CASTLE OBLIVION:
Opening the front doors, a familiar young girl with demonic features wearing a red and black hood walked into the main hall carrying a large burlap bag on her back as she entered. Her name was Nami, half-human half-demon and current Keyblade bearer.
For the sake of being specific. She also wore dark gray pants, which hid her furry leg but still showed out her hoof like feet. She also wore black fingerless gloves which showed her clawed hands, she also had two black horns growing from her head. Two familiar aspects was that she had spiky dark brown hair and a crown shaped ear piercing which resembled her father's necklace. Her father, that was another reason why she was there, she didn't tell Kairi, but after a suprise attack from the leader: Xemanus, The Organization somehow in someway managed to take a piece of Sora's heart which caused him to go into a coma. Her goal was clear, Find the members of Organization XIII give them what they deserve and save her dad before it was too late. who knows what those monsters will do with that piece.
The girl looked around to see that almost all of the decor being the color white from the walls to the floor and even the plants were unnaturally blank along with their giant pots were the exact same color.
"Hmm… I guess this is supposed to be a metaphor for all the organization members themselves." Nami said sarcastically, even though her words didn't seem that far fetched. The giant doors slammed shut behind her startling her slightly.
"Well that's just mean." A voice spoke in front of her, she turned to see a black hooded figure (instead being the one with being the one with the hood up) leaning back on the wall relaxed. "Though to be fair, I was thinking that this place should be looking a bit more… "Festive" considering what time of year it is. The figure said nonchalantly with the girl looking back silently, confusing the organization member, until his head shot up and he shot up and he snapped his finger. "Oh! I'm sorry, where are my manners?" He asked rhetorically pulling down his hooded revealing himself to be a young man with long spiky red hair and piercing green eyes. "The name's Axel, pleasure to meet you Nami." He finished with a bow.
"So you've heard of me, and clearly were expecting me. And most likely the others are as well." She then pulled out her mother's list of organization and saw Axel's name on top of it, she raised an eyebrow in confusion seeing that there was a question mark right next to the name of the man in front of him. She remember her Dad talked to her about him, telling her this may be the only member that can be remotely reasoned with.
"Smart girl, let's see: you've got your dad's hair, sort of. And I'm willing to bet that you've got your mom's observant nature as well. Gotta say, your old man doesn't really strike me as the type of guy who'd be into demons, especially one who is supposably the "Anti-Santa Claus". But hey, who am I to judge?"
She then looked down even further on the list causing her orange eyes to grow wide as she saw that not just that the rest of the names listed didn't have any question marks next to them but that the last one (presumably the member who is actually ranked: #13) did not have his or her name listed but a series of question marks in the place of where the name should be confusing Nami even more, meaning whoever it is she will be dealing with is a complete mystery.
"Something bothering you?"
"Yeah, yo mama." Nami said trying to clever as she puts the list away.
"Cute." Axel said chuckling slightly, his eyes widen in realization. "Wait, Krampus has a list too?"
"Well of course, how else was she going to do her job? As for why I'm taking her for place for you guys. Well-"
"I get it, you have your reasons to fight, I have mine."
"So what's yours?" Nami asked crossing her arms.
"Well personally, I think we've shared more than enough words." Axel then lowered his head stretched both arms out causing two spike chakras to appear in each hand. He then summons a large ring of fire surrounding them with no way into get in or out of it. "So now that the introductions are done…" Axel said lifting his back up revealing a sinister smile on his face. "WE CAN BEGAN!"
Nami responds by summoning the Kingdom Key and getting into a fighting stance, the two starred at each-other for a moment. Axel starts off simple enough throwing one of his chakrams at the girl who just bats it away with the Keyblade knocking into the wall of fire disapearing. She then charges towards the 8th ranked member, who just chuckled and jumped back into the flames causing Nami to stop and look around carefully. She was caught of gaurd by one the chakrams flying out the wall cutting acrosss her back causing her to yelp in pain, Axel then jumped out of the fire grabbing the flying chakram and was about to strike down at her with that and the one he kept causing Nami to lift the Keyblade up blocking the attack, she then gave off a a slightly animalistic growl showing her fangs. Being pyshically stronger she pushed Alex off and began attack him left and right with each hit.
After taking a beating Axel lets out a laugh as he retaliates by creating another wall of fire this time being made from some flaming pillars closing on her, wity both the new wall infront of her and the regular one behind, Nami thought fast by jumping into a tight gap inbetween two of the pillars burning her jacket slightly but otherwise made it unharmed.
She then looks around to see that Axel disapeared again causing her to roll her eyes as he was probably going to pull off anoyjer cheap trick but was surprised to see one the chakrams actually flying towards her from the front allowing her to dodge the attack with ease, but was caught off guard even she saw the second one heading her way haiving to avoid that attack as well. Before Nami knew it, both Chakrams covered in flames were flying around appearing from one to the other until knocked both of them out of the air.
