ANYWAY! This is the brainstorm for the Heckuvalong Raid sequence (DIch142-155. I think) which is really really long because I kind of just threw all my ideas and thoughts and plotting into this one document--
But I thought it'd be fun for you guys to read because I left myself a lot of funny notes and made silly comments and stuff!
Since it's so long, I'll stick it under a break, and you don't have to read it if you don't want to! Bonus points though, if you do, and can tell me what the secret message is!! :DD
So… rebellion distracting Xigbar so Riku can go after Axel
Not that it works
But
So
Let’s see
29’s not doing anything, so I guess he could use his shield
to block a good portion of the bullets. Riku starts to run, but Xigbar1 shoots
bullets through a dark corridor at him, stopping him before he gets far, and
Xigbar2 deals with 29.
And he’s BAMF about it
7 can be BAMF and clear out a good portion of the lesser
Nobodies in the area (or freeze them all solid)
~or should that wait until Thistle’s injured. I feel like 7’s more likely to
be BAMF when there’s healing that needs to be done
Amaryllis deals with Vexen, and Vexen heads off to help
Alpha
~but I guess this should happen
after it’s become pretty clear that getting the Xigbars away from Riku is
impossible
7 could try and help 29, but one
Xigbar distracts them while the other goes after Riku again
Vexen tries to help get Xigbar off of Riku, and he can go
all protective whatsit… oh dear
That’d be
the second time today! In five minutes!
Of course, that doesn’t work very well and… well, maybe
Vexen could stay around until Xemnas shows up, and then upon seeing Xemnas be
like “OHCRAPRUNNING!” And then go help Alpha out
The conversation between Vexen and
Alpha was alright, but it can easily happen slightly later (besides, it
happens… after Xemnas shows up… somehow… … whoops)
Vexen:
(out of breath) alsdkfj Xemnas is here!
Alpha:
I know. *points at computer screen*
Vexen:
how’d he get there so fast?
Alpha:
I-
Vexen:
Why are there assassins outside?
Alpha:
Vexen, calm down!
Oh yeah, Amaryllis goes to get Bloodroot of Snapdragon and
Snapdragon’s like “NOPE I’M GOOD! GO GET IVY! HE’S NOT DOING ANYTHING!”
And then 25 is fighting the other Marly… in the corner
And maybe 29 goes and helps him
out, since distracting Xigbar from Riku is obviously impossible
I suppose now we cue Xemnas
~well, now we’re in 7’s POV, and since the attempt to stop
Xigbar failed…
7’s taking
note of every injury in the room, being the medic that he is. He’s probably
also calculating how much longer this is going to take, likely, so that he
knows how much time he has to have everyone hold on before any healing can be
done.
Anyway, so maybe he mentions to Vexen that they’re going to
try something else, because Xigbar really can’t be distracted
Or
Something
At the very least, Amaryllis needs to be like “this didn’t
work. I’m going to help Snapdragon”
Before Snapdragon’s like “NO I’M FINE GO AFTER IVY!”
Is 7 worried about Snapdragon?
Probably not. Snapdragon’s most likely injured, however, so he’ll probably
notice that
And then…
Erm
Maybe 7 and Vexen attempt to keep Xigbar occupied again (and
29 helps?)
Or 7 just starts going after the lesser nobodies around
while Vexen either helps or continues to be protective over Riku
And then…
I think
I cue Xemnas
(unless I want to swap POVs around and maybe check on what
Amaryllis or Snapdragon is doing or stuff)
Yeah
Then Xemnas shows up, and Thistle gets hurt, and 7 goes all
BAMF and takes out a large portion of enemies to get to Thistle
Or, he does so… maybe after Xemnas
leaves. Because Thistle’s too close to Xemnas and it really wouldn’t be wise to
go over there at the time…
So
7’s thinking
“oh crap. Xemnas. Oh crap. Thistle’s injured. I can’t do
anything. Crap.”
And
Erg
I’ll keep thinking on it
“Xemnas is here… we’re not going to get out of this… there
is no way…”
Xemnas is here. Snapdragon is injured. Badly. Oh,
Snapdragon, don’t get up! You’ll only make things worse! I should go to him.
But. Xemnas. We’re doomed. There is no way… how are we getting out of this? And
I need to do something about Snapdragon! But what do I do? WE don’t have the
Repair Program anymore, do we? And even if we did… I’d have to get him to the
computer… I’d have to… Xemnas is in the room. I can’t do anything. Is he going
to leave? Or is he just going to stand there and terrify us all. What does that
achieve? I mean, I suppose keeping us terrified gives Axel more time to do
whatever it is he’s doing. Shouldn’t he have been done with that? And Xemnas is
in the room. What is he even here for? Is he involved in this? What is he
planning? He certainly can’t be planning to kill us… he’d have done so already…
right? Oh, lord, I don’t know! Won’t he just get a move on already? It’s
already hopeless, we realize this, stop flaunting that at us by standing there!
“We’re all going to be disabled and rewritten alskdfjslkfjslfj”
– I should give this to 25 or 41
ALSO
WE COULD SWAP TO THISTLE
AND THISTLE WOULD BE SCARED TO DEATH
Yes, Thistle’s an average fighter, not terrible, not
amazing, but we’ve already established he’s easily panicked. The sight of
Xemnas would about kill him.
(And it doesn’t help the fact that Xemnas decides he’s too
close for his liking (sounds like Cara) and decides to help him)
~so! We’ll swap to Amaryllis’s POV, probably and he’ll be
fighting Ivy and he’ll hear the dark corridor and Ivy will stop and Amaryllis
will be like “Oh my gosh that’s Xemnas…”
I think I was going to have Amaryllis be a bit
frantic/confused. Overwhelmed.
If we include Snapdragon, it’ll be short, and he and the
Lexaeus won’t stop fighting for long. He’ll probably be like “oh hi Xemnas” and
maybe try to attack, but then the Lexaeus swings at him, so the room isn’t
completely still, because they start fighting again (Bloodroot doesn’t dare
move, for some reason)
We should probably swap to Riku’s POV for a bit so we can
get Xigbar away from the hallway that leads to the Computer Room
We know
Riku’s reaction to Xemnas
Let’s see~
We’ll swap first to Amaryllis’ POV, and if he doesn’t
mention it’s Xemnas (since we put that off with 7) cool! If not, whatevs
Then we’ll swap to Riku’s (the sooner Xigbar’s not blocking
that path, the better)
-oh, and Vexen needs to run! We’ll
either put ourselves in his POV for that, or Riku can take note of it
Maybe Vexen will be like “RUNNING
TO COMPUTER ROOM!” and Riku notices “oh, it’s not blocked anymore…” but Xigbar
starts shooting/he doesn’t dare move in the silence of the room
Swap to 25/41, so they can have their brief thing
Swap to Thistle’s POV, and he’ll be attacked
Swap to Snapdragon, who decides now would be a good time to
attack Xemnas (the Lexaeus Replica stops him, remember)
UNLESS! Maybe, Snapdragon actually
does get to Xemnas and he’s injured instead of Thistle?
Swap to 7, who’s furious and wants to help Thistle but is
also scared of Xemnas and doesn’t want to go over there
Thankfully, Xemnas leaves the room shortly after, and
fighting resumes
Xigbar and
his clone start shooting, if they haven’t already
Snapdragon
and the Lexy are already going at it
Ivy and Amaryllis start fighting
again, I suppose… (idk if we should mention this specifically, but maybe to
touch on Amaryllis’s still franticness)
7 freezes all the lesser Nobodies
in his way and goes to Thistle
He’ll freeze the Lexaeus and Bloodroot to
the ground, too, and the Lexaeus will smash the ice to break free, while Bloodroot
struggles for a bit (then Amaryllis will go after the Lexaeus)
If
we work this right, we won’t have to leave his (7’s) POV…
Anyway, he’ll heal Thistle by
means of elixir or Curaga. I’m sure he’s capable of those things
“You’re alright. We’ll get you--”
*chokes on Repaired, because he highly doubts they have the Repair Program any
longer* “It’ll be fine.”
