Next chapter. I'm introducing some of the OC's in this. My thanks to Bond Of Flame08, Sabitsuki, Leixym, Zilac and Thaumaturgic Adversary for the great OC's. Oh, and I'm only going to take on two Keyblade wielders max. I forgot to mention that. One appears in this chapter, the other soon.
Anyway, on with the story.
Zexion looked around. He was in a field. A large field. Filled with flowers. Oh, why had Xemnas sent him here? Why not Marluxia? He loved the things.
Flashback
"I have an announcement!" Xemnas called from his throne. Axel snorted.
"Really?" His voice dripped with sarcasm. A bullet from one of Xigbar's guns caused him to stop.
"Thank you, II. Now, firstly I would like to introduce a new member. Caixsa, number XV." A boy stepped forwards on the central platform. Xemnas created a throne, right between Roxas' and Xion's. "Also, I am granting Roxas this week off for finding this new member..."
"What!" Axel shouted, blocking another bullet with his chakrams. "Why not me and Xion?"
"I was going to say that you and Xion had today off for helping, but now you have to work today. Caixsa, you have a week to let you acclimatize to your new surroundings." Axel sank back into his seat, muttering dark curses at Xemnas. Zexion suddenly felt a want for a different throne. "Now, I have heard that there are several Nobodies who have recently been born in various worlds. Zexion, you shall go to Dwarf Woodlands. Xaldin, you shall go to The Land of Dragons, Demyx, you can go to Twilight Town and Marluxia, to Radiant Garden." He looked round. "Saix will have the missions for the rest of you ready. He will meet you in the Grey Room."
End Flashback
"Why was I sent here? It's too...bright."
"You really don't like this field?" A girl who couldn't have been older than eighteen, had appeared next to him. "Our Queen, Snow White, asked for this field to be kept as undisturbed as possible."
"It's not a thing I like." He said. He finally looked at the girl properly. She had black hair, surprisingly like Xion's but for the fringe, chocolate brown eyes and a build like that of a gymnast's. She was about as tall as his shoulders. She wore a white sundress and white and yellow shorts, both stopping around her knees. She had a red jacket with orange sleeves that reached her elbows. She had a red and yellow necklace, though Zexion couldn't make out what the pendant was. She had white shoes with red laces.
"Man, you need to cheer up. Would some sun help?"
"Too much already. And I'm busy." He pushed her away, gently though, but what he felt made him freeze. He couldn't feel any pulse. "In fact, you might be able to help me...what's your name again?"
"I never told you. I'm Maria, Maria Jakins."
"Well then Maria, could I see your wrists?" This trip might not be so bad after all. He thought.
Caixsa looked at the two daggers in his hands. All of a sudden, he yawned, stretching out his arms. I really need more sleep. He thought.
"Hey! Watch it! You nearly hit me!" A girl, a head shorter than Caixsa yelled. She was wearing the Organization outfit. She was a little thin, with slightly tanned skin, blood red eyes, long blond hair styled in a ponytail with a blue tip, bangs on the right of her face that reached her lips and rounded-rectangular glasses.
"Sorry. Hey, are you one of the new members Mansex mentioned?"
"Who?"
"Xemnas. It's an anagram of his name."
"Yeah. I'm Leixym. You?"
"Caixsa."
"Is this the Gym of Joyless Toil?" Another person entered, though it was hard to tell if he or she was a boy or a girl. He, Caixsa decided to use, was even shorter than Leixym, with a girlish face. He had long black hair and brown eyes, but something about him rung as a boy.
"Yeah." Leixym answered. "Hey, are you a boy or a girl?"
"Boy." he said simply. "And I'm twenty two. Hey, someone else is here."
It was in fact two people. The first was a boy, with shaggy green hair, grey eyes and with a tired look on his face. He was about an average height, and looked slightly overweight. The other was a girl. "Hi!" The girl called. "Man, these cloaks are so dull. What do you think?"
"I like then." Caixsa said.
"How can you like them?"
"They suit my mood."
