Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"Yes m'mam!" Scarlett and Andre said as they stopped bickering all of a sudden as Lizabeth waved her hand as a portal opened up next to the robot, "That should take you to at least inside the castle. From what I hear, there are very little nobodies within the walls ever since the Organization fell. So you might not have to deal with fighting... I hope."

"What's with the sudden gesture of kindness?" Andre asked as Lizabeth smirked, "I think I'm going to need Audri to patch up what Altessa torn apart. "Righto, let's get going then!" Andre said as he pulled Riri and Scarlett through the portal with no second thought.

"Ace, can you get me something to drink?" Lizabeth asked as the wolf boy nodded going to get her some water. Dietrich shook his head as he hung up the phone, "Hurry back before Kinta wakes up and thinks you morons ditched him."

OOC: Good for you! :3

 

Scarlett escaped Andre's grasp and went on helping Neli out with some of the heartless as she casted a few Fire spells here and there from getting pummeled by the oncoming heartless.

"Geeze, it looks like there's no end to them!" Andre said as he casted a Blizzard spell which took in the shape of a dog before attacking some of the nearby heartless. "You're telling us something we already know!" Riri snapped as she kicked a few heartless away as she looked around the area, "Where the hell can that blonde girl be?!!"

"We can check the castle and see if she might be there," Scarlett said before she got tackled back by someone in a black trench coat. "Please tell me it's not what I think it is," Scarlett scoffed as the person walked over shaking their head before taking off their hood to see that it was blue-eyed nobody twin, Xander. " 'Sup my human, and demon bastard, posse?" Xander said with a toothy grin before he was kneeling in pain because Scarlett kicked him in the stomach, "FUCK YOU, NOBODY CREEP!"
"Not the time idiots!" Riri barked as she jumped back holding onto her arm from a few Neoshadows.

 

"No kidding!" Scarlett snapped as Xander slashed some heartless away from with a pair of purple and silver chakrams as he laughed, "What idiot thinks that it's a good idea to come outside with all of these hoards all over the place?"

"Apparently the idiot who made a portal here," Riri said sweatdropping as she thought back on how injured Lizabeth is and how she is probably all disoriented. "Ugh, that is the last time we use Lizabeth for anything!" Andre snarled as the ice dog transformed into a rather large wolf before it started stepping on what heartless were still around.

"Now that I think about it, why are you here Xander? I thought you were stuck in Audri's mind," Scarlett asked as she let her guard down as Xander scratched the back of his head, "Well, after Audri and Xenlo got back to reality, she let us out while she let Rauxdi test out her new body." "So, how come Rauxdi didn't come with you?" Riri asked as she glanced over at the Nobody twin as he smiled holding up the chakrams, "She can transform herself into weapons remember?"

"Shut up Xander and lets hurry back to Audri! You know we didn't come out here to chit chat! Xenlo sent us here to pick these goofballs up," Rauxdi's voice growled from the pair of chakrams as they started to glow with a silver lighting.

OOC: Huh, sounds fitting!

 

