Roxas and Namine walked hand in hand to the training room they thought Lumaria would be in. Despite training with Marluxia before, Roxas had never stepped a foot in this room, but he knew he didn't miss much. The room was just like every other training room, having several weights and dummies to practice melee attacks on. All the walls were plain white except for the one at the end of the room which was all glass and lead out to a large balcony to practice aerial attacks on.

"So you two finally decided to show up, did you?" Lumaria's voice said, but the two keybladers looked around, seeing him nowhere in sight.

"Show yourself!" Roxas yelled, stepping forwards as he did so. When he received no answer, he summoned Oblivion, quickly followed by Oathkeeper as he looked around for the assassin.

"Roxas, he is just trying to lure you in, don't listen to him," Namine stepped forward, placing a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder. Roxas looked to her and listened, lowering his weapons, but still read to fight Lumaria if he bothered to show himself. "Don't call him out like that, it will only make the situation worse."

"Why must you calm him so Namine? Is your bond really that special?" Lumaria's voice mocked. It was at this time when Roxas saw Lumaria's lone figure standing outside on the balcony, looking out at the dark sky before him. Roxas growled when he saw the lingering will and quickly ran to him with Namine not to far behind. When they made it outside, Lumaria continued saying, "I remember what it was like to have a bond that special with Arlene, until your pathetic friend took her away from me."

"Wait, Arlene is gone?" Namine asked. Her question made the will turn around as he spoke,

"Yes, your stupid friend turned lingering will trying to save that Princess of Heart. I was going to save her but he had already burned her to ashes by the time I got there."

"Serves her right if she was trying to hurt Kairi!" Roxas yelled, holding his weapons firmly in his hands since he knew that he had just angered the will.

However, Lumaria did not act how Roxas thought he would at first. Instead, the will began to laugh, but then summoned his keyblade that he used in the Keyblade War. (Lord of the Castle –Kingdom Hearts: HD 1.5 Remix) "Not a wise choice of words, Roxas," the will muttered, "Maybe if I take away your loved one, you will know what kind of pain I am going through!"

Namine only sighed to herself as Roxas and Lumaria prepared for battle and summoned her own keyblade. This is exactly what she told Roxas not to do, but she knew there was no stopping the fight now.

Lumaria was the one to make the first move, jumping towards the two, but closer to Namine. The former nobody managed to put a reflect shield around her and Roxas though, so both of them were safe from the assassin's attempts to attack them. Namine held the reflect shield up for as long as she could before she eventually stopped it, jumping back quickly so Lumaria would not impale her with his keyblade. Before the will could get any closer to Namine however, Roxas slashed the will with his keyblade quickly, since he was only about a foot away from the will right now. This attack made the will go flying, but it somehow managed to land on his feet and not seem hurt at all.

"Now be judged!" Lumaria yelled as he began to elevate into the air, holding his keyblade firmly in his hand as he did so. The will then threw his keyblade at Namine, who managed to avoid the attack by jumping back quickly. However, when Lumaria summoned his keyblade back to him and threw it at Roxas, the former nobody did not have time to avoid the attack and the keyblade hit him dead on. Once the keyblade hit him, an explosion of pink flower petals followed and floated down in the air as Roxas went flying backwards. As Roxas flew back however, he managed to land on the wall of the castle, using to his advantage to do a recovery, but he knew there had to be more than that from the will.

Once Lumaria come back down to the ground, he disappeared in a flash of the same pink flower petals and reappeared right behind Namine. The lingering will then managed to hit her once but she did a quick recovery and prepared for other attacks. It was a good thing she did however because Lumaria's will continued to disappear and reappear in many areas around her and Roxas, trying to get a sneak attack on them and slice them with his keyblade. But thankfully, all these other attempts Lumaria tried to perform on the two were either blocked or the other two keyblade bearers managed to avoid the blows. Once he was done teleporting, Lumaria let out a growl before he slammed his keyblade into the ground, creating a shock wave that hit both Namine and Roxas, sending them aback but they both managed to recover.

Once Lumaria brought his keyblade back up, he pointed it into the air and suddenly three pools of darkness appeared around him with pink petals floating above them. Roxas didn't seem to care however and ran towards the will, but stepped into one of the pools of darkness, but soon regretted his choice. This is because as soon as he stepped into the pool, he began to feel a deep pain soar through his body like electricity. This made the former member of Organization XIII cry out in pain as he fell on one knee, gasping for air. "Roxas!" Namine yelled as she quickly jumped into the air, heading towards Roxas. She then managed to grab onto the back of Roxas's armor and lift him, throwing him out of the pool as she did so. The special nobody then jumped towards Lumaria, who was standing in the center of the pools, and tried to attack him, but Lumaria brought up his keyblade to block her attack. The will then pushed Namine back into the air and fired a blast of wind mixed with his petals at her, knocking the wind out of her for a moment as she landed on the ground farther away from Roxas.

Roxas knew at that point that Namine was right; he shouldn't have called Lumaria out in battle like that. If he didn't, things might have been going smoother than this. But the former nobody knew that there was no going back now, he knew he didn't have a choice but to keep fighting.

Once the pools vanished, Lumaria ran towards him again, preparing to attack Roxas. This is when Roxas took in a deep breath, and then, in the blink of an eye, stabbed Oblivion and Oathkeeper into the ground, cracking the balcony into three separate sections. The section Roxas was on was thankfully still attached to the castle, so he was fine, but the part Lumaria was on cracked and fell into the dark abyss below, the will's cries being the only noise heard.

