In the Badlands on the outskirts of the Keyblade Graveyard, Marluxia and Larxene stood atop thirteen pillars of earth.

"So, why are you back?" Marluxia asked.

"Nice way to greet your old partner in crime," Larxene said. Marluxia gave a small laugh at the title. "So, why do you think the old geezer took us back? He must know we backstabbed the Organization when Xemnas and Muki were running it."

"Xehanort doesn't care about you or me. To him, we're nothing but empty husks. The old Organization was the same. Xehanort needs thirteen vessels to hold his essence. And let's not forget him wanting that Spirit."

"Which one? There's like 4 of them."

"You know which one."

"Oh. Her. But that girl has slipped through our hands multiple times. There's no way she'll submit. Especially with that pathetic team of hers. So, you up for another coup?" Larxene gave him a coy smile.

"Oh, please. You couldn't do it last time. You gotta play it smart, like me," someone said. They looked over to another pillar, where a man with blond hair was holding a large sitar.

"What?! You're not smart!" Larxene said.

"Well, you heard what Marly said. I don't have to be smart," Demyx smirked.

"Or capable, or likeable, or attractive. A cereal bowl would make a better vessel." Demyx tuned his sitar strings while Larxene roasted him.

"Whoa now, you are WAY out of line. I am extremely imposing...when I want to be. Which is, admittedly, almost never," he said.

"Why haven't you gone to any worlds? Are you slacking?"

"'Course not. I got benched."

"Huh?

"Saïx brought Vexen on board. They must be planning to use replicas," Marluxia said.

"Those windup toys?"

"Oh, no. The replicas are way more real than you remember. I mean, one stole my spot!" Larxene burst into laughter. (her laugh is so hot! fight me!)

"OF COURSE it stole your spot. You're dumb as a brick," she said.

"Har-dee-har," Demyx said.

"Vexen's latest replicas are no mere puppets. The Riku replica we used in Castle Oblivion was just a prototype. The next replica, the one crafted from Sora's memories, was real enough to join our ranks. And Vexen claims the new ones will be human in every way. If he ever finishes them," Marluxia said.

"Oh... The thing is...I kinda told Sora and his nitwits that we're ready. My bad," Larxene said.

"Let them believe as such." A dark corridor opened to reveal Queen Muki.

"Ugh. Muki," Larxene said.

"If they think that we have all thirteen darknesses, then they will panic. And panic leads to a lack of preparation," Muki said.

"Yeah, totally," Demyx said.

"Why is thing a member again?" Larxene asked as she pointed to Demyx.

"Hey now! Pointing is rude."

"The first six members of the original Organization were all apprentices to Ansem the Wise, and the seventh and eighth members joined thereafter. The thirteenth member was Roxas, a Keyblade wielder. So. What about you? How do you suppose Xemnas and I chose numbers nine through twelve?" Muki said.
