Roxas just thought for a few moments before they all decided to make the place into a bunker type of place, Sephiroth, Axel, and Yuffie were all kept in the same room. Cloud and Leon guarded that room, while Riku began to work on plans to help get rid of these creatures. Sora just kept killing those that randomly appeared, he and Roxas would take shifts on this job. However Riku was soon under so much stress, he was beginning to exhibit the symptoms of the others, Aerith figured it was because he was so close to the darkness for so long. This hit Sora hard, and he and Roxas were now fed up with waiting.
"What kind of coward does such a thing!?" screamed Sora.
Riku was taken in with the other three, Roxas lay back, he could feel his mind rushing, and Sora could too. Both of them were crying as they just sat there. Leon and Cloud now taking their jobs. The other four were now lay into beds, fed and taken care of by Tifa and Cid. Riku didn't seem to remember Sora, but he pulled Sora aside all the time, looking at him with a look of trust, and Sora knew, Riku having lost his mind, he had a plan, and his mind was subconsciously allowing him to get closer to the source, and soon Riku had his memories, it had only taken him two weeks to go through it, but the other three weren't improving at all.
"While my mind had escaped, I got pretty close, I saw Namine and Kairi, it was a strange feeling of revenge coming from them both. Sora, I think that Kairi is being manipulated into doing this. Someone is controlling her, and they almost got to me, but they couldn't. I'm lucky I spent so much time in the darkness, and I have a plan. The plan is that each of us have to get through to three of them. That means that Cloud, you and Leon have to work with Sephiroth, Aerith and Tifa have to work with Yuffie, and Roxas must work with Axel. Meanwhile Sora and I will keep watch." spoke Riku's ever velvety and deep voice.
Riku and Sora went outside, for now nothing was happening. Sora looked to Riku, he had been so happy to know that Riku had kind of learned a few things by letting himself get that way, at the same time he was so happy he was back again, if he ever lost Riku again. Sora felt his heart thump...he'd known that for a while that he liked Riku, it wasn't normal though, right? His blue eyes looking at the ground in a small depression.
-Meanwhile-
Roxas stepped into Axel's room and he approached the man. He knelt down at the bedside and he began to let tears pour. This was all his fault! If he'd never left Organization XIII in the first place then Axel wouldn't have died to try and see him again! He felt like he had a heart around Axel, maybe he'd lost it, but he cried and cried.
"You made me feel like I had a heart...those were your last words to me Axel. And even if you're unconscious and you don't know it, I wanted you to know, you made me feel the same way. I love you Axel!! And even though you can't hear me because this illness has taken you so far away from me, I will not leave your side! I'm sick of this! I just want to be happy! Why is it that either way I go I lose something!? That I can't be happy!?"screamed Roxas.
Suddenly Roxas felt a hand on his cheek, he looked up with his pure blue eyes, Axel's dead eyes staring at him, they had no soul, maybe this was what was left of him, but Roxas couldn't help it, he cried more as Axel rubbed away his tears with no words spoken by his dead mouth. Until finally he spoke...
"Don't cry Roxas. I still feel that way...and when you guys defeat this...I'll show you...I have a heart with you. I love you too Roxas." were his last words before his hand fell unconscious as did he once again.
Roxas was stunned, he immediately ran out only to feel his head splitting in half, it hurt like hell and he screamed in pain. Sora ran in and as soon as he did, he dropped to his knees too. Riku was afraid of this. They were both losing their minds because they were separate, however unbeknownst to anyone Sephiroth had been improving, so he ran in, he remembered everything, however no longer possessed by Jenova he ran forward and he swiped his sword at creatures that no one else could see, as soon as they were destroyed Sora and Roxas stood up, everyone looked at Sephiroth.
"They're called the mindless. Simple enough, I know it's pretty close to heartless, only those who have been taken by them can see them. Riku you were not fully taken, but you're right, they've taken over Kairi and Namine, they're using the powers within them both to summon more and Axel will not recover until we un-possess Kairi and Namine. We have to do this. For all of your friends Sora, for Riku, for Axel and Roxas, for everyone. We must venture into the depths of Axel's, Roxas's, Leon's, Cloud's, Riku's, and Sora's minds and find what is holding all of you back, for something is, otherwise the mindless can't harm you. I'd say we go with the most simple minded one here, Sora, first." spoke Sephiroth's deep voice.
Riku couldn't help but laugh, nor could any of the others, these mindless were attacking because of these six men!? Well so be it then, Cid unleahed a machine, therefor they could venture into each mind, first would be Sora's, and Riku, Sephiroth, and Aerith decided they would enter this one.
