Day 275: Commence the pouring
PoV: Sovai
I had just exited a corridor entirely made of light, I was now in the center of a stained-glass pillar. In front of me were floating stairs, I was half-expecting a guard for some-odd reason.
I was about to take the first step, when a throbbing pain hit my head, "GAH!!!"
I was somewhere else, a mahogany patio, it was night out, there weren't many stars out. I looked up gazing at them, "See them, Sovia?" a calming voice belonging to a women asked. "Every star is said to be a world. Worlds that were once whole with this large one. They say that if you make a wish on a star, don't tell anyone but the star, then the world's light will make it come true"
"Wow" a child answered, "So if I make a wish right now, it'll come true?"
"Yes, but you must keep in mind. You have to pull your own weight, otherwise it won't come true. You meet it half-way, and it'll do the same"
"If I ask what I can do to make it come true, before making it, will it still work?"
"That it should"
"What can I do, to make dad come home soon?"
There was slight pause, "Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and believe it'll happen ... That's my advice"
"Believe?"
"Why sure. After all, if you don't believe in your wish, how can it be motivated to come true?"
There was a sigh, "I made my wish ... Will it come true?"
"Only time will tell. And speaking of which it's that magical time, Sovia"
"Aww, but I'm not sleepy"
"Says my little boy whose rubbing his eyes"
There was a yawn.
"And there's the yawn"
The vision now showed the mother's face; she had blue hair tied back, peach skin, sky blue eyes, and a smile as she patted her boy on the head.
I bright light flashed, and she was gone, I was left with a tear as I fell to my knees remembering, "No, mom ... Please don't leave me again"
"Sovia?"
I opened my eyes to a man's voice, not the voice from before, but someone else, also comforting.
I was now in the center of a plateu of ivory, a man with brown hair a few pointy bangs coming down at the sides, going back in sort of moahawk-ish way. His skin was peach, and his eyes were green as emeralds. He was standing in front of me, "An interesting name. So tell me, how long have you been holding onto that Keyblade?"
The visual adjusted so I was looking at a silver Keyblade, with a gold safeguard, and a blue ring in the center. "I keep hearing that same word, if this is a Keyblade" the visual returned to the man, "Then what is it?"
The man's eyes shifted to the right, "I'd tell you if I knew, but it is very rare that a human can come wield one like me"
"So we're not allowed to, because were human?"
"Allowed isn't the right word. There are only three ways someone can come to wield a Keyblade, each having to do with help from someone who can already wield one. Sovia, would you mind to explore the city of light with me?"
The visual nodded, "But, um, what's your name?"
He smiled, "My name is ..."
I was back on the stained-glass, "Grance ... My first friend"
The light surrounded me, I was now in a port, to the right was a lighthouse, in front of me I finally got a visual on what the person was wearing (he was the first). A charred red cloak, gold rings around his ankles, and wrists. His skin was snow-white, his eyes black as abony, his hair the same color a series of short bangs came down to his eyelids. "What do you want with me?"
He gave a bitter look, "Nothing. I was only sent here to escort you"
"To where?"
"I have no reason to satisfy your idle curiousity"
The next moment I was walking in a place with many ivory buildings, every person had a halo hovering over their heads. The sun was shining brightly, I could see that I was walking on clouds, the visual was moving back and forth slowly. "Is there a reason you have stopped walking?"
I thought about it for moment and then asked, "Is this heaven?"
There was slight pause, then he shook his head slowly, "Heaven ... No longer exists"
I began to flail my arms, "Whaddya mean it no longer exists, does that mean hell no longer exists?" I asked sarcastically.
"That depends on how you see the world you come from" he then took off, "We have wasted enough time already"
I was now in a room with a darker ivory making it up, there was a long table made of the same texture, at the left of it was girl with green hair, at the end of the table was a man with magenta hair, the both didn't have halos, and they both were wearing black coats, contrast to the people ouside in white robes. He had been doing some paper work, before he looked up and smiled, "Ah. So you have finally arrived. Thank you for bringing him, Reokean"
The man turned away, "I was only carrying out the mission"
He laughed, "Of course. Sovia, welcome to Sanctuary"
The visual looked around, "That's good and all, but how do you know my name?"
All of a sudden a man came through in some sort of teleporatation, he put his right cleched fist over his heart, "Grance reporting back, sir!" I looked behind me, sure enough it was Grance. I could finally see what he was wearing, a gray short-sleeved shirt, a high-collared black vest, a black wristband on his right arm, dark gray pants, black armored boots, and a black piece of armor on his left shoulder. He took one of me and nearly jumped out of his skin, "Uh, S-sovia?" he then turned with an angry expression to the man with magenta hair, "Why is he here, with Reokean, no less?!"
The man sighed, "I appoligize. Keyblade weilders are targets, humans ... Are either recruited or killed. I didn't want that to happen ... So for his protection, I had Reokean bring him here ... Granted. Perhaps I should have sent someone else to do it-"
"Then why didn't you?!" Grance outbursted.
"I would have, but everyone else was out on missions, and with my father ... All I can do is ask for forgiveness, your's too Sovia"
The visual shook, "Just answer me this, was I brought here to be protected because you need me ... Or ... To make sure if they found me ... That they didn't ..." For some reason I couldn't finish the sentence, though I guess at the time it was implied what I would have said.
"I wish to make something clear, though I did bring you here under terms you had no choice in ... I do not see you as a worthless pawn. I will not force myself onto you, only if you should choose ... Will I show you who I really am"
"Can you give me your name?"
Once again, I was back on the pillar, "Victor ... And Reokean ... An angel out-casted by his father the king ... And a man who had lived a cold, cruel life, because of the fear his existence struck people"
"You finally wake?"
I was yet again, surround by light. I ended up sitting by a bonfire, it was night, the distant sound of a running river could be heard. I turned my head, the man who asked had silver hair that reached down to the top of his spine, a bang coming down to the tip of his chin, and aquamarine eyes. He was wearing a black leather coat with a large collar that reached to his ears even though they were folded back, and the coat was kept closed by a black belt with a silver buckle around his waist.
"Where am I?" The visual shook.
"You're lucky that I felt like fishing you out, elsewise you'd be still heading downstream"
"Uh, thanks?"
"Why were you heading down stream to begin with?"
"An unversed batted me away into the stream, everything else after is blank" I took out a bronze pendent and there was a flash of light, "So tell me ... What's the name of my savior?"
"... ... No name ... Out of everyone ... Why is it I can't remember his?"
Secret
The organization had locked
Axel and
Roxas in a cell in the lower parts of the castle.
