okay, in my last chapter, i did a horrible job with "were"s and "where"s so please forgive me!!

Chapter 2

"You've been….waiting for me?" Gin looked at the old man crookedly. He almost looked a little scary. He had a serious look on his face, but he looked wise. And how did he know Gin's name?

"Yes…." said the old man. "You must be quite tired by now. Come, take a seat." With a wave of his hand, another chair appeared opposite to him in a cloud of blue smoke. Gin slowly walked towards the chair, but hesitated. The old man chuckled. "It's quite alright, my young friend. I mean no harm." Gin walked over and sat down. "The King had informed me that you'd be coming, and asked me to prepare for your arrival."

"..The King..?" Gin looked at the old man crookedly.

"Yes, King Mickey. He is another wielder of the keyblade. He told me he saved you from a group of nobodies." Gin could only assume that the 'keyblade' was the giant key he had obtained, and the 'nobodies' where the white creatures he had been fighting.

"Oh, him? With the big round ears, right?" The old man chuckled.

"Yes, that's him." He made a face as if he had forgotten something. "I'm terribly, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Yen Sid, the sorcerer who trained the King to use the keyblade."Gin's eyes widened. He saw how skilled the king was when he killed all of those white creatures; how he had finished it so quickly. If what this man was saying was true, then he was somebody of great power. "I know that all of this is happening very fast, and you must be very confused, but you need to understand something; you are a wielder of the keyblade, a weapon of magnificent power. Draw your keyblade."

"But I don't know how…." Gin looked down, as if he where disappointed. "It just seems to come and go as it pleases. It did seem to appear whenever I was in danger, but I never had control over it."

"I see. That is only one of the Keyblades powers; the ability to come to the user at the user's command. It is the simplest of techniques for a Keyblade wielder, so I'm sure you'll master it in no time flat."

"But…just what is a keyblade? And why do I have one?"

"I'm sorry, allow me to explain. The Keyblade is a mystical sword that takes the shape of a large key. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the Keyblade is its ability to unlock any lock to any door in existence. In fact, one could say that the Keyblade is your 'key to the universe'." Yen Sid smiled as he watched Gin's eyes grow wide at hearing this.

"Are you serious!? You've got to be kidding me!"

"Certainly not. Here…." Yen Sid snapped his fingers and in a shroud of light-blue smoke, a large chest with a lock on it appeared. "Just try it. But first, you must summon your keyblade." Gin looked down at his hand, disappointed with himself.

"How?"

"They Keyblade is an extension of you, and it has a special connection to your heart. It's a part of you now, so you can control the actions of the keyblade freely. It's similar to sending signals from your brain to your fingers to move them. All you have to do is think about it." Gin looked at his hand once more and held it in front of him. He Closed his eyes and tried his best to focus. Soon, in the usual shroud of white light, the Keyblade appeared in his hand. Gin looked up.

"H-hey, it worked!"

"Well done, well done! Now, point your keyblade towards the lock on that chest." Gin got up and followed the wizard's instructions. He pointed the keyblade at the large lock. After a few seconds, a large orb of light enveloped the tip of the Keyblade, and a small, thin beam of light shot from the Key to the keyhole on the lock, and the lock disappeared. Gin's jaw dropped in disbelief from what he just saw.

"Every keyblade has this power. This is what makes the Keyblade so special." Gin looked from the chest, and then to Yen Sid. "Well go on, open the chest. What's inside is just for you." Gin approached the chest and opened it. Inside the chest was a small chain with a small, golden crescent moon charm at the end. "It's all yours, Gin." Gin picked up the keychain and gave Yen Sid a look of confusion. He walked back to his seat. "Another one of Keyblade's powers is to change its shape and form based on the keychain attached. The keyblade you have now is the most basic type, and can change its shape and abilities depending on which keychain is attached. Be aware, though; not every keychain can be used by a single keyblade wielder. One Keyblade wielder is limited to only a certain number of key chains. In fact, many Keybladers can only use one. Now…..exchange the key chains on your keyblade."

Gin slowly removed the original Key chain from the Keyblade. To his surprise, the keyblade started to glow. He next attached his new keychain to the weapon, causing it to become bathed in a silver and blue light. When the light faded, the keyblade looked completely different. The long end of the keyblade was a fading blue, starting at a dark blue at the bottom, changing into a lighter blue towards the top. At the very tip, the Keyblade was rounded and formed a sort of "C" shape. Inside the "C" was a crescent moon that fit perfectly inside, and inside the moon was a large golden star. The guards around the handle where in the shape of two white wings.

