The 14th Key ~ Chapter 5

Chapter 6 is up! And the battle is INTENSE!!!! Will Roxas win? Or will Xed? Read and find out! (oh, and sry for the messup in the topic title...*ggrrrrr...*)

~Chapter 6~

Everyone was shocked beyond belief.

“14 KEYBLADES?????” Axel yelled.
“Pfft, she can’t fight with all of those!” Larxene said. “There’s no way!”
“W.O.W.” Xigbar said.
The rest of the members just had their mouths open in surprise. Xemnas crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow.

Roxas was equally surprised. He just stared at her. Her and the 14 identical Keyblades that she held so easily.
“Earth to Roxas, you ready to continue our fight?” Xed said, pleased by his reaction. Roxas blinked twice, knocking himself out of his trance.
“Yeah!” he said, raising his own two Keyblades. He knew this would be tough, but he could handle this. Xed nodded, raising the six in her hands. Roxas charged at her. As he did, she didn’t move. When he came close enough, all of the Keyblades except for the six in her hands disappeared. She flung one Keyblade from each hand at Roxas. He dodged both easily, and went to strike her. She used one from her left hand to block his attack, and lashed out attacks with the three others. Roxas desperately blocked attacks from her three Keyblades. Then, the two that she had flung out from before had boomeranged back and were now attacking Roxas, as if they had minds of their own. Roxas was constantly turning around, and then turning back to her, trying to block each attack. He was getting tired, not to mention very dizzy…
Suddenly, four of the Keyblades disappeared, leaving Xed with only two. Roxas rolled his eyes, smiling.

He could handle two.

She charged in, and Roxas dodged. The sounds of metal clashing echoed again and again, as they spun around and blocked and attacked.
“You know Roxas,” Xed said, blocking one of his attacks, “You’re pretty good!” She went to strike him, but he put up his Oathkeeper to block.
“You’re not too bad yourself!” he said, pushing on his Oathkeeper and forcing her back.
Then, Xed summoned eight more Keyblades, so she had a total of ten Keyblades to fight with. She threw six of them out like boomerangs, and continued to attack Roxas with the four in her hands. Roxas sighed in annoyance.

There was no doubt that she was very good at this.

She charged at him, and the two exchanged wild attacks. All the time, the six Keyblades Xed threw out boomeranged back and attacked Roxas from the back and the sides. So basically, he was forced to block attacks from 10 Keyblades. He couldn’t even try to attack her.
The fight went on for a while. She swapped out the Keyblades she used often, sometimes fighting with nine, other times she’d fight with five, and sometimes she’d take on Roxas with only one. All of the Organization members watched the fight soundlessly, both amazed and shocked. Xemnas stood there, expressionless, observing Xed.
Both Keybladers were growing tired, but neither would give in. Xed decided to call off all of her Keyblades except for one in each hand. Roxas smiled deviously.

He had a plan.

He charged at her, Oblivion raised high. Xed immediately jumped to the side, but this time Roxas jumped to the side with her, and swung at her. She jumped back, but Roxas ran at her again and swung. She found herself jumping back, trying to dodge his wild attacks. She gritted her teeth. She knew what he was trying to do: knock her off balance. She smiled deviously.

She had a plan.

Roxas swung again, but this time Xed almost fell over. She looked up to see Roxas coming at her. Right before he struck at her, she flung one of her Keyblades out in the air. Roxas then brought Oblivion down on her, but she held up her Keyblade lengthwise, so his Keyblade hit it instead of her. Roxas smiled as he quickly brought up his Oathkeeper.

She had done exactly what he was hoping she’d do.

He brought the Oathkeeper down on her Keyblade, and then brought the Oblivion down. He alternated Keyblades, banging on her Keyblade, over and over again, in his signature move. The force of his weapons on hers caused Xed to bend her knees in order to stay up. Roxas knew his plan was working. All he had to do was keep this up, and the victory would be his. Xed looked up at him, banging away wildly. He was in deep concentration, trying to make her fall. She looked up to see the Keyblade she had thrown out coming back towards her. She smiled, seeing that Roxas didn’t notice it.

