Chapter 7: Assault on Zenebatos
It was a month ago that Xaldin killed a player. SOLDIER and the Lunar Knights did a joint investigation. The player was strong and useful. He wasn't a PKer so the kill made no sense.
Sephiroth and Riku confronted Xemnas personally. Riku came and told me after the meeting what was wrong. Xemnas wants Zenebatos. Our guild is the castle in the center of this city. Riku says Xemnas believes that he should have a castle. They don't have a main base yet. As far as we know anyway.
Organization XIII is a popular guild but it only has the 13 members. Anyone that works with them is just a follower.
Anyway Xemnas demanded Riku hand over Zenebatos to him. Obviously he refused. After that Xemnas declared war on the city. Normally this threat would be meaningless but because of Demyx and the Siren class that follows him, they can command any number of monsters.
It is believed that Organization XIII has been collecting duel crystals. If they use enough they can cover the entire city. Anyone in the city will be in danger.
There is going to be a joint meeting between the heads of the Lunar Knights and SOLDIER. So I will be there. I was on my way there now. We were meeting on Level 70, It has been named Midgar and that is where SOLDIER has made its permanent headquarters.
By the way we have managed to unlock the levels all the way to 74. The game is almost beaten. Once the boss there is beaten we can get to 75. I was walking up the palace stairs now. Riku was waiting for me.
He had a sad look on his face. When I got to the top he gave me a hug. "What's wrong Riku?" He shook his head. "Nothing, I just worry about everyone you know. I can't let anything happen to them."
Riku cared about all the players. He has been trying so hard to beat this game. We still don't know who the hacker is.
"Come on Riku, we got to get in there. We have to take care of this Xemnas business." Riku nodded and we went inside. I followed Riku to the conference room and we took a seat. It was me, Riku, Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack. There were also other guild leaders here. Sephiroth greeted us and thanked us for coming quickly.
"We have a serious threat. Xemnas has threatened the complete annihilation of Zenebatos. There are about 2000 players who live in the city according to Riku. What do we do? I recommend destroying the leadership of Organization XIII." I immediately slammed my fists on the conference table.
"NO! My brother is a part of them! He may be part of a bad group right now but if you attack him you will have to go through me!" Riku pulled me back down into the seat.
Sephiroth frowned at me. "Control yourself Sora. Only the initial 6 members are considered leadership. I am open to other idea's if you have any."
Cloud spoke up. " I recommend evacuating the city to one of the lower cities. There send SOLDIER members to protect them. Meanwhile, the Lunar Knights and Higher up of SOLDIER fight the army Xemnas has promised."
Sephiroth nodded and agreed with his idea. It did seems to be a good way to ensure life. "Any other ideas?" No one said anything. "Alright, let's get to Zenebatos and get the evacuation underway."
We made our way to the main gate but were stopped by one of the SOLDIER members named Genesis. He was friends with Sephiroth. "Seph, Zenebatos is under attack! Monsters are entering the city. I began evacuating people but we have already lost one of the districts." Sephiroth cursed under his breath. "Alright, let's go now."
We teleported to Zenebatos and as Genesis said there were monsters in the city. We separated and began our attempt to save the city. I equipped the Emerald Amulet so I could have the new skills.
I didn't want to be separate from Riku but we had to cover as much of the city as possible. I think there is a few hundred of us fighting but there is thousands of these monsters!
I ran through the streets killing monster after monster. As I continued through the city I came upon the city center. A black portal opened and out came one of the Organization XIII members. It was Demyx. He gave a light wave.
Riku ran up behind me. I guess he cleared his area or he was worried about me. Probably the latter. Demyx smiled. "You guys are looking lively. I don't suppose you want to just surrender." I shook my head.
"Why are you doing this? You're killing innocent people!" Demyx put his hand up and wagged his index finger. "That wasn't my idea. Xemnas wants that. The only reason I listen to him is because Zexy rejoined."
Riku laughed. "How pathetic you are. You rejoined a group of psychos because you love Zexion?" Demyx growled. "You should never judge someone on appearances alone."
"Fight us then Demyx and prove how strong you are." He laughed and his sitar was summoned into his hand.
Water pooled in front of us and Demyx yelled out. "Dance water dance!" 100 clones appeared and came at us. We fought back and attacked the clones.
It was just a distraction though. Demyx strummed a note and water shot from the ground and knocked us into the air. "You like it!" Demyx played a quick melody and lighting struck us.
