Last time: Xemnas woke everyone up to introduce Roxas. Larxene and Xenia left to go hunt down Luxord, and ended up taking him to the Pride Lands to left him be eaten alive (it wasn't written down, but I think you understood why they took him there). _
"This is pointless!" I growled. I was training Roxas on how to use his Keyblade, but for most of the training session, he was running away! And all I was doing was running at him! I wasn't even trying to hit him!
I threw my hands up into the air, and sat down Indian style. Roxas was hiding in a corner, with his arms shakily protecting his face. What a waste of time and valuable sleep! "Why do I have to do this…?" I muttered.
The door to the training room opened, and Marluxia casually walked in. His pink hair gracefully dancing with his step. "How's training going?" he asked. I stood up and sighed.
"He won't stop running away," I answered. The Graceful Assassin chuckled.
"I figured as much," Marluxia replied, "But on a more important note, you have a mission Xenia."
"With who and what do I have to do?" I asked. I walked over to Roxas, who still thought I was going to hurt him. I forcefully lowered his arms, and smacked him upside the head.
"With me, in Beast's Castle," he answered. Marluxia had a purple rose in his hand, and he set it on a chair. "For you," was all he said before he left in a portal.
I walked over to the flower, and under it was a note. 'Bring Roxas as well' was written on it. Oh joy, I have to train and babysit a zombie?
"X…Xenia?" Roxas asked. I looked over my shoulder at him. "Hun…un…hung…ry…" he muttered. I slapped myself across the face. Why me of all people?
I petted his spiky head. "Honeybee, you're gonna have to wait. We'll get food when we finish our mission. Now come on, I'm going to show you how I fight." I opened a portal and motioned Roxas inside. He did what he was told, but it looked like he was afraid of the dark portal.
We were walking through the dark corridor, Roxas jumping at everything that moved. This was pissing me off, and I ended up giving the poor kid a black eye. That was an accident though! I was going to hit the back of his head, but he faced me for some odd reason!
"Sorry, Honeybee!" I apologized quickly. He was holding his eye in fetal position. I crouched down and gave Number XIII a hug. "I really am sorry there Honeybee, I didn't mean to hit you in the face… C'mon Marluxia's waiting…" I persuaded. Roxas nodded, stood up, and followed me to the end of the dark corridor.
We finally reached the end, and lights filled my vision. It was daytime, actually, in Beast's Castle. Marluxia was leaning against a statue, playing with a flower. "MARLY! WE'RE HERE!" I yelled. My voice echoed up to the sky, getting a giggle from my Honeybee.
Marluxia jumped, since he wasn't paying attention. The flower in his hand dropped, and Marly faced both of us, looking rather pissed off. "Be quiet! The Beast will know we're here!" Marluxia said in a hushed voice. I shrugged and put my arm on Roxas's head. Yes, I was leaning on Honeybee.
"Ah, uh, agh," Roxas attempted to push my arm of his head, but that epically failed. However, Pureblood Heartless just happened to show up and ruin my fun.
"See that Honeybee? Leave them to me and Marly here, you just sit back and watch!" I exclaimed. I ruffled his hair and jogged over to the Shadows, with Marluxia following. He summoned his girly scythe, while I summoned Screaming Eternity.
I did a front tuck over one of the Shadows, and stabbed it in the head. It disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Marluxia swiped Graceful Dahlia horizontally and took out five Shadows that leaped at him. Even more Purebloods arrived.
A Neo Shadow jumped out of the ground and created a miniature shockwave. Jumping over it, I created my own shockwave out of sound waves. The vibrations blasted the Neo Shadow high in the air, to which Marluxia chopped in half.
Shadows circled all three of us. Roxas was hiding, well, ATTEMPTING to hide behind a gargoyle statue. "Hey Marly, what is our mission again?" I asked, slicing away a Shadow.
The Graceful Assassin spun his scythe around, slaying at least eight of the Heartless. "To eliminate the Nova Shadow," he replied simply. I sighed, kicking away another Shadow. I HATE Nova Shadows.
"X…Xen…ia?" Roxas asked. I spun around, killing four Purebloods in the process.
"What is it Honeybee?"
Roxas pointed up to the balcony. The Nova Shadow. It was just like a Neo Shadow, only with red veins instead of blue. It's not that big, but it is fast. Our target jumped off of the balcony, and landed on the stairs.
Marluxia hacked away at the swarm of Shadows. "If we take that thing out, the Shadows will stop appearing!" he directed at both Roxas and me. Looks like Roxy here will have to learn how to fight, and fast.
'Joy…' I thought. Zombie training! Seriously, he can barely say my name. I sighed and stabbed another Heartless. Can't I just kill that thing with my Limit Break? Or better yet, Xemnas could've sent someone else! Like Xiggy!
I blasted away oncoming Shadows with a sound wave. "Come get some!" I taunted. I jumped over Roxas, and slashed at the Nova Shadow. It jumped out of the way, and killed some of his comrades by landing on them.
"For Sparta!" I called, chasing after it. I hacked away at the Shadows who tried to stop me. I could hear Marluxia sigh. Not my fault I act like a retard while fighting.
Five minutes later…
"Motherfucker! Get back here!" I was pissed beyond belief. I massacred some of the Pureblood Heartless who got in my way.
So far, we, as in Marluxia and I, have taken out an army of Heartless. Roxas was simply walking around, and watching. I tried to make him help, but let's face it, the kid's useless.
Both Number XI and I were chasing after the last Heartless, the Nova Shadow. Every time we attacked it, if jumped out of the way, and landed on the other side of the courtyard. This is why I hate Nova Shadows…
Marly even tried to entangle it in vines, but the stupid Heartless jumped out of the way. When I tried to blast the damn thing, the Nova Shadow would jump on a wall, and climb up. It didn't even fight! Like Roxas for example.
