Chapter 5

The doors to the library opened, and Dalynx walked in.

"Zexion? You wanted me?" He asked, making sure Demyx was correct yesterday. From what he had gathered, Demyx had a bit of a reputation amongst the members of the Organization as being...not the most able of Nobodies. As Dalynx walked around the grand library, he heard a voice.

"Yes, Dalynx, come here, I'm in the back."
Dalynx did as he was told and followed the source of the sound to a back room, separate from the rest of the library. It held a desk, two chairs, and currently Zexion. "You know why you are here, yes?" Zexion asked, as he motioned for Dalynx to take a seat.

"Yes. You are going to try and figure out what Vexen couldn't, what made me do whatever I did to him"
"Good. Now, I've been doing a bit of reading, and what Vexen described doesn't match any of what I have in my spell books, meaning if it is magic, it's a type we don't have data on."

"Well if you don't have anything on what I did, how are you supposed to find out about it?"

"Simple. I'm going to try and trigger it again. Whilst Vexen might remember what he saw, if I can see it for myself, I'll be able to decipher it's mysteries that much easier. To that end, I'm going to have some Dusks perform the procedure Vexen did on you. Understand?" Zexion got up and led Dalynx out of the library. They stopped in the hall of empty melodies, and Zexion waved his hand, summoning three Dusks. Zexion stood on the platform, whilst Dalynx and the Dusks were on the floor. Zexion threw down a metal tube to one of the Dusks, identical to the one Vexen had used. The Dusks approached Dalynx, and one of them began inserting the metal tube into his chest. The white light came out of the tip, and it slowly went deeper and deeper. Suddenly, it started again. Dalynx's head and neck went limp. Zexion waved his arm, and twenty more Dusks appeared. Shadow arms started to erupt from Dalynx, one of them removing the metal tube and crushing it. Then, he went for the Dusks. The hands started ripping the Dusks apart, tearing them limb from limb, punching through them, lacerating them with their fingers and many other brutal methods of death. Once they were all torn and mangled, their corpses beginning to fade, two arms pushed down on the floor, elevating Dalynx's limp form to atop the platform. Two more arms went straight for Zexion's eyes, but as the plunged their fingers in, Zexion's body rippled, and then disappeared. Seeing the room now empty, Dalynx passed out on the floor again.

He woke up in the library, with Zexion sitting opposite him.

"Well, Vexen was right, you are absolutely brutal when triggered. The interesting thing however, comes in what the procedure was. Vexen was fed some lies about it to keep him quiet, but I have discovered something about that device. On any normal Nobody, it will not have any effect. It won't even go in. Why you ask? That device is meant to read someone's heart. This makes you especially interesting. You are definitely a Nobody, Vexen confirmed that from your body scans, yet you have at least part of a heart for this thing to read." Dalynx looked very confused.

"Well clearly whatever fragment of a heart I have does not want to be looked at, as that device triggers my transformation."
"Precisely. This can however, be used to our advantage. There is one other thing that can open the door to someone's heart. A Keyblade. If we were to team you up with Roxas or Xion, we could most likely get your transformations on command. It's either that or you learn to embrace your broken heart, and see if you can control your transformations yourself."

"So it's either stick with a Keyblade wielder, or learn from those who have hearts?"
"Yes. However, I will give you this piece of advice. If you plan on heading out and learning from the Somebodies, don't go in uniform. As you can imagine, we are not too well loved amongst them."
"Alright. Thank you Zexion." Dalynx left the library. He wandered around the halls of the Castle that Never Was, thinking. "As a Nobody, as in life. It seems I just don't fit anywhere. Heck, even when I lost my heart I was alone, without anybody else." Dalynx started remembering his Somebody's death.

He was sitting in the woods, as he normally did, when he heard a noise. He got up, and wandered, looking for the source of said noise. It sounded like some sort of gecko or chameleon, and as he was searching, the sound grew louder. He didn't even see it coming. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck as he fell. He rolled over in his last moments, and saw a giant lizard like creature standing over him.

Dalynx shook his head, and found his eyes were watering. He wiped them dry, then headed to the grey area. He sat down, and thought. Luxord then walked over to him.

"I take it lady luck has not been to kind to you, has she?" Luxord said, sitting down on the sofa with him.

"No, Luxord I presume?" Dalynx replied

"Yes. So, any chance of me getting to know what's got you like this?"
"You can blame Zexion for it." Dalynx answered.

"That can be done in most cases, care to elaborate?"
"You've heard about what I did to Vexen, yes? Well, Zexion just found out how I did it."

