Dusks make the most annoying sounds. I cracked one eye open a fraction of an eyelash. There was one besides me, chewing on one of the abandoned gummi blocks that surrounded the area. I watched it for a while. I watched its twitchy motions and its zip like teeth and when it was on the verge of leaving I leapt and tore and swiped until it was really gone.

It was frightening really, a part of me was still aware. Still intelligent. It had realised what I'd become… and what I'd become was nothing.
As I slipped further and further away from emotions and civility the more and more creatures would approach me, I realised they considered me one of them. And it … angered me? No that's not the word. Remember? I don't have a heart.
So as they reached me, beady yellow eyes and black dusty faces I hissed and span on them, always letting them get close enough so when I lurched they only had a second to flee but a second wasn't long enough, they were my victims and that simple act, killing the lowly, was what I tried to assure myself with. It meant I was still higher than them.
But that more intelligent part of me I mentioned? It niggled at my mind, and kept saying, 'you're lower'.

The buildings are tall, I noticed that. And they had working doors and glass windows. And illuminated signs and light bulbs and I often wondered… where did they come from?
I have a theory you see, in my sick and deluded mind where I wander the empty streets looking for my long lost friends I conjure up theories and this is my most favourite, I think it might just be true.
This world is a Nobody of another world. For you see Toxin told me once the worlds are all connected, and they are connected by hearts, and humans too are connected to each other by their hearts, so maybe a mighty and strong world one day lost its heart, you see? And it created this place where all beings that loose their hearts eventually end up, and that's why this world is so big and so vast.
And you know what my favourite part is? I think the heart that was lost; was Kingdom Hearts.

One day I woke up with a horrible pain in my neck where I had fallen asleep sat up against one of the walls, and I looked up and thought I must have died in the night.
"TaxikTaxikTaxik!"
The voice was happy; delighted, excited but muffled as if there was water surrounding my head. And everything around me seemed so fuzzy and out of focus and—
"Xellab give her room!"
I gasped like a fish out of water, so fast and so deep I made both of the blurry figures jump a mile. I grabbed a tanned heart shape face, with aquatic eyes and golden curls and dimples in both her cheeks and screamed in her face.
I looked up, panting and shaking and saw concerned icy blue eyes in the most devastatingly handsome face I had seen in … forever!
"YOU'RE HERE!" in the time I had been away from people I must have lost the ability to control the volume of my voice because I couldn't stop screaming.
Drix was kneeling beside me too now, pushing me against the wall and telling me to breath and calm down but I couldn't. Every time he told me to be quiet I screamed his name, every time he tried to hold me still I clutched onto him and hugged him, every time he told me to calm down I burst into fits of insane laughter.
All this time I'd been looking for them!
And they found me!!!

Drix and Xellab had found eachother not too long ago and ever since had been hauled up in one of the empty buildings, going out on search parties to find me and Spedrox every night. I wondered how on earth we never crossed paths but remembered Lixbyx's words to Nerox 'this world was made for things never to be found' and damnit all, I think she may have been right.
The building they occupied was powered by Drix's power over electricity which meant they had warmth, light and many other daily necessities, the way Drix used his power reminded me of Nerox and how he used his will over fire in a very similar way. I would like to say I was overjoyed to have been found and reunited with my friends, I mean, that's what I wanted for so long right?
Right.
But… it had been too long. I was too far-gone into the darkness, the humanity I had gained from being with my fellow Nobodies had disappeared and I was a power hungry creature, still restless and eager to finish the job. I had to find Spedrox.
So we, all three of us, continued the daily searches, up and down and all around for my long lost partner, but like so very many times before, our efforts seemed useless.
We spilt up when we went out searching and one day the weirdest thing happened…

