“Lexian….Triskix…..you’ve changed….” Peter said quietly. “You’ve changed……”
Lexian and I looked at Peter tiredly. He was the same old Peter Pan and he would be like that forever, and we knew it.
"Sorry Peter, but we have lost somethings and we need to get them back," I said Lexian nodded, and I opened a portal.
"Where are you taking him?" Peter asked. "At least give me that....."
"Home," I answered.
"We're sorry but we won't let you," a voice quickly said.
Two nobodies came crashing through the ceiling with their hoods up. I jumped and grabbed one of the lots boys away from the falling area. I threw him to Peter and told them to run.
"Wait! What about you guys!" Peter exclaimed.
"No time Peter! Go now and find a safe place!" I answered.
"Lexian, Triskix! Come with us!" one of the bosy said.
"No," Lexian answered. "We're going to fight this."
Peter sighed and nodded running off with the boys. The two nobodies that stood before us continued to have their hoods up, and I glared into the blackness under the hood.
"What an entrance," I said rolling my eyes.
The two flipped off their hoods.
"Serix and Jax.....interesting pair," Lexian growled. "Leave now this is our buiness."
"So cold so cold we try and take RaXi and you steal Anamx from us? Not nice," Jax smirked. "Well we're here to take back what is ours."
"You talk as though he's an object," I glared.
"He is," Serix answered. "And the Leader wants him."
"Serix! Jax!" Anamx yelled, and once more he struggled for Lexian to let him go. Lexian refused, and I summoned my scythe ready to beat back Jax and Serix if the need be.
We stood still waiting for the fight we all knew was coming......
-------
Minx stared at Le Faix. There had been a long silence and the air was heavy.
"Do you want to play?" Minx asked. "A game or something?"
Le Faix gave Minx an uninterested look. She was too busy planning how best to kill Kyxsha.
"Why?" Le Faix finally answered back.
"I just wanted to play.....or maybe we should go find Xerebus-sama....." Minx continued. "I bet he has more work for me to do or something......I hope he has something....."
"Xerebus is coming," Aidex said quickly. "He is angry......"
"Sama!" Minx said quickly, and as soon as she said it a portal opened and Xerebus stepped through.
"Xerebus-sama!" Minx said jumping of the bed and towards Xerebus. Xerebus sighed and gave an unwilling hug to Minx.
"Xerebus-sama I was so......." Minx started.
"Minx is it true you went to Castle Oblivion?" Xerebus asked sharply.
Minx backed away and gave a respet bow.
"Yes.....I.....wanted to know something for myself....." Minx answered.
"And what was it?" Xerebus asked.
"That......the Organization Oblivion Leader....no.....well....there is a bit of defiance from his second in command....Triskix..." Minx said trying to find a way of not telling Xerebus about the experience. "But I was so scare! I'm so happy you're back!"
Xerebus sighed and looked toward Minx's bed. Le Faix was still sitting perfectly still on the bed.
"Minx," Xerebus stared. "You didn't make her a doll did you?"
Minx turned around and understood.
"No," Minx answered. "She's upset, and I didn't let her go back to Castle Oblivion....."
"I see," Xerebus said darkly. "Minx I am putting you out of service for a while."
"WHY!" Minx nearly screamed.
"I need you here to reinforce Citadel's defenses understood?" Xerebus asked.
Minx sighed and nodded.
"Ok Xerebus-sama......." Minx said quietly.
Xerebus nodded and the opened a portal to leave.
"That is all Minx," he said darkly walking into the portal. Once the portal was closed Minx turned to Le Faix.

XD I'm on a roll..........
As we walked through the portal, Lexian smirked.
“I didn’t expect to return to Neverland so soon,” Lexian almost laughed.
“It the first place that you saw Anamx running,” I answered. “If we can find a clue to where he is running then it will make things easier on us both.”
“Yes, sounds logical,” Lexian answered, “But then again if we run into Zero there will be a confrontation.”
“Yes, but if we continue to even search for Anamx then we are headed into a confrontation.”
“True enough,” Lexian answered.
As we walked inwards on the island, suddenly the air became very quiet.
“A trap,” Lexian said.
