Bonds of a Nobody
Nobodies…beings that were never supposed to be. Some weak and some strong, it's up to the Organization to take control. Command the weak and gain their right to a heart and a true being.
Blankness surrounded the entire area. White walls. White floors. Everything was just nothing. A figure lay in the center of it all. Rather. A person. A girl none the less that was just starting to awaken. She had a plain black shirt, white short-sleeved jacket with a spike design on the sleeves colored black, blue jeans and black running shoes. Her hair was long, brown and had some blonde streaks put in it. She got to her knees and shook her head, face devoid of any expression. The girl rose to her feet and looked around with her deep, brown eyes only to find that she was in a place of complete emptiness.
"huh?" she questioned to herself. Immediately after that word slipped, a black portal had begun to open behind her. From that portal came a black coated being with a hood over his head. He grabbed the girl's arm and she jumped around, breaking free of the cloaked man's grip.
"good. You have energy. Would you like to know?" The man started to speak. He waved his arm in front of him revealing a name floating in the air. "Sara". The girl stared at the lettering in front of her and then looked back up to the man.
"You can feel nothing. Would you like a meaning in life?" Those words sparked attention to the girl. She opened her eyes a little wider and that was all the response the cloaked man needed. He flicked his hand around, making the floating name circle around her rapidly, mixing up the letters. The man then thrust his arm out in front of him, halting the letters with a large "X".
"Axras…?" the girl muttered.
"congratulations. To the new you…" Mr. Cloak man stated, his face still shadowed from the hood. He started back through the portal he came and stopped just before he was through. He motioned to Axras to come. She followed through the portal but when she got to the other side, the cloaked man was nowhere to be found.
"Well how rude." Axras spoke to herself. She looked around. Her new surroundings weren't much too different than the previous one. It was a white room with a desk, bookshelf, and bed that were colored steel blue. Axras walked over to the bed, where a black cloak identical to the one the man was wearing, was laying there with a note on top of it. She picked up the note and read it over.
Welcome to the Organization
Wear the cloak and be part of the group. Report to the
training hall for your first assignment. Don't worry about
getting lost. One of our members will be over to help you
shortly.
Your new information is as follows…
Name: Axras
Org. #: 14
Power: Summon
Weapon: Bow and arrow
She took the card and set it aside on the desk. Then she went back to the bed and put on the cloak. A perfect fit. Axras walked over to the book case and examined the books. The pages were all blank. A knock on the door sounded and she put the empty page books back on the shelf. She opened the door and waiting there was actually a young boy about her age. He also wore a black cloak, but didn't wear his hood up. His hair was blond and spiked, curving slightly to the right and his eyes were bluer than blue.
"Hey there. I'm Roxas" the boy introduced himself.
"…err…Hi Roxas. I'm…Axras" She responded.
"I hear you're in need of assistance. Please. Come with me." Roxas started down the hall, Axras following close behind.
It seemed that the entire area was almost nothing. All the way to the training hall, not a word was spoken between the two. Roxas opened the door to the hall and instructed Axras to go inside. He followed her into the room where another cloaked person sat and this one had, his face buried in a book. Axras was curious as to how he could be reading so well with his silver (With blue tints) hair covering half of his face. He sensed their arrival.
"Welcome rookie" He greeted, putting down his book. He stood up and walked over to Roxas and Axras.
"Roxas. You are dismissed for now. Come back in a few hours" Roxas nodded and took his leave.
"Now. Axras is it? My name is Zexion. Your first 'mission' in the Organization is to learn how to fight. I take it you read the note in your room?"
"Umm…yeah. I did." Axras replied.
"Do you remember what it said on it? What's your weapon?" Zexion asked. Axras thought about what she read on the note. Weapon: Bow and arrow. She nodded and replied to Zexion's question.
"My weapon. The note said it was a bow and arrow."
"Good good. I know everything is really awkward for you right now but try to concentrate. Feel the bow in your hand and channel your energy through your fingers." He instructed. Axras took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She held out her hand and tried to concentrate the best she could. A small glitter formed through her hand and made a slight outline of a bow, but it never got any more solid. After a few seconds, Axras lost it and opened her eyes.
"Hey hey not bad. You seemed a little distracted though. What you need to do right now is think about yourself. Feel the energy within you and express that energy in a physical form. I'm not here. It's just you in here. Leave everything else behind" corrected Zexion.
Axras took another deep breath and left every thought behind her. She reached deep down inside herself and felt the bow in her hand. The glitter reappeared and outlined a more solid line. Axras did her best not to lose her concentration with the faint outline of a bow starting to appear. She kept her concentration high and was determined to get this right. Soon, the lines got more defined and finally, a solid structure was formed. A white and purple bow with the top of the Organization symbol making up each tip and a silver string was formed.
"Excellent! You're a natural. Usually people don't get their weapons solidified until about the 7th try." Zexion praised Axras.
She held the bow in her hands and stroked a hand down its smooth surface.
