Mr.Who2123: Okay, I've just gotten out of my writer's block…again, and am on my way to explaining everything that happened.
Roxas: Took you long enough.
Mr.Who2123: I know…oh, and I own nothing related to Kingdom Hearts…except my ideas for this story.
Roxas: BEGIN!!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Demyx was laying on one of the old couches, snoring. The four kids were off doing something fun, and he decided to get some beauty sleep.
"Demyx?" Axel whispered, standing next to his sleeping friend. However, Demyx was fast asleep, and didn't hear him. Then, the flame wielder smiled deviously. "Time for some good old-fashioned tricks to get a laugh out of myself." First, Axel grabbed a feather on the floor. It was a long, dark brown feather, and curved lightly to the side as it moved up. Perfect, he thought, smiling at it.
Next in Axel's plan, he needed something gross and squishy. The red haired Nobody happened to chance a glance of a bottle of super glue. He rubbed his hands together and swiped the bottle up with a hand. Axel then snuck up to the sleeping Demyx, who was sleeping on his back. His right hand dangled off of the edge of the couch, and the other was on his stomach. A small wet line of drool fell from his mouth, and down his chin.
Axel snickered at the sight, and knelt down next to the dangling hand. He moved it so the palm was facing upwards, and then squeezed the glue out of the bottle and onto it. The white substance fell all over his gloved hand, until it was almost completely white and sticky. Then, Axel grabbed the brown feather he found. With practiced strokes, Axel brushed the feather across his nose, back and forth until Demyx grimaced.
Still asleep, the Nobody automatically lifted his glued hand, and tried itching his tickled nose. Axel started snickering when it got stuck, and Demyx woke up.
"Wha- why is my hand on my face?" he groaned, and tried moving it off. However it was in vain and Axel laughed quite a bit louder.
"My hand is stuck to my face!!!!!" Demyx screamed jumping out of the couch. He tried prying it off with his other hand, but it got sticky as well. Now Demyx was left with both hands on his face, and his voice was muffled due to the hands covering it.
"Mfffffffffff!!!!" Demyx shrieked, running in circles. Axel was on the floor, pounding his fists on the dirt floor. He felt like his sides would burst from so much laughing. Sudden footsteps immediately ended the fun fiasco, and Axel turned to the entryway of the hideout. Hayner, Pence, and Olette appeared from the left, and were panting heavily.
"Axel! Roxas got…consumed by a…tidal wave!" Pence yelled. Axel raised one eyebrow and looked at the boy as if he was crazy.
"What are you talking about?" Axel asked in return, confused.
"It's true! I don't know how, but he disappeared!!" Olette shouted as well. Axel thought for a moment, still very puzzled, and then noticed something black down by the sandlot.
"Stay here, kids. Demyx and I are going to check to see what that is," Axel said calmly, pointing to it. The kids nodded, and the two Nobodies made their way through the town to the sandlot. While running, Axel burned away all of the glue so Demyx was back to normal. As they approached the lot, Demyx made his sitar appear, while Axel did the same with his wheels.
Then the two found out what the giant black thing was. A giant Heartless stood over them, still suffering from the wounds Roxas had given it earlier. It was bent over and swaying as if it was breathing heavily.
"What is that Greasie?" Demyx asked, taking a step back.
"It's a really big Heartless. C'mon Demyx, we can take it," Axel replied, definitely more confident, and threw a spiked wheel at the thing. It took the blow with full force, and took a step back. Then, the Heartless aimed a punch at Demyx. The Nobody jumped away just in time, and then summoned water clones. The figures simultaneously attacked it, by banging their water sitars on it. The Heartless easily swiped them away with a fist, and tried another punch, except towards Axel.
Axel rolled away from the humongous fist, and threw a wheel above the Heartless. Then, it suddenly stopped above its head, yet it was still spinning fast. Then, Axel chucked his other one at the Heartless' feet. It stopped right next to one, and spun in its place like the last.
Axel smirked and jumped onto the Heartless' arm. It tried punching the clever Nobody, but he was too fast. He jumped from the shoulder onto its head, higher and higher, until it was on the top. The Heartless shook its head madly, trying to shake off Axel. Axel had to kneel down on one knee and hold onto the Heartless to not fall off. After a moment of calming himself, Axel jumped into the air, above the spinning wheel, and shot a flame at it. The wheel took the fire, and spun faster and faster, until it was only a blur. Fire surrounded the wheel, blazing intensely.
Then, the wheel shot a blast of fire, ten times the power of Axel's, right to the one below the Heartless. The monster roared as it was caught in a huge vortex of fire.
Demyx watched the spectacle with wide eyes. How come I can't do a cool move like that? He wondered sadly. After a couple minutes of blazing fire crisping the Heartless, the wheels stopped spinning. Then, they flew over to Axel, who was still in the air, and the Nobody caught them. Axel landed on the Heartless' head once again, breathing heavily from the strong attack.
