"Funny, he always made me feel like I had a heart... And you make me feel the same way..." And with that, Axel faded away into nothingness, leaving the saddened Sora behind. He had found Roxas, by helping Sora and sacrificing his full power. He was finished. He felt bits and pieces of himself drifting away, saying their goodbyes to each other and going who knows where. "I'm done..." He thought to himself.

Then, out in the distance came a bright light. He saw it and began floating towards it. "What is that?" He thought. Then, he began to hear soft cries in the distance, like a banshee. "Who is that?" He thought. As he drifted closer to the light, thick, slimy walls started to close around him. "What? What's happening?" He started to feel himself wiggling. The walls got tighter and tighter until he stopped. The light stood inches away, taunting him. "No!" He shouted in his head. "He's stuck!" He heard a man shout in the distance. "Yeah, no duh..." Axel thought. In that instant, he saw a giant hand come from the light. "... God...?" He thought in confusion. He felt his head grabbed. "Uhm, okay...?" Axel was even more confused. "Push!" He heard the man shout. The banshee began to scream again. Axel felt the walls around him lose their grip and the hand pulling him. "A-ha! Finally free-! Oh wait!" He began to slide through the walls and into the light. He had his eyes closed, it was too bright for him. "Congratulations, Mrs. Burns, it's a beautiful baby boy!" The man said loudly.

Axel opened his eyes. He was covered in some kind of slime and there was a giant man holding him. "Wait a sec..." As his eyes began to focus, the man turned out to be a doctor. "Oh, crap..." He thought to himself. "Why is he so quiet?" He heard a tired female voice ask. "Oh, he's just looking around, scoping the place out!" The doctor said. Axel heard a few people laugh. "... No way..." He thought to himself. "... Am I a baby?" He shouted out loud. But the only thing that came out was a loud shrieking of a newborn infant. "Oh, there he goes!" The doctor said. Axel was handed over to a woman who was sweaty and breathing hard. "Aw, hello handsome...!" She said in a cooing voice. Axel stopped shouting and looked at her. She had hazel eyes and dark brown hair. "What? Whoa! If you're my mom, I MUST be a good looking baby..." He thought to himself. From the left side of his mother came a man's face. He had bags under his eyes and flaming orange hair. His eyes were a bright green and his smile was creepy. "Hello, son...!" He said happily. "Oh, god... I hope I'm handsome..." Axel sighed, which came out as a cute baby noise. Everyone awed at his cuteness.

"Look! We're already communicating!" The orange hair man laughed. "Okay, well this IS better than fading into darkness... A hell of a lot stranger, too, but still better..." Axel looked back and forth at his new parents. "What are we gonna name him?" His mother asked. His father pulled out a piece of paper. "Well, how about we name him after our parents?" He suggested. Mother shook her head. "No." She said annoyed. "Okay, how about we name him after me?" He suggested. Mother looked at him weird. "Garfunkel, Jr?" She asked. Axel's eyes widened. "Oh, god! No! Just name me Axel! A-X-E-L!" And of course his shouts became cries. Mother shushed him. "See? He doesn't like it..." She said quietly. "How about Axel?" A voice said from the other side of the room. Axel became quiet. "Yes! That's it!" His hooray became a cute sigh. Mother smiled at him. "I think he likes that name..." She said to Father. "Alright then, Axel. That's a good name..." He said spontaneously. "The name is kept!" Axel kicked around for joy. "I think somebody is hungry!" Mother said happily. "Yeah, I could go for some sea salt ice cream or-" He stopped in mid thought when he saw his mom lift up her shirt. "... I just lost my appetite! NOOO!" He started crying. Mother cooed at him and he disappeared quietly under her shirt.
