Lexa Infinite

I opened my eyes to see a corrupted version of my Awakening. My sleeping face was now wide awake; half of my face was held her face, golden eye glowing and the other half was me still held the emerald green. "So, you managed to find yourself? Big f&cking whoop." I turned to my right to see her. "You know, I'm rather pissed off at you." I said. "Yeah, I know. I am you." She rolled her eyes. God, this..thing was everything I hate about me. (Okay, making a note here, please, when talking about her, replace the word thing with swearword of your choice. Because my personal opinion of her would probably get me banned.) "So, we just gonna talk or we gonna fight?!" I said. "Now we agree. I think I might let you in on something first. God, I just don't know if I should; it might just break that little heart of yours..." My blood ran cold. "What did you do?!" "Oh, it's not what I did, it's what I am doing. I dare say your boyfriend is in a lot of trouble. With a capital T." She grinned maliciously. "My boyfriend?! I'm single!" I said. "You should know that." "Oh, my bad. Apparently you still don't get the point: the person who is your inspiration, your muse, is seriously getting his ass handed to him out there." "YOU!" I nearly did what I always did: charge blindly forward. Shut it down. I stopped myself. "You are going to pay." I said, calmly. "Oh, that's different. No rage, Lexa?" She smirked and summoned Bond of Flame. "Well, I've got plenty." She ran straight forward. I moved swiftly and slightly to the right. She missed entirely. "What?!" I pulled her left shoulder to where she faced me. And then I proceeded to punch her in the nose. "OWW!" My hand stung a bit while she jumped up and down about her nose. "OMG, YOU B!TCH!" She literally said O-M-G. I laughed. "Really? I expected much more." I said. "Oh, playtime's over, brat! I AM the superior one!" The platform got darker as she started a song, face fierce and deadly. "I will break into your thoughts, with what's written on my heart I will-" I covered my ears as I braced myself for the impact. "-BREAK!" I flew back to the other side of the platform. "I'm so sick, infected with where I live!Let me live without this, empty bliss,selfishness! I'm so sick!" Why did she have to use one of my favorite songs?! I reached for something strong, something to fight back as I felt myself fading fast. I was nearly gone when the song started. "I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive, so I'm going to start over tonight, beginning with you and I! When this memory fades, I'm gonna make sure it's replaced,with chances taken, hope embraced and have I told you?" She lurched back as I regained myself and started after her. "I settled down a twisted up frown, disguised as a smile. Well, you would have never known! I had it all ,but not what I wanted, 'cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown!" I was on a roll. She started fading, turning transparent. "You'd make your way in.I'd resist you just like this;You can't tell me to feel! The truth never set me free, so, I did it myself. You can't be too careful anymore,when all that is waiting for you, won't come any closer! You've got to reach out a little more! More More More, MORE!" She looked utterly shocked as I summoned Bond of Flame out of her hand. "HOW!? I HAD YOU- "Open your eyes, like I opened mine! It's only the real world, a life you will never know! Shifting your weight to throw off the pain Well you can ignore it, but only for so long! You look like I did You resist me just like this! You can't tell me to heal! And it hurts remembering, how it felt to shut down!" "STOP!" She tried to conjure up something. "It's rather sorry that you can't keep a good hold of yourself. My heart knows which of us is right. I suggest surrendering now before things get ugly." I said. "FORGET YOU!" She said. "I should have used fear first; this was rather stupid. Now, I'm unable to try that...." "That, you should have, and you may have won. But, I doubt it." I said. She briefly glared at her feet, then got a surprised look. "How about you look down?" She leered. I slowly looked down. I could see the Great Hall through the panes. She had Vanitas by the throat, holding him above the ground. "Vanitas!" I yelled, and looked back up. "Nice try. I know the only way we're gonna end this is one of us fading into the other." "Yep. Or one of us surrendering." She said. "Give up and I'll let him off the hook." "Never." I said. I rushed forward. I found myself on the other side of her. "NOT...DONE...YET...." She exploded into a swarm of darkness. I covered my face as it came rushing around me. We met this time as we both claimed the same song. ""I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out. When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth! I waited eight long months. She finally set him free. I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks and we caught on fire, She's got it out for me,but I wear the biggest smile. "Whoa, i never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, cause I got him where I want him now.And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels so- It just feels so good. We split again, battling in song, which I dare say is very much like a mixture of a rap battle, a battle of wits and a cat fight. (NOTE: me=red, her=gold, together=black) "Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change. Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change. And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged. I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way. Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you. Looking as innocent as possible to get to who, They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right. Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse! Whoa, i never meant brag But I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, 'Cause I got him where I want him right now. And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels so... It just feels so good. I watched his wildest dreams come true Not one of them involving you Just watch my wildest dreams come true Not one of them INVOLVING! WHOA, I NEVER MEANT TO BRAG, BUT I GOT HIM WHERE I WANT HIM NOW! Whoa, i never meant to brag But I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag To steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, 'Cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels SO- It just feels so good!" "No, I refuse to loose to such an idiot! You won't..." She landed on her knees, trying to keep herself together. "It's over." I said. "You'll never be rid of me." She growled. "I know, but at least I'll be able to keep you under lock and key." I said. As she faded, the Awakening grew brighter and became less corrupt. You have done well. I felt myself rise up and out, unsure of what havoc she had reigned during my absence. Alright, that was hard. I had several ideas I had to cut for this. But, oh, my god, that was fun! Alright, to make my dark-side even more annoying, I kinda envisioned her with a Larxene-ish voice. Don't worry, this isn't the last we'll see of her! Good luck, guys!

