Felt like updating this twice in a row for some reason. Guess it's because we're almost at the good parts. Especially a certain exciting battle that will be occurring in this story. Enjoy this new 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.
*OPENING*
Let's fly to the sky
(The sun rises as Merry sails across the ocean)
There's not a single cloud in the sky
(All the current Straw Hats watched the sun rises, Luffy on the figurehead)
Let's fly to the sky. (It's time to fly around) Catch the perfect breeze for you
(The camera faces the sky as the title appears on the screen)
Paint the sky with (Let's go to the wonder world) imagination that no one's ever seen
(Camera faces back to the Going Merry as everyone went on with their peaceful business)
OH! OH! Even if it's too dazzling (Come on)
(Xion looked up and saw Marines ahead of them and warned everyone)
OH! OH! under the sun
(They all prepared themselves for battle. Marines fired cannon balls at them)
OH! OH! If it's you, you can make it! Throw away your pride and FLY!
(Luffy, Zoro and Sanji sent the cannons back at them. Usopp fired a cannon of their own with Xion, in her Wisdom Form, unleashed Triple Firaga at them, followed by a Thundaga, clearing their path)
Everyday is plain!
Real talent makes the world go round
(Going Merry sailed through the smoke. Everyone looked content as they enjoyed the sea breeze)
Deceit won't work anymore.
(Scene changed to Jaya in Mock Town, as camera faced each of the Blackbeard Pirates.)
Mayday, the red light is stopping you too
(Scene changed to Cricket's home, showing Cricket with Masira and Shojo side by side.)
Lend me an ear! And I'm gonna stick on my RAP! Wussup!
(Guthrie fights against some pirates and Heartless. One tried to sneak up on him and Chirithy knocked it away.)
"From tomorrow on I'll get serious!"- seriously cut it out with excuses like that
(Allen danced as he dodged the attacks of the pirates and attacked them at the same time)
Increase your money with your dream! Time is money like NASDAQ!
(The Straw Hats looked at Cricket's gold and searched for the South Bird)
When will you do it boy? It's now or never man! This is the moment, right?
(The crew then arrived at the Knock Up Stream and went to the skies.)
Everybody put ya hands in the air and clap ya hands like this like that
Clap ya hands everybody! Everybody just clap ya hands!
(Scenes quickly changed to different scenes. Xion and Guthrie crossed blades, Luffy's one-hit KO on Bellamy, the group trying to catch the South Bird, then finally their first encounter with the Shandia Warriors)
Let's fly to the sky (It's time to fly around) Catch the perfect breeze for you
(The Straw Hat Pirates arrived on Skypiea and were approached by the White Berets and fought them)
Paint the sky with (Let's go to the wonder world) imagination that no one's ever seen
(Scene changed to the group in the Upper Yard fighting against Heartless, Shandians and Priests)
OH! OH! Even if it's too dazzling (Come on)
(Scene changed to Xion fighting against a blonde Organization XIII member with knives and lightning magic)
OH! OH! under the sun
(Changed to Guthrie and Allen teaming up against the Nobodies)
OH! OH! If it's you, you can make it! Throw away your pride and FLY!
(Changed to Luffy battling Eneru. In a flash of light, opening ends with all of Straw Hats on Merry, facing the camera)
Last time:
"Luffy!" Allen called, getting his captain's attention. "I may have no right to request this, but if Xion does get back up, and knowing her, of course she will eventually, but if and when she does, if she fights Larxene and does something stupid and not like her... Tell her..."
It was silent, as the dancing Shandian told Luffy what he want to tell to Xion, hoping that despite what he found out, the Devil Fruit user will relay the message to their vice-captain.
After telling him the message, a smile formed on Luffy's face as he turned to the new member. "Of course! Leave it to me!" With that, they took off, leaving Robin, Allen, Guthrie and Chirithy alone.
"Do you really think Luffy can do it?" Allen asked Robin.
"He has to, or all hope is lost," she answered, with Guthrie nodding in agreement.
It was dark and cold, as Xion lied motionlessly on the floor. Slowly regaining her conscious and opening her eyes, she found herself in her dive to the heart.
"What... happened...?" she asked, shakily getting on her feet. "How did I get here? Was I training?"
'What were you thinking?' came Voice's question.
Xion looked around in confusion. "What do you mean?"
'You know exactly what I mean. That battle back there, you could've beaten her. And yet, instead, you held back. And look where it got you.' It was then the Keyblade wielder remembered what happened. How she lost horribly to that Organization member. 'Be happy she hasn't brought you back to the organization yet. Now when you wake, I expect you to go all out. No holding back. That means use your magic as well!'
