KINGDOM HEARTS III:

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: TRINXTY'S CHOICE

(I only own Kenji)

Organization XIII HQ…

"I guess you owe me one for saving you." said Saexma to Trinxty. Trinxty stood straight as Saexma spoke to her. Trinxty was now wearing an organization coat and not her original clothing. "Are you willing to join the organization?"

"Yes, I am…" she said.

"Good, perhaps you will be able to help greatly in destroying Ishikawa and his brother." said Saexma. "That is, unless you still have feelings for him."

"I…don't…" responded Trinxty. "I'm here to fight."

"Good…" said Saexma. She turned and left Trinxty in the room and headed down the halls of the castle. "A Time Stopper…I've never come across a Nobody that can do that…"

"Saexma."

She spun around to see Xeno behind her. "Xeno, what is?"

"Can we trust this girl?" asked Xeno. "I mean, she was with the Key bearer after all."

"She brought us his Keyblade along with her." she said. "I think that's good enough for us to trust her."

"But still, can she even fight?" asked Xeno.

"I will test that." said Saexma. "I'll be taking her to a practice area."

"I see, but you should be careful." said Xeno. "The last fight with Ishikawa almost killed you."

"Xeno…" she said faintly smiling. "You worry about me too much."

"You're our leader, if any of us must survive, it's you." he said holding Saexma's hand.

Saexma looked at her hand in his and looked to his face. "Xeno…"

"Looks like love's in the air."

Both of them turned to see Xero coming down the halls. "Xero?" said Xeno.

"Trying to get the leader's heart, aren't we Xero?" asked Xero. Xeno let go on Saexma's hand and she back away from him. "Too bad she's already lost it."

"…leave, Xero…" said Saexma.

"Aren't we pissed?" he said laughing as he walked passed them.

Once Xero was out of sight, Xeno turned to Saexma. "I don't like him one bit, him and that Xeta."

"I know." said Saexma.

"Then why keep him around?" asked Xeno. "What if he's a traitor waiting for the right time to betray us?"

"Then I'll deal with him." said Saexma. She headed down the halls with Xeno the direction Xero went.

Trinxty sat on a chair in the room she was in. "It's so…cold…"

"Get use to it."

Trinxty jumped out of her seat and saw someone in the shadow leaning against the wall. "Who…who's there?"

"You made a big mistake by joining the organization…" he said. His voice sounded it was being blocked by something.

"No, I joined because that's what my heart tells me." she said.

"Your heart?" he said. "Heh, girl…you don't even have a heart."

"I do have a heart!" she protested.

"You just think you do." He said. "You were better off with that boy…"

"No, I'll fight for the organization!" she said.

"You? Fight?" he said. He walked out of the shadows; he had a cloak that went to his feet and a hood over his head. On his face, he had a mask with nothing on it; it was blank, no eye holes or anything. But if you look closer, instead of any holes, it had a wolf's face carved into it. "If you could fight, let alone, control your powers, then you'll have no problems…" he raised his right hand and 1 and a half foot beams in the shape of claws came out of the back of his gauntlet where there where holes made into them. "…defeating me…"

She put herself in a fighter stance and summoned Kenji's Keyblade. "I will…"

"I knew that you would do that…the next thing you're going to do is attack me with a horizontal slash from your right side." he said.

"Wh…what?!" she said in surprise.

"Surprised?" he asked. "I know every move you'll make at me; it's all in your head."

Trinxty grit her teeth and charged at him with the same attack he predicted; only it was from her left. He dodged it with ease. Then she slashed down at him with a vertical slash. He also dodged it without difficulties, or was the mask just hiding his struggle with her. He dodged every one of her shots until she was too tired to keep swinging. "Ah…I…can't…how…?"

He slowly walked up to her and pointed his beam claws at her face she stood still. "All too easy." Trinxty looked down in defeat. "You're still the helpless girl that latched onto Ishikawa." She didn't look at him. "What's wrong, you going to cry?"

"N-no!" he yelled.

The beam claws came closer. She backed her face away. "The organization will fall; with or without you…you have no chance at changing the inevitable, even with your power."

"Trinxty."

Trinxty quickly turned to see Saexma standing in the door way and looking at her. Trinxty turned to see the man that attacked her, but there was nothing there. "Umm, Saexma, I mean sir, I mean…"

"What are you doing?" she asked crossing her arms. "Don't tell me you were dancing."

"I…ah…was I imagining it…?"

"Never mind. Come, you and I are heading out." said Saexma. Then she handed her the sword she had in her hand. "Here, this will be your weapon."

Trinxty took it in her hands. "A sword?"

"Yen Cid's Hattori Hanzo sword. He won't need it anymore now that he's dead. I stole it from Sora." said Saexma. "Let's go."

Trinxty looked around. She turned to the shadow and looked at the ground, foot steps, in the dust. She widened her eyes as the foot steps slowly vanishes as if they where never there at all. She shook her head and followed Saexma through a portal.

