{Xoctts}

The sound of crashing filled the old Castle in the remains of Radiant Garden. The dim light that remained in the former world was fading as Xoctts pushed through the wreckage at one of entrances to the castle. More damage had been done to the castle since the attack on Destiny Islands by dark forces.

And the Betrayal.

Once again, Xoctts cursed the Witch's actions. Why had he trusted her? If he found the Void Witch again, he would avenge the fallen.

Feeling alone and hopeless, Xoctts leaned against a wall and slowly slid down into a sitting position.

 

{Xion}

Sora pushed himself up to his knees, the pain of his wounds nearly causing him to blackout. He looked around as his friends were being hunted down by a laughing figure.

"I'm not going to make it, am I?" He thought.

He looked down to see his wounds. He felt soo tired. But he had to do more.

"Roxas...Xion." He murmured. "This is your fight now."

Sora summoned his Kingdom Key. He turned it so that the blade was pointed towards himself and, like he had done to free Kairi's heart, he stabbed himself.

The point of view seemed to rise up as Sora slumped. He looked up in time to see a grinning face and red blades slashing for him.

"SORA!" Xion screamed as she shot up into a sitting position.

She pulled her legs to her chest and sobbed as the loneliness and sorrow filled her as she sat in the ruins of Twilight Town's Train Station.

{Xion}

Xion continued to stare out at the landscape, her face unreadable as she contemplated what Astra had said. Her eyes narrowed as she caught sight of some Gargoyle Heartless flying towards the castle, reminding her of the present danger in this place.

"We'd better get going." She said, resolve in her voice.

She started to get up, but remembered Zion's head on her stomach.

"Um, I know your comfortable, but I'm going to need to get up." Xion said a little guiltily.

 

{???}

"What an interesting specimen." Said a monotone voice out of thin air around Sigma G-32-A.

"Indeed." Said another, higher pitched voice.

It was hard to tell what gender the voices were, or where they originated.

"Perhaps the mechanical mortal will be of use to us?" The second voice continued.

Zion didn't move for a second, then sat up. She looked a bit sad, and leaned in to hug Xion.

"Will you smile more? Please? It breaks my hearts, seeing you sad..." she refused to let her face be seen. "Please?"

{Astra and Yuri}Astra noticed Xion's eyes and looked at the direction she was looking at."And the danger doesn't stop." He said.Yuri raised her hand and a dark portal appeared."I think that's our cue to leave this place."The young boy turned his head towards the replica and the wielder, sighing at the display."Let's hurry up girls. This place is not safe."With those words Astra entered the portal, Yuri followed after him.

Ken let out a growl, as he started channeling Darkness into his body, as he let out a roar. Tyler and Karen braced themselves, readying themselves to attack. They could tell that Ken was up to something, as they had a bad feeling. Ken let out a roar, as several large boulders, covered in Darkness, rose from the ground, floating around Ken, as Ken let out an evil laugh. "I think it's time you have a taste... Of My Dark Fissure!" Shouted Ken, preparing to attack. Ken sent the boulders flying at Vanitas, Tyler, and Karen.

