(Although it was never specified in FF: Incarcerated, this RP takes place in NYC. For me, at least. I'll probably leave anyway.)

Callum turned off the TV and looked at his clock. It was 2:00 A.M. He couldn't sleep ever since he learned a powerful game villain was inside him. Vanitas. Ever since Vanitas possessed him (If he did, maybe he was in there since birth, so gained influence) Callum had been a jerk. He didn't have any friends now. I hate you, Vanitas! He heard a scoff. Really? Do you? Callum summoned his keyblade. "I won't let this take me over. Vanitas, you won't win." His void gear looked ominous. Too ominous.

Alexis laughed. “I like the sound of that.” She traced her finger along her cheek, where a scar now remained. Most people wouldn’t have thought it looked that awful, but to her, it was a flaw that simply could not be overlooked. And Felix was going to pay dearly. “The sooner we get there and ‘set up shop,’ the better.”

"Alexis...I think it looks hot," Scott said with a wink, "We'll give him what he deserves...we'll take it out of his flesh." Scott said. Then suddenly the plane landed in Georgia. "He's not here...but I can sense him to the Northeast...close....very close...I'd say...South Carolina. We should head there piolet," Scott demanded. The plane then refuled and took back off.

Callum shook his head, and murmured (kinda to himself and Aqua), "He's getting stronger. It won't be long before he try's something drastic. I don't know what to do. When he took over, I was miserable."

 

Joy parked the car, and opened his door. "We're here. I'll go talk to my parents." He walked up the steps on the old house, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. No one answered. He tried again, to the same result. 'This was the house I grew up in, right?' Cloud spoke up. 'Now is not the time to doubt yourself.' 'I get that, Cloud.' Joy kicked open the door, and out came an old smell. The house hadn't been used in a while. His parents were gone.

Aqua sighed. She felt helpless, and had no idea how to reassure Callum at this point. “Callum...if you need anything, just let me know,” she said, a hint of sadness in her voice. She got up and walked back into the house, letting Rebekah take back control. Rebekah went into the bathroom and showered, then changed into her pajamas. Once she was out of the bathroom, she paused in front of Felix’s door. She felt the need to say good night to him since she hadn’t been able to before, but she was afraid he might already be asleep. She thought of sneaking into his room and kissing his cheek, and the thought of it made her blush. She went in anyway. It was dark in his room, so she couldn’t see whether he was still awake. Judging by how quiet it was, though, she guessed he was asleep. She tiptoed up to the bed and leaned over, estimating where his face would be in the darkness.

------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew felt a little awkward just hanging around a small group of people with all their little drama and whatever, but he shrugged and went inside the house. He went into the bathroom and stripped down to his boxers, toweled himself down the rest of the way and hung his clothes up to dry. He went into the living room and laid on the couch, not caring who saw him in his lack of attire, and soon fell asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah watched Joy curiously, and was surprised when he kicked the door open. She got out of the car and came up to him, then glanced at what was beyond the doorway. She gasped, then put her hand on Joy’s shoulder. “Joy...I’m so sorry.”

Felix heard the sound of footsteps and got out of his covers...she was there! He could now see in the dark...but also the stupid street light decided to start working and illuminated his room. "Well hello there!" he whispered softly. He smiled and kissed her, and asked, "Come to say goodnight?"

 

Scott smiled as the plane finally touched down in SC. He got off as soon as it stopped, and waited for Alexis to join him. There was a taxi waiting for them at the airport, and he knew just what to do..so he killed the driver, threw him on the runway, and got into the car. He couldn't give the taxi driver exact directions, so he'd drive the two of them himself, and they could plan without using any kind of jestures this way.

“Yeah...I thought you’d be asleep,” Rebekah replied, her blush deepening. “Well, anyway, good night,” she said with a nervous laugh.

------------------------------------------------------------

Alexis got her things and exited the jet a little ways behind Scott. She watched as he threw the body of the cab driver out onto the runway, shrugged, then got into the taxi with Scott. “Alright, how far is the nearest abandoned butcher shop?” she asked.

"Well, goodnight cutie. Have good dreams, and I'll see you in the morning!" he said with a smile.

 

Scott shrugged and said, "Well..it won't be abandoned...we'll have to kill the owner, but I'd say it's three blocks from here. Oddly enough it's also four blocks from the inhabiters." He smiled as he drove out away from the airport, and then down the road. Once he reached the butcher shop he killed the owner like he said he would, and stuck the man's body in the meat freezer. It was a clean shop...and he'd have no trouble cutting into Felix with the various electric blades that were available...it'd be fun, and easy.

