Kingdom Hearts Story - Larxene/Elrena
For some reason, after learning about this character, my creative juices just starting thinking of what it must have been like in her shoes... In a weird sense, this is probably my typical 'I want the girl to be with the guy she likes' bleeding heart like with Amy Rose, and seeing potential in characters like that. Namine is also a character that interests me, but I've written a little about her before. She probably will pop up in this write up, but this is mostly to go through Larxene's storyline, I'm thinking... wasn't she sort of... keeping an eye on Lauriam as a memory-lost Marluxia? Yes, she has a crush, but also–She doesn't seem to have lost her memory when talking to Sora about being 'Along for the ride', maybe her loyalty to her 'union leader' was that strong?
Anyway, I found it oddly romantic of her, even though she teased Sora about being a 'Hero complex' about saving Namine, I think somewhere deep down inside... she was trying to save Marluxia too, and just getting frustrated with it.
Prompt:
"I... I really shouldn't be going." She tried to resist, she really did. These dumb-brained, righteous union leaders were spouting out nonsense she didn't understand, but it sounded like end-of-the-world stuff...
She was so scared... but when his eyes looked so sweetly to hers, and bade her to go and take the lifeboat... She found it hard to resist her heart.
Being laid in that thing was stuffy and intolerable. She squirmed but tried to lay her head back and close her eyes...
'What in the world am I doing?' she wondered to herself, 'I should be dead along with all the other Data ghosts in there... I'm just some girl, some keyblade weider with no real significance... Why are they all determined to save me?' she felt a sense of imposter syndrome creeping into her heart.
She put a hand to it, rubbing it lightly and wishing she could hold her Chirithy one last time... she didn't mean to yell at it, it was only trying to expose how she really felt. Goodness knows she couldn't do that on her own.
She really had wanted to help him... he looked... so distraught and unrelenting in his stress... to see how much he loved his sister... she only wanted to be useful to him.
To soften time's ticking clock... she would have loved to sit there on those steps a second longer... where the artificial world's sunlight on his fluffy, pink hair still gave her real enough feelings to strive after finding clues for his sister...
"I'm a hopeless romantic now?" She whined out, annoyed with herself as she tried to lift her knees and then place them down more properly... still fidgeting.
When the machine began to whirl, a sharp breath stifled all other thoughts, and she looked around the windshield-looking capsule for any clue as to what was happening.
She closed her eyes and forced her head back into position against the steely container... 'Please, Light.' she thought to herself, 'Don't let something bad happen to him... to them... to us...' She hadn't really felt like an 'us', she was so far separated from the others...
Just some dumb girl following after her heart...
What a loser...
There was a flash of brilliant light then, she felt herself get rushed through it like pixels through streams of rays.
When she awoke, she felt weak, laying on the rocks of a cliff with rain pouring over her. His last words hung on her mind... but other than that... she could only recall the faint traces of memory... And the beating of her heart? Where had that gone?
She groaned, picking herself up and touching her head, "Augh... Oh!" she raised a hand to the rain. At first, she had honestly thought she woke in a cold sweat, but this was clearly another world.
"Ah! Ohh!" she saw some vultures swirling around her and batted them away as they tried to make a dive for her, flapping away at her swinging arms before some pebbles underneath her crumbled and she was forced backwards.
Sliding down the opposite way from the cliff, she heard the thunder quake a mighty guitar's string, her hands flung up to grip anything around her, as the vultures perched and smirked in hopes of their new, lastest meal after the evil queen...
Her eyes squinted through the rain and pain,... "Laur-..." flying a moment back before lighting struck the ground and she hit her head... blanking out.
No one to save her... no one should even care.
She was a nobody...
That's all she'd ever be...
She blinked her eyes open to a mysterious figure in a hooded cloak above her, black as the night. The sleek of his fabric shined with the flash of thunderous lightning…
'... How did he find me..?' she wondered, 'Is this... where I die..?' he stood with his hands behind his back while she tried to straighten out her blurry vision.
Then she lowered her head and everything faded to black... except for one symbol... an 'X', forever written into her mind...
