This is the real chapter 3. And now the final OC is here. I've been working on the next chapter at the same time as this one and It's halfway done. Thanks for reading and all the nice reviews.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of the OC's portrayed in this story with the exception of Faust.

Birth By Sleep, Waking In Death
"And sever the head."
Idthon finished his quote and Faust nodded. Idthon was well versed especially in the area of novels. Faust was almost the exact opposite in that he lacked the ability to read.
It wasn't a mark of un-intelligence, but simply the fact that he had never learned.
Idthon wondered why this was so, since a nobody retained the knowledge of their other, but refrained from questioning. It was sort of an unspoken rule of their group that they didn't talk about their pasts. Asking about it was unspeakable.
So now Idthon would often find himself repeating his favorite quotes from the books he read.
Faust just seemed to like the last one because of its graphical violence.
The two waited in the shadows with their hoods up. It seemed they were always waiting... For the people they searched for.
Tonight he'd come...
A faint noise like a flutter of a curtain drew their attention into the darkness in front of them. A cloaked figure stepped into the light of the street lamp.
A hand pulled away the hood to reveal a girl with shoulder length purple hair and ice blue eyes.
"Krystiana..." Faust muttered. The girl ignored Faust to stare at Idthon, "So this is the leader of your little club?"
Idthon smiled, "You're Faust's sister?"
She nodded, "Well, our others were brother and sister so that makes us siblings in a way."
Faust ignored his nobody sister to stare at the darkness.
"Waiting for Riku?" she asked with a smile. Idthon thought it looked a lot like Faust's, hiding pure malice and scorn.
"Well he should be here soon, I told him to come after all... but while we wait, wouldn't you like to know some things about your friend?" she asked Idthon with her trademark malice/scorn smile.
Faust scoffed, "I'm entitled to the belief that he doesn't care."
"Ever wonder why he can't read? Why he can't do things like a normal nobody such as control himself once he starts killing? Why he's after Cloud?" she went on. Idthon had to admit he was interested since Faust was his closest acquaintance.
"He was created in a lab. By a man, that man is-"
"Enough." Faust cut her off.
Before she could even go on if she intended to, another cloaked figure stepped from the darkness.
"You must be Riku," Faust muttered.
He never even moved. "I just came to see how Idthon was."
Krystiana disappeared.
"I want to... end this." Idthon was drawing his gun, but Riku stepped back into the darkness.
"I just came to see my nobody Idthon." his voice rang out.

"Sora!" Yuffie's voice rang from inside Merlin's house. He was exterminating a few pesky heartless and dusk with Leon outside.
They struck down the last one and walked to the door.
Inside Cid worked diligently on the large computer while Merlin watched over his shoulder. Cloud sat at a table with a cup of steaming tea while Tifa and Aerith watched him at the other side of the table. Yuffie almost bounced over to Sora when he entered. He was too tired to notice his new acquaintance in the corner of the room.
Vincent had arrived with Cloud two days ago.
Sora took an instant liking to the man's cool, yet refined attitude.
And also that he had a gun...
Cloud and Vincent had brought back the disturbing news of a new organization of nobodies to go along with Organization 13.
"One of them seems to be hunting me down," Cloud had muttered.
Apparently Tifa and Yuffie knew the nobody after Cloud some how. Sora was sick and tired of Organization 13, now there was another one?
--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--
She knew what she was doing. She always did. The one thing that everyone should know and remember about Krystiana was that she was always well planned. And her plans worked out almost always.
Roxas came to her call willingly. All she had to do was mention Axel and he came out of the organization's castle to meet her.
"If you want him back, you're going to have to cooperate kid."
"What's your name anyway?"
"Just call me Krys."
Roxas looked at her with seriousness. She knew behind those eyes he missed Axel.
"Come on kid," she opened a portal.
"My name's Roxas."
--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--
"What the hell is that? Isn't he from Organization 13?" Shay poked the sleeping nobody like he would wake up suddenly and light her on fire.
"His name's Axel... I'm only using him to draw out Roxas..." Aeolin sat in a chair and started finishing a drawing from earlier.
Rena emerged from her room, "Faust and Idthon still aren't back- oh! he's CUTE!" She walked over to look closer at Axel's face.
"Well what do we do now?" Vixken looked at Aeolin. "We wait." He replied.

