Me: Hi everyone I'm back!

Sora: I thought you had writers block? ….Wait how am I here if I'm dead? pouts

Me: well since you can't be alive in my main story I thought you could be here. Now read the disclaimer!

Sora: sighs well at least I'm in the story somehow; aris-5221 doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or anything that you recognize. The only thing that she owns is the plot, Adya, Chase, Alex (even if she killed her own character), and Isabella (although she doesn't really show up). Now please enjoy the chapter.

Me: Sora you are so going to get it!

Sora: eep! runs and hides


The three of them were staring at the two bodies with horror and grief plainly seen across their faces. They couldn't even form words to express what they were feeling; the silent staring contest was broken with a quiet mummer of "Alex….Dad…," and the sound of someone hitting the ground. Chase snapped back to reality when he heard Adya fall to the ground and was next to her in an instant. He was kinda surprised that Namine or Roxas hadn't taken over when she passed out. Chase just kept looking at Alex still not believing his eyes. He couldn't come to terms with the fact that one of his best friends was dead, when he had seen the letters that everyone had gotten he had refused to believe it, but now he couldn't do that any longer with the proof right here in front of him. Now he just hoped that Adya would be ok since she had been through a lot in the last few days. He made a silent promise that he would do anything to protect Adya on this journey.

Adya fell into her subconscious so wildly that both Namine and Roxas had to run to catch her before she fell against something. What they had seen in the outside world was the last thing they had wanted to see and were in shock with everyone else. They had actually expected Adya to pass out but not her being flung into their mind like that. Roxas picked Adya and himself off the ground from when he and Namine fell while trying to catch her and placed her on the couch, and turned to Namine. Namine looked at Adya; she was worried about how all of this would affect her.

"I'm going to go out, they're probably wondering why one of us didn't come out sooner," Roxas said and Namine just nodded and walked over to Adya as Roxas disappeared from their subconscious.

The first thing that Roxas noticed when he got his bearings was that he was moving the next thing was heavy breathing by either Riku or Chase. He opened his eyes and saw that Chase was carrying him. He fidgeted in Chase's arms since he wasn't comfortable in his arms. Chase looked surprised at first and then put Adya/Roxas down to walk on his own.

"It's Roxas right? I just want to make sure," Chase said.

"Yeah it is. Sorry for not coming out sooner…things got a little hectic in our mind," Roxas said.

"It's okay, as long as all of you are ok," Chase said concerned about his friend, he then heard his fathers' heavy breathing, "Here dad, let me help you," he said and hurried over to Riku and took Alex from him.

"Thanks Alex," he breathed and then looked and Roxas/Adya "Is everything ok with you? We were worried when you or Namine didn't come out right away," Riku said just as a bunch of heartless and nobodies appeared before them.

"I'll explain everything later. You two need to get back to the ship; I'll be there as soon as I seal this world!" Roxas yelled and summoned Oathkeeper to his hand.

"But…," Chase started to say and was cut off.

"No Chase, Roxas is right. With these two we can't really help and the only way to stop all this is to seal the keyhole again. Roxas be careful," Riku said.

"I will don't worry, I will," Roxas said and took care of the heartless and nobodies around them and then started off towards the woods again to find the keyhole.

"Good luck!" Chase yelled as he ran off to get back to the ship.

While Chase and Riku made their way to the ship Roxas was currently running towards where he hoped where the keyhole was. He didn't even know what world this was and none of them had seen anything besides heartless and nobodies the whole time they had been there. He was running around the forest when he fell down a rabbit hole and landed rather badly in a hallway of some sort. He followed the hallway and it lead to a room where the only way out was to leave through where he had entered. He heard someone snoring and looked around the room for this person, but what he found doing all the snoring wasn't a person but rather a door knob. Roxas as confused as ever bent down and tapped on the door.

"Oi! You're much too big to come through here. There is a potion on the table over there, take it and then talk to me," the talking door knob said rather rudely.

