Keyblade Master Rixec

As a Cathlic my best advice is for you to ignore it. If it gets out of hand you can always tell a teacher or an adult you trust. And you don't have to hide your beliefs. If you don't believe that's fine. In this world it can be difficult when it comes to religion. Some people in the Church go to far when it comes to atheists and some atheists go to far on religion. We just need to be ourselves and accept our differences. I'm proud to be Catholic no matter what anyone says and you should do the same with your atheism. People always take this matter too far; we believe what we belive in and we should respect the belies of others.

I helped Lexa into a chair as I asked, “You sure?” “Never been more sure in my life. My intuition is never wrong,” she panted. Imagine how awkward that would be if it was, I thought. “Need anything princess?” “Don’t call me that!” she snapped but then her face softened. “But some water would be nice.” I smirked as I walked over and grabbed a glass by the sink. I filled it up with cold water and gave it to Lexa. She drank it down quickly and slammed it down. “Thanks,” she said. “This whole “worlds in trouble” thing must really have you worried,” I said as I sat down and crossed my legs. “More than you realize,” she replied. “Care to elaborate?” I asked. “Once everyone gets here. It’ll be easier,” Lexa sighed. “Suit yourself,” I said as I put my arms behind my head and kicked back. “You could act a little more concerned,” Lexa scolded me. “Once it concerns me I’ll act that way,” I replied cheerfully. “Unbelievable,” she said, frustrated. “I wish Rixec was here.” “Thems the breaks kid,” I smirked. “Don’t you have any guilt at all?” she asked. “Guilt? I’m innocent,” I laughed. “It was Rixec’s fault for nearly getting killed and Sephiroth’s fault for trying to save him. I’m just the result of their stupidity.” “You say it so proudly,” Lexa noted. “I’m alive aren’t I?” I said. “Can we reverse it?” she asked. “What?” I said sharply. “Your conditioning,” she said. “Can we reverse it and get Rixec back?” “Why on Nomura’s world would I do that?” I asked crossly. “Because it’s right!” she insisted. “Because he’s our friend! Because you shouldn’t be here!” In an instant I was off my feet and holding Lexa up by her throat. “Don’t. Push. Me,” I gritted. “Yo-you’re choking me,” Lexa gasped. “Then maybe you shouldn’t be so rude as asking me to die,” I said. “Not like that,” she wheezed. “What if the situation was reversed? What if your friend was gone and someone new replaced him?” “Rest in peace and welcome,” I said, softening my grip. “Is it that easy?” Lexa asked. “People die all the time and you always meet new people,” I said. “This is no different.” Lexa looked at me, with tears in her eyes. I smirked as I let her drop. She took a few moment to catch her breath before looking up at me. I expected her to cuss me out, to wish me dead, maybe even to fight me. But instead, she said, “I pity you.” I was taken aback by this. Pity? Or me? Ridiculous! I am right here! So this is how it will be? Very well. I almost feel bad for the new us. No, not really! “Shut up!” I said as I grabbed my head. “What?” Lexa said, startled. “Not you!” I snapped as I leaned up against a wall. “Are you okay?” Lexa asked. All three of us are suffering! We need to fix this! Then two must die. Not happening. That’s the only way this ends. The only way we have anyway. No! I believe in our hearts! We can make this work! “SHUT UP!” I roared as I threw my head against the wall, leaving a dent. The voices stopped and I was panting and sweating heavily. “Rixec?” Lexa said as she started walking over to me. “Not Rixec!” I gritted. “Not Sephiroth! I am Sephirix! I’m me! It’s all I have!” I shakily stood up and then fell against the wall and slid to my butt, panting. A few moments passed and I added softly, “And cocoa. I also have that.” Lexa looked terrified of me and unsure of what to do. But then she walked closer and sat down next to me. “What?” I asked. “Do you remember this?” she asked. I remembered, but it wasn’t mine. Rixec had done something like this for her a while back. I laughed miserably and said, “I don’t need your pity.” “I do want Rixec back,” she said. “But you’re here now Sephirix and we need your power. The worlds need you.” “I came here because I thought it be fun,” I said. “But everyone wants someone else.” “I guess we didn’t take your feelings into account,” she said. “I may be unorthodox,” I said, “but I’m still me.” “I’m sorry if I upset you.” “Can’t be helped,” I said. “No promises, but we’ll see what happens concerning Rixec.” “Thank you,” Lexa said as she gave me a hug and then walked back to her chair. I watched her with newfound interest as she did. Sephiroth found her amusing; Rixec found her amazing yet someone who needs a friend, even when she says otherwise. And me? I smirked as I thought of Vanitas’s reaction. I stood up and walked over to Lexa. “What is it Sephirix?” she asked. “I’m not Rixec, not Sephiroth,” I said. “I’m me. I know this because this is something they wouldn’t do.” “What do you me-,” she started to ask before I pressed my lips to hers. Her eyes bulged out and she started to squirm. I held her tight until my lips parted from hers. She looked up at me, stunned, and I smiled at her. “That was entirely Sephirix,” I said as I raised a finger to my lips. “And our little secret.”

I skid my bike to a stop, leaving a wide dent in the dirt of the world I was in. I looked up and grinned at the sight of Disney castle. “So they went to the old mouse for help, eh?” I laughed. The sight of the castle was magnificent and it would certainly be interesting to thoroughly explore it. I hopped of my bike and started walking up to the entrance, whistling the Superman theme. The moment I walked in I found myself surrounded by brooms that could walk on their own. Ah Fantasia, you never fail to disappoint, even in other worlds. “I’m looking for your boss, or maybe even his friends. Care to help?” I smirked. The brooms started to inch closer, leaving me no opening to run. If only they knew I had no intention of running. I pulled out my guns and pointed them at their – do they even have feet? “You get two options: move or splinters,” I laughed happily. The brooms jumped at me and I started firing. Their hairy halves blew away and their wooden bodies fell to the floor. Of course, being made of magic they started to repair themselves instantly. Well, at least they would give me a little more fun. I cocked my guns and took aim but then I grimaced and dropped my guns. I fell to my knees, clutching my chest. “Wh-what the?” I gasped. Get me out of here! You should be grateful for this. This was not what I had in mind! Then shall I give you what you wish? “Shut up,” I whispered. The brooms started closing in on me and then they leapt and started holding me down. I cried out as my heart burned; it seemed like it was a nuke about to go off. I was sweating heavily and the voices were louder. Give me control dammit! Think we would have more power if I took it. Give me all you got then! Shall I give you despair? “Shut up,” I whispered. Then I roared, “SHUT! UP!” I let out a magical explosion with the force of an erupting volcano. The brooms were disintegrated and the walls around me crumpled to dust. I slowly stood up and waited amongst the carnage. “Just what was that?” I asked myself. “What the hell?” I turned my head slowly and saw Xoncron standing at the end of the hall, horrified. “Who are you? Wait…. Sephiroth? What did you do?” “Now hold on…,” I grunted. “Your disguises won’t fool me!” Xoncron cried out as he summoned his Keyblade He lunged at me and I caught the blade with my hands. Something that’s normally impossible, but I had the powers of Sephiroth after all. “What did you do with Rixec?” “Uh, yeah, about that,” I said. “He’s gone. And so is Sephiroth. I hope.” “Firaga!” Xoncron cried and I jumped back to avoid the fireballs. “Enough with your crazy talk Sephiroth. Are you a new remnant of Sephiroth? One made to deceive us?” “Would you just listen?” I asked as I started to recover. Xoncron charged at me again and I sighed. I summoned One-Winged Angel and swung the blade. The force that emanated from it blew Xoncron back to the end of the hall. He hit the wall hard and fell on his butt. I walked over to him and knelt down. “Listen, I’m not Sephiroth or a remnant of him. I am partly him though. And partly Rixec.” “Wh-what?” Xoncron moaned. “Don’t you get it?” I sighed. “Sephiroth fused himself with Rixec.” To save his life, I might add.” “You’re lying,” Xoncron said, trying to stand up. “He’s not,” a high voice squeaked. I turned around to see Mickey, Lexa, and Vanitas behind us. Mickey looked concerned but ready to fight if he needed to and Lexa looked horrified. Vanitas, he looked somewhere between scared and amused. Mickey continued, “I can sense both Sephiroth and your friend inside him. But the one before us is neither.” “Correct,” I said. “I am Sephirix; all the powers of both but the crazy of Sephiroth and the mercy of Rixec. Remember that.” “Some mercy,” Vanitas observed as he looked at the surroundings. “Not my fault,” I said. “Something happened, something painful.” “That makes things worse,” Mickey said. “We should all go to my chambers and talk.” “Fine,” I said. “Got any cocoa?”

