Everyone was asleep inside the castle, well everyone except Xeac, he was preparing to enter Sora's dream. Under normal circumstances it was easy for him to enter someone's dream, but when that person is millions of miles away in another world, things become tricky.
If someone were to enter Xeac's room they would see the basic furniture, a bed, a desk, and some drawers. But they would also notice eleven pools of strange beige liquid in one of the corners of the room.
He uses these pools to see and manipulate the dreams of the eleven lower ranking members. But when he combined their power he could influence the dreams of people further away.
He walked past the pools and noticed what the other members were dreaming about. Erox was dreaming about some previous recon mission, Shaarx about walking trough some forest filled with animals, Axis about her pervious home, Xylek about sparring with various members. And the new girl Xerille was dreaming about the castles grand library, she was obviously impressed by its size.
He finished his preparations and took a seat on the island in the center of the pools; soon he was in a deep comatose state.
After saving the worlds and returning to the Islands, live had returned to normal for Sora. He was lucky he returned to the islands a few days before the summer vacation started, giving him a much needed break.
When he went to bed after a day of hanging out with his friends, he didn't dream about the worlds he had visited, like he normally would. Instead he found himself in a place that looked a lot like Betwixt and Between, the only differences were that there were no Nobody symbols flying around, and instead of orange and dark blue it looked gray.
When he looked around he noticed that Kairi was standing beside him and that a figure wearing the Organization cloak had suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?" he asked looking around "What is this place?"
The color of the area changed from gray to red.
The figure lowered his hood and Sora saw that he had spiky black hair, yellow eyes and a scar over his right eye.
The figure made a small bow before he started talking.
"Greetings Sora, I'm here to offer you an alliance." The figure said without introducing himself.
"You didn't answer my questions." he demanded.
"I apologize, my name is Xeac, and this place is called Dream's Edge." Xeac answered. "Like dreams, it shows the emotions of those present."
Kairi was keeping a close eye on Xeac; something about him looked familiar "Why are we here?"
The color of the area changed back to gray.
"After you and your friends defeated Xemnas, Maleficent took control of The World That Never Was." Xeac started but he was interrupted by Sora seconds later.
"You're a Nobody." Sora realized, he attempted to summon his Keyblade but nothing happened.
"You are correct, and you should know that you won't be able to summon your weapon in this place. It does not exist, it is a place inside our own minds."
Realizing how vulnerable they were Sora moved forward and stood protectively in front of Kairi.
"You have nothing to fear Keybearer, I'm not here to fight you." Xeac said, causing Sora to feel a little at ease, but he still kept his guard up.
"Can I continue?" Xeac asked, a little annoyed because of the interruption.
Both Sora and Kairi nodded and Xeac continued.
"After Maleficent took control of the castle, she started to use the Heartless that appeared because of the destruction of Kingdom Hearts to bolster her forces. And now because she had control of a world so close to the realm of darkness, she is stronger then ever before. We managed to recapture The World That Never Was, but with Maleficent stronger then ever, it is only a matter of time before the worlds start to disappear again." Xeac explained
"But why do you need our help?" Kairi asked.
"Right now the war has reached a stalemate, but in the long run we will lose. There will always be more Heartless then Nobodies. But with the Heartless destroying our forces faster then we can regain them, we will eventually lose this battle." The Nobody answered.
"Separately we cannot defeat Maleficent, but if we work together we have a chance." Xeac said as he heard someone appear behind him.
The color of the area changed into maroon.
He turned around just in time to dodge a punch from Pete; He jumped back to where Sora and Kairi were standing.
"Well Pete I wasn't expecting you to be here. I see you have recovered since our last fight. " Xeac said a bit bored, while he looked at the oversized cat.
Pete glared at him before answering "Yeah, like I'm going to tell you that Maleficent send me here to take care of those two while they're powerless, using some amulet she stole." His eyes widened when he realized what he had said, "Oops."
