The Destiny Of The Damned
Chapter 1: Joining Organisation XIII
(Past - Destiny Island)
"Roxy! Come and meet Kairi! She just moved here" Sora, my younger brother called. I ran over to the pier. A girl no older than Sora stood there her short red hair, gently blew in the wind. She was wearing a white vest top and a purple mini skirt.
"Hi, my name is Kairi" she smiled, extending her hand.
"Hello, my name is Roxy" I said, shaking her hand.
"And I'm Sora!" he said with intense enthusiasm. My little brother always made my smile, he was always so innocent.
"I'm five years old! And she's six!" he continued, pointing at me.
"I'm five as well" the red headed girl replied.
"And I'm Riku, I'm six years old" A familiar voice came from behind me, I turned to face Riku. His silver hair hung around his neck. He wore a yellow and black shirt and black trousers.
"I'm Kairi, nice to meet ya" Kairi smiled. Riku walked up to Sora and ruffled his chocolate brown spikes (That seem to defy gravity), Sora always hated it when Riku ruffled his hair.
"Riiiiiku! Stop iiit!" he whined, giving his infamous pout. Riku smiled triumphantly.
"Come on, Kairi. We'll introduce you to Tidus and Wakka" I said to Kairi while putting my arm around a pouting Sora…
(Present day - 10 years later - Twilight Town)
I woke up. It was another dream…but it wasn't just a dream it was one of my fondest memories. I miss everyone on Destiny Island, but everyone was separated after that storm. I checked the clock on my wall, it read 8:45am. Time to get up, I guess. I got up and walked to the bathroom where I took a quick shower, I went to the mirror and brushed my long, layered, chocolate brown hair, I rubbed my deep blue eyes as I began to brush my teeth. When I was finished I went back into my bed room to get dressed in my usual black t-shirt, red drainpipe (jeans), black and red fingerless gloves, long black leather coat that reached my ankles and my black converse . As I left my small house and I was greeted by someone unexpected.
"Why hello, Roxy" Seifer's annoying voice came from behind me.
"What do you want, Seifer? I have to go to work" I sighed
"I want you…" he smiled
"I have told you a thousand times before…I'm not joining your gang"
"I don't want that, how about you miss work and we can go to the beach…just you and me…" he purred. A shiver ran down my spine.
"That's very touching, really. But Marluxia would kill me for missing work" I replied. His smile faded, it was replaced with curious look.
"How comes?" He asked curiously.
"Instead of sorting out paper work I was writing songs" I replied
"That's cool!" He smiled
"I would love to hear them sometime, how about it?" He continued.
"Yeah, sure…" I replied. He nodded and began to walk away.
"You should get going…or you are going to be late" He said walking away.
"You're right! Thanks!" I said running towards the city central.
"No problem" Seifer called after me.
When I got outside the office, I stood there shocked to see the place had been burned down. There was a crowd looking at the damage.
"What happened?" I said to myself, some one must have heard me.
"I Burned it down" A voice came from behind me. I turned around to see a man not much older than myself, he had bright red, spiky hair, the most stunning emerald green eyes with two black lines under them and he was dressed in a black robe.
"Who the hell are you and why did you burn down my work place?!" I growled, this has officially pissed me off.
"Fiery woman aren't you? I love fire. The name's Axel, got it memorized?" He smirked.
"Cocky bastard aren't you? My name is Roxy by the way" I smirked.
"But you still haven't answered my question" I continued.
"And what would that be, my little flame?" He flirted.
"Cute" I rolled my eyes "My question was why did you burn down my work place?"
"Because it was my orders, I have to follow them. Ansem, our leader ordered me to defeat Marluxia. The building burning down was me getting a little carried away"
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because my other orders were to bring you to the mansion"
"What?!"
"Now, there are two ways we can do this. One, you come with me. Two, I can knock you out and bring you there…And quite honestly I don't want to hurt you"
"Why explain all this to me? Why didn't you just knock me out?"
"Honestly, I don't know…all I know is that I like your attitude" Axel answered, looking away. I could have ran away by now, but I didn't want to…why? Axel looked at me.
"You didn't run away?" He asked, quite puzzled.
"Yeah…Listen, I thought about your orders…and I will go with you" I said looking at the burned down ruins of my work place. I looked back to Axel, who had a look of total confusion on his face.
"What?" I asked innocently
"It's just most people would freak out, I'm pretty much abducting you and you're fine with it…in fact you're willingly coming with me! Why?" He was obviously trying to make sense of my willingness.
"I don't know, but I feel I can trust you…I can't really explain it" I explained. He looked at me in complete and utter shock.
"Sorry…" I said turning away. Axel gently placed his hands on my shoulders and made me turn to face him.
"There is absolutely nothing to be sorry about. I'm sorry that I gave you that look. It's just that you're the first person to trust me completely trust me, since Roxas…" Now it was my turn to look shocked.
"Y-you know Roxas?!"
"Yeah, he used to be my best friend. Why? Do you know him?"
