I was sleeping, and then I awoke; it was as simple as that. But simplicity ended there.

I propped myself up on an elbow, winced as pain stabbed through my head, and looked around. The place wasn't familiar. I scanned it a few more times, trying to make a connection. None were forthcoming.

I wondered where in the castle... the castle! It hit me so hard I sat bolt upright, adding fresh pain to the dull throb in my head. I wasn't in the castle! Where was I? How'd I get here? What happened?

I couldn't answer any of them, adding to an ever increasing amount of panic building in the back of my mind. In truth, I couldn't remember anything beyond Nexan's "Tell them she's awake".

The panic and curiosity would have overwhelmed me if the door hadn't opened. Sora walked in, saw me awake, and his face was clouded with relief, fear, and disappointment. Suddenly, my head cleared and replaced the panic with a engulfing sense of failure, though I didn't understand why I felt that way.

"Max..." he sat at the end of the bed, chin resting on his folded hands.

I tried to speak, to make up some reason to justify whatever I had done, but I was choked; choked by that feeling of utter failure.

After some time of silence, Sora looked at me, his eyes and expression betraying nothing.

"Max," he said, his voice also unrevealing. "Do you know what happened?"

I spoke before I could even think about what to say. "I lost control."

Slowly, I realized what I had said, and accepted it. It made sense, but it also increased that failure feeling inside me until I'm sure I reeked of it.

Sora looked at me with slight surprise now. "So that's what happened... can you-"

"No," I shook my head, anticipating the question. "I can't remember what happened, I just... know..."

"Ah."

I averted my eyes, a bit shamed to admit my inability to maintain control. After a minute, though, I couldn't bear to wait any longer.

"Sora, could you-"

It was his turn to anticipate. "I already sent Riku and Kairi to check on your friends. If somethings wrong, one of them can report back here while the other stays to help out. If nothing's wrong... then I guess we won't be seeing them for a while."

Sora saw the relived and tense look on my face, but did nothing. There was nothing he could do. He stood and headed to leave.

"Sora?"

"Yea-" I cut him off as I jumped out of bed and hugged him.

"Thank you..."

He hugged me back, and I cried in his arms. There was no longer any justification for my actions, no reason for me to have done what I did. I had done a great evil, and I was ready to pay the consequences.

After my tears stopped flowing, Sora held me at arms length and searched my fearful grey-blue eyes. "We'll get through this. Together."

I sniffed and nodded, trusting his every word.

He smiled and patted me on the head. "I got some rules here, though, if you're gonna stay."

I looked up, attentive.

"First of all, you can't wear your organization robe here." I gave him a distressed look and he smiled. "Don't worry. The closet back there has a whole bunch of clothes from when I was younger. Something should at least part-way fit you."

I looked back at the closet in the room I had woken up in, and nodded.

"I'll expect you awake and dressed in time for lunch, and then we'll work on control, 'kay?"

"'Kay..." I mumbled, a bit worried, and a whole lot excited.

Sora left and shut the door behind him. I stared at it for a minute, then wandered over to the closet, throwing the doors open.

I browsed the clothes absentmindedly, not really looking. My mind was elsewhere. But one thing caught my eye, and brought my mind back to the task at hand. I reached into the far corner, and brought forth and outfit. Roxas's outfit.

I stared spellbound at it, regaining faint wisps of memories. I heard voices, too faint to make out, but there tone's where distinguishable. I heard Xemnas, Axel, Xion... and shook my head. I didn't need to be draw back.Not now.

It only took a minute to shed my organization clothes and put Roxas's on. There were a bit big, not exactly made for my type of body, but they didn't fall off when I jumped and ran and tried to shake them off. To me, that meant it fit perfect.

It was slightly unnerving to wear Roxas's clothes. Words like traitor flashed through my mind, and it was a bit difficult to ignore them. But one call from Sora and my mind's attention was relocated. I scrambled out the door to find Sora, and turn over a new leaf as a better, more dependable Max.

I had no idea how hard that would be.

I clung to the last horrifying wisps of unconsciousness, until they were all gone. All that was holding the world back was my shut eyes.

I snapped them open and suppressed a scream. Surely I was dead. Faded. Gone. No more. It took me the longest time to realize that I was breathing. Oh god, I wasn't dead!

I became dizzy with relief and horror all at the same time. Oh god no, it wasn't over!

I took me forever to get a grip; it was so hard to do now a days. I took stock of where I was.

I was in a room, on a bed, alone. Correction, I was locked in a room, strapped to a bed, left to die. That nursed my injured pride a little better.

I submerged myself in the feelings of desolation and nevermore. It gave reason to everything I was doing, planning on doing. See, I heard myself think, they don't care for you at all. Go on, kill them. But that persistent doubt was still there. Morals, Xemnas said they were. Weakness.

That was the last straw. I couldn't have weakness. I concentrated all my energy on the straps holding me down. They were eaten away by the darkness and I jumped from the bed, landing on my feet and ready for action. Well at least I was until I became aware of how drained my strength was as I stumbled on my first step and fell to my hands and knees, breathing hard to keep a hold on my fragile consciousness.

There must have been a camera or something I overlooked, for as I stood back up, leaning heavily on the bed for support, Nexan, Xahssa, and Xahnan burst into the room. They all froze as I locked eyes with them. I could see the unsureness in their eyes and their hesitation to make any assumptions. This was the perfect opportunity to do what Xemnas said. To kill them. But I couldn't bing myself to make the first move.

"Max..." Nexan took a step towards me. I felt myself take a step back, even though every fiber of my being was screaming to lunge forward and grab her shoulder and disintegrate her.

Nexan hesitated once more as she saw me step back. She looked into my eyes. I hoped she couldn't see how much conflict was going on inside myself. It was a vain wish.

"Xahssa..." Nexan said without taking her sympathetic gaze off of me. "Go get the others. Tell them.... tell them Max is awake."

"What do you mean Max is back?!?!?" Xahssa cringed. Oops, to loud I guess.
"Can you lower your voice please? And I mean what it sounds like. Max is back in the castle." Just great. What I needed today. As much as I feel awful about what happened...Did I really want to see her right now? I could barely defend myself against the heartless she HAD to have sent a couple days ago. How was I going to handle her now? Looks like I would have to find a new hiding place.
"Xahssa, do I still need to "babysit" her? I don't think I exactly can right now." My shoulder. I hadn't gotten it healed. I was trying to get it to heal naturally, but it was taking to damn long.
"Nexan's thinking it over. We know what happened wasn't all you fault, but you've gotten really close to her and can kind of predict some of  what she's going to do next. That'll all be decide after she wakes up. And after she gets the ILL." she gave me a look. It was obvious that she knew about me chickening out of giving it to Max. I just couldn't. "I don't think that Nexan will put you in charge of her until your shoulder's at least healed. Right now, Max is dead to the world though. She passed out after running into the Superior. You have some time to find a place to hide. I suggest you make use of it." I nodded.
"I will. Thanks for warning me. I'm glad we actually get along now."
"And, will you help VII train. She's been fidgety since Brax got back."
"Yeah, I'll head there now." I locked up the library. I would have to make sure to do that now. I don't want a repeat of last time. And then I set off to find Dax.

Found Her.

Nexan walks into Max's room, hoping to find some clues as to what she was up to in Halloween Town. Se scans the item scattered all over the desk, floor and bed. Nexan can see lumpy shaped objects hidden under the bed, where she walks to sit and think. After a while, she picks up a torn, ragged paper and starts to read the writing scrawled every which way on the paper. All Nexan could make out was "Xemnas speaks to... Destroy.... Will help me if I..... Kill them all." She jumps up and runs out of the room, looking for the one person that could decipher the rest of the writing.

****************************************************

Xahssa sat there quietly, observing the new kid and Daxjorn fight. Well, she wasn't really watching them. She was more or less using them for an excuse to sit and do nothing. Well, not really doing nothing. She was too busy thinking about what was happening. Nexan was losing patience, Max was MIA, Braxyd was off playing hero with Mickey, Xanhan was working herself sick with trying to fix ILL, Seycax was in critical condition, Daxjorn was Daxjorn, and Lexamich was. . . well, who knew about that kid? Either way, the Organization was falling deeper and deeper into the hole they dug themselves. And right now, it doesn't seem like they're getting out any time soon.

***************************************************

"MAX?" Nexan looked down at her friend and rubbed her forehead. "Ouch. Speak of the devil." Maxsodin and Nexan had collided headfirst when Maxsodin had unknowingly transported herself in Nexan's direct path. The force had knocked out Maxsodin, who was starved and weakened from her excessive use of Darkness. Nexan opened a portal to the hospital wing and dragged the knocked-out Maxsodin into it.

Once Nexan had Maxsodin restrained into the bed incase she woke up insane again, she ran to the training room to find the other members, leaving the scrap of paper in the hall outside Maxsodin's room.

Oh god, what was I doing!?
It was hard to place one foot after the other. My entire being screamed to do otherwise. I was shaking uncontrollably with the urge to turn around and run. But I couldn't. This was probably my only chance. This would probably be my only brief respite between insanity.

Slowly, I grabbed the door and opened it. I stared inside, half expecting to be killed that very second. I stood in the doorway, waiting for that second to come.

I finally came to the eye-opening realization that I wasn't going to be killed by standing in the doorway. I stepped inside.

Oh god oh god oh god oh god.... I looked around. I didn't see any of the other members at the moment. I went to take another step when something tugged on the hem of my robe.

