Now for thus chapter; the traitors return to the castle and our organization Trio (yes trio to any Akuroku readers) fights Sora. Please review.
Chapter 4: The traitors' attack
Day 255
Roxas sat at the clock tower looking at the sunset when Axel appeared.
"You're early." said Axel.
"No, you're just late." replied Roxas.
Axel sat next to Roxas as usual as they ate their ice cream. Roxas then said, "Today makes 255."
"Why bring that up?" asked Axel.
"It's been that many days since I first joined the organization."
"So, still got the number memorized."
"Yeah have to hold on to something right? It's like I don't have memories before the organization. You remember how I was on the first week, I was like a zombie."
Axel placed a hand on Roxas' shoulders. "Yeah, that first week you could barely form a sentence. But Come on, you're still kind of a zombie."
"Oh thanks!" Roxas said sarcastically. The two boys laughed on. The two look onwards as Axel said, "Hey Roxas, betcha don't know why the sun sets red? You see, light is made of lots of colors and all of those colors, red is the one that travels the farthest."
Roxas laughed. "Like I asked know it all." Roxas said, hitting him back. A few minutes later, Roxas stared at the ground as Axel relaxed his spiky head on the clock tower's roof as Roxas asked, "Seriously, anything yet?"
On cue, Xion appeared on the clock tower. When she spoke, it was a quiet tone. "It's time."
"Now, they're coming now?" asked Roxas.
"Yes, we need to head back to the castle now."
Roxas and Axel nodded and after opening a corridor of darkness, they returned to the castle. In the Grey area, the other members (minus Xemnas) were waiting for them. Xigbar was playing cards with Xaldin and Luxord while Demyx played on his sitar. For the first time, Roxas felt confident about all this. Saix then walked up to them.
"You know what your job is, just stop them at all cost." Saix said to them.
"Right." the trio said at once.
"This will be interesting, let's see how they handle poppet and tiger." said Xigbar as Roxas, Axel, and Xion walk from the Grey Area.
During their way to the bridge—
Roxas decided to Ask Axel about the Marluxia's and Larxene's pawn.
"Hey Axel, tells us more about this project they have, is he strong?" Roxas asked.
Axel pondered about it. "I did fight him before but that was a long time ago, but he has a keyblade same as you two."
"So he wields the keyblade, I guess Marluxia and Larxene really thought long and hard about who to send to help overthrow the Organization. But Roxas, Axel, can we really beat him here?" Xion asked in a concern voice.
Axel sighed, rubbing the back of his red spiky hair. "Don't know, but we have to try. Saix and Xemnas actually trust us to at least handle them." Axel replied as they made it to the bridge connecting the dark city to the floating castle. Roxas, Xion, and Axel could hear the sounds of footsteps on the clear blue bridge.
Several unknown people were walking in up the bridge to the castle as they came in contact with the trio. Axel said in a calm tone, "Well, well, you've return, Marluxia, Larxene."
The front two removed their hoods to reveal to be Marluxia and Larxene. Larxene then laughed. "Oh look Marluxia, he's brought the two other keyblade wielders. This will be a great test of our puppet."
Marluxia folded his arms. "Yes, let's see of these two can handle the real thing."
Roxas held out his hand and summoned his keyblade, Xion did so as well. Axel took out his Chakrams. "We can handle what you throw at us." said Roxas.
Marluxia smirked as he snapped his fingers. Appearing behind the captive Lexeaus, Zexion, Vexen, and Riku Replica was an unknown person wearing a white cloak. The hooded unknown removed his hood to reveal someone shocking to all three: Sora. Sora's expression wasn't the same cheerful Sora, it was dark and his eyes were blank. Roxas and Xion could feel the hairs of the back of their necks stand on ends as they looked at him Marluxia says, "Sora, these three and their organization are holding Namine against her will, defeat them."
"Yes Master Marluxia." He said tonelessly and summons his keyblade. Roxas, Axel, and Xion ready themselves for battle.
Boss Battle: Sora
Boss Music: Thirteenth Reflection
The Battle began with Sora going straight after Roxas. The two boys locked blades as Roxas tried to push him back. Axe then cast Fire at Sora as Xion casted Blizzard. The magic spells collided with a blast as Sora was blinded by the smoke. Sora looked around the area, but couldn't see them. Then a cry of an attack from the smoke was caked out,
"Wind!"
