Me: Hey, hey! What's up, people? I know it's been awhile, please don't kill me . I have so many other things (stories and such) that I'm working on right now. But I really will try to get better about writing this more often…unless you don't want me to. Hardly anyone reviews anymore, so I don't know if they are even worth posting anymore. So if you actually care, please let me know! Cause it's really unmotivating at this point…To those few who still do review though, thank you!
Sora: You all get free ice cream!
Me: Um…sure….So folks, this battle idea was sent by AwesomerThanYou. It's Xigbar and Zexion vs. Larxene and Demyx!
Larxene: (glares at Demyx) If you screw up this fight for me, I'll fry you and eat you for breakfast.
Demyx: (whimper)
The warriors step into the rink. Old rivalries flare up as the fellow Nobodies face each other. "You gonna play me a lullaby while I fight?" yells Xigbar, giving a deep guffaw. Demyx slouches and droops his head, unable to think of a comeback. "I'll give you your sweet lullaby, pirate boy, it'll really PUT YOU TO SLEEP!" Larxene screams back. Demyx looks up at her in shock. "What're you looking at?" she growls. He smiles. "No one has ever stood up for me like that before." Larxene rolls her eyes. "Just shut up and get ready."
The arena converts into a huge wooden-planked pirate ship. Xigbar glares up at me. "Really? REALLY?" I grin. "You betcha, you one-eyed punk!" Larxene draws up a handful of knives between her fingers, ready to spring into battle at a moment's notice. Xigbar draws both guns with a toothy smirk on his face and a gleam in his eye. Zexion silently watches his opponents, already analyzing them and the environment. Demyx hesitantly calls up his sitar and readies himself. All the competitors are in position. The gong sounds.
Larxene, like a flash of lightning, bolts toward her foes. (haha, bolt! Get it?) She swings an electrified fist outward, the daggers between her fingers threatening to rip the opponents apart. Xigbar flips backward a good distance, while Zexion strides to the side to dodge. Xigbar shoots red plumes of energy at Larxene immediately upon landing. She sees them just in time and steps out of their way. They whiz past her toward Demyx. He cringes and holds up his sitar, blocking them from piercing through his body. Larxene groans at her ally and runs toward Xigbar again, trying to kick him in the gut. He steps back to avoid it. She keeps swinging and Xigbar ducks around each of the static punches until he can't keep up anymore. She slashes him straight upside the jaw, her daggers slicing deeply into his skin. He stumbles back with a snarl. "Oh, you'll pay for that one, Bolty!" He warps behind her and, sticking both arms straight out, opens rapid-fire. The bullets stab into Number XII's back and she cries out as she falls forward to her hands and knees.
Demyx, seeing his ally take a hit, starts playing his sitar immediately. A circle of Water Forms shoots up around him. They begin to dance toward Zexion and Xigbar. The few that went after the Cloaked Schemer begin whipping their aquamarine instruments out toward their target. Zexion dodges swiftly and hurls the Lexicon expertly outward, destroying the watery enemies. The other mob of them is headed toward Xigbar. He shoots them down as they close in, taking out the last one just as it reaches him. Demyx gulps as both of his opponents' attentions are on him now. Zexion flings his massive book at Number IX's face. Demyx nervously grits his teeth as he swings his sitar around to knock it back. Xigbar aims to fire at the young Nobody when Larxene pops up behind him and kicks him in the back of the head. The elder member flies forward in shock, catching himself and rolling to a crouched position. Glaring resentfully backward, Xigbar suddenly disappears. Larxene's head whips around frantically. "Heads up!" comes a distant call. As the Savage Nymph shoots her glance skyward, she sees a shower of bullets raining down on her. She yells in frustration and braces herself.
Meanwhile, Zexion throws everything he has at Demyx, who is barely holding his own. Then, the ship suddenly becomes very dark. There is no light anywhere to be seen. Demyx looks around fearfully. Larxene is the only other thing he can see. "What's going on?" he yells. "One of Zexion's tricks," Number XII grits her teeth. Something smacks Demyx out of nowhere. He inhales sharply and his head shoots up, but the attack's deliverer is nowhere to be found. Larxene takes a hit next. "What do we do?" cries Demyx, wondering where the other members will strike next. Larxene grumbles to herself. There is a sudden flash and for a moment, everything is illuminated. Spotting Xigbar nearby, she dashes forward and kicks. However, she only hits air. Sending out another lightning bolt, Larxene allows the two of them to spot Xigbar and Zexion for a moment. Zexion is right next to Demyx. The sitarist instinctively jabs the head of his instrument forward, socking Number VI in the gut. The darkness disappears and everyone is back on the ship again.