"Geeze Kinta, stop overreacting that we didn't tell you," Scarlett said shaking her head annoyed by the blazing light show as Xander waved his hands, "Uh, hello? Aren't we going?" "Uh, yeah. Sorry Xander, come on guys," Riri said sweatdropping as she followed after the Nobody.

~~~~

"Well, here we are!" Xander said as he stood in the middle of the floor of Nothing's Call, being the first area of the Castle That Never Was. "So, where's Audri and Xenlo exactually?" Riri asked cocking her head to the side as Xander scratched the back of his head, "I don't remember. I just remember that they are in a room where what's left of Kingdom Hearts is able to be seen by the window. It's got quite the view though."

"Yeah, I got a question for you Xander," Scarlett said as she glanced around at the walls as Xander smiled, "and what would that be?" "Not be alarming, but why is there black puddles over there?" Scarlett asked pointing to black goo all over the ground behind the Nobody.
"I... Er, it's kind of-"
"Audri's been trying to get rid of the remaining Devil's Plague in her body," Rauxdi explained as she transformed back and stood right next to her Nobody twin.

OOC: I'm using Youtube for inspiration and I thought of making a new signature! Now I started making one for every Organization member.. I've only done Xemnas & Xigbar so far though -.-;

 

"Well, you should of been a big boy and swapped places with Kinta if you were scared of needles and such," Riri said with a smile on her face as she followed behind the brunette as Scarlett sweatdrops, "I think that you're just bizarre."

"Right, well I wouldn't say that she's entirely cured yet. She's so close to finally being rid of the disease, but it's been taking a toll on her body itself." Rauxdi said as Andre grabbed Rauxdi's hand as he walked with her, "Is she going to be fine though?"

Xander glared at Andre before hissing, "What do you think you idiot?" Andre ignored his comments as Rauxdi forced a smile on her face, "She'll be ok! She's been real light-headed but doing alright."
"Lightheaded? Why so?" Scarlett asked as Rauxdi sweatdropped, "Well, I guess Audri can tell you when we get there since I'm still fuzzy on the details."

OOC: Sure! Give me a few minutes and I'll try to get the files together :3

 

"No kidding," Scarlett said as Riri snickered chasing after the hurrying brunette, "We're not the ones holding up the group!"

"Oy Riri, don't make Ranma push you off the stairs," Andre said sweatdropping as Rauxdi let out a laugh, "That would be funny! Quick Ranma, push someone off!"
"You are a sadist Nobody," Xander muttered shaking his head as Rauxdi flashed a smile to him, "Don't worry, I won't go torturing anyone!"

Xander was about to respond to Rauxdi's awkward comment before he hear the melody of a piano playing above their heads. "What's that?" Riri asked suddenly as Rauxdi pointed to the ceiling, "Sounds like Audri is playing. She's been trying to inspire, but it ends in-" She was cut off as there was cursing and piano keys being smashed as absurd notes were just being played.
"I would take it she's having a hard time?" Andre asked a little nervous as Rauxdi laughed nervously, "She better not be smashing her head against those piano keys again..."

OOC: I'm making a photo album called Kingdom Chibi. I'm up to Luxord so far with what I've done :3 Those should be up a bit!

 

"Ugghhhhh, I hate pianos. I hate music. I hate my life. Someone please kill me," Audri groaned to herself with her head on the piano keys, not really taking in Ranma's presence as the others entered the area as well.
"Audri, come on let's get going home," Riri said cheerfully about to walk over to where Audri was before slipping on a few of the scattered papers on the floor. "Owww, my back..." Riri groaned as Scarlett walked over and helped the fox girl up.

"Well, finally you idiots show up!" Xenlo said carrying a pile of papers in his arms as Andre sweatdropped, "Not to oblivious, but what's with all of the papers?"
"And who murdered what here?" Scarlett asked as she saw a bunch of that black goo from earlier all over the piano, the floor, some on Xenlo's clothes and the walls.
"Oh, well... er, let's just say that Audri's treatment has been very well and she's almost done with the Devil's Plague!" Xenlo said throwing the papers in the air not wanting to hold them as Andre scratched the back of his head, "It's a miracle that you found a cure for this! How are you curing her anyways?"

Xenlo's smile on his face cracked a little before he turned away as he went over to Audri. "Audri, get up. Your friends and your idiotic brother are here!" Xenlo said about to tap the top of her head before a Thunder spell almost zapped him as he moved away in time.

OOC: Finished putting them up!

 

