"My name is Liexand. I am a nobody. I'm not just any kind of nobody though. I didn't come from someone losing their heart. I manifested from the memories of another nobody. I'm currently hunting down other nobodies that are just like myself. It wasn't till I located them all that I realized that the nobodies we had come from, were none other than Organization XIII. We have now joined forces dawning the same dark cloaks as the dead organization and our mission is to find the keyblade of legend. The Shattered Heart. It's said that those who wield this keyblade can bring back lost hearts. However, should it fall into evil hands it can take away the hearts of it's users targets. I'm going to start at the beginning though. Back when I was trying to recruit our first member, Leanex."

"That sounds like a load of crap." Liexand said as he brushed a loose strand of orange hair from his eyes to better see her. "Oh come on. You can't tell me you're not a tiny bit curious about it." The young blonde said fiddling with her sitar, attempting to tune it. "Seriously Leanex? A mystical keyblade that can bring back lost hearts to their owners? That's just so...ridiculous!" He said jumping up to sit on the ledge behind him. "I know it's real! The moogle down the street said so!" She said waving a hand in the moogle's direction. Liexand stared at her with a serious yet bewildered look on his face. "The moogle told you? Is this the same moogle that told you there was gremlins living under the fountain in the town square?" He chuckled. "Hey! There are gremlins under the fountain! They're just really good at hiding!" She said crossing her arms and turning away from him. "Oh? And what do they do under the fountain? Make shoes?" He laughed as he jumped down from the ledge. "No! Pfft whatever! Do you want to help me or not?" She said angrily brushing her hair from her face. "Fine. I'll help you, but don't blame me if this turns out to be just another wild goose chase." He said jabbing a finger an inch from her face.

Liexand and Leanex walked down the street on their way to the accessory shop. "I hope that guy finished fixing my chain." Liexand said putting his hands behind his head and staring up. "He should. He's been working on it for two weeks." Leanex said, annoyed by the fact that Liexand was dragging her around town again. As they neared the accessory shop a young girl with long black hair approached them. "Excuse me. Do you happen to know who I am?" The stranger asked. Liexand and Leanex looked at each other curiously and back at the girl. "No." They said in unison. "Oh..." The girl said dropping her head depressed. "So, you don't remember who you are?" Leanex asked slightly worried. "No. I can't remember where I live, where I am, or even who I am." She was almost in tears now. "All I know is that I can summon this strange key." She said holding up her hand as a large key appeared in her hand. Liexand smiled and his eyes gleamed with excitement as he realized who this girl was. She was the memories of ,Xion, the 14th member of Organization XIII. "Hey. Would you like to come with us?" Liexand asked grabbing her hand. "You'll need a name though. How about...Lexa? That's the perfect name!" He said cheerfully. "Are you sure about this, Liexand?" Leanex asked with a slightly confused tone. "Oh I would love to! Thank you so much!" Lexa said gleefully as she hugged Liexand. Liexand laughed nervously. "No problem." Leanex looked over at Liexand with a single eyebrow raised. "She's Xion's memories." He whispered to her. She nodded in understanding before the three of them went back on their way to the shop.

