Way_to_Dawn

GAH! Why didn't I pick up on that obvious detail!? plays heavy metal music on my guitar, the noise and awesomeness being so high it melts ven's brains! DANCE WATER! DANCE!

Namine makes ven forget who he is, and so he commits suicide from despair.

Stabs Terra with the X-Blade

In USA, you shoot gun. In Soviet Russia...GUN SHOOTS YOU!!!

Ryax watched others go and smiled, knowing he had finally found redemption. "Thank you Texsera, Dexer...you two showed me the Light..." he said as he closed his eyes and released the power, creating a cataclysmic explosion that destroyed the entire Dark Keybearer Army. When the light faded, Divine Valor was on the ground, and next to it, Ryax's armor, with Ryax having been completely destroyed by the light. (Okay, I'll need to make a new character, or I could just use an Org XIII member...)

Ryax watched him run off and leaned against a tree, deciding it would be best to get some sleep. Tommorow, the REAL fight would begin. Many plans went about in his head, and of all those, he had to choose one as a suitable course of action. (All according to plan...) he thought.

At this, Ryax found strength within him he never knew he had. He stood up and ran over to Austin, pushing him aside and absorbing Kingdom Hearts, aware that he would be destroyed by its power. "Get out of here, now! I won't be able to contain its power for long!" he shouted frantically.

"All's forgiven..." Ryax replied, "I hold nothing against you...but I need to set things right...and that means that somehow, I have to reverse the damage caused by Master Ryax." He recalled Divine Valor and lied down, stretching out his sore limbs as he did so. "I don't know how I can answer for the atrocities he commited."

Ryax almost laughed at Reed's blunder but walked over to him and helped him up. "You okay Boy?" he said, "You know, it's never good to rush yourself..." He wasn't lying about this being hallowed ground, as this was in fact a burial ground, but doubled as his HQ. However, nobody knew this, as everyone else had hidden long ago.

Ryax let out an almost primal scream as his heart was struck, the X-Blade dissappearing in a flash of light. Within seconds, he had transformed back into the normal Ryax, who now lay on the ground, his helmet having slipped off. He was far from dead, but he was critically wounded. "Master Ryax!" two Dark Keyblade Knights exclaimed as they helped him up. "What? I'm not Master Ryax..." Ryax replied to them. "You have his heart, and his family is our family" one of them replied. At this, Ryax's eyes widened in surprise. "His...his heart!?" he exclaimed, holding his chest and feeling an unfamiliar beat, "...how is this possible?" He shrugged the others off and looked at the others sadly. "I'm sorry Texsera, I must set things right" he said, "I'm going to release all of my power to return to whence it came. You won't be affected by the blast as long as you look away..."

At this, Ryax noticed the newcomer and turned towards him. "You're on hallowed ground, you shouldn't be here" he said sternly, "Leave now and I will forgive your transgression." He didn't summon his Keyblade yet, if only to put up a peaceful facade. He was an impossible man to read; nobody ever knew exactly what he was thinking.

(Ryax's wings are part of him, they can't be knocked off) Ryax slashed Texsera away from him, knocking her to the ground. He kicked away her Keyblade and placed a foot on her chest, pinning her down whilst pointing the X-Blade at her neck. "I made a promise to someone, that I would return to them, and I intend to keep it" Ryax said in a tone that betrayed his feelings, as Kingdom Hearts had, without him knowing it, restored his heart. He really didn't want to kill them, ever, but he felt there was no other way. He raised the X-Blade to finish Texsera when suddenly he stepped off of her, his arms outstretched. "What!? What's this!?" Ryax exclaimed just as a figure of pure light appeared in front of him; it was the young Ryax, the one that had appeared at first in Twilight Town, and Master Ryax's vessel. "Texsera, you have my keyblade, Divine Valor, turn it on me, before its too late!" he shouted frantically as he tried to hold back Master Ryax. "If you kill me, there will be no one to stop Ahtxson!" MAster Ryax shouted angrily, "Don't be a fool!"

Ryax poured all his power into the X-Blade, shattering his opponent's weapon before stabbing Ahtxson right through his heart. Ryax grinned in triumph beneath his helmet and said, "Game, Set and Match..." With that, Ryax fired a beam at him, slamming him into the ground to add insult to the probably fatal injury. "I am invincible in this state! You can't deny me what is rightfully mine!" he shouted furiously, "I will regain all that had been taken from me!"

(SOMEWHAT!? I COULD'VE WIPED THE FLOOR WITH YOU!!!) Ryax listened to his General's report and nodded; his enemy was in total dissarray and confusion. Ryax's strike had been sudden and direct, which of course left his foes reeling in shock. "All according to plan..." he muttered.

Ryax, floating above his army on an angelic and a demonic wing, pointing the X-Blade towards his former allies. "Now, the beginning of the New World Order neccisatates we take those ones out" he said, "Left flank, right flank, advance and surround them, cut off their escape!" With that, the left and right flanks of his army began moving rapidly to encircle his foes. Ryax, meanwhile, pointed the X-Blade at Autxson and fired a beam that shattered his foe's shield, almost completely destroying the man as the attack slammed into him and sent him flying.

