3 > accidental video > fight (backdated to 7/25)

[croceamors]

[This is very clearly an accidental video. For one thing, the angle is crooked, and there's sand messily scattered across the lens... And not a lot of people probably want to broadcast their attempts at murder to the public.]

[Because that is certainly what's happening here.]

[The scene is obvious even like this- up on the island with the moon just having recently risen, its light shining down onto two individuals wearing the same kind of black coat. Two enormous claymores are stuck into the ground on either side of them. Saix has managed to get Axel down onto the ground, fingers at his throat and snarling like something inhuman. A brilliant golden glow has taken over his eyes, hiding pupils and white.]

[Axel isn't taking this lying down- well, he's lying down, but he's certainly fighting back, thrashing and struggling, flames sparking up and heating all around him as embers fly.]

[Neither of them seem to be aware the SFC is filming any of this. They seem much more focused on killing one another.]

Comments

[croceamors]

[The fire smashed into him like a bull, stinging and burning worse than anything. It makes Saix wheeze, vision lost to nothing but brilliant painful yellow and orange for a moment. He still doesn't move, however, all too intent on hurting Axel, snuffing out that flame which could be called his existence.]

[Still, the Firaga makes him well aware there's someone else on the scene, and he's already snatching up Lunatic again and twisting his body. The Keyblade connects hard, successfully pushing him off of Axel, and he gives a slight leap back. He's breathless and still enraged, smoke curling off of his coat. Everything hurts, but it's a sensation far more distant than the moon right now. He just makes another rush forward, swinging his claymore down at Sora.]

[Either he gets the keyblade wielder, or he's lucky enough that Axel might still be lying down, or he gets nothing. As long as he spills someone's blood, Saix doesn't much care.]

[flared]

[It's a good thing Sora picked Firaga because even the slightest touch from the flames heals him up and makes it easier for him to recover from being nearly strangled to death. Once Saix has moved away, distracted by the boy, Axel leaps to attention and grabs for his chakrams again.]

Sora!

[he calls out just as he turns to see Saix swinging down at him. Immediately he rushes forward, body low to the ground so he can try to slip between them and block both of their attacks.]

[runbysmiles]

[ Sora grit his teeth as he ran forward. He was ready to meet the attack head on! Only he found Axel rushing in between the two of them. ]

Axel!

[ Sora jumped back and pulled his swing before it ended up hitting Axel instead of Saix. What was he doing? If he was trying to protect Sora he didn't need it. ]

Axel get out of here! I'll take care of him!

[croceamors]

[No blood. What a shame.]

[Saix gives a particularly vicious snarl as Axel comes between him and Sora, and presses down all the harder with all the strength he can muster. With the moon fueling his every actions... It's quite a bit.]

[He won't back down.]

[flared]

[Axel doesn't respond to that immediately and just keeps pushing up, his feet digging into the sand while Saix presses down on him with all his might.

He can hold him off... just for a little while more-]

Sora, just run!

[... He doesn't want him getting hurt.

Either of them.]

[runbysmiles]

Run? You're the one who was just getting choked!

[ Like heck he was running away! Not while Axel needed him. He moved to the side to get around Axel and to attack Saix again with another Firaga spell. He didn't want to risk using anything else in case it accidentally hit Axel in his attempts to keep Sora from helping. ]

[croceamors]

[Still no proper verbal response, just low growls and that violent glare on his face.]

[He wants this man before him dead more than anything. Maybe even more than he wants his heart.]

[As soon as he hears the crackling warning of another Firaga spell, Saix gives a sharp twist of his claymore so that the spikes twist into the gaps of Axel's chakram before he pulls sharply. The plan is to drag Axel along for an unpleasant ride, and toss him into both the spell's path and into Sora.]

[Hopefully it works. If nothing else, he'll just dodge.]

[flared]

[Axel looks up in time to see the spikes of Saix's claymore running through his chakram and when he's swung he has to think fast. The fire won't hurt him, but he could easily harm Sora this way, so just as he reaches the edge of the spell's flames he harnesses it's power and quickly disappears into a Corridor of Darkness.

But he's not going to leave Sora alone for long.

Shortly after the Corridor returns just above Saix and through it Axel comes barreling through, flames engulfing him as he tries to pin the other down.]

I said run!

[runbysmiles]

Forget it!

[ Sora had to move to the side before he was accidentally run down by Axel. This was getting worse by the moment, even if Axel had gotten his second wind! The worse part about this Sora had no idea if they could both get away without Saix following them. It wasn't as if Saix didn't know where they both lived.

[ He rushes in to help beat Saix down. At least if they knock him out he wont be able to follow! Maybe by then he'll have cooled off! ]

[croceamors]

[Despite the intensity of the flames, Saix doesn't buckle from Axel's attack. It's Sora's contribution that helps knock him down, and Saix slams one knee into the ground as he crumples. The glow in his eyes seems to dim, just a little, but he doesn't give up, swinging his claymore around him in an attempt to get him some space.]

[flared]

[Axel jumps back to avoid being hit by Saix's barrage of attacks then decides shortly after to leap further back again, hoping to distract Saix away from Sora at least.]

Kid, this isn't your fight!

[runbysmiles]

You think I care?

[ Sora shouted back. He wasn't going to let up. ]

Unless you leave, I'm not leaving!

[ He didn't trust this situation one bit. If he left and Saix got the better of Axel again, Axel could be in big trouble! ]

[croceamors]

[It seems to work. Axel was Saix's intended target, after all, and for all he wishes the Keyblade wielder a painful death... Axel's actions are far more personal.]

[He starts to circle around Axel like a shark, eyes still glowing gold, before he moves the circle in tighter and starts to swing violently at him.]

[flared]

[Good, at least there's some distance between Saix and Sora now. Axel continues to swing and dodge for as long as he can even when he hears Sora's protests over the sound of clashing metal. Dammit, this isn't the first time that Axel's had to try and get Sora to leave a fight and just like that time the kid's not moving.

Still, Axel persists.]

Sora, I said go!

[runbysmiles]

[ This was getting ridiculous! Sora scowled to himself as the only other solution came to mind. ]

I told you, I'm not leaving you!

[ Sora raised the keyblade straight up into the air. He focused solely on Saix, he and Axel still had to try and get away somehow, and maybe with both of them out of view it would give Saix a chance to calm down. He called for the time magic casting the highest level of power he could -Stopga- to freeze Saix in his place. If Sora was lucky this would give them the chance they'd need, even if it was only for a few seconds. If not, well, Sora wasn't going to leave Axel behind. ]

[croceamors]

[Saix is still focused relentlessly on Axel, each block or miss seeming to make him all the more determined to land a hit on Axel. Such focus means he misses Sora preparing for a more subtle spell, and it doesn't even occur to him to try and evade. It hits him dead center- freezing him as he has his claymore pulled back for a swing, eyes still shining and teeth bared.]

[But he doesn't move.]

[flared]

[Axel skids to a stop when Saix freezes and for the briefest moment there's a hint of panic in his eyes. But thankfully Sora might be too far away to notice that.

Immediately after he scoffs then runs back in Sora's direction, hand held out to open up a portal beside him.]

Get in!

[If Sora's really not going to leave without him, then Axel has no choice but to follow. Now, while they have the time.]

[runbysmiles]

[ Good, at least Axel was moving to get away, or at least that had better been what he was doing! He trusted Axel and headed into the portal looking back to make sure Axel was following to where ever this one lead. ]
