People of Traverse Town bustled carelessly by. Oblivious to the fact that something sinister was watching them from on high. A lone cloaked figure casually sat upon a brick building just near the local cafe. Nothing could be distinguished about the figure's appearance except for the fact that they had a dark hood concealing most of its face but for the electric blue eyes that loomed out of the hood's shadow.
An hourglass shape was also noticeable. Obviously, this figure was female. It peered down at the people of Traverse Town with what seemed to be ominous evil intent. From up here, people didn't know what danger lurked nearby. Larxene wasn't any Heartless but a Nobody. A very violent one, at that. She smirked a little when she gazed upon them all unnoticed. Of course, this world would be easy for Nexus to take over. She had recently signed up with it.
The sadist loved wreaking havoc and killing people when she had the chance. Not to mention the fact that there was a war involved. One big one between Nexus and Zodiac. The Savage Nymph wondered what fools were in Zodiac as she sat upon the rooftop. In her opinion, she thought they were not very bright. Goody-goodies weren't ever that bright, in her opinion. She knew this from past encounters with Sora. That kid wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
In fact, he 'supposedly' killed her but here she was again. Laughing at this, Larxene made mental note to make Sora's life a living hell if she ever came across the little Keyblade wielder again. She stopped laughing when she noticed someone on the street below that quirked her immediate attention. Tilting her head ever slightly, Larxene eyed the being below. Just which side were they on? They obviously didn't look like anyone from around these parts.
Larxene opened up a portal beneath her and slowly sunk into its dark depths. Slipping silently out of sight before the dark portal closed up just after her head had sunk into it. Seconds later, the same black portal opened up...well, more like another one had and out of it stepped Larxene. Her hood still up. She leaned against the brick wall of the cafe as she let her hood down to appear like the residents of this world. Her eyes on the person she had seen from before.
Larxene's platinum blond hair was now visible as well as the two characteristic antennae-like hair strands that stuck out from it. She looked almost like a bug with that strange hairstyle. Aside from that, she was quite fair but looks can be quite deceiving. She folded her arms as she watched the person. Her electric blue eyes almost unblinking. Maybe she can try and cause a little mayhem?
The Savage Nymph was sizing this person up already. Even though she appeared to be just a twenty year old woman and looked weak, she was far from it. Larxene's speed wasn't an easy thing to contend with. She wasn't allowed into Organization Thirteen in the past for nothing. Her speed and savageness helped her get into their ranks. Larxene was Number twelve of that organization which seemed to not exist anymore. Most likely Sora had gotten the rest of them. No matter, Larxene had already found herself a new thing to achieve in 'life'.
Life? PFFT! Like Larxene was meant to EXIST. Nobodies hadn't the right. They were never meant to exist and yet they did. She was just like every other Nobody. She had no feelings and couldn't care less about what she did to others. Especially with the suffering she had caused. She had done so to even her fellow teammates in Organization Thirteen. The blond was glad she had come back to existence. As far as she was concerned, Organization Thirteen was dead to her. If anyone ever returned from it that she never got along with, she'd ignore them. Then again, Larxene hadn't got along with anyone really. Except for a couple of exceptions but one of them ended up betraying her.
How the memory stuck in her mind. If she ever came across HIM again, she'd kill him or give him a thorough thrashing. The Savage Nymph remained still as she watched the other being she had spotted from before. Blending in with the locals but for the dark black cloak she was wearing.

A young woman around her mid-twenties was walking around the town, her cerulean blue eyes examining her surroundings. The woman seemed out of place in the small city... what was it called? Traver... something? She shook her head, light brown hair falling over her face. Five years had passed... and Yuna seemed totally different from her earlier appearance.
Her hair was no longer her shoulder-length like her previous visage. But it seemed like it. Her hair now reached passed her shoulders and then was wrapped in a kind of burret down her back, stopping around her mid-back area. Her clothing was totally different, taking on the appearance of her White Mage form (if you remember from FFX-2). A long, silver-white tunic that reached down a little bit past her knees, with crimson lining on her sleeves. She had a hood connected to it, but she didn't have it up at the moment. She wore white gloves and, not so surprisingly, white boots too. She seemed to really stand out in such a dark town. At her side was her usual healing staff. She never brought herself to discard it after all she's used it to do.
Since the past fight with Zack, Yuna had continued her summoner training and was now a full-fledged summoner. She was now able to summon all the proper Aeons at will, and maybe even more. She had come to Traverse Town on a mission set by Yevon to help the Key Kingdom with such beings called 'Heartless'. Apparently, this city was infested with them. But so far, she had seen nothing out of the ordinary worth noticing.
She heads over to one of the shops and leaned against the wall. This town unnerved her for some reason... alleyways everywhere and it seemed to be night out all the time. It was nothing compared to her home realm, Spira, which always had breathtaking views of the ocean. She was already missing it dreadfully.

