Lost Remnants {Loz, Luxord, open}

[Luxord]

A dark wisp appeared before it enlargened into a portal, and a black-hooded figure emerged from the darkness. It lowered it's hood to reveal the male figure to be Luxord, the Gambler of Fate, member X of Organization XIII. He sighed, and sniffed the air, hurrying to his destination. His Superior had sent him on a recovery mission, and he had little choice but to accept. He hurried out of the alleyway he had appeared in, following the scent he was smelling.

He appeared out in the crowd near a very simular-looking hotel in the Second Distract, revealing him to be in Traverse Town, where the lost souls from worlds always seemed to end up. He hadn't had the pleasure of meeting anyone here yet, but he had the feeling he'd bump into someone soon, before or after he had found who he was looking for. Xemnas had been very specific about his target.

He ducked into another doorway in the buildings, ignoring the stares from the Heartless here. They would not attack him, so long as he was the strongest influence in the area. He stopped to pick up the scent again, and kept following it. The stench of darkness was strong on this one. He just hoped he would find the source soon, so he could complete his mission, and get out of this world.

It was like Port Royal or Tortuga, but without the lively friendly atmosphere. Shame... he wished he could be there right about now. He looked around the Gizmo Shop carefully, hearing the echoes of someone... crying.

[lozzzzzz]

Loz had been fighting the Heartless around the Second District since the moment he had entered the place. He was running from one district to the other, only to be attacked again. In the first district the people came after him and in the other districts, alleys and places Heartless attacked him. Loz was still crying, he felt lonely, now he missed not only mother, but also Kadaj and Yazoo. The lonelyness make him go berserk on the Heartless and he kept punching on them, using his speed ability he evaded their attacks and got quickly to the Mage Heartless who kept their distance.

"Kadaj? Yazoo?" Loz punches another Shadow Heartless as he started to get more angry, "you meanies!" He was getting overwelmed by the great amount, but kept standing very well and he ended up in the Gizmo Shop, there, still crying, he found even more Heartless. "Why you..." Loz started to cry even more as he fought his way through the Heartless. He wasn't used to be alone unless he was send with a purpose, right now he didn't knew what to do or where to go. Kadaj was always the brains, without him, Loz was lost.

[Luxord]

The Gizmo shop was a rather strange place for the trail to end. It had once been inhabited by a great inventor, but had been abandoned due to the Heartless. Still, the gears inside the old store grinded and moaned together in the darkness. Following the sounds of the crying, he rounded a corner and saw a large, physically built man fighting the Heartless, his azure eyes locking on him interestingly.

"The Heartless. A malevolence of avidity, wouldn't you say... Loz?"

He stood there for the Remnant to notice his presence, one hand tucked under his arm, the other stroking his platinum blonde goatee of a beard at the base of his chin.

[lozzzzzz]

Loz was still fighting the Heartless as he heard a voice, he used his Dual Hound to send one of the Shadow Heartless flying which disappeared with darkness and a glowing heart appeared flying. Loz hadn't been noticing the hearts that had been flying at all.

"The Heartless. A malevolence of avidity, wouldn't you say... Loz?"

The voice spoke his name and Loz looked quickly at where the voice came from and saw a man in black with blond short hair and a beard. The man was stroking his goatee with one arm. Loz was confused, how did the man knew his name? Loz came on the idea he was maybe sent by Mother and he was sent back to life by Mother as well.

"Heartless..."

Loz was still under attack by the Heartless and he wiped his tears away as he hit his pilebunker into the ground, creating a shockwave at the group of Heartless.

"Who are you? How do you know me?"

Loz turned to the man again.

[Luxord]

"Who are you? How do you know me?"

The man couldn't help but chuckle softly at the man's naiveity, moving his arms back to his sides.

"I am Luxord, the Gambler of Fate. I am also member X of a group of powerful beings called Nobodies. We are known as Organization XIII."

He paused, hands behind his back for a moment, as he paced in a circle around Loz, letting his words sink in. Then he spoke again, in a gap between the Heartless attacks. "As for how I knew who you were, the Organization is powerful, and knows many things. Such as you are Loz, one of the Remnants, a group of clones identical to the 'brother' you call Sephiroth, and born from the cells of who you call 'Mother' and whom everyone else calls Jenova. We also know other things... such as not what the Heartless are, but how they can be influenced... like so."

