Summary-During Demyx's battle with Sora the Keyblade is broken, releasing Demyx's heart from its long imprisonment.

Note-For the benefit of my story Zexion is still alive. This story will be a Zemyx and an AxelRoxas.

The Sorcerer Myde

Chapter One

Shattered Keyblade

Hollow Bastion

It was a suicide mission. There was no way he could survive against the Keyblade Master and his two allies but he had a job to do. He already failed at the Coliseum by losing to Sora. But this time would be different.

Demyx stared down his opponent, desperate to feel any sort of hope that he would live to see another day. They boy was strong and fearless as long as he had his friends and that blade. Demyx wouldn't let his fear show. Instead he put up a sarcastic front, taunting the kid into a fight.

The Heartless and Nobodies were swarming across the Great Maw as they stood there. In wouldn't be long now. The Restoration Committee were already in the thick of the battle. That wizard Merlin was around somewhere and Saix was off looking for Axel.

The blond Nobody hoped his red haired friend was safe. Axel was a good fighter and an asset to the Organization but when it came to Roxas he was a one man army on a mission.

In some ways Demyx could understand why Axel wanted to get Roxas back so badly. The blond considered himself to be one of Zexion's friends and if the slate haired Schemer ever vanished like Roxas...Demyx didn't want to think about it. Demyx had no desire to battle Axel. He liked the red head even though Axel loved playing his pranks on the mullet haired musician. He sighed as he turned away from the Keyblade Master.

"I knew they sent the wrong guy for this job." Demyx muttered. At the moment he had his back turned to Sora, Donald and Goofy while he thought up a plan to make it out of this fight alive.

"Who are you anyway?" Sora demanded. The kid wasn't threatened by Demyx. Honestly, who fought people using a sitar and water?

"What's a guy like him doing in Organization XIII?" Donald mused.

"He can't fight all that good." Goofy shrugged.

"You were the guy in the Underworld? What are you doing here?" Sora crossed his arms.

"Silence traitor!" Demyx yelled as he turned back to face the Keyblade Master. This kid was still Roxas underneath it all.

"Bring it on!" Sora challenged.

"Dane, water, dance!" Demyx chanted.

Demyx summoned up his sitar. His fingers roamed over the strings, his eyes remained fixed on Sora, Donald and Goody as he called up his water clones. The clones danced around Demyx while most of them moved behind Sora and his allies.

Demyx played the tunes effortlessly just like he had in the Underworld. Sora grabbed hold of one of the clones and started spinning it around by the wrist. It reminded Demyx of a morbid dance. Donald cast Thundara on the clones and Goofy used his shield to defend himself.

Demyx inwardly cursed when Sora defeated all the water clones. Using his left hand he started throwing balls of water towards the Keyblade Master. Sora deflected them using the blade. Demyx leapt into the air, creating a bubble of water to protect his body from harm.

The duck cast Thundara a few times to get rid of the bubble. Demyx swung his sitar to create pillars of water that slammed directly into Sora, Donald and Goofy.

"Dance, water, dance!" Demyx summoned up more water clones.

"Donald!" Sora tossed a Potion towards the duck when a few clones got in a few hits.

"Give up already!" Sora yelled to the mullet haired Nobody.

"Why would I take orders from a traitor?" Demyx snapped.

"I don't even know you!" Sora yelled.

"Look out Sora." Goofy threw his shield as if it were a Frisbee. He took out at least four water clones.

Sora grabbed hold of the nearest clone and performed the same dance technique to dispose of the water clones. Demyx knew he was losing the battle, he knew it before the fight even began. He wasn't a fighter, he was a pathetic warrior and he preferred swimmer in Atlantica compared to this.

Demyx felt his strength draining from his body but he quickly staggered away from Sora. He had to get out of this alive, he wanted to continue existing, even as a Nobody. He wanted to see Zexion again.

Who was he kidding anyway? Zexion only really tolerated his presence around castle Oblivion. The Cloaked Schemer usually wore a scowl on his face, his one visible dark eye glaring at the Melodious Nocturne every time Demyx tried to make conversation.

Demyx was the weak link in their chain and he knew it. He couldn't fight and here he was, about to meet his maker at the end of a Keyblade. He would just fade away, into nothingness, a fleeting memory that would eventually be forgotten. And he was terrified.

"I...won't lose..." Demyx fell to his knees when Sora delivered a hard blow to his back.

"It's over." Sora declared.

"Just give up already." Donald stated.

"No..." Demyx groaned in pain. He looked up at Sora then made a move to start making more water clones.

Sora saw what the blond Nobody was up to. Moving quickly he brought up the Keyblade to attack Demyx. The Melodious Nocturne felt his eyes widen as the Keyblade came towards him. He didn't get to finish his chant when Sora brought the blade down onto the blond man before him. As soon as it connected with Demyx's head something happened that stopped time itself. A bright flash of light momentarily blinded the four and then there was the sound of something breaking. The Keyblade had broken in two.

"What? No, no it can't be!" Sora cried when he saw the two broken pieces in his hands.

"The Keyblade...it's been broken." Donald cried.

