Disclaimer: Don't own Kingdom Hearts

Chapter 1

Darkness was predominant over their world; shadows everywhere you look. The only place where you can find any light (save for the neon lights that decorated the lined buildings, but they don't really count) was inside The Castle That Never Was. But, everything was quiet…

Too quiet…

Albeit the overspammed cliché, it was seriously deathly quiet. A pin can drop in the sands of the dark beaches and the members of the Organization would still be able to hear it with clarity. But that information was superfluous.

Xemnas was sitting in the study, reading a book and enjoying the rare silence this day had given to him. As mentioned beforehand, it wasn't frequent that the castle would be so oddly quiet; usually one of the younger members would be causing a ruckus by now (Axel or Demyx especially). However, the silence really didn't last that long as the doors burst open and Xigbar rushed inside.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The silver-haired man twitched and fixed his hair, which was comically blown back by the sheer sound of the sniper's loud screech. He turned to face his subordinate, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"What…is it Number II?" he asked with a calm voice. Xigbar usually wasn't this hyper…unless, "Have Sora and the others visited again?"

It had been a very long time since the revival of the Organization (which meant that it had been a much longer time since their defeat by the hands of the Key Keeper). Everyone was in good terms, which was surprising. Usually, everyone would go to Radiant Garden for their visits, with the Destiny Islands coming in second for their common visiting place. It was very rare that they would come to The World That Never Was, however they do go on certain occasions.

"Nope."

"Then what is it?"

"Well, uh…Y'see…We have, um, a problem." Xemnas raised an eyebrow, "Well, twelve problems to be exact."

Now the silver-haired Nobody was confused. The slightly gray-haired Nobody had looked at him, expecting something. When he received silence, he made 'C'mon already!' gestures. Xemnas got up from his seat and followed the sniper into the Proof of Existence. Upon entering, he saw the remaining eleven members of the Organization. Scanning the room, his eyes soon landed on the problems Xigbar was talking about.

Kids

One dozen human children (Okay, teenagers may be the more appropriate term) inside the Proof of Existence

"……………Alright, what the hell is going on here?" he asked, his voice still eerily calm. He turned to the rest of the Organization, seeing if any of them could provide the answer to his question.

"Well, uh, y'see…" Xigbar started out. Vexen had taken over

"With what information they decided to reveal to us, they seem to have come from another dimension. One where Heartless and Nobodies don't exist in their real lives. Those things, and apparently us and the other realms we have visited and the people we have met, seem to be…" he trailed of and tried to force the words out of his mouth. Thankfully, Axel saved him the trouble

"A video game." Vexen nodded his head in appreciation and continued with his explanation

"Anyway… They are all eighth graders, ranging from ages thirteen and fourteen. They also seemed to have formed…their own Organization."

"Interesting…" was the only thing Xemnas said

"So, how did they get here?" Xaldin asked

"Even they do not know." The ice user replied

"Ahem!" The Organization turned to face a girl, who had stepped in front of the other teens. She had long, wavy black hair that was tied into a bun with dark brown eyes that complimented her light-dark skin tone. The girl was wearing a light gray shirt with a loose black sweater over it that had a French quote that Joan of Arc had said during the Hundred Years' War. She also had baggy black pants with many loose chains hanging from almost everywhere.

"I should fill in the gaps." She said

"Yes, please do. And you are…?"

"Rhiana. But please, everyone refers to me as Yazoo." She introduced, "I am the leader of the Organization XIII of RWB."

"Why Yazoo?" Axel asked

"Because she has a spacey nature and gets easily distracted." A voice from the mass of teens called out

"RWB?" Luxord asked

"Roy W. Brown." All the kids replied simultaneously

"It's the name of the middle school we attend." Yazoo explained. The Organization nodded their heads in understanding. She continued with the explanation, "We were all walking to our hangout in the woods. School had just ended for the week, with only one more week of school left. As we neared the woods, a huge red portal thing appeared from the ground and sucked us all in."

"I see…"

"Okay, then, if you're an Organization, then who's who?" Larxene asked

"Number I: Yazoo- The Superior." She said

"Number II: Lorena—but preferably Nara— The Redsand Sniper." A short (but not too short) girl with straight shoulder length black hair and charcoal colored eyes said. She wore a dark blue long-sleeve shirt that had a loose and big neckband that hung forward, showing a bit of her black shirt. There was 'II' printed in bold black letters. She also wore beige Capri's that ended a few inches below her knees and black open-toed sandals. She also wore gun holsters around her upper thighs like kunai holsters and had black fingerless gloves. A dark blue winter-like hat wrapped around her head.

"Number III: Mikki- The Lotus Windblade." Another short girl with almost the same facial features as Nara (except the hair is a bit shorter) said. She had a long black shirt whose base draped part of her thighs. She also had dark blue jeans, which were ripped at the knees and black sneakers.

"Number IV: Michael- The…uh, what was it again?" A boy with short black hair and a tan complexion asked. He had brown eyes. He also wore a dark orange long-sleeve with a dark navy blue stripe going down the middle of the front and loose blue jeans with white sneakers that had a dark blue streak on the sides.

"The Reason For Mass Idiocy." The kids replied. Xigbar, Axel and Demyx snickered. This guy was the polar opposite of Vexen. And the title was just plain hilarious.

"See, now this was why she gave you that title in the first place!" Nara exclaimed. She sighed and muttered, "I can't believe I'm related to you… (A/N: They're cousins)"

"Number V: Ayra- The Soft-Spoken Ninja." A girl with black hair that flowed two inches below her shoulder and glasses said. She had a blue shirt with a smiley face that had 'X's for eyes and something that looked like an underscore for a mouth (Like this: XX) with a red jacket over it. She also wore plain jeans and black shoes.

