Chapter 15: Incomplete (Finale)

The final school bell had rang as a boy with neat brown hair and blue eyes had walked out of his classroom and made his way outside to meet up with his friend. Along the way he talked with his other friends as they told him to have a great spring break or asked if he had any plans. He would answer them in the simplest way until they went their own ways. Now he stood on the top step and searched for a girl that wore a pink hair ribbon as he overlooked the crowd of students. He found the familiar hair ribbon as a girl dressed in a white sundress waited by the front gate on the bottom steps. He quickly ran down the stairs and covered the girls eyes. "Guess who?"

"Uh…Denzel?" said Marlene as Denzel uncovered her eyes.

"Yeah, it's me." said Denzel with a smile as Marlene turned to face him. Denzel then lead the way to "7th Heaven Bar & Grill" with Marlene walking beside him, but along the way they stop by a local store to buy sea salt ice cream. Once they got their ice cream they sat in a empty stool next to the window and told each other about what had happened all day and what they did. "You said your grandfather told you a stories about three girls and I've been wondering, what happened then?"

"Well, after Kairi and Xion woke up, they all went back to the stone pillar…" began Marlene as Denzel slowly ate his ice cream and listen to the story.

Keyblade Graveyard

"I won't be able to go with you guy." said Riku with his large arm slang over Namine's shoulders as Namine gently placed him on a stone like chair.

"Don't worry I'll stay with him." said Namine as Kairi and Xion looked to each other and back to Namine as she handed them the last of her potions. "Be careful."

"We will, and Riku, I'm really sorry for what I did." said Kairi as she still felt bad for making Riku blind while Riku only smiled.

"Don't worry about it." said Riku while his head was turned towards Kairi as she looked down on him. Xion placed her hand on Kairi shoulder to let her know that they need to head up. Kairi turned to her and nodded as they both leap up from stone to stone and climb up more to reach the top.

"Almost there." said Xion as she hoist Kairi up on the last ledge as both girl drew there keyblades. "On the count of three, we head up."

"Okay." whispered Kairi, "One. Two. Three."

Both girls leap over the ledge and stood on the top of the pillar, but found Roxas by himself with Vanitas nowhere to be found. Xion ran towards Roxas and kneeled down by his side as she shook him, but he didn't wake up.

"Check his eyes." said Kairi as Xion gently opened his eyelids, but they where still sky blue.

"It's not golden. He's still breathing." said Xion with a sigh of relief. "But I wonder if he'll ever wake up."

"Should we try to move him?" asked Kairi.

"Where do you think we should go?" asked Xion as Kairi shrugged.

"Let's take him to Ansem's mansion." suggested Namine over the radio. "We'll place him in a sleep pod, until we know what to do with him."

"Sounds like a good idea to me." said Xion as Kairi agreed with her friends. Both girls hoist him up with his arms over their shoulder as Xion opened the corridor while down below Namine was already through the portal with Riku.

Dive to Heart

Roxas slowly opened his eyes while in midair readjusted himself and stood on a large round pillar. He looked to the floor that had a picture of Sora and looked around. Vanitas slowly descended down and stood face to face with Roxas without his helmet. Roxas looked at Vanitas face, he looked like Sora, but he's eyes where golden that burned with rage, he had raven black spiky hair, and a pale skin tone.

"Why didn't the X-blade appear?" asked Vanitas with his eyes glaring towards Roxas. "What are you?"

"I'm just a nobody." said Roxas as he drew his Two Become One keyblade. Vanitas also drew his Void Gear keyblade as both combatants stood in a different sword style. Roxas held on to his keyblade with both his hands and twirl his weapon in the air and disconnect it as he held onto Oathkeeper and Oblivion in his hands. He ran at full speed towards Vanitas with his keyblades dragging behind him on the floor as sparks erupted from the tips. Roxas swung his left weapon that missed Vanitas and follow up with his right that Vanitas parried as Roxas tried again with his left and locked weapons with Vanitas. Vanitas push him back with all his might as they stood further apart from each other. Roxas and Vanitas rush toward each others with keyblades in hand. Roxas leaped over Vanitas' first attack, landed beside him, and aimed a deadly roundhouse kick to his jaw. Vanitas deflected the kick with a forearm, whirled, and aimed a disabling punch at his solar plexus, which he deflected just as easily.

Their arms and legs became blurs as they pummeled each other with more slashes of their keyblades, none of which landed solidly enough to put either Roxas or Vanitas down. Vicious as the attacks seemed, they were just exploratory actions, on the part of combatants who knew they were too evenly matched to risk a poorly-planned offensive. Less than a minute into the battle, Vanitas retreated ten feet in a single leap.

