Author's Notes: OMG, guys and gals! I'm very sorry that I made you all wait for the newest chapter of Twilight Town's Wielder – I never forgot about the story…. Was busy with my college exams and other fanfics. Apologies to all those who have waited for a new chapter to come out…
Anyways, last time Olette and her friends had an encounter with the Opposite Armor and defeated him in battle. However, time froze and the Keyblade Master ended up getting reunited with her childhood friend Nexus who is now known as Venxik. What shall happen now? Find out in Chapter 14 of the story!
I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor its characters – they belong to Tetsuya Nomura.
Chapter 14 – Olette vs. Venxik: Part 1
"Nexus…?" These were the only words that came out of Olette's mouth due to her standing still like a statue with the tears falling from her eyes.
It was him…
Her missing childhood friend…
He was standing a few feet away from her…
It was Nexus or rather Venxik as he was now known.
The boy smiled evilly. "Yes, Olly… it's been a long time. Mainly… 13 years since I've disappeared from Twilight Town, yes?" He asked.
Olette still stood like a statue for more than 10 seconds and then slowly nodded.
"Y-yea… N-nexus, is it… r-really you?" Olette asked in a quiet tone, as the tears were still falling from her eyes.
Nexus or Venxik nodded. "Correct. However, there is only one problem… I'm no longer known as Nexus. I am now… Venxik – a Nobody that serves the Organization."
Olette was confused – Venxik? Nobody? The Organization? What the hell was he talking about? Who was the Organization, what exactly was Nexus now and why was he serving them?
"The Organization? Who are they and why are you calling yourself, Venxik? I don't understand! Please tell me!" Olette pleaded with him.
Venxik in response gave her a cruel laugh. "Tell you? Why should I tell you anything? You abandoned me!" He declared to a shocked Olette.
"I didn't abandon you! That's not what happened!" She stated.
"Oh, yeah? Then explain to me this: how long did you wait until you forgot about me? A week, a month, a year!? I waited for you to come and find me! Yet, you abandoned me! YOU LEFT ME!" He yelled with a glare directed towards her.
Olette was shocked – Nexus had never acted like this when they were children… what made him change so much in the years that the two friends were separated from each other?
"N-nexus… what happened to you? I n-never abandoned you… you disappeared from Twilight Town one day without any of us knowing where you went. You have to believe me… please." Olette pleaded.
Venxik shook his head. "A likely story, Olly… I don't believe you. You are a liar and a coward. And it's Venxik, now!" He stated which made Olette heartbroken and sad. Her best friend was gone… replaced by this… this… monster.
"N-nexus…" Olette whispered quietly as she began to cry once more.
Venxik noticed this and laughed once more. "Wow! You are such a crybaby! No wonder you abandoned me…" He said.
Olette wiped the tears away and got angry. "Nexus, I never abandoned you! I've searched Twilight Town every single day for you! I never stopped thinking about you! I prayed that I would find you one day! You need to believe me!" She pleaded with him.
Venxik chuckled gently. "Hmph… keep telling yourself that, Olette. Speaking of which, my master has told me that you have been practicing to fight with your friends and Fuu. Tell me this – have you learned to put up a decent fight yet?" He asked.
Olette was confused – what was he getting at exactly?
"W-what do you mean exactly?" Olette asked.
"I'll be asking the questions, sister! And why shouldn't I? Between the two of us…" He pulled out both hands as an aura of darkness filled them. Soon, two purple dojo blades appeared. He grabbed them and smirked evilly. "I'm the only person who will walk away from here alive." He declared to a shocked Olette.
The brown-haired girl examined the weapons carefully – they were no doubt deadly and filled with darkness. Something however was very off about them… she needed to be careful.
Olette pulled out her Keyblade and looked at her former childhood friend with a determined look on her face. She was going to defeat Venxik and find a way to help him… she had already lost him once. She wasn't going to do it again!
"Nexus… I'm going to defeat you and save you! I'll bring you back into the light!" She declared.
Venxik laughed. "I'm not the weak little boy you once knew Olly! The one who become your very first best friend and stood by you no matter what life threw at you! Nor am I the same hapless chump who crushed on you like a love struck puppy... I am Venxik – Organization XIII's Number XIV! My power comes from the depths of darkness itself and I'll continue to strive for power until every single one of my enemies lay dead before me! And you… you are nothing but a liability to me now Olette! Don't worry though – I'll be sure to give you a proper fight before you die. Farewell… my old friend and Keyblade Master!" He finished and then charged forward.
Olette was quick however and blocked the attack with her Keyblade. Alright, so he wanted a fight? Well, he's got one!
