Lexa Infinite

I don't hate you, I'm just heartbroken. T_T I'm already lonely and it's the first hour I'm on.

</3

I realize amongst my video editing, I am still VERY MUCH an Axel fangirl.

Wow, I've managed to acquire 5 more video projects in the last week. ._.

NO! Don't leave Snow! I don't have a Facebook, so I won't be able to talk to you again! Please don't leave. T_T

Happy Birthday, Xoncron!

All the same, when you want to make a Halloween-esque vid, it really looks creepy-epic.

??? I grinned as Xoncron reappeared. It would seem that my power was not needed. So much for Xero's mathematics. I settled down on the ground. I was still radiating light and darkness when I was in front of him. "Well done." We said. "I take it you are Lexa and Xero?" He asked. We laughed in good spirits. "Nay." We said. "Xero has gone off to help clear the remains of Dark-Xoncron's plans. No, I'm Lexa and Vanitas." "Vanitas?!" He said, surprised. "Yep, that copy made the horrid mistake of resurrecting Vanitas, forgetting the fact that the two could bond together to form this." I pulled up the X-Blade. "Is that-?!" We nodded. "Whoa." He said. "We were actually planning on throwing this to you if the battle got too..difficult. We knew it would have to be you to finally defeat the your dark. As we have said, well done. Well done, indeed. "We said. "Now, to take care of somethings...." I walked out to the center of the desert and raised the X-Blade. "Rest fitfully, warriors of the Keyblade War. You're time is done. Rest." A light spread across the land. The darkness that had so haunted this land shrinked away. "What was that?" Xoncron said. "To make sure no one uses those that have fallen here are ever used for dark purposes again." We said. "Now, to the last...." I walked back to the remains of the machine. I pointed the X-Blade at its center. "This device has caused the world much pain. So that none shall use this invention of the dark..." The wreckage disappeared from sight. "Any plans or blueprints he may have made for this device have disappear as well." I said. "It is done." "Lexa, you have to let go now." Lexa I opened my eyes. "What?" I said and looked at Vanitas. "It's time to let go." He said with a sad smile. "But, then-" Vanitas put a finger on my mouth. "I'll find a way back. I promise." He moved his hand down to my Wayfinder. "I'm glad this looks so well on you." He said. "You did good." I said. In almost synchronized movement, we embraced each other, holding on like it would be the last time. For all we knew, it would be. "I love you." I said. "I love you much more." Vanitas said. He pushed me back. "Now, no more tears over me. If there's anyway back, I'll find it." He said and grinned, cheering me up a bit. "You take care of yourself. Oh, and help Xoncron, will you? I would, but I won't be around, 'kay?" Vanitas said. I nodded. "Good. Did you get the other stuff in that envelope?" I blushed. "Um...not yet." I said. Vanitas shook his head and sighed. "At least you have that. I'm going to use that as my star, okay? Keep it on and I'll find you." He said. "I got that." I said. Vanitas laughed. "Okay. I guess this is...Goodbye." I said. "No way. I'm horrible at goodbyes. More like, see you soon." Vanitas said. "Okay, then, nit-picky!" I laughed. Vanitas's eyes lit up. "You just keep that attitude, okay?" I nodded. "And you,yours." I said. We shared one last, long look. I let go. I started feel like I was falling. I shot up. I looked around and saw Xoncron above me. "You know, we REALLY have to stop meeting like this." I said. He laughed and helped me up. "So, what happened to Vanitas?" He asked. "I don't know." I answered honestly. "He promised he would find a way back though." "Seems to be the type that would." Xoncron said. "Yeah. "I agreed. "I'm sorry you had to take him out alone." Xoncron waved it off. "It's okay. You all just being here really helped the most." "Speaking of all of us, where's the rest of our party?" I said. Suddenly, a dark corridor opened. Out walked Xero, Sephirix and Rixec. The three of them were literally smoking and steaming. "These IDIOTS had the BRILLIANT idea of pushing that OTHER idiot into the sun. Geniuses, aren't they?" Xero said, highly annoyed. I laughed. "Imma let you boys talk amongst yourselves; I need a word with Lexa here." She pulled me over to the side. "So...how'd it go?" She asked. "Turns out we didn't need it." I said. "Ahh." She sighed. "There was the one variable I couldn't get." "The strength of the heart?" I asked. "Right, once again." She said. "Well, that takes care of that. Now, we get a month off!" She grinned. "What?!" I said. "Oh, I didn't say, did I? Well, since a good percent of the World that Never Was is a smoldering ruin, and all of us are exhausted after this free-for-all, we agreed that a 30-day cease-and-desist between all parties involved, including yours." She said. "So, no fighting?" I said. "Nope. I do have one bit of advice to ask you, though..." She said. "What?" I said. "Look, you would not BELIEVE the expenses that go into keeping up a castle...and since Xehanort struck up a deal with me and not him, he's letting me keep C.O.....I need advice on how to make money. But not something boring!" She said. I thought for a moment. "....You know, I have an idea. How about you turn the first two or three floors of C.O. into a nightclub. I think you'll like that." Xero's eyes got big. "Xero?" I said. "OMG, LEXA, I AM SOOOOOOO SORRY FOR EVER CALLING YOU AN IDIOT!" She squealed. "OMG, This is like, going to be so, like, EPIC!" She jumped up and down. I smiled. "Glad you're happy." I said. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to call it a day." Xero said and stretched her arms up. I nodded. The end of one journey....and the beginning to the next...... Bravo, bravo, Xoncron. What a way to end your part of this story arc. Well done, indeed.

For those who have video editing software, put a black and white and invert effect on the KHII into. LOOKS AWESOME!

Randomness. That is all.

