Org. XIV (story)

"Haha," Archer glowered at him. "Fair warning, kiddo. Geez. I was only going to use that mode to try and knock you out with the shockwave. But you were handicapped so I guess this doesn't really count."

Nick nodded, "I see. You're still pretty strong, I think you're actually stronger than I am. For right now anyways. I used to be a lot stronger before I lost my abilities."

"Maybe, maybe not. I'm handicapped myself too," Archer grumbled. "But when am I not these days? You'd better go get yourself checked out by that Lance guy."

Nick shook his head, "Nah, I'll be fine. Attis has brought me back from worse before." He explained.

"Eh. If you say so," Archer glanced at the remaining scars. "Just wanted to be sure." She tossed her braid back with a flick of her head as she stretched lazily. "I guess that counted as a short warm-up. Sparring still isn't my thing, it seems."

Nick smirked, "Honestly, I'm happy you went a little to strong with the spar. Now that I have Attis back I have a way of recuperating from damage." He explained thoughtfully.

"Gee, I'm glad you took looking at death's gate so well," Archer drawled, "Just wondering. Between you and Lance, who's stronger?"

Aleri walked in, seeing Nick and Archer talking. Against his better judgement, he interrupted... "Well, I don't know how tough this guy is, but Lance is pretty tough himself. My money would be on him."

"That's good to know," Archer faintly cocked a brow at Aleri. "but I won't be making snap judgments just yet."

<Well, shouldn't have that opening to the battle lost. >_>>

In front of Daniel popped a Dusk, swooshing movements, almost dancing. Followed by another, and another. In total six Dusks appeared around Daniel.

And just then, one last Dusk appeared.

Spinning like a rag doll corkscrewing and falling down to Daniel, the warewolf jumped back before contact, the falling Dusk's arm almost acting like a blade as it clinger to the ground, would have done serious damage. The Dusk looked up at Daniel; it's zipper mouth opening.

Anxield

<But of course, Retcon>

Within the battle arena of Ancient Greece, Kyxcir was trying to get Auron's attention, but failed. Auron looked down and away from Kyxcir.

"Huh? Auron!" Kyxcir yelled even louder, his hands coned around his mouth to make it louder.

Kyxcir felt a tug at his coat. "Hold up, kid!" It was Phill. "Herc's getting his well deserved 10 minute sleep! You nearly tricked me!"

Yeah, "nearly". Kyxcir thought to himself.

Phill escorted him back to the entrence to the arena, then back outside.

"You can't pull one over on me, Ricky" Phill said confidently.

"Yeah, Phill. You're as sharp as Posiden's triton".

Phill began walking back to the arena entrence.

"Hey, Ricky?"

"Yeah, Phill?"

"...Don't be a stranger".

Phill then went back inside.

"I wonder what's up with Auron? I could use another Dark Corridor to go back, but I think I stayed here long enough". Kyxcir opened his portal of darkness, and walked into it, it falling into a puddle of darkness and disapatting.

XxxX

The World That Never Was - Memory's Skyscraper.

Another dark portal opened up, and out came The Division's Second in command; Kyxcir.

<No, that was actually pretty cool. Except everyone seems to spell Anxeild wrong. EI, people, EI.>
Daniel sighed. He wasn't surprised the Dusk knew his name. He just wished it knew something about his current state. Human. He whipped Hell's Fang out of his belt. "You don't want to attack me." He killed the Dusk who'd slashed at him. One blow. He left the other five alone as he placed the Keyblade back in his belt.

<But I before E except after C.

Except in "Society". >_>>

<Oh, and I retcon'd that. Unless you want to keep it.

I assume Daniel's at the beginning of the World, where Sora, and Mickey start at?

So, just have him bash Dusks, and a few different types, until he reaches Kyxcir. Good?

And in total they were 7 Dusks. 6 around him, and one above him.>

The remaining Dusks were unaffected by their partner's death, they began to circled Daniel, they sluggish, slow, long movements. They all turned toward Daniel. Appeared a giant triangle above one of the Dusk's head. Then that Dusk pulled back it's arm and gave a slash with it's sharp arm.

XxxX

Zane scratched his head looking at Xeromus. "Hey, boss? Did ya hear what I asked?"

<I'll keep it. And really I meant for him to be right in front of the castle, but hey.>
Daniel jumped back and sighed. "You guys never were good at learning, were you?" He cut the Dusk in half and walked forward, his Keyblade staying out. He had no need to fight these other Dusks.

Xeromus opened his eyes. "What? I apologize, I was sleeping. I AM recovering from severe injuries."

"Oh, sorry! Uhhh...." Zane thought over. "Any news? Need me to do a mission? You need anything?"