"He was the nobody of my little brother!"
"Wait, you're Sora's sister?!"
"Yes!"
"Does that mean you were also chosen by the keyblade?"
"I was chosen way before Sora was"
"So that's why I was sent to bring you to the mansion! We need to go now!" Axel said grabbing my arm. He led me to a huge mansion. We were outside the mansion when suddenly twenty dusks appeared.
"Why are they attacking us?!" Axel asked himself. I instinctively extended my arms and two black keyblades appeared in both of them, Axel looked shocked.
"T-two keyblades?! And they're both black!" he cried. I smiled at him. In a few swift movements all of the dusks were defeated. Axel still had a shocked look on his face, I made the keyblades disappear. I took his gloved hand and gazed into his emerald eyes.
"Come on, lets go inside" I said pulling him slightly towards the door.
"I have an easier way of getting inside…" He put his arm around me and waved his other hand, suddenly we were engulfed in darkness. I couldn't see anything, then suddenly we appeared in a large white room that was draped in shadows. In front of me was thirteen chairs, all at different heights. Eleven of them was occupied by people, they were dressed in black hooded robes that looked like Axel's robe. One of the people on the chairs disappeared and then reappeared in front of me and Axel, he removed his hood to reveal his face. It was a man and he had tanned skin, silver hair and orangey yellow eyes.
"Sorry about the attack, Axel. But I needed to see if the girl really was chosen by the keyblade" The man apologized, Axel nodded.
"Xemnas…" I murmured, Axel and Xemnas both looked at me in shock.
"H-how do you know my name?" Xemnas asked.
"Oh, I know all about you and organisation XIII" I smirked, he just looked at me. I laughed.
"Xemnas, you are the first member and leader of the organisation. Xigbar, you are the second member. Xaldin, you are the third member. Vexen, you are the fourth member. Lexaeus, you are the fifth member. Zexion, you are the sixth member. Saïx, you are the seventh member. Axel, you are the eighth member. Demyx, you are the ninth member. Luxord, you are the tenth member. Marluxia, I see that you are alive…you are the eleventh member. Larxene, you are the only girl here and the twelfth member. And Roxas would be the thirteenth member. But he left and completed my little brother Sora, so now there is no thirteenth member correct?" I said pointing to each person as I said there name. Xemnas looked at me.
"How do you know that?!" he yelled at me.
"How do you think Sora knew so much about you? Leon? He wouldn't leave his home town! Sora couldn't find out anything so he asked me…" I smirked.
"I only knew so much because Roxas told me" I continued.
"But we erased his memory" Xemnas cried, I could see I was making him uneasy.
"Yes, but he remembered pretty much everything through his dreams…because he was a part of Sora, that meant he was my brother as well…he told me everything" I said in a bored tone.
"If that is all, I will be leaving" I continued. I felt Axel grab my hand as I was about to leave.
"Please stay, just for a little while longer" He pleaded, I turned to face him.
"I need to return, besides there really is no reason for me to stay" I replied in a loving voice.
"Be there is" Xemnas' voice interrupted.
"What would that be?"
"The reason why you were chosen, the reason why you came here, the reason why your keyblades are black…surely you must be curious"
"…" I looked away, I had been curious. He had me there.
"You are curious aren't you? You do want to know the truth. Well if you help us, we will tell you everything you want to know" Xemnas smirked.
"No, I'm going"
"I'm afraid I can't do that, you see we need you and you have no choice in the matter"
"What?!" suddenly two hundred dusks surrounded me, I extended my arms and the two familiar keyblades appeared in each hand. I jumped into the crowd of dusks, slicing through each one as if it were made of paper. Xemnas looked at me like I was some sort of marvel. Within a matter of minutes all two hundred dusks fell. I pointed one of my keyblades at Xemnas.
"I'm ready for round two, are you?" I taunted, he looked completely shaken.
"Not even Sora could defeat that many in that amount of time…single handed!" He cried.
"I'm not Sora! My name is Roxy, I am sixteen years old and I'm am A LOT stronger than my little brother!" I cried, I looked over to where Axel he was smiling at me.
"Roxy, I want you to join the organisation" Xemnas said, holding out his hand. How could I join? I'm not a nobody.
"But you are all nobodies, I am whole" I said, lowering my keyblade. I sensed a dusk creep up behind me. I turned around quickly, slicing through the dusk as I went.
"It doesn't matter, we need you to become whole ourselves. That's all we want…to be whole, don't we have a right to be a proper person?" Xemnas asked. He does have a point…maybe I should help…
"How do I know I can trust you?" I asked, I saw Axel grinning.
"We wouldn't lie to you…we just want to be a real person…"
"I have contemplated your offer…I accept, but if I detect any signs of anything what I think is wrong…I'll leave" A dusk appeared to my side, I sliced through it effortlessly.
"And I swear to friggin' god if you don't call off these friggin' dusks I will wipe out the whole organisation right here, right now!"
