The Rise and Fall of Pixie!

Dust, Kuro, Kikora and Sky

Dust nodded to Amber, it sounded like a good plan before he could speak up about it though Kikora walked up and looked among them all. She gave a soft nod to them before speaking.

"I can sense the spilling of blood. Give me a moment, I will tell you where the battle is, if it has started already."

She closed her eyes and waited, sensing for the spill of blood. After a few minutes she opened her eyes again and spoke once more.

"The 1st Kingdom. That is where most of the blood is being split so it looks as though the battle has already started. I'd advice we go as soon as we are able. I know someone who can help us when we're there, I'd like to think we're very close."

Kuro quickly looked back at the woman, how had she known what they were talking about, but more importantly his Kingdom was under attack. He ran to the middle and called over to Sky.

"Sky, send everyone to the Nekolá now, it's under attack."

He stood back and focused on his magic. Kuro had learned the ways of magic over the course of two days very well. He knew some powerful spells. He created a portal which led to his Kingdom then looked to Sky.

"Before you ask, Kikora can sense the spilling of blood so she knows there is an attack going on my Kingdom."

He jumped in without a moment of hesitation and Sky nodded quickly.

"Everyone, through the portal. We must save Kuro's Kingdom before it falls."

She flew in followed by everyone else.

When they arrived they all saw the destruction, heartless were everywhere. Kuro rushed forward and began to fire out spells, sending out huge fire blasts to vaporise the weaker heartless immediately. Although as he did the heartless turned their attention on the new comers. Several wolves surrounded Kuro, attacking him with dark energy blasts, trying to wrap and trap him but Kuro was quick, teleporting away when he needed to. While Yoruichi who by now knew of the future like Kuro did stood by him. She had learned to use her own magic. She held up a strong shield protecting Kuro from the heartless while she send powerful Psy beams at them to keep them away.

Sky was fighting a group of gorillas. They were powerful, able to control and manipulate the dead and right now that was a lot of people but Sky was stronger. She too was able to control spirits. She held out her hand and closed her eyes.

"Lend me your power, so I can avenge your death."

Her hand glowed and slowly she drew her sword. As she did the sword turned pure white with the magic of the Neko Spirits. She slashed at the gorillas, killing them instantly. before turning around and sending a burning white sword slash at another group of heartless.

Meanwhile, Sekhemi and Sabertooth were side by side. Sekhemi held his two golden knuckles bashing and smashing any heartless he could see with flaming fists of fury. If a heartless was strong he'd beat them into submission. Sabertooth changed his body to grow claws as touch as diaomond and cut his way through the heartless like butter.

Kikora was there too side by side a girl who was secretly herself. She had used magic to split herself in two that way she was still powerful but she took out the heartless twice as fast. She slashed at the heartless, one with fire and the other wind, feeding the fire and making it grow. This killed the heartless with ease.

Rogue watched as the heartless approached her all in a group. She held up Night Terror as he glowed darkly. Several heartless screamed and spoke in their own language while they launced their attacks upon her but Rogue was too powerful for them now. Night Terror glowed with a blinding light using Rogue's magic then Rogue slashed through the heartless. They were shadows and all shadows were weak to light magic. Rogue still didn't care about this group no the reason she thought was for her own entertainment.

Dust however did not fight. He watched as everyone else fought and slowly waded through the heartless. He looked around slowly, he was surprised that they attacked this city instead. Things were changing and it was getting hard to predict what was going to happen now. Still, he hoped things hadn't changed too much. In the future Kat led the heartless to the attacked and he hoped Kat was here again and still conscious. He looked around until he saw him just laying out of the way watching his own kind be slughtered. Yes, he was definately conscious. He walked over to him and as he did Kat stood up.

"Don't worry Kat, I won't hurt you. My name is Dust, you can trust me."

Kat opened his mouth to speak before closing it and tilting his head slowly. He stared at Dust for a few minutes then opened his mouth to speak again.

"How do you know my name? Even I hadn't named myself yet, but Kat was one of the names I was thinking of giving myself."

Dust leaned down to him and gave him a small smile.

"I'm from the future, though that you will have to keep to yourself. Listen, you may be a heartless but you have morals. I know I can trust you now show the others that you can be trusted. Help us fight against your kind, stop this violence."

Kat stared at him before giving him a soft nod. He looked to the little neko again before pressing a paw against her skull. With that the neko became crushed in the shadows and darkness until it became nothing but dust.

"I won't allow anyone to become one of us. Not here."

He looked to Dust who gave a soft nod. With that Kat got himself up and walked forward. He gave a loud screech of warning, forcing all the heartless to stop what they were doing and turn to him. Then he pressed a paw on the ground and with that the ground shifted and the shadows began to form something.