Larxene watched this person closely. It was another woman at around the same age maybe a few years older. The Savage Nymph remained where she was as she continued to examine this new arrival. Yes, this woman definitely wasn't of this world's parts but maybe possibly Radiant Garden. There was no true telling. However, the Savage Nymph wasn't here for making 'friends'.
Judging by this woman's attire, Larxene assumed she may be one of the usual goody-goodies. Her electric blue eyes remained fixed before the other decided to lean against a wall of one of the shops not too far off. Larxene thought herself was standing out but the other stood out more so than she. People passing by gave the other woman curious glances as they went about their usual business. It seemed the other was possibly confused about this place...maybe not.
The platinum blond pushed herself off of the brick wall she had been leaning on and walked out into the street. Her dark attire almost making it hard to see her if she were to pass any dark alleys. Walking a bit closer to where the other woman stood. She was more so curious of her than just harming her like she tended to do to others. Maybe she'd play a few mind games with this one? Where to start, though?
Being a Nobody, Larxene had the ability to summon lesser Nobodies and even control Heartless but rarely. She smirked slightly as she eventually neared the area where the other was leaning. Her kunais weren't summoned just yet. Larxene wanted to figure this one out before doing anything rash. She took on a friendly appearance as she smiled to the other woman. A total ruse if anyone could see through the academy award winning acts that Nobodies were capable of doing.
Larxene had gotten good over the years of having become a Nobody in the past. Her acting was very hard to see through. In fact, any emotion she expressed wasn't a true emotion. It was all a ruse. Nothing was truly real but the body, mind, and powers. No emotions were in this empty shell though she did express them pretty darn well. "Hello!" she said in a crisp and kind sounding tone.
The Savage Nymph was putting on the innocent act right now. Just until she was able to figure out what this other being was doing here aside from herself. Also, what side she was on if any. She kept that smile upon her face as she waited for a response. It was sometimes hard to tell what Nobodies were up to because of the lack of emotions that usually made the other sense what was maybe going to happen.

Yuna had taken up the habit of people watching, it was very hard not to pick it up, after all she's been through, especially Seymour. Her cerulean eyes scanned the shady crowd who passed by, each one giving her curious looks because of her white costume. Maybe, I shouldn't have worn this.. bad idea.. she thought to herself bitterly. She had many varieties of dress spheres and she had to choose the most obvious and out-of-the-blue dress. But it was really handy for traveling long distances, in which this was the case.
She straightened up off the brick wall behind her, brushing dust off her tunic. "Gah.. I hope this doesn't stain..." Said aloud, since some of the residue seemed to be black brick dust from off the wall. After fiddling with it for a while, she was able to get most of it off, but by this time, she had looked up to see a rather exotic face looking back at her.
She blinked as the woman said hello to her, in a very kind fashion. She was surprised, seeing someone like this in this king of crowd, especially when the majority of the people here gave her bad looks just because of her strange attire. The woman seemed to be around her age.. maybe a little younger. And from thelooks of it, one of the energetic kind too.
Yuna smiled back at her, extending a hand in greeting. "Good Evening." Though despite seeing a kind face, she couldn't help getting this feeling of anxiety hanging over her. She seemed so kind, but she was also wearing a black cloak, and compred to Yuna herself, they looked like exact opposites.

Larxene wasn't exactly the normal type in a crowd like this. Neither was this woman so that was why Larxene had set her sights on this one. She found her quite curious. She watched as the other had brushed herself off from the dust that came from the brick. Rather foolish to do if one wore light clothing such as she. Larxene didn't say this for she wanted to find out whom the other was and what she was doing here before trying anything funny.
She was mentally calculating her. Trying to get a 'feel' of what the other acted like. It was then that she spotted Larxene after hearing her saying 'hello' to her. The platinum blond knew that she must've made the other a bit suspicious. After all, their attire suggested completely opposites. Did clothing actually say what a person was like inside? Maybe for the other but Larxene always wore the trademark Organization Thirteen cloak like her fellow members had done in the past.
Now that it was gone, it became a habit to wear it. The Savage Nymph held that same warm looking smile before seeing the other offer her hand in a way of greeting. Larxene nodded in turn and extended her hand to shake the other's. Still acting friendly when in truth she wasn't at all pleasant. Good evening? Wasn't it always evening in this world?
Never the less, Larxene wasn't going to blow her cover just yet. She wanted to find out if this one was actually what she assumed her to be. "Yes, a good evening....May I ask whom you may be? I'm Larxene!" she said. Inclining her head in a mock respective way. Her head once again returning to the regular position once she had done that. Still putting on the 'nice' act.
So far, this one appeared to be a goody-goody. However, one can't ever be too sure. Appearances could be quite deceiving if no one was careful. More like Larxene's appearance was deceiving. It allowed her to seem friendly when she wanted to put on the act but her cloak made it a little suspiscious.

