It was barely a week since Roxas and Naminé joined Organization XIII. All of the hooded members were all in Where Nothing Remains, discussing their next step in the plan.
"I'm gonna need a few of you to head over to Castle Oblivian. The Keyblade Hero will be there, soon." Xatlyn starts, but gets interrupted. "You're all gonna die in there." Larxene starts laughing. "Ya know, I was gonna send number IX, but you could take his place, number XII." Xatlyn smirks, making Larxene's laughs stop.
"Vexen, Lexaus, Zexion, Marluxia, and Larxene. I have chosen you five for this task." Xatlyn informed them. "Meet me in the grey room and we'll discuss it there. You're dismissed." The five leave the room, leaving everyone else behind.
Xatlyn turns to Axel. "I'm going to need to speak to you privately about this mission, Axel." She tells him. "Sure thing, Xatlyn." He leaves the room.
"Xigbar, Xaldin, Saïx, and Demyx, you four need to continue missions as usual. Dismissed." The four left after the order, leaving Xatlyn, Roxas, and Naminé.
"As for you two, you're very important to this mission." Xatlyn directed her attention to the youngest members. "Naminé, you need to go to Castle Oblivian with the others. Roxas, let Saïx know I need you going on solo missions until Axel gets back." The two nod their heads as the three head out of the room.
Xatlyn and Naminé walk out of their corridor and into the grey room. Vexen, Lexaus, Zexion, Axel, Marluxia, and Larxene were waiting near the couches.
"For this mission, I need Naminé to go with you." She places a hand on Naminé's shoulder. "But, why do we need her? She'll only get in the way." Larxene snarked, playing with one of her knives. She was clearly not paying attention.
Xatlyn takes the knife out of Larxene's hand. "If you'd listen to me, you'd understand why." Xatlyn glares at Larxene before turning her attention to the full group. "Naminé can manipulate the memories of people connected to Sora. She has done it with me. I need you guys to get her into Castle Oblivion so she can take a few of Sora's memories to put into a replica."
Vexen smirks, it was his plan originally to have an artificial replica of Sora. Things like this is the reason why he's glad that it's Xatlyn leading and not Xemnas.
"Also, Marluxia, I'm gonna need you to manage this whole mission." Xatlyn turns to Marluxia. "Also, you'll need to keep an eye on Naminé. Make sure she doesn't get hurt."
Marluxia looks down at the short, cloaked figure before looking back at Xatlyn. "You have my word, Countess." Naminé walked over to Marluxia, standing by his side. "You're all dismissed." Xatlyn stated before everyone each opened a dark corridor. "Everyone except Axel." She finishes.
Axel closes his corridor as the others disappeared into their. "Please, take a seat." Xatlyn suggested, gesturing to the couches. "Of course." Axel takes a seat on one couch as Xatlyn sits on the other, crossing her legs onto the couch.
"Is this about this mission?" Axel asks as the two take off their hoods. "That's one thing I need to talk to you about. There are traitors in the Organization. As the assassin, I trust you to deal with them." Xatlyn tells Axel. "I normally wouldn't, but I trust you on this. I'll deal with the traitors for you." "Thank you so much, Axel. Just don't make any death too painful."
"Are you sure there's not one you want to suffer?" Axel asks, raising an eyebrow. Xatlyn finally caves. "There's one. One!" She slightly chuckles. She throws the knife she was holding towards the other cushion of the couch Axel was on. "Consider it a Last Revenge."
Axel got the message. "Trust me, I don't like her either. Consider it done." Xatlyn smiles. Larxene and Xatlyn never got along, even before Xatlyn took Xemnas' place in the organization.
"The other thing I need to talk to you about involves Roxas." Xatlyn tells Axel, who's smile drops. "What about him?" Axel asks. "Considering you're going on this mission, I'm gonna have him start doing missions on his own." Xatlyn tells him. "But what if he gets hurt?" That took Xatlyn aback.
She stands up from the couch, making her way over to Axel. "That's sounds as if you care about him." Xatlyn says. Axel shrugs, watching as Xatlyn's hand reaches his chest, feeling over where his heart would be.
"I don't feel anything in there." Xatlyn says to herself. Axel silently watches Xatlyn. "Are you growing something in there, like I did?" She asks him. He scoffs. "Trust me, I'd know if I did."
"To answer your question, I'll keep a close eye on him for you." Xatlyn pulls her hand away. Axel felt relieved that someone was wanting to keep Roxas safe. "You should probably get to Castle Oblivion. The others are probably there, already."
Axel got up from his seat, summoning a dark corridor. "Please, come back, Axel." She tells him. He turns back to her. "I will. Got it memorized?" He promised her, making her smile as he walked into the dark corridor.