"It's beautiful. What do I do with it now?" Axras asked. Zexion ruffled her hair and replied
"Think girl. Do you remember what it said on the note? What's your element?"
"err…Summon" Axras slapped Zexion's hand away from her head, giving off the impression that she wasn't a child.
"Woah hey now. Easy. Ok now here comes the logic. The basic composition of life is through DNA right?" He walked up to Axras and plucked a strand of hair from her head.
"now solidify an arrow. This should be much easier than the weapon itself. Give it a try" Axras did as she was told and focused her energy in creating an arrow in her free hand. A silver arrow was formed and Zexion gave Axras the hair he had taken from her. Now her brain was starting to work and she was creating an idea on how to get her power to work. She took the hair and examined it for a second. Zexion stood back and watched as Axras was playing around with her bow, configuring it in certain ways until she found a way to work.
Axras thought for a while and finally figured out the correct combination to make summoning work. She took the arrow and hair and focused her energy to merge the DNA from the hair to the arrow tip. The tip flashed and sparkled, creating an aura around it. She took the shining arrow and cocked it in the bow. When she rose to shoot the arrow, she was interrupted by Zexion.
"Wait! Before you shoot. How did you synthesize the DNA. I hope you have an idea on what you're doing". She thought for a second
"I have an idea…not quite sure if I'm doing everything right though. But if I believe in what I try to summon, it should come out perfectly right?" Zexion nodded and let her try her hand at summoning.
Axras raised her bow and pulled back the string. She closed her eyes and trusted the arrow to not make a hideous blob. Zexion knew that the arrow would make a new species of nobody that she would control. Everyone in the organization had one. The arrow was shot and after it went a good distance, it exploded in light.
"Whoa!" Axras jumped back and stared at the light.
A roar could be heard from the light and a figure flew out of the sparkles. The figure represented somewhat of a dragon and looked as though it would be a dusk version of Xaldin's Dragoon nobody. Its head was streamlined and wide, teeth that could cut steel, body was powerful and sturdy. Its arms and legs were slightly short, and it's claws were huge. The wings were slick and pointed and the tail was thick and long with a razor sharp blade at the end of it. To top it off, on its head, there was a tattoo of the Organization symbol. The creature was flying around and making a lot of noise, most of it a loud screech.
"Axras, try and get control of your summon! Take charge and let it know who's boss" Zexion held his ears, trying to drown out the creature's noise. Now Axras was starting to lose it. She had no idea what to do.
"Uhh…uhh………..what do I do what do I do?" She was being very hesitant and looked over to Zexion for what to do? He put his hand up to his mouth and made a motion to get Axras to whistle. She wasn't too sure if she could though but she figured it wouldn't hurt to try. She put two fingers up to her mouth and let out the biggest whistle anyone has ever heard.
The summons's attention was called and dove down, landing right in front of Axras. She stepped forward towards her creation. It tried to snap at her hand, but it missed and then was greeted by getting struck on the top of its head with the blunt part of her bow. Hostility of the creature was almost gone. All that remained was a slight growl from the beast.
"Seems you have its attention. Why don't you try giving it a command?" suggested Zexion. Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the summon broke away from its position in front of its master and tackled Zexion, and pinned him to the ground. It hissed and rose its claw, preparing to slash.
"HALT!!" exclaimed Axras, pointing the end of her bow at it. Summon looked back, freezing in mid-attack.
"Come back here. He's not your enemy" The beast glared at Zexion and let him go, returning to Axras. She took her hand and slapped it across the head.
"You don't do anything unless I say it's ok. GOT IT RAIGE??" It bowed its head.
"You've named it. Good. That's one less task I need to ask of you." Zexion took a deep breath.
"now summon more."
"What? I can hardly control one!" Axras' eyes grew wide.
"If you don't, then you won't learn what you need and you will be no good to us. Self doubt doesn't help much either. Now trust me and summon more Raige!" commanded Zexion. Axras sighed and created a 3 more arrows and fusing them with her DNA. She took each arrow and shot them up to the sky, creating more raige and calling them to attention with her whistle.
"good good. With time, you won't need to fuse your DNA to the arrows. Later, you will only need your will and concentration to summon these creatures. They are yours to command as everyone in this organization has one. Weak nobodies are pretty much there for us to control. Learn how and many opportunities will be open to you." Zexion informed Axras. In the next hour Axras learned how to strategize offense using the raige summons.
"Umm…excuse me? I'm here to take Axras" Roxas had come in through the door and now leaned against a wall.
"Ahh perfect timing Roxas. Axras. Call back your summons. We're done for today" Zexion ordered Axras. She broke the energy bonds between her and her bow, making it vanish along with the raige. She bowed in thanks and left with Roxas, making their way down the hall.
"I see you're getting the hang of your element. Summoning seems pretty technical" Roxas praised.
"Heh… I'm sorry to ask, but what's your element?" Asked Axras.
"Mine? It's light." Roxas replied, giving off the smallest hint of a smile.
