Twilight Town

Roxas walked along the rooftops, watching the trio below. "So, he's Sora." The slight wind above the buildings, threatened to blow his hood off, his blonde hair ruffling from the shaking hood. Xemnas put a hand on his shoulder.

"Everything's going according to plans."

"He looks just like me." Roxas said to himself. "Is he really another half of me?" Xemnas looked down.

"Of course. That's why you both can use the Keyblade." Sora looked around, then up towards the roof. Xemnas and Roxas stepped back out of view. "You know what to do." He disappeared, leaving Roxas alone on the roof.

"I know what to do…" Roxas said to himself. He turned around, jumping off the roof.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked through the sandlot, looking for Saix and Kairi. The sun was high over the buildings, beaming down on them. "Where'd they go?"

"Why don't we ask someone if they'd seen 'em?" Goofy suggested.

"Sounds good. Now we only need to find people." They wandered around town, trying to find anybody to ask. They wandered through the tram common, searching for any people. There didn't seem to be any.

"What's the point of a town if there aren't any people to use it?" Donald looked over a counter.

"Maybe they all evacuated." Goofy checked around the corner of a building. "Maybe somethin' went wrong."

"I dunno." Sora walked down the ghost street. He looked to the left, thinking he saw something move. "Hey." He looked behind him, but Donald and Goofy were gone. "What the… What's going on?"

"I'll tell you what's going on." Sora spun around, a man in a black robe with short brown hair walked around the corner. He held an enormous axe in one hand. Lexaeus walked over to Sora, pointing down the road. "Follow the road, there will be a hole in the wall. Your friends are on the other side of the forest." Sora looked over there, then back.

"How do I know I can believe you?"

"If I was here to kill you," he held the tomahawk up. "I'd have already done it." Sora looked at the man, and then ran down the road. "Perfect." Lexaeus stepped back, disappearing into the darkness. Sora ran into the dark forest, trees all around. A shot rang out, a single gun arrow sticking into the tree next to him. He looked in the opposite direction, a man in a black robe with a ponytail carrying a pair of guns.

"Sora!" He shouted, letting off a few shots. He then jumped to the side, warping to another spot in the forest, shooting. Sora ducked behind trees as Xigbar jumped from point to point in the blink of an eye, taking potshots. Sora eventually made it to the other side, Xigbar warping away. He continued down the path, where he was met by a gate.

"What, no more Organizers?" He held the Keyblade up, shooting out a beam to unlock it. The enormous lock fell off, the gates creaking open. On the other side, Demyx stood with his sitar, waiting.

"Hey, you're here!" He swung the giant instrument, Sora ducking under it.

"What are you people doing!" Demyx stopped, and began strumming on the sitar.

"Dance, water. Dance!" Water splashed out of the ground, forming into weaker versions of Demyx. Sora jumped over a couple, grabbing one by the arm. He swung it around, then threw it into the mansion doors, breaking them in. Sora sprinted past Demyx, who put the sitar down. "Good. Good…" Sora ran into the entrance hall of the mansion, not sure which way to go.

"Lost?" Saix stood on the top floor straight ahead of him. He jumped down, the claymore smashing down in front of Sora. Sora ran up the flight of stairs on the right, the jumped to the top as the claymore smashed into the landing. Another sword appeared in Saix's hand as he leapt up to Sora. "You think you're good enough to continue?" He swung at Sora, who ducked, grabbing the sword. He swung it to the side, running to the first sword. Sora swung the claymore at Saix, who blocked it with his own. Sora pushed him back, then blew the library door open with the massive weapon. Throwing the sword at Saix, he ran inside. Saix raised a hand, both claymores disappearing. "Very good." Sora ran to the table, an unfinished picture on the table.

"Come on!" He slammed the table.

"Need help?" Luxord appeared through the wall. "Now we'll test your luck." Three cards appeared. One had the insignia of the Heartless, one the emblem of the Nobodies, and the other showed a symbol Sora didn't recognize. "Only one of these is the correct symbol to advance. If you get it right, you are free to continue. If not…" He held up a blank playing card. "You're mine." Sora looked at the three options, then at the drawing. He examined them close up, and put a hand on the mystery symbol.

"This one." Luxord looked at it.

"The crest of Light?" He looked at the table, then the card. He pulled a device out from his sleeve. "Try it." Sora took it from him, chalk falling into his hand. He looked back at the crest, and drew it on the table. The three circles closed in on each other, the floor flashing with white light. "Very good. Oh yeah, and you may want to move." Sora ran over by Luxord as the floor disappeared, revealing a staircase leading to an open door. "Nice job." Luxord walked back through the wall, leaving Sora alone. He ran down the stairs, through the door. A computer sat in there, smashed to bits. Next to it, Xaldin stood by another door, this one closed. Sora pulled out the Keyblade.

"Don't worry; I'm not here to kill you." He waved a hand, the door opening. Xaldin disappeared, leaving Sora with the door. He walked through cautiously, the door slamming behind him. The room was large and empty, except for the dark portal on the other end. A black robe began to walk through, weapons ready. Axel stepped out, the portal closing.

"Axel." Sora brought the Keyblade down. Axel stared at him, then adjusted his footing.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." With that, Axel jumped.
