Chapter 6: Enter: Zexion and Squishy
By: LadyShi-Chan

"What do you mean, 'partners'?!" Roxas and I spoke in union.

"Two of you shall work together on your missions, especially on this one..." Xemnas said.

"Why?! I never had a partner!" Roxas protested.

"And I don't want one, let alone need!" I said.

"I'm the Superior and what I say goes. Am I clear?" Xemnas demanded.

"yes sir..." We both grumbled.

"AM I CLEAR?!"

"SIR, YES SIR!!" We both said, afraid that he might eat us.

"Now, your mission is to destroy the heartless that have mysteriously appeared in this world...You both have been chosen as partners since the both of you are the fastest fighters here...Do you accept?" He said, as you both nodded, "Good, you can start whenever you're ready..."

"Thank you, superior..." We both said, leaving his office.

As you started to walk down the hall, Roxas said,

"Let's get this over with..."

"Gladly..." I said, walking out of the castle.

This was the first time I've ever stepped out of the castle. This world is so dark and gloomy. A light rain was falling so I put up my hood. No surprise, it always rains here in the 'World That Never Was'. I ran down the dark street; Roxas following my lead. I went down a few more streets and there was still no sign of the heartless. I just kept running until I reached Memory Skyscraper. The small heart shaped moon could be perfectly seen from here. Then, my necklace glowed a light purple. My necklace has the shape of the symbol of the heartless, hanging on a chain.

That necklace is connected to the darkness in my heart and it was warning me that heartless were coming this way. I quickly took out my weapons and attacked the heartless that came from behind me. Roxas saw them and summoned his keyblades. There was a small army of heartless behind us. There were shadow heartless, neo shadows, dark balls, wyverns, defenders, etc. I had to summon my own heartless to help. When I defeated one, two more took its place. After a while of fighting, I backed up and fought back to back with Roxas.

"Are they here because of your heart?" Roxas asked.

"Yes and no. I have so much darkness in my heart that some of the heartless think of my as their master or mistress, but most of them think that if they steal my heart, the darkness might get stronger..." I said, my hood falling off.

"Well, is it true?" He asked, swinging his keyblade at a wyvern heartless.

"Maybe...but I'm not sure..."

More heartless kept coming and we were already tired and clearly outnumbered. It was only a matter of time before Roxas collapsed from exhaustion in the middle of the fight.

"Roxas? Roxas! You idiot!" I yelled, killing another heartless.

I summoned more of my heartless to fight while I ran to check up on Roxas. Apparently, he was using too much energy on this mission. So, there I was, trying to fight off an army of heartless alone while protecting my partner/enemy. I needed help...badly...

At the top of Memory Skyscraper stood the same young man from before, looking down at the fight. A soft breeze blew his lavender-blue (sp?) hair off his face as he looked down at the girl. The smell seemed to be coming from her.

She looks familiar...

The girl was fighting off an army of heartless with Roxas, the Key of Destiny. She's very skilled with knuckle busters with sharp blades and she's very fast. She's also very pretty...Then, he noticed that the Key of Destiny fainted in the middle of the fight, leaving the girl to fend for the both of them. The army of heartless seems to be growing and the girl might not last long...

I closed my eyes in fear when a defender came to attack me with its large dog shield. I waited for the white sharp pain. One second passed. Two...Three? The impact never came. I opened an eye and found another Organization member in front of me. His back was facing me so I couldn't see his face, but I noticed an open book in his hands. He muttered a few words and pages from the book went flying towards the heartless, destroying them. I just stared in amazement; who said that books could never hurt anyone? When the heartless were all destroyed, the Organization member closed the book and turned to look at me. My eyes went wide with shock when I finally saw his face. He had short lavender-blue hair, covering his right eye which was light blue. He looked to be either 16 or 17 years old.

"You're Zexion, right?" I said.

"Yes...and you're not Kyaxia, are you?" He said, softly.

"...no, but you're Ienzo's nobody..." I said.

"Yes and you are Kyaxia's somebody...Ienzo's best friend?"

"Yes...do you remember me?"

"I know about you, but Ienzo's memories were erased from me not so long ago..."

"Oh...anyway, thank you for helping me..."

