Heres the next chapter. This chapter will take place for a few weeks after the last one so I just thought I'd let you know that. This chapter is very important because it's going to start setting up many things to come later on. So with that said, I hope all of you enjoy this one, please review to let me know what you think. Thank you for reading so far, and I hope you all enjoy this one. With that said, lets get started.
Chapter 10 The Organization Makes Their Move
It had been about two weeks since Sora and the others talked with Leon. So far, Sora and Riku were still unable to find out any more information on why they were able to use the Keyblade.
As for Roxas, he had sent Ventus a message asking about when he could visit. The message said.
Dear Ventus
How have you been? So far high school is going well, although things are going a little weird. Anyway Sorry to ask this suddenly but when can you visit. I was hoping maybe you'd be able to explain some things to us because weird things are happening and it's getting Xion and myself really worried. I hope we can see you soon.
Roxas
Roxas sent the message out about a week ago but so far there was no reply.
It was currently lunch period and Roxas had just gotten his food and sat down at Namine's table. He had done this a few times already because he figured he wanted to talk with her about what's been going on. Again he left out parts about the Keyblade.
"Why do you keep sitting here?" Namine asked. She sat there and continued to draw on some paper.
"If you want me to leave then just say so, Sorry if you don't enjoy my company." Roxas said
"It's not like that. And I'm fine with you sitting here but what I don't get is why?" Namine said
"I guess I just feel like it. I like sitting with my different friends."
"What do you tell you're other friends and your brother and sister? Don't forget, I don't want them getting involved."
"They wouldn't have to get involved if you would just tell me about everything that happened. You just keep being so quiet. Besides, I tell Sora that I sit here but you never talk to me. So he believes I'm just wasting my time." Roxas said
"Oh well thanks for keeping it a secret. So have those guys bothered you at all?" Namine asked growing worried.
"Yea almost every day in fact, those guys just don't seem to take no for an answer. Axel has tried talking to me too." Roxas said
He then thought back to some of the times over the past two weeks that he had those guys from the organization start to bother him. He had Zexion and Demyx bothering constantly. He would say no but those idiots kept coming back.
He also had Axel keep coming and asking him about joining. Whenever he asked Axel to tell him about what happened with Namine, Axel would either ignore him or change the subject. It drove Roxas nuts and Roxas has been trying to avoid Axel for the most part.
He also had that Saix guy bothering him too. But truth be told, Saix looked as though he really didn't care and was only asking because he was being forced to ask.
"I'm sorry that those guys have been bothering you. I wish I could help somehow." Namine said sadly. She also distracted Roxas from his chain of thought.
"I've dealt with it up till now. I doubt they'll get any worse."
"I hope not." Namine said
"Still, I wonder what it is they want with me."
"No idea."
I know they believe I can use a Keyblade but my question is why do they need it and more about what they intend to do with it once they have it. If only I knew why Mickey refused to shut their club down, more importantly, when I saw the principal the first time, he was acting like he knew Axel and that Axel was a good student. I'm so confused. Roxas Thought as he slammed my head on the lunch table.
"Is something wrong?" Namine asked sounding worried.
"It's nothing; I'm just a little tired." Roxas lied. Roxas then saw Namine drawing some more. "By the way, what do you usually draw?" He asked
"Different things, it all depends on what mood I'm in. Right now I drew a picture of you, Xion, and Sora." Namine admitted sounding embarrassed.
Roxas leaned over and looked at it. "Wow that's pretty good. I'm shocked at how good you are at drawing." Roxas admitted.
"Thanks" Namine said looking away.
"But why did you draw the three of us?"
"I don't know, I guess it may be because you three always look so happy when you three are together. I don't know why, but it just makes me feel a little happy when I see you three."
"Yea well after everything that's happened I don't feel that happy." Roxas admitted
"Well hopefully things will get better." Namine said
"Yea, but things are getting a little complicated. Still, I'm sure things will get better, things are getting so strange though."
"What do you mean?" Namine asked confused.
Roxas then smiled at this. "Sorry, I promised I couldn't tell anyone about it. Don't worry though, it's a lot to think about and can give someone a headache." Roxas said laughing a bit
"Come on tell me." Namine insisted.
"Nope, you have your secrets to keep and I have mine." Roxas said
"Jerk" Namine said quietly to herself.
I couldn't tell her about the Keyblades even if I wanted to. Besides, she keeps some stuff from me. All though I'm glad to see that she's been acting happier than before. Roxas thought.
