Courage and Sacrifice
Chapter 3: Recovery
In the World that Never Was, the remaining seven members of Organization XII were meeting in the Room where Nothing Gathers. Xemnas seemed to be troubled.
"Are you sure of this?" Xemnas asked.
"Yes, Superior," Saïx responded, "the pages of the scribe's book concerning the puppet and the key formed a fiery entity and disappeared. This could only mean the puppet is reborn and the target no longer needs those memories or the key."
"Do we have any information on where the puppet has been reborn?" Xemnas asked.
"No, my lord. But we can mobilize the informants in a moments notice," Xaldin replied.
"And then what? With the memories returned to the target, how are we going to find out where he is?" Xigbar asked.
"There may be some residual memory left on the key. Soon, the Heartless will catch up to him. When they do, he will have to fight, and then we can track him. Are the replacements ready?" Xemnas asked one of five cloaked figures standing on the floor below.
"Yes, my lord," a familiar male's voice replied from among them.
"Good," Xemnas said before looking at another of the figures, the shortest one there, "Go to post A-17, and await orders. You will be in charge of the interrogation once we retrieve the key."
"Yes, my lord," a familiar female's voice replied before disappearing through a dark corridor.
IIIIIIIII
Xion awoke a few days later feeling weak. She noticed that she was in a plain white hospital room with an IV hooked into her arm. She could hear the steady beat of a heart monitor in the room. Sunlight streamed through the window to the left rather peacefully. Judging by the color and amount of light pouring through, Xion guessed it was sunrise.
How long has it been since I've truly been able to enjoy sunlight? Xion thought. Roxas….
Xion looked to her right and noticed a stuffed animal holding flowers and a card. The card hard eight notes on it each from a different person offering words of encouragement. Xion started getting out of bed and tried to stand up only to find that her legs were weak before collapsing,
"You ok?" a kind feminine voice said.
Xion propped herself up with her arms and looked up at the owner of the voice. The owner, Sparky, wore the same uniform Rowin wore the other night. A gold oak leaf was on each collar instead of a silver one. She was a 5'5" with black hair and dark skin. Her eyes were brown and she had an athletic build. Her ability was the ability to manipulate electrons and protons thus allowing her to create and control electricity. She was fifth in rank on Storm Squadron and the team's electrician, hacker, and computer genius. Her beauty was matched only by her fighting skills. She appeared to be about nineteen.
"Yeah, just fell is all," Xion said sheepishly.
"Here. Let me help you," Sparky said as she helped Xion back into her bed.
"What happened to me?" asked Xion.
"You almost died when we tried bringing you back," Sparky said, "Your body probably just isn't used to using it's muscles yet."
"How long is that going to last?" Xion asked.
"Probably a few weeks," Sparky said.
"Attention on deck!" a voice came from down the hallway.
"Carry on everyone," Rowin's voice replied.
"Good morning Rowin," Sparky said.
"How are you doing, Xion?" Rowin asked.
"I'm doing ok. What is this place and what's going to happen to me?" Xion asked.
"You are currently in the headquarters for Cumular's highly elite special forces team: Storm Squadron. Our hope is that you join us. When you are healthy enough to be fit for full duty, we can tell you more about this nation and begin your training," Rowin said.
"I have to find Roxas. He's the reason I sacrificed myself," Xion replied.
"We can help you find him. But we need you to help us if you want to help him. Xemnas and Organization XIII are on the rise again. And this time, they have help, they've recently acquired a small military force to follow their every order. Our ancestors provided something to give you an edge to help us defeat them,"
Ok. I'll join you," Xion said after thinking for a moment.
Hope you enjoyed it. Please don't be afraid to review.