"And you didn't like what exactly about that?"
"I didn't like what it means for me as a Nobody. That's as much as you're getting out of me on the matter." Dalynx stood up, and opened a corridor out.

He re-emerged on top of the clock tower. Axel, Roxas and Xion were already there.

"Here we go! Thought you weren't going to show for a moment!" Axel said, as Dalynx sat down. Roxas threw an ice cream over to him, and Dalynx caught it. "Woah, woah, Dalynx! What's got you all blue?" Axel asked, looking at Dalynx's face. Dalynx sat there in silence for a moment, thinking. Then he sighed.
"You three, you are my friends right? So I can tell you this safely, yes?" All three of the Nobodies nodded. "Alright. Today, Zexion did a load of tests to figure out what made me flip and nearly kill Vexen yesterday. What he found..." Dalynx trailed off.

"Dalynx." Xion said, looking over at him. "You can tell us. We won't hold anything against you." Dalynx took in a deep breath, then exhaled.

"Apparently, I have a heart, or at least, the remnants of one. I'm not a Nobody, I'm not a Somebody, I don't know what I am." Dalynx put his hand over his chest. "I don't belong here, but I don't belong with the Somebodies either."

"Damn Dalynx...you know, if the Superior finds out, he'll probably kick you out." Axel said.

"No! I won't let that happen! I'm not losing my friend just because Xemnas says so." Xion shouted out. Dalynx chuckled weakly.
"So this is friendship, eh? When someone will put their very life at risk for you...it's so new, yet so perfect." Dalynx stood up. "I'm going to head back to the castle now. I have some business to attend to. Thank you all, for everything." Dalynx opened a corridor back to the castle. He started muttering to himself. "Damn it all. I'm better off just confessing to Xemnas and leaving, I'll head to the round room." Dalynx opened a corridor into the round room, unintentionally intruding on a conversation.

"Yes, we are to have the puppet fight with Roxas. We only require one Keyblade wielder, so to the victor shall go the reward of survival." Xemnas had said as Dalynx was entering.

"We could have postponed this, if it wasn't for fifteen, by joining her group of friends, he has made her more aware of her self, she is more likely to find out about Sora." Saix added. Dalynx heard this, and quickly left before he was noticed.

"That's it, I'll just leave tomorrow. I'll go and live in Twilight Town. I'll fit in with the Somebodies there, and I won't have to worry about the Organization any longer." Dalynx ran to his room, and tore a page from his diary. He scrawled out a letter to Axel, Roxas and Xion, explaining why he was leaving, but not to where. He then hid the letter in his coat, and walked around the castle. "Now for some unfinished business. They plan on trying to harm my friends, I'll treat them back in my way. There's no way I could kill Xemnas, so I might as well just set him back." Dalynx walked to Vexen's lab. At this point, everyone was asleep. He kicked down the door, and went onto Vexen's computer. "Let's have a look shall we? What was last accessed…replica program?" Dalynx started to read. "Since the retreats from Castle Oblivion, to avoid casualties, the replica program has been cancelled...only two successful replicas have been produced. Riku and...No. I. No. I will be inducted as the Organization's fourteenth member, and we will follow normal naming procedure for her. No way..." Dalynx looked then at the pictures of the two replicas, one was a silver haired boy, but the other...the other was Xion. "They…they made her? Why?" Dalynx continued to read. "The Organization will now have two Keyblade wielders for twice as efficient heart gathering. Update. No. I is becoming increasingly aware, and will most likely find out about Sora soon. It is recommended that she be terminated." Dalynx read aloud, getting angrier with each word. He then went to work, deleting every file that Vexen kept on his computer. All of his research notes destroyed. Dalynx then got up. "I'm done now…it's time to go." Dalynx opened a corridor, and went to Twilight Town.

He arrived, at the base of the clock tower. He looked up at it and sighed. When he turned however, he was greeted by someone in Organization uniform. He had silver hair, and wore a blindfold.

"Who are you?" Dalynx asked, ready to draw his weapon at any moment.

"A friend. Not of yours, but of someone close to you." The silver haired man stepped aside as you walked past him.
"You're not with the Organization are you?" Dalynx asked.

"No, I'm not."
"Just don't try and take me back to the Organization, that's all I ask." Dalynx said, as he walked past the silver haired man.

"I can agree to that."
"Good." Dalynx called forth some shadows to conceal him as he walked into Twilight Town. He wandered, all through the night and into the morning. The sun never really changed here, but he could tell. Dalynx, tired, eventually decided that the sewers would have to do. He cleared them out of any remaining heartless, then covered himself with shadows to stop anyone noticing him, and he went to sleep.
