A/N: Chapter says it all. First part is base off the fanfic Xion's Story. Her personality now is base off the Xion from Xion's Opinion series (but it won't last long *wink*) This was originally suppose to be one huge chapter but I decided to split it due to my cursed laziness. Anyway, I'm gonna take break from this story to work on my other one (don't worry, it won't be for long). See ya. Oh, before I forget: Kairi + X = ?... Fire away readers :)
Warning: Remember to read my profile before reviewing X(
Hint (read a/n in chapter 3): Kairi gets her missions from Leon in Hollow Bastion...
THE RENEWED XION
Day 181
Realm Between – Crossroads of Light and Darkness
With each step, the girl was remembering her life (save her name for now) as a "replica" and the events that led her here, that all came to one conclusion.
"Am I a Nobody now? Definitely feels different than when I was a Replica."
She grumbled as she wondered that the hell happened that made her into a Nobody to begin with.
"Well, walking around in circle in this whirly haze isn't gonna help- huh? Who's that?"
A portal opened up several yards in front of her. A hooded figure emerged from it and slowly walked towards her. As the figure stopped, the girl backed away.
"Ah so it's true. You really have become a Nobody." he said.
Not knowing that has come over her, the girl replied, "How do you know about that?"
The hooded figure frowned at her, "If you haven't noticed the way the Heartless are ignoring you, then I pity you."
The girl scowled at that, "Of course I noticed! And besides, last I checked, Nobodies can't feel, so there's just no way you can't pity me!"
The figure was surprised, "You have your memories as well."
"Save my name…" the girl grumbled to herself.
"I see."
"Who the hell are you anyway? I swear your voice sound familiar."
"Interesting…" the figure thought as he removed his hood, "So she's not an emotionless doll anymore. Quite the personality change."
Xion frowned, then gasped as she recognized those amber eyes and his face.
"Xemnas… the Superior." she moaned, knowing that she was screwed.
"That's right." he grinned, "I see you remember me. Now, do you remember your name?"
"My name?" Xion shook her head, "I still don't remember, even after seeing your face. I remember everything else, but I just don't remember."
"…Perhaps I'll tell you, on one condition…"
"…Huh? What condition is that?"
"I'll tell you our true name, if you agree to return to the Organization."
"What?" cried the girl. That's the last thing she wanted. Last she remembered, despite having a number, she was never a part of the Organization.
"And this time," Xemnas continued, "Are you willing to obey me and the Organization, ready to follow us until your death, carrying out your daily duties faithfully, no matter what they may be?"
The girl scowled as she backed away slowly, "And if I say no to that?"
"You have no choice," he said simply, "You belong to us. Now, and forever."
The girl thought about it, then, "No deal."
She turned and walked away, only to find herself staring at the end of a blight red blade.
"Wrong answer."
With that, Xemnas attacked. The girl squeaked and scrabbled away, dodging most of his blade attacks.
"Why do you want me in your Organization so badly?" she screamed as she ducked a decapitating sword swing.
"Irrelevant." he said, thrusting his blade forward, knocking the girl back.
Advancing on her, he raised his blade high, ready to end her meaningless existence.
"I gave you a chance, and now…"
He bought his blade down on the girl, who covered her head in defense, praying for someone, or something, to save her.
Prayer answered, a metallic key-like object appeared and blocked Xemnas' strike, making him recoil and jump back.
The girl blinked, before recognizing the key-shaped sword.
"The Keyblade? …So my memories… are real?"
Without hesitation, she grabbed it and examined it.
"A key that can bring ruin or hope, depending on the user… The Kingdom Key Keyblade... Well, better than nothing."
"As you can see…"
The girl jumped. She almost forgotten about the Superior, who was now heading towards her, blade pointed at her.
"…That Keyblade is the proof of your memories. Now will you come back to us?"
He pointed the blade at her, but to his surprise, she knocked the blade out of her face with her Keyblade and glared at Xemnas.
"There's no need to use force on me to return boss." she said, "I'll return, as long as Roxas, Axel, and my sister are still there."
Xemnas smirked as he dispelled his blade, "Fair enough."
Satisfied, he opened a Corridor of Darkness for them to go back to The World That Never Was.
"Welcome home… Xion I."
The girl blinked as an onslaught of memories washed over her.
Xemnas looked concerned, "Is something wrong Xion I?"
Xion narrowed her eyes at him, "…With all due respect Superior, I'm no longer Xion I. I'm a Nobody now."
"…"
"The name… is Xion."
With that, she walked ahead of the Superior and into the dark portal.
Hollow Bastion
"She's coming to!"
Kairi opened her eyes to find herself in her bedroom in her guardian's house, lying on her bed
"What's happened?" she asked groggily.
"You gave us a right good scare there girl." said Hollow Bastion's resident mechanic Cid Highwind, "Luckily, Aerith and Merlin managed to fix you back up in a jif."
