A/N: 236 reviews….Wow. Y'know, before I even realize what's happening, I'll already be up to 300 :D! Yup-yup! Yay! So, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and I have one last thing to mention: Ok, so I have created a movie using the lion king and kingdom hearts clips, but I'm not done with the first scene. I should have it done soon, so if you would all be so kind to move over to youtube and check it out later? Thanks!

Roxas entered the white room that had all the drawings pasted onto the wall, one in particular capturing his attention. It was a picture of him with a Keyblade, him wearing a black coat like Axel's. He frowned, and all the sudden, a loud pitch sound rang out, causing him to cover his ears as he fell to his knees on the floor, a very distant memory returning to him.

Rain fell softly as Roxas walked down the streets of the City that Never Was. Neon lit signs were the only source of light as he walked through the streets, not once stopping. Not even when he noticed Axel and Hope standing off to the side from the corner of his eye. He continued on ahead, until Axel opened his mouth. "Your mind's made up?"

Roxas turned to look at the two over his shoulder. "Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know."

"Roxas!" Hope exclaimed in shock.

Axel pushed him self away from the wall, waving his hands around. "You can't turn on the Organization!"

The memory ended, and Roxas opened up his eyes, turning around to see Namine sitting at the table. "Organization XIII…They're a bad group."

"Bad or good, I don't know," Namine began, "They're a group of incomplete people who wish to be whole. To that end, they're desperately searching for something."

"What?"

"Kingdom Hearts." A new voice spoke. Roxas looked over to the door to see Hope moving over to them. She had managed to get away from Axel, but she knew that he would catch up to her soon, so she had to make her time quick.

Roxas laughed a bit, causing Hope and Namine to frown. "Something funny?"

"It's just, I think-I've been running away from the questions I really wanna ask: What's gonna happen to me now? Just tell me that. Nothing else really matters anymore."

Hope moved over to the blonde, giving him a sad smile. "Roxas…."

"You are…" Namine began, only to stop as she began to dissolve into data, surprising both Roxas and Hope.

"Namine!" Roxas exclaimed, both he and Hope gasping as the man in red appeared.

"There's no knowledge that has the power to change your fate."

"Even if it doesn't, I wanna know. I have the right to know!" Roxas exclaimed.

"A Nobody doesn't have a right to know. Nor does it even have the right to be." DiZ stated.

"That may be, but that still leaves one thing: If Nobodies were never meant to be, then why do they exist?" Hope inquired, earning DiZ's attention.

DiZ frowned at her, before his eyes widened somewhat, and he gave a silent gasp. He was soon broken from his thoughts as Roxas asked the more important question. "But what IS a Nobody?"

Just then, Ansem popped in. "DiZ, we're out of time. Too many Nobodies!" He turned to look over at Roxas, jumping in surprise when he saw Hope. "The Hacker!"

"So…they really did manage to find us…" Hope mumbled silently.

A dark portal opened and Namine walked out. "Roxas. Nobodies like us are only half a person. You won't disappear. You'll be whole!"

"I'll…disappear…?"

"No further outbursts!" DiZ exclaimed, grabbing Namine and trying to pull her back through the portal.

"No, you WON'T disappear!" Namine exclaimed, only to have DiZ cover her mouth with his hand.

"Wait!" Roxas exclaimed, running forward to help, only to have Ansem jump in front of him to stop him.

"Roxas! We will meet again. And then we can talk about everything. I may not know it's you, and you may not know it's me. But we will meet again. Someday soon. I promise! Hope will tell you the rest of what you need to know! Ask her!" Namine exclaimed as she began to disappear through the portal.

"Let her go! Namine!" Roxas exclaimed as the portal disappeared, leaving only Hope and Roxas behind. Roxas stared at the floor in silence for a moment before turning around to face Hope. "You seem to know as much as Namine does. Tell me…who's Organization XIII?"

