Chapter 2: Recall
Zexion opened his empty blue eyes into ocean eyes looking caringly back.
"Have a nice nap Zexion?" Zexion nodded his head and stood up.
"I have work I must get back to." Marluxia stood up with him.
"I understand but I still implore you to use me for the memory recall." Zexion shook his head in disbelief.
"You saw what happened to Xellius and yet you still want to do this." Marluxia smiled.
"Yes, you told me you know how to make it alright, the slow thing." Zexion sighed.
"If I do this . . . Then I want you . . . .never mind, let's go." Zexion opened a portal and the two went into it, they were back in the lab. Zexion waved his hand and a slab lowered to them.
"Get on and lay down." Marluxia obeyed and laid on the slab. Zexion grabbed wires and connected them to Marluxia's head and chest. Zexion hooked some to his head and turned his computer on.
"What does the computer do?" Zexion kept typing.
"It will collect and save all memories to its hard drive, it will also monitor your brain waves, if there is anything wrong it will immediately break the connection so I can wake you up from the recall." Marluxia's chest was pounding.
"Amazing . . .Zexion, I want you too know that I trust you." Zexion smiled and climbed on top of Marluxia. Marluxia blushed and Zexion put his hand on Marluxia's head.
"Relax, this will take some time." The computer popped up the brain waves of Zexion and Marluxia. Marluxia fell asleep and Zexion entered into Marluxia's mind. Zexion looked around and saw empty space.
"Hmm, this is much like Xellius, I need to be careful with how I release the memories." Zexion went to a black door and opened it, inside was a brunette man with ocean eyes. The man was with a woman, she was flirting with him. Zexion felt a twinge of jealousy.
"Aramuil . . . I love you." The brunette gasped in shock.
"I . . . I can't believe it . . ." Zexion rolled his eyes and left out the door.
"Clearly this must be Marluxia and some love interest." Zexion walked down the dark corridors of Marluxia's mind. Zexion turned and opened another door, Zexion went in and saw Marluxia or rather Aramuil with that same girl. They were at a lake with many tree's surrounding the area. Zexion watched as the two ate a picnic. Aramuil seemed to be very in love with this girl. Zexion watched as they talked and occasionally kiss. Zexion wanted to smack the girl but he was nothing but a ghost to them.
"I have something for you, close your eyes." The girl closed her eyes and Aramuil pulled out a small box. Aramuil opened it and inside was a beautiful diamond ring. Zexion was slightly angry but he knew this was his past life so it didn't matter, besides Marluxia wouldn't feel the same way. The girl opened her eyes and gasped in its beauty.
"Marry me?" The girl was in awe as the ring was slid on her finger.
"Oh my god, yes Aramuil!" Zexion had enough and walked out of the room and into the main corridor. Zexion went to the last door and went in, Aramuil was talking with some other guys. Aramuil's fiancé was walking to the group. Zexion looked up and clouds covered the area and blackness was covering the ground. Little creatures jumped out from the darkness and attacked the people.
"Heartless, this must be where Aramuil loses his heart." The creatures attacked relentlessly. Aramuil's fiancé was taken away by one of the creatures.
"Aramuil help!" Aramuil chased after them. The creatures attacked him but he was able to fight them off. Zexion followed them into the woods.
"He is very strong of heart, but this is no surprise otherwise he would not have been a human like nobody." Aramuil chased them but the heartless was farther away and when Aramuil got to them she was fading ,Aramuil was crying for her.
"The girl has lost her heart, I'm sorry Marluxia." The girl completely faded away and a large nobody came into area and attacked Aramuil. Aramuil looked up at the large creature, he was empty now, he has accepted his fate.
"Aramuil's spirit is broken." Aramuil's heart was taken and his body faded away. Zexion left back into the corridor and went further into the mind. Zexion found the main part of his mind where his current identity's memories reside. Zexion approached a center platform and concentrated his power to gather the memories. Zexion closed his eyes and slowly allowed each memory back into Marluxia's mind. The memories flowed back into Marluxia and Zexion was growing tired. As the last of the memories flowed back in a new memory flashed in the room all around. Zexion watched the images before him.
"Impossible! Sora . . . And Riku!" The image was that of Sora and Riku's home. Riku has disappeared into darkness and the large nobody to destroy the last of the island has appeared.
"That was Marluxia's heartless!?" Sora struck down the creature and was soon swept into the dark orb that destroyed the island. Zexion could feel his energy being low. Zexion closed his eyes and ejected himself from Marluxia. Zexion fell off of Marluxia and to the ground. Marluxia awoke and looked around.
"Zexion!? Zexion where are you!?" Marluxia looked down and saw Zexion on the floor. Marluxia got off of the table and went to Zexion's side.
"Zexion! Are you ok?" Zexion opened his eyes lazily.
"Marluxia . . . There . . .your memories . . . Are back." Zexion's eyes fell closed.
"Wait here, I'll get help." Marluxia laid him back down and ran out of the lab into the lower levels to find Vexen and Lexaeus.
"Vexen!" Vexen turned around with disgust.
"Can I help you eleven?" Marluxia was out of breath.
"Please, Zexion . . . He needs help." Vexen and Lexaeus looked at each other and nodded.
"Where is he?"
