(Xehanort Plays)
Xehanort was at the Keyblade Graveyard with his vessels."She is very..incredible...I must admit..the three of them have surpass Ventus, Terra and Aqua..remarkable. I'm sure Eraqus would have been proud." He muttered under his breath, a smirking forming on his face. This was such an enjoyment to him, he hadn't had such excitement in a long time.
"What's the plan, old man?" Xigbar asked.
"Same plan as always. I know now what is the fire in Sora's heart..." He smiled to himself."The princess of light and the boy who succumbed to the darkness. Sora can not contain all the pain and suffering lend by those around him, instead all of those emotions will become rage and hatred within him. It's only minutes away."
"Well said." Xemnas said. Master Xehanort walked over to one of his vessels and took the hood off, to reveal a brown haired man. It was Terra. Although his eyes were very dull. He seemed to have no emotion what so ever...he was like a living puppet.
"Soon I will have another vessel added to my collection, won't be long now." Master Xehanort smiled evily. He could almost feel the power of the X-blade in his hands.
"That witch is going to be in competition with ya!" Xigbar replied.
"She is of no use to me, she will only get in my way. Deal with her if she intrudes in my plans."
"Not a problem, old man." Xigbar smiled. He was excited to start a brawl. Master Xehanort remembered when his past self took advantage of Maleficent, as every other villain, they were just a spawn to him. Xehanort just had that power about him, he was able to manipulate those around him.

(Lazy Afternoon Plays)
Kairi was the first one to get out of the train. She twirled around and smiled to herself."You sure are happy." Riku said.
"It's been a while since I've been back!" Kairi smiled."I miss talking to Olette." Riku smiled at her younger friend. Sora smiled.
"The three of us..here I'm glad!" Sora cheesed looking at Kairi.(Look up Come! by Silith2002)
"Come on you guys let's go see what the others are up to!" Kairi cried happily. She rushed out the doors.
"She sure is happy." Sora smiled, he put both of his hands behind his head and began to walk after her. Riku was deep in thought. It just came to him..when him and Sora defeated Xemnas, he remembered Sora telling him,"Maybe the darkness had gotten to him to." Riku should have realized from that very moment what Sora was talking about. Why didn't he realize it? Riku made an uncomfortable look, he sighed to himself and put his hand on his forehead. What was he going to do? He had to protect his best friend somehow. Sora looked back to see Riku lost in thought."Riku, you okay?" Riku looked at Sora, who was concerned for his friend. Riku smiled softly and walked over to his friend. He put his hand on Sora's spiky hair and rubbed it. Sora looked at his best friend confused."Eh?"
"It's nothing, Sora don't worry about it." Is all Riku said, he walked through the doors to meet up with Kairi. Sora cocked his head confused at his friend's sudden change in attitude.
"What was that all about?" Sora walked after his friends and saw Kairi and Riku looking at a chubby man.
"Well, don't the two of you look interested in a struggle event!" He yelled proudly."I haven't seen you two around you must have came for this every year competition."
"Struggle?" Kairi asked Riku. Riku remembered the virtual Twilight Town when Roxas had to do the struggle event.
"It's basically like fighting competition, but you are using struggle bats, whoever wins gets a trophy. You have to also collect all the orbs." Riku explained.
"My, My..My boy knows his stuff! Are you interested, the last champion was Seifer." Riku and Kairi looked at each other and shrugged his shoulders. They weren't really interested in it, especially Kairi, although she knows how to fight..she never really enjoyed it..she only fought because she had to and to protect the ones she loved. Sora overheard this and quickly rushed over to his best friends and wrapped his arms around their neck.
"Of course!"
"S-sora…" Kairi cried.
"Really.." Riku muttered. Sora grinned happily.
"We'd be happy to join, when is it?"
"It will be soon, we are just gathering some people who will join."
"Well no worries!" Sora said. The chubby man nodded.
"What are your names, so I can put you down?"
"SORA!" Sora yelled. Sora looked at his best friend, making a face. Riku held his forehead with frustration.
"I guess…I have no choice." Riku muttered under his breath. He really wasn't into this type of event..and it made him a bit uncomfortable from the last time he viewed this."It's Riku."
"Riku…Sora..got it." The chubby man. The man turned his attention to Kairi.
"I don't think I will participate on this one." Kairi said.
"Not a problem, young lady." The man said."The tournament will be held soon, look around for posters." The man said. He walked away back into the town.
