In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

And if you think I came alone, well, you're wrong..."
"Right you are Rook." Marluxia's voice said from behind a Dark portal that formed right next to him. A barrage of Rose petals come pouring out of it towards Elaeus. Each petal had a small portion of a Babies Breath flower petal on it. A good opening gambit actually. Because once each of those rose petals hits something....they explode. Marluxia came strolling out of the portal with Graceful Dahlia in hand.
"I would advise you to know who your dealing with Elaeus. You of all people should think to believe that someone would bring an ally. But no worry, your other is on his way. Possibly a few others.".
Marluxia glanced up to see Era. So. This is the girl the Dark XII took. It seems that she is also part heartless, intriguing. Giving a chuckle Marluxia opened up a Dark portal in front of himself with the exit being right next to Era. Four sunflower petals flew out of Marluxia's sleeve and into the portal. The flew out of the exit portal and began to rotate around Era. The each stopped in a specific place. One directly in front, one directly in back, and one on her immediate left and right. They each grew to an incredible size. Even going under her feet, as to not allow an attack from Elaeus from beneath.
"Rook. I can't have you worrying over this girl. As long as those petals hold, she shall not be harmed. Now....Ah. Lexaeus, impeccable timing as always. But as for you Elaeus..." Marluxia pulled a single rose flower as two others floated out of his cloak hood. He tossed the one in the air and the two followed. They pointed their aim and Elaeus and began to fire beams of pink energy at him.
"Now....Ah. Lexaeus, impeccable timing as always."[/i]
"Marluxia. This is no time for words." Lexaeus stated as he emerged from a portal. His weapon, Torn Heaven, was already placed upon his shoulder. His eyes glanced at everything around him. The first thing he saw was Elaeus. That egotistical Heartless. The next was someone inside XI's sunflower shield. Even Lexaeus was surprised to see how his comrade could manipulate nature in such a way. The next....was Rook. So, it seems that Marluxia had brought his "pet" along for the ride.
"Rook. If you could be a match for me, Elaeus would stand no chance against you." V said as he made the remaining rock around him sink back into the ground. The Hero knew that Elaeus and him would be an even match. Their earth powers cancel each other out. Those daggers are no match for Torn Heaven. But Elaeus' agility puts him on even ground with V.