Yuna chanced a glance again at the crowd around them, but none of them seemed to notice the two women talking together. Many were going about thier business and not stopping to chat with one another at all. Perhaps this 'Heartless' infestation was worse than she thought.
Then, realizing her mind was drifting, Yuna looked back and smiled again at this woman, who seemed to be announcing herself to be Larxene. It was a weird name... but Yuna couldn't complain, since hers wasn't so common either. She shook the woman's hand, but suddenly an involuntarily shiver went up her spine, making her pause a minute before answering Larxene's question. Then she mentally shook her head and nodded as if in an apology for her delay in an answer.
"Oh, yes... my name is Yuna. A Yevon Summoner from the realm of Spira." She said, adding her title in just in case this person wanted to know what she was doing here in such a dark city, wearing traveler's clothes. In fact, once she thought about it, she'd be kind of cautious too if she was some other person who saw a woman in white in a near dark city. Now she couldn't really blame the folks who gave her weird looks.

Larxene didn't pay any mind to the residents. There was nothing too special about them that she'd have to glance at them to make sure nothing was up. If anything, Larxene was the one someone should worry about. Her reputation was quite....notorious. Being the most sadistic person there ever was. Not to mention the electrifying savage attitude she held.
That alone got her the title 'The Savage Nymph'. She wondered why it took the other a bit long to respond. Did she suspect Larxene already? Of course, the air others picked up could clearly give off that feeling to others. It was then that she had nodded her head and said what her name was. Yuna? Definitely a different name, alright. Larxene's was as well so she really couldn't talk for that.
It was then that she heard the rest of what Yuna had said. A world called Spira. She honestly never heard of the place. It had to be one of those 'other' worlds that didn't exist in the Kingdom Key's worlds. Yes, Larxene was right on the dot finding this one. Yuna was definitely an out of worlder but more so than Larxene. Larxene was technically an out of worlder too but she was more closer to home than this woman was.
"A pleasure to meet you, Yuna. Hmm...A Yevon Summoner? Most interesting for I've never heard of such a summoner before..." she trailed off to see if Yuna might actually explain what a Yevon Summoner was. Those electric blue eyes remained fixed on Yuna as she waited for her response. The evil intent hidden under that ruse friendly act still.
Once she got the information she wanted, Larxene may let her leave but wouldn't be so kind the next time they met. Maybe she'll sick her Nobodies on her? Making it appear as though she didn't do it? Mind games, how she loved them. They really did come in handy for the Savage Nymph.

Yuna peered at Larxene, an eyebrow raising after she heard the nymph's reply. Most people would just leave it at that and get on with the rest of the small talk. But then again, she was not of this world, so it would only be natural for one to ask questions about who and where she had come from. And this woman didn't seem to recognise Spira at all. Surely after all this time the worlds were united someone would learn all the names of all the realms that lived together in this universe?
She rolled her shoulders, shrugging off her suspicions. Who was she to challenge her? The deceptions in the past must've really put her on edge, since this was the first time she realized it. She also noticed she was curious about this girl too. So, instead of leaving her hanging, Yuna replied in a calm manner as if nothing was wrong at all.
"Oh... A Summoner is kind of like a 'master'... in a different sort of perspective." She tapped her staff against the ground, thinking. "I call upon the beasts and they come in help me in times of need." And then, realizing her own mission she was supposed to be completing, she asked. "Hey, do you know of such beings called 'Heartless'? I was sent here to help get rid of the problem..."

Larxene listened to every word Yuna was telling her. It was a mystery that she hadn't started suspecting the Savage Nymph now. Especially when she furthered the questioning. However, she didn't blow her cover just yet. There was a pause for some time before Yuna even had responded. So, the other wasn't not so unsuspecting after all.
Yuna had brains, then. Not many had brains that Larxene had encountered in the past. Her old teammate, Vexen, had brains but sadly didn't use them all that well. Hence, Marluxia had him eliminated by Axel. She almost furrowed her eyebrows into a nasty look because of that memory of Axel and how he had gained her and Marluxia's trust before causing their downfall. She regained her present mind as Yuna spoke.
So, a Yevon summoner used monsters to come in and help her at her disposal. Almost like how Larxene could summon lesser Nobodies and few Heartless at will around here. Heartless always followed those that were stronger from the darkness. Larxene having been made from the darkness and being as strong as she was could easily use them at her own disposal. A pointy and thin blond eyebrow raised a little when Yuna questioned her about Heartless.
Larxene refrained from giving a sadistic grin as she replied "Oh, yes. The little vermin tend to come around and attack people whenever they please. Hence the people here not lingering too much out on the streets." Larxene had no need to worry about Heartless. One, she could fight very well and eliminate those that challenged her and two, she could summon some in this area if she wanted to.
"You're just bound to bump into one eventually....tey appear almost twice a day in front of innocents!" she said before waving her hand towards the locals here. The Savage Nymph, though it appeared as though she were waving at the said residents, had actually made that wave like a regular gesture when in fact it had summoned up a few Heartless. About five or six had appeared. They were the usual Shadow Heartless with bright yellow eyes and antennas making them look like over sized bugs.
Larxene waited for the screams of terror and surprise to come from the crowd before turning around in shock. Fake shock, that is for she couldn't truly feel any kind of emotion. She smiled a little to herself once her face had turned away from Yuna to pretend to look over in pretend shock at the Heartless's arrival. Oh, she had quite a fun time with tis little havoc being raised right now.
"Oh! They're here!" she said in mock surprise. Sometimes, even her own acting made her want to laugh. However, she shouldn't for she'd blow her cover. Larxene still wanted to see what Yuna could do. 'Lets see what this brunette can make out of them!' she thought.