??? It was so...amazing the amount of knowledge and power that pounded, pounded, pounded in our joined hearts. We felt so complete. We felt the world at our fingertips, the knowledge of things that were, and now, and that could have been were flowing in my head. The music of the universe moved and pounded and flowed along with the beating of the hearts. Was this inspiration that most musicians came across when they wrote songs? I opened my eyes to see the world. I grinned as I saw my friends stop fighting and gaze at us. An aura of light and darkness swirled around us as we brought up our hands and summoned the X-Blade. We floated a good two feet off the ground, up held by the power of the pounding. I am neither Lexa nor Vanitas. I am the bond that lies between the two. The willing commitment to make the X-Blade. The knowing cooperation and equality of Light and Darkness. I am......" I said, bringing the blade down, raising fire across its path. "Undefined." I grinned wider as the bass pounded underneath my feet. "Playtime's over. The real show begins now." We said, ready to unleash unholy hell.

Today is the day....

Lexa We charged forward, yelling at the top of our lungs. I started to head toward the machine when something powerful caught me by the side and threw me back to the ground, knocking the wind out of me. I tried to see through the dust cloud it had made to see who had me pinned down, regaining air. The dust cleared and I stared up in horror. "Vanitas..." He would have looked normal if not for the gaping, charred.... He pointed a rusted version of Void Gear at my neck. He looked like he was concentrating hard. "Your mind is still your own, isn't it?" Vanitas's eyes hardened, furthering my horror. "I'm sorry." I said, voice cracking. "LEXA!" I heard Xero yell. "STAY BACK!" I called back. "HELL, NO!" Xero warped down to me and threw Vanitas off. "Look, the only way to free him is to..."Xero trailed off. "I'm sorry, Lexa." Xero said and helped me up. "If nothing can be done...." I felt something in my throat. "Then, I'll set you free, Vanitas." He nodded slightly. I pushed Xero out of the way as Vanitas set up a barrier. "LEXA?!" She said, confused. "Stay with Rixec, he's going to have the hardest time!" I said. We fought, neither of us willing to take the advantage over the other. We met, our faces kept apart by our Keyblades, and yet so close... A sudden surge of sound knocked me onto my knees. I covered my ears and yelled, trying to drown it out. He wears his heartsafety pinned to his backpackHis backpack is all that he knows WHERE WAS IT COMING FROM?! The only person who I knew could do this was locked in battle with the copy of Dark-Xoncron along with Rixec and Sephirix. But then- No. This wasn't a normal attack. This was an attack on my mind, much like the one at the fake Hollow Bastion; all the while HE was fighting them-HOW- Shot down by strangerswhose glances can cripplethe heart and devour the soulAll alone he turns to stonewhile holding his breath half to deathTerrified of whats insideto save his life he crawlslike a worm from a birdCrawls like a worm from a bird I felt Vanitas grab me by the neck as I continued to hold my head in my hands, attempting to regain sanity. Out of his mind awaypushes him whisperingmust have been out of his mindmid-day delusions of pushing this out of his headmaybe out of his mindAll alone he turns to stonewhile holding his breath half to deathTerrified of whats insideto save his life hecrawls like a worm from a birdcrawls like a worm from a bird I started loose myself as the beat continued. I returned back to reality. Vanitas tightened his grip, reluctantly. I started to see stars and darkness. I struggled against him, trying to break free. Suddenly, he let go. "NO!" He yelled and grabbed his head. The mental attack all but vanished. "I-AM-NOT-" Vanitas hit the ground, brought down by some force unknown. "YOUR-SLAVE!" "XERO!" I yelled as the barrier collapsed. She turned back for a moment. "BUSY, WHAT?!" She yelled back, holding off the copy. "YOU'RE GOOD WITH MINDS, HELP!" Xero landed in a good kick and jumped away from the copy. She ran over and placed both of her hands on Vanitas's temples as he continued to struggle against the forces that bound him. "Lexa, place your hand over mine." She commanded. I did as she said and the desert disappeared. "Where-" "Vanitas's mind or heart, I don't know which. We need to hurry." She said and lead me forward, grabbing my hand. I couldn't see through the intense darkness that lay here, but apparently she could. I saw Vanitas's Station of Awakening. There he stood, black chains on his wrists, fighting Dark-Xoncron's copy. I jumped down next to him. "Lexa?!" He said. "Hey!" Xero said to me. "I know we talked about that plan earlier concerning me and you, but I've changed my mind." "Huh?!" I quickly did a Reflect spell as the copy charged forward. "I think you two should do it. I won't be able to handle it. Vanitas already has some experience on the subject." Xero said. "O-ooh." I said "What is she talking about?" Vanitas said. "Vanitas....we need to form the X-Blade." I said. "...you are sure?" Vanitas said, cautious. "Positive." I said. "Alright." Vanitas said. He offered out his hand. I quickly took into mine and a bright light erupted between the two of us. Xero I got out of Vanitas's mind as fast I could and rolled out of the way. A pillar of light erupted from the the spot where Lexa and Vanitas were. I grinned. "This is gonna get good...." I saw the light fade. Standing where it was-Lexa. And yet... I'm going out on limb here and saying that looks are based upon the host body. Lexa brought Vanitas's into her body and thus she looked like herself...until she opened her eyes. They were golden, burning in power. An aura of light and darkness swirled around her as she brought up her hands and summoned the X-Blade. She floated a good two feet off the ground, up held by the power of Kingdom Hearts. All the fighting had stopped to see this spectacle. "I am neither Lexa nor Vanitas. I am the bond that lies between the two. The willing commitment to make the X-Blade. The knowing cooperation and equality of Light and Darkness. I am......" She said, bringing the blade down, raising fire across its path. "Undefined."

