Here are the next two chapters. Sorry about the wait everyone. Destiny had a lot going on in her life.

I sighed I as saw Demyx and Leixym's hands hit the barrier. It hadn't worked.

I returned my sword, a sword that was given to me by a very old friend of mine, back into it's scabbard on my back. The sword wasn't magic (well, mostly), but the scabbard certainly was. It was completely invisible, and anything put in it also became that.

I fell to the ground, probably stabbed by eye-daggers from Luxkls and Clairex, and Destiny ran over.

"Hawk? Are you okay?" She asked.

"It didn't work." I sighed. "We tried so hard, and it just didn't work."

"We can try something else, Hawk. No worries. Come on." She pulled me to my feet. "Come with me to my office. But tell your guys to go." She added at the end.

We sent our groups of Organization members back to the respective castles, then she led me to her planning office.

I noticed her sword. "What's that?"

"My light-sword." Came the reply. "My friend made it for me."

"Really?"

"Yeah. But... She's... Well, I haven't seen her in ages." I felt that there was more to it than that, but didn't pursue the feeling. I knew very well that sometimes people preferred not having to remember some things. I really should know... That friend...

"How do you hold it? I mean, backhanded or what?"

"Backhanded. It's better for slashing, my personal tactic." I have to agree with her. Holding a sword backhanded is good for slashing, but it also helps with blocking and stabbing, as well as being much easier to move with. Hence why I used the same method.

I didn't say anything, so she pulled out a book. I glimpsed the title, Pandora Bocks, before she pushed it towards me. "Check this out." I read quickly, taking off my blindfold for the task.

'The swapping of characters has a very delicate process. There must be a character on each side, and, with that, the two doing the swapping being on each end. Each character is swapped for another, and when they go back, the swapping must be done with the same pairs.'

Made perfect sense.

"So we have to figure out who was swapped for who?"

"Yep. And, Axel pointed out to me this. See? Someone did this. I don't know who, but someone did."

"Two someones. At the least. See? Right here." I pointed at the passage, right where it said just that, in a round-about sort of way...

"Huh. Yeah." Judging from the face palm, I was willing to guess that she missed it.

"But we're still no closer to how to get our members back than before."

"Well, let's try to figure this out somewhat. All the members appeared in one place, so, I don't know, but maybe you..."

"Xenri was in Texsh's room!" I shouted, remembering how she had landed curled next to the Texan.

She blinked. "Um, Texsh wasn't swapped."

"No, I mean, Korrax sleeps with Texsh!" Her eyes widened. "No! I didn't mean it like that!" She burst out laughing as I spluttered slightly.

She smiled and put a hand on my shoulder. "Oh, Hawk… you just don't understand anything. C'mon. Let's get going."

"Where?"

"Your place? I wanna talk to Xenri." She told me.

"Oh. Of course. Let's go."

We returned to the Nobodies Forgotten canon, landing in the Grey Area, facing the huge window. Destiny turned, and cursed loudly.

I turned as well, to see three figures in Organization cloaks. I recognized two of them, one especially. They removed their hoods to reveal their faces. The third took me about half a second to realise, but I knew that they were Coerixn, Xager and Savtixan.

"Hello, Love Birds."

I wasn't surprised when Destiny screamed. "We are NOT dating!" She was still holding her sword.

"What are you three doing here?" Seriously, they were in the Soundless Prison. Soon to be eliminated. "And you..." I pointed at Savtixan. "... How did you get here?"

"Destiny destroyed me, she cast me out of her dimension. Like you, we belong nowhere. We can go anywhere."

"You… you swapped our characters? But why?" Destiny asked. She was practically radiating anger.

Savtixan grinned. "Well..." I summoned a window behind him and caused a flash of lightning. I was hoping to hit him, but it didn't quite work out. "... It's part of our evil plan!" Xager quickly silenced the red-haired Nobody. Savtixan may be a cruel, evil and sadistic villain, but sometimes he was just a pain.

"Why did you make him?" I asked, feeling annoyed as I asked myself the same thing about Coerixn.

"Don't ask, don't tell." Her face was growing paler.

"This doesn't concern you." Coerixn hissed. "Just know that you two will die. Right here and now!"

Savtixan charged at Destiny, a black knife in his hand, which she block, swiping as Coerixn ran at her. She dodged back, and he carried on towards me. I didn't bother with drawing my sword, instead ducking and weaving as he punched, knowing his fighting style well enough to do it blindfolded. Like I was then.

"You know, I based you of someone I used to know." I told him, ducking to the left before jumping back as he relentlessly attacked. "A bully. Cruel, evil..." I ducked and hit him in the stomach, winding him, before slamming two fingers into the base of his skull. "... And remarkably dimwitted."

As I continued to dodge the now weakened attacks, I was shocked when I heard Destiny shouting at me to watch out, before she barreled into me.

I turned as I landed, my blindfold falling as I sending a kick at Savtixan's shin before seeing Xager slam Destiny into the wall by her throat, her sword falling to the ground as her bladder emptied.

I suddenly found I had potential blackmail material.

Xager was saying something to her, but I couldn't tell what either was saying. I was too busy trying to avoid Coerixn, Savtixan steaming, but staying out of the way of The Chaotic Fists.

I flinched as Destiny screamed, but recovered quickly enough to kick Coerixn somewhere very painful. Hey, I never said that I would fight fairly. They certainly weren't.

I shouted Destiny's name as I saw her pass out, deeming it time to pull out my sword.

The blade behind me, I ran at Savtixan, him startled at the sudden appearance of the weapon. After all, to anyone watching it would seem like it came out of nowhere.

He quickly made a gesture with his hand, summoning a veil of shadows around himself, Xager and the still writhing Coerixn, before they disappeared.

"NO!" I yelled, slashing where he'd been just seconds before.

I heard a groan, and saw Destiny lying there, blood leaking from her head and arms twisted out of place.

Gathering my wits, I sent out a message. "Maylenex, Roxas, Xion and anyone else who may know any sort of healing magic, come to the Grey Area RIGHT NOW!" I yelled the last two words, and the three I asked for thankfully arrived right then. "Destiny needs help. I'll explain later." The three nodded, leaving any joking until after it all happened.

Bum, bum, BUM!
