Jason's Epilogue: Momentary Silence

"He... went to see his other self," I said to myself, gathering Oryx's divine armor. I held it together with a string, and, with all of my strength, dragged it to the other side of the bridge. I then beamed up to my ship, carrying the heavy armor on my back, and zoomed over to the Radiant Garden, where I'd asked everyone to meet in the computer room.

I beamed down at the postern, then dragged the heavy armor to the computer room. It was ridiculously heavy... I didn't even know how Oryx had managed to move so fast while wearing it.

I dragged the armor behind me, much to everyone's surprise.

"Hey, isn't that..." Riku began.

"The Black Knight's armor?" I finished. "Yeah. I beat him... but he ran away."

"So... what's with the armor?" Sora asked.

"It's my loot," I said. "I'd wear it, but it's awfully heavy... so, I'll just hold onto it until we're done saving the worlds, then sell it and make big bucks!"

"No... I'll take it," Roy said.

"Why's that?" I asked. "This armor's mine! I won it fair and square!"

"I don't know why," he replied. "I just won't let you have it. Besides... it'll be a good way to train."

Roy walked out, snatching the armor and picking it up...

Wow. He must have gotten... a lot stronger.

"Okay, I have a confession," I said. "I know who the Black Knight was."

"WHAT?!" everyone shouted.

"The Black Knight... was Roy's Nobody, Organization's Number XIV," I said. "Oryx."

"That must be why he wanted the armor so badly," Sora said. "There's a part of him that he doesn't want to let go of... Oryx, that is."

Just... like Roxas...

"I see. Well... there's only one thing left to do until Amy strikes at last," I said.

"What's that?" Serenity asked.

"We train. We train to get as strong as Roy and Amy... though I'm not sure that's possible, we have to get strong enough to help Roy," I said. "He can't do this alone, no matter what he says."

"Wait... if Roy had a Nobody, then... what happened to him?" Riku asked.

"Dunno... but whatever happened to him, he probably sacrificed some part of himself," I muttered. "Gimme a couple days, and I'll be able to make personalized training campaigns."

Oryx... must have given his freedom up, at least most of it, to help Roy. To help him protect those dear to him... that's why.