"And what's the point?" Xion asked. "She said she taught me how to use magic, didn't she? What if she counters my attacks then?"
'Since when was there a 'what if'? You never asked yourself that. What is it about this girl that is different from the previous two members you defeated? She may be fast and she has a sharp tongue, but that shouldn't mean anything to you.'
"You don't get it, do you? From what you said, and from what I experienced, there's a reason why she hasn't brought us to her leader, isn't there? You know what's going on out there. Tell me."
There was silent, almost as though Voice was contemplating whether he should tell her or not. Either that, or he was taking a look at the situation in the real world at the moment.
'Your comrades have been beaten,' he said at last. Xion was shocked at the information. 'They tried their hardest, and Larxene didn't need to assist Eneru, but they still lost. Only that navigator and the boy from your past remains. I am unsure of the latter, but the former had joined Eneru and Larxene. Although, from what was said, I doubt he has much time left to live.'
Xion fell on her knees, speechless at what she was told. Everyone lost? Allen is... or soon to be, at least... dead? No... He couldn't be. She just remembered him, and now because of how weak she was, he...
"ARE YOU TWO THE ONES?! THE ONES CALLED ENERU AND LARXENE?!" came a very loud and very familiar voice.
"Luffy?!" the only human in the dive gasped in shock. How was she able to hear his voice from here?
'You seem to be waking up. Good. You should be by now,' Voice said. Soon enough, Xion felt herself being pulled out of her Dive.
*REALITY*
"What the hell have you done to my friends?!" Luffy demanded.
Xion regained her consciousness in the real world, as she opened her eyes and found herself lying on the floor of what seemed to be a ship. As much as she wanted to move, her body felt heavy and injured to even lift a finger.
"What trash are you talking about?" came a voice somewhat familiar to her. She slowly looked to the source and saw Eneru and Larxene on one side of the ship, undoubtedly looking down at Luffy from below. With them, for some reason, was Nami.
"You stay right there! Both of you!" Luffy shouted. "I'm coming up to kick both your asses!"
"Such vulgar language. Were you never taught manners as a child?" Larxene mocked, not at all taking him seriously.
"As she said, watch your tongue. I am a God," Eneru warned.
"What makes you a God?!" Luffy demand once more.
'Don't Luffy,' Xion thought. 'You'll get yourself killed.'
"W-Wait, Luffy! Watch out for-!" Nami cut herself off as she saw Eneru glancing at her, causing her to slap her mouth shut and tremble and sweat in great fear.
The lightning Devil Fruit user then let out a laugh. "I can hear the angels' celebration!" he said, ignoring the rubberman's question. "It seems like the citizens of Skypiea have learned of their fate."
'What...?' Xion narrowed her eyes at those words. 'What fate is he talking about?'
"How long do you think it will take them to save themselves from dying?" Larxene asked. "Then again, it's not like running away will make much a difference. Not when they're leaving their loved ones that still remains here in Upper Yard. Surely some of them will come and search for them. It'll be amusing to see what will happen."
Luffy was not at all amused with how they were ignoring him. "I ASKED YOU, WHAT MAKES YOU GOD?!"
Now it was the lightning duo's turn to be unamused with the tone he was giving them.
"You'll see soon enough," the male of the two said.
Next they knew, Luffy was running up one of the oars to get to them. He then stretched his arm out and rocketed himself into the air to get to them faster.
"Ah. A Devil Fruit user. Kind of like you, Eneru," Larxene compared.
"That indeed. However, he is a Paramecia type. He's not a match for me!" Eneru charged himself up for an attack. "Nothing can stand against me... because I am God!" With a war cry, Luffy shot himself at the man. "El Thor!" Eneru fired his electrical blast at the Straw Hat captain.
"LUFFY!" Nami cried out.
Xion just closed her eyes, not daring to look at her captain's charred body. 'That idiot... When will he ever learn?' she mentally questioned.
"I'm impressed you managed to dodge it. 60,000,000 Volt..." she heard Eneru said, making her widen her eyes in confusion.
'Dodge it?' she wondered. It was then she realized something.
"Julungul!" With some taps on the drums, Eneru fired a lightning dragon at Luffy. The attack clearly hit, as Luffy let out a scream as it made contact. As the attacked passed, however, Luffy still remained unfazed by the lightning attack.