Roxas had pulled out his ‘Kingdom Key’ and tried to smash the glass of their cell open from the inside, but as luck would have it. It didn’t work. Each swing of the Keyblade was repelled and when the
‘Key of Destiny’ quit at using his weapon, he switched tactics. Why not switch from using his weapon to his element?
Roxas decided to put this idea to the test, but like his Keyblade, it failed.
"Roxas, quit it," Axel said groggily as he had just woken up from a nap he had taken earlier, while on the lower bunk of the white beds that sat in the corner of the small room.
Roxas looked back at the redhead with annoyance. "Axel, we have to get out of here and explain to them that we didn’t do anything wrong," Roxas explained. "So, why don’t you help me?"
Axel looked away. "Listen Roxas, even if I did help you my power wouldn’t do anything to shatter that glass"
"
How do you know?" Roxas asked starting to grow more frustrated.
Axel then looked at Roxas, "Because Roxas, this is an anti-gravity chamber, which means it repels all attacks and elements from the inside."
"Then, if attacks from the inside are useless then what about attacks from the outside?" Roxas asked.
Axel chuckled, "Listen to you Roxas, who in this castle would think of helping us?"
Roxas growled, "Shut up, at least I’m trying to do something to get out of this stupid pod, instead of just lying there and waiting till they try to annihilate us!"
Where Nothing Gathers
A meeting had been called in the Round Room, all five members of the council were there, Lexi, Xaldin, Saix, Larxis and Rexon, the replacement of the run-away and former leader, Xemnas. Each of them sat in their thrones with their hoods up. "It’s really quite irritating," Larxis began.
"What makes you say that?" Xaldin asked.
"Well, since we’ve gotten those traitors back. Why don’t we just eliminate them for treason?" Larxis asked.
Saix replied, "Because, we still need Roxas as our Keyblade wielder."
Larxis asked, "But, don’t you think that’s kind of stupid to let that little runt live?! What about his friend?"
Saix said, "Axel, will be exterminated."
"Hold on," Xaldin interrupted. "You’re forgetting
Saix that you don’t make the demands around here. Let
Rexon make the decision."
Larxis groaned and everyone’s attention was drawn to the new ‘superior’.
Rexon remained quiet.
Later on that same day,
Saix met up with Xaldin in the Grey Area. The two conversed on the opposite side of the room, where all the people were gathered. "Don’t you think this is ludicrous," Xaldin asked.
Saix replied, "As long as the council doesn’t find out that I’m going to let Akix absorb Roxas, then all for the better"
Xaldin asked, "Why would you want that lethargic little urchin to absorb
Roxas?"
"Because, Akix lacks the power to wield the Keyblade right now, but if she were to absorb Roxas then she would be able to use the Keyblade. And, Roxas isn’t going to serve us, because of what I told him earlier"
"Then, what about the Heartless? We need
Sora's Heartless to track down
Xemnas" Xaldin exclaimed.
Saix shot an icy stare at Xaldin, "I wish to keep to you something in mind, when Akix absorbs Roxas his Body and Soul will be freed, as a result it is possible that the heartless will cease to be"
Xaldin rose his left eye brow, "Possible?"
Saix looked away, "It hasn't been confirmed if heartless and any other remains of it cease to be when a nobody fades. The Heart and the Brain are dependent on one another, though hearts relinquished of darkness do not effect the Nobody physically, nobodies do seem to act in a ... Unique way when such an event occurs" He returned the same stare back at Xaldin, "Thus it is possible the heartless will be effected. As a result ..."
Xaldin shut his eyes putting his left hand on his chin deep in thought, then after several moments later his eyes jutted open, "
Sora will be whole ... Are you truly willing to risk it? The return of the Key?"
Saix didn't answer. It was a very large risk, one he would regret ... Saying if he had a heart, which he did not, however it would not be benefical in any way. That was saying, Akix couldn't make him weaker, and make herself more powerful in the process.
"Let him return"
Xaldin was dumbfounded, "For what reason?"
Saix put his right hand to his mouth, "Let us just say, it is foutunate that I am the one who assigns missions" He smiled from behind the sleeve.
DARK MARGIN
The memories were fresh and just as painful, this being the place that Xemnas had slapped me across the face, calling me a temptriss. I looked around remembering it, and after failing in my first mission. I finally sat down on the sand craddle position, looking at the crescent moon frozen in time, "Misery for eternity, that pretty much sums up the meaning of hell" I could feel tears forming.
"Hurt, it is something we all feel somewhere among life" a voice called out from behind her.
I turned my head immediately to the voice which was so familiar that I was afraid, no doubt. "What do you want?" I asked, the tears dripping off of my face.
The figure walked to the edge of the beach, "No matter who or what we are, so in an effort to get rid of it we belittle people, repeat actions that were done upon to us, and many other cruel things. But hurt brings people together, a world without darkness is a world without connections. Just as a world without light is a world without joy. Do you want the hurt to go away, Xewn?"
I was nothing short of being confused, Rexon had such intimidation and charisma, this man had charisma alright, but he was more ... Attracting. "Who are you?"
"Some call me a monster ... Others call me a miricle worker"
"I meant a name ... What's your name?"
"Victor"
"Well Victor, how do you know my name?"
"Because you are unique"
"Stop being so cryptic, just come out and say what you mean"
"Because you are in pain, because there is no other you, and also because you are special"
"That's still being cryptic"
"Two out of three are answers, the last is cryptic"
"Then explain the last"
"There is no need" a new voice whispered in my ear.
I looked around, a girl who looked exactly like me, aside from having black hair and amber colored eyes was standing next to me. She seemed to be wearing the same type of coat that I was.
"Who are you?"
"Malene" she answered with a smile, "Xewn, this man is a liar"
For some reason I could tell she was the liar, "Really?" I asked not at all believing her jest.
"Xewn, don't believe her, that man can help you" a new voice emerged from ... Somewhere.
Malene, scowled in Vicor's direction, "You stay out this you little bitch" she warned whoever had said it.
"Xewn, look at your reflection through the water" Victor instructed in a very passive way.
Malene's eye were now blazing with fury, "Don't tell her what to do" she said in a threatening tone.
I had no idea what it would accomplish, but did know one thing for sure out of this, I naturally despised, Malene. I then looked at my reflection.
"No ... Don't" Malene pleaded.
I squinted my eyes ignorning her, out of my reflection came out another look-alike of me, this one had silver hair, cotton blue eyes, and a white version of my coat. "Thank you, Victor" she thanked the figure, she was the one whose voice I had heard come out from nowhere.
