A Rather Confused Nobody

Roxas was distracted by Xion walking around him. His eyes followed her joyfully, yet he sprang into action as she bolted off towards the large rock formation in the distance. He had transformed into a rather mighty lion and he was still getting accustomed to his "lion-legs". It took him a while to get all of that weight into motion , but once he did, he felt as though he could fly.

He came up on Xion's right side at first and pushed his head against her hip, letting her know that he was about to catch up to her. As he slammed his paws harder against the ground, he took his focus off of where he placed them, which wasn't a good idea at the speeds he was traveling. He soon found himself tripping over a stick and face planting the hard ground below. Roxas flipped forwards once and slid on his side for a couple of feet before rolling over and rushing to get back on his feet. He then proceeded to sprint towards Xion.

"That hurt!" he said as he once again came up on her right side. This time he backed off a bit as he was now right beside her.

Xion kept Running and Watched Roxas tumble around as they entered the Graveyard and she stopped. She looked around and walked slowly. The huge rock that they had seen was visible beyond here. She crept around staying close to Roxas. I dont like this place...It creeps me out.

Roxas was laughing and smiling, not paying attention to their new surroundings until Xion slowed down to a steady walk. He stopped and looked at her, cocking his head to the side out of confusion at first before looking at the ground...it was solid dirt, the grass had stopped some twenty yards previously. All of the lush greenery they once were embraced by, now seemed so distant.

He took a few steps forwards, looking left to right, noticing every detail of this horrific place. Then he noticed the large elephant skull in front of them. It had no flesh left upon the bone, just a terrible, cold, chilling remaining skeleton.

From deep within the structure they heard an eery sound, it was the sound of what seemed to be a deranged fiend's laughter. Then out of the eyes and the mouth came three dog looking creatures, charcoal colored coats with black spots covered their bodies. Just the sight of these animals was enough to cause the hair on the back of Roxas' mane to stand up.

"Looks like lunch time boys." said the obvious ring leader of the bunch while the one of the left continued to laugh while wagging his tongue.

Roxas then looked at Xion and raised one eye brow.

"Looks like we are going to have to show these punks the order of the food chain..."

The fiends laughed before charging. From deep within Roxas' throat erupted a roar that would shake the ground. He lowered his head, snarling as the fiends grew ever closer. As the first approached him, he bit down on its neck as it tried to jump on him. Roxas then bit down a little harder and smirked at the hyena yelped.

The nobody then threw his head to the side, throwing the hyena against the wall of the cliff nearby. He then turned around, ready to fight off more.

Xion growled as one of the hyenas jumped on her back. She flung him off twords the other direction. Xion reader herself for another attack when they turned and started to run. She smiled triumph and turned back to roxas grinning. Zion went over to him and nudges him lovingly and laughed "Well that was Fun." she laughed again

Roxas winked at her as she first turned around. He then took in a deep breath as his nose trapped her sweet aroma while she nuzzled against him. It was an automatic reaction for him to purr, which he tried to muzzle, yet it was more than likely too late, Xion probably heard it.

Roxas laughed the slightest bit in an odd attempt to cover it up before he began walking again. All around them were bones and skeletons of animals and beasts that were long forgotten. It was quite a tragic sight, yet it was so full of mystery.

"I wonder what happened here..."

Xion smiled as she herd him purr. And started walking again. " I don't like this place the skeleton head.." she shivered a bit and hot near Roxas again. "l-let's hurry and go to the rock, Okay?"

Roxas nudged her playfully as they both continued to travel through the wastelands. The air was filled with an eery feeling. Perhaps it was all of the skeletons and the remains of many animals, yet it was eery none the less and they both were ready to make an exit.

As the breeze picked up, they came to an opening which would lead them to another part of the savanah, this time a bit closer to the large rock foration that they were trying so earnestly to reach. Off in the distance they could see caribou and zebras at the watering hole, drinking til their bellies were full.

Roxas noticed a mother giraffe, trying to teach her new born how to stand and walk on such long legs. It was a rather amusing sight, thus causing him to erupt in a spell of laughter.

"Life is so beautiful..."

Zion watched the little giraffe in awe at how adorable it was. She looked at Roxas and laughed along with him before jumping from hearing a mighty roar come from the Rock. Xion perked up at the roar and started off twoards it. She struggled to get through the grass because as a lioness she had a short attention spand and stared at every other butterfly that flew past her. " Let's ho see what made th....Ohh a bug! I called it! She ponced at the insect but wasn't fast enough to get it. She blinked and got back on track again , before seeing a bird. This was going to take a while

The loud roar captured the mighty lion's attention. His ears became erect and let out a low growl, another reflex that couldn't be stopped.

His body soon fell low to the ground as he began to crawl in a stalking fashion. Perioddically he would gaze above the grass to make sure he was still traveling in the proper direction. He could make out a cat-like figure at the bulge of the rock.

Roxas then pointed with his right paw to the rock as he was trying to motion to Xion, who found a bug a bit more interesting.

"Um...Xion...you see that lion on the perch of the rock?...he doesn't look so friendly."

The lion that was upon the rock, was dark, yet not as dark as Xion. The said lion also had a scar underneath one of his eyes. Truly a scary looking individual.

