Last time:

The dragon was white and light steel blue. Its body is thin and the feet were large. The tail is long, wide, flat and sports a few short spikes on its sides, with a dark gray zigzagging stripe near its tip. On its forehead is a large horn that curves slightly upward. As for the knight, it wore an unusual armor. Its helmet has two short spikes and a long, twisted antenna. Like most knights' helmets, there's a small opening in the front, just barely exposes its black face and glowing yellow eyes. In place of each of its hands are the jagged, light blue, ice blades. On the shoulder pads were Heartless emblems.

"Blue Rhapsodies, Ice Cannon, Avalanche, Chill Ripper," Voice identified. "Get rid of the weaklings to get to the bosses."

"On it," I answered, summoning Warrior's Pride.

After getting rid of the Blue Rhapsodies, Ice Cannons and the ice cubes, both the small and big ones, I made my way to the big ones. It was hard to beat them since it was a two-on-one and they were both strong. And with the air and ground combo of theirs, it's hard for me to land a hit on them without getting hit. It was block, then evade, then block, then evade, and more blocking and evading. Especially since the Chill Reaper was summoning pillars of ice from the ground. And the cold temperature isn't any help at all.

'If only I can stop them in their tracks so I can just easily burn them to ashes,' I thought. None of my gravity magics work on Heartless like them, so that's out of question. And it's easier to fight one of them when the Chill Reaper is just standing still or charging up to use one of its attacks.

After I finally defeated Avalanche with my fire magics and Fire Dash, I went to fight against the Chill Reaper. When I went to attack it, however, it was prepared to lunge at me with its ice sabers. I managed to block it, only to get pushed back by the force and end up at the edge of the platform. It then stood still again, recharging its energy. I took the chance and began to attack it with all my fire attacks. Just when I thought I would end it with one last attack, it suddenly summoned the ice pillars and went wild on me.

I somehow managed to stay alive from its attacks with only a few cold cuts, which then became frostbite. 'I hoped Nami explained to Chopper about what I'm doing,' I thought, not wanting to get back to reality with my body covered in frostbite again.

When the Chill Reaper was going for another attack, I quickly used my fire magic to counter it. "Fission Firaga!" A ball of fire was then fired from Warrior's Pride and hit the Heartless, exploded once it made contact. The smoke from the explosion subsided and there was nothing left from the reaper.

"Finally..." I sighed, falling to my knees in exhaustion.

"If this was a timing challenge, you would fail it and not get a Dream Eater recipe," I heard Voice say.

"Put a sock in it," I grumbled.

"I don't have any. In fact, I don't even have feet."

"You know what I mean! Anyway, not that I'm done, I should be going back to reality now."

"Yes, you should. And help out that tanuki of yours. It's being chased by your captain and chef again while it was treating you."

"AHHH! Chopper!" I screamed, quickly returning to reality.

*REALITY*

I shot up from my spot on the floor and quickly ran out of the room looking for Chopper. As I began to ran, though, I tripped on something.

"Just what do you think you're doing, Xion?" came a familiar voice. "Those frostbite came out of nowhere. You shouldn't be up and running yet."

"But Chopper is going to get eaten if I don't go, Dr. Kureha!" I reasoned, getting back up.

"Doctorine! Save me!" Speak of the devil. I turned to the source and saw Chopper being chased by Luffy.

"Wait!" he demanded.

"Slow!" I shouted, summoning my Keyblade and using the said magic on Luffy. Chopper then took his chance to jump into my arms for protection.

"Xion-nee help me!" he begged, as the effect of my magic wore off of Luffy, having him slam into a door.

"Xion! As your captain, I order you to give me the monster!" Luffy said.

"As the First Mate of your pirate crew Luffy, I refuse to obey that order," I calmly replied, petting Chopper.

"I refuse!"

"Refuse what?"

"I refuse your refusal!"

"You can't do that!"

"I'm your captain so I can!" the rubberboy tried to reason.

"Just because you're my captain doesn't mean that you can refuse my refusal! And besides, what makes you think that I will just give you Chopper?" I questioned.

"He's going to be our nakama."

"Really, Chopper?" I asked the reindeer.

"I never agreed to that!" Chopper replied. Yet, Luffy kept saying that he did say so.

"How about you both tell me what exactly happened while I was training?" I suggested. They both told me what happened, and it turns out, Chopper said nothing about joining.

"So you see, he said that he'll be our nakama!" And so Luffy said.

"WHERE IN THAT STORY DID I/HE SAY ABOUT JOINING YOU/US?!" Chopper and I asked in unison.

"When I offered him a position."

"That's where?!"

"Anyway Luffy, you can't just force people to join us. If Chopper doesn't want to go, then that's that, he won't go," I said.

"But he's a monster! He's cool!"

"That doesn't mean that we can force him to join us," I told the idiot captain, carrying Chopper out of the room.

"Oi! Wait! Where are you going with him?!"