“All done,” I grinned as I put the last Ace card on the pile. I had used my light powers to create a deck of cards so I could play solitaire while I was locked up in this cell. The only tricky part was that they were colorless so I had wondered at times if I was playing a red or black card. “You look awfully calm for someone locked up,” Larxene laughed as she strolled by. “I’ve been in worse situations,” I yawned as I lay down. “Besides, I can get out of here whenever I want.” “Don’t bother trying to trick me,” Larxene smirked. “We even managed to hold Sephiroth so you’re no problem.” “Then I guess I’m screwed,” I shrugged. “You got any magazines?” “Just you wait; soon, you won’t have a care in the world.” “I’m doing that now,” I said. Larxene took off and I smirked as she did. Marluxia thought he could use me to fight Larxene and help him to the top but the moment we met she prepared herself for battle and I simply surrendered. It was too much of a hassle at the time. Besides, it would be good to figure out what they were up to. I stood up and walked over to the cell door. I put my hand through the bar and placed it on the lock. I let a small amount of magic work its way through and soon the locked clicked open. This cell might have held Sephiroth, but his powers were now combined with Rixec’s, and they weren’t prepared for that. I walked out and started whistling as I went down the hall. I climbed up the stairs and found myself in an empty hall. Guess they thinned out on guards after the cocoa incident. Made my stroll all the easier. I made my way down and soon felt a strange power. I walked into a room and from the looks of it it seemed to belong to Xoncron’s evil half. I could tell from the torture plans for Xoncron involving Justin Bieber. I started shuffling through his stuff when I noticed something hidden. I took it out and wolf whisled: a Kingdom Hearts Encoder. Evil Xoncron had been very busy. I heard something going on down the hall. It sounded like Xero and Evil Xoncron. It was time for me to leave. I walked out and summoned my black feathers to take me out of the castle. I landed outside, right next to my bike. I should have taken the Encoder, but I didn’t want to do anything unnecessary just yet. First, I should tell Rixec’s companions. Suddenly, I heard an alarm from inside the castle; guess they found out I escaped. I smirked as I started driving away. I could Larxene’s shrieks as I teleported off this world. I should try Xoncron first; he may be more understanding of Sephirix.

Banned for liking the post above you.

Granted, but it doesn't work. I wish Xoncron and Lexa could get over their writer's block.

I hummed cheerfully as I drove to Castle Oblivion. Interesting, I had expected to go to Xoncron, but I wound up here instead. “Oh yes, there’s that evil dark soul half thing; must have mixed them up. Oh well, I could use a little fun.” I hopped off my bike and casually wandered up to the front door. I grabbed the handle and pulled but it was locked. Unbelievable, what kind of world do we live in where people aren’t trusting enough to leave their doors unlocked so anyone can come on in? I could probably blast this door down, but I really didn’t want to get stuck with the bill for fixing it up. It’s a principle of mine. So I just knocked on the door and stood off to the side as I waited. “Yes?” a voice said as the door opened. I used my incredible strength to slam the door and when I heard a thud I opened it to see the doorman knocked out. “You always gotta have a peep hole,” I smiled as I walked in. Huh, I thought, this was much nicer than the last time I was here. I wonder if I should get whoever redid it to make me a house or something. I started skipping down the hall as I observed the place. It really was a nice place; and nice places tend to have cocoa! I was mildly upset I didn’t get mine back in Radiant garden. I moved down until I finally found a kitchen like area and walked in. There were several Nobodies in there and their heads turned to me as I walked in. “Don’t mind me, just getting some cocoa,” I said as I started looking through the pantries. I don’t know why, but for some reason I felt like these Nobodies weren’t pleased to see me, and it wasn’t because they were all pointing their weapons and in attack formation. I turned around and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want some?” One Nobody leapt at me but I swiftly pulled out one of my guns and fired, blasting it in the head. “I’m sure there’s plenty,” I smiled as they charged me. I sighed; there really might have been enough cocoa for all of us but they were so insistent. But I really wanted my cocoa. My needs outweighed theirs so I started lazily firing at them. I hummed “Do You Hear the People Sing” as I battle, calling out my Keyblade and started slashing at them. I wasn’t even looking at the Nobodies. I was still scouring the pantries for some cocoa mix. “Ah, here it is,” I said as I killed another Nobody behind me while I reached in to grab it. I placed it on the counter and slammed my fist up next to head to stop a Nobody in its track. It fell to the ground and I started prepping my cocoa. More Nobodies charged and I pulled out my gun again and fired randomly as I put the hot water into the cup. “Let’s see, let’s see, does anyone have a spoon?” I asked as I severed the head of yet another Nobody as I blasted it in the neck. The head went flying and before it disappeared it hit the table and silverware started flying. A spoon fell into my hand and I smiled graciously. “Thank you,” I said as I started mixing everything in the cup. Finally, I finished and I put my gun down. “Okay, I’m done, who else wants some?” I asked as I turned around. A messy kitchen was left behind me and every Nobody in there had been destroyed. “They must have gotten impatient and went out,” I hummed as I took a sip. “Delicious.” I heard footstep[s running down the hall and Marluxia appeared in the kitchen and was shocked and appalled to see me. “Who are you?” he asked. “Sephirix,” I smiled. “And you’re the infamous Marluxia. Tell me, do you have a spare rose? It might prove useful in finally getting me a girlfriend.” “How did you get in here?” Marluxia asked. “We have the best security there is!” “Front door,” I shrugged as I took another sip. “If you value your life boy you’ll come with me right now.” “Can’t do that,” I smirked. “And why is that?” Marluxia asked, ready to fight. “Because you have no idea what trouble I’ve had to get a damn cup of cocoa, so I’m not going anywhere until I finish,” I said as I sipped the rest down. “Okay, now I’m done. So, where to boss?” Marluxia seemed to flinch as the boss statement but then he smiled and said, “That’s right. I’m the boss. I’m the one you listen to if you want to get out alive.” “Cool with me,” I smiled as I stood up. “Oh, you might want to think about teaching your Nobodies some patience. It wasn’t gonna take long for me to make cocoa yet they all got up and left.” Marluxia observed the battlefield and muttered, “Indeed. Come on. I think you should meet Larxene.” “Sounds hot,” I laughed as I skipped along after Marluxia. This was gonna be fun.

