(Aliva's POV)
I woke up to whispers above me. 'What the hell is that?' I opened my eyes and saw people on these thrones. I slowly sat up and got off the floor, noticing I was surrounded. 'Where am I? Why am I surrounded by strangers?' I couldn't see any of their faces because they had hoods of these black cloaks, so they could hide their identity. I didn't feel welcome here with everyone just looking down at me like they were gods; it made me feel a little frightened.
"So you're awake?" I heard someone announce.
I nodded, not trusting them at all. One of them appeared in front of me. This surprised me but I didn't move at all. I didn't see any point in showing that I was a little scared. That might give them something to use against me.
"Can you speak any words? 'Cause I'm afraid we have no use for a mute." The guy remarked, making a few snicker at what he said.
"Why should it matter if I'm mute or not? That doesn't prove anything. Besides I just proved I can talk so I suggest you get the hell away from me before I kick your fuckin ass." I murmured dangerously.
"Temper, temper. We have someone who is almost like you. You both are probably a pair Valxia."
"That's not my name."
"Then what is your name?"
"It's- it's uh..."
"You can't remember it can you?"
I frowned at the statement," Shut up. I know it starts with an A. That's better than nothing."
"Well until you remember that name, your name will be Valxia."
I glared at him, disagreeing with him but it wasn't like a had much of a choice. I crossed my arms," So what now asshole?" He seemed really angry but I couldn't tell cause of the hood.
"How about you stop insulting your superior? Unless you want to be turned into a dusk little girl."
"For one I'm not a little girl and two I don't' respect superiors, especially one that doesn't shows it face like a coward."
"I like her already and it's only been ten minutes." I heard a girl smirk.
"Silence Larxene!" The guy in front of me commanded.
"How about you silence yourself instead? Before I make you."
He laughed," What can you do to me? You are just a nobody with no powers. You can't possibly do anything to-" He stopped when he got lifted off the ground.
"You were saying?" I replied, walking towards the other people on the thrones," I can control things with my mind. I can make what ever I have under my control do anything I want.... Good or bad."
I let him fall back onto the ground. I started to walk away when these huge ice sickles came flying at me. I used my mind to stop them in front of me. I made them drop to the ground and shatter into thousands of pieces," Anyone else wanna screw with me? No? Good. My name is Valxia and I'm your worst nightmare." I walked to the door and opened it, letting myself out. 'Well that went well for a first day.... Now how do I get home?'
(Axel's POV)
I watched as the new girl walked out of the meeting room. 'Well that was something I didn't expect. Usually people are pretty intimidated by Mansex but not her… she's different. She has a short fuse too. She reminds me of someone though....' My thoughts were interrupted by Demyx knocking me over by glomping me. Shaarx shook her head as she walked up to us.
"DEMYX!!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry Axel but you seemed kinda out of it!" Demyx apologized.
"Demyx, you should get off him while you're apologizing to him. He could set you on fire." Shaarx advised.
Demyx gave a frightened looked and got up immediately. I got up slowly and nodded to Shaarx, showing my way of saying thank you. Shaarx gave a small smile, reminding me why she was like her brother.
"Did you see how that girl talked to Xemnas?" Shaarx asked.
I nodded, "It's quite interesting. Her power is extremely powerful."
"She's kinda like you Axel! You're a hothead with a VERY short fuse." Demyx chirped his thoughts our happily, like usual.
I could feel a nerve started to flow quickly at the word hothead, "What was that Demyx?! I'll tear you to pieces!" I yelled angrily. Demyx let out a yelp in fear and hid behind Shaarx, begging for her to protect him. I was about to hurt Demyx when something hit me on the head. I looked down to seeing a medium sized rock on the floor. I looked down the hall and saw Roxas, tossing another rock up in the air and catching into his palm. He looked very annoyed by what was going on.
"Did you throw that at me Roxas?" I asked him dangerously.
"Yes. Don't think about killing someone Axel."
I huffed," Fine. I won't Roxas." Then I glared over at Demyx," You're lucky Waterboy."
Demyx nodded with a small smile. He looked at Roxas and ran over to him, glomping Roxas, "Thank you so much Roxas! I owe you big time. What can I do for you?" He asked gratefully.
"First let go. I don't want a hug from anyone. And second I want you do join me in spying on the new girl."
"Why Roxas?" Shaarx asked, confused.
"I want to know if she's like that all the time. Unless you're like Xaldin, Saix, or Vexen; I say it's pretty impossible for people, especially for you Demyx."
"Very funny Roxas..." I murmured with irritation in my voice," And besides, what if Valxia catches us? She'll probably kill us with her mind power or what ever is going to happen."
