A/N This is mah first ever fanfiction, so go easy on meh poor little soul. Wait...I have no soul Mah bad. This takes place shortly after the second game. Most of the Organization members are back, and want to bring back their beloved... Dysfunctional family. On with the story!
Ruby was walking down a dark alleyway where she lived in the world of Hollow Bastion. Her dark wavy hair blew in the wind as a small sigh escaped her lips. It was, yet, another lonely Saturday night with nothing to do but sit around and do nothing. She leaned up against the wall as she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. It said the time was 12:00 AM.
"Oh well." She muttered to herself. "Not like anyone at home cares what happens to me anyway..." And with that said, she began walking again, walking farther into the alley, not really paying attention to what she was doing.
A shiver went down her spine. She stopped in her tracks as she strained her ears to listen to the going-ons of the alley. But the only thing she could hear was the wind.
"H-hello?" She called out. No answer. Another shiver went up her spine. A feeling of sadness and sorrow was around her. Like something had sucked the happiness out of the atmosphere. She turned on her right heel and began running back down the alleyway she had come, only to be blocked by a bunch of Heartless. They were Neo-Shadow heartless. Black, looking almost like the shadow heartless, but were much stronger.
"Shit!" She muttered under her breath. She turned back around, running back down the way she was going. She got about halfway back down it, when she saw another wall of Heartless.
"What the hell?!" She screamed to herself. Looked like she was going to have to get her hands dirty. She held out her right hand as a flash of bright light came, her scythe appeared in her hand. She gripped its handle tightly as she looked around herself.
She closed her eyes and focused on her surroundings, listening to the movements of the heartless. She opened her eyes again as she charged into the wall of heartless, swinging the scythe left and right, cutting through them mercilessly. After all, who really wanted to give mercy to a heartless, right?
The heartless were coming faster and getting closer now. Ruby was about out of energy. She didn't know how much longer she could last, but she knew she couldn't go down without a fight.
As the heartless circled around her, keeping her closed up, she began to spin in circles upon her feet. She let go of the scythe, placing her grip on the butt of the handle. She kept spinning on her feet, taking the heartless out all around her.
'Still too many!' She thought to herself. She panted, trying to catch her breath again. Where was Leon and Cloud when you needed them? She raised her left hand to wipe the sweat from her brow as more heartless lashed out at her. One neo-shadow slashed one of its huge claws for her head, but she quickly moved to the right.
They were coming faster now. It was almost like a black sea with yellow pebbles. Ruby kept backing up until they had her backed up against the wall. She held the scythe up, using it to parry attacks and shield herself. One rather large neo-shadow lunged at her rather quickly. She held the scythe up to block it and throw it back, but as she threw it back, she heard a snapping noise.
She looked down at her beloved scythe. The handle had been snapped in two. Ruby groaned loudly as she threw the pieces of her scythe away. She was now defenseless against the mob of Heartless. The Heartless kept coming towards her, eventually backing her up into a wall. She was now trapped with no way of getting out unless God loved her enough to grant her a miracle.
Her lips began to tremble as a strangled cry escaped her lips. She didn't want to become a heartless. She was only 16, and had her life ahead of her. She closed her eyes and waited for one of them to take her heart.
The blow never came.
The pain never happened.
She opened her eyes again. The Heartless seemed to have opened up a path in their wall of darkness. But this wasn't a wall to freedom. A man in a black cloak began to walk down the path of heartless. Ruby kept still against the wall as he walked towards her. Nobodies followed after. Circling his form in a lapdog manner. The man pulled his hood off of his head, revealing silverish blue hair, covering the whole right side of his face. The one eye you could see was silver as well. He was short, almost as short as Ruby, but a few inches taller. He was extremely pale, almost vampiric pale. His one silver eye locked onto her. She stood still as he came closer, almost locked in place, like her body was bound. He looked about her age, probably a year older at the most, but still young enough to be called a boy.
A small chuckle escaped his lips as he walked closer to her. He stopped in front of her, taking her chin in his right hand. His hand was extremely cold upon her skin, she slightly flinched under his touch. But he kept her face still as dark tendrils came from his form. The tendrils came onto her body. Binding her legs and feet together against the wall, two more went to each hand, holding them in place against the wall.
Ruby whimpered and struggled against the binds, but they held strong as the boy let a blank smile form upon his lips. One more tendril covered her mouth as to not let her make a sound. The boy walked over to her, placing his cold right hand upon the left side of her chest, over her heart. Her heart was beating very quickly as panic rose into her chest. She wanted to scream, but was unable to from the cold dark tendril over her mouth.
The boy's hand then sunk through her chest, his fingers curling around her heart. Ruby screamed into the tendril as million volts of pain went through her chest and body. He pulled, jerking loose the heart from her chest, plucking the heart-strings loose as the heart left her form. She stopped screaming and went silent. Blood flowed from her chest. The boy put his hand on the hole in her chest as darkness formed over it. Taking his hand away, he inspected her chest. The heartless symbol appeared over the hole in her chest. He smiled, placing the heart in an inside pocket of his cloak. The dark tendrils returned to his form, letting Ruby's body fall to the ground. Her eyes went blank, as they became a bright yellow, glowing in the dark. Ruby was now a Heartless. She was going to be a Heartless slave to the Organization XIII.
He picked her body up, heaving her over his left shoulder. He was strong for his thin form. A static noise came from his left pocket.
"Zexion, do you have her?" A voice asked.
Zexion let out an exasperated sigh as he dug into his left pocket, grabbing the walkie-talkie the other Organization member's had given him before he set off for this mission. He pulled it out, pressing his thumb to the red button on the side as he spoke into it.
"Yes, Axel, I have her," he replied in an annoyed tone.
"Then hurry up and bring her back," Axel complained.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Zexion said turning the walkie-talkie off. He sighed again as he raised his right hand in front of him, a dark portal forming in front of him. He stepped through the portal, coming out in front of the Castle That Never Was. This was going to be Ruby's new home. He walked into the castle, heading up to the new Superior's office to report a job well done.
