Ch. 9* ☆*~~~*☆

Location: Mysterious Tower, Twilight Town

“Still not any good at that.” She laughed, attempting to shake the pins and needles from her legs at the rough landing in the courtyard.

“Hey! What are you doing here!?”

She looked over her shoulder, standing full height, only one of the figures stood taller than herself. So many different Keyblades greeted her, connected to those before her. Her eyes connecting with two blue ones staring in shock before two Keyblades disappeared and the sound of racing feet against the lawn echoed her own.

Racing forward she held out her arms a laugh escaping her as she caught the two that ran to greet her, almost knocking her off her feet if she didn’t brace herself hard, instead, lifting them up with tears in her eyes.

“Aqua! Ven!”

“Lio!” They called back.

Lio held them tight, unable to get words out as she tried to figure it she wanted to cry or laugh at the fact she was able to actually hold them again.

“Oh, my stars you’re both okay!” Lio finally managed as she released her hug only to cup their faces. Unable to realize that she was indeed holding them. “Right? I’m so sorry! I should have been waiting for you.”

“Don’t be sorry,” Ventus replied as she wiped tears from his eyes, only to pull them in for another quick squeeze.

Aqua stepped back, glancing the taller woman up and down, “You look amazing.”

Lio let out a bark of a laugh, looking to her new attire of a white halter, black tights with splashes of gold throughout. Her hair no longer curled tight to her head, instead hung down to her mid-back, yet that familiar pink papou leaf held its post proudly.

“It’s so good to see you all are doing fine.” She smiled before her eyes turned to those still staring in confusion. “To see everyone.”

Still holding tight to Aqua and Ventus Lio made her way to the others surprising them all by knowing everyone’s name. standing just underneath Axel.

“And how do you know this Ms. Luminary?” Axel inquired, almost stating the woman in the eye considering the height they both had over the others.

“I had someone watching you all when I couldn’t, Lea.” She replied before adding with a huge smile, “Although I’m used to you being called Axel.”

This seemed to satisfy the other man, only to find the Luminary’s gaze on something away from the group. Following it to find that Olix was still standing back towards the stairs to Yen Sid’s office.

“Olix,” Lio called, watching the other woman jump in surprise at her name being called. “Are you just gonna stand over there?”

Sheepishly Olix moved over to the group, her head low looking up to the Luminary for the first time beyond her lashes.

“So you did all of this?” Lio inquired an eyebrow arched, appearing to look down in the other woman, “You left the castle, got involved in this entire thing, and found all of these wielders, all on your own?”

Sora jumped forward, “Wha...wait Olix…” The other was silenced at Riku‘s arm before him.

Before anyone realized Lio had wrapped both of her arms around Olix, hugging the smaller woman to her chest, letting out a loud laugh as she pulled Olix off her feet.

“Thank you! You did so much more than I asked of you.” Lio cheered, setting Olix down as she looked the other over, cupping the others face trying to find any signs of harm, only to smile when she didn’t. “And you’re hair it’s so cute! I love it!”

Olix blushed deeply looking down to her feet, “Thank you.” Her eyes turning to Lio finally able to meet the other's gaze. “But I wasn’t able to find the last one.”

Lio placed a hand on the woman’s shoulder, “You’ve already done so much for me, more than enough. That one will be a little harder to find.  It’s time for me to finally do my job as Luminary. I never meant to put so much on you.”

Lio glanced down as she felt a hand within her own, turning to find Aqua there.

“Is it…”

Lio placed a comforting hand on Aqua’s, “He was fractured the most. There so many pieces of him scattered and for so long. But we’ll find him.”

Aqua nodded in agreement, she, of course, trusted her Luminary, but the tremble in the other hand made her worry.

*

“There you are.” Aqua called stepping outside, “I should have known that you’d be out here.”

“Is that so?”

Aqua sat down beside Lio on the stairs, both gazing up, “You’d always go star gazing back at the castle.”

Lio let out a giggle, giving a slight shrug, “Really never thought of it. It’s just so nice to see them again.”

Aqua nodded as they both stared at the sky, only now finding that Ventus was beside them. The trio looking to the sky in silence, trying to find words to explain what each of them went through and to apologize for not relying on one another. Of apologies to faults not their own and how they’d make this right.

“...I guess now would be better late than never.”

Lio turned to the other, only to find a multi-colored star before her on a chain, “What’s this?” She inquired as she held out her hand allowing Aqua to place it in her hand, finding that there were five pieces that made up this star, one of blue, one of green, an orange, a pink and the top point white.