The dark walls of the empty buildings around me turned from black to white, and voices ran cascaded through my mind like waves overlapping and blending together, I panicked and turned in haste but when I regained my senses I was in a large white and silver castle, porcelain floors and walls surrounded me with many floors and depths, for a moment I panicked! I thought I was back in Castle Unfaultered, but the designs around me were far too intricate.
"…Hey"
I span around to see the familiar image of someone completely clad in a black organisation coat.
"Who are you?!" I demanded summoning my weapons into my hands, but the figure did not retort.
"Don't waste your energy, I'm already gone."
"…What?"
"I just died. Sacrificed myself to get… him over here."
"The fuck are you on about?!" I demanded, my weapons not faltering from my grasp unlike my patience.
"…It doesn't matter, it's nothing to do with you. It's not your story."
"Start making sense! And take down your hood!"
And to my great surprise, he did. Revealing shocking red hair I recognised him instantly, the man who had been at Toxin's death.
"You!" I pointed one blade of my weapon towards him but he quickly cut me off by raising his hand.
"I told you, I'm already gone. I just died."
I stayed silent, a sign for him to continue.
"When a Nobody sacrifices themselves they get one more wish. Mine was to visit the people who meant the most to me, but I can't see Toxin. So instead, I'm here to apologise to you,"
We stared, an unwavering battle of green and red for what felt like forever before he sighed and turned away, "I have something to show you."
And suddenly the voices were back, overlapping and confusing but this time there were images. Ghostly images were suddenly all around me seemingly partaking in day to day lives, just other Nobodies like Unfaultered walking around and I realised I was witnessing the man's memories.
And then I saw her, just like I remembered her. Toxin was stood laughing and dancing around with her fellows, and I smiled and just watched her for the longest time until the redhead's solid figure amongst the ghosts caught my attention.
"…Who else are you going to see?" I asked, creating conversation and attempting friendliness, but even as I asked the question I saw him looking guiltily at a beautiful blond haired boy who was watching Toxin as she made a sceptical of herself. I smiled at the silent answer and thrust my hand towards the man.
"I'm Taxik, the ex fifteenth member of Organisation Unfaultered."
"I'm Axel, A-X-E-L, got it memorized?"
And then the memory faded.

I wanted to see you so bad. Don't you understand? I was driving crazy by how hard I looked for you! But I knew now I couldn't find you. And I knew even if I did, there was no point. I loved you Spedrox, I was pretty sure with you I had a heart. And Drix and Xellab I'm so sorry I never came back that night. But I knew now… even with my mind depraved of sense and control I understood!
Don't you understand? We found kingdom hearts! Within each other! By creating love and friendship we weren't pretending to have emotions! We weren't remembering the memories from our past lives! A heart is something we earn by encountering other people and loving other people and hating other people but the longer we're away from each other the more our hearts slip… and sadly for me so did my mind.
As I walked with the rain soaking me from head to toe after my encounter with Axel and his memories I wasn't thinking straight, but then again I don't think I'd been thinking straight for a long time. I walked until my feet were numb, and my body was shaking from exhaustion and then I saw him.
He stood before me with the most perfect and startling eyes, eyes the colour of the sky beyond the darkness and clouds. I was worn and tired in more ways than one, but even as I shook I rushed towards him and I fought.
His weapon was a giant key, and his spiked hair was damp and softened by the rain, his clothes were bright and vibrant but had suffered much wear and tear from a long journey and I empathised with him as our weapons clashed, I felt a certain something about the boy as we fought and I knew even as he kicked my ass with experienced skill I knew I had found something.
I had found what this world was,
I had found the way to earning a heart
And as that boy's weapon stabbed me through my empty chest and I looked up to his sky blue eyes I realised my story was not part of his. In his story my name and presence would never be mentioned I was insignificant compared to him. I fell to my knees as I faded and the boy ran off to complete his journey, but even with his back turned and disappearing into the darkness of the world and my vision faded I could see his face clearly in my deranged mind; I had found it.
This point.
This boy.
This was the Divine purpose.

And I faded into nothing.

# ITS OVER!
Ok MAJOR KH refrences this time 'round. I wanted to exagerate how umimportant Taxik was in the end, how she was just another Nobody who, because she was so unimportant, didn't even finish her journey, because it was cut short by the biggest story of all: Sora's.

SO there you go, Taxik's dead and gone, :)
Just wanted to say a HUUUGE thank you to those who made this story happen, god knows, theres alot of you!

# If your character is mentioned and you'd like me to post a disclaimer to them tell me, I totally understand if you do, but understand I use alot of characters so will only be noting them down if you tell me you want me to
