Triskix: What I do with Traitors
I was trying to keep perfectly calm. There was no reason to explode and have the entire castle die for one little misfit who ended up trying to kill me. That brought me back to the thoughts of Roxas. Dam I hated that guy, and he pretty much turned traitor to the Organization as well. I felt Anger’s fires run the length of me screaming out for me to kill that childish traitor.
But then again……Axel……he betrayed the Organization too in a way…. I slowly sealed off the thoughts and began to look at things the way they were. Sharp memories of my anger were the only things that seemed to turn up. There was a reason Akane hated me to begin with, but for the longest time I wished to just ignore it…..I guess I couldn’t do that anymore. I sighed and watched a bit of scenes play out.
“Hey guys! Let’s train outside to castle today. How does that sound?” Axel asked.
“Fine,” I answered.
“Great!” Akane’s sharp voice cut in.
“That sounds good,” Deidrex answered.
I felt my nails dig into my skin. I had always hated sharing Axel’s time with Deidrex and Akane……but there was nothing I could do about it. Axel had chosen the three of us…..but that didn’t mean I couldn’t demand a bit more.
“So where are we going then?” I asked following as close as possible. Akane tried to trip me, but I shoved her forwards. She knocked into Deidrex and it had the effect of a row of dominoes, I laughed to myself but stopped as I caught Axel’s glare.
“Well I figure we’ll go to some volcanic place, and I show you all how lava makes diamonds,” Axel answered.
“Real diamonds???” Akane asked.
“No fake ones,” Deidrex laughed.
“Yep the plastic ones we see all the time at Oblivion Mart,” I said rolling my eyes.
Axel couldn’t help but laugh at this one. I smirked, but Akane looked ready to sizzle into ash.
“And you tell me I have anger management problems,” I smirked.
“Shut up pyro-freak,” Akane answered.
“You shut up you fire-whore,” I shot back.
“Both of you shut up,” Deidrex said.
“HEY enough,” Axel growled, “Kids don’t need to talk like that.”
“Sorry Axel,” I answered.
“Ya what he said,” Akane answered.
Axel sighed, but opened a portal that we all walked through. Deidrex was the first to come through.
“It’s an active volcano,” Deidrex said, “Still even has lava bubbling. A perfect experiment.”
“Very good Deidrex,” Axel answered, “Now then. Who can tell me how diamonds form?”
Akane raised her hand, but I shot off a bit of fire at it. She screamed and put it down. I raised my hand.
“Triskix?” Axel asked.
“It’s very simple. When lava cools, the molten rock begins to crystallize carbon causing diamonds to form. The longer it is left to crystallize by the heat, the larger the diamond. Also, impurities such as dust and debris can sometimes enter the diamond discoloring it and causing it to lose value.
“One of the rarest diamonds in the worlds is called a heart diamond. It is crystallized remains of a heartless. After a while the other parts of the heartless break away forming a solid crystallized heart shard worth a fair amount anywhere in the worlds,” I answered smirking at Akane.
“Show-off jerk,” Akane answered.
“Whiney brat,” I smirked.
“Bakas……” Deidrex commented.
“All of you,” Axel sighed putting his hands up, “Will you just give it a rest?”
“No way!” I answered, “I’m going to become the strongest nobody that ever was…..I’ll even beat up Xemn-“
I was cut off as Axel put his hand over my mouth.
“Enough Triskix,” Axel said sharply, “Is that all you want in life? To be the best? Of what? Not existing? You should learn that the mission of any nobody is to find their heart Triskix….”
“Is it wrong to not have a heart?” I asked backing away, “I defy these worlds…..As long as there are still nobodies around….I’m going to stay a nobody…..”
“I bet you wouldn’t know what to do with a heart,” Akane laughed.
“Would you?” Deidrex asked uninterested with the conversation and now looking down the volcano.
“Of course I would!” Akane answered.
“Ya you would probably go insane and kill a bunch of people,” I answered.
“Shut up,” Akane answered.
“Triskix what would you want other than a heart?” Axel asked.
“I want to see everyone have a heart…..and only then would I accept one,” I answered laughing, “But it’s not like hearts are going to spit out of this volcano heh….”
“That indeed,” Axel answered, “Now then…..it looks like this volcano will go into dormancy for a few years….”
“So we can’t do the experiment?” Deidrex asked.
“Not unless you want to cause this entire island to sink into the ocean…..which would have the superior after all of us heh…..”
“So then we just came here to see it then?” Deidrex asked sounding a little let down.
“No diamonds?” Akane asked.
“No hearts,” I said to myself.
“Alright back to the castle then,” Axel said opening a portal.
“Aw let me just go look to see if they are diamonds,” Akane whined and ran off.
“She’ll probably get lost,” I smirked.
“Ah yes the Triskix you go with her,” Axel answered.