“Yes,” I answered. “Come out whoever you are or I’ll make this island burn to the ground!”
Lexian somewhat sighed and then smacked his forehead.
“That is not what I had in mind,” he said.
Suddenly one of the lost boys appeared. He was in a fox suit. I couldn’t remember his name and really Didi’t want to….He stared at me and then turned and went running.
“Should we?” I asked.
“Why not,” Lexian answered.
We both ran after the boy and all the way back to that secret tree where Peter Pan and the other boys were.
“Ah Lexian!” Peter said quickly flying over happily. “What brings ya back? And with……Triskix could that possibly be you? Haha it is you. 0_e wow you’ve gotten older…..”
I stared at him and tried to stay focused. Lexian started the conversation.
“Peter remember when I ran after the boy and had to leave?” he started.
Peter nodded.
“Well I lost the boy and we were wondering if you had seen him again…..” Lexian finished.
“Nope haven’t seen him,” Peter answered crossing his arms.
All the lost boys were playing, but then stopped and became very silent listening in.
“Peter, are you lying?”Lexian started.
Peter gave Lexian a sheepish look. Lexian sighed again, and I glared at Peter. A fire sparked and three of the lost boys scrambled to put it out. Lexian gave me a look and I just shrugged. We both looked at Peter who now had the expression of a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar.
Suddenly Tinkerbell came flying around and sat at Peter’s shoulder. Lexian and I waited as Tink said something or other to Peter. I snapped my fingers and a flame started on the ground. One of the boys started yelling and ran off to get water. Peter noticed and grew somewhat pale.
“I will have order Peter. That hasn’t changed. And right now my order consists of you telling us where Anamx is,” I said caustically.
“O…..ok fine…..” Peter said averting his eyes a bit. “Yes the boy from before is here…..but you have to keep it a secret! And you have to help him!”
Lexian and I exchanged a glace. Ya we would help him…..after we got the memories back….Lexian nodded, and Peter smiled.
“Ok he’s in the house….come on!”
The boys entered first, then peter, then Lexian, then me. As I walked in a memory of Lexian and I playing in here a long time ago came to mind. I shoved it away quickly.
“Do you two remember the fun we had here?” Peter asked. “Both of you were just kids heh….it was so much fun finding the treasure and playing with the Indians....I wish you could have stayed that way…..”
“Peter, nobodies like us grow up,” Lexian answered. “There is no way around that since we were created as children.”
“Yes I know,” Peter answered. “But you could have stayed here and stayed kids forever.”
I sighed and Lexian smacked his forehead.
“We have a home to go home to.” Lexian answered. “Castle Oblivion.”
“Ya but after the fall I thought maybe you would come here,” Peter answered.
“Stop now,” I said irritated. “No more of that. Where is Anamx?”
Peter sighed and knocked on a wall five times. The wall came forwards and a very pale child fell out of it. He looked straight at Lexian and I and backed straight up ageist the wall.
“Peter! Why! I thought you said I was safe here!” Anamx said trying to get back behind the wall.
“Anamx, these guys just want to help….right Lexian right Triskix?” Peter said giving Lexian and I a quiet look.
“Yes,” I answered. “We just have a few questions.”
“No! Stay away!” Anamx said his voice growing higher. He tried to back into the wall more as if he hoped to faze into it.
“Enough,” Lexian said stepping forwards and grabbing Anamx around the wrist. “I want to know now. Why did you take our memories?”
“Stop! Stop! No!” Anamx yelled.
Peter gave me and Lexian a shocked look. Anamx screamed and tried to pull away, but Lexian's grip was firm.
"No! I don't want to die! No!" Anamx screamed more. His high pitched voice was incorrigible.
"You won't die you'll just answered the questions and give back our memories," Lexian answered.
"No! No! Death! No!" Anamx yelled.
"Stop yelling," Lexian ordered.
"PETER! I don't want to die! Peter save me!" Anamx yelled.
“Lexian this isn’t the place,” I said looking around as the lost boys tensed in fear and waiting to attack. “All of you! Leave. This is a private matter. Even you Peter. We have to do a few things….”
“Lexian....Triskix stop…..” Peter said his voice growing. “I didn’t have this in mind! STOP! He’s just a kid!”
