" Join the Bogabah party!" A boy who was apparently lacking talent in coming up names for a guild, waved a flyer in the air. He, being a low leveled noob, wore the classic black avatar outfit, which consisted of black shoes, black baggy pants, a black jacket and a white t-shirt. With his pale, freckled face, blue eyes and feathered brown hair, he certainly looked like he just picked up the game days ago.
The (probably 7) child blinked when he saw the most breathtaking girl he's ever seen-one with light fair skin and dark brown hair. Her jade green eyes glittered in the sky as she searched the many shops for something specific, her glossy leather organization cloak sticking to her and highlighting her curves.
" H-hey!" He stuttered, stepping toward the fair maiden. " Would you-would you like to join my party?" The girl turned, her long curls bobbing up and down due to the motion, giving a small 'hm?'. She stared curiously at the young boy, who sweat dropped in nervousness.
" Uhm, the Bogabah party... I just created it yesterday if you want-" He was abruptly interrupted.
" No, thank you." She said quickly and looked back at the accessory shop window, inside holding valuable bracelets and necklaces that not only were quite beautiful, but also boosted strength, defense, and recovery power in battle...
" B-but, no one's joining! I can make it a party with just us... we can get to know each other-"
" I'm sorry... I already have a party." Despite the boy's annoying persistence, she never lost her polite, soft voice.
" I'll-I'll pay you 10,000 jewels to join my party! I got-got them al-all from the q-quests, see?"
" I already told you, no... Go away, please." The girl tugged at her black gloves and looked at the ground from the corner of her eye, wondering if this kind of persistence would be categorized as sexual assault...
" Heh heh heh... Lookie here, Saxs. Seem's like someone's trying to steal one of our girls..." A man with dark blonde spiky hair and a tailcoat stepped in front of the beautiful, shy maiden. He tipped his hat so his eyes weren't visible and showed off a wide, manic smile.
" You're right Bael... should I burn him for you, Milady Tenshi? I don't think I approve of the way he's treating you..." Another man with long, sandy blonde hair and rich blue eyes stepped to the other side of the lady now known as Tenshi, he and Bael making a somewhat protective wall with their bodies between the newbie boy and the distraught introvert.
The newbie boy took a shaken step back. These two... they were maniacs! Darkness and the fires of Hell seemed to sprout at their feet, there eyes glowing a deep red (though that may have been the boys shaken imagination) their blood hungry grins and deep snarls and growls sending chills up the boys spine.
" W-who are you people?" The boy let out a shaken breath, his heart threatened to stop with all the stress the two overpowered and clearly ticked off beings posed.
" Us...?" Bael tapped his chin in mockery thoughtfulness before grinning at him. " Well, that's simple! We're-" Crows flew over the clock tower, and cawed in the distance, the clouds covering the just rising sun. " The Heaven's Knights."
His voice was chillingly calm, Saxs grinning as he watched the boy flee with a terrified shriek. A girl with snow white hair looked up a few stands away and frowned at the boys.
" It's like their her older brothers or something..." She mused to the older girl next her, the older girl with cherry blossom hair raising her head as smiled softly at the trio.
" I like to think of it as a wolf pack. They would've done the same for you, Heather." She smiled kindly at her, Heather sighing as she grabbed her head.
" As to you, Milady Noa... though last time one of us was threatened, buildings burned." She groaned as the two maniacs continued to chase off any other fantasizing boys. Noa chuckled softly and gazed at Formal Minnie gown.
" I remember that day..." She mused. " Though, I could've easily taken care of those boys by myself..."
" Even if you could, Milady Noa. It still made Saxs happy knowing he could protect you."
" What's wrong, Saxs?" Heather asked the pervy pyro, the two sitting with the rest of the party outside near the pool at a marble table. He was just laughing with his bro just a minute ago, however his face grew still, motionless.
" My Noa-senses are tingling..." He mumbled to himself, taking off his cowboy goth hat and placing it on the table. He wore almost everything the outfit consisted of, however somehow managed to loose his shirt on the way to the pool... even if he was a jolly food loving guy, it sometimes surprised Heather how he managed to be so ripped... it shouldn't surprise her though, he did strip on a daily basis.
" Noa-senses...?" Heather questioned, the others getting quiet as well. Ravens and Noora looked at each other worriedly, Tenshi just confused. Bael and Keksis looked at Saxs knowingly.
Saxs rose his nose and sniffed the air, walking toward the fountain plaza. The five others looked at each other before getting up, following him.
" C'mon pretty lady, why don't you join our party?" a man spit out a cigar and crossed his arms, grinning cockily.
" Let me go, you fiends!" Noa stepped back and grit her teeth when one of the seven boys grabbed her wrist and flipped him on his back. She had told her party she would search for new recruits, yet the people she had come across were far from exceptional.