Malene, was now trembling in anger, her fists clentched, "Damn you, both" She then acted extremely desperate, "X-xewn, you know the organization is still out there, t-they'll hunt you down. Stay here, h-here you don't have to feel sad, you don't have to face a world that rejects you"
I was a loss for words to know how she knew so much, but I still hated her, don't know why, but I did, "I hate this place ... Why would I want to stay?"
Malene's attitude didn't change, and if it did it become ever more desperate, "B-but you don't have to look at this place. What do you love the most? Axel, right? Where do you see him? The Station Tower. I can make that happen, you can be with him, forever"
I looked at her with a quizitted look, "How?" although I was very interested.
A devilish smile showed itself, "Illusions"
I was so close to strangling her, that's how mad I was. "Illusions?" I asked through gritted teeth, "They're not real"
"Reality is overated. Come'on, I can push away those awful memories deep into the bottom of your heart, you won't remember it's not real. But your feelings will stay true" She held out her hand, "Don't be afraid of the darkness ... It wants you ... It loves you ... Just as I do"
I then lost all of the anger, it was gone, no more pain, all of it could go away, just take her hand, and forget.
"Xewn, do you really you want to forget real people, people who do really care about you, for illusions?" The other girl asked.
Illusions, not real, but feel real. Reality, real, feels real ... Is real. I turned my head away from Malene, "The pain would still be there, and at some point it would return"
Victor held out a heart-shaped object, and a light appeared, a way out, a way out from the person who lead me here ... Malene. "The choice is your's. Give up on reality and live an illusion, or come with me, and seek mending to the hurts you bear"
Malene's confidence had disappered again, "No, please. I'll make you happy, I'll give you what you want, I'll-"
With that something snapped, an intense pain began to pound my brain, I fell to my knees, screamed a blood-curtling scream, and lost consciencous.
Fate's Gaze
The Goddess Fate looked up all a sudden, feeling she had heard someone scream, then someone arrived, Neo. (Fate wears a black hooded cloak, black cloth covers her legs almost completely, black high heels, and black fingerless gloves. She has peach skin, sky blue eyes, and long blue tied hair).
"So, have you heard? Chance has been having nightmares" Neo; the man who was wearing a mask that was white on the left side and black on the right side with Blood red lining the white eye hole and Navy blue lining the black eye hole. A white neck collar, a blood red vest, matching stiff cape, and black pants.
She looked at him with a drull look upon her face, "I never took you for the stalker next-door"
He looked away indignatly, arms crossed, "Oh hilaaarious your highness, I'll have you know I passed his room and heard him groaning" He then turned to look at her, "Further more I'm straight"
She shook her head, "What is it with men and their sensitivity to their sexual preference?"
He glared at her from behind his mask, "I'm not afraid to come over there and introduce your pretty little face to the back of my hand, y'know" After the snide threat he composed himself, "When one is caught within a nightmare their powers tend to either run mad or be displayed pathetically. It may come as a suprise to you, but Chance managed to unintentionally reawaken Sovia's soul"
Fate came up to him with a face of complete shock, both her hands on both his shoulders, "He reawakened Sovia's soul? Sovia's heart was cleaved due to Chance, Sovia cannot use his body, even if he was to return to his heart station he'd never be able to move his body"
"Do you think I don't know that? As we speak he's getting closer and closer to that station, when he does he will never be able to leave. My guess is Chance is leading him there so that he doesn't cause any trouble by talking with people from the outside via Beach Within"
Tears were now forming at Fates eyelids, "Isn't there some way we can bring Sovia back?"
"Physically, we're not sure"
"Then how about just releasing his soul?!"
"Without a working body or a working heart of his own he'd be full of anger and hatred towards Chance from the feeling he had before he fell to Sleep. He'd be nothing but a vengeful spirit causing mayhem wherever he went"
"Well at least it be better, better then being caged up for all eternity!"
"It would be hell either way!"
"Then what if Li-?"
"Life could only provide a vessel, and even if she did, Chance would never allow him to have a heart as well, it would be as if we nothing had been done"
"Then tell me, what must I do?! Are you trying to say there isn't a way?"
"No there is ... Sovia managed to meet with someone on Beach Within, now, if we can get the person to tell everything to Xewn she will be able to meet with the real Sora. If that happens, and I repeat! IF that happens there might be something for him yet. All you you need do is be patient, make sure Chance knows nothing of what we plan, and don't, I repeat, DON'T take any unneccsary risks. Can you do that for us?"
Fate looked unsure, "Us?"
"History, Hope, and myself"
"... I will try ... For Sovia"
Mysterious Tower
Yen Sid sat at his desk in front of his pupil, King Mickey and the King's servants, Donald the Mage and Goofy the head knight. The elderly man gazed at the two with his large, saucer-like eyes and said, "The return of Xehanort and his minions is an inevitable one."
Mickey gasped, "Really, but how can...?"
Yen Sid turned his head to the cresent-shaped moon outside. "Whenever, a person's Heartless and Nobody are defeated, the person comes back whole," the elderly sorcerer answered.
"You mean, somebody defeated Ansem and Xemnas?" Goofy asked.
Yen Sid nodded his head. "Precisely, however I feel that Xehanort isn't the only one whose yet to return," Yen Sid said nervously.
"Somebody's been working for that creep," Donald asked as he was turning red with anger.
"Yes, but whoever or whatever is working with Xehanort, I have no knowledge of," Yen Sid replied. "But, in order to stop Xehanort from trying to reconstruct and conquer Kingdom Hearts we'll need somebody with equal strength to fight and defeat him for good. Only then can everything be at peace" Yen Sid finished.
"So, Master Yen Sid, who are we going to get to help us defeat Xehanort?" Mickey asked.
Yen Sid replied, "That answer has many answers."
"Many answers?" Donald asked.
"Indeed, the effort of one person isn't good enough and since we have lost so many people to us, it may seem futile. However, the effort of one Nobody ties all of our lost ones together. He is the only one that can restore balance," Yen Sid answered.
DIVE INTO THE HEART
The blonde kept running up the steps, taking out heartless that drived to put an end to him. Where's the end? As he ran up the steps they were engulfed by darkness, finally after running for so long he could see a glimmer, the faintest of lights. After finally reaching it the heartless no long chased after him, "This is crazy. I feel like it's been months that I've been doing this"
Royf tranformed from Keyblade to the english blonde again, "Master, jus' a lil' fa'ther, we're a'most there"
Memories once again poured in. He found himself in a village practically on fire, a woman in red armor and a black mask in front of him weilding a Keyblade slowly came walking towards him, he could feel she had meant harm. But then Grance, came from behind and smashed the back of her helmet sending her far to his left.
Now he was no longer in the village, from what he could make of it, it was at a public hanging, a woman, no a girl about his age (Or about what he looked) was going to be hung, she wore an amethyst-colored dress and seemed to be accepting her fate. Then before she was hung he saw, what looked to be his Keyblade aiming for the rope of noose.
