This is a bunch of blah blah from Yen Sid. Just explaining everything clearly, hopefully.
Chapter 11
"Ah! I have been waiting for you," Yen Sid greeted them once they stepped through the door.
"Hello," Trisha replied back as Ienzo and Sora bowed down. She looked at them curiously.
"Good day to you, Master Yen Sid," they both greeted the aged magician formally.
"There is no time to waste," he waved his hand and three chairs popped out of the floor. "Please sit."
"Please. Would you tell us what's happening to the worlds?" Trisha clasped her hands together once she took a seat.
Yen Sid closed his eyes briefly, contemplating the situation, before looking at her in the eye.
"As you three have already found out, the world's are no longer filled with peace. There are Heartless (he waved his hand and a miniature Shadow appeared on the table in front of them) and Nobodies (a holographic Dusk appeared on his right) reappearing now. The King has left once more to try to calm the darkness that is spreading much too fast."
"What can we do about it?" she asked. "We could destroy as many as we could, but they keep coming back. It's like a never-ending—"
"There are new enemies to be worried about as well," he silenced the girl. "Organization XIII was not destroyed as we all thought they were (he waved his hand again, and the Dusk and Shadow vanished. Organization XIII replaced them on his right). They have allied with another Organization."
"We know," Ienzo agreed. "The OXR."
"Not so," the magician put his hand up in front of him. "Organization XIII and the OXR are two separate organizations of Nobodies. Originally there was Organization XIII and Organization X. They were separate from each other. Two different worlds that were never supposed to meet."
"And how did the worlds meet?" Sora sat up in his chair.
"By the will of one child." Organization XIII vanished and was replaced by the image of a young boy. He had overgrown dark brown hair, his blue eyes were darker than the sea; his cheeks tinged with dirt, no trace of a smile remained on his face.
"Who…is he?" The trio slid out of their seats as one and approached the silent hologram.
"His name is Ryan. Scientists from Organization X captured him in Memphis (an image of a war torn city appeared behind him). They were looking for ways to get their hearts back. Their ways were cruel and inhumane. They successfully separated him from his heart."
"Doesn't that mean…he was turned into a Heartless?" Ienzo broke the silence after Yen Sid's explanation.
"There was a struggle, but his heart was too pure. A Heartless was never created."
"Then a Nobody—"
"Correct, Sora. Ryan's body—the empty shell—became a Nobody. One strong enough to retain human form. His Nobody joined Organization X, and the worlds were connected."
"How—"
"His heart could not take refuge in another vessel. Instead, it centered itself in the heart of the World itself. This action connected The World that Never Was with Memphis instantaneously."
"That's…absurd," Ienzo sat down slowly. "No way…no way does a heart have that power alone!"
"Ryan was special in his own way. He was powerful. There are Princesses of the Heart here, Ryan was just one who held the key to his own world."
"Yen Sid, sir." Trisha hesitated when he looked at her. "Where did Organization X go?"
"Ah. You're still curious about that," Trisha blushed and looked down at her feet. "Organization X was filled with 13 powerful Nobodies. It originally had 18, but several members were…disposed of."
"And the OXR?"
"Organization X met up with Organization XIII in The World that Never Was. They had no idea who the Organization was. But as we know it, several of the members on both sides started agreeing with the other's ideas. There was a fight, and the two Organizations were split. Organization XIII stayed at The World that Never Was, while the new Organization—the OXR (Organization XIII Rebels as nicknamed by Organization XIII)—fled to Castle Oblivion."
"The OXR wasn't happy with their new quarters. They waited patiently until they were strong enough together and attacked Organization XIII. A fierce battle followed, but it ended with the OXR as the victors. Organization XIII slipped away into the shadows before anyone could stop them. The King witnessed it."
"Seriously?" Sora's eyes went huge.
"The King followed Organization XIII to Castle Oblivion. They are planning there. The OXR changed their plans once the Organization was out of the way. They decided that they needed a new way to regain their Hearts. A way that the Keyblade Masters would be sure to help them. A method that helped both sides equally. I do not know of their plans as of late but—"
"We do." Ienzo raised his head. "They're after Trisha. Yanxwe…Xanchilos…Draxwen…they sent them out already."
"Axel." Sora remembered.
"Interesting," Yen Sid looked at her. "Do you have anything that they might need?"
"I don't think so," Trisha looked startled to be addressed directly. "I've never met any of them before."
"Master Yen Sid. What is our mission now?" Sora asked, breaking the silence this time.
