"Its official were lost" Said Zidane not so quietly. And they were lost. The trio was working their way around the Pandaemonium. The purple playground of the Emperor. They've been cutting up hordes of manikins one after the other. After that they got bored and decided it would be best to go back to home base. There was one problem they were completely lost. This brings us back to the current situation.

"Keep your tail in a bunch Zidane! All we need to do is follow the wind and were home free." Bartz stated. "Well, the stupid wind isn't leading us anywhere! Also, you know damn well not to talk about my tail!" the blonde shouted and was about to rip Bartz a new one, if not for Roxas

"Calm down man, but he has a point Bartz the others might be worried about us by now." He said. The teen really didn't want to get in trouble with the others as he was new. Bartz nodded" True, so I say we turn there!" he shouted excitingly as he went for a turn.

"Hey man slow….Bartz no stop!" Roxas screamed as he ran after him. The reason he did so was because of the unstable darkness in that corridor. And something inside tells him that's never a good thing. As Zidane went after the two a purple light engulfed his companions as they disappeared. "Well, that was unexpected." muttered Zidane.

Roxas slowly opened his eyes as he began to remember the past events. "Bartz!" he shouted to his companion. The adventurer began to wake up from the noise,"Roxas, buddy where are we?" he asked. Roxas just snorted "I don't know I'm the one that followed you, so you tell me."

"Yeah my bad." Bartz rubbed his head sheepishly. The nobody just sighed "No problem, but where do you think we are?" Just as he was about to answer a voice cut in"Well, well Bartz, we meet again" it mused.

Right then a portal up above opened. Out came a man wearing red and gray armor with yellow accents, gray shorts with red polka-dots, and a horned hood. He then stunk a pose for added effect. Roxas and Bartz simply turned around with the latter muttering "Okay werid".

This obviously pissed off the hood man "Don't tell me you forgot about me already you sniveling worm" he said. "Okay rude" stated Roxas who was a little annoyed as he and Bartz turned around to see the man. "Well it's no surprised to see you speech less as the last time we meet I was thrown to the rift as you looked on slack-jawed…" he continued to rant as Roxas just realized something.

"Hey, Bartz this guy said you meet before right?" he asked the wanderer. "Yeah why?" Roxas face palmed himself," It means this guy is from your world! He even knows who you are!" Bartz widen-his eyes at the realization."So if you fight him you might be able to get some of your memories back." He said in a matter of fact tone. He knew how no one remembered their home. That they don't know how long it's been since they've been home. Roxas found it suspicious how they were just summoned out of nowhere in this war. He knew there had to be a purpose is hid it. But decided it wasn't necessary to know since it wasn't his business and it would lead to who knows what kind of trouble.

Bartz was giddy at the words his companion just said "Yea think?" The nobody shrugged "It's worth a shot", "Are you two listening!" shouted an angry Gilgamesh "Now Bartz you will now fall by the greatest swordsman!"

Roxas' ears picked up this statement. Now as a keyblade warrior it's obvious the nobody is a master swordsman, so it's normal for him to want to see if this guy can back up his words. "Bratz forget what I said just now, I'm going to fight him." He said determined " Bu –but…" he began to argue but was cut off by the sound of Roxas turning his head towards him "Is there a problem?" he asked sickly sweet.

Bartz shook his head "No man, he's all yours." He stated quickly. Roxas nodded as he walked towards his opponent,"Hey man you'll be fighting me today." He stated. Gilgamesh scoffed"And why would I be interested in fighting a brat like you?" Roxas right then summoned his keyblades for the swordsman to see while smirking. Said man eyes bulged then smiled "Well, well looks like I'll have new swords in my collection." He shouted as he got in a fighting stance. "That's IF you can take them." Our favorite nobody answered coolly as he got into his own stance.
