The Legend of Heroes (Series 1, Book 2) The Dark Menace

Chapter 10: Enter, The Rogue Organization

  After Saïx's failed attempt to kidnap Link at Disney Castle. He chased after Axel, an old member of Organization XIII. Axel, who lured Saïx into the Realm of Darkness, was able to flee from Saïx and returned to his hideout. Now Saïx had to return to The Castle That Never Was, Organization XIII's Stronghold. 

   In the World That Never Was, Saix returns to the Organization XIII Stronghold, to report his failure to the leader, Xemnas. Xemnas is Master Xehanort's Nobody, which automatically gives him the title of Superior.  In the main council chamber, also known as the Round Room, this is where the members meet and discuss any matters or missions. "Saix, why have you returned with no hostage?" Asked Xemnas. "Well it seems that Axel was protecting him. As well as Sora. This will be a very difficult challenge if we were to acquire Link.." Said Saix. Xemnas sighed in his seat, "Xigbar, please inform Vexen to put more effort into his 'project' so that we can proceed to phase 2. I am sick and tired of waiting here doing nothing." Commanded Xemnas. Xigbar, No.2 in the Organization also known as the Freeshooter, is very skinny and he has an eye patch. He can be somewhat of a comedian, to lighten up everyone's moods with having no mental heart. They do have hearts that pulsate blood and oxygen throughout the body, its just they don't have emotions of any kind. Xemnas speaks in a monotone voice, to prove that he shows no emotion at all. "Yes sir!" Said Xigbar in a soldier tone. He vanished from his seat and Xemnas puts his attention towards Saix, "You will not fail us again. If you do, i will have no choice but to eliminate you. Link is a sole part in Master Xehanort's plan. For we need the power of his keyblade to give our new toy a 'boost'." Explained Xemnas."Yes I know Superior. I shall go and check on Vexen's project as well." Saix disappeared as well and the only one left in the room waas Xemnas. Another portal had opened, and out came Master Xehanort. He is a very old guy, bald and has a gray goatee. He slouches and wears a black/gray outfit. "Xemnas, I am starting to lose trust in Saïx. He is not as he once was, meaning something is troubling him. In fact, i have seen that all of your members are troubled as of late. What is the matter with you all?!" He asked in a old raspy voice. Xemnas looked into the distance, "Well to tell you the truth, today is the day of the schism of the Organization. A couple of years back when I was defeated by Sora, a Nobody took my place to lead a brand new Organization. His name was Mathulax. Surprisingly, he had the same abilities as me and as well as Axel. Mathulax was more ruthless and was a very different type of Nobody. However when i had returned, Mathulax knew of your plans to take Kingdom Hearts and left the Organization. His last words were that he wished his vengeance on us all. We haven't heard from him since." Explained Xemnas. Master Xehanort had a distressed look on his face. "(Scoffs) We wouldn't need him in my grand plan anyway. A Nobody that has left his path will be shunned and be forever an outcast. Tell your members to lose this tension of him returning when he hasn't even delivered his promise of vengeance." Said Master Xehanort. He spoke to soon, a gigantic boom was heard down in the Dark City. "Well. You were saying Master?" Said Xemnas. Xehanort grew wary and summoned a portal. "Protect our project at all costs Xemnas. For it is our gate to Phase 2. I will retreat back to the Darkness." Commanded Xehanort. The old man went through the portal and closed it. Xemnas opened a portal as well and went to the Dark City.

  In the Dark City, the explosion that was heard originated in the City Square. Saïx, Xigbar and Xemnas investigate. "So Xemnas, you think that he was the cause of this?" Asked Xigbar. Saïx intruded, "If it was indeed the Rogue, we must be at full alert. He knows every inch of this place." Said Saïx. Xemnas looked around and heard a noise behind them, "BEGONE!" Xemnas shoots a barrage of Etheral Blades at the object, which dodged out of the way. It floated in mid air and was revealed to be a person in a red cloak, like an Organization Hoodie.  It had the Nobody symbol on the shoulders, which looked distorted a bit. The man summoned Black Chakrams with black flames, "Hello again fellow Nobodies. Missed me?" Said the Rogue. Saïx stood forward and summoned his weapon. "Mathulax, the Rogue. Stand down right now or you will be eliminated." He said. He laughs, "I will not stop. I am destined to destroy you all. DIE!" Shouted Mathulax.

  The Rogue Nobody, Mathulax charges at Saïx with his Black Chakrams. The Luna Diviner dodges the black flames being shot at him and then clashes with Mathulax. "I see you have grown stronger since the last time we have met Saïx. But you are not strong enough." The Rogue kicks Saïx and uses his Banished Blades to damage him. Xigbar jumps in to help Saïx but is stopped by a wall of data. Another Nobody enters the fight wearing a similar cloak to Mathulax, but with pixels on it. He summoned a axe that is all made up of data. His name is Datatrix, a freak accident from a computer virus had turned into a Nobody. Xigbar breaks the data wall and shoots him with his snipers. Datatrix evades and uses his Data Axe on Xigbar nearly wounding him. Xemnas saw his own members being crushed by these rogues. He took one step, then he felt a paralyzing chill go through his body, making him unable to move. Behind him was a third person in the similar cloak with black stripes going down it. This was Chauchmar, a Nobody that can create your fears to to come to life. Xemnas broke free of his paralyzing grasp and shot a reflect screen at him, causing him to be pushed back. "So you brought your whole team Mathulax. How stupid of you." Said Xemnas. He jumped at Chauchmar with his Etheral Blades and clashed with The Nightmare and his dark sword. "Xemmas. You will not win this civil war among us. Eventually you will submit to Lord Mathulax." Said Chauchmar. He broke the clash and kicked Xemnas to the ground, who then slashed at Chauchmar's legs, causing an wound. "Aaaaah!!!" Yelled Chauchmar. Xemnas floated back up to a standing postion and charged after Mathulax. Mathulax, who is still fighting Saïx, sees Xemnas and vanishes. Xemnas looks around to find him, and not knowing, Mathulax was on the Skyscraper above. "XEMNAS! COME AND FACE ME!" Shouted Mathulax. Xemnas sees him above and he runs towards the Skyscraper. The two run on the side of the building for a clash of their powers. "(Clashing) Why are you here Mathulax! What do you want from Master Xehanort!?" Shouted Xemnas. Mathulax grinned, "I am not here for that old coot, i am here to destroy you. So i can take my place as the Leader of the Organization once more!" Said Mathulax. The two dodged, parried and evdaded each others attacks for they are equal in power. Then Mathulax uses his super move, which made him glow in a black/red aura. "Rogue Strike!" He shouted.  The black laser blades grew tiny spikes and he slashed Xemnas right in the chest. The Superior fell off the side of the Skyscraper and crashed into the ground.

  The three Rogues came back together and looked at the bodies of the Organization members. "How embarrassing. (Scoffs) And they call themselves strong." Said Datatrix. "Mathulax, we should allow them to remember this as a message." Said Chauchmar. "Xemnas, you will fall one day. But today is your lucky day, you get to live your non-existant life for a little more. Bon Voyage!" Mathulax, Datatrix and Chauchmar leave in their portals. Xemnas, Saïx and Xigbar try to get up, as they now are at war with a Rogue faction of Nobodies.
