-1SORAXESS'S TALE: The Tainted one

Disclaimer: I do not own the KH world or any of the Disney characters that appear in this story. Hmmm…looks like this dark tale is getting some attention. Well, here's the next update.

Chapter 8: Is Soraxess dead?

Axel didn't want anyone to know so he walked up to Roxas. "Roxas, I want to speak to you privately." Axel said. Roxas got up from the table and headed off towards the living room.

"What's up?" Roxas asked.

"Well, looks like you don't have to deal with Soraxess for a while, because we already had taken care of him." Axel explained. Roxas was a bit surprised. "How did you do that?" He asked Axel.

"We trapped him within a card that Luxord pulled off."

Roxas noticed something was up with Axel.

"All of us tried to take on Soraxess…but he killed almost half the Organization, that proves that He's real powerful enough to actually kill Sora."

"Where did he come from?" Roxas asked.

"Well…He must be a demon of some kind or something…because he's not a normal nobody or a normal heartless, he seems to be a force that probably came from you and Sora as well. To kill off anything."

"But if he is from us, then he should be easy to take out with the key blade." Roxas said.

"Xion tried to take him out." Axel said.

"Xion! Is she okay?" Roxas asked shocked to hear about her. Axel sighed and looked a bit disappointed. "Sorry--But it seems that He killed her…with his blade into her head."

Roxas felt butterflies in his stomach hearing how Xion died such a death.

"But the organization XIII can't hold him any longer…to me, they are good as gone." "…But, Lets just say, that I'm on your side now." Axel said.

Sora walked in hearing the whole conversation. "And how can we trust you? You're the one who kidnapped Kairi, remember?"

"Look, I'm sorry for that…but we have to deal with even bigger problems now, with your strange creature on the loose."

"MY creature?" Sora blinked.

"It seems that Axel is telling the truth Sora." Riku said. "Back on the island were me and Kairi went to get you…and that strange creature came out from you…Soraxess, seems to be something from your darkness and Roxas."

"Huh? I don't get it…How Can Soraxess be—Our darkness?" Sora asked leaning back.

"I think it might of happened sometime a few years back, Maybe Soraxess was a heartless of some kind and then got some of my genes and yours too…But He's a mystery that is hard for all of us to solve." Roxas suggested.

"Well, we have to stop him that's for sure and get rid of him for good." Sora replied.

"Let's just hope he doesn't become any stronger…because he almost killed all of us." Axel warned Sora.

"Right." Sora said with a nod.

"Uhh…Sora, what about the other worlds? Soraxess could be planning another heartless attack and hurting folks." Goofy said.

"Well, from what Axel told us…the other Organization members have Soraxess under control." Sora said.

"Ya think? We've seen on what he could do." Goofy replied. "He could maybe destroy every single one of them and then things will get in even more of a mess."

"He's right Sora. Better taking on Soraxess now even with the organization still around." Mickey said.

"Hm…ok." Sora replied nodding.

He turned towards Kairi. "Kairi…I don't want anything to happen to you, so I'll let you use one of my key blades." Sora said. He handed Kairi the Fairy Harp Key blade.

She looked at it and then hugged Sora. "I know it will protect you from Soraxess." Sora said.

"It will." Kairi said.

Axel walked in between them. "Alright…lets not get all mushy here. I'll take you guys to the castle to deal with him."

Axel made a portal for all of them to get to the castle oblivion.

MEANWHILE:

Soraxess was released from his card and he looked around.

He turned around and saw Demyx. He rushed towards him, but stopped in place as something froze him.

"That's enough…Soraxess." Luxord said holding up the card.

He let go of Soraxess. Soraxess landed on the ground and tried to get up but he was forced to stay on all fours.

"Grr…Release me! Release me…now!" He roared.

"I'm afraid not Soraxess…We have a special task for you to do." Saix said walking in. "Our leader will be coming soon."

"We could use you for gathering our kingdom hearts."

Soraxess's eyes were in raged. "No one orders me around!! I don't take orders from any one, especially you." He snarled.

"I'll find my own way in getting my world to finally awaken."

Demyx stared at Soraxess with anger seeing that Larxene was gone.

"Do we have to force you to do what we want?" Saix asked. Soraxess snarled with a glare. Saix summoned his blade and snapped his fingers as a few dusks came in.

"If you do what we want, then I won't have to force you…but if you do." Then Soraxess's laughter interrupted Saix. "Huh?" Saix said looking at Soraxess.

"Go right ahead…attack me." Soraxess said with a sneer.

Saix pointed at Soraxess. The dusks didn't move. "What—Attack him!" Saix ordered the dusks. They still wouldn't move from their places.

