Pride of the Organization

(OOC: I live guys. Been busy is all. ^_^ Welcome aboard nobodynerd100.)

Another person clad in black made the warrior shift his blue eyes towards her. Shaking his head at what the young man had asked, he remained silent for a moment wondering what the other member was going to say next. Cloud was one to keep his distance, being an aloof guy he had the right to be after everything he had been through in his past. Turning his attention back to the mullet haired friendly nobody he shook his head again. "No I haven't. I'm surprised you don't know where they are at. Can't you nobodies sense what is going on?"

Demyx's attention was brought to the other member who had exclaimed like finding a discovery. "Yep here I am," he smiled at her, his white teeth revealing there was more to him than met the eye. "I was told to find the others and so far I haven't had much luck. What brings you here?" His curiousity was getting the best of him. Not wanting to be rude to the other man he just met, he slapped his forehead gentely. "Oh my bad. I didn't answer ya? Yeah we can sense the others, but not all the time. It's complicated and well I'm kind of like the last member to know what happens in the organization," he sighed as if he was remembering how the other orignial members normally treated him.

 

Xelysha laughed as she casually walked over to the duo. "I got bored waiting, so I convinced Xemnas to let me find you and help out with the search." She eyed Cloud up and down as if suspecting something. "Plus there's kind of a small problem..." Being hesitant in trusting the stranger, she didn't continue to divulge what was the exact problem. Hiding her suspicions, she smiled a little at Cloud and noded in his direction. "Who's your friend?" She turned in Demyx's direction in expects of an answer. Unlike the Nocturne, Xelysha could care less about her manners.

 

Xemnas sat on his throne, elbow on the arm rest and his head propped up on his fist. "Stupid headache..." He groaned quietly. The headache was slowly getting worse... wonderful. Xemnas rolled his eyes at this thought. "Ugh... when do I ever get a break...?" He asked himself. He looked around noticing that everyone was gone. "I don't think I told them to go yet..." He snapped his fingers, calling them back. He tried to regain his stern and serious posture, hoping to lose his broken and defeated one as a result of the headache.

 

"Um well..." Demyx tapped his fingers both together thinking of what he was going to say. He was at a loss of words and didn't know how to respond especially after he had just met the man. "Um I just met him, but he seems cool and everything from what I can tell." He ignored the kind of warning she had said and thought that when they were alone he could ask her to clarify of what this small problem was. "So what is your name?" He asked the warrior who stood like he was a stone statue.

Cloud kept his focus and crossed both of his arms,as he found a comfortable spot to lean against the wall. "The name is Cloud Strife. I don't know if you heard about me or not, but I live in this world and do what I can to full fill what needs to be done." He didn't want to say anything more for it was tough to break through his tough wall that he placed on himself. Only those that got to know him knew who he really was.

Demyx placed a finger on his chin thinking if he heard that name of not. "Cloud? Cloud? No never heard of you, but I hope to see you around sometime. Just so you know I'm tend to hang out here, but not cause trouble or anything. I just do as I am told." He extended out his arm as if wanting to shake the man's hand, but suddendly his eyes widened and he cringed, his friendly demeanor changing one of doubt and sadness. Xemnas was summoning him and that normally wasn't a good thing. "Oh no what have I done this time?" He feared placing his right gloved hand over his mouth and nibbled on the tips of his fingers as if almost pulling off his glove with his teeth.

Cloud found this odd, but he didn't say anything except one quick question that was bringing out his curiousity. "Is there something wrong?" Noticing the mullet haired nobody bite his glove was indeed strange and made his raise his right eyebrow up. Who knew nobodies could sense fear?

Demyx slumped his shoulders in defeat and hung his head before he kicked a small stone out of his path. "I just have to leave is all and if I don't I'm good as dead. I wanted to talk some more, but the boss is persistent and deadly so I better get going before I end up on his black list," he made a portal appear for himself and waved sadly at Cloud. "I hope to see you around again." Before he walked in, he spoke with caution to Xelysha. "You better get back too for the boss is not just summoning me," he ventured through the black abyss and teleported back to his seat without saying a word to Xemnas until he got there. Once he was settled on his throne, he looked up, a scared expression on his face. "You summoned me boss?" his voice cracked a bit and he cleared his throat to speak up. "You summoned me boss?" He repeated, but this time firmly and seriously.

 

Xemnas glared at Demyx before his eyes softened and he grabbed his head after being hit my intense pain. It felt as though he was hit in the head with a shovel. He tried not to cry out in pain. He nearly failed, letting out an "Ah..." sound. He looked at Demyx, trying to hide the pain in his eyes. "Yes... I need everyone here so we can go to the Pride Lands together... we will not leave until every member is accounted for..." Xemnas was hit by more pain. "Ugh....."

 

Xelysha just smirked after Demyx disappeared." I was expecting that summon to happen." Quickly she made a portal for her own rather low-to-the-ground throne. Looking over her shoulder at Cloud, all she did was smirk as if to say "later", then she disappeared through her portal, making the portal disappear soon after wards.