They took notice of the amulet hanging around Pete's neck as he prepared to attack again, only to find his feet sinking in the once solid ground of Dream's Edge.
Panicked he looked up when he heard a chuckle coming from the trio opposite of him, He saw Xeac moving towards him and noticed his arms were also staring to sink into the ground.
"Wha…What d…d… did you do?" He stuttered.
"It was foolish of you to try to beat me in my own terrain. You try to beat the guy that controls dreams in the dream world, not a good move. " Xeac said as he ripped the amulet of Pete's neck, causing him to disappear.
Dream's Edge changed into a green color.
"So now that the interruption has been taken care of, do we have a deal?" Xeac asked.
Sora was hesitant to agree, Kairi on the other hand accepted immediately.
"Deal."
"Good, then I have something for both of you." He said while he threw the amulet to Kairi and a Key chain that looked like several Z's attached to each other to Sora.
"See this as a token of goodwill, with the amulet you can come back to this place to contact me, and that Key Chain allows you to summon 'Hibernation's End'. Xeac turned to leave and Dream's Edge started to disappear, Sora was already gone, but before Kairi disappeared she noticed Xeac turned and said one last thing.
"It was good to see you again Kairi." and with those words she woke up, wondering if it had all been a dream. She looked down to see the star shaped amulet.
Back at the Castle everybody expect Saïx was staring at the unresponsive second in command. Since Xeac normally woke them, today was a rare exception and they were aloud to sleep in.
"Do you think he's dead?" Shaarx asked.
"Only one way to find out." Axis answered as she grabbed a stick from who knows were, and started to poke him.
"I don't think that's a good idea, don't you know the expression, 'Let sleeping dogs lie'" Xylek reasoned.
"You mean like he does with us al the time?" Axis countered, still poking Xeac with a stick. She failed to notice that the older Nobody had opened his eyes.
"May I ask what you're all doing in my room?" He asked, glaring at everyone present in the room.
"HE'S AWAKE RUN!" Axis shouted as they al left the room, running from their lives.
After fleeing from Xeac's room Axis and Erox were lucky to encounter Saïx who opened a corridor to the world they were supposed to recon.
They left the corridor and found themselves inside a forest close to what looked like a military camp, several knights were training while others were listening to the orders of someone wielding a large hammer.
"This world looks like its still stuck inside the Middle Ages, with a bit luck they won't think its odd we can use magic." Erox observed.
They moved closer to the base to eavesdrop on the soldiers present. When they got close enough they noticed a second figure wielding a hammer approach, this one followed by two guards.
"Welcome, Prince Arthas. The men and I are honored by your presence." The first man spoke
"Can the formalities, Uther. I'm not king yet. It's good to see you." Arthas replied.
"You too, lad. I'm pleased that King Terenas sent you to help me."
"Father still hopes your patients and experience might rub of on me."
"It is a father's right to dream. isn't it?" Uther said causing them both to chuckle.
Arthas now turned serious "Look, here's were we stand. Our scouts have confirmed that there is and orc encampment hidden somewhere over the next ridge."
"As I suspected." Uther said.
"It gets worse. They're preparing to attack the nearby village of Stranhbrad. As far as we know, the village is completely defenseless." Arthas continued.
"I need to move against the orcs' base immediately. Can you handle Stranhbrad's defenses on your own?" Uther asked
"Of course, Uther. Don't worry about me."
"Good. Meet me at the orc camp once you've saved the village. Be careful, Arthas." Uther said while he and a large part of the troops left the base.
"So we managed to get a lot of Intel from that conversation." Axis said
"I will follow that Uther figure, You'll follow the Prince. The sooner we get this over with the better." Erox ordered as he left to track the paladin.
Axis moved through the woods as the followed Arthas, for a moment she lost him and walked into a clearing. She saw a man standing in the center of the clearing and walked towards him. But as soon as she was close enough he turned around and attacked her with a large axe.
