And now if out further ado, On with the Show!

Veil of Shadow, Chapter 1- Flight

In a silent, moonless field, the wind blows gently against the greenery with the touch of an angel. A cross shaped path is found in the middle of this quaint scene. Small shadows appear and move towards the center of this crossroad. As they reach the center, they move up and create a sphere of darkness. The sphere starts to grow until it is six feet in diameter. Three rows of shadowy thorns float out the orb and start to rotate around their origin. Their spinning grows in pace, a faint humming sound can be heard in the silence. This humming grows louder as the thorns spin faster until at its climax, the orb shatters as if it had the consistency of glass. The thorns vanish into a gaseous shadow that fades away leaving a lone, cloaked figure standing in their place.

The figure turns his head from direction to direction, as if looking to see if he was being followed. He visibly relaxes when he senses nothing for miles anywhere. He knew what he was doing, and suicidal was the top thing you would describe it. No one had ever "successfully" left the Organization. It was either, be destroyed by Xemnas, or work till you faded into nothingness. The figure shakes his head, now was not the time for such thoughts. He had made it this far, he might as well keep going. Sensing something behind him, he flinches but only relaxes again when he recognizes his partner's aura.

"It's been some time now since we last spoke…..hasn't it, eh Zexion?" He asked his partner, his back to him.

Zexion just raised a hand to his hood and took it off. He looks at his friend with a calculating blue eye. He shakes his head, moving his pale, blue hair over his left eye again. In his head, Zexion was already thinking of a way to maybe persuade him from continuing this plan of his.

"Ryuxen, why are you doing this? Surely you of all people should know what happened the last two times this was even attempted."

"I more than aware of that, but I will make it. I mean look at how far I've made it so far."

Ryuxen then removed his hood, his black hair falling over in pale face; a single piercing, golden yellow eye staring out from a part in his hair into the night sky.

"Well regardless you have to come back. They still aren't aware that you have left, but that won't last forever.

"Why do you persist in trying to get to go back? You know what's really going on as much as I do."

"That's not the po-"

"That's exactly the point, BAKA!"

Zexion stands there his head down. He knew Ryuxen was right, and he knew what he was referring to. Organization XIII was dead, or at least dead in its original purpose. All the many underground operations happening between some of the "newer" members, in his mind they were new. Xemnas, their Leader, obsessing about Kingdom Hearts and trying to get a heart back. Why do you get rid of your heart only to want it back, made no sense to him. Finally there was the incident in Castle Oblivion, where thanks to Ryuxen, his life was saved from a deranged replica.

"Ryuxen, I know that everything is not the way it used to be, but that doesn't mean that this will solve anything." Zexion told him in a slightly sad tone.

"I aware of that Zexion, but I need to do this."

All of a sudden dark pools formed around the two. Several Grey figures stretched out of the pool, a zipper opening their mouths.

"Zexion-Sama….Ryuxen-Sama…..for attempting to leave the Organization, Xemnas-Sama has order you immeadiate retrieval and execution" One the dusk said in a hollow voice.

"I am not the one at fault here! I'm trying to get this idiot here back?" Zexion retorted, shocked their proclamation, Zexion. They have made up their mind." Ryuxen said as a shadowy aura enveloped his hands.

Ryuxen summons his blades, shadows lightly covering them. Zexion sighs as he pulls out his book. They then face the Dusks, back to back, a fight was inevitable.

Next time, the fight for survival begins, and Zexion is pulled in this. What will happen to them? Will they make it out? Will I stop making these questions for no reason? No but find these and more in the next Chapter.

Till then
