The Four Nobodies headed to the ramen shop. Naruto was pleased, he liked the ramen there.
"Hello costumers welcome to Twilight Ramen how can I help you" said the Casher. She knew she was going to make a lot of money. It was four customers and Xaldin was famous for having a big appetite.
"Oh I guess I'll have the usual" said Xigbar. His usual order is the misu ramen with an Olympus Brand Coke.
"I will have the Beef ramen with a cup of lemonade" said Xaldin.
"I will have the same as he" said Vexen. Vexen does not usually know what to get when he orders food so he mostly chooses the same as everyone else.
"I will have everything their having" Naruto said as he pointed at his three friends.
"This kids got a big apatite" Xaldin thought liking that there was finally someone in the Organization that can match his appetite.
"Naruto don't be a gluten. Just pick something we can all manage" said Vexen irritated by the boy's savage outburst of gluttony.
"Alright fine I guess I will have the shrimp ramen" Naruto said disappointedly.
The four nobodies waited for their food patiently.
"So why do you like ramen so much?" asked Xaldin
"Don't really know I just love it. I can sit here all day and just eat boll after boll" Naruto said smiling.
"You should try some other foods as well it is always good to have versatile tongue" said Xaldin.
"Hey you guys I didn't know you were here" said an approaching voice.
The nobodies turned around to see Demyx with sea salt ice-cream.
"Oh it's the water squirt what are you doing here" said Xigbar insulting the sitarist.
"Hey don't make fun of me you one eyed terd" Demyx responded.
"So what brings you here" Naruto said breaking up what was about to be a pointless back and fourth.
"Well Xemnas did not assign any mission for me today so I decided to explore the city. I was hanging with Axel earlier but he went to meet up with someone else so he gave me this Popsicle."
"Ok so Axel flat left you and you decided to bother us" said Xigbar annoyingly.
"Well I guess you can say that. Please don't kick me out man. I really don't want to be excluded" said Demyx.
"Well I think you sho…." Xigbar said before he was cut off.
"Ah you could stay. You're not really bothering anyone" Naruto said sympathizing with the sitarist.
"GREAT" Demyx said as he sat next to Xigbar. Xigbar gave him a look of discuses. He was actually found of the sitarist, but lately he seemed to be getting annoyed with his constant ones.
Their ramen finally arrived. At that moment Zexion arrived from the darkness.
"Vexen your presence his required for our mission in castle oblivion" said then cloaked Schemer.
"I will be there shortly I am quite busy right now. When I am done with my ramen I will arrive" Vexen said. He and the other 3 nobodies turned around to see their ramen bowls empty along with Demyx's Popsicle stick and a full Naruto.
"Dude so uncool" said Xigbar
"I guess this boy can consume more than he can afford" Xaldin said annoyed and humbled at the same time.
"I can afford it" Naruto said as he pulled out a frog wallet filled with munny.
"Whoa where did you get all that cash" said Xigbar.
"It was in my old pants pocket. I brought it with me because I thought it would be useful" said Naruto
"Its seems he must make a lot of money at his job. I will have to ask Xemnas for a raise" thought Xaldin.
"Well with that I guess I will be going. Farewell everyone" Vexen said as he and Zexion walked into the dark corridor.
"Yeah I guess I'm going to. Later" Xigbar said as he teleported. With that their were only three.
"Well I guess we should go back to our world. Maybe next time we can try a different restaurant. I would see how your taste buds will take my favorite dish" said Xaldin as he paid the lady for another bowl to go. The three than left through a corridor and entered the world that never was.

