"...Then what's the use in doing this?" Jaxine asked confused. If they would reappear anyway, why defeat them?
Yet before she could think about it, weird looking Heartless appeared. Ugh, those didn't look cute at all! "Makes them easier to kill." She thought to herself as she saw Xemnas fighting the things. Jumping at one herself, she slashed at the thing. Although she still had a lack of experience and skill, this seemed to be the only way to learn.
Xigbar turned to Axel as soon as he got their mission. He wasn't planning on leaving yet. "Just going about everyday's business. How 'bout you?"
Lars nodded and went through the portal. When he came out, he was surprised at first. He couldn't feel his legs anymore and felt like he was floating or something. As he moved his body to look down at his legs he noticed he didn't have them anymore and that he was underwater. He was a merman now. With a dark blue fin and a bare muscled chest. Although his muscles weren't that big. They looked just fine.
Lars also seemed to be able to breath here. "Fascinating..." He said to himself, surprised his voice worked.
Larxene glanced around the place. Drunk males were everywhere. It was impossible to stay unseen here, and luckily, they never questioned outsiders on Tortuga, the place they were now. Some drunk male went up to them, "He' 'here, wa's a love'y lady li'e you doin' 'ere?" He asked the female while still holding a bottle of rum. "Get out of my sight!" She shouted at him. "Playin' hard to get, eh?" The man asked as he was about to touch her face. Yet she grabbed his arm and broke it, kicking him right in the stomach as she did so. She then glanced down at Xathere, "That's how you have to deal with men! Now come on, we don't want to waste any time!" She began to walk off into a random direction, leaving the audiance laughing. They were used to this behaviour from MEN! Not women.
Zexion mentally rolled his eyes. That was kind of obvious. He didn't notice the odd structure? The leader bords? The statues?
"Anything else?" He asked calmly, not showing his frustration with the boy.
Allayx watched the bluenette open a portal for them, and obviously wanted her to go first. Without hesitation, she walked through into a new world, whatever world it would be.
Marluxia stood still for a moment, knowing Heartless sometimes took a short while to appear. And he was right, within a few seconds a Powered Armor appeared. Not the most convenient one to fight, yet with the right teamwork it would be easy as the thing split itself up. "Summon your weapon." He ordered Shaxirma as he stretched out his arm. Pink flower petals appeared at first, accompanied by dark tendrils, which soon turned into his scythe. He didn't care others found his powers lame as he knew better.
"Xiggy?" Myrthe chuckled, "I'd call him scarface!" She had no idea if it would be seen as an insult, but the male looked like one who could handle jokes.
Smiling up at said male, she said: "I'm Myrthe, nice to meet ya."

Xemnas didn't answer Jaxine's question, fighting off the Heartless. She jumped in. Her fighting techniques were a bit clumsy. He probably should have shown her some melee fighting before throwing her on a mission. Jaxine could make it through this. Then they would practice.
One Heartless was already down. Xemnas moved onto another one, this time being less vicious. Jaxine had to do most of the work, after all.
“The same.” Axel said casually. They didn't have to get right on those missions. They had all day to do them. Nothing to worry about. He winked at Myrthe. “Jiggy Xiggy.”
Hataxn was confused. They had a mission to go to, but Xigbar was in no hurry. Instead, he wanted to talk with Axel. His apprentice was very perky, for a Nobody.
Vexen grunted. Not one of his favorite worlds. He came from behind Lars, crawling along the floor on multiple small legs of his blond lobster tail. “Are you ready to continue?”
This world did take some getting used to. The loss of legs, the fake freedom from gravity – most who came here were baffled at first.
Not there for long, and Larxene had already taken someone out. Xathere hurried after her. The men here were more unfriendly than the Organization. And the few women she did see did not look friendly at all. Xathere kept her eyes down as she followed her leader. Whatever it took to not be noticed.
Noticing the clouds out of the openings in the walls, Nechax pondered it. “Either we're really high up on a mountain, or we're on a cloud.”
That was not logical at all. Then again, nothing had been logical for the past few days.
On the main island of Neverland, Saix closed the portal behind them both. “Let's make this quick.”
He had once seen a couple of boys running around the area. They reminded him too much of the past. Saix was not one for reminiscing. He did not want to see them again.
After a moment, an Artful Flyer appeared. It flew around around them, diving down at Allayx.
Shaxirma's black katana appeared. It was very long and thin. She charged forward, not caring how thick that armor seemed to be. She aimed to get it finished quickly.

