Prologue - Dive into the Heart
She was standing in a grassy field, hair flying all over her face, a man in a black cloak stood in front of her as the clouds overhead came to an ominous darkness.
"No," she whispered, her voice trailing off to a soft echo, she stumbled backwards, tripping on a stone.
His eyes were cast in a shadow as he gave her a smirk.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, she had fallen into a never ending darkness.
Shing!
In her hand a long, oversized key materialized.
She lands on a stained-glass platform, the picture, two boys with smaller pictures of many people surrounding them, one boy with brown hair, the other with gold.
She opens her eyes, shaken all over, thinks, "It was only a dream." Her name is Lily, the sixth keyblade master.
001 – Twilight Town Part One
"Lily!"
She had suddenly awoken from her restless slumber to see four people surrounding her bed.
"Took you forever to wake up, Sleepy Head!" spoke the person closes to her, a girl, Olette.
The boy next to her gave her a warm smile.
"Roxas don't be so nice to her! She's the one who slept for three days straight!" his smile vanished, the two boys next to him, Hayner and Pence, started to laugh.
Her eyes grew large.
"What? I slept for three days straight and nobody thought of waking me?" she screamed.
The two boys and Olette ran out of her room giggling.
"Here let me help you" Roxas and Lily pulled the cover of her bed over and tucked it in.
"Thanks Roxas" she said, voice trailing off as she gazed out the window.
When they all got to the Usual Spot to decide what to do with the remaining summer vacation they have together.
"What are we going to do?" Olette groaned into her hands.
"Don't we still have that report to write?" Lily mumbled which, in turn, was met by a massive amount of groans.
"Sorr-" "It's nothing, but next time tell us earlier so could of figured out what to write" spoke Roxas with a small smile.
"How about mysterious things that are happening around town?" asked Pence with a shrug.
"I want the glowing orbs!" said Olette.
"I want the jumping bag!" claimed Hayner.
"I'll take the tunnel and waterfall" screamed Pence, "Then we'll all go wait for the ghost train."
"That leaves the mansion" he said as he looked to Roxas and Lily.
"We'll go" answered Lily.
As they walked trough the forest they had an awkward silence.
"Have you been having weird dreams lately?" it was Roxas.
Suddenly she looked up and gazed upon his shimmering blue eyes, "Your eyes" she whispered.
When she realized what she was doing, her hand pulled away from his cheek, "Oh- um- I'm sorry" she blushed.
While they walked further on the silence grew even more nerve racking.
"To answer your question, yes, I have been having strange dreams lately. And strangely enough- what's that? ", she said as she pointed up towards a white window.
A girl with blonde hair gazed down on them, "Namine" whispered Roxas.
"Who?" Lily gave him a puzzled look, who was this Namine? For all her life, Lily knew that that mansion has been empty, and now there is this 'Namine' living in it.
"Whatever, we have a report to write and-"before she could finish her sentence five strange looking creatures surrounded them.
"What are these?" gasped Lily to Roxas.
"I don't know" he replied as one disappeared after he hit it with this giant key.
They looked at each other in shock, they both had, as they later learned, Keyblades in their hands.
"Let's go" Roxas said while grabbing her hand and leading her into the mansion.
"Roxas, where are you taking me?" she gasped as they stopped in front of a door.
"You need to know something." He said.
He opened the door to reveal a room that was purely white. Inside was the blonde hair girl, "Hello Roxas" she said with a smile.
"So this is the final Key wielder?" she asked as she walked around Lily.
"Yeah" replied Roxas.
"It is an honor to meet you Lily." said Namine as she turned to her.
"Roxas, how does she know my name, and by the way, what the heck is a 'Key wielder'?" she whispered to him.
Lily looked at Namine with a curiosity in her eyes.
"I need to bring both of you somewhere" she whispered while she looked around as if someone was after her.
The three of them left the room and silently headed toward the library. Suddenly the strange looking creatures appeared in front of them.
"The Dusks!" gasped Namine while she spun around and started to run towards the white room.
"No, Namine!" Lily screamed, but it was too late, darkness bloomed behind her.
"Come." Stated a deep voice, it was a person in a black cloak, hood casting shadow over his eyes.
"It's him" Lily whispered. There was nothing to stop her now. She ran towards him, flames of rage burning in her eyes, keyblade in hand.
"Not now my dear" he said, and with that he stepped into the darkness, Namine in hand.
"First my parents, now Namine, what do they want from me?" screamed Lily as she hit the ground with her fist.
"There's nothing we can do know except finish what Namine wanted us to do" spoke Roxas in a serious tone.
When they reached the library they found nothing.
"What the heck are we supposed to do?" Lily screamed in distress.
Roxas walked over to the table on the middle of the room and picked up a pen. He completed the drawing; suddenly the table disappeared and showed a secret floor below.
"What are we supposed to do now?" inquired Lily.
"We go down" Roxas stated flatly.
As they stepped into the room they discovered a broken computer station.
"What do you think this was used for?" Lily asked.
"I don't know."
"Why?"
"Because I don't."
"Why?"
"Can you be quite?"
"Okay."
"Thank You."
As they walked further they eventually ended up in a room with a door opposite from where they were standing. Suddenly, a person in a black cloak appeared.
"Now Roxas, running around with two girls, such a ladies man," he said with a grin. He took off his hood revealing blazing red hair.
"Lilixian, nice to see you" he said giving a lovely smile to Lily.
"What the heck? Lilixian? What the heck does that mean?" she thought. She gave him a confused look.
"Remember me? Axel? Best buddy? I guess not, what a shame." He said shrugging it off.
"Now, Roxas surely you remember who I am now, Lilixian what about you? Yes? No?" Axel shook his head.
"Axel" Roxas started,"We're best friends right?"
"Yeah" Axel grinned, he actually remembered me he thought.
"And our bosses name was…" he said while staring at Axel.
"You don't remember do you, so you lied to me?" he sounded more sad then angry.
Lily watched this strange conversation grow and grow until it became a battle. She stood by as she watched her childhood friend fight this person who called her by a strange name.
She watched, worried, and wondered. What would happen if Roxas were to die? How would she tell the rest of the group, or cope with the idea that it was all her fault? At that moment she realized she couldn't do anything. Se just broke down and cried, cried for her friends, for Namine, her parents, and, for Roxas.
She looked up when her tears have dried, Roxas she thought, please don't die on me, please don't.
"Go!" she hears a scream from the battle.
"Go Lily! Go through the door! Finish our job!" it was Roxas.
"Roxas, remember this battle is with me!" Axel yells.
"Go!" Roxas screams while blocking an attack.
She walked into a large room with a giant pod in the center of the room. Lily looks down at one of the sketches that she and Roxas have received from Namine. It was a picture of the vary scene that was before her.
Lily started towards the pod. She suddenly stopped when she heard someone scream her name, "Lily!" She turned around to see Roxas running towards her panting, sweating, and gasping for air.
"Roxas!" she gasped as she ran towards him, embracing him like a brother. "I was so worried!" she cried into his shoulder.
He smiled and patted her on the back telling her he was okay. When she pulled away they both noticed that they were being watched the whole time by a person.
He wore red, a mask to hide his face. Without thinking Roxas attacked him with his Keyblade, but when he did so the Keyblade went through him.
He smirked.
"I am Diz. And as you can see I am currently a hologram", he said with an unflinching expression.
"What is in that pod over there?" Lily couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer. She wanted to know.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Diz asked. Then he disappeared.
"Lily, I don't think you should touch it" Roxas stated in a monotonic voice, but it was too late, she had touched the pod, revealing a boy with spiky brown hair, obviously asleep.