"You took Era once. I'm not giving up that easily...And if you think I came alone, well, you're wrong..."
His nose twitched with a snort. The tigerclaw scratched against the sword emitting the scrapping sound.
"Right you are Rook."
Elaeus’ eyes narrowed at the scent of flowers. It was surprising to say the least; if anyone was to be involved in this it would be Marluxia. The petals combusted when contacted his body, which only distorted and blow up. It was perk to be able to manifest himself in sand.
"I would advise you to know who you’re dealing with Elaeus. You of all people should think to believe that someone would bring an ally. But no worry, your other is on his way. Possibly a few others.".
The Earth Titan smirked; Of-course Marluxia would hardly come alone, especially ever since their encounter at Caribbean. The assassin was hardly graceful when he was chocking and fleeing. Elaeus rotated his neck in mere annoyance. If this was the Castle of Abyss that meant it was in ownership of the Dark XII. Would they foolishly come here knowing that Elaeus wasn’t the only one that dwelled here. The order was to handle it; the Heartless needed to look at everything as a whole now.
Marluxia would play with his flowers. Era was encased in a shield, but according the Marluxia it’s quite breakable. Lexaeus should be arriving shortly; already the presences of nobodies were sickening enough. Fingers flexed around the grip of the tigerclaw, Certainly the scenario is much different from when it started, hopefully Ansem’s orders won’t apply to what the Earth Titan have to deal with now at hand.
This is becoming quite bothersome…, the shadows amongst this castle were tamed enough to send a message of the events in this hall.
“Rook. I can't have you worrying over this girl. As long as those petals hold, she shall not be harmed. Now....Ah. Lexaeus, impeccable timing as always. But as for you Elaeus..."
The sand composite body shifted at the energy of the laser. With the wave of his hand, a stream of sand collected the roses in a gust of a small sandy tornado. The sand forced the roses in a path straight towards the floor to crush them.
"Marluxia. This is no time for words. Rook. If you could be a match for me, Elaeus would stand no chance against you."
Elaeus didn’t even respond to that. In this case, scenario ignorance wasn’t bliss, and for Lexaeus to whisper a fallacy of complete equality, Rook’s match with the Heartless wouldn’t be the same as the Nobody. It was amusing though; generally Lexaeus would be calling him egostical, and he judged someone he barely knew. Sure he was his nobody, but with the lack of memories of who he was and what Elaeus is now, the Nobody was quite ignorant. He merely assumed that they canceled out. Regardless, he had one task.
I am requesting that you help defuse the threat.
“If there aren’t time for words, Lexaeus how about you stay...infamously silent.” Elaeus replied stepping away from Rook. The sand he used for the beaming flowers rose and multiple. The sand moved together forming a snake. This is was an example that separated Elaeus from Lexaeus. Lexaues may be a manipulator of Earth, but he only manipulates rock structures. The snake split into three, while growing. Elaeus always tend to have these animations in large sizes. The snakes began circling their prey, Marluxia, Lexaeus, and Rook. With a simple thought or whim, they coud either flood their mouths and nose or revert into a sand tornado trapping them in a harmful sphere. The serpent’s head looked at Rook before flicking a sandy tongue. They were all merely distractions for the quicksand the formed under their feet.
Walking towards Era’s entrapment, the Heartless hummed lowly as he poured sand from his pocket, which began to multiple and swirl around him.
There was a subtle feeling that the Heartless would feel when invaders came into their territory...not something etheral, or unknown...more instinct. Much like how a Mother can tell that her child is in trouble or pain from miles away...The heartless knew that something bad was happening to their home, which they had worked so hard to establish as theirs in the first place.
This was why the portal opened up directly up on the ceiling, where Braig knelt into position, above the slowly growing group of people below. Braig now had his vantage point. The Righteous Sniper had lost one home in his past, and he would not lose another.
"This aint a Scene...its a Gosh Damn Arms Race..." he hummed to himself from up in the air, his bow summoned, and aimed readilly at Lexaeus. He could tell who that one was..he was Rocky's Nobody, and the scent of Rock reeked from him, not in a true smell kind of way, as even Braig couldn't smell that. "I wonder how the Rocky dude will fair with no Gravity..." And that was precisely the arrow that was trained on him.
"Dudes, Can't ya just, like, leave us alone? We don't go waltzing into your territory. Besides, Annie got this one here fair and square, besides, I really don't want to have to clean this place."
A dark portal opened up next to the Sunflower petal shield that Era was in. The green haired psycho came running out. However, he didn't see the giant yellow thing in front of him and he smacked right into it and fell to the ground.
"What the fuck was that!" Seed announced as he got up rubbing his nose. He quickly saw that he was in the Dark XII castle. And that a battle was going on......H to the ELL yeah!!. With out even thinking Seed pulled out his double bladed scythe and jumped over the shield (using his wind magic) and on the ground were he saw three people being surrounded by Elaeus' sand.
"SOOOOOOOOO! I hope your enjoying our little "Tea Party" we're having. but sadly you weren't invited." With that Seed fired off some Blizzara spells at the three. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marluxia snarled at the sight of the sand forming around them. His memories flashed back to that bitter day at Port Royal. That fight however, did give him an idea on how to counter it. Slamming down Graceful Dahlia on the ground, Marluxia made his energy transfer downward and cause several large Venus Flytrap vines break through the ground and cause the sand to fall into the pit. Of course Elaeus could simply bring it back up, but for the time being Marluxia made the vines lash out a the new comer in front of them
"Rook. Don't be reckless here. Lexaeus, you know how to handle yourself I presume so---" Marluxia sensed that Braig, Xigbars other was here. Sending his energy into his scythe quickly, XI let out a slicing motion and sent a powerful pink energy wave at Braig.

Even had been downstairs in his lab, working on an experiment when all of a sudden
BOOM
Then, just as Even was about to pour some of this tube into that tube, his table shook, and it caused several things to mix together, and consequently blow up! Suddenly, Even was thrown back several feel by the explosion, luckily landing on his bed. As he got up, he looked around thinking, What the hell? What happened? Then, he figured, it had to have come from upstairs, so, he quickly ran up the stairs to see several people that normally shouldn't be in this castle!
Marluxia, Lexaeus, and another person whom Even didn't know the name of, but obviously wasn't a nobody. And then something encased in flower petals. And obviously opposing them was Elaeus. Then, as Elaeus made a snake with some sand split into three parts, Even quietly walked out of the doorway leading down stairs, and stood several yards away behind Marluxia and Lexaeus.
"Now boys, you should know not to barge in peoples houses! It's very rude! Now, why don't you just leave quickly and quietly before we have to hurt you?
As the nobodies would hopefully know, this was no empty threat. Right before Even had said this, the odds had been 3 to 2, in the nobodies favor, but now, since Braig and Seed had just entered, it was 4 to 3, in the heartless's favor!
"Rook. Don't be reckless here. Lexaeus, you know how to handle yourself I presume so---"[/color]
Lexaeus saw that Braig had made the scene and was about to launch a rock spire at it when XI took matters into his own hands. However, Braig was still on the ceiling. A ROCK ceiling. Tapping Torn Heaven on the ground V made the rocks around were Braig was fall off and crumble.
He turned to Rook and gave a nod before his Flare ability exploded outwards. He wasn't going to wait to go full power. He is and will be at Full power now. He sensed Vexen's Heartless behind them. Great. Slamming Torn Heaven down again he sent a barrage of rock spires shoot at him and around him. Keeping his eye on the green haired heartless Lexaeus simply made the ground around him crumble.

