So, I know I know I know! To many creations I am crazy and whatever. Also, its been a while since I played kh 2 so apologizes for any errors.

A groan escaped his mouth as he awoke blinking a few moments before sitting up. His body aches in pain like it had been tossed around and pushed to its limits. "Where am I?"
He paused as he noticed he was back in Hollow Bastion at least that's what he got from the look of things. Why was he here? What happened with his voice? Where was everybody? "Donald?" No response from the Court Mage. "Goofy?" No sight of the Knight Captain. "Kairi, Axel?"
Sora blinked wondering who Axel was. No sooner as that happened did he corrected himself remembering that Axel was his friend. 'Wait when did that…'
He gripped his head as a flood of memories hit him. After he released his heart to free Kairi's he ended up as a Heartless and left something behind waking up with no memories in Twilight Town and found by Xemnas. The Heartless was brought back by Kairi and the Nobody lived with the Organization. The flood continued showing them each doing their own thing. Heartless him taking out Ansem then following Plato with a blur. No, like a painful jolt the blur gave way he had been to a castle had his memories manipulated and was supposed to be asleep.
His other self worked at the Organization. Until something changed that but he couldn't remember what. All he wanted was to make them pay and before he could Riku stood in his way and became Ansem again! 'What the…'
Finally, the last bits of memories hit. The Organization stormed him in this virtual world. After which they managed to kill him while his other part. "I… wait am I dead?!"
Nope, he wasn't dead. By all rights he should be dead as both parts of himself were killed but by then should the Nobody fade away into nothing? Placing a hand over his chest he felt his heart. His heart was here and by the looks of his outfit, the one he last wore as his Nobody with his Crown charm added, his other part was here. "So I'm my somebody again?!"
It took him a few moments to actually realize what had happened. A sense of confusion both on how this had happened, why this had happened, and furthermore what a Nobody even was while also knowing the answer washed over him. After letting all of it fit into place he started to get a clearer picture of what was happening if only because his mind was putting the pieces together.
'So am I Sora, or Roxas, or am I both?' His head was starting to hurt from all of this and right now he had a lot more on his plate then figuring out his identity. For one Donald and Goofy were not with him, the Organization was going to be breathing down his neck when they realized that he wasn't gone, Riku was possessed by Ansem, speaking of which he wanted to hurt him for imprisoning him in a data world, and finally he had to set Kingdom Hearts free. Figuring out who he was could wait another time!
Appearing in front him in puffs of Darkness several Heartless decided to make themselves know. At least he had something to take his mind off his existence right now. In both of his hands flashed a Kingdom Key.
It happened so fast that Riku couldn't believe it. The Organization had attacked the mansion and at first, it looked like they were after Roxas, then it seemed that they were after Namine. How wrong were they on both accounts. They were not here to get any of them.
He was standing in front of the broken pod that Sora had been sleeping in. Anger welled up inside him. Riku was mad at the Organization for taking his friend, at Diz for using him as a means for revenge, and finally at himself for letting this happen. "It's pointless now the Organization it seems has…"
Before Diz could even finish he was punched straight in the jaw by Riku knocking him down. His friend had just died and all he could still think about was his revenge. Silence filled the room as Riku looked down at the man. "Sora is gone and all you care about is your revenge," Riku looked over at Namine who was standing in the corner. "Let's go Namine."
Diz pulled himself back up as he watched Riku move over to the blonde Nobody. "Why are you taking that thing with you?" Diz glared at her. "She doesn't feel anything about the passing of your friend and you know that!"
Riku looked at him and then at Namine. Nobodies had no hearts and Namine being a Nobody should be able to feel. Even she agreed with Diz on that. "At least she can pretend she gives a damn," The cloaked covered young man turned his head gaze over to Diz. "You don't have that excuse."
The man looked at them as they both left the room. Clenching his fists Diz slammed them into the floor in anger. 'That child how could he…' Taking one last look at the pod he felt his anger subside as he finally started to realize what had happened. In his blind quest for revenge, someone had died. '... What have I done?'
How far had he fallen from who he once was? Picking himself back up he looked at the pod before removing the wrapping over his face. "It seems I made more regrets."
The light of the artificial Kingdom Hearts hanged over the World That Never Was. Xemnas looked on at the creation as he waited to hear the news of what had happened. He didn't turn as he felt the presence of Saix walk up to him. "Has it been done?"
"Roxas and Sora have both been disposed of as you ordered," If Xemnas had a heart he would have gotten satisfaction at hearing this. Saix continued to stand behind him as his eyes turned to the floating heart-shaped moon. "If I may ask Superior how are we to complete Kingdom Hearts without either of them?"
Of course, that would be what he asked. Even though that on some Saix knew it wasn't needed anymore Xemnas knew that they will all be asking him this. "Fret not for the Keyblade's Chosen are a lot more common than just Sora and Roxas," Xemnas knew personally of at least five more wielders out there. One less than what he had hoped by now. "Gather the others and I will explain the situation to them."
