Chapter Text
In a tall, white and gray castle that grew in an empty city of dusk and, well, Dusks, there no longer lived only Nobodies and nothingness, but instead… you guessed it: Xehanorts. They decided that since the Old Organization XIII could live there, so could the new one. Logically, it only made sense. But sadly, not everyone agreed…That's where our story begins, with a Vanitas wanting to move to well, anywhere but the World That Never Was.
Thirteen chairs stood in the round room; thirteen chairs that used to belong to a bunch of Nobodies, but now belonged to, well, mostly Nobodies. But these Nobodies were also Xehanort now, so they liked the X-BLADE. It made quite a difference.
But there were also non-Nobody Xehanorts, one of these Xehanorts was Master Xehanort, who was now the leader of Organization Xehanort XIII. Xemnas was totally not upset to be kicked from the leader position. Definitely. Totally not. Xemnas stared up at the chair that used to be his in total not-jealousy; I mean, how could he be jealous without a heart anyway?
Xemnas kept on thinking about how not jealous he was, while the rest of the organization joined in for their meeting.
Once (almost) everyone had appeared with their pretty swag darkness portals, Xehanort began the meeting.
"Hello, fellow Xehanorts!" began Master Xehanort, "Today we will be talking about the X-BLADE!"
A round of applause sounded around the room, because who doesn't like the X-BLADE? So, everyone clapped except for Xemnas, who was thinking about how he would always start their meetings with 'good tidings, friends.'
Again, not jealous or upset at all that he was no longer leader.
Sadly, not all the Xehanorts were there. A fact noticed by none other than…Xigbar.
"Guys, where the hay is Saix?!" Xiggy exclaimed.
Unfortunately, Xigbar had seemed to forgotten that Saix was always the one they sent shopping, and that it was no different in the Xehanort Organization. Some things never change.
But while poor Saix was out shopping for the stuff on his much-longer-than-floor-length list, they decided to start the meeting without him.
"Who needs Saix anyway?" said the entire Organization.
There was another Xehanort missing, but he was so unimportant that nobody (not even the Nobodies) noticed.
"The X-BLADE is the best, and now we need to figure out how to forge it," Xehanort addressed, "any suggestions?"
Demyx raised his hand.
"Yes, Demyx?"
"Um," Demyx lowered his hand, "what's a X-BLADE?"
XEHANORT WAS SO SHOCKED AT THIS QUESTION THAT THE POOR OLD MAN FAINTED IN SHOCK. The rest of the Organization gave a horrified gasp.
"Demyx!" Xemnas shouted, "look what you did to Xehanort, his poor old heart couldn't take your stupidity!"
So, sadly, Demyx had to be kicked out of the Organization, seeing as having him around seemed too hazardous to Xehanort's health.
BUT! Before Xemnas could kick the sitar-lover out, Master Xehanort got back to his feet.
"Don't worry, youngling," said Xehanort, "the X-BLADE is only the best thing ever! Which you will find out very soon."
Master Xehanort proceeded to evil smile, and then evil laugh to go with it; thinking about the X-BLADE made him that happy, it seems. So, in very sad news, Demyx wasn't kicked out of the Organization that day.
"Can we just get on with the meeting?" Vanitas looked up from his Gameboy in annoyance.
Good thing there weren't any Unversed around. Yet.
"Yeah, hurry up so I can time travel back to Destiny Islands!" yelled Young Xehanort, who was texting his girlfriend from Destiny Islands on his cellphone (because he can send texts back in time, duh).
Luxord glared at him,"I thought I was the time guy!"
"Not anymore, loser!" shouted Young Xehanort.
Luxord wiped away a tear, "Well, at least I still have my cards!"
"Cards that can't time travel!" Young Xehanort bragged.
"NO KIDS DON'T FIGHT!" Master Xehanort scolded.
"But, but…" Luxord stuttered, "do I still have time powers?"
"Only TIME will tell, " Master Xehanort explained, laughing at his own joke.
It was such a funny joke that nobody (not even the Nobodies) laughed, it was just that funny. Master Xehanort was very pleased at himself for being so great at comedy.
But this was a meeting, not a comedy show. So Xehanort couldn't enjoy their wonderful non-laughter at his hilarious jokes.
"I have a suggestion!" Marluxia vigorously waved his hand.
"Yes, what is it?" Master Xehanort asked.
"We could have a fashion show! The X-BLADE will be so amazed at the fact that I'll be there that it will come to us just to get my autograph!"
Master Xehanort pondered this suggestion for a while, you know it could possibly…
"No, no, no! That couldn't work! We haven't even forged the X-BLADE yet! How could it come to us?!"
"Because, duh, the show will be sooooo fashionable, the X-BLADE will appear!"