Then cut to Vexen, who’s running to Alpha and that’s already
up above somewhere… (here it is again for convenience)
Vexen: (out of breath) alsdkfj Xemnas
is here!
Alpha: I
know. *points at computer screen*
Vexen:
how’d he get there so fast?
Alpha: I-
Vexen: Why
are there assassins outside?
Alpha:
Vexen, calm down!
Then Alpha proceeds to explain why the Assassins are
outside, but maybe Vexen isn’t listening because he’s suddenly gone all
protective over Riku and “asldkfj I abandoned him” but he just did that with
Ienzo just a few days ago that must be a strain on his poor heart
But, once Vexen’s calmed down, I
suppose he asks what Xemnas and Axel are up to and Alpha explains it and we go
from there?
Except,
Vexen should be more scared. Of Xemnas.
Whose POV do I want to be in?
If I’m in
Vexen’s, I explain why he ran
If I’m in
Alpha’s, I can have the whole “defeat” spiel that he has
I
think this scene might work better from Alpha’s POV… tbh
Kay, so
Riku’s blocking bullets
And getting really tired of it
so cue him panicking about Namine, I suppose.
Brehberhbrehbreeeh (lol what sort of noise is that?)
what’s everyone else doing?
Hmm… Snapdragon and 7 are holding off Ivy and Bloodroot
Amaryllis is dealing with the Lexaeus Replica
And I think 25, was it, and that one Marluxia are probably
still fighting. Mwehhaheha (I’m kind of scared of that laugh)
Anyway
So
The way we have it, Riku freaks about Namine, then Xigbar
decides he’s bought enough time and leaves. Whoo.
Should I cover what everyone else is doing? Here’s what
they’re doing anyway, because I probs should know
7 and
Snapdragon are fighting Ivy and Bloodroot
7’s probably still panicking about
Snapdragon being injured, and Snapdragon might just be having some trouble
fighting due to said injury
Idk
if we want to go any further with that, but there are possibilities
Like, 7 making sure that
Snapdragon doesn’t even have a chance of getting injured further
Amaryllis
and the Lexaeus are fighting. Not much interesting going on there.
Idk if Snapdragon will get all
cocky and try and go after the Lexaeus again. I wouldn’t be surprised, honestly
As
previously mentioned, Riku’s blocking bullets and kind of getting sick of it
Thistle’s
probably still working on getting rid of any lesser Nobodies that are still
around
If 25 and the Marluxia aren’t still
fighting (say, the Marluxia’s dead, or left for some reason) then 25 is working
on lesser Nobodies, too
29’s also fighting lesser Nobodies,
unless he went to help 7 and Amaryllis and Snapdragon, which is easily feasible
Just how would Xigbar determine that now is a good time to
leave?
Well… he knows that Xemnas is in
the computer room and plans are currently being set in motion
Why doesn’t he just stick around
for the next… oh, it will be at least three hours before Roxas is done, so it’s
no wonder Xigbar doesn’t stick around
Or, at least, why he doesn’t stay
and battle. Because I’m pretty sure at least he sticks around and just… hides
in obscure places or something
He’s
BitF Peppy!
But why
does he decide to leave?
Is
knowing that Xemnas is now with the computer reason enough to leave?
Well, he was only a distraction so
that Axel could get what he needed and the plan could get started. So…
Is “eh,
he’s probably had enough time” reason enough to leave?
Knowing
Xigbar, probably most likely.
Do I want to drag
the battle out?
It’ll give
me more chapters, I suppose. But. This is our fifth chapter…
5
– raid ends
6
– Riku and Alpha and Vexen try and figure out what’s going on
Will
they have deduced that they’re rebuilding Roxas?
7 – damage is repaired and other
such things, and everyone else is informed of what’s happening
8
– well, fudge. I need five more chapters if this is going to work. Bleck.
9
– like, even if this is them plotting, we don’t want to drag things out too
much
10 – they’ll have already talked
about whether or not they want to even bother trying to stop them by now
11 – I suppose they could try to
break into the Computer room once, and be stopped
Snapdragon is injured, after all, so they don’t have a very impressive battle
force
12
– btw, Namine will have to show up and ask what’s going on. Probs sooner
13 – this would be Xemnas deciding
to leave and Roxas and Riku clash briefly.
But I doubt it’ll
take as long as we hope to get here.
So… I guess write this as the end of the raid and just see
where things go…
I mean, if we want to try, we can
attempt to make this end take two chapters. We just need to cover it from more
than Riku’s POV
Which,
cover it from, say, 7’s…
Detail
the Lexaeus, Bloodroot, and Ivy leaving
7 freaks out about Snapdragon some
more, and Amaryllis heads to see what Alpha’s doing. I suppose. It’s logical.
And
maybe Vexen and Alpha can be like “ooh, Xigbar left”
Idks
what purpose this serves, though
And
maybe something with 26
That,
however, is unlikely…
OH HEY! When we get to Namine asking what’s going on, why
not write it from her POV, since we can’t do that anywhere else?
Avoiding
her POV like the plague and all, so they don’t know what Riku’s surprise is.
So, Riku walks into the computer room, and he’s like “sup?
What the heck is going on here?” and Alpha points out that Axel and co are on
the 13th floor
And Riku’s all like “why the 13th
floor? What’s so important about it?” and go from there…
And after they’re done with the
sort of side tangent about 37, we can go to “What are they doing?” “Oh, Axel’s
here, Xemnas is here, and 26 is blah”
And
take the conversation from there… piece of cake!
But,
jeeze, are we really going to reveal its Roxas so soon?
We don’t have to… but between
Vexen, Riku, and Alpha, they can’t have much trouble deducing that, even
without hard proof
I mean, really, “they’re building
a Replica” “Who of?” “Not Riku” “Not Xemnas” “What’s the Org want, anyway?” “A
Keyblade” “Axel mentioned something…” “They’re rebuilding Roxas”
And maybe after they’ve deduced that it’s Roxas, 7 walks in
(it took him an awful long time to get here if he’s just here to ask about the
Repair Program, and since he already knows they don’t have the Repair Program,
him asking is moot, anyway)
Except maybe he asks just to be
hopeful, and after he’s told no, he’s like “I suspected as much…”
Anyway, if 7 walks in, he’ll
complain “you don’t just do that!!”
and then maybe Alpha tells 7 to go get Amaryllis so they can plot a plan of
action
7: it’ll be faster if you page
him. I have to make sure Snapdragon stays out of harm’s way.
Snapdragon: I don’t need rest! I’m
perfectly healed now, thank you! I can fight just fine!
7: We probably won’t be fighting
again
Riku: We could be
7: You aren’t helping!!
Oh, right, now that we’ve had the dramatic reveal of Roxas
being rebuilt, 7 shows up
Then Amaryllis comes to the
computer room and—oh shoot, he was already on his way there, wasn’t he? *sobs
and fixes that*
Anyway, he comes to the computer
room and I guess they start planning what they’re going to do
Or maybe we’ll just cut 7 walking in how does that sound
we’ll just put Amaryllis in here that’s wonderful
I mean didn’t I just say 7 coming
in was obsolete? I mean. Someone else can complain about bringing Roxas back
later seriously
Anyway, so, I guess I’m going to have Amaryllis come in now
(though how he managed to be slower than Riku… ehh we’re just not going to
worry about it too much. Maybe a few Assassins distracted him or something
(like the ones in the hall that Axel left there. They got bored and decided to
attack him and he got rid of them and now their attention span has run out so
no more return because it has to have been at least ten minutes, right?))
So they
start discussing a plan of action…
That
plan being going to the 13th Floor and pulling the plug on Axel’s
operation?