Enno glared towards the Wraith underneath his mask. "Culled? Do not think us simple beasts to do with what you will." Enno said. He glanced towards Auron and nodded, insinuating that he was fully committed. They would end whatever this thing was here and now. "And if you do, be prepared to find out how sharp the beasts' teeth are." Enno concluded, flourishing his scabbard so that the barrel faced the Wraith. He shot once, aiming for where he had seen the metal orb before. In the half a second following the discharge of the bullet Enno had vanished. He blurred into sight again behind the enemy, and stabbed once again towards the floating orb.

~~~~

Kopiu nodded. So the plan was going well. That was good. "Then we should get out of here as fast as possible yes? Unless you want to hang around for some really nasty Heartless to show up and try us." The Replica said. He was ready to leave. He hadn't liked this world, not now, and not ever. He nervously touched the bangle upon his wrist, as if he was really worried about it.

Sigma heard voices. "Who's there?!" He looked around summoning his keyblade. "What do you mean 'of use?' Huh! Who the hell are you two. I probably need not warn you that I'm a powerful keyblade wielder!"

(Okay, let's see if I can get back in the flow of things here.)

 

{Xion}

Xion was a little shocked at Zion's plea. She just sat there for a moment as the blonde hugged her. It made her a little sad that she was causing Zion distress. And if two people had feelings like that for each, maybe that was a reason to smile. Xion took a moment to hug Zion back, before pushing her away slightly so they could see each other's faces.

"Let's make a deal." Xion said, then slowly smiled, her eyes twinkling a little. "We both keep smiling for each other. Together, we can get through this."

 

{Mercy}

Mercy switched her attention from the...bear to a new portal opening up. She braced for more trouble, but was relieved to see Astra and Yuri step out. Keeping an eye on Freddy, she sidled over to the two dark users.

"New comer." She said in a low tone as soon as she was close enough to Astra and Yuri. "Not sure what it wants. Everything went okay at the castle? Where are Zion and Xion?"

 

{Vanitas}

Underneath his helmet, Vanitas sneered. Man, this guy liked talking.

"Cut the chatter and friggin' die already!" The Dark Soldier yelled back.

Jumping suddenly, Vanitas briefly landed on one the boulders before pushing off it, using the new moment to fuel a diving slash at Ken.

 

{Auron}

The Wraith growled something as Enno's attacks hit the orb as he blinked in and out of visibility. Auron saw what the masked swordsman was going for, and moved in to assist. The Wraith started moving towards Enno, but was blocked by Auron, who sliced at the orb as well. The orb was resilient, but it was showing signs of damage from the blows it had received.

"All those who can not fight are culled." The Wraith rasped. "All those who refuse to fight are culled."

"Then you won't take me." Auron declared before slashing at the orb a final time before dashing out of the way.

 

{Xemnas}

Xemnas watched Kopiu for a moment before nodding.

"Indeed." He answered. "Though our quota of Heartless kills is far from full."

The Superior waved a hand to form a Dark Corridor back to his lab.

"Saix should have information on our next targets."

With that, Xemnas stepped through the portal. On the other side, he found Saix and Ansem looking worried.

"Problem?" Xemnas asked.

"We've lost sight of Ven." Ansem answered. "We think the Competition has moved against him."

{???}

"Indeed not." One of the voices said. "Your connection to that weapon is what attracted us. With it, you will make an adequate agent for us? Do you except? Your options are limited."

(I decided to remove Freddy from the RP, as it would be too much work.)

 

Ken laughed evilly, as he raised his Keyblade to try to block Vanitas' attack. "You shouldn't underestimate me. You may end up getting badly hurt." Said Ken, talking to Vanitas. Tyler and Karen jumped at Ken, casting Fire and Blizzard Spells at him. Suddenly, Xatsuno and Xetrodon appeared in front of Ansem and Xemnas. They were smirking at them, folding their arms. "Hello, foolish ones, I see you're still trying to do your plan... Too bad that we've decided to do away with you." Said Xatsuno, talking to Xemnas.

"Shut up!" Sigma said. "I don't know who you are but I ain't joinin' your bullshit! Now show me your face!" He was really angry. He summoned his keyblade. "Stop being chicken!"

(Life has been really busy as of late. I barely have any time to post anything. I blame school and work, but that's life.)

 