Scene change again, he was in a white room, there were two chairs, the room was divided by a thick clear glass, Victor was on the other side pacing, he no longer wore his black coat, he seemed to be wearing a golden suit, whatever it was for was anyone's guess.
Now he was looking at a book that read, "
The boy known as Death" the picture who of the boy on the white cover looked exactly like Reokean.
Now he was looking at a black castle in the middle of the night, "
Grance ... Hold on ... We're comin' for you"
I finally arrived back on the stained glass, "What were those supposed to mean?"
"Oh good, another person to kill"
He looked around no one there.
"Sovia, what are you doing here?!"
"This woman who stands before us has been accused of treason against the kingdom, a charge which cannot easily be forgiven, and therefore cannot be forgiven. Miss Reona, any final words? ... No? ... Very well then"
"STOP!!!"
"Ah, Sovia, welcome"
"The boy known as Death? Reokean?"
It took a bit of time, but he realized these were what were said in the memories. He looked at the door way, "I can feel it, we're close"
Alter of Naught
I sighed looking up at the moon created from the hearts of people who had perished, he wondered if his parents made up the phyical appearance of it as well, "Picking up the pieces, this is not"
"Perhaps" I turned around to see Saix walks up the stairs, "However, until we can make rid of Xehanort this is the part you will have to play. Just as this, is the part I must play"
I sighed, "The boy possesses a heart"
"Who? Roxas, I thought that had been already established?"
I shook my head, "Lexi, rather Eli" There was an akward silence after that, Saix was obviously trying to examine the facts to see if he could agree. I then looked back at Kingdom Hearts, "The swords told me, the fact that he cared that we were going to eliminate our best friend for such a pitiful charge as running-away, is only proof of that"
"Whose heart?" he qurried.
"The scent was very reminicent to the one of Roxas. A fallen Keyblade weilder, similar to the heart Xemnas has, but not quite, but remarkably close"
Saix then began to walk forward, "The wisdom of the universe, the patience of a saint, and the senses of the perfect hunter ... Your services would be to anyone the greatest advantage of them all"
I faintly sniffed, "Xemnas' daughter draws near"
Saix quickly looked at me, "Where is Akix?"
I smiled playfully, "At the bottom of the steps, getting up slowly to escape"
Saix turned around, "Akix, come" the girl who bared the face of Kai slowly walked up the stairs, peeking her head at me from behind the wall, fear could be seen in her violet-blue eyes.
I tried to laugh, "Saix, please tell me you don't hurt this little angel"
Saix rolled his eyes, as Akix was somewhat blushing, "Angel?" he said questionably, "Is hardly a proper term for a, undisiplined, foul-mouth, slothly, trouble-making-"
"Enough" I cut him off, "An angel doesn't need to be perfect" I turned to see her sticking her tougue out at Saix, which I rose an eye brow to. I then came slowly over to her and patted her on the head. She looked at me eyes so innocent, "Now, now, none of that" I said softly.
Saix was left flabbergasted at how my charisma had easily captured her data-made heart. And this kindness was no illusion either. "Why did'ja call me Xemnas' daughter?"
That sentence was all I needed to hear in order to realize much like the rest she was kept ignorant, I couldn't help but glare at Saix, who actually backed-away, "You ... Are ... Dismissed ... Saix" I said with much loathsome hatred. Saix, left via corridor, knowing how I hated, even as a nobody people who keep others ignorant of facts that had a right to. I then turned back to Akix, whose eyes were big and once again full of fear, moreso now. "Child, there is much that I have to tell you"
Flashback ***
Ukrix wondered the forest for many hours. He had been driven here by some unknown force. He went up to the gates and rattled the chains. "Locked!" Ukrix whimpered.
Just then, he noticed glowing in his hands. A large key formed. It was the Keyblade, "Wh-what is this?!" he demanded looking at the silver key. A shot of light fired at the lock, when it cleared up the lock was gone. Ukrix was left with a confused expression, "How the-".
He cut himself off and began to press forward, as he reached half-way from the door a familiar voice coming from the left told him, "This is private property, why else do you think the gate was locked?"
He looked at the figure, it was
Iz.
Revolutionary Base
Sweat was everywhere on my body, I had never been so exhausted in my entire life, "Can't ... Move ... Lungs ... Moving ... So ... Fast ... Over ... Exaustion ... That's ... How ... I'm gonna go ... Thought ... It would ... Be more ... Epic"
Xalun, looked down at me, "Really, and you called yourself a man?" she scoffed. "Fine then, you can be done for the week. When you survive longer I'll consider giving you less time ... Don't want you to get weak on me" and with that she walked away.
28 hours later ...
I woke up in an army bed, "Is this heaven?"
Ienzo looked away from his computer to me and shook his head, "Maybe if you wouldn't have slacked-off you would be more fit for the training"
"My muscles are still screaming" I admitted.
Ienzo looked back at the computer, "Why do think she gave you a week?"
"I was kidda thinking it waaas because she likes me"
"Who likes you?" Kai said walking into the room.
Demyx froze, "Err, no one, no one but you, cutie"
She looked at me with a raised eye brow than side-grinned, "Come up with another nick name, Dem" then turned to Ienzo, "Our leader told me to come check on you"
Ienzo rolled his eyes, "Oh did he?" he retorted.
She then looked over his shoulder and squinted at the screen, "What are you researching?"
Ienzo lifted his grape slushie to with his left hand so the straw could reach his mouth and took a sip, "Trying to learn what I can on this Sven character"
"Find anything?"
"Indeed. He's a keyblade master, was originally Master Xehanort's apprentice, before Ventus came along"
"Anything else?"
"He could give a Rexon a run for his money, he's ruthless, insane" he then looked at her with a smug grin, "It's a wonder why Xehanort didn't like him"
Kai rolled her eyes and shook her head, "That comment was not nessecary"
Curiousity killed the cat, "So what are you so interested about this Sven, anyway?"
Kai and Ienzo looked at me both, then at eachother, then back at me, "Do you even know who he is?" they asked simantaneously.
"Nope"
They couldn't believe it, Ienzo explained "Sven is one of our main enemies"
"We have more than one?"
Kai answered, "Yeah, we do. Xehanort is just one"
Lost in the Darkness
Namine sat in her chair sitting before Ukrïx, the Organization’s runaway. The boy’s greenish-blue eyes stared into Namine’s, but his expression was distraughter for some reason. "Why did you call me here?" the boy asked the witch.
