"Oh shut up." Roxas muttered at Sephiroth. He walked - with difficulty - over to where Marluxia had fallen still. He grabbed the cuff of Marluxia's coat with both hands and lifted him up against the wall. "Out with it. What's going on." Marluxia was silent. Roxas summoned a Keyblade and hit him in the stomach. "Tell us. NOW!" OoC: burnitup, you can do what Marly says.
Roxas was on the ground. Pain seared every inch of his being. he faintly heard Xemnas and Mickey save him from Marluxia, and he knew that they needed his help. Mickey cast healing light on Roxas. Roxas got up, but he was still critical from Marluxia's assault. Many others, like Zexion, came to fight, but this new Marluxia was too strong, too fast. He needs to get distracted. Roxas knew a way. It was the only one he could think of. It was risky though. (OoC: Imagine Roxas on the last hit of the Assasain's Promise) Roxas dashed behind Marluxia and leapt into the air. He swiped at Marluxia's head. Time seemed to slow, but his Keyblade met no resistance. Marluxia had warped, and was now behind Roxas. Roxas saw one of his friends about to make an attack, but that immediately stopped when Marluxia held Roxas up like a shield. Marluxia's scythe rested on Roxas's throat, razor sharp and deadly. (OoC: What? He used Namine as a human shield before >_>) "It seems I have the upper hand here. If you all drop your weapons, then I may let this betrayer live." Marluxia's attention was totally focussed on the rest of the heroes. He didn't notice that he wasn't holding the scythe edge as close to Roxas's throat as he should've been. Roxas gathered his energy and acted. He grabbed the scythe blade and pushed it forward. He then grabbed the handle and bashed Marluxia with the back of it. He had now turned and he slashed him three times. Each time he left a line of light. Roxas summoned the Oathkeeper in his other hand and began assaulting Marluxia viciously. Roxas dashed behind him and Marluxia's sycthe was covered in light. Somehow, Roxas's Keyblades were hovering behind him like Final Form and he was holding the scythe two-handed. Roxas rasied the scythe up into the air and brought it crashing down with all his might. "PULL!" He yelled for his firends to be ready. Marluxia flew backward, with a trail of light shooting into he and giving him momentum. Suddenly Roxas's keyblades shot forward of their own accord and became like a lethal frisbee. They struck Marluxia so hard he was launnched, scythe-less, into the mob of Roxas's friends. Roxas fell to one knee, drained of energy. Fighting a replica of both him and Marluxia, he was tired. Roxas looked over at the scythe in his hands. he got up and yelled, "Here, catch!" and threw it into the melee.
Roxas was suddenly in the Deep Jungle. Roxas didn't like it. The scenery was fine, but he had happened to materialise over the roof of the treehouse. Several metres above it. In mid air. Roxas took twice his body weight of roof with him when he crashed through the roof. Roxas groaned and stood, holding his back. (OoC:What? Sora survived >_>) "Well, if it isn't the betrayer." Roxas turned to the sound. He drew in a sharp breath and memories of the organization leapt into his mind. "Marluxia!" Marluxia raised a hand and a vine snaked over to it. He grabbed it and after a few seconds the vine transmuted into his scythe. Marluxia walked down the stairs without taking his eyes off of Roxas. Which was no mean feat considering that the stairs rotted away into nothing halfway along. Roxas looked down to see that vines were growing into a set of stairs for Marluxia. (OoC: In the CoM Manga Marluxia has control over plants) "What do you want Marluxia." Roxas glared at the Graceful Assasain. "You speak boldly to your superior, Number Thirteen." "I have a name Marluxia." Roxas said through gritten teeth. "Oh, I'm so sorry Sora." Marluxia flashed a cruel smile and held his scythe out in front of him. Roxas had summoned his Keyblades. "My name is ROXAS!" Roxas charged. He swung his Keyblades, but Marluxia was no longer there. "Wha-?" Roxas began, but he felt a weight on his shoulder. he looked to his left to see Marluxia right beside him with his hand on his shoulder. He leant in and whispered the Assasain's Promise into Roxas's ear. The next instand Marluxia was gone and a black Nobody symbol flashed in front of Roxas for an instant. As Roxas was distracted, Marluxia appeared behind him and attacked. Roxas tried to turn, but Marluxia warped again and launched him into a wall. "Roxas Roxas Roxas. You continue to disappoint me." Marluxia