Just because someone thinks that they don't have a heart doesn't mean they don't really have one.

Let me just say this right now. The details of what exactly happened before the events of what I'm about to tell you are still blurry. How I ended up in that place was the least of my worries. My real problem was that all I really remembered was that I had no memory whatsoever.

There was a huge pain running through my body. It felt as though I had fallen from an airplane and survived. I could barely move, but I could open my eyes. I was surrounded by rows and rows of giant dark skyscrapers with neon lights. I had no memory but I'm pretty sure most cities with skyscrapers have people in them. There were no people here though. Would I just end up lying down in the cold streets alone, waiting to die?

As I was lying on the ground waiting for my fate to befall me, two men in what looked like black coats walked around the corner. My vision was a little blurry so I couldn't see all that far. It might have been my last chance of salvation so I had to take it.

"Please…h-help me," it was pathetic, but it was all I could say.

The two figures were in no rush as they walked up to me. As they came closer, I noticed one of them was holding a book. The other had spiky red hair that I was surprised I hadn't notice earlier. I must have really been messed up.

"It appears you were right Axel, it is a person," said the man, still reading his book.

"Yeah, I know. I told you that but what are we gonna do about him?" remarked the red haired guy.

"I suppose you're right. We can't just leave him here, but how do we know if he is like us? I don't think Xemnas would appreciate unwanted visitors, especially his kind."

"Hold on, let me talk with him real quick," the red head leaned in closer and whispered to me, "hey kid you don't have a heart, do you?"

Looking back at that moment I realize just how weird his question was. I had no memory anyway. The pain was beginning to fade bit by bit so I sat up.

"I don't remember having one. Should I have one? Actually I don't remember much of anything before a little while ago," I bet I sounded pretty stupid but the guy seemed to understand.

"There. You see? It's not really all that uncommon for some nobodies to lose their memories. I say we at least show this guy to the castle. He might even turn out to be useful."

"Fine, but you have to help him up. Also, if Xemnas asks, this was your idea. Not mine."

"Yeah, I get it. The kid's my responsibility. Hey kid can you at least get up and walk? It took a few seconds but I finally stood up. I was still not one-hundred percent but I could still walk. "Great kid, let's get going." And with that, I was motioned to follow them. It was a lot better than lying in the street.

It didn't take long to get to where they were leading me. It was a giant silver castle, which looked to me more like a fortress. It didn't even look like there was a way to get inside until a clear bridge appeared from the castle. I was told to wait out side while the man who's name was Axel walked inside and left me with the other guy. I had learned earlier that the guy reading the book was named Zexion. The whole time while we were waiting outside he was glued to his book. I thought about asking about it, but somehow I knew he wouldn't even answer. After what seemed like an hour of awkward silence Axel returned with another black coat.

"Here put this on, no one should recognize you as long as you keep the hood up. Now follow me I think I found someone who could give you a job to do while you're here."

"I don't get it. you just met me. Why are you helping a complete stranger?" I was thankful but I felt it had to be asked.

"Well guys like us gotta stick together. There aren't many like us so we have to stick together." I didn't understand, but I put the coat on and followed him inside when motioned to follow.

There were long hallways and no too many people in such a large castle. When we did pass by people they would often ask who I was. I was about to speak a few times, but every time Axel would answer them with a, "don't worry about it," or Zexion would say, "It's fine he's just another puppet." Finally we arrived in a perfectly round room.

There only a few people filled the room. One was a man who looked more than half crazy. His hair was long and pale. The person across from him, for understandable reasons, was a girl. She had blonde hair that also had what looked like an antenna. She seemed to be glaring at me for some reason. At the center of the room was a man whose hair matched the color of the flower he was holding. Seriously, I have no memory but I know that no man alive should have his hair that color. He approached me slowly and finally spoke.

"Welcome brother. Please tell us what your name is so we can give you your new name." There was a short amount of silence, "You do have a name right?" apparently this seemed funny to him.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I have no memories of anything from a few hours ago"

"None at all?"

"Zero."

"Well that won't do. We have to call you something," It only took him a second to think about it. "I've got it! A man with zero memories of his past should have a name to match." He sat down in his chair and pointed at me, "From this moment on your name shall be Xero our newest and most secret member of Organization XIII."