"You assignment is much more dangerous this time," the magician stood up and walked to a set of green double doors. "I see that you already released one of the seals holding the worlds together. Now Twilight Town can only be accessed by a Gummi Ship and other doorways created by magic."
"Seals?" Trisha blinked.
"The Keyblade, Nobody, and Heartless seal combined together releases the connection between the worlds. There is a similar seal on Memphis in The World that Never Was. I assume that if you release it, Ryan's heart will also be released."
"And both the Organizations?" Ienzo stood up again, his voice determined.
"Organization XIII is still led by Xemnas. I'm afraid your battle with him is not over yet, Sora."
Sora sighed and hung his head. "I knew it."
"The Leader of the OXR is dangerous. If she had already sent out her most powerful members, then she is serious about wanting whatever you carry, Trisha. Srixtha is not one to be trifled with. Though she does act young and inexperienced, she is the only one that can control all of the other Nobodies easily."
"Master Yen Sid, do you know the Organization members that joined the OXR?" Sora asked.
"Hm…interesting question," for the first time, the aged magician smiled at them. "The Nobodies allying with the OXR now are Xigbar (he waved his hand and an image of Xigbar unmasked appeared), Xaldin (" "), Axel, Demyx…and Roxas."
"Roxas!" Sora gasped. "But I thought that Roxas…"
"Roxas—though he wanted to be complete—decided to become separate once more to aid the Organization. I cannot say what Srixtha is going to use him for."
"Master Yen Sid, I would like to start this mission as soon as possible!" Ienzo took a step forward. "If too much time passes, then Organization XIII and the OXR are closer to their goal! We cannot let that happen!"
"Patience," Yen Sid raised his hand once more. "There is one more piece of information I would like to share with you three before you get ready for your next adventure."
Sora, Trisha, and Ienzo sighed in unison.
"Ryan does indeed have a Nobody that is working for the OXR," he waved his hand and another hologram appeared. "His Nobody is called Xaryn. I do not have any information on him, except for one thing—"
"I know him!" Ienzo cried out. Sora and Trisha jumped and looked at him. "He attacked me when I re-entered the Radiant Garden after being stuck in the Darkness! I was at the Door to Light!"
"Then you are already aware of his power. He can send anyone into darkness."
"He called it…'Oblivion'," Ienzo muttered. "There was darkness, but then I was stronger than the Darkness itself at that time so…"
"You overpowered the darkness!?" Sora gasped.
"No. I don't think so. I've just…been in it for so long that I can use it without a second thought. I guess I was able to make myself strong enough to block his attack and escape to the Radiant Garden," Ienzo was looking at his hands sadly.
"Then come! Soon you will have all the information you need to understand what happened. But first!"
The green double doors swung open.
"You must get dressed for the adventure. Your clothes will be in need of changing."
Three fairies rushed out of the room, one red, one green, and one blue.
"Oh hey!" Sora grinned.
"Who are they?" Trisha asked.
"They were the three that gave me new clothes when I went out for my last adventure," Sora answered. He looked down. "Though I changed out of them…because…well, it gets too hot on the Islands."
"Then we'll just have to change that," Flora, the eldest fairy, started walking around him, taking measurements with her eyes.
"You'll be a dazzling once more!" Fauna, the green fairy, waved her wand in the air, producing golden sparkles.
"You can't be in these clothes," Merryweather, the blue fairy, started circling around Trisha.
"You all need clothes that won't fray or get old," Fauna started circling around Ienzo.
"I don't think I need new clothes," he said suddenly, breaking her stride. He was quite sure that his clothes were brand-new, having bought some at the Radiant Garden when he arrived. It would save them some time.
"Nonsense!" Merryweather whacked him with her wand. "Everyone needs a new style!"
"Of course! All together now!" the three fairies lined up in front of Sora. "No fighting!"
As one, they sent out a blast of red, green, and blue magic. They connected into a single beam of gold light that hit Sora.
"Wow!" Ienzo heard Trisha squeal. He didn't blame her. The fairies' magic had completely changed Sora's clothes.
He was now wearing all black…well…mostly black. There were bits and pieces of red, yellow, and blue around, his crown chain was still there, though it got modified slightly so it was now on his zipper instead of a necklace. His shoes were still huge, though black became its new color.
A/N: In other words, he looked like the Sora we know and love in Kingdom Hearts II.
"That should suit you up well," Fauna smiled happily with their work.
"Thanks!" Sora agreed looking down at his clothes.
"Now it's your turn. And no fussing," Flora turned towards Ienzo.
"I-I'm serious! I don't need any new—hey!"
The fairies had ignored him once again. A blue beam of magic had hit him, changing his clothes design immediately. Red and green magic was quickly added—much to his chagrin.
