Chapter 2
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and their new found pal Rage were returning to The Mysterious Tower to speak with Yen Sid about Rage.
"My home?" he replied. Sora nods at him and he sighs "Mobius was a beautiful place... there was nature everywhere... the civilization that was there we kept confined to the Western Isles. That is where most of the civilization lives but other smaller towns and villages are in other parts of Mobius."
"How about the other continents?" Riku asks
"Well in the South Isle there was Green Hill a beautiful grassy bluff, Blue Ridge which was snowy mountains. To the East was mostly forests. Up in the west was the large cities, Westopilis, Central City... oh and on South Isle there was one city Westside and the village to the south east was Westbrook. Then there is Angel Island, a floating island with unmatched beauty. It once housed the great Echidna race and many ruins are housed there. That island is where I lived...well until Mobius was swallowed by the Darkness" Rage says Sora was imagining what it must have been like it.
"But how can an Island just float?" Donald asks
"Well when the Master Emerald is on it's shrine like it always is the power it holds is used by the island to keep it aloft." Rage says
"And how about you what's your story Rage?" Sora asks
"It's not one I like to talk about..." Rage sighs looking at the incoming tower
"We are here!" Chips voice comes from a small funnel as the ship lands,
"Come on we better not keep Master Yen Sid waiting." Riku says leaping out with Sora, Donald and Goof after. Rage tailed last and looked at the strange tower as they entered and walked the stairs.
"Say Rage that weapon what is it?" Sora asks in the middle of the stairs. Rage pulls it off of his back where he had placed it.
"I do not know." Rage says "I remember one day while on Angel Island a horde of Dark Spawns were trying to get to the Master Emerald like normal when I went to summon my Blade of Chaos this appeared instead. What it is I do not know but..." Rage points to a small hole on the hilt wrap, "I have been thinking though that something connects here but I don't know what."
"I looks like a Keyblade to me." Goofy says
"Alright guys hush." Riku says they had reached the top and were about to open the door but Mickey opened it first
"Oh you guys are back!" he says looking at the five "Who's your new friend?"
"That's why we are here." Sora says as they walk in and he looks at Rage "Care to introduce yourself?"
"My name is Rage Chaotic I am from Mobius." Rage says
"Well Rage good to meet ya I'm Mickey." Mickey says holding a hand out and Rage shakes it
"Now why is it you have brought him here?" Yen Sid asks
"Well Master Yen Sid we think there is something you should see" Riku says taking the blade from Rage and putting it on the table in front of him.
Yen Side look wide eyed at the weapon "This is a Keyblade however it is unfinished..." Yen Sid says pointing at seven holes "Something is missing seven gems I would guess."
"Gems?" Rage asks using his power to move flash the chaos emeralds in front of him and then he grabs the Keyblade from the table and one by one the emeralds fit in nice and snug causing a blinding light around it. When it dies a chain with an emerald protruded from the hole in the hilt wrap where it should have been Rage then grabs it in his hand looking in awe with the others.
"Well it seems our new pal here is a Keyblade Master. Tell me Rage where is it you come from again?" Yen Sid asks
"I come from Mobius a great land where I sit as the Last Chaos Guardian. My job is to protect the world from Darkness... this I have failed at but if that Organization thinks they are getting away with this then they got another thing coming!" Rage responds
"I see.." Yen Sid says
"Let me help you." Rage says and everyone looks at him
"Do you know what you are asking here?" Yen Sid asks
"Rage this isn't some walk across the fields this is some hardcore fighting." Riku grunts
"Rage the darkness is not something to be taken lightly." Mickey warns
"Look I have been battling Darkness since I was a young boy. You think I don't know what it is capable of? It took my sister and I was forced to killher! So I know what it can do and I am well skilled in fighting it. Like it or not I have to find this Organization XIII and kill every last one of them for taking my home leaving me alone!" Rage growls
"I say give the kid a chance." Lea says "Besides if he's telling the truth he has to be a strong fighter to kill his own sister. I say this kid is a good asset."
"That's the other thing I am no kid I am actually 40... my body stopped aging at 25 for Mobian and 16 for human." Rage replies "So I have some life experience and I know what I am doing."
"Very well young Rage you may assist us" Yen Sid says
"After all I have some information you may need. There is no way Organiaztion XIII could have found Mobius alone." Rage says
"What do you mean by that?" Sora asks "They are finding new worlds all the time!"
"Well as the Chaos Guardian Mobius is mine to protect and for me to do that I keep it hidden and blocked the only ones who know how to get here are Mobians and those from our Dark Counterpart known as Dark Mobius. So I fear they have a very powerful ally one that only I have the power to stop." Rage responds
"What are you talking about?" Donald asks with a yell "We can take him I bet you we could!"
"Go ahead and try you'll just get yourselves killed this ally has to be Christain the Dark and he can only be killed with Chaos from the Chaos Emeralds. Which I am the only one left who can use this power!" Rage responds "So if you don't want me along you fail at his hands if I am along you have a shot."
"So Organization XIII is not alone?" Mickey asks "But why?"
