Chapter-21 Two Across

Hey Sora! Wake up man!

The brunette stirred as he heard a voice calling his name, blinking his eyes, he opened them. "W-where I am?" Sora shook his head as he sat up, then looking at the surrounding area he was at. He was somewhere at a deserted place, surrounded by canyons and mountains. When he got to his feet, he noticed a crossroad which went in four directions.

Finally you're awake.

"Huh, R-Roxas? You're back inside me?"

His nobody nodded. Yeah, you thought I wasn't going to come back didn't you? I should get my revenge on you...

"Hey wait a minute Roxas?! I'm sorry about what happened between us. I'm really really sorry. I-I didn't know wha-"

Roxas chuckled at Sora's rambling. Relax buddy, I'm not going to do anything to you. I forgive you. So what happen to that dark side of you?

Sora glanced down towards the Unknown Keyblade that was nailed in the middle of the crossroad, the dark aura of Anti-Sora flowed through the Keyblade. He frequently remembered using it to lock the dark being away from good. "He's in there," he spoke coldly as he glared at the weapon. "I admit he had fool believing chaos was the only way to make me satisfied, however that's not me. I'm not dark...I can never be dark. I can't take back what I've done, Roxas, but I can help and regain everyone trust again."

"...Well said..." Sora turned around hearing a voice and sounds of clapping coming from the north direction. He squinted his eyes so he can see the intruder's appearance clearly. Looming from the north side was the dark soldier clapping slowly.

Who is that?

I have no idea Roxas. Your guess is as good as mine. When the Dark Soldier stopped a few feet away from Sora, he stopped clapping. "I was wondering when you'll show up, Sora."

"Who're you and how do you know my name?" Sora asked, without thinking grabbing the Unknown Keyblade from the ground. Surprisingly, he felt a shock go through his body and immediately dropped the weapon. The marking on his right arm was glowing.

What happened Sora?

"I don't know. When I picked it up, I felt him trying to re-enter my body," he explained while rubbing his arm.

"Exactly," the Dark Soldier spoke and Sora looked up, raising a brow. "You should be careful. Locking away your Anti-Form in the Keyblade you've just put him in can also be it's way to re-enter your body. That marking on your arm is an Anti mark."

"What is an Anti mark?"

"An Anti mark is a symbol which allows a Keyblade user to activate their Anti-Form. Strange though their your Anti mark is a heartless symbol..." He grabbed Sora's arm, examining it's symbol. "I've never seen one like this before."

"Wait a minute!" Sora snatched his arm back from the Dark Soldier, then furrowing his brows. "I'm not the only one!"

The Dark Soldier crossed his arms. "Why wouldn't you be?"

"You've still haven't answer my question yet. Who the hell are you?!" Sora barked.

"...Two Across."

"What? That's not a name-"

"It is though, but it isn't for me. It's for that," He pointed, referring to the Keyblade. "That'll be the name of your weapon for now on."

Sora glanced at the weapon and then back at the Dark Soldier. "Why? Why name it Two Across?"

The Dark Soldier turned his back on the teen. "A mixture between Light and Dark...combined." He said the last word turning his head back to Sora. "You think you can combine your abilities with Light and Dark?"

"I-I think I know you from somewhere. Your voice sounds so familiar, have we met before?"

"...Have we? You tell me."

"I know you...but-"

"Save it," The Dark Soldier put his hand up. "You have bigger things to worry about than me. What I mean is Riku."

Sora eyes lit up. "Riku! You've seen him?!"

"I can feel him coming this way. He's changed his path Sora, he's gone back to the darkness. Here use this Keyblade," The Dark Soldier tossed him the Oblivion Keyblade. "You have some darkness left in you...use it." With his final words, the Dark Soldier walked away, heading in the south direction.

"Riku's gone back to the darkness? Dammit!" Sora pounded his fist to the ground. "This is all my fault. The darkness got to him again."

It's not your fau-Sora wait, I have to tell you something important. The blond nobody suddenly remembered something. I may have to leave your body soon.

"Why?"Sora arched a brow, confused by Roxas' words.

There is something else inside of you. I've met it outside your mind. It will enter your body soon.

"What else is inside of me?" Sora asked intrigued, yet worried. He didn't know what else was inside of him. He already had the Anti-Sora. He wondered if it's another Anti-form that perhaps the dark being left behind.

Don't worry...you'll know soon enough. I probably wouldn't have time to explain it to you because your friend is already here.

Sora looked up into the sky, it was darkening and he can feel his heart pounding rapidly. Riku was definitely here. Sora turned towards the west direction and the sliver haired teen approaching him, holding his Way to the Dawn Keyblade ready for a fight.