"Ok," he said and picked himself off the floor and walked over to the table where there lie two potion bottles. He looked at them both and one said "shrink" and the other "grow" he picked up the one that said shrink and took a gulp of it. He felt a wave of ice pass over him and watched as the room grew around him. "That was defiantly weird," he said and walked back up to the door knob where instead of him knocking on it the lock on it that formed his mouth started to glow and formed the keyhole that he was looking for. He summoned Oathkeeper to his hand and pointed it at the keyhole and a beam of light shot out from the tip of his keyblade and shot into the keyhole locking the world from the heartless and hopefully protected it from the nobodies. He climbed up the table to get to the potions, he ran to the one that said grow and drank some. It felt like he had drunken pure fire and watched the room shrink around him. With Oathkeeper still in hand he proceeded to go back to the ship. He made it back to the forest area when the pathway keyhole appeared in the sky and he unlocked it and started running to the ship, at least in the direction he hoped the ship was. After what seemed like forever he saw the ship and joy filled him, knowing that he had made it, and entered the ship where he was greeted by Riku and Chase.

"Welcome back," Riku said as Roxas collapsed as soon as the ships door had closed.

"Thanks," Roxas said out of breath.

"How's Adya doing?" Chase asked worried about his friends well being.

"I don't know, hold on," Roxas said and closed his eyes to talk to Namine.

He appeared on the other side of the room and saw that Namine was over by the couch with Adya still laying on it.

"Nam, how is she doing?" he asked and Namine just shook her head and responded, "Not good. It looks like she's having some sort of nightmare, but I can't gain access to her dream to stop it," she said sadly.

"Don't worry, she's a tough girl. I'm sure she'll be fine," Roxas said confidently and nodded to Namine and went back out to relay the information to Riku and Chase. He looked at both of them, "She's still sleeping, but she's having some sort of nightmare and Namine and I can't gain access there to stop it, so all we can do now is wait," he said to them and then faltered a bit.

Chase caught him before he could fall to the ground, "you ok?" Chase asked worried.

"Yeah, I just used too much energy today. I don't think I can be out much longer. It's kind of like when Namine first came out, Adya had completely drained herself of energy and Nam had to draw on her own energy while she was out and that's why she left so abruptly that time, and I've been drawing on mostly my own energy this whole time and I'm just about out to run ou…," Roxas had tried to explain what was happening as he was forced back in and Adya came back out. Chase who hadn't moved too far from when Roxas almost fell caught Adya before she could hit the ground, and carried her to her room so she could rest. Before he left the room he looked back at Adya and said, "Please be alright Adya. I care too much about you to lose you," and with that said he left the room without noticing the dark aura surrounding her.

Roxas materialized in their shared subconscious and collapsed to his knees feeling exhausted for the first time in 19 years. He had pushed himself to far trying to explain what would happen before he was forced back. Namine hurried over to him understanding how tired he was and helped him to his room and bed. "Thanks…Nam," mumbled Roxas who was practically asleep already. Namine smiled at Roxas, "you're welcome, Roxas," she said and saw that he had fallen asleep and walked back out to the living room area.

-Adya's dream from the time she passed out-

Adya was wondering around, it was pitch black and she had no idea how long she had even been there. There was nothing, no one, no sound, just a black void. She walked around hoping that she could somehow find a source of light. She wondered around for what seemed to be forever and heard something that sounded like flames and a creepy laugh.

"Who's there!?" Adya yelled into the darkness.

"Muahahahahahaha!! I see that you have as much spunk as your father. How would you like to work by my side? We could rule over all the worlds together," this mystery voice said.

"What are you talking about? And who are you?" Adya yelled not sure where the voice was coming from since it sounded like it was coming from everywhere.

"Oh, very well, if it will get you to answer me," the voice said and a bunch of torches lit up with eerie green flames. Adya looked around to see who this person was that was talking to her. She saw this person on the other side of what she thought was a room and this person addressed her again, "My name is Maleficent. Now I shall ask you again would you work by my side and rule the worlds?" Maleficent asked again with impatience seeping into her voice.

"No!! I'll never join you!!" Adya screamed at the witch.

"You silly little girl, you are just like your father. Look around you all of your friends have abandoned you. As for Riku and Chase they are only coming with you so they could find Sora and Alex and now that they have done that they will leave you as well. I won't abandon you," Maleficent said determined to get Adya on her side.

"They wouldn't leave me!" Adya shouted at her.

"Oh yeah, well look at this," Maleficent said as she raised her staff and a greenish black mist came from it and surrounded Adya.

The green mist faded and Adya took a look around her. She saw all of her friends, Riku, Isabella, her parents, Roxas, and Namine standing all together glaring at her.

