Chapter 47

In Radiant Garden, Riku, Mickey, and the Earth Land mages were talking to Ienzo, Levy, the Raijin Tribe, Aeleus, and Dilan.

"What?! We're too late?", said a surprised Mickey.

"Yes. Even would know all about the replicas from his time as Vexen in the Organization.", said Ienzo. "He was recompleted like the rest of us."

"But he didn't regain consciousness like Dilan did.", said Aeleus.

"After Lea left, he must have woken and taken his leave."

"Or he could have been kidnaped."

Everyone turn and saw two figures entering the room: Kagura Mikazuchi and Millianna, mages of Mermaid Heel.

"Kagura. Millianna. I thought you two went into town to get some more supplies.", said Dilan.

"The other members are doing it.", said Millianna. "Jet and Droy are guarding the front gate."

"Alright."

Kagura then saw Jellal. Both of them stared at each other with a calm expression on their faces, making the entire room uncomfortably silent.

"What's with them?", whispered Aeleus to Dilan.
"I don't know.", he answered.

But they then smiled at each other.

"Kagura.", said Jellal.

"Jellal.", said Kagura.

"How is guarding the palace?"

"So far no suspicious activities. How is your journey."

"We're still working on finding the Keyblade Wielders."

There was a pause until Riku went up to her and said, "My name is Riku. I'm-"

"I know who you are and what you are doing.", Kagura interrupted. "Ienzo told me. I heard you're really good with the Keyblade."

"Yes."

"For some reason, you remind me of myself."

"Really?"

"Yes. I hope you take care of the Organization."
"Yeah."

"Meow!", said an excited Millianna. "A mousey!"

She then grabbed Mickey and hugged him tight.

"Your squeezing me!", said an uncomfortable Mickey.

"Look at the big mouse!"

"Millianna, put him down.", said Kagura.

"Alright.", said a disappointed Millianna as she put Mickey down, who was a little dizzy.

"To go back what you said, Kagura. I don't think he was kidnapped.", said Fried. "Where would the kidnappers have gone in this world."

"He has a point. Aeleus and Dilan went out and turned the whole town upside down to try and find him.", said Ienzo.

"And you didn't find him?", asked Yukino.

"Nothing.", answered Aeleus.

"That's no good.", said a disappointed Mickey.

"What about his research?", asked Riku.

"Unfortunately, his work on the replicas was incomplete. There may still be documents around, but all of them from well before he made any significant progress."

"Do you have any idea where he might go?", asked Mickey.

"There's no place that he could go now that he's human. He has no means of leaving this world."

"The dark corridors-"

"Are beyond his faculties and mine now."

"So he left to complete his research?", question Minerva.

Riku then spoke up. "Let's go back to what Kagura said before. What if Even was taken? Because the Organization has tactical members to get him."

"Of course!", said Mickey. "The Organization could also use the replicas!"

"To fill out their ranks.", said Jellal.

"We'd better go tell Master Yen Sid. And Sora, and the others, too!"

The entire area was rock. No grass, no trees, not anything. Thirteen rock pillars were standing tall in the rocky area. On one of them was Saix, a member of the Organization and another black hooded figure.

"Humanity is a precious gift.", said Saix. "And yet you desire to return to the Organization?"

"Oh, yes...of course.", said the hooded figure. "One eradication at Axel's hands was enough to learn where not to place my trust.

"He gave you a second lease on life."

"He ripped me away from the one thing I care about. I don't require humanity. Give me my research. I must see it to fruition, no matter the cost."

"The replicas."

"Yes. Soon they will replace, not just replicate. Given a heart, they can become just as real as any human."

Saix smiled. "What excellent tidings. I would hate to think we invited you back into our ranks only for you to fail to deliver our final vessel...Vexen."

The hooded man removed his hood, revealing to be Even's Nobody, Vexen. He smirked and chuckled.

Back in the forest, Kairi, Lisanna, Mirajane, Cana, Lea, Elfman, and Lyon were all sitting down have a lunch break.

"So, Natsu just goes around destroying public property?", asked Lea.

"Yeah, that's our Natsu.", said Mirajane.

"The only thing he knows is destroying things.", said Cana who is still drinking.

"How can you drink all that?", asked Lea as he pointing at the piles of empty barrels.

"Don't worry about it, that's how she is.", said Lisanna.

