Re: Fate of A Hero
Day 61
The First Test
Part 4
"Xane, go!" Akira and Xane split up, Xane going to the left, Akira to the right. They both sprinted, gaining great speed as the antilion charged for them. Xane looked uncertainly to her side, looking for her cue. Akira looked at her and nodded, a prepared look on her face. They prepared their weapons, crossing them, then extending just as they reached the heartless. They hit it straight on the head, making it lose twenty five percent of it's hp. Akira slid to a stop, same as Xane.
"Heal!" Akira shot a green beam of medicine at Xane, drowning her with it. Xane nodded in thanks; her blade began to glow green again.
"We need to bring it down!" Akira shouted, pointing at the monster as it now grew higher and higher, a tornado protecting it from any attacks. Boxes began to fly out of it's forcefield. Xane began to dodge them as Akira hid behind a rock.
"But-" Xane jumped out of the way. "How?" Xane ran for a rock, then looked back at Akira.
"Hm," Akira looked at the antilion as it looked for them. "Lighting?"
Xane grinned. "My pleasure." She stood and aimed at the antlion, and Akira copied.
"LIGHTNING!" They shouted, and lightning strikes came down upon the tall heartless. The forcefield dissapeared, which meant that it was at it's limit!
"Akira!"
Akira turned to look at Xane, her hand out at her. Akira hesitated, then ran and reached for it. As they grabbed hands, they twirled around eachother, putting their hands behind their backs, still holding on to eachother. A blue force blinked from the floor and around the two girls as they interlocked hands, and the two girls prepared their weapons, Xane's glowing with an electric charge and Akira's flaring with fire.
"Gotta work together!" Akira said through her gritted teeth. "-Can't believe I'm doing this..." Said Xane after.
They spun up to the sky, then went sideways, arms still connected and outstretched between them. They twirled around, then as the antilion beckoned close to them, they stopped twirling, blades aimed at it.
"Electric Flare!" They cried, and a lightning bolt intertwined with a burst of flame as they shot out of the blades of each girl, traveling to the middle of the heartless's chest. The thing burst into flames, glowing in amber light of the electric charge. It began to diminish.
The two girls landed on their knees in a regal position, then broke free of their grasp. The wind began to pick up again.
"Akira, I think the time is-"
RIIIIINNNNNGGGG! A bell sounded, and Akira and Xane found themselves before the whole organization, in the meeting room. The girl shook the sand off of them and looked up at them, panting.
Xemnas looked down emotionlessly at them for a long time. Akira and Xane stole nervous glances at eachother, waiting for a response.
Suddenly, Xemnas....grinned.
He gestured his hand in a shoo-ing manner, gesturing them to leave. Akira and Xane slowly and hesitantly left the room, unsure of what to do. As they got to the door, they picked up their hoods. The door closed behind them as they reached the hallway, making them turn to look at them.
"Talk about keeping quiet," Xane mumbled. Akira chuckled.
"You know Xane, you're actually pretty funny," Akira said, smiling. Only her smile was visible, the rest of her face was darkened by her hood. Xane looked away, her lips pouting slightly.
"Yeah well, you're not so bad yourself, brat." Xane grumbled. She walked away from Akira, leaving her alone in the hallway.

Xemnas sat back, toying with his fingers as everyone waited for the verdict.
Finally, he spoke, "I didn't think they'd work so well together. Did you see that combo attack near the end? Remarkable."
Roxas let out a breath of relief. Larxene sneered. The rest of the room nodded.
"Alright, you all can leave now. Saix, stay. Zexion, you too." Xemnas said quietly, a thoughtfull look on his face.
The rest of the room dissapeared in their own little dark portals, leaving the three men alone.
"Discuss." Xemnas motioned forward at them, giving them permission to speak.