Larxene woke up in her room and groaned, rubbing her eyes, "That stupid dream again..." she got up and immediately thought of Marluxia asking that odd question yesterday to her... to join him in something... a revolt of some kind. "Totally not my thing." she flopped back down on the bed, letting it jolt her a bit as her electricity sparked up to her hair, and she smiled at its touch.
"Heh... After all this time... I haven't gotten him to remember a thing." She had been so shocked to see him, rushing right up to him when he was first announced to join the Organization too... but he didn't recognize her.
It broke her non-existent heart to hear it... but she was insignificant then, why should he remember her now? Might as well keep an eye on him... What? Was he her responsibility now?
Well... he did kinda save her... at least, that one time.
She grew bitter after that. Her self-loathing came off and deflected onto others, and she became known as a prickly sort in the Organization... somewhat opposite and yet similar to her previous life.
'If he's gonna get himself in trouble with the big bad, I guess I have no choice.' she sighed and got up, shaking her head as her mind kept flopping her back to the rain, the cliffside, the vultures, and...
"Larxene..." A voice shook her worse than the raging storms of the Dwarf Woodlands, and was as deep as the abyss his heart resided in.
She momentarily feigned being cool about it, but her eyes had shaken at her nobody name being called by his dark presence...
She got up immediately, "Haven't you heard of knocking?" She waved a nonchalant hand out, "What do you want... Oh, gracious leader?" She tried to give a powerful glare to him... but her fear seemed to reflect outwardly by the smile on his face.
Xemnas gestured a hand across from himself, "My apologies for disturbing... you seemed to be just lying in rest... thinking too much these days?" His dark chuckle as he turned made her hold in a squirm... did he have to be so creepy?
"Something I should know? I'm usually not due a 'personal' visit like this. Isn't our great and powerful leader usually too busy to mess with little pawns like us?" She put a finger to her cheek, faking a cuteness to be sarcastic. "Isn't Saïx usually your delivery boy?" She then put her finger to her mouth, as though visually showing she was being too cheeky for her own good, "Opp! Too much?" she leaned forward, trying to be confident before he turned around and she dropped the act, getting jittery at his intimidating stance... after all, he was unphased by her persona...
"I have assigned him to other matters." His eyes pierced straight into the husk of her form. If she had a soul, it'd be shaking right about now...
"And..?" She raised an eyebrow, leaning back as she was getting disturbed by this conversation… which came about all too suddenly.
"I've heard rumors of a wonderful Castle... Castle... Oblivion." he stretched out a hand, then placed it to his chest, "I want someone to investigate it... I am looking for something... hidden deep within its walls..." He smirked then, "Perhaps... by journeying through it... you may be rid of your... uncomfortable... memories..." He began to make his way out, "The place, you see, takes away that which was found, to find what was taken away."
"Taken... away?" She thought about what Marluxia had lost... his previous memories... his sister...
Strelitzia?
She didn't care what she lost if she could get Laruiam's sister back...
She looked down, thinking about it...
"I already sent a party ahead of you... But I intend to have you research the power of Memories... and how they can help us in achieving our ultimate goal." he looked only with his eyes back at her, keeping his body forward... "I expect you may be interested... in what was lost..." he then walked forward, "To be found..."
She turned after him but he had already vanished... "He acts like he knows everything!" she gritted her teeth, glaring off at him. "But... this could be kinda interesting..." she grinned in mischievous delight... Deciding to tell Marluxia right away about what she had learned, maybe a good place to stake a rebellion, but she was assigned to the twerp to collect hearts today.
'UGGGHHHH, how annoying!' she tried to help him slash through some grubby heartless, hearing him go off randomly about stupid stuff she didn't care about.
Seeing Roxas and Xion disgusted her. Axel being included didn't help. It reminded her of when she had a heart, and the feeling of being with someone, a team...
Resentment built in her heart, seeing how 'cutely lovely dovey' the trio were acting. As though... a real unity was forged there.
She folded her arms, staring off at them having a little 'lover's spat' between each other when Laur-... Marluxia approached her.
"Have you given it some thought?" He discreetly stated, his beauty still catching her off guard.
If she allowed herself to blush, she would have jabbed her weapons, individually, into her chest till she disappeared.
"Yeah, and I got some good intel, too." She beamed, giving him her best devilish smirk. She held out a finger up to him, winking slightly, "However... it's all hush-hush. We have to plan this out carefully..."
