 Nikolai "Just a ticking time bomb. Ready to explode." ⇙ ⇖ ☢ ⇗ ⇘ Nik felt alive with the tension in the air. He spun his giant chakram around more than stopped. He was about to charge at the group when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to see it was Virule. He let out a frustrated sigh and looked back at Johnny. His body ached for battle. "..........Okay....." He tried to calm down, but seeing Johnny right there was not helping. He gripped his giant chakram ring when Virule whispered to him. Nik tensed up. He had to hold back, but it was so hard when the temptation was in front of him. Johnny stood up and rushed to attack Nik. Nik grinned and was about to block his attack when Virule stepped forward and blocked Johnny's attack. Nik let out an irritated sigh.
Virule lashed out at Johnny with one of his swords. The urge to fight was growing stronger inside Nik, and it was hard to hold back any longer. Virule grabbed his hand and pulled him back over to Akito and the others. If Virule was not there, a fight surely would have broke out. Virule shoved him down so that he was now sitting on the ground. Nik grumbled and his giant chakram blade split back into two chakrams. "....You're right Virule....." Nik's eyes stayed locked on Johnny. He gripped his chakrams as he sat there. Night was beginning to fall. Nik started laughing along side of Virule. "I'll hunt you down Rat!!!!!" He yelled at Johnny. Kyoki would be happy to find out Johnny still lived. Nik put his chakrams away and watched the group, trying to relax his eager body. He still yearned for battle and have his blades dance in the fight. ⇙ ⇖ ☢ ⇗ ⇘ Quote: Chakram of the WarlordEffect: When combined the weapon holds it's form for three turns (three Nik posts) and temporarily grants the user with faster striking speed.

  Kana
“The world will never take my heart.” ♔ღ♔ღ♔ღ♔ღ ✗ Kana watched at the member of organization XIII with the ridiculous side burns pinned Nix against a wall. Kana felt useless, even with Silent Twilight gripped tightly in her hand out of anger and frustration, her arm began to shake a little. These people were out of their league, they were all far too inexperienced, with the exception of Sora and Roxas but still. Kana knew her, Johnny and Leon were bound to get beat up, bad.
Kana’s predication was right of course, Johnny got in a confrontation with the formidable pink haired man and got beat up, bad. He laid on the ground suffering great wounds, Kana ran to his side and saw that he was crying and saying something about children. Tears welled up in Kana’s eyes. Poor guy, he’s so brave…or crazy either way… Kana stood up and clutched silent twilight and go in a defensive stance in case anyone tried to attack Johnny. She didn’t have a spell or potion to cure him but she could at the very least stop him from getting hurt...Well hurt more.
♔ღ♔ღ♔ღ♔ღ
OOC: Sorry this is terrible and short and totally uninspired, I just wanted to get SOMETHING up for you guys. I feel so bad crying and also, this took forever because I passed out on my laptop halfway through my post and was only able to get back on the computer right now. I’m terribly sorry crying
“I am not afraid to walk this world alone.”

 ℝoxas ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ Roxas was so focused on Xemnas that Xaldin's attack, Luxord appearing behind him, Xigbar taunting him, and Johnny getting his butt kicked never phased him. The dual keyblader narrowed his eyes and stared hard at Xemnas, locking his gaze with that of Xemnas'. He's asking me to join them again? Is he serious? After everything that happened?
Turning, Roxas stared at Sora for a moment and frowned. Looking back at Xemnas, Roxas closed his eyes and shook his head. "Xemnas. Your offer is tempting, I must admit. I want to be my own person, more than anything. But if it means working for you again, I don't think I can handle that. It would be even worse working for a scumbag like him." Nodding towards Akito, Roxas sighed. "Sorry Xemnas, but your two groups shouldn't be here. You shouldn't even exist! So, I refuse. I'll find my own path to freedom, I don't need someone like you!"
