Chapter 4: New Additions
"We got em dude! I mean.. Superior.." Axel said as they exited the portal directly into Xemnas's office.
"Axel, what did I tell you about opening portals INTO MY OFFICE!" Xemnas yelled. Ariel stopped struggling, Axel dropped her, Zexion stopped chanting, and Tyler stumbled over. Everyone stared at the man.
Xemnas cleared his throat. "Excuse my temper." he said, looking at the girls, smiling. "Ah. You are here. Axel. Zexion. You are dismissed."
"Aww come on!" Axel said. "I wanna hear the scoop too."
"The scoop?" Zexion and Tyler muttered with a chuckle then looked at each other.
"Wait, where the hell am I?" Tyler said.
"You are in The Castle That Never Was." Xemnas said with a smile which quickly changed into a sneer. "Number 6. Number 8. You are dismissed." This time they took the hint. They left the room, after much of Axel's complaining and Zexion's pushing.
"Why are we here?" Tyler asked suspiciously and fiercely, almost looking ready to fight as did Ariel.
"Because, you two," Xemnas started, leaning back to relax, "are Nobodies."
"Um… rude?" Ariel said. Xemnas simply chuckled.
"Not at all. A Nobody is someone with a strong heart who has died and became a Heartless of a higher variety."
The two let it sink in and didn't say anything.
"Since The Organization takes in Nobodies, I have ordered you to be bought here where you will live and serve amoung the other Nobodies."
"Live?" Ariel interrupted.
"Serve?" Tyler asked, not seeming to like the idea so much.
"Since we no longer have hearts, we work to gain enough from the Heartless to give to the Kingdom Heart, so that our hearts may be restored. Understand?"
They both nodded then Tyler smirked.
"Don't Heartless not have hearts?" she asked.
"These are hearts they have stolen. We all have missions to go out and kill these creatures in order to get them back." he responded with no hesitation.
"So, all we have to do is kill Heartless and collect hearts and we can stay here?" Ariel asked.
"That is the idea." Xemnas answered.
The two girls looked at each other.
'Should we accept?' Ariel thought to Tyler.
'I don't know… we don't really have a real place to stay.'
'True. So…'
After the quick conversation through their minds they nodded.
"We accept." they said in unison.
"Great. By the way, I am Xemnas, Number 1, your Superior."
"Pssh, Superior my-" Tyler started but Xemnas gave her a look. "Glad to join." she said quickly.
"As a rule of The Organization, you cannot have your human names." he said. "What are you're names. And powers?"
"Ariel" the brunette responded
"And I am Tyler." Tyler stated.
"Interesting." he said thinking, "Rexial, Number 14 and Tryxel, Number 15. Welcome to the Organization." Xemnas stated professionally. He pressed a button and a blue haired man popped up through swirling portal.
"Yes, Superior." he said stiffly, eyeing the two newcomers."Ah, Saix. Meet Rexial and Tryxel. Or newest members." Xemnas said. Saix simply nodded toward them as they waved at him awkwardly. "Take them to find them rooms." Xemnas told him.
And off they went.