Could he regain that which was lost? His memories? His sister..?
"What do you mean? Ah..." He raised an elegant eyebrow before turning to see Zexion walking over to them.
"Do you have a moment?" He seemed to be suspicious of their little 'war council' so Larxene stepped forward and poked his shoulder away from them.
"Always the loner~ What? Growing desperate to be a part of a 'circle', Zexion?" She laughed wildly loud, making sure the others in the room heard her, to dispel any idea of 'secret conversations' that may have been thought by observers like Zexion.
She walked by him but he turned around and his words halted her right away, making her upset at his comeback, "I wouldn't exactly be this forward about joining any 'circle' of yours, Larxene, I'm simply relaying orders. Our research has discovered a young girl with the abilities to manipulate Sora's memories, as well as those involved with him."
She stopped a moment, listening intently, "Go on?" She inquired, "Not that it matters to me in the slightest." She blew him off with a flick of her hand but Marluxia stepped in and she remained silent, watching him.
"Larxene... let's let the man speak." he seemed very interested, "Go on, Zexion... I'm listening..." He stared wonderfully intensely at Zexion...
Later on... She was watching Namine draw, seeing the meteor shower that would soon replace that precious 'Kairi' girl in his heart, allowing Marluxia's plan to puppeteer Sora to be in place.
"... Just a star show?" Larxene was growing impatient, what a slow burn! "Boorrrinnngg~" She put a finger to her forehead, spreading out the rest of her fingers to be dramatic.
Namine curled up slightly from her hunched posture, as though to hide her little self-insert desire.
Larxene knew all too well what that felt like... but her pain, as usual, leaked out onto others and she began to feel in a 'bullying' mood...
"You want to romance them both, don't you?" She got up, uncrossing her legs and walking over behind Namine's chair, but as she placed a hand on the side of it, Namine pulled up her knees and pressed the sketchbook against her chest... blocking Larxene from seeing it more fully.
"Hmph, kinda rude." she tsked out, "What? Can't take some constructive criticism?" She shrugged an arm up in the air and walked in front of her, "Hellloo? I'm talking to you!" she put her hands to her hips and bent down, over and across to try and see Namine's face, but she was hiding herself so well...
"Heh! Let me give you some advice, even if you don't like it." She flicked Namine's forehead, then moved towards the white window, with the gentle swaying curtains. "You gotta get a boy to feel like he's your hero if you want him to really save you from this place." She kept her expression a simple smile of deception... but her hollow hide was softly yearning... "There's not a dame on this planet or any other who wouldn't want that..." Only her eyes showed the pain of her previous life... "When a... man makes a promise to you... that you'll be safe."
Namine's head slowly came up, gently from her drawing, to look over shyly to whatever emotion was beginning to stir in Larxene.
Her black cloak swayed with the curtains... protecting her from darkness... or was it... from the light of her previous crush?
'Shouldn't I just give it up, already?' she was remembering... how she was told she was worth something... and that's why they wanted to rescue her.
"That's how Sora, even Riku, should feel about you." she turned around, darkening her expression and stoning her face into a painful reminder of her 'lack of a heart'.
She marched over to Namine, slamming a hand to her drawing, and pressing her face close up to her own, making her gasp lightly like a mouse in shock and surprise at her abrupt switch in actions and tone. "Make your own hero, Namine. Make them value you so terribly much, that it breaks their heart to disappoint you." She grinned, "Then, you'll finally have your freedom. Within their hearts, you'll feel truly special and wanted. Isn't that what you want? Someone, anyone, to hold memories of who you truly are?"
That last sentence broke something in Larxene... when she saw Sora again, to fight him, there was no mercy left standing in her way... It was as though she was becoming a Xehanort, a one-track mind and everything...
Was... Castle Oblivion... taking her true self away, too?
Was she just... leading herself further into the darkness in a hopeless chase of a heart she could barely remember and recall ever existed in the first place?
She had hoped this Castle would bring Lauriam, her Union leader, back to her... If he could just remember himself... his sister... maybe even...
Her?
When the final battle was to be set forth, Larxene returned from Arendelle, biting her nails and cursing Sora and his friends yet again... knowing she lied to just strike further fear in their hearts...
"Larxene,..."
