"AXEL!"

Axel stood in front of Roxas protectively. His chakrams danced his hands as the rain beat down the fire around him. The fire hissed loudly in response.

"Who are you!" The imposter yelled out.

Axel smirked, "You know Riku, I liked your old look better. Now you just look like a pain in the ass."

Riku's Guardian reached for Roxas again. Axel snapped his finger, within seconds two Assassins where blocking the Guardian's path.

"Axel? What are you doing?!" Roxas shouted.

Axel raised a firewall between them and Riku. "Helping you, now get up!" Axel ran towards Roxas and hosted the boy up. "We need to leave, NOW!"

"But-"

"No butts expects yours off the ground, MOVE IT"

Flinging several Chakrams into the ground Axel set off an explosion. Smoke and steam surrounded them as Riku fought off Axel's Assassins. It was chaos. Pulling Roxas's arm over his neck he summoned a Dark Corridor.

"Axel I can't leave! I have to get to Kingdom Hearts!" Roxas's fatigue was getting to him, his own legs barely supported him. "For her! Xion! I can't leave her!"

Axel look a second to look at Roxas, the boy's blue eyes were wild. He knew Nobodies didn't have heart, but he could clearly see desperation in Roxas's eyes.

"You can't help her in this condition, come on." Roxas nodded weakly, he dismissed both his keyblades before passing out in Axel's arms. With that he dragged Roxas across the Dark Corridor.

"Wait! He can't leave! Sora!" Riku's Guardian pushed the Assassins out of the way before attempting to reach for the pair. He heard the Corridor close. Riku panted as the Assassin's disappeared into the nothingness.

They got away, Roxas got away. His one chance to wake up Sora, gone. He was so close, if it wasnt for Axel, Roxas would have been his.

Riku grimaced, DiZ was not going be happy. He reached down and picked up his blindfold. Begrudgingly he summoned a corridor of darkness himself. He looked back at The World that never was. The rain had killed the fire, scorch marks littered the ground. Golden eyes shun in the distance.

Heartless.

"Riku... why didn't you stop him?"

He ignored the voice in his head as the entered the corridor. Surely DiZ was waiting for him on the other side.
