A spiky blonde youth wanders the monochrome halls of the Castle That Never Was. This young youth arrived in the Grey Area. He noticed his best friend, Number VIII, chilling on a couch and waved. Number VIII, otherwise known as Axel, waves back. The spiky blonde looks around and noticed the most reclusive member of the organization - Number VI aka Zexion, and the gambler - Number X aka Luxord, were also in the room. Shaking his head at the odd selection of people, the youngest member of Organization XIII approaches the rather scary individual known as Number VII aka Saïx.
"Roxas, make sure you're prepared. You will be going on a very special and long term mission. You, Axel, Luxord and Zexion will be going to a new world called Remnant. The reason you are being partnered with three people is because the four of you will have to interact with the people of this world and as such, you will posing as transfer students to the school known as Beacon. You are a team transferring from a school called Shade Academy. There are Heartless here and creatures similar called Grimm," Saïx informs.
"Sooooo what's our mission then?" Roxas asks, furrowing his blonde eyebrows at the information he was given.
"Your specific mission is to gather as much information as possible on the world while gathering Hearts," Saïx answers. The blonde Nobody then shrugs and he walks over to the other four members he would be working with for this mission.
"So! Roxas! You ready to go on this long term mission?" Axel asks, grinning widely.
"Uh yeah, but have you seen Xion? I figured she should know so that way she doesn't think we abandoned her.." Roxas trails off.
"Don't worry about that. I already told her. She left before you got here! So let's go!" Axel says, standing up.
"I have some information from when I first visited this world that will make our blending in easier," Zexion speaks up, closing his Lexicon.
"Well then, do share," Luxord says, looking at the Cloaked Schemer with interest.
"This world, Remnant, has something similar to our magic. It's called Dust. However, it is strictly elemental. To blend in, I would recommend only using magic like Fire, Thunder, Aero and Blizzard. Along with Dust, the people of Remnant have something called Aura. It is the manifestation of one's soul," Zexion starts explaining, going into lecture mode.
"Wait.. If we don't have Hearts, can we have this... Aura?" Roxas interrupts.
"Good question Roxas! We can have this Aura as Nobodies still possess a soul. However, in order to use Aura, we need to unlock it. Fortunately with my use of Illusions, I was able to get mine unlocked by a Huntsman, or one of the fighters of this world. I will unlock Roxas's. Roxas will unlock Axel's and then Axel will unlock Luxord's," Zexion says.
"Already starting the team exercises?" Axel smirks.
"No. I am simply making it possible for all of us to have our Auras as unlocking one's Aura seems to drain the person," Zexion scowls. He motions for the spiky blonde Nobody to approach him. Roxas shrugs and approaches Zexion, standing in front of him.
"Alright.. what do I do?" Roxas asks, looking at the silver haired Nobody.
"Nothing," Zexion answered. He pets his left hand on Roxas's right cheek and his right hand on Roxas's chest. "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee," the Cloaked Schemer chants. Silver engulfs Zexion as a bright gold color engulfs Roxas. Afterwards, Zexion slumps and sits on the couch. Roxas watched in fascination as the gold fades away.
"Alrighty! My turn Roxie!" Axel grins, looking at the shorter Nobody.
"Uh, could you bend down so I can reach you?" Roxas asks. Axel chuckled and leans forward. Roxas ignored the weird feeling in his chest and repeats the same process that Zexion did. Roxas is once more engulfed in his gold Aura and Axel is soon enough engulfed in a bright red, a red that was almost the same shade as his own hair. Roxas stumbled a bit as the exhaustion hit him but Axel was quick enough to steady the short blonde and set him onto the couch next to Zexion.
"Alright, last one! Luxord get over here," Axel says, turning his emerald gaze onto the platinum blonde. Luxord chuckles and he gets up, walking over to Axel. Axel repeats what Roxas and Zexion did. The bright red color shines once more over Axel. A greyish-purple surprisingly covers the Gambler of Fate, the only one to have a color that wasn't similar to his hair color. Axel slumped forward a bit as well, Luxord steadying him and setting the redheaded Nobody on the chair.
"Well now that that is done and over with, are you ready to explain more Zexion?" Luxord asks, looking at Number VI. Said Nobody stands, his Aura now replenished.
"Yes. Well, we might discover a new ability called Semblance which is a power related to our persons. One more thing comes to mind. There's a race of humans called Faunus. They are humans with some sort of animal like quality such as a tail, ears, etc. Along with this, they have heightened senses and other attributes of the animals they are like. I highly doubt this will happen to us, but it's possible one or more of us could become a Faunus," Zexion says. The other three Nobodies nod and take a moment to let all of the information sink in and for Roxas and Axel recover their Aura.
"Alright! Let's go!" Axel says, ready to start this rather interesting mission they were getting. Zexion opens up a Dark Corridor to the world of Remnant. The four Nobodies then step through the Dark Corridor, the corridor closing when they arrive in Remnant. They look around and notice that they appeared to be on the school grounds. Zexion dug into his cloak pocket and pulled out four slim, white objects and handed them out. He explains that these were called Scrolls and that they were the means of communication on Remnant. He also explained that their information would be on there, and they each had a last name they would have to use.
"Wait, don't we need a team name and a leader?" Luxord says.
"Oh yeah, we do, don't we?" Roxas says, looking at the gambler. Zexion smiles.
"Already have that solved. The Superior and I figured that out. You are to be the team leader Roxas and we are Team RAZL," Zexion explains. Roxas just gives a look to the Cloaked Schemer that read 'Are you fuckin kidding me?'
"Urgh, why me?" Roxas groaned.
"Well you ARE the Keyblade Wielder," Axel says, patting Roxas on the head. "But we should probably get to the headmaster guy of this school, yeah?"
"Correct," Zexion says with a nod. As the four start to move, they noticed a young girl with black and red hair approaching them with a rather busty blonde. Soon enough, they were approached by the duo.
"Hey, who are you guys? You're new around here. Are you part of a cult?" the blonde female asks.
"Yeah, we're new, and no we're not a cult. We're new transfer students," Luxord answers smoothly.
"Oh! We can take you to Headmaster Ozpin then! I'm Ruby Rose! And this is my half-sister Yang Xiao Long," the black and red themed girl, now known as Ruby says.
"Luxord Fortunae."
"Axel Brändle, got it memorized?"
"Roxas Lichtenberg."
"Zexion Somnium."
"Well, follow us and we can yet you settled in!" Yang says cheerfully. The four Nobodies follow the pair of sisters to the headmaster's office, their mission now officially beginning in this whole new world.
