The Desert of the Real.

"Where...am I?" he asked. A young boy sat up and was met by a
sinister headache. He clapped his hand over his forehead to ease the
pain but to no avail. He looked up at the unfamiliar sky. The clouds
were somewhat dark and abit eerie. He noticed that everything around him
had a soft green color to it. The concrete he rested upon as well as
everything else around him. He took in his surroundings and noticed the
playground he laid in.

"Don't worry Roxas there's nothing wrong with your eyes this place
always looks like this." Said a voice not to far away. Roxas leapt to
his feet and slowly approached the elderly woman who just spoke.

"Who-?"

"I am the Oracle of this world Roxas. I know all that has, is, and will
happen here." She said tossing breadcrumbs to a flock of crows at here
feet. Roxas moves closer toward her and takes a seat near the Oracle.

"Here...where's here?" he asked. She smiled softly and turned towards
him.

"This my boy is a world apart from your own. I don't know how to tell
you my boy but somehow you've entered the Matrix. She finished.

"The Matrix?" he asked highly confused.

"Yes. It is the name of this world." She sighed.

"Then what am I doing here? He asked the confusion rising within him.

"Now I don't know anything beyond this place I do know your here to
fight."

"Fight? Fight what?"

"Them." She simply put and with that several dark figures erupted from
thin air. The playground now held about 50 Neo-Shadow Heartless. They
stood and watched but that was all.

"Why aren't they attacking?" Roxas asked jumping outta his seat and
taking more of an battle-ready posture.

"No program to govern them. We'll not yet. Since those things began to
appear so has he." Roxas turned in anger, the riddles were beginning to
annoy him.

"Who's he?" Roxas asked. His question was met with a one-word
reply...

"... Smith"

"I'm glad to see you still remember my name." Said a dark sinister
voice. A man in a black suit stepped from the shadows and presented
himself to both the Oracle and Roxas. "And who do we have here. What's
your name my friend?"

Roxas remained silent and tightened his fists in response. Smith laughed
his retort.

"I may not be able to overwrite myself anymore but who needs that when
the heartless are twice as strong...Kill them both." he said. The
Heartless leapt toward Roxas and in a blink of an eye two large
key shaped swords appeared in Roxas' grip. The Oathkeeper and Oblivion
hummed softly through the air and collided with the nearest heartless.

A blinding light flooded the playground and all were thrown back the
air. When the light dimmed Roxas was able to make out a swaying black
coat dark sunglasses and short black hair. A man had appeared out of
thin air and floated in the air above everyone else. He gently lowered
himself and stared blankly at the combatants until one in particular
caught his eye.

"Smith!" said the man in black. Smith began to grind his teeth with
frustration until every vein on his forehead became visible.

"Mr. Anderson"

"But how?" Neo asked when he noticed the Oracle a few feet away behind
Roxas.

"The Keys of trust and Forgetfulness have strange affects on us all.
The Darkness reawakened Smith. The light however..." she said gesturing
to Roxas. " Has awaken you Neo.

"NO!!" shouted Smith.

"You cannot be here. I am here and you're suppose to be DEAD!!
DEAD!!" Smith shouted trembling with anger.

"But you said it yourself Smith." Neo said. "We're connected you and I.
By purpose we are connected. Your purpose is to destroy. Mine is to
protect. We cannot exist without each other."

"HEARTLESS FINISH THEM!!" bellowed Smith before fading into the
shadows.

Several Heartless leapt into the air. Before Neo could respond, the
Heartless were dispatched by a blur of white, gray, and soft brown.
Roxas stood in front of him with Oblivion in an attract position while
Oathkeeper swung slowly behind him the handle spinning effortlessly in
his left hand.

"The names Roxas" the youth smirked.

"Neo" replied the man in black.

More Heartless began to erupt from the ground.

"Boys, my thoughts will be with you." Said the Oracle as she walked
through the unmarked Corridor of Programs.

Neo dove head first into the nearest fray of Heartless dispatching them
with swift punches or kicks. Roxas joined in as a twirling blade of
Kerblades. Every few seconds a Heartless was turned to nothing. With
every attack the two grew stronger and more proficient in their
efforts.

Roxas soon had an idea. He charged toward Neo. Neo sent the young boy
skyward about 100 or so feet in the air. Somehow at the very zenith of
the heavenly leap Roxas forced the two keyblades together creating a
blade more powerful then both. Neo then launched himself up toward
Roxas. Within a blink of an eye Neo hovered behind his partner. Neo
grabbed Roxas by the collar and hurled him downward as hard as he could
into the ground.

The blast sent every Heartless in the area back to where it came. All of
them were destroyed. Even the playground itself lay in rubble at both
Roxas and Neo's feet.

"What were they?" asked Neo. "Their code was something like I've never
seen before."

"That's because they don't come from this world." Roxas said as he
wiped the sweat from his brow. "And neither am I."

"Another world?" Neo asked turning his gaze toward the clouds. "Like the
Real World?"

"Real World? I don't know anything about which worlds are real a which
aren't but they do exist a lot more. And they're all in trouble."

"Smith?"

"The Suit? No but his little buddies, the Heartless. They've destroyed
countless worlds, and now they're back. I don't know why, but they are.
And I gotta stop it.

"I'd they destroy the Matrix what happens to those who are...apart of
it" asked Neo already knowing the answer himself

"...They go right along with the world. Some might even be turned
into the Heartless others might make it the ones who are strong
spirited, and don't forget there bonds to others." Said Roxas as he
waved both Keyblades in the air, and with a flash of light both swords
were gone.

"But what about those of us in the Real World?" asked Neo.

"You keep talkin about this 'Real World'. What is it?"

"It is what it is Roxas, it's the Real World. The Matrix is just a
computer-generated illusion designed to make humans think they are in
control but are used to power the machines. The Real World is where The
Machines rule and the humans are borderline extinct." Concluded Neo.

"...a world within a world... well if I'm right, first the Matrix will
go then the machines who're tied to that world will be consumed by the
darkness. But the Heartless will soon make it to the humans and then
this entire world will no longer exist."

At those very words a portal ripped through the air and a darkness
emanated from the portal.

"Roxas!!" shouted a familiar voice.

"Namina??" yelled the youth.

"Roxas we have to go" shouted the voice. "There's trouble" the youth
didn't even hesitate he turned towards Neo.

"The Heartless are strong but they can be defeated. I'll be back to help
you clean up this mess. I promise" Roxas shouted as he stepped swiftly
through the Corridor to Darkness. The portal closed leaving Neo alone
attending in the rubble. He then once again turned his eyes toward the
heavens and sighed. He then knelt down and rocketed off into the sky.
