So it's decided. Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts 3 will be there own story. Putting it in here would probably just be more confusing.
It would be (excuse my language) a clusterfuck. So, yeah.
(Someone is probably going to say "What about re:Coded?" Yeah, we don't care about that.)
I don't have any details to give out, but it will be happening. You could say it's...Now in Development.
Lol, I'm funny. Anyways, enjoy.
Her vision was blurred, breaths coming in short bursts.
The tears had been non-stop since he left.
It was like the first time he had done this, back in Castle Oblivion.
...
She didn't understand anymore.
Why does he keep running away from her? Doesn't he know she wants to help him?
Are things that bad that he doesn't what her involved? Because if that was the case, she would not have any of it.
...
Those questions continued to run through her mind, but one in particular was prevalent.
That thought shattered her heart everytime she thought about it.
...
Does Kirux even care about her anymore?
...
One half of her mind said, "Of course he does. You saw his face, he was crying."
That was what she wanted to believe.
But the other half was saying, "If he cared so much, why does he keep running away from you?"
...
Both sides were fighting constantly, while Xion remained a crying, sad mess.
She felt as if she had lost him for good this time.
Her searching was hopeless. She was never going to get Kirux back.
That was the reality of the situation.
...
In time she, found the strength to stand up. She didn't stop crying, even though it had slowed down.
She wiped the tears from her eyes, "Come on. Pull yourself together."
"You've got to...find him...before it's too late."
She shook her head, "What am I saying? It's already too late."
He's already given in to the darkness. He's already left her again.
Kirux couldn't be saved anymore.
...
"No," She said, "Don't talk like that."
"I can save him. I'm...the only one that can."
A corridor of light appeared in front of her, "I should go see Master Yen Sid first."
She ran into the corridor, which closed as she entered.
Play: Magical Mystery - KH2
When Xion entered Yen Sid's chamber, he seemed to be attending to somebody behind his chair.
"Master Yen Sid," she said, closing the door behind her.
Yen Sid turned to her, "Hello again. Why have you returned?"
"Well, I found Kirux. But...he's unleashed the darkness in his heart. And I-,"
She trailed off once she saw the person Yen Sid was attending to.
...
It was Aqua.
...
"Aqua!" She said, running up to the older woman. She was asleep.
"I found her drifting in the lanes between. I wonder...how she was able to escape the realm of darkness."
Xion spoke then, "It...must have been when I got sucked into that portal in the sky."
"You were trapped in the dark realm?"
Xion stood up, "For a while, Kirux and I were together. We...got separated, and I ran into Aqua."
"Will she be alright?"
Yen Sid crossed his arms, "At the moment, it is unclear. But in time, Aqua may awaken."
...
"Anyways, why is that you are here?"
Xion explained to him everything that had happened back in Olympus Coliseum. Kirux unleashing his darkness, nearly destroying Sora, and leaving her behind again.
It was upsetting to recall, but she got through.
"And just like before, I have no idea where to start looking."
...
Yen Sid considered it. He had returned to his chair at this point.
"If Kirux really has fallen into the darkness in his heart, then I'm afraid,"
"You may already be too late, Xion."
She gasped, "What? But why?"
"It is entirely possible that the Organization was behind Kirux unleashing the darkness. If this is the case, there is no doubt that they would immediately try to bring him back into their ranks."
She shook her head, as Yen Sid continued, "They will undoubtedly then try and rebuild him, more to their liking. Through fear and anger, they will make him do as they please."
"NO!" She yelled, slamming her fist on the table, "That's absurd! Kirux would never do that!"
...
She calmed down, allowing Yen Sid to continue, "I do not wish for it to be true, but...I can not sit by and assume the best."
"Kirux has fallen to darkness, and you must find him. However, you must not go out there in the condition you are in."
"I'm fine. I don't have to-,"
"Please. You need rest." He pointed to the door on her right, "You can rest in there for the time being."
Xion hesitated. She really didn't want to stay here.
She wanted to go out and look for Kirux.
But Yen Sid insisted, so she complied.
...
The room was barren, apart from the bed that sat on the back wall.
She shook her head, "I can't believe I'm actually doing this."
She laid down on the bed, "I should be out there, looking for him."
...
If what Yen Sid was true, Kirux went back to the Organization.
But...why? Why would he do that?
He knows good and well that the Organization is terrible, and their plans would bring the worlds into chaos.
If Kirux did go back, it must have been by force.
...
But Xion didn't want to think about it anymore.
Master Yen Sid was right. She needed to rest. It had been a long few days.
In time, she eventually fell asleep.
Stop: Magical Mystery - KH2
Xion slept peacefully, up until that point.
When her eyes slowly opened, the scenery had changed.
...
Rather than being in Yen Sid's tower, she was in the one place she dreaded.
Back in her room, at the Organization's castle.
She started panicking, "How...did I...?"
"Good morning, sleepyhead."
...
When she looked to her left, Kirux was sitting at her bedside, a smile on his face.
