Me: AHHHH!
Caixsa: He's cracked. It's been so long.
Korrax: (Brushes off a cobweb). It's about time!
Me: I KNOW! AND I HAVE EXCUSES!
Texsh: I'd like to hear them.
Me: I had this all written up, but deleted it by accident. Then I typed it up on my phone, and lost it. I got this done on Tuesday, but had no internet then.
Xirama: Hence the mass update?
Me: Hence the mass update.
Krixae looked between the three boys in the Grey Area, looking at the three lines connecting them. Cobalt blue, hot pink and golden brown.
The blue and brown practically repelled each other, the colours being so separate. However, both mixed with the pink, but the brown mixed with it more than the blue.
"I don't want to tell Cai this..."
Axel walked into the room, and flopped down on a nearby chair.
Krixae shivered. She remembered how she'd 'died', the burning smoke, the scorching heat...
She shook her head clear of the memories. It wasn't the time, nor the place to be thinking about that.
"Wait, Cai was from Twilight Town... And Liz did say something about a boy in a private ward..."
"Hi Kri!" Her train of thought came off the tracks, fell off a cliff and exploded as the thirteen-year-old turned to see Exneri standing next to her.
"Hi Ex." Came the reply. There was a small pause as The Daylight Savior sat. "What do you think of those three?" She pointed to Caixsa, Korrax and Texsh, who were at that time sitting around the other circle of sofas, one reading, to staring.
"Well, Cai and Kor are nice, but Texsh..." She shuddered. "That accent!" The sound made the other four in the room look to her, one looking annoyed, but they all turned back to what they were doing in just a couple of seconds. "Why?"
"I meant more their relationships." Krixae told her.
"I don't really know..." She thought. "It's hard to tell, really..."
"I know..." Krixae mused to herself, the sighed before changing the topic. "Do you know who found Cai?" She asked.
"Me, Roxy and Xi." Axel spoke up from the chair he was sitting in. "Twilight Town. He burned to death." He told her. "Not my doing." He added.
"Was he... in a hospital?" Krixae asked. Axel looked at her oddly.
"Yeah. Why? And how did you know?" He asked. Exneri looked at her oddly.
"It's nothing." Krixae looked over to the three boys on the other side of the room. Korrax was walking over to Texsh, and Caixsa had a slightly pained, but otherwise content, look on his face. "I'm going to talk to Cai. I have to ask him something." She walked off, leaving the two Nobodies to talk. Though Xirama seemed to be too busy blushing.
A Few Minutes Earlier
Korrax looked across at Texsh, as discreetly as he could, from his place beside Caixsa, who was at that time reading.
Caixsa turned a page.
"Go for it." He whispered, surprising Korrax. He looked at his boyfriend quizzically.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Texsh. I know..." Caixsa turned away from his book, looking into the pinkette's eyes. "Good luck with him." The blond blinked back a tear, then looked back to his book.
"Thank you..." Korrax whispered, before walking over to The Cosmic Cowboy. Caixsa watched them over his book, then stood to head to his Proof.
"Cai?" He turned to see Krixae following him. He blinked a few times, then smiled at her.
"Hi Krixae." He slowed so she could catch up.
"Sorry." She muttered. "What happened with Kor..."
"Don't be." He interrupted. "It wasn't your fault, and I felt from the start it wouldn't last..." She looked to her feet. "We were too different..."
It was now that Krixae realised that, had he still had a heart, she would have have heard it break.
Krixae gave him a sympathetic smile, patting his back.
They passed a door, and heard Vexen's creepy laugh. Both froze from surprise, then crept to the door and peeked through a gap.
"That should do it." Vexen said. "That should perfect the serum... Now, who to test it on..." He muttered, before walking through another door, holding a syringe with a black liquid that could have been ink.
The two shuffled in, curious, and headed over to the other door. Vexen had again left it slightly open, and the two used this to once again spy on The Chilly Academic.
The gasps nearly gave them away.
There was a half-circle of cases in the room, bathed in blue light. There were about twenty, and sixteen of them were full.
They held the missing members of the Organization.
Vexen walked up to one of the cases, the one holding Cloudx, and opened it, unleashing a hiss and a cloud of steam.
The syringe fell to the floor and Vexen cursed loudly, earning him a shoe hitting him somewhere painful, then collapsed.
Caixsa halted the air current he'd formed, silently thanking the author, and the duo headed over to the cases.
Cloudx was the only one who could be seen below the chest, and he was held upright by metal straps. The two unfastened him, then lay him on the floor with a small raincloud hovering over his face to, hopefully, revive him.
Krixae moved on to the next one along, this one holding Haxisal, while Caixsa went the other way, unlocking Navex. The two worked together, unlocking one case at a time, until all sixteen were out.
Suddenly, Caixsa went flying. Krixae span.
Standing there were two figures. Both of the users of Chaos. Coerixn and Xager.
"Run!" Caixsa called to her, stumbling to his feet and summoning his Naginata.
"I can't leave!" She shouted back.
"Get the others!" Came the reply. Krixae nodded, and fled (forgetting about Dark Corridors) to find the rest of the Organization.
"You really think you can beat us?" Coerixn asked, as Xager gave an insane giggle.
"I can try." Caixsa replied, preparing to fight.
Exneri: Dun!
Korrax: Dun!
Texsh: DUNNN!
Me: Ignore them. Anyway, as this is a mass update, this really isn't necessary, but I couldn't help it. I hope that you liked this chapter. It certainly was fun to write.
Caixsa: Read Chapter Twenty Two, to find out who will win...