"That's why we're not going to get caught."
"Which means no talking, complaining, or whining at all. Got it people?" Shaarx replied, glancing mostly at Demyx," And that means no going up to Valxia and glomping her or blurting out our plan.... right Brother?"
Demyx nodded with a nervous laugh," Right."
I shook my head," How are you going to it Roxas? She's probably still in her crazy mode."
Roxas smiled evilly," Easy. Use you as a decoy."
"What?!"
"If I know better, you'll find a way to calm her down."
"No way!"
"Knock it off you two."
I looked at Shaarx and she looked a little irritated but didn't show it. Then again, she hardly ever did, especially around her brother. I sighed," Fine. I'll do it. Don't guarantee results though." I started down the hall with the others following me. I walked down until I saw a door that was wide open and there was Larxene standing there and seeming like she was talking to someone. We started to walk over to the door when Larxene heard us and glanced over. She shook her head, eithor warning us to stay away from her and probably Valxia or something else. I took my chances and went to the door, looking in the room. I saw Valxia in the middle of the room with everything thrown around the room, probably from her power. The thing I noticed was she was staring off into a corner for some reason with a confused/scared look. I looked over and saw what looked like a stereo on fire. I stared at it then glanced back at her. 'She's a fire starter also? But I thought there could only be one element person...'
"Did you start that?" I asked her.
It was like she finally noticed me; she turned her gaze towards me with a surprised look. Larxene, who seemed angry that I was asking Valxia questions, hit me from behind. I rubbed the back of my head where she hit me, irritated. I saw the others get by the door, wondering what was going on. I didn't give them an answer, not really sure myself.
"I don't know how but I did. I don't understand though. I thought I only had my telekinesis..." She frowned then stood up and glared at me, "Why are you here?"
"I don't have to explain."
"Then you have no purpose in being here."
"I have my reasons but I don't have to explain them to you."
She looked really angry and her ball into a fist, it was starting to heat up. This meant one thing: she was about to go out of control. I looked over at Demyx, knowing I was going to need his water power if her power went out of control.
"Just leave me alone. Got that?!" She yelled.
At that very instant, her eyes did a little flash like, like there was a small spark of fire that just shown in her hazel eyes. Suddenly the dresser caught on fire, not surprising me but it did surprise her. She gasped and turned around quickly, seeming a little frightened. 'Didn't she plan that to happen? Maybe she really didn't know about the power of fire... But what about her eyes? That was weird. My eyes don't even do that. That's strange.'
(Shaarx's POV)
I watched as Axel and Valxia argued like kids when suddenly Axel looked over at Demyx. It confused me but I knew it meant something bad was about to happen. Something bad always happened while he is around, whether it was to himself or other people. I suddenly heard her yell at Axel, startling everyone out of the room except Larxene. She stared into the room, unfazed. I looked into the room and saw a stereo and dresser on fire. 'Oh boy.... someone went over their temper...' Demyx looked frightened," What happened Axel?" Demyx was about to shout something else but Roxas made him shut up, not wanting to upset Valxia even more.
Axel looked over at Demyx," Demyx, you need to put out the fire in her room."
Demyx hesitated but finally nodded. He made a jet of water fly at the on stereo and dresser, putting it out quickly. Valxia jumped at the sight of water and looked over at us. She looked at us like she was going to be killed for doing something bad. I felt bad for her. 'She probably just became a nobody and doesn't know what's going on. Demyx and me didn't know what was going on but we didn't hide from anyone. She doesn't have to do that. Who was she anyway in her other life?' I walked into the room ignoring the others' glances, telling me to stay away. She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Shaarx. The guy with the element water is Demyx, my brother. The flame boy is Axel. And-"
"Flame? As in fire?"
I nodded," Yep. The girl with blond hair is-"
"Larxene. I just met her."
"Oh okay. Oh there is another blond person named Roxas. He's a guy though."
"No duh Shaarx." Roxas murmured, stepping into the room.
I rolled my eyes at Roxas and smiled. Valxia looked him with a confused look but also with a small nervous look. I couldn't figure out why but she seemed like she didn't know what she was doing.
"Who are you guys? Why did you take me from my home? Why do I have an extra power?"
"Well we are nobodies. We don't have hearts and we can't feel emotions. We took you here because you…" I stopped, hating that I was about to tell her that she had died from heartless.
"What? Because what? Come on, I can take what's coming. I should probably be used to it by now."
"You are a nobody too Valxia. You apparently died while fight off heartless," Roxas explained without hesitation.
