This work contains major spoilers for Kingdom Hearts 2, so don't say I didn't warn you.
This fanfiction is about how the Organization XIII members were recruited. Their stories begin right when the become nobodies to when they are accepted in the Organization. In Kingdom Hearts 2, how the first six members (including the Superior) joined the Organization is described, along with how nobodies are created and such.
I don't know if I should go in order. If I go from 1-13, you'll know who and how the Superior was created. If I go from 13 to 1, I'll be describing Roxas in detail, which would lead to more surprises . . .
Hmmm…
I think I'll start with…
No. XIII – RoxasEverything was shrouded in the purplish dark. He felt tired and idle all over. He didn't want to wake up from his sleep, as if the only safe place was within the darkness of his rest that lasted for he didn't know how long.
He was conscious however, far away from feeling drowsy.
He opened his eyes to an afternoon sky. Immediately, the sun irritated his eyes. He sat up on the concrete and rubbed his eyes.
After getting the sleep out, he surveyed his surroundings with an abnormal sense of curiosity. Three brick walls, two on either side and one behind him. This was an alley, he concluded. Moss was growing in the corners, and there was a creature called a ladybug crawling on it.
He stared at the bug for quite a while before he finally got up and walked out the alley. It was such an interesting little thing.
Out in the open, olden buildings built beside each other surrounded the large circular area he was in. Above these buildings, he could see more rising up as a hill. One building stood out the most, and it was this that drew his attention even more because it made a sound. It was a tall clock tower with a giant bell on either side of the clock and smaller bells above and below them.
Everything had somewhat of an orange hue, even the roads. Looking up at the sky, he decided that this time of day was dawn or dusk. Either way, it was twilight.
He wondered around the burg that seemed to be stuck between day and night, discovering things such as a tram, a waterfall, more plants, and plumbing pipes. While exploring, he found out that there were people around. He didn't talk to them nor did they seem to show him any interest, but he noticed how they all had different colored patterns on their bodies. These were clothes. He checked to see if he had them too.
He wore some dark colored shoes with red laces, white and black pants, a black zipped up shirt with a white coat, a checkered black and white bracelet, and two bands on two of his fingers, white and black.
He didn't know where he got his clothes from, but yet he enjoyed the fact that he looked unique compared to everyone else's different colors. He continued on his path of discovery.
He found himself in another alley, but it was only two walls this time and he could see the sun on the other end. He started to go down it.
"Yo! Roxas! Where you goin'?" called a man behind him.
He stopped. Judging from the man's tone, Roxas was a name. He didn't know any Roxas. He didn't know anybody. He turned around.
The man's red hair reminded him of heat, such as the heat he felt from the sun. Think of that, he had no idea how the man could be walking around with a black coat. Looking at his arms, the man was skinny.
"Wow Roxas," said the man again. He was relieved over something and had his hand on his forehead, laughing. "Twilight Town was the last place I'd expect to find you!"
He stared at the red-haired man, having no idea who he was. He decided to speak to him.
"Who's Roxas?" he said. The red-haired man placed his hands akimbo.
"Why you're Roxas."
"I'm Roxas?"
"Yeah."
"So who're you?"
"I'm Axel."
'Roxas' thought for a moment. 'Axel' called him 'Roxas'. That was the name 'Axel' gave to him, or rather, called him. So therefore, the name 'Axel' is what he should call this red-haired man. This was interesting.
Roxas was about to ask Axel about names, but Axel interrupted him.
"Ehh don't worry. I know exactly how you feel right now…I think." Axel grinned.
Seeing Axel smile made Roxas wanted to smile as well. He curved his mouth and made a smile. It made him feel uplifted somehow.
"Ahh emotion. Peculiar at this point, but hey! It's better than having some sad guy coming with me."
Roxas laughed at Axel's statement. This outburst of sounds coming from him couldn't be controlled, but yet they made him think of joy, another concept he just found out about and didn't understand. Absentmindedly, he caught an object that Axel threw at him.
"It's a Popsicle. You should try it. I still enjoy them," said Axel. "Eat it on the way."
Roxas held the Popsicle by the stick and licked the blue blocky part. It was cold, but it tasted good. He watched Axel materialize a strange purple portal out of the very air.
"Come on Roxas, you gotta get your coat." With that, Axel walked in the vortex and vanished in it. Roxas, glad that someone talked to him and figured Axel was a neat person to talk to, finished his Popsicle and threw the stick to the ground and stepped into the portal.
