Xion woke up in a place that was unfamiliar to her at first, but then when she got a better look around, she realized where she was: she was in her station awaking.
Xion was shocked by this, mostly because at first she didn't recognize it at all. But then when Xion got a better look at the stain glass, she realized why she did not recognize it. She looked down to her herself resting on one side, but on the other side there was another resting figure: it was Xehanort. Not only that but it seemed the whole background of the station changed and now instead of Riku, Roxas, and Axel being in the smaller pictures by her head, it was of Xemnas, Vanitas, the younger version of Xehanort, and one person Xion did not know but Sora did: Ansem the Seeker of Darkness. Xion then looked at the background again, seeing that instead of it being Twilight Town, it was of a barren wasteland she did not recognize.
(Another Side Battle Version – Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days) Xion only stared at the station shocked, and she wondered why it looked like this, why there was such a huge change. But before Xion could think any longer, she heard something from behind her approach. She then turned around and was shocked by what she saw: it was her but with golden yellow eyes, her black hair with streaks of white in it, darker skin, pointed ears, and an Organization XIII robe in a sleek white. In her hand she was holding the keyblade Master Xehanort wielded, Pure Darkness, and only snickered when she saw Xion.
Xion gasped at this. "Who are you?!" Xion asked the almost identical version of her.
"Who am I? Xion I am the new, dark you." The girl said, having a voice similar to Xion's but had a darker tone to it. "This is what you will look like once I take over your will." The darker version of Xion then pointed her keyblade right at Xion, who only took a step back.
"This is what I will become?" Xion asked shocked. She knew that she wouldn't be the same with Xehanort's heart inside her, but she didn't know she would act this different.
"Yes, and once that happens, our thirteen darknesses will clash with the seven lights so we can forge the ultimate weapon: the X-Blade! With that we will send every world into darkness, and I can assure you there will be no survivors of those who dwelled in light."
"The seven lights? Who are they?" Xion asked. She knew that she had to fight the seven lights, but she never learned who they really were.
"Some of them you know, most of them you don't, but if everything goes as planned, we should be fighting Sora, Kairi," the darker version of Xion then paused. "And Riku."
Xion then took a step forward angrily. "What?!" She said, shocked and angry at the same time. She didn't want to fight the two people who shaped her existence and Riku, she couldn't let that happen. "Why didn't Xehanort or Vanitas tell me before?" She asked herself.
"You truly are stupid aren't you?" The darkness asked. "They never once cared about you, well at least Xehanort didn't, they only pressured you to gone them so that they could forge the X-Blade, that's it. They only forced you over to the darkness so that they could finally start the legendary battle: The Keyblade War. And it would then be when our plans will be accomplished, and we shall send everything into darkness."
Xion was about to explode with anger: it was her fault. It was her fault this Keyblade War was going to start, it was her fault Xehanort would get his way, and it was her fault Riku could end up hurt. But Xion was not going to go down that easily, she had to fight this darker version of herself, she needed to destroy it so Xehanort's plans would be ruined, even if it meant destroying herself. So Xion then did the one plus side to becoming one with Xehanort, summoned a keyblade, which was Oathkeeper, and stood in her battle stance to fight herself. "We will just see if I am going to let that happen." Xion said with an attitude in her voice.
The darker version of Xion then let out a laugh. "You really think you can defeat me?" The darker version said, trying to scare Xion, but when she didn't seem to back down, the darker version herself stood in her battle stance. "Fine, but I am the only one will be coming out alive!" She yelled as the two ran towards each other.
As soon as the two made it in the middle of the station, their keyblades clashed so hard that sparks appeared between the two of them. They both then tried to push the other down by pushing on their keyblades harder, but when the darker version saw Xion was doing more to her, she backed away, causing Xion's keyblade to hit the ground. The darker version then summoned a large ball of darkness that appeared on the tip of her keyblade and fired it at Xion, who was prepared for this and blocked the blow with her keyblade, which sent it flying back at the darker version herself. If the darker version hadn't had seen it, the dark ball probably would have hit her, but she just barely avoided it. "I'm not going down that easily." Xion said to her darker self, receiving a death glare from it before charging at Xion once again.
As the darker self ran towards Xion, right before she was about to hit her, Xion jumped into the air, avoiding the attack. But the darker version followed right after and their keyblades began to clash in the air, sparks being made with every collision. But then the darker version fired several spears of darkness at Xion, most of them she was able to avoid, but one hit her right in the arm she used to fight and this sent her to the ground. Xion landed on her feet though and then grabbed her arm, seeing that the darkness made a tear in her robe and darkness was smoking from it. She couldn't pay attention to that much though since her darker self came back down and was about to bring her keyblade down on her, but Xion brought her keyblade up just in time to block the blow.
When are you going to give up?" The darker version asked Xion, who did not reply at first and only pushed on her keyblade, sending her darker self into the air with Xion jumping right after her. They were once again in an aerial battle, but this time Xion was able to get a midair combo hit on her darker self and then topped it off with a blast of fire right at her. This sent the darker version to the ground, who just barely landed on her feet as Xion floated down. The darker self then ran towards Xion, trying to get a combo hit on her but Xion mover out of the way just in time before her darker self made contact with Xion. It was clear that the darker version of Xion was not as strong as she made herself sound.
