Thanks Chukober, Sadistic Insomaniac (I'm a Gangsternettic Insomniac) Aska-Seeker, chibi minamoto(You are so right! -HIGH FIVE- Though didn't I state my bonus chapter would be like a prologue? I meant the whole thing. Since no one would know why Roxas would be all powerful and stuff when Nami-hime prayed to him, I had to add it in), and Anonymous-Sakura(Roxas is so strong, isn't he? And he wasn't in any of his suped-up superhero forms either. But you shouldn't be surprised, because remember when Nami-hime was trapped in the Org. XIII and she went around touching everyone's doors? And then at Roxas' door someone wrote that they couldn't believe he lifted 100 pounds? Well, that's the equivalent of us lifting a bag of feathers)

Disclaimer: Do I own anything? No. Did I own anything? No. Will I own anything? Hopefully. Is that likely? No. Will I still hope for that to happen? Yeah!

Note: No yaoi in here. It seems like it, but believe me, it's NOT. It's more of a brotherly love-type thing, okay? They're just concerned for each other because they're friends! ----'s more of an older brother to -----. As I said in QoH, I may read, love, like, hate yaoi, but never write it.

Angels in Flight: Towa no Shirube

Chapter 19: You and I...Angels in Flight?

(Naminé's POV)

"S-Seifer?" I asked, my mouth hanging open in disbelief. Seifer and his Heartless posse(there was only one but it looked really powerful) suddenly appeared out of a darkness portal! Roxas was on the other side of the door as well...

"Long time no see, Naminé. I've missed you and I can see you've missed me as well. That's a very good thing, since from this point on we'll be attached to each other for the rest of our lives. Considering that I'm immortal, it could be very long indeed." He said, holding out his hand. Ha! As if I'd take it.

"But I'm human. I don't live that long!" I shouted, banging my elbow on the door so that Roxas would get the hint. Magically the door opened, and lucky for me, Roxas appeared. I stood up and immediately hid behind him.

"Seifer...what the hell are you doing here?!?" He asked, both his keyblades appearing. He looked at me and I noticed that his expression softened considerably. "I don't want Seifer to take you...I can handle him, I'm just worried about that Heartless over there. If you need any help, just scream, alright?" I knew he wouldn't be able to multi-task at defending me, defending himself, fighting off Seifer and the Heartless all at the same time. He may be an angel, but he's not a miracle machine.

"I've come here to take back what's mine, idiot." Seifer sneered, his gunblade appearing. I allowed my Storm Sword to appear in one of my hands. The Heartless, which was rather intimidating, rushed forward. It looked like a hybrid of a small human and an ant. It had long antennas and claws, glowing yellow eyes, but it was on two feet like a human and it was hunched back.

Roxas, not even moving, sliced it easily with his Oblivion. "Is that IT? That's pathetic!" He snickered, but Seifer just shook his head. The Neoshadow Heartless came back, but this time there were two. "So it has friends, eh?"

There had to be some trick to this, Roxas was right. He easily defeated the two Neoshadow, but when they rose again, there were four! "Roxas...they multiply when you defeat them!" I whispered, and he nodded.

"Keep on defeating them, Roxas, more'll just keep coming. Of course, how are you going to defend yourself and Naminé without actually killing the things?" Seifer asked, putting away his gunblade. I guess he felt no need to fight, but he was actually right. Two of them were gone(we had no idea where they were) and the other two were keeping Roxas busy.

"AH!" Suddenly, I felt claws pierce my back. I looked behind me and both of Seifer's evil little minions seemed like they were trying to take my heart. No! I would not let them have it! The thing that I would die without... "Get away!" I yelled, hacking at them both with my Storm Sword. They both split in half and the halves formed two separate Heartless. Now there were six in all.

"Naminé, having a little trouble? Why don't you come with me? I'll help you..." Seifer cooed, and I growled, hitting one with the flat of my blade as it jumped at me.

"Over my dead body! Which'll be pretty hard, don't you think?" Roxas answered for me. I looked over at him, he was handling his batch of Heartless pretty finely.

