Keyblade13

I was attacking Kale

"No...way." Vexitus murmurred as he began to feel the pain of the slash, falling down to the ground making a large crater. In less than a second the pressure of darkness filled the air around Vexitus, a white mass beginning to form around his face as his eyes went black. He could feel it gripping for control again and it was stronger in his weakened state, the darkness in his heart attaching itself to the hollow in his Soul Slayer. They mixed together and created a dark armor ( http://th00.devianta...ago_almeida.jpg ) When Kale was pre-occupied with Dexel the hollow took full control of Vexitus's body, refusing to die within his soul. He moved with blinding speed and took a hold of Kale's head as he flew past him, throwing him into the side of the massive castle, leveling it in seconds. This is what Alex had foreseen so long ago that the darkness would twist his mind and create an unstoppable force of darkness with the brutality of a monster heartless, the Hollow following up with a black Cero aimed at the castle, destroying it more to make sure Kale was dead. Although Kale dodged the cero the Hollow grasped his shoulder with his left hand, having moved behind him the instant he dodged his Cero. A black flame came from the Hollow's right hand ad this blade appeared in it (http://i41.tinypic.com/28tgnd0.jpg ) slashing Kale from behind and to the ground with brutal force.

Vexitus at first look as if he were in shock when the man done him the final blow but soon it turned into a slight smirk, his image beginning to fade. "A God huh?..Is that what this battle is?" he asked, revealing that what he slashed apart was Vexitus's red jacket. "Black Ops Technique: Object Replacement." he said with a hint of pride, twirling his staff weapon above his head. "Sorry to say this but I have had that experience a multitude of times......and I have just gotten over it. To be honest I know he'll be the one to kill me sooner or later even if he is my best friend." Vexitus said, stabbing his sword into the ground. "Split Apart....Ookami!" he exclaimed, the blade erupting a white mist from the stone it was impaled in, traveling up the staff and changing it into a longer blade. "Till he gets here......I'm not dying by you...end of story." Vexitus said, raising his blade. "Getsuga-" he then vanished with blinding speed and re-appeared beside Kale, smirking widely. "Tenshou!!!!!" Vexitus brought his blade down and released a large wave of blue energy that decimated where Kale stood, the smoke clearing to show a large crater stretching a 12 yards in length. "Heh...not all talk i see.." Vexitus said proudly, blocking to his left. He barely hit Kale when he dodged but he still was able to pay him back, Vexitus using the Object Replacement technique at the last minute so his chest was slashed a bit.

Vexitus grinned slyly as he charged head on at this other Alex, slamming the hilt of his sword into his sheathe. "Pass Judgement!...Ookami!" he exclaimed, a black wind running up his sword and down his sheathe, creating a long metal staff with a large blade at the tip. He smiled as he continued to come forward, striking at Alex who just dodged with ease. Vexitu's eyes widened when he felt a large slash go through him, his shoulder cut deeply. Vexitus leaped into the air to try and get the upper hand with arial, blocking a few quick strikes that was harder for him to see. He cashed with his enemy and smiled in his face, slowly being able to push him back. "Give me a break there.......I just woke up!" he exclaimed, knocking him back. Vexitus could only smile more as the fight went on, surprisingly able to handle this Alex without releasing any of his additional power boosts. ("It's too obvious the way he's fighting me....he wants to see who's stronger and have an epic battle....I need to wait till he's forced me.") he thought to himself, starting to get the feel for his instincts again.

"Figured as much....." Vexitus said with a smirk, the figure that the man pushed down being nothing but an illusion. "Hado No#81...Danku (Severing Trick void) "You overplayed your part to be honest....." Vexitus said as he summoned his keyblade, jetting from where he stood and charged at the mysterious figure. He could do nothing but smile when he vanished as well, Vexitus flipping backwards in mid-air to block a strike and land again. "Not bad........so....were you after me?..Or do you just wanna fight?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as he switched weapons to his full-bring. "If it's just to fight and compare strengths......you just came at the wrong time..." he said, holding his sword and sheathe as he took a duel-weapon stance. ("Who is this guy?...hell me must know I have connections with Alex since he tried that trick on me.....but what does he gain from fighting me....better hold back a bit here.") Vexitus thought to himself, shifting his feet.

Return of Hazama Post It was all in his mind as he approached the battle ground he would have with his dark self which became known as Terumi, ripping himself from Hazama once he realized how soft Hazama became towards Dom. Dom was to be tricked by Hazama himself and transformed into the tool that would give him power beyond that of even Ezio but the heart ran interference and so did the light, Hazama changing his mind about the plan but the darkness within him still hungered for that idea of ultimate power. Hazama knew that he must get his darkness back under his control before he released the power of the cauldron upon the dream wold since it was one from a different world, Terumi so reckless that he would not flinch at risking ripping the balance of time and space of any world for the sake of power. Dom and Hazama had just stepped through the door that Dom found through all the illusions of the Dream world, after fighting a bunch of dream eaters they could feel a powerful force of darkness nearby that made even Hazama shudder.