"Are you never happy or something? What could have happened to make you like that?" While the latter question was being asked, Caixsa had hung his head and a dark cloud had started to hover over him. It started to drizzle.
"How did you do that?" the boy asked.
"I can control the weather." came the murmured reply. He looked up. "So what can you do?"
"I have ocean manipulation. Like hydrokinetics, but more powerful."
"I have the power of fairytales." Said the first boy. "My name's Uxye."
"I'm Kraxnf." Said the other boy. "I control metal."
"And I'm Xirama. I control the sun." Said the last. "Watch!" She clicked her fingers and a blinding beam of sunlight poured into the room, half-blinding everyone but Xirama.
"Gah! What is this light?" Caixsa summoned a cloud cover, blocking most of the light. "I believe that this is where I am meant to wait to meet Xemnas, and the new members?"
"That's here!" Xirama called. "Though why anybody would call anything the Gym of Joyless Toil is beyond me."
"I agree with the optimist." Leixym said.
"Hopefully Xemnas won't keep us waiting much longer." Caixsa said. "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name would be Sejox. And that would be Xemnas over there, would it not?"
"Boy, you are formal." the newly dubbed optimist complained.
"Ah, you are all here." Xemnas said in his monotone. "I am please to announce that dinner is ready."
"At four in the afternoon?" Leixym asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Did you really not think that Hawk had a solution to that? He sped up time for you." A shoe hit Xemnas in the middle of the face.
"Who's Hawk?" Kraxnf asked.
"Nobody, and yet he rules over everyone. Try not to insult him."
"Why?"
"Shoe." Xemnas shuddered. "And other things."
"Ok..." Xirama said, confused. "So no breaking the fourth wall?"
"Correct. Now, let us head to the Dining Room of Disaster. By the long route." He was met with several groans.
Xemnas led the six new Nobodies down several corridors. He knocked on a door seemingly at random. "IX! Get out here!"
"Coming!" The door opened and a blond with a hairstyle halfway between a mohawk and a mullet. "What is it Xem?" The blond was surprisingly cheerful.
"For a start, don't call me that. Secondly, give these new members the tour." The blond pouted.
"I have to work?" He asked, suddenly depressed. Xemnas nodded, then stalked off. "Well then..." He turned to the others. "I'm Demyx." he cheered. "Come on then! I'll show you around." He lead us through the maze of corridors, happily taking up a one-sided conversation. It was enough to make most of the others want to hit him over the head, but Uxye was secretly glad to have everyone not paying attention to him.
"So, what are your names?" Demyx asked once they reached the seventieth odd room. Most of the others deadpanned, though Caixsa wasn't too phased.
"I'm Xirama, and these are Caixsa, Uxye, Kraxnf, Leixym and...um..."
"Sejox." The older man said.
"Oh, yeah. I thought I would have to call you the old man."
"Really?" His voice was emotionless, scarily so. Xirama was the only one not to notice.
"Yeah, I mean, you do look about fifty..."
"I'm thirty two."
"Really?" She was knocked out by a large blade, the flat part of which hit her forehead.
"Well f*** me, that was unexpected." She paused. "Censoring? Really?" She was silenced by a shoe in the face. Caixsa sighed, then summoned a rain cloud above Xirama's head, causing her to splutter awake.
"Why did..." She was interrupted by Demyx, who continued talking.
"Anyway, in here are all of the other members of this Organization." He threw open the doors and they were surprised to see everybody skidding about, falling and ending up covered in food. "Yep. That's why it's called the Dining Room of Disaster. Nobody has ever set foot in here and not fallen, slip, skidded or otherwise ending up on the floor for more than five minutes without flying. Current record holder is...him."
"Oh, Zexion." Xirama said when she saw who he was pointing at. "How long for?"
"Three minutes, twenty two seconds." The silverette answered from across the room. He was reading.