"I didn't ask you! I asked Naminé!" Seifer said, and I saw that he shot a beam of darkness at Roxas, who deflected it with his keyblade, and then in turn, Seifer jumped out of the way. "Now, Naminé, wouldn't you like to come with me?" He asked sweetly.

"No!" I shouted, and he frowned. He took out his gunblade again. But I couldn't watch the rest because I had to watch the Heartless I was handling. Then I heard the clashing of Roxas' two keyblades with the metal of Seifer's Hyperion. Which only meant one thing...

I looked behind me just to make sure. Yup. All the Neoshadows were solely concentrated on me. But Roxas had to do what he needed to do, so I held up my Storm Sword in a guarding position and my eyes scanned their formation like a nervous radar. I was in the middle of a circle formed by them...not a very good thing to be in, mind you. I didn't blame Roxas for fighting Seifer, that jerk was the real threat here. If I could just hold them off...

When one of them attacked, I ducked and it hit it's brethren. When the Neoshadow hit the other one, the one that got attacked split into two. Now there were seven. I panicked when I started seeing the Neoshadows getting the idea, and they attacked each other until there were now hundreds. I gulped. "R-Roxas..." I shrieked, paralyzed in fear. I heard Seifer's evil chuckle and they stopped fighting.

"How am I going to defeat all of them without actually defeating them?" Roxas asked, though it was almost to himself, as his keyblades became his wings and he flew down and picked me up. He flew back into the air, and thank Authority-sama the ceiling was high.

"Hand her over and I'll make all of them disappear." Seifer said. Roxas shook his head and I used my Storm Sword to kill a Heartless(that multiplied again) when the thing had latched itself onto Roxas' pretty blue wing.

"Are you deaf or just stupid? I think both, because I told you that the only you'll get her is if you pry her from my cold, lifeless fingers!" Roxas yelled. Seifer glared at him and silently commanded the Heartless to attack at once. Unfortunately, the hundreds of Neoshadows obeyed. "Hold on tight..." He whispered to me, and I did. Good thing I did, too, because he let go of me. Light formed around his hands and there was a flash of blinding light. I squeezed my eyes shut, but when I opened them all the Heartless were gone. Obliterated.

Seifer was also down, but he was slowly getting up. Roxas set me down on the ground and got in front of me. "Bring it on, Seifer." He said, his wings turning into the Oblivion and Ultima. Seifer got up and shook his head.

"Gladly." Seifer obliged, his gunblade appearing as they both rushed forward, Roxas' keyblades meeting his Hyperion. I sat down, hugging my knees to my chest. I didn't like violence from the start, but I just couldn't stand to see them fight over and over. What if Seifer fatally wounded Roxas, and wasn't able to recover? I shut my eyes, afraid that I just jinxed him.

I heard the clang of metal, some spells being shouted, and some other talking which was quite hushed so I couldn't hear it. I didn't want to hear whatever they were saying, either, as they were probably either insulting each other or cursing each other out and I didn't want any part of that. Then...there was soft silence. The only thing I heard was breathing. I opened my eyes. Total and complete darkness...

"W-What happened?" I asked, wondering why there was darkness. "W-what happened to light?" I also wondered why Roxas would let there be darkness. No one answered me. So I just stayed there until someone either found me, or until I could see again. I don't even know how long it was until I finally felt someone grab onto my shoulder and jerk me up into a standing position. I turned my head and saw that it was Roxas. I could only see him because there was a white glow around him, and his Organization Cloak was white and black. He looked like he was in perfect condition.

"Don't talk." Was all he said as he led me into the dark. Roxas seemed to know where he was going, so I didn't talk. I wasn't too sure where we were, but I highly doubted we were back at the castle. After awhile of walking around(I was so tired I felt like I could drop dead) he stopped and held out a hand. A circle of pure white(which almost blinded me because I wasn't used to seeing any shade of color besides from black) appeared, just floating in the darkness. He looked at me and nodded his head toward the circle. "Jump through it. I'll be right behind you." He whispered.

Roxas let go of me and stepped back. I ran toward the circle and jumped through it. I stepped forward, not sure of where I was. All around me was just an abyss of black and white, but the whole place seemed to be filled with a green light. I looked down and found that there was no floor. I was standing on nothing! I knelt down and tapped the 'floor' with my hands. It seemed stable enough.

