Chapter 8 Friendly Competition
(Xion POV)
We were on the training grounds; Axel and I were on the field.
"Ready for this Xion?" Axel asked.
"I am," I said.
Soon we were fighting it out but I guess it was tie.
"Who knew you could do that with the Light and Darkness combined? You're a natural," Axel said.
"Thanks your fire powers are still as great as ever and you're getting better at it. Meaning you could back someone to a corner with it," I said.
"That's nice to know how my friends are doing," Axel said, "Hey do you know where to get some sea-salt ice cream?"
"Honestly, none of the ice cream shops here sells any," I said.
"What a bummer," Axel said.
"Hey Axel, I'm a bit worried," I said.
"About what?" Axel asked.
"How I fainted," I said, "I think I might be absorbing Roxas' memories of Sora again."
"You might be?" Axel asked.
"Maybe, do you think you might be able to check if I did?" I asked.
"Sure," Axel said.
(Raven POV)
"What are you doing with Xion?" I asked.
"I'm just going to check to see if Xion is okay that's all," Axel said.
"Do you want Cyborg to help you?" I asked as Xion walked into a tube.
"No, I'll be fine with it," Axel said as he began to work on it.
Then I was watching the screen as well as Axel, what was he looking for? Something strange happened though. Sometimes some things would come up and blur and disappear. What was that all about? Soon Xion came out, a bit groggy but she was still fine.
"Well, what happened Axel?" Xion asked.
"There were some of his memories, but they disappeared, so maybe then they went back to Roxas," Axel said, "You're okay."
"That's good," Xion said, "If that is still happening, then Roxas will be endangered again. I just don't want him to be in danger."
"What do you mean?" Robin asked.
"Robin, what I'm saying is that I hold a power I never wanted to use in the first place," Xion said, "I can catch or absorb Roxas' memories until I can take his power for my own. That separated us from each other, I still remember it all, but he doesn't want to remember a thing."
"Don't worry, he'll come to his senses soon enough, just give him some time," Axel said.
"But what if it's too late?" Xion asked.
"Don't worry," I said, "We'll always find a way to reverse it."
(Roxas/XIII POV)
"You failed to defeat her?" Slade asked.
"What else could I do, my head was hurting," I said.
"Do you know the reason why XIII?" Slade asked.
"No I don't," I lied when it was really her memories trying to get into me.
"Fair enough," Slade said, "go find her and finish her."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Find the girl with the two keyblades, and end her life," Slade said.
"Of course sir," I said, leaving.
Roxas, I'm out of time.
"Who's there?" I asked.
You've poured so many memories into me, given me so much that I feel like I'm about to overflow.
Wait it sounded familiar.
You're next Roxas, I have to make you a part of me to, don't you see? This is why I was created.
Of course it was familiar, she told me herself.
All those hearts I've captured, Kingdom Hearts, set them free.
I never was able to keep that promise.
Good-bye Roxas, see you again. I'm glad I got to meet you. Oh and of course Axel too, you're both my best friends, never forget. That's the truth.
I forgot that, and now, I'm against her.
"Who else will I have ice cream with?" I said, "Xion."
No matter what, it has happened again, one of us will have to be forgotten.