"What do you want-!?" She was half-expecting the guitar-loser, but when she saw Marluxia she braced herself back, "Mar-... W-what do you want?" She had already steeled herself away, giving up on romance and protecting or whatever else she was trying to do before with him!
Elrena was dead. Simple as that. The past was in the-
"I'd like you to fight beside me... at the end of the world."
Her mouth froze and hung open with her lower lip trembling before closing to swallow hard and try and replay what was just spoken.
"You don't mean that." she blurted out, her thoughts becoming unfiltered. "What's gotten into you, huh!?" She turned around, trying to play it off, raising an eye to him and leaning forward.
"We once fought side by side... is it not obvious I'd want to be paired with you? Another end... but in another time." His eyes were unwavering, looking down at her in what she felt was all sincerity.
'Felt!? Give me a break!' she turned away to avoid any sign of that 'filthy love' she once felt creep back into her nonexistent heart.
Sora and his precious Kairi... Roxas and Xion with Axel... Not to mention even Riku seemed to be fighting to rescue Namine...
'Love like in the other worlds doesn't exist for me!' she folded her arms and turned away from him, "If you don't remember, I wouldn't blame you, but we kinda lost that round fighting together, if I'm not mistaken." she puffed up a cheek, hoping that was enough to dissuade him... maybe... he was better off without her 'meddling help' as it were...
She didn't mean anything to anyone, anyway... no one had memories of her to cling to... Not like how Sora chose Kairi over the implanted memories Namine gave him... a better love story didn't exist in Elrena's-
Ah.
Did she... just remember her own name?
She hadn't really ever felt her old self creep back into her spirit... if she even had one remaining that wasn't just Xehanort at this point.
She touched her chest, "You're..." then let an arm dangle down before her. "Better off without me... no one needs me... I'm just a pawn, a fleshy vessel to a madman... Better than not fully being anything, to be honest... Which is all I am... all we are." she closed her eyes before a hand touched her arm.
She had felt, before that moment, that she had nothing. Lost everything. This was the end and there was nothing left to fight or live for.
She just wanted everyone to be as miserable and forgotten as she was... insignificant… a loathsome mess.
No one need love her... for she wasn't even worthy enough to exist.
With his touch, she turned around and felt almost life again... Elrena again... as his eyes looked the same way they had when they asked her to allow them to save her...
That memory... she thought she had killed and buried it... at that white castle... when her dreams flew out the soft, curtain window...
"I wasn't asking for your opinion on your life's purpose," he bluntly stated, which took her off guard as he pulled her lightly after him, walking to their set destination to fight the dorky twerps and do their best to clash light with darkness... she guessed.
"Let... Let me go!" She wasn't really resisting... her eyes twitched because they were filling with emotions she wanted to deny, wanted to leave in the past...
He wasn't letting her forget... even though he had no memory of her... nothing to tie him to her...
Just like before, he barely knew her, neither of them did, and yet...
"I wasn't aware our partnership ended at our destruction."
She lost whatever breath still remained in her lungs.
"You and I... we share a special sort of... bond." he was looking forward, all she could see was the bouncing and flying of his layered hair... "We may not have hearts, but you've proven yourself loyal, even to the end... you fought valiantly... why wouldn't I respect that spirit of yours and ask for your assistance once more?" He turned around and even though the dirt below them was a barren wasteland... she only saw flowers and a beautiful scene before her...
She ripped her arm out of his and stumbled backwards, gritting her teeth as she looked him dead in the face, 'How dare he...' she told herself, 'How dare he pull me back in when I was so desperate to be out of it!' she just stared intensely into his eyes, 'I won't be hypnotized again!' she marched more towards him, stopping inches from his face,... but he only looked to her with a muted, almost kind expression of indifference to her little tantrum display of resistance.
"Are you coming... or not?" He lifted a finger to her chin, "I won't take my words back... I want you to fight beside me... None else will do. As you know, none of these 'vessels' are very trustworthy... at least with you... I know...
I'm safe."
She staggered back, her face breaking. "Ah..." she was his hero!? "Give me a break..." She dropped her shoulders down, surrendering to the beautiful words and man before her.