made a tisk tisk sound. "Says you. Last I heard Sora beat you so hard he almost ripped you a new heart." Marluxia wore a look of barely constrained rage. "SORA IS A WEAK PUPPET NOW. I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM STRONGER." Roxas laughed weakly and stood with his Keyblades ready. Marluxia glared and Roxas before warping right in front of him and uppercutting him into the air. Roxas blocked two strikes and kicked off the wall and out of Marluxia's range. "Still not convinced? Then maybe this will enlighten you!" Marluxia dashed forward and launched into a lightning-fast series of combos. Roxas felt like he was being attacked by seven Marluxias. But as Marluxia tried to finish with a powerful horizontal slash, Roxas rolled aside. The deadly scythe passed so close the tip of one of the spikes in Roxas's hair was sliced off. Roxas straighteed and ran forward. But he didn't attack Marluxia. By the time Marluxia had realised that he hadn't hit roxas, it was too late. Roxas slapped the scythe up into the air and out of his hands with oblivion and unsummoned his Keyblades. He jumped and grabbed the scythe before pummeling Marluxia viciously. Roxas finally uppercutted him into the air and threw the scythe at him. Roxas landed and panted. "How'd... you... like... that?" Marluxia was now somehow sitting on the guardrail of the verandah. He looked nowhere near what someone who had just been beaten by their own weapon should look. "Roxas. Why do you deny it? You're weak without that pathetic Sora. And even if you were whole, you couldn't beat me. There was a reason why the Superior put me in charge of Castle Oblivion. If that little witch Namine hadn't interfered, or if Vexen's stupid experiment hadn't failed, then maybe we would have had the Keyblade master as out puppet." Roxas found this immensely funny. "'Superior'? Hah, you have no idea what happened. You're just the ghost of a Nobody. You're even worse than the real Marluxia. XEMNAS IS DEAD. Sora killed him, AND I HELPED HIM DO IT!" Marluxia was surprised. "That can't be-" Roxas had simply distraced him. With a bound, Roxas was in mid-air in front of Marluxia. Before Marluxia could even register that Roxas was there, much less hit him, Roxas struck. Marluxia hit the ground a metre to the left, small spots of blood shooting from his mouth as he fell. Roxas landed and looked up. Marluxia got up and touched where his cheek was swollen and bruised from the Keyblade strike. "You will pay for that, insolent cur!" Marluxia summoned black circles ringed in energy and rose petals on the floor. Roxas leapt away from a circle, and as he was in midair, Marlucia stuck him seven times before slicing him into the verandah's supports. The whole structure collapsed on Roxas. Marluxia strode over and lifted Roxas's limp body up and tossed him into a wall. Roxa groaned and tried to move. Marluxia held his scythe against Roxas's head to take aim and raised his scythe for the final strike- OoC: If you've seen the Final Mix+ Marluxia boss fight you'll recognize Rob Scythe, Assasain's Promise (Doom spell) and the black dots. Just so you know, Roxas appeared above the house and began fighting Marluxia almost immediately, so you guys who are there will probably be there around the time when Marluxia is about to kill Roxas.
"When you two are done chatting, we have to go." Roxas landed lightly on the floor of the Third District. "There are more Heartless coming. We have to move and find their leader. We don't have much time." Roxas turned around, coming face-to-face with a mob of Neoshadows. "Make that no time." He summoned his Keyblades.
Roxas woke up lying under the bench of the Acessory Shop. "Urgh, my head. What happened to the other me?" Roxas got up - and got up again when he bashed his head on the bench. He pushed open the doors and found himself in the courtyard of the First District. "Where am I? I've never been here before..." Roxas walked up the steps and into the second district. He faintly saw the Riku Replica (not that he knows him. Sora spent such a short time as a Heartless, Roxas has none of Sora's memories) on top of the Gizmo Shop. Through the window Roxas spied Leon inside the Hotel. Roxas turned to the right and with a series of jumps was on Traverse Town's rooftops. Roxas turned right and hopped through the small window, coming face-to-back with Sephiroth. Roxas was almost impaled on the super-long sword he held reversed. Sephiroth's wing obscured his view of the Third District, so Roxas couldn't see anything at all. "Hey, you mind moving?"
