Part 2 of 3
A/N: So, re-doing Part 2, now, because I forgot about Olympus in Part 1 and was too lazy to go back and do it anyway. We see more of Xaken's other self coming out, and he gets to be pretty bad-ass.
Disclaimer: If you don't know this already, you haven't been paying attention.
--
As they were in no hurry to get to Olympus, the Gummi Ship rocked slowly as it crawled through the strange space between the worlds. Chip and Dale, the chipmunk engineers, had modified the Gummi Ship, enabling it to set its own course for a world, freeing Donald and Goofy to play a game of cards. Sora and Xaken were sitting in the back, holding hands. Xaken still had that evil little smirk on his face, and Sora still had his face turned away, as he was sure it was bright red, as he could feel the heat.
"Sora?"
"Yeah?"
When Sora turned around to face Xaken, the other lunged forward suddenly, and planted a soft kiss on the tip of his nose. Sora seemed shock and his face invented a whole new shade of red. As Sora was just about to say something, Xaken got to his feet, pulled Sora from his chair, and then leapt forward, wrapping his arms and legs around Sora's torso and tackling him to the floor. "GLOMP!"
Donald and Goofy, who saw the whole thing with wide eyes, just shook their heads and went back to their card game. "Kids," they muttered, and Goofy dealt out a new hand.
Sora now found Xaken's grinning face inches from his own, Xaken's gray orbs glinting behind his glasses. "I-I-I d-d-…um, y-you h-h-ha…." Xaken tilted his head to the side, unable to understand Sora through his stuttering. "Yes?"
"L-lip ring…nice…"
"Oh, you noticed that, huh? Dunno where it came from but it's kinda cool."
"D-doesn't it, um…h-hurt?"
"No. Actually, I'm barely ever aware that its in."
Xaken was in a rather mischievous mood. How far can I take this before he gets too embarrassed? Let's see. With a smirk, he slid his hands down to Sora's waist, then pushed his shirt up, exposing his ribs. "H-hey, what are y-you…n-no, d-d-don't, I'm tick-tickli-" Sora couldn't get out anymore than that, as Xaken began to merciless tickle Sora's bare skin, with his face buried in the Keyblade wielder's chest. Sora tried to hold in his giggling, but he could help it and it burst out of him, while he squirmed under Xaken to try to get away.
Then Xaken gave Sora a reprieve, only to grab his waist and pull him so that their hips met. Xaken could feel Sora's arousal, and Sora's face looked as though it held all of the blood in his body. Xaken wondered if Sora had ever even kissed anyone. He decided to test that theory, but first took it a step further. Smiling, he placed his lips at Sora's neck, and gave it a little nip. A small squeak escaped Sora's lips. Goofy and Donald, having watched the whole tickling thing, wanted to interrupt, but the chipmunks waved their hands at them to tell them to stay put. Perverted little voyeurs.
Grinning like a jackass, Xaken set his orbs above Sora's, then leaned in to press his lips softly against the others. Sora let out a little moan, and part his lips when he felt the tip of Xaken's tongue run lightly over his. Then he felt his lower lip pulled through Xaken's lips, who pressed down a bit more, as a small bell rang out from the Gummi Ship's dashboard. A voice filtered through a small speaker, and Xaken held his position, listening intently.
"Time until touchdown in Olympus: Twenty seconds."
Xaken felt Sora squirm under him, and pushed himself up slightly to let the taller boy slide out from under him, push himself to his feet, and dash over to the window, seeing the world of Olympus come closer and closer. "We're here already?!" he shouted, half in excitement, half in disappointment. Donald and Goofy tried to ignore the very conspicuous bulge in Sora's shorts. Xaken joined them a few seconds later, smoothing out his coat. "So, what's in Olympus?
Sora turned to him with a grin. "Herc, Meg, and Phil!"
Xaken tilted his head to the side, but before Sora could answer, the Gummi Ship shuddered as it landed, the door opened, and Sora, Donald and Goofy sprinted out to meet their friends. He looked to Chip and Dale, who shrugged and winked. A bit disturbed, he quickly backed out of the Gummi Ship, and turned around to see a very tall, very muscular man with short brown hair and blue eyes looking down at him, a smile on his handsome face. "Hello. Who are you?"
Sora spoke from the man's side. "This is our friend, Xaken. Xaken, this is Hercules."
Hercules held his hand out, and Xaken shook it, feeling as though his hand was being crushed in a vise. "Nice…to…met you," he said between pained grunts. Hercules let go of him and gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry about that. Xaken, this is Megara, and Phil, my trainer."
Megara was a young, beautiful woman with long, dark brown hair, and Phil a short, chubby goat-man with red hair. He was nearly bald. "It's nice to meet you," said Megara. "Hey, how ya doin'?" said Phil, barely noticing the Nobody. Phil turned to Herc, grabbed his cape, and dragged him off towards a large arena. "Come on, kid, ya got trainin'!" Herc waved goodbye to the others, and followed the chubby satyr. Megara turned to Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Xaken.
"Have you guys come because of trouble, or a visit?" asked Megara.
"A bit of both," replied Sora. "Seen anything suspicious?"
Megara shook her head. "Nothing more than usual."
