Persona Task Squad: The Heart of the Watcher. Death Pirates/Lylatian Rescue Arc.

Chapter 34: Plans for Venom. Finally Becoming Whole.

(Enter Andrew's POV)

After two days, I found out something disturbing. As it turns out, Panther's been using Venom as a hideout for quite some time now, and the other Heartless "Kings" are with him. If anything, we need a distraction in order to get them out of there.

"We could always hack their communications," I said.

"One problem," Wolf said. "It's been a long time since I served on Andross's side, so if they updated the code, I won't be able to know it."

"What was the previous code?" Fox asked him.

"Vixy."

"Sorry I asked."

James was regretful. "It's okay, son. Had Andross never went mad, we would have considered him a Godfather like Peppy."

"Other than the obsession with your mother," Krystal said, "I think that my name's the password, knowing him."

"But Panther's not in charge," Sora said. "The Horned King is, and Maleficent's his second-in-command."

"Black Cauldron's a bit of a wild guess," I said. "There's also the code originally used for the Door to Darkness. Beryl's is probably something along the line of the Four Earth Generals."

"Maybe we can help with your little problem," we heard a familiar voice say. A Corridor of Darkness opened to reveal Light Yagami, Saya, and Wandrex. Everyone was tense at the sight of them.

"And what's the setback with scum like you?" Tyler asked them.

"Don't act like we're going to double-cross you after the invasion," Saya said.

"Easy," Wandrex said. "If anything, I can trust myself."

"And he's right," I said. "You sensed Arthanos within me, didn't you?" He nodded. "And now protecting me is a higher priority."

"That's right."

"For a Nobody," Riku said, "you seem pretty dead-set on protecting him."

"I did the same thing with Sora, remember?" Axel asked Riku.

"Ah."

"Well, I can trust him," Roxas said. "As long as he doesn't act like Xemnas and try to get Kingdom Hearts for himself."

"Same here," I said. "If anything, Terra would like to speak with your Vizard self, Wandrex."

Light looked at L and smirked. "Looks like we're on the same side this time," he said.

"It seems so," L said. "And you took care of Mikami during Andrew's meditation, didn't you?"

"He was working for Damien and doesn't consider me a God anymore. That, and he used a fake Death Note."

"Still," I cut in, "why did you name your organization the 'Death Pirates'?"

Light, Saya, and Wandrex looked at each other...then said, "Blame Maximum the Hormone."

"Oh yeah." I did like Zetsubou Billy.

"That, and Dio and Nine were killed by Beryl and Tira," Saya said. "And yes, it's the Tira from Soul Calibur IV."

"And the stupid AI Wandrex got was deleted," Light said.

"Okay," Wandrex said. "I was wrong to buy an AI from an evil clown overlord."

"Darph Bobo?" I asked him. He nodded. "And you had to pick an annoying version of the killer in space?"

"We'll worry about that later," Reiji said, glaring at Saya. "Right now, if they can keep their word, they can ride with us. And no funny business."

"I've died once by your hand, stud," Saya said. "I don't plan on dying again."

"And you, Light?" L asked him.

"Let's just say that there are a couple other Kiras running around," Light said. "Only six Death Notes can be activated at a time, mine being the first."

"Light is considered the genius of the group," Saya said, hugging him. "But I had to train him in order to keep up with you guys."

Everyone was gaping, but Wandrex and I chuckled. "Leave it to the smart psychopathic killers to find love within each other," the both of us said.

"Now I know that he's your Nobody," Trisha said. "You both have the same twisted sense of humor."

"Back to the mission at hand," Tyler said. "We're trying to hack into the system in Venom in order to get to the Keyhole."

"Easy," Wandrex said, taking out his DS. "I'm going to need the hackers in order to decrypt the password. After that, I'm going to need my Somebody in order to release his full power. Arthanos and Shadow Blade aren't going to be enough unless he and I become whole."

"Challenge accepted," I said. "We fight in my station?" He nodded. "Great."