"Oh geez," he looked embarrassed when the magic faded away. The fairies had dressed him in baggy black pants, with more than one belt hanging off his waist (though for some reason his pants stayed on, they were obviously decorations). He wore a dark, blue sleeved vest, unzipped and loose; underneath was a plain white shirt, an identical crown chain was hanging around his neck.
"It looks much nicer than your old clothes!" Merryweather proclaimed. Ienzo snorted and glared at her.
"I-I think it looks nice!" Trisha stammered. "You look nice, Ienzo!"
"Oh…uh…thanks," he blushed and turned away.
"Now it's your turn." Flora turned towards her.
"The most difficult one for last!" Merryweather waved her wand in the air.
"You're going to look beautiful," Fauna promised.
"Uh…okay," she looked nervous. "Can I keep my hairclip then? It's important." She raised her hand to tap the intricate designs on the clip.
"Of course, dear," Flora waved her wand and a jet of red light hit her clothes. Fauna and Merryweather's magic lights were added as well.
When the light faded, there was complete silence as everyone viewed her new attire.
Though her hair clip still remained, it was no longer the only eye-catching item when you looked at her.
She now had a dark purple vest that cut off right below her chest, a violet v-neck tank top underneath, and dark blue shorts. Adding to that, she had a baby blue skirt, merely a long piece of cloth tied at her left hip. Her black high-heeled shoes made her taller and more feminine.
"Wow!" Sora cried immediately. Trisha looked down and started to inspect her clothing.
"What are…these?" she lifted her right arm up. Both of her arms had long billowy sleeves, not connected to her clothes at all.
"Something fashionable, dear," Merryweather chuckled.
"We never got to design clothes for a girl yet. It seemed like a nice change," Fauna stepped back towards the door, Merryweather and Flora following close behind.
"Oh!" Flora turned around once she reached the door. "I almost forgot! Your clothes all have special abilities!" On that note, she left the room, the green doors slamming shut behind her.
"What kind of…special abilities?" Ienzo turned towards Sora.
"Well, last time, they gave me a magic charge, so I didn't have to drink a lot of elixirs. They also gave me the Drive Forms. I guess I can't use them now since Donald and Goofy are missing."
"I wonder what they gave me?" Trisha started twirling her arms, letting her violet sleeves whip around, narrowly missing Ienzo and Sora.
"We'll find out on the way," Ienzo promised. "We need to get started on our mission."
"Do you have any questions before you leave?" Yen Sid had been standing next to his chair the entire time, neither of the trio noticing him.
"How do we summon the 'magic portals'?" Sora asked. "You said that it was either the Gummi Ship or the portals, and since our Gummi Ship was destroyed—"
"Yeah!" Chip cried out, poking his head out of Sora's hood.
"What he said!" Dale popped out of Ienzo's pocket.
"Ah, you are wondering about that?" he stepped forward. "You will use your Keyblades together. The Keyblade will know what to do when its job is done in that World. It will then create a portal to take you to the next world."
"That's cool," Trisha summoned a single Keyblade and looked at it. "How many do you think I should use?"
"Use one. Maybe it'll work," Ienzo shrugged.
"Well, then…" Sora and Ienzo immediately stood at attention. Trisha looked at them with a look of amusement.
"We'll see you soon, Master Yen Sid!" both boys saluted him.
"Have a safe journey," the aged magician replied, giving them the 'OK' to leave.
"Why were you guys so polite? It kind of scared me."
"Master Yen Sid is a renown magician. Just to meet him is an honor. I'm surprised that you've never heard of him even though you live in the same world."
"What does that mean?!"
"I want to see if the Portal works," Sora commented, interrupting their conversation. His Keyblade appeared in his right hand.
"Fine," Trisha huffed, and summoned her Keyblade. Ienzo rolled his eyes and followed suit.
"So now what do we do?" Ienzo asked dryly.
"Just knock them together probably." Without waiting for an answer, Trisha moved forward and hit both Ienzo and Sora's Keyblades.
"Hey—" Sora protested, but he was cut short when three beams of light erupted from the Keys.
"See?" Trisha said smugly, "I told you so."
"Another triangle?" Ienzo asked, watching the beams of light connect and create the triangle.
The triangle rose up slowly into the sky, getting bigger and bigger as it rose. Finally, it beamed down light at the trio. Another triangle appeared below their feet and a second later, the trio vanished.
I need a name for the Three Keyblade Masters. Their group can't be called 'the Three Keyblade Masters' it needs something cooler. Would someone like to help?
