Twilight Town

Lucas sat perched ontop of the cloak tower munching on some Sea salt ice cream. He wore an Organization outfit, though no one knew waht that was, they thought they were all gone. Though he personally knew different, do to his keyblade he had very many meetings with them personally. He didn't know why he had personally had to, and he didn't know why he had been chosen to wield it. He sighed softly and put the stick on the side he wasn't sitting on and looked down. He wondered what it'd be like to live a normal life without having to worry about your destiny.

Then again he'd get bored rather easily if he did have a normal life, so he was honestly thinking of why he was complaining seeing as he was having alot more fun taking out shadows and dusks for a living then sitting around working for someone. He sighed softly and leaned back until he fell off the ledge of the clock tower onto the little walk way in between the ledge and the clock itself.

he laid there staring at the clouds as they slowly drifted pass. he wondered, and thought of an excuse to give up and just let his powers fade, so he could hopefully maybe have a day off, though he doubt he'd get that lucky. He didn't know why he had to be one of the wielders and he hated it, really, really hated it.

(Alright for the Nobodies please post at world that never was first then you can come here, please any idea's on other worlds send a pm or in the ooc thank you..)

Ruknix had put his hood up before entering the corridor. It was sort of his way of hiding from Saxra, but also the Organization dictates they be as discreet as possible in all missions. "Wh-whatever you say, woman." He replied after Saxra vanished into the darkness. The corridor opened up at the tram station, which was where the clock tower also was. In fact, the buildings were one and the same. Once he stepped out, he took the time to admire the view. This point was at the top of a hill, and so this point pretty much overlooked the rest of the town. And Ruknix had to admit, it was a pretty nice view.

Ruknix sighed. "Alrighty then, lets get this over with." He perked up his nose. He had a pretty decent sense of smell. He probably couldn't identify individual people like some from the original Organization could, but when it came to finding people, no one in the Organization could compare to Ruknix. "Hm." Ruknix looked up. "I think..." He looked closely at the clock tower. Sure enough, there was a dark silhouette sitting at the top with his legs dangling over the ledge. "Maaaybe we should start there. What think, party girl?" Before she could reply Ruknix sauntered over to the entrance of the tower and quickly headed up.

Saxra looked up to where Ruknix was indicating she didn´t have the same sense of tracking as him but she could see the black uniform contrasting against the white tower ledge, she looked at Ruknix the hood was making it´s job she couldn´t see his face at all, she needed a lot of work only to see his mouth. She was thinking quickly in the best way to get up there when se heard Ruknix talking again "Maaaybe we should start there. What think, party girl?" Saxra closed her eyes, yes better to start in the highest place of the world, if they were wrong they could looked from there for the impostor.

Saxra opened her eyes to look how Ruknix was entering the clock tower she whispered in a low and cold voice "Reckless...". Saxra walked to the entrance of the clock tower and stopped before entering it, she made sure she couldn´t be seen from it´s ceiling and snapped her fingers, a little sphere of darkness appeared at her side and after a moment from it appeared a Dragoon nobody , it stayed in the same place without making a sound just looking at Saxra. Saxra looked up to the ceiling wondering what kind of person was there and if he would be a menace if he was really the impostor, after a moment she looked again at the Dragoon and started talking to it with her usual cold voice.

"Get a group of Dusks and divide them, one group will be ready to stop whatever want to stop us, the other group will help if things go wrong..." Saxra stopped looking at the Dragoon , it was moving it´s head like it was trying to understand what Saxra was saying, Saxra grabbed it´s neck and talked with a colder voice "Did I made myself clear?". Saxra couldn´t say that she saw the Dragoon nodding but it disappeared right away, after that Saxra started heading up, wishing that the number V wouldn´t do anything to reckless.

Ruknix moved insipidly through the building, climbing upwards towards the clock tower. The smell was getting stronger. He traveled through corridors and went up stairwells. The place was almost like a labyrinth were it not for the fact there were signs every here and there.As he got closer he was able to find other things about their 'fan'. For one thing, this fan seemed have a strong heart. A very strong heart indeed...from what he could tell, this person may be a wielder of the key blade. Ruknix knew that this wasn't going to be an easy one. But it was fine. No matter who he fought, they never got close enough to his body anyway.

