Castle Oblivion, a Kingdom Hearts Story
A brief explenation!
I go with the Manga looks here, and Donald/Goofy are not with Sora. (Sorry, fans!) Remember,anything can happen in a story, even romance with things that lack hearts!
Now, on to castle oblivion!
Floor One: The Arrival
Voices...
"Her scent is of a human and a Nobody?"
"It makes no sense to me either...could someone possibly be half human, half... Nobody?"
My eyes open slowly, and before me I see two people. They both wear similar long black coats. One looks like a slightly older man-possibly thirty or forty years of age in appearance-with long, pale-yellow hair and eyes. The Other young man looks to be between eighteen and twenty-eight years of age, with gray hair, slightly spiked, and pale eyes of Grey. As my eyes fully adjust to the bright white of the room's walls, i see another man sitting on a nearby couch, fiddling with a chain. He has red hair that sticks up slightly, wavy, and blue eyes. His figure is awkwardly muscular, and I fear for anyone who makes him angry.
I feel weak, and notice quickly that I am lacking the ability to move. As soon as I do, the gray-haired boy, his eyes never wandering, places his hand, covered by a black glove, on my forehead. He then closes his eyes, as if examining my aura.
"It doesn't seem possible," He says to the older man, "But she is a Half"
"Should we report it to Xemnas, then?" the older man asks in a joke-like tone. The red-haired man stays silent the entire time, listening to the conversation, but not part of it.
"Perhaps we should keep this amongst us," The gray-haired boy responds, and the older man agrees. Then, the boy whose hand is on my head looks at me, retracting his hand slowly.
"She is awake."
The other two turn to face me as well.
"Where am I?" I demand, trying to move but failing. The boy puts two fingers to my lips to stop me, takes a potion- out of thin air, it seems- and puts it to my lips.
"Drink."
I do as told, and instantly feel refreshed. My body moves, and I sit up, rubbing my lallygagged eyes.
"So Where am I?" I repeat, still awaiting an answer.
"You are in Castle Oblivion," The Older Man Answers. "Home to Nobodies Four, Five, Six, Eight, Eleven, and Twelve.
The gray-Haired boy speaks next.
"I am Zexion, Number Six in the Organization," He states (quite politely, if I may say). He then points to the Red-haired Man, who does not look up. "He is Lexaeus, Number Five In the Organization-"
"And I am Vexen, The Older Man Interrupts, stepping in front of Zexion. "I am Number Four in the Organization, and the oldest member of castle oblivion."
He says this last line with so much pride that I almost laugh. However, my body is still unwell, so I do not.
"And who, pray-tell, are you?" Zexion asks, so as to appear friendly without getting out of his character, then elbowing Vexen for interrupting him. I stare at this young man stupidly. not actually remembering anything about myself except for my name, and the fact that heartless had invaded my world and tried to take my heart.
"I'm Ichu," I answer quickly when I notice Zexion raising an eyebrow to my taking so long to answer.
"Do you remember anything?" Vexen asks, as if reading my mind. I shake my head slowly, looking down. Vexen lets out a sigh, showing utter disappointment.
"Actually, all I remember is that when My world was taken by the darkness, I almost lost my heart to it and turned into a heartless," I explain, so that Vexen does not think of me as useless. "However, I was brought back if ever I was a heartless, because I'm here in my Human state... right?"
"However, young lady, your scent is of a Nobody as well as a human," Zexion states. "Can you explain that?"
I shake my head, and things become quiet, except for the occasional clink of the metal chains that Lexaeus was clicking together. Eventually, I break the silence, and ask,
"How did I get here?"
"He found you In a field not too far off," Vexen answers, laughing slightly as if he found it funny that a stranger would be lying out in the middle of nowhere.
Zexion Looks down.
"You were unconscious," He mumbles. "Your scent intrigued me. I brought you here."
"I think you came here after your world was swallowed, and collapsed" Lexaeus finally speaks, still tinkering with the chain.
This causes a thought to come to me.
"You told me that there were six people in this castle, right?" I proclaim. Vexen Nods. "So why are there only three of you?"
"We are the Underground members of Castle Oblivion," Zexion explains, crossing his arms. "The above ground members, If you wish to know, are Marluxia, Axel, and Larxene. Marluxia is the self-proclaimed 'Lord' of castle think he is plotting to overthrow the Organization." He picks up a cup of tea from a white table that I had not spottedand takes a sip of it. I stare at the tea kettle, watching the steam rise from it.
Zexion clears his throat to grab my attention once more.
"Axel," he continues, "is a laid back kind of person. I personally find him uninteresting." He puts the cup back on the table. "Larxene is cold-blooded, temperamental, and vicious. It's best to stay off of her bad side."
"I see..." I mumble, almost to myself. "So what now? I've nowhere to go, and I don't know what to do..."
"You'll just have to be here for now," Vexen Answers. Zexion Nods.
"In any case, I think You should stay in this room until Vexen clears things up with them." Zexion says. He pours some tea into another cup and hands it to me.
"To relax you," he states.
"Thanks," I reply sheepishly, taking the tea.
"I'm going up to go talk to Marluxia about this," Vexen announces.
"And yet you refuse to tell Xemnas," Zexion mocks, closing his eyes and sipping his warm tea. After some time, he opens his eyes and looks at me thoughtfully.
"Just don't let it get out of hand..."He says, his voice trailing.
"I promise you that I shall not and will not," Vexen Vows, opening a dark portal behind him., which I assumed led to the room where the Above ground members were. "You have my word."
He steps through the portal, and after a few seconds, it closes. I hear Zexion Mutter something angrily. It sounded like
"Liar."
