Organization Days
Sorry for the lateness! I still have other things to do than write fanfics, but I'm also trying to update this as much as possible 'cause I know I won't have time when school comes. I just noticed that I have over 100 reviews, sweet! Then I'll try to make this one really good. Though I'm a little shock to see that there's another story with the same title as mines... Then again, this is fanfiction...
Reviews:
KlonoaDreams: Spiky hair... Very specific don't ya think? Yep, they never learn. (high fives) I'm actually trying to sleep before midnight, getting that back into my system. Obsessions take so much time away XD

Chapter 37 The Other Side
"Now that were all gathered," began a deep, slow, almost sleep inducing voice. The man that spoke sat at the far end of the old, rectangular table, furthest from the door. The light from that one light bulb from above flickered. It's worse than a run-down basement.
"Whoa, I think we ought to come up with a cool new team name first. 'Team Evil' is lame and just doesn't cut it," an usually sarcastic voice butted in. He sat right next to the Superior, making it much easier to bug him. Everyone whispered amongst themselves agreeing to what was just brought up.
"Later... First-"
"Fine, about we do something about the light? It's flickering is a pain." Murmurs of agreement rose yet again.
"FINE, you take care of it." With that, Xigbar stood onto the table and tried to change the bulb. The table creaked at the weight and began to quiver. "Get off the table, it'll break."
Xigbar stood firmly onto the table and turned to his partner.
"Oi! Are you calling me fat?"
"Yes, now get OFF!" Before he was even able to change the bulb or get off, the table has met its end and crash to the ground, slamming their knees in the process.
"..."
"Now we have no light or table..." a more mature version of a familiar voice spoke. Found the sound of it, the owner of the voice stands at the end closest to the door and furthest from Xemnas.
"Anyways... Without a doubt, the Keyblade bearer is most likely our enemy, but who- Who else is on his side?"
"Which Keyblade bearer would the one you are referring to be?"
"Roxas, of course."
"Roxas... And who would that be?"
"You do not know?"
"If I knew, then why would I be asking?"
"You see, Xehanort here is quite stupid," Xigbar added.
"YOU BE SILENT!" he bellowed at his foolish ally. "Roxas, a Nobody with the spitting of the one called Ventus and bears a resemblance to the one called Sora."
"Ven..tus... Well, now." The unknown person chuckled at the familiarity of the name. "Now I have taken interest in this. Very well, I will assist you without question."
"Good, now the rest of you?" Murmurs increased in volume.
"Fine, we all agree to this, but you have yet to prove yourself as a worthy leader," declared a dark, sinister, with a touch of feminine, voice.
"With that all settled. Our first involvement, one of us shall strike Twilight Town. Heartless shall ravage the town to lure in the Keyblade bearer and his allies. They shall collect hearts for Kingdom Hearts to be complete. Who will volunteer to lead this?"
"I shall. It seems interesting," entered a voice that sounds so familiar with a slight heroic hint.
"Introduce yourself to them as you please, but do not get caught"
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, old man. I will not be caught so easily but simple fools."
"Haughtiness will get you nowhere. We will soon find out who sided with him. This will conclude today's meeting. Meeting adjo-"
"WHOA! WAIT UP! Surely you don't want to be called by such a mundane and pathetic name as 'Team Evil', do you?" Xigbar was persistent in this.
"Then do you have any suggestion...?" he sighed.
"Kingdom Hearts G- No, no, that's too cheap... Maybe Dark and Nothingness? Nah, that's still lame... " His questions and criticisms to himself continue in the distance as everyone just left the room. After a good half hour... "I GOT IT! Team Darkside! Was there something named that...? Oh well... What do you guys- Hey! They ditched me!"
Elsewhere
With ReO-ii, Roxas and Vexen were wondering Twilight Town in search of clues. Roxas casually walked through the streets with his hands behind his head, whereas Vexen, creep from corner to corner. "You know," Roxas began. "Being discreet is good and all, but what you're doing is just too suspicious and is weird. Just act normal!" He was embarrassed by his senpai's actions that he would just pretend not to know him as they entered the Sand lot.
"Oi, newbies! What brings foreigners like you here?" Seifer bullied the annoyed Roxas and cautious Vexen.