Jaxine wanted to slash at the thing again, yet it suddenly disappeared. "Wha--?" She was cut off by some claws grabbing her from behind and bringing her up in the air. This attack hurt and she began to feel tired as well. Trying to get out of the grasp, she looked at Xemnas with a "please, help me?" face. She was not prepared for such an attack, although it saddened her to go down this quickly.
"Or Xigbar. But jiggy Xiggy would do." The Freeshooter chuckled at the girl. "Seems like you got a lively one, Axe."
Myrthe grinned at this. She only really met the kind ones so far, and they seemed to like her as well!
Lars turned around to see Vexen as a ... lobster?! He had expected the other male to be a merman as well! He couldn't help but let out a soft cuckle, "Excuse me, master. I didn't expect this sudden change of... body." How else to call it?
"I suppose I'm ready." He answered, although he had no idea to move around with a fin. He'd be tempted to use his arms instead, although that wasn't a logical way of swimming as a merman.
Larxene kept on walking, "Hurry it up. You don't want to be kissed by some kind of random guy, do you?" She shot glares at whoever dared to look at her, male of female.
Eventually they reached the sea with a few pirate ships in the haven. Yet no Heartless to be seen anywhere. "Saïx should've given us more details. How in the world are we going to find that thing?!"
"Look at what's closer to you. Your direct surroundings." Zexion instructed as he couldn't help but sigh. It was going to take a while to teach this boy about recon. "What can you tell me about the way the people live here? Their culture?"
Allayx glanced around the new world. Lots of nature, no people to be seen anywhere. Yet suddenly a weird looking creature came at her. Heartless, she noted. Probably their target. She jumped out of the way, rolling on the floor sideways as she had no idea how to make a nice dodge roll. Her hood had fallen down, yet she didn't care. The girl got up immediately and summoned her Keyblade, ready to fight the thing.
What she didn't notice was that Darkness began to radiate from her body the moment she made her weapon appear.
Marluxia was glad with the determination Shaxirma was showing and followed after her, jumping at the thing and aiming for its head, the most fragile part of this Heartless. When he noticed the thing began to attack he jumped out of the way, glancing at his apprentice to see if she would notice it as well. Else she would be hit by the claws of the thing.
(( Aww, Jaxine is not good in combat. xD Although that's logical as she has never been trained. And she isn't perfect either, right? x3 Daddy has to go safe her.~ (As he probably knows how fast those Heartless can drain health.) ))

Xemnas looked away from his target to see how Jaxine was doing. Trapped. He flew over and slashed at the Heartless a few times. Jaxine needed better reflexes, or to watch everything around her. He would have to teach her both.
“Yes I do. I lucked out this time. And I thought I was on Xemnas' bad list.” Axel laughed. Xemnas had no idea what kind of mistake this was. It would bite him in the butt later, when Myrthe knew more.
“Yes, well, we all can't be that lucky, can we?” Vexen snapped resentfully. His tail flicked. He was not that good looking. Although his tail might have been large, Vexen's upper body was rather thin and frail looking. Looks deceive.
“Follow me.” He scuttled along the floor.
Xathere practically ran after Larxene. She almost ran into her when the older woman stopped at the haven. She had no idea what they were doing. All she wanted was to get out of there, and curl up somewhere safe.
Nechax focused on the statues before the doors. They wore armor, and had spears. “These people like to wage war?”
Probably.
Saix stood back and let Allayx do all the work. He noted the Darkness radiating from her once the Keyblade was summoned. Interesting. Did Xemnas know of this? Saix probably had to report it.
The Heartless flew in the air, seeming to mock Allayx by staying in one place.
Being rash, Shaxirma had not noticed the claw until it swiped her away. She fell to the ground. Wincing, Shaxirma quickly pulled herself up. She was not going to show weakness in front of Marluxia. Moving back, Shaxirma waited for an opening again.
((Daddy to the rescue!!!))

