Oh boy I finally did it! I finally got my mind to focus and write this chapter! I am so sorry this took so long, I had terrible writers block for this. But Ch4 is finally here!

Let's get to the story!

Ch.4

The following day the two boys were brought from their room, by a different member than they had seen yesterday. They were brought into the area known as the Grey Room. There stood the eye patch guy known as Xigbar. He handed them both several papers with a bunch of information on them.

"Over the next few days you two will be going out through some basic exercises. To test your abilities and all that. You'll find out what your main attribute is." Xigbar explained.

"Our attribute?" Axel asked.

"Everyone here has some abilities that they are stronger in over everything else. Usually some element or something." Xigbar said.

"And then what do we do after these exercises?" Saix asked.

"You guys can go back to your rooms or do whatever you want for the rest of the day." Xigbar said with a shrug. "And also starting today you guys will be starting to fill out a journal about your day."

"A journal? Why?" Axel asked.

"It's just something Xemnas has every member do. Now enough talking. Let's get to your guy's training."

Axel and Saix then followed Xigbar out of the Grey Room and down the hall all the way to the Hall of Empty Melodies, which was a large empty spaced room. The boys walked to the center area of the room and turned to face Xigbar.

"So the first thing you guys gotta do, is summon your new weapons," Xigbar instructed. "That should be a easy first task for you two." Xigbar then demonstrated by summoning up his own weapon, a large arrowgun.

"But how exactly do we do that?" Axel asked.

"Probably deep concentration and thinking. Something you've always lacked," Saix said with a serious tone.

Axel frowned, "Hey…"

Without another word Saix held out his hand and in the next second his new claymore appeared. Axel stared with wide eyes before attempting to summon his own weapons. It took a little longer than Saix, but Axel was able to summon his weapons to him. Axel felt the weight of his new chakrams in his hands, he still found them so cool and far better than his old frisbees.

"There. See? I got it," Axel said to Saix with a smirk across his face. Saix just sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Good, you guys got that down," Xigbar said. "Now let's put what skills, if you have any, to the test."

A second later several low form Nobodies, known as Dusks, appeared all around the room. Axel and Saix held their weapons up in a more defensive position as the Dusks moved closer to them.

"You're just going to have us fight? You're not going to train us or anything?" Axel asked.

"This is training," Xigbar chuckled as he turned around to exit the room, "Good luck."

Axel grumbled as he looked at all the Dusk all around him and Saix. "Well are you ready Isa?"

"Yeah," Saix said with a nod, gripping the handle of his claymore tighter.

The two then lunged at the Heartless, swinging their new weapons at them. The Dusks at first easily wiggles away from the attacks, they flew around the room and over the heads of Axel and Saix before trying to come down and attack. Axel held up his chakrams over his face to try and block the attacks, which did seem to help. But the Dusk kept swarming around them, and just smacking them around wasn't doing enough. The two kept fighting and dodging the Dusk, but the Dusks just kept coming and wouldn't stop.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Axel asked.

"We just keep fighting them off until we are told to stop I assume," Saix replied.

"But what else can we do beside just hitting them?"

"Well if we could use magic, we could use that against them," Saix said.

Axel smiled as he dodge out of the way of a Dusk's attack, "That's it! Magic!"

"Yeah...but we don't know how to use magic. We never tried before."

"Well no harm in trying to learn now," Axel chuckled.

Axel remembered back to when Sora had used a fire spell to open the special door in Traverse Town. He just concentrated and had said the word 'fire'. "A fire spell. Shouldn't be too hard." Axel thought to himself. He held one of the chakrams outwards towards a group of Dusks. With a deep breath Axel then shouted, "Fire!" and to his surprise a fireball actually formed and shot out from his chakram.

"Whoa, I did it," Axel said, still surprised over the fact he had just actually casted magic. It felt so easy too, far easier than he had expected.

"Hmm," Saix hummed as he struck another Dusk back. A second later he swung his claymore around while saying "Blizzard." A small ball of ice shot out and stuck a Dusk, freezing it temporarily in its' tracks.

The two continued to fight the Dusks for a little longer, using a little more magic as they fought, but soon they started to feel weary. Saix had just knocked back another Dusk, he let out a deep breath in the brief moment he had. In that time though he looked up at the ceiling. It was a clear glass ceiling that showed the dark sky outside. Saix paused for a moment as he prepared himself. A look of serious determination came over Saix's face as he charged right at some Dusks and smacked them around with newfound strength. It didn't last long, but Saix was able to fight back a lot of the Dusks on his own.