"I'm sorry I left you alone in the darkness for awhile." Roxas said, appearing beside me. He held out a hand and I took it, standing up. "Seifer threw you into a portal of darkness and I tried to follow you, but he kept me occupied until I went into my Final Form, knocked him out, found you, and took you here."

"So...I was in darkness?" I asked, and he nodded. "Well...where are we now? This place doesn't look like my palace."

"This place...I don't know where it is, either. It's betwixt and between light and dark. Not twilight, not dawn or dusk. It's like the beginning of Nothing. Betwixt and Between Light and Dark, yet not Twilight...is Nothing." Roxas shrugged. "Darkness resides in darkness, light resides in light. I have a feeling people who are not accepted by either side live here. That's why I had such a hard time finding you in darkness, Naminé. Because without you, I have no light to lead the way."

"Aw...isn't that romantic?" Seifer appeared out of nowhere, armed with his gunblade. He looked unscathed as well. "I'm tired of playing around. Lucky for you, Naminé, you'll be the only girl in the entire world that will see fifty-percent of my power. I feel like this mannequin isn't worth my one-hundred percent." He charged and slashed at Roxas, who teleported so he was standing on the...ceiling? Could it be called the ceiling? Maybe where I was standing was the ceiling. I couldn't tell.

Then Seifer stepped towards me and grabbed my wrist. "Naminé, dear, I missed you so. Why must we always be apart when we're meant to be together? Don't worry, you'll be with me soon." He pulled me towards him and he kissed me on the cheek. Roxas somehow got down from his position on the 'ceiling' and sprinted toward Seifer. He grabbed the other blonde's head and smashed it to the floor, them both landing in such a way that Roxas was standing on top of Seifer, whose head was cracked open and blood was pouring out.

"Listen, Seifer, if you touch her again-" Roxas started, but didn't finish before Seifer blasted him with a beam of darkness. Seifer got up and pressed his fingertips to his forehead, looking at the blood that was now on his fingers.

"Tsk, tsk. Must we always be so violent, Roxas?" He sighed, and his wound healed. It sickened me how Seifer was playing 'the good guy' and how he always made Roxas seem like the 'bad guy' who always wanted to fight when the roles were really reversed. He got up and brushed some hair from his eyes.

"Only when you get close to Naminé." He replied. I was watching quietly, and I stepped back so I wouldn't get in their way. Roxas' Oblivion and Ultima appeared, but he was wielding them telekinetically and glided low to the floor, going so fast that I thought maybe the light he had power over gave him some of it's speed. He held out a hand as Oblivion and Oathkeeper slashed at Seifer's legs, hopefully knocking him down.

Seifer jumped up(so the keyblades sliced through air instead) and impaled the Hyperion into Roxas' back, pinning him to the floor. Roxas took out the gunblade and held it firmly, not skipping a beat. Now he was wielding two keyblades(telekinetically)and Seifer's gunblade.

"Well, Seifer, I guess your wish came true. Without a weapon, how are you going to cause any violence?" Roxas looked pretty confident. I hope he won, or at least didn't get fatally injured if he happened to lose.

"You can take my Hyperion, because you're gonna need it." Seifer then snapped his fingers and from the spots of black scattered between the green and white, crawled Heartless. Oceans and oceans of them, too. Soon, Roxas was surrounded. The Heartless didn't even attack him, they were just standing there. "I've commanded them to viciously rip you apart limb from limb if you make a single movement..."

Seifer walked over to me and casually draped an arm around my shoulder. "So, Naminé, now that the evil that has kept separating us for ages is held at bay, we can finally be together! I got you a little present..." He took out a black ring with white writing on it. "Why don't you wear it? I'm sure it'll look lovely on you..."

I blinked, looking at the ring. Wait, that seemed familiar. 'I'm going to place this ring on you and you'll be bound to me forever.' "NO!" I screamed, taking the ring and throwing it into the sea of Heartless. "No, no, NO! I REFUSE to spend the rest of my life with you! I hate you, Seifer! Why can't you understand that and leave me alone?!?" I balled my hand into a fist and with all the force I could possibly muster, hit him in the face. Obviously he wasn't prepared for me being so violent, so he stumbled back, clutching his face.

