Marluxia: Difference between revisions

Marluxia had been plotting an Organization takeover with [[Larxene]], planning to use a young girl named [[Namine]], who has the power to alter memories, to do so once Sora came to [[Castle Oblivion]]. Learning that Sora was near by, Marluxia went to greet him and lured him down the path that lead to the castle, leaving a cryptic message that there is something he needs, but must lose something dear to him in order to obtain it.

 

When Sora and his friends arrive, Marluxia explains the memories of their magic and abilities had been taken away from them the momenet they entered. Marluxia then explains that withn Castle Oblivion, they would meet people from thier past that they meet, making them think they could find Riku and the King. He then phases though Sora and creates a [[World Card]] of [[Traverse Town]], giving it to him for his use. Marluxia then appears within the recreation explain that it's not the real Traverse Town and how to fight within Castle Oblivion.

 

He later meets up with Sora again once he exits [[Traverse Town]], asking how he liked meeting the people from his memories that he missed. When Sora asks what he wants, Marlxuia crypticly asks "What do you have to give?" before Axel appears. Surprised to his appearance, Marluxia asks him what he is doing there; Axel had gotten bored watching him hog the hero. Leaving Axel to test Sora, Marluxia gives him the World Cards to [[Wonderland]], [[Olympus Coliseum]], [[Agrabah]], [[Halloween Town]] and [[Monstro]] (with the other four, presumebly).

Following Vexen losing control of his [[Riku Replica|replica of Riku]] meant to count Sora, Marluxia appears to quell the arguement between him and the other two. He  pronounces Vexen's project a failure, telling him not to disapoint them again. Although Vexen arrogantly protests by saying Number 11 of the Organization cannot be bossing around Number 4, Marluxia silences him by holding his sythe out. Marlxuia then explains that [[Namine]] and [[Castle Oblivion]] were entrusted to him by "their leader", so going against him will be seen as treason. He then goes on to say that Vexen cannot win against Sora, prompting Vexen to boast that he cannot see he is strong enough to do so. Marluxia then tells they wish to see it, telling him none of them wish to be suspicious of a comrade. Although confused by the order, Vexen agrees, and he leads Sora into [[Twilight Town]]. He fights Sora a second time, but he is again defeated. Before he can reveal Marluxia's plans to use Sora, however, Axel destroys him on Marluxia's orders, making Vexen the first Organization member to be eliminated.

Axel's assassination of Vexen allows him to gain Marluxia and Larxene's full trust. As Sora nears the top floors of the castle, Axel is left alone with Naminé to keep watch over her. Instead of keeping an eye on her, however, Axel allows her to escape, freeing her from Marluxia's control and ending her continued restructuring of Sora's memories, effectively ruining the plot to have Sora fight the Organization. This prompts Larxene to attack Sora shortly after he defeats the Riku Replica for the final time, but she is eliminated in the struggle, leaving only Marluxia to carry out their plot. He later recaptures Namine while she tends to the replica.

Sora pursues Marluxia into his inner chambers, where he expresses his joy to the supposed destruction of Axel. Marluxia goes on to talk about how he wants the Keyblade for himself, telling Namine to completely erase Sora's memory, which would destroy his heart. With everyone concerned, Marluxia explains he wanted Sora unharmed, but he can rebuild the Keyblade wielder more to his liking with time. However, Naminé, remembering Sora's kindness towards her, flat-out refuses the order, even when faced with elimination. Marluxia is perplexed when Sora orders Naminé to do so for her own safety, claiming that with Donald and Goofy's memories, he can regain his own again. Marluxia simply calls Sora a fool because if his memory is erased, he will end up being unable to feel or care "just like Vexen's pathetic imitation of your Riku". However, Marluxia is met with even more suprise when it's voice is heard and the replica appears, knocking him away from Namine. Confused and irritated that Sora and the replica would accept their memories of Naminé with the full knowledge that they are lies, Marluxia attacks them.

Sora destroys Marluxia, but he appears once more, explaining that all they destroyed was merely an illusion of him <!--For an illusion, that guy packed a punch-->. Riku replica lashes out and strikes him, only to find this Marluxia was another imitaion. Namine then reveals that Marluxia had actualy been hiding in the room behind them, and his power is so strong that it's trying to destroy Sora's heart. When Sora races in, Marluxia gives a speech about darkness, light and nothingness, transforming into a more powerful form. Despite Sora defeating him, Marluxia returns again for a fight onbaord his specter. However, he ends being defeated for good, begining to fade away. As darkness and flower petals flowed out of him, Marluxia tried reaching out to Sora, but finaly vanished before he could do so. This makes him the fourth member of Organization XIII to fade back into darkness; he's also the first to be an ending boss battle aside from Xemnas.
