HOW DARE YOU!" I came out of my Zombie like state to hear yelling "Impudent woman! Injuring a Demigod with your blasphemy!" The voice sounded so familiar yet i could not quite place it. I looked around me and found myself in the Throne room at Argaba... Keesha was behind this... but were was she?
"Domix!" That yell i recognised as Ximh. I came and stood near the window and watched as The twins talked. Ximh's back was to me and i saw Keesha lying face down on the floor infront of Domix's feet The Thorne of Truth lying near her.
"I'm sorry Magni....I didn't mean to interfere...I really didn't..." He spoke in a broken tone. "How...what...did I do?"
"It doesn't matter...the woman is subdued...we have to find the weapons now." Ximh tore off a piece of his shirt and hastily bandaged up his arm. The blood from his cut eluminated in the moonlight, my eyes were fixed on XImh before i noticed Domix walking towards me with Keesha. I rushed to the darkest corner to hide myself.Domix dropped her on the floor inside the balcony with a thud. "Now...where do you think the armory would be?" Ximh asked
"I can help you find it...they aren't in the armory though...THOSE weapons are the war-room..." I spoke slowly walking forwards out of the shadows.
".....Kyxsha?" Ximh asked.
I stood as Domix walked back to grab the spear from where it lay. He spun the spear and aimed it at Keesha's exposed throat.
"Don't, she is evil but without these weapons she is no threat to you."
Domix looked at me and growled as he recognised me.
"Domix" Ximh said, his look made Domix take the spear from Keesha's throat.
"These Weapons?" he pretty much growled.
"The war room... This way." i showed them to the passageway on the left of the throne. I created a porthole underneath Keesha, she went through it and landed on the pillow lined floor of her bedroom.
We walked onto the war room, Each weapon as majestic as the last. My gaze fell onto the spear Domix now held. The Handle had delicate images of the past gods running and playing along with animals, all the craviings were covered with gold leaf and shone in the torchlight. The Final Life, the long sword, gold hilted with gems encrusting the sccabard. Chains of Hope, the colour of blood, and shining like rubies. Pupils of the Devil, twin daggers that were plainer then their other counterparts in this room, but they were made for practicality... to go unnoticed by the gods until they felt deaths breathe against their neck.
The Twins grabbed all of them and started to pack them for travel.
'My father always told me these weapons were undestructable, that rust would never damage them... but that didn't mean they should be used for their purpose, When Keesha is gone you will have no threat from this country... even IF we still had those weapons.' i said leaning against the door frame.
"Keesha... you talk as if she is an entirely different person." Ximh commented.
"She is, we are nothing alike. She would have used those weapons on you the second she could... and i see she did," i said as i saw the blood soaking his rough bandage, "But i would never do that. Power is not what i desire."
"Then what IS it you desire?" Domix asked.
I just smiled as both boys looked at me and waited for my answear.
".... Why would a god care about the desires of a human?" i asked him back. With that i walked away from the room and entered Keesha's room. I watched over her and waited till she awoke.
I felt Ximh's presence come to the door for a short while but without a word he left. I no longer felt their presence in Agaraba, so I just sat there and waited until Keesha woke up.
Her eyes stirred and finally she began to rise.
"You killed them right?" she asked when she turned to see me. "You killed them and kept our ancestors weapons safe?"
I raised my head slightly and looked up at the ceiling. The sun was about to rise over the horizon. I looked Keesha in the eyes and shook my head.
"No, The gods have the weapons. They will keep them safe."
She screamed at me, but i just sat there and waited until she finshed, her curses directed at me but also at Ximh and his Brother as they were now most likely back at their fathers, showing him the weapons and getting their praises.

Kyxsha
I was in a death like sleep. And I knew it. The last thing I remembered was hearing Tamex’s stressed voice. No doubt he was going insane over having to do the medical on me. Slowly I felt my wounds close, and my mind drifted away towards something I could grasp without losing. My memories.
“Hahahahah,” I laughed. “Whatcha gonna do now Lexian? I win.”
“As if Triskix,” Lexian answered back.
We were both staring at each other. I had a pair of scissors in my hand and a piece of Lexian’s hair in the other. Lexian was giving me such a hateful look, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll set that emo hair in order,” I smirked.
“And I’ll kick your pyro butt,” Lexian answered.
“Enough you two,” Axel scolded. I turned around just in time to miss head being sliced off by a charkram.
“Axel you need to keep better control of your apprentice,” Zexion sighed.
“As do you Zexion,” Axel answered.
They both looked at each other, but I had turned to look at Lexian. He was smirking, and I did too. Lexian threw a ball of darkness and I met it with a fireball. The explosion made a cloud of smoke, and Lexian and I ran for it.
