"I've fought one of them, Xemnas...Everything Xigbar says is fact. Marluxia's Heartless - Greed...He defeated me as if it were child's play. I have scars all over my back because of his sword alone."
Xemnas frowned. This can't be posible. Heartless able to beat the nobodies? Saix, of all people, too? His fists clinched tighter. "No, this can't be. What has happened since I.....?" He couldn't remember WHAT happened to him. The last he remembered was sending Saix to go after someone, though he did not know who. But that wasn't a matter to be concerned about right now. If Saix said it was true, it must be. Though it would be even more difficult to believe the heartless of Demyx was their leader.
"Well, well, well...if it isn't the master of the puppets! Remember me? Guess not. After all, you DID lose your memory."
Xemnas gave a short, harsh laugh. The tuffs of hair fell across his face creatins shadow across it once again. His golden eyes seemed to glow still, however, and were visible in the shade. "Hello, Dias. Good to see you're still around. I believe Saix, no need for you to tell me." He glared at Dias, looking directly into his red eyes. "As for what I value, that was destroyed so thus I value nothing. Threats do not phase me. But I will agree to not fighting for now." He looked at the three ex-nobodies before him. "Saix, Axel, and Xigbar. I do believe this is a sight to behold. The three of you together in the same room without my orders. In sepaking of which. Where are the others? We should at least gather everyone so as to figure our next move." Xemnas turned to look back at the castle. He looked back over his shoulder. "Even Marluxia, Larxene, and Roxas, if they are available. Even if they did betray us, we need all the help we can aford." He spread his arms and concentrated on the others, sending out a becon to summon them forth. "NOBODIES, come forth. Gather before me as you did once before." His voice held the tone of dominance that was that of the once great leader of Organization XIII. Xemnas was, for the most part, back to his old self.

Within the Castle
“My my… such strong words from a man who is but a shadow of his former self… of perhaps I should say selves?”
Vivax Inferous had waited far too long in the castle for any of the Organization XIII to appear. He had strictly told Envy to bring them all to him quickly. Unfortunately, the task proved to be for Number Four. Infuriated, the King left the Altar of Naught and marched through the castle without speaking a single word. Envy trailed behind him like a trained puppy that would forever follow his master.
It was soon after that Vivax stumbled on a small congregation of the Nobodies. Xemnas… Saix… Xigbar… All easily identifiable. All in need of correction.
The King of Kingdom Hearts shook his head and tsked. “It seems that you have taken Greed’s information to heart, which of course I must congratulate you thirteen on retrieving. That was certainly a surprise to say the least.”
“Here,” Vivax held out his hands with a smile, “Let me clarify. Kingdom Hearts has always been stable and well, though it has had some rough spots here and there, only due to our guest of honor.” He motioned to Xemnas. “Greed, however, liked to bend the truth. This problem has been corrected.”
“And the Heartless do not wish to control the worlds. They are simply following orders, one of which you guessed correctly: to hunt down the Nobodies. But…” Vivax paused, searching for the proper words. “… you are far from controlling any of the worlds, Xemnas of Organization XIII.”

Dias looked towards Vivax upon hearing him. Hissing, Dias' blood-like eyes glared daggers at the Heartless. "You! I never thought i'd see YOUR face again, Vivax!" Dias snapped, fists clenching with rage and baraly controlled rage.
Saix was shocked at hearing this. Dias knew him? How? Thinking a moment, Dias did say many times that he was from Kingdom Hearts...
Dias walked over towards the King of Kingdom Hearts, but kept a good distance as he stopped to avoid a swift attack from someone he knew was far stronger than him. "It's YOUR fault I am stuck with this cub!" He shouted, breathing heavy with pure anger. "When I find a way to get out of this shell i'll make your remaining eternia as King a living nightmare, Vivax!!"

