Chapter II: Teasing of the past
Aishix's breathing hitched as he sweated in his sleep. He had removed is coat and was dressed back in his prior attire, a grimace of pain had been etched into his face as he tossed and turned in the bed.
"Trevor! Keep up!" A blonde haired girl rode on a scooter, alongside another boy, one with a spiky blue Mohawk. His overall appearance was appropriate for a pre-teen, but he was dressed in a short sleeve grey shirt with globs of paint decorated over the front. He had a small grin on his face as he pedaled on his bike as to make sure he kept up with the girl, but his legs were exhausted.
*Bzzz *Szzz* the memory was so faint that it blurred and static distorted its visuals.
"Dude, they almost caught us that time. But luckily for us, I got these!" Another boy held out his book bag full of snacks and sodas, and the girl along with Trevor lit up with surprise as their little group leader gave them a smile. He looked like a much younger version of Aishix, his hair messy and spiked much like his future Nobody.
"Come on guys, you know when it comes to making midnight runs, I reign supreme!" The young boy said with a generous grin as he dumped various snacks and drinks on the couch. He reached for a soda and discreetly shook its fizzy content. He held back a smirk as he tossed a can behind his head. "Jalen, that's yours bro!" Jalen had a slightly lighter tan than his friend, but unlike him, he kept his hair cut short, and was wearing a dark blue snap-back and a silver chain given to him by his mother. "_you really got it. I thought-" He was cut short as he opened his can and was shot in the face by a surge of grape soda. Trevor had laughed so hard the milk he was drinking had shot out of his nose and into the girl's hair. When she turned to face him, she had a menacing aura around her and fire burned in her eyes as the boys cowered in fear.
"I am so sorry Keico, how can we-"
"SMOKE BOMB!" The younger form of Aishix throw down an egg with duct tape around the sides onto the floor, only to realize he hadn't gone anywhere at all. "Wait, why am I still here?! I'm trying to avoid Armageddon!" However, Keico went to her room in their shared house and got the one things the boys feared: Her extensive makeup kit. All three of the boys became as white as a ghost when they saw that she was coming to them with it.
"EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! WOMEN AND ME FIRST!" Jalen screamed as he jumped over the couch and down the stairs. However, much to his surprise and misfortune, the door was locked.
The Nobody suddenly sat up, and racked a hand through his hair. It wasn't much, but he was sure he was seeing his memories of the past, even if it was only a small fragment.
"Keico, Jalen, and Trevor…" Aishix noticed his voice the sound of longing and loneliness. He then remembered that feeling was impossible to feel anything. He didn't have a heart anymore. He couldn't even remember his real name until Xale gave him the name of Aishix to go by. It was infuriating to say the least, or rather that's what he would feel if he could. The spiky haired Nobody reached for the Rosario dangling around his neck. He fiddled with the aquamarine stone in the center, watching at light bounce off of it and into his eyes. As he turned and rested a hand on his bed to stand, he felt his hand settle on something soft. He squeezed it a couple times, only to prompt a soft moan from whatever it was.
"It's really squishy. And soft." Aishix squeezed it more and was met with a head butt. He reeled in pain and hissed at he saw the form of who was laying in his bed. It was a girl, with long black hair that reached the center of her back, with various blotches of white scattered throughout it. She had creamy vanilla skin, and was dressed in a plain black sleeveless shirt and white shorts. However, she was rubbing her eyes from sleep. When she stopped and opened them, they were blood red in color, and sclera pitch black in color.
"Are you… Aishix?" She asked, with a voice calm and clear of any and all emotion. Aishix nodded at this. The girl went back to laying down in Aishix's bed. "I've been assigned as your personal servant by Lord Xale, and I at your complete service my liege." She said in that bored voice of hers. Aishix was certainly confused as to why he would need a personal servant. More so, why was she in his bed when he was asleep? "Quick question, why are you here anyway? I don't think-" The girl in question put a hand up to his face, silencing him.
"Before you say anything else, I have a request for you Master Aishix. Please give me a name."
Aishix tilted his head in confusion as the girl had asked him to basically give her a name. He thinks to himself as to what name would be good enough for her. He flung his head back in deep thought.
"How does… Yozora sound for a name?"
"Yozora?"
"Yea, cause it translates to night sky. Your hair is dark, like the sky here, but when it's clear, you can see stars, which can go along with the blotches of white in your hair. So Yozora." The newly christened Yozora put a finger to her chin in deep thought, and nodded at it.
