[6/1/2012 9:53:50 PM] Quil: Xemnas: *takes the picture, eyes it carefully, pausing for a moment. The image seems to bring some lighter 'feeling' to mind, but his face shows no change of emotions. His eyes grimmace slightly, before he frowns, disliking the fact that he still cannot recall his past* yes.. that was the name i abbandoned years ago.
*passive shrg* and I shall admit... The boy in question looks like me... but unfortunately I can not recall anything of my fomer life before that of Radiant Gardens. Who are the other two?
[6/1/2012 10:00:20 PM] {Kitzu}: roux: hmmmm. [ pockets the picture and examines xem, eyeing him as if he was reading the other's soul. ] interesting.
[ moment passes and he grins silly again. ] Yensid and Eraqus. Yensid went on to become an amazing magician he eventually gave his keyblade to a little mouseking seeking help. Eraqus took over the Land of Departure for Kazzy and I and trained the next batch of keybearers. lets see, they were. . . .
[rummages in pocket an pulls out another pic. this on has eraqus in the back smiling like a proud father. his hands are on terra and aqua's outter shoulders w/ ven between them. they all look thrilled and happy. ] these three. Terra Ventus and Aqua. I think Aqua was the only one to become Master. Era's letter stopped coming and then i got a message from Yenny saying Era's star had been extinguished. meaning he was killed.
Xemnas: ... Eraqus.. *a small smirk appears on his face as his orange eyes glaze over slightly. he chuckles lightly* that sly fox...
*sharply blinking as if he's caught off guard by the words, he shakes his head lifting two fingers to his temple as he starts to feel an oncoming headache. those names seem to stick very clearly in his mind, as if ringing a very low, dull bell. Roux. Eraqus. Terra... He throws a bit of a sharp glance to the other, before passing the photograph to the other with a quick flick of his wrist* I suppose I should appologize for your loss with some sort of grievances, but concerning the nature of my kind, such an act on my part would be considered a lie.
As for the ones you speak of, the King of which you speak is the only bearer mentioned that I have had the 'fortune' of meeting him... *eye rolls* The /rat/ has not but been a thorn in my side progressively over the last few months
[6/1/2012 10:21:42 PM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ ignores the comment about mickey] I have one more pic i want to show you. this was taken at our reunion, when eraqus got his first apprentences. we took another pic of the 4 of us to see how much we'd changed.
[pulls out the pic. they all look older, era is scarred and mnort is clearly himself. bald and all. he silently hands the picture over and after letting xem look at it for a moment whispers softly.] yenny said xehanorts star ans terra's star started to merge but something caused them to stop halfway....
[6/1/2012 10:38:19 PM | Edited 10:38:33 PM] Quil: Xemnas: . . . *looks down at the picture with great distate, the image sticking clearly in his mind. He looks over the the four faces in complete silence, eyeing the darker skinned master.* So frail... wretched is the toll of time one must live through, suffering greatly at the hands of mortality... inbalance between light and darkness, creating imperfect worlds to where in the end only death, destruction and darkness reign supreme over that of the light. To have all Hearts fade to darkness - humans should have never been forced to meet such a fate. If only the Light would deam one worthy enough to.. *his eyes seem to flash from orange to gold with these words, a tone of a growl hanging over his breath. The headache spikes, before Xemnas drops to a knee, clutching his chest. the photograph slips out of his graps, landing back at Roux's feet*
*Xemnas looks up to the other, eyeing him cautiously through a wince* tell me old man... what have you to gain by showing me these memories?
[6/1/2012 10:43:52 PM | Edited 10:44:15 PM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ bends down and picks up the picture, carefully putting it away. he offers his arm to xemnas ] my apprentices are like my sons to me. what do i have to gain? my son back.
plus maybe you'd want to join my crew! [ laughs grinning, he is incapable of being serious for more than a minute]
Xemnas: *his eyes peirce the other, trying to read the man's Heart, descerning what he should make of this. Honesty is the only thing he can read from the man's emotions, which somehow trouble the Nobody greatly. He looks down, eyes closed before Xemnas backhands the man's hand away from his reach*
... I need not concern you. *states gruffly, before resummoning his strength to stand, his hand crossed over to his left shoulder, just above the torso where his heart would have resided. he turns away easily, showing his back to the other* I have no intrest in lowering myself to subjigate myself to the likes of you, human. My goals are of that of a higher purpase, one to which I can not idely cast off. I have the likes of my own kind to think of first, before myself. *the last bit is rather of a blatent lie, but the emotionless face passes it off nevertheless. he turns a hard side glance back to the man however*
Besides, did you not just say it was one of the finer moments of your life to be rid of me?