Suddenly, several ear-splitting shrieks echoed into the sky, along with thumpings and crashings in the arena. Sora turned to the others, then ran for the arena with Donald, Goofy and Xaken in tow. When they got to the arena, they saw the cause of the racket; Hercules battling a giant hydra! The beast lashed its head at him on a long neck, trying to grab him up in its razor-sharp fangs. Hercules jumped off to the side, dodging the head, and then slicing it off. The body shuddered in pain, reared up, and two new heads sprouted from the wound!
In awe, the group of friends watched as Hercules fought. He tried repeatedly to kill it by cutting its heads off, but every time one was severed, two more would take its place. Ten heads were now weaving a hypnotic dance as they lashed out at the god-like man, who was now fending them off with his fists instead of his sword. But Hercules was in trouble. He couldn't find an opening through the attacks, and would soon begin to tire.
Suddenly, an idea came to Xaken, who, ignoring the others' worried cries, ran out onto the battle field. He saw a winged horse in the air and gave a loud whistle. It flew down, and seemed to recognize his friendly intent. Allowing him to climb on its back, the Pegasus rose into the air, and Xaken jumped down, straight for a head that saw him and was waiting to rip him apart.
As he neared it, his Hidden Daggers appeared in his palms. Merging them together into a black zanbatouA/N: Like Cloud's Buster Sword, he swung the sword, which was larger than his body, down at the head, ten feet away from striking it. Instead, a black shadow-like substance roared out from the blade and forced its way down the hydra's throat and into its body. The monster became still, shuddering and convulsing, the yes in every head rolling up so only yellow remained. It gave another great shudder, fell to the ground with a crash, and was still. The Pegasus caught Xaken as he fell and landed lightly on the ground.
Xaken turned to the others, who were just stunned. "That…that was another Hidden thing, wasn't it?" Kane nodded, and let his zanbatou fade into nothing. Hercules, exhausted, almost got a word about, before collapsing to the ground and snoring loudly. Xaken looked down at the tired hero, then shrugged. "Seems as if everything is fine here. Should we go?"
Sora gave a nod. "I think so. If there are no Heartless or Nobodies…" He looked to Megara, who shook her head. "Then we should go." The others followed Sora back to the ship, after saying goodbye to Megara and a stunned Phil. The door closed, the Gummi Ship shuddered, then lifted into the air and took off into the strange space. Donald and Goofy took the wheels of the ship, and Xaken and Sora sat in the back, Xaken pulling Sora close to cuddle him, causing the Keyblade wielder to blush.
The Gummi Ship, speeding onward through the swirling colors of space, was suddenly struck by a violent jolt, shuddering the massive vessel. Sora and Xaken both seemed to come out of a reverie, Sora getting to his feet, that key-like weapon appearing once more in his hand.
"Sora, what is that," asked Xaken.
"The Keyblade. A weapon with the power to open or close any lock, physical or otherwise, that will only let me wield it."
How…interesting. The Gummi Ship shuddered again, and they could hear loud, powerful blows raining on the top. A long, thin sword pierced the roof, slashed a gash through it, and a pair of massive hands tore the section of roof right off the ship.
They were again surrounded by Nobodies, and these ones didn't look like they would ever think of running. The humanoid, masked, sword-bearing Nobodies called Samurai were joined with another of the high-ranking Nobodies; the massive, warhammer-wielding behemoth called a Berserker, easily three times Sora's size. The Berserker was holding onto the Gummi ship now with one hand to keep up with them, his other grabbing his hammer, ready to rain down punishing blows. The Samurai drew their swords, and Sora was doing something with his Keyblade. He removed and replaced some kind of small chain. Now the weapon instantly turned all-black, with a pointed, square hand guard and a wicked blade. Goofy and Donald came running from the front of the ship, shield and scepter held high for the fight.
The Samurai were almost as tall as Sora, and he was somewhere around 5'6. One Samurai raised his sword in a straight, downward slash, and Sora blocked the blow by raising his Keyblade and blocking the sword with the shaft of the magical weapon, while Donald came from behind, scepter raised high, and lighting shot downward from nowhere, obliterating the Nobody on the spot. Another snuck up behind Goofy, or tried to, as the dog suddenly whipped his body around, shield held flat out, slicing the Nobody across the chest with the razor-sharp edge, killing it. Two rushed in at Xaken, and, with a lunge, each aimed to pierce his chest with their swords. He put a hand on the back of his chair, and pulled himself up, turning into the maneuver, so that he now held himself up in a handstand on the back of the chair, now skewered by the Samurai's swords. My, my…I didn't realize how strong I am.
Yet another Samurai came at Xaken, as he was facing the first two attacking Nobodies. "Kane, look out!" Goofy shouted a warning at the teen, and he pushed himself straight up from the chair, narrowly missing a side slash that would have taken off his hands. As he made his small little hop, with a sudden, strange burst of speed, he flipped himself right side up, and came down upon the attacking Samurai, delivering a powerful axe-kick to his head. As the creature staggered back, stunned, he pulled its sword from its grasp and stabbed it in the chest. Goofy hurled his shield at the other two, taking their heads off as the weapon sped through the air, spinning through their necks and moving like a boomerang; back into Goofy's waiting hand. Donald turned to the last Samurai left, which charged right at him. A jet of magical flame shot from his scepter, burning the Nobody to a crisp and killing it in a flash of light.