I hummed cheerfully as I sat in a café in Radiant Garden, waiting for my cocoa. I looked over at the window and once again admired my silver hair and my green catlike eyes; it was quite the look for me, so I had also changed my outfit to accompany it. I now wore a black, sleeveless shirt, black boots, and a long black coat with only a left sleeve and a black glove on my right hand. I twiddled with my bangs as I thought about this new form. I was no longer Rixec nor Sephiroth but a mixture of the two. Even while being made from him even I found it surprising that Sephiroth would do this for Rixec. Goes to show how well you actually know a murdering maniac. But now I was left nameless and neither Rixec nor Sephiroth felt right any longer. I started tapping my foot as customers started getting up and leaving, some having yet to receive their orders. A waiter came by and said, “Please wait a bit longer sir, your order is almost ready.” “One would think a cup of cocoa wouldn’t take twenty minutes,” I grinned, not a bit of malice in my voice. “We’ve been very busy today,” the waiter replied, a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead. I looked around the café that was empty save for me and the people working here and said, “I know one customer is an enormous amount of to serve for this place but you really should consider new management.” “You seem very happy sir,” the waiter laughed but he wasn’t amused or angry. Afraid was more like it. “It’s not every day I’m waiting to be surrounded,” I smiled and the waiter’s face paled up. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a large sum of money. “For any inconveniences,” I said and walked out the door. The moment I walked out I saw that a small army of men in black uniforms and helmets surrounded the café, each of them armed. They looked like a severe SWAT team. I looked past them to see some familiar faces to Rixec and Sephiroth: Cloud, Yuffie, and Leon. “Hey everyone!” I called out happily. “Is that really him?” Yuffie asked. “It must be,” Cloud said. “My God, what has he done?” Leon noted. “Sephiroth!” one of the uniformed cannon fodder called out. “Put your hands up or we will shoot!” “Okay, okay,” I laughed as I put my hands up high above my head, my right fist closed. “I surrender to your regime.” A few of the cannon fodder started moving toward me but Leon called out, “Wait! What’s in your hand Sephiroth?” “What hand?” I smiled. “He means your right hand that’s closed!” Yuffie yelled. “Ohhh, this hand,” I said in amazement as I wiggled my right fist. “Whatever it is, drop it,” Leon said. “If you insist,” I grinned as I started opening up my hand. I saw the realization come across Cloud’s face and he shouted, “No!” It was too late though. When I opened my fist I unleashed a magic that sent out a sonic vibration throughout the area. Everyone started clutching their ears from the pain and the cannon fodder started dropping, unconscious, of course. Only Cloud, Leon, and Yuffie were strong enough to resist until the spell ended, though they looked worse for wear. “Hey, he asked for it,” I said innocently. Cloud drew his sword and charged at me. He jumped into the air and started falling right toward me. I put my hands behind my back and waited a few moments, smiling. When he was a few feet above me I lazily took a step to the side and he pierced the ground with his sword. The impact was powerful but I was unfazed by it. So this was the power of Sephiroth. “I think you still have some leveling up to do,” I said as I backslapped Cloud across the face and sent him flying into the café. Yuffie pulled out her shuriken and sent it flying at me and Leon started firing with his gun-blade. I nudged my head to the left as the shuriken passed me and skipped a few steps back to avoid the bullets. “Well, that was fun!” I laughed. “But I want to play too!” I removed two double barreled guns I bought earlier and jumped high into the air. A swarm of black feathers appeared beneath me and I rode on them. Not having Sephiroth’s wing was disappointing but I was still able to manage. I started firing down on them and they tried to dodge but the power my bullets punched were able to send them flying through the air from the impact they made when they hit the ground. Yuffie was sent through a brick wall but Leon managed to recover and land on his feet. He fired a few times at me and then charged right at me. I summoned five beads of light from my fingers on my left hand and lazily shot them to destroy Leon’s bullets. I had discovered that after the fusion the darkness in the Bringer of Light’s light was gone. It was very interesting because, despite their being no Darkness, I could still do this. I snapped my fingers and three Heartless popped out of the ground and tackled Leon to the ground. He started slashing at them but by the time he was done I was already in front of him, the barrel placed right to his head. “Sorry,” I said and then I hit him hard across the head with the gun. “Squall!” I heard Yuffie shout and she sent two shuriken at me. I fired at them twice and changed their direction so they would fly around me. They got stuck in the wall which then exploded, leaving a fiery background behind me. “Thanks for the special effects,” I laughed. Before Yuffie knew I had appeared behind her and hit her in the neck with my hand. She fell to the ground, knocked out. “Two down and one to go.” “Sephiroth!” Cloud roared as he came out of the café, covered in glass and blood. “You really shouldn’t be calling me that,” I smiled. “I don’t want to get sued.” “Omnislash Version 5!” Cloud shouted. Several blades appeared in the air and suddenly I was lifted up in the middle of them. I sighed and put my guns back in their holsters and summoned my new Keyblade, One-Winged Angel. Cloud came at me with his first sword but I countered him with my Keyblade. “What the?” Cloud said as he grabbed his second sword. I countered that just as easily though and the sword after that and so on. Cloud was high above me now and was coming down for the last hit, roaring. I smirked and swung my Keyblade, a beam of light shooting out of it. Cloud shifted his blade to stop the attack but the force was too great and Cloud was enveloped by and explosion and started falling to the ground. I followed him but while I landed on my feet Cloud ended up on his back. I walked up to Cloud and placed the Keyblade to his neck. “You know, Sephiroth was looking for an item so he would finally be separated from you; he believed that was how he would finally kill you.” “Then just end me Sephiroth,” Cloud grunted, unable to move. “Sephiroth would like that,” I said, “but I’m not him.” I summoned Keyblade back into me and started walking away. “All the power of Sephiroth, the pure light of the Bringer of Light, and the ability to summon Heartless. Quite a power pack. And yet, it seems I got the mercy of Rixec, so while I shall defend my selves against your like Cloud I will not kill you. No, only the true evil shall feel my blade.” “S-Sephiroth,” Cloud mumbled as he tried to stand up. “Not Sephiroth. Not Rixec,” I said and then smiled. “Call me Sephirix.” I walked over to my motorcycle, which was extremely similar in design to Cloud’s Fenrir but with Gatling guns in the front. “Maybe I should go pay Xoncron a visit,” I grinned as I stated driving off. A swarm of black feathers surrounded me and I drove away from Radiant Garden. I never did get that cocoa.

I love and own Sumer Wars! It is a masterpiece and my mom says it's one of her favorite movies. The themes of the danger of putting important info on the net, of family, and the love story are rich!

