So this is a dream. Its not actually happening. I kind of had to explain because some people get confused. Challenge; If any one can figure out what is going to happen in the rest of the story (warning: Its LONG ~50-60 chapters ish) I will put up all of the chapters I have (~35). SOPHIA! NO CHEATING. YOU CAN'T RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE! Sophia is my beta reader ( a.k.a pikacu203). Enjoy!

I own nothing.

Chapter 2: Sea Salt Ice Cream

My fingers flew across the three keypads. I didn't look at them though; I was too preoccupied with the dozens of monitors in front of me. Line of code flew past on the screen. Most people would be baffled by the code and wouldn't be able to keep up since the code was moving so fast but, my keen eye caught every line.

A few minutes passed, the code stopped, and a window popped up and demanded a password. I entered an algorithm that would hopefully allow me to pass into the mainframe. Lines and lines of code passed before my eyes. Minutes later the window popped up again. I sat back and thought back to that one week I spent with Ansem a mere six months ago. It may have been only six months but it felt like years.

"If you attempt to leave my companion here will kill you, Nobody." Ansem said as he rose from his chair in front of the monitors and keypads.

"My name is Ansem," a man wearing the same black outfit as I, black cloak, pants, t-shirt and gloves all of the like. His voice was familiar and I recognized it straight away and it and I knew something was wrong.

"Oh please! Not even he buys that." I replied motioning to the man at the computer.

"No. Your name is Riku. And, correction Ansem," I told them.

"I'm only half Nobody. I have a heart but, was never meant to exist." I stated and noticed that Riku was staring at me quizzically from under his hood.

"Fascinating, but my prior statement still applies." Ansem stated.

"Actually, I believe that Riku is having second thoughts about that. Oh yes, you do recognize me." I taunted.

"Remove your hood." Riku demanded.

"Certainly, that is, if you remove yours." I countered.

He hesitated for a moment but his curiosity overcame his refusal to give the Organization any information and removed his hood.

"Oh Riku, you always have to beat Sora don't you, one way or another." I said with a sigh. I then removed my hood and my long sliver braid fell onto my shoulder.

"Y…Y…You're that woman from Hook's ship, and Castle Oblivion!" he said with amazement.

"And you apparently didn't follow my advice." I said. I knew that something was wrong. When he removed his hood, for a moment, I almost thought that he was my boss, Xheanort, not the Riku I had met before.

Footsteps coming down the metal staircase brought me back to the present, but that memory reminded me of something I did for Ansem during that week that I knew him. I felt a grin move across my face as I entered a fifteen letter password, it worked.

As the footsteps reached the bottom of the stairs I spun the chair around and asked" Miss me much?"

"Elizabeth!" Mic cried as he jumped into my open arms. Man I missed that mouse.

"Where've you been?" Hayner asked, a white teen with blond hair wearing camo cargo pants and a black t-shirt that had a white skull and cross-bones.

"Yeah. We haven't seen you since that incident with Kiry." Hayner said.

"Sorry guys I can't tell you. It's… confidential." I replied.

"Elizabeth but… how'd you escape?" Mic asked.

"Axel." was all I said, but he understood.

"No more questions please. Time is wasting and our window of opportunity is closing." I said as Pence, a rather chubby kid in black kakis and a red shirt, opened his mouth to ask a question.

"I already have access to the main frame and I am now uploading the program to transfer us to the virtual Twilight Town, and no, Hayner, Pence, and Oltte, you guys can't come. It's too dangerous, you are under equipped, you have nowhere near enough experience, and frankly, we want to be as invisible as possible which means smaller party. Have I made myself clear?" I stated.

"Geeze. When'd you get all up tight?" Hayner asked.

Sora, a teen with spikey brown hair, baggy black pants and a red T, placed his hand on Hayner's shoulder and spoke for me, "It's a long story and we don't have time for it right now."

"Pence, could you come here? Okay when I say 'now' you press the enter key to activate the program." I asked him.

I gave my seat to Pence and said "K guys pile on the pad" as I pointed to a niche in the wall where there was a beam of light that stopped about two and a half feet from the raised platform.

"Now." I commanded. The last thing I saw before the world went white was Pence pressing a key.

When I opened my eyes we were in the exact same place, with some major differences.

Hayner, Pence, and Oltte were gone and the monitors and key pads were smashed. We all climbed out and looked at the broken monitors.

"Roxas did this." Sora solemnly stated.

"I know." I replied as I remembered one of those days before all of this was set in motion, when things were simple. I was sitting at the top of Station Plaza looking at the never ending sunset. I could see my silver hair out of the corner of my eyes and felt my black uniform against my skin.

