VI

Hardly any light was getting inside the room... It was dull outside, and nothing much was happening. Xanamas was in her room working on something important when Saix showed up, uninvited.

"Xanamas...The time has come. We must leave now." He flipped his hair and smiled strangely.

Outside, Xanadu was listening in. She had heard the voices as she was passing by, and couldn't help herself. She just had to listen in on the conversation. "Saix, the Luna Divider? What buisness would he have with Xanamas?" She continued to listen in.

"Can it wait? And why the sudden appearance. I swear that if Karax or any of the other knew we were talking, we'd both be dead" She scribbled something on a piece of paper, set down her pen and folded it up. "Saix... What's gonna happen if I join the organization?"

"You'd break off all ties to these...abominations... and would be able to control the weaker Nobodies..." He came up beside her and place a hand on her shoulder. "Hurry up..." He stared at her. "Don't you want power? Don't you want to be treated the way you deserve to be treated? If you join with us, you'll recieve everything that you've ever wanted and more."

She stood up and sighed. "Fine, let's go." They vanished.

Outside, Xanadu gasped. "She truly has turned on us. I've got to tell this to Karax!" She ran until she reached Karax's room, and was panting once she got inside.

Karax was braiding her long silver hair, and tying it behind her back. "Hm? Xanadu? Something wrong?"

Xanadu was still panting, trying to catch her breath. "It's Xanamas. Saix was in Castle Oblivion!" Her breathing was softer and calmer. "She's actually working for them, as a spy."

Karax inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Very well. I'm calling a meeting. Let's meet in the lounge. Go find the others." She finished braiding her hair just as Xanadu left. "Too bad... Now she's going to wind up dead for sure..." She looked at a picture of her whole self and some guy who had very long, somewhat spiky red hair. "It's a shame that she can't turn back time, because if she could, I'd still be with you..." She sighed, grabbing her gloves and leaving her room.

----- Lounge -----

Zyrex, Xigbar and Rainthrax sat on the same couch, and Rainthrax, who sat in the middle, was being squished. Axel and Xanadu sat on the other one, while their leader stood. "What this all about? I was winning a game of air hockey!" Zyrex glared at Xigbar, and Rainthrax didn't want to be in the middle any longer. "You gonna tell us, or what?"

The all stared at the Dancing Winds, who told them to ask the Mystic Seer. Everyone's eyes turned to the youngest member. She didn't say a thing, and tried hard to avoid their icy eyes.

"Fine... We have a spy. After the information that Xigbar and Xanadu aquired, I've been able to confirm it. Only moments ago, our youngest comrade was eavesdropping on Xanamas. I know that it isn't polite..." She exchanged glances with Zyrex. "...But it was useful. Moments ago, Number 7, Saix, the Luna Divider, was here, inside of Castle Oblivion. The two of them spoke with each other, and Xanamas left with him. It's my belief that she is now one of them, for good, and is posing as one of us for their benefit. Should any of you see her again..." She turned away and began heading for the door. "Kill her. Get ready. We leave in a few hours." Karax had left the room for her own.

----- Altar of Naught -----

Xemnas was standing at the edge, staring blankly at the heart-shaped moon. Saix, Xaldin, Roxas, and Xanamas were silently standing behind him. They waited in silence for a good ten minutes before anything happened. "On this day, we welcome a new member into Organization XIII, which will now be known as Organization XIV. On this day, we welcome Xanamas, the Mysterios Manipulator, Number XIV, into the organization. May she serve us well and die in battle while crushing all those who oppose us." He raised his arms toward the moon. "Serve us well... and fade after serving us well."

Xanamas smiled and stepped forward. "Thanks!" Her weapon automatically appeared in her hands, and it was instantly marked with the symbol of the Nobodies. "Woah... So what now?"

Xaldin's hands were behind his back and he didn't say anything. Saix, on the other hand, was staring at the moon and grinning strangely. "We wait for them to come to us... They're already on their way..."

Xemnas was still staring at the eerie moon. "Xaldin, I want you to confront them at Memory's Skyscraper. Saix, if they get past him, you'll wait for them in Proof of Existance. Roxas, keep your distance and follow them. Xanamas, you'll wait here with me." He turned around, and his golden eyes forced them all to take a step back. If all of you die, I'll be the one to stop them for good. Be assured. Karax will fall once and all..." His smile was devious, and even Saix couldn't look at his leader. "Go, all of you."

They each left via the darkness, and Xanamas' face was riddled with confusion. "I'm not quite sure I understand, but ok..."

----- Lounge -----

Zyrex had his lance in his hands, Xibgar had his guns, Axel had his circular blades, Xanadu had her bow, and Karax had her semi-circular blades and katana. They looked at each other, nodding. Karax stepped forward. "Let's go over the plan one more time. Rainthrax, you're in the lead." Her head turned to Zyrex and Xanadu. "The two of you are following in the middle. Afte you..." She looked at Xigbar and Axel. "...there's the three of us. If we encounter Xaldin, he's mine, along with Xemnas. Saix, Roxas, if we see him, and Xanamas are fair game." She took one last look at her followers. "This is the end of Organization XIII. It's all or nothing now, agreed?"

"Agreed."

The Crimson Harbinger inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. "What about regular Nobodies, such as Dusks and Dancers?"

Rainthrax glard at him. "We obliterate them. Our targets are the leader of Organization XIII. The others don't matter."

"Got it memorized?" They all glared at Axel, whose head fell. "Sorry... Force of habit..."

They looked out the window, into the endless abyss of darkness. "It's all or nothing. Let's go!"

And so it had officially begun. They left for The World That Never Was to end it. Organization XIII had fallen. For good. The time of Nobodies was over.

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

I'm just curious... For those of you who think that the picture in Karax's room is of Axel, you're wrong. I'm not going to tell who it is... It's my little secret, although, he is from a video game I happen to like. See if you can guess... heh heh!

Also, I've been meaning to say this for a while now. If you're trying to figure out the names, here they are: Xanadu - Unada Xanamas - Samantha (my friend's Nobody) Rainthrax - Kathrina (my other friend's Nobody) Karax - Karla Zyrex - Zeke (both he and Karax are exceptions like Namine and Kairi) Got a problem with any of them? Deal with it!

Later!!
