Halloween or Christmas?

Xion opened the portal to find her self in Halloween Town , and saw that her outfit had changed She was shocked to see that her hair was ten times longer than normal , she had on a little red top hat with a black veil on it. It was a bit hard to see so she shoved it out of the way.The dress was Tu-Tu ish with purple stripes . She shrugged and went over and leaned on the fountain . "why am i even here?" She laughed. Before she could move something rose up be hind her. It caught the corner of her eye , quickly she summoned her Keyblade. "WELCOME TO HALLOWEEN TOWN!!" it was jack. Xion sighed in relief " T-thank you..." Still panting a bit she looked up at jack who was still standing in the fountain.

" So jack...why dose the town seem so empty..It's close to Halloween Isn't it?" Jack Shrugged his shoulders. " I don't know but all month Ive been trying to get the heartless to dance with me for our big Halloween bash!!" Xion smiled a bit "w-wait did you say Heartless....?" Her smile Faded and her eyes widened. " Yes Heartless it seems that the town people are afraid of them , but i love a good scare."

Xion looked around a bit "Okay so....were are the heartless?" Jack shrugged again "I don't know i think most of them are hiding but they wont come out. Zero can help you find them if your willing to help." Jack let out a soft whistle Xion couldn't really hear it. After that a little ghost dog appeared. Xion looked wide eyed at the dog. Jack handed a bone to Xion and said " If you give him a bone he'll lead you to the heartless.She nodded "Okay will do." Jack soon left Xion to get to the job. She walked over to Zero and handed him a bone . He sniffed around and lead Xion to a far off part of the Town. He sniffed around a tombstone the began to circle it. "I guess you found one huh?" She walked over to it and looked around it. A Heartless popped out.She quickly wiped out the heartless before going to pick up another bone for Zero. The Ghost dog too the next bone but lead her away from were all the heartless were hiding he lead her to a forest were the trees had doors on theme , He lead her to one of the door with a Christmas tree on it . Xion opened the door and looked inside , she looked around and saw it was dark until Zero knocked her in "WHAA!!!" She hit the snow pretty hard she looked up wide eyed and gasped a bit. and stood up. "whoa...cooool!" She smiled wide and ran twords the town. The town was decorated brightly with Christmas lights and trees. She smiled even wider and walked around a bit. She was surprised to find heartless roaming around here.

Izzy's rocket landed on this strange planet. The little knowledge that she extracted from her spaceship before landing told her this was halloween town, but she still had no idea what that meant. As she got out of the ship, she tripped and landed flat on her face. F***** dirt, in this **** planet, gawd! As she attempted to get up she noticed that her leg fell off. Her eyes grew wide in amazement, she didn't even feel it.

As she looked down at the rest of her body her eyes grew even wider, everything was different. Instead of her natural pale, white complexion she was now a mucus green, and had long stitch marks on various parts on her body. To go with this her blonde hair was now straightened and was an auburn color, and her clothes had changed to a long black dress. How the hell did i get in the dress?! Further inspection she noticed that her sword was still with her yet instead of having its sheath it was placed directly inside her leg with the halberd sticking out, yet she didn't feel a thing. That's cool i guess.

Yet, her leg was still off. Not knowing how to reattach it, Izzy just sat there until a girl that looked just like her came up, and just randomly sat down and sowed it back on. "Hi my name is Sally, and ya this happens to me a lot to." But just as randomly as she came, she left without Izzy being able to answer her. What is wrong with this god forsaken place?!"

To go with this craziness, all the sudden ropes swooped around her like a snake, and a bag was pulled over her body, then it felt like she was moving. The ride she was taking was rather bumpy and she kept hearing rather obnoxious kids talking the whole time. "Do you kids ever shut up?!"

"How dare you talk to us like that, Oogie Boogie will get you for that!"

Then the ride continued, obviously the kids had some false threats because from as far as Izzy knew Ooogie Boogie wasn't even a real name, so how could that even be a person. So, she just sat there, waiting; then abruptly she stopped.

"We decided to spare you, so... Heave ho!"

While they were talking the vehicle thing that was carrying her, started to get higher and higher, then it tilted and made her slide off the edge. Then she was floating, or falling she couldn't tell. The fall seemed to last a few minutes before finally she landed in snow, right next to someone.

"Dang kids, If i ever see them again i'll gut them and hang them by there own innards."

Xion's eyes widened as she looked at the bundle that plopped down next to her.She quickly untied it and took the bag off of her head. "Are you okay?" She looked up at the door and growled a bit. She knew it was those D*** kids again. "she saw the girl was in pieces and stitched her back together again. "I'm Xion..." She said after helping the girl that fell out of the door.

Well now this was an interesting turn of events for a certain silvery haired angel of death, one moment he was in castle oblivion minding his own business the next he is now sitting in the middle of a field of snow. He looked at his outfit and saw it just looked a bit more festive, his clothing was really only changed to be the color red with white furry trimmings and he now had a small red hat with a white fur trimming near the base and a ball of white fur at the top. Kuja slowly stood up and ignored how chilly it was now due to the snow and cold temperature, he looked around and then said to himself "Well.......this was unexpected."