Then I looked back at Roxas, who was still frozen, but he was looking at us so I knew he saw and heard that little spat between us. I gulped, looking at Seifer and then back at Roxas. The only way to get to him was to go through all those Heartless...and surely, they would tear me apart. But...somewhere inside of me, I didn't really care. I wanted to get close to Roxas, and far, FAR away from Seifer. So, closing my eyes and placing my arms near my head, I ran.

Once I reached the Outer Rim of Heartless, they all shifted focus from Roxas to me. I knew so because I felt claws on my skin and they had tackled me to the ground, so I was no longer able to run. I still had my eyes closed, because I didn't have the guts to see my heart get taken. (After all, that was their purpose. They had tried to get my heart before so no doubt they would try to get it now)

"Naminé!" I heard both Roxas and Seifer shout. I opened an eye to see nothing but Heartless. It was like they were all dog-piled on me. I couldn't see Roxas, or Seifer...I wouldn't mind having some help from either blonde, because a couple of Heartless have taken the liberty to pinning down my arms so I wouldn't be able to summon the Storm Sword.

"Seifer, what the hell do you think you're doing? Call them off!" I heard Roxas yell. I'm sure they were both(or maybe just Roxas) busy trying to get the Heartless off of me.

"I-I can't! For some reason, they're beyond my control! There's an outside force interfering!" I heard Seifer yell back. But I couldn't concentrate on the rest of the voices I heard, because the Heartless were dangerously close to taking my heart. It was here that I struggled more than before. I summoned my Storm Sword, did anything that would prevent my heart from getting taken. But all my attempts were in vain. I felt a pull on my heart, then nothing more.

-

(Third Person POV)

All of a sudden, the Heartless just backed off. A portal of darkness(that Seifer had nothing to do with) appeared, and all the Heartless marched off into there. What was left...

"Hello, boys." In the place of their beloved Naminé, was this painfully pretty mixture of her and a Heartless. One eye was a golden yellow, representing the Heartless that had fused with her, and the other eye was her original ocean blue. Her once platinum blonde hair was now a midnight black. Her equally black nails were long and claw-like, and her teeth were oddly sharp, like that of a vampire's. Any trace of scratches or wounds have been lifted from her. Her plain sundress was replaced with a frilly gown donning the Heartless symbol on the front. The gown was oddly tight, now showing off voluptuous curves that had previously not been noticed before. Naminé's skin was an ivory white, and she looked anything but human. "Meet the new Princess of Darkness." She laughed, running a hand through her hair and then running it down the rest of her body seductively until it rested on her hip.

"What happened to Naminé?!?" Roxas asked, closing his previously gaping mouth. He was very close to just lashing out and striking her, but he caged his anger so he wouldn't hurt the real Naminé. However, Seifer took a completely different approach.

"Well hello, my dear Princess. I think I like this new you." Seifer said, walking up to her and the ring that he had tried to place on her before appeared in her hand. "Won't you be mine?" He asked, getting straight to the point and being rather direct. She smiled, placed the ring on, and threw her arms around his neck.

"Do you even need to ask? I'll always be yours..." She said in a deep, velvety voice. Naminé(or maybe not...) kissed him(okay...so definitely NOT Naminé), and they were locked in that position, only coming up for air. While Seifer and Naminé were being occupied with...each other...Roxas was pondering on alternate ways of getting the Heartless out of her.

After all, he could NOT bear to watch Naminé kissing that hell-spawn, so Roxas knelt down, let his arms hang at his sides, and faced the sky with closed eyes. He was in very deep thought, going through every bit of data within him, trying to piece anything together that might eradicate the demon possessing her. (Why was it that people kept on possessing Naminé? First Yunalesca, then his mom, then the darkness inside of her, then a Heartless...how long would it be before her sanity finally snapped?)

Then he finally came on it. The spell that Gippal had told him, that Roxas had fixed so it would work for those of Hell as well. He was positive that it would kill the demon within Naminé. Roxas knew he would have to do this quick, because he would definitely be able to get the demon out of Naminé while in Final Form, and his drive was slowly fading away...