"Ughhh, guess you couldn't go on without me, anyway, huh?" she put a finger up to her forehead again, shaking her head lightly before looking back to him with a smile. "Alright, Marluxia. But don't think that pretty face will be any better recompleted." She walked by him and skimmed a finger against his hair... he seemed to follow the touch and that made her nervous, moving quickly more away and into position to fight whoever would come through this part of the maze. "Honestly... we may not have hearts, but you definitely know how to play one."
"So do you, Larxene." She didn't dare look back. Her back tensed and she just willed this day to be over with already...
So when Sora saw right through her, asking who she was taking the ride with... she looked back at him and realized he knew.
She sighed and dropped the act for just a moment, a small reward for Sora's intuition and letting go of her resentment towards him, "My little secret~" she chimed, letting him in on her true self... just for that moment... that second... Sora and her had connected.
Though brief, Elrena awakened to the sound of lightning and thunder once more. Her eyes blinked with the raindrops rapidly beating themselves in a kamikaze attempt to keep her long eyelashes down, but failing.
She twitched her hand, rolling over on her back and looking up at the sky.
"... I'm..." She raised her weakened hand, shaking from being recompleted again, and held it with her other, squeezing it and feeling her breath, her heartbeat, and remembering everything so clearly... those dreams... were now colored, detailed memories that were precious to her.
She tried to get up but then panicked as she saw the vultures diving for her yet again.
"Ah! Not you-! Bird brains!" she waved her hands in the air to bat them away before gaining her footing, getting out her-
"Ah... the ..." Keyblade.
She looked at her keyblade in wonder... had she completely forgotten that feeling? Of... being accepted by the light again?
"Khaw! Khaw!" the birds swooped down, but this time, her eyes narrowed and her rage was full.
"Stupid-!" she swiped one down, "Stinkin'-!" she spun and struck the other to the wetted ground below. "BIRDS!" she used the magic she had just remembered from muscle memory to wipe them clean out as their hearts flew up to the sky... "Ah..." She lowered her fist... realizing...
She touched her chest, "... I'm... not just a husk anymore..." Watching their hearts fly away... disappearing, she dropped to her knees, her hot tears mixing with the cool of the rainstorm before her... she was at first still watching where the hearts had gone off to... before slamming her palms down to the rocky ground below her, screaming out her frustrations, her anger, her sadness, her longings... Her keyblade getting bashed against the cliff before some rocks began to shake... as though the ground was going to move from under her again.
"Ah..! Wait, no..!" she scrambled backwards, "Not again!" rushing up to her legs, she tried to outrun the falling stones. "Please-!", 'Not when I just got myself back..! Not when I'm human again!' Her hand flexed out the Keyblade so she could grip any of the loosened rocks for stability, but it was no use...
She was falling... and this time... down the front of the mountain's cliff... not rolling backwards but falling to a forever death... her life was pointless, meaningless still... wasn't it?
"Lauriam..." Just as before, his name was the last thing she could think to say in a moment just before the end...
When a face lurched over the edge and a hand reached out and down over the cliff, "Elrenaaa!" and grabbed her grasping hands to something solid and secure.
Having rushed up the mountain, and slipping to his stomach, a familiar face gripped her hand and began to pull her up from the collapsing cliffside.
"L.. Lauriam..?" Her eyes twinkled with the flashes of lightning, shimmering at a hopeful sight of fated rescue... "W-what..?" She was pulled up, her legs kicking frantically before finally getting a footing and flopping down beside him on solid ground once more.
They both breathed hard... and there was silence for a moment... just the thunder to accompany them.
"Why were you sent to this awful place?" He asked, "The scene is dreary... No wonder your mood was so bad before." He lightly joked, but was this the time for that?
She couldn't help a smile grace the side of her mouth, before shaking it off and glaring at him, blushing... the first time she allowed her heart to express such a feeling so...
"How did you get here? How'd you find me?" He had been recompleted along with her, that timeframe seemed too narrow to find her, right?
He gasped for air, having hurried to her side, he looked at her with all fondness, which stole her breath once more. "Elrena... I remember your name... I remember you, and how we all were, once before... Together."
She remained frozen... blank eyes staring into his full of spring and renewed life... She had been killed, but he was just reborn from his recompletion...
She worried she was dead and gone when she first awoke... but hearing him call her name... was this... the meaning of life?