The brown-haired girl jumped backwards and stood to attention.
"Nexus, please… we don't have to do this! I can help you! You need to trust me!" Olette pleaded as Venxik charged forward and attempted to slash his childhood friend.
The brown-haired girl dodged his blade and casted Fire at Venxik who became angry and cloaked himself in darkness.
Olette couldn't help but wonder if her eyes weren't deceiving her – was it just her or were Venxik's blades beginning to glow?
"You won't defeat me, Olette!" He declared and charged forward once more – this time, he was a little bit faster.
Olette didn't have time to block or dodge Venxik's attack. He managed to deliver a couple of slashes and cuts on different parts of her body. Olette wasn't down so far… though her tank-top and pants were a little bit cut up. Along with the wounds on her hands…
The brown-haired girl jumped back quickly and casted Cure on herself. Her bloody wounds were gone although the cuts on the tank-top and pants still remained… never mind that now though.
Venxik cloaked himself in darkness yet again and his blades shinned a little brighter this time. Olette stood ready to prepare for another assault from her former friend.
Venxik charged forward, but this time Olette blocked the attack from his blade. She smirked while he glared at her. No way was she going to beat him… he was Number XIV of the Organization!
Venxik jumped back and then build up his speed power. He charged forward and managed to slash Olette a couple of times on her body. The brown-haired girl quickly casted Cure on herself and her cuts were gone.
Venxik was getting angry – no matter what he did, Olette was able to block his attacks. Whenever he managed to give her a cut or two on different parts of her body, she casted Cure and healed herself. Venxik needed a new strategy…
What was he supposed to do exactly? Granted he could continue fighting her, but for how long? Even if he was a Nobody, Venxik still-
"Oh, crap!" Venxik cursed as he blocked Olette's rushing attack with his blades.
"Nexus, please! We don't need to do this! I can help you! Please…" Olette pleaded with him yet again, but it had no effect on her former childhood friend who glared at her.
"Stop calling me, NEXUS! That part of my life is over now! It's Venxik!" He gritted his teeth angrily as he attempted to push her Keyblade away from his blades.
Soon, the young Nobody jumped backwards and glared at Olette – nothing was working! There had to be a way to gain the upper hand over her…
Olette stood ready to face her former childhood friend yet again while Venxik cloaked himself in darkness once again and powered his blades for another attempt to attack the brown-haired girl.
Both teenagers charged forward and their weapons clashes against each other. Olette and Venxik both glared at each other – one of them was going to win while the other was going to lose the battle.
Venxik gritted his teeth and then used one of his foot to kick Olette in the stomach. She let out a yelp of pain and jumped back a few feet away from her childhood friend. The brown-haired girl then casted both Fire and Blizzard at Venxik who was knock away on the ground.
He got up slowly and glared at his childhood friend – she was dead! She was so going straight to hell for this! She was-
Suddenly, Venxik's eyes widened as he immediately sensed something in Olette's very own heart. Almost all of it was pure lighted, but he could feel a small chunk of darkness located somewhere.
Interesting… so she did possess a heart of both pure light and darkness. Hmm…
Suddenly, Venxik's lips twisted in a smirk – he had an idea on how to break Olette and how to get her tired quicker. If he could insult her enough and manipulate her, she would able to draw out the darkness. Venxik knew that if an ordinary person used the dark powers too much, he or she would soon lose their strength and they would be open to an attack. Perfect!
Luckily, he knew exactly how to draw the darkness from inside her heart. She did react hostile towards him when they first met a few minutes ago and the fact that she got angry when he insulted her…
Meanwhile, Olette prepared herself for another assault on her former childhood friend. She was going to find a way to defeat him and then save him… no matter what.
Just then, she noticed that Venxik didn't move a muscle… at all. He dismissed his blade and his lips displayed a smirk. What… was going on?
"N-nexus… are you giving up?" Olette was hoping he was. She didn't want to fight him anymore…
In response to this, Venxik just laughed. "Me? Give up? Never! I won't surrender to a mommy's girl like you!" He declared.
Olette was in shock – what did he just call her? A mommy's girl…? She didn't know how or why but something inside of her body made her angry at being called an insulting nickname like that.
"W-what did you call me…?" Olette asked with gritting teeth.
"A mommy's girl! A worthless Keybearer! You are so pathetic that you couldn't even save your home or your friends from the threat of the Heartless!" Venxik declared with an evil laugh.
Olette was begin to get very angry – nobody insults her like this! So, what if she couldn't save her home or her friends? Nobody has to get up in her face and tell her that she fucked up!
Although, the brown-haired girl didn't know it – the darkness inside her heart was beginning to grown. It was covering the light completely...