I realize half of my statuses are about me being bored....

Lonely....again....

Don't be sad! I gives you hugs: >(^_^)>

Double-posting, yeah, I know. Normally, I wouldn't, but....my imagination is being really pushy. Lexa Xoncron took Xero out of the room, no doubt to "discuss". Me? I didn't care either way. Nothing could give me reprieve, an escape from this inner hell I was trapped in. I put my earbuds in. "I can't escape this hell So many times i've tried But i'm still caged inside" I changed it immediately. I reminded me too much of.... "The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." I stared at the roof of the house. I closed my eyes and I saw his face. Everytime I did, he was there. I took out my ear-buds and listened to raised voices. "HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE OVER LEXA WHILE YOU TWO ARE JOINED?!" Sephirix "OH, SO NOW YOU SEEM TO CARE FOR HER SOOOO MUCH, DON'T YOU?!" Xero "WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" "I'M NOT THE ONE THAT FRENCHED HER THE MOMENT HER BOYFRIEND WALKED OUT?!" "AND I'M NOT ONE THAT HAS REPEATEDLY ATTACKED-" Sephirix "OH, YEAH, CAN'T SAY SH!T ABOUT THAT, CAN YOU? THE BRUISES ON HER NECK ARE PLAINLY OBVIOUS!" "XERO, I'M GOING TO THROW YOU OUT?!" "TRY ME!" "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!?" Xoncron "NO!" Sephirix and Xero... "YOU TWO ARE ONLY GOING TO MAKE THIS WORSE!" Rixec "SHUT IT, RIXEC, XON! I'VE RUN THROUGH THIS! THE ONLY WAY WE GET THROUGH THIS, WITHOUT CASUALTY, IS TO FORM THE X-BLADE!" "XERO, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE X-BLADE PART! IF VANITAS HAD-" Xoncron "LIKE HELL YOU WOULD HAVE!" "..." "OH, THAT'S RIGHT, XON! YOU IDIOTS HAVE NO PLAN WHATSOEVER TO FIX THIS, DO YOU?!" "PLEASE LET ME TOSS HER OUT!" Sephirix "SEPHIRIX, SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO THINK!" Xoncron "YOU ALL THINK YOUR BUMBLING AROUND, DOING THE BEST YOU CAN, SURVIVING IT! WELL, THAT AIN'T GOING TO CUT IT! IF HE GOES THROUGH WITH THIS, THERE WILL BE NO WAY FOR ANY OF YOU TO SAVE THIS WORLD, LET ALONE GO HOME!" "WHY YOU-" Sephirix "TOUCH ME AND YOU'LL LOSE THAT HAND!" Xero "ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!" "ARE YOU THREATENING ME, SEPHIRIX?" "DOES IT LOOK LIKE I NEED AN ECHO?!" I walked out of the room. The yelling stopped. Sephirix looked like he was about to murder Xero. I began to speak. "I believe Xero." Everyone looked at me in shock. "Lexa, are you-" Sephirix walked toward me. I took a step back. He stopped. "Lexa?" He said. ".....I don't want to talk to you right now....it's not you, it's me....my heart is....I finally understand what the Nobodies were talking about...." I said and walked outside. The full moon was now a new moon. So much time had passed..... "Lexa?" Xero said and caught up with me. "Yes?" I said. "...."She remained silent. "If you just want to walk with me, that's okay." I said. "You...aren't mad?" She said. "...I don't have enough of a heart to feel mad. Vanitas took that with him." I said. Xero looked at me in extreme shock. "Lexa." She stopped but I walked ahead. "Lexa!" She ran up and caught my arm. "You need to stop this!" She said. "Why?" I asked. "Because I know for a fact Vanitas would not want this for you!" I shook my head. "We'll never know, I guess...." I started to move forward. "NO!" Xero yelled. I looked back. "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIERY LEXA I USED TO HATE SO MUCH!? YOU BURNED SO BRIGHT AND NOW-" Xero looked up at me with a burning, determined expression. "If you refuse to see light, then I'm going to open your eyes." She said. "What-" I suddenly felt like I was being pulled under water. I landed on the bottom, then suddenly was bombarded with memories, some mine, some not- "Tell Lexa I loved her more than anything else in this universe and she's the most brilliant, smartest, beautiful, kindest woman there ever was. She'll make a fine Keyblade Master. You were a good friend, Xoncron. Tell Sephirix to keep his hands off, but no hard feelings. Now, GO!" "Vanitas!" I saw her face. "Hey!" I ran over to her. "Late for school again, slacker?" She asked, wind rustling her black and red uniform. "I can't change for the world." I grinned. "Well, it's a good thing you like the uniforms, then, or you'd never wear them." Lexa laughed. "Did you at least do last night's homework?!" "Lexa, you're my girlfriend, not my mom." I said and kissed her hair. "Oh, screw off." She pushed off me, laughing. " "Maybe you didn't get the point with Sephiroth: you mess with that girl, you mess with me. If you ever make her cry like that again, I'll rip off the flesh off your face with a corkscrew, as slowly and painfully as I deem necessary. Are we clear?!" Vanitas grabbed my wrist and spun me around. "Stop that." Vanitas said, sternly. "What?" I said. "Stop berating yourself for feeling a very real emotion." he explained. "Is this part of the reason you've been so upset lately?" I nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. "I...thought you wouldn't give a damn." Vanitas shook his head in disbelief. "Lexa..." He pulled me in, surprising me again. "To tell you the truth, I've never had anyone give a damn about me before, and it continually amazes me that you seem to." He said. "Really?" I asked. "Yep." He replied. "I started to wake up. She set me against one of the walls and kneeled down to my eye level. "Vanitas, before you fully wake up and get pissed, I want you to know that...." I glared furiously. How dare you, traitor. I still couldn't move; she was an even better spell caster than I originally thought. "I owe you a lot." You bet you do. You don't even now the half of it. "And I know I'm going to hurt you by leaving, but my heart calls me elsewhere. So, I'm going to pay you back as best as I can. You said you didn't want half-way answers a while ago; you want the truth to how I feel for you," Oh, she's going to punch me in the face."here it is-" Here it comes. I braced for impact. She pressed her lips to mine. WHOA!" I wandered around Radiant Garden for a while. What does one do after everything you learned...was a lie.... I looked in a window. I gasped as I saw Lexa. I quickly looked away as I saw her in a black wife-beater, sleeping. It wouldn't hurt if I.... I opened the window, hidden by the shadow. She looked more happier and fiery than I'd ever seen her. She turned over. I backed up, worried she'd see me. She smiled and sighed. "I wonder...." I whispered. I paced over to her bedside, making almost no noise. I placed my hand on her face. I felt myself drift into her mind. "Vanitas!" I turned as I heard my name