120th Day [audio/video]

[mirroredmemory]

[The feed comes on to the sound of someone's body hitting the ground. There is no visual to speak of, just the black inside of a coat. There's a short feminine cry then the sound of fabric shifting.]

Haaa!

[The voice is much more recognisable as Xion's, this time angry and raised in a challenge. There's a crashing sound of metal on metal, and then

...No way.

No-!

[theprobator]

[only after Xion escapes does the monster she left behind toe at the NV on the ground, smirking down at the face on the screen.]

Ahiru, right? Did Ventus ever finally tell you about his true purpose?

[quackery]

You let him go! He didn't do anything! He never-

He doesn't deserve this!

[theprobator]

Doesn't deserve it? [you crack him up, Ahiru. thought Vanitas' laughter was unpleasant before? now it's laced with a bright voice that once belonged to Ventus.]

This-- this weapon-- [it's too big for the NV to capture the entire thing, but he's brandishing the χ-blade almost proudly anyway.] is all he's good for.

[Video --Move to action, yeah?]

[madeinoblivion]

No way!

[Hoarse, raw, savage- and brimming with so much darkness that the feed crackles with the hot ultraviolet static of its aura.]

Xion! Hang on!

[And that's it. Enough holding back and waiting for everyone to get plucked off, one by one. Enough watching his friends be defeated and dissapear.]

Vanitas! I'll show you who's a cockroach!

[Video -- COME GET ME SKIRT BRO]

[theprobator]

Who? You?

[not something Ventus would ever say, but there it his, that doubled voice starting to laugh again. please, as far as he's concerned, Joe without a Keyblade and him with the χ-blade makes Joe even more worthless than Girl Ventus.]

[YEP, I'M COMING WITH SOUL EATER. YES. THAT ONE.]

[madeinoblivion]

Me. I'll wipe that grin right off your face, chew it up, and spit it out for the rope-faced dogs to eat!

[Nevermind that you're wearing a face like my best friend. You don't mess with Xion.]

[YAY I BET IT TASTES LIKE CANDY AND DEATH]

[theprobator]

[-- and he suddenly breaks into laughter. the kind of laughter where it sounds as if he can't catch his breath, like it almost hurts, and with a fairly heavy twinge of condescending disbelief. yeah, he doesn't buy it, Joe.]

[createsoblivion]

No!

Vanitas! Leave her alone! [Panic. Sheer fucking panic sweeps over her. Why.. Why was history repeating itself?]

[theprobator]

[enjoy a long silence, Aqua, because you won't be getting a reply immediately-- and it's probably not who you want to see smirking back at the screen, either.]

[video]

[brbomnomsouls]

Xion! [Soul swears under his breath, already out the door with the keys to his motorcycle. He's not even waiting.] Damnit damnit DAMNIT!

[video]

[theprobator]

[Soul will be getting a reply somewhere on his way out, several minutes later.]

Too late.

[todomarishi]

Vanitas!

[Shock isn't one of the emotions that's been registering well for the Sentiment. He isn't surprised by what he can make out in the video. He isn't horrified by the prospect of that warped blade being created. He doesn't worry that this might mean Xehanort is winning. He feels no pain in knowing his best friend has been overcome. Instead, what he 'sees' and what he 'hears', what his senses relay to his will, cut past the thoughts and hit the quick that is his rage.

In other words, HE MAD.]

voice;

[theprobator]

[... hello there, metal head. the half of Ventus that is hearing the Sentiment is all over that rage. if he weren't whole, so to speak, it would be interesting to see what sort of Unversed--]

[but that's irrelevant.]

Hah. How does it feel to lose again?

voice;

[todomarishi]

This isn't over yet!