"So why do you still stay away from Sora and everyone else?" I asked
"I just want them to stop worrying about me. They could get in trouble if they keep trying." Namine said
"Yet you always seem just fine with me being here." Roxas said confused
"It's not that I don't care or anything. It's just that you seem impossible to convince to leave me alone. I tried telling you to leave before but you just keep coming back. I'm not mad at that or anything. I enjoy your company but I do wish you would stop worrying about me."
"I would if you could just tell me what happened." Roxas said.
"… Fine" Namine said quietly.
Roxas almost fell off his chair he was so shocked." Seriously you'll tell?" Roxas asked getting excited.
"You seem to keep insisting on it so I'll tell you the full story of what really happened. Not right now though but not until later today after school. But only you." Namine said
"Yea sure, deal, But why do you only want to tell me?" Roxas asked confused.
"I don't know. But you seem like you keep on wanting me to tell you everything and I think I can trust you to leave it a secret. I'll tell you after school so be sure to meet me here." Namine said with a small grin.
"Okay then, I'll meet you here latter today." Roxas said
"Yea sounds good." Namine said.
The bell then rung and Roxas and Namine got up to go to each of their separate classes.
"SO what were you doing with Namine, get her to say anything." Sora asked as he walked up to his brother with Riku next to him.
"I tried but she just stayed silent and ignored me." Roxas lied
Riku stared at Roxas suspiciously for a minute. Almost as though he suspected him of lying
"I think you're hiding something from us. Not that I can complain really since I have my fair share of secrets." Riku said
"I'm telling you guys the truth." Roxas said
"And I'm three headed dog from the pits of the underworld. Look I'm just saying if you think you can try to solve this alone then you're crazy. So stop trying to handle things alone" Riku said with a small grin.
"Look at the big Key blade wielder telling me what to do. I didn't know you two were above me now. I mean with the way you two are ordering me around, I think you two think that you're above me." Roxas joked
"That's the truth. We're these big Key blade wielders and you're just a little kid so stop trying to handle things yourself and leave it to the grown up." Sora teased back.
All three of them laughed at this for a minute.
"You two are such dorks you know that right." Riku said
"Yea whatever you say buddy. You're just as much as one." Sora said
"Okay guys, look I got to get to my next class." Roxas said as he started to walk away.
"Wait a minute, when you get a chance be sure to check your emails to see if Ventus wrote us back." Sora said
"Oh right, come see us after school to let us know if he wrote you back because we still need to ask him questions." Riku said
"After school… No I can't today." Roxas said
"Why not? Do you have a date with a cute girl or something like that?" Sora teased.
"No not that. There's just something I have to do today and it's important." Roxas said
"Okay, we understand. Good luck and I hope you get answers." Riku said with a semi evil grin.
Are you kidding me, how does this kid know everything. He's a friken genius I swear. I never even said anything yet he knows who I'm talking t. Geese this guy's such a pain but at least he can keep things a secret. Roxas thought to himself.
"Wait, what answers are you two talking about. What on earth are you two hiding?" Sora asked confused
"Nothing, Roxas hasn't told me a thing but I'm just suspicious of a few things that's all." Riku said
"Cut it out you two." Roxas complained.
"SO what are you actually going on a date or something? Well if you are then good for you." Sora said
"Look I swear that whatever's happening, it's not a date. I just need to talk to a friend of mine about something important okay." Roxas said sounding a little embarrassed
"Okay bro. I should've have known anyway, you suck with girls." Sora teased
"How are things with Kairi coming along? Last I checked you two are still friends because you're too afraid to say anything." Roxas shot straight back without a moment of hesitation.
Riku then started laughing hysterically. "Oh god, he got you good there Sora." Riku said
"Shut up both of you. Don't forget I walked her home and she ended up grabbing onto me." Sora bragged
"And all that happened thanks to me, Xion, and Riku." Roxas said
"Got to hell." Sora said annoyed
"Been there done that. Anyway, I'll see you guys later." Roxas said
"Wait, just to make sure, the friend you're seeing isn't that organization right because I know they wanted you to join.' Sora asked suddenly getting suspicious.
"Sora, I would take a bullet to the head before joining a group of monsters like them.' Roxas said
"Good, just remember your better than they are. So don't you dare sink down to their level?" Sora said
"Don't worry, I have no intention to." Roxas said as he walked to his next class.
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Sora asked getting worried.
"Oh he's lying all right, but I don't think it's about anything bad. From what I suspect, I think our little friend Roxas is closer to Namine then we think." Riku said as he and Sora started walking to their next class which happened to be gym.