"If I knew you lived in the Sand lot, I wouldn't have come. Your hideous face burns my eyes," he retorted with a smirk.
"Why I oughta"
"Get a brain?"
"You! Struggle, now!" A blue bat was thrown at Roxas's feet. He picked it up and stepped onto the platform.
"Fine, just because I'm nice and I pity you, I'll use less than half my strength."
"Cocky little..."
"Go!" Fuu started to match. Seifer ran straight towards him, ready to whack him. Roxas just stood there nonchalantly until he was close enough before he simply whacked the bat in that latter's face sending him into the wall.
"My bad. My hand slipped." Roxas stuck his tongue out, full of pride and satisfaction. Clap, clap, clap. He turned around to see the trio: Hayner, Pence, Ollete.
"Nice job!" they praised him. "You sure taught that punk a lesson." Roxas just smiled.
"Roxas, come here," Vexen called only for Roxas's face dropped into annoyance, sighed, and walked towards him.
"Whaaaaaaaat?"
"This is no time for fun and games."
"Man, you're not cool like nanny! No wonder you're element's the opposite. You know that buffoon was asking for it!"
"Yes, yes... But you know why we're here."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. You shouldn't talk about it in public... I knew I should have teamed up with best friend..."
"Axel's trust is questionable."
"Not nanny! BEST FRIEND!"
"...Who..?"
"Xaldin!"
"He's not your best friend... He's nobody's best friend..."
"So he is!"
"That's not what I meant! He does not have a best friend! He gives everyone he cold shoulder!"
"Nuh uh! Just ask him!"
"... Forget it..." Everyone in sight is just wondering what's going on. It's like papa arguing with his little boy, only they're not related. Then screams echoed, drawing attention, and a swarm of Heartless soon crawled throughout the town.
"Whoa! What are those things? Bugs?" Pence cried.
"Not in my town!" Seifer claimed. Wait, he's still conscious?
"Heartless..." Roxas hissed. His eyes narrowed with a sense of seriousness and summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He charged straight on, slashing them away as he warned them to be careful as they would take away their hearts. Vexen summoned his shield to fend off the threats and use ice magic to cover Roxas. As they killed off more and more, the flood of darkness increases. "Argh! It never ends! They just keep coming!" He shot thousands of rays of lights to eradicate the fiends. They were getting tired. "Should we call for help? This may be just too much for us to bear..."
"Let's find the source!"
"But we're surrounded no matter what!" Snap! The Heartless backed off a little. The two members turned their heads toward the direction of the snap. There was a figure on the roof. He bare such a resemblance to someone they know all too well. They gasped; even with the resemblance they know it cannot be so with that dark difference.
"Heh. Too much for you?" the figure laughed.
"N-no way... -?"
Continues
"Xion, are you sure this is okay?" Namine whispered to her partner as they crawled to a sewage system that's surprisingly very clean.
"It's fine." They were in the depths of darkness, seeking for clues and information in the End of the World. Filled with Heartless, they hadn't need to worried too much, lacking hearts. Soon they came across a strongly built building. Why would there be a building like the sort humans use for shelter in the world of darkness and Heartless?
"Is that...?"
"Probably... It has to be. It's the only way it'll make sense. Their hideout... Now once we get close enough, do not speak or make and sound at all," Xion instructed his assistant. She is the professional at information gathering. They approached with caution and quietness. Xion led Namine to an opening, and they carefully crawled through. Unfortunately, it was an opening for the Heartless to come and go. In front of them was a parade of the shadows. Xion then saw another path. Quickly before the Heartless noticed, thankfully they were very dumb; they climbed in to vent system and moved ever so quietly. After a moment of crawling, they encountered small ventilation holes. Careful not to let the light show their presence and faces, to looked in and listened to whatever that may happen.
In sight was Xemnas sitting in a chair charting out a plan. They had glimpses of the blueprint. Then Xigbar barged in and complained, "You guys ditched me!"
"How you come up with a new name...?" Xemnas asked without even lifting his head.
"Darkside!"
"..."
"What?"
"That's a Heartless... Whatever..."
"Oh, that's why it rang a bell..." They could have sworn that Xemnas uttered 'imbecile'. "Hey... It is just me, or is it stuffy in here?" They looked up at the vent, and the two hid their heads.