“It was supposed to be a welcome home gift, but with everything that happened I wasn’t able to give it to you.” Aqua explained.

“Aqua made one for all of us.” Ventus smiled holding up his own green one, while Aqua showed her own blue one.

Lio stared at theirs before looking back to the one in her hand, finding they the blue and green were the same as theirs, almost as if the pieces were taken from the others, “They’re amazing!, they match your tethers so well.”

Aqua leaned over, pointing towards the pink piece, “I tried matching it as close to your leaf as possible.”

Lio smiled down to the star within her hand, her thumb brushing over the orange piece above the pink piece. Only to find Aqua’s hand on her own, looking up to find tear-filled eyes greet her own tear-filled ones.

“We’ll get him back.”

Lio didn’t even attempt to stop her sobs as she felt Aqua reach out, pulling the Luminary close, resting Lio’s forehead against her shoulder. Feeling Ventus take her free hand holding it tight as she shuffled close to the two women leaning against the Luminary, only to fill her arm wrap around him.

The trio unaware that someone was watching them.

“Olix,”

The woman turned to find that Mickey, Donald and Goofy were approaching her. “Yes?”

“Have you seeing Aqua, Ventus and Lio?” Mickey asked.

“Master Yen Sid wants to go over plans.”

Olix glanced outside at the trio, before turning back to the three, finding they had followed her gaze, “Let’s give them a little more time. It’s been so long since they were last together.”

Olix had taken the time to pull Aqua and Ventus aside earlier, explaining that  Lio had watched all of them be stripped away from herself. The sleep that the Luminary was placed in did not stop her from remembering the others, but Lio never did get a proper chance to grieve. Not for her teacher that had betrayed her, not for the loss of Eraqus, and not for her Wielders.

“Please allow her this.”

*

The Luminary stood before Yen Sid taller and more alert, everyone ignoring the red eyes that were finally able to shed tears.

Lio called to the room, “It’s also welcoming to return to so many new wielders, as well as three new Keyblade Masters.”

“Yes, of course, I believe that you are up to speed thanks to Olix.” Yen Sid replied looking to the woman standing further back.

“Yes, and I would like to speak to you about Sora.” Olix stated looking to the young Keyblade Wielder. “Sora please come here.”

The brunette stepped from between Kairi and Riku moving to stand beside the Luminary, “Yeah…”

He expected to be scolded but instead found a hand on his shoulder.

“You have burdened so much, time and time again. I’m so sorry that I was not here to stop this unfair treatment.” Lio sighed softly, those pink eyes seeming to find a common ground, sincerely apologizing for the treatment of the other.

Her gaze suddenly turned to Yen Sid her shoulders back and head high, “I wished that Ansem the Wise was here as well, but for the time being, I will have to address you, I want to first thank you for watching after everyone in my absence, Master Yen Sid. However I will not excuse your treatment of Sora, nor anyone else that has been affected by this.”

This seemed to take the entire room back, only for the Luminary to continue before anyone could interpret her.

“I understand that you have trained His Majesty, and it has been some time since you’ve trained, but all students are different. And a student that is constantly overlooked and given unclear instructions will begin only to cause doubt within their ability and themselves. Sora has been through so much.” Lio replied, facing the man, “More than most here after all this is done I would ask that you reconsider how you train him, and allow for him to take the mark of mastery again. For I will also want to witness him.”

“Can she do that?” Goofy gasped.

“As Luminary Lio can call for a student to take the Mastery as many times as she wants. She may not be able to give Sora the status but her vote for those to take the test often outweighs the Master.” Aqua explained.

“Really Lio?” Sora gasped looking up to the woman.

“I see no reason as to why not.” She smiled, a hand to his head, “You’ve got quite a bright light in you star shine.”

“Well that’s all good, but what about this whole Xehonart situation?” Axel inquired.

“We’ll be taking the fight to him.” Lio stated, turning as she reached out to Olix, who had stepped forward. “Olix wasn’t just watching you all.”

Olix held up her orb, the light in the room draining as a figure of an elaborate chessboard appeared. “There will be thirteen vessels for Xehonart and twelve of us.”

“Thirteen? Not sure if you remember Olix the organization is gone.” Axel stated.

“Those were trials in a sense. There are still a few that have not returned to themselves. Only a few have return to themselves, there are still seven uncounted for. Xehonart will be joining in this fight as well.” Olix explained before turning to Lio, “I also wanted to speak with you of Vexen, um Even.”