"My guess would be they want more power to make it easier to get whatever they have planned done." Riku says
"And this Christain guy what is his thing with the worlds?" Lea asks
"Christain is a being of nothing but Darkness he longs to corrupt all light in the darkness. He has these powerful creatures named Dark Spawns that are a lot like the Heartless but are made of pure darkness and are much harder to defeat." Rage explains
"This is going to be a rough ride..." Donald sighs
"Alright then head for the next world and be vigilant who knows what awaits you." Yen Sid warns and the five enter the Gummi Ship and take off.
[Radiant Garden-Plaza]
The five walk down the small street past the shops when they look to see the Heartless Castle and see a large space ship like vehicle. "What is that?" Sora asks
"Looks like a space ship." Riku says as Rage looks closely
"That's not just any space ship it's my Blazing Chaos ship!" Rage exclaims "What could it be doing here?"
"That's yours?" a voice comes from behind as Leon approaches them.
"Leon!" Sora says
"You look to be in shape Sora who's your new pal?" he asks
"Name's Rage, Rage Chaotic." Rage respond
"I didn't mean you fire brain I meant the silver head." Leon scoffs
"It's Riku." Riku replies
"Hay!" Rage yells "Fire Brain? Like I haven't heard that before."
"Calm down Rage." Sora says as creatures spawn around
"Not these things again." Leon grunts
"Dark Spawns!" Rage snarls forming his Keyblade along with Sora and Riku
"What?" Riku asks blocking an attack
"I will explain later but for now we kill them!" Rage replies attacking one, the group was so busy they did not notice Xemnas looking from afar before disappearing
(Unkown)
a dark red mobian hedgehog stood with a weapon identical to Rage's Blade of Chaos in one a dark gray shirt, and dark blue pants looking out from a balcony on The Castle That Never Was as Xemnas walks up. "I see you have awoken." he says and the hedgehog turns around
"who are you and where am I?" he asks Xemnas
"I am what is left... or maybe all there ever was..." he replies leaning on the rail of the Balcony like the hedgehog "and you...what do you remember?"
"besides waking up here...nothing." he replies
"You and I are not very different... cut from the same cloth." Xemnas says
"What do you mean?" the hedgehog asks
"Before I continue what is your name?" Xemnas asks
"It's..." the hedgehog stops "ugh...I...I can't remember... why do you know?"
"You are Number XV Xager our fifteenth member but you seem to have forgotten..." Xemnas sighs
"Forgotten what?" Xager asks
"I have said all I can if you seek answers speak to Isa in The Gray Area he will fill you in." Xemnas says before disapearing
"Wait-" Xager says but he was already gone "...well if I am going to learn anything then Isa would be the one to ask." he sighs walking to meet Isa.
"You are here... Xager." Isa says as he walks in
"Yeah what did Xemnas mean by Number XV?" Xager asks
"You are Number XV Xager, 'The Chaos Warrior' our newest member." Isa replies
"That's right... my Chaos powers..." Xager says closing a fist with energy emitting from it
"And we need you to take out a certain target." Isa says throwing a picture at Xager who looks at it "his name is Rage Chaotic."
"Alright." Xager says opening a Dark Corridor and disapearing
Back in Radiant Garden the others had just taken out the last of the Dark Spawns and were gathering back up. "So Rage you said you knew who they were right?" Riku asks
"Yeah, Dark Spawns are the minions of Christain he discovered them but I don't know how... they are pure darkness brought to life and the serve under him... this just confirms they are working with our enemy." Rage explains "Now we need to get that ship back with it we can travel without having to restore the world ties."
"How?" Sora asks
"My Chaos Emeralds can manipulate time space and that ship is powered by them we get it, we make this whole thing that much easier." Rage replies
"Alright you guys go Leon and I will stay here and hunt for clues." Riku says and the four nod walking off.
As they reach the path where Sora once fought 1000 heartless a Chaos Spear hits Rage dead in the chest knocking him back. "What?" he grunts standing up and joining looks with Sora, Donald and Goofy to see the black coat of and Organization XIII member with his hood down showing a red hedgehog with a dark scar under his eye. He jumps down and looks at Rage.
"I have been looking for you Rage Chaotic." he says
"who are you? And how can you hurt me with Chaos?" Rage asks "Wait... how is this possible? I sense no more Mobians!"
"I am Number XV Xager 'The Chaos Warrior' and I am here to kill you Rage Chaotic." Xager says
"The Chaos Warrior?" Rage laughs "That is rich! I am the true master of Chaos! Allow me to show you!" Rage summons the Chaos Emeralds and turns into his True Chaos Form making Xager look at him.
"Hmph." he grunts leaping for Rage who disappears and tries to hit Xager but he blocks the hit. The two continue a patter for a while until both were too tired to continue. "Next time you won't be so lucky..." Xager pants before disappearing
"That was... me?" Rage asks
"That was your Nobody." Riku says walking up
"But how can Rage have a Nobody he never died and turned into a Heartless." Sora says as Rage powers down to his normal form
"Yeah... unless could he have been born when Mobius was swallowed by Darkness and I wound up in Traverse Town?" Rage asks
"Who knows the point is he is with Organization XIII and he is our enemy." Riku replies "C'mon." the rest walk off and Rage looks at where Xager disappeared before running to catch up