The Heartless swayed forward, nearly dead, ready to fall. Axel jumped off of the head, and landed safely next to Demyx. The Heartless landed with a huge crash, yet somehow didn't wreck any buildings nearby. Then, it disintegrated slowly, with wisps of black floating into the air.
"Well, that was easy!" Axel exclaimed proudly, letting his weapons disappear. Demyx let his sitar disappear in a flash as well, and they stood there, watching the Heartless fade.
"But, Greasie, why was it here? I mean, didn't Heartless go away after Xemnas died?" Demyx asked. Axel just scratched his head.
"I'm not sure, Demyx," he replied.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Roxas woke up slowly, still confused of what had happened earlier. Everything had been so crazy for him; a giant wave, a giant Heartless appearing, Fiara and the Keyblades he needs to get. All of it was just scrambled in his head. There was no rhyme or reason for anything that had happened. Roxas knew that the Heartless left after Xemnas died, and a big one just randomly appears in a town. Someone must have gotten control of the Heartless. Could it be Maleficent? She had retired as an evil witch though, and lives peacefully in the Castle of Hollow Bastion.
Roxas just groaned painfully and stood up. He'd think about it later when he wasn't in such a mess. The Nobody looked around. It was completely black, just like the place where he'd seen Fiara when he was asleep. Roxas sighed.
"Why am I always in dark places? Can't an evil place be on a tropical island or something?" he sighed, walking aimlessly. He couldn't even see the floor, much less, where he was going.
While shuffling himself forward, Roxas noticed a door. It was tall and bright blue, standing in the middle of darkness. Roxas ran for the tall door, getting even more confused. Now there's a giant random door. Great, this makes things a lot more clear, Roxas thought sarcastically. When he made it to the door, he slowed to a stop. Roxas tried to open it, but the door was locked, unmoving. Roxas, unable to think of anything else to do, grabbed his Keyblade in a flash of light. Then, he pointed it at the lock, and a thin beam of light went straight into the keyhole. Roxas heard the lock click, and he put his Keyblade down. With no lock, the door slowly went ajar, and Roxas promptly opened it.
However, inside was an army of Heartless. He just unlocked the door that Riku, Sora, and Mickey had tried so hard to close forever. Roxas had to jump out of the way as Heartless burst from the door, and into the black of everything else. They didn't even care to fight Roxas as they were just glad to be free.
"What have I done?" the Nobody moaned, falling back against the door. The Heartless were all gone, and he closed the door, relocking it. He slowly fell down the door until he was sitting, with his Keyblade next to him.
"Good job, Number 13," a cold voice said behind him. Roxas whirled on the voice, and was face to face with Xemnas himself. The man was in his black and white robes, and his arms were crossed.
"So it was you who summoned that big Heartless and took me here to open this door, am I right?" Roxas yelled furiously. The ex-Organization member immediately stood up, with his Wandering Protector in his hand. His fist tightly clenched the handle, shaking with anger.
"Yes, I used my new power to have that wave bring you to Twilight Town, and to summon the giant Heartless so it could bring you into this darkness. Like I planned you have freed all the Heartless. Now you have to kill them all or the worlds will never be at peace," Xemnas said, smirking. "And when you have, Kingdom Hearts will be complete once again." Roxas' rage built as he glared at the one who used to be his Superior.
"I'll kill you!" Roxas screamed, and slashed at Xemnas. However, he jumped away and let his light sabers appear in his hands. They seemed to shoot out of his long sleeves as his hand couldn't be seen.
"Face it Number 13, you were made to serve me! We are after the same thing," Xemnas said in his unusually calm voice. Roxas didn't hesitate to attack him, though, and sent a vertical slice towards him. Xemnas jumped away lithely, and floated above him.
"Shut up! You want Kingdom Hearts for yourself only, and you will kill anyone who gets in your way!" Roxas shouted back, and leapt up towards his ex-Superior. Their blades clashed in a spark of light, and Roxas kept trying to get a hit on Xemnas. They fought in the air, Roxas attacking as hard as he could, while Xemnas easily blocked them, smiling deviously the whole time. Xemnas ducked from a horizontal slice, and sliced Roxas. He yelled in pain, and fell to the floor where he clutched his stomach in pain.
"We are not that different. As I'd kill anyone in my way, you killed one of my members who got in your way," Xemnas replied. He lowered himself to the floor, standing tall above Roxas. The younger Nobody got up on his knees with his Keyblade right in front of him.
"Even if you kill me again, Kingdom Hearts is now on my side. There's no chance for you," Xemnas said. He withdrew his light sabers and held a hand out to Roxas. Roxas thought over the situation he was in. Is Xemnas really right? He wondered, glancing at the gloved hand close by. Roxas slowly lifted his hand up to his ex-Superior's, almost scared to accept the hand.
Roxas suddenly summoned his Keyblade and slashed the hand of Xemnas'. He grunted in pain and jumped away.
"You can't accept the truth that you can't win," Xemnas said, redrawing his blades. "We have the same ideals of regaining our hearts."