Their thrill of victory was short-lived, as the still-present Berserker swung his hammer into the side of the ship, jolting the vessel again. Donald aimed the Blizzara spell at the beast, but it harmlessly glanced off. Goofy threw his shield at its neck, but the weapon bounced right off. Sora, seeing his friends' failure, bravely rushed toward the Nobody. But it merely swatted him away with its hand. Xaken calmly walked toward the Nobody, looking up into its face. "Listen, you. I'll give you one chance to run away. If you don't, I will end you."
The Berserker seemed to laugh, and Xaken heard another, more powerful un-voice echoing through his mind; there, but not; audible, yet silent. "Lord Sai'x commands us, Lord Xaken. We must obey." Sai'x? The Berserker lowered his hand down, quickly, to crush Xaken under his palm. He merely leapt back, light on his feet, and then forward, landing on the back of its hand. With a smirk, he ran up the Nobodies arm, feeling that warmth in his palms again.
Again, the black daggers appeared in his hands, and that voice echoed through his head again. Similar, but apart from the Nobodies that speak to him. "Think…claymore." I was gonna do another zanbatou, but ok. As soon as the thought entered his head, the daggers clanged together as though drawn by a magnet, melding and morphing. They became a singular weapon, a claymore as long as Xaken's body, powerful, yet, strangely, not heavy in the least.
He stepped up onto the Berserker's shoulder, and pushed off, landing on top of the Gummi. Now he faced the creature in the strange, swirling space between the worlds. With a roar, it swung its massive hammer at his body. The attempt was laughable, and indeed, a small giggle of laughter escaped him as he leapt from the ship, landing on an asteroid. The Berserker swung again, and he jumped back off, the hammer crashing through the rock. He descended, bringing the claymore down in a diagonal slash, cutting through its neck and shoulder. It spilled no blood, nothing, just a rip in its husk of a body. Its other hand came up and swatted him away.
Spinning his body in midair, he landed on another asteroid in time to see the Berserker's hammer coming for him again. With a small growl of anger, he raised the claymore, slashing upward, and cutting through its hammer, breaking it into pieces. The Nobody gave a roar of pain as he cut away half of its power. Pushing off from the asteroid, he lunged forward with his sword, stabbing between the middle of its eyes. The sword disappeared as the Berserker fell away from the ship, roaring the last cry it would ever make. Xaken fell through the hole in the roof the Berserker had made, as the others put their own weapons away.
"What was that about," quacked Donald.
"That's never happened before. I didn't think Nobodies could attack here," said Sora.
"It could be because of me," replied Xaken, "The Berserker told me it was following the orders of 'Lord Sai'x', whoever that is."
Sora and the other two gasped, and Goofy stepped forward. "Sai'x is another Nobody in the Organization!"
"Hmm…Then it must be me. My former friends must want me dead very, very much to be sending squads of high-ranking Nobodies at me. And I'm getting you three mixed into it. I'm sorry."
Sora shook his head, quieting Donald before the duck could speak. "We can't blame you. I offered to have you join us. It's my fault."
"No, it isn't. The only ones at fault are the Organization."
"Have you remembered anything else about the Organization," asked Sora, but Xaken shook his head.
"Nothing."
"You're an amazing fighter," Sora told him. Both teens sat in the chairs in the back of the ship, while Donald and Goofy took their places driving. As Xaken replied to Sora, he watched the two chipmunks repairing the giant hole in the roof. "Thank you. I actually amazed myself; I didn't know I could do any of that." Xaken gave Sora a smile that brought a faint red color under his eyes. Xaken just smirked.
He should have realized, with the way events were currently going, something else was bound to go wrong. And it did, with frightening quickness. As the chipmunks, named Chip and Dale, were welding metal to the hole in the roof, sparks suddenly flew from the gas tank they used to fuel the fire. They paused, then they seemed to decide it was a one-time irregularity, for they went right back to work.
Sparks flew from the top of the tank, more and faster this time, and caught Xaken's attention. He had a split second to act. "C-crap! Get down!" Grabbing Sora by the collar of his shirt, he threw himself and the young hero to the ground as the tank above them, easily the size of a hackeysack, exploded.
The explosion was enough to rock the ship just slightly and nearly singe Xaken's hair , but, from above, bits of chipmunk and blood rained down on their heads as the blast echoed inside and outside of the ship. Donald gave a yell, startling Goofy, who jerked on the wheel of the ship, and collided with an oncoming asteroid. The right side of the ship tore away in chunks and fragments. The only one hit by the shards of broken ship were Donald, which sliced open the side of his face and torso, spilling blood over the side of his body, organs spilling out and landing wetly on the floor. In an unbelievable amount of pain, Donald summoned enough strength to look over at Goofy, then gave a great, rasping breath, and was still.
