Oh Gawd... double posting on my own fan-fic... oh well I guess in can't be helped.lol
Okay here is the new chapter. Hope you all like it. ^_^
Roxas was starring into the gun metal black abyss of space from the cockpit of his V75 Shadow Caster class fighter. His thoughts were interrupted by Demyx as his voice crackled over his helmets headset ear piece.
“Hey keep your eyes up front! I may be your partner but I’m not going to baby-sit you on this mission. Do you understand or do I need to repeat myself?” Demyx shouted sarcastically over the headset radio.
Roxas flipped to radio silence. He saw Demyx pull up to him, shouting and making motions with his hands of what he was going to do to him once they reached Hollow Bastion. Roxas gave him the finger and pulled in front of Demyx. He was going to be the first down on the surface.
Roxas pulled into the world’s ionosphere. The heat coming of his ship was so hot it was easily visible. It flaked off the impurities of the fighter as Roxas crossed deeper into the world’s inner stratosphere. As Roxas pulled into a steady glide a few thousand feet above the round a voice blasted over his headset.
“This is Leon commander of the Hollow Bastion defense force. You have entered restricted air space; you will be escorted away from the inner city or be shot down. Please comply.”
As the man finished his transmission two Gully Spark fighters pulled up alongside his wings. The men inside motioned with their thumbs for Roxas to pull down to the runway below. Roxas pulled back on the throttle hard making the Gully Sparks over shoot him and fired at their exposed six o’clock. Roxas shot a rocket straight into the Gully Spark on his right engine, sending it spiraling into the airfield below. Roxas barrel rolled to his left and fired at the last Gully Spark. He hit it twice in the tailfin and once in fuel pipe; the ship caught fire and spun out of control towards the ground bellow.
“That’s it you little asshole, if you want to play like that then will play!” Leon screamed at Roxas.
Roxas looked down at the airfield and saw the towers both in the airfield and city sprout anti-aircraft turrets. They fired up at him with out hesitation and with out mercy. Roxas went in low and zoomed through the city. He flew above the main streets in the city, using the buildings for cover. Roxas saw on his scanner that three more Gully Sparks were coming up on his six. Roxas fired at one of the skyscrapers; the weakened building collapsed under its own weight and crumbled into the street below. Roxas was rewarded with one of the red dots on his trace scanner going out. “Two more,” he thought as he pulled a hard right at an intersection. His vision faded for a few moments as the blood in his head rushed to his knees as he pulled back from the turn. Roxas had lost one of the Gully Sparks but the other one was coming up on his tail, he needed to shake him or he was as good as dead. Just as Roxas was about to start praying he heard a girl’s voice over his headset.
“This is Yuffie of the Hollow Bastion defense force land you craft now and we will go easy on you.”
Roxas pulled back on the stick hard sending his V75 Shadow Caster into a climb, the Gully pilot following after him as he did so. The G-force pulled at his skin and made his vision fuzzy as he cut the ship’s engine. As he had planed the Gully over shot him; he fired up at the Gully’s tail pipe. The Gully served out of the way at the last minute as Roxas took his thumb off the trigger. “Hmm… she’s a good pilot. But not good enough!” Roxas thought as he executed a flying scissors on his opponent. Roxas missed on his first pass but got the Gully in the side wing in his second pass, crippling it. Roxas saw the crippled vessel leak hydraulic coolant as its pilot ejected from the cockpit. He caught a glimpse of her as she drifted down to the street below. She had a headband on over her jet black hair, and wore a tight shirt, shorts, and knee high socks. She starred up at him with angry eyes as she hit the ground. Roxas flipped a switch and turned towards the direction of Castle de Bastion.
As Roxas pulled in above Valley de Bastion he heard a strange sound; it was a high powered P15 Rocket. Before Roxas could maneuver out of the way or even identify his attacker the rocket hit. It irrupted as its nose his right wing, spewing bits of metal through the Shadow Caster’s windshield. Roxas screamed in pain as a mixture of glass and steal flew into his eyes. He clawed at his eyelids as he steered his ship towards an exhaust pipe that he thought was an entrance to the castle. The ships tailfin broke off as it connected with the top of the pipe. Roxas crashed down onto the castle floor sending chunks of his ship everywhere. Roxas kicked at what was left of the windshield as a stray spark started a cockpit oil fire. He threw himself out his broken V75 and landed on the hard metal floor. Roxas rushed over to an exposed dripping water line and washed the shrapnel from his now bloodshot eyes. As Roxas pushed the heavy door to the main hallway open a warped computer voice blasted from a less then perfect audio system.