It was here, Larxene also realized something. "Eneru, that boy-" Before she could finish her warning, however, the self-claimed God used his next and more powerful move on the pirate captain.
"100,000,000 Volt Vaari!" A more powerful version of the move he used on Gan Fall was unleashed.
'That's right! How could I have forgotten? Because of Luffy's rubber body, lightning doesn't effect him!' Xion realized.
"STOP FOOLING AROUND!" the pirate in question shouted, pushing Eneru away.
Everyone was in great shock and speechless at the sight of the one person who is not at all even a bit fazed by all of Eneru's lightning attacks. Heck, even the God himself was surprised, looking at Luffy with wide eyes and jaw dropped.
As Luffy charged at him, Eneru tried to calm himself down, reminding himself that, due to his Logia nature, physical attacks meant nothing to him still. Unfortunately, he never met rubber, as Luffy delivered a very hard and very painful kick to the gut, coughing out some saliva and blood.
Everything was silent, as Eneru kneeled on the ground, trying to recover from the painful kick.
"Rubber... doesn't conduct electricity," Nami said. "Eneru's attacks won't affect a rubberman! He just might beat Eneru!"
Larxene clicked her tongue as she saw a huge miscalc in Eneru's plans. "No one said anything about a person made of rubber. This changes things now."
Eneru painfully got up and distanced himself away from Luffy. "What are you? Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm Luffy," he introduced. "I'm a pirate and a rubberman."
The guy was confused with the last part. "Rubber?"
Hearing that word from his mouth in that tone made Nami realize something. "Of course! There's no rubber in the White-White Sea!"
'So of course, Eneru wouldn't know a thing about rubber,' Xion mentally added.
"Lightning... AIN'T GONNA WORK!" Luffy charged at the guy once more.
Eneru closed his eyes and muttered, "Mantra." Next thing the pirates knew, as the Straw Hat captain started to throw attacks at him, Eneru was easily avoiding each one, almost as though...
"He's predicting all of Luffy's moves," Nami stated, as the God knocked the boy away. "Luffy!"
Said pirate was now being held up by his throat with Eneru's staff. "Don't get ahead of yourself," the God told him. "I can cripple you with more than just lightning. Once I know something won't work, I can adapt my fighting style."
Luffy, gasping for air, grasped his staff. "Hitting me won't work either!" He attempted a kick to the man, only for Eneru to avoid him once more. "Damn it! He can predict my movements with that weird ability!"
Meanwhile, Eneru was listing out the things he learned about his opponent. "Lightning won't work. Physical blows won't work. Just what is rubber?" He then recalled one other fact about Luffy. "No, wait. He's a Paramecia type. I've already seen the extents of his abilities. Gloam Paddling!" He started conducting electricity onto his staff. "I have no time to play with the likes of you!"
They watched as the staff seemed to be transforming.
"His staff... He's reforming it into an edged weapon?" Nami questioned.
Soon enough, the staff was reformed into a trident. "Think of it as a solid form of lightning!" This time, as he rushed in with his newly, reformed weapon, Luffy dodged it and gained some distance from Eneru. The God laughed as he saw this move. "As I thought, you are vulnerable to piercing attacks!"
"Yeah," Luffy confirmed.
Both Nami and Xion either jaw dropped or sweat dropped at how their idiot captain honestly revealed his secret.
"DON'T TELL HIM!" the navigator shouted.
'That idiot...' the vice captain thought.
"Gum Gum Gatli-!" Luffy trailed off as Eneru suddenly vanished. "He disappeared!"
"Luffy! Behind you!" Xion heard a shout.
'A child?!' she thought in shock.
Looking behind the airborne pirate, everyone can see Eneru traveling through the gold.
"He's passing through the gold?!" Nami gasped.
Next they knew, Eneru leapt out and jabbed his weapon straight at Luffy. From a certain distance, especially below them, it seemed like Eneru landed a fatal blow on him, at the very least. But that was not at all true; Luffy managed to avoid the strike and grabbed hold of the weapon. A huge mistake on his part, for due to the lightning, the trident was extremely hot.
"That's HOT!" Luffy cried out.
Eneru laughed at his pained look. "Electricity may not work alone, but if I run it through my spear to heat it, I can-!" Eneru was once again interrupted as he had to move away a bit from Luffy's stretchy leg.
"Gum Gum Axe!" With a strong axe kick, Luffy brought Eneru down to the ship.
"You impudent mortal!" Eneru shouted, emerging from the newly made hole.
