Chapter 10: A Nobody is Never Meant to Exist

MAX

The boys were the last ones picked up.

Sora looked at them and asked, "Did you get it?"

Gazzy held up a small spear that radiated in lighting and said, "This is the Lighting of Greece, and because of it, me and Iggy can't be electricuted. Heck, we can even control electricity."

Gazzy pointed the spear at Iggy and a lighting bolt came out of it.

It just rolled off him, it didn't even leave a burn mark.

Sora smirked and said, "I'm guessing that was a gift from Zeus."

Iggy nodded and said, "By the way, Herules want's you to visit."

Riku looked over at Donald and Goofy, who had been fairly quite since we got back from Amestris.

Riku looked at us and asked, "Why do these people look just like Donald and Goofy?"

I replied, "The world we went to doesn't have talking animals, so Donald cast a spell that made them look human."

Fang looked at us and asked, "What did it have?"

I looked up and said, "Just some very mess up stuff, a new keyblade, two new friends, and the pocket watch."

Sora held it up and showed them it. He opened it up showing the crest inside.

Gazzy looked at the date and asked, "What happened, on that date?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I'll have to ask Ed when we go to see him again."

Riku looked at Sora and said, "You got a new one?"

He nodded and pulled out Equivalency.

He smiled and said, "It's called Equivalincy, and it acts as an alchemic catalyst."

He tapped it on the ground and sparks emitted from the ground.

A small statue of Ed and Al came up made completely out of metal.

I looked at him and said, "Your really getting good at that. It looks just like them, you even got the mark on the back of Ed's jacket."

Riku picked up the statue and asked, "Who are they?"

I replied, "Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist, and his brother, Alphonse Elric. Ed is the one with the coat, and his younger brother is the armor."

He looked up and said, "Don't you mean is in the armor?"

I shook my head and said, "His soul is bound to the armor. He's not inside it. He is it."

He looked at the statue again and asked, "Anything else I should know about these two?"

Sora said, "Well Ed's right arm and left leg are made of metal prosthetic called automail, he's 15 years old and in the military, hates being called short, and they are looking for a thing called, the Philospher's Stone. I would tell you more, but it's not my story to tell. When we visit them again, you can ask then."

He looked at Sora and said, "You seem off Sora..."

He made his keyblade disapear and looked at his hands.

He said, "I wonder..."

He clapped his hands together and placed them on the ground.

The statue began to disintegrate with same alchemic light.

I looked at him and said, "Sora you just did alchemy with no circles, just like Ed..."

He groaned and said, "Yeah, and all it cost me was my Drive..."

Riku looked at Sora and said, "Your Drive? You mean you can't do it anymore?"

He nodded and said, "As we were leaving, we encountered this guy called the Truth. He gave me knowlage of alchemy, how to do it, what things are made of, and gave me the abiltity to transmute without circles. But as payment he took away my Drive. I can't go back or he might take something else."

I was going to say something when I felt sick. I ran out of the room for a moment and threw up a puddle of blood.

I came back in and said, "If I see Truth again, I'm going to kick his ass."

Fang looked at me in horror and said, "Max..."

"You have blood on your mouth..."

I pressed my hand on my mouth and sure enough it had a bit of blood on it.

I sighed and said, "Truth, took some non vital organs from me. According to him, throwing up blood is normal, with this, but he did say it won't happen offen since I'm stronger than a normal person."

Iggy said, "Dam, that sounds horrible. So what did he give you?"

I held out my hand a summoned my keyblade.

Riku stepped back and said, "He gave you that!?"

I shook my head and said, "No, apperantly I've always had it. He awaken my hidden abitlites, letting wield my own keyblade..."

Iggy yelled, "That's kind of awesome! Well, beside's the throwing up blood part!"

I groaned and said, "Donald and Goofy saw it too, but they have no recoletion of what they saw, earned, or gave."

Riku looked at me and said, "Hopefully something not so drastic..."

I turned to Kairi and asked, "So how was Atlantica?"

She sighed and said, "We had the key in our grasp when, an Oringization XIII member stole it from us."

Sora shook his head and said, "The Orignization are back too? Dammit!"

Angel looked up and said, "It gets worse..."

"He looked just like Ari, but with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tattoo on his forehead..."

Sora eyes widen and he asked, "Did he tell you his name?"

She nodded and said, "Raix. He said his name was Raix. He kind of sounded like Ari, but not also not like him at all, at the same time."

Sora shook his head and said, "No...NO!"

He hit his fist on the wall, leaving a small dent.

Nudge looked at him and said, "Sora...What's wrong?"

He looked at me and said in a hushed tone, "Max do you remember, how I told you a Nobody is made..."

I nodded and said, "Yeah, a person with a strong heart gets their heart taken, and the empty shell moves around on it's own..."

Sora nodded and said, "Oringization XIII members are higher level Nobodies, that look like the people they're made from..."

My eyes widen as he continued, "I don't know how, but they must have taken Ari's heart, and because of that, Raix was born and he has all the abilties of his former self. He's a freakin' eraser, pumped up with the power of Nobodies..."

We all sat quitely in shock.

Sora looked up and said, "He remember's nothing about Ari, or his old life. He is a body endlessly searching for his lost heart. Unless he's like Namine or Roxas, who recovered their memories and renited with their true selves."