"Thanks for the invite..Sora." Riku said sarcastic. Riku crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Come on! You know you wanted to join anyway! It will be like old times..when we use to team up back at the islands!"
"I don't think so."
"What's with you?" Riku sighed and shook his head.
"Sora….you wouldn't understand…" Riku walked away towards the Market Street. He seemed to be in a world of his own and he had no intention of discussing it with Sora nor Kairi. Sora made a confused face and looked at where Riku left.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"I'm sure it wasn't you, Sora. He's just dealing with something right now.." Kairi said. Sora made a pout.
"I wonder what's bothering him." Sora asked himself.
XxXxXxXxX
"Pence! Hayner!" Olette cried, chasing after her two friends down the street."I told you! We have to study!"
"No way! I HAVE to sign up for this tournament..NO WAY AM I going to let Seifer win this time!" Hayner yelled. Olette stopped running and bent over to catch her breath. She looked up to see her two friends run in the sandlot.
"Why..do I even bother?" Olette muttered to herself. She noticed a presence behind she turned to see Riku."Oh, Riku you're back."
"Yeah."
"When did you get here?" Olette cried standing up.
"Just now. Sora and Kairi are here as well." Riku explained.
"Really? Awww." Olette cried holding her cheeks."Love can't separate those two." She smiled to herself. Riku rose an eyebrow at her awkwardly.
'She reminds me too much of Selphie..' Riku thought to himself. Riku walked past her.
"Where are you going?" Selphie asked.
"I'm just taking a walk…Sora and Kairi should be coming down here any second." Riku calmly said. He walked away leaving the confused Olette. Sora and Kairi walked down the small hill.
"Hey, Sora do you feel suddenly half complete all of a sudden?"
"What do you mean, Kairi?" Sora asked. Kairi felt her heart while walking with Sora.
"I don't know I just feel like…Namine isn't here anymore..is Roxas still with you?"
"Hmm, yeah Roxas is with me..maybe Namine departed from you..sometimes Roxas does that as well." Sora said trying to still make sense of all of this. "Maybe she went to the old mansion."
"Old mansion?" Kairi asked. Sora paused and caught himself.
"Was that Roxas talking?"
"Yeah.." Sora said nervously. Kairi giggled at her friend.
"There you are!" Olette cried running towards Sora and Kairi.
"Olette!" The redhead smiled cheerfully.
"Hey! Olette!" Sora said. Olette looked at the two constantly and then began to giggle to herself.
"Romantic!"
"What?!" Sora asked jumping back."What is that so supposed to mean?" Sora turned red..blushing. Just what was Olette blabbing about? Kairi couldn't help but laugh at Sora's reaction. But even she was a bit embrassed by Olette's remark.
"Let's go to the usual spot!" Olette suggested.
XxXxXxXx
Riku had his hands in his pocket, while walking through the town. He felt as though he had some unfinished business. He made his way towards The woods. He eye's got big he was surprised to see someone lying on the ground."Namine?!" Riku asked.
(Lazy Afternoon Ends)
Riku ran towards Namine who lying down on the ground unconscious. "Namine?" Riku asked again. Namine moaned a bit and got up she looked a bit confused.
"Riku..?" She whispered. Riku bent down and rested on one knee. "What are you doing here? I mean...here."
"Ha..I should be asking you the same thing.." Riku said."What happened?" Namine slowly placed her hand on her head.
"I just felt dizzy, I'm not really use to leaving Kairi like that, but I felt a strong presence near by." Namine explained.
"You too, huh?" Riku asked. Riku looked over towards The Old Mansion.
"What are you doing here, Riku?"
"Just browsing...I've been thinking of what I've done to Roxas..it just dawn to me..that and about Sora..I feel like I own Roxas an apologize..for everything..ya know? Not really big on apologizes either." Riku admitted. Namine smiled at him.
"I'm sure Roxas understands." Namine smiled.
"Yeah..well.." Riku muttered. He decided to drop the subject about his thoughts about Roxas. "You were headed towards the Old Mansion?" Riku asked. Riku extended his hand toward Namine to help her up. (Look up Namiku Day 1 by tifany1988) Namine slowly took his hand as she stood up. The nobody thanked Riku. "I'll come with you."
"Thank you, Riku." Namine said. Riku and Namine walked out of the woods and infront of the Old Mansion. Namine held both of her hands together."You were saying about Sora's darkness." Riku stopped walking as did Namine. Riku knew Namine had some answers and maybe he could get some from her. Seeing as Mickey nor Master Yen Sid wouldn't tell him more details. But their conversation was stopped when dusks began to appear.
