was.
"Where am I?" Katie asked and decided to add: "And who are you?"

 

Mayah sighed. "I'm Mayah, the chess piece created by Miss E.A.M. This is Dexen, a nobody that literally just joined the Orginization as number XX."
Dexen held onto her sketchbook tightly, her mechanical pencil in her pocket. "We're... in a big castle..." she stuttered, not sure herself where she was.