Turning back around, he stared at Luxord for a moment before looking at Xaldin. "Xaldin, let her go. I can't see you willfully following a monster like him. Both of you return to the others. Let us go and we'll leave you and the others in peace for now. Does that sound good to you?" Glancing over his shoulder, Roxas sighed again and shook his head, releasing Oblivion and Oathkeeper. "I've disarmed. We need to get these two back to wherever it is this group is from. They need medical attention as soon as possible. So please, just let us go." ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ XIII The Key of Destiny

 Sora The heart may be weak,
And sometimes it may even give in.
But I've learned that deep down
There's a light that never goes out.. ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ Sora couldn't believe what the Nobody had just done. He pinned Nix against the wall like a BUG! His fear was replaced by anger, and now he glared at the Nobodies. He let Kingdom Key drop out of his hand and fall into nothing. "Dammit, FINE! But if you want to prove yourself, why dont you fight me!?! Instead of picking on some rookies!" He barked at Xaldin, glancing around at Leon, whom Luxord had just spoken too. Leon was about to attempt a assault Xaldin, and as much as it would satisfy Sora to see him getting the crap beat out of him by Leon, he was still a rookie, and that would only put Nix in a worse state. He glanced at Roxas pleadingly, and than caught Johnny quickly charge at Akito, this damn fool! "JOHNNY NO!" He cried out, but it was too late, he quickly proceeded to get his a** handed to him. Sora ran too him and fell to his knees beside him. "Don't talk man. You idiot! You fool! What did I tell you!?! You're a newbie kid, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD! I told you, these guys are trouble, and WE'RE OUTNUMBERED! What if Xaldin killed Nix because you don't have any self control? Huh!?! THINK! Leon! Get over here! We could use some magic right about now!" He yelled at Johnny more harshly than he meant to. He wasnt scared of the Organization, or the Guild. He was scared of what would happen to his allies, and the worst has happened. "Look Johnny, you need to be more careful, ok? Just listen for once, I know my stuff. GET OVER HERE LEON! I promise, i'll get us out of this, somehow. You've been really brave Johnny, just sit back and rest. Let me and Roxas fix this." He promised.
He exhaled, on the verge of Hyper Ventilating, as Leon glared at Luxord for a few seconds, taking his hand off of Silent Heart. He ran towards Johnny, hurrying towards his wounded ally. Leon secretly agreed with Sora, but he pitied Johnny cause of his pain, and said nothing as he knelt beside him. Sora nodded at Leon, obviously wanting him to heal Johnny. He stood up, and gazed at Xemnas. "It is not you i'm afraid of, but the fact you harm my allies, and now I am no longer afraid, but certain. You have given me resolve, enough to know that I SHALL see to it that you are stopped once again. I saw too your downfall once before, and I'll do it again. And you. . ." He boomed, turning to Akito. "I didn't say it should end, I said it will end. Nix is not "owned" by anybody, she is a person. Not some object to be toyed with. If you ever harm my friends again, I will end you. You know what I'm capable of." He promised, raising a hand and pointing at Akito. He expected laughter to come from one or all of his adversaries, but he would not be moved. He mean't what he said. "Now than, Roxas is right, let us go Xaldin. . . is it me you want?" He rumbled. ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ ═

 Ɍєησ
The Turks :±:■:±:■:±:■:±:■:±: Everything had happened so fast. Nix had burst from his arms, only to be attacked and pinned to the wall right behind him. Then their escape route was blocked by some blonde b*****d with an attitude. Johnny attacked Akito, only to get his a** kicked by Virule. Finally, both Roxas and Sora disarmed, leaving the group in the hands of their enemies. The situation had gone from seriously bad to practically impossible. To make things worse for Reno personally, Virule had practically ignored him! This irritated the normally cocky redhead, but he refused to let it show. His concern was on his allies, not on revenge.