"Perfect timing." Riku muttered. "Namine, go hide." Riku ordered. Namine couldn't use any powers because she wasn't with Kairi at the moment. Namine nodded while Riku rose his keyblade above his head ready for battle.
(Tension Rising Plays)
Riku quickly attacked the dusks that were crawling towards him, they tried to do a front kick at him. Riku of course reversed around each of them. Doing that move was no problem now, seeing as he and Sora had to use that constantly when facing off against Xemnas. Riku jumped in the air and attacked the nobodies, they were easy as pie. Once Riku defeated the dusks, suddenly samurai's appeared. Riku with no hesitation, used his Dark Shield when the three samurai's tried to quick slash him. Once the samurai's finish their attack. Riku used began to glow with purple darkness. He jumped from side to side, using Dark Arua. He landed with his Way To Dawn through the ground, finishing the move. The nobodies around him then disappeared leaving nothing. Riku lowered his keyblade once it seemed like the close was clear. He saw Namine come running towards him.
(Tension Rising Ends)
"You okay?" Riku asked.
"I'm fine.. I think we should discuss more inside." The blond girl said. She walked inside the gate. Riku walked after her and followed her inside. Namine lead Riku back into The White Room. All the drawings she had did were still there. Riku walked inside and looked at the paintings as if they were knew while Namine sat down in one of the seats. Riku looked at the drawing of him, Sora and Kairi when they were younger on the islands.
"..."Namine looked at Riku's face and made a sad look. Riku turned back to Namine.
"So, what's going on with Sora?" Riku asked. The last time had had a deep conversation with Namine was when Sora was asleep trying to regain his memories back. Namine let out a big breath.
"As you already know Sora has to heal those around him. But..it may be to much for him."
"What do you mean?" Namine looked out the window.
"Many people are suffering..but they share their pain with Sora..their agony..hatred..sadness." Namine said."It's so much he can take. All that energy will bring him further into the darkness."
"There has to be something we can do." Riku said. Namine shook her head.
"I can't do anything..I'm only able to control the memories around Sora...but I'm unable to..there is some type of force preventing me from doing so..."
"A force?" Riku asked confused. It didn't make any sense. Namine looked up at Riku, her expression was hard to read.
"Something within Sora...it's someone else besides Roxas.."
"..." Riku was very confused but listened on to get a better understanding.
"As you know Sora and Roxas are connected..even if he does have a heart now, as well as I..we can't become our own whole selves because we already have joined with Sora and Kairi. Roxas is Sora and Sora is Roxas." (Look up So similar, yet so different by kh2-freakk) Riku already knew this, but didn't say anything. "Sora shares another connection with someone else..."(Look up Hearts by ArtistWithoutName)
(Ventus Theme Plays)
"Another one?" Riku asked."Who is this person?" Namine smiled sadly.
"He is one of the lights you have to find." Is all she could say. Riku tried to figure out who exactly this person was.
"I don't have all the details on him...that is something I can't piece together within Sora's memories...it's..it's untouchable for me." Namine explained.
"I see.." Riku looked at the ground and back at Namine.
"Riku, Sora can't do this alone." Namine said. "Sora's heart can only take so much." (Look up Sora by Kairi927) "Sora has four people that make him fully complete." (Look up Where We Belong by DoubleRainbowWTF)."You saved Sora before from the darkness...I'm sure you can do it again, Riku." Riku smiled to himself sadly.
"I'm not to sure about that..." Riku said negative."I made be called the Keyblade Master..but I don't seem to act like one...the darkness doesn't have a toll on me..but I couldn't say Sora from this fate...I feel like I'm just letting him down each and every day." Riku sighed. Namine smiled sadly at Riku.
"I don't you are helping alot, Riku..more than you know." Namine explained.
"What?" The older boy asked.
"Sora would have been swallowed by darkness a long time ago, if you didn't help. Even now. Right now me and Roxas are doing all we can do help Sora. He needs you and Kairi's help alot. Especially you Riku." Riku closed his eyes and remembered his memories of being with Sora. How he was always the one to protect Sora. That was short of his job.
