Chapter 22 Alexa Part 2

Axel's POV

I continued to stare at Alexa.

"Alexa", I said in shock.

"Is it really you", Isa asked.

"Yes", Alexa replied. "It's me."

Hearing this made Isa and I smile.

Then...we ran up to Alexa and tackled her into a big hug.

"We're been looking everywhere for you", Isa revealed.

"You have", Alexa asked in shock.

"Of course", I replied.

This made Alexa smile.

"Subject X", Ienzo asked in shock.

"Ienzo", Alexa asked in shock. "Is that you?! My goodness! You're all grown up now!"

"Indeed I am", Ienzo said before changing the subject. "What are you doing here? Where have you been all this time?"

"I was freed from my cell", Alexa revealed.

"You were", I asked in shock. "By who?"

"By me."

When I heard this I turned around, and couldn't believe my eyes.

Standing in front of me...was Xigbar!

"You", I said angrily.

"You're the one who freed Alexa", Isa asked in shock.

"That's right", Xigbar replied.

"Why", I asked angrily.

"I have my reasons", Xigbar replied. "But the fact still stands that I'm the one who freed Alexa from her cell all those years ago. You haven't forgotten that have you kiddo?"

After I heard this, I turned around to see Alexa.

She looked down sadly and sighed.

"No", she started. "I haven't."

After Alexa said this, she started walking towards Xigbar!

"Wait", I said before grabbing her hand. "What are you doing?"

"Xigbar is right", Alexa stated. "He's the one who freed me from my cell all those years ago. I can't forget that."

With that...Alexa pulled her wrist out of my hand before walking up to Xigbar.

"You guys should probably go", she stated.

"No way", I stated angrily.

"We've been looking for you for years Alexa", Isa pointed out. "We're not going to just leave now that we've found you!"

"Oh", Xigbar started. "Is that so? And what about Sora?"

"What about him", I asked in confusion.

"Why do you think we kidnapped Even", Xigbar asked.

"To make a replica vessel", Isa replied.

"That was just a decoy to get you away from Sora", Xigbar revealed.

"Why would you want us to get away from...", Riku started before realizing the answer to his own question. "The Crystal Heart."

"Bingo", Xigbar said.

"What did you do to Sora", Riku asked angrily.

"I did nothing", Xigbar replied. "The Master of Masers however. Well...did any of you notice that he wasn't here?"

"We need to go back now", Riku pointed out.

"But what about Even", Ienzo asked.

"I'm right here", Even replied as he ran up to Ienzo.

"Even", Ienzo said happily. "Thank goodness you're okay."

"Save it for later guys", Riku commanded before looking at Aqua. "Aqua, open the portal home."

"But what about Ven", Aqua asked.

"He's not here anymore anyway", Roxas pointed out. "We'll look for him once we've help Sora."

With that...Aqua looked down sadly.

Then...she summoned her Keyblade...and opened the portal.
