Hi, guys! Keyblade Master of Light here again and, as you already know, this is yet another KH story, but different from the others. The story I'll be doing will be set around Organization XIII and, you guessed it, having new members. So, let's see where this will take us and I hope you enjoy this starting segment of this Organization XIII based story with new members.
You already know this, but here's the disclaimer. I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts or its characters or anything I will put in. They belong to Square Enix, Disney, and other owners from their worlds and characters. The only thing I own are my OCs. That's it. On with this.
Prologue: Four New Nobodies
"Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free, until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. When that time comes, we can truly, finally exist." A voice said.
In a town known as Twilight Town four figures dressed in black hooded coats with black gloves, black boots, silver braided beads, pull strings, and zippers in the middle of their coats are walking down the town's square until they come across a boy who is wearing the same hooded black coat and has blue eyes and spiky blond hair.
"Roxas." One of the four figures said and it's a boy with messy and spiky white hair, teal eyes, and having blue diamond like marks on his cheeks.
"Guys. Do you think we all have hearts? Axel asked me that question." Roxas said.
"Do we?" The second figure asked and it's a girl with purple hair tied to three ponytails, cyan eyes, and having red heart like marks on her cheeks.
"What was your answer?" The third figure asked and it's a built and taller boy with red-orange wild hair, green eyes, and having yellow spade like marks on his cheeks.
"I wasn't sure. All I said was...I can't just look inside, but...if there is something inside us, we'd feel it, right?" Roxas asked.
"I guess so." The fourth figure said and it's a short boy with dark blue hair tied to a messy ponytail, teal eyes, and having green club like marks on his cheeks.
"Oh, yeah. I have something for you guys." Roxas said taking out four light blue ice-cream bars.
"For us?" The white haired boy asked.
"Thank you." The purple girl said as they take the ice-cream bars and start eating.

Roxas wakes in front of a gate to an old and abandoned mansion and he sees a dark corridor appearing in front of him showing a hooded cloaked figure walking to him.
"You seek answers." The hooded figure said as he summons a name that says 'Sora' in front of Roxas. "You feel nothing. Nothing is real. I can give you purpose."

(World of World That Never Was)
(Field Theme: Scared Moon-385/2 Days ver.)
(Xamayto's Room)
Xamayto who is now wearing the same black hooded coat is lying on his bed looking at the ceiling then he hears a knock on the door revealing to be Ixem who is also wearing the same black hooded coat.
"Ixem..." Xamayto said.
"Hey, um, we're supposed to be at this place called Where Nothing Gathers." Ixem said.
"What about Arxan and Sarxim?" Xamayto asked.
"They're waiting outside for you. Come on. We don't wanna keep Xemnas waiting." Ixem said.
"Yeah, I guess." Xamayto said as he gets off his bed.
The two are outside Xamayto's room and are in the hallway where they see Arxan and Sarxim.
"Took you long enough." Sarxim said.
"Sorry, I was just..." Xamayto was cut off.
"No excuses. We were called to meet with Xemnas and the rest of these Organization guys. Let's get our asses in gear." Sarxim said.
"I don't wanna imagine them angry..." Arxan said.
"Who cares what they are. I just want this over with." Sarxim said.
"Let's just hurry and get to Where Nothing Gathers." Ixem said as the four begin to move.
(Where Nothing Gathers)
Thirteen figures are sitting on thirteen different thrones while Xemnas himself is sitting in the middle of the thrones.
"Good tidings, friends." Xemnas said.
"So, what's goin' on, Boss man? Why'd you call us all the way here?" Xigbar asked.
"I was having a nice nap too." Demyx said.
"Sleeping's all you're good at." Larxene said annoyed.
"Yeah, and I guess throwing tantrums are your best qualities." Axel said.
"Shut up, Axel!" Larxene yelled.
"All of you be silent!" Xaldin commanded.
"Thank you, III. Now then, I am pleased to announce that we have new members to wear the coats." Xemnas said.
"With all due respect, Superior. I thought we're to have thirteen members in the Organization." Zexion said.
"If that's so, then why must we have new ones joining the ranks?" Marluxia asked.
"You may consider them as assets to our cause, just like XIII." Xemnas said looking at Roxas.
"New members...?" Roxas asked.
"Lemme guess, they're neophytes like Rucksack here." Xigbar said.
"Ouch..." Roxas said.
"You will find out yourselves." Xemnas said.
Xamayto, Ixem, Sarxim, and Arxan arrive at Where Nothing Gathers and they look up to see all the other members.
"THESE are the ones claimed to be assets?" Vexen asked.
