Xejicka: Chapter 14 and running!

Thalkxene: That's good. Anything special going on?

Xejicka: Kathleen got a question from rikufanattic. She asks: What's it like working with Reno and the replica (now known as Durus), I mean is it hard, or do they make you laugh...etc?

Kathleen: It's very hard. Durus looks younger like Sephy. He feels like a brother to me and it's weird that a brother looks like someone I love. Reno is like an older brother that tries to take care of us all, even if he can act stupid sometimes.

In the back ground

Reno: Come one! Come all! Get a date with Durus here! He's single and still a virgin! Come one! Come all! -Durus is bound in a chair next to Reno-

Xejicka: Does it even bother you that one of youring bodyguards is pimping your other body guard?

Kathleen: Nothing bad has happened yet. -Reno starts running rapidly with Durus, Durus quickly grabs Kathleen-

Reno: Run away from the fangirls!

Durus: Dammit Reno! -keeps running and a mob a fangirls chase after them-

Thalkxene: If you can't beat them, join them. -joins mob.-

Disclaimer: Xejicka does not own the Kingdom Hearts Series. Final Fantasy Series, any of William Shakespeare's work or an adamant crossbow. Only the OCs and the new form of the Riku replica.

Xejicka; I agree. -joins mob-

Chapter 14: Assasssin's Oath

Deep Dive

Jackie was falling through the darkness again. She was falling at a fast rate to the glowing platform. The design on it this time was of three people at a small table, they were enjoying sushi. She recognized the people as Reno, Kathleen and Riku, except he wore an outfit Jackie had never seen him wear before. Humanity stood above Kathleen's head. Her nice smile let Jackie know that she was in her own heart again.

'Hi, Humanity," Jackie said as she landed across from Humanity.

"Hello, Jacquelyn," Jackie cringed a little. Only her family called her by her full name.

"Why does the platform have Kathleen, Reno and Riku on it today?"

"His name isn't Riku, it's Durus. He was Riku's replica, now he is his own being. He is here with Kathleen because he is her bodyguard with Reno."

"So that's what happened to the replica. But how? If the replica..."

"Do you want to have some of your memories recovered?"

"I just want to know where I've seen you before, at the very least. It's been bugging me,"

"Of course," Humanity walked next to Jackie. A large screen appeared before both of them.. A wasteland appeared on the screen. For the next few minutes Jackie stood, gaping at the screen. She watched the fighting, the clashing of keyblades, and the cold use of blizzard spells.

"No wonder my heart chose the blue haired woman as your form. She's a badass," Jackie commented. "It sucks that Roxas got killed,"

"His name isn't Roxas, it's Ven. The blue haired womans' name is Aqua. The brunette's name is Terra. You knew all of their names at one time. In fact, you were quite fanatical about them," Humanity explained. Jackie gave a small chuckle at the name Terra (A/n: C'mon, the name is very girly and the name of the main girl in Final Fantasy VI is Terra) "You know, there are a few similarities with what happened to you and Xemnas and what happened in the video. Why don't we watch?" Immeadiately another screen appeared right beside the original.

The moment where Jackie attempted to do a jump attack on Xemnas and getting caught by the head paralled the moment Ven tried to attack the bald man and also get caught by the head. The moment when Ven stared down at Aqua before he got frozen paralled the moment when Jackie stared at her friend Sara before she reverted from the berserker form. The moment where the bald man dropped Ven off the cliff paralled the moment when Xemnas dropped Jackie off the Altar of Naught. The moments concluded with Xemnas and the bald man looking up at the sacred moon with their fiery amber eyes.

Jackie gaped at the screens. It was terrifying how she could witness these in a third person perspective. "Let's see that again," Humanity said. Both videos repeated. "Again," and again the videos repeated. This process repeated several times until Jackie got fed up.

"Okay, okay. I get it, I get it! I see the similarities and I like the music on the track. I just can't stand seeing Xemnas' face. That man has an obsession with killing me. What's with that?" Jackie angrily asked.

