Gry19: I don't mind at all. ^~^ I think I have all planned with Kh3 at this point. I would still use your ideas in "What if" stories. Like the same one you had with Kixma finding her heartless during the invasion.
Guest: I can totally do that within a "What if" story, that wouldn't be a problem.
I do take requests for any "What if" story!
"Stop this nonsense." Aeleus ordered looking between both Mika and Dilan. Knowing what he missed was important however he knew that Mika was a young woman in which she would have to make her own life choices. What she did as Kixma while he was gone was proof of that. All the Organization had to do was support her and treat her like family instead of acting toxic to her. They knew her; they should have known what worked and what didn't work with getting her to do her job correctly.
Mika turned around with a humph. Ienzo stood up and walked in front of her. "Mika, does Dilan speak the truth?"
Mika couldn't look at him, she looked at the floor. "I...Ienzo..."
He got his answer. She betrayed their family? They were the ones who raised both of them. This doesn't make sense. "Tell the truth. Why did you?"
"I couldn't get eliminated..." Mika held her arms behind her back looking at him, "I couldn't chance it. I was told I failed to get my brother back I would face my end. I tried, I really did, but I failed so I ran. As simple as that. He told me his hideout, so I went there. He knew I was on thin ice on letting Riku go. It turned out, Riku and Naminé were there. I stayed, and started to help them look over Sora. Kixma died protecting them."
"Why did you let Riku go?" Ienzo had to ask.
"It never set well with me when we used him at C.O. And I didn't think that picking him as an enemy would be wise on the Organization's part. You saw his strength, and he has only gotten stronger sense then. And somewhere along the way did the attraction start. I didn't know what it was; I just knew that my chest was heavy when I was near him. I wondered about it, but I kept it to myself. I didn't even think it was attraction..."
"You betrayed our family... the ones that raised you. You didn't see the hidden mission?"
"I didn't at the time. I fell for it..."
"Would you have acted the same if I was there?"
Mika looked right at Ienzo, "You are not blaming yourself for my actions Ienzo. I stopped thinking of things as if the Organization was the center of my world. It was important yes, it's why I stayed despite being confused. I was debating on staying or going, but that's all I did. I didn't run until I felt like I had no choice. After I left, I started to see that that getting Kingdom Hearts was wrong. It wouldn't get our hearts back, the same hearts that was taken from us. Those hearts belonged to other people."
Dilan humphed, "You became weak Mika, ever since you become friends with Roxas. He was..."
"Don't you insult any of my friends!" Mika snapped.
"Stop it," Aeleus spoke.
"You didn't witness her betrayal," Dilan humphed. "She betrayed Xigbar, Luxord, and Demyx the most. Mika, you couldn't trust them enough to let them protect you. They wouldn't have allowed the organization to eliminate you."
"I'm going," Mika declared.
"Running away again?"
Mika put her hands to her side. Everyone was waiting for her to say something. "You are an idiot, Dilan." She spoke. "I'm gonna bring Braig and Isa back. After Xaldin died the Organization... Xemnas wanted me back. I couldn't pay the asking price. I couldn't eliminate Riku as they asked. Xigbar... when he was fading, he looked at me and said, 'You still loyal, eh Pet?' So I'm bringing them back. I know he took me leaving hard, I know he blamed Riku for me leaving... and he has the right to be angry because I know he feels that I betrayed his trust. You however have no right to be angry Dalin. You didn't take an active role in raising me. You were the one who called me useless. But he does! After he is done yelling at me, after we have our heart to heart and he forgives me, we will be back! So don't assume what you don't know!"
"Since when did you start doing the dirty work?" Ienzo asked.
"I'm not sure." Mika gave him a soft smile, "Since I left maybe. Feels more rewarding."
"And where would you start?" Aeleus asked the young woman.
"Uh... I must have been around the king to long. I have made bonds without a heart, so I'll just follow those bonds with my heart." She stepped to Ienzo. "I don't know how you feel... may be mad or disappointed in me. But I will make things right. Ienzo... we will be apart for a while yet, but when I return... our family will be complete."
Ienzo nodded his head. "This time, I'll be the one waiting."
Mika found herself in front of a tower. She felt a strong magical presence. The stars in the night sky seemed to add to it. Why did her heart take her to this world? She walked up to the building. She knocked on the door, since it was rude not to. She didn't know who lived here, but maybe whoever does may have some answers. The doors opened up and she walked inside. She didn't see anyone. "Hello?" she asked with no response. She followed the staircase all the way to the top. There were more doors, but they were already opened. Inside was a desk in the middle, a pair of windows, and many bookcases. An old man was inside who had a long grey goatee. He wore a blue robe and hat that had stars and crescent moons on it. She walked into the room.
"Not many knock before entering." The man spoke. "My name is Yen Sid."
"I'm Mika," She spoke. "I used to be a Nobody named Kixma."
