Welcome back to another chapter of SCP: Soaring to the Sky! Here, we have some small discoveries and a small fight. As well as the rage of a certain pirate. Do enjoy this chapter.
Now then, to the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or Kingdom Hearts. I do not own Guthrie and Allen. Well, actually I kind of do own him.

Last time:
Xion woke up from her dream- no, her memory. She slowly sat up and thought about the memories she had just recovered. All of Allen and the time they both spent together.
"Oh hey, you're awake!" Speak of the devil, Xion looked up and saw him walking in the hideout. "I thought you wouldn't be up for at least a day or so."
Looking at him, regaining her memories, she felt something more than she had before for him. What it was, Xion didn't know, but she was... so happy, enough to shed tears.
Allen was instantly worried when he saw and rushed to her side. "Hey! Are you okay?!"
Before either of them knew it, Xion pulled him in a hug, taking in his familiar scent and remembering all the good times we had together once more. "I remember..."
At first he thought she referred to a certain event that took place a little earlier and asked, "You... remember?"
"Yeah... I remember everything," she continued. "You were right. We were friends. Best friends. I can't believe I forgot about you, of all people."
Realizing that she actually remembered their time together before her amnesia, Allen relaxed. 'There was no doubt about it now; the Xion I knew is back. And now, as her friend, I will make sure she and everyone else do not know even a word about the battle earlier.'
After regaining her memories, Xion and Allen exited their hiding place and continued their way to the city of gold. But while they're making their way there, let's see what's going on at their destination.
Zoro, Robin, Guthrie, Gan Fall, and Wyper all stood together, facing against Eneru and Larxene. Nami, not wanting to get in the middle of the big battle coming up, hid behind some rubble with an unconscious Chopper in her arms and Chirithy by her side. Before they got to this point, Robin, Guthrie and Chirithy had an unpleasant meeting with the god and blonde Organization member, especially with the latter. So to say, she had said something that was quite unpleasant and insulting to hear.
*FLASHBACK*
Just as Robin was looking at the tracks, Chirithy sensed something, as did Guthrie, and the two turned to the source.
"We got company," the latter warned.
Robin turned as the person, or rather God, in the vicinity started to chuckle, tossing an apple up and down in one hand.
"Isn't it amazing? Even after being shot up into the sky, the city of Shandora still majestically exists in this way." He chuckled again as the trio looked suspiciously at him. "Even if it is a city that everyone knows about, how could it show itself if it is covered by clouds? I'm the only one who could see it. I discovered it. The former gods never even noticed."
"And who are you?" Robin asked him.
"I'm God," he answered with a sly grin.
"So he's Eneru..." Guthrie understood, turning himself to him.
"Guess that explains my fur going on ends," Chirithy muttered, for some of his hair on his head was started to fray upwards.
Eneru bit into his apple as he commended Robin, "You're quite intelligent. One might guess that you're an archeologist from the Blue Sea world, based on how fast you discovered these ruins. It took us several months to find the same thing. I guess it's easy when you can read the letters on the ruins, right?"
"Even if he is God, getting complimented by this guy just doesn't settle right," Guthrie muttered.
"Unfortunately, the gold you are looking for isn't here anymore. I'm afraid you are a few years too late for that."
"Seriously?! No gold?!" Chirithy exclaimed.
"I take it you're the one who removed it?" Robin asked the 'God'.
"Gold is a wonderful thing to have, and it suits me well, don't you think?" Eneru stated slyly.
"Why would a god want gold? What's the point?" Guthrie asked. "Surely, if you are God, then I'm sure there are other things that would peak your interest than something so petty to deities."
Eneru laughed at this. "It seems you can't comprehend just how special gold is to me. What makes you think you can understand the desires of God?"
"Just what I read from books, that's all," the Keyblade wielder shrugged. "Deities could consider other such things more valuable than gold. I thought you were similar in that sense."
"Well, I do admit there is something far more valuable than gold. But gold is required to reach what I am searching for."
"I see..." Guthrie muttered.
'So there was more to him than just the gold,' he thought. 'Was he trying to buy something? Was there something or someone that required gold to obtain? Why couldn't he use his god powers to obtain it instead?' There was so much he couldn't understand, but he needed to prod this guy more of what he was trying to achieve. However, he had to be careful, since this guy was pretty much the 'god' of Skypiea.
"So if you have all the gold, I guess that means you took the gold bell that was here," Robin assumed, finding an opening between the two.
