Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"There's is... something wrong with the body that none of us are sure about. Audri just put down that Altessa can't go into it because of some type of tampering she just did.." Blood said as he put the piece of paper on top of the glass coffin.

"What type of tampering are we talking about?" Xander asked questionably as Blood rolled his eyes before going back and rolling another cart out with a sheet on it. "Well, this was supposed to be a suprise, but she made another body and stole all of Altessa's organs," Blood said as he lifted the top sheet off to show Rauxdi was lying there, sleeping peacefully. Rauxdi looked down at her new body before falling backwards and fainting.

"Wow, Rauxdi really knows how to react to surprises," Xander said looked back at the stunned Nobody on the girl as Riri walked over at his side, "Did you lose your body as well Xander to be stuck in here?" "No, I came in Audri's mind by my own will so I can protect Rauxdi after Andre told me that she was here. I'm still in my own shell, and I'm thankful for that," Xander said with a smile on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sweet, she needs to branch out more," Hatter cackled as young Audri put the pistol down before grabbing a pair of nunchuks. "These are fun!" The girl giggled swinging them around before she bopped herself on the head as it swung to hit her head.

 

"Well, maybe she's expecting up to go find her or something," Xander said as he crouched down to Rauxdi before slapping her across the face a couple of times.
"Rgh, damn idiot," the Nobody snapped her eyes and punched Xander in the stomach before she got back on her feet. "Ugh, that hurts like hell you rat," Xander growled as Rauxdi just giggled.

"So, where could we start first? I mean, come on. Where could that evil bitch be hiding herself?" Scarlett said as Riri sat down and sighed. The fox girl glanced over to see the peacock was acting odd as it was looking at the door. "Um, guys?" Riri said catching Ace and Scarlett's attention as the peacock started flapping its rings and flying at the door.

Riri got up to her feet before she went and opened the door. She stepped out in the hallway before she saw a blue blur run past the door. "What the hell?!" Riri jumped back inside from being trampled over. "You'll never catch me~!!" Altessa voice screamed as she ran past the door before disappearing again.

"Agh, stupid hag is taunting us!" Andre snapped as he went by the door. Andre was about to close the door, but Altessa came back and jump kicked him to the face, making him fly back across the floor. She laughed insanely before she make a run down the left side of the hallway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'll be careful," Little Audri giggled before the Hatter looked at her sweatdropping, "Don't hurt yourself little fool..."

 

"Well, remember that plan I had earlier?" Andre said looking at everyone there. "Yeah, about Xander turning into Justis?" Rauxdi asked as Andre nodded. "Screw the plan. Let's just go kick her ass," Andre sighed as he ran after Kinta. "W-wait up!" Scarlett said dragging Ace with her out the door.

Riri was about to go before Xander piped up, "What the hell should I do, and what about Xenlo? He's still outcold!" "Umm, I think you two should stay here, just in case. Come on Rauxdi, let's hurry up!" Riri said as the Nobody girl followed her out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"AHAHAHA, ISN'T THIS FUN~??" Altessa screeched as she flew down the hallway glancing back seeing Kinta following her.

"HEY KINNY! BEFORE YOU TRY TO DESTROY ME, DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHY YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS SOOO DEPRESSSED LATELLLY???" Altessa shouted as she found her way back at the middle of the 4 way fork where the 3 doors were. The door to where Audri was nailed to the tree was closed at the moment, but Altessa was going to fix that soon enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, don't lose your pom pom Monty!" Hatter laughed as she picked up little Audri and went over to pick up the moogle. "I'll clean this up later," The woman sweatdropped seeing the guns, swords, and other various weapons lying on the floor. "Wet's goo!" Little Audri shouted as she climbed onto Hatter's shoulders as they made their way to the door.

 

"Um, I think I do," Xander said as he pulled out a deck of cards from his pocket before Blood sweatdropped, "How can you think about playing cards at a time like this?!"

"Don't bother with them Blood. Just... help me roll these bodies back to the corner over there," Rose mumbled as she grabbed Altessa's coffin and pulled in back to where Blood had gotten the bodies from. "Y.. Yes ma'm," Blood muttered as he rolled Rauxdi's body over there as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Altessa was jumping around the room, but she eventually found herself in front of the vine-covered doors. "Close, but no cigar! She has been down because of you. It's like she was.... what's the word, falling out of love? I'm not entirely sure what you kids call it these days," Altessa cooed as she opened the doors up quickly before running inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hatter sighed as she walked along as little Audri looked at Monty with a smile on her face, "Do you think Altessy will go awah?"