He clicked his fingers, and suddenly the Heartless that were attacking Loz stopped in their advance, and moved over around Luxord as they awaited patiently for their next command.

"Do I have your attention now?" Luxord asked Loz boldly, smirking proudly. "Or, I can set these Heartless on you so you can fight them again, if you so prefer. But I think you also might like to hear what I have to say next."

He strode out of the group of lined-up Heartless, stepping closer to Loz, letting the tension build so Loz would hang onto every word he had to say before he stopped a few steps away from him.

"Also, as a member of Organization XIII, I know where your brothers are..."

[lozzzzzz]

The man let out a chuckle, which irritated Loz a little, it seemed as he was seen as a fool or something.

"I am Luxord, the Gambler of Fate. I am also member X of a group of powerful beings called Nobodies. We are known as Organization XIII."

Nobodies? What a strange name, just like Heartless. Member X, Luxord, Organisation XIII. Loz didn't knew anything about any of them. Loz watched Luxord as he walked around and Loz was still fighting Heartless, but the Heartless didn't attack him. Was he the leader?

"As for how I knew who you were, the Organization is powerful, and knows many things. Such as you are Loz, one of the Remnants, a group of clones identical to the 'brother' you call Sephiroth, and born from the cells of who you call 'Mother' and whom everyone else calls Jenova. We also know other things... such as not what the Heartless are, but how they can be influenced... like so."

Loz looked surprised at the man, he knew a lot about his family, why would they know so much about him? Loz watched as Luxord clicked his fingers and Heartless stopped their attack. He was the leader? Or what was going on?

"Do I have your attention now? Or, I can set these Heartless on you so you can fight them again, if you so prefer. But I think you also might like to hear what I have to say next."

Loz was getting angry at the man before him, this Luxord had to watch his mouth or he'd play with him instead of these black creatures. And Loz was creating a fist where he wore his pilebunker, Dual Hound, to strike at this man that was getting closer to him.

"Also, as a member of Organization XIII, I know where your brothers are..."

This completely surprised Loz, taking away his anger, leaving him in a shocked state.

"Brothers? Kadaj and Yazoo? Where are they? How can I find them?"

Loz was nearly jumping of happiness. He'd find his brothers! They could all get together again. Loz forgot about all that Luxord had said before and only wanted to know where he could find Kadaj and Yazoo, yelling for them.

[Luxord]

"Brothers? Kadaj and Yazoo? Where are they? How can I find them?"

"Simple, my friend. And easy there, I recommend you calm yourself. If you destroy or injure me, I won't be able to take you to your brothers. Which is what I am offering you." Luxord said to him casually, stepping backwards within his supportive group of Heartless.

"In return, however, I expect something of you. The Heartless are part of the coming darkness which threatens the existance of all worlds, and those living in them, including your brothers. Organization XIII has allied with the Light, and we need all the fighters we can get in the coming war. I will take you to your brothers, under the one condition you must do that one something in return for me... and that is, you must argue the point to your brothers that the Remnants join the Light and the Organization against the Heartless." he explained the circumstances of the deal, and why he was here. He looked at Loz curiously, wondering if he would take the deal.

"Simple, really... these Heartless are the darkness of a person's heart. Their purpose is to seek out and steal strong hearts... like yours... and ones like yours and your brothers, full of darkness, would be very... attractive towards them." he suggested smugly. "So really, if you think about it, it's a win-win situation. You reunite with your long lost brothers, and get the army you need to take on the ever-growing Heartless army that will forever be attempting to steal your heart... and trust me, there are far more powerful Heartless out there that are more than you and your brothers can withstand being overwhelmed in darkness by."

He patted one of the Heartless on the head, reminding Loz they had been attacking him only minutes before. Then, he stepped forward, more slowly and cautiously this time as he extended one of his black gloved hands for Loz to shake.

"So, do we have an accord? Do you want to see your brothers, right now?"