roux: so you really don't remember. [ shakes head and sighs ]
Xehanort i'm warning you. cease and desist you current path. it will lead to nothing but ruin. your ruin. [ though he speaks seriously, he's smiling and his eyes are dancing. like he's privy to some inside joke]
[6/1/2012 11:26:10 PM | Edited 11:26:29 PM] Quil: Xemnas: *his gaze meets the others at the thought of his memories once more. Nostrills flare in agitation, his tollerance for the man growing slim. Inhaling the Nobody merely lets out a chuckle* Forgive me, /master/, that I should beg to disagree. One cannot destroy that which does not exhist. Nothingness is eternal within the Void. The only thing that shall befall ruin is that of the imperfection of this universe that we call the Worlds... * I have sacrificed much to do anything but continue down my current path.
*He turns towards the other, outstreching his hands in a mannor as if giving the other an open invitation, eyes flashing with interest, wondering wither or not the other should with to try his luck.* There is not a soul alive who can bring me to ruin.
roux: [ watches xem with a flash of sadness in his eyes ] you know nothing. [ shakes head with a sad sigh]
I bet (magmadudenamehere) could. Kizaru(lightdude) too. there's always a bigger fish. someone thinks he's invincible and thats the moment he dies.
Xehanort! [ he forces a touch of his will on the other, freezing him in place] you are gravely outmatched.
[6/1/2012 11:51:58 PM | Edited 12:04:53 AM] Quil: Xemnas: *eyes narrow darkly to the other's words, before summoning his longer ethereal blades to his palms, the red light glowing dangerously. He lifts the energy blades back, meaning to stride through darkness to greet the other with a full onslaught barage. Taking a step forewards his form begins to disappear in with such speed that would make him appear to vanish within the blink of an eye*
*Something strikes him as his name is called out. The Nobody's form is struck, blade inches away from Roux's open guard. Xemnas's eyes go wide, having lost complete control of his moment, as if frozen in time by someone casting Stopga on his being. The energy to his palms begins to flicker, almost hesitantly as if it could disappear at any moment as quickly as it came. A light of fear and recognition comes to his eyes. His eyes flash gold, as the pain returns. He can only whispers out* this... power... I know your Heart...
*the light of his blades vanish a moment later before the Nobody collapses under the man's will*
roux: [blinks] i didn't use that much force. . . . : D maybe his memories are coming back! ^0^
Xemnas: *hits the ground hard, head pounding from Roux's will and his mind spinning from the shear familiarity of the sensation. Eyes narrow, as he grips the ground for support, trying both to keep his composition and mind together. He seems to be failing rather miserably at both. Feeling something start to tear at the back of his thoughts the man drops to his shoulder on the ground, eyes shut tight in pain.*
b*****d... who... *cracks an eye, a look of confusion and frustration in his expression* -what are you... to which would allow your Heart to disperse of such s-strength... Such power cannot exhist without anger and rage..
[12:49:03 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ smiles down at xeha ] ahh how familiar. the minute you find yourself confused you come asking me for answers. [ chuckles ]
Xemnas: your words are not but a fallacy. Darkness is the Heart's true power. Anger and hate reign supreme. If you mean to sat that Light-- *grits his teeth in a grimace as the headache spikes. His aura seems to manifest itself, before Xemnas errupts into shadow. When the darkness finally disappates a figure appears standing next to Xemnas's form. The organization xiii cowl still remains, though the figure is much younger - the boy from the photograph. Xemnas's empty chest throbs, as he looks up in confusion to the sight, falling completely silent*
Xeh: *gold eye opens on Roux, before he gives his former Master a sympathetic smirk* oi... jiji.. want to do me a favor an quit the crap with the forced will... his mind is broken enough as it is...
