i'm so sorry! ;P. i've been busy this whole week and it's been total hell!. this Saturday is my Homecoming Dance and some friends of mine are making me go. i don't have a date (as if I could ever get one) so we're going as a group. i've been looking in my closet for something nice and shit this whole week. i really don't wanna go!. the idea of being stuck in some stupid stilettos, a dress, and some stupid girly jewelry isn't my type of fun. to boot, i can't dance!. i can only dance Spanish and rave music, i'm afraid . i guess i could make myself feel better and "alter" my dress (laughs evilly). what i mean is to make it look more gothic instead of something you wear to a dinner party. at least it's not a pink dress or i wouldn't go no matter what my friends say. well, wish me a happy afterlife at my funeral .

Sora sat down on his bed later on that day. He had so much fun with Riku over at the beach. Now, I have to deal with stupid Seifer and his stupid friends at Devil's Run, he thought. He grabbed his cordless phone form its cradle and quickly began to dial a number.

He patiently waited until someone picked up the phone. "Hello," said a girl's voice. "Hello, Min? Is Roxas home," Sora said. "Yeah, he is," she said. "I'll get him for ya." "Thanks," he said.

After a few seconds of waiting, Sora began to play a game of tic-tac-toe on a piece of scratch paper while he waited. "Hello," said a groggy voice. "Roxas? Is that you," Sora said. "You sound drunk." "Shut up," he said. "I'm just tired. So, what?."

"Do you have any plans for tonight," Sora asked. "No," he said. "Why?." "Well…it's a long story," Sora said. "See, I sorta challenged Seifer, Fuujin, and Raijin to a motorcycle race."

"Wait, what do you mean 'sorta challenged Seifer to a motorcycle race'," Roxas asked.

"Well, I went out with Riku and I went to a ball toss stand," Sora said. "So, I see Seifer and he's trying to win this digital camera prize but I didn't know it was him. I tell the guy that owns the stand that I'd like a shot at it so he let me play. I end up winning the digital camera and Seifer and his gang accuse me of cheating. Tell me, how the hell can you cheat at a stupid ball toss stand!."

"You should realize how stupid Seifer is by now," Roxas said. "Anyways, what's this about the race?."

"Riku and Seifer were about to fight when he suggested that we race against him," Sora said. "See, there's these motorcycle races that go on at Devil's Run and I was sorta hoping you would come along with me in case it turns into a tag team race. So, could you come with me?."

"No," Roxas said. "What do you mean 'no'," Sora said. "I don't do motorcycles," Roxas said. "Not anymore." "Please, Roxas," he said. "I really need someone to race with me," he said. "Do you still have that old Kawasaki?"

"Minji uses it now," Roxas said. "Except…she had someone at a custom paint shop put…gray butterflies on one of the sides." "Then you still have it," Sora said. "We can fix that. Please Roxas? Just this once. I swear on my hamster's grave I won't bug you about this again."

"Sora…," Roxas said. "I'M REALLY DESPERATE! PLEASE! I'M ON MY KNEES EVEN," Sora yelled. It was true. Sora was on his knees and was pouting.

"ALL RIGHT! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO YELL IN MY EAR! JESUS CHRIST," Roxas said, ignoring Sora's 'eek' of surprise. "JUST THIS ONCE!." "Yay! You're the best friend ever, Roxas! I swear I'll get you something absolutely cool for your birthday," Sora said. "See ya in a few!."

"Yeah…whatever," Roxas replied. Sora quickly hung up and dashed to the shower with a towel at hand. "Sora! Is your hair on fire or something," Leon yelled from downstairs. Shit! I forgot to tell Leon!, Sora thought.

He dashed down the stairs to find Leon watching TV. "Uh, bro," Sora said. "I have to go somewhere tonight." "Where exactly," Leon asked, looking up. "Well, I challenged Seifer to a…motorcycle race and I have to go to that motorcycle rental shop," Sora said.

"Okay…and since when do you even ride a motorcycle?." "Since I learned," he replied. "From who," he said. "Do we have to go over this every time," Sora said. "I'm eighteen for the love of God."

"Yes, we do," Leon said. "Only God know what's going on in your head." "Riku and Axel taught me," Sora said. "Wait races as in…the ones at that Devil's Run place close to the beach," Leon asked.