“My my… such strong words from a man who is but a shadow of his former self… of perhaps I should say selves?”
Xemnas whirled around at the sound of Vivax's voice. "Who-?"
"You! I never thought i'd see YOUR face again, Vivax!"
Xemnas strided up behind Dias and put a hand on his shoulder. "That's enough, Dias. Let me handle this." He walked forward and looked Vivax up and down, examining him.
“And the Heartless do not wish to control the worlds. They are simply following orders, one of which you guessed correctly: to hunt down the Nobodies. But…”...“… you are far from controlling any of the worlds, Xemnas of Organization XIII.”
"So, I take it you are the leader of this...Septsinian? Vivax, that is your name is it? Well then..." Xemnas gave a short, half-hearted bow to the King of Kingdom Hearts. "I am honered to meet the one who leads those who can challenge us of Organization XIII." He smiled as he look back up at Vivax. But then the smile faded. "Now, with the formalities aside, if you were out to hunt us Nobodies, why is it that you haven't destroyed us the moment we came back? What is it you plan to do here, if not take control of the worlds? I, for one, see it as pointless nonsence to just be out to attack us without purpose. Nothing would really come from that if you don't plan to have some gain from it."

Vivax remained silent as Dias, who currently had control over Saix, exploded with rage. He calmly waited until Dias’ short tirade had come to an end before answering. “Ah Dias, isn’t it?” The King paused, musing over a few thoughts before continuing. “Well, it is certainly a surprise to find you here. However… I would agree with Xemnas. Perhaps you should step back for a moment and allow the true leader to take charge.”
With that statement, Dias was pushed from Vivax’s mind as he turned to Xemnas. The King took care to note that Xemnas certainly retained the personality of Xehanort even after all this time. That, of course, was to be expected. He was the leader of the apprentices that did so well to seal him away for all those years. Vivax did not, however, approve the way in which he was being spoken to. He was hardly an inferior to any of these pathetic Nobodies.
Frowning, he replied, “You are well informed, Xemnas... no doubt from your dutiful subjects. I am the Vivax, the King of Kingdom Hearts, and the leader of the Septsinian. But nevertheless, you would do well to remember that information and remember it well.
“The reason I have not destroyed you is for plans of my own, ones which I will not reveal. I did wish your deaths when your hearts first escaped my control but the situation has… changed so to speak. As for the worlds, that again is my business alone.”
A slight smile curled upon his face. “And fear not, Xemnas. I do not pursue you without a purpose. My victory would reap the most precious of prizes.”

Dias growled angerly at the insult he knew was there! Uncontrollable anger went through his body, and he could hear Saix trying to stop him him. But Saix's efforts were futile.
With a raging howl, Dias charged at Vivax, attempting to sink his claws, and if not possible, sink his fangs into the King's neck. "Die!!" He shouted, pure anger emitting from his tone alone at how much he dispised this man. For how much misery he was in for years because of the King's choices to handle Dias' soul.
What are you doing?! You're going to get us both killed!! Saix yelled angerly at Dias, who did nothing to stop his own foolishness to heed Saix's warnings and protests.

“You are well informed, Xemnas... no doubt from your dutiful subjects. I am the Vivax, the King of Kingdom Hearts, and the leader of the Septsinian. But nevertheless, you would do well to remember that information and remember it well."
"And remember that I shall, Vivax, King of Kingdom Hearts."
“The reason I have not destroyed you is for plans of my own, ones which I will not reveal. I did wish your deaths when your hearts first escaped my control but the situation has… changed so to speak. As for the worlds, that again is my business alone.”
"Then I shall not press the issue of your plans, for as you said yourself, my 'dutiful subjects' keep me well informed and I understand you are the greater power currently here, though I am somewhat curious of what has caused the situation to cha-"
"Die!!"
NO! Xemnas whirled to see Dias come charging. Without hestitation, Xemnas raised his arm and grabbed Dias by the throat and threw him to the ground without effort. The next thing Dias knew, a red blade was crossed over his neck, dissallowing him immediate recovery. "You may not be a Nobody, Dias, but you are in the body of one of my members, who I happen to prefer keeping alive. Thus you are to follow my orders as such, do I make myself clear, Dias? Which means you will stand down." Xemnas looked up at the other memebrs currently present. "That counts for all of you." Without removeign the blade from its position Xemnas turned his attention back to Vivax. "Excuse Dias' actions, Vivax, he doesn't exactly know when to hold his temper."