[1:19:45 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: : DDDDD NORTY!!!! [GLOMPS] dawwww norty~ i missed youuuu!! >w< [ one-arm huggle. rubs head in his hair.] i stopped the will on himthe moment he passed out~ [nuzzlenuzzle]
[1:31:19 AM] Quil: Xeh: 0-0; *is tackled into a hug by the other. He stiffens at first, as the other wraps his arm around him. His eyes look a bit uncertain, wither or not he should accept the compation from his Master. He lets the other embrace him for a moment, sighing out lightly, before he pushes his arms outward on the other's chest, trying to get out of the other's grip, or at least push him to arms length away from him* by the Light, old man- I get it! Will you get off of me?? D<
Xemnas: . . . . *rolls over trying to ignore the situation, so that he can regain his composure* now i know i've lived to see everything...
[1:34:58 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: NEVER!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! [ and attempts to tickle xeha] you've been naughty norty!!!playing with darkness!! how many times must i warn you before you'll listen?! i'm not gonna be around forever to-- WAHAHAHA!!! now there's an idea!!! >D i'll just ave to come back from the dead and harrass you to keep you out of trouble!!
[1:52:17 AM] Quil: Xeh: mother of-*eyes widen lightly, as the other proceeds to tickling a side. His teeth clentch, biting back a laugh as some of his old memories come back to life in his mind. He shakes the thoughts off attempting to steel his emotions, a light sarcastic frown comes to his face. He gives up in trying to struggle, though his arms still remained locked* Yeah right.. Just /try/ and haunt me, and I swear, I'll bring you back from the dead just to kill you all over again. >
[1:56:49 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: D< YOU WOULD KILL YOUR MASTER!?! [ fun & games over. he gives a full blast, remembering just in time to make sure xeha doesn't fant. ] thats not something to joke about Xehanort. Ever. [ voice is deadly ] Killing is never something to take lightly. ad never should you forget the blood that stains you hands when you take a life. It stays with you. and sooner or later, you'll have to pay the debt for every life taken.
[2:08:48 AM] Quil: Xeh: *teeth grimace sharply as Roux's will pushes against his mind. He buckles to a bended knee, still somehow managing to keep his posture. His eyes close against the power, a frown present on his face under Roux's heated tone. Somehow though, an odd smile comes to his face as he looks back up at his Master. His face and smile seem a bit sad, but his eye burn with an inner fire; the old spark of his ambition, turned into something far more threatening confidence, almost deadly in a way* ... Sorry to tell you this, Master Roux... but you're just a little late for that lecture...
[2:10:15 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: . . . . xehanort. what have you done. just how bloody are your hands?
[2:33:16 AM | Edited 2:37:39 AM] Quil: Xeh: *lets the moment hang between he and his master before shaking his head slowly. He does not answer that question. He cannot. To tell his Master that he slayed a man that he once called his closest friend, a fellow apprentice- a brother?Closing his eyes, he draws himself up again, an inner passing thought that he would be struck down just as easily as before.*
Years ago when you told me about the pure light. How the world nearly destroyed itself through Darkness. The Children of Pure Hearts, the inbalance... As well as the secrets you refused to tell me as a child and more. The Keyblade War, the Graveyard... *eyes narrow to him softly, before he looks upward as if remembering the sight of Kingdom Hearts high above his head in those outlands*
I figured it out, Roux. *gives a weak, joy filled laugh* I figured it out! A way to bring the Pure Light back; to restore the worlds to their former glory. /Perminantely/! Think about it! A place without pain or suffering. *glances to Xemnas, whom is beinging to stand to his feet* a world were people do not have to dwell in doubt or fear... There will be no more charade of a faulty balance between Light and Darkness.
But a world so pure cannot be ushered in without great sacrifice. That much the legends are indeed clear of... *pauses looking down for a moment before looking back to his Master* I know you will never understand... Not now at least.. But if I can be found worthy, and suceed the Light will return. I'm sure of it!
Xemnas: /to recreate the worlds within ones own image..../
[2:39:51 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ stares at xeha and gives a weary, heart-wrenching sigh. shaking his head] xeha. oh xeha. [ sighs again and ruffles his own hair] uch i'm getting waaaayyy to old for this. bleh ;P i suppose I cant just pass it off to my successor. bah! kids.
so tell me kid. what do you know of sacrifice? [ point to his missing arm ] I like to think myself something of an expert on the worthy sacrifice.
[2:49:34 AM] Quil: Xeh: *His face softens lightly to his Master's disappointment. He thought as much would happen, though still he had hoped aganist hope the man would have seen some reason to his words. He glances to his Master's missing arm, before a weak smile comes to his lips. He had never found out how he had lost his arm.. but now, now it didn't seem to matter* Yes... I know of sacrafice.