OOC: I'm writing an AudriXZurxet story... i think i'm running in writer's block crisis ^^;

 

"Well, sorry for that fact with the dead bodies and all dude," Xander said as the peacock went over and pecked Xenlo on the forehead. The man winced until he opened his eyes and sat up, "Stupid peacock. Where is everyone?"

"Went to chase down Altessa," Rose said as Xenlo got up to his feet and went to Lizabeth's side, "What are YOU doing Xenlo?" "Well, I'm going to make a wake up call," Xenlo said as he held Lizabeth's cold face in between his hands, "Audri? Audri, wake up. Please, PLEASE wake up. Lizabeth is Hatter right now, and that's not good for any of you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scarlett and Ace barely caught up as Altessa pranced around giggling, "She's falling out of love because she's becoming questionable, like if she had made the right choice in dating you!"

"Don't listen to her Kinta! She's trying to bait you!" Andre snapped as he caught up as well as they stood away from the witch and the pissed off man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, that could be true," Hatter said as Audri nodded her head, "Well, wet's hope that doesn't happen then!"

OOC: But it's really hard since it's hard to channel Zurxet's personality into this... also the fact that we don't hear much with him and all... -.-; it's hard, but i'm working with it.

 

"Err, that's a man," Xander whispered as he gestured over to where Xenlo was standing as Rose went over to the Noah's side nervously, "Why are you calling Lizabeth Audri? And why are you hoping that she'll wake up? I mean... she's dead!"

"Well, true that she seems dead but not really my dear Rose," Xenlo said as he looked back at his daughter before looking down at Lizabeth, "When she got a heart, her personality changed. What happens if the body of a Nobody is dead in the first place?" "That is making no sense Xenlo!" Xander whined as Xenlo whipped back around pointing down at the dead corpse, "Her heart would stop to be aligned with the other organs, meaning-"

"Meaning that we can't feel her heartbeat because she doesn't have one," Rose said gasping in surprise as she understood her father's statement. "Ok, if that's true, then why won't she wake up, and why do you keep calling her Audri again," Xenlo said rolling his eyes annoyed. "It's... a long, LONG story." Xenlo mumbled as he rubbed his thumb against the dead girl's cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh yeah? How would you know? Audri loves questioning everything around her, and even about herself!" Altessa screeched as she held up another shield to block the oncoming waves of majik, "Besides, it looks like it really hurts when you do learn the truth about something. I mean, look at Andre!"

"The hell are you rambling about now Altessa?" Andre groaned as Altessa smirked faintly, "I mean, look at you darling! You were such a happy kid, until you found Audri a hinderance because everyone loved her. She was an angel, she was the best grandchild ever! All of those compliments drove into you like a bunch of needles, as you know deeply, that you're nothing but a mistake yourself~"

"I'm going to KILL her!" Andre snarled about to charge in, but Rauxdi noticed how out of control he was that she had to hold him back, "H-hey Andre! Take it e-easy!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes'm sir!" Little Audri said as she clung onto Hatter as the mad woman went off into a sprint.

OOC: I kind of guessed that myself about him being their father, but I always wondered, what reason was there for him to steal Sri away? And how I have him so far is being a grumpy pissed-off sorcerer since people seem to rub off on him the wrong way.
Also, I couldn't think of how old he could be or is... Any pointers?

 

"Yeah, sorry with messing with your ways of thinking," Blood uttered as Xenlo put his head down against Lizabeth's forehead as he took a few deep breaths in and out. After a few moments, He stood up and slapped Lizabeth's across the face. The blonde girl's eyes snapped open as she suddenly sat up with a panic-striken look on her face. "Oh son of a bitch!" Xander shouted jumping off of his chair as 'Lizabeth held her head as she started coughing up blood.

"Ok, Audri. We really don't have much time left. We have to beat Lizabeth to Altessa or you two are pretty much going to be dead," Xenlo said as he grabbed the blonde's other hand after she ceased coughing up blood. "G... got it. Oh damn, I didn't think she'd still butcher me up when I was playing possum," 'Lizabeth groaned as she tried to stand up but her legs were just shaking too much.