I looked down. It was Finnick, one of my heartless. His round, yellow eyes were brimmed with sorrow. He tugged again, pleading for me not to go.

I bent down and picked him up, hugging him. I didn't want to either. I didn't want to die.

When I opened my eyes he had sulked off, and I was left alone in the castle again. Carefully, I crept further in.

I knew as soon as another member saw me, I was dead. I took extra precaution not to be seen anywhere any sane person would go.

Apparently though, I had gotten too confident. All I heard was "MAX!?" before everything went black.

It was a fitful unconsciousness. And as soon as I saw Xemnas looming into my view, I knew it would be worse than fitful. It would be a nightmare.

It was my first day out of the hospital wing. Finally. After a week of constant boredom I was happy to be free. Now I know how...not going there. My shoulder twitched at the thought.
I was rummaging around for any files left by the previous organization. They had to have left some kind of clues about what to do. Max couldn't just be.... not going down that path either.
Skimming my hand down the long line of volumes, I stopped at one. It wasn't very old. Xemnas's reports. The ones Sora collected. There had to be something in them. Right?
Pulling the thick volume off the shelf, I saw something from the corner of my eye. A shadow. The heartless kind.
I barely had time to pull out my arrow and rip through the darkened, flesh-like substance that was the heartless.
They were here. I had to warn the rest. I sounded the alarm. This wasn't good. They had to have been looking for something. They had never come near the library before.
Max, just what are you doing?

I woke up suddenly, out of breath. And I didn't know why. I sat up and looked around, confused. Where was I? I looked at the heartless sleeping around me, clinging to my legs arms and curled up next to where my head had been. I remembered everything with grueling detail.

My head snapped to the right as another heartless waddled into view. Upon seeing me awake, he ran over and clung to my shoulder lovingly with his sharp little claws, unaware he was gauging my flesh while doing so. It was okay, though. I was unaware of it too.

We're so sorry! I heard him say in my head.

I tilted my head curiously. About what?

He nuzzled against my cheek, snuggling his velvety soft head under my chin. We failed you! We didn't kill the girl!

I twirled one of his antenna around my finger. It's okay, I... I stopped myself. No, I couldn't tell him I didn't want her to die in the first place. That would confuse him, mar his natural instinct to maul on sight. And that could end fatally for us both. Your failure will be tolerated this time.

The heartless brighten up considerably, taking the liberty to rouse the sleeping heartless around me. "Wake up, Mistress is ill!", "Wake up, Mistress is feeling sad!", and "Wake up, Mistress is not pleased with you!" were just a few of the threats he used to get the heartless off their butts faster.

I was bombarded with questions about how I was feeling, my health, and apologies for failing to do better. I answered them all simultaneously. I feel fine guys. And you're all doing great! I'm so proud of you all!

Immediately, the heartless ignored me and began discussing how many people they had killed. I stood and walked further away from the group so it would be easier to block out their gruesome bragging.

Seycax was not dead. That fact overwhelmed me with both relief and anxiety. She wasn't dead, I hadn't caused her to die, but now if the Organization wasn't going to learn about my betrayal before, they certainly were now. I breathed in slow deep breaths. I was feeling drained from using my power so much the day before, but I knew it was because I hadn't used it in so long. I was a bit rusty, but Xemnas had said to use my power without restraint now. He said I would soon get used to it once more.

The less I concentrated on the Organization and Seycax, the better I felt inside. I rapidly filled my head with work to be done, and forced my emotions and worries to the far corner of my mind. I walked over to the heartless.

Usually, the heartless didn't have names. They simply communicated with each other by speaking directly into the mind of whatever heartless they wished to address. There was no need for them to call to one another by name. But, for the sake of their Mistress, they allowed me to give them names to order them around by.

Kyle! I said. The heartless who had found me awake looked up. Take three others and ransack the libraries. Take everything that could be useful to us. Books on heartless, nobodies, darkness, Organization XIII, anything you think would have something useful in it.

Yes Mistress. He relied and bound off with three other heartless right behind him.

Chase! Richie! The two heartless turned. Search for any survivors. If they don't seem useful, kill them. But if they do, bring them back.

Yes Mistress! They chimed happily, and dashed off.

Nate! Steve! Two others looked hopefully at me. Look around for any other heartless or dusks sulking around this place. Round them all up and bring them back here.

Yes Mistress! They hopped away in a third direction then the last two groups.

I was down to the last handful of heartless. The rest of you, see if you can find any places for me to spread the darkness. Report back here when you do so I can take care of it straight away.

Yes Mistress! The remaining heartless scattered into the shadows.

I walked over and stared at the view of the wrecked town from my vantage point at the highest place in the town. I was left alone with simply my thoughts and my worries for what the near future might hold.

I woke up to see sunlight streaming through the window of the healing room. Taking a quick glance around, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in when I noticed no one was in the room with me. Then a rush of thought seemed to come all to quickly.
Max. Halloween Town. The diary. It was all my fault. I had left the diary unlicked after she had seen where it was. I should have know she would find someone to open the doors for her.
The door opened and in came Xahssa. My shoulder gave an involuntarry pain.
"You want to exlpain?" She was definatly upset. Not that I blamed her.
"She went insane, I thought I could stop her. We got in a giant fight, she was trying to completly COVER Halloween Town in darkness. She lost control and left me for dead. What was I supposed to do? I thought I was dead for sure. I'm not even sure how I was able to portal out." I felt her eyes rake over my body, trying to determine if I was telling the truth or not. The pain in my shoulder was killer.
"Is that right?"
"Yeah. I should've grabbed the diary. Should have listned to Nexan earlier and given her the ILL. She's probably out there, alone, scared. Its my fau-"
"Will you stop that."
"What? I thought you would be mad?"
"Of course I am! But I realize all of it isn't your fault. Your hurt. You tried. And you almost died. That's enough for one day."
"Really?"
"Yes. Im not giving up on her yet and neither are you. But we have to wait. And watch."

in the black

"WHAT THE HELL!" i was sprinting faster than ever but my body was supper heavy.

i saw max and seycax. Max opened a potrtal and seycax followed.

"WAIT!" i was to late, they had already left. i went to 6 differnt world looking for them.

Traverse town, no... Twilight town, no... i had started to worry i began to look faster, Wonder land, NO, NO, NO! when i finaly got to holloween town i was almost to late.

"wha- wha, WHAT HAPPENED?" it was all destroied well exept for the town center there was a giant pool of heartless. then a portal opened seycax escaped but now i had a bigger problem there was a giant heartless. Over 500 feet tall i had a big problem i materialized my staff and and beat the hell out of that thing! the towns safe for now

Hurt

I was shocked. One of my best friends had just left me for dead. Glancing around, I was defiantly outnumbered. This wasn't a good situation in any way shape or form. And there were more of them coming.
Drawing my arrows, I shot as many as I could, before everything went black. The last thing I remember was desperately trying to open a portal, to anywhere, and realizing this could actually be the end.
______________________________________________________________________________________
                                                         Max
I looked back. I promised myself I wouldn't, but I did. Just in time to see my friends pounce on her.. And then it hit me. I had just killed one of my friends. One of the ones who would stay by me no matter what. We had one fight and I just...killed her. But she deserved it. Right? Now I couldn't go back to the castle. They would be mad, turn on me. The only person I have left it Xemans. He understands. He made the same decision. Better get back to work.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
                                                       Seycax
I was started awake. I was alive....and very much in pain. My shoulder. It throbbed. And I was alone with no potions, just perfect. Now I know to listen next time Xahssa says, always be prepared. For anything. But, wait, I'm alive? The heartless? Halloween Town?! Glancing around, I saw I was in Traverse Town? This is one place I haven't been in a while. Standing up and brushing myself off I made a portal. Or, tried to. Of course, Max drained it. Guess I was staying a while. Setting off down the alleyway, I hurried to Small House. It would be odd spending the night there. I hadn't in nearly 11 years.
                                               Next Day
I woke up refreshed. It felt odd being anywhere then the castle. Guess I had really gotten attached in the time I had stayed there.  My shoulder was starting to heal nicely, but that would be fixed the second I got back. Now, attempting to open a portal, worked. Let's just hope they aren't all to mad.
Stepping out into the round room I saw everyone else in their chairs. Shock was evident in their faces. And then I went black.

Betrayal

"Max?" Seycax asked as she saw the member in the hallway alone. She appeared to be sleeping while leaning against the wall, but her head snapped up after hearing her name."Yeah? What's up VI?" she stretched.

"Your nightmares." Seycax brought up their previous conversation.

Max's ears flushed and she suddenly became really interested in her feet, shifting her weight nervously. "Yeah... what about them?"

Seycax eyed her funny, then shrugged. "Nothing. You just woke up screaming last night is all."

It was Max's turn to shrug. "I wake up screaming a lot."

Seycax inspected her hand. "I know, but last night seemed worse. You were crying." She looked up to see Max's reaction.

Max muttered under her breath, "With good reason..." then looked Seycax in the eyes, her voice keyed and a bit overly loud for the causal conversation. "Is that right?"

Seycax frowned. "What do you mean 'with good reason'?"

"H-huh?" Max's eyes widened with unpleasant surprise. "I didn't say that..."

Seycax sighed. "Forgot about my super hearing, didn't you?"

Max's voice was monotone with dread. "You have super hearing?" She groaned and rolled her eyes.

Seycax shrugged again. "Yeah. I can kinda hear any sound within a 25 mile radius."

