Dissidia Final Fantasy : Chaos Wins

[Axtwyt 500]

Party time? Now? Johnny didn't understand.

"No, now's not the time to be that happy," Johnny opened a corridor of darkness to Order's Sanctuary. "Let's go." Befor he stepped through, he stopped himself, "Wait a minute...where's Gilgamesh?"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Gilgamesh roared from the entrance to the Keyhole. "Too long I've waited for thi..." Gil looked around, "Where'd the big ol' monster go?"

Johnny replied before walking through the corridor, "Gone. Xehanort disappeared."

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

 

"You got to move fast if you want apiece of a bad guy." Cloud says to Gilgamesh.

Cloud turns his attention to Vanille. How badly had Drex messed her up? Cloud walks over to Vanille.

"How are you doing?" Cloud asks.

[OblivionRider 50]

“I’m good, how are you?” she chirped, and skipped after Johnny into the portal.

 

Serah walked over to Cloud.

“Cloud, keep an eye on her,” Serah said. ”Johnny said they didn’t tamper my heart. Does that mean they tampered hers? Something doesn’t seem right about her…”

 

Serah walked towards the portal and turned around to face Cloud.

 

“Well, when has there ever been anything right about her?” she joked halfheartedly, and disappeared into the portal.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud manage a smile at Serah's joke, though his heart wasn't in it. One of his companions might have had something done to her and he didn't know for sure.

"Well, never a dull moment." Cloud mutters to himself.

Cloud walks over to the portal. He turns and looks back at Zack.

"Let's get going." Cloud calls to Zack.

Cloud steps through the portal.

[OblivionRider 50]

“So, what’s our next big move?” Drex said. ”We’ve got enough of those Ultima things to light the Dark Realm. Are we going for more?”

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Dr Cid}

"Yes." Dr Cid answers. "Once we have a plan to gain the other pieces with minimal risk. We got luck last time with those idiots fighting Xehanort. We won't get another chance like that again without design."

Dr Cid thinks a moment.

"Serah still has her heart, correct?" Cid asks Drex.

[OblivionRider 50]

“Yep,” Drex remarked. ”She escaped on her pony before I could steal or tamper with it.=But at least we got her Ultima. Doctor, are you familiar with the term, Nobody?”

[Axtwyt 500]

As Johnny walked through the portal, he saw a very different looking Gabranth guarding Cosmos.

"Hey, what's up?" Johnny casually asked Gabranth. "Any new warriors come along this way?"

Gabranth shook his head, "Unfortunately, none have entered Sanctuary since Cid invaded."

Gil walked through the corridor as well and Gabranth turned his blade to the newcomer, "What sort of vile creature is this?"

Gil was apprehensive at the man, "Well, if you must know, I'm a weapons collector, mainly swords."

Johnny leaned closer to Gabranth and whispered, "He's on our side as long as we promise him weapons."

Gabranth nodded and sheathed his weapon.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Dr Cid}

Dr Cid thinks a moment, then slowly nods.

"Yes." He answers. "I came across the term when researching some other worlds. I didn't know until recently that the Heartless were connected to the Nobodies, but it makes since."

Dr Cid raises an eyebrow.

"Why do you ask?"

[OblivionRider 50]

“Yes, you’re right there,” Drex said. ”The Heartless feed off of hearts that have been stolen. When the heart is released from the body, the person’s heart turns into a Heartless. Their body, the empty shell, fades into darkness. Unless the heart is strong. Then, the body becomes twisted into a Nobody. The more powerful the heart, the more humanlike and powerful the Nobody. By those standard’s, my Somebody’s heart was as strong as they come. A real hero he was. Now, this world exists only for the gods and their chosen heroes, are not I right?”

 

Drex raised his hand, and a portal of darkness began appearing.

 

“So it stands to reason, that for every heart stolen here, a powerful Nobody should be made!”