{Astra, Yuri and Aina}"Those two will be here shortly." Astra answered Mercy.Yuri was about to make a funny joke about the situation at the castle when Astra shook his head."Not in the slightest." He said. "There was a development in the situation. A strange and dangerous development."The white haired girl turned her had towards her companion."I just noticed you guys fighting, but I didn't sensed a thing besides you and the other two."Astra sighed and remained silent for a moment."There was another person there. Someone who can potentially be a problem to our cause. A girl named Lacuna or the "Void Witch" as she likes to call herself."The boy in the black coat turned his head towards the dark portal, his face devoid of any sign of emotion."There is a another issue I would like to make clear." He said as he looked back at Mercy. "Xion lost her Keyblade."Aina, who remained silent through the conversation, let out a gasp."What? How?" She asked."The Witch did something to her. All I ask is to be careful about what you say to Xion. She needs all the support you can give her."

Edited May 29, 201510 yr by Elrandir

{Vanitas}Rebounding off Ken's block, Vanitas landed in a crouch a few yards away. "Your the one having trouble taking on three 'weaklings'." He shot back. "Maybe you should listen to your own advice."There was a slight change in tone of Vanitas's words. Less the dark and condescending tones of the Dark Soldier and more the lighter tones of Ven. Lashing out with the spell Blackout, Vanitas sought to blind Ken. {Xemnas}Xemnas's hooded face turned to give Xatsuno and Xetrodon an assessing look."Saix, look into the other matter." He instructed.The Luna Diviner nodded, gave the two intruders a "next time" look before teleporting away in a swirl of darkness. "Funny." Ansem said darkly. "We aren't nearly done with you." Crossing his arms, Ansem began to levitate with his Guardian coming to life behind him. The Superior glanced briefly at Kopiu, then back at Xatsuno and Xetrodon."In case you haven't met our latest member, may I introduce Kopiu. Kopiu, these are Xatsuno and Xetrodon, members of our competition."{???}"Such passion." The high pitched voice observed. "Dangerous."There was few moments of silence before the voices started again."We will grant your request." The first voice said at last. "To remove your delusion that we are poultry."Three forms shimmered into view like a heat haze. They hovered 3 feet above the ground, the only thing discernible about them was their drab, grey cloaks that covered them from head to toe. Presumably."Your answer, mortal." Came the monotone voice again, and no sign which of the forms actually spoke.{Mercy}(To prevent Freddy's appearance from being a sticking point for the narrative, I'm gonna use him for something real quick.)Mercy's jaw tightened at the mention of Lacuna. That blasted witch was still ruining things."We'd better see if we can get Xion a new weapon, then." She said in a strained tone.Looking away from Astra and Yuri, Mercy glared out over the dim ocean, trying to control her feelings."Let me guess, after Lacuna did what ever to Xion, she left laughing, right?" She asked through gritted teeth.A little up the beach, the animatronic Freddy repeated the message he had said when he arrived. Anna titled her head, giving the bear a quizzical look. "You...said that." She said slowly, relaxing from her ridiculous battle stance.Freddy held out a rolled up piece of paper."Hot and fresh." It said, sounding like a worn recording.Anna reached out slowly, then snatched the paper from Freddy, then backed away. The animatronic made a sound like a sigh before pitching forward, landing face first into the sand. It didn't move.Anna stared at it for a few seconds before unrolling the paper and reading what was inside. What it said was thus: You are all being played. The Dark Emperor rises anew. Everything you know is a lie.

(Life has been really busy as of late. I barely have any time to post anything. I blame school and work, but that's life.)

(same. Silly life. Always trying to mess up my plans, heh.)

"Hmph. How fun. You guys seem like the life of the party you Competition folk." Kopiu said, though it was more of a growl than anything else. He clenched Soul Consumer in his fist. Unlike those other heartless, he doubted that these warriors would be nearly so easy to deal with. He glanced towards Ansem, who seemed about ready to fight. Kopiu nodded slightly. They'd wreck these two together, and get on with it. They had things to do after all. Kopiu's gaze shifted towards the Superior, waiting for the cue to start slicing.

