Chapter 06 – Another Keyblade Wielder
Another mission with Xion today, at least we have a good time together. I only wonder when Axel will be back, I can't wait for him to return, and then we three can have ice cream together…
-Roxas… are you ok? –Xion asked concerned
-What…? Oh yes. Lets finish our mission. –Xion nodded and Roxas started walking searching for Heartless, Xion giggled
-You don't know today's mission, right?
-What do you mean, defeat Heartless and collect hearts as always. –the girl shook her head while laughing.
-No. Saix said we had to defeat some giant Heartless named…Darkside. –she said while reading a paper with the mission details.
-Oh, really? This is new. –Xion giggled again
-Here says this Heartless has appear countless times in Twilight Town, not in the forest.
-In the town? I didn't knew Heartless appeared there too.
-Me either –she said shrugging
Roxas and Xion went to the town (with their hoods on so that no one will recognize them) and started looking everywhere for the giant Heartless, both thought that giant meant "easy finding" but they didn't find it. After a little rest, they started looking in the underground tunnels, but it was useless.
They continued with their search, this time irritated because of all the time they've wasted searching for that thing. They walked toward Station Heights when they saw a lot of people running and screaming toward them.
-THE GIANT MONSTER IS BACK! –they heard someone said
Roxas and Xion looked at each other and started walking to the station evading the people running toward them. When they finally got there, they saw the giant Heartless. It had several long tentacles around its face, as well as two thin wings- as if it could fly and a heart-shaped hole where it's stomach should be.
-Whoa! Its huge! –Xion said surprised
-It's the first time I fight something like this. –Xion nodded too.
-Come on Roxas, we can handle it.
Xion started running toward the monster, Roxas stood a little there, but then started running to summoning his Keyblade. The Darkside tried to crush Xion with one of his hand, but she managed to dodge it. However, darkness spread around his hand and Shadows started appearing from it.
Xion fought the Shadows with her magic while Roxas attacked the Darkside, but it didn't seem to be harmed. Without noticing, the Darkside slapped both teens and sent them flying to a wall. Rapidly the Heartless took Xion with one of its hand and started crushing her.
-ROXAS! –she shouted from pain
Roxas rapidly threw his Keyblade hitting the Heartless face, the monster immediately released Xion and before she hit the floor, Roxas caught her.
-Are you ok? –he asked worried, the girl nodded
They were again surrounded by Shadows, but this time Roxas was with no weapon and he couldn't use magic so it was up to Xion. She defeated them easily, but again the Darkside started attacking them tying to crush them. They could only dodge its attacks until Roxas got close enough to pick his Keyblade and started attacking again.
Without any of the teens noticing, people started to gather and cheer them from a safe distance. After Roxas had done enough damage to the monster, it seem like it had already been defeated, and he noticed all the people gathered there cheering, the monster used this distraction…
-Roxas, be careful! –Xion warned but it was too late, the Darkside slapped him, he was about to fall from the upper side from Station Heights when Xion grabbed his arm.
The Darkside was approaching when the people gathered there started throwing objects in a hope for making him stop. Fortunately it work and the Heartless focused on the people over there, Xion used this time and saved Roxas from the cliff and got their attention to the Heartless.
-Lets try again. –Roxas said exhausted
-Yeah. –The girl nodded
Again, both teens started attacking the monster, the monster tried again to slap them or crush them but they dodge all of the attacks. They did all the damage to the Heartless but it wasn't enough. Roxas, completely exhausted stopped running in order to get some rest, but the monster used this to slap him and he dropped his Keyblade.
The monster started crushing him with one of his hands while Xion watched horrified the scene, but Roxas shout snapped her out.
-XION! Use my Keyblade… -he shouted
Xion started running toward the Keyblade, but when she got near it, it disappeared and reappeared in Xion's hand surprising her. With a determined look, the girl started attacking the monster and released Roxas.
Xion with her last breath ran and jumped into the monster and with one hit she slashed the monster and defeat it. A huge cloud of smoke gathered and then the giant heart in the sky confirmed the defeat of the Heartless.