"I don't want to fade! Peter!!!!!!!!" Anamx yelled.
"What did he do to desrve...." Peter started. "He's just a kid!"
“A kid that took something from us,” I answered. "A kid we'll deal with Peter. Now leave."
This was not going well.
“Stop! Stop! I’m sorry! Stop! Let go! PETER!” Anamx yelled.
“Give them back,” Lexian growled. “Give them back now!”
Peter and the boys rushed forwards, but I put up a wall of blue fire.
“That fire won’t burn, but if you touch it you’ll die,” I glared. It was a bluff but enough to keep them at bay. Anamx continued to struggle away from Lexian, but soon it became apparent that Lexian was not about to let go. Anamx finally relaxed, and Lexian stopped yelling.
I looked at Peter and the boys. Their faces had a mixture of shock and fear.
“Lexian….Triskix…..you’ve changed….” Peter said quietly. “You’ve changed……”
__________________________________________________________________
Will continue more!
As I set RaXi down on a bed, I found her already asleep. I sighed a bit more than intended.
"This shouldn't have happened," Lexian said sharply to me.
"I know," I answered.
"The Leader didn't let you and me go. He is to blame," Lexian continued so that only I could hear.
"Stop," I answered. "Your digging a grave for yourself."
"I won't drop this Triskix. We are the strongest ones in the castle, but the Leader refuses to let us go due to memories? I find it out of order...."
He had used the last words merely to get under my skill, but I brushed it off calmly. I knew I was being obderate, but I didn't need a fight with the Leader. I didn't want a fight with anyone at the moment. Seeing all the blood made me want to throw up.
"Still quesy after all this time Triskix? I figured that would be the first thing you killed when we were all split up...." Lexian somewhat smirked.
"No," I answered. "I'm fine."
Suddenly Kyxsha backed up and turned around. Lexian fell completely silent, and we both looked at her. I felt he strange twitch in my stomach as usual, but I kept my face placid. Blood was stained up and down Kyxsha's uniform....
I stared at Kyxsha and she stared right back. She turned around and started looking at her hands. My scars began to burn again and I looked down at my arm. There was nothing there, but it still hurt......
"Why did this happen?" Kyxsha asked.
"Because," I started. Everyone gave me a prying look. "Because......" I wondered whether or not to say what everyone knew......The Leader jumped into my mind quickly and I felt more scars burn. I winced a bit.
If you blame this on me Triskix, realize that I will have to destroy them all....... The Leader's sharp voice rang through my head.
"Because the memories that are returning....." I answered.
Everyone gave me another questioned look.
"If we are to get revenge for this.....we must find the child who has taken our memories and make him give them all back," I answered.
"Yes it does seem a hunt for Anamx is better than hunting for leads," Lexian said sharply. "Triskix let's go now."
I turned sharply towards Lexian and we both exchange the look. Yes we would go. We would start then. We would find Anamx. Hold on
a voice said harshly.
Suddenly a portal opened and the Leader came though standing as always with his hood over his head and his arms crossed. I stared at him blankly.
"Now then," the Leader started.
"Leader," I quickly said. "You already gave me a week to search for memories in 'any means necessary.' you cannot have a say in something you have already granted. We are going."
The Leader gave me a caustic look but then seemed to mollify.
"Fine," the Leader smirked. "Do as you wish and find the memories as you wish....."
Lexian nodded,and I started opening a portal.
"Wait what about the attack on Citadel?" Kyxsha asked. "We need everyone...."
"You will do fine with those that are in the castle," the Leader answered. "Triskix and Lexian have a week, and I will make sure they have it."
The portal was open, and Lexian and I walked through. What we didn't know....was what lay ahead......

*bangs head on desk* this is going to be difficult to write lulz. XD
"TRISKIX! LEXIAN!!! NYX...." a voice screamed.
Lexian's head shot up from behind a stack of books. We both exchanged a look. Lexian's eyes narrowed, and I nodded. We broke out of the library quickly and headed towards the yell.
"That was," I started.
"RaXi ya I know," Lexian answered as we streamed down the hallway.
