"Riku, you know what needs to be done," I nod at Diz's words. Of course I knew what needed to be done, but I didn't like it. Yet the choice was clear. In order for Sora to awaken, I'd have to track his Nobody down and bring him back here. There was something else, id have to take her too.

Xion, the girl who looked just like Kairi and was a Keyblade Wielder. She's near the end of her existence, as she wants to return to Sora. It seemed cruel to destroy them, but I don't have a choice. Sora would do the same for me.

Ansem is making himself ever present in my heart. Now it is necessary for me to wear a blindfold in order to keep him at bay. My eyes cannot lie and tell me I'm still all me, but I can cope without them. It's time for me to act, the worlds need Sora.

….

Xion….was that her name? She made the ultimate sacrifice and gave her life away despite what she knew would happen. Nothing would remain of the Replica, not even a memory, as that was all she was. Now all that remains for me is the true Nobody, Roxas.

"Why! Why do you have the keyblade?" I seethed. Roxas looked at the blade in his hand, then back to me.

"Shut up!" he retorted. Roxas slashed at me, but I leapt up from the ground and parried his blow, launching him several feet backwards. He lay motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious. I drove my borrowed keyblade into the ground beside him, then gasped when he suddenly rose up and grabbed it. Roxas charged me with a renewed ferocity, cutting through the dark fira I fired at him as if it were nothing. When he knocked me to the ground again, I knew I had no choice.

Even if this changes me forever, I knew I had to do it. My hand slid the blindfold off of my eyes, and that concluded my trip towards the light.

And began my trip away from the sun.