Sora was caught by Aero as Axel jumped into the wind, throwing his flame covered Chakrams at him. Sora's cloak was in burned in places but he didn't care. Sora's keyblade began to be coated with ice as he tossed it at Axel. Axel's entire being was frozen in ice as Sora's keyblade came through the ice, shattering the ice and knocking Axel out. Roxas and Xion gasped as they ran to save him. Sora's keyblade was coated with fire as he casted Mega Flare all over as the keyblade duo was engulfed by the flames. When the flames cleared, Xion was knocked to the floor as Roxas kneeled in pain. Sora spoke again, his once cheerful tone still dark.
"I'll spare your life if you give me Namine now. What's your choose?"
Roxas looked up to Sora, his blue eyes flashed with bravery. Roxas walked up to Xion and picked up her keyblade. Roxas twirled the two kingdom keys as they changed into both the Oathkeeper and Oblivion; two keyblades that belonged to Sora. Sora paid no mind to the two blades as Roxas held them at the ready.
"Sorry pal, but I will not let you hurt my friends." said Roxas as he casted curaga upon himself. His injuries were gone in a flash as he ran at Sora swinging the keyblades. Sora fought back blow by blow, both keybladers trying to knock the other back. Roxas kept his thoughts on protecting Axel, Namine, and Xion that in an instance, Roxas' keyblades glowed. Roxas shouted out, "Give me strength!"
Out of nowhere, pillars of light appeared and hit Sora all around. Sora was then hit by one large light pillar that sent him back. Sora grunted as he ran at Roxas again, swinging his keyblade more violently but Roxas attacked him head-on. The two boys connected, creating a shock wave that even caused the traitorous members to topple. Roxas was sent crashing into the ground, completely unconscious. Xion's keyblade returned to her side as the Oathkeeper returned back to the Kingdom Key. Sora stood up and looks to Marluxia, "That takes care of them, what now?"
Marluxia smiled and said, "We pay a visit to my former leader."
In the place where nothing gathers, Xemnas sat patiently in his throne when Marluxia, Larxene, Sora, and the captive C.O team came in via a Corridor of Darkness. Xemnas didn't flinch.
"Marluxia, you've return. And see you've brought back the others. So what pray tell you'll acquire by de-throne me?" he said in his emotionless tone.
"A deal, Xemnas." said Marluxia, bring Sora into view. "You want Kingdom Hearts and you want Sora to collect more hearts and you want Sora's power; it's that why you recruited Roxas and made Xion. The deal is: we give you Sora for our part in the new world, is that clear?"
The superior thought about it and said, "I will accept your offer, Marluxia."
Sora wasn't listening to any of the conversation, he only thought of Namine and only her. Xemnas corridor down to Marluxia and shook his hands. Larxene smiled, "Well, I knew you'll see our way, Xemnas."
In Roxas' room—
Roxas opened his eyes to find himself back in his room. He looks to see both Xigbar and Demyx watching him.
"Well, you live. Don't worry; Poppet and Axel are okay as well. We healed your wounds, but there wasn't any need, seeing as they weren't severe." said Xigbar.
"What happened to Marluxia and Larxene? And the others with them?" he asked, felling groggily.
"They pull the others and that boy with them in their rooms to recover as well. And Namine's safe in her room, so everything's fine." said Demyx, explaining the details ever well.
"It's kinda strange for Xemnas to let them off so easy. He must be planning something." said Xigbar.
"What about that boy?" Roxas asked Xigbar.
"He'll be working with us for here on out. If we're to get hearts, we need all the man power. Starting tomorrow, you get back to work." Xigbar replied.
Roxas nodded as the two members left his room. Roxas led on his pillow, thinking about the boy who attacked them. Then it hit him: the boy in red and the boy are one and the same. What was his name again?
Meanwhile in a world—
Ventus was looking through a rose garden maze and sighed. "No Terra and Aqua. I've been looking for days and I can't give up now."
Ventus activated his armor and Keyblade Glider and left the world, Wonderland.
-In the lanes between—
Ventus rode his board like Glider thought the lane as he was deep in thought.
"I don't know how long I've been away but I search around about ten worlds since I left that castle. I wished I ask Lea and Namine more. *sigh*, it's just up to me for now."
Ven continued straight ahead, his search for his friends still on his mind.
Michael: And that ends Chapter 4. Boring I know, but I want to get to their escape from the organization over and done. I plan for 3,000 words, that's the plan. Next Chapter: Roxas and Xion learn the truth about them and leave the castle with Namine. Will Riku save them, will Kairi see her friends again, and will RXN have hearts of their very own. You'll see. Oh and I have another project I'm planning. When Sonic Colors comes out, I plan to do a KH version of it, starring Ven and Kairi as Sonic and Tails, so be sure to see it in a month after the release. Please review.
