PURELY FOR SCIENCE EASY REFERENCE, because fetching all of these in Days is a drag. All the secret reports about/by Axel! \o/ HUZZAH. Taken from
this. The notes in brackets are ttly mien, and again for self-reference mostly.
=====Day 8: Roxas=====
Seems like we're getting new members every day. No. XIII was a boy, Roxas.
Now we've got a No. XIV, Xion.
Today's mission was to show Roxas the ropes. I feel like they've had me
babysitting him since he got here. He's not a bad kid, but he's spacey. Good
fighter, though. At least I won't be bored.
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 14: This Kid?=====
Another mission with Roxas today. Is he seriously my responsibility? At least
he's starting to talk like a normal person. Maybe that means his memory's
coming back.
Still, this kid's supposed to be the Keyblade master's Nobody? I don't see it.
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 22: Castle Oblivion=====
They pushed up the CO plan. Our little hero with the key must've made a move.
Me and his Nobody have been meeting up for ice cream the last few days. Not
the best conversationalist, but at least he's mastered a few facial features
besides "doom" and "gloom".
I told him about C.O., but he didn't seem to follow.
Guess that's understandable.
Report Author: Axel
[For timeline purposes: Day 23 to like... 71, Axel is gone to Castle Oblivion. Way to take forever to climb twelve sets of stairs, Sora.]
=====Day 26: Axel's Actions=====
Simple deduction suggests Axel's outwardly inscrutable actions are the result
of some directive from Saïx.
Why else eliminate Vexen? He simply wanted to do research. Did we not all
stand to gain from the fruits of his Program? What is Axel thinking?
Report Author: Zexion
=====Day 27: Organization Dog=====
Axel is in the way, though I don't know if he's aware of our plot.
Vexen had no part in our plans - why eliminate him, assuming Axel's orders
were to root out traitors to the organization? Discerning his motives merits
our full attention.
Report Author: Marluxia
=====Day 28: Dealing with the Traitors=====
I've uncovered most of what I need to know about the Replica Program, but
where's the other one? I can't find any trace of it.
... Vexen was caught in the middle. Pitiable, but unavoidable. I could not
risk his Program falling into their hands.
Of greater concern are the traitors. Not the obvious turncoats, but the ones
who will get in his and my way. The Keyblade master is not our enemy.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: When I first read this, I wasn't 100% sure if it WAS Axel writing. There's no one else it could be, of course, but it still sounds weird. :\]
=====Day 51: Measures Must Be Taken=====
The Replica Program continues apace, but something has gone wrong at Castle
Oblivion. The Dusks returned with word that none of those we dispatched
survived - but the news came in fragments. I still know too little to extract
the truth.
I doubt Axel would be among those lost, but I must plan for the worst. First,
I must locate the Keyblade master.
Report Author: Saïx
[Note: In theory, Sora's part of Chain of Memories ends around Day 49/50. As for Riku's...]
=====Day 52: Another Mission=====
I've lost track of the Keyblade master and the other intruders. I'm the only
one left in the castle. Everybody else has been destroyed. My orders were to
end the traitors, but I think by this point, I fit that bill better than
anybody.
There's one last thing I need to look into while I'm here.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: Riku finishes not long after, apparently, and then DiZ, Naminé, Riku and Mickey ... grab Sora, Donald and Goofy and leave somehow idk. The 'one last thing' he's talking about is trying to find the Chamber of Waking.]
=====Day 71: The Traitor's End=====
Saïx had a hand in what went down at Castle Oblivion - well, more like a
whole arm. Which means Axel was in on it as well.
It's a fact that Xemnas ordered Axel to take out the traitors, orders which
went through Saïx. No specific names were given, but naturally Xemnas knew
who the turncoats were right from the get-go.
Report Author: Xigbar
[Note: Apparently, the first six (or at least Zexion and Xigbar) noticed Axel and Saïx were very allied, but somehow Marluxia and Larxene totally missed it, to trust Axel like that. Huh.]
=====Day 72: Human=====
The longer you know someone, the less you need to speak in clear terms.
Everything gets across with a wink and a nudge, a little reading between the
lines...
When it comes to what befell our late comrades at Castle Oblivion, ambiguity
suits me just fine.
But the Keyblade master and Roxas come out and say every little thing that
comes to mind. Maybe that's human, or maybe they're just special.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: HEY AXEL HIS NAME IS SORA JUST USE IT ALREADY -- err, more importantly, the first part is definitely related to Saïx, and now I'll never be unable to unsee Axel going winkwinknudgenudge at Saïx... LITERALLY.]
=====Day 74: Xion's Face=====
Honestly, I never got why Roxas was so crazy about Xion. I know they both
joined up around the same time, and they're both rookies, but how do you get
close to somebody who hides their face all the time?
Well, I saw it today. All of a sudden, No XIV up and takes off... her hood.
