"Shut up!" I demand. "I'm sick of your crap!" My fright turned to anger as Wayward Wind appears in my pale hands.

"Ventus, do you want to know to that friend of yours, Master Aqua?"

"How could you possibly have that information?" Xion-Xehanort gives off a small ,demonic chuckle. At that moment, I realize that her voice is slightly deeper than before. "Answer me!"

"I'm Xehanort, you know. I'm just borrowing this rude, useless girl's body for a little while. Well, until mine is finished reappearing into these worlds."

I look around me to see the horrible darkness around me is consuming my being. My pale hands attempt to grab something, but the black substance just slips through my fingers which are covered with dark gloves. "So, this is how it feels to fall into darkness." All the sudden, I realize that I'm back at Destiny Islands.

"Who are you?" I notice that Ven is beside me, staring rudely. His crystal blue eyes are the same, and his blonde hair is still arranged in spikes. For his clothing, Ven has on his usual attire. When I get up, I shove bits of sand off my normal clothes.

"Don't you remember? I'm Xion. Are you playing around with me Ven?"

"How did you know my name?"

"Yes...tell me." Something in my gut tells me this isn't right, yet I do it anyways. I want to know if Aqua and Terra are alright. "And tell me about Terra too."

"Ha, alright, it's your demand," Xion-Xehanort says. "Aqua is dead, and Terra has become one of the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness. In fact, he killed Aqua just like he did Eraqus. His heart has finally accepted darkness again as well." Ventus, don't believe him! I'm shocked that Vanitas is trying to help me. He's usually such a jerk. Come on, don't you be Xehanort's puppet like Terra was. I question why he desires to help me. Simple, I don't want to see that old coot win for I'm the one that deserves the X-blade and Kingdom Hearts!

"I don't believe you. You've no proof, and I highly doubt that Terra would ever lay a finger on her or join your side! I'm not an idiot!" I shout. Xion-Xehanort rolls her yellow eye, and then stares at me. Devilish intent is visible in them.

"Then explain the armor over there." I've no idea how that got there either, Ventus, so don't you dare ask me.

"...Xehanort, how can I trust a single word that comes out of your mouth! Because of all you did to my friends and I, I refuse to give into your mind games!" I summon Wayward Wind. My opponent looks at my black and gold key-shaped sword, and then a new keyblade appears in her hands. It's colored with black, white, and a little bit a blue. The thing that stands out the most to me is the goat head near the hilt.

"Alright, if you want to do this, you leave me no choice.

"No, not again! I'll not let this happen again!" I slam my fists in the sands below me as my knees land on it.

"...Xion, I think. Alright, Xion, please don't do this. Give into the darkness and all the memories will be restored."

"Really?" My voice is perked up. Because of the torture, I still can't think straight. The pain in my head lingers, and it hampers my ability to reason. "Are you really sure, Ven? You aren't the biggest fan of darkness."

"If you want me to, I'll bring the light back into your heart," he reassures me. I nod my head.

"I'll do it! So, how exactly does giving in work?"

There's a blizzard attack coming my way, and I quickly dodge it. Remembering the last time I got frozen, I really didn't want to be hit with anything. That was the most physical pain I felt in all my life. "Yield!"

"No!" I scream. A fury of darkness bullets come my way, and I dodge all of them. I use this time to attack. My keyblade bonks Xion-Xehanort on the head because of her setting up the next attack. "Like I said before, I won't listen to a word you say!"

"Let's see about that!" My opponent then stabs me in the stomach. An immense pain runs through my body, and I find myself closing my eyes. Ventus, are you seriously going to give up this easily? Now I've to show you how to do this. The last thing I see is a burst of green flames entering the room. Shortly after that, Maleficent is here, glaring at the girl with her.

This is going to be interesting now.

Before Ven can tell me anything, the islands disappear, so I continue to fall down the darkness. This time though, I didn't try to escape. Ven said this was the only way for people to remember me again after all.

A.N-Guys, the end is soon! :_( Well, Vanitas and Maleficent v.s. Xion-Xehanort, that's going to be one intriguing fight. Darkness versus darkness after all. And, Xion is going insane...NO!

Vanitas-You idiot, you do realize you can stop her suffering, right? You ARE the author of this story.

Requiem-Well, I hoped you enjoyed and please review. I'm going to teach Vanitas a thing or two about being a good person.
