Chapter 2: Infinite Possibilities
The group moved as a unit inside the castle. They each had their weapons at the ready upon reaching the door. Marluxia acted as leader and was at the head of the group. He was also the one to open the stupendous front door.
He threw the door wide open and all 6 black cloaked figures readied themselves to attacked anything that appeared. To their amazement nothing but a quiet room was on the other side of the door.
Inside was a silent white room with faint blue markings for designs. White flower statues and pillars lined the rooms and an ominous feeling pervaded in the air. A strange crystal ball stood to the right of the group.
"What do you suppose that is," questioned Axel.
"It appears to be an inactive warp point," deducted Vexen. "This is quite a large castle, it would only make sense if there were special points meant to help one travel through the castle."
"It's not like we need them. We can just use dark corridors," replied Larxene.
"She does have a point," said Lexaeus.
"Well then," said Marluxia. "Let's stop wasting time.
The group proceeded to another giant door across the grand hall. Upon reaching the stairs they felt a sudden chill.
"One of you go up to the door and attempt to open it," demanded Marluxia.
"Oh fine!" Exclaimed Larxene. "Since you boys are such wimps, I will be the first to set foot deeper into the castle."
"Did Xemnas by chance say anything about having to worry about giant nobody eating heartless in this castle," joked Axel.
Before anyone had time to comment, Larxene had reached the door. All eyes fell on her as they patiently waited for her to open it.
"Oh," exclaimed Larxene. "What's this card thingy for?"
She bent over and picked it up. It had a picture on the front. On the back it read, "For Axel and friends."
"Hmmm, guess that means you get to go through the door first," laughed Larxene as she walked toward Axel.
"Fine I'm not scared," said Axel as he swiped the card out of her hand.
He read the back again and read, "Hold the card up to the door and the path will appear."
So he did just that. As soon as he held the card up an unknown power seized him. His body was twisting and convolging in a spectacle of torture and wonder. He fell down from floating and to his suprise no one ran to his aide.
"Alright," he winced. "Guess i'll just open up the door now."
He opened the door and stepped through. To his amazement he was standing in Twilight town. He walked out of the alley and around the side street.
"Wha-what? How in the heck did I get here?! I was just at the castle. Did someone make a dark corridor to mess with me?"
In reaction he turned around and ran back to the alley. Sure enough a mysterious door was standing upright against the wall. He couldn't see through the bright light filling the doorway. Figuring there wasn't much else he could do he just walked back through the door.
He was blinded at first and opened his eyes to see the white room and his five comrades were standing where they had before.
"Well, where did it lead," questioned Vexen.
"You're never going to believe this, but it led me to Twilight town!"
"I believe it," said Marluxia. "Xemnas said that Castle Oblivion can take you to the heart of your memories."
"I wonder if there's a library," questioned Zexion.
"Of course, if you've been there you can go back," said Marluxia. "Potentially there are infinite possibilities."
"So, Castle Oblivion," whispered Axel. "Let's just hope it doesn't become our oblivion."

Back at Traverse town...
A man is running atop a roof screaming and teetering back and forth.
"Hey! Stop running! You might trip and fall off the roof! I don't think I could deal with that," cried the strange boy swinging his blade at him.
"Y-you're crazy!"
"Now, now. Stop playing with your food and eat," said a snakish looking woman.
Just as the boy stabbed the man a dozen shadowy, black creatures circled them.
"They're all dark and soulless," said the boy. "I don't know if I can deal with that."
"He's right," said a raspy voice in the shadows. "They possess no souls nor hearts."
"It's fine, I'll deal with them," said the woman. "Snake snake, cobra cobra destroy the darkness ensnaring us."
As all the heartless creatures disappeared a strange black portal appeared and a woman in a black cloak emerged and aimed her glare towards the other woman.
"Well well, it appears another witch has decided to pay us a visit," laughed the woman in black.