“Intruder detected, activating defense system.” The voice said as spikes and columns shot out of the walls and floor.
“You gotta be shit’n me!” Roxas thought as he jumped up and landed on one of the columns. He leaped up the rest of the columns and rolled into the next room. “Oh my God!” Roxas yelled as he looked across the heartless filled room. With out hesitation the heartless pounced on their new pray; clawing and slashing at the air as they fell back to the ground. Roxas pulled Oblivion out of the air and charged into the crowd of heartless screaming war cries as the heartless clawed at his exposed face. “What have I gotten myself into?”
Demyx sat back in the chair of his V75 Shadow Caster. He thought he would let Roxas clear the way for him and then swoop in and get the goods. Demyx closed his eyes and hummed a tune to himself as he thought of what Roxas must be going through right now.
“Get off of me! Oh God get them off of me!” screamed Roxas as the heartless bit him on his legs and arms taking out chunks of skin with every bite, and clawing at his eyes with no mercy.
“Hello, is anyone in here!? Hey is anyone in here!?” said a voice somewhere far off in the distance.
“Help me whoever is there get them off me… please get them off me!” yelled Roxas as he kicked a heartless away from his leg. “I’m over here!”
“Oh my God!” screamed the voice as gunshots ran out in the room.
Roxas punched a heartless in the face as the strange man took out the rest with his hand gun. Roxas looked up at his rescuer as he helped him to his feet. He was a short man about five feet nine inches and wielded a 32 caliber hand cannon peacemaker. The man handed Roxas a potion which Roxas downed in a matter of seconds.
“Are… are you okay son?” The man asked in a kind voice.
“Yea… Yeah I think so.” Roxas stammered.
“God damn what you doing in a dangerous place like this son?” the man asked as he looked over Roxas.
Roxas thought for a second. He needed a good excuse to tell the man; he was healed but he still was not up for a fight. “I… I’m looking for my… friend. His name is…” “Terra,” a dark voice in his head said “His name is Terra. Have you seen him? We just got here and our ship crashed out in the valley.”
“Sorry son I haven’t seen him.” The man put out his hand “My name is Miska by the way.” The man said as he shook Roxas’s hand. “What’s yours?”
“I’m…” “Ven,” said the voice again, “My name is Ven.”
“Ah… like the war heroes.” Miska said.
“Uhh… yeah like the war heroes.” Roxas said in a voice just loud enough to be heard.
“That’s nice, not too many men travel together these days. They all think that they will kill them and steal their munny. I never carry munny on me. Most places take gill charge cards anyway.” Miska said laughing to himself. “Come on we’ll look for you friend together.” He said with a smile on his face as he holstered his gun.
Axel walked down to Namine’s room with a present hidden behind his back. He knocked on her door. Axel didn’t have to wait long before Namine opened the door. He had been surprised that the other members had let Namine have a room of her own. But ever since they had gotten rid of the last person to have that room no one had put anything it. Axel smiled as Namine squealed in delight as she saw the face under the hood. It had been a few days since they had gotten to Castle Oblivion and since they got there they had not seen much of each other. Axel had either been away scouting out Sora or helping Marluxia prepare for the inevitable visit with Sora. Marluxia had visited Sora just the day before and laid the seeds for his arrival. Namine had been locked in her room until Sora comes and only he and Marluxia could talk to her. Axel pulled the present away from behind his back and handed it to Namine.
“Here,” he said “I thought how bored you have to be and I thought this might help.”
Namine took the bow and paper off and saw that it was a big notepad and a pencil. Namine’s face lit up as she flipped through the pages of the notepad. Finally she had something that she could call her own and Axel had given it to her.
Axel smiled “I took you for the drawing type.” he said half laughing. Axel was met with a hug from Namine. She wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him lovingly. Axel blushed a shade of red almost as vivid as his hair as she did so.
“Thank you,” She whispered “I love it.”
