Chapter 14: A Keyblade?
"Maximum..." Saïx said and the said nobody sighed. She was sitting on her bed, hugging her knees against her chest. Her face demonstrated no emotion, like a true nobody. "Maximum..." She clenched her gloved hands and didn't do anything. "Maximum, I'm sorry." She grinded her teeth together and she looked up at Saïx with a glare.
"Sorry won't bring Axel back Saïx, you told me he was going to be okay and that he wouldn't get hurt. And now he's..." Max looked back to her feet and felt her tears falling down her cheeks.
"Max, mistakes happen. But you can't stay here in this room like this." She looked up at him with a curious look. "You have a mission and you'll be working with Jonathan and Xion." Her eyes flashed with rage.
"Excuse me? Did I hear right?" She asked not believing whose name he said.
"Jonathan and Xion, you have a mission with Xion." She didn't mind Jonathan but... her!? She kept all her anger bottled up inside.
"I'm fine with him but why her?" Max said venomously.
"Maximum, whether you like it or not, she's still a part of the Organisation. It can't be that bad." Max growled at this and got out of her bed.
"It can't be that bad? I don't like her, in fact, I hate her! And do you know I'm not going to trust you anymore Saïx." She looked up at him and his emotionless face turned into shock. But her face stayed the same, nothing at all, no emotion; like a true nobody. "Yeah, you heard me right Saïx." She got up from the bed and stood next to Saïx, facing the door and not looking at his face.
"Why do I feel as if Axel wasn't supposed to go to Castle Oblivion?" She mumbled and the blue haired nobody gasped at this. "Saïx, did Xemnas really order Axel to go?" Phoenix asked.
"No," She didn't react to this. "I told him to go and destroy those who were suspicious from this Organization." She gripped onto her fists as they started to tremble.
"I never knew that you stoop so low Saïx." She walked up to the door and sighed as she covered her face. "I don't know if I could ever forgive you. I thought Axel and I were your friends Saïx. I hate you." Those last three words felt like someone stabbed him in the chest and she left.
She entered the lounge and saw the raven haired nobody. She was talking to Jonathan and smiling. Max's eyes lowered to the ground sadly. Axel would make her happy and Roxas wasn't around. 'Hm, he must be on a mission with Xigbar since he's not here either.' She thought and looked up at them, who were walking towards her. There was a frown on her face.
"No. XIV, I'm sorry for your loss." Max grinded her teeth together and she huffed.
"1) I don't need your sympathy no. XVI. 2) Sorry won't bring my brother back." She sighed at this and Saïx opened up a portal. They went through it and appeared in Twilight Town.

They started to walk around Twilight Town and found it a bit odd. "That's weird, there's not many Heartless."
Max growled at this. 'I bet Saïx did this by purpose.'
"Maximum, watch out!" Jonathan shouted and a Keyblade appeared in his hand as she swung it towards a Heartless. The red haired nobody got a better look of the Keyblade, it looked familiar with it's metallic green vines.
"Isn't that... a Keyblade?" Phoenix asked hastily.
"It's my weapon, I wield a Keyblade." She smiled at this until Xion spoke.
"I got one too!" She giggled and held up her keyblade. The redhead rolled her green eyes at this.
'Big deal!' Max thought and suddenly Xion and Jonathan was surrounded by Shadow Heartless. The two Nobodies started to fight the Heartless around them and suddenly Max heard a roar. She turned around and her green eyes widened.
This Heartless was an Invisible Heartless with sharp purple and black horns that formed the outline of a curved heart. It looked much stronger and a bit bigger than the Heartless Max battled on her first mission. It had a tail and wings which made it difficult, not to mention without a sword.
Max took a step back and thought, 'I don't have a weapon!' She gulped and in less than a second the Heartless swung its sword. She closed her eyes and defended herself with only her hands.
Shockingly, she didn't feel anything that happened. No. XIV opened her eyes and gasped. The darkness was there again and it saved her. It seemed that it stopped the sword from harming her. She looked back and saw another Invisible Heartless and Xion and Jonathan were fighting it. Max furrowed her eyebrows together and pushed the sword back with all her might until she was safe.
