(Ouch >.o Someone give poor Roxas a moment to recover before you throw him all over the place will ya?)
He never got a chance to get his bearings, to collect the jumble of memories, separating what was his to what was Sora's. He was caught completely off guard as Sikix attacked, and only experience and skill kept his hands tightly gripped his Keyblades. Hadn't someone once taught him to never ever let go of his weapon? Was it Riku telling Sora off once, or had it been Xemnas, training the youngest member of the organization? He didn't really know, perhaps both.
His eyes watered from pain as he slammed into the wall, but miraculously landed on his feet as he felt himself thrown aside. He instantly got into a defensive stance, trying to take in the scene around him.
What had happened? The last thing he remembers...
"Look Sharp!"
Roxas had no time to dwell on it though, as he watched with surprise as his former companions from the organization materializing around him. Hadn't Sora defeated them at The World that Never Was? None of this was making much sense. He barely even registered Sikix's words.
Then a bright light filled the area, which caught the attention of all who were in the hall. Roxas stole a quick side glance, recognizing Sora in his final form, but forced his attention back to the enemies around him, no matter how curious he was. Deciding to save his questions for later, Roxas focused on his currant battle.
For a few moments, it didn't look like anything was happening, except Roxas kneeling there, Keyblades held out protectively. Then, a greyish-white figured emerged slowly from the ground, and Roxas suddenly burst into action, jumping at what he recognized as the one who had attacked him instantly- Sikix.
Twin Keyblades twirled and spun in perfect unison, as the Samurai nobody sank back into the ground, slinking around as it looked for a good time to strike. Roxas truly was surprised he had been able to summon it after his absence from the organization so long, but it must still recognize him.
Roxas watched Sikix carefully, an opening in his defenses, a fumble of movement, anything to help Roxas gain an advantage. Roxas knew from experience that there were many who had perfected the art of offense, and the art of defense as well, but the one weakness almost all swordsman had was knowing how to blend their attacks and defense at the same time. Roxas watched for that fault carefully, ready to exploit it at less than a moment's notice.
He could only assume that the organization members were sent after the others further down the hall, but the samurai was watching closely, ready to alert Roxas of any attacks from behind.
"Would somebody please tell me what the hell is going on here?!" Roxas growled at nobody in particular, although it seemed to be aimed at Sikix the most. This situation was confusing and chaotic at best, and dangerously distracting. But he didn't feel frustrated, nor anger at the situation he had been thrust into- just this endless emptiness that he was no longer used too, yet left his head much clearer to think. But he couldn't think- not when's he's fighting for his life out here.
He shouldn't have let the kids go outside alone, not when he knew Keeran was around!
But Felix had no time to take back his actions as he felt the light that protected the Castle break away, and heartless began to emerge from the floor, all over the kitchen.
Twin scimitars drawn, Felix shouted commands over the chaos, trying to get those who were not trained in combat to safety.
"Donald, Goofy! You handle the situation here, I'll go check the Cornerstone!"
Felix often forgets his station like this- Donald and Goofy were supposed to be the ones giving the commands to him- but no one's going to be caring about hierarchy in a situation like this. Trusting Donald and Goofy to protect the kitchen, Felix went down several flight of stairs, narrowly missing where the battle concerning Sora and his friends was taking place, skidded to a halt next to the door to the throne room, and forced himself in.
The whole time, slashing Heartless out of his way.
The Cornerstone! Someone had tempered with the cornerstone!
Willing to bet a bagful of gold that the Order was behind this, Felix rushed through the room, nearly running into Queen Mini, who also seemed determined to find out what was going on with the Cornerstone.
"Your majesty, please get to safety!" Felix said automatically to the Queen, stabbing a Neo heartless that had gotten too close for comfort. A slight glow of Felix's sword signaled the magic his elfish friends had bestowed upon the blade to makes them more effect against the dark beasts.
Mini of course, would hear no such thing, and proved more help then deterrent as she blasted heartless out of the way with magic. Felix didn't expect any other response, and the two of them focused on getting to the Throne, which would lead them to the Cornerstone of light.
Oh the chaos.
Kenlaux watched dispassionately the battle that was taking place. Taking more interest in the arrival of Roxas than anything else. Sikix and Keeran messed up, big time. But she frankly didn't care what was going to end up happening to them.
She watched Roxas behind a blur of black and pearly white, wondering. Roxas and Namine had been the only Nobodies lucky enough to once again gain a heart, both of them became somebodies again. But was the cost worth it? They had given up the life they already knew, the things they had done, the people they have met, and the places they have gone. Just for a heart that was the weakness of humankind?
Kenlaux always had internal debates about this, but the shadows of emotion that often taunts her was powerful enough to make her want to real thing. But it seems that Roxas perhaps might have had second thoughts about fusing with Sora?
Kenloux continued to hide in the shadows of a corner, determined to stay an observer, only participating if she is forced into the battle.