And they spend forever arguing
about it because Alpha believes it to be a better idea to just leave them alone
and the argument could probably take a chapter…
Oh do damage assessments need to
be done? I listed that earlier and it actually seems like that’s a routine
thing (or it should be anyway)
~next
chapter
Then Riku and Amaryllis decide to
see how hard it is to break through their defenses and fight Axel and Axel
holds his own fairly well and they decide it’s not worth it
Or Riku manages to get past Axel
for a second but Xemnas is there and knocks him back like twenty feet
Like
Ansem knocks Riku back in RR (because no damage is done)
That or Axel just goes all BAMF
because you ain’t getting past him and messing with Roxas no you ain’t
~next
chapter
Then
Namine comes and sees what’s up and we get all that
And Alpha reasserts his argument
that maybe it really is just better to sit back and do nothing just this one
time
~next
chapter
We
only need to fill two moreeeee rrggghh
This one could be more “what exactly
are we going to do?” and Alpha finally being like “okay fine I suppose we can
fight them and try and get the Program/external back I wouldn’t mind getting
that back”
And
here we put the decision to not give Roxas his memories?
~next
chapter
This would be them setting up and
positioning and this chapter feels really obsolete but I will put it in there
because I’m not going to settle for twelve chapters because it’s SO CLOSE
And then so here Xemnas will be
like “let’s go we need to get out of here forget his memories for now”
But should this just go at the
beginning of the next chapter I suppose I’ll see what I can do
It just depends how long the
battle is going to take with them leaving
~final
chapter
This
will be the Org going home and Roxas emerging and fighting Riku briefly
And Roxas is called away because
Axel’s like “hrm… it’s probably best if you don’t try and fight Riku’s since
he’s probably a bit stronger than you and I just got you back I don’t want you
to die already”
And don’t forget you should probably cover what Axel and
Xemnas and 26 are doing, especially towards the end there we need conversations
like:
“We don’t
need his memory”
And
Axel coming
in and being like “they’re totally not going to try and stop us”
It’d be funny if this happened and
then Riku and Amaryllis are outside and he has to fight them
Ooh do you think 26 would collect
battle data from Riku now or is that probably not a good idea?
He
collects data while Axel and Riku are fighting? Can he do that?
Well…
can’t they turn security footage into data?
I see flaws, regardless. So maybe
not unless we really think it’s worth it
And then…
that’s all the conversations I can think of. Hrm.
Xemnas isn’t nosy. He knows 26
will get his job done because if he didn’t get his job done then he’d be in
trouble and no one in their right mind would purposely get themselves in
trouble with Xemnas
So,
Xemnas mentioning Roxas’s memory is really all we need
He only mentions it because he
doesn’t want to stay there for too long and then he decides Roxas is better off
not remembering Xion anyway
Axel
can be nosy as much as he wants, though
Axel:
How’s everything going?
26:
fine, Axel. Why don’t I come get you
if something goes wrong?
Now that I’ve done overall sequence plotting…
I guess Amaryllis just walks in and he’s like “sup dudes?”
and one of them replies “welp, Xemnas is building a Replica and we’re pretty
sure it’s Roxas”
Amaryllis:
Right. How are we gonna stop them?
Alpha
thinks (Vexen says?): Do we honestly have
to stop them? Who says we have to?
Riku: Not sure. We just figured
out what they were doing three seconds ago.
Amaryllis: Are we going to just go
up there and charge the room they’re in and hope for the best?
Vexen: that’s a terrible plan, not
to mention a dangerous one! I thought
you were better than this, Amaryllis. What happened to being good at
strategizing?
Amaryllis: I was just throwing the
idea out there…
Riku: Besides it’s what we’ll end
up doing anyway, knowing us. I’m for that plan, by the way.
Vexen: Riku it’s dangerous!
Riku: I could take Axel!
Vexen: And then what do you do
about Xemnas?
Riku: We worry about him once
Axel’s out of the way.
Alpha: (quietly) or we could just
not worry about either of them…
Amaryllis: Pardon?
Alpha: Really, do we have to do something to stop them?
Riku: you sound like you’ve given
up
Alpha: It’s just, logically, why do
we need to stop them? (and then that whole rant)
~hrm should we have them discuss battle plans more before
Alpha goes into that or do we honestly want to try to just have them argue for
the entire chapter?
Or does he
argue and they go to discussing battle plans anyway?
Maybe they discuss why this is
happening now, anyway (mentioning Saix failing and Xemnas not being happy and
Axel wanting Roxas back and it falling into the Org’s agenda) then we go into
battle planning
Amaryllis:
Why is Axel doing this now, anyway?
Riku:
Because Saix is a miserable failure
Amaryllis:
Well, *chuckles* I suppose so but why not do this sooner?
Riku: *shrugs* he hadn’t quite
figured out how? Xemnas hadn’t approved?
~we can open Roxas plotting issues when it’s needed no sense
leaving it open atm
So we’ll cut to Axel and we’ll have this
Axel: how much longer, huh?
26: Axel! The door!
Axel: Oh, come on, like anyone’s actually
going to come in here? They’re all too scared!
26: You might want to rethink that
*he’s watching the computer screen, where he can see Riku coming up, and then
Axel hears them or sees it too or something idk*
Axel: oh shoot
~unless we want to put this off and instead have Axel be
like “I kicked their butt once they aren’t going to try coming back here again”
Or “They’re
all too scared!”
“That
didn’t stop them from coming up here earlier”
“That didn’t stop Riku from coming up here, earlier, you
mean. Don’t give me that look; we all know he’s a completely different story
when it comes to this. And, anyway, now that I’ve kicked his butt, I doubt
he’ll be trying again”
I wonder how long it takes for all this to happen
Nah they can’t have been rebuilding Roxas for very long.
Maybe… 5-15 minutes?
Would Axel be impatient enough to ask 26 how much longer it
will take, or…?
Then Axel goes back out and they fight
It’s like…
They both fight Axel for a bit and then Amaryllis pulls his
attention away from Riku/Riku sees an opportunity and tries to slip past
Then Axel’s
either all like “NOPE” and summons large wall of fire to stop him
Or we
wanted to have Xemnas whoop Riku’s butt because he deserves it
Riku
really deserves it
Idk either Axel’s going to do wall of fire and then Riku
still manages to slip through that and has his butt whooped
But it might make more sense if Xemnas is just magically
there before Riku can process it and, again, like Ansem in RR, Xemnas sends
Riku backwards like halfway across the room (if not farther considering they’re
in a hallway? Are they in a hallway? They might be…)
And THEN
Axel does the wall of fire to make sure Riku doesn’t try that again
I like that idea
We’ll do that
And then we have epic fight against Axel in which it’s just
a massive stalemate even though it’s two against one because Axel’s just going
to be BA like that.
And then I suppose eventually Amaryllis just like “okay, so,
maybe this isn’t worth it we’ve hardly made a dent in his defenses (lol I
wanted to say “health”; we haven’t made a dent in his health haha) maybe if
it’s best if we go back and regroup”
Or something
I’m sure at that point Riku’s calmed down a bit so he’s
reasonable enough that Amaryllis can talk him into walking away from the battle
Besides if
Axel is being super hard to beat I’m sure Riku’ll understand…?
And don’t we throw some self-doubt
in because Riku’s just been knocked back twenty feet by Xemnas and Xemnas was
hardly trying and there was nothing Riku
could do about it was like he was completely powerless/weak
Idk
if we want to go that route but we can *shrugs*
OH WAIT I LIE I COMPLETELY FORGOT
Whoo glad I pulled up that document
No, see, they battle for a while, and then Axel’s like “you
know you’ll basically kill Roxas if you stop us, right?”
I guess we don’t mention the fact
that stopping them requires killing Roxas, then Axel brings it up and Riku’s
like “oh yeah… I will be… poop!” and he stops fighting
I see it working kinda like this:
Axel: Hey 26! How’s it going? (he
pokes his head in while he’s still holding off Riku’s attacks)
-26 replies with something or other
idk what-
Axel: See? You realize that, if you
stop us now, you’ll kill him. You’ll kill Roxas.