Several more minutes passed before the Dusks stopped attacking and disappeared from the room. Xigbar then walked back into the room. "Well you guys actually showed that you have skills after all."

"That's all you wanted us to do? Just put us into a fight and see what we could do?" Axel asked as he made his weapons disappear.

"Yup. Just needed to see if you guys have any abilities or skills. See if you are really worthy to be in the Organization." Xigbar replied with a chuckle.

"So what do you want us to do now?" Saix asked.

"Nothing. That is all you have to do for today." Xigbar said.

"What else are we supposed to do then for the rest of the day then?" Axel asked as he crossed his arms.

Xigbar shrugged, "Whatever you feel. But don't forget to fill out the journals for today. The journals are in your rooms. Be sure to fill them out each day. Here have some potions to heal up," Xigbar said handing each bot a potion. And with that Xigbar left the room, leaving the two boys on their own.

"So, what do you wanna do now Isa?" Axel asked as he drank his potion.

Saix shrugged after taking a sip of his own potion, "I don't know…I guess I will go back to my room and fill out that journal."

"No don't go do that yet. Let's go do something fun. We haven't explored this castle yet, let's see what there is," Axel said.

"I guess so," Saix said as they started walking out of the room.

The two walked around the castle for a while, exploring all the areas that they could go to. They explored the various different rooms like the library, the kitchen, and various other rooms. Along their way of exploring, they saw some of the other members. Though they didn't go and talk to any of them. Once they were done exploring they were walking down a hallway back in the direction of the bedrooms.

"Hmm what should we do now?" Axel asked as he thought.

"Does it matter if we do anything more? We should rest after the training we just had."

"But I don't wanna just sit around for the rest of the day and do nothing. Oh! I got it! How about we head over to Twilight Town and get more of that Sea Salt Ice Cream?" Axel asked with enthusiasm.

"You really wanna go back there just for the ice cream?" Saix asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, plus it gives us something else to do. Come on let's go," Axel said as he opened a Dark Corridor and pulled Saix through before he was given a chance to respond.

The two boys exited out the portal and into Twilight Town. They found themselves in the main part of the town. Once they boys had bought their ice cream Axel had suggested that they had back up to the clock tower to eat it. They walked up there and sat down and began to eat their ice cream.

"Hey, here is an idea. How about each day after we do training or whatever we have to do, we come here to eat ice cream?" Axel asked.

Saix didn't say anything, he just sat their silence as he ate his ice cream. He stared off into the sunset and didn't even look over at Axel.

"Isa? You okay?" Axel asked.

Saix let out a huff of air, "We should stop calling ourselves by our old names…"

"What?"

"They gave us new names when we joined the Organization, so we should start using them," Saix replied.

"But… we can still call each other by our old names. When we are around other members we can use our new names. Just use our old names just between us, ya know 'cause we're friends." Axel explained.

Saix rolled his eyes and sighed, "Sure…"

"Is something wrong?" Axel said as he leaned forward a little to try to look at Saix in the eyes, but Saix turned his head away. "Isa come on...what's bugging you?"

Saix quickly turned and looked at Axel, "How can you be so calm about all of this?! This isn't just some fun vacation."

"Yeah I know...but I just thought-" Axel started to say, but he was cut off by Saix.

"This is all your fault Lea! Don't you realize that? It's your fault we basically 'died' and ended up here and joined that Organization. It's your fault we are Nobodies!" Saix shouted with a hint of anger.

Axel lowered his head, "I know...I'm sorry…"

Saix rolled his eyes again, "Sure you are."

"I am though!" Axel shouted.

"You just never think. You blindly did something that everyone else would have seen as stupid and look where it has gotten us." Saix retorted.

Axel sighed and frowned, "I really am sorry Isa...please...you know me well enough that I mean it. I didn't mean for things to get like this...I just was tired of not being able to do anything."

It was now Saix's turn to sigh, "Yeah I know...But we are essentially stuck in the Organization now. I still don't fully trust them. I feel they know more than they have told us."

"Do you want to do something about it?" Axel asked.

"I don't know...maybe I'll try to find out something...but right now I think we should just go along with what they say," Saix said.

"Alright…" Axel said as he finally took another bite into his ice cream.