He had done exactly what she was hoping he’d do.

The Keyblade whizzed past his head. She twisted her ankle out, spinning away from Roxas’ Keyblades and grabbing the weapon that flew past his head. Roxas hadn’t expected this, and he fell forward. She then kicked his Oathkeeper out of his hand, sending it clattering to the floor. She then turned around and brought on of her Keyblades down on Roxas, but Roxas held up his Oblivion to block the attack. She brought down the other Keyblade on Roxas, but he kept his weapon up to block her attack. She alternated Keyblades, banging on his Oblivion. Roxas’ eyes widened.

She was using his signature move on him!

“Stop…stealing…my…move!” Roxas shouted over the shower of blows she was inflicting on his weapon. She smiled, still banging away.
“I’m not stealing it! I’m borrowing it!” Xed shouted, smiling. He kept his weapon up, desperately blocking her attacks. He hadn’t figured on something like this happening.
Suddenly, Xed took the Keyblade in her right hand, and swung it out at Roxas’ left leg. It snagged behind his ankle, and she pulled it back towards herself. Roxas tripped and fell backwards onto the ground, dropping his Oblivion.
Once on the ground, he looked up at Xed, who was standing over him. She swung at Keyblade at him, stopping a few inches from his face. She held it there, while the Keyblade in her other hand rested at her side. Roxas gritted his teeth.

There was no way he could win.

She won.

Roxas sighed.

Xed smiled.

She had won.

There was no way he could fight back.

Roxas threw up his arms.

“I give up! Xed wins!”

The 14th Key ~ Chapter 5

Chapter 5! And Xed's weapon is finally revealed!!!! And WOW!!!! *devious smile*

~Chapter 5~

The outside fighting area was huge. There was a large dirt arena in the shape of a circle. It was about the size of the Hollow Bastion marketplace. All around it was a large a metal fence, rising up from the ground, and was about the height of one Xemnas standing on the shoulder of another Xemnas. By the time the four had walked outside, Lexaeus and Marluxia were fist-fighting onside the arena, with Vexen, Luxord, and Demyx watching. Demyx turned around to face them and smiled.
“Hey guys!†he called, as they walked up to him. He smiled at Xed.
“Hey Xed, I want you to meet some of the guys! This is Luxord.†Demyx said as Luxord walked forward, extending his hand. Xed took it and they shook hands.
“It’s nice to meet you.†She said. Luxord nodded, smiling.
“Likewise.†Then, Vexen stepped forward.
“This is Vexen,†Demyx said. Vexen and Xed shook hands, both smiling.
“And the two in the arena are Lexaeus and Marluxia.†He said. The two stopped their fighting and walked up to the fence.
“Nice to meet ya.†Marluxia said. Lexaeus nodded in agreement. Xed smiled.
“It’s Xedramon, right?†Lexaeus asked.
“Xed.†She said. He nodded. Axel put his hands on his hips.
“Are you two done? Roxas and I are going to fight.†He said. Marluxia shrugged.
“Sure, it’s all yours.†The two of them walked out of the gate and over towards the group.
“Hey people!†A voice that belonged to Xaldin called. Everyone turned around to see Xaldin, Larxene, Saix, and Zexion walking towards the group of Nobodies (and Xed).
“Hey guys.†Roxas called back. He turned to Xed.
“Xed, this is Xaldin, Saix, Larxene, and Zexion.†He said, pointing to each one as he said their names. “Guys, this is Xed.†Larxene walked up to her and circled her.
“So this is the weapons expert?†she said. She laughed bitterly. “How old are you kid?â€
“14, soon to be 15.†Xed replied, narrowing her eyes. She could tell already that she didn’t like Larxene. Larxene laughed again, and walked away to talk to Lexaeus.
“Don’t mind her.†Zexion said, sensing her anger. Xed looked up at him. He smiled. “She’s a jerk to everyone.†Xed smiled.
“Ok Roxas, are we going to get on with our fight?†Axel said. Roxas nodded.
“Ok, let’s go!†he said.
+++
Axel and Roxas were in their fighting stances. Everyone else, including Xed, was outside of the gate, watching.
“Ready to fight in 3…†Lexaeus called out.
“Good luck.†Axel said.
“…2…â€
“You too.†Roxas said.
“…1…â€
“Good luck guys!†Xed called out. Roxas smiled.
“…GO!!!â€
Both Axel and Roxas started to circle each other, their fists held up. Since Axel didn’t have a weapon at the moment, they decided to not use weapons. All of the Nobodies watching were cheering for either Roxas of Axel.
“I bet 400 munny that Axel wins!†Luxord yelled.
“I bet 500 that Roxas wins!†Demyx yelled back.
“300 on Roxas!†Xigbar said.
“450 on Axel!†Marluxia said. Xed rolled her eyes and smiled. She was cheering for both of them.