OoC: Awww, you missed me? :) By the way guy who's playing Xemnas, you can't have been hit by a Keyblade. Roxas stole the Keyblades, rememeber? If you got hit by his beam-shooting Nobody symbols then that'd be cool. Hmmmm...... let's hope this doesn't fade away before we even kill Roxas.... *sweatdrop* DATA ROXAS *whew* So far the characters are pretty IC. You're all good at this. :) I could just imagine all of us frozen in place until someone else comes and we all automaticly unfreeze... lol
"Superior!" Roxas exclaimed as Xemnas appeared to fight the Data Roxas. Roxas and Xemnas fought the Data Roxas, but he was too tough. Roxas managed to knock him into the air. Xemnas got up and grumbled about help. The Data Roxas threw its arms out wide and thirteen Nobody symbols surrounded him in a circle before they spread out and shot down beams of light. Roxas jumped back and leapt into the air to hit the seemingly defencesell Data Roxas. It spun its Oblivion at Roxas and orbs of light slammed into Roxas like a machine-gun. "Aargh!" Roxas landed with a thump on the floor. "He's too tough! I can't beat him!" The Data Roxas landed and rested the tips of its Keyblades on the floor. It suddenly readied them and charged. Roxas stood his ground and desummoned Oathkeeper. Time slowed to a crawl as the Data Roxas prepared to strike through him. With a surge of strength, Roxas struck an uppercut which knocked the Data Roxas's Keyblades into the air. "GIVE ME STRENGTH!" yelled Roxas, throwing his left hand into the air. The Data Roxas's Keyblades spun down and hung, floating, behind Roxas's back, similar to Final Form. The Data Roxas shrunk back. "HYAH!" Roxas dashed forward and swung both his Keyblades diagonally like an X. At the same time, the hovering replica Keyblades spun in a wide circle, knocking the Data Roxas back. Roxas dragged Oblivion across the floor, releasing a blade of light which knocked the Data Roxas into the air. While Roxas leapt into the air and began striking, the replica Keyblades became light-streaked bullets, shooting at supersonic speeds through the Data Roxas. Roxas finished his combo by combining his Keyblades and spinning like a wheel, knocking the Data Roxas away. Roxas landed and stood, panting. The replica Keyblades hovered back and floated in an X-shape behind Roxas's back. OoC: Of course, the Keyblade stealing and the ultimate move are all from the Final Mix+ Roxas fight.
Roxas turned his head at the sound. "Axel!" The other Roxas took the opportunity and attacked. (From now on I'll call him Data Roxas) Roxas brought up Oblivion and blocked a swing from the Data's Oathkeeper. The Data Roxas attacked with Oblivion and Roxas crossed his Keyblades in an X to block. Roxas backshuffled as the Data Roxas brought Oathkeeper down in a powerful strike. Roxas locked it against the basement's floor with his own Oathkeeper. Roxas swiped across with Oblivion, but the Data Roxas ducked and used the moment where Roxas was overbalanced to lift the Oathkeeper off the floor and jump back. Suddenly, the Data Roxas tapped the ground with his Keyblade and seven Samurai Nobodies appeared. Roxas spun his Keyblades and bisected the crowd of Nobodies, but the Data Roxas slashed him with Oblivion while he was distracted. Roxas slid backwards. "I had hoped it wouldn't come to this..." Roxas clicked his fingers and five Samurai Nobodies appeared to stand between him and the Data Roxas. There was a flash and the Samurai were bisected by the Data Roxas's Keyblades. Both Roxas and the Data Roxas stood back and panted. They were evenly matched. "Axel! A little help?"