"Awaken, Lexa. It is time." My eyes fluttered open. My mouth dropped as I saw the room. "The Land of Departure...?" I sat up and shook my head, shaking off the drowsiness. A hand appeared in front of me and I looked up. "You're...Master Eraqus?" I said, surprised. "Yes. It's nice to meet you, Lexa." He helped me to my feet. "Oh!" I quickly bowed in respect. "And it's an honor to meet you, sir." "Thank you. Now, then, on to the matter at hand: your heart is on the teetering edge of falling permanently in to darkness. If it should, that Unversed Lexa shall be all that is left of you." I shuddered at the thought. "But-why didn't I turn into a Heartless? Or a Nobody? Why did I turn into an Unversed instead? Are Xoncron and the rest okay? What-" "One question at a time." Eraqus said, calmly. "Yes, sir." I said, respectfully. "First, you did not turn into one as your light is safeguarded by the one who is your light." "My light? But then why-" The answer hit me like a sack of bricks. "Oh, no, no, no, no, Vanitas, he can't be-that's impossible-" "What is possible and what is impossible are not always set in stone. Regardless, he is your light. And you, his. As for your friends, Vanitas lied to you. They are still alive. For now. Rixec is on his way back here. He has found his memory and himself. He'll be coming back the same and yet different." "And Xoncron?" I asked. "And William and Ven?" "I...know not of Xoncron or the rest. I apologize." Eraqus looked truly apologetic. "It's okay." I said. "Master?" "Yes?" "If I go and face her...will it cause another Vanitas/Ventus-like cataclysm?" "No. You are very special in the matters of your heart. A heart this world has never seen the likes of before. One that flickers between light and darkness like a candle to a flame. However, you are one who will always bring light and warmth to the world, mind that you keep a hold of your fire." Eraqus said. "I've been getting that a lot." I said. "For you to have your strength to the fullest, you must learn to control your temper and think before acting unless the situation is absolutely dire. Do you understand?" "Yes, Master." I said. "Master, about Vanitas...How-" "You will have to figure out that one for yourself. Now, it is time for you to awaken fully and completely." "One last question: where is this?" "It's a stopping point. Limbo, you might say. A place where light and dark both end and begin." "Oh." I said. "Are you ready, Lexa? Reclaiming yourself is not going to be easy." "I'm ready." The room disappeared and I rushed toward the light. Prepare your heart for a battle. She will challenge you first, in time. My heart's a battleground.....

