"That's not him! That couldn't be Ventus!" Terra was shouting, refuing to believe what Aqua was telling him.
"I know it isn't him, what point of Vanitas stole his body did you not hear?" Aqua shouted back, still not able to believe what had happened.
"Well we have to get him back Aqua!" Terra was still shouting, he was panicing.
"Obviously we're getting him back you idiot!" Aqua was also panicing, but she had more to lose than Terra did if they lost Ventus, she'd lose the love of her life and her bestfriend. Terra would lose someone who was like a brother to him.
"There is only one way to get him back." Both Aqua and Terra turned around to see Yen Sid behind them in the door frame. "Aqua, when was the last time Ventus, Roxas, and Sora were in close proximity to each other?" Aqua had to think about it for a bit. "Atleast a week or two." Yen Sid started to nod his head. "That should be just enough time for the fluxiation to begin again." Yen Sid walked out of the room and left Aqua and Terra to their own seperate thoughts.
Terra turned to Aqua. "He's going to twilight town right?" He said with a hostile tone that made Aqua feel uneasy.
"He said he was going after the doppleganger, who else could that be but Roxas? Twilight town is where Roxas is, so it has to be where he's headed." Aqua said standing up.
"Then that's where i'm headed." Terra said forming his armor around his body and running out of the room. "Terra!" Aqua screamed running after him, but it was too late Terra had already summoned his rider and flown off, there was no way she could catch him, she was too weak and the speed at which he took off showed that he was using his own life force to power the rider. Aqua ran to her room, she had taken off her armor plate when she had been injured. "Damnit Terra, this is how we lost you the first time!" Aqua grabbed her armor piece and started to run outside.
Yen Sid grabbed her arm as she tried to run. "You cannot simply leave, you need to know that Vanitas will try everything to get you to stop, until you see the darkness flow out from his body than Vanitas still inhabits his body." Yen Sid stared intently at Aqua as she watched the old magician. "Sora is on his way to twilight town, Roxas is already there of course, with the introduction of all three hearts in the same area, theirs hearts will fluxuate and cause their bodies to react." Aqua nodded. "Good, now go and save what is left of his heart." Aqua ran off summoning her rider and armor, flying off towards twilight town.

Roxas was thrown against the wall. "So weak, you must have come when he was still weak." Vanitas summoned a keyblade that was niether his nor Ventus' "And because you're this weak, you're easily destroyed." Vanitas raises the keyblade, but he never got to strike.
"Ventus!" Xion jumped onto Vanitas, tackling him to the ground. "Stop! What're you doing!" Roxas got up and ran towards Xion and Vanitas. "Get away from him Xion, that's not Ventus!" A explosion of darkness shot out from Vanitas, throwing Xion into a wall and pushing Roxas to the floor. "That was really annoying, i think i'll kill you after i'm done with the doppleganger." Vanitas raised the keyblade once again to finish Roxas.
"Hey Vanitas!" Screamed Terra as he raced towards Vanitas.
Vanitas turned around. "Oh what the fuck is it now?" He only turned quick enough to see Terra jump off his rider and it smash into him, burying Vanitas in the ground. He was starting to get angry. "That's it! Release restriction 1!" A massive explosion of darkness destroyed the entire street and most of the building around it. Vanitas walked out of the crater, darkness leaking from his body. "Fuck the doppleganger, you die first as it was supposed to be twelve years ago." Vanitas dashed towards Terra and tried to roundhouse kick him. Terra caught his foot and brought his elbow down on his knee, a cracking could be heard throughout the street. Terra threw Vanitas away from him.
"You interfering little shit! Do you understand how much planning went into the original plan? Years! Do you know how many years went into my plan? A decade!" Vanitas screamed as he tried rushing Terra again. Once again Terra proved to be too powerful, he punched Vanitas point blank in the nose making his legs come out from under him causing him to slide across pavement. Blood covered Vanitas' face. "I will not lose to the likes of you!" Vanitas was screaming, he was losing it. Vanitas rushed Terra again.
This time was different.
As Vanitas rushed Terra, Roxas threw his keyblade at him, hitting Vanitas in the head causing him to fall to the ground. Xion ran to him and started freezing him at a close range to make sure he recieved all of the spell. Vanitas was slowly being covered in ice, it surronded him, he was unable to move.
Aqua jumped from her rider just as he had been covered. "There she is! Now it's a party!" A fire covered Vanitas burning the ice around him and spreading it to the buildings. Vanitas rushed Aqua, grabbing her by the throat and choking her against the wall of a building. "You're going to die, like you were supposed to." The fire grew wildly as buildings became submerged in the fire, people were screaming, children were crying, and shadows were starting to appear. "Like my friends? I brought them along for the ride, the world heart might be locked but i can still slip a few through. Now it's time for you to go." Vanitas looked at the shadows. "Keep the rest of them busy." The shadows started attacking Terra and Xion and Roxas. Vanitas turned his attention back to Aqua. "Now die."
As Vanitas started to choke Aqua, she felt a tear go down her face. It wasn't fair that she had fallen in love with a amazing person only to die from his darker half, none of this was supposed to happen, yet it was happening. She felt light headed and she could feel herself starting to slip.
Vanitas, took one hand off of her and placed it on his chest. His nose started to bleed. "What's happe-" Vanitas dropped to the floor. The shadows vanished.
"Sora must be in proximity." Roxas said as he looked around. "Yeah, i hope that Ventus is able to come back."

