The Ultimate Organization II

OOC: Man, just missed her!

BIC: Xardius was in a foul mood. He studied the object Sora had given him, then pocketed it, and stood up.

"I summon you, guardians of the underworld gates, Dueling Dragons!" he roared, holding out both hands. Power surged around his hands and coalesced into two medium length swords with thick blades and dragons emblazoned into the handles in gold.

Sword in each hand, Xardius stepped forward.

"These are the punks who tried to mess up your life, Xegreny? Then I'll unleash upon them holy hell!"

 

OOC: Eh? Why does these dueling dragon things interest me?

BIC: Without an idea of where Shadow was, Xane sighed, mounted his horse, and headed back th trail he'd wandered.

 

OOC: They're Darius' original swords...empowered with the strength of dragons. He took down a million Heartless in a single blow with these the last time he used them...that's why he sealed them away. Too powerful. But he's kind of on edge right now.

BIC: "Xane! Where the heck do you think you're going?" Xardius yelled. "We got a whole Heartless army to deal with! And these nose-pickers over here!"

 

"Shadows gone, so there's no point in me stayin' here. I've gotta find Vexneah and solve another problem," Xane sniffed. "But if ya really need help..." Xane turned his horse around

 

"Not really, but...whatever..." Xardius said, turning back to the Heartless now pouring towards him. "Eat power!"

Three strikes and the world imploded in light, and the Heartless were gone.

"Hmph," Xardius said, pointing a sword at the now frozen RMDA members. "You punks still want to play?"

The members gulped, turned and sprinted away. Darius sheathed his swords with an air of haughtiness.

"Now I'm ready to go with you," Xardius said. "I don't feel like asking the CG for help again, so let's do this ourselves."

Meanwhile, Sora's keyblade flashed out of existence as the last Heartless dissipated into darkness.

"That's the last of 'em," Sora said, grinning. "Good work Division 1."

The Division 1 Enigmatic Knights nodded and saluted.

Sora turned to Riku and Kairi. "Seems we've caught their attention..."

"One Heartless is nothing," Riku said. "We're going to have to better than that."

Sora grinned. "Hey, it's me!"

Riku sighed, and Kairi shook her head as Sora began punching the air, and whistling a victory tune.

 

"Right." Xane said. "I don't know how long it'll take us to locate Shadow and Vexneah, though," Xane said. "Not to mention Dragoon..." he added.

 

"Yeah, well, at least we know they're all...here...huh?" Xardius twisted to look behind him. "No way...It's already that time...?"

 

"Uhhh....What time?" Xane asked.

 

"We have to get to Disney Castle, NOW!" Xardius yelled, twisting back to Xane, his face contorted with anguish.

 

"For what, damnit!?" Xane cried out. He wasn't ready to leave the now wastelandish TWTNW. Not yet. But if there was trouble at the castle. "What's happened at Disney Castle?"

 

"N-no time," Xardius cried, pounding the ground with his fist. "We gotta get there! AAAAAAH!"

Suddenly fire jetted out of Xardius' back and he cried out in pain. The fire flashed into huge red wings, and Xardius gritted his teeth...and smiled, though his eyes told the true story of how painful this was.

"Come," Xardius growled, grabbed Xane, and stepped forward, his wings slamming downwards and the two, Xane still on his horse, ripping off into interstellar space...

 

"W-what're you-" Xane stammered before being pulled into the portal. His horse followed.

 

Disney Castle had definitely been scathed by the Tul Raijin take-over, but when Xardius arrived, things changed from bad to worse.

The inferno that erupted before Xardius ripped the castle to shreds, turning it into liquid metal and flashing into gas, solidifying and raining superheated metal blocks over the nearby town.

But that's not what Xardius cared about. Still dragging a protesting Xane, he stepped forward, and faced the massive portal that stood where a wall of the Hall of the Cornerstone had once been.

"The portal to...you," Xardius whispered, and leaped through...still taking Xane and his horse.

 

Xane sighed and scratched his chin. "Y'know, there's a high possibility that I'll cough up my lunch..." he said as he was dragged to who knows where through an interstellar space portal thing.

 

The trip was over as quickly as it started.

Booted feet hit desert sand, and Xardius stood peering over a wasteland as the portal closed behind them.

"I...made it..." Xardius whispered, and threw back his head and laughed, then fell to his knees and brought his hands up to his face as his laughter turned to sobbing.

 

"Can you kindly tell me where the hell we are? And why are you crying?" Xane demanded.

 

"The Chaotic Desert...a while ago..." Xardius said, wiping his eyes. "A long time ago...actually...nearly 100 years ago..."

Slowly, he stood up. "We're in a sectioned time loop that is cut off from the rest of the worlds. No one can interfere because it happened before...everything. Not even Kingdom Hearts would have the power to stop the gateway opening up."

He turned to Xane. "I've been using this portal for the last millennium or so...to travel back in time...For two reasons."

He sighed and closed his eyes. "Sorry I dragged you into this. But this is the beginning of the end. This is where Scourge was born. The Chaotic Worlds was broken and shattered by his power...and I've been trying to stop him."

He opened his fiery blue eyes. "I haven't been able to yet. And every time...she dies. My first reason."

"Teresa Williams."

 

OOC: Aren't we a little too early for the Brotherhood plot?


BIC: "Hmph." Xane mused. Xane was then remarkably silent for a minute. "I don't see why you need my help.....And I'm not sure if this is the most important thing on my mind, but I'll gladly help you fight Scourge."

 

"What? Xardius? Xane? Where the hell did you two go?!" Xegreny shouted enraged. While Xardius had gotten the RNDA off his back, he left him alone, with like, half a freaking army of Heartless left! While running for his life, he half bumped half crashed into Sora, Riku, Kairi, and the EK division. Twitching slightly at the sight of Knights, Xegreny muttered to himself, "I can NOT believe I'm about to ask this..". Scratching his head awkwardly, he asked "So uh.. could you Knights.. like.. give me a hand? And like.. promise not to try and kill me?"


OOC: These Knights still bad guys? >_>

 

OOC: Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with the Brotherhood. This is a "Xardius" side plot.

BIC: "As I said, I apologize...I wasn't...thinking clearly," Xardius said. "If I remember, we'll appear in Twilight Town between three weeks and three hours from now."

He sighed again. "I'm guessing it will be closer to a day or less, considering when we jumped into the portal...Come on, I'll take you to Arcadia."

***
Sora stared at Xegreny. "The Energetic Bolt is asking for help? What happened to your self-confidence?"

Kairi tut-tutted at him (lol, tut-tut, ahem, anyway), and Riku sighed, then spoke, "Take care of them yourself. Remember just how powerful you really are."

The captain of the knights nodded, then smiled. "But we'll cover you just in case."