"That's the one," Sora replied, cheerfully. "The best part of it all is the winner gets cash. Wish me luck!." Leon sighed as soon as his brother dashed away. That kid…he still acts like he's sixteen or something, Leon thought. So bored and hungry. I'll just get some pizza.

He went to the refrigerator to look for the ad paper that had the number to the nearest pizza place. After finding it, he called and placed his order. It was difficult as he tried to watch TV while trying to ignore the rumbling in his stomach. He didn't resort to pizza often. It was just a very rare and random craving he had.

God help me…this is what I get for NOT eating breakfast the third time in a row, he thought. "Stupid paychecks," he muttered. "These pieces of crap can't even last for two damn weeks unless you put them in the bank."

Then, the doorbell rang. Sighing yet again, Leon stood up and went towards the door. He went down the stairs and straight to the door, still cursing paychecks. He opened the door to see Roxas. "Is Sora home," he asked. "Yeah," Leon said. "In the room."

"Thanks," he said. He watched as Roxas went up the stairs. It was strange that even though he knew Roxas for quite a while, he would still keep his conversations with him short. As he went up, Sora was dashing down the stairs with Roxas in pursuit. "Bye bro," Sora said. "See ya," he said.

Free at last, Leon said. He grabbed the small remote that was on the coffee table in the living room and turned on the stereo. He put on a CD and let the music roar out throughout the entire house.

After a few songs, he heard the doorbell ring. "Finally," he muttered, turning down the music. He grabbed his wallet and went downstairs yet again to open the door. Instead of seeing the pizza guy, he saw Cloud.

"Hey, having a party or something," Cloud said, holding up a box of pizza and a two-liter drink. "Not really," Leon said. "Was that pizza, by any chance, being delivered here?." "Yeah," Cloud said. "I paid for you."

"You did," Leon asked. "Yeah," Cloud said. He was silent for a minute since he knew Cloud wanted to say something else. "I…really wanted to thank you for…taking care of me when I was sick the other day," Cloud said. "Plus, I wanted to apologize for my…weird behavior, too. I…tend to…act weird when I get sick."

"It's all right," Leon said. 'You don't have to apologize." They were silent yet again. "So…did your brother ditch you too," Leon said. "Yeah," Cloud said. "Wanna come in," Leon said. "Sure," Cloud said.

They walked over to the living room, the stereo still blaring out the heavy metal sound. Leon turned the music up yet again. "Hey, I know that band," Cloud said. "Isn't that Dragonforce?." "You know your music, huh," Leon asked.

"I used to be in a band," Cloud said. "Plus, I sneaked into that Dragonforce concert over at Fate Island two years ago." "You snuck in? I remember that concert," Leon said. "It was one of the greatest." "I know right," he replied, slightly excited.

"I remember the controversy over that mosh pit there," he said. "Also the other stupid bullshit that they said." "I remember joining that mosh pit," he said. "You joined," Leon asked, surprised. "I couldn't. My parents made me take Sora with me. Didn't want to set a bad example for the young one."

"That sucks," Cloud said. Leon managed to picture a young Cloud smashing a fence with a baseball bat with a group of people helping out. "I'll go get the plates and cups," Leon said. "Sure," he said, reminiscing. Leon went over to the kitchen.

Then, Cloud began to remember playing one of their songs. Damn! Should've brought my guitar over!, he thought. I would've been rude of me though after all, this is his house, not mine.

"Hey, are you spacing out or something," Leon said, surprising Cloud. "Oh! Sorry, I was just thinking," he said. "I'm remembering how I'm able to play one of their songs and how much time it took me to know the right chords without reading the tablature."

"Which song is it," Leon said. "'Through the Fire and Flames'," he said. "I went to a nightclub to celebrate with Aeris, this girl I used to know."

"Must've been that record setting to you huh," Leon said, handing him a cup of soda. "Oh yeah," Cloud said, getting a slice of pizza. "It makes me wish that I can go back and time and relive that moment. Any good moments you'd like to share."

"When I won my first prank war against Sora," he said. "Prank war," Cloud said. "Yeah, it all started when he told Rinoa I had a crush on her in sixth grade," Leon said. "She became my first girlfriend and all but I was still mad at Sora."

"So what did you do," Cloud said. "He was scared of bees back then so I caught a bee and released it in his room," he said. "God, I miss the screaming." Cloud began to laugh. "Did he get his revenge," he asked.