Kuja thought back to what has happened and figured he had let his guard down just enough for a few heartless to make a darkness portal and drag him off to this world, why he had no idea but either way he didn't exactly enjoy being moved from his original location by force. Either way he now started to float in the air with his feet barely off the ground, with that he darted forward over the snow looking for something to help him get back to Castle Oblivion so he could teach those heartless a lesson in pain.

As he flew through the air he soon had to put up a shield using his orbs as a bullet smashed into it, well three bullets to be exact and they did hit quite hard. Kuja looked to see it was a few heartless that looked like jack in the boxes, he didn't know much about those kind but either way he was not pleased at being shot at. He then said "That was a bad move on your part........" with that he sent six of the orbs out to blast them to bits, two for each one. The orbs smashed into them knocking them way up into the air when they burst, anyone near by would see the snow that was flung up into the air by the attacks. The heartless hit the ground hard too when they came back down, but they were not dead yet since these were the type that needed to get hit a quite a few times before going down.

Xion rose to her feet and wandered farther into the town. She left the stitched up girl seeing that she was back together and the way she had her put together she wouldn't be falling apart anytime soon.

She noticed another person here with her and the other girl wiping out heartless.She peeked out from behind a wall and watched him fight I haven't seem him around befor...

Kuja watched as the heartless slowly gathered themselves up off the ground and got ready to fire another volley of bullets at him, he easily dodged them though by simply moving around to keep out of their line of fire having the bullets hit the snow right behind him every time they fired. He gathered up his orbs and sent all seven of them at the heartless after they were all lined up, the orbs hit one but kept going pushing the first one into the second one and finally into the third one.

The heartless kept flying even after the orbs finally disappeared and as they flew they all smashed into the wall that was being used by Xion to hide behind, they exploded into darkness and disappeared letting their three hearts float away before disappearing as well. Kuaj then noticed Xion and figured she might know how to get him back to his current home world, and so he started to slowly float toward her as he said "You there, I wish to speak with you."

Xion stepped out from behind the wall , Her keyblade tight in her hand she looked at the man and saw that he never touched the ground. She observed how he fought. Mainly dodging using orbs to attack. She stepped forward " Yeah?" He said he needed to speak with her. Xion griped her keyblade tighter as she walked forward and stopped.

Kuja looked the girl over and figured she was a young teenager and her energy was much like that of the weaker nobodies he had seen, so in short he already knew what she was and could guess her age. He then saw the keyblade and was a bit.......confused as he did not quite understand what that was exactly suppose to do, it just looked like a giant old fashion key so he figured the weapon was used a bit like a club he supposed.

No matter the girl didn't attack yet and so he had no reason to attack her though his orbs had not replenished themselves as they orbited around him as if he was the sun and they were planets. He then said "Greetings. I wish to ask you if you know of a way for me to return to a world called Castle Oblivion." Kuja normally would just force a person but at the moment he wasn't in the mood to have to track down another person to help him.

Xion gave him a confused look before another memory rushed to her head. She shook her head and looked back at the man, she figure someone like him would know how to use the Dark Corridors "Can you summon a Corridor? She asked him . Her keyblade vanishing from her hand.

She made a note of the man he seemed to be powerful but didn't want to cause any harm..For the moment, She figured that all he wanted was a way out of this....how should i put it.....monument to Christmas lights?

Kuja listened to the girl and shook his head in annoyance to her question as it did bother him greatly to not be able to use something a child knows about, he then said "Normally I do not need to worry about making a Corridor, but now it seems I will have to learn it. All I ask is for you to create one or help me find someone who can create one and I am sure I will be able to figure the rest of it out." Kuja was a quick study when it came to using magic he just needed to see this Corridor spell she was talking about and he could learn how to do it.

Unknown to Xion if she did help him learn this she would be helping a dangerous enemy get from one world to another, and that is never a good thing when a villain is able to travel easily from one place to the next.

Xion shook her head. "I think you should find your own way out. I see no reason to help you at all She turned and started off.

OOC: *laughs* You only did that to save you from being blamed oh well, now you die.

IC: Kuja was rather confused by her snippy little response but confused or not he was not pleased with her comment, the orbs locked onto her back and with that he said "It is rude to act like that young lady, now I have to teach you a lesson in manners........if you live that is." With that the orbs shot off toward her and she would be hard press to knock all seven away as he himself floated backwards to put a bit of distance between himself and her.

Xion jumped and summoned her keyblade blocking only a few of the orbs taking damage from the rest. Nyeh.. the force pushed her back a bit. She glared at him the only one that needs to be taught manners it you! She slashed at him with her key before jumping back and getting some distance again.