This new piece of information surprised Eneru. "There was a golden bell?" The fact that he didn't know surprised the trio. That meant he didn't have it, either. Eneru polished off his apple. "Well now, I'm very intrigued. What did you learn by reading those letters on the bell?"
Robin sighed as she answered, "I never got to read them. If it wasn't here when you arrived, then I guess it doesn't exist. I guess the stories of Shandora and the golden belfry were just another legend. It's a shame I'll never be able to lay my eyes on it." Guthrie and Chirithy looked to her. She truly believed the bell was here before. Could she be giving up, or was this a way to make Eneru believe it was a fake so she could search for it more?
"No, wait," Eneru retorted. "It's... actually right here. It's here in the sky. When this land was shot into the sky four hundred years ago. Or rather, when God-Land was born, it was said that the chimes of a bell could be heard throughout the nation. The elders of this land called it 'the island's singing voice'. But it was really the bell. A bell made of gold. Truly amazing."
Just then, there was a cackle from right above the trio, and they looked up to see a new person with a familiar attire sitting on the edge of the archway. She was a young woman with blonde hair, with 'antennae' pieces of hair protruding from on top.
"Too bad. It seems no one here has that bell," she stated sadistically. "Not that you three would need it. Why would you? It's not like a bell would be helpful to you, unless you want to start getting some rings in your ears."
"That coat..." Robin realized. "It's like Demon-san's."
"She's a member of the Organization that's hunting Xion!" Chirithy realized.
"So that's one of them, huh?" Guthrie realized, getting cautious as he looked up at her.
"Come now, Larxene. It may not be of much use to you and your 'Organization', but a bell of that magnificence could only befit a God, like myself," Eneru pointed out.
"Whatever. I'm not here for any stupid bells or gold," Larxene huffed, standing up on the archway. "All I'm here for is the brainwashed puppet these idiots made part of their 'crew'."
"'Puppet'? Are you talking about Xion?" Robin asked.
"And what the heck do you mean 'brainwashed'?" Chirithy asked.
Larxene cackled again, then asked in a childish tone, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you really think she's real? She doesn't even have a heart."
"That's enough!" Guthrie barked, whipping out his Keyblade. "I don't care what you are talking about, but you clearly don't know anything about Xion. She has a heart, and I know it!"
"Ooh, so you wield a Keyblade, too, huh?" Larxene asked in an intrigued voice. "I guess the rumors were true that there was some sort of 'guardian' for that puppet."
"Man, they catch on, quick!" Chirithy stated, shocked they knew.
"Stop calling her a puppet!" Guthrie growled. "She's a living person!"
"Oh, this is rich! Do you honestly believe she's actually the same as you?" Larxene cackled, then went into a sarcastic tone like she was talking to them like children. "Aw, it's just so sad that you guys are too dense to realize what she really is."
'What she really is?' Robin questioned, surprised. 'Could this mean that there's more to Demon-san than what we know?'
*END OF FLASHBACK*
'Xion's not a puppet,' Guthrie thought. 'She's her own person! I'm going to beat that into that Organization chick!'
"Welcome, splendid survivors!" Eneru greeted. "I'm glad you've made it this far. I'll praise you for that." His smirk grew a little as he checked the survivors present. "Well, I'm just having a little fun. This is a survival game to see how many people out of eighty-six, including me and Larxene, are standing three hours after you all entered this island. There're participants who entered in the middle of the game, but I'm allowing that as well."
"Our guess is that there will be ten survivors. But by the looks of things, there are fewer survivors than accounted for," Larxene said.
Nami, still hiding and covering her mouth, looked over to the group. 'Ten? Zoro, Robin, Guthrie, Weird Knight, Bazooka-guy, Eneru, that blonde girl, and Chirithy. That's eight, less than ten. Oh, but wait. If they include me, that makes nine. Did they notice me?'
"You're wrong, Larxene," Eneru said, to everyone's confusion, for they all counted there were less than ten. "Though they are not here at this moment, there are still two more survivors. In three minutes, the three hours will be up, and we will be left with eleven people. That won't do at all, would it?"
Everyone widened their eyes when they heard him say that. It didn't take the Straw Hat Pirate members long to realize who he meant.
'Xion and Allen!' Zoro thought.
'Those two are still alive?!' Robin wondered.
'What's taking those two so long if they're still alive?' Guthrie questioned.
'Xion and Allen are still here?!' Nami said, slightly hopeful, especially for their vice captain. She then flinched as she realized, 'Wait! He knows I'm here!'