He reached the top of the tower and opened the door. He stepped outside, being on the opposite side of the clock. Ruknix took a big whiff. "He's close...very close..." He turned the corner, walking slightly more slowly. He turned once more and there lying on the ground, with his legs hanging loosely off the ledge, was the target. Wearing the Organization cloak, just as the leader said. "Hello, hello! You like the view here too?" Ruknix looked out into the town. "This never ending sunset just takes your breath away. The golden colors splashing over the town, in a symphonic harmony in hues of red. Makes me feel...alive..." He turned his attention back to the copy cat. "You know, your a really spunky guy! Wearing our organization's uniform so openly and insolently." He took a step back. "To be honest, I find it flattering. But, well. I'm under orders to take you out. Guess my boss wasn't as impressed." He snapped his fingers, summoning four of his beast nobodies. The beast nobodies were his own special breed of nobodies, who stand on all fours attacking with their fangs. "Sorry guy...but I have to eliminate you. See ya." His nobodies lunged.

Luke looked over calmly and sighed. "I'm not wearing this to flatter you i just decided it be easy to rid the world of worthless space.." He said and stood up tossing off the organization cloak to reveal his normal clothes underneath, the navy blue jacket the left sleeve cut off as he wore a fingerless glove but wore a sleeve that was badly cut and ripped up to his shoulder. His right arm was still covered by the sleeve his jeans black as night with chains dangling here and there. his boots steel plated on the front from the toe to the ties. He smiled softly at the nobody. "Your the one,..who'll be eliminated.." He said as his keyblade appeared in his left hand as he cut through two of the nobodies jumping back to avoid the other two as he winked at the male and fell backwards stabbing the keyblade into the stone as he found his footing on the ledge below and pushed open the window running straight down the stair's towards the exit of the building, though once he got there, he wasn't surprised to find another nobody down there. He groaned to himself and stepped back hiding behind the desk as he knelt down there keyblade at the ready.

He'd be ready to spring at any time, if he needed to, though he doubt he would. If the nobodies were smart they'd realize he wasn't such an easy target, and if they knew that before, they had already signed themselves to the darkness that awaited them after they vanished. He panted softly from all the running he had did but held his breath and waited for something to come towards him.

Salixe sighed. Those two were taking forever. Stepping neatly from the Dark Corridor, the redheaded teenager frowned upon seeing them without the target. She held out her hand imperiously and a flaming crimson blade appeared. "Enough time wasting. Ruknix, Saxra, there has been a change of plans. You are to bring back the imposter alive. Do not RTC until you have him." Her nostrils flared. "Harm him all you want, but he must be alive. No exceptions. If you fail, I will not hesitate to turn you back into Dusks."

Apparently that was all she had to say, for she turned to watch the sunset and said no more. The light fire dancing across her blade vanished, but she still held it. Under her red gaze, the sun seemed to grow and rise. Salixe had a ghost of a smile upon her lips as she waited. She decided she liked this 'Twilight Town' a lot, though not as much as, say, Destiny Islands or Agrabah.

Ruknix sighed. It was Salixe. He hated dealing with her, almost as much as Saxra. But it couldn't be helped. She was an impatient Nobody, and usually dropped by for a visit, barking orders and throwing threats at them like knives and darts. This wasn't the first time the 'dusk' threat was used either. Ooh no. She always used that when she was getting anxious towards the other Nobodies. And she could only do that because she was second in command next to the Superior. And even then, on the rare occasion they did fail a mission, the superior would usually save their hides, saying they were still needed. So all in all, Ruknix wasn't that concerned.

He was impressed however with the keyblade wielder. But he was also perplexed by their new orders. Keep him alive? What could the superior be thinking? It didn't matter. This person was done. He couldn't hide from Ruknix. And when it came down to it, he'd never be able to take out Saxra in close range combat. And if things were to get dicey, Salixe would probably come join in anyway. Three to one, this guy was a cornered rat. The green haired nobody perked his nose again. First floor back of the building...your making this too easy on me guy... He jumped down, and then summoned a couple more beast nobodies. "Whelp, you heard the boss lady Saxra. Let's finish this one quick, shall we?"

"Number V you messed..." Saxra sighed irritated watching how a boy carrying a key like weapon appeared in the lobby from a window and then hiding after watching her, putting the mistake of number V aside Saxra had to give credit to this impostor he was good enough to avoid number V and, if he summoned them, the lesser nobodies under his charge.

