I can't believe it happened again! This time, Braig stole my notes on the negative memory engrams of the Shadow type Heartless. First Ienzo, then Even, now this.
I suppose it is partly my fault; if I'm going to borrow their labs after hours, I should do a better job of cleaning up afterwards.
But still, who do they think is doing this, the research fairy? They probably think that they are poaching each other's work. After all those idiots would do anything to impress Xehan... Master Ansem. It would never even occur to those sexist pigs that the 'assistant' that they belittle and overlook might be fetching coffee and taking notes during the day, and completing research beyond their primitive mumblings at night. After all, they can't even remember my name.
Which isn't to imply Master Ansem is like that. He is far more brilliant than any of us, and there is no way he would ever forget my name. Not that the others give him a chance to speak with me. But once I complete my control research, Master Ansem will have no choice but to acknowledge me.
Kairi looked on silently as Selphie finished reading the diary fragment. En route to the next world, the two girls had had the chance to get a decent night's sleep in the ship's small crew quarters and grab a brief breakfast in the ship's small galley. Rested and fed, they examined the sheet of paper the younger woman had found after the fight.
"Ansem; that's the guy who possessed Riku, right?" the nunchaku wielder asked carefully.
"Probably," the princess agreed, "I don't think it's a common name. And two Ansems who both researched Heartless seems too farfetched."
"And the woman who stole Gosalyn's heart worked for him," Selphie mused.
"It sounds like it," Kairi frowned thoughtfully. Before they could continue their conversation, Gadget's voice came over the intercom.
"We finally reached the next world," the mouse engineer announced, "The computer says it is called Middleton. And guys, there's a whole bunch of Heartless there too."
He pushed open the door unceremoniously, kicking up a cloud of dust. Since the previous inhabitant's destruction, no one had entered the room. Of course, the new guest had been the one to eliminate the owner of the lab.
"Now, where did you hide it, Vexen?" Axel asked the empty space, glancing around at the cluttered shelves.