Kat gave a loud battle cry and with that the monster ran at lightning speed, cutting up most of the heartless then jumped into the air and slashed down at Cerberus with burning blue fire. Cerberus roared in fury before sending three huge explosive dark blasts at the creature although with lightning speed it dodged out the way. Kat had full control over it, and with all his eyes he could react without a problem. Several heartless tried to attack Kat directly but he jumped out of the way. As he did a rune appeared on the heartless's chest and with that, they blew up into nothingness. It was clear Kat was far stronger than these heartless. He just hoped this was enough prove that he no longer wanted to be one of them.

The Rise and Fall of Pixie!

Rogue

Rogue rolled her eyes before stepping up once more. She just wanted these damn questions to be over with so they could get on with more important things but apparently Amber wanted to waste time in asking questions all night. She had even answered some of the questions already.

"Like I said, I have no intention of helping Pixie. If she attacked you now, then it's not my concern. I don't care what happens to her or you. Neither of you have threaten me or my kind however if you did begin to threaten us, then I would attack you but like Isabella told you, it's better to have me as an ally than an enemy. Give me a reason to actually care about your existence."

She stood back again as the crytsal did nothing but glow.

Pixie

Pixie stared at Amber, her hands clenched in anger. How was she meant to answer these questions? They were impossible for her, or anyone who worked with her. She stood back for a minute as everyone stared at her again.

"You know what, forget it. There is no point in joining a group who has no trust in anyone. It's clear you're in charge Amber, not Sky. Besides I crushed the crystal. All I'll say is you're losing a powerful ally."

She turned around and left. So much for inflitrating them. She gave a small shrug, there had to be another way to gain information from them, but how? Perhaps she could use one of the elves. They didn't seem to care what happened. They weren't working with her or Amber. She nodded, but it would have to be another time. She couldn't do it now. When Pixie left Amber spoke again.

"Now we know there are no enemies hiding in our mists we can finally start the meeting. Sorry Sky for taking over for a while there."

With that Amber stayed quiet so the meeting could start.

Dust

Dust watched as Pixie left, he gave a soft nod. Amber had made a good way to stop anyone from betraying the group. It wasn't perfect though, that much he knew. He looked to Azriel before looking back to Amber.

"We should rest up for the night, then we can do some training in the morning. We all need to learn to use magic that will help us all grow stronger. Amber, since me, you and Kuro have got the best grasp on magic right now, we will be mentoring everyone else. The swords of Elysium can help too."

He looked around noticing most people were nodding in agreement before beginning to walk away. It was late and he knew Amber was tired and needed to regain her energy. There was no point in training until everyone was well rested.

Sky

Sky looked around as everyone finished answering the questions. Lilith had left but even she had her suspicions about her. With the way she was answering the questions she didn't trust her, not at all. She looked at Dust as he spoke then watched as he began to walk away, before she did she spoke up.

"No problem Amber. You were right to test everyone's loyalties. Everyone is welcome here, including Rogue and her followers. As Dust said we will rest up for now and do some training tomorrow, before this meeting comes to a close though I would like to make an announcement. Amber, Dust, you two hold the two most powerful swords of Elysium. You both have shown knowledge and power. You are both loyal and brave. From this moment on, you two will be 1st and 2nd commander of the Nimbat army, as well as this group. You will both advice me and help guide me to victory against Pixie. Now, everyone rest up. There is a inn just up ahead where you can all stay for now."

She nodded and flew off and with that everyone split apart and began to head to the inn to rest. It wasn't long until morning had come and as promised Dust, Kuro and Amber had helped everyone train. Everything was quiet for now. Soon enough, it had been two days since the meeting. Everyone had trained constantly and the progress was going well. When morning of the third day arrived Dust approached Kuro and Amber while they were together and spoke quietly.

"Amber, Kuro. sometime today a monster called heartless will attack the 6th Kingdom. They are created from the darkness and corruption. It infects people and kills them slowly then turns them into these monsters. They are created from Pixie's hate and anger. All they know is to destroy and kill, completely mindless. What's worse, with this virus anyone of us could get infected and we wouldn't know about it. Luckily, I'm immune so long as I'm alive."

He looked around at everyone before looking back to Amber and Kuro. Kuro had nodded softly as he listened. When Dust had finished he spoke up again.

"Right, so did you ever find a cure in the future? Something that could stop the spread of the virus? Maybe use your immunity as a cure?"

Dust shook his had softly before looking up to Kuro.

