Aqua took the first step into the next hall of Castle Oblivion, it being the same as the first with only a small differnece. Lightning and Hope where behind her coming out of Hanging edge, a memory of their past, the place in there had her amazed as she had never seen a world like it before. But she had one thing on her mind and that was him. Ventus, her old friend who she but in the hidden chamber of the castle to keep him safe, she wonderd if he was okay with all the heartless about.
"Aqua dont go to far ahead !" Lightning shouted to her as they entered the hall.
"What are you worried about ?" Aqua asked.
"Those Heartless things mostly"
"Why are you worried about them ? We can beat them easy !" Hope said to her.
"Yeah, but..."
"You've killed PSICOM soldiers who were tougher than them"
"And from what ive seen, thats saying somthing" Aqua added.
"Right" Lightning snorted and laughed the others joined in just a few seconds after.
"Well what do we do now ?" Hope asked Aqua " We dont have another of those cards Marluxia gave us."
"Hmm, i dont know. Maybe we should just leave this hall first, we might not need another one." Aqua replied. She had begone to trust Lightning and Hope, like her old friends Micky, Terra and Ventus. She just hoped nothing like their fates would happen to her new friends. Still it didnt seem likley, every so far had been easy and didnt seem like anything bad would happen. And maybe if she was lucky, she would see her friend again.
"Lightning ! Aqua !" She heard Hope shout and they lookedto see a CoD a few feet away from them. A girl about 19 walked out of it. She had blonde hair with antennae-like strands. Like all members of the organization she wore a black coat.
"Your with Marluxia arent you ?" Lightning asked keeping her hand near her Blazefire.
"Too clever, im Larxene. You enjoying your stay at castle oblivion ?" She asked.
"What are you talking about ?" Aqua asked.
"Ah yes, the keyblade bearer that came from here. How does it feel to be home ?"
"It would be a lot better, if none of you were around !" Aqua replied with anger in her voice. Larxene just laughed at this.
"And you" She said to Lightning now."Your sister was asking about you"
"Serah ? She's here ?" Lightning replied drawing her Blazefire.
"Yes she is. But she was so annoying that i had to shut her up."
"You what !" Lightning shouted at her. Larxene just giggled and electric went all over her, in both of her hands 4 small knifes appered. Apon seeing this Aqua summoned her Keyblade and Hope pulled out his boomarang.
"Does it hurt knowing the truth ?" Larxene asked and rushed straight at Lightning, she kicked her in the stomack knocking her back. She then turned to Aqua and Hope and threw her knifes at them. They both quickly dodged them both and the knifes returned to Larxene."I hope you can put i a better fight than that" She said and appeard behind Aqua, she slashed her three times, knocking her forward.
Aqua turned round and hit in the chest and jumped up in the air slashing down on her. Larxene blocked this and jumped back with a grin on her face. " Lightning !" She shouted and volts of electity hit the blue haired girl. It didnt hurt her much though as she charged back at Larxene. The two tried to attack each other put kept on blocking each other. Lightning had now got up and ran at Larxene cutting her through the stomack.
"Just returing the favaor"Lightning said coldly. Larxene got up and put her hand up.
"Cure!" She shouted and a green flower appeard above her. Green stuff came down and healed her. "Now lets see if this is intresting" She then rushed at them both from differnt sides attacking them and jumped up in the air. Electric flowed through both of her hands and she held the both togther. 6 Lightning blots struck both of the girls, knocking them back aganist the wall. She then walked over to Hope who was ready to fight."You dont think you can win do ya ?" She asked.
"I know i can !" He replied to the her. Larxene just laughed at him.
"Fine then. Im gonna break you !"The Savage Nymph attacked him from all differnt sides and threw him up into the air, she jumped above him and brought Lightning bolts down on him. He hit the ground and looked up to her. She stood the giggling and a clone of her appeard besides her. They threw Hope up again and repatably shocked him. Hope hit the ground again, now in emense pain. The clone returned into Larxene."I should of known you would all be useless." She said and went to finish Hope off.
Before Larxene could, Lightning ran at her and cut through her again, she then kicked her back. The savage nymph preaperd a Lightning attack when Aqua used a shotlock on her. Bubbles and water hit her and Larxene's lightning stuck herself. Aqua and Lightning went to finish her when she opnend a CoD."So this was worth it. Here's your reward. Ta-ta" She snorted and droped card before running into it.
"Hope are you okay !" Aqua asked helping him up. She cast cure on him.
"Yeah...thanks." He replied.
"That damn bitch !" Lightning cursed, putting her Blazefire away. She walked over and picked up the card."Looks like we can use this. Hope are you sure your okay ?" She asked and walked over to them both.
"Yes. But who are they ? What do they want with us ?"
"I dont know. Marluxia clamis to be the lord of the castle, so he's probably in charge. If we find him, we make him talk. Lets just move for now." She said and helped Hope over.
Larxene walked into the base room from the CoD, to see Axel and Marluxia in there. She walked over to the coach and dropped down on it, her head landing on a cushion."So Larly, how did you fight go ?" Axel asked her, he was leaning aganist the wall as normal.