Amaryllis: He has a point…
Riku: (annoyed, but agreeing, he
grunts his annoyance and banishes his blade)
I COMPLETELY FORGOTT!! AHAHA
So yeah I guess that’s how we end the battle hrm
NEED TO EDIT AFTER XEMNAS THROWS RIKU BECAUSE MORE SELFDOUBT
COULD BE ADDED THERE
Maybe touch
on more selfdoubt throughout the Axel battle?
I know this
was supposed to focus on an epic Axel battle
But I like
the idea of having Riku question his strength throughout the entire battle
Like we should write one of those
thought things we’ve been doing and having him be thinking throughout the battle
about his strength/possible lack thereof
Let’s see if chapter nine is more of the Axel battle. Even
takes up most of the Axel battle like, okay (just remember gotta drop a mention
to Demyx)
It’d be perfect if either 26 or
Axel knew that Demyx had been eavesdropping but idk how they’d bring it up
I’m thinking something like Riku’s
angsting and he’s like “I bet I’m not even strong enough to take Demyx *sobs*”
And then either Namine shows up in chapter nine
Or we put that off until chapter 10
Like, maybe Riku’s been just moping
for a while, while Vexen and Alpha and Amaryllis try and figure out what to
do/discuss plans of action
Then Namine shows up
And we can do our time split with
Namine. Because it’s got to have at least been 30 minutes before she goes and
sees what’s up
Meaning that you only have… say…
it’d be maybe an hour by this point?
15 minutes before ch8, then ch8/9?
takes another 5-10 minutes, and then plus 30 you have nearly an hour
So
you have to fill at least another hour…?
Namine
could stick around for a while (or does she need to be painting?)
It could be a bit before the
“rescuing Roxas” idea occurs to Riku, since he’s drowning in selfdoubt atm
So
Vexen and Alpha and Amaryllis are all arguing
And
Riku can’t bring himself to care
And
then
Out
of nowhere
It
occurs to him
Maybe we should rescue Roxas
Do you think the conversation about handing Roxas over to
the Org that Riku won’t have with Axel could go somewhere?
Like they could discuss it/that
concept
“they’re going to make him do their
bidding”
(he tells Axel)
“You know that, right? You’re
handing him right into their hands”
(and it’s painful)
(because even Riku sees it)
(but Axel ignores it)
(he just laughs)
“Don’t
make it sound like it’s such a terrible thing. It’s not. Xemnas just needs his
Keyblade wielder. He couldn’t care less about the details. Which means I can worry about those details”
“But it’s not like that”
(and Riku knows it)
“You don’t know what they might do”
“And you do?”
“Maybe. Maybe not. But we can help
you”
(he lowers his voice)
(here’s the smarter than Axel that
he was going for)
“You let me past. I can stop
Xemnas”
(But he can’t stop Xemnas)
“And… you could help. We get rid of
him. There is no Organization anymore. We can finish rebuilding Roxas. No
problems. Not for us. Not for you. Not for him.”
“Too
risky. I can’t trust you. Besides, you don’t have the passwords. I doubt 26
will give them up once Xemnas is gone. I know 37 won’t. There aren’t any others
who know the passwords. Believe me. I looked.”
“But we can-”
“No.
I’m not taking any chances. It’ll be fine.”
~but maybe I shouldn’t do this
because it might be best if Axel goes for a while not really thinking about the consequences of his
actions
Riku
pointing them out to him just laksdfj I don’t think it works
Yeah maybe they should discuss the “handing Roxas right over
into their hands” thing
Okay not sure what to do for the rest of this chapter. I
have about a thousand words to fill, and I think I’ll put Namine off until the
next chapter.
Let see…
The rest of
9 – not suuree
Riku
selfdoubt maybe?
Riku and Amaryllis report back to
Alpha and Vexen and maybe Vexen’s like “I told you so” and Riku’s just like
“leave me alone”
Or Alpha’s “I told you this was a
bad idea” and Vexen quiets him because he knows something’s wrong with Riku
If they were watching via
surveillance footage then he knows what’s
wrong with Riku
10 – Namine
11 – let’s
rescue Roxas! Hopefully that discussion/argument won’t take too long
12 –
setting up/end of Roxas discussion (so maybe it’s good it takes a while?)
13 – Xemnas
leaving with Roxas in tow
What still needs to be discussed?
Rescuing
Roxas and Riku’s incorrect beliefs
Did we
cover all of Alpha’s this is a bad idea?
And that’s
it
I mean,
besides Namine, but she was sort of a given
How long with the Namine conversation take? Should I just
put it now?
We had the thought of putting it
off because “no arguing with Namine’s prophetic
skills I should fight Roxas”
But…?
Idk if we put Namine now then after that we just have them
sort of sitting there and doing nothing because there’s nothing they can do
And maybe it should be a bit before
Namine shows up because she’ll likely try and talk Riku out of his selfdoubt
and that’s the only reason why they don’t do anything for a while
Because he’s too busy moping to
come up with an idea and Alpha and Vexen are pretty sure they want to do
nothing and Amaryllis has either sided with them or none of his plans are good
ones
Maybe Vexen tries to talk to him
but he’s just like “shut up Vexen I don’t want to hear it. Shut up Vexen I don’t want to hear it! Shut up Vexen I don’t want to hear it!!”
Rescuing Roxas:
Riku: we
could rescue Roxas.
Alpha:
What?
Riku:
Rescue him. *laughs* Get him away from the Organization. Kidnap him from them.
Amaryllis:
Why?
Riku: *not happy* Do you know what
they’ll do to him? Do you know what will happen to him if we let them have him?
I can hazard a guess or three
Vexen: It won’t be like what
Marluxia did to-
Riku: I know. They’ll treat him
kindly. Can’t risk him running away again or anything.
Maybe
Since that^ was the reference to Marluxia, and the
“gambling”/Luxord ref comes sooner…
Riku brings up rescuing Roxas and
they’re just like “too risky a gamble even Luxord wouldn’t try it no we aren’t
doing it” and they continue to argue
And they just keep coming up with
possible plans and none of them are working
So next chapter
Riku brings it up again
Let’s
rescue Roxas
And that
debate happens
That, or he’s like “let’s rescue Roxas” “nope too risky a
gamble” then Namine shows up preventing further discussion
And maybe
she’s there when Riku brings it up again
And she’s
fond of the idea too
Like
I can just hear her “why can’t we?”
“we’d have to keep him away from
Xemnas” “You honestly think Xemnas would let us have him?” “You honestly think Axel would let us have him?”
And also with Namine there’s that whole side discussion of
possible ways that the Org could kill Riku
And I bet
Riku’s like “why are we discussing this don’t we have better things to do”
And Alpha’s just “I think we’ve
established we can’t do anything until Roxas is rebuilt. From the looks of
things, based on where 26 is right now, it’ll be another hour or so. If not
longer.”
Again not sure what to do with the 9th chapter.
Or what’s left of it
I honestly feel like the thing with Namine could take an
entire chapter
And the rescuing Roxas discussion could probably take a
while, too
And then the 12th chapter would be them setting
up before the battle and the finishing crap with Roxas happening
13th chapter is Xemnas leaving
Also maybe
the 11th chapter should have “he can do without Xion’s memories”
Then the 12th chapter
Xemnas will be like “you know what we’ll worry about memories later we should
just leave now”
So the time cut has to happen somewhere around ch10, because
memories are like the last thing to
be done with a Replica
Maybe ch11 has something from 26’s
POV as he’s putting the finishing touches on Roxas
We could include the “Axel leave
me alone I’ll come get you if anything goes wrong” here? Or is it a bit late
for that? Hrmhmm
I suppose it could be “Axel, I
already told you, I’ll come get you if something’s wrong”
But wait Axel can’t know about
Roxas’s missing memories right yet
But still that’s not a bad idea
having part of ch11 from 26’s POV with the finishing stuff being done on Roxas
Possible plans of action
Doing
nothing (Alpha’s for this one)
Rescue
Roxas (Riku’s for this)
Alpha probably only agrees in the
end “yeah I suppose it’s not a bad idea. It probably won’t work, but we’d be
better off if he was on our side. And I’d like to get the external back”
Stop them
(not sure who’s for this)
Kill Xemnas
rebuild Roxas themselves (Amaryllis suggests this?)