Reappearing back on her chair in the circle, the one she shouldn't have left to begin with, she leaned back as if nothing was wrong and folded her arms. "Man, you're more impatient than a pirate digging up buried treasure... and that's saying something."

 

Xemnas sighed and leaned back in his seat, holding his head. What did I do to deserve this... Xemnas thought to himself as he let out another groan. He looked around with one eye. Two out of... fourteen? I think... can't believe I lost track of how many members I have... Xemnas sighed. "Ugh... would someone kill me now?" He whispered. He growled. Disgraceful! How could I, Xemnas, Superior of Organization XIII, King of The In-Between, and Lord of all Nobodies, be brought down by a little headache!? Disgracful! That's it, no more pain... Xemnas sat up straight and regained his cold, emotionless eyes and stern, strict posture. He was no longer going to be affected by this headache... He has felt worse pain after all...

 

With her shoulders resting on one arm of her throne, and her legs thrown over the other, Larxene released an impatient sigh. The azure pools inhabiting her eyes seemed frozen into a bored stare as she chewed on the tip of her right-hand glove.
On usual circumstances, she would be complaining and making her opinion on the matter of time-wasting quite clear, but it seemed that every second spent in this castle lately was wasted; no missions, no drama... nothing. Just boredom.
Once the Nymph focused – and cared – enough to listen to the voices that murmured amongst the circle of nobodies, what pricked the attention of the small blonde seemed to be the name of the world Xemnas mentioned.
The pridelands? What is this, a field trip or something? We aren’t children. This had better be good; I’m not spending a colossal amount of my time surrounded by idiots with half my IQ and without a grasp on the whole 'punctuality' concept.
Averting her attention to her superior, Larxene repositioned her body into an upright sitting position, crossing her arms across her torso.
“We’re going to the pridelands?” She questioned cynically, her voice turning firm. “Not what I would call a summer holiday.” With yet another sigh, she stretched her arms outwards, wiggling her fingers in mid-air. Small snaps of static radiated from her fingertips as she did so, sending little flashes through the sullen room.

 

The newest to the group laughed as if she had seen nothing more than a fireworks show. "I'm with Larxene on that one. I don't see any major reason that would call for all of us to go.... unless for some reason we're all inadequate to go on missions solo anymore." Her brown eyes looked way up at her Superiors, specifically Xemnas. "Unless there's something extremely special about the Pride Lands that would call every single one of us to go there in one big group. Is that it?"

 

OOC: heya guys im so sorry for not posting so may i please have an recap

 

(OOC: Okay, but be sure to edit your post about asking a recap. So you know Xemnas has summoned everyone to Where Nothing Gathers and so far only a few members have shown up. He wants them all to go to the Pridelands from some research that he did there acquiring that there was something particually special about this world about one step of coming closer to getting their hearts, but the organization does not know this is a trick conjured up by Malifiecent which turns them into lions and she is hoping that they will rip each other apart. She does not know then instead of that all of them will work together like one big pride and come closer to what they want.)

Cloud watched Demyx and the other nobody leave. He walked back to the town and went inside to get a glass of water. Thinking of who the other member was, he decided to look up the data base of the system and find out the member's information. Typing in Demyx's name, he read some info on him. "He doesn't seem to be a threat and looks to be one of the only ones who is more relaxed and carefree. He hates to fight, but will if he has to. Seems to me that he is forced to do things out of his own surival. I don't blame him there." Cloud continued to go down the profiles of all of the members reading them one by one.

Demyx shifted on his throne and slouched more nearly falling off for he was bored as hell. "Oh man how much longer until we head out?" He said to himself. The other members who were there looked bored as well and were wondering why they all had to venture out to the same world? Shrugging his shoulders and assuming the boss knew what he was doing, he tapped his fingers on the armrests and just hoped that the meeting would end, but in order for that to happen all the other members needed to show up. "Where is Axel and Roxas anyway?" He thought of the two and imagined that they were off at the clock tower eating icecream again. Gathering up the courage to speak to the Superior he saw that he had regained his postion of power once more. "Boss, um do you know exactly when we are heading out? And what happens if the other members don't show up?"

 

Xelysha spoke before Xemnas could have a chance. "Oh, we'll probably leave them behind to put the pieces together." She leaned back, resting her elbow on the armrest of her chair and rested her head on her hand. This situation made her a little off. Why the sudden change? Why suddenly decide to send everyone on a single recon mission? Something isn't right about this... but at the same time it seems right, like I shouldn't be doubting, and yet I am.... She sighed out quietly while boredly sitting there, not quite sure how long she could stay still. Xemnas, you're torturing me here.