too late. She tackled me, again, into the ocean, sitting on my chest. "Too slow this time, eh?" I turned red as I saw she was only wearing a bikini and I was only in trunks. "Oh, stop picking on him." I glared at Ventus. Why the hell was he here? "Oh, you know he could kick your ass in three seconds flat if he wanted to." I grinned. Nice to know someone else thought of me highly. Lexa laughed. I saw a multitude of other people standing behind Lexa's towering form. I tried to sit up to see better. "Nope." Lexa pushed me back down, laughing. "Why?" I asked. "Because I have a present for you." She leaned down and... Dreams changed into memories. I watched as memory blurred and faded. I found a pattern in the memories about in the memories. She was second-guessing herself: she'd only had three boyfriends in her life and they'd all ended badly (Oh, I'd just love to break their necks badly). I slipped out of her mind and sat in a corner of the room. I remembered a promise made. "Not just that: Vanitas is my muse, the source of my work and projects and writing,my imagination personified. I feel as if someone's torn a hole in my heart where my imagination." I said. "I'm in love with my work, you could say." "First, you did not turn into one as your light is safeguarded by the one who is your light." "My light? But then why-" The answer hit me like a sack of bricks. "Oh, no, no, no, no, Vanitas, he can't be-that's impossible-" "What is possible and what is impossible are not always set in stone. Regardless, he is your light." I walked in and immediately felt a rush of fury. There sat Xoncron's dark self beside Marluxia and Larxene, sitting in front of a table. "Welcome." Marluxia said. "I see you received our message." "Fix Lexa or I'll break your face, pretty boy. I did what you wanted." I said. "Doesn't anyone care for polite conversation anymore?" Marluxia sighed. "Very well, we'll fix Lexa. You have my sincerest apologies to have made it this way, but we knew you wouldn't come any otherwise." Marluxia said. "Sit, won't you?" I shook my head. "How do you fix this?" I said. "The moment you walked in, we began to make repairs. Isn't that right, Namine?" Marluxia turned toward to a small blonde girl sitting in a corner of the room. She looked scared to death, but she nodded her head. "We've had previous problems with her, but I think we've smoothed things out." Marluxia said, still looking at her. Lexa stirred. "She wakes." Xoncron's dark self said, looking at her hungrily. I clutched her tighter. Lexa awakened, her green eyes looking like emerald infernos. "Vanitas." "Don't move; we're in a very precarious situation." I said. She nodded. "Thank you. I'll take my leave." I said and turned around. "Leaving so soon?" Marluxia said. Larxene laughed. "Treachery." I said. "Yep, you've been 100% duped, idiot." Larxene said. "Or so you think." I turned back around. "I lied when I said I was alone, because, in truth-" Several of my Unversed appeared. "I'm never alone." I dodged out of the way as Xoncron's dark self came flying from behind the overturned table. I opened a dark corridor and ran out. "No, wait, Namine!" Lexa cried out. I groaned and turned back. The occupants of Castle Oblivion were having a hard time defeating my Unversed. "Lexa, run home-don't you dare say no, just go, trust me!" I said and dropped her back in the dark corridor. "And one more thing-" She looked back as she prepared to run. "I love you more than I love me." I quickly said and ran into the fighting room. I ran through the room, dodging lighting, darkness and Marluxia's scythe. "Let's go!" I grabbed Namine's hand. I opened a second dark corridor and sprinted into it, ignoring Marluxia's cry of "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I promise never let you lose yourself. I walked out to Twilight's View, sat at the edge of the platform and stared out over the city. "You look lonely." Vanitas walked up. "...I want to be alone." I said. "No, you don't." Vanitas replied. "Correction: I don't want to be near you." "I'm just so sick of this. I'm sick of not seeing the sun. I'm sick of not being able to sleep well. I'm sick of the nightmares. I'm sick of almost crashing right after training. I'm sick of you being the only person I see since you managed to scare them all off. And the thing I'm most sick of is...." I stopped. "The thing I'm most sick of...is the not knowing and the knowing." I said, almost silent. We sat in silence, Vanitas thinking over what I had said. "You...want to go to another world?" He asked. "What?!" I said, "Look, I'm not asking again. Yes or no?" "Yes, yes, I'm just a little shocked. Let's go!" I said, perked a little. Vanitas opened a dark corridor. He stood in front of it, facing me. "Don't think you can escape, because you can't. Got it?" He said, seriously. I nodded my head rapidly. He grabbed my hand. I walked behind him keeping up with his quick pace easily. We suddenly stopped. Vanitas swiftly moved me in front of him and covered my eyes with one of his hands. "Don't panic; I just want it to be a surprise." He muttered. We walked more slowly for a while and we stopped. Vanitas uncovered my eyes. I was blinded for a moment, then my eyes adjusted. I stared at the seashore as I recognized the place. "Destiny Islands." I said. "I thought you might like it." I nodded. "Thank you so much; this is..." I stopped and laughed. "I really don't have words for this." After a while, we sat at the bent palm tree and talked a bit. I was much more open here and I dare say I got into a much better mood. "Dude, did you see Xig -double-dammit, that's the third time I've done that- "-Vanitas chuckled at my mock frustration-" Braig's face when he realized he got the last cup of espresso yesterday?" I said. "I honestly thought you were going to kill him." Vanitas said. "If I hadn't wanted regular coffee, I might've tried to." I laughed. "Oh, triple dammit, I left all my electronics in my room." I said. "Yeah, me too." Vanitas said. I suddenly got hit with a stroke of devious imagination. "Vanitas, you don't mind water?" I said, slyly. "No, why do you ask?" I grinned mischievously. "Whatever you're thinking of, don't even-!" I tackled Vanitas into the ocean. We resurfaced a few seconds later. "B!tch!" Vanitas spurted out saltwater. I laughed heartily. "Oh, two can play at this!" Vanitas splashed some water in my face. "Hey, you know why the sun sets red?" I said. "Huh?" Vanitas looked at me. "You see, light is made of different colors, and of all those colors, red travels the farthest." I grinned. "Guess we really do travel here, there and everywhere, Red." Vanitas