"Well that's just great..." Max narrowed her eyes sulkily. "Yeah, the night was nothing..." memories of that scream, the vision of the fading member all came back to Max with sickening detail. She shuddered. "Nothing at all...."

"Really?" Seycax tried to mask the doubt she was feeling. "Then you're well enough to sleep in the room Nexan cleaned out?"

Max squired uncomfortably. "I really... haven't been sleeping anymore..."

Seycax shook her head and tisked disapprovingly. "You're going to pass out eventually, and knowing you, you'll be doing something important when it happens."

"No I won't. I've sorta been.... functioning off of pure darkness for a while now..."

"YOU WHAT!?" Seycax exploded, forgetting how much her voice projected when she was shocked. She used her powers to lower it, staring at a cringing Max who was covering her ears. "Sorry..."

"S'okay..." Max knocked a hand onto her ear to un-deafen herself. "Yeah, it's a bit like being buzzed on coffee, with.... more side-effects."

Seycax did a facepalm. "When and where did you get coffee?"

Max shrugged, smiling slightly. "Well, Superior and I had some when we were awake at like... 3 in the morning a while back."

"And that was it?" Seycax was dreading a "no".

Max frowned sheepishly. "Yeah... I can't figure out how to make it on my own..."

Seycax motioned to Max and the two of them headed into the library. They sat at a small table and Seycax poured herself a small glass of whiskey, while Max made the most of her boredom by experimenting with her powers.Seycax downed the glass. "'Kay. I'm better now."

Max had a horrified expression on, then switched it for a tight smile as she turned to Seyax.

Seycax eyed her suspiciously. "On second thought..." she downed the whole bottle.

Max leaned in her chair to get a better look at something behind Seycax, still wearing her "HOE CRAP!" expression. "Yeah you might need that..."

Seycax turned around and sighed as she saw a puddle of darkness oozing on the floor. She turned back and eyed Max in a no-nonsense manner. "As long as it doesn't get out of control."

"'Kay!" Max smiled, but somehow it looked twisted to Seycax."Why are you looking at me like that?" By the way Max struggled to mask the smile. Seycax was sure it was twisted, and Max knew it as well.

"Like what?" was her response.

Seycax shook her head. "Never mind, stupid whiskey." She looked up and saw Max had fallen for the ploy.

Under the table, Max pulled out Xemnas's dairy and re-read the instructions he had given her. Then she quickly tucked it away and looked back up attentively. "I uh..."

Seycax looked at her. "What?"

Max didn't meet her eyes, instead focusing on a point behind her. "I have to uh... go... somewhere, um...." She stood.

Seycax waved her away and Max didn't hesitate. "Be back in time for dinner. Xahssa and VIII will kill you if you're not." Seycax stood and began to head deeper into the library.

Max sighed and muttered under her breath. "Now to Halloween Town..."

"What?" Max froze. She had totally forgotten about Seycax's super hearing. "You're not allowed out without an escort, III."

"I...I um... I..."

Seycax smiled. "If you want, I'll go with you."

Max didn't smile back. "Uh.... h-how much whiskey have you had?" She titled her head curiously.

"Just a bottle. Not much." Seycax frowned as if to warn Max. "I'm not even tipsy."

Max cringed hopefully. "Would you believe me if I told you I was allowed out on my own now?"

"I'm not that drunk yet."

Max stared at Seycax, seriously considering blasting her with darkness. It would be an efficient way make reaching Halloween Town easier.

"Why are you looking at me like that?' Seycax was feeling a bit unnerved by Max's harsh, unwavering stare. "Max...?"

Max flexed her fingers, concentrating the necessary power to destroy Seycax. "Oh nothing, VI. Don't concern yourself."

Seycax glared at her. "Let go of her!" she yelled. "That's not Max, that's the Darkness!"

Max blinked at her. "You're speaking nonsense. It's me, your friend." She gestured to herself. "It's Max."

Seycax continued to glare. "No it's not! I can tell!"

Max frowned, puzzled. What was she...? Max clutched her head.

Seycax heaved a sigh inwardly. "There you go, get control of yourself Max. You can do it."

Max blinked at her again and shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about VI. It's me!"

"Now it is."

Max's face creased in confusion. "Huh?"

Seycax became confused too. "You mean you don't remember what just happened?"

"What? Of course I do...!" Max jogged her memory, but no matter how hard she tried, the truth was she couldn't remember what had just happened. It was like her brain just didn't bother to store the last minute of memory.

"Really, what was I just saying?" Seycax was becoming increasingly worried and concerned. She herself had never seen or experienced Max loosing control, and now she knew why no one liked to discuss them.

"Uh...."

Seycax's frown deepened. "So you don't remember what just happened?"

"I told you I do!" Max said indignantly, but she was less than convincing, even to herself.

"Really?" Seycax sighed. "I know it wasn't you. It's okay."

The confusion on Max's face was rapidly becoming panic. "You're... you're not making sense.... I was here the whole time!"

Seycax tried to keep herself calm in an attempt to calm Max. "Physically maybe. The darkness took you over, Max. It was going to kill me. I saw in your.... its eyes."

Max looked at Seycax. What she was saying made sense. Max was suddenly overwhelmed with an urge to kill Seycax. She's seen too much, she knows to much! her head screamed. Max frowned and shook her head to dislodge the urge. "No.... I wouldn't do th-.... no, you're wrong!"

"No I'm not." Seycax was taking a stern tone with Max now. "I saw it. It gave me ultimatum, though, like it didn't want to kill me but would."

Something lit up in Max's face, something close to recognition. "That would mean..." then panic swarmed her emotions again. "VI! What time is it!?"

"8 o clock." Seycax thought it was time to out Max in her room for bed. "Why?"

The look of Max's face, a look of utter horrific terror, was enough to startle VI.

"SHI-!" Max cut herself off. "I've got to go... now!" She turned and ripped a portal open from thin air.

"Max? Where are you going?"Max ignored her, muttered hysterically. "I shoulda been then by now.... ooh, I'm late I'm late I'm late I'm late I'm late! I've got to destroy the place... Xemnas asked me to...-"

"Xemnas?" Anger and confusion invaded Seycax's emotions. "What the hell!?"

Max ignored her again.

"I'll follow you!" Seycax threatened determinedly.

"Don't!" Max whirled around, snarling with her eyes black. She then grunted and shook her head, blinking open semi-normal eyes. "For your own good, don't..."

"See? You're going in and out again. You'll hurt yourself!" Seycax tried to reach for Max, to keep her from leaving.

Max jerked away from Seycax's outstretched hand. "I'll be fine! The darkness has absolutely no reason to turn on my now!" She took in a deep breath to calm herself. "Look, I can't stop you from following me, but just... please... don't...." Then she stepped into the portal and it closed behind her.

Seycax stared at where Max had disappeared. "Think! Where was she going? She said earlier... Halloween Town! Well, I guess I know my destination..." She conjured up a portal and stepped through.

Max arrived in Halloween Town. Its destruction had already begun without her. Buildings were falling apart and smashed, purple fires burning on many of the roofs and some in the streets. The entire place was deserted except for the heartless and dusks that pillaged and ran ramped in the streets. Darkness oozed from the shadows and covered most of the town. It was Max's job to finish covering it.

Max sighed, a smile twitching at her mouth, threatening to expose her true emotions. "Better get to work..." She walked determinedly farther into the town, ignoring the heartless that bounced at her feet and hissed their malicious jubilee in her ears.

A voice stopped her in her tracts. "I'm not going to let you!"

Max whirled around to face Seycax, who was standing alone, shooing away a scared, yapping dog.

It took a minute for Max to realize how much danger VI was in by just standing there. The heartless that clawed adoringly at Max's heels were already dashing towards her, ecstatic to have a new victim to tear apart."Go away VI! This... wait you guys, STOP!" The heartless halted not far from Seycax, shoving at each other to get closer to VI, but none of them willing to disobey Max.

Max glared. "It's gotta be done."

"No it doesn't." Seycax countered.

"You don't understand, Seycax!" Max growled, but was choked by a sob caused by the overwhelming sense of total isolation.

Seycax felt sympathetic towards Max, but she knew it was no time to be soft with her. "Yes I do, to an extent at least. I know what its like to be alone, sure i had my brother, but do you know how emotional he is? Hes like a freak'n ice cube, till Raven I had no one. When i first came to the organization i had no one. The darkness took all that away from me. Like it took everything away from you. The only difference, you don't know what your missing."

Max's eyes melted into the one of her childhood, the soft innocent eyes she once had. Then that oh so brief moment was over, and they hardened again as she remembered her place, remembered all she had gone through to get to where she was now. "No, you're wrong. It took everything, so that I could have something, something better! Something I would never accept if it hadn't taken what I thought meant the world to me, and put me into perspective. It's given me power, VI. A power you can't begin to comprehend! Not a physical power like you've seen me use, but a power over myself, over things beyond life itself... this is all I have VI! And I won't let you stop it from letting me achieving greater!"Max turned sharply on her heel, trying so hard to do what she thought was right. Mentally, Max released the heartless from their restraints, and they swarmed forward again to have at Seycax.

Seycax glared murder at Max's back. "Then you're a traitor! As good as dead!" She glances a bit uneasily at the rapidly approaching heartless.

Mentally, Max signaled the heartless to stop again. They did, this time only a few feet from Seycax.

Slowly Max glances back at Seycax, her face ashen and void of expression. "Traitor?"