I rolled forward as I avoided the disc flying right at me. It hit the Program behind me and derezzed him. I jumped to my feet and swung my Keyblades at the two discs coming at me from the sides. I was surrounded by three Programs with red lighting and maniacal looks on their faces. I was wearing armor like theirs but in a blue lighting, my Keyblades of a similar design. That’s how it worked on the Grid. I looked up to see Zuse laughing as he did a little jig. I had really hoped he had died when Clu blew up his club in Tron Legacy. Instead, he got out and made himself the new boss on the Grid. And he threw me into the Games; of course, I was here by choice – no, not really. Sephiroth needed me as a distraction and the Games served it. I was very vocal about it and thus Sephiroth’s mercies were now down to two. Two of the Programs charged at me and started fighting again. One went for my head and the other for my feet. Luckily I had two Keyblades to help hold them off. “Whoa!” I shouted as I bent my head back as the third Program threw his disc at me once more. “Hahahahahaha!” Zuse laughed as he stared on. I put all of my strength into my arms and pushed the programs away from me. I started running at the third Program and threw Lost Memory at him. His reaction time was slow and the Keyblade went right through him. As his two halves fell to the ground he was derezzing before my eyes. At the sound of gunfire I dove to the side. Zuse was using his cane to fire at the arena, not caring who got caught in the crossfire. I started running and took out my light cycle. I dove forward and started lapping the arena. Behind me, the other two programs were following me on their light cycles, their light paths following them. “Someone has gotta fix this place,” I mumbles as I summoned three Heartless. They all jumped on the Program closer to me and he swerved. He was driving toward the wall and the Heartless prevented him from seeing. By the time he tore one off his face it was too late. He drove straight into the wall and was derezzed. The last Program went into speed mode and drove right by me. He then activated his light beam which was heading straight for me. I moved to the right just as the beam passed me. “All right,” I said, “let’s see what you got.” I activated my light beam and we started racing around the arena. The Program turned right and I proceeded to do the same; I couldn’t afford to get boxed in. We turned left, left again, and then right. We were neck and neck and heading toward the wall Zuse was atop. “Dance little User, dance!” he shouted as he started firing again. He managed to hit my light cycle and I started to lose control. The Program sharply turned in front of me and I had to jump into the air as the light cycle was derezzed. I flew onto the Program’s light cycle and threw my arms around his neck. He started to throw his head back to hurt me but I made sure to hold strong to his neck. After a few moments he went limp and derezzed in front of me. I took hold of the light cycle and came to a stop. “Is that all you got Zuse?!” I shouted. “Oh no, the ride hasn’t even started yet,” Zuse grinned at me. “Then shall I bring an end to your fun?” A sword pierced Zuse’s chest and he gasped as he turned his head to see Sephiroth. It was amazing that Sephiroth hadn’t changed to match the world. Sephiroth pulled his sword out and Zuse fell off his platform and was derezzed before he could hit the ground. Programs were fleeing the Games now, terrified what Sephiroth might do to them. These guys really needed someone like Tron, Anon, or Beck to lead them. Otherwise the Grid just went to Hell. Sephiroth flew down and landed in front of me. “I trust you had fun.” “Bite me,” I said as I stretched. “And now you’re down to one,” Sephiroth said. “Whatever. Did you get what you came for?” I asked. “Indeed,” Sephiroth said as he held up an orb that shone with a white light. “Then we had better get out of here,” I suggested. “Yes, our deal is almost over, after all,” Sephiroth said as black feathers swarmed us and transported us to another world. We ended up at the Keyblade Graveyard, or the remains of it. All of the Keyblades planted here were gone and there were trenches as far as the eye could see. “I guess this explains the undead army,” I commented. “Indeed, it is a fascinating concept,” Sephiroth grinned. “Most would disagree,” I said. “K-killl meee….” Sephiroth and I turned to see a lone Keyblade Master here. He was very undead and I gulped at the sight of the Ultima Weapon Keyblade in his hand. “Such a pest,” Sephiroth mumbled and swung his sword. A last of energy was fired at the Keyblade Master and then there was dist filling the area from the impact. “They’re really not that tough.” “Maybe, but there’s usually a lot of them so they can overtake people,” I said. “Now I must finish my business,” Sephiroth said as he held the orb up. “Please wait a moment.” A blast of fire came out of the dust and hit Sephiroth in the back. He fell to his knees and the orb rolled away. I called out Oblivion and Lost Memory just as the Keyblade Master walked out. “Don’t underessstimate meeee,” he moaned. “Right,” I whispered. “You all right?” I expected a snarly comment but Sephiroth moaned, “No. That actually hurt.” “We are screwed,” I said as the Keyblade Master charged at us. He was faster than the others. Our blades crossed but the impact sent me flying back. Before Sephiroth could recover the Keyblade Master swung the Ultima Weapon at his and Sephiroth was thrown into the rocky walls. I stood up and saw the sky darkening. “Oh crud,” I said as lightning came rushing down. I started running but the sheer strength of the lightning made the very earth shook and I was thrown into the air. The Keyblade Master jumped up and slashed me across the chest. I cried out as I fell to the ground. I took hold of the Darkness and summoned an army of Heartless. They posed no threat to the Keyblade Master. With a flick of his wrist the Heartless were destroyed. I clutched my chest as I continue to bleed. Would I die? Or was I going to be turned? “You should have k-killed meee,” the Keyblade Master moaned as he came up to touch me. I looked into his dead eyes, unable to move. I knew it was over for me. The Keyblade Master gasped and I looked up to see a bleeding Sephiroth behind him, his sword at the side of his head. The Keyblade Master’s head rolled off and his body went limp. “Thanks,” I said as I clutched my chest harder. “You’re dying,” Sephiroth noted. “Yeah, that seems to be happening a lot lately,” I said. “Then I shall use my last mercy here,” Sephiroth said. Was he going to kill me to end the pain? Sephiroth held up the orb and placed it on my chest. “I wonder what the results will be.” “What?” I said as I felt the orb enter my body. Light erupted followed by a shadow and I cried out as everything went dark. I have woken. But who am I? I stood up and made a mirror substance appeared in front of me. I looked just like Rixec but I had Sephiroth’s hair and eye color. “My, how interesting,” I smiled.

I paced outside the palace while Sephiroth was finishing his business. Should I have left him alone with the Emperor in Mulan’s world? Probably not. But I needed some time to think. I couldn’t get the idea of me being able to summon Heartless out of my head. It shouldn’t have been possible but I was doing it. I would have to keep control of my emotions to make sure I didn’t summon any. God knows what would happen if they got loose. Unless I could control them… I smacked my cheeks with my hands and shook my head vigorously. “No! Don’t even think about it. You try to control Heartless and you’re just letting more Darkness in,” I told myself. That’s right, the Darkness that had already snuck its way into the Bringer of Light. Had it been when I asked Sephiroth to attack Lexa? Or had it already gotten in and made me do it? I just didn’t know anymore. “P-please… kill –u-ussssss,” a weak moan called out. My head shot to the side as I saw five warriors that looked like zombies. Two were more rotting than three others, which made me wonder if they were fresh ones. I looked at their hands and gawked at the Keyblades they were holding. Just what were these things? A palace guard came walking out and went bug-eyes when he saw the zombies. “Guards! We are under attack! Protect the Emperor!” “Wait!” I said as the guard started rushing at the zombies. He tried to thrust a spear into one of the fresh ones but it dodged and lazily grazed his face with its fingers. I watched in horror as the guard cried out and dropped his weapon. Some of his flesh began to rot, a loud moan coming from him. I saw a Keyblade appear in his hand and his body went rigid. A moment later he looked up with the same expression as the others. “H-help me d-d-die…,” he moaned. This was horrifying, it was desecrating. Who could have done this? The Organization? Vanitas? Xoncron’s or Lexa’s darker halves? That didn’t matter right now; I had to stop these things. Without letting them touch me that is. I summoned my Keyblades and charged at the zombies. One immediately tried to reach for my leg but I danced around it and slash it across the back. No blood flowed out though I did hear a moan of pain. One of the zombies thrust his Keyblade at me and I just barely got Oblivion up in time to block. However, the force knocked me off my feet and I hit the ground. The newest zombie tried to bring his Keyblade down on me but I rolled to the side and the sound of the blade hitting the ground echoed. Palace guards started to show up and charged at the zombies. I called out, “Don’t let them touch you or you’ll turn into one of them!” My efforts were futile though. The sheer number of guards did manage to land several hits on the zombies but they got too close and soon the zombies grabbed them and started to change the guards. In all the confusion the guards couldn’t get away and soon I was facing a small army of thirty-one. Not one of my better days. “Not good,” I mumbled as the zombies started to surround me. “Where the hell is Sephiroth when you need him?” The zombies were drawing closer now. I summoned a ball of light with the shadow swimming inside it. I threw it at one of the zombies and it dealt a major blow. I jumped back as a zombie tried to grab my arm. I was outnumbered and wouldn’t be able to defeat them all before they touched me. What was I suppose to do? I needed help. I felt and heard my heart beat loud across the palace loudly. I felt it wanting to come out but I couldn’t. It would mean… I fell to my knees and three zombies lunged for my feet. They were starting to swarm me closely now. I had no choice. “NO!” I roared. In a matter of moments the zombies were turning around and fighting the small army of Heartless I summoned. It didn’t seem like these things had hearts left but they sure as hell could be torn to pieces. The Heartless seemed unaffected by them. I got up and joined them in the fight. I slashed the heads off three zombies and pierced the chest of seven others. In just a few minutes we managed to wipe the zombies out. I looked toward the Heartless and only a few had perished in the battle. They all seemed eager for orders. “Rest,” I said as I struck my Keyblades into the ground. The Heartless went back to where they came from, leaving me in the horror around me. “So they were out here too.” I turned and saw Sephiroth coming out of the palace. “They were inside too; not that they were a match for me.” “Did they get the Emperor?” I asked. “No, thought some of his guards did change into them,” Sephiroth said. “It was very interesting.” “Yeah,” I said uneasily, “interesting.” I rubbed my hands tenderly as I thought about the Heartless I summoned. So soon after I had sworn not to either. What was more important to me? My life or my soul? “Did you get what you needed from the Emperor?” I asked. “I did,” Sephiroth smirked. “It is time for us to move onto a world known as “The Grid.” “Great,” I said and looked at the tattered zombies. “I wonder if they’re there too.” “Then they will wish for their despair,” Sephiroth said as black feathers started to swarm around us. “You didn’t kill anybody while you were in there did you?” I asked. “Maybe one or two guards,” Sephiroth grinned. “Perfect,” I groaned as we left this world behind.