[lozzzzzz]

"Simple, my friend. And easy there, I recommend you calm yourself. If you destroy or injure me, I won't be able to take you to your brothers. Which is what I am offering you." Loz slowly calmed down, but was still a bit cheerfully.

"In return, however, I expect something of you. The Heartless are part of the coming darkness which threatens the existance of all worlds, and those living in them, including your brothers. Organization XIII has allied with the Light, and we need all the fighters we can get in the coming war. I will take you to your brothers, under the one condition you must do that one something in return for me... and that is, you must argue the point to your brothers that the Remnants join the Light and the Organization against the Heartless." Loz blinked. He wasn't the leader. "I accept, but Kadaj is the one who leads. I just follow what he says. Brother is the smartest."

"Simple, really... these Heartless are the darkness of a person's heart. Their purpose is to seek out and steal strong hearts... like yours... and ones like yours and your brothers, full of darkness, would be very... attractive towards them. So really, if you think about it, it's a win-win situation. You reunite with your long lost brothers, and get the army you need to take on the ever-growing Heartless army that will forever be attempting to steal your heart... and trust me, there are far more powerful Heartless out there that are more than you and your brothers can withstand being overwhelmed in darkness by." Loz nodded. "I accept, but it will be difficult to get my brothers over. I'm no one without them and they wouldn't listen to me that quickly. Especially in these matters. But I will try my best."

Loz watched the man pat one of the Heartless. Were they just pets? Loz felt sick and disgusted, but saw the man reach his hand out to Loz. "So, do we have an accord? Do you want to see your brothers, right now?"[/quote] And Loz took the hand. "We have an accord. May this operation be succesful." He grinned at Luxord.

[Luxord]

"I only ask that you try. It's a risk we'll have to gamble with." he smiled and shook Loz's hand. "So we have a deal. Very well, but I and Organization XIII see all the cards everyone is holding. We will be watching you on the shadows to make sure you hold up on your part of the deal, Loz. Well, I guess we won't be needing these Heartless anymore, then." he considered, and clicked his fingers, making the Heartless disappear in a wisp of black portals.

"The Heartless are simple-minded, instictive creatures, but their stronger leaders are more advanced in thought. They follow whoever has the strongest influence in the area. Remember that." he informed Loz, and made a dark portal big enough for Loz to enter appear next to him.

"This portal will take you to one or both of your brothers. To make sure you don't get lost in the Corridors to Darkness and that I uphold my end of the deal, I shall follow you. Proceed." he instructed, leaving Loz to walk into the shadowy doorway that wisped and hummed before him.

(OOC: We're not going to go there straight after this thread, but if you like you may exit this thread and you can PM me when you want Loz to appear to his brothers, since I have an understanding you guys don't want to find each other yet. Okay?)

[lozzzzzz]

"I only ask that you try. It's a risk we'll have to gamble with. So we have a deal. Very well, but I and Organization XIII see all the cards everyone is holding. We will be watching you on the shadows to make sure you hold up on your part of the deal, Loz. Well, I guess we won't be needing these Heartless anymore, then." Loz watched the Heartless disappear. He wondered if he could learn how to do that as well.

"The Heartless are simple-minded, instictive creatures, but their stronger leaders are more advanced in thought. They follow whoever has the strongest influence in the area. Remember that." Loz watched as Luxord made a portal appear. "So even I can make these creatures follow me? How?" He grinned as it would be of great use.

"This portal will take you to one or both of your brothers. To make sure you don't get lost in the Corridors to Darkness and that I uphold my end of the deal, I shall follow you. Proceed." Loz looked at the portal. If it was a trap, he would have many problems. He was the biggest fool to always end up in such traps. Loz lifted his leg and stepped through anyway. "Kadaj! Yazoo! I will be right there!" He stepped through with a big grin on his face as the darkness of the portal and the corridor consumed him.

(OOC: Okay... I thought this would be the first thread, harhar. Well, hopefully the thread with the Remnants will appear soon.)

[Luxord]

The Nobody laughed. "And so will I..." he said as he followed after Loz, the portal shutting closed behind them.

(OOC: It has. It's called 'A Different Kind of Reunion' You can find it in Yomi here, readers.