"You're the reason why we're dead!!" Sora and Alex yelled at her.

"You poor girl, you actually thought that we were going on this journey to help you save the worlds. All you ended up being was a pain in the rear," Riku said bitterly.

"No, this isn't real…it can't be," Adya cried.

"I never liked you, I can't believe that I had to pretend that I did," Chase said and turned so his back was to her. Then slowly they all turned around and started to fade one by one until she was once again alone.

"No, please don't leave me," Adya cried out and sank down to her knees openly crying now.

"See all of them left you. I however will never abandon you," she said holding her hand out for Adya to take.

Adya saw Maleficent standing there with her hand out waiting for her to take it. She started to reach for it when she heard a voice in what seemed like the wind blowing past her, and the voice said, "Please be alright Adya. I care too much about you to lose you," and then it faded back to nothing.

Hearing Chase's voice reignited her drive and she withdrew her hand and shouted, "I'll never join you, now get out of my head!" and she pushed Maleficent out of her dream and she was released from where she was being held.

-End dream-
- In Adya's shared subconscious-

After being released from Maleficent's dream prison she appeared in her subconscious mind where she saw Namine but not Roxas.

"Namine? Where's Roxas?" she asked confused.

"Adya you're up! Oh, Roxas is asleep; he practically drained himself of all his energy when he was in control earlier. What happened to you? I saw you having a nightmare but I couldn't wake you up," Namine said.

"Yeah, I sensed that too before I passed out," Roxas said with a tired voice.

The two girls walked over to Roxas who was leaning rather heavily against the door frame to his room. Adya looked apprehensive at what she was about to tell them, she took a deep breath to calm down and then began to tell them what happened.

"When I passed out I was flung into this room that was completely dark. I wondered around for a while I have no idea how long when I heard something that sounded like flames and then a laugh. This person introduced herself as Maleficent and she wanted me to take over and rule the worlds with her. I refused and she trapped me in this void where it had all of my friends, Riku, mom, dad, the both of you, and Alex. You were all telling me that I was useless and that I was never any of your friends and the only reason why you pretended to be my friend and protect me was to find dad and Alex," Adya said crying so hard that Roxas and Namine had a hard time even understanding what she was saying and Adya just kept telling her story, "then you all faded away leaving me alone and Maleficent appeared again saying that she would never leave me if I would join her…I almost did, but then I heard Chase's voice saying how much he cares about me and I refused to join her and forced her out of my head," Adya finished now crying on Roxas's shoulder and Namine rubbing her back to comfort her.

"Shhh…it's okay Adya. What you did was very brave not many people would be able to do what you did. Many people would have given into the darkness put in your position. I think that Sora would be proud at what you did today," Roxas said in a soft voice.

"Roxas is right Adya, not many people have a heart so pure that they could deny the darkness when it was so overwhelming. That's not an easy task to accomplish," Namine said still rubbing Adya's back to help calm her down, and soon Adya cries died down and her breathing evened out as she fell asleep against Roxas's shoulder. Roxas just smiled and gave a little mental push to eject her from their subconscious to her conscious mind where she slept peacefully for the rest of the night. With everything that had happened in the last several hours Roxas felt even more exhausted than before, he got up and walked back to his room to get more sleep, leaving Namine in the living room to watch over Adya.

-Real World-

The next morning Adya woke up the next morning in her bed confused at first since she remembered being in her subconscious last. She got out of bed and headed out to the main part of the ship. As she was walking around looking for Riku and Chase she passed the view screen to the worlds and saw that they had left the world that they used to be on and now were in the worlds pathway but they weren't going anywhere. She saw that the light in the kitchen was on and there was a faint smell of pancakes filling the whole ship. She was still nervous about what had happened yesterday, but sensing Namine and Roxas helped ease her fear.

"If you want one of us can tell them what happened?" Roxas spoke up knowing why she was hesitating.

'Thanks Roxas, but I think I should do this. It's probably the best way for me to get over this,' Adya though back as she took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Adya, you're just in time for breakfast," Chase said as he brought the pancakes to the table.

"Morning Chase, Riku. Chase did you make breakfast?" Adya said remembering one of the time when both their families ate breakfast together and Riku had made breakfast and it had tasted…well some things were best forgotten.