“I can’t make any promises but I’ll see to it.” Lio smiled.

“Why bring that guy back?” Axel huffed.

Olix smiled weakly,  “We’ll need his help with helping the others return too.”

“Wait you can’t mean…”

Lio turned to Axel, “Those three are also my charges, all of them Namine, Roxas and Xi…” She stopped at a shake of Olix’s head. “They will not just be casualties for Xehonart’s greed. I promise.”

*

“Everyone ready?” Lio called, looking upon her group of Wielders. “Remember the plan, he will try to separate us, the Graveyard is large. We will all return home together!”

The group nodded in understanding as Lio held out her hands alongside Olix as they both cast a teleportation spell to the Keyblade Graveyard.

Location: Bad Lands

“Guard up! Everyone! He will make the first attack.” Lio called, leading the group through the Graveyard, Aqua, Riku and Mickey beside her.

“Do you hear that?” Olix asked.

“Hear what?” Goofy asked, as everyone’s guard tightened on their weapons.

“They’re very loud today.” Olix muttered as Lio glanced over her shoulder immediately understanding, that only the two of them could hear the silent voices.

“They’re crying,” Lio explained waving a hand as she lifts a few Keyblades just outside the Graveyard to stand upright again. “They feel the battle just like us, and judging by how loud they are, Xehonart and the others are close.”

Almost as if summoned them, the man appeared, with his own army.

“Luminary, so wonderful for you to join us again.” Xehonart chuckled.

Lio’s grip on her staff tightens, only to find Aqua standing beside her. 

“I’ll only ask you this once, stop what you’re doing!” Lio barked, her eyes wavering towards the two men she had last seen before she was placed asleep.

Xehonart chuckled as he rose his hand from behind his back, “We’re well beyond that.” He called snapping his fingers.

Riku gasped as he noticed the puddles of black around them, “Everyone!”

“They’re getting away!” Axel called parrying an attack from one of the base heartless.

“Worry about those in front of you!” Aqua called striking away a few from Ventus back.

“Lio,” Olix called.

“Yeah two of them.” Lio replied smashing two away from Sora, taking the boy's hand. “Care to brighten this place up?” She smiled tossing the other up, only for him to brighten the battlefield, with what could only be described as an amusement park ride.

The others quickly following through with the attacks. Managing to clear out the enemies before them for the moment.

“Everyone okay?” Mickey asked, getting affirmations from the rest of the party, as they entered the actual Graveyard.

“Ven?” Lio called noticing the blond staring at something. Only to turn following his gaze along with Aqua as they both gasped.

“Terra.” Ventus called.

Lio and Aqua found themselves chasing after the young one. Only to both notice something off as both raced before Ventus, stopping Ventus and glaring at the man before them.

“You’re not Terra. We won’t fall for this.” Lio sneered, her staff pointed toward the imposter.

“Let our friend go!” Aqua growled, Keyblade at the ready.

The imposter chuckled as he summoned his own Keyblade, his hair turning white. “Not going to fall for that twice?”

Lio twirled her staff as it shone pink, transforming into gauntlets. The woman rushing forward, pulling back as she hit hard, only to connect with the keyblade of the man before her.

“Guess you do learn.” He chuckled in that deep voice that didn’t belong to Terra.

“Where is Terra!” Lio growled.

“So worried about the one that you lost, you can’t even protect the ones you have with you.”

Lio gasped as she saw the wave of heartless coming towards them. Whatever warning she wanted to call out to them was cut off as the noise of the creatures became too loud for her to scream over.

Pushing the imposter in Terra’s body away, she ran towards Aqua and Ventus, only to stare as they were stripped away from them. Her heart sank! Not again!

The woman quickly ran towards the others, she would not lose anyone else! Each step seemed to find her foot sinking in quicksand, when she felt a snag on her arm. Turning to find the imposter before her, his white hair returned to the brown it was supposed to be.

“Lio please…”

Lio’s panic-filled mind faltered for just a moment at that familiar voice, only for her to find a hand to her throat, stopping her long enough for tendrils of heartless to hold her in place. Forcing her to watch as the barrier that Olix had put up to protect Kairi and Axel shattered, the three gone in a flash of black. 

Lio could only watch as it all happened again. She wasn’t strong enough! Eris was right, she wasn’t fit to be anyone’s Luminary.

