Wing stepped foot out into the main hull of the ship. Xardius had heard the whole thing and was planning to leave...Wing knew it. "You know old friend, where you go...I go. I promised you many times that we'd end this once and for all. We keep getting more and more chances...Lets finally put a stop to it. Don't forget everything we've worked for...what we've been through, and besides, you've got a fiance i have yet to meet." he smiled his famous smile as tears clouded his eyes. Xardius hadn't heard anything he'd said, but it didn't matter now. Wing knew the man well enough to know that when Xardius decided to leave, he meant it. Even Crissilia had vanished after their talk, leaving a note saying she was sorry and wished them luck. "This is the beginning of the end..." He said punching the metal hull.
Wing looked out the window of the ship. Xane had fallen asleep, Xardius was piloting with Crissilia and Nulix had disappeared into the back of the ship. Bella was sleeping in her room and Darxess, Geyrl, Xegreny, Oxyrt and Vexneah were still no where to be found. An emptiness began to plague his stomach. So many friends had left without a trace, and he wasn't sure who was next...but he was certain that their enemies would keep growing in number...but they wouldn't. Wing could feel the end of the UO was drawing nearer, unless they found a way to somehow defeat the brotherhood quickly and easily...and neither option seemed to be very possible. Crissilia took the opportunity to walk back to him and smiled. "Come on, we gotta talk." Wing nodded and the two headed back to a room. Crissila hugged him tighty and pressed him against the far wall, kissing him on the neck. Wing blushed and pushed her off. "What are you doing?" She gave him a seductive smile. "Congratulating you on passing my trials. I knew I picked right when you were born. Truth be told, I've had my eyes on you since the first time you came into existence as Falcus. You lead great armies against an organization not unlike the brotherhood in the Realms. That was the first time you came into contact with Xardius's soul. He had been an existence for nearly two hundred years, and picked to fight on your side, even though the battle you fought was suicide. Your next life was not very important, you became a peace keeper in a universe without the prototype brotherhood." She sighed "So you see, ever sense you came to be, you've been destined to fight the brotherhood. Just like Xardius. Of course both of you have had roles on the flipside as well...being members of those organizations you fought against in the life before...but this time I was able to interfere with you. You came to my world, Prism. I was able to bless you for the first time, and grant you the power you've needed all along. THen you became a Nobody, but Coa learned twilight even while separate from you. Your existence was split in half, yet you still managed to survive and gain my second power, wind." Wing nodded and sat down on the bed. "So your telling me that Xardius and I are destined to fight Darkness forever?" She looked off to the side. "No...not you at least. You see, there is a god that reigns over all the universes, and he created us lesser gods for every world. He told me he would be creating two existences that would fall to the powers of Wind and Flame. and he would show me the one destined for wind but I would have to watch and wait for the time to come before I was able to grant him the power of wind. Well he showed me you. You've always been able to use magic, but never god worthy magic like you do now. I was always able to watch as you comanded wind magic granted by another god, but it wasn't the same level of power as you command today." "So you're the god over all the god's of wind then?" She smiled. "You were always sharp. But you see I wasn't ever allowed to grant you my power until you stepped foot into my world. I watched the brotherhood you know today rise up in power, and took the opportunity to get you to Prism. I told Xadrk, a prince form Prism, who became a Nobody with Org XIV to find you in the Realms. He did and then gave you over to Tera Roth, the current Guardian. He agreed and then I was able to give you twilight magic but not wind...the Universal God told me it wasn't time...but then you became a Nobody and created a loop hole..." Wing shook his head, to clear his mind, or to get rid of the sudden chill that traveled down his spine, he'd never know. "Why wouldn't the God let you grant me power over wind?" Tears formed in Crissilia's eyes as she crossed her arms over her chest. "The day he is granted power over Wind will mark the last time he will be born. It will also mark the time of the Brotherhood's end once and for all. Darkness shall cease to exist. The Flame shall carry on and become a beacon in the time of ever lasting light." Wing sighed. "So this is my last life? Game over after this one..." Crissila nodded. "I'm so sorry...I just couldn't watch darkness take innocent lives any longer...and I knew the universe was ready for light...please forgive me." Wing stood up and gave her a tight hug before leaving her in the room alone.