"Do you really think so? I hope your right Riku. But are you sure about this"
"I'm almost positive, besides why else would he sometimes sit at her table. If she really didn't say anything then it would be strange don't you think? I think that Roxas is about to learn something helpful. But still-"
"But still what?" Sora asked
"No idea, but I have a bad feeling. Call it a hunch but something just doesn't feel right." Riku said getting worried
"I don't like the sound of that." Sora said
"Look I trust Roxas and everything as well as Namine. The people I don't trust are those idiot members of the organization. They want Roxas to join them and have a feeling that they may have something planned. I have no idea why, it's as if ever since I got this Keyblade, I've been able to feel when something is uneasy."
"Yea same, I know we've been telling Roxas and Xion that we've had no use for them so far but that was a lie. Ever since I've gotten this thing, I've been seeing these weird creatures of darkness."
"They're called Heartless. I've seen them and fought some too. Of course I don't tell anyone about them." Riku said
"Of course not, that would make Roxas and Xion worry about me." Sora said
"Either way, it really doesn't matter but I have no intention of letting those jerks have their way. I don't know how or why, but I have a feeling in my gut that those guys are only part of the people behind this. What's more is the information we learned on that Xehanort guy. We need to find more Key blade wielders or at least people that can fight." Riku said
"There's always Ventus and the guy you saw right. I think his name was Terra. But I'm still not positive on if Ventus even is a Keyblade wielder like us. What's more, I hope we can count on Roxas and Xion eventually. Of course they may never even awaken a Keyblade. Oh but as for people that can fight, That Leon guy and that Yuffie girl looked like they could fight." Sora suggested.
"And there's that Cloud guy too. But he seems to be not coming to school. Maybe one of us should try to talk with him." Riku suggested.
"Good plan. Well let's try it out latter then. But as for after school today what should we do."
"I think we should both try to follow him and make sure everything is okay." Riku said as Sora nodded back and the two then went to class.
Roxas was sitting on the computer in the library of the school. His 9th period teacher was out sick that day so Roxas got a free and he decided to use it to check and see if Ventus wrote back. He went through the useless emails of stuff he didn't care about until he got to one that was from Ventus.
"All right, now to just read it" Roxas said as he opened up and started to read the email.
Dear Roxas
I got your last email and inside of it you said weird things were going on. I don't know exactly what you mean but you can tell me in person this weekend because I'm visiting and I'm bringing my two best friends Aqua and Terra with me. Take care until then and be careful.
Ventus
"So he's coming this weekend huh. This is great news! Plus his two friends are coming. Terra, wasn't that the name of the guy who Riku met when he was just a little kid. That's crazy but this will help us. I can't wait to tell Sora and Riku." Roxas said as he looked at the clock. There was still about 30 minutes until school ended and he had to see Namine.
"Oh well, guess I better just wait." Roxas said as he sat down. He then yawned. "Maybe I should take a quick nap. After all I got no sleep last night." Roxas said as he moved to a table and rested his head. For some reason, he felt really tired right now so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Roxas. Two voices said together.
Roxas suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was in a strange place. After looking around, he realized that the place looked like the place Sora and Riku described as the place where they got their Keyblades.
"Is this place-"
Yes Roxas, it is time for you to wield the Keyblade. Another voice said
"What?" Roxas asked.
You must wield the Keyblade just as your brother and your friend has.
"Sora told me about this, already, he said that we are going to get tested in some way. So what exactly is my test?" Riku asked
True but there is no need for you to take any such thing. I believe your actions up till now have already proven that we can trust you. Now when we came here, I believe you should've heard a voice call out your name.
"Do you mean those two voices I heard before I opened my eyes?" Roxas guessed
Two? Not only one. This is very strange indeed but none the less still a possibility. I suppose those two were the ones that choose you. And in that case, we are lucky, we needed those two to choose someone sooner or later and I was growing worried.
"Who are you talking about?" Roxas asked concerned.
Us. Two new voices said. One sounded as a boy's and one sounded as a girl.
"Who are those people?" Roxas asked.
They are your allies I suppose you should say. They are your Keyblades. The older and deeper voice said
"Keyblades. I thought we only get one and I never knew these things could talk." Roxas said shocked.
It is true that most people only use one Keyblade but you are different as it seems. These two are two dual wield Keyblades. Very rare and uncommon indeed. As for them talking, well most do not but every Keyblade is special in its own way. The voice said
"So now I have to wield them. Fine then, how do I do this." Roxas asked.
Quite simple really, all you need to do is learn their names. After you do, they will belong to you and then I can tell you the next important thing you need to know. I have an important message so I need you to tell everyone else so I need you to hurry up and join your Keyblades. The deeper voice said confidently.