She looked down to see that the floor turned to what looked liked molten lava burning her feet, she turns to see Axel appear on the side of the wall with both weapons back in his hands somehow. Taking the chance he stabbed one the spikes into Nami's chest as she was still feeling the burning sensiation on her feet getting worse, Axel then shoved another spike from the other chakram into the girl's shoulder adding to the already existing pain. She then surprised the 8th ranked member by grabbing his wrist and pulling him of this fire forcefully ripping the spikes out of her and slaming him on the burning ground letting out a painful grunt.
Delivering a powerful smack to the face with the Keyblade causing the floor to return to normal. Alex then rolled out of the way and got back up. He then set both weapons on fire, and charged towards Nami swining and punching almost like it was a form of dancing with the younger fighter dodging and block each attack as fast and carefully as she could until the two locked weapons.
After a slight powerful struggle, Nami pushes Axel back into the flames. He then reappears behind her. Unfortunately for him this was actually part of Nami's plan as she aimed the Keyblade right him.
"Freeze!" She yelled as a glowing sphere of ice then shot at Axel's forehand turning into forst, causing him to goan in pain as he grabbed his end. This caused the ring of fire to finally disappear. Taking her chance, she then landed a few more hits on Axel until she finally finished up by letting one last strike sending him flying into a wall. Nami then finished it off with by flipping the Keyblade over in her hand and tossed it like a javelin nailing Axel in the head knocking out cold as the frost melted away.
Nami then inspected the 8th ranked member closely, even before battle started there something a bit strange about the aura he gave off. While darkness she sensed in him did speak for itself, despite how deadly of a fighter he proved himself to be, there was really nothing about him that read as things like: "Evil" or "Empty". Stirring Axel back awake, opened his eyes slightly suprised that Nami didn't kill him yet.
"So… I lost." Axel said plainly. "You know that's funny. Becuase when it was Sora fighting me, he beat me as the first organization that he saw too."
"Really?"
"Yep, and just like that time, is a test. Just like the one that I gave him when he was your age."
"A test?"
"Yep! And you passed, congrats! You're ready take on The Organization!" He praised standing back up.
"Well I hope so, I'd hate to come all this way for nothing. Thanks I guess." Nami said plainly. "So tell me Axel, where do you stand in Organization 13? Because I have a feeling that really are the only considerably: "nice guy" I'll see from this whole group."
"The only considerably nice guy" huh? I'M SO-flattered." Axel said simply. "And to answer your question, I don't know. Things haven't really been the same since a friend of mine has left The Oragnization. It's a shame really, this could've been our first Christmas together as Best Friends." He explained, Nami began to think that this "Best Friend" of Axel maybe the one whose name is missing, thought still didn't actually give her much to work with on the former member's identity. Axel then opened up a dark portal surprising Nami.
"Wait where are you going!?"
"Just taking a shortcut to Twilight Town, I heard it's really beautiful with all the decorations and trees out. Maybe you should check it out for yourself when you're done. And Relax, I'm not goong to do anything." Axel answered, Nami really didn't want to risk letting one of the members go, but the way he spoke and his mannerisms actaully did show that he was being genuine so she couldnt really bring herself to really stop him. "And honestly, I quit too. Happy Holidays." He finished as he disappeared entering the portal, leaving a still rather confused Nami just standing there. She then looked down to see a note on the ground left for her. She picked it up and read with great curiosity.
"Dear Nami,
If you're reading this, chances are that you beat me and I'm dead. After seeing how you handled those Dusks on that Island with Kairi, I knew that I'd have step up my game, hope I lived up to expectations.
Speaking of, you see Kairi back in "The World That Never Was" Tell her it was nothing personal when I took her there.
Merry Christmas,
-Axel"
"Mother-!" Nami said facepalming realizing that just yesterday she left Kairi on Destiny Island to fend for herself just after she saved her from some Lesser Nobodies, she should've known that one the members of the people who created those thing would be there too. And now she let the one who kidnapped Kairi get away. But that was something she would have to deal with for another time, for now The Organization is her top priorty, Kairi will just have to wait as a way to keep her safe.
Nami then took a deep breath as she tossed the note away and pull her mom's Naughty List back out seeing that there was a line going through Axel's name showing that while didnt get the punishment that supposed to be use, he was at least dealt with. "So that's why he had the question mark, becuase Mom must've saw that he might have a chance at redemption kidnapping aside. But how could she know that but not know who one of the members or posibly or possibly former members are? That doesn't make any sense." Nami thought to herself as she continued to read the list.

And that was the first Chapter, I hope you guys enjoyed it. Most of you are probably wondering like "What's up with Sora and Krampus?" and "Why/How is Xemnas dead?". Those questions will adressed in later as Nami deals with the rest of the memebers chapters so please be patient. I'll admit I think that I could've start this off a bit better.
Also there is now real order for which member will in each chapter so take that as you will. After all I started off with Axel becuase well, he's Axel how can I not?
Until Next Time…
