Nobodia

[Rikugurl]

Riku winced some more as he felt black teeth gnaw on his leg. He flicked his leg, sending the heartless over the edge of the tower and into the black abyss. When the wind finally stopped, his hair was all over his face, but he got up quickly. He looked around to see everyone go to Axel's aid.

An invisible field surrounded the hole, making it impossible for anyone to get through or down.

By the time the wind stopped, Axel was dangling off the side of the hole. He dug his black nails deep into the brick and tried to swing himself to safely. "Ahhh....." When he saw everyone hit the invisible shield.... he knew he was in trouble...


The witch slowly lowered as her normal self and stood in front of the squirming pyro.
"This was all your idea wasn't it?" The green witch asked as she glared down at Axel. "To take all my Heartless army away from me." She raised her staff as he expected an answer.

"Go fuck yourself!" The redhead called up as his feet still tried to get anywhere.

The witch gasped from the foul response. "So... that's the way you want to play.... fine." Her eyes darkened as she suddenly slammed her staff down on Axel's fingernails, snapping them off and making it impossible for him to hang on. She quickly got rid of one hand and Axel yelped, now only able to keep himself from falling with the strength of one hand.

"What was wrong with combining our power? The Darkness and the Nobodies? We could rule all the worlds."

"I don't want all the worlds! Do you know how hard that would be!? I LIKE SLEEPING!" The red called up as he looked down at the ridiculously long fall.

The witch growled and slammed her staff down on three more of the black nails.

Two fingers dug into the stone held the pyro from falling.

"One last chance?"

The green eyes narrowed as he hawked up a luggie, ready to spit it at her. But before he could, the witch quickly kicked the man in the face, making his grip loose and let go.

Axel screamed as he fell down into the dark tower and a loud thud was heard down below.

[Reno]

The blonde ignored the claws slashing down his back, his mind and heart only concentrated on one person.

"no fuck!" Roxas snapped, slamming his keyblade into the shield, only to bounce backwards. It wouldn;t break!

Sora, also panicked, kicked the shield, unable to make it even budge! This wasn;t good, this was very, very BAD.

Roxas's heart slammed in his chest as the witch started to hurt his lover. "Stop it!" he screamed, putting his hands on the shield. "Axel!!"

But he could only watch in horror as his lover was beaten mercilessly and unfairly.

"Maleficent you cowardous bitch!" Sora screamed then, slamming his own keyblade into the shield. He felt so helpless on this side, unable to do anything else but watch as one of his friends was hurt.

"Axel!" Sora yelled, shocked into silence. no... this wasn't happening.

Roxas' heart literally stopped when his lover screamed and fell. his eyes were wide with terror and anguish. "no..." he heard the thud, tears splashing from his eyes. "no.. axel... AXEL! AXEEEEEEL!" Roxas screamed, slamming his fists onto the shield. "you... you... mother fucking bitch! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" no no no! his Axel! Axel wasn't dead he couldn't be no that wasn't... THAT WASN'T FAIR!

[Rikugurl]

The green skinned witched watched as the red one fell. A evil laugh started from her cruel lips as she looked at the others banging on the shield.
"Well, that is one less worry for my headache." She smiled evilly before she disappeared into a cloud of black and green flames. The Heartless went with her and the shield went down.

Riku's ocean eyes watched in horror too. It was getting more violent than just flames here and there.
When the shield went down, Riku slowly walked to the edge of the hole and looked down. However.... it was impossible to see the bottom from up there... it was too far down.
He looked up to see Roxas and Sora...

[Reno]

Roxas scowled as the witch disappeared. "coward!" he screeched. but the moment the shield disapepared, he started to yell. "Axel! Axel!!" he wasn;t going to get an answer. he raced for the edge.

Sora panicked, grabbing his brother around the waist. "ah, don;t just jump!!!"

"let me go!" Roxas thrashed in his brother's arms, violently flinging his arms. "let go Sora!"

"Calm down!" Sora snapped.

The blonde screeched, swinging his leg back to kick his brother. the brunette winced. Roxas choked back a sob. "please... eh can;t be."

His legs trembled and colaspped against the other, tears falling from his eyes.

Sora sighed, hugging his brother tightly, then forced him to stand, holding out a hand. "come on. we'll glide down... together."

Roxas sniffled, looking confused. he took the hand.

Sora glanced at Riku, his eyes eyes shimmering sadly. He couldn;t take them both at once... and it was Roxas who needed to get down... He then pulled his brother flush against him, and jumped from the edge.

...It took a lot to think of a happy thought this time.

because he knew.. at the end of this decent what they would most likely find.

[Rikugurl]

Riku saw the sad look in Sora's eyes and just nodded. He'd stay up there. He wasn't sure if he wanted to see the.... dead pyro himself. There was no way that man could of survived the fall. When Sora jumped down with Roxas, he sat down and sighed.

Death wasn't something Riku thought of too much. Of course their was phoenix down... but that only worked in battles... the same with the white majick; Life. The silver hair blew as the wind did. He suddenly winced as he looked up at the kingdom. That pain in his side was coming back...

This place was evil.


At the bottom of the tower, right smack in the middle, laid the pyro in the black hood. The hood had flipped up from the fall but was pushed back down as he hit the cold stone floor.
Green eyes looked up at the sky, but didn't move. A puddle of blood surrounded his head and mixed in with his red hair. His limbs too were all blooded and limp.

