Author's Note
Due to some negative reviews and the popularity of one of my other stories I've been procrastinating the development of the other stories so here is my latest one for the Kingdom Hearts fic, enjoy.
Mission
Flashback
Light Yagami was floating in a place that was completely blank. A place where he wasn't aware of which way was north or south, east or west and, as far as he could figure, he had no form. All of it was nothingness. After he was finally defeated by Near, the shinigami, Ryuk, was the last resort for Light to beat Near. But Ryuk betrayed him and wrote his name in the Death Note and sent Light to his doom as he could no longer provide Ryuk with entertainment. Light knew that Ryuk would ultimately write his name in the Death Note, but he figured that it wouldn't be until around his natural lifespan.
"Where am I?" Light thought, "Is this the world that Ryuk told me about?"
Light couldn't even perceive how long he was there for, it was truly a void realm. "Am I to remain here for eternity?" Light screamed in his thoughts. Even Hell would be an improvement, so long as there was something.
"No… no, this can't be! I was going to be God of the new world, I cleansed the world of all its criminals, turned my world into a perfect haven of peace and order! Is this where I have to spend the rest of eternity!"
Hate them.
"…Who's there… where are you?" Light responded to a lilting voice that came from nowhere yet seemed like a presence was everywhere.
Despise them.
"What are you…"
Your offered them peace and salvation, and what is the reward you get? An eternity of endless nothingness, such a cruel fate for one such as yourself. I, however, commend your efforts in your endeavor.
"Who are you? What do you know?"
I know everything about you, about your previous life, the Death Note, and Kira. I also know that your destiny doesn't have to end here.
"W-What?"
You are destined for greater things, you still have the power to become a God of the new era. I offer you power and revenge on those who wronged you.
"Revenge?"
Yes, my plan for a new world is much more complex. Why take a filthy, old world, clean it up and decorate it when it will only become filthy again. They despised you, mocked you, they were only keeping their tongues because you had power. When you lost that power, you were betrayed and struck down like a hated pariah.
"Yes, your right."
If not then, it would have been any other moment when the humans started to rebel against you. Such is the flaw of their reason and emotions.
Light was listening to this voice and he realized it was right. Light would forever have to fight against the Kira investigations as there will always be sparks of rebellion. It started with L, then Mello and Near, no matter what happened, someone would always oppose Kira which would only make more cracks on his perfect world.
What I plan to do is the very thing you set out to do those many years ago. I will break down this entire universe and cast it into oblivion. And from the ashes of the remnants, a new universe will be born of our image. One that will never have chaos, a perfect utopia of order that will last forever.
"Yes."
In order to do that, I need you. Not only do I offer you a second chance and a way out of this endless abyss, I can give you the power-
"Yes."
-the vision-
"Yes!"
-among all that, I give you a place as one of the Gods that will rule by my side. This is your true destiny, your power. Cast off your useless emotions, they will only hinder you, accept my hand and bear my flag and symbol.
"Yes! YES! I will accept your patronage! I will fight for your cause and destroy the current universe! I will help you to create a new world!"
Then fight for me, take up the title of the Whirlwind Lancer, leave behind your old identity, and fulfill your duty! Your new name shall be Raxik!
"YES!"
Light's essence was taken and transported in a flash of darkness.
End Flashback… (It was originally Oxtari, but that didn't seem menacing enough and it sounded stupid, so it's now an anagram of Kira)
Raxik was inside a room with a giant window that gave a vast view of the sky with its stars, looking out into space with his hood up. He smiled when remembering the time he was scouted by his new master and was grateful for his liberation from the nightmare the world that the shinigami's called "Mu". Taroxiek, with his hood down and losing the glasses, walked up to Raxik.
"You're a fool! You gave away too much information to the Keyblade wielders," Raxik said in a furious voice.
"Oh, quit your bitching Raxik," Taroxiek retorted.
"How vulgar can you possibly be? Why not just give them our entire plan or our location while you were there?"
"Calm down, it's not like it would matter either way. The restoration process is too far along, they won't be able to stop Lord Xehanort."
"You are a complete imbecile. The fact that they know about Lord Xehanort and about us is cause for concern. Now they know who to target."
"Well yeah, if they didn't know who the target was, they couldn't fight us. If they didn't fight us, well where's the fun in that?"
"You do nothing but infuriate me. What could the power of the moon possibly see in you?" Raxik was calm on the outside, but he had an evil glare under his hood. A gale engulfed him and blew off his hood, revealing the face of Light Yagami.
"Oh? Is this your declaration of a challenge?" Taroxiek had a twisted smile on his face as he made a swipe of his hand to materialize his weapon. At the same time, Raxik summoned six smaller whirlwinds which condensed themselves into six lances, two of which he grabbed while the rest floated on the wind. Taroxiek charged at Raxik and swung his sword while Raxik used the wind to fly out of the way and counter with one of the floating spears. Taroxiek parried the spear and leapt out of the way of another. Raxik, now on ground level but still floating, threw four of his spears that were charged with wind propulsion to make them faster than a bullet. Taroxiek took his sword and countered by striking the ground to make a huge explosion.
