A Change of Fate
This is a Kingdom Hearts fanfic of the Roxas and Xion pairing. This is the story of a mysterious new comrade in Organization XIII, Number 15, Drexbann. He is the new fourth member of the Sea Salt Gang. Hopefully, Drexbann, Xion, Axel, and Roxas will all survive the onslaught of the future events. This takes place during 358/2 Days. This is for Rokushion fans so I won't go into details about explaining the characters.
Chapter 1: Number 15
Roxas wrote in his journal and noticed that today was day 85. He looked back at previous entries and smiled warmly when he noticed from a previous entry last week his best friend, Xion, got back the use of her keyblade. Roxas got up from his bed and put his journal on his nearby desk.
The spiky blond had just zipped up his black coat when he heard a knock on his door. He hoped it was Axel, his other best friend. But when he went to open the door he was disappointed to see a man with blue hair, golden eyes, and an X-shaped scar on his face, Saix.
"Roxas, the Superior has called a meeting in the Round Room; you must attend." Saix explained coldly.
Roxas sighed, "Alright I'll be right there" Then Roxas closed the door on Saix as he left.
"I hate meetings… I never understand what Xemnas is talking about." Roxas mumbled to himself.
Roxas then opened a dark corridor to the Round Room and he walked in it. The next moment he was in his tall white throne, along with the rest of the Organization members. He saw the spiky red head, Axel, and Xion, surprisingly in a throne one of the deceased members left vacant. Also, there was the rest of surviving Organization members: Saix, Xigbar, Luxord, Xaldin, Demyx, and finally the leader, Xemnas, towering in the highest throne above us all. He was about to speak.
"Good Tidings, Friends. I called you all here to announce, due to the… unfortunate losses in our numbers that we will welcome a new comrade to wear the coat…" Xemnas announced.
"Déjà vu." Roxas thought.
Everyone looked below them to see a man with the black hood up and surveying his new allies.
"… Number 15… Drexbann." Xemnas introduced.
Drexbann then revealed his face to the Nobodies above. He still looked like a kid, older than Roxas but younger than Axel. He had brown hair, styled and spiked up in front, brown eyes, and overall a nice enough looking guy. Drexbann then smiled.
"I will contribute my best to ensure our goal of achieving Kingdom Hearts." Drexbann spoke.
"Well said, Number 15. I trust that you will." Xemnas nodded. "That is all."
Xemnas teleported out of the room as did the other members, but not including Axel, Roxas, and Xion. They all jumped down to the platform to meet their new ally.
"Hey new guy, how's being a Nobody treating you?" Axel said nonchalantly.
"Oh… um… it's going?" Drexbann said, caught off-guard from the question.
"Allow me to introduce us, this is Axel, Roxas, and I'm Xion." Xion introduced them.
"Nice to meet you, you know my name, but I think I'd prefer Drex, for short." Said Drex.
"Ok, Drex. We just wanted to let you know that if you need anything just let us know." Roxas informed.
Xion said, "Yeah, I know what it's like to be the newbie here so don't be afraid to ask."
Drex smiled at this. They all seemed to be good friends; he wished he knew them in their Somebodys's lives. He then noticed they were all staring at him waiting for some response… awkward?
"Oh! Uhh… Thank you… very much for your kindness." Drex responded.
"Geez, you remind me of Roxas when HE was a zombie." Axel laughed.
"Hey! That's not funny!" Roxas complained.
"It sure is Roxas." Xion began to laugh at Roxas's whining.
Axel decided to go all out and impersonate a zombie and walk towards them saying, "I'm Roxas…" in a groaning fashion Then Drex and Roxas decided to join in on the laughs and after everyone calmed down. Roxas decided to ask something.
"Hey Drex, did you want to join us for some ice cream?" Roxas asked.
"Why not? I could use a treat for this kind of entertainment." Drex teased.
"What? Are you making fun of my impersonation of Roxas?" Axel accused and Roxas pouted at this.