"So Siax let you off early today." A deep masculine voice said behind me, Axel. If it was anyone else I would have jumped up to face them. I turned around to see a tall man wearing the same black uniform as I with that fiery red hair of his that came back in large spikes.

"No," I told him as I noticed Roxas, a small teen with spiked blond hair going every which way wearing the uniform, coming up Axel's six o'clock position.

"You're just late, like always." I continued.

"One day he will run out of those idiotic exercises he puts me thought." I said as I turned back to the sunset.

"And one more thing, what did I tell you?" I said showing that I was a little annoyed that Roxas was getting the better of him.

"I know, I know 'Never put your entire being into an attack'." He said mimicking my voice.

"No, Pea brain." I said as I knew that Roxas was a few feet from Axel's back.

"Always watch you six." I stated as I turned around to see his face. Axel had a moment of confusion before it hit him, literally. Roxas jumped from his crouching position and knocked Axel to the ground. We all roared with laughter and I remembered that I needed to get back to the present.

"We need to keep moving." I said moving towards an empty doorway that I lead to the room where the doorway to Betwixt and Between was. The room had the same metal walls and the floor was a green glowing square bull's-eye. In the northeast corner was swirling the green and black portal that leads to Betwixt and Between. We all crowded around the portal and hesitated before entering.

Sora was the first to make a move to enter the portal but before he reached it I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "I've got your back."

Unlike them, I knew what was waiting for us at the other side. He nodded and we all filed through the portal to a tunnel with an invisible floor. The only way that we knew that it was here was the shimmering of the floor every time we took a step. I took a glance at the multi-pastel-colored-circular walls and saw the white emblem of the Organization. Something was out of place but I couldn't put my finger on it. I immediately began my routine of checking for exists and then it hit me, there was none. No way to reach the Organization's stronghold without conjuring a corner door of darkness and alerting them to our presence if they haven't already spotted us.

Sora, Donald, Goofy and Mic weren't aware of the imminent danger and began walking to the center of the tunnel before I could alert them. As soon as I caught up to them we were surrounded by Dusks, silver bodies in a human like form except for the fact that they had square heads, a zipper for a mouth, knives for hands and the Organization's emblem on the top of its head. We all drew our weapons, I had my light cabers, Donald had his wand, Goofy had his shield and Sora and Mic had their keyblades. We fought for hours but the swarm grew no thinner.

"Come on! Give us a break already!" Sora yelled in frustration. No! Please tell me that you didn't just say that! I thought as I spun around to see a Dusk advance on Sora's six o'clock. Before I could reach Sora, Axel jumped from a summoned corner door and destroyed the Dusk with his charkas.

"Keep moving or the darkness will overtake you!" He yelled moments before a dozen Dusks tackled him to the ground. Sora and I raced over to him and killed the Dusks.

We helped him up and he said, "Keep moving."

"Where's Kiry?!" Sora asked.

"She got away from me and Siax got her," Axel confessed. Sora ran off to rejoin the fight.

Axel attempted to follow him but I forced him to face me and I reminded him," Remember what I've always told you."

"Why?" He asked skeptically staring at me with those deep green eyes of his.

"Just don't ever do it, okay?" I begged him. For a moment he searched my eyes for an explanation but I saw that he came to his own conclusion, and I have a feeling that it was the right one. He kissed my forehead and ran after Sora.

"If he lives I'll kill him!" I said to myself. I rejoined the fight with a renewed sense of purpose. I had to be able to change this one thing, it was too important. We fought and fought until Sora, Axel, and I were back to back to back.

"I think I liked it better when they were on my side." Axel sated.

"Axel…" I warned him.

"Feeling a little… regret?" Sora said thinking that he couldn't feel.

"Sora, don't taunt him" I said knowing what was to happen next.

"Na, I can take these guys," Axel replied. I tried to run ahead of him but he grabbed me and passionately kissed me on the lips.

He then pushed me into Sora and said, "Whatever you do, don't let her come after me."

"No!" I screamed trying to escape from Sora's grasp.

"What the hell is your problem? He just said…" Sora said as he turned me around. He cut himself off when he saw a tear run down my cheek.

"He's about to do something really stupid isn't he?" All I could do is nod in reply. His grip relaxed and I tore after Axel, but before I could take two steps everything went white and I heard my name being called in the distance. "Helen, get up. We're here."

Thanks for reading! Sorry that I killed him off. I really hated writing that, but its going to happen. Don't worry he'll be back very soon...
