Snippet #768885

Virixus appeared in the entirely white dining hall via his corridor of darkness to find the other organization members sitting around waiting for him. "Ah excellent, you're all here. How are you all doing this evening?" he asked politely, but the room was silent. He shook his head and sighed. "What, I can't even get a hello?" he asked rather quietly more addressing himself then his guild mates. "I've just spoken with Neoxis; as it turns out, we have more work to do in Radiant Garden. He has given us the go-ahead to ... well, go ahead. When you arrive there, there will be several small robotic devices hidden throughout the city. I want you to seek them out and destroy them. Now that doesn't sound too hard, does it? I'm certain it is a task even deadbeats such as yourselves can handle." And with that, Virixus disappeared into the shadows again. As he came to the other side of the corridor of darkness he had been travelling down, he overheard voices talking, some familiar, and some not so familiar.

"Is that everything we need to do done here? I think that's this place safe, right?"

"Not quite." Virixus spoke, appearing in the Radiant Garden meeting hall at the same time. He was once again in front of Leon, Yuffie, and the others as well as the new keyblader Nagare, and yet another new keyblader.

"Hm, your numbers seem to be growing rather quickly, Leon."

"Oh great, it's THIS butthead again..!" Yuffie chimed in.

Virixus turned his attention toward the new keyblader, knowing it must have been him who spoke as he was the only unrecognized person in the room, to match the unrecognized voice. "No, my little keyblader, I'm afraid this place is not safe. In fact, if I were you, I would get out of here as quick as possible..."

"What are you on about?" Merlin inquired.

"The condemned are on their way to this world at this very moment... they will be here soon." he spoke with an appealing tune in the back of his voice.

"WHAT!?" most of the room exclaimed in unison.

"Mmhm... if you think we're a pain, wait till you get a load of them... and they aren't going to take it easy on you guys like us; they have feelings behind those nonexistent faces!"

"Wh-what do we do!?" Cid asked desperately, turning to Leon.

"I told you, your best bet would be to leave."

"And just leave everybody here? We can't do that!" Cid replied.

"And like we would ever take advice from you!!!!" Yuffie added.

"Fine then, don't listen to me. They've already gone and destroyed your little robot protection things.." Virixus nonchalantly gestured with his hand, as if surveying his nails if it weren't for his black gloves. "Hmmm I think, while I'm here, I may as well stay and enjoy the show. I better find myself a good seat..." Virixus yet again disappeared through the corridors of darkness, reappearing in the heart of Hollow Bastion. He approached the main computer hub and inspected it intently. "Hm I wonder what this does..." Holding a hand outstretched, his pendulum appeared and fell into his palm. Allowing the silver charm to hang from the long chain, he began swirling it entrancingly, gradually distorting the space around him with each stroke the pendulum made, back and forth. Suddenly, about 15 more Virixuses appeared and stood obediently before their master. "Search the entire place... find whatever computers you can, and destroy them." he commanded with a powerful voice. Each illusion then swiftly made its way out of the room in search of their target. Virixus then re-approached the main computer and stared at it blankly for a few minutes, and then smiled mischievously. "Well let's see what this does." he began typing all sorts of nonsense codes in and smashing his hands on the keys here and there.