"No, there is no cure that we know of however there is heartless who can become aware through sheer determination. As long as they hold on to their emotions, their memories of their past life they can become conscious but we have no control over that. Two in perticular will join our group. There was a heartless in the future called Shadeling, she was studying the heartless for a long time before she died and later become conscious as a heartless. For a moment she thought she had discovered a way to stop the heartless infection but Pixie killed her. Perhaps this time we can save her, although first we need to find where she is hiding. If we do save her though we can't mess with history. She must become a heartless first."

Kuro nodded for a moment listening to Dust before speaking again.

"Conscious heartless, sounds interesting. If we can recruit Shadeling she might become a powerful ally. What do you think Amber, what should we do with the 6th Kingdom, and about Shadeling?"

He stared at her for some time waiting on her answer while she did Dust looked to Ahrah who glowed.

"We met Shadeling in the afternoon today when we were in the future. Then the very next day we discovered Pixie had killed her. If we are to help Shadeling, it has to be today."

Dust nodded before looking back to Amber to hear her opinion on the matter.

Sky

Sky was flying about making sure everyone was doing what they were meant to be doing. She stay didn't know of the future, not yet anyway. She looked over to Dust, Amber and Kuro who were talking among themselves and Sky wondered if she should go over. After debating for a minute she decided against it and continued to fly around the city. Everything had been peaceful, too peaceful. It worried her, they hadn't seen Pixie in a while and the dark corruption was spreading more and more. They needed to take action and soon."

Pixie and Midnight

Pixie was flying around the dark forest, she was quite pleased with herself. The entire forest was corrupted and had even corrupted several villages and towns. She could feel power coursing through her. She flew towards Midnight, Daybreaker and Nexus as well as the rest of the dark Nimbats and gave them a small smile.

"We're doing well. We're growing stronger by the second. The corrupted darkness is spreading faster than ever now but we're not strong enough yet. I want each of you to go attack as many small towns and villages as you can. Spread the darkness as far as possible, kill everyone."

She smiled and with that everyone spread out. Midnight flew towards a large village and landed in the middle of it. She opened her wings and with that, black toxic gas began to spread across the whole village while everyone panicked. They were all idiots, didn't they know screaming and panicking would only make them breath more of the toxic gas in? She turned to hear a cry and saw a small child looking for his mother. He was in the thick of the toxic gas and she knew it was too late for the child. It made her wonder, why was she doing this? For power, but why? What would she need power for when everyone who threatened Pixie was dead? Was there really a need for all this suffering and killing? Slowly Midnight lowered her wings and stared as the entire village was now covered in her black toxic gas. She had killed an entire village, and what for? Slowly she shook her head and flew off. Normally she would go to another village and another, but why? As she flew over she watched the villagers die one by one. Midnight sighed, landing on a building. She was meant to be loyal to Pixie, to her mother and she was but now she couldn't help but question why Pixie was doing this. What was the point in all this death other than to gain power? She looked up to the Sky, not bothering to move instead she stayed where she was as she pondered on her thoughts.

Terra

Terra was currently in the dark forest. The corruption and spread far too close to the Elven Kingdom and Terra wanted to check what this darkness did to the environment, how it changed everything. As she walked around she looked at all the dead or withering trees. The grass was black and she noticed that nothing was living in this area. Did that mean that elves couldn't live in it either? If that was true then she would have to stop Pixie. She had heard of a group not far away within the City of Nimbats. They were all planning to stop Pixie. Perhaps it was best if the elves joined that group now although, there was something about this darkness which she liked. The magic within it was rich. She could feel power coursing through her. If there was a way to turn this darkness against Pixie, then maybe this darkness wasn't all bad. She held out her hand and attempted to use her magic to control the darkness but nothing was happening.

"It isn't mine to control. If only it were possible, this corruption would be the ultimate weapon."

She sighed and leaned back against a tree for a few minutes until an idea popped in her head. Maybe there was a way to control the darkness, to manipulate the corruption. She closed her eyes and focused on the magic within the dark corrupted forest, she allowed it to flow through her until she could feel it through her fingertips. Then she slowly opened her eyes and began to raise her hands slowly. As she did the darkness around her rose and swirrled. Terra gave a small smile, it was possible. All she had to do was train.

Kikora

Kikora was always in and out of the group, never revealing her true identity. She didn't trust them enough for that yet. She walked among the group slowly, spotting a few people talking among themselves. She looked to Dust, Amber and Kuro as they spoke and paid close attention to their lips from a distence. She had learned to lip read years ago, so she knew what they were all saying. As she read their lips she gave a soft nod. They were talking about heartless and the future. She stared at them before looking around. Did anyone else know about this?