 

Out of the portal steps a boy. He looked like Hope, but wore a black cloak, and his hair was messier. He dropped a bound up girl on the floor. Vanille thrashed about, trying to fight back.

 

“Meet Vanille. And her chauffer, Xeoph!”

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Dr Cid}

Dr Cid claps.

"Quite a feat." Cid says. "So, your plan is to make an army of Nobodies. Interesting."

Cid looks at Xeoph.

"Are you sure you can control the minds and bodies of these heroes?"

[OblivionRider 50]

Xeoph stared blankly at Dr. Cid. Drex laughed.

 

“It’s no use talking to him. Because his Somebody still exists, he has no memories of his old life. And thanks to my, tinkering, he’ll do anything I say, with no chance of rebellion. He’s a powerful puppet, don’t you think? Original Nobodies like me who came to this world are stronger than these Nobodies though. But they don’t need to be strong. Their allies will recognize these Nobodies as the real ones, and be deceived. Do you catch my drift?”

 

Drex grabbed Vanille and pulled her up. She futilely tried to resist.

 

“This girl too, has a Nobody. She’s already on her mission. Can you guess where?” Drex grinned evilly.

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Golbez and Genesis studied Xeoph.

"wow... scary real." he said, Golbez nodded.

"this is rather... unusual." he said. Genesis sighed.

"So where do you come from?" he asked. Golbez looked away.

"The moon." he simply said. Genesis nodded.

"Ok..." he said sighing.

-meanhwile-

Zack sighed and then looked in Vanille's inventory.

"Hey... the ULTIMA, it's all gone!" he yelled.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Dr Cid}

Dr Cid nods.

"A good plan, Drex." Cid complements. "Well played."

Cid smiles at the young Nobody. The boy is powerful. Perhaps too much so.

"That's alright." Dr Cid thinks. "I have some resources in case the worse happens."

 

..................................

{Cloud}

Cloud dashes to Zack's side and looks at Vanille's inventory.

"Venille?" Cloud says, looking up at the woman. "What happened?"

[OblivionRider 50]

Vanille looked at Cloud, searching into her memories, and then started crying, but no tears came out.

 

“I’m sorry! They grabbed all the Ultimas from me! They took my heart! There’s such a pain in my chest,” she cried, grabbing at it,” and I just can’t stand it!”

 

Serah moved forward, and knelt down to help Vanille. The girl saw Vanille’s dry eyes, and drew her bowblade, hitting Vanille over the head.

 

Vanille jumped backwards.

“How could you, get her!” she screamed.

 

Serah steadied an arrow.

“Don’t trust her, she’s an imposter! A, manakin?”

 

========================

 

Drex looked into the distance.

 

“I do not know if our charade with Lanxlevi will last much longer,” he said. ”We must move forward soon. What’s the plan, Doctor and Genestink?”

[Axtwyt 500]

Johnny heard commotion from the other side of the portal. He ran back through, with Gil and Gabranth in tow.

All he heard was, "Don’t trust her, she’s an imposter! A manakin?"

Johnny ran up and tackled Vanille. He pulled out his Keyblade and pierced Vanille so slightly like he had just done to Serah. Vanille went limp and Johnny searched her heart.

"This isn't the same Vanille..." Johnny turned to the rest of the group. "Something's wrong here." Johnny reached further and further until it clicked in his mind what had happened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Nobody of Oerba dia Vanille."

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud summons his sword and points it at Vanille's nobody.

"What are you doing Vanille?" Cloud asks. "And where is your heart."

Had Cloud been given time to think about what he had said, he would have wondered how he knew about Nobodies. But with a situation staring him in the face, he didn't think about it.

 

...........................................

{Dr Cid}

"Venat, if you please?" Cid asks his friend, gesturing his hand to a wall.

Venat shows on the wall what is happening through the eyes of Vanille's nobody. Cid assimilates the information quickly.