"Here kitty!" I called. The Nova Shadow ran around the courtyard, with me chasing it. Marluxia stopped for a break. Roxas was still watching, finding interest in this agitating fight.
The muscles in my legs were burning, since I was running, no SPRINTING, none stop since I wanted to go back to The Castle That Never Was and sleep. But I know that as soon as I arrive, I would have to train Roxas, and ya'll know how that ends out.
The Nova Shadow would dodge all magic cast at it. If only I could stop it with Blizzard magic! I don't see how that thing can run for such a long period of time! Must have lots of stamina…
"ROXAS! FRONT AND CENTER!" I stopped running, heaving loudly from anger, and practically foaming at the mouth. Roxas ran over and stood by my side, waiting for an order. "Okay kid, I'm tired of chasing this thing around so you-" I picked him up over my head "-are going to stop him for me!" With that, I threw him head first at the Nova Shadow, and surprisingly, he took the thing down!
Marluxia jumped up and ran over to the tackled Pureblood with me behind him. "I didn't think that'd work…" I muttered to myself. Marluxia pulled Roxas up while I stabbed the Nova Shadow in the face repeatedly.
"It's dead, Xenia," Marluxia sighed. I retracted Screaming Eternity from the Heartless's brain. It disappeared in a puff of black smoke, just like the way the rest of the Purebloods do. I stood up and brushed off my cloak.
I slapped Marly. "Why did you stop?" I screamed. He rubbed his reddened cheek. "I was chasing that stupid thing so long, my legs are numb!" I continued. Marluxia chuckled.
The Graceful Assassin opened a portal, and walked into it. "Hey, I'm not done with you!" I called after him. I began to chase the pink-haired Nobody, but I tried. I looked at my legs. Vines were tangling my legs, up to the knee. I was fuming now.
"MARLUXIA!" echoed through Beast's Castle and even shook the statues. Roxas slowly walked around me and into the Dark Corridor. "Roxas, if you leave me, I swear that you won't be able to walk for the next three weeks," I threatened, but he left me.
I summoned Screaming Eternity and hacked the vines away. 'Marly's so dead…' was the only thing that went through my head as I opened a portal. My revenge will be sweet.
In the Castle That Never Was
"Welcome back," Marluxia greeted from his seat in the meeting room. He was smiling, and acted oblivious to what he had done. I flipped him off, and jumped up to sit with Xaldin. He's like my father that I've never had!
"What happened?" Xaldin asked.
"Marluxia's going to be pissed when he finds out what I'm going to do for revenge," was my answer. The wind manipulator nodded, and focused on Xemnas.
Xemnas cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Now that Roxas, Marluxia, and Xenia are back, we need to discuss about Roxas's training. Xenia will be in charge of combat training and Axel shall look after him until he is able to do missions by himself. Any questions and/or rude comments?" Xemnas obviously directed the last question to me.
"Um yeah. WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO TRAIN HIM?" I was all ready fuming from what Marluxia did, but now Xemnas had to lay this shit on me?
Xemnas smiled. "Out of every member, you Xenia are the only one prefers to use hand-to-hand combat over using your weapon," was his answer. Oh hell no.
"Listen, I'm saying this with as much respect as possible… I've tried to train him! But he's…he's REFUSING to learn how to use the Keyblade!"
Xemnas's smile faded. "Xenia, you are going to train him," okay now that was a direct order. Might as well do it, since I've seen Xemmy here kill a Dusk with a spork.
I breathed, "Whatever" and left.
Training Arena
Roxas was running away, again. "STOP RUNNING!" could be heard for about a mile whenever he tried to run away. I trained Larxene, but she was easy! The Savage Nymph was always up and ready for a fight.
"ROXAS! I can't train you when you are running away!" I scolded. Roxas looked at me from behind the crates. This is going to take awhile…
My patience was wearing thin, and I destroyed the wooden crates with a sound shockwave. Roxas ran behind another pile of crates, only for those to be destroyed too.
Let's face it… Roxas cannot be trained in his present zombie state. So for my own personal entertainment, I blew up everything Roxas hid behind, and planned my revenge on Marluxia.
A/N: Hope ya liked it! I would've updated sooner, but I was busy doing personal things. Xenia has basically no patience, and the only reason she used Screaming Eternity was to try to show Roxas how to use a weapon.
And yes, Nova Shadows are annoying motherfuckers. I bet you're wondering when Zexion enters this story. My answer: the next chapter! Review please!
Next time: Glittery Revenge
"Zexion! Come with me!" I yelled, jumping on the shorter Nobody's back. He blew a strand of blue/silver hair out of his eye.
"Is this going to end up with me on World's Dumbest again?" the Cloaked Schemer asked. I pondered his question for a minute.
"Last time was an accident! But I don't think it will!" I answered. Even if he says no, I'm still dragging him along. I got off of his back, and let him think.
"No," was his answer, and Zexion began to walk away, but I grabbed his arm. I gave him the puppy eyes, but he snubbed me, and tried to pry my hand off. But I wouldn't let go.
Zexion jerked his arm away, but ran into Xigbar. "Hey Zexion," Xigbar smirked. The Cloaked Schemer looked at me, then at Xigbar, then back at me.
The short Nobody growled and said something that sounded like 'fine'. I squealed like a fan girl, and dragged Zexion down the corridor, with Xigbar following. Revenge is going to be sweet!
A/N: There's your preview. And Xenia's theme song for THIS chapter is Not Falling by Mudvayne.
RFF (random fun fact): In her free time, Xenia plays Grand Theft Auto and even ended up trying to recreate it with Axel, Demyx, and Xigbar.
