Part Six: A Prophecy

Demyx made his way to the Alter of Naught with a worried mind. He hoped that Melody would be alright. He felt reassured knowing that Axel will be there to protect her. Demyx quietly walked out on to the large balcony where the Superior waited for him.

"Why?" Demyx asked boldly, standing a few feet behind his leader.

"There is a prophecy," Xemnas spoke without turning around. "It states that an eighth princess holds a power so great that it can either diminish both darkness and light. It seems that the princess has chosen the path of light. She is now a threat to us and must be destroyed before any further harm can be done to us. That eighth princess is your witchly friend."

"How is that possible?" Demyx asked in disbelief.

"She was born into a powerful family," Xemnas said, now facing Demyx. "You have a new mission, Number Nine. First, you need to destroy her source of power; the keyblades chosen one. Then you must destroy the girl."

"She would never put us in harms way," Demyx protested.

That's where you're wrong. She will be the cause of your death. You must get to her before she gets to you."

"You're sending the wrong guy," Demyx moaned, massaging his temples.

"You're the only one she trusts; you're perfect for this mission. Now go; you will find the keyblader in Hollow Bastion." Demyx nodded, seeing there was no use in arguing. He opened a portal of darkness, bringing up his hood before entering it. He had to speak with Axel before completing his mission.

XxXxXxXxX

"I mean it, Melody. Don't leave the house until Demyx or I come to get you," Axel spoke in a serious tone.

"Okay, I get it!" Melody shouted, having gone over this a thousand times. "Can I have my arm back now?" Axel noticed that he still held onto the girls arm since they left Castel Oblivion. He let go, scratching the back of his head like he usually does when there's not much else to say.

"I've got to return to the Castle now. I expect you to stay put."

"Alright, already!" Melody was becoming annoyed. "Good-bye, Axel," she said, shutting her front door. Axel stared at the door for a moment before shaking his head; he just knew that that girl was going to get herself into trouble. He turned around and laughed to himself.

"Whoa, when did you get here?" Axel asked Demyx, who had apparently been standing behind him the whole time.

"A few minutes ago; I wanted to make sure you weren't causing any trouble."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" he asked defensively. Demyx laughed at his friends reaction.

"So, how is she?" Demyx asked, nodding towards the house.

"She's bright and bubbly as ever," he laughed. "How are you doing? You don't look so good."

"I'm not; Xemnas assigned me to a new mission."

"Really? What is it?" Axle asked curiously.

"Melody's the eighth princess; Xemnas wants her destroyed to save us."

"No kidding," Axel said, surprised. "You're not going to go along with it, are you?" Demyx looked down at his feet, not wanting to face what was to come.

XxXxXxXxX (A/N: I'm sorry for the frequent POV changes! It has to be done for the chapter to work how I'd like it to! Once again, sorry!!! ;;)

Melody was amused by Axels over protective ways; she now saw why both he and Demyx were friends. Everyone worries too much. Speaking of worrying…

"Mom, I'm home!" Melody called out, but received no response. "Mom?" she said again, walking into the kitchen. On the counter she found a message:

Gone out shopping. Be back around six.

Love you! Mom XOXO

Melody's gaze went to the clock; it was only eleven. So much has happened in the last three hours. She didn't know what to do with herself; who knows when Demyx and Axel would come back.

"You can't do that to her! She's your friend!" Melody heard Axel shout. He was back sooner than she thought. She ran to the front of the house and looked out the window, spotting Axel and Demyx arguing over something. She quietly opened the window and listened to the conversation.

"You know me better than that!" Demyx said, appalled.

"Then what are you going to do?

"I'm going to obey my orders. I'm going to battle him…and loose," Demyx said, looking off into the distance. Melody's jaw dropped; what was he planning on doing?

"Demyx, that's suicide!" Axel shouted.

"I'll be fine; I'll escape before he can do too much damage," Demyx smiled, confident in his plan.

