Author's Note: The first half of the chapter is in first person, but after that, the story goes into third person view.


I had finally escaped that horrible castle. Saix had tried to stop me, but he couldn't, I don't know how, but I was able to beat him. I was on the street again; it was like I was heading towards my next mission. I noticed Axel leaning against a pillar, but I decided to ignore him. I past by him without a glance, before I was out of sight, I heard him move.

"So, your mind's made up?" he asked me. I stopped walking; I slightly turned my head to where I could see him out of the corner of my eye.

"Why did the keyblade choose me? I have to know." I replied, I prepared to start walking again, hoping to end that conversation right there, Axel jumped out into the street.

"You can't turn on the organization! You get on their bad side, and they'll destroy you!" he yelled, at this point I didn't care anymore.

"No one would miss me." I said and started to walk again, I left my best friend standing there speechless for the first time. He reached out his arm as if to call me back, but it quickly fell to his side, he knew I wasn't coming back.

"That's not true" he muttered, I could still hear him "I would."

I woke up with a jolt, shivering in a cold sweat in the middle of summer. I looked out the window, the moon was shining bright. I pulled some of the hair out of my eyes and slowly got out of bed. It was obvious I wasn't going to get much more sleep tonight. I don't know why, but I've been having these weird dreams lately. About a boy that looks similar to me, except he wore an organization cloak. My brain tells me that I know him well, but I can't remember from where.

I pulled on my jacket and pushed the door open and walked out into the sand, it felt so cool outside, and there was a slight breeze, which made me feel better quickly. It had been so long since I had left the islands, I was starting to miss the other worlds… and Donald… Goofy, too. It had been a long time since I had wanted to go on an adventure this badly.

"It's so calm tonight." A voice spoke out from behind me; I jumped around and saw Kairi walking up to me from her small little house between mine and Riku's.

"Yeah." I said, turning back to look at the moon.

"Did you have another nightmare?" Kairi asked. There was a twist in my stomach, I suddenly wanted to vomit, how did she know I was having nightmares?

"I… uh… Yeah." Was all I could say back to her. She smiled at me, which made me feel better; she was one of the few people who could make me smile these days.

"You make it quite- WAKE UP – obvious you know." She says to me. I shake my head for a moment.

"Did you just-"I begin, but decided that it is just my imagination.

"What was - ROXAS! COME ON! – that, Sora?" Kairi asks, and my head starts to spin. Images are starting to flood into my brain, I think I'm losing control of myself, I fall to my knees and scream out for someone. I open my eyes and nothing is there, I'm just surrounded by darkness.

"Kairi? Kairi? Where did you go?" I call out, to no answer. The darkness seems to be getting stronger, it seems to be almost wrapping itself around me. This all has to be another bad dream, all of it. But wait a minute- who's Roxas?

Kingdom Hearts: Reconnect

Chapter One: Awake

"In Every Heart… Lies even a tiny bit of Darkness."

Sora's eyes shot open as he jolted up, the sun was shining in through the window, and he could see his favorite island from there. Sora rolled out of bed and pulled on his normal clothes. He started to think about his dream, and the dream he had during his dream.

"Roxas…" Sora muttered before looking out the window and seeing Kairi emerge from across the street, she saw him as well and waved for him to come down. Sora bolted for the door, but as he got to the door knob he felt a pulsing in his head. He shook it off and burst through the door and out onto the street.

"You're actually up early, Sora!" Kairi said with a little bit of playfulness in her voice. Sora couldn't help but laugh a little under his breath.

"Yeah, rough night of sleeping, no big deal." He replied. He couldn't help but note how amazing Kairi looked as the sun hit her, her hair was shining, moving slightly in the wind. Sora was speechless for a minute, until Kairi suddenly turned into a girl with short black hair, in an organization robe. Sora rubbed his eyes and Kairi was there again.

"Something wrong, Sora?" Kairi asked, but Sora shook his head, even though he knew something was up, more with his mind than anything else.

"You ready to go meet – Axel – Riku over at the island today? After all, you two are leaving for the King's castle in a few days aren't you?" Kairi asked. Sora shook his head, hearing Axel's name bothered him.

"Uh… Sure." Sora replied.

"Is something wrong?" Kairi asked.

"No, I'm fine" Sora said "Let's go." Kairi nodded and the two friends ran over to the dock and got a short boat ride over to the island. Once they got there, the second Sora's foot touched the sand he started to feel dizzy.

