The screen becomes scrambled

"Restoration at 97%"

Sora's last memories flash through Roxas' mind. The trio stands in the Gate to the Dark in the End of the World.

"Gawrsh, is that all that's left of the worlds taken by the Heartless?" asked Goofy

"Those worlds will be restored if we beat Ansem, right? But, if we do beat him and all these worlds become restored and disconnected, what's gonna happen to this place? And to us?" asked Sora flying as he remembers fighting the Chernabog.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

"All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence" said Ansem smirking at Sora in the destruction of Destiny Islands.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Sora remembers the final showdown with Ansem as he glided through darkness, "That's not true! The heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!" said Sora flying with his friends

Sora remembers Ansem's defeat

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness!" ordered Ansem reaching his hand out to the doors of Kingdom Hearts.

"You're wrong. I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts is light!" said Sora as the doors open revealing light and destroying Ansem for good.

"Now, Sora! Let's close this door for good!" said Mickey pointing his Keyblade to lock the door form the inside. As Sora, Donald, and Goofy help close the door of Kingdom Hearts from the outside.

"Take care of her" said Riku as he was closed in the Door of Darkness. Sora's and King Mickey's keyblades glow to finish closing the door. The Door of Darkness began to disappear in flashes of light.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"KAIRI!" yelled Sora as he runs over to her

"Sora!" said Kairi as she goes up to Sora as the floor splits in half Kairi starts to fall but Sora catches her, "Kairi, remember what you said before? I'm always with you, too. I'll come back to you. I promise!" said Sora as he held her hand

"I know you will!" she replied as Sora and Kairi break away from each other.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walk down a winding path.

"Well, now what do we do?" asked Donald looking at Sora

"We've gotta find Riku and King Mickey" replied Sora

"But, uh, where do we start looking for that there door to the light?" asked Goofy

They see Pluto walking with a letter in his mouth, looking at them.

"Pluto?"

"Gawrsh, that's the king's seal!" said Goofy pointing at the letter

"Hey, have you seen King Mickey?" asked Sora leaning down to Pluto, Pluto turns to run down the path.

"Let's go!" yelled Sora waving his hand out giving Donald and Goofy a sign to follow.

At nighttime, Sora is startled by a figure in black. He turns around to see it, but it is gone. He looks around for a second, then turns around again. The figure is slightly down the road. Sora runs to it, but it fades away. Sora finds Castle Oblivion at the end of the road.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same dark beach, the two cloaked figures meet

"I've been to see him. He looks a lot like you" said the hooded figure

"Who are you?" asked Roxas

Xxxxxxxxx

In the dark city of The World That Never Was rain started to fall, hundreds of Neoshadows rise from the ground. They surround Roxas, who summons two Keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion and swings them into position. He destroys several of the Neoshadows before looking up to the top of the main skyscraper of the city. The rain has stopped for a moment. An unhooded but blindfolded man stands at the top of the skyscraper. Roxas runs up the side of the building and tosses the Oblivion to the man at the top, who dives off the edge of the building and catches the weapon in his hand, falling down past Roxas. They turn to look at each other as they pass. After they both have reached the bottom, they destroy the remaining Neoshadows, and then turn on each other. The two exchange blows before Roxas knocks the other man to the ground

"Why! Why do you have the Keyblade?" asked the unhooded boy

"Shut up!" snapped Roxas

As Roxas swings his keyblade...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Roxas wakes up in his bedroom and slides off the bed. He shifts from Sora to Roxas several times as he stands up. Roxas looks outside his window. Birds fly past. Hayner, Olette, Falcon and Pence are already in The Usual Spot when Roxas arrives there,

"Man, I could not sleep last night..." said Roxas as he scratched his head. His friends not even acknowledging him.

"Guys?"

He reaches toward Hayner and his hand goes right through him.

"Huh?"