"Since I agree that there will be ten people left, it is considered a God's prophecy. And since God is absolute, he cannot fail," Eneru continued. "So tell me. Who will die? Will you fight each other? Or shall we take care of the choosing?"
"Personally, I'd love to kill you off right now. But that'd be ending this game early, and I was actually enjoying playing this," Larxene said.
Zoro turned to his standing crew members. "What are you gonna do?" he asked.
"I'm not going to be the one," Robin answered.
"Nor I," followed Guthrie.
"Me neither," the three-sword-style swordsman agreed.
"I won't accept that either," Wyper said.
"I, too, firmly refuse," Gan Fall said.
The five then turned to Nami and Chirithy. The two panicked when they all turned to her and the navigator quickly said, "Hey, hold on a sec! I-!" She cut herself off as she saw the fighters turning back to Eneru and Larxene, pointing their weapons at them, or in Robin's case, preparing herself to use her Devil Fruit powers.
"So YOU die!" they declared.
Both lightning users let out a laugh at their claim.
"You want us to die?" Larxene asked, before going back to a laughing fit.
"Do you guys hear yourselves?" Eneru questioned, also continuing to laugh.
While the five were glaring at the two, Chirithy was looking on with a hopeful look, mainly that Guthrie will be able to take down either the God or the Organization member. Nami, on the other hand, can see that the two must be really strong for them to be laughing as such.
Eventually, the two finally stopped laughing.
"Just what you'd expect from this game's survivors," Eneru stated. "However, it seems you don't realize who you're' talking to."
"Forget Eneru, since he's your God, but me? You clearly don't know me and have underestimated me," Larxene said. "Let's see what we have here. We have, an old fool who wishes for happiness in Skypiea, a single-minded warrior who wants his 'homeland', thieves from the Blue Sea who are after gold." None of them responded to her words, knowing she was trying to rile them up.
"There are many hardships in this world, so I don't care what my lambs wish for," Eneru continued. "But... this nation has a fundamental problem."
That made Gan Fall snap a bit. "If you have time to sprout such nonsense, tell me where is the Divining Squad! What is your goal?!"
"The return of His Majesty, Gan Fall." The answer left the sky knight confused. "After his visit, God returns to his rightful place."
"Return? Are you saying you're leaving Skypiea?"
"That's right. I've a place to return to. It is a place regarded as God's home by the people on the sky island where I was born. People call it 'Endless Vearth'. There, the ground extends as far as the eye can see. It is precisely the dream world that I seek! This Endless Vearth is a land befitting me! Fighting over Upper Yard... such small Vearth... is a petty triviality." He faced the group. "Listen. The root of your conflicts lies in a deeper place. Think about it carefully! It was born in the sky, though it is not a cloud. It lives in the sky, though it is not a bird. A nation rooted in the sky... This nation itself is an utterly unnatural existence! Soil has a place to return to. So do people and God."
It didn't take them long to realize what he meant and were in disbelief.
Larxene noticed their looks. "Oh come now. This shouldn't be at all that surprising. What comes up, must come down. Hard."
Everyone widened their eyes at the statement.
"Are you planning to wipe out this nation?!" Gan Fall demanded.
"That's just natural," Eneru casually answered.
"Don't be conceited, Eneru! The term 'God' is just a title used to refer to the leader of this nation! The real God does not live in the human world!"
"So you say at least," Larxene said. "Oh, and by the way, you ask about the Divining Squad earlier, correct? Hmm... How to put this? Remember when Eneru said that there's currently only eleven of us left? What do you think happen to that squad?" She licked her lips as she asked that question, a wicked grin on her face.
Gan Fall paled at the reference.
"It's not like I wanted to hurt them," Eneru said. "When I told them of my plan, they all challenged me with angry looks on their faces!"
If he was angry before, the Sky Knight was now enraged at what Eneru had confessed. "They all have family on Angel Island!"
"Yes I know. And I shall bury them as well."
"Are you... a devil?!" Gan Fall couldn't take any more of the heartless man and charged in with his spear. He ran through him... only it was in literal terms, as Eneru became lightning.
Getting behind the old guy, the Devil Fruit user charged up for his own attack. "Five million... ten million... twenty million...! Twenty Million Volt... Vaari!" Next thing everyone knew, Gan Fall was getting horribly electrocuted. "There's only one God in this world. That god... is me!" Eneru claimed, as the defeated Gan Fall fell unconscious and burnt.
Larxene laughed at the man's misfortune while everyone else stayed on guard.