"You got a problem with that, loser?" Sarxim asked.
"Excuse me?! In this Organization, I am ranked No. IV and you will show me your respect!" Vexen yelled.
"Calm yourself, IV." Xemnas said sternly.
"Y-Yes, Milord." Vexen said.
"Haha. He got you on a leash." Ixem said causing the scientist to glare.
"Ugh, just like what Marluxia asked, why are those things members?" Larxene asked.
"Y-You don't have to be so mean about it..." Arxan said.
"Shut it, twerp! You'll speak when spoken to." Larxene said.
"Hmph, last I checked, you're not in charge." Ixem said.
"Grrr!" Larxene summons her knives.
"Enough." Xemnas said making Larxene stop but she scoffs. "As I have answered XI's question, they are assets, like XIII." Xemnas said.
"Assets for what, might I ask?" Luxord asked playing with his cards.
"You will soon find out." Xemnas said smirking.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Xamayto said nervous.
(Grey Area)
After the meeting Xamayto, Ixem, Sarxim, and Arxan arrive at a lounge with couches and a glass table and the four sit on the couches.
"Well, that was a fun meeting." Ixem said.
"Those guys think they're all that a bag of chips! They're treating us like children!" Sarxim yelled.
"Well, we ARE kinda in that age..." Arxan said.
"Look, we'll get through this, I promise. Xemnas promised us a purpose and he called us assets, meaning we'll be useful." Xamayto said.
"Easy for you to say, Mister Chainblade Master! Your weapon is the most powerful thing in our group." Sarxim said.
"But..." Xamayto said.
"Don't worry about it, Xam. We'll be fine, as long as we're together." Ixem said.
"Um, excuse me?" A voice asked and the four see Roxas.
"Oh, you. What do YOU want?" Sarxim asked annoyed.
"Sarx, be nice." Ixem said.
"It's okay. Sorry about that meeting. It's really nice to meet you guys. I'm Roxas." Roxas introduced.
"Xamayto. You call me Xam, if ya want." Xamayto said.
"Ixem." Ixem introduced.
"M-My name is Arxan." Arxan said.
"Tch, I'm not here to make friends with you." Sarxim said turning his head away.
"The rude one is Sarxim. So, Roxas, when'd you join the Organization?" Xamayto asked.
"Eh, about seven days. What about you?" Roxas asked.
"I think it was after those seven days." Ixem said.
"I'd say three or four at most." Arxan said.
"I see." Roxas said.
Just then Saix arrives at the Grey Area.
"There you are. Lord Xemnas requests your presence in Hall of Empty Melodies." Saix said.
"For what?" Xamayto asked.
"Just get there as soon as possible. Roxas, you will be needed there as well." Saix said.
"Okay. See you guys there." Roxas said as they leave.
"Let's go." Sarxim said.
(Hall of Empty Melodies)
The four arrive at a large room with a platform and they find all the members present.
"You wanted us here?" Xamayto asked.
"Indeed. You will be tested for your skills and abilities." Xemnas said.
"This is a waste of time. I left my room for THIS?" Larxene asked.
"Shh!" Lexaeus shushed.
"You, Arxan, will be the first to test your skill." Xemnas said.
"M-Me...?" Arxan asked nervous.
"Go on." Ixem said lightly shoving Arxan to the platform.
Xemnas then summons a row of Dusk Nobodies.
"Huh?" Arxan asked.
"Your test is to test your might against the Dusks, the lesser form of Nobodies. Unleash your weapon and powers on them." Xemnas said.
"What weapon...? I don't remember having one." Arxan said.
"He's a goner." Xigbar said.
"Bye-bye, twerp." Larxene said smirking.
The Dusks slither for Arxan who covers himself but as he raises his hand in defense a grey and violet staff with a Nobody symbol at the end of the staff appears in Arxan's right hand.
"Huh? Is that...?" Arxan asked.
"That's his weapon? For real?" Demyx asked.
"It's just as stupid as Vexen's." Larxene said.
"How interesting. I wonder how this will play out." Luxord said.
"Arxan, you gotta fight!" Ixem said.
"But..." Arxan stops talking but a Dusk Nobody tries to attack but Arxan swings his staff to knock it back.
"Stop pussin' around and fight!" Sarxim yelled.
Arxan holds his staff tightly ready to face the Dusks.
"Okay... I can do this..." Arxan said.
The Dusks try to attack Arxan who moves out of the way but as a Dusk tries to get Arxan he delivers a swing with his staff to send the Dusk away but two more Dusks jump to attack Arxan who is ready to defend himself but then many mirrors appear all over the Dusks.