Sikix turned to look at Sora's final form before looking back at Roxas. "So....some of them still obey you do they? Don't worry not many other's will come to aid you any more......Fallen ones.....Deal wioth Sora and his friends...give me the time i need to absorb this one....." Sikix took a deep brethe before taking a few steps back giving him and Roxas approaite distant for the fight they where about to have. " I've been looking for you....you saved me the trouble of turnnig Sora into a heartless......You will give the order and me the power we need......" Sikix leapt forward at Roxas but the moment he was in striking range he leapt over the boy spinning in the air landing behind roxas letting his sword fall down towrds his shoulders.
Xenmas smirked and let a wave of energy wrap around him letting him go into his final form as well. His hands crackling with energy as the coat formed its white and black marks. showing him at full power. " Now all shall fall before us..." With out hesitation Xaldin and Xigbar vanished. Xigbar appeared above the group and began firing all around them while Xaldin and Siax charged in, Xaldin at Riku, Saix at Ian and Kairi. Demyx moved at after Kaila while Xenmas went after Sora himself.

Iah's eyes focused on Saix the moment he charged at Kairi when he swept Kairi off her feet to avoid being attack. Once they reached to a safe spot, Iah let Kairi down and looked at Sora. "I'll make sure to keep Kairi safe." He was heard to say as Iah turned to face the Luna Diviner, his sword pointing at the Nobody with a calm yet deadly glare. "You're not going to beat us this time!"
The keyblade appeared in Kairi's left hand as she swung it once and stood by Iah, facing the Nobody. She may not be much of a fighter like Sora and the others, but she wasn't going to stand by and do nothing. As she stood in a regular stance, Kairi exchanged glances with Iah before at Saix. "Hope you're ready, Iah!"
"Are you sure you want to fight? Its too dangerous, you know." Warned Iah only to be surprised when Kairi shook her head with a small smile."It isn't like I've been trouble before. Besides, I'm not going to back down now. This time, I'LL fight."
There was no more fear in her eyes but she was hesitating for a bit when she shook off that feeling and watched Saix carefully. They were both waiting for him to make his move since neither Kairi nor Iah would rush into battle recklessly.

Sora's azure eyes glanced at Iah and he nodded then looked back towards Xemnas, when Sora spoke he spoke in a manner that could sent chill down the spines of those who listened to him "Yeah....All of you will fall before us. Now who wants to go first?!" he glared at Xemnas and charged forward throwing his arms forward as the two Keyblades that followed him suddenly flew over him and began to attack with a mind of their own, yet still followed their master's orders.
He made one stab itself into the floor and he lightly stood on it, looking at Xemnas in disgust and crossing his arms. Once Xemnas was close enough, Sora jumped over the free Keyblade flying towards Xemnas frome above as the lodged one suddenly freed itself and attacked from a lower angle. As Sora spun his body around to land facing Xemnas, he held his wrist with one hand as the other was with his palm upwards an orb of darkness and light forming just over it.
Kaila smirked and made her Keyblade appear, spinning it behind herself as Sora does with one Keyblade in Master Form.
This was her form of a taunt.
She frowned at Demyx, tilting her head slightly "Hey come on, you don't look like someone that would be on their side....Then again, looks can be pretty deceiving..." from what Maleficent had taught her, she had just made a copy of Anti Sora and the copy emerged from behind her,from her own shadow and hovered over her like how the Guardian had hovered behind Xehanort's Heartless. It lifted a claw and then stretched its arms out as if it had been confined for a long time.
This "Sora" had one eye covered by bandage and instead of wearing gloves it had bandages there as well. On its chest was a crystal dark blue and purple heart, the two colors mixed in some strange vortex-like swirl. Its legs at feet similar to Darkside, and as Demyx closed in, its one visible eye shined a bright yellow as it locked on to its enemy.
Kaila tilted her head to the side and then glanced at the copy before she looked at Demyx, going into her fighting stance.
"Alright, let's rock!"
The copy let out some sort of roar in agreement.

