A/N: I realized this was way more like Full Metal Panic, so I threw a little reference in there somewhere... Or maybe not. I have yet to proofread.
Ahem, story plug time! MimiB.Real is writing a Vincette too! OO! For more Vincette you should read that there story. In other words, I'm ordering you to so the wave of Vincette will continue for ever and ever.

Vampire in the Tower
09 :: Roxas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were stalking me." It wasn't Vince-... Chaos that saved her, oh no. Just before Olette plummeted to her inevitable doom she was saved -which made the doom ten percent less inevitable- by Riku. In other words, she was once again taken to Betwix and Between against her will.
They were standing in a, now completed, representation of Twilight Town. More specifically, the Sandlot. The town was eerily quiet, and just as inanimate. No birds, no bugs, the ground beneath her feet didn't even feel like it. Olette looked around, expecting to see her blond friend, "Where's Roxas?"
The silver haired boy snorted, pointing to the Twilight Tower. A large glowing orb of white... whiteness surrounded it. It was drawing little bits of data and, for some reason, Heartless were crawling from it's white depths.
"He locked himself in there," the boy muttered, "This is what we were afraid of."
"We?" Olette blinked. Was Riku part of some secret digital society of freaks in black? Probably not. Riku couldn't get along with people like him. It would be nearly impossible, according to Olette's supreme logic.
"That doesn't concern you." Of course it didn't, that's why he saved her just before a horrible, crackly death. The brunette vaguely wondered if Chaos/Vincent was/were okay.
"...Aren't Heartless black?" Olette asked dumbfounded. Riku sighed, nodding. Sometimes things just refused to make sense.
Olette turned, "So, what do you wa-" A blue-black blade pressed against her neck. The silver haired boy had, apparently, lost his marbles in a duel with Roxas. The brunette's breath caught in her throat. The look of pure shock only rivaled Riku's look of complete apathy. Silver haired bastard.
"I've observed you and subject: Roxas together." Riku stated, "When subject: Roxas began acting beyond his own free will you were pulled from Twilight Town. It became apparent over a week's time that he has a special connection to one Olette Tuetsi
"If I kill you," he said quietly, "He'll let his defenses down long enough for us to attack."
"...Ah." Olette said, "Do you r...really want to do this, Riku?" He stared and pushed forward lightly, drawing a thin line of blood from the brunette.
"Yes, now die." he said in a monotone voice, lunging forward. Olette squeaked and did the only thing she could think of. Run away.
She was quite a bit faster than Riku, if being an inch away from the blade counted as faster. Suddenly, a pillar sprung up from the ground. Olette spun to avoid it, another appeared in her path. Another and another, though she continued to avoid them skillfully. Skillful means not falling on her ass and becoming an Olettekabob. Riku slashed at her jacket, cutting it open but missing the flesh inside.
"Stop joking around!" she yelled, not willing to stop herself, "This is dangerous, Riku! Put that dow-" He cut her off, slicing through the air millimeters from her neck.
"I'm afraid I cannot."
Olette managed to make it to the Usual Spot, only to find a white void in it's place. She turned sharply, only to have Riku's blade connect with her shoulder. A red, sticky liquid slid down her arm and stained her hoodie.
"Don't you realize?" Riku growled, "This World's rules are different from yours. I have more power than you."
Olette froze and tried to unfreeze, but couldn't
"Organic lifeforms are so fragile." he muttered, tracing a pattern into her shoulder. Olette flinched, but wouldn't cry. She refused to give him whatever sick satisfaction it would grant.
"You certainly are a mystery, Olett-" A large crack appeared in the void beside them and exploded. Dust and debris flew everywhere, barely managing to miss Olette by mere centimeters. She caught a glimpse of blond hair.
Roxas held his twin keyblade, aiming them directly at the silver haired maniac. "Riku," he said in a serious, flat tone, "You were suppose to observe the reconstruction of Betwix and Between.
"When you began calling that girl here," Riku glared, "Your data began to grow at an exponential rate. Too fast for us to track. You're out of control and should be treated as a bug."
