A/N: So, yes, this story is finally coming to a close. It's a lot shorter than the other one, I know, but the plot is thinning out, so I have no choice. xD This isn't doing as well as The Two-Sided Heart, but I can live with that. The original is always the best. ;D

Reixka: Hey!

Lolli: I... uhm... didn't mean that for you?

Reixka: -Sulks-

Stefa: -Sighs- Lolli does not own Kingdom Hearts or any of its respected characters... She is responsible for causing many emotional breakdowns, though.

Reixka: -Sobs-

Also, whoever can figure out the sexual innuendo (knowing me, there might be more than one, but there is one main one that I know of) gets not one, but three cookies:

So Reixka wanted to become whole? Or maybe she was hoping that Stefa would lose to her. Either way, Stefa's other had had a change of heart. Things had obviously changed; Reixka had walked away from the Organization. That took some guts. Stefa nodded her head and smiled softly. "Then, let's settle this." Instantly, they both set off. Both girls felt alive, for once. They had to be equally matched, right? They were the same. Not exactly. They had technically come from different places and had learned from different people.

Stefa rushed forward, jumped, and swung down at her Nobody. Reixka had predicted something like this from her other, and swiftly moved to the side. "Remind me why we're fighting on a pier again." Stefa pointed out when she had to quickly revert from putting a hole in the pier's flooring.

"It's our favorite place to be." Reixka reminded her as she charged in for an attack. Too easy. Stefa side-stepped and slashed at her other's side. Finally. It tore through the cloth of Reixka's t-shirt and caused blood to start oozing from a small cut.

"I thought you were more of my dark side's nobody." Stefa teased, smiling, and dodging Reixka's retaliating slash. Why was this so fun?

"At the time, I guess I was. I was so filled with hate and malice because I realized that I wanted to be whole. It was great to have a heart, and afterward, I felt so empty. I hated it." Reixka shook her head as she disappeared in a flurry of cherry blossoms, reappeared behind Stefa, and swung at her back, knocking her Somebody into the railing. "I thought that Xemnas would somehow help me get a heart of my own, but didn't after you gave him one. And after you killed Larxene, I figured out that Xemnas doesn't care about the Organization at all." She paused for a minute, doing a back handspring to avoid Stefa's wild attack. "Well, alright, maybe Saïx."

Stefa wished that she could disappear in a flurry of cherry blossoms; That would be so cool. "You definitely picked that move up from Marluxia." She pointed out as she rolled to the side, rolled again, and swung at Reixka's legs. Reixka moved one leg, but not the other, so she slipped and fell onto one knee. Stefa pointed Shadow Heart at her neck. Reixka nodded.

"I did." She answered. "Xemnas wants the Organization to perish so that he won't have to worry about a retaliation or their want for hearts. I guess that's why he let all of them that had been at Castle Oblivion back in. That and he needed power. Now he has it." Reixka said, continuing her story. Stefa chewed on this for a minute.

"Yet the rest of the Organization is still there? Even Marluxia? That, more than anything, is a shocker..." muttered Stefa, paying pretty much no attention to the fight, and getting knocked off of the pier, only to fall to the sandy beach below.

"I want my best friend back." Nalani growled, hitting Xaldin, not with magic, but with her staff. She hit him in the head several times with the staff, giving Quince and Ceron a good opening to attack him. Quince swung Maybe Memories at Xaldin at the same time as Ceron swung his long-sword at him; The attacks took him by surprise and caused him to topple over the top of the mountain.

"Your best friend is probably with her Nobody by now." Xaldin snorted as his lances surrounded him, causing him to fly back to the top of the mountain. "Well, she's probably been killed by her Nobody by now; That Number XIV is very sadistic. Must take after Larxene." Nalani's hands turned into fists even as one of the lances flew at her. Ceron tackled her to the ground, causing them both to slide to the base of the mountain.

