Chapter II: Shinra Returns-Hojo of Shinra
Test tubes and examination tables; gauges and knobs, anything and everything that made up a laboratory was inside Shinra's Science Division, which was moved here to Twilight Town from Radiant Garden. It's leading scientist was a man named Hojo, a madman who tried everything in his power to succeed the two men that came before him: Professor Gast, creator of the greatest hero of all time and Ansem the Wise, the genius who created the Heartless theory and who brought in the Gummi Ship system; he had big shoes to fill.
Hojo took it upon himself to advance Ansem's research on the Heartless, so much that he began experimenting with them, using the accident the man and his 6 apprentices caused as a base as well as Gast's Jenova theory; which had allowed him to create unspeakable things.
As he walked around, the door to the lab slid open and Vexen came inside in a huff, while, to his surprise, the black dog he had seen earlier walked inside, through what seemed a black portal.
"What's going on?" the scientist added in a huff "I thought you weren't going to release these things here"
"Calm yourself Vexen, it is merely a small exercise, no one will notice, after all, they are merely animals" Hojo added with a psychotic smile "Well? How did it go?" he asked the aforementioned animal who opted to lie down and lick his paw.
"I'm famished…" he admitted, "We were…stopped right in the middle of feeding…"
"What?" the man asked surprised.
"Well now, didn't you know?" Vexen smiled cheekily, Hojo's mistakes amused him "Apparently there's someone here capable of killing your pets…"
"Impossible! Only someone with the same power can destroy the Heartless! Who dares?" he yelled, feelings of inadequacy filling him.
"It seems he's a detective, I've seen him frequently in a small café…he wields magic Hojo…" the scientist stopped in his tracks and smiled devilishly.
"Magic you say?" Vexen nodded.
"He seems to posses similar traits to me…" he added as-a-matter-of-factly.
"What?!" the man screeched "What do you mean?"
"Please keep it down…" the black hound whined.
"Only Lexaeus, Xaldin, Xigbar and I were…resurrected by you Hojo…Xehanort was never himself again…as for Ienzo…well…" the man smirked, amused as how his 'creator' fumed.
The six apprentices of Ansem had been killed in a lab explosion after the lead apprentice, Xehanort, had gone mad with power. All that remained of him was half his upper-body and his head, kept alive by Hojo. Four of the other's were resurrected and given new names, and to separate them from their original selves, Hojo called them Nobodies, because they were made from people who in reality did not exist anymore, the fifth member was never found though.
"So, you're telling me someone out there is destroying my creations?" Hojo asked.
"Not because they want to, Hojo, but because you're putting the town in danger, this…Zexion…has dedicated his life to protecting the town from the paranormal, read the newspapers once in a while, they're very informative" Vexen berated.
"Silence! Leave my sight, both of you! I need to think…" the man left toward another door, into his office, while both of them seemed to grin widely.
"I believe that went well, don't you?" the hound said.
"Yes, it is always refreshing to see the man won't amount to much…but, I have to admit, when it comes to making things he's brilliant, even if they are screwed up…"
"Like the little 'boys' locked in the basement?"
"Yes, like them…" he smirked "Well…back to work…" he sighed and left, heading for the elevator.