~~~~

Enno flipped backwards in order to regain control of the situation. This stupid orb thing kept talking about culling. Who ever used the word cull anyway? Nobody. Yet this thing seemed devoted to its quest to cull those who don't fight. Which made no sense really. Why waste time killing people who aren't going to fight? You'd be better off trying to knock out people who actually posed a threat to your plan. Like him. Enno dashed in quickly, slicing with his sword three times in quick succession. He noticed a particular point on the orb that was showing a bit more damage than the rest, and shot three rounds right at it.

Ken growled in anger, and began to channel even more Darkness into his Keyblade, causing him to have a big Aura of Darkness coming from him, covering him. "That's it! You are going down now! I shall use the full power of my Darkness to take you out... IN THE NAME OF THE IMPERIAL KINGS OF ETERNAL DARKNESS!" Shouted Ken,talking to Vanitas, Tyler, and Karen. Ken's eyes started glowing red, staring maliciously at his foes. Tyler and Karen were completely shocked, as Tyler looked at Ken, glaring at him, but he could now truly sense something inside of Ken, struggling to break free. "I see now... Your Darkness is a prison for your true self...Ken... No...Gaia.... I shall set you free!" Shouted Tyler, talking to Ken. suddenly, Tyler's eyes started glowing a silver-colored Light, and suddenly, a pendant appeared around Tyler's neck, the pendant was colored platinum, and there was an Emblem hung on it, showing that it is the Keyblade Master Symbol, that represented the Keyblade Masters, in physical form, Ken glared on, growling angrily, backing away when he saw Tyler pointing his Keyblade at him, showing off a big Aura of Light, and the sky started showing Aurora Lights, pouring their power down into The Passageway Of Light Keyblade, giving it more power. "By the name of The Passageway To Light, you shall be purified!" Shouted Tyler, talking to Ken. Tyler fired an orb of Light from his Keyblade at Ken, hitting him, and causing an explosion of Light to envelope him, causing him to scream in pain, as the Darkness disappeared, and then, all of a sudden, a vision was transmitted into Vanitas, Tyler, and Ken's minds, showing them something from the past.

 

 

(Radiant Garden. Unknown Time Period In The Past.)

 

Ken, who was 9 at the time, was seen in the plaza of Radiant Garden, hanging around his parents, smiling at them, and holding his Mother's hand. He and his family were out spending time for each other. It was a Summer day, as the sun was bright. "Mom, when do we go to the beach? I really want to go." Asked Young Ken, asking his Mother a question. Ken's Mother looked down and smiled at Young Ken, patting his head. "Honey, we're getting ready to go tomorrow, and you can invite your friends. I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Ken smiled widely, and nodded, hugging his Mother. Suddenly, a robbed man appeared out of an alleyway, staring at Ken, and his parents, and created sharp daggers of Darkness, and aimed them at Ken's parents, and threw them right into their chests, causing them to fall over, dying instantly. Ken felt blood on him, as he fell with his Mother, and saw that his parents were laying dead in front of him. He felt tears falling from his eyes, whimpering as he looked at their corpses, which were now fading away into Particles of Light, floating away. Ken couldn't even say a word, until he smelled more blood, coming from the alleyway, where the man was, who was strangely not seen. Ken walked into the alleyway, and gasped in disgust, vomiting from what he saw. What he saw was causing him to feel like his Heart was breaking, his friends and other people laying dead, some people with bruises and cuts, and with their arms missing. Ken began to sob, and suddenly, the man reappeared behind Ken, causing him to look up at the man in fear.

 

 

(This Theme plays as the robed man performs his actions. - 

. )

 

"Hello, Ken, I've been waiting for this day.... To see you again... You are very useful to me, after, you know..." Said the man, talking to Ken. The man took out a card, looking like the one that he would later throw into Xavic, and dropped into onto Ken, who screamed in pain, as it burrowed into his back, but stopped as his eyes began to glow red. "Now, it was you who killed these people, and now, you shall join me in my plan." Said the man, talking to Ken. The man took Ken, and teleported away, ending the Memory. 

 

(End Theme here.)

 

 

(Xatsuno And Xetrodon.)

