I was a fool for keeping my signal up. Only I realized this far too late. I should never have tried to lead ANYONE to me...not as far gone as I was. The restraints were all but gone within...I was now a threat to ANYONE who dared approach. At this point in time...it was hard enough just holding on these last few moments. I should've accepted my fate...should've just given up...then no one would be hurt again...not like before.
"RaXi..." I heard someone speak. My greatest fear, it was Nyx...I heard her footsteps approaching slowly after a moment. She hesitated and I didn't blame her, I was sure my facial marks were already beginning to form. Suddenly the blindfold was gone. Yet that didn't seem to help any...it was hazy...I still couldn't see clearly.
I struggled to speak...my breaths short and raspy. Nyx was speaking...but I couldn't hear her. My mind was becoming fuzzier and fuzzier. "Nyx...get out..." I struggled. "Go away...I can't...can't stop it anymore...too weak...please........just go!" My voice was so low...yet I felt I had to try...had to get her AWAY!
She ignored me and reached for my bonds. NO! NOOOO! If she undid those...my power would be freed and then she would have free reign! Nyx would be...NOOOO!
With the last bit of my strength I tried to resist...yet at that moment the bonds were broken...my chains were released and I lost control completely. Throwing Nyx fiercely, she hit the wall, but managed to regain her composure quickly. The entire room was frozen over in a matter of seconds, spikes of ice jutting up from the floor. Nyx avoided them all...and waited for what she had known would happen.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed upon my release. Yet I was no longer the calm, cool and collected RaXi. I was RaXi of the Darkness...the one who I had fought and struggled through years of training to gain control over. The SHE I feared. The one who had caused me pain...and brought only destruction in her wake. She was my duplicity...the other side to the coin.
"RaXi...I was afraid of this." Nyx stated standing firmly. She was ready for anything...and remembered the incident of the past well it seemed.
I turned my cold glare at her. The bright blue of my eyes glowing fiercely in the darkness of the room...the marks darkened on my face. "You are a fool. You stand there so defensively...yet you know that will not avail you...you haven't the strength to combat me." The Dark RaXi commented, casually breaking an ice spear and forming it into a sword. "Why don't you run? You want to...I can almost feel your trembling from here. Why do you stay?"
"RaXi is my friend! You won't control her!" Nyx shouted, holding her defensive stance.
Loud malicious laughter escaped my lips. It echoed eerily all around...but then suddenly stopped completely. Another glare straight at Nyx...and then a barrage of ice needles shot at her. Cutting her up...but overall doing no REAL damage. Blood slid down Nyx's cheek as she stared defiantly and unfazed.
"Why don't you draw your sword? Oh, that's right...it recognizes ME as an ally...you CAN'T fight me..." Dark RaXi cackled. "How pathetic...you should at least do SOMETHING...unless you want me to KILL you this time Nyx. Well...would you die for RaXi?"
"I won't run away...and I won't fight you RaXi. I know you can stop her! Wake up! Fight back!" Nyx shouted...her voice aiming for the RaXi now deep in slumber...she stirred....only slightly. "GAH!" Nyx cried out as a sword was plunged into her shoulder.
"You ARE a fool. What is this...a barrier you've set up? Whoever is beyond these doors WILL die...you can't protect them NYX!" Dark RaXi growled in Nyx's face. Still Nyx glared defiantly. Dark RaXi pulled the sword out roughly. She licked the blood off the ice and smiled. "Yes...I remember the taste of your blood well. Yet this defiance of yours...this is something new. Back then...you were so shocked to find RaXi had a....darker side. You must've idolized her." Dark RaXi cackled. "What? Was she PERFECT in your eyes?" She continued to laugh. Yet quickly tired of Nyx's glare...getting harsher by the moment.
"Return where you belong! Allow RaXi to wake up! NOW!" Nyx ordered.
Dark RaXi twitched. She gripped Nyx's throat and lifted her up. "And just what do you think YOU can do if I refuse?! Your arrogance is also a new trait. I don't know who you think you are! Why do you dislike me Nyx? I destroy RaXi's enemies...I PROTECT her! Yet you want to suppress me...to return me to the darkness of that abyss! I am the one bound...only able to surface when SHE sees fit! What kind of existence is that?!"
"RaXi is stronger than you..." Nyx stammered, struggling for air. "You should be glad to be with her...you are one..."
"Heh..." Dark RaXi scoffed and threw Nyx aside. "You aren't any fun to torment...I need blood...but I don't want yours..."
"It's because RaXi won't let you..." Nyx muttered trying to recover from hitting the wall once again...her wound was bleeding pretty bad. Her barrier had weakened slightly...
Dark RaXi turned her attention to getting out. Just as she attempted to break the barrier though, it was destroyed from the other side. The door flew open. Dark RaXi smiled and sent a barrage of ice needles out the small crack, even before it had a chance to open wide enough. Some were diverted by a strong blast of air...but the others found targets. Instantly killing, by piercing and freezing over the previous guards.
"Stop! RAXI!" Nyx shouted desperately getting to her feet.
"Shut up you!" Dark RaXi shouted back turning to glare at her once more. "I can kill you in an instant! My first attack...remember? You should feel the crystals in your bloodstream...don't press your luck or...."
"THAT'S ENOUGH RAXI!" A man's voice boomed. "CALM YOURSELF NOW!!!"
An old command...Dark RaXi stood there wide-eyed. Her eye twitched a bit as the other RaXi began to wake up...she turned to find the source of the voice. Pink wild hair, piercing grey eyes....
"No! Impossible....You're DEAD!!!" Dark RaXi shouted. "Master...Marluxia...." Gripping her head she fell to her knees. "I'm....sorry....." Then she collapsed to the floor. Completely unconscious...yet the ice remained and even started to spread beyond the door.
This is the one time looking like THAT MAN actually came in use... He thought to himself. The Man looked over at Nyx. "Why didn't you fight her?! I told you, if you don't fight...you'll be KILLED NYX!"
"Marlex..." Nyx muttered. Yet she suddenly remembered why he was here. She jumped to her feet.
"Stay there!" Marlex shouted. "I'm sorry Nyx...but I'm afraid RaXi will be coming with me. Don't try and stop me...or I'll have to fight you." He stood there locked in a paralyzing stare with Nyx...his eyes were filled with resolution...he was serious.