Besides the heartless right in her face, Seycax's blood was boiling. "Yeah, no better than one of us, who actually are heartless! Mickey's even better than you! At least he's trying to do good, not destroy!"

Max turned back around. "How would you know what I'm trying to do?"And with that, she walked off and disappeared into the smoking, darkness-oozing ruins of Halloween Town.

The heartless, shifted nervously. They had been given an order, but now there was no one to take the command away. It wasn't a few seconds after Max left that they attacked Seycax.

Communication

The door shut. The lock was turned. The lights were flipped off. All was well.

Max let out a sigh as she looked about the dark, pitch black room. Her room. Her eyes glowed slightly as she viewed the room as if it were in full daylight. Her room was a wreck. Piles of junk positioned around the room, shattered glass and various broken things scattered on the floor, and darkness oozing in small puddles on the floor and patches on the walls.

Drawing a feeling of safety from her element, Max withdrew Xemnas's diary from her coat. Placing it on the floor, she knelt over it and hovered her and above it. Shakily, she let her hand turn black; smothered in darkness. Breathing in short, shallow breaths, she placed her hand on the diary cover and drew in her breath sharp as it absorbed the darkness from her hand.

As soon as the careful process was over, Max scrambled onto her feet and grabbed the diary, sitting at her desk. She flipped it to a blank section near the back, and placed her hand on it again.

Xemnas? are you there? Max thought apprehensively.

She waited. After a minute, a voice echoed, a bit muffled, in her head.

I am here.

Max felt a rush of excitement. It had work! What he had said to do worked!

After composing herself, Max concentrated hard.

What do you want me to do? She thought, making sure the voice sounded clear in her head.

Another minute went by before she got an answer.

Halloween Town. Destroy it.

Max was taken aback. Why? Why would he want that? She looked at the diary. She thought about asking, but decided not to. He had told her to do it. Why would she question him?

I will, Xemnas. She finally replied.

She waited.

Good girl.

Max removed her hand and immediately felt drained. She staggered a few paces then fell to her hands, trying to blink away the spots in her vision. Everything felt far away.

It took a minute, but Max found the strength to stand again and did. She grabbed the diary, tucked it back in her coat, and flipped on the lights. Rubbing her eyes, Max turned the door nob to unlock the door. Then she staggered over to bed and collapsed, falling instantly asleep.

Confusion

"Hey Max. Can I talk to you? Out in the garden?" She looked at me uneasily. To be honest, I was a little uneasy myself. I didn't want to be the one to do it, but Nexan's orders and she had some valid points.
"Yeah, I guess." We walked out to the garden. I had been nurturing it like crazy and it was finally starting to look good, the only thing that just wouldn't grow? Sunflowers. Guess that was to be expected though.
"You all right? You've been acting funny the past couple of days. Nexan asked me to talk to you. I waited a little, but after last night, well, your nightmares and screaming woke me up." I shuddered. everything was amplified due to my powers.
"Yeah. I guess, I don't feel any different than normal." She was lying. I could see it in her face, they way she didn't look at me, and the shifting from foot to foot.
"Your lying to me and I can tell." She looked up, eyes expressionless.
"Can we just drop it? Just for now? I'm really tired. I didn't get much sleep, as you heard. Please?"
"Fine. Tomorrow. This is not over." She gave me a look of utter relief.
"Thanks." She gave me a small smile. And then ran back in the castle. I'm so weak, I just let her go, because she gave me puppy eyes. WTF?

Memories

My ears rung and all I could hear was the ragged breathing of myself. But it sounded so far away. The total exhaustion had me on my knees, holding my throbbing head in my hands. I waited apprehensively for it to happen again.

It wasn't two minutes that it did.

I could physically feel myself being dragged into my deep subconscious. I couldn't hear my scream as it ripped from my throat. And then everything was black.

Slowly, like before, a scene eased into view. A memory I had all but forgotten. I watched a small figure, not much more than a toddler, reach on tip toes for a door handle. I recalled, somehow, that the memory was during the depth of night, in a castle that was once home. The toddler opened the door, and eased it open slowly. She peaked inside, her eyes round as she tried to see into the even darker room. She called out in a whisper.

"Saix!"

There was no response. There was a twinge of fear and frustration from the girl, then she called again, a bit louder.

"Saix!"

Apprehension, and fear that she had called too loud into the engulfing silence. Then something stirred in the room and moaned a grunt of a question.

"Saix," the toddler said, easing the door open enough for her to fit through. She stood in the doorway, framed by the pale light of the hallway. "Can I sleep with you? I... I had a nightmare..."

There was no response, then the sound of someone shifting under some sheets. Saix sat up and loomed a silhouette in the dark room.

"Why don't you go bother Demyx?" was his ill-tempered reply, only worsened by his abrupt awakening.

The girl hesitated a moment, then moved a few unsteady paces into the room on her chubby baby legs. "But I want to be with you..."

Something in the cold depths of Saix melted for the girl, and he rolled onto the other side of the bed, not agreeing to her requests or denying them further.

There was no hesitation now as she covered the distance to the bed in hurried strides, made faster by the constant fear of monsters popping up behind her. In the toddlers eyes, the only safe place was beside Saix.

She grunted in exertion as she tried to pull herself onto the bed, her legs suspended in the air and only her chubby arms clinging to the bed that held her up.

After listening to her struggles, Saix rolled over and pulled her up, then rolled back over so his back was to the girl.

Even though Saix was on the very edge of the bed, and there was a vast sea of flowing white sheets and a fluffy mattress at her disposal, the toddler huddled in a ball against Saix's back and pulled the sheets off of Saix, huddling in them for comfort and protection. Saix lay with his golden eyes open, aware of the theft just committed against him. He turned stiffly as not to disturb the toddler, and was about to demand his sheets back. Yet again, as he saw the scared expression on her chubby face, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh.

"A nightmare?" he asked again, in a rather motherly voice for one so stoically cruel.

"Mnhm," she said, trembling besides the many sheets wrapped around her. She released her grip on them to hug Saix's arm. "But I know I'm safe here... you'll scare away the big bad nightmares, won't you?"

Saix stared at the girl clinging to his arm, and drew her into a hug. "Don't worry Max..." he whispered as the child drifted into peaceful slumber. "I'll protect you."

And just as abruptly as it happened, Max was yanked back into consciousness. She lay gasping on her hands and knees, her body shaking with the immense effort of drawing her back out again. All day she had been drawn into her childhood memories, and each time it was becoming more and more difficult for herself to draw back out again. Something was trying to drowned me inside myself, she thought. This has never happened before!

And then once more she screamed as she was immersed into another nearly-forgotten memory.

curiosity killed the cat or in this case III

people are starting to become curios Brayx is just an annoyance and i have to be cautious of III

why harmony takes into full effect i could save III but i've done research.

the more i look into this the more variables i run into.

who knows i might have to reveal my true powers. if that happens were all screwed.

my ultimate goal is to help nexan destroy KH but with III in the way i can euther kill her, posses her, or the other option "which i hope i do not need to use" is get that girl ravens help. i might need to absorb KH. i need nageext's help she can help with the potions i need to create

In which an almost truce is formed

I was in the library. As always. It was finally clean. And now Brax decides to come back. It was not a good day. VIII was up to something weird with his drug. Not exactly sure what it did, but it wasn't going to end well. By either Brax's hand or Max's hand.
I smiled thinking about how she was finally getting out of the castle. Or I was, until I smelled smoke.
That only meant one person. Who I was not to happy with at the moment
"Seycax, where the Hell are you?"
"Up here, on the ladder. Geez you can wait a minute like a normal person." I said as I was crawling down the ladder.
"No, I actually can't."
"Yeah, you can, seeing as I'm finishing putting away the books YOU knocked over."
"Well this is more important. It's about Max." Now I was all ears.
"What?"
"Something weirds going on. Give me the diary."
"Hell No. You come in here and think you can just get what you want but you can't. I'm NOT giving it to you. But you can have a copy." I said sweetly.
"Look I know you don't like me. But-"
"No I don't, actually I'm pretty pissed at you."
"And you have every right to be. But this is for Max. She's like a sister to you. I can see it. VIII's done something to her and I want to know what. Will you help?" He looked at me, kind of desperately, too.
"Look, personally, I haven't seen enough to judge VIII. The best I can do I wait and observe."
"That's all I'll ask then, besides for one of those copies." I handed him one, and with that he was out the door.

To Nexan

I apologize for anything in your office that isn't in its original position. I spent the day looking through files and junk like that. Ummm ya i didn't take anything but i read through the archives and noticed you need help filing i'd be happy yo help

Lexamitch

Extract From the Diary of Nexan, v

Number VIII. Yes, we have an eighth member. His name is Lexamitch, and he controls time. Braxyd seems to have taken an instant disliking to him, though that could have been due to VIII temporarily using IV's bed. We have yet to secure him a room in the castle. Braxyd is such a brash person. I do wish his actions weren't so harsh, but thinking ahead is not one of IV's talents. No one was expecting Braxyd back so soon. It was rather nice while he was away, it gave VIII a chance to adjust to this new life. VIII is our strongest at magic, which will be extremely useful.

Unfortunately, I sense Maxsodin is once again being swayed by the Darkness. I do hate medicating her, but it is the only way she can stay somewhat sane. It tears my non-existent heart apart watching her suffer through the side effects off ILL. I can only hope we get Kingdom Hearts defeated soon. I will be working will all of the members soon to asses their talents, as well as mine. If everyone is deemed strong enough, we go into battle. We can't afford any casualties.

