Once a Somebody
By Lynx of Organization VI
Rating: PG
Summary: The first six members of the Organization were once the apprentices of Ansem the Wise...but what about the other six? A look into the Somebodies of #7 through #12, and the Disney worlds they may have come from.
Author's Notes: The ideas came from chatting with Gext, who gets credit for a bunch of them, plus from another Roll-of-the-Dice challenge. (One of the chapters is the same as the themeset drabble.)
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts and its characters belong to Square and Disney, not me.

Lea strolled into Flynn's video arcade with a smile that cracked loud as his knuckles. Today would be the day. He was certain of it.
The crowd of rowdy teens parted at his entrance. He strolled down the aisles with all the overworked style of an 80's sexbomb, brushing his poofy-almost-spikey brown hair out of his eyes.
The hulking black monsterbox waited for him, the words SPACE PARANOIDS etched across the top in white block letters. Lea faced it, and thumbed through his pockets until producing several quarters for the hungry slots. A crowd started to gather.
Five beeps and an ENCOM logo later, the race was on. Lea threw his whole focus into the game, his brilliant green eyes tracking his opponent: the blue lightcycle. The program was fast, always just a halfsecond ahead of him, and sometimes Lea entertained the idea that the program was alive; it knew him, it outsmarted him...
If he could just overcome that blue streak, just edge a little farther...
No good. The blue cycle turned, and his red one smashed into nonexistence. It was
GAME OVER
Once again. The crowd groaned and sighed in spectator unison. Lea just shut his eyes, but the pixels still blinked in his vision.
Someday...I'll overcome you. And that'll be your game over.
