There are memories we all hold dear within us. And how we remember them, will always remind of an emotion attached to it. Some events are happy. Others are destructive. But we can look past all the negativity and hope for a new shining era.

All we need to do is believe.

The black haired young man looked at Zane for a moment. "You look oddly familiar."

Cloud and Zane kept their silence at the black haired young man kept examining Zane. Cloud cleared his throat and the two others snapped out of their trances and looked at him.

"Hikaru, this is Zane. He ended up here mistakenly and wants to go back home. Maybe you can help him." Cloud said as he walked off.

Hikaru looked at Zane as he looked down to the floor.

"I can't shake the feeling that we've met before." Hikaru said softly. "Well, anyways, I'll help you out. I just have to handle something really fast." Hikaru walked off to another room in the house.

"Oh, okay." Zane said as he looked up and looked at Cid who was sitting down looking at him.

"Ya do look oddly familiar kid." Cid said as Zane looked on confused.

As Cid went to stand a large blast and earthquake rocked the house. Zane and Cid both fell hard to the ground. Zane looked back at the door and a figure in a red robe appeared. Zane's eyes opened as the figure stared directly at him. Cloud appeared and quickly pulled out his Buster Blade. As he ran towards the red robed figure, a group of 30 Soldier heartless appeared.

"This is not a war for Hallow Bastion, I just want the boy. Zane." The figure pointed at Zane who stood up.

"What in the hell!?" Hikaru reappeared from the other room with his hair slightly blond.

Zane looked at him stunned and confused. For the first time Zane had noticed what he was wearing. He had on a long unbuttoned white shirt showing his chest somewhat, white baggy cargo pants, white tennis shoes, white fingerless gloves, a silver neck chain, and white scarf that was folded.

"What did ya do to your hair!?" Cid yelled out as he stood up.

"BRING ME THE BOY!" The red robe figure yelled out.

"Not now, Cid!" Hikaru held out his hand and a crimson red Keyblade appeared in his hands. It was shaped as if to be a spear.

Hikaru walked out the door of the house and looked at the red robed figure and sighed.

"One of the 4. I see. So then, Hikaru, if you were here that means the other two must have been... oh this is priceless." The red robed figure laughed.

"Whoever you are, this won't end well for you. Back off." Hikaru pointed the spear-like Keyblade. "There won't be a second warning."

"You were once much stronger then many, but I will show you the might of a member of the Chronos Order. I am..." The red robe pulled back its hood and smiled. It was a woman with blood red hair and black eyes. "... Miyoko." She pulled the robe off and revealed her thin leather body suit. She pulled a long sword from her back and smiled coldly.

"Doesn't interest me." Hikaru said as Cloud was dealing with the heartless.

"Watch out, she can do more then summon heartless and look like a bitch!" Cloud yelled out as he cut through more and more Soldier Heartless that kept appearing.

Hikaru looked a Cloud for a split second before he turned back to notice that Miyoko was gone.

"Where did she go?" He looked around a moment and could not find her. As he did, from his shadow, a sword slowly began appearing.

"Look out!" Zane ran out from the house and pushed Hikaru out of the way as the sword shot out from the ground.

"Damnit, he's fast." Miyoko said as she looked on from on from a rooftop of another house. Her sword was stabbed into the roof. He pulled it out and sighed. "I guess, up close tactics will have to work." She jumped off and landed on the ground facing the two young men.

"Okay, she really is a bitch." Hikaru said as he stood up. Zane stood beside him and looked on.

"What do you want from me?" Zane asked coldly. His eyes began to shine a soft red.

"I want what's hidden inside you. But I see it's already fighting its way out. How mad can I make you?" Miyoko smiled and charged both of them. "Viper Sting!" She threw her arm aside and the sword began to go limp. She whipped it around and then thrust it forward.

"Damn!" Hikaru pushed Zane aside as the sword shot between them. They both hit the ground rolling and stood up fast. Zane looked around for a place to hide.

"Damn. Maybe next time." Miyoko smiled as Cloud manage to break past the heartless that impeded him before.