As soon as Saix was out of sight Xemnas returned to looking at Kingdom Hearts. From behind him, a figure arose, the last parting gift of his brother. The Guardian looked at him its mindless expression betraying the tormented heart underneath it all. "Go to the Realm of Darkness and locate her."
The Heartless obeyed without much thought. Xemnas continued to stare up at the creation. He hadn't told anyone in the Organization about the reason he had them both Roxas and Sora eliminated, except of course for Xigbar. 'When a Heartless and a Nobody are destroyed the person they once were are reborn,' His experiments into the heart had allowed him to remember this fact. A fact that one of his previous self had learned. 'Sora for all appearances was a Heartless purified by the light of his princess, while Roxas his Nobody has developed independently of him.'
It was almost fascinating to watch as the two diverged before his eyes. Yet, he had been counting on this. Furthermore, in the brief moments that he had been with him, Xemnas knew that he was the reason for his appearance. His heart had been within Sora and perhaps even inside of Roxas. This was done in order to release it and find the empty shell that had been hidden. It didn't help that the returned being would be filled with rage against him and conflict in their memories. Hopefully, it will speed things up nicely for their final role.
"My role is soon to come to an end as my Organization has failed but in its place, I will ensure the Real Organization will succeed," Xemnas looked to his side as another figure wearing the same black coat walked up to him. The figure looked on at the artificial Kingdom Hearts as a single strand of silver hair peeked from under it. "Tell me did you figure out who she had bequeathed the Keyblade too?"
Unknown to the both of them Xigbar at was overhearing the conversation. A smirk formed on his face born of genuine emotion from the heart he always had. 'That's right play your part.'
Namine walked out of the Old Mansion following Riku close behind. He stopped and turned to her. Riku knew whose Nobody Namine was and while he had thought about it he didn't have any reason to until now to act on it. "If you want I can take you to Kairi so you both can be whole."
She looked at him surprised that he had figured it out. She looked down wondering if she should even go to her. If she did then Kairi was sure to remember everything that had happened to Sora. "You know if I do then she would learn that Sora…"
"I know," Riku clenched his fists before letting go of his anger. Sora wouldn't have wanted him to feel like this. He could hear Ansem almost taunting him from beyond the grave, assuming he wasn't already, for the loss of his friend. "She has a right to know though and you shouldn't have to endure being incomplete either."
Perhaps, Riku was right. Looking back at the mansion a question arose. "What about Donald and Goofy?"
"I set the computers to wake them up they should already to up and about wondering where Sora is," When he was done with dropping of Namine he had to get in contact with the King to pick them up. He noticed Namine's eyes open in surprise. "What is it?"
The blonde-haired Nobody looked at him. For a brief moment, she felt it with her powers. It felt like both of them. Even though she knew they had both perished this was too real to ignore. "Riku, I felt them, Roxas, Sora somehow they are united and they're alive."
He couldn't believe it. Before his own eyes, he watched Sora's body fade away into light. 'Wait, he faded away into light,' People don't normally die like that. 'Could it be?' Unconsciously he put a hand on his heart. 'Sora…'
Axel couldn't believe it. Roxas was really gone. Xemnas had ordered his death without even letting him try to bring him back. He stood outside the Castle That Never Was looking on at Kingdom Hearts hanging overhead. Saix has grown distant with him, Roxas had left the Organization, and now he was dead and Xemnas didn't seem to care at all that his project wouldn't be completed.
Something deep within him told him that there was no point in staying here. A Corridor of Darkness was summoned up as Axel moved into it. He appeared on the clock tower. The very place where he and Roxas used to go after every mission. Looking out at the eternal twilight sky a lone tear fell down his cheek.
Within a seemingly endless void, a black coat covered figure stood in the middle of a stain glass floor. They didn't know how they got here but one thing caught their attention. On it was a boy that they recognized, at least they knew the looks but everything surrounding them was unknown to them. "Am I still inside Roxas?" They looked up hoping for an answer as to what was going on.
On the outside, a blond keyblade wielder finally awoke from his long sleep. "Aqua, Terra?"
I have probably pissed of a lot of Kingdom Hearts fans with this single prologue. Oh, well I can take i. Hopefully it's not a flame war in them.
Anyway, I'm actually surprised no ones ever really done this kind of thing. At least to my knowledge so I decided to do it. Also what made this possible was more Kingdom Hearts 3D and the implications that Xemnas and the Original Organization from it. Basically, after Castle Oblivion the whole thing was mostly pointless but succeeded in giving them several vessels for Xehanort's heart. Xemnas was aware of how Nobodies worked and mixing this with a little fan theory of mine about Sora after releasing his heart and before Roxas rejoined this came about.
I can't wait to hear how everyone thinks about this especially post KH3. I regret everything and nothing!
Cya all next time. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.