Sora suddenly lunged forward, his keyblade appearing as shadow heartless surrounded him. Sora collapsed, Kairi screamed for Riku. The last thing Sora remembered seeing was Riku saving both him and Kairi from the heartless.

Sora found himself in a familiar setting. He was standing on a large green pillar with a picture of the boy from his dreams. His eyes were closed, like he was asleep. Sora took a few steps towards the face of the picture, to try and get an idea on who this was.

"Sora." A voice called from behind. Sora spun around and was face to face with a figure in the organization cloak. Sora quickly prepared to call for his keyblade, but the figure raised his hand to tell Sora to calm down.

"Don't worry, I'm not really part of the organization." The figure said, he pulled down his hood to reveal the face of the boy in the picture and Sora's dreams.

"Who are you? Why do you keep showing up in my dreams? Why am I here? Where is here?" Sora yelled, not giving the boy anytime to respond to the questions.

"I can only answer your first question. I am you, Sora. Not exactly you, but I am a part of you, I am your nobody, don't you remember?" the figure replies. Sora takes a few steps back.

"I… I can't remember." Sora says. The figure shakes his head and suddenly pulls out two keyblades; Sora freezes up and tries to summon his keyblade.

"Don't even bother; this is my realm now, Sora. I want you to remember my name. Even if I have to beat it into our memory." The figure says and pauses for a second. Sora slightly lowers his guard and the figure bolts towards him.

Sora jumps to the right and barely dodges the figure's attack. Sora ducks and avoids a keyblade swing. Sora jumps backwards as the figure takes a single step forward, swinging both of his keyblades at Sora.

Sora finds himself on the edge of the pillar, with the figure slowly walking towards him now, a smirk on his face. Sora clenches his fists and makes a dive for one of the keyblades. The figure moves his right hand up and Sora lands face first onto the ground. Sora looks up to see the figure almost ready to burst into laughter.

"Come on Sora, you can do better than that, can't you?" the figure says and starts to spin both of his keyblades. Sora decides to try and summon his keyblade again, once again to no avail. The figure lunges forward, wildly swinging both of his keyblades.

Sora jumps up into the air and taps his foot onto the head of the figure as he jumps behind him. Sora smirks, but the smirk quickly fades as the figure spins around and throws a keyblade at Sora. Sora catches the keyblade at the last second before it strikes him down.

Sora gets a tight grip on the keyblade and goes into a fighting stance. The figure smirks and goes into a similar fighting stance. Sora and the figure jump at each other and the two keyblades collide for a brief second before both fighters jump back.

"Do you remember yet, Sora? Do you remember who I am?" the figure says, Sora doesn't respond, and the figure lets out a sigh.

"S.O.R.A. with an added X, that should be a good enough hint for you." The figure says and jumps towards Sora, whose eyes get big for a moment before he blocks the attack with the figure's own keyblade.

"Roxas" Sora says and the figure stops "Your name is Roxas. I remember now. You are my nobody, right?" he continues, Roxas nods and suddenly both keyblades disappear.

"Took you long enough, I thought I was really going to have to beat you. Since you figured out my name I can tell you one more thing before Riku and Kairi wake you up. The reason I'm in your dreams and you're having problems like passing out in battle, is because the connection between us was becoming weak, so I decided to leak a few things out from my mind… into yours. From now on, if I ever have to talk to you, don't be surprised if you suddenly end up here. Oh, and to answer one of your other questions, this place is called the Station of Memory. Good-bye for now, Sora." Roxas says and before Sora can reply there is a huge white flash.

Sora's eyes opened quickly as Kairi and Riku stood over him. Riku's keyblade was pointing at Sora's forehead. Kairi had a few tears in her eyes and gave Sora a huge hug once he woke up. Sora, himself, was still in a daze.

"Oh wow, glad you could join us, 'Master of the Keyblade." Riku says as he extends a hand out to Sora. Sora laughs a little and grabs Riku's hand, and gets pulled up by his friend. Riku slightly taps Sora in the back of the head before turning away.

"This is one of the last few days we could be spending together as a group for a long, long time. We should make it last." Riku says, and both Sora and Kairi nod.

"Let's head down to the tree, for old times' sake." Riku says with a smile.

A computer spat out the data to the man in the black robe, with the hood covering up his face. He stood up for a minute before looking up at the ceiling of the dark chamber he was in.

"So… once again… the process begins."
