Chapter 3 – She's Here

I had a new dream. I was at Twilight Town, sitting on top of the clock tower, holding a Popsicle that was blue. I tasted it and it had a sweet, but salty taste. I heard some footsteps which made me turn my head to the left. There was a person in a black coat, the one that looked like Roxas'. I had a feeling that this person was going to attack me, but they just sat down next to me.

"I sense somebody, but they're not physically here. A Keyblade Wielder," they said. They had a female voice, so I'm guessing it's a girl. "He has a presence that feels like… it can't be!" She removed her hood. She had short, black hair, blue eyes, and a face of a young girl. "Roxas, is it you?"

She knew Roxas? "Sorry, but I'm not Roxas. I'm an acquaintance of his," I replied, hoping she could hear me.

"Oh, sorry. What's your name?" She asked me.

"Sesu, and what's yours?"

"Xion, I'm a friend of Roxas'. Do you know Axel?"

"No, is he another friend of his?"

"Yes, they're both my friends. But they probably don't remember me; I didn't want them to worry about me."

"Uh, Xion was it? Roxas is at Hollow Bastion, and so am I. Do you know Sora?"

She widened her eyes. "Sora? How can he be awake if Roxas and I aren't joined with him?"

"Wait… what?"

"Oh, never mind. Do you think it would be okay to…" She got cut off when several footsteps started coming towards us. "I'll meet you at Hollow Bastion," Xion quickly said as she opened a black portal and walked into it, vanishing.

~Noble Hearts~

I woke up back in bed. I felt 100% healed, so I walked into the living room.

"I can't 'lieve it. Why are the security systems goin' haywire?" Cid was scratching his head.

"The MCP must be controlling them. Remember that it got partial power after it learned the password," Sora explained.

"What's happening?" I asked the group, unnoticing the woman wearing all black standing next to Cloud.

"Ah Sesu, you're up. You need to know this. Sora, can you explain this to him?" Leon replied. Sora started explaining a computer world named Space Paranoids where he and a security program named Tron tried to find data, where they had to fight a Hostile Program.

"The program that was controlling the computer is called the MCP, the Master Control Program. It had a commander who was named Sark, who tried to 'derezz', or kill, us. Now it apparently gained some control to the town's security systems, and it's also sending computerized Heartless into the Real World. I'm going to go back to Space Paranoids and try to destroy the MCP and Sark, but the problem is, we can't reach Tron. I'm going to try to find him," Sora explained.

"He might be in the Game Grid. When you were there, we could not find your location. While you find em', I'm goin' to make a program ta give more power to Tron," Cid replied.

"You're not seriously going to go in alone; the MCP may have gotten stronger. You're going to need more help. I'll come with you," I said.

"No, you need more training Sesu. I'll try to contact Donald and Goofy, as they helped last time with Tron," Leon replied.

"Donald? Goofy? Who're they?" I asked.

"You know that tower in your dreams? The one with me and two other people? The duck is Donald and the other is Goofy," Sora explained. After a while of more arguing, Sora left to Space Paranoids, Cloud vanished somewhere, the woman in black named Tifa ran off to find Cloud, Leon and Cid started working on the program, Merlin and Aerith started discussing magic, and Yuffie just went home. Soon, it was just me and Roxas.

"So, Sesu, want to go train? I'll go easy on you," Roxas asked me. I thought about it. Training with another Keyblader would be better than being shot at by Leon. I nodded and we went outside.

~Noble Hearts~

After fending off some Heartless that seemed abundant in the streets, Roxas and I were alone in the Great Maw. "I wanted to ask you, what are the names of those Keyblades?" I asked him.

"The white one is Oathkeeper, and the other is Oblivion. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, mine is Solar Storm," I replied, summoning my Keyblade. Roxas summoned Oathkeeper alone. He seemed to be struggling while trying to summon Oblivion. "What's wrong?"

"I can't summon Oblivion; this has never happened to me," Roxas explained, "I guess it would be easier to help you train using only one though."

"Yeah, I saw how brutal you were when you were fighting Sora," I replied. I thought about trying out a new stance, so I turned Solar Storm and held it in reverse-grip. "I want to try something."

"Okay, I've never seen anybody use reverse-grip, so this is also a first for me," Roxas replied. He got into a battle stance and he ran at me. I blocked his first slash and retaliated by trying to hit his legs, but he blocked it. He jumped over me, ran around in a circle (planted Oathkeeper into the ground), and rocketed at me on the ground. I dodged and threw Solar Storm at him, which he ducked, and knocked me onto the ground. "You threw your Keyblade, and I'm holding Oathkeeper over your neck. Do you know how to retrieve it without moving?" What is he talking about? I don't know magic, how am I supposed to get it back?

"How am I supposed to do that?"

Roxas just sighed. "You really haven't had the Keyblade that long have you? I'll show you," he asked. He threw Oathkeeper at the side of the canyon, which imbedded into the wall. "You know how you summon the Keyblade. Retrieving is practically the same. When you have been disarmed, try to summon it back," Oathkeeper disappeared when Roxas held out his hand, and reappeared in it. "Try it."

I closed my eyes, picturing Solar Storm back in my hand. I heard a poof and opened my eyes. Solar Storm was back in my hand. I knocked Oathkeeper off my neck and tried to pin down Roxas, but he rolled away and hit me in the back, sending me flying. I landed with a solid thud. I stood up and was trapped by Roxas, who had Oathkeeper in front of my neck and Solar Storm in the back. I smirked and twisted his hand that had Oathkeeper and took the Keyblade out of his hand and hit him in his back with it. He jumped up and I jumped back, Oathkeeper disappearing out of my hand. I retrieved Solar Storm out of Roxas' hand, and clashed with his Keyblade. Sparks flew, almost blinding me, and I saw my chance. I knocked Oathkeeper out of his hand and I caught it in mid-air. I spun around and hit him five times. He flew backwards and landed 10 feet away.

"Roxas!"

~Noble Hearts~

I turned around and saw a girl running towards Roxas. She was wearing a black hoodie shirt and a long black skirt. It took me a while to notice that it was Xion! Roxas stood up, surprised by Xion's presence, and rubbed his eyes.

"Xion? Is that you?" Roxas asked. He was hugged by the girl, who gave a quick glare at me. "How did you know I was here?"

Xion let go of Roxas. "Someone named Sesu told me, are you hurt?"

"No, I was training with him," Roxas pointed at me. I was still shocked by their relationship. "Why didn't you tell me that she was here?" He asked me.

"I didn't know how long it would take for her to get here; I met her in my dream," I replied, "What are you guys, dating or something?" Xion and Roxas turned away from each other, apparently blushing.

"No, we're old friends. I'll tell you about it later," Roxas explained.

"Roxas, have you seen Axel anywhere?" Xion asked. Roxas looked at Xion, and dropped his head.

"Sorry Xion, but no," Roxas replied. I stood there, wondering who Axel was, but I got another thought. If Roxas was to bring Xion back to Merlin's, she would be bombarded by questions like Roxas was. "And to answer your question Sesu, Xion and I were in Organization XIII together. I learned that none of the HBRC likes Organization XIII, and if there was another Nobody around them, they would probably lose it. Xion, we need a place to hide you so you don't go through the stress I'm going through," Roxas explained. My head was hurting from all the information I learned in a three day period.

"Roxas, I'm going back to Merlin's. I wish you luck," I said to him and started walking off. "Oh, and Xