First Chapter of Rebirth. (I changed the name.) I want to see if it would attract more attention that way. Also if you want me to continue this story then review, put it on story alert, or fave this story. Seriously, if I have nothing after a week I will discontinue it. Also no flames. They only make Axel more hyper.

I own nothing but the plot and OCs.

Chapter 1

Xemnas sat up with a groan. Moving was rather painful. To his left crouched Linx with rather cheerful smile on her face.

Confusedly, the Superior looked around him discovering that he was sitting on the floor in the Proof of Existence. Unsure of how he got there, he tried thinking back to what he had been doing up to this point.

Let's see, there was completing Kingdom Hearts then Ansem the Wise showing up and ripping a giant hole in it. After that was fighting the keybearer and… losing.

Eyes widened as realization crashed over him.

He remembered the fight and losing. He remembered the pain fading to nothing but cold nothingness and the sensation of falling. Then after what felt like an eternity of nothing but darkness there was light. A warm light that beckoned for him, had called him by name and the next thing he knew he was staring up a violet eyed girl.

Astonished, Xemnas looked said girl and gaped, "I died and now I'm here. How is that possible?"

Linx's cheerful smile downsized to a look of seriousness. Violet eyes that seemed to sparkle with pure starlight stared into amazed golden-red ones with grave determination.

"Yes you were dead but Kingdom Hearts has decided to give you a second chance," Ignoring the gasp of surprise the girl turned to look at the other Nobodies sprawled out on the floor, "You all have worked toward the one thing that all Nobodies and Heartless want; to be whole once again. It would be a shame for all your hard work to go to waste, right?"

Here she turned to him again with that cheerful smile on her face, "You see, there are still Heartless roaming around the worlds, it is quite impossible to destroy beings that emerge from the darkness in people's hearts when there is darkness in every heart. Thus, you can come to the conclusion that there are lesser Nobodies wondering around looking for somewhere to go. This is where you and your Organization come in Xehanort."

Xemnas tensed as Linx spoke his true name before she stood up to her full height and stretched lazily. Swallowing, the Superior almost felt nervous before asking, "What am I to do?"

"It's simple really. All you have to do is give them a place to belong and show some compassion to all the lost souls that will pass though your world."

She said it like it was so easy. As if they were capable of showing emotion.

The hard edge appeared in Xemnas' eyes as he rose and spoke coldly, "We're Nobodies. We can't show compassion because we can't feel it. The same goes for all other emotions. Surely you must know that since you are one of us."

Now he towered over her causing the violet eyed girl to look up at him.

Linx snorted in a way that suggested she thought he was stupid or something. He wasn't getting any of this yet. Maybe she should give him his welcome back gift now instead of later.

"Well, I'm not really what you would call a normal Nobody seeing as how I was created by Kingdom Hearts its self." She ignored the sharp intake of breath and held out her hand calling a ball of starlight to her, "But if it's not having a heart that has you resisting than I'll be glad to fix it."

In one swift movement, Linx flicked the ball of light toward him and watched it plant itself into Xemnas's chest were his heart should have been. The man gasped as the light's warmth filled his being, conflicting with the darkness that had consumed him. It was almost painful to feel the light and darkness fight to overpower each other before settling down in equal balance.

Ba-Thump

Gripping his chest, Xemnas fell to one knee in pure amazement. He had a heart.

Seeming to read his mind the girl spoke, "It's still small but it's there. You'll have to nurture it for it to grow and become truly whole. I'm unable to bring your Somebody back but I am able to give you the tools to become your own Somebody. Xemnas," the man who had been staring blankly ahead looked at the girl, "it's time to put your silly differences aside and make your Organization one. You call yourself leader but now it's time for you to become a true leader."

With that she stepped around him and headed for the stairs that lead to the Alter of Naught. Before she exited fully, Linx looked over her shoulder saying, "Come find me whenever you finish explaining the situation to your comrades and tell me your decision." With that she walked up the stairs, leaving a dumb founded Nobody to think about what the mysterious girl said.

Xigbar groaned as he sat up. His head felt like it was going to explode.

"Easy, Number Two." A voice that sounded a lot like Xemnas said as a hand fell onto his shoulder. Course this couldn't be true. They were all dead, killed by the keybearer kid. But then why did his head fell like a herd of elephants were doing the conga in it?

Opening his lone eye, the Freeshooter saw that his friend/superior was kneeling beside him with a calm gaze. Shocked, Xigbar glanced around him seeing that the other Organization members were either laying on the floor still sleeping or rousing.

Looking back at his old friend, Xigbar asked, "How?"

"It appears that Kingdom Hearts itself has decided that we deserve a second chance." The man's gaze drifted past him up toward the stairs that would lead one to the Altar of Naught, as if he were watching for someone.