He began to pick her up, tucking an arm under her legs as she went somewhat limp to his hold, allowing him to carry her as he pleased. "I realized then... How in the organization... you were always beside me because you were protecting me... silently and stubbornly keeping an eye on me... I couldn't describe the wonderful joy and also immense gratitude when I came to understand that... You were looking out for me the whole time, weren't you?"
He held her bridal style, lowering his head to her forehead as her hands tightly gripped his shirt, completely overwhelmed as though he was reading her like a storybook... was this... her fairytale ending?
Could she really... have something like this? Was that alright? Did she even deserve it?
"You've been so brave for me, Elrena... for the others, I'm sure we can find a way to save them... Thank you, Elrena. Thank you." He began to carry her off, as though a prince, and Elrena couldn't deny her existence anymore.
He made her feel things in her newly recompleted heart that couldn't be put into words or described any less than-Loved.
She moved her face into his shoulder, closing her eyes before a soft smile appeared... her bitter nature suddenly vanishing as quickly as it had grown as a Nobody...
"I'm just so glad..." she admitted, in a timid and shy voice she once knew, mimicking so closely to Namine's lonely state. "That you're alright."
Fin.
COMBINED
Larxene Music Prompt (Cupid)
I don't know why, but this music video plays in my head everytime I hear Fifty Fifty's Cupid song XD
Based on my prompt for Larxene/Elrena (x)
Based on this song: (x)
Prompt:
La, la, la, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la
A blurry vision then clears as though dreamy cream clouds, bursting as a girl with her arms up over her upperface then crosses them down, revealing Elrena.
A hopeless romantic all my life Surrounded by couples all the time
Leaning her back up in an arched stretch upwards, bending a knee up as well, Elrena is on the stony steps of the data world. She pushes her knees in and places her head in her hand, looking annoyed and bored by seeing cut-off forms of Skuld and Ephemer walking by, their faces out of shot except the smiles on their faces as Skuld skips a bit ahead but turns back to him with her hands behind her back. They continue to walk off the screen as Elrena falls back to the stony steps, having to arch her back due to their edges.
I guess I should take it as a sign (Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?)
Her Chirithy jumps down a step and sways it's arms in a lower hula-like way to the 'Oh why' parts. It's on each double beat that it it switches from left to right. Her Chirithy continues to sing the (parentheses) for these next scenes.
I'm feeling lonely (Lonely) Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (Hold me)
Elrena wraps her arms around herself, before she realizes as she leans her head back that someone is at the top of the stairs, and leans up quickly to turn around and look at them in surprise.
The Camera pans up to Lauriam, who smiles charmingly down to her, hands in his pockets.
Now, I'm crying in my room So skeptical of love (Say what you say, but I want it more) But still, I want it more, more, more
The camera rolls with Elrena's turn again to have her face plant with her arms over her pillow in her room. She turns again to run her hands from her shoulders, up her neck, to them twisting her body as she sings 'more, more, more'~ till her hands are moving through her hair, gripping one of her antenna-like strands longingly, yearningly.
I gave a second chance to Cupid But now, I'm left here feeling stupid
There's a split second frame of her charging into the abandoned house with her Chirithy, implying she was following Strelitzia's image, before holding her Chirithy in front of her in a sharp cut to her horrified and scared face as the Union Leaders begin to talk, rotating the camera to them.
Lauriam looks away from the conversing others and steps forward and offers his hand to her, still a comforting, enchanting smile of reassurance.
Oh, the way he makes me feel That love isn't real Cupid is so dumb
She shakes out her hands, but he tilts his head affectionately and take her Chrithity out of her hands, placing him down quickly and scoops her up bridal style, lifting a leg up into the Lifeboat as she looks around confused, not sure why they're insisting on saving her.
Once in, her Chirithy and his face come back into view, and she puts her hands on the shield, before the music naturally swells to make it sound like light particles are shooting up around her, taking her elsewhere as she squrims to the effect, turning her head away and lifting a knee again. (Flavors of drama lol) Chirithy no longer sings (parentheses), as he is no longer present.
I look for his arrows every day I guess he got lost or flew away
Larxene then enters as a mid-shot into the screen with bright white behind her, meaning to reflect the Organiziation's homebase of void rooms. She does her iconic middle finger pressing up against her forehead before flicking it a few times at 'flew away'.