(Riku Theme Plays)
(Look up [MMD] KH ~ Memories when we played by IchiLewis) Riku recalled chasing after the hot-tempered Sora when they were younger. It seemed like nothing abnormal would change their lives forever. All they ever did was do sword fights and go treasure hunting. Sometimes he wished he could go back to that lifestyle. Those days were just simple. (Look Up Prewiew 2- Sora and Riku by kazuki9484) When they had that deep conversation..when all was lost for them..after they have defeated Xemnas. The two of them...stating that they would be the darkness of that world. Sora would share Riku's darkness with him. He didn't care as long as he had his best friend by his side. (Look up Almost Finished by Shinobis-Destiny)As soon as they got back from the islands. Sora would always be there for him. Even if he made some terrible mistakes. (Look up My Friends are my power!-MMD by danit09182) Sora made a promise to Riku that whatever happens, he would stick by his friend no matter what. Even if it was a childish pinky promise.(Look up It's a secret promise by tifany1988). Each and everyday Riku could feel his best friend slipping away. As much as Sora tried to hide it..it was real. Sora was fading into darkness..slowly but surely. Unlike Riku..Sora had no control over it..Riku was losing his best friend. (Look up Aligned by ShatteredSapphire). Riku had to do something..even if it did cost him his life.
Riku opened his green eyes and looked at Namine. "I'll do all I can. I will..." Riku said. "Besides Sora...is a lot stronger than he looks." Riku smirked to himself. Namine smiled at Riku's sudden attitude.
"You're right." Namine said. "We should go back." Namine said. Riku smiled at Namine who got up to walk out the door. Riku noticed a drawing she must have just recently drawn. Riku picked up the piece of paper and looked to see an image of Sora and himself when they were kids.
"Tch." Riku smirked. Namine always did have a way to make people "think" positive.

(Lazy Afternoon Plays)
"I got it! How about the two of you go down and catch that train." Olette smiled. Sora and Kairi looked at each other, the two of them were sitting at the Usual Spot. "It's a romantic place for the two of you!"
"Romantic?! What..the..what is with you and that stuff..?!" Sora asked blushing again rubbing the back of his head. Kairi shook her head.
"I actually never been there before..what about Riku?" Kairi asked.
"Right, Riku..!" Sora said getting up."We should go look for him!"
"I'm sure he is fine, Sora! I just saw Riku and he wanted to be alone for a few seconds!" Olette said with a huff. Sora crossed his arms a bit upset.
"I hope he's still not mad about me ditching you guys.." Sora quietly said.
"I'm sure he isn't Sora." Kairi grinned."He probably has a lot on his mind.." Kairi said."He needs space..we all do." Kairi said.
"I guess you're right..Kairi." Sora muttered. Olette clapped her hands.
"So it's a date!" Olette yelled.
"WHAT?!" Sora yelled.
"Oh, Sora! A date meeting hanging out..?" Olette asked.
"..." Sora had an uncomfortable look on his face. He didn't like the idea of calling it a "Date." Olette giggled at Sora.
"I'll take you to the train station. It's another beautiful spot to watch the sunset." Olette got up along with Kairi and pushed Sora outside.
"Wha..but..Riku..?!" Sora yelled.
"Don't worry I'll tell him where the two of you went!" She was so excited for the two of them. Oh how she wished Hayner could be so sweet like this.
"But...!" Sora whined. Olette continued to push him.
"Hehhe, I'm sure it will be fun, Sora." Kairi smiled, holding her hands behind her back.
"Ehhhhhhhhh?!" Sora did.
XxXxXxXx
Olette walked with her friends toward the station. The two of them were ahead of Sora who didn't seem to like the idea of this. "Hurry up, Sora!" The brown haired girl yelled.
"Ugh!" Sora groaned, the young boy walked along the two girls. Olette walked them in the station.
"You two have fun!" She cried with a wave. Sora was about to yell "wait" but Olette had already left. Sora turned to Kairi who was smiling brightly at him. It couldn't be helped.
"Let's go Sora!" The train was already there. Sora sighed deeply.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Sora and Kairi walked in the train to see other people already there. Kairi sat on one of the free seats. Sora awkwardly walked towards Kairi. He didn't really expect this nor did he know what to do. Riku was always the ladies man even if he thought the girls back home were a big annoyance. Sora sat down next to Kairi and rubbed the back of his head with a small smile. The train door close and he could feel the train slowly moving.
"I never really been on this side of Twilight Town it must be nice."
"Me neither well once..well if you count Roxas..." Sora said confused.
"Heheh..is he still with you?"
"Yeah."
" I wonder where Namine went though." Kairi asked with curious.
"I'm sure she is fine. Roxas would know if she would wasn't okay as well as you."