"I like it. Yozora it is, Master Aishix." Yozora bowed respectfully to her master, who sat still with the same confused expression on his face. She was thanking him for giving her a name? He didn't think a name was all that special. And Yozora was the first thing that had come to his mind above anything else. Aishix reached over her and grabbed his coat, which had been removed in his sleep, and threw it back on. Yozora gave him an inquisitive look, which was added on as a blue question mark appeared above her head.
"How are you doing that Yozora?" He waved the question mark away as it vanished, and the girl simply gave him a shrug. He turned away and walked out of his room and down the hall. The only sound to accompany was the sound of his drawstrings jingling and his bored patterned footsteps. However, the only thing he didn't notice was the old fashioned roller skate laying at the top of the steps he was nearing. Once one foot had got in contact with it, bands secured his foot in place, and a small rocket attached to the side activated.
"W-WAIT!" The rocket blasted off, taking the attached Aishix with him. He banged his head several times against the metal bolted floor, then smacked into a wall as the roller skate made a sharp right turn, nearly breaking his right ankle in the process. Aishix's eyes became comically white circles as he flailed his arms wildly in an attempt to gain back his footing, but the rocket skate wasn't having any of that. It only increased in power, and Aishix's mouth widened as the girlish scream escaped from the depths of his vocal cords.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Aishix was sent vaulting over a stair case into a massive banana cream pie. The rocket sputtered to a complete halt as Aishix picked his face up out of the pie.
"Ugh… Who left a rocket there?" Aishix shook his face clean of the pie and whipped cream. He noticed a flash from the corner of his left eye, and standing there were Tevexs and Naxbica, with Naxbica holding her phone and recording the last bit of their prank on the Destructive Military. Aishix flopped onto his back and his eyes were swirling in circles. "Did anyone get the number of the pie that hit me?" Aishix was still very dazed as Tevexs walked over to him, and kneeled next to him. "Welcome to the Organization, No. XV. During your first week, you shall be subjected to pranks. And we promise we won't kill you. You're very special to everything we have going on, so we can't afford to lose you just yet." Tevexs waved a hand around, but Aishix had a look of terror on his face.
"Does that mean you'll make me wear more rocket skates?" Aishix asked, but was slightly unnerved (or what he would assume to be an unnerving) from the thought of being strapped to more rockets. Aishix back pedaled away and summoned Hollow Heart into his hands, and readied himself for a brawl. "Aishix, put your keyblade away. We aren't going to fight you." Naxbica attempted to calm her younger ally down, and surprisingly, Aishix dismissed the mystical sword and pulled off his soiled coat off, and he stared at the cream and banana that was clinging to the garment. Naxbica gently took the younger Nobody's coat and she pulled out a large sketch book, black in color and the Nobody sigil embedded in the book's cover. Holding the coat in her right hand, she used her left hand to hold the book, and her thumb to pop open the cover. The first page was blank, and she smiled at this. She slowly dropped the coat into the book, and the coat itself became a full color drawing, but was still covered in the upper coating of the pie. Naxbica extracted a pencil from her coat pocket, and in a dexterous display of hand movement, erased the excessively spread dessert off Aishix's coat, and quickly switched to a pen as she recreated the missing section of the coat that she had erased. In the span of five seconds, the coat looked as it had previously, not a blemish or tear in sight. She then dipped her hand back into her sketch book and extracted the boy's coat. She quickly gave it a quick look over before tossing back to its owner, who quickly draped himself in his uniform.
"You should go report to Vilixao. She's in charge of giving you your missions. Or rather, your mandatory missions. If you ever have some spare time, try to train and get used to your state of being a Nobody." Tevexs murmured the last part to a degree in which Aishix almost didn't hear.
Realm of Darkness
The Realm of Darkness was exactly as its name described. It was nearly pitch black, the only illumination that was granted was the dark sun hanging on the edge of the sky, and the blue glow from the pulsating rocks that littered the landscape. A figure sat on the edge of a rock spire, his face shrouded by a mask and hood. He wore a black, and green gas mask, but only covered from the nose, and down to the chin. He also wore a simple square shaped eye patch over where the right eye would be. He wore a long sleeved dark blue trench coat, with the edges of his sleeves frayed and very ruined, with blood stains permanently stained into them. Under the long blue sleeves, his hands were covered in white bandages, which were gripping the ground hard. He wore black steel toed boots, the laces nicely tied in a proper knot. His lone eye was a faded brown, watching the water hit the shore and recced in a natural motion.
"When a person loses their heart, they become a Nobody, yet you still remain." The masked figure turned around to glance at the owner of the voice. The first thing he saw was the heterochromatic green and red eyes that met his lone eye. The teen had spiky brown hair, with an ahoge that had been bent at an angle. He were a simple short sleeve white shirt, with a green tie with a faded yellow design on the tie. He wore black jeans with a simple black belt. Lastly, white sneakers with a red line spanning across the lower middle of the shoes. (1) He stopped a few feet away from the other figure, whose lone eye twitched when he said that statement.