It was early afternoon and the sun was shining brightly down on the city of Radiant Garden. Though Leanex and Lexa were able to use the portals of darkness to transport themselves between worlds, only Liexand ever came to Radiant Garden. There was something about this world that made him feel at home. As he walked along the street, with his new black coat waving in the gentle breeze, he came to a small alley. Down the alley he noticed a young man with slicked back hair as dark as night. A blindfold covered the man's eyes but he seemed to be able to know his way around the small garden he was tending too. Liexand entered into the alley and approached the man. "How can I help you?" The man asked without even turning to face him. "Oh! Uh, I was just admiring your garden." Liexand said glancing over to a small group of flowers that were adjacent of him. "Well thank you. I come to check on them everyday." The man said planting a batch of new flowers. "Pardon me for asking, but how do you know they're ok if you can't see them?" Liexand bent down to lightly breathe in the scent of a lone rose. "I'm not sure. It's like I can speak to them like I know what they're thinking." Liexand looked at him puzzled with his head half cocked to the side. "Speak to them?" He asked with an eyebrow raised in confusion. "Yeah. Though I can't see them...I can hear them clear as a bell." The man said as he stroked a flower that immediately bloomed from his touch. Liexand stared at the flower in awe. It had dawned on him now that this man was a nobody that manifested from the memories of Marluxia. "Hey. What's your name?" Liexand asked approaching the man. "Nexus...My name is Nexus." He said standing up to face Liexand. "Well, Nexus. Would you like to join me on a quest of mine? I could use a man with your talent." Nexus motioned his head around as if looking at the garden around him. "Don't worry. You're always welcome to return to your garden whenever you like." Liexand said with a smile. Nexus returned his smile and nodded. "Ok. I'll help you." "Great! Follow me then!" Liexand said pulling the man through a dark portal and back home.

A dark portal opened up, out of sight of any people that might live here or give away the fact that they were there. Lexa and Liexand exited from the portal, gazing around at their surroundings. "Where are we?" Lexa asked as she adjusted her coat. "By the looks of it we're under disney town." Liexand said approaching a ladder. He looked up to find the ladder lead to a man hole cover. He climbed up first, shoving the cover of the man hole out of his way. He climbed out and then turned to help Lexa up. There was a large crowd gathered ahead of them and he could hear gun shots. Though instead of shreiks of terror the crowd was letting out shreiks of excitment. "Come on, let's go see what the hype's about." Liexand said waving Lexa along. "Stay close." He said pushing through the crowd. She nodded and followed close behind him. They neared the front of the crowd and the source of the gun shots. There at the shooting gallery was a woman with dark hair and a gun in both hands. A lone eyepatch covered her right eye. The crowd cheered as she performed tricks and hit the bullseye on each target. She spun the guns and shoved them into two men that were standing next to the booth. "Here you go boys. Think you can handle guns this big?" She said with a chuckle as she walked away. She exited the crowd to find two black clad figures waiting for her. She looked at them both and smiled. "Sorry. No autographs." She began to walk away, but Liexand stopped her with a hand on her shoulder. "We're not here for an autograph. We're here to ask for your help." He said staring her in the eye. "Help? With what?" She asked brushing his hand off her shoulder. "We're nobodies like you and we're on a mission to find an artifact that can get our hearts back." He said motioning towards Lexa who waved sheepishly. "Hmm. What's in it for me?" She asked crossing her arms. "I just told you that you'd get your heart back!" Liexand said, not even noticing the strange looks they were getting from people around them. "Hmmm. I guess I'll help you. I've always wanted to go on an adventure! The name's Xandra" She said slapping him on the back. "Great. Follow us." He formed a portal and lead the two girls through the darkness.

Leanex sat on the ground infront of the palm tree in Destiny Islands. Her sitar laid on her lap and she had a sheet of paper infront of her with a rock placed on it to keep it in place, incase the wind tried to blow it away. She strummed a few chords and made a nice tune. She then stopped and looked back at the paper to see what the next part of the song was. "What are you playing?" A female voice asked from behind her. Leanex yelped and jumped up from her seat. She turned around quickly to see who the person was. A young girl with dirty blonde hair was leaning over the tree, looking at her with a slight smile on her face. Her eyes were a deep blue that reminded her of the ocean. "Jeez don't scare me like that!" Leanex yelled. The girl chuckled and stood up straight. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you I just wanted to know what you were playing." She said. Her voice was light and full of happyness. She looked the girl over once more. Her hair was pulled back in a messy pony tail and she wore a long sleeved red shirt that cut off across her chest with black pants that came just above her knees. "So what were you playing?" She asked again. Leanex looked at her for a moment then finally answered. "A song I wrote." The girl nodded. "It was pretty. By the way what's your name?" Leanex dismissed her sitar then picked up the paper that she had left on the ground. "I'm Leanex. And you are?" "Alix." Leanex nodded. "That's a pretty name." Alix nodded and looked off at the sunset. "Hey do you know why the sun sets red?" She asked suddenly. Leanex looked at her puzzled for a moment. "No. Why?" She said. "You see, light is made up of lots of different colors. And out of all of those colors, red is the color that travels the farthest." She said. Leanex nodded and thought over that for a moment. She remembered Liexand telling her something like that now. She looked over at the girl once more. Then it clicked for her. "Hey do you wanna come with me and join this group? We'd love to have you there." Leanex said. Alix looked at her, confused for a moment. A smile then crossed her face. "Sure why not!" She said. Leanex smiled at her. "Wonderful! Come on I'll bring you to meet everyone now!" She said. Leanex then opened a portal and Alix followed her through it.