"A Devil Fruit's power?!" Zoro guessed.
"It's probably the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!" Wyper informed.
"If I'm not mistaken, among the many kinds of powers, it's one of those said to be 'invincible.' The power of lightning!" Robin explained.
"Damn it. Then we're at a disadvantage here, aren't we?!" Guthrie asked.
"Well, it's the time prophesied," Eneru said. "Now... there are ten! I'm glad you've survived! Now, I shall bring you along with me! To the dream world I'm setting off to! The Endless Vearth! I shall bring you all with me! There, I will build an indisputable 'Nation of God'! The only ones who can live are the chosen ones here!"
"What's that guy talking about?!" Nami questioned, not believing what she was hearing.
"Those subordinates of mine, who couldn't even handle a short survival game, will only lower the nation's stature."
"He means his own allies?!" Chirithy asked, not believing how little he thinks of the people who fought for him.
"...And, what would you do if we refuse?" Robin questioned Eneru. This drew quizzical looks from him and Guthrie, a narrowed-eyes expression from Larxene, and cause Nami to be startled at her daring.
"Refuse?" Eneru echoed. "But why? Why refuse to join me? If you don't join, you will fall into a bottomless pit, along with the rest of this unnatural nation."
"I have no doubt you can easily destroy the entire upper yard in one fell swoop..." Robin understood, hiding her eyes underneath her hat. "But if you destroyed all this, won't you be destroying something else you cherish?"
Eneru realized what she was getting at. "Do you mean the golden bell?"
"Yes, that's right." Wyper narrowed his eyes at this. He knew something about this golden bell, as well.
"You mean the one that was told on that wall?" Chirithy asked. "But I thought she said-" He was interrupted by Guthrie waving a hand down towards him, looking not at Robin, but at the two enemies before them. She was clearly trying to play mind games by adding in the bell.
"Oh, please, not that thing again," Larxene sighed in annoyance. "You seriously are fixated on that bell. Why is that so important?"
At this, Eneru chuckled at this. "Now, now, Larxene. It may not be important to you, but you clearly don't see how important such an artifact is to me. Besides, after looking at your travels across Skypiea, I know where it is."
Robin and Guthrie were startled at this. How could he know? They backtracked to all of their journey to the city of Shandora. There was no gold bell at all throughout the place, and Eneru certainly didn't see it when he scrapped up every piece of gold here. That could only mean it was in a place neither one of them ever checked. And there was one hypothesis that Robin came to when looking at the giant beanstalk that was Giant Jack; it was up at the top. At the very top of the beanstalk, out of everyone's reach.
"That's right. I know what you're thinking," Eneru stated, looking to giant beanstalk in the distance. "And it won't be long before I have the bell. You seem surprised. Did you really think you, a mere human, could get the better of me? How foolish of you." He raised a finger, making it electrify intensely.
"ROBIN!" Nami exclaimed in horror, seeing what was about to happen. Robin stood there, paralyzed.
"There's nothing I hate more in this world than a cold, calculating woman." Eneru fired off his pointing finger in a stream of lightning, aiming for Robin.
"Spark Blast!" Guthrie unleashing three balls of electricity, which started to connect arcs of lightning onto each other, forming a rotating ring. It got in the path of Eneru's attack and caused an explosion of electricity. Zoro and Wyper endured the shockwaves, while Robin skidded backwards, and Chirithy tumbled to a ruined wall. Eneru was unfazed, but looked at Guthrie stepped in between his path to Robin, glaring at him. "Robin's brains are pretty special. I'd hate to have them fried because of your over-eccentric ego."
Eneru frowned at this. He read Guthrie was gonna use that attack, but he didn't know what it would do or if it would work. His Mantra could only tell him so much, after all. All Guthrie did was just hoped the attack he unleashed for the first time could save Robin, and the result was a yes.
Guthrie readied his Keyblade. "If you have a problem with my crew members, then you have a problem with me! I'm their counselor, after all."
Zoro had to huff a smirk, since he had not seen Guthrie become this serious since he tried attacking them back in Mock Town.
"What deplorable rubbish," Eneru stated, ready to fight him.
"Hold on, sparky," Larxene interfered, leaping in front of Eneru. "I want to be the one who teaches this child not to mess with things far to great for him to handle. Besides... something about this kid irks me." She pulsed with black electricity, which circulated to her fingertips. From them, she summoned French-style knives, Foudre, two sets of four in between each of her fingers. She held them at the ready, as Guthrie fixed his glare at her, ready to face her instead of Eneru.
