"Great." Zexion says. "As if i'm not pissed off enough already."

The Heartless see him and proceed to head towards him.

"Dusks! I summon you!" Zexion says as many Dusks flock to his aid.

He sends the Dusks after the Heartless. The Heartless quickly prove too much for the Dusks as the Shark Heartless quickly dispatch them.

"I guess I will have to do things myself." Zexion says.

He summons his Lexicon and prepares for battle.


Demyx, however, is stadning on the beach, which is the entrance to Atlantica.

"I can sense him...........somewhere." Demyx says.

Demyx enters the water as his features change into yet another Merman form. They are the same as Zexion's only his aquatic parts remain blue instead of changing color. The Nobody Emblem appears on his chest instead of on his aquatic parts.

"This is pretty cool." Demyx says.

He then swims for miles until he reaches what appears to be a town.

Various Mer-People are seen conversing.

Demyx then goes up to a Female with red hair and freen parts.

"Excuse me, Miss?" He asks.

"Yes?" She asks.

"I'm looking for a male with black fins and a symbol like mine. Have you seen him?" Demyx asks.

"I have not." She says. "I can help you look for him, though. My name's Ariel."

"Mine's Demyx." Demyx replies.

"What does he look like?" Ariel says.

"He has blue hair, most of it covers one eye." Demyx says.

"So he's the one Flonne mentioned." Ariel says.

"Flonne?" Demyx asks.

"A friend of mine." Ariel says. "She saw him headed towards Twinreef Trench. I have no clue why, though. Weird creatures have been popping up there."

"Heartless............." Demyx says.


Zexion, however, was not having the best of times.

He releases a shockwave from his weapon that kills ten Heartless off at once.

"Drat." He says. "I'm losing power."

The Heartless converge upon him.

He sends out three shockwaves in a combo to stop the advancing horde.

He floats near the trench wall, cornered as more of them appear.

"Not here............" Zexion says. "For the Organization. For............Demyx................."

That's when the Heartless near him are purged by an unknown source.

"Zexy!" Someone says.

"Only one person dares call me 'Zexy'............" Zexion thinks.

"Demyx?!" Zexion says.

Demyx and Ariel get in front of Zexion to protect him.

"Yeppers!" Demyx says. "Nobody's gonna take my man!"

"I cannot fathom it." Zexion says. "Why come here?"

"To save you, silly!" Demyx says. "I don't care what ol' Mansex says. We may not have hearts, per se, but we have our souls. That alone is what makes us something!"

Zexion is just silent as he realizes just how true Demyx's word's are.

Demyx summons his Sitar as he and Ariel get into battle position.

"Let's get ready for a rockin' time!" Demyx says.

Even though his powers are Water-based, he can also manipulate water pressure. Using his Sitar as a channel, he increases the pressure around his Sitar and releases it at the Heartless.

Ariel swims around, whacking the Heartless with her fins. (Just like in the first Kingdom Hearts.)

Zexion summons his Lexicon. Using it, he launches beams of energy at any Heartless trying to attack the other two.

Eventually, he runs out of power. As he collapses into unconciousness, Demyx catches him.

"Zexy!" Demyx says.

"He'll be fine." Ariel says. "Let's take him to my home."


They go to Ariel's grotto.

Once they enter, they lay Zexion down on a nearby rock.

"He needs Dark power!" Demyx says. As he places his palm on Zexion's bare chest.

"Dark power?" Ariel says. "Why Darkness?"

Demyx explains to Ariel about the Organization as well as their mission here.

"So you're deserters............" Ariel says.

"I am." Demyx says. "Zexion is dedicated to the Organization's cause. He may go back."

"But why?" Ariel says. "Why do you all need hearts?"

"We don't have hearts. Most of us pretend to have emotions in order to be...........something we aren't." Demyx says, sulking.

"I can sense a heart in both of you." Ariel says. "You don't need to have the body part in order to have a real heart."

Demyx just looks at her and smiles.

"I know." Demyx says. "Zexy doesn't know that. Excuse me for a moment."

Demyx's arm forms a Dark aura as the Darkness around Demyx's arm takes shape.

A Darker aura forms around Zexion as he receives the power that Demyx is radiating.

Zexion then opens his eyes.

"Zexy!" Demyx says.

Zexion looks around groggily as he sees Demyx and Ariel.

"Demyx?" Zexion asks. "Is that you?"

"Yeah." Demyx answers, "Ariel took us to her home. That's where we are now."

"What?!" Zexion exclaims. "We have to leave! Now!"

"Why?!" Demyx asks.

"Xemnas may be worried!" Zexion says. "I must report to him at once!"

Zexion leaves the grotto as he swims to the surface and reaches the beach.

Demyx follows him as he meets Zexion on the beach.

Their bodies revert back to normal form.

"We must return!" Zexion says as he opens a portal.

"No we can't!" Demyx says. Zexion turns to look at him as if he's high.

"What?!" Zexion asks. "I've completed my mission and you are absent without leave! Do you have any idea just how badly we look in the Superior's eyes right now?"

"Did you grasp anything I've said to you?!" Demyx asks. "I told you. We have our souls. We don't need hearts in order to exist. We have no use for the Organization now!"

Zexion just looks at Demyx. Sadness is apparent in his light blue eyes.

"I never thought that you would turn traitor." Zexion says. "Are you really leaving the Organization? Leaving me?"

Demyx looks at Zexion with longing.

He then walks uup toZexion and kisses the Cloaked Schemer passionately.

The Schemer replies in kind as their toungues fight for domination.

Eventually, Demyx releases the kiss.

"I love you with all my heart, Zexy." Demyx replies. "But I'm going to do what I think is right. This may be goodbye for now. Someday, you'll realize what I meant."

Demyx dives back into the sea as his words hit Zexion like a tsunami.

Zexion miserably goes through the portal.