Minutes later the four nobodies looked at each other as they heard the front door of their hideout get kicked in.
"Where are you?!" a voice echoed through the mansion.
Rena motioned for the others to follow and they all entered a portal to get to the foyer balcony.
When the emerged with their hoods up, Roxas summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion.
Rena chuckled, "Oh Faust's sister is here!" Aeolin, Vixken and Shay looked closer at the girl standing beside Roxas. They never knew Faust had a sister.
Krys snapped her arm out like snapping a whip and a long whip of blue flame appeared in her hand.
At first you would think it fire, but the flames were giving of a mist like ice...
"You're coming with us. We can do this two ways: one, you come with me willingly, or two, I take you all out and drag you with me." Krys frowned, her ice blue eyes flashing dangerously.
Vixken laughed, "What?"
"You're pretty sure of yourself huh?" Shay glared at the girl.
Rena summoned her lance, "You may be Faust's sister, but lets see if you're as good as him."
Roxas steeped forward in impatience, "WHERE'S AXEL?!"
The four looked at each other and laughed. They took off their hoods.
--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--
"I'm not telling you... Anything." Zexion swallowed with trouble.
Idthon pushed his gun harder against his throat, "If you let us see him I can assure tou that you'll make it out of this with your head still attached to your body."
Zexion swallowed again and was silent.
Idthon quickly smashed the butt of his gun on the side of Zexion's head. He fell to the ground with a grunt but Faust cold see he was still conscious.
Idthon and Faust had entered into Organization 13's castle and were instantly confronted by Zexion. Faust had caught him off guard and now Idthon questioned him.
A portal opened on the stairs behind them and a man stepped out. "That's enough number six." Xemnas said with a wave.
Zexion got up and glared at the two nobodies before he stepped away into the shadows.
Xemnas made his way slowly down the white stairs, "I've been waiting a long time to meet you... you see, I've been curious as to what your little organization is doing."
Faust crossed his arms, "Don't worry Xemnas, we're not after your precious Kingdom Hearts. We wouldn't waste our time."
Xemnas stood on the last step, "Then what DO you want?"
"Some of us want or memories back, some of us are looking for someone, and others of us... Just want to see blood on our hands." Faust smirked.
Xemnas looked up, "I'd appreciate if you'd stay out of my way then, or I might have to do something about it."
Faust's smirk turned into a cynical grin, "You're wasting your time with Kingdom Hearts. This life is merely a dream for the dead. You futilely try to make sense of dreams while I choose to end them."
Idthon grabbed Faust's shoulder, "I think the others are in trouble... We should get back."
Faust looked back to Xemnas. He gave a salute and both disappeared into darkness.
Xemnas frowned in annoyance.
--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--
When Faust and Idthon arrived at their hideout, Vixken and Shay had already been knocked unconscious. Aeolin stood facing Roxas with a sword in one hand and his sketch pad in the other, while Rena pulled on her lance which had Krystiana's whip wrapped around it.
Before anyone noticed them there, Faust slashed the whip in half with his frost sword and Idthon fired a shot at Roxas' feet. Roxas jumped back surprised and Krys saved herself from stumbling back.
"About time, Shay-shay and Vixken already got whooped," Rena frowned at the two.
"I don't understand Krys, what are you doing?" Faust stared at her with an emotionless face.
She smiled, "Well you see, I need you all to come on a little trip with me." She fired a blast of her blue ice-fire at Faust. He ducked it and ran at her with his sword's blade dragging on the ground.
Roxas jumped at Aeolin again, connecting both of his key blades with Aeolin's created sword. "I hate you... so much," Aeolin told him through gritted teeth. He jumped back and threw down his sketch pad after creating another sword for his left hand.
"I don't even know you," Roxas glared.
He looked down when he heard something sliding toward him. His eyes widened and he jumped away rolling just as the bomb slid across the room by Idthon exploded. Idthon followed up his bomb by shooting at the keyblade wielder.
Roxas dodged several lasers by ducking behind a table, spinning his keyblades and finally running up a wall to come back down toward Aeolin.
The two engaged in trading blows from their double blades in a fast battle.
While Roxas and Aeolin battled (Idthon stood on the balcony above shooting at Roxas, which he had to block while fighting Aeolin), Faust and Rena jumped at Krys. She lashed out at Faust with another whip and hit his shoulder. He kept coming and swung at her. Thinking fast, she ducked the swing and executed several blows to his wrist, making him drop his weapon. Rena held out her hand to shoot a chain of electricity at Krys.
She jumped away and made her whip disappear. It was replaced by two long daggers of the same element in each hand.
Faust held his wound and glared at his sister. He was surprised she had grown so strong over the years. He'd not be able to fight so lightly now.
Rena was breathing heavy and sparks of electricity made their way up and down her body.
Roxas knocked Aeolin out with a blow to the head and threw Oathkeeper at Idthon. He shot the keyblade out of the air, but Roxas had appeared beside him and smashed him over the head with the end of his keyblade in Idthon's distraction.
Krys stood up straight and smiled, "Your friends didn't expect us to fight so well."
Roxas stood over the unconscious Idthon breathing heavy, covered in sweat and blood from several cuts.
Faust made his weapon disperse and Rena looked aat him with detest.
"Rena, lets go."
She made her lance disappear and pouted, "I coulda fought her..."
Faust went and picked up Idthon and Vixken from the floor. Roxas went into a room upstairs to collect Axel after Rena told him where he was. Rena picked up Shay and Krys hoisted Aeolin onto her shoulder.
"We'll follow you," Faust said and Krys opened a portal of darkness.
"I hate Sharlea," Rena complained, "She's so light..."
--K-I-N-G-D-O-M--H-E-A-R-T-S--
The six members of Chaos Arcanum lay on separate beds along with Axel, all asleep now. "He needs to remember too" Roxas told Namine. Krys stood p from her computer, "I don't remember my other either and I'd like to." She went and laid on a bed to hoop the monitors to her head.
Roxas nodded and sat at the computer, "I'm not good with computers, but this shold be easy."
Namine put her hand over Idthon's head.
"They'll remember everything..."
