I had conceded to help Marlex...the advantage was I was able to get out of that Oblivion...if only for a little while. There was so much going through my mind. Freeing Verex...the argument with Triskix...coming up with a counterattack against Xraktos. Somewhere inside...it was telling me he would not be so easily "dealt with"...my intuition was screaming at me...something had changed. I was yet to discover what though.
We stood before Abyss, figuring this would be the place he'd be taken, slowly I scanned the outside...just trying to sense Anamx's energy signature.
"Anything RaXi...?" Marlex muttered beside me. He seemed a little antsy.
I side-glared at him, then returned my attention to the immense fortress. This place...it was so hard to read...there were definite presences within...but just like the inside they were jumbled and confused...I would have to be closer. Sighing I turned and looked Marlex square in the eye. "Take me inside, I have concealed my energy, so I won't be sensed...but I need to be closer."
"Understood." Marlex acknowledged, immediately opening a portal. We entered in a secluded hallway, I walked to the wall and placed my palm flat on it's surface.
"Nothing...nothing....there's nothing...." I mumbled. "I don't sense Anamx here...not a single trace. It feels like...there aren't many presences here...most of the ones that ARE here...are fairly weak...except for...one...no....two...."
"Two..."
"An energy I haven't confronted before...and this is my third time in Abyss now..." I continued mumbling...more to myself. "Xerebus isn't one of them...he's not here. But this presence is approaching...I feel it would be quite interesting..." I smirked.
"Interesting? What?"
"To FIGHT this presence...they are of the ice....yessss....I could quite....enjoy...." Gasping I stopped my sentence. Clasping my head I shook off my rising adrenaline. Damn you...this isn't the time... How she loved battle...but no...I could not do this now.
Marlex was gazing at me through narrowed eyes. "....ummm"
"He's not here. We have to try somewhere else...I suggest we leave quickly...like I said...the presence is approaching." I stated quietly and flatly.
Steps could be heard in the hall, and we pulled close to the shadows. A short girl emerged at the end...pink hair, the underside of it black. She walked straight up to the nearest door and banged hard.
"Fenrex you pranking layabout! Get out here! You know we were summoned!" She shouted.
"Siluxsce...you're so lame..." The man from inside mumbled as he came out.
I felt my blood pumping just looking at the girl...she was the ice user. I wanted to fight her...to destroy her...I clenched my fists tightly. And then, I calmed down...I felt Marlex's hand on my shoulder. He opened a portal and the pair walking down the hall stopped for a moment. We slowly backed into the portal he created, my eyes never leaving the girl who slowly turned around...but not in time to see us...we were gone.
I opened my eyes on the other side of the portal...to a familiar site. A place I almost loathed...the site of my greatest failure. The mansion at Twilight Town.
"Why...in....the worlds..." I began.
"Because...this is a place where they STILL like to experiment. There was a room in here where...Anamx he....he liked the pictures on the walls. He used to draw in there too...just like Namine..." Marlex spoke.
I gave him a somewhat sympathetic glance. "We will get the child back. Anamx is stronger than he looks...he'll be just fine." I consoled placing my hand on his shoulder. "Well then...let's investigate shall we?"
With that, I began the walk to the front door...yet part of me was seeing scenes from the past...Roxas walking forward...on his way to become one with Sora...
