Lab Angel: Hey everyone! This is the last chapter to What Happens Next, I tell you, what I have in mind for this is killer. Just you wait and see, it actually might be the second to last if I decide to stop it somewhere I think Cliff will be comfortable. So you'll just have to wait and see what I do, if I do continue this will be the longest story I have ever written. Oh yeah! I just remembered something that my little muse had originally put in my mind -plays the theme song from Queer As Folk for some odd reason- there will be hints of a Riku Sora pairing! -laughs happily-
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, the only thing I own in this story is Gaby (who isn't really mine, she's Shu chan's, but oh well) and Angel a.k.a Kyra... whichever you want to call her by. The plot is mine as well, but characters, places and events all belong to Square Enix... Square Soft... I don't know, and DISNEY! Of course.
Chapter Four: In The End
T-T Gaby T-T
I stood staring at woman, no older than myself. Aqua hair just below her waist, skin that would put the moon to shame and sea-green eyes that held too many secrets. I looked at her, she stood as calm as a river, even with the four of us poised to attack. I stepped forward, Cloud matching my step, making sure the woman didn't try anything that would harm us. She didn't look like she was dangerous, but that's what I thought about Angel before I saw how she fired her arrows, I was proved wrong then, I knew I was wrong now. She looked up at us and smiled, she actually smiled at us, I stepped back a little uncertain. Riku had confirmed that the black coat was the symbol of the Organization, making all of us extra cautious.
"Who are you and what do you want here?" I asked feeling Cloud at my back making me feel better.
"I am Iliana, I am here to destroy the four of you." She smiled as she said it, but there was something that flashed in those emerald eyes of hers, for a moment it looked like pain. I shook my head, big mistake, she had disappeared and by the way the guys were looking around they had no clue where she was either, we found out a moment later when an arrow found a home in Sephiroth's leg. Riku knelt down breaking the arrow in half and pulled it out of the older man's leg, standing back up Riku looked around and threw the arrowhead past me. I heard a gasp and turned around to look at Iliana, the arrowhead just missed her by an inch, she held her bow towards us and fired again.
"Who are you really?" I heard Sephiroth ask from where he had ducked behind a pillar, I looked at him from behind my own pillar that was parallel, he had that look. I didn't know what he was talking about, meaning if I didn't than Iliana would be dead confused, if a Nobody could get confused.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I am Iliana, the newest member of Organization XIII."
"Who's number did Xemnas give you? Axel's or Roxas'?" I shouted sneaking around the other side of the pillar to get closer to her, I saw an arrow go past where my head would've been if I had made it all the way around the pillar.
"Saïx's if it means anything to you, don't try to attack me, I know where all four of you are going to be before you even get there." I heard a low hiss, for a moment was confused as to what it was, then I felt my 'best friends' pendant burning around my neck. I yanked on the chain and looked at it, Angel had had them made, they were sterling silver with little intricate designs that meant we would stay friends no matter what.
'That's how she knows where we're at, she's Angel's nobody.' I looked at Sephiroth who was giving me a curious look, he knew what the pendant was, he'd seen Angel's half on several occasions when Angel would wear it out in the open instead of under her shirt. He gave a short nod, pulling the winged heart Angel had given him out of his coat pocket, he turned to Riku who stood beside him a look of confusion gracing his beautiful features, -1- I saw Sephiroth whisper something to the silver haired teen then a nod of understanding.
"Why do you have Saïx's number?" I asked trying to keep her preoccupied while Riku removed his keyblade and arrow, putting it down on the floor he made his way to where Cloud had hidden to relay the message to remove the pendant. I looked at Cloud who was staring at me like I was crazy, I mouthed to him to remove the pendant, he pulled it out from under his shirt, the heart in the clouds twinkled in the little bit of light it was catching from the high windows.
"I wouldn't know why Xemnas gave me my number, but it doesn't really matter now... Does it?" I moved to the other side of the pillar, keeping my half heart with me, trying to draw her closer to me. I felt her presence drawing closer and smiled, I don't think she knew that the others had taken their pendants off and were now moving in from behind her. "You might as well give up, I mean there's nothing left for you to fight for."
"That's a lie." I heard Riku's voice from somewhere near the doors and smiled. "We live because Sora, Leon, Axel and Angel can't live the lives they had been destined for." I didn't know what Riku was planning, but I didn't like where the conversation was headed; knowing Riku the way I did, he was going to attack. I rushed Iliana, trying to distract her, it happened too fast. Before I realized what had happened, I hit the ground as a red flower bloomed on my stomach.