“I’m not strong enough.”

Lio’s head snapped, that wasn't her voice that uttered the words. The woman saw a bright flash, watching as Donald cast a Zetta flare an attack that took the other's life to get rid of the creature in Terra’s body.

Her eyes turning to a collapsed Sora, Riku attempting to protect both of them just a little longer. They kept fight! She was being so selfish! She was scared, but she had to be strong for them! For her Keyblade wielders that went too long without her.

“Sora!” She barked, pulling an arm from the tendrils holding her. “Sora! Don’t give up on us now! You have made it through so much!” She growled a hand wrapped around another few tendrils ripping it away, as she pulled herself out, of the darkness, only to watch as Riku was struck down.

The woman rushing over as she felt her body colloid with Sora’s, holding him close.

“You’re not gonna give up on me now. I won’t let you back down. You have such a bright future.”

Ch. 6 ☆*~~~*☆

Location: Castle that Never Was

There was something about the Organization that deeply confused Olix, she couldn’t exactly place her finger on it. Yet the more time she spent existing with them the more the feeling nagged and lingered around her. Most of the members she didn’t feel so strongly or indifferent towards, but at the same time she felt drawn to them.

Such as Marulixa and Larxenze, she knew they were plotting against Xemnas, their actions never seeming pure to the man but she never acted on it. It wasn’t her right to provide that information and she was never requested to give it so she kept silent about it.

She preferred to stay clear of Xigbar and Luxord, something about the men made images of a sun being overshadowed by a moon, an eclipse of darkness taking over something so wonderful and bright. Such as a night sky void of stars.

Vexen, Zexion, Luxord, and Xaladin all seemed to be living lives that were just repeats, ghosts stuck in motions from long ago. Despite a passion being there, there was no emotion, no feeling, no heart behind it.

She enjoyed Demyx’s carefree attitude but she knew that he was hiding something. Something she did not care to go after.

There was also Saix, she seemed drawn to him for some reason other than constantly being forced at Xemnas’s side and often within his company. The duo often spent quite some time together, she always felt the lingering gaze of the man that did not trust her, that was wary of her. It was the same gaze he often gave Xion and Roxas. One of longing to be with them, or perhaps be them.

Xion and Roxas were two of the only being she did not become wary of, they were sweet, reminding her of a person she knew long ago, or maybe it was a dream of someone she knew. She wished to get close to them but Axel often made it difficult. She didn’t feel the same gaze that Saix gave her when she was with Xemnas, but it was cautious as if he were worried about the two younger ones.

She was never allowed to get close to them either way, as Xemnas often kept her away from them, she never understood why. Yet then again Xemnas was one of the strangest, he treated her very fragile, often times she would see a linger in his eye for something she couldn’t see, perhaps a memory that also did not belong to him.

A few times he seemed to have slipped when calling for her, a woman’s name that made Olix freeze in her steps, only to realize that it was not her own, but she couldn’t help but respond to it. 

“Olix.” 

The rough familiar voice of Saix called to her as she had just returned from a recon mission with Demyx. “Yes?”

“Xemnas wishes to see you.” The golden eyes glared to her, it often sent the others in fear, but she saw the sadness behind them too many times to be frightened. “Now.”

“Yes, of course. I can have my paperwork finished afterward.” She didn’t care to get on Saix’s bad side often, even though their first interaction she was able to stop him with no troubles.

“Number 8 will follow up,” Saix stated, getting a groan from Demyx. “Go now.”

Olix gave Demyx an apologetic gaze before whisking herself away, as she moved through the empty halls she just barely managed to faze her way through Xigbar hanging from the ceiling. “Pardon me.”

“Oh where are you into a rush to?” Xigbar chuckled, getting over the fact that she had moved through him, a sensation no one got comfortable with when she did it.

“Xemnas has requested me.”

“Oh the big boss, he sure does like you.” Xigbar stated.

“How so?” Olix inquired, normally not one to get into a conversation with Xigbar as he often made her uncomfortable for some reason.

“One on one time. It’s so sweet that he treats you better.” Xigbar chuckled, his single eye staring down to her from the ceiling. Only for the man to jump down and proceed the way she had just came. “Well, I took up too much of your time already and you don’t want to keep the boss. Have fun on your date.”

Olix didn’t even wait for him to walk away as she turned moving to where Xemnas was waiting. Xigbar constantly made her skin crawl, but for some reason that scar to his cheek made a smile come to her face all too often.