If everything goes as planned, we will have to administer one last dose of ILL and then go into battle against an enemy that does not fight back physically. As long as our minds hold up, our bodies will. I know each of us will fight our separate battles in the war for our hearts, but ultimately we will get everything back that II, III, IV and myself never knew.

With many heavy thoughts I leave you,

I

apologies

i was sleeping dreaming about... well never mind but of of no where

I WAS COUGHT ON FUCKING FIRE

now i was in his room complete justified his actions. i started to think of a way i could make it up to him.

but first i needed a new room i refuse to back there.

i opened my tiny lexicon and placed a small room by the garden.

then i needed to talk to superior

KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK. i was bashing the door.

"WHAT IS IT?" at that point i relized that my mission would get no where without help.

i kicked in the door

"WHAT TH-" she began to shout, i blasted her with an extremely powerful blast to freeze her.

i started to look through droors then i finaly found my lexicon.

i then fixed the door and erased that little mishap from superiors's memory.

she said "what is it?"

"um superior can we go on a field trip? i really doubt anyones been doing anything fun for a while and i know just the place."

"Abosoluty not VIII."

i froze her again used my other power and she agreed.

"What about Max?"

"we have people to watch her. where do you propose we go?"

"well i thought that the mall would be good, girls like perfume and clothes and Brayx isn't far from a girl. but i need seycax to stay here."

***********************************************************************

While the others were at the mall i told Seycax about The drug i implanted into Max.

it's called harmony. the only reason i'm alive is because of it. when i implanted Max with it, it was dead but with the help of the lexicon and alchemy it would turn on and i would be able to control her.

Seycax had no clue what i was talking about but she seemed to understand.

i went into Max's hallway used the darkness spell which gives me the ability to withstand darkness for a short while i jumped into Max's room froze here grabbed Mansex's diary and got out.

My plan was coming along. i started a fire in the main hall and was about to burn his diary but i had plans for it still in fact i needed to do the exact opposite i needed to preserve it. i redid time up until after my little chat with Seycax and made dinner and cleaned up a bit. in my new room i drew an alchemy circle and the one thing i need for harmony to work.

i threw some pages of mansex's diary into it and as i did that i heared a screem it had began to work.

"Hey max." said braxyd pulling her into a hug.
"Um... hey Braxyd." she said trying to weasle her way out of his loving hug. "Wh-what do you want?"
"Just to talk. about that kiss. and about this." said braxyd opening up his coat to expose a long deep scar on his chest. "What goes on in this dark realm of yours. And how can we use it to bring you back you normality."
"I... I dont know. I have tried to sevcer my connection with it and xemnas, and the other org. But i just cant it is too hard to cut it out..." she continued to ramble on and on until braxyd shut her up, in the way she shut him up.
"Ugh that is revolting. you taste like ash." neither of them could hold back the laughs after that comment. "but sriously dont you dare kiss me unless i tell you too. now back on topic ok."
"ok. so i can get into this place of yours, where your darkside controlls you. so now we can get it out of you and help you get back to being you." he then smiled hopefully. but just as he gained a speck of happiness maxsodin started to go insane and have a melt down. "What... is happening... to meeeeeee!!!" screamed max as she was consumed be an unkown black magic.
"Lexamich, that satanic bastard is trying to control you. i will snap his fucking neck." said braxyd holding max close as she curled into a ball on the floor. "no one messes with you and gets away with it."

I don't know what desperate instinct drove me to enter my god-forsaken pit of a room, but I did.

I paced like a caged animal, because that's exactly how I felt. Caged. Trapped.

First thing I did was eat soap, trying vainly to rid my mouth of the ashy taste of Braxyd. I choked and blanched at the flavor, but I overpowered everything else.

Next, I paced and threw curses at the walls. I had the strangest feeling Braxyd had seen me with Xemnas. I don't know how such a preposterous idea had become so horrifyingly realistic, but it had. Didn't he say he and Mickey were trying to reach the same realm I was in? But no... no, they couldn't have! Only I could go there. At least, and get back out.

Slowly, my hands became coated in thick, black darkness. It was only normal, really. For me, at least. It would spread up my arm and slightly past my elbow, but never had it ever threatened to consume me. Not that it did now, either. I stared with strange calm at the spreading darkness on my arm.

Suddenly, I turned and blasted it against the wall. The entire room became coated and crawling with the substance. I was besides myself with an unfathomable glee. Surrounded by darkness, I was in my element; both figuratively and literally. It didn't take much for me to gain control over the oozing darkness. I condensed it onto the floor and, slowly, crouched down and placed my palm flat on the floor. The darkness snaked over to my hand and returned itself inside me. I shivered with the mass of power that flowed momentarily through me, then the darkness settled itself once again I felt normal, if not slightly drained.
I was a bit upset that my hands were still coated in the darkness. I scowled and searched the piles of junk in my room for my gloves. I found them. They were torn and ripped in many places. They looked like they had been mauled by a bear. But they kind of were. Saix was close to a bear, right?

I slipped them on and was satisfied the darkness covering my hands created the illusion of non-ripped gloves on normal hands. It was what I was aiming for. Drawing in a quick breath, I slipped out my door, attempting to get out of the castle and hide in some other world. That's when I was stopped in mid-stride by Braxyd grabbing my hood and holding me in place.

In which Molotov cocktails mix in a teapot

~Late late at night~
I walked up to the front door of the castle and found a small box addressed to Seycax. “Humph. I wonder what it is. Naw I shouldn’t. Huh WTF.” And with that I opened it. It was a brand new teapot. Pure white well for the first second he was holding it. Then it was stained with small drops of blood coming from the huge gash on his chest. “Shame. It was very beautiful.” He looked down at the huge cut, “I should probably go stitch this up.” He opened the door and quickly ran to the infirmary, not paying any heed to the oddly clean castle.
~ONE HOUR LATER~ “Ow. Fuck. Why the hell do I even try?” Braxyd was trying to stitch up the gash on his chest. “Need some help?” said a familiar voice, the one that he truly trusted in the organization. “Xahnan. Oh thank god you’re here. Can you finish, I got…” “Yeah four stitches, I can see Brax.” She said playing, while taking the needle from his hands.
“Hey how’d you know I was in here? I didn’t tell anyone I was coming back.” Said Braxyd wincing from the burning pain in his pectoral muscle.
“Haven’t you noticed how clean it is here? We can actually use the motions sensors now that crap isn’t in their way.” She said with a smile. “I bet you are wondering how I got so clean with max being out and all.”
“Yeah I kinda was. Usually she makes everything into an effin pig styyyy…” said Braxyd trailing off in pain as Xahnan poked a nerve in his chest. “That really hurt number five. Please don’t puncture my nerves.” Said Braxyd oddly calm and not chewing off her head for hurting him.
“Well we got a new member. He is guy, so you should be happy to hear about that. He cooks he cleans, and he even brings out the nice side in maxy. He is really sweet, and everyone but number two likes him, and that’s only because he cooked with seafood. But really he is nice.” She blushed a little at the next statement, “I think maxy likes him. I’m not sure but she really acts like it around him.”
With that Braxyd took the needle back from her, with bottled up rage, “I can get it from here. Where is the little Bogart sleeping?”
V sensed that Brax was going to do something bad and said, “Im just the messenger, it was all Seycax’s idea trust me…” “I wont hurt you just tell me where he is sleeping,” he said eyeing Seycax’s new teapot and the bottle of medical alcohol that was very flammable.
“You won’t hurt me?” said number five
“Naw just tell me and you can go back to bed.
“VI put him in your room, and is having him sleep in your bed.” Said Xahnan cringing and getting ready for a right hook in the face, but was surprised that he only gave her a friendly hug and a “good job”.
He put in the last stitch grabbed the teapot and alcohol and headed for his room.
*************************************************************************************
“Hey dip shit get out of my bed!” screamed Braxyd as he tossed the make shift Molotov cocktail onto his fire proofed bed.
“AHHHHHH,” screamed Lexamich as the hot napalm burned on the fire proofed sheets on top of him. Braxyd just laughed at the boy’s screams. “Ha-ha. This is my room. Do you really think that I would make every thing fire proof?” Braxyd willed the fire to die down and eventually go out.
The screams emitted by lex must have woken the whole castle, because in an instant the entire organization was in Braxyd’s room with weapons at the ready. What followed was a chorus of gasps and “why did you leave” and “oh god we missed you” and many painful hugs on the account of the fresh cut in his chest. The most awkward hug of all was the never ending hug from Maxsodin, she just wouldn’t let go. “Why are you hugging me? I just thought that you would want to hug this little sonofabitch.” Said Braxyd motioning to Lexamich.
“I just feel really bad about…” awkward pause, “about that cut of yours.” Now peppy and bright. “It must really hurt.”
“You should know you ca…” said Braxyd cut off by a strange yet not unwanted kiss.
“Ugh max that is disgusting, quit sucking Braxyd’s face and let him tell us all about his mission with Mickey.” Said Xahssa punching her in the arm to get her to cut it out.
“yeah I have to tell you all about how mickey and I drove our minds to the edge and dove into the ultimate realm of darkness to see the old org again, to get info about our past’s. it was really quite interesting. I have so much to tell you.” Glare at Maxsodin, “all of you”

The kitchen

"BLAM!"

I ran into the kitchen not knowing what happened...

"WHAT THE HELL I JUST BOUGHT THAT TOASTER!"

Max was standing there with a half blown up toaster in her hands.

"um sorry." not a convincing sorry but i had a plan.

"Max dont worry i'll fix it." i Started to slow time using more energy than necisarry then i started to rewind it. i saw Max trying to put toast in the wrong way but before she did i fixed the breads angular position. then i started time again.

"Beep, Beep, beep"

"thats was the first time i've ever made toast right!" i didn't know that was a big deal?

then she screamed dropped my fine china set that i had just boughten.

i didn't bother fix it i had used most of my energy fixing the toaster.

i started to put a list on the fridge with instructions

Please write any special requests for dinners

lexamitch

I tried to recall how I got here, in this void, empty, black world. All I could find from racking my brain is that I was reading Xemnas' Diary when I fell asleep. That can't be good.

Suddenly, there was a scene in front of me, like it was being shown on an infinitely large screen. After staring at the monochrome scene for a moment, I realized what I was looking at. Braxyd and Mickey.

"Do you wish to kill them?" I didn't need to turn to know it was Xemnas speaking from next to me.

I nodded silently.

"You could right now." He looked down at me just as I looked up at him. He almost smiled at the awe in my eyes.

"Simply reach out, and say 'They shall die', and it will be. You are in the realm of the dead Nobodies, after all."

I hesitated a second, unsure of myself. Then, slowly, I reached a trembling arm out. I hadn't felt so much control in forever!

I opened my mouth to say the words, the words that would rid me of my two greatest annoyances, but I couldn't speak. I couldn't kill them.

After a minute, I put my hand down. Xemnas sighed; not a angry or even a frustrated sigh, simply one of acceptance.

"Max," he said. I looked at him, cringing. He didn't look back. "Do you have unlimited power, Max?"

I turned abruptly from him, staring at what would be my feat, if there was anything but blackness. "No..." I said, feeling shamed to admit it, as if I was letting him down. Which, I felt, I was.

"Do you know why you don't have unlimited power?"

I waited for the answer.

"It's because you don't try to control Kingdom Hearts. It's because you fear what the rest of your Organization will think of you or do to you if you try."

I was silent.

His tone became more severe, more angry; empowered. "But if you would only try, Max! You would control Kingdom Hearts! You would have unlimited power! And then you could tear the curtain between this world and yours and withdraw my Organization and I back from the grave!"

I was trembling at the very booming sound of his ever-raising voice. He seemed to notice, and put an arm around my shaking shoulders.

His voice softened. "Max, when you bring us back, we will protect you. None of your Organization will be able to judge you or harm you with us around."

I stared at the black and white scene of Braxyd and Mickey, still playing. I drew hate from it, and from hate determination.

"I will, Xemnas."

"Good."

Everything receded, and I expected to be draw to full conscious, but my body wasn't finished sleeping yet. I began to dream.

It was a strange scene I watched. I saw myself, head down, next to Xemnas. He was surrounded by many Organization XIII members. Some sense deep inside me knew that what I was viewing was of Xemnas and them in the real world; no longer dead.

I listened intently.

Axel and Xigbar walked up, dragging another cloaked figure. They through them on the ground in front of Xemnas, and the clocked figure knelt. I sensed they were exhausted, though from what I didn't know.

"Superior," Xigbar reported, while Axel kicked at the cloaked figure, making them fall silent. "Members V, VI, and II are still being torchered for information, but this one is stubborn. We've tried everything, but they won't tell us anything!"

Dream-Max kept her head down, avoiding the cloaked figures face, as Xemnas took a step towards them.

"Is it true? Will you not tell us anything?" Xemnas used a tone of mock injury.

"Never!" the clocked figure gritted. My eyes flew wide. I knew that voice! I just couldn't place it at the moment...

"Fine then!" Xemnas said, straighting up. "Max." He signaled Dream-Max.

She hesitated, then stepped forward, finally daring to glance at the figure.

"Max... please..." the figure pleaded.

"Silence!" Axel growled and kicked the figure again.

Then the unspeakable happened. Dream-Max bent down, grabbed the figure's head, and with an agonized scream, the figure began to fade, their being shredding into pieces and being whisked away by and invisible wind.

The scream brought be into cold wakefulness. I sat bolt upright, clutching myself for comfort. The clock read 3: 47, blinking lazily. I became aware I was holding my breath, and let it out in a horrified gasp.

As much as I tried, the meeting with Xemnas and the dream stuck in my head. And all through the night I kept hearing that scream, kept trying to place that voice.

Yet I didn't dare to try and remember what my dream-self had done. What I had done.

i was in my room eating toast when i relized i have a lexion in my back pack. granted its small but it has what i need.

i went to the spell section and used the map spell. it showed a map of the castle and the people in it. I began to listen in on conversations through it.

"Raven has the same powers as Lex,

mabeys shes from the same world."

who was raven and what do they mean?!

I HATE THIS CONFUSION

i have a plan though, when i regain strength i will destroy KH by my self. well after III's plan falls into place. reserectiong Xemnas good luck when she does i'll be waintg.

I'LL KILL THEM ALL!

I was sitting in the kitchen drinking tea. Xahssa was cooking in the kitchen, it was almost dinner.
"What's the matter with you Seycax?" The sound pulled me from my thoughts.
"Hm? What do you mean, I'm fine." That probably wasn't convincing enought to fool her.
"No, you're not. I can tell. You have spent nearly all day with me in the kitchen. You did dishes VOLINARILY. That one never happens. What's wrong?" Dang, it didn't work.
"Nothing's wrong. Im just..thinking."
"About what, youv'e almost been brooding all day." Leave it to her to be the one who actually reaches deeper into my thoughts than almost anyone else does. The only one who has in a while.
"Lexamitch. His powers. Max. What she did. Raven." They words just fell out of my mouth. I couldn't control them, which was kind of scary for me.
"That's whats on everybodies minds I think. But, Raven? What's she got to do with all this?"
"Thinking back, when the heartless first invaded, Raven and her sister Tifa had just moved to Radient Garden. Because of something that went bad in their own world."
"So? What's that got to do with Lexamitch?"
"Raven had the power of time, just like him. We don't know what world he's from yet. What if it's the same world? Does that show a connection to races of people and their powers?"
"You've really thought about this haven't you?"
"I've been thinking about it all day. Of course I have."
"That's an..interesting theory. Have you told Nexan?" I shook my head. I hadn't gotten around to it.
"Hey, can I have my key back? I want to research in the library and maybe flip through Mansex's diary again." She pulled a key out of her pocket. Only, It wasn't my key. At least, not the one to the library. It was the one to Max's rum cabinet.
"That's not the key I gave you. Where's the other one?" That couldn't be good. I had left the diary in my desk I hadn't put it locked up. I figured Max could only get in the library if she had help.
"Is something wrong VI?" Xahssa was looking at me strangely.
"N-n-no, nothings wrong, just need to get back, sorry I thought it was the wrong key but it isn't. I'll see you later." I grabbed the key and made a mad dash for the library.
Upon reaching there, I found the diary was gone.
Damn, that's not good. Nexan will ki-
"Hello Seycax. Nexan told me to talk to you." Just what I needed rigtht now.

I went to a Itallien marketplace. Thats when the heartless appered. they came in thousands. i fought them off as best i could but without my full powers i was done for.

what did they do to me?

"AAHHHH" my insides were burning i wasn't even pushing my limits.

i sent one wave to obliterate them but they kept coming. i didn't know what to do. i grabbed my bag and booked it. i set up the new toaster oven. prepared dinner"WITHOUT POWERS" and went to supperiors office.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"who is it?"

"it's me Lex. i have some questions."

"go on then."

"what the hell happened to my powers."

"Max did she thought it would help."

she noticed i was torn and blody "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"heartless came in thousands there was nothing i could do. then in the middle i felt a dark surge then i collapsed and barley made it out."

"This isn't good i recomend seeing saycax she can help the darkness, but there is nothing i cand do about your powers"

I have a plan i need some help the only thing that can help is my potient lsx, i need nageext.

Letter to Nexan, from Maxsodin

Superior:

I have taken the liberty to limit VIII's power. As you know, he has been acting reckless with manipulating time, and the last thing we need is for him to mess up the space-time continuum. He now cannot use the full extent of his powers, nor can he do so for long durations of time. I feel this is for the best. And I assure you it was not an act of jealousy. Maybe one day you'll understand.

Sincerely,

Maxsodin

EXSTRACT FROM DIARY OF LEXAMICH

i remember the times in the castle using the hidden tunnels to hide. but my mother didn't like me hiding but without her how whould i be able to control minds. dearest mother JENOVA.

theres still one more thing i have to do, find nageext. well off to italy.

Extract from the Diary of Maxsodin

Dear Diary,

Got what I needed soo badly! Xemnas' Diary!!!

My conscious feels perfectly in tact. I feels good to be able to have my secrets in my own hands again. Not that having something of Xemnas' make me feel secure at all... quite the opposite, in fact. I fear what sleep will bring now that the diary is back in my possession...

A secret message

I was bleeding. but i regained consiousness. i just shrugged it off. i decided to pad the floor of the training room I MEAN THAT REALLY HURT! i headed out of the training room and there was seycax and Xashasa having a conversation.

"He didn't...."

"I know he... Max..."

after that i stopped listining did i hurt Max? my head hurt i couldn't think straight.

i thought for a minute and she did do some damage the least i could do was help. i'm going to read the lexicon, wait where is it??!!

