Jexak Awoke to find himself in another town.
"I hate travelling" He said. "Well, at least it's daytime…" He began to walk around, taking in the landmarks. "A mansion and a clock tower…" He observed, heading toward the former. On the way he noted that here too was desolate of all life. He sighed. "Am I doomed to walk forever alone?" He felt somewhat afraid-a feeling he'd never felt before, even when…..He couldn't remember. He tried to write his name…But what was it? Then he saw what he had written. IONA. He broke into tears. He was so full of sadness and guilt that he never noticed someone walk up to him. He quit sobbing, and the person handed him a tissue. It was a girl with black hair, wearing a cloak like him.
"I'm Xion. Never seen you at the castle, cutie..." She giggled
"Umm…I don't remember my name." Jexak replied.
"Oh, that's normal. The superior will give you a new one."
"Who?" But before he could continue, Xion Grabbed his hand and led him closer to the mansion.
The grounds were a shade of Verdant green and well-trimmed, but the mansion itself was another story. Ivy held the crumbling wall at siege, while dust patrolled the windows and rust attacked the drains. The doors were in immaculate condition, however. There was another cloaked person waiting at the rusty gate, with silver hair and orange eyes. Jexak tried to pull away. "Noo! That's Ansem!" He cried, but the man only chuckled.
"I am Xemnas, Overlord of the Organisation XIII!" Jexak quickly put two and two together.
"Pfft." He said in barely restrained laughter. "Mansex!" Xemnas gave him a look like 'I will kill you'
Xion clapped in delight. "I think that makes a new record!" She said smiling. Xemnas rolled his eyes and bade Jexak to step forth. The letters J-A-K-E appeared before him. Jexak recognised them as his own. Then they jumbled about to form Jexak.
"There, you will now be known as Jexak. I will notify the others in due time. You are number XIV, and so you will follow me." Xemnas ordered, ushering them all into the castle. He slapped Xion on the head. "If you laugh like that again…." He began.
Jexak was the first to enter. He was astonished. Even as a wreck, one could see the sophistication and Architectural genius. He was flabbergasted. "Whoa.." He said.
"Yeah I get that a lot." Xemnas replied, entering the library. He pushed a book, and the shelf slid across to reveal a keypad. Xemnas typed in the code, and the bookcase rumbled into a slot in the floor-revealing a basement.
"Number XIII-2, you know how this works, right?" He said. "I'm off." He opened a portal and stepped through.
Xion saw Jexak was about to speak, and issue silence. "There will be plenty of time for questions.." She reassured him, and skipped into the basement. "Since you're a first timer, you cant use the portals like we can." She warbled "You need to go to a location first. This device will transport you to the castle." She pressed a button and a force field enveloped Jexak. A whirring sound was heard, and everything went black. "Must be their favourite colour." He sighed. He still had a million questions, and only one answer. I'M DEAD.