(Sorry Lexa. I've been busy with schoolwork. At least I got a good idea out of your latest post though.) It was late and I was dead tired. I was walking along by myself in the dark as I thought back on everything that had happened since I got sucked into Kingdom Hearts. I had been targeted so many times and it seemed more than likely we were all gonna die a few times. One time I guess I actually did die. If this is what we were all going through now then where would we be a day from now? A month? A – dear Lord – year? I raised my hand up and summoned a ball of light. The shine eliminated the darkness around me and I felt its warmth course through my body. “Can’t sleep without a night light?” The light died and I snapped my head back to see Xoncron’s darker half. I could never remember what his name was – it never seemed important to me. “You picked a good time to die,” I growled as I summoned my Keyblades. “You got me all wrong Bringer of Light,” he sneered. “I simply came to talk.” “And I came to kiss my ass,” I said sarcastically. “Did you know your friend Lexa is kissing Vanitas about now?” he asked. “You’re not putting much into your lies tonight,” I countered. “You’re right about that one,” Xoncron’s dark half smiled, “because this isn’t a lie.” “That would never happen! One: he’s evil. Two: I’m pretty sure there’s something going on between her and Xoncron. Three: he’s evil.” “You said he’s evil twice,” he said. “You bet I did,” I shot at him. Xoncron’s dark half burst into laughter and wiped a tear from his eye. “Well, at least you’re still funny.” “How would you even know something like that?” I asked, rolling my eyes. “Dark half of your best friend, remember?” he shrugged. “So I know you about as well as he does. Or thinks he does.” “What does that mean?” I asked. “How truthful are you always with him? How many snarky comments, rude thoughts, have you kept hidden?” he asked. “None,” I said, taking step back. “And it’s not like you would know.” “For one thing, you think he stinks terribly; probably from his cologne,” Xoncron’s dark half said, “two, you think he’s way too silly in public…” “Shut up!” I exclaimed. “You’re just trying to mess with my head, saying random things! You know nothing about me!” “And three,” he smirked, and he whispered so quietly I barely heard him and froze up. “How…?” “Your heart was once trapped with mine,” he laughed. “I learned a few things about you while we were one.” “It doesn’t mean you can control me,” I growled. “Control you? Oh no no no no no,” he shook. “It’s always better for you to act of your own will.” “What do you mean?” I asked. I felt a bead of sweat drip down cheek and wanted to kill him more than anything. “People always start off good, but something happens that makes them fall to the Darkness. The more light a person has, the harder the fall and the more likely they won’t climb back up. And you, Bringer of Light, will probably never get back.” “I would never give my heart to Darkness,” I whispered. “Never say never,” he laughed and started to back away. “And remember what I said about Vanitas.” Xoncron’s evil half disappeared, leaving me all alone. I put my Keyblades away and fell to my knees. His words, I couldn’t get them out of my head. There was no way what he said was true; there was no way. I started walking back when I heard someone talking. “See you later.” I turned and saw Vanitas walking into a Dark Corridor and Lexa was watching him leave. My mouth dropped at the sight and I saw Lexa punch her arm and said, “Ow.” I didn’t sleep well that night. I couldn’t keep the image out of my head. I know the two have been in plenty of situations since they met, but a relationship? I hadn’t seen anything so I couldn’t say for sure. “Dammit!” I said as I stood up. “Troubling thoughts?” I turned and saw Sephiroth standing over me. Had he been there the whole night? “It’s complicated,” I said. I thought back to Lexa and Vanitas. How could I make sure? And whose side was Vanitas on? Didn’t seem like we could trust anybody these days. I had to learn more. But how? Vanitas was gone and Lexa probably wasn’t up to talking about it. I looked up at Sephiroth and a bad idea came across my mind. I could stay silent, but I had to know. “Sephiroth? Can I ask a favor?” I watched as Lexa and Sephiroth fought and I saw Vanitas show up. I had asked Sephiroth to fight at full force but not kill anyone. Though this favor came at a price. One I would have to pay. Once I saw Xoncron coming I ran out of hiding and joined him and we grabbed Lexa. "I'M. NOT. GOING. ANY. F&CKING. WHERE. WITHOUT. VANITAS!" Lexa roared. "What is with you? It's not like he's your boyfriend!" Xoncron said. Lexa’s face gave it away and I felt my mouth drop. "Oh, you're kidding? Oh, you've got to be-" I left the two alone and joined Vanitas in the fight against Sephiroth. Xoncron would take care of Lexa, but I had to take care of my mess! I crossed blades with Sephiroth and we looked at each other for a moment before he smiled and said, “Down to six.” Dark feathers surrounded Sephiroth and he disappeared. I looked down at the unconscious Vanitas and pondered what to do. I could kill him now, but he did come back for Lexa. What do I do? I was going to hate myself later, but I picked him up and carried him back and got him treatment. Vanitas and us would spend a long time talking and coming to a truce; I kept my actions hidden the entire time. They didn’t need to know. While Vanitas checked up on Lexa, I took a walk with Xoncron. “Unbelievable,” he said. “Exactly,” I told him. “Don’t turn your back on him. He may love Lexa, but he doesn’t love us.” “That’s a horrible thought,” Xoncron shivered. “Vanicron,” I smiled and Xoncron punched me in the arm. “Oh yeah? Well how about Rixnitas?” he joked. That actually got a laugh out of me and I felt like Xoncron deserved it. He never got many out of me, if any. “Xoncron, make sure you watch Lexa and Vanitas carefully.” “Of course,” he said. “We’ll keep an eye on them.” “No, you,” I said. “What do you mean?” he asked. “I’m taking some time off,” I told him. “What? But we’re finally together! All of us!” he exclaimed. “I know, but there’s something I need to do alone. Alone. You understand, right?” I asked. “No,” Xoncron sighed. “But I’m sure you wouldn’t do it unless it was important. But remember, you can always count on your friends.” “I know, thanks man,” I said. “What do I tell the others?” he asked. “The truth, a lie, whatever,” I said. “See ya.” “Later,” he answered. I walked out of sight and went toward the gates. It was painful to deceive and leave them but I had to. I had a deal to complete. “And never climb back up.” I turned and saw Xoncron’s dark half in front of me. “I should kill you now,” I said. “No need to sick it on me,” he laughed. “Sick what?” I asked but then I looked down and saw a Heartless forming at my feet. I jumped back and the Heartless disappeared. I looked at the spot for a few moments and looked up at Xoncron’s dark half. “Tried to kill me with a Heartless,” I growled. “Oh no,” he smirked. “That was yours.” “LIAR!” I shouted and three Heartless started to form around me. I gasped and they disappeared. I looked at my hand and summoned a ball of light. I gawked at the shadow swimming around in the light. “Like I said,” Xoncron’s dark half said as he started to disappear. “The brighter they are, the harder they fall. And never climb back up.” He was gone and I was alone. What was happening to me? I had gained my heart back, I had! But would it be at the cost of my soul? “Rixec.” I looked up and saw Sephiroth. “Are you ready?” he asked. “Yeah,” I mumbled and stood up. I walked up to Sephiroth and held his hand. A swarm of dark feathers surrounded us and in moments we were no longer in Radiant Garden.