"Number VI: Cyril- The Compassionate Assassin." Cyril was wearing a loose black jacket with thick white horizontal stripes going across the sleeves. The jacket was closed, so they couldn't see what she was wearing underneath. She also wore dark blue jeans with midnight blue converse.

"Number VII: Godwin- The Holy Destroyer." A boy said. He was as dark-skinned as maybe Xemnas and wore glasses like Ayra. He had black hair that reached his shoulders at the back but remained only up to his ears around the front. He wore a pure black collared shirt with a black blazer, baggy denim jeans and sneakers.

"Number VIII: Justine- The Flurry of Destruction." A short girl with a petit face said. She has black eyes with shoulder-length black hair. She wore a dark purple shirt with two white stick figures on it. A taller stick figure was hitting the shorter stick figure with a mallet. She also wore jeans with white sneakers.

"Number X: Jacob- The Gambler of Chance." A boy with dark skin like Godwin's said. He had short black hair and glasses. He wore a blue sweatshirt over a black shirt, black jeans and midnight blue sneakers

"Number XI: Eva- The Graceful Rebel!" Said a girl with a moderate skin tone. She had black eyes and a boyish hair cut. She also wore a red shirt that had retro-style designs on them over a black long-sleeved shirt with retro-style white stripes going down the sleeves. Eva also wore ripped jeans with Japanese-style painting prints on the leggings and black and white checkered converse shoes.

"Number XII: Ryan- The Violent Mage." A light-skinned boy with light brown hair and eyes said. He wore a red short-sleeve with the letters 'XII' on them over a plain white long-sleeve. The slant of the 'X' that was going from the upper left down to the lower right was a kunai. He also wore plain jeans and sneakers.

"Number XIII: Anjie- The Key to Oblivion." A light-skinned girl said. She had red eyes and long blonde hair that was tied in a low ponytail. She wore a black long-sleeve shirt with a skull on it. She also wore slightly-baggy black pants with chains hanging from the right pant leg. She also wore black converse shoes with flames at the bottom and had different colored shoelaces.

"I see…" Xemnas muttered to himself

"Question!" Demyx shouted almost immediately. All eyes were directed towards him, "You guys have a full Organization, right? All the spots are filled?"

"Y…yeah…"

Zexion caught on, "Then why are there only twelve of you?"

………………………………

Yazoo quickly scanned her group and cried out, "WHERE THE HELL IS IVY!?!?!?!?!?!"

"…Ivy?"

"Her real name's Julia. She's generally nice, but has a multiple personality thing that changes due to something she hasn't really gone into full detail yet. She also can be deceiving, much like poison ivy." Mikki explained, "She's our Melodious Nocturne. Needless to say, she likes music a lot."

Axel looked at Demyx and smirked. Looks like he got the crazy kid of the bunch, the redhead thought. Demyx, however, smiled.

Suddenly, a portal opened up and a figure dropped down to the floor. Heartless poured out of the portal also, trying to get to the figure. The person—a girl with black hair (which fell about a foot below her shoulders) that was tied in a low ponytail (with a portion of her black hair covering her left eye, Zexion-style) and one visible green eye—got up and started to fight the black creatures bare handed.

"That's her!" Yazoo cried out, "That's Ivy!"

The black monsters started to claw at her legs. She winced before she started to kick them off and then bash them to oblivion. The portal closed and she dealt with the remaining Heartless. But in the end, Ivy looked like crap. Her jeans were tattered and bloody, as well as her black shirt and sweater-like trench coat. She blew at the portion of hair that was covering her left eye. It went up a bit, revealing a red eye hidden beneath the curtain of black.

The girl staggered a bit towards the group before she started to fall forward. Luckily, the blonde musician caught her before she hit the ground. Her face was contorted with pain while she clutched her legs.

"Vexen, get some potions. Hurry back." Xemnas ordered. The Chilly Academic briskly nodded before running out of the Proof of Existence to his basement lab.

&&&&&&&

It had been decided that, for the meantime, the teen Organization XIII would stay at The Castle That Never Was and Castle Oblivion until they could find a way to get them back to their respective dimension. Also, they would start training the teens. Each person is paired up with the teen of their number. Why train them? Well, they need to fight in order to survive this dark world, right?

Anyway…

It had been a hassle to heal Ivy's wounds. But, as they soon found out, most of the damage had been done to her legs. Vexen had told them that she probably couldn't walk for a very long while—possibly a month or two— so she was bedridden until then.

The blonde musician was sent out to get some ingredients for a potion Vexen was concocting. He had to get a large amount of each item from various worlds, because Vexen had never tried to make a potion such as this before and he had to experiment a bit. Also, he was to stop by Radiant Garden to pick up some effective items.

Everyone else had started their lessons. But before that, everyone—all twenty-four of them—had stopped by the younger girl's room to check on her, since her teacher and guardian was currently out.

Yazoo had came with a pile of books and set them on the nightstand next to the bed. The Organization stared as she did so.

"What? She likes to read."

"…That much?"

"Hai!" Everyone replied simultaneously

"Alright. I think that's enough of a visit." Yazoo said, taking out something from her pocket and setting it on top of the books.

"Well, it's best that we leave now. The earlier we start training, the better!" the leader of the mini-Org. exclaimed, "Okay, everyone, get started!"