"Well, Hajime, if I remember right, the process was interrupted by outside forces. Specifically the one that originated from his heart… Therefore, Aishix is the Nobody of him and myself. However, Aishix takes more so after him, but that isn't too much of a deterrence for anything I have planned. Hajime started down at his friend with a look of pity. Even after what had happened in his home world, especially when he was in the Reserve course, he had tried his best to get Hajime into the main course. However, life had personally made him its bitch. Not only did Hajime not listen to what he thought, but with the Izuru Kamukura Project, he was left with what he could call "A Nobody with a Heart". So being stuck with Izuru for a few years was what he could say would be… spiritually taxing. But ever since the Neo World Program, he now had two idiots in one body.
"That reminds me, where did the other side of you go?" Hajime asked, and Tobi simply shrugged.
"Zay-Zay tends to go off and do his own things. Even now, we're still connected, but I can't exactly tell where he is. Somethings blocking me from sensing where he is."
Hajime sighed, and held a hand out, and in a flash of light, a light blue ethereal blade formed in his hand, a silver hilt connecting to the double edged magic beam.
"Come on now Hajime, you wanna go again? I'm pretty sure the current score is 2,089-2,088. Are you gonna try to tie it?" Tobi smugly smiled as he stood up, and in a crackle of purple lightning and golden light, he called forth a keyblade. It possessed a black handled grip with a raised spiral carved around it. Its pommel and guard resembled black demonic wings, with the very base of the blade resembling that of a goat. The shaft was formed from two black barbed blades, with strange white markings etched into it, which resembled brambles. The teeth of the keyblade was in the form of a demonic wing, with a small blue eye in the center of it. The eye was also present on the talisman. Tobi's arm dropped down to his side, and dropped into a Djem So stance, but flipped the weapon into a reverse grip, and bent himself into a sprinters stance. Hajime took a single step back, and no sooner than he did, Tobi vanished from his field of vision, however, Hajime wasn't fazed in the slightest. His modified brain running several numbers and figures, quickly surveying the landscape. There were a few stalagmites, which he immediately took notice to. However that wouldn't be like Tobi. Tobi favored the thought of circumventing the most obvious means of battle. However, Hajime reflexively blocked with a small adjustment of his blade, it being inserted in the space of where the shaft (make your jokes now everyone. Cause things are gonna get really fighting based.). However, this didn't deter Tobi in the slightest. He dissolved into a pool of a strange black fluid, with the smell of iron permeating heavily from it. Hajime gasped, and quickly jumped back, a several feet, and not a moment too soon as the strange liquid hardened, and thrusted speedily towards Hajime, who ducked to the side, and slashed the hardened fluid with a downward stroke, and then a diagonal upward slash, rendering it into nothing but broken shards. However, this gave Tobi enough time to close the gap that the Ultimate Hope created, smashing his keyblade into the ethereal blade. Tobi then went to sweep his legs, however, Hajime hopped over this, and maneuvered his body to avoid the leg attack, as well as a horizontal attack.
"Hm. You've been training a lot after everything haven't you Tobi?"
Tobi merely grinned at Hajime, and a evil grin spread across his face. Of course he hadn't spent all his time doing nothing. Eleven years was a long time to train, and with no one but precious little students who have grown up so much in the time that he had been busy. But he made sure he kept himself in the loop. But being nearly alone for eleven years, he had nothing to do but eat, train, and torment a certain girl that he trapped here.
"So you assumed I would have sat around on my ass all this time and do nothing?! I'm not Hanamura! I think with my brain more than I do with my dick! I ain't that one dimensional!" Tobi growled as he swung a hand towards the heterochromia teen, coated in the same black liquid as before, which hardened around his hand in the shape of a blade. Hajime's eyes began moving around. Left, right, up, down, diagonal! His talent-enhanced brain was working faster and faster, calculating the amount of power each of Tobi's strikes would deal, and how much force he would have to exert to cancel out the moment of his keyblade, then how much time would he have to come analyze the composition of the black liquid that dripped from…
Wait… it wasn't just any liquid…
Tobi was using the Black Blood.
Hajime darted away from Tobi as fast as he could. He was certain that Tobi wasn't able to access that ability, especially since that the body he was using wasn't his original body, or even one of the bodies he and Isiah had used previously. The body that he used in conjunction when he and Isiah fought together was currently being used by the Nobody known as Aishix. However, he was more surprised that the Black Blood was slightly stronger than how was when he and Isiah were together, it simply signified that Tobi had dedicated every ounce of time he was given to train. He was stronger than he was when he was complete. Meaning that if he was ever to become complete, his full power would skyrocket.
