Organization XIII Proof of Existence by Walker of Nothing

Chapter 10: Uncertain Past

XxX

Xemnas POV

A lonely dank room, no windows, no doorway, no way out. They definitely didn't take anything to chance, the only thing more depressing then this room was the amount of melancholy in the air. I had a feeling that I was one of many that had spent their final moments here in this lonely room of nothing.

For what reason they were holding me I couldn't say, I found it strangely unsettling that they knew so much about me but I knew nothing about them. Only that one of them was a Servant, which probably meant that the other voice was a Master. It was a good thing I asked Mash about her being a Servant and details of the Magus that lead them. An uncertain past indeed, Magus and Servants vying for a magical object that could grant the winners an infinite amount of power. Such a power may exist, but I doubted that it would do us any good. Especially since Mash had explained that only Magus that were chosen and recognized with a Servant could ever hope to obtain it.

"How long must we suffer before we can feel whole again?" Empty words, I was lucky enough to find allies that considered me a friend. Ha! What hypocrisy, could someone of my caliber even be capable of such a thing? Then again, losing to Sora really changed me or maybe it was what he said before our final bout…

Flashback

"Xemnas, there's more to having a heart than just anger, rage and hatred."

"Perhaps, but even if what you say is true, it's far too late to go back."

End Flashback

Maybe it isn't too late to go back, after all, I sense the others have already found someone else to add to our rank. If they keep this up, then it will only be a matter of time before they find me. Once I figure out why they are holding me if any, I can start to devise a way out. They were smart to block my escape, some kind of powerful rune was placed on my will to prevent me from escaping. This girl was no novice, whoever she was they knew exactly what they were doing, I may as well be as good as stuck for the time being.

? POV

"What do you want to do about the target?"

"We hold him till further orders are given, until then he stays. Unless you have a better plan, Archer?"

"Oh no, I would never question my Master's directions, I live to serve."

"Good, as long as you know where we stand."

Luna POV

"Come on Mash, we've still got more ground to cover up here!" I was pretty confident that Velvet could hold her own. Afterall, she was the Lord of Calamity, that arm of hers may have looked like it was unusable. But I could sense something powerful, one day I hoped to see that power for myself.

"Coming Master, I haven't really found anything of use. Just some rocks and Tombstones, that's about it though." Velvet probably ended up finding the target while we've pretty much-found nothing at all. Oh well, couldn't be helped I suppose.

"Well let's go find Velvet, there's obviously nothing here of any interest." Of course the moment I said that I sensed we were not alone.

A group of Shadow Heartless appeared from the ground surrounding the two of us. "You ready Mash? Let's bash some heads!" With that, I leaped into battle summoning my Twin Lunar Fans slicing the first three or four creatures that were unlucky enough to get in my way.

"Right behind you Master," Mash summoned her shield bashing every Heartless in that got to close. Eliminating the first wave pretty easily considering they were just Shadows.

Then, a squadron of Gargoyles took their place along with what I believed Xemnas said were Wight Knights. Strange mummy like Heartless with bandages all around except around their eyes which glowed.

"Mash, cover me!" She simply nodded as she began to cast a chant while I rushed the Gargoyle and Wight Knight Heartless hoping that her spell took effect before I reached the enemy.

"Obscurant Wall of Chalk!" As Mash uttered those words I could feel my body shifting outside of time temporarily making me invulnerable to all attacks. I went on the complete offensive, slicing the wings off the Gargoyles while bashing the Knights in with the blunt end of my fans. One of the Gargoyles managed to fire off a spell but the attack was completely useless.

"Mash, time for the next one." She began chanting the second skill while I kept up the pressure thinning out the numbers somewhat. Just when I thought I had them on the ropes more Shadows showed but with Soldiers too. There must have been at least a few dozen of each, this was starting to get ridiculous.

I retreated back to where Mash was just in time for her to finish her defensive skill, "Valiant Wall of Snowflakes!" A defensive skill that converted our mental fortitude into a defensive buff, I could feel my body harden making us a little harder to hit.

I knocked down to Soldiers that tried to rush me, their fragile bodies disappearing as Mash pushed back a couple Shadow Heartless. They were closing in fast, we did our best to hold them off but to no avail. Damn, we were going to have to look for a way out of this mess and fast or we were screwed.

"I leave you alone for a few minutes and I find you surrounded by half the towns Heartless population." That voice, but how did she find us? Before I could even ask a flash of dark zipped past me. After a few moments, the creatures in front me started to burst into pieces darkness overflowing out of their bodies as they dissolved into nothing.

"What?" How was that possible, that was a least a dozen Heartless, gone just like that?

"What are you waiting for?" Velvet jumping into the fray tearing apart and crushing Heartless after Heartless leaving their dying corpses behind. She didn't have to tell me twice, nodding to Mash we joined the battle slicing and smashing every creature that got in our way. The mysterious person in black covering our backs with hacks and slashes filling my ears. Bodies in pieces littering the ground as their hearts disappeared slowly returning from where they came.

The rest of the stragglers tried to flee, but the black armored individual wasn't letting them get away that easily. With one final slash of their ax, the creatures writhed in pain as they slowly faded away the darkness spewing out of them profusely. One had managed to survive, but the knight crushed it underfoot disappearing into the darkness.

Velvet POV

"I swear I can't leave you two alone without you causing a mess of things." It's a good thing that Albedo and myself showed up when did or things could have been a whole lot worse.

"Velvet, no need to be so harsh, they are just children after all." Albedo's armor disappearing to be replaced with her normal attire. I would hardly call them children, but maybe she was right, maybe I was being a little harsh.

"We're sorry Master," Mash lowering her head as if being scolded.

"Yeah Velvet, we didn't mean to cause you any extra trouble." Luna too...well it couldn't be helped, there was an unusual amount of Heartless in the area for some strange reason.

"Velvet?" Albedo was giving me a reassuring smile that it would be alright. I still didn't get her sometimes, how could someone so sadistic be so caring towards us? Or at least a hollow version of it, we couldn't really feel emotion. More or less we knew what emotions to feel, but all we could do was offer a pretty convincing hollow reaction.

"It's fine, I'm one to talk considering if it wasn't for Albedo here I might not have been much better off." Mash and Luna seemed to be satisfied with those words, it was true after all. She really bailed all of us out. "Albedo has agreed to join us and has even offered to help us become stronger. Seeing as she has the most experience I think that it is only fair, we're going to need it."

"Anything to help Master," Mash, I could only imagine how much stronger she would get through this training that Albedo offered us.

"This is going to be great!" Luna as goofy as ever, it was hard to take her serious sometimes. She could be a pain when she wanted to be though, there was no doubt that.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Shall we, Velvet?" Nodding as I opened a Corridor of Darkness, we will get stronger, even if it took an eternity. That I swear, no matter the odds.