"Good, i almost took out that little silver haired brat." She replied, looking up at the ceiling.
"But you didnt"
"That blue haired bitch almost fried me with her water spells. Im not gonna get killed by a bunch of losers"
"I thought you were the most sadistic out of us all ?"
"Shut up"
"Anyway now what then ?" Axel asked Marluxia. He had a grin on his face.
"We leave this to our youngest member" He replied "The cloaked schemer"
"I'll go take care of the other guests. You two have a nice time" Axel said and left by CoD.
As Lightning, Hope and Aqua enterd into the next memory, Lightning couldnt shake the feeling that they were being watched. By somthing familiar that had been watching before. At first she dissmissed it and went to walk through the door when she heard a clanging sound behind her. She turned to see the armour wearing man from before walking towards her. She quickly pulled out her Blazefire and aimed it at him.
"Who are you ?" She demanded and took a step closer.
"Shouldnt you know ?" The amoured figure responded with a deep voice.
"Never seen you before." She replied, changing from blade mode to gun mode.
"This is from your memories. Well then lets see what it can do." The armoured man said and charged at her, with his large blade in the right hand. When he got close to her he slashed at her from the right. Lightning predicted this and jumped back to the wall, she then jumped back at him shooting. He moved his large sword around blocking all the bullets from hitting him and went to attack her again.
Lightning landed on his sword and jumped off it, shooting him in the back. He fell forward but just laughed it off, he turned round to see Lightning turing her weapon back to blade mode. He droped his sword down and walked towards her."Well this idea was bad" He said his voice changed to a more younger, softer one. Darkness went around the armour and it faded away. In its place was teenager about Hope's age, but just a little older. He had steel-blue hair and wore a black coat just like the others. "I hope you enjoyed our little test" he said.
"What ?" Lightning asked the boy.
"This was just a test, both me and Larxene."
"You call all of this a test ? Trying to kill us ?"
"If we wanted you dead, you would be by now. Take this." He said and threw a card at her. "It will give you any magic you used in your past back. Enjoy." He snorted and opened a CoD.
"Who are you ? All of you ?"
"You'll learn soon enough. But I would keep my card up, if you dont want to end up like that moron Snow" He said to her evily and walked into the CoD. diserpearing.
"Snow..." Lightning said to herself and wonderd what he ment. Sure they didnt get along good but they were going to be family soon.
A few minutes later...
A CoD opened in the base room and Zexion walked out of it. Marluxia, Larxene, Namine and Serah were all in there but not Axel. Marluxia was the first to notice him and walked over to him, he held his rose in his left hand. "So Zexion how did it go ?" He asked, Zexion went to answer Larxene said somthing first.
"Not as good as I did by the look of it" She said.
"Well, dont as good as i intened. That illusion was useless." He replied to them both.
"How so ?" Marluxia asked.
"She didnt remeber anything about it. Fightning as it was weak, i need to use a stronger one."
"Or maybe your not just good at fightning" Larxene said.
"Your hardly did good yourself"
"But better than you. I almost killed that littler brat, Zexy" Larxene giggled when she called him this.
"Please dont call me that" Zexion replied to her.
"Why ? I think it sounds good."
"Yeah, but-"
"And it sums you up." She said and smiled at him. He didnt know what to say back.
"Enough. I dont see why any of you act like you have emotions. All they do is make your heart weak ? Have you foorgoten what happened when you had one ?" Marluxia said to her with an evil tone.
"No" She replied and openend a CoD."Im going" She went to walk into it when Marluxia said somthing to her.
"..." Marluxia just watched as Larxene close the CoD. "Anyway Zexion i want you use this." Marluxia said and handed him a card."A memory from the younger girl. Namine said it has the most power"
"Is that all you require ?"
"If they survive give them this. It take them to the boy's home" The graceful assassin responded and gave him another card. "I trust you know what to do"
Lightning walked through the door into the next world. Hope and Aqua had already enterd and had not seen Lightning's battle with Zexion. She looked around when she enterd, it was night and the sky was filled with stars. A castle could be seen in the distance, it looked as if they were on top of a peek or cliff. A waterfall was near by aswell, Hope came over to Lightning when she walked through"Light waht happend ?" He asked her.
"Yeah i just-nothing. Where's Aqua ?" She replied to him and saw Aqua.
"I think somthing's wrong with her"
"I'll go see" She walked over to wear Aqua was standing and noticed that she was looking up to the sky."Are you okay ?" She asked.
"Its just..."
"What ?"
"This... my home..." Aqua said softly to them both. "Where i spent my last night togther with them" She went to hold somthing around her neck but remeberd that she didnt have it.
Terra...
Ven...
Sorry its been a long time since i updated. Yeah, I know Zexion is loyal to the Organization, but i think he would have been better working with Marluxia.
Garland is just a cameo since Lightning fights him in Dissidia 012. And i wanted to use Zexion more.