 

"I'm not sure what it is about the Pride Lands... but it's special. I wouldn't be gathering everyone to go on a RECON mission if I knew what was so special about it. If I am correct, and there is something special about this world..." Xemnas chuckled. "Well, my friends, our goal may be close at hand." He crossed his arms and looked down at his members. "Or... I could be incorrect and we could have wasted money, resources, and time on checking this place out... hopefully it is not the latter... I estimate that there is about a 95% chance that this place has what we are looking for... 3% chance we find something just as useful... and a 2% chance we get squat. I'm not sure about the rest of you... but I like those odds... not exactly 100%... but i'll take what I can get." He then looked at Xelysha with an evil, cold, angry glare. "...And do NOT speak for me... I am Superior... not you... the answer that I was going to give is, if they don't show up in the next 5 minutes... I'm going to look for them myself... and I garrentee, when I find them, I will NOT be a happy camper... in fact, I just might make those two clean the bathrooms for a week..." Xemnas chuckled at the thought of Axel and Roxas cleaning the bathrooms. "Anyway, any objections? Questions? Concerns? No? Good... not that I would care anyway..." Xemnas laughed. He noticed that it was getting easier to ignore the pounding pain from the headache. He stared at his members once more, then spoke, "That's one minute..." Xemnas was now getting very impatient. He was getting angrier... as if he could even get angry... no heart... no anger... "Two minutes..." He stared at his watch. "Three minutes..." Xemnas sighed. "Four minutes..." He watched his watch as the last few seconds clicked by. "...Five minutes..." He vanished through a corridor of darkness to look for Axel and Roxas. He was first going to check Twilight Town.

 

Xelysha blinked while sitting there. "I thought he said ten minutes, not five." She sighed and relaxed on her throne, just tossing her scolding out the window. Quietly she slipped her hood on and smirked. "Well I say that was a very infromative meeting, now we know where we're going.... well, I'm gonna go and prepare." Her voice quieted down just slightly. "Not that anyone would care." With that she disappeared through her portal of darkness and reappeared in her room. Immediately falling face-first into her bed. "Now I have to decide what to bring for defense.... that's just great." She rolled over on her bed until she was facing the ceiling, causing her hood to fall back again. "Demyx is probably going to come in here to find out what's up." Sitting up, she looked into the mirror and laughed at the mess in front of her. "Man, my hair just won't stay calm." She picked up her light blue hairbrush and started a not-so-graceful-brushing-yank at a knot in her hair. After a while of doing this, she snarled under her breat. Man! Why does brushing have to be so painful?!"

 

Just as Xemnas was about to say five minutes, Vexen appered on his seat saying, "I was working in the lap. That is why I'm late." Vexen looked around and saw that members were missing and the superior was leaving. "What is the meaning of all this?" the sceintist asked.

 

Sinder, after a minute or two, went through a portal and appeared in front of Cloud. Her wings were hidden so she wouldn't startle the fellow in front of her. "Hello there," she said with a sort of smirk, trying to be nice. "What you got there?" she noted, noticing the list he had in his hands.

 

Riku swung aimlessly at the oceanic air. It seemed that was all he ever did.
A sigh escaped him as he, free of enthusiasm, let the sword fall into the sand at his side.

Dull island...

After a venturous journey... After you had been what he had been through...
After you've experienced every corner of every world, in multiple perspectives...
Island life might seem... Lame.

A smile graced his face as the wind brought sounds of playful banter to his ears.
He took in the salty breeze, and then let it escape him again.

There was nowhere else he'd rather be.

 

Luxord appeard at his seat he been busy resently so he missed an great deal of events. Looking around he figured he missed the meeting that was an first in a way his pride was hurt. "ah thou adept pounderer is amoung us so can you inform me of what happend cause unfortionatly im lost" the Gambler of Fate said to the Chilly Academic.

 

Demyx gentely slapped his forehead when the other members arrived and some others had left. Should he explain what Xemnas wanted them for or let Vexen? Getting tired, he warped away to his room to check on his pet, Angel. Appearing in his room, he looked under his bed and scooped the flame point siamese into his arms. "It's all right Angel." He stroked the white fur and rubbed him behind his ears. "Angel I'm going to see what the others are up to?" He placed him on his pillow and warped out of the room. Walking down the hallway, he searched the other rooms for anyone else. "Geez this place is empty and I don't know where the others have gone off to again. Boss is gone looking for Roxas and Axel, Xelysha went somewhere else and some of the others are back Where Nothing Gathers. Wait a sec? Did I hear my name get called?" Demyx followed any noices he heard that were coming from another room.

 

Roxas sighed out quietly, trying to follow Axel everywhere he went. As Roxas watched him, he noticed that Axel was a little out of it more than usual. 'Maybe it was because of the fight,' he thought in his mind. 'There were a lot of heartless...' He jogged a little to keep up with his red headed friend and followed behind him through the portal. Roxas did the honors and closed it behind him. He looked around the lobby to see if he recognized anybody there. When he didn't see anybody else, he turned his attention on Axel. "Are you okay Axel? You seem a little out of it..."
