Chapter 1
New Story, Old Problems.
Daxjra is gone.
I swung.
It's all my fault.
I slashed.
I let it happen.
I struck.
Daxjra is going to die because of me.
I yelled and tore apart the tree I was practicing on with my Keyblade, the Infinity Keyblade.
"Jason, get a hold of yourself," Marco pleaded behind me.
"Stay outta this!" I yelled angrily.
"What are you accomplishing beating yourself up over Daxjra? You should be thinking of a way to save him," Marco said.
"Easier said than done. Other than the dark corridors, there's no other easy way to travel between worlds," I sighed.
"Well, it's better than this! And what about that key chain? I'm pretty sure you could do something with that,"
I looked at the key chain I won during my battle with the Queen. Though I knew it might help, I couldn't stand to use it. It reminded me of what I'd lost.
"I can't,"
"Shut up Jason. All you've been doing to fix this is destroy nature and complain about your lack of hope! If it were me, I'd have found a way already," Marco said.
"..."
"Do you want Daxjra to die?"
"...No,"
"Then you're going to have to think of something, because Daxjra will die unless you can,"
"... You're right," I said finally.
"Yeah, so let's organize something,"
"Like what?"
"Maybe invite Kate over?"
"Why?"
"Because you're crazy for her so it's your motivation,"
"How do you know me so well?"
"It didn't take Daxjra very long, and I've known you forever,"
"Fair enough,"
A while later, Kate came over.
"Listen guys, now that I know about it, I've started hearing things everywhere," she admitted.
"Like what?" Marco asked.
"Well, I heard a guy mentioning Keyblades, and I would have ignored him. Then he mentioned Infinity," she whispered.
"What! What else did he say?"
"I don't know. I trailed him, and he met up with a bunch of other guys. I think they know something,"
"Then show us where they met and we might have a lead,"
Marco shook his head. "I don't think this is a good idea, we might be walking in on something bigger than this,"
"Well right now, nothing is bigger than saving Daxjra," I said.
"Jason, what's with you? This Daxjra guy is all you think about now," Marco said
"And I'm supposed to turn a blind eye on a friend in trouble,"
"He's not your friend! He's part of the Organization,"
"He was part of the Organization,"
"What do you have to prove that? The superior? Daxjra could just be playing you,"
"If you won't help me save him, then get out,"
"Jason, just calm down," Kate pleaded.
"Jason, we're best friends! Don't throw that away just for this. You can turn away,"
"That's what this is! You're jealous! I can't believe you. This isn't some game, someone's life is in danger, and I can help them. The question really is, will you help me?" I said, extending my hand towards him.
He scowled "Then have fun playing hero," he snarled, slapping my hand away.
I looked at my palm. "Marco, don't do this,"
"Shut up. I'm done. Case closed. Just leave me alone,"
"But-"
I said leave me alone!" he shouted.
He stormed out leaving the door ajar.
"What just happened?" Kate asked.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that this is going to come back to bite me," I replied.
"He's your friend, just talk to him,"
"I tried that. He's jealous, I get it,"
"Are you sure that's the problem?"
I looked out the window.
"Show me the meeting place,"
"...Okay,"
Meanwhile...
I woke up with a shock, and was welcomed by nausea.
I resisted the urge to vomit and looked around.
White.
The entire room was white.
I was lying on a plain bed, with no sheets.
I was at The World that Never Was.
"What the hell happened?" I mutter.
The last thing I remember was the Queen.
Memories flooded my head, racking up my motion sickness. I remember using a spell to save Jason, then nothing.
So what happened?
I try to get up, and I end up sitting back down.
It felt like I had been punched in the stomach after drinking poison. I'm actually not sure what that feels like, but whatever.
I hear a door.
It's Lagaulixa.
"What happened?" I asked groggily.
"Orders were followed," he responded, emotionless.
"What does that mean?"
He didn't respond.
"Why am I back at the castle?"
"Orders must be kept,"
"Ugh, fine. Can I see the boss?"
"..."
"Are you doing this to piss me off, because it's working,"
"Daxjra, by order of the superior, you shall be executed for treason,"
"What month is it?"
"June,"
"Just great,"
"What?"
"Nothing, just let me rest,"
"I will see you later,"
"Probably not,"
What has happened to Marco? Will Daxjra be saved in time? Can Jason find a way to find Daxjra?
All to be revealed in Chapter 2, Worldly Ties.
