Chapter 28: Intermission II: Secret Revelations of the Organization
Meanwhile, far away in the ruins known as the Keyblade Graveyard, two black robed figures were conversing with each other on top of steep precipices of stone.
"I'm certain that you realize that life is a precious gift, and yet you have decided to rejoin the Organization," the character known as Saix asked a hooded stranger.
"Indeed, but what of it? One eradication at the hands of Axel was enough to learn where not to place my trust. What's more, he ripped me away from the one true thing I care most for. I care not for my own humanity, instead, I desire my research! I must see it to its end, no matter the cost!"
"The Replicas?" Saix guessed, as the stranger laughed at his comrade's realization.
"Precisely! Soon enough, they will replace, not merely replicate. If given a heart, a Replica can become as real as any human!"
"That is what I wanted to hear from you. It would truly be regretful to bring you back into the Organization only for you to fail in providing us with our final vessel... Vexen." The figure Saix was talking to then proceeded to lower his hood, revealing the Nobody of Even, the scientist and master over the frozen forces of nature.
A couple decades prior...
Deep in the Keyblade Graveyard, a hooded mysterious figure was sitting on a rock in the desolate canyonscape, twiddling his thumbs as it seemed like he was waiting for somebody. Eventually, a Dark Corridor opened and revealed another black coated stranger wandering out.
"So? What do you think of it?" the first person asked, as the second person took off his hood and revealed himself as the student known as Xehanort.
"The coat wards off the darkness. It will be of great use to me," Xehanort answered the stranger.
"Y'see? I told you! And what about your world tour? I bet you can see now why your role is so important," the stranger continued as Xehanort sat beside him.
"In some distressing way, I see just how necessary darkness can be... which is why I know exactly what needs to be done. But just what kind of role do you play in all of this? I don't even know your name."
"Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Can't go spoiling the future now, can I?" the stranger replied in a joking tone.
"Let's just say I've some friends in high places as well," Xehanort told the stranger in response, looking upon his Keyblade. "But in time can I call you a friend or an enemy?"
"Me? An enemy?" the stranger questioned in shock, hiding a smirk from his true face under his hood.
"...As if."
And that finishes this another chapter. I'm sorry it's shorter than my other ones, but I wanted to try to include my take on that one scene from the ReMind teaser trailer that premiered this week (I'm personally certain that the scene is a flashback with Luxu, given how important it has been revealed he's going to be in future installments; also I think they should just save the Master of Master's appearance for KH4). Also, though the trailer was underwhelming, do I believe that the trailer showed ALL of what's going to be in it? Hell no, so I'm just going to be cautiously optimistic. One thing's for sure though, I am very happy they brought Oathkeeper back and it's free to download. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little update and please remember to leave a review to let me know what you think about the story! See you all next time, and may your heart be your guiding key.
