Maximum met up with Saïx, Roxas, Axel and no. XVI. "You're awake Phoenix." Saïx mumbled and she smiled.

"Finally!" Axel huffed and she punched him playfully. "Ow!"

"That did not hurt!" She rolled her eyes and he hugged. "Woah!" She fell to the ground. "A-Axel! I-I-I can't breathe!" She choked as her face went purple.

"You're finally awake." He exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm happy to see you too, but please, GET OFF ME BEFORE I DIE!" She yelled and Saïx pulled Axel off Max. She saw a gloved hand out of her and it was Roxas'. The red haired nobody smiled at this with pink cheeks and took his hand. Then, no. XVI came into the picture and Roxas looked up.

For the first time, she took her hood off. She had black short hair and blue eyes. The golden haired nobody gasped and let go of Phoenix's hand. The red haired girl fell back and hit her head onto the ground. She hissed with pain but when she opened her eyes, the pain spread to her heart. She watched as the new member of Organisation XIII was smiling at Roxas, but what made it worse was that he was smiling back. Max lowered her gaze sadly as she sighed.

Axel was the only one who noticed his sister's sadness. "Hey Roxas, shouldn't we be going with Max to guy fight some heartless?" Roxas was snapped out of daze and nodded.

"Usually you're not so excited to go for a mission…" Saïx mumbled and Axel elbowed him lightly. The blue haired nobody looked at Max and sighed. 'Oh, so it seems that Phoenix is a bit upset about Roxas and Xion.' He thought.

"Come on Maximum!" Axel exclaimed happily as he pulled his sister up. She stood up and smiled at her brother with a look saying, 'Thank you.'

"Who's Maximum?" A female's voice asked and the said nobody turned to no.16. Her face was emotionless like Saïx and Xemnas but her eyes cried hatred and jealousy. Axel held her back and smiled.

"This is Maximum, no. XIV. Sis, that's Xion, no. XVI. Well, we gotta go, bye Xion. Let's go Roxas." Axel pushed Roxas into a portal and dragged Max into the same portal.

"What's wrong with her?" Xion asked.

Saïx walked off whilst mumbling only one word, thankfully Xion didn't hear; "You."

They appeared in this world which felt so homely and nice. It was called Twilight Town; it had a never ending sunset. The atmosphere of the world was amazing in Max's point of view. "Come on let's get our hands dirty!" Axel smirked and she just stood there and twitched.

"Ummmmmmm…" The red haired nobody slurred and he looked at her.

"Oh yeah, since you were in a coma you don't know what you're doing right?" She shook her head. "Well basically this is called a mission and a mission is…uhhhhh…" She crossed her arms and waited for his answer.

"Max, he doesn't know what a mission is. All we have to do is fight some heartless." Roxas said and her mouth formed an 'O'.

"Follow me you two." Axel said and they ran after him. Max learnt how to find treasures and all that basic stuff.

"Okay Sis, I want you to fight the heartless on your own." Axel said and she nodded. Suddenly this little monster which was ink black in colour with antennae, claws and yellow bright beady eyes appeared in front of Maximum.

"Why aren't you a little cutie?" Max asked as she placed her hand onto the monster's head.

"Phoenix no, that's a Heartless!" Axel and Roxas shouted out and she looked up at them.

"Wha-" The Heartless gashed Max's stomach and she screamed with agony. She skidded to the ground and groaned with pain. Roxas was going to run in and beat the living hell out of that heartless for hurting his best friend. But Axel held him back and shook his head.

She placed her hand onto her stomach and growled. "You're going to pay!" She roared and stood up. She opened her arms and controlled all her power. Axel and Roxas were eagerly awaiting a Keyblade to appear in her hand. They felt this cold aura coming out of Max. But a Keyblade didn't appear in her hand, in a way it was better; the power of darkness.

Max dashed towards the heartless and swung her hand at it. Both her hands were covered with black clouds. Within a second the poor Heartless disappeared. Suddenly another appeared behind her and she attacked that one too. The next five minutes, she started fighting loads of Heartless non-stop.

The red haired nobody started to pant, there were too many for just her to handle. Roxas joined her and he had a Keyblade in his hand. The Keyblade's main colours were yellow, blue and silver, slightly familiar. He started to fight the heartless and whilst fighting she smiled at him. Then Axel joined them with his two chakrams, he controlled fire as he burned the Heartless alive. Light, darkness, fire those were the three elements which finished the numerous Heartless off.

"Well that went pretty well!" Axel exclaimed.

"Yeah, the three of us make a good team, huh?" Max asked.

"Yeah, you're right!" Roxas smiled.

"Come on let's get some ice-cream." Axel walked off and Maximum's eyes sparkled as she grinned. She grabbed Roxas' wrist and her and Roxas joined him.

"Hey, where are we going?" The red haired nobody asked curiously.

"Remember when we spoke about…things, the Clock Tower." Axel answered and she nodded.

"Oh yeah." She said with pink cheeks.

"You've been at the Clock Tower?" Roxas questioned and she nodded.

"Yup!"

They reached the Clock Tower and sat down on top of it. Axel gave Max and Roxas a blue ice cream on a stick.

"Here's a reward for working hard and finding you're power Max!" The pyro smiled and she took her ice cream. She took a little bite from it and they stared at her.

"It's salty…" She frowned but then smiled. "…But sweet! I love it!"

"Yeah, a bit like you!" Axel joked and she giggled at this.

"You're right. Sometimes I can be a bit too salty, especially with Larxene that is!" They laughed at this.

"But Max you're really sweet as well." She gulped and blushed at Roxas' little comment.

"I…I am?" She asked and he nodded.

"Only when you're around Roxas." Max elbowed Axel who groaned with pain. "You are just like sea-salt ice cream you know that!" He said and they all laughed at this. The laughter died down and Axel looked down sadly.

"I'm sure gonna miss all this." He mumbled quietly and Max turned to her right and Roxas looked at Axel.

"Huh, why?" Roxas asked.

"What's going on Axel?" Maximum frowned.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna be away."

"Oh." Roxas sighed.

"Where are you going?" Max asked curiously.

"Since Roxas you're my buddy and Max, you're my baby sister, I might as well tell you." They looked at him. "I'm gonna be at Castle Oblivion for a while." Max's green eyes widened and brimmed with tears.

"Well, no. XI and no. XII and 3 others who are suspicious will be sent to Castle Oblivion to be…dealt with."

Xemnas' words echoed in her mind and she gulped, 'No, Axel, he's not suspicious!' She thought.

"Sis?" She heard Axel say and snapped out of daze. She turned to him and he gasped.

"You're crying, why?" He asked.

"Maximum, you okay?" Roxas placed a hand on her shoulder and she turned to him.

"Can me and Axel talk…in private?" She whispered and he nodded. "You don't mind, do you?" He smiled and shook his head.

"Don't worry." He stood up and left into a portal.

Max turned to Axel and started to sob. "Sis, what's going on?" She looked up at him and sniffed. She started to tell Axel how she overheard Larxene and Marluxia, how she told Xemnas.

"So, Xemnas is going to send Larxene, Marluxia and others to Castle Oblivion to finish them off. Axel, I think you're gonna be finished off too, I don't want you to die! It's my entire fault." She started sobbing into the palm of her hands. Max felt Axel wrap his arms around her. He started to pat her back and her face was buried into his neck.

"Max, I'll come back to this Organization. I won't die on you. I promise." She pulled away and sniffed.

"Pinkie promise?" She pouted.

"Pinkie promise!" They linked pinkies and smiled at each other.