Return of Vexitus Post "Why me?" "Who....am I really?" "Why did the keyblade choose me?" "Do I even deserve it?" "Mizu.....Mimi.................Alex." Vexitus was in a swirling sea of water that seemed to stand still endlessly, embracing him and crushing him at the same time. It all felt the same way the first time he started his journey and even through all his struggles many questions remained unanswered, even so he kept on fighting. He opened his eyes and as he floated at the bottom of the sea he could still see the sun high above him, shining down and providing him warmth and comfort. "That light....." "Who gave it to me?" "My......friends?" Just then tree figures appeared in the water with him but remained floating a ways above his body, the three staring down at him with warm expressions. One was his Keyblade who took the form of a small child cloaked in rags and frilly black lace, her eyes covered by bandages but looked at him with a smile. Another was his fullbring who appeared in Vexitus's silver armor which covered his face, crossing his arms as he stared down at his master. The third was his soul-slayer which had been held by another man who was supposedly his grandfather, something he began to doubt after a while. The figure looked like an old man who had flowing black hair and wore a floating robe that hid his feet. "Would you wish to sleep...rather than join the battle? (keyblade) "And let the darkness grow to consume all?" (fullbring) "Or will you get up and fight....knowing you may never know who you truly are?" (soul-slayer) Vexitus looked up at the three of them with a tired expression and began to feel guilty of just sitting around, barely able to feel his body. he began to remember how much everyone supported him through his struggles and how much they sacrifices, going through great lengths to protect the light. "The guilt trip huh?.....Love it." "Well...guess there is no arguing it anymore......I'm growing up..." "Sitting on my ass being selfish...is not what Alex-....anyone taught me." "They're getting my help..............because I am...." And that was it that was his resolve to not care what his past was and to continue to be who he is in the present, opening his heart to a new light. In that moment his weapons vanished and he began to rise from the sea floor, reaching up with his right hand to the warm sunlight that shown down on him. "Have I......made you proud?" ".........." "..!" Vexitus heard someone answer, leaving the dream before he could even register who it was. Just then Vexitus felt his hand in another and that other was Mizu, the woman staring at him with worry and relief. Vexitus was in a bed with rose colored sheets still wearing his clothes, the castle they were in beginning to vanish around them. As Mizu explained everything Vexitus got up and began to walk down the stairs as the castle slowly vanished into nothing behind them. Mizu was worried and placed a hand on his shoulder, Vexitus smiling slightly back at her. "Cummon.....we got a job to do.." he said, Mizu leading him back to the way she came in to get him. "Be strong......" "Your 'true name'....is at hand."

Hazama blinked at that and then smiled slightly. "Never had a friend before Dom.......glad to hear you...think of me as one." he said, checking his watch again as it seemed to be spinning without end. Hazama actually felt good about himself for once in his life, feeling that the past would never define him again. He was a new man now, glad he could actually gain a true friend out of all that he has done. "He's close....." he muttered, narrowing his eyes up ahead. The girl nodded from under her hood to Mizu, the vortex opening wider. When they stepped through it Mizu was now in a shadowy place that was surrounded by darkness, the girl standing beside her. "Welcome....to the Nightmare." she muttered, a large castle up ahead. "He's trapped inside..........his darkest of memories." she informed Mizu. "Trying to save him....and failing..means you become trapped as well."

Hazama walked with Dom around the dream world for a while, Dom’s eye able to avoid many fights and illusions to slow them down. “Hey Dom…..why did you agree to help me?” he asked, the two walking through an invisible door into one of Dom’s memories. They were in Radiant Garden, around the same time she was traveling around with Mimi. A large ripple in time opened up in front of Mizu and she jumped back, ready for anything. A young girl wrapped in black bandages from head to toe emerged from the vortex, a large spear mounted on her back wrapped in tattered bandages. She wore a tattered cloak overtop of her bandaged body, flowing in the wind that the vortex created. She looked up at Mizu with one glowing red eye, the other covered by bandages. “Come…….Vexitus needs you.” She said, looking to her left to notice Dream Eaters began to appear. “Foul creatures…” she mumbled, staring at them.

"Dom...I gotta tell you the truth." he said quickly, letting go a sigh. "That eye patch of yours is called the Azure Grimwore....a tool used to convert souls into unlimited energy....I used it to help you regain your sight....but..you already know there's a dark side to me. His name is Terumi....and he wishes for everything to be destroyed including himself. He plans to use you to create the Kusanagi( All Killing Sword) Murakumo Unit....a being that can use power found in a place known as the "Boundary"....It's here in this world...and Terumi split from me and took his own form...he knew I was close to taking my body back.....but he managed to control me and trick you in here." he said, turning away from her. "I know I don't deserve it...but I need your help stopping him....if we can find the Boundary and destroy it..then he won't be able to use you."

