Chapter One
"Have you gotten the correct ingredients for the special sedatives?"
"Yes, now hush, I need to concentrate. There's no way I'm synthesizing anything with those imbeciles around…"
"We haven't even met them yet, Vexen."
"…Was that an Even pun?"
"…Just make the sedatives. Ignore all else."
"…Right…"
The two men quickly reverted to their normal sitting position, not daring to move. Those things, or whatever they were, were most likely formidable enemies. The slightest movement that would be considered suspicious would be the death of either of them.
Well, that's what Cobb and Arthur thought, anyway.
The black creatures tilted their heads to the side as if to ask, "Huh? Why aren't you two doing anything?"
When the men continued to stare at the seats in front of them with nonchalant faces, the creatures turned away to face Eames, disappointed that the other two strange humans were like old men, talking about events where the children would be left utterly confused, them being the children.
"Should we wake Eames up?" Arthur quietly inquired, intently watching the seat in front of him.
"No, Eames will probably flip out, making us in a very dangerous position," replied Cobb. "For now, we should just enjoy our ride to wherever this plane takes us. Or at least pretend that this is normal."
For ten minutes, nothing actually happened, other than the fact that Eames was snoring loudly while the black creatures stared at him intently, curious to see the odd man making strange noises.
Suddenly, a mass of dark, black energy appeared at the front of the aisle, making Cobb and Arthur flinch slightly in their seats. A male figure clad in a dark trench coat appeared before them in mere seconds, and the energy twisted and turned as he waltzed toward them.
"Wake him up," he ordered Cobb, gesturing to Eames with a lazy hand.
Cobb complied, and Eames was awake after a few shakes and slaps to the face. Eames was irritated, but seeing the unidentified man, he kept his mouth shut.
"Follow me," the man simply stated and the trio reluctantly followed him into the portal, knowing that the man would lead them to their long awaited destination.
The area to which they were lead was unlike anything they had ever seen before. The odd insignia on the floor was seen on the outside of the castle, which was an upside-down heart with pieces taken out of it. It was a pure white room with thirteen throne-like seats that had rather random heights to them and were adorned with the same symbol. Each throne sat a person that was dressed in a black leather trench coat with a zipper, metal drawstrings, black leather gloves, and two black boots with silver lining. They also had their hoods up.
Coughing was heard, and everyone, including the Extraction team on the floor, turned toward the black-hooded man on the highest throne.
"Welcome to the Castle That Never Was," he said in a deep voice.
His voice echoed, "You are Eames, Cobb, and Arthur, yes? Then I humbly welcome you to our home and headquarters. Your mission, your co-workers, and all those details will be explained at a later time, so I do suggest to you that you understand and accept the environment that you are in. Number XIII, if you will, please take them to the Grey Room to give them your introduction."
In mere seconds, the three men were teleported into a rather large, gray room along with said the member.
The wall straight ahead was windows that showed an amazing view of the heart-shaped moon and the rest of the city, while the others looked as though they came from the insides of a computer. There were a couple of glass plates in the gray mechanical floor along with four couches and two tables that had the same tone of gray. Two couches were on the left while two on the right, leaving an open walkway to the windows. There was also an odd, small creature with a large, oval nose and a huge red pom-pom that came out of its head wore the Organization's coat to the left of the team.
"Ummm…Hello, my name is Roxas. I am Number XIII, the Key of Destiny," the Organization member said, while taking off his hood.
Roxas was rather young and had dirty blond hair that spiked upward to his right. He had bright blue eyes and his polite, warm smile allowed the Extraction team to relax a bit.
"Pleased to meet you, Roxas," Cobb replied, giving the boy a slight smile.
"Well… Since you're new to this and all…," the boy mumbled, unsure of what to say. "Maybe we should start off with the real basics?"
The trio nodded, silently urging the boy to give them an idea of what kind of mission they were actually facing.
"You might have noticed that we aren't exactly… human, in a way. I guess you've seen the little black guys with antennae walking around oddly? Those are called Heartless. They are beings of darkness that are created from the darkness in people's hearts. There are two kinds, Emblem Heartless and Pure-Blood Heartless. I don't really know why, though…. I'm pretty new to this, too. Apparently, they take people's hearts and even the hearts of worlds- waaait. You don't even know about the worlds".
"Okay. There are billions -no- countless amount of worlds in this multi-verse. Right now, we are on The World That Never Was; yours was one of the many unidentified but similar Earths out there… The Heartless can feed on those hearts of worlds and people. But that isn't why you're here. We, Organization XIII, are Nobodies. We're the leftovers that the Heartless didn't take. We're the soul. We're the body. We're emotionless- heartless, in a sense. …Or something like that."
Roxas pointed to the moon with a slight look of relief, "That is Kingdom Hearts. It's where the freed hearts of Heartless go, which are released by a magical weapon called the Keyblade. Organization XIII's goal is to take those hearts and become whole again."
"This is where you guys come in. By causing some people's minds to be completely full of darkness, we can create mega-Heartless. A Heartless that will speed up our process of becoming whole again can be created."
The three men were in absolute shock at the boy's speech. None of them spoke, thinking that this was some sort of joke that was used to catch them of guard. Roxas's stare of pure confusion and cocked eyebrow told them otherwise.
"Umm… That's all I have to say; that was almost exactly what I heard when I joined this organization… There isn't much else to explain except for the specific mission details which I don't know," Roxas gently stated, knowing that the splurge of information would be hard to take in at once.
"Now, if you're done, Roxas, I'd like to get the awesome tour of the castle over with…" bluntly stated a feminine voice right behind them.