Xaken held Sora's face to the floor, to spare him the sight of his friends' deaths, and held his other hand out. "Goofy, grab my hand, now!" The dog, tears streaming from his eyes, threw himself over his chair, landing hard and breaking his nose, with just enough reach to grab Xaken's gloved hand, slick with chipmunk blood. As the rest of the ship began to twist and break apart, showering them in fragments of ship, causing superficial cuts that still bled somewhat badly, a shroud of black and purple shadows enveloped them and faded with them as the entire Gummi Ship exploded.
The first to awaken was Sora. He pushed himself to his knees, feeling extremely weak, and looked up at the sky. Dark as a Heartless. Their wounds had stopped bleeding some time ago, and were now starting the slow healing process. He looked over, and saw two bodies lying on the ground. Goofy was three feet away, breathing, but unconscious, with his shield covering his head like a bamboo hat. And inches from him was Xaken, also alive, bloodied, his glasses on the ground, inches from his face. But Sora didn't see Donald anywhere. He pushed himself to his feet, looking around for a sign of the duck. "Donald? Donald! Are you here?"
Worried, he thought that maybe Donald had woke before him, and gone to Merlin's house to get help. They were lying in the town square of Radiant Garden, no more than a large square sunken into the ground with some junk pushed away in a corner. He pulled himself up out of the sunken ground, and took off towards Merlin's house. No sooner his he get past Uncle Scrooge's sea salt ice cream store, than he ran right into Squall Leonhart, a tall, muscular, brown-haired man wielding a sword shaped like a gun. He wore a white shirt under a short, black jacket lined with white fur, black pants, and heavy boots. He was an excellent fighter, and one of Sora's friends in Radiant Garden. "So, you're the cause of the trouble again, Sora!" The smile on the handsome fighters' face faded when he took in Sora's appearance. "God, what happened? Why are you covered in blood? Where are Donald and Goofy?"
"Sora shook his head." Goofy and Xaken are badly hurt, didn't Donald come to you to get help?" Leon, as he liked to be called, looked toward the Square, then back to Sora's anxious face. "A woman was screaming about corpses in the Square, so I came to investigate. I haven't seen Donald at all. Who is Xaken? Sora, what the fuck is going on?"
Sora shook his head, and then took Leon's hand and pulled him toward the Square. "I can't explain now, Goofy and Xaken need help! Come on!" Leon nodded, and went with Sora to his friends. Leon pocketed Xaken's glasses and lifted Goofy onto his shoulders. "Sora, you get the small one, he'll be lighter than Goofy." Sora nodded, and lifted Xaken onto his shoulders. Then they took off running for Merlin's house.
Leon burst through the door, startling the others inside the house; Aerith, Tifa, Cid, and of course, Merlin himself. "Goodness!" he exclaimed, "What is all this about?" Leon set Goofy on the bed, while Sora gently lowered Xaken to lie on the table. Leon took the Nobody's glasses and set them next to him. "They need help, Merlin. Can you do anything?" The old wizard crossed the room over to the table, and bent low to examine the strange boy in his house. He opened an eyelid, took his head in his hands, turning it this way and that. "Hmm, maybe." He set his hand on Xaken's back, lifting him into a sitting position and pushing his head forward to get a look at the back of his neck. There, he had been branded with the mark of the Nobodies, and the symbol of the Organization. Merlin gasped and dropped Xaken back on the table, getting a sharp reply from Sora, but the old man ignored it. "Nobody! You brought a No Body into my house?! This boy is extremely dangerous! Sora, you should know better!"
Sora shook his head, while the others stared incredulously at him. "You don't understand, the situation is…different!"
"How?"
"I…I can't explain it, really. Xaken would be able to tell you the full story."
Leon stepped forward. "Then why don't we ask him," he said. Sora looked over, and Xaken was sitting on the table, putting on his glasses, which slightly magnified his deep, gray eyes, making them sparkle.
Sora ran over to the table and pulled Xaken into a hug, drawing a grunt of pain. "Xaken, you need to tell my friends everything that happened. And what happened to Donald?" Xaken looked into Sora's blue eyes, and shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't know," he said gently, but he was lying; he felt it would be better that Sora hear it from Goofy. Before the Nobodies attacked the Gummi, Sora could sense a different kind of personality in Xaken. It was almost wicked, but somehow, he found himself strangely attracted to the Nobody. It confused him at first, but then he really thought about it. He'd been around Kairi a lot, but he liked her only as a friend. He couldn't think of any girl he liked like that. And a lot of times, during training, he would find himself staring at Riku's toned body. Then he was brought out of his thoughts by the others talking.
Merlin's wand was out, pointed at Xaken. "What are you doing with Sora," he was asking. The others were tense, as well, but not as hostile. Xaken slid from the table, straightening his coat.
"I'll try to make it short. My name is Xaken, I'm a Nobody, and we think I'm a member of the Organization."
"You think," repeated Leon.
"Yes. I have amnesia, and I can't remember much. What I do remember throws suspicion on why I was a member." Merlin still had his wand steady, rubbing his chin with his other hand. "There are only thirteen members of the Organization." "No. Apparently, there are fourteen. I'm Number XIV. Or was. I don't want to be a member any longer. The Gummi Ship exploded."
"Wh-what?! B-but…I," spluttered Merlin, "How? How did this happen?"
