My Pov

After leaving the Pride Lands, I noticed that Twilight Town had reappeared. Salamon and Veemon had reappeared too.

"Sora, look! Twilight Town is back!" I said. He took immediate notice to it.

"Let's head there!" Sora said. We landed in Twilight Town. I felt a huge rush of nostalgia wash over me as we landed in Tram Common. Then, I saw the boy, Vivi, running franticly and calling for help.

"H-Help! The sandlot! It's Seifer! Somebody please help us!" Vivi yelled.

"Sounds like we've got trouble!" Sora said. We hurried to the sandlot. I saw that Seifer and his two friends, Rai and Fuu, were laying unconscious on the ground. I noticed the Struggle bat next to Seifer. Poor guy probably tried to fight them off, but that bat wouldn't have any effect on them. Sora and me stood in front of them.

"Stay down!" I said.

"We'll take it from here!" Sora said/ Dealing with the Dusks was easy. That's when several Berserk Nobodies appeared. They were much more difficult to beat(in my opinion, the Berserk Nobody is the toughest of the lower Nobodies). I had to go into my Wisdom Form just to dodge attacks. I jumped into the air and pointed Starlight at the Nobodies.

"Prism Rain!" I shouted. Salvos of colors rained down on to the Nobodies, eradicating all of them. I reverted from Wisdom Form.

"Impressive." a voice said. That's when I heard someone clapping as if applauding. I looked to see a member of the Organization. Salamon and Veemon hissed and growled. "By the way, have you seen a man named Axel? I expect he's here somewhere."

"Like we care." Sora said.

"You see, Axel is no longer acting in our best interest." the unknown said.

"Is he with the Organization, too?" Goofy asked.

"Yes." the unknown said.

"You havin' a fight?" Donald asked.

"Your not a very organized Organization, are you?" I asked. The man pointed to me and Sora.

"Don't let your guards down. Axel will stop at nothing to turn the two of you into Heartless." the unknown said.

"Gee, thanks for looking out for us, mister. But I'm sure we can take care of ourselves just fine." Sora said.

"Glad to hear it. Axel aside, it would break our hearts to hear something happened to the both of you." the unknown said.

"What hearts? You're just empty shells." I said.

"True, we don't have hearts. But we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special." the unknown said. He removed his hood, revealing his face. Wait... he looked like-

"Isa?" I asked. I felt Sora, Donald and Goofy look at me weird.

"Do ya know him, Hikari?" Goofy asked. I wasn't sure how to answer. First Demyx reminded me of Myde and now this guy reminded me of Isa.

"I am no longer Isa. I am known only as Saïx." That's when I saw it. His eyes were yellow-gold, like Xehanort's! A portal appeared behind him. "Also, if I were you, I'd be on the lookout for the other rogue members of the Organization." the unknown said.

"Rogue members?" Donald asked.

"Yes. Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia and Larxene. They are also members who have betrayed us and will be annihilated when they are found. Sora, your Highness, both of you just worry about fighting the Heartless." Saïx answered.

"Let's jump in after him!" Sora whispered.

"How come?" Donald asked.

"That portal might lead us to the Nobody's world." I said.

"Don't be reckless. Do you want to end up like Riku?" Saïx asked. That question made my heart drop into my stomach.

"What?" Sora asked. Saïx walked into the portal and vanished.

"Wait!" I shouted. Had something happened to Riku since I last saw him?

"Hey, how 'bout you get out of my town now? You've caused enough trouble." Seifer said.

"Riku..." Sora mumbled. Raichu climbed on to Sora's shoulder while Veemon tugged on Sora's pant leg. Salamon nudged my leg with her head.

"Have it your way! C'mon, guys!" Donald said.

"Hold it!" Seifer said.

"Make up your mind!" Donald huffed. Seifer held up a trophy with five crystal balls. "This goes to the strongest guy in Twilight Town." He was talking to Sora.

"Thanks, but... we don't really need it." Sora said. Seifer didn't take no for an answer and shoved the trophy to Goofy. He and his group left. I heard footsteps behind us and looked to see Pence.

"Oh! Sora! Hikari!" Pence called.

"Pence! Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Do you guys know two girls named Kage and Kairi?" Pence asked. Just like that, my heart leapt back into my chest.

"K... Kage and Kairi!? We sure do!" Sora exclaimed.

"Then you guys better come to the station." Pence said. We hurried to the station where Hayner and Olette were waiting.

"Hi. So how do the three of you know Kage and Kairi?" I asked. The three of them shared a sad look and then began to tell us.

"Kairi and Kage were really here!?" Sora exclaimed.

"Yeah. And... they said they were looking for you two." Hayner said.

"Tell us where they are! I begged.


No one's Pov

Hayner recounted how the girls suddenly appeared in Twilight Town and how they were wanting to find Sora and Hikari.

"What a romantic story!" Olette said.

"If you stick around, Sora and Hikari are bound to show up." Pence said.

"Yeah, they said they'd come back." Hayner said.

"Okay!" Kairi said.

"I hope so." Kage said. Just then a voice came from nowhere.

"What took you and Kage so long, Kairi?" a familiar voice asked. A dark corridor opened on one side of the room to reveal Axel and his Magmar. "Somehow, I just knew you girls would be here. I tell ya, Kairi, you and Kage have a lot of guts jumping right into the darkness like that." Axel started toward the two girls. Both Hayner and Pence tried to stop him, but both were brushed off by the Nobody. A BlackAgumon appeared and attacked Labramon, reducing her to her In-Training Form. It then grabbed her and Kage's Nyaromon. Axel harshly grabbed the young Heartless and princess's wrist and pulled them into the corridor.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Kairi demanded.

"Get your hands off us!" Kage said. Kage helplessly pounded on the man's hand, trying to break loose but to no avail. Pluto followed them and the corridor vanished.

Sora pulled out the Wayfinder Kairi had made a year ago and sadly looked at it.

"Kairi..." Sora sadly said. He put the charm back into his pocket.

"Do ya think it mighta have been Axel?" Goofy asked.

"Sorry..." Hayner said. They were upset that they couldn't stop him.

"It's not your fault! You did what you could." I said that, but I couldn't help but feel sad. If only we had gotten here sooner.

"We've gotta help them!" Sora sudden outburst caused Goofy to drop the trophy, which caused the five crystals to fall off. Hayner picked up the red one, Olette picked up the yellow one and Pence picked up the green one.

"That was close!" Pence said. The blue one and white one hadn't gone too far. Sora picked up the blue crystal and I picked up the white crystal. Goofy took out the blue crystal from the pouch and Donald took out the white crystal. We held them out toward the sun and the others did the same.

For a brief moment, Sora became Roxas and Hikari became Nikko. The two teens were in a daze, but soon snapped out of it at the sound of Donald's voice. The two snapped their attention to their friends. A strong wind blew around them as the two crystals began to glow. They floated into the air, circling each other. Sora and Hikari stood back to back and pointed their Keyblades to the ground. A string of light shot from the orbs and reveal the Keyhole. Together, the key bearer and princess unlocked the Keyhole. The group left Twilight Town, following the new road that had been opened.
