Unknown Location 2:42 A.M.

Ratchet awoke to see three cloaked figures standing around him with their hoods over their heads. He tried to get up and found he couldn't move. His arms and legs were tied to a wooden chair, which made him feel quite uncomfortable. One of the guys lifted their hood off.

He looked very strange. He had long, black hair tied in a ponytail behind his head. Ratchet noted that he had an orange scar on his cheek and an eyepatch over his eye. He began to speak in a laid-back tone of voice.

"Well, well. What do we got here? A little kitty-cat to play with. What's your name? I'll tell you mine. It's Xigbar. Now, you try."

"Wouldn't you like to know." said Ratchet.

"Now, now. Is that any way to talk to your captors?" he asked.

"Is there any way to get you to shut up?" Ratchet said.

Just then, Xigbar grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pushed his face in a bowl-shaped cylinder.

"Yeah, yeah. Just relax. You'll be one of us soon enough." said Xigbar as he tried to keep the Lombax from screaming by burying his face in more.

Ratchet struggled to get his head out of the bowl. When he finally pulled himself free, he immediately started to ask questions.

"What do you mean by 'one of us?' he emphasized using air quotations.

"My fault, little dude. We are Nobodies which are the empty shells of creatures called Heartless.
Understand? Now, meet the other two captors." said Xigbar.

The second figure lifted their hood off. This gut had spiky, red hair with green eyes. He had a slim figure and a beautiful voice escaped his lips.

"Hey there. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?"

"Yeah, I can memorize stuff. Who are you?" he gestured to the guy still wearing his hood.

The third figure lifted his hood off to reveal bluish hair swiping over his face and beautiful blue eyes.

"I'm Zexion."

Everyone one stood silently, until Ratchet broke the silence.

"Sooo... What do you want with me?"

"We're going to turn you into a Nobody. If you weren't listening before, I will freshen your memory. It is someone without a heart." said Xigbar.

"Touching." was all Ratchet could say before Xigbar pushed a button to reveal Sora and Jak,
lying unconscious on the ground.

"Hey! You let those two go!" yelled Ratchet, somehow feeling that this was his fault.

"Relax. Don't hurt yourself over those two. Nobody will miss them." said Zexion.

One thing that Xigbar had not noticed was that Ratchet was cutting the ropes as they were talking. Ratchet broke free and jumped in time to get Jak and Sora and run to the nearest exit.

"Clever little sneak." said Xigbar.

"Shouldn't we... go catch them." asked Zexion.

"I'll go catch them. Don't worry about a thing." said Axel as he brought up his Chackrams and ran the way Ratchet did.