Meanwhile in Ventus' heart

"It hurts, why did i have to suffer alone? Its's not fair!" Vanitas screamed as cuts began to appear on his body. "We could have had everything! But you gave it all away for people who aren't even really your family! I'm the closest thing you have to family!" Vanitas was screaming, but Ventus wasn't listening, he didn't want to hear anything Vanitas had to say. "Ventus! Don't block me out! I'll never shut up! Don't you leave me!" The floor around Vanitas started to crack and seperate from the rest of the structure. "Don't do this!" Vanitas screamed as he drifted farther away. Ventus turned towards Vanitas and smiled. "I didn't do anything, you did this to yourself." He said with a smile on his face. "Ventus!" Vanitas' island shattered and he dissapeared.

In twilight town

Ventus woke up on a bench, the town was burning around him but none of the fire seemed to have reached him. "Aqua? Terra? Roxas? Anyone?" He screamed. The screaming of people was too loud for him to hear anything. Ventus got up from the bench and ran towards the train station, dodging burning buildings and running people.
"Ventus!" Ventus turned to see Namine running towards him.
"Namine, what happened here?" Ventus asked, he wanted to know where Aqua was but this was a more important question.
"I'm not sure, i just saw the fire starting and started running towards it, i figured that Roxas had caused it somehow." Namine explained. "Do you have any kind of idea what happened?" She asked with a distressed look on her face.
"No, i woke up on a park bench near the wall in front of the struggle arena. I was headed towards the train station." Ventus said as fast as he could, he had to look for Aqua. "Have you seen Aqua?" Ventus thought that he might as well ask.
Namine shook her head. "I haven't seen her in person, but i know that she went towards the mansion. I don't know why but her Roxas, Xion and Terra were headed there when i last asked Axel."
Ventus knew where he had to go. "Then i need to go to the mansion." Ventus summoned his keyblade, but it wasn't his. "What the hell is this?"
The keyblade was made entirely of light with cracks of darkness leaking from it, it made Ventus' hand tingle as he held it. It felt different to him, the handle was the same but the feeling wasn't the same at all. The tip had darkness leaking off the side, it fell to the floor but it never made contact, dissolving before it reached halfway. It glowed with power, both light and dark.
"What is this thing?" Ventus asked, he looked up but Namine only shrugged. "I still have to get to the mansion."
Ventus ran towards the mansion, stopping only when he had to, he noticed that the closer he got, the less shadows he saw and the woozier he got. He was starting to feel dizzy and weird, his legs didn't want to take him anywhere. He could barely hear the screaming anymore. Everything was disappearing from him, his vision was closing on him and all he could smell was smoke. Eventually he collapsed, blacking out before he felt the harsh landing of his head on the cement.

Meanwhile at the mansion

Aqua hoped that Ventus was alright, she hadn't been there for the battle, and when she got there he had already been defeated. Now she was stuck fighting the rest of the heartless and saving the town.
"Aqua, you get the second floor room on the right, i'll get the one on the left. Xion, you and Roxas cover the first floor." Terra said. "This is the last place that i can feel them." All of them nodded and ran to the rooms they were assigned. Aqua had no problem in her room, there were two heartless in the room that she was able to destroy with a simple firaga. "That was easy." She walked out of her room, Terra, Xion, and Roxas all walked out of the rooms they were in. "There's nothing in this place." Roxas shouted to Terra. "The place is empty." Terra replied. "That's weird." Xion began. "Why did they all just disappear?" Aqua couldn't help but think that Ventus might have something to do with it. "We have to get back to Ventus!" Aqua jumped off the balcony and ran outside of the mansion and ran towards the town. "Please be there. Please be there. Please be there." She kept repeating the same thing over and over to herself, hoping that Ventus was okay but not able to push the paranoia away.
Aqua got to the wall that lead back into the town and saw Ventus bleeding on the cement in front of the wall. "Ventus!" She screamed, barely even noticing the keyblade that was attached to his hand. She did however notice that his blood was a little darker than it usually was when he was injured or when he got scraped. "Ventus get up. Please Ventus please!" She eventually quit trying to wake him up and opted for taking him back to the land of departure.
"Is he okay?" Kairi had placed her hand on Aquas shoulder trying to keep her from over reacting. Aqua started shaking her head. "He's still breathing, and his heart is beating at a regular pace. But i don't know how he got here, i laid him down on a bench away from the fighting." Tears were streaming down her face. "Namine said she saw Ventus looking for you, he was confused about what was happening." Aqua nodded. "Yeah, i'm going to take him to the land of departure." Kairi let her go as Aqua's armor formed around her and her rider was summoned beside her. "Bye Kairi. Don't worry, i'll tell him the secret soon." Aqua took off with Ventus' body holding on to her.

Back at the land of departure.
xxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxx
Aqua had layed Ventus in his bed and curled up next to him in a way that if he woke up and tried to move than she would know and be able to hug him and kiss him. As she moved in close she knew that it was worth everything to get him back. She closed her eyes and started to drift off. "Goodnight Ventus, i love you." And with that she drifted off into sleep.
