As Leiko opened her eyes after using her powers to teleport to her 1st new world, she could see sand... lots of it. Off, into the distance, she could see some old structured buildings, which looked like some sort of town or city. Though it was in view, it still seemed like it was miles and miles to someone having to walk along in the unbearable heat. Before progressing any further, Leiko opened up the satchel she carried on her back, and took out her black cloth mask, and began to tie it around her head, covering the area around her eyes. After much walking, she reached the city. Taking a few steps, something small sped quickly in front of her feet. This made her stop in her tracks and look down. Running away was what looked like a monkey. With her curiosity getting the ebst of her, and not having much else to do anyway, Leiko followed the monkey as it continued to run off.

(Of course, that's great!)
Leiko kept walking in the direction she saw the creature that she thought was a monkey run. She then stopped and saw a boy with blonde hair limping towards what she thought was probably his skateboard. After making sure the mask was still tied to her face, she began to walk towards him. He looked pretty friendly, so she was sure there was nothing to worry about. Leiko also noticed a few bruises he had probably picked up, along with his leg, from falling off his board. "Um, hi, excuse me, but are you okay?" She walked ahead of him and picked up his skateboard and handed it to him. "Here you go" she said. "Looks like you took a pretty big wipe out there, eh?"

Leiko turned in the direction the creature had run off in. "Honestly, call me crazy, but... I think it was some kind of monkey." She turned back to look at the boy. With a doofus smile, she said,"But it looked like he was wearing clothes. I don't know, I think the heat is starting to get to me." She wiped the smile off her face for a second and said,"You wanna go chase him down for the heck of it? Oh, before I forget, I'm Leiko Kondo." she said. She then extended her and out for him to shake. Even though she didn't know this boy, she just had a feeling she could trust him. She smiled in relief.

"Yea, that'd probably be best." she said. After they had been walking for a bit, Leiko spotted the monkey sitting on a barrel in the corner of an alley. "There he is, lets get him!" she said pointing to the monkey. The monkey happened to spot them when she did this, and began to run off down the alleyway. "Crap, there he goes again!" she said as she took off towards him. The three of them finally reached a dead end, and they had the monkey cornered. Then all of a sudden, behind them appeared an older boy with black hair and street clothes. He walked over to the monkey and said,"Hey, Abu! There you are, why'd you take off?"

( I asked Colleen, since no one's playing him, it's okay ) "Oh, hi, is he your monkey?" Leiko said to the stranger that had just walked up to them. He replied,"Yea, that's Abu. He's got a knack for getting into mischief, so sorry if he's been bothering you." Abu then ran up to this stranger and crawled up his arm and onto his sholder. She said,"No, not really... well, he did kinda make Kurosaki here fall off his skateboard earlier. Um, I'm Leiko by the way." The stranger extended his hand out to her and said,"I'm Aladdin. And this is Kurosaki?" Leiko shook his hand and nodded. She looked down at Kurosaki, who was examining something he found on the ground. He had one eyebrow raised and looked very intrigued. Leiko dropped down on her knees and said to Kurosaki,"Hey, what'cha got there?"

(Hope you don't mind. I thought this thread needed a villain. XD) [On another note, for future reference, all posts must be atleast 8 sentences long unless you are suffering writer's block.]
Ah, nothing like the extreme heat of the desert... No, really, there was nothing that would have annoyed the silver-haired man more if he could feel annoyance. A stupid mission to a stupid desert... Just what Zexion needed. How had he even ended up on this mission he wasn't sure. Why not send Axel or Lexaeus? They were better used to harsh landscapes and extreme heat... Ah well. The Cloaked Schemer was here, and that was that.
Zexion woar his normal black Organization XIII coat and boots, and had his hood up. Black was definitely not the best color to wear out here... After what seemed like hours, the Cloaked Schemer came upon the Market Place. Perhaps the item in question was here? Possibly... With even the slightest opportunity of getting out of this desert, Zexion didn't hesitate to enter the town square. It appeared he wasn't alone, either.
The man darted around a corner, sticking close a shadowed wall in an attempt to observe. There were three young people and a monkey. The three people were apparently talking about the animal. One was a girl. While fairly pretty, she didn't exactly stand out to Zexion; nor did the two males for that matter. In fact, the older looking male appeared very poor. Then again, treasures were found where they were least likely... best to stick around, no?