" Heh heh... she's quite the fighter, good thing we have strength in numbers!" Another charged toward her, grabbing her arm and Noa spun around and kicked him in the back, knocking him to the ground as another two lunged left and right, Noa jumping in the air as they collided against each other. She summoned light in her hands and dodged a set of three guys, using her light to send her into the air and kick another in the face.
That was when the four others formed an X around her and lunged, pinning her to the ground. She thrashed and struggled and twisted her body like a crocodile, trying to roll on top of them instead. However, she had forgotten one small detail. She didn't have the same strength in the digital reality keyblade wielders called daybreak town as she did in real life. Her eyes widen in surprise. She was quite effectively trapped.
" Noooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" A man jumped from the roof and down to the group of guys, sending a flurry of flames out of his arms and knocking the men a few feet away before turning to the damsel in distress and offering her a hand.
" Are you alright, you're not hurt are you?" He had worry in his eye, his other covered due to his long blonde bangs. Noa frowned at him, and hit him on the side of the head with her fist.
" I'm fine, I could've taken care them myself!" Noa huffed and crossed her arms, her cherry blossom hair swishing to the left as she turned her head. Saxs chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
" Yeah... you clearly had it covered." He laminated the last words with sarcasm, Noa's eyes taunting playfully.
" Let's not forget who wiped the floor with who last time..."
" Ahem." A man cleared his throat, Saxs turning toward him, letting the rest of his long hair cover his other eye. " In case you haven't noticed, we're not finished here."
" Sweetheart... excuse me for a minute." He smiled at her, " When I'm finished, let's go on a date!" Noa covered her mouth and laughed, doing her best to hide her smile when Saxs turned. However, her eyes couldn't hide her happiness.
" Now... you guys." Saxs looked at them and pulled back his hair that was dripping with sweat, using his fire to dry it and slick it back. The men grit their teeth, Bael, Heather, Tenshi, Ravens, Noora and Maru arriving at the bottom of the steps down to the plaza.
Tenshi stepped forward, ready to summon her weapon when Bael held out a hand to her. He shook his head, Heather nodding silently. She didn't need words to know what he was saying, Saxs could handle himself. In fact, we would probably just get in the way.
Saxs's body heat burned his shoes and cloak as he turned and swiftly kicked toward one of the man's lower back, the other two charging and locking arms with his, Saxs grinning and spining, knocking the off balance. With one tap of his foot, fire exploded around the area, the only places untouched being a small circle around Noa and a wall in front of the rest of the Heaven's Knights.
Heather and Tenshi stared, their mouths agape. When they asked for a spar, he would always give the same dull response. 'I only fight when I need to.' he would say 'I don't like fighting to win, only to protect, I could never fight you girls anyway!' But now, seeing the pyro protecting the maiden, it all made sense.
He strength matched that of a god.
" Look there," Bael grabbed Ravens shoulder and pointed to Saxs. " Fire is an angry element, if you can feel that emotion, you'll get a major boost in power. But..." Bael smirked at Saxs who blocked a punch with his wrist before throwing it to the side, leaving the open to be kneed in the stomach. Heather and Tenshi blanched. Saxs... He was... calm?! How could someone use this much power calmly?!
" What's he like when he's angry...?" Tenshi choked out, Bael shrugging.
" Dunno, I've never seen him really angry before. This is the farthest he's ever gone with his fire." He cast a look to Saxs, who grabbed at a man's face with his palm and melted his face off before casting him aside. He panted and put his hands on his legs as he coughed, trying to catch his breath. The fires died down, to reveal the brutes. All were passed out, unable to move.
" Saxs!" Noa waved to him as Saxs stood up straight and cast her a thumbs up. She ran over to him and gave him a hug, Saxs smiling softly as he put a hand on her head.
" Next time, please go with someone, sweetheart." He smiled. " I would rather not worry." Noa opened her mouth to object, shut it when she saw him. His left eye was squinted by a fraction, it must've hurt somewhere despite his stubbornness to admit it. His sides and arms held bruises and cuts, his knuckles bloody. She couldn't even imagine what his legs looked like, the white baggy fabric of his pants hiding it. She smiled softly and grabbed her head.
" Man, thats the third outfit this week! You need to stop burning things, Saxs. Now we have to go shopping again!" She turned to the rest of the party and waved to them. " Heeeeey! Let's go get some sea salt ice cream guys!"
Tenshi, Ravens and Noora shared a look and grinned, skipping off toward the duo. Heather and Bael followed behind, Heather pointing to the burning buildings that have yet to loose their fire.
" Uhm... won't Ava kill us...?" Heather asked when she pointed, Maru snapping his fingers and creating a small snow cloud above the fire, the snow slowly causing the fire to cease.
" If anyone asks, the dusks did it." Bael told her and walked ahead toward the group. Noa and Saxs smiled, turning and leading the way, Noa snapping her fingers.
" Heal." She whispered as a light green glow engulfed Saxs, him smiling warmly back at her, mumbling a thanks.