 

 

Xatsuno and Xetrodon stared at "Ansem" and Kopiu, smirking evilly. "So, you wish to fight us? Normally, everyone flees for their lives upon seeing us, but you should provide us with "Entertainment", as we slowly destroy you both, and make you feel true despair and TRUE Darkness, as I, Xatsuno, the strongest Heartless of the ancients, the very first Heartless to ever be born, break you both so much that you'll never recover." Said Xatsuno, talking to "Ansem" and Kopiu. Xatsuno summoned The Passageway To Darkness Keyblade to his hand, as Xetrodon summoned his Keyblade, with it resembling the Chaos Ripper Keyblade, but colored gray with a longer shaft and spikes on it, and with a twisted and upside down version of the Keyblade Master Emblem on the sid eof the head of the blade, and pointed it at "Ansem" and Kopiu. "I think you should know me as we slowly put you through pain.. I am Xetrodon, the very first Nobody to be born, back in the ancient past.. Xatsuno and I were born to carry out our Master aka original self's Will, and drag all Worlds into the Darkness, and destroy all of the Light, and make Kingdom hearts the banner of all Darkness." Said Xetrodon, talking to "Ansem" and Kopiu.

 

 

(Okay, guys, this is what I could think up while trying to speed this RP up.)

"Just be glad I don't think of you as poultry otherwise I'd have secured my dinner." Sigma calmed letting his Keyblade despawn. "So who are you anyway?" He asked his voice a lot quieter. "Also why are you wearing such tacky outfits? It makes you look stupid. What you gonna tell me that there is some secret society across the worlds?"

{Astra, Yuri and Aina}"Yeah, something like that. A new weapon for Xion is indeed needed." Astra answered Mercy.The young man noticed Mercy's effort to control her feelings. Something he did on a regular basis."I was amazed by how the fight felt, but I didn't imagined that this "Lacuna" was so strong." Yuri said.Astra nodded slowly and made a small nod towards Mecy."And by the tone in your voice I must assume that you known the Witch, don't you?"Aina was a little out of her league with the whole witch thing, so instead she went with Anna."Did you found anything from that strange bear?" She asked as she saw the piece of paper. "What does it say?"

{Xemnas}

"Hmm." Xemnas grunted. "If that's what we sound l like during our introductions, brevity might be advisable. Deal with them."

Xemnas turned away and began working on his computer as Ansem switched places with his Guardian, and charged forward, blowing past Xatsuno and Xetrodon.

 

{Auron}

Enno's aimed strikes nearly cut the orb in half. There was a fizzle of electricity, and a grunt of pain from the Phantom. He tried to strike back at Enno, but Auron sprang in, using his good shoulder to knock the Phantom away. The Guardian swung his katana in an arc at the Phantom, who quickly rolled away to avoid the blade.

"Could it be possible that your advantage is lost?" Auron asked as he hefted his weapon to his shoulder.

"Hmm." The crouching Phantom said. "To strong to cull. A more difficult destiny, perhaps?"

 

{Vanitas}

Vanitas shook his head to get the vision out of his head. It was pulling on Ven's heart strings, and Van didn't need the idiot confusing the issue. It was bad enough that the idiot was making him work with Tyler and Karen.

"Just finish him." Vanitas told Tyler, aware that his control over the body was slipping away.

 

{???}

"Many believe them secret." One answered Sigma. "But we are unknown because we have not needed form before."

"We are emissaries of Oblivion, come to reclaim a universe past its existence span." Another added.

 

{Mercy}

Mercy nodded.

"Lacuna was the one who betrayed Sora and the other Lights." She explained, a trimmer in her voice. "Killing most of them. I managed to get away after Riku distracted her."

Anna handed the note over Aina.

"Something about what we know being a lie." She said, looking around the group. "Also, something about a dark emperor 'rising anew'. Anybody know what that means?"

Tyler raised a hand, as he saw Ken faint. "There will be no need to finish him off... As I sense the Darkness within him disappeared... He is free." Said Tyler, talking to Vanitas. Karen looked at Ken and Lara, who were unconscious, smiling in relief. "We'll send them somewhere where they'll be safe until they recover... Ken is no longer under the Empire's control..." Said Karen, talking to Vanitas. Karen snapped a finger, and in a flash of Light, Ken and Lara were teleported away. Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Imperial Kings Of Eternal Darkness somewhere deep with the Realm Of Darkness, Darkness was seen gathering to the man cloaked in Darkness, who was sitting on his throne, with the other members watching, as he started laughing evilly. "Finally... I have enough power... I.... AM BACK!" Shouted the man, talking out loud. The Darkness cloaking the man disappeared, revealing a young man with long silver hair, purple eyes, and an ancient armor, with a twisted upside-down version of the Keyblade Master Emblem on his chest, with a black-colored cape on his back, this man was in fact Xecracus, and he let out another laugh, as the Darkness from him started radiating from him to other Worlds. Xetordon and Xatsuno sensed this, and smirked evilly at "Ansem" and Xemnas, as Xatsuno sent balls of Darkness from his Keyblade at Xemnas. "It seems that "He" has finally returned... Hehe..." Said Xatsuno, talking to "Ansem" and Xemnas.

