Disclaimer: I don't own anything KH related. I just own Katy, my wonderful OC :)

It was, by far, the worst dream yet. It started out familiar…

The island was dark and the shadows casted were threatening. A tall man in a black cloak lounged lazily on a log, looking up as a shorter boy, also in a black cloak appeared from a dark corridor.

"You have arrived. I've been to see him...He looks a lot like you." The taller man stated.

"Who are you?" The shorter boy asked

He remembered who the man was.

He was in a touristy town. There were neon lights everywhere advertizing different things. It was nighttime, but, in this tow it was always nighttime. He was killing heartless. That's what he was meant to do, kill Heartless.

He was being watched.

He threw one of his dual Keyblades at the man who was watching him. He didn't expect him to catch it but he did. The man jumped off the building he'd been spying from and began to fight him. He had long silver hair and was wearing a blindfold. The blindfolded man fell to the ground and called out;

"Why? Why do you have the Keyblade?"

"Shut up." Roxas replied, going in for the final blow…

Roxas woke up from his restless sleep, feeling no different then he usually did. He got dressed, left his house, and made his way to the usual spot

"Man, I could not sleep at all last night." He remarked, rubbing his eyes.

No one answered him.

"Guys?" Roxas asked, placing a hand on Hayner's arm.

He gasped.

His hand went right through Hayner's arm.

And as if that weren't enough, when they left they ran through him. Thoroughly freaked out now, Roxas picked up a picture that was lying on a sack of crates. It was of Hayner, Pence, and Olette. He wasn't there. Panicking, Roxas followed his friends out of the Usual Spot. He walked out and crashed into a frantic looking Katy.

Wait…crashed INTO!

"Katy! You…you're real!"

"Yes. I'm here. Roxas, we have to go right now!"

"Go where?" he asked

Before she could answer several Dusks rose out of the ground. And if that weren't enough, Axel also appeared, looking smug.

"Look at what it's come to. See, I've been given these icky orders to destroy you if you don't come back with me." He said to Roxas. Then his eyes flicked over to Katy and his smirk grew. "Always a pleasure, Katy."

"Shut up, Axel." She bit back.

Axel was about to reply when Roxas cut in.

"We're…best friends. Right?" He asked Axel

"Sure…" Axel began, rubbing the back of his head. "But I'm not getting turned into a Dusk for—Wait a sec! You remember now?"

"Y-Yeah!"

"Roxas, what are you doing?" Katy whispered, urgently

He pushed her lightly away from him and shook his head

"That's great! But…you know, gotta make sure…so, um…What's out bosses name? Axel asked, eyes hopeful

After a lengthy silence, it was clear that Roxas didn't know.

"Can't believe this…" Axel muttered, clearly unhappy

While he was distracted, Roxas bent down and grabbed a stick off the ground. By the time Axel's attention turned back to him, the stick had transformed into the Keyblade. Katy had summoned her own weapons and they were both ready to kick Axel's ass. Again. But, apparently, fate had other plans because suddenly, Axel was frozen in time. Then a voice, the voice of the guy with the red cloak from the struggle match, seemed to come from everywhere at once.

"Roxas, Katy, to the mansion. The time has come.

"C'mon, Roxas." Katy said, softly pulling him along with her.

After the pair exited the Alley into Market Street, time progressed once more and Axel unfroze to find that Roxas and Katy had left.

"The Roxas that I know is long gone. Fine, I see how it is." He spoke to himself

If he were actually a Somebody, this would be what betrayal felt like…

Meanwhile, Katy and Roxas ran down Market Street, through the woods and finally reached the old mansion. They realized as soon as they got there that the gate was still locked and that Dusks were closing in. Katy was a little annoyed; DiZ could have at least opened the gates for them. As though he was reading her thoughts Roxas mumbled

"Don't call me and then lock me out."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Roxas had a sort of…flashback of Sora using the Keyblade.

Oh, duh Keyblade

He used it to unlock the gate and the two rushed inside. Katy looked back and saw Cloaky taking care of the Dusks. The Foyer was eerily silent and it put both of them on edge. Katy started for the stairs, but Roxas held her back.

"Katy, what's going on?" He asked, looking completely lost.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She answered truthfully and motioned for him to follow her. She led Roxas up to the White Room.

"I know this place…" He began "It's—"

"Naminé's room." Katy finished.

She watched as Roxas looked around at all of the sketches Naminé had done in order to restore Sora's memories. He looked at one that happened to be of him and clutched his head in pain. He knew that place…

*Flashback*

Roxas walked the empty streets of whatever world he had traveled to with no true destination in mind. The hood on his Organization cloak was down so anyone who passed him, if there had been anyone out, would be able to see the anger on his face. He pretended not to notice his best friend, Axel, as he passed him but he couldn't ignore him when he spoke.