"So, it's much more of a problem than I thought..." Yuna said after hearing Larxene speak about the Heartless. "Attacking innocent people.. that's horrible." She made a cursory glance around her, just to check if any had popped up, since the woman said that they could pop up anywhere. Finding nothing, she sighed. This was going to be a lot harder than she thought. She might end up just waiting around for one to pop up once in a while, and that could be anywhere in this town.
But not long after the brief check of hers, Yuna heard a scream and several yells of panic just around the corner. Even more suspicious, Larxene had just started to wave her hand at a bunch of passerbys at the exact same time. She paused, wondering if she should question her, but then she heard another scream and she made her way around the corner to confront the beasts.
These beings were called 'Heartless'? No wonder, they looked like little black insects crawling across the ground. Just looking at them made her skin crawl. But it was no use standing around when they were harassing the townspeople. Quickly, Yuna set her staff before her and mumbled a few words under her breath, a red circle appearing around her as she begins to cast a summon spell.
She must of been there for a few moments before anything actually happened. A onyx, flaming crater could be seen falling from the sky right toward Yuna's location. The comet made impact with the ground, but there was no explosion or anything. Instead, on the ground next to Yuna was a great fiery beast, also known as Ifrit. The being gave an inhuman roar, prompty stopping the Heartless in their tracks, then it started to charge forward, intent on getting rid of them.

Larxene watched as Yuna went around the corner after having heard the screams of the people here. When she rounded the corner, Larxene held her sides as she laughed a little. Not enough where others could hear her, though. How cynical this Nobody was. 'I can't believe someone fell for my 'nice' act!' she thought. After having that little laugh there, she approached the corner of the wall and peered from behind it.
Her electric blue eyes just spotted Yuna standing there and looking at the Heartless that Larxene summoned. It wouldn't have been managed if Heartless weren't around by a huge number. Traverse Town was indeed, infested with them and she was only able to summon them because of the large number here. Plus, the Savage Nymph could only do that in this world and not the others. It seemed the Heartless only lurked around here in the Kingdom Key's surrounding worlds.
No matter, it was providing her with some entertainment. 'Hmm...betetr disappear!' she thought as she made a dark portal for herself open up. Larxene stepped into it and the portal closed up around her. Appearing a few seconds later on a nearby rooftop to oversee the battle she caused. The Heartless were facing Yuna aside from jumping at any people that they could.
It was funny to Larxene because of her sadistic mind. She leaned on the building's wall with her arms as she watched at the fight below her. Yuna had begun to say something that Larxene couldn't make out after setting her staff before her. A red circle encircling where Yuna was. The Savage Nymph's eyebrows both raised as she smiled a bit at the proceedings. This was quite amusing to the Nobody.
It was then some sort of comet appeared and came down towards Yuna but hadn't made any crashing impact. Larxene blinked as she saw what came from that comet. It was a monster with two large horns upon its head and the head of what appeared to be some sort of dog. It was humanoid but the roar that erupted from it was inhuman. 'So...that's what a Yevon summoner does!' thought Larxene with a smirk.
Larxene now got a grasp of how Yuna fought. It was a bit surprising the Heartless she summoned hadn't tried jumping Yuna during that time she spent to call forth that huge beast. It charged at the Heartless. Larxene rolled her eyes at the Heartless as she thought 'Can't find any good help around these days!' She keenly paid close attention to the fight. The Heartless that were charged at had either jumped out of the way or were trampled and immediately dispersed.
There were just four Heartless now.

