Hello folks. This is my first story, so I'm asking you to be gentle. The first chapter was sort of an introduction, so it was not so good. Well, on with the story!

Note: Roxas is wearing the outfit you see him wearing in Twilight Town.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Axel opens a dark portal. Roxas looks at it and starts backing away. Axel looked at the kid and laughed.

"Hey, don't be scared. We're going to see the Organization," Axel assured.

Roxas felt uneasy, but stepped through the portal, and Axel did the same.

The first thing to come to Roxas' eyes was the immense design of the area. The second was that the place seemed to be floating. And the third…everything was white. It was better than the Dark City; he couldn't even see Axel's face clearly during that time. Now, turning around to meet his companion, Roxas definitely knew Axel looks…abnormal to say the least. Spiky red hair, somewhat dark green eyes, and some sort of face paint were the most noticeable characteristics. He also noticed the blinding contrast of the clothes Axel was wearing; black to white.

"Does all of this "Organization" look like you?" asked Roxas with his insatiable curiosity.

"Yeah, pretty much," was his reply.

Axel couldn't help but feel that Roxas was so…innocent and vulnerable. I mean, the kid was in a world completely clouded with darkness with the most powerful Organization of Nobodies (most of which have serious mental issues; see a therapist) and to top it all off, no memories of his origin. Now that was not a very good condition.

As they wandered the halls, the two Nobodies reached an elevator (known to gamers as the Crooked Ascension). Then they walked up countless numbers of stairs (not really) and reached the "game board" of the Organization. For those of you who know, it's the Proof of Existence.

"Whelp, you have to meet the other members," declared Axel. "First is…Number XII, the Savage Nymph. Her name's Larxene, she's the only female member here, and…well, she'll kill you if you piss her off real bad, got it memorized?

Roxas gulped as Axel opened the gateway to Larxene's area (it's not really a room; I mean Luxord and Saix's rooms were frickin' battlefields for cryin' out loud).

"Hm, Axel? What do you want?" came a voice from the darkness.

"Just like you to meet a new recruit," said Axel.

"Hmmm…really?" replied Larxene as she stepped out of the darkness.

Roxas saw that she was blonde and not very much taller than he was himself. Then again, other than King Mickey and Donald Duck, Roxas is probably the shortest character in Kingdom Hearts.

"Nice to meet you, kiddo. What's your name? Oh, and judging that Axel is the one making the introductions, I don't need to tell you my name," said the Savage Nymph.

Axel mumbled something under his breath, something about him not being that predictable and other things that involve massive swearing.

"My name is Roxas. Oh yes. Axel mentioned something about a "savage nymph". What does it mean?" asked the oh-so-oblivious Roxas.

"We have codenames here. Savage Nymph is mine. Oh, and he probably told you my rank. Rank is determined by order of recruit. I was the youngest in terms of membership until you came along," answered Larxene.

"Oh."

"Heh, you should see more of the Organization than just me. However, I'll warn you that some aren't really…'right in the head'. 'K?"

"Okay, let's go Axel," said Roxas.

"At least someone's having fun," Axel muttered.

"Next is Number XI, our Graceful Assassin. I won't tell you his name due to somebody's insult," Axel said in a sort of low voice.

"All right then."

They entered Number XI's room, and saw him with his hood up. He was apparently practicing something, as the figure looked tired.

"Hey, flower boy, meet our new member," Axel called.

"A new recruit? And don't call me that," the figure said pulling down his hood.

"Wow…pink hair," said Roxas.

"That's everyone's first impression…anyway, I don't need to tell you my name, so you tell me yours," said the pink haired man.

Roxas opened his mouth to speak, but Axel intervened.

"Actually, I didn't tell him your name. Why'd you think I called you flower boy? To poke fun at you?"

"Yes…" said the man. "Well anyway, since Axel's being "unpredictable", my name is Marluxia."

"My name's Roxas."

"Okay, you should meet the others. I'm busy with something."

"That scythe? Larxene's a better fighter than you, and she's younger than you by three months!"

"Shut up and leave."

Axel mumbled something about a killjoy (he likes mumbling, doesn't he?) and left Roxas there. He sprinted to keep up with the older man.

