Okay, I am the WORST procrastinator possibly in the world XD. Anyway, chapter 4 is UP! (I still own nothing…for now anyways)

Alykx blinked twice at his Superior with a perfect deadpan expression. Xemnas appeared to be awaiting some overblown reaction (judging from his evil smile and perfectly laced fingers of evil) but got none. He coughed once, and spoke with almost business like professionalism. "The lady on the left is Ixmina; this guy to my right is-"Alykx almost immediately interrupted, "He left when you introduced Ixmina." Xemnas glanced to his right and coughed again. "Well, uh, this is a bit awkward. Although the guy did look a little *ahem* flaky." The brunette rolled his eyes, and bowed before leaving the room with his new partner.

Ixmina walked without a single sound, and appeared to be staring at the sky while she walked. Alykx thought she was judging by the tilt of her smaller-than-normal hood. It still kept him from seeing her face, which for some reason piqued his curiosity. Another thing was that she made no attempt at conversation whatsoever. It's like she died, he thought, and then immediately stopped in his tracks. "Technically we ARE dead aren't we?" he said aloud accidentally. As soon as he dead he felt the girl's eyes upon him. "Sorry, I have the tendency to do that sometimes," he amended sheepishly. "Don't worry about it," she said in an oddly serene voice. "Aw, my little brother's got a girlfriend!" said an obnoxiously female voice. When he first arrived at the Organization, Alykx had been pleased to actually see his sister after so long. Then he remembered that she was a psychotic bitch and Larxene did her best to make that clear every day. The two younger Nobodies (although not by much) both said perfectly deadpan, "No way, you dumpster-whore." Larxene feigned pain. "Oh, why do you hate me so, brother dearest? What have I done to earn thy scorn?"

"You talked to me when mom was pregnant and tried to give her an abortion with hedge clippers."

"Really?" Ixmina asked, slightly frightened. Neither sibling answered. Larxene laughed slightly. "Well I guess we're even. But new girl has yet to apologize." Her cruel smile was that of a crocodile; always waiting to snatch a deer drinking at the lake. Ixmina said nothing, her line of sight definitely on Larxene. "I have no intention of even looking at you," the new girl said flatly. "It's starting to hurt now." Number twelve kept smiling. "Your hurt is about to begin bitch!" and Larxene performed a perfect kick to Ixmina's torso, sending her back a few feet. The girl clutched at her stomach briefly, then calmly stood back up. Ixmina held her hand above her head; as if on cue, energy the color of fresh leaves swirled around her hands, and left as soon as it came, leaving a naginata of the same tint in its place. Ixmina wielded it in her left hand in her a lazy manner, and flipped of Larxene with the right. The blonde woman smiled even wider, and summoned all eight of her knives in a burst of lightning. Alykx scrunched up his nose upon smelling the ozone, and decided to stay out of the fight.

Ixmina made the first move, leaping directly at Larxene naginata held high above her head. "Predictable little slut," the older woman mocked and back flipped out of the way of her downswing. Ixmina dug her weapon into the ground and pole vaulted at her, and landed directly on Larxene, bringing the agile woman to the ground. She swung it down, but stopped right at XII's neck. Alykx took the pause in their fight to raise a finger. "It's about twelve pages in paperwork in size five Arial font when confronted about the murder of another member." Ixmina tilted her head slightly and stepped off of Larxene. The woman gave a 'humph' before stalking off down the hall. Alykx glared at Ixmina. "You're lucky she went easy on you AND let it go," he growled. The fact even intensifying his irritation was the fact her hood was still up; was her face just as unreadable?

The two had a stare down before Ixmina too stalked off, almost imitating her former opponent's gait. He groaned to himself and sat against the wall, fuming at the gall of the two women. One was psychotic and the other…equally crazy for even fighting the other. Alykx banged his head, hard, against the pristine wall. Then he swore he heard singing down the hall. Probably hit your head too hard, he thought, and then thought again as the singing continued and appeared to come closer. A boy was down the hall, singing to himself seemingly, with a smile on his face. He was shorter than him (and also Roxas for that matter) with a head of perfectly straight chestnut colored hair and hazel eyes, switching almost constantly between light and dark green. His skin had an olive complexion. "All of the thoughts in my head, all of the words you've said, all of this love hurts my heart, after all that will this go on…," he continued, not even noticing Alykx on the floor. When he got right in front of Alykx he actually knelt down in front of him and smiled. This made him notice that the short buy lacked an organization coat; he wore the pants and boots, but instead of the hood he wore a simple black t-shirt. "Hey have you seen a scary guy with an eye patch? He stole my hood." Alykx was instantly confused at the question. "What?"

