Wow, I finally finished the next chapter. Its a miracle! slapped yeah, I stayed up late just for you guys! Meh, I've never written a fighting scene before, so please be nice. D: And so far this is my longest chapter yet. Oh yeah, who's good? 3 Constructive critisim is welcome.
Oh, and its a songfic, casue I wanted to try one. I was actually listening to the song when I was writting it and I thought it fit really well.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own KH, or Three Days Grace. But I do own Tori and this wonderful story of mine. :)
Zexion hurriedly rushed into Xemnas' office. The Superior had been at his desk shuffling through papers when the man had came in, disrupting him. "Is there something you need, Number Six?" he asked, his voice etched with irritation. "Superior," he said, "There seems to be a strange girl wandering around the castle. Did you know anything about this?" Number One grinned slightly. "Actually, I do."
Zexion watched as the older man stood and began to pace slowly behind his desk. A faraway look had settled onto his tan face. Moments later he stopped and turned to face him. "Saix is currently hunting her down," he said, "He knows that once he finds her, he must help activate her hidden power. If you find her, take her to him."
"Superior," Zexion struggled, "I think that she might have already discovered that power." Xemnas immediately demanded he tell him all that he knew. He gave a simple answer; she changed her clothes. The Superior gave him a weird look.
"Was that all?"
"That was all."

No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
'Me and my big fat mouth...' Tori angrily thought to herself. Currently she was running for her life from a rather psychotic Berserker who was close at her heels. She had been in a rather light sleep in the Library, but somehow Saix had managed to find her. Being woken up rather rudely wasn't very nice... A yell, a kick to the shin, a curse, a mad Berserker, and a very scared little girl defiantly isn't a great alarm clock.
But there was no time to think of such things. Tori needed to find Demyx and fast!
Turning around another corner, and up a flight of stairs, Tori found herself in Twilight's View. She glanced in awe at the spaciousness of the room. Giant nobody signs were engraved into the walls. Hastily, Tori picked up her pace as soon as she could hear the footsteps of another; namely Saix.
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
Boldly, she rushed through the tunnel and into the Hall Of Empty Melodies. Her feet abruptly stopped as her mind drifted into reminiscence about fighting Xiggy. Tori was to deep in thought to realize that Saix was coming up behind her. With one swing of his Claymore, she was on the ground.
A loud shriek erupted from her throat as pain spread throughout her body. A rather large wound had been deeply embedded into her skin. Blood gently oozed from it and down her back, the coat only soaking up some of the red liquid. Her breath was coming out it short gasps of air, shoulders heaving.
This is my last time she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
Saix grinned crazily as he saw Tori's blood drip off his Claymore. Somehow, the sight of it excited him. Bleeding did prove that you were alive... right?! It had been awhile since he had seen blood. Fighting Heartless and other Nobodies didn't give you that chance.
Tori forced her body up. Laying on the ground wouldn't help the situation. She figured that Saix was just nearing his Berserker mode. The Kingdom Hearts moon was still shining up in the dark sky after all. Running away now would be no use in escaping him; she would have to fight. But, she had no weapon, how would she fend him off? It didn't matter now, she would find some sort of protection.