said. I blushed and elbowed him lightly in the ribs. Vanitas laughed. "So, what's your world like?" We sat and talked and laughed for hours. The sun was just a fading shimmer on the horizon as we watched shooting stars. "I don't wanna go back just yet. Do you?" Vanitas said. "Nah." I said. "You know, we could never go back." I said. "Lexa." Vanitas scolded. "Just throwing out an idea. It is a possibility; Xehanort would never expect it." I said plainly. "..." Vanitas remained silent. "But I know you won't." I sighed. "Lexa, I want you to know that...." Vanitas stood up. "WHAT DO YOU CARE?! YOU DON'T GIVE A FLYING LEAP ABOUT ME OR ANY OF US! YOU DON'T GIVE TWO RED CENTS ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF!" I stood up, face turning red and hot. I started making him back up. "Lexa, stop!" Xoncron said. "NO! THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND HIM! IF YOU HADN'T LIED TO ME AND MADE ME THINK THAT EVERYONE WAS DEAD, I COULD HAVE ENDED THIS BETTER, YOU SON OF A-" I stopped abruptly. My rage had reached its peak. I flew up my hand and backhanded Vanitas. To say it hurt is the least of it. I had forgotten about the metallic parts of his helmet and my hand stung. He turned his head back to me, eyes blazing fury. He snatched my right hand, still in the air. "That was uncalled for!" "LIKE HELL, IT WAS UNCALLED FOR!" I yelled back. "You really don't know when to quit, do you? "I. HATE. YOU." I roared at Vanitas. "REALLY?! BECAUSE I THINK OTHERWISE!" Vanitas yelled back. "What?" I said, shocked. "Your dark-side seemed to think differently! EXPLAIN THAT!" I stared for a minute, then turned away. "Look at me!" He grabbed the side of my face and pulled it closer to him, making it impossible to do anything else. "You're giving me answers. Now, start talking." He said. "I..." I tried to move back. "Now." He demanded. "I...can't tell you." I said. "Why?!" He growled. "I just can't." I said. "Can't or won't?" "Both." I said. "I'm tired of all these half-answers; you owe me, Lexa. Talk." I swear Vanitas's eyes do have hypnotizing powers. I started talking. "I do...like you....a lot." Vanitas glared. "I....was told by a very reliable source...you and I are....have....Don't judge me, it's not my choice!" I said. "What?" He said. "You and I....are connected. More tightly than most." "Really?" He tightened his grip on my wrist. "Ow." I said. "That's why you're so obsessed. Hate to break the truth to you, but your heart's been stolen by one who has none." His eyes were cold and hard. "Lies." I said. "LIES?!" "Lies told by Xehanort to you. Lies meant to keep you under his control. Listen to me. Xehanort is using you, just as he used Terra, the first Organization-" "How dare you." He moved his hand from my face to my other wrist. "Xehanort has done everything for me to-" "To be his puppet." I said, unafraid. "I'm no one's puppet." He said. "Yes, you are." I said. "Listen to someone besides yourself and Xehanort! Please!" He shoved me into Xoncron. "Pathetic. I've no time for sentiment. Take it to someone who cares." He opened a dark corridor. I ran forward and grabbed his arm. "Please, don't go." I said. He looked back at me. "You know, you're rather sexy when you're pissed. Maybe it's your eyes. Kind of reminds me of myself. They have a habit of showing what's inside, if you catch my drift." He tapped beside his right eye and winked. "Vanitas?" "Yeah?" "Love you." "Rest. You need it." "Doesn't change that I lo-" "Don't you dare say that word." "Coffee." I said in a monotone. "Coffee?" he said, bemused. "Anything highly sugary and full of caffeine." I answered. "Wheresakitchen?" My words started to press together. Vanitas chuckled. "C'mon." I had to ask after breakfast where the kitchen was again, because I sleepwalked to it the first time. After 3 cups of coffee, I'd woken up for the most part. "Awake?" Vanitas asked. "Almost." I said. I went for another cup. "You're such a crack addict." Vanitas shook his head. "I don't get coffee often at home." I replied. "I think there may be good reason for that." Vanitas said. "Are you implying something?" I asked. "I implied nothing." Vanitas said, grinning. "What are you so happy for?" I asked. "It's going to be hilarious when you crash." "Considering my caffeine intake, that's gonna be a while." I said. "Lexa." I turned around. There stood Vanitas, holding a bouquet of red roses. "Are those for me?" I asked, curious. "Who else?" He said, smoothly and placed the bundle in my hands. The garden we were standing in was so beautiful. "You like this place?" He asked. I nodded, admiring the scenery. He wrapped an arm around my waist. "What are you-" Vanitas pressed his lips to mine. My face was glowing red. He pulled back and laughed. "Why is it you always get so red, Ginger?" I rolled my eyes."Catch me if you can!" He laughed again and raced to the gate. "Wait!" I ran after him. No matter how fast I went, he was always just out of my reach. The garden faded out into dark, dead forest. Suddenly, Vanitas disappeared. "Vanitas?" I called out. I turned around. I couldn't escape the gaze of the personification of my fears: the Slender Man. I quickly turned and ran. "VANITAS, WHERE ARE YOU?" I screamed. Suddenly he was in front of me. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" "LEXA! LEXA! LEXA, WAKE UP!" I quickly opened my eyes. Vanitas was standing over me, shaking my shoulders furiously. My body was shaking so much from fear and the cold sweat. "Are you okay?!" Vanitas said. I shook my head rapidly. Tears unwillingly flowed down in a stream. "Was it a bad dream?" He asked. "A night terror." I managed out. "Wanna talk about it?" He said, uneasily. I shook my head again. I instinctively leaned into Vanitas's chest and cried and cried. I couldn't believe I was breaking down like this, but it was so..."I know, I know." It was at this point I realized I was babbling out loud. I stopped and just let myself calm down. I was still shaking a bit, but I had stopped crying. "I came down here because I heard someone screaming my name at the top of their lungs." Vanitas said. "Oh?" I said. "I ran in and you were thrashing like mad and shrieking like someone was trying to kill you. That bad of a dream?" I nodded. We sat in silence for a while, not moving. "I think you can guess by now what my feelings are." I said. "Let you keep your feelings to yourself." He said. "Huh?" I said and looked up. "Whatever your feelings are, you can't change them on a whim, am I right?" Vanitas said. "Yeah...?" I said. "Then I'm not going to judge you." He said. "Vanitas, got to promise me