*Raising a finger to his chest, he mearly strokes his lower left shoulder with a "X" shaped mark - the spot right above his Heart* Bet it on the future, right?
[2:56:07 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: [nods] a boy, a child, i'd grown found of was drowning and the local sea monster was coming to gobble him up. I showed up in time to save the boy, but lost my arm in the process. [clutches his arm. a pained look in his face like he can feel teeth tearing flesh and bone.] I gave him a glare and he fled. After that i decided to give the boy my hat.
[ sighs] it was a good choice. he's turing our home upside down. changing the world for the better, exposing and fighting corruption, he has the amazing ability to make friends out of anyone, even enemies. [ smiles ] he's chasing a dream and he's almost there. He can do it. turn the impossible possible. descend into legend and make it real. [ beams with pride ] It was a risky gamble, but its paying off. or perhaps it wasn't a risky gamble at all. I always knew there was something special about him. . . .
[3:11:06 AM] Quil: Xeh: ... *listens intently to the man's story, before bowing his head in silence* I never knew... *a passive look comes over him before he shakes his head*
I have to wonder now, in the end, am I the same? Just another risk? A gamble? heh. Guess so seeing as how much I've risked already.
*shakes head* This is my destiny. This was why the door brought me to the Land of Departure so long ago, I'm sure of it... And I will gladly lay my life down to see this vision of mine come to pass. No matter the cost.
[3:17:10 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ shrugs silently] you never needed to know before. my past is no one's business but mine. That's why i never shared it with anyone. Not even Kazzy knew. oh, he knew the pirating. but not the rest.
[tsks] I despise destiny. its one of those things i want to spit in the face of. like those self-righteous Tenryuubito. [ gives xeha a very larxene glare] destiny is just an excuse to justify doing whatever the hell you want.
[ softens, sighing ] but how many innocent lives will also be lost, xehanort? [ questions softly]
[3:31:52 AM] Quil: Xeh: ... *smirks to himself before shaking his head* I guess that's one way of seeing it.
Do you really wish to know, Master? The truth may just break you.... *pauses for a moment before letting go of a very short sigh*
Everything...
*he stands straight with a full resolve, mentally bracing himself for the impact. His face became completely emotionless, his eyes full of his old sense of ambition.* /Every living thing/... That is the cost.
/All worlds/ must be sent into Darkness to usher in the Pure Light. A Darkness so powerful that only the /true/ Kingdom Hearts can be summoned from the blackness, and save them. All Hearts end in Darkness, but are also reborn to light. This is what must come to pass. A second Keyblade War.
[3:34:00 AM] {Kitzu}: roux: [ eyes widen.] no. . . .
xehanort. i though i taught you better than this!! [ shakes head ] I guess this means its my failure as a teacher. so i'll have to stop you.
[3:58:35 AM | Edited 4:01:09 AM] Quil: Xeh: You're not a failure... If it was not for you, I would have never found my path. For that reason alone, I will never reguard you as such, for as long as I live. I'm sure if they knew, YenSid and Eraqus would think the same, where they here or understood. The decision is not but my own... *drags off*
*gives a weak chuckle* Believe me, Master, I wish there was another way *shakes his head, looking down cast for a moment* I've excersized nearly all avenues over the years. From forcibly summoning the X-blade through the hands of my own apprentice, to gathering the current seven Princesses of Heart. *throws a look at Xemnas* I've even going as far currently to recreate a duplicate Kingdom Hearts.
If this does not work, then what? Will my experiments be for not? The years of work I've spent seeking this one final truth, wasted? I grow weary. I have spent the course of two life times trying to achieve this goal. To one of which I have even figured out to stop the cruel hand of time itself and cheat even the slow decending hands of death.
No. I fear it with every /fiber/ of my being that the legends may be wrong, but the worlds have always had a simple poetic truth. There will always be life through death.. The night will fall sending the worlds into an eternal abyss, only for a new dawn to rise. This /is/ what's best for the worlds. I only wish you could see it... I mean to save them from themselves.
*small smile, faced with the idea of a crushing blow from his master at any given second, he seems unphased. An inner confidence, near the verge of perhaps insanity* I'm sorry Master. You cannot stop the pieces I've already put into play. Too much is at risk. I cannot allow you to stop me.