"No, just making fun of your…hair! How is it like that?! Do you use three gallons of gel or what?" Drex teased and laughed.
The tables were turned and everyone was laughing at Axel's hair. Axel stood his ground though and simply responded as such.
"Only two gallons… but no one makes fun of my hair. Got it memorized?" Axel said.
"I guess I do." Drex happily said.
"Welcome to our fold Drex, but we have to make it official." Xion said smiling.
The four friends went into a dark corridor that Roxas made and they headed into it. They came out in Twilight Town, next to an ice cream shop.
Later, the four friends were on top of the clock tower and about to eat their ice creams. Looking at the clock tower from left to right sitting were Axel, Roxas, Xion, and Drex. They all watched as Drex tasted his first Sea-Salt Ice Cream.
"It's salty… but also sweet too." Drex said.
"That's what we all said." Roxas said with a chuckle.
The four of them all talked about random stuff about what happened that day until Xion asked a question that was on her mind.
"Drex, do you have any memories of when you were a Somebody?" asked Xion.
Axel and Roxas decided to listen as well as Drex was thinking of a way to explain his past.
"Well… I remember I had a pretty good life. I was good with computers, and had people who I cared about. But… I just… lost it all…" sighed Drex.
"Well what happened?" Roxas innocently asked.
"He doesn't have to tell us if he doesn't want to, Roxas" Axel said seriously.
"No, it's fine. Axel. I'll just put it in simple terms. …I just made a lot of bad decisions and… everything went dark…" Drex explained.
"The past is the past, Drex. I know what you mean… But remember the good times the most." Axel sympathized.
"Thanks Axel." Drex said as he finished his ice cream.
Roxas and Xion then looked down. Drex noticed this and asked what was up.
"Well, Xion and I don't really have memories before we were Nobodies. You and Axel are lucky..." said Roxas.
"Trust me kids, you don't need any of the extra baggage." Axel explained.
"I guess you're right." Xion quietly said.
"This sunset is magnificent…" Drex said in awe.
"It sure is…" Everyone agreed.
"You know what would be great?" Axel questioned.
"What?" They all asked.
"The next time we get a day off let's all go to this world's beach." Axel said smiling.
"That's a great idea Axel!" Roxas and Xion exclaimed. Drex simply smiled.
"Sounds like a plan." Drex said.
Drex suddenly noticed Xion out of the corner of his eye. She was staring intently at Roxas as he was talking to Axel about something. There was a slight pink tinge on her cheeks.
"She's blushing? I thought Nobodies didn't have hearts to feel with," thought Drex. "Should I ask her about?" Drex nudged Xion to get her attention.
"Xion?"
She jumped at this and landed her hand on Roxas which as soon as they touched she thought there was electricity going through them, but she let go after a few seconds and Roxas noticing this, and she blushed darker than she already was.
"Yeah?" She hid her face not looking directly into his eyes. Drex understood what was now going on and gave an evilish grin at her.
"Never mind." Drex said happily.
"Hey let's get back to the castle and get some sleep. We got work tomorrow unfortunately." Axel complained.
"We got to work tomorrow?" Drex asked.
"Tomorrow and every day… until we get a day off I guess." Roxas replied.
"We meet in the Grey Area every day to get our missions from Saix." Xion explained.
"Ok, let's go then."
They all got up and got back to The Castle That Never Was via dark corridor. They all said their goodnights and headed to their respective rooms.
In Roxas's room, he got ready for bed and waited for sleep to take him.
"Today was great, I don't know what was better: meeting Drex and him being our new friend or when Xion grabbed my hand…" He then quickly fell asleep.
How was it? This IS my first fanfic... This will stay in third person for now, and I recommend a second tab to play background battle theme music to provide atmosphere. This story WILL pick up, BUT I would like favs, reviews, and ideas to continue the story. Another chapter will be here in a bit. Happy Reading.