As soon as Lumaria's screams were no longer heard, Roxas heard the noise of Namine calling his name and quickly turned around. Roxas panicked when he saw Namine on another part of the balcony that was slowly cracking, almost about to fall off into the dark abyss just like Lumaria's had. In panic, Roxas ran over to Namine only to see the piece crack right in front of him, not falling off yet, but making the chunk of the balcony slant away from the rest of it. This sudden movement made Namine fall in the direction of the slant, almost falling off herself but she managed to stick her keyblade into the ground to prevent her from falling. Roxas was thankfully still on the piece of the balcony that was still attached to the castle, but it didn't matter, he needed to save his girlfriend. "Namine!" He yelled extending his hand out to her even though she was so far away.

Namine only shot a worried glance over to her boyfriend. "Roxas—" But she was cut off due to the piece of the balcony finally cracking and falling off into the deep abyss, taking the special nobody with her as she cried out his name.

"NO!" Roxas yelled as the piece of the balcony fell until it was no longer visible. Roxas couldn't move, even though he wanted to jump right after her, but he knew he couldn't. Namine just fell into that endless abyss of darkness; no one could survive the fall. And Namine just fell as well, meeting that fate face to face, gone.

As a tear fell from Roxas's eye, a voice echoed behind him saying, "Shame, I would have caught her."

Roxas's tensed at the sound of the voice as he turned around, seeing Lumaria's lingering will standing before him. "You do know that I have a keyblade rider correct? That fall was not a problem for me." The will continued.

Roxas did not reply and only stared at the lingering will. He was surrounded with sadness when Namine fell to her doom, but at the same time, he felt an overwhelming sense of strength come over him, almost like he had a reason to fight now: to avenge the one he loved. Without saying anything, Roxas summoned back his two keyblades, glaring at Lumaria the will to summoned his keyblade back into his hand. The two then charged at each other, both of them jumping high and pinning their keyblade's against one another's in midair. Roxas, having the advantage with two keyblades, managed to send Lumaria down, but the will only coughed in response, clearly not being hurt from the attack.

Once they were back on the ground, Lumaria ran up and slashed at Roxas's ankles, causing the keyblader to fall onto his back. The lingering will try to stab his keyblade into the blonde's head, but Roxas managed to roll out of the way and fire a blast of light right at the will's face with Oathkeeper. The will didn't seem fazed by this at all though and quickly summoned his keyblade back to him to block one of Roxas's other attempts to attack him, this attempt being a thrown keyblade at him. When Roxas got back up, he ran to the will, pinning his keyblade against Lumaria's but the lingering will managed to push Roxas back, the former nobody managing to stay on his feet, but pushed several feet away from the will.

"You didn't deserve her Roxas!" Lumaria mocked, which made Roxas freeze. "We could have used her to a much greater use, she could have been our thirteenth darkness for all we know, she could have been perfect."

Roxas glared at the will. "You're right," he admitted, "I didn't deserve her, but here's where you're wrong: she was already perfect!" Roxas then ran towards Lumaria again, pinning his keyblades against Lumaria, who only laughed evilly. This is when Roxas noticed however that Lumaria was only focused on him, not protecting the area around him. Roxas quickly used this to his advantage and took Oathkeeper off of Lumaria's keyblade and instead stabbed it in the will's side. This made the will cry out in pain and drop his keyblade, trying to pull Oathkeeper out of him but nothing worked. Roxas then took Oblivion and stabbed it right into Lumaria's chest, making the will cry out again and fall onto his knees. (End Lord of the Castle)

As soon as Roxas did that, he took several steps back and fell onto his behind, winded from the battle. As the former member of Organization XIII took in several breaths, he looked at where Lumaria kneeled, expecting him to fall over dead at any moment. But he was not expecting the will to somehow stand up, slowly but surely, and look right at Roxas. "You were close Roxas, but even this is not enough to defeat me!" Lumaria yelled, letting out a short cry as he summoned his keyblade, "You are never going to stop me! I am the Lord of Castle Ob—"

But then a blast of light came from behind Roxas and hit the will in the face, silencing him as he fell onto his knees. It was then when Namine jumped over Roxas and landed in front of Lumaria, stabbing her keyblade threw him before firing another blast of light at him. This ended Lumaria, but to make matters worse for him the blast of light sent him over the edge of what was left of the balcony, making him fall into the dark abyss below him.

As soon as she knew Lumaria was gone, Namine turned to face Roxas, unsummoning her keyblade in the process as she looked at her dumbfounded boyfriend. "I… I got nothing." Was the only thing Roxas could say.

"Lumaria is not the only one that had a keyblade rider you idiot," Namine joked as she walked over to Roxas and held out a hand to him, which he took gladly. As soon as he was standing again, Roxas immediately pulled Namine into a hug, embracing her as a silent tear fell from his eye.

"You don't even know how scared I was," he tensed, "I thought you died."

"I know," she comforted him, "But maybe this will teach you not to call out someone in battle like that."

Roxas laughed lightly at the joke as he grabbed Namine by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. Namine only smiled as she placed her hand behind his head, pulling him into a kiss as they continued to embrace.

However, the two both knew they had to stop because they still had a war to win.


I FINALLY UPDATED! ITS A MIRCALE!

By yeah, I am really sorry about the long gap. You see, I try to make something epic happen in each fight scene, but for some reason I couldn't think of one in this chapter. But then, I got some inspiration from another one of my favorite fandoms and managed to get this out. What fandom is it you ask? Iron Man 3, final battle with the Manderin sound familiar?