"Be careful; if anything were to happen to you…" Axel looked at the pavement for a moment before looking back up at Demyx with a smirk. "Where ya gonna be? You know, just in case you get your butt kicked and all."

"Ha ha, very funny Axel," Demyx smiled. "I'll be at the Bailey. You can come watch a true villain fight." Axel laughed.

"Fire is the true villain," Axel said, calling his flaming chakrams to his grasp.

"Ah ah ah," Demyx said, waving his index finger at the pyro. "Water is superior to fire." Demyx's sitar appeared above him in a cluster of bubbles and landed gracefully in his hands. "Dance water! Dance!" Demyx shouted, pointing the arm of the unique instrument at Axel.

"Uh oh." Axel's face dropped as gallons of water hit him at a furious speed. Melody forgot about what had been said a few minutes before and snickered at Axels drowned dog state. "Demyx!" Axel roared once the water was out of his eyes.

"See ya!" Demyx ran into a portal of darkness, escaping Axel's wrath and entering a different fate. Melody regained her senses and remembered what was going on. Now, where was it that Demyx was going?

"The Bailey!" Melody shouted, remembering what Demyx had said; forgetting that Axel was still outside. His gaze adverted to the window Melody was at, eyes widening in surprise.

"Melody?" Axel asked questionably. She gaped at Axel for a moment, then sprinted to the back of her house. "Melody! Don't you dare!" she heard Axel shout. She flung open her back door and headed up the stairs to the Bailey, hoping Axel wasn't on her tail. Melody reached the Bailey with no sign of an angry Axel. There was no sign of Demyx, neither. The once peaceful Bailey was now in ruins. Sections of the staircase had crumbled into nothing on the dirt ground. Melody was surprised that bits of the stairs were still in place by the way things were looking. Melody jumped from section to section until she reached the lower level. She immediately ran through a gaping hole in the wall, hoping that Demyx was near. Fortunately, her assumption was right; unfortunately, he looked to be in bad shape.

"Demyx!" Melody shouted, running towards his bent over form.

"Melody?" Demyx said, looking up at her in horror. She knelt by his side and wrapped her arms around him, forcing him to lean into her. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous!" he said in a hoarse whisper.

"Demyx," Melody sighed. "Why? Why did you do it?" Demyx know what she was talking about and smiled at her.

"To save you," he beamed. "But, it wasn't supposed to end this badly; I guess it's better for you if I just disappear."

"You're so stupid!" Melody shouted. She didn't understand his intentions completely. This wasn't fair to him; she could have done something. She stared at the Nobody in her arms. He was in great pain; eyes closed and struggling for breath. She buried her face into his spiky soft hair, enjoying the feeling against her face.

"You should go now," Demyx said a few minutes later. Melody lifted her head and looked into his eyes. His were now open, staring off into the distance. She watched in horror as Demyx began to fade away in her arms.

"Don't leave me," she whispered softly. Demyx's gaze shifted to her, a faint smile appearing on his lips. To her disappointment, his eyes quickly averted to a distraction behind her.

"Melody," Demyx whispered, closing his eyes in pain. "Run!" Melody looked at Demyx in confusion; run from what? She looked over her shoulder and now knew why he told her to run; a portal of darkness had appeared behind her.

"Who's there?" she asked hesitantly. A cloaked hooded figure stepped gracefully out of the darkness, spotting her immediately. "Who are you? Stay away!" Melody shouted, wrapping her arms protectively around the fading Demyx. The figure dropped its hood, revealing the man that Xaldin called Saix. "You!" she said in realization; this was the man who had saved Demyx from before. "What do you want?" she asked skeptically. The man stared down upon the two, his face as readable as a stone.

"You care for this boy a lot, don't you?" he asked solemnly.

"I-" She looked up in surprise, wondering why he would ask such a thing. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said, looking away; not trusting the Nobody. "e saved me several times; I am in debt." She wasn't lying about that; she really did owe him a lot, but she wasn't going to tell him the full truth or she may endanger Sora and her friends.