Xion is a girl, and she looks just like Namine.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: While fans saw Xion as a Kairi lookalike, Axel saw her as a Naminé lookalike, because that's who he knew first. It's kind of funny. Also, no one in the Organization knew Xion's gender before she unhooded to Roxas ... for, well, obvious reasons.]
=====Day 75: Gotta Do Something=====
Roxas has been coming along on my missions to help out, since I can't use the
Keyblade. Axel is covering for me, so I should be safe for now. But what am I
going to do if I never get the Keyblade back? I can't lie forever.
Report Author: Xion
=====Day 95: My Past=====
Neither Roxas or I have any memory of our human lives. I don't even remember
my first days as a Nobody.
Roxas said he was the same, but I'm not so sure. For me, it's a total blank.
I can't even remember the day I met Roxas, or Axel. It's all a blur.
Report Author: Xion
=====Day 96: Friends=====
Xion regained her ability to wield the Keyblade. I don't know how or why.
Maybe there's more to the Keyblade master they're not telling me about.
I feel like I've been spending more time talking to Roxas and Xion lately
than my old friend, Saïx. This has to have been what it was like, friendship.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: Yeah for those who missed it SAÏX AND AXEL ARE OLD FRIENDS. And apparently the meaning of old friends is "we were friends when we were human but now we're giant dicks". Or something.]
=====Day 118: You Changed, Not Me=====
Talking to Roxas and Xion always brings back memories of my human life, back
when I was a kid. It's a weird sensation.
I ought to be able to share all this with Saïx, but I just don't feel like it
anymore. It's strange, but I'm content with just missing what's gone.
I'm not the one who changed. You did.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: If it wasn't obvious, Axel is making a callback to what Saïx told him the same day: 'You changed'.]
=====Day 150: Dealing with Xion=====
As expected, the Duplicate is starting to show its limits. The Program showed
promise, but a puppet is just a puppet: something to be toyed with until it
breaks.
I am utterly at a loss as to what Roxas and Axel see in that thing. How best
to dispose of it merits my consideration going forward.
Report Author: Saïx
[Note: This is Saïx totally not being jealous of Xion AT ALL. At aaaaaall.]
=====Day 152: Like a Real Person=====
Roxas and Xion must have had it out over something. Knowing them, it's
something dumb, but still.
Watching them, it's like they're human. It's messing with my head.
I kind of wonder if Roxas understood all that about the wrong buttons. I get
the sense a lot of it went right over his head.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: THIS IS JUST HILARIOUS BECAUSE IT MENTIONS AXEL'S BELIEFS THAT GIRLS HAVE METAPHORICAL BUTTONS.]
=====Day 172: Meaning Behind the Words=====
There has to be something to what Saïx said. Why isn't Xion qualified to be
one of us? He said to just look at her, but at what? The fact that she looks
like Namine?
Xion and Namine must be connected. Whose Nobody is Xion, anyway? What is Saïx
hiding?
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 194: The Replica=====
I thought I'd never see the word "Replica" again. Any rational man would
realize the Riku Replica was not likely unique, but I'm the only one in the
Organization who knew of his exceptional copying functionality, and that he
ultimately formed a sense of self. The fact that I knew all that and still
never noticed the truth about Xion speaks to how remarkable a Replica she
must be.
But my questions remain unanswered. Who is she a Replica of? Namine? Kairi?
Or perhaps someone entirely different? Why did the Orgnaization admit her into
this membership? And why would such a fine Replica fall unconscious or
sporadically lose its command of the Keyblade?
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 224: Xion=====
Even if Xion is a Replica - a puppet - she's still Xion. I understand that in
my head, but how do I interact with her now? Riku-Replica was just a tool, but
I can't just use Xion. No, I was wrong to have just used Riku-Replica in the
first place. How is a man-made puppet any less worthy than a Nobody that was
never meant to exist at all?
They're both ambiguous. Tenuous at best. And she's my friend. Even if neither
of us should exist, that doesn't invalidate the bonds we form. Next break we
get, I told her we'd all go to the beach. I hope we get the chance. Our little
summer vacation. I know if we can get together and laugh about stupid stuff,
this nagging doubt will go away.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: IT TAKES AXEL THIRTY DAYS TO COME TO THIS CONCLUSION SINCE LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT XION BEING A REPLICA. To quote the guy himself: man you're slow.]
=====Day 225: Secrets About Me=====
My body feels heavy, and my head aches. I'm too busy dreaming to get any rest
from sleep. Axel knows something. He's hiding some secret. It must be in
Castle Oblivion. That's where I was born.
Report Author: Xion
[Note: Meanwhile Xion noticed Axel acting weird. After a month, you would too.]
=====Day 276: Behind the Truth=====
Xion is gone. Roxas still doesn't know anything, but Xion found out. That's
why I need to find her. We don't have hearts, so we accept the facts we're
given as the truth. But something far more important lies behind that truth.
Saïx would laugh at people with no hearts calling one another friends, but
that doesn't make it not so.
