Kingdom Hearts: Destiny of the Heart
"Please take three long, deep breaths" I said to Xion placing a stethoscope on her back
She complied, taking three long, deep breaths
"Nothing sounds wrong." I assured her, removing the stethoscope "You said you were, and I quote, 'in pain' please elaborate."
"Well, there is a sharp pain in my lower back" She said lowering her shirt and putting her black coat back on
"Please describe the pain, pulsing, aching, piercing, shooting-" I started
"Shooting" she said interrupting me
"It's just a minor muscle ache, probably caused by stress." I said "Tell me, what was the last mission you were assigned?"
"I went to Twilight Town with Roxas, we battled a Darkside there" she told me
"A Darkside?" I said writing something down on a slip of paper "Show this to Saix first thing tomorrow, no work for three days. Your medical examination is over, you may leave now."
"Thank you Zexion" she said leaving
I packed up my things and walked from my room over to my lab. I had been running this experiment and it was nearing the completion stage, it was a Heartless lure. I was going to plant it in the middle of Twilight town and allow Roxas and Xion to 'find' it, and eliminate the Heartless that showed up. I went over to the device and turned it on. It whirred and buzzed for a moment. Then, suddenly, a Pureblood Neo Shadow Heartless appeared behind me.
"What? Only one?" I exclaimed "There goes three months of research, and it's a Pureblood? This won't do us any good." I face palmed
The Neo Shadow glanced around the room as if looking for something, certain sense of urgency and impatience in its movements. Then, the Neo Shadow locked its eyes on me and slowly started to step towards me, each step more sinister and malicious than the one before.
"What are you doing?" I asked
I knew it wouldn't answer me, while some Heartless obey our commands, they can't speak to us directly. But what happened next surprised me.
"I fOunD You!" a mysterious voice screamed
"Who said that?" I shouted "Show yourself!"
"I-I-I-IIII FOUnd YoUUU!" the voice screamed again "I fINalLLLYyYY fOuNNDddD YyyYYyOou!"
"Was that… you?" I asked the Neo Shadow "Can you talk?"
"IIIIII FOUND YOU!" It screamed charging at me
I summoned my Lexicon in an attempt to defend against it but I was too late, it had grabbed onto me. I felt its darkness seeping into me, its icy cold tendrils of black shadow pouring in through my skin and wrapping themselves around the very core of my being. They wrapped my arms, abdomen, and torso in a blaze of ebony colored shadow, causing me to feel one of the few things Nobodies could truly feel, true pain.
"III FOUND YOU!" It wailed again as I staggered backwards
"HELP ME!" I shouted "SOMEONE HELP ME!"
'I FOUND YOU!" the Neo Shadow screeched
I stumbled backwards and bumped into something. I heard it crash against the floor, shattering like glass on the pavement. I slowly turned my head in horror to see that I had knocked over the Lure.
"NO!" I shouted but it was too late
Chemicals and magic that had never meant to touch or combine blended and merged together to form a spellbinding display of color and light. But due to my shadowy friend who could only yell "I FOUND YOU" I was unable to stop what occurred next, an explosion. The lure exploded in a vibrant blast of vibrant, violent, blue light, engulfing the room in the most devastating explosion I had seen in years. I looked at my hand and saw a sight that would make even Xemnas cry out in terror; my body had begun to disintegrate before my eyes, my own body flaking away in pieces of golden light, a sharp contrast to the blue glare around me. I did what any normal being would do, I screamed.
**** Roxas POV
"Roxas what happened?" Axel asked running up to me, his feet pounding against the floor
"I don't know" I told him when he approached "I heard Zexion yell for help, the next thing I know his lab's on fire!"
It was incredible, all had been completely silent one moment, and then the next thing I knew half the East wing on fire. It was tearing through the walls of the Castle, its orange tendrils wrapping themselves around anything that they could burn to a black crisp.
"Man this is bad" Axel said "Zexy's a goner"
"You sure?" I asked
"I'm a fire master Roxas, trust me, this is very bad." Axel explained
"What's going on her- HOLY SMOKES!" Saix said when he saw the fire
"Yowza!" Xigbar yelled "Man this isn't good. Hey Axel, this your fault?"
"Not this time Xigbar" Axel told him "Not this time
"Not good" Xaldin said upon entering the room "If the wind picks up the fire could rip through the castle in under a minute"
"Good" Larxene said coming out of her room, a malicious smile on her face "We needed a better castle anyway I for one think Xemnas could give us slightly more comfortable beds"
"Are we getting new beds?" Demyx asked coming out of his room
"AHH!" He exclaimed when he saw the fire "WHAT DID YOU DO AXEL!"
"It wasn't me Demyx" Axel said
"Xaldin can you put it out with your wind powers?" Saix asked
"Weren't you listening to me?" Xaldin asked "If I use my wind powers the flames will rip through the castle, the whole place will catch fire. I'm pretty sure I mentioned this like twenty seconds ago"
"I got it covered." Demyx said pulling out his Sitar "DANCE WATER DANCE!"
Suddenly, all the pipes in the floor burst and sent ice cold water spewing all over the flames, slowly dousing them… and getting the rest of us soaking wet.
"Remind me to STRANGLE YOU!" Larxene shouted
"Hey, the fire's out Larxene" Axel said "Chill"
"We better see what we can scavenge from the Lab" Saix said
But before any of us could make a move a hand burst out of the smoldering remains of what looked like part of the ceiling. The hand was attached a white lab coat sleeve, which was in turn attached to an individual with silver hair and bright aqua eyes.
"Help" He gasped "Me!"
"Zexion! You're alive" Axel said
"Bummer" Larxene said "I wanted to see what was in that book he was reading"
"Help-me-ceiling-crushing-lungs!" Zexion complained whilst gasping for breath
"In a moment Zexion" Saix said going through some burnt records in the lab "We've got to see what we can save from the burnt remains of your lab"
"Help-me-now!" Zexion repeated
"Hold you're horses Zexion, we'll get to you in a second" Saix said
Zexion's eyebrow started to twitch "GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW YOU INCOMPETENT-"
I didn't hear what Zexion said next because Axel proceeded to clamp his hands over my ears, by the time he took them off I could hear Saix saying "No need for language Zexion"
Axel, Xaldin, Larxene, and Saix proceeded to lift the smoldering debris off of Zexion's body. After it was all off of him Axel lifted one of the Cloaked Schemer's arms over his shoulder while Xaldin lifted the other.
"There, happy now?" Larxene asked
"Now Zexion please help us identify some of the remains of your lab-" Saix started
"ARE YOU SOME KIND OF IDIOT!" Zexion shouted "GET VEXEN!"
"If you would just wait a moment-" Saix started
"Maybe I should dumb this down for you" Zexion said "I-AM-DYING-GET-VEXEN-OR-A-DOCTOR-NOW!"
"Okay, okay, okay" Saix said leaving
"Thank-" Zexion eyes widened "-you" he passed out
"Zexy, hey Zexy, wake up!" Axel said
"Get him to the infirmary" I yelled
"Uh, right!" Axel said
He and Xaldin took off after Saix, urgency in their steps as they ran through the castle. I stared at the unconscious Zexion as they took off, wondering what he had been doing to prompt an explosion of this scale, and when he had bothered to change into that lab coat.
