Though things may be going well in Maxy's World, all hell was breaking loose back at the Castle. Braxyd and Nexan had already left to go hunt out Maxsodin, which left Xahssa in control of the other members.
It was easy at first, really, for everyone was busy.
Daxjorn was off in the library, reading up about different battle strategies from the Keyblade Wars, hoping to pick up something regarding fans of any kind. She had already gone through several volumes, and nothing had turned up to her disappointment.
Seycax had herself up to elbows in dirt, trying to make the outside of the Castle look pretty. There were tons of plants behind her, ranging from Morning Glory's to Magnolias. Nobody knew that she liked gardening (even if she does is a mystery to all), but everyone soon found out she was not the Heartless for the job due to the messy flowerbeds and poor mangled bushes.
Xanhan had tests to run concerning ILL. She believed that she could somehow improve the pill's method of killing the Darkness in Number III's mind. Since the Darkness was tied so closely with Maxsodin, it was most likely have repercussions on her when she ingested the pill, ranging from migranes, stomach aches and schizophrenia.
All Xahssa had to do was make sure they didn't kill each other and Nexan would be pleased. Having nothing to do, she decided to take a nap, because everyone loves naps. Sadly, that was what screwed them all over.
Number II is a paranoid Nobody, and she doesn't like anyone but Organization members even looking at the gates of the Castle. She especially doesn't like it when Heartless manage to get their way past. It didn't matter what Max said about them being good pets; they gave Xahssa the creeps.
So when about 10 Dusks wiggled their way through the gates and up the steps to the Castle, there was Nobody to alert the others about what was going on (Seycax was in the back gardens, because that place is really disgusting and needed some bushes to spice up the scenery).
They moved quickly and silently up the stairs and banged their fists against the door. Daxjorn, in the library which is quite close to the parlor, groaned in exasperation. Goodness. Did Braxyd lock himself out, again? She wandered down the hall and to the large door.
"C'mon Brax, you need to remember whe-" Her sentence ended with a shriek as she flew back from the door and the Dusks burst into the Castle. Daxjorn tried summoning her fans, but one Dusk launched at her, looking ready to kill.
There was a dark ball of energy, radiating Darkness and fire at the same time. The fire spiked around the Darkness with the Darkness fighting against the fire. Dream Xahssa gazed at it dreamily. It was so pretty. . .
Then it shifted, creating a suspended orb of swirling wind with strands of curling water dancing around it. The wind would try to seize the water with a great gust, but the water would weave it's way out.
Then there was a soft melody coming from the center of the orb and from that orb grew space, gradually consuming the wind and water. The music grew louder and louder and the smell of burning filled Dream Xahssa's nose. Lightning struck with a quick movement, and the whole image disappeared.
In it's place was what Dream Xahssa assumed to be Kingdom Hearts. She heard murmuring around her but she couldn't hear what it was. She strained her ears more and more until she heard a faint cry.
"Xahssa! Xahssa! The Castle is under attack!"