"Gum Gum Gatling!" The rubberman unleashed a barrage of punches. However, due to his Mantra, Eneru was able to catch both fists and slammed him down, causing another hole on the deck.
"It's not as though you've grown more arms!" Upon seeing and hearing no response, Eneru started to walk away.
Larxene crossed her arms and humphed. "He's definitely beaten now," she claimed with such confidence.
"Luffy!" Nami cried out in worry.
"Sightseeing on Sky Island... You came at a bad time, Blue Sea Dwellers. I am God. I can bend anything to my will. I will soon create my ideal world! A boy who comes up from the Blue Sea without a clue about this world would never be able to stop me. What do you say? Would you like to join me... and watch the annihilation of this land?" He stood at his throne and placed his hands on the orbs by the armrests.
Nami and Xion had a horrible idea of what was happening next. "Don't tell me..." the former muttered.
"Max 200,000,000 Volt Vaari!" He sent a massive amount of electricity through the orbs, which spread along the gold and activated the fans on the ship, as well as causing the place to rumble. "Behold! It rises! This is the ark which will carry me to the boundless land, Fairy Vearth! Maxim!" Soon enough, the ark was actually starting to rise up.
By this time, Luffy finally got out of the hole he was in and looked to the side, noticing Xion for the first time, charred and lying on the floor. "Xion! What the hell are you doing?! Get your ass up right now! You hear me?! Why are you sleeping at a time like this?! You have to help me beat these guys!"
'Luffy...' Xion thought, playing possum as she knew she couldn't beat Larxene.
Watching him shout like so was making the blondie in question laugh. "Are you seriously trying to get her to wake?" she asked him. "She's too beaten to even respond to you! What makes you think that your shouting can get her to even respond?"
"Don't you dare underestimate her! Xion's strong, a lot stronger than you!"
"How can you say that when you don't even know how horribly she lost our fight?"
"I don't need to know how she lost; I know Xion better than you! If she lost, then it means that she wasn't being serious enough! She took down two of your members already!"
"That's like saying taking down an adult is as easy as taking down a child. And that puppet over there is clearly still just a child. It even looks like one."
Hearing her say that, calling Xion a puppet, made Luffy angrier. "Don't call her a puppet! Xion's a person just like us!" That claim made Larxene laugh. "What's so funny?!"
"You really don't know her, do you? And you're what? Her captain, was it? What kind of captain doesn't look into his crew members?" the blonde said. "Let me make one thing clear: You're right. Xion is like me. But she's nothing like you. We're Nobodies. Special and elite kind, that is. Not like it matters to you, of course. Xion, though, is a little more special than us, however."
"I don't care if she's a fish or a bird! Xion is still Xion and one of my friends!" Luffy interrupted. "You can twist your words all you want, but that fact is never going change! She's never going back with you because she's part of my crew! Got it?!" To the downed girl, he then shouted, "Xion! Get up already! You're a crew member of the future pirate king! Don't you dare tell me she actually got you beaten!"
Listening to those words from his mouth brought light to Xion's eyes. No, more than that. She knew how much Luffy sucks at lying and that he blurts out everything that comes to his mind. Not only that, but when it comes to it, he can be quite a captain. And this? This was one of those times.
Hearing him shout those words, Nami joined in. "Xion! You have to get up now! If you don't... if you don't help fight... EVERYONE IN SKYPIEA WILL DIE!" Those words brought up a certain habit in the Keyblade wielder.
Larxene just chuckled even more. "You both really are fools." She summoned her Foudre. "I've had enough with your useless cheers. You first, 'captain'. Die!" She threw her weapon at the boy. Luffy was getting ready to dodge it, when a certain weapon was thrown and deflected all those knives. Larxene was surprised at this. "What?"
Everyone turned to the source and saw Xion standing on her feet, using her Curaga spell to heal herself. "Sorry for the wait, guys. How about we both beat these two bozos... captain?"
Seeing her stand brought more hope in Nami's eyes, a smirk on Luffy's face, an annoyed expressions on Larxene's and Eneru was just indifferent.
"Standing back up? Last fight taught you nothing after all, did it?" the organization member said.
"It taught me something all right," Xion disagreed. "Taught me that fight earlier... was one unbefitting of a future Pirate King's member."
Hearing that title perked Eneru's interest. "Pirate King? And what land does this king rule?" he asked.
As the ship rose out of the cave it was in, Luffy answered, "He is king of the greatest sea in the world!"
"King of the greatest sea? You're going to be?" Larxene asked, before getting in a laughing fit. "Now that's a huge laugh!"