"I came here 'cause it looked cool and then I saw everyone had a coat like mine, but I guess he didn't like mine or something- he just ripped it off and told me to stay put."

"That's a little weird, even for Xigbar. What's your name?"

"Call me Matthias."

Warning lights instantly went off in Alykx's head and he grabbed the boy by the wrist. Matthias appeared slightly concerned, but his expression was still light-hearted. "Who are you really and why are you here? More importantly, how are you here?" Matthias laughed, and with shocking strength flipped Alykx over his shoulder and pinned him to the ground. 'It's a secret," he said teasingly. Alykx turned to smoke and flew behind the boy, knives at the ready. The brunette still had yet to figure out who the kid was and how he was here, but regardless of the innocent composure of the child, information was always needed before finding an answer. The boy still sat on the floor, and looked up and down at Alykx. "Oh, you can do that? Man, the powers some of us get are lame compared to some others."

"Are you one too?"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Then why are you here?" Alykx asked again behind gritted teeth.

"I told you, its top secret."

"THAT DOES IT!"

Matthias was now truly frightened at the ball of rage that was on a crash course directly to him. At the last second before impact, he stepped to the side and grabbed Alykx by his right arm. In an almost too perfect maneuver, Matthias did a classic aikido omote, then flipped Alykx once more to the floor but made no attempt to pin him. "You know, I just beat up some guy with a mullet and a British guy- wait a second, do you people have a 'no visitors' policy?"

"Why are you here!"

"I don't know! All Maleficent told me was-"before he could let out anymore information his apparently stressed mind couldn't seem to contain, he threw a hand over his lips. Then, his eyes glanced somewhere behind Alykx and then he went flying straight into the wall. He coughed sharply, but whatever was pushing him into the wall showed no mercy. Finally, the boy slumped to the floor. Behind Alykx stood a not so friendly face. "I truly must find better minions now a day. Apparently that green witch has." Xemnas took the struggling boy by the back of his shirt and glared into his eyes. "Now would you like to be tortured for information or killed for trespassing?"

"Can you do worse than Maleficent?"

"That depends- how bad is she?"

Matthias was, shockingly, released by Xemnas. "Bad as in' she'll keep you, but you don't get pay and abuse is very frequent'. She takes certain, um, zeal in the latter." Xemnas gave Matthias a cold stare, and the boy braced himself for what he knew was coming. The leader of the Organization raised a hand, gathering a large amount of energy. Instead of wisely choosing death, Matthias rolled to the side, and vanished into a dark corridor. "Meeting," Xemnas seethed,"Now. And if so much as hear anything non-related to the issue at hand, I won't vaporize you." With that, Xemnas walked down the hall, leaving Alykx to wonder what he might do.

Everyone was present save for Vexen, Luxord, and Demyx, and Alykx finally had a chance to meet the other partner of his, named Jyxa. He had blond, had odd sea green eyes, and was as Xemnas said 'flaky'. The boy seemed to be about fifteen, and like Ixmina stared off into space, although the latter seemed to do so and be slightly somewhat focused. Xemnas began angrily, not even waiting for someone to make the critical error of uttering something nonsensical. "I'd like to ask how in the hell one of Maleficent's servants was able to infiltrate a castle held by some of the most powerful non-beings in the universe, managed to somehow incapacitate two of its members without the others noticing, and most importantly escape alive!" No one spoke for a time, until Xaldin broke the silence. "Superior, it's possible that he simply used a corridor of darkness to enter. You know, as do the rest of us, that Demyx is not the best fighter, and Luxord was most likely drunk, which would explain why my Midori vodka is suddenly missing, but the point remains that no one without skill could've gotten in."

