Kingdom Hearts: Afterwar (Started, Accepting via PM)

[Magnet Soldier]

"Hm, impressive. And he is a Nobody by the look of it. I will finally get a challange" Kurix muttered to himself. He walked in the room and the remaining dusks vanished. "Hello there, I am the new leader of organisation XIII and I would like you to join us. We have a space missing as number X I think it was. If you do not accept I will tell you some thing. I am Kurix, nobody of riku. I have a keyblade and utter control over darkness. I will destroy you if you fight me." Kurix then waited for a reply.

 

OOC: Remember I am the leader of Organisation XIII. I am powerful.

[Christian Exodia]

"My purpose is not just to find my own heart, but find my lost friend's soul. I will join, if I can know of the other members. I know of few old memories, but it's because she told me right after my heart was ripped out. I am now Ranyx, number X of Organization XIII." He told Kurix. "Let me retrieve my things."

[Magnet Soldier]

"Thank you, we will be as happy as we can even though we have no heart to have you on our team. We are still trying to rebuild after the damned sora and gang destroyed us. Still we lost Xemnas, our greatest hold back." Kurix said with an obviously fake smile. "There will be a meeting in about half an hour." Then he dissappeared into darkness and reappeared on Sunset hill. "Did you not hear me You two. Haxon, Croidxx. We have a meeting in half an hour, get everyone you can there. Now go!" Kurix ordered before fading back into darkness.

[Christian Exodia]

"Yeah. Do I resemble any old member?" Ranyx asks. Then disappears to get his things, then appears in his room, his new room. Then appearsin the meeting room, in the right chair somehow on the first try.

[Magnet Soldier]

OOC: I'm Turning off now.

[Christian Exodia]

Ranyx takes a nap waiting for the meeting. He dreams of the girl he knew after his own elimination. His name changing, the need to leave. Their last words, the kiss. Him disappearing, & appearing on Castle Bastion. He knew he couldn't go back, but tried.

[Hydra of Ages]

Croixidxx gestured again as he heard two more 'twangs' from the darkness, again two more of the Nobody knives pinning the arrows to the trees. He briefly raised an eyebrow as the arrows were consumed by Darkness and shaped into small Shadow heartless, but gestured again with a flick of his hand as a few more Sparrow Nobodies (though lacking the vibrant red tail of his pet, who was still circling him protectively) appeared out of thin air, and charged at the Purebloods. There was a bit of a flurry of tweeting, and the bladed birds made short work of the Heartless.

 

Croisidxx sighed. "Well, I guess this won't be the relaxing day I thought it would be." he muttered. "Haxon, you wouldn't mind lending a hand would you?"

 

-

 

Red sighed. "Well, I guess you're looking after the Nobodies and I'm on Unversed duty. Yippe?" she said skeptically, sighing. "Well, first things first, I'd like to find out exactly where these Unversed are located... do they even have a co-ordinated group? I just assumed they were like the lesser heartless, disorganized and attacking anything that comes near them...."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

A dark portal opened up, and Lominax, accompanied by two other people in black cloaks, walked up to Kurix.

"I received your summons, and I have arrived, as you requested. As you probably already know, I am Lominax, current Lord of Castle Oblivion."

[Guest Tainted Black]

Black grew boreds of the petty complete beings. Most of them had no power, at all. Only a few could even fight.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

Vaen approached the top of Station Square just as the bells started to ring, where Norixa was waiting, eating sea-salt ice-cream as she sat just above the clock, watching the scenery. She appeared to now have a small, orange hairband with a long orange string that extended to her waist, and her pants now had some sort of white, cross-like symbol, but the bottom had part of a heart. She also had on a pair of metallic-looking bracelets around her wrists that had a single, large spike, and a strange device on her left arm that looked like it could shoot out a large, bladed disk.

"This stuff is pretty good." she commented. "I have another one if you want one."

"Yes, please."

"Good. You're going to need the sugar where we're going."