"Hey…" Roxas spotted something at the doorway. "You said something about a scythe. And there's a picture of one on the pad we're standing on."

"Yep. We put our weapons at the doorway. Larxene uses kunai knives, just so you were wondering."

"Next is the Gambler of Fate," said Axel. "Number X, his name is…"

Axel stopped in mid-sentence. He thought it would be better if Roxas found out his name by asking.

They entered the room. Roxas spotted the inscription of a card on the pad. So he's a gambler who uses cards. Wow, that was unexpected.

The character in Havoc's Divide looked up.

"Greetings, Axel. Who's that with you?" the cloaked figure said.

"This is Roxas. You should tell him your name," answered Axel.

"You mean you didn't? That is…"

"Shut it!" Axel cut him off.

"All right…" the figure took off his hood to reveal short white/slight blonde hair, a moustache, and blue eyes. "My name is Luxord. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Roxas."

"Okay…"

Nothing more needs to be said. They entered Number IX's room, the Melodious Nocturne. An instrument like a guitar was at the front. They entered, and the first thing the two noticed was that the place was flooded with water! Someone was playing an instrument in the middle, and the water ebbed and flowed to the music.

"Demyx, stop playing!" Axel shouted.

"Huh, Axel? And look, you brought a friend!" said "Demyx".

Demyx had something resembling a mohawk, somewhat light brown hair, and a cheerful attitude. 'He's probably really happy to be alive,' thought Roxas. How clueless he was.

"Yeah, his name's Roxas. Well, you two talk. I have something to do."

"Wonder what that would be…Okay, Roxas, my name's Demyx. Good to meet cha!" said Demyx.

"Okay, good to meet you, too." Roxas replied.

"Sooo…wanna be friends?" Demyx asked.

"Umm…okay," was the reply from Roxas.

"Cool! So, why's Axel showing you around? Wait, lemme guess, he found you in the city, right?"

"How'd you…" Roxas started but was cut off.

"That's how all of the Organization was found. At least, I was. Anyway, here comes Axel. Have fun meeting the rest of the Organization! And I have a feeling that you and Number VIII might make good friends!" Demyx said rather excitedly.

"All right, see you around, Demyx," Roxas said and left.

"Ha ha, all right. Heh, I like you already!" Demyx said in a perfectly straight tone.

Roxas and Axel left. Axel skipped the Number VIII door.

"Umm…shouldn't we meet Number VIII first?" asked Sora's Nobody.

"Oh, he's not in his room right now," said Axel absent-mindedly, but he was very noticeably hiding something.

"Okay, we'll see him later then."

"Depends on your definition of "later", said our spiky redhead friend with a smirk.

"What's that supposed to…What! Why didn't you tell me you were Number VIII?" said "Captain Clueless" AKA Roxas.

"You never asked. Well anyway, that's me, The Flurry of Dancing Flames," replied Axel. "Next up are the higher members. I'm not allowed to just barge in on them, so you have to meet them later with a not-so-formal introduction. I think we should see the Superior, Xemnas now. Of course, he's Number I."

Upon entering the Altar of Naught, they saw Xemnas gazing at a heart shaped moon.

"Kingdom Hearts…soon…soon we'll be complete again," Xemnas said in a very deep tone. He had long white hair and slightly dark skin. His deep voice was very strange.

"Xemnas, meet our new member Roxas. He just can't remember anything (hint hint)."

"Aaaahhh…Roxas, good to meet you. I am the Superior of the Organization. I'm sure Axel told you," said Xemnas.

"Wait, Axel, what do you mean 'new member'? I never agreed to join!" Roxas yelled.

"You sorta have to. Nobodies are different than normal people. Nobody (pun not intended) would accept you. But we will, us thirteen members have to stick together," Axel said knowing Roxas can't turn down the offer.

Roxas pondered for a moment, then finally said:

"Alright, I'll join."

Xemnas laughed clearly and loudly. It seemed intimidating.

"Welcome to the Organization…Number XIII."

How was it? Don't be too harsh, this is my first story ever, so I'd appreciate advice and such. Critisism is encouraged, I need to know my mistakes. So please review, okay?