{Astra, Yuri and Aina}"Is that right?" Yuri asked. "Sounds like a lot of troubles for just one person, don't you think?"Astra's eyes remained on Mercy for a few seconds before they move towards his companion."She is not to be taken lightly." He said flatly. "I can vouch for that."The white haired girl stared at the boy in the black coat with a curious look."You speak as if you knew her personally, Astra." She said. "Before the fight I mean."Astra took Anna's question as the sign to disregard Yuri's, turning around to face the girl. Of course, Yuri noticed the young man's action, but she chose to not pursue the subject."A Dark Emperor?" Yuri repeated. "Who knows. Any jerk can use the title of emperor."Aina looked around for a moment then she spoke."I think I remember an old legend told by the ancient denizens of the Dark." The dark haired girl said. "It spoke of a great war between two kings who fought for the control of Kingdom Hearts. The King of Darkness wanted to control the World while the other wished to protect his people.""What happened?" Astra asked."Um...sorry, I don't remember much." Aina bowed slightly in shame. "There is something about a God, something about what many theorize are the first pureblood Heartless and the first Nobody. That is all I can remember, sorry."

-Zion-

 

When Xion said that, the angel teared up slightly. She then kissed Xion square on the mouth with no preamble. She kissed her for maybe a minute, before pulling back.

"...okay."

Tyler raised a hand, as he saw Ken faint. "There will be no need to finish him off... As I sense the Darkness within him disappeared... He is free." Said Tyler, talking to Vanitas. Karen looked at Ken and Lara, who were unconscious, smiling in relief. "We'll send them somewhere where they'll be safe until they recover... Ken is no longer under the Empire's control..." Said Karen, talking to Vanitas. Karen snapped a finger, and in a flash of Light, Ken and Lara were teleported away. Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Imperial Kings Of Eternal Darkness somewhere deep with the Realm Of Darkness, Darkness was seen gathering to the man cloaked in Darkness, who was sitting on his throne, with the other members watching, as he started laughing evilly.

Xetordon and Xatsuno sensed this, and smirked evilly at "Ansem" and Xemnas, as Xatsuno sent balls of Darkness from his Keyblade at Xemnas. "It seems that "He" has finally returned... Hehe..." Said Xatsuno, talking to "Ansem" and Xemnas.

 

 

(This theme plays as Xecracus appears to his comrades, and as Xatsuo and Xetrodon speak to "Ansem" and Xemnas. -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDRZYCVGGQY )

{Vanitas}

Van sneered.

"If they turned once, they can be turned again." He warned. "Just look at me."

With that, he keeled over onto the ground, unconscious. After a few moments, a little darkness swirled around him, turning him back to Ventus.

 

{Xemnas}

Xemnas turned to hold out a hand. A barrier appeared from his finger tips and blocked the balls of Darkness.

"Right on schedule." The Superior murmured before continuing his work.

Ansem's Guardian grabbed into Xatsuno and slammed the old heartless against a wall.

"If you knew the true use for darkness, you might be a threat unto yourself, and not an errand boy for another." Ansem mocked.

 

{Mercy}

Mercy's eyes narrowed slightly at Yuri's question to Astra. She too decided not to press the matter, but she logged that away fro another time. If he knew how to destroy the witch, she would get that knowledge out of him.

"So, we were given a vague message to question everything." She said, annoyance in her voice. "Swell."

"Who sent it, do you wonder?" Anna asked, hesitantly.

She glanced back at where the rusted heap of the animatronic lay.

