"Um.....what's wrong?" Jinx asked.
"Nothing," I answered.
"Is it my name? Does it sound funny to you?" she asked giving me a look that I couldn't quite describe.
"No, it's not that. I was just thinking about something." I answered trying to smile....and yep I epic failed..... Jinx turn towards king Trident, and for a moment I felt a jolt of fear. Had she realized something before I could explain....would she have Trident lock me up? I didn't need that right now....
"Excuse me, your greatness, but I must show our visitor around the kingdom, now that he is a merman." Jinx said. A wave (wow water pun....) of relief rolled over me.
"Of course. I grant you permission." Trident answered.
Jinx smiled and grabbed my hand. At any other moment in my being I would have ripped away, but I didn't want to act different....
"Lets go," she told me.
We swam around the kingdom, and she showed me all everything.... "And this" she started to say, "is the reef where I lived."
I tried to keep my face as placid as possible, but the shock of it was writing its way into my contour. It reminded me of all the damage I had left at the castle, and a strange wave (another pun....) of anger ran through me. I could feel fire trying to break it's way through the water, but the water was to engulfing and killed it.
"What happened here?" I asked trying to sound indifferent.
"I don't know..." she replied. "I guess it was always this way. I can't remember."
"Did someone live here with you?"
"I don't really know."
"Why don't you know?" I asked. The fact that she was indeed a nobody was easy for me to see now....that still didn't explain the large amount of other nobody energy I felt.
"I... I don't know. I woke up in this reef so I figured this is where I lived." she said looking at me. She swam towards what I guessed was a bed and mirror, and I follower a bit behind looking at the damage. It was easy to tell that heartless had trashed the place.
"Don't you think that this place was destroyed by the heartless?" I asked wanting to know the extent that she knew about her own existence.
I got a shrug as a reply.
"Us with hearts are able to fight back. I believe heartless shouldn't be a problem.... Heh... Us with hearts, huh? You know, I shouldn't be saying such things." she said.
So she did know she was different.....this was going to make things a bit easier to explain....
She put her head down disrupting my thoughts.
"I wonder... Do people with hearts feel... I don't know... nothing? A certain emptiness and cold feeling in your body that leads to nothing? I don't feel, but I sense. I don't love, but I'm happy. Nothing's there. In my chest I mean."
"People with no hearts, might as well be dead. Because when they're dead... they are nobody. Am... Am I one? A nobody?" she turned towards me.
"Something is missing... Something. A missing piece. I don't know what it is but I know it's there somewhere in the world. Probably even in other worlds. My missing piece... does it bring light? Because all I see is darkness."
"Why do you tell me this?" I asked still trying to learn how much she knew.
"I sensed it....I don't know how to explain it, but I never felt it before...you and I are the same right?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I think you know more about this than I do...." she answered.
"Yes," I answered, "Yes I know a lot about nobodies...and you are right...we both are nobodies.I'm guessing you've had to hide yourself for a while, but there is a sanctuary for nobodies called Castle Oblivion in the World that Never Was."
"Castle Oblivion! Like the 13? The Organization 13 who terrorized all the world....their home? The world that only nobodies can access! It was deserted and destroyed years ago," she said.
"Yes Castle Oblivion, but it is not destroyed. It runs and is a sanctuary for nobodies as we search for our other halves," I answered.
"Other halves?" she asked.
Nobodies exist for no other reason than to find what they are missing, and when I say exist I am putting it in light terms....we don't really exist..."
"But Nobodies are evil! They are as bad as Heartless!" she nearly yelled.
"Why," I asked, "Have you ever known another nobody? Why do you believe nobodies are evil? I'm a nobody....."
"You can't be a nobody. You don't have an X in your name," Jinx answered definitely.
"My full name is Triskix," I answered, "I am the Castle's second in command...."
"The...the second! What are you doing here! Get away! Go back! This world is peaceful! Stay away!We don't need chaos! Get lost and never come back!" she yelled.
"I promise I am not here to do anything. In truth I did come to find a nobody who departed from the castle," I said calmly, "But just as I said I ended up in the wrong world."
"But...." she started, "So then it was just random....."
"There is no danger to this world or any other world at the moment besides these stupid heartless," I answered.
"How can I trust you," Jinx asked.
"You can't," I answered, "As second, I am the Leader's dog and am prone to spastic order impulses."
"But if you are still chasing after your friend why didn't you suddenly go?"
"I am stuck here at the moment," I answered, "In water I am not strong enough to open a portal. Also I have been feeling a large amount of lesser nobody activity meaning that they might attack soon. I don't feel any attachment to this world, but I would rather not have it thrown into chaos at this point in time, so I planed to destroy them."
"You would kill other nobodies..." Jinx asked.
"Yes," I answered, "If they get in the way of my plans I would kill another nobody in a heart beat."
"But I never felt any other nobody presences...." Jinx said.
"Lesser nobodies are weaker and are harder to sense than me," I answered, "Now then....I am off to take care of those stupid creatures, and then I am going home to Castle Oblivion."
"What about me?" Jinx asked.
"It's up to you if you want to join the Organization," I answered, "It is my job to extend invitations to all nobodies with a human form to enter the castle, but that doesn't mean they have to join. I noticed you are very well liked here, and if that suits you then that suits you. So what do you chose?"
"Hmm....Amaterasux, they said you would have answers...now what will transpire?" RaXi asked,
"The more important question here is what are we gonna do? Do we all just disperse and search every world until we find those buggers, or do we just stay here waiting for them all to come back?" I interjected, asking what will happen is useless, a person future can change in the blink of an eye, no one can prodict it.
Yet again another porthole opened and a girl hoped out, her face, she was friends with the second in charge and a light elemtal.... i can take her... it's a pity her name escapes me yet agian.
"Nyx, what happend?" Raxi ever the one to ask stupid questions.
"Lexian and Triskix have left the porthole, so some idiot decided to pull out of the effort and man if you had my hearing you'd be MEGA sick of all the yelling that goes on around here." I said
"We've found were Lexian and Akane are, though it looks like Akane won't come back without a fight." Nyx informed the rest in the room, i failed to mention such information seeing as i wanted to go out on my own for a while, the yelling in this castle is driving me crazy.
"And what about Triskix? Where's he?" i know i asked a stupid question seeing as this 'Elf-chic' knew where they were but who knew second in command might need a search party after him...
"We don't know but we do know another nobody is with him" -Nyx
"Is he gonna be ok?" RaXi seemed to posses emotions that we nobodies are uncable of, is that worry i hear in her voice?