I roared as I slashed through two Sorcerer Nobodies and watched them evaporate. After I had freed Sephiroth it seemed like every Nobody in the castle was coming after us! Thankfully, Sephiroth’s crazy strength was making it easier; though there were still so many. I heard the clanging of metal and I heard Sephiroth ask cooly, “Who are you?” Panic flowed through me; if Sephiroth didn’t know who it was then we were in unknown waters here. I clutched Lost Memory and Oblivion and charged around the corner to see who it was. “Xoncron?” “Rixec?!” he exclaimed. “You know him?” Sephiroth asked. “Rixec!” Xoncron whispered. “What is Sephiroth doing here?” “Yeah, he’s my friend,” I told Sephiroth, ignoring Xoncron. “So don’t try to kill him.” Sephiroth looked from me to Xoncron and gave a wicked smile. He sheathed his blade and said, “Very well. I shall not kill him. Today, anyways.” “Thanks,” I said. Just bought Xoncron a day, now to make sure we can get out of here alive. “Rixec!” Xoncron bellowed. “Yeah?” “What is Sephiroth doing here?” he asked. “Oh yeah, I kinda freed him,” I explained. “What?” “The Organization had him locked up and I set him free and blah blah blah, here we are,” I told him. Xoncron pulled me aside and whispered, “Are you out of your mind?” “I was wondering that too as he tried choking the life out of me but I totally outsmarted him by using his own words against him.” “Huh?” Xoncron gaped. “Well he asked if I had a present for him and should he return it ten times over,” I went on. “I gave him mercy and now he owes me a total of ten mercies.” “And now you’re down to seven,” Sephiroth called out from across the room. “Wow that’s good hearing,” Xoncron said. “What for?” I asked. “For the outsmarting me comment,” Sephiroth retorted. “Sorry,” I said. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Xoncron asked me. “Sephiroth is not the merciful type.” “I’m taking this one day at a time Xoncron,” I sighed. “Today the focus is rescuing Lexa. Tomorrow, we’ll hope Sephiroth hasn’t destroyed the universe by then.” “Well, if he does, I could take h-,” Xoncron was saying before I hit him in the shoulder. I looked over at Sephiroth and pulled Xoncron further away. “Dude, I probably saved your life a few minutes ago; don’t go throwing it away now. Don’t forget, he’s a secret $%^&*$# boss.” “You should try fighting him in Crisis Core,” Xoncron said. “Whatever. Just try not to tick off the most famous and popular villain in FF,” I sighed. “We have company,” Sephiroth said as three dozen Sniper Nobodies appeared around us. Braig appeared a moment later and laughed at the sight of us. I clenched my fist tightly as I thought back to when he shot me. “Looks like the poppets are lost,” he laughed. “Laugh now,” Sephiroth smirked, “but your remaining eye is mine.” “I got a score with him Sephiroth,” I said as I held up my Keyblades. Sephiroth shrugged and immediately killed four Nobodies. “Where’s Lexa?!” Xoncron Shouted as he started fighting the Snipers. “She’s with us now,” Braig laughed. “LIAR!” Xoncron roared. I pushed my way through the Nobodies and came face to face with Braig. Light was emitting from my Keyblades as I stared at him. “I see you got the angry look down,” Braig said. “I’m taking you down Braig,” I told him. “Unlikely,” he sneered as he fired a shot at me.

I gaped at the sight of a tall man with silver hair and green cat-like eyes. His black clothes were torn at various places and there was both dried and fresh blood covering him. He was suspended in the air by several large chains connected to the walls; what was most odd was that the chains were shining with golden light. Then again, they would have to be special to hold this guy down. “Sephiroth?” I mumbled. One of the greatest villains in the Final Fantasy series and one of the toughest secret bosses in Kingdom Hearts; just what was he doing here? Sephiroth’s eyes blinked as they wandered over in my direction. He smirked at the sight of me and cooly said, “I see you have come with another present for me. Shall I return it ten times over?” I felt a cold wind pass through me and I took a step back. There was no way I could mangle with Sephiroth; he was too powerful. But how did the Organization lock him down here? I took a few steps forward and placed my hand on one of the chains. Sephiroth laughed and said, “Just what tortures do you have in mind for today?” He thought I was a member of the Organization come to torture him! I looked up at Sephiroth and was crept out by his eyes. I should leaves now, but I wouldn’t be able to get out of this castle with everyone in one piece unless I had a powerful weapon. The only problem was it was a double-edged sword. I blinked for a moment as I thought about what Sephiroth said. He was being evil at the time but maybe he’ll have enough honor to fulfill it. At the back of my mind I could hear my voice of reason telling me it was a bad idea. I gripped the chains tightly and felt the light within them; that was how they were keeping Sephiroth down. I body began to glow with a silver aura and I cried out as the chains turned black and crumpled to dust. Sephiroth landed on his feet and rubbed his wrists for a few moments. Before I could say anything he flew right at me and pinned me to a wall as he started choking me with one hand. “Thank you for choosing to die,” Sephiroth smirked. “W-wait,” I gasped. “You said you would return my present ten times over. I gave you mercy!” I saw Sephiroth raise an eyebrow as his fingers tightened. I could no longer speak and my vision was starting to go dark. A moment later I could breathe and I fell to my knees. I gasped loudly several times as I clutched my chest. “So why did you release me?” Sephiroth asked. “Or is it a trick by the Organization?” “No trick,” I said as I pulled back by hood. “Not Organization. I’m a Keyblade Master. Name’s Rixec.” Sephiroth eyed me with curiosity for a few moments and said, “So why did you release me Keyblade Master Rixec?” “Because I’m gonna need help in rescuing my friends,” I said as I stood up. “And you are one of the most powerful beings in the universe. “That’s two,” Sephiroth said. “Excuse me?” I said I would return your gift ten times over; that’s the second time I’ve shown you mercy,” Sephiroth said. “For what?” I asked. “For not ending your life for your incorrect phrasing. I am the most powerful being in the universe.” “Fair point,” I said. I had better be careful here; those remaining eight mercies might come in handy. “Will you help me save my friends?” I asked. “Why should I do that?” Sephiroth said. I thought about it for a moment and said, “You get to beat up bad guys physically and mentally that way.” Sephiroth chuckled and said, “You are an amusing boy. Perhaps I’ll even let you live even after your mercies are done and I’ve completed my plans. Perhaps.” Oh yeah, villain, I thought. Chances are he had his own evil schemes dangling around. One villain at a time though. I’ll deal with Sephiroth when the time comes. I should hold on to at least one mercy then. “All right,” I said, “let’s head out.”

