This will come to a surprise, but this chapter is different because I'm doing a doubletake in this, which means I'm doing two different days for two diary entries!


Day 168

After learning the secret of my bracers, which can copy weapons and skills, I've been handed out with tougher missions than I did BEFORE I knew their powers.
Today I just came back from a two day mission, which was both tiring AND exhausted! I mean, everytime I come back since my recognition of my bracers, what I wanted to do after each mission was to rest up for the next mission!
After everything I've done, I'm beginning to suspect that Xemnas is up to something, but I don't know what, though.

Yexum's all prepared to take on her next mission that Saïx gave out, when Roxas showed up in her room. "Ever heard of knocking," she reminded teasingly to her boyfriend, "or privacy, Roxas?!"

"Sorry!" he said. "Listen, Yexum. I think Saïx and Xemnas are onto something! Where are you going today?"

"Neverland."

"Just be careful where you fly, alright? Something's up, I just know it! You always come back weak and tired ever since you knew the powers of your bracers, which was two days ago."

"Roxas, chill!" Yexum smiled reassuringly. "I'll know when I sensed it! I'll be safe!" She summoned her bracers to show Roxas that she'll be fine.

"Alright," he said, "I just don't want to lose you, that's all! Here, take this!" Roxas handed her a box. "Only open this in an emergency! Got it?"

"Don't worry, Roxas! I got it memorized." They laugh, like it was a joke when she said Axel's catch phrase. Then she lightly punched Roxas' arm with her bracers to obtain the powers of the Keyblade!

When Yexum got to Neverland, she saw the same fairy that helped her take out the Phantom Tail when she first arrived."Oh! Hello, again." She greeted the fairy. "Thanks for your help earlier!"

The fairy nodded as if to to say, "You're welcome!"

"Did you see," Yexum asked, "any Heartless that I'm after?" The fairy pointed to a pirate ship that she didn't noticed when she was first here.

Strange, she thought, I didn't see that ship earlier. Something new, I guess?

"Thanks!" Yexum said and started to fly towards the ship. Only she never got far, because she got caught in a net that came from absolutely nowhere. "HEY!" She cried out. "WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHAT'S THIS NET FOR?"

She heard some kind of pirate laugh. "At long last!" A voice said behind her. "I have finally caught you, girly!" She tried to face towards the voice, but the net prevented her from doing so.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" The voice moved around the net so Yexum could see him better and she gasped! She saw what looks like a pirate captain, but his left hand was a hook instead of a regular hand.

"YOU!" She shouted at him. "You trapped me in this net, didn't you?!"

"Name's Hook!" he said, tipping his hat. "Captain Hook, if you will."

"Never!" she cried out. "Now," she said calmer, "is there any Heartless nearby?"

"Heartless?!" Hook exclaimed and laughed again. "There's no Heartless here! If you think there were, you've been walking into a trap this whole time! I was warned that if someone wearing black flies around, I'm supposed to take them out with whatever means necessary! Whoever you are, you're toast! And I mean dead, not bread! Smee!"

"Yes, Captain?" Another voice said from behind her.

"Help me carry her to our ship!" Hook ordered. "She'll be useful for something I've been working on!"

"Yes, Captain!"

While Captain Hook and his pirate mate, Smee, were dragging Yexum to their ship in Neverland, while in the woods at Twilight Town, a mouse in a black coat sees a person also in a black coat. The mouse got suspicious, but the person's hood went down, revealing the Controller of Heartless, Ansem.

The mouse jumped back and summoned a Keyblade! But the man pulled out a blindfold and put it over his eyes, changing his looks to a silver haired man that the mouse knows too well and slowly approached him. "Your Majesty," He addressed him.

"Gosh," The mouse said, "I've been worried about you! Where have you been all this time?!"

"Searching for a way to conquer the darkness within me before Yume can awaken!" The man explained.

"Gosh!" The King said, "But for a minute there, you looked just like, uh, well, you know…"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've been having better control of it over time."

"That's good. But what about Yume? You told me that she hasn't awoken yet. What happened? I hoped nothing went wrong."

"The Organization has been quiet since the battle at Castle Oblivion for a reason, Your Majesty, but not because we are weak in numbers! That moment with Yume, they didn't just make her memories fall apart. They're also making it very difficult to put it all back together, even if they have to use everything they've got."

"Guess that makes sense and explains things," The King said sadly. "It almost sounds like they are trying to buy some time."

"Precisely," he said presumptuously. "They want her memories, but Naminé isn't the only one collecting them!" The King looked up and gasped! "As long as they have the memories of Nini, her most precious ones, then Yume may never recover!"

"Well then," The King exclaimed, "let me help as well! Maybe I can help bring them back as well, Riku!"

"I've got that covered," Riku said, "Your Maj- I mean, Mickey. But do me a favor, won't you?" He nodded. "I'll have to face two of the Organization's members! One is the Nobody of Sora, Roxas. But the other, I'm still trying to find her, but I have my suspicions on who. There is also a chance I may not survive it, either! But if I do, then the darkness became stronger than me and I gave into it. Which makes you the only one to be there for Yume, Donald, and Goofy when they have been awakened!"

