The stars were shining down as Mika dodged Riku's keyblade. She had her staff in her hands. Her outfit had changed. She had a blue sleeveless shirt on that had a hood. She had open sleeves from the elbows down that is white along with black shorts with a white belt that had a blue cloth behind her. She sent a dual flame and ice attack.

Riku had to put his keyblade in front of him to block the attack. He noticed that her magic did get stronger. He was happy about that. He made his keyblade disappear and placed his hands up in the air. "You've gotten a lot better Mika." He smiled a bit.

"So I pass the test?" She asked hopeful.

"You do." Yen Sid spoke proudly. "Come both of you." He walked back into his tower. King Mickey was standing in the doorway. He followed Yen Sid and Riku and Mika followed in behind them. They arrived back into Yen SId's study. Mika stood next to Riku in front of the desk. Yen Sid sat down. "Thank you Master Riku for connecting the test. Mika, you passed, there is not much else I can teach you. I finished analyzing part data Ansem had left behind. The data code he left behind is vastly important and I am saddened to say that I cannot analyze all of it. Chip and Dale are working on this. Mika, take the code to Radiant Garden so his apprentices can study it." He held out a small device.

Mika nodded her head. "Of course." Taking the device.

Yen Sid then looked over at Riku and King Mickey. "Riku. Mickey. You both have recovered enough to dive into the dark realm. Aqua is waiting for you."

Riku and Mika walked back down the stairs of the tower. Mika looked at Riku. "I'll see you later then." She spoke not really sure how to feel about not being able to see him like she once did. They still had to prepare for the war after all.

Riku nodded his head and gave her a kiss. "We'll be back before we know it."

Mika held up a star shard. She learned that it was part of a gummi block that will allow her to travel. All she had to do was let her heart be her guiding key.

She arrived in the town center of Radiant Garden. She smiled that the flowers were back. This was the home that she remembered. She located the stairs to the castle. She smiled once more. Her home was fixed. She walked up the steps just glad that things do seem like everything was back normal.

"Mika?" Both Dilan and Aeleus spoke surprised to see her. "Why are you here? Thought that you were learning new skills."

Mika shrugged. "Well I learned all I could. Right now I'm wondering if everyone can help me." She took out the device. "On here is Ansem's code that he hid inside Sora. I don't quite remember the research that you guys did before but I know everyone here is smart and if anyone can decode it…"

Ienzo walked up hearing Mika's voice. "Ansem's code?" He asked. "Welcome home Mika."

She couldn't help but give Ienzo a quick hug. She then handed the device to him. "We don't know what he placed inside it but it has to be important. I don't know what it will mean to the big upcoming battle."

Ienzo touched the screen and it turned on. He found many folders and programs. Then it started to make noise. He quickly clicked the green button that showed up.

"You answered!" On the screen was two chipmunks. "I'm Chip!"

"And Dale!"

Mika moved closer so she can see them. She wondered how this worked.

The chipmunks looked at Ienzo. "This is a gummi phone. We created it! We are gonna help crack the code!"

Aeleus took this chance to get Mika's attention. He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Mika we need to talk."

"What about?" She walked away from the phone's earshot. Both Aeleus and Dilan walked with her.

"Even disappeared."

Mika took a step back. "He disappeared? How is that possible? Didn't he leave the darkness behind?"

Dilan shook his head. "We left to find out but we didn't find anything. Perhaps while you are looking for Xigbar you'll find him."

She nodded her head. "For sure I'll be on the lookout. Did he leave on his own?"

Ienzo walked to the group his video chat has ended. "We aren't to sure on that either. I'll be sure to tell Sora to look out as well."

"Through that gummi phone?" Mika had to ask.

He nodded his head.

"I should look for clues while I'm here."

"There isn't any." Aeleus spoke with some regret in his voice. "We looked into that as well."

Mika rubber her head thinking what all she could do. "No clues… and he just left without saying anything. Was he kidnapped? Or did he leave on his own?"

Ienzo shook his head. "I don't think he was kidnapped. There wasn't a sign of a struggle. He left on his own. I'm going to transfer the data on this gummi phone to the computer. Mika will you join me?"

"Sure." They walked down to the lab where Ienzo unlocked the computer.

He looked down at the screen and saw some of the encryption while it downloaded. "He would encrypt this. Mika I have you ask you something."

"And what would that be?" She asked leaning against the wall.

"Xigbar. He is willingly with Xehanort. Do you think you can even bring him home?"

"I gotta try. He's been a big part of my family. He wants a keyblade so badly." She sighed. "I just hope everything will work out. I'm so nervous for this fight. Maybe I can get him to come home before then. And now I'll have to locate Even."

Mika stretched walking into the computer room yawning a bit. She was sore after sparring with Dilan and Aeleus. Though she did had fun. She needed to check on the progress though as Ienzo was putting in a lot of hours.