"Naminé!" He called, needing to get her attention. They broke apart from their kiss('Thank Authority-sama', Roxas thought) and the ex-blonde walked up to him.

"You called?" She asked, placing a hand on her hip again. He also noticed that she had grown...taller. A lot taller. Whereas Roxas had been a head or two taller before, now Naminé was taller than him, which meant she was also taller than Seifer. (Because Seifer and Roxas are about the same height, but you couldn't really measure height with Roxas because of his hair) He grabbed onto her shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes. He concentrated on her golden eye, and placed his hand over that yellow eye. Then, Roxas focused all of his angelic power on that hand and it started to glow.

When she started to scream and dig her claw-like nails into his arm, he grabbed onto her shoulder with his other hand and held her there. Roxas knew that if he didn't do this now, while his power was tenfold, he could never make this work.

" Et alors nous disons, pour toujours et un jour, pour toujours et un jour, mais pour toi, mon chéri, finitions d'éternité. Mon chéri d'enfer ne saura pas le temps éternel du bonheur. Pour nous, la volonté du bout infini, pour toujours et un jour..." He chanted, and the scream got worse. It was so loud that Roxas had to keep thinking, 'Only for Naminé, only for Naminé, only for Naminé ...' so that he would not remove himself from the position they were in, but he had to stay like that because he knew it was working.

Her claw-like nails were becoming more human and feminine, the Heartless symbol was slowly fading, and her hair was turning blonde again. "What are you doing, Roxas? I like her this way!" Seifer yelled, running towards them. The Oblivion and Oathkeeper(they were still wielded telekinetically) prevented Seifer from stopping Roxas' exorcism. Number XIII(...he was the last one left...) felt so horrible that he was making her scream and cry, but it was beyond his control.

"Please stop, Roxas! Please...it hurts so much...please..." She begged, and Naminé finally looked normal.(the only exception was the gown) He took the hand away from her eye but there was still golden specks in it.

"I-I'm sorry." He mumbled, placing his hand back over her eye so he could finish up the process. Roxas needed to do it quick because he saw his cloak turning back into the normal black. Oblivion and Oathkeeper dropped to the floor, making a clang. They both disappeared. She started to shake violently and cry, but no screaming. Then, a Heartless separated from her body and scurried away(probably afraid of Roxas) and Naminé stared at him for a moment. He was about to ask her how she was feeling, but she fainted right into his arms.

"Why did you do that? She was fine the way she was!" Seifer yelled, stepping towards Roxas, whose grip tightened on the girl they were fighting over.

"No she wasn't! Her thoughts were clouded, her judgement was a little off! The REAL Naminé hates you! She'd never, EVER liplock with you unless her life depended on it! Even then she still might be a little hesitant so back off!" Roxas growled, and Seifer crossed his arms.

"You've had her for two years, where I have been silently watch her try to remember about you during that time: It made me sick! Then you appear in her life again...I won't let you hurt Naminé again! I let you have her, now it's my turn!" He replied, glaring at Roxas.

"Um no, I don't think so. In case you forgot, Seifer, she wants to be with me. If...if she truly wanted to live the rest of her life with you...I'd let her. Only if that made her happy. Because that is...all I wish for. Her happiness...even if I want to be the reason she smiles..." Roxas said softly, looking down at the ground.

"..." Seifer paused for a moment, as if he were actually considering Roxas' words. "Well, say goodbye to that fantasy." He took out a ring that matched the one he put on Naminé. "'Cause she's mine now." Seifer placed the ring on himself and held his hand out. "Empezar!" He shouted, and both rings began to glow. A shock ran through Roxas' body. It hurt to hold Naminé, and he didn't know why!

He automatically dropped her because the shocks began to fry his systems. Once Roxas dropped her, though, the shocks immediately stopped. "Why...?" He asked, almost breathless. "Why does it shock me when I touch her?"

"Because this little thing is why." Seifer held out the hand with the ring on it. "This binds us together forever. To keep either of us from having an affair, anybody of the opposite gender we touch will be electrocuted. It's like we're married to each other, and the only way the rings can come off is...well...I'm not going to tell you that."