"You have many questions." He sat down.
She didn't know if she should sit as well, so she just stood still. "Do you know who Riku and Sora are?"
"Yes."
"Where they successful in bringing Xemnas down?"
"Yes, of course." He answered once more.
"Why didn't the other Nobodies recompleted? We are missing two, Braig and Isa."
"The hearts maybe over taken. They can be saved however, they may be a part of this bigger plot."
"Bigger plot?" Mika had to ask.
Yen Sid had a chair set up in front of his desk, "Please sit."
She sat down. "Thank you."
"You remember Xehanort?" he asked. She nodded her head. "He was a young man who had big ambitions. He had a curious mind, and felt trapped on his home world. He was interested in The Great Keyblade War. This war was where Keyblade Users had fought for the X-blade. This X-blade controls Kingdom Hearts, and they wanted the light of Kingdom Hearts. Not much is known about the war. Xehanort, no matter his name was always after Kingdom Hearts. Ansem, Xemnas. His original self tried nearly 11 years ago."
"Why, for the light? Original self?" Mika asked.
"Yes, for part. He wants to recreate The Keyblade War. He was older than what you knew him. He took a young man's body."
Mika thought back to Ventus and Terra. How she knew Xehanort took Terra's body. After all Xemnas told her himself just to get her back in line after Zexion's death. "Terra."
"You know him?"
"Yeah... He once saved me from those Inversed, and then Ven saved me and my best friend."
"11 years ago Xehanort was looking for a way to get Kingdom Hearts. Terra, Ventus, and a young woman named Aqua travelled to stop him. It was revealed that Ventus's heart was split in half, one he kept was the light half. The one of darkness created a new being, known as Vinitas. Ventus was saved by Sora..."
"That's how they are connected..." Mika thought out loud. "That's why Roxas looked like Ven instead of Sora."
"Yes," Yen Sid conformed. "Vinitas was the one who was responsible for the Inversed. They used the creatures to get Ventus stronger so he and Vinitas can clash, and recreate the X-blade. Xehanort knew his age would hold him back, so he took Terra, make his darkness grow and made him his vessel."
"What happened?"
"Xehanort succeed in taking Terra's body as you know, but failed in creating the X-blade. However Ventus's heart is now asleep."
"And Aqua's role?"
"She tried to save them, now she is trapped in the Realm of Darkness."
Mika thought things over. "So... what's my part as a whole?"
"You were Xemnas's pawn."
"Xemnas said he needed me, to protect the new members... He is replacing or creating a new Organization. Or that's what he told me before. Though I am not with a new Organization, and the more I think about the surer I am that Braig and Isa are with this new Organization." Mika looked around. "Any ideas what's going on?"
"Xehanort... I'm not sure at the moment. However, we are going to save Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. First off, we need new Keyblade Masters."
Mika blinked, "New Keyblade Masters..."
"As we speak, both Sora and Riku are taking the Mark of Mastery Exam. They are in the sleeping worlds unlocking the seven sleeping keyholes to wake these worlds up. That way they can have the power to wake up Ventus. Please note, the exam is usually done differently." Yen Sid explained. "Right now, I cannot locate them. I believe Xehanort may have hijacked it."
"Then I gotta help." Mika couldn't just sit still, not when Riku may be in danger.
"You cannot. If Xehanort does indeed want you, it would be wise for you to lay low."
Mika sighed, that wouldn't stop her. Besides if they wanted her would she be there with them? She thought she should get one last question. "Do you know where my brother is? His name..."
"I know who he is. He is learning how to use the Keyblade somewhere safe. He wishes to save Isa and with the keyblade he wouldn't have to rely on the darkness."
"So I see..."
"What will you do?"
Mika put her hands on her lap. "I prefer to heal, but I'll fight if I have to. I told Ienzo that I'll bring back Braig and Isa, so our family will be complete again. Despite being played by Xehanort, Braig did help raise me. I know he took my betrayal hard. I want to make things right. To be honest though, I didn't even have a plan. I knew I made bonds with Riku and his friends, so I followed my heart. Now that I'm here, I'm not sure where to begin. I don't think a keyblade suits me. Personally, I'm not sure the responsibility should be mine to hold. It's hard enough just being a healer. Having lives on my hands plus the responsibility of saving the worlds it's a bit much."
Yen Sid closed his eyes, "I see. Those healing abilities are what Xehanort is after. They must be impressive. Riku has informed me your weapon is a plush toy of the Nobody Twilight Thorn."
"For now, again I fight with magic."
"What would happen if you run out of magic, and any refill magic items?"
"Each time I take a step my magic refills a bit."
"If you cannot move fast enough? A weapon you need is high in magic, and one you can defend yourself. A mere plush will leave you open when your magic is gone."
Mika stood up understanding. "I'm going to the moogles then. Since Xehanort wants me, he won't be pleased."
