Author's Notes: I finally figured out my problem. WRITER'S BLOCK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~ *faints*. As for the static part in the fights, three things: Either I'm lazy about the fight scenes or I just can't think for how they'll fight or I'm working on them. That's all. Also, I need a good last name for Aqua. Got any good one's before I stick her with Hikari?

Trivia: Shit's about to get real soon. This is the second to last arc of this story.

Trivia 2: If you're up to it, check out the cast's Facebook pages: Xion Hikari (Kingdom Hearts Legacy); Xion Replica (Kingdom Hearts Legacy); Rikixa Hikari (Kingdom Hearts Legacy); and Dark Namine (Kingdom Hearts Legacy). They usually break the fourth wall sometimes so you can ask questions, get inside scoops on what they're doing, and talk to them about the canon Kingdom Hearts.

Warnings: Language (Rikixa is such a foul mouth)

Credits: A special thank you to for letting me use scenes from his KH story, Body and Soul. I credit you my friend :)

The Blue-Haired Keyblader

Day 301

Saix turned sideways from his viewing of Kingdom Hearts to see Xion and Rikixa RTCing.

"Mission complete…" Xion said in a monotone voice.

"Well done- What's wrong Number XIV?"

"None of your fucking business Saix." snarled Rikixa.

They stalked off from a fuming Saix as Roxas ran up to the girls.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Something's wrong in Twilight Town." said Rikixa, "We sensed someone giving off the same vibe as us, but they'll nowhere to be found."

"Maybe they're stuck in limbo?" Roxas suggested.

"Don't know." Xion shrugged, "We plan on checking it out tomorrow."

Nearby, Axel finished listening to the conversation and went over to a bored Saix, unaware that Xion Replica had watched him eavesdrop from the sofa.

"Why do I have the feeling that things are about to change?"

Day 302

The Grey Room

"Hey Xion!"

Yawning, Xion woke up from her nap on the couch to find Roxas looking down at her.

"Any reason why you woke me up from my nap?" she asked, annoyed.

"Me and Axel are gonna be partnered up with you and Rikixa today." he answered, "Just for some good old fashion heart collecting."

"Where?"

"Twilight Town."

"Okay then." Xion got up from the sofa, "I'll just go to XIII and get some supplies."

"Who's XIII?" asked Roxas.

"Our resident moogle." she answered as she went over to see said moogle.

A few minutes later, Rikixa entered the Grey Area, meeting Xion near XIII.

"Need some Elixirs." She mumbled as Xion finished buying her much needed supplies.

Giving her money to XIII, it scrambled around its pack and produced several bottle of Elixir and giving then to Rikixa.

"Thanks." Rikixa said as she pocket them.

"Ready?" asked Xion.

"Always." Rikixa nodded, "I need some action."

With that, the girl went over to Roxas and Axel, who were both standing by Saix.

"You ready?" Saix asked to a mean way.

When all four members nodded, Saix explained the mission.

"Poison Plants have infested Twilight Town. A prefect opportunity to capture a surplus of Hearts to complete Kingdom Heart, which will no doubt please our Superior. Questions?"

When no one answered, Saix opened a portal of darkness.

"You have your orders. Now go."

Twilight Town

The four Nobodies arrived in the Sandlot area of Twilight Town, which was devoid of life. But they can sense the many Heartless that infested the World.

"Split up and take them out." Xion said, "We should be strong enough individually to take out a single Poison Plant Heartless. Should take no more than 15 minutes. Afterwards, meet up in front of the clock tower."

"For ice cream?" asked Roxas.

"Not just yet." Xion explained, "We'll be together to do one more sweep of the area after we eliminate all the Poison Plants."

"Just for fuckin' Saix." Rikixa sneered.

Xion grinned, "Exactly. And Axel…"

"Yeah?" he said, grumbling.

"No hard feelings about what happened to my sister, just don't blow yourself up."

He sighed, "Right, and sorry."

Rikixa nodded, "Just don't do something like that again flamehead."

"Ice cream before we RTC?" asked Roxas, "You know I scream for ice cream after every mission."

