Earth- Sinclair Mansion
The Sinclair Mansion, a two story castle-like house built on the edge of town. Its inhabitants are orphaned sisters, Azalea and Violet. Daughters of a renowned scientist, Bruce Sinclair and his wife, Ivy, a very lovely lady who was rumored to have a sketchy past. They get just fine in life with each other and their small circle of friends.
Not too much could be said about the girls, they kept to themselves a lot. All that was known was that Azalea was the older sister and that both were known for their beauty and brains. At first glance, you wouldn't be able to tell they were sister. Violet had pure steel-grey eyes and long, layered midnight black hair while Azalea had golden green eyes and medium, razored, auburn hair. But both had lightly tanned skin, lean, muscular body types and soft feminine faces.
Midafternoon has them relaxing in the sitting room, Azalea tucked on one side of the couch, playing video games, and Violet curled on the other side, reading some of her favorite books. The house seemed rather large and empty for the two girls, but they seemed to enjoy it just fine. Violet looked up from her book in time to see one of her favorite characters on the screen.
"You're fighting Zexion?" She asked quietly, watching the screen. "I thought he wasn't in 2?"
"Final mix, special fight. I can take on the others lost in Castle Oblivion as well." She responded quickly, sitting up a little higher. "He's a great character, but a bitch to fight. I hate the book trap... No, no, no! Goddamnit."
"But he fights with books and illusions." Violet said and smiled at her sister's pain. Her head looked back towards the front door when she heard a light knock and it opening. "Sounds like Ian's here."
In walked a young man, known as Ian. Slightly darker tanned skin, warm chocolate brown eyes and dyed royal blue hair that hung just past his shoulder in a loose braid. He had been a friend of the girls for a while. He smirked at Azalea as she growled at the TV in frustration because the continue screen has popped up.
"Still trying to take on the Absent Silhouettes?" He mocked playfully as he sat between the two girls. Azalea just stuck out her tongue in response before clicking continue and getting into the fight again.
"Get back here you! I'm not losing this time!" She growled and focused on the screen. "Just a little…more… AHA! YES!"
The other two shook their heads and laughed to themselves at her overdramatic reaction.
"Can you imagine if he heard all the things you've said about him in every fight?" Violet pondered out loud.
"He'd want to kill me. As would…" She started counting on her fingers. "Everyone in the Organization except for Axel, Roxas and Demyx. I've cussed out everyone else while fighting them. That'd be kinda cool though, don't you think, Ian? Having them here, actually getting to meet them?"
"Cool, yeah, but also slightly terrifying." He replied.
"Well, I kinda wish it would happen. Just to have the experience."
They continued to talk for a while, watch movies and played a game or two. Young adults being kids, nothing more. Ian was actually spending the night with them tonight as they decided to bring out alcohol to drink. It was close to three or four in the morning when they retreated off to their rooms. Overall, it was another normal day for them.
Somewhere during the early morning, before the sun had managed to rise, Azalea had to deal with a rude awakening in the form of her phone ringing incessantly. It was her text tone going off constantly. She growled quietly, grabbed her phone and read the messages. She sighed, sent a text to Ian and Violet, got up and started to get dressed. She was out of the house in fifteen minutes.
The sun was now about halfway up the sky when Violet started to shuffle out of her room. She stretched and yawned all the way to the couch before flopping on it and pulling out her book to continue reading. Ian was already there, playing the same game Azalea had been before him, just his own save file.
"Any word on when she'll be back?" He asked Violet casually.
"Who? Oh, Azalea? No, not yet. But who knows?" She shrugged at the question. "I just hope she brings food when she comes back."
"Fair enough." He responded as he saved his game. "Well, I'm gonna run out and do some errands as well. Need anything while I'm out?"
"Other than a new book as I'm almost done with this one, not that I can think of."
He nodded as he stood, gathered his stuff and left the house. Violet was left alone with her book. Though she'd probably finish it soon. She turned on the TV for background noise as she continued to read.
