Yen Sid's tower was quite crowded now. Two former organization members, four teenagers, two lost keyblade wielders, two mice, and a retired keyblade master all wandered the tower. In one room, Namine tries to get Terra, Axel, and Isa up to speed on everything that's happened since each of them disappeared.
"Wait, my armor did what?" asks Terra. Namine had just began to explain their encounter with Terra's lingering will that resided within his armor. Namine takes a deep breath. She tries her best to hide it, but she's getting tired of having to reexplain and clarify so many things.
"Maybe we should talk about something else. . ." says Olette, her mind practically scrambled just listening to what is essentially the life story of multiple people.
"Like what?" asks Axel
"Hmm. . . Well, you did say something strange happened at the keyblade graveyard. Would you mind telling us what you saw?" asks Aqua
Terra and Isa take a quick glance at Axel, waiting for him to tell their story. Axel thinks for a moment, thinking about whether or not he should tell the group about his keyblade. "Would they even believe me?" Axel thought to himself. The only people who knew were beside him, "But what's the point? I can't even summon it." Axel sighs. He makes up his mind and beings to tell the group about what happened.
"After we had recovered Terra's armor and Keyblade, we ran into another person in a black coat," Axel explains.
"Another organization member?" asks Aqua. Isa shakes his head.
"No. There are six members of the organization unaccounted for. All of them are taller than that man." Isa explains.
"Who are the six unaccounted for?" Namine asks.
Axel begins to list off all the "Well, there's Larxene, Marluxia, Demyx, Luxord, Braig . . ."
"And Xehanort. . ." Terra finishes
"You think he's back?" asks Aqua.
Terra nods. "I'm here, so is Lea and Isa, I don't see why he wouldn't."
"You were a nobody?" asks Namine. Terra nods.
"Yes." Terra answers "From what Me, Isa, and Lea have gathered. Xehanort and I became Ansem and Xemnas."
"Both of you!?" Aqua says, completely shocked.
"Wait, that means your heart was in Xehanort's body?" asks Namine.
"No. . . it has to be the other way around," says Aqua, as the puzzle pieces begin to come together within her mind.
"I guess you didn't know then huh?" says Terra as he rubs the back of his neck. "Xehanort tricked me, he got me to strengthen the darkness in my heart so that he could use my body as a new vessel."
"That's horrible. . ." Olette says, unable to imagine being used as a puppet for ten years.
Terra nods. "I don't remember much from the time Xehanort was in control, so I can't say for certain what he could be planning right now."
"Would he be planning anything?" asks Namine
"Most likely. Xehanort is always up to something. It doesn't matter if he's a somebody, a nobody, or a heartless. He's always after Kingdom Hearts." says Aqua.
"Do you think that person in the black coat is part of his plan?" Olette. Isa nods.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he's taken a pupil under his wing to do everything for him," says Isa. "That's what Xemnas did with the organization, it would only make sense for him to do it again."
"And it looks like they already have a plan," says Terra
"What is it?" asks Aqua,
"They're trying to make Roxas and Xion their pawns," Axel says with flaming fury burning in his voice.
"What!?" Namine cries in shock.
"Hold on, hold on. He didn't outright say that-" says Terra, but he's cut off by Isa
"But he definitely insinuated it," says, Isa.
"There is nothing to do," says Master Yen Sid. Silence falls as everyone looks to the master. "We cannot aid them in the sleeping realm, all we can do is have faith," says the master.
"Is there really nothing we can do?" asks Hayner. Yen Sid thinks for a moment, before turning to Namine.
"Namine, I shall permit you two use your powers over memory to see what Roxas, Xion, Riku, and Kairi are seeing in the sleeping realms." Namine and the Twilight Town trio smile wide for a moment, but Yen Sid quickly butts in "However, you must refrain from communicating with them unless it is absolutely necessary. Do you understand?" Yen sid asks. Namine nods, before quickly turning to Hayner, Pence, and Olette.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's see!" says Hayner excitedly. Namine smiles and nods, before closing her eyes, and taking a deep breath.
"Well? What's going on?" asks Hayner
"Be patient Hayner!" Pence scolds.
Namine takes another deep breath, as she focuses on Roxas and Xion. "Let me see. . ."