Saxra was starting to think that she would just stand there to watch number V dealing with him, when she heard Salixe´s voice throwing new orders at them, one more time they were threat with be turned into Dusks. Well Saxra didn´t care about it she was thinking more in the part of bringing the impostor alive, damaged but alive, that order made Saxra remember what she was saying to number V before, she couldn´t help but smile coldly as she saw number V landing in the first floor "See... I told you he is more than he appears to be."

Saxra snapped her finger making five Dusks appear around her and walked a few steps to her right side covering the few space to escape, the she summoned her scythes without taking her sight from the boy was hiding "You may be rigth, better finish this... now." Saxra pointed to where the guy was making two Dusks jumping to attack there as she took a fighting stance. She was taking it seriously, after all number Two was there showing that the capture was important.

Luke groaned as his grip tightened and a second keyblade appeared as he cut through the dusks with ease hoping onto the desk as he smiled pointing one keyblade at the new nobody and launching a fireball, hoping to catch her off guard as he moved away as he sighed, "boxed in.." he said outloud and then shook his head as he smiled some, his back to the wall would be the best and easiest way to defend himself. A cornered rat is more dangerous then one that has room to run.

He laughed at that thought and just forced himself into the corner, he would await the attack from all of them and then show them what it ment to deal with a dark blader, or what he liked to call himself, he was a threat to most, and sometimes even the living of others, but what did that matter to him. He was in this to end the nothingness.

Luke blinked and watched as another cloaked figure dropped down as he groaned. "You nothings really need to get out of my hair..I'm starting to get angry.." He said and twirled his blades. "Your will, won't hold me, your strength won't defeat me..and you will return to the darkness you came from.." he said and smiled some, "Unlike my predecessors i'm not so forgiving in a fight.." He sad and stabbed one of his keyblades hard into the surface of the ground leaning on it.

His attitude, though some of it was a bluff, most of it was how he truly felt, his anger is what fueled the fires of his soul, and with that anger he won battle after battle against the heartless, as well as the nobodies. "You know..I guess i shouldn't be surprised nothing usual seems to gather around darkness quite often.." He said and smiled. "I'll bring in a few friends as well..." he said and snapped his fingers as three shadow's appeared on the ground, though the thing about these one's were they were Neoshadows. He smiled and waved his hand. "Dispatch of the lower leveled ones leave the ones with more power for me.." he said and the neoshadow's went to work on the Nobodies that had been summoned by their Superiors. "You three aren't the only ones that can summon servants.." He said gripping his keyblades and pulling them free as he got into his stance. "Come at me then oh pure one.."

Saxra raised her eyebrows at the guy´s actions. He was retreating after sending an attack? Well she didn´t care her orders were to capture him alive watching carefully how the fireball was flying to her quickly, Saxra moved her right scythe in front of her making a Dusk move in front of her, but it was more like the Dusk was dragged that it moved willingly to protect her, being destroyed by the fireball thrown by the guy.

Now Saxra was trying to find an opening on the guy, it should be easy if he was cornered the problem was that he had his back covered by the wall so there were few options to attack him, Saxra´s thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of new nobodies, well the true was that it was only one with his weapons, making her grumbled in annoyance “Excellent... now number VII has come too... Three of us to capture one guy? Well he has two of those “Keyblades”...” Saxra looked over her shoulder to the entrance of the tower. Did number Two brought him with her? Well to be honest Saxra didn´t care. The guy was proving why he was to been brought back, it were few, or maybe anyone, that were able to summon heartless and use weapons from the realm of light, she was deciding what to do when she saw number VII enter in action taking care of the shadows.

“Whatever... “ Saxra shrugged and pointed with the scythe in her left hand to the guy as the space where they were fighting looked as if it was getting colder and darker and the atmosphere was starting to get heavier, after a moment a dark sphere appeared between the guy and the nobodies, inside it energy moved without stopping; Saxra looked a final time to her companions they should be able to finish the guy if she miss with her attack, she started concentrating making the sphere spin in the same position quickly.

“You´re not the only one that is eager to fight number VII... Now impostor vanish in the void...” Saxra talked slowly and then smiled with her fake happy smile to the guy while her eyes glared coldly “Gravira!” The sphere started to expand as the atmosphere keep getting heavier, maybe it wasn´t lethal but it would do the trick damaging the guy enough to capture him alive.