something." I said and grabbed his hands. "What?" He asked. "Promise you'll never return to the dark. Promise you'll never go back to Xehanort, no matter what." I said. "I swear." Vanitas said. "I mean it, I'm never going back. I'll always be right beside you. Consider me your slave." He grinned, trying to cheer me up. "Really, now?" I said. "Yep." He answered. "Say you love me." "Ah, why'd you say the L-word?!" He clutched his ears, playfully. "Say it!" I demanded, a small smile on my face." "Never." He said. "Say it, or I'll make you dye your hair Marluxia-pink!" I said. "You truly are a cruel woman." Vanitas surrendered. "Alright: I l-lo-lov- do I really have to do this?" Vanitas said. "Say it or say good-bye to hot, sexy hair." I threatened. "Alright, I love you. There." I giggled. "Wasn't that hard, was it?" I said. "Now that I think of it..."Vanitas said. I clutched my heart. If I couldn't save myself, then I'd save her. I'd make sure she'd be safe. I summoned my Glider. I rode as fast as I could across the desert. I met Lexa riding Xoncron's Glider. "Vanitas!" Xoncron said in surprise. I shook my head. "Land!" I yelled. "What is it?" Lexa said. "Lexa, go after Sephirix! You are the fastest out of the two of us!" I ordered. "Why-" Lexa started. "I don't have time, except to do this." I put Void Gear into her hand. "In your hand, take this Key. So long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be. And you will find me, friend—no ocean will contain you then. No more borders around, or below, or above, so long as you champion the ones you love." "Take Void Gear. It shall serve you well. Now, GO!" "Why-" "JUST GO!" I hoisted her up onto the Glider and pushed her on, watched her leave quickly. "Vanitas, what is going on?!" Xoncron said. "I'm cursed: he put a spell on me to where my heart's going to go supernova in less than 10 minutes. Xoncron-" I grabbed Xoncron as hard I could on the shoulder. "You make sure no one ever gets her, alright? I don't know how this is all going to play out, but you have to swear that you'll keep her safe, alright? Swear it! On your word as Keyblade Master!" I demanded, feeling time leaving me. "I swear it." Xoncron said. "Then I have nothing left in this world to worry about. Give this to Lexa." I handed Xoncron a large envelope. "This is all the information Lexa will need after this, alright? She's going to get really depressed after this. Make sure you keep her light burning. Else everything we've done is for nothing." I said. "You've got to go." Xoncron nodded. "Keep her safe and..." I sat back against the ground and watched the sky. "What a life." I said. I remember a song I particularly remember from Lexa's I-Pod. I smiled and started singing softly. Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apart Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start. I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Don't speak as loud as my heart And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start Running in circles, chasing our tails Coming back as we are Nobody said it was easy Oh it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start. I watched a few shooting stars fly up into the sky. "Bye." I whispered. I closed my eyes and waited. I found something in that moment that I'd never found before: peace. I was at peace. Who ever thought it would be so hard to find something so.... I felt the wind rustled my hair as my time started to run out. "Ending at the beginning..." I gasped and opened my eyes as I felt my heart shatter. Lexa....Love.......You....... I opened my eyes. Xero looked back at me. "Xero, how did you-" "I didn't. Your heart has had them all this time." She said. I felt a tear run down my face. I touched the Wayfinder. "Promise." I said. "Okay." I started walking quickly back to the house. "Hey, slow down, where's the fire!?" Xero said. I busted into the house, slamming the door opened. "Yeah, just to let you know, the old-non-depressive-Lexa is back. Which reminds me-" I ran up to Sephirix and punched him in the nose. "That's a parting gift from Vanitas, deal with it." I said. "Let's get down to business. We've got a big problem, yes?" I looked over at Xero. "Huge. Luckily, that problem has been delayed via the force of the explosion Vanitas created." I nodded. "Alright, Xero, I agree with you: we've tried everything else, and that's a guarantee, but let's use that as a last resort. Xoncron, you're the mad scientist, any ideas?" "What?" I replied to their silence. "What?! Do I look like a mirror? No? Then, stop staring!" They continued to give me this look: 0_0. "For the love of God, let's NOT waste the time we've been given!" I said. "Well, that was a radical change." Xoncron finally spoke up. I sighed. "Look, we'll talk about my emotional issues after this over. Until then, let's keep to business." I said. "Xero's right about a plan: we need one. Xoncron, you're training with me, Vanitas-style. Rixec, go make sure everyone is prepared in case we do lose. Sephirix-" I looked over at him-"I have no idea what to do with you. Xero, go smooth things over with the Organization. Convince them, 'kay?" I said. Xero nodded and left. "More bricks!" I yelled out. "Lexa, I think that's too much." "Xoncron, I was half-exhausted and I did more than this." I said as I did another push-up. Xoncron sighed, but added more bricks to the board on my back. "God, Vanitas trains hardcore." Xoncron shook his head. "Yep." I said shortly and pushed up again. "So glad it's night." I said. "Hmm?" Xoncron said. "Gets me in the mood." I answered. "More." Xoncron shook his head. "Look, I have to be as stronger or stronger than he is. This ain't gonna cut it." I said. "Lexa, you're crazy." Xoncron said but put on more. When I reached my limit, I flipped the board off my back, sweat pouring down. "And that's why I don't wear my coat during warm-ups." I said. "That was a warm-up?!" Xoncron said. I grinned. "Vanitas wasn't one to go easy. Neither will I." I said. "Your turn." "Are you serious?!" Xoncron said. I nodded. "Fine." He said. Xoncron did really well for his first "hardcore" workout. Better than I did. "Reached your limit?" I asked. He nodded, straining too much to talk. I kicked the bricks off. Xoncron rolled on his back, panting. "Good job. We'll try again in an hour or two." Xoncron groaned. "That's what I said." I replied. I had planned on training Xoncron more, but I ended training myself more. When Xero returned, she helped me to push myself further. She got a massive kick out of it. As I pushed myself harder and harder, I had one thought on my mind. He is going to pay. Dearly.

