A/N: The dream is pretty crazy wouldn't you say? If you guys didn't know what it meant, you're about to find out. But I gotta warn yea, things are about to get insane. Those of you with weak continuations may want to leave...I'm just kidding, I always wanted to say that.

World: Twilight Town

I sit on my seat, legs crossed while looking down at the star charm in my hand, as the train travels on its tracks. I am currently in Twilight Town, coming here to find answers to that dream I had last night. I know this city had some answers, since an old event such as that picnic happened in this world, and I didn't even knew about Twilight Town back then, I'm sure Terra, Ven and Aqua didn't know as well.

While the train moves, I hear the other passengers whispering about me.

'Whose the guy in black?'

'Is he a traveler?'

'Never seen him around here.'

'Is he part of Seifer's gang?'

I don't bother with their comments. I just focus my attention on the charm in my hand. I know it's not Kairis, cause I've seen this charm before. Back in Castle Oblivion when Sora had his memories wrecked. I wasn't there from the start, but when I overheard from Organization XIII that the Keyblade Master was there, I know something was up and I had to protect Ventus. I only caught up to the sixth floor when Sora started "remembering" Naminé.

I am aware of Naminé. A witch who has a power over memories. What didn't make sense is how I could have been immune to Naminé's memory changes. While Donald, Goofy and Riku's memories about Sora changed, I remain the same. I even still remember everything about Sora when Naminé took apart his memories while it caused everyone else to forget about him. Not only that, but when Xion is gone, I'm the only one who remembers everything about her, while everyone else forgotten like she never even existed in the first place. Naminé also still remembers but she doesn't count since she's a memory witch.

It's like I have immunity over memory power.

When Naminé put Sora asleep to fix his memories, she asked Riku and I to help her out. I wasn't fond with Riku at first cause I only saw him as an enemy in the darkness, but when Naminé explained to me what happened, I decided to distrust him from a distance.

Naminé kept this charm as a sign of regret for her mistake of what she's done to Sora. I still remember our last conversation back in the Old Mansion.

[Flashback]

"Riku! Patrick! You both know what to do." DiZ said to us.

DiZ, who's really Ansem the Wise, gave Riku and me an assignment that must be done. It's been too long since Sora's been asleep and Naminé is at a stand still on her work. Knowing the block DiZ told Riku to find Roxas and bring him here, while I take care of Xion.

Riku has already left to the World That Never Was to find Roxas. I was just about to depart until I find Naminé sitting on the bench on the mansion courtyard. He's looking down at the star charm she made. I approach Naminé.

"Something on your mind?" I ask.

Naminé looks up. "Oh...it's you." She looks back down at the charm. "Nothing's wrong."

I sit right next to Naminé. "It's about Sora isn't it?"

Naminé nods slowly. "It's all my fault he's like this. He lost his memories. How could he even forget me after all I've done? I'm just like all the other Nobodies: Horrible."

"You really shouldn't blame yourself like that. You really had no other choice. Marluxia and Larxene forced you into this." I say. "You saved Sora and you're going to fix him, isn't all that matters?" Naminé doesn't say anything. "You should at least be grateful he can be saved." I look down in shame. "I couldn't save Aqua from being taken by the darkness, and now she's dead."

Naminé looks at me surprised. "I'm sorry. I didn't know about that."

"It's nothing to apologize for. The burden is mine to bear." I say. "The point is Sora can still be saved, and you're the one who can save him. You shouldn't focus on the mistakes you made. You should try to move forward. All mistakes can be fixed, and that's what you are doing with Sora."

Naminé smiles. "I never thought of it like that." Naminé looks at the charm in her hand. "I've always kept this...cause it was a symbol of my mistake."

"Well, it doesn't have to be like that." I unclasp the Wayfinder and hold it in front of me. "When Aqua made this Wayfinder, she told me and my friends that somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit. It represents an unbreakable connection. As long as you carry good luck charmed shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other."

"The sounds very nice." Naminé. "But...If your friends have charms like that, wouldn't you be able to find them?"

I smile disappears and I look ahead. "Terra and Ventus maybe, but...it's already too late for Aqua. She's gone and there's nothing I can do to bring her back."

Naminé shook her head. "Don't give up. I'm sure she's still out there. She's probably waiting for you."