Hajime side-stepped Tobi's blood cloaked hand, and quickly sent a powerful open palm strike to the side of Tobi's elbow, a resolute crack came from the bone, some of his muscle and veins were violently severed as blood squirted from various holes in the limb. However, Hajime dodged the blood that was leaking out of the wound as it hardned and became jagged blades that lungd towards him. Hajime parried and shattered the blood tendrils, until he realized he was started to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of numbers. Only for Tobi to jump back, and break off the nearly infinite expanding amount of blood tendrils. However, Hajime wasn't having any of that, and charged light into his sword, and with unrivaled precision and grace, Hajime slashed and hacked through the bloody storm of black goop. However, he felt something… a very familiar something.
"You felt that too didn't you Hajime?" Tobi gripped his ruined arm, and with a quick yank, the limb was removed from his body, and a quick dark fira disintegrated the limb into nothingness.
"GRAH!" He roared in hate and pain, the black blood shot out from where the limb had been, and the blood hardened before it shattered like glass, and a fresh fully functional arm was in its place. He flexed it a couple times before opening a dark corridor, to which they immediately rushed through the corridor.
Tobi's Base
The dark corridor opened in a unfamiliar location. It appeared like a laboratory. The walls were black and purple in color, styled very reminiscent to that of a checker board pattern. There was a desk near the edge of the room, with a simple leather book in the center. The room was filled with various jars filled with organs, be it brains, livers, kidneys, spinal cords, skulls, and the occasional two jars with gallbladders. Against the back wall were eight large bacta tanks, each filled with a body filled with a unknown liquid. On the ground was a girl, who was in a… explicit position, with chemical burns on her clothes, and with slight tears on the verge of falling out. Her hair was dark purple, and various strands were cut in unusual choppy style. Her eyes were a faint grey-purple eyes.
"T-Tobi!" She looked at him with her tear filled eyes, and Tobi's eye merely twitched and he sighed.
"Mikan… What have you done now?"(2) Tobi's eye glowed purple and he pulled the spilled chemicals into the air and into a special container. He then walked over to his closet, and pulled out a hoodie. It was pitch black in color, with the word PUMA written in neon green coloring, as well as his drawstrings. He offered it to Mikan, who looked at the dark being in surprise.
"T-tobi, that's your favorite hoodie…" Mikan tried to move back but Tobi quickly casted a cure spell on her, then quickly yanked off her burned top, and just as swiftly put his hoodie on Mikan. He only grinned, but this grin was invisible to her as it was covered by his mask. Tobi turned to the bacta tanks behind him. He stared at the four males and four females that were curled up and floating up and down slightly. His eye color shifted back to its natural dark brown color, and studied them.
"I really have to get back to finishing these guys. I hate leaving things unresolved." Tobi turned away from the two former Ultimates, and retreated into his private quarters. He locked the door behind him, and walked over to his vanity dresser, and pulled a medium large from underneath the dresser. He pulled off his mask and sniffled a little. His vison became slightly blurry. He opened the chest and pulled out a small charm. It was in the shape of a star, colored a deep amethyst in color, and attached to it was a small leather rope to be attached to his pants or worn as a necklace. He smiled sadly at the charm as he put it back in the box. He then reached in and pulled out a leather face mask, which had a demonic grin spread across it, the teeth resembling that of a demon. His thumb stroked the center slightly, before returning it to its former place. Lastly, he reached in, and pulled out a weathered photo. It was of himself with his childhood friends. They were doing stupid poses in front of his childhood house, and he had jumped in at the last minute, with the stupidest smile spread across his face. He smiled a little more at the memory. He placed the photo back in the box before tears started falling. He had changed so much from the person he used to be, though nearly same in appearance, but forever scarred mentally. He took so many lives, he, the Remnants of Despair, and the members of Organization XV. And in the end, it didn't even matter anymore. But enough of those thoughts. Tobi affixed his mask back onto his face, and placed the trunk back where it was supposed to be. He wiped his tears away, and inhaled deeply, then exhaled sharply.
"With your training comes a solid vow. You will have nothing. Your privilege is the dirt." Tobi recited those words that Lebaxk's mother once said to him. And the words that he heard from Yen Sid.
"May my heart be my guiding key."
THAT'S A WRAP PEOPLE! CHAPTER TWO IS HERE! But in all seriousness, I'm back, and I'm better than ever! So prepare youselves for what I have in store! Because now that this is back, you'll all get what I have been working on!
