Chapter 3: The Recruitment
It was morning, raining outside at The Castle that Never Was. But none of the members cared, they preferred gloomy weather, especially Xemnas. He had been in his room since the last meeting they had, planning carefully for the attack he made against Disney Castle in about three days.
Castle that Never Was: Floor 8
He hated mornings. Especially Wednesday mornings. It was a day that was right in the middle of the week, telling you it was half way. Damn Wednesdays. The Flurry of Dancing Flames glared angrily at the digital alarm clock flashing the numbers '9:30'. Unlike wall clocks, digital clocks gave the air a sense of being in a still room because they made no noise, unless you set the alarm. This room, however, had no noise, movement, not a bit of life. Just like the person it withheld. Empty inside and out. Sure he could hide it with his antics and his mischievous grins, but that outer shell only covered up his hollow heart...
The black covers fell back slowly, and then were jerked over to release him. His room was cold, and he shuddered. It figured he would only be wearing tight black pants in the cool room. Flaming red hair fell about messily, the normally spiky and 'perky' locks being a little messed up. Even the beautiful people got bed-head sometimes.
Usually dangerously vibrant emerald eyes were hazed from the morning he had yet to fully awaken from. He attempted to shuffle his way to the bathroom to clean up, but he could only make it to the foot of the bed before he sat back down and stared blankly at the floor a few feet in front of him. If the others were to see him like this, their hearts might sink. He may have been a pain in the ass to most of them, but he still put the personality in the deadweight castle, even if they all believed that personality was fake.
Axel grumbled something incoherent and shook his head, then stayed still as if breaking the silence of the early morning had been a crime. Once he'd realized, his upper body was exposed and his hair was messy he stood up and went to the bathroom, fixing his hair, washing his face, and grabbing his coat from the towel rack next to his shower. He slipped it on, hesitating to zip it up. A quick glance into the mirror and he realized why he of all people would care if anyone saw him. Wasn't he the one who liked that? Wasn't he the one who was mischievous and perverted? He came to a reasonable conclusion. Keeping a body like his hidden...was torture to whomever he came across. (A/N: Well duh! Of course.)
A younger blond boy walked down the empty corridors, toward his best friend's room. The entire building was still and lifeless as he walked through it. It was almost eerie. However, he was used to it. Eyes the color and depth of the deepest oceans scanned the doors until he found the correct one, a metal 'VIII' plastered on the entrance. He grabbed the doorknob without knocking, quietly sneaking into his room expecting to find him asleep. When he didn't, the confused boy walked to the doorway of his open bathroom, where he saw Axel in the mirror with his coat still half-unzipped.
Without thinking about the concept of mirrors, he leaned against the door frame and smirked, eyeing the exposed skin. However, as stated before, this particular boy had forgotten something about mirrors.
"OW! Fuck!"
The person you see will see you too.
"What the fuck was that for?" Roxas was nursing his forehead, glaring at the pyro who was smirking.
"For sneaking in and peeking at my sexy body twerp." Axel said in an annoyed tone.
"Sexy? It's your fault you left the door unlocked and leaving the bathroom open wide while admiring yourself" Roxas snickered and got hit again. This time by a hairbrush.
"Ow! Stop throwing crap you ass!" Roxas whined, again nursing his head.
"It's too early for me to deal with...you," Axel growled. For some reason, when he wasn't deliberately showing it off, it bothered him to let his best friend see him slightly undressed. He sat down on the foot of his bead and rubbed his face, and the blond took a seat next to him.
"What's with you Ax?" He asked, nudging him in the arm.
"Just tired is all..." Axel was silent for a moment before adding in reluctantly. "Sorry I snapped. It's just way too early."
The blue-eyed boy smirked, tangling his fingers in the pyro's hair and shoving his head to the side, causing the older boy to smile. "You're such a sap in the morning."
"Thanks Roxas" Axel praised sarcastically.
It was always nice to have friends like that...Axel leaned in to peck a little kiss on Roxas's cheek as in appreciation, and got a really embarrassed blond. The pyro found this amusing and decided to tease his friend more.