"But you're order's ar-"
"Fuck orders!" he growled, "I am doing what's best for this world." Roxas blinked.
A ball of light began to form where his blades met. In a flash he slashed forward and a geyser of digital blood shot from Riku's chest. The small area around him was covered with the red substance. Roxas panted, turning to Olette, who was more or less in shock.
"Olette, I-" Of course, that would be the moment the all power VINSATO! appeared out of the crack as well. He saw the weapons and instantly through the worst.
Because overreacting is a vampire's choice of emotion.
"Don't kill him!" Olette yelped. The vampire growled, clutching Roxas' neck. The boy began turning blue and the brunette wondered if he really needed to breath, or was just being dramatic... Then she wondered if Roxas could be dramatic at all. Olette took two steps forward and smacked Vincent with one of the blades. He dropped the blond, who twitched slightly.
"What-" Vincent began, Olette cut him off with a thwack.
"You shouldn't be trying to kill him because you feel 'threatened'," she turned to Roxas, "and you shouldn't be summoning Heartless from HELL! It's rude, dammit!" Riku twitched again, nobody noticed or cared. Damn emo kid.
"Then give me a reason," Vincent stated. Olette hit him again, "No! You just sit in your emo corner and die!"
She turned to the blond, "Roxas, I'm glad you're o-" A bright beam of pure light shot through Roxas' chest, originating from Riku's blade. The horror in Olette's eyes were only matched by the surprise in both Vincent's and Roxas'. The beam shot through his body, corrupting what little fabric was holding him together. Olette's brain began to process the information rapidly, she screamed.
"Roxas!" Olette rushed to catch him in her arms. He was already beginning to disappear as was Riku. The brunette glared at the silver haired boy. "Stop it! Stop this and fix him!" she screamed, cradling Roxas' head against her breasts. Tears were already threatening to fall from her emerald green eyes.
"It's too late." Riku whispered, a satisfied grin on his already paling lips. His data began to break away, dissipating into the air. Vincent glared, but the silver haired boy continued to talk, "I've finished my mission... Good-" The outline of his body dissipated in a magnificent gold light.
"I'm... sorry, Olette." He was starting to sound different, weaker and weaker with each syllable.
"Don't be sorry." the brunette whispered, "I have no regrets. I'm glad I met you, Roxas."
"You love me, right...?" She did but not in the way he hoped. Olette wouldn't tell him that.
"I do, Roxas." she said with a sob.
With one last bout of strength, he looked at Vincent with dulling blue eyes, "You'll take care of her, right?"
Then he was gone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four figures clad in black cloaks watched the dramatic scene through giant flat screens.
"Vincent Valentine, huh?" the shortest one spoke with a snide tone, "He doesn't seem so tough. I'm sure you cou-"
"Quiet." the one closest to the screen muttered, focusing on the screen. The other huffed, crossing its hands over its flat chest.
"Our orders aren't for the reject." the tallest stated, moving from its spot against the wall. The last continued to stare, barely acknowledging the other three. The screen suddenly focused on Olette's face, magnifying it.
"Olette Tuesti."
The shortest snorted, "What's so special about her?"
"She managed to completely assimilate into the data of Betwix and Between with the help of subject 013," one explained, "She is to be observed until further notice."
"I thought we decided that it was because of Roxas' unfortunate memories?" the tallest said.
"Do not question your orders." the last spoke.
The shortest grunted, "So, what do ya want me to do?"
"You'll do nothing without orders, Larxene." The last spoke, moving from it's spot and disappeared into a black portal. The shortest yelped, "Wait! Saix! What do ya mean nothing?! This is the-" She ran after the other, yelling something incoherent.
The tallest of the remaining two picked up a file casually tossed amongst the room's desks. "'Olette Tuesti, subject 019. To be observed for development of any unordinary activity...' Ch'. Do you really think this little girl could help Xemnas reach his goal? If Roxas' memories couldn't, how could she?"
"It's not about what I think, Axel." the other replied, a single dark blue eye blazing underneith his hood. "It's what the Superior wants us to do."
"Whatever, Zexy."