Ceron tapped her forehead with his finger. "Think next time, Hula-girl." He said, smiling just a little as he got off of her and held out a hand. "Everything good?" She nodded and took his hand.

"I'm not dead, if that's what you mean." She muttered.

"Cheer up," He said in an oddly optimistic tone before he skillfully ran up the side of the wood-chip mountain.

"Sure, now he has no problem getting up the mountain." Nalani muttered under her breath as she cast Graviga randomly, surprisingly causing Xaldin to fall onto the pavement a few inches away from the base of the mountain.

"I'm starting to think that there really is no one here." Sora stated. He, Kairi, and Riku were sitting at their familiar places on the palm tree on the little island.

"Then we have to find a way out." Kairi pointed out, as she jumped off of the spot where she was sitting to the right of Sora. Even when she jumped off, he couldn't help but expect her to fade away. Riku jumped off, sitting to the left of Sora, and he also expected the silver-haired boy to disappeared. "Sora? C'mon, let's go." The Princess said, trying to snap her boyfriend out of it. Sora shook his spiky-haired head and nodded.

"Right." He agreed, finally jumping off of the tree, and half-expecting himself to fade away. They were half-way across the bridge when someone else spoke.

"A way out? Why would you want a way out?" The voice of a man said from behind them, along with the sound of cards shuffling. Luxord's familiar form was standing on the island, calmly playing with his cards.

"What are you doing here?" Riku snarled as Way to Dawn appeared in a flurry of light.

"Me? I just wanted to know if the three of you were up to a friendly game of poker." The blond man feigned innocently.

"What did you do with everyone else?" Sora demanded as he rushed forward with Fenrir. To absolutely no one's surprise, Luxord disappeared. "I hate it when they do that."

"If you really want to know, then why don't you come down here and fight me?" Luxord's voice called from the beach.

"Gladly." Riku murmured as he jumped off of the bridge and kicked up sand in his rush to get to the Gambler of Fate.

Block, block, block. Reixka was very relentless in her attacks. Stefa rolled to dodge another blow and found herself standing knee-deep in the ocean when she stood up. Spitting out the salty water, she looked around for her other. When Reixka popped up behind her, she was ready. Stefa brought her arm back and hit Reixka in the stomach with the hilt of Shadow Heart. Surprised and slightly paralyzed, Reixka coughed and doubled over.

This was her chance.

Stefa turned around quickly, slashing into Reixka's side with Shadow Heart. The Nobody fell into the water, covered up to her waist with it. Stefa held out her Keyblade and closed her eyes. 'Anyone can use their light, it's just a matter of trusting it.' Tifa had told her not so long ago. "Light." muttered Stefa, concentrating with all that she had. A beam of white light shot out from the tip of Shadow Heart and shot into Reixka's chest, where her heart should have been.

Reixka's cherry blossom Keyblade disappeared in a flurry of light as she got a look at herself; She was transparent. The Nobody sighed, but smirked, in defeat as her other opened her eyes. "Wow, it really worked?" Stefa asked with amazement. "Nice." Reixka got to her feet and stared at her other square in the eye.

"You've finally won," said the Nobody with a small nod, "It's about time." Both of them exchanged small smiles. "You were just lucky, though. I'd say that I could beat you next time if there was going to be a next time." Reixka held out her right hand and smiled pleasantly. "Let's go take down the rest of the Organization!" Stefa laughed at the pleasant matter in which her Nobody was speaking as she held out her own hand.

Reixka's body disappeared in the same pink light that Stefa's body was being engulfed in, and just like that, the Nobody had disappeared from view. 'I'm still here.' Reixka told her.

"How do we get out?" Stefa asked out loud as she rubbed the back of her head.

'Which way would you use to get out, but never anyone else?' Reixka asked in a riddle-like manner. Stefa frowned at this.

"Don't get all complicated on me." She murmured as she stared out at the ocean.