“You wish to see me?” Olix inquired stepping into the room where Xemnas was waiting. seeing him staring up toward the dark sky.

“Yes,” Xemnas called turning towards her, noting the way she was looking towards him, trying to find something there. “You mission how did it go?”

Olix blinked, he would get the report from Saix. That is if Demyx actually did his job for once. “We had no troubles.”

“Did you meet the Keyblade Wielder?”

“Keyblade Wielder?” Olix questioned, only to see a flash before her eyes. “Yes, he seems to the one creating Kingdom Hearts for you.”

“Yes, did you run into any other Wielders?” He asked stepping towards her, noting that those violet eyes were staring into his own deeply, she was trying to find something that he had buried a long time ago.

“None other.” Olix stated, only to turn as she noticed that he had opened a portal.

“There is something I wish to show you,”  Xemnas stated, moving through the portal, knowing that Olix would follow him no problem.

As Olix stepped from the portal the woman glanced around, where ever Xemnas has taken her was underground as there were no windows to see through, nor any light within the room not cast from the lights above despite a few seeming to flicker.

“Are you familiar with where we are?” Xemnas called, as Olix turned to him.

“I can not say that I am,” Olix replied, her eyes drifting from him only to widen at the item behind her.

A mash of blues and silver, upon closer look she realized that it was armor, and a keyblade. One that looked so familiar but she knew that the only ones she had seen were the ones that Roxas and Xion could produce and this Keyblade looked nothing like theirs. The ones they produced were defaults, ones yet to mature, this Keyblade had grown with someone, it belongs to someone.

“Who is this?” Olix asked before realizing that she had said anything or that she had even approached the armor. A shaky hand went out to touch the Keyblade only to suddenly find herself overcome with fear as she pulled back afraid of the outcome. 

When she realized that Xemnas hadn’t respond, she turned only to gasp as she narrowly avoid a red light. Lifting her hands as she summoned her weapon, a glass orb managing to deflect the second swing, and getting distance only to stumble over the armor, a flash of something across her vision causing her to react to slow to Xemnas’s hand which found its way around her neck.

“Do you not recall your old friend?” Xemnas inquired, as Olix reached up to lessen the hold on her neck. Xemnas didn’t squeeze but he held her firm in place.

Olix stared in confusion, this all felt familiar. As if it happened before, but not to herself.

“I will ask you this one Olix,” Xemnas hissed. “Where is the Luminary, Lio?”

Olix blinked, that was the name he called out to in a voice that wasn’t his own, but why did he want to know. She had no idea who or what a Luminary was. Nor what connection it had to this armor. She had no idea what it had to do with her, but Xemnas believed that she had some type of connection.

Xemnas glared at the woman, he kept her close at the request of the others. He has been waiting for her to make the mistake of slipping up and revealing where Lio was. Of becoming so comfortable with Roxas or Xion that she would be able to display a way of getting Kingdom Hearts sooner, where others had failed. To provide some missing part.

Yet the woman before him, despite having similarities to the Luminary that had gone missing, was just a blank canvas. Still, that tug he hadn’t felt since his last interaction with the Keyblade Wielders protector suddenly sparked again once Olix appeared. Was he wrong in thinking that this woman before him was the Luminary’s Nobody?

Frustrated he released the woman, watching her collapse to the ground her hand brushed against the helmet of the armor, only for tears to spring to her eyes. 

He watched as Olix slowly reached out, taking the helmet within her hands, as she rose it to look into the vision. Recognizing something that he himself could not see, as she closed her eyes resting her forehead against the forehead of the armor with a soft sob of,

“She’s one.”

Xemnas went to question her again only to find Olix had fainted when the helmet fell from her hand to rest in her lap. Even now she protected them.

[khtrashplatinumstars]

Olix is often mistaken for the Luminary that went missing years ago. Often mistaken for a Nobody, Olix does not, in fact, have a Somebody to return to. This does not excuse her from understanding the plight of those whose lives have been touched by the Darkness.

Olix has made it her personal mission to bring back those that were used in Xehonart's plans.

Fun facts about Olix:

Olix was originally created back over 10 years prior to Lio.

She was originally supposed to be the 15th member and never was to actually interact with Xion and Roxas as she has in the story.

She was to originally be teamed up with Demyx.

Her weapon was to be a microphone/stand that she used as a whip and lance. This was scrapped due to Demyx already having a musical instrument as a weapon, and Xaldin having lances.