"Don't say that, Riku!" Mickey implied.

"Promise me, Mickey!" Riku countered. "You have to be there for our friends." Mickey takes some time to consider the matter. When he answered, he smiled while responding. "I promise, Riku."


Day 173

After pondering over what Captain Hook told me, I realized in fear that it really IS a trap after all! Separating me from Roxas, and possibly my life!
If somebody finds this, please avenge me by freeing Kingdom Hearts and freeing all hearts I captured! I hope I can make it out safely!
Also, I've been feeling hungry since I've been captured, but getting my needs in water. I feel weak with hunger, but I feel like I might fail them after all.

Yexum slowly got up due to her hunger slowing her down and, after moment for her eyes to adjust, saw Hook by her cell door, smirking at her!

"Well now," he said. "You ready to take on something bigger than what you'd least expect?" She couldn't respond due to her hunger and just nodded weakly. "Good! You have two minutes for preparations!" He left her.

How, she thought weakly, am I ever going to continue on in this condition? Then she remembered five days ago when Roxas presented her something.

"Here, take this!" Roxas handed her a box. "Only open this in an emergency, got it?"

She found out that Hook never took the opportunity to search, because he thought it'll be easy to destroy by weakening her. She looked in her coat and found the box undamaged. She opened it, and the first thing she noticed was that it smelled cookies inside.

She took one out, then nibbled it. How would he know without me telling him?! She thought. Double-chocolate has always been my favorite! She made sure to eat the cookies slow without giving in to her hunger, but still wanted to empty it before Hook showed up!

She was able to hide the empty box with time to pretend to be weak with hunger after satisfying it. He'll know the hard that friends are closer when least expected!

Finally, Hook showed up, but without the intentions that Yexum was pretending to be weak. "GET UP!" He shouted, and she slightly jumped. "You're called out now!"

He opened the cage and forcibly picked her up to drag her outside Hook's ship, where a Heartless was waiting. "Your challenge is here and now! Ready?"

"Can I eat first?"

"NO! Good luck." He said before pushing her off the edge of the ship, expecting her to hit the waters but, because of her plan and according to her hunger state she was in, she knows that she was supposed to be above the waters to work.

She summoned her weapon, the Keyblade, and slowly approached the Heartless. The Heartless had a treasure chest in its mouth. The Heartless also consisted of a four piece tail made of skulls, and a red spot on the chest with four swords on each side that would act as guided wings!

Ruler Of The Skies! Yexum thought. Hope I can beat this Heartless. She approached the Heartless, knowing that she can make this happen for victory.

After about ten minutes of fighting Ruler Of The Skies, Yexum is still alive and fighting, and the Heartless has yet to hit her. "Smee," Hook said surprisingly, "I'm not sure what's happening. Why is that girl not dead yet?"

"I'm not sure, but-" Smee took a closer look at the battle. "Captain, LOOK!" Hook did, and saw that Yexum was looking better and was doing better than how he saw her at first, weak with hunger.

"How does that girl do that?!" Yexum heard him because she turned to him and shouted back, "This is the consequence for not knowing that friends could help others at unexpected times!"

Her true battle against the Heartless was when she did her best, and eventually won as the Heartless flew around uncontrollably and landed on Hook's ship, destroying one mast and knocking another down. And then a heart started floating upwards.

"M-Me ship!" Hook shouted out. "Why, it's in tatters!"

"Aw, cheer up, Captain!" Smee reassured. "Our luck will turn around and have it running in no time!"

Both of them were so preoccupied about fixing the ship that they didn't see Yexum leave whil the fairy laughed!

With Yexum back at the clock tower in Twilight Town, she made a mental note to thank Roxas for the cookies at the time her right hand started shaking because the Organization imposter is close by.

Yexum noticed her hand shaking and turn around, seeing the imposter. She instantly threw the empty stick, got up, and summoned her bracers, ready for a fight!

The imposter saw the bracers in her hands and came to conclusion who this girl might be. "Alright," he said. "You made your point! I have to tell you something."

Yexum slowly put her hands down, still not trusting the imposter. "What do you want, imposter? Xion told me all about you!"

"That's what I'm trying to say!" He countered. "Listen, during three days, I need you to avoid the Organization while you practice your skills with your bracers better."

"Why would I? So you can watch me in secret and find a weakness within me?"

"No, nothing like that." He said. "In three days, Roxas will suffer heavy wounds in a battle!" Yexum gasped. "But I want you to stay away from the Organization and tell no one, while you train for a battle on your own!"

"Name the place and time. I'll be there as quickly as possible!"

"In three days," he explained, "head to Memory's Skyscraper where your challenger awaits you. His time will be unexpected, so be there when you can in three days. Again, tell no one where you are going, or you will be followed!"

She looked at him, but can't tell if he's either telling a truth. Or a lie. Either way, she had to trust him. "I'm spending one more day, and then I'll leave!"

"Your opponent will wait for you then when you are ready!" The imposter said as he left in a dark corridor. He certainly, Yexum thought as he left, doesn't sound like one of the Organization. Better get to training!
