Chapter 2: The world that never was

As I stepped out of the portal, I saw that I was just in another city…only this city wasn't as ordinary as the last one. The moon overhead was shaped like a heart and gave off a murky gray light instead of the pearly white you'd expect from a moon. Next to the moon I could see towers, soon I would find out those same towers belonged to a castle, that castle is where Xemnas and I were headed.

"This is our home. This Roxas is, The World That New Was."

Xemnas began walking down the city streets and stopped when we reached the center of the city. I noticed a skyscraper, as I looked up storm clouds blocked out the moon and it began raining. It was like the city knew something I didn't. I committed the sky scraper to memory and for the first time I put the hood on my rain coat up. Xemnas led me down one final ally before we reached a drop off…the road just well…ended. Seeing my puzzled expression he raised his hands and a pale blue pathway appeared I looked up to see where it lead and saw the bottom of the castle.

"Come Roxas, it's time for you to meet the others like us. They all have unique abilities and can teach you how to master your own hidden powers."

I nodded and flipped my hood down again as we entered the castles basement level. The castle was huge, with many rooms and confusing passage ways built to throw off any intruder. Xemnas showed me the fastest route to the living area and told me not to venture beyond it without another member until I knew my way around.

"This here will be your room, it's not very big, but it should do. All of the other members' rooms are in this hallway, mine is behind the dining hall, and is only to be entered in extreme emergency. Please feel free to wander as you wish on this floor."

Xemnas walked away and through a door at the end of the hallway, I assumed that was the way to the dining hall. I looked in my room and to my disappointment found it to be the same as the rest of the castle with the same silver purple mix with blue flooring, only difference was it had a door and a bed. There was one window, and I had a perfect view of that same skyscraper…I didn't know it then, but that place would hold importance to me someday, so I dubbed it "Memory's Skyscraper".

I climbed on my bed and stared at the roof trying once again to remember something. I closed my eyes I wanted to cry, but remember that I couldn't…it was funny I wasn't able to feel any emotions but I could still want things…like to cry, to laugh, to smile….but if I did those things, they would just be empty and have no meaning to justify them. I was in a different world now, I mean not that I remembered the old one…but I know there had to be an old one…right? Otherwise, how would I be here?

"Knock, knock, new guy."

I sat up to see who was at my door and saw a tall man with spiky flaming red hair that went to his shoulders and piercing green eyes. He really couldn't have been more then twenty-five. He had an odd sarcastic smirk on his face that never seemed to go away. Also he was dressed in the same black rain coat I was only, he had gloves and boots as well.

"Who are you?"

He looked at me and sighed, "The name's Axel. Got it memorized? I mean how could Xemnas not tell you about the guy in the room next door? That guy I swear he really doesn't have good social skills…oh well he is the boss. So yeah, what's your name?"

"Roxas, well that's what Xemnas made my name into…my first name was…was…"

"Um, you okay there Roxas?"

I couldn't breathe, for some reason I couldn't remember my first name…it was as if when those letters rearranged themselves and the X was added, my old name was whipped out of my memory. My entire past, even the only thing I had left of it was gone now. I shook my head and saw Axel still standing there with an odd expression on his face.

"Yeah, sorry, I'm fine."

He nodded but kept his strange expression. It was great, the first member I've meet and I've already made myself look like a moron. I was off to a great start, and something was telling me that Axel was the only non serious one around.

"Axel, I was wondering, could you show me around and introduce me to the other members?"

"Yeah sure I guess I could, I mean I've got nothing better to do anyways."

I followed Axel out of my room and back into the castle basement.

"Axel, where are we going? Xemnas told me that all of the Organization members' rooms were on the same floor as mine, so why are we in the basement?"

"Relax. Vexen is down here working on some new experiment. I figured I'd just introduce you to the others in the place you'll most likely find them is all. Alright let me tell you a little about Vexen before you meet him though. He is a serious man, and loves science. He controls ice and water and also makes this castle run smoothly. So any technical issues go to him. Got it…"

"Memorized? Yeah I do, so where is he? All I see are empty crates."

"Axel what are you doing down…Oh the new boy."

I turned to see a man taller the Axel and also much older he had the look of a great scholar. His face was chiseled, he had sharp green eyes that showed a lot more wisdom then Axel's did. Vexen's hair was light brown and hung passed his shoulders.

"So, what is your name? I heard you and the superior come in but I don't believe I heard your name."

"My name's Roxas, it's nice to meet you."

"No need to be so formal my boy, no need at all. Axel, have you introduced him to any other members yet?"

Axel was tinkering through a box labeled "confidential, please do not touch".

"Axel, please leave that stuff alone. You shall see it soon enough, after all I am working on your Nobodies next. Now, I asked if you had introduced Roxas here to any other members."

"No I haven't yet, I figured I should show him where we usually are, in case he needs us and we're not in our rooms."

"Surprising, that's actually a good idea. Well Roxas, I'm always here. I am constantly working on new studies concerning the heart. Someday, we'll be whole again."

Vexen patted me on the shoulder and walked past all the crates into the shadows. I don't know why, but I thought it was all a little too weird. I wanted to know what he was working on, so I reminded my self to come back after Axel had shown me around. We climbed up the stairs and stopped on the third floor, I followed Axel out on to a balcony that overlooked the entire city below.