"Huh?" Arxan asked.
"What...? He just summoned mirrors." Zexion said.
"So, he can make mirrors appear. Interesting." Vexen said.
Arxan goes for one of the mirrors but then he goes into it and is now inside a mirror and then Arxan emerges from the mirror as well as other reflections of Arxan himself and they begin bombarding the Dusks with their staffs all over from mirror to mirror until Arxan gets away from the row of mirrors and the copies deliver the final strike at the Dusks but then Dusk appears behind to get Arxan who vanishes and behind the Dusk who looks around Arxan delivers a thrusting strike with his staff destroying it.
"Very impressive." Xemnas said.
"So, he can summon mirrors and copies. Big deal. Zexion does stuff like this." Larxene said.
"I make illusions and see things that are not real, but Arxan seems to use the mirrors to trap and create reflections to send them to help attack." Zexion said.
"Looks like you found a new rival, Zexy!" Demyx said.
"Thank you, Arxan." Xemnas said.
"Um, thank you." Arxan said bowing.
"Next, Sarxim." Xemnas said.
"Finally, something to do." Sarxim said walking to the platform. "So, do I get to fight these Dusks too?" Sarxim asked.
"Indeed." Xemnas said.
"Bring 'em on." Sarxim said as Dusks appear. "If Arx was able to summon a weapon, I don't why I can't." Sarxim said as he raises his hand and just then a giant lava like hammer appears and it lands in Sarxim's right hand. "Perfect. Let's rock." Sarxim said.
The Dusks slither to attack Sarxim who dodges and delivers a heavy swing his his hammer dealing heavy blows to the Dusks easily destroying them but then a Dusk wraps itself around Sarxim who struggles but then unleashes something around which is magma burning the Dusk alive and it disintegrates.
"So, he uses a hammer and make magma?" Axel asked.
"Looks like you have some competition, eh, Lexxy?" Xigbar asked.
"His strength is impressive, but he lacks conviction and discipline." Lexaeus said.
"In other words, he's your polar opposite, minus your powers." Demyx said.
"Hmph." Lexaeus said.
"Maybe they are something you can teach him." Marluxia said.
Sarxim continues to deliver heavy swings with his hammer crushing Dusks left and right and then slams his hammer unleashing magma melting and burning every Dusk but as more Dusks try to attack Sarxim delivers a spinning attack with his hammer getting every Dusk and slams them to the ground unleashing more magma.
"Conviction and discipline are needed, but he has potential." Xemnas said.
"I will see how well he develops." Lexaeus said.
"You have done well, Sarxim." Xemnas said.
"I hardly broke a sweat." Sarxim said.
"His cocky attitude is annoying!" Larxene said.
"Next, Ixem." Xemnas said.
"You're up, Ixem." Xamayto said.
"Wish me luck." Ixem said as she gets on the platform.
"Let us begin." Xemnas said as he summons more Dusk Nobodies.
"Okay... Let's see if I can make my weapon." Ixem said and just then clouds of poison appear around her hands and they form into grey and purple sais with Nobody symbols at the end. "Well, here are my weapons. Now..." Ixem stops talking as she cartwheels away from the Dusks.
The Dusks slither to attack Ixem who attacks with her sais in a graceful and dancing manner followed by cartwheel attacks but another Dusk attempts to wrap itself around Ixem who delivers a multi stab with her sais easily destroying the lesser Nobody but then more Dusks surround and attack but Ixem surrounds herself in poison and unleashes it all over the Dusks.
"Her movements are graceful and she's deadly on the field." Marluxia said.
"Eh, she's fast and violent. I'll give her that." Larxene said.
"C'mon, you're impressed." Demyx said.
"Shut up!" Larxene yelled.
As more Dusks try to attack Ixem throws one of her sais at a Dusk destroying it and then unleashes streams of poison to attack the rest of the Dusks but as more Dusks attack Ixem delivers graceful dancing style attacks with her sais followed by a cartwheeling kick and then delivers a graceful spinning slash with her sais getting every Dusk while also unleashing more poison to severely damage them and they disintegrate.
"I welcome her to the fold." Marluxia said.
"You seem very interested in her, huh, Marly?" Axel asked.
"She's graceful, deadly, and can put up a fight. I look forward to seeing her progress." Marluxia said.
"She's okay. I don't really care." Larxene said.
"Well done, Ixem. Now, Xamayto. You are next." Xemnas said.
"You got this, Xam." Ixem said.
"Thanks." Xamayato said walking to the platform.
"Show us your power." Xemnas said.
