Origins 2: Forgotten Bonds

Will growled in anger, acting like he was tensing to kick the man off, but Willy spoke in his head. "Think. He is on top of you with six spears bearing down on you. There has to be some sort of power you have to knock him off." he hissed, reminding that Will was not using darkness. "I have to say... you have me here, but I still have a few tricks!" He barked, slamming his fists on the ground, making darkness explode outwards from his body, knocking the spears and Xaldin away. Will rolled backwards to his feet and summoned his two keyblades.

 

Will gripped the nobodies close, using them as shields, the beam destroying them and knocking him back to the wall. He landed shakily on his feet and called his blades to him. "Not... not bad... How about.... we call... it even..." He panted, trying hard to stay on his feet and slowly walking towards Xaldin. He grinned shakily. "Not bad... at all... proves that we both have the abilities to stand... now I believe... I was to have a word... with Selena..." He groaned, almost dropping to one knee before catching himself, using his blade as a prop.

 

Will smiled, speaking to Xaldin like an old friend. "Please. If you kill me these wretched voices end and my misery is finished. A higher torment would be for you to leave me alive..." He breathed. "You kill me and I become human once more..." He sputtered, pulling Xaldin's boot to the ground and kneeling in front of me. "I am week from lack of feeding... I can not fight anymore. It is your choice to show mercy and end this curse, or let me live as a monster..." He breathed, showing humanity for the first time since Jordan left.

 

Darian looked at Devlin.

"Now watch."

Darian then turned his attention back to the memory. Darian watched as listened closely as he heard Xemnas offer Devlin to join him.

Darian couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he knew he wanted to know more about what was going on.

"Show me everything..." Darian murmured as he eyes were focused on memory Devlin and Xemnas.

 

Will eyed him coldly, no spark in his eyes. "I... don't care..." He breathed. He looked at him before clasping his shoulder. "I thank you. Before if you would have let me live I would have said I owed you something. But now, I could care less if you died. I could care less if Selena, Angel, Virgil... any of them. If they died I would shrug and walk away..." He breathed. He looked over towards the other room. "I have business." He breathed, pushing past Xaldin and heading towards Selena.

Below in the streets a separate entity was flung from the castle, landing in the courtyard of Memory Skyscraper.
When the being hit it hit hard and loud, almost like an explosion. When dust cleared the man started to stand, one eye black as night, the other a bright neon blue. The long blond hair was now black, falling into the man's face as he lifted a keyblade from the rubble, one with a black blade, bandages circling the large blade and handle. "I want back in... I want to be whole..." It breathed, looking back up at the castle with a wicked smile.

 

Selena summoned her keyblade at Xemnas.

"I'm sorry but that can't and won't happen." Selena said. "If you're referring to Cole, maybe but only that of true darkness can actually remove the darkness. And yes the void whatever you wish to call it. I know precisely what I need to do, but you know something, Xemnas, tell me." She said holding the keyblade up for combat when suddenly Virgil appeared to her left.

"Virgil?!" She exclaimed shock seeing the darkness.

"It's as I said. I'm not going to be there soon Virgil, let Ashley be your guarding light just like she helped you with your father. Let her guide you, accept her. There's going to come a point where I'm not going to be there, I'm going to die and that will not change." She told him.



As Saix and Marluxia were observing the strange cocoon in front of them it began opening as Angel fell out and fell into Marluxia's arms clearly weak.

"Lu..." She whispered laying her hand up on his cheek as the memory visions she experienced in the past all of them but the last one she couldn't remember began to flash through his head before fainting. She needed rest.



Violet smiled but it wasn't what she was quite referring to as she slowly ate her food.



Ashley stepped back looking at him worried.

"I'm sorry Deimos..." She whispered looking at him feeling it was her fault. She was clearly upset and worried.

 

Selena gripped her keyblade hard before facing him.

"You won't, you can't, you never were able to! Look at you, I'm getting to a point where I'm close to falling, you come near me and you will fall and you shouldn't and won't! Don't fall to the darkness, you have a chance, take it, I don't. This was bound to happen from the beginning. I love you, that will never change and that is why it is the way it is. If you come to me I will fall if you don't come to me I'll fall but I'll have a chance to get rid of Jordan. Quit making this so difficult and accept the truth, Virgil. Why is that so hard for you to accept?! Good bye, Virgil." She reached her arm up hand smoldering in darkness casting him out and away before turning to Xemnas.

"Now where were we?"

 

Will turned, eyeing Xaldin. "Fine. But I still have my business with her." He calmly breathed, striding towards the door.
Will pushed the door open and looked around, deciding that he would have to speak to her later. "I guess I will go see Jordan then." He breathed, stepping into a portal into Jordan's throne room, sitting down in the throne to await his friend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man sprinted through the streets, avoiding all the heartless that were trying to follow him. "We need to go offworld, he has left! If there's any chance for us to reconnect with him it would be at Jordan's Stronghold!" One voice barked as the blade slashed out at a few heartless. "You think I don't know that? God... now I understand why Will found you so annoying!" Another growled back, almost venom-like as he slashed through more heartless. He sprinted down the alley, away from the spot where he landed.

 

Will calmly breathed out before stepping forward, entering the portal and following Xaldin, boots clicking heavily behind him. "As you wish... superior..." He breathed, eyeing Selena and Xemnas. He knew he needed to speak to Selena but now he understood why. He looked at Xaldin. "Will any of my missions have anything more to do than keep you alive?" He asked, almost like a student would ask a teacher.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The man finally sprinted into a dark alley and into a random portal, dumping him onto a new world. The new world was dark, yet bustling. "Traverse Town... it's been a while. We can lay low here at Will's old room..." He breathed, striding off towards the hotel, the stench of darkness emanating off of him as he pulled the scarf over his face, his eyes the only thing showing between the thin strands of hair. "Well... I know the place from Will's memories. I believe this is where he first started my conception, correct?" The other asked, causing William to just growl in irritation.

 

The little rattles had stopped playing in the water and decided to go explore again, heading towards the nearby hotel, luckily it was only a few feet away. He melted to the ground so he wouldn't scare anyone and melt into their shadows. He crawled under the door to the hotel and crawled around on the floor, looking for a shadow to hide in.

I really wish someone would play with me... Shadow thought to himself as he looked around, temporarily back in his regular heartless form and looked around, Is anyone here?