Namine’s happy demeanor disappeared. She looked at Ukrix with her light blonde hair brushed up against the side of her face and her aqua-blue eyes appeared to be water. "Do you remember your ‘true name’?" she asked Ukrix.
Ukrix replied, "That’s a silly question, my name has always been Ukrix."
Namine shook her head, "No, it isn’t."
"What do you mean? My name has always been Ukrix," the boy said in frustrated tone.
Namine attempted to answer him, but she was soon stopped by the sound of an opening corridor. Out of the corridor, DiZ and the boy in red appeared. DiZ saw what Namine was doing and he ran behind her and pulled her up from her chair. He acted like a cop arresting a criminal. DiZ looked over at the boy in red (Iz) and ordered him to do the same.
Iz wrapped his hands around the muscular frame of the boy. Ukrix attempted to fight him off, but the boy would keep his hands tightened on him. "DiZ, what do I do next?" Iz, the boy in red asked.
"Take him to back to Twilight Town, he mustn’t know about his true identity. If he does then our plan fails," DiZ commanded.
Iz nodded. He gripped Ukrix by the waist and formed an egg-shaped, mass of darkness in the center of the room. Iz kicked Ukrix on the leg, telling him to move. Ukrix would refuse at first, but he gradually gave in when the pain got to him. After a couple of moments, the two were inches away from the portal. Ukrix looked back at Namine with a worried look. "Let her go," he demanded.
DiZ’s golden eyes glared at Ukrix with such intensity that the young boy was about to look away. Then, he looked down at Namine. She had the same sad look. Namine bit DiZ’s palm and said to Ukrix before the robed elderly man was able to place his hand back over her fragile, pale lips, "Ukrix, you won’t vanish, you’ll be whole…"
"Silence," DiZ screamed.
Before, Ukrix could reply, Iz pushed him into the corridor.
"Where the heck am I? Who am I really? What’s been going on for the pass couple days? Is this all just a dream? And, if so, what’s going to happen when I wake up? Will I ever get to see my friends again?"
End of Flashback ***
"What was-?" he began before.
"Ukrix, are you quite done day-dreaming? If so, we have to go, NOW" Xewn instructed to her friend.
"Uh, right"
Outside of Riku (Eww)***
"Why is he smiling?" DiZ asked looking at the sleeping silvernette.
"His memories have trapped his mind within a world created using those memories" The scientist said adjusting his glasses with his right index finger, "These memories belonging to Ukrix, belong to Riku, as he is Ukrix's other half"
"Will it delay the process?"
"No. Riku, won't remember any of it. Ukrix's feelings are just influencing Riku, because he is unconscious"
"
Feelings, ridiculous. Nobodies cannot feel emotions"
"That's not entirely true. Nobodies don't possess heart's of their own, or at least not one that is complete. However, the fact a nobody can think is proof their brain is still with them. A person's feelings are transmitted through the brain, the heart which is connected to it allows those feelings to be physically expressed. Not only that, but if a nobody is around a heart long enough something happens to allow them to express these emotions"
"Fascinating" DiZ said sarcastically.
Marcus looked at him hard, "Is that it? You've shut your heart, just as you've shut your mind?"
"I just ... Do not care anymore ... Had I ever a purpose? ... What do I have to live for after? ... My dominion is ruined ... My apprentices ... Betrayed me ..." he slowly took his right hand and put it over his heart. "I ..." he seemed to be kneeling down on ... both his knees? His eyes tightened, he put both of his hands on the ivory floor. "I ..." a tear fell off of his bandages, "I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO LIVE FOR!!!" he shrieked as tears rained down from the crying figure.
Marcus, could only but watch his friend, now a broken man letting out all of his bottled up emotions which he had kept trapped for the last past decade.
Where Nothing Gathers
A meeting had been called, all of the five were sitting in their designated spots. Everyone in the room, except one had their hoods down. Larxis looked at the figure that kept his hood up, "Rexon, why have you called us here?" the blonde-haired teenager called back as he swept his daggling, zig-zag bangs back.
The hooded figure remained silent.
"He wasn’t the one that had called this meeting," Saix said irritably.
Larxis glared at Saix.
"Larxis, stop acting like a spoiled child," Xaldin exclaimed.
This quieted down the young blonde.
"Now, let’s get onto business," Saix said.
All five heads were turned to the seventh throne. "What are we supposed to do with the traitors?" Lexaeus asked.
Saix looked up to Rexon’s throne. "Well, I’m going to let Rexon decide," Saix answered.
The room was suddenly filled with a chatter of complaints and groans. Saix interrupted, "If this commotion keeps up then you all will be eliminated."
The room went silent.
Rexon, the hooded figure cleared his throat, "Well, since we don’t have anymore Keybladers, I have decided to spare Roxas from execution, however since Axel was the one that led the escape he will be faced with…"
"Wait," a shrill voice yelled.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Lexi. The orange-haired boy said, "Don’t execute Axel! Sure, he made some bad mistakes, but look he was serving. You can’t execute for doing that."
"Why are you acting like you have a heart?" Saix asked.
Rexon interrupted Saix, "Alright then since both of them escaped, both of them will have to do double the missions. Meeting adjourned.
Notice:
Confused with how many members there are, what their names are, if they're alive still, and where they are if so? Well we were in the same boat, here's the first Organization Track Sheet. My description is a little vague on some, Xiolio's is more elaborate, but you get the gist either way
Organization Track Sheet:
I: Xemnas, The Superior.
Bio: The former leader of the Organization of Nobodies. He was eliminated by Vanitas. Unbeknowest to the organization.
Xehanort's whereabouts are unknown, though those who of his return have pinpointed him to HB.
II: Xigbar, Freeshooter.
Bio: A man of many mysteries, and only a few answers. He tends to banter to keep things under the radar. He made Roxas, mad and was then terminated by him.
His whole Braig, is currently aboard a massive gummi ship along with Master Sven. The two seem to be on similar agendas but slightly different copies.
III: Xaldin, The Whirlwind Lancer.
Bio: A man who knows how to tug at the strings of others exceptionally.
Currently, at the castle.
IV: Vexen, The Chilly Academic.
Bio: A scientist who spent most of his time tinkering away at data of others and creating replicas out of them. He was terminated by Larxene, before she perished as well.
His whole Even, is currently keeping watch of RG, his actions are put into question as he seems to be trying to keep the citizens of the town safe in secrecy.
V: Lexaeus, The Silent Hero.
Bio: One of the Council Five whose interest lies in the well being of the members.
VI: Zexion, The Cloaked Schemer.