I drifted and dreamed of memories that were not mine. "She passed out again?! Does she have health issues or something?!" Rixec said. Xoncron shook my limp body. "She must be fighting something. I recognize that fierce look on her face. Somebody's about to receive hell; you couldn't pay me to go inside her mind." Xoncron said. "So, catatonic again?" Vanitas appeared at the front of the chapel, bathed in the eerie light from the stained glass window. "You! You have something to do with this!" Xoncron stood up. "Perhaps. Insanity happens to be something I revel in." Vanitas smirked, utterly triumphant. "What are you going to do without her? She is the strongest in this group." Vanitas summoned Void Gear. "How well will you fare with out your fiery friend?" Xoncron and William rushed forward. Vanitas yawned and sent two Dark Firaga, sending them back. "Please, is that REALLY the best you can do? It's no wonder your friend has to do all the fighting; you are all....worthless." Vanitas was actually starting to get on Ven's nerves. Normally he wasn't one to get mad about anything but Vanitas was taking it TOO FAR. Glaring at Vanitas he let his hand tighten around Wayward Wind. "That's it! I'm not gonna let you talk about anyone like this again!" Running three steps he vanished in small burst of light after the third step. "Oh man, Vani, you just made him mad. I wonder how well that'll end for you!?" Holding her stomach, William was trying so hard not fall over. Vanitas was not gonna be her biggest fan at the end of the day. This was mean considering she was a major Vanitas fan but Ventus needed the love. Well that and it was messing with her favorite characters. "You know I think Lexa is gonna hate me after finding out I was a Vani fan but oh well she'll have to survive." Taking out one of her swords she got ready to go after Vanitas. "Okay Ventus hit him now!" Finally he reappeared above Vanitas with a murderous grin. Striking down with his keyblade covered in a tremendous amount of light the result was amazing. The keyblade made direct contact with Vanitas chest as the trapped light exploded causing both figures to be launched back by the force of the attack. Being sent back he flipped managing to stay on his feet as his grin only got bigger. "Now let's see how well you fight NOW. I picked up a trick thanks to a gift from Yen Sid. I'm not afraid of what I have to use with it." "Well, Vani, I got big surprise for you. I talked to Ventus earlier and figured out a way to give him a edge. Now Ven can take some of YOUR darkness. I hope you love it as much as I do." She explained while getting ready to strike him herself as she gave Ventus a thumbs up. It still bothered her slightly that Ventus had been so willing to use it but it was going to help. Making sure to keep an eye on Ventus one mental note was made. 'The color around his pupil is yellow. Got to make sure his whole eye doesn't turn the same color.' Taking a deep breathe she ran at Vanitas with Ventus following along. Oh, this was going to be so painful. I drifted once more and came upon horror. "Ah, Lexa. You are beautiful." I looked at my own face as darkness poured in. The eyes were gold, the tips of her hair were pitch black, my coat ripped to shreds, red material filling in the gaps; the violet markings under the eyes had vanished under the white-pale skin. Vanitas leaned on 'my' shoulder, grinning. 'I' was a nightmare given form. The darkest parts of my heart and mind personified. "Yes. This quite suits me." The voice was much more quiet than mine, but it was more lethal for it. It was hypnotic and melodious. I shrank back from it, my very being rebelling it. 'I' looked over at Vanitas and laid a hand on his face. For reasons unknown to me, this pissed me off to no end. HANDS OFF, B!TCH! Vanitas flinched away from the touch. She leaned in and started to say something. I couldn't hear what she whispered in Vanitas's ear, but, apparently, Vanitas did not appreciate it. "I've changed my mind." Vanitas said, and started walking out toward the door. "Oh?" She said and leaped over and in front of Vanitas. "Move." Vanitas rolled his eyes. "Nah-uh." She said, playfully. "Not until you pay the toll." "And what would that be?" Vanitas said. "This." She lunged forward and pressed her lips to his. OH. MY. GOD. HELL! NO! There is no word except for "You have just pressed ALL of the berserk buttons on Lexa. Congrats!" describes how much I was seeing red. Needless to say, I was gratified by Vanitas's reaction. He quickly pushed her off. "WHAT THE HELL, YOU SLUT!?" You took the words right out of my mouth, Vanitas! I smirked inside as he chewed that...THING out. I drifted off once more as Vanitas turned his back to her and left. I was left with conflicting melodies and under-toned harmonies as the only sound I had, all crashing parts of songs that my warring heart had left.