"He put glue on my favorite desk chair so I was stuck to the chair for a whole hour until my dad came to the rescue," Leon said. "He covered his tracks by making it seem like it spilled from a shelf." Cloud turned a bright red as he tried to control his laughing, nodding for Leon to continue.

"I beheaded his plush toys and he hacked into my computer," Leon said. "He rewrote a very important research essay I was typing for my Weapons class."

"Did you get mad at that last one," Cloud said. "Hell yeah," he replied. "It took me an entire month to write that whole thing. We had to write about the history, the many uses, and special abilities of any certain weapon. I was assigned the Keyblade so only God knows how many hours I spent at the library and how many books I checked out."

"Then I would've been very pissed," Cloud agreed. "I mean, a month's worth of work research and note taking. Plus the research reading."

"My teacher gave me a chance to make it up so that was all right but that was still very embarrassing," he said. "The way I won the war was that I told a girl named Kairi that he had a crush on her, put hair dye in his shampoo and switched the signs of the shower faucets."

"Poor kid," Cloud laughed. "Now that I think about it, his hair has somewhat of a blonde shade."

"That means that justice was served," Leon said. "Of course my mom was very ticked off. My dad just sat there and said nothing. He laughed when Sora took off his hat, though. His friend, Roxas, convinced his classmates that he only dyed his hair to look like his identical twin."

Cloud and Leon had already finished eating a slice of pizza each. "I think that laughing took away my appetite," he said. Then, a new song began to play.

On the gold winds of morning,

In the time before the light.

In flames of death's eternal reign,

We ride towards the fight.

"Yes! 'Through the Fire and Flames'," Cloud said. "Who would've thought you were so evil." "Well now you know," Leon said. "If Sora ever annoys you, just say the word and I'll prank him." Cloud turned around and spit out a small amount of soda.

"How about no," he replied. "I live for torturing, Cloud," Leon said. "I don't," Cloud said. "I think it's wrong." "Do you," Leon said, getting closer. His face was barely an inch away from Cloud's.

"At least consider a person's feelings," Cloud said. "I don't normally let people get away with torture but what the hell." He was now very nervous and knew it. Leon gave him a kiss before saying, "You really have a huge sense of justice." He began to kiss him but intensified it more than the last.

On the blackest wings in hell's terrain,

We watch the lands become

In fire and flame, and once again we know.

"Haven't you ever tortured anything," Leon whispered into Cloud's ear. "N-no," Cloud stuttered. "That means yes," he said. "Don't lie." "I wouldn't hurt a fly unless it stung me," Cloud said. "Good but not good enough," he said.

Cloud was now pinned against the sofa. He blushed a light shade of pink as Leon began to kiss him yet again. Just great!, he thought. Cloud, get a hold of yourself. When Leon was about to get to his neck, Cloud moved.

"Why don't we just eat," he said. "Why so shy," Leon said. "I-I'm not shy," he argued. "I just want to eat." Leon leaned over and gave Cloud's ear a small nip before saying, "You don't have to be shy around me." Cloud's face now became a light red as he kissed Leon.

So now we're flying we're free,

We're free before the thunderstorm.

Hunt towards the wilderness,

Our quest carries on.

Leon removed Cloud's turtleneck and threw it to the floor. He started biting Cloud's neck, seeing him wince as he did so. "You deserve to suffer for lying," Leon said before continuing.

Far beyond the sun down, far beyond the moonlight.

Deep inside our hearts and all our souls.

"Then this means war," Cloud said, pulling off Leon's t-shirt. "Let's see who wins, my adversary," he whispered. Cloud trembled at his words as the war started between them when Leon took him to the room, leaving the music to blare out.

So far away we reign for the day,

For the light's source wasted and gone.

We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,

Through the fire and flames we carry on!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sora and Roxas headed towards the beach after Sora had gone to the rental shop. What the hell did I get myself into now?, he thought. He managed to rent a Suzuki Katana for himself. I really should get a job, he thought. That way I can get this sweet motorcycle.

It was red and black and matched his outfit. Sora slowed down to give Roxas a chance to catch up. After he saw Roxas, he signaled for him to stop. They stopped at an overlook point and Sora took off the spare helmet Roxas let him borrow.

"This is pointless, Sora," Roxas said. "I really don't like this. Racing the motorcycles, I mean." "Come on, Roxas," Sora said. "It's not like its extreme baking or some other stupid thing."