"You're right hehe I worry to much." Sora shrugged his shoulders.
"Who doesn't nowadays."
"You are right Sora." Kairi stared at Sora who was trying not to look directly into Kairi's aqua eyes.
'Why am I so nervous around Kairi...it was never that bad!'
'The one who saves the world various times can't even talk to your lady?' Roxas said.
"Shut up." Sora said.
"Did you say something, Sora?" The redhead asked.
"Nooo!" Sora breathed slowly, trying to calm himself down.
'I wonder what Riku is doing...he's probably having more fun than me.'
XxxxxX
Riku had his arms crossed and was a bit annoyed, several girls from the town were surrounding him as soon as he came back to the woods..they were in packs."You're back! Oh mygosh you are so cute! Are you going to join the tournament?" Riku face palmed.
"You sure are popular." Namine said next to her.
"You have no idea.." Riku muttered. Riku walked through, to go towards the sandlot. Luckily the fans didn't follow him. "Isn't that Hayner and Pence...?" Riku asked. Hayner and Pence were looking at the bulletin board. Hayner seemed to be excited about something. Riku and Namine walked over the two. Pence noticed Riku behind him. The chubby boy smiled.
"Hey!"
"Wassup." Riku said cooly.
"You signing up for the tournament?!" Hayner asked hyper.
"Yeah...well I was forced to.." Riku rolled his eyes.
"It's going to be big! I can feel it!" Hayner made a fist."I'm going to win this time!" Riku rose an eyebrow.
"Sure.." Riku decided to change the subject."Have you seen Sora and Kairi?"
"Sora?! He's here." Hayner cried. He didn't even see him nor Kairi."I didn't even know he was here let alone Kairi." He was bit surprised.
"Hmm..last time I was with Kairi..she was with Olette." Namine said.
"I should probably go check with her." Riku said to Namine.
"Who are you talking to?" Hayner asked looking at Riku like he had three heads. Riku forgot Namine wasn't visible to them.
"Doesn't matter. Have you see that Olette girl?"
"Olette girl?!" Hayner asked getting a bit steamed. Pence had no problem with it.
"She should be around..if not in the usual spot then probably in one of the markets shopping."
"Thanks." Riku said walking away with Namine. Hayner whispered to one of his best friends.
"He's a bit weird don't ya think?"
"You're one to talk, huh Hayner."
"Hey! No ice cream for you, Pence!"
XxXxXxXxX
Sora walked with Kairi at Sunset Station as well as other people as well."I guess I should show you the sunset." Sora said.
"Okay, Sora! Lead the way!" Sora and Kairi walked down the stairs as Sora pointed out to her all the different spots, etc. It kinda of felt like Roxas was taking over at this point. Kairi was happy to be with Sora..it was rare that the two of them hung out so close. Sora lead Kairi to the Sunset Hill. Kairi walked over to the fence as well as Sora.
"It's beautiful..!" Kairi said observing the sunset. She had to admit this was the perfect spot to view it.
"Yeah.." Sora said dreamy, staring into Kairi. Kairi noticed his tone in voice, she looked at him confused. Sora instantly caught himself and laughed nervously. Kairi smiled to herself."I still have your lucky charm." Sora grinned.
(Kairi's theme plays)
Kairi was grateful that Sora still had her lucky charm. Sora gave it to her, she was a bit surprised that he had given it to her. "I'm giving it back..because I want you to hold on to it..for a while if anything happened.." Kairi was confused at Sora..just where was this coming from. Sora went to go seat down on the bench. Kairi followed, she was concerned with Sora..he seemed to be having a good time before..what was the sudden mood switch. Sora sighed deeply but smiled at the same time."Kairi, if anything happens I want you to stick by Riku's side, he will protect you." Sora said outloud.
"Sora..where is this coming from?" Sora closed his eyes to himself. He knew things won't be the same anymore. How he wished it could be. Just him, Kairi and Riku on the islands again. But he knew deep down...Vanitas was trying desperately to control him. He was holding on ...for now but he didn't know when he would lose control again. The last thing he wanted was to hurt his friends. Sora opened his eyes again.
"You have to promise me that you will be with Riku, okay?"
"Sora..I." Kairi muttered. Sora looked at Riku and smiled.
"Hey, I make promises to you and I NEVER break them, so you have to make a promise to me!" Kairi smiled sadly. She still didn't understand where he was coming from, but she agreed.