"Nobodies attacked us. Six Samurai and one Berserker, sent by Sai'x. The big one ripped a hole in the roof, and I took him out. The chipmunks tried to fix it, but…" He turned to Sora, sorrow evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Sora. When I pulled you down to the ground, I saw their tank was about to explode. There wasn't time to save them," he continued, trying not to let himself be distracted from what he needed to say, despite the tears in Sora's eyes, "And when that happened, Goofy must have gotten scared. We rammed into an asteroid and ripped open the side of the ship. Goofy was able to get to me in time before the ship exploded. I was able to use the darkness to bring us here, to Radiant Garden." Merlin was now tracing his wand first over Sora, then Goofy, and Xaken last, healing their wounds. He also made sure to magically wipe the blood from their bodies. Goofy awoke, and Sora immediately went over to him. "Goofy, what happened to Donald?" The dog shook his head, experimentally, trying to get rid of his grogginess, but then his eyes opened wide and fresh tears spilled out from them.
"Sora," he whispered, "I'm so sorry. When Donald yelled, he scared me, and I accidentally flew into an asteroid. Donald was…was killed by fragments of the ship." The horror of it was enough to bring Sora to his knees, racking his body with sobs. Goofy lowered his head, but Xaken, bringing up his courage, walked over to Sora and knelt behind him, slipping his arms over his shoulders. Sora didn't know or care at first, but when he recognized the dark red leather, he took hold of one gloved hand and leaned back against Xaken. "It'll be OK, Sora. It will, really." He ran his other hand through Sora's wild brown hair, and gently kissed the back of his head, so he could hide his face in Sora's hair, keeping the growing smirk on his face hidden. The others watched the three, confused, but touched by the two new friends.
After a few minutes, Xaken slipped out from Sora's grip and pulled him to his feet, holding him steady. "Merlin, is there a private room that Sora can grieve in?" The old wizard was at first distracted, but pulled himself out of it long enough to use his wand to create an extra room for his house. Xaken led Sora into the room, while Goofy had fallen asleep again from exhaustion. Xaken shut the door softly behind them, and led Sora over to the bed, sitting him down on it, and looked around. The room the wizard made was simple; a bed, a dresser, and a closet. As Sora tried to stop the flow of tears, Xaken searched in his coat for anything he could have missed.
Underneath, he wore a tight black sleeveless, and even tighter leather pants, the same red as his coat, gloves and boots. He found a small pack of dried food, only then realizing how hungry he had been since he'd met Sora, not even a day ago. Strange, how it had seemed like a week had already passed. He offered some to Sora. "Eat this, it'll help." Sora nodded and took the food, without eating it, and Xaken sat down next to him. "I'm sorry about your friend, Sora."
"Dangerous stuff has happened to us before, but I never thought it would actually happen."
"Nobody expects to die, Sora. When its time, it just happens."
He wiped a tear from Sora's face, who finally took a small bite of his food. "Sora, tell me how this all happened. You chasing the Organization, I mean."
Sora nodded, and pushed his hair from his face. "We didn't start out with the Organization. Me and my friend, Riku, our other friend Kairi had disappeared first, and then Riku disappeared right after her. I had no idea what to do, but somehow, I ended up talking to King Mickey."
"King Mickey?"
"Uh-huh. He told me about an evil man named 'Ansem', who was using the Heartless for wicked things, and if I found him, I would find Kairi. He asked Donald and Goofy to come with me. We traveled to different worlds, more than you've seen, and met a lot of people. Some of them became our friends. We unlocked the worlds and defeated the Heartless. I had to fight my friend, Cloud, once, and a witch named Maleficent who could become a dragon. When I finally found Ansem, he had taken control of Riku, and I had to fight him off. I defeated Riku, who became Ansem, the Heartless of a man who's actual named was Xehanort.
I turned into a Heartless too, but when Kairi shared her heart with me, I was able to come back. I made a Nobody, and so did Kairi, a girl named Naminé. Ansem was defeated by the power of the light, but his Nobody, Xemnas, is still alive. We've defeated a lot of Nobodies of the Organization. Demyx, Xaldin, Marluxia, and a few others." Each name spoken brought a jolt to Xaken's stomach as a mental picture of each Nobody formed in his head.
"Now we're chasing Axel, and trying to get to a place called The World That Never Was. The last of the Nobodies are there, and so is Kairi. Axel kidnapped her. I also believe Riku is still alive."
"I see."
"But the world is still blocked off for some reason, and we couldn't figure out how to unlock it. Not even the Keyblade could help me this time." Xaken scratched his head, thinking.
"Well, maybe you need the power of darkness to unlock this one. If so, I can help with that. And we can make them pay for what they've done."
"I don't like revenge, but they have to be stopped so they can't hurt anyone ever again."
"You're right, Sora." Xaken got to his feet. "Look, this entire day has put me on edge. I'm going to go check for signs of Nobodies, and I'll come back." Sora nodded, and Xaken left the room, shutting the door behind him. "He'll be fine," he said, before the others could ask, and said, "Be right back," leaving the house. He got out into the cool night air, and began a prowl around the neighborhood, taking his Journal from his pocket.