Axel lunged at Roxas with a punch, but Roxas dodged. Then, Roxas returned with a punch of his own, hitting Axel in his shoulder. Axel turned and punched Roxas in his arm. They continued like this for a while. Although it wasn’t as exciting as watching fighting with weapons, it was still exciting, and everyone cheered loudly.

“Those two can fight quite well.â€

Xed looked up to see Xemnas standing next to her.
“Yeah, they’re pretty good.†She said. He nodded. She wished he’d go away. She didn’t feel comfortable around him.
The crowd of Nobodies cheered loudly as Roxas pinned Axel to the ground, raising his fist and striking him repeatedly in his shoulder. Axel held up his hands.
“Okay! Okay! You win!†he shouted, pushing Roxas off of him, rubbing his now sore shoulder. Roxas stood up and smiled as the Nobodies who were rooting for him cheered loudly. Roxas smiled wider. Axel stood up.
“Good fight.†Roxas said. Axel nodded, smiling.
“Yeah, I’ll get you next time, though. Got it memorized?†he said. Roxas nodded. He then turned toward the group of Nobodies.
“Who’s next?†he shouted excitedly, still wanting to fight. Everyone looked around uneasily. Usually, with their weapons, they could easily take on Roxas. But without them, they didn’t really stand too much of a chance. The kid was FAST… Roxas smiled.
“Oh come on!†he shouted. “There has to be someone out there who wants to challenge me!â€

Silence.

“I’ll fight you.â€

Everyone looked at Xed, who had spoken. Everyone was shocked.
“You’re serious? You want to fight Roxas?†Demyx asked, stunned. Xed nodded.
“Sure, why not?†she said, smiling. Roxas nodded.
“Okay then.†Xed held up her hand.
“But, weapons are allowed.†She said. Roxas thought for a moment.
“Fair enough.†He said. She then walked into the arena, and the gate was shut after her. Saix leaned in closer to Xemnas.
“This is going to be interesting.†He said. Xemnas nodded slowly, crossing his arms.
“Indeed.†He said quietly. “Indeed…â€
+++
Roxas and Xed were standing in the arena. Roxas summoned his Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades. Xed just stood there with her arms crossed. Roxas cocked his head.
“Aren’t you going to get your weapon?†he asked, Xed shook her head.
“I don’t need it right now.†She said.
“You sure?â€
“Yep.â€

Outside of the fence, everyone was surprised.
“How long do you think she’ll last without a weapon against Roxas?†Zexion asked Xigbar. Xigbar shook his head.
“I’m not sure.â€
“Roxas is fast with those Keyblades…†Vexen said.
“I give her one minute.†Saix said.
“I give her one second.†Larxene said.

Lexaeus started the count.