Kill 26 and
basically kill Roxas, too
Convince
Axel this is a bad idea, you and Roxas should just defect to the Rebellion
Because
Axel you’re basically giving Xemnas his puppet what are you thinking?
Do nothing (Alpha probably has to
bring this up a lot because it is probably the best idea and no one listens to
him)
Kill Xemnas and worry about the
rest later
This is sort of the same as the
previous kill Xemnas (exactly the same) but to kill Xemnas (with Riku being
selfdoubty) they’re like “we’ll all team up against him. If Riku, Snapdragon,
our Lexaeus, Amaryllis, and maybe someone else go after him we’ll manage”
They really
don’t have a lot of options
It’s kill
Xemnas
Do nothing
Or attempt
to rescue Roxas (which probably involves killing someone)
There’s
also “just go after the external”
Sneak in
and snatch the external from them
Just
Sneak in
and snatch the external
But
that could seriously harm Roxas if it’s ripped from their computer
Still
though not a lot of options
I suppose most of the arguing
happens because Amaryllis keeps trying to suggest doing something and Alpha’s
like “you kidding me doing nothing is really our best option”
Still not sure what to do with the rest of chapter 9
Ch10 will be “rescue Roxas” “too risky a gamble” Namine
shows up
At the end (maybe after “it could
be a while”) someone’s like “what do we do?” and then someone else is like “I
guess we wait”
And ch11 starts off with a “1-2 hours later” thing before
debate about rescuing Roxas is resumed and then we cover 26 put the finishing
touches on Roxas before Xemnas says he could do without Xion’s memories
Ch12 is probably the Rebellion setting up/gathering people
(Snapdragon’s probably for the most part healed and 7 can’t stop him from
fighting even though he’s trying)/getting ready to fight them
Xemnas sees this and is like “right
we’ve been here long enough forget his memories we’ll go and deal with it back
at base”
‘cept
Xigbar probably says that because Xemnas wouldn’t you crazy?
Ch13 is the battle where Xemnas leaves with Roxas in tow
SERIOUSLY GO THROUGH THE EXTRA CHAPTER! There’s extra/scrapped
stuff to post to ASAS, and then there’s stuff that’d be better posted with the
outlines so DON’T FORGET ABOUT IT OHMYGOSH
Now chapter 10~~ wheee
So we’re going to be in Namine’s POV. Because it’s been a
while.
Maybe start
the chapter with her talking to Joseph
Namine:
How long do you think it’s been?
Joseph: It’s certainly been a
while. At least an hour? I think. I’m pretty sure it’s been around an hour
Namine: I’m going to go check on
Riku
Joseph: you’re not done with—
Namine: I know. I just want to
make sure he’s okay (he would’ve come back by now and I’d have to kick him out
again, but it’s still not like him not to tell me when the raid’s over. So I’m
worried)
Then so she
goes to see Riku
And she
hugs him of course
And asks
what’s going on
And we
should compile all this stuff. We’ll do that now. A new doc for Namine
Oh but wait! We need to swap to Riku’s POV so we can have
him suggest rescuing Roxas and gambling and then Namine shows up
Do we want
that to be from her POV? Can we pull that off?
Anyway
pretty sure that’s what we’d decided on because ch10 needs a Luxord reference
But Namine shows up and hugs Riku
And then she asks what’s going on
and they tell her about Roxas and Xemnas still being there
And we get into that hypothetical
discussion about the second Namine because it should happen
Then there’s this bit I copied from earlier:
That, or
he’s like “let’s rescue Roxas” “nope too risky a gamble” then Namine shows up
preventing further discussion
And maybe
she’s there when Riku brings it up again
And she’s
fond of the idea too
Like
I can just hear her “why can’t we?”
“we’d have to keep him away from
Xemnas” “You honestly think Xemnas would let us have him?” “You honestly think Axel would let us have him?”
And also with Namine there’s that
whole side discussion of possible ways that the Org could kill Riku
And I bet
Riku’s like “why are we discussing this don’t we have better things to do”
And Alpha’s just “I think we’ve
established we can’t do anything until Roxas is rebuilt. From the looks of
things, based on where 26 is right now, it’ll be another hour or so. If not
longer.”
“That’s quite a gamble. Not even Luxord would risk it” – is
the quote I have written down for the Luxord reference though by now I think
it’s become more like “too risky a gamble even Luxord wouldn’t try it no we
aren’t doing it”
which is kind of the same I just
wanted to have them both here
but basically Namine shows up, and then we get into “are
they rebuilding me?” which is either followed by the hypothetical discussion
about Namine2 or is followed by “nope it’s Roxas”
maybe “nope it’s Roxas” goes first
to keep her up to speed and then they somehow go back to the hypothetical
discussion
like Riku just drags them back to
it (then complains about discussing it lol) because he’s just stuck on it
or Alpha prompts further
discussion because he’s curious and bored
or Vexen prompts further
discussion because why not? Lol
okay so concerning rescuing Roxas
Riku brings it up beginning of
ch10, his idea’s ridiculous, but Amaryllis builds off the idea and suggests
convincing Axel to swap sides (for reasons such as you’re handing Xemnas a
puppet really Axel?)
“There are a million things that
could go wrong with that; it’s too risky a gamble. Not even Luxord would
attempt it. We’re better off doing nothing”
Then Namine shows up
They don’t talk anymore about it
Then she leaves
And then someone’s like “so, what
were we doing, again?”
Alpha:
We’re doing nothing
Riku: But what about my rescuing
Roxas idea? (You said we weren’t doing anything until they’re rebuilding Roxas
Alpha: No, I said we couldn’t do anything
Riku: That still implies you were
intending on doing something!)
Alpha: What makes you think that
idea would work? Do you honestly think Xemnas would let us have him? Do you
honestly think Axel would let us have
him?
Amaryllis: But if we convince
Axel-
Alpha: To what? Why would he swap to our side?
Riku: Because the organization’s
going to do terrible things to Roxas. Xemnas is going to turn him into his own
puppet.
Alpha: How do you know that?
Riku: Well, why wouldn’t he?
Alpha: He only wants a Keyblade
wielder and Kingdom Hearts
Riku: And if he can control Roxas’s
every whim, then Roxas won’t try and run away. Plus, he can be sent to do other
things. Like kill me, as you’ve
already suggested.
Alpha: He doesn’t need to be
Xemnas’s puppet to do those things
Amaryllis: You may be exaggerating
things, Riku
Riku: You think I am? Don’t you
know what I’ve been through?
Vexen: (sternly) Riku, Marluxia
did not put you through that.
Riku: He was intending to turn
Sora into his puppet
Alpha: Doesn’t mean Xemnas is
going to try it with Roxas
Vexen: Mm… I wouldn’t be surprised
if he considered it. Xehanort isn’t keen on not having control of everything.
And I doubt he’ll want to have to go through this process again, so if he can
keep his grip tight on Roxas—
Alpha: You mean Xemnas, right? Not
Xehanort.
Vexen: It makes no difference. I
don’t see why anyone would want to go
through the trouble of having to rebuild Roxas twice. If Xemnas can keep his
grip on Roxas, through any means, he will do it. I’m almost certain.
Riku: See? This is why we need to
get Roxas away from him.
Alpha: It’s still too risky.
THE SECRET MESSAGE IS HAVE A NICE DAY CONGRATS YOU FOUND IT
HERE TAKE A BUCKET OF CONFETTI I STILL HAVE WAY TOO MANY WHOOO
NOW POST THIS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW. OR SEND IT TO ME IN
SOME FASHION. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU’VE READ ALL MY EMBARRSING THINGS
THAT I PUT IN THIS.