The Castle That Never Was
Vexen had yet to leave his lab since the meeting. Still remembering the mocking voices of the other members, he worked diligently to create a pathway to the far off worlds. He growled to himself as the images of their taunting sneers continued to haunt him.
"I'll show them." He muttered to himself. "I'll prove them all wrong. And maybe I'll finally get the respect I deserve."
He never once left his computer, but luckily, it seemed to be paying off. As he continued to type, a path through darkness was trying to form in the corner. It'd last for a few seconds then fade away, a few seconds longer ad fade away again. He muttered to himself in frustration. He just needed to make it stable!
Roxas and Axel were at their usual spot in Twilight Town eating their favorite ice cream. They didn't have too many missions since Vexen's experiment had started.
"Hey Axel?" Roxas started after swallowing a bite. "Do you think it'd really be possible to find a new world?"
"Who knows?" He shrugged as he took a bite of his. "Why do you seem interested?"
"Just, maybe, I wouldn't mind a new scenery. Some of these worlds are just getting a bit boring now." Roxas said while lightly sucking on his ice cream bar.
"Got 'em all memorized?" Axel smirked and laughed at his best friend. Roxas hit his shoulder in response. "Well, I'm hoping for a bit a fun at these new worlds. With more stuff to do than to listen to Demyx's jam times or cards with Luxord."
"Everything is just feeling like it's on autopilot now." Roxas muttered under his breath as he watched the sun set.
Back at the Castle That Never Was, Xemnas had called a meeting for all present members. Only a couple were missing, Axel, Roxas, Larxene and Luxord. The rest were ordered to meet in the Grey Room. Vexen was the first there, holding a smallish computer in his hands and looking rather smug. The others gathered around him, most standing because Xigbar was laying down on one of the couches and taking up all the room.
"The floor is yours, Vexen." Xemnas motioned and took a small step back.
"Thank you, Lord Xemnas." Vexen bowed slightly at the leader than practically glared at everyone else. "I have managed to unlock a path of darkness to one of the far off worlds. As far as I can tell, the world is one of the biggest we will have ever seen."
Vexen started messing with his tablet, a very proud smile still glued on his lips. After a moment or two of silence, the tablet made an error like sound and Vexen's smile faded in a furrowed brow of confusion. A path of darkness formed right in the middle of the room, but appeared very unstable as it flickered rapidly. The scientist muttered to himself in frustration right as the path disappeared.
"What's wrong, Vexen? Everything not working the way you were hoping?" Zexion quietly spoke from beside him, a smirk lightly playing on his lips.
"Everything will be fine in a moment." He snapped back, lightly hitting the tablet. "It just needs to stabilize."
Xemnas took a step forward, trying to look at the tablet when its screen lit up in a pale red color and made another error sound. Except it kept going off this time. Before anyone had a chance to react, a path opened up like a trapdoor randomly. Saix, Marluxia, Xigbar and Zexion fell through the floor and disappeared, just like the paths.
Earth
It was midafternoon when Azalea walked back into the house. Ian was still out and Violet had yet to move from the couch. Though she had finished her book and was now watching That 70's Show. The older sister sat down beside her and place a brown bag of food on her lap and a drink on the coffee table.
"Figured you wouldn't say no to some McDonald's." Azalea stated as she started to unwrap her own food.
"You do love me!" Violet replied in a slightly higher pitched voice. It didn't take long for her to unwrap the food and start devouring it.
"I know you're binge watching right now, but here soon, could I play more Kingdom Hearts. I'm getting close to the Saix fight and I just wanna get that over with."
"Yeah, after this episode?" Violet replied right after swallowing a bit of food. "It's about halfway over."
Azalea nodded and finished up her burger. They watched the episode together, Violet being the one to laugh a little harder at the jokes. About fifteen minutes, they switched control. Azalea sat upright and focused on the screen. Riku's voice could be heard.