"Ok, now then...the one with the eye-patch, currently sitting in a bowl of soup is Xigbar..." Demyx carried on with his list, showing who everyone was. "...is Xion." He finished. "Any questions? No? Good. Now, let's eat!" He wandered into the room, falling after about five seconds. The others followed him, the first to fall already being halfway to the table, that being Sejox. He was soon followed by Xirama, Leixym and Uxye. Only Kraxnf and Caixsa made it all the way to their chairs, although Kraxnf's was the stronger of the two. A hatch opened at the end of the table, and twenty plates of Spaghetti Bolognese flew out, landing neatly in front of each chair.
Caixsa looked at the food and paled. "I-I feel tired." Caixsa said, giving a big yawn. "I'm heading off to my room." He was off down towards the Corridor of Eternal Rest before any of the other Nobodies could say anything.
"The Corridor of Eternal Rest?" Leixym asked incredulously. "What the f***?" She paused. "I'm going to ignore the censoring this time Hawk." She continued, a shoe just missing her head. "Ha! Missed!" A pile of shoes fell on her head. "Oh, s***!" She climbed out of the pile, which turned out to reach halfway to the top of the room.
"So, shall we eat?" Xion asked, getting up from a puddle on the floor. "We need a new dining room." She commented.
"I agree." Xigbar said.
"Very well." Xemnas said. "I shall create a new one tomorrow. Meanwhile, for today we shall make do." He paused. "After dinner, you, Xion, shall check on Caixsa. Now, begin!"
Ten minutes later, Xion was outside Caixsa's room. He was the only new member so far to see his new room. She knocked. "Come in." came a voice through the door. Xion pushed the door and instantly leapt back when a thick bank of fog poured out. She stepped in uncertainly. She noticed that the fog stopped about an inch away from her, forming a bubble. "There's a chair three steps in front of you." She took three steps and nearly fell over the chair. "So what do you want Xion?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"I've learned to memorize footsteps. Yours are almost impossible to hear."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Only Roxas' are quieter. So what did you want?"
"Oh, Xemnas sent me to check on you. Plus it's what friends do."
"You really already consider me a friend?"
"Sure! Now tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing, really. Anyway, could you tell me about something?"
"What about?"
"Well, it's who really. Could you tell me what you know about..."
Ha! Didn't think I'd let you know that information, did you? Anyway, I've chosen most of the OC's, three slots are left. NO MORE KEYBLADE WEILDERS! Here are the profiles for the characters who appeared this chapter.
Name: Xirama
Gender: Female
Age: 17 years 2 months
Home world: Dwarf Woodlands.
Found by: Zexion.
Power: Sun (can make the sun appear, greatly intense the heat of anything. Can use fire, to an extent.)
Mentor: Xion.
Crush: Has a slight crush on Xion, but she thinks that Xion is a boy. Also secretly likes Axel.
Appearance: Xirama has a gymnastic-like body build, and is very agile. She has chocolate brown eyes. She has black hair cut in a boyish style, similar to Xion's only without the fringe. Instead, the fringe parts at the middle and goes either side. She wears a long white sundress that flows to her knees, and she has white shorts underneath that have a yellow outline. She wears a red jacket with orange sleeves that go to her elbows over the sundress. The jacket reaches halfway down her chest. She wears white flat shoes that have red laces, and yellow socks. She has a necklace which has a sun charm hanging from it, and it is colored red and yellow.
Weapon/s: A long, red staff called 'Heaven's Dawn'. It has a golden handle, and is about half of Xirama's height. There is a small sun symbol on the top, and the moon symbol is on it. The staff starts out white, but slowly turns into a rosy red color near the top. She holds it behind her in combat, and prefers to use magic. It has decent strength, although it is best with magic attacks, especially Fire attacks.
Personality: Xirama is a very bright and cheerful person. She likes to encourage people to never give up, and she always follows her dreams. However, she can be a bit too happy at times, and often doesn't listen to other people. Her personality is like the power that she controls; she is always looking on the bright side, although she can get angry quickly.
Likes: The sun, fire, Xion, Axel, Xigbar, Larxene, Marluxia, chocolate, apples, the mountains, exploring, having fun, Gummi Ships, orchestra music, water, Neverland, Twilight Town.
