Day 358

I’m back in the world of Nobodies. Ready to commence my **** of Organization XIII’s castle, two Keyblades in hand. As I’m walking through the city skyscrapers tower over me. I stop in front of one such building. A man blocks my path. He’s wearing an Organization cloak but I don’t recognize him. He has long silver hair and is wearing a blindfold. Whoever he is I’m not going to allow him to stop me. “Who are you?” I ask.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m here for you.”

“Why are you in my way?”

“Because I want back the rest of Sora’s memories.”

“I’m getting tired of hearing about Sora!”

“Do you even have some kind of plan?”

“You’re damn right I do! I’m going to set Kingdom Hearts free! Then everything will go back to the way it was! She’ll come back and the three of us can be together again.”

“You mean Xion? It’s a struggle just to remember the name now.” I don’t know why but hearing him say her name makes my blood boil. He continues. “Either way, I can’t let you go doing anything crazy.”

“Listen to me. I’m freeing Kingdom Hearts and I’m going to find Sora. I want Xion back. I want my life back!”

“If you try and make contact with Kingdom Hearts, the last thing you’ll get is your life back. The Organization will destroy you.”

“As if I haven’t heard that already!” I lunge and swipe a Keyblade at him. He’s able to block my attack, countering with his own, knocking me onto my back. My vision fades and I think back to all the time I spent with my friends and lovers, Axel and Xion.

With my memories in my heart I find the strength to get back up and charge at the silver haired man. He dodges both my attacks and leaps backward. He’s really trying my patience. “Why won’t you quit?”

He smirks. “Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that.”

“Is that a joke? Look who’s winning.” I cover my mouth in shock and surprise. That playful voice wasn’t mine. “That confirms it. You really are his Nobody. DiZ was right after all.”

“What the fuck are you talking about? I’m me, nobody else!” Another battle commences. This asshole won’t give up.

He drops to one knee, holding his chest. “You’ve given me ****. I have to submit…” He takes off his blindfold, revealing his blue eyes. “...to the dark power I’ve been holding back.” He’s surrounded by a pillar of darkness. Once it dissipates I see a different man standing before me. He also has silver hair but he’s taller. There’s also a black creature floating behind him like a guardian.

He quickly teleports right in front of me. The creature grabs me with one large hand, lifting me in the air. It’s strength is incredible. I can feel it squeezing the life out of me. I have no way of escaping. The last thing I see before I pass out is the memory of the ones I love, Axel and-

No, just Axel.