Just then, when everything was about to get good, a familiar voice was heard through the speakers. It was no other than their leader, Xemnas. "All members report to my quarters immediately. I have a special surprise for you all."
"Oh, that can NOT be a good thing...probably" Axel complained. "Roxas? Earth to Roxas? Are you listening kid?"
Number thirteen was practically pushed onto the bed by the older teen, his face red as a cherry. Axel released his hands and got up.
He was scratching his head and mumbled a few incoherent words. "Damn, and we were just gettin' started too...Come on Rox, we better get goin or else Xemnas would bitch on us."
Roxas nodded his head, but speechless from what just happened. Axel saw this and gave a mischievous grin. "What? Was that first for ya?"
Roxas just glared at him and opened portal behind him, Axel entering it first then Roxas. Apparently, they were the last to appear in front of their Leader's door, because everyone else was already present.
The door handle clicked, and everyone's attention turned to the entrance of their Superior's room. The door swung open, Xemnas walking out and smiling a little oddly to everyone. He actually seemed excited, or as close as a Nobody could get to it. "Thank you all for coming. I have gathered you all here to show you a new training ground. A portal opened up in his doorway. "This way..."
He directed them all into the portal, the twelve lower members walking through in a line to find themselves greeted by the none other than the rain. Half the members quickly put their hoods up, while the rest seemed careless about the drizzle. They were standing on a beach, or rather, on an island. Compared to the other training grounds they trained on, this one was weird. The members practiced their combats and powers in a computer simulated room, mostly at other worlds. This island had a beach, but go east and you approach a vast grassland. Look north and you'll see snow capped mountains, and the south a jungle. There was a cliff nearby, and near the rocks was a hut. The members walked to that hut, finding black and white tables with matching chairs, and a mini bar. (A/N: Yes, the mini bar VERY random, and saw it as an option )
Everyone seemed impressed, but it was cut off by a familiar voice. Zexion was getting his turn to speak.
"...Superior...Why are there extra tables for just thirteen of us? These tables fit about four people, and there are...five of them...?"
A low chuckle was heard from the superior. "Ah, but are there really only thirteen of us?" He asked, keeping a little cryptic tone to his words.
"...Huh?" Axel asked in a monotonous tone. Roxas sweat dropped and sighed.
On a purposeful cue, three portals opened up on the beach. Everyone jumped Who else could possible generate a portal other than themselves? A cloaked form stepped out. Almost instantly, twelve of the thirteen members called their weapons, leaving Xemnas the only one unarmed.
"Ah, our new recruits have come..."
Larxene gasped, several of the male members muttered something under their breath or cocked an eyebrow. Demyx stared at Xemnas dumbfounded, and the rest of them stared at the portals with anticipation.
The first of the recruit stepped out from the portal, weapon in hand. The hood was already down, showing the new member's face. His hair was a mixture of black and red that came up above his shoulders. His body was thin but well built for his age. His eye colors were different, making them unique. His right eye was pure sapphire color and the left eye gold and hazel. He had an earring on his right ear, a silver cross and a necklace with one black ring. (A/N: Guess who he resembles with? XD)
His weapon was a pair of black nunchucks, bigger than the normal size. He did a few basic tricks, showing off his skills. The boy held his weapon, when little tornados began to form at the ends of each bar. He aimed them to the grassland on his right side, and shot them, creating a long, large strip of dirt and rubble from the aftermath.
The black nunchucks were then connected, the silver chain that connected the bars becoming a little wrist hold. At the ends of the stick were replaced by blades, similar to Xaldin's weapon. He started to spin his spear above his head, spinning it in great speed. With the speed, the air around the area was gathered to form a gigantic tornado. Around the members was a barrier, so they were safe from being sucked in. The boy then pointed the tornado at the cliff not far from the group, and suddenly burst toward the large rock, causing a great explosion. When the members looked up, they saw that the cliff was gone.
Xemnas was impressed by the little talent show, his hands clapping slowly. "Fabulous...State your name Number XIV."