"Okay..Sora.." Sora nodded to himself. "Well you have to make a promise to me again." Sora cocked his head with confusion.
"You have to promise me that you will always me with me." Sora gasped quietly and looked at the ground.
"..." Sora didn't know what to say. But he had no choice but to agree to her request.
"I promise, Kairi." Sora said.
"Good." Kairi smiled. The two of them looked up as the sunset. Sora turned slowly to Kairi and noticed her looking at the sunset deep in thought. Sora didn't know what to do or say..maybe if he copied what they did in the movies...Sora stared at Kairi dreamy. He couldn't help but just stare at her delicate face. Kairi noticed Sora was watching her at the corner of her eye. She was about to ask what he was staring at when he noticed he was getting closer and closer towards her face. She didn't know what to expect of him. Sora closed his eyes and was inches from Kairi's face.(Look up [MMD] Sunset Hills by kazuki9484) Suddenly they heard screaming. Sora quickly stopped what he was doing as well as Kairi. They came back to their senses. Several people were running up the hill..looking for safety.
"Monster! Monster!" One of the civilians yelled.
(Tension Rising Plays)
"Monster?!" Sora asked jumping up from the seat. Kairi got up from her seat and put her hand up in defense. They looked to see dusks swarming after the civilians along with creepers. Sora instinctively took out his keyblade along with Kairi. "We'll take care of this!" Sora and Kairi teamed up and attacked the nobodies that were coming on either side."Take this!" Sora yelled dodging each attack and hitting both nobodies at the same time.
"Strength!" Kairi yelled. Her keyblade glowed with light. Kairi charged at the nobodies that tried to jump her but she quickly did a 10x combo on every one of them. But the more they attacked the more nobodies kept appearing. "They just keep appearing, Sora!" Kairi cried.
"There must be a leader.." Sora muttered."We have to get to the leader!"
"But..what about them..?" Kairi asked..if they left then the townfolks's would be doomed. Sora bit his lip. He didn't know which one to do...stay and fight them off.. repeatedly or go off and find the leader. His answers appeared right infront of him. Roxas was in his regular clothes he jumped down with a keyblade Sora had used previously after he fought Roxas in The World That Never Was.(Look up [MMD] Roxas Pose 2 by RoxasXIIIAxelVIII).
"Roxas? What are you doing?!" Sora asked confused.
"I'll hold them off, you go back to the town and deal with the big guy! Namine is already there with Riku."
"Will you be okay?" Kairi asked.
"I'll be fine." Roxas smiled. He knew the townspeople didn't see him, but as long as he was able to deal with the nobodies that was fine with him.
"Okay, we're counting on you." Sora said giving a thumbs up.
"Go on lover boy." Roxas whispered under his breath. Sora glared at him a bit and ran off with Kairi back to town. Roxas looked at the dusks and the creepers,"Never though I'd face you guys again." Roxas said calmly. "Well here goes nothing!" Roxas yelled jumping in the air ready to attack. (Look up Roxas Pose 1 by RoxasXIIIAxelVIII)
XxXxXxX
Riku and Namine ran up the hill to see other townfolks run away from the nobodies that were chasing them. They seemed to be coming from the station."Everything was fine until these guys showed up!" Riku said. Riku and Namine were just about to meet up with Olette to see where she was when all of a sudden the nobodies came out of nowhere.
"They did show up at the Mansion..someone is probably watching us or perhaps testing us." Namine cried.
"Organization.." Riku muttered under his breath. The two ran past the people up at the station. They saw a bunch of nobodies gather together as if they were forming some type of boss. The nobodies began to grow into one big giant nobody. It was the Twilight Thorn."Shit.." Riku cursed under his breath. He moved Namine to stay back, The Twilight Thorn saw Riku and Namine and slammed them backs. Namine and Riku fell back on their back from the strong nobodies arm. Riku and Namine slowly got up."You okay?" Riku asked.
"Y-Yeah.." Namine said. The Twilight Torn was finished. He quickly grabbed Riku in his arms about to attack him when.
"HEY YOU UGLY!" A voice cried. Riku still struggling by the nobodies grasps looked to see Sora and Kairi running towards the boss. It was hard to believe the two of them could even get through, since the Twilight Torn was so big. Sora threw his keyblade at The Twilight Thorn's head. It jiggled it's head in pain, dropping Riku. Riku managed to land on his feet. The keyblade reappeared in Sora's hand.