(No problem, you're more than welcome. And sorry about that, guess I didn't count it all right ) Before she even gave Kurosaki a chance to answer the question she just asked, a sudden sensation came over Leiko, causing her to shoot back up to her feet. She made sure once again her mask was tied to hide the area around her eyes, and looked over to Aladdin. "I'm sorry, will you excuse me for a second?" she said to him. He nodded towards her, and Leiko took a few steps behind him and continued to walk for a couple steps. She then stopped, and noticed as a gentle breeze floated passed her as she stayed still. She reconized the sensation that had come over her before... the sudden blast of realization gone up her spine was all too familiar. Without another word, she drew out both of her Kris daggers and to what looked like nobody, she screamed,"You're from the Organization, aren't you? I know you're here somewhere, show yourself!" She then continued to stand there, weapons at the ready, waiting for a reply.

Oops, busted! Zexion thought, knowing that the feeling he'd be having would be surprise. The Nobody's eyes widened under his hood at the sound of the girl's voice. She was no fool. That much was apparent. Despite this fact, Zexion wasn't about to let himself be revealed just yet. Rather, the Cloaked Schemer vanished through a dark portal and reappeared a distance away, atop one of the many old towers. "Clever..." he muttered with a laugh, though he couldn't feel humor.
What to do now though? If he was too close, the girl would sense him... and if he was too far, he might fail his mission. What to do, what to do... Oh, of course. The Dusks. With a snap of his fingers, a group of the Nobodies appeared before the girl, jaws wide and limbs jiggling about. They didn't need orders to know what to do. The leader of them rose into the air and tried to circle the girl, readying a kick while another rolled into a ball and attempted to ram her.

"Oh, damnit, he thinks he can get away that easily, that's what he thinks!" Leiko thought to herself quickly as a group of nobodies began to circle her. Without another word she spun around with her arms extended, a dagger in each hand, taking out about two of the nobodies already. She then thought to herself,"Okay, there's quite a few of them, I'm gonna have to call for the elements." To keep from being attacked herself, she called upon her earth element and created a dome-like shield around her, which would move with her and still allow her to attack the enemies. "Okay, one good shot and I can clear the rest!" She thought again. She charged her fire element and stabbed her daggers into the ground, causing a large burst of inferno flames around her, taking out the rest of the nobodies. Quickly, she deactivated her shield. "He thinks he can run off on me? He's still in this world, I know it!" She closed her eyes, and using the left-over fire energy she had left, she blasted fire from her feet, launching her into the air. She landed on top of an older rooftop. She then started running at full speed, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. She kept running and leaping until she came across the roof of an old tower.

Zexion was impressed with the girl's prowess in battle to say the least. That wasn't about to get any respect from the Cloaked Schemer though. While the girl had been fighting the Dusks, Number VI had been observing; watching her movements and learning when best to counteract with his magic. With a laugh, Zexion vanished, reappearing right before the girl. The Cloaked Schemer looked into the girl's eyes, seeing great fury. "You're not who I'm looking for girl. Go back to your little playground," Zexion said, unamused.
"No... that look in your eyes... you're not going to just back down," the Nobody acknowledged, taking down his hood. Zexion's silver hair fell over his right eye, but couldn't hide his cynical, serious expression. Holding out his right arm, an odd light formed in Zexion's hand. Within moments, a large book appeared and the Cloak Schemer flipped it open. It was a ruse. If the girl were foolish enough to attack him hand-to-hand, he'd capture her within its pages and use her as a hostage to bait the others to do as he pleased.

The member of the Organization appeared right in front of her, which startled her a bit, being caught off guard. She quickly wielded her daggers yet again, waiting for an attack. But he looked into her eyes and said,"You're not who I'm looking for, girl. Go back to your little playground." Leiko was outraged by him saying this and thought to herself,"Whaa- How dare he?! There's no way I'm gonna back down that easily!" He then continued by saiing,"No... that look in your eyes... you're not just going to back down" He took down his hood, and she could see the man's short, silver gleaming hair as it blew with the breeze, while still covering his right eye. "An Organization member if I've ever seen one" she thought, though obviousley the pulsing she recieved and cloak he was wearing gave it away first hand. The man extended his right arm out a bit, and a strange light appeared from his palm. Within seconds, a book appeared. He then opened it and flipped through the pages. Leiko knew this wasn't some kind of farce. Her best guess was he expected her to attack him head on... she wasn't born yesterday. Having been taught all her fighting skills by the Organization, she herself being a Nobody, she wasn't going to be stupid enough to attack him just yet. She looked the man in the eyes and said,"Well if you're not here on behalf of the Organization to reconcile..." Before she continued, she removed the black mask she had been wearing, it's sole purpose now defeated as the 'XI' Tattoo next to her right eye and the 'II' tattoo next to her left eye had been revealed. The sole purpose of the mask was to hide these marks she had been cursed with when she ran off from the Organization those couple years ago. Leiko then coninued to speak,"...then why are you here? I demand an answer."