"I believe we should sit this one out." Dr Cid says. "Our best targets are in the middle of this. We go in now, we could get more then we bargain for. If we lose a pawn, so be it. Better opportunities will present themselves."

[OblivionRider 50]

OOC: Name fail coming up…

 

“My name is Barexo Axid Lanxlevi, the Nobody of Vanille, and my only goal, is to take your heart!” she shouted.

 

She jumped back, and her regular clothes materialized into a black robe. The ground shook, and raised Lanxlevi up into the air.

 

“I command the Earth Element, and you will be destroyed!”

 

The warriors of Cosmos (and Garbaranth) nearby suddenly felt earth form around their feet, binding them in place.

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Genesis looked at Drex.

"Genestink? or you serious?" he asked chuckling. Cid looked to both of them, Golbez sighed.

'Oh boy, we need to focus on the war, and not these petty relations.' he thought to himself. Genesis stared down Drex.

"run that by me again?" he asked.

-meanwhile-

Zack shook.

"What the hell?" he asked shaking, the nobody laughed.

"What are you?" he asked yelling.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud doesn't bother with questions at this time. He knows he has to act. He brings the hilt of his sword down on the earth around his feet, freeing his feet. He quickly jumps up before Lanxlevi can recapture him. His jump leads him straight for Lanxlevi. He swings and hits the nobody with he flat of his sword, sending her crashing to the ground. In midair, Cloud ejects both side blades from his fusion sword and throws them into the ground. He lands on the swords.

"You want my heart?" Cloud asks. "You don't have the strength to do that with out your own."

[Axtwyt 500]

Johnny popped his knuckles before he taunted Lanxlevi, "You know what takes out a nobody better than anything else?" Johnny pulled out his Keyblade and tackled Lanxlevi. He held the Keyblade to her throat before finishing his thought, "A fellow Nobody. My name is also Honjynx, the fifteenth member of Organization XIII." Lanxlevi kicked Johnny backwards and Johnny flipped back in midair. He landed perfect and summoned the three other Keyblades to his side.

"You're going to tell me everything I need to know. How did you become a Nobody? What happened to the real Vanille? How is Doctor Cid involved?"

Gabranth unsheathed his swords and assumed a battle position alongside Johnny, "Such a frail object deserves its fate in oblivion!"

Gilgamesh summoned the Toursenel and the Blade of Legend, "Where's the weapon Vanille promised me? Tell me where she is!"

Johnny glanced briefly at his allies then back at Lanxlevi, "Hopefully you can count and know that you're outnumbered. Give up and surrender and we won't go so hard on you."

[Axtwyt 500]

OOC: C'mon people...I'm getting bored here...

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Zack slashed the earth off his leg, they started making demands, the nobody laughed shoting them all back with a thud.

"Agh." Zack said, she was flinging rocks everywhere.

'Damn, this is nuts.' he thought to himself, then slashed towards Lanxlevi, she blocked and shot more rocks.

"awe come on!" he yelled avoiding rocks and casting fire.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud flips up, ripping up one of the side blades and reattaching it to his sword. He grabs the other side blade and wields it in his left hand. Cloud lands on his feet and charges toward the Nobody. He uses his fusion sword and a side blade to smack away rocks fired in his direction.

[Axtwyt 500]

Two of the Keyblades deflected rocks away from Johnny, Gabranth and Gil as they charged towards Lanxlevi. Johnny rushed the Nobody with swift strikes from the blades in his hands as the others provided defense.

Gil tried to attack Lanxlevi but was sent flying by a well-placed rock.

Gabranth raised his weapon and spoke to the Nobody, "I tire of this useless fighting! I shall rain judgement upon thee!" The Keyblades opened and Gabranth slashed the weapon at the ground. Flames erupted from the blade and traveled towards Lanxlevi. The flames erupted into a pillar once the flames were underneath the Nobody. Gabranth steadied his weapon and waited for the smoke to clear.