Bio: A seemingly anti-social who was the exact opposite. Though on the surface he was someone who wished to benefit the organization, he was really a man working against Xemnas from the very beginning even before becoming a nobody. Though he could never stand-up to him with a fighting chance, until he found Saix who informed him of a revolutionary against Xehanort and all those who had been corrupted by him. He was terminated by Riku supposably but this has not been verified as the organization reffered to his killer as a heartless.
When he regained himself he used his journal as source to intetionally remember what had gone on before this, but unintentionally found records written by Zexion, allowing him to regain all of his memories in a gradual process. While wandering HB he came upon the leader of the revolutionary. Remebering his face he asked him why he was there, the man grabbed him out of the place before it's destrution by the gummi ship MS (Master Sven) and Braig were on, saving Ienzo's life. He learned of Demyx's betrail (Towards the Organization XXX) from the man and then sent a messenger to Demyx so he could meet with Ienzo. Ienzo thought to check the data in Ansem's computer but to no avail. Ienzo then decided to bring Demyx to the Revolutionary base.
VII: Saix, The Luna Diviner.
Bio: A seemingly cold and isolated man who much like Zexion is anything but. He is member of the revolutionary and one of the Council Five. For the sake of his character he is still keeping up the charade on the premises of the castle. His interest is keeping progress marching on, side from Akix, he has deep loathing for replicas.
VIII: Axel, The Flurry of Dancing Flames.
Bio: A flamoboyant and wise-cracking man who seems to just want to keep everyone okay. He is also one of the main characters to the sequel: On the Run
IX: Demyx, The Melodious Nocture.
Bio: A self-unmotivated guy who lets his water take care of the dirty work, while he jams out with his sitar. Like Axel, he is a wise-guy, sometimes difficult to read but without a doubt knows his limits. In Ukrix's dream he betrayed the organization and gave Ukrix a scar in the center of his chest as an alliby. Ironically enough, he actually did the same to Xaldin before running off.
He is currently going through training at the Revolutionary Base with Xulna as his teacher, the challenge of a lifetime rest assured.
X: Luxord, The Gambler of Fate.
Bio: His title says it all, moreso because he's a lady's man, and a player at that
XI: Marluxia, The Graceful Assassin.
Bio: A former member of the Queen of Hearts trial commitee. Due to his brother he is currently locked up in the basement (Ouch).
XII: Larxene, The Savage Nymph.
Bio: A sadistic woman who met her end by Vanitas. Arlene, her whole's location is unknown 0.0?
XIII: Roxas, The Key of Destiny.
Bio: A Wild Card and a Walk Moodswing. He is known to be very agressive when angered, and is much like Sora as he is his nobody standing up for his friends, though in a much careless way, for example standing up for Xion by killing off the person who badmouthed her, Xigbar.
Seeing as Sora, had Ventus' heart within his body at the time of becoming a nobody it followed and shaped his body into what Ventus looks like at present day. He is also one of the main characters to the sequel: On the Run
XIV: Xion, Key to Sora.
Bio: A Replica, of Sora based on the data of his nobody Roxas. She took on the appearance of Kairi as she is the strongest memory he had at the time he became a heartless and produced Roxas. Originally, Xion's face was blank, however when Sora's memories came into Roxas, she absorbed them, thus gaining an identity. Vexen, after being humilated left with anger, creating Xion, however though he made her to be a Sora replica he added a bit of a twist, by making her also a replica of Vanitas, after learning of Ventus' heart being in Roxas with no half of darkness and remembered Ventus, with a devious grin.
Easily said, when she learned of this new intention she tried to stay away from Roxas, to prevent it from reaching fruition. Her title was actually given as a joke by Xemnas. She is also one of the main characters to the sequel; On the Run.
XV (1): Xewn, The Heart's Keeper.
Bio: A Replica of the of the organization. Unlike most replicas she absorbs life force from all things around her, which by and by makes them weaker and her more powerful. She tries to keep up a serious impression, while inside she is actually very alone and afraid of the people around her. Xewn, being recently assigned for termination has left, be for herself or for the people who are suffering because of her.
She is currently being taken to Oryoko Base.
XV (2): Xia, The Frozen Defender.
Bio: Orignally, Lexi's mentor. She ended up being terminated by Vanitas.
Her whole Ai, has been said to have emerged though it's only one of the many rumors in the organization.
XVI: Lexi, Child of the Wild Embers.
Bio: A bit of a tough guy. His friendship with Ukrix, is meant to mirror Axel and Roxas'. Despite having less of a connection to Axel and Roxas, he disobeyed his termination orders and let them go at C.O. He is suprisingly one of the Council Five, and seems to care Within his own interests. He deeply regrets saying what he did to, Xewn. He is opting to do as Saix, had said Axel, was trying to do to Sora in KHII, only to Riku.
XVII: Yaguxa, (Not known).
A mysterious nobody that arrived before Ukrix, but is currently unknown of where he/she is or if their alive.
XVIII: Ukrix, The Sword of Darkness
Bio: Riku's nobody. He seems to be either very brave or very stupid, having enough gall to call Xion, fat (Even if she isn't). Ukrix, seems to be the 1/10 people who just don't care for sea-salt ice cream. He left the organization for fear that he might end up being absorbed completely by Xewn. He was beat up by a Vanitas B (Riku-Half), managed to get away but ended up getting taken in by Iz and was then merged with Riku.
His Whole is just about to wake up
XIX: Xavier, The Schemer of Illusions.
Bio: A replica of Zexion. A somewhat more cocky version of Zexion, besides having auburn hair instead of steel-blue. He is currenlty locked up in a cell down in the basement, plotting his revenge with Mar and Xiolio.
XX: Xiolio, The Rapid Gunner.
Bio: A replica of Xigbar. Xiolio, is actually a lot more wise-cracking than Xigbar, top it off with being a lot more careless. He eventually ended up getting locked up with Marluxia and Xavier.
XXI: Akix, The Drowsy Assassin.
Bio: As her title would lead you on, she is often falling asleep, whether she tries to or not. She is a replica based of a person who Xehanort thought of as a sister. Despite this, she was intended to be his daughter, and when the new world was complete she would have inhereted it and had just as much say (That saying she cared -_-').
The fact that Xemnas, was willing to put his daughter under Saix care just shows how much he really trusted him. After Xemnas, was eliminated Saix, had suprisingly gotten used to Akix, one could say she's now Saix's daughter (joke). She really hasn't changed that much, she's still disrespectful and still falling asleep. Saix, has the belief that her constant falling asleep is some deficiency she as a replica has, and is also the reason behind her mood (Because she has to be woken up, which puts her in a foul mood). Oddly enough, she has acquired the ability to weild a claymore like Saix.
Fun Fact: She has never been to any other world except The World That Never Was. Maybe that's the reason she's always falling asleep (She's only been in a world that is constantly dark, aside from the heart-shaped moon).