"It's about time you woke up."
"Kirux," she started, "When...did you bring me back?"
His face changed to confusion, "What are you talking about? We both came back from the clock tower together."
"We...did?"
Kirux grew concerned, "Are you feeling okay? If you need more rest, I can go."
"No. No, it's fine. I just..."
...
'Am I dreaming again?'
'It's like the same situation. This all feels real.'
'Too real.'
...
"Don't you have a mission today?"
He shook his head, "No. Xemnas actually gave us another day off."
"I...couldn't figure out where to go, so I...came to see you."
Xion smiled, 'Still the same old Kirux.'
...
"Well," she said, laying back, "If you say we have the day off, might as well take full advantage."
"You sound like Axel."
She looked up at him, "Got it memorized?"
They both laughed.
...
...
...
Kirux then started standing up, "Well, I guess I'd better get going."
"What?"
"I don't want to disturb you while you sleep."
"I'll see you later, Xion."
He went to walk away.
...
'No.'
'I don't want him to leave again. You can call me selfish, but I don't care.'
'I am not going to let him walk away from me again.'
'Never again.'
...
"Kirux, wait." She said, standing up.
He turned around, "What's up?"
...
'Here goes.'
...
"Kirux, I...can you..."
She sighed, "Please. Don't go."
Kirux didn't say anything, so she continued.
"I know, it's pretty selfish, but...please don't leave. Stay here with me."
She walked up to him, until they were only a few inches away from one another, "I don't want to be alone. I want-,"
She stuttered, "I want to be with you. So please, stay with me."
...
Kirux didn't respond.
'Great. Now, you've just creeped him out.'
'Good job, Xion.'
"Okay."
...
She looked back up, "What?"
He smiled at her, "I don't have any plans for today, so...might as well."
...
'Wow.'
'I can't believe that work.'
'Why can't it be that easy on the outside?'
...
Xion immediately hugged him as tightly as she could. She was happy when she felt Kirux return it.
"Thank you." She whispered softly.
"Don't mention it." He responded.
...
When Xion pulled back, she noticed something...different.
There was something different in Kirux's eyes.
She didn't know what it was. She couldn't describe it, but they weren't the same.
It scared her a little.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
...
"I...I just..."
He sighed, "Never mind."
...
She knew what he wanted.
'Why is he so hesitant?' She thought to herself.
'Come on, Kirux. Just kiss me already.'
...
She giggled lightly.
"What's so funny?"
"You're hesitation. It's funny, and kind of cute."
"Shut up. You're not making it any easier."
She shook her head, still smiling, "Whatever you say."
...
She pulled him down, into a kiss.
'Now this,' she thought as Kirux kissed her back, 'I can get used to this.'
This was the Kirux she always wanted.
The one that was not focused on the darkness, or Sora, or anything else.
He was entirely focused on what was in front of him.
And what was in front of him? Her.
...
They finally pulled back after a while, both completely out of breath.
"Wow..." Kirux whispered, "You've changed."
"What do you mean?"
"You're a lot more...clingy than I remember. It's like you're a whole new you."
Xion looked down in embarrassment.
...
He brought her eyes back up to him, and smiled, "I like this new you."
She smiled up at him.
...
...
...
"So, what do you want to do?"
Xion shrugged, "I don't know. Stay here and sleep, I guess."
He laughed, "Now you're really starting to sound like Axel."
...
She laughed, but her smile was quickly replaced by confusion.
Her vision started to blur.
"No...not now."
Kirux faded away, and her vision went blank.
She sat up in a rush.
When she looked around, the castle was gone. She was back in Yen Sid's tower.
"It was...a dream?"
...
"No..."
It was perfect. Everything was perfect.
That dream was everything she had wanted in the world.
To be with Kirux, without any cares. Just for the two of them to be together.
...
And it had all been a fabrication, created by her mind.
'Curse this stupid brain.' She thought.
'Everything I could ever want, and it was fake. Figures.'
...
She got out of the bed, exiting the room. Yen Sid was still sitting in his chair, his eyes opening when she entered.
"I trust you slept well?"
She shrugged, "No, not really. I..."
"I had a dream that...well, it didn't feel like a dream. It felt...real."
"Do these dreams happen often?"
"Not really. But it's like they're showing me what I want the most, but..."
...
Yen Sid spoke after a short silence, "Go on now. You must find Kirux before it is too late."
She nodded, "Of course. Thank you, Master Yen Sid."
She ran out of the chamber.
...
"Her innermost desires are taking the form of her dreams. The connection might be stronger than I anticipated."
Play: A Day in Agrabah - KH ReCOM
Xion exited the corridor, finding her feet go from solid ground to sand.
"Agrabah, huh? Maybe Kirux is here."
She wasted no time running off, searching the city.
...
...
...
After a long time, she had scoured the entire city and found nothing.
No Heartless, no Nobodies, no Kirux.
The city was empty.
