All was calm in The World That Never Was, which inspired Number VI to go on a stroll around the castle grounds. She enjoyed the peace and quiet that radiated from the still city, enhanced by the soft glow of the moon that hung above sleepily behind sparse clouds.

"Purplely Kupo!!"

The woman stopped walking and turned around to see a small child running towards her. She instantly recognized her, and said,

"Dani? What are you doing here?"

The six-year-old caught up to her and smiled brightly. "I wanted to hang out with you!"

Layax smiled faintly. "Very well, then."

The two walked on, the younger chatting endlessly about random topics and ideas, while the older listened quietly. After some time, they were reaching the back of the castle when all of the sudden a hoard of Heartless appeared, mostly Shadows, but one or two of them were NeoShadows. They all leered at the duo, stalking closer. One of them reached out and clawed at them, but the woman moved she and the child back out of the way quickly.

Dani shrieked and clung to Layax's leg. "P-Purplely Kupo, I'm scareded…"

"Don't worry." The woman replied, assuredly. "I can handle them—"

"Wait! Can you do it all cool-like?" The girl looked up at her with bright eyes, pleadingly. "Pretty pleeease?"

Number VI looked down at the child, and then looked around, scanning the area for any other people. She knew exactly how Dani was asking her to fight, and quite frankly she found it embarrassing. The girl was a big fan of Navix's fighting style, where he'd shout out random battle cries while fighting, using fighting moves that were replicated from his favorite mangas, animes, and videogames, and the like. With a sigh, she said "Alright, then…"

The little girl squealed in delight as she let go of the woman's leg and stepped back. Layax took a breath, and then shouted out,

"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAAH! ZA WARUDO!"

She threw her hands out to her sides as bluish-white magic sparked into them. She snapped her fingers, and time froze all around the two. The Heartless were motionless and soundless, completely immobile for the time being. She struck out at the stationary beasts multiple times with various magic spells gracefully and skillfully, putting on quite a show for the child.

"Soshite toki wa ugokidasu!" she cried out, and the Heartless came back to animation. They shook violently, the toll of the blows finally showing effect on them. As they cringed and quivered, she yelled out, "Road roller da mudah!"

The Heartless then faded away, screeching, "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY…" as they disappeared from sight.

As the woman caught her breath, she noticed a figure sitting up on the rooftop. She turned her green eyes towards them and paled slightly, blushing hard.

Sitting up on the rooftop, guitar in hand, was no other than Rixon.

"Uh…" was all the redhead could say, totally shocked by her display. He'd never seen Layax do that before and, quite honestly, it scared the crud out of him…

"I-I…" the woman stuttered, feeling very embarrassed, "Dani asked me to, and—"

"Dani's not there, Lai…"

Taking a quick look around, the woman confirmed that the child was no longer there. "But…"

Rixon looked at her with concern in his eyes.

"Umm…maybe you should just rest a bit…or something…"

Dani ran into the bedroom, shouting, "Xeddie, Xeddie! I did it!"

Number XIII smiled at her cousin. "You got Layax to do it?"

"Uh-huh!"

"And Rixon saw her?"

The child smiled proudly. "Yup!"

Xed laughed a little and smiled. "He probably thinks she's crazy now. Great job, Dani!" She crouched down and held out her hand, in which Dani slapped happily in a low-five.

"Yay!"

LOL, that was pretty fun to write :)

Okay, today starts a 4-day challenge by none other than GeassSamurai (formerly known as RagnarokSamurai), and they all involve weird battle cries!

Today's was:

Layax must use the quote "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAAH! ZA WARUDO!" Then stop time, shouting "Toki wa tomare!", then strike the enemy multiple times, then say "Soshite toki wa ugokidasu", causing time to start again, then say "(inser object here) da mudah!" followed by a "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY" from whoever she did it on.

Yeeeeah…today's was an interesting one indeed XD

See ya'll for tomorrow's!