"Namine!" Kairi cried. Namine stood up and looked at her somebody. The Twilight Thorn was in raged and quickly stopped his foot making everyone lose their balance. Sora looked up and recalled Roxas facing this boss. It was like deaj'vu for him. Sora's body suddenly had a wierd thing wrapped around him.
"Sora!" Kairi cried. The next thing Sora knew he was trapped in mid-air pinned to what looked like some type of light mixed with darkness. Sora tried to get out of it. Twilight Thorn quickly grabbed him and then threw him in mid-air.
"Sora!" Riku yelled again. Sora was flying down towards the Twilight Torn. Twilight Torn was was about to slam him when Sora quickly regained himself and hit him hard on the face. It growled and fell face on the floor. Sora jumped down next to Kairi who was a bit pleased at Sora. Riku took this chance and started to attack The Twilight Thorn. Kairi rushed also towards the knocked out Twilight Thorn. Sora was about to rush in as well with his keyblade when he noticed on top of the Clock Tower he thought he saw Roxas...he was sitting down in his organization cloak and there was some type of person in an armor form..it was holding two swords.
"What?!" Sora yelled confused.
"Sora! Move!" Riku warned. The Twilight Thorn was awake now and it had thrown a huge ball. Sora quickly without thinking threw his keyblade at the ball causing it to explode. The Twilight Thorn once again fell down on the ground. Sora looked up to see the armor on the clock tower was gone along with Roxas. Namine noticed Sora's concentration was else where. She made a frown.

"Great job, Sora!" Riku yelled. Riku ran towards the big nobody and continued to constantly keep hitting it while it was down over and over again, Sora and Kairi did the same. The nobody began to stir a bit and got up, it was using the same moves as Xemnas. Sora and Riku already knew what to do. They both nodded to one another and reversaled around the nobody's attack. The nobody kept doing it over and over again but Sora and Riku were now close enough to its face. The two of them nodded to one another and quickly did Eternal Session.
"Riku!"
"Times up!"The two gave each other a pound as Twilight Thorn fell on its face. It was quickly beginning to be consumed by the darkness underneath as it grew. Riku, Namine, Kairi and Sora jumped back. So they wouldn't get caught. The darkness slowly began to vanish along with the giant nobody. It was over. Riku cockly smirked."Wasn't so hard."
"Right." Kairi said. Namine and Riku walked closer toward Kairi and Sora.

"What were you two doing?" Sora asked.
"This and That." Riku said with a shrug.
"Come on! Tell us!" Sora said.
"The question is what were you TWO doing?" Riku asked raising an eyebrow with a huge smirk.
"W-W-what we were ...w-w-weren't doing a-anything! Just t-talking!" Sora turned red and looked the other way. Kairi did as well. Namine smiled she could feel Kairi's emotions right now and they were extremely high. Sora looked up at the sky and put his hands on his hip.
"Uh..anyways..right we better go back to Roxas..!" Sora quickly changed the subject.
"Hmm." Riku half-smiled at his friends facial expression. He decided to drop it..for now."Where is Roxas?" Speaking of Roxas, he walked through the door.
"You did it." Roxas said.
"Roxas!" Sora cried to his nobody.
"Are you guys okay?" Roxas asked.
"Fine." Sora smiled. Roxas nodded to himself.
"Everything is fine back there. " Roxas smiled to Namine who smiled back. Roxas looked back at Sora.
"Guess I better get back." Roxas stared at Sora and began to glow light blue returning back. Sora always felt weird whenever Roxas did that. But he did feel complete after all.
"Your brains came back." The 16 year old said.
"Shut up!" Namine smiled looking back at Kairi she looked at Riku who nodded. Before Namine returned to Kairi, Sora stopped her."Wait Namine I've been meaning to tell you something for a while! ...Thank you!" Sora said. The Namine in his dreams weren't real so he had to thank her now. Namine smiled.
"Thanks Sora." She was very happy that Sora at least remembered to thank her..even if he didn't remember EVERYTHING that happened back at Castle Oblivion. Sora cheesed. Riku remembered he had to ask Namine about Castle Oblivion..maybe she would know who this Ven person was at.
"Also there is this girl who has short black girl..she says she's my memories..do you know what that means?" Namine made a stiff face. Xion was in fact gone forever but how was Sora able to see her? Was she just appearing subconsciously?"Whenever I see her..I always feel sad for some reason I wasn't sure if Roxas knew her or not but he said no."