"We all do buddy." Axel said, ruffling his hair, "I know I got that memorized."

Everyone laughed, now forgetting that little incident with Xion Replica. Smiling, Xion put her hand out. Rikixa and put her hand on Xion's hand. Likewise with Roxas. And finally Axel, who was now back to his old self.

"Let's do this shit." Rikixa said.

Breaking, the three Keyblade Wielders and the Fire Dancer split off into four different directions.

"Where am I?"

A young blue-haired woman found herself on top of the Clock Tower in Twilight Town.

"This place…" she thought, "It's neither light nor darkness… What's going on?"

15 minutes later…

Twilight Town – In front of the Clock Tower

"I managed to get about ten of those buggers." Xion said, "What about you guys?"

"Me and you tied for ten." Roxas responded.

Rikixa laughed, "Beat you guys by one."

"Guess I played around too much." Axel grumbled, "I only got about six."

Xion just shook her head, "Ready for the sweep?"

Before any of the others could respond, a mass of darkness appeared behind Xion, the pressure of the energy making her turn around sharply.

"Ah, Xion?" Roxas looked weary as the darkness began to form into something big, "Was this part of the mission?"

"Why you asking me?" Xion complained, "How should I know?"

"Um guys… why do I have the feeling that we're totally fucked?" asked Rikixa as the darkness formed into something very familiar.

"Darkside…" Roxas muttered.

The colossus Heartless loomed over them, its yellow eye peering at the group of Nobodies.

"Ideas?" asked Roxas.

"I'd say we kick ass!" Axel declared, spinning his chakrams, "There's four of us, and one of him."

"Good point." Roxas nodded, summoning his Kingdom Key, "Girls?"

"No question." Rikixa smirked, drawing Oblivion while Xion drew Omega Weapon, "Luckily it's not a Dark Follower."

"Let's do this." Xion said as the Darkside drew back its fist.

But before any of the Nobodies could move, the Darkside suddenly stopped moving.

"Wha-?" they said before the Darkside split into two, with little Shadow Heartless raining out of the halves. They didn't get far, as beams of light rain hell down on them, with the Shadow Heartless disappearing into the darkness from which they came, leaving behind orbs and items.

"What… the…hell?" Rikixa looked dumbfounded as the darkness cleared.

To their surprise, the darkness cleared to reveal a woman with blue hair, wearing a black, sleeveless shirt, white skirt, black stockings, metal shoes, fingerless gloves, bell sleeves, and pieces of armor on her arms. In her hand is a weapon that looks every much like a Keyblade.

Xion blinked while Rikixa looked on in surprise as the blue-haired Keyblader dismissed her weapons.

"Xion. Could it be?" Rikixa whispered.

"Yeah." Xion nodded, "She must be the one we were sensing yesterday."

"She has a Keyblade." Roxas noticed, "How can that be?"

"Who cares?" Rikixa said, "She just saved our asses."

"…" For some reason, Axel was not sharing everyone else's enthusiasm, as the woman turned around to look at them. Her eyes widened as her eyes fell on Roxas.

"Ven?" she asked.

"Ven?" Xion repeated."

"Who's that?" asked Axel, confused.

"He's one of the Three Legendary Keybladers." Xion explained.

"Oh…"

The others turned towards the woman, who looked suddenly downcast as she dematerialized her Keyblade.

"Wait." she thought, "He's not him, even though he's looks just like him."

"Which means…" Rikixa's eyes widen as she put two and two together.

"She must be!" Xion squealed, "The legends of the three tragic keybladers are true!"

"What are you talking about?" the blue-haired Keyblader frowned, suspicious.

"You and your friends are famous." Rikixa explained, "Your stories are written in a book we have in our library."

"Even so, what you did was amazing!" Roxas said, excited, "We never seen anyone else take down a Heartless as fast as Xion."

"Um, thanks?" the young woman said nervously.

"We should thank you actually." Roxas continued, "And your Keyblade. It looks just as unique as ours!"

To illustrate, Xion summoned Kingdom Key, Roxas summoned Oathkeeper as Rikixa summoned Omega Weapon.