"That-that wasn't a living person, was it?"

"No, just an old robot someone repurposed." Mercy answered.

She sighed when she saw Anna's look of incomprehension. She sometimes forgot that not all worlds were on the same tech level.

"A toy you can wind up and it'll move. Even the voice you heard was a recording."

Anna looked like she finally got it. Mercy took a deep breath.

"Well, even with that, we got to keep going." She said. "I wish we didn't have to keep going back to Xemnas for Princess locations."

 

{Xion}

Xion was a little breathless from Zion's kiss. It took her a moment to process it, but she managed a little smile at the blonde.

"Let's go." She said softly, clinging to Zion.

She shivered slightly. She was tired of the darkness. But maybe she had found a little light she could hold onto.

"We'd better see that the others aren't planning something adventurous without us."

Tyler and Karen quickly rushed over to Ventus, and knelt by him, feeling worried about him, as they tried to shake him gently to try to wake him up, and held his hands in theirs. Tyler could tell that this may not be the last time Vanitas would show up, and next time, he and the others could be in danger. He had to put those thoughts aside, as he was more worried, scared, and concerned about his friend, and that was his current priority, not noticing Xterly standing behind a brush of trees behind him and Karen, who then disappeared to somewhere. Master Thomas looked at Mercy, and sensed Xecracus' presence, and looked at them. "I just sensed something... Dark and pure evil... It can't be..." Said Master Thomas, talking out loud to everyone in front of him. Xatsuno only laughed evilly, as he pointed a hand towards "Ansem". and charged up a ball of pure Darkness in it, and fired it from it at him. "Foolish Heartless of man, it seems that you are stubborn... It seems that we'll just have to show you how powerful we can be... Xetrodon, let's use "That"." Said Xatsuno, talking to Xetrodon. Xetrodon looked towards Xatsuno, and nodded, smirking sadistically. "Well then, let's get on with it." Said Xetrodon, talking to Xatsuno. Xatsuno and Xetrodon started to get covered in Darkness, and they both turn into streams of pure Darkness, and fuse together into a huge ball of Darkness, and then it started to transform into a huge Dragon-like creature, with a pure black body with a pair of large demonic wings, with spikes all over them, long, sharp claws, demonic-looking guillotine-like blades on it's arms,  long neck, and a demonic Dragon head filled with rows of sharp teeth, and glowing purple-colored eyes, and with a tongue flowing from it's mouth. "We are the manifestations of Fear and Despair... We serve the Dark Savior... We are Xeroz." Said Xeroz, talking to "Ansme", and Xemnas, with the voice being that of a combination of Xatsuno and Xetrodon's voices.

"Stop speaking of destiny." Enno growled, backing up from the object. He looked at the odd mechanical thing, and gripped the hilt of his blade harder. It may be hardy, but little could stand up to this. "And culling. Personally, neither have done me much good." The Swordsman said. He reached past his block on the darkness that infested him, and transferred the energy into his blade. He narrowed his eyes as he completed charging up. In a blink of an eye and with a visible trail of darkness, Enno was on the other side of the orb, blade outstretched. He whipped it through the air and slammed it back into his scabbard. Enno turned back, and completed the move with two words. "Dark Zantetsuken."

~~~

Kopiu groaned. "Your endless talk of true darkness is getting old. Surely you have some other card to pull, that might be a tad more interesting?" He said. Of course, right after that, his two opponents turned into one dragon. The Replica shrugged. "Your getting there." He admitted. Kopiu bumrushed the dragon, Soul Consumer at the ready. He leaped into the air using darkness to power himself higher. Kopiu slashed horizontally at Xeroz's eyes powerfully in midair.

{Astra, Yuri and Aina}Yuri rolled her eyes and shrugged."It may not be the best option, but he surely knows his stuff."Astra then looked at Thomas before closing his eyes."How strange." He said. "It seems that we got ourselves a new problem in our hands."Aina turned around to look at the boy in the black coat."Problem? What kind of problem?" She asked.The young warrior remained silent for a few seconds before he gave his answer."Something dark and powerful."