"Greeeeeeeeeeat. Oh,my God, the KHI map is so confusing. " I said to myself. "This must be the past, then...." I looked around the upside down waterfall. "Let's go head up to the Great Hall. It'll be better to have the higher ground." I said. William hesitated. "Look, if we stay here, we're sitting ducks for Heartless." I said. "Alright." William sighed. "Thanks." I said, smiling. We made our way up to the castle's main doors. "Sooooo....you're here, too." I looked to my left immediately. "Vanitas!" All except me summoned their weapons. "Peace. I'm not going to attack you. Just so you know, that idiot in grey got me here as well." "Isn't he with you?" Xoncron asked. "I honestly have no idea. Either he's not, or someone didn't give him the memo." Vanitas jumped over the gap between the two outcroppings, landing a few feet from me. "Hello, Ventus. How's your head doing?" Vanitas grinned. Ventus glared. "We'll move on to that later. I'm still pissed at you for-" "Kicking your ass from one side of The World That Never Was to the next? I figured you would be. You're not here to make simple chit-chat, are you?" I said. "No." He said. Time slowed down as Vanitas lunged forward. I moved right of him, his momentum unable to change direction. I leaned down and caught my right leg under his left, causing him to fall. "Whoa!" He fell on his hands. "How did you do that?!" Vanitas stood back up. He summoned Void Gear. He swung it forward. Time slowed again and I stopped the blade between my hands. "WHOA!" I said. "What the hell!?" Vanitas said. "Yeah, that's what I'm saying." I said. "How are you-" Vanitas stopped himself. "Where you holding back the other day?!" He demanded. I shook my head. "I actually kind of....blacked-out. I had no control over those last 15 minutes of the fight." I said. "So, you would have even attacked your own friends?" "NO! No, I would never have...." "Not so sure, are you? You've got quite the berserk button. It reminds me of a person you seem to really hate. Maybe you should consider the similarities, Lexa." Vanitas warped away. "Lexa, you're not going to listen to him, are you?!" Xoncron said. "He's right, though." I said. "Ignore him, Lexa." Rixec said. "Let's head up." I thought we were never going to get to the castle chapel. The castle was absolutely infested with Heartless, not to mention the Lift Stop system sucks. "The Great Hall is..." I turned to the right. "You hear that, right?" I said. "No, it's silent, Lexa. What are you hearing?" Xoncron said. "Music...." I said. "What song is it?" William asked. "I know it, but...." It was so faint; I could only detect the beat. I closed my eyes and tuned into it. "Something lately drives crazy, has to do with how you make me, struggle to get your attention, calling you brings apprehension." I broke free as the song started to drive me into darkness. "What?!" I said. "What was it?" Xoncron said. "A song I was using for the project I was working on before I left. How-" The dark song seized hold of me. I could only see the passing beats and strum of the beats. I know seeing sound sounds weird, no pun intended, but it was very...eye opening. "Damn, if you didn't want me back, why'd you have to act like that?! It's confusing to the core, because I know you want it. Oh, and if you don't wanna be something substantial with me then why do you give me more? Babe I know you want it." I tried to pull away from it, but this song had me in an iron grip. "Won't someone stop this song, so I won't sing along? Someone stop this song, so I won't sing-" My song was cut silent as the other doubled its strength. "Aim, pull the trigger! Feel the pain getting bigger! Go insane from the bitter feeling! Trippin' super psycho love!" I had to break this now. I felt myself fading quickly; this thing was possessing me. I pulled out my strongest song. The project I had worked on for months and still hadn't finished. "The question asked in order, to save her life or take it, the answer no to avoid death,the answer yes would make it, make it!" The force pulled back a little. I took this chance and caught it off guard to attack it with another song. The first project I had ever done. No doubt this was going to pack a punch. "I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out. When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth!" The dark entity pulled away as I reclaimed myself. "I waited eight long months. She finally set him free. I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks and we caught on fire, She's got it out for me,but I wear the biggest smile." I let go as the chorus caught my whole being. It'd didn't feel as if I was draining my strength. It felt like I was doubling it and regaining strength I'd lost long ago. "Whoa, i never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now. But God does it feel so good, cause I got him where I want him now.And if you could then you know you would. 'Cause God it just feels SO-" I gasped and opened my eyes. I found myself in the Great Hall, sitting on my legs. "Damn. Based upon your analysis, I had given this a 80 percentile of success." I looked up. Vanitas and the man in the shroud stood beside each other. "I told you she was stubborn." Vanitas said. My hands were tied behind my back. "Where's Xoncron? And Rixec and William and Ventus?!" I asked. "Oh, they're in good hands." Vanitas said, casually. "What do you mean?!" I said. "Well....Xoncron may have managed to really piss me off when you had your moment and I might have let loose a little." I stared up in shock. "You mean-?!" "Yes." Vanitas grinned from ear to ear. "YOU BASTARD! YOU SON OF A-" I started to yell and then I doubled over. "No....this is my fault." I saw their faces in my head. "See?" The man in the shroud said. "She will not fight against you. Test it for yourself." Vanitas snapped his fingers. The bonds on my hands fell away. "Come, Lexa." Vanitas commanded. "No." I said. "What?!" "Not a chance. You're gonna pay. You're gonna feel what I feel. I'm going to make you wish you never exist." I stopped for a moment. I had nothing else to loose. I wasn't going to get home without help. I couldn't do this alone. I had nothing to lose. "I GIVE MY HEART TO THE DARKNESS!" I ceased to know what became of myself as my hear floated away into a safe, warming light. "Sleep, child. We will have much to learn when you awaken." I smiled at the soothing voice. It was obvious that the man was older much older than I, and yet it was familiar. I felt completely safe as I slept in the light. Wow, I am on a roll. Xoncron, have fun pissing off Vanitas. I'm sure you'll find a way. I'm sure all of you can figure out what'll happen to me when the darkness consumes. In fact, I'm letting you control that part. Have fun!

Axel, to me, is the face of Kingdom Hearts; he was really the character that got me into this. It was his voice, his personality, the way he did things that really pulled me into the Kingdom Hearts series; if it wasn't for Axel, I don't think I'd be as big of a Kingdom Hearts fan as I am now.

I looked over. I made not a sound but motioned for Rixec to sit next to me. He did and we sat for at least an hour before I made a noise. I started singing. "Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorryYou don't know how lovely you areI had to find you, tell you I need youTell you I set you apart Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questionsOh let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tailsHeads on a science apartNobody said it was easyIt's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easy." My voice caught and I felt my eyes water.No one ever said it would be this hardOh, take me back to the start." "Lexa?""Don't interrupt me." "I was just guessing at numbers and figuresPulling the puzzles apartQuestions of science, science and progressDon't speak as loud as my heartAnd tell me you love me, come back and haunt meOh and I rush to the startRunning in circles, chasing our tailsComing back as we areNobody said it was easyOh it's such a shame for us to partNobody said it was easyNo one ever said it would be so hardI'm going back to the start." I felt hot tears running down my face. I started wiping my face with my right sleeve. "Even in the real world, I would nearly cry over this song...." I said. Rixec suddenly embraced me. I started crying harder. I felt a second pair of strong arms wrap around me. "It's okay. It's okay." Xoncron said. I leaned into Xoncron. "I...I...." I couldn't stop. I stayed like that for who knows how long. After a while, I felt the need to explain. "That....was about...I miss everyone back home...and I'm rather shocked about my assistant..."I said. "That's right; Vanitas was your assistant in your posts, right?" "Not just that: Vanitas is my muse, the source of my work and projects and writing,my imagination personified. I feel as if someone's torn a hole in my heart where my imagination." I said. "I'm in love with my work, you could say." I laughed weakly."What's that supposed to mean?" Xoncron said. "Wouldn't you like to know? Unfortunately, that's one of the secrets I need to keep." I said. "You gonna be okay?" Rixec said. I nodded. "I'll be okay. I just had a lot on my mind." I smiled a bit. "I've made a decision: you two are picking where we go next, I honestly don't care! Anywhere but here and near!" I laughed. "That's the Lexa I know!" Xoncron said, lightly punching me in the arm. I grinned, feeling much more like myself. "Yep, anywhere but here and near. Have I made a rhyme?" I said. "You talk just like you post: random." Xoncron said. "Yep, and that's not gonna change, ever." I said. "So, our destination: where to?"