"You're out of your mind," he said. "I'm only doing this for the money, y'know. Plus, to see Seifer humiliated when we win." "Are you going to take Minji to the rave," Sora said. "I remember her complaining about that for the past few weeks." "Unfortunately," Roxas sighed.

"We should invite the rest of the band over and have a party at my house or something," Sora said, cheerfully. "We could invite Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Kairi, Riku, Cloud, and Naminé. They could bring some of their friends, too." He turned towards the horizon, with the sun being almost hidden by the blue horizon.

"What about your brother," he asked, turning too. "He'll get pissed off, won't he?." "Not if Cloud's around," Sora said, with an evil-yet-innocent smile. "Dude, you're screwed up," Roxas said. "Can I ask you what we're doing here?."

"Waiting for them," Sora said, pointing to a stream of people riding motorcycles or cars towards them. "We might be able to get an exception from the person who sponsors this whole race."

"Exception," Roxas said. "He means you guys'll be the first racers up there sine you have a score to settle with Seifer," said a voice. "Riku! You made it," Sora said.

"Sora…you don't like my motorcycle," said a teary-eyed Axel. "You couldn't ask me—ME!—you're most trustworthy friend?." "Uh, Axel," Sora said. "I-I think your motorcycle is nice and fast but…I think I should just use this one for now. You wouldn't want me to trash it, would you?." "No," Axel sobbed.

"Then, relax," Sora said. "Think of it like this: I'm making sure that I don't trash your motorcycle. Is that better?." "My motorcycle! No," Axel said, starting to speed off. "Whoever touches it shall die and burn in Hell!." Then, Riku grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and slapped him on the head.

"Thanks, Riku," Axel said. "I needed that." Roxas just stood there and stared at the redhead like he was a maniac. "Oh, hi! Who're you," he said, cheerfully. "Axel, this is my best friend, Roxas," Sora said.

"But Sora! I thought I was your best friend," Axel sobbed. "That's me you're talking about, you idiot," Riku sighed. "Oh right," he said. Roxas still looked at him as if he was retarded. "Sorry Roxas," Riku said, with a face that screamed how-come-this-psychopath-is-my-best-friend?. "This mentally incapacitated mental case is Axel."

"Hi," Roxas said, with the same stare on his face. "Roxas! Hey there," he said. "Are you and Sora twins?." "Excuse me," he said, raising an eyebrow. "You guys look alike," he said. "Except for the hair."

"Now that I think about it, you guys really do look alike," Riku said. "Sora and I lied about being twins once," Roxas said. "I prefer to leave it at that." "So, you really did bring Roxas along for the ride, huh," said a voice.

Sora, Riku, Axel, and Roxas all turned to see Seifer on a motorcycle along with Raijin and Fuujin on another motorcycle. "Hello to you too, dickhead," said Roxas. "Ooh, that breaks my heart," Seifer said, sarcastically. "Replay," Fuujin said.

"Nice one, Seifer," Raijin added. "Here to lose too, Roxas," Seifer said. "Just like old times." "Old times…," Roxas said, confused. Then, his hands turned into fists as he grew angry.

"I'll show you," he said. "I'm gonna beat you and when I do, you have to go to class in a ballerina dress and dance. How does that sound to you?." (A/N: that was the only thing Roxas could think of.)

"If I win, you have to go but…in the Destiny Islands Girls High School uniform," Seifer said, smirking. "That fair enough, cupcake?." "More than," Roxas said, with an evil grin.

Seifer sped off to the now created starting line. Roxas turned to Sora with the evil grin still on his face. "Seifer's all yours if that's what you want," Sora said, smiling nervously. "Thank you," Roxas said. "I have to go get ready."

"Roxas," Riku said. He turned around to look at Riku. "Give him hell," he said. "Oh yeah," he said. "I will. I want to see him in pink eye shadow so badly so I can take a picture." Riku saw him mouth 'we need to talk after the race' to him before leaving.

"He's changed…but he's still the same old Roxas," Axel whispered as he and Sora left. "What're you going on about now," Riku said. "What? Did you say something," Axel said. "Yeah, I did," Riku said. "You wouldn't happen to know him from somewhere, would you?."

"Dude, what're you talking about," he said. "C'mon, we have to go talk to the judge of the race about the exception." "HEY AXEL! OVER HERE," yelled a voice. "Is that…," Axel began.