He wrote 'Xemnas Report 15' at the top, and began to write down everything that had happened. No sooner had he got to Donald's death, when his brain felt like a pulse ran through it, and his vision blurred. He shook it off, and tried to continue writing. But then agony exploded like a horrible flower of pain blooming in his head, and it felt like it would split open as a painful cache of memories began to pour into his head, taking him to his knees. Everything went black as the reel began to play in his head…
There it was, the Dusk he controlled, sitting on his XIV throne, listening to the conversation. He was hidden, invisible, undetectable, sitting on Larxene's vacated seat, as he heard orders being given to Roxas, the Nobody with the fake Keyblades. Then orders were given to his Dusk, and Xaken had to throw his voice to make it appear like the Dusk was talking. He thought he could detect a look of suspicion thrown his way, just for a second, from Axel, but then he was smiling again, looking lost in his own world. His Dusk slid from his throne, and he enveloped the creature in darkness…
Now he was watching Xaldin, quite mad from Cabin Fever, racing around the castle with a pair of scissors and a butcher's knife, while everyone tried to stay out of his way. Then came Xigbar, with both eyes intact, who ran right into Xaldin, the scissors sinking into his eye socket, the knife leaving a deep cut in Xigbar's face…
Now Xigbar, his face wrapped in bandages, was chasing Xaldin around the halls, shooting him in the ass and yelling "How do you like it, you bastard?!" while everyone else was laughing their heads off…
He was sitting at a desk, performing various secretary-like duties for Xemnas. And the most important of those were writing the 'Xemnas Reports', on the various activities of the members, and his suspicions on what they might be doing. Xemnas stood behind him, intimidating, imposing, as he told Xaken what to write…
Now he was back, once more, in that long, empty hallway, as the silence pressed in around him. Where were the others? Why wasn't Xigbar causing his usual mayhem? Axel not setting someone or something aflame (which was really worrying, because he couldn't seem to go five minutes without torching something)? Xaldin not crazy and stabbity, or drunken and stabbity, or all three? He turned a corner, and there, standing in front of him, Xemnas. He could see, in the darkness of his hood, a smirk on the face of his superior. He wasn't ready, he hadn't prepared, and it was too sudden for him to plan it out. Now he was trying to run, but Xemnas was far too fast, he felt a sharp blow to the back of his neck and now he was sinking, sinking into eternal night, lost, with no hope of salvation…
And just like that, he came too, and all of his memories, his sense of self, every bit of his came rushing back, and with frightening clarity, he remembered who he was, what he wanted, and what he still had to do. But Sora and Goofy…Donald died…they were becoming friends, and he wasn't sure whether he still wanted to do the job he had been given.
But before he had long to think it out, he heard a chuckle above him, and got to his feet, rubbing his head and looking up to see Number VII standing above him; Axel, The Flurry of Dancing Flames. He was the one who had taken out three Nobodies for plotting against the Organization, but his motives themselves were cloaked in mystery. He was smiling down at Xaken, but it wasn't a friendly smile. He was threatening him. "Xaken! I see you've recovered your memory a bit sooner than we expected! Pity…this makes you useless for what we want," he said, snapping a scowl down at Xaken, who, paled. "No, Axel…no, I can still do it!" Axel stepped to the side as a hooded figure came into Xaken's view.
Xemnas. "You had better," said The Superior, "Or your life will be forfeit. You will lead him to us, you will betray him, and you will take the Keyblade and complete Kingdom Hearts. You alone have the power now to do this, Number XIV. Do not fail us." The two men stepped back into the darkness, leaving Xaken alone.
Damn…if I don't do this, they will kill me. If I do, I might have to kill Sora. And even if I don't, he would never forgive me. Xaken stood for a long time in contemplation.
How could he think of doing that to Goofy? And Sora…he really liked Sora. No, not like. He loved Sora, he loved everything about him.
The realization of his death, before getting the thing he wanted more than anything, hit him like a stampede. His way forward was clear. There is only one choice left to me. I have to do this. I'm sorry, Sora. He felt sickened, disgusted with himself and his cowardice. Hating himself, he entered the house and, ignoring the others, walked over to Sora's room, wanting more time with Sora before they left.
As the young hero walked towards the door, it suddenly opened, and Xaken stepped into the room, shutting the door behind him. Before Sora could say a word, gloved hands were placed at his hips, and he was pulled close as the Nobody's lips met his in a sudden, gentle embrace. Sora didn't object, but made a small sound of confusion as he felt himself being gently pushed down onto the bed. Xaken pulled away from the kiss, staring into Sora's eyes. "Sora…Sora, I want you. Now."
"O-ok," said Sora, who didn't know what to do, so he let Xaken take control. Xaken removed Sora's small jacket and shirt, tossing them to the floor. Stripping off his gloves, Xaken tossed those as well, and unzipped his coat, which joined the little pile. Smirking, he pushed Sora onto his back and leaned over the hero, trailing a string of soft kisses from his neck to his chest.
Xaken ran the tip of his tongue around Sora's nipple, getting a small moan from him. Then he ran his tongue on his skin down to his stomach, grabbing the waist of Sora's shorts and undoing the button. He yanked the zipper down and opened his shorts…and was hit in the face by a fleshy baseball bat!