"Xaldin, we all know that's pretty goddamn obvious!"

"All I'm saying is that the perpetrator in question not only had the power of darkness, but also training in combat, which means he'd need someone to give him both. Maleficent can absolutely give one, but the latter is most likely someone else."

"Xaldin, you still have yet to make any sense."

"The boy was given his powers by Maleficent and skills in combat by another. The question should not concern the tool, but the hand."

"So you mean to investigate whether or not the witch is in league with someone of reputable talent, enough that she'd consider allowing him to train certain servants of her choosing."

"Pete's obviously out of the question, so yes, I guess I am."

Xemnas nodded once then turned his attention to the others. "When Demyx is pulled from unconsciousness, tell him to head directly to Hollow bastion on reconnaissance. Axel, you and Roxas will follow; leave no pebble unturned. Xaldin, return to Beast's Castle and this time, come back with Gaston- I require a few words with him. Larxene and Zexion, head directly to the land of dragons and at least try to bring back something from the Imperial treasury; my desk requires a paperweight. Alykx, you'll lead Jyxa and Ixmina to Agrabah and find information for the current whereabouts of Jafar, because I know that bastard is still alive. Marluxia, I want a captain in Port Royal dead, and do not make the mistake of asking why right now. Saix, go to Twilight Town for supplies. And Lexaeus go to the Coliseum and try to sabotage the games there. Get out." The underlings did as bidden, leaving their leader to deal with his anger.

Matthias never liked Maleficent's sense of interior decorating. It wasn't the color seeping hopelessness or the furniture that hardly seemed comfortable; it was how she allowed the Heartless inside as decoration. They were everywhere and nowhere at once and it only slightly disturbed him. Currently, he was leaning against a violet couch's arm, awaiting his master's presence. He stared into the ominous green fire, thinking of how some of the others fared on their duties. Each was his close friend, and he took an odd joy that Maleficent didn't kill any of them- she thought it inefficient to kill of her free help. He had washed out the chestnut colored hair dye another one of his colleagues, Gale, had slipped into his hair at night revealing its natural golden blond color. He truly did like her, but if he said, there was every possibility Maleficent could find out, if she didn't already know. Lord knows what she could do other than kill us, he thought grimly. The maple door, etched with demonic images, creaked open. The heavy footsteps gave their owner way, and Matthias groaned as Pete walked in on the room. "So, you failed your mission eh, pipsqueak?"

"I've failed a lot less times than you have."

"Well, I get the small jobs, you see, but you seemed to have blown it on something big this time!"

"I think it's funny that you don't even know what the job was."

"So what was it then tiny? Was it something big enough for a private conference with her Highness?"

"It's big enough for you to not know about it."

"Smart mouthed little brat! Just you wait 'til Maleficent isn't looking, I'll give you a bit of my real power."

"Oh, how frightening! Think I might piss myself from the idea of you doing more than standing around and talking."

Pete's mouth opened and clamped shut as the door opened once more. This time, the queen of darkness herself entered, and judging from her Majesty's expression, Matthias was in for a world of hurt. "Now, would you care to tell me exactly why you didn't come back with my…specific items of interest?"

"It was nowhere to be found my lady. The room was hidden well, and I was compromised before I could find it."

"I gave you a disguise, your power, and your skills. Yet, still you report back with failure."

"Xemnas himself interfered, and I managed to incapacitate two of the members."

"Silence! Two out of thirteen is not good odds whatsoever. The only reason I have not yet tortured you is because I require you to do another thing for me."

"I am at your service my lady."

"Good. Now, I require you to make contact with Jafar in Agrabah. He's been defeated, again, and sealed within a lamp. The Heartless have acquiesced his location; you will follow them, free Jafar, and give him my orders."

"What are they, my lady?"

"Tell him that if he fails to conquer the world which I tasked him with this time, he can consider our alliance…terminated. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Do not fail me this time; I have no doubt Xemnas knows he still lives, and if so, he will have already sent a team to find and kill him."

"I will leave immediately."

Okay, next chapter spoiler- Xion finally decides to pop out of nowhere! Anyway, I would like to thank anyone who has decided to read this story. You make writing this fanfic much more exciting. Tchuss!