I think about that for a moment. "Yeah...maybe your right." I look up at the sky. "I hope so."

[Flashback ends]

Naminé's talk did boost me some hope that Aqua really was still alive, but it was only so little. That's when the revival item dropped by Father Scrooge took place.

After that dream, I put everything in place: The picnic in Twilight Town. The Old Mansion in the place of Castle Oblivion. Kairi giving me this charm Naminé made. I wonder how Naminé could even have the power to control dreams. I did once heard this during my Mark of Mastery exam in the Dream Worlds: Dreams hold our memories. If that's true, then it's possible Naminé would have to power to control dreams using the memories within them.

If she really is behind all this, then I guess she needs to see me.

"THE TRAIN WILL ARRIVE SHORTLY."

The person on the speaker says as the train arrives at the station. The doors slide open and all the passengers leave the train. I'm the last one to leave. I also walk right out of the station. It's winter as well in Twilight Town. It's a good thing I'm still in my winter get up, even if it's just a hat and my coat zipped up.

Outside the train station, I look up at the clock tower. It's been a year since I last walked into this world. I still remember my battle against Xion. Even though it was mission to destroy her, I fought with mercy. Even in the end, when she's fading away in my arms, she asked me for one last favor:

'All those hearts I captured...Kingdom Hearts...set them free.'

I fulfilled her wish by destroying the Organization. After having enough memorial, I continue on, making my way to the Old Mansion. I make my way through the town until I arrive at the Sandlot. When I arrive, I notice something going on.

"Ow!" Hayner is on the ground with Seifer in front of him. Pence and Olette are right behind Hayner, looking terrified at the event that's happening.

"That'll teach you not to mess around in my town!" Seifer says.

I'm aware of Seifer. I've seen him a few times around whenever I have a mission by DiZ in this world. Even only seeing him for only a minute every month or so, I can already tell the kind of person who he is.

"Leave him alone!" Olette says.

"Quiet you!" Seifer looks down at Hayner. "This is my town. If you're not gonna follow the rules!" Seifer holds his struggle mallet back. "Then you will be punished!"

Olette gasps, and Pence looks away. Seifer makes the strike. Hayner closes his eyes, waiting for the impact, but nothing happens. Hayner looks up, Seifer seems surprised to see me grabbing his wrist, stopping his attack.

"She said leave him alone." I tell Seifer in a hostile tone.

I shove Seifers arm away. We both stand in front of each other, staring at each other in hostile. "Just who do you think you are?" Seifer asks.

"Doesn't matter who I am, but I know who you are. You say you own this town, but really you are just some bully picking on kids who can barely fight back." I say.

Seifer looks offended hearing that. "What did you say?! You've got some nerve, I'll admit. But I'm warning you, I am Seifer! The strongest person in Twilight Town! I also happen to be the champion of Struggle!"

"What I really see is just some coward hiding behind his silly little title." I shoot at him.

That crowd gasps, letting out 'Oohs.' Seifer's expression is shocked as he stuttering. "How...how dare you! If you are going to run your mouth out like that, you are ready to prove that aren't you!"

Seifer steps back, holding his Struggle mallet in place. I just watch him until a Struggle mallet pops in the corner of my vision. I turn to see Fuu handing me the mallet. I take it and positioned myself.

"I'll teach you how to behave in my town!" Seifer says.

Seifer and I are frozen in place, as if waiting for the first strike to happen. While this is going on, everyone gathers around, looking amazed at what's happening.

'A mysterious traveler going on a one-on-one match against champion Seifer.'

'This will certainly be interesting.'

Seifer charges, then I charge shortly afterwards. We come in at each other. As if this is happening in slow motion, we both being our attack. I see the expression on Seifer's face when he begins to swing his mallet. He has a plan. Well, I have one as well.

I redirected my weapon, swinging from underneath then I strike at the mallet. We both slide past each other, standing in place. What Seifer didn't expect to see is the foam blade of the Struggle mallet rained down and land in front of him. He looks at the broken weapon in his hand, shocked that it was his that broke.

"Im...Impossible!" Seifer drops the hilt, then he drops onto his knees.

The crowd are completely shocked seeing that.

"That guy...he destroyed that weapon." Mai says.

"Is that even possible?" Vivi asks.

