Re:Organization XV
The World That Never Was, black and abysmal, the dark city skyscrapers contrasting with a stark white castle hovering above them all. Each blackened tower, almost trying to reach up to the inhumanly geometric architecture, stood in silence. There was lack of sound, lack of life. Only the Heartless, the strange beings acting on instinct, blindly looking for hearts they would not find here. Those streets, lit up with street lights and glowing windows, housed no populous. Nothing about the world seemed real, and was something like out of a dream, or perhaps a nightmare.
It was one of those odd days in the world, when the bizarre atmosphere allowed for a thunderstorm. Lightning flashed, but there was no sound to follow. Erie, alien weather. Even the rain, as it created puddles on the grey concrete streets, collecting at the curbs and flowing to storm drains, made but a inaudible hissing as it made contact with the ground rapidly. It poured like little waterfalls into the sewer system below, probably making the loudest noise that would dare echo across the world for a good while-
Bzzzzzzzaaaaapppp
Or not.
Underground, a series of spacious sewers crawled around city blocks and weaved between buildings. They were normally very silent, the sewage drifting without any noise, and maybe some moonlight or neon signs shedding some light down below. This night, however, the tunnels were illuminated by epileptic purple lights, phosphorescence that was in fact concentrated and amplified and super-heated. In other words, laser beams, lots of them, being fired upon two people in black cloaks. They ran pretty fast, with the female of the two, Kinxu, in the lead. She could see a faint column of light in the distance; a manhole cover that had been lifted off when they descended earlier. This was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission, but they knew of their presence, somehow.
There was another flash, bright light building up behind her, and Kinxu could see her shadow stretching in front of her as the attack homed in. Immediately after she felt a hot slice at her shoulder, and the smell of smoke and burned leather whipped up unto her nose. A section of her arm was on fire- a laser had nicked her well. Infuriated and eager to make a final stand, she turned swiftly mid-step, and sweeping her arm over the murky water to her side. Her abilities gave her control over it. A stream of water jettisoned itself up, and whipped in a long, horizontal line. The assailant stumbled backwards with a loud, cracking splash. Kinxu smirked, and conjured up another stream. The Nobody that was running alongside her stopped as well, and in an icy cloud, summoned his own weapon, a blue javelin.
Their attacker recovered, brandishing two intimidating guns that attached to his arms. They whirred and clicked as more shots were charged up. The male Nobody jumped, and sent a flurry of sharp hailstones at his opponent while he was vulnerable. The weakness didn't last long, though, and he raised both arms, two bright laser blasts launching from both. Kinxu jumped to the other side of the sewer, her water following here, and narrowly missed another, much more fatal burn. She ran a few feet to synchronize her movements with her partner, watching him begin his own charge as his ice projectiles were reduced to water by the hot light. Kinxu whipped the water again, hitting him in the face this time, letting Cyolx strike at this critical moment.
Xynras, their now bumbling enemy, whacked at the lance with his arm, almost completely covered in the metal his strange weapons were made of. The lance bounced off, but before Xynras could deliver a follow-up attack, Kinxu lunged, slashing at his neck with her extended claws. They were her weapon; crystalline talons extending from each finger. The attack succeeded, and her partner regained his stance quickly enough to drive his weapon into their opponent's gullet. The large man roared in pain, then collapsed, fading away in a sparkling array of dark energy. A light show to celebrate their victory on the extremely powerful assailant. They stood, nodded to each other, and made for the meeting place at the end of the sewer.
The rain, coming through a nearby drain, drowned out the clinking of chains as they flew through the air.
The Nobodies definitely heard some sharp, slicing sound after the chains had rattled though. One of them felt it more. Kinxu checked to see why her team mate had stopped so suddenly, and he was very clearly illuminated by a neon sign that shone through a storm drain. A long, strange blade was protruding through his chest, at least a foot. She looked in horror as a much more evident series of clicks reeled the chain, this blade was attached to, back in. the Nobody coughed and spluttered before he disappeared into the darkness behind them. The was a few more of those sickening, stabbing sort of sounds, then silence.
Then, footsteps.
Kinxu blinked, trying to see beyond that blot of light that was being let in. She thought she saw some figure, and took that as a signal to strike.
Diving into the blackness, her claws unsheathed themselves to their fullest extent, and they clashed with the blade covered in icy blood. She desperately tried to follow the glint of the metal in the faint light, but it moved faster than her eyes could keep up with, let alone her hands. At one minute point, she felt panic, and less than a second later knew it was a mistake. Out of nowhere, she was whipped herself, this time with something metal. It struck her cheek and sent her roughly to the left, where the sharp edge of the blade was waiting for her. It sliced, drawing blood, nearly killing her. The next blow did.
Her body slumped backwards and started to fade immediately. The Nobody that had defeated her, though, leaned down to inspect the body. He didn't have much time, as what wasn't evaporating into black smoke was melting- trickling into the sewer to his side. It didn't take much work, though. His mission was done moments later, while Organization XV's had failed.
