To know it is my turn...I cannot fail...I only get one chance in this reality...in this place...in this me...

It is here...I awaken.

Chapter 1: Number XIV

Memo: Well, here is the first chapter of ten. The actual beginning part of Axel and Nexus's story is shorter than the second, so if you're saying,"Only ten chapters from the chick who had NLB be 70 chaps?!" be patient. But it still won't be that long. It goes...10, 30, 20. :D Anou...I think that's all I have to say. Got it memorized? GO!

Nexus's PoV

"Welcome to the Organization, Nexus," Xemnas said, shaking my hand. I smirked, released his hand, and bowed my head. I knew this would be ultimately too easy. Posing as a Nobody and taking over the Organization from the inside out? Too easy. I reminded myself to talk to DiZ about his planning.

"Thank you sir. It's an honor," I replied. Xemnas nodded and disappeared, leaving me alone in Castle Oblivion.

What a sap.

"Boo," a voice said in my ear. I jumped a little and turned to see a hooded figure standing behind me. He was extremely skinny. He smirked and removed his hood. The first thing I noticed were his narrow but piercing green eyes, paired with equally bright scarlet hair. Two teardrops were painted under his eyes. A slightly pointed nose and a cocky smirk completed his look.

"Hm, I thought clowns were supposed to be funny," I said, raising an eyebrow. "How strange."

"Cute. Who are you supposed to be, a former rock band artist?" he retorted.

"No. I'm the new Organization member. My name is Nexus."

"The new Organization member. Well. Aren't we special. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?"

"Sure thing." I rocked back and forth on my heels, trying to look innocent. "Know where I could get a tour?"

Axel sighed. "You aren't afraid to say what you want, huh?"

"Nope." I smiled brightly, causing Axel to roll his eyes.

"Well, let's get started." He opened a portal and I followed him in. I knew that this would be a problem. Since I wasn't a Nobody, I couldn't simply open up a portal. This would definitely be a problem. Maybe the only problem, however. If this Axel guy was stupid enough to believe me, and if Xemnas was stupid enough to even let me in, the Organization would be destroyed in no time.

We ended up in a small room. A little blonde haired girl was sitting in a chair, intently drawing. Another hooded person was standing there.

"Axel, there you are," the person said. It was definitely a female. She removed her hood to reveal strangely styled blonde hair and big blue eyes. She might've been pretty had her facial expression not been so harsh. "Hey, who's the tagalong?"

"My name is Nexus. I am the newest member of the Organization," I said, bowing my head again.

"Well, Nexus, I'm Larxene." She then smirked. "Nice hair."

"I could say the same to you," I replied, smirking back. I liked my hair. It was black with side bangs covering my right eye. I had added pink streaks for the heck of it. People said that it showed off my blue-green eyes. Not that people really cared about me...

"She has you there, Larxene," Axel said, laughing. "So, this is obviously Larxene."

"Who's the kid?" I asked, walking over to the little girl.

"Her name is Namine," Larxene replied.

"Ohhh, so this is Namine...I heard about her, y'know?"

I turned to see Axel smirking at me. "You want your tour or not?"

"Yes, but it isn't a real tour unless you do some sightseeing, am I right?"

Axel huffed and opened another portal. I followed him in.

"Why don't you just open up your own?"

"Uh, hello? What part of 'I'm new' did you not understand, Axel? Do you WANT me to get lost and blame it on you?" I snapped. "Besides, I'm lazy."

"Oh, really."

I bit my bottom lip, trying to look casual. Did he already suspect me?

"Well, this is the basement. Not a lot to it, except for the people down here," Axel said, waving his arms.

"Even then, there's not much," I whispered, looking around.

"I would take that back now if I were you," a voice suddenly barked. I jumped and saw a silver haired man standing behind me. Why was everyone scaring me from behind?!

"Oh, hey there. I'm Nexus."

"Zexion. Welcome, newbie."

"Heyyy, only I can call people newbies, Zexy," Axel whined.

"Too late. Why don't you go find Vexen? She could stand to meet him."

"Nah, think I'll pass. She'll get enough of him later on."

Zexion muttered something under his breath and disappeared.

"See ya, Zexy," I said, giggling.

"Shut up, Nexy," Axel replied, chuckling. I gasped, then crossed my arms and pouted.

"You suck. I can't do that to you."

"Exactly, Nexy."

"SHUT UP!"

I summoned my keyblade to my side. It was a deep green on the hilt, a lighter green (not like lime, more like seafoam green) on the rest of the handle. The blade itself was copper with silver swirled into it. The charm was a teardrop shape. Axel gasped.

"So you're like...never mind," he murmured.

"Who?" I asked, lowering my keyblade. "Who am I like?"

"It's no one...well, there's another." Axel turned his back to me, smirking. "I'm sure you know of Sora, correct?"

"Yes, I have heard of him. Haven't met him yet, though."

"Well, he is a-"

"I am well aware that he wields the keyblade, Axel. What kind of dumb ass do you take me for?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure how to answer that, Nexus. Not yet."

I huffed a sigh as my keyblade disappeared. "So this Sora kid, he's going to be Marluxia's little puppet, am I right?"

"It looks that way."

"Well, that's stupid. You could use Namine's powers for something more useful and-"

Axel grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up in his face.

"TRUST ME, NEXUS, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT!" he shouted. He then released me and I snorted.

"Thought about taking the Organization for your own?"

"Yes and no, but not for power." He turned his back to me again. "I'm different."

"Well, you have yet to show me that, Axel. You seem the same as them all."

"It's still your first day, Nexy. Don't push it."

Axel opened another portal, shoved me inside, and muttered, "Tour's over. This is what happens when you piss me off."

I opened my mouth in protest, then closed it. "Jerk," I murmured, walking away.

I slowed my pace to a stop a few minutes later. Oh, I remembered Ienzo...he used to be my best friend. I knew them all: Even, Braig, Dilan, Ienzo, Elaeus, even Xehanort. They used to be my friends, and then they betrayed Ansem the Wise. They ruined all of that...

I shook my head quickly, erasing the thoughts from my mind. That was the past. I would have to forget it, or at least push it aside. It would be hard, but I had to. Things couldn't ever go back to the way they were. And I knew it.

*~*~*

Zexion paced around the basement, thinking. He was thinking about a lot of things; he always was. For example, why there was another scent like the superior's? And what about this new member, Nexus? Why did she seem so familiar? He didn't remember meeting her, but...there could've been the off chance they had met before. Unlikely, but still somehow possible.

The person Zexion thought Nexus reminded him of was a girl named Sune. She was his former best friend, back when he was known as Ienzo. But Sune disappeared along with Ansem...So it couldn't be her. Unless she had become a Nobody herself... That would be sad. Sune was very loyal to Ansem; she wouldn't give up...she wasn't like Ienzo.