Vaen sat down next to Norixa. Even just a couple of feet aay from the strange Nobody woman, he still couldn't see any eyes.

"I know why you can't find my eyes, right? It's because I currently don't have any. Most Nobodies don't have eyes, or noses, or even fingers. They just use something called the 'Sense', a sort of telepathic sixth sense, if you will. Heartless and Unversed also use this Sense to find hearts or their enemies, like we do, but Nobodies don't pursue after hearts, at least, some of us don't."

"What do you mean?" Vaen asked.

"There is a group among us Nobodies called 'Organization XIII', which seeks to open up 'Kingdom Hearts', which is the heart of hearts, and therefore the heart of everything. Some say that Kingdom Hearts is what the Heartless are truly after, other say that Kingdom Hearts is protected by a darkness so great that not even Heartless can penetrate it, and that if Kingdom Hearts was unlocked, it would consume everything that is good in the universe."

"The Organization believes that Kingdom Hearts will restore their hearts, making them whole again, but the leader of the Organization, Xemnas, was using the group to achieve his won goals of universal domination."

"I used to work for the Organization, being a partner to Demyx, who was the master of all Dancers..."

Norixa seemed to stare off into space for a second, before returning to the task at hand.

"Sorry about that. We need to go. We have work to do."

"Which is?"

"Making you a Keyblade Master!"

Norixa handed Vaen her black cloak.

"Put it on. Don't worry. It's one size fits all. You'll need it since we're taking a bit of a dangerous shortcut."

Vaen put on the cloak, which shrunk to his size, as Noriza summoned a black and purple, oval-shaped portal that seemed to be...evil...

"This is the opening to a Corridor of Darkness. Such openings exist all over the known universe, and can be used by Heartless or Nobodies to travel in between worlds. They are quick, but it is easy to get lost if you don't know the route, and, since it's made of Darkness, it can possibly corrupt anyone who stays for too long. Fortunately, I'm a Nobody, so I don't have a heart to corrupt, and you have on that black cloak, which blocks out most of the effects of the Corridor."

Just as Vaen yelled "What do you mean by MOST of the effects?!?", Norixa grabbed Vaen, pulled the hood over his head, and yanked him into the swirling vortex, which closed behind them.

[Guest Merciful Idiot]

Zarosis, getting annoyed, continuously shot thousands of dark arrows. The same kind used as before. This time, most of them were aimed at Croixidxx while there were some still aimed at Haxon.

"This is just getting annoying, right about now."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

After some time of holding onto Norixa's hand while walking through complete darkness, they emerged into a biting cold duststorm.

"Where are we?!?" Vaen yelled as the dust rippled around him.

"Look up!" Norixa yelled back as the storm subsided.

Vaen saw that there was all sorts of junk in piles around him, all of it in varying shades of brown and red from decay and ruin. In the distance was what was left of the shells of skyscrapers, as well as towers that looked like they were made out of junk. The sun was barely visible, and the entire sky was covered in muddy-brown clouds.

"Once again, where are we?" Vaen asked as he shivered.

"Welcome to Desolated Earth, a world that has been on its deathbed for centuries." Norixa replied as she started forward through a path through the junk piles.

Vaen whipped a parka out of the backpack he had brought with him, but saw that Norixa didn't need one.

"Aren't you cold?" Vaen asked her as he caught up to her.

Norixa stopped.

"Touch my chest."

"What?!?"

"You heard me. Feel my chest. I won't really mind."

Vaen hesitantly placed his fingers where Norixa's belly button should be, but instead of the normal texture of skin, Norixa's skin was hairless and smooth, but had a seemingly artificial feel to it, like it was made out of latex or rubber.

"Nobodies that aren't completely human-looking, like me, usually have some sort of covering over their entire body. For example, Dusks have their suits, Samurai have their armor, and Dancers have this skin. We can still feel pain, but it is greatly dulled, as long as it doesn't cut us. Currently, my hair is the only truly organic part of me, at least, until I Shed."