I was still in shock when I woke up. I shot up about to yell my head off. "Calm down; we're okay." Rixec said, giving me a thumbs up. "OKAY? WE'RE OKAY?!" I grabbed the front of Rixec's clothes, shaking him back and forth, laughing and still kind of pissed. "Oh, my God, never do that again." I let go of Rixec, back hitting the ground. "Correction: Never do that again, unless necessary." I couldn't stop laughing. "Oh. My. God. Freaking out. So much. I sound. Like. An idiot." I said between laughs. "Twilight Town again, huh? I don't know about you but I could use a nice nap..." I felt my eyes droop. "I used so much energy..." "Sleep, Lexa. You're in safe hands." Rixec said. "If you do weird stuff to me while I'm sleeping, I'll..." I felt sleep pull me under before I could finish. This time, it was just regular, black-and-blank, exhausted sleep. I felt like I'd pulled an all-nighter. Which I probably had. "....wonder when she'll get up. It's been a while." "Relax; she used a lot of power back there. I don't blame her for sawing a few logs. All the same, she's kind of cute when she's asleep." "Yeah, she looks so harmless and innocent." "Very innocent. How old did she say she was?" "17.""She looks younger, Xoncron." "Yeah." "About before...""You did what was necessary, Rixec." "I'm still sorry for freaking you out." "Say sorry again, Rixec, and I'm throwing you outside." I woke up much later. "And so the pyromaniac returns to the land of the living."Xoncron said. I rubbed my eyes and looked around. I was on a bed in the Mansion. I yawned. "How long was I out?" I asked. "Oh, it was about....11:00 am when we got back here and it's....10:34." "PM?" "Nope: A.M." I groaned. "Out for a whole day?!" I said. I stood up. "Any signs of the Organization?" I asked. "None." Xoncron said. "Good." I replied.I walked out of the room. I had been in the room that had been blocked off in KHII. "Where's everyone?" I asked. "Rixec's outside, keeping watch. I think William and Ven are downstairs in the computer room." Xoncron said. "I wonder..." I said. "Xoncron, follow me." I walked upstairs to the library, then down into the computer room. "Morning!" Ven called back, the two facing the computer. "Do you mind if I try something?" I asked. "Sure." William moved out of the seat and I sat in her place. The OS was very much like Windows . "Internet access....Yes!" I clicked on the Internet icon. "What's your thinking, Lexa?" Xoncron asked. I typed the address into the bar. I gasped as I saw the site. "We can still get on KH13!" I logged in. "What are you going to do?" Xoncron asked. "PM DChuich about our situation." "And what good is that?!" Xoncron said. "At least we'll stop even more users from this." I looked at the active users list. I was, by far, the most barren I'd ever seen it. Only a few dozen users were still on all together. I shook my head then clicked to the PM box. Suddenly, the internet signal cut off. "Great!" I said, throwing up my hands. "It was a good idea." William said. "Well, that's a damn good use to me! GOD!" I briskly walked out of the mansion. I summoned the Keyblade. I yelled and threw it at a tree. It stuck a few good inches. Unable to bring myself to resummon it. I sat down and hit the ground a few times. Xoncron put a hand on my shoulder. "I hate me." I said and closed my eyes. "You made that quite clear in that letter you gave us." "I know...OH, SH!T!" I smacked my forehead. "What?!" Xoncron said. "We forgot about Snow." I said. "Snow'll be just fine." Xoncron said. I didn't talk for a while, just listening to nothing. "I shouldn't have snapped at William. I'll tell her sorry when I chill out." I said. "We'll figure this out." Xoncron said. "I'm at that place where you really don't know where else to go. In the real world, I was just so ready to be anywhere else, but now that I'm....I need to be alone for a while, Xoncron." I said. "Okay. Promise you won't leave." It wasn't a question. "I'm not going anywhere." I said. I sat in silence as Xoncron walked back inside. "What now?" I said to myself. My heart is silent, my mind dizzied.....Only time will tell.....

I want my name to be changed to Keyblade Master LexaIIIV. Thank you! ^_^

VIVA LA ORDER!

. .. ... .... ..... ....... ........ ......... .......... ............. I just made half a christmas tree. Fear me.