Saxra walked a few steps back showing that the sphere wasn´t affecting her, she was impatient to see the outcome of her attack; it was shame that such a powerful spell was also so slow.

"Geez, man." Ruknix sighed. "You too Lomy?" Though he couldn't really blame them either. The man with the two keyblades was truly becoming a handful. What was most perplexing however was that the keyblade master, who were supposedly masters of light, was able to summon powerful heartless at will. There were more questions piling up around this man. Ruknix sighed again when he saw Lominax begin to fight. "And of course you have to use those creepy little toys of yours..." Of course Ruknix wasn't going to be let out of the fun either, as his own beast nobodies began attacking the neoshadows.

“Gravira!” Saxra called out her spell, and suddenly everything got heavier. Ruknix was caught off guard, but he regained his balance again soon. He hadn't gone on a mission with her before, but he heard that Saxra rarely used her powers, usually choosing to just beat the hell out of her opponents instead. But from what he could tell, her spell was big, but very slow, thus impractical in combat. At least alone. "Looks like this'll be over soon, eh?" He focused his powers as well, and raised his arms. "Rise!" Large, wooden roots had risen from the ground of the station, around the graviga spell, completely boxing in the keyblade wielder in his corner, completely open to her spell. "These roots are sturdier than regular roots dude. Not to mention that gravity spell already hinders your strength and movements...it was over the moment you decided to fight against us." He said this as Lominax dispensed the last of the neoshadows. "Just give up, come back with us, and let me have my nap already."

Lucas burst into laughter. "Gravira...Hm, nice and your right it is hindering me but.." He said as he began to spin in a circle as flames began to gather along his keyblades. "Fira!" He called shooting out random huge fireballs, he knew he was going to get caught he might as well cause as much damage as he could, and in time he noticed one of the roots caught flame, even if they were strong. Fire would weaken them enough for him to get through and with a slash of his flaming keyblade he did and he panted heavily, the spell weakened him significantly. "You Nobodies..Wither I'm captured or not..I'll return you to the darkness of creation.." He said as he moved slowly towards The newest of the Nobodies that had joined, and once he got close, he couldn't seem to hold himself up enough to do much leaning on one of his keyblades he raised the other. "Hehe...one last spell for you guys..." He pointed his Keyblade into the air and smiled more. "Thundaga" he called and a several bolts of lightning gathered beginning to strike at random around him.

That was also the last thing he knew, his mind went blank his body; limp, his keyblades vanished as well leaving him on the ground outcold, His mind seemed to wonder into his subconscious and while there he floated in the darkness a deep voice speaking to him. "How was i suppose to know they'd figure out that i'm not as powerful as I seem to act.." He said the voice speaking again to only him. "Yeah well whatever..I'll get them next time"

Talexa charged forward through the barrage, deflecting his magic with her blades, until she was up close to him.
"Fight me!" She cried as she started to slam her energy blades down on Luke.

Saxra looked how the guy escaped from both number´s V and her techniques using a fire magic and then using thunder magic on them, she took a stance watching how some of the thunders were heading towards her very quicky, she smiled codly as the Dusks tried to escape the attack moving from there were "I don´t think so..." Saxra moved her hand in front of her again and the Dusks moved in front of her as if they were shields, again they looked as if they were dragged there. The Dusks disappeared absorbing the attack making Saxra move her scythes quickly stopping the few thunders that were still heading towards her.

Saxra anger was practically boiling after noticing how number VII was trying to finish the impostor now in the floor of the place,
this time she pointed to the guy forcing him to move to where she was, dragging him in the floor, barely escaping from Talexa´s blades before he was hit. Saxra walked a few steps putting herself between number VII and the guy as he still was being dragged now heading towards where number V was. "What are you doing number VII?" Saxra voice sounded forced as if she was smiling and trying to talk at the same time, and she really was, it was good that her face was covered be her hood the smile she was making could be easily misunderstood; number II and number V would surely thought she would kill number VII there "You received orders don´t you? And if not let me repeat them, we are to take this guy to the castle "alive" so stop your attack or else..."