"So your mind's made up?" Axel asked

"Why did the Keyblade choose me?" Roxas asked, avoiding the taller man's question. "I have to know."

"You can't turn on the Organization!" Axel snapped, angrily.

*End Flashback*

When Roxas could see straight again her turned around and saw that Naminé had joined them in the White Room.

"Organization XIII…they're a bad group."

"Bad, or good? I don't know." Naminé replied.

Katy snorted.

"They held you captive in a Castle for months. They threatened to kill you. I think that makes them pretty bad."

Naminé shot Katy a glare and continued.

"They're a group of incomplete people striving to be whole. To that end, they're desperately searching for something."

"What?" Roxas asked

"Kingdom Hearts."

Roxas laughed and Naminé looked over at him sharply

"Funny?"

"It's just…I think—I've been running away from the question I really wanna ask: What's gonna happen to me now? Just tell me that. Nothing else really matters anymore."

"You are—" Naminé began.

Then her image began to disappear…as though it was made of pixels. A portal made of computer code opened next to the chair Naminé had been sitting in and out stepped the red-cloaked guy from the Struggle.

"There's no knowledge that has the power to change your fate."

"Even if it doesn't. I wanna know. I have a right to know" Roxas persisted.

"Roxas, please." Katy pleaded. She knew he'd never do it if he knew what would happen.

"A Nobody doesn't have a right to know. Nor does it even have the right to be."

"But what IS a Nobody!" Roxas exclaimed.

"Before the man could answer, Ansem came in through the same kind of portal DiZ did.

"DiZ, we're out of time. Too many Nobodies!"

Then things started to got a little fuzzy.

A dark corridor opened and suddenly Naminé was there…the real Naminé and she seemed hell bent on telling Roxas the truth. The whole truth.

"Roxas. Nobodies like us are only half a person. You won't disappear. You'll be whole!"

"NO!" Katy shrieked.

"I'll disappear?" Roxas exclaimed, eyes widening."

"I swear to God Naminé! I hope the Organization gets a hold of you! You just killed us! You killed all of us!" Katy shrieked, trying to get across the room to cause the blonde some sort of bodily harm, but Roxas held her fast.

"No further outbursts!" DiZ said firmly, walking to the dark corridor and grabbing Naminé by the wrist.

Naminé however, was still trying to finish her explanation

"No, you WON'T disappear. You'll—" She was cut off by DiZ's hand over her mouth.

"Wait!" Roxas protested, taking a step forward only to be blocked by Ansem.

"Let her go! Naminé!"

They all disappeared through portals and it was just he and Katy again. Roxas whirled around and started yelling at her

"Did you know? Did you? Huh? You did, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry, Roxas, but if you don't fuse back with Sora, then we're all as good as dead."

"What do you mean?" He demanded.

"I mean that Sora is the only chance the worlds have. Without him, we might as well give up now."

To this, Roxas had no reply. He stormed out of the White room, Katy following a ways behind.

"Where is he? Sora? I want to see him." Roxas asked without turning around.

"Follow me." Katy said softly.

She led him over to a table in the library. Picking up the pencil that was resting on the wood surface, Katy finished the drawing, using one of Naminé's sketches as a guide. The drawing began to glow and the floor opened up into a staircase to what must have been the basement. Roxas followed Katy down the stairs and into the computer room. Then Roxas's head began to ache again and more images flashed in front of his eyes.

*Flashback*

A room full of cloaked people sitting on high-backed chairs. Visions of himself running through different worlds.

And that blindfolded man again…

"Why? Why do you have the Keyblade?"

"Shut up." Roxas replied, going in for the final blow…but it was blocked. Just before Roxas was rendered unconscious he could see the man looming over him.

Fast forward a couple of hours later. He could hear voices.

"Will it work?" The voice of the cloaked man

"If we can maintain the simulated town until Naminé finishes chaining together Sora's memories." The voice of the man in red.

"What will happen to Roxas?"

"He holds half of Sora's power within him. In the end, he'll have to give it back. Until then, he'll need another personality to throw off his pursuers."

"Poor thing."

"It's the fate of a Nobody."

He watched as his body was beamed into a machine. A machine that had trapped him in the virtual town he'd lived in for God knows how long.

*End Flashback*

"When the flashes were over, Roxas was beyond pissed. Hands shaking, he drew the Keyblade.

"Roxas, don't! It won't do any good!" Katy protested.

He pushed her away and began to hack relentlessly at the computers until they were a mess of broken glass and tangled wires. After he was done expressing his rage, Katy took his hand and continued leading him through the basement. A wave of Nobodies waited for them in the next room. The two of them defeated them easily but neither were prepared for the reappearance of Axel.

"Simply amazing, Roxas."

"Axel." Roxas replied

"You really do remember me this time? I'm SO FLATTERED!" He roared, causing flames to surround only Roxas and himself. "But your too late!"

