Ha Ha You're Dead

 

-

 

I. Xemnas

 

-

 

Ansem the Wise…you were pathetic.

 

And to think I once respected you—you were the one who sparked my initial interest with your research on hearts. I was fascinated by the concept of Heartless and the enigma known as Kingdom Hearts. I yearned to follow your steps and conduct experiments that would expand my knowledge of these subjects.

 

How unfortunate that you were a coward.

 

You attempted to cease these studies on hearts. You feared the results of the experiments.

 

You failed.

 

I refused to halt the experiments simply because you were too afraid to continue. I carried on your research farther than you ever dared to go.

 

I turned myself, along with your five other apprentices, into Heartless. Organization XIII consists of the bodies and souls left behind by strong-hearted individuals. And despite our dwindling numbers—despite your desperate attempt to destroy Kingdom Hearts in your dying breath—we will succeed in obtaining the power that is rightfully ours, even if we have to start all over.

 

Do you feel angry that your efforts were in vain? Do you fear what will befall the worlds once Kingdom Hearts is mine?

 

Do you realize that the destruction that has been inflicted everywhere is your fault?

 

After all…

 

You are the source of all Heartless. In turn, you are the reason Nobodies exist.

 

Are you afraid?

 

-

 

How do you get your sleep at night?

How did you get your noose so tight?

Like chewing on tinfoil, it's so much fun

Gonna be dead before your gone

II. Xigbar

I wasn't much of a science-y person, at least compared to the other apprentices. I was pretty much there for the hell of it. Well, actually, I had an interest in Keyblades. I knew all about the Keyblade Masters—the ones before Sora, that is. I wanted to know how they were connected to the Heartless. I guess that's the reason you took me on as an apprentice in the first place.

 

I'm pretty sure you didn't expect things to turn out this way. Hell, I don't think anyone did—except maybe Xenahort. Xemnas. Whatever you wanna call him now. For a long time, you had a bunch of Nobodies running around causing chaos. It was fun while it lasted. I liked having powers and being able to shoot at people with my gun arrows.

 

But seriously, did ya have to take Roxas from us? I liked the little guy—he was fun to mess around with. And did ya really have to sic Sora on all of us? I mean, you made one of our own guys betray us just so you could fulfill your own little revenge plot.

 

You're a douche bag, Ansem. DiZ. Whatever you're calling yourself now.

 

Damn, it's hard keeping up with all these name changes.

 

-

 

Look how things have gotten

And I'll be happy so I won't pretend

And I'll be cheering that you're going down

And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

III. Xaldin

DiZ, your attempts to stop Xemnas from achieving his goals are futile. No matter what you do, Xemnas will find a way to achieve Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas' power, with or without Kingdom Hearts, dwarfs that of your pathetic Keyblade Bearer.

 

What a pity that your life and your precious encoder were sacrificed for an unattainable goal.

 

The truth is that you've failed to stop us on multiple occasions—you never put an end to our research—you couldn't prevent us from turning ourselves into Heartless—you couldn't stop us from gaining power in our new forms—and you won't stop Xemnas from obtaining the ultimate power the resides within Kingdom Hearts.

 

How disappointing. I really thought you'd put up a better fight before you surrendered.

IV. Vexen

 

-

 

Xenahort saw right through you. Xemnas saw right through you. Both knew that you were incapable of taking the necessary steps to achieve greatness.

 

As our mentor, you were supposed to nurture our curiosity and help us develop our scientific skills so that we could make discoveries and change the universe.

 

You did the opposite—you crushed our dreams and stunted our growth.

 

-

 

How many feelings can you steal?

Gotta be part of your appeal

I can see through you 'cause you're wearing thin

Like chewing on tinfoil once again

 

-

 

After everything we did in the name of science…you attempted to annihilate us. You hated that we had the valor to continue the research you abandoned. Your emotions controlled you. Not only did you allow them to get in the way of your studies, but you turned them against us and hindered our own experimentation.

 

You are a scientist. You know exactly how much effort and dedication is required for research. How could you destroy the work of other scientists?

 

Your emotions prevented you from becoming a distinguished member of the scientific community. Your emotions obstructed your research. In the end, your emotions also killed you.

V. Lexaeus

I was never much of a talker, even before I became a Nobody. When I did speak, I made my words count. But mostly, I was a listener. I absorbed information from others, and was eager to learn from them.

 

I didn't show it, but I was excited when I joined your research group. I hoped to work alongside other talented scientists and make discoveries with them.

 

But instead, I was treated like a servant.

 

Zexion was the worst. He asked me to do menial tasks that he felt he was above doing. Yet at the same time, I was most loyal to him because he actually gave me the time of day…when he wasn't ordering me around, he spoke to me as an equal, unlike the others.

 

If you had given me a chance to prove my intelligence and worth, I could have been an asset to your research. Unfortunately, you were too busy with Xenahort to notice me.

 

Perhaps if you had formed relationships with the other apprentices besides Xenahort, events would have played out differently.

 

You have no one to blame but yourself for your demise.

VI. Zexion

Everything that happened these past few years was a mistake—or rather, a series of mistakes that developed into a catastrophe.

 

The first mistake was your decision to begin research on hearts. It was the spark that ignited string that would eventually lead to a detonator, which, upon explosion, would ruin all worlds.

 

Your second mistake was taking on Xenahort as your apprentice.

 

I can understand Xenahort's appeal—he was a talented student, eager and sharp. But the fact that he was so interested in the darkness of hearts should have warned you of his sinister nature—it was clear even to me that he had an ulterior motive.

 

I admit that I, like Xenahort, was interested in pushing the bounds of science at great personal risk—especially if it meant that I would be granted power in return. I worked most closely with Xenahort, and my diligence accelerated our discovery of the process of converting ourselves to Heartless.

 

As a Nobody, I was pleased with the results of our experimentation—at least at first. We lacked the emotion our human counterparts did, and we also acquired supernatural abilities. My attribute, illusion, was unique compared to many of the element-based attributes.

 

Once the Organization had obtained its thirteen expected members, it seemed that our goals for Kingdom Hearts would soon become a reality.

 

But then Castle Oblivion happened. It was a disaster. Five members were eliminated, which was a heavy loss to the Organization.

 

I blame Axel for what happened there.

 

Then again, Axel wouldn't exist—or `not exist'—if you had never begun your experiments.

 

Quintessentially, everything that has occurred since your started your research can be traced back to you. Your mistakes. Your calamity.

 

For you, death was a kind punishment.
