Chapter 2
Roxas woke up looking slightly at his ground and legs. He seemed to have fallen asleep on the hospital chair. From the corner of his eye he saw his phone blinking on the bedside table next to him.
Namine.
He slowly stretched his arms and back then proceeding to grab his phone.
Keyblade…
His hand stopped in place just as he was about to pick up the phone, the room felt different to him, like another person had entered.
Key…blade…
There it was again. Was it a whisper? Or his imagination?
~~~
Key…
Key……
Key………
Keyblade…
“Keyblade!”
Roxas shouted the name suddenly, balls of light from the floor swirled around him until they reached his hands and moving off of them into the air, creating an object as they did. The lights died out, and in Roxas’ hand was his keyblade.
~~~
Roxas remembered what had happened before he felt asleep, looking down at his hand he saw that there was nothing in it, then looking around the room. But to no avail he saw the so called Keyblade. The presence in the room he felt in the room was still there if there was any, he gazed around the room, hoping to find what was possibly here. His eyes finally landed on a dark part of the room, it looked like something was moving in a ring on the wall. As he continued to watch it, a figure appeared and begun to become clearer and clearer to his vision. It was a girl slightly smaller than him, will black hair down to her shoulders at the back, getting shorter at the front which went down to her chin, at least what he could see. She wore a plain black coat which was undone revealing that she more a casual black shirt. She wore normal black jeans which were a bit damaged, but in a state fit to where. He then noticed that she had blue eyes, even in the dark. The girl continued to walk towards him, then stopping a step away from him.
“Roxas.”
Her voice was light, and slightly familiar. But he had never seen her before. No way had she known him.
“Roxas,” She repeated, “I need you to come with me.”
“Sorry?” He asked. “I don’t know you.”
She glared at him, then after a while she stopped, her eyes going back to normal after realizing that he didn’t.

“My name is Xion.”
Finally, someone with a name.
“It’s obvious I didn’t come through the door but I can’t tell you where I did either. Just come with me and you’ll find out, everyone else and I really need your help…”
He thought he heard her mutter ‘to save him’ under her breath, but he brushed it off, probably wasn’t important to what she needed him for information wise.
“Look… Xion was it?” She nodded. “I can’t help you, I have to stay here with Sora and Namine. Plus I have someone else continuing to visit me in here every day who will give me the answers to everything I need.”
Xion sighed.
“Roxas, remember the name Xion, she told me to tell you that so try!”
“Who did?”
“The one who visits you every day! That’s why I know where you are.”
Roxas thought about the name Xion, the sensation he got when he tried was like the one he felt earlier on when the girl was here making him remember his own past. Flashes of Xion came into his mind, but in different clothes and locations.
What is this? Who is this? Where is this? When is this?
He saw a door, he was in a cave with Namine, he had the keyblade in his hand and Namine was holding her hands up to produce some sort of barrier around the both of them to protect them from
“The heartless!”
He spoke the words loudly, Xion was smiling.
“So you have some sort of connection, but who am I?”
Key…blade…
“You’re someone important to me in these… memories? I get the feeling that me here is really trying to find and protect you. I’m worried about you maybe.”
Keyblade…
Xion looked slightly shocked.
“I’ve… never heard those words from you before… not in a while at least.”
Keyblade
“It really seems like I truly am.”
He saw himself and Namine unwillingly go through the door. White was all around him, his vision eventually clearing he saw the girl that was visiting him everyday walking through a door. Her lips were moving, but he could not hear anything. The presence of the Roxas he was looking through disappeared, and he was left alone with her. She walked up to him.
“I will not force you to go… But if you do, I will warn you that you might not be able to come back…”
Keyblade!
His vision blurred and he came back to focus. Xion was looking around her, creatures came up from the shadows, taking form like they did 4 months ago.
“Roxas! Are you coming?”
Xion was yelling at him, she was trying to head towards the wall where she emerged.
“This is your one chance to decide!’
“I will not force you to go… But if you do, I will warn you that you might not be able to come back…”
He thought to what the girl had just said to him, if he went he might not be able to go back. He did not want to do that without having Sora safe from these creatures first.
“Keyblade!”
Roxas yelled the word, the heartless turned towards him as the balls of light quickly released from the ground, forming the keyblade in his hand.
Let’s do this.
He charged into the crowd of heartless, remembering how he dealt with them 4 months ago. He slashed at their bodies, slicing them in two. The halves dissipated into the light, travelling upwards.
“R-Roxas?”
“Sorry Xion.” He slashed at another heartless which jumped towards him. “I can’t leave until I know Sora is safe.”
She was startled, but continued to run through the heartless to the portal. The heartless jumped into her way, she tried to hit them away. A few were hit by her arms and into the direction of Roxas’ blade as he slashed them in midair, trying to make his way to her killing as many heartless as possible. Only a few feet away from her portal she was tackled down by 5 heartless as she ran. The portal closed right in front of her and Roxas.