Roxas' mouth dropped open. He could NOT believe this! "How..." He asked, looking at his own hands and clenching and unclenching his hands repeatedly. "How could this have happened?!? I-I don't understand...How did I let something like this happen? How could I have been so stupid? How could I not have realized there was some catch? HOW?!?" He yelled, angry at no one but himself. Seifer snickered and walked over to him and picked up Naminé.

"Well, well, well. Looks like the unbeatable angel finally lost." He sneered. Roxas clenched his fist. His eyes glinted a dark blue, but they reverted back to his normal eye color, and Seifer noticed this. That only deepened his laugh. "Ha! Go berserk on me! The little Princess will be so depressed when she finds out you unleashed your caged fury on me...whether she hates me or not, you know she'll be so scared of you when she realizes you beat me to death in your berserk state. So go ahead, hit me. Right here." Seifer tapped his cheek. Roxas gritted his teeth, knowing that the blonde was completely right.

Even though she had never said anything about it, Roxas knew that deep down, Naminé was afraid of him. If he had been demanding of her, she would do anything he asked--not because of love, but because of fear. Naminé knew that he wouldn't ask anything of her, and so if he suddenly started to command her to do things--she would probably become afraid and do his every whim in fear of him going berserk again.

"Dammit..."Roxas cried, completely hopeless. "Dammit...I...lost..."He choked, and fell on his knees. 'After all this time...I truly wasn't worthy of Naminé's love. I'm so sorry for wasting two years of your life...' Seifer left with the unconscious Naminé, and Roxas didn't even try to stop him. All the fight had been stripped of him. He couldn't even stop the tears from flowing... "God, I'm so pathetic..." He said, laughing at his own worthlessness.

Being here in Betwixt and Between all by himself really left Roxas to think on all his past actions. Finally, when the tears came to an end, he wondered what to do. Following them wasn't an option...unless he got some guidance first. "Guidance..."

For the first time in his entire life, Roxas clasped his hands together, shut his eyes, and prayed. 'C'mon, God, give me a little help! Send a sign, anything! PLEASE!' Nothing...silence. Just as Roxas was about to give up, he heard a voice.

"Never thought I'd see you praying."

Roxas' eyes snapped open at the voice. 'No...way...no. way. No, no, no.' He stood up and opened his eyes. He took a deep breath and looked behind him.

-

Seifer placed Naminé down on his bed in his room in his house in Hell. (Talk about Zoom!) She still had that stupid gown on that showed her natural curves that actually, neither he nor Roxas noticed. He forced himself not to be his normal perverted self and turned away, crossing his arms.

"So...you guys still there?" He seemed to ask to open air. Suddenly, the silver-haired triplets appeared.

"Oh yes, we're still here. You must follow your part of the deal." Kadaj said, and his brothers nodded. "We gave you the Rings of Binding, now you must give us the aid of your Heartless army."

"Of course." Seifer created a dark portal and then snapped his fingers. Heartless appeared from all over and began crawling into the portal. "That portal will lead you to him. Good luck. Considering Roxas, you're going to need it. Nice intervention, by the way, temporary controlling the Heartless so her personality would be shifted enough for me to place the ring on her. I didn't even know what was going on there for a minute."

The brothers three glared at him, but stalked off into the portal. Seifer smiled to himself as the last of the seemingly endless Heartless army disappeared into the portal, and the blonde closed it up. He took a glance at Naminé, then walked out of the room.

-

"Where'd they go?!? No! This is terrible! They're GONE! There's only three weeks and four days left! What if they don't get back in time? Where could they BE?" Kairi panicked, hyper-ventilating. She had just been going to check up on the two when Kairi found that they had vanished out of thin air!

"Calm down, Kairi." Yuna said, calming her 'daughter' down.(after all, Kairi had claimed that she legally changed her name from Umiri to Kairi. Her 'parents' saw no difference in the name or the meaning, so they let her do it) "What is this 'three-week' thing?"