As she dodged the attack, Xion then came out from behind the darker self and got another combo hit on her, but she quickly recovered and then got a combo hit on Xion herself. Xion also quickly recovered though, just in time to before her darker self came running at her again. Suddenly the darker self then vanished in a flash of darkness just before she reappeared in the air and pointed her keyblade into the air. The hundreds of little beams of darkness came flying down like rain, which seemed to do damage to Xion since one did touch her. Xion then used reflect on herself, which sent the darkness rain to scatter in many different areas, including firing back at the darker self. The darker self then lowered herself, seeing now that doing that was not such a good idea, but then Xion felt some surge go through her and out her keyblade. Xion then realized what she had done, she had fired a blast of light at her darker self without even knowing it. That beam of light hit her darker self dead on and that ended the battle. (End Another Side Battle Version)
The darker self took a step back from Xion before falling on one knee and began to take several deep breaths. Xion had beat her, she had defeated her darkness, and now the only thing she had to do was deliver the final blow. So with that, Xion ran towards her darker self, rising her keyblade and getting ready to end her darker self. But just when Xion though she had her cornered, the darker self then snapped her fingers right as Xion was about to deal the final blow and a dark portal appeared before Xion as she began to sink through. This darkness had Xion's legs trapped, and it also traveled up her arms to keep them bind, causing her to drop the Oathkeeper. Xion knew she was trapped.
The darker self the stood up and looked down at Xion as she began to sink deeper into the darkness. She then let out a snicker. "I'm sorry, who isn't going down that easily?" She asked as Xion shot her a death glare.
Xion then looked at her darker self angrily. "That was all just an act wasn't it? So that I could waste all my energy and you could win this battle." Xion said.
"Yes, but I think you noticed a little too late." The darker self said, mocking Xion and saying those words sarcastically. The darker self then snapped her fingers and Xion gasped as the darkness began to take her in deeper.
"What is happening to me?" Xion asked her darker self angrily.
"I am sending you into darkness you idiot. There you will not be in control of anything you are doing but you can see everything that is happening, and no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to do anything to stop yourself." The darker version said. "It's over, you have lost."
Xion then let out a growl. "You may think that, but I will gain control, I will make sure that Xehanort doesn't win!" Xion exclaimed as her darker self laughed.
"Please, you will not be able to take over your darkness! It will take all the light you have to shine over it and it is going to take some miracle for that to happen." The darker version said, snapping her fingers again as Xion went deeper into the darkness. Xion's head was now barely sticking out as her darker self pulled in one last time. "Have fun stuck in the darkness where you belong, Xion." She said as Xion was about to scream, but the darkness took her, and Xehanort had control.
…
Vanitas and Xehanort where watching over curiously as Xion's her body continued to thrash and she continued to scream. Vanitas only looked at her in shock, thankful that because he was mainly darkness, he wouldn't have a similar experience to what was happening to her now, even though it would still be painful. He could only watch Xion in horror as Xehanort seemed to watch her amused.
After a few more minutes of this, the screaming finally stopped, and Vanitas and Xehanort turned to look at her. Her eyes were closed at that moment, but when she stopped thrashing, they shot open, relieving that they were now golden yellow. Xion then slowly got up from the ground, showing that her ears where now slightly pointed and her skin had turned a shade darker, even though most people would probably not notice this since it wasn't that much of a change. Her hair also seemed to change appearance slightly, since if you looked at it in a certain light, you would see streaks of white. As she fully stood, Xehanort only smiled at her, as Vanitas only looked at her shocked. "It is great to see you have become my full replica, Xion." Xehanort said as Xion only let out an evil glare.
Xion then looked Xehanort in the eyes. "It is great to finally be in darkness, Xehanort." She said as she then looked over to Vanitas, who was shocked to see how much she had changed from gaining Xehanort's heart.
"Please Xion; let me have the honor of making everyone here remember you, so that when we reveal you as the new member, they will know who you are." Xehanort said as Xion nodded. Xehanort then left the room, leaving Xion and Vanitas alone. At first they did nothing, but then Xion went up to Vanitas. She then did something that Vanitas was not expecting, she kissed him right on the lips, and she probably would have done it longer if Vanitas didn't pull away.
"What was that for?" Vanitas asked.
"Well, I figured you wanted to kiss me, since it is clearly obvious we both developed feelings for each other in the time we've know one another." Xion replied. Vanitas did not know how to respond to this besides kissing her back, which he did, and for the first time in Vanitas's life, he actually cared about someone.
…
Xehanort sat on the highest chair in the room as he looked down at the ground below him. As he looked around at all the other members of the Organization sitting in their chairs, he placed his elbow on the arm of the throne. He then rested his head on his fists as he began to speak. "I am glad to announce that we have finally found the perfect person to wear the final coat," Xehanort spoke, "Not like we will need someone else to fight off those weak lights, but we need someone to forge the X-Blade."
The rest of the members in their chairs began to laugh at the old man's comment as they then directed their attention to the side front of the room. They could all tell that someone was coming in due to them hearing the sound of heels hitting the stone cold floor. All of the members of the Organization widened their eyes as the newest member stepped into the room, right in the center between the chairs. Xehanort only smiled as he looked down below. "Number thirteen, we welcome you to the Organization."
