The Ultimate Organization III+.5

OOC: Wow. That was excellent writing. Top tier. Beyond top tier.

BIC: It took Xardius nearly twenty minutes to find Vecked's remains. He was sure it was Vecked. There wasn't any doubt.

It took him thirty more minutes to dig a grave. Then he put Vecked's body inside, and buried it. A few more minutes of time and a gravestone was settled into the fresh earth.

Underneath the name and dates, Xardius put these words in: "In memory of a dream..."

Standing and brushing himself off, Xardius began running back to find Rune.

As he ran, Xardius remembered something he'd been taught a long, long time ago:

"Everyone dies. Whether they get sick, they get old, they are killed. They die. Everyday someone dies. Everyday there is more sadness. But remember this: Even if they hadn't died this day, they would have died another. Be sad only one day for a death. And when you look back, do not mourn. Do not cry. Simply smile. Smile and remember how they lived."

So as Xardius ran, he smiled. But it didn't stop the tears.

OOC: I have to go now, but I will work myself to the bone to end the Scourge plot! See you tomorrow, Nulix, and once again, excellent job.

 

Skinnar stood atop the cliffside camp overlooking the Skypit. The fires had been put out, and his agents were retreating, taking the Light Users with them. Not as prisoners, but as allies. It was his final order as Gran Hairis. Evacuate the Skypit and offer medical support and transportation for all injured soldiers on the opposing side. It was going to be his last order because once he returned to Sora System he would resign. Rentu Skinnar sighed, watching the peaceful red and black sky. It was almost beautiful without the explosions and terror on the battlefield below. Skinnar's communicator began to vibrate harshly. He picked it up and put it to his ear.

"We have seventeen working teleporters, all leading to Vevas, a small U.P.A. base along the coast of Destiny City. Soldiers are headed back to the base, while the injured are all headed to the City," A U.P.A. agent said into the microphone.

Skinnar nodded slowly. "I'll be at one shortly. I hope we can have everyone out by the half an hour."

OOC: See ya.

 

OOC: Well, I'm back. I have a question before I post my massive plot-end (which I haven't written yet, anyway). Should it end the season, or do you guys want to write responses to it, or what? Because Xardius is going to be gone afterwards. Do you want me to split it up into two, so you can post in the middle?

Give me your opinions and I'll write/revise to fit them.

 

OOC: I just have one post left, and it really is sort of a "They went here and did this and this" ending post, so sure. Go for it. As long as it doesn't kill off half of the cast it should be fine.

 

OOC: Well, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but it happened in an awesome way. Good goin', Nulix.

BIC: Xane sat down on the grassy fields and sighed, letting his hand run back through his hair. "Well, that's it."

"What?" Mellodia asked. "What's it?"


"That's it, we've won," Xane said. he asked, motioning for Mellodia to sit next to him. Venture smiled and took his cue to leave.

"Alright, cuz," Venture nodded to Xane. "I'll see if I can salvage any parts of my ship left. It's probably wrecked as hell now, but I can probably salvage it."

Xane gave a smile back and turned to Mellodia, smiling as well.


"And how do you know we've won?" she asked. "For all you know, the U.O could still be-"


"Not that," Xane said. "I could care less about the U.O and Ulfire now. Everyone's...sorta..done what we need to do."

Mellodia gave Xane a look.

"I mean..." Xane said. "Alright, how 'bout this. It's like we've finally ended the cycle. We've defeated most of U.P.A, U.O, whatever you call them. We took down the Brotherhood. And Vecked our enemy for years and years finally kicked the bucket and he took the Virus with him."

A slight change in Xane's tone could be noticed as he said that.


"What?" Mellodia asked, wrapping an arm around Xane.

"I dunno, "Xane shrugged, his tone sounding muddled. Almost...saddened. "I gotta respect Vecked somewhat. A psycho, but he was almost one of us weird. Just like part of the family."

"Am I a part of the family?" Mellodia asked, smirking mischievously.

