Me: Ohh, beep. I'm sorry. I have been so distracted by my other fics that I have completely neglected this. NO! CAIXSA! PUT THEM DOWN!

Caixsa: What, these harmless daggers that are an entire inch from your face?

Me: YES! I'm updating, aren't I?

Caixsa: (Grumbling) fine.

Me: Thank you. Now, here we go!


"Korrax and Onyxz! Wet down there. It's your turn." Xemnas bellowed, having reclaimed his place upon the smaller balcony opposite the main one. Roxas was still smarting from the various punches, slaps and kicks Xemnas had given them.

Well...Xemnas had ordered Saix to do that. And he'd done it without hesitation.

The two named people waved from below. "Hello! Down here!" Korrax shouted.

"Yeah, Hawk told us in advance it was us fighting." Onyxz said, currently attempting a back flip. He over-did it, toppling over backwards as he lands. He stood up, blushing slightly at his clumsiness. He then tried again, landing successfully. He struck a triumphant pose. "What about now Larxy?"

"Call me that again, and you die." Said Nymph yelled. Five people near her were electrocuted, thankfully all of them either not fighting or having already fought. One of them being Demyx, who collapsed, instinctively grabbing something to try to stop him from falling. Unfortunately, this was Larxene. Needless to say, he was unconscious before he ever let go. That calmed her down. "And no, I will not sleep with you Onyxz." She added.

"Oh well. Maybe next time." He shrugged. "Are we going to start this match or not Xemmy?" He received a glare, that would have killed if I only allowed it. But, I wanted the OCs to survive.

"Alright then. Onyxz, Korrax, summon your weapons..." Korrax soon held a Keyblade. It was an average length, with lavender coloured vines wrapped around the length. There were pink petals on the back, and with a single blade shaped like an heart at the end. Onyxz held two daggers, each with a red star on them. "And, begin!"


Onyxz darted towards Korrax, changing direction when the pinkette flinched. He stabbed once he got in range, but Korrax had recovered and jumped backwards, flooring Onyxz with the hilt of his Keyblade as the gold eyed boy stumbled past. He jumped up, casting round but not able to see Korrax.

Only the huge rose bushes that surrounded him.

The stars on his daggers started to glow red before he started casting Fire at the shrubs. They were soon reduced to ashes, but more plants started to grow. Soon, some of the bushes started to grow closer to him, one even starting underneath him. He jumped off of it when he noticed himself starting to rise, right as his magic was about to run out.

Unfortunately for him, vines emerged out of the ground by his feet, wrapping around his feet and forcing him to the ground, where more vines tied his arms and his torso down. Not that the second lot were probably necessary, but just in case...

Korrax appeared in his line of vision, considerable smaller than most due to his eye. Or rather, lack of a working one. Korrax readied a strike with his Keyblade, but Onyxz stopped him. With the last drops of his magic, he used Teleport, escaping from the vines.

The pinkette blinked, looking around, trying to spot when Onyxz had disappeared to and failing. He checked and double checked the entire arena, even sending thorns scouring over the entire place. Everywhere, except for one place.

Above.

Onyxz shouted out as he fell, startling Korrax and causing him to stare up, shocked, before the blackette landed on his face, jumping off and hitting Korrax in his stomach with his heel, winding him and knocking him to the ground. "Hi there!" Onyxz said cheerfully, if a little wearily, before stabbing down at Korrax's face with one of his daggers.

Thankfully, with the hilt.


"That's for before." He added before he saw the barriers break, then felt himself rise thanks to who he thought was Caixsa, but turned out to be Xaldin. He shrugged.

"That annoying weather boy somehow encouraged me to help bring everyone get back up here. I picked you up, by the way." He added. His voice was creepy, like normal. "Caixsa insisted on picking up Korrax. For some reason."

"Right...So...I...have to go and do something..." Onyxz said, backing away.

"Larxene?" He suggested, earning him a punch in the face from said Nymph.

"Be glad you didn't suggest that." She warned as she started to fry Xaldin with electricity.

Meanwhile, Korrax was being brought round by Roxas' Cure magic. "Thanks." Caixsa said.

"Sure. Any time." Roxas said, walking off to heal Xaldin so that Larxene could torture him some more. What? He didn't like Xaldin.

"Urgh. Thanks." Korrax said, blinking as he fought off the drowsiness that accompanied his quick recovery.

"You should thank Roxas." Caixsa told him. "He was the one who healed you."

"Yeah, but you asked him to." Korrax argued, getting up from his sitting position. "So I have you to thank." He added.

"...Ok then. If you insist." Caixsa shrugged.

"Why are you so moody sometimes?" Korrax changed the subject, to one so unrelated, one would wonder if if they were people, how could they have been born on the same world.

"No, sometimes I just cheer up a bit." He said. The corner of his lip twitched slightly. "Hey, what exactly do you do in your room?"

"Well...oh great. Would you like to visit after this tournament...thing?" He paused. "Seriously, Hawk. Have you figured out exactly what this is yet?" He took the silence to mean no.

"Sure." Caixsa said. A lone rose started to blossom in between them.

"Oh, sorry about that." Korrax picked the flower, then reversed it's growth, turning it back into a mere seedling.

"It's fine." He said to the shorter boy. "I can't believe the number of roses I found in my locker when I was a Somebody." Korrax looked down.

"Yeah." He felt a few tears run into his eyes, but blinked rapidly several times to stop them. "I bet someone like you got a lot of girls." He said.

"A lot of people wanted to date me, but I refused. Especially after...that happened..." Caixsa trailed. He sighed, suddenly finding his feet very interesting.

"What? After what happened?"

"I-I don't want to talk about it..." Caixsa trailed off.

"Right..." Korrax was depressed that he made Caixsa depressed...but no clue why. He shrugged it off. "Hey, I know a really good place in Hollow Bastion. It's my home world." He explained. "I'll show you it after your fight." He suggested.

"Sure thing." Came the reply, slightly happier.

"Ok. I hope that you are up for a run." He said cryptically.


"Vexen. Have you found him?"

I have tracked him to three worlds, and managed to block them all off. I'm working on reducing it to one world, then I'll locate him."

"Good work. Now get to it." The Superior of the In-between opened a dark corridor, then left, grinning that creepy grin. Soon. He thought. Soon.


Me: Eep. Creepy Xemnas is creepy.

Caixsa: And you are finally getting that sub-plot underway.

Korrax: Don't forget that main plot-point for that.

Me: True. You're going to have to wait a little longer you two.

Caixsa & Korrax: Aww.

Korrax: You're evil.

Me: I know. Now, I just have to figure out how I could do...

?: Caixsa?

Me: QUIET YOU! OR I'LL COMPLETELY REMOVE YOU FROM THE PLOT AND MAKE A NEW GUY TO TAKE OVER YOUR ROLE!

?: ...grr.

Me: Good. Now, Vote on the poll. Only three battles left now, and I hope to write them all soon.

Caixsa: Bye.

Me: Now, the Caixsa back story...

Caixsa: ...

Korrax: (Pats Caixsa on the back while glaring at me.) Bye.