Nexus exited a portal, not sure of where he ended up. He looked around, before walking off in a random direction. "I guess I need to start bringing a partner with me when I travel." He said looking around trying to sense any nearby plants. Sadly there didn't seem to be any nearby. He continued on until the sound of heavy foot steps echoed through the area. All he could tell was that someone was running in his direction. He held out his hands and two scythes appeared in each hand. He stood in a battle ready stance, with a scythe on one shoulder and the other ready to slash an unsuspecting enemy at a moments notice. The sound became louder and he looked around worried that he might be surrounded. Suddenly something ran into him. A girl with long blonde hair that was like the golden sun hung down over her shoulders and a pair of goggles held up her bangs keeping them out of her eyes. A beaker flew through the air before dropping back to the ground. The girl dove and caught the beaker inches before it shattered against the floor. She let out a sigh before standing to her feet. "Are you ok?" Nexus asked approaching the girl. "Do you have any idea what you could've done?" The girl yelled holding her face inches from his. "Um no. I'm afraid I don't." He rubbing the back of his neck after dismissing his scythes. "This is a highly explosive concoction! Had this set off we all would be scattered around the ground in little tiny bits!" She shoved the beaker in his face. Nexus attempted to push the beaker from his face but the girl quickly pulled it back and out of his reach. "DO NOT TOUCH! This is an extremely explosive liquid! Do you want to kill us all!" She shouted examaining the beaker. "Maybe if I froze it...It would nullify the explosive untill it thawed back out!" She said breathing onto the beaker freezing it. Though he couldn't see, Nexus, knew she had just used some strange power to freeze her explosive. "Excuse me, but would you like to join the organization I'm in? My superior would be very pleased to have someone with powers such as yours on his side." Nexus waved a hand and opened a portal. "Hmm. Should I? My lab here is pretty nice. Though with technology nowadays I could easily get better equipment. Though do I really have the munny for that? Hmm, maybe this superior of his will fund it. What if he doesn't though? Should I stay anyways? Oh I can just get new equipment myself I don't need to mooch off them." The girl was talking to herself, tapping a finger against her chin. "OK! I'll join! As long as I can bring my lab equipment!" She said waving a finger at him. Nexus smiled and motioned towards the portal. "Shall we then?" He said leading her back to their HQ.