"I, uh, I," Xane stuttered. "Yeah...Hey. Mellodia..."

"Mm-hmm?" Mellodia asked, wrapping another arm around Xane.


"I...lo-...v" Xane squeaked in a tone he hadn't used since he was ten. "Never mind."


"What?" Mellodia asked. "You're...weird sometimes. But, I think that's okay...Hey, Xane?"

"Yeah?"


"Sing me a song?" Mellodia asked.


"...What? Why?" Xane asked, frowning some. "I'm not singin' you a song.


"Nothing," Mellodia sighed, frowning as well, and taking her arms off of Xane.


Xane sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Looking around, he decided to give in. Frowning slightly, he started to whistle, "Hoo-hoo hee hoo! Hoo-hoo hee hoo! Hoo-hoo hee hoo! You know I can't smile without you. I can't smile you. I can't laugh and I can't sing, I'm findin' it hard to do anything. You see I feel sad when you're sad. I feel glad when you're glad. If you only knew what I'm goin' through. I just can't smile without you...."

Xane groaned at himself a bit, but continued anyway as Mellodia laughed,as she said, "Okay, I get it. Geez, you're...surprisingly not that bad at singing. But, don't ever do it again."

Xane laughed as well. "It's the only 'love' song I know, unfortunately." Xane hated mushy stuff, feeling sick as he spoke the setence. "But just because you said I shouldn't, I think I'll sing agai-mmmf!"

Possibly to stop Xane from singing doing so any further, Mellodia kissed him quickly. Xane reaction was exited. "Alright, do that again. But, make it last longer next time. And-"

Mellodia punched Xane on the shoulder, an eyebrow raised. "Calm down. I think we'd need to be someplace private instead of a warzone."

"Well ,I heard some stories about warzones," Xane smirked raising an eyebrow as well. He received another punch to the shoulder.

"Nice, "Venture commented, gathering spare parts from the wreckage.

"Shut up," Xane shouted. His annoyance at Venture was short lived as Mellodia had wrapped her arms around him once more. "So, Mellodia," Xane said. "Where do you want to go after this?"

"What, you mean where I want to live? Hmm. well I hear that the business districts in the Dark System have excellent communities and-"

Xane rested his hand on his chin. This...could go on for a while. He would have to put up with it, though. Smiling to himself, Xane felt more happy than he ever did in a long time. He felt like raising a fist to the air in victory.The Ultimate Organization was at it's highest point.

***

"Well, here's what I've got on all possible threats," Pharell Titan said, talking calmly on a cell phone on a recently commandeered U.O shuttle. He poured himself a small shot of whiskey before resuming. "The Brotherhood is for the most part eliminated. Many powerful members are dead. Zaxor, Trent, Kardas, Novice. Can't find a lock on Enigma or Raijin. Scourge is down for the count...to an extent." A slight mumble from the other line. "Yes, Scourge. U.O generals are dead too. The Virus has...dissipated with the man known as Vecked Princeton." More mumbles from the other line. "I would trace the,m ,if I could, but the Virus is as good as gone. The Ultimate Organization? They won't be bothering us for a long time....Yes, I have grown to admire them somewhat.When you take their story into account they're really something. Perhaps, a brief period of well deserved rest for them."

 

OOC: I love that post, Pirate. Its just such a cool little ending post. Speaking of which: ITS MAH FINAL POST~!!

BIC:

The Gran Aigo of the Sora System sat at his desk, on the other end was the Emperor of the Ulfire System. Both of them listening to Skinnar over the speaker phone.

"I'm sorry, my Gran Aigo. But this duty is not one I can hold any longer. I resign," Skinnar's voice said over the speaker. "And, as you know through the progress report, Sora Commander Cotaxus and Ulfarian Commander Crapo have both died in the firefight, along with the ultimate weapon, the Virus. Good night, gentlemen."

The phones went blank. The two leaders looked at each other and sighed. "Lets be real," The Aigo muttered. "The Alliance, the U.O... we both know it was only for the Virus."

The Emperor nodded slowly. "Yes... yes it was."