Xamayto breathes and raises his hand making something appear and it's a black and blue katana shaped sword with a dark grey handle with red bandages around while a black chain hangs at the end showing a Nobody symbol.
"That's it? Just a sword?" Xaldin asked.
"Hold on now, Xaldin. Appearance are deceiving." Luxord said.
Many Dusks appear and surround Xamayto who stands ready and makes his katana blade extend itself into a black chain and delivers a spinning attack with his weapon getting all the Dusks.
"A sword with a chain? That's new." Xigbar said.
"And judging by how it appears, it seems like it might be as powerful as the Keyblade itself." Marluxia said.
"What'd you think, Roxas?" Axel asked.
"It's...pretty good so far." Roxas said.
The Dusks try to attack Xamayto who dodge rolls and slashes with his Chainblade and then makes the blade into a chain again and attacks every lesser Nobody but then a Dusk attacks from behind but then Dusks is still in the air showing Xamayto using his hand to emit blue telekinetic energy.
"He's holding that Dusk in the air." Vexen said.
"That's amazing." Roxas said.
Xamayto slams the Dusk on the ground many times and then throws it against the wall and telekinetically throws his Chainblade at the Dusk destroying it but then more Dusks try to attack Xamayto who levitates himself into the air and then uses his Chainblade to attack the Dusks from the air and then unleashes telekinetic energy getting every Dusk but when a Dusk tries to jump to attack but Xamayto grabs the Dusk with his Chainblade and then slams it to the ground and delivers a finishing slash ending the Dusk.
"Swordsmanship and telekinesis. That Chainblade looks pretty powerful." Roxas said.
"Who knows, maybe you two might be friends." Axel said.
"You think?" Roxas asked.
"That depends." Axel said.
"You have done well, Xamayto. All four of you have shown your power and skill. I trust you will assist us in our plan." Xemnas said.
"And what plan is that?" Arxan asked.
"Really, you don't know?" Xigbar asked.
"Our plan is to create our own Kingdom Hearts." Xemnas said.
'Kingdom...Hearts?" Ixem asked.
"What is that?" Xamayto asked.
"It is a powerful force that will complete us all." Marluxia said.
"Complete us how?" Sarxim asked.
"To become complete people. As you see, we are called Nobodies." Zexion said.
"But I thought those Dusks we fought are Nobodies." Ixem said.
"They are lesser Nobodies that we control. You and us are very powerful Nobodies. It is the name for those of us, who are missing the very thing we need to be who we are." Xemnas said.
"And what's the important thing?" Xamayto asked.
"Hearts." Xemnas said.
"Wait, you're saying we don't have hearts?" Arxan asked.
"Correct, like us, you four were born without hearts, but once we complete Kingdom Hearts, we will have hearts of our own." Zexion said.
"But how can this Kingdom Hearts be made?" Ixem asked.
"Emblem Heartless." Luxord said.
"What?" Sarxim asked.
"You see there are two types of Heartless, but first, allow us to explain what a Heartless is. A Heartless is a being born from the darkness in others' hearts. They search about in many worlds for hearts to consume. The first type of Heartless are known as Purebloods. They are the very beings that manifest as darkness. Then, there's the Emblem Heartless, that are created by hearts that were experimented on. Our targets are the Emblem Heartless, because they can release hearts once defeated. And we have the very person to help collect those hearts." Xemnas said looking at Roxas. "XIII, Roxas, the Keyblade's chosen on." Xemnas said.
"I think I get it..." Xamayto said.
"But you too have a special power of your own, Xamayto. Your weapon, the Chainblade, it's as equally powerful as the Keyblade itself. It also has the power to defeat Heartless." Xemnas said.
"But wouldn't any weapon defeat them?" Xamayto asked.
"In truth, yes, even without a Keyblade, Heartless can be defeated, but we have no way of collecting hearts. They will just create more Heartless." Xemnas said.
"I see. So, you need Roxas' help to collect hearts, but Xam's Chainblade can also collect hearts." Ixem said.
"Indeed." Marluxia said.
"I have high hopes for all of you, as you have roles in the Organization." Xemnas said.
"Okay, then I'd better not disappoint." Xamayto said.
"Now, then speaking of Heartless. You will be given missions daily. Xamayto, Ixem, you and Roxas have your mission together." Saix said.
"Okay, what's our mission?" Xamayto asked.
"Follow me." Saix said as the three follow him.
Well, that's the prologue for this story and we've met our four new Nobodies. What'd you think of them, their weapons, and powers? Lemme know what you think of this story and I'll might do the next chapter. Until then, see you later.