"Say your prayers." He shouted as several more bandits appeared from the woods and surrounded her.
She summoned her swords, stunning the bandits for a moment and slashed open the leg of one of the bandits. She rolled out of the way just in time to dodge an axe that was thrown at her, she picked up the weapon and threw it at the crippled bandit, decapitating him, before running up to the next one. The silver haired girl jumped on top of him and sliced his throat.
The last two bandits charged at her, but they didn't get close. She threw both of swords and hit both of them in the stomach, killing them.
After tanking care of the bandits, she found a road leading to the Town of Stranhbrad. Noticing Arthas was just ahead of her she hid behind several rocks.
"Safe us." a villager shouted while he ran away from the orcs pursuing him.
"He's escaping, kill him." The orcs said as they killed the fleeing man.
"Damn! The attack has already begun, to arms my brothers." Arthas said, he and his men begun to slaughter the orc raiders inside the burning town.
Axis followed close behind them, cautions not to get spotted.
At the edge of the city they noticed the orc in charge of the raid, he and the surviving orcs where moving the last of the villagers out of the city.
"Haul these retches of with the rest of them!" The red orc said.
"Move 'em out." a grunt said , two others led the prisoners out of the village.
Arthas and his men quickly killed the orcs, but they were to late. The villagers were gone.
Axis followed the prince to the entrance of the town, where he met with some of the survivors.
"Bless you, prince Arthas." A woman said.
"But what about the others who were taken away?" A child asked.
"Don't worry, son. We'll find them and bring them home safe." Arthas answered.
A knight rode forward to met the prince.
"Prince Arthas, Lord Uther needs you at the orc encampment immediately." he reported.
The prince sighed
"Never a dull moment…Let's get moving." he said, both of them left for Uther's encampment.
Axis appeared out of the shadows after everyone had left.
"Well, that concludes recon. Now to find that inn we're supposed to rendezvous at."
When she entered one of the inns west of the town, she heard a drunken dwarf shouting random things.
"Where's me drink?"
"This is my boom stick." he shouted while he raised his blunderbuss.
"Ah there's me drink, GET IN MY BELLY." he shouted, finding his drink.
"Guns don't kill people, I DO." He laughed.
After a few minutes of waiting, one of the patrons walked up to the dwarf, apparently he had enough of him and knocked him out. a few seconds after that Erox walked in and they left the inn.
Once they were deep into the woods, they created a corridor and returned to the castle.
Xeac and Saïx were looking up to the ruined Kingdom hearts, discussing their progress. The heart shaped moon was slowly healing, a sign that the Keyblade wielders had started to defeat more heartless.
"It looks like your diplomatic mission was a success." Saïx said
"Yes, with the Keybearers at our side we will crush the witch and finally complete our goal."
Xeac said while both of them turned to look at a third cloaked figure.
He lowered his hood to reveal a boy, about sixteen years old, he had about their height, and had dark brown hair.
The boy help out his hand and summoned his weapon, A Keyblade. It's cross guard looked like a pair of dragon wings, the blade itself looked like a bent dragon neck, at the end of the blade the dragon's head was found with an open mouth, showing its teeth.
"What do you want me to do superior?" He asked.
"We will offer our help to the new world, Azeroth, I believe the locals call it. We will have our operation there under the name of the Thirteenth Order. I want you to offer your services to that Prince. Something tells me there is more than meets the eye about him." Saïx ordered.
"As you wish."
AN
So chapter 5 is up, will the organization change the events that are going to happen in Azeroth?
I know I said no Keyblades, but this one can work in my favor. All will be revealed in time.
If you don't know the Warcraft universe I suggest that you at least see these two clips on Youtube: Arthas betrayal and the Ascension. They should tell you about things to come, (They also give a sinister touch to the last part of the chapter when you listen to them). and I may or may not have plans to change those events.
If you guessed that the kids in the last chapter were Kairi, Ienzo, Sai, Roe and Ace, you were right and earned a cookie.
