Saix's refusal
"So, Xion, maybe you should spend the next missions with Roxas.", Axel suggested, "Till you recover, okay?" "Allright, if you guys want me to.", Xion added.She walked with Roxas to begin their next mission as Axel and Rixa watched them leave.Rixa felt her blood boil whenever she thought of the fight she would have against the man that defeated Xion.She could never control herself when a fight was close.She squealed with excitement as she and Axel approached Saix.Saix saw them come in and noticed Rixa shaking.He knew that she was most likely thinking of going after the man that defeated Xion, but he knew better.Xemnas and he had discussed it earlier.He remembered the conversation they had:
"An impostor?No such thing.The puppet probably just couldn't handle the mission.", Saix said,"Pathetic..."
"Even so, Saix, it's very interesting.", Xemnas said, "Someone masquerading as one of us...We should look into this."
"But Lord Xemnas, is it truly necessary?", Saix asked.
"It's only to discover if this impostor can be a danger to our plans.If not, let him be.", Xemnas said,"For now, let's just watch the events unfold."
"What should we do about Rixa?", Saix asked again,"Axel told me she wants to challenge this impostor."
Xemnas sighed and grinned at Saix.Thinking of Rixa's powers always made him smile, the sheer greatness of it.She could even be a match for him if she trained hard enough.Xemnas closed his eyes and exhaled slowly.
"Do not let her.It's not time yet.", he answered, shushing Saix before he could respond, "When the time comes, she can have as much fun with him as she pleases."
Saix nodded and left Xemnas alone.He could have sworn Rixa brought him some kind of joy, but he let that thought escape his mind.He returned to reality, seeing Rixa staring at his face, waiting for his answer.Saix almost felt sorry for her, if he had a heart to feel with.
"Your wish is not granted, Rixa.", he said, "You are to complete your regular duties and to put this impostor out of your mind.He probably doesn't even exist."
Rixa was furious at Saix's answer and punched the wall.She was beginning to hold a grudge against him for always being in her way.I'd destroy him if he wasn't so needed by Xemnas, she thought.Saix handed her a paper with instructions on it, sending her to investigate a world called Beast's castle.She angrily took it and opened the portal, stomping off in sheer anger.Axel hadn't done anything but watch the spectacle.He amused himself observing how others acted, especially Rixa.She always reacted to things differently than most and thinking about it would make him feel better.Such a little sister, he thought.Rixa arrived at the castle and threw the paper away.She didn't want to do what Saix had ordered and walked to the gate.Passing through it, she decided to sit on the ceiling of the castle and stare at the sky.Doing a complicated series of jumps, she was on the ceiling in no time.As she sat down, she growled when Saix came to her mind and tried to stop thinking about him.She shut her eyes and kept them close, when she noticed a strange aura.She stood up and felt it around her.This power...it feels dark yet not at the same time.Could this be...the impostor's aura?Xion wasn't lying, she thought.She smiled to herself, feeling somewhat calm in the aura.She had never felt like this before, a feeling of belonging.Even with her fellow members and her friends, she still felt out of place.But being here, in a place where the impostor had been, it gave her a sense of purpose.
"Whoever you are, I'll find you.", she whispered, her right hand raised to the sky, "And when I do...prepare to be destroyed."