“Hey! Heck no!” I rebelled.
“Triskix you wouldn’t want to leave a nice little lady now would you?” Triskix asked.
“Shut up Axel,” I answered walking off to the direction where Akane had run off.
I soon found her sure enough. She was looking into the mouth of the volcano. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“Come on pansy,” I said, “There aren’t any diamonds or hearts here.”
“Aw I just want to see…..” Akane answered.
“You’re too childish,” I answered, “You’re not even fit to be in the Organization……you act as if you have a heart….”
My anger flared up, and before I could think I pushed Akane into the volcano. Fire exploded all around, but soon it died down. Axel and Deidrex came running, but they stopped when they saw the volcano.
“Triskix…..you sealed the volcano……was Akane in there?” Axel asked.
“Yes,” I answered, “And don’t say anything. In this Organization there is no reason to have a weakling who fantasizes daily and acts as if she had a heart…..You said yourself that nobodies look for their hearts…..well…….I DON’T WANT ONE IF IT MAKES ME WEAK!”
I stormed off and opened my own portal away. I ended up in my room, but sealed it completely away with every seal I knew…..what I didn’t know…..was that was the last time I would ever see anyone….when I sealed off my room…..most of the Organization members were being targeted by Sora and Riku…..I would never see any of the Original 13 or for that matter any of their apprentices I had become friends with again…..
By the time I had unsealed my room…..weeks had passed……and as I walked through the tower….I learned what had happened in my absence…..
I opened my eyes again feeling a flare up in my fingers. In my mind it was very clear…..I had been the traitor…..I was the one that ran away…..I was the one that was weak…..
“So what are you going to do Triskix?” someone asked.
“Traitors die……but we’re nobodies and can’t technically die…..Akane will be grounded from leaving the castle for five months and during that time, she may not have any privileges or anything……she will be watched over by cameras I’ll have someone install……but she won’t die….no…..I’ll make her life a lot worse than death……” I answered, and then quietly I said to myself, “Because that is what I did for me….”
Walking around the halls you could feel a sense of calmness radiating off the walls. My thoughts drifted to the sea, then back to Akane. I couldn’t help but to feel sorry for her. I know I can’t feel but I still have the memory of feeling, or emotions. I couldn’t believe that she thought that Triskix would do something like that, or that she would think I would let something like that happen. The past is called the past for a reason. Ten years ago I didn’t want to think of what I would do to get everyone back, but now after so many things happened.
Sighing to myself I continued on with my internal ranting. I didn’t even like the idea of fighting any more. Namine… I wished she was here now. She always knew the right thing to say to calm everyone down. I wished that I could do that, and then maybe the fight between Triskix and Akane would be better.
Seeing her stuck in that room nagged at my conscience. I knew Triskix and Lexian would not like it but… I wanted to go in there. Yes she attacked us, but she was just confused. She had to understand that Lexian and I wouldn’t let that happen and even Triskix wouldn’t do that. Thinking of those things I could almost see Namine smiling at me, deciding I would do that later I continued on.
Walking down the reminder of the hall way I heard voices. Lexian and Xemmsur it sounded like, hearing their words I thought of something I used to do in the past. Masking my presence, I disappeared into a portal to only to pop out from behind him saying, “Lexy-ian!” Throwing my arms around his neck I popped out from behind his neck, on my tip toes I looked over, smiled and said “Hi!”

After everything happened, Akane was brought back to Triskix and I was out of Oogie's place. Why she was trying to torture me for information, it was kinda odd, but I figured it wasn't my business. I still wasn't done with Halloween Town though and needed to head back. I turned to leave. "I'm gonna go back to Halloween Town. I hadn't exactly finished what I went there to do," I said to Rexikat.
But, she needed to tell me something and grabbed my arm. "Wait. I need to talk to you sometime."
I stared at her hardly. Why? was the question I thought, but I replied, "Fine," then leaving back to Halloween Town.
I teleported right to the place I was before Akane basically kidnapped me with that guy Oogie. Nothing changed. Heartless seemed to be gathering and surrounding everywhere. "Why are you here..." I asked myself.
I started to walk and they peeked at me from behind the dead trees until I got to the portals to the other towns. I don't get why Akane tried to get information out of me. And what was up with Rexikat?
The more I thought of things made my head hurt. "Well, I gotta check Christmas Town..."

Dei: What is up with you and the girls, Xait?
Xait: ... What do you mean?
Dei: Akane pretty much tortured you for information, RaXi mistook you for Marluxia, Vexe was kinda nervous talking to you during the fight, and Rexikat is trying to talk to you about how similar you two are.
Xait: That doesn't mean anything, they could be just trying to be friendly, make an honest mistake, or in hot-head's case, hate my guts.
Dei: ... It's surprising. I never took you for a ladies' man.
Xait: ... T_T