"You see…Saix, they won't attack me…because I'm like them…more to say, a part of the family." Soraxess said smiling as he started to have darkness flow through his body.

Saix gasped. "You…what are you?" He asked with fear. The dusks all turned to face Saix as Soraxess had gotten up on his two feet and walked up towards Saix.

"I'm…your worst nightmare." Soraxess said grabbing Saix's face and grins. Saix started to feel pain go through his face feeling the sharp thorns starting to make way towards his skull. Soraxess opened his mouth making a strange sound, the Dusks wrapped around Saix's body so he wouldn't try to use his weapon. Saix struggled yelling with anger and pain.

Luxord tried to get Soraxess back into the card, but the card wasn't responding. The card blew up into pieces. Saix struggled even more as blood from his head started to drip. The blood dripped down onto the ground, Soraxess was delighted to see the blood of his victim drop. "This is what true darkness feels!" Soraxess said getting ready to finish off Saix.

"Uh oh!" Demyx shrieked.

Then a laser pushed Soraxess back. He landed on the wall and growled. Xemnas and Lexaeus showed up. Lexaeus tossed his axe that made Soraxess fall to the ground. Xemnas shocked Soraxess with his ability to stun him.

Saix was catching his breath and was holding his side. "Master…Xemnas you're here." Saix said. Soraxess couldn't move and was struggling to break free.

"What happen to the rest of the organization?" He asked Saix.

"Soraxess wiped out most of us." Saix said breathing harsh. Xemnas turned around to face Soraxess. "So…you're the one who almost took out the organization?"

Soraxess looked up at Xemnas very dim. "Yes…I did…they were fools to try and control me."

Lexaeus walked up towards Soraxess and knocked him out.

Soraxess woke up in a room that was filled with light and he was chained up. The chains creaked as he tried to break free.

"Tell me Soraxess---How did you do this?" Xemnas asked. Soraxess smirked. "With my darkness."

Xemnas turned to Lexaeus started to hold his head as he was hearing a strange buzzing sound in his head. "Graahhh!" Lexaeus cried in pain. He grabbed his axe and swung it at Soraxess. The Chains all sliced in half. Xemnas gasped seeing Soraxess was gone. Soraxess emerged from the ground and impaled Lexaeus in the chest. Xemnas turned around to see Soraxess's claw straight through Lexaeus. Lexaeus made his last cry before being ripped in half into fading darkness.

Soraxess turned and stared at Xemnas while tilting his head. Xemnas pulled out his weapons and charged at Soraxess.

Sora and the gang made it towards castle Oblivion and heard some echoing on the top floor. "Hey! Look up there!" Goofy said pointing up at the tower. Sora looked up and saw Xemnas battling Soraxess.

Axel saw the battle and Soraxess flew above the sky avoiding all of Xemnas's lasers. "I'm sure our leader has the floor here in getting some damage on Soraxess." Axel said.

Kairi then saw that Soraxess was flying straight towards them, but Soraxess flew over them and headed back up.

"Lets hope your right." Riku said to Axel.

"I'll make sure you'll die!" Xemnas said charging up more energy to make his final blow. Soraxess frowned with anger and dashed at him. Soraxess and Xemnas both clashed, as they were both down as a huge explosion covered the scene.

Soraxess flew downwards with a huge chuck of flesh out from his stomach gone. A piece of the castle fell on top of Soraxess and a huge wave of dust had passed threw the arena.

"He did it!" Sora said. They ran up towards Xemnas's body. Xemnas got up holding his chest and walked towards a support beam to support him.

"You weren't have bad, Xemnas, you got him." Sora said.

"What are you doing here?" Xemnas asked breathing very hard.

"We came to deal with Soraxess…but seeing that you had taken him out, well, looks like we came here for nothing." Sora replied.

"So, your hearts brought you here to deal with this—being?" Xemnas asked. "Yeah." Sora said.

Xemnas was badly wounded that he couldn't walk straight but dragging one leg.

"I guess we can go back now to go see the other worlds and how they are doing." Sora said to axel. Axel nodded and they all went back.

Luxord looked up to see Xemnas badly hurt and cured him. "Is there anything that we must do?" Luxord asked.

"We—We need more hearts…" Xemnas said breathing very hard. Xigbar noticed that Luxord's cure still didn't have any effect.

"Hey, Luxord…maybe that fight that he had with Soraxess...your cure didn't work." Xigbar said.

"What?" Luxord asked. "I'm sure it worked."

"Not to me." Xigbar replied.

-End of chapter 8-

A/N: [whistles] well that was interesting. But it's not over yet…something is wrong with Xemnas; maybe Soraxess had done something to him. Well, I'm hoping to see a great review and I hope you are all looking forward to the next chapter. Please leave a review!