EXTRA FANCY BONUS POINTS IF YOU CAN NAME SOMETHING YOU THINK
MIGHT’VE BEEN EMBARRASSING FOR ME AND THEN TELL ME ABOUT IT (and extra extra
bonus points if you bring it up at the most inconvenient times and embarrass
me. ‘cept I’ll probably be expecting it but give it a shot anyway idkz I put a
lot of weird things in this doc it’s really
long and I have to make myself laugh sometimes, besides most of this
brainstorming happens at insane times in the morning so yeah I’m a bit crazy
yay going to shut up now get back to your reading-through-the-outline whee)
~then for chapter 12?
Original
conversation:
Namine:
Imagine there being two of me, though…
Amaryllis:
Imagine the two of them fighting. Heh
Riku: What
would they be fighting over?
Namine:
You.
Riku: !?
Namine:
*giggles* I mean, she’d be trying to kill you, and I’d be trying to protect you
Alpha: you
know it’s likely she’d just kill you to get to Riku
Namine: Which is why Riku’d be
protecting me… and that would make it easier for her to kill him…
Riku: Sheesh, it’d be Larxene all
over again.
~except Namine’s not there in ch12 but if we give her lines
to someone else? Like, either Alpha or Amaryllis is still thinking about this,
lol, so they bring it up…
I can
imagine Alpha being like “you” as in “they’re fighting over you”
Yeah if we
just start with Amaryllis’s “imagine them fighting”
And
maybe Riku’s like just out loud “two Namines… yikes”
Then
“imagine them fighting” “over what?” “you”
Then Amaryllis points out that
Namine’d be fighting to protect Riku and Alpha mentions that puts Riku in a
better place to be killed, to which he says “it’s like Larxene all over again”
yes I like this idea
So starting chapter 11 something like this
someone’s like “so, what were we doing, again?”
Alpha: We’re doing nothing
Riku: But what about my rescuing
Roxas idea? (You said we weren’t doing anything until they’re rebuilding Roxas
Alpha: No, I said we couldn’t do anything
Riku: That still implies you were intending
on doing something!)
Alpha: What makes you think that
idea would work? Do you honestly think Xemnas would let us have him? Do you
honestly think Axel would let us have
him?
Amaryllis: But if we convince Axel-
Alpha: To what? Why would he swap to our side?
Riku: Because the organization’s
going to do terrible things to Roxas. Xemnas is going to turn him into his own
puppet.
Alpha: How do you know that?
Riku: Well, why wouldn’t he?
Alpha: He only wants a Keyblade
wielder and Kingdom Hearts
Riku: And if he can control Roxas’s
every whim, then Roxas won’t try and run away. Plus, he can be sent to do other
things. Like kill me, as you’ve
already suggested.
Alpha: He doesn’t need to be
Xemnas’s puppet to do those things
Amaryllis: You may be exaggerating
things, Riku
Riku: You think I am? Don’t you
know what I’ve been through?
Vexen: (sternly) Riku, Marluxia did
not put you through that.
Riku: He was intending to turn Sora
into his puppet
Alpha: Doesn’t mean Xemnas is going
to try it with Roxas
Vexen: Mm… I wouldn’t be surprised
if he considered it. Xehanort isn’t keen on not having control of everything.
And I doubt he’ll want to have to go through this process again, so if he can
keep his grip tight on Roxas—
Alpha: You mean Xemnas, right? Not
Xehanort.
Vexen: It makes no difference. I
don’t see why anyone would want to go
through the trouble of having to rebuild Roxas twice. If Xemnas can keep his
grip on Roxas, through any means, he will do it. I’m almost certain.
Riku: See? This is why we need to
get Roxas away from him.
Alpha: It’s still too risky.
Maybe ch11 has something from 26’s POV as he’s putting the
finishing touches on Roxas
We could include the “Axel leave me
alone I’ll come get you if anything goes wrong” here? Or is it a bit late for
that? Hrmhmm
I suppose it could be “Axel, I
already told you, a million times, I’ll come get you if something’s wrong”
But wait Axel
can’t know about Roxas’s missing memories right yet
But still that’s not a bad idea
having part of ch11 from 26’s POV with the finishing stuff being done on Roxas
Anyway but the scene with 26 will be him finishing up with
Roxas, and then Xemnas is like “you nearly finished” “Just need to finish is
memories and we’re set to go” and then we go from there yuupp
Ch12 I think is umm
It’s Alpha deciding “you know getting the external would be
nice. We can go get the external. We can fight them for that”
And then we need to probably fetch Snapdragon and 7 and
other people because they need to be able to put up a large enough fight to
keep people distracted so they can get the external
Alpha goes after 26 and someone
goes after Axel because they don’t know who has the external
Xigbar
has it? lol
Idkzz on their plan of action I should figure that out aha
because they can’t just be fighting them for no reason they need to be fighting
for a reason
It’s a good thing they have two hours to
figure this out
So I think we’ve settled on that they’re going after the
external?? Because Alpha thinks that it is at least going after that and trying
to restore the full program? Oorrrrr idkz crap
Maybe they don’t tell
Alpha Riku’s just like “heck with this I’m going to go rescue Roxas.
Somehow.”
Amaryllis
goes with him to keep him from getting hurt again
Snapdragon
is looking for a fight so of course he comes
Vexen goes
because he’s worried about Riku??
7 goes to keep Snapdragon from
getting even more hurt because oh my gosh
can’t he stay away from a fight
Anyway I had an idea for when Riku heads off to fight Xemnas
Vexen is like “be careful” to Riku to which Riku responds “quit the act” and
there’s that whole thing but I don’t
think we have time we should be focusing on them deciding to go after Xemnas
Also we sure that Riku’d want to go after Xemnas he’s all
selfdoubty I’m sure he’s a bit better now but sldkfj idkz ugh I hit a bump it’s a stupid bump I just don’t know okay
asdlfkj
I should open up a new doc and pound this out
And~~rewriting ch10
Okay so we should probably address Alpha’s wanting to stay
out of this because Xemnas early on. Before Riku suggests kidnapping—I mean
rescuing—Roxas. Yup.
Magik: i think the problem that i'm seeing with Alpha is
that he was so against Saix that he disabled his own brothers
Magik: and then now he's acting like he just wants everyone
to leave him alone
Magik: and we don't really know WHY
rarmaster: i'm not sure if it's Saix he wants to leave
alone, but Xemnas
rarmaster: I can address that
Magik: perhaps that idea needs... yeah
rarmaster: Riku can be like "I thought you hate
Saix"
Magik: he was fine with rebelling because he was pissed at
Saix
rarmaster: and he's like "yup. I'm just not going to
risk my chances with Xemnas"
rarmaster: or something
rarmaster: it worked better in my head
magik: but the minute Xemnas starts getting involved, Alpha
gets a little more apprehensive
Magik: maybe include alpha being a bit hard on himself that
he let Axel get the program
rarmaster: that too
Magik: like "we went through all of that effort to put
it on an external, and axel waltzes right in here and takes it"
Magik: which can help address his behavior
rarmaster: it can?
Magik: yes
rarmaster: (i didn't follow that train of thought)
Magik: theoretically
Magik: "they've got the program now, so why bother
rebelling?"
rarmaster: ahhh that
Magik: then Riku (or Vexen, or anyone else really) can argue
with him
rarmaster: ooh
rarmaster: then someone
rarmaster: can be like
Magik: redefine what
the rebellion is really about do I
want to do this?
rarmaster: "well, why don't we let them have Roxas, but
try and get the Program back?"
rarmaster: which gives me my reason for them to end up
fighting
rarmaster: yes
Magik: "fine, if they have roxas, they'll probably stop
attacking us, but we can't just let them keep the program, we'll all die if
that happens"
Magik: riku could argue "well, if they have roxas, what
if it still causes problems?"