Saxra raised her scythes in a stance facing Talexa, although she knew there would be no battle. Even if number VII decided to continue both of them would be attacked by number II for no following her orders being the highest number present in the place.

((Is no godmodding right? After all he si fainted at the moment so it´s like moving an object, so I´m not wrong... I think))

Ruknix yawned. "Here's a thought. Let's get back to the castle and sleep. We just needed to grab this dude, right?" He stretched, yawning. "Because if that's all, then I'm going back for a well deserved nap." He looked around the ruined train station. There was a crater where the gravira spell was, burnt wood and cracked floors here and there, and scorch marks all over the walls. "So much for subtlety." He then turned to Salixe. "Just wondering though. Did you come here of your own accord, or did master send you here himself?" He stared at the mysterious keyblader. "Because even with all he could do, sending the top four members is a bit overkill, hm?" Under the superior, and despite their numbers, they ranked from highest to lowest, Salixe, Saxra, Lominax, then Ruknix. They were the organizations top members in terms of combat, capture, and assassination. For all of them to be sent here to capture this one man. "Your closest to the superior, boss lady. So tell us. What are his plans with the boy?"

Saxra sighed without lowering her scythes, to her number VII could snap at any moment so it was the best to keep an eye on him, then she turned her head when she heard number V talking about subtlety, he was more than right the whole station end damaged in a way that it would be obvious that something happened there, Saxra lowered her head thinking how would they transport the impostor when she heard number V asking questions to number II.

"I wouldn´t question her... unless you want more orders as answers." Saxra shrugged like answering herself and walked towards the guy stopping at his side "So... number II, want to take him yourself or we go together?"

Ruknix listened intently. "Hm. Figures." It's not that she was worried...she just didn't trust us. And Lominax... He had no clue what was up with this guy. He was surprised he was even one of the higher ranking members at all going off doing his own thing...he sighed. Ruknix had to remind himself that he was also a higher up. That meant responsibilities. Something he didn't particularly care for.

"You'd better fix this mess you have made, Ruknix. Subletly is a concept we need to uphold." Salixe ordered.

"That's what I'm saying! But these two go off and-- wait what...?" Ruknix had just stood there blankly for a few moments to register what had just happened.

Salixe continued without really listening to him. "The Superior plans to maximize his power and obtain a goal. That is all that is not classified information."

Ruknix stuttered. "Th-that's all well and good, but what was this about me cleaning this up?" Salixe entered the corridor to darkness without answering his question. "W-wait! Salixe?!" It was too late. She was gone. Saxra was right. More questions ended up with more orders. He turned to Saxra. He then cuddled up to her, very pleadingly and desperately. "Heeeey there, party girl." He said sweetly. "You wouldn't mind helping me with all this...right?"

"Yeah I will help you..." Sxara turned watching to the clock tower, missing the chance to see if Ruknix reacted to her answer or not "After all I destroyed this place too, If I return now I can see number II chasing me to do a cleaning job... again." Saxra walked away from Ruknix to the interior of the tower watching at all the details she could holding tight her scythes, they really overdid it.

“Consider yourself lucky” Saxra raised her scythes at the same height as her chest not talking at someone specifically “Is strange when I use the power of my element for something." After a moment Saxra lowered her scythes pointing with the right one to the crater that her gravira left, a little white sphere appeared above it falling slowly to the floor, it took a few seconds to the sphere to reach the ground and expand on it, if someone watched above the scene would be able to see a mark that resembled a clock without a minute and hour hand as big as the clock tower itself.

Saxra pointed to the ceiling whispering some words without stopping, as she talked one could see the tower changing: the craked floors recovering their original form, little pieces of wood appearing covering the crater and little pieces of glasses flying to where they belong. After a moment the tower looked as if it was new, just with the burned wood in the floor and the marks of scorch on it´s walls. "There number V, I clean the most bothersome thing for you." Saxra turned to Ruknix pointing him with her left scythe behind him a corridor of darkness appear, then she walked towards it stopping at Ruknix´s side talking with her usual cold tine stopping the unavoidable question "Time number V... is a lost magic that no ones uses anymore, maybe because no one can travel in it... just playing with some aspects"

Saxra continue walking without saying anything more entering her corridor while dismissing her scythes, after some minutes of walking she appeared at the ceiling of the Memory´s Skycrape, she sat in her usual place watching below her at the groups of nobodies fighting with the heartless. "Well number II coming in the scene was a good thing... I don´t have to return to the castle to report being the highest number present, she may be harsh on us, but she would never hide our names in a report."


