"How are you feeling?" Melody asked, helping Riku to a nearby bench.
"Ugh… a bit worn out, but I'll live," Riku replied with a groan.
All of Riku's wounds had healed; he guessed that it was because of the Realization. "So what did you hear?" Melody asked.
"Hmm?" Riku didn't understand.
"When Samantha's remains got to you, what did you hear?"
"Oh well, it sounded like she was yelling at someone, or some people for leaving her. You know what that was about?" Riku said.
"I do, you see before Maleficent found her and turned her into a nobody, she was a soldier," Melody explained.
"A soldier, you mean for war?"
Melody stared at him sadly, "Yes, she was always in different battles every day. She was proud to help her people, but one day she got into some trouble… she was taken prisoner by the enemy, and then her own comrades abandoned her."
"Abandoned, couldn't they save her?"
"They could have, but it would have to risk their lives. They thought it would be easier to just forget about her, so she became a prisoner of war… she would have probably died if Maleficent hadn't found her."
"Wow, that's actually pretty sad," Riku actually felt sorry for her.
"All of us in the Neo-Organization have gone through a type of sadness that drove us to lose our hearts and become Nobodies."
"Even you?" Melody looked down in sadness, "Ah sorry, I didn't-"
Melody interrupted, "No, it's all right, I understand what you mean."
"Well, what are you going to do now?" Riku asked, and Melody looked down thoughtful. "Are you going to go back to where Maleficent is?"
"I don't know if I should," Melody finally replied.
"RIKU!" a female voice suddenly called. The two of them looked over and saw Kairi and Sora running toward them.
"Neo-Organization!" Sora called out as he and Kairi readied there Keyblades.
"No! No guys wait!" Riku jumped in front of Melody, but he was still tired from the realization and stumbled to the ground.
"Riku! What did you do to him?" Sora asked Melody angrily.
"Guys it's ok she's not evil," Riku continued getting back up.
"Yes he's telling the truth I don't want to fight," Melody added, and the two of them spent the next few minutes explaining what just happened.
"You did the Realization, and defeated a member?" Kairi stared at Riku, impressed.
"Yeah, it was hard at first but the Realization really helped," Riku replied.
"And you're sure she's not going to hurt us?" Sora looked at Melody, still skeptical.
"I not going to hurt you people, I promise," Melody said.
"Really? For all we know you could be setting us up for a trap," Sora said.
"Well I'm not, so you're gonna have to just trust me."
"You Organization people aren't exactly know for trust, I've seen it firsthand."
"God you're annoying, no wonder your clone wants you dead."
"Is that a threat?"
"Alright you two break it up," Kairi broke up there verbal sword fight, by pushing the two away from each other. "Sorry about that, Sora's kinda gone through a lot of fights with Nobodies. So why is it that you left the Organization?"
"I wasn't leaving per say. It's just that I defied Maleficent, and now she'll most likely kill me if I go back," Melody replied.
"So does that mean your switching sides?" Sora asked.
"She has no choice, unless she wishes to die," another voice said, and everyone jumped at the sound.
"Who's there?" Sora asked summoning his keyblade.
"Oh no, that's Baroque," Melody hissed.
Suddenly a man in a Neo-Organization uniform appeared through the realm of Darkness. "Sora, so good to see you," the Nobody known as Baroque said as he pulled his hood down. He had short brown hair, matching eyes, and a short pointy beard.
"Do I know you?" Sora asked.
"Well I suppose you wouldn't recognize me, but you remember Azurith, my creation."
"Azurith…? Wait, you're the one who stabbed me with that shot back in Radient Garden!" Sora readied his Keyblade.
"Guilty," Baroque replied, smiling cruelly.
"Melody, Melody, Melody, you've been very bad. After all we've done for you, what in the world would compel you to leave us?" Baroque asked.
"I- it's just…" Melody stuttered.
"Well it doesn't matter, while I would love to punish you for your betrayal, four on one doesn't seem fair. So I'll just have to settle for this," Baroque snapped his fingers.
"GAAAHHH!" Melody yelled grabbing her head. A slight white glow could be seen from her head.
"Melody!" Riku called out fearfully. Melody was twisting around till Riku embraced her trying to calm the woman down, soon she fell unconscious. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" Riku yelled at Baroque.
"Since she is under your care, we wouldn't want her telling you anything that we don't want you to know. So I erased some of her memory," Baroque said opening a portal. "Farewell for now."
"Wait stop!" Riku yelled, but it was too late, he was gone.
Later on, they met up with Enigma, who seemed less then thrilled to see Melody with them. "I leave you guys alone for a few hours, and you bring back one of our enemies. Am I going to have to hold your hand the entire adventure?" he asked.
"She's not a bad person now, and if we leave her they'll destroy her," Riku explained, holding Melody bridal style.
"Why should we care, she's the enemy, bringing her with us could be exactly what she wants us to do," Enigma suggested clearly suspicious.
"Enigma we're not going to leave her, she needs our help," Kairi defended.
"How do you know this isn't going to be some trap for us later?"
"They erased some of her memory, I don't think they woul-" Sora was saying until Enigma cut him off.
"Wait, wait, wait, they erased some of her memory?"
"Uh yeah, a guy named Baroque said he erased the parts of her that they don't want us to know."
"So she doesn't remember anything about Maleficent's hideout or, the Neo members?"
"Well, I guess not," Sora replied.
Enigma took a moment to think. "All right fine, she can come with us."
"Wha- wait, just like that?" Riku asked with surprise. He was happy but he really wasn't expecting the masked him to give in so easily.
"Yep, just like that. But she's your responsibility, and if she backstabs us I'm blaming you," Enigma replied leaving.
"Uhhh, well ok…" Riku said.
"Well lucky you Riku, she gets to come with us," Sora pointed out, giving his friend a knowing grin.
"Why is that luck- oh… it's not what you think Sora," Riku defended himself knowing where this conversation was going.
"Whatever, I'm still going to make fun of you for it," Sora childishly stuck his tongue out.
"This adventure is getting stranger by the day," Riku said with a sigh.