Axel smiled and hugged Namine back and kissed her on the top of the head as he brushed her golden blond hair. They stood their in each others arms until their legs got tired. Soon Axel broke away from the hug; he laid his hand on Namine’s head and ruffled her hair. He was rewarded by the cute laugh that he had missed so much. They hugged one last time and said goodbye. Axel remembered that moment so vividly because that was the one of the last times that he would see Namine that happy.
“Are you sure this is where you thought you heard his voice son?” Miska asked as Roxas led him into the main chamber.
“Yeah… I’m positive.” Roxas responded. “Just a little more time,” he thought “Just a bit more time and I’ll be fully recovered and I can kill this fool and get the chambers.”
They made their way into the final room of the castle and that’s when Roxas saw the heart chambers. His nonexistent heart sunk into his stomach as he noticed that all the chambers were broken. Smashed the glass and bits of steal were everywhere. His first mission was a complete and utter failure.
“What, what happened here!?” Roxas said his voice unable to hide his anger.
“Oh this here is the aftermath of Ansem’s defeat.” Miska said in a confident and happy voice. “God awfully man he was. The reason I came back here is together my work. Ansem had enslaved most of the scientists to make his many ships for his armada and machines.”
Roxas’s face brightened.
“What… did you work on here Miska?” Roxas asked as he heard the nocturnal hunter heartless returning from the shadow now unafraid of Miska and him.
“Oh me? I worked on these babies right here,” He said as he laid a hand on one of the heart chambers. “I picked up the blueprints just before I met you Ven.” He laughed as he patted the heart chamber.
Roxas smiled an evil grin.
“So you have the designs on you right now?” He asked in a deep voice.
“Yeah… why?” Miska said now curious of Roxas.
“Oh nothing… my father worked here too,” he lied “’cep he worked on the outer defensives. That’s why I came here to live with him.” Roxas said saying whatever came to his mind to try and throw Miska off about his true intentions.
“Oh poor fella I heard that job was terrible.” Miska said as he turned his head back to the entry way. “Hey was that the heartless?”
Roxas bent down and picked up a broken steal pole “Yeah I think it was” he said in an eerily calm voice.
“Well come on son we had better…” Miska was cut off as Roxas jammed the pole through Miska’s right hand.
Roxas grabbed Miska’s gun out of its holster as Miska screamed in pain. He turned the gun towards his former comrade and shot him through the left shoulder and his legs, making him defenseless against the oncoming heartless onslaught. Roxas picked Miska’s bag off the hard metal floor, checked it for the blueprints, and slung it over his left shoulder. He laughed as he lightly slapped Miska on the cheek.
“Thanks for getting me the designs Miska,” he laughed “Now bye-bye Miska.” He said.
Miska turned his head up at him as Roxas made his way over to the window.
“Wait” He screamed “What about your family Ven? What would they think of you if they found out about this!?”
Roxas turned his head and laughed manically.
“My only family is Organization XIII, and they will praise my name when they find about how well my mission went!” Roxas cheered as he sat on the windowsill. He leaped down and grabbed on the windowsill with his hands, his feet dangling below him. “Oh and by the way,” Miska turned his head and looked at him with dazed eyes. “My name is Roxas!” Roxas screamed as he pulled himself back up on his feet, jumped backwards, grabbed Oblivion out of the air and sunk it into the castle wall as he fell. He slid down the side of the wall; the only nose was Miska’s screams of pain and pleads for Roxas to come back.
“Please stop… don’t!” His cries stopped after one last loud bloodcurdling. The only nose that followed was the munching of flesh as the heartless tried to get at the man’s dead heart.
Roxas reached the bottom of the castle in only a few short minutes. He spotted a small level one class gummi ship. It was big enough for three people and could easily fit him and Miska’s bag. “Hmm… this must have been abandoned in the fight with Ansem.” He thought as he closed the cockpit windshield and installed the organization friendly credentials onto the craft. “This won’t stop Demyx from shooting at me but it should prevent me from being shot down the second I get into Organization airspace.”
And with that he took off and headed back to Nobody Castle.
Wow I bet that really wasn’t what you thought was going to happen on Roxas’s first mission. I hope you like the chapter. This has been a bowchickawowwow production.
Great job as always.