"Ienzo." She had ice cream in her mouth and had one for him as well. She then noticed that he was on the phone as he started to talk.

"The data has been encrypted. So we only been able to decipher some of it." Ienzo spoke.

"Huh?" She heard Sora's voice.

Mika walked closer. "Hey Sora!" She smiled.

"Mika? Who is this guy?" Sora had to ask her.

She laughed a little.

"Oh…" Ienzo started seeing that Sora didn't remember anything. "It seems we haven't spoken since the castle. I'm Ienzo. Aeleus is here too."

Aeleus walked in the room from the computer server room. He looked at the phone a little awkwardly.

Ienzo caught on. "Aeleus, whatever happened between you and Roxas, it's in the past."

Aeleus walked on out of the lab.

Ienzo sighed.

"Something happened between him and Roxas?" Mika asked. "Roxas never told me…"

Ienzo turned his attention back at Sora. "Sora, the reason we are here is because you and your friends defeated our nobodies thereby recompleted us. We cast our hearts off by choice make no mistake."

"I didn't! And as the last one on that day I thought everyone else didn't have a choice." Mika spoke. "We were children Ienzo…"

Ienzo looked at her. "And I thought you cast off your heart willingly." He looked back at Sora. "But we didn't know that Xemnas - or rather, Xehanort - was deceiving us."

"Huh? Xemnas?" Sora asked.

"Aw, he's with them!" Goofy yelled of the screen.

"Not anymore." Ienzo started to explain. "Xemnas and Xehanort have no hold over us now. We are students of the heart, exactly the same as we were before all of this began."

"Yeah right." Donald spoke. They heard him stomp his foot of camera.

"Mmm." Goofy started. "But you know, now that I think about it, Axel and Kixma's on our side now."

"Aww." Donald still sounded a little angry.

Mika shook her head and looked at Ienzo. They both knew that this wasn't going to go over easy as they were once enemies.

Ienzo took over as it was his role that they weren't happy about. "We have friends we want to bring back to this world. To do that we have to work together. In that spirit, Sora… we have found some intriguing data in the bit of data we deciphered."

"Is it about me?" Sora asked.

"Yes. In order to piece your memories together, our teacher, Ansem the Wise, took a close look at your heart. And what he found is that your heart doesn't belong to just you."

"It doesn't?" Donald and Goofy yelled surprised to hear that information.

Sora didn't have much of a reaction. Goofy picked up on that. "Gosh, you don't seem surprised."

"Yeah. Honestly, I expected as much. There is another heart inside mine. I think it's Roxas's. Just like Naminé is inside Kairi's."

"Interesting..." Ienzo thought. "Well know one knows your heart better than you." He started to tap his finger against the desk. "To be honest, we have a plethora of questions on our side but...the idea has merit. It's incredible enough that you and your Nobody was able to coexist. If you share a heart… no wonder that someone as remarkable as you got Ansem the Wise's eye. We'll keep investigating based on your hypothesis. I'll be in touch."

"Bye guys." Mika spoke.

"Okeydokey, we will give you fellas a ring if there's anything else." Dale spoke. "Remember, me and Chip, the guys at Radiant Garden, and King Mickey and everybody are never far away."

Ienzo hang up the phone.

Mika looked at Ienzo. "Uh I should warn you. Sora is a lot like Roxas and how to explain things too. Kid like fingers."

Ienzo sighed. "Alright…"

"Did you want your ice cream now? It is time for a break I think. Even a quick 10 minute one. What do you say?"

He nodded his head. "I can use a break. How much longer until you leave anyways?"

"I'm not sure. I know I need to look for Even and start again searching for Xiggy. But I don't even know when to begin looking for Even at and Xiggy is working with Xehanort willingly. I don't know if he knew from the start what the plan was or if learned of it on the way."

"I know more that he was close to you but Mika," Ienzo took a bite out of his ice cream. "You have to consider that he used you as well."

Mika looked down unsure how to feel. She brought her hand up to her chest. "He used me?" She shook her head not wanting to feel the pain within her. "Xiggy used me?" Her voice started to crack.

"Mika…" Ienzo reaches out knowing that she was hurt at the idea. "We don't have much faith that he will want to return based on what your brother has told us before he started his own training."

"It's okay." She muttered. "I get it. He can't be trusted…" she put the rest of her ice cream in the trash. "You can get back to work. I'll check in a bit later." She walked out of the lab. Aeleus and Dilan were there. For some reason it surprised her as at least one of them should be guarding the door. No doubt they heard what happened.

"Mika…" Aeleus started.

"Am I a fool?" She asked.

"No. We just want to protect you."

Dilan looked away. His pride was holding him back some. "I admit that they have played us. It's time you do the same."

Mika walked past them feeling the need to be alone. Even the most prideful people she knew admitted that they were used by Xigbar. She didn't want to believe that she was used as well.
