OOC: LMAO xDD. I'm laughing too much. Really? That was weird, it's been awhile since Axel called her Spitfire. Tifa had suceeded in blocking what she had brought, only letting one slide, but it was one of the less harder ones. In a breath, she responded, "It is a compliment considering how much he sucked." After that, she made a move, coming from the side, as she landed a roundhouse kick to her back, though making sure it didn't do any fatal damage, and took off on another as she punched her stomach in flashes, one by one, by one, and ended it ducking down, hitting her knees with her leg, making her lose balance, only for Tifa do deliver a blow in her kidney as she was about to fall, sending her flying. It was hard trying not give so much force, but Tifa didn't let herself down so far. The hits were soft, just like she gave them to Cloud.
OOC: OMG. I just saw that video xDDD. The repeats got a bit old fast, except for the Roxas on where he was grooooowling, and the part of Xemnas and Saïx killed me. Lol. "Xemnas?" "Yes" "Is Kingdom Hearts ready?" Yes" *laughs*. I see everywhere that people keep giving Axel Is Gay jokes and Roxas hates him xDDDD. Awww, poor thing. His death scene, even when butchered, makes me sniff. But tears are stopped cause he looked sexy when dying too. Oh well xP. I like his voice a lot, though. Oh, I don't know how Larpex looks like ^.^;. And even though she's water, nobody ever said that Axel depended on his fire. I wonder if Reixa knows Axel and Larxene are truly a couple though. Axel just raised a eyebrow at the girl who seemed to have caught him examining her, and he gave her a sly and cocky smirk. Well, since he wasn't doing anything, he might take his chance with this one, and help Larxene on her suppose mission. They both got what Reixa had so far shown, and now it was his turn to get some action. He was tired of watching all the time. Leaving "Xinaram", as he didn't want to think over anything else that he had heard in this castle, like Max's little remark, he went to the healer, taking each step in stride. She wasn't far, and Axel approached her quickly, eyeing her sharply. He chuckled as he looked her over. "Well, Mademoiselle, what would your name be?"
OOC: I know, right? xD Who knows, they might actually get to talk one day without biting each others head off. "Just leave some for me, I still owe her," Tifa smirked, before she went off in a run to head straight for Reixa. Since this wasn't exactly serious, she didn't try much, just went straight to land a punch, another kick, and she managed to get her with a "harsh" one on the side of her stomach, throwing her off unto the side. Tifa grinned in satisfaction. "I can tell you're better than Cloud already." For her, this was just a test run.
Axel gave a tense nod to "Xinaram", as she didn't give him her name, and he wasn't about to unscramble it and figure it out for entertainment either. Not that he was doing much anyway, Larxene was taking up all the fun with Reixa, and now this new girl had appeared, who had headed straight for the raven-haired girl. Axel had noticed the way this unfamiliar face hid Reixa from everyone's view, but it didn't take a genius to know what she had done, more so as Reixa was now able to stand more comfortably and was ready to attack again. So this particular one heals Axel mentally noted, not sure if Larxene caught it as well. Oh well, here he went to the sidelines again. Maybe he could test the healer himself as Larxene took care of Reixa. After all, the mission was to find out their powers.
"Yep. Larxene," Tifa drawled out, her lips curling in a displeased manner, though amusement was in her eyes. "Even her name sounds biting, cutting, and b*tchy." She giggled to herself at the thought, before looking up determined at Rei, gripping her knuckles dangerously. "I so wanted to kick her butt that day, but Axel interrupted. Arrgh. It will be funny though, if you two fight it out one day, you both seem to be snarky. Snarky for you, in a good way, for her, nah. I heard she's a amazing fighter from eavesdropping though. So, who's to strike first?" OOC: For some reason, is funny when I'm making fun of my own fave Org. member xD.
"No weapons. I don't have one, unfortunately. I fight physically," Tifa responde tersely, cracking her fingers as she prepared herself once again. But what Rei said surprised her. Of course, now she was sure there was something going on between that Prep and him. She didn't know what, but Tifa had a feeling that the blonde was the reason for Axel's moody demeanor. "Girl with antennae? Why is Axel bothering with that Prep so much? Ever since Larxene gave him that slap in the school yard, blaming him for something he didn't do and attacking him, he practically shouted for all the world to hear he didn't want anything to do with Preps anymore. You heard about that, right? I remember you're the girl that was shouting at him." Tifa laughed at this, remembering Axel's face, and she herself thought Rei was rude. "I admit, you kind of made a bad impression on me. Usually, he would have yelled back at you more, but he was pissy that day, though as you can see, Larxene isn't exactly...friendly. She was a b*tch to me when I met her." It was then she dusted off her clothes a bit from Cloud's doing, and took a stance, fists ready once more.
Tifa shrugged nonchalantly, a small smile on her face. "Why not? Hopefully, you'll last longer than Cloud." She gave the said blond a coy expression, to which he scowled at, but otherwise stood there waiting for his opponent, who had yet to appear. Axel...she knew the red-head well enough that something was holding him back. It wasn't just simply that he needed a few minutes off, concerning a battle, Axel was never known to be so late. Tifa stared at Rei questionably, whispering, "Could you tell me what Axel is really doing? I'm wondering why he would hold this up...."