The red haired nobody placed her hand on top of her other and closed her eyes. She controlled all the power she had from within her body and mind. Her mind turned to Saïx and this made her very angry. This anger turned into darkness. Max shot an immense blast of darkness at the Invisible Heartless which killed it in a second and a heart floated up.
"Max, are you okay? That was really great!" Xion said as she and Jonathan ran up to Max's side. The said nobody looked at the ground with no smile or frown on her face.
"Yeah..." She turned to Xion and her face was much stricter. "Xion, RTC." The blue eyed nobody stared at her. "Return to the Castle, I'll be back later." Max said and walked off. Jonathan followed her.

She sat on top of the Clock Tower and licked her sea salt ice cream. "Thanks for following me, Jonathan."
"You can call me Jon if you want." she nodded and He swallowed the piece of melting ice cream, "No problem! So you say this was the place You, Axel, and Roxas hang out?" She smiled and nodded. but the smile didn't last long. He was about to take another when he saw a tear fall down her cheek. He didn't know what to say, "Maximum, is there anything I can do?" She shook her head.
"Not on this one, buddy... sorry..." Maximum stood up and felt that cool breeze blow and she closed her eyes. She sniffed and started to sob.
"Do you love me Axel?" He hugged her and kissed her cheek.
"Of course, I love my little sister."
The red haired nobody let everything go and breathed out. She leaned forward and her feet left the top of the Clock Tower. Jonathan gasped at this.
"NO!" He reached for her but it was too late. She was falling down and didn't open her eyes. If she died, then she died. There was no reason to continue living now that Axel was gone.
"Goodbye..." She whispered and expected the hard concrete ground.
"MAXIMUM!!" He dropped the rest of his ice cream and ran down the stairs of the train station, praying it wasn't too late.
There was a boy with silver hair, wearing a black Organisation XIII coat and a blindfold was around the corner. He looked like he had a strong build and was quite tall; it was Riku. He sensed a girl falling from the top of the Clock Tower and he gasped. Riku ran to the bottom of the Clock Tower and lifted his arms.
Max fell into his arms and she gasped. Riku kneeled to the ground but didn't let go of her. He didn't know why, but there was something about this girl that made him feel like he knew her. She opened her green eyes and looked up at her saviour's face. She didn't know him but she was very thankful for what he did.
"Are you okay?" He asked with a very charming yet deep voice. She blinked her eyes.
"Y-yes. Thank you for saving me." Max mumbled and he shook his head.
"Maximum!" Jonathan ran up to her and the silverette stood, walking away. "Did you save her?" He turned to him. Something about the boy's aura seemed familiar to him. The silverette shook it off.
"Watch your friend next time!" Jonathan gasped at his voice; Where has he heard it before? ... He never seen him before, that's werid. The strange figure walked off. Jon helped her up and she smiled.
"Thanks, Jon." He nodded at this.
"Let's RT... C..." He started to slur. Max looked at him. He held his head, sitting down. "I'm gonna... gonna... Sit..." He suddenly saw something.
"It's my good luck charm. Be sure to bring it back to me!" Kairi smiled at him and held Noel's hand. "Noel, after all this time, I finally remembered where I came from and who my old friends are: you and Mai. Don't ever forget I'm always with you."
Noel smiled and looked at the wayfinder. "I promise I will, Kai."
Mette smiled and a tear ran down her face and she looked to Sora. She giggled and rustled his hair.
Jon groaned and fell to the side.
"Jon!" She ran up to him and check his pulse, he was at least alive. She realized he might be in a coma. She put a arm over her shoulder and held him up by putting a arm around his waist. When she got through the Portal and she only saw Roxas and Saïx.
Roxas gasped, "Jonathan! Max! What happened?"
"I don't know, but I think he fell into a coma." She put him on the couch.
"He needs some rest then." Max grinded her teeth.
"I think we know, Saïx! Roxas can you help me to his room?" He nodded at this. He summoned a dark corridor and they carried Jonathan to his room.