Jaxine fell back down on the ground, a bit exhausted. It felt as if her energy was being drained. This wouldn't stop her though. She summoned her weapons again and faced the Heartless, one slash being enough as Xemnas had already hurt it a lot.
When Xemnas had come to help her though, she noticed he could fly. She didn't know that? How did he do it?
"Ha, you're probably the only one who could deal with her! And take the blame for brutality." Xigbar laughed, although he knew what the redhead meant.
Myrthe jokingly rolled her eyes, "I'm not that bad!" She then looked at the boy who had been silent the whole time. "Hey, you haven't introduced yourself yet! What's your name?"
"I suppose not." He didn't like the shouting, but how the male looked made it all better.
"Yes, sir." Lars nodded as the lobster that was his master began to... walk into a direction. He tried to swim after him but found it rather hard to stay at the same pace, occasionally having to stop as he was going too fast, or because he leaned forward too much and made his way towards the ground instead of forwards.
"I hope you're good at sneaking in. We're going to join those pirates." Larxene sounded annoyed at this idea, but they had to if they were going to leave the island in search for the Heartless.
She made her way towards one of the pirate ships and got on board, making sure no one saw her. Pirates had a nasty way of dealing with stowaways. Although, she could be nastier.
Zexion shoke his head. "Then how do you explain those leaderboards?" He gestured towards the ones behind them. It would be much easier to tell the boy what he saw, but that wouldn't teach him anything.
Allayx saw she wasn't going to get any help with this. Saïx was probably going to watch and test her power and skill. Didn't he do that yesterday? Well, at least she got enough combat training.
The girl noticed the Heartless wasn't going to come at her, but he was too high for her to hit, even if she jumped. At this, she pointed her Keyblade at the thing flying in the air and concentrated. "You've done this before... come on..." All of a sudden, a dark power came from her Keyblade and a ball of dark energy went towards the Heartless rather quickly.
Marluxia chuckled to himself. He shouldn't forget she had never engaged such a Heartless before and probably wouldn't know about its attacks. Excellent. She would get a lot of training in this fight.
As soon as the thing ended its attack, The Graceful Assassin charged at it again. Heartless were often vulnerable for a little while after they striked. This was to regain power for their next attack. They didn't know it would get them killed.
(( Yaay, Allayx is making progress. xD She should just watch out she doesn't lose control. ;3 ))

Xemnas kicked off of the Hover Ghost once Jaxine was free, doing a flip in the air and twisting around to attack another Heartless once he landed. There was one more left. Jaxine could take care of that one, hopefully without getting herself caught again.
Axel rolled his eyes. “At least she's got the guts to stand up to Xemnas. Let me guess, you got a goody-two-shoes?”
He doubted anyone else would do what Myrthe had already done. Especially Xigbar's apprentice, although he looked like he could stand his ground pretty good.
“Hataxn.” He was hoping to be ignored, honestly. He was in his own thoughts, which had been disturbed by Myrthe. How could she act so lively?
Vexen had his arms crossed as he walked, ignoring the fact that Lars was considerably faster in water than him. Once they left the cove, three Screwdivers appeared. Vexen's shield appeared in his hands as he blocked the first attack.
“Don't just sit there!” He snapped back at Lars.
Xathere slowed as she walked up the bridge onto the boat. She eyed her surroundings warily, before running after Larxene. How far away was this Heartless? How long until they could return to the Castle?
Nechax turned around to look at it. “They compete in athletics?”
He was just guessing at everything, although most was too obvious. It was going to be a long day.
The Artful Flyer was hit. It fell out of the air, landing on the grown while stunned. Saix watched in satisfaction. He had gotten a strong one, at least. Most apprentices didn't do this well so early.
Following Marluxia's charge, Shaxirma swung her katana at the Heartless. Strange that its appendages weren't connected to the body...