Yuna seemed to be watching the fight from afar, but she already was starting to cast another spell. After a few moments, she did nothing but chant under her breath. But then a green shell of energy appeared around her, protecting her from harm. She cursed to herself for not of thinking of it before.
Aeroga was a complex spell but a very useful one, if she would've used it before her summon, the Heartless would be able to do nothing to stop her summon from coming down. This was the method she always usually used when fighting the enemy, but amidst the fray, forgot to cast Aeroga first.
Ifrit skidded across the concrete with his talons, howling again as he had taken down the dark Heartless. Although he was just a beast, he seemed to be enjoying himself. He continued the roar for a few more moments longer, then stood up on his hand feet, raising his head to the sky. A large, crimson orb began to form in his mouth, flames rushing around it.
Yuna's eyes narrowed when she saw this and she ran to the other side of Ifrit as to not get in the way of the attack. "Heh..." She smiled at Ifrit. There were only four heartless left and the being wanted to use his most powerful attack. "Showoff.." She muttered jokingly. What was more peculiar about this summoner was that the relationship with her summons were not just 'master' or 'servant' type. She managed a perfectly good relationship with all of them, making it easier to cooperate wih each other in battle.
The orb in Ifrit's mouth grew bigger and bigger, the flames prouncing around his feet. Then he let the attack go, the huge flame splitting into four different energies, which then collided with each Heartless present. After this, Ifrit returned to the ground on his feet, looking over at Yuna with what only could be mistaken for a smirk.

Larxene watched interestedly as the beast seemed to smirk. So, he wasn't just any regular beast then. She silently watched from the rooftop. So, Yuna's powers didn't just excel there. She could also use regular spells for herself. There was no mistaking that green shell that now surrounded Yuna.
Here, magic was used as well. Larxene distinctly remembered annoying Sora using a number of them. From Curaga to Reflect. 'Hmmm...so....she's not entirely that much different than those that live here1' she thought. Observing how the huge beast began to form a huge surge of fire energy before his mouth. So, that beast used fire. How 'educating' this all was for Larxene. She took note that Yuna seemed to be talking to the beast.
More so on terms of friendship instead of terms of being a master or owner. The beast eliminated the Heartless Larxene had summoned up and the show was over. All from one blast of Ifrit's. This would all come useful to the Savage Nymph the next time she were to encounter Yuna. Then again, maybe not so. "Shall I summon my lesser 'friends'?" she said to herself. Acting as though this were a hard decision.
Maybe she'll wait and then unleash her little minions? Yuna may not be expecting them either. After all, she was after Heartless here. 'Hmmm....where can I find a bigger enemy?' she thought. Seeing as how large that fire beast was. Not to mention strong. Maybe something that'd be more of a challenge. Maybe, the bigger Heartless in the second district. How the heck was the Savage Nymph going to pull that one off?
It occurred to her that she wouldn't be able to unless she got a lesser Nobody to lead her in that direction. A fast one, too. Larxene snapped her finger and a Dusk appeared nearby her. "I want you to lead that woman below to District Two where the big armored Heartless can be found!" she spoke to it. Whether the Dusk understood or not, one couldn't truly tell until it actually disappeared out of sight portaling itself nearby Yuna.
It stood there staring at her in its odd gray clothing and a zippered up face unzipped to show two yellow eyes like that of a Heartless's but this clearly wasn't a Heartless since the symbol for the Heartless was upside down. It flew at Yuna and around her before flying swiftly down the street. Heading for the big double doors of District Two.

Yuna watched as all the Heartless were eliminated by Ifrit's powerful blast of flame energy. It wasn't necessary, but still, she made her way over to the beast and put a hand on him, settling him down, since he seemed to still be fidgety after using such a powerful attack. "Good job.." She says into his ear and was about to recall him until she saw another weird being appear in front of him.
It seemed to be silvery-white, and it's face was concealed behind a zipper that only stopped just below it's yellow eyes. It wasn't one of the Heartless she saw earlier, but it had the same sign as they had but upside down. She quickly took a step back when she saw it circle around her, but then it scampered off somewhere toward the Second District door.
She hesitated before following, looking back to where she was previously talking with the other woman.. Larxene. It wasn't surprising that she was gone, since she must've gone off with the other people when the Heartless started their attack.
Ifrit was beginning to get impatient, since he wanted to go after the little being that just provoked them to follow it. And, having no other choice, Yuna trails after Ifrit, who was already charging toward the big doors of the second district, banging them open with his horns.

Larxene watched as Yuna reacted to the Dusk she sent out to lead them astray into District Two. The Savage Nymph grinned at her little scheme. Apparently, the big beast fell for the bait and was now charging right into District Two where she was sure there was a bigger Heartless in that vicinity. Larxene gave a slight laugh before saying, not loudly enough, to no one in particular "Hope you've come extra prepared!"
The Dusk stared at Ifrit as he charged through the doors. Bursting them open without much difficulty. It blinked as it stayed where it was. Peering at him for a bit before flying towards the center of the district like Larxene had ordered it to do. Once there, it waited for Ifrit and Yuna to come after it. Knowing that a Heartless bigger than the previous ones lurked here and would pop out if it saw them all in the middle of the district where it liked to attack.
Larxene opened up a portal beneath her feet making her sink into it slowly as she held that mischievous and sinister smirk upon her face. The beast fell for the bait, now for the real action to begin. She couldn't miss it for the world. The portal closed as Larxene became fully submerged into it. It opened up on the top of a shop's other roof. Right upon the Mad Hatter's hat shop.
Larxene stepped out of it as she stood there. Waiting for the Heartless to come out.