I bit my lower lip. "I know that look. Whatever you're thinking, no." Xoncron said. "But-" I looked at Vanitas. "No. Lexa, he's-" "Not thinking of leaving, are we?" We all turned around to see 10 people in Organization coats, one without: Master Xehanort. "Organization XIII." I said in awe. Oh, shut up, all of you; it's not my fault I like the first, and TRUE, Organization. Minus Saix. I saw four people had their hoods down: Saix (Yeah, I know, Isa, IDC!), Braig, Xemnas and Ansem. "Well, you've done a spectacular job defeating Vanitas. So, despite your previous transgressions, we're offering you a free entry, Lexa." Xemnas said, coolly. "What?" I said. "Join us. We'll be sure to handle your friends quite well." Saix said. "Well, since you said it, Saix...No chance in hell." I said. "That wasn't an offer. You're joining us." Ansem said. "And like I said, not a chance in hell." I answered. "Why do you think we let you all so far in our base to fight only one of us?" Braig said. "Hey, Braig, how's that burn holding up?" I snapped. Braig laughed. "Oh, it'll be like living with Larxene again. Except I think you might be even harder to control." "F!ck. You." I said, gritting my teeth. I suddenly felt Xoncron's hand on the back of my hood, pulling me up and away. I looked down to see Ventus's glider holding Rixec and William (using your current name to avoid confusion). I looked back as the tower disappeared behind me. "Xoncron....I'm sorry...." I said, holding on. "What matters is you're safe." Xoncron said. I smiled. Maybe my luck was going up.

"Lexa! Lexa! Lexa, wake up!" I heard a faint voice. I'm trying, dammit. I thought, frustrated. My eyes fluttered. I saw a girl standing above me, shaking me up. I felt so...weak. "Vanitas...where's Vanitas?" I asked, breathlessly. "Fighting Ventus." she said. I shot up, then fell back down. "Oww...." I groaned. "I feel like I got ran over by a semi." "Lexa!" I shot up again as I heard Xoncron's voice. This time Xoncron caught me before I fell over. "Lexa, you undeniable jackass! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" Xoncron yelled at me. This was the first time I'd ever seen him pissed. "...Sorry?" I tried. "This is beyond sorry, this is-" Xoncron stopped. "Never again. Ever." "Okay." I replied. I concentrated and said, "Cura." I felt some of my strength return, enough to fight well enough. I stood up to see Vanitas smash the end of Void Gear into Ven's chest, knocking him back. I jumped in front of Ven, blocking Vanitas. "Move the HELL out of the way, wench." Vanitas said. "No." I said. "I mean it, Lexa, I won't hesitate to kill you." Vanitas said, fury increasing Xoncron and a new friend of his stood beside me. "Quick introduction: Rixec-Lexa; Lexa-Rixec." Xoncron said. I nodded. "You won't kill me; you NEED me." I said. "True enough. But-" Suddenly, Xoncron was no longer beside me, but in front of me. Vanitas held his wrist back with one hand and held Void Gear under his chin with the other. "We don't need him. Choose, Lexa, Ventus or Xoncron." I felt the fires within relight themselves, as if my blood was pure gasoline. "Let. Him. Go." I said. "So, Xoncron it is. Move." Vanitas challenged. I moved, alright. The only problem is, I honestly do not remember the next 15 minutes of my life. Completely blacked out. The next thing I see is me straddling Vanitas with Bond of Flame pointed at his face, screaming bloody murder. I regained control and loosened up. I dare say Vanitas looked worse for the wear. "Lexa?" I turned around. The group of five stared in caution and awe as I stepped away from Vanitas. He groaned as I got off. "Lexa, are you cool?" Xoncron said. "Yeah, I'm cool. What just happened? I kind of blacked out." I said, nervously rubbing the back of my head. "What happened?!" Xoncron said. "What happened is you totally lost it. I had to give everyone earplugs and use a lot of Reflect spells. I've never seen you that pissed." "Do you happened to remember what songs I used?" I asked. "Um..."Xoncron thought. "Well," Rixec said. "I remember you screaming "raining blood' at the top of your lungs at one point." I smacked my forehead. "Oh, yeah, that probably was about as pissed as I can get. Pissed: Level- Raining Blood by Slayer." I said. "Did anything else happen while I was out?" "Yeah, Ventus here got his ass handed to him." Xoncron said. "No offense, Ven." Alright, all of you: you may all take liberty of the 15 minutes I freaked out. Have fun, William. Oh, and by the way, you are all doing a spectacular job in my opinion, especially you, Rixec, since you had to jump in so late. Keep up the good work, guys!

I honestly have defeated all of the Spyro games for the PS1/PS2 series seveal times, minus Enter the Dragonfly and that's impossible, Night of the Eternal Darkness for Gameboy, and Shadow Legacy, quite recently actually.

