Chapter 9
Roxas felt the dark room closing in on him, the familiar scene was unfolding once again, the restaurant walls around him, Sora next to him in the office, and the animatronics at the doors. He seemed to keep returning to this night, something important was here. He got up and tried to walk around, but just like last time, he fell unconscious, Sora catching him.
“You have returned.”
White surrounded him, the sky, the ground, everything.
“What happened? You shouldn’t be here.”
“Well…”
Roxas explained everything to her, the four months of that girl not being there, how she had come back time after time, saving him again and again. How Xion would have been dead if he didn’t manage to turn back time. Everything.
“You’ve had quite a journey Roxas. And now you’re here.”
“I would have thought that you were the person guiding me along all this time. But all of this is new to you.”
He couldn’t see her, but Roxas knew that she was smiling.
“I’m glad to have heard your voice, Roxas…”
Waking up to silence, he felt like this shouldn’t be happening. Last time he woke to Sora pleading for him to wake up. Now, Sora wasn’t there, nor were the animatronics that should be coming for him. Knowing that he had fallen unconscious and entered that world, he started to walk around, only hoping to find something.
Anything…
He had come to a stop at a wall, words were etched into it.
“One story is possessed…
One story is not…
As one story together creates this prophecy
One needs to decide which path to take
One path leads to possessed…
One path leads to possession…
One path together leads to truth…
One does not have time decide…

Hurry… Roxas.”
“This is odd, so out of place. What is this?”
“So, you have found it.” A male voice came from behind him, “I can’t let you leave here now that you have. Die!”
The man quickly swung his blade at Roxas’ back, only finding that no contact was made. Snarling at Roxas as he saw him darting around him the room.
Jeez, what can I possibly do?
“Stop running and fight!”
Roxas pulled the Keyblade back and swung it at the man while he was turned around. The blade had sliced into his body.
“Nice try, Roxas.”
A light came from his body and the wound had healed around the Keyblade, forcing it to unsummon. Roxas saw a blade come into his direct vision, barely missing him. Noticing the ground around the blade, a darkness was growing on it rapidly.
Not good!
Jumping out of range of the darkness, it shot out a beam dark energy. Before him now stood a dark copy of himself.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
“Look, Roxas, you’ll never be able to beat yourself, just give up already.”
Roxas summoned the keyblade just moments before the dark copy swung at him, he blocked the attack, sending the dark copy to let out a fury of attacks one after the other. All he could do was block the attacks and hope for an opening. The attacks still continued, after some time the keyblade had unsummoned itself.
Crap!
Roxas summoned the keyblade again, only just before the attacks hit him.
The keyblade had been unsummoned and summoned multiple times now, Roxas was starting to feel tired and weak.
“Give up already! You can’t win! Your useless keyblade can’t do anything anymore.”
“QUIT!
GIVE UP!
NO MOTIVATION!
NO DETERMINATION!
YOU CAN’T WIN NOW!
WHY ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING?!
DARKNESS WILL PREVAIL OVER LIGHT!
LOSE! QUIT! GIVE UP!
NO MOTIVATION!
NO DETERMINATION!
WHAT GOOD IS IT TO KEEP FIGHTING?!
…
….
…..
……
…….
Why must you still live on…”
The keyblade unsummoned once again, summoning it again, he burst forward, striking the dark copy.
“I HAVE MOTIVATION! I HAVE DETERMINATION! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! I WILL SAVE SORA AND XION!”
Roxas repeatedly striked the dark copy, he didn’t care where it hit, as long as he hit it.
“YOU REALLY THINK DARKNESS CAN PREVAIL OVER LIGHT?! THEN SHOW ME WITH YOUR POWER!!”
The final strike was made on the dark copy, destroying it into a cloud of dark smoke.
“Come at me, I’m still standing…”
“I WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF DARKNESS THEN, SAVE YOUR PRAYERS!!”
The room was over taken by the darkness releasing from his body, there was no room to move, only enough space for the two of them to be standing.
“You think this is all Roxas?!”
Darkness encased Roxas in a hold, he tried to struggle… But it was no use.
The keyblade had unsummoned once again, Roxas tried to summon it again… But it was no use.
He tried to reach out for the girl, anybody… But nobody came.
“SHOW ME YOUR MOTIVATION NOW ROXAS! SHOW ME YOUR DETERMINATION!
Show me how nice it is to die…”
He attacked Roxas once, everything went black.

“But that of course requires motivation and determination… Doesn’t it?
DIE!
This story… Is mine now. Have fun never seeing Roxas again.