Roxas takes a step back watching his friends laugh with no motion of his existence. Hayner turns around and runs right through him, Pence, Falcon and Olette following. Roxas stops and sighs. He picks up a picture nearby which includes Hayner, Olette, Falcon, Andi and Pence that had previously included Roxas. But now was no where in sight.

Roxas leaves the Usual Spot looks around and walks into an ambush cornered by the White creatures as black portal pops from behind him, turning around and sees Axel appear.

"Look at what it's come to. I've been given these icky orders to destroy you-if you refuse to come back with me" said Axel

"We're...best friends, right?" wondered Roxas

Axel scratches his head, "Sure...but I'm not getting turned into Dusk for...Wait a sec! You remember now!" said Axel excitedly.

"Y...eah"

"Great! But, you know, gotta make sure and all. So, umm...What's our boss's name?" asked Axel waiting hopefully that Roxas remembers as he watches Roxas looking around

Roxas gives no answer as he glances at the stick in front of him, and Axel sighs sadly.

"Can't believe this..."

As Roxas grabs the stick it becomes the Keyblade. Ready to fight the creatures from behind, Roxas gives no mercy as he defeats the creatures around him. Axel swings up his chakrams to strike, and is frozen. Roxas notices and gets off guard as he hears a voice, He holds his head.

"Roxas, to the mansion! The time has come!" ordered Diz

"Hayner! Pence! Olette! Falcon! Andi!" yelled Roxas at the sky.

Roxas runs to the Sandlot and continues his way to Market Street, when time unfroze.

"The Roxas that I know is long gone. Fine, I see how it is..." said Axel sadly looking down.

Roxas runs to the Old Mansion, looking at the fence still had a lock as he touched it. He turns around at the locked gates and more Creatures spring up behind him, backing up looking at them, "Don't call me and then lock me out..." muttered Roxas

Roxas gets a vision of Sora holding out his Keyblade.

Roxas steps back from the gate to unlock the keyhole with his keyblade. The gates open and he runs inside. The creatures try to follow but are stopped by a hooded figure holding a wing-like keyblade.

Roxas enters the mansion entry way that was full of scattered and broken of tables and candle holders, some stuff was blocking doorways to rooms. As he goes to the room on the left side of him he guesses this was the dining room with the big table split in half. Creatures come to attack him, his keyblade appears and defeats some then runs off to the next room upstairs where he finds the White Room. Roxas walks past pictures he saw when he was in this room before and stops at one of him in an alleyway of the dark city he saw in his dreams, his head started to hurt feeling like it was going to burst as he put his hands on his head.

Xxxxxx

Flashback…..

Thunder rumbles in the sky of the city as Organization Xlll Roxas walks through the dark streets. He passes Axel who is leaning on the wall, crossing his arms, "Your mind's made up?" asked Axel

Roxas stop looking over his shoulder at Axel, "Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know" replied Roxas.

"You can't turn on the Organization!" said Axel angrily as he leans forward to Roxas…..

Xxxxxxcc

Roxas's vision stops and the headache, he turns to see Namine in the White Room, sitting in her usual seat.

"Organization XIII... they're a bad group" said Roxas

"Bad or good, I don't know. They're a group of incomplete people who wish to be whole. To that end, they're desperately searching for something" replied Naminé

"What?"

"Kingdom Hearts" replied Naminé

Roxas chuckles

"Funny?" she asked

"It's just…. I think-I've been running away from the question I really wanna ask"

Roxas walks to the table and leans against it, "What's gonna happen to me now? Just tell me that. Nothing else really matters anymore" continued Roxas looking at the table

"You are..."

Naminé flickers

"Naminé!" said Roxas as he watched her disappear, as Namine's form breaks into several pieces of data. Diz appears in a flash of data, "There's no knowledge that has the power to change your fate" replied Diz

"Even if it doesn't, I wanna know. I have the right to know!" said Roxas angrily.

"A Nobody doesn't have a right to know. Nor does it even have the right to be" answered Diz.

"But what IS a Nobody!" asked Roxas

Ansem still hooded appears, "Diz, we're out of time. Too many Nobodies!"