"Shed?"

"Shedding is what happens when a high-ranking Nobody gets powerful enough to become much more human-looking. It's usually represented by physical changes that cause us to become much more individual-looking, like I am right now. I just need a bit more power, and the next phase of the Shedding."

Norixa then turned around.

"Check my back, where my spine should be."

Vaen traced his finger along Norixa's spine to find...

"A seam?"

"Very faint, but every Nobody appears to have either a seam or zippers or some way to get out of our current attire. Of course, we can't until we start Shedding, but there is always some way for us to escape this form."

"Once I get a bit stronger, that seam will fully materialize, and I will start disconnecting from my current skin. Then, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, I will emerge looking completely human."

"But you'll still be a Nobody." Vaen countered.

"At least I won't look like one." Norixa snapped before spying something.

"You see that shiny thing down there? Pick it up."

Vaen ran over to pick up what looked like a piece of yellow jello.

"That's a Gummi Block, something that we need to find on this world if you don't want to travel by Corridors of Darkness anymore."

Vaen quickly started searching frantically for Gummi Blocks while Norixa looked on, smiling.

 

((I'll give a rep to the first person who tells me what Disney movie Desolate Earth is based off of.))

[Christian Exodia]

(Return to Witch Mountain?)

Ranyx awoke. "MEETING TIME!" He yelled throughout the Castle. He jumps back to his chair, & thinks, "Will I survive this mayhem & bring her to life?"

 

He just slumps to his chair arm & thinks about the memories he was told of 5 years ago.

[Guest Tainted Black]

((WALL-E!!!!!!))

 

Black finally finished his design. He looked at the Heartless he had created, and it came to life. He laughed. Granted, this was a shell, nothing in it, but it was a basis. A prototype. "PErfect." He grinned. "Time to find out what the others are doing." He snapped, and the giant Bat heartless faded. HE opened a portal, and proceeded to follow Cero.

[Scyire]

"Well, Croixidxx, it seems as if I have no choice. Such as a Heartless to ruin this fantastic sunset."

 

Haxon reveals his halberds, and charges at the Heartless threat, continuously dodging the thousands of arrows flying towards him.

 

He got close enough to see the Heartless' face. He had seen it before. This was not a run-of-the-mill Heartless.

[Hydra of Ages]

Croixidxx sighed. "Indeed." he muttered as the mass of arrows approached him. He flicked both palms, a white knife appearing in either, as a burst of air enveloped him, an innumerable amount of small daggers appear out of the nothingness and knocking the arrows out of the air, none coming even close to the Nobody.

 

He cocked his head and his pet, still cawing in the air, flicked his magnificent red tail. There was a brief pause before a flock of Sparrow Noise descended from nowhere, bladed wings and beaks flashing, as they killed the Pureblood Heartless that erupted from each arrow.

 

"So very like a Heartless..." Croixidxx sighed.

[White Hollow]

OOC: WHY DON'T YOU NOTICE ME?

[Magnet Soldier]

"Lominax, My dear friend, I didn't summon you. Sorry for your troubles. Did you have some buisiness with me though? Well we do have a meeting so you are welcome to stay." Kurix said with a nod. He sat down into an armchair. "So stressing isn't it, being a leader?" He looked out of the window at the empty shell that once was kingdom hearts. "I know it is not our goal but it is beautiful, the beautifullest moon you could ever see."

[Guest TheFinalFan]

((Black got it right.))

 

"Yes, but members of my group still shudder at the mention of your faction, and frankly, we are all tired from the constant fighting. We want peace from the Heartless, and that is why we are embarking on an exodus to find a peaceful world and settle there."

"Would you help us locate such a world?"

 

Meanwhile, Vaen and Norixa had collected a massive amount of gummi blocks.

"We've got enough to make an entire fleet out of!" Norixa proclaimed to a very tired Vaen.

"Yeah, but how do we put them together?"