"I see; you owe him your life," he said, rubbing his chin in thought. "If you could save him, what would you be willing to sacrifice?"

"What?" she asked, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. "Anything…" she whispered.

"Your powers?" he questioned.

"How did you-" he put up his hand to silence her.

"Before you make any decisions, you must learn something important about your existence." Melody didn't continue to question Saix; she sat quietly and gave him her full attention. "You were born into prophecy. There are a number of worlds that make up Kingdom Hearts; eight princesses are scattered throughout these worlds. Each princesses heart is pure enough to lock and unlock doors to other worlds that Kingdom Hearts has sealed away. Unfortunately, Kingdom Hearts is made up of both darkness and light, making it dangerous for the doors to be open. The eighth princess, though, has the power to fill Kingdom Hearts with either light or darkness. Melody, that princess is you. If you follow the path of light, the darkness would disappear; taking us with it. The worlds would finally be at peace. If you choose darkness, innocents will continue to suffer and die. Melody, this is your destiny. Are you willing to alter fate to save this boy? This…Nobody?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. Melody's gaze went blank. She came out of her stupor a minute later.

"You've got to be joking me!" she shouted. "I can't be- I am not that princess! Tell me I am not the eighth princess!" she raved. Saix shook his head, knowing he'd get either this reaction or acceptance; he had been hoping for the latter. Melody cried out in frustration; too much information in one given moment. What was she going to do? Demyx groaned in her arms, slightly moving in pain; she knew what had to be done. She gently laid Demyx on the ground and rose to her feet, walking over to the mysterious Nobody.

"Like I said," she stated, looking up at Saix. "Anything." Saix smiled knowingly to himself; the prophecy was coming true.

"Make sure he stays unseen; if Xemnas finds him, he'll be severely punished for both failing his mission and betraying the organization. Do that, and I'll take care of the rest." Melody nodded; she, too, had a mission. "Now, look deep into your heart; find you powers core. Once you've found it, put your very being into transferring that power into the boy; wish it away." Melody concentrated, making sure not to distract herself with roaming thoughts. She focused on her heart, trying to find her powers strength. She tried and tried again, but it seemed hopeless; she was unable to locate her power. Her thoughts automatically filled with dread, knowing that if she couldn't find her power, Demyx would surely die. She thought back to the day they met; how he was so cold to her. He doesn't show it much, but she knows he's overprotective of her. He's saved her multiple times, now it was her turn. She put all her heart into finding the power she needed to save him. She felt the warm flow of energy travel through her body, touching every inch of her. She had found her source; Demyx was her source of power. She forced the energy out of her with all her strength, directing it at Demyx. She felt her magic drain slowly out of her system, weakening her as it decreased. She dreaded the feeling of vulnerability, but Demyx deserved to live more than she did. As the last bits of magic exited her body, she opened her eyes and studied the now non-fading Nobody. She turned her attention back to Saix, his face fading in and out of focus.

"Did it work?" she whispered. Saix nodded. "Good." With a small smile playing across her lips, she closed her eyes and let herself fall; unable to hold her weight up any longer.

me: now that the 'evil three' are under lock and key, I'd like to give you all a little extra something for reading this long awaited chapter and sticking with me so far!

PREVIEW OF PART SIX!

Saix reached out and caught the girl in her arms. He gently laid the girl down just as Demyx gained consciousness. Demyx got the wrong impression when he woke up seeing Saix towering over an unconscious Melody.

"Get away from her!" Demyx shouted, struggling to sit up. Saix glanced up at Demyx, smiling softly. "What have you done to her?!" Demyx asked, not fully understanding why Melody was on the ground, unconscious.

"It's not my destiny to kill her," Saix spoke carefully. "It's yours." With that said, a portal of darkness appeared behind the mysterious Nobody. "Take good care of her," he whispered, stepping into the darkness.

"Wait!" Demyx called out, leaning towards where Saix just stood. His cry was to no avail; the portal had already faded into nothing.
