Fall to pieces
By: the Maria half of Zeida and Maria
Summery:What if my freakish fleeting thought, the result of not having finished the first game, and not having played Chain of Memories, was true? Basicly, Sora was... not... just not. and Riku was was trying to make him him again.
Warning: No Roxas' were killed in the making of this chapter.

Ch.3: The Worst That Could Happen
They had all settled comfortably in a circle. Sora had fallen asleep on Rikus lap, just existing in that form was exaughsting. They had yet to say anything after Sora had arrived.
Roxas was starting to figure out what they wanted him for. That boy, Sora, was the one he always turned into in his dreams. That had to mean something. Besides, the brunette couldn't possibly last long in that state.
"What do you want me for?" Roxas feigned ignorance. He had to be sure, although he didn't know what his answer would be.
"Are you dense?" Rikus loving gaze changed quickly to contempt as he looked up to meet Roxas' eyes. He sighed and looked away, "Sorry."
"Whatever, just clear this up so I can at least have a couple more seconds thinking it's not what it is."
ERiku smiled and Axel scowled.
"As you can see, Sora has no body. He needs one and yours is the only one he can use.
Normally I would just take yours, becouse, rankly, I don't care wha the hell happens to you ss long as Sora is alright."
Roxas winced.
"But Sora does, 'cause that's just the way he is."
"Don't talk to Roxas like that!" Axel interjected.
Sora opened his eyes and watched the arguement between Riku and Axel bloom.
"I can say whatever I want to whoever I want!"
Roxas notice that Sora was awake and looked at him apprehensively.
"Not to Roxas you can't!"
Sora saw Roxas and smiled. He glanced up at Riku and Axel, rolling his eyes. 'They do that all the time' he seemed to say.
"Hey, the way you talk to Zexion and Demyx, I was being an angel!"
"What do you want to ask me?"
Riku and Axel jumped, finally noting Soras state of conciousness.
"Well I figured we could make a deal."
A credit to themselves Riku and Axel didn't interupt the boys.
"Why? I have a feeling your friend can just use me, and doesn't need my concent."
"True, but I do. Her's the deal: Riku would take your body, just so you know, if you say no. I wouldn't be able to stop him. VBut what if we share? Neither of us would have complete control and we'd switch whenever we want to!" Sora sounded so sincerly excited by his idea it was hard not to smile reassuringly at him.
((A/N: I despise DiZ so for the rest of this story, he has been swallowed by a plothole. Just though you might want to know.))
"It's... the only choice I have, isn't it?"
"Well-"
"That I will like even the tiniest bit."
"Yeah."
Roxas sighed.
"Roxas, you don't have to do this!" Axel yelled, "I'll protect you from this blowhard!"
Riku glared.
Sora laughed.
Roxas looked at the now very interesting lack of anything and blushed. "Axel... I'm going to do this. It's what I wanted, remember?"
Axel looked sad and Roxas scooted next to him, sliping an arm around his waist. "It's not like I'm going to disappear forever... and... I'd kinda like to do something right for once."
"..."
"Oh, come on, Axel."
"..." he sniffed
"It's the best deal IO have! Would you rather see me poof of the face of the Earth!"
"..."
Roxas frown, his lips formed an adorible pout that Axel couldn't help but see. Even if just out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly the blonds face lit up. He turned to the now slightly frightened nobody, with a devious grin spreading across his features. Axel backed up very slowly and began to stand up. Riku and Sora looked at each other, then back at the pair. Uh oh.
Roxas was now on his own feet and advancing on Axel. Abruptly he lunged at the red-head knocking him flat on his back. Riku and Sora winced as axels wrists were pinned above his head as he struggled beneath the the younger boy straddling him.
"Help!" he yelped.
Roxas lead foard, toward Axels head, ignoring his pleas. A centimeter away from his face, he grin gleefuly and whispered something into Axels ear. Axel began to relax, a smile crept across him lips.
"I can live with that... But you came straight to me when you're you."
"Got it!"
Only then did they realise that they seemed to have company. They turned to face Sora and Riku who were still staring at them.
"Um..." Roxas mutterred, getting off Axel.
"You remember." Riku stated.
"YOU REMEMBER!" Axel crowed, delighted.
"I gave him a present..." whispered Sora. He seemed to be falling asleep again.
Riku looked at himwith concern and lifted him gently as he stood. "We have to get going, since you agreed.
"It's not like he had a choice" Axel muttered, still bitter despite what Roxas had told him. He rose to follow Riku none the less.
"I had a choice" the blond reminded him, "Get the good end of the stick or the bad."
Riku walked fast and was already shrinking into the distance, carrying the tranparent boy bridal style. Roxas and Axel ran to catch up. They walked in silence for what seemed like hours, and probably was, into the darkness. Then a white dot appeared in front of Roxas' face. He thought he was seeing things and lifted a hand to touch it. Nothing was there.