Magik: then someone can argue that not letting them have
roxas is murder to roxas and that axel's going to be almost as much as a pain
as xemnas if you piss him off
Magik: (vexen may end up saying that)
Magik: so, rather than it be a discussion, it's a flat-otu
argument/battle plan
So all this happens. All this that magik suggested. Yup. Yup
yup.
Then I suppose we go with Riku’s “well them having Roxas
might still cause problems. For Roxas. We should rescue him.”
And we go
from there
And then I
guess Vexen is like “Axel is going to be pissed. Worse than Xemnas”
So
Amaryllis is like “we convince Axel it’s a good idea, then”
Then Namine shows up.
This doesn’t seem like a lot of fixing we need to do.
We do need to probably touch on
Riku’s selfdoubt some. He’s probably stopped wallowing in it by now, but Namine
might/should/will notice it
In this case we can swap to the
slightly-more-important telepathy, and also cover the paint thing yay
Do we want to start in Riku’s POV
and swap to Namine’s? I think the telepathy/paint thing would work better from
Namine’s POV
Okay
So
Transitioning
It needs to happen. Let’s see… what else do we need to
cover?
Reasons why
the Org probs won’t try and kidnap Namine anymore
And then…
the telepathy Riku selfdoubty thing
That’s sort
of it
Do we want to have Riku suggest the whole “sending Namine to
HB until this blows over” thing?
Then someone (Alpha?) is like “They
aren’t going to kidnap her. Or, they shouldn’t.
The whole purpose of kidnapping her was to rewrite her to get rid of you so
that, with you out of the way, they could easily snag the Program. They have
the Program. Why bother anymore?”
And then, idk they talk some about what they’re doing??
And Riku has selfdoubty thoughts
and we do the telepathy thing followed by the thing with the paint followed by
Namine leaving
Ch11 plotting again yay
So we’re starting with 26’s POV, finishing up on Roxas to
Xemnas asking about how close he is to being done to 26 saying that “hey I just
need to finish his memories” and from there we go
wheeeeeeezzi’mamagicfairyorsomethingxD
And it’s
all very simple isn’t it? yes
Then after 26 we’ll cut to everyone else and Amaryllis will
be like “quick recap because Q distracted me and I need to make sure I know
what we’re doing!” (‘cept he doesn’t mention Q lol he’s not stupid)
And then after recapping that
they’re going after the Program because Alpha thinks that’s a good idea
Riku brings up “what happened to my
rescuing Roxas idea?”
And then this conversation again
(third time it’s been pasted in this document yay)
someone’s
like “so, what were we doing, again?”
Alpha: We’re doing
nothing
Riku: But what about my rescuing
Roxas idea? (You said we weren’t doing anything until they’re rebuilding Roxas
Alpha: No, I said
we couldn’t do anything
Riku: That still
implies you were intending on doing something!)
Alpha: What makes you think that
idea would work? Do you honestly think Xemnas would let us have him? Do you honestly
think Axel would let us have him?
Amaryllis: But if
we convince Axel-
Alpha: To what? Why would he swap to our side?
Riku: Because the organization’s
going to do terrible things to Roxas. Xemnas is going to turn him into his own
puppet.
Alpha: How do you
know that?
Riku: Well, why
wouldn’t he?
Alpha: He only
wants a Keyblade wielder and Kingdom Hearts
Riku: And if he can control
Roxas’s every whim, then Roxas won’t try and run away. Plus, he can be sent to
do other things. Like kill me, as
you’ve already suggested.
Alpha: He doesn’t
need to be Xemnas’s puppet to do those things
Amaryllis: You may
be exaggerating things, Riku
Riku: You think I
am? Don’t you know what I’ve been through?
Vexen: (sternly)
Riku, Marluxia did not put you
through that.
Riku: He was
intending to turn Sora into his puppet
Alpha: Doesn’t
mean Xemnas is going to try it with Roxas
Vexen: Mm… I wouldn’t be surprised
if he considered it. Xehanort isn’t keen on not having control of everything.
And I doubt he’ll want to have to go through this process again, so if he can
keep his grip tight on Roxas—
Alpha: You mean
Xemnas, right? Not Xehanort.
Vexen: It makes no difference. I
don’t see why anyone would want to go
through the trouble of having to rebuild Roxas twice. If Xemnas can keep his
grip on Roxas, through any means, he will do it. I’m almost certain.
Riku: See? This is
why we need to get Roxas away from him.
Alpha: It’s still
too risky.
Except it’ll be more like Alpha
going “I already told you that’s a sucky idea do you think Xemnas and Axel are
gonna let us get away with that no they’re not you’re crazy!”
And then Riku being like “It’s a
perfectly good idea I’m looking out for Roxas the Org’s gonna treat him like
crap”
And then Vexen’s like “Roxas is
not you and he won’t be put through the things Marluxia put you through come on Riku get that straight”
Lol I love brainstorming XD
Okay so Amaryllis quick recap needs to cover this
What
exactly they are doing
Going
after the program/external and such
Gathering
reinforcements? Or at least discussing it
Riku being
like “my idea was good why aren’t we rescuing Roxas”
And
then they argue with him about that for a while??
Maybe the chapter will be like
Alpha:
Looks like 26 is nearly done with Roxas
Amaryllis: Alright, to make sure
I’m on the same page as the rest of you, what exactly are we doing?
~cue quick recap ish
~this isn’t perfectly next but it
should go somewhere
Riku: Why didn’t we just go after
the external sooner, again?
Alpha: Because they need the
external to finish Roxas. If we took it sooner, it would essentially kill him.
Riku: right. And how do we plan to
get it now?
Alpha: Find it—someone, likely Axel
or 26, will have it on their person—and take it. It’s not that complicated in
theory. It’s just a matter of executing it.
~and then as soon as the recap’s
done
Riku: Why aren’t we rescuing Roxas,
again?
~and we go from there
~and then we end the chapter
somehow and ch12 is them gathering reinforcements/setting up/forget the
memories for now we need to go
Oh
and it’s also Vexen giving Riku a pep talk don’t forget it’s very important
For timing purpose and stuff, maybe the scene with 26 should
be at the end. Because it’s not like he can get far with Roxas’s memories, so
if that happens in the end, and then he notices the Rebellion setting up at the
beginning of the next chapter, he can be like “crap we should probably get
going!!”
Does Axel be like “Uhm… any chance
we can leave? I mean, I can try and hold all ten of them off, but the chances
aren’t good that I’ll last terribly long. There’s ten of them.”
So
then 26 hurriedly gets Roxas up and moving, and Xemnas contacts Xigbar
Does Xigbar go help Axel out? Or
does he just pop out of nowhere in the middle of the battle and start kicking
butt?
Also it’s 10ish against 4 5 which consist of Axel,
Xigbar, and Xemnas who are threats and then 26. Oh and Roxas. I forgot him.
The rebellion has:
Riku
Alpha
Vexen (he
should be helping)
Amaryllis
I think
they fetch Snapdragon
7 comes too
The Lexaeus
Replica should be there
And then there’s only four
three more people they need. I think there’s another Marluxia? There’s Lotus.
And they can fetch a few Vexens. Oh and their Lexaeus. Lemme add him to the
list.
And the battle is Riku fights Roxas, Axel keeps everyone
away from Roxas, Xigbar is a pain, and they fight their way far enough away
from the computer room because its still corridor proofed and apparently they
can’t undo that
Maybe Alpha
jammed it with a password lock or something
You can corridor proof an area and
then put a password lock on the corridor proof. It makes perfect sense
Xemnas:
Can we go?
26: Alpha’s corridor proofed the
area. And I can’t un corridor proof it because it’s been password locked. We’ll
have to fight our way out of here.