"Hm..." Xion gestured Namine to back up and get out. Their powers were useless there. She carefully backed up with Xion following, but then the vent creaked. It wasn't well built after all. The whole part fell down revealing the spies. "Look what we have here..." Namine and Xion, backed up. They were caught.
'Help us... Roxas' Namine thought.
Another place
"Ha...!" Kairi gasped.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Namine... She said, 'Help us, Roxas'."
"Huh... I feel like something bad is happening but..."
"Should we go find out?" The red head and brunette turned to see their silver haired friend.
"How?"
"We have our ways."
Nobody
Xaldin and Saix searched the world once called the Land of Departure. They saw nothing but grass, road, cross road, and the broken Castle Oblivion. "No matter how we look at it, nothing here has changed since the installment of Castle Oblivion..." Saix conclude after endless walking with sight of the same old thing.
"I've never been here before, so I wouldn't know," Xaldin simply replied.
"Well then. Shall we just return? Staying here any longer would before pointless."
"We should drop by the Castle That Never Was. If we don't return there at all it'll be quite suspicious."
"I'll go first. After thirty minutes, come." Saix left via corridor of darkness. In the mean time, Xaldin just explored the old castle and its rubbles.
Night time always
Lexaeus and Zexion were at Traverse Town, examining and exploring every inch of he place. "It's quite similar to the World That Never Was, wouldn't you say Lexaeus?" Zexion asked his partner.
"Indeed, but is less flashy, less people, and has a lot more Nobodies and Heartless roaming the place with Kingdom Hearts in our sky."
"Hmm, it is as you say. They share the shame infinite night, a town with lights, and some Heartless."
"Detect anything?" The younger and small- er... The younger one took a whiff of the air and closed his eyes.
"It's faint... But Xemnas was here. With his stench lingering so faintly, he was probably here a few days ago... Why...?"
"Let's look again more carefully..." The two of them took another round through the darkness. In the alleyway, they stumbled upon something they had not seen the first time. Zexion picked it up.
"A fake... heart...? It looks real enough to pass as the actual organ though... Who and why would someone have such a thing?"
"Let's take this back to that place then go home."
Extra
"It sure is a lot quieter today. Why is that?" Axel asked the others.
"It's is huh...? But not quiet enough with the ruckus going on there..." Luxord complained pointing towards Demyx playing his sitar.
"How odd..." Axel leaned back on the couch thinking. "OW! MAN, THIS SEAT HURTS!"
"You're surprised because...?"
"What were they thinking when they got these...?" Axel muttered as he stood and stretched.
"Probably, cheap, on sale, go for it."
"Yeah, probably. How can Xaldin stand such a thing...?"
"He's just as hard as the furniture."
"Not really. Fatty's got a lot of soft spots from eating so much junk and being lazy."
Luxord looked up from his cards. "Now that I think about it... He does look like he got bigger..."
"Man, Sai's the worst. He just left without saying a thing!"
"Who's the worst...?" They turned to see Saix at the hall way.
"Uhhh..."
"Boy, you're in trouble~" Luxord sung.
"Shut up... Hey Sai! Where ya go?"
"Out for a stroll. Must I tell you everything...?"
"Oh I see."
"I'm surprised that you were not cursing out Roxas."
"Oh I just figured he was with Namine. Besides, he and the nanny thing is annoying..." Axel continued to mutter to himself. Saix walked by him and gave him a whack on the head. "OW! What was that for?"
"Your earlier comment." He just left the room.
"Brutal as ever..."
...
Seems more adventure like now... and is not as funny... I tried putting in more details though made it kind of uneven with parts filled with details others that are just dialogue. Oh well.. Things are finally happening. I think you could guess who they are already, but for sure one of them will be revealed in the next chapter. Roxas and Turkey meet one of their enemy. Namine and Xion are caught by Pirate and Creep.
Just saying, regardless of the outcome, it'll go back to randomness with some changes.
Demyx, Larxene, Marly: WHY DIDN'T WE MAKE AN APPEARANCE?
Me: I'M WORKING ON IT! Demyx you did appear...
Demyx: I didn't get to say anything...
Me: Then next time... Just be patient!
