Xion and Vanitas were riding passed the countless worlds on Vanitas's keyblade rider. Xion was staring at the sight in awe; she had never traveled through the worlds like this before, and she found it amazing. She realized at that moment that all that time she spent using corridors of darkness instead of doing this was basically time wasted.
After a few more minutes of riding on the keyblade rider, the two of them finally landed that was all too familiar to the both of them: The World That Never Was. They landed right in front of the Castle that Never Was, and Xion had never felt more nervous about the memories that haunted her here. As soon as they landed Xion removed her helmet and looked around at her old home curiously. "Nothings change huh?" Xion commented.
"Nope, and honestly I don't think it ever will." Vanitas replied as he unsummoned his keyblade rider and walked up to Xion, who was still staring at the world. "He is in there if you are ready."
Vanitas was now standing right next to Xion, staring at her as she stared at the castle. "Yeah, I am as ready as I'll ever be." She said as Vanitas and she made their way into the castle, Xion being prepared for her life to be changed forever.
…
Vanitas and Xion where now in the lobby room, (A/N: room in 358/2 days where you accept missions) waiting for Xehanort to show up. Vanitas had told the old man that he has someone who is willing to become the thirteenth replica, but obviously that wasn't important to him at the moment since it was taking him so long to get there.
Xion continued to stand next to Vanitas, clearly nervous by this since she was shaking. She didn't know how it would feel to have someone's heart come into you, and the thought scared her. And her heart beat more than a million miles an hour when she heard the door open. But when Xion turned, she only began to shake more, and it wasn't even Xehanort who entered the room. It was two people that Xion feared more than anyone in the world: it was Xemnas and Saix.
As soon as Xion saw the two, she hid behind Vanitas, using him as a shield. "Vanitas, what are they doing here?" Xion asked nervously.
"What do you mean? They are two of Xehanort's replicas," Vanitas then glanced over at the two, "Well at least Xehanort thinks one of them is for the moment." Xemnas then gave a death glare to Vanitas. The reason he said this was because Xehanort never really did forgive Xemnas for letting Terra take over his body, and Xehanort was calling him the weak link of his replicas. This made Xemnas mad, since he was one of Xehanort's most trusted replicas until that happened.
"Vanitas, when I was in the Organization with them, they hatted and used me." Xion replied to him as Xemnas and Saix walked closer over to them.
But before Vanitas could reply to her, Xemnas and Saix already where in front of the two. "Hello Vanitas," Xemnas said in a cold tone as Xion continued to hid behind Vanitas.
"Sup Xemnas, Isa." Vanitas said, which confused Xion since she had no clue who Isa was.
Saix, or Isa, then looked behind Vanitas at Xion. "Who is this girl with you?" He asked, as Xion then made a confused look on her face before showing her face to the three people.
"Xemnas, Isa, this is Xion," Vanitas said, "She is going to become our thirteenth replica." Xion then tapped on Vanitas's shoulder.
"Why did Saix just ask who I am?" Xion whispered.
"Xion, they can't remember you, well for now that is." Vanitas replied, whispering like she was.
Xemnas then looked at Xion curiously, as if he was trying to remember her. "So we will finally be able to clash with those lights?" Xemnas asked, causing many questions to pop in Xion's head, but she didn't say anything.
"Eventually yes, but until the two of you get your butts out of her so Xehanort and her can finally meet officially for the first time, I would get out of here." Vanitas said to them as he summoned a corridor of darkness behind him.
Isa then huffed. "Fine," Isa said as he and Xemnas walked towards the corridor, "Good luck Xion." He said before they vanished through the corridor.
Xion could finally breathe a sigh of relief as they left the room. "Thank you Vanitas." She said to the spitting image of Sora, who only nodded. But as soon as that happened, the doors opened again and Xion went back to her shaking; this time it was Xehanort.
"Xion, it is great to see you have finally come to your decision to become one of my replicas." Xehanort said as he walked closer to Xion, who was hiding behind Vanitas.
Xehanort now was standing right in front of them, and Xion did not say anything, so Vanitas spoke for her. "Actually, she will become a replica, but she has some questions and a condition." Vanitas said, which caught Xehanort off guard.
"Questions?" He said confused before trying to look at Xion, who was still hiding behind Vanitas. "Would you mind telling me what they are?" Xehanort asked her.
Xion the swallowed before she felt a cold hand touch her arm. She then looked at it to see the hand belonged to Vanitas, who was still facing Xehanort, but had his arm wrapped around so he could hold on to Xion, most likely since he knew she was nervous. She only smiled at this before she took his arm off her and walked out next to Vanitas. "Well… To start I just want to clarify, I will be able to use the kingdom key when I become a replica?" She asked.
Xehanort then nodded. "You will not only be able to wield the kingdom key, but any weapon that your real selves, Sora and Roxas of course, could wield." Xehanort replied.
"Well what about your abilities? Will I gain those when I become a replica?" Xion asked.
Xehanort then nodded. "Not all right away, since you will become a half replica first, but yes, you should gain my abilities eventually." Xehanort replied.
"Xehanort, I want your ability to make people remember as soon as possible." Xion finally said. "I know that you don't want to waste a heart, just in case something does happen, but I am sick of walking around seeing people I know but they do not remember me. One of my conditions is that you make me a full replica right away so that I can make everyone remember me as soon as I see them." Xion said.
Xehanort hesitated at this, but he then did nod. "That can be arranged," Xehanort said, "Now is that all?"
"No, I want you to do one more thing for me," Xion said as Xehanort listened. "I want you to apologize for basically calling me useless." Xion said, which only caused Xehanort to snicker.
Xehanort then nodded. "I am truly sorry, Xion." Xehanort said as Xion then nodded. "So will you become my replica now?" Xehanort asked.
Xion then looked at him, ready to say something that would change her life forever. "Yes." She said as Xehanort smiled before waving his hand for her to come closer to him.
Xion then walked forward, that was before Vanitas whispered one last thing to her. "Good luck," he said as she walked forward, holding her hands close to where her heart would be but then she slowly removed them. Xion then stood right in front of Xehanort who now formed something in his hand that looked red and black with a deep glow to it. Xion knew that it had to be Xehanort's heart.
Before Xehanort did anything, he nodded at Xion, who only hesitated but nodded back. She then stood up straight, keeping her eyes open and preparing for the heart to come within her. But without any warning, Xehanort crammed his heart into Xion's chest, which made her freeze, before he took it out of her, the red and black heart gone from his hands.
At that moment, Xion did nothing, but then after a few seconds, she began to breathe heavily and she then began to scream as she fell to the ground. Xion did not know what was happening to her at that moment, and it seemed Vanitas did not know either. He then began to get worried about her as he bent down and placed her body in his hands, looking at her as she continued to scream. "What did you do to her?" Vanitas asked Xehanort, who only stood there in amusement.
"Most likely right now her will is clashing with the will inside my heart, which is very painful to her since my will is darkness and hers is light. You and the other replicas will have a less painful experience since you area all darknesses though." Xehanort then paused. "What is happening to her is an excellent sign though; this means she is becoming a full replica."
Its hard to believe that after this chapter, there are only two more chapters left... I cant believe it.
Now I am sorry, knowing me, I would probably do whatever I could to finish this story today, but I have huge headache and am lucky that I finished this chapter. But dont worry, I dont care what happens, I will finish this story tommorow if it is the last thing I do.
So anyway, please R&R, favorite and all that stuff, and look out for the next chapter!