She sighed, "I should have known. Kirux wouldn't come here. What was I thinking?"
...
Behind her, she heard voices. They were faint at first, but as she moved closer they got louder.
"Just keep your mouth shut now. Okay?"
"Oh I will! Don't you worry!"
Xion recognized the first voice, "Isn't that...Demyx?"
One of the men walked right past her.
He was in a black coat.
...
They walked over towards the palace.
"What is Organization XIII doing here? What could they possibly gain from this place?"
"Whatever it is, I...can't get involved. I have to find Kirux, and he probably knows where I can."
She ran after him.
Stop: A Day in Agrabah - KH ReCOM
Xion ran up to him.
"Oh, hey!" He said, smiling at her, "It's good to see you again."
"Where's Kirux?!" She yelled, summoning her Keyblade.
"Whoa! No need to be so hostile. I don't know what you're talking about."
"You can't fool me! I know you know where he is."
...
"Alright, you got me. You want the truth? He came back to our side."
"What?"
"You heard me. He's rejoined the Organization, which...he never should have left in the first place."
She shook her head, "No! He would never."
"Oh, but he did. He's given us his complete loyalty, so he's not leaving again."
"Enough!" She yelled, and ran at him. She struck him once, sending him back towards the palace doors.
...
...
...
Demyx's face changed. He went from cheery to angry, all because of the one attack.
"You asked for it, traitor."
Xion readied herself.
Play: The 13th Dilemma - KH2
A dome of water surrounded him, where his weapon appeared at the top.
Demyx made the first move, yelling out "Dance Water Dance!" After that, several water figures appeared around him and Xion.
She dealt with them one by one, either with magic or physical attacks.
When the figures were gone, Demyx slumped over. Xion took that opportunity, and attacked him.
A few combos in, Demyx retaliated. He dashed around the area, pillars of water rising whenever he did. When he landed, more pillars appeared around him.
Most of these pillars hit Xion, not only hurting her, but soaking her.
Water was dripping from her coat, but she kept fighting. Demyx could hit like a truck, but he was very weak when it comes to defense.
Xion knew that.
After a few blizzard spells did nothing, she decided to use something else.
She ran at Demyx, and unleashed a devastating attack. Her Keyblade struck him over and over again, the last six attacks coming much slower, but more powerful.
The attack had put him in a lot of pain, but he had one more attack.
...
"Come on! Get to the beat!" He yelled, as pillars of water converged on him and Xion. He was also swinging his sitar, as he moved closer to her.
The final pillars hit Xion, and she was drenched even further.
"Had enough yet?" Demyx taunted.
Xion shook her head, her anger only rising, "Hardly."
She ran at Demyx again, avoiding any bulbs of water he launched at her.
When she was in range, she knocked him into the air with five hits. Then, she charged up a large, cylindrical burst of light.
After a short time, it fired, and tons of projectiles were launched towards Demyx. All but one hit him.
...
Demyx collapsed to the ground, defeated.
Stop: The 13th Dilemma - KH2
His Sitar disappeared.
When he looked down at his hand, he screamed.
"No way!" He said, collapsing back to his knees, and fading away for good.
...
...
...
Xion remained standing there, panting hard and still soaking wet. Her Keyblade faded away.
"I think...I've caused enough trouble here."
A corridor appeared before her, "Time to go dry off."
She ran in, as the portal shut behind her.
Play: Organization XIII - KH2
"Well, isn't that just unfortunate. I've got to say, that girl is a lot tougher than I thought."
"She's nothing. At least, not to our newest weapon."
"Ah, her best friend. Right. How's he doing, by the way."
"I'd be willing to bet that he's under our control by now. Am I right?"
...
Xemnas looked down at Saix, "What do you have to report on him?"
"Lord Xemnas, the rehabilitation process is complete. He's no longer in control."
"So, you turned him into a puppet? Hmph, the last one wasn't very effective."
"This time is different. If Xion is able to break our control, we have a solution to destroy them both."
"And what's that?"
Xemnas smiled, "It is of no concern. Show him to me."
...
Kirux appeared in the room.
He looked the same, but not even Nobodies can see inside a person.
On the inside, the real Kirux was trapped inside. The Organization had put the darkness in his heart in control, so that he'd do their bidding.
This was not the Kirux you know, but merely a puppet for the Organization.
He could see everything that was happening, but was powerless to do anything to stop it.
...
"There's only one problem," Saix spoke up, "It appears he's lost the ability to wield the Keyblade."
"No matter. We have all the hearts we need, thanks to Sora."
...
He looked down at Kirux, "You...are now our greatest weapon."
He didn't respond.
"What do you want me to do?"
"There is a traitor to our Organization out on the run. You will find them, and deal with them accordingly."
...
"What's their name?"
Xemnas smiled.
"Xion."
Aaaaaaand cliffhanger.
You can't not have a Demyx scene and not have him say "Dance Water Dance!" It's pretty much required.
Hope you enjoyed.
I'll see you in the next one!