Three masculine voices resonated through the winding hallways, telling Larxene she had finally found her way through the large, confusing castle. It was usually abnormal for her to get lost like this: she was normally the one telling the other Organization members, namely the scatter-brained Demyx, how to get from point A to point B without a misstep. However, her memories of late had been quite fuzzy......not to mention she had been involved with some mischief over the interwebs.
A wicked smile graced her lips when she recounted her previous fight with Axel and his human lover. Who'd thought Fire Boy would have willingly offered his own life.....especially in the name of love........oh what fun I am going to have now......... Letting her thoughts meander, the issue with Kairi also passed into her head. Poor little Carrot Top......her life is such a Greek tragedy......maybe she should just kill herself and be done with it......I could definetly help with that.
After a few more minutes of walking down the hall, the sound of her heeled boots clicking as she went, she finally came across the owners of the three voices. The first was Xemnas, which surprised her greatly. Christ.....he just keeps coming back, doesn't he..... The second person was Saix, or more realistically Dias, who was being subdued by Xemnas, causing the sadist to chuckle in glee. Finally, there was a man she had never seen before, but by his bearing she figured was the head of whatever group had lead them here. "Hey, whomever you are....what's the point of having us come here in the first place!!!"

Xigbar heard the clicking of heels against the flor and new instantly that the "Wicked Witch of the Nothingness" had arived.
"Hey, whomever you are..."
Xigbar turned to see the blonde sadist.
"...what's the point of having us come here in the first place!!!"
Xigbar left Axel's side and walked forward to her slightly, but kept his distance. "H-hey Larxene. Ya made it." He looked back to Vivax. "She's right. We all came and all you said is who you are and that you wish to keep your plans secret. If that's all you wanted then you could have said that in your little message earlier. If that's not all, what the hell are we here for then?"

"Hey, whomever you are....what's the point of having us come here in the first place!!!"
Xemnas smiled again at the sound of Larxene's voice. "Ah, Larxene." He glimpsed back at her for a moment then turned his gaze back to Vivax, "Glad you could join us."
Well that's one more. But it seems not even the entire Organization can take on the Septsinian and there's no doubt this guy can call upon his own if he sees fit. Xemnas' smile faded again as he thought about what to do. He wasn't going to allow Vivax to remain in control. We need help, sad to say...but from who? I know not another power greater than the two standing here. Maybe one of the others do. But I cannot ask now. Vivax must leave first, or we should. But I doubt he'll let us leave without his say. This is so unusual. To fathom such things before now would be insane, and yet now I actually have to answer to someone. How amusing.

Within the Castle
Ienzo had spent a better part of ten minutes inspecting room after room, fingers brushing against the strangely pearlescent walls. His footsteps created an echo as he walked, ears piqued for any odd noises. The teen stopped at a corner, hearing voices nearby. They sounded familiar... was that Xemnas... and Saix? There was someone else there that he couldn't quite pin down-- probably a heartless. Slowly turning the corner, he found himself looking at the crowd... from the opposite side. A different perspective, definitely. Especially since his face was to the enemy's back.
Very useful, that small detail could be used to his advantage.
"You-- you're Vivax, aren't you?" He asked, voice light and airy. Under any other circumstances (and if he were a born fighter) he probably could've physically attacked the corrupt emperor. However, Zexion was one who fought with the exchange of words, not blows. And amongst the current group... he was probably the only one who could successfully pull a curtain over the man's eyes. Not that Xemnas wasn't intelligent, but he lacked a certain... tactfulness to his inquiries. He was, after all, a man used to getting his way.
((omg yay posties <3 HI KIDS I'M BACK.))

