For your birthday, I thought I would write a little something about the future. Enjoy, my friend!
The two opponents faced off from across the board. A single hand touched the top of an ivory-black rook and moved it across three spaces. His opponent responded by grasping a white queen and moving it diagonally four spaces into the hole in the Black's defenses. The boy in control of the black pieces looked at the situation impassively, then pronounced, "Checkmate." His opponent smirked the smallest amount. "Well done, my son."
Itzal ground his teeth in frustration. Never once had he one a chess match against his father. "Why are you congratulating me, father?" he asked. "I lost." Zexion studied the board before answering his teenaged son. "If you had not left that hole in your defenses, your rook would have taken out my bishop. From their, putting me in checkmate would have been simple as it my king would have been left defenseless." Itzal looked impassionate but Zexion could tell he was feeling proud. "Two things I wish to teach you is to learn from defeat, and to not let victory swell your ego."
"Breakfast!"
The two blue-haired men looked up and answered the call. Waiting in the kitchen was Serenna, ready with some oatmeal,freshly squeezed orange juice, and whole wheat toast, freshly baked. In the Zexion household, flavor was sacrificed for nutritional value. The mind needed to be kept sharp, after all. Serenna served her husband and only child before settling down herself, adding chopped strawberries into her oatmeal and flavoring the toast with natural jam.
After the events of Castle Oblivion, Organization XIII(minus Marluxia, who had died in battle) received their hearts from a completed Kingdom Hearts. A couple years later, Larxene and Jason were wed. A few years later, Selene was born. During this interim, Zexion was wandering the worlds, trying to sort out his new emotions. Serenna followed him, love propelling her to stay by his side. At the end of his wanderings, Zexion proposed to Serenna, and the two married. So it was that a year after Selene's birth, Itzal came into the world. The two grew up in Twilight Town with their parents who didn't age.
Following Larxene's and Zexion's example, some of the Organization XIII members found a human partner and settled down. Exceptions included Roxas and Naminé, who married each other, Vexen, Lexaeus, Xenmas(also dead), Saïx, Xaldin and Xigbar. Which meant the other married members of Organization XIII were Xion, Axel, Luxord, and Demyx. Something interesting was that Xion married Riku, and of course Sora got hitched with Kairi. This meant that three different men got married to three different versions of the same woman.
But it was Vexen that noticed an interesting phenomenona. He was working on an experiment in his private laboratory(funded by other members of Organization XIII) when he looked into a mirror. When he checked up on the other members, his suspicions were confirmed: despite having hearts, none of the living members of Organization XIII aged at all, and kept their powers. Not only that, but the married members noticed that their human spouses stopped aging as well. Jason was the first to notice this personally when he turned 28 and realized he still looked 22.
But this made Organization XIII happy, especially the female Nobodies. This made raising children easier. Zexion and Larxene were the only ones that decided on having only one child. Xion and Riku, Roxas and Naminé, Axel, and Luxord all had two children. Sora and Kairi had three children between them, as did Demyx with his human wife.
Organization XIII scattered across the worlds with Zexion and Larxene settling down in the hometown of their respective spouses: Twilight Town. It wasn't uncommon for the friends to reunite, though. But when Selene turned thirteen, a Nobody by the name of Brinax rose to power. Brinax had power over the darkness itself, and took advantage of this to make an army of Heartless. With it, he began to take over the worlds. Sora's eldest son, a fourteen year-old boy by the name of Kenta, decided to save everything just like his old man. When Kenta went recruiting, he choose the daughter of the Nobody his father grudgingly respected: Selene. Selene only agreed to go with Kenta if she could take her best friend: a twelve year-old Itzal. The three became a party, and traveled the worlds while liberating them from the control of Brinax.
Just like his father Sora, Kenta made friends with most everyone he met. Itzal could reasonably say that he made a few firm acquaintances among the people he met. But Selene had nothing to report. Eventually, the group of three faced off against Brinax and defeated him with their combined might. But before Brinax faded into the Darkness, he used the last of his strength to grab Selene and drag her into the Darkness. The last Itzal saw of his best friend was a single heart rising into the sky. Of course, this had to be reported to Selene's parents. Jason reacted by threatening to pull Brinax back into existence to do unspeakable things to him. Larxene reacted by…well, long story short it took five men and a dose of horse tranquilizer just to knock her out. Jason next put his wife into a stasis pod to sleep in until his daughter could be rescued.
Itzal first went looking for Selene's Nobody. He found her in the World That Never Was. Her name was Lexsene. After Itzal escorted Lexsene back to Twilight Town, he went looking for her heart. The journey took a year, until a thirteen-year old Itzal visited Luxord and his wife in Port Royal. He admitted to seeing Selene's heart, and sending it back in time. Itzal challenged Luxord to a game of poker, and won. Luxord opened the time stream and recalled Selene's heart in human form. Itzal next guided Selene's heart back to Twilight Town, where Lexsene was waiting. Once Lexsene absorbed the heart, they fused to become: a fourteen year-old Selene. The two best friends swapped stories: Iztal's quest to reunite with Selene, and Selene meeting the younger versions of her parents. Her journey was transcribed in two journals: 84/3 days, and Chains of Affection. The twist ending in the second journal surprised Itzal.
He escorted his friend to her parents' house. Jason hugged his daughter hard enough to almost crack her in half, and when Larxene awoke to reunite with her daughter…Lee/Guy moment. That is all. Larxene threatened ten different types of hell if any one of the witnesses ever spoke about what happened.
Which lead into the present day: Itzal preparing for a day of middle school with his family.
"Zexion, what mission do you have today?" Serenna asked as she packed her child's lunch. Zexion looked up from his orange juice. "Nobody control in Neverland." Selene kissed her husband. "Careful, okay? Bye!" Zexion picked up his homemade lunch before waving goodbye to his family and leaving the house.
Itzal finsished his breakfast and picked up his bookbag and his lunch before bidding his mother goodbye. Once outside, he saw Selene waiting for him. "Let's go," Itzal stated to Selene. "Okay, but remember: the students at school aren't able to understand your advanced martian talk." she teased.
Just another day in Twilight Town.
There are so many possible fanfiction ideas here it's not even funny. Well, hope you have a wonderful birthday, Serenna.
