It has been a while since he heard from Sora. Jericho enters the door to find a person in a black cloak with pink hair looking down at Sora's unconscious body. "Mar-Marluxia." He whispers.
The one named Marluxia turns his head and looks at the teenager quizzically. "How do you know my name?"
The silver-haired boy takes a step back. "I studied the Organization XIII during my free time. Nearly all of you are extinct by two young boys."
"Nearly?" He raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
He explains to him after he returns to nothingness. Especially told him what happened to the castle, such as Sora going back to sleep to restore his old memories, and the real Riku defeated his Replica. Once the hero woke up, he fought against the remaining members and Axel even helped him, not leaving out a single detail. "And so after that, Roxas is the only survivor left from the Organization and Naminé returns back to her Somebody." He finishes.
"I see..." Marluxia looks down again at Sora. "So he's responsible for my resurrection?"
Jericho nods. "Yes, out of pure jealousy from that boy Riku."
The Nobody grabs the Keyblade Master by the wrist then throws his arm around his neck. The young man moves out of the way as Marluxia exits the room. He could tell the heavy tension in the air even though the Nobodies are believed to have no emotions. "The only other person in this castle cannot be trusted." The Graceful Assassin nods then places the brunette down on the bed.
Marluxia whirls around in a swift movement and grabs Jericho's collar then shove him against the wall. "Why do you remind me so much of him?" He asks dangerously as his sky blue pools narrows.
"I will tell you all in a good time," he replies calmly, "but for now, all I can say is that he has a big influence on me." The older one drops the younger on the floor.
"Na…" a voice broke the silence and the two boys turn to face the owner. "Na... Naminé, help me."

Kairi
I felt something tug at my heart when someone called my Nobody's name. " Leon, did you hear something?"
He shakes his head no. "Whatever it is, you shouldn't listen to that voice."
My head felt woozy as Naminé responds with a question. "What is wrong Sora?" She asks, concerned. It feels like she knew where he is right now but I still don't understand why he would contact her.
"My…head. It hurts." He replies.
I could see her in her transparent form nodding knowingly. "I understand. I'll come right over." She left without telling me where she's going and I suddenly felt incomplete without her.
Footsteps approach me and I try to lift my head up but my vision is blurry and couldn't tell who it was. Something touches my forehead and I try again, but it was no use. " Leon, land to the nearest world." The voice orders to the pilot. "She's burning up!"

Riku
Two women and a girl slightly older than me were busy running around the house. The male blonde warrior who led me here steps inside then shuts the door behind him. All three of them stops and exclaims his name in unison.
"Cloud!"
All of them shouting at once were rather confusing but I knew which one is Tifa immediately. She has long dark hair down to her elbows with kindness and devotion in her chocolate brown pools. She wears a black sleeveless top that shows an inch of her midriff with a white, thin layer underneath it. Somehow her casual attire gives a sign to back away when you crossed her.
"So you're the one…"
"Huh?" She blinks her eyes in surprise at my sudden outburst. Something tells me there's more to it than she's letting me know.
"I recognized your voice. You were the one who found me before I passed out from blood loss." I explained.
She recovers quickly after she looks away and met Cloud's warning glare, even I could feel it burning at the back of my head. "Oh, right. Forgive my rudeness, I'm Tifa," she gestures to a woman around her age wearing a pink clad dress and have a ribbon in her brown hair, "she's Aerith," she gestures to the other girl who has short black hair and her outfit is dressed like a ninja, "that's Yuffie," she gestures to the last person who is my guide, "and that's Cloud."
I nod to each one of them in acknowledgement and then introduced myself. "Hey guys, I'm Riku." Aerith clasped her hands over her mouth and Yuffie stares at me as though I have three heads. "What?"

Jericho
The Graceful Assassin immediately went to his side. Sora tosses and turns with the sheets tangling his limbs. The brunette mumbles something but I couldn't hear it. "He said his head hurts and needs Naminé." He said as though he read my thoughts.
A girl that looks like Kairi with light blonde hair and white dress rushes to his side then places her hand on top of his head. "It can't be! I pushed those memories to the back of his mind!" She exclaims as she pulls her hand back as though she touched hot water. Then she looks at the other people who are in the same room. Her eyes fell on the pink-haired man then gasps and backs away until she is pushed against the wall. "Sora defeated you! How can you be alive?"