Liexand began flipping through the pages of a large book that he had found on the top shelf of a bookcase. He and Leanex had explored multiple worlds in search of information on the Shattered Heart. So far they had no luck in they're search. Liexand had left Lexa, Nexus, Lexi, and Xandra at the library in the Hollow Bastion. Meanwhile Leanex and Alix accompanied him to Beast's Castle to search there. Silence was definitely important, so the beast or any of his servants couldn't find them. He placed the book back on the shelf and then reached for another. As he pulled it out he noticed that there was there was someone standing on the other side of the bookshelf. They weren't wearing the black cloak like his companions and they weren't from the castle. He tip-toed around the book shelf and tried to approach the boy. He was reading a book so he didn't notice Liexand at first until he tapped the boy on the shoulder. The boy jumped and bumped into the book shelf almost knocking it over. "W-who are you? How did you get in here?" He stuttered staring at Liexand with a shocked expression. "Probably the same way you did." He answered. Soon the boy faded away to nothing. Liexand looked around trying to spot him. He ran out of the aisle of shelves and spotted him running away. "Leanex! Alix! Stop him!" He shouted running after him. Out of no where Leanex landed in front of the boy, with her sitar in hand. "You ready for the show of your life?" She asked strumming the sitar summoning the music notes of water. The boy looked around and spotted Alix just in time to get hit in the face by her keyblade. He fell on his butt, dazed. Liexand ran up to them and doubled over panting. "Good job girls." He said giving them a thumbs up of approval. "Now you. You must be Zexion's memories." Liexand said as he fixed his coat. "Gee what made you think that?" The boy asked sarcastically as he rubbed his forehead. "Heh, we're nobodies like you. Created from the memories of the Organization XIII." Liexand said helping the young man up. "We're trying to find a special keyblade while also rebuilding The Organization XIII." The boy looked at him and smiled. "You want me to join I take it?" He asked brushing his hair from his face. "That's right." Liexand said with a smile. "My name is Xenos." He said shaking Liexand's hand. "I'm Liexand. That's Leanex and that's Alix." He said motioning to the two girls. "Shall we?" Xenos said before Liexand formed their exit from the library.

IX (a.k.a XLII)

A dark portal opened up at the entrance of The Castle That Never Was. Liexand stepped through first, followed by the rest of the new Organization XIII. "This is it. Our new home." Liexand said spreading his arms wide to embrace the scene. He could hear the whispers of exclamations coming from the other members behind him. The group entered the castle, exploring it's long winding halls. "I guess you can all split up and look around." Liexand said, turning to face the group. To his surprise, the member's had already left him alone, except for Alix, who greeted him with a smile and a wave. "Right. Wanna come with me Alix?" He asked with a slightly annoyed, yet calm tone. "Of course!." She said, joining him at his side as they continued through the hall. "This place is kinda creepy." Alix said, clinging to Liexand's arm, while her eyes shifted around to spot any hidden foes. "Don't worry. There's nothing here that can hurt us." Liexand said, smiling down at her. They rounded a corner and spotted someone in the hall. Long black hair hung down over his shoulders and he wore a black coat just like the one Liexand and Alix were currently wearing. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The stranger said, his deep voice echoing through the halls. Alix clinged tighter to Liexand's arm. "I'm Liexand and this is Alix. We came here with our friends to live here at the castle. We're nobodies." Liexand said taking a step towards him. The stranger looked at them curiously with a smirk on his face. "There's great power stored within you two. You must be comprised of the memories of the Organization XIII. I too am made up of the memories of a past member. My name is Lorix and I would be happy to join your new organization." He said with a slight bow. Liexand smiled as Alix's grip on his arm loosened. "Great! New members are always welcome!" Liexand said enthusiastically. "I have a single request however." Lorix said looking up at the two nobodies. "I ask that you refer to me as 42 instead of the regular number I'd have been assigned." Liexand stared at Lorix, confused by this request. He looked over at Alix then back at Lorix. "Um...I guess that would be alright." Liexand said with a nervous chuckle. "I thank you for your understanding. I shall serve you till my last breath." Lorix said, bowing once again.