Leon's gummi ship…

"Don't worry Kenji, we'll find her." said Roxas. "As long as you can sense your own Keyblade, we can find her location."

"I hope so…" he said looking down.

"Hey man, it's not that bad." said Matt.

"What did I do to make her do that?" said Kenji.

"It wasn't your fault." said Roxas. "Hakaider tricked her into doing it."

"Her memories must be that important to her." said Kenji looking up. "We need to get her back."

"We will." said Roxas. "Where to, where's the Keyblade leading you?"

Kenji pointed to a world in front of them. "There, Tokyo."

"Tokyo?" asked Roxas. "Isn't that where Jiro and his brothers are?"

"And Suika." said Kenji. "We need to find her as well." Roxas landed the ship where they landed before. Kenji and the others ran out of the woods and looked around. "Hey Matt, can you fight?"

"It's just a scratch." he said referring to his shoulder. "Let's keep going."

They headed into the city and looked around. "Look!" said Roxas. He saw Ichiro and Jiro. Suika was there too, she was shooting her arrows. They where fighting the Nobodies and apparently winning. Rei showed up and started doing major damage. "They might need help." Roxas summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion and gave Oathkeeper to Kenji.

"Let's go!" said Kenji. They ran to the scene and started slashing away at them. After a while, the Nobodies where destroyed.

"Kenji, Roxas, you're back." said Jiro.

"Good to see you guys still alive." said Roxas. "And this is Matt, our new friend." He said pointing to Matt.

"Nice too meet you." said Suika.

"What'd ya' expect?" said Ichiro. "These are the guys from that blue haired bitch, right?"

"You mean Saexma?" asked Kenji. "She's definitely here."

"How do you know?" asked Rei.

"Trust me." Then he felt the Keyblade, it was very close. "She's here."

"Who?" asked Suika.

"Trinxty." he said. "But I think you remember her as Trinity."

"Trinity?! How?! She's dead!" said Suika.

"She's alive." He looked around and something caught his eye that was on top of a tall building about seven stories high. "There!"

Saexma and Trinxty walked out. Trinxty had the sword on her back and the Keyblade in her right hand. "Looks like those Nobodies are out of date; they lost to a few humans."

"That's her!" said Roxas.

Suika looked up at the two girls standing at the top of the building and stared right at Trinxty. "T-Trinity?"

"Who are you calling human?!" said Ichiro gripping his fist at her.

"So, you're saying you're not human, you fool?" asked Saexma raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and I'll prove it by kicking your ass!" said Ichiro putting his hands overt his face. "Change! Zero-One!" He jumped into the air and his whole body began to glow. When the glow faded. His human appearance was replaced with a red and blue robot with transparent arms, head and chest.

Rei also jumped into the air after crossing his arms over his belt. "Change! Double O!" he also transformed into a red and blue robot and followed Ichiro.

"Hey guys, wait!" said Jiro. He jumped into the air too. Then he put his hands into fists and slammed them onto his shoulders to transform into a robot just like Rei and Ichiro. Then they all headed for Saexma.

"What the?! All three of them?!" said Roxas.

"They're robots!" said Suika.

"Just like Hakaider…" said Matt.

"You got to be kidding me." said Kenji.

All of them jumped on top of the building and surrounded Saexma and Trinxty. "What the?!" said Saexma.

"Time to send you back to where you came from!" said Ichiro, or 01. He ran up to Saexma and tried to punch her in the face. Saexma jumped away and started levitating over them.

"Sloppy fighting." She said. She turned around and saw Rei/00 jump up behind her. He came in too fast for her to react and he struck her with a back spin kick. Saexma fell back onto the roof.

"Sa-Saexma…!" said Trinxty. 01 came after her. She drew the sword and held it in front of her. "Stay away, or I'll kill you!"

"Fine by me!" he said. 01 pointed his right hand at her. His hand separated from his wrist by a hinge under his wrist. Then a gun barrel extended out from the inside. "Take this!" He fired several bullets at her.

"Nooo!" Trinxty put her arms up in front of her and every bullet that could have hit her stopped and fell to the ground in front of her.

"What in the world?!" he said.

Trinxty looked at the ground and back at 01. She took this chance and ran at him with the sword. She swung down at him. 01 brought his arms up and the sword hit his arms. It didn't cut through because the sword slid down his arm as he moved the blade away. 01 grabbed her and put his gun to her face. "I got you now!"

Saexma got up and shook her head. "Dammit…" She saw Rei standing right behind her. He ran after her. Saexma threw several crystals at him. Rei extended a blade on the sides of each of his arms and sliced through the crystals. "Shit!" Saexma jumped up into the air and hovered over everyone again. "What in the world is going on?!"

"Kenji, we need to get up there!" said Roxas. "They might kill Trinxty!"

"You're right." Kenji turned to Suika. "Suika, come with us." Kenji grabbed her hand and ran to the building. He came to the door and kicked it open. "We'll have to take the stairs!"

