~Beings~Abducted~
Xemnas walked back inside and Larxene followed quickly. Axel stood in place for a little longer before shifting Zakix in his arms and following his Superior.
When the pyro caught up to the others, Xemnas was talking to Saix.
"I want you to get the rest of the Organization up and tell them to meet up by the castle's back entrance. And wait there for me."
"Yes Sir."
Saix walked away quickly, glancing at Zakix before turning a corner.
"Superior, what's going on? What the hell just happened?!" Larxene asked, raising her voice.
"Why is it so unusual, XII? Each one of these Organizations members has their own ability, so what is abnormal about hers?" Xemnas didn't even look at the blonde woman.
"What's unusual is what I felt! NOBODIES DON'T FEEL EMOTIONS SUPERIOR!"
"What do you mean by feel?" This time the silver haired man acknowledged her presence.
"I felt…afraid…for loosing someone else…" Axel said quietly from behind them.
"And what about you Larxene? Relief? Maybe happiness?"
Larxene only walked further from the two men and the girl, glaring in a direction that they couldn't see.
When the party of four reached the back entrance of the castle, there was another group of Nobodies waiting, talking amongst themselves.
"Finally…" Said a sleepy Demyx, "Why didn't you guys just teleport here?"
"We had important things to discuss." Was Xemnas' reply.
He opened up a portal and gestured the others to enter it.
The space they entered was a glass-like room with a large crystal sphere in the middle.
"Everyone, please, look into the crystal. I would like to show you the effect that Zakix has on us."
The crystal emitted a strange light and the Nobodies watched in silence.
*in Halloween Town: Dr. Finklesteins lab*
"Sora, I'm so glad you're here." Said the scientist.
"You called us here sir? What did you need?" the boy asked.
"Ah, yes. I would like you to bring me a specimen. One of those Nobodies would be perfect."
"Why would you want one of those?" Kristina, a new friend of Sora's, asked.
"Simple, they are very interesting creatures. And I would like to study one."
"Umm…I don't know if that's such a great idea. They won't come quietly, since they're kinda our enemies…" Sora stated.
"Oh whatever!" exclaimed Kristina, "Last one to the Gummi ship is a rotten egg!" The brunette girl ran out of the lab quickly.
"Kris!! That's not fair!" yelled Sora as he ran to catch her, while Donald and Goofy ran towards the ship themselves.
--
"I win!!" shouted Kris as Sora started the ship.
"Hmpf…" Sora jut ignored her.
"So…where are we headed?"
"The World That Never Was of course!" The boy smiled brightly and directed the Gummi ship towards the bleak world.
"Wow, and here I thought that my world was scary!" Kris said as she looked outside the window.
"Your world is meant to be like that though…The World That Never Was is just like that unintentionally…I think…" Sora was quieter than usual.
"You mean dark and uninviting?"
"Exactly!" he laughed.
--
Upon their arrival, there were no enemies to be seen.
No Heartless, No Nobodies, and no Organization.
Sora and his group made their way to the giant castle that looked empty. The group decided against just barging in and looked around outside for any other way to get in.
"Hey guys," Kristina whispered, "I think I hear voices!"
She ran quietly in the direction of the sound, Sora and the others close behind.
A giant, dome-like, structure was where they stopped. Hushed voices could be heard from the inside, but they soon hushed, the small group had been discovered.
"Well, well, hello Sora." A familiar voice said.
Sora took out his keyblade and prepared to fight, and Xemnas smirked.
"Don't forget about us, old man!" yelled Kristina, while taking out her own weapon and running towards a random member that might have been Xigbar.
The fight commenced and even though they were outnumbered, the smaller group held their own. It was then when Sora noticed Axel. He was still holding an unconscious Zakix, and he was avoiding battle.
"Kris! I found a perfect target! Cover me!!"
Kristina made it to Sora's side quickly, and he surprised Axel with a quick attack. Without time to react, Axel was knocked down, letting go of the girl in his arms. In that same instant Donald and Goofy grabbed Zakix and made their escape.
With the Organization behind them, the small group made their way to the ship and left the world with only seconds to spare.
"I wonder why she hasn't woken up…" Kris said, sitting next to the girl, who was lying on the floor.
"I wonder if she's new to the Organization…" Goofy said.
"Yeah, I don't remember her at all!" added Donald.
"Well at least we completed our mission!"
"Yeah!" chimed everyone in unison.
--
Axel could only watch as he saw the ship leave with Zakix.
He had no idea why they had taken the girl, and he had no idea where. More odd emotions swept through his body as he thought of the questions that he had no answers for.
"Axel," Xemnas called, "that girl looked like she was from Halloween Town, correct?"
The pyro just stared at the man.
"Things could get very bad if something happens to her while she is away. So go bring her back."
"R-right, sir!" and with that, Axel teleported away.
--
"She is perfect! Job well done." Exclaimed Dr. Finklestein.
"Thanks!" Donald said, proudly.
"But, what type of experiments are you planning to do? 'Cause she looks like they might have hurt her…she's unconscious…and she looks so, frail…" Kristina said quietly, sadness lacing her words.
"WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO HER!"
Axel appeared from a black portal next to the table where Zakix was laying.
Kristina glared at the redheaded man, hate in her eyes.
"YOU!" she took out her weapon and pointed it at him, "You had to have done something!" the brunette charged towards Axel.
Zakix opened her eyes when she heard Kristina yell. As she took in her surroundings that she couldn't recognize, she saw Kris as she began to charge towards the redhead she remembered.
"STOP!" she cried out, and got up to block the other girls' path.
Everyone stared in shock at the blonde girl, and Axel smiled.