"Roxas! I can't get through! Be careful!" Katy shouted through the flames.

Roxas barley heard her. He was more focused on how the hell he suddenly had two Keyblades.

Before he even had time to question it, Roxas was dodging attacks. He made sure to steer clear of Axel when he was surrounded by fire and tried really hard not to get thrown though the makeshift arena's walls. That would probably really hurt. On top of all that, Axel had this annoying new attack where he could jump out of the ring and attack while also turning the floor to magma. That was really not fun. Fortunately, after he got the pattern down, Roxas was able to win easily and he emerged victorious.

As the flames went down and the smoke cleared, Roxas remembered the rest of the flashback he'd been having before…

*Flashback*

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!" Axel protested, angrily

"No one will miss me." Roxas replied ruefully as he walked away.

"That's not true…I would." Axel said to the now empty street.

*End Flashback*

"Axel…" Roxas started, feeling guilty that he just beat up his best friend

Axel looked up and smiled…sort of

"Let's meet again in the next life."

"Yeah…I'll be waiting." Roxas replied

Axel looked away as a dark corridor surrounded him

"Silly. Just because you have a next life…" And then he was gone in a rush of darkness.

The room was silent for awhile until Katy walked up beside Roxas and tentatively grabbed his hand.

"Are you okay?" She asked softly

Roxas nodded.

"Let's go." She said, pulling him through the door into the pod room.

As they walked down the hallway, Roxas stopped and gazed into two small pods.

"…Donald…Goofy…" He muttered more to himself then Katy as he gazed upon the two of the figures that had been gracing his dreams as of late.

"Yep. The famous talking animals in the flesh." Katy replied, a ghost of a smile on her face.

Katy led Roxas through the last door into the main pod room. DiZ was waiting for them.

"At last, the Keyblade's chosen one."

"Who are you talking to?" Roxas demanded. "Me? Or Sora?"

"To half of Sora of course." DiZ replied as though it was obvious. "You reside in darkness. What I need is someone who can move about the realm of light and destroy Organization XIII,"

"Why? Who are you?"

"I am a servant of the world." DiZ laughed. "And if I'm a servant, then you should consider yourself a tool, at best."

"Was that…Was that supposed to be a joke?" Roxas asked through gritted teeth. "Cause I'm not laughing!"

He ran at DiZ, Keyblade drawn, and swung despite Katy's scream of protest only to find that it was only a hologram of DiZ.

"My apologies. This is only a data based projection."

Roxas screamed in rage and continued to swing at the hologram as though he hoped it would turn into the real DiZ at any moment. The hologram disappeared and reappeared in front of the large pod in the middle of the room.

"Come here." DiZ said, sternly.

"I hate you so much." Roxas spat, still seething

"You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good."

Somewhere behind Roxas, Katy laughed. DiZ had a point…

"No! My heart belongs to me!" Roxas stated, swinging the Keyblade through the hologram once more.

It disappeared again and the pod it had been in front of opened revealing a teenage boy in too small clothes.

"Sora." Roxas and Katy said in unison.

Roxas turned around and looked at his companion. She was staring at Sora with such adoration and longing that he had to look away.

"So…I this is your boyfriend, huh?" He asked.

"Yep. That's him." Katy replied, voice cracking.

"So, since I'm half of Sora, doesn't that mean I'm technically your boyfriend too?"

Katy laughed and nodded.

"Yeah. I guess it does."

Roxas sighed and made his decision

"I'll do it. But not for DiZ, not for Sora, but for you. Cause apparently I'm a sucker for crying girls." Roxas joked, trying to bring some levity to the situation.

Katy laughed again.

"Yeah, Sora is too. I guess you have that in common."

"Before I go…I want to try something…while it's still me and not him." Roxas said, walking closer to Katy and awkwardly placing his hands on her hips. "Is kissing me considered cheating on your boyfriend if I'm technically him? Or half of him?"

Katy bit back a laugh and shrugged before resting her hands on Roxas's shoulders.

"No idea."

"I'm gonna go with no. It'll make me feel less guilty." Roxas replied, pressing his lips gently to hers

A sense of familiarity settled over him like the first time he saw her. It was almost like he'd kissed her before. Pulling away, he looked down into her eyes.

"I'm scared." He admitted.

"Don't worry. As much as it kills me to say it, Naminé was right. You won't disappear. You'll be whole."

Roxas nodded and approached the pod slowly.

"Sora, you're a lucky guy." He spoke to the sleeping teen. "Looks like my summer vacation…is over."

Roxas looked back at Katy and smiled.

"Thank you. For everything."

"Don't worry about it." Katy replied

It all happened so fast. One second Roxas was there, then there was a flash of light that surrounded Sora and he was gone. Katy flopped to the floor, emotionally drained, and waited for Sora to wake up.