"Hmm...you have a point. We don't have that many Gummis that could be used to actually build a ship, but maybe, if we could modify a pre-existing ship..."

A crashing noise interrupted Norixa as Vaen prepared for something that seemed to be coming towards them.

A shadow started to come around a nearby junk pile, and Vaen got ready to run...

...until a small, yellow robot rolled in.

"Norrriixxxa!"

"WALL-E!" Norixa cried out. "You scared me senseless!"

The poor robot seemed to sulk until Norixa gave him a hug.

"So, what did you find today?"

WALL-E pulled a necklace out of a compartment on his front.

"Aww! Thanks, WALL-E!"

WALL-E then returned to looking around for different things, before spotting Vaen.

"Ahh!"

The robot was startled by the young man, and quickly retracted into a cube-like position.

"WALL-E, come out! He's just a friend!"

Norixa turned to Vaen.

"He's shy. He had the same reaction upon meeting me, in fact. He went into a sleep mode and wouldn't come out of it for days! I managed to be careful, but he kept being very cautious, until, a few days later, he went over a decayed stretch of interstate and fell. He was trapped underneath the rubble, and couldn't free himself! I managed to get him out, and we've been friends ever since."

"Why didn't another robot help him out?"

Norixa seemed a bit sad.

"While we wait for WALL-E to get out of hiding, let me show you something."

She took the young man around a few piles of junk to see a clearing where several robots that looked exactly like WALL-E lay, in varying states of disarray and disrepair.

"A long time ago, the humans who live on this world built up so much and used so much that they covered their planet in trash. The company that controlled most of the planet, Buy n Large, built Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-class robots. But over time, they have all shut down, leaving our WALL-E the only one left to clean up the planet."

"I was the first living thing WALL-E has seen in countless years, and now your the second."

WALL-E was now behind Vaen, extending it's robotic left arm.

"Frrenndd?"

Vaen shook the robot's hand.

"Friend."

[Guest Merciful Idiot]

As soon as Haxon saw Zarosis's face, he took his Keyblade and swung it at Haxon.

 

-------

 

Gilvin Rarom, after sending some more Unversed, disappeared into the darkness. He reappeared in another place where Nobodies and Heartless, led by Darksides and Twilight Thorns, were still having war. He summoned Unversed to deal them while he personally went to deal with the weak-minded leaders.

[Guest TheFinalFan]

((Anyone is welcome to pop in on Norixa and Vaen, just not unexpectedly.))

 

Vaen and Norixa were now at WALL-E's truck, which he had converted into a sort of home, filled with Christmas lights, trinkets, knicknacks, and spare parts. But on top of the truck was a ovular white floating thing that faintly resembled an iPod.

"WALL-E, what's that on your truck?"

"Eeeevah!" WALL-E replied.

"Eva?"

WALL-E rotated the object to show a blank, ovular screen on its top.

"Eeeevah!"

"I think it's called 'Eva'." Vaen whispered to Norixa.

Eva seemed to have a strange icon on her chest, which looked like the green outline of a leaf. WALL-E starts to fiddle around with Eva, until he just gives up and leaves.

But then, a rumble starts up as a large ship lands near WALL-E's truck and starts to take Eva away.

WALL-E frantically tries to retrieve Eva, crying her name as he rushes to the ship. Norixa and Vaen run after him, and all three manage to grab on as the ship takes off.

"Shell!" Norixa cries as a bubble made out of golden hexagons surrounds the hard point she and Vaen are holding on, but, as they hit the satellite shell around Earth, a satellite hits the two, causing them to let go of the racing probe, and drift off into space...