"S-shut up, N-nexus!" Olette demanded with a glare at her childhood friend who just laughed in response.
"Oh, what's wrong, Olly? Are you being insulted by my words? Do you truly believe you are worthy of being the true wielder of the Keyblade?" He asked.
"Shut up!" Olette demanded – she was getting very angry at her childhood friend's insults.
"Hmph. Typical… you always have to say that I should be quiet. You haven't change at all… you are still the same brat I met in our childhood." Venxik stated with a cruel smile.
"Stop it! Stop insulting me!" Olette demanded – now she was getting angry with Venxik. Meanwhile, the darkness in her heart was growing bigger and bigger.
Venxik sensed it. Good, she was nearly close to breaking… all he had to do was jab a few more insults and bam!
"Stop insulting you? I've barely just started! You are nothing more than a waste of space! It's a miracle that you even survived the destruction of your world let alone not get your heart taken by the Heartless! You are a coward!" Venxik declared.
"Shut up!" Olette demanded.
"You are a coward because you failed to protect your home, your friends and your mother!" Venxik stated.
"Stop it! Shut it!" Olette demanded once more.
"You are a coward because you aren't worthy of wielding the Keyblade!" Venxik stated once again.
"SHUT UP!" Olette was getting very angry right now – she was nearly close to releasing the ultimate darkness from the inside of her heart.
Luckily, Venxik knew how to break her. It was his most ingenious insult ever…
"And you what Olly... you failed your friends and your mother. Speaking of which, how is Alice doing so far? Maybe I should go and pay her a visit… tell her how worthless of a wielder you are… and then I'll kill her along with your annoying friends." Venxik declared with a cruel laugh.
Olette's widened in anger and shock. That was the last straw! She was going to kill him! She didn't care if he was her childhood friend or not… that was all in the past! She was in the present now!
The brown-haired girl felt a strong unknown power coming from the inside of her heart. She didn't have a clue what it was… but she had a sudden urge to summon and use it against Venxik.
She channeled all her rage and anger into one and soon a dark purple aura covered her entire body. Olette suddenly felt stronger than before… and she liked it.
Venxik saw the whole scene especially Olette being covered in a dark purple aura and smiled triumphantly. Good, she had succeed in channeling the darkness inside her heart. Now, all he had to was tire her out and he could kill her. Perfect!
The dark aura that was around Olette's entire body disappeared and soon she looked at Venxik with a smile of her own – however, that wasn't what surprised the teenage boy. It was the eyes of his former childhood friend – they were no longer green but golden. Olette had used the darkness… just as Venxik planned.
"You know what, Venxik? You were right… I was worthless. But not anymore… do you know why?" Olette asked as she used some of her darkness to power up her Keyblade.
"Why, Olly?" Venxik asked as he summoned his blades once more and prepared for combat.
"Because I've embraced the darkness! And now… I'm going to use to kick your asshole into next week!" Olette declared with a smirk.
Venxik smirked as well and got into position. Soon, the two former childhood friends charged forward and their weapons clashed with each other.
However, what the two teenagers didn't know was that someone was watching them from the Traverse Town Rooftops – a familiar sorceress that was unknowingly manipulating Olette's close friend Fuu. It was Maleficent herself.
She had arrived here after sensing a very strong reading coming from Traverse Town itself. What surprised her was witnessing the chosen wielder and a boy wearing a cloak battle against each other. Maleficent didn't expect a fight like this one… however, what surprised was Olette opening herself to darkness.
She had a smile on her face – it was one of curiosity and thinking. Maleficent was truly curious on whether or not Olette would make a better puppet than Fuu…
"Hmm… let's see how little Olette handles the darkness that she has channeled from the inside of her heart first. Impress me, dear children." Maleficent said with the smile still on her face as she continued watching the fight between Olette and Venxik…
Author's Notes: That's my cue! I've decided to split the fight into two parts – this is the introduction part and beginning of the brawl between Olette and Venxik. Next chapter we'll see the aftermath and the closing of the Traverse Town Keyhole.
Again, sorry for me taking too long to write the chapter… next time, I'll try to be faster. Depends of how my schedule is and if I'm not too damn busy…
Anyways, next story I'm gonna update is possibly Project Keybearer or Fated Destiny. After that, Poke Hearts and Linked into One… I hope I have enough time to update them all. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will succeed.
I think that's all I have to say for now. Again, I'm very sorry that it took me this long to write the chapter… however, the next one will come soon. I promise.
So, yeah. That's all I have to say! Time for me to go and post this bad boy on ! Until next time!
See ya and bye!
