Sorry for not updating in a while. I went away 2500 miles from NY to CA for a week and a half. Not to mention I was only going to limit it to one chapter if it wasn't for Shmimo and EliasDaemonwing. Anyway, here's Chapter 2. Please read and review!

Chapter 2

The six people, without hearts or emotions, left the postern. "So, Xemnas," started Zexion, "how are we gonna get the hearts? Just attack people?"

Xemnas looked at Zexion, "No." Xemnas started, "It isn't a matter of simply obtaining one heart each. When a heart leaves its vessel, it loses power. A lot of power. We will need many hearts. Thousands. A kingdom's load of hearts. And we will need an army of creatures like us. Those who don't have the characteristics to exist, and who truly are nothing. Nobodies. Then and only then will we have completion."

They approached the castle's main entrance. "Time to use our master's research against him." Xemnas said. They walked up the long staircase. They had released several peoples' hearts, but few were strong enough to become Nobodies. The few who did became weak Dusks-extremely weak and almost formless nobodies. But it was progress.

They entered Ansem's laboratory. He wasn't in there but the six took a look around the area. "Xemnas," Lexeaus called, "come here.". He had found a young man about as old as the rest of the group, unconscious underneath one of the lab tables. He was suffering from severe bleeding in his head.

Xemnas moved over to the young man who apparently was Ansem's lab assistant. He made a motion with his hand over the assistant's forehead. The wounds were healed and he started to awake.

"Why not just take his heart?" asked Xigbar, "The dude would've been easier to waste unconscious."

Xemnas ignored the question. The young man awakened.

"Who are you?" asked the blue-haired assistant

"Ansem's apprentice." He replied, "Who did this to you?" he asked.

"Ansem…he was upset that I collapsed a citizen's heart…in a research accident."

"I will give you this offer once." Xemnas said, "Do you want revenge for your near-death experience?"

The young man thought for a second. His eyes filled up with rage, "Yes." he replied.

"Very well. What is your name?" asked Xemnas.

"Ais." He replied.

Xemnas placed his hand over Ais' heart and it came out of his body. Ais' eyes dilated as his heart was pulled from his body. As his shadowy remnant disappeared, his Nobody appeared.

"Welcome…" Xemnas thought for a moment, "Saix…"

Zexion pulled Xemnas over, he whispered, "But he can't know revenge if he has no emotions."

Xemnas nodded and replied in a whisper, "I knew his heart was strong enough for him to become one of us. Our plan is to regain completion, revenge is secondary."

Zexion nodded in agreement.

The now Seventh Order left with the heart research in hand. There was little in it that the seven didn't know already. Very few, almost insignificant new details about the heart were now known by them.

"We don't have enough time to spare to find Ansem." Xemnas announced, "Only the collection of hearts can keep us in this realm."

With almost all of the castle's people's hearts gone, and the few strong enough to become low-powered Dusk Nobodies, the seven Nobody leaders headed back to the postern.

"We need to move on to another world." Xemnas told his six

partners, "The little king from another land assured me that other worlds are out there; Something Ansem didn't want us to know.

"Vexen. You and I shall work through the night to construct a vessel." Xemnas held out a closed hand. He opened it and revealed a strange colorful block. "These shall make a fine material for construction of an inter-world traveling vessel. I found them after the night of a meteor shower. After further analysis I found that they are quite astonishing materials."

Vexen nodded and the two got to work. The other five worked on the study of the heart. Tomorrow would be the beginning of something great. Good or bad. That aspect is debatable. But something great…