Hazama thought that he brought Dom out pretty far and decided to turn around to face her, reaching his hand out in a flash. Dom's reaction was slow and in the wrong direction. 'Just as I thought...you are having trouble seeing." he muttered, taking off his hand and looked a bit closer. "This world is not physical.....and as such you can barely see...." he said, tapping the eyepatch as he began to work on it. "Hold still....." he muttered, turning the plate before punching in a code sequence that Dom could see begin to be downloaded. After he was finished it snapped shit, opening wide again to glow a bright blue. Dom now could see everything, the color different but it was normal. Her eyes could now see past the illusions of the dream world, multiple hidden doors now appearing to her eye.

What Vexitus was going through was quite hard for him to even understand, the Dream Realm transforming his deepest and most forgotten memories into a living reality. He was fighting his own mind and his own mind was a place he would rather not be, constantly dealing with the memories of pain. The dark memories of his past were trying to cripple and crush him into oblivion, Vexitus needing to keep hold of what he fought for to even come out of each nightmare alive. The next nightmare became the dark sands of Agrabah, Vexitus battling his own brother in the middle of a sandstorm. It was a battle to see who was the strongest to lead Sector Seven and Leo figured since he had the larger scythe-like weapon against Vexitus’s katana fullbring he would win, Vexitus proving that he batter suited to be leader. Vexitus was the one who had multiple cuts and holes scattered about his body from Leo’s blade, Vexitus not even slashing Leo only once to even win the battle.

She seemed to have forgotten that they were now connected and Hazama could sense she was upset, the man tipping his hat. "I'm sorry to have worried you.....and you don't owe me anything Dom." he said, looking around. He saw Mizu talking to Neku a ways over from them, raising an eyebrow. "Cummon Dom........I need your help." he said, taking her hand and rushing off. Meanwhile~ Unknown to Vexitus he was still trapped in the deepest part of his mind, in reality he was being held in frozen animation in a small pod. A tall woman entered the Dream World castle and kicked through and air vent, flipping down to a large door. After punching in the secrete code she smirked when she walked in. "This must be it..I found him." she muttered, walking closer into the room. The pod contained Vexitus in a deep sleep, the woman punching in codes to free him. When the water began to drain in the pod a robot activated in the corner of the room, Vexitus opening his eyes the moment the pod opened. The cyborg opened fire upon Vexitus and destroyed the pod, Vexitus getting out in time and pushing the woman down. 'Stay here!" he ordered, jumping back and forth on the walls to avoid the cyborg's bullets. "Must eradicate all copies!" he yelled, Vexitus getting closer before. "Hey hold up!" the woman yelled, getting in between the two and halting their movements. After a while they cyborg and vexitus were separated, the woman smiling as she sat there. "Now I get it...now I know what's going on. You're mad at the person who sealed you in this room.' she said, pointing to the cyborg. "And you....you can't remember a thing can you?" she asked, Vexitus glaring away from her with his arms crossed. "Then it's settled....now you two make up so we can start looking for this bastard together.' she said, forcing the two to put their hands in. "Looks like we're a team for now." In that instant when Vexitus was awakened something was sent to Mizu and Mimi, a strange feeling he was alive.

As the Dream Eaters continued to surround Mizu a bright light erupted from the second district, a rain storm of arrows coming down and vanquishing the beasts. "Wow...that was close." the male muttered, standing on top of a building. Hazama held his had atop his head proudly as he stood up and looked down upon Raiga, Mizu, and Dom with a smile. "Didn't think you would actually come in here...just to help me out." He said, jumping down from the roof. Vexitus was knocked out for a long while till he finally started to wake up, feeling the cold floor of his face. "Ugh....did I survive/" he asked himself, being trapped in his own mind for who knows how long. He felt he was holding Tensa Zangetsu in his right hand, the sword feeling heavier than usual. "Damn........" he mumbled, his head spinning and pounding like mad.

Raiga soon realized what Dom was trying to do after she took hold on his muscular arm, scanning the eye patch with a slight distrust. "Hmm..?" he asked himself quietly, feeling a bit uneasy about who she was looking for. "Alright then...it's time to move out." he said, taking one step forward and suddenly Dream Eaters began popping up to surround them. Raiga took a defensive stance and had no need to use his Fullbring on beasts this small, noticing they had a crest that was not known to any of them. 'What are they?" Hey Captain?...Anything you can tell us?" he asked Mimi, the scientist wondering herself. "If it's a new crest that means your enemy if from the Dream World.....I advise getting rid of as many as you can." "Roger! Alright ladies...let's get to work."