During her reworking, her personality went from playful and brat-like to more reserved and soft spoke.

Despite having more chapters to Lio, I have drawn her the less.

Her Organization attire is based on my second and third favorite Disney Princesses, Belle for the cut of her jacket top, and the earrings from Jasmine.

When reworking KH: Luminary Olix was first going to be a figure that Xemnas in himself created when he destroyed Lio, out of the guilt and fear in what was leftover of Terra’s heart. This was dropped because I ended up needing her to interact with more people.

Ch. 7 ☆*~~~*☆

Location:  Luminary City, Stella Umbra

“I’m sorry I placed so much on you.”

Olix stared at the figure before her, only a silhouette but it stood taller than herself and appeared so sad. Seeing a gold strand going from the where the silhouette's heart would be, violet eyes following it to her own.

“Who are you?”

“I wish I could tell you, but that would hurt you even more.” The person replied. “Are you safe, please know that I want you safe before anything else?”

“Are you my somebody?” Olix asked stepping forward, noticing that the silhouette matched her movements.

“No,” The other replied, only to give a soft laugh, “Because you aren’t a Nobody, or a Heartless. You are Olix.”

“Than why am I with the Organization?”

“That I don’t know, I only requested that you look after Ventus until he was awakened. I never would have thought that Ven would be split even further. That Roxas looks pretty close don’t you think?”

Olix seemed taken back, “You know Roxas?”

“And Xion, Sora, Riku, Kairi, everyone you have met I have met.” The figure replied motioning towards the string connecting the two of their hearts. “We have a much bigger group than originally thought up. Which only means we have more to protect.”

Olix watched as nine more silhouettes surrounded them, all but three seemed familiar, but there were no ill intentions form any of them. Turning she felt the original person she had been speaking to take her hand, watching in confusion as the darkness began flicking off the other giving them an almost wispy like appearance but she still couldn’t place direct features.

“Are you sure that you still wish to help? I have no strength further to give as I will have to start to heal myself.”

Olix looked down to the warm hand holding her own, the other stated that they were not the others Nobody or Heartless, but she felt so connected, and she wanted to help. “...yes. I want to help.”

“Thank you, I can only ask that you please be stronger for just a little longer, and I’ll come to you as soon as I am able.” 

Olix smiled, “I’ll be waiting Big Sister.” Olix did manage to see the bright smile from the other being despite her foggy appearance.

“I trust in you, I will never be too far away.” The other smiled, embracing her tightly before her vision filled with light.

Location: Castle that never was

When Olix awoke in the bright white room, she already knew that a lot of time had passed. Stumbling from her bed, she felt herself standing more firm, more determined. Her body no longer working on autopilot, she had a mission and she was determined to see it through. While details were still extremely vague she now knew she had a purpose.

Moving into the hallways, she phased before even the body could touch her.

“Olix you’re back.” Demyx gasped, a shiver running through him at the woman moving through.

Olix looked to the other before nodding, Demyx was the best person to run into. The other couldn’t hold water even if he wanted to, “Demyx, what happened while I was gone?”

Demyx scratched the back of his head, “Well Xemnas brought you back, but you were out cold. We were told not to disturb you. You were out for a long time.”

Olix already knew this she just needed a little bit more information, “Was there anything I missed?”

“Not that I know of, still getting Kingdom Hearts for the big guy. We moved a lot of people over to Castle Oblivion.”

“Castle Oblivion, why is that?”

“Don’t really know, but there’s a little girl there.”

Olix nodded softly, “Thank you, I’ll follow up with Saix.”

“Uh, yeah sure,” Demyx called as she turned and left.

Instead, Olix opened a portal, disappearing between the white flash before closing it behind herself.

She found that sneaking around was a little easier as most of the others assumed that she was on a solo mission from Xemnas as the other gave her a wide amount of freedom. Yet in all honesty, she was gathering information, she had found only parts of the others, in order to make certain that the other being could properly find her way back see need more of a signal, a bigger one. Like one of the being’s Keyblade Wielders, but they were so scattered.  Roxas could have worked, but again Axel seemed to be rather protective of the other.

When inquiring about Xion she found herself met with blank stares and confusion. It was as if the young Nobody suddenly ceased to exist at all. She knew the other was a figment but it seemed that everyone was determined to make her believe that the other never exist, and maybe Xion didn’t exist to them but to herself, she knew for sure that the little one was just another tragedy in this twisted game that was being played, and it wasn’t fair, she was going to find a way to bring her back as well.