We fell to the ground. I stood up and quickly used a healing spell to heal us. Demyx frowned. "Damn Diviners." He played another tune and wind knocked us backwards.
Riku growled and ran towards Demyx. "Ragnarok!" He moved in a flash and slashed through Demyx several times before finishing with the energy blasts.
Demyx was still standing strong. He played a few notes and water shot us into the air. He played a melody and lightning nailed us. "Can't have you healing Sora!" Demyx played one last tune and knocked Riku away with wind.
"Come on out water!" Clones appeared and attacked us. Riku wasn't up yet though! NO! Riku's HP dropped to Zero!
"NO!"
(Elsewhere, Omnipotent POV)
Cloud and Zack were slashing through the monster after monster. "Think you can handle this many Cloud?"
Cloud looked around and smirked. "Well, it might be tough if one more shows up." Zack chuckled. "Then that will have to be one I take care of."
"Oh? You're fighting too?"
The two did a joint attack and wiped out the monsters in the area. They ran off further into the city to save as many as they can. They arrived in the third district where they encountered Sephiroth.
"Seph! Is everything ok?" Sephiroth nodded. "Yes, districts 1-4 are evacuated. District 5 is a monsters den though. That's where they got in. Somehow the boss from 74 is in the district. Me and Genesis are going to fight it. I want you two to find Sora and Riku and meet up with us there to help fight it. We won't be getting there right away so there is time."
That's when they all stopped and looked up in the sky at the great red gleam. They had no idea what it was.
(Back to Sora POV)
"NO!" This can't be happening! There is still a chance! I quickly moved my hands and did the appropriate hand seals. I thrust my hands to the ground when I was done and a large red glyph appeared below me. "Phoenix!"
Fear shot across Demyx's face. Fire erupted from the glyph and a large beautiful bird shot from the ground. It soared into the sky and roared. Fire enveloped are area and killed all of the water clones. Demyx's HP took a major hit but best of all Riku was healed completely.
Phoenix disappeared and I ran at Demyx with my sword ready. He shook his head. "No please don't!" I slashed through him and jumped backwards towards Riku.
Demyx breathed heavily before his sitar burst into water. "Uht oh, NO WAAAAYYYY! AHHHHHHHHH!" He collapsed to his knees and faded from the area leaving only a puddle of water behind.
"Riku . . . I thought I was going to lose you." Riku couldn't speak. He was clearly shook up. I healed myself and kissed Riku on the lips.
Cloud and Zack came running up to us. "Guys what the hell was that light?"
Riku shuddered. "It was Sora, he summoned Phoenix. He saved me from dying." Cloud and Zack looked relieved. Cloud and Zack explained what Sephiroth wanted us to do. We followed them to where ever we needed to go.
(Omnipotent POV, Zexion and Xemnas)
Xemnas and Zexion were overlooking the fight on a cliff outside the city. Xemnas was pleased with himself but Zexion was shaking his head in disappointment. "Xemnas, this isn't what we discussed. This attack is ridiculous and unintelligent."
"I am the Superior Zexion, not you. I will decide how this Organization works. Do as I say." Zexion gave a curt smile and bow. "As you wish."
(District 5, Sora POV)
We arrived at the fight where Sephiroth and Genesis were fighting. They were doing well against the beast. They needed healing though. I stopped and healed them while Riku, Cloud and Zack jumped into the fight. Zack and Cloud did their duel tech. Riku used Ragnarok, Sephiroth used Shadow Flare and Genesis used his unique attack called Armageddon.
I jumped down and used one of my new skills. "Emerald Flare!" The beast roared in pain from the attack and all six of did one final slash on the beast to finish it. It gave one last roar before bursting into flames and turning into a pile of ash.
In its wake was a small potion vial. It was a revival potion. Riku took it and put it into his inventory. Before we could celebrate we were teleported to a all white room.
There was a hooded person before us holding a unique looking scythe. Is it Zexion? The scythe disappeared in a flurry of flower petals. The hooded person pulled back their hood to reveal themselves.
It was a very beautiful man. He had a light auburn hair and beautiful blue eyes. "Hello all of you and welcome to Castle Oblivion."
Plz review. Next time on Eden. Castle Oblivion? What? What does this new development mean? What is Xemnas planning or is he even planning? Who the HELL is the Hacker? Will these secrets be found out?
