I don't know what happened when I first uploaded this, but somehow only part of the chapter came up. I've fixed it, and I've change the summary, too.


Axel walked through the lab toward a cylindrical tank containing a young woman wearing a black bikini. Her pale skin was covered in black lines and shapes, and her black and white hair flowed gently in the fluid behind her. The tank had been made before the witch, Naminé, had ever appeared in The World That Never Was, so it had a breathing apparatus for the young female, unlike the witch's flower-like tanks. "Hello, Sweetheart," Axel said. A smile seemed to flicker across the sleeping woman's face. Then her head tilted to the side, and she seemed to be asking a question. "Oh, yeah, uh," Axel said, running his fingers through his spiky, red hair.

"See, that's what I came to tell you. Roxas…he…he left to find out…why the Keyblade…chose him…"

The young woman pursed her black lips around the breathing apparatus like she was trying to say "Oh". "Now, I can't stay. Boss says I gotta go find Roxas. See ya later, Sugar," Axel said. The woman seemed to nod, and Axel turned and left the room. A tear rolled down the woman's cheek and floated through the fluid in the tank.

Roxas…friend…be safe…


The woman bit through the breathing apparatus.

"Well, that's what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. Know what I mean? Not that Nobodies actually HAVE beings…right?"

Axel looked up at the other. He looked so much like Roxas. "Anyway, I digress. Go…find Kairi," he told the other. "Oh, right. Almost forgot…sorry for what I did to her." "When we find her, you can tell her that yourself," said the other. Is his name Sora?

"Think I'll pass. My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one. Ha, ha."

"Axel, what were you trying to do?" Sora asked. "I wanted to see Roxas," Axel explained. I want to see Roxas, too. Sora seemed surprised at that. "He…was the only I liked…" Axel continued. Please, Axel! Don't go!

"He made me feel…like I had a heart. It's kind of…funny. You make me feel…the same…Kairi's in the castle dungeon. Now go."

I felt the last of his energy pour into that portal. "Axel…" Sora said, but Axel was already fading away…

The woman's eyes flew open, revealing yellow irises. She screamed, sending the piece of the breathing apparatus that had been sitting on her tongue flying against the glass of the tank. Tears ran down her face and rolled through the fluid in the tank like bubbles. Finally the tank shattered, sending its contents spilling across the floor. The woman awkwardly got to her feet, using many muscles for the first time. She stood panting, her chest heaving.

"Ah-ah-acts-ul…R-r-rocks-sis…"
