Chapter 11: ? : Capture
Fools. I stood overlooking the castle that supposedly held one of the keys to darkness. They may be powerful, but I doubt that they can stand before the tides of pure darkness!
"I can hear you." I turned, my long white hair swaying. I folded my arms. "You aren't going to be able to hide your presence from me with mere illusions. Your leader tried when we battled. It didn't really work."
"Very well…" a figure with a large pink and silver scythe appeared in front of me, wearing a black coat and sporting a pink hairdo. "You will-." He started, surprised. "Lord Xemnas! What are you doing here?"
"Arranging your funeral." I drilled him with a deathly gaze. (cue song "Ansem's Theme")
"No… you aren't Lord Xemnas… Could it be you, Xehanort?"
I laughed diabolically. "Do not even think it for a moment, Nobody!" I began hovering. Behind me, I summoned my heartless guardian.
"What are you, a heartless?" he growled. He readied his scythe for combat.
My red eyes glowed with pleasure. "By fate's hand, the darkness will consume you!" I teleported directly behind him, and sent him flying with a blow from my guardian's huge claws. The pink-haired nobody got up, seemingly furious. He ran at me, swinging his scythe in circles. I merely stretched out my hand, and his attacks bounced off of the invisible shield of darkness that I had summoned. No matter how many times he tried to attack me, it was the same. It was hell getting the timing perfect. I had to extend my hand at just the right moment, or the shield wouldn't nullify his attack.
He twirled his scythe, and summoned a flood of blood-red sakura petals. Flowers? Honestly, what is he thinking? I caught one of the petals as it flew past me, and got a cut for my pains. Hmm... Razor edged sakura petals flying in a near unavoidable frenzy… I like that. However, even that was useless: I merely summoned a large cloud of flying heartless to surround me, which bore the attack for me. Feel honored to die for me, you hearts of darkness! When the cloud cleared, I saw the man crouched, tired.
"No… how did you..?" he was shocked. I readied to blast him into oblivion.
Then I felt a large weight on the back of my head, and I fell…
I awoke in an agony.
Looking around, attempting to block out the pain, I saw that I was being held in midair by beams of electricity. Around my neck was a collar… NO! I screamed in my mind. I recognized the collar. It was one that I had experimented with before I had become a heartless: one that suppressed all power.
This is not over! I fumed. I will find my real body. And I will have my revenge!
As I fumed, I saw a teenager and a girl walk in. The teenager smashed the apparatus that activated the electric beams.
"Hey Ansem!" he called. "I think I need your help. My name's Chris Talonflight."
