You guys are all awesome. How great are you at reviewing? Really makes me happy.

For those of you who are wondering whether or not I'll go through the entire game, I won't give everything away, but I will tell you that I will veer away from the plot a little bit. I won't go world-by-world like they do in the game, because no one really wants to read out every cutscene from KH2, and so I'm going to spice it up a bit by adding my own plot. Hope you don't mind :3

Anyway! My thank you's: phantombullets240, ZackFair1076542, AoZ, pandabearmusic, NinjaSheik, Kuro Neko to Kuro Bara, and Zamaya.

Keep the reviews coming! I've got up to chapter 11 done so far. I'm on a roll, gotta say. ;D

Read, enjoy and review. You're all amazing.


It was the sixth day. The restoration was nearly complete--Vilixa awoke that morning with both a sense of excitement and sadness bubbling up within her being. She got out of bed and pulled her black cloak over a matching shirt and pants, slipping on her shoes and rushing to the library. She ran down the stairs to find DiZ sitting by the computer screens, hastily typing away.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"It's time for him to return to Sora," he answered blankly. "Ensure that everything is prepared. Sora cannot know of us being here."

Vilixa scratched the back of her head and sighed. "Can I go in and say goodbye to him first?"

A frown tugged at the corner of DiZ's lips. "Fine," he caved. "But be quick. We haven't all day."

With her hood covering her face, Vilixa stepped onto the platform and felt her body being copied into the digital town. She looked around for Roxas, and saw that she was in the Sandlot. DiZ had indeed frozen time--Seifer and his gang of nitwits were standing in a triangle formation, none of them breathing or blinking.

She scurried past them into the Tram Common, where she saw Roxas running along the tram's tracks towards the forest.

"Roxas!" she called, waving to him.

He turned and drew his Keyblade, prepared to attack. "Who are you? What do you people want from me?" he growled.

"Easy," she said calmly, removing her hood from her head. "Do you remember me, Roxas?"

"Vilixa?" he asked, blinking rapidly. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, at least you remember who I am," she chuckled. "I wanted to say goodbye."

One of Roxas' eyebrows flew up and he scratched the back of his head. "Why would you want to say goodbye? You just got here."

"It's a long story, Roxas," Vilixa answered truthfully. "I guess what I meant to say was...not goodbye, but..." she smiled at the boy. "See you later." Vilixa felt her virtual body start to dissipate as Roxas was calling out her name. His voice seemed to shrink farther and farther into the distance until it was nothing more than a blip on DiZ's computer screen.

"Have you started remembering?" DiZ asked her once she'd returned.

"Bits and pieces," she nodded. "Things are becoming clearer."

"Hmm," DiZ thought to himself. "As I had expected. Naminé's work has resurfaced the lost memories in those closest to Sora. Maybe soon you'll regain your entire memory."

Vilixa shook her head. "With all due respect, DiZ, I don't think I'll be able to regain all of my memories until I get my heart back." She turned swiftly and prepared the pod for Sora's awakening. She was ensuring that all the cables were hooked up properly and that everything was properly engaged when she heard footsteps behind her.

Turning, she saw Riku approaching. "I heard your conversation with DiZ," he said.

She nodded and continued prepping the pod. "And?"

"You remember things?" he asked. "Why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed, answering, "It really isn't much. Just a few things here and there...mostly about the ocean and the islands..."

Riku nodded slowly and folded his arms over his chest. "Do your memories come to you often?"

She shook her head. "Not a lot. Mostly just in dreams..." She looked up at the face of Xehanort, seeing past his exterior and into Riku's own eyes. "Why does DiZ call you Ansem?"

"I have his face," he replied shortly.

"You have his face," Vilixa agreed, "but not his heart."

Riku let out a small sigh and buried his head further into his hood. "Prepare the pod for Sora's awakening. DiZ and I have to leave the mansion immediately. Sora can't know that we were ever here."

Vilixa bit her lip and asked, "And what about Naminé? Are you really going to destroy her?"

He paused, but shifted slightly. "I'm trying to find another way to deal with this. Just...help Sora, all right? I'll deal with the rest. You have to go with him or you may never find your heart."

"What about you?" she questioned. "You and DiZ...where will you be?"

"I don't know yet," he answered honestly. "We'll just have to see how things play out." He turned and left the room, the sound of his footsteps echoing behind him. "Goodbye...Livia."

Vilixa's hand subconsciously reached up to where her heart would have been, but stopped itself midway. "Goodbye, Riku."

Turning back to the control panel, she pushed one of the buttons and heard something opening from out in the hallway. The two pods containing Donald and Goofy had been opened--she could hear that duck's quacking from where his pod was at the end of the hall. Turning back to Sora's, she pushed another button and the shells started to open, spreading apart like the wings on an angel's back.

Sora's sleeping face greeted her, his clothes outgrown, hanging in suspended animation.

"Wake up, sleepy-head," she said in a quiet, sing-song voice. "Come on. Wake up, Sora."

Slowly, the boy's eyes fluttered open and the first thing he did was let out a huge yawn. Vilixa giggled a bit as he stretched out his arms and tried to regain the feeling back into his muscles. Being asleep for a year apparently had its downsides.

His eyes finally settled on the girl that stood before him. "H-Huh?" he gasped. "Livia? You're alive?"

She bit her lip and smiled up at him. "Not quite. But it's really good to see you."