"Indeed," Eneru agreed. "Now, I believe the sky is waiting for the conclusion of our fight!"
"Our's as well." The blonde female gestured to herself and Xion as she said that.
Soon enough, the ark was starting to emerge from the ground below.
Eneru let out a short laugh. "The circuits for the ark's ultimate function have been initiated and are running at full capacity."
"Ultimate function?" Nami questioned.
"The name is Deathpiea. Quite fitting, really. The name of despair which will save return this world to its roots."
"What do you mean?" Xion asked.
"Why don't we show you?" Larxene said instead of answering.
"Now, Deathpiea... Activate!" At Eneru's call, black smoke started to emerge from the ark.
"What... is that? Cloud?" Nami guessed.
Down below, the remaining Straw Hats and Allen had carried their comrades to the level above Shandora, in the same area Robin, Guthrie and Chirithy first descended down to. Robin had Chopper in hand and carried Zoro by using her Devil Fruit powers to produce legs underneath him. Guthrie had Ganfall over his shoulders, while Allen saddled his cousin on his back.
"What the heck is that thing?!" Allen demanded, looking up at the Ark Maxim over their heads.
"A ship?" Robin noticed.
"An airship, to be exact," Guthrie corrected her. "It has to be Eneru who's riding that thing. How the hell he made such a technologically-advanced machine like that, I don't know. Guess his Devil Fruit powers did the job."
"Based on it's trajectory, it's heading towards Giant Jack," Allen noticed. "That's where we should be heading to, as well."
"Lead the way," Robin told him. At that, the team followed the Shandian as they made their way to the giant beanstalk in the middle of Upper Yard.
Back on Maxim, upon further inspection, Xion realized what sort of cloud it was. "Those are thunderclouds, aren't they?" she asked.
"That they are," Eneru confirmed. "Using my energy, Deathpiea combines extremely intense air currents and produce thunderclouds! Soon, as the clouds gain energy, they will envelop all of Skypiea in darkness. And then, I can create innumerable bolts of lightning and destroy every trace of this land! And to demonstrate..." He shot up a bolt of lightning to the thunderclouds, which in turn, shot out lightning at some place in Skypiea.
Watching the damage that was done angered Xion so much, she charged at him, shouting, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
All of a sudden, Larxene came in front of her with her knives prepared. Xion brought Desert Nakama up to block the swipe and backflipped away from the lightning duo.
"Tsk tsk. No need to get all worked up over nothing, puppet," Larxene said. "Especially when those people have nothing to do with you."
"Regardless, those are innocent people down there!" the Keyblade wielder said.
"Oh pish posh. All Eneru did was tease those little angels down there, that's all."
"So being a God means you can take whatever you want?!" Luffy demanded.
"That's right. Life and earth belongs to me," Eneru answered. "Now, boy, I will take your life as well! The celebration has just begun!" Eneru thrusted his trident at Luffy, who narrowly avoided it.
"Luffy!" Xion was about to assist her captain, when Larxene got to her face again.
"Worry about yourself!" she said. Xion blocked her jab and was sent back a few feet.
"Why you...!" Xion rushed in with her Keyblade, as did Larxene with her knives, starting their own fight on the ship.
Instantly, the blonde disappeared from her sight, much to Nami's shock. The navigator stood in the sidelines where it was safe from both battles.
"She disappeared again?!" she gasped.
Xion felt a pair of kicks to her back and was sent flying to one side of the ship. The ravenette got back up and saw Larxene with her clone by her side.
"Hope you're ready," one said.
"Ready for the hurt," the other followed, as both charged at Xion again.
The Keyblade wielder used the rail as a footing and leapt over them. The moment she landed, she rushed at them and knocked one down with her Keyblade. The one she knocked down disappeared, leaving her with the real Larxene. The original quickly went for a piercing punch at Xion, who leaned back just in time to avoid it. She then backslapped Larxene with her Keyblade, knocking her away. What she thought was the original, turned out to be a clone, as Larxene disappeared.
"Too slow," sang her voice.
Xion looked up and saw the real Larxene above her. The female lightning user used her signature magic on the vice captain of the Straw Hats, electrifying her once more. This time, Xion endured the attack, refusing to submit against Larxene, especially not if it meant watching Skypiea fall by the hands of her and Eneru. Once the lightning show was over, Xion glared up at Larxene and tossed her Keyblade at her in a Strike Raid. It seemed the organization member did not expect the girl to survive from the magic, as she got hit from weapon and was knocked down.
