You were running towards memory's skyscraper hoping Roxas was ok. why is he acting so strange you wonder. you finally reach it, you look and see Roxas on the ground, Riku standing over him. you were about to run out to him but something jumped on you making you fall. you look to see some heartless gathering around you. you quickly jump up and take out your fans, slicing through them, you look over and see Roxas get up, grab his oblivion keyblade out of the ground and swing it at Riku. they fight for a bit before they stop and start to talk. you decide to listen. "Quit fooling around" Roxas yells. "whats wrong Sora? are you done already?...pretty pathetic" Riku taunts. "what are you talking about, your the one thats loosing!" Roxas yells, quickly putting his hand to his mouth because he hadn't denied he was Sora.
"you really are his nobody...i guess ill have to trust DIZ." Riku says. "why do you keep talking about him!? I'm myself, IM ME!" Roxas yells. he takes out Oathkeeper and attacks Riku making him fall to one knee. "you can't beat me no matter how hard you try!" Roxas says angrily. "guess so" Riku weakly responds while still on his knee holding his side. "looks like ill have to do it" he seems to say to no one in general. "do what" Roxas asks "the power in my heart, the power suppressed by my heart, if i were to be someone else..." he says softly yet meaningfully while taking off his blindfold. he throws back his arms and somewhat screams as darkness surrounds him. you gasp and start running towards Roxas. the darkness vanishes and Riku has been transformed into his 'Ansem' form. Roxas looks astonished as Riku quickly moves in front of him ready to attack, Roxas hears your footsteps and looks over as you shove him out of the way.
Pain engulfs your body as you feel your self being squeezed by Riku's helper heartless. Roxas looks up and tries to analyze what he is seeing. "Lillux?" he mutters to himself. Riku looks at you, seeing you weren't Roxas he throws you off to the side like a rag doll turning his attention back to Roxas. "Lillux!" Roxas yells as he runs over to your side. you were barely awake. Roxas' face turns furious as he stands up fully and leaps at Riku with a merciless attack. you start to wake up again as your blood goes back to where it's suppose to be. you sit up and see Roxas fighting Riku. "Roxas" you yell. he looks over at you. "look out" you yell as Riku's heartless grabs Roxas and begins to crush him. you glare at Riku as you bring out your fans, they begin to glow with darkness. you violently throw one at the heartless cutting off its arms, and catching the fan as it comes back around. Roxas falls to the ground. Riku glares at you before going to attack Roxas again. "leave him alone" you yell as you run over and jump on Roxas, using yourself as a shield.
you were holding him in a hug position with one leg on each side of him waiting for pain. but none came. you turn and look at Riku, he's giving you a questioning look. "you can't have him!" you yell. you stand up and hook your fan together with the chains and start to swing them at Riku. only hitting him a few times you quickly take them apart so you have one fan in each hand. you swing a few times so he's far away from Roxas. you stop and take a couple deep breaths. "you can't have him either, besides, all you want him for is so you can have a heart" Riku says. you look at him with a smirk. "so you think that's the reason, huh?" you ask knowing you already have a heart. you use your fans to blow yourself quickly back towards Roxas blowing Riku further back in the process. you use all your strength to lift Roxas up and open a portal, you bring him through and examine where you are, you didn't know where you were going, you just opened a portal to go anywhere to get away.
you're on one of the highest towers closest to kingdom hearts. you put Roxas down and stare up at it. suddenly you feel angry. it isn't fair. "Kingdom Hearts!" you scream at it. "kingdom he-" you begin again but are interrupted. "what" you hear a monotone voice ask. you look around to see who's talking. "who's there" you say coldly. " all of us as one, kingdom hearts." you notice Riku has appeared behind you but you keep listening to the voice, Riku seems to of heard it and is looking up at Kingdom hearts. "Kingdom hearts?" you ask with a confused voice. "yes" it says starting to glow slightly. "what do you want?" it asks "you can talk?" you ask it. " yes, but only to people like you." it responds. "why?" you ask softly. "because you are the darkness, we are free in darkness, when hearts are in light they are held captive, we prefer a balance to keep things peaceful, to much darkness and you become lazy and greedy, to much light and you become over organized and obsessive, we must obey both to keep that balance". "oook..." you simply state still kinda confused. "why were you yelling for me?" it asks. "I want Roxas and Sora to have their own hearts" you half yell sadly. "are you sure?" it asks. "Yes, can you do it?" you ask getting hopeful.
"Yes but you must give up your heart to do it." you pause, "my, heart?" you mutter to yourself as you feel you heartbeat with your hand. you look back at Roxas laying on the ground, then you look at Riku, who is staring at you in disbelief. you smile at him and turn back to Kingdom hearts. "are you willing to make that sacrifice?" it asks you. Roxas' eyes start to open and he sits up looking over at you."Lillux?" he mumbles standing up. "YES" you say Kingdom hearts starts to glow more. "for you, Roxas... you say in a soft voice not knowing he was up and listening to you. standing still with your arms at your side you wait for something to happen, bracing yourself. A glowing pink/red beam flashes out of kingdom hearts and pierces into your chest making you fall backwards. "Lillux!" you hear Roxas yell as he runs over to you and gets on his hands and knees by you to see what had happened. you look over at him and smile, a cold feeling spreads through your body making you flinch, a heart starts to float out of your chest. it breaks in two.
half of a heart come out of Roxas and he watches in amazement. the two pieces come together and light up forming a new heart. the other half of your heart floats up and away. the complete heart goes back into Roxas' chest and he takes a deep breath before looking back to you. you were still smiling. Roxas looks sad. "I'm sorry" he says. "for what?" you ask "for thinking you would betray me..." he mumbles to you. "don't apologize" you say softly while putting a hand on his cheek. "why did you give up your heart?" he asks in a shaky voice. the ground around you starts to darken. "well.."you say as it starts to overtake you. "i guess you could say, ... i love you..." Roxas' eyes widen. "Lillux," Roxas says in a now serious tone. "I'll find you" he says as the last of the darkness you were surrounded in vanishes.
Riku walks up behind Roxas. "where did the other half of her, heart go? he asks him. "to Sora..." Roxas says as he looks up at the sky, slightly smiling a sad, yet hopeful smile. "you know, you still have to come with me.." Riku tells him. "I wasn't going to go with you in the first place!" Roxas says as he quickly backs away in a fighting stance bringing out his keyblades. "you may have a heart, but if Sora doesn't have his for some reason..." Riku says trailing off. they fight for a bit but Riku catches Roxas off Guard and uses his squish move making Roxas pass out. He takes him into a portal...