"Roxas-" Axel began to argue with what he just did.
"What? I don't remember any of that. I would, wouldn't I?"
"Not if you don't want to deep inside. I mean, can you remember what you're life was like before you woke up? Who your family was, where you lived at," Roxas listed off," Do you remember anything like that?"
Valxia looked like she was thinking but completely taken surprise by this. Her eyes held no expression, like it was all hidden so she couldn't get hurt. She frowned after about a minute, probably realizing he was speaking the truth.
"You couldn't, could you?"
She shook her head," No, I can't. What am I? Some object to be used for someone's personal gain?"
"Yep. That's what we all are. We have to help him get kingdom hearts to give us hearts," Larxene told Valxia.
"Kingdom hearts? What do you mean? It will give us hearts? I don't understand; do I-" She stopped, not wanting to say it.
She placed her hand on her chest, like she was trying to feel some kind of beat from her old heart. Her eyes widened when she couldn't feel one. She seemed upset by the news but she didn't end up setting anything on fire.
"Y-you guys should leave. I need some time to myself." Valxia replied calmly, no wanting to let out what she was feeling.
"Valxia-" Larxene started to reason.
"Please Larxene. It'll probably be good for you guys and me. I just need a little while, that's all."
Larxene nodded and everyone started to leave the room except me. She sat on her bed, and took a deep breath.
"Are you alright?" I asked her, going to her side.
She jumped, startled. She looked at me," What the hell? Don't do that please! I-" She sighs deeply, like she's trying to calm down and think things through," Sorry Shaarx. So uh what are you doing here?" She asked a little calmer and kind of having a softer side of her than I've seen yet.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay. You seem kind of shocked and disappointed."
Valxia frowned and nodded," It's just I don't remember anything of my past, I don't know where I am, and I have no heart. All I have is a name, an power I didn't know about, and a scar."
"Actually that's not all you have." I replied truthfully.
Valxia looked up at me in confusion. 'She seems like she doesn't understand what friendship is. Didn't she have any friends in her other life?' I tried to explain what I was getting at," You have some friends here Valxia." She has a small frown on her face but it slowly went away.
"Thanks Shaarx. I guess there's a first time for everything right?"
"You've never had a friend before?"
Valxia shook her head," Not that I know of with me not remember my past and everything."
"That's okay. You will have me, Axel, Larxene, Roxas, and perhaps Demyx. I think you might have scared him though so it might take him awhile."
Valxia nodded with a smile. 'A smile is what I want to see from a person. I just hope nothing bad happens while we are trying to get our hearts back. It would suck to see something happen to our friends because of something horrible.' I stood up," Come on Valxia. Let's go find the others and have some fun. You know that is right?" Valxia laughed and nodded, getting up and opening the door.
"So who shall I find first and give a little torture to?" She asked with a little devil smile.
"Let's see if you can get Axel or Roxas to go insane."
"Axel is first!" She declared as we both walked out of the room.
Alison's POV
I sat in one of the uncomfortable seats while we were traveling to another world. I stared out the window, trying to figure out what my world might be. I could hear Sora complaining in a couple seats to the right of me.
"How long until we're there Donald?" Sora asked impatiently, sounding like a kid.
"We'll get there when we get there." Donald shot back, irritated.
I could tell by the sound of Sora's voice that he was getting really irritated and bored. 'I can't stand it; he is driving me insane.' I glanced over at Sora," You know you're getting really annoying. Can you be quiet for at least five minutes without complaining? It's getting really aggravating." Sora looked over at me in shock and didn't have time to say anything before I turned away from him.
"Okay... Sorry Alison."
I gave a small nod and continued to stare at the stars. 'I wonder if I'll find my home world. I hope it is out there somewhere. And hopefully my family is okay, whoever they happen to be anyway...' I felt someone was watching at me and looked back at the people in the gummy ship. I saw Goofy was helping Donald with the ship, controlling the guns incase any heartless gummies or asteroids came our way. Donald was driving the ship, making sure we got to the world in one piece. Sora was the one who was watching me.
"What?" I asked him with an even voice.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Stop staring at me."
"Sorry. Geeze, can't you give someone a break?"
Sora frowned," I'm just worried about you. You don't need to be so mean."
"Why are you worried about me Sora? You should worry about yourself and your friends that you are looking for."
"I don't only worry about them. I can't help but to worry about other people I meet and I happened to have met you, so deal with it."
I rolled my eyes at him and looked away. I didn't want to be friends with him. I didn't have any friends, as long as I could remember anyways. I watched as we passed asteroids and stars. I suddenly felt the gummi ship stop.