Where ever Vanitas was taking me, it was going to take FOREVER. He refused to say another word to me other than, "Shut up, I'm driving." I had tried to make a few conversations; I admit more than one was pure fangirly-ness, but not the point. The point is, Vanitas was taking me far away from any help I could get. As the time extended, I noticed my back was throbbing slightly. "Hey, can I ask you something?" I said casually from one of the copilot's chairs. "If it amuses you. I can't say if I'll answer." Vanitas smirked. "What the hell did you do to my back? I want to know so, if it gets infected, I'll know what to do." Vanitas turned toward me for the first time. "What?" he asked, eyes narrowed. "I didn't do anything. Show me." I pulled up my coat and shirt. "I...DEFINITELY did not do that." I pulled my coat back down. Vanitas had turned back to the windshield, now with a contemplative look on his face. I giggled. "What?" Vanitas sighed in annoyance. "You look like Xoncron's 'plotting' face." "Hmph. You better save those memories..."Vanitas trailed off. "Ah, our destination." I looked out. "OH, HELL, NO!" I said as I saw The World That Never Was. I walked briskly to the back of the ship and summoned Bond of Flame. I then proceeded to stab the blade as hard as I could through the floor. I sat on my knees and gripped the blade as hard as I could. The ship landed and the doors opened. I glared at the floor as Master Xehanort boarded. "Welcome to your new home." Vanitas said, mockingly. "Vanitas, would you?" Master Xehanort said. Vanitas nodded, then walked toward me. I looked up. "Don't you dare." I growled. Like, LITERALLY, growled. Vanitas took a step back. "Master...?" "Now, Vanitas." Xehanort commanded. Lexa! Yeah, Voice in my head? Think of a song, anything you can use against him! You're in more danger than you know; your darkness is reacting to Vanitas's! That caught my attention. I panicked, mind blank. DO SOMETHING! My mind went into automatic. A wave of fire erupted from my Keyblade as I thought of one of the most difficult projects I had ever done, and never finished: Through the Fire and Flames. "The hell?!" Vanitas leaped back. I rushed forward. Xehanort did the wise thing and moved the hell out of the way. I ran until I reached the Altar of Naught, Vanitas on my tail. "No where left to run, Lexa! Give up!" I stood at the ledge of the tower. "Lexa!" A voice called down. I saw a Keyblade Glider with two people on it. "Oh, no." I said in dread, fires still burning bright. "Ventus!" Vanitas said, his attention turned away from me. Alright, let's see what I can do. I built up the flames, my feet rising briefly as I sent a wave of fire at the Glider, pushing it far, far, far away from Vanitas's grasp.The song stopped. I fell on my knees, panting. "YOU STUPID GIRL!" Vanitas shouted, infuriated. The last thing I saw before passing out were those burning, golden eyes grasping my shoulders as I fell into unconsciousness. Xoncron, Snow....I'm sorry......

Don't make the same this mistake I did and buy Re:Coded. It fails in almost everyway a game can. Here's why: Gameplay: BBS wannabe, level-up system is very...buggy (no pun intended) Story: You could read the wikipedia page and get about the same amount of 'immersive' story it has. Overly used worlds, overly used storyline in the worlds, very disappointing for a Kingdom Hearts game Other problems I had: Only two save slots, very laggy when there are too many enemies on screen (pardon me for a moment , YOU FAIL, SQUEENIX!), very little replay value, no new bosses in here, all of them are re-hashes of old ones, the graphics in DAYS are much better, need I go on to the "IT'S A FAIL REMAKE OF Kingdom Hearts I FOR THE DS' rant anymore?

Ahh, so you're Rixec. I was wondering who you were. Well, this is going to make Xoncron's day. Anyway, sorry if the RP a bit confusing, I'll send you a small summary of the stuff that connects to me and Xoncron's story if need be. Have fun!

(ACK! I have writer's block! T_T I would post the next part, but I can't think of what happens next T_T)

"I apologize, Lexa, but there has never been an event like this before in any recorded history." Yen Sid said. I looked down. "Do not despair; it is well enough you came to me. Much has happened as of late." I looked up. "So, what now?" I said. "My advice is to follow your heart. It will open the path to you." Yen Sid answered. "For now, rest. You two have been through much." "Yes, Master Yen Sid." Xoncron said. I watched Xoncron sleep. He still looked like he was plotting, even in his sleep. I refused to sleep; I wasn't going to take ruining a good night's rest for Xoncron and Snow. I still couldn't believe that I'd managed to convince Xoncron into letting Snow inside. It was chilly outside. I had thought long and hard about my next move. There was only one decision that felt right. I reached into my coat and pulled out a pencil and notebook. I began writing furiously. Xoncron and Snow, I'm sorry for leaving you both like this, but nothing else makes sense. I could never forgive myself if I let Vanitas hurt you. I've got this feeling that I'm being watched very closely and I can't afford to have you either of you hurt because of it. Don't come looking for me; I'll be safe, alright? No matter what happens, DO NOT COME AFTER ME! I'm a walking bio-hazard. My heart is telling me what I must do. Let me do as it says, okay? I realize now that I'm meant to go alone on this journey. I'll keep the both of you close to my heart. Lexa. I was in silent tears by the end. I quickly shook them off. I tiptoed past Xoncron's and Snow's sleeping forms. I hurried outside to the brand-new gummi ship Yen Sid had called for us. I went inside the cockpit and started it up. I looked back once. I nearly stopped myself, but I hit the gas and got out of there as fast as it would go. "Where to now...." I said to myself. I was really glad that I was a pro at the gummi ship levels in KHII. Otherwise, I would have been freaking out. I felt my eyes suddenly droop. No, no, no, not now, not now! I lost myself to the blackness of dreamless sleep. I re-awoke to the sound of someone else driving the ship. I sat up. "About time." I gasped. "You..." I said. "Just to answer the question you are about to ask, yes: I have commandeered your 'fine' vessel and, as such, you are mine." Vanitas stood up from the pilot's chair, grinning. I backed to the wall behind me. "Scared, Lexa?" he said, walking foward. Those eyes of his must have had some power behind them; I couldn't look away. I felt as if he were slowly gaining access to my innermost parts of my heart and mind. "Now, then: for someone who's so new to this world, you seem to know a lot." Vanitas pinned my arms above my head. He was close, WAY too close. "Abandoning your friends like that must have taken a lot of guts." I tried to make a coherent thought. "Well, I'll have time later for that..." He released me. I fell on my knees. I had to think fast: Vanitas could kill me at any moment. I was just lucky enough that Xoncron and Snow weren't with me.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Yes, it's your decision to whether to have an assistant or not. ^_^