Waiting around is a waste (Waste) Been counting the days since November Is loving as good as they say?
Fast zoom out to show she's now in Castle Oblivion, talking very directly to Namine who, in her chair, is trying to lean away from her in flinches. Then it cuts to Larxene looking out the window and the camera rolling to a rotation of behind her having changed to transition to Sora, Donald, and Goofy. She looks pretty ticked, turning around to swipe the air in agrivation as the Camera pivots to the other direction and rolls in it's rotation to show her back in the Organization base watching Roxas, Xion, and Axel walking along and conversing in the homebase as friends together.
Now I'm so lonely (Lonely) Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (Hold me)
She holds herself again, looking behind her to see Marluxia off and doing his own thing, standing around as she pouts and swipes her head away.
Now I'm crying in my room So skeptical of love (Say what you say, but I want it more) But still, I want it more, more, more
Once again a swinging cut on her head's spinning about to show she's fallen onto her Organization bed, mimicking the earlier scene as Elrena, but having her head to the side as she turns her body to lay her back against the whiteness of everything, looking defeated in her love-sickness. Giving up, she grins maliciously and lets her electricity shock around her on the bed, turning and twisting much like her earlier scene with her hands grabbing her head and then moving up to stretch. Symbolic of her dip into the insanity of working as a Nobody and losing her true self in it's mayhem and mess. (More dramatic allure lol)
I gave a second chance to Cupid But now, I'm left here feeling stupid
A electric bolt transitions the screen as she's now standing within the maze of of the Keyblade graveyard. She sees Mickey and leans forward, shoving her crossed arms with the electric nail daggers from being up across her to down as she charges him in zig-zagging electric charges. She looks up as Sora appears to swipe down his Keyblade from above at her. Marluxia intercedes with a clash of his scythe. She looks up, dumbfounded that he would rush in to 'save' her.
Oh, the way he makes me feel That love isn't real Cupid is so dumb
She is pushed back by Mickey in her astonishment at the kind deed, but as she rolls against the ground, Marluxia lands to stand protectively in front of her, taking the two on.
Coming up in front of the screen is another Larxene, who sings, 'Cupid is so dumb' as she does another iconic finger to her forehead before flicking her head back and motioning a 'gag' with her finger now pointing inside her mouth.
(Cupid is so dumb)
She falls to her knees, Sora walks over with his eyebrow raised, she smirks and puts her finger up in the 'It's a secret' gesture line she does in the game, before disappearing to be recompleted after a smile back to his intuitive question.
Hopeless girl is seeking Someone who will share this feeling I'm a fool A fool for love, a fool for love
Now back as Elrena, and in the thundering rain of Dwarf's Woodlands cliffside, she has her knees and hands holding her up off the soggy brown rocks as she shakes her head and cries with the rain, gripping the ground. She grips her heart, looking up a moment, before dipping it down as though thinking everything she did was pointless and didn't help anything anyway.
I gave a second chance to Cupid But now, I'm left here feeling stupid Oh, the way he makes me feel
Her head swings up to look behind her, turning on the ground as though looking back at someone calling her.
Lauriam comes running up the cliff, heading straight for her.
That love isn't real Cupid is so dumb
He falls to his hands and knees, breathing harshly, before looking up at her with water droplets falling from his lumious hair.
I gave a second chance to Cupid (Hopeless girl is seeking someone) But now, I'm left here feeling stupid (Who will share this feeling)
The camera spins around them as he holds out a hand, as though to offer it to her again, but this time, places it to her cheek and smiles.
Oh, the way he makes me feel That love isn't real (I'm a fool) Cupid is so dumb (A fool for love, a fool for love)
The next shot is Elrena completely red in the cheeks, spreading across her nose as she looks up, the camera pulls out from the close-up to show the swaying, bouncing motion is because she is being carried Bridal-style away from the cliff, down it in Lauriam's strong, protective arms… She has her hands and arms pulled in and bundled slightly, seeming smitten that love might not be out of the cards of fate just yet… or at all…
She closes her eyes and leans into him.
(thanks for read-watching lol XD It's just something that inspired the prompt, I hope you enjoyed it!)