"A girl with short black hair..?" Riku asked. The description did sound familiar but he didn't seem to know her either. Kairi was just clueless as to what was going on. Namine made a sad look. There was no point in explaining everything ..if she made Roxas and Riku remember she didn't know the outcome.
"All I can say is she is one of the ones that you have to heal." Namine said she slowing vanished within Kairi. Sora paused and crossed his arms confused.
"One of the ones I have to heal..." He repeated.
'I guess I'll have to ask her later..'Riku thought."When did you see her?" Riku asked.
"Well I saw her in my dreams before and I also saw her at The World That Never Was...we fought..I felt like I fought her before..." Sora muttered under his breath.
"Hmm." Riku did.
"I'm sure you will meet her again." Kairi said confident she had a feeling he would.
"You're right Kairi!" Sora smiled with hope. Riku smiled at Sora along with Kairi.
"Let's go eat some ice cream!" Sora yelled.
"Way to kill the mood..Roxas." Riku muttered.
"Hey!" Sora/Roxas yelled.
xXXXXX
Sora, Riku and Kairi were on top of the clock tower. Sora was sitting in the middle. Riku had one of his legs bent up. Holding the ice cream stick in his mouth coolly. "Woah this icecream is very good..salty yet sweet." Kairi smiled.
"You'll get use to it." Riku said still having the stick in his mouth beginning to lick the ice cream over again.
"Why do you say that?"
"Well that was Ansem The Wise's favorite ice cream..whenever he got one he would give me some."
"Oh." Is all Sora said. The weather was perfect..the warm breeze hitting their face. It was not to cold and not to hot , it was just right.
"I prefer this a better view to watch the Sunset." Kairi grinned. Kairi smiled and turned to Sora, for a moment he thought he saw the black haired girl again. Sora blinked constantly to make sure he wasn't seeing this..and it looked like he was. Roxas/Sora smiled to himself and looked at the horizon.
"I agree." A few moments later, Riku got up and looked at his friends.
"We better go say bye to your friends." Kairi got up as well as Sora. Sora pouted.
"They're your friends to ya know?" Riku was always anti-social and never really liked making new friends. He didn't really like Kairi when she came to the islands at first but he managed to get use to it. But Sora had to admit that Riku was making progress with being more open. He was alot better when they were younger.
"Yeah yeah yeah.." Riku rolled his eyes making Sora glare at him. Riku looked at Sora who made a confused face as to why he was staring."I meant to tell you that I apoglize for everything."
"Riku...?" Sora asked. 'Where was this coming from?'
"I had to do what I thought was right. I didn't realize the situation that I put you through, I'm sorry for that."
"...What are you saying?! I said I'm over it Riku!" Sora said. He thought Riku was still bringing up the past of him going into darkness, but Riku was actually talking to Roxas..within Sora. Riku saw an image of Roxas who just smiled back at Riku. Riku half-smile he understood what Roxas was saying." Hey are you listening to me, Riku?!" Sora yelled . Riku placed his hand on Sora's head.
"I hear ya."
XxxXXX
"You guys are leaving already!?" Hayner asked. Him and his friends were sitting at in the usual spot eating ice cream. Sora sheepishly said.
"Hehe sorry about that!"
"Pfft! It's okay you two just better be ready when I beat ya in tournament!" Riku was bored already and rubbed his ear."Are you even listening?!" Hayner yelled getting angry.
"Unfortunately."
"This guy!" Hayner yelled about to jump off his seat. Sora quickly grabbed Riku around the neck.
"What the...!" Riku muttered with a blank stare.
"We'll see you guys soon!"
"Be you guys go we found a chest, and some pages...we thought it might be some interest to you." Pence said. Sora took the torn pages and nodded thanks.
"Kairi you have to tell me how it went!" Olette smiled . Kairi turned a bit red, almost matching the color of her hair.
"Oh?" Riku asked. Sora laughed nervously and pulled him outside.
"Bye guys!" Kairi smiled at her friends and left with a wave.
"That guy ticks me off! He's almost as bad as Seifer!" Hayner yelled.
"Why because he's like you?" Pence asked.
"Hell no!" He yelled.
"I think he's cute." Olette said. Hayner gave her a unexplainable look.
"You're joking?" She didn't reply back but simply smiled."Olette! Pence and Olette continued help but laugh. Roxas appeared infront of them, obviously invisible to them. (Look up Looks Like My Summer Vacation Is..Over by kh2-freakkk) Roxas smiled sadly, he laughed softly to himself before disappearing again.