Dislikes: The moon, Siax, Roxas, Zexion, Demyx, boredom, books, Halloween Town, sleeping, animals, cramped spaces, tears, TWTNW.
Somebody's History: Had her World consumed by darkness, but she survived. Waking up in Traverse Town, she was defenseless against a group of Heartless that attacked her, and lost her heart. She woke up in the Dwarf Woodlands again, and met Organization XIII.
Other Things: Because Caixsa dislikes the sun, the two of them try to stay away from each other. She also harbors a deep hatred (and fear) towards Saix, because he controls the moon. She is left handed. She has a fear of cramped spaces. She had a boyfriend before she lost her heart, so she is wary about entering a friendship with any males. She doesn't like the Organization, but stays because of the different Worlds that she gets to visit.
Name: Uxye
Somebody: Yue
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Home world: Land of Dragons
Found by: Xaldin
Power: Fairytales
Mentor: Xaldin
Crush: Saïx.
Appearance: Uxye has long black hair, brown eyes, and is about 5"2. His face is rather feminine looking as well. He wears the normal Org. XIII Uniform, but was found dressed in traditional Chinese woman's clothes.
Weapon/s: Scroll, named Minstrel's Malice. It has a little clasp shaped like the Nobody symbol that keeps it shut when not in use. When he uses it, he can take the form of the antagonist from one of two stories: Little Red Riding Hood, or Hansel and Gretel. So, a wolf or a witch. As a wolf, he cannot use magic, but his physical attack is increased greatly. As a witch, he deals little to no physical damage, but receives an MP boost and more powerful magic.
Personality: He's a peaceful person, and likes to get things done. He is soft-spoken and shy, but will not hesitate to speak up if he really feels the need. Doesn't like being noticed, and is easily intimidated. He's pretty gullible, and is even more easily fooled if it's a friend or someone else he likes.
Likes: Quiet, soft music, the darkness(when it's not filled with Heartless), Saïx (though Uxye really wishes that he was less cold)
Dislikes: Fighting, fire, females(as love interests. he is quite alright with them as friends.), lazy people, loud noises, Demyx.
Somebody's History: Yue was a very pretty boy, and was never quite willing to do what boys are supposed to. He had no interest in local girls, and when the time came for war, he simply dressed up in his sisters clothes and escaped. He then began living his life as a poor girl, raised on a farm. A kind old couple took him in, having no children of their own. His life went on like this, until they wished to find him a husband. He ran away again in the middle of the night, only to be caught by Heartless.
Other Things: He is a crossdresser. He feels pretty much neutral about anyone not already mentioned.
Name: Leixym

Keychain is a growing raindrop
Personality: A fun-loving, energetic, wild, smart, hot-headed, foul-mouthed, and...honesty, a little bit crazy prankster who tries to befriend everyone (who doesn't insult her), Leixym is the never-give-up type (no thanks to Sora, her idol) who loves adventure and exploring, though if it means getting up before 10:30 am, forget it. She acts like Yuki (from Fruits Basket) does in the mornings, and if you manage to get her awake...tell Davy Jones she says 'Hi'.
Likes: Coffee, sugar, water, reading, Demyx, music, family, friends, home, sun, evenings, Zexion
Dislikes: Mornings, jerks, Heartless, and preppy snobs
Somebody's History: Born on Destiny Islands a day before her twin, Irene, the duo hung out with Sora and co. frequently. Everything was fine until the Heartless came. When DI disappeared, the girls were separated, and Ly landed in Port Royal and sailed with pirates till Destiny Islands came back. But while Ly made it back ok, Irene didn't. Desperate to know where her sister was and refusing to think she was dead, Ly followed an Orgy member (cough*Xion*cough) into a portal, landing the Twilight Town. She searched for a few months before a Stealth Sneak got her outside the Old Mansion.
Other Things: Loves caffeine and sugar, but if she has a lot in the morning, she will be REALLY hyper the rest of the day. Any other time is fine, though. Loves going to Atlantica, Neverland, and Halloween Town.
