"I'm sorry Sora..."

"Wait! What did I tell you about using the 'S' word?"

"So... You're right." Data-Riku sighed, looking at the other data-forged boy who had entered his data, trying to save his friend from the Bugs inside him.

"The Bugs are making my body rebel against me."

"So you're saying that nothing you do outside of your data, to the guys waiting in Hollow Bastion, will be intentional? That's good to hear." Data-Sora smiled at his friend.

"You don't get it! The Bugs are taking over my body!" Data-Riku tried to explain.

"What, the Bugs I'm about to squash?" Data-Sora grinned. "Look, you'll be back to your old self soon, I promise you. You don't have to worry about a thing. I'll take them out, one after another."

Data-Riku couldn't help but chuckle. "Thanks for helping me Sora."

"Hey, that's what friends are for, right?"

"Right." Riku reached out his hand. "This leads to the next world. Good luck in there." He added, watching as Sora ran to the portal and entered it, going into some world somewhere inside of him. He'd be able to see what world when the Bugs were gone from it, at he could enter it again.

"You'd better hurry Sora." He called. "The Bugs are multiplying!"

"Thanks for telling me. I'll take care of them for you!" He heard Sora reply.

"I hope he does hurry. The Bugs are rebelling more and more, all the time..." He muttered as he once again monitored his data, watching the Bugs vanish, one by one.