'Fine, just think about your friends and the exit will become clear to you.' Stefa nodded at this and closed her eyes, thinking about the others. When she opened her eyes again, a bright light was emitting in the distance over the ocean. With newfound confidence, Stefa ran through the ocean, and then began to swim as she got farther out. When she looked back once, she saw a faint form of a small girl chasing after an older looking back. She sighed with satisfaction at the memory before she entered the light.

"We really killed him." Quince was smirking at this statement. Oh, how long he had wanted to kill Xaldin... Maybe Memories disappeared in a flash of golden light. Xaldin's neck had obviously broken, leaving him no way to curse the three teenagers into oblivion.

"That's actually pretty sickening." Nalani murmured, referring to the way that the Lance Wielder's head was bent. As if she had spoken some magic word, Xaldin's body disappeared into darkness. EaKaze disappeared in a shimmer of light as the Mage looked around.

"How do we get out of here?" Ceron asked Quince, speaking Nalani's thoughts. Said boy rubbed the back of his head.

"Uh..." A light began to emit from behind them, in one part of the mountain. The three of them exchanged looks, but said no words as they scurried forward and entered the light.

As it turned out, it was a lot easier to defeat Luxord when it was three on one. Even if Sora got turned into a card or a die, Kairi or Riku would attack the Gambler in his distraction. "It's too bad you weren't taught to fight better." said Kairi as she delivered another blow with Angelic Destiny. Luxord was knocked onto all fours into the ocean.

Sora pointed Fenrir at the Organization Member. "You're not going to win." He stated, "So you might as well give up." Luxord snapped and summoned several Nobodies. "Hey!" The chocolate-haired Keyblade wielder shouted, trying to get past a Berserker as Luxord summoned a portal.

"You shouldn't have given him a lecture." Riku stated as he skillfully defeated a Berserker with several strikes of Way to Dawn. Kairi was knocked onto the beach by a Dusk. She rubbed the back of her head.

"Now what?" She called to the two boys. Standing back to back, Riku and Sora defeated two samurai Nobodies.

"Let's get out of here." Sora sighed as Fenrir disappeared from his hand. Kairi got to her feet and made her way to them.

"But how-?" Kairi's last word turned into a scream as the sand below them broke apart, sending them falling into the darkness below.

Stefa, Nalani, Quince, and Ceron relayed their stories to Roxas, Naminé, and Axel, who had been waiting for a painstakingly long time on the mud trail. Nalani glanced around the area, which was surprisingly bright. The trail they were sitting on seemed to stretch for miles. "So, where are we exactly?"

"Near Castle Oblivion," answered Axel and Naminé at the same time as Reixka in Stefa's head.

Stefa started a little before sighing. "I'll never be lonely again." Reixka laughed, and she distantly wondered if she would begin to fear for her own sanity after a while.

"You'll get used to it," assured Roxas. "But you can't really hear Reixka's thoughts, even though-""

"She can hear all of my personal thoughts?" guessed Stefa as Roxas nodded. "Well, that sucks." The sky began to get uncharacteristically bright as three shapes that looked much like falling stars hurled toward the ground.

Quince jumped up as Maybe Memories flashed into his hand. "Huh?" He needn't have wasted his breath, for Kairi, Riku, and Sora hit the ground right before them. Axel held out a hand to help out Kairi, leaving the boys to help themselves.

Ceron rested his arms behind his head and raised an eyebrow. "Took you guys long enough."

"Luxord got away," grumbled Sora.

Nalani, however, beamed. "We took care of Xaldin," she told them in a chipper voice as she gestured to herself, Ceron and Quince.

"Reixka and I came to an agreement," announced Stefa just as pleasantly.

In a bored undertone, Roxas said, "We've just been waiting." No one seemed to pay much attention to him as they looked toward the distance.

"How far is it exactly?" Kairi asked although her tone suggested she didn't really want to know.

"Pretty far," admitted Sora as he rubbed the back of his head. "Goofy, Donald, and I started toward there when it was daytime and didn't get there until the night."