Jaxine's eyes widden at Xemnas' agility. She didn't know he could do that! Yet before she was able to say anything, the Heartless appeared behind her, which she noticed this time as she wasn't in surprise of the thing disappearing. She jumped around and slashed at the thing a few times, not sure what else to do. It eventually disappeared.
Letting her weapons disappear, she turned to face Xemnas. "I didn't know you were so agile..." She admitted a bit surprised.
"She did what?!" Xigbar asked a bit surprised. A newbie that dared to go against Xemnas on the first day! That was something new. "I suppose you could say that." He answered to the redhead's question.
"Cool name, Hataxn!" Myrthe said happily. She had no idea why he was so quiet though. Was it something she said?
Lars was surprised at the sudden appearance of the Heartless, when Vexen snapped at him again. "I would love to join you, master, but you haven't teached me yet how to summon a weapon of my own." He sighed and held his hand in front of them, yet as expected, nothing happened.
"Hurry up!" She whispered angrily at Xathere. The pirates were already gathering on the ship and they couldn't be seen. The Savage Nymph found a suitable hiding spot behind a few tons and knelt down. "Ugh, why is this deck so gross!" But she knew that being seen would ruin the mission completely. Someone was going to feel her wrath though, once they got home!
"Almost." Zexion nodded, although it took the boy way too long. "They battle each other here, to see who is the strongest." He explained, then pointed towards the big building in front of them. "That is the arena. The big doors are the entrance."
Allayx was happy to see the thing fell on the ground, somewhere she could reach it. She ran over to the thing to make sure she was in time to do some damage and hit it with her Keyblade a few times. She wasn't skilled though, but she didn't care about that at the moment. All she wanted was for the thing to just die already! Little did she know that the Darkness was giving her more strenght than what was normal for her.
The Heartless soon began to move again, Marluxia jumping out of its reach as the attack repeated itself. He hoped the thing would soon be weakened enough and split itself up so they could destroy the claws and feet.

“And I was not aware that you lack fighting skills.” Xemnas finished off the last Heartless. He turned to Jaxine. No others appeared. Perhaps a quick lesson, then they would move on to other parts of the world. This couldn't be the only infested area.
“Exactly.” Axel ruffled the girl's hair. “She's a tough cookie.”
Hataxn shrugged slightly. He grew up with the name, so he did not gain a new name like everyone else. Probably for the best. His name could have scrambled into something hard to pronounce.
“What?!” Vexen shrieked, looking back at Lars. The Screwdiver took a stab at him with its spear. Vexen flew backwards in the water, landing on his back. He groaned.
“Stupid boy! It comes naturally to you! Focus, you insolent child!” They were back to square one.
Settling down next to Larxene in their cramped hiding place, Xathere looked up at the grey sky. Did the sun ever shine here? Judging by Larxene's tone, going back to the Castle wasn't a good option either. Xathere had no where safe anymore.
Zexion must have stated the rest of the information of the area. Nechax heard something from inside the arena. Cheers?
“Is there some competition going on now?” He asked.
Taking a lot of damage, the Heartless kicked off the ground and got into the air again. One more hit and it would be done.
Saix frowned. Allayx's techniques suddenly seemed more brutish. Now she was just hitting the thing, instead of killing it properly.
Learning from last time, Shaxirma dashed away from the Heartless as it attacked. She tried staying to its back, where it couldn't see her. Backs always seemed to be a good vantage point on enemies.
((Evil Larxene!!! XD I love her so...))

