[Nods, then turns the feed to private.] With Vanitas in town, he's hiding. I don't blame him, either.
[Ponder, ponder, ponder.] Do you think they might be hiding together? With how much they look like each other, I can see Ven warning Roxas about the danger.
[private] let Terra tell you a story, kids~darkened_earthSeptember 13 2011, 05:54:05 UTC
[Ah--right. They'd asked about Roxas together; of course Xion would see this.] Trouble.
[... they should know, in case they encounter him.] ... He's the apprentice of a rogue Keyblade Master called Xehanort, created from the darkness that used to be in Ven's heart. He can control creatures called 'Unversed'; I won't be surprised if they start appearing in the city.
[That battle at the Graveyard--Xehanort's words. That bright, horrible Light--] If he gets ahold of Ven, he's going to try and forge something called a 'X-Blade'. I don't know exactly what it is, but when it was created, Kingdom Hearts showed up with it. This can't be allowed to happen here.
[still on Axel's]memoryshellSeptember 13 2011, 06:04:40 UTC
Xehanort? [Xion looks at Axel. Isn't...?
Xion frowns. A way to create Kingdom Hearts without gathering hearts? Why hadn't they heard of it? But, then...] Why? Why is Kingdom Hearts appearing a bad thing?
Xehanort? [He says it at almost the same time as Xion. He nods at her. Oh that's interesting. Xehanort is the name of the man who, upon the collapse of his heart, gave rise to both "Ansem", King of the Heartless, and Xemnas. ] A being made from pure darkness...
[the mention of Kingdom Hearts just further cements the link between this Xehanort and Xemnas] Kingdom Hearts?! That special keyblade summons Kingdom Hearts? [Axel narrows his eyes behind his mask, suddenly coming to a grim realization] ... I think we're much more connected than we thought.
... you know him? [Damn it! What did Xehanort do with his body?! ... task at hand; focus on that.] It does. I don't know how it does, but that's what when we fought him. Aqua stopped it somehow, but...
[Breaking off. ... answering Xion's question.] Xion. Kingdom Hearts... all of the history lessons I've had about it say it's very powerful. It's the Heart of all worlds. Imagine what could happen if that power fell into the wrong hands.
[private]hellofashowSeptember 13 2011, 06:20:52 UTC
... His Nobody is the leader of the Organization. He collected the human Nobodies in order to harvest hearts, and obtain Kingdom Hearts.
[He looks down, not looking at Xion, but addressing her] Xion. Remember when I said I was from your future, and you from my past? In my time, we know what Xemnas was really after. It wasn't to use Kingdom Hearts to get our hearts back. It was so he could have more power. That's all it ever was! He lied to us. He lied to everyone.
[... what. Someone took the floor out from under him. Feeling like he's going to regret asking this, but... he should know. He has to know.] ... what's a Nobody?
[Another pause, and... he really doesn't want to ask this, but he feels like he has to:] ... what did Xemnas look like?
[private]hellofashowSeptember 13 2011, 06:31:04 UTC
... A Nobody is the soul, and the body it dwells in, without a Heart. It's the being that results when a human's heart is overcome with darkness and becomes a Heartless.
[Axel casts his eyes down] White hair, golden eyes, medium-dark skin and a deep, commanding voice. Why?
[... horror. That's the only thing that can accurately describe what he's feeling] No heart? But that's-- how could--
[... Xehanort. What. Did. You. Do?! Lowering his head, and trying to fight the oncoming rage that seems to be blending all too easily with the horror he's feeling.] ... how young did he look? All of that fits, but... the Xehanort I fought was an old man.
[private]hellofashowSeptember 13 2011, 06:45:01 UTC
[Axel just looks as calm as ever, but inside, he's a writhing mass of questions... he has answers, now, but even more questions than before] You're talking to a man with no heart right now.
Hmmm... older than me, but not "old" by any means. Terra. Why are you asking stuff like that?
[private]hellofashowSeptember 13 2011, 18:53:00 UTC
What are you sorry for? It's better than being dead. Having been both, I know.
[Axel stares at the Portal, silent for a few moments. Then he narrows his eyes. He hadn't given much, if any thought to Terra's hairstyle until now. After all, what did something so trivial prove? But given the other information...]

But yeah. That's a good question. Who IS that Vanitas guy?

[Still not looking at the screen. This? Almost sounds like a quote.] Out with the old and brittle vessel, and in with a younger, stronger new one...
[Implications on that are big. Really big.]

He snagged your body. Didn't he.
