“What,” I said darkly back to Lexian. “You’re saying you ever forgot?”
Lexian’s eyes took on a purple hue, and I felt the change in mine.
“No,” Lexian answered back. “I never forgot the facts of it, but the events just came forward in my mind. And Triskix….I’m angry…..”
“Oh so the emo’s angry?” I smirked back. “And edging for a fight? Fine, I think a fight is in order…..”
“You and your order….” Lexian glared back. “I’ll slash it to bits….”
Lexian slashed forwards, but I brought my scythe straight forwards blocking the diagonal slash. While still blocked, I quickly moved the length of the scythe down and carved at the keybalde with the enclosing of my scythe. In an instant, Lexian drew back, and the sound of his heals digging into the ground clamored along with the echo of metal on metal.
Cherry red flames grew on the walls and mingled with the black aura slowly emitting from the brick itself. It was an open turn, and I took it. I set the ends of the chains on fire and started forwards bringing my scythe down in a circular motion. The chain and ball followed, and as Lexian blocked the scythe’s sharp scream of death, it left him completely open for the fire of the chains to lynch forwards.
“I win,” I said quickly, but suddenly the dark aura beat back the flames as well as the chais.
“Don’t be so confident Pyro,” Lexian growled.
We clashed again and again, but in the back of my mind the memory Lexian had referred to was coming back…..Even in the chaos of the fight……It came back…..
Everyone was being moved away….all the apprentices were being evacuated by the remaining masters. Axel had pretty much renounced his claim to Organization 13 and had even joined Sora……and I was left dazed and confused. I couldn’t believe Axel had really left me….After I had defended him…….After I had assured everyone that is was some plan by Xemnas…..and then he leaves me…..but some part of me wanted to believe he’d come back….some part of me knew….or wanted it all to go back to normal.
“Go Triskix!” Someone said. I wasn’t paying attention anymore trapped in my own disbelief.
I was ushered into a portal and ended up in Twilight Town. Lexian was standing not far off. He was glaring at me. I gave a similar look. Ever since the beginning of the split between the Organization 13 had started…Lexian and I had slowly moved away from each other.
“Triskix this is your fault,” Lexian glared.
“What do you mean,” I glared back. “I didn’t plan any of this.”
“They’re all fading, and we can’t do anything….” Lexian continued. “Zexion….Vexen….all of them are fading….And it’s Axel’s fault. He’s the traitor….And I think…….”
“That I had a part in it,” I glared back. “That I was conspiring with my master…..”
“Yes,” Lexian answered. “Now tell me Triskix….is I t true?”
“No,” I answered, and Lexian’s face somewhat relaxed. “But if I had known, I would have still followed my master….He’s not a traitor! I refuse to believe it!”
“You’re a liar and a traitor,” Lexian glared.
“You’re the traitor! No you’re the failure!” I yelled back. “You let your master die!”
At this, Lexian’s eye flinched.
“I DID NOT!” Lexian glared.
“You a weakling! A Failure!” I continued. “You couldn’t even save one person! Weaklings shouldn’t exist! You’re a failure! Axel is still alive! And Zexion isn’t! FAILURE!”
“Shut up!” Lexian yelled summoning his keyblade. I formed my scythe.
“You shut up!” I yelled back. “All you ever did was follow them around! And you’re still weak! I’m stronger than you!”
“Traitor!”
“Failure!”
With that we clashed as ruthlessly as we did now. My mind moved back to the current fight.
“You’re a traitor Triskix,” Lexian glared.
“You’re a failure Lexian,” I answered.
We continued to clash. Fire meeting darkness and each wrestling each other’s current or brute strength. I slashed sideways at his side, but in a split second Lexian was out of range. I summoned up a fireball and shot it off at him. Lexian easily cut it in half with the slice of his keybalde.
Suddenly the castle seemed to come down. The ceiling seemed to crack. I looked straight up unsure of just what the heck was going on. At that moment I realized RaXi was in the room. How long had she been there? I had no clue….Lexian looked up as well and was dodging the debris.
“We’ll deal with this later,” I yelled.
“Fine!” Lexian yelled back.
More of the castle seemed to crumble, and I moved swiftly get out of the way.
“RaXi get Anamx somewhere safe!” I hollered across the room.
RaXi was already in action trying to move away from the falling ceiling. As Lexian and I got out of the room, more of the ceiling began to fall. It was like the entire central tower was falling!
“The attack!” I said. “Something is going wrong! We’re under attack!”
“But I don’t sense any presence,” Lexian answered. “That means they’re at Ciatdel. Let’s go.”
As we appeared at Citadel there was a mass of chaos. Their castle was falling in the center just as ours had been. Lexian and I stormed into the castle after the fleeing members of Zero.
“We have to find who is blowing up this castle,” Lexian said. “I sense Rexikat and Ximh…..just down this hallway.”
“Let’s go then,” I said.
Just as we entered Xmh and Rexikat were running out along with Ama and Xait. The ceiling was beginning to crack even more.
“Ximh!” I yelled. “We have to stop whatever you’re doing! It’s destroying our castle!”
“What!” Ximh yelled.
“No time for talk!” Lexian bellowed. “We need to stop the bombs!”
“But I’ve already detonated them!” Ximh yelled.
“Then we must contain them,” Lexian answered. “If this continues neither world will have a castle left….”
“Yes we have to stop. Ximh where is the largest bomb?”
“In the center….it is supposed to go of first and then detonate the rest….” Ximh said. “It’s already started the other explosions….”
“We have to contain the other bombs!” I yelled.
“Ya come on,” Lexian yelled running with me towards the center.
“Wait!” Xait yelled, but Lexian and I were already running.
“Just get out!” I yelled. “We’ll deal with this!”
As we approached the large bomb, it looked to be holding a large amount of electricity and was about to release it all and destroy the castle.
“Lexian, we have to contain it,” I yelled.
“Fire and Darkness? “ Lexian asked.
“Just focus your Dark energy on the bomb!” I yelled.
As the static from the electricity mixed with the dark aura, I made a fire coating. As the bomb detonated the aura and fire contained it. The bomb released a large amount of energy and blew Lexian and me back. We had managed to stop it…….
I felt my body fall forwards, and I staggered on the wall. Lexian seemed to be in the same shape as me.
“Back to the castle….” I breathed opening a portal.
“Ya…..” Lexian said.
We both entered the portal which led to my room. I crashed on the bed, and Lexian fell into the chair next to me. We were both breathing hard, but everything sounded in peace. Our castle wasn’t falling….it was safe….
I lay on the bed for about five minutes before the Leader appeared. I could feel the strange worry running over him. It was strange to feel.
“The attack was taking down my castle,” he said harshly. “The attack meant for their castle was taking down my castle. Dam that Xerebus….he must have linked the castles’ destinies to each other because they exist on completely inverse plains….”
I could barely understand what he was talking about. I was too drossy. The confinement of the explosion had taken a lot. All I wanted was to be at peace at the moment. Lexian didn’t say anything from the chair he still sat in.
“Triskix are you listening?” the Leader asked.
I gave the Leader a lethargic look and then closed my eyes. I heard the Leader sigh.
“Did you fix the castle?” I asked hearing my own droned voice.
“I have some of the lesser nobody rebuilding the central tower, but the bottom level is completely demolished, and it will take time to fix. Dam that Xerebus. Dam him,” the Leader said harshly.
“Dam the world,” Lexian answered back. He sounded drained and half asleep.
“Dam all the worlds.”