"You didn't pay attention to his weapon of choice last time," Humanity pointed out. The two screens above them merged into one. The image of Xemnas before he attempted to stab Jackie appeared. A circle appeared over the dagger he held."If he wanted you dead, he would have struck with a saber."

"Then what was the purpose of the dagger?"

"Did you notice the crest of the nobody on his chest and the shape of the dagger? Perhaps that would have some connection,"

"Any idea what that connection would be?"

"That is something you have to discover on your own,"

"You mentioned that Kathleen had bodyguards. What did Sephiroth do to her? Is she okay?"

"Kathleen is perfectly alright. She was ambushed by a few fairies, but that's the worst thing that happened. Did you know that she is a descendant of Tifa Lockehart?" Humanity asked.

Jackie started to chuckle a little. "Heh heh. I really don't see how that's possible, but it would explain alot. I always thought they looked alike. Hell, they even throw punches that could take down a speeding truck," Humanity smiled and gave a small chuckle herself.

"What makes it possible is th-" Humanity was engulfed by a white and purple form. The entire platform and Jackie became engulfed in the mysterious mist.

Hollow Bastion

"I really don't see why you deemed it necessary to buy a sword when you are just going to throw it away," Durus said irritably as he and Reno watched Kathleen plant a shiny blue sword into the ground. The three were at the edge of a cliff that over looked the heartless castle.

"Look, I had a dream last night. It made me think that maybe my friend deserves a proper burial of some kind. The least I could do is use an awesome sword to set her grave," Kathleen answered as she took off her moon pendant. She tightly wrapped it around the handle of the sword.

"What's that?" Reno asked as he shifted his weight a little.

"It was a gift that Jackie gave to me. I should at least distinguish this grave," Kathleen answered. She kneeled in front of the sword and bent her head down. "May she rest in peace. I hope they have unique weapons for her in heaven," she concluded as tears dropped from her face. Out of respect, both Durus and Reno kneeled along side Kathleen.

A quick thwang was heard and Kathleen saw something fly right next to her right eye, She turned around and saw Leah with a crossbow aimed at Kathleen's chest. "I'm sorry," she said as she shot again. Kathleen quickly dived and dodged the arrow. Durus charged at Leah and attempted to kick the crossbow out of her hands. He was too slow as Leah shot him in the chest.

Durus collapsed backwards. Reno charged at Leah with his rod. He almost succeeded in hitting her but he was shot in the chest. He fell back and landed next to Kathleen. She looked in fear at his body, then she turned her head to her old friend.

"Leah, what are you doing?" Kathleen asked. Leah took aim with her crossbow. Kathleen was now able to see that the shooter was crying. There was a thwang and Kathleen was down. Leah took out her list.

"Watch out for Durus' kick and Reno's rod," she read aloud with a sigh. "That Fate was right on the money. Okay, next person... Matt. Take him down as well as everyone with him. He will be on the trail that you will take for the city. Beware of whips, guns and a long sword," she read some more. With that, she started down the trail. She heard the sound of a large group of people walking. Leah aimed her crossbow and shot.

The World That Never Was

Jackie felt the presence of water all around her. She creeped her eyes slightly open, just enough for her to see her sorroundings. She was in a glass pod of sorts in Vexen's lab. Various machines and needles were hooked up to her and the pod. There was even a tube that led to a special mask that covered the lower half of her face, enabling her to breathe. She looked down to notice her wardrobe was changed, again. She was in a short black tube top and long, black cargo pants.

I have all reason to beleive that I'm better off uncosious around here and that they costantly change my clothes to make up for the fact they wear the same thing everyday, she thought silently. Three cloaked men appeared before the pod. Jackie's eyes widened ever so slightly at the sight of the men that were none other than Saix, Vexen and Xemnas. Vexen leaned forward a little and tapped on the glass. He gave out one of his initial cackles.

"You did a great job restaining her, Saix," Vexen said with a look of satisfaction.

"She is very lucky to have a simple stimulus," Saix said in a voice that was hollow of emotion. Jackie scanned the three nobodies as she heard their conversation. She caught eyes with Xemnas and rage surged through her veins.

