I suddenly remember. When Xemnas took me from Axel's arms, I woke up on one of the chairs in Where Nothing Gathers. This boggled me since I didn't have one. It seemed to be Roxas' chair though by it's placement in the room. "Are you sure you want to make her into a vessel? If she gets defeated, it wouldn't be very useful in the Keyblade War." My vision was still a little bit hazy, but I could see Xemnas talking to an old man with powerful yellow eyes.

"Yes. It'll be one of the thirteen Seekers of Darkness."

"Vessel? Keyblade War? Seekers of Darkness?" I questioned, not being able to be heard. I closed my eyes, for it hurt too much to keep them opened. Without knowing so, I felt asleep on the chair. The events that transpired after that remain a mystery to me.

All I know is that it had to be something horrible.

"Xion..." Ven says, his voice wondering off. "Xion, that's the color of darkness."

"I'm a vessel? What in the worlds is a vessel? If he meant what I think, then...no. What exactly was the true purpose of the replica program?" I pace back and forth. Vessel, the body is a vessel, so that man could have been trying to possess me. But, why me? Is it because I'm a replica?

"Calm down, you're only going to get yourself stressed by doing this. Just take a deep breath."

"That's weird. I'm usually the one that tells you that," I respond. "You're right though. I guess I had an anxiety attack or something like that. Ha ha...today has been a hectic one to say the least." After that, I walk over to Roxas and place his body against the legs of the dock. "That will be much more comfortable."

"Xion, what should we do? Both of us are being inflicted with darkness, and I don't want Sora to be hurt because of it." Then the two of us look over at Roxas. He seems to be knocked out cold still, but his little snores are quite cute. They are like a kitten's. "Plus, we've to explain to Roxas what's going on here."

"Well, that will be an interesting conversation. But, Ventus, promise me you won't talk to him about our past together, or this would be harder than it already is. It's a miracle he somehow knows my name," I request. The look of worry is in Ventus' eyes. His eyes meet the sand, and then they stare at my face again.

"We should be careful for now on." When he finishes his words, Roxas' eyes open. It's a little bit weird to be in the room of two people who have the same appearance, but I can deal with it.

"Looks like sleeping beauty finally decided to open up her eyes," I laugh. "So, Roxas, can you hear me?"

"Xion...yes." Once again, Roxas saying my name brings happiness to my soul. "Tell me everything. I want to know the truth."

"Wanting to know the truth as always. Roxas this is inside Sora's heart, and this is basically a safe haven or after life. You already know our names, Ventus and Xion. The thing with Ventus is his dark self, Vanitas, is trying to invade his soul and take complete control of his body. Do you understand what I just told you?" explains I. Roxas nods his head. It is a slight movement though. "You've to help us protect ourselves and Sora from the threat of darkness. If you don't, then there would be even more problems in our hands."

"So, you're going to be stuck here with us for a while. I hope we can be friends," Ven adds-on. "We're kinda all alone here on this little island." There's a shake in the ground. The power of it knocks Ventus and I on the ground, and I try to get up. Roxas just fell over on his side.

"When isn't there any drama here?"

"I don't know," answers Ventus. "Even when I was alone, things like this happened." I stare up to the sky to see I'm somewhere else. Axel is here too, but he's on the ground, covered in flames.

"Axel...no! What happened?" He can't hear me. My friend's chest, where his heart should be, is on fire, and darkness surrounds his corpse.

"Kairi's in the castle dungeon. Now go!" Axel makes a dark corridor, but then he vanishes. There's no trace of him left afterwards.

"No!" I feel the power of darkness seeping into my fake heart. "I won't let him go!"