Demyx smirked and strummed his situar before lookingup at kaila. " Your right I'm so thw wrong guy for the job. but a job is a job...so lets dance. Dance water dance!!" demyx strummed his situar again as water clones began to form as he played. " Don;t waste time now! keep up with the beat"
Saix smirked at Kairi adn ian before lunging at them. His weapon dragging behind him cuasing a massive wave of sparks before he snapped his fnegers with his free hand he leapt mid air and threw the claymore at the two. Whenhe snapped his fingers several berserkers showed up and scattered around the area. "We won;t fight like we did last time we have a few new things to try out!."
Xenmas was able to block the lower keyblade but stumbled acropss the floor when the other one hit from sora's attack. He turned and began luanching severla magic blasts at Sora . "Its futile you know. we can enver die truly. We have found w way.....to be etrenal......Like this for...example.." Xemnas stood up straight adn seemed to split into three. One in his orginal nobody form the second taking on his armored form. the three stood silienty before speaking in unison. " All shall fall....Light and dark....into nothingness....that...is inevitable sora."

Sora was about to launch his attack, the orb in his hand when he saw Xemnas split into three and he froze. He stared in confusion and the orb in his hand vanished as both Keyblades returned to their master, what was all this about now?! He shook his head and closed his hands into fists so tightly that his knuckles lost color "That's not true!!! I won't let that happen!!!Not as long as I live!!!!" he charged forward, Keyblades hurling forward when he swung his arms out in front of himself.
"Inevitable?! INEVITABLE?! That's what you said last time we beat you!" a hint of anger began to sound in Sora's currently serious voice as it slightly shook. He probably would be able to take two of them on but the third had him slightly worried.
Kaila frowned and rolled her eyes as the copy behind her began to grab at the water clones that got too close for comfort. She swung her Keyblade with ease as she spoke "Wow, is that all you got?" she smiled as she watched the dark creature behind her grab a clone by its arm and slam it against the floor "Water? Please!"
Kaila didn't even consider telling Maleficent of this one Nobody, he seemed completely harmless!

( Oh the chaos >.> I think I'd understand this a bit better if someone explains to me how the Organization came back XP Were they revived, or did someone clone them or what? I might have missed that part question )
Roxas blocked out all of Sikix's words, blocked out the distracting sounds coming from every which way. His only focus was on Sikix and his sword, although Sora's voice penetrated his mental barrier easily- he just felt such a familiarity with it that surpassed just recognition. He heard that hint of anger (which worried the blond a bit, Sora has rarely been very rational when he let his emotions get the better of him) but he couldn't worry about the others right now- most of them were capable fighters, and he needed to watch Sikix closely, too learn of his battling prowess.
Roxas was no stranger to battle, and he saw Sikix's feint for what it was. He twisted around just in time, catching Alondite with Oathkeeper, and batted it aside with the keyblade. He then thrust with his free Oblivion at Sikix as he brought Oathkeeper around in a wide arc to his right, keeping Sikix's blade at bay, preventing the other nobody from parrying the blow. Sikix had only two options Roxas could see- go backwards and relinquish his balance, or stay on the spot and get skewered.
But then Roxas saw a transformation within Sikix, and the energy released forced Oblivion out wide, leaving an opening in Rixas's defences that he quickly covered up with Oathkeeper, but at the same time forced him to jump backwards to keep his balance. Damn this, what the heck is up with this guy?
Roxas once again went into a defensive crouch, not very eager for the fight.
Kenlaux knew she couldn't keep hidden for too long, with the Cornerstone out, Heartless was starting to swarm all over the place, and they were never all too fond of Nobodies.
"Leave me alone you stupid thing." Ken muttered as she kicked away a leaping Shadow, the first of its kind that had considered attacking the seemingly helpless little girl. Kenlaux didn't give it a second look, as the thing bounced half way across the hall before it recovered. It seemed determined to now avoid the corner Kenlaux was in.
But finally, too many heartless were present for Kenlaux to take care of without getting the attention of everyone in the area. Thinking quickly, and looking at the scene, she knew that she did not want to make an enemy of Sora yet- not in his Final Form! (Probably the closest thing she's felt to fear in a long time) But her normal role as an innocent victim wouldn't work here right now, what if Sikix gave her away?
Kenlaux decided to deal with that later, but for the duration of Sora's drive form, she'd best not seem threatening to him or his friends.
She batted one last heartless aside, then dropped her cudgel -its hard to play her part if she's holding a long metal pole won't it?- letting a Shadow Heartless jump on her. She fought her instincts hard (Which was telling her to blast the ugly thing into pieces) and she toppled over, trying hard not to break into a roll to shake the thing off (that wouldn't look very realistic will it?) and she screamed, as a terrified little girl would if some black monsters attacked.
She emerged from the shadows near Iah, Kairi and Saix, and what looked like a closing Corridor of darkness (She summoned that at the last moment, ready to use it to back up the story she has in mind if she was questioned) behind her. Knowing the softhearted nature of the group, Kenlaux knew that they would buy it.