I looked at Sora and asked, "Who's Namine and Roxas? I never heard you talk about them before."

Kairi stood up and said, "I'll show you."

Kairi placed her hands over her chest and her body began to glow with a white light.

When the light faded, Kairi was gone, and girl almost idendical to her stood where she did.

She had pale blonde hair, shining blue eyes, and a short white dress.

She smiled and said in her soft voice, "I am Namine."

Gazzy looked at her and said, "Okay Namine, where's Kairi?"

She smiled and said, "Me and Kairi are one in the same. I am half of her, and she is half of me."

I stared in shock and said, "Does that mean you're..."

Namine nodded and said, "Yes, I am Kairi's Nobody."

Fang looked at her and asked, "How?"

She looked at us and said, "Kairi once had her heart taken from her, and because of that, I was born. But since we reunined, Kairi and I live a two souls in the same body."

I stared in complete shock and said, "That's...unbelievable..."

"Not as unbelievable as how Sora lives with these things on his back. How the heck do I even control them?! It's like moving a dam frieght train!"

I turned around to see a boy with spikey blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a white shirt on with black pants, Sora's wings and...

SORA'S WINGS!?

I yelled, "Who the hell are you and why do have Sora's wings?!"

He gave a scared smile and said, "Um... Hi, I'm Roxas, and it's a long story."

"Now, can you please tell me how these things work, Sora isn't helping much?"

I said with a stutter, "Uh...it's like a limb, think and it moves..."

He nodded and the wings tucked flat.

He smiled and said, "Thanks for that. Sorry if I freaked you guys out. Sora kind of push me out for a little bit, said you guys need to understand who we are."

Fang looked at him and said, "So your just like Namine?"

He nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm techenicly Sora's Nobody. Sora gave up his heart to save Kairi, and that's how I was created. I basicly didn't know I was a part of Sora, until I began seeing his memories, and found myself carrying the keyblade. Then we reunited, to create a single body and mind."

I sighed and said, "Just as I thought things couldn't get any weirder, I find out you have spilt personalities."

Roxas snickkered and said, "True, honestly for the time he was in The School, I couldn't talk to him, his body and mind was too weak. I tried to slip out once, only to find myself, being electucted. It wasn't till Sora fell asleep in the cave I was able to find out what happened to him over the last six months."

Namine nodded and said, "Sora's body and heart must be in tune to work the keyblade and to talk to you. His body had been so brualtly hurt, he lost his sync and couldn't contact you or summond his keyblade."

Roxas sighed and said, "Well, I better let Sora back out, he's practically bouncing to get out."

Namine smiled and said, "It was nice to offically meet you all. I hope we can be more of a help in the future."

Angel smiled and said, "By the way, Thank you for helping us in Atlantica."

She smiled and said, "I just reminded Kairi of the words, that's all."

The room once again filled with light. Kairi and Sora stood back where they were.

Sora smiled and said, "So...What did you think of Roxas?"

My eye twitched and I said, "This just gets stranger by the minute."

Nudge nodded and said, "First the whole mermaid thing, then the Ari/Raix problem, now the Sora and Kairi's douple gangers..."

Gazzy looked at her and said, "Whoa. Did you just said mermaid?"

Nudge nodded and said, "Atlantica is filled with them, and there's this awesome spell on it, where you get to be a mermaid while your there! We meet a mermaid princess named Ariel, and we sang in a huge contest where..."

I looked at her and said, "Um...Nudge, did you just say, you guys turned into mermaids while you were there?"

Angel nodded and said, "Total turned into a sea turtle too. I had a pretty blue tail, while Kairi's was pink, and Nudge's was purple."

I fell on my butt and said, "Seriously?! This is weird, even by our standers!"

Sora laughed and said, "Come on, we need to choose our next worlds we need to go to."

A map dropped down from the ceiling.

Sora looked at Donald and Goofy, and said, "Your disguises will still work for two more days, so let's go to a world we couldn't go to before."

He tapped his finger on a world and a blue ring went around it.

I read the world's name aloud, "Domino City. Huh? That's a strange name."

Sora nodded and said, "It has some magic there, but not many people know about it."

Gazzy walked Iggy up to the map and said, "Come on Iggy! Choose another winner!"

Iggy placed his finger on the map and it lit up red.

Sora looked at it and said, "Port Royal. You guys get to meet Captain Jack Sparrow, but be warned, this place is a definate no go on wings. Jack is a pirate and will try to minupate you, if he finds out, and be warned he's not going to give up his compass without a payment of some kind."

Gazzy smiled and said, "Pirates! I get to meet pirates! Iggy you rule!"

Angel stepped up and looked at the map. She tapped at world and it lit up pink.

Kairi smiled and said, "Aragbia, it is. We get to see Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie."

Angel smiled and said, "I wanted somewhere a bit more dry, plus this place has a big open sky that goes on for miles..."

I looked at her and said, "You've been reading minds again, with out permission..."

Sora pressed a button the map went up.

He smiled and said, "We have our destiantions, let make it count!"

Riku looked at him and said, "More than likely the heartless will be in these worlds so be on your guard."

I nodded and said, "Then let's move."