Ryax recalled the X-Blade; he was far too powerful to be stopped. Around him, Ryax's comrades, the Brotherhood of the Fallen, was returning to him one by one. "What is thy bidding my Lord?" Ryax's second in command asked. "My brethren, her me now!" he shouted as he quickly absorbed Kingdom Heart's power. "Let us march on to victory, the Worlds will be reunified with me as its leader! The infinite wisdom is ours!"

(You're too late terraxaqua) At this, Ryax began absorbing its power as well, the X-Blade glowing brightly with its power. "At long last, I will regain what had taken from me! The Worlds will be unified once again!" he shouted as a blast of light surged up from his blade, "Rise, my Armies, you are once again free! Let us finish what we started!!!" He turned to Autxson and slashed him across the back, critically injuring him with the X-Blade pointed at his neck. "You're finished..."

At this, Ryax's eyes widened in shock with a sobering realization. "He intends to complete the X-Blade!" he exclaimed, "and he has nearly everything he needs to do it!" Ryax summoned Divine Valor and placed it in Texsera's hand. "You can borrow my Keyblade for now, I'll use the Incomplete X-Blade..." he said, "But perhaps the only way to prevent him completeing the weapon...is to complete it first, then USE it to destroy HIS." Then he turned around, shook his head and said, "We should've unlocked his Heart when we had a chance..." he said, not mentioning that Autxson and Ashlynn's Hearts were each of pure light and pure darkness, which would allow him to complete the X-Blade himself. He opened a dark corridor and stepped through, emerging at Kingdom Heart's door. As Autxson presented the Keyblades, Ryax siezed the chance, and absorbed the hearts contained within the Keyblades into the X-Blade, at long last completing the weapon. "Thank you Autxson, but I think I'll take over from here!" he exclaimed, "The X-Blade is complete, and MINE to control once again!"

Makes terraxaqua smell the sock my friend had worn for six months straight. He is killed by my imporvised biological weapon's stench.

Within a few minutes, Ryax was conscious again, and his armor regenerated. He stood up and looked at the Wolves around him, who were all looking at him threateningly. "You don't scare me" he said flatly when he noticed Dexer was fighting Autxson. (I KNEW this would happen...) he thought. "Like I said, you should've listened while you could, but it's too late..." (If only they knew that Kingdom Hearts is more than a cause for war), he thought, (whoeverso can control it gains infinite wisdom and power, and full mastery over both light AND darkness. THAT is why it is the only thing that can reunite the Worlds...)

Ryax was in so much pain from the impact that he couldn't move at all, his armor badly damaged as well. He recalled his Keyblade and looked into Dexer's eyes. His gaze was one of distrust and hatred, as would be expected, but there were also traces of something else: despair, but for what? "I...I'm sorry...Emily...I'm sorry..." Ryax muttered as he slipped into unconciousness...

"A War...you don't think I know what war is like!? You don't think I know what its like to see everything around you come crashing down!?" he shouted furiously, "You are talking to the one who STARTED the most deadly WAR of all time! I have the blood of BILLIONS of my hands, friends and foes alike!" He moved into a fighting stance and charged his blade with as much dark energy as he could, the one eye made visible by his shattered helmet glowing bright yellow. "I would give my LIFE a THOUSAND times over to obtain the one thing that can restore all that time and conflict have taken from me!" He squeezed his eyes shut momentarily to fight back what he felt to be tears, but a single one escaped and was barely visible against his face. "Forgive me..." he said, "But if you try and stop me, I WILL fight back..."

"Kingdom Hearts has cost me dearly Texsera, but my desire for it is all I have left. I have everything to gain and nothing to lose" Ryax replied, "You won't get in my way! I made a promise, and I intend to keep it!" Ryax, although not showing it, knew he had made a huge blunder by mentioning the promise, not the one that he would be avenged, but the OTHER promise he had made to Emily all those years ago. He recalled the X-Blade, which dissappeared in a swirl of darkness, and summoned Divine Valor back to his hand. "If you intend to get in my way, I will make you suffer!" he shouted angrily, "That goes for all three of you, even the demon-possessed one!"

"You have much to learn about War..." Ryax muttered as he entered a Dark Corridor and dissappeared. He emerged at his temporary headquarters, with two Keyblade Knights guarding the entrance. "Welcome back my Lord" the said in unison as the stepped aside to let him through before filing in behind him to provide a security detail, not that Ryax needed it. He entered a room with several Knights inside, with one of them taking note of Ryax's presence. "ATTENTION!!!" he shouted, each one of the Knights standing ramrod straight. "At ease..." Ryax replied as he talked to one of his Generals to obtain a strategic report.

At that, Ryax had an idea...a very dangerous one. "If you want Kingdom Hearts, the easiest way to obtain it is through the X-Blade, which I have here save one component" Ryax said, gesturing to the X-Blade in his hand, "I need a heart of pure light and a heart of pure darkness to infuse with it. Only then can we obtain Kingdom Hearts." Then he turned away and muttered in a sad tone, "...and I can see Emily again..."