Liexand, Nexus, and the newest member Lorix exited a portal to find themselves on the docks of a small port. "Well this is an odd world indeed." Liexand said looking around the area. "There seems to be a bar up ahead. We could see if anyone there has any information on our item in question." Lorix said pointing to a small wooden building. Shouts and laughter resonated from the building while dim lights filled the windows. The three walked up and entered the bar which was filled with all sorts of commotion. Liexand dodged a rum bottle that whizzed past his approached the bar with Lorix at the front to shove any hooligans out of their way. "What can I get ya?" The bartender asked in a rough voice. "We're looking for information on the Shattered Heart!" Liexand shouted over the noise. The bartender shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. Liexand grimaced and turned to face the crowd. He looked over in the corner to find Nexus playing cards with a man at a table. The man had platinum blonde hair that was cut short and brushed out of his face. Liexand approached the table with Lorix to see what was going on. He looked over at Nexus who was holding a hand of cards that were facing backwards, so the stranger could see his hand. "Mmmm, quite the poker face you have there ducky. You're like a cast iron chest." He said shuffling through the deck to place all four ace's in his hand. He took a swig of his rum and paused to look at Liexand and Lorix who were now glaring at him angrily. The man took another quick drink of his rum and cleared his throat. "Well it seems I have to be goin now. I'd love to stay and play another round, but it seems it's getting quite late." He said calmly standing from his seat. Lorix stepped forward and shoved him back down into this wooden chair. "How much?" Liexand asked still glaring at the man. "I have no idea what you're talking about." the man said looking away. "How much did you take from him?" He said getting close to the man's face, while Lorix growled at him. "I-it was just a couple hundred munny! Nothing much!" He said with a nervous chuckle. Lorix got close and sniffed at the man. "He smells like rum and piss, but he's definitely a nobody. Judging by his card skills he's probably Luxord's memories." Lorix said standing straight to loom over the man. "Tell me. Would you happen to know anything about a keyblade called the Shattered Heart?" Liexand asked still glaring angrily at the man. "No! I don't know anything! I'm just a weary traveler." He said with a nervous grin. "How would you like to join our organization and help us find it then? Meanwhile you can pay off triple the money you took from Nexus." Liexand said with a satisfied grin. "I know! How about a game of cards? If I win I go free and if you win I'll join your orgy!" He said skillfully shuffling the deck of cards. Suddenly Lorix summoned a large claymore and cleaved the table in half. "I'm tired of your games!" He yelled at the man, who was now cowering in his chair. "You will do as the superior says!" The man grabbed Liexand's hand and shook it vigorously. "The name's Dax! Pleasure to work with you." He said, staring over at Lorix, frightened.

XI & XII

Liexand and Alix exited the portal to find themselves standing in front of a large coliseum. They walked through the large marble doors and into the lobby. They looked over at various trophies that lined each wall. "Hey! What are you two doing here!" A mysterious voice shouted at them from behind. They turned around to find a half-man half-goat thing standing infront of them. "So how can I help you two? You joining the games or what?" He asked eyeing the two. Liexand thought for a minute. 'It would be nice to do some sparring. I could use the exercise anyways.' "Sure! What's your toughest match?" Liexand asked, a hint of cockiness in his tone. "Whoa-ho-ho. We got ourselves a tough guy here. Trying to impress your girlfriend here?" He said waving a hand at Alix while walking over to the door to the arena. "No! She's not my girlfriend! I just want a real challenge!" Liexand shouted defensively. "Ok ok hold your horses. You'll be taking on a couple of veterans. Real fighters, but let me tell ya kid. This ain't gonna be no easy fight." Liexand just smirked. "This'll be a piece of cake." He said entering the arena. Alix was sitting on the stands watching Liexand as he stepped into the arena facing two large men. The man on the right had short brown hair and wielded a large tomahawk. The man next to him was slightly shorter, with short black hair and carrying two large spears while four more circled around him. Liexand grinned, happy that he had stumbled upon the memories of Lexaeus and Xaldin. "Ha! You think you'll be enough to take us on punk!" The brown haired one shouted. "I am Xavier! This is my brother Raxon! Together we shall crush you till you are no more!" Liexand just continued to grin. "My name is Liexand...Got it memorized?" Just then two circles of flames formed in Liexands hands and became chakrams. He got into a battle stance, as did the two brothers. The brother Raxon jumped towards Liexand, thrusting his spear straight towards his throat. Liexand deflects the blade with a chakram and slashed at Raxon with the other. A long cut formed across Raxon's chest and a small trickle of blood could be seen. "Careful now. I'm more dangerous than you think." Liexand said, as he spun both chakrams in his hands and threw them towards Raxon. A warcry came from above him and Liexand dodged in time to not get crushed to oblivion by Xavier's tomahawk. He caught his chakrams and leapt into the air, throwing one straight for Xaviers head. The large man blocked the chakram with his tomahawk. He had lost sight of Liexand who was now blocking spear strikes from Raxon. Each thrust grazed Liexand's face and arms. He kicked Raxon in the stomach sending him stumbling back, before focusing back on Xavier. He ran towards the brother and dodged a swing of his tomahawk, by sliding between his legs. The man turned around, but Liexand was gone. He looked up just in time to see Liexand coming down at him from the air. "BURN!" Liexand yelled, his chakrams cloaking themselves in fire and growing to the size of cart wheels. He slammed the two giant chakrams into the man crushing him down into the ground while burning him at the same time. The chakrams returned to their normal size and the flames disappeared. Something was changing about Liexand now, however. He was feeling more violent and heated then his regular fights made him. There was something about it now. The adrenaline was being fueled not by excitment, but by a secluded rage. "BROTHER!" Raxon yelled charging at Liexand. Without even turning to face the man, Liexand held up his hand and snapped his fingers, instantly ingniting Raxon in flames. Raxon fell to the ground only wounded. "Heh that was a sad display. Maybe you'll actually pose a threat next time." Liexand said exiting the arena with Alix close behind him. "That was amazing Liexand! You were all like 'SMASH BOOM FIRE!' It was so~ cool!" Alix continued to praise him till a voice interrupted her. "Wait!" The voice called after them. Liexand and Alix turned to find Raxon approaching them, while carrying Xavier with him. "My brother and I haven't faced an opponent of your strength in a long time. We wish to join you." Liexand smiled at them happily. "Of course. I could always use friends as strong as you to help me on my mission." Raxon and Xavier nodded at each other in approval before following Liexand and Alix into a portal.