He looked around and saw a guy with dirty blonde hair styled back into a half-mullet, half-mohawk hairstyle waving for him to come. "DEMYX, YOU BASTARD," he said, dashing over to him. "Demyx," Riku said, running after Axel. Axel tackled Demyx to the ground.

"YOU IDIOT! WHY HAVEN'T YOU E-MAILED ME FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS," he said, grabbing him in a choke hold. "I-I-I'm s-sorry!" he gasped. "C-C-can't b-breathe…" Axel immediately let go.

"Hey, Demyx," Riku said. "Riku? That you," he said, loudly. "Whoa, talk about girly—I'm kidding! I'm kidding!." Riku cracked his knuckles threateningly at Demyx. "Why're you here," Axel asked. "Didn't you move to Twilight Town?."

"I came after TTU blew up in flames," he said. "So, I come here to make some spare cash!." "Doing what," Axel asked. "Judge," Demyx said. "I judge the races." "Wait a—you're the new judge," Riku said.

"Is there a problem with that," Demyx said, teary-eyed and loudly. "Am I too stupid to judge?."

"No, there isn't," Riku sighed. "I imagine you more as, uh, an entertainment with that sitar of your during the races. "Tried that," he said. "Sadly, it didn't work out for me. So, I became a judge."

"Makes sense," Riku said. "Look, my boyfriend and--." "You have a boyfriend now," Demyx said. "Can I meet him?." Demyx kept his mouth shut after Riku sent him a death glare.

"My boyfriend and his friend, Roxas, have a score to settle with some guy," Riku said. "Think you can give them an exception and let them go first?." "Sure! But can I meet him," Demyx said. "I wanna know who he is."

"You see that blonde kid with that motorcycle," Riku said. "The one that's blue with gray butterflies," he asked, yet again loudly. "He looks like a pansy." "The kid with the brown hair next to him is my boyfriend," Riku said.

Five…four…three…two…one, he thought as Roxas ran up to them. "Okay, who said that," Roxas growled, furiously. I figured as much…sharp hearing, Riku thought. Short fuse, too.

"ROXAS," Demyx said, surprised. "Roxas? Is that you?." "Prepare to die," Roxas said. He lunged toward him when Axel grabbed him from under the arms to hold him back and Riku and Sora rushed over to block Roxas in case he escaped.

"Roxas, don't you remember me," Demyx said. "It's me! Demyx. You used to hang out with me when we were in Sunset Hill All-Boys High. I was in your class during both junior and senior year."

"Demyx? Is that really you," Roxas said, finally calming down. Axel, then, released him and Riku and Sora backed away. "Yeah," he said. "Anyways, sorry for the pansy comment. I'm guessing that's a girl's bike then?."

"I had no one else to ask but Minji," he explained, sighing. "Most of the friends I know now don't have motorcycles. I have to go. See ya around. Come on, Sora." Sora gave Riku a confused face before he left.

"Okay so the kid talking to Roxas is your boyfriend," Demyx asked. "Dude, how old is he? He looks like he's in high school." "He's in my year," Riku said. "First year of college."

Demyx glanced at his watch and said, "Shit I have to go!. I'll tell the boss about the exception!." "He hasn't changed," Axel said. "Nope," Riku agreed. "Let's snag ourselves a good view." "He's going to race against Sora first, right," he asked.

"Apparently not," Riku said. "Roxas is the one settling a score now. You know the bet?." "True true," Axel agreed, cheerfully. Roxas, you really didn't remember me OR Demyx, did you?, he thought. I still remembered you after all these years…I guess she really was right. Axel took out two cigarettes and lit them, offering one to Riku.

"I'll handle this race," Roxas said to Sora. "You just race against Rai or Fuu, all right?." "Uh, Roxas," Sora said. "Rai doesn't ride, remember?." "Oh, right," he said. "Against Fuu then, okay?." "Sure," Sora said.

"It's my fault Seifer picks on you, too," Roxas sighed. "You hang out with me after all so…you get the point." "Hey," he said, smiling. "Best friends stick together. I'm on your side through and through." "Heh, thanks Sora," he said.

"Anytime," Sora replied, giving him a high five. "Good luck out there. Make sure Seifer's wearing a tutu by Monday, all right?." "You know I will," he said, starting up his motorcycle.