A portal springs up behind Diz containing Namine, "Roxas. Nobodies like us are only half a person. You won't disappear. You'll be whole!" replied Naminé

"I'll...disappear...?"

"No further outbursts!" said Diz as he grabs her.

"No, you won't disappear! You'll—"Diz grabs Namine and covers her mouth.

"Wait!"

Roxas tries to run to the portal, but is stopped by Ansem. Naminé stops Diz's clench over her mouth

"Roxas! We will meet again. And then we can talk about everything. I may not know it's you, and you may not know it's me. But we will meet again. Someday soon. I promise!" said Naminé

Naminé and Diz begin to fade away through the portal.

"LET HER GO!" yelled Roxas

The portal vanishes along with Ansem. Roxas holds out his hand out, "NAMINE!" he yelled again.

Xxxxxxxx

"What have you done?!" Yells Diz as he appears into the White room this time not in the data world.

Andi leaning against the wall with her arms crossed looks at Diz and sees Namine thrown on the ground. She runs over and brings her keyblade out blocking Namine from Diz.

"It's you!" Growled Diz.

"Guess your plan isn't going to work?" Mocked Andi with a smirk on her face.

Diz laughed surprising Andi; "There's always a plan b" he chuckled.

"I won't let you hurt him!"

"Hurt him? You got what you wanted having that witch help you. But you will never find him" replied Diz.

"What...do you mean?"

"Everywhere you look I will always be three steps ahead. You will never find him I will make a promise to that."

Andi runs at him with her keyblade but he just disappears and reappears behind Namine. He grabs her by the arm forcing her to stand.

"Let Namine go!"

"Namine you know what to do" said Diz

Namine looks done and Andi feels aches in her head. She drops the keyblade causing it to disappear. Andi holding her head and gritting her teeth she looks up at Namine and Diz.

"Namine...what...what are you doing?"

"Three steps ahead Andi" mocked Diz as Andi falls into unconsciousness.

Xxxxxx

Roxas finds the Mansion Library on the other side of the stairs. He walks over and draws an crown symbol in the missing place on the table to reveal a hidden room beneath the floor. He walks into another basement room and finds a large set of monitors and an odd machine. Roxas' head aches again...

Xxxx

A large white room with opposite length of chairs in a circle, sat each of the Organization XIII. Him running down a city street chased by more of those white creatures. Hooded, he is confronting the silver-haired boy with a blindfold.

"Why! Why do you have the Keyblade?" asked the boy.

"Shut up!" replied Roxas

The blindfolded one quickly grabs Roxas' other Keyblade Oblivion and knocks Roxas away as Roxas tried to slash with his Keyblade Oathkeeper. The other one stands up and walks toward Roxas. Roxas is later lying underneath the odd machine where Diz and Ansem appear.

"Will it work?" asked Ansem

"If we can maintain the simulated town until Naminé finishes chaining together Sora's memories" said Diz as he typed on his computer

"What will happen to Roxas?" asked Ansem

"He holds half of Sora's power within him. In the end, he'll have to give it back" replied Diz.

Diz turns and walks toward the set of monitors.

"Until then, he'll need another personality to throw off his pursuers" said Diz.

"Poor thing"

Diz sits down and punches in some keys

"It's the fate of a Nobody" replied Diz

The machine starts up and changes Roxas into data and Roxas is gone…..

Xxxxxxxx

Roxas' headache stops and his anger rises. The Keyblade appears in his hands and he begins to hack away violently at the computer monitors. Once he's vented his anger a door opens. Roxas enters the Basement Hall and is immediately surrounded by Nobodies. Roxas defeats them and Axel walks in with his arms crossed

"Simply amazing, Roxas" said Axel

"Axel"

"You really do remember me this time? I'm SO FLATTERED!" yelled Axel angrily

Axel's anger causes the edges of the room to erupt in flames making it unable for Roxas to escape.

"But you're too late!" he replied

Roxas manages to conjure the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades.

