Chapter 18: Confrontation

"Your first mission will be with Marluxia. Find the heartless threat and neutralize it. You are dismissed. Be on your way." Siax ordered. Marluxia was six foot had long pink hair and used a scythe, the blade was in the shape of a pointed flower petal and the stem of the flower was the handle. He had taught me how to wield it a short month ago. He had a very feminine face, but had the deepest voice of anyone in the Organization. I made a corner door to Twilight Town.

When we walked through we were in the down town area. There were several unopened shops and a trolley track that was the mode of transportation for the townspeople. I assumed that these shops did not open till at least nine and we would be long gone by then. I knelt down and took a few moments to feel the vibrations in the ground.

"There is a break in the far wall of this area. I feel motion behind it. Let's go." I said as I stood up.

"We'll make quick work of this." I stated as I started off.

"Axel was not lying. You do have extremely keen senses." Marluxia said in awe.

"Quite goofing around, I'd like to keep this quick. Try to keep up." I lectured as I took off in a sprint. The break in the wall was not far off so it took me no time to reach. I slid through just as Marluxia caught up.

On the other side was a forest. The trunks of the trees were at least three to four stories high before the canopy even started. There was a break in the tree line about three hundred meters to our left. I honed my senses and felt movement coming from that direction and heard a loud metal on metal sound.

"You hear that?" I asked

"Faintly." He replied.

"Let's go then."

I jumped from trunk to trunk till I reached the break in the trees. There was a large abandoned mansion, but more importantly, our target was there, banging on the gates to the mansion. It was a stocky armored insignia heartless with swords for its forearm; I think that Siax called it a 'Zipslasher'. A heartless is the direct result of a person who turned to the dark side of their heart. The heart is repelled from the body and the soul and becomes a being of pure instinct. Nobodies are the empty body and the soul that was attached to it. If the will of person was strong, then their body lives on. The stronger the will the closer it will keep to its human form. Organization XIII is the higher Nobodies, the ones that kept their human form. I am merely a resident of their castle; I owe a lot to their generosity. At the moment, working for them is all I can do to repay that debt. Marluxia summoned his scythe and was about to attack, but I held my arm out to stop him.

"That won't be necessary." I told him. I merely snapped my fingers and the heartless was hit with a gigantic fire ball. I picked that up in my lessons with Axel. The heartless stopped its attack on the gates and retaliated.

I held my hand out and said," Freeze." The angered Heartless froze on mid attack a few feet from me. I summoned my weapons and switched them to laser guns. I had created a rip in the armor with the quick heating and cooling. I found it and sent a single shot into the soft flesh of the creature. It fell to the ground dead, and evaporated, leaving a single heart to float up into the sky only to reappear someplace else.

"I told you that I wanted to keep this quick." I said turning back to Marluxia.

"They won't be expecting us for some time." He stated.

"And?"

"And I wish to speak with you in private." Marluxia said.

"Shoot."

"I know that nothing gets past you. So what do you think I want to talk about?" He slyly hinted.

"If you are going to ask, ask. Otherwise I'm going to RTC." I stated.

"Would you care to join us? I know that you will be the deciding factor. Whoever side you're on will win. I know that you grow in power every day. So I'll ask once again, will you join us?" He asked.

I simply turned my back to him and replied," I'll think about it." And everything went black.