XxxX

Each Dusk stopped in their movements. They all floated and slithered to Daniel, only three were left. The last Dusk kept it's slither and went to the next area. It's hollow sound echoing.

The with only half the remaining ranks, their moves would be much faster. Each Dusk slashed one after the next.

XxxX

Memory's Skyscraper.

Kyxcir was about to walk to the Castle, when that Dusk flew past him and stopped him.

It unzipped it's mouth.

Anxeild

"Anxeild?" Kyxcir pondered.

He then flew past Kyxcir and back to where it came.

"Hey! Get back here, you stupid Dusk!" Kyxcir began to followed the Dusk.

Nick shook his head, "Lance was always stronger than me. At least ever since he discovered his powers. Some of his attacks land in the Almighty category, I can't make any sort of resistance to them." He explained, "Morning Star and Dark Viper, those two skills are the strongest ones I've seen him use. Course that isn't including his DMW which let's him borrow skills from his allies."

Aleri nodded. "Yeah. 'My Friends Are My Power', only taken up a notch."

Daniel shrugged. He used a move he'd seen in a game one time. He held his sword out horizontally and spun in a circle, killing the Dusks as they came at him. He ran after the one that had gone toward the castle.

<LoL, LoZ.>

Rexial continued running toward... whoever was fighting. He ran for several minutes before remembering that he could use Dark Corridors.

He opened one to his room and threw his stuff in, then opened one to the approximate location of the clashing powers.

Rexial ran through, hoping not to come out right in the middle of it...

<And? Do you have a problem with LoZ?>

<Not at all. I just caught the reference. Was my play-on-letters that offensive? Sorry, man.>

Rexial came out and looked around. He had appeared right next to somebody.

He was wearing a strange black coat that WASN'T one of the Organization's. He has strange, spiky, long hair that looked like it would cuthim if he touched it. There was a strange shimmering effect about him, and his face was mostly obscured by his hair.

"Oh, it seems we have another spectator now." He said. "I am Sukiru. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am... well, I would call myself an observer, but that may draw the ire of that gentleman who is fighitng the Lost Key."

"Lost Key? Gentleman?" Rexial looked at the two fighters. One appeared to be... "Gunamnex? And... Who is that girl? For her to fight that guy and not submit... that's amazing. I... I would probably be able to match their speed if I tried my best, but my strength is inferior to theirs..." He just stood there, in shock and awe.

"Well, good sir, would you mind telling me your name?"

"Oh, uh... Rexial. So, what's this fight about?"

The mysterious man, Sukiru, simply shrugged. "They've been fighting for quite a while now. I already forgot what their reason was. But it's certainly impressive. I'm watching because... I have nothing better to do."

Rexial thought about the situation for a moment. Hmm... This guy is most likely the REALLY WEIRD dark presense I felt. But there's one more I haven't run into yet... It's not as weird, but i certainly bugs me. It's coming from back in the town. But... Maybe I'll watch the fight for a while longer. "...Someday, I'm gonna be that strong. I'm not a pushover, but I'm not nearly on that level."

Sukiru seemed to be struggling with his face for a moment, eventually settling on a grimace. "You'll get there someday, Mr. Rexial."

Is he trying- and failing- to smile?

<No one was suppose to be able to witness the fight. It's in a place where time has stopped and no one can enter, hence why Whats Up hasn't progressed with anyone else of the Dark Bloodline.>

<It's also in the past, almost two days now compared to the current plot speed. Adding to that, its a place only Gunamnex knows of. It's called the "clock of fate" for a reason.>

<Everyone forgets about it but me, lol. I was prepared to have it center stage, then everything else blew by like a Hurricane>

Roland, ducking into an alleyway, reappeared next to Oxthmas.

"I thought you were staying in town?" Oxthmas said with a puzzled expression.

"I was, but I drank the tavern dry almost, and I decided to return via an alleyway portal. I could have just teleported instantly, but I just rather not spook the common folk with that portal stuff."

"Roland, you do realize this is not a normal town..."

Roland looked to Oxthmas and chuckled.

"Well, I'm just old fashioned then I guess. Didn't really use portals much till the war."

<No, Nebula. your play on letters just seemed like you were laughing at the series... >

<...-_- Just like the reason why they were fighitng in the first place, any details from the beginning of the fight have been forgotten by me. And... let's just say Sukiru found a loophole. He hasn't been established much, but that's one of his specialties. And, for reasons that would spoil some of the plot, Rexial could sense it through Sukiru's magical loophole.>

Pheonix nodded next to Oxthmas, "Yeah, Lance uses DCs in town all the time. They've accepted it as normal pretty much." She explained.