The boy looked at his now to be leader, bowed slightly. "Raxki" His voice was clear, and seemed to melt the gay and non-gay men to look at him, including Roxas and Axel. Larxene was annoyed by the new pretty boy, and looked away.
"Just to let you all know, Raxki isn't like any other Nobody, but a Somebody."
Larxene gave another gasp, and the men's eyes grew wide. A Somebody? In a Nobody Organization?! Xigbar was the first to protest. "You can't be serious! Why do you allow a kid, with a heart, to join the Organization!?" This was everyone's question, except for Axel, who thought it was interesting.
"Because he may help finding the Heart sooner than all of you think. He has some kind of relation with the person..." Xemnas stopped speaking and looked down to find a blade by his throat. The members got up from the chairs, with their weapons in hand. He looked over at Raxki, who was glaring back at him.
"Say more and I'll possibly erase you . . . boss"
"...You may step down Number XIV."
Taking in his new title, Raxki swiftly put away his weapons and walked over to one of the empty table near Roxas and Axel's, sitting on it instead of the chair. The members eyed him as he was sitting on the table, his arms crossed over his chest. They had to admit secretly, but the kid had guts to point his weapon at their leader.
Axel found the new kid quite attractive, and grinned at him. Raxki saw the pyro's grin but turned away. He was surprised that Raxki didn't stare at his grin for ten seconds, for that is how long usually people around would take.
"Raxki! You shouldn't be threatening our boss like that!" The members looked over to the second portal to see the next person coming out.
The second of the recruit came out skipping, a thin figure. It was a girl. The bottom zipper was zipped up to her stomach, showing her sleek legs and belly button. Her hood was down, showing her appearance. Her hair was pure silver, tied up to a pony tail. Her eyes were a silver-greyish mix, had earrings shaped of a music note, and a black choker on her neck. She giggled and winked at Demyx, who soon blushed mad.
Her little show began by putting on black leather gloves. She started to concentrate and quickly smashed her fist to the ground, causing it to shake violently and cracking it. So she was strong as Lexaeus, oh but this didn't end her show just yet. "Boss, is it okay if I ask assistance for my next show?" Xemnas looked annoyed and chose Larxene, who said incoherent words before coming up right in front of the girl.
"So what do you want me to do? Erase you?" She was really hoping to erase the brat.
"Oh no, no! I'm just studying you" the girl said giggling.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me...Done! I'm gonna warn you lady, try not to get yourself erased, okay?"
Oh, annoyed Larxene to "I'm-gonna-pumble-you-torture-you-then-erase-you" Larxene had came out. She took out her knives and threw them at the girl, who dodged them swiftly and jumped up in the air. She clapped her hands and hid her face with her left hand. Black smoke gushed out, embracing the girl around her whole. Larxene threw her daggers at the black smoke only to get deflected. The smoke slowly cleared from the girl, and landed gracefully onto the sand, looking up.
Larxene was stunned. Right before her eyes was...herself? The girl stood up smiling. "Thank you for letting me study you and your attacks" She took out what it seemed to be her weapon: a black chain whip. Then girls' face had changed from a soft, joking girl to a killer's face. The chain consisted of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain. It had a metal handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other. A white cloth flag was attached near the dart end of the whip, and an extra second flag for covering the whip's handle. She looked exactly like Larxene, but had different weapons.
Even though the girl looked like her, Larxene knew she still had the advantage of this little fight. The Savage Nymph concentrated her power to call forth lightning. The sky started to rumble and spark. Larxene raised her hand, knives in between her fingers, and lightning bolted down onto it, charging up. Meanwhile, the girl started to whip her whip around herself, speed increasing. The chains made jingling sounds and glowed in silver light.
The charge was done, and Larxene glared at the younger teen. "Don't play with me brat" She threw her charged knives at her, speed much greater than before. The silver light from the chain glowed brighter, and she held her weapon at Larxene. The chains floated, and when the knives came at her, the whip automatically deflected them. Larxene was speechless, watching her knives fall onto the sand.
The chain was still floating around the girl, and darted towards the Savage Nymph. The blade struck her through the chest, continuing to stab through her body. Larxene was screaming in pain when the chain was zapped her inside out.
