Deep in a castle, drifted from light's touch however laced in darkness, lay a rather fair group cloaked in black. Most hadn't known what those beings were. Some questioned whether 'beings' was the proper term. Many agreed the they're Wandering souls who seek darkness above all. 'Nobodies' was the title given. To put it in simple terms...

People who shouldn't matter, nor exist. Mere empty hollowers. To be exact, 13 of those hollow Nobodies.

"Axel!"

A voice boomed, slamming a fist down upon the cement white chair possibly ten meters tall.

"Failing an assigned mission once more. FIFTH time in a row." The leader complained. He went by Xemnas, teaching techniques and giving those without purpose reasons to survive. "You MUST halt from getting distracted over her death!"

"But-" the redhead began to snap back.

"No 'but's, Axel." Pepped in a high and snobby, rude voice. "Making excuses is soooo lame~"

"Hmf." Saix, a blue haired and had a X across his face, member responded with arms crossed. "Larxene, lay off."

"Whatever, BFF." Larxene shot back.

"Please," Marluxia butted in, fabulous smirk intact, "Such disgraces shall be BANNED, correct?" He glanced at Xemnas, dismissing the bitter glare from Axel.

"Correct. I shall not tolerate much more of the dilly dallying, number 7." The leader rubbed both temples together frustrated.

"Ha! Looks like a Nobody's in trouble." The bug lady sneared, or so what the one below all called that snobby brat.

Demyx fostered around his seat, not daring to say a word. Axel was already in a scuffle. Thus, he bursts out, "It's only reasonable. Think of it this way-"

Superbly picking up the hint, Axel continued, "Imagine a pack of wolves stronger than any gigantic feat you've conquered. They're packed together, planning an assault to completely annihilate any positive emotion you would perhaps love to feel after a beloved death." Axel steadily says, attempting to keep his chill, spicy attitude. He places a hand on his hip. Xenmas was listening, that much everyone knew.

Of course, you would demolish them clean because you ARE the leader, our shining star guiding us home." Demyx portrayed, chin up a bit in support.

"However," he continued on, secretly thanking his dear friend for the help while pacing back and forth repeatively. "I AM my own being, whether fake or not. The situation can stand pitiful in all of your eyes," he glanced around with a sour look. "But it's had harsh impacts on myself."

Out of nowhere, it had grown quiet. None dared a whisper. Axel waited. His flame held up. Finally, come a few moments later, that atmosphere grew more tense. Perhaps add dashes of impatience to the mixture.

"Shes's filled your head with nonsense…until you can get those emotions under control, you're expelled. Want to keep that title, and name? Figure out how to deal with it. Two. Days."

Without further ado, the meeting ended. An angry Axel storming out into the chilling white halls. Afterwards, once outside into the purple abyss, he stared above the edge.

"Jeez, look at this mess. Whatcha think we should do now?"

Before he could ponder anymore, familiar footsteps coped behind. Like so, Demyx strolled right beside.

"I'd guess your thinking things over." The blueberry defended.

"What makes you say that?" Scoffing, he retorted.

"Axel…what's there to look at? It's just an endless purple shade. Past castle oblivion, it holds nothing here. Just, emptiness."

"Alright, ya got me. I surrender!" Axel laughed, "why'd you chase after? Thought you'd stay."

"In there? With them? You really ARE missing your head lately! " Demyx started knocking on the side of Axel's head, "Hello? Is Axy there? We'd like em' back!"

"Cut it out." The redhead moved away, "He's still here somewhere."

"Somewhere? Out there?!" The other gasped rather dramatically. Obviously positing into the abyss. That is, only to get a harsh shove sideways.

"I said cut it out!"

Moreover, laughter boomed. However, moments later they decided to end it. While the two went and walked along the icy path, Demyx abruptly halt.

"Hey, since you're suspended or whatever, why not we head to Twilight town? Get an actual view there. Oh! Plus, before I forget…" Oceanic orbs were left in doubt. As if there was a mini mental argument before continuing, "She…wanted me to give this to you…"

A gloved hand extended. It held a simple envelope. White with black swirls at it's corners. Elegant yet plain. Sure sounded like something she'd come up with. That's how She liked things. Simple. That sent a smile left to crawl while he took it. Then, hid it away.

"How long have you had this?" Axel asked.

"Two weeks."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll open it later." He went ahead, "Ey, coming?"

"Yeah."

Leaving their conversation at that, the Nobodies went. A portal spawned for them to cross over into that world. Just like any other visitors, they went for the view. Colors like a never-ending summer's day. People like hidden devils but had their own angelic touch. And places like a foreign wonder still needing discovered. Once the ticket there closed, they were gone. Off to Twilight it is!