Naruto arrived in the grey area, Xaldin and Demyx teleported somewhere else in the castle. The boy looked to see Saix on the sofa looking at some papers.
"Saix, was it?" Naruto asked. The diviner gave a simple nod. "What are you doing?"
"Reading. Why did you ask?" Saix responded feeling a bit displeased from being interrupted.
"Well I figured that since you're the only one here we could talk for a bit" Naruto said.
"So boy what do you want to talk about" asked Saix actually somewhat curious of what conversation the boy can muster.
"Why are their only fifteen members in this organization" asked Naruto.
"There was a time we had more members in the organization. But thanks to the endeavors of a keyblade warrior and his lackeys they were eliminated. As of now we don't really need more members we have lower rank nobodies to carry out other missions" said Saix.
"Keyblade Warrior"?
"Yeah… Besides Roxas and Xion there are others. The one we are focusing on now is a boy Named Sora. I believe he is currently in Castle Oblivion dealing with the assigned members."
"Oh so that's where he is. Now back to the subject about new members. The dusk are so weak. We need more members so we can be more dominant. We need more chicks. We're going to lo ok gay with the only hot chick hear being Larxene" said Naruto saving the Sora subject to later.
"What difference would it make if we get more woman or not. It only matters that we accomplish our missions" Saix said failing to see the point. In his eyes, it does not matter who is in the Organization just so long as his heart returns in the end.
"Yeah but we don't want it to be a sausage fest" said Naruto making complete sense.
Saix then pictured all the male members with sausages in their hands screaming Sausage Fest. "Yeah I guess your right I will talk it over with Xemnas" Saix said while teleporting away.
Naruto picked up Saix book. He was reading The Giver. "Well gee I wonder what this book could be about. Before he can finish the first page he was interrupted by a teleporting Luxord.
"Naruto just the boy I was looking for" said the Gambler.
"What do you want" said Naruto.
"I have a game for you. You see I am the only member that did not fully analiyze your copabilities. I wish to test you in the form of a mission" Luzord said.
"Go on."
"There are two Absent Silhouette in the castle. I want you to find and defeat them. You can choose any organization member to accompany you all aside from Marluxia, Larxene, Axel, Vexen, Lexeaus, Zexion, Xemnas and yours truly. Will you accept my challenge?
Naruto thought for this mission he should take Xaldin but he knows what Xaldin could do already. Same goes for Xigbar. He never saw what Saix, Roxas, Xion or Demyx could do. He noticed that Demyx was one of the weaker Org he does not know how he fights. "Fine I except your challenge. I will choose Demyx as my Partner" said Naruto confidently.
"Fine then let the game began" said Luxord as he and Naruto entered the corridor of darkness.

Back in the Ninja the akasuki held yet another meeting.
"That's another one" said Pain.
"Another?" Kisame respounded.
"Another life has been taken by an unknown force" Pain said.
"What does it matter to us that someone else dies, people die every day" Kisame siaid.
"Kisame what our leader is trying to say is that people are being eliminated by enemies outside of this realm. That aside the nine tailed jinchuriki is no longer in this world ether" Itachi explained.
"What do you mean beings from other worlds? What kind of gibberish are you talking about, hmm" Deidara commented.
"What he means is there are lots of other worlds out there. Do you remember Squad 0 from 4 years ago they were some of konoha's finniest. If I remember correctly that's the team of Jadie Hyuga, Lumaria Haruno , and Arlene Yamanaka, The Phoenix, the Elegant Saber and the Berserk Beauty; Otherwise known as the three Sparten Shinobi. If I am not mistaken you and Jadie used to be good friends" said Kisame. Itachi Stood quiet for a moment.
"So you know those three explain about their abilities" said Pain.
"Even thou I was friends with him it does not mean I have any knowledge of his powers. I am afraid I cannot help you" Itachi said dropping the attention off him.
"If that is the case then what was this person like when you were friends" said Pain.
"He was a person who truly did what he wanted and did not care about the consequences. He always strived to be the best and become stronger. He was always loyal to his friends and was a difficult warrior to defeat in the battle field. Last I heard from him was when he fled the village with his two party members. They were trying to find some new adventure. He wasn't the type to just like sitting around" said Itachi.
"So he was blood thirsty and he did as he pleased with no fear of the afterlife. With reckless behavior like that I doubt he survived. He probably dead somewhere" said Pain.
"I would not underestimate him. Even thou he has those characteristics that does not make him an idiot. He wasn't in team 0 for nothing" said Itachi.
"The question is whether he has any connection with these clocked warriors. Naruto is missing this does not fall to well with our plans. We must start moving faster. Deidara, Sasori go get the one tailed Shakaku. We need to get the preparations ASAP" said Pain.