Roxas sprinted through the Tram Common and into the woods. he arrived just in time to see King Mickey (not that he recognised him) unlock the gate and enter the Mansion. "I'm going to find out what's going on here..." Roxas opened the door and slid inside. Mickey was nowhere to be seen. Roxas took the stairs two at a time and turned left towards the White Room. "Namine?" She wasn't there. Here sketchpad was on the table. Roxas picked it up and looked at the drawing of three symbols. Heartless, Nobody and something else... Roxas crossed the balcony and entered the library. There was a yellow crayon on the table, and an unfinished copy of the drawing. Roxas sketched the third symbol, and the research areas were revealed. Roxas descended the stairs and entered the computer room. The computer was still smashed and sparking. Roxas turned and entered the area where he had fought Axel. Someone else was there. The figure was wearing an Organization XIII coat, and had his back turned to him. "Hey, you! Do you know what's going on?" The figure turned and summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion. "You have no idea!" Roxas summoned his Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades and spun them in readiness.
Roxas walked through the back alley and out into the Sandlot. "God, I hope I don't run into Larxene." Roxas muttered to himself. As he rounded the bend he saw an (almost) scarier sight. "Xaldin? What's he doing here? Sora destroyed him... I guess I can't complain. Sora destroyed ME." Roxas began to feel hot. Perpetual sunset was fairly hot. Roxas threw off his Organization XIII coat. After a moment of thought, he tossed it away, for it to settle over a bin. "Good riddance." Roxas walked into the Sandlot. He hoped Xaldin wouldn't recognize him now. After all, he hadn't been in the Organization for long. Behind him, he heard a commotion. He turned and saw pieces of sofa fluff float out of The Usual Spot. He saw a figure on top of a roof, and he reasoned it was someone Sora knew. "Just what is happening in this town?" Roxas ducked behind some benches, and eased his way across the Sandlot behind cover. "I bet the Mansion has something to do with this. I think I'll pay that creepy guy a visit." Roxas broke cover and went to the entrance of the Tram Common. "And maybe Namine..." OoC: Roxas doesn't know that DiZ is Ansem the Wise, and he doesn't know that he died. He was still partly seperate from Sora at the time. And I think the Mansion would be the logical place for the Roxas Replica to be, right?
OoC: So... does this take place after KH2 or before KH2? (I'm just running with after KH2 Roxas woke up with a start. His head was throbbing and he felt slightly dizzy. He was lying on the bed in his room, the blue fish-lamp shining brightly with the Twilight Town sunlight. Roxas slid off the bed and stood up, looking around. He couldn't remember how he had got there, and he was wearing his Organization XIII coat, with his Twilight Town clothes on underneath. "What's going on here?" Roxas said quietly to himself. He opened the window and leant out. Twilight Town seemed normal, but the streets were completely devoid of life. Or were they? Out of the corner of his eye, Roxas saw the edge of an Organization XIII coat flip out of view. Roxas ran to the door, only to find it locked from the outside. "Something's wrong here..." Roxas dived out of the window, rolling as he landed. He flipped his hood up over his face through force of habit and followed the lead into the alley.
Just a question, is this the dual-wielding, Organization XIII Roxas or the KH2 Twilight Town Kingdom Key Roxas? And... do you start us off or something?
........................................ Kadaj is here? Now that's just plain silly.... Nomura: This IS Final Fantasy Paladin12345678: Good point
I CALL ROXAS! :D The Key of Destiny shall be mine! (Roxas should have totally beaten Sora...) Anyway, being Roxas, do I fight a replica of myself for Floor 1.... or do people fight me? It would be a bit random, Roxas fighting himself. Oh wait, he already did... A dual-wielder vs a dual-wielder would get pretty crazy. I just hope I can be my fav character. ROXAS IS AWSOME
OMFG! THE TALL KNIGHTS CANNOT BE XEHANORT! GAHHH!! THE KNIGHTS ARE ALL ORIGINAL CHARACTERS! MEANING THAT IT IS NOT XEHANORT!!! Back on-topic, I think the mind/conciousness idea is a good one, but slightly flawed. Person loses heart=heartless Strong-hearted person loses heart=nobody and heartless But then thing is, nobodies still have conciousness and minds. At least Organization XIII did. So.... yeah.... But there is still the question of where the minds/conciousness's of the 'lesser' Nobodies went...
You know you're obsessed with FF when you beat up little animals with a stick to 'level up', and then act like you're stronger afterwards.
