A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a frog to carry him on his back across a river.

"Are you mad?" exclaimed the frog. "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I'll drown."

"My dear frog," laughed the scorpion, "If I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?"

"You're right!" cried the frog, satisfied at this answer. "Hop on!"

The scorpion climed aboard and halfway across the river, stung the frog. As they both sank to the bottom, the frog resignedly said, "Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me. Now we'll both die. Why did you do it?"

"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion said sadly. "I can't help it. It's my nature."

What, no lengthy speech to accompany your story?
You missed an opportunity to cement the performance.
Though I doubt the scorpion's 'sad' admission translates here.
I can't say I'm surprised that you choose to dismiss my advice and dance around the matter.
I'd say disappointed but I don't know if that would really suit the situation.
You might be aware that there happens to be a fair number of people from our realm here.
Just in case you weren't, you should keep that in mind.
Your favorite pair of keyblade wielders happen to be on top of that list.
I'll say it again to stress how important it is.
This world is a second chance for nobodies.
Think very carefully before you waste what may be the only opportunity to reclaim your life as a human you'll get.

It seems you do not know me as well as you claim. A pity. I will explain to you what the parable means when I find you, and I will make certain you remember it.

Dropping the subtle approach and moving directly to threats?
You might be clever, but consider the following.
Are you aware of exactly how many people inhabit this world?
How many from our world?
Certainly, I never made that any kind of secret at all.
But if you believe you have my identity pegged I really think you should reconsider your judgement.
More-over.
Are you aware of how long the keyblade wielders have been here?
Where along the timeline of our realm they came here from?
Have you taken a moment to consider how many friends they might have made in that span?
How many friends from our world?
How much they might have been willing to share about the organization?
About you?
Consider for a moment that your judgement on my identity may not be as sound as you think.
Unless, of course, you have a perfect memory of every potential person from the entire realm of light that might have come to this world.
I find that to be unlikely.
Very, very unlikely.
By all means though.
Continue to be as confident in whatever assumptions of my identity you feel you have.
I have to warn you, though, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Did you know there was only two people in the entirety of the Organization, from Dusk to myself, who would consider using others as their primary vehicle of threat? Only two who were so uncertain or incapable so as to require hiding behind another's skill.

Vexen however, would not be so foolish. So cowardice and ignorance is required.

I will leave you with this, my dear friend, and will address nothing more until I find you.

Do you know how much I can accomplish with a simple crowbar?

Only two?
I wonder if you give your pawns less credit than they deserve.
Not as many people are as underhanded as you, certainly.
But I have been reliably informed that your estimation falls short.
I'd be amused by exactly how far if I didn't know what you are trying to do.
I've said my piece here, though, so rather than continue to try to reason with you I'll just give you what you want.
No use in wasting time, after all.
However, I will say one thing before I go.
I don't know how you feel about gambling, but I have a very good feeling that the odds are in my favor here.
The odds, and our comparative strength, resources, and capabilities that is.
Best of luck, though.

[As he'd said, Xemnas' previous response was the last he'd provide. That is until they meet in person. Surely this can't end badly for our anonymous hero, he has the backup of lots of allies and strong pokemon. There's nothing to fear.

Right?

... Right?]