"Fine then. This should be quite the show," Eneru smirked, getting on another ball cloud to go higher into the air. "A battle to see who will be the last survivors of this game. I am intrigued to see who would be the victor."
"Do you think Guthrie can do it?" Nami asked Chirithy as he shook his head in recovery.
"I'm pretty sure Guthrie can handle it. This was what he was meant to do, after all," the cat-like Spirit answered. "Guthrie was sent to this world in order to become Xion's guardian, and to protect her from the people who intend to hunt her down and capture her. That's what he was made to do; to fight people like this girl from the Organization!"
"I don't have time for this!" Wyper growled, ready to fire his bazooka at Larxene. "I came to kill Eneru, and this battle's a waste of my time!"
This sign of offense was not ignored by the Savage Nymph, who smirked slightly. She then suddenly vanished in a bolt of electricity. Wyper looked about, then got struck hard by a pair of kicks, sending him crashing into the ruins behind. It was not just the speed of the attack that was startling, but rather that there was two of Larxene.
"What the-?! Two of her?!" Nami asked in horror.
"She duplicated herself!" Chirithy gasped.
Guthrie was surprised as both of the Larxene laughed simultaneously.
"What's wrong?" one of them asked.
"Feel like you're seeing double?" the other followed.
"Need a hand?" Zoro asked, ready to draw his swords.
"No! I got this!" Guthrie answered, charging at the two clones. He tried to attack the two of them, but they both vanished before he made his swing. One reappeared with a thrust of her knives, but Guthrie reacted in time, blocking the attack. He was then struck by a kick from the other clone, causing him to tumble to the ground, before skidding to a halt on his feet.
"Robin, I can't fight her at my fullest without dealing some collateral damage to the ruins!" he called out. "Sorry, but is that okay with you?"
"Why are you getting her permission?!" Chirithy demanded from his spot with Nami. "Just go all out!"
"It's okay, Guthrie. It may be unfortunate, but I suppose there's too much at stake," the archeologist assured him.
Both of the Larxene clones laughed at this, then one of them asked as she drew close to Guthrie, "Aw, is the poor little boy afraid of damaging these decrepit ruins?"
Guthrie swung his Keyblade, but she vanished as the other one appeared over him, landing on his head and bouncing off of him, causing him to collapse to the floor.
"Who cares about a little destruction here and there?!" one of the clones stated. "Not that it will matter, since I'll mop the floor with you, no matter what!" She disappeared and reappeared in front of Guthrie, unleashing an axe kick. However, the Keyblade wielder caught the leg, startling her.
"It does matter, as history is something that needs to be preserved," he growled, looking up at her. "Someone like you wouldn't understand that, though." He swung Larxene over his head, slamming her into the ground behind him. He then sensed the other clone appear to attack him with her knives, but he dodged the jab, grabbed her wrist and swung her into her clone. The two merged back into one person as they tumbled along the ground, and flipped back onto their feet again.
"Strike Raid!" Guthrie spun his Keyblade at Larxene, who looked up in time to unleash a bolt of electricity to block the attack. He called back his weapon as Larxene charged at Guthrie, cloning herself into five characters, all who unleashed a charging jab with their knives. The Keyblade wielder reacted by leaping over the oncoming knives-wielding girls, landing on the ground as he turned to see the Larxene clones vanish, leaving one remaining.
"Gotta say, I'm disappointed," she stated. "You aren't even half as good as I thought you would be."
"Well, that's your opinion, not mine," Guthrie growled. "Aeroga!" He unleashed a blast of wind from his Keyblade, hitting Larxene and making her falter, but not enough to cause her to be still, as she vanished and reappeared above the range of the magic, throwing down her knives at Guthrie. He was able to react in time to avoid getting hit by them.
'She's dangerously fast!' Guthrie noticed, avoiding several Thunder spells from his opponent. 'She clearly uses speed, duplication and Thunder magic to get at me. Not to mention her sass is also a weapon. Fortunately, I'm practically immune to the latter!'
Larxene dashed at Guthrie again, who decided to take the direct approach himself, using Ice Dash to meet her attack. There was a collision of electricity and frosted wind that shot into the air.
Off in the distance, Xion and Allen turned to see the rising swirl of elements off in the distance. "Do you see that?!" Allen asked Xion.
"My guess is that Guthrie's over there fighting," the black-haired Keyblade wielder assumed. "We have to go see what's going on!" The two made a mad dash to where the others were, both friends and foes.
