Before we begin, I'm gonna give a quick shout out to two people: Antex-The Legendary Zoroark and coolmegan123. Those two have supported this story since day one, and I greatly appreciate it. Thanks you two, and everyone else that takes the time out of their days to read my content.

Now, enough me. Continue on.

"Are you sure that this is the best option?" Kirux asked.

"If Sora is ever to awaken, we must return and replace all of his memories. If his Nobody and this puppet you and Namine speak of are the ones that contain those missing memories, they must be brought here immediately."

"Okay, but what about Axel? He'd get suspicious if all three of us just up and disappeared."

DiZ scoffed, "The third will not get in the way. If he does, you or Riku will have to deal with it accordingly."

"You mean defeat him. Right?"

DiZ turned around in his chair, "That won't be a problem, will it?"

Kirux looked away, muttering, "No. It won't."

"Good. Now, we should deal with this puppet you spoke of as quickly as possible."

"You want to bring her here now? That won't work. She wouldn't understand or listen."

"That's not my plan."

"Then what exactly is your plan, DiZ? You're not giving me anything."

DiZ shook his head, "Don't act stubborn. We simply must branch her off of her current path and onto a new one. We'll have to make her question her own existence."

Kirux was surprised, "Why's that?"

"If she starts to gain questions, she will search to find out the true meaning of her existence."

"And when she does, the job will be yours to guide her on the new path."

"The path towards us." Kirux said, taking this all in.

"Correct." DiZ said.

Kirux thought for a little on this new task DiZ was putting forth to him.

...

'So, we're going to lead Xion away from the Organization and to us. Then, we can get back Sora's memories from her.'

'But, then what? What will DiZ and Riku do to her? What will Namine do to her memory if the memories of Kairi are removed from Xion?'

'Would Xion forget about me? About Roxas? Axel too? Or will she...disappear?'

'I've got so many questions that can't be answered.'

'But if Xion has to be destroyed so we can get the memories back, then I'd...'

...

He stopped thinking about that and went back to DiZ.

"Okay. So tell me, how are we going to get her off of the "path" that she's already on?"

DiZ didn't respond. Instead, Riku did as he entered the room.

"You can leave that to me."

"When did you get here?"

"Doesn't matter. DiZ, the trap is set. Your plan's about to start."

Kirux didn't like where this was going, "Wait a minute. What sort of trap?"

DiZ turned around again, "You will see soon enough. Go now. We must be prepared if anything unexpected happens."

Riku nodded, summoning a portal. He motioned towards Kirux, "Come on. I'm gonna need your help for this."

Kirux was confused, "Umm...okay. Can I ask why?"

"You'll see."

Riku walked through. Kirux was extremely suspicious, but he complied and followed.

DiZ shook his head, "The Nobody has a connection to the puppet."

He looked towards his computer screens. There was a picture of Kirux standing there on one of the screens, his data displayed on the side.

"I hope that I don't have to sever that connection myself."

Entered New World: Beasts' Castle


When Riku and Kirux exited the portal, Kirux's confusion only continued to grow. They were in Beasts' Castle, a world Kirux had only been to a few times.

"What are we here?"

"This world is where we've set the trap for the Organization." Riku said, beginning to walk forward.

"Are you gonna tell me what the trap is?" Kirux asked as he hurried to catch up.

"One of the Organization members is going to come here and try to eliminate me. I'm posing as an imposter."

Kirux was surprised, again, "Eliminate you."

"Try to. They're not going to succeed."

Kirux stopped there, just as Riku reached the door to the bridge. He was a little frustrated on how he was being left in the dark about all of this.

"Wait a second. What does any of this have to do with me? And why didn't you let me know about this sooner?"

Riku turned around, "You are going to stay here and make sure nobody gets through these doors. No Heartless, Nobodies, or people. Got it?"

"As for why you're not being told is not my call. Talk to DiZ about that."

Kirux looked down, trying to hide his anger and frustration.

"Fine. Just go. I'll be here."

Riku nodded, opening the door to the bridge and advancing. Kirux started pacing back and forth, although his attitude and expression did not change.

"Why don't they trust me?" He said with an angry tone, "I've done nothing but do what they say, when they say it. I've followed every order, every command."

Darkness was starting to envelope around him, it even seeped into the ground, "Yet, all I get is being left in the dark about what's happening. I can't talk about Sora around either of them, because all they do is tell me it's nothing I need to worry about."

More darkness seeped into the ground, starting to take form behind him like a shadow.

"It's like they don't think I'll go through with whatever they're planning."

Kirux then noticed the darkness on the ground, and his rambling stopped. He saw that it was making a path behind him.

He heard something rise from the ground. Something big.

