In an alley of the Black Market…a Corridor of Darkness opens, and out comes a figured covered in a black coat. On one of the alleyways, another cloaked figure stood there, lazily hanging by the wall. "Geez, took you a while." a male voice called the new arrival, waving rather gingerly at the other. "Sorry, I just...wanted to check on of a few things." a female voice replied, coming closer to the male figure. "I’ve been to see her. Our target." she said to him. "I’m worried. That girl...she almost curbed her darkness entirely in their duel."
"Well, 'almost' means there’s still a bit of darkness lingering inside her, right?" The boy replied, placing both of his hands behind his head. "So we can still do the thing, no problem." he tried to reassure the girl. "I know, but it’ll take longer now. Plus, there’s the matter of that girl...her light shines too bright. Who’s to say it isn’t going to drown the darkness we’ll plant in her?"
"No matter how bright the light is, not even it can eradicate all the darkness in a heart." Came another voice. Another person in the same cloak, one a bit shorter than the other two, approached them. "Though, if you’re that worried, you can always get rid of her." he offered. The girl seems to mull over on it a bit before articulating a reply. "...Not yet. I’ll wait – see what develops. If she turns out to be a big problem, I’ll take her out of the picture."
"Well, there’s that!" The taller boy said, letting his arms rest. "So when do we move?" he asks, sounding rather eager. Both of them chuckle a bit at that. "In a moment. We need to make sure she’s alone." the girl replies. "And we got to make sure no one comes to intervene." she continues. "Well, I could go around, make some distractions. Make sure there’s no knights in shining armor trying to rescue the damsel, just to make sure this goes as planned." the shorter boy said.
"Sounds good. I’m counting on you." the girl nodded. The shorter boy disappeared under a Corridor of Darkness, leaving the two other cloaked beings by themselves. "Alright then, let's begin!" the boy said, with the girl nodding.

Xion was walking towards her house without a care in the world...well, maybe with a slight bit of worry, actually. Since her duel with Kairi, she couldn't help but shake the feeling someone or...something was following her sometimes. She stops to look behind her...to see nothing. She sighs.
|
Her train of thought stops as she sees a familiar black coat peering at her at an alleyway, before darting off. She narrows her eyes slightly. The Organization...? Summoning her Keyblade, Xion gave chase to the cloaked figure. If this really was the Organization, then this would be terrible news...
The alleyway seemed to be a dead end, though if she knew a thing or two about her time as an Organization member was that they had Corridors of Darkness at the ready. Seeing as the cloaked figure didn't do that, she slid into her combat stance as she approached. They were probably looking for a fight...
|
"...Yes. Though, not from the same Organization you remember." the figure responded, the voice telling Xion she was talking to a girl. "There's no need to worry, though. Let's be friends, Xion..."
|
"I know this is a bit of a tall request..." Came another voice. Xion turns her head to see another figure in a black coat approaching her. She...she was ambushed! "...especially since you just met us, but we just need you to help us out with a little somethin', okay?" the boy asked, summoning a Keyblade in one of his hands.
Xion looked at the approaching figure, who suddenly dashed towards her and tried striking her. She put up her Keyblade and crossed swords with the man. She managed to fend him off, but as she turned to face the other figure, a ball of darkness was coming towards her, striking her in the arm. Xion yelled in pain as the spell hit, the power making her drop her Keyblade and sending her to the ground. She hissed a bit as the spell left a strange, dark purple miasma lingering on her arm - some of it even splashed to her dress and hand - and it kept hurting. She notices the two figures opening up their Corridor of Darkness...
|
Xion vainly reaches out to one of the figures, only for them to disappear. Far as she knew, she walked right into a trap. But...what did they want with her? Why her? What did the girl mean by 'let's be friends'? And...why were their voices so...familiar?
Using her Keyblade to help herself back up, Xion begins limping out of the alleyway, wondering about what she was going to do next...
“Now...the darkness in that heart of yours will amplify and spread. It'll take over your heart, and soon, you will be one of us, Xion." the shorter boy muttered to himself as he watched the puppet limp away from the alleyway she was in. He noticed the sound of a Corridor opening up. He turns around, and sees his two...friends appear.
"OK! So far so good!" the taller boy said, dismissing his Keyblade. "Now we just need to make sure she manifests her dark powers, then we can swoop in and lure her further away from the light." he said, bringing his arms behind his head again. The girl nods. "I'll keep a look on her progress...as well as the other girl with too much light." she says. "Sounds like a good deal to me." the shorter boy said with a shrug.
Suddenly, another Corridor of Darkness opens, and all three look at who shows up.
"...How interesting."