Xion got low like Roxas and followed after the bug flew away just out of her reached they reached a rocky ground other lionesses walked around with sad looks on there faces,Xion looked concerned . "They look so miserable.. Maybe we should find a way to help them out . She looked at Roxas with begging eyes. Yepp Xion had Sora's will to help his friends .

Roxas complied, somehow, someway, they had to help these poor lionesses to recover from their poverty. It was quite obvious that the lion in charge was greedy and wasn't taking good care of his clan.

He looked at Xion with a look of disgust for the torture that these others lions were going through. It made him sick to his stomach to witness such a tragedy. Slowly he began to walk further, onto the rocky ground. The ground was cold, just like the heart of the lionesses' cowardly leader. Something had to change. Roxas knew that in order for these lionesses to have a better life, he and Xion would have to dispose of the dark lion with a scar...they would have to take his life...


"Let's go figure out a plan..."

Xion nodded in agreenment and followed slowly .Her slightly saddened eyes roaming around the place. the word horrible wasn't enough to describe what the lionesses where going through. After a while of the walk ,Roxas and Xion had come to a green land nothing there but a tall tree stood. Xion stopped and looked around before hearing something coming from the tree. She hot low in a stalking position and krept twords the sound "Come on Roxas." She whispered

As they approached the tree, Roxas laid his ears back and crouched down as he began to crawl in a minacing fashion. He followed closely beside Xion. The sounds they were hearing were quite odd and peculiar. It was like something was singing...but it was not too pleasing to one's ears.

The tree they began to come upon was large, it would take quite an effort to climb such a tree, yet Roxas wasn't sure what Xion had in mind at this point so he merely remained low, hidden in the grass.

"What now Xi?"

Xiob stood fully with a confused look.whoo are you? a baboon was standing in front of her. It started to sing the same annoying lyrics again. " What dose that even mean?!Xion snapped at him, he mearly laughed. It means you are a baboon and I'm not! the baboon swatted her with his staff. Ow! Xion rubbed her head with her paw. The baboon laughed again. I know who you are~ You've come to save us! Xion looked at him then at Roxas then back at him. bye! he ran off. Xion blinked. Come on Roxas Hurry! She bolted off in the baboon's direction.

The sight of the baboon was actually quite humorous to Roxas at first, that is until the baboon was swinging a large, wooden staff at his furry face. Roxas ducked just in time to miss the blow to the head, but was still aggrivated none the less.

"HEY! Why did you do that?"

The baboon had a sly grin on his face at this time. "It does not matter, tis in the past!" the monkey replied as he began to cackle with laughter before rushing off into the brush.

Then Xion demanded that Roxas follow along with her. He agreed by leaping into a sprint. He remained low to the ground, attempting to gain speed, yet the baboon was very difficult to keep up with.

As they continued to pursue the monkey, they came across some rough terrain. They rushed through grass, dirt, and even came across some thorns. Then they ran through a small tunnel. Still the baboon was taunting them telling them to hurry up along with many other things.

Eventually the tunnel opened up to a small pond with glorious dark blue water. Roxas slowed down as the baboon had come to a complete stop. At this time the moon had risen as the sun had set for the day. The stars filled the night sky, full of mystery and beauty. This scene was indescribeable.

Xion looked around in awe at the place, it was do beautiful she could barley form a sentence. "Its amazing here" she stopped as the baboon did when he raised his palm and shushed her. Xion looked at Roxas and shrugged. The baboon went forward and called out a name. "Ohh Simba!. .."Simba?" Xion herd the name before it confused her since she hadn't been here before. S mighty lion stepped goreward his red fur drapped over his shoulders . He looks like a king! she whispered to Roxas


OOC: miss me? .

-Bump-

OOC: I have missed you Xi! Glad to have you back.

IC: Roxas remained quiet as he slowly walked alongside Xion, getting closer to the water's edge with each step. The baboon was a rather curious creature, yet Roxas knew better than to ask questions. Soon, out of the darkness appeared a large lion. As Xion stated, he looked as a king...he ooked quite familiar actually.

"I do wonder who he is..."

Roxas stood there as the lion approached. At this point he was still quiet, awaiting for the king to speak first.


OOC: I apologize for my long absence Xi, but I'm back now.

OOC: Its alrigt Roxy I understand that you've been busy and so have I .

IC: Xion twithes her ear to try and hear he baboon and the lion whispering to one another and looking back at her and Roxas. She huffed and lowered her. Ears pouting. "There talking about us but I can't hear them ." She looked back at the lion, she knew his face but she'd never seen Him before. Xion shook her head, some of Sora's memories are still with hers , faces and places that she has never seen before are so familiar to her. Xion huffed and blew her bang out of her face at this slight annoyance.

Roxas cocked his head to the side as Xion informed him of what the lion and the baboon were talking about. He took another step forward, but the baboon cut a look at him and shook his long stick in his direction, thus causing Roxas to halt and turn back to Xion before giggling.

"I wonder why they are talking about us Xi...I swear...we know that lion from somewhere...hmmm."

Xion giggled as the baboon point Roxas away and tilted her head . Maaaybe we saw him in one of the worlds or some thing ? Even though.. I don't remember it . Zion closed her mouth as the lion approched herself and Roxas. Im Simba .. I suppost to be the king of this place. But Scar has taken over, him and his pack of hyenas have drivin away all of the prey and the lionesses are dieing out. Xion stood fully we'll do anything we can to help.. Your magesty Xion looked to Roxas. Right?