((Yeah believe or not both magics are related, and FinalFan my chara´s name is Saxra no Salixe.))

Ruknix smirked. "Thanks thanks, party girl!" He watched as Lominax left, leaving Ruknix to witness Saxra's incredible magic. Truly, time magic was a powerful, forbidden magic. This was why Saxra was feared so. He never witnessed it himself, but he had heard stories of her destroying whole armies of heartless with her space/time magic.

He reads stories from the archives about how the old Organization's number X was also a time user. But what he read was nothing compared to what he just saw. Everything was returning back to the way it was before the fight. Windows were fixing themselves. Floors were being repaired. Nothing was left broken. Once she was finished, she opened a corridor and walked through it, leaving him to fix up whatever burns and ashes were left in the tower.

"Right..." He mumbled. "Guess I better get started." Though being a janitor was definitely not in the job description, he knew he had to do it or else Salixe would flambe him alive. She didn't like to be disobeyed much.

Finishing up his cleaning duties in the clock tower, Ruknix stepped outside to take in the sights. Ruknix was a bit irritated. This beautiful sunset... His mind wandered. I used to love watching these...they used to comfort me so much before... He shook his head. He also wanted a nap real bad. He scratched his head. "Welp, guess it's time to RTC..."

Suddenly a sorcerer nobody had materialized in front of him. "Gah!" Ruknix yelped, seriously surprised by it's presence. He didn't like dealing with these particular nobodies, as their presence usually meant orders from Salixe, Saxra, or the superior. Sure enough, he projected a holographic message from Saxra ordering him to return to the castle and help fend off a horde of heartless trying to infiltrate their base. "Heartless?" He breathed out. "What is such a large group doing there?" Of course his second thought was, "That's waaay too much work for a simple guy like me..." He then had an idea. He remembered the superior sent number IV on a recon mission in Agrabah today, and he should have finished up by now.

He knew Ginxus, the organization's sniper, would've made a better support anyway. He wielded a large bow and arrow that could hit anything from miles away. A mid ranged fighter like Ruknix probably wouldn't have won against him in a fight were it not for the fact that the man had a bit of a temper problem, and the fact he wasn't very powerful in the first place. But for the intents and purposes of this situation, he felt he could use his authority to send him instead to handle the heartless. He turned to the sorcerer nobody. "Alright, tell Saxra and Salixe that I'm still busy here in Twilight town. But first, head over to number IV and tell him that he's needed to help take care of the heartless at the castle. He should have finished his recon by now anyway..." Shoeing the nobody away, the sorcerer bowed and vanished.

"Well, if I can't RTC, then I'll just relax here." Ruknix climbed the stairs up to the top of the clock tower and laid back. "Ahh, now I know why that guy came here..." He said. "It's soooo relaxing..." Ruknix smiled as he drifted off into his nap.

(Number four is an NPC me and Saxra made since we didn't have many members when we first started. It's only now that I gave him a weapon and name.)

Salixe sent up a huge pillar of light, engulfing all Heartless in a 10-foot diameter around her. She was left standing alone, surrounded by glowing pink hearts floating up to land on Memory's Skyscraper. It was useless fighting them. Number II sent away one of her swords and returned to the fray, only giving half of what was not even a quarter of her effort before. As she passed Saxra, her monotone voice stated "Ginxus, Number IV. Hold your post for a moment." With one last fire-elongated sweep of her sword, she stepped into a Corridor of Darkness and into the setting sun of Twilight Town.

Life seemed to be breathed into her as she saw the sun, but she paid no heed. In one swift motion, she grabbed the lazy Nobody by his collar and lifted him up against the wall, a good two feet off the ground. Her hood moved back slightly to show her impassive golden eyes, showing a bit of anger - or dislike. He had been sleeping. Again. "Ruknix. I am going to count to ten and by that time you will either be over at Memory's Skyscraper and have a Heartless kill of 20 minimum, or you will be less that a Dusk and more of a blob on the floor. Do you understand?" The girl, much to old for her actual age, released him swiftly. "I should let you know my counting isn't what it used to be. One, two...seven, eight, nine, ten."