I closed my eyes as I exited the portal of light; after being in that brightness for so long it was taking me a bit to adjust back to normal. When I opened my eyes I blinked in surprise, wondering if I still needed to adjust. A moment later I realized I was only in a pure white room. Even the furniture and curtains were pure white. It was kind of freaky. “Wait a minute,” I said as I observed my surroundings more carefully. I was still out of it a bit due to my being separated for so long but I finally recognized this place. “Castle Oblivion. Oh this is not good.” The portal was suppose to send me to my friends and if they were here then something had happened while I was away. “We never got into this much trouble when playing the games,” I mumbled. I walked over to the door and cracked it open and peered out into the hall. I saw a figure in an Organization coat walking by. Maybe I could make use of him if I played my cards right. I waited as he passed by the door and then I hopped out and said, “Hello there!” The black coat turned and ran after me as I jumped back into the room. The door closed behind him and locked up. Thankfully the hall was deserted for the next few minutes because anyone walking by would have heard the sounds of banging, rumbling, and a Goofy-like kind of scream. I stepped out into the hall dressed in the black coat. I made sure the hood was pulled over my head so no one would get a good look at me. I started walking down the hall and would look in every door when I was alone. Xoncron, Lexa, and the others must be here somewhere; I just hoped they were still all right. I passed by a couple of Unversed slowly; I couldn’t afford to attack them. A fight might draw unexpected visitors here and if they went back to Vanitas he might figure out I’m here. I have to stay incognito for the time being. I froze up as I saw Braig come out of another room, laughing. He noticed me and grinned. “Hey, are you here to torture the guy too?” Guy? “Of course. No one having him if we couldn’t do anything,” I smirked. I had to get Braig away from me before he saw through my disguise. “I just got through with him but he should be up for another round,” Braig laughed. “Well, I’m gonna go check up on the princess. Take your time with him.” Princess? Did he mean a Disney Princess, or a Princess of Heart? Or was it someone else. Like Lexa. I had to find out. “How’s she holding up?” “Little fighter she is but Vanitas will get through to her in her training,” Braig said as he disappeared from sight. Lexa? Vanitas? Training? Oh this was not good, I thought, as I remembered some incidents from my Nobody. Had to get her out before Vanitas unleashed something we weren’t prepared for. But not alone. I opened the door in front of me and started going down a long staircase, leading to their tortured prisoner at the bottom. “You?!” I exclaimed in shock.

Banned because the printer acted up on me.

Banned because I couldn't come up with a good reason.

I am paranoid about bicycles. With good reason!

I looked around as I rubbed my wrists. “How long have I been out?” “Since you started your journey,” Master Yen Sid said. “Your heart and Nobody were separated from your body and you have been kept in this pod for your safety until they could all come back together.” I summoned my Keyblades and was relieved to see they were still in perfect condition. “What is it that the Organization and Xoncron’s double are planning?” I asked. “They seem to be in total opposition.” “Their goals make it hard to understand; there are surely plans within plans,” Master Yen Sid explained. “You will need more power bringer of light to fight against them.” “How do I do that?” I asked. “The Darkness is spreading far and wide, the Light dimming out,” Master Yen Sid said gravely. “To unlock your Master of Light form you must travel across the worlds and push the Darkness back. Otherwise, all may be lost.” “Well, that’s a downer,” I shrugged. “And there is more,” Master Yen Sid said. “The forces of Darkness are looking for a special doorway.” “What doorway?” I asked. “I do not know,” he sighed. “But it will take you and Xoncron to seal it. I fear what the consequences might be whether you fail or succeed though.” “We won’t know until we tried,” I said. “As long as there’s a chance we can’t give up.” “Then you should hurry back to your friends,” he said. “Will they even want to see me?” I asked, concerned. “I kind kept quiet about being a Nobody; they may not be too happy with that.” “They are your friends; they will treat you as such.” I looked up at Master Yen Sid and grinned. “Thanks. By the way, what do you kwon about Fragments?” Master Yen Sid bowed his head and said, “Nothing. They are a great mystery and nearly incomprehensible. You may be able to discover what the mystery is though.” “All right,” I said. “I will send you back to your friends,” Master Yen Sid said as he opened up a portal of light. “This is a doorway that will work for you alone because you are the bringer of light. In time you too will learn how to use them.” “Thank you Master,” I said before walking into the light.

My lungs burned as we ran through the castle as it fell down on itself. I looked over at Vanitas and wondered how long this truce would last; evil had a tendency to double-cross the good guys. A Heartless leapt at Xoncron but a large chuck of the roof fell on it and it burst into shadows. I hoped the same thing wouldn’t happen to us. “Ahh!” I yelled as I fell to my knees, clutching my chest. “Rixec!” Lexa called back. “Run!” Vanitas yelled as he grabbed her hand and started pulling her along. “Vanitas – let go!” Lexa yelled. “Something’s wrong with Rixec!” “I got him!” Xoncron shouted as he started running toward me. Before he could reach me though, a wall of black fire sprouted between us. Xoncron’s double appeared and tsk tsk us. “You two aren’t going anywhere.” “That’s what you think!” Xoncron told him as he called out Way to the Dawn. I shakily stood up and pointed Lost Memory and Oblivion at him. “Agreed,” I breathed. I could barely stand up at the moment. Braig’s poison was doing its work well. Xoncron’s double smirked as the fire wall turned into a circle and surrounded him and I. “Rixec!” Xoncron yelled as he tried to get in. But the fire pushed him back and he couldn’t get in. “Let me in you coward!” “You’ll have your turn in a minute,” his double grinned. “But the light bringer dies first.” Xoncron’s double smirked at me and said, “You actually managed to escape this Fragment of a world, yet you came back to die with it.” “No,” I said, “I came back to stop you.” “Unlikely,” he said as he swung his blade at me. I parried it with my Keyblades and jumped back, coughing terribly as I did. “Rixec!” Xoncron shouted. “What’s wrong?” “That’s right you still don’t know,” his double laughed. “Shall I tell you?” “NO!” I roared as I lunged at him. He blocked Lost Memory but Oblivion managed to strike him in the calf. He yelled out in pain as I continued the assault. The double jumped over me and slashed my back. I fell to the ground and rolled to the side before he could pierce me. I quickly jumped to me feet and swung at him. I managed to slam my Keyblades across his face and he hit the ground hard. “It’s no use,” he laughed as blood dripped from his chin. “You can’t stop me.” “I don’t have to stop you,” I grunted as I jumped on top of him. I stabbed him in the chest with Lost Memory and light started to erupt from it. “I just have to get what’s mine back!” “No!” he yelled as darkness emerged from him. Light and Darkness were locked in mortal combat, the castle still falling down around us. The Darkness was starting to push me back but I couldn’t give in. If I failed here I was done for. “Rixec,” Xoncron yelled, “what’s wrong with your face?!” I looked into his double’s eyes to see my reflection; my eyes had turned purple and creases of the same color were spread over half of my face. The poison was about to finish me. “You’re finished light bringer,” Xoncron’s double laughed. “The poison’s just about killed you.” “Poison?” Xoncron gaped. “I’m sorry Xoncron,” I whispered. “You’re finished,” his double laughed. “No – I’m – not!” I yelled as my Keyblade went all the way through him. Xoncron’s double yelled out in agony as a heart was released from him. I fell backwards as the heart flew away. Xoncron’s double shakily stood up as he glared at me in anger. “No! You couldn’t have…” “But I did,” I laughed as I saw me body start to fade away. “Rixec!” Xoncron shouted as the flames dispersed. “Don’t worry,” I said as I disappeared. My eyes fluttered open to see the doors of a pod opening up. I was in a familiar setting and I sat up as I looked around. “Welcome back Keyblade Master Rixec,” Yen Sid smiled. I looked at myself and started laughing and crying. I was whole again.