XXII: Larxis, The Poisonous Troll.
Bio: He was among the traitors of the Organization, but unlike his sister he didn't meet a foul end. Instead, he teamed up with Marluxia and his goons after he found out that Larxene wanted nothing to do with him. He was Larxene's Somebody's little brother until he and his sister fell to darkness. He is now a council member biding his time till he can make all forms of Vanitas pay.
XXIII: Wixa, Devious Witch.
Bio: She is among one of Vexen's failed experiments. He had sealed her away deep within his lab, but for reasons unknown she escaped. Afterwards, she sook revenge against her creator. Wixa was the Replica of MX's mother.
Appearance: Dark skin like Xehanort's Heartless, yellow eyes, and long braided silver hair and the appearance of a teenage girl of sixteen.
She has currently been eliminated by Vexen's subordinate, Naxel.
XXIV: Naxel, The Whirlwind of Disaster
Bio: Naxel, along with Toxiel had served as goons for Ansem the Wise's six apprentices. They would round up and kidnap as many people as possible back to the lab, so Xehanort and the others would perform their horrendous experiments on. But, during the Heartless Invasion of their world, Naxel's Somebody along with Toxiel's met their end. Luckily, their former mentor, Even's Nobody, Vexen took them in and trained the two of them in the depths of their lab.
Currently, Naxel is hiding.
XXV: Toxiel, the Glunt of Destruction.
Bio: Big and silent as Lexaeus. This boy seeks to avenge Vexen. He and Naxel were grunts for the apprentices, but lost their hearts during Maleficent's seige of their home world.
Toxiel was killed off by a Heartless on a mission to Wonderland. Somebody location, unknown.
XXVI: Vebex, the Chilling Scholar.
Bio: One of Vexen's 44 replicas, he seeks to become his own person and cast aside the appearance and memories of his creator. He is attempting an invasion of The World That Never Was.
Currently, he is a fugitive.
XXVII: Buxala, Charming Whisper.
Bio: Heavily built and surprisingly quiet, this woman has sought to prove her strength and mastery of Earth. She is the replica of Lexaeus.
Currently, she is asleep within her pod.
XXVIII: Rexon, The Elemental Revolutionary.
Bio: One of The Council Five, he can easily be reffered to as an idealist. He is also Marluxia's brother.
Currently, tracking down Xewn.
XXIX: Calaxious, the Chaotic Giant.
Bio: This boy has the quick stealth and a great mastery of the winds. He is a replica of Xaldin.
Currently, he is asleep within his chamber along with the other replicas.
XXX: Saxas, the Key of Mystery.
Bio: The youngest boy within the Organization. Xemnas brought him into the Organization in his final days as Superior before being eliminated. Saxas knows almost nothing of his past or even how to react with his fellow Nobodies.
Currently, going through his enrollment in the Organization
Twilight Mansion***

The pod opened, the silvernette slowly opened his eyes as the water he had been in drained.
I stood there all wraped in bandages with a delighted smirk upon my face, "I trust you had pleasent dreams. Riku, Hero of Darkness"
Rebirth ...
The Castle that Never Was***
[video=youtube;WqAgt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqAgt...eature=related[/video]
I ran down the hallway, but then saw the Luna Diviner waiting for me.
"Sucurry back to your room, Xion. Or else-"
I glared at him, "Or else what, you'll kill me? Do it then, if you can" and then summoned my Keyblade.
"Don't temp me. Xewn, already left. You are safe"
"For now. Anyway, I'm leaving for my own reasons"
He summoned his Claymore, "Over my dead body"
To set things right ...

Mickey: Master Yen Sid, I'm sorry for bargin' in here without givin' you a heads-up, but I've got something important to tell ya.
YS: (Nods) Apologies are not necessary, the stars have already told me that you would be arriving soon. So, what is it that you wish to tell me?
Mickey: Remember back 11 years ago, y'know before I went to the Keyblade Graveyard? You warned me about that man with the scar and the eye patch.
YS: (shuts eyes) You refer to, Braig?
Mickey: (nods) Apparently, he's currently on a huge gummi ship and causing chaos to all the worlds.
YS: I had hoped that the stars were wrong, unfortunately that was not the case. (opens eyes) Even so, I would have never anticipated he was an extremist of such high caliber.
Mickey: I never would of either, but there's something else ... There's a man by the name of Sven, on board. He's a Keyblade Master so ...
YS: You assumed I would know of him?
Mickey: (nods with a depressed expression)
YS: Now that I think back, I do recall the man which you speak of. He was once Xehanort's apprentice.
Mickey: (Expression lightens up) Gee, but wasn't Ven and Vanitas his apprentices?
YS: (Nods) True. However, long before Xehanort had ever met Ventus, perhaps even before his birth, Xehanort, had an apprentice by the name of, Sven. Sven, had been taught underneath Master Xehanort's teachings for most of his own life. But never once did Xehanort call forth a 'Mark of Mastery Examination'.
Mickey: (Tilts head) But why?
YS: Xehanort, after Sven, had questioned why he had not called one forth consulted me.
The coming storm ...
Yen Sid Flashback
Sixteen years ago ...
[video=youtube;kLmz0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLmz0...el_video_title[/video]
The door opened and he came in, I hardly recognized him; he was now bald, his goatee had grown in, and his figure was now hunched. "I am afraid I did not come hither bearing good tidings, my old friend"
I rose my left hand to coax him, "It is all right. Now tell me, what ails you?"
With a sigh of anxiety and the shutting of his eyes he answered in the raspy voice he had attained, "My apprentice, Sven. For most his life he has been my apprentice, but I fear he lost that role quite some time ago. Sven, in intentions is a good boy, however he shuts his heart on both the light and the dark. And yet is able to control his darkness far superior towards mine. He is in fact an entity that stands outside the balance"
I had known for quite some time that Xehanort's avocation is to the dark side of the heart using which to uphold the balance between the two sides; Light and Darkness. "Not to be insolent, but I fail to see the problem"
"You don't? Then consider this, if you will. At innocence we attain a light, each being of different strengths, until the age of ... Say 10 that light grows on its own, when a person reaches the coming of that age darkness begins to shape within our hearts. We are afraid of what we do not understand, knowing something does not mean that we understand it. You and I both know this. Now, Sven, has never ventured outside the 'Badlands' and he remains outside the balance, put these three facts into consideration"
The was a slight pause, "Now tell me, is it improbable, that he would be ostracized by the people of the worlds he visited?"
I had been thinking with my eyes shut ever since he told me put the three facts together, and now opened them, "So you worry, that standing outside the balance gives one the ability to disrupt it?"