He approached the starting line and took his place. "Well, well, well," Seifer said. "It looks like little Roxas has joined the fray after all." "Shut up, asshole," Roxas said. "I'm just here to beat you."

Demyx came up in between the both of them. "All right, this is just like any other race so…gimme the cash," Demyx said, holding out his hand. Roxas took out a small wad of cash and gave it to Demyx while Seifer did the same.

"You guys know the rules," Demyx said. "The first one to reach the bottom of Devil's Run is the winner. You can ride as clean or dirty as you want, all right?." "Sure," Roxas said. "Whatever," Seifer said.

Demyx walked away before a girl in a Chinese dress came in front of them with a flag. "Ready!...Set!...Go," she said, lowering the flag. Roxas and Seifer sped off. Everyone began to jump onto their motorcycles and headed to a private road. Sora waited for Riku and Axel before following the crowd.

Roxas was going fast with Seifer right beside him. "Well, isn't this romantic," Seifer said, trying to make Roxas crash to the cliff wall. His adrenaline levels soared as he was about to hit the cliff. "You'll have to do better than that," Roxas said.

After a few seconds and a few hand motions, Roxas had Seifer close to his side of the cliff wall. "You still have a chance to back down," he said. "Come on, I know you don't like doing this sort of thing." "Screw you," he said. Roxas sped up at the last moment, dashing past Seifer with a delicate grace.

Then, he was past the finish line. After braking, he was surrounded by a crowd of people. "Roxas, you did it," Sora said, hugging him. "Yeah…I did," he said, wiping away layers of sweat. "Roxas! All right," Axel said, patting him on the back.

"I demand a rematch," Seifer said, after dismounting. "Yeah! That wasn't fair, y'know," Rai agreed. "Rematch," Fuu said. "How about I race you," Sora said. "The normal race and no holding back." "You're on, loser," Seifer said.

"Hope ya lose, dude," Axel said, patting Sora on the head. "I taught this one well." "Very funny," Seifer said, walking away. "Hey, where did Roxas and Riku go," Sora said.

"To get a drink probably," Axel said, leaning on his motorcycle. "Hey, let's go tell Demyx you want to compete in the first race." "All right," Sora said. "I'm game."

"So, you wanted to talk to me," Riku said, drinking a bottle of water. They were at the cliffs so they could have some privacy. "Listen, I know that you're hiding something," Roxas said. "From Sora, I mean." "Yeah, and," he said. "I want to know what it is," Roxas replied.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you," Riku said. "I have to see if my suspicions are right," Roxas said, seriously. " A few years back, I had an accident and ever since then, I've had a bad case of amnesia. I've been remembering a small amount of things from my past, though."

"I'm not trying to be rude but…what does that have to do with me," Riku said. "I remember a group of people in black," he said. "I also remember being part of that group. They were interested in two particular guys that they wanted to convince to join."

"Then you must be talking about Organization XIII," Riku replied. "They wanted me to join." "So you were one of the boys I remembered," Roxas said. "I'm guessing so," Riku said. "So tell me, did you join," Roxas asked.

"No, I didn't," he said. "Then can you tell me what you're hiding from Sora," he said. "You're now one of few people who know about this." "Does Sora know about your amnesia," Riku asked. "Yeah…but I didn't tell him about the relapses," he said.

"I guess I could tell you," Riku said. "Just don't tell Sora." "You think I would," Roxas said. "I realize it's serious and all but I'm not an idiot." "Good point," Riku said. There was a long pause between them, the sound of motorcycle engines filling the gap.

"When I refused to join, they killed my uncle and I was raped by one of the leaders," Riku began. "As revenge, my brother Cloud and I killed most of the leaders and the main leader, Motoko. After that, Cloud hasn't been the same and I haven't either. That's all I can tell you."

Roxas looked at him in shock. "Don't believe me," Riku said, pulling up one of his sleeves. "I still have the scars on my arms when they beat my up." "They're a…bad group, then," Roxas said. "Yeah," Riku said. "They haven't messed with me and my brother since…until now."

"Axel and I are planning to infiltrate their headquarters and destroy their gang," Riku said. "If I get my memories back before then, I could probably help you take them down," Roxas said. "If you insist," he said.

"If you're going back down, tell Sora I left," Roxas replied. "I will," Riku said. They both got on their motorcycles and went their separate ways.