"Hey, Mira? That magic energy you guys use in your world, what was it called again?", asked Kairi.

"Ethernano?", said Mirajane.

"Yeah, I was wonder what would happen if our Keyblades absorb any Ethernano."

"We could give it a try.", said Lisanna.

"Speaking of, where's that other guy?", asked Lea. "Mest was it?"

"He said he had some business to take care of.", said Lyon. "So he left the forest."

"Will he come back?", asked Kairi.

"Don't know.", answered Elfman. "But whatever he's doing, I hope it's manly!"

"You gotta stop saying that.", sighed Lea while everyone laughed.

Back in Earth Land, Makarov left the guild to meet with the members of the Magic Council to finalize a plan to deal with the Organization. Magic Council contacted Makarov since he was the one who met Sora on the day the Heartless attack Magnolia. He also brought Macao to help him get around. When the two entered the council room, they were greeted by two of the council members, Jura Neekis and Warrod Sequen.

"Ah, Makarov-dono.", said Jura with a smile. "It's good to see you again."

"It's nice to get some fresh air once in a while.", said Makarov. "Macao, you can leave. I'll be with them."

"Alright, Master.", said Macao as he exited the room.

"And find some good beer!"

"How is everyone at the guild doing?", asked Warrod while he was watering the plants.

"Alright. Most of them have gone with the Keyblade Wielders while some stayed behind to defeat the Heartlesses that are wandering around Earth Land."

"Yes. Those ferocious monsters that are wreaking havoc everywhere.", said Jura. "Everyone in Fiore are in a panic and refused to leave their homes, for fear of being attack. We've sent some Rune Knights to defend the towns, but even they have trouble defeating them. We tried to look for some information about them, but all that we could find was a history book called 'The Age of Fairy Tales' and the book is so beaten up that you could barely read it."

If Mavis was here, she would devise a plan to defeat them., Warrod thought.

"We have to do something to defeat those monsters."

Everyone then saw another council member entering the room, Wolfheim.

"Wolfheim, you made it.", said Warrod with a smile.

"How could you water plants at time like this?", asked an annoyed Wolfheim. "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, Wolfheim. Your name is still bazaar, even when I say it.", said Warrod. He then laughed. "Just joking."

"Damn you!", said an angry Wolfheim as he then transform into his beast form.

"Wolfheim! Don't do this!", said a worried Jura.

"I'm already broken as it is, I can't get even more beaten up!", said a fearful Makarov.

"Stop! Enough of this!"

They all saw the last council member enter the room, Draculos Hyberion.

"I apologies for the delay.", said Draculos. "But now is not the time to fight among ourselves. We have pressing matters to discuss."

Wolfheim deactivated his transformation while Makarov and Jura sighed with relief.

"It's good to see that you are here, Master Makarov. I guess you know why you are here."

"It's because our guild was the first to discover what the monsters are and who was behind the attacks."

"That's part of it. You said you got this information from the boy that wields a Keyblade?"

"Yes. Sora said that Master Xehanort is gathering his members so that they will clash with his friends. He has already declared war on them."

"How can you trust him?", asked Wolfheim.

"The kid just save Magnolia and I didn't sense any dark magic from his weapon. I believe him."

"Since this Master Xehanort is the one who is causing destruction to our world, we have no choice but to go to war.", said Draculos. "I wish there was a peaceful manner to this, but it seems that they aren't the types to negotiate."

"How strong are their members?", asked Jura.

Makarov explained. "I don't. They must have the same strength as the Spriggan Twelve, since my brats had a tough time defeating their monsters. They have thirteen members, that is the same number of Spriggan Twelve members if you add Zeref."

"If we have to fight them, I hope it would end up better than when we all have to fight God Serena.", said an ashamed Wolfheim.

"We need to find a way to counter them.", said Warrod.

"Your right. Which brings me to why I called you in today.", said Draculos. "There is a man here that is agreeing to give us information on how to fight them. He said he knows the boy."

"Is this man from another world?", asked Jura.

"Yes. May I present Master Yen Sid of the Mysterious Towers."

They all saw Yen Sid enter the room. Everyone had a serious look on their faces.

"Greetings.", said Yen Sid. "I take it you are Master Makarov of the Fairy Tail guild and the rest of you are the members of the Magic Council."

"You said you have information for us about Organization XIII?", asked Wolfheim.

"Yes. I'll give you everything."
