"Why didn't you tell me?" Shaarx pouted. She, Axis, Erox and Rhixos were in sitting in the Grey area, talking about the latest prank. As soon as she heard about it she had tried to find the pranksters.
"You had a mission on another world, and we had already planned everything." Axis explained.
"I could have at least done something." She said, looking at her feet.
"Cheer up. Next time you'll get to play a major part." Rhixos said, trying to cheer her up.
"Fine." She huffed "But know this, if I find out that you're lying. Then I'll throw you into a pit filled with crocodiles." A wicked smile appeared on her face, it caused the other Nobodies to shiver.
She stood up and walked out of the Grey Area, almost bumping into Xerille and Noxer, who just walked into the room.
"You better prepare, Xeac is coming this way and he doesn't look too happy." Xerille warned
"He never looks happy." Axis replied, causing Erox to frown.
"Don't say we didn't warn you." The two sat down on the other side of the room.
Moments later Xeac walked into the room, his hood covered his face. But what was really weird was the black smoke coming out from underneath it. He walked closer to the three, and the moment he got close enough a wall of dark energy blocked of the entrance to the room.
"Listen we…" Rhixos started, only to be interrupted.
"Silence." He ordered, obviously not in the mood for excuses. He looked at Noxer and Xerille. "You two get out now!"
"You blocked the door." Xerille pointed out.
Not bothering to answer, he opened a corridor underneath the couch, causing it and the two Nobodies occupying it to disappear into the shadows.
"So you don't want any witnesses when you kill us?"
"Famous last words."
A flash of dark energy covered the room.
"If it were up to me I would turn the three of you into dusks, but it seems that Saïx still needs you. And because of that you get to do another mission."
"But it's almost night." Axis tried to reason.
"Its always night."
"Fine, where are we going?" Erox asked.
"The three of you are going to investigate a new world."
"Do we know anything about it?"
"If we knew anything about it I wouldn't need to send you to investigate it would I?"
He opened a corridor and beckoned them to walk in.
"I don't want to see you three until you finish this." He ordered, dark smoke still coming from underneath his hood.
The three walked into the corridor and reappeared in an abandoned hallway, it looked like nobody had been here in years. The place looked like it had once been a school but that was probably a long time ago. Rusted lockers lay on the floors, the ceiling was full of holes and the place was covered in spider webs. It looked like the place would be a perfect setting for a low budget horror movie.
"Wow, the only thing this place is missing is the mentally insane serial killer." Axis said while they walked into one of the classrooms. Its door looked like it had been ripped out.
Like the hallway it was a mess inside, wallpaper was torn of the walls and the chairs and tables had been used to build some kind barricade, but it looked like it had failed to hold back whatever or whoever they tried to keep out.
"Guys, do you see what's missing in this picture?" Erox asked.
"What are you talking about?" Rhixos replied, he was looking if there was something they could use inside the teacher's old desk.
"The inhabitants of this place obviously tried to keep something out. This room has only one entrance, and it looks like something broke in here, wouldn't they have fought back?"
"Maybe they did, and left after they killed whatever caused this mess." He reasoned.
"Do you see any blood or a corpse?"
Both Axis and Rhixos looked around, they realised Erox was right, there was not a single corpse in the room, not even blood. But the broken door clearly showed that something had forced its way into the room.
"Things don't add up." Suddenly they had the feeling that they were being watched.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Rhixos muttered while they left the room.
"I say we go back to the corridor." Erox stated.
"Did you see the look Xeac gave us when we left, I prefer not to spend the rest of my days as a dusk. Thank you very much." Axis replied
"It doesn't matter." Rhixos said, causing both of them to look up from their argument.
They immediately noticed what he was talking about. The corridor was gone. Normally a corridor would shrink in size to avoid detection, but now it had completely disappeared.
"That's odd I'm sure it was here." Erox said while he scratched his head. "It doesn't matter I'll just make a new one." He raised his hand, but before he could open the corridor a tentacle flew out of a vent and grabbed him around he waist. Before anyone could respond, the tentacle pulled Erox into the vent and the only thing he could do was scream while he disappeared into the darkness.
The two other Nobodies were frozen on spot.
"Did a tentacle just appear and dragged Erox away?"
"Yes, yes it did." Axis answered
"Good, I thought I was imagining things again."
Both of them started to run through the hallway, heading towards the basement doors.
"How do you know that we will find him in the basement?" Axis asked as she jumped over a locker.