"The name of that keyblade is 'Star Seeker'" said Yen Sid. "It is the same Keyblade that the king used along ago when I trained him." Gin stared at the new and mysterious weapon.

"…Thank you"

"Think nothing of it. That Keyblade holds special powers. Actually, every Keyblade has unique powers and capabilities. But for now, I'd like you to sit down. I have much more to explain to you." Gin withdrew his keyblade and sat down. "Now……" Yen Sid waved one of his hands in a small motion, and a sort of hologram of the black creatures Gin had previously fought appeared on the table. "What you see before you is a creature called a heartless."

"A heartless…?"

"Yes. When a person's heart is corrupted and consumed by darkness, the heart separates from the body and becomes a heartless. The heartless are like animals; acting only on impulse and instincts. They only wish to capture more and more hearts, putting themselves and a continuous cycle." Gin starred at the creature and began to wonder if these "heartless" had any kind of connection with the white creatures that attacked him, and if they had some sort of connection to what happened to Ezo. "There are countless different kinds of heartless. Many are larger and much more powerful than the one you see before you, but all heartless share something in common; All heartless have great fear of the Keyblade, for it is the only weapon that can strip them of every heart they've taken while slaying them."

"And what if a heartless is killed by weapon other than the keyblade?"

"I myself am not even sure of that, but I assume that the hearts move on to another heartless before the original is destroyed." Gin nodded, and the display disappeared, only to be replaced by another. This time, the display showed and image of one for the white creatures. "What you now see before you is a Nobody. When a person with a strong heart and will loses their heart, the body left behind begins to change shape and act on its own. For you see, a nobody is only a remnant of a person after they become a heartless. A wandering soul, if you will. Unlike heartless, nobodies are intelligent. They can think and plan. But just like heartless, there are many types of nobodies, though not as many as there are heartless." He waved his hand once again to replace this display with another. This time, three different figures of different heights wearing long, black jackets and hoods where displayed. The faces where completely concealed by the hoods.

"What is that? I don't recognize these guys."

"These are a group of nobodies that have taken on human forms. These nobodies are a result of exceptionally strong hearts. They call themselves Organization XIII. They control the lesser nobodies. Their goals as of now are uncertain, but according to the king, it seems as though they have been working towards a certain goal fro quite some time now." This brought the King to Gin's mind.

"Wait! When I saw the king, he was dressed in a black coat just like those! Does that mean that he's a nobody!?"

"No. The king chose to wear clothes similar to the Organization's in order to conceal his identity."

"Oh" How the hell does that work? I mean, the guy is only a few feet tall, and has huge round ears! Gin decided to keep this thought to himself. "You seem to know a lot…"

"Well, I have been around for quite some time." Yen Sid smiled.

"I have a question….." Gin was hoping that Yen Sid would be able to help. "I have a friend, named Ezo. Today, when the nobodies attacked Twilight Town, He disappeared, and whenever I called him, I got no answer. I'm really worried about him."

"Hmmmm. Well, I think I remember the king mentioning an 'Ezo' in his letter to me, but only briefly."

"Oh….." Gin looked down in utter sadness. He had no idea what happened to Ezo. He knew something was wrong with him by the way he acted the day before, but he didn't know it would escalate this far. Was it possible that he had become a heartless? No, Gin wanted to keep his hope alive. He just knew he would eventually see Ezo. He just didn't know how.

"There is a theory, though" Gin looked up. "It's possible that he entered another world, leaving this one behind." Gin's face showed a mixture of shock and confusion.

"What…? What do you mean 'another world'?"

"There are countless different worlds out there besides this one. We are only one part of a large picture." Yen Sid Closed his eyes and took a breath. "And now, I have a question to ask you."

"What is it?"

"The King has requested that I keep you here in the tower to train you, and teach you how to use the keyblade correctly. Whether or not you stay is entirely up to you, but if you want to find your friend, you'll have to search throughout the worlds, and as of now, you aren't skilled enough."

Gin looked down at his hand and drew the keyblade. What happened to Ezo? What was the organization planning? How did this king know so much about him and Ezo? He knew that the only way through the door hiding all of the answers to his questions was in his hand. If he ever wanted to see Ezo or even Twilight Town again, he had to learn how to use the keyblade.