-Before the battle between Gaby and Iliana-
T-T Kyra T-T
I don't know what's wrong with me, I felt so weird, I opened my eyes to see a smirking Xemnas and growled at him. When he was unfased, I realized that I only growled, there was no anger or frustration in my heart. Putting a hand to my chest, I felt nothing, no heartbeat; -2- gasping I looked up at Xemnas who nodded at me, I had been turned into a Nobody, probably because I had nearly beaten the head of Organization XIII. I didn't know what to do, I was suddenly more aware of my surroundings, they had put me back in the Blood room. There was an odd sense of hatred around me, I didn't know what to do about it, something that I remembered so well; in the end however it didn't matter that I knew how to feel, I just couldn't feel anymore.
"Why do you think we've turned you into a Nobody?" I glared at Xemnas again, trying to think of a way out of this.
"I don't know, probably because you're a cold heartless bastard." -3- I sigh as I realize there's no escape for me, I have to suffer this bastard, whether I want to or not. "What do you want from me now Xemnas? Axel and Roxas are both gone, so why would you possibly want me to stick around?" I looked up into his eyes and again saw something I'd rather not have seen, the same look Saïx had given me, I was in for a world of hurt. Or worse. I sighed and thought about my options, none of which were good enough to consider. "What do you want from me Xemnas?" I looked down at the comforter covering my legs, it was about then that I realized I was wearing the traditional Organization leather coat, I thought on it for a moment and blinked. "Where are my clothes?" I asked looking back up at Xemnas who motioned to the blonde woman by the door.
"I changed you into what Xemnas wanted you to wear and threw your clothes away, there was nothing you needed in them except these." She held up the two medallions that I had removed and put in the pocket of my jeans, which were now in the trash. I reached out for the medallions, ignoring how pale my skin had gotten, the blonde woman dropped the two medallions on the floor as though they had burned her; looking at her hand, I realized, they had burned her, at least one of them did. I got out of the bed, noticing the short leather skirt that lay under the coat, -4- grabbing the medallions I clutched them to me; the only real things in this world of fakes.
"Angel or would you rather be called Kyra?" I looked at Xemnas who gave a hollow smile.
"I'd rather you call me something other than the names I used to go by." I stood up and put the two medallions on, staring at the first Nobody. "Call me whatever you want, just don't call me Angel or Kyra."
"Then how about calling you mine." He gave a small smirk and I glared, but didn't oppose to that. "You aren't bothered that I would have you for my own?" I shook my head, causing my now aqua hair fall over my eyes, I heard him chuckle and looked through the curtain of my hair. "Your new name... is Iliana." I pushed my hair from my eyes and looked at him, not with hatred or anything, just stared at him.
"Iliana?" I stood for a moment, letting the name settle in my mind. "Iliana it is than." I smiled and gave a short nod. "What is it you want me to do, my lord?" -5- I asked giving a small bow, Xemnas smiled and gave me my first mission. I was slightly taken aback by what he had told me, but I didn't object, I was more than ready to destroy the man who Xemnas knew loyal to him. Why he would want the man killed was beyond me, but I had a promise to fulfill to the bastard, I walked down the hall and smiled as I came up to the door to Saïx's room. I knocked lightly and waited, the door pulled open and the cat-like man looked me up and down. I merely smiled a small, seductive smile, making him think I was there for semi-pure intentions, dragging my sharpened nails along his chest. -6- I removed the leather coat and lay it on the back of a chair before moving over to sit on the bed, the long slash in my skirt meant for flexibility was pushed aside so I showed a generous amount of upper thigh. He stared at me for a moment before coming to the bed, leaning over me, forcing me to lay back with him ontop of me; I made my face a mask of lust, wasn't really hard to do now without emotions, he bowed his head down to kiss at my collar bone. I reached up so my arms were around his neck, making it seem I was willing, before summoning my bow and turning it so the string was against his neck. He looked at me before I pulled the bow down the rest of the way, a look of utter shock on his now severed head, I was showered with his blood -7- and wasn't bothered in the least by it all.
"Well done," I heard the faint clapping of leather encased hands, I pushed the dead-weight of Saïx's body off of me and sighed. "I have to say you look really tempting, drenched in blood." He came to stand over me as I sat on the bed, the blood staining my aqua hair a really ugly reddish-brown, I felt his hands go through my hair pushing some of the blood out, making it look more like dirty water.