“Get ready to fight in 3…â€
“Good luck, Roxas.†Xed said, smiling.
“…2…â€
“Uh…you too, Xed.†Roxas replied. Why is she wishing me luck? She’s the one without a weapon!
“…1…â€
Xed smiled deviously.
“…GO!!!â€
The crowd of Nobodies were cheering loudly. Roxas charged at her with his weapons. He swung his Oathkeeper at her head, but she quickly ducked, and moved to the side. Roxas swung it again at her. She ducked and stepped back. He swung again. She ducked and moved back. This time he swung the Oblivion at her feet. She jumped and landed without losing her balance. Roxas gritted his teeth. Man, she is FAST… Roxas continued to swing at her with his Keyblades, but she dodged every single attack.

“Wow, she’s fast!†Axel said, surprised.
“I’m impressed.†Xaldin said.

Roxas was growing tired of this. He couldn’t hit her. He took a breath and kept hitting at her. She dodged again and again.
“Stay STILL!!!†he shouted, still hitting at her. Xed smiled.
“Make me!†she shouted. He then flung both of his Keyblades at Xed. Xed quickly did a one-handed back flip and avoided the weapons. She landed, kneeling on the ground, perfectly on-balance. Roxas saw his chance. While she was down, he charged at her, Oblivion in his hand. He ran in front of her and brought it crashing down on her head—

CLASH!!!!!

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the arena. There was a flash of white light, and everyone grew quiet, wondering what was going on. Suddenly, gasps were heard.
“What the…?†Marluxia said, completely stunned.
“Holy smoof!†Demyx shouted.
“Impossible…†Xemnas muttered. She can’t…he thought…she couldn’t…

But she did…

Roxas was confused. His weapon should’ve hit her, but instead was blocked by something else. Roxas looked down at Xed. He gasped.

In her hand,

Blocking his attack,

Was a Keyblade.

Wait, a Keyblade?

SHE HAD A KEYBLADE?????

Xed, with one hand on the handle and one hand on the length of the blade, pushed against Roxas’ Keyblade, forcing him to stumble back. He stood there, mouth agape, completely and utterly shocked. Xed smiled in satisfaction, spinning the Keyblade around her fingers.
“What’s the matter?†she teased. “Surely a Keyblade master like yourself can handle one Keyblade, right?†Roxas shook himself out of his surprise.
“One Keyblade?†he said, rolling his eyes. “Come on, that’s too easy.†He said, letting his own two Keyblades rest at his sides in his hands. Xed nodded thoughtfully.
“You’re right, Roxas.†She said, smiling. “One Keyblade isn’t a challenge for you.†Roxas nodded. She smiled again.

It was sweet, but sly.

“So, you can handle one Keyblade, huh?†she said, holding her own Keyblade out in front of her. Suddenly, it began to glow a brilliant white color. She tossed it in the air. Once in the air, it split into 14 white balls of light. All of the light came down on her, but she acted quickly.

She reached up and grabbed two of the lights that formed into Keyblades at her touch. She crossed them bhind her back and they stayed there. She reached up and grabbed two more lights, and twisted her wrists. Now, two Keyblades hung from chains on her wrists. She reached up again and grabbed four lights, two in each hand, and brushed her hands against her hips. Four Keyblades, two on each side of her, appeared on chains connecting to her belts. She then finally reached up and grabbed the remaining six lights, three in each hand, and held them tight. She was now holding three Keyblades in each hand.

(And she had done all of this in 7 ½ seconds)

Everyone was stunned.

Roxas’ eyes grew wide in amazement and surprise.

Xed smiled deviously.

“But let’s see you handle 14!!!â€

lol :) she needs anger management :)

:D yay! thanks!

Sweet! New pairing! Hmmm...what should it be called?