Ifrit waited for Yuna to catch up to him before he made his way toward the middle of the district, as Yuna walked beside him. She stared at the Nobody, frowning while she did so. She had an odd feeling about this place. Being as big as it is, it seemed to be completely dserted from the first District. Perhaps it was a trap?
Well, there was no turning back now, and that little Nobody made her curious. What was it? Could it just be some other form of a Heartless? Yuna rolled her shoulders again as she and Ifrit stopped where the Nobody stood in front of them. As if luring them into something. She once again got the anxious feeling at her back, and she made another cursory glance around the district just in case.

Larxene slowly crouched so as to not alert Yuna to her presence here. The Savage Nymph had lead them astray her by using that Dusk but she had no intentions to do anything to them now since the big Heartless she knew about that lurked here would do it for her. The Dusk blinked at them again as it stayed where it was before disappearing from their sight.
It had left through a portal that closed right after it had gone. Then, something else moved but it wasn't the Dusk appearing again and nor was it Larxene. It was much larger, in fact. By a lot! With a huge pop, an armored cylinder appeared before Yuna and Ifrit. A circle on top looked down at them with bright yellow eyes before two big armored hands appeared that revolved around its body and two large feet that weren't attached to the body.
A very strange Heartless but a very big one at that. An armored helmet appeared upon the circular head that had eyes looking down at them. The Heartless then stamped one of its feet before the two it looked down at. This may be a lot more challenging than those weaker Heartless earlier. Larxene watched as she smirked a bit sadistically. Knowing what was going to happen next, almost.
The armored Heartless lashed out at Yuna and Ifrit by revolving its arms around its body and its feet stomped towards them. The body in the air coming at them. To destroy it, all five of its body parts had to be disposed of.

As if on cue after Yuna's brief check of the area, the Dusk disappeared before them in a flash. Leaving both of them confused for a moment or two, before another portal opened up before them and a much larger Heartless stepped through. And this seemed to be a lot different from the other Heartless too.
All of it's limbs were disconnected from the main body and each one of them was floating in the air where it was supposed to be originally. The Heartless made two big stomps on the ground, making it shake slightly due to it's weight. Yuna took a step back cautiously, and was about to order Ifrit to take it on until she was hit by the big fist of the Heartless, sending her flying into one of the walls of the nearby shops.
Luckily, Yuna's Aeroga spell had protected her from most of the damage, but it did dizzy her for a few moments. Meanwhile, in response, Ifrit roared again and then proceeded to charge at the being, tearing it's main body away from the floating limbs, trying to breath fire down on the body part.

Larxene's eyes glistened slightly upon seeing a little pain being caused to Yuna. The Heartless was definitely big enough. Ifrit being almost as big. Or was he that big? Larxene wasn't exactly sure as she watched bemusedly. If she had a heart she would've been excited truly to see such a sight.
The Heartless, upon receiving the charged blow from Ifrit, staggered backwards. The main body, that is. The head seemed to shake itself as it stared at Ifrit from slamming into it. Its airborne arms went for Ifrit whilst its stomping feet went for Yuna. The Dusk from before appeared next to Larxene silently. Waiting to see if she had anything else for it to do.
Larxene simply looked over to it and gave it a nod. A sign for the Dusk that it could leave now. The Dusk blinked a her for a few seconds and stood there for a full minute before actually leaving through a portal. Honestly, Larxene believed the Dusks were slow upstairs. She waited to see what the big armored Heartless could make of them or what they'd make of the Heartless.

After tearing the main body away from the other limbs, Ifrit proceeded to stomp on it with it's strong hind legs, the talons of his feet digging into the Heartless as he did so. He was knocked off balance by the two other limbs the headed toward him, but he then sent a stream of fire from his mouth at the two, continuing to rip at the other one.
Yuna was now fulling healed after the blow, and she stood up, noticing that the two feet were headed in her direction. Since this seemed this was going to be a melee combat, Yuna's magic wouldn't do much good if she didn't have time to concentrate. She took out a blue sphere from her robes, a dress sphere.
She pushed in against herself and her staff immediatly disappeared, replaced with an exact replica of Tidus's sword. Normally, dress spheres would change her entire appearance, but she didnt have time for that, as she charged with her cerulean sword brandished in the air, bringing it down on one of the feet.

Larxene peered down at the battle. Ifrit seemed to be holding well. In fact, the beast had the main body of the Heartless down. Ifrit was knocked off balance as the two arms went at him. Ifrit reacted by flaming or at least trying to burn the arms. The armored arms were affected but not destroyed yet. They had a stronger endurance than meek Shadow heartless.
This might be a long battle. Not too long but long. As Ifrit clawed at the main body, the two arms attacking him tried their best to fight him off of the main body. Flailing wildly at him here and there. Trying to land a hit on the big beast. The stomping feet were slightly taken aback by Yuna's attack to the feet. Having already brought down a sword instead of the previous staff to attack the armored feet with.
The foot that wasn't stabbed, attempted to try and kick Yuna aside but there was a good chance it could miss. Larxene blinked as Yuna's staff became a sword instead. How peculiar yet interesting all the same. There was a lot more to Yuna than what she appeared to be.