"……I'm going to stay here and train with you……Master Yen Sid!" Yen Sid smiled.

"Splendid! We will start your training tomorrow. But for now, you must be quite famished." Gin didn't notice, but he was actually starving. His stomach began to growl. "Come, let us eat, and then you can rest for the remainder of the day."

Meanwhile, at Organization XIII's headquarters

Ezo walked down a bridge connecting two of the many towers of the large castle. For now, he was just exploring. The castle was huge, and it was extremely easy to get lost there, but Ezo had already learned how to use the "corridors of darkness". Apparently, anyone who could use the power of darkness could use these "corridors" as portals to any destination they wanted. If he got lost, Ezo would just us these portals to transport him back to his room. Ezo…… He didn't care what his "new" name was supposed to be. He still referred to himself as Ezo, even though he knew the others wouldn't, even if he asked. He didn't care how much of a "sign of brotherhood" it was supposed to be. He knew he would never truly be like them. After all, he was "different". That was the whole reason why Ezo was picked wasn't it?

He entered the tower to be greeted by a winding staircase. He didn't know how far the stairs went, but he didn't care. He had to walk off his thoughts, especially after his first meeting.

Flash Back!!

Every member of the organization warped into their chairs. The chairs where basically on the tops of huge, square pillars, set up in a circle. At the very bottom of the circle, was a smaller circular platform, boasting a large nobody insignia on the surface. After every organization member appeared, the meeting began. Ezo hadn't listened to most what was said. He was still filled with a bundle of different emotions: anger, sadness, worry, and maybe even some sort of new emotion summing up the 3 in one word. He missed Twilight Town, and He missed Gin. Ezo snapped out of his trance when Xemnas began to introduce their newest member.

"I'd like to introduce you to our newest member. He is another 'special' one." Then, the member sitting next to him spoke up.

"Are you sure about this, Mansex? I mean, we've already got 3 of them." Xemnas slammed his fist on his armrest.

"Damnit, Xigbar! You WILL address me with proper respect, or risk being erased!" Ezo found it hard to suppress his laughter, until he looked around the room. Nobody else was laughing, or even showed a hint of humor. They all looked nervous, and some looked upset at Xigbar. The older-looking member with the short, blonde hair spoke up next.

"I wouldn't get on his bad side if I where you, Xigbar." He instantly drew a hand of four cards into his hand, seemingly out of nowhere. "You DO remember what happened to the previous member who disrespected master Xemnas too much, don't you?

"Yeah, yeah…."Xigbar mumbled. Xemnas continued to move through his introduction of Ezo, mentioning his "new" name again. Ezo began to hate that name. He wasn't sure exactly what it was. It wasn't the name itself, but something about it, just made Ezo hate the name. Xemnas then moved on to other matters, and Ezo once again lost interest.

End Flash Back!!

Ezo finished his walk down the staircase and came upon a balcony like area. He decided to leave the castle and head into the city.

He held out his hand in front of him, and a dark portal opened up. He walked through. He entered into an abyss-like area of pure darkness. The only thing he could see was a dimly-lit straight path in front of him, and an exit on the other side. It didn't take long for him to make his way through the tunnel and emerge on top of a tall building in the city. When he first got here, to the World that Never Was, the corridors of darkness scared him, but he quickly got over it.

He took a few steps towards the edge, and sat down on the roof, his knees brought close to him and his arms crossed. He wondered how Gin was doing. By now, he should've gotten his keyblade. He was a little worried about him, but he knew that Gin would come out alright.

He was only with the Organization for a few days, but he was already starting to get tired of wearing the same black hood all of the time. He had so many things to think about, especially the "other 3". He knew that there where 3 others in the organization who where like him, he just didn't know who they were, or which of the members they where. He was also worried about their motives. Where they friends or enemies? This was very important, considering their abilities.

He sat there for a few more minutes in deep though. Until his thoughts where shattered by the voice of someone behind him.

"Hey Xezo!!" It was the only female member of Organization XIII, but Ezo couldn't remember her name. "We've got a mission together! Now, I finally see what that keyblade of yours can do!"

okay, itwas almost impossible to come up with a nobody name for Ezo, so Xezo was the best i could do /
