Chapter 24: Non Existent or Not Existing?

Jonathan stared out his window, looking out the window with sad grey eyes and thinking about what the imposter said to him on his last mission.

"You are a threat to her." Riku knocked the keyblade out of his hand and knocked him off his feet. Jon landed on his back and Riku pointed his keyblade at him, "Why do you look like him?"

"Who are you talking about?" He got to his knees. The silverette didn't answer but he went to Jon's keyblade. He picked it up.

"Jonathan, you are a puppet." He held Mai's keyblade... Or at least it looked like hers. "This keyblade's the proof. Maximum is the Twilight Princess' Nobody and this is her keyblade. What do you think that means?"

What if Roxas and Maximum found out what he was? Would they not be friends with him anymore?

'Well, I have no reason to hang out here if I only hurt them... if I hurt her...' a tear fell down his cheek and he place a note on Roxas and Maximum's bed, leaving through a dark corridor.

"Has anyone seen Jonathan?" Maximum smiled while asked, completely unaware he was leaving.

"Last time I saw him, he leaving on a mission." Xigbar said.

She pouted. She was going to ask him if he wanted to eat some ice cream with her at the tower. She still considered him a friend despite what Riku said, frankly she didn't believe him.

"Maximum, Xion, and Roxas, you're mission is in Twilight Town today." Saïx stated and the two blue eyed nobodies nodded enthusiastically at this. But Maximum on the other hand didn't look so excited for the mission even though Roxas was with her. She stared hard at the ground and thought about the Keyblade she was supposed to get.

"Max." She heard Roxas' lovely voice and snapped out of daze. The red haired nobody looked up at him. "You okay?" She averted her eyes to the ground and nodded at this.

"We better get going." She mumbled and opened a Corridor of Darkness.

They walked through the portal and ended up in Twilight Town. The trio started to walk around and Maximum walked behind Roxas and Xion. Then the red haired nobody stopped walking. She clenched her fists and stared at the floor. 'If I don't get the Keyblade soon, what will I do?'

Suddenly, she was surrounded by six Heartless and when she looked around, there was no space to escape. "Thundara!" She yelled. This created a field around her and multiple lightning bolts shot down at the Heartless.

Roxas and Xion turned around and just as she thought she was finished, even more Heartless appeared. They gasped at this and when Max looked up her eyes widened. "Look behind you!" They turned around to see two Darkball Heartless. Their Keyblades appeared in their hands and her hands were covered with dark clouds.

She used all the magic tricks she had until she reached her limit. Max fell to her knees, all her stamina and strength sucked out dry. Around five Heartless jumped onto her back and she fell flat onto the ground. She kicked and pushed them off but they didn't give up.

Just as Roxas and Xion finished off the Darkball Heartless they turned to Max who was being trampled on and scratched by the Heartless. She finally kicked them all off and panted for air. They rushed to her and Roxas and Xion jumped in. They started fighting the Heartless and Max just stood there watching. Here she was unable to fight and they were protecting her.

The Heartless were finally defeated and Max looked at the ground whilst gripping fistfuls of her coat. "Thank you, so much." Roxas looked up at her and she met his gaze. He smiled softly at her.

"Don't worry about it." He mumbled and she turned to Xion.

"We'll always be there to protect you, Maximum." Xion said and Maximum stared at her without any emotion on her face.

"Xion has only one purpose, to absorb Roxas' memories and the power of the Keyblade."

She turned around from Xion and felt a tear falling down her cheek. Roxas furrowed his eyebrows at Max's strange behaviour and Xion frowned at this.

"Let's just go back to the Castle." She croaked her bright voice and opened a Corridor of Darkness. They went through the portal and ended up at the lounge. Her green eyes were glued to the ground as if ashamed of herself. There was an awkward silence between the trio until someone broke it.

Axel ran up to his little sister with a smile on his face. "Hey Max, how did your mission go?" He asked. "Did you get any sea salt ice cream on the way?" She turned around from her brother and stormed off; upset by the fact that she was so weak that she needed protection.

"What's wrong with her?" Axel asked and Roxas told him everything that happened on the mission.

Max's quick walking turned into running, but that was until she heard something that made her stop. She hid with her back to the wall and listened to the conversation which was between Xemnas and Saïx.

"So, what you are telling me is that Maximum does not have a Keyblade or weapon?" Xemnas asked.

"Yes, I was there in Twilight Town and I saw everything." She grinded her teeth and was boiling with rage; how could Saïx spy on them like that?!

"All she used was magic, but that was no good. She tried to use her darkness but she didn't have enough stamina or strength left."

"She must summon her Keyblade soon or else..." Her eyes widened and brimmed with tears.

"Or else what?" Saïx asked curiously.

"If she does not or is not able to summon her weapon, then she is useless to the Organisation and we will have to get Jonathan back."

This was too much too process: Jonathan was a puppet... Riku was right. he has also run away and if they brought him back, that would be a death sentence for her. Max was frozen on her own two feet. She was unable to do anything or think straight. To say that Saïx liked her so much but to spy on her when she would be on a mission, that was sad. But, what was worse was that Xemnas trusted her and now he was planning something to finish her- with one of her best friends!
