As we emerged in Atlantica we were plunged in immediate combat. But this type of fighting bored me...there was no challenge...no effort...no threat of death...it was just plain slaughter of the weak. I began to notice how many Nobodies were here...Me, Nyx, Lexian, Xemmsur, Ayrax, Kyxsha, and then of course Triskix and the new nobody Jinx. To sum it up...there were far too many of us for such a mundane task...
Without telling them, I opened up a portal to Halloweentown. That's where they'd said Xait was battling Akane...and frankly...it was looking more and more appealing to me. I emerged in the middle of a graveyard...yet I sensed their energy coming from further across the way...at a creepy looking mansion. I portaled outside and by chance, noticed Rexikat there as well. She was watching things unfold from up a tree.
"Ahem..." I coughed to get her attention. "So uh...what's going on?" I asked.
She came down for a moment and explained the situation to me.
"Okay...so this Oogie Boogie dude...he's not an ally right?" I asked to clarify.
"No. Most definitely not...but you really shouldn't inter..."
I didn't let her finish that sentence. There was an enemy before me...an enemy I didn't like the looks or smell of for that matter. In an instant I flashed behind the bag of bugs and slashed him in half with one sweep. The bag squealed and wiggled around on the floor. It disgusted me...so I hit it with a lightning bolt...it turned to ash and blew away on a gust of wind.
"How disappointing..." I stated sadly. "I thought this guy was supposed to be something worth fighting...chh....guess not." I looked up at Xait and Akane. Akane's mouth was hanging open...either she didn't know who I was...or was just infuriated by what I'd done. She removed the saw from Xait's neck and began approaching me.
"Just who the hell do you think you are, Spiky?" She commented in an irritated tone.
"Spiky?" I questioned. "What's with that tone? You wouldn't be challenging me...Now would you?"
She looked rather angry as she pointed the saw at me. "You're gonna pay for what you did to Oogie!!!"
I grabbed the hilt of my blade once more and smiled. My blood was boiling...and I hoped this would be worthy of exerting some actual effort. "Come on then...if you think you have a chance!!" I yelled, holding my hand up and beckoning her to me with my finger.
She charged...I sped around so quickly that I'm sure she would have severe trouble reading my movements. I didn't really like this playing field though...and with Xait stuck in the middle...he was in the way. I appeared behind him and cut him loose. Then in a swift movement I sent him flying out the door towards Rexikat. He hit the ground hard, as he hadn't expected me to be so rough.
"She's my opponent!" He called out angrily.
"Afraid not." I rejected. "You had your chance but from where I was standing...was in a losing situation. So I'm afraid you've forfeited your match with her...this woman is my Prey now!" I shouted. "Just stay there! I didn't save you...you were in my WAY!!!"
I felt the battle demon within me flowing to the surface...I was going to enjoy this match no matter what I'd have to do to ensure that!!!