“You nearly got me in trouble,” Lexian sighed as we bolted down the hall.
“You started it by messing with my order,” I shot back.
We both smirked and continued running. Suddenly the floor turned to ice, and I fell straight on my face. RaXi’s voice laughed, and the sound of Lexian sliding into a wall hit my ears.
“RaXi that’s not nice….” Nyx’s voice started.
“But they deserved it,” RaXi answered.
“Probably,” Xemmsur answered.
“What did they do now?” another voice asked. I turned and saw Tanex smiling at the group that was appearing.
I got to my feet and smirked.
“We didn’t do anything,” I answered.
“Right,” Tanex answered. I didn’t even have to look to see if he was rolling his eyes.
“Well since the master’s aren’t around, let’s….” RaXi started, but she caught me and Lexian looking at each other.
“Marluxia’s closet fun?”” Lexian asked.
I smirked. “Sure,” I answered.
Then the scene changed. And I watched again the destruction of the masters. I felt the feeling of helplessness as I watched Axel help to end them all. And then I watched Axel's end. I recoiled again.
I woke up laughing hystarically. Hearing my own voice I sat straight up. Tamex was looking at me, and I just stared back at him. My entire body felt stiff.
“You might not want to do that,” Tamex said calmly. He didn’t get up, and soon I saw why. Minx was sleeping on his shoulder. I tried to take a breath in but found myself extremely tense. I flipped my legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand. Pain tore through me.
“Like I just said,” Tamex said again. “You might not want to do that. You’ll tear a bit of stitching…..”
“I’m fine,” I answered. “Just unbelievably hungry.”
I didn’t wait for Tamex’s response. I just started towards the kitchen. I managed to make it there without inflicting too much pain on myself. I made myself some coffee and toasted some bread. How long had it been since I’d eaten….I couldn’t even tell. Suddenly I felt another presence in the room.
“Yes?” I asked sharply. A laugh was the response.
“You recovered quickly,” the Leader’s voice answered. “Plans have changed by the way. You will attack Zero’s castle in a week and a half. In that time, I want you to look into a matter for me.”
“Hm?” I answered taking a bite of toast.
“Xerebus is up to something. Either that or his subordinates are. Find out what it is and report back before one week is over,” the Leader said darkly.
Bastard….my thoughts roared, but the Leader didn’t say any more and just left.
I took an aggravated breath inwards remembering what he had done before. Just a bit more…just a bit more and the pact would be broken, and then I would make him pay. Xraktos had destroyed my last nerve, and I would make him pay. The pact would end when his machine came to life. And then I would end Xraktos for making me suffer. I was done being the dog. Time to go back to being what I was before coming back. Time to be the red shinigami again. And when I got what I wanted…..I would fight Xraktos on my own grounds. And I would win. I was done.
A memory twitched in my mind. Axel's face jumped into my mind with sharp persistence and a rare anger of betrayal ran though me. I took a breath in for a moment. When the Masters came back….things would be right again. And I would return the castle to its glory. I would be Axel’s redeemer. I would have fulfilled the job I had assigned myself the day Axel faded. I felt a relaxing fire grow through me. Yes that was what I wanted. It had almost seemed to leave my mind for a bit, but it was back. That was why I was here now. I would bring them back. Even if it cost my life.
I felt my scythe appear in my hand. It begged to kill something. To sever some string of life. I ignored its pull. I took a breath in and opened a portal to Zero’s front gate. I smirked and took a step fowards.

Soji: Triskix sit you butt down! You just went through surgery and hell and......
Triskix: T_T Shut up Sojiro. I don't want to hear it from you right now.
Soji: o_0;;;;;;
I didn't know what to think anymore...I was handing over Organization Zero to Xraktos...all so Martel could come back. But I know she wouldn't approve of it...but what else was there to do?!
"What am I suppose to do?!" I muttered and punched a wall.
I needed time to think...away from here...
I opened a portal hoping to find a place to think...instead I found her...Nyx. But what was she doing HERE?
I clenched my fist and relaxed it, only to clench it again...what should I do?!
She looked like she was remembering something...was it me? Could she be remembering her past?
Suddenly she seemed to be in pain....she started to back away from me but that seemed to hurt her even more.
“W-who…” her voice cracked.
“Who are… you?” She pleaded.
Of course she didn't remember me! How could I have been so stupid?! But it'd been so long, so it was to be expected...but still, I had hoped...
I stood there, just looking at her. She hadn't changed...she looked the same way I remember. Sure her clothes were different but....it was still Nyx. I'd finally found her again....
"I...I'm Xerebus...and I'm glad to see you again Ms. Nyx..."I finally said, smiling slightly.