A laugh. Such an act would normally be impossible for a nobody, especially one like Vexen. To most, he was a cold researcher- making his powers even more ironic. He wasn't particularly a fan of plans such as these, but he felt the need to come along regardless. It wasn't every day he found the opportunity to work with his... Counterpart. Perhaps he will be as rational as Vexen thought he was.
That was not going to happen.
The nobody, number four in the Organization, stepped out of a dark portal, coming out in what appeared to be a fight. Really? A fight so soon? SO very disappointing. His talents were being wasted. Perhaps. His eyebrows rose, surveying his surroundings. Perhaps he should have brought some spares...
"Marluxia..." He sighed and shook his head. "So brash. Must we clean up after your mess once more?" Truly, it did seem like a good idea to Vexen at first. They hadn't been doing anything, and now they go marching right into their territory? Sure, it was suicide. But it was one hell of a way to go out. Despite the intelligence showed on the part of Marluxia in planning this, Vexen was still bitter. Why? The betrayal. It was Marluxia, Axel, Larxene, and maybe some others he had overlooked. Was paranoia getting to him? Maybe. But he was set on not letting Marluxia take control again. It looked as if Vexen was already not doing a good job at that, thus the scientist only had his words to work for him. And work they shall.
"Ooooh," he breathed, "Even. I can only assume that we are natural enemies, opposites on the food chain?" He had his shield in front of him, gripped tentatively. If only they could run to kingdom hearts themselves and take their heart by force. It probably would not happen, but a nobody can dream. Vexen knew, though, that nothing would come of those dreams. That made them more fantasies than anything else. Oh well. He would fight Even if he must. And if he must, he will win.
It was funny how very quickly this had turned into a game of monkey-in-the-middle. Or at least, that's how it seemed. With Rook in the middle, wanting to keep Era safe, and the two groups of individuals, both trying to snatch her away.
It took little effort on her part to figure out which side she actually wanted to be on. She hastened to the the pink-haired man's side amidst all the clamour, the petals following her like delayed, dusty-pink magnets. She didn't know this man, but he was on Rook's side, which meant he was safe.
For now, she'd eye who was on which side, and execute a battle plan accordingly. So far, it looked like just Rook, Pinky, the brown-haired Brute, and the newcomer -- the obvious elder of the group. She could work with this...
She welcomed her other sword, focussing its energies. With a slash of her wispy blades, shards of icy shadow were launched toward the green-haired one... the one that had shot off a handful of ice spells just now. Could physical Darkness even effect the Heartless? Guess she was about to find out.
Stepping out of someone else's portal, the Flurry stepped onto the scene. One hand rested a Chakram over his shoulder as he encroached upon Heartless territory. The weapon's opposite hung loosely at his side, suspended on loose fingers. Most people would've respected such a boundary, but not Axel... And apparently, not his comrades either.
Glancing about the room, the Nobody took in the structures and the contours. If he was to pit a fight here, he'd have to get familiar with some of the scenery. "So this is the fixer-upper the Dark Twelve subjugated...." His head tilted slightly, sharp green gaze piercing the nearest Heartless. Enthusiasm was evident in his purr. "Snazzy."

Marluxia may have made the sand fell in the pit, but they sand lifted to uproot his precious vines, while the Nobody was a victim of the quicksand he remained in like his comrades, Lexeaus and Rook. Hands of the quicksand started to grab at the trio greedily. Their legs were easy targets as their clothing gave the sand more to grab. Struggling with brute strength would only quicken the sinking.
Hearing the castle foundation quiver, Elaeus growled loudly forcing every stray rock formation back where they belong. This castle will not be Lexeaus' fuel. As punishment, a sand hand reached up before hooking his fingers into the Nobody's mouth. The sand serpant that circled him formed into a sandy vortex attacking the body. The sand serpent that surround Marluxia rosed up before hurtling at him horizontally in a vortex. It's mark was at his chest, and it's tornado would naturally start tattering his clothes to rip at his flesh. The serpant circled Rook made a doom of a sandy whirlwind.
His eyes wondered as his senses started to pick up other individuals: Even, Braig, Seed, Vexen, and Axel. Sand whisps still swirled around Elaeus. A dark portal started to form, he turned to see Axel, a pyro.
Perhaps I will take advantage of what we have here..