"Lets just say that it involves something I did at school once with a goat, grape juice, an angry teacher and some feathers." Rhixos said with a grin.
"I don't want to know."
"Good, because I wasn't going to tell you."
Meanwhile things had returned to normal in the castle. Saïx was once again walking the halls with his blue hair and Xerille was in the Library. Xinalda, Noxer, Xylek and Xeac were in one of the castles other lounges.
"So why are we sitting here anyway?" Xylek asked "Why is the Grey Area still blocked by that barrier?' He was standing on the ceiling, using his powers to defy the laws of gravity.
"It's all part of the plan." Xeac answered cryptically. He was sitting on one of the couches, since they had entered this room he had lowered his hood, revealing black smoke coming from his eyes. It creeped them out a little but
Suddenly Xylek fell down from the ceiling with a yelp, causing Xinalda to giggle and Noxer to show a rare smile over his idiocy. Xeac was the only one that was not amused. Probably because the gravity controller used him to soften his landing.
"Sorry Xeac. Suddenly I could only think about cake, I lost my concentration and fell down."
"Xylek."
"Yes?"
"Get off of me."
After Xylek had removed himself from his personal space, things continued like normal. Not soon after that Xinalda left the room, leaving behind a drawing of a cake.
"So were are Xaryn and Shaarx?" Xylek asked now sitting on one of the remaining couches.
"Shaarx asked for an extra mission. As for Xaryn, I send him to complete a special assignment."
It was silent for a few minutes.
"Noxer I would like to show you something." Xeac suddenly said breaking the silence, with a nod the other yellow eyed Nobody stood up and both of them left the room.
Moments later Shaarx walked in, looking over her shoulder every few seconds.
"Are Xeac and Noxer gone?" she asked.
"Yes, why?"
"I don't want them to see Mr. Mittens." She answered while she walked into the room.
"And who's Mister Mittens?"
He got his answer when a 450 kg brown bear entered the room.
Xylek hid behind the couch in surprise.
"Were in hell's name did you find a Brown bear?"
"In Soviet-Russia." She said innocently.
He was about to ask more questions when he smelled something horrible.
"What's that smell?"
Shaarx turned towards her new companion.
"Bad Mr. Mittens, I asked you if you needed to go when we where in the woods."
It looked like the Bear lowered his head in shame, and it began walking out of the room. Prompting Shaarx to follow after it.
"We'll talk later I got to now, Mr. Mittens is hungry." Shaarx said as she followed the bear. Leaving Xylek to think about what just happened.
Xaryn had been following his target ever since he had entered this world. He had read in the intelligence reports that the dusks had made that his target had set up camp on a crossroad. But when he had arrived there he was nowhere to be found. Since then he had followed the road in hope to catch up to him. He needed to take a shortcut through the forest but now he had found him. The human, Arthas was currently battling with a creature that looked like it had been made from differenced bodies, while he was waiting in the woods behind some warehouse. He would make contact after the battle, if things went sour then his opponent would already be tired and easy to defeat. He looked at the armor he was wearing, in order not to look suspicious in this world he was dressed in a steel plate armor with the Nobody symbol on the right side of his chest, a black cloak and hood. He was brought out of his train of thoughts when he heard a building collapsing, he looked up and saw that the warehouse had been destroyed, and that most of prince's men had returned to the city to set up camp. Leaving only him and that Sorceress.
"What was that? And who was that wizard dressed in black?" The prince asked.
"I believe that the robed man was a necromancer. Obviously, he and his lackeys are behind this plague." The woman answered.
"Well, it's a good bet that we'll find him, and the answers we're looking for in Andorhal."
Xaryn used this moment to appear from the shadows. Causing the two Humans to become tense.
"Greetings Prince Arthas." He said before he made a small bow towards the Prince.
"Who are you? Are you one of those cultists?"
"No my Lord. My name is Xaryn, and if been send here to investigate the plague."
"Who send you here? It isn't the Kirin Tor." Jaina asked
"You are correct Miss Proudmoore, I was sent here by the Thirteenth Order."
"I've never heard of them."
"It is not often that we interfere with the event taking place in the world, but this mysterious plague has gotten our attention. I wish to offer you my service, so we can find the origins of the plague faster." He looked up to Arthas, who seemed to be thinking about his request.
"Alright. We leave at dawn, make sure you're ready."
Meanwhile Rhixos and Axis had reached the basement of the building. Unlike the classroom this place had plenty of blood, but no trace of Erox or the creature.