"No, she isn't cured by the music. She writes and plays music when she feels guilty. But the guilt usually isn't this bad," Xenlo said scratching his head as Andre glared at him, "And yet you won't tell us on how Audri is curing herself."

"Well, it's more if Audri tells you herself since I'm not wanting to be the one in freaking you all out. Audri, I got candy for you!" Xenlo snapped at the blonde girl whose head shot up as she looked around as she started getting to her feet, "Candy?! Where, gimmie!"

"Audri, just calm down for a second," Xenlo said as Riri noticed some bandages wrapped tightly around her wrists and head, "Xenlo, has Audri been hurting herself in some way?"
"Well, more or less, yes she is. Audri can you show them your... thing," Xenlo glanced back at the blonde as she nodded as she bit her thumb. It started to bleed before she transformed it into pistol as she held it against her head. "What the- Don't you dare pull that trigger Audri," Andre said as he immediately jumped from where he was standing as Audri had a smile on her face, "But I have to!"

Before Audri pulled the trigger, the black goo exploded from the bandages on Audri's wrists as it turned into a type of thread and yanked the gun from her head as she shot at the wall instead. The black goo dripped off the bandages as Audri stood there with tears running down her face, "That... that was a close call like the last time."

OOC: lol, I think I'll make a moogle one as well :3

 

Audri jumped back a little nervous of Kinta as Xenlo stepped in front of Audri glaring at them, "I'm sorry if it scares you guys, but that's how I found out that this was the only way on how the cure works." "How... When did you find out about this cure?" Andre asked trying to be calm as he was still feeling his heart racing in his chest from the sudden suspense trip Audri just gave him from almost shooting herself.

"Well, I went and found out where Justis was at least a week or so ago." Xenlo said as Scarlett's eyes opened up, "You... found out where Justis was all these years?"
"Yeah, wasn't hard to find him. Anyways, he told me that there was this weird black ink that came from Altessa's body when he was trying to kill her that one time she was trying to murder him. He said it was some type of self-protecting barrier and that it prevented him from even getting close enough to her since it kept pouring from her blood and making shields and such," Xenlo explained as Audri looked at her bandages that the black goo came out of.

"Is... Wait wait, this doesn't make sense. When did you tell Audri about this cure?" Riri said as she stepped up a little confused of the whole situation as Xenlo twiddled with his fingers, "About the same day I came to meet you guys at Olympus. Also, this whole 'curing' business is part of WHY Audri does feel guilty though."

"Is it's only part, why is she guilty then?" Scarlett asked eyeing the blonde girl as she looked away as she tried to avoid eye contact with everyone. "Well, Audri. Are you going to tell them?" Xenlo asked glancing back at his granddaughter as Audri looked up with her tears running down her face as her eyes sparked of fear.

Audri looked back down shaking her head as Andre tried to walk towards her, "Audri, what's the matter?" "I... I don't wanna tell you all," Audri said she her body started to shake a little as Andre carefully grabbed her shoulders, "Oh, come on now Audri, don't be so stubborn." Audri looked up biting her lip as she tried to wipe her tears away, "I'm too scared... I don't wanna say it."

OOC: hehe, probably!

 

"Eh, oh thanks for reminding me Neli, Ranma. I had to go grave-digging for parts to make a body for Rauxdi. That was a small surprise for her while Altessa was breathing down my backs for a body for her own." Audri said scratching her neck as she tried to blink away all of her tears.

"Ok, before you start some more waterworks, can you tell us what you feel guilty about?" Andre said as Audri looked down with an overcast look on her face. "Oh, well... that's something I kind of have to talk with Kinta about alone," Audri said trying to not make contact with the others as Rauxdi and Xander groaned, "Oh COME on Audri! Hurry up and tell your boyfriend then!"

"Y...yeah, you should tell your b..boyfriend," Andre said trying to force a smile on his face as Audri sweatdropped, "Brother..." Andre stepped back a little as Audri quickly walked over and grabbed Kinta's hand as she dragged him into the hallway. She sealed the doorway behind her just in case the others wanted to listen in.

"I'm so sorry Kinta, but I really can't bring myself to bring this up in front of the others. But... when we first spilt up in Olympus, I... was supposed to spilt up with you for good, if you get what I'm saying," Audri said as she leaned back against the wall trying to avoid eye contact Kinta as she was a little nervous since his first few reactions were not what he was expecting.

OOC: HAPPY 1000~!!!