"I'm sorry." Jaxine looked at the ground in shame. "No one every taught me anything and as a Somebody I was a peaceful person. I never fought." Explaining to him why she couldn't fight, she hoped he wouldn't take it too bad. Then again, she couldn't help it, right?
"But... I'm a quick learner?" She looked up at him again, wondering if he agreed.
"I can see that! Although perhaps not the brightest!" Xigbar laughed at his own joke, while Myrthe shot a teasing glare at him. "I'm pretty smart!" "Sure you are, smart enough to displease the boss man and survive!" Xigbar liked this new one, although he wasn't sure how long Xemnas would want to have her around. She didn't act like she could be of any use except for entertainment!
Lars frowned at all the insults. Would he ever do anything right? He was here to learn, after all! Not to be able to do everything already.
So he focused as he was told, closing his eyes for a moment. The weapon appeared, although he was stabbed by a Screwdiver the moment he wasn't looking. He also fell backwars onto the bottom, but quickly got up. He just couldn't help examining his weapon first. It was a dark blue Bo Staff, the same color as his fin, with the Nobody symbol carved into both ends of the staff.
The pirates were all on deck, and the captain gave them word to sail off. Larxene was disgusted by these men. They looked ugly, smelled horrible and lived on theft. And then the money they earned was all spent on rum! She was glad to have never lived here, and if she had a choice she would set the boat on fire using her powers over lightning. Perhaps she'd do that once they were done. Would be fun.
"I suppose so." Zexion nodded at the boy. "How about we take a look inside?" It would be safe if everyone was inside the arena and not in the entrance hall. He began to make his way towards the big doors, not expecting his apprentice to point out anything else interesting about the surroundings.
What he did notice, was that the Heartless population seemed to have lessened in this place. Else they would have been attacked already. Or he would at least have smelled a dark scent.
Allayx frowned as the thing went into the air again, rasing her Keyblade to shoot another blast of Darkness at it, killing the thing for good. A heart floated upwards as the Heartless disappeared, and she just stood there for a moment, thinking the whole battle over.
Lowering her weapon, she panted. This had used a lot more energy than necessary. Only now she realized the Darkness surrounding her. "This is not good. Why can't I prevent this from happening?" She thought to herself as she turned to see Saïx' reaction.
Once the attack was over, the Heartless' head fell onto the ground, open for any attack. Finally. Marluxia went over to it and performed a combo on it, dealing a lot of damage to the thing.

Xemnas' thoughts were undetermined from his facial expression. He wasn't displeased. The day before, Jaxine seemed to do alright fighting guardians. Hover Ghosts were just a little more difficult.
“You cannot eliminate enemies by flailing your weapons around. You must take aim for the vital regions.” He explained. “Try attacking me.”
“She learns fast.” Axel boasted, like he had shown Myrthe how to annoy Xemnas himself. Though it wasn't true. Axel wasn't nearly as bad as he tried to make himself out to be – sometimes.
“What's taking so long?” Vexen was back up and defending himself against the Screwdiver. He threw a chunk of ice at it, stalling it some. Sure his shield had spikes on it, but it wasn't that useful as an offense. Lars had to do all the work on this mission, too.
Xathere peeked at the large mass of men on deck as they were ordered around by the captain. Hataxn used to read stories all the time as a child about pirates and other adventurers. Those pirates seemed nicer than these ones. These ones probably didn't use parley.
Thinking of her brother, Xathere wondered how his mission was, and if his master was as demanding.
Nechax followed Zexion to the door. They were just doing recon, but where were the Heartless that the Organization so detested? He was under the impression that Heartless were like rats. Everywhere.
Allayx already seemed spent. Saix acted unimpressed.
“That isn't the only Heartless here. You'll have to search for more.” He informed. She wasn't going to get it easy. She had a lot of energy to burn yet, he was sure. Especially with the Darkness radiating off of her. Strange... For a Nobody. For now, it was useful.
Shaxirma couldn't get an attack on the head. It was a small target that Marluxia covered. However, she attacked the body, having her suspicions that it was still a threat.

Jaxine nodded although she actually didn't want to fight or hurt him. So when she tried to stab his tummy she stopped halfway, pulling her arm back and looked down at the ground. "I can't." She said sadly. It wasn't that she didn't want to learn, she just couldn't hurt him!
"I'd love to see that." Xigbar smirked as he looked down at Myrthe. "Why not teach her something right now?" Hey, why not?
Myrthe grinned, "Challenge accepted!" Knowing Axel, for as far as she did, he'd agree to it anyway.
"I apologize, master." Lars was back up and swam towards one of the Screwdivers and hit it with his Bo Staff. He wasn't sure if it would deal a lot of damage. A staff was less offensive than something like a sword.
After being on the ocean for a while, Larxene got impatient. "Why do boats take so long to arrive at some kind of destination?" She hit the barrel in front of her with one of her Kunai knifes, noticing some kind of alcoholic drink coming out of it the moment a hole was made. "Ugh..." She groaned to herself. This was not her day. She almost even forgot she had an apprentice next to her.
Zexion walked inside, and to his displease there was actually someone in there. The faun that had trained Roxas into some kind of hero. At least, that's what they called those people here.
"I've been waitin' for you, little guy! Where 'ave ya been?" He walked towards Nechax. "And who's that other guy?"
"Of course, master." Allayx gave him a nod and turned around to search for the other Heartless. Not that she liked the idea of having to fight more. Sooner of later she'd lose all control she had and would act like a merciless killer. It happened before. She's here to learn to control it.
The Powered Armor soon picked up its head, yet then the body split just as Marluxia had hoped. "You take out the feet." He told Shaxirma as he went to his target: the claws.