"Well, I see you got some tricks up your sleeve after all," Larxene said. "But so do I! Lightning Bolt!" More lightning was shot out of her hands.
Xion rolled to the side to avoid it, only to see it following her. She ran from the bolt, in a futile attempt to escape it.
"Homing lightning?" she questioned, thinking about how similar it was to her Homing magic. Seeing this made her consider using her own magic but hesitated, as she wanted to try and win with her own powers alone. However, she then thought back to how she horribly lost against Larxene the first time they fought and was now conflicted in whether or not she should also use her magic.
'Why are you hesitating?' came a familiar voice in her head.
'Not a good time for this right now!' she thought.
'Nor is it a time to fool around! Hurry up and get serious with her!'
'This is me being serious!'
'No, this is you fooling around and holding back against her! Use your Dream Eaters! Use your magic! Or do you want everyone to die because of your own incompetence?!'
It may be because she got distracted with her mental conversation with her teacher, but Xion tripped and fell and got hit by the lightning. The pain wasn't much, surprisingly. However, she felt herself being pulled and was losing feeling in her muscles. Seconds later, as the attack ended, Xion just stood there, unable to move.
'What... What did she do?!' she wondered.
"In the end, it's still useless," Larxene said. "You can't do anything! Teleport Rush!" Larxene suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Xion and slashed at her. After the hit, she teleported to a different location and once again slashed at the Keyblade wielder, weakening her even further. This went on for quite a while, and Xion could barely follow even a glimpse of her movements.
"Xion!" Nami cried out.
Luffy, who had finished his fight against Eneru with a Gum Gum Rifle, a stronger version of Gum Gum Pistol, turned to his vice's fight and was puzzled to see her having a hard time against Larxene. It was then he thought back to when Allen asked him to pass on a message and started to understand that this was what he meant.
"Oi, Xion! What are you doing?! Stop holding back and get serious already!" he shouted, as Larxene finished delivering the assault.
The Keyblade wielder went on her knees, barely able to lift herself up. "Shut up! This is my fight!"
"Don't screw with me! Since when does your fight includes you losing like this?! You're vice captain of the Straw Hats, aren't you?!"
Larxene couldn't help but snicker at Luffy's cheers. "Are you still trying to brainwash her? I'm quite sure the puppet-"
"Shut up!" the rubberman interrupted, before turning back to Xion and shout, "You have to stop fooling around and beat her! If you don't, you'll be taken away! Everyone is waiting for you to return! Even Allen is waiting down there!" At the mention of the Shandian, Xion froze. "That's right. He told me to tell you something if you think about doing something stupid!"
*FLASHBACK*
"Tell her... Stop worrying about every little thing. Follow what your heart tells you. Don't think on it; act on it. Do what you always do. Don't shoulder all your burdens and pain or let other people's words affect you! Be your own person! That's how she used to act when we were doing her missions together," Allen said.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"Those were his exact words!" Luffy said, relaying Allen's message.
Even if it was a message, even if it was from her captain, for some reason, hearing those words brought up something inside her. Something familiar.
Larxene, on the other hand, just laughed at the message that was sent. "Do you really think words like that will help her? A message from a Shandian fool would help turn this around? It changes nothing! And I will prove it to you! Mega Volt!" She tossed Foudre to the ground in front of Xion, creating a large barrage of lightning to attack her.
Both Luffy and Nami widened their eyes in fear as the strike was closing in on her. "XION!" both cried out.
The attack struck, causing an electrifying explosion. The pair of Straw Hat Pirates were speechless with what had occurred, while Larxene was smirking. She knew Xion wasn't dead. Scorched? Maybe. But definitely not dead. Or at least, that's what she thought.
"How is it..." came Xion's voice, to the blonde's shock and the pirates surprise. "Even though it's just a message from my idiot captain's mouth... how is it possible that his words can affect me so greatly?" The smoke cleared, and they can see that Xion summoned out a pair of Dream Eaters, Idaten and Lightning. The giraffe Dream Eater conjured up a barrier of some sort while the latter was surrounded by electricity himself. "Thank you, Allen. You've given me the strength I need!" Xion stood, healing herself once more with her magic. "Sorry about that Larxene. How about we actually start the real fight?"
Hearing that claim irked the organization member while the Straw Hat Pirates had huge smiles on their faces, knowing that this time, Xion will actually go all out.
'About damn time,' the voice in her head said.
'Sorry, Voice. But now... time to get serious.'