Rei jumped up to Saexma's elevation again and attempted another back spin kick. Saexma pulled up a shield and deflected the attack which sent Rei into another building when his foot bounced off it. Saexma looked to Trinxty, who was fighting Ichiro. "Dammit, this has gone all wrong!"

Jiro watched the battle. "Can we really attack people that we don't know if they're our enemies?" He ran over to Ichiro. "Ichiro, don't kill her!"

"What!? Why not?!" He said holding Trinxty. When he was distracted, she broke her right arm free and sliced into his left had to free her own. Ichiro looked at his arm. "Damn, what's that sword made of?"

Trinxty jumped back and held the sword out in front of her. "Don't come any closer, or I'll take your head!"

"I think she means it." said Jiro.

"Trinxty!"

Trinxty spun around and saw Kenji. "Kenji?" She also saw Roxas, Matt and Suika with him. "…S…Suika…?"

Suika took a good look at Trinxty. "Oh my god…you are Trinity…"

"Trinxty, put the sword down." He said walking up to her. Trinxty looked to him and looked at Ichiro and Jiro. Then back to him. She looked scared about what might happen if she chooses the wrong choice. "Trinxty, it's okay to stop now; put the sword down.

"Stop right there, Ishikawa" Kenji turned to his left and saw Saexma walk up to him with her crystal sword pointing at him. "Trinxty is a member of Organization XIII, her job is to fight you."

Kenji's eye widened and he looked at Trinxty. Then he turned back to Saexma. Kenji then turned back to Trinxty. "Trinxty, please give me back my Keyblade…"

Trinxty stared at Kenji and Saexma. Saexma glared at her. Trinxty couldn't make up her mind. She likes Kenji, but she told Saexma she'd fight for the organization. Plus she still had those words Ryu told her about Kenji. But her feelings made her come to a decision. She nodded and warped the Keyblade to her hand. "Don't you dare, Trinxty!" said Saexma.

Trinxty backed away. Roxas gripped his hands and watched Jiro and Ichiro stay in their positions. Matt gripped the handle of his sword in case he needed to fight. Suika watched breathing very hard while thinking as to what her decision would be at this point. She also looked at the people around her. "Hey, where's Rei?"

Suddenly, something made Saexma spin around to look behind her. She saw Rei jump up over her and a large amount of electricity started flowing through his forearms. Then he launched it like a beam at her. Saexma jumped out of the way, but she, and almost everyone else was caught in the explosion when it collided with the roof. "Shit!!"

Roxas grabbed Suika and brought her to the ground to prevent her from getting thrown off the building. Matt put his sword in the ground to hold himself in place. Jiro and Ichiro stood in place with their arms shielding themselves. Kenji was thrown to the ground and he kept his head down. Saexma was blown to the side and she also took cover. When the force of the explosion weakened and the dust cleared, everyone got to their feet. Kenji got up weakly. He was basically right next to the explosion. "T-Trinxty?"

"Where is she?" said Roxas looking around. "Oh god, don't tell me she was blown off the building!"

Saexma got up and stood on her feet. "Damn, I can't win, for some reason…" She looked around at the numbers she was up against, then she noticed that Trinxty was missing. "Why is fate turned against me…?"

"Trinxty!" call Kenji looking on the side of the building she should have been thrown off. There was nothing there.

"Rei! We're down here, y'know!!!" yelled Ichiro. "Now where's my arm!?"

Kenji turned to everyone else and ran over to Saexma. He grabbed the collar of her coat and held her up to his face. "How can you do this!?!? She was not meant to be a fighter!!"

"If it wasn't for me, she would be dead right now." said Saexma.

Kenji slapped her on the face hard. "You think you can control people like you do with those Nobodies?!"

"Give me a break." she said pulling her self away. "She is a Nobody." She rubbed her cheek. "It's not my problem; she owed me for saving her life." She opened a portal to her HQ and walked towards it.

"You're not going anywhere!" said Kenji warping his Keyblade to his hand and pointing it at Saexma. "You think you can just manipulate people like that? You're wrong…" Saexma just glared at him and walked through. Kenji dropped to his knees in defeat.

Jiro walked up to him. "You're right, Kenji; no one has the right to control others to do whatever they want them to do, even when they don't have a heart."

Kenji stood up. "Have you…been in this situation before…?"

"I have, that's why I can understand how you feel." He said.

Ichiro groaned at the small speech.

Kenji stood up and looked to Jiro. "And how did you deal with it?"

"I stopped the one responsible for it from doing that ever again." he said.

Kenji nodded and turned to Roxas and Matt. "We're leaving. I think this has gone on too long."

Roxas helped Suika to her feet and Matt joined up with them. "Okay." said Roxas.

"Trinxty may still be alive." said Matt. "We might have to stop Hakaider too."

"I know." said Kenji. He turned to Suika. "We'll find her again, I promise." Suika smiled and nodded. Then he turned to Jiro's brothers. "Control yourselves more." He looked to the sky. "So many worlds...guess we might need to see em' all…"