Roxas' response was as smooth as a raindrop flowing down a windowpane as he created a large block of ice in the air with his left keyblade. He spun and slashed the ice block, shattering it and assaulting Vanitas with a hailstorm of ice shards. In a blur of movement, he managed to dodge the flying shards, but what got through hit hard enough to tear right through his jumpsuit and, in some places, his skin. He ignored the pain and leaped at Roxas. He grabbed Roxas by the wrist and drove him back towards ledge of the pillar.

Roxas drove a knee in to his belly, knocking the breath out of him and loosening his grip on his wrist. Wrenching free, he did not take advantage of the opportunity to press his attack. Instead, he backed off, feinted a slash that Vanitas easily dodged, and curled into a defensive crouch.

They circled each other warily: two of the most dangerous combatants in the world sensing in each other dangers that went beyond strength, beyond speed, and beyond cunning. This was personal. Vanitas knew it and he could tell Roxas knew it too.

It was at this moment that Roxas attacked from the right with his keyblade. Vanitas blocked his attack and it was then that Roxas countered. Vanitas was unaware of his attack and was hit with the blunt side of the keyblade in back of the head.

"I will stop you no matter what." said Roxas as he was pleased that he manage to strike Vanitas, but not kill him. He wanted to toy with him a little more. Vanitas breaths heavily, while using his keyblade for support. He feels warm bleeding from his head and wonders of his skull is fractured.

Roxas had attacked with every right and left slash of his keyblades at Vanitas, which he would dodge or block and he would counter hoping it would contact Roxas. As Vanitas attacked with a down stroke slash, which Roxas easily dodge and counter with a vertical right slash. Vanitas dodges that and counterattacks with another down stroke. Roxas could feel the pressure of Vanitas' attack as Vanitas held down Roxas. Vanitas pushed his keyblade down upon Roxas as he saw him now using both of his arms to hold back Vanitas' attack. Roxas smiled and Vanitas saw it, but Roxas had hit the keyblade out of Vanitas' hand with the one in his right, then kicks him in the face. Vanitas staggers back and feels the blood coming out of his nose.

"For someone with a killing instinct, your very calm." said Vanitas with a smirk on his face. "What are you really? A killer?"

"I told you, I'm a Nobody." said Roxas. "Just an empty shell. That's why the X-blade didn't appear. I have no heart."

"I see so you're a heartless killer." said Vanitas as he attacked again with another vertical slash, but from the left. Roxas swung both his keyblades and he attacks with a right slash. There was a loud clang as all three keyblades connected and the force of the impact from their attacks sent them both back. Vanitas back flips and lands on the ground while Roxas runs to Vanitas and tries to attack with a left slash. Vanitas blocks than counters by sweeping Roxas' leg, before Roxas is able to fall, Vanitas than slams the blunt sides of the keyblade on Roxas' chest. The impact of the keyblade had Roxas cough out some blood. He laid still while looking at the dark air trying his best to breath, but feels nothing but pain all over his chest. Vanitas smiles down on him while circling Roxas. "That's it? Show me more of your killing instants."

Roxas glared at Vanitas as he twirl his legs up and sprang off the floor while summoning both his keyblades once again. Vanitas rushes for another attack that Roxas reacts to the attack, but loses his footing and is off balance, giving Vanitas the advantage. Vanitas then sees an opening and start swing his keyblade nonstop at Roxas out of fury. Roxas must of blocked a dozen slashes before he had lost his balance. Vanitas saw the opportunity and throws a powerful punch at his injured sides and grab Roxas head and knee him in his mouth that stagger him back as he fell on his back. Ignoring the pain, Roxas forces himself to stand and gets ready for another attack from Vanitas as he noticed that Vanitas didn't move an inch as he stands causal, looking at Roxas with a smile. "Why are you still trying? You should know by now that you can beat me. So why keep fighting?" asked Vanitas with an annoyed face. "Show me the killer inside of you."

"I'm not a killer." said Roxas as he reconnected his keyblades into one weapon again. With a quick, hard strokes of his keyblade, he bored into his adversary, deliberately engaging in close quarters combat, refusing to let Vanitas bring his weapon to bear. Roxas was constantly keeping Vanitas on the defensive, pressing in on him steadily.

Then Vanitas back flipped giving himself some space in which to recover, gaining just enough time to assume a new battle stance. Roxas was on him in an instant, covering the distance separating them in a rush, hammering into Vanitas with his keyblade once more. Slowly, Vanitas began to edge his way back into the fight, trying to become the aggressor. Stroke for stroke, Roxas and Vanitas battled around the pillar, locked in combat that seemed endless and forever and could be won by neither as their keyblades echoed with their fury.

