I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Rise of the Guardians.

A/N: For those of you who didn't see that the author's note in the last chapter has been changed to a full chapter, now you know. Hopefully you can go back and read it if you have time. Secondly, I have made a trailer for this story. It's on youtube: /MKZ6t_dLTek

And lastly, I want to thank C.D. Meiss for helping me walk through the idea of what the name for the ROTG world should be!

Chapter 7

What Rixa didn't know, was that Jack had gotten back before the others and with seeing the whole thing. "But, if you join me, you'll never have to feel fear ever again. Just think about it, I'll be back in a few days to hear your answer."

The man then walked backwards, back into the shadows, and disappeared. And that's when, Roxas' baby blue eyes opened, staring up at Rixa. "Rixa? Where are we?" She smiled when she noticed he was awake, "we're at the North Pole. There was something wrong with you, you kept attacking everyone."

"Oh…" Roxas pondered this for a second, we'd better head back. Saix will go berserk if we're not there to get our next missions." "You go on ahead of me, I need to make sure that they know that we're leaving."

And so Roxas opened a portal and left, leaving Rixa by herself, all alone at the North Pole. What he arrived at, was to say the least, a state of complete chaos. The only person left in the gray room with Demyx was looking around nervously. When Demyx all Roxas, he sighed in relief and grabbed his wrist, pulling him down many, many hallways.

"Demyx? What's going on?" Demyx paused for a moment, slowing down only slightly, "Xemnas called a meeting, he says it's important and I was sent to wait for you and Rixa. Where is she anyway?" "She got caught up in the mission, she decided to stay just a while longer."

Just as Demyx had said, the throne room is filled with the other members. The room went silent as they entered and Xemnas fixed his cold, and emotionless eyes on the pair, "Where is #15?" Roxas took a deep breath before answering, "She had to do something for the mission, sir. She said she join us shortly."

Xemnas nodded, not pushing the issue. Demyx and Roxas took the spots as Xemnas cleared his throat. "Today is a joyous day for celebration. We found an ally in the darkness." He gestured his hand to the side and out of the shadows stepped the man who tried to control Roxas earlier, Pitch Black. Even as he saw him, that familiar feeling of fear was constricting inside his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Pitch smiled, seeming to look straight at Roxas, "it's my pleasure to be here. Together, we will complete Kingdom Hearts and rule the worlds." The statement was met with silence, but the anticipation of everyone could be seen on their faces.

Xemnas nodded approvingly, "you are all dismissed." As soon as that was said, Roxas bolted from the room through portal. He wanted to be as far away from Pitch as possible. Being so focused as he was, he didn't even think to portal to his room, running all the way there.

The door slammed shut behind him and he slid down against it, breathing heavily. His nonexistent heart was pounding heatedly in his ears. But there were some things even his door couldn't keep out. The swish of another portal should not have been a surprise to him, but it was.

He looked up in a panic and let out a sigh of relief when he saw his two friends. Demyx stared at him, a little bit confused as to why he was acting this way. Axel just looked worried as he kneeled down by his younger friend. "What's got you so nervous?"

"That guy back there, he was there on my and Rixa's mission. He brainwashed me somehow. He isn't a good guy." "If he is making you so nervous, should we even stay?" Axel turned with a shocked look at Demyx's statement. He was actually talking about leaving the organization, which was surprising because Demyx never wanted to take risks.

"So, what do you guys think?" Demyx asked meekly, hoping he wasn't alone in the decision. "Let me get this straight," the flurry said, cocking an eyebrow at him, "You want us to leave the Organization, become traitors to them and go off on our own?" Demyx nodded. "Count me in then," Axel laughed. Roxas smiled, "Me too." The two high-fived as Demyx broke off in a wide grin.

"What about Rixa?" Roxas asked suddenly, and all excitement in the room ceased immediately. "Where is she anyway?" Demyx asked cautiously. "We actually got spotted on our mission by some locals, and she stayed back to tell them we were leaving." "So then we go get her." Axel declared, looking over at Roxas, he continued, "What world were you two on anyway?"

"The Realm of Belief," Roxas says quietly. "Lead the way, Roxas." And with that, Roxas opened a portal back to the Pole.
