Warning: If you haven't watched Infinity War already, then I recommend you watch it first. Because the plot point of the one-shot is heavily influenced by the film.

A month or two had passed since the defeat of Xehanort and his "True" Organization XIII.

Now that things had finally settled down, everything was how it should be.

Once a Nobody who was fated to tragedy, grief, and despair, Roxas was now his own person.

When Sora freed him using the Key to Return Hearts, it was a surreal moment of his life.

No longer bound to his Somebody, Roxas was able to think and feel for himself.

He did not react to certain remarks with quotes that Sora would use.

And he had his own share of memories unrelated to Sora's.

In his own views, it felt like a bird finally being set loose of its cage, ready to take on the world, by its own.

And then his eyes glanced to his friends sitting beside him atop the Clock Tower.

Tried as he might, Roxas had to admit the one character he and Sora would forever share.

He remembered that with his friends by his side, he could accomplish almost anything.

With Lea, Naminé, and Xion, they could go on adventures of their own, see the worlds that the universe had to offer.

And seeing Naminé and Xion at his side, pure flesh and blood, it made him even more grateful to Sora who too had gave them a life of their own.

For now however, the four were currently residing in Twilight Town, obviously to shake off the events of last month, as well as to spend some quality time together.

"Man oh man, nothing satisfies this ol' heart of mine than some sea-salt ice cream!" Lea exclaimed happily as he took another lick of his ice cream.

Xion looked at him with a playful frown, "Lea, you already said that like, a million times before."

Lea grinned, "Well, gotta keep you guys memorized and all that."

"Oh, and you're using catchphrase too?" Roxas said with folded arms, "I think it's getting old."

"Nonsense!" Lea stated with a wave of his free hand, "I don't think my friends are tired of it!"

To which both Roxas and Xion merely shook their heads, "No."

Making a pouty face, Lea turned to Naminé who was the only one not eating ice cream like the rest of them.

Her focus was solely on her drawing in her sketchbook.

Lea was about to ask for her comments about his signature, but then he noticed what she was drawing.

"Well, whatcha' working on there, Naminé?" he asked her curiously.

She looked up at him with a cheerful smile on her face, and then she held up the drawing for him to see.

Lea stared at it for a silent moment, and then Roxas and Xion became curious.

Noticing this, Lea smile warmly and passed it on to the two.

As they saw the drawing, Roxas and Xion glanced at one another, and Xion said, "Naminé..."

"Yes?" Naminé asked. "This drawing..." Roxas commented softly, "It's beautiful..."

And he was truthful in his statement.

The drawing was a depiction of the big family that Sora had created throughout this entire adventure.

Xion, Naminé and Lea standing off to the left.

Terra, Ventus and Aqua standing to the right.

And in the middle, Riku, Kairi, and the one person who connects them all.

Just then, they heard as Naminé gasped out in terror, her eyes suddenly as wide as saucers.

"What's wrong?" Xion asked her, quickly concerned with the abrupt change in behavior.

With a gasp, Naminé gazed out into the horizon and muttered out, "S-Something... has happened..."

She looked back to the other three, "Something terrible..."

Lea raised an alarmed eyebrow at this, "Terrible? What do you mean?"

"If Xehanort had come up with a Plan C, I'm gonna–" Roxas started growling out, but Naminé cuts him off.

"No... not Xehanort... All around... I c-can sense..."

Suddenly, they heard a scream of grief coming from down below.

The four quickly looked downwards, to catch sight of a familiar figure standing right below them.

"Is that...?" Roxas muttered out loud. He looked to his friends, "C'mon! We gotta get down there!"

He was the first one to race back down to the ground level, with his friends close at his heels.

As soon as he arrived outside the entrance, he caught sight of the person.

She was presently on her knees, before what appeared to be a pile of dust which was slowly being swept away by the wind.

But he immediately recognised her by her hairstyle and her orange singlet.

"Olette?!" he called out to her as Lea, Naminé and Xion finally arrived behind him.

Upon hearing his voice, Olette slowly turned her head, and the four could see the shock and fear in those usually cheerful green eyes.

"R-Roxas..." she greeted out in an almost, broken yet terrified voice.

Roxas slowly started to approach her, as did Lea. "What happened?" he asked her slowly, "Where's Hayner and Pence?"

Lea noticed the girl wince slightly at the mentioning of her two best friends.