(OoC: Um, its Iah, not Ian, Sikix. =3 )
Both Kairi and himself split up by jumping out of the way from the claymore attack as the young summoner landed on his feet when Iah raised his hand in the air; using this as a chance to strike back. His eyes stared at the Berserkers calmly and he gave a subtled smirk. "So this is how is going to be, huh? Well, two can play at that game!" He shouted as he threw three crystal stones in the air when they began to take form. Three golems he summoned before appeared, one standing by his side, the other by Kairi's side and another infront of them. The golems at their side fought with two of the Berserkers near them while the third focused on being a temporary sheild to block the laser shots given off by Xigbar who was aiming at the entire group.
Once those were being dealt with, Iah charged at the Luna Diviner with a shout as he maneuvered from left to right to avoid any attacks from Saix, using his sword to gaurd the Nobody's claymore. A sword fight would be a good idea, but knowing this, their fight wasn't going to be all fair.
A Berserker moved near Kairi, dragging its weapon on the ground and prepared to strike when the Golem infront of her grabbed hold of the Nobody's arm, barely struggling to knock the weapon from its grasp only when it was able to knock the Berserker back with a shove. Kairi was thankful toward the Golem and she smiled when the girl raised her keyblade in the air and helped Iah by casting Thundera at Saix. Neither Iah nor Kairi were aware that Kenleux emerged near them yet for they were occupied with the battle.
'Please be careful.'
Kairi nearly froze and she shook her head, trying to focus. How strange. She could have sworn she had heard a voice in her head telling her to be careful. It didn't sound like her own yet it sounded familier, gentle but quiet and sad. 'Namine?'Thought Kairi when the name came in mind. Eversince the two fused together, Kairi thought the other gone to sleep when she laid dormant within her Somebody but in a way, she was relieved to hear her Nobody again.

((Ooc: Sikix is a nobody who can absorb the hsuks of defeated nobodies thus gaining thier abilites and the ability to recreate them so yes Sikix is able to revive fallen members as wellas strengthen them. As for Iah guess i've been mis reading ti this whole time my apologies on that one ))
Demyx smirked at Kaila before he stopped summoning 5the water clones. " Sorry boss man gonna show them the new skills....come on everyone lets show them what the Mirage gave us!!" Demyx leapt up slightly before strumming his situar hard/ As he did so a pillar of water covered him for a breif second before it disappeared. The nobodies cloak had changed much like that of the Final Xenmas's cloak except the white parts where a dark blue. " Let the real concert of death begin...." Demyx strumed one string of his dituar cuasing a massive wave to ermge under him letting him ride the wave as he continued to play the instrument. Blades of water would shot out of the wave he stood on as it raged towards kaila.
Saix was enjoying the duel he was in with Iah before hearing Demyx. he looked down att he swordsman before leaping back his body twisting slightly from any blows he couldn't stop as he moved back. Saix called of the berserkers and slammed his claymore into the ground. Saiz roared as he was engulfed in light emrgteing in a gray pattrened coat.It was becoming Obvious now that Sikix was able to power all the nobodies under his control into a similair final form of Xenmas as well as give Xenmas all of his forms to use at once. "Now then....where were we?" Saix sopun around once drawing out a secnd claymore the hovered around him while he wielded the secnd one in his hands. ' For the glory of the mirage". With out hesitiating he charged at Ih for now he was ignoring Kairi.
The armored Xenmas though slower then the other two dodged Sora's attack letting the other two use thier barreir to halt Sora's advance. "Worthless fools....you can;t stop us this time." The first form of Xenmas began to move around sora in his black orb attacking sparatically while the armored Xenmas brandishing a huge sword was attacking for the ost part. Xenmas' final form would warp around now and then as he shot off a few blasts at sora when he thpught it was best.
Sikix stared down at Roxas bringing up in his free hand a energy blade making the two even in duel wielded weapons. " Roxas.....to think if the master wanted it you would have been mione long before Riku stopped you. If you hadn;t betrayed the organization when you did our plans would have gone off without a hitch. But alas they didn't. Don;t worry though I'll bring you under the fold and let you serve the master forever....Now surrender yourself and give yuor powers....let me have the power of the keyblades!" Sikix dashed forward spinning around like a top as he closed in on Roxas. Once he stopped he would duck down and swing his right leg upward trying to kick Roxas under the chin in hopes of sending him airborne. " Give the Order the power to destroy all!!!"