"And there it is now," Xemnas added as Jackie started to transform. She started to writhe violently, few bubbles flying ever which way. The Chilly Academic hurried over to a machine next to the pod. He started to frantically press buttons. A small roar was heard from the pod and Jackie's writhing stopped. There was a pain that surged through her entire body. Xemnas laughed a little before he spoke.

"So you're finally awake. Do not forget that pain you have experienced. everytime you act up. you will feel that pain. You are now under my control, regardless of where you are," Jackie tried to break the glass with her bare fists, a pathetic attempt at escape. Vexen pressed a few buttons on the machine and the pain surged through Jackie again. All of her movement stopped and she felt abnormally weak. It was Saix turn to speak now.

"What reason would you have to escape? Your world was shortly destroyed after we brought you in. Your friends didn't even try to save you when they found you. Instead, they ran away at first chance. You have no where to run, so why leave?" Saix stated. If there was a moment Jackie would have broken down, it was now. Whether she cried or not, she couldn't tell. Misery consumed her spirit and that was all that could be said about her at this time. She started to wish that Xemnas did succeed in killing her.

"We will be back to check on your work tommorrow, number four," the Superior concluded. He and Saix headed for the door when there was a shooting sound. Xemnas was thrown back. Saix drew his claymore, but it wasn't enough for he was shot. Vexen tried to retreat and he was mercilessly shot. All three of the nobodies were down, a short arrow in each of their chest. Jackie didn't know what to do now. Her captors were shot and she was alone

Several minutes, maybe hours passed. Emptiness and sorrow echoed through the room. No hope until the sound of a musical instrument interrupted the silence. The pressure in the water that surrounded Jackie started to change. Out of nowhere, a crak in the glass formed. The music became louder and more clear. The crack grew steadily bigger.

The musical instrument became recognizable as a sitar. At the entrance of the lab appeared Demyx. The music became louder and louder. The crack in the glass grew and multilied. Demyx walked closer to the glass. A quick strum and the glass shattered. The water flowed around Jackie, just to support her from falling into the broken glass.

The Melodious Nocturine quickly undid all of the wires, tubes and needles on the human guinea pig. She was very weak and silent as all of this happened. Her look of sadness and lost hope did not go away. Demyx messed with a few buttons on the machine next to the pod. After that, he finished taking off all that was hooked up to Jackie. Without a word, he lifted the berserker and carried her in his arms as he dashed out of the lab.

Demyx ran, to where, no one knew. Jackie looked up at her savior. "Why?" she faintly asked.

"Why what?" he asked back.

"Why did you save me? Why are you risking your own existance? You know that your superiors will kill you if when they find me. What would you get in return? Wasn't it obvious I was better left as a lab rat? My friends had the opportunity to save me and they didn't. I have no one to live for and no where to run," she said in such a faint voice that she could barely be heard.

"That's not true. You have a least one thing to live for. I'm saving you because you looked like you needed it. I don't know why I'm doing this, I just am,"

"You shouldn't be carrying me. I'm weighing you down. I can run, you don't have to be doing this,"

"My sitar weighs more than you. You're not a burden," So the nobody kept on running. He was running for a few more minutes until he abruptly stopped. A thwang was heard and he collapsed.

"Demyx, I told you that I would weigh you down. You should have let me run," Jackie said as she crawled from under Demyx. She got up from the ground and tried to help him up. He wouldn't budge, Jackie only managed to turn him over. She let out a gasp as she saw a short arrow stick out of his chest. "Demyx?! Demyx!" she cried. She let out a yelp when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She abruptly turned around only to find herself facing a crossbow.

"I know I've said this to so many people so many times, but I'm sorry," Leah spoke as she shot her last friend in the chest.

"Et tu, Leah? Then let me die," Jackie said as she collapsed next to Demyx. She landed in a way that it looked like she and the Melodious Nocturine were about to embrace each other. His arm was sprawled out, she landed on it and her arm landed on his chest.