Larxene becomes frustrated and grips her weapons frighteningly tight. Lightning pulses all around her body and the sky becomes stormy and crashes with thunder. The tide begins to increase, throwing large waves against the boat. Xigbar teleports up to the mast, hoping to snipe out his opponents from above. Before Larxene can join him for a brawl in the air, Zexion leaps toward her. Demyx quickly calls up several Water Forms to block his path. While the Nobody is distracted, Larxene ascends the thick wooden beam of the mast, heading quickly toward Xigbar. The gunner shoots at her as she strides up the pole, blasting several areas into splinters. She leaps as the whole mast cracks and falls over like a great tree that has been cut down. Zexion and Demyx halt their brawl to leap out of the way. It crashes down onto the deck, cracking the whole ship in two. The storm angrily hurls its wrath toward the fight below, striking the ship and lighting it on fire. The four Nobodies all dive into the ocean, abandoning the ruined battleground. Demyx closes his eyes as the cool water rushes over his entire being. Fire's natural enemy somehow lights a spark inside the Melodious Nocturne. A new determination inside, Demyx opens his eyes and holds his sitar once more, letting his hydro instincts take over.
Xigbar doesn't let the new terrain slow him down. He points both arrowguns at Larxene and lets loose. The bullets launch outward like usual, undeterred by the watery surroundings. Larxene can't dodge quickly enough in the new battlefield, so she is forced to throw her hands up and guard against the attack. Zexion throws his hand out and summons up a huge sea beast. The skeletal fish lunges forward to clamp around Larxene. Knowing it's just an illusion, she forcefully throws a handful of knives outward that cut through the nonexistent monster and cause it to disappear. Demyx begins to strum, softly at first so no one hears him. However, he gradually gets louder and louder until the whole ocean hums with a mystifying song. Xigbar, Zexion, and Larxene all freeze in confusion as the very water itself begins to vibrate. The tremors increase until the whole ocean explodes up around them, throwing them skyward. Xigbar and Zexion careen back down to be swallowed by the tide's rage. Larxene is caught mid-air by a wave and gently lowered down to the surface. Demyx is standing on a stationary wave, grinning. "We're on my battlefield now."
Larxene smirks in defeat. "Ok, maybe you can do something after all. I didn't just say that…Demyx, you may be able to help me win this battle, but if you ever tell anyone what I just said, I will chain you to the bottom of a running lawnmower, got that?" Demyx cringes. How does she think of this stuff…?
Xigbar, under the surface of the water, glances upward. "Heh, looks like Music Man decided to put up a fight after all. Let's see how long his song can last." Number II shoots a series of bullets upward at his opponent. On top of the water, the unsuspecting Demyx doesn't see the lethal projectiles coming his way. They burst out of the water and burn into Demyx's side. The water bender yelps in pain and is hurled backward and down under the surface. Long finger-like tendrils of seaweed immediately wrap around each of his limbs, holding him firmly in place. He frantically squirms to break free. Larxene dives down under the surface to face Xigbar and Zexion. Xigbar appears behind her and strikes her sharply in the neck. She cringes as she jerks forward, whipping back around to retaliate. The first swing of her knives misses by mere inches but the second lands a shocking blow to Xigbar's face. He grits his teeth and is thrown backward. Suddenly, an idea hits Larxene in the face like a brick.
The blonde woman looks over to her ally, who has wrapped Zexion up in a torrent and freed himself from the illusionary seaplants. "Demyx, I got an idea!" she yells distortedly through the ocean. "Get outta the water!" Demyx nods and strums strongly and sharply on his sitar. The turbulent waters instantly obey and a great wave scoops Demyx and his battle partner into the sky. A geyser forces Zexion and Xigbar into the air too. As they fall down and another wave is about to engulf them, Larxene lets out a war cry and aims both hands downward. The whole sea jolts with electricity and as the tsunami sweeps over the other Nobodies, the electric energy courses through their bodies. They scream but the waters drown out their sound. Larxene smirks. "I hope that hurt!" she calls after them as they sink lower into the ocean.
"Oh, I'm not done yet! We need the grand finale! THE ENCORE!" Demyx calls. Fifty feet above the surface, riding the crest of a massive wave, the Melodious Nocturne strums a resounding chord with all his might that resonates in time with a crack of thunder above. The whole ocean bursts like a firework, literally exploding into the air. Demyx and Larxene land on the ground below, water slowly raining from a now-sunny sky. Demyx smiles as he puts a hand out to catch the falling water. "I…I just did that! DID YOU SEE THAT?"
"Yes," Larxene rolls her eyes.
Me: You rock, Demyx! And Larxene too…I guess…
Sora: That looked cool and all, but…it wasn't the best fight you've done...
Me: Oh, save it for the reviews, Bombhead!
Sora: Bombhead…?
Me: Well, tell me what you thought, people! All criticism is welcome as long as it's constructive and hope you enjoyed ;D