Hope sighed, looking over at the wall, where a drawing of her, Axel, and Roxas was pasted. "They're a group of very bad Nobodies. Almost a year ago, I was kidnapped by them, and was kept there against my own will and with my will. You see…I knew several of them before they became Nobodies. I figured…that if I stayed and helped out, that just maybe….MAYBE I could help them and fix everything. But….it wasn't until it was too late to get out that I realized that I had made the most stupidest mistake in the world. My heart…is a weapon that, if it were to ever fall in the wrong hands…well, there's no telling what would befall the worlds if such a thing were to ever happen. So, I ran away and after you to make sure that they didn't find us. I thought that if we just stayed here, they wouldn't find us at all and just give up on us. But I was wrong." Hope explained, stopping and leaning against the wall as they walked out of the drawing room.

Roxas frowned, scratching the back of his head slightly. "But what is a Nobody?" Roxas asked as they continued to walk up the next set of stairs.

"Like Namine said, Nobodies are only half a person. They're like normal people, but they lack one thing."

"What?"

"A heart. Nobodies can't feel emotion. They only remember what it was like to feel, and that's it."

"I don't get it though…how come I'm connected to Sora? I've never even met the guy?"

"Because, Roxas….Sora is your Somebody. You came from Sora. You are Sora, the same that Sora is you. That's why he needs you, Roxas. Without you, Sora can never be whole. And neither can you."

Roxas and Hope walked into the library room of the mansion, Roxas walking over to the table with a picture in his hand and a yellow crayon, completing the design, and the underground level of the basement appearing. Roxas and Hope moved down the stairs and into the computer room. Hope stared over at the transporter to the real outside world while Roxas moved over to the many computer monitors, grunting in pain as another memory popped up.

Several figures sat in a white room, several of them with their coats hoods up, while several left them down. Hope and Axel sat together in one seat, while Roxas sat in one across from them. And then, he was running away from several dusks as they chased after him through the alley ways of the City that Never was.

"Why! Why do you have the Keyblade?"

"Shut-up!" Roxas exclaimed, only to be knocked back and out cold.

"Will it work?" Ansem asked as they sat Roxas in the transporter.

"If we can maintain the simulated town until Namine finishes chaining together Sora's memories."

"What will happen to Roxas?"

"He holds half of Sora's power within him. In the end, he'll have to give it back. Until then, he'll need another personality to throw off his pursuers."

"Poor thing."

"It's the fate of a Nobody."

Roxas opened his eyes and glared up at the computer screens. He stood up and summoned his Keyblade. Hope watched in silence as he smashed the screens, destroying them until they were all smashed up. They both turned their attention to a door that opened up, both of them walking through it to be met with several Dusks. Roxas looked over at Hope and watched her as she summoned her sword. She gave Roxas a look that said 'let's do this' before she ran forward and slashed at one, getting rid of it quickly. The two fought side by side, until there weren't anymore enemies to fight.

"Simply amazing, Roxas." Axel said as he walked into the room, his arms crossed across his chest, he glanced over at Hope as she stood off to the side.

"Axel." Roxas began.

"You really do remember me this time?" He gave Roxas a short sweet glance before it turned into one of anger. "I'm SO FLATTERED!" Axel exclaimed, summoning a wall of flames, causing Hope grunt as the heat hit her face, causing her to cover her face as she watched helplessly from the outside of the ring of fire. "But you're too late!" Roxas summoned Oathkeeper and Oblivion, surprising Axel. "Two!" Axel put his hands up in the air, and the wall of fire became higher, both Chakrams appearing in his hands as he looked up at Roxas with a smirk.

Hope thought for a moment before growling slightly. She summoned her sword and shot her hand out at the fire blocking her out, focusing all her strength on it, allowing it to open. She quickly ran forward and inside, her eyes widening as she saw her two friends standing across from each other, each on in a stance. "C'mere, I'll make it all stop! BURN!" Axel exclaimed, throwing a Chakram at Roxas, who blocked.

