(A/N: Chapter 17! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm proud of this chapter. Mainly because I finally got this chapter done and I made this chapter very interesting. At least for me. Lol. Anyways, I have some bad news. I really really REALLY hate to do this, but I'm going to include my personal OC into this story. My reason behind this is because I need to move the story along, but at the moment right now, there are a lot of blanks to fill. Especially the Organization XIII members. I thought as hard as I can to fill the rest of the members that were "hooded", but I was short one person. And so... well just follow the story and you'll see where I'm going with this. The reason why I hate this is because I remember saying in the first few chapters of the story, that I will make this story as close as parallel as I can to the canon of the story and this is sort of "breaking" that. On a better news, since im using my personal OC, I can make some action scene much more exciting. Other than all of that, I hope you enjoy the story! Thanks to four new followers who think that this story is great! As well, thanks to knarf2010, Hikari-kawaii1, Asia the Jester, lucky-im-terrified, and Fictionreader100 for favoriting this story! I apoligize for neglecting to give a shout out. I really am sorry and greatful. Anyways, reviews are always accepted wither they are negative or positive! So please leave a review! Thanks.)

Xehanort

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter," Xehanort replied as he turned around to see who it was.

The door opened to see that it was Xemnas who had entered into the chambers that had once belonged to him. He took a step in and then kneeled in front of Xehanort.

"Master," Xemnas paid his respects to him as he kneeled.

"What is it, Xemnas?" Xehanort replied amused.

"We finally have our thirteenth member," Xemnas reported.

"Ok, who did it bring?" Xehanort questioned.

"I suggest that you see for yourself, sir," Xemnas replied with respect.

Xehanort sighed with annoyance, "Fine. I guess I will see who it is."

Xehanort got up from his throne that he was sitting in as he walked past Xemnas. He walked down many various corridors before he entered into the Crooked Ascension. As the elevator started lowering, Xehanort started another conversation.

"How is member twelve?" Xehanort asked Xemnas.

"He is doing remarkably well. His new found power continues to grow as well as his darkness. I believe that he will be the strongest one out of all of us, but except for you master," Xemnas replied.

"Interesting… So it was the correct move to bring him into this world after all. Did you give him a name?" Xehanort questioned out of curiousity.

"No, sir. He came up with his own name," Xemnas replied.

"Oh? And what did Number Twelve come up with?" Xehanort replied.

The Crooked Ascension's door had suddenly opened.

As soon as the door opened up, both Xehanort and Xemnas continued his walk down a few corridors.

"Well, he said that he wanted to be called—," Xemnas continued but was cut off.

"Zellar…," A voice cut him off.

Leaning against one of the corner of the intersections of halls was a spikey, black-haired teen, which was similar to Sora's, with yellow eyes wearing an Organization XIII coat. His coat was covering his body, but he didn't put on the hood.

As both Xehanort and Xemnas both stopped and turned around as both of them raised one eyebrow in surprise. They saw that his neck was cut up and the jawline of this helmet was chipped and cracked as his face was cut, bruised, and swollened up badly.

"Well… was he that powerful Vanitas? Or are you just weak?" Xehanort replied to him.

Vanitas immediately put on his hood as he turned around and started walking away, "I just underestimated him."

And Vanitas left into a corridor of Darkness.

Xehanort muttered to himself as he continued his walk with Xemnas, "I highly doubt that."

As they continued their walk, Xemnas asked him, "Sir, shouldn't we be worried about Zellar if he becomes too strong?"

Xehanort waved his hand to dismiss his concern, "There is no need for concern about this Zellar fellow. I sense a great deal of potential and powerful Darkness within him, but he will not be able to surpass my strength and Darkness."

They finally reached to the center of the castle as they entered the Soundless Prison. The prison was a long rectangular room with several of cages that were filled throughout both sides of the room except for a distorted screaming coming from one the cages. There was nothing in the prison room except for one person that was standing in front of one specific cage.

That person was wearing the Organization XIII coat without the hood on. His hair was somewhat spikey but combed back as most of the hair fell down from the back of his head. The only hair that drooped down was two long strands of clumped hair that swayed next to his cheeks. His hair is a shade of cyan blue and his face had a scar, in a shape of an "X" that covered a little higher than the center of his face as the center of the scar was placed in between of the eye-brows. He has an oblong face with eyes that had a golden color.

Xehanort started walking towards that person who was guarding the prison cells.

"SaÏx," Xehanort called out to him as he came about ten feet close to him.

SaÏx responded with a bow, "Yes, my lord."

"How is Number Thirteen doing?" Xehanort asked.

"It seems that it's having a hard time getting things under control. It is fighting against your shadow that you implanted inside of Sora," SaÏx reported to Xehanort as he pointed to the body that was inside of the cage.

The body was wearing an Organization XIII coat as well with the hoodie on.

Number Thirteen was screaming in pain inside of the cage as it was squirming around the cage as if it was being possessed by some sort of demon. Number Thirteen's voice was inconsistent as it changed from two voices: a dark, distorted voice and a feminine shriekly voice.

Suddenly, Number Thirteen got up from the ground and jumped towards the cage in attempt of attacking Xehanort. It almost got its hands on Xehanort, but was Xehanort was too far away for Number Thirteen to get a grip on him.

All of a sudden, Number Thirteen staggered away from the cage as it pulled itself away from Xehanort.

In its dark distorted voice, it talked to Xehanort, "Sorry, sir. This thing is a lot tougher than I expected."

"It's fine. As long as you get control of it, that's all we need," Xehanort replied.

"I'm trying but I don't have enough strength to fully control it," Number Thirteen replied as it began to change its voice, "Nor will I give you the opportunity!"

Xehanort laughed as he sees Number Thirteen trying to fight and then moves his left hand to materialize his Keyblade and begins to channel his heart in his Keyblade.

"You WILL become one of us," Xehanort smiles villainously as he shoots a piece of his heart into Number Thirteen.

As soon as Number Thirteen was hit with Xehanort's piece of heart dead center of its chest, Number Thirteen stopped all movement and fell to its knees as its head slumped over hanging.

The whole prison turned silent.

And for a moment, there was nothing but silence.

SaÏx finally broke the silence with a question to Xehanort.

"My apologies, my Lord, but why do we need this puppet?" SaÏx asked Xehanort with respect towards him.

"Because we need another Keyblade wielder amongst our group," Xehanort answered his question, "Isn't that right, Number Thirteen?"

All of a sudden, Number Thirteen stood up from its position and looked at Xehanort it golden glowing eyes from within the shadow of its hood before it summoned the Keyblade that Xehanort wields.

In a distorted voice, it replied, "Definitely, my lord. The more the merrier, my lord."

"Good. Now if you don't mind, SaÏx, release Number Thirteen. Take it to Xigbar so that he can train it, prepare it for combat, and affiliated with our group and members. Xemnas, you go and check on Zellar and keep an eye in his progress. Very soon, we should make our move. Until then, you are all dismissed. I need to go run errand by myself," Xehanort commanded both Xemnas and SaÏx.

Both Xemnas and SaÏx bowed in respect of Xehanort's orders, and did what they were ordered.

Xemnas left the prison as SaÏx escorted Number Thirteen from its cell, until Xehanort was the only person in the prison.

As soon as he was alone, Xehanort walked towards the end of the prison until he hit a dark dead end wall with a torch on the wall next to the dead end. He lit up the torch to light up the dead end wall that had weird symbols on it. The symbols were as dark as space and were spread all over the wall. Xehanort placed his hand on a few of them as the correct symbols lit up from black to a bright white color as if he was entering a code.

Xehanort entered the code as the dead end wall moved and opened up a huge secret passage way that led downwards into somewhere else. Xehanort entered the passage as the wall, that had moved, replaced itself back to how it was.

Xehanort followed the passage until he had reached a door to an extra prison cell. He unlocks the door, with a key, and enters the cell to find an adult man tied up in chain cuffs hanging against the wall.

The man was about 25 years of age as he had spikey brown hair that would stick out from the top of his head, but the back and sides of his face had hair that was long and dripping down. The man was wearing an Organization XIII coat. His face was oval as he had deep sky blue eyes, but he had bags under his eyes and his body was getting unhealthily skinny.

The man looked up with a grim face and with an unwelcoming tone he called out to him, "Xehanort."

Xehanort smiled from the pain that the man was facing, "I believe it's time for me to take some more Darkness from you."

Xehanort moves closer to the man as he brings his right arm up and places his hand on the man's chest. The man pulsated as he started to scream in pain as a dark energy of Darkness started to leave his body. The man was struggling and squirming in pain as his life force was being sucked away as Xehanort continued for a minute.

Xehanort satisfied by the Darkness that he pulled from the man's body turned around and started to leave.

The man behind him was grunting and breathing heavily just before the man threw up bodily fluids and blood.

The man brought up his head after he vomited, "Damn you, Xehanort!"

Xehanort waved back a good-bye as he replied with a chuckle and a villainous smile, "Let's see how long you can survive like this before you die."

Xehanort open the prison door as he exited the prison and turned around to close and lock the doors with the key.

From within the prison cell itself, the man yells at him, "I'm going to get out here Xehanort! And when I do, I will meet up with Aqua and Ventus and we'll destroy you!"

Xehanort smiles as he replies in return, "I highly doubt that you'll be able to do that! Good luck….," he starts to walk back to his personal chamber as he laughs before muttering his name with a smile.

"Terra."

As Xehanort continues to walk, he can hear Terra crying in the distance from within the cell that was in the distance.