((That's it, its time that I go all Mewtwo on these Nobodies >D ))
Too much going on at once, attacks coming from all sides, he was boxed in and yelles in pain as the attacks struck him. The two Keyblades tried to put up a strong defense but could not keep up with the barrage. They suddenly stopped as well as his yells and his eyes went blank, his body loudly slamming onto the floor while his eyes remained open, staring to the side.
He lay there for a long time, but just like it seemed that he was done for, the others should have realized that he still remained in Final Form. A pulse of energy shot out from his body and he suddenly shot up, floatin in place. The azure color of his eyes were gone as they were replaced with a bright, pale hue. He held his hand up towards a Heartless that had thought to take advantage of the fallen Keyblade Master....Then shut his hand tightly into a fist.
The Heartless exploded into a cloud of darkness.
He glanced over at Xemnas and narrowed his eyes, the two Keyblades slowly rotated behind him but did not move fom their spot. They seemed to be acting as a hold for wings. He stared emotionless towards Xemnas and when he spoke, his mouth did not move, it was telepathic and could be heard within everyone's minds.After Sora's own voice, there was after-echoes shortly, all saying the same thing
"That is enough..... I want you all out....NOW."
He held his arms out and aother pulse resulted, intended on taking out the lesser Nobodies.
Kaila stared wide eyed and tried to jump out of the way, she was not able to dodge all of the blades though. The ones that struck her made her flip backwards then have to regain herself. The more she tried to dodge, the slower she got until she had practically no energy left. The copy suddenly appeared infront of her, holding its arms out as a deffensive barrier. Being struck continuously by the blades made it turn back to its original form: The Guardian Heartless. Despite the seemingly endless waves, it remained on guard, protecting its new master.
Kaila glanced up just in time to see Sora struck down, she felt herself go numb, but after what seemed forever, he rose again and something about him became inhuman.
She couldn't tell what, but it was sure scaring her, the Guardian seemed to notice as well and turned its head to look at the Keyblade Master.

(Ooc: Its fine. @Lina: =3 Its fun being able to post at school. I did it several times before.)
'Oh great. Guess after all this, there will be one less to worry about.' Or so Iah wanted to believe when Saix tranformed into a final form with another Claymore hovering behind him. But that didn't force Iah to step back and the moment the Nobody charged him, Iah did the same as his hand turn the blade over to the other side. Both blades clashed and the young man got them both in a struggle, trying to keep his balance as his feet moving slightly. His teeth clenched and his eyes twitched a little with a small glare as Iah focused on Saix. 'Come on, Iah. Don't let yourself get knocked back..'He thought to himself furiously. He knew that Kairi and his remaining summons were fighting the Nobodies but he wasn't sure if that would last if he tired himself out and lose energy. What if he couldn't defeat Saix? He was a Nobody afterall and last time Iah checked, the young summoner barely lay a scratch on the lesser Nobodies he fought in the Courtyard. No he can't have any doubts now, not like this. It would only be an advantage taken on him by the other.

(Oh my gosh! I missed so much!!! AIYA!! Keeran hates being ignored -.-")
Keeran hated the fact that Sikix had gone to do battle with the nobody Roxas and had completely ignored him. Keeran ran at Sikix from behind since he was distracted and he swing at Sikix with his sword, "Thundara!" Lightning gathered around the sword and as Keeran swung it, it, went flying towards Sikix. "It's rude to battle someone else when your already in a battle!" He shouted angrily.

(Woot! Go Sora, squish the little buggers XD! It looks like this battle might take some time, just remember to try not to let it drag on for too long everyone, or the role-play's gonna die. One thing we really need to decide is which side's gonna back down. Someone's either gonna have to get killed or be forced to retreat, or this'll last forever >.>)
Sikix's words confused Roxas, before sorting through his memories. Riku? That was Sora's friend, the silver-haired one...
Wait! It had been Riku who had attacked him, twice, successfully capturing him the second time! He had spent his last few days as himself in Twilight Town before he had fused with Sora. Since then, it was just a blur of memories, a word here, a flash of colour there, nothing he could really make out.
Roxas tried to block out Sikix's words, although he couldn't help but be troubled by some of them. The Master? Give him the power of the Keyblades?
"You know what? You talk too much!" Roxas told Sikix, holding both keyblades in a defensive position, ready to brace himself against the other nobody's newest attack and counterstrike.
Both nobodies were forced to jump out of the way as a sword crackling with electrical energy landed right in the middle of them. Roxas took a quick side glance, seeing Keeran advancing on the battle. Roxas wasn't too sure if he should be worried or relieved. While Keeran seemed to be an ally, Roxas couldn't be certain. But then again, the newcomer had just left himself weaponless.
