The Legend of the Keyblade
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Answers
The Mansion
They looked at the abandoned mansion that they had run around in so often in their childhood with a little bit of fear. It was the end of the line here, this was it, and whatever they faced and learned would change everything for them. They would have to be fools not to realize that. Jayson let out a bitter laugh as he looks at the gates.
"We should go in." Jayson says quietly with a shove at the gate, he looked at everyone a little surprised to see the two Organization members still there with them.
"Yeah, let's go." Eden agreed and strode past him with a calm exterior that was most likely fake. Jayson smiles and enters behind her, the other three trailing behind them.
"I bet he's in the library." Ivory says.
"Hmm?"
"Well it just seems like our best option." Ivory says with a shrug, Jayson nods and they all move to the library, opening the door slowly.
"I don't see anyone." Demyx announces loudly.
"No really?" Eden snaps sarcastically. Demyx smiles and shrugs.
"What's this?" Jayson murmurs and he moves across the room. He looks at Axel who 'accidentally bumps something next to him, causing the floor to disappear and a set of stairs and a secret lab to appear.
"Well let's go." Jayson murmured long since given up on trying to get the secrets out of the two 'clueless' Organization members, they would have their answers soon enough.
DiZ
"They have entered the lab." He announced to no one in particular. He stared at the three keybladers with mild amusement as they shoved the two Organization members into the lab, cursing and glaring at each other. DiZ sighed and wondered wearily if he should have taken Mickey's offer of being there when the headstrong teenagers arrived. He watched them make their way though the lab with a guided ease that few people came across naturally. He knew that they probably would like what he had done to them, but he also knew that it was necessary; he just hoped that they would give him enough time to explain. He looked at the screen once more before turning and facing the door.
The Keybladers
Jayson watched the door open in front of him at his presence and looked at the man who was standing and facing him. Jayson took note of the head wrap and the strange clothing. He also noticed that he was favoring his left side slightly, as if he had been injured recently. He was obviously old and had an aura of wisdom around him that was hard to mistake.
"I take it you are DiZ." Jayson said quietly, moving closer to the man before he could answer gripping the blade he hadn't realized he had summoned in one had and the spear in the other.
"I am. I'm surprised that you found me so soon." DiZ admits in a tone that suggested surprise and something that Jayson couldn't quite define.
"Yeah well making sure that worlds weren't falling to the darkness took up some of our time; maybe you should have come and met us since it seems obvious that you were expecting us." Eden replies in an edged voice, Jayson could sense the bitterness that he himself felt himself rolling off her for a moment, before she calmed herself down and stood close to Ivory.
"Perhaps I should have." DiZ replied.
"Perhaps." Ivory echoed quietly putting a restraining hand on her best friends shoulder.
"So where are the wonderful Sora and his entourage of evil fighting friends?" Jayson asked with annoyance. DiZ raised an obscured eyebrow.
"You know that Sora is-"
"Alive? Oh yeah, wasn't so hard to figure out considering the fact that our world seemed the only one to age while everyone else claimed to have seen him in at least the last three months, instead of one hundred years." Jayson answered with a humorless laugh.
"I mean we've only been told by the second big bad to go find him." Eden replied.
"Because we're not who they want to take out." Ivory finishes.
"Not to mention the fact that the Organization keeps stalking us." Ivory adds as an after thought. Axel and Demyx shrug as if to say that they might have been stalking them.
"Maybe I should explain." DiZ finally says with a sigh.
"Yes that would be quite wise." Jayson answers.
"You see after saving the worlds once more, Sora and his friends Riku and Kairi were summoned again before the King to fight a raising evil." DiZ pauses and looks at the three teenagers appraisingly.
"I, however, questioning the need for this put the three hero's into a state of rest to heal and be awoken when it was time for them to take the evil out. The King eventually agreed with me and I enlisted three people unknowingly to fight off the forces of darkness." DiZ pauses as if he were thinking about the best thing to say.
"These three people sadly died soon after they started, because I knew this would upset the King, I did not inform him of these said events and with much effort held the darkness at bay myself while painstakingly creating you." DiZ looked at the three teenagers for a moment. Demyx jaw was hanging open and Axel looked thoughtful. Ivory looked shocked, Eden indignant, and Jayson bitter.
"I knew there was something different about you three! You were like us only not!" Axel declared after a moment.
"We are not like you." Eden retorted tartly.
"This is true. You are not nobodies you all have hearts, it took me months to find the hearts of the original resistance. You are still them but different. So I created a past for you here that would keep you safe as you finished coming into your own."
"Like what you did to Roxas." Axel murmured with surprise. DiZ nodded slightly before continuing.
"Even if your minds did not recall your duty your hearts did." DiZ said quietly.
"So are we human. Will we just disappear when we give up our duty?" Jayson asks quietly.
"Sora cannot be awakened by me." DiZ replied looking at the three teenagers in front of him.
"Where is he? I'm done with this." Jayson snaps, DiZ looks a little surprised as he points to a door. Jayson nods before striding through the door, Ivory and Eden move to follow. Jayson shakes his head and goes in alone.
Ahhh, the last one is the next one, and I am working on it even as I type this out, so this mean that it shall be out soon, not in another three months. Now the next one is the last chapter and maybe a epilouge as well, I have not decided if I want them to be separated or not, deoends on how long they both are. Anyways, REVIEW! There are as I said above only so many left and then you won't be bale to review unless you want to go back and review the chapters you did not review, which is fine with me but you see my point. Have a lovely day.