"And now its gone," The Aigo muttered. "So now what?"

"What else is there... peace?" The emperor said slowly.

The Aigo smiled. "Peace."

​

Alyt pushed the doors of the church open. It was nearly 2 A.M., she had gotten out of the hospital an hour ago. The U.P.A. had taken her to Sora, paid for a few stitches, a few needles, and then kicked her and the rest of the war survivors out.

Each one of the survivors went their own way. Alyt went to the South Side. She had made too many mistakes in her life. Maybe there was a force she wasn’t appealing too. Maybe there was a reason her life was so messed up right now.

And so Alyt pushed the church doors open, wondering if this was the answer. There was only one other person there. Standing in the front, a young man of average height with black hair. He held a pair of glasses in his left hand, in his right was a bottle of booze.

“Um, hello?” Alyt called to the man. “Do you work here, or, um. I don’t really know how these things work. Are you the preacher? Or a Church… monk or something?”

The man turned around and smiled, “Me? Nah… I just, uh, just got here actually. First time. I, uh, felt a made some mistakes and maybe this is the answer…”

Alyt smiled at the man, “I know how that feels… hey, you mind if I have a sip…”

“Oh!” The man said, tossing his bottle up, “Sure thing.”

Alyt caught the bottle and smiled, “Sorry, I don’t usually ask men for beer in strange places in the middle of the night. I’ve just had a tough day.”

“No need to explain,” The man smiled. Alyt finished the bottle and lay it down on one of the chairs. “So, uh…” Alyt muttered, approaching the front of the Church. “How to I get forgiven now? Do I wash my hands in the water or what?”

The man shrugged, “Hell if I know.”

Alyt smiled, “My my, looks like you do need to be forgiven. Saying hell in the Church?”

“That’s right,” The man chuckled, “Gettin’ all the sin out…”

“Hey,” Alyt said, “You wanna pray with me?”

The man paused, “Actually, I have a better idea. How bout’ we screw the forgiveness and hit the town?”

“What? Its 2 A.M…”

“Exactly!” The man smiled.

Alyt grinned, “Well… okay then. Hold up, actually, wait… I don’t even know your name. Um, lets do the proper introduction here, alright? I’m Alyt Jadar, I need a lifestyle change… and to do that I asked a random guy for beer in the church.”

The man chuckled, “Well, alright then, I’m Lexx Klüppel. I just got fired from my job, I’m basically screwed for life and now I’m asking some random women to waste the last of my money with me. What do you say?”

Alyt smiled, “I say we waste away, Lexx… until dawn… two days from now.”

The two left the church. Smiling and laughing. Two people from two horrible situations come together. And if Lexx had remembered the prison escape list he had looked over a few months back, or if Alyt had remembered one of the strategy meetings from the Six Sora System era, they might not of gone out of the church together, laughing. They might not of drank themselves well into the afternoon of the next day. And the following night Lexx and Alyt may not of kissed in the hot tropical rain.

And so Lexicon Klüppel, the sarcastic enthusiast secretary finally felt the harshness of the world and was slowly growing back into his old self, if not a bit wiser.

Alyt Jadar, the eager young Knight looking to regain one of her teammates became a woman with no more eagerness left in her. Or maybe there was, maybe she was on the road to finding it again.

Rentu Skinnar, the lovable mans man U.P.A. Captain looking to climb the latter became a man who had reached the top and was sick of it. Sick of all the people, all their problems. He was done. He just didn’t care anymore. The once young Captain’s famous ambition was gone.

Vecked Princeton, the boy obsessed with a world that may not even exist became Vecked Flate, the man who saved billions. The man whose life goals were finally accomplished.

Nulix Princeton, the boy who joined a pathetic excuse of an organization because he had nothing left in life became the man who was well on his way to ruling the stock market. The Ultimate Organization, in a way, saved Nulix. He had nothing when he became a member, and through the lifelong friends he made he became hopeful, ambitious. And now he was on his way. On his way to the future. For Lexx and Alyt, happily laying in the rain, or Rentu Skinnar, playing with his daughter, or Vecked Princeton, seeing the answers to the universe flash before his eyes, the future was bright. For Nulix Princeton, sleeping in his office when all others had left, the future was bright.