"Deja vu," Roxas said.

"I know," Sora replied. "However, Wandrex doesn't have the Keyblade like you do."

"But he DOES have Xemnas's fighting style."

At that moment, I felt myself and Wandrex disappear.

...and reappear in my Station with Xemnas right beside him.

"We fight by ourselves," Wandrex said. "No interference from our Vizards and Avatars."

"That explains Aftershade, Stuart, and Matthias," I said, noticing the three being held back by their respective arch-nemesis. "Terra, can you take care of Xemnas?"

"Already on it," he said.

"Don't bother," Xemnas said. "I already know how this match is going to go."

"Can you at least make it look convincing?" Arthanos asked Wandrex.

He nodded. "You up for this, Andrew?"

"I've been waiting for this since you revealed yourself," I said. "I just didn't think it was this soon." I then took out Sanctuary. "Since you don't have the Keyblade, I'm going to fight with the weapons of my Avatars so you don't feel cheated."

"You're too nice for your own good. Then again, I was that way until separation." He then took out a black Gunblade. "Let's battle."

(Play "Figure.09" by Linkin Park. Instrumental loop)

If I knew myself inside and out, I'd know his moves. Unfortunately, he knows my own as well. When our Gunblades clashed, we kept fighting with the same moves and counter-moves we both had.

"SHIFT!" the both of us said. At that, the Gunblades turned into twin blasters and a cross punisher.

"BLACK FIRE DANCE!" Wandrex yelled, activating the sabers.

"PHOENIX DANCE! MODE BLUE!" I yelled, activating my own. Both of us were blazing the competition, but Wandrex ended up on the bottom and I had activated my Cross Punisher to Gatling mode. "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!" I yelled in my best Tony Montana imitation.

However, he activated his and used the Missile to counter some of the bullets. We then changed into twin sabers. and lightning had clashed.

"DANCE OF THE BLACK DRAGON!" He yelled.

"DANCE OF THE DESERT TANUKI!" I yelled, using the Sand ability from Seeker.

"Oh, you cheat--" He collided with the sand because of that, but he turned it into metal and smashed out of it. "You're going to have to do better than that." He then changed his metal arm into a white and blue Two-Face style suit. "ZA WARUDO!" However, he noticed I was moving.

"That doesn't exactly fit the Card theme," I said in my own Red and Black suit.

"I'm your Nobody," he said.

"And you misread this. CARDS!"

They flipped over, but Wandrex was faster. "Do you know the rules?"

Whoa. He modified Luxord's technique. Anyways, I managed to get them all to Os and hit him with the cards.

"Nice try," I said. "BLACKJACK TOWER!" At that, two decks of cards came down and two Cards were seen (only one had both backs while one had both fronts on both sides of the field).

"Hit me," he said.

Unfortunately, he went over and I went under.

"Game Over," I said, pressing the button.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THE RUSSIAN ROULETTE GAME HERE!?!?" He yelled while falling through the chamber and back into the station.

I then changed the suit into the Metal Arm and transmutated it into a plasma cannon. "Bye bye!" I yelled. I then fired at him, but he countered with Seeker's sand.

"Oh, please," he said. "What can you do when your doppelganger knows your every..." However, he didn't notice that I used Xemnas's saber behind him. "Good one," he said before fainting.

(End Tune)

I then helped him up.

"I was right," he said. "You DO make a good other."

I then disappeared in a flash of white.

...back into the Great Fox II.

"You DO make a good other," I said.

"We're in," Slippy said.

"Looks like the code for the Door to Darkness was used for their system," Sora said.

"Great," I said. I then cracked my knuckles. "Let's give him a warm welcome, then."

"You feeling okay?" Trisha asked me.

"Whole, if you're wondering."

"Must have been one heck of a fight," Roxas said.

"Actually, it was a random mess with different elements once we wore the tuxedos, but we're good."

Panther wasn't going to know what hit him.

To be continued.