"None of your business." That was what I said, but Luffy just followed me out.

"Well, then, you have him join us!" Luffy told me.

"Don't want to. Besides, Chopper already said that he doesn't want to come with us. Right?" I asked the reindeer in question.

"That's right. Even though I want to be with Xion again, I refuse to become a pirate!" he told Luffy.

"But being a pirate is-"

"Luffy," I spoke, giving him one of those looks that a mother would give to their child.

"But-"

"Hmm!"

"Yes. I understand," he said, suddenly sulking against a wall. I sweatdropped a little at the sight. "Xion, you meanie."

"Well, if you would just grow up, maybe I would reconsider the idea," I said.

"Really?! You're reconsidering the idea?!" That was too quick of a recovery!

"That was too quick of a recovery!" Chopper voiced out my thoughts.

"And I said MAYBE if you GROW UP!" I added.

"To what age?" Is he really that stupid?! Whoever his parents are, they have my condolences for having this idiot as their son! Ignoring the boy, I continued to walk away. "Oi! You didn't answer my question! And where are you going?"

"Just shut up, you rubber fool!"

*AT THE SAME TIME, IN NAMI'S ROOM**GENERAL'S P.O.V*

While Xion is carrying Chopper to who-knows-where, Dr. Kureha told Nami and Sanji Chopper's past, before they met Xion. There was only one man who reached out to the reindeer before her. His name was Dr. Hiluluk, also known as the quack doctor. He and Chopper were like a father and a son. When it was time to say good-bye, Chopper became upset and Hiluluk forced himself to have Chopper stay away from him. Later that day, the reindeer found out about his condition and went off to find a mushroom that can heal him. Little did the reindeer know, it was actually deadly poison. Despite this, the quack doctor accepted the mushroom.

The next day, Chopper did his best to cook the mushroom and make it into a soup. Hiluluk drank it and was disgusted at the taste, much to the male reindeer's shock and disappointment. He then laughed and cheered Chopper up. At that moment, the experiment he was working on for the past thirty years was complete, or so he said. He then left to Dr. Kureha's place, after telling Chopper to stay in his hideout, and requested her to spread his research all over the island in his place as well as taking care of Chopper and teaching him how to be a doctor. This confuses and irritates her to no end and kicks him out.

Later that day, Dr. Kureha thought over her friend's request. Replaying his words, her eyes widened in realization what he would be doing. She quickly went to Hiluluk's place, only to see that Chopper was the only one at home. Chopper, scared of the witch doctor, told her that Hiluluk was 'cured' and in a village. She didn't believe it, until Chopper presented to her half of the mushroom that he gave to his father-figure. Kureha became extremely upset and told Chopper the truth about the mushroom. The young reindeer at first didn't believe her, until she told him what it really means to be a doctor and the reason why they exists. Chopper became so sad, he cried. Afterwards, he went off to find Hiluluk to see him before he dies.

Chopper found him. However, the second he arrived, the quack doctor blew himself up. The reindeer was angered that Wapol would just laugh at his father-figure's death and was about to kill him. And he would've commited suicide, if it wasn't for Dalton. After knocking some sense into the reindeer's head with words, Chopper left, taking Hiluluk's hat with him.

Once he got back to his home, he begged Kureha to teach him how to be a doctor. Sighing in defeat, she took him in and accepted her friend's last wish.

"So for six years, Tony-kun was with you," Nami spoke, feeling sorry for the blue-nose reindeer.

"I've beaten everything I know into him," Dr. Kureha said.

"And what's the story with Xion-san?" Sanji questioned. "Of what I see, he really likes her."

"Ah, yes. And then there was Xion."

*FLASHBACK (ONE YEAR AGO)*

'It was back when I was treating a patient. A small but strong group of pirates came and wanted me to join them. Of course I refused, but the leader summoned some strange creatures that are similiar to the ones that were in Wapol's control that he left behind here on this island. Chopper stood in his way to protect me. The captain of the crew was about to attack him, but then, Xion came and fought in Chopper's place.'

"Who the hell are you?" the captain, Blackbeard, asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Xion asked back. "I don't know who you are, but since you're the the reason why there are a lot of Heartless here, I'll have to beat you to complete my mission."

"Mission?" Blackbeard and Kureha repeated. Xion pushed him back with her Keyblade.

"I don't know who you're working for, but if you do want to fight me, you have to go through my minions and crewmates first." Just when he said that, Heartless appeared, surrounding Xion, as well as Blackbeard's crewmates.

'It was a long and tough battle. In fact, it took hours. Yet, Xion managed to defeat the pirates and the Heartless, which then leaves only the captain. Xion seemed exhausted. Who wouldn't, when you're up against two dozen opponents? Before she could fight against the captain, he offered her a position in his crew. And did you know what Xion told him?'

"Screw the position! I'm not going to join your crowd since it has nothing to do with my future! Besides, who would want to be a pirate?!" Xion replied.