Wing panted as blood dripped from his lip to the cement roof top he stood upon. Liam and his battle had spanned six different rooftops, Novice and Enigma still stood on the top of their original spot. Wing had caught a glimpse of Vecked as he jumped down to the current building he was standing on. Liam stood among Novice and Enigma three stories higher. Vecked had seen wing as well and when their eyes met the two just nodded their heads, a greeting that told Wing Vecked had meant what he had said all those months ago. "You're not my Enemy..." Vecked watched him now as he gripped his keyblade tighter and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Come now Wing, is that all you have? I expected more. I mean after all, the last time we fought, you kicked my ass in a matter of seconds...now It's you who is losing to me. Isn't it funny that I've only been a Guardian for a short time compared to you?" Liam chuckled as he watched Wing's face tighten in anger. Twilight encircled his hands and added a light glow the the featherdancer. He looked up at Vecked who nodded and turned to speak with someone standing behind him. Wing didn't know what he could be planning, but that didn't matter at the moment. Before Vecked walked away from the window however, Wing noticed him mouth something. "Get him. Will do Vecked..." Wing then levitated off the roof and smirked. "Ah, so the Master of Gales is still in this?" Liam asked with a sideways smile. "I'm not out until your lying face down in a pool of your own blood." Liam smirked. "Now you're speaking my language." He jumped off the rooftop, head first towards Wing, their blades crossed and Wing usef his wind magic to hold Liam in the air, the two flew at one another over and over, trading hits, both gritting their teeth and bearing it. Wing's magic began to heal him, but it wouldn't last long, he was cut a second later anyways. "You're a very interesting existence, I'll give you that. Tell me the source of your power!" Wing smirked as he landed a clear shot to Liam's unprotected gut with the blunt end of his key. "Never." He opened a portal and kicked Liam's doubled over form into the chaos. "Very clever Wing...you've even blocked my pathways to that world." He chuckled. "And i'm the guardian of this universe. I guess thats just the power of the Keyblade...and the first I've ever seen him use that feature..." He opened a Darkness portal and stepped out on the Brotherhood's world. "I'll find you wing...run through as many words as you like, I'll never stop hunting you." He sat down at a computed monitor. Wing was right where they had started, with Enigma and Novice. "I'm always watching." He began to laugh as the computed reflected in a pair of glasses laying on the desk.
Liam's hand was encased with Darkness, and from it a sword grew. "You know Wing, we met a long time ago. Can you think of when?" Wing's brow narrowed as he studied Liam's face. "I've never met you in my life." Liam chuckled and reached his hand into a small cubby hole of darkness and pulled out a black helmet. he put it on and shrugged. Wing's eyes grew. "Back in the Realms... you were one of Sigma's lackies!" Liam threw the helmet off. "Yes I wasa Defender of Darkness, but now..." Darkness consumed his body. "I am the Guardian of this wonderful power!" wing gripped his keyblades tighter, he was in for a tough fight, but it was time to prove Twilight's superiority "I'm not going to let Darkness reign any longer. Its time that the light was brought back to these worlds. And if that means me losing my life to see it happen...well, so be it!" Liam smirked. "How nice of you, granting me the luxury of taking your life. I shall enjoy this!" Liam rushed Wing, pulling another sword out of Darkness. Wing caught the attack and oushed Liam backwards, cauing him to stumble. "Walk much?" Wing asked with a smirk as he rasied the featherdancer and launched a wind spell at Liam. Liam crossed his arms and stood his ground, using a pool of darkness to hold himself up. "seems you've grown in power. Much more then I had anticipated. But no matter, it only means I can use my power to its fullest extent."
Wing felt his restraints fall off, and played dumb. He would wait for the right chance to strike. "Come now Enigma, no need for such harsh words. You and I both Know that I'm much more quailified to be Brotherhood then you yourself, or this worthless excuse for a man over here." He gestured to Novice. Liam knew he was treading in deep water, but he wasn't phased at all. It was simple...he had nothing to lose any longer...and a man with nothing lose is the worst person to get into a fight with, he was sure that both Enigma and Novice knew that much. "you're a coward." Wing said looking around at the group. He was confused as to the sides being drawn, but it didn't matter at the moment. "Maybe i am young Guardian. Maybe I'm so scared of losing everything I don't have to the Brotherhood. Come on we all know it, with the Brotherhood you either go along, or you die...like you all will very shortly." Wing stood up, and Liam chuckled. "I'm not afraid of you Wing. I'm not afraid of any of you three." He walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down below. Cars zoomed past and people went about their everyday lives. "It's them that should be afraid. I'm only here to see Wind and Flame react. You know that he feels your presence just as you feel his right boy?" Wing looked down, he hadn't thought of Vecked's ability to sense him as well. "So in other words your a has been puppet master that lost it all, and is trying to regain your life by giving your all to an Organization that's only using you in the end?" Liam's face cringed and an expression of Rage attached itself to his face. "I should have let you die when I had the chance. I should have killed you when you were at your weakest. You're whole existence is meaningless you know that?" Wing smirked. And let his keyblades appear around him. The wind picked up and his shirts hood covered his head. "Wrong move." Liam said taking a battle stance.
Liam chuckled again. "I'm sorry, what was your reason for joining again? it's rude to ask one's intentions without first explaining your own."
Liam looked around while he waited for Enigma's answer. he looked to the corner and saw Novice standing there. "Ah Novice I see the rumors are true then. You and Enigma are UO sympathizers. I'll make you the same deal as Enigma. You're record is cleaned and we all get what we want in the end." He smiled. He didn't know much about Novice, but he did remember seeing Wing free the misguided fool in the attack for the Virus. "I'm betting you remember your savior's face." He gestured to Wing. Wing just looked away. He was pretty much powerless to fight back, and was sure that Novice and Enigma would rather help Liam to save their skins then to help him out.