Sasuke Uchiha stood in front of the Ninja academy. His previous days in the village were not good ones. Ever since he came back he was looked down upon by his pears. Even some of the older folks hated him. The only Person that did not treat him differently was Kakashi. Sakura and Ino have mixed feelings about the situations. He really felt like he ruined everything. He wanted power for revenge and it brought him nothing, he was blinded by his obsession to kill his brother and lost the only true friend he ever had in the process. What was he to do now? Could he possibly change? Was change even an option for him? Would it make a difference?
"Sasuke" said Kakashi approaching the Uchiha. "What are you doing sitting here by your elf?"
"Solitude is for failures like me. All I did was mess everything up" said Sasuke apathetically.
Kakashi sighed, "Ok sure you messed up. You really messed up. We all do it. We just have to be man enough to learn from our mistakes. Sitting here moping is not going to do anything. What happened between you and Naruto was tragic but do you think he would want you to lie around and do nothing"
"I killed him, Naruto is dead because of… because of me!" Sasuke yelled filled with sadness and despair. He had only felt this type of pain once, when his family laid lifeless in front of him.
"Even if that's the case, so what. You fucked up we all do. Just beating yourself up will do nothing. I highly doubt Naruto's dead. That boy could survive almost anyhting. He tougher than you think and he wants you to be tough as well, believe it." Kakashi said leaving Sasuke with some food for thought. "I got to go run some errands. I will catch you later." Kakashi said as he then vanished with ninja like speed.

Demyx entered the cavern of remembrance.
"Luxord told me I was to go on a mission with you" said Demyx with a confused look.
"Yeah I have to find two absent silhouette's somewhere in the castle" Naruto said.
"OK knowing Luxord he's puts the first one in an obvious place and will leave a clue in an obvious place and will leave some sort of clue that will lead to the second one" Demyx said
"It seems like you played Luxords Games before. What was your experience like?" asked Naruto.
"Well way back when me Axel and Xigbar played one of Luxord's games. Needless to say we lost" Demyx said remembering that fateful day.
"But one thing leaves me confused. What in the world is an absent silhouette?" Naruto asked.
"It's a type of nobody that mimics the appearance and the fighting style of deceased members. They can't speak, they only respond in chukles and grunts" Demyx explained.
"Saix told me that there were others Members but they were eliminated by the Keyblade wielders. Was it this Sora guy I have been hearing about?" asked Naruto.
"No it was not Sora it was another warrior and his friends. I am not sure what his name was but I know his keyblade was different then Sora's. It had a power that did not work in the organization's favor" Demyx said remembering the tale very vaguely.
"What happened to him and his friends?" Naruto asked.
"I am not sure of all the details but I believe his friends were eliminated and the warriors whereabouts are Unknown" said Demyx
"Gee I wonder what happened to him. At any rate I can find out more about Keyblades and warriors later. I think we should get started on the mission" said Naruto.
The three searched the castle for the absent silhouettes. They searched high and low even asking the dusk and other members around the castle for clues. After 26 minutes of searching, they finally came across the first one. It turned out to be in the entrance of the castle.
"Cyclops Hammer" Naruto read the symbol. It was a fist with the words Cyclops hammer on top. The symbol transformed into a warrior with silver hair and dark blue eyes wearing the organization robe. He had these two weights in his hand. He clapped his fist together and the battle began.
The warrior charged at Naruto with his fist sending him flying.
"Dance Water Dance" Demyx said as he used his sitar to summon water notes that explode on impact. They surrounded the warrior dealing minor Damage to him. He emerged from the water explosions and slammed his two fists in the ground creating an earthquake that nearly swallowed Naruto. The nine tailed boy emerged and shoot 15 gun arrows at the Warrior. The warrior's glided at top speed two Naruto trying to cave his face in. Naruto formed his chakra to the form of Vexen's Shield subduing the warriors attack. Demyx than rode a wave by using his sitar as a surf board. The wave he created fell on the warrior; the Warrior span around like a tornado creating a whirlpool. "ARGHHHHHHHH" the warrior screamed at the top of his lounges. "Perish" Naruto said. Naruto used his Chakra as a charging shield with three lances in a triangle formation. By the time he got to the Warrior the Warrior fist was in the form of a tornado and he punched Naruto sending him flying. Demyx then used his Sitar as a hammer as he tried bopping the Warrior in the back of the head. The warrior then punched Demyx in the face giving him a missing tooth and a terrible bruise. The warrior looked at the sitarist with a pleased expression only to see him poof in to thin air. The real Demyx sent an unblokable wave of water his way. "WHIRLPOOL RASENGAN" When the water had contact with the warrior Naruto Used his Shredding Rasengan in combination with Demyx water attack to end the silhouette's existence. The warrior faded away and was never heard from again.
"Wow that one was a dozy" said Demyx feeling a nit exhausted from the fight. There was card on the ground Naruto picked it up. It read so you defeated the hammer. The next one will be in the cage of the silent beast.
"Cage of the silent beast? Where do you think that could be?" Naruto asked
"Don't know. He's probably talking about one of the member's rooms. From the looks of it, could be either Lexeaus or Saix" said Demyx.
"Well then let's get to work" said Naruto.