"Exactly. Someone who stands outside the balance is able to use darkness and light simultaneously. But one who shuts their heart on light with this status has the quality to bring about ruin, one which gives no chance for creation. May I remind you of the legend?"
I there and then had the realization which Xehanort was trying to bestow upon me, "Do-do you-do you wish to tell me you suspect-Sven is-" I was stuttering, for the discussion had just become forbidden. "Seven childern. Satin, Jesus, Death, Life, Lust, Anger, and Envy are the souls that stirred in their graves after their destruction along with one supreme individual who has yet to possess a child ... To our knowing"
I felt my head, "Xehanort, the end of everything could be the doing of your apprentice"
"Indeed. It would be no exaggeration to say that the darkness has succumbed to him"
Another reason ...
Back to the present
Mickey: I'm not sure what you two meant.
YS: In otherwords, he is someone who possesses great formidable power, and only one
who can match his power can defeat him.
[video=youtube;kxAyfFvI690]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxAyfFvI690[/video]
Mickey: (Tilts head and then looks shocked as he slams his hands on the desk) No way! Are you sayin' that's the reason why Xehanort, was after the Death-Blade?!
YS: (Closes eyes) If not one. (Opens eyes) But yes, Ventus, was one of the people who could have stopped him.
Mickey: (Tilts head) One?
YS: Yes, Vanitas, has spread his influence to three others, Riku, Kairi, and Ienzo. Sora, being Ventus' darkness and the replica of Sora, Xion, which was altered having Vanitas' data implanted in her.
Mickey: (Closes eyes and crosses arms) Hmm ... I had alway wondered.
YS: I wonder ... What has become of Ventus' heart (looks at stars then looks back) Mickey, our search may be coming to a close.
Mickey: (Opens eyes) Whaddya mean?
YS: Ventus' heart seems to have had recent activity on the day Sora became a heartless, far too common to be just a mere coincidence.
Mickey: Immm ... (Opens eyes and smiles) Okay. (Summons Star Seeker and places on table).
YS: What are you about to do?
Mickey: I'm gonna go find, Riku. I figure seeing as he went missin' not too long after that maybe he went to go find Sora.
Friendship ...

Maleficent: How dare you return here, you useless-!
Pete: Ya gotta understand, 'nother one them brats had a Keyblade. (Gets on knees) I was outmatched, please have mercy!
Maleficent: You worthless little-
Pete: (Braces for impact)
Man in blood red cloak: Truly a sight which could make even god himself spit upon your face. (Takes a bite out of a red apple)
Maleficent: (Turns her head eyes lit with rage) Who are you and what business do you have for setting foot in my castle?
Man in blood red cloak: (Takes pinkie and wipes within right ear) I'm terribly sorry, I thought you said this was YOUR castle. Because that would be funny, given the fact you're not the one who had the place built, nor do you rule with an iron fist. All you did was come here with a few thousand heartless, merely wipe your feet on the door mat, and say "Alright this place is officially mine and mine alone"
Maleficent: Who in the name of hell do you think you are to spit such words at my face? I am the mistress of all ev-
Man in blood red cloak: Mistress of all evil ... Yes, well I couldn't care any less if you were the devil incarnated. Who I happen to be quite good friends with.
Maleficent: And I could care less about hearing your aquaintances before I bring about your untimely demise.
Man in blood red cloak: 230 some years late, I already met my end, which in that case gives your pety little threat as much significance as a joke coming from a jester. Enough of this squabbling though, I came here to aid you not to tarnish your name.
Maleficent: How so?
Man in blood red cloak: Just expect a girl with black hair by my next visit. Do try to remember that what happens afterwords is all courtousey of Hades' right hand subordinate. Reokean R. Day; The Reaper. (Smiles slyly)

"Two ... For the price of one" The shell spoke.
Xemnas was within the cracked Darkness-Zero Cell wounded, his counterpart beside, "No, you can't do this, I'm, I'm your mast-"
"Not anymore ... Thanks for the restart ... But ... I'm not gonna give you the Death-Blade ... Not even if you were to suck up your pride and beg on your knees" He started to walked down to finish them, each foot step echoing, "I don't work for you anymore ... And I don't feel like helping you with your stupid ambitions" He stopped at bottom of the steps, "To save all world which are rottening more and more with darkness? ... To let harmony reign? ... And to have a young and powerful body before leaving for KH???" He then laughed, "Huhahahaha, what a stupid dream you have, indeed. And what have you done to make it a reality ... Made a boy do something which he clearly couldn't do ... Plotted the untimely demise of an apprentice which you decided was an abomination ... Pitted the one I replaced against his master ... Made your best friend and the man who was like a son in his eyes fight eachother ... Killed your best friend in cold blood ... Tempted a man who was going through a lot, all according to your plans" He then laughed again, "Even I'm not that twisted" He began to raise his Keyblade, "And now, you're finally going to get your's"
Xemnas backed away, being in a Darkness-Zero Cell he couldn't escape via CoD. "I-I will make you pay dearly if you do this"
Vanitas stabbed Xemnas 7 times and then Ansem the same amount, "I'll burn that bridge when I come to it"
Dark Beginnings ...
On the Run ...
The future will be either dark and gloomy or sunny and full of life ...
Beach Within

"So, Xion?" Sovai asked rubbing sand between his fingers, "What is it like, on the outside?"
I shook her head looking up at the sun, "Not fair, that's for sure ... At least-For a puppet"
Sovai gave a sad expression, "Long ago, a war broke out where humans and chosens fought, many died, few can tell the tale. Back then ... The world was more one ... But now-"
"It's not, but you know, that just means it's much larger ... Saying they're all connected"
"Yeah ..." His eyes seemed to trail-off then they lit up, "Hey Xion, when ya see'im, Sora, can you give'im a message?"
I turned my head to him shocked that he wanted me to do something for him, "I'll try"
"Sora, even though you are darkness, you just remember at the beginning of darkness, is light. Share your light with those who are hurting, even if they don't want it. Because, if you can do that, their wounds will be healed and they will ... Open their heart in return. Can you tell him that?"
I wasn't sure and began to look away, "That's quite a lot, but I'll try. One question though" I looked him hard, "Why do you want him to hear that?"
"Eternal darkness ... Is despair ... But as long as there's light, there's hope. Even though everyone's light goes out at some point, new lights can be lit, be they of the person whose went out, or of another. A friend told me that last bit a long time ago, despite what he was, he was good man ... Saying he's alive still"
I laughed opening a corridor, "I can't tell whether that was really sappy or really deep"
He smiled devilishly, "Heh, truth is in the eye of the beholder"
Choose carefully ...
