A/N: BlackChaos here. As you all know, I have been somewhat, "Lacking" in reviews, and as such I have held this chapter hostage for a few days. Thank you, for those who reviewed, you have sped up the process of continuation! Have a cookie! (Gives cookies) Anyway, enjoy this chapter, it's the beginning of the War for the Castle that Never Was, and due to the kind Aris-5221, another member has arrived. Enjoy, BlackChaos, out.
The First Assignment
Things had become quite serious. Due to the revelation of the coming attack from the enigmatic Norman, Xemnas called an emergency meeting to discuss a course of action. Everyone was required to give some input, as the situation could be quite grave, however, at the same time, a new member had arrived, which was good, as more allies would be needed for the coming fight.
Hastily, the young woman rounded the steps. Xemnas had told her to hurry to the meeting this day, as she would also be requested to give some input to the situation. The white lights bouncing off of her body, her blue hair reflected the light from its tight restraint behind her back, going down in a slender line on her back, and over a large shuriken on her back. Her body seemed strong enough, but obviously, as it was with every Organization member, their build wasn't enough to determine skill. She opened the door...
"Superior."
"Number XIX, you're just in time, we were about to begin."
The young woman glanced around the room, first spotting the stern faces of Maragex and Nex, who had briefly stopped their conversation about strategies for the coming battles, to look down at their new comrade. The others she seemed friendly enough towards, but she really seemed warmest towards Maragex and Nex, the most serious in the room at the moment.
"Hello, I'm Rennex."
"Please, Number XIX, take your seat, we must begin."
"Of course, Superior." She opened a portal and sat on her throne.
Xemnas laced his fingers together, and leaned back in his seat.
"Now then, this new adversary will quite possibly be more vicious than Number XIV, which is indeed a problem. We must find a way to prepare ourselves..."
As Xemnas said this, a dusk scurried into the hall, sending its silent words to all.
"My lords, the castle is under attack!"
"Heartless?"
"No, they are like nobodies, but..."
With that, the dusk collapsed, and a creature was seen behind it having stabbed its hand where the dusk's heart would have been.
As the creature charged forward, an energy bullet appeared in its head, and it collapsed. All stared to the other end of the room, and Chandex sighed as he put away his crossbow.
"...Different..." Chandex murmured.
Without another thought, the Organization split up into different sections of the castle to defeat the intruders.
Finally, they were forced to the gate, where a larger force was waiting.
"Tch, this is Norman's work!" Maragex charged through several of the mysterious creatures, tearing them to pieces.
Skelex, getting the general idea, took her hammer and began to swing away, slamming enemies left and right.
"One, two, three..."
"You actually expect to keep count?" Larxene asked in amazement as she threw a kunai into another creature.
"Sure, why not?"
Larxene just smiled.
"I like you, newbie."
So the two continued their little contest to see who could kill more of the creatures.
Zexion began to entrap the creatures with illusions, then Chandex and Xigbar began to snipe the creatures one by one, taking several out in a matter of seconds. While Xigbar would from time to time shift through the field, using his powers of space to get at different angles, Chandex just kept his composure and used no cheap tricks to kill his enemy easier, he worked with the angles he got, and managed to take out more than Xigbar.
"Jeez, dude! Take it easy!"
"...Impatient..."
"Right..."
Meanwhile, Vexen had decided that if anything, he would get some experimentation out of this, so he pulled out an assortment of chemicals, specifically, those of the most reactive section in the Periodic Table of Elements, the Alkali Metals.
"Let's see here, I wonder what will happen if..." Vexen's grip tightened on a vial, and the vial became a dark blue as ice gathered near the base.
"Axel! Care to help me with an experiment?" Vexen asked enthusiastically.
Axel blinked as he saw the vial.
"Vexen, what is that?" Axel asked with concern.
"Oh, just a frozen vial of Cesium. Care to defrost it?"
Axel smirked.
"You actually WANT me to burn something?"