As the Nobody of the hero of the Keyblade and the Replica of that Nobody,
these two are special. Unique in every since of the word. But that doesn't
change the fact that we're friends. Nothing will. Got it memorized, Xion?
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 277: True Agenda=====
Axel and Roxas are up to something. No plot they concoct will change the fact
that the Organization has cast off Xion, though. Our plans have split,
diverged, and advance now to the next stage. The No. i project and Replica
program merely paved the way. Our true goals lie elsewhere.
Report Author: Saïx
=====Day 297: Contact with Riku=====
The man they're calling the imposter, that fake Organization member? It's Riku.
Roxas could very well remember that, somewhere deep in his memories. Still,
it's too soon to report this. I need to know why Xion was with him first.If
she's siding with the hero, it could easily mean her erasure. What are you
planning to do, Xion?
Report Author: Axel
[Note: I'd wondered if Axel realized who it was -- even with the coat on and severely older, Axel can tell it's Riku, even though he only really met his replica. Hm.]
=====Day 298: Change of Plans=====
Axel failed to report that the imposter and Xion are working together.
Instead, that news came from Roxas. The boy is far more easily handled than
Axel, but now Axel has captured Xion and returned her to us. His motives are
impossible to read. Our plans can be altered if necessary, but doing so can
only delay their realization.
Report Author: Saïx
[Note: Oh yeah handle me baby. ... In bed. ... YOU ALL THOUGHT IT SHUT UP]
=====Day 299: The Value of a Lie=====
Roxas doesn't trust me after the whole Xion incident, but I can't tell him the
truth yet. So I keep lying. It's no big deal when you're a Nobody. There's no
guilt, no feeling at all. So why does it still sting, just a little, when I
lie to him? All my dealings with Roxas give me this bizzare illusion of
humanity.
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 300: Us and the Sunset=====
We Watched the sun set today. The three of us. I didn't think we'd ever be
able to do that again. It's like that dream I had - the one where I was by the
shore with Roxas and Axel, watching the sun set over the water. I just want to
stay with them. But how? What should I do?
Report Author: Xion
[Note: Yes I do realize most of the Xion reports only mention Axel, but gosh darn I love the Axel+Xion friendship. Also proving to Marie that Axel is not an afterthought you meanie.]
=====Day 301: Xion or Roxas?=====
Xion is burning through missions at full tilt. She seems frantic. Why, I don't
know. And speaking of, I still don't know what to say to Roxas. Even without
my orders from Saïx, I'd do anything to stop Roxas from being erased. I just
don't know if I can stand by and let that happen to Xion, either.
Report Author: Axel
[Note: Axel always had a Roxas bias, guys. The yaoi fans can stop crying now.]
=====Day 321: My Place=====
Axel's always helped me out, so I just assumed he would again. How long has he
known about me? Maybe since long before we met in Castle Oblivion. But he told
me to think for myself. I was so happy. But now, as I get stronger, Roxas
keeps getting weaker.
I shouldn't exist anymore. They say that Nobodies were never meant to exist,
but I'm the real affront. But before I'm gone, I want to help Roxas and Axel.
Even just a little. I think the boy I saw today is the same Sora from my
memories.
Report Author: Xion
[Note: YEAH HOW IS YOU DYING ANY HELP AT ALL. AT ALL.]
=====Day 352: What I Must Do=====
Riku gave me this time. Axel told me to spend it thinking for myself. The
organization is determined to erase either me or Roxas. They'll never allow us
to coexist. I love Roxas and Axel. I'm sure Saïx would scoff at that. Call it
a trick of my artificial memories. But the time I spent on that clock tower
were real.
I wish the three of us could stay together, just like this, forever.
But I have to end this. I'll never forget today's sunset. Even if Roxas and
Axel do, I won't forget.
Report Author: Xion
[Note: I am keeping this for posterity because she says "I love Roxas and Axel" in it and I ship the OT3. Pairing biases 101!!!]
=====Day 353: A Future That Never Was=====
I couldn't tell Xion she was wrong, and I can't bring myself to end her. But
it's either that, or I have to erase Roxas. There's no future where the three
of us can sit around and eat ice cream. I know Roxas will never understand. I
don't want to acknowledge it myself.
Report Author: Axel
=====Day 356: Unforeseen Events=====
Our plans never accounted for the possibility of both Xion and Roxas leaving.
How did this come to pass? When did Roxas grow strong enough to outmuscle me?
What were you really after, Lea? We joined the Organization at the same time,
and formulated our plan. At this point, it's just an idle fantasy. Everything
changed. You, and me.
Report Author: Saïx
[Note: At this point in time, EVEN SAÏX IS DEPRESSING MAN YOU GUYS]
=====Day 357: To My Best Friend=====
Roxas left. It's so like him to just leave that WINNER ice cream stick behind.
Come tomorrow, I'll probably get the order to hunt him down, but leaving that
here makes it feel so permanent. I wish the three of us - three? No. That the
two of us could share some ice cream again someday. That's what it is to be
friends.