"No," Roxas said softly back. He stood up, his head looking down at his Keyblade. Then his voice got considerably louder the more he talked. "We're not the same! I only killed Marluxia because he would kill me if he had a chance!" He then dashed for Xemnas as fast as he could. Xemnas, with one wounded arm, lifted his other to block as Roxas thrust his blade upon him. There were flashes of sparks as the two each tried to overpower the other with their blades.
Xemnas' eyes widened when Roxas' clothes turned to red in a flash of light.
"Valor form?" he wondered out loud. With the Kingdom Key in Roxas' other hand, he slashed at Xemnas' open stomach. The Organization leader was forced to jump away once again and withdraw his blades. With his good hand covering his wound, and the other hanging limply, Xemnas was defenseless.
"You win this time Number 13," he muttered, and disappeared into a portal of darkness. Somehow, his voice rang throughout the darkness even though he wasn't there. "But you will lose in the end." Roxas stared in the direction Xemnas just was, as if he were still there.
Suddenly, there was an immense light on the floor, brighter than any light ever before. Roxas returned back to his normal form and covered his eyes with his arms. The light below him grew and grew until feet were in it. Slowly, he was sinking down into the light. Roxas kept trying to look down and see the light that was dragging him below, but when he was only down to about his waist, he gave up; the light was too powerful.
As minutes passed by in blinding light, Roxas felt himself change from moving down, to up again. Was he going back in the dark place? As the light died down again, Roxas dared to look around.
He was sitting down in the middle of the sandlot, with hundreds of other people. He instantly recognized them as the people caught in the darkness during the battle with the big Heartless, and sighed in relief.
"Roxas!" he heard behind him. Axel, Demyx, Pence, Hayner, and Olette were all behind him, running as fast as they could towards him.
"Roxie's okay!!" Demyx shouted especially loud, and everyone laughed. Roxas didn't have enough energy to even care, and just stood up. Instantly he was surrounded by his worried friends, sabotaging him in millions of questions.
"What happened after the wave?"
"Did you know there was this BIG Heartless thing?"
"You look hurt!"
"Did you fight someone?"
"Why are all these people here?"
"Did you know Greasie tortured me while you were gone?"
"One at a time!!" Roxas yelled over everyone. His friends died down slowly, and waited for Roxas to answer the questions. "Okay, I somehow made it into Twilight Town after the wave got me, yes I fought the big Heartless, and it won, I'm hurt because I just fought Xemnas and the big Heartless, these people are here because the big Heartless thing dragged them into darkness and now they're back, and no I didn't know Axel tortured you."
Everyone stared at Roxas, taking in the quickly relayed information.
"We should get some rest," Pence blurted, and put his hands behind his head. With everyone nodding in agreement, the group started heading for the usual spot.
"Hey, can I see if my house is here?" Roxas asked along the way. Immediately, the Nobody turned right towards the larger houses of the town. "I lived in a big apartment building," he explained. They passed the candy and accessory shop, and Roxas remembered good times with the owners. Sighing, he turned his head back to his destination, and slowed at a building.
"Roxas," Olette said suddenly. "This is an abandoned building. No one has been in it for years."
"Well then more room for us!" Axel answered, and opened the door. Roxas smiled and entered the building with everyone else.
Inside was a big living room with a couple couches in the middle.
"Sweet! This could be our new hideout!" Hayner shouted. He threw himself on a couch, and put his hands behind his head.
"Yeah, it's much nicer, and no one even knows much about this place anymore," Pence said as well, examining the other things in the room. There were drawers with nothing in them and empty photo frames.
"I remembered this place as a big apartment place. My room was up here," Roxas said, pointing to the stairs. "C'mon, follow me." The group walked up the stairs, which made creaking noises as is it was complaining against the visitors. Once they made it up the stairs, there was a long, thin hallway which led right.
Instinctively, Roxas followed the stairs, and opened the third door on the left.
"Wow, I guess you did used to live here," Olette remarked. Inside was a small couch, colored light beige, facing towards a small TV. A couple lamps were in corners of the room, and to the left was an area for a kitchen. There was a fridge on the very left, then an oven, a sink, and lastly a stove. They were all matching silver, and pots and pans were carelessly on the counter tops.
"On the door next to the kitchen is a bathroom, and the room right of the living room is my bedroom," Roxas said, and led them into his room. It was pretty small for a bedroom, but it had a nice and cozy feeling to it. There was a bed with red sheets, and an amazing view of lights through the window. On the window was a small pot of pink flowers, flourishing in the sun.
"Wow, I like the place," Axel remarked, nodding approvingly. Everyone agreed, and Roxas smiled.
"Why don't you all pick an apartment room to sleep in for the night?" Roxas suggested. Everyone was obviously tired, and agreed. They all left Roxas to his own apartment room, where he took a log gaze at his rooms.
It almost feels like I never left this place, he thought, sighing happily, and promptly went to bed.