So when she stumbled upon Axel and Roxas in an argument about Roxas leaving to find himself, she could help but step in. Watching as Axel moved to attack Roxas only to be halted in mid-strike.

“Roxas.”

Both men turned to the woman, holding her orb in hand was it glow brightly, both knowing that she was the one that stopped Axel.

“Are you leaving as well?” She inquired.

Roxas turned towards the woman his keyblade summoned, “Are you going to try and stop me too?”

Olix stepped forward watching the blonde move back, almost frightened, removing a hand from her Orb as she rested it on his head, “My lost one, you have so much anger in you. I hope that one day you’ll find a way to let it go.”

Roxas stared at the woman as she gave him such a sad smile, “What are you doing?”

Olix removed the hand from his head as she waved it away from him, “This will take you to Twilight Town, do be safe. Once you leave I will not be able to protect or follow you any further. Please be safe until we are reunited.”

Roxas gave the woman a stern look, before his gaze when to Axel than towards the portal, “No one will miss me.”

Both turned to Axel, as the red head man called loudly still held in Olix’s spell, “It’s not true!”

Roxas spared one last glance to the two before disappearing into the portal.

Olix sealed the portal with a wave of her hand, followed by releasing Axel, her orb still in hand as she approached the much taller man, her stride never faulting as she bypassed the other to return back to the castle.

“Why would you let him do that!? They’re going to kill him!”

Olix stopped for just a moment, “Than why didn’t you tell him what you really wanted to say?”

“What?”

“You’ll miss him, won’t you?”

Axel summoned a Chakram, as he growled deeply at her back, “What are you talking about? I’m not going to play your silly games.”

“Next time why don’t you tell him how you really feel? It would be a lighter burden on his heart.” She smiled over her shoulder. “As well as your own.”

“You’re really starting to piss me off!” Axel barked his weapon going up in flames.

“You will see him again, Axel.” She replied turning back around, creating another portal. “Both of them.”

With that she stepped through, leaving the other man to his thoughts.

Location: Keyblade Graveyard

“But where’s she going?” Demyx whined. Both he and Xigbar were tasked with following Olix as the other was disappearing for bouts of time and not providing Saix with any of the information she was supposedly gathering. 

Even when Saix point-blank inquired about her disappearances, Olix stared him directly in the eye stating that it was none of his concern. From their first interaction, everyone knew that Olix could handle her own against the other, but something happened that made the soft spoken woman suddenly change.

“If you keep your mouth shut we can figure it out.”

Both men watched as she walked through this barren wasteland of dirt and keyblades, her footfalls and body movement ever cautious of where she was at any given moment, careful to never touch any of the blades. Sometimes taking a moment to lift one up again that had fallen over due to wind or time.. Her violet eyes looking for something, constantly turning around and quickly rushing around hills and piles of dirt, only to seem dejected when she didn’t find what she was looking for.

She went around another corner only for the two to suddenly hear a clash and the woman gasp before being thrown back. Almost slamming into one of the cliff’s rock face, before flipping rather elegantly bouncing from the wall before landing on the ground, raising a hand to summon her orb.

No sooner did the orb appear in hand did a suit of gold and red armor appear, a large keyblade in hand, moving to swing on her.

“Be still, please,” Olix called, as the armor froze in place, keyblade still raised to strike, body levitating from the jump it preformed. “I’m sorry I’m not her.” She smiled watching as the armor struggled to lower its arm. “Oh sorry, I’m sorry.” She called waving her hand as her spell became undone as the armor landed.

The armor lowered it’s keyblade, staring to the woman before them in silence, as she reached out taking the hand holding the weapon with a soft smile.

“So many pieces of you are scattered. If I had known sooner…” Olix muttered softly, only to look up as she felt the gloved heavy hand on her head, reassuring her, her own hold on it’s hand tightened.

“My sister will return to you soon, I hope that you can still hear her voice. She won’t rest until she gets you back to you, all of you.”

The armor gave nod, removing its hand from her head before turning and walking away. Olix watched as the armor left her alone, a soft smile on her face as she held her orb close to her chest. Only for the violet eyes to turn where Xigbar and Demyx were standing, a soft smile on her face as she turned opening a white portal.

“Do you think she knew we were here?” Demyx inquired, looking around.

“No doubt about it. It seems that she knows more than she lets on.” Xigbar replied as he moved over to the portal she left open. Reaching out a hand to touch the white light only for it to repeal him immediately. 