"I'm not too late to join this party, am I?" Cloud said as he walked over to where Hikaru was and exchanged nasty looks with Miyoko.

"Damn, seems like I have 3 boys to play with. A weakling who still has no idea what he really is, a former champion for good and a showoff with a big sword. It's time I up the ante! Come forth! Sylos!" Miyoko looked at Cloud, Zane and Hikaru smiling as her body took a soft green shine. She held her hand up and a blast of energy shot out of her hand into the sky. The sky above turned green and began to split apart.

"Wow, you can see space from here." Zane said as the planets and stars became visible in the splitting sky.

"This isn't good." Hikaru looked at the sky as a bright round thing flew towards them.

The giant ball of energy slammed into the ground and blasted the 3 young men back hard into opposing walls of other homes. As they recovered, the ball broke open softly and an Armadillo type heartless appeared. It was all blue with pink eyes and had the Heartless insignia on its back.

"Now, play fetch for mommy, Sylos." Miyoko said as Sylos rolled back into a ball and began spinning fast.

"I have a bad feeling that when it's like that, it's impervious to everything." Cloud said as he and the others regrouped.

"What do we do then?" Zane asked softly.

"Leave it to us." Hikaru smiled confidently and walked forward slowly. Cloud shook his head and followed.

"Gonna let them do all the work?"

Zane looked down, feeling weak and helpless. As he did, a card formed in his hand a picture of a fireball was on it. He looked at it confused and unsure what it was for.

"Hey now! That's awesome! A Fire Spell Card! Hold it up!"

Zane held the card tight as he looked at it. He slowly raised his hand to the air. As he did, Miyoko looked at him and her eyes shot open.

"A Shattered Memory card? Impossible! I thought all his memories were sealed!" Miyoko looked horrified. "Sylos, now!" She yelled out as the ball blasted forward at Hikaru and Cloud both of whom jumped out of the way.

"She's aiming for..." Cloud looked at Sylos's rolling body.

"Zane!" Hikaru yelled out. He put his hands together and took a deep breath. "Air Bombardment!" He spat out 4 giant blasts of wind at Sylos which exploded with no effect. "Damn! He was right!"

Sylos rolled forward as Zane raised his hand with the card.

"Get out of the way! Now!"

Zane looked at Sylos as he rammed into him. The two crashed into a wall. Sylos remained rolling into the wall. Miyoko looked in anticipation. Sylos stopped rolling and broke out of its ball and let out a giant roar. Miyoko looked on furious.

"Well!?" She called as she head footsteps behind her. She pulled out her sword and blocked Cloud's Buster Blade from crashing down on top of her. They remained in a deadlock. "Well, if it isn't the show off."

"Takes one to know one." Cloud said struggling against her.

On another roof, Hikaru looked down at Sylos shaking his head. "Things like that can be troubling. But you're okay, right?" He tilted his head over to Zane who looked on pale and shaking.

"Yea. Sure." He responded.

"Good, try not to get hurt." Hikaru jumped down and pulled out the spear-like Keyblade and nodded. "Here we go! Affirmation!" He said as the Keyblade transformed into a giant gauntlet like spear head. Hikaru grabbed it and stabbed Sylos' back hard with the Keyblade. Sylos let out a huge roar of pain.

"Sylos!" Miyoko yelled out as she kicked Cloud hard in the chest and made a run for Sylos.

"Here we go, time to change things around! Sin Limit: Supernova!" Hikaru kicked off Sylos' back and began turning all red and blasted into the sky.

Zane, Cloud (who recovered slightly) and Miyoko looked up at the spiraling red energy blast that was now Hikaru. It stopped in midair and shone brilliantly. Miyoko and Zane looked on mouth's agape.

"This is why they called him the Master of Affirmation. He's exceeded what Shinjo said he would be like." Miyoko said silently as the energy blasted back down towards Sylos and exploded hard.