XIII

Liexand was exploring the many halls of The Castle That Never Was, trying to figure out exactly how many rooms there were in the massive structure. As he turned a corner a dark portal formed in front of him. He stopped dead in his tracks anticipating who this mystery visitor could be. A tall man with silver hair stepped out of the portal. Liexand stared curiously at the stranger who was now approaching him with a grin. "Greetings! I am Vairenix. I've been going from world to world in search of nobodies like myself. Judging by your look I can tell that you must be a nobody yourself! Manifested from the memories of Axel I can see." Vairenix said, with a large grin. "How do you now that?" Liexand asked, taking a step back. "I know a lot about nobodies. I also know how to pinpoint exactly where you came from. I am the memories of Xemnas." He said still smiling. "Well I'm Liexand. I've also been hunting down nobodies like myself and asking them to join the new Organization XIII." He said with a nervous grin. "Wonderful! I would love to join your organization!" Vairenix said, grabbing Liexand's hand and shaking it. "Now! Why don't you introduce me to everyone else?" He said, throwing his arm around Liexand's shoulders and leading him back through the halls.

XIV

Lexa and Lexi exited a portal into Twilight Town. They were on an errand to pick up sea salt ice cream for the rest of the group. On they're way to the ice cream shop they noticed a young boy standing at the ice cream shop. He had light blonde hair with two strands that hung down in his face like antennae. The two girls approached the ice cream shop and ordered they're ice cream. The clerk handed all the ice cream to Lexa who passed it off on Lexi to carry. "Hi there." The boy greeted them. "Oh hello." Lexa greeted back. "My name's Raelix." He said, holding out his hand for her to shake it. Lexa reached out and grabbed the boys hand. A volt of electricity rushed from his hand into Lexa shocking her. She fell to the ground dazed. "Oh my gawd are you ok!" The boy said kneeling down next to her. "Hold these!" Lexi said, shoving the ice creams into the clerks hands. She quickly knelt down next to Lexa, examining her. "It seems she has come in contact with a high voltage source!" Lexi said, still studying Lexa. "I'm sorry. This is the 12th time today." Raelix said running a hand through his hair. "Let me see your hand! Wait! Nevermind!" Lexi said, not wanting to be shocked herself. "You! Come with me! But first! Grab those ice creams!" Lexi said, picking up Lexa by the arms and dragging her through a portal with Raelix close behind.