Reno closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Upon opening them, he looked around at everybody, trying to figure out the best course of action. Oh, how he would have loved to lunge at Xaldin and crush him. Or perhaps going after Virule, but that would be suicide now that it had turned dark. Dammit Reno! Think of something you idiot! Smacking himself a few times in the sides of his head, the frustrated man got on his knees and bowed his head. "Please, all of you, just let us go. Please. Like Blondie said, we need to get our friends some serious medical attention."
Looking up at Virule, Reno narrowed his eyes and practically snarled. "Oh, don't get me wrong. I hate you. Virule, you nearly killed someone who's like a sister to me. You, you freaking dark coward. I don't care what your name is, but you're obviously Pinky's boss. Saying what you did about Nix was going too far. She's Human like the rest of us down here! She's not your goddamn toy! I promise that the next time I see you, if you dare insult her again you'll have a serious fight on your hands! And you..."
Reno rose and turned, pointing his weapon at Xaldin's face. "You attacked a woman who could barely even stand! Do you feel proud of yourself?! Do all of you feel like you've accomplished something here today?! Proving that you can pick on a bunch of people weaker than yourselves?! If you want to prove your strength, wait until we've gotten stronger, then you can really test your mettle against us! I guarantee that you'll be in for some serious a**-whooping you stupid monsters! I'm sick of getting pushed around by the Guild! I'm sick of seeing my friends hurt when I can't do crap to stop it!"
Angered by everything that was taking place, and angered further by the fact that he had to actually bow down and beg these people to let them go, Reno started to shake violently. He clenched and unclenched his fists periodically for a moment until he could calm himself down. When he finally had, he took a few more deep breaths and glared back at Virule. No words were spoken, but a silent, clear challenge had been issued. The next time they saw each other, regardless of the circumstances, they would fight. That was a promise.

 Ｘｅｍｎａｓ X "If light and darkness are eternal...
X Then surely we nothings must be the same.
X Eternal." X￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ Xemnas chuckled at everything that was taking place right before his very eyes. Everything was just so amusing to him! Unable to contain it, he burst out into a fit of maniacal laughter once again, holding his arms to his chest. When he calmed down, he looked down at Xaldin and Luxord and nodded. "Release the girl and get up here. There would be no point in killing those weaklings today. Let them rest and recuperate. Then when next we meet them, you are all free to go wild. Just don't get yourselves killed again, it would be such a waste."
Staring down at Roxas and Sora, Xemnas frowned and put a hand over his chest. "Roxas, I wish you would reconsider. It hurts me deep inside that you would refuse such a kind, generous offer." Turning his gaze upon Sora, Xemnas shrugged his shoulders a moment before turning to Roxas, who was looking at him with such disinterest that the leader of the Nobodies stopped pretending and just shrugged again. "Sora, you should know by now that we Nobodies cannot feel. The only exception is your Nobody, Roxas. He's the only one of us who actually feels anything. So think about your question for a moment if you will. If we cannot feel, how could we possibly feel angry at our defeat? You and your friends killed so many of us. Betrayal from within is what killed the others. Without hearts, without feelings, without even feeling remorse, it is only natural that fools such as Marluxia would arise within the ranks of my Organization and try to take over. But that's not what you wanted to know, now is it?"