Okay so it starts with Amaryllis paging Alpha saying that
they’re all set up and ready to go and that he and Riku and Vexen should head
over
So they head over
And then either before they head over (idk how that’d work
them being 11 floors away and most likely using dark corridors) or right before
they go to position themselves right outside the computer room (this makes more
sense)
Riku
pauses, let’s them go…
Then he sits down, grinding his
knuckles into his forehead, telling himself to snap out of his selfdoubt
because it’s getting pretty ridiculous
Then Vexen comes over and gives him
a pep talk
And Riku, though feeling a bit
better, as Vexen has a point, doesn’t want to tell Vexen that and storms off
with the “what’s this act you’re pulling!?” thingy
And
we can’t drag Joseph over to respond, so maybe Alpha lingers?
Or 7? For some reason I feel like
7 would. Maybe he and Snapdragon are off to the side, and 7 is firmly telling
Snapdragon to not try anything dangerous
And
he overhears Vexen and Riku
And
he sees Riku storm off
So
he goes over to Vexen and talks to him
Because
he kind of understands
And then, anyway, Axel will be out there and he’s like “oh
crap there’s ten of them” and y’know he ducks into the computer room real quick
and we have the:
“Uhm… any chance we can leave? I mean, I can
try and hold all ten of them off, but the chances aren’t good that I’ll last
terribly long. There’s ten of them.”
Xemnas tells Axel to hold them off for a few minutes, at
least, and then turns to 26 and he’s like “are you freaking done yet?” and
y’know 26 is like “haven’t even started on his memories…” so Xemnas just
says—hang on this is in two separate spots I should condense
Xemnas:
Will he function?
26: Yes…
Xemnas: Can
he fight?
26: He’ll
hold his own, sir, but I wouldn’t suggest relying on him
Xemnas: Of course. We will go. We
can finish with his memories when we return to the Castle, can we not?
26: Yes
Xemnas: (he doesn’t answer and just
jumps straight to contacting Xigbar??)
Meanwhile Axel is holding the Rebellion off on his own. They
probs haven’t really attacked yet, though, so it’s not too much of an issue.
(does Alpha demand the external again? But he’ll know that Axel doesn’t have
it,)
Then Xigbar
shows up and starts being a pain.
And we should be on ch13 by now…
Or
before Xigbar shows up??
So they’re battling
Then 26 and Xemnas and Roxas come out
And Riku and Roxas clash briefly before Axel tells Roxas
that it’s not a good idea and continues escorting him across the room
Since Axel obviously won’t have the
external, since it would still be with 26 in the computer room until they
leave, Alpha and maybe someone else focus on fighting 26
Except Xigbar has the external, I
think I’ve determined. Though idk how he got a hold of it…
Maybe
Xemnas has it. I feel like one of them does.
Alpha: *sighs* I know where he is. I’ll just form a dark
corridor for us.
-so he does that and they go through and they come out and
Amaryllis is going over the battle plan with everyone, while 7 and Snapdragon
continue arguing, and… yeah (Thistle’s probably here, too)-
People that are here:
Riku
Alpha
Amaryllis
Vexen
Snapdragon
7
The Lexaeus
Replica
Lotus
Thistle
I think that’s nine people so yeah it works poor Axel
~then once everyone’s clear on the battle plan they make
their way to the computer room (they’re walking because they can’t corridor
yeah)
And Riku falls back
And Vexen’s pep talk happens
We’ve got this
Really just so I have this somewhere besides bumping around
in my head:
There’s a blanket of corridor-proofed ness around the
Computer room. No matter which way you go from it, the rooms will be
corridor-proofed until you’re about three/four rooms away
There is only one door into the computer room. The
Rebellion’s right outside it
The Xemnas and Axel can’t avoid them
(Though I wouldn’t be surprised if Xemnas could, and we all
know that Xigbar can because he doesn’t even use dark corridors half the time
he just warps around because he can. Seriously is there a limit to that? Is there a freaking limit to how far Xigbar
can warp himself?!)
Okay so we start the next chapter with Axel talking to the
Rebellion like
Axel: Listen, why do you even have
to stop us? It’s a bit pointless to be trying now, anyway. But all we’re doing
is rebuilding Roxas? Is there any crime in that?
(does 7 have his spiel here??
Maaybee? About rebuilding Replicas not being good and all and just because you
miss someone doesn’t mean you have the right to bring them back from the dead? Do we have time??)
Alpha: We’re not here for Roxas.
We’re here for the Program.
Axel: Good luck getting that
Then idk how they’re even planning this. They hold everyone
off while someone tackles 26?
Then
they’re like “fudge he doesn’t have the external!”
Because
Xigbar has it. I think. Lol
And then…
idk
Riku and Roxas fight briefly, then Axel calls Roxas away and
maybe by that point they’ve sort of left the room and just leave.
I mean
Alpha or whoever was probably counting on 26 having the external
Except he
doesn’t
Xigbar
probs does
So
Since 26
has it
They don’t
know what to do
I mean come on how the heck are
they gonna get it if Xigbar has it? Or Xemnas has it? And Axel sure as heck does not have it because it’s impossible
so they don’t even try
Lol
maybe Roxas has it aha idk
So since
they don’t’ know what to do
And tackling
26 didn’t work
They’re
kind of stuck
And Xemnas
and Axel and Roxas get away
And there’s really nothing they can do about
it
Anyway I suppose they start the chapter off, after Axel’s
like “you’re crazy for trying this” he stalls them until 26 and Xemnas and
Roxas come out
And then
fighting begins
And then
Xigbar poofs in and starts shooting at Riku and Riku’s just like I am so sick of blocking bullets I don’t
even care if I’d probably fail at everything else I need to do something
besides block bullets
So maybe Roxas is nearby. And Roxas attacks Riku??
Yes Roxas
attacks Riku. And they clash and that little scene
And then
Axel’s like “bad idea Roxas don’t want you to get killed come on”
And by then
They’ve tackled 26 and he doesn’t have the external
And by now Axel and Roxas have pretty much already left the
room
And Xemnas isn’t far behind
26 leaves now—he doesn’t have to leave immediately because
he obvs doesn’t have the external so
And then Xiggy sticks around and causes trouble/covers for
them because he’s Xiggy and that’s what he does
But then he
leaves. Doesn’t even go through the door. Just warps away.
And then someone’s like “That failed. Horribly”
And Alpha I guess is like “It was a longshot anyway. Oh
well. Nothing we can do now. We’re doomed.”
AND THEN YOU SHOULD DO YOU KNOW A BATTLE BRAINSTORM TOMORROW
TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT EVERYONE’S DOING. EVERYONE.
‘cept maybe
Xemnas idk if I can be in his head.
I need:
Riku’s
Vexen’s
7
Alpha
Amaryllis
Snapdragon
probs
Axel
definitely
Should
have 26 too
Maybe
Xigbar but I don’t think we’ll need it
And
Roxas. We should do one for poor
Roxas.
~and then here’s some quick brainstorming for ch14 it’s not
much (and it shouldn’t need to be)
~and he goes and hides in his corner
And Namine comes and finds him a while later
“Hey. I was
wondering where you were.”
“How’d you
find me?”
“Well… no
one said that they’d seen you since you ran off. So I figured you came here.”
“mm.”
“You and
Vexen get in a fight?”
(he clearly
doesn’t want to talk about it so she changes the subject)
“How’d
things go, huh?”
~he tells her how things went, and he brings up Roxas and
his uneasiness, and how he actually sort of wanted to rescue Roxas because
reasons you already know and I don’t need to type here
Also if we
can mention Xion I will be so happy
~and then after seeing that Riku’s still kind of bummed
Namine’s like “I have a surprise for you!!” and drags him off
“You need
some cheering up. C’mon. I have something I want to show you.”
THEN IDK WHAT TO DO NOW
LIKE
I DON’T NEED FIFTEEN CHAPTERS
I JUST
Idk do we want to do a quick snippet regarding the fail-safe
that 26 installs because it’s sort of important and then the second half of the
chapter is Sora and he’s talking to Terra yes??
ALSO
Do we want to touch more on the fact that the Organization
has the Program? Have Alpha discuss it with someone? (Not Vexen he’s off crying
in his room ahashhh)