"Then I guess you'll just have to die!" Blackbeard made up his mind.

'That battle took longer than the previous one. It was a miracle how Xion could still fight. Just when it looks like the pirate was going to beat her, she managed to defeat him. She was about to give the finish blow to him, but then...'

"Leave," she told Blackbeard, confusing him. "I'm giving you a choice. You can either leave or die here. If you choose to leave, promise me this: No matter how much time pass, you will never come back here. Understand?" The defeated pirate just stared at the Nobody in shock. "Also, give back all the food and money that you stole from this place, now! Or I will have to kill you!"

'When she said that, those pirates reluctantly chose to leave this island, leaving all the food and money that they took from the villages. As soon as they left, Xion collapsed. All the villagers that were watching the whole battle became worried about her. Believe it or not, even I was worried about our saviour. So, in exchange for helping us, I had Chopper carry her all the way to this castle so we can treat her wounds. And boy, was I surprised to know one thing about this girl.'

'And what's that?' Sanji asked.

'It's that she doesn't have a heart, right?' Nami guessed.

'That's right,' Dr. Kureha answered.

'What?! But that's impossible!' Sanji protested.

'That's what the girl and I thought. Chopper is the only one who doesn't know about this. And I bet your captain doesn't know about it either. After the treatment, I did some research, trying to see if it was possible for humans to live without something as vital as a heart. In the end, it was impossible, unless if she ate a devil's fruit that changes her heart into a weapon. However, if that was the case, her heart would've went into her body, since it disappeared when she collapsed. So I decided to wait for her to wake up to find out about this.

When she woke up, she instantly wanted me to just let her go. Of course, as a doctor, I forbid that.'

"You have to let me go," Xion said to Dr. Kureha. "I'll be just fine."

"Not while you're in my castle," Dr. Kureha argued. "Look here girly, I only let my patients go if they are completely healed or if they die. And as a doctor-"

"But I'm not a human," Xion interrupted.

"That's what I would also like to talk to you about. What happened to your heart? How is it that you're alive without one?" Xion flinched at her question.

"I'm a puppet. A live puppet."

"That's ridiculous. How can a puppet be alive?"

"Well I'm one and I'm alive. Now I have to leave or my boss will get mad at me for not returning. And I don't want to give him any more reason to hate me."

"... All right. I'll let you go," Kureha said. Xion was relieved that she would be let go, until the witch doctor added a condition. "After I study your condition."

"But I-"

"No 'buts' or I will give you more injuries. None of your wounds have healed yet, and I'm the only doctor on this island, aside from my apprentice that is. And just because I'm a doctor, it doesn't mean that I can't fight. I'm actually really strong, so choose your choice wisely."

After that, she decided to stay until she's fully healed. During her stay here, I studied on her conditions, trying to figure out the secret of her not having a heart. When she saw Chopper, she found him cute and was very fond of him. Chopper was starting to like her himself. As time passed, those two created a bond, similiar to siblings'. Now that I think about it, I was starting to warm up to her myself. She told him that she comes from another island, one really far from this one, and the people on that island are experienced fighters and they all can create a portal out of thin air. I knew that she wasn't telling him everything. But I let that fact go.

When it was time for her to go, Chopper became really upset. But Xion promised him that she'll visit him everyday and that she'll bring some candy. As promised, she came here everyday, after she was done with those mission of hers. But then, on her last visit here...'

"Chopper, Doctorine," Xion called. "I... have some bad news. Or rather, horrible news."

"What's wrong, Xion-nee?" Chopper asked.

"This visit... is the last time we will see each other." Chopper and I couldn't believe our ears when she said that.

"That's... a lie, right?"

"I'm sorry, Chopper. But, I'm not." A portal then appeared behind her. "Sometime after I leave, you will forget me. All the good and bad times we had together will eventually disappear from your memories. I'm not suppose to exist anyway, so if you still remember me, and have very little memories left about me, don't blame yourself for being unable to keep them. This is good-bye. I will miss you." Xion then stepped into the portal.

"Wait, Xion(-nee)!" Doctorine and Chopper demanded, running after her. Unfortunately for them, the portal disappeared on them.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Out of the two of us, Chopper was really sad to hear that from Xion's lips. I didn't want to see my apprentice this hurt and told him that she might be lying. That lifted his spirits and as days passed, none of our memories about Xion disappeared, which is proof enough that she was lying and might be coming back," Dr. Kureha said. "And you know, I was planning to ask her what she meant at that time when she said that we won't remember her, but since she has an amnesia, it's hopeless to ask."

Nami and Sanji looked down, curious about Xion's last words to Chopper and Dr. Kureha.

"Things that you guys have with Xion..." Nami spoke.

"... Will disappear from your memories?" Sanji finished.

"That's what she said. But now, I will never know what she meant by that."

"Doctorine!" came Chopper's voice, as the reindeer barged into the room in his reindeer form. "Doctorine! Come quick! Wapol came back!"