Diamond & Black 2 are the only ones with at least one legendary. They are Manaphy, Genesect, and Keldeo. All the others have normal Pokemon.

Genesect...nice. It's on my team in Black 2, fairly useful if I say so myself. The only problem is the whole fire thing...

Because his favorite film is XXX. Why does Sora keep starting over in his training each game?

Xoncron had removed the bullet and healed the wound but I was still feeling tremendous pain. Something was spreading throughout my body, like a virus or parasite. There had been something in that bullet, something that curaga couldn’t get. I couldn’t let the others know yet; not when Xoncron’s double was attacking. All of us were fighting him but he was proving himself to be a formidable foe. His double knocked Lexa aside and then threw Xoncron up against the wall. He rushed at me and our blades clanged together. “He he,” he laughed. “This is where you’ll meet your end bringer of light.” “Maybe so,” I groaned, “but I’m taking back what’s mine!” I pushed him back and before he could retaliate against me Xoncron slashed at his back and knocked him to the ground. Lexa launched multiple fireballs at him but he rolled away, only getting singed by two or three of them. “Is that the best you all have?” he laughed. He launched a dark fireball at me and I slashed it to cinders with my Keyblades. I fell to my knees as I cried out. “Rixec!” Lexa cried. “I’m fine,” I said as I stood up. “Just still feeling the shock of getting shot.” “All right,” Xoncron said as he and his double crossed blades. “I won’t let you harm my friends!” “Then can I do it?” We all turned to see an angry Braig firing at Lexa and me. We both rolled away as the hail of bullets came down. Lexa fired a blast of lighting and Braig was blown back. While she joined Xoncron against his double I went to confront Braig. I pressed the tip of Oblivion to his throat as I asked, “What did you shoot me with?” He smirked as a trickle of blood ran down his throat. “It’s a special poison for Nobodies,” he said. “No healing magic can heal it. So this will be it for you. And with your Somebody’s heart in him that’ll be that.” “I don’t think so,” I growled, wincing from the pain. “Then you might want to look around,” Braig laughed. I turned to see hundreds of Heartless flooding the Great Hall. They were already starting to gather around Snow! We were in serious sh!t.

“Holy crap,” I said as I looked at the shrouded man. “I should have probably mentioned this sooner,” Xoncron said. “I’ll say,” I said as I looked over the shrouded man’s face. “He’s better looking than you.” “What?” Xoncron gaped. “He looks like you all right but better,” I told him. “Are you crazy!” Xoncron yelled. “We are exactly alike physically. And he is not better looking than me.” “Sorry dude, it’s probably the evil. Evil knows how to look better,” I shrugged. “Thank you,” the shrouded man said. “Don’t agree with him!” Xoncron shouted at his double. “I’m your dark half, it’s what I do,” he laughed. “Enough, let’s finish this.” The shrouded man shot a ball of black fire at Xoncron and blew him right over to me. He quickly casted Curaga and glared at his double. “We do not have time for this,” I said. “Well he’s not giving us a chance to get by,” Xoncron mumbled. “Then we need to come up with something,” I said. “Are you two sissies gonna keep whispering or fight?” the shrouded man asked. “Are you actually gonna give us a choice?” I asked. “No.” “Damn. You are evil,” I said. “Take this!” he shouted as a beam of dark energy came at us. Xoncron and I raised our Keyblades and held off the attack. But we were stuck in place as he kept up the attack. “I’m going to kill you two, especially you bringer of light!” the shrouded man shouted gleefully. “What’s it gonna take evil Xoncron?!” I asked. “You tried to kill me when coming into this universe and it didn’t work!” “I’m going to destroy you!” he shouted. “We’ve beaten and or escaped you four of five times already,” I told him, “and I once escaped death itself!” “Lalala can’t hear you,” he laughed, “too busy about to destroy you!” “You’re insane!” I shouted back. “Would you two stop quoting Harry Potter: How It Should Have Ended?” Xoncron yelled as he continued to fend off the darkness. “Never!” I said. “I’ll probably never get another opportunity like this again!” “And you won’t!” Xoncron’s double shouted as the darkness started to increase. “Now let the Darkness take yo-” BANG! The dark attack stopped and the shrouded man fell to the ground. We looked to the side to see a man with a strange weapon that wasn’t a Keyblade but seemed to emulate it. “Snow?!” Xoncron shouted. “Yes!” he yelled as he looked down at the shrouded man. “I have been waiting to do that!” “You’ve been waiting to shoot me?” Xoncron glared. “Or a similar opportunity,” he laughed. “I gonna kick your-”Xoncron started to say as dark energy came over his double’s wound and healed itself. His double stood up and mumbled, “Well that was unpleasant.” “Saw that coming,” I said. “New guy – Snow! – you hold him off while Xoncron and I take care of business.” “What?” he said as Xoncron and I ran into the Great Hall. As we burst in we saw Lexa holding Vanitas by the throat. “Is this a good thing or bad thing?” I asked. “Look at that darkness coming from her,” Xoncron breathed. “Then we’ll need to hurry,” I said. I lifted up Lost Memory and shouted, “Salvation!” Light emerged from the blade and separated Lexa from Vanitas. She hit the ground hard and started writing in pain as darkness flowed out. “What’s happening?” Xoncron asked. “It looks like she’s still fighting inside,” I said. “But she needs help!” We both ran to her and Xoncron placed her head in his lap while I placed my hands on her shoulders. I started emitting light and it flowed in Lexa. If I couldn’t get this to work then nothing would. Lexa started to calm down, but there were still signs of struggle on her face. “Lexa and I are holding her darkness at bat,” I said. “Xoncron, time to help her.” “How?” “I don’t know; that’s your job!” I shouted. I really should have gotten more explicit instructions. Xoncron looked at her and whispered, “You have done well.” Xoncron pressed his lips to hers and the light emitting from me grew brighter. I had to close my eyes while this went down. When it finally dimmed I saw Xoncron pulling away from Lexa. We both looked at her sleeping figure, greatly concerned. Then her eyes opened. “Rixec? Xoncron? Xoncron!” she yelled as she threw her arms around him. “Lexa!” he laughed with glee. I smiled too, glad that she was safe. Now we had to go help Snow and face Xoncron’s double. BANG! “Ugh!” I gagged as I looked down at my chest to see a purple bullet shard lodged in my chest. Xoncron and Lexa were horrified by this and I turned around to see Braig up above. “So ends the light,” he laughed.