 

OOC: Nice post Pirate; really good stuff. I think we're pulling out all our best stuff here at the end, and it's really great. Really.

Anyway, yeah, the only two people who will really be involved are Rune and Darius (he's going to change his name back; it's going to be weird...).

So, I'll post it tomorrow, and we'll go from there! I'm pumped!

EDIT: Especially after reading Nulix's post... NICE stuff.

I can't wait for Wing's final post of the season...

 

OOC: Woo! I'm writing the credits down right now! Yes the credits. Music and everything. P.M me for info!

EDIT: As Xane would've said, "Alyt and Lexx, huh? Go figure."

 

OOC: They were two characters I really had nothing to do with.

 

OOC: And yet, it worked out pretty good. Credits are going well. Now, I have to make up important sounding positions for everyone...

 

OOC: Alright.

 

OOC: I need a list of everybody's characters too.

 

OOC: Every character ever?

 

OOC: Yes. Even the slightly less than minor ones.

 

OOC: Alright...

 

OOC:So far, all the posts are coming out epically. I hope my future post will come out to that of the same caliber...

However, I am certainly liking how it is turning out so far. Darxess is getting pumped for a final epic battle, and Orb is secretly downloading his will and backup memories elsewhere, almost sure of himself of joining the scrap heap. And, of course, when they get there the battle is all over. Expect typical Darxess/Orb arguments and humor as a result. Also, considering its nearly the end of a small era for us, and since Darxess is generally an old man (If half-crazy) there will be plenty of recollections of the past while Darxess recaps the major events of the story. Also, among his recollections will include futher info about why Darxess has never come across a lover for himself, the information about the love he once had. By association, we will finally hear more about the mysterious Organization XIV as well. I'll try to include as much as I can.

Just one tiny little problem. It may take me a loooong time to write. Even if there won't be much writing there, unless I'm properly inspired, progress will be slow. But I'll try and make it as quick as I can.

 

Rune couldn’t stop smiling. For the first time in so many years, he was himself again. All the pain, all the slow agonizing burn of guilt and hate and anger had faded away with Oblivion’s consciousness, leaving him glowing. He wanted to jump and dance, he wanted to sing! He contented himself with smiling, but at times, his hand would slide up to touch his face as if unsure what he was feeling was real.

Rune could have stood there all day, smiling in his newfound being, but there was work to be done. He had a world to save.

Rune’s portal opened up and he stepped forward into Kingdom Hearts itself, sadly shaking his head at the broken pieces of what was left of the worlds inside. Opening himself up to the power of Kingdom Hearts, Rune let it flood him for a moment, before cleansing it from his system. It felt too much like Oblivion.

Determination firmed his lips, and he brought forth the spell that would begin unraveling Kingdom Hearts. This was not going to be easy. More than likely, Kingdom Hearts would fight back and if he wasn’t careful, Rune would be destroyed before the giant program.

Rune almost wished he didn’t have to do this alone, but he knew that if Darius were here, he would insist on doing it himself. That’s why Rune hadn’t gone into detail; he hadn’t wanted Darius knowing of the consequences to the person who activated the uninstallation.

Shrugging ruefully as he activated his spell, and the walls of Kingdom Hearts began trembling, Rune wished that he’d had a bit more time to spend with Darius before this. It was really too bad that Rune was going to die so soon after regaining his freedom.

***

Xardius was bewildered. Rune was gone, through a portal that had been opened and shut too fast for Xardius to track. Worry, frustration, and sadness streaked through Xardius like a twister, but Xardius didn’t have time to deal with them. Too many people had died this day, and Xardius wasn’t about to let one of his oldest friends hit the bucket.

