You had woken up earlier than usual the next day. You weren't sure when Xion's mission to fight the Veil Lizard was, so you needed to make sure you were with Xion in the mornings so you knew what mission it would be. Luckily today, the day after Roxas woke up, is the day Xion would receive the mission.
You're sitting down on the sofa, still half asleep, with not many people around. Saix was at the window, Xigbar was relaxing on another sofa, and Demyx was playing his Sitar. You were soon given a small wake up call however by a familiar voice. "Are you ok (Y/N)?" You jump on the spot slightly before turning your head to see Xion. She gave you a worried look.
"Yeah, i'm fine. Just woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep." You give her a reassuring smile, and she smiles back. Xion sits beside you on the sofa and you begin to talk. After some time has passed and more people are waking up you walk up to Saix to receive your missions.
"Number XV shall be going to Agrabah to collect hearts. Number XIV, you shall go to Twilight Town to eliminate an unidentified heartless." Xion nods but you look up at Saix. "Could I go with Xion to fight the heartless?"
Number VII looks at you with a questioning look. "And why would you want to do that?" You stare back at him with a calm expression, although inside you're afraid your idea will fail. "Well if it's unidentified then we don't know how strong it could be, so it would be better to send two members to fight it. Also I could still collect hearts in Twilight Town while we search for the heartless."
Saix continues to stare down at you for a moment before walking away. Xion looks at you and tilts her head slightly. "How come you wanna come with me?" You shrug slightly before smiling at her. "I just think it would be better than only you going to fight whatever this thing is. You could get hurt pretty bad." Xion returns the smile, seeming happy that you care about her well being, but it soon fades as she sees Saix returning.
"The Superior has allowed you to join Number XIV on their mission, however you must still reach the heart quota. You nod at Saix before walking to Moogle to buy some items. Once you and Xion are prepared you both head to Twilight Town.
As you walk around, the two of you talk like usual. You're conversations are sometimes interrupted by heartless popping up but there wasn't much problem. After filling the heartless quota you both begin to search for the target.
"Let's check the forest." You suggest as your keyblade fades away after your last fight. "Why the forest?" Asks Xion as she walks over to you. "Well I heard that there's been a bunch of weird rustling in the trees lately, maybe that's the heartless?" It wasn't the best excuse, however it was good enough to get Xion to agree with you. You both make your way to the forest and talk.
When you enter the forest Xion was laughing from your Saix impression. You spoke in a fake deep voice and had your fingers pressed against your face to make an X shape. "You will go here and collect hearts like you do every day. You will go destroy useless orbs. I will stand here and stare at the moon." Xion laughs harder and gently pushes you.
"Haha! Sounds just like him!" You smile at Xion but let your hands drop to your sides when the trees begin to rustle. You look up and see something quickly dash towards the Mansion. "That's the target!" Exclaims Xion as she charges towards the Mansion, her keyblade appearing in her hand. You nod and quickly follow after her.
When you arrive you are greeted by the Veil Lizard. You start of by using your magic, and let out a barrage of Fire's at the heartless. This caught it's attention. Xion charges forward and swings her keyblade at the monster, but it swings it's tail in response and knocks her away. Next you charge at it. You jump over it's tail and land on it's back. You slice at it's back which causes it to stand up on it's back legs. You fall off and hit the ground with an Oof! Once you've returned to your feet and regained your balance, you see Xion swings at the Lizard. You prepare to charge forward but are knocked back by it's tail and hit to the ground again.
After once again standing up, you look around to find the heartless gone. Xion looks just as confused as you, but your answer to where the heartless is is soon answered by it reappearing behind Xion. Before you can shout out to her, the heartless has already caught her using it's weird tongue. It pulls her closer and then slices at her with it's claws, causing her to yell in pain. You try charge forward to try help her but are hit by it's eye lasers.
You get up from the ground and see the Veil Lizard knock Xion away with it's tail. With your body feeling weak, you can now feel the Limit Power. You charge forward and activate the Limit. You perform multiple swings and attacks on the Heartless, easily dodging any attacks it does by using your short speed boost. Once the Limit is over you jump away and the Lizard is finished off by a Fire Spell from Xion. After the Heart floats into the sky you walk over to Xion and collapse beside her.
"I hate. Fighting. These big guys." Xion nods before letting herself fall backwards and onto the ground. "Thanks for... coming with me (Y/N)..." You smile and turn your head to look at Xion. You're both breathing and panting heavily after the difficult and painful fight. "No problem..."
Well it looks like your plan worked, and- "Actually... there is..." Oh damn it. Please don't say it... "I... I can't summon my keyblade..." You sit up and almost face palm. Xion originally lost the ability to use the keyblade because Roxas was taking back his power. From what you believe, it looks like she could still use it to begin with, but due to the difficult fight she used up what little power she had and has now lost her ability. You do have a plan on what to do about the power problems, however that must wait till later.
You sit back up and smile at Xion. "Don't worry, let's head up to the clock tower and ask talk to Roxas. We can figure out what to do then." Xion still looked worried but got up too. You hand her a potion and you both heal up before buying some ice cream and heading to the clock tower.
Once you arrive at the clock tower you find Roxas already sitting there. "Whoa, what happened?" He says as he sees you two. Your hair was a complete mess and even had some blades of grass stuck in it. Xion looked similar except she had actually taken the pieces of grass out of her hair. She giggles slightly after noticing the grass and then sits down. "Stupid lizard heartless." You mumble as you sit beside Xion.
Xion begins to remove the grass from your hair as you eat your ice cream. Once that's done she begins to eat her own and you all talk. Soon, however, the inevitable conversation topic comes. "I... can't use my keyblade..." She whispers out, which causes Roxas to look at her with a shocked expression. "Seriously!?" She replies with a small nod as she stares down at her ice cream.
"Don't worry, I got any idea." The two nobodies looked at you with a confused look. "We'll just make sure Xion has one of us in her missions, that way we can work double duty until she can use her keyblade again. No one will know she can't use it." Xion smiles and nods in approval of the plan, and Roxas soon nods too.
The three of you continue to talk and you share your amazing impressions with Roxas, who finds them just as funny. After some time has passed you RTC and all return to your rooms.
When you lay down in bed you've for a large smile on your face, but it soon fades as your body begins to ache. You had been blocking out all the pain you had been feeling from after that fight. Video games make it look so easy.