"I understand if you never forgive me. At least you won't be going out alone," Leah spoke as she turned away. A white light seeped out of the arrow in the berserker's chest. It twisted and writhed around and it moved up Leah's back. Without even realizing it, the crossbow was jerked out of her arms.

Leah saw a white form holding an adamant crossbow aiming at her chest. A quick thwang and Leah was down. The list clutched in her hand was still visible. The last name on the list was Leah. A note next to her name read: Take out last, but not by own hand

Bonus chapter: Babe Watching

A/N: I just wanted to add this bit down because I Hate the AkuRoku pairing. I wanted to add what Roxas and Axel were doing before they got shot. This was made for my own entertainment and if for some reason you do like it, Hooray! Warning: Contains OoC and lots of it.

Roxas was sitting casually at the top of the clock tower. He was enjoying his veiw of Twilight Town. Axel appeared next to him with two sea salt ice creams. He handed Roxas one as he sat down.

"How about that girl over there?" Axel pointed at a woman near the synthesis shop. Roxas looked at Axel like he was an idiot.

"She's too old for," number thirteen said.

"She's too young for me. That's ironic," Axel responded. "What about the girl over there, at the sandlot?" he pointed out.

"Sher looks like a female Zexion and look who's next to her. I wouldn't want to mess with those thugs. I know I could beat up the one in the belly shirt with ease, but I don't want to go through that much trouble," Roxas scanned the town. "Look at the girl at the flower shop. She's pretty hot,"

"She's not my type, she looks too nice,"

"What about that Leah girl?"

"What about her?"

"She was hot. Don't you agree?"

"I would, but I don't to be called a paedophile,"

"You keep forgetting that the height varies even more for people from Earth than it does to us. She's older than she looks,"

"How old?"

"Only a couple years younger than you,"

"I doubt it. What about that girl over there?" Axel said as he pointed at a girl in the alleyway.

"She looks nice, but again, there are two guys,"

"They don't look threatening,"

"I know that. It's just looks like that girl is dating the blonde in the camo," Roxas scanned the town some more. "There's two women in that alley way over there," he pointed out.

"The one in the purple actually looks datable. Good job Roxas!"

"Thanks. That other woman looks familiar. I think-" Roxas was never able to finish his sentence as he fell to the ground. Axel quickly caught his friend before he fell off the tower. He hoisted the body over the ledge.

"Roxas? Roxas?!" The Flurry of Dancing Flames shook his best friend in hopes that he would wake. "Roxas, wake up!" he frantically said as he started to shake his friend. A misty white portal appeared next to him. Leah walked out of it, her crossbow shaking in her hands. Leah and Axel became wide eyed as they noticed an arrow sticking out of Roxas' chest. Axel tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge.

Leah tried to help Axel out, but the crossbow had other ideas. A white silhouette of Fate held the crossbow. "Shoot him or I'll shoot you off this tower," the silhouette ordered angrily. Leah and Axel looked at each other, then back at Fate.

"Make me!" Leah shouted back.

"Very well then," the silhouette dived into Leah and she lost all control of her body. She suddenly felt herself holding the crossbow at Axel's chest.

"Forgive me," Leah said to Axel as there was a thwang of the adamant weapon. Then silence.

Xejicka: Wow, what a long chapter! I just got a new background on my computer of Organization XIII and Vexen has been staring at me in a scary way (I think he wants to experiment on me like he did with Jackie) while I was typing. So I moved the wordpad window and now I have Demyx happily staring at me.

Thalkxene: Your obsessed with him. I remember when you hated him because of his mullet.

Xejicka: I remember that time. Any way, that ask an OC is still up. You got a question, ask. I can be serious or funny.

Thalkxene: Where the heck is Sephiroth?

Xejicka: I won't tell you now. Reveiw peoples! Thanks for reading.

-misty white portal appears behind Xejicka and Thalkxene, Leah comes out of it with her cross bow ready and she shoots the nobodies in the chest-

Leah: I'm sorry I had to do this, Fate's orders.
