Chapter 10

About the heartless

So the team headed back to question Ansem about the disks, Xemnas however wanted to stay outside but he did have a few questions so regardless they all went back inside the castle.

It was a miracle beyond miracles that Leon and and his friends got the castle rebuilt in such a short time, even Xemnas wondered how they did it as he walked down the long hall. He assumed that they had outside help probably from Torch2 and the Crossroads.

Once they were back in Ansem's office Xemnas lied the disks on his desk.

Ansem leaned back staring Xemnas in the eyes, "So why did you come back?"

"The disks, are they different then what Dark used?"

Ansem gave Xemnas an odd look, "Yes, they are."

Xemnas was getting irradiated, "Look!" he growled slamming his hands on the desk, "I know you and I don't get along anymore but I need your advice, not that look and a three word sentence. I want to know everything you know as soon as I show you something."

"You do know I can have you thrown out of here in a heartbeat." Ansem stated, "Anyway you need something called a disk launcher a type of gun mounted on your ship to use them."

Xemnas eased up and backed off, "See was that so hard?"

Ansem just shook his head, "Xehanort what ever happened to you."

Xemnas frowned, "Xehanort is dead, I'm Xemnas now. Why can't you accept that?"

Riku could see another fight starting between them from a mile away so he got up to Ansem's desk to ask a question of his own, "Ansem, this maybe a odd question but ever since we started this journey we've seen zero heartless, why are there no heartless anymore? Did we kill them all off?"

"Is Emnex doing his job again?" Sora cut in.

Ansem searched the air, "I didn't work much with heartless the one with the knowledge of that is Xehanort."

Xemnas was looking away seemingly worried at that point, "I have no answer... Axel with me now." at that the two hurried outside.

"Boss what's this about?" Axel questioned.

"Remember that lab I went to a few days ago, well I opened the door thinking the unbirths had gone away. What I found was that they were simply closed up in that building, me and Sephiroth tried to hold them back but we failed." Xemnas started pacing as he continued, "We found harshly that the unbirths grew in power and now they are spawning from the building, also when the unbirths appear the heartless disappear, but unbirths are far more dangerous then heartless. And to make matters worse we have to find a way to stop them at the source."

"But what is an unbirth?"

"Before I was created... Master Xehanort my creator failed many times, and from each failure a slew of unbirths were created. In a since they are the essence of the experiments not able to be born, thus unbirth."

Axel nodded, "I think I get it, but if he's gone why are the unbirths still spawning."

Xemnas shrugged, even he wasn't sure about that one, "If you believe it, I'm not sure myself, but I need to handle it."

"No! Boss we need you here, who will fly the Raven, besides this not just your battle anymore. We are a team you're not ditching us again!" Axel was pulling rank again but what else was new.

Xemnas was going to gut Axel for that but he realized Axel was right, "Then what do we do?"

Axel was surprised, Xemnas agreed with him or anyone for once, "I'm not sure but we'll think of something. But what are the unbirths after?"

Xemnas had a grim look, "Anything that lives and breathes. But mainly they are out to find a soul, being that all those experiments lacked one besides... well... me. I was the first and only success story."

Axel made a face at Xemnas and his dark past, he was starting to get the whole picture of the nobody who only remembered anger, hate, and jealousy, and he wasn't liking it."

at that moment the rest paraded out with a new... thing, which happened to be the disk launcher. Xemnas decided to hide the info from the rest till another time... he only hoped that the other time wasn't to late.

Riku was exited, "Guys we get to visit more game worlds now!"

Xemnas just grinned at him and nodded.

Soon after mounting the gun they took off and loaded the first disk in it and fired. A portal appeared and they entered.
