Chapter 14: Favors
Once again we were sitting on the top of Station Tower, eating ice cream. Roxas had told me earlier that Siax loaded him with work this week so he wouldn't be stopping by today.
"Just so you know Axel, you're not going to be babysitting me this time, I'll be babysitting you." I informed him.
"What the hell are you going on about?" He asked
"Opps, guess Siax hasn't told anyone yet." I said trying not to give too much away.
"We should probably be getting back." I said as I stood up and offered Axel a hand.
"Who cares? Siax doesn't care how long we stay out as long as we RTC" Axel said waving my hand away.
"Have you seen what he looks like when he is using his berserk?" I asked.
"Don't remind me. I don't want to see that face, or remember it, any time soon." Axel said with a shudder.
"Then get your ass up." I replied. He shrugged, took his last bite of his ice cream. I summoned a corner door to the Round Room. When we walked through and everyone was there, well everyone on the Castle Oblivion team plus Siax and Xehanort. Other than Xehanort and Siax there was Marluxia, Larxene, Vexen, Zexion and Lexaeus.
"I am pleased that you could join us. I also request that you tell me how you knew of this meeting and how you knew that you were invited." Xehanort inquired.
"I had a hunch." Was all I said.
"Take a seat then." Siax commanded, motioning to the empty chairs. They were about a story high or higher, depending on your rank. They were pure white with the exception of the steel emblem on the so called 'chairs'. Axel took his and I took and empty one since I was not an official member.
"You have been summoned because of an important mission that will take part in Castle Oblivion." Xehanort said.
"Would the Lord of Castle Oblivion care to enlighten us on the task at hand?" Siax asked looking at Marluxia with his dagger like eyes.
"As you all know, Sora has returned. This has caused Roxas to become extremely unstable. We are to lure Sora to the Castle and rearrange his memories so that Roxas may once again be normal." Marluxia explained.
"Okay, none of us are normal here. That's why were called Nobodies. Even Elizabeth is half Nobody. And about the memory rearranging, how the hell are we supposed to do that?" Axel asked.
"With help." Siax said as a young blond girl in a white dress. She was five two and those Nobody Blue eyes.
"And who's this little poppet?" Xigbar asked.
"Someone who won't sleep with you, Xigbar, and her name is Namine. She is Kairi's Nobody. Since her heart resided in Sora's, her Nobody has the ability to rearrange the memories in his heart. That will sever Sora's link to Roxas, so he cannot be called back. Isn't that correct, Xehanort." I answered.
"Yes, and…" Siax began but I cut him off.
"Did I ask you, Siax?" I snapped
"You are indeed correct, Elizabeth. And once again I will remind you that I am no longer Xehanort, I am Xemnas." Xehanort answered.
"And once again I will remind you that 'Xemnas' is derived from a name which you stole, not your True Name" I countered.
"If we may continue?" Siax asked knowing that he did not want to interfere in our power struggle. He knew that he did not want to be on my bad side, but neither did he want to be on Xehanort's bad side. He knew that if the others realized that I could stand up to the Superior and get my way, that there would be an uprising. What he should know by now is that there is already one boiling right under his nose. In fact, it was here before I was.
"You may proceed." Xehanort said.
"You have each been chosen because of certain attributes you each possess. Whether it is brain, brawn, or the combination of the two, you are all needed for this mission. You leave in two days, you are dismissed." Siax explains. Everyone left except for Xehanort, Siax, Marluxia, Axel and I.
"Axel, please stay behind, I wish to speak to you about Roxas's condition, privately. You two are dismissed." Siax said.
"I think I'll stay behind. After all, I have been with Roxas just as much as Axel. Two viewpoints are better than one." I said as I winked in Marluxia's direction. He nodded and left.
"My room, now, both of you." Siax said as he disappeared. Axel threw me this concerned look.
Everyone had the same room. We all had the same steel walls, the same gray bed and the same out look at the moonless sky. Siax turned around and gave me an expectant look.
"Well?" Siax asked.
"Yes?" I replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Your observations? I would like to speak with Axel privately afterward." Siax demanded.
"You can drop the bullshit act Siax. You know that bit I did back there was pure acting." I said sitting down on his bed. Siax gave me a glare and I returned it.
"Can someone tell me what the ficken' hell is going on?!" Axel asked.
"Keep your voice down Axel. Anyone could be listening at the door and you don't want Siax's secret getting out, now do you?" I asked, removing my eyes from Siax's.
"What secret I have nothing to.." He began as I cut him off.
"I told you to quit with the bullshit. I want in. And you will owe me big time." I dared.
Siax took a few moments to weigh his options. Axel was about to open his trap and I shut him up with an ice cold look.
"Very well. Fill him in. Now leave." Siax said. We left and went to Axel's room.
"Spill, now. Before I start shooting fire balls Elizabeth." Axel commanded with his arms crossed.
"There is a small rebellious group in the Castle Oblivion team. Our, under the table, mission is to infiltrate the group and destroy it from the inside. There are also those who know of Siax's plan. He wants us to eliminate them all." I explained.
"Thank you. Any idea who's in this uprising?" Axel asked.
"Its Marluxia and Larxean and we should have no trouble slipping in." I explained.
"How do you know that?" Axel asked.
"They asked me to join a month after I joined the Organization." I stated calmly.
He shook his head and sat down on the bed. He had lost his usual light hearted face and was replaced by a very serious one. He looks so much like Siax. How could no one else notice?
"Elizabeth?... Have you ever killed someone? As you" Axel began but was interrupted by a loud beeping. I hung on as hard as I could.
"…know.." I had never gotten this far before.
"…was an assassin." Everything finally went white and I woke up.
Thanks for reading!