Turning, Xemnas gave a small smirk at his pink-haired 'companion' before turning back to look at Sora. "Sora. We do not desire revenge. If you remember, I desire power and my fellow Nobodies desire to be whole again, to have the hearts they so desperately crave. You should also remember that we in the Organization are not entirely unreasonable. I know not what this Heartless' plans are for you and your ilk, but we will let you leave. Take this chance being offered to you and run. After all, we'll be needing you and your kind to help us create Kingdom Hearts once more." With a smirk, he waved his right arm and summoned some of his Sorcerers. "Unless of course you'd prefer to try and fight us here and now. It would be such a pity to have to kill you here Sora." Xemnas began to laugh again. The good guys would have no choice but to flee, lest they get crushed like the insects they are. ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ ￭ Ⅰ Superior of the In-Between

 Xaldin
Ⅲ The Whirlwind Lancer » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » Xaldin looked at Roxas, a rather perplexed look on his face as he did. What his former ally had said indeed rang true. When Xemnas gave the order, Xaldin removed his weapons and let the lovely, white-haired woman drop to the ground, her wounds bleeding terribly. Looking over at Luxord, the man with the insane sideburns sighed and nodded. "He's right. There's just no fun in picking on weaklings. Let's let them go for now." Turning to Sora, Xaldin shook his head and grinned. "While it's true you killed me Sora, Xemnas is right. I cannot feel, thus I cannot truly desire revenge. Though, I would love another chance at destroying you and your precious friends. You should warn that Beast that I'll be paying him another visit very soon." Xaldin laughed hard as he flew back up to where the other Organization members were.
Luxord sighed and nodded in response to Xemnas' orders. He was more disappointed that Johnny hadn't paid him any attention than he was about the order to withdraw and let the goodies leave. With a shrug, he slipped his cards away and opened another Dark Corridor, stepping through it to emerge seconds later with the rest of the Organization. Staring down at Sora, Luxord couldn't help but smirk. "Make sure your interesting friend gets the help he needs Sora. I would so hate to see him perish before I've had my fun." Laughing, Luxord returned to Demyx's side and watched to see what Sora and friends would do next. « « « « « « « « « « « « « « «  Quote: Xaldin & Luxord have withdrawn. An escape path has opened up once again!

 ₳xel ◢ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ Xemnas talked to Axel before the group of good guys came in. Axel still had his arm around Demyx's shoulders. He listened to Xemnas. Was Sora doing well? He shook the thought again. He had to stay with the Organization right now. There had to be a purpose for him here. Earning trust back would be hard, but...before he could give his reply his eyes noticed a group run in.
He removed his arm from Demyx's shoulders and watched the group as he twirled one of his chakrams. There was a red head that looked almost like him. He questioned who that man was. There was a short kid with pink hair, a girl with blond hair that was dressed in almost the same type of fashion as Sora, a girl with silver hair that was held by the red head, a guy with dark hair, and finally two figures he knew...Sora and Roxas. His eyes widened when he spotted Roxas. 'How was he back? I thought he merged with Sora again?' He thought. 'Roxas...' The man that brought them back must have brought back Roxas and Namine too. His eyes glanced over to Marluxia. Surely Marluxia would be happy to find out Namine was back. He shrugged his shoulders lightly and twirled his chakram more. He relaxed, happy that Roxas was back. He could not wait to go get some sea salt ice cream with him.
His thoughts were cut short when the silver haired girl charged the man named Akito. Xaldin quickly took action and pinned the girl to the wall with his lances. Everything was happening too fast. When she was pinned, the pink haired kid reacted and went to go attack Akito and the pink haired man that helped him before blocked the kid. The other chakram user wanted to fight that kid, but the pink haired man stopped him and brought him back to the group. It was starting to get intense. 'Roxas!' He thought. He did not want his friend to get hurt. He saw that he dismissed his two keyblades.
He sighed when Xaldin and Luxord returned. Sora and the others had yelled at them. Roxas refused Xemnas' offer. Some where inside of Axel, he was happy Roxas refused to rejoin the Organization. He watched as Xemnas summoned his nobodies. Axel grabbed his chakrams and walked over to the edge and jumped off. He needed to protect Roxas...he needed to get him out of here with his friends. He kept his distance away from the group, leaving plenty of space. His back faced the Organization and the Guild members. He twirled both chakrams around then grabbed them and looked at Roxas.
There was some silence before he spoke up. "Get out of here!!!!" A flame engulfed his chakrams as he yelled. He held out his chakrams. "We don't need you!!!!"
'Please stay safe Roxas....Please!!!'
