Organization IV

Maxsodin was somewhere dark, but she could see perfectly. A figure materialized out of the darkness. Se squinted and made out who it was. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. It was Xemnas!
I must be dreaming... she thought to herself.
"Hello Maxsodin, Number III, the Unstable Dark."
She shook her head, chuckling quietly. "And my greetings to you, Xemnes, Number I, the Superior, former head of Organization XIII."
"It is not just I that is here, my child. The whole of Organization XIII dwell here, where we cannot escape nor make contact with the outside world. In fact, only you we have been able to even communicate with, through your dreams or not. For some reason, we cannot reach the others in your Organization."
A dream, maybe, but real none the less...
Xemnes placed his fist under his chin in a thoughtful position. "Perhaps we can contact you because of your... unique... connection with the Darkness itself."
"Perhaps..." Maxsodin thought it sounded logical. It was just another odd power she was granted. Nothing out of the ordinary as of late.
"Anyway, anyway," said Xemnes, waving his hand as if shooing away off-topic thoughts. "I haven't come to you to talk about how this is possible; I have important information for you!"
Maxsodin really didn't know how to respond this time.
Xemnes didn't seem to notice. A paper appeared in his hand and he cleared his throat. "Yes, ahem, hem! Well, when you, Maxsodin, control and or summon Darkness in any shape or form, there is a connection, a pathway of sorts, opened up between you and the Darkness. When said pathway is opened, the Darkness has a choice to attempt to turn the tables; to control you instead of you controlling it. When this happens you must be in full strength and health in order to fight it off. If not, the Darkness can and will take over your being."
"Wh-what do you mean?" This did NOT sound good.
Xemnes looked up from his paper at Maxsodin. "It means that if you are not capable to fight off the Darkness, it will invade your being. In other words, you will not be controlling yourself. You will have no power over what the Darkness wished to do with you, your powers, or your knowledge."
"So, should I just NOT use my powers at all?" Maxsodin was both confused and slightly deflated.
Xemnes chuckled a dry chuckle that lacked any mirth. "No no, dear child! You just must be careful when you DO use your powers. And, of course, who you use it around."
Maxsodin stared blankly at Xemnes.
He sighed. "Look, Maxsodin, your Organization's goal is to defeat Sora and destroy Kingdom Hearts, right?"
"Right..."
"And I'm sure Nexan, your Superior, would take advantage of anything to acheive these goals quicker and easier...?"
"Of course!"
"Then I'm sure if she knew about the awful strength you gained when controlled by the Darkness-"
"That she'd want to find a way to activate it at her will!" This was getting worse and worse!
Xemnes nodded and began to fade. "The dawn nears, dearest Maxsodin. It is time we depart."
"Wait! I need your help!" Maxsodin cried, desperately trying to reach the fading figure.
"Don't worry," the voice seemed to echo in the darkness around Maxsodin as Xemnes disappeared. "We are always watching you and your friends. We will meet again soon."


Maxsodin snapped her eyes open. She was in her room. It was all a dream.
But unlike dreams, every detail was and stayed fresh in Maxsodin's mind. Dream or not, it was all real. She could no longer be truly safe in the Organization.

But where else could she possibly go?

She had to stay.

For better...

But more likely for worse.