Axel jumped out of the flames, leaving Roxas glancing around warily, before Axel jumped back in and towards Roxas. "ROXAS!" Hope screamed as she saw Roxas knocked to the floor. Without thinking she ran forward and shot a ball of energy at Axel, causing him to grunt as it pushed him back a few feet. He looked up to see Hope standing in front of Roxas as he got back up, both of them glaring at Axel. Axel growled and jumped up, shooting flames at the two.

"GET BACK!" He exclaimed, jumping up and around them, knocking both of them back.

Hope ran forward her sword in hand. "Axel, stop this, please!" Hope pleaded, blocking another attack sent at her.

"Get out of the way, Hope!" Axel screamed, jumping over and at Roxas. The battle ensued between the three friends, most of the fighting being done by Axel and Roxas. Hope's breathing became heavy as the frustration, anger, and sadness grew, all of it soon becoming too much for Hope to handle. "AARRRRRRGHHH! STOP IT!"

Her words were of good use, because as soon as they were said, the two stopped, Axel losing. He fell to the floor and the fire died down, Roxas staring at Axel while Hope ran over to him, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. All the while, Roxas stared at the two, another distant memory coming back to him.

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!" Axel exclaimed.

"No one would miss me." Roxas stated, causing Axel to frown and Hope to fall to her knees. Roxas moved forward again, not once sparing them a second glance.

"That's not true….We would."

Roxas pulled the charm that Hope had given him out and stared at it sadly before looking up at the two. "Axel, Hope…."

Hope looked over at Roxas while Axel stared up at him, giving him a small smile. "Let's meet again in the next life."

"Yeah. I'll be waiting." Roxas said, a smile appearing onto his face.

Hope waved at Roxas as a dark portal consumed her and Axel. "Silly. Just because you have a next life…"

And with those last words, they were gone, leaving Roxas behind to face his fate. He walked past the pods that held Donald and Goofy, and into the room that held Sora inside it, speaking with DiZ one last time and trying to rid of him, only to find that he was just a hologram. Finally, the pod opened up, revealing a sleeping Sora inside of it.

Roxas's theme begins to play~

"Sora…You're lucky." Roxas said, a sad smile appearing on his face as he moved closer and stared up at Sora. "Looks like my summer vacation is…over."

Kingdom Hearts II

Axel grunted as we walked out from the portal, his arm slung over my shoulders as I helped him out and into the real Twilight Town. I leaned him up against a wall, carefully helping him to the ground. We both smelt of smoke, and in a way, it made me feel…calm and happy in a way. "Axel, why? Why would you try and hurt him?"

He looked up at me with those piercing green eyes. "Orders…"

I frowned. "I thought you never took orders that involved hurting someone that was your friend."

"What, would you have rather had Xemnas sent Xaldin, or worse: Xigbar? Or maybe even Saix? Then what would you have done, huh? You wouldn't have been able to get away from them now, would you?"

I glared hard at him as his words hit me, sounding bitter and angry. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"No, what's wrong with you? What the hell were YOU thinking, Hope?" He grabbed my wrist, and held it tightly, enough to the point where it stung somewhat.

"Let me go…"

"You thought that no one would miss you? No one cared? You thought it was ok to just leave us? LEAVE ME?" The words that time stung more than before. Actually, they felt like a large sack of bricks hitting me. What's worse…is that his anger seemed to only fume at my silence. "ANSWER ME!"

And like any other girl would do when put under so much pressure, I cried. Yes, I cried. I sobbed uncontrollably, and he let my wrist go as I fell forward and into his chest, wrapping his arms around me. "I-I'm s-so s-sorry! I'M SORRY!"

0o0o0o

"I'M SORRY!" Hope wailed, Axel hugging her and rocking them back and forth gently as she cried.

Axel began to feel a bit guilty. He hadn't meant to make her cry, but then again, she was a sensitive person. He pressed a tired, soft kiss in her hair as she shook gently from her sobs. After several more minutes of crying, she looked up at Axel, her eyes red and watery. Axel leaned forward and pressed his forehead against Hope's, closing his eyes. "Promise me you'll never leave me like that again?"

Hope pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I promise."

A/N: Gah, this felt short! But I like how it went! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
