To Gry18: I think those ideas are awesome.

Day 23
Silence Broken

Sacred Moon (Kingdom Hearts II)

"I gotta say...it's pretty much paradise with those guys out of here." Xigbar said.

"No kidding." Demyx chuckled. "With Larxene gone, I can play the Sitar in peace and not have to worry about her screaming in my ear."

"Or calling me the weirdest names." Xaldin said.

"Drawing me a mustache." Saix muttered.

"Shaving my beard." Luxord sighed.

"Or dying my hair...in different colors..." Xarina sighed, her hair back to normal.

Roxas walked in. "Have you guys seen Axel?"

"He left." Xigbar replied.

"Oh."

Xigbar then thought of something. "Though, what I don't understand...is why Larxene didn't target Poppit over here."

"Poppit?" Xarina and Roxas asked...in fact...everyone did.

"My nickname for Xion, duh." Xigbar said.

"Don't know where you came up with that." Demyx said, and then shrugged. "Oh well."

"Speaking of Xion." Saix said, looking at Xarina and Roxas. "You two need to go to Twilight Town and eliminate a Poison Plant and some Deserters...and take Xion with you." He explained.

"Alright." Roxas said, getting up with Xarina as the three of them walked in the portal to Twilight Town and walked in.

"So how are those two siblings?" Xaldin asked.

"Lord Xemnas knows the answer to that." Saix replied.

"Then maybe I'll go ask why." Xaldin said as he got up and walked off...and then everyone else did, leaving Saix alone.

"Well, I guess I'll go join them." He muttered.

Back with the trio...

Lazy Afternoons (Kingdom Hearts II)

"So, it's a Poison Plant...and then Deserters, huh?" Xarina asked.

"Sounds interesting." Roxas said and then turned to Xion. "So, ready to go find them?"

Xion didn't say anything but just nodded. "So, what are we gonna do first?" Roxas asked.

"I think we'd better take out that Poison Plant...who knows what it will do to this town if it continues to stick around." Xarina said.

"Good idea." Roxas said. "It might poison the residents...or make it impossible to live in this town."

One Poison Plant finding later...

"Let's see...if I was a Poison Plant, where would I be?" Roxas asked.

"Um, right over there." Xarina said, pointing over as Roxas looked to see the Poison Plant looking at them.

"Oh, there it is." Roxas said as they summoned their Keyblades while Xion just got in a battle position.

Sinister Sundown (Kingdom Hearts II)

Roxas and Xarina both ran towards the Poison Plant and jumped up to slash the head, but it did not flinch from the attack, instead, it started to bang its head on the two, as they jumped back. "I don't know if that hurt itself too..." Roxas said, using a Potion on himself.

"Who knows..." Xarina shrugged as they both slashed the head after it rested and then it got up and fired a poisonous seed at them, as they all dodge rolled out of the way, and when it hit the wall, the small section of the wall melted just a little bit.

"Holy crap, that poison seed has acid in it!" Roxas exclaimed.

"Which is why we need to eliminate this guy as fast as possible." Xarina said as they aimed their Keyblades at the Poison Plant and used Fire, but that wasn't enough as another fireball hit the Poison Plant, eliminating it. "Uh...bro, was that you?"

"Nope." Roxas said as they turned to Xion, who just shrugged. "Do you think...?"

Lazy Afternoons

"Maybe." Xarina shrugged as they walked back to the sandlot. "So what are Deserters?"

"Heck if I know." Roxas said. "They probably deserted the Heartless."

Xarina raised an eyebrow. "How does a Heartless...desert their own kind?"

"I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud." Roxas said...and as soon as they got to the Sandlot, there was a bunch of Soldier-like Heartless running around. "Um, I take it those are Deserters."

"Probably." Xarina nodded as they took out their Keyblades again.

Rowdy Rumble (Kingdom Hearts II)

Roxas and Xarina both slashed a couple of Deserters, but when they did, the Deserters ran towards them and kicked them away. "Ow..." Xarina winced. "That's...one hell of a kick."

"So much for deserting us." Roxas said, and then used Strike Raid on some more, and then they just kept coming, kicking them really hard.

Xion aimed a hand at a Deserter and used Fire, turning their gaze from the siblings as they ran towards Xion. "Crap...they're going after Xion now!" Xarina exclaimed as they ran towards them and slashed the remaining Deserters before they could even attack Xion.

"Man, that was close." Roxas said.

Lazy Afternoons

"Xion, you guys go on ahead...we got somewhere to go to." Xarina said as they both walked away.

"...Roxas...Xarina..."

They both stopped walking as they turned to Xion. "Huh?" Roxas asked.

"Your names...they're...Roxas and Xarina...correct?" Xion asked.

"Y-yeah...that's right." Xarina nodded as Xion slightly smiled and walked in the portal.

"Was that her first words? Our names?" Roxas wondered.

"I think so..." Xarina nodded.