Kat

The heartless had been created and were spreading the darkness like wildfire. Pixie had noticed them not long ago. She had tried to give them orders but they were all mindless. They only followed each other and they knew only how to kill and destroy. The heartless were growing in number rapidly when the first few heartless were created. More and more animals were being infected and soon enough even humans were being infected. Most of the heartless were mindless, however very rarely, there were heartless who were able to hold on to their memories, their emotions, their mind. Kat was one of them. When he died and become a heartless all he ever knew was clouded darkness covering his mind. He couldn't think for himself, he had felt trapped. He didn't feel like himself, it was as though he was being possessed. Though when he finally became conscious the clouded darkness disappeared. However the situation he had 'awoken' in wasn't much better. He looked around slowly as the heartless raced on. There were many of them, more than he could count. Most of them were the common heartless, wolves monkies, bats, mice, scorpians, even some gorilla. There were the most common of heartless too, the shadows. When he watched them they seemed to run with a purpose but they were all mindless. He had felt that feeling, he never wanted to go through that ever again. Suddenly he became aware that all the heartless had stopped and turned to him. Damn, all this time, he wasn't acting like he was one of them anymore. One of the heartless screeched and screamed at him in their own language, luckilly he still knew it despite being aware now.

Before he could answer though the leader stepped up, the heartless called it Cerberus, the three headed wolf. All three heads stared at him before speaking in their heartless language. He had to think what would a mindless heartless do at this point, then he realised something. A mindless heartless wouldn't think. He had to do something, he had to act fast. Quickly he screeched and spoke back in his own language. After a moment the heartless spoke again and he stood back slowly. He couldn't believe his own ears. It wanted him to take over as leader, it wanted him to lead them. Did it know he was conscious? He stared at Cerberus, his gaze questioning but all the heartless seem to wait for his command. With a moment of hesitation he asked them where they were headed. When he answered back he gave a hesitant nod. They were headed towards the 1st Kingdom. Magic was strong there, so it made sense. Slowly he took the lead. He had no choice, all the heartless were waiting on him. He could feel their gazes burning into him. They wanted to kill, they wanted to destroy. He was worried that if he turned them all back now, they would kill him. He had no choice, he had to lead them to this kingdom. He ran slowly towards the kingdom, aware that the other heartless were following, screeching and screaming their battle cries. Was it normally to feel wrong about doing this? Was it normal to feel guilty? He shook his head and continued to lead. Before he knew it, they were charging straight into the Kingdom. At that moment the heartless began to attack.

Kat just slowed down to a walk as he watched them all. Nekos were running around while the heartless slaughtered them. He could barely watch, why couldn't he stop? He then felt it, the urge to join in. The urge to kill and destroy. Until now, he was mindless and he hadn't truly felt the feeling of killing something so helpless. He watched as Cerberus ripped apart several Nekos and destroyed the Kingdom with ease. Kat looked away, he couldn't believe he was going to do this, but he had to. He just had to feed the urge just once. It was then he saw a young neko girl and Kat forced himself to stare at her. He stepped towards her slowly, every step hurting him as he did. The girl was frozen in fear. When he stood in front of her he rose his paw and with a single swipe, his paw turned on fire and slashed the neko girl. She had fallen to the floor, he had killed her. He stared at her corpse before looking away.

"What did I expect? I can't do this. Not anymore."

He watched as the heartless was destroying the Kingdom. For the first time, he felt the murder he had conmitted on his concense. He had probably killed hundreds of innocent people by now, but now he was aware. He could feel again and right now all he felt was guilt. He was a monster. He had to make up for this. He couldn't allow anymore death or destruction to happen after this. Not anymore. Slowly he fell to the floor, his guilt was eating away at him as he stared at the mindless heartless who ravaged the kingdom. He led them here, it was all his fault. He laid his head on his paws, not being able to turn away his gaze.

@71452K It's cool. I don't understand it but I like it. You're a cool person, I can tell.

@71452K Honestly, I'm joking. I find it very amusing actually. I know a lot of feminists who would probably get offended with something so stupid and silly as that but those kind of people get offended other everything.

It's extremely hard to offend me. I also like your avatar. It's....well I don't know what it is. It's weird and strange. I like it, it's rather cool actually.

The Rise and Fall of Pixie!

@PharaohAtem Also I've realised something, that song works much better for Shade than it does Teal. Not only does Teal have any real emotion like Shade does, but he still has the skull on his head which works for the "Made of teeth and bone" Although the only way the "Sold my soul" part works is that he works for Pixie but even that doesn't really work. Other than that it's kind of perfect.

The Rise and Fall of Pixie!

@PharaohAtem Yeah, I'm posting now. I'm about to do a time skip since it would be about midnight now at the very least. That'll allow me to bring in some heartless.

@Zelosse Haha, you got me. Well done sir, well done.