Both stared in surprise with what just happened, Xion heavily sat on the ground panting, she then grinned at Roxas. Suddenly both started hearing lots of cheering and shouting, they watched as everybody congratulated them with applauses and shouts. Roxas immediately got near to Xion and opened a Dark Corridor and got her into and fled.
-They…disappeared? –someone said among the crowd
The dark corridor reappeared in the forest, Roxas and Xion stood out of it and heavily felt to the floor, both still panting.
-That…was…close. –Roxas said between gasps, he suddenly felt Xion arms around him and watched as she got above him
-Roxas, do you saw what I did? –she said with a big smile in her face, he just nodded, still surprised because of Xion's action
-I…didn't know you could use the Keyblade.
-Me either. –she said breaking the hug, Roxas heavily sat on the grass and took out a potion from his bag just like Xion and started drinking it. Both made a disgusted face after drinking it, but then started laughing at each other's face.
They laid down on the grass resting a little, even though potions healed almost all kind of wounds, only ethers or elixirs gave extra energy.
-We must be careful Xion, we attracted a lot of attention today.
-…
-Xion?
Roxas set his sight on his friend, Xion was already asleep. Roxas was a little surprised but he understood, this was so far the hardest mission they have had. He jiggled at Xion and decided to do the same than his friend and get a little rest.
He searched a little in his bag and took out the new manga he had bought recently, the next volume of the one Demyx gave him.
The next day…
Roxas forgot to set his alarm clock last night…again. Fortunately for him, Xion came for him before he got in trouble…again.
-Roxas… are you up? –she said waiting for an answer, when she didn't heard anything she slowly opened the door and looked inside, Roxas was sleeping with his pillow on his head, she giggled.
She got close to Roxas and gently move him in order for him to wake up… He groaned and set his head in Xion's opposite direction, his reaction made her laugh even more.
-Roxas wake up…
-I wanna sleep… -he said revealing his drowsy face
Xion stared in disbelief when she saw Roxas face, he had it covered with some draws in marker including some glasses, a mustache and a beard was drawn in it. Even a little Tic Tac Toe game in his cheek, Xion didn't resisted anymore and busted into laugher.
-What? –Roxas asked confused
-Look…at…your…face…! –She managed to said laughing, Roxas started searching to his mirror and noticed the draws he had.
-What the…? Stupid dusks. –he silently cursed, Xion dried the tears from her eyes
-Do they always do this? –she said still laughing
-Sometimes…
-They do are creative, don't you think? –she joked
-Shut up. –Roxas answer only made Xion started laughing again
- Ok… Hey, hurry up and take a shower. Breakfast will be ready soon. Remember Saix hates when we're late for our missions –she said with a giggle
-Ok… -he sighed resigned
This time, Roxas had a Solo mission in a world he had never been. Beast's Castle. As the mission instructions said, he must be quiet so that way the people that lived in the Castle wouldn't notice him.
After reaching his quota, he went back to the clock tower hoping to meet Xion, after a while waiting, she got there, even more happy than usual. Roxas immediately noticed this but it was Xion the one who revealed the reason of her mood.
-Roxas, look! –she said with a grin, she showed her hand to Roxas when it suddenly started glowing and a Keyblade appeared from it, Roxas blinked…
-Whoa! –Roxas summoned his Keyblade too, incredible The Organization had two Keyblade Wielders now. Both teens smiled at each other.
-We've a lot in common, don't you think?
-Yeah. Congratulations. You know, you deserve a prize, today I'll give you an extra ice cream. –Xion giggled
-Thanks, but we eat those ice creams everyday, and they have a lot of calories. I don't wanna get fat, you know?
-Oh, come on Xion! –he protested
-I said NO! But you can always give me the money, you know? –she innocently whispered
-Of course not!
-Why are you so selfish with an innocent pretty girl? –she said with sad face, Roxas started laughing
-What are you talking about? You're not pretty! –He joked
-WHAT DID YOU SAID? –she shouted at him even when she knew he was joking, they both started laughing, they always thought they were lucky to have each other, and Roxas always thought those afternoons would be funnier when Axel returned.