The creature let out a huge roar that pierced the ears horrifically. The blast took out a home nearby and Zane ran from the energy wave that headed his way. He jumped down from the roof and landed in a cart of hay. As the explosion settled, a figure with a giant spear head for an arm appeared shining in red. It turned around slowly and incredibly deep blue eyes shone brightly.

"So, what other little tricks you got? Or is that all?" Hikaru's voice came from the figure.

"Whoa, so that's the full power of Affirmation. It makes you ungodly strong."

"You seem to know alot more then I do." Zane jumped out of the hay and looked at Cloud who looked on as Miyoko and Hikaru had a stare down.

"I seemed to have overstayed my welcome. It's time to go now, toddles!" She smiled and vanished rapidly.

When she was gone, Hikaru stopped glowing red and the arm was restored to normal and the spear-like Keyblade returned to its normal form. He sighed softly as Cloud shook his head.

"All that, for nothing." Cloud walked off as Zane walked up to Hikaru.

"You got hay in your hair. When I'm done regaining some HP, we'll leave. But before that, I have to go visit a friend in another world. If you don't mind that is." Hikaru looked at Zane who had hay stuck in his hair.

"Sure." Zane plucked out the hay and watched Hikaru walk off. "Who is he?"

"Hikaru Tykage. A former member of the 4. The 4 was group of warriors destined to walk together and save Kingdom Hearts. It was comprised of 1 girl who had soon learned alot from the Holy Powers. Mistress of Light, Miyu. A man whose power was etched into memory and time. Lord of the Persecuted, Zaden. A teen whose powers were as strong as his conviction to save his friends. Master of Affirmation, Hikaru. Finally, a fourth member. I can't remember them much. But I know there were four. Then, there was you. The Repented."

"Okay, but why don't I remember this?" Zane asked.

"Not sure."

Meanwhile...

"Explain to me, why I allowed you to go after the boy and you returned empty handed." A cold murderous voice said.

The darkness of the room was not inviting to Miyoko who stood with a light shining down above her.

"Well, sir, he was being guarded by one of the 4." Miyoko said a bit fearful.

"THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE!" The voice roared with such intensity that Miyoko shook.

"I am sorry I failed you, sir." Miyoko said as a tear streamed from her eye.

"You have failed me long enough. I will no longer allow this. For two years, I sat at the bottom of the darkness. I asked for you to bring me a simple heart and soul and you have all failed me. Miyoko, I will give you a task and you had best complete it." The voice said.

"Yes, sir. Anything you want." Miyoko said softly.

"Kill Shikan for his insolence. And then return to me with his heart and soul. Fail me and it will be you on the receiving end of a death sentences. AM I CLEAR!?" The voice exploded with rage.

"Yes, sir." Miyoko said with a small curling smile on her face.

"Good. Be gone, foul vermin." The voice said as Miyoko disappeared. "I will attend to this matter of the boy myself. And I will get what I want."

The lights of the room exploded on and in a giant chair shaped like a broken heart was a robe in all shining silver. A pair of pink eyes shone.

"We shall see soon."

The figure stood and several chains fell to the floor. At the ends of the chains were sharp knives. 14 blades all together. The figure walked forward as the chains followed closely behind him. Then, without warning, the blades retracted quickly back up into the robe and out of sight.

"I will get what I want." The figure turned to the chair and stared at it. The chair exploded into many pieces.

Back At Hallow Bastion...

"Okay, we're set to go." Hikaru looked at Zane who was sitting inside of the gummi ship. He shook a bit from fear. "Don't worry about! I'm generally a great driver."

"That eases me." Zane said as he shook a bit more.

"Thanks for the confidence boost. Okay, here we go! Off to The Village of Forgotten Memories!" Hikaru exclaimed as he jumped into his seat and pressed a giant green button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey!" A voice called out in a long white hall.

The girl standing in the hall turned around slowly and gave a small smile. She held out her hand and a white Keyblade shaped like a crescent moon appeared. He black dress was akin to one that Alice herself wore. And she was proud of it. Her eyes were shocking blue and her hair was black. It was all held together by a bow and she pointed the Keyblade at the empty space.

"We'll see how far you've come along, Miyu."