The King waved a hand, dismissing the thought of Dias. "No need to explain. I know Dias well enough."
When Nobodies gathered, they certainly gathered in numbers and quickly. Then again, this was the Organization XIII he was dealing with. These were no ordinary Nobodies, despite the fact that they had regained their hearts. That was a complete mystery, even to Vivax. Though he was the absolute ruler of Kingdom Hearts, this answer still alluded him.
"Ah, not only have Xigbar and Larxene joined us, you did too, Zexion, and with that infamously keen eye of yours." Vivax turned to face the dark-haired teen. "But it seems the rest of the reborn Organization is missing, isn't it? Demyx, Axel, Luxord, and Marluxia don't seem to be here, though one is in this world."
"Hey, whomever you are... What's the point of having us come here in the first place!"
"She's right. We all came and all you said is who you are and that you wish to keep your plans secret. If that's all you wanted then you could have said that in your little message earlier. If that's not all, what the hell are we here for then?"
With a kind smile, Vivax turned and answered, "It makes for a nice reunion, doesn't it?"

"You-- you're Vivax, aren't you?"
Xemnas looked to see the arival of another of his organization, Number Six, Zexion. (a.k.a. Ienzo) "Ah, Zexion. That makes five of us now. Not so bad concidering, but this is still quite troubling. Normally all would have been here in an instant. I guess having hearts now might have effected that." Xemnas shrugged.
"But it seems the rest of the reborn Organization is missing, isn't it? Demyx, Axel, Luxord, and Marluxia don't seem to be here, though one is in this world."
Xemnas nodded in agreement. "I do not know the where-abouts of Demyx, Luxord, or Marluxia. Having recently been 'reborn' myself, I haven't had the time to search. As for Axel, he is somewhere within the walls of this castle. Lost, most likely, in the maze of halls. Even I find my self turned around from time to time if not carefull. Of course I don't normally wander the castle's grounds often anyway. And come to think of it, I could have sworn that during my passage from the city I saw, or more so heard, Roxas. Why he is not here presently i guess could be answered with the asumption that he is with Namine, whom prefers not staying around this place for long."
"Hey, whomever you are... What's the point of having us come here in the first place!"
"She's right. We all came and all you said is who you are and that you wish to keep your plans secret. If that's all you wanted then you could have said that in your little message earlier. If that's not all, what the hell are we here for then?"
"It makes for a nice reunion, doesn't it?"
Xemnas began to laugh a little at Vivax's remark. "Indeed. Though this is not the first time I've had one of these reunions, I still find it entertaining to experience it again. Although," Xemnas gazed around at all the Nobodies there, "I would still prefer that it been the entire 'family'."

Family. It made Dias cringe at the name and almost laugh with disgust. How pathetic. This Nobody thinks Saix and the others family?! HA!
Laughing almost with complete insanity Dias slowly pushed Xemnas' weight off him so he could sit up.
"How pathetic! The Nobodies of Organization XIII family? Don't make me cry with amusement, Xemnas, but you're thinking differently. Some think of you as a total moron and power hungry fool." He sneered, standing up fully. Saix, however, did not like Dias' words.
"That's...not true." Saix whispered through Dias' control, pushing Dias back into submission for his outbursts and his eyes returned to their golden yellow color. "Xemnas...Ignore what Dias says. He speaks nonsense."

Xemnas smirked. "That was a figurative statement. Of course even if it wasn't, it's not like you would know anything of family." His smirk became more of a smile as the red eyes turned to yellow, signalling Saix return of control. "Ah, Saix, good to see you're back."
"Xemnas...Ignore what Dias says. He speaks nonsense."
Xemnas nodded slowly. "Indeed. I know that. His words are empty to my ears, as they always have been. After all he is nothing to me but a mere shadow of you. His existence is only through your darkness and thus he can never truly surpass you unless you allow him to."