"Yes. Now will you do it?"
"You don't have to ask me twice!"
Vexen threw the vial toward a group of the creatures, and Axel threw a fireball at it, which proceeded to engulf the area in a mysterious purple flame.
"Fascinating. I've got another batch of chemicals here as well. Care to help me out with the rest?"
"Oh yeah!" And so the cycle continued, Vexen writing down notes as he threw different chemicals.
Meanwhile, Rennex and Nex were back to back, circled by another group of the creatures.
"What are these things?!"
Nex remained silent as No-name emerged to attack.
"Kill."
Nex just smiled.
"Have fun, No-name, go all out if you want."
No-name just smiled as he pulled back his fists.
"Crush, decimate, obliterate, slay, carve, maul, ravage, ANNIHILATE!" The frenzied heartless screamed as he waded in. In the blink of an eye, No-name was everywhere, crushing them, mauling them, everything he said he'd do.
"...Wow..."
"You'll be all right. Let's just get some fun in before No-name gets rid of all of them!"
"Right!" Rennex focused, and began to lift several into the air, smashing them together, or slamming them back into the ground.
Nex just smiled.
"Psychokenisis?"
"Yep. I like it, much more than the shuriken."
Nex just smiled, he knew he'd get along with this girl. While she bounced them around, Nex just began a fist-filled frenzy, sometimes even biting them.
Finally, it was over, and the creatures were gone.
Xemnas just groaned.
"Everyone! Back to the meeting Room!"
They all filed back in, and waited until Xemnas was seated at his spot.
"Now then, that was just the beginning. Those things..."
"No-ones." Nex interrupted.
"Huh?"
"They're No-ones. Creatures like Nobodies, but they have hearts, they just haven't fully refused with them. They're basically Nobodies with hearts."
"Ludicrous!" Saix interrupted.
"I know."
"This doesn't surprise me." Maragex seethed out.
"Hm?"
"Norman's been dwelling in darkness so long, it was only a matter of time before he became a Nobody. Now, he obviously found his heartless, and became this."
"That makes sense." Nex nodded.
"Now then, we must prepare. I will send out a team of members to get some files in Hollow Bastion. I want those files by tomorrow, undamaged. Who knows what we can get out of them." Xemnas ordered.
Maragex stood up.
"I'll go."
"Fine."
Nex rose up next.
"Me too."
"Good."
Then Rennex got up.
"I'd like to go too, sir." Maragex and Nex just stared at her.
"What? I'd like to at least get out of this madhouse for a little while." She said with a smile.
"Fine."
Maragex and the others left that evening.
After an evening of work, they returned the next morning, and Saix was the one who met them first. Which led to some serious problems of in-fighting...
"What do you mean some of the documents got destroyed?!"
Saix was pissed. So pissed in fact, that he cut off Rennex in mid-explanation.
"Save it, I don't want to hear it. Superior trusted you with this assignment, and you've already proven useless." He thrust his arm forward, and sent Rennex flying into a wall, where she lay limp.
"Rennex!" Maragex roared.
"And you! Number XIV, Superior thought you would have at least some control over the situation. You're useless." Saix walked toward the wall and pulled back his hand, but as he thrust forward, his hand was intercepted by something.
"You just made a big mistake, Number VII." Nex growled as he revealed himself.
"Never, ever, harm my friends, and don't think I'll let you get away with this." He threw Saix across the room, where he too, was implanted in a wall.
Slowly, No-name rose out of the floor, and stared to Nex.
"Kill?"
"No, No-name, not yet. Come, Maragex, let's get her to the infirmary, Lexaeus should be able to take care of her. No-name, watch him." Nex jerked his head to Saix as he lifted Rennex in his arms.
He opened a portal, but turned back again.
"No-name!"
"Hm?"
"Decimate." Nex growled.
No-name just smiled.
Slowly, they entered the portal, and Saix's cries of pain could be heard throughout the castle...