Okay, massive boredom/imagination is locked out of creativity mode=random Lexa

I think I saw Demyx with a cookie. He looked rather sneaky......

Try in the fridge. That's where everything in my house ends up.

Don't look at me. I has Pocky.

Sorry for you.

I feel lonely.......

I feel sorry for you.

Lexa I rushed over to Rixec as the Glider hovered in midair. "Welcome back, friend." I said and grinned. I looked over the horizon to see Xoncron speeding toward us. "Good, good. You okay over there?" I called over Sephirix. "Oh, just perfectly hunky-dorry!" He retorted. I tossed an elixir. "Thanks." He said.Xoncron appeared, looking panicked. "WE NEED TO GO!" He yelled. I hoisted up Rixec onto my Glider while Sephirix got on his bike. "You 'kay to drive that?!" I called out. "Fine!" He yelled back as he revved it up. "But, Xoncron, what about-" Xoncron connected his Glider to Vanitas's and started towing it. We had just reached the reach of the world when it imploded. I gasped as I felt my own heart rip and shred, tearing a whole part loose. "Lexa?!" Rixec said. I felt a huge void. "No." My mind sent to me a happy place as my heart fought against me. "Wow, it's been a while since I checked this thing out." I said and sat at the computer underneath the mansion."What're you going to try to do?" Vanitas said."Hopefully, I get that feed of Sephirix up..." I said. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere. "Great...." I sighed. "You did your best, right?" Vanitas said. "Yep." I answered. "You know..." Vanitas got a sly look. "This is the only time in a while we've been alone. "I looked back. "True..." I answered. Vanitas pulled me up and close to him. "You know what?" I said. "Hmm?" He said. I started talking before the eyes could distract me. "I'm glad you're few inches taller than me." I said. "And I'm glad you're just the way you are." I blushed. "Smooth-talker." I joked. "Tease." Vanitas replied. "How am I a tease?!" I said. "Because I said so." Vanitas leaned closer. "If nothing else, you're the tease." I said. "True enough." He admitted and closed the distance Vanitas started to pull back. I looked up at him. Vanitas smiled. "Looks like we're going to be stuck here for a while." I said."Yeah." Vanitas agreed. I sat down against the wall. "I'm okay with it. Means we get to talk." I said. Vanitas chuckled and sat next to me. "What?" I asked. "It's one of my favorite things about you, Lexa. Always so positive. So stubborn. You don't know how many times I've thanked Kingdom Hearts that you are about as stubborn as me. Scratch that, even more so. I've needed someone who's going to butt heads with me and not back down. You're just...." Vanitas looked my way. "In my view, you are perfect. And not perfect as in uniformity. Your imperfections make you even more perfect than that. I'm so...I'm just really happy that you chose, out of all the other wiser choices out there, chose me." I really started to turn red. "You think the world of me, don't you?""You are my world.""That's cute, but kind of overdone, Vanitas.""I know, but it's true.""...."".....""Vanitas?""Hmm?" I looked back at him. "Do you ever get scared?" I asked. "...for myself, never. For you...always." He answered honestly. "...Lexa, if I had my way, I'd keep you somewhere, locked down, safe, even more so than now, but...." I tilted my head. "You're a free spirit and you'd get mad. Real mad. Not to mention hurt." Vanitas said. "You bet I would." I said. "And that's why I won't do anything crazy like that." Vanitas said. "I've tried to do what was best for you. It's harder than it seems." "I can tell." I said. "Really?" Vanitas said. "Yep. You've changed a lot." I said. "....I have, haven't I?" He said. "I never got to ask you: why did you leave the Organization?" I asked. "Because I went back and not even five minutes after you left, you proved yourself." Vanitas said, bitterly. "Huh?" I said. "They were planning how to get rid of you and then me." He said. "Guess that blew up in their faces." I said. We sat in silence for a while. "Lexa?" "Mm?" "..."Vanitas tried to word his thoughts. "What, Vanitas?" I asked. "Why did you pick me? I mean, you've had three jerk boyfriends and you just suddenly pick me. Why?" "Well, it just seemed- hey, I never told you about having ex-es." I narrowed my eyes as Vanitas got a guilty expression. "Spill." I said. "You know how I was your stalker?" He said. "Yeah, what about it?" I said. "You were kind of talking in your sleep and I kind of got curious..." Vanitas said. "Uh-huh. And then what?" I said. "I kind of...peeked into your dreams. I got