He turned around, finding a large, dark figure standing before him. It had a really wavy head and large yellow eyes, similar to that of a Shadow.

"What the-," He started, but the thing started to bring it's fist down towards him. Kirux was able to roll between it's legs and dodge just before it made contact to where he was once standing.

"Alright then," Kirux said, summoning his sword, "If that's how you want to be."

The thing turned around, facing him once more.

Kirux ran up to it, jumped up, and layed out into the thing's hand. He struck it with two or three combos before the thing started to charge up energy into it's hand. It raised it behind up before slamming it into the ground, creating a massive, black vortex in the ground. Shadows started to form out of the ground in the area of the vortex.

Kirux ignored them mostly, as they just stood there and didn't do anything. He continued attacking the hand, until he jumped up onto the thing's arm. He ran up, striking the head once before the thing threw him off. He landed on his feet before it.

"Is that all you've got?" Kirux said, lifting his sword back up.

The thing then went to it's knees, charging dark energy into it's chest. It released one dark energy blast towards Kirux, but dodging it was nothing.

But then it shot out a second and third, both of them hitting Kirux. He was sent flying backwards, landing on his back.

He started to get up, but the thing was not done with the dark energy. It shot out again, but this time there were three energy bursts.

Kirux put his sword out, defending himself, but that only worked a little. He didn't get hit directly, but the shockwaves sent him back a little more. The thing had Kirux down in the middle of the courtyard.

Kirux stood up, his body weak.

"I'm...not gonna lose to...you." He said with a weak tone.

But when he lifted his sword, he watched as it faded away. He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and he was sent to his hands and knees.

'No. Not now.' He thought to himself.

The thing loaded another ball of energy into it's hand, and it brought it down towards Kirux.

'Well, this is it. Say goodbye to your meaningless existence, Kirux.'

He braced for the impact.

...

...

There was a flash of light.

...

...

The attack never came.

Instead, Kirux was stood behind the thing with his arm sticking out. The thing faded away.

Kirux stood up, and looked at what it was he held in his hand.

And he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw.

It was a Keyblade. It looked oddly similar to Soul Eater, but this was different. It had a white bird on the end, giving it the shape of the key.

Kirux was in disbelief.

"How?" Kirux said, holding it before him in both hands.

...

He had so many questions.

Why does he have it?

Why did it just show up right now?

And, how is he able to wield it?

...

He didn't have any time to think about it. He heard a loud scream come from the bridge.

The Keyblade faded away, and Kirux turned around. Riku was walking towards him, a blank look on his face.

"What happened out there?" Kirux asked, but Riku didn't respond.

"Who did that scream come from?!" Kirux asked again, only to be ignored again.

"Riku!" He said, as Riku exited through a portal.

'Great. Now he's ignoring me.'

Kirux was furious, but he shook his head. He ran towards the doors to the bridge, busting them open with his shoulder.

...

He saw a figure in a black coat lying on the ground, not moving. Kirux ran towards them, sliding to their side.

"Which one of us is it?" Kirux said to himself. He turned them onto their back, removing the hood.

...

At this point, nothing should really surprise Kirux anymore. But this still did.

It was Xion who was lying unconscious in Kirux's arms.

"No..." Kirux said quietly.

...

That was the trap DiZ mentioned. They were going to lure Xion to this place to try and eliminate Riku. Riku would then defeat her, and make her question her own existence and try and find out more.

Kirux had never been more angry.

He lifted Xion, summoning a portal back to the castle. They exited, just like they had not long ago in Hollow Bastion

She hadn't woken up yet.

Kirux had brought Xion back to her room as soon as they arrived back in the castle. He didn't bother telling Roxas and Axel, nor did he really care at the time.

All his mind was on was her safety, what Riku had done to her, and the Keyblade.

...

He was sitting in a chair, next to her bed. He hadn't left that spot since they had gotten back.

He held the Keyblade before him.

"Why?" He said, "Why can I wield the Keyblade?"

Kirux couldn't figure it out. It just appeared out of nowhere in his hand when he was fighting that Heartless. He didn't do anything that warranted the Keyblade coming to him.

He shook his head, letting the weapon fade away. His focus then went towards Xion.

...

He found himself staring at her. He could feel something inside tugging at him.

He raised his hand up to his chest, "Man, not now."

It was strange. This feeling never came around when he was alone or at the mansion.

It was only when he was around Xion did he have that feeling. The connection that he had noticed on the first day they two of them met.

...

He felt his hand reach for her own, grabbing it tightly.

"Xion," he said quietly, "I hope you can feel what I'm feeling."

"I swear, I won't let them hurt you again."


Short but sweet. That's what this chapter was.

Thanks for reading.
