No, I'm not abandoning my story's, No, I haven't forgotten then, and yes, this chapter is the last one before the epilogue : O

Chapter 10

Memory Skyscraper

Roxas glared at his ex-leader, Oblivion and Oathkeeper held tightly in his hands. Sora was looking slightly confused, but held his Keyblade at the ready.

"Who are you?" Sora asked, frowning at the man.

"You don't know?" He laughed lightly and said, "I am Xemnas. And I'll be the last thing you see before all the light is sucked out of you and you are forced to turn to the oblivion of the darkness."

"Not if I can help it!" Sora glared, then glanced at Roxas. The two nodded at each other, then charged towards Xemnas, their blades ready to come down on him. He simply looked bored, and the second before the blades hit him, he disappeared.

"WHA!?" Roxas and Sora smashed into each other and hit heads, before they fell to the ground on top of each other.

Behind them a tsking noise echoed. "I thought you were a Keyblade Master?" Xemnas' voice came from behind them.

"Who're you talking to?" Roxas asked, trying to untangle himself from Sora.

"Me or him?" Sora finished the sentence, squirming out from under Roxas.

"As you are the same person, I hardly think it matters." Xemnas said simply. He raised his hands, and matching light blades appeared in his hands.

"And as your going to be dead in a moment, I really don't think anything matters. Such a pity…the princess will be most upset…"

"What have you done with Naminé?!" Roxas shouted as Sora shouted, "What have you done with Kairi?!"

"Nothing…yet."

Xemnas charged at them, blades raised. Roxas jumped to the side while Sora used his Reflect spell.

The two Keyblade wielders spun around to face the leader of Organization XIII. Sora sent a ball of fire towards Xemnas, but he raised a hand and called a dark portal - the fireball simply went into it, not harming Xemnas.

Roxas ran towards Xemnas, Keyblades raised. He jumped in the air and was about to come down on him, when a transparent barrier came up and sent him flying.

Roxas fell flat on his back ten feet away, the wind knocked out of him. He sat up and struggled to catch his breath as Sora ran to Xemnas. He dodged the barrier, only to get hit by a second one.

Sora landed, his legs bent, and skidded a few feet back.

How do we beat him? Roxas thought frantically. He's so strong…and we aren't strong enough…

Stuck by a sudden idea, Roxas hopped to his feet and got near Sora.

"Sora," He said, loud enough for Sora to hear but quiet enough that Xemnas wouldn't. "We have to merge!"

"What?!" Sora shouted, giving Roxas and alarmed look. Xemnas attempted another swing at them, and they were forced to jump apart as they dodged it.

"We'll be stronger if we do!" Roxas shouted, twirling his Keyblades and sending lightning strikes at Xemnas, attempting to keep him far enough away that he could convince Sora.

"But…Roxas…" Sora started, letting his guard down.

"Sora!"

Xemnas had teleported behind Sora and swung his laser. Sora managed to get Reflect up, but a second to late - there was a gash on his back from the laser.

"There's no time to argue!" Roxas told Sora, throwing his Keyblade like a boomerang at Xemnas.

"But Roxas…what about Naminé…?"

Roxas gave Sora a small smirk. "I'll be able to see her again someday…but until then…Sora, tell her I love her."

Xemnas threw a dark ball between the two, the blast causing them to fly in different directions, leaving a crater in the ground.

Roxas landed on the ground with a groan, his head hitting the stone ground. Across from him, Sora landed on the stairs, hitting his head sharply on a step.

Roxas recovered quicker then Sora, who turned his head and spat out blood. Sora looked a little woozy as he struggled to stand up.

"Sora!" Roxas shouted. "We have to do it NOW!"

Xemnas threw another dark ball, but this time it hit an inch away from Sora. He got blasted up the stairs more from the impact, his clothes torn and gashes bleeding.

"You know what to tell Naminé!" Roxas shouted as Sora got to his knees. "So let's end the Organization - now!"

Sora gave a weak nod and Roxas raised both his Keyblades in an 'X' in front of him and closed his eyes. A light began to cover his body, growing brighter and brighter. Xemnas gave a noise of pain as the light blinded him.

Sora felt the pain in his body start to ebb away as light enveloped him. He felt the wounds healing themselves, the skin mending back together. He looked at his hands, where normally his black gloves were, but instead a pair of Gold gloves were there, trimmed with Silver.

There was a last blast of light and Xemnas blinked open his eyes, pain in his body.

Sora was hovering above the stairs, Roxas' two Keyblades hovering in circles around his body as he held an unknown Key in his hand - the keychain was Roxas' necklace, and the sharp teeth of the blade were all shaped like Roxas' 4 point necklace - it was all gold with silver at the tips.

Sora was clothed in his usual outfit, only the entire thing sparkled in gold, his belts shimmering in silver. His eyes narrowed in hatred as he glared at Xemnas.

"This is the end." When Sora spoke, Roxas' voice echoed along with his. "Your Organization will be no more."

In a flash Sora flew towards Xemnas, his Keyblade, Nobody Soul, clutched in his hand.

Oathkeeper and Oblivion circled around his body as he flew, and when he came closer to Xemnas, the Keyblades acted of their own accord, striking Xemnas repeatedly.

"This," Sora said triumphantly, his voice still echoing with Roxas'. "Is for Roxas!"

He raised Nobody Soul, and the other two Keyblades flew beside it, a light shinning around the three. Sora brought the Keyblades down sharply, and the light struck Xemnas hard.