Sora, Donald and Goofy walked through Castle Oblivion looking for their friend Riku "I just don't get it. Why would Riku try to attack me?" Sora asked..
"He probably doesn't remember who you are" said Donald.
"Remember Sora to find is to lose and to lose find. That's how things are around here Sora" Goofy said reminding Sora of the words of the first hooded figure he met.
"Yeah but sometimes I wish things were simple. Everything we done on this journey was such a struggle and now me and Riku are on bad terms again. I wish we could just go back to the islands and play like we used to" said Sora.
"The three of you are always together. Sora, Riku and Ka…. What's here name" said Donald.
"Me Riku and Namine" said Sora with a confident look on his face.

In the castle's basement Riku walked a journey parrelel to Sora's. Instead of looking for friends he was trying to fight the darkness that is Ansem still taking refuge in his heart."Just two more worlds to go then hopefully I will be cleansed of my darkness" said Riku.

In the lower level of the basement Lexeaus and Zexion spook of what the struggles that both heroes were going through. "So Vexen and Rikus replica are now testing Sora now?" asked Zexion..
"Yes… I find it odd that Marluxia would go this far into changing Sora's memories. There has to be more to the story" said Lexeaus.
"Perhaps but what would Marluxia have to gain by giving Sora fake memories? What could he possibly be planning?" Zexion pondered.
"I am not sure. One thing worries me though" said Lexeaus with a worried look.
"What is it?" questioned Zexion.
"The New member he worries me. From what I observed he is the type to follow his gut and make risky choices rather than using logic. This behavior can continuously set back our plans" said Lexeaus.
"Those matters are of little concern; if you look closely the boy is actually become more articulate. He is no longer the same child from that place. He may be a little ruff around the edges but in the end none of us are truly perfect. Besides I think Xemnas has taken a liking to the boy" said Zexion.
"Now you're thinking like the others" said Lexeaus.
"What others what are you talking about?" Zexion questioned.
"You're acting like Vexen and some of the other members. You once said to me before that he might make some members think differently. You are becoming one of those members" Lexaeus explained.
"Irrelevant, It does not matter whether I took a liking to him or not. All that matters is the mission. Remember our mission is to get hearts. With Naruto I think it could become a reality" said Zexion.
"Just watch yourself Zexion. Get too deeply involved and you might find yourself becoming different than what you are" said Lexeaus as he exited through a corridor of darkness.