"Where are we at Donald?" Sora asked.
"We're at Mount Olympus." He answered.
"Let's go have a look around for heartless and try to keep things in natural order." Goofy replied.
"And look for my friends." Sora added, "Oh and see if this is Alison's home."
I heard what Sora said but didn't say anything. I didn't want to work with him or anyone. I didn't work well with people, especially when they annoy me. 'And I'm not that easy to annoy. So why does he annoy me if Demyx, the most hyperactive nobody in the organization, couldn't? Weird....'
I looked up as the door opened, letting Sora, Donald, and Goofy out. I followed slowly, knowing I should have a look around before jumping to any conclusions. I looked at what was around me. It was a dark gloomy place with that was surrounded by this green liquid that was probably acid. There was a rock bridge that led to the other platform. I looked back at the ship then the area," Are you guys sure we are in this Mount Olympus place? Shouldn't it be more I don't know god like?"
"That's what the radar said." Donald replied.
"Maybe it was wrong Donald," Sora suggested.
"No it has never been wrong! Next time you drive the ship!"
"I will!"
"No you won't." I objected at Sora," You'll probably kill us all."
"Then what do you suggest Alison?"
"I just say we need to just get done what ever we came here to do. We have a long way to go."
I went over the bridge and went to the middle of the platform. I could see stair going up towards light, knowing I would want to go there. I was about to head towards the stairs when I heard a girl getting chased by heartless. She looked pretty thin, darkish brown and red hair (hard to really tell), blue eyes, purple dress, and seemed fatigue. She fell, leaving her vulnerable. Sora rushed to her rescue but he didn't end up fighting them, they just fled like cowards. She got up and dusted herself off.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah fine. Who are supposed to be?"
"I'm Sora, he's Donald," He replied, pointing to Donald then pointed at Goofy," This is Goofy and she is Alison."
"I don't need you giving out my name Sora." I murmured.
Sora looked at me and shrugged," Sorry." Then looked back at the lady," We're here to see Hercules."
"Really? You know Wonder Boy?"
"Nope; don't know him," I responded.
"We do. We're heroes" Donald answered in confidence.
"Uh Donald we're junior hero."
"We have a friend in common." The woman murmured," I'm Megara. My friends call me Meg."
"Nice to meet you." I remarked before walking away.
I let them talk while I just went ahead and went through what looked like a big metal door. The first thing I noticed it was really dark and silent. Sure I liked quietness, especially with being around Demyx, Axel, and Shaarx but not this. The silence was intense and it seemed that danger was just around any corner you took. I started down the path, keeping up my guard. I fought off the heartless that stood in my way and dodged the falling rocks. I ended up at another door. I listened to try and determined whether there was anyone behind me. Suddenly I felt someone grab my arm. As an instinct, I swung my sword at my attacker.
"Hey!!" I heard Sora's familiar voice yelled out as he ducked.
I used my light element and saw it was Sora, Donald, and Goofy. My eyes widened at the realization that I had just tried to kill him with my sword. 'You ass! Don't sneak up on someone!!!!!' I shook my head at him and looked at the others with anger directed towards them, mostly Sora. I made my sword disappear and walked to the door. Sora had looked confused but also kind of hurt. That was something I didn't understand but I didn't say anything.
"Why are you angry at me Alison? You just tried to kill me with your sword and I'm not angry at you," Sora asked as he and the other two followed me.
"You snuck up on me and grabbed me without warning. For all I know, you could have been heartless. I don't take chances with crap like that. Next time you do that, you might drop dead got it?" I explained bluntly.
I didn't hear him say anything at first but I didn't look back at him. I could only imagine his expression. Frightened. Threatened. There was one more of the two feelings that could stand out, anger towards himself. I was about to open the door when more heartless appeared. I summoned my sword and prepared to attack.
"Alison!" I heard Sora yell.
"Just go on, I can handle them." I commanded as more portaled up.
"But..."
"Go! Don't you have a job to do?"
I heard Donald and Goofy yelled at Sora to leave quickly. The last thing I heard from them was a door opening and closing. I charged at the heartless, slicing them all up one by one. I thought I was done when some dusks appear. That meant one thing: someone of the organization was here. I attacked them with my sword, getting them out of the way and ran through the door. I saw Sora and the others ahead had stopped. I saw one of the organization people running towards them. I didn't move, I knew I was caught. Sora got into a fighting stance but the guy ran past him, yelling," Run away!" in a high voice. He turned his head towards me but didn't say anything. He went into a portal and vanished.
My eyes widened at who that the thought of who that was, "Demyx…"