"What do you think?" asked Rikixa, grinning, "Cool huh?"

The young woman's blue eyes widened in surprise as she lunged out and grabbed Roxas and Xion with a wild expression on her face.

"Hey!"

"What the hell!"

"Where did you guys get those?" she shouted at them, "Tell me!"

"Calm down!" Rikixa jumped in, prying Aqua away from her friends, "What's with you?"

"It's just- LOOK OUT!"

The girl used her energy to force the other Keybladers back as several fireballs zoned in on her. She cartwheeled out of the way just in time.

"What the hell are you doing Axel?" Rikixa yelled, noticing that Axel has his chakrams out and was looking menacing.

Ignoring Rikixa, Axel pointed his flaming chakrams at the Keyblader, who summoned her Master's Keeper.

"Lady, if you know what's good for you, I suggest that you come with me, quietly."

"Axel!" Xion snarled, "Stop it!"

"And if I refuse?" the Keyblader asked, her eyes narrowing, her voice becoming cold.

"You have no choice." Axel answered flatly.

Conflict Resolved

"Rikixa! What the hell!" Axel roared as he tried to forcing himself out of Rikixa's Fijiwara armbar submission hold.

"Go!" Xion yelled at the blue Keyblader, "Get outta here!"

"Wha-" the girl was stunned at the turn of events.

"GO!" Xion and Rikixa yelled at her.

After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and sprinted over to the deeper part of Twilight Town.

"Get off me!" Axel yelled as he tried to get out of Rikixa's hold, "You're letting her get away!"

All that got him was Xion and Rikixa kicking his ass as Roxas just watching them, sighing.

"Why did he attack her?" Roxas wondered as Xion hit Axel in the groin, "She saved us from fighting that Heartless after all."

After five minutes, Xion and Rikixa got off of Axel, who looked way worse for wear.

"Ow~"

"Sorry Roxas…" Xion grumbled, "Looks like that ice cream's gonna have to wait for a while."

Roxas moaned, "Another day, another heart- Wait, make that lots of hearts…"

The World That Never Was – The Grey Room

As usual, Saix was seen looking up at Kingdom Hearts, until someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning, he saw Xemnas standing next to him, also looking up at Kingdom Hearts.

"Is it not beautiful Saix?" he asked.

"It is beautiful Superior." Saix agreed, "I cannot wait for the day that Kingdom Hearts will finally be complete."

Xemnas nodded in agreement, as a dark portal opened behind the two Nobodies. When it cleared, Xemnas and Saix turned to find Xion, Rikixa, and Roxas in one piece, while Axel, well…

"What happened?" asked Saix, annoyed.

"Our mission was a success." Xion reported, "Those Poison Plants got wasted while Axel got beat up for doing something stupid."

"And what did he do?" asked Xemnas, interested.

"He tried to attack a potential ally when she saved us from a Darkside." Roxas explained.

"Ally?" Saix looked dumbfounded.

"She?" Xemnas parroted.

"Yeah." Roxas nodded, "Like Xion, she can take out a huge Heartless with one stroke of her Keyblade."

"Netted us some munny, orbs, and items because of it." Rikixa added.

"A Keyblade that's not on our side." Saix suddenly looked alarmed, "Superior, you orders?"

"What's wrong?" Roxas frowned as Xemnas suddenly had a faraway look on his face.

"What was the color of her hair and eyes?" he asked finally.

"Uh, blue." Xion responded, "All blue. Why?"

Xemnas just smiled, "You done well Xion. You, your sister, XIII, and XV deserve a day off from hunting Heartless tomorrow."

Saix was shocked as said Nobodies blinked, "Eh?"

"You heard me. Use it to find the woman and bring her to me. I would like to speak with her." Xemnas said as he turned around to look out the window, "Dismissed. All expect… Axel."

"OK~" Xion said as she and Rikixa let go Axel.

With a nod, Xion and her fellow Keybladers files out of the Grey Room.

"Superior…" Saix started.

"Silence." Xemnas snapped, "Axel."

"Yes boss?" Axel groaned as he picked himself up.

"I have an assignment for you."
