Kizu's Point of View

I slowly opened my eyes and then bolted up, looking around nearly frantically. "What happened?"

I thought for a minute, thinking back on what had occurred. "I wonder what time it is…"

It was still very dark in my room so I assumed that I had woken up in the middle of the night. Yawning, I looked over to my left, seeing Axel slumped on the chair I would usually use for my work desk. He had a thin blanket over him and he was snoring very softly. "He must have carried me into my room and watched me after I passed out…"

I sighed heavily and then lay down on my bed. After turning over, I fell back asleep.

"Kizu!" I heard Roxas yell in distress. I opened my eyes again. But this time, I wasn't in my room. To be honest, I didn't know what room I was in. Bright lights were shining everywhere, nearly blinding me. I saw Roxas running at me with a pained look on his face. Someone or something was following him. No, not following… chasing after him. I focused my eyes on the face of that… thing. The jet black hair and frozen blue eyes… Xion? My eyes quickly reverted back to Roxas. He was frantic and holding an open, bleeding gash on his left side with one hand. He was running as fast as he could. Blinding beams of light were shooting at him as he ran.

"We have to get outta here!" He grabbed my hand with his own free hand and continued running away from the Xion look alike.

"No," I replied. "It's my fault and I'll stand up to it. I failed."

"It's not me talking Roxas!" I yelled in my mind. It wasn't though. It felt as if… it was me, but I couldn't control what I was doing.

Roxas then turned around with his Keyblade in hand, "Then I'll stay then! I can't let you get hurt too."

"NO!"

Another shining beam of directly light shot Roxas, and I saw him disintegrating into darkness. Everything then faded out...

I quickly opened my eyes and was breathing heavily. "I-it's just.. a dream…" I reassured myself.

"You okay Kizu?" I heard. Turning my head to the left, I saw Axel awake and staring at me.

"Y-yeah," I stuttered. I then sat up and cleared my throat, "Yes. I'm fine."

"You sure?" Axel asked again, raising his small, red eyebrow.

I nodded. "Just a bad dream. That's beside the point. What happened yesterday?"

"About that," He looked up then at me straight in the eye, "I'm sorry."

"About what?"

"I should have warned you. When I choose my chakrams, the same thing happened to me. It just wasn't as bad." As he was explaining, he pulled his sleeve up and showed a burn mark. "Powers activate when they touch the weapons. Everyone had that problem.. Except for Roxas because he was born with a weapon. Demyx and I didn't expect you to completely freeze. I had to thaw you out before you died."

"Thank you Axel," I smiled.

His expression changed into being surprised. "That's it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I thought you'd get mad."

I shook my head, "No. Thank you Axel. For saving me."

"Yeah," The sides of Axel's mouth turned up for a second but then he stopped himself, "We're going to train today so get ready. I'll be waiting outside."

He stood up and stepped outside, leaving me staring at the door. "What was that?"

I just shrugged it aside and changed into a fresh, new coat. I walked outside and Axel open up a Corridor of Darkness. "Demyx is waiting for us."

I nodded and walked in with him after me.

I walked into a large, dustyarea in front of what looked like a Greek coliseum. Large doors with thunderbolts carved into it were in front of me. Three columns were to the left and right of the doors and farther out were golden statues of warriors. Their swords crossed above the door to make an X and they stood on spacious platforms with small, golden fire pits lining the edge.

I smiled as I thought, "This detail and artwork is amazing…"

"Demyx should be in the Coliseum," Axel stated, walking toward the enormous doors.

I ran after him as the doors opened and he walked in. We both walked past a wide but small hall that was lined with trophies and then wound up inside the Coliseum. There were rows of seats to the left and right and a large, flat platform in the middle. Each corner of the platform had a column with a small fire pit at the top.

Demyx was lazing on one of the seats, just playing his sitar. The music was soft, so I couldn't hear it very well. As Axel and I walked toward him, he looked up. "Took you two long enough."

"Let's just get started," I stated. I coolly walked to the middle of the platform and stood there as Axel and Demyx followed me.

"Do you even know how to summon your weapons?" Demyx asked skeptically.

I nodded and thought about my fans. They instantly appeared in each of my hands, closed. When I motioned to open them in front of me, icicles flew out toward Axel. He instantly blocked each icicle by summoning his chakrams and flaming them, creating a small fire shield, "Woah. Careful there."

"W-what happened?"

"Xemnas already told us that you can't control your powers," Demyx replied, "It's cool."

"I'm sorry Axel…"

"It's fine. Learning how to use your fans should also help you control your powers."

"Yeah. These weapons are special," Demyx stated, "They're made so that it'll control an element, either creating one through your personality, kinda like Larxene with lightning, or extending your original powers, like you with your random ice powers! We finally have a replacement for Vexen!"

"I can't wait to learn how to control my powers," I thought, smiling and ignoring the rest of Demyx's sentence. "I wonder what else these fans can do.."

I swung them and a large, horizontal crescent made of water flew at Demyx. Unfortunately, he didn't dodge it like Axel and got hit, making him fly backwards into one of the columns.

"Oww.." he groaned as he slowly slid down.

"We have one for you too," Axel commented.

"Hey! What does that mean?" he yelled at Axel, while standing up and patting himself off.

"Why can I have two elements? Is that even possible?" I asked.

"Apparently it is," Demyx responded, walking toward us.

"This is the first though," Axel stated, "It might be because ice and water are nearly the same element."

"But.. Aren't fans usually wind based?"

"Not for you I guess," Demyx answered, "Can we just get on with whatever you're supposed to do?"

Axel shot a glare at Demyx. As he shrunk back, Axel looked back to me, "Close your eyes and feel your element Kizu. In your case, elements."

I closed my eyes took in a long, deep breathe, letting the calming air go through my body. "It feels like.. I have a block of ice.. that's slowly melting into water… The sensation… is somewhat frightening..."

"Now control that power and wave one fan."

I nodded hesitantly and let the ice and water die down inside me. Then, I waved a fan. Nothing happened.

"Good. Now do that again, but allow your power out just a bit."

I nodded again, this time more confidently. "I can do this…" I let the power in my heart grow, but kept a firm grasp on its strength. I clenched my fan tightly, worrying about the result, and waved my fan again. But nothing happened.

"Try again."

Taking another deep breathe, I loosened my grip on my fan. "Calm down Kizu." After I felt myself let out just a bit more of my "ice," I waved my fan for the third time. And I felt the power welling up inside me. I peeked open one of my eyes to see an ice-made crescent floating in midair, inches in front of where I moved my fan. I smiled and let my heart jump in excitement.

But I lost control of my emotions. The crescent grew almost three times larger as it flew between Axel and Demyx into the rows of seats behind them. The crescent made a long, deep gash in the stone made seats and I gasped.

"Woah," Demyx said, looking back at the sight, "That woulda hurt."

"I lost my focus," I stated, shaking my head.

"We'll just continue practicing," Axel replied.

After that, Demyx, Axel and I met up nearly every day to practice. We never got a chance to go to the clock tower though. And the majority of the time, I was too tired to really go. So I didn't see Roxas or Xion much. I wonder how they're doing…