Pounding a fist into his hand, Xardius closed his eyes and concentrated…

***

Sweat poured down Rune’s face, dripping from his chin to mix with the blood already spilled on the ground. Again, he dodged, not quite fast enough as one of Kingdom Heart’s self defense spells tore the ground apart, and ripped a long gash in his arm. Rune winced, but didn’t cry out. He didn’t have time. His other hand was busy twisting and pivoting the spell, drawing power from every recess of his being and the Sea of Chaos back on Osidia.

Another spell, shaped and designed like an exploding arrow, flew at him, and Rune ducked, feeling it slice through his clothes like paper and leave a gash on his back. Gritting his teeth, Rune drew more power still, and drove the spell ever onward…

***

“Ugh, it’s not working!†Xardius yelled in frustration. “Why can’t I track him?â€

“Because he doesn’t want you to,†Enigma said in response, and Xardius twisted to find the Brotherhood member idly leaning against a nearby wall. “Because he’s going to die.â€

“What do you want?†Xardius growled, his hand resting on his sword handle.

“Please,†Enigma shook his head, looking bored. “Must you always think with your sword? And I don’t mean the one with the blade.â€

Xardius colored, his hand clenching hard on his sword hilt. “You have five seconds to explain yourself before I cut you apart.â€

Enigma sighed. “You won’t be able to save him, but he won’t be able to do it himself. I’ll take you to him.â€

“Why?†Xardius spat, his blade inching its way out of his sheath. “What’s in it for you?â€

Enigma smiled. “That’s my business. Are you game?â€

Xardius hesitated for one more moment, before nodding. “Do it.â€

Enigma stood up, brushing himself off and flicked his hand. A portal opened to the raging inferno that was Kingdom Hearts.

“After you,†Enigma said, his face unreadable.

Xardius didn’t hesitate as he slid through the portal, and Enigma took one last look at the skypit before smiling slightly and stepping after him.

***

“Rune!â€

Rune’s head turned, and he looked through his good eye, the one not blotted by blood, to find Darius running for him.

Rune didn’t have time to worry about that though. He flipped to the side, barely dodging another arrow from Kingdom Hearts. His body was covered in blood, but his hands still twisted the spell. It was getting close.

But Rune was running out of time, energy, and life. The Phoenix was useless here. Even the miniscule amount of power it took to regenerate was being used to control the spell. The Sea of Chaos was dry and Rune was out of tricks.

“Rune, you’d better…â€

Enigma’s voice made Rune turn again to see the man standing in a clear zone of arrows. It wasn’t that he was defending against them. They just weren’t firing at him.

Funny; worked with the man for nearly five years, but never really learned what he was, Rune thought to himself as he twisted around more arrows, the last one cutting so close he could feel the heat from the spell on his wounds.

“…let him help,†Enigma finished, catching an arrow as it streaked towards Rune. The arrow screamed or it seemed it did before crumbling away. Suddenly, Rune was standing in a clear zone as Enigma stepped next to him. Darius grabbed Rune as he swayed, steadying him with a firm arm.

“He can’t,†Rune grunted, eyeing Enigma with resignation. “The spell wasn’t designed for two. What did you do?â€

“A little trick,†Enigma answered, his eyes dark. “I meant draw his power.â€

“He won’t get it back,†Rune snarled, pushing away from Darius to latch onto Enigma with one arm, while twisting the spell again with his other. “What are you trying to do?â€

Enigma didn’t answer, but a small smile played onto his lips.

“It’s alright, Rune,†Darius said from behind him, and Rune turned, the anger fading from his face. Darius looked determined, his eyes hard. “I don’t want it back. Enigma’s right, I have plenty. Too much actually. It’s going wild on me.â€

Rune squinted at Darius through his watering eye. “You want to give up being a Phoenix?â€

Darius shrugged. “If that’s what it takes to obtain our dream, I’m willing to take that step.â€

Rune drew a ragged breath, disbelief written on his face. Slowly, it faded to leave, again, resignation. “Fine, give it to me.â€

Darius’ eyes flashed, and power slammed into Rune, so much, so fast. Rune could hardly control it, he was hanging on by his fingernails, yet Rune could feel Darius holding just as much again, ready to give it to Rune. It seemed like a millennia before Rune could put it into the spell, and as it touched, the spell mutated. It expanded.

