The Oracle's Apprentice:
Prologue-Xemnas's AwakeningXemnas's POV
'How could I lose? Me, the great leader of Organization XIII, the most powerful Nobody ever, how could I lose to those two little BRATS?!?!?!?!? And how can I still think? I'm dead, I've faded away, I'm gone, less than anything I've ever been, and all because of that stupid key blade bearer! The hate that I feel towards him can even penetrate my heartless body. I will get revenge on him, somehow.... someday... he will regret that he ever crossed paths with me. But first, I have to find a way to get out of here, wherever "here" is. There's darkness, endless darkness. Is this the end? Have I actually truly been defeated? After all of my efforts to gain hearts for me and my followers, was it all in vain? How could we, us NOTHINGS, become even more of nothing than we already were? How is that even possible?
'*Sigh* I have all of these questions, but none of them are going to be answered... Is this really the end that all Nobodies face? Endless questions, no answers, its torture... What did we do, that was so miserably horrible, that we deserve this kind of punishment? We can't help it that we were born, that we were turned into Heartless in our past life... I guess that life really isn't fair, and the people who want to live in it just have to deal with that. Why do some people get all the good things? They're not heartless, they aren't corrupt, heartbroken, or hate filled. They aren't Nobodies, crippled, and don't have a worry in the world. Who the hell makes these decisions?!?!? It makes me so furious! Who thinks that he's just so great that he can decide the fate of all other creatures? WHO HAS THAT KIND OF POWER?!?!?!?!?.... And if he can do all that, then he should be able to give us hearts... feelings.... the ability to feel pain, hurt, sorrow, love, happiness, joy, ecstasy... Would he do that for us? Maybe, but first I have to get out of here, but I'm only thoughts, I have no body.... I now truly am nothing... nothing....
'...Wait a second... I can feel my body; I can twitch my fingers, and feel the hard ground under me! Maybe not all hope is lost; we can come back, defeat Sora, gain hearts, and rule with power and glory! ...But first, I must find my comrades... This place is getting clearer, I can almost open my eyes, and I can stand up... If I open them, will I regret it? No matter, I can't let the work of my life be ended so quickly and mercilessly, I must rise again, this time ten times as powerful, and I WILL acquire a heart! No matter what it takes, this time I won't fail!'
With those thoughts, I opened my eyes to a swirling deep, purplish darkness. I turned around in a circle, absolutely lost, until I saw a bluish white light. I squinted trying to make out what it was, or who it belonged to. But it was useless. I decided to investigate. I made my way through the swirling oblivion, my mind still feeling disturbed. When I reached the light, it turned out to be some kind of a portal of light. I stuck my head through it, curious to what lay past this strange place. What I saw was more surprising than anything that could ever have happened to me.
I saw my whole life playing at different speeds and different times. Just floating about in a silver mist. I saw one that especially intriguing, it was me, or someone who looked like me, screaming, and being enveloped by darkness, and then being demolished by the key blade bearer. It was the last memory of my heartless... had I truly been beaten twice? By the same little brat? Rage started rising inside me, that's why I didn't notice the silver mist clumping together to form some kind of a ghoulish shape. The ghost like thing charged at me, it's shapeless body more frightening than it should have been. I yelled out in surprise and stumbled back and tried to block "it" from my face with my hands. My legs took me backwards, away from the portal, and the next thing I knew, I was enveloped by a white light and falling backwards, flying through the air.
I shut my eyes tightly bracing myself for the pain surely to follow. I hit the ground hard on my butt. It turned out that I'd only fallen about five feet, not enough to truly injure me, but I was still a bit shaken up and confused when I stood up. Where was I? This new place was a glowing white, reminding me of Castle Oblivion, but this seemed more blank, and... unreal... I looked back to where I had come from, the portal that I had fallen through, but I was already closing, and disappeared in a few seconds. 'Well I'm not getting out that way....'
I sighed, closed my eyes, furrowed my eyebrows, and rubbed my temple. This was turning out be more than I could take after fading away... to where? "Yo, Xemnas!"....