Then Roxas parried a down stroke, whirled swiftly to the right, and with his back to Vanitas, made a blind, reverse lunge. The tip of Roxas' keyblade caught him directly in the midsection. Vanitas made no sound as the impact entered him, then taking a small step back as it was withdrawn. He stood motionless for an instant, fighting against the shock of the powerful thrust. He dropped to his knees, and his keyblade clattered to the floor disappearing.

"There's the killer I know." said Vanitas with a smirk on his face. "Even though you said you weren't. I knew it the moment I saw you." Vanitas let out a loud pleasing laugh as his body disappeared. Roxas summoned away his keyblade and fell on his knees. He felt tired, his chest hurts, and his side hurt. He looked up and saw a beam of light shine down on him as the light got brighter, until he was blinded by the light. He opened his eyes as he looked at the light that didn't irritate his eyes as he felt his body was floating. He closed his eyes again as he fell asleep.

Twilight Town: Ansem's Mansion

Down in the basement that was hidden out of sight, Xion stood in front of the pod that they put Roxas in while up in the dining room Ansem examined Riku's eyes.

"Well doc?" asked Riku as Ansem placed a clean bandage on his eyes.

"With all my knowledge, I'm not able to help you, but I could try an eye transfer." said Ansem as he clip off a loose bandage. "It may or may not work since the chances are very high and you may never see again, so I want you to think about it. For now you need you learn a different way to live your life without your eyes."

"I understand." said Riku as Ansem help him get up and lead him to the door.

"Namine agreed to help you." said Ansem as he opened the door and there stood Namine with books tucked in her arms. Namine took Riku by the hand as they carefully walked up the stairs as they made their way to the white room. As they entered the white room, they made their way to the large white table and took a seat. Kairi stood by the window as she tried to call Sora's cell phone, but she kept getting the voice mail. She hung up and would try again later as she took a seat across from Namine and Riku. Namine explained how to used the rest of his other senses as she placed a few items in front of Riku and asked him to describe them.

"Let's see this feels smooth, it's not big or small, and this feels like it has some bristles." said Riku as he felt with his hand. "It's a brush."

"Good, next one." said Namine as Riku felt the next item.

"He's not answering." said Kairi sighing deeply. Namine and Riku both turned towards Kairi as she placed her cell phone back in her pocket.

"Is everything alright?" asked Riku.

"I've been trying to get a hold of Sora, but I keep getting his voicemail." said Kairi as she took a seat next to Riku. "I getting worried about him."

"He doesn't get good reception when he's fishing with his dad." explained Riku to reassure Kairi that she doesn't need to worry. "During the weekends he goes fishing with his dad, since he hardly sees him. They should be on there way back to the islands, since we all have school tomorrow."

"But tomorrow our school starts." said Namine as Kairi also realized that she never got a chance to go shopping for new clothes.

"So…I would see you guys tomorrow." said Riku sounding sarcastic, but at the same time disappointed. Namine didn't know how Riku felt, since he hid his emotions too well. Kairi had to agree with Riku. She wouldn't be able to see Sora at all until their next summer break. She would send him e-mails, talk with him on the phone, but it would still feel lonely not being able to see him and she knew how Ansem felt about them using the Corridor.

Kairi sprang up, almost knocking her chair over as she headed to the door. "Where you going?" asked Namine as she looked on as her friend stopped by the white door.

"I going to speak with Ansem." said Kairi as she made her way out the door. Namine placed her things and books aside as she lead Riku out of the room also as they both slowly followed after Kairi. She was already making her way into the library as Riku used the railings as a guide with Namine still beside him. When they entered the library, Namine explained to Riku that there was another flight of stair that headed into the basement as she guided Riku down the stairs and lead him to the computer room. They finally caught up Kairi as she talked with Ansem.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" asked Ansem. "Living on the islands with your adopted parents? All for a boy?"

"Yes." said Kairi as she nodded. Ansem sighed heavily as he stroke his blonde beard. He thought about it as Kairi waited for his answer.

"I not…"

"I would like to request to live on the island also." spoke Namine as all eyes where on her with Riku's head turned to her. "I'll say at the beach house."

"But Namine, what about your parents?" said Kairi with concern as Namine only smiled at her.

"Don't worry. I know they will support my decision about moving to the islands, plus, I volunteered to help Riku with his condition." said Namine as she looked to Ansem. "Right?"

"Yes, you did." said Ansem as he turned to Xion. "What about you?"

"I…um…" stuttered Xion as she tried to find the right words.

"Come with us." encourage Kairi with a smile as Namine agreed with her and so did Riku. "The more the merrier."

"I…just don't know." said Xion. She would like to go live on the islands with her friends, but she couldn't leave behind a certain person as she turned to the pod. "I really don't know." Suddenly there was a knock coming from the pod as everyone turned to the pod and saw Roxas with his eyes opened staring at his friends as he motioned to Xion.