I turn looking at Seifer. "If you want to try out another weapon, I'll be happy to take you on." Seifer looks over his shoulder at me. "But I'm sure you had enough...don't you?"

Seifer was silent, just groans in frustration. After a while, he looks down in defeat, stands on his feet walking until he stops right next to his gang. "Let's go." Then continues walking, with his gang following him shortly afterwards.

That's what I thought.

When Seifer's long gone, I walk over to Hayner, he's getting on his feet with the help of Pence and Olette. "You all right?"

Hayner wipes the dirt from his shoulders. "I'm fine." His tone was pretty cold. "I had everything under control."

Hayner starts walking away. "Hayner. Don't be rude." Olette says, but that doesn't stop him.

"Don't worry about him. He's like that sometimes." Pence says.

"Good to know." I say.

"I'm sorry about Hayner. Thanks for helping him out." Olette says.

"You know, it's very impressive. No one in this town has ever destroyed a Struggle weapon, let alone had the guts to stand up against Seifer." Pence says.

"Then I guess I'm going to be pretty popular here." I say.

Pence and Olette laughs. "Anyways, My name's Olette. This here is Pence." Pence waves his hand. "What's your name?"

"Patrick." I say.

"I see. Well, how about we buy you an ice cream. A way of thanking you." Olette says.

"I appreciate it, but I'm busy at the moment. I'm meeting someone in this town." I say.

"Oh, I see. Well, our place is the Usual Spot. It's in the Back Ally. Stop on by when you get the chance." Olette says.

Olette and Pence heads back to the Usual Spot, while I go off in the other direction, heading for the Old Mansion.

After making my way through the woods, I arrive at the gates of the Old Mansion. It hasn't changed since I was last here. I take a step forward, then I sense something coming at me. Instantly, I turn and swing my Keyblade as it was summoned. I destroyed the Dusk that was about to ambush me.

I turn back to the woods, where more Dusks appear in front of me. I position myself. "I suppose this isn't a greeting Naminé had in mind."

Now it's just me and these Nobodies. At the start, I use the Kairi Charm and activate the D-linking. I'm coated in blue light and my Keyblade is enhanced with water. I do a couple of attacks, some of them involve riding on my Keyblade like I'm surfing around.

The Dusks barely gets a chance to fight back. When I'm finished, I cast Waterja, shooting a large bubble of water. When it hits the Dusks, it bursts and the water splashes around, only within five yards. The Dusks are defeated, but more appear along with Berserkers, and Songstress. I do Destiny's Light, I'm surrounded by seven orbs of light. With my magic, the orbs shoots spins of light and they start spinning around, waving the light in the air or on the ground.

Two Berserkers goes Berserk. When I was done with Destiny's Light, that's when I get caught in the attack. I took a lot of hits. When I was free, I cast Curaga to heal myself then I dodge out of the way before the Berserks unleashed the final assault. When that was done, I cast Faith, summoning pillars of light, they spin and spread out wide.

most of the Nobodies are defeated. I reach my full power. The Songstress attacks me by unleashing a sound wave at me. I avoid the attacks, then I unleash Tidal Wave.

I channel water magic. One at a time, geysers burst out of the ground, the middle on bigger then the others, up to a total of six. When all are assemble, I hold my hand in the air snap my fingers. The moment I do, the geysers collapses and water splashes and waves all over the field, defeating the last of the Nobodies.

When that was done, my Keyblade vanishes and I walk towards the mansion.

Wingull and Zaela saw everything from the top of the mansion. "He's gotten stronger." Wingull strokes his chin. "Of course, that's what I speak from the Keyblade Master."

"Going to see the memory witch." Zaela cracks her knuckles. "Shall I stop him?"

Wingull holds his arm out in front of Zaela. "No. Let him be. Rasputin needs us back in the darkness. The girl's about to break and he wants us there."

"Oh! Finally! I thought I never thought I'd see the day when that toy breaks." Zaela and Wingull vanishes.

I wonder inside the mansion until I found the white room, where Naminé was usually at. I wonder inside the room, looking at all of the drawings she made of Sora's memory.

At the end of the room, I stop, looking at the one memory that belongs to me. I pick it from the wall. It's a drawing of me, Aqua, Terra and Ventus together, in the Land of Departure. Seeing this brings back a bunch of memories. It saddens me.