As Zexion is quietly drinking some tea in a a cafe he heard the towns people talk about Heartless appearing at the other side of town.Zexion was smart enough to disguise himself like he's old human appearance the one known as Lenzo since the people thought Organization 13 was destroyed it would have been suspicion to be near Disney's Castle and be in black cloth...As he heard he left his tea and wonder who this was fighting the meaningless Heartless.As he entered through one a black portal he appear at the top of a clock tower...he couldn't believe who it was he was seeing...it was Larxene The Savage Neigh "Hm...I though Sora had destroyed her...as a matter of fact I though all members of Organization 13 had been obliterated...why don't I go over there ad say "hi".
As The Cloaked Schemer ones more got into the dark portal he appears behind Larxene "Why Larxene I'm so happy to see you" as he grins

Ifrit howled and jumped off of the main body after being assaulted again by the two floating limbs. He dug his claws into the ground, pawing at it like a bull would when it was about to charge. Since most of the other limb was taken care of, the beast now turned his full attention to the other two that were left, still hanging in midair. He let out another roar, the sheer force of it making the ground shake.
Hopefully, this roar had disabled the limbs for a moment or two, because directly after doing so, Ifrit charged at the left one, his mouth still hanging open as he spread apart his jaws and chomped down on the forearm of the floating limb, shaking it in it's mouth like a dog would with a bone.
Yuna seemed to be having difficult fighting two giant feet by herself. So, she somersaulted backwards out of any oncoming attacks, placing a palm over the cerulean blade, muttering another few words under her breath. And the blade instantly drapped in temperature, the whole of it was now frozen due to her spell, Ice Brand.
Now, she charged, the hilt of the sword held by both hands at her side as she slashed diagonally at the same foot she fought with last time. The frost residue after the slash would spread, temporarily imobilizing the foot from moving, much like a stun. After this, she turned to the other foot, preparing to do the exact same thing to it.

Larxene furrowed her eyebrows as she pondered as to why it felt like SHE was being watched. The Savage Nymph (Not neigh because she'd be a horse lol!) peered over her shoulder but saw no one there. Shrugging, she brought her attention back onto the battle below. Smirking a bit as she watched. This was almost like the Coliseum but better!
The fight looked quite interesting. Ifrit had managed to severely damage that arm he had attacked and then grabbed the other in his teeth from having disabled the arms from roaring. An interesting tactic. The main body was still stunned for a bit. It remained motionless on the ground for now. Yuna, on the other hand, had somehow caused her sword's blade to freeze the attacking feet stunning them.
'Wow, I must give her credit for that idea!' she thought. It was then that her attention had been pulled away from the fight going on in the center of the square by a familiar voice. It couldn't be! Could it? Larxene stood to her full height before turning around to find a familiar looking face. Ienzo...well, more like Zexion, really.
Honestly, she hadn't thought any others had survived that incident with Sora. She placed a hand on her hip when the other grinned at her. She raised an eyebrow before saying "....Happy to see me?! Now why is that when it was so obvious in the past that you planned on having Riku counter Marluxia's Sora plan?" she questioned him.
She hadn't talked much to Zexion, number six before. He was a higher up from her ranking but she still wasn't trusting and another's rank mattered not to Larxene unless you were Xemnas. Not having encountered the Cloaked Schemer that much, she couldn't truly trust him. Her trust had been with Marluxia and Axel but Axel deceived that trust and if she were to encounter him again, she'd kill him. "So...you're back, Ienzo...or rather....Zexion!" she said. She was savage as ever, hence her title.
The big armored Heartless still had a trick up its sleeve. Once they had defeated all of its body parts, newer ones appeared! This time, though, the body took on a different appearance. The head was no longer where it shoulder be and was on an upside down torso. The feet became the arms and the arms became the feet. It was reversed now!

As Larxene seem not to glad to see him Zexion shrugs "Yes,it is me Larxene,Zexion.I though you be glad to see me" says Zexion as he knew Nobodies had no feelings.
After words Zexion had gone back to his normal Nobody self with black cloak "That is all in the past,Larxene.Both plans failed thanks to that meddling Sora and that annoying Riku...now what are you up to...Savage Nymph...I smell the scent of Nobodies"

"Damn.. this is harder than I thought.." Yuna says as she watches the Heartless reassemble it's limbs and then switch their positions. The feet became the arms and the arms became the feet... how ironic. This was one of the strangest beasts she'd ever seen, and it didn't make the battle any easier.
Ifrit backed up from the limbs, growling in his throat. Yuna turned to him, shifting glances between the heartless and her summon. "Alright, this has gone far enough..." She cups her hands over her blade, the orb entering it as it drastically changes into a staff again. "Ifirit! Venez!"
Ifrit turned his head toward Yuna, then charges in her direction. She promptly jumps up into the air and lands on Ifrit's back. Standing up, she faces the enemy. Her staff held forward in her hand. Another aura appears around her as she begins yet another spell, though she quickly turns to Ifrit again. "Vers le haut de! Vers le haut de!"
Ifrit nods and crouches in the ground, as if preparing to charge, but directly the opposite. After a few more seconds, he springs his hind legs upward, soaring into the air as Yuna concentrates on her spell, keeping the enemy in her sights.