Raxik grabbed another spear with his free hand and charge at Taroxiek in the small window that the explosion subsided and Taroxiek's sight was clouded by the dust. Taroxiek knew what was coming and took his sword to ready a vertical swing.
*CLANG*
Suddenly, a shorter figure wearing the same cloak used a pink and green scythe to hold back Taroxiek's sword from behind while two red chakrams, ring-like weapons, hit one of Raxik's spears while the other was aimed at his face. To which Raxik blocked, afterwords the chakrams returned to their owner of another figure in a cloak roughly the same size as the one with the scythe.
"Do you how pathetic it is for comrades to fight eachother," the one with the chakrams said.
"Hello Flurry of Dancing Flames," Taroxiek greeted. "Graceful Assasin's Blade. This is some welcoming party."
Enough of your mindless bickering! Nothing has changed, the plan will move forward.
The members of the Proofs cocked their heads for a short second at the voice and kneeled where they were. "I'm sorry, my lord, for showing you such a disdainful part of myself," Raxik apologized immediately, although he was an empty being one can never rid themselves of the feeling of self preservation and therefore fear remained constant. "But in my defense, Taroxiek was foolish enough to just give away so much information on our existence! Taroxiek can't go unpunished!"
I do not condone what Taroxiek did, and I'll deal with it at a later time. But we can't dwell on what's already happened, I didn't expect everything to go exactly as I envisioned anyway. I do believe that some of your mistakes were made when you didn't keep a clear enough mind, isn't that right Raxik?
Raxik didn't respond, he knew that the emotions of his past self had gotten a bad situation to become worse before and upon retrospect he was ashamed of it.
Do think of it in a different light, now that the Keyblade masters have someone to label as a target, they have a drive to find us and they can be better manipulated to that end. Keep your patience and turn any disadvantage into an advantage; that is the way to properly plan. In the mean time, attend to your designated missions. Taroxiek, one your brethren is about to be born, go see to him.
Taroxiek nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, Master Xehanort." With that, the Proofs of Existence vanished in the darkness, with the exception of one.
"My lord, about my mission," the remaining Proof began.
Go on, I was just about to ask for your update, my Graceful Assassin.
"On that matter, the schedule can be pushed ahead. They are planning to transport it earlier than expected," the Graceful Assassin's Blade informed. A faint smirk could be seen through his hood, "I've been able to create unrest from within and I'm pretty much in control of the security."
How much time until it arrives?
"By that world's time, in just under a month."
Excellent, this is wonderful news. I want you to discreetly keep an eye on things and have everything ready for my glorious revival.
And with that, the last Proof vanished to his mission leaving a satisfied Xehanort. So the warriors of the Keyblades are aware of my existence. No matter, I welcome the challenge. Nothing will stand in my way and they too shall know the futility of their activities. I'm waiting, Sora, Riku, and Kairi.
…Back at the Hinata House…
The repairs were finished on the Imperial and Sora, Riku, and Kairi were about to leave. All the residents of the dormitory were in complete shock of what had transpired a week ago. Naru, especially, took it the worst. If she wasn't in her bedroom she was just sitting at the dinner table. The rest tried to get back to their schedules in light of everything, until it came the time when Sora and his team would leave.
Everyone was gathered in the back, it was Shinobu that stepped forward. "Good luck on your journey," she said.
"The Heartless and Nobodies are nowhere to be found," Motoko said, "I think we'll be alright from here on out."
Kitsune had her arms crossed and said "Give those Proof guys a good ass-kicking."
"Kitsune, you do know Keitaro-sempai is part of that group now, right!" Shinobu blurted.
Naru walked passed them to address Sora, "Is… is there a way we can get Keitaro back?"
"Definitely, there is a way and we'll find it," Sora said brightly.
Riku looked at Sora, "Sora, do you really think there's a way?"
"You shouldn't go saying stuff like that to get people's hopes up like that," Kairi said.
"No guys, it's true," Sora answered. "In fact, you're looking at the evidence. Remember guys?"
"Of course!" Riku and Kairi said in unison, figuring out what Sora meant.
"Right, I was turned into a Heartless once and Roxas was my Nobody. Kairi, you lost your heart and Namine was your Nobody. And Riku, you were possessed by Ansem the Heartless and you were turned into a Heartless. We all split into those things and we were able to become whole again. We just need to figure out how to do it with other Nobodies and Heartless."
A breeze of relief swept over the tenants of Hinata House and Shinobu broke out crying in relief. "So there is hope, I'm so glad," Shinobu's word were spoken through her sobs.
"Thank goodness," Naru sighed.
"Wait," Riku interrupted, "That being the case."
"What, Riku?" Kairi asked.
"I was turned into a Heartless and yet, we haven't encountered my Nobody."
Silence swept over the group as they contemplated where Riku's Nobody was or who it sided with now. Eventually, they put the case to bed, waved goodbye to the Hinata House tenants, and blasted off in the Imperial to their next destination.