"It's in the distance." Riku informed him, "Depth perception is non-exsitant in here."
Roxas blushed, although no one could see it, and they walked on. The dot was growing, and soon it was a tall, blindingly bright square carved into the nothingness. It was a stark contrast to the pitch blackness. Riku continued through the doorway of light in to an endless white hallway.
"Doesn't anywhere here just take five freaking minutes?" Axel muttered to no one in particular.
No one in particular answered.
Again, they continued walking.
Every now and then, Sora shifted, albiet just to wrap his arms around Riku in some way or move to a more comforable position.
"Where are we going, exactly?" Roxas asked, unable to contain his curiosity any longer.
Riku didn't answer, he jut kept walking. Hwe didn't even turn to glance at Roxas.
"Hey!" Acxel grabbed the silver haired boys shoulder."Roxas asked you a question!"
Riku turned to Axel, suprised. "What? Oh, sorry, I was thinking."
Axel raised an eyebrow. "Don't hurt yourself."
Riku glared at him and... pouted? No, Roxas had imagined that. That would be a friendly act. Axel and Riku hated each other. Roxas looked up again at Riku. Only annoyance was on his face. Ther, Roxas' world wasn't aabout to flip because of a non-exsitant, very unexpected friendship.
And... they continued walking. Roxas watching Axel and Riku llike a hawk, barely containing his jealosy.
His Axel.
After hours of walking and just walking Roxas turned to see how far they had gotten. He was suprised to see a corner. He hadn't gone around any turns, had he? This was very strange. Something felt wrong.
"Hey, Riku?" he called ahead.
"Not now, we're here."
Roxas spun from the sight of the strange corner to stare at the huge thin door in their path. It had to be twice as tall as Riku, although it was the width of a normal door. It was panaled and colored with variations of an odd mauve color. It curved into an ornate arch at the top.
"Have I seen thios door before?" Roxas mumbled.
"Sora has." Riku explained, "You still have his memory."
Everyone focused their attention on the door as a creak interupted them.
"Welcome..." a low, cruel voice said, but no one heard him.
Riku smiled in triumph as all the details of their surrundings began to white out. Soon Roxas couldn't see the hand in front of his face, as the light became brighter and brighter, blanketing everything in white. Then as soon as it had happened the white began to fade away. Disturbingly, the room it left behind was not what they had expected. It was a strange swirling mass of a dark crimson and black, filled with fog of the same color.
"No..." Riku muttered taking a step back. his ice blue eyes were wide with fear.
Roxas and Axel turned to him, terrified at his reaction. "Tell me this is where you wanted to go!" Axel said, walking to riku.
Riku just stared at him.
"Tell me!" he yelled.
"It's a trap." Riku stated in shock.
Roxas stared, "What?"
Riku turned on them both and yelled, "It's a TRAP Goddamit! RUN!"
They all turned hoping to see the dor through which they entered. But it wasn't there. Then strange dark puddles started to materialize on he floor and the walls, even the celing. they bubbled and grew, strange rounderd heads with bright, gloweing, yellow eyes began to push out of the darkness. The Heartless had arrived. Alongside these grew white counter parts, releasing the nobodies.
Riku looked around, face hardening. "Roxas."
Roxas turned to the silverette and took a startled step back as Sora was shoved into his arms.
"What the-!"
"Protect him." A long, dark coloered, bat-wing shaped blade with a light colored angel-wing sweeping off like a scythe blde at the tip appeared in Rikus hand. He quickly threw Axel his weapons.
"All right! Now you're talkin'!" Axel yelled. "You take the black dudes, I'll take the nobodies!"
"Prepare to be left in my dust."
"You're on!"
Rku andAxel lunged toward their enemie, quickly wiping many out. Both pulled out all the stocks, intent on beatinng each other in their contest. However, all was not well, they soon began noticing something strange.
First of all, they noted, only the lowest forms of the monsters were appearing, Dusks and Shadows. the creatures also didn't seem to want to attack, just dodging as many of Riku and Axels blows as they could. The boys began to worry.
"We should finish this!" Riku shouted to Axel. He recieved no answer, they were stunned into silence. The Heartless and Nobodies suddenly stopped attacking and vanished.
"YAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHH!" Roxas screamed.
Axel turned in time to see his friend soring through the air, his twin key blades slipping from his fingers. He smashes against an invisible wall and slid down, his head lolling, and fell over. Axels wide eyes could clearly see one of his arms, bloody and bent at a frightening angle.
Riku had turned to see a tal man with sliver blue hair, not unlike his own., with a scar on his face.
He was holding Sora in his arms. He turned to Riku and smiled upon seeing him. It was the most creul, disgusting thing he had ever seen on anyone.
Saix vanished, taking Sora.
"SORA!"
"ROXAS!"