POST COUNTER! Y U ONLY COUNT POST IN OTHER THREADS!? T_T I post a lot, just in the same threads.....

This sounds like a very interesting character! I can't wait to see you in the RP!

"Ya know, friends can hurt as much as they help." I glared at the man behind Xoncron's lifeless form, Bond of Flame smoldering in my hand. "Says the half-blind old dude." I retorted. "As if." Braig snorted. "You've really got old man's coat in a bunch, you know that?" "So you call him Old Man, too?" I said. "Might I ask: the hell was that for?!" "Oh, him? Shawncron? Need you to be isolated. See how well you do on your own." Braig shrugged, then summoned his arrowguns. "It's Xoncron. 'Z' sound, not 'sh'. Got it memorized?" I said. "Whatever. Let's see how well you fight." I wasn't prepared whatsoever when the first shot knocked me into the barrier between Snow and me. I felt the wind rush out of my lungs. "I can't guess why the old coot would have so much interest in you. You're about as half-baked as the others were." Braig said. "Shut...the....hell...up....you....asshat..." I said and stood up. I quickly used a Cure spell, then went after Braig. I'll dare say Xehanort was right in sending him after me: on every blow we met, every hit deflected. We both split apart, panting. "Not so half-baked after all?" I said. "Right on, kid." Braig grinned. "I've got this feeling the both of us are holding back. Come on; show me watcha got!" Braig broke into his limit, sending shots everywhere. I instinctively started sending out Fire spells, dodging out of the way. "Come ON, this definitely ain't your best!" I gritted my teeth together. I was NOT going to lose to this jerk. I sent a blast of pure sound at Braig. He covered his ears. "THE HELL?!" he yelled, falling onto his knees. I walked over to Braig, a wide radius of fire swirling around. I shoved Bond of Flame under his chin. "What the hell are you?!" he said. "I'm your f&ckin' nightmare." I said. "You asked for my best, well, there's more where that came from." I smirked. "Now you can be half-blind, half-baked, and half-deaf." I backed away. Braig quickly retreated. I remained standing still. "Lexa, you okay?" Snow asked. "Yeah. I won, didn't I?" I said, grinning. "Yep." Snow replied. Xoncron recovered consciousness. "What happened?" Xoncron said immediately. "Lexa here kicked some massive ass, that's what." Snow said. "Whose?" Xoncron asked. "Braig." I answered. "Ah. Speaking of kicking some ass-" Xoncron stood up and grabbed the front of Snow's shirt. "I need answers now, and I think you damn well have them." Xoncron said menacingly. "Dafuq?!" Snow said. "Oh, don't give me that: the sh!t didn't start hitting the fan until YOU showed up." Xoncron increased his grip. "Xoncron! Put him down!" I shouted. "Lexa, you've admitted it yourself that you are loyal to a fault. I'm not so sure if your "friend' here is who he claims to be." Xoncron retorted. Xoncron froze as he felt the tip of my blade hit his back. "Down. Now. I've also admitted that I really don't appreciate it when my friends are in danger. Xoncron, you are my best friend but I refuse to let you hurt Snow. So, please, before I blow up, Put. Him. Down." I said in a calm, cool voice. Xoncron slowly let go. "Since there are some suspicions about you, Snow, keep guard." I said. "Oh, you are really gonna-" "I suggest shutting up; I'm not in the mood." I de-summoned Bond of Flame. I walked past the two of them without saying a word. I went through the door to the tower and just as Xoncron was going up the stairs, I slammed the door. I briskly walked up the stairs. "Come on, Lexa." Xoncron caught up to me. "You're not really that mad, are you?" I refused to look at him. "I'm not talking to you." I said. "But you just did-" I walked through the next door and slammed it in his face again. "Lexa, look, I'm sorry, okay?" Xoncron grabbed my wrist and spun me around. "Look, you're the only friend I have here, alright? I just don't want to see you get hurt." I looked away. I waited a moment. I then proceed to punch him in the gut. "Do that again, and it'll be worse." (Sorry for the REALLY long posts, my imagination is demanding more ^__^)