"And...if you want we can come here after training each day. It is nice and peaceful here," Saix added.

"Thanks," Axel said.

For the rest of the time they ate their ice cream, they sat in silence. After they had finished their ice cream they headed back to The Castle That Never Was. With not feeling like doing anything more, the two heading back to their rooms for the evening.

Later that night Axel sat on his bed. He had written his journal for the day and now just sat on his bed. He was thinking over everything that had happened. He knew that it was his fault that he and Saix had ended up as Nobodies. He wanted to feel upset about it, but there was just this emptiness inside. He really couldn't truly feel anything, he could only remember those feelings. Axel knew that this was going to be hard to adjust to, but it was going to be hard to get use to the hollowness eating away at him inside.

Over the next several days Axel and Saix were put through more training. During the training days, they soon found out what their attribute was. Axel's attribute was with fire, which made Axel very amused and happy. For Saix, they were not able to determine was his attribe was right away. But after some other tests with Saix out in other worlds, they found that Saix gained boosts of strength from the moon.

Every day the training got a little more intense and tougher, and after every training they two would go to Twilight Town to eat ice cream together. Their conversations weren't a whole lot, but they would talk about how they thought their training was going and various other things. They tried not to think too much about their lives as Somebodies though. Before they knew it almost a week had passed, it went by so quickly.

After visiting several more worlds Sora, Donald and Goofy, had finally returned back to Traverse Town. When they got back to the world, Sora first looked around the First District to see if Lea and Isa were around. He scanned the area, but he didn't see them anywhere.

"I wonder where they are…" Sora muttered quietly.

After checking in with Pinocchio and Geppetto, who were now staying in a house in the First District, they went and found Cid next to the Accessory Shop. Once Cid came back after installing the new gummi block on their ship, Sora finally decided to ask about Lea and Isa.

Cid didn't answer at first, almost looking uncomfortable with the question. But then he finally spoke up, "That's something you should ask Leon about. He's probably somewhere in the Third District."

Sora thanked Cid and then started to head into the Second District, though he started to feel a little bit worry on what Cid meant.

"We shouldn't be wasting so much time," Donald grumbled as they made their way through the Second District.

"I just wanna know where Isa and Lea are," Sora said as he took out some Heartless to his left. He didn't say it, but he was a little worried based off of what Cid had said. Just what could have happened since he was gone?

"There's no harm with checkin' in on friends," Goofy added cheerfully.

The three soon made it to the Third District and found Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith inside the small house. They were greeted by them as soon as they entered the room.

"So your journey is going alright then?" Leon asked and Sora nodded.

"Yeah...but...where are Isa and Lea?" Sora asked.

Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith all suddenly looked down with sadness, which just caused Sora to become more worried.

"Did something happen? Please tell me," Sora pleaded.

It took a minute, but finally Yuffie was the one to speak up, "Well...we don't know exactly what happened...but we have a idea."

"What do you mean?" Sora asked.

"Well a few days after you were last here...they disappeared," Yuffie explained. "We looked all over for them, but we couldn't find them anywhere."

"What do you think happened then?"

"At first...we weren't sure," Leon spoke up. "But then...I checked by the Gizmo Shop...and…" He trailed off before walking over to a cabinet and opening it up. He pulled something out and showed them to Sora.

Sora's eyes widened as he gasped, "Those are Lea's!"

Leon nodded, "These were laying in the Gizmo Shop… and as you probably know the Gizmo Shop is filled with Heartless…"

"Wait…You don't mean that…" Sora trailed off not wanting to finish his words.

"We didn't want to assume something so sad," Aerith started "But we haven't seen them in days…"

"They can't be gone though!" Sora nearly shouted.

"Sora," Aerith said in a calming voice, "I know you are upset, but we all are."

"I know…" Sora frowned as he sighed, lowering his head. "I just can't believe that they are…" he trailed off, not wanting to finish his words. He then lifted his head up, "Isn't there a chance, that they still might be alive? But just in another world?"

The other three didn't respond at first, they stood there in a awkward silence. Finally Aerith spoke up, "It might be possible...but we don't know for sure."

Sora then smile, "Well then I am going to believe that they are still out there. I can feel it in my heart." Sora placed a hand over his chest. The others couldn't help but smile back at Sora's positivity.

And that wraps up Ch.4 I was having trouble where to end it, but I think that was a good place to stop.