RoXed? lol, i like that one :D

thanks! :D Since itsa friday, i hope to release another chapter :)

*starts on ch 5*

The 14th Key ~ Chapter 4

Chapter 4! :D I know its not totally exciting, but the next chapters are way more exciting, especially one thats coming up! (hopefully ch 6, maybe even starting in ch 5) *** As for the poll, even those without a weapon can still fist-fight ***

~Chapter 4~

The four of them walked up another flight of stairs. Axel, Demyx, and Roxas expected everyone to be in the living room, so they decided to head there.
“So you can really make weapons?” Demyx asked. Xed looked over at him.
“Yeah, is it really that hard to believe?” she replied, slightly amused. Demyx seemed a little embarrassed.
“I didn’t mean it like that…it’s just…” he started, trying to find the right words.
“You seem sorta young to be doing that stuff.” Axel finished. Xed shrugged.
“It’s what I do.” She said simply. Roxas looked at her.
“So do you fight?” he asked. Xed smiled at him.

That really pretty smile.

“Of course! I love to fight!” she said. Roxas smiled.
“What’s your weapon?” Axel asked. Xed narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking. She crossed her arms.
“Well, you won’t believe me, but I fight with a—“

“Hello?”

She was cut off by a voice that was coming from Xemnas’ office. They were all curious, so the four of them walked quietly over to the door, and listened. In the room, Xemnas was holding a phone to his ear. He looked bored. Then, he looked at the ceiling.
“Hello?” he repeated. There was silence. Suddenly Xemnas nodded.
“Hello, this is Xemnas.”
There was silence. Xemnas sighed.
“Yes, I’m calling about the weapons creator you recommended me to.”
More silence. Xemnas nodded.
“Yes, there happens to be a problem. A LARGE problem.”
More silence. Xemnas narrowed his eyes.
“Have you ever seen Xedramon?”
More silence. Xemnas rolled his eyes.
“Then you know how young she is.”
There was silence. Xemnas seemed to be ticked off.
“What’s the problem??? What do you mean ‘What’s the problem?’??? You sent me a 13 year-old girl to make my weapons!!!”
“I’m 14!” Xed hissed quietly. There was more silence. Xemnas gritted his teeth.
“You honestly expect me to believe that she can make weapons?” he yelled. Roxas looked down at Xed. She seemed sort of hurt at what Xemnas said. But nevertheless they continued to listen.
“There’s no way that girl can make weapons! I mean, she doesn’t even look strong!!” he said. Xed seemed more angry than hurt now. They could hear whoever that was on the other line laughing at Xemnas’ reaction. Xemnas seemed purely angry now.
“Give her a chance?? I don’t have time to give her a chance!” he yelled. Xed gritted her teeth. The guy on the other line said something. Xemnas laughed.
“There’s more to her than it seems?” he said, snorting. “All I see is a little kid who thinks she can—“

BAM!

Demyx, Axel, and Roxas looked down at Xed in surprise. She had just punched the wall next to the door—HARD—and left a dent. She then got to her feet and walked briskly towards the end of the hall, towards the stairs leading back to the Weapon Workshop. Roxas ran after her.
“Xed!” He yelled, trying to keep up with her. Man, she was fast. He chased her all the way back to the Workshop. She went to open the door, when he finally caught up with her and grabbed her wrist. She looked up at him. Her face showed an expression of pure anger, and her eyes shined with determination. She pulled her wrist out of his grip.
“Xed,” Roxas said, slightly out of breath, “Xemnas meant tha—“
“I know exactly what Xemnas meant, Roxas.” She interrupted angrily. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have work to do.” She said, before opening the door and shutting it closed. Roxas tried to open it. The door was locked. Roxas sighed.
“See you later.” He said, before walking away slowly.
+++
Roxas woke up. He looked over at his clock: 5:28. He grunted. He never really woke up this early, but he decided to today. He and Axel were going to practice fighting, and he wanted to get in some practice by himself. He sat up in bed.