Marluxia couldn't bear to see his closet comrade being almost erased, and made for a warp to them, only getting stopped by his Superior.
"Number XV! Enough with your plays. Don't erase your own kind just yet!"
The girl looked at him and looked at the motionless body bonded with the chain in front of her. She shrugged, pulled out the chains from her body and threw Larxene at the water, only to get caught by none other than Marluxia. She put away her weapon and walked to Xemnas, who was angered by the girl's action.
"...State your name"
The girl turned was already back to her "happy" self. "Aha! Name's Nexia! At your service!" She chirped.
"...Go and sit down"
"Aye, aye sir!" She skipped to the tables and sat in a chair near Raxki. Marluxia only glared at her, cradling Larxene in his arms, who was slowly recovering from the injuries she got from Nexia. The men swore that they wouldn't go near her, or else they were asking for their death wish.
"One more..." Roxas mumbled under his breath, loud enough that Axel could hear. He glanced at him, catching the blue eyes watching him.
"You're that eager to see the last recruit?" His eye brow-cocked, seeing the blond looking back at him eyes full of wonder. Axel just chuckled and messed the blond's hair. "I see"
At that cue, the last recruit came out from its portal. Raxki and Nexia knew that this last one was going to be fun to watch. The last person stepped out this recruit seemed older. She looked at least in her twenties, having come out with her hood on. Roxas saw a glint, and guessed that the woman wore glasses. She pulled her hood back, revealing her face. Roxas was wrong about the glasses. The woman wore cool, black goggles with a pale orange glass across the black plastic. [A/N: Like the one Renji from BLEACH wore on his first appearance Her light blue hair was knotted into a long braid down to about to her waist.
She turned her head towards the two new members, who got up and walked toward her and Xemnas.
She raised her hands that started to glow faintly. The hands then started to make cracking sounds, like her bones were being shaped to something. This made Roxas and Demyx a bit sick, while the rest winced at it.
The glow faded, and her right hand was transformed to a large steel fist while the left hand became a large knife. She made a dash for the two teens that quickly got together to combine their powers and shot a energy ball at the older woman. Her back started to glow and was replaced by black wings. She dodged the ball of energy as she flew up and shot down at the teens. Raxki quickly blocked the blow from the fist while Nexia had her chain wrapped around the knife, the point almost touching her nose.
The woman stepped away to change her hands back and making wings disappear. Xemnas was slowly clapping, along with Vexen, Luxord and Xaldin.
"State your name Number XVI"
She stayed silent.
"Answer the question" Xemnas demanded in an annoyed tone.
Raxki stepped in holding out his arm between the two adults. "Her name is Alex. She will only talk to someone whom she trusts most. And I guess you haven't gained that trust from her yet."
"...Very well. Sit down"
"Come on Al! You can sit with me!" Nexia said happily as she dragged the older woman by the arm.
"...Stop pulling my arm Nexia" Her voice was calm and clear.
"Oh don't be cold! Let's talk!" Nexia chirped.
Even though the goggles were still on, everyone could tell that she was really annoyed. And they were getting annoyed by the other girl's chatting.
Xemnas was looking over the lower members and new members, the grin on his face growing bigger. "This concludes our new recruitment presentation. You may go back to your rooms, in this case you three, should be prepared by now. Dismissed."
Every member got up and started to open their portals, one by one stepping in. Axel stared at Raxki until he vanished within his portal. Roxas followed his gaze, and then, feeling annoyed and distressed at the same time, shoved past him and walked through a portal that appeared in front of him. Before Axel could catch him, it disappeared. He didn't quite know how to react to the sudden hostility, but he was about to go back to his room when he was stopped by Xemnas s voice.
"Axel! Come here, I have an assignment for you." Axel growled, but obeyed. His leader looked at him sternly. "This assignment is for you, Number VI, IX and XIII. I want you four to take the new members to the simulation room later on today for training. I need you to inform the others, for I have business to take care of." Axel nodded, opening his portal and walking through it. Xemnas smirked to himself and chuckled silently.
" Kingdom Hearts will soon be ours..."
