Flames REBORN

Chapter 1:Awake

"Where...What happened to me..." I was coming too. How long was I out? And how'd I get here...
"Roxas?" I remember last being near him. He was knelt in front of me right... Or was that him? I gathered my strength and I stood up. I turned and faced the glass window to my right. Then I saw my reflection.
"That's... That's.. me." I stood and took a look at myself. My spiked red hair stood the same way.

"Dilan, Aeleus, Even,Ienzo-" I turned back to the glass to see myself again. I was amazed. I took a closer look and my eye marking... They were gone.

"We're people again, but only the ones who joined the Organization here. I guess Xehanort doesn't count but where is Braig... and Isa?" Aeleus stood up.

"Axel, Could this be real? Are we really whole?", he said hiding back excitment. Ienzo stood up after him and gave me a quick look of fear till he noticed I was whole too.

"I think we may. It is the only explanation since- "
"Why aren't Dilan and Even awaking?" I asked even though I didn't care. I just wanted him to shut up.
"Well, I think that's because of a more critical-"
"Forget I asked", I said rather harshly and he jumped back.
"Aye big guy. Help me take Even and Dilan to the infirmary", I said picking up Even.
Aeleus nods. He was always the silent type.
We arrive at the infirmary and I see small locks of blue hair...
"Isa..."
"Hmmm?", Aeleus looks at me and wonders.

"I'm going to look around the Castle for Isa and the others. You find Ienzo and look for some clues in the books old man Ansem has in the Study", I said to him. We sit our patients down and he nods. He goes back toward the Study area. I begin to search the first basement floor where the study was working my way to the top of the castle.

"C'mon Isa! Arlene is waiting for me. We should go anyway before one of those guards catch us!"

"Give it a rest Lea. This is your dream right?", Isa had said. I turned around and I saw the younger version of Isa and myself. I remembered this day. It was the last day we were Somebodies.
"Yeah but I don't-", I had began but was cut off.
"Exactly. If there's anything I learned from you it's that sometimes you have to take risks", Isa had said to the younger me. The two faded from existance and I thought to myself, "If only Isa had listened..."

I decided to turn around and check the basements. I went to the Secret room and headed to the Door. No one. At this point I decided to return to the Study, with two hours passing from looking.

"Where are they? I've turned this castle upside down looking", I said walking back into the room. Aeleus was looking at old books and Ienzo was reading one.

"Hey, Are the other two still out cold", I asked.

"Dilan and Evan are conscious again, but still unstable. They are resting in the infirmary", Aeleus responded.

"Gotcha. Well I guess I'll give the castle grounds a sweep", and with that I turned my back and was ready to walk out till Aeleus called back.

"Don't. If they were back, we would have found them by now."
"So do you think they were blasted off into some other world or what?" I asked without realizing that Ienzo would open his mouth again.

"I highly doubt it. When someone who's lost their heart is recompleted, they should return to the place where it happened. And if that world is unavailible for whatever reason, a refuge is made for them in the realm between. A world called 'Traverse Town'. They would sent there. ", Ienzo explained.
"And perhaps-"
"Look the fact is we're here. We've been recompleted, right?" I cut him off again.

"So they should be here too. Plain and Simple", I finished.
"I agree it is strange", Ienzo said. I let out a huge sigh. This is exhausting.

"What a drag", I said.

"Could they not have been recompleted at all?" I asked

"Well you see-", Ienzo began before I cut him off again.
"Ah. I get it. You know what? I'll bring them back myself." I noticed the drawings on the wall. I'm trying to make out what the faded words say.
"Huh? How exactly?", Ienzo asks.
"Why do I always get stuck with the icky jobs", I sigh as I figure out the words. It reads "Door To Darkness". That could only mean Xehanort has Isa and Braig. And I bet they are plotting something.

"Axel, What are you going to do?" Aeleus asked.
"Axel? No no. Guess we never really met besides you throwing me and Isa out", I said to him ingoring his question. His replay was silence as usual.
"The name's Lea. Got it memorized?"