"Sephiroth...Sephiroth is different, Cloud," Tifa replied weakly, her face turning grim as she thought of the beautiful silver-haired man. Yet deadly. It was then she heard a voice, and glanced at the newcoming Rei, who had shouted out that Axel will be here in a few minutes. Tifa, friendly waved at the girl, motioning her to come over. She had heard Axel call her "Rei", so Tifa guess that's what her name was. Besides, she seemed cool and she wanted to get to know her.
OOC: *gasp* Chula-claire! Yay! =3
"You should let me warn you," Tifa sighed, standing casually as a light cool breeze graced her face and hair, and she breathed in delight. She then gazed at Cloud, almost seriously. "One thing on Axel. I've fought with him before. He uses the same style of martial arts, but also uses alot of speed, he's very quick on his feet, and his weapons can do long-range as well as short-range. Let's not forget his element either. So it's kind of like a great package." Tifa then smirked. "You'll have fun, trust me on that." But for now, where was Axel?
OOC: Uh...I meant that you were going to leave me brain dead with the whole thing *_*. Guess I wrote it wrong *goes edit*.
OOC: Wow, Deathsight, I think you're going to lead me brain dead xD. But now that that's over with, do we scrap what Nomura explained or no? "Well, that shadow can either be your Heartless, or something else entirely. But...there has only been two people to ever accomplish not losing their sense of self when being a Heartless..." Axel muttered quietly, speaking his thought outloud, but also talking with Xinaram's Somebody. This was very interesting, more interesting than what has happened so far. After all, everyone knows the story behind Xemnas and Roxas...Roxas. He doesn't know anything, and his best friend is keeping things from him... Axel sighed, shaking his head. "Are you sure you can trust that shadow?"
"You need to relax, this is a friendly fight " Tifa commented as she widened her eyes at his snappish response. She rolled her eyes. Just like a guy to get all serious. "You know how humongous that thing is? But, alright then." She went to attack again, using more of her speed this time, and in a slide, she skidded in the ground, hitting from the bottom in his chest, twirling her body by using her arms to give kick after kick, and with her last one, she gave it a little more hard enough to simply push him back. Tifa was holding, and so was he.
OOC: Xemnas is basically Xehanort's Nobody, the apprentice of Ansem The Wise. Xehanort took Ansem's name for himself (that's why his Heartless used it as well), and utilized it for his findings on the heart and darkness (Ansem Reports), hence why Xemnas is called...Xemnas. But yes, it will just be Xehanort in the end. But hey, this is good. Xehanort Heartless Boss killed in KH1 + Xemnas Nobody Boss killed in KH2 after = Return to original self/Xehanort. You know what that can mean right? We haven't seen the last of Xehanort in KH, I'd think :D. Then again, he is the main villain in the series.
Tifa pulled back a bit, giving Cloud a scowl, onyl to turn into a glare as she noticed he took out his buster sword. "I said no sword! Play by the rules, why don't you? Or am I too tough for you when you don't have your little weapon with you?"
OOC: Is simple, really xD. I was confused a bit too. Basically, your Heartless is destroyed, the heart goes free and stays in a state of suspension. If your Nobody is killed after, then you can return to your original form easily. Which is, I guess, what happened to Axel. However, if your Nobody is killed first, and the heart is still stuck on the Heartless, the body will be swallowed by the darkness. In that case, if your heart is free after that happens, is harder, cause now it depends on a maybe that you can return or not.
OOC: Axel did, actually, return to his original self as mentioned by Naminé in the KH2 Novel (Novel, not manga -_-),. Nomura never mentioned anything about their memories though, and I don't know about Naminé being a example or Roxas since they were special Nobodies in the first place. So I think you can work with that, Deathsight44.
OOC: I'm guessing we're not following Nomura's canon explanation of how a Nobody can return to their original form? VIII. "When the heartless are defeated, what becomes of the stolen hearts? Also, when members of Organization XIII and other Nobodies are defeated, do they return to their original form? When heartless are defeated, essentially the owner's hearts are rejoined with their once extenguished body, whichever world it may be on. As for the whereabouts of hearts in KHII that turn up, this time they remarkably went to the Organization (there is a foot note here that says "In Kingdom Hearts II after heartless were defeated, the many hearts were absorbed by the Kingdom Hearts of "people's hearts"). However, in the rare case that the body changed into a Nobody and when there is no container for the heart, it resorts to a state of suspension. In the case of a Nobody being defeated, it's a little more complicated. If the above mentioned hearts are liberated, they return to their original form. However, if the heart is still stolen by the heartless, the Nobody's body is swallowed by darkness. If somewhere in the world their hearts are taken back, perhaps they might be able to return to their original human form" I don't want to say anything that might hinder your plots xD, that's why I'm asking if we're following anything canon on info.
Tifa landed gracefully on her feet as gravity pulled her down, glad that Cloud had halted himself from crushing into the roof asphalt, but he did look pretty battered, or winded. Crossing her arms, she walked over to him, staring at his state concerned. "If you want we can stop for awhile, I don't want to get you tired before Axel gets here, which is realy the real spar."
"Cloud, I've been punched so much harder than that, don't worry, " Tifa snided, before grabbing his fist with her hand quickly, and from there delivered mutltiple kicks to his stomach and abdomen, before she let go and ducked, hitting him with a upwards kick with hard force to send him flying up. From there Tifa jumped, delivering more punches to his face, though like him, not roughly, and with another roundhouse kick into his back as she propelled up by usg him as support, she sent him tumbling back down to the roof surface, hoping that he stops himself from slamming into cement.