"I don't need you!!!!" He yelled. A lie. To protect him and keep him away from the Organization. He was expecting shocked looks from the other Organization members.
'I need to keep you away from them. Please understand.' He thought. He used his energy to summon a giant ring of fire that ran around the group of Organization members, the Guild members, and himself.
"Go away!!!!"
'I'm glad to see that you're safe Roxas. You're the only one that makes me feel like I have a heart. I promise to talk with you later about this. I'll even treat you to some sea salt ice cream. Just like old times, huh? Please. Just stay safe!' He knew the Organization and Guild members could not see his face right now. The flames flickered bright. In between each wave of flame he watched Roxas. Axel's own eyes almost filled with sorrow with what he said. It had to be done. He wanted him to be safe. He closed his eyes and relaxed his arms by his side and spun his Eternal Flames chakrams. His expression changed to a calm one. Marly nodded at Xemnas. He would get to go back to his treasured castle. A grin spreed across his face. Who's mind would he mess with next? The group of good guys walked in and he noticed Sora and Roxas right away. If Roxas was here, Namine had to be some where. He would get her back. 'Sora.' He thought. 'Would love to mess with his memories again, but I don't think that would happen now. You know who I am. Hmmm. I wonder who that Akito guy has in mind. Namine. Where are you? He chuckled.
A fight broke out and he watched from where he stood. A girl and guy were wounded greatly. "Toying with them?" Marluxia gave a frustrated sigh when Xemnas mentioned him to Sora and the others. His plans were ruined but he did not want to be reminded of his failures. Sora stopped him. And he was so close to his goal at take over the Organization.
Axel was the next to take action on the group. He watched and listened to what Axel said. He was shocked. He looked at Roxas then at Axel. Weren't those two brats friends? What was going on? A stranger, to most of the group except the red head Reno, ran past them to Nix's side. He quickly picked her up and ran up to Reno and saw Johnny on the ground not to far from Reno. "Grab the other kid! We need to get them out of here." He ran past Reno. He would talk to Reno later about Reno leaving him alone in the town. He saw Colm bring the ship around and land. He boarded the ship with Nix. 'I turn my back for a second and Reno gets in trouble with a group of kids.' He did not know the situation well, but he would find out. What was important now was getting them out of here. He looked down at Nix. "We'll get you and your friends back to your base." ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ◣ VIII Flurry of Dancing Flames

Nix, Akito, and Colm 'It hurts... What was that?' Those thoughts ran through Nix's mind as she was pinned against the wall. It all happened so fast the only thing she could gather was that there was extreme pain in her wrist and ankles. As if she wasn't tired enough from what happened in the Borough now she was losing blood.. The only upside was that having the spears still lodged in her slowed down the blood flow. 'I hear yelling.. I can't make anything out. Their voices are muffled.. Maybe if I open my eyes I can see what's going on.' The girl slowly opened her eyes, only to be greeted with blurry vision. Even with the worsened vision she was able to see that someone had gotten badly hurt as well. 'Damn it all.. I can't move and I'm too tired to speak.. And it's getting cold.. Maybe I should re-' Suddenly the pain increased as she hit the floor. A pain filled yelp echoed through the air. Before she could try to move Nix could feel someone picking her up. 'It's warm again.. but still so cold.. This voice doesn't sound like the others.. and I can't tell where I am.' "H..He..Help.. them.." She whispered, knowing the others were in danger and she was powerless to help.. Maybe the new voices could help.