Saix began to advance on her, sword posed at his side. Tori staggered, painfully dodging each swing. How long would she be able to keep it up?
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Demyx aimlessly wandered through the castle, Roxas at his side. It had been 3 hours since he left Tori with the Superior. After Saix had barged into his room demanding to know where she was, he had started to look for her himself, but had no luck in the matter. Luckily he had found Roxas walking around and had asked for his help. Bored, he had easily accepted.
Now they were nearing the Hall of Empty Melodies. They had already been by there earlier, but needed to head back that same way. A loud scream suddenly stopped them in their tracks. "What was that?" Roxas asked. Demyx gasped in realization. "Oh no!" he cried, "That was Tori! Come on Rox, hurry up!"
He took off ahead of the boy who stood silent for a moment before heading off after him.
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Tori could feel herself blacking out. Any second she knew that she would loose complete consciousness at any moment from loss of blood. Her head was spinning and her body felt heavy. Blood was beginning to form in a small pool around her were she lay on the hard ground. Now her breath was coming out in short gasps. Saix had been able to land another powerful slash on her stomach. The pain was immense. If only she could cast Cure...
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
Saix stood about 15 feet from the bloody girl looking rather...bored? Yes, bored. He had thought this 'angel' would have been more of a challenge, but apparently not. She wasn't even fighting back. Superior had told him earlier that he needed to fight her to bring out her hidden power. They had been fighting for 10 minutes and still there was nothing! The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.
Tori was now struggling to stand up. If she couldn't find away to heal herself, then she might...
"Tori!!"
If I go, I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
The girl snapped her head over to the voice. Demyx stood, leaning over the balcony, chest heaving like he had been running a marathon. Her eyes saw another figure come up, and felt her heart stop. It was Roxas! She could see small beads of perspiration forming on his bang covered forehead.
'Roxas...wait! That's it!'
Fully standing now, she stiffly thrust her arms out beside her, bowing her head. Closing her eyes, Tori began to craft two weapons, weapons of power, beauty, and magic. Her fingers seemed to twitch in anticipation, ready to hold the tools of choice. Seconds later, cold metal was being gripped, energy flowing around them steadily.
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
Picking her head back up, Tori twirled and threw herself into a fighting stance. Flashed of light were admitted from her hands, then vanished revealing Oathkeeper (left) and Oblivion (right).
"Heal!" she cried out, lifting Oblivion above her head. A green mist spread over her body, stopping the blood flow but not completely healing her wounds.
Saix raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected this. Within a blink of the eye, Tori was charging at him at full speed. With a twist of his wrist, he used his claymore to block the incoming attack. Tori jumped around the giant sword and swung again, this time hitting him on his side. She knew that it had barley put a dent into his health, but she continued on, blow after blow.
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for
Demyx watched from above is sheer amazement. He didn't know that she could do that. At first he had wanted to intervene, but for some reason, Roxas had stopped him. He glanced over at the younger boy, His hands were gripping the railing tightly. Each and every movement that Tori made, his baby blue eyes followed. He still couldn't believe that when she had looked at him she was able to summon his weapons.
Saix staggered back. This girl meant business now. She held back nothing at all and seemed to be growing in strength. Small whips of energy began to circle her body. He felt himself tense. She was up to something.
Tori was concentrating hard. She was barley aware now of what she was doing. Sharp pangs ran throughout her head and again she was going at Saix at full strength. The Berserker was ready for her now, and was about to block her coming attack when she disappeared from sight.
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Run for you life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Run for your life
He stopped and stared, letting his guard relax. She was gone, not a trace left. Maybe she wouldn't come back...
He let out a loud grunt as cold steel collided with his skull, sending him flying. Tori had reappeared behind the man shortly after disappearing. Sweat rolled off her brow as she flung herself after Saix yet again. Blow after blow she threw at him, combo after combo, not letting up.
Saix could feel himself losing power and stamina. He didn't even have enough energy to block or fight back. This battle would not end well.
"Is Saix...losing?" Demyx asked Roxas timidly. The short blond nodded stiffly. Saix did not go down very easily, that he knew. Xemnas had only had a few meetings about some person 'angel' thing that was going to help/save the Nobodies. He had never understood any of it at all and had never really cared about it enough to ask about it. But after watching this girl fight, maybe The Superior was finally on to something...
If I stay, it won't be long

That I make it to the other side

A dark portal suddenly appeared and none other than Numero Uno stepped out. A glance at the battle field filled him with anger and excitement. He looked over at the other members who stood beside him. They hadn't seemed to notice him yet. Letting out a huff of annoyance, he jumped off the railing and in-between the fighters.
Drawing out his sabers, he gracefully blocked Tori's upcoming and final attack on Saix. The girl let out a gasp of surprise. When did Xemnas get here?! Her mind began to swim in confusion. The keyblades vanished and Tori fell to her knees. Her body felt as heavy as lead. 'I guess I over did it just a little bit,' she thought to herself.
If I go, If I go
She could feel herself shaking. A mix of fear and relief washed over her. A body swooped down next to her in a matter of seconds.
"Hey, Tori, are you alright?!"
It was Demyx. She turned her head toward him. His face was covered with concern, but his eyes then widened in shock. "Tori..you're eyes!" What...eyes? What was he talking about?
Again she tried to stand up, but came crashing down, feeling rather lightheaded. Thankfully, Demyx caught her and pulled her into his arms. There she lay limp and helpless. Her body wasn't responding to anything she told it to do.
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Saix was still breathing hard, but he seemed to be ok. If the Superior had not come any sooner, he might have died. He was pretty beat up, but after a few potions and some rest, he would be fine in a few hours. Xemnas walked over to the blue haired man and nodded to him. Hastily the man stood to give his report. "Her powers have fully awakened, Superior," Saix told him. Xemnas smirked slightly. "Very good."
Demyx began to panic. Tori's wounds had reopened and blood was flowing everywhere. From her previous loss of blood, this time was very serious. If she wasn't treated now, she would die. The girl had already passed out and seemed to be paling.
The Superior then walked over to them, stopping a few feet away. With just a glance, he turned and formed a dark portal. "Take her to Vexen," he said. "He should be able to fix her." And with that, he was gone.
Demyx gladly excepted the information, forming a portal of his own and went off to find the Mad Scientist.
So, what did you guys think? I guess it was ok. I guess I kinda left you guys with a clifhanger. xD Tee Hee! What will happen when out heroin meets the insane scientist, Vexen?! Stay tuned to find out! 3