From just one touch of Darius’ power, the spell went from Stage 3 to Stage 7. Rune couldn’t believe it.

“The clear zone will last for about 3 more minutes,†Enigma said, sitting down onto the floor. “Please be done by then, or we’ll all be bleeding on the floor.â€

Rune couldn’t answer. He didn’t really hear. He was floating in the nexus of power. He was power. He breathed, and power burned him. He moved, and power ignited him. He was just a lost sailor in the midst of a hurricane, but at the same time, he knew he controlled the storm. The spell was building faster and faster, and Kingdom Hearts was crumbling. Darius was asking him something, but Rune didn’t know what. The spell was his life. He aged thousands of years, he died over and over again, he was born anew from the ashes. He was the Phoenix, flame, smoke, blackness.

Kingdom Hearts was groaning. Crumbling. Its power was fading. Enigma looked stunned as all around them, cracks appeared, then spirals of chaos flipping through the walls to rip apart everything. Then it was gone, the room Rune had been in, the walls around them. All was black, but he was the center. He only had to complete one more step.

Rune thrust everything left in him, left in Darius perhaps, into the spell, feeling like he was being ripped in half as the Phoenix left him. His blood froze, his insides melted, his brain ripped itself apart in ecstasy, in pain. Rune could only feel darkness, then cold, then nothing at all as the spell finally ripped itself free from his consciousness and Kingdom Hearts…

***

It was like watching a planet get sucked into a black hole, or watching a rip in the fabric of time. Kingdom Hearts crumbled, the edges turning to white dust, the inside ripping apart. Blackness leaked from the fissures in Kingdom Heart’s surface, blackness that rippled into light even as it turned back to darkness. Then it vanished.

There was no explosion. No brilliant flash of light. Just an invisible wave of power that swept through all the worlds. Winds died. Volcanoes ceased erupting. Earthquakes settled. Birds stopped singing. Electricity stopped flowing. People stopped talking mid-sentence without knowing why. A giant hush fell over all the worlds for just the space of one heart-beat.

And then like a roar heard from just beyond the senses, everything changed. But yet it didn’t. People everywhere leaped and laughed for joy that they didn’t know the source of. Flowers sprouted in the middle of winter, grass grew where nothing had grown for years, treaties were demanded between countries that had warred for years. People looked out at the beautiful sunset of Twilight Town, and smiled, unknowing that their world and they themselves had been missing for nearly a year. Droughts ended. Famines were over. Nothing had changed, but yet it had.

Kingdom Hearts was gone. And in the space of existence where three men had stood inside the dying edifice, there was nothing but empty shadow.

But only for an instant.

***

The ship blasted out of warp with military precision, because that was what it was, though unlike any other military craft ever seen in these worlds. The ship was large, but quiet, ghostlike as it slipped into the space where Kingdom Hearts had once stood.

“Status report,†the Emperor of Kalva asked, his left hand idly rubbing the week’s growth of stubble on his chin. “What just happened?â€

“It seems that Oblivion’s creation, Kingdom Hearts, is gone, sir,†the technician said, flicking through status bars and charts on a transparent screen. “The block around the Empire is gone, and we were able to warp here without any resistance.â€

The technician studied a graph for a moment, then whistled. “The energy patterns here are off the charts. Someone was wielding more power than I’ve ever seen.â€

The Emperor sat forward. “Really? Are they still around?â€

“There’s a very weak life sign about hundred kilometers from where Kingdom Hearts used to sit,†the technician said, flicking into another screen. “But I can’t tell if it’s the guy. Seems to be protected in some sort of bubble, but it’s fading…fast.â€

“Pick it up,†the Emperor said, settling back. “I want to know why Kingdom Hearts has just suddenly disappeared.â€

As the ship moved towards the life sign, the technician started. “Whoa. Wasn’t expecting that. From the wave pattern given off by Kingdom Heart’s disappearance, sir, it seems it wasn’t destroyed. It was…uninstalled.â€

“So now the question is not how, but whom,†the Emperor said, stroking his stubble again. “Could it be the source of that power?â€

“There’s no other way,†the technician said, punching a few buttons. “Life sign picked up, sir. It’s in the bay.â€

The Emperor nodded and walked to the elevator. “Come with me.â€

The technician shrugged, and followed nonchalantly, nodding to another tech to take over.