"I can sense Saïx. He's using something to boost his power. If we can
figure out his power source, we may be able to use it, too."
"Only you could have made it this far in one piece...Roxas."
"That's getting really old!"
"Yeah! He's Sora!"
"Different name, same fate."
Azalea paused the game on Saïx's face and looked over at Violet.
"Think I got this?" She asked with a small smirk.
"You definitely got this." She nodded back.
Azalea unpaused the game and waited for the small scene of the camera zooming in on Saix's face to be over with.
BA-BUMP
They looked at each other right as Azalea paused the game once more, the screen on a close up of Saix's face. They looked back out towards the front door in confusion, though it didn't sound like someone had knocked.
BA-BUMP! THUD!
They finally got up off the couch and went to investigate. So far, there was nothing to be seen and the house still felt rather empty. They continued to look around when they both heard a very quiet, but very odd, noise. Almost like something opening up. They looked at each other then finally looked above them. A blanket of moving darkness covered the ceiling. They had time to react, but they were frozen in their spots as three bodies fell from this darkness and landed on the girls in curious positions. As well as an 'omph' and a thud heard from the living room.
Azalea had landed on her back with a tall, light blue haired man on top of her with an 'x' scar between his eyes. Violet had curled into a ball as the shortest of the intrusive group had landed on top of her. Another person, whose gender was hard to determine right away, had landed in between the group on their stomach. And a voice could be heard from the living room.
"Coulda been worse, I'm good. Not moving from this spot, but good." A male voice had groaned.
The front door opened after a couple of knocks and Ian walked in on the awkward scene. He looked at the group and almost froze. Azalea and Violet opened their eyes and quickly shifted around. Violet flipped over the guy that landed on her and head him in a chokehold while Azalea pulled a knife out and slowly pushed off the guy on her.
"What's going on?" Ian asked, stammering a little.
"How the hell should we know?!" Azalea growled a bit. "They fell out of the ceiling!"
Azalea took in a deep breath as she put away the knife. Breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly before putting away the knife and quietly walking off in a attempt to calm down. It wasn't hard to tell the intruders were just as confused as they were.
"What the fuck?" Violet stammered as she slowly let go off her captive. "Who the fuck?!" She pointed at them and made a very confused face. "Where the fuck? And why the fuck do you look familiar?"
"They're from a video game." Ian said as he was just staring at her, giving Violet an 'are you serious right now?' look.
Azalea was in the sitting room, walking around and giving an odd look to the man wearing an eye patch lying on their couch. She shook her head and looked at the TV screen. Saix's yellow eyes glaring back at her. She smiled at the small x shaped scar between his eyes… Her head shot up ad fearful look was in her eyes as she ran back into the other room. Just in time for both girls to shout.
"ORGANIZATION THIRTEEN!" It was in perfect sync as the pointed at the group still on the floor.
"Saix, Marluxia, Zexion and Xigbar…* Azalea muttered under her breath as the three finally pulled themselves up.
They towered over the group, Marluxia the tallest, though only just. Each one glaring or studying the people in front of them. Violet and Azalea were silently regretting their violent reactions as Saix started walking a bit closer to them, his face set in an unemotional sneer. Ian had become frozen in his spot, though he kept a very calm façade. Violet and Azalea, on the other hand, looked very slightly nervous.
"And how do you know who we are?" He half growled in a demanding way.
"Well, ya see…" Azalea started then looked at Violet with a very confused expression.
"Hey, Saix! You're on their screen." Xigbar called out from the living room.
Saix looked in the direction of Xigbar's voice with a cold, emotionless glare then back to the girls. Marluxia was near the same expression while Zexion was more studying them. The Luna Berserker started walking towards the sitting room, the other two following. Violet, Azalea and Ian were still half frozen for a moment before they slowly followed as well. Saix was staring at the screen with himself staring back. Zexion looked as if he was studying the objects in the room.
"Start explaining." Saix said as he turned to look at the group peering in from the other side of the wall.
