Summary: Xemnas, in a mad act of desire, has chosen thirteen new targets to turn into heartless. It's his belief that their hearts will finally complete Kingdom Hearts.
Characters: Olympian Gods and Organization XIII.
Universe: Game
Warnings: Mild violence and mild language.
Dedication: I dedicate this story to Apollo, for without him there would be no literature, and I would have no writing skills.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, nor do I own Percy Jackson.
Note: Aphrodite vs. Demyx is going to be an expositional work. It's meant to help explain things, foreshadow things, and make allusions to other, similar, invasions Organization Thirteen has completed.
There will be a total of 40 chapters (3 for each Nobody, plus the first chapter.) Please feel free to favorite this story. Doing so would mean more to me than even a review. But, truthfully, I would rather you add this to your story alert (that is much more important to me than a review, because that means you like my story enough to continue reading it.)
Lastly, I've received a review from someone, telling me they hate Yaoi. Now, I've no plans to have any Romanic parings of any sort in this story, at the moment. However, I'd like to ask you readers if you think there should be undertones of relationships among the characters; in short, I'm asking you if there should, in some way, be one or two parings. Do you think it would aid the story, or hurt the plot?
Falling Skys, Chapter 5
The room was spacious, well lit, and cozy. There were large tables, with relatively comfortable chairs, where groups could sit and socialize. In the corner of the room, there was a fireplace, normally used for decoration. Today, however, it was bright and alive.
The immediate area around the fire was hardwood, a cold, and strangely beautiful, contrast to the plush carpet that covered the rest of the room's floor. Half a dozen chairs, softly squishy, as plush as they were comfortable, dotted the hardwood, massed together in groups of twos and threes.
The room was a coffee shop, and there weren't any people around. The room, however, was occupied; two things, one a goddess and the other a Nobody, sat across from one another, awaiting their coffee. A third thing, a lesser nobody, was working diligently to produce two cups of coffee, despite its lack of machine experience.
"This is nice." The goddess said.
"Ya, I guess it is. I don't have anything to compare it to." The Nobody said.
"So, what's your name?"
"Oh! I'm Demyx. Number nine of Organization Thirteen."
"Demyx? A handsome name for a handsome boy. So Mr. Handsome, why don't you tell me what all this is about?" The goddess recommended, smiling suggestively at the Nobody.
"I'm really sorry, Lady Aphrodite, I can't."
"And why's that?"
"If I tell you, you might ruin the Superior's plan, and I can't let that happen."
"I'm the goddess of beauty, not war. I swear I'll not interfere with your job, as long as you don't interfere with mine." Aphrodite said, her smile twisting from seductive to staid.
"Oh. All right. My boss, the Superior, wanted me to keep you busy. He wanted me to fight you, to try and turn you into a heartless if I could. But, I'm not much of a fighter. And I don't think you are either. So that's why we're here, instead of out in the streets battling.
"Anyways, back to your question. The Superior, he wants you and the other Olympian Gods turned into heartless, so he can control your Nobodies. Then, once that's been accomplished, the Superior is planning to have us destroy your guy's heartless, so their hearts can join with Kingdom Hearts." Demyx, throughout his entire explanation, had looked distracted, slightly befuddled, as though he'd simply been reading from a report.
"I'm sorry, I don't really understand what the superior wants. I just do as I'm told. Most of the time, anyways." Demyx added, after a moment.
"It's fine. But I do have a question."
"A question?" Demyx's eyes grew large, fish like in their confusion. Then, nearly a moment later, they returned to normal, and the Nobody said, "Sure. What do you want to know?"
"What is a Nobody? Oh, thank you." Aphrodite accepted a cup of coffee from the lesser nobody, then returned her attention to Demyx.
"Um…when someone losses their heart to the darkness, they become a heartless. If that person is of strong will, or extraordinary power, the body they leave behind begins to act with a mind of its own. The body that's left, that's what's called a Nobody. Most are controlled by myself and the other members of Organization Thirteen, but sometimes the Nobody retains its original shape, and its memories; when that happens, they join the Organization."
"I see. So, how would you turn me into a heartless?"
"Well, if I beat you in a fight, you would be weak enough for me to consume you in darkness. Or something like that. I'm not really sure. Not that it matters, since I'm not planning on fighting you."
"Well, I'm glad you don't want to fight. Fighting is so, low-key. Fighting destroys beauty, most of the time; though, I must admit, the truly best things are creat-" Aphrodite stopped, her eyes growing hazy. "Athena has disappeared. Would you know anything about that?"
"Athena? She was paired up against Zexy. If she's gone, then that must mean he's winning." Demyx gave a huge smile. Aphrodite didn't look as thrilled as the Nobody did, but she remained seated.
"And who is this "Zexy?"