"Just shut up and kiss me already." I growled before I grabbed the back of his head and crushed his lips to mine, I fell back pulling him with me, so he was laying on top of me. I felt the slit in the skirt being pushed up higher, my little mewls of pleasure encouraged Xemnas to go further. -8-
T-T Riku T-T
I had been trying to attack Iliana so that she would kill me so I could be with Sora, it was strange how some people thought me and Angel were together. That was a little ridiculous to me, she was like a big sister I would never think of her like that. Now, facing Iliana, it was like Angel had never been there. That had been my reason for taunting her, hoping I could draw out the woman I called sister when no one was looking. -9- It worked then, Gaby had gotten in the way, I saw the arrow sticking out of her chest, I heard a shout of surprise then saw Cloud running for the aqua haired woman. I followed suit, Sephiroth right behind me, he pushed Cloud towards Gaby's body and attacked; his sword slashing through the air, cutting straight down Iliana's coat, which opened and revealed the strapless shirt and long skirt underneath. She glared at Sephiroth then cast away what remained of her coat, we had a moment to see the pendant that she wore, the half heart with the word "FRIENDS" carved with intricate symbols.
"Why would you still have that necklace if you weren't Angel?" Sephiroth asked keeping her in his sight, while making sure Cloud got Gaby out, once they were out of harm's way he turned full attention to Iliana.
"I don't know, it's just something that proves I, at one time or another, had a heart." She touched the pendant delicately as though she were afraid it would burn her, the strange thing, it did; she jerked her hand away from her throat and glared at the girl who had been healed.
T-T Gaby T-T
"Guys... I think I have an idea..." I muttered, I used the special path through all the minds that Angel had opened up for us to each other, making sure to bypass Angel herself. 'Try to get this pendant around her neck, maybe if she has the other half of her heart she'll go back to normal.' I tried to explain as best I could, they all seemed to know what I was talking about because they all nodded, Sephiroth held his hand out to the aqua haired woman casting stop on her. It didn't hold for as long as he would've liked it to, when the spell broke a few seconds later she sent arrows flying everywhere. The attack I knew so well, Thousand Arrows, the attack she had showed me to prove she was as deadly as she was beautiful, I didn't hesitate one second as I cast Reflega. I felt the pendant taken from me then saw Sephiroth race towards her, he threw Mesamune, her attention was on the sword so she hadn't noticed he kept going at her.
"You must think me a fool!" She said disappearing again, I growled in frustration and sighed admitting defeat.
"Guys there will be no way for us to beat her, she knows all of our atta-" Riku looked at me as I trailed off. "She knows ours just like we know hers... I know hers at least, any of you guys?" I looked at them holding an invisible shield up over us, I saw Sephiroth nod and knew he would know her every move. "What about you Riku? You are her 'little brother.'" I smile at the nickname she had given him when he was annoying her to no end, he nodded with a reminescent smile, remembering that just as well. I felt the attack to the shield as though the arrows were physically hitting me, I gasped out as one of the arrows stabbed through the flesh of my leg I dropped the shield, exposing the other three to the attack. I was grabbed around the waist and completely shrouded in darkness, looking around I saw Axel, Roxas, Sora and Leon. I blinked a couple of times to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I smiled and nodded, I knew what they wanted me to do. Angel's body was probably at the Castle of Oblivion -10-, they wanted us to destroy the Nobody so Angel's Nobody would reunite with her -11-
"Hey, tell Angel... I'm sorry I couldn't make her as happy as Sephiroth had." Leon smiled, the first smile I'd really ever seen grace his features.
"Let Riku know I don't blame him for what happened to me, let him know that I will still love him." I hugged Sora for the last time.
"It was great meeting you, even though I knew who you were all along." Roxas smiled and kissed me on the cheek, I blushed so hard I was nearly as red as Axel's hair. -12-
"Hey tell Kyra... Angel... Whatever her name is, that she doesn't need to change or pretend that she doesn't care, because we all know her well enough to know she does care." Axel smiled and gave me one last hug. "Give her a hug for me, tell her I- tell her Axel says he's sorry." I was forced back into the light, without even thinking about it I turned and lunged my sword into Iliana's chest, where her heart would've been, she smiled at me with a nod.
Lab Angel: I think Cliff is going to be comfortable here, for now anyway.
1: Couldn't resist! I love Riku!
2: As far as I know, having no heart means no heartbeat.
3: Truth speaks for itself through Angel!
4: I like the thought of leather skirts.
5: Couldn't resist again, I can't help it, I love silver haired guys!
6: Stick with me people, she's been turned into something entirely different!
7: So I'm a sadist... No BD
8: Maybe I've mentioned I'm not a fan of het, just yuri and yaoi.
9: On my trip to Australia, there was this boy who me and another girl were always together, we were supposed to be in groups of three or four. It was always the three of us, even on the coach, I adopted him as my brother and her as my sister. Anyway I always called him little brother, when it was just the two of us waiting for little sister he would call me big sister. I loved it! Of course I would, me being the youngest in the family... -sigh- oh well.
10: A friend informed me it's Oblivion not Naught... lol.
11: I don't really know how that works so I'm just guessing.
12: That's pretty damn red! lol
