A/N: Bet you can't guess who the ghostly figure is. And Sorry I haven't updated in ages. Please forgive me and review this chapter.
World of Awakening
A dimension full of darkness. Deep in the middle of this dimension a a mouse and a boy fought a giant Neo shadow on a platform which was rapidly decreasing in size. The mouse jumped in midair and swung a keyblade at the heartless, hacking away at it. The parts that eventually came off regathered themselves and joined back on to the larger body. The boy was cutting at the feet of the heartless but it had as little effect as the mouses attacks.
Above all of this a ghostly figure watched them with a faint feeling of recognition in his eyes. He knew what he was seeing, knew that it meant something but couldn't figure out what. He knew those two people down there, the boy better than the mouse but couldn't figure out how he knew them. He tried to match names to the faces but failed.
As he watched the boys eyes glowed red and he flipped into the air and using the heartless's body for leverage climbed up to it's eyes. Then he gouged them out. The heartless faded away into the everlasting darkness and the boy fell back to the platform. The darkness didn't seem as powerful as it had a moment ago when the Neo shadow had formed.
The ghostly figure had a strong urge to float down next to the mouse and boy but knew in his heart that neither of them would recognise him in his current form, perhaps neither of them even knew him.He felt deeper into his heart and realised that something appeared to be missing. Something that had previously meant a lot to him. If only he could remember what that something was.
For now the ghostly figure decided that the best course of action would be to follow these two people and wait it out until he remembered something else.
Deserted Space Station
Roxas sat down, spinning the broken pieces of Sora's keyblade around in a circle. . He couldn't figure out why Sora's keyblade had snapped while his own was still whole. Sora's my other half so our keyblades should be connected he thought.
"What are you doing Roxas?" Kairi asked him.
"Thinking," he said.
"What are you thinking?" Kairi asked.
"About why Sora's keyblade snapped."
"Well do you have any ideas on what we should do next?" Kairi asked him.
"Yes," said Roxas. "We should go to Myra."
"Myra?" asked Donald who had just come from the gummi ship.
"Yeah. A very powerful keyblade weilder lives there."
"WAK! Another Keyblade?"
"Yup. This guy knows everything about every keyblade there is. He was the one Xemnas brought me to when he found that I could weild a keyblade. He'll know what's happened."
"Alright let's get going then!" said Goofy who had come from the room where they had fought Shuyin. "I think you should have this Roxas."
Goofy gave Roxas the keychain that Shuyin had dropped. Roxas looked closely at it before summoning his keyblade and adding it on. The keyblade changed to a greenish colour with a C as the handle although Roxas mistook it for a semi circle handle. Spikes ran down both the left and right sides of the keyblade and the bottom blade was a jagged heart. The words Chasers Bargain popped into Roxas's mind and he knew that was the keyblades name.
For the first time in ages a grin crept across Roxas's face. He could truly feel happinness and it was as if he had a heart. Thanks to Sora he did in a way have a heart, something that only one other nobody could claim to be true.
"Come on Roxas let's get going," said Kairi, interrupting Roxas's train of thought.
"Yeah, we should find out what happened to Sora's keyblade," said Donald.
Roxas smiled to himself. "Ok, I'm coming." Roxas hurried after Donald, Goofy and Kairi, happy to think that he was going back to Myra, the place where he'd first learned about his keyblade.
Forgotten Grave Yard
It was an unusually cold night, so cold that a frosty mist hung in the air over the four way path. In the center of the path a glittering light could be seen as if something was trying to phase it's way into existence. If you strained your eyes really hard you could see the shadowy form of three different keyblades.
Meanwhile, in the underground computer lab a heated argument was taking place between Lexi and Zhiran.
"How was I supposed to know the boy had switched blades?" yelled Zhiran.
"Well he was your target you should of at least known about his nobody!" yelled Lexi.
Lexi and Zhiran's master entered the room and stared at them.
"There seems to be a problem," he said significantly.
"No, there's no problem master," Zhiran said quickly before Lexi could say anything.
"He's lying master," said Lexi. "We only havetwo sets of original data."
Zhiran trembled before his master. "I'm... sorry..but..."
To Zhiran's surpirse his master was neither angry nor upset. "I was expecting this," he said. "The boys heart would have given control of the real keyblade to his nobody and created a copy of it from the boys memories of the real one. He may not even know it happenned."
"So your saying I scanned the copy keyblade?" asked Zhiran.
"Yes," said the master. "But now you must make up for your mistake and get the real data from the boys nobody."
"But how am I supposed to do that? Nobodies reside within the original person, not outside them."
"Oh it may be easier then you think," said the master. He pressed a button on one of the computers which displayed an image of Roxas and Kairi talking to each other. They were on the gummi ship. Roxas said something to Kairi. She nodded and said something back to him and then transformed into Namine.
"Ok, I'll be finished in less then two days."
"Good!"
Zhiran plugged himself into his computer again while Lexi went over to her one and watched over it while it carried out the commands she had entered. Their master left.
A/N: The next part is what Roxas said to Kairi and then Namine. It's not important plot wise but I added it in incase anyone cares.
"Kairi can you do me a favour?" Roxas asked.
"Sure," said Kairi.
"Well...I don't know how to ask this but..."
"Go on tell me," she said.
"Well remember when I told you and Sora that whenever you two were together that me and Namine would be together?"
"Yeah, what about it."
"Well since Sora made me take over I haven't been able to feel her energy anymore. I guess it comes with the package but still..."
"Oh. Umm Ok I'll see if she's still within me." Kairi stared thoughtfully for a moment and then nodded. Then she transformed into Namine and roxas jumped in shock. He hadn't expected this.
"Hi," said Namine.
"Hi," said Roxas, still in shock.
"You've been trusted with a great task Roxas," said Namine.
"What's that?"
"You have been trusted with the keyblade and Sora's heart. You must protect them at all costs."
"Is that why I can't feel your energy anymore?"
"Yes, Roxas. We should make good of what time we do have."
Namine embraced Roxas in a tight hug and he struggled to stay on his feet. When he caught his balance he hugged her back.
"I know you'll succeed Roxas," said Namine. She kissed Roxas on the lips and then stepped back. When Roxas looked again she had changed back into Kairi.
"Thanks Kairi," said Roxas.
