Leon kicked a can a few feet. He was annoyed and confused. His hands were in the pockets of his blue jacket, similar to the one he wore before the Nobody war.

He rubbed his eye-patch. He remembered every event that happened the day he lost his eye.

Xenahort approached his bloody body. Yuffie was next to Leon, but she was dead. Xenahort killed her himself. Xenahort raised his long sword, now standing over Leon.

" You're son will make a great minion one day." Xenahort laughed, poking Leon with his long sword. Leon's anger grew.

" If you touch him, I assure you, you will experience the most awful excruciating pain you have ever felt when you die."

Number II grabbed Leon's neck and lifted him up. Leon couldn't breath. " Want to end up like Yuffie?"

Leon screamed with rage and summoned his gun-blade and slashed Number II from his left eye down to his cheek. Number II let go of Leon and clutched his face.

Leon got up and ran at Xenahort, yelling at the top of his lungs. He raised his gun-blade. Xenahort moved out of the way just in time and shot dark energy, hitting Leon right in the middle of his right eye. Leon didn't yell in pain, but collapsed next to Yuffie, as Xenahort walked away.

Leon walked over to the old bar, Nightmare's Blade. He was about to walk in; when he heard a sound he hadn't heard in a while. The sound of an Organization portal.

Leon summoned his weapon and spun around, ready for a fight. Instead, he saw a boy collapsed on the ground, unconscious. He walked over to him, curious. He wore a red shirt with a black heart with a skull in it on his back, and faded pants with a flame design on the. His hair was brown and had a pinkish tint.

He went in front of the boy and knelt down. He turned the boy over and saw claw marks all over him.

He stood up, picking up the boy. Can't leave him here. He walked to his house.

Roxas sat at his table in his room, thinking. He was drawing another picture of Namine, even though had had already drawn five or six hundred pictures of her already.

Somebody appeared in his room. They approached him, and he looked up, it was Dexsis, number 5 of N.O.B.O.D.Y. He had short green hair and green eyes.

" Hiero's in Darkberry if you want him. Draxern teleported him there, after Beast nearly killed him."

Roxas smiled. " Your best friend Leon will find him. Go get him."

Dexsis shook his head in disapproval. The he walked away, opening a portal and walking in. Roxas yelled after him " Don't kill either of them!" And he resumed his drawing. He didn't about the little missions like that one. He only cared about the big mission that they were about to go through with, and needed Hiero for it.

They were going to the heart of the universe.

" Is he dead?" The mercenary Cloud asked, poking Hiero's body.

" No, he just is unconscious. He has been for 10 hours now."

Leon and Cloud both stood over Hiero. Hiero laid In Leon's bed, for they were in Leon's house. Leon now lived in Darkberry, a town across the ocean from Hollow Bastion. Hollow Bastion was no longer safe because of N.O.B.O.D.Y. But Leon didn't fight them anymore, after what Xenahort killed his best friend Yuffie.

" What are you going to do with him?" Cloud asked, circling the bed. Leon scratched his head. " Wait for him to wake up, then question him. He is either part of N.O.B.O.D.Y. or an enemy of it." Leon answered, hoping for the second one so he wouldn't have to kill Hiero. Cloud shrugged. "Whatever."

Later that night, Leon awoke to the sound of breaking glass. He summoned his gun-blade and ran downstairs. The noise came from his kitchen.

He ran in and looked at his opponent. The person wore an Organization hood and had short green hair and green eyes.

Leon knew who he was. " What do you want Dexsis?" He yelled at Number V.

Dexses smiled an evil smile Leon knew too well. " Hand over the boy and maybe I won't kill you. " He stretched maybe when he said it.

Leon spit in disgust. " Go die! Or better yet, let me kill you."

Leon shot a bullet out of his gun-blade, which Dexsis dodged by ducking. Dexsis summoned a whip made of thorns and lashed at Leon. The whip wrapped around Leon's weapon, but he managed to pull it free. He jumped at Dexsis, raising his gun-blade.

Suddenly a wall of thorns erupted from the ground and stopped Leon in dead air, then wrapped around him. He yelled in pain as the thorns went into him. He couldn't move.

Dexsis laughed evilly. " I'll just go upstairs and get my prize."

Leon yelled in reluctances, but Dexsis just smiled and went upstairs.

He walked into to Leon's bedroom and approached the bed. The covers were all the way up. " Hey Hiero, come out and play." And he threw back the covers. Hiero wasn't there.

" Sorry, I can't play right now." Hiero jumped down from the ceiling, landing on Dexsis, knocking him down. Hiero then ran downstairs, to aid Leon. He ran to him and chopped the thorns with his scythe. Leon dropped to the ground. He stood up and thanked Hiero, but then heard Dexsis run down the stairs, and moved just before his whip hit Leon in the face.

"I am not done with either of you!"