Xemnas' screams echoed around as Light blinded the two fighters. Sora couldn't see, but he plunged the Keyblade deep into Xemnas' chest.

Xemnas screams suddenly stopped, and Sora fell to the ground. The light disappeared so he could see - Xemnas' body was a few feet away, slowly disappearing. Sora managed a weak grin, watching the scenery before him change back to Radiant Garden.

Exhaustion took it's toll on him, and he slipped into unconsciousness.

"So what's the plan?" Kairi asked, leaning against the wall, a determined look on her face.

"What do you mean?" Naminé sat in the corner, looking scared.

"You said we have to get out of here. Your right - so let's go!"

"But Larxene," Naminé said, standing up. "We have to figure out how to get past her…"

"Maybe she's not there." Kairi shrugged, and walked towards the door.

"Kairi-!"

Kairi turned the knob and pushed on the door, but it wouldn't budge. Kairi gave it a sharp kick, and the two girls held their breath, waiting to see if Larxene would come in.

"Coast looks clear." Naminé said, walking over to Kairi. "Should we…try busting down the door or something?"

"I dunno." Kairi shrugged, then picked up the straight backed white chair that was beside the white table.

"Your joking, right?" Naminé asked, but took one side of the chair as the two girls raised the four legs of the chair to point at the door.

"1...2...3!" The two said in unison, then rammed the chair against the door. It made four huge dents, but Kairi and Naminé fell over backwards.

"Hey, if it made dents, maybe we can get a hole through!" Naminé said, getting to her feet again.

The door suddenly swung open, surprising Naminé and causing Kairi to jump up.

"Would you two shut-up!" Larxene hissed, grabbing Naminé by the front of her dress and slamming her against the wall.

Naminé let out a cry of pain while Larxene glared over at Kairi.

"You wouldn't want me to hurt dear old Sora and that blond Roxas now, would you?" Larxene gave a giggle, which annoyed Naminé and Kairi. Naminé got a fierce glow in her eye as Larxene mentioned hurting Roxas, and she kicked her leg out, catching Larxene in the gut.

"Ooh!" Larxene gasped, dropping Naminé, who landed on her feet and raised her fists.

Kairi smirked at her Nobody and stood behind Larxene, also raising her fists.

"You annoying little pests!" Larxene shrieked. "I can kill you right now if I wanted to!"

Kairi called her Keyblade, the one with flowers all over it.

"What, do you call that a Keyblade?" Larxene sneered, calling a lightning bolt to hit Kairi.

She raised her Keyblade to block the shock, but it still rattled her slightly.

Kairi took a swing at Larxene while calling,

"Naminé! Summon your Keyblade!"

"Your kidding, right? I don't have a Keyblade!" Naminé said, looking anxious.

Larxene swiped her claws at Kairi, who locked them in her Keyblade.

"Just do it!"

Naminé held out her hand, feeling foolish, and tried calling a Keyblade. Nothing happened, and her thoughts switched to Roxas, knowing he wouldn't be there to rescue her this time.

Naminé gave a light gasp as a Keyblade the same as Kairi's appeared in her hand, only it was covered in pure white Rose's.

"Alright, now let's take care of this lightning freak." Kairi smiled, but it quickly faded as Larxene sharply stabbed her in the arm, and spun around to stab Naminé in the gut.

Kairi stumbled backwards while Naminé doubled over in pain - before either one could recover, Larxene teleported around the room at high speed, casting lightning repeatedly.

Naminé and Kairi got hit several times and had small burns all over them by the time Larxene stopped casting the spell. Larxene teleported in between the girls, grabbed Kairi and threw her against a wall, then did the same to Naminé.

The girls landed opposite to each other of the room, both giving a groan of pain as they hit the wall.

"You've done it - you've made me mad. Now, how will Roxas and Sora react when they see their lovely Princess's bodies torn to shreds?" Larxene cackled and called some lightning to her hand for show.

Naminé…! Kairi's voice echoed in Naminé's head. We can beat her, we just have to combine our powers!

Larxene plunged the lightning ball to the ground, causing Electricity to course through their feet. A gasp escaped from Naminé as she realized what Kairi was talking about.

You mean…merge? She thought, trying to keep her balance as the lightning started to strike around them.

Yes!

Naminé frowned, anxiety piercing her stomach. On one hand, Kairi had become like a sister to her, but on the other hand, if they merged, they could beat Larxene and see Roxas and Sora again. Naminé took a deep breath.

Someday I'll become my own person, I know, and then I'll be able to see Roxas again…Kairi, tell Roxas I'm sorry…and give Larxene a hell of a hard time for me.

Naminé's Keyblade disappeared and she closed her eyes, placing her right hand over where her heart would be if she had one. Light engulfed both girls, but when it faded, only Kairi remained. No burns from the lightning or other injuries were visible on her, and her normally pink dress was shinning white. She raised the two Keyblades - hers and Naminé's, then brought them down upon Larxene.

Larxene let out a scream of anger and struck Kairi right on the back with a lightning bolt. Kairi fell backwards with a yell of pain, but before Larxene could get up, Kairi reacted and hurled both Keyblades straight at her stomach. Larxene gasped and fell to her knees, two Keyblades sticking through her stomach and out of her back.

"Your…to late…" Larxene's body shook and started to fade. "Xemnas has already dealt with the Keyblade Masters…" And with a last cackle, she disappeared.

"No…" Kairi whispered, jumping to her feet. She tried to run towards the door, but everything began to spin as she fell, falling unconscious before she hit the floor.