And then theres jerry floating towards me. i had a letter to deliver.

"Dear Max,

i need your help supirior has somthing of mine and i kinda need it back,

Lex"

"jerry i need you to deliver this to max. when you come back i'll show you where they put they put penutbutter."

"RAWR" i assume that ment yes.

"Oops..." I shrugged, letting my Keyblade disappear as I stared at the pone figure of Lexamitch. I winced as I rolled my arm experimentally. We should probably pad the ground when practicing with VIII.

"Max, what did you do!?" Nexan growled as she examined VIII.

"Nothing!" I cried indignantly, throwing my hands up. That made me wince again.

She sighed, then stood. "That's just lovely..." she muttered and stalked out of the training room.

I watched her leave, then looked at my hands. What did I do? My hands were smothered in darkness from using my power. I shook them halfheartedly to dislodge the substance, but I knew it wouldn't work. The darkness would disappear eventually, as soon as it learned it wasn't going to be used again any time soon.

No, I didn't do anything. It was Nexan's fault for letting the newbie use the Lexicon. Lexicon.... it made me feel conscious of Xemnas's diary sitting in VI's desk. It was torchering to know my secrets protection was not within my power.

I gave VIII one last look before I made up my mind. Too many things were out of my control already. I needed to control everything I could. Turning on my heel, I set a fast pace to the library. If my intuition was right, Seycax would still be gawking at the kitchen.

I could be in and out in a matter of seconds, and she would never know what was missing.

i mustve been so excited that my foece field died off and my gasp woke up a girl sitting on the desk. well not exactly it more of stirred her sleep. i bolted out of there. when morning came every one was up but i didn't see Max anywhere. there were 2 in the kitchen, they were astonished to see it so clean.

"IT'S SO CLEAN" seycax basicaly screemed.

xasha not as enthusiastic was still suprised.

superior grabbed my arm and pulled me into a giant white room.

"i heared you snooping around the library last night. can you explain this."

"well i saw a light on in the library and i had to check it out."

she raised her brow "what did you find?"

i didn't want to tell i thought it my jeporidize my existance but she's been nothing but nice. "i found my lexicon"

"What do you mean YOUR lexicon." she seemed astonished

"my father owned it, well when he was alive. he use to read to me in that library."

"so thats how your so powerful." it was more of a mumble than a sentence.

"what did you say." i was confused

"nothing lets start your training"

thats what i've been waiting for!

i arrived in a traing room and max was sitting in the middle.

"Hiya lexamich!" she chimed

"Max focus and lexamich focus on a wepon, any wepon you want."

"um okay now what?"

"use this." superior pulled out the lexicon and max gasped

i literaly opend a book and a staff came out.

"Um cool?"

a buzzer sounded Max grabbed a keyblade and posisioned herself.

"wait a keyblade thats impossible!"

3. 2. 1 BEEEPP

as soon as that buzzer went off i was hit with a blast but it made me cringe it was pure darkness and i've felt it before. i blanked out but i was still consious of my actions.

i slashed my staff and she flew into the air in slow motion i teleported next to her and blasted her down. i felt so much power but then i coughed. but i coughfed up blood then i blacked out. with my last consious breath i said "sorry... Max" and hit the ground

don't give III alcohol

i might controll time but that doesn't mean i don't get tiered. i cooked got III drunk and passed out. sadly i don't sleep ever. when i wasn't dead i had emsonia and now i don't sleep i wait. i wait for the one time i'll feel happy again. when i was passed out i was in a giant library with my father. I found a garder that night it was beautiful so i sat there and listened for birds.

"ARRGGHH screw this i need to get out!" i raised my hand and a portal appered. i stepped in and arrived in what seemed like london.

first thing first i need silence i stopped time and made a list

1.) veggie burgers

2.) sewing machine and materials

3.) cat foot for jerry

4.) roses for the castle

i don't steal i use my powers to "borrow" things. when i returned they were all in the kitchen with a drunk III in the kitchen dancing around and singing.

5.) don't give 3 rum.

then some other members came in. It was hilarious but there were some... complications. i'm not allowed to use the seafood.

i went to my room fed jerry and got to work. I hated those leather jackets. i made myself a hoodie. it's sad that id didn't even need to use my powers to log onto this sever. the password was fluffybunnies. thats one question for superior.

around 1a.m. i started to clean and decorate dad and i hated messy. but somthing caught my eye. there was a light on in the library. i still wasn't ready so i went in and froze time around me which is like and invisibility cloak. there was a shining brick i pulled it out and there was a book! Wait thats not any book thats the lexicon My fater's book!

VI meets VIII

"What are you doing?" Xahssa was hunched up against the kitchen door, peeking through to keyhole. I could hear Max's laugh and a male voice from inside. Must be the new member I thought to myself. Xahssa turned around, a murderous look in her eyes.
"Can't you keep your voice down? After all, you control sound Seycax." Someone was touchy today.
"What's got your goat? I thought you'd be happy. There's a new member."
"He cooked. In. My. Kitchen. And he used seafood." I had to force myself not to giggle. Of course that was what she was mad about. With water as her element, we were only aloud to use fish when she was away on a mission.
"He didn't know, its not his fault. He's new, give him a break. Nexand won't like it if you flip off on him so early. If you don't yell at him this whole week, I'll buy you your new toaster. How's that?" She seemed to think it over. Nexan said no new toaster, but she didn't want Lexamich not to trust us either. Xahssa was just funny about new members. I remember the first time I met her. She was pretty harsh for about 6 months.
"Fine. Just make sure he cleans up. By the way. Weren't you supposed to be watching her?" she said pointing with her head to the kitchen.
"Yeah. I was still straightening up the library and she got board. She wouldn't stop begging me for rum so I sent her down here to wait. I figured she could annoy you." She gave me a ha-ha, I would have killed you if it would have happened look. "I'm going to go introduce myself, you keep enjoying yourself out here. Or I left the library unlocked, you said you wanted to look for a new book."
'Thanks, that might help me calm down."
"Help yourself to Max's rum, she doesn't know how much I keep at a time." I said tossing her the keys to the cabinet.
And with that I pushed into the kitchen to find myself pulled into a hug by a singing girl, one who smelled like alcohol.
"Max, what have you been drinking?"
"Nnnoothhin'" She said with slurred speech. Looking at the table I discovered the new member and... Brax's vodka. Of course.
Looking past her I said,"Hi, I'm Seycax, VI, power over Sound. I run the library, gardens and watch Max.You must be Lexamich. Welcome. Oh, and by the way, don't give her alcohol. She can only have so much a day."
"Thanks for the tip. Would have been nice earlier." He said, eyes wandering to Max who was still clinging to me singing My heart bleed for you. One look and silence.
"Did you make this?" I asked grabbing a plate from the cabinet and putting some of the Alfredo on my plate.
"Yeah but I'm not much of a cook."
"I'm sure it tastes fine. I haven't had something like this in a long time." It tasted phenomenal. I hadn't tasted it since I was in Radiant Garden.
"Its great." Max had come to realize that she wasn't making sounds and was pouting. "Can you be nice and not sing?"
"....." She shook her head.
"Okay then." With a snap of my fingers she had her voice back. Lexamich seemed amused.
"Why are you always soo mean???"
"Maybe if you stopped acting like a child I wouldn't do that."
".......This is really good." Now that she was done pouting, she was stuffing her face.
Lexamich, Max and I all looked at each other and laughed. Maybe we were really turning around. I hoped, we had so much sadness and seriousness and ready to kill each other *coughMAXBRAXcough*, that we all needed a much needed rest.

Another.

"So, we have a new member." Xahssa looks at Nexan and raises her eyebrow. Nexan looks up from her tea and nods sleepily. "Max seems to have taken a liking to him. Something about pasta." Nexan yawns and takes a giant sip of tea. "Is this even caffeinated?" She mutters to herself then checks the tin sitting in front of her. "Well, he better not be influenced by Brax when he gets back. He controls time, you know." "I'm well aware of that... Wait. When is Braxyd getting back? I thought not for weeks? Sit down already II, you're making me nervous." Nexan motions lazily to the chair next to her. Xahssa sits, then reaffirms Nexans belief. "That's what he said. I hope he cools down while he's away. He has been rather violent lately. Probably too much stress." "Probably." Another sip of tea. "Why do we always gain members under such unfortunate circumstances? Seycax watched her friend get killed. Daxjorn joined in the mist of our battle with Sora and Max's big Freak Out. Xahnan's transformation was so horrific that she stays holed up in her lab all day. And now Lexamich. Braxyd's gone, hopefully to return without drama, and we have King Mickey on our hands. It's not the worst possible, but I hate dealing with Mickey. But you knew that, now didn't you?" Nexan sighed, draining her tea. "Xahssa, could brief VIII on how things are run around here? I'm going to take a nap and then file some missions. "

the new guy in town

I was floating on water, then I started to fall. Falling faster and faster until, CRASH, I bolted upright. Was I sleeping? The room was white and bright, and all I saw was a desk, my back pack opened, and a dresser. I tried to get out of bed until I cringed with pain. This isn't the first time it's happened however. I focused, hard; harder than necessary, speeding time up to heal my wounds.

"Good as new I hope." considering I had no clue where I was, I tried to be cautious. I took three steps forward and the door opened. Truthfully, I didn't know what to expect, but I think it's the same girl who I met earlier.