As soon as I saw her, I wanted to incinerate everything. Lexian grabbed my shoulder to halt me from running. We both walked slowly, quietly towards RaXi.
"Triskix....Lexian.....Nyx.......Xemmsur.....Marlex.....Xeros.....everyone.....why....." RaXi was mumbling to herself and somewhat rocking back and forth.
Lexian and I bent down quietly, and I moved my hand up to RaXi's shoulder.
"STOP!" RaXi shouted quickly. "Stop.....stop.......stop....."
Lexian and I looked at each other. Neither of us knew what had happened or what to do.
"RaXi it's us," Lexian said calmly. "Where are Nyx and Xemmsur?"
RaXi replied in fragments of speech and fear. Ice crystals started to form along the wall Raxi had her back against. I put my hand up against the nearest one and melted it. RaXi stopped for a moment and looked at me in shock.
"Triskix......." she started. "Why..........why did you die on me dam it......" RaXi turned her head swiftly to Lexian. "Why did you die why....why....why did all of you die .....Nyx....Xemmsur ....Marlex ....Lexian....Triskix.....everyone......"
At hearing my own name, a pang of shock went through me. Lexian seemed to have the same thought running through his mind. We both talked at once.
"We're not dead," Lexian answered.
"No one has died," I answered.
RaXi turned her head to face Lexian.
"Then why are you all dead!" RaXi shouted. "Lexian..why didn't you just kill me.." She turned her head sharply to me. "Triskix why did you let me hang you.....WHY!"
RaXi broke down again and started mumbling to herself everyone's names.
"RaXi none of us are dead.....none of us have faded," Lexian tried again.
I grabbed RaXi's shoulder, but she wouldn't look at either Lexian or me. Lexian grabbed her other shoulder.
"We're alive," I said bracing myself for her to start yelling. "Can the dead or faded touch?"
RaXi stopped and picked up her head.
"We're real RaXi. We're alive," Lexian said smoothly.
"You're.......alive......" RaXi said looking at both of us.
RaXi moved her hand up and put it on the side of my face. I didn't move. She did the same to Lexian. He didn't move either.
"You're alive.....you're real......." RaXi said breathing heavily.
"Yes we're alive," I said.
"What about Nyx and Xemmsur?" Lexian asked.
RaXi looked straight at Lexian. I waited for the answer.
If I told you a secret
Would you keep it?
~Triskix
I felt the anger starting to burn at my skin a bit before Nyx left. I couldn't tell anymore if it was the Leader's or mine. Once the portal shut the Leader started questioning everyone about their missions, and I felt a mellow calm run though me.
Stay calm Triskix I thought to myself.
Kyxsha started talking, and the Leader pressed his bit of anger onto her. Apparently another nobody had been in the castle. I wondered if I had been away.
Of course smart one, the Leader answered.
I sighed realizing that he was in my head and simply working through my thoughts. I had almost become numb to the fact that I had someone in my head....it was unnerving.....
"Now then," the Leader continued looking at Lexian. "Tell me of you're experience."
Lexian gave me a glance asking whether he should tell, but I could already feel the Leader starting into my memory of our chat. I hoped Lexian wouldn't lie.....for his sake.
"I ran into a boy being chased by another nobody," Lexian answered. He went on to talk about chasing the boy, but he never mentioned a name. The Leader seemed satisfied, and I sighed a bit.
"Now then Ximh?" the Leader asked. "Explain."
Xihm gave his report on his missions, and I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes. It was strange to be back in the room, but I liked it. The only thing that somewhat tormented me was where I was sitting. At first thought I had wanted to dive straight for Axel's chair, but I had to remember I couldn't do such a thing anymore. I sighed and looked over at the chair.
Stop it. Your miscellaneous thoughts are annoying. The Leader's sharp thoughts yelled into my head.
Sorry. I thought back. I forgot that the link worked both ways, and I guessed he was getting irritated at me. I rolled up my sleeve and examined my arm.
The scars had appeared for a moment shimmering in the Leader's anger, but now they were closing up again as if they had never been there to begin with. I realized I still had my scythe in hand and quickly dismissed it.
I looked over and found Lexian staring at me. I stared back, and in that moment Ximh stopped talking.