Next Day: Destiny Islands

"I still can't get used to this skirt." complained Xion as she walked funny and was feeling uncomfortable.

"I think you look cute." said Roxas as he laughed a little while avoiding a not so friendly punched from Xion.

"Shut Up!" blushed Xion as she tried to run after Roxas, but running and keeping the skirt from flapping too much was much harder than she thought it would be. From behind Kairi along with Namine giggled at the sight of their friends while Namine tried to explain to Riku what was going on, but was laughing too hard. As they neared the school, Kairi saw a familiar face from the distance as she ran ahead and met up with Sora as he stood by the gate. He saw her ran past Xion and Roxas while waving wildly at her.

"Kairi is heading towards Sora now." said Namine as she described what they where doing. "Sora is saying 'hi' to her."

"Very poor choice of words, Sora." smirked Riku as Namine agreed with him. "So you're going to be helping me throughout the semester?"

"Yeah for the most parts, but I won't follow you into the boys' restroom. I'll show you where you need to go, but you're on your own once you past the door." said Namine as she held onto Riku's hand.

"Deal." said Riku as they neared the school gate. Sora took notice of Namine and Riku holding hands, but then looked at Riku's face and saw the bandage.

"Hey, buddy. What happened?" said Sora as Kairi disappointedly looked down while Riku whispered into Namine's ear to not tell Sora what really happened to his eyes.

"I stared at the ocean for too long while sailing in my boat. Luckily, Namine was with me." lied Riku that fooled Sora. Roxas suddenly ran past the group of friends with Xion still chasing after him.

"Get Back Here!" yelled Xion as Roxas ducked behind a tree while still laughing as he would move around the tree keeping the space between him and Xion. Feeling frustrated, Xion emitted a flame from her hand.

"Uh oh." said Kairi as she noticed the flames. Roxas also took notice, as he quickly tackled into Xion before any of the students could take notice of the flame coming from her hand. Roxas was relieved that none of the student noticed the flames, but then felt really awkward of how him and Xion were really close to each other.

Xion took notice of Roxas on top of her while he supported himself with one arm while his hand was holding down Xion's hand that emitted the flame as they both were breathing heavily. Kairi was so excited that she started to take pictures with her camera phone while Sora along with other students did wolf calls as Namine described what was happening to Riku.

"HEY YOU TWO!" called a teacher from the window. "NO PUBLIC AFFECTIONS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!"

"No, um…this…isn't what it looks like." said Roxas feeling embarrassed of all the students looking at him and Xion, but it didn't looked like his explanation wasn't working. He didn't even moved yet.

"Get off of me you jerk." said Xion as she shoved Roxas off of her. She quickly stood up, and readjusted herself while dusting off bits of grass that was on her uniform as she ran into the building while avoiding eye contact with anyone.

"I didn't know you two were together." said Sora as he hoisted Roxas up.

"It's not like that." said Roxas as the rest of the students all made there way into the building to head to class or eat breakfast in the cafeteria. Roxas went over to the tree and picked up his backpack as Kairi along with Namine and Riku surround him. "I reacted because Ansem said to not to let the world know of your existence, but how could I know it would turn out like this."

"I know what you mean." said Sora as he sat next to Roxas. "On that day the sky was clear and the sun was high. It was a very beautiful day, but suddenly without warning the weather became bad and I was alone and afraid. Trying my best to not fall overboard into the sea, but this high wave smashed into me and my boat. I didn't know what to do as I wondered if I was going to die with a piece of stake jammed into my chest."

"Is there a point to your story?" asked Roxas as Sora turned and smiled at him while rubbing the back of his head.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is the weather can be unpredictable." said Sora as he laugh a little. "Class starts in five minutes. Shall we head on in?"

"Yeah, we should be heading to class, but don't worry about Xion." said Kairi. "It's natural for her to act like this, since it is her first time."

"I hope your right." said Roxas as Sora got up off the ground and made his way into the school with Kairi while Namine and Riku also headed in leaving Roxas by himself. "You're a good person, Sora. I have to admit, you make a good other."

Midgar

"My grandpa said that they all spent the whole semester together and had fun living on the island." said Marlene as she ended her story. She and Denzel continued to walk until they saw the sign that read, "7th Heaven" in the distance as she finished her ice cream and checked her stick. "Hey! I got the winning stick!"

"Cool, come on let's show Tifa!" said Denzel as he took Marlene by the hand and ran towards the bar while they both laughed together as they weaved by some people. Marlene planned to spend the spring break with Denzel and Tifa while her dad was working that the oil plant. They then barged into the bar and ran up to Tifa as she was cleaning a glass cup while Marlene showed her the popsicle stick.