[Magnet Soldier]

"Wait, you have some people scared of the Organisation? Why? Xemnas is dead along with every other formor member of the organisation. And now the Organisation is a group of Nobodys that want hearts without taking them from innocents. Kingdom Hearts will eventually fix itself but we wont use that, it's too dangerous. However I get the feling there are some in the Org that want to. Anyway, a Peaceful world. You live in it. The castle Oblivionis probably the peacefullest world there is but I will help you to find one, even if it is in vain. But now that is two you owe me." Kurix chuckled. He stood up again. "Sorry I have a meeting." And he vanished. He reappeared in his chair and noticed that there was only one person, Ranyx. "That's the problem now. Noone listens. There probably fighting." Kurix vanished again, landing on sunset hill, facing the two Nobodys Haxon and Croidxx as well as the Heartless Zarosis. "Now now, calm down. We have a meeting now so I will helpyou defeat this guy then get everyone to that meeting. Now who's this guy?" Kurix said, turning to Zarosis. He drew his souleater keyblade.

[Guest Merciful Idiot]

Zarosis, now being completely outnumbered and it seemed odds were against him, suddenly vanished. But not before another 10 arrows were shot from nowhere into....a wall. The 10 arrows were consumed by darkness and then the darkness fused with each other and took on the form of a Darkside twice as big as normal. Zarosis, on the other hand, appeared somewhere else, in End of the World.

[Magnet Soldier]

"A darkside, how original. You two get to the meeting and dont bother about this Darkside. Infact where is the Darkside." He joked as the Giant heartless collapsed in a tower of flames. "Glad I learnt Firagun. Very useful. Sadly I've only got the one. Blizzagun and thundagun have not been mastered yet." Kurix then walked through another corridor of darkness, the eighth that day. He arrived back at the castle's meeting room and waited for the other members of the Organisation to arrive.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Lominax followed him.

"Yes, but, since you are new, you are unpredictable. They don't know whether the Organization has simply exchanged one tyrant for another. And they don't want to fight against Heartless anymore."

"Have you not noticed that Heartless seem to be gathering in larger numbers? In fact, the number of Heartless out there is growing exponentially! And even worse is the return of a threat to the universe thought to be long extinct: the Unversed! Heartless and Unversed are clashing, and they are tearing worlds apart!"

"We have reason to believe that there are leaders on both sides, making this not just an outbreak."

"This is a war."

 

Norixa and Vaen, now unconscious, drifted just above the satellite shell, protected by their golden bubble.

"Vaen, I'm...I'm not sure how to say this, but...damn it! Who am I kidding? I'm talking to a knocked-out kid! Well then, I guess it won't hurt. Well...we're not looking good, kid. I can't hold up the Shell much longer, and that's the only thing keeping in the air. If I disengage this shell, we'll have 30 seconds before...you meet a very untimely death. I won't, since I can stay sealed up, and breathing isn't a concern anymore for my body, but...I will eventually re-enter the atmosphere, and not much magic can withstand that..."

She then turned outwards and opened her arms out to the stars.

"Whatever is out there, listen to me! I have never asked for much in my life, but I need a miracle! Please, if there is any chance of us surviving, give us a sign!"

Just then, she Sensed something behind her.

Something big.

She turned around, where her Sense was stronger, to "see" a massive red spaceship just above the satellite shell, with a visible airlock just a few hundred feet away.

"Alright! Vaen, if you can hear me, there's a spaceship nearby! I need to cover your eyes and mouth for a bit so I can get us close enough."

She quickly grabbed the boy and smothered his face into her chest, holding him tightly with one arm as she prepared to doublecast.

"Magnega!" she cried as the shell dropped.

The spell she had sent out attracted them towards the ship.

She righted herself as they approached the airlock, and left Vaen for a second to Thundara the circuits.

She quickly cupped her hands to her mouth, opened her mouth to create enough oxygen to make a sound, and yelled "Thundara!"

The airlock short-circuited, and opened up, allowing Norixa to drag Vaen inside and activate the airlock from the inside, closing it and allowing air to pump in.

This caused Vaen to wake up violently as he gasped for air.

"What...just...happened?" he wheezed.

"We're on a ship." Norixa replied. "The Ragnarok from what I could see of the outside decals."