“That doesn’t look like the normal portal,” Demyx stated, going to touch it next only to be kicked back as well.

“Looks like Saix was right.” Xigbar chuckled, opening his own portal before stepping through. “Olix just made things interesting.”

“Right about what?” Demyx called only to be ignored as he too rushed through the portal after the other man.

Ch. 5 ☆*~~~*☆

Location: Castle Oblivion

Empty halls of pure white seemed so different than the flash of memories that she had seen before that didn’t belong to her. She found herself arrived here not long ago, but the halls were always empty. An uncomfortable quiet that would sometimes be interrupted by the sounds of ghosts from the past, and suddenly there were voices, so many different voices echoing through the corridors.

Flashes of black and magic often found themselves there, but they did not belong here, at least the tiny voice of memories told her that they did not. She did not scare them away but watch cautiously from afar.

She wasn’t aware if even she, herself belonged there. Just one day she awoken there, with no memories only a tiny voice echoing in her head of the same conversation repeated time and time again. Still, she found herself drawn to those voices, many of them sounded so sad and lost. So she decided her best case of action was to follow them.

Location: Castle that Never Was

When the portal reopened within the room, it had set everyone on defense as a woman appeared within the familiar cloaks of the rest of the organization. Unlike the others, this one was altered in the collar, but the hood stayed on as the person stepped from the portal leading to the Corridor of Darkness.

“We looking for a new recruit?” Xigbar chuckled.

“I’ve never seen them before.” Demyx replied, only to squeal as the person approached him, head cocked slightly to the side as they leaned towards him.

“You are not the one.” A female voice called from inside the cloak, as she turned away.

“Would you care to tell us who you are, young lady?” Luxord inquired, as she turned to him, her hood still in place.

“You are not the one. Do you know them?” She inquired leaned towards Luxord, only to move away as he tried to glance underneath her hood.

“She annoying me.” Larxene hissed as she tossed a knife toward the woman’s head. Believing that she struck the target correctly, only to instead remove the hood with her shot. 

Showing a woman with violet eyes, dark brown hair with two pink streaks going back. A beauty mark on the left bottom side of her lips. Her eyes locking with Larxene, “You are not the one.” She replied continuing her gaze upon the others in the room, only to stumble suddenly.

“Can you say anything else?” Xigbar chuckled, watching her look down to her shoulder seeing one of his arrows from where he had shot her. Watching in shock with the rest of the room as she barely grazed the hilt of the arrow watching as it removed itself from her arm, staring at it in confusion before moving towards the man, only to back up suddenly with a look of confusion. “Who are you?”

“I have no reason to answer, I am searching for the one.” She explained, only to let out a soft gasp as a lance went through her head. Turning to Xaladin as she cocked her head to the side. “You are not the one either.”

The entire room drew their weapons as she stood still, her gaze traveling from person to person, seeming to get more and more defeated with each pass. When those violet eyes suddenly widen as she disappeared then reappeared before Roxas and Xion.

“Get away from them!” Axel barked, tossing his chakrams at the woman, only to stare in confusion as she lifted her hand stopping them in their place before returning them to Axel’s hand. “What are you…”

Everyone watched as she raised her hands, placing them both on Roxas’s and Xion’s head with a soft smile, “My lost ones, she will find you soon.”

 Everyone’s gaze went from her to the doors as a new person entered the room, finding Xemnas and Saix appear when all eyes turned to the black blur racing across the room towards Xemnas.

“You…” She called, her steps quicken as she moved toward the men.

“Stay back.” Saix hissed, only to find the woman had simply moved through him, going towards Xemnas.

A loud growl echoed the room as Saix rose his claymore in berserk mode, aiming for the woman's throat. 

“Be still.” She called, as he froze in place, only inches from her throat. Her view never going to him as she stepped before Xemnas well within striking range, her violet eyes scanning him over.

All other weapons raised toward the woman, ready to defend Xemnas, when they found themselves also frozen in place by her spell.

Tears appeared within her eyes, as she reached up touching her own face, seeming to be just as confused about them appearing as the others.

“Are you sad?”

She looked up towards Xemnas, her tears still falling, “They are not my tears.”

Xemnas gave an affirmative noise in the back of his throat, “You have no memories.” He stated matter of factly, watching as her tear-filled eyes continued to scan him only to widen.

“You are a part.”

Xemnas chuckled softly, “Welcome Olix.”