"Holy…crap…" Xaken was stunned. Sora had to be at least a foot, maybe thirteen inches! Xaken was pretty big himself, at ten inches, which seemed overlarge compared to his small body, but nobody he met was as big as Sora!
"Wh-what?" Sora raised his head, wondering if there was a problem. But Xaken, eyes gleaming and a grin on his face, spit into his palms and worked his hands over Sora's length, softly twisting his hands. He couldn't even touch his fingers to his palms! He slid his lips over the head and swirled his tongue around it, causing Sora to gasp loudly and squirm under Xaken. He tried to push his hips up on instinct, but Xaken placed a hand on his stomach and held him in place with surprising strength.
He slid his free hand down towards the base of Sora's cock, sliding his lips past the head and taking more of Sora, slowly, inch by inch, into his mouth. Sora felt the heat of Xaken's mouth envelope him, and his tongue sliding over every bit of skin it could reach. Sora gripped the bedsheets tightly, his face rising in color, his breath short and erratic, uttering cute little moans and whimpers.
Sora felt himself entering Xaken's throat, who kept himself from gagging. Breathing through his nose, he calmly accepted Sora and pulled him deeper down his throat, until he had almost buried his nose in Sora's pubic hairs. Watching Sora's face, which was twisted in embarrassment and pleasure, he bobbed his head up and down at a steady pace, constricting and relaxing his throat, working on Sora's length with his lips, tongue, and hand, using his other hand to hold him in place. Sora felt a jolt shoot down his spine, and a strange, tingling warmth spread through his stomach to his cock. He cried out, and Xaken knew what was coming, feeling Sora swelling in his mouth, and pulled his head back as he felt Sora's cum slide down his throat. He pulled back until the head of Sora's cock was in his mouth, spreading the cum over his tongue, greedily sucking the rest out. He pulled his head up, lips coated, and blew cool air onto the head, causing Sora to shudder.
"How was that," Xaken asked Sora as he gently ran his hand along the length of Sora's softening member.
"That…that felt…really good," replied Sora, his face flushed, breathing heavily and raising his head to look at Xaken, his eyes glazed over.
Smirking, Xaken kicked his boots off, and pushed himself to his knees, undoing the waist of his pants and peeling the skintight leather off, removing two small, clear packets full of blue liquid before dropping them to the floor. "Don't relax, we're not done yet," he said, licking up the length of Sora from the base to the tip. "Let's get this hard again." Slowly, Sora's cock rose into the air again, hardening like an iron rod. Xaken climbed over Sora and stood on his knees, tearing the corner off of one packet and squeezing the slick lubrication liquid on his palm. He spread the liquid over the head of Sora's monster cock, then slid his hand down the base and back up, coating every inch of skin. Satisfied, he placed his hands at Sora's waist, and gently lowered himself until he could feel Sora spreading him wide. Sora's eyes opened wide as Xaken gripped his hips tightly and pulled himself down over Sora's cock, taking him into his tight little hole. He closed his eyes and a sigh of pleasure escaped him as Sora began to fill him. But Sora was bigger than anyone he'd ever had sex with, and it became harder to take in those full thirteen inches of heaven. With a determined grunt, he forced his body down to meet Sora's, feeling the slightest pinch of pain as Sora disappeared inside Xaken.
"H-how did you do that?"
Xaken's eyes were still closed, and his breath had shortened. "Don't you remember," he said, "I'm a Nobody. I'm an empty shell. Plenty of room in there," he joked, but Sora was too stunned to laugh. The hero gasped loudly again as Xaken pushed his body up until only the head remained, Sora feeling cool air on his length. Then Xaken forced his body down a second time, issuing another grunt mixed into a moan. He opened his eyes, which roared with fiery lust, and grabbed Sora's shoulders, pulling him up into a sitting position. Tightly wrapping his arms around the other, Xaken pressed his lips fiercely to Sora's, forcing his tongue into Sora's mouth and pulling his tongue in to suck on it as he rocked his hips back and forth in Sora's lap, the forceful kiss muffling the moans from both of them.
This wasn't Xaken's first time, and he wasn't gentle at all, wanting to ride Sora hard, for all he was worth. With his knees planted into the bed, pushing forward so he was lowered slightly, he was able to push himself up off of Sora's cock a few inches, then pull his hips in and ram down hard. Sora felt the almost impossibly tight walls of Xaken's ass squeezing and sliding in short bursts up and down his length, and Xaken's tongue locked in a fierce battle with his own. Xaken ran his hands through Sora's hair and grabbed a fistful at the back of his skull, yanking his head back. Sora cried out in pain and pleasure as Xaken bit down, hard, on his shoulder, piercing the skin. Two small trickles of blood ran down Sora's chest until Xaken licked both wounds clean. Xaken's cock was pressed between the two and the underside rubbed against Sora's stomach. Sora, never having had sex before, soon reached his limit for the second time. "A-again!" was all he could get out before Xaken felt him swelling again, stretching him even wider, almost to the point of pain. Sora had reached the very limit of the depth of Xaken, though, and the hot cum that flooded him was forced back down and out of Xaken's self-abused ass to leak down his legs in little rivers. Feeling Sora gushing into him brought Xaken to his first climax, and his cry mingled with Sora's as he felt himself swell and his cock twitch as he released thick strings of sticky cum on their chests, faces, and in their hair. Xaken's hips began to slow, and finally stopped, as Sora, near-exhausted, sank back into the bedsheets as Xaken released his hold and pushed himself off of Sora's quickly wilting member, which released a few more heavy loads of cum that randown his legs and pooled around him on the bedsheets, joined by the thick rivers that ran down Xaken's thighs.
