The Ultimate Organization III+.5

"That's more like it!" Xane said. "I guess..."

 

Xardius snorted. "You think any of my stories have real drama? You tell one."

 

"I don't have any good ones," Xane shrugs. "Well, I do...but Alyt tells 'em better."

 

Wing shook his head and laughed watching Xane and Xardius go back and forth.

"Well then lets hear Alyt tell some stories about you Xane."

 

Xardius stared at Xane for a moment, then closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and sighed.

"Fine, I got another one, alright?"

"So, this one's not about me, really...Well, whatever. So this one's about this guy who was born on some dingy world in the middle of nowhere. His parents were killed in an accident while he was in middle school, and he ended up living on the streets with his little sister. His little sister could use magic, the really strong kind that only shows up once in a millennium, and he wasn't too shabby either. Suddenly, out of the blue, his entire city was attacked by shadowy figures who killed the other orphans he'd been living with. They were only saved through the actions of one man, a man named Oblivion. Oblivion took them in after wiping the villains out, and began training the kid in how to use his power. His sister got training as well, and soon went on to an elite school where she became a really powerful sorceress. But this about the boy."

"The boy became so skilled that Oblivion asked him if he would help with an experiment. An experiment that would change his life. Since he owed Oblivion everything, the boy agreed."

"Oblivion gave him intense magical power, stronger than anyone ever before. The boy was able to use this to literally work miracles, to defeat any foe. Then he learned the truth: Oblivion had been the leader of those shadowy figures the night his world died. With a few new friends who had shared the same fate as he had, he attempted to stop Oblivion. He won the battle, but in the process, he lost his life. So ends the story of that little boy I used to know."

"Huh," Xardius finished. "That was a sad one..."

 

"Is that story true?" Xane asked, slightly interested this time. "Or did you just hear about it somewhere?"

 

"Interesting. What happened to the young girl?"

 

Vecked leaned forward, slightly interested by Xardius' story...

 

"No, it really happened," Xardius said, as though to himself. "I just remembered...hearing about it. I didn't know the kid personally. I knew his sister though. Good girl. She got married, had some kids, y'know...lived happily ever after. Or so it goes."

 

Wing felt like Xardius was hiding something from them.

"Where is she now? Do we know any of her kids?"

 

Xardius didn't say anything for a while. "She died a little while ago. One of her sons died..."

"Darryl von Karrte-Tera Roth," Enigma said, stepping from a portal. "Am I right?"

Xardius shot up. "It doesn't matter, does it?"

Enigma smiled slightly. "I thought so. So tell me, did that little boy really die?"

Xardius shrugged uncomfortably. "I said so, didn't I?"

"You said he sacrificed himself," Enigma pushed. "That's not the same. Is that boy dead or isn't he?"

Xardius squirmed. "...............No."

"Where is he?" Enigma said, his voice hard and his eyes piercing.

"I'm going to go kill him," Xardius growled, suddenly fierce. "It's Scourge, got it?"

 

OOC: *Facepalm*.

BIC: Alyt jumped up from her chair...

 

Wing felt his jaw drop slightly. He knew the Tera Roth that had trained him was a heartless, but he wouldn't have guessed that the real Tera Roth was Scourge. It all made sense though. The rivalry between Tera and Xardius, the distance that Tera Roth seemed to keep from Xardius.

"You mean the real Tera Roth is Scourge?"

He shook his head, there was no feelings for Scourge, only the Heartless Tera Roth. He hated Scourge, always had, always will


OOC: BRB

 

Vecked stood up, a smile on his face. "Well, this is an interesting turn of events, isn't it?"

 

OOC: You maybe saw it coming...

BIC: Enigma sat down in Vecked's chair. "Well, that concludes my research."

Xardius leaned back against the wall, fury on his face. "Research? It's none of your business."

Enigma shrugged. "I'm like that. You should tell them the whole story."

Xardius sighed. "Scourge was the brother of Tera Roth's mother, his uncle. They're not the same person. Tera Roth had a brother, but I never met him. Other than clearing that up, Wing, the rest of the story's true, except for me not knowing him very well."

"Rune and I were best friends," Xardius said. "We were both orphans, and saved by Oblivion. He used us as pet projects to create the ultimate fighting force. We both became Phoenicians through that. I don't know what went wrong, but I met Rune later, and he was calling himself Scourge."

"There's more," Enigma said. "Kingdom Hearts."

Xardius shook his head. "I'm not getting into it."

"Very well," Enigma said. "I'll tell them. Kingdom Hearts was a by product of Oblivion's experiment. It was all a project designed to kill the person Oblivion hated most. When Rune learned that he'd been used, he sabotaged the plan with Xardius's help. That's why the Heartless appeared, because Kingdom Hearts had a problem. Further, because Oblivion had to merge his power along with that of the other powerful magicians, his soul was torn from his body. Oblivion's soul became lodged within Rune, and Scourge was born. Rune is coherent at times. At other times, he's as mad as Oblivion was."

Xardius frowned. "I didn't know that..."

"It hardly matters," Enigma said. "Rune set this up so you would kill him. He can't hold on to sanity forever."

 

"The U.P.A. later found out about this Kingdom Hearts project, about these events, or at least some of them. They found out, somehow, someway," Vecked muttered. "And the U.P.A.'s file name for this was Daytona Twelve. And so my mystery has reached a conclusion..."

OOC: Just tying up some loose strings, Dk...

 

Wing sighed and rested his head in his hands.

"Well then, kill him we will." He looked in to Xardius eyes, so full of hatred and fury. He knew it wasnt all directed toward Scourge. His eyes fell on Enigma next. The cheating backstabbing brotherhood member whomade Wing believe he didn't know who's side he was on.

"Pathetic..." He muttered under his breath

 

"So, wait...The various wars, the Heartless invasion, and everything else disastrous that came from Kingdom Hearts is because of that Oblivion guy creating it?" Xane asked Xardius, before looking at Enigma. "And you're sayin' that 'cause of the fact that Oblivion needed to fuse with other magician guys to live, a part of him ended up in Xardius' old friend, Rune, causin' him to become Scourge."

 

OOC: Fine with me.

BIC: Enigma's head turned to stare at Wing and he smiled, a smile that chilled the air and never reached his eyes...

"That's it exactly, Xane," Enigma said, not taking his eyes off Wing.

Xardius closed his eyes. "I don't hate Rune, Wing." He opened his eyes, blazing with such fury. "I hate myself. I never was strong enough to help him. He took it all on himself. I wanted to help, but he thought that something might happen. He was right, and...I've never gotten to see the real him again. He's done terrible things, and it's all because I wasn't strong enough."

Xardius gritted his teeth. "So I'll end it. I'll end his pain, and my own with my own two hands!"

 

Vecked smiled, "And so we have a plan. We go to the Brotherhood's base, we take care of the other members. Us and our army, that is. Xardius here takes care of Scourge, then we head to the Skypit, destroy this thing, and la de da, were done. We win."