Kuja watched Xion slash at him but he simply uses the new orbs to block the attack and so her blade pinged off the orbs and as he watched her jump back he brought one of his orbs up to his face and with little concern blew some energy into it. He didn't through it right away though no he kept the orb in his right hand as a new seventh orb took the now spell orb's place, he then fired all Seven at Xion again hoping for an opening he could use to knock her out with this sleep spell.

Sleep spell MP used 10
MP left 0
Sleep spell will last for two of Xion's post if she is hit when Kuja uses it.

Xion's eyes widened and she dodges again. She huffed and stood to her feet again. "i-it's to early to use my forms......" She looked at her keyblade "maybe....i don't have a choice."

Kuja just shook his head and looked at the girl as he said "My my my aren't you pathetic? Is that all you can do, Kairi and Riku were much better fights on their own. You can't even seem to do much other than dodge and slash......I suppose you won't show me the Dark Corridor ability because you don't have it. How does it feel to be utterly and truly worthless little crow." Kuja never called someone a crow before but the girl's hair color and the fact she was so utterly weak made him call her such an insulting pet name. At the very least he called Riku a raven which at least wasn't too insulting, either way Kuja was growing bored with this as the spell he held didn't even seem worth the trouble of using on her. He formed Seven more orbs and sent them at her from different directions and had them locked onto her, she would have fun dodging them if anything.

Xion being hit with the last orb fell to her knees. He was right....She didn't even remember were she came from or what happened to her. She dropped the keyblade and it vanished. She sat there holding her side. Y-your right......I am worthless..... She had to admit that he was way stronger than her. She couldn't beat him even if she tried. Xion looked down at the ground and sighed.

Kuja grinned inwardly but on the outside he kept a blank impassive face, he looked her over and figured with work she could be a good soldier if anything else. So he looked her over before saying "But then again I suppose with some work I could train you to be worth something at least, but I suppose you don't want that do you?" Kuja had kept his sleep spell just in case, even though he had Kairi already he figured one could never have enough people working under them. If anything the girl would make a good living shield against the hero's if they tried to stop him with his plans of destruction and conquering, it all just depended on if he could bait Xion into working for him.

Xion lifted her head Really? you would train me? In disbelief Xion stood to her feet and nodded.Okay.. She stepped forward a bit before stopping. She thought to her self and wondered if her friends would be okay without her.

Kuja was a bit disappointed how easy that was but then again who cares he got his next little pawn/student and he didn't mind the fact it was so easy, he quickly started to think of how to get them out of here but finally chose to find a heartless or nobody and force it to submit to his will and take them back to Castle Oblivion. He then said "Yes I will train you but under a few conditions.......firstly you will have a spell placed on you where you cannot attack me. Unless I of course attack you then you are allowed to defend yourself, I am a fair man but I am not foolish enough to trust you will not try to kill me while I sleep. Secondly you will call me either Master Kuja, or Teacher your choice as either one will do." Kuja was going to keep this girl under control as he was not going to be foolish like Garland was with him.

Xion Nodded. "Y-yes." She looked up at him What would you have me do..?. She wasn't foolish enough to try and attack him. Xion began to think to herself.


Xion's Inner thoughts :Well....this is it i have no other choice. If im as weak as he says i am then what choice do I have in the first place?? -sigh- Okay. I'll go through with it.....Roxas...I'm sorry

Kuja nodded his head and as he did he gathered up some energy to cause a small orb of magic to form, when he reached her he pressed it into her throat though not too hard as it disappeared into her flesh. Soon a mark formed on her neck as it looked like a magical rune of sorts, it glowed with a faint energy as he said "There due to your agreement that spell now prevents you from attacking me, if you try to attack me lets just say that you will be the one feeling your blows. Not I, now come I have little love for this......Christmas town and we need to introduce you to your fellow classmate of sorts." with that Kuja floated off toward a location he knew would produce a few heartless, he was dead set on forcing one to take him back to Castle Oblivion.

**You can pick the glow of the rune and what it looks like, so enjoy oh and if you want the topic to end here. Well just say topic ended in your post and that will be that.**

Xion noticed the light purple-ish glow of the rune. She sighed. I can get you were you need to go She touched her hand over the symbol on her throat. She shook her head before turning away from Kuja and raising her hand. A orb of darkness formed into her hand before spilling out and forming a dark corridor. She turned back to him and stood there next to it. Her face blank with no expression.

Kuja looked over at Xion and saw her use the ability of hers that she spoke of, he had watched her closely and thanks to his sixth sense he could see the type of magic int he spell. He would need to practice but Kuja was sure he learned enough to use that spell himself in due time, he walked into the Dark Corridor with Xion beside him as he said "Before this is all said and done my dear, you will be far stronger in the mystic arts than most. Though your training with the blade will have to be between you and your classmate, I do not fight with such weapons so I know only how to augment them with magic not how to use them well." As they walked through the Portal it started to slowly close behind them, if anyone wanted to stop this they would have to move very quickly to reach the portal.