Rebekah hugged Felix and went to her own room. It took her a little while to fall asleep after catching Felix awake like that, and also being in an unfamiliar place, but when she finally did drift off, she slept deeply and peacefully.

------------------------------------------------------------

Alexis looked around the butcher shop with pleasure. So many nice toys to play with. She couldn’t wait to get Felix here. “So, they’re only four blocks away, you said?” she asked Scott.

Felix couldn't sleep...his mind was about to make him do something that was very much unbecoming of the Southern Gentleman he wanted to be. So he put on his regular clothes and hopped on out the window. He started jogging down the road, he passed three blocks when he sensed a familiar person...Scott. 'Great...didn't need that, but now I can finish him,' he thought. He ran straight for him, and busted in finding Scott with Alexis...

 

Scott turned to Alexis and said, "No...he's here now...hello Felix. We were just talking about you."

Alexis grinned darkly. “Indeed we were. How’ve you been lately? And how’s Rebekah? Won’t you sit down?” She gestured towards an empty metal chair.

Felix smirked. "Oh, I'm good. Same old same old, I love what you did with your face! That scar takes years off, wouldn't you say so Scott? Ah, Alexis, you'll be a full fledged beauty queen again. Next thing you know you'll be beinge drinking with James and Ethan while Scott's six feet under, and worm chow," Felix said laughing. He ran his hands through his hair and laughed. "You guys are a freaking joke, ok...let's get this going. I've gotta go jog to the beach," he said smiling.

 

"Alexis, you may have the honor of the first strike. He is your kill after all," Scott said smiling.

 

"Gonna make your little lady do all the work huh?" ,Felix asked, "Oh...I'm sorry...I offended you. Not a lady at all are you?"

Alexis began to shake with rage, but managed to keep herself under control and brought out Larxene’s knives. Her voice was hardly her own when she said, “Oh, Felix, believe me, before I’m done with you, your face...no, your entire body will be contorted beyond any shadow of recognition. And even then, I’ll make sure death doesn’t come to relieve you for several more hours. If possible, I’ll even turn those hours into days.” She warped behind him and attempted to kick the back of his head.

Felix dodged, and went to punch up. "Oh, I love it when you nightwalkers talk dirty!" ,he said laughing.

 

Scott jumped in, blocked the punch, and hit Felix in the ribs. Felix felt extreme pain, but he returned and hit Scott square in the jaw. Scott was knocked onto his back. He lay there astonished, and in awe. That guy hit hard.

'Watch it Scott,' Marluxia sneered.

'I didn't think he could hit!' ,Scott yelled, 'No matter.'

 

He got back up, then hit Felix six times in the abdomine, and knocked Felix against a wall.

Felix stayed there to recooperate.

"You...fight ok...but I bet she can't..." ,he said laughing.

“Watch me,” Alexis snarled. She ran at Felix and swept her leg across the floor to knock his feet out from under him, and also got ready to slash his cheek with her knives.

Felix didn't know what hit him, the next thing he knew he was flat on his butt, and was bleeding from his face.

'We're getting clobbered here Felix...let me try to seduce Larxene,' Axel thought.

'You're a dumbass if you think that'll work Axel,' Felix thought.

'Well..how about my last rights huh?' Axel thought.

'You aren't Catholic and we're not about to die!!!' Felix yelled.

He immediatly stood up and punched at Alexis's scared face as hard as he could.

 

Scott ran over and punched Felix right in the gut which caused Felix to drop to his knees.

Alexis screamed in pain and anger when Felix punched her. She was tempted to just kill him now...but she knew she would regret it if she did. She needed to have her fun with him. Once Felix was on his knees, she grabbed at his throat with one hand to give him a painful electric shock.

"DAAAAAMN!!" Felix shouted. The shock made him fly into a wall and he was knocked out. Axel immediatly got control.

"Larxene!! I've always loved you!!" he shouted.

Scott started laughing, and kicked Axel in the chest knocking him out.

"Wow...that was weird. What do you say we put him on the meat hook, and one of us goes to pick up his girlfriend huh?" ,Scott asked.

