Axel
I blocked another one of my Heartless' sword attacks but I wasn't going to last much longer at this rate. The giant suit of armour with flaming swords definitely was my Heartless but it seemed way stronger than I was.
"The original is always better than a cheap copy, got it memorized." I taunted as I flipped over another double lunge from my attacker throwing my two Keyblades. 'Man I wish Roxas was here.'
My Heartless lunged forward once again and I jumped left pushing its right blade to the side with Dancing Flames. I through Bond of Flame at the Heartless on fire sending it back a few feet. When the Keyblade returned to my hand I had barely enough energy to stand, let alone fight.
"Bring it on big boy." I shouted not moving from my spot, and of course it obliged. "Shit."
I saw a flash of Light and then a cloud of Darkness. I had been braced for the worst but someone must have spared me my fate. In front of me was a girl in similar armour to Aquas except all the blue was now gold, the steel was purple and her gloves were blue with black fingers. In her hand she held the Keyblade of Peoples Heart except it seemed different. All the black was purple and the red was gold, plus the Heart shape had been complete with an identical piece, it even had a keychain with a golden star medallion at the bottom.
"Thanks, the names Lea, got it memorized?" I said extending my armoured arm out towards her. She turned around and sent her Keyblade away to shake my hand.
"My names Namine, it's nice to see you again." She said as we shook. "Looks like we've both learnt a few new tricks since the last time we met."
"It looks like we have Namine, but I thought you had merged with Kairi." I said as she hit her shoulder. She was wearing yellow tight fitting shorts, a white tank top with thick sleeves that hung off her shoulder and a courset like pattern around her waist, a blue x shaped band with a golden star as a latch, a blue bracelet on her right wrist and a long white sleeve like Kairis and Aqua's with a golden and purple armour piece.
"I thought I would too, but when a Nobody merges with their Somebody their sent to the realm between until they're killed off." She said shrugging off the fact like it was nothing. "So have you found Roxas yet?"
"No, I didn't know we should have even been looking." I said turning my armour off too. "He'll probably be on top of the Clock Tower."
"I thought so to, but I didn't find any…" she trailed off as her head turned towards the top of the tower. I looked up and saw a combination of Light and Dark billowing from the tower.
After it had subsided a man in a black cloak stood at the top of the building. I couldn't see much detail but I knew he was from the organization.

The Hood
The man in a hood looked out over the sky, watching the sunset. He stood proud for once which we both know doesn't happen often. He looked down and saw red spikey hair next to a near yellow head. He almost jumped down then shook his head.
"Maybe she's at the ice cream shop." He said continuing to look down at the two companions before they ran into the building. "I'll go check there."
He jumped off and started to glide towards a metal gateway then landed on the other side. he walked down the slope of a ramp with an unnatural amount of enthusiasm for our friend, at least that's what I think. When he reached a shop that read ice cream at the bottom of the ramp he walked up to the woman behind the counter.
"Has anyone ordered Sea Salt Ice Cream here today?" He asked, leaning in intently towards the woman. "It's really important."
"Sorry but no." She said in a sympathetic voice. "You look kind of familiar, did you used to live around here?"
"Sort of, only for a few days." He said walking in his usual slumped over manner. "It's nice to see you again though."
"I really am sorry." She said as he walked away. "Hey if you find your friend why don't you stop by."
"I'll do that." The man said straitening up a little bit. "Hey, a guy with red spikey hair will be coming by soon, I'm going to pay for his and his friend's ice cream now."

Lea
No one had been on the roof when Namine and I had gotten there so we were walking down the hill to find a good place to use our Keyblade Gliders.
"Hey, red hair, a man stopped by and paid for you and your friends ice cream." A woman behind the ice cream shop counter said. "He said that it's your favourite."
I turned around to see that the woman was holding two sticks of Sea Salt Ice Cream. 'That is my favourite.'
"Thanks, and if you see them again tell them that I said so." I said as I took the sticks and handed one to Namine. "See you around."
"That's where I know him from." She said as I was about to walk away. "He used to come here with you and someone else to get ice cream every day. I could barely see his face but that coat and voice just gave it away."
"Roxas!" Namine and I exclaimed in unison.

The man in the hood is Roxas, who would have thought. I realised that I was getting really obvious with this character so I decided to reveal who he really was in this chapter. Of course Roxas has blue eyes, not yellow. You'll just have to keep reading to figure out what's going on.