"Two!" said Axel

Axel makes his chakrams appear and he smiles at Roxas

"Come here. I'll make it all stop" said Axel.

Axel makes the ground to burn as burn Roxas steps. He attacks Axel first giving himself the advantage to knock him down and the ground to turn back to normal. Axel gets up and goes behind the flames. Roxas looks around unable to get a glimpse of Axel when he appears out of nowhere burning Roxas with his chakrams. Roxas yells and turns around for a counter attack but Axel disappeared again before he could, Axel attacks again getting Roxas. He disappears Roxas ready to guard. He waited when he saw Axel he dodged and threw out his keyblade hitting Axel in the back.

Roxas ran for Axel grabbing his keyblade at the process. He attacks Axel once. Axel dodging the other attacks got behind Roxas throwing his flamed chakrams giving him the advantage on his attack as he sliced Roxas with his chakrams. Roxas turned and guarded the last attack and went at Axel. Axel dodged again going for an attack in the back again. Roxas guarded; sliding to Axel side he attacks Axel at his arm then turned to the other side before Axel could turn around attacking his other arm and then his back finishing Axel.

"Roxas..."

The flames disappear. Roxas stares at Axel and remembers the last time he talked to him before, in the alleyway...

Xxxxx

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!" said Axel

"No one would miss me" replied Roxas as he walks off.

"That's not true... I would" said Axel sadly.

Xxxxxxx

"Axel..." replied Roxas

"Let's meet again in the next life" answered Axel huffing to catch his breathe

"Yeah. I'll be waiting"

"Silly. Just because you have a next life..." said Axel and he disappears in the dark portal

Roxas walks up to where Axel vanished. Later, Roxas walks through the basement corridor. He sees two capsules with familiar faces inside sleeping.

"..Donald?...Goofy?"

He turns to the door at the end of the hall and enters. Diz is standing a completely bright room in front of a single large capsule.

"At last, the Keyblade's chosen one" said Diz

"Who are you talking to? Me? Or Sora?" asked Roxas angrily granting his teeth.

"To half of Sora, of course. You reside in darkness. What I need is someone who can move about the realm of light and destroy Organization XIII" said Diz

"Why? Who are you?" asked Roxas

"I am a servant of the world. And if I'm a servant, then you should consider yourself a tool, at best" laughed Diz

"Was that...Was that supposed to be a joke?" asked Roxas

He conjures the Keyblade

"Cause I'm not laughing!" yelled Roxas angrily.

Roxas runs up to Diz and strikes through him. The Keyblade creates a wave of data through Diz. Roxas, surprised, stands straight.

"My apologies. This is only a data-based projection" said Diz

Roxas screams in anger, and futilely strikes Diz repetitively with the Keyblade. Diz vanishes and reappears behind him while Roxas catches his breath.

"Come, over here" replied Diz

Roxas stares at Diz

"I hate you so much..." answered Roxas

"You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good"

"No! My heart belongs to me!"

"If only I could believe that as Andi does" mocked Diz

"Andi?...What have you done to her?!"

"Removed her away from you. Maybe she will finally see the real truth. What you truly are" replied Diz

"Let her go!" Yells Roxas as he runs and cuts again through Diz. Diz disappears and the capsule glows. The mechanical petals open slowly and reveal what they contain

"Sora..."

Sora, still asleep, floating inside the capsule.

"You're lucky. Looks like my summer vacation is...over" said Roxas sadly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"What did you do?" Asked Ansem looking at Andi who was unconscious on the floor.

"Went to plan b" replied Diz

Ansem walks over to her and touches her back.

"She's fine. Just removed some of her memories"

"Why?" Asked Ansem standing up and looking at him.

"I promised she would be searching for Roxas. If she knew where to look she wouldn't be looking for him very long would she?"

"Where do you want me to take her?"

"At the station. Last place she'll remember"

Ansem grabs Andi bridal style and a dark portal appears and disappears with them...