"WAIT JUST A SECOND!" Rose shouted as Xenlo tried to lead Lizabeth out of the room. Xenlo glanced back as Rose tried to calmly talk, "HOW.... Why do you keep calling her Audri?!" "Well, I'll give you the short story of this whole plan. The present Audri and Lizabeth switched bodies so they can take Altessa down. Lizabeth doesn't even know that Altessa was trying to kill her, I did. So I asked for Audri's help, if she wanted to even save her enemy," Xenlo said as the blonde blood fell to her knees coughing up more blood as a familiar black swirling tattoo started to crawl up every point on her body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Altessa just smirked as she casted Water to put the flames out before they reached her. "Oh, poor little Kinta is getting tired? Tch, i would expect much more from a guy who's been saying he was going to kill me," Altessa said as the spells ceased firing.

"I was really hoping that Audri would be here for the big finale of me killing all of you off. Guess there's no way that will happen now," Altessa said as she walked over to where Kinta was as she charged up another spell. Andre was about to rush to the man's side, but Rauxdi was still holding him back, and she didn't seem to budge anytime soon. "What are you-" Shut up and listen!" Rauxdi hissed as Andre suddenly became quiet.

He heard some type of whistling noise before a rocket flew above the group's heads and blew up a few inches away from where Altessa was standing. Luckily enough, Altessa lost concentration and was blown back into the wall. "HA, BULLSEYES YOU STUPID BITCH!" Hatter said as she came from the hallway with Monty resting on the rocket launcher and Audri walking by her side.

"You almost hit Kintah!" Audri whined flailing her arms around as Hatter shook her head laughing, "Take it easy! He's still alive... I hope."

OOC: How is destroying a village help someone? Huh, I'll keep that in mind with killing people with kindness... Would he act the same towards Kinta or different? Now i'm seeing why you think the AudriXZurxet pairing is creepy o__o;

 

"No, I find your bizarre rambling to be quite entertaining," Blood said snickering a little bit as Rose stood there in shock. "What..." The blonde woman couldn't even form a sentence, yet comprehend on how any of this is impossible.

"Look, we can talk about this later. Right now, we have to go stop Lizabeth before she kills Altessa or I'll be dead too," Audri grumbled as she coughed up some more blood. The peacock trotted over to "Lizabeth's" side before it started to coo and nuzzle its head against her leg. "Well, nice to see you too." Audri muttered before she got back to her feet. Xander swiftly walked over and helped her onto her feet and walked with her out the door.

"I'll stick around here," Xenlo said with a smile on his face as Blood sweatdropped, "Are you sure? I mean, Audri is in a body that was beaten to the brink of death! How did she come back to life?" "She... she didn't die yet. Not yet anyways, I found out that in Audri's mind, Lizabeth's, or should I say Rauxdi's 'shell', was already considered dead to Audri. Meaning that there's no way to kill something already dead," Xenlo said as he sat back down on the bloody bed with the peacock following Xander & the barely alive girl out of the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scarlett and Ace went over to Kinta slowly as they knew that the man was at his limit. "Seriously Kinta, you should really stop fighting, you're not going to survive if you keep pushing your limits at this point," Scarlett said as Ace nodded, a tad afraid to touch the man just in case he get hit by some wave of magic from the exhausted man.

"Yeah, sorry about that Monty. I really was never good at aiming with guns," Hatter said sweatdropping as Andre looked over at her with a surprised look on his face. "Audri..." He uttered making Rauxdi turn around and give her a friendly wave, "Well, look who decided to FINALLY show up. I think Kinta is going to get his ass handed to him if he doesn't stop fighting."

Hatter gave Rauxdi and Andre a questionable looked before walking over to them with a faint smile on her face, "Yeah, just get him out of there because I know how to get rid of Altessa for good." "Really?" Andre said a little astonished as little Audri nodded before the Hatter spoke again, "But you all should stay out of the way if you don't wanna get killed."

Something flickered inside Hatter's eyes which made Rauxdi a little uneasy as she wasn't sure what was just was. "Monty, Audri, make sure to keep your promise," The Hatter said as she handed Monty over to little Audri before she walked over to the blue-haired demoness who was getting herself out of a crater in the wall.

OOC: Ok, I think I got a run-down on how Zurxet ticks... I think.