curious! You said my name, how was I not supposed to?" Vanitas said, quickly. I shook my head. "You are such a stalker." I said and moved closer to him. "Love you." I said. "And I, you, even more." Vanitas wrapped his arms around my shoulders. In those arms, I felt safe. I was in my happy place. So happy. Shattered. My heart broke off and shattered. I felt a strong pair of arms catch me. Not his. Not him. Why? Why was I so hurt? Someone was wailing. Someone was hurt. It was a female voice. She was hurting. I was wailing. I was hurt. I was screaming. Why was I screaming? It wasn't so sad anymore. I was....angry? Why was I angry? Who was I yelling at? It hurt to yell so loud. I felt something hit the back of my head and I fell into blissfully peaceful darkness. I awoke slowly. "Lexa?" I gingerly lifted myself up and opened my eyes. I was back in the house in Radiant Garden. Xoncron sat at the end of the bed. "I'm not even going to bother to ask you how you are." He said, gently. I nodded. "You want to talk?" I shook my head, unable to speak. "..." he gave this to me to give you. Said it had all you needed." He put a huge, brown envelope on my lap. A wet spot appeared on it. I shakily opened it. The first thing that fell out was... A black-and-red Wayfinder. Parts were made of glass, others of metal, brought together like a stained glass window. The word Promise was written in silver and gold cursive on the center, the word wrapping around an Unversed symbol, inside the symbol, a mysteriously glowing stone. It was so beautiful.... I covered my mouth in shock. How had he ever found the time to make this masterpiece...I picked it up. It felt sturdy, despite its delicate appearance. "Wow." Xoncron said. I noticed that there was a chain connected to it and the intention of it became obvious. I put it over my head and it became a necklace, magnetically clicking in the back. I felt tears stream down my face as I got a second look at it. I looked up at Xoncron. "..." I tried to say something. Instead, I put my head into my hands and started crying. Xoncron moved over and put his arms around me. I honestly have no idea how long I stayed like that. It was a while after I stopped when Xoncron said something. "The last time I saw Vanitas, all he could think about was you. He told me you were the most beautiful, smart, amazing woman he'd ever met. I don't remember exactly what he said, but that was the main idea." He said quietly. "Really?" I said. "You were his first and foremost, Lexa." Xoncron said. "Really?" I looked up. Xoncron nodded. I closed my eyes. "Thanks, Xoncron." I said. "No problem. You're like a little sister." He said. Suddenly, we heard a ruckus outside. "STOP! WHAT THE HELL-" The door to the room flung open. Xero stood in the door, looking battle-worn and wild-eyed. "Lexa." She panted and sighed in relief. I stared in shock. "Listen, you know I'm desperate if I'm coming to you! Here me out!" She said in a rush. "What?" I said, confused. "Listen, we don't have much time. THAT-" Xero toned it down. "Dark-Xon defeated-" She stopped and winced hard. "-God, even hurts to say his name, Dark Xon defeated him in order to weaken or even destroy your heart." Xero said. "Listen, I SWEAR, I'm not lying and I'm not going to hurt anyone, please. He's going to effectively destroy the world if you let that happen, Lexa. You and Xoncron are the world's hope. Look, I might want to make your life hell at times, but I REALLY don't want to end the world. And-" Xero hesitated. "Honestly, I'm kind of out of that job." I felt the corners of my mouth slightly lift. "How do we know you aren't just trying to stab us in the back?" Xoncron said. "Would I EVER say please for somebody else?!" I suddenly stood up and walked over to Xero. I stared her down. I opened my mouth. "You know this is partially your fault." I said, voice like gravel. "I know, and I had NO idea it would cause either of us so much pain. I-I-I-" Xero turned her head. I tilted my head to see her face better. She was trying very, very hard not to show her emotions. "Xero?" I said, voice starting to smooth over. She looked up, eyes like water. "I'm so sorry." She whispered. I don't have to tell you how hard it was to keep eye contact with her golden eyes. "So, what is your plan?" I said. Xero looked on edge. "I have an idea, but he's not going to like it." She looked pointedly at Xoncron."I've run through this mathematically, yes, I'm a math FREAK, unlike you, don't ask, and I've only come up with one sure way of defeating idiot's dark-side over there...." She hesitated again. "We need to forge the X-Blade."