Liam Chuckled, "And why do you feel that way Enigma?" He placed a hand to his chin as if he was in thought. The grunt that held on to Wing had let him go, but not before binding his hands and feet. "We have the ultimate playing chip right here, we can make our move and both look good in Scourage's eyes. What do you say? scratch my back and i'll scratch yours?"
Wing had decided to walk around town. He could just go afer the biker gang himself tonight..but he hadn't really measured them up yet. He took a turn down a dark ally and meet with the fist of a rather large man. "The boss needs you know little wind boy." Wing was then blindfolded and gagged. Only one name popped into his mind, Liam. __________________________________ Liam stepped out of a Dark portal right behind Enigma. "Ah Enigma, I knew that if I followed you, I'd find the Prince and his friends. Now tell me what your up to? I'm beginning to think you aren't on our side any longer." He folded his arms and stared Enigma down...a few seconds past before another portal opened. Liam's eyes grew wide with happiness. "So nice of you to join us Master of Gales." Wing's blindfold was removed and he gave Liam a dirty look. "Ah, don't be angry. In fact you should thank me. Below us right now is Vecked Flate, another brotherhood hopeful. I believe you know one another well. I'd like to see what your relationship is." Wing gritted his teeth, He could feel Vecked, there was no doubt that the two would meet again, for the first time in quite a while.
Wing walked upon the scene as the towns folk gathered around their elder's robes. He saw Xane and Nulix talking and headed over to them. Nulix had out UO: Underrated Organization and guess they were talking about it. "Any good?" He asked, knowing already they had a fight on their hands tomorrow. He looked back at the towns people, that were now staring at the trio. "You must win tomorrow...we cant afford to lose the city, or any more of our people..." An elderly woman said to them, other towns people nodded and said similar things. Wing's heart sank, he knew this world was in bad shape, and he would do what ever it took to fix it somehow.
Wing walked around the city while the others talked to the villagers. "Well this is a nice break from the norm" He thought looking back at a girl that had winked at him as he had past by.
"Why dont we educate them then Nulix?" wing asked launching a twilight right around the bandit headed for the sentry. in enclosed around him and bound im the the ground. "now that we have your attention, please allow Nulix or Xane here to tell you who we are ansd why you wont be bothering the villages any longer." He raised both his keyblades in a show of power, the third appearing out of thin air and took a spot floating behind him.
Wing quickly grabbed his key from the kids and ran outside to see the Bandits pull up. "Pheet woo..." He whistled. For bandits the drove a nice looking tank of a Jeep...granted it was made from stolen parts. "Well lets see how these knights compare to the ones I"m used to beating up..." He said taking a battle stance outside the gate
Wing sat down with the village people and drew his keyblade, he passed it around to the kids sitting near him, and made sure they didn't swing it and hurt one another. He declined the offer of food, letting the children divide it amongst each other. He knew he could get food whenever he wanted by opening a portal to another world and jumping though. "So what time do these bandits usually attack?"
"Yeah, you could call us that. And I'll be happy to help any way I can." He smiled, letting his key's disperse. "You guys up for it?" He said looking to Xane and Nulix
Wing tossed his head back, his three keyblades (one was broken in his trials) "Only those chosen by the blade can wield a true keyblade. These bandits use mass produced blades created by one that felt left out because his or her heart wasn't chosen to wield the real thing...so if your bandits want a keyblade fight, i'll give 'em a run for their money." OOC: Okay heed my warning, always do your hmwk in college. I've been in class for only a week and I'm already pulling an allnighter... lol
OOC: Sorry i didn't explain before, but the world we're on right now is the Dark world Version of Sleeping beauty's world.... BIC: Wing sighed. "Lead on. Oh and Nulix, if you pick up Lexx's book, may I read it after you?"
"Nope I'm just Wing." Wing said with his famous smile, as he listened to the Radio. "So Nulix...where's Vecked at these days?" he said looking up at the dull blue sky.
Wing closed his eyes. "No. Close, but I'll never match him. He has at least three hundred years on me, so the only way I'll ever surpass him is for his existence to be permanently erased...and that my friends is one of Scourage's plans.
Wing nodded. "That's Liam Lear. He's a brothethood hopeful...apparently his task is to bring the bodies of inverted Prism to Scourage. Only he's tweaked it to only bring my body to him instead. You see once Scourage learned that I was a member of Inverted Prism, the guardian's of laurenska and the UO, Liam was charged with getting me and me alone. He lured Shadow and Rain to the Dark worlds...which is why i had to leave for those few months...I had to find them." He looked over at Nulix's confused expression. "Yeah, Xardius and I have quite a bit more in Common then you may have realized. Scourage and I have fought on the Same side and Different sides. I can tell you right now that this isn't my first nor my last life. I'm not a Phoenix like Xardius, that's a flame trait. I'm what you would call a recurring existence....a Demi-god. So After Scourage learned I was around and with Xardius, he sent someone after me. Liam."