Location: Final Valley
"How long has it been Lue or should I call you Marluxia now?" Jadie said.
"Lue is just fine. It reminds me of the good old days. When we traveled the universe through the darkness" Marluxia said feeling nostalgic.
"Well I'm sure you remember this place" said Jadie.
"Yeah this is where we started our new life. When we put the shinobi life behind us and went with DIZ" said Marluxia.
"So becoming a nobody didn't deplete your memory like some others" Jadie said raising an eyebrow from under his helmet.
"Me and Larxene remember everything even the way we died. Anyway, our plans are in motion the keyblade master will soon be ours and the organization will soon be our puppets" Marluxia said not wanting to fully elaborate on his prior demise. .
"If only my keyblade had the power to release hearts" Jadie said feeling inadequate.
"It doesn't matter. Your keyblade has a unique and better power all its own" said Marluxia.
"Yeah I guess" said Jadie.
"Remember if we were to fade away you would be the one to carry on our legacy" said Marluxia as he teleported away.
"Right".

In the castle Larxene stood watch over Namine."Wow our plan is going so well all thanks to you Namine. Now the toy will soon follow all of our orders and he will be ours to command. The memories of Kairi will be replaced by sweat little lies of you" said Larxene with a mocking tone.
"He won't forget. Even if I erase his memory it will never fade because … I am the shadow of Kairi" said Namine.
"Then that should be your incentive not to fuck anything up. If all goes well you can actually be somebody and not just Karai's shadow" said Larxene. Larxene then brought her attention to Namines Drawing. "And what is this" said Larxene.
"It's a picture of Naruto and his closest friends" said Namine. In the picture you saw Naruto in his old outfit. A pink haired girl and a boy with a blue shirt.
"It seems you know a great deal about his past" said Larxene.
"Yeah when Vexen took him in his memories were gone, I went through them but was only able to restore some. Others were left out because they would be problematic for the organization. Some of his memories should be forgotten anyway" said Naminme.
"Why do you say that" asked Larxene?
"Well he did not live a charmed life. He was picked on by the villagers because he was different. He always tried to assimilate himself with these people. Even though some of them accepted him there are always the ignorant ones. I believe he is better off not remembering" said Namine feeling bad for the boy.

The two nobodies entered Saix's room. It was one of the biggest rooms in the castle. They looked at Saix lying down on his sofa reading his book.
"What are you two doing here?" Saix questioned.
"We think there's an absent silhouette in here" said Naruto.
"Let me guess Luxord is playing games again" said Saix.
"Yeah we have to defeat them" said Demyx.
"Alright I guess I can be of some assistance. Besides I need to train anyway" said Saix putting his book away and joining the party.
The three looked in the corner to see a Symbol of a flute. It read Harvesting Hive. The symbol transformed into a woman with black and blond hair in a ponytail. She was wearing the organization coat. She drew her flute and the battle started.
She played her flute and a bunch of insect nobodies that looked like a hybrid of a bee and a battle attacked the three nobodies. Saix called upon the power of the moon and went to his berserk mode. The insects all tried to attack him but where all defeated with a swift swing from his Claymore. The warrior then played a different song and summoned prey mantis type nobodies. Demyx Created a wave of water and Naruto used Water Dragon Jutsu from the essence of the water. It hurt the insect severally but they were killed by Saix Drooping his claymore from the sky. She summoned more insects. This time it was both kinds. Naruto then decided to attack the girl. Six Chakra Lances came from the sky and pierced the girl. As she got back to her feet she was pummeled to oblivion by the Berserk Lunar Diviner. "ALL SHALL BE LOST TO YOU" he screamed while savagely slashing her in different directions. The warrior faded away from existence. She was subjected to a horrible fate.
"Wow.. you are something else" Naruto said to the reverting diviner.
"What you witnessed was my berserk form. In that form I have enhanced Attack, Defense, and Speed. The only bad side is that I fight blindly. I become a savage beast that only knows battle " Saix explained.
"You're probably one of the stronger members I could defiantly tell" said Naruto.
"Maybe we could spar one day" Saix said smirking.
"I will be looking forward to it" said Naruto. Naruto than felt something, an irritable feeling he could not quite place. Leaving Saix's room he told Demyx, "I'm going to Castle Oblivion, I going to check in with Vexen and the others to see if everything is running smoothly" Naruto said. Demyx gave him the thumbs up and Naruto vanished with the dark corridor.