Zexion remained calm, a cold look upon his face. The Cloaked Schemer showed no signs of resolve. With a grunt, the pages of the XIII Book began fluttering upon their own though. Stopping the pages with a finger, Zexion looked down at the parchment. Before Number VI could do anything though, a boy appeared alongside the girl, bearing, to what would have been Zexion's humor, a wooden sword. Though unable to feel, The Cloaked Schemer let out a laugh, knowing it to be his appropriate response.
"You're a fool to use a child's toy against the Organization, boy," Zexion said coldly, completely ignoring the girl. With a shrug, the man looked back down to the page of his book, then to Leiko. Quickly muttering something quietly, a strange green glow emanated from the XIII Book, and a giant book appeared swiftly in an attempt to entrap the girl. If the ploy worked, Leiko would be trapped within, thus confining her to play in a twisted game for her freedom.

Just then, Kurosaki appeared behind her,wielding a wooden sword. She thought it was kinda funny, but knew not to say anything. Just then,the book the man had been holding began to glow, and it grew to a larger size, obviously much larger than the one the man held before,and it came towards her. She knew as much it would try to swallow her,for the man's later amusement,using her in some kind of twisted game. Quickly, calling from her wind element, she grabbed Kurosaki by the waist and jumped up in the sky. Using her free hand, she wielded one dagger,charged it with her metal element, making the blade long enough to not only reach, but stab right through the book. The book then fell over, and turned into a pile of white ash on the spot, which then slowly disintegrated. Finally landing on the ground, she let go of Kurosaki and turned back around to the silver-haired man. She said,"I believe I said before, I demand a reason why you're here."

Zexion shrugged as the spell was counteracted. It had meant nothing to him. The Cloaked Schemer didn't even have a reason to bother with them. As such, the man let out a laugh, sure that was the appropriate response. Regardless, Zexion retained a calm facade, observing carefully. "I'm not at liberty to disclose any information to you, I'm afraid. However... It is in your best interest not to interfere," the man declared, slamming the book shut.
Within moments, the Cloaked Schemer dismissed the book, and stepped backwards, creating a dark portal. Number VI had no reason to toy with simple humans for now. As Zexion vanished, he left the two to think about what he'd said. As the portal reopened, Zexion appeared within a shop, standing before a peddlar. "Ah, his presence is strong here..." the Cloaked Schemer muttered. Noticing the small man, Zexion strode towards him and grabbed him by the shirt collar.
"Where is the lamp!?" Number VI demanded with false ferocity.
"La-lamp!? What are y-you talking about!?" the peddlar asked, attempting to throw the man off.
"Don't play games with me. I assure you, I will win. Noq tell me where the lamp is before I make you wish you didn't exist!" Zexion demaded, shaking the man.
"In the back! In my safe! Take it! Take it and be gone with you!" the small man demanded with fear.
"That's more like it..." Zexion muttered as he threw the man aside and strode to the back. Sure enough, there was a small safe. Smashing it as if it were nothing, Zexion pulled from it a small, black lamp. "Now to figure out how to destroy this..." the Cloaked Schemer muttered, opening another dark portal and preparing to step through.

"Damnit, so THAT'S what he's after!" Leiko saaid a bit loudly to herself. Back when he the man... who had refered to himself as Zexion, appeared before her, she had been using her telepathy to patch into his brain, now being able to hear his conversations and thoughts. She looked over at Kurosaki and said,"Look, I need to go after him, he's going for the dark lamp. If you want to help me, follow behind, if not, stay clear, you uderstand?" She then quickly leaped off of the rooftop, landing on her feet. She began to run to where she was sensing him. She continued to run, and saw a small bazzat peddler. She guessed this was who he was talking to before, and ran through the doorway behind the stall. She could then see Zexion holding the black lamp, and just as he was creating a dark protal and preparing to step through, Leiko wielded her Kris daggers and screamed,"Don't even think about it, VI! That lamp stays here in this world as long as I have anything to say about it!"