"Um..." Kairi needed to think up of a lie, quick. She didn't want Yuna and Tidus to know about the whole 'reincarnation' fiasco, she didn't want to involve anyone she didn't have to. "T-The test! That's in the same amount of time! Roxas won't be able to flaunt what he's got at L.A.X!"

"We can always have it another day. We don't want to send Roxas out anyway. We kind of...need him, anyway. But I guess if he gets back from wherever he is, he can participate in the test. Not having him up-to-date is going to be a detriment in-" Tidus was cut off by Yuna elbowing him in the ribs. Kairi blinked. They were keeping something from them! The auburn-haired girl was sure of it.

"Waaaait a minute." Kairi tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Why would you need Roxas? The only thing he's good for is battle..." She crossed her arms and looked at them. "Something seems a little off here..." Yuna and Tidus gulped.

"You're not hiding something from all of us, are you?"

-

"Axel...Why are you here? Didn't Seifer trap you in the Eien no Tobira?" Roxas asked, turning around to face his red-headed best friend. He tried to contain that he was in pure shock. Axel's a tough guy and all, but no one could survive that ambush that Seifer had devised.

"You asked for guidance, didn't you? Well...God hates you, but he can't kill you off so instead of sending an angel down here that would lkill you anyway, he talked to the Eien no Tobira itself and it released me, since I am your best friend, after all." The pyro said, grinning.

"How is everyone? Are they doing all right? I wish you guys were still around." Roxas shrugged, as if he didn't know how to word his feelings, "Everything was so simple with the Organization watching my back. Even so, you were the only one who really knew how I felt."

"..." Axel pulled back a glove and looked at his left wrist. "Though I died...it's still there. I thought it would fade away. But I guess it'll always remind me of what I really am." Axel showed Roxas his barcode, and the blonde blinked.

"Not even in death will we be free." Roxas said, placing his hand over his right shoulder. "We will always be lethal weapons." The redhead placed his glove back on his hand.

"Quit it, Rox. You know I can't stand it when you get all philosophical like that. I thought you being around Princess Tsugare would change that, but I guess some things never change." Axel said, frowning. He looked to the left, and then to the right, and then his eyes narrowed as he looked over his shoulder. "We have guests." As soon as he finished that sentence was the moment the silver-haired trio appeared.

"Hmm? Who's this? Did Seifer provide us with another challenge?" Kadaj said, then turned to his brothers. "Brothers, I think this newcomer will spice up this little brawl."

"Someone who can challenge us? Interesting. I've never met anyone who could defeat us. But you are never wrong about these things, brother." Loz added, and then Yazoo looked at the Heartless that had accumulated.

"I shall call off the Heartless until we need them, brothers." Yazoo snapped his fingers and the Heartless stayed stationary.

"Hey Rox, looks like we're going to get a fight." Axel held out his hands and fire swirled around them, the fire forming his chakrams. Roxas got out the Oblivion and Ultima, and they both got themselves ready for battle.

"Looks like we are. This is going to be fun." He said, and wordlessly disengaged all his security locks and things that really did cut back on Roxas' true talent. Because if he really went all out, and I mean really, you'd be surprised at how many people he could take out.

I'm so happy! This little 'arc' is my favorite! I've been waiting since chapter six to write this part! (That's why my chapters are so rushed) Sorry this was so painstakingly boring. Next chapter will be real fun. xP 'Cuz Axel's back! -hug-

Axel: Get off of me! -comes back with the other KH cast((except for Xaldin)) and Reno who are all tanned, except for Riku-

HnH: -teary-eyed- THEY CAME BACK FOR ME!! -hugs everyone-

Riku: -screams when HnH hugs him- SUNBURN! AHHHHH! IT BURNS!

Reno: -watches Riku writhe in pain- Yeah, we went on vacation in Tarzan's world. Nice guy, that Tarzan.

Roxas: -still hates Reno- If you're wondering where Xaldin is, it turned out he can speak ape so he stayed. Let's all have a moment of silence for Xaldin...

Reno: -thinks- Wait, does that mean I have to be the Key of Destiny? That title sucks!

Roxas: -is steaming- HEY!!!

Naminé: -giggle fit- Does that mean Roxas is the Savage Nymph now?