Larxene honestly had to agree with what Zexion just said about the plans having both failed because of Sora. However, being as stubborn as she was she wasn't going to tell him that. Besides, Zexion was one of the organization's smarty pants. Of course he'd know such a thing like that. Larxene glanced over her shoulder at the battle to check up on things.
It was ironic that the thing changed form seemingly. She brought her electric blue eyes back towards Zexion when hearing what else he was saying. She laughed at that. "What am I up to?!" she repeated before walking up to him and grabbing apiece of his flopped over hair and lifting it up to peer at both of his. "Can't you smell such a thing, dear Cloaked Schemer?" she taunted him.
She let the hair drop back to its former place before turning away from him and shaking her head. "If you knew how savage I can be, you'd clearly be able to tell that I used a fellow Dusk to lure that girl down there and her summon right into that trap with that big Heartless involved!" she said as she pointed down below with her finger. Looking back towards Zexion with the same evil grin she always held when doing sinister deeds. "...As for you smelling the scent of Nobodies, that's simple...you and I are Nobodies! Duh! Unless you smell another fellow organization member?" she inquired. Raising an eyebrow as she glanced back at her floppy haired comrade. Pfft! Comrade! Like anyone got along that well in the organization! Then again, she had with Marluxia and Axel in the past.
The Heartless, meanwhile, blinked as Yuna leapt onto Ifrit's back and they leapt at it. The Heartless reacted by bringing it's feet-hands into the air in attempts to knock the oncoming Ifrit away.
Larxene furrowed an eyebrow before asking "By the way, how DID you come back into existence?"

"Should have known you were up to something like this..." as he approches and looks at the girl Larxene had talk about.He keeps looking and then answers Larxene's question "It was one of those stuped lackeys of king Mickey's...the fools they restore my stone...what about you Savage Nymph...how where you restored?"

Yuna had not willed Ifrit to directly confront the Heartless but rather circle around them, high up in the air. The flames at Ifrit's heels seemed to allow him to levitate in the air without falling. Whilst Yuna was half-way through her spell, Ifrit begins charging another orb of flame energy in his mouth, the flames lighting up the sky.
Yuna lifts her staff into a horizontal position, closing her eyes as an orb appears in front of her also, but it was a real light blue color... the color of ice. By now both orbs were about the same size, and Yuna opens her eyes. First, she raises her staff and [rompts the ball of ice forward toward the enemy, then she orders Ifrit to throw the ball of fire at it. Ifrit's powers was able to keep it at the right temperature so that the ice wouldn't melt.
After this, the fire orb eventually slams into the ice, breaking the ball into millions of flaming shard pieces. The shards then rain down upon the Heartless, making it almost impossible to dodge. If Larxene and Zexion didn't move, they would be hit with them too.

Larxene raised both of her eyebrows as she glanced back towards Zexion. Taking her eyes off of the battle below again. "So...you were restored by a orb of some sorts?" she questioned. She found that a bit odd but then again, maybe not so. The Cloaked Schemer had his ways from time to time that over exceeded what Vexen did in the past.
She hadn't immediately answered his question yet as she brought her gaze back towards Yuna and Ifrit fighting the Heartless. "...Well...Honestly....I haven't the slightest idea!" she answered. Gazing fixedly at the fight. Yuna and Ifrit appeared as though they were going to finish off that Heartless for good. "In fact, it seems as though I did die but somehow was reformed by the darkness of Kingdom Hearts and revived again!" she told Zexion.
Oh, she was grateful for that. Being able to come back and have her revenge if she could. It was then that the Savage Nymph took note that whatever Yuna had up her sleeve, it seemed that it may affect her and Zexion. Yes, ice and fire didn't mix too well if kept at the right temperature. By the looks of things, it was at the right temperature as of now and the fireball the beast made collided with that ice Yuna threw down.
Shards of ice were falling down and if they didn't move quickly, they'd be hurt by them. Larxene whipped her head back towards Zexion before saying "If you don't wish to die again, duck into a portal NOW!" After having said this, Larxene extended her hand and swiftly opened up a portal before leaping into it at her top most speed. Seeming to be like a mere blur as she did so. The portal left open if Zexion were going to jump in as well.
