Caixsa: Sorry, but the author isn't here yet.
Leixym: Yeah, so go and enjoy the story.
Cloudx: Note, there is a competition.
Maylenex: Details below.
If all else fails I could get a job in the postcard business... Caixsa was sitting alongside Axel and Xion on the top of the clock tower of Twilight Town, looking out at the perpetual sunset.
"So how was your mission Cai?" Xion asked. The blond had gone with Agrabah with Leixym and Lavonax to take out a Zip Slasher.
"Quite well. Until we found that Dark Follower anyway..."
"Oof, those guys are tough..." Xion shuddered, remembering the one the and Roxas took out.
"Did I miss anything?" Roxas asked, stepping out of a Dark Corridor.
"Nothing much..." Axel said. "Cai fought a Dark Follower."
"Ouch. That must have been tough..." The Key of Destiny commented.
"Not really. Me and Leixym used a water-lightning combo..."
"Nice." Axel had his eyes closed, picturing the scene.
"Then Lavonax took out the Zip Slasher in one hit." They looked at him skeptically. "Don't you remember her fight with Leixym?"
"True..." Axel thought about something for a minute. "Let's try not to get on her bad side..."
"I concur." Caixsa stared off into the sunset.
"Man, it's getting late."
"Sure is..."
I wonder why he isn't here... Caixsa thought, staying sat down as Xion formed the Dark Corridor that would return them to the castle.
"Ladies, gentlemen and undecided!"
"Hey!" Marluxia was offended, to say the least.
Xemnas looked around worked. XXII was taking full note of the meeting and, despite being so far away, he could see the utterly emotionless face. "We have a new member..." Everybody looked down, seeing a figure on the platform.
"Again?" Zoxey muttered.
"Number XXX, Exneri." The figure on the platform pulled down her hood, revealing a lightly tanned face and blue and blond hair, ending at her shoulders.
"No way..." Leixym breathed. "Irene?" She portaled to the platform.
"Ly?" The voice seemed to come from everywhere but the girl. The two hugged.
"What happened to you?"
"What about you?"
"Ahem." Xemnas faked a cough. "Anyway, since you seem to know each other, XVIII..."
"She's my sister, and called us by name!"
"...XVIII, you shall show XXX around. Start with her Proof. Now, I need to talk to IV and XXII. Everybody else may leave."
"Sure. You know Ir, that's one of the few places in this castle which has a good name. Blame Hawk for that." They left through a Dark Corridor before the shoe could hit. Everybody else left, leaving behind four Nobodies.
"Caixsa, leave." Xemnas growled.
"No. I refuse to leave before I find out what happened to Korrax. If you want me to go, you'll just have to knock me out and drag me off." He summoned his daggers for emphasis.
"So I'm 'The Teasing Sound'?" Exneri laughed. "That's good." There was a sound like a squeal, so high it made the third girl in the room wince.
"At least somebody's seems to suit them..." Haxishal muttered, glaring at the two sisters as she stepped into her Proof.
"Come to think of it, what is her title...?" Leixym muttered, almost skipping to the next plaque along. "The Alluring Archer?" he was bemused.
"Well, it's gotta be better than some of the others..." Exneri started to look around the other ones. "... Graceful Assassin... Savage Nymph... Key of Destiny?" She blinked. "Those three are bad..."
"Exneri, I've been meaning to ask you... why do you talk like that?" Exneri looked at the floor, suddenly finding the image of Leixym's Keyblade very interesting.
"Well, I was in Hollow Bastion and a Heartless, a Darkball, tore out my throat." She shuddered.
"Sorry..." Leixym gave her a hug.
"It's all right."
"How beautiful." The voice was dripping with sarcasm. The girls jumped, and span to see Coerixn leaning on the wall by the entrance.
"What do you want XXVII?"
Coerixn laughed. "Nothing you can give me." He walked towards them, levelling a finger at Leixym. "Yes. You'll do..." He turned and walked away, leaving two very confused girls behind.
"Do you really think that you stand a chance of beating me?" Xemnas asked.
"Maybe, maybe not. But I will not leave until you tell me what you did with Korrax!" With that, a thick blanket of fog covered the room.
"Where are you XV..." He wasn't really asking a question, but was instead looking for Caixsa's throne. He remembered where it was and fired five copies of Interdiction at it. He listened for the scream of pain, but heard nothing. The fog lifted to reveal a line of eighteen empty thrones. "What?"
"Bad luck." Xemnas span round, seeing Caixsa in Xigbar's throne. The Blinded Weather threw himself off of the huge chair and drifted to the ground. Xemnas wiped a bead of sweat off of his forehead.
"Vexen!"
"Yes, Superior?"
"Make yourself useful!"
"Certainly sir." He focused, and summoned Frozen Pride, then froze himself, his hand twitching where his shield should be. "What's happening?"
"Simple. It's too hot in here to form your shield." Caixsa shrugged. "Temperature isn't hard to control." He shifted to a fighting stance.
"Hmph. You may have some clever tricks up your sleeves, but you still wont beat us." Xemnas growled, sending many copies of Interdiction towards the blond. They started to orbit him.
"Air currents." Caixsa answered Xemnas' unspoken question. Most of the beams of energy flew off and hit the walls, but one turned and powered into Caixsa. Korrax gasped.
"Cai!"
"Quiet you." Vexen ordered. The slight emotion that had crept into the pinkette's face vanishing instantly.
Caixsa grinned, despite the obvious pain on his face. "Now you're in for it." He muttered. "Wind!" He turned his daggers round and slammed the hilts together, a giant blast of wind forming between them. They extended, forming a weapon more like a two-bladed naginata than the daggers they were before. He began to twist them between his fingers, moving faster and faster until they were just a blur. He looked up.
Wind started to twist around from the naginata, the ring extending into a cylinder, a tornado, bolts of lightning flying inside it. It began to bend, twisting towards Xemnas, but suddenly stopped, slowly disippitating as the naginata stopped spinning.
"What the..." The blond looked up to see a thick vine wrapped around the handle, twisting round and buried in the ground. More vines started to emerge from the ground, wrapping around his feet, then legs, torso and finally his arms, stopping any movement. "Korrax?" He felt a jabbing pain in his neck, and passed out, his head lolling forwards as his body went limp.
"How long will it take?"
"Not long. An hour, maybe two..." Vexen told him.
"Good..." Xemnas leaned back. "Very good..."
Me: Sorry I'm late...
Caixsa: Who are you?
Me: The author.
Zoxey: Took you long enough.
Me: What can I say? Revision is evil.
Korrax: (Sobs)
Me: What's wrong with Korrax?
Uxye: He read the chapter.
Me: Oh... Anyway, here's the competition. First though, four people are not allowed to join...
Haxishal: Nyx's-Angel...
Korrax: ...(Still sobbing) Kirkysaurus...
Sejox: ... The Sacred Rigil...
Exneri: ... and Leixym.
Leixym: Wait, why can't I join?
Me: Your creator, not you. Anyway, you have to find the reference and quote it.
Caixsa: First two to get it win.
Me: And here's a clue, 'Legend of Ghana's Ancient Temple'.
