Gaxara snickered as Verox kneeled in front of the hooded figure. Seelix smacked him in the back of the head, and he shut up.

"My lord. It is…ready." Verox mumbled to the hooded figure. The hooded figure stood up from the giant black throne. They approached Verox and motioned for him to rise.

They were in a small black as night throne room. Gaxara and Seelix stood near the door, watching.

The hooded man then lifted his head and looked at Gaxara, whose playful smile immediately disappeared and was replaced by a fearful face.

The man walked over to him. Gaxara tried to walk away, but Seelix grabbed his hood, stopping him.

"Gaxara," the man started "I have a special mission for you."

"Oh really, gee that sucks, cause you know me and Dexsis were gonna go see a movie…" He said sheepishly. The man grabbed Gaxara by the next and effortlessly lifted him into the air, choking him.

"I guess you will have to see it another time…"

Hiero and Yuna lay down in a large grassy field outside of Excussum city. The island Excussum was massive, and had many small towns on it, as well as the large metropolis.

The night sky was beautiful. Millions of stars glistened above them. Yuna slowly reached over and held Hiero's hand.

"Y'know what Hiero? I have only known you since you came here two years ago, but I feel like I have known you forever…"

Hiero looked at her. She was beautiful. She stared back into his eyes.

"Maybe you have known me…"

Yuna moved her mouth. No words came out. Then she just, stopped moving. Hiero stood up and looked at her. She was frozen still, like time had stopped.

"Woah, Hiero you have grown."

Hiero turned around. Someone stood there in an Organization coat.

Imidieate rage filled Hiero. "Leave me alone! I hate you guys!"

The person laughed. They threw back their hood, revealing red hair that covered one eye. The other eye had several black lines under it. His skin was bone white. Hiero had only seen him once.

"Gaxara, the Dark Manipulator?" He asked. The boy laughed.

"Yep, that's me. Now listen Hiero. I need you to come back with me to N.O.B.O.D.Y. See, Xehanort is gonna have my ass if you don't come with me. So, lets make this easy."

"You bastard! Get out of my life!" Hiero yelled. He didn't summon his scythe though. He hadn't for 2 years, and he wasn't about to now.

Gaxara chuckled. "I remember when I had a heart. Wait, no I don't. Damn you got me confused!"

Six beams of darkness formed in the air and went together, forming a tanto-like weapon. Gaxara snapped his left hand, and 12 Heartless appeared around Hiero.

Hiero didn't panic. "You can't take me alive, Gaxara."

Just then, the Heartless and Gaxara disappeared, and another figure appeared. He was very muscular and had short brown hair that was spiked. Seelix.

He put his hands on his waist and laughed. "Gaxara can't capture you without Heartless! Golden!"

"What the hell?" Yelled Hiero, and he ran at Seelix. A chunk of earth erupted from the ground nearby and flew at Hiero. He crossed his hand, and a blue barrier appeared around him, the rock shattering on impact.

Seelix put his hand to his chin. "I see your powers are developing nicely. See you around." And he walked into a portal.

"….aeh. Hiero, are you listening?" Yuna suddenly asked. She stood up and walked over to Hiero, who still stood where Seelix

was.

Hiero turned around. "I'm gonna go have a smoke. I need to think."

He ran through the forest, panting and yelling. A branch whipped his face, and he tripped over a root. His face collided with a sharp rock on the ground. He rolled over in pain, blood ozzing down his face.

A figure slowly walked through the forest and approached him. The figure laughed a deep laugh. The boy yelled in horror and tried to stand, but a bandaged hand grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air. The figure brought the boy to his face. "Pathetic."

Hiero is now 5'8" and Yuna is 5'5". Ignore the previous chapter. Also, this chapter was purposelly confusing. Which I spelled wrong. Who cares.