“You won't hurt me.” Xemnas said, pulling out a couple of potions from his pockets. Although he was powerful, he was not dumb. Jaxine didn’t have any on her, and she would probably need one the next time they found a swarm of Heartless.
“Now try again.” He placed the potions back where they were.
“Are we showing off our apprentices?” Axel liked the idea. Myrthe would cream Hataxn! “What do you have in mind, old man?”
Xigbar wouldn't like that nickname. He always insisted he was young, after all.
Inside, Hataxn did not want to waste time competing against Myrthe. But he didn’t show or say his thoughts. Whatever Xigbar wanted him to do, Hataxn would do it. Eventually he would get to go off on his own.
The Screwdiver flipped backwards from the attack. Vexen backed away, letting Lars take care of all of them while he watched. The Heartless swarmed around the boy, taking stabs and whatnot. Vexen was sure he could handle himself in that situation.
Xathere ducked down when she was almost caught by one of the men. Worst yet, Larxene's mood was getting really bitter. Xathere didn't remember what their mission was by now. She didn't dare to ask. She would probably get smacked again.
“Huh?” Nechax looked between the... really short man and Zexion. Who was that guy talking to? The boy had no idea what was going on. The Organization was supposed to remain hidden.
Saix followed Allayx, so that he could always see her. Soon enough, two more Artful Flyers appeared. They dove at Allayx together. Saix backed off. This was turning out to be a very productive day.
Shaxirma did just that once she saw the body disassemble itself. Although much of the time was spent dodging the stomping. She got a few good hits at it.

Jaxine let out a sigh but nodded again anyway. If he said so, she had to trust him. "Lets do this..." She thought and prepared herself for an attack. Within seconds her blades were dashing towards Xemnas' tummy again, the girl trying to forget about everything and just fight to please her father.
Xigbar wasn't happy to hear that name, but he sure knew what he was going to ask: "How about a little face off between the two. Lets see who's more useful and stronger in battle!" He smirked, "Unless you have another idea." Knowing it would look like chickening out of a fight wasn't like Axel, he was sure the male would accept.
Myrthe just seemed a bit surprised. "I don't want to fight someone I just met! Can't we just see who defeats the most Heartless? That'd be lot more fair!" Really, she didn't want to actually hurt someone.
"That's fine with me too! Whaddaya think, Flameolocks?" Xigbar asked teasingly. Both ideas would prove who's stronger, after all.
Lars frowned at being surrounded by the Screwdivers, not sure how he was going to dodge all of those attacks. Staying still obviously wouldn't work. He blocked one attack with his Bo Staff, noticing another coming at him from behind. He focused hard and Heartless was pushed away from him. He really had some kind of power, didn't he?
"Onwards, men. We want to find that treasure chest first, don't we?" The captain screamed to all of the pirates.
Treasure chest? Good. "At least we're going into the RIGHT direction!" Larxene mumbled while slashing the barrel again. She needed to have something to do, someone to hurt! Not to just sit here and wait!
"Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, boy." The faun nudged Nechax' leg. "We should begin trainin' immediately!" He began to walk towards the entrance. "What was your name again? I'm Phil."
Zexion glanced down at Nechax, "In case we are being discovered, act like one of the inhabitants of a world. In other words: go along with what he says."
Allayx jumped backwards out of the way, tripped and fell down. She didn't leave it at that though, no, she rolled onto her stomach and jumped up. Clenching her Keyblade tightly in her hand, she glared at the two Heartless. "You're no match for me." She said as she jumped at the things in anger, slashing down on one of them.
Marluxia had been able to take out one of the claws before they returned to the body. He glanced into Shaxirma's direction just to see she was still standing and fighting. Very good. He had gotten a very useful apprentice. He smirked to himself. If Xemnas only realized his mistake with giving him someone to train.