Roxas stood there for a minute. "Okay then, let's get this started. What are you names?" Roxas asked
He two lights started to glow and take the shape of two Keyblades. However the light was too bright for Roxas to see and specific details. Nice to meet you Roxas. I hope we'll get along well. Now for our names, we are known as-
"Young man wake up." A voice said as Roxas opened his eyes.
Shit, what the hell happened? I woke up now and right when I was about to learn those Keyblades names. Roxas thought. He then held out his hand and tried to make them appear but nothing came. Damn it, figures I would wake up right when I needed to hear everything. Now I can't hear those stupid things. Roxas thought getting furious.
"Young man, I'm terribly sorry but the day is about to end and you looked as though you were having an uneasy dream." The voice said
Roxas looked up and saw and old man standing nears him. He wore a long black jacket and he looked quite old. He was also bald and had bright yellow eyes. Roxas had never seen this man before so if he was a teacher Roxas never knew him.
"I'm sorry about waking you up young man but we wouldn't want you to be late I'm sure you have lots of things to do when you now that school is almost over. You better get moving." The old man said with a small smile. Roxas couldn't tell why, but the man let out a dark and evil feel to it and Roxas wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
"Right, I'll just be going." Roxas said slightly disturbed. He then got up and started to walk away to meet Namine after school. He still felt slightly annoyed that he was woken up before he could learn the names of those two Keyblades.
The old man stood there for a minute and after Roxas was gone, he smiled a bit in a cold and evil way. "If I hadn't woken the boy up, he may have gotten a Keyblade. That would've been a problem don't you think Xemnas and Saix." The man said calmly as Saix and Xemnas walked out from behind a bookshelf.
"I told you we would be able to use him. Of course he seems to have no intention of joining us master Xehanort." Xemnas said
Xehanort looked unsurprised. "It does not matter either way. Still I must admit, he shares a striking resemblance to his cousin Ventus. And if he's anything like him, he will care about his friends just as much as Ventus did."
"Where do you think he's going?" Saix asked.
"No idea but if I were you, I'd follow him." Xemnas said
"Indeed, it seems as though he's going to meet with that girl Namine. Saix go after them and make sure he and her are alone. I believe she intends to tell Roxas everything. She seems to be trust him."
"Should I allow her to tell Roxas everything?" Saix asked looking up.
"Do as you please Saix but the one order I must give is this, the girl is becoming a nuisance. I do not believe a person like Roxas will ever help us and Xemnas you were a fool for ever believing he'd join us. However if we break him, that's a much greater prize." Xehanort said
"Break him, how?" Saix asked
"The same way we broke the last person who stood against us or do I need to remind you of what we did with Cloud."
"So you want me to kill the girl." Saix said
"Yes, that Namine girl needs to die. You understand don't you? As for how you do it I really don't care but make sure you do it." Xehanort said coldly
"And what becomes of me afterwards."
"Does it matter, you will be fine. Unlike with Sephiroth, I consider you someone valuable so I will make sure nothing happens to you. After the girl is finished, come back here and I will make sure nothing will come to you."
"You actually believe the police won't do anything." Saix said
"Police are so useless. The only reason they caught Sephiroth is because he allowed them too. He could break out anytime he wanted to. Believe me the only people who even stand a chance of stopping us are Mickey and Yen Sid and Yen Sid has gone off to god knows were. And Mickey is too afraid to stop us. Or did you forget why he never shut down our club even though he knew that we killed Tiffa." Xemnas said calmly.
"Very well then, the girl will die. I will break the boy's spirit." Saix said calmly
"And Saix, use the Weapon we gave you. They may not be quite as powerful as Keyblades but they should still work nicely." Xehanort said as Saix nodded and walked out to go and follow Roxas.
"Do you believe Saix can actually do it? Killing someone is no small task." Xemnas said sounding worried
"This is his test Xemnas. He must pass it. I was a fool many years ago. I once tried to start a battle with the school but little did I know, Mickey created his own small army of Keyblade wielders. They were able to stop me but I knew that I would have my revenge. The only Keyblade wielder strong enough to beat me is Yen Sid and he's no were to be found. I must admit this will make things a little boring but it really is no big deal. Now Xemnas, I have a small task for you."
"And what is it."
"I'm sure you've noticed already but we have some people trying to betray the organization. Larxene and Marluxia are both involved in this and they're trying to get Axel involved too. You know what has to be done."
"Very well." Xemnas said as he walked away
Xehanort stood there with an evil smile on his face. "Soon, oh so soon I will have my plan succeeded."
