Kingdom Hearts: Apocolypse ~ Volume 1 - Space (Chapter 8)

Chapter 8 - Organization XII - The Mind is a Dangerous Place

The Organization was sitting in the Throne Room. "So, what information have we gathered on the mysterious beasts?" asked Xemnas with curiosity.

"According to my research, they all have a trace of radiation that is harmless, but nothing else has been confirmed." Vexen answered with disappointment. "I have, however, made something that may help us find out more about as to how they came here." He gets out 13 pairs of goggles. "These can access other beings' minds, sifting through memories will only be a matter of where to look.

Each member, except the missing one, put on the goggles. "Who should we look into first?" Demyx sinisterly asked. He then tried to gain access to Axel's mind.

"Hey! No going in there!" Axel pushes Demyx's mind back. "You shall not pass!"

Zexion's mind stands between both of the opposing elemental foes. "Calm down, you both are so childish."

The twelve enter the dungeon, ganging up on Maleficent's mind. "What?! You again, stay out of here!" The Organization easily overpowered Maleficent's corrupted mind, entering a dark forest.

"This is Maleficent's mind?" Luxord said disgusted. "There's nothing here but wilderness and darkness."

Saix glanced at the ever-glowing green, full moon. "This witch has no taste, a green moon?"

Several large crows fly through the air, blocking the way further. "Allow me to take care of those rats-with-wings!" Xigbar merely shoots them all down. "Wait, we can use weapons inside someone's mind?"

The Organization arrives at a warped Hollow Bastion. "Crap, here we go again..." Xaldin sighed in reluctance to face his old master's castle again.

Within the castle rose multiple shadows of Maleficent, which Larxene easily dispatched. "Easier than pi!"

As they reached the Chapel, they saw that a portal was seeping pure darkness in. "What a disgusting place, darkness has pretty much consumed her, yet here she is." Lexeaus spat.

The twelve nobodies entered the portal, entering a room with thorny vines encompassing the entire room. "What an insult to me!" Marluxia shot at angrily. "This is total disrespect!"

Dragon Maleficent fell from the roof, roaring with rage and breath stinking of evil. "Get out of my mind!" the Dragon demanded.

"Not a chance, witch!" the twelve nobodies said in unison. All of them pummeled the dragon, making it explode. Instead of a heart coming out, a single card remained of the terrible beast.

"Hm, a card used in Castle Oblivion." commented Zexion. "Perhaps if we touch it..." Zexion grabbed the card, it filling his mind with Maleficent's memories. Zexion then tosses it to the rest of the twelve. "Have fun with that, but remember to drop it here when you're done."

They leave the card and Maleficent's mind, she was gasping for air. "Curse you, Organization XIII! Curse you!"

Chapter 8 - Keybladers & Co. - Torn in Half, Literally

Sora fell out of his seat, gasping for air. So did Kairi, but only Riku was perfectly fine. "Sora! Kairi!" Riku rushed them both to the Medical Bay.

Sora clutched his chest, feeling as if he was ripped apart. "Ack, it feels like I'm torn in half, literally!"

Kairi does the same, nearly fainting. "So... ra..."

Riku explains Mickey what happened. Donald and Goofy can only hope that everything will turn out fine. "Autopilot - approaching Disney Castle."

The gummi ship lands in Disney Castle, where Sora and Kairi are rushed to the Hospital.

Chapter 8 - The Nobody Party - Reawakening..... Traverse Town again?

Riku Replica falls to the floor panting. "Whew, that was some hard work, first penetrating a person's dream then sustaining a darkness skinsuit."

Roxas and Namine are standing over their captor. "You're that Riku from Castle Oblivion."

Riku Replica nodded in approval. "Yes, that's me. I'm that fake Riku."

Roxas looked confused, eyeing him suspiciously. "Castle Oblivion? I heard that before, back when I was in the Organization." He then looked around. "Oh great, Traverse Town again?"

Namine and Roxas carried Riku Replica into the old Accessory Shop. They laid the fake down on the couch. "Thank you, wait, this is how you treat your captors?" All three of them laughed like one happy family. "Anyway, I need your help. The Organization is probably free by now."

Roxas and Namine jump back in surprise "Or... Organization XIII is back?!" The pair said together.

'B... But how?! They were all defeated!" Roxas asked the clone of Riku.

"Heh, they escaped by a deal with Hades, they defeat the Titans and they go free." Riku Replica answered. "The accursed group chose me to go free as their thirteenth person." He gets up and passes out some accessories and items gathered from around town. "Rest up, we're going after the Organization."

 

ZOTT!! IT'S THE RIKU REPLICA!!!! *hugs* I love him; I even named him. His name is Travis. The inflitration of Malificent's mind was interestingly well-written... Off to read the rest of the chapters. I justhad to say that I <3 Travis.