A few minutes later, they were staring at what they had picked up.

“Isn’t he that one…?†the tech asked, whistling through his teeth. “Sabotaged Oblivion or what not?â€

The Emperor nodded. “Get him in sick bay. I want him recovered enough so he can tell me the entire story. And patch up the closest government. I want to install decent communications and trade by the end of the month.â€

“Yes, sir,†the tech sighed. “I suppose whatever they ask for is fine.â€

“For now,†the Emperor nodded, smiling. “I don’t want to frighten them.â€

The technician chuckled as the cart on which the man’s body lay moved behind them. Shallow breaths. Weak pulse. But alive.

***

“So what now?†Zaxor asked Enigma, as they stared out at the fading sunset of Twilight Town. “Did you find what you wanted?â€

Enigma slowly shook his head. “No. It will have to wait. Our next course of action will have to be decided by him.†Enigma nodded at the tall, muscular figure standing a ways below them on the street.

“Why him?†Zaxor growled, showing teeth. “He’s a Ultimate Organization member.â€

“Yes, but Darius Lionheart has his own issues to work out,†Enigma said without expression. “For now, he’s one of us.â€

Zaxor whistled softly. “I don’t like it, but I’ll go with it.â€

“I appreciate your cooperation,†Enigma said, a small smile flitting onto his face before disappearing. “Come. We should go back and join the others. Coming, Lionheart?†Enigma asked, raising his voice.

Darius slowrned to face Enigma. “I guess so.â€

Enigma smiled slightly again, then turned and began walking up the hill. Darius’ footsteps followed. After a few minutes, they reached the summit.

Darius stopped behind Enigma, staring. “Wait a second…â€

“Ah, yes,†Enigma said as the others turned. “I don’t think you’ve met the rest of the team. Allow me to introduce you to the new Brotherhood.†Enigma smiled, a wide smile that made his eyes glitter with intensity. “I believe you know some of them.â€

Darius could only throw back his head, and laugh as night fell on Twilight Town.

OOC: Here you are. Not as good as the last one, but I think it's OK. I kind of had writer's block, so forgive me. :\

 

OOC: I liked it up until the very end...Only because it's similar to an idea I had...

 

OOC: ...Did you just destroy Kingdom Hearts? As in the same Kingdom Hearts Vecked finally was able to resurrect before getting brutally killed? The one he's been trying to save for three seasons?

 

OOC: Not the world itself. Here, I'll explain some more...

BIC: "So, Enigma," Xardius asked later that night. "Do you know what happened to Kingdom Hearts?"

"...It's gone," Enigma said, frowning at Xardius. "You were there, remember?"

"No, the world inside," Xardius growled, giving Enigma a dirty look. "The world inside! There were people in there."

"Ah," Enigma said, standing and walking over to the window. "It's fine."

"Are you sure?" Xardius asked, scratching the back of his head. "What does fine mean?"

"The world inside Kingdom Hearts was really just a world that was sucked in at the time of Kingdom Hearts' creation," Enigma explained. "As the process was reversed, the world was returned to its rightful place in the worlds, which is close to the location Kingdom Hearts once resided."

"Um..." Xardius said, confused. "Right."

Enigma sighed. "Put in simpler terms, it was like having a coin inside an ice cube. When the ice cube melts, the coin is freed without damage. Understand?"

"Yes," Xardius nodded. "I get that."

"Fine," Enigma said, sighing again and staring out the window with a glum expression.