Larxene was caught off guard by Axel’s statement, but then she snorted. “Idiot. Nobodies don’t love. And after the way you betrayed Marluxia and me, I somehow doubt what you’re saying could be true in any way, Nobody or not.”

“Sounds delightful,” Alexis replied to Scott. She smiled and reached into Felix’s pocket for his cell phone. Once she got it out, she found Rebekah’s number and called her...

Rebekah woke up to her cell phone ringing. She sluggishly grabbed it and looked to see that Felix was calling her. Wasn’t he just across the hall? She accepted the call and put her phone to her ear. “Felix?” she asked groggily.

“Not quite,” Alexis responded.

Rebekah’s eyes flew wide open and she jerked up. “What...?!”

“If you want to say goodbye to your precious Felix before I take him out, you’ll need to come see me. Alone, of course. Don’t let anybody know where you’re going, or Felix’s suffering will be that much worse. I’ll open a corridor for you in 90 seconds. Once it’s open, you have 30 seconds to step through, or you’ll miss your last chance to see Felix alive. Got it?” Alexis hung up without waiting for a response. She then addressed Scott again. “I do believe I’ll watch as you hang our guest up before going to pick up his date.”

------------------------------------------------------------

Rebekah ran her hands through her hair and breathed heavily. This couldn’t be happening. Felix had been right there across the hall, and now his life was in danger? Aqua only confirmed this when she told Rebekah she couldn’t sense Axel. Rebekah jumped out of bed and threw her clothes on, summoned Aqua’s Keyblade, and waited for the corridor to open. There was no way Felix was going to die tonight.

Callum woke against the side of the pool, realizing he just fell asleep there, and realized something was wrong. Felix's presence was gone. He knew what to do. He swiftly climbed up the side of the house, and entered Rebekah's room through the window. "Hey, I think Felix is gone. Should we look for him?" He saw her up, keyblade summoned. "Uh, everything all right?"

 

Joy sighed, then smiled sadly. "Make yourselves at home."

Edited August 14, 201213 yr by Number XV

Scott laughed, picked Felix up, and brought him to the freezer. He then hung him up on a meat hook, which woke Felix up.

"Good...now time for you to show me some pain," Scott said laughing as he pushed him.

"GAHHH...No...I'm not going to let you...be satisfied," Felix said. He then started singing Garth Brooks's 'Friends in Low Places' and didn't miss a line.

Scott pushed harder, and even punched him while he swung. He'd make Alexis happy, or kill Felix trying.

Rebekah jumped and pointed the Keyblade at Callum before she realized who he was, then she relaxed...or rather, relaxed as much as she could at the moment, considering that Felix had been taken. She had no idea what to say. Alexis had told her to come alone. What would happen if Callum came with her? Besides, she could sense Aqua’s concern at having Callum come along and probably being in danger as well...

“I’m just...concerned about Felix, that’s all,” she replied shakily. “I’m not sure where he went and he won’t answer his cell phone, so I was just about to look for him. I guess the Keyblade’s a little unnecessary, huh?” She put it away before continuing. “What do you say we split up to look for him?”

------------------------------------------------------------

Alexis laughed. “Oh, don’t worry, Felix. This is just the beginning. Thanks for taking care of him, Scott. I’ll be back soon.” She opened a corridor and went to an open field in the middle of nowhere, miles from the butcher shop. Just a few more seconds before she opened the corridor for Rebekah to come through...

------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah hesitantly stepped into the vacant house and looked around, mystified as to why Joy’s parents would have left.

Keilani got out of the car and came into the house behind Mariah, not quite sure what to make of the whole situation. She wondered if they were actually going to stay here, and what they would do after they got settled. For some reason, she felt slightly uneasy about how quiet things had been for them, like they were in the calm before the storm. If they were going to start training, Keilani hoped it would be soon.

Scott pumbled Felix's ribs, and Felix kept on singing. "You're not going to stop huh?" ,Scott asked, "Would you sing a different song then?"

"Oh? You more of a Rock man? Here ya go," Felix said. He then started singing 'Hit me with your best shot.'

Callum was hesitant. "Felix wouldn't just leave, and splitting up isn't the best idea, is it? What if he was taken, and they were still around? Didn't you see the old Scooby-Doo cartoons? The pieces don't fit. Plus, I wouldn't know where to look."

 

Joy walked into the house. "You guys get comfortable. I'll start dinner."