Kairi shook her head, then remembered, "Beast! Where's Beast?"
"He went back to his world with that girl Belle." said the governor of Hollow Bastion, Leon, "Don't worry, she's alright, thanks to you."
"That's good…" Kairi said, lying back on her bed.
"After I freed the Princess's Hearts, I managed to defeat Ansem with my friends, then-"
She suddenly remembered before she blacked out from the pain, as tears fell from her eyes.
"Sora… Riku…"
Castle That Never Was – The Grey Area
Xion II (a/n: now Xion Replica) was slump on the sofa in the room. Ever since her older sister disappeared two days ago, she's been lounging about lazily after her missions, like she was waiting for something. In truth, she was hoping that any day now, her sister would come walking back through that dark portal that is always active in the room.
As she was listening to Demyx strumming his sitar and Roxas and Axel bickering, her ears perked up as the Corridor or Darkness flared to life in the room.
"Give it up lil' Xion." Demyx grumbled, "Who knows what happened to your sis…"
"Looks lie you're eating your own words Demyx." said Axel as he motioned towards the portal.
Demyx turned to see Xion Replica running towards the figure who just stepped out of the portal.
"No way…" Demyx gaped in disbelief.
"Sis!"
Xion Replica gave her sister a bone-crushing hug.
"Ow ow ow! I'm alright!" Xion managed to pry her twin off her, "Are you."
"Yep!" Xion Replica nodded.
"That's good." said Xion as Roxas came over.
"You gave me and Axel quite the fight…" Roxas grinned, "He wants a rematch, despite us winning."
"Anytime." Xion winked, "Now if you'll excuse me…"
Watching the happy reunion in the corner was Xigbar, who was twirling his guns around.
"Big poppet's a Nobody now eh? As if. Still doesn't mean she's now one of us, but the next few days should be interesting."
Castle That Never Was – Alter of Naught
"Superior…"
"…"
"Is this truly wise, bringing that puppet back-"
"Saix, our goal remains the same, and we cannot afford to let a Keyblader slip though our gasp."
"But sir-"
"And also, have the two girls share the title of Number XIV. I have a feeling that a new Number XV is on the horizon."
Day 185
Castle That Never Was – The Grey Area
"Alright puppy, give me a mission."
"Watch your tongue XIV. Just because-"
Xion yawned in Saix's face, "Less talking, more mission sir."
"You little-"
"Enough."
Xion and Saix turned to see the Superior, who was walking toward them.
"Superior." Saix bowed.
"Hi boss." Xion smiled brightly.
Xemnas nodded to her, "Number XIV."
Turning to Saix, he said "I give her the mission."
Saix nodded, then walked over to Marluxia and Larxene to give them their mission.
"Number XIV Xion…" Xemnas began, "Your mission takes place in Twilight Town. You'll be partnering up with Axel, Roxas, and your twin."
"Huh?" Xion was baffled, "What's with all the firepower?"
"This mission is of the upmost importance. In short… a rescue mission. Inside the mansion on the outskirts of Twilight Town, lies two Nobodies."
"Are they special?"
"…You have no idea. Prepare to move out."
Xion nodded and went over to her teammate for the mission.
"So what's the plan?" asked Roxas.
"Simple, go get it mesmerized." Axel said, "Get in, get the ladies, get out."
Xion smirked, "Perv."
"How am I a pervert?"
Roxas, Xion, and Xion Replica laughed at that.
"If you all finished your false show emotion, you should get moving now."
Xion didn't need to turn around to know who was speaking, "Oh shut up Saix. You're such a party pooper, if you know what that means."
Laughing at an infuriated Saix, Xion and her twin walked over to the Moggle to buy some supplies.
"I have to admit," Axel said, "This Xion is much cooler than the last."
"Only because she acts like your type now." Roxas teased them.
Five days after coming back, it's been true. Ever since Xion came back as a Nobody she was no longer shy or lonely looking. She was upbeat, hyperactive, charming, sarcastic, and quite annoying. Her days now consist of waking up for breakfast, sparring in the training room, doing missions, eating ice-cream in Twilight Town, heading back to read in the library, and going to sleep after dinner. Her hobbies now include being annoying, pulling pranks on others, hanging out with Roxas and Xion Replica, reading a lot, and train nonstop.
Her sister is still the same, but has been maturing slowly.
After they finished preparing, Xion and her team stood in front of Xemnas, readying to go to Twilight Town.
"Now it must warn you all," Xemnas said, "The Twilight Town you're going to is different than the one you're used to. According to Saix, who did recon, someone has created a digital copy of the original Twilight Town. For what, we do not know yet, but I suspect the one who created it is the one holding the Nobody's prisoner for his own end. Find the girls and bring them in… alive."
"Got it boss." Xion confirmed.
"We got this." Axel assured the Superior.
Roxas and Xion Replica nodded.
With that, Xemnas opened a Corridor of Darkness.
"Good luck…"
