Kingdom Hearts; The Heartless Keeper

Chapter XLII; Unspoken Words

Yuki pushed open the door to what had once been a lab. It had taken longer than expected to find this room in Castle Oblivion. But after a few hours Yuki, X, and Y had found it. They were looking for anything that could explain exactly what the plan for Kingdom Hearts was. According to X, it was unlikely the real goal was just to get hearts once again.

Y entered the room and began sifting through some of the papers scattered on the desk. X entered the room as well, flipping through the papers a little more calmly. Yuki stood back by the door, watching the two attempt to make sense of the files.

"What is all this stuff?" Y asked. She frowned at the report she was reading.

"This is where the Nobodies kept all their information.....I think." Yuki answered. She watched Y in interest as she searched through the papers. Y was focused beyond anything Yuki had ever seen.

"You think?" X asked from where he stood. He was flipping pages in a notebook, not really seeming to care.

"I've only been here once. And I didn't look around very much." Yuki answered honestly. The last time she had been in this specific room she had been with Aryum searching for Axel and Zexion. Assuming they were dead Yuki had gone into a daze of sorts.

"I don't see much around here," X said still skimming the notebook. "Basic info that's not really important. Something about a... Xion." He said in wonder. He apparently hadn't known about the bit on Xion until seconds after he began speaking. Y looked at him in confusion.

"What about Xion?" Y asked. Yuki walked to where X was and began to read over his shoulder. The notes were about something called the replica program. Yuki's mind immediately went to the time she had spoken with DiZ and he had called Xion a puppet.

"Xion is a replica meant to copy the powers of the keyblade." X explained to Y, who still hadn't moved from where she previously stood.

"What? No way!" Y said in disbelief. X rolled his eyes and motioned to the book.

"It's all right here." He said in exasperation. Y finally walked over to X reading the page. After several minutes in which she appeared to be reading and rereading the notes Y frowned.

"So, she's supposed to be like another version of Roxas?" Y asked. She looked to X for her answer. He shook his head.

"Not exactly. But we'll keep it simple by explaining it that way." He said. Yuki frowned pacing away from the other two. She crossed her arms and rubbed her temple in thought.

"Why would they create her?" Yuki asked. X and Y both looked at each other and shrugged.

"Who knows." X said. He returned his attention to reading about the replica program while Y walked away to search for anything else of interest.

Yuki joined in Y's search looking through some of the papers. Most of the notes she didn't understand. Just a bunch of science stuff and strange drawings. There were a few notes on the intruders and Naminé. Even a recording of some of the events that had occurred in the castle while the Nobodies had been using it. Most of it was the same handwriting, which Yuki assumed belonged to Zexion. Yuki was just reading about Axel doing something when Y spoke up, catching her attention.

"Look at this," Y announced, pulling a folder filled with papers from behind the desk. X looked up at her in mild interest. Yuki looked up as well, curious to see what Y had found.