Xaken wasn't finished yet. His eyes shone brighter, and Sora gave a little curious whimper as Xaken, his body beginning to shine with perspiration, like Sora's, gently turned the teen hero over, and grabbed the second packet of lube. Xaken never lost his erection, and tore a corner off of the second packet, squeezing most of the lube into his palm to evenly spread it over his length. The last bit he squeezed onto two fingers, throwing away the packet and gently spreading apart Sora's muscular, tight cheeks, rubbing the lube over Sora's virgin entrance, gently working his fingers inside him to get him slick. Sora squirmed in slight discomfort at the intrusion, but soon mewled in pleasure as he became used to it. But Xaken withdrew his fingers and replaced them with the head of his cock, and Sora's mewling became a gasp as he came out of his daze and realized what it was Xaken was about to do.
"Just try to relax," Xaken whispered, and quickly thrust his hips forward, burying himself into Sora's ass until his hips met Sora's.
Sora's mouth opened in a scream that wouldn't come out as pain brought tears to his eyes that spilled over his cheeks. Xaken kept his body still, to wait until Sora could relax and let him adjust, but he seemed to be trying to push Xaken out and crawl forward. Xaken gently gripped Sora's hips and held him back, moving his mouth close to his ear.
"Stay still and relax," he whispered.
"Please, take it out. It hurts." Sora's voice came out in a whisper as well, but he couldn't put any volume into his voice.
"Just do as I said, and it won't hurt for long," Xaken promised.
As he felt Sora begin to relax slightly around him, he slowly, very slowly, pulled his hips back as far as he could in a laying position, feeling cool air swirl around his length as it left the warmth of Sora's ass. Then, with the same extreme slowness, pushed back into Sora's red, hurting little hole, tears pouring down Sora's face as the pain seemed to grow. He gripped the bed tightly, and bit down on the single pillow to try to forget the intense pain, grunting with each thrust back into his abused hole. Xaken continued his slow, gentle thrusts, wiping the tears from Sora's face when they spilled from his eyes. To Sora, it seemed like forever and a day until the pain from Xaken's thrusts faded and felt numb, leaving the throbbing pain that was already there until it, too, began to slowly fade away. And even the numbness faded, and when Sora's grunts stopped, Xaken could tell it was safe now to go a bit faster. He slid his knees under his body, and pushed himself up, pulling Sora with him, who seemed to understood and pushed himself up onto his hands and knees. Please replaced pain as Xaken now thrust his hips faster, having more room to pull behind, until only hisw head remained hidden in Sora until he slid back into him until their hips met. Again, little whimpers and moans escaped Sora, who shook from pleasure and the throbbing. As Xaken rocked his hips back and forth, now in a steady rhythm, hips bumping into Sora's and jolting him forward each time, he reached a hand under Sora to grasp his cock, as much of it as he could, and quickly pump his fist back and forth. Sora felt Xaken filling him, and his moans became louder as Xaken began to strike Sora's prostate. Hitting it made Sora cry out as sparks burst in his head. Both teens began to sweat heavily now, Xaken biting and kissing Sora's neck and shoulders, who's arms gave out under him and buried his face in his pillow. As Sora cried out for a third time, Xaken quickly pulled out of Sora and used his Nobody strength to flip the teen over, grabbing his cock to rub the undersides of both together. Xaken let out a low moan, spurts of cum bursting from both and trailing over the bed, coating Xaken's body, hair anf face, who leaned over Sora to give him the same treatment. The bed was soaked in it, it shone in the light on both of them, and Xaken dropped down on the bed next to Sora, to drape his arm over the taller teen and lick a few trails of it from his face, to then kiss Sora, who opened his mouth so Xaken could share it with him.
"I love you, Sora."
Tears sparkled in Sora's eyes again, tears of joy, who said, "I love you too, Xaken", before falling asleep in the others arms.
With a troubled look, Xaken knew that he had really meant it, which made him feel so horrible when he thought of what would come tomorrow, and he lay his head down and nuzzled his face into Sora's neck, exhaustion washing over him as he fell asleep next to Sora and cuddling the spiky-haired hero.

A/N: FOR YOOOUUUUU! So, Part 2 is finally-fucking-done! In the first version, Donald and the chipmunks' deaths weren't planned, they just came out. But I kept it the same, because their deaths are needed for the end. I put in the yaoi scene I omitted from the first version, and I hope I wrote it well. Depending on my mood, I may put in more in the third chapter. But probably not. Because of complications, Part 2 is put up later than I wanted, but no matter. Part 3 is coming up, and hopefully will be done soon.