Without warning Ximh pulled out of the portal. It set us all back with and instant amount of stress before the whole thing collapsed.
Nyx instantly began to yell at Ximh, and he yelled back. There never seemed to be a moment here where we could all get along and do something right the first time. Things had to be way more complicated here.
Everyone stood watching the argument between Nyx and Ximh. I never really liked watching arguments and this one was getting us nowhere.
It stopped when Ximh stopped Ayrax from disappearing, and Nyx got her final words in.
"Don't go anywhere I will be right back" She said opening a portal. I sighed and released the portal that I was beginning to open as an escape route. I needed time alone.
Without saying a word to anyone I walked around the corner and sat up against the wall letting my mind drift. I even let a few memories slid back into place.
I had been living in Twilight town for a week before the next member showed up to talk to me.
I was at the train station all by myself. I had told my new friends that I needed some alone time for a while. I stood by myself watching the never ending sunset, when that uninvited noise came from behind me.
This time the hood was down. His hair was red and spiky and his eyes were turquoise.
But before he spoke I stopped the memory from coming back. It took all my mental strength to stop it. I concentrated on my boots till it passed and was gone. There was however one word left in my mind:
Axel

After what had just happened with Lock, Shock, Barrel, Jack, and Rexikat, I was still on edge. Those brats that tried bringing Oogie back are digging their own graves since that gambling pervert won't listen to anyone unless he's trying to gain sides, I know from experiance when he was alive. I was also angry that something like this could happen just in this incident.
I walked out of the Graveyard and into the forest. I looked around with dull eyes at the certain things. Heartless everywhere within the forest...
This made me wonder what so many where doing here. "It's unusual for so many of you to be here..." I said to myself, "It makes me wonder..."
I heard a twig snap and I swung around, bringing my kama in hand. "Who's there?!"
Please continue?

I headed past the old castle like Leon told me until I felt Akane's presence.
Her keyblade started glowing, but it wouldn't go back to her unless I let it.
"So this is where she'd run off to..." I looked around. #IX was starting to test my patience, of which I had very little now.
I didn't think Triskix was going to show up anytime soon...so I'll figure this out myself.
Suddenly I saw her, she was with a boy with spikey blonde hair and a goofy, cocky grin plastered to his face, what seemed to be a demon, and...OOGIE BOOGIE?!
She must have brought him back...
Why would Triskix let someone with ties to Hades and Oogie into the Organization...he must have a reason.
"Akane...what are you doing..." I said as I appeared before her and her companions.
She glared at me, refusing to answer the question.
"Is this guy bugging you Akane?" Oogie chimed in. "Just leave it to me!"
he cackled as he stood between us.
"You think bringing back this pathetic bag of bugs will make a difference? Heh..." I slashed Oogie with my keyblade.
"A keyblade?! You in with that Sora brat?!" Oogie screamed as he lost more and more of his bugs.
"No...I can't even stand him..." Once the last of the bugs were gone, I turned my focus back to Akane whose glare had intensified.
"So tell me...#IX...why did you run here?"
"Why'd you follow me?!" she shot back.
"It would cause the Organization quite some trouble if news that the Organization was returning got out...so I've come to make sure you don't mess up..." I smirked.