Obvious move. Xemnas grabbed Jaxine's wrist and held it up high in the air. Had it been anyone else, he would have continued to twist her arm until it popped out of her socket. This was just practice.
“You must remain spontaneous and move faster than your opponent.” Xemnas released Jaxine's arm. “Again.”
Axel glanced at Hataxn. Yeah right! Myrthe might have been a quick learner and all, but she'd probably get her butt handed to her. Sure he might not have been as strong as Lexaeus yet, but he was capable.
“Y'know what? We both still got those missions to do. I like the Heartless queue count better.” Axel answered. That way, it would be like getting two birds with one stone. And as a bonus, Saix wouldn't ride them for being lazy. “But you can't help him out, Xigbar!”
After all, it had to be fair.
Vexen noticed something about Lars. Something no one else in the Organization could do. He swore he saw Lars move Heartless away from himself. Without touching them! Well now, Vexen was intrigued....
The Screwdivers were also taken aback. But then they resumed their stabbing and swiping.
“Do we need the treasure chest too?” Xathere asked quietly. She didn't care if she got an answer or not. Larxene would probably scream about stupidity. They had to stay quiet so the men wouldn't find them. Although their ale was slowly leaking out onto the deck. Someone would notice the mess...
“Nechax.” He said, leaving Zexion behind. Nechax wasn't sure if splitting up this early was a good idea. He had no idea what he was walking into. He knew this was bad as it was.
The Heartless split up, going in two different directions in the sky. The one that had been hit by Allayx fell to the ground, as the first one had.
Something about Allayx was puzzling. Saix noted anger in her attacks. She was supposed to be a Nobody with no emotions. Perhaps she had beserk rage, like Saix. It wasn't a true emotion. Just the heat of the battle brought it on. But these were easy Heartless to defeat. Nothing to lose herself over.
The boots returned to the body. Shaxirma took a moment to back away and regain her composure. She had nearly lost her grip on her katana from swinging it so much. She gave it another moment before attacking the body.

"Like I'll ever be faster than he is..." Jaxine thought to herself as she jumped up to hit his face with a sidewards slash. She hoped he wouldn't see that coming, as hitting it right would probably heavily damage him.
"As if! I wouldn't cheat in a thousand years!" Xigbar lied with a grin. Opening a portal towards Deep Jungle, he said: "You have until four this noon. May the best apprentice win." He then walked through, ending up in the middle of the jungle. "Lets find those monkies!"
Myrthe looked up at Axel with a smile as soon as Xigbar was gone, "Thanks, bro. I wasn't really looking forward to hurting someone."
Lars wanted to kick the thing in front of him but realized that he couldn't. Instead, he hit it with the Bo Staff, not sure these attacks were even hurting the Heartless.
He twirled around and hit two more Heartless, aiming for what he thought was the most fragile spot on their bodies.
"OF COURSE WE DO, LITTLE BRAT!" Larxene screamed so loudly everyone could hear her. She scratched Xathere's arm with the knife she was holding, then jumped up as pirates came to look what the heck was going on. "Great, now you blew our cover!" The Savage Nymph stood as the captain spoke: "Well, well, well. What do we have here, men? Some fine woman, eh? Stowaways."
Larxene shot the man a glare while another pirate went to grab Xathere. In her head, the woman was already planning on simply killing the captain and taking over the ship for now. Why not? Their presence wasn't a secret anymore anyway.
Zexion teleported into the arena, using his power over illusions to make sure no one would see him entering, or just him being there.
The faun took the boy into the arena, where some barrels resided. "It's quite easy boy. Just destroy as many barrels as you can within the least amoun' of time. You get points for every barrel. Understood?" He didn't even wait for a reply. "Begin!"
Allayx began hitting the Artful Flyer that fell on the ground relentlessly. The fact that she got angry at herself for showing anger wasn't helping either. After a quick combo she jumped backwards to catch some breath. "Calm down, Allayx..." She said to herself, not sure if she wanted Saïx to hear it or not. It would be so much easier if he knew about her secret so he could train her accordingly. The girl just couldn't control the amount of Darkness in her heart.
Marluxia slashed at the body a few times, noticing it was going to attack again. He jumped backwards as his gaze fell on Shaxirma who was about to fight the thing again. Lets see if she'd be able to retreat before the Powered Armor could begin its attack.