Ocean-like eyes shifted as she watched the events unfolding. Like nothing was happening Relena walked calmly down the hall leading to this mayhem. In her closest view was Axel, already having his weapon how and smirking at whatever the hell he found to be so interesting. Marluxia, Lexaeus, Vexen, Axel, and Rook they were here against... Even, Braig, Elaeus, that Seed kid, and her. Well, wouldn't this be an interesting fight?
A smile spread across her face as got within 7 feet of Axel. "You like it?" she asked slyly before her spheres came out and slowly shifted into the same chakram Axel was holding. She took up his pose and smirked at him. If there was one thing she bet he hated, it was when other people mocked him. Around her swirled a sand snake, something she wasn't too happy to see as she couldn't exactly do anything against that, luckily though its master was Elaeus.
Elaeus, her eyes flicked his quickly and she saw something spark in them, oh? He was looking at her and she wondered why. Oh wait, she twisted to look behind her and saw Axel. 'Back off Elaeus' she wished to say but she figured that he had a good reason to be interested in Axel. After all, he was a fire-user and fire was similar enough to lightning and whatnot, Relena's Thundara wouldn't work at all against one of Elaeus' earth attacks and she wondered just what would happen to Axel if he were against one of those same attacks.
Sadly she wasn't going to leave him to Elaeus just yet, this was her opportunity to get some pay back. No, she hadn't technically met Axel before, but he was the Nobody of Ela and boy did Ela deserve an ass beating. Knowing she couldn't exactly do something like that to Ela this was the closet thing to it. Elaeus just better get the message that Relena had Axel covered soon or else he would get caught off-guard by an attack.
Let see... Braig was aiming an arrow at Lexaeus, how she hoped it was one of those disorientating ones, Seed was firing Blizzara spells at Lexaeus, Marluxia, and Rook, and Even... was talking lamely about it being rude to barge into one's house. She gave her full attention to Axel now and waited to get this show on the road.
Myde was in his study, writing a piece about the Triumph in Twilight, when the noise above broke his concentration. That gave him a few seconds of annoyance until he realized what it meant. "Finally. Some action!"
He appeared right behind Relena, and took surveillance of the area. An invasion! An old-fashioned invasion! He loved it. This would make an opera for the ages! His fife twirled in his hand like a baton before coming to rest in playing position. He smirked and turned his attention to Axel. Relena couldn't take on #8 by herself, he knew that, but the Flurry was one person (for varying definitions of person) he knew he could handle. "Ready, Relena?"
Marluxia was swept up into the sand storm rather quickly. But not before he was able to pull out a sunflower shield petal to block the frontal assault. He turned his head to see that he was about to be smashed into a wall. He opened up a portal around him and sent himself next to Lexaeus. Seeing that he was in trouble as well, XI made a vine shoot out of the ground and disrupt the sand, in that split second Marluxia made another sunflower petal shield form around V. XI also barely saw that the girl run to his side.
"XI.......return to the castle."[/b] Damn. The Assassin would know that voice any day. Giving a loud growl he opened a portal around Rook that dragged him away from the fight and back into his Garden. The sunflower shield shrank down, making V shrink along with it, making him return to the castle as well.
He turned to Axel and said before a portal enveloped him, before the portal closed he reached out and pulled Era in "Axel, return to the castle. Orders from the Superior himself."
[Exit: Marluxia and Lexaeus]
(Lex doesn't care about how he was taken out)
(*Ducks to avoid pokes and other stuff from people*)

And then there were two. Soon to be one. They were pulling out, metaphorically dropping like flies. And orders from Xemnas? What could he possibly have in mind? Vexen knew he shouldn't have left the lab, but he had to be there to make sure they didn't die. Well, obviously, that is out the window.
He found it curious he only said a word to Axel. This almost cemented in his mind that something is going on. Vexen would not be left to die this time.
"I'm almost offended," was all he spat out before returning to his lab through a dark portal, making sure he was the only one who could walk through. He was angry, and he needed to continue his development. Enough of these missions. As of now, Vexen decided he had more pressing matters to attend to than fruitless grasping at power.
But a donkey with a brain tumor, could see that this thread is obviously screwed up beyond all comparison.
Era, is not going with the Organization, because Leon didn't want them here at all. The way I see it, everything after Rook saying "I'm not here alone" is moot, and is not to be counted for.
The Organization...is not organized. Things like this should be planned out, otherwise, stuff like this, which creates controversy SUCH AS THIS, starts. So, everyone, wait until Rook gets online, And He and Leon can talk about this. Really.