I wonder if Xed’s all right…He thought. Since what had happened last night, Xed was in the Workshop for the rest of the night. She didn’t come out, even when he asked her to come join him for dinner. He was sort of…worried about her. He quickly got dressed and made his way towards the Workshop.
+++
Roxas knocked lightly on the Workshop door.
“Xed?” he said softly. He didn’t know why he was talking softly—everyone was asleep two floors above this one. He waited. No answer. He knocked again. There was still no response. Roxas then opened the door a little bit and looked inside.

No one was here.

He opened the door all the way and walked in. He then looked around and saw something amazing lying on the workbench.

It was Saix’s Claymore.

“Woah…” he breathed, moving closer. It looked exactly like his first one, but a lot…better. The edges were narrower, and sharper. The handle had been thinned for a better grip, and it had groves in the edges. It was a light gray-blue color, with pale moon-yellow streaks on it.

It was amazing.

And Xed had built it?

+++
Roxas walked into the kitchen, and out towards the training area outside.

“Good morning.”

Roxas jumped, startled. He turned around to see Xed, sitting at the kitchen table, drawing in one of her sketchpads. She seemed happy, like what happened yesterday didn’t happen. But to be safe, he decided not to bring it up. Roxas smiled.
“Good morning.” He said, walking over to where Xed was sitting. He looked over her shoulder. “What are you drawing?” Xed looked up at him.
“Axel’s new weapon.” She said, returning to her sketchpad. Roxas cocked his head.
“How do you design a weapon?” he asked, sitting in a seat next to her. She smiled, not looking up.
“Well, I’ll show you with Axel’s Chakrams.” She said, moving the paper so that it was between them. In order to be able to mark on it, Xed moved closer to Roxas, the sides of their faces almost touching. Roxas could feel the heat rising to his cheeks. He looked down at her paper to see a rough sketch of Axel’s weapon.
“First, I start off with a sketch of the old weapon. Then, I think of ways to enhance it.” She said. Roxas nodded.
“I can make the spikes on Axel’s Chakrams narrower, to cut down air resistance. I can also add small grooves along the base to it to cut back the air resistance as well. I can sharpen the spikes for a more ‘deadly’ effect, and I can make grooves in the handles to that they are easier to grip. I can then cover the weapon with a thin layer of flammable material, and then cover it with an even thinner layer of fire resistant material. This’ll make the weapon burn longer. And finally I can make the weapon’s base black, so that it’ll burn hotter when set on fire.”
As she spoke, she sketched the plans on the paper. And Roxas watched as the weapon transformed before his eyes.

Wow. He thought. She really knows her stuff! Xemnas was so wrong to have doubted her.

“Morning lovebirds!” Axel called as he walked down the stairs into the kitchen. Xed and Roxas instantly moved away from where they were sitting, creating some distance between them.
“We’re not lovebirds, Axel.” Roxas said, slightly annoyed, and blushing. He looked over at Xed. Her face was just as red as his was. Axel rolled his eyes.
“Sure.” He said. He then sat down at the table. “So Roxas, you ready for our fight today?” Xed looked up.
“You two are fighting today?” she asked. Roxas nodded.
“Yeah, and I’m gonna take him down!” he said, laughing. Xed smiled. Axel smiled too.
“As if!” he said.
“Hey, that’s my line!” Xigbar said, walking into the kitchen. The three of them looked up at him. Roxas stood up.
“Xed, this is Xigbar. Xigbar, this is Xed.” He said. Xed stood up and smiled.
“Nice to meet you.” She said. Xigbar smiled, and then nudged Roxas in his arm.
“She’s a keeper.” He whispered, loud enough for them all to hear. Roxas blushed, along with Xed. Axel and Xigbar chuckled.
“So…umm…you want to come watch the fight?” Roxas asked, hoping to change the subject. Xed nodded quickly, wanting to change the subject too.
“Sure!” She said. Roxas, Axel, Xed, and Xigbar all walked outside to prepare themselves for the fight…

Hmm....not quite sure. I'll just keep making them until i'm done :)

Oh, you'll hear more about him....*evil smile*

Thank you! :D