"Up already? That was fast." she said.

"Yes it was, but who are you and where am I?"

She started to laugh "I’m your Superior; your temper sure has gone down. You are now part of Organization 4. Welcome Lexamich."

Which was soon followed up by the best WTF face I could make. But I learned to just go with it.

Then I saw him. "Jerry, what are you doing? Is that… peanut butter?"

Superior turned "We have a strict no pet policy."

Jerry gave his RAWR face and grabbed her leg.

"That is ... ADORABLE! He still isn't staying. But it is mandatory that I give you a tour." I followed her out of the room and we headed into a kitchen.

"This is the kitchen." she announced with a dull hand wave.

“Over to you right is the library, and to your left is the lab." But there was a staircase to the left that I was curious about.

"What's that staircase for?"

She pointed to my left and said "That takes you to the meeting room. The other leads to my office. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU BE PERMITTED IN THERE!"

"Yes Ma'am. But what are the jobs right now? Like, what can I do?"

"You can start by running errands." she said, then a portal popped up and she gestured me to go.

I had a list and some money.

I arrived back to the castle almost immediately by using my powers. I headed to the kitchen and it blinked 6:00.

"SUPERIOR, HELLO ANYONE HOME?"

Well obviously not, considering I got no answer. So I started to cook. I cook when I’m confused.

I made a sea food alfredo linguini pasta from scratch and it took me about 30 seconds. I love powers!

I heard a crash and a girl scream, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

Then she saw the food hugged me and ate almost half of it.

What the fuck did I get my self into?

I yawned, and rubbed my eyes, dull with exhaustion. Nexan was still pacing angrily. I couldn't tell what was bugging her, nor did I have the sense to ask. But perhaps it was sense that kept me from asking.

She was muttering to herself, articulating her words with tension and frustration.

A question suddenly popped into my mind, but I took a minute for me to acknowledge it.

"Wait... why am I here?" I looked quizzically at Nexan. No one else was here but me and her.

She glared at me, and then motioned dismissively, pacing again. "Because, III! If something goes wrong, I need our strongest member to end it all."

"Oh..." I sat up a bit straighter in the chair I was sitting backwards in, though I still rested my chin on the back (which was in front of me).

Nexan ignored me and gave a frustrated sigh. "What's TAKING so long!?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but realized it was rhetorical.

The door opened. I raised my head in anticipation, and Nexan turned and stared tensely.

Xahnan walked out, mopping her brow. She smiled brightly at me, and I returned the smile. Then she turned to Nexan with a straight face.

"He's fine." she sighed. "Just unconscious." She smiled a bit sheepishly. "You've got a good punch, Superior."

"Who's fine?" I asked, my curiosity piqued by the conversation.

Xahnan turned to be and was about to answer when Superior cut her off. "No one, Max. You can go back to bed now."

Now I was stubbornly curious. "Who is it? Was a member hurt? Was it Mickey? Is he dead?"

Xahnan gave me a disappointing stare as excitement crept into my voice at "Was it Mickey? Is he dead?". The hope still glimmered in my eyes, though, as I looked from one to the other.

Superior sighed, though a smile twitched at the corners of her mouth. "No Max, no one was hurt and Mickey, as far as we know, isn't dead."

"Go to bed Max, you still have weeks of sleep to catch up on."

I "hmph"ed rebelliously before stalking out of the room. Sleep indeed! If only they knew what kind of thoughts and ideas sleep produced in my head. Maybe then they'd think twice about telling me to sleep!

I spent the rest of the night lying in bed, unable to rest while thoughts whirled in my head. I hoped I would learned what that night's events were all about; and soon!

It was dark, so cold I was dying and I knew I’d reached my limit. I use to be a Somebody, but that only lasted 6 years. I was always running from those things. I couldn't hide. THEY CAME FROM SHADOWS. Only one day I had to stop. I couldn't go on forever. I was surrounded by dusks. There was nothing I could do. I’m still running. I just can't face the facts. I was gone and nobody cared. I had no family, and I had no friend; it was always just me. But now I can fight using the fabric of time. If something went wrong, I would manipulate it, the ultimate rewind.

But that one day, the day when I barely had the strength to move, I was surrounded. I used the largest forcefield I’ve ever used, and then it went dark. I started to freeze. Was I moving? Impossible! I didn't even use my power, yet was this it? Was I finally done running? I only felt that sensation for minutes, but the entire time I was there, I wished it was over. Then out of the darkness spawned a white castle, larger than I had ever seen, and a hooded figure.

"Welcome to Oblivion."

I freaked out. "Who the hell do you think I am?!"

"Calm down VIII, you will not be harmed."

It was a woman’s voice. I didn't know what to think. They saved me but, I don't know where I am.

"Where the fuck am I anyway?"

The cloaked figure took off her hood and replied with, "Welcome to Castle Oblivion."

I was confused. Why am I here? What did they want? But then I felt a pulse. My strength was returning.

"Wait, what are you doing!? Just stay calm VIII, we don't need this now!"

I replied “F**k off!" and I blasted a shock wave stronger than ever. I just stopped time. I won't run anymore and I can't keep the field up forever. I had my back pack on which had my belongings in it, but there was one thing I needed to do. I broke off the field and she fell to the ground.

She was mumbling to herself. Then she hit me so hard that I blacked out.

I'll admit, I've seen some pretty strange things in my life. Max crying against the library doors however, was not one of them.
"Max, you alright?" She looked up. Her eyes were red. She must've been here a while.
"Does it look like I am?"
"Come on, lets go have some rum in the library. You can tell me what's brought you to the point of tears then." Upon opening the door however, what we saw was shocking.
Books scattered, cabinets opened and their contents strewn around the room, computer trashed on the floor (no complaint there), I vain popped out in my forehead.
"WHAT. THE. HELL?!?!?!" Max cringed, I suppose she was remembering the last time I screamed that loud. Then something hit me. Someone was looking for something, I knew exactly what it was.
Xemnas's diary. Nexan had given it to me to watch, told me to keep it safe, locked away somewhere. Seems like I was doing a pretty crappy job so far. Good thing I knew exactly who was in here.
Mickey, or Braxyd, one of them. They left today, and I had a feeling they had something to do with Max crying.
My hands unconsciously clenched in fists, I stomped over to my desk. It's drawers were opened, searched through, hopefully not completely. Reaching on my neck and grabbing the small key I keep there, I pull the necklace off.
Bending down and looking under the drawer, I see the bottom hadn't been disturbed. That was a good sign, the first today.
Unlocking it, I discovered the item of value, the diary.
"Don't worry, they didn't get what they were looking for. Still Pi***s me off that they thought they could get it. They should know, if they would have gotten it, well, lets say I had some nasty traps laid."
"Who are we talking about again?"
"Mickey and Brax. They obviously did this. Brax and you were the only ones who knew Nexan gave it to me. Why don't you go down to the kitchen and get us some sea salt ice cream while I get some of this cleaned up. Then we'll talk. Okay?"
"Sure," she stood there, "you sure it was them? Brax wouldn't leave without something he wanted this badly."
"He would if he knew you were out of the prison and wants to get us hearts. Things and people are changing Max. Fast." I turned my back to her and turned one of the chairs right side up. This would take a while. When I turned back around she was gone. Sighing I continued to clean up.
About 20 minutes later she returned, glasses and ice cream in hand. I had gotten a surprising amount of work done. All the books that were off the shelves were in a pile in the middle of the room, unfortunately, the computer was trashed (sorry? yeah right).
"Now you want to tell me what's wrong?" I asked her pouring us each a glass of rum and grabbing a bowl of ice cream as I sank into the comfy chairs cushion.
"Brax... said some things. They weren't the nicest, and they made my cry. Its my fault, me and him, haven't exactly been getting along since.. you know." I did. But now he was just taking matters to the extreme. And I was mad. He couldn't just, tell Max not to do anything, hurt her feelings then leave. That wasn't right. But, Max was already in the middle of enough things for me to tell her how I actually felt. That might push her over the edge.
"What he's doing may not be right, but he's doing what he thinks is best for everyone." I was going to need a lot more rum if I was going to survive this, judging by the look Max was giving me.
"Are you making excuses for him?"
"Yeah, a little bit." We looked at each other and the look on each other's faces made us burst out laughing. It was nice, something we hadn't done in a while. Laugh. It's funny how one without a heart can still do that isn't it? Maybe we aren't as heartless as we all think.

Dr. Dre- I Need a Doctor Lyrics feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey

“I’m gonna kill you Braxyd. I’m gonna stab you twenty three times. I'm gonna…” Maxsodin was cut off by a firm punch in the jaw

“I just staked my career… no my life on you. Nex and Xahssa said that you could come out but the others thought it best to kill you and be done with it. I pulled every string, called in every favor I had just so you could come out of that rat hole.” Braxyd pulled on his hair as if he was going crazy.

“DAMN YOU MAXSODIN YOU HAVENT EVEN SAID THANK YOU!!!!!!” screamed Braxyd belittling Maxsodin, “I gave everything I had to save your life in ways that you don’t understand right now. The least you could do is say thank you.” Said Braxyd now eerily calm. With that Braxyd turned on his heel and trotted away practicing his foot work as he did. Hop, hop, thrust.

I FOUND IT MY FAV SONG'S NAME!!!

Lyrics:

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be

Missing one inside of me
Deadly loss this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me

To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now, hes gone

No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now i cant think, think why i should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now i will just say goodbye
Goodbye
