Prologue – A conversation
Standing upon a large platform located inside The World That Never Was, a tall man in a black robe known as Xemnas stares alone at the dark sky. He was waiting for one of his comrades, a fellow Nobody in Organization XIII. Xemnas had been awaiting the man's arrival; he was the one that carried news about a secret chamber in Castle Oblivion. If what Xemnas had hoped was true, then maybe there was a slim chance for the survival of Organization XIII.
Finally, a portal of pure darkness appeared from behind him. Emerging from the portal was a blue haired man wearing a similar coat as his leader. There was an exclaiming scar on his forehead, reminding him of a violent past he once had. This man, too, was a Nobody. A Nobody was the remaining shell of a person who became a heartless. These shells have memories of who they were, but they lack a very important factor in order to live: A heart.
"Siax," Xemnas greeted, "do you have any news?"
"Number VIII is no more," The man answered, his face as hard as stone. "He deserved his fate if you ask me; he betrayed the Organization on more than one occasion. Kairi has also escaped her chambers."
Xemnas made no reaction to the news of Number VIII; he never cared for the safety of any of his fellow members. Most of his organization was now destroyed, thanks to the hand of the Keyblade master. He pretended to sigh and began to talk once more.
"And, what about the secret chamber at Castle Oblivion," Xemnas requested.
"Xemnas, we've searched every inch of the forsaken castle," Siax began with a grimace. "We've never found the proper location of Vexen's secret laboratory. Whatever hidden secrets are in there died with him."
Xemnas refused to respond to the sour news. There was a secret that only he and the late-Vexen had shared. Xemnas knew Vexen's capabilities were great, and he must have done his orders properly. He just didn't know whether or not the orders were completed. Xemnas began to face the large heart-shaped moon in the sky known as Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas raised his arms, almost as if he were worshiping the large heart.
"The Keyblade master is close," Xemnas spoke. "Our time is almost up."
"I will succeed where others have failed," Siax firmly said. "We still have two other members in the castle."
Siax exited through the same dark corridor that he had entered from. Xemnas continued to worship the place known as Kingdom Hearts.
"Oh Kingdom Hearts," He called out, "watch over the organization as we have watched over you. We have done as you wish. We wait for our hearts in order to become complete."