"Who hangs out here?"

"Huh? Oh, I do, this place is where I usually am. Yep, this is my hangout. Not much but…it works. So, I have a question for you."

"Okay."

I was a bit nervous, I mean I didn't know anything out side of what happened today, so the thought of answering a question, bothered me a bit.

"What did you do in your other life…I mean, you still being well almost you as a Nobody means you had a very strong heart. So, we're you like the kid who jumped in front of a heartless to protect your friends?"

I looked away in shame. I really wished I could think of who I once was, what I did. I wanted to know why things ended up being this way. I looked back at Axel who saw my expression and turned away.

"I see, you don't remember then. I'm sorry, but hey, that means you were only a heartless for a little while…maybe your heart is free, wondering around somewhere…looking for you."

Axel's thought gave me some hope…then it happened…A white light appeared in my hand and just stayed there. I moved it from hand to hand in amazement and wonder.

"Whoa…Roxas, looks like you control the power of Light. That's cool…I wonder how much you can do with that."

I threw the ball of light up thinking it would disappear. It floated back down to me and hovered there for a second before blinking out and finally disappearing. Axel's eyes were looking into mine, like he was trying to pull something out of my mind that I didn't know was there.

"Well, we know what your power is. Vexen's going to want to know tonight, so just tell him at dinner. I'm sure the superior will too."

I nodded and walked passed Axel to the railing and looked out over the city. It really was beautiful in an odd way…the lights looked so cool in the dark. It all seemed so inviting.

"Axel, what's your power?"

"Huh? Oh, I have power over Fire. It's cool, there are so many things I can do with it, but I don't get to use it much, so it's just kind of there."

"What was it like, back in you're first life?"

Axel lowered his head and closed his eyes, after a few minutes he looked at me and he simply waved.

"I'll tell you some other time. Right now I'm not really in the mood to talk about it. I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry I asked, it's really none of my business."

"Don't worry about it. I did ask you first, it was only fair I guess. Now come on, we have nine more members for you to meet. There are two more on this floor, Lexaeus and Zexion. You'll always find them together, or with Vexen working on some project."

We walked into what looked like an ordinary office type room. Lexaeus looked and saw Axel and went back to reading something on the desk he was seated at. The other one, Zexion was standing on the opposite side of the room holding a strange shaped figurine in his hand. He too looked and saw Axel and went back to messing with the figure.

"Guys, this is Roxas. He's new around here so I'm showing him around."

Both Zexion and Lexaeus stopped what they were doing and walked over to where Axel and I were standing. Lexaeus was easily three times my size with gray eyes and combed back reddish brown hair. Zexion was tall and slender, he looked older then me, but younger then axel. His hair was Navy blue, same with his eyes. Part of his hair covered one eye giving him a very mysterious look.

"So, you're the new guy? I'm Zexion. It's nice to meet you Roxas. I'm sure you'll be a very valuable addition to the Organization."

"I'm Lexaeus. If you'd like to train and learn how to fight, just ask and I'll train you. I trained Axel for a little while."

"Yeah, that was an experience. I learned a lot."

"Axel, you know where your sarcasim will get you. Or have you forgotten?"

Axel looked Zexion square in the eyes and then grabbed me by the arm and pulled me out of the room while Zexion smirked.

"Rule one, stay away from those guys…I don't trust them at all. Got that?

I nodded and Axel walked back into the living quarters.

"Well, that's all I can introduce you too for right now, I'm sorry. I just remembered that the others are on an assignment right now. They should be back soon though so you can meet them at dinner. Right now though I just need to cool off, I'll see you later man."

"Hey, Axel…thanks."

He nodded and walked back down the stairs. I went into my room and stared out the window and sighed, I wanted to know what was going to happen, where I was going to end up…what I was going to do. The rest of the day I just spent trying to practice my power. I got to the point of where I could control the size of the ball and could make two of them before I got bored.

I saw a night stand with an empty book and a pen on top, so I took them and laid on my bed writing about the five organization members I had met so far.

Xemnas: Leader of Organization XIII, he seems trustable. I feel he may have some answers for me.

Axel: "A flurry of Dancing Flames" The most trustable member I've met so far. I think I can call him a friend.

Vexen "The Chilly Academic" He seems, to know a lot about the Nobodies, I think I may be able to understand more of what I am if I talk to him.

4.) Lexaeus: "The Silent Hero" He seems quiet, yet it seems like he's hiding something. I'm not sure I really should trust him to much.

5.) Zexion: "The Cloaked Schemer" I can't Trust him, he seems like he could easily take anybody and turn them into an enemy of the organization.

I closed the book, and wrote "Roxas and his Thoughts" on the cover then hid it between my mattress. I couldn't let anybody see it. I planed to write about the other members once I met them, it would be my own personal record of what happened to me…I wasn't going to forget who I was ever again. I rolled over and stared at the wall, then closed my eyes to sleep, if only for a little while.

(A/N): Well that's Chapter 2 for you guys. Please review I really want to know what people think of this story.