"No problem...now, help me get #13 to stand..."

I grabbed Roxas' arm while Zexion grabbed the other. I supported his weight while Zexion summoned a portal for you. At the other side, we reached Roxas' room. No wonder people called him emo. His room was completely black and gray, but it was kind of small. Zexion and I went to put Roxas on the black silk queen sized bed when Axel and Demyx suddenly walked in.

"Is Roxas ok?" Axel asked.

"He's ok...he just passed out from exhaustion..." I said.

"Well, Roxas has been fighting off heartless, day and night for a week and a half..." Axel said.

"Really?" I asked, shocked.

"Yeah; why do you think that he isn't around much lately and why he hasn't hurt me these days?" Demyx said, smiling.

"True..."

Then, we heard a small groan. We all turned around to find Roxas waking up.

"What...happened?" He asked.

"You fought the heartless to exhaustion and I had to save you and 'Kyaxia'..." Zexion said.

"Oh..."

"Why don't you get some more rest? We'll ask the Superior to get me another partner to fight the heartless with until you're feeling better." I said.

Then, a strange, small shadow heartless walked inside from under the door and walked towards me.

"Oh My Gee! A Heartless! Kill it!" Demyx screamed, hiding behind Zexion.

"I'll kill it..." Axel sighed, summoning his chakrams.

"No! Don't kill Squishy!" I said.

"Squishy?!" Everybody else asked.

"Yes, my pet! Squishy!" I said, picking up the strange little heartless.

It was a strange heartless indeed; it had light green eyes instead of bright yellow eyes and a strange green diamond on its chest. I hugged it and it let out a small 'squeak!'

"It's kinda cute..." Demyx said.

I put Squishy down and he started to chase Demyx!

"AAAHHH!! Heartless!" He yelled.

"Evil Squishy!" I said, smiling.

"Axel! Help!" Demyx yelled.

"...Nah!" Axel said.

"WAAHHHH! MOMMY!!"

"Where did you get that?" Zexion asked curiously.

"It just came to me when I was little and since it didn't want to take my heart, I decided to keep it ever since..." I said.

"I like it...it's doing my job for me..." Roxas said.

"HELP!" Demyx yelled.

Squishy's thoughts: Food!

The next few days, I spent all of my time in Zexion's library, reading books about the secrets of the heart. If Zexion was really Ienzo's nobody, then he must have some secret records and reports of when he was Ansem's apprentice. He had to have something about the darkness, about Ansem's experiments, even about myself...


Roxas' P.O.V

Roxas was in the library with Axel, Demyx, Zexion and Squishy, spying on 'Kyaxia' who was reading a whole bunch of books on one of the silver desks.

"What is she doing?" Roxas asked.

"I don't know...she's been in here for the last few days..." Axel said.

"I wonder what she's looking for..." Zexion said.

"Hey Squishy, do you know?" Demyx asked.

The small heartless cocked its head to the side and blinked at Demyx. It appears that Demyx is learning to like the evil Squishy. When he went to pet it and it didn't chase him again, he took it as an act of friendship and put a large green ribbon around Squishy's neck. Roxas thinks that Squishy hates it... The small heartless ditched them when they started to argue with Demyx towards 'Kyaxia'.

Squishy's P.O.V.

Little Squishy appeared besides its owner and looked up at her, its antennas twitching.

"Hello Squishy. Wanna help me? I'm looking for Ienzo's possible records or something..." She said.

Squishy's eyes widened at it heard what she said. It understood what she was talking about. It ran towards one of the book cases, looking for something. At last, it found a rather old brown book and gave it to its owner. She scanned the cover of the book when her eyes widened in shock.

"This...is Ienzo's journal..." She spoke softly.

Squishy nodded slightly.

"Thanks Squishy! You're the best!" She smiled.

Squishy's thoughts: I know...

With a flick of her wrist, a large black door that leads to her room appeared and opened in front of her. She walked through it and it closed behind her. Squishy went back to the others who were still arguing.

"Hey, where is she now?" Axel asked, noticing Kyaxia's absence.

"She's in her room..." Zexion said, locating her through her smell.

"Let's go!" Demyx said and they all left the library.