"So what now?" Axis asked
"Well. Erox is the only one that can make a corridor so we're stuck here."
Suddenly they heard a strange noise coming from the vents, then the light turned off. He heard Axis scream, and when the lights turned back on, she was gone.
"This isn't good." He needed to get out of here.
He ran up the stairs and made his way to the hallway. When he looked around he noticed more of the dark tentacles appearing from the vents. He could see the exit a few meters ahead of him, he was sure he was going to make it. He reached for the handles, only to be pulled back by something holding his leg, he looked down and to his horror he saw that one of the tentacles had gotten a hold of him. It pulled him of his feet faster then he could blink, he was pretty sure he soiled himself. He could only scream as he was pulled towards the darkness of the ventilation shaft.
He closed his eyes and braced himself for the end. Only to hear a laugh he hadn't heard in years, well he had heard a wicked version of that laugh, but it was long ago it had been a genuine one. He opened his eyes and was relieved to see the familiar white colors of the Grey Area. He stood up from the couch and saw Noxer and Xeac standing a few feet away and Erox and Axis getting up from their couches as well.
"Erox, Axis you two are ok!" He shouted of joy.
"What are you talking about? You're the one that got dragged away by that monster in the basement." Axis replied.
"No, he got dragged away when we walked back to the corridor." Erox said.
"Wait a minute. What's going on here?" He turned his attention to the yellow eyed Nobodies in the room
"I decided that it was time to give you a taste of your own medicine." Xeac said, a smirk still present on his face.
"Wait, how did you do that?" Rhixos questioned.
"Let me demonstrate." He took a deep breath and Smoke started to come out of his eyes again, next to him and Noxer, a Black tentacle appeared out of the ground.
"Does this look familiar?"
"You… But… How…" Rhixos stuttered.
"Remember that flash of dark energy? Since that moment you have been asleep, living the nightmare." Xeac explained. "Now it looks like my plan was more successful then I planned, and you might want to get a clean pair of pants."
The green eyed Nobody looked down and saw a slightly darker stop in his black pants. He suddenly realised he was the reason of Noxer's amusement. Before he could say anything Xeac had opened a corridor.
"Go." Xeac said.
Rhixos nodded, showed his thanks and walked into the corridor.
Xeac dismissed the tentacle and lifted the barrier while Noxer, Erox and Axis left the room; He opened a corridor and reported to Saïx.
He was a little surprised when we saw a third figure present at the Altar of Naught.
"Is the punishment complete?"
"Yes Superior, and I've got it all on tape." He said while a grabbed a camera out of his pocket and showed it to Saïx.
"Good, I want you to meet our newest member." Both of them turned their attention to the third figure wearing the Organization cloak. She had chest-length, pale pink hair and Yellow eyes.
"This is Xami, she's only been created a few hours ago. So it might take some time before she starts speaking. I want you to show bring her to her room."
"Of course Superior." He opened a corridor and the two left the blue haired Nobody alone on the highest point of the castle.
So chapter 8 is up. I really enjoyed writing that nightmare; the Song 'Nightmare' by Avenged Sevenfold inspired it. I want to thank everyone that took the time to read this FanFic, and double thanks to the people that reviewed. Without further delay I present you the next character.
Name: Xami (Pronounced Sa-me)
Somebody's Name: Mai
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Appearance: A pale-skinned female with a slightly wavy, chest-length, pale pink hair and long bangs that sometimes covers her golden eyes. She is 5'5 tall with a thin build. Her somebody's clothing consists of a strapless white top with short jeans and white ballerina pumps.
Personality: A mysteriously calm, cold, collected and solitary female. Xami tends to be focused and independent, planning every move carefully while having a great amount of patience to complete her plans, by stealthily observing others and mentally taking notes on them. Sometimes, she takes the initiative through her planning, proving her tactical ability through predicting her opponents'/enemies' actions, causing her to do whatever she wants regardless of whether or not it inconveniences others, appearing distant and lonely with emotionless eyes.
Despite Xami's cold appearance, she is stubbornly strong-willed while secretly shy to an extent of envying others who are able to create bonds and/or friendship, often disappearing from the sight of most people to observe them secretly. Sometimes, she appears to be childish by herself when she sees something that she likes, but quickly covers it up when discovered by someone else.
When battling, she becomes aggressive and sinister, showing wicked smiles or maniacally laughing as if she were insane, taunting her enemies. Xami tends to end them quickly by ending their lives, though taking time to observe her opponents whether they're interesting or not.