[Reno]

Sora turned his head away from the sight, as Axel calm into view. even from far away he could identify blood. He never would be able to maintain flght if he kept looking.

However Roxas couldn't. He squirmed in Sora's arms, hsi breath speeding up . "Oh god no... no..."

Sora's arms tightended as he pulled into a glide, and before he even touched ground Roxass sprung from his arms and to Axel's side.

"no... Axel... Axel!!" Roxas whispered, falling to his knees, the pyro's blood mising into his gray jeans. his whole hand was shaking as he cupped the red-heads cheek, another hand falling over his heart in some... faint hope he;d feel something.

Sora watched the scene, his own heart breaking. he put a hand over his mouth as tears raced down his face. How... how would he feel... if this was him and Riku...? Just at the thought, his heart gave a vicious tug that made his whole soul shudder - there was no doubt in his mind that Riku had felt it as well. he stifled a sob.

[Rikugurl]

Riku could hear Roxas down below and sighed more. This was awful. How could that witch.... No wonder she was given that title. He looked up at the Kingdom and frowned. "I thought you were Light.... how could you let this happen...?"

As Roxas touched the man's cheek, the greens moved to looked at Roxas. "I-I'm fine..... g-got that memorize?" He asked as a small smile pushed over his face.
Damn... this hurt like hell.

[Reno]

Roxas's heart skipped a beat. "A-Axel..." he sobbed suddenly. "Axel!"

Sora looked over, his eyes widened at the red-head's voice.

"You're... you're alive.." the blonde whimpered, feeling the comforting beat of a heart under his fingertips. he sobbed again in relief.

The brunette rushed over, kneeling down. He looked the red-head over, his eyes wide. how was it... oh it didn't matter. the keyblade appeared in his hands and he lifted it. "cure!"

Green magic flowed over the pyro.

[Rikugurl]

The green eyes met the green majick that swarmed around his body. He started to actually feel somethings... but they were still very numb. He winced as he sat up and rubbed his head that still had blood coming from it.
He looked at Roxas who was in tear but smiled, kissing the boy's cheek. "It's ok baby..."
Axel looked at Sora and smiled weakly. "Thank you Sora.... but..." he looked at Roxas again, a bit confused.
"How did I survive the fall?"


"Simple... the Paupo fruit." A voice came from the darkness of a corner as Riku stepped out. He smiled as he looked at the pyro and then at Sora. "Roxas and Axel shared a Paupo fruit... meaning that they're intertwined.... I don't think one can die without the other."

[Reno]

Roxas sobbed, rubbing his eyes. "i'm... so happy."

Sora pondered over the question as well, but his head whipped around when Riku answered. He stood.

"The fruit..." Roxas whispered, fresh tears springing to his eyes. he leaned forward giving the red-head a soft kiss on the lips.

"Ri..." Sora whispered, then walked over to the silver-haired male and gave him a tight hug. If it hadn;t of been for Riku Axel would have been... and Roxas... and... "You're the best." the brunette murmured with a fond smile.

[Rikugurl]

Well this was sappy... too sappy. What on EARTH was this Paupo fruit? The witch frowned as she looked through the portal at the scene. She turned and frowned. "I don't know why I gave you a second chance Pete... please remind me...."

Riku blinked at the tug. "heh... don't thank me..." He just thought it would be a nice house warming gift... plus he wish more people ate the delicious fruit.

Axel smile at the kiss and returned it. He was a bit dizzy so didn't bother to get up. Looking down and seeing the blood made him even more dizzy~

[Reno]

The cat-like creatutre twiddled his thumbs and smiled. "because um... i guarentee that i can do the job this time?"

Sora chuckled, nuzzling him. "okay."

Roxas smiled a bit, but drew his arms around Axel to steady him. "we need to do something about that..." Roxas nodded towards the wounds. he wodnered if another cure spell...

Sora glanced back then. "We better get Axel somewhere safe so he can heal."

[Rikugurl]

The witch frowned but nodded. "Alright.... but if you fail me this time..." She motioned her long black nail over her throat.

Riku smiled and slowly pushed Sora off. He was holding onto his wound too much. He wince slightly and held his waist, looking at Axel. "Yea.... but who knows where the witch is hiding out right now."
Obviously no where in Nobodia since everything was practically destroyed...

Axel winced a lot as he was pulled up from the floor. He wrapped a long arm around Roxas's shoulders and whined from the pain.

[Reno]

The cat flinched. "i won't!" mm, maybe deceieveing Mickey hadn;t been too bright.

"we'll... worry about it later." Sora said, walking over towards Roxas and Axel.

Roxas grunted a bit, taking the brunt of Axel's weight, but he didn;t mind. He was still thrilled his lover was even alive.

[Rikugurl]

After a few hours, they were able to find a half way decent house that was good for resting. A high potion was put on Axel but it did little to no good, he would just have to heal like everyone else.... which would be too slow.
It was hard to say, but Axel would have to stand down on this battle.

Everyone seemed to be sleeping... at least Sora and Axel. Roxas was no where to be found but footsteps could be heard outside.
Riku laid up against the wall and just rested his eyes. The wound on his side wouldn't exactly let him sleep.