Day 25
Three Keys

Sacred Moon

The siblings walked in the room and saw Xion. "Hello...Roxas...Xarina."

"Hey." Xarina waved.

Saix walked up to them. "You two are to go with Xion again in Twilight Town...there's a massive Heartless in that area."

"What massive Heartless are we talking about?" Roxas asked.

"Darkside." Saix replied, and then seeing Xarina shiver anime style. "Something wrong?"

"Something about that name creeps me out...I don't know why." Xarina said as they walked through the portal.

"If she thinks the name is creepy, wait until they what that thing looks like." Demyx muttered.

Lazy Afternoons

They walked through the portal and Roxas looked at Xarina. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Xarina replied.

"Roxas...Xarina..." Xion said as they turned to Xion...as she took off her hood. "Best of luck today."

They blinked. "Uh...yeah." Roxas said.

Xion raised an eyebrow. "What, something on my face?"

"No...it's not that...we didn't know what you looked like under your hood." Roxas replied.

Xion tilted her head. "Um, okay..." She said as the three of them walked around Twilight Town, chatting things up while looking around for the Darkside and then when they got to the Station Plaza, a huge shadow loomed over them.

"Did it get dark all of a sudden?" Xarina asked.

"No, the sky is still the same." Roxas said.

"Then maybe you should turn around..." Xion said as they turned to see Darkside right in front of them.

"Oh my god..." Xarina said.

Roxas took out his Keyblade. "So that's what a Darkside looks like, huh?"

Destiny's Force (Kingdom Hearts)

Roxas and Xarina ran towards Darkside as Xion stayed back and used Fire when needed as Darkside punched the ground, creating a dark portal for some Shadow heartless to come through, but Roxas took care of those and then he and Xarina attacked the hand.

"FIRE!" Xion yelled, using Fire on Darkside's head, and then Roxas had a crazy idea. He jumped on Darkside's arm and ran up the arm, and of course, Darkside tried to slap him off.

"Roxas! Are you out of your mind?!" Xarina exclaimed.

"Don't look at me; I just had this idea to do it!" Roxas told her as he slashed the head multiple times before jumping off to avoid Darkside punching him off.

When Roxas landed, Xarina used Strike Raid on the head and then Darkside got on his knees and fired dark aura from his heart-shaped hole, but they both blocked the aura as they both slashed the head and then Xion using Fire on the head one last time to finish Darkside off.

However, Darkside wasn't done yet, he raised his fist at Roxas as he tried to block the punch, but Darkside punched his Keyblade off as it slid its way to Xion as Darkside went over to grab Roxas. "HEY!" Xarina yelled as she slashed the arm, but Darkside wasn't giving up.

"TAKE THIS!" Xion yelled as she slashed through Darkside, as it disappeared in front of the siblings as they were silent for several seconds.

Lazy Afternoons

"Xion..." Roxas found his words. "I...didn't know you could use the Keyblade..."

"You know..." Xion said, looking at the Kingdom Key. "Neither did I."

"You deserve the icing on the cake." Roxas said.

"Huh?" Xion asked.

"Come on, we'll show you." Roxas said, looking at Xarina. "Right?"

Xarina was still frozen in shock, as Xion waved her hand in front of Xarina. "Hello? Anyone in there?"

"Maybe this will make her snap out of it." Roxas said, summoning his Keyblade and placing her hands on the blade and he swung it on her head.

"OW!" Xarina yelled, rubbing her head. "What the hell was that for?!"

"Making you snap out of it." Roxas laughed.

At Dusk, I Will Think of You... (Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days)

"Heeere ya go." Roxas said, giving the Sea Salt Ice Cream to Xion. "It's Sea Salt Ice Cream."

Xion took it and took a bite. "It's...sweet...but salty." She said in surprise.

"It's good, isn't it?" Roxas smiled and then looked at Xarina. "How's your head?"

"Oh just fine, I probably just got a concussion from your Keyblade, thanks for asking!" She responded, trying her hardest not to smile.

"She's fine." Roxas chuckled and then looked at Xion. "You know, this is Axel's favorite."

"Sounds like it's yours too." Xion said. "Considering you and Xarina are smiling every time you take a bite."

"Well it's that good." Xarina smiled.

"Aha! There's that smile! See, you're not hurting anymore." Roxas said.

"Oh shut up, bro." She said, playfully punching him as he chuckled.

"So...I take it you three are friends?" Xion asked.

"Yeah, Axel is our first friend." Roxas said. "And then we became friends with everyone at the castle." He said and then frowned, thinking of Larxene. "...MOSTLY everyone."

"Do you think...we can be friends too?" Xion asked.

"You know, when Axel gets back...we should all eat ice cream together." Xarina suggested.

"Good idea!" Roxas exclaimed with a smile.

Xion nodded and looked at the sunset. "This is such a great view." She said.

So...we can play as Zero Suit Samus in a bikini...or shorts, as Sakurai put it.

Also, Brinstar has been confirmed for a returning 3DS stage. I actually saw that coming.
