Theme 50 – Symbol
"We should find out where we are," Isa stated, looking past Lea. Lea nodded once. Together, the two wandered until they reached the edge of the woods. From here, they could see a small lawn, and then a huge wrought iron gate surrounded by a brick wall, and beyond that a tall mansion. Lea took one step forward when two figures appeared in front of the gate. One came through a black, seething orb. The other, appeared in a flash of light, like Isa had.
It was that kid, Ienzo, only much older. The other figure was cloaked completely in black leather, and his hood was over his face. Ienzo awoke, and the cloaked figure helped him to his feet.
"Do you feel stronger?" the cloaked figure asked in a voice neither boy – now hiding behind trees – recognized from their previous encounter. Ienzo nodded, but his face displayed no pleasure in this fact. Perhaps, like Isa and Lea, he couldn't feel satisfaction anymore.
"You will be called Zexion. Welcome to the Organization," the cloaked man said, handing the boy a cloak like his own. Zexion put it on, and then created a portal when instructed to. The two left together.
"They're the ones that did this to us," Isa said, looking pointedly at where the two figures stood. Lea nodded.
"Yep," he said shortly, waiting for Isa to get where he was going with this.
"They might have something to offer. And if not, we can at least have our revenge."
"You really want that?"
"Not in the same way I used to, but yes," Isa replied, hesitating only slightly. "Don't you?"
"Of course," Lea lied smoothly. He knew he was either for Isa or against him, as far as his friend thought. Considering it had been his idea to go into the castle at all…. Well he just really didn't want to get on Isa's bad side. "I'm just not used to the new us."
Isa bought it and nodded. Then, similar to how Zexion had, he stuck out his hand and made a portal. They walked through it, and entered the same laboratory as before.
Several cloaked men were gathered in a circle. They turned as one to face the newbies. Most had their hoods down, and Isa and Lea recognized their tormentor, now transformed as they were. But one figure had his hood up, and they could only see his long, thin smile.
"Welcome to the Organization," he said, picking up two cloaks and handing one to each of them. "What were your names?"
"Isa."
"Lea."
"Now you shall be known as number seven, Saix, and you shall be number eight, Axel."
A/N – Well, that's it! I hope you liked it. (Even though it ended weird. My time was up and I didn't know what else to put anyway. You pretty much know what happened from there.) I was hoping Birth By Sleep would explain why they were friends and how they became Nobodies, but it didn't at all! So, this is my explanation/guess. I hope you enjoyed. Now, back to one-shots!