 

Xenlo just stood there before sighing.
"Now that we have time Xenlo, mind telling me on when my time stops?" Rose asks as she stepped in front of him as a pained expression past his face as she spoke.

Audri glanced back at Cu Sith before she whistled with her free hand. The peacock picked up Cu Sith and placed it back on its back as it hobbled down the hallway. "It's better if you don't understand because if you tell your summoner about everything, he'll probably get mad of what I've done to risk my life for everyone else's," Audri said as she spat some blood on the floor while Xander helped her walk, "Careful Audri. I don't need you dying yet. It's hard enough that you're trying to recover in another body just so it doesn't die itself."

Audri looked at Xander before cracking a smile at him, "I'm sorry, but that didn't make any sense, what so ever!" Xander cracked a smile as he laughed half-heartedly, "I'm sorry, you know that me and Rauxdi do it all the time because of how right you and Andre are at times.." "I suppose, but you still act like an idiot," Audri said rolling her eyes as the Nobody sighs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, you two might not be able to tell if that's Audri, but it's a form of Audri that never comes out unless she is "released", as one would say it." Andre muttered as the Hatter walked a few feet away from where Altessa was as the blue-haired girl looked at her in a cocky manner.

"Released? Why did you say released?!" Riri said glancing at Andre nervously as Rauxdi put her hands on her hips looking up before back at the others, "She... Well, this Audri is known as "Hatter", as she is one fucked-up mad woman. She's also known as her Sanity."
"Did you know about this Audri?" Scarlett asked crouching down to the little blonde girl who stood there with the Moogle. Audri looked down before she nodded, "The nice lady told me so."

"Well, nice to see you Audri!" Altessa said before a bullet was shot a few inches from her head. "Drop it Altessa, you should really die right now, but I sadly can't kill you now," Hatter growled threatening as Altessa gigged.
"What are you, a girl with no bite? For shame Audri! I know that you're dying to rip this throat out of mine, am I right? Besides, you should damn known what today is," Altessa said waving her hands up trying to taunt the Hatter.
"Oh, just shut up you annoying twat!" Hatter barked as she shot another missile at the woman, making the blue-haired witch barely react as she put up a shield at the last moment. As the smoke cleared, Altessa's shoulder was bleeding as the black marks on her hand turned into a violet ink.
"You little BITCH!" Altessa screamed as she threw a blizzard spell at the blonde Hatter. The woman laughed as she snapped her fingers before the spell hit her, making the spell change into a thunder spell and reflect back at Altessa, barely missing the witch.

OOC: Lextus? Who... er, nevermind. i'll probably find out later. and thanks, it's pretty hard to think of new scenarios sometimes so i've been bumping around to other stories i've been working on.

 

"Well, as long as he knows I'm not really me and that 'Me' doesn't say that she's her, then we're going to be a-ok! Well, hopefully we will be ok," Audri said as Xander sweatdrops, "And you say that I'm the crazy one when it comes to talking..."

"Shut up you stupid Nobody and hurry up! Hatter is kicking Altessa's ass and we need to stop her before she kills her!" Audri said poking Xander in the cheek as he tried to pick up his pace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We should really get to some better cover," Andre said as Rauxdi gripped his wrist, "No, we have to stay just in case Audri gets out of control. Andre looked over at Hatter before at the Nobody with a grimaced look on his face, "Oh, SHIT! I just remembered that we haven't turned 21 yet! Ugh, I am in SO much trouble already, I don't need her dead too!"

Hatter glanced over at Neli before a smile cracked into her face, "Careful sweetie or I'm going to be in trouble~!"
"Trouble? Hah, you haven't met trouble yet. EAT WOOD!" Altessa snapped as she formed a spear made from the violet ink dripping off her fingers and threw it at Hatter. Hatter smirked as she quickly dodged out of the way of the spear and caught it gracefully before twirling it within her hand and shot it back at Altessa.
Altessa was about to move out of the way, but she was in the progress of chanting a spell that she was pierced through her chest and slammed back into the wall.
"Is she dead?" Little Audri asked poking the moogle as Hatter shook her head, "You can't kill something that's already dead. You can try to exorcise it, but not kill." "Very good Audri, seems you're learning something," Altessa snapped as she started spitting out blood on the floor as she leaned against the wall with the spear impaled in her chest.

OOC: Alrighty then! i love doing side-tracking! It makes me think of more scenes and dialogue.