"He is his lab, B6." They opened portals and left to the room. Marluxia was to drained of energy to open a portal. Marluxia walked back down to the lab to see Lexaeus holding Zexion. Vexen turned to Marluxia accusingly.
"What did you do eleven!?" Marluxia felt anger.
"I did nothing, we were doing an experiment and he collapsed after it was done." Vexen looked at the monitor.
"Memory recall . . . This explains a lot, it requires a lot of energy to do a memory recall on anyone, he should only need a few days rest." Marluxia was relieved to hear that. The computer saved all of the files and shut down on its own. Lexaeus took Zexion to his room so he could rest. Vexen looked at Marluxia.
"What do you remember Eleven?"
"Nothing yet, mostly feelings." Vexen nodded.
"Good, it should take only a couple of days before memories of your past return completely." Marluxia nodded and Vexen left, Marluxia opened a portal and went to his own room for rest.

(Zexion POV, three days later)
That encounter was very tiring, three days was a very long time to be knocked out. I walked into my lab and turned on my computer. I wonder if Marluxia is thankful? He better be, I guess it doesn't matter though. I entered my password and opened the files of the memory recall. I looked through it making sure everything was in order and all of it was there for review later when I noticed the word Organization XIII. I opened the file and the memory played on the screen. It was Larxene and Marluxia, they were talking.
"We will soon destroy the organization, soon we will rule it." Larxene always came off as a masochist.
"Yes the founding six will fall to me and I will rule over all." Larxene laughed her shrill laugh.
"Even Zexy . . . You so love playing with him?" Doubt passed through his eyes.
"I don't know . . .he is different, he treats me like anyone else . . . He is nicer." Larxene frowned.
"Don't fall for the little slut, he has fucked around here like you can't believe . . . Just ask Axel." Anger flashed through his eyes.
"Enough Larxene!" Larxene giggled and opened a portal leaving. The memory ended and I closed the file. They plan to overthrow the organization . . . How can this be, they'll fail, Larxene may be strong but she has no insight. I could sense Vexen calling me, he can be annoying sometimes. I opened a portal and went to see what he needs.
(Normal POV)
Marluxia walked to Zexion's room and knocked. Marluxia waited outside the door for a answer but nothing came. Marluxia waited a little longer until Roxas came out of his room.
"You looking for Zex?" Marluxia looked over at Roxas.
"Yea, you seen him?"
"He is in his lab." Marluxia smiled and opened a portal to the lab. Marluxia walked in looking for Zexion but didn't see him. Marluxia went over to the computer and peaked at the computer. Marluxia sat down and searched through the information. Marluxia looked and found a file called Ienzo, Marluxia clicked on it and memory files opened up. Marluxia looked through them and clicked on one name discovery of heartless. The memory popped up on the screen and played.
A silver haired teen is walking next to a blonde haired man. They opened the doors leading to the lab.
"This is very important Ienzo, this research will lead us to things Ansem could only dream of."
"I know that, I am the one who started this experiment." The blonde haired man turned before opening the door.
"If we fail we will be humiliated, you better hope your theories are correct."
"I understand Even, let's go, it's strange that we haven't heard from anyone of them down there since yesterday." Even turned the handle on the door.
"It is but I'm sure it was because they discovered something while we were away." Even opened the door and darkness shot from the door. The blackness grabbed Even pulling him down into the room. Ienzo ran after hearing Even shriek. Ienzo ran out of the lab and to the main lab of the castle in the chambers of Ansem.
"I must lock down this building!" Ienzo ran into the main lab chamber and typed at the computer as the darkness crept into the room. Ienzo typed at the computer but the darkness surrounded him.
"No . . . no . . . . no!!!!" The darkness took his body and the memory ended abruptly. Marluxia backed away from the computer and bumped into a body. Marluxia turned around and met furious eyes.
"Zexion!" Zexion had darkness surrounding his hand.
"What do you think you are doing at my computer!?" Marluxia backed up.
"I was wondering where you were and I came across the files." A sword appeared in Zexion's hand.
"You had no right to look through the computer."
"I was just curious." Zexion raised his sword to Marluxia's throat.
"Curiosity killed the cat." Marluxia felt sweat drop from his face.
"I'm sorry." The sword disappeared and Zexion moved him out of the way to shut down the computer. Marluxia left Zexion alone and went to his garden. Marluxia laid against the tree and fell asleep. The flashes of his former memories came back to him. Marluxia was happy to see these memories again. Marluxia awoke a couple of hours later to see Zexion looking at him.
"I wanted to apologize for snapping at you Marluxia." Marluxia looked up at Zexion in shock.
"No it was my fault for looking at your private files." Zexion sighed and sat next to Marluxia.
"I didn't want you to know that I was the cause of the heartless . . . If it wasn't for me you would be happily married to a woman." Marluxia smiled.
"But then I would never have met you . . ." Marluxia positioned his face in front of Zexions. " . . . and that is far worse." Marluxia leaned in and kissed Zexion on the lips. They kissed for a few minutes but had to part for air.
"How come your memories are on there?"
"The memory recall for me was shortly after becoming a nobody, it has to do with my abilities." Marluxia nodded.
"There is something I need to show you, that when your memories were recalled . . . Confirmed a theory." Zexion got up with Marluxia and opened a portal to the lab.