"Yeah Adya, don't worry. I don't think dad would even think about going near the stove unless he had to," Chase laughed and Riku pouted at the two teens' antics. However Riku had noticed how tense Adya was even if she was doing a pretty good job at hiding it from both of them.

Adya sat down at the table and decided that now was as good as time as any to tell them what had happened. She sighed again and she noticed that she was doing this a lot lately and said, "I-I have something I need to tell you. It's about what happened yesterday," she said softly and nervously.

"What is it? It can't be that bad…can it?" Riku asked concerned.

"After I passed out yesterday I was transported to some sort place in my dream, where I was confronted by some witch who called herself, Maleficent, and she wanted me to join her and help her take over the worlds. When I refused she created a vision where it showed: the both of you, Isabella, my parents, Alex, Roxas, Namine, and all of my friends. You were all saying that you were never my friend and that you didn't care what happened to me as long as you found dad and Alex's bodies, and that I was the reason that Alex and dad are dead. Then you all slowly faded away leaving me alone and then Maleficent reappeared and offered her proposal to me again and I almost took it, but then I heard your voice, Chase, telling me how much you care about me and that helped me to refuse the witch and throw her out of my mind," Adya said she was crying again but not as bad as when she told Roxas and Namine.

"Hmmm…this could be a potential problem. You see you two, Sora and I dealt with her when we first started our adventures. After the islands were destroyed Kairi, Sora, and were separated and well… Maleficent did almost the same thing with me, but unlike you, Adya, I wasn't as strong as you were. I gave into the darkness, and it almost destroyed the friendship between Sora and I, but for some reason Sora myself never gave up on me. He ended up saving both Kairi and myself in the end. Sora had a remarkably strong heart and it looks like that's a trait that he passed on to you," Riku said as he watched Chase walk up to Adya and pull her close after she had finished saying what had happened to her, and continued to comfort her as he told his story.

"Thanks Riku, Chase," Adya said and they all went back to their breakfast.

After breakfast they decided to go back to the islands so they could bring back Sora's and Alex's bodies home and tell Kairi and Isabella what's going on with everything that has been happening so far.

-World That Never Was in the Castle That Never Was-

Axel was in his room like he usually was when he didn't have to listen to one of Xemnas's boring and ridiculously long speeches about taking Kingdom Hearts, and destroying the current key barer. Honestly he really didn't care what happened about Kingdom Hearts; he just wanted his friend back. He couldn't wait to be out of this god forsaken place. While he contemplated remodeling the pure white walls in his room and dark portal opened and Zexion and Demyx both walked out of it.

"We're leaving now. We have to get to the outskirts of this world before we portal out that way it will be harder for the others to find us," Zexion said.

"Well it's about time, I'm bored as hell in this place," Axel said as all three of them started to leave the castle and Zexion finished telling them his plan.

"Ok, when we get to the outskirts we will each portal to a different world keep portaling to other worlds and we will meet each other at Wonderland. We'll figure out where we go from there," Zexion said as they continued walking. Unfortunately they passed a hallway and Xigbar saw them and portaled to alert all the others. When the three of them reached the exit to the castle they saw that the nine other members that were left in the Organization were at the entrance/exit to the castle so they could capture the three traitors.

"Well, well, well, look at what we have us here, three nobodies that think that they're better than everyone else. Your insolence will not go unpunished this time you three. Well what do you three have to say for yourselves?" Xemnas said.

"Yeah, I have one thing to say to you all; see ya!" Zexion yelled and raised his arm and a bright light erupted from his hand and when the light faded the nine members that were hindering their progress were gone and the only thing that showed that were even there were nine pieces of paper, because they had been turned into pages for a book.

"Nice job, Zexion," Axel said impressed since he didn't think Zexion would do that no matter what side he was on.

"Thanks but it won't last long since I didn't seal them into my book so we have to move now!" he said and they all broke out in a run to the end of the world where they each portaled to a different world. After they left the others were released from their paper prison.

They met up in Wonderland where Sora and Alex had been killed and noticed that their bodies were no longer there, so they could only assume Riku and the two teens traveling with him had been there and were now taking them home. They talked about it for a few minutes before deciding to head to Destiny Islands, hoping that Riku and the others would be willing to listen to them and not kill them before they even had a chance to explain themselves. When they got there they checked to see where Kairi and Isabella were and saw that Riku and the two teens weren't there so they decided to wait until they got there, praying that it would be safer that way.