"Good job Abu, take that to Kurosaki!" Leiko called out to the monkey with a big smile. She called out to Kurosaki, who was still outside. "Kurosaki, take Abu and the lamp get as far as you possibly can and hide it in the best place you can find!" She closed her eyes, called upon her fire element, and with a wave of her dagger, she turned Kurosaki's skateboard into a rocket board. She knew the transformation would last for a good hour and the board would go up to 1000 miles per hour. As for the speed Zexion could travel while under his magic's influence, that was a mystery to her. She turned back towards Zexion and began to channel her energy to use for battle. She then said,"If you want to get to that lamp, you're gonna have to go through me first!"

Everything happened so fast. One moment, the girl showed up, the next, that boy with the wooden sword. Before Zexion realized it, he no longer had the lamp. "Big mistake!" Zexion declared, clenching his fist. Then, cursing under his breath, the Cloaked Schemer continued through his dark portal. He didn't leave the two youths alone, however. Within moments, another batch of Dusks appeared, along with Samurais.
The Dusks stood back as the Samurais went into a dancelike motion. One faced Leiko directly, challenging her to a duel. If she won, the creature would be defeated in one swift blow, but if she failed, the creature would attack relentlessly. Another did the same with Kurosaki, seemingly challenging the boy to a dance to the death.
On the other side of the dark portal, Zexion appeared at the Cave of Wonders. The Cloaked Schemer would have been very angry with the two young people and that monkey if he could feel emotion. "Stupid kids... and that monkey... Bah. Just a minor setback... I need to come up with a new approach, that's all..." the man thought aloud with a smirk.

The dusks and samurai appeared before Leiko, challenging her. Leiko gripped her weapons tightly, first calling upon the metal element, transforming her daggers into longer swords. Using most of her arms' strength, she swung both blades at the first samurai before her, killing it with one blow. She then thought to herself,"Might as well use a bit of power this time around". She swayed her arms and daggers around in a distinct pattern, and after spinning around once, she called out,"Four-corner element dance!" And 6 elements blasted, all in diffrent directions. The fire element set a group of dusks and samurais ablaze, killing them instantly, her water element blasted another group head on, defeating them. Her wind element blasted a group back and slamming them into the wall, but they were still alive and well. Her metal element made many deep puncture wounds in a group, defeating them, her earth element formed large, sharp rocks out of the ground, which didn't do much to that group. And finally, her mystic element blasted a huge form of energy at another group, also defeating them. Leiko then looked around and thought,"Well four out of six isn't that bad, I guess." And the two remaining groups moved closer together, all coming at her at once. She charged head on, swinging her weapons at them, defeating some with one swing, others took a little more effort. But in no time after that, nothing was left. She then thought to herself,"He's still in this world. I might not know where he is now, but I'm sure if I look for Kurosaki and the lamp, I'll run into him eventually."

(After this post, I'm going to have Zexy back off for a bit. There's really not much for him to do at the moment anyway.)
Though the youths had defeated the Nobodies, they hadn't disrupted Zexion's plans in the least. Then again, they couldn't do much after having stolen the lamp from him. The Cloaked Schemer would have still been bitter about that... The Superior wouldn't be pleased at all to hear that two kids had ruined his plans. "What to do, what to do... AH! Yes... There's that..." the cloaked schemer muttered. Within moments, the man began chuckling. Oh, the possible plans he could concoct... Zexion was sure of one thing: he had to seperate the two for his next plan to work.

Leiko ran quickly, now noticing a sand storm up ahead. She called upon her wind element, and with a wave of her hands, the san then blew completly out of the way. Before she forgot again, she took out her black cloth mask again. Before she could adjust it so it didn't cover her eyes, she called out,"Kurosaki? Hello, where are you?". She then adjusted her mask, and walked ahead a bit, with still no sight of him. She could sense Zexion was still in this world, but as to where he was exactly, she had no idea. She knew she had to locate both Kurosaki and Zexion fast before he claimed exactly what he was looking for. Suddenly, Kruosaki came into her sights, looking around in a daze. She ran over to him, calling out,"Kurosaki, over here! Please tell me you still have the lamp with you!"