"That's impossible." Goofy examined the pieces. "How could this have happened?"

"Thus can't be happening." Sora cried desperately as he clutched the broken shards. "Has this ever happened before?"

"We have to tell Merlin and Leon." Sora said. He was beginning to have a panic attack.

"Maybe Merlin can fix it." Goofy suggested.

"He can't." A soft whisper spoke up. "No one can fix it yet."

"What do you mean?" Goofy asked.

"It was him!" Donald yelled and he pointed towards the now silent Nobody.

"What did you do?" Sora cried. This couldn't be happening. The Keyblade was supposed to be indestructible. The only means of saving the worlds had been destroyed.

"I...remember..." Demyx whispered.

"Sora, we better get moving before more Dusks show up." Goofy said.

"What did you do?" Donald ran towards the blond, his staff in hand.

"I...hid it...in there." Demyx looked like he was in shock. His skin had gone pasty white and he was shaking.

"What are you talking about? What did you hide?" Sora asked. Sea green eyes caught sapphire ones and a smile graced Demyx's face.

"My heart."

A bright light exploded from the broken pieces of the Keyblade. Sora fell backwards, his fingers dropping the shards as he protected his eyes from the harsh glare. He heard Donald and Goofy yell in surprise. Then another sound caught his attention. It was soft, a melodic sound that made him think of a person being truly happy. Sora's blue eyes caught sight of Demyx kneeling on the ground, his arms outstretched and a beautiful smile on his face. The Nobody looked so happy.

"What's going on?" Donald yelled out.

"There's something coming out of the Keyblade!" Goofy pointed to a red glow that was floating just above the broken blade.

"What is that?" Sora whispered. He was back on his feet and his eyes never left the red glowing object.

"What did he mean by his heart being hidden in the Keyblade?" Donald looked up at Sora.

"Look." Sora pointed to the red glow.

The object was becoming more clear, more recognizable and Sora felt his own heart stop. There, suspended in red light and rotating slowly, was a heart. It looked like a ruby, clear cut and flawless. Demyx's eyes never left the heart and his hands were still outstretched from his body.

The heart just floated there, suspended in time while breath was held and a memory long ago erased came back. Demyx remembered this but he hadn't been the one to cast the spell. It had been Myde.

When the Keyblade broke in two Demyx was assaulted with memories, feelings and images of a time long ago when he still had a heart. He remembered living in Radiant Garden, learning spells and ways to control his magic. How could he have forgotten?

Was the amnesia a side effect of the spell to preserve his heart? Demyx couldn't take his eyes off the heart that belonged to him. After so long he could become whole again. He had found his heart just like he told Zexion he would.

"It worked." Demyx sobbed with happiness. "All these years...it worked."

"What the hell is going on?" Sora was at his wit's end. First the Keyblade had been broken then a heart emerged from the pieces. Looking up he saw that the heart rose into the air only to vanish in a flash of red light.

"It worked..." Demyx sighed moments before he passed out.

Merlin's House

Hollow Bastion

Leon pinched the bridge of his nose to ward off the headache that was coming on. This day just couldn't get any worse. First the Great Maw filled with Nobodies and Heartless, leaving Leon, Cloud and the others to clean up. Then Sora arrives with an unconscious member of Organization XIII claiming the man broke the Keyblade and a captive heart was released because of it. Hollow Bastion was once again settled down somewhat so that left the problem of a broken Keyblade.

The Organization member had been placed on Merlin's bed even though Leon was tempted to toss him into a jail cell. Aerith was already casting Cure spells on the blond while Yuffie demanded to know why Aerith was wasting good magic on a Nobody. Merlin had taken Sora aside with the broken Keyblade to try and fix it using Restoration magic. Nothing had worked so far.

"So now what do we do?" Yuffie asked. Merlin was stroking his beard as he thought while Sora paced the room.

"He must know what's going on," Leon motioned to the sleeping blond on the bed. "When he wakes up we'll ask him."

"But what if he summons one of those portals?" Goofy asked.

"No need to worry about that. I've set up binding wards around the bed. He won't be able to escape." Merlin replied.

"Do you believe him Sora? About his heart being in the blade?" Aerith asked the teenager.

"You should have seen his face Aerith." Sora sighed."He looked so happy."

"The town's gone quiet again." Cid announced as he finished hitting the keyboard to the computer.

"Cloud and I will check out Crystal Fissure again. I don't want anything slipping in through the back door." Leon grunted.

"Sora, can you just use the second Keyblade, like when you use Valor Form?" Donald asked.

"But it only works if I have that Keyblade." Sora motioned to the broken pieces.

"I suppose we shall just have to ask this young man." Merlin turned back to the sleeping Nobody.

"Where's Cloud anyway?" Yuffie asked Leon.

"Probably out looking for Sephiroth again." The brunet shrugged.

"Our guest is awake." Aerith announced. The blond moaned as he opened his eyes. One hand was on his forehead while he stretched his body.

"I'll talk to him." Sora said firmly. Sora approached the awakening blond steadily. When sea green eyes fixed on his face Sora offered a shy smile.

"Hey…" he only got that far because the blond Nobody started to scream.