"But that's highly improbable." A voice dragged their attention to a blonde man who was still leaning against the wall, "Why would it grant us our hearts and not other nobodies? Why, after all this time would Kingdom Hearts help us after we had died?"

"I don't claim to know this Vexen but I'm sure our questions will be answered eventually." Xemnas tried to reassure the Chilly Academic.

Clearly the Superior knew more than he let on.

"More secrets, Xemnas. It isn't that what got most of us killed in the first place." Zexion, a silver haired man, said accusingly as he stood up.

A large man with dreadlocks pushed himself to his knees as he admonished, "Number Six, I'm sure Superior has his reasons for withholding information."

"I agree with Xaldin. Surely there must be some reason that Kingdom Hearts has brought us back." Lexaeus, another large man with brown hair, pushed himself to his feet and aided Vexen to his as well.

This statement, of course, lead to most of the now awakened members arguing who was right or wrong about the matter. Xemnas was caught in the middle trying to get them settled down.

Xigbar sighed before walking around the arguing group and went over to a man with short blonde hair and numerous piercing in his ear. Shaking the man, the Freeshooter waited for him to fully awaken.

Looking around him, the man, known as Luxord, gaped before looking at Xigbar.

"No, this isn't a dream, now wake the two lovebirds while I get these two." Xigbar motioned to two other bodies laying across from them. One was a male with pink hair and the other was a female with blonde hair that was styled to look as if she had antenna.

Nodding, Luxord went to do as he was told while the older man knelt down beside a boy with blonde hair styled like a mullet.

"Hey, kid rise and shine." Gently shaking his shoulder, Xigbar tried to rouse the young man.

The boy opened aqua blue eyes as if he was just waking up. He looked up at Xigbar dazed at first before seeming to wake up fully. Sitting up straight, the boy gazed around him in wonder before looking toward his superior.

"I'm alive." He grinned at the nod he got before jumping up and shouting for joy.

"I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive…" He sang while dancing around causing the arguing group to look at him.

"Demyx, cut out that nonsense." A gruff voiced blue haired man with a 'X' scar on his face reprimanded. He had apparently just woken up for he was just pushing himself to his feet and making his way over to them.

Demyx 'meeped' before apologizing with a, "Sorry Saix" and then hiding behind Xigbar.

Cold gold eyes switched from the blond to the still prone body on the floor. It was a male with flame red hair and two triangle markings under his eyes. He was so still and unmoving, the only way to tell if he was alive was the fact that his chest was rising and falling.

Growling slightly, Saix summoned his claymore (sp?) and raised it over his head preparing to strike the boy while his was down.

"Saix, don't."

His Superior's voice stilled the man. Looking over his shoulder, gold eyes questioned his leader.

"But Superior, he is a traitor. This scum doesn't deserve to live." The Luna Diviner argued.

"I agree with Saix. Axel is nothing but traitorous scum who should be punished." Marluxia, the pink haired man, practically growled.

Xemnas narrowed his eyes at the Assassin, "If we are talking about punishing traitors then we must deal with you and Larxene first."

Both of them flinched before looking slightly fearful. Clearly they still remembered the wrath of their leader.

"But since Kingdom Hearts has decided to give you a second chance so will I." Xemnas watched the two relax slightly before turning to Demyx, "Wake up Number VIII."

With a nod, the Nocturne proceeded to do just that.

Saix however still wanted to argue. "Superior, why are you letting Axel live? He betrayed the Organization and aided Sora. He should be turned into a Dusk for this."

The Superior sighed slightly and placed a hand over his new heart. He could feel sympathy for Axel now. The Flurry of Dancing Flames just wanted to see his friend again. "Because he, like the rest of us, was trying to find his heart."

The Luna Diviner seemed to want to argue more but was interrupted by Demyx.

"Umm… I think there's something wrong with Axel," the blonde said nervously, "he won't wake up."

Linx stood on the Alter of Naught, her head tilted up to the sky. It was still raining but not as hard as before so she left her hood down. The clouds shifted over the fragmented moon that was Kingdom Hearts, allowing beams of moonlight to slip through.

One beam landed on the girl like a spotlight. A frown tugged at her lips as if she just heard something that had offended her. Sighing softly, she lowered her head to look at her feet. "The old man better be right about this or else I'm a goner." Linx muttered to the wind.

Suddenly her head shot up to look ahead of her, her eyes narrowing into fierce slits. She hissed out a breath trying to keep herself calm. No way was she going to let that idiot pyro ruin her plans, not if she hoped to be alive at the end of this.

"Look's like I have my work cut out for me." A smirk danced on the girl's lips as she disappeared into a dark portal.