"So feeling nostalgic" Vexen said as he teleported from the darkness. "Sora a question than for you. Your memories of Namine or your feelings here which of these are more real I wonder" Vexen said feeling quite slick.
"Namine of course. Whatever it is I bet it's just one of your mean little tricks" responded Sora.
Vexen chuckles," the memories wiles can be cruel. In its silence we forget. In its obessesion it binds our hearts."
"CUT THE RIDDLES!"
"I told you this place was created by another part of your memories. It is on the other side of your heart where this place exists. It is your heart that remembers" Vexen said while lifting an eyebrow.
"You're wrong I don't know this place" Sora said. He did not know what the man said was true he felt Twilight Town to be familiar but he just could not place it.
"If you remain bond by the chain of memories and refuse to believe what is truly found inside your heart. Then throw it away. You are not a Keyblade Master, just a slave to twisted memoires. Yes… exactly like my Riku" Vexen said summoning his shield. "Your exentence is worth NOTHING!"
"Like your Riku… worth nothing?" Sora became enraged. "THAT'S ENOUGH. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CHANGED RIKU EVERY WORD YOU SAID IS A LIE. I WOULD NEVER THROW AWAY MY HEART" he yelled summoning his Keyblade. "Im gonna take you down and save Riku and Namine. That's what's in my heart" and with that a battle started.
Sora begins the battle by using the basic three way attack. Vexen blocked all of his attacks with his shield. With this Sora knew he could only it him when he attacks. Vexen summoned a bunch of ice towers and watched as they followed Sora. When Sora finally got close to Vexen he used his keyblade and dashed continuously at Vexen. Vexen than used his diamond dust to eliminate Sora Quickly but to no avail because Sora used his trinity limit along with Donald and Goofy and ended the fight.
Vexen fell to his knees, "you have such strength ... even at the mercy of your own memories" said Vexen weakened from the battle.
"None of that matters just put Riku back" said Sora.
Vexen chuckled "Just put him back. The Riku you speak up has but one fate to sink into the Darkness and you will share that fate Sora. If you continue to seek the girl Namine the shackles will tighten... you will lose your heart and end up becoming Maluxia Pawn!"
"Marluxia... what does Namine have to do with" before he can finish his sentence Vexen was struck down by Axel's Chakram.
"Yo Sora are you having a good time" said Axel.
"Axel...WHY" said Vexen confused of the pyro users methods.
"I came to stop you from talking too much by eliminating your existence. We are just nobodies who have no one to be yet we still are. Yet you can be nothing instead of just being a nobody. You're off the hook" said Axel with an evil grin.
"No please don't! I don't want to" screamed Vexen
"Goodbye" before Axel could snap his fingers he was clawed by a chakra paw.
"Wha...what".
A cloaked warrior arrived from the darkness. He was about Sora height and his face was covered by his hood. "I can't believe you Axel. You would kill Vexen a fellow organization member" said the hooded figure.
"You... the Nine tailed boy. It's not what it looks like" Axel tried to plead but to no avail, Naruto's mind was made up.
"Vexen leave I will rid us of the traitor" said the coated boy.
"Thanks boy. I owe you one" Vexen said as he teleported away
"Now to kill you" the boy said while charging up his rasengan. Axel teleported away before the ball of chakra made contact. The boy then looked at Sora.
"So you're the Sora I've heard so much about" said the boy with a mellow tone.
"What... what are you some kind of demon" said Sora.
"You're completely wrong I am not a Demon. I am a god" said the boy with an evil tone. "Remember Keyblade Master everyone and everything has an ending" after those words the boy disappeared along with the darkness.