Back in the fight, Guthrie was parrying in the air as best as he could against Larxene's relentless attacks with her clones. She threw her daggers at him at one point, and one grazed his left cheek, causing blood to seep.
"Damn, this woman is quick!" Zoro grimaced, trying to watch the battle.
"I don't know if Guthrie can keep up with her!" Nami stated, still holding onto Chopper as she watched.
'Right. Let's match speed with my best fast attack!' Guthrie decided.
"Sonic Blade!" He went into a full-on dash at Larxene, who couldn't dodge in time what with the speed he came in at. Guthrie didn't stop there as he continued to make mad dashes at Larxene, while she tried countering with jabs and thunder. But no matter the pain Guthrie was dealing with, he kept powering on through. Finally, with one definitely attack, he sent the Savage Nymph to the ground.
Though he was battered and exhausted, Guthrie felt a surge of energy like the one he felt before. "Right!" he declared, grabbing his Keyblade in both hand as he fell towards Larxene. "Finish Command: Rising Rock!" He spun about as he fell, making his Keyblade glow an orange color, then the moment he hit the ground, he slammed his Keyblade as hard as he could onto Larxene, causing her to fly in pain. She tumbled towards the ruined temple, crashing into it and creating an explosion of debris.
"He got her!" Chirithy cheered.
Zoro grinned at the amazing attack he pulled off to finish his foe. Wyper, who had watched most of the battle, was frowning at Guthrie, wondering where he got this power.
Robin looked at the damage Guthrie did to the ruins, slightly mentally pained by it, but knew he had to go all out to finish the Organization member. However, even though she should be happy that the blonde was defeated, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy for some reason, almost as though the fight wasn't over, despite what it seemed. As she waited to see what happened to Larxene, she felt the hair start to tingle a bit as she felt a familiar electricity form above her. She looked up and was horrified to see Eneru with a palm aiming down at her.
"You didn't think I could forget your judgement?" he asked with a smirk. "All of my choices are absolute, and without question."
Chirithy, Nami and Zoro were in shock to see what was about to happen. Guthrie turned in time to see the horror that was about to be dealt onto Robin. "No!" he shouted, ready to come to her.
However, he, too, felt a presence, as a unscratched, unharmed Larxene appeared behind him, her knives ready.
"El Thor!" Eneru unleashed a powerful beam of electricity, impacting the painfully shrieking Robin, the silhouette of her body seen through the beam.
"Lights out, kid." the Savage Nymph growled, unleashing her knives. "Mega Volt!" Guthrie gagged in pain as he felt the knives strike his back. Next thing everyone knew, a barrage of lightning struck him, electrocuting him to the bone as well.
Allen and Xion climbed over some ruins and arrived just in time to see a horrific sight. A charred Robin and a back-stabbed charred Guthrie fell to the ground. Zoro immediately reacted, racing towards Robin and catching her underneath her shoulders, her hat falling to the ground nearby. Guthrie fell face-forward, the knives on his back vanishing in sparks, returning to the grinning Larxene's hands.
Chirithy fell onto his butt, petrified at what took place. Guthrie had lost to the Organization member. He could feel Guthrie wasn't dead, but the damage he took was enough to knock him down for a good while. Still, the fact was that Guthrie failed to defeat her, and that Robin was also defeated by Eneru.
"That was too dangerous, boy," Larxene said playfully. "You were just so close."
Zoro gave an intense glare at Eneru. "How could you...?!"
"I can... because I'm God," the lightning-wielding man answered with a smirk.
Allen was horrified. "No... Eneru and that girl just..." He looked down, seeing Wyper getting back up onto his feet again, his teeth gritted and his gaze set on Eneru.
However, he felt a dreadful rage circulating to his side. He turned to see Xion stand up on top of the ruins, in full view of everyone's sight. She glared down at Eneru and Larxene, who she could tell was yet another person, like Luxord and Lexaeus, who was sent to try and take her. However, the way she felt and the way she witnessed two of her friends down for the count, plus how many others were bested by this 'god' and Organization member, they would be lucky to even tug on her coat.
She inhaled deeply and roared out, "DAMN YOU!" Her scream was loud and long, almost quaking the ground at the shockwaves. Nami, Zoro and Wyper all looked up, fearfully knowing who that was who screamed.
Eneru veered his eyes up at her, and Larxene looked almost casually at Xion, standing high above them. A smirk formed on her face. "There's our little puppet. Time for OUR little game of cat and mouse to come to an end."
