Maxay's 358/2 Day KH book #4 Sora X Maya

Battle Against Riku

Normal P.O.V

Day 149

~ Unlike Minds~

Four figures had appeared in the Round Room. 

"What is the state of affairs?" Xemnas asked Saix. 

"Nearly all our plans are advancing satisfactorily. ? Axel headed out for Castle Oblivion this morning," Saix reported. 

"And Poppet is brilliant, of course," Xigbar butted in. "Vexen's annihilation is a crying shame, as they say, "Xigbar grinned, meaningfully. 

"His know-how is all being kept safe as records," Saix stated, indifferent. 
"There aren't any problems as of now. 

Xaldin fixed Saix with a sharp look. "So what will you do when there is a problem? There are possibilities beyond your control... Like Maxay for example." he said, arms folded.  "Roxas still believes she's still part of the Organization." 

"Well, if you were to say that I was responsible for what happened to those destroyed by the Hero and his party, I'd be troubled. As for Maxay... there's no need to be concerned about her. 

"Those destroyed by the Hero, huh?" Xigbar repeated, seemingly trying to provoke him. 

Saix ignored him and continued. "I have received information from Demyx and Luxord that two unknown identities wearing our same coat have appeared on many worlds." 

"They aren't just mistaken?" Xaldin asked. 

"Whether or not they are mistaken, we ought to look into it, said Saix. 

"You're to send Xion," Xemnas ordered immediately. 

Xigbar shrugged his shoulders. "Where's the sense in sending Xion? There's a chance that the fakers are, are they say, in cahoots with the Hero's party, right? Have you ever gotten hold of the Hero's whereabouts?" 

"Luxord is sweeping the worlds, but he hasn't found him yet. And, Axel has been sent to Castle Oblivion to search for clues on the Hero and his friends," Saix answered, quietly. No change of expression could be seen on his face. 

Xigbar crossed his legs, resting his elbows down. "Axel, huh..." 

"Anyway, can there even be two people wearing the same coat as us?" Xaldin asked. "Even including the spears, all of them should be under our management. It should have been reported if any went missing." 

Saix sighed heavily. That was the only reaction he'd shown so far in today's meeting. "We haven't received confirmation on those of the Castle Oblivion members. I'll have Axel look into that, too." 

"Axel, Axel... you two are quite the pals, aren't you? Wonder what you two whisper about," Xigbar shot, jiggling his crossed leg. 

"Now you've mentioned it, I wonder the same about you." At Saix's words, the atmosphere froze over. 

"We have one goal. Don't forget that," Xemnas said. Saix looked up at him. "Keep an eye on Xion. You'll find out about the Hero that way also," Ordered Xemnas, and then he disappeared.

I dreamed again. In my dream, there was a beautiful ocean... and I could hear the sound of waves the whole time. Could that have been Destiny Islands? Now that I think about it, you can see the ocean from Twilight Town, too. And at night I see a million shiny stars. 

Xion got up out of bed, got ready, and left her room. She arrived just a little later than usual; already there was no one but Saix and Xigbar left in the lobby.