"Rude, you need to bandage her right away or she'll bleed to death before we even get her to safety. I'm going to get the others so we can get out of here! I know that damn voice anyway and those kids never stood a chance the moment he showed up." Colm said before rushing out of the Gummi Ship as fast as his legs could carry him. In a flash he was in the Bailey, seeing the wall of fire and injured Protega members. The man cursed under his breath as he ran closer to the group. He grabbed Sora by the shoulder to turn the brown headed teen to face him. "Calm down! That's the leader of the Guild you just threatened! He's no ordinary man.. He's a Heartless and he'll kill you before you even have a chance to summon your Keyblade. Get the others to the Gummi Ship now and if you try to stick behind I will personally kick your rear end out of here myself." He let go of Sora to pick up Johnny, turning to face the rest of the group. "You're Reno right? Herd these kids to the Gummi Ship and zap anyone who tries to come back here.." The now serious Colm turned to look at Akito and Xemnas. ".. We're leaving so you all get out of this world as well. The minute Sano catches wind of this you can bet he'll rush here to handle things personally." With that said he rushed off to carry Johnny to the ship to get treatment as well. "We got another one, Rude! I'm going to warm up the ship so we can get out of here the second everyone is accounted for."
Akito watched what happened with a dark grin on his face. It was always nice to watch Protega get swatted like the annoying flies that they were. Luckily for them he wanted to leave them alive to pass along what happened here. Also thanks to this little spat he learned a lot about some of the Protega members, it would fun testing their loyalty. Maybe he might even bring a few to his side, having a Keyblade in the side of Darkness would be useful.. Though seeing Colm put a damper on his fun. That gunslinger always showed up at the worst possible moment. His eyes narrowed down to a glare when the fool mentioned Sano. "Sano.. As much as I hate to admit but I would rather not confront him again. Xemnas, I will drop by your Castle of Naught once I wrap up some business on my end. We should all depart for now.. Virule, meet me in my office. Nik, head back to Headquarters. We're finished here." The Guild Leader opened a Dark Corridor and watched as the rest of Protega fled, heading to their Gummi Ship. ".. Until next time, Protega." Akito hissed as he vanished into the dark.
"Everyone here? Good because we're going now! Hold on tight!" Colm said as he launched the ship into the sky. It wouldn't be long until they were all returned to the Land of Departure, suffering from their first loss.. Quote: All Protega members have returned to the Land of Departure! Nix and Johnny are in critical condition and are in need of medical attention! All Guild members have been ordered to leave the Bailey! Virule must report to Akito's Office. Organization XIII members may return to their rooms or roam around their world.

 Virule Jon Herenheim "Before your worlds come to an end, all will feel my wrath." == == ☠ == == Reno's unspoken threat was received loud and clear. Virule looked forward to fighting with him again, perhaps even adding to the scar he last placed on Reno's muscled chest. When Reno stayed behind, simply glaring up at him again, Virule began to laugh hysterically. "You should go little man. Your friends won't last much longer if you choose to stay and fight me again. Besides, we all have places to be. Trust me, you'll get to see me again Reno. And I do look forward to removing a limb or two next time. Baldy saved you last time, but I promise I'll get you the next time. Now, farewell fool!" As Virule exited through a Dark Corridor, his laughter echoed throughout Radiant Garden, chilling people to their bones. == == ☠ == == Quote: Bracelet of Night & Day:Day: During the day, this bracelet increases Virule's magic power. Night: During the night, Virule's speed increases. He is able to attack faster, he can move faster, and with this increase in speed it also increases his ability to evade attacks and his spellcasting is hastened. Pain and Sorrow:Pain: 50% chance of dealing electrical damage Sorrow: 50% chance of inflicting poison on a target (How to determine if the effects take place: 1. Go to Post Action 2. Select Random Number. 3. Put 1 for the lowest and 4 for the highest. 4. Hit post and see what your number is. If it's 1 or 3 then the effects have succeeded.. If it's 2 or 4 then sadly it failed. ) Quote: Hearts swallowed by Fae: 39/50 Virule leaves the Bailey and returns to the World Without a Name to visit Akito in his office!

Note to me where my characters are. Quote: Nik left through a dark portal back to HQ. Axel and Marluxia left through a dark portal back to the World That Never Was. Rude has left with Reno and the other Protega members back to Land of Departure.