"Does the X-BLADE even like fashion?" Demyx asked a very reasonable question. Surprising for Demyx.
"Um, who doesn't?" Marluxia hair-flipped, flower petals appeared around him.
"I think I could lure the X-BLADE with my sick tunes," Demyx strummed his sitar.
"You mean, because the music is so bad the X-BLADE will come to destroy it?" Marluxia hair-flipped again, this time looking in the mirror.
Poor Demyx almost fell off his chair, but no one helped him up. Because no one liked him. Poor Demyx.
Once Demyx regained his position on his chair and glared at the other Xehanorts, he comforted his poor sitar.
"It's okay, sitar, he didn't mean that!"
Everyone ignored Demyx and his sitar after that, because how could Demyx have any good suggestions? Instead, Master Xehanort turned to Vanitas, Vanitas had used the X-BLADE before, after all.
"Vanitas, do you have any suggestions on how to get the X-BLADE?!"
Vanitas didn't look up from his Gameboy this time.
"Vanitas?" Master Xehanort questioned again.
Vanitas didn't look up.
"I could shoot him!" Xigbar suggested.
Master Xehanort shook his head, "No, no, no, I got this….."
"VANITAS!" Master Xehanort shouted, "X-BLADE!"
Vanitas jolted in his chair and then sighed, "Well, you can't expect me to think in a boring castle like this, now can you?!"
Xemnas was offended.
"Woah, what do you mean boring? The Organization has shared so many family memories in this castle."
Xemnas wiped away a tear, drifting down memory lane.
Everybody who was in the old Organization rolled their eyes. Classic Xemnas.
Marluxia fluffed his hair while looking in the mirror, "No, I agree with Vanitas, this castle is soooo boring, and lame, and unfashionable!"
"And it's for little babies too!" Larxene added.
"Exactly," agreed Marluxia.
Vanitas nodded in approval at the two of them, "See Xemnas? This castle is just so lame, it's so behind on the times, so dull and boring. You could even say it's 'too slow,' just like you, Xemnas."
"Did-did you just say I was too slow?!" Xemnas stuttered.
"Yeah, because it's true."
"The kid's got a point, dude, you are extremely slow!" Xigbar pointed out.
"TOO slow," Vanitas corrected.
But Xemnas being too slow was something they could all agree on, except for Xemnas, who was now crying.
"Stop bullying Xemnas!" said Master Xehanort.
"Well, we're leaving this castle anyway," Marluxia announced, "and we'll get our own X-BLADE too!"
"Yeah," Larxene fist-bumped Marluxia.
"Let's go and leave these losers behind!" Vanitas tucked his Gameboy under his arm and stormed off with Marluxia and Larxene.
BUT SINCE SAIX ALWAYS HAPPENS TO GET BACK FROM GROCERY SHOPPING WHENEVER SOMEONE'S ABOUT TO LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION…well, they all ran into Saix at the Castle's Exit That Never Was.
"EWWWW! A SAIX!" Marluxia screamed upon seeing Saix's hideous face.
"Where the hay are you going?" asked Saix, who was carrying about 358,000,000 shopping bags.
"We're leaving the Organization!" shouted Vanitas.
Sadly, Saix couldn't reply because he was too busy being crushed by all those grocery bags.
Poor Saix.
But since they were all too distracted by laughing at Saix, the rest of the Organization was able to catch up. Which was very sad, if you ask me because Xemnas really was too slow.
"You can't just leave the Xehanort Organization!" said Xehanort.
"Oh, really?" questioned Marluxia.
"Yeah," Luxord muttered, "otherwise I would've left years ago."
"You haven't even been here for years!"
"And by 'years' I mean whenever that one kid stole my position as the Time Guy!"
Young Xehanort stuck out his tongue and then went back to time-travel texting his Destiny Islands girlfriend.
But then Young Riku, who was also Xehanort, walked over to Vanitas and the other's side, he crossed his arms and glared at the other Xehanorts.
"Actually, I agree with these guys, this castle is the worst."
Xemnas wiped yet another tear from his eyes, "You're only saying that because you didn't share all our family memories!"
Marluxia and Larxene held back a laugh.
"Yeah, but we did," said Larxene, "and we don't want to stay here, either!"
"Yeah, I never liked it here anyway!" Marluxia agreed.
There was a seemingly dying Saix on the floor, being crushed under the weight of 358,000,000 grocery bags, but no one cared about that.
So, after a fair amount of arguing, it came to the decision that they should vote: who wanted to stay at the Castle That Never Was and who wanted to find a new castle.
But since this happened to be a good moment for a To Be Continued, the words 'To Be Continued' appeared, and so began the next chapter of ORGANIZATION XEHANORT! (and other adventures.)
And if you didn't get it the first time, I'll say it again…
TO BE CONTINUED.
