Chapter 7: The weapons

A/N I'm infinitely sorry for the two week delay I was on vacation, and I haven't had time to do anything.

When they got back to their rooms, they withdrew their weapons. This was done at will, and disappearing at will, as Leon had shown them.

Sora and Riku's keyblades were being awed over so much, that when Hayner and Roxas were in the middle of a battle, Sora and Riku vanished their weapons into oblivion for the time being.

"Come on!" Riku demanded. "You've seen ours, and we don't even know what you two have!"

"Fine." Roxas and Hayner replied unhappily.

Roxas did a fancy snap with his left hand, allowing his right to grab his weapon.

(A/N I know Roxas should technically receive a keyblade, but it's MY story!)

Before they could even get a good look at it, Roxas spun the weapon from the middle and it vanished.

"What was that for?" Sora demanded.
"I want Hayner to go first." Roxas said.

"Ok, fine, I don't care." Hayner replied.

Hayner did not do anything fancy when he with drew his weapon, merely held out his hand.

Riku and Sora gazed in awe at this unique weapon.

It was difficult to describe. It appeared to be to maces hooked together at the handhold.

Suddenly, though, it changed, and now it was split in half, and Hayner was holding two maces.
Yet again, it changed at Hayner's apparent will. The spiked ends of the maces shot out very far, right at Riku's face!

Riku flinched, but the mace never hit him, in fact, when it fell to his lap, it levitated above his legs.

"You can control them?" Riku said, regaining the strength in his voice.

"No. I don't know why that happened." Hayner said staring at the levitating mace ends.

"It happened," a voice from the door said, "because you can only strike a person with them in the battle room, and even then they'll be wearing CTD's.

The silence in the room answered Vian that he needed to explain.

"CTD. Clothes that defend. As long as you're wearing them, the battle weapons can hit you, maybe knock you over, but the only pain you'd get would be from scraping your hand on the floor."

"Oh." The boys said indifferently.

Vian could see that the boys didn't understand, but knew that didn't need to understand. They were just clothes.

"Ahh… now I don't see." Said Roxas sarcastically.

Vian shrugged off the remark. "You guys are lucky, there's open battle room this week, just for newcomers, because the rest of us have classes. The teachers are letting you have a week of getting used to the castle, they didn't used to do that sort of spoiling. You guys are free to work in your division, and even schedule scrimmages against other divisions, but this week will be devoted to your learning of the battle room and weapons. The battle room is very deep and it is totally made of Merlin's magic, but there are also computers in every division's base, to control and alter the half of the battle room closest to you, and sometimes they're not even sides. My division once had to fight in a huge tower, full of traps. That was last year. They start with much simpler layouts for you."

This was plenty information enough for the 1st years, so Vian let them absorb this information and learn the rest the next day.

The boys continued with their weapon show. Hayner put away his maces calmly, and everyone looked expectantly at Roxas.

"What? Am I drooling or something?" Roxas inquired with an obvious forced innocent face.

"You know what we're waiting for." Said Riku seriously.

"Don't you see it?" Roxas said with an evil grin.

"Well, I guess we've all gone blind, because apparently only you can see it." Sora said realistically.

"You could say that." Roxas said. "I can make it invisible to everybody else."

There was a shimmer in midair, and the weapon appeared.

It could be described as a large letter 'S'. It had two curved blades at the ends, which looked to be razor sharp.

Roxas stood up and spun it from the middle, and suddenly the blades on the ends began to spin also, so that it would appear as a solar system was orbiting around Roxas' hands, with the planets, or the blades, were spinning and revolving around the hands. It was a mesmerizing to watch.

Without warning, Roxas slashed at Hayner's head, and Hayner flinched, but as Roxas knew would happen, the blade stopped six inches in front of Hayner's neck.

"That's going to take getting used to." Hayner said, catching his breath.

Meanwhile, in the girls room, they did the same thing, but much more maturely than the boys. They didn't have to find out about the CTD's or the non-injury magic the hard way, as Tifa told them on the way back to the dormitory.

They merely showed each other their weapons. Kairi's was most fondled over, until she, just as Riku and Sora did, with drew it. The others were upset, but more understanding than the boys, and took their turns.

Selphie was quite eager to go first, as they all predicted.

Selphie was just about to withdraw her weapon when, she stopped.

"What is it?" Naminé asked.

"I just thought you guys should know that this morning, I ate the whole plate of seventeen choco-chip exploding muffins at breakfast this morning." Selphie bragged proudly.

Kairi put her head in her hands, knowing that Selphie's sugar intake for the entire week had just been consumed in one sitting.

Selphie spun around, did a fancy jump, and grabbed her weapon in midair, and whip lashed it at Ollette. Ollette screamed.

Thought there was a loud snap, nothing happened. Ollette flinched, and the ends of the weapon clearly had considerably more length, but it just went limp at Ollette's face, as everyone there knew would happen.

"Just because we can't get hurt doesn't mean you can do that!" Ollette said angrily.

From a reasonable distance, they all saw the weapon.

It had a sword like handle, but instead of a blade was a long whip.

Selphie vanished her weapon, bored of not being able to have fun.

Naminé showed them her weapon next.

This was a weapon, or weapons, as they saw, that truly said they could be anything.

It looked to be two spirals equipped in her hands, and she was spinning them with sudden ferocity and skill.

"I can throw them too." Naminé said calmly, stopping them.

As Ollette held out her hand for her weapon, the Author suddenly ran out of time and decided to get this dumb two week chapter online!

A/N What does ye be thinkin'? I liked the ending. Please review and again I'm sorry for the super slow update.