"But that was with Marluxia's 'help'." Naminé reminded him. "I don't think we can get in unless they want us in, and I don't really think Axel and I could smuggle our way in even if we use portals... It might have changed." Just then, the transparent Reixka appeared out of Stefa, causing her somebody to nearly jump out of her skin. She summoned a portal before turning to smile at the others.

"I owed you one, right?" The Nobody asked as Stefa, Nalani, and Riku stepped forward.

Nalani sighed. "I guess I'll never get the chance to beat you into the ground. What a shame."

Riku nodded at her. "Thanks."

"Sure." Axel, Sora, Ceron, and Quince disappeared through the portal first. Naminé, Kairi, and Roxas followed right after, leaving Stefa, Nalani, Riku, and Reixka. Stefa held out her hand and Reixka gladly grasped it. "Don't worry, I'll help you guys," she assured them before disappearing within Stefa again.

Stefa smiled at Riku and Nalani with determination. "Let's go." They took the portal at a run, entering just as it disappeared.

XxX

"This place needs some color," were Nalani's first words when they appeared inside of Castle Oblivion. The entire castle was coated in white and looked like a sterile hospital. Or mental ward.

'Most of the bedrooms aren't white. Oh, I had Axel's,' noted Reixka in an offhanded manner, and Stefa laughed; she imagined the room suited Reixka perfectly.

"Which Organization Members are still standing?" asked Axel as he gazed around at the old surroundings. Nothing appeared to have changed.

Sora began to count on his hands. "Xemnas, of course. Probably Xigbar, Saïx, Marluxia, and Luxord."

Roxas groaned, "That's still a lot."

Without hesitation, Quince declared, "We should split up."

"But no one really knows how to get around here," mumbled Kairi, though no one appeared to have heard her.

"Alright, Roxas and Stefa can take one of the higher floors..." Sora started, but was stopped by Naminé.

"Did you already forget...? Oh, that's right, you can't really remember..." She corrected herself. "Anyway, the higher you go in Castle Oblivion, the more you forget."

"We'll have to take our chances," decided Sora.

Stefa stared at him, horrified. "You're crazy."

"There's no way to get around it."

"I have an idea." Naminé's words promptly stopped the inevitable fight between the two. "We should probably stick around with those that are highest in our hearts."

Stefa chewed on her lip. "Then I have to take Riku, Quince, and Nalani... which means I have to take Ceron by default... And then if I take Riku, Sora and Kairi will come which means that Roxas, Axel, and Nami-" She was caught off by Axel.

"Let's make this easier. Kairi and Sora are one. Ceron and Nalani are another. Roxas and I will the third, Naminé and Riku the fourth, and, finally, Stefa and Quince. Memorize it." The group became silent as they considered.

"It works," agreed Quince who was clearly pleased to be with Stefa.

"We can check out their new meeting room." Reixka's voice sounded once again as she separated from her somebody and called upon a new portal. "Since I know where it is."

"Naminé and I can check the lowest floor of the basement." Riku offered.

"And we'll just split off from there." Roxas stated. "Works for me."

"Try to be careful; Don't let them mess with everything that you already know." Axel said in a serious tone. "Without Naminé, maybe memories can't be affected anymore..."

"We'd better hope." Quince stated before he walked into the portal. Stefa and Reixka were quick to follow.

"They probably don't have cards for Sora's memories, but just in case... Try to stay away from the world doors." Naminé told the others when the other three had left.

"How do we get around?" Kairi asked her other. Axel jabbed his thumb at a small black teleporter/portal thing.

"It's that easy." He said smugly.

A/N: Sorry about this being so short, buuut... I had to get it up eventually. xD Anyway, I now officially have to wait to write the first chapter to the sequel until I am done with this because I have totally changed my mind about how this story is going to end... By the way, you should be very afraid. xD

Naminé