Alexis made her preparations, taking out a bottle and pouring some of its contents onto a piece of cloth, making sure it was just the right amount. She only needed Rebekah to be knocked out for a couple minutes, and using this would ensure that she was out for the right amount of time. Hitting her in the head or shocking her...that was a bit more unpredictable, time-wise. She closed the bottle and put it away, then carefully placed the soaked cloth into her jacket pocket.

Time was up. Alexis opened the corridor and waited for Rebekah to step through.

------------------------------------------------------------

Rebekah’s head whipped around when the corridor appeared. There was no explaining this to Callum. “Please, Callum...don’t follow me,” she begged. She then ran through the portal and found herself in an open field, facing Alexis. “If you don’t want anyone following me, you should close the corridor now,” she said, trying not to sound too desperate.

“Oh?” Alexis said. “Well, we can’t have that, can we?” She reached out her hand and the corridor started to close.

“Where’s Felix?” Rebekah demanded, a sinking feeling settling into her stomach.

“Don’t worry, you’ll see him soon enough. I’ll bring him to you. But I need to make sure you won’t fight back with me.” She walked towards Rebekah slowly, her eyes shining.

Rebekah summoned Aqua’s Keyblade again and got ready to defend herself. “You know, for some reason this is sounding more and more like a trap to me.” Now she wished that she hadn’t charged ahead of Callum...it might be too late for him to come after her now. She hoped that whatever happened, he could at least make it through the corridor in time to see. “What did you do with Felix?!” she demanded again.

“Like I said, you’ll see him soon!” Alexis shot just enough lightning at Rebekah to knock her down and possibly daze her for a split second. Rebekah dodged it and shot Triple Blizzaga at Alexis, who jumped out of the way, but still got hit in the leg by the attack. She ignored the pain, ran at Rebekah, and slashed at her with her knives. Rebekah blocked several of the attacks and even managed to hit Alexis in the arm a couple times, but then Alexis’s knives made contact with her side. The pain distracted Rebekah for an instant as she clutched the wound and bent over slightly. Alexis smirked and warped behind Rebekah and grabbed her waist with one arm, whipped out the cloth from her pocket, and held it over Rebekah’s mouth and nose with the other hand. Rebekah started to scream and tried to fight Alexis off, but swinging the Keyblade at an adversary who had a grip on her from behind proved to be awkward and, well, incredibly difficult. As she tried to draw a breath to scream again, she inhaled a scent that was sickeningly sweet, and she started to feel dizzy and detached from her body. She realized what was happening and attempted to hold her breath, but she was already slipping into unconsciousness. It wasn’t long before she lost control of herself and had to breathe in again...and this time, everything went black.

Alexis sighed as the Keyblade dropped from Rebekah’s hand and her body went limp. “Didn’t expect you to go down without a fight,” she muttered. Rebekah had somehow managed to hit her in the back with her weapon before passing out, and it hurt like a bitch. Alexis threw Rebekah over her shoulder and opened another portal to the butcher shop. “Hey, boys!” she said mock-cheerily when she arrived. “Look who I brought!” She placed an unconscious Rebekah on the metal chair and tied her wrists to the arms of the chair. Alexis put her hand on the back of Rebekah’s neck and looked up at Felix. “She was wanting to see you. She’ll be awake in just a moment, then you can say goodbye to her.” Rebekah began to stir. Alexis waited eagerly for her to wake up so that she could make her scream in agony in front of Felix. Felix may be able to pretend to be tough while hanging on a meat hook...but seeing his loved one in pain would probably be a different story.

------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah followed Joy. “Are you okay?” she whispered, her voice full of concern and sympathy. “I just can’t imagine what’s going through your head right now...”

------------------------------------------------------------

Keilani nodded and settled down on a dusty couch, one of the few furnishings here, in the living room. She decided she had nothing better to do than to draw, so she started drawing the outside of the house as she remembered it from just a few seconds ago.

Joy shrugged it off. "I'm fine. I guess I should have expected this. Them moving."

 

Callum saw the flash of field, the girl, and he was scared. He appeared at the field, but it was too late. Vanitas spoke up. 'I can sense their presence. Let me take over, maybe I can distract them. But I warn you, I'll stay.' Callum nodded. "Anything for my friends." And then everything went black. Vanitas appeared at Rebekah and Felix, and talked to the girl. "You're pretty evil. I could never capture both." He was almost hoping Felix would get out of there.

(Is this alright, Always? Am I ruining the moment? I can edit it.)