And then she started turning back to the pile before her, and he slowly began to paint the bigger picture.

Slowly, Olette gently picked up some of the dirty soot in her hands and held it aloft for the others to see.

Only that when Roxas and Lea had a closer look, they realized that it wasn't dust at all.

"Is that..." Lea muttered softly, and he slowly started to become terror-stricken.

As Roxas slowly arrived at the same conclusion as Lea, they suddenly heard Xion call out from behind them.

"R-Roxas... Lea!" she cried out in a fearful voice.

As Roxas, Lea, Naminé and Olette looked back, they were completely surprised by what they were witnessing.

Xion was staring at her right hand as it was slowly crumbling away into nothing but ash.

And then quickly, the rest of her body started to disintegrate away.

She looked back up to the others with a look of fright and horror, and Roxas quickly rushed towards her.

"Xion!" he cried out and he reached out to embrace her as she collapsed.

But when he made contact with her, what remained of her normal self disappeared in an explosion of ash.

As it happened, Lea was rendered speechless, Naminé was gasping with horror, and Olette was on her feet, equally as grief-stricken as Naminé was.

As the ash was carried off into the wind, Roxas stared down at the small bits of what remained of one of his closest friends, until they too flew out of his grip.

And even as they were gone, Roxas still remained there, still unable to comprehend what had just taken place.

He could not believe this. Xion. Was. Gone. Again.

And just when she was starting to get used to her new life as a Somebody, some unknown force had to take her away again.

Slowly, he lowered his hands to his sides, and his headed titled downwards to face the ground.

Naminé who was closest to him, could hear the silent sobs, could see the first tear rolling down his cheek, could see his fists clenched and trembling.

It pained her to see him once more in this sorry state.

No one had a more positive effect on him than Xion.

Even as a puppet, Naminé could see that Xion acted just like a regular Nobody.

And because both of them once upon a time were closely linked to Sora, they had an intimate brother-sister relationship.

It broke him just to see Xion die before, and that same feeling was coming back again.

With a scream of rage, Roxas lifted his head up high, and sent his voice all the way up to the heavens.

"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER WAY AGAIN?!" he cried out at the top of his lungs.

At that point, he allowed the tears to flow freely, and he buried his face into his palms.

But as Naminé slowly approached to comfort him, her eyes slowly widened as she caught sight of ash flying out from under his white jacket.

"Roxas!" she cried out with a gasp, "You're fading away too!"

As Roxas slowly lowered his hands to inspect himself, Lea and Olette were crying out his name in horror once they too saw the ash.

At first, Roxas looked terrified by this, but then his expression slowly turned sullen, and dreadfully... calm.

His resigned blue eyes met her horrified ones, and he slowly let out a smile.

Naminé was almost tempted to just slap him in the face there and now.

How could the jerk be actually smiling at the point of death?

"Na...mi...né..." he croaked out weakly, and he held out one hand to her face as he was almost gone.

Naminé remained speechless as she felt his soft hand caress her cheek, before it along the rest of his body dissolved into nothing but ash.

She watched as the ash flew off into the sky, unaware of a single tear rolling down her cheek.

At the same time, Lea was yelling his head off, "ROXAS, YA FREAKIN' ZOMBIE! GET BACK HERE! DO YA HEAR ME?! COME BACK!"

Behind him, Olette was muttering a silent prayer, "May both you and Xion finally find peace in the afterlife..."

And then, they slowly heard the rest of Twilight Town stirring to life.

The choruses of screams and cries rang across the sky like a bell, and plumes of ash were slowly scattering across the town from a few dozen areas.

Market Street. Station Heights. The Sandlot. They were hotspot locations.

Now almost to the point of breaking down, Naminé dropped her sketchbook and ran over to Lea.

She wrapped her arms around him tightly and buried her face into his black coat.

"L-Lea..." she mumbled out, "Why is this happening...?"

Lea remained silent as he wrapped his arms around the grief-stricken girl.

"Nothing like this was foretold..." Olette croaked out sombrely, as she stared at the ash, "Not in storybooks, not in prophecies... Not in anything..."

Lea continued to remain silent as he resumed staring at the town, as true terror and chaos began to arouse.

For once in his life, he had no joke to give, no laughter to bring to the table.

For he knew, that this may truly be the end of the world.

Okay actually, it's not REALLY a story. Just an experiment one-shot. I may or may not add on to this considering how much imagination I have with regards to it.