I roll my eyes to the side. "Why did you summon me here?"

Right behind me, Naminé sits on the other end of the table. "There is something you need to know about."

I roll my eyes back at the picture. "It's about the Aqua or Shadowmoon, isn't it?"

"No. It's about you." Hearing that caught me off guard. I turn looking at Naminé, then take a sit on the chair at my end of the table. We just sit in silence, until we speak. "Patrick...do you know who you are?"

I nod. "I am Patrick. Keyblade Master, trained under the great Yen Sid."

"That is true, but that's not what I'm talking about." I wonder what she means, but realizes when she continues. "Do you know who you truly are?"

I see where she's going with this: My forgotten memories. "No...everything's still a blank." I rest and fold my hands on the table. "You found out, didn't you?"

Naminé shook her head. "No, it's still unclear. But I've made a shocking discovery about you." About me? This doesn't sound good.

"What is it?" I ask.

"The moment I found out how you couldn't be affected by me changing Sora's memories, I was confused. It didn't make sense how you were untouched by Sora's memories. But then there's the part when you didn't forget all about Xion. That's when I know something's wrong." I don't understand this.

"What does that have to do with my lost memories?" I ask.

"There is a powerful, unstable darkness deep inside of you." Hearing that certainly surprises me. "The Voidful Mind."

"The...Voidful Mind?" I ask.

"Yes." Naminé places a mirror on the table and slides it across. "Look in the mirror. It'll sure you the truth."

I pick up the handheld mirror, looking at myself within it. At first, I see nothing. But as I look closely, that's when I see it. A dark, black aura surrounding my head. I slightly gasps seeing that.

"The Voidful Mind is a dark power. Some people consider it a gift, but it's really a curse." Naminé explains.

I put the mirror down, looking at Naminé. "Why a gift?"

"The purpose of the Voidful Mind is to prevent you from every remembering any memories it has engulfed. While it does that, it prevents you from ever forgetting anything else, and would also prevent any further memory losses." Naminé says.

"Much like your memory powers, or the nature of Xion fading out of existence?" I say.

"That is right." Naminé says. "But the Voidful Mind is very dangerous. Whenever you try to remember something that is from the memories it's taken, it'll fight back. Damaging your mind."

I didn't expect to hear that. But then I remember something: The migraines. They happened whenever I found something familiar. The Blossom Tree in Mulan's house. Belle's village on fire. The crystals in Atlantis. I look at Naminé.

"Is there anything you can do to fix this?" I ask.

Naminé shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't. Only you can. You must fight against the Voidful Mind."

"How can I do that?" I ask.

Naminé takes out a card. She tosses it to me and I catch it. The picture of the card is an upside down Keyblade, with a heart shaped ring, that's right side up, on the hilt and a crown on top of the heart.

"This card I created out of the memories the Voidful Mind has taken. If you take that to Castle Oblivion, you'll see everything that's behind the darkness that covers them. You will see who you are, where you came from. Everything that happened before Aqua found you." I remain silent, then Naminé continues. "The Voidful Mind will not attack you when your visiting these memories, but you will face it in the very end of it. I've done all I can do, now the rest is up to you."

I look at Naminé and nod. "Thank you, Naminé. I'll fight the darkness in my mind and uncover my forgotten."

I stand up, but suddenly stop the moment Naminé speaks again. "Wait! There's something you need to know. The Voidful Mind feeds of with each uncontain memory inside of you, making it stronger and stronger. You had it inside of you for sixteen years. There is no telling how powerful it is. But if you lose, the Voidful Mind will not only destroy your memories, but also your heart."

I'm shocked to hear that. "Destroy...my heart?"

"That is right. But the Voidful Mind cannot harm you as long as you try not to remember any memories its taken. So you have a choice: You can go to Castle Oblivion and face it. Or you can ignore that card and live the rest of your life with the darkness." I'm silent, and so is Naminé. "That is all the information I can give. The rest is up to you. Good luck, Patrick."

I don't move nor speak. I look at the card in my hand, wondering what I should do. Then I look up to see an empty chair at the other end of the table. Naminé is gone.

I have two choices that determines my fate. My destiny. And my very life.

What should I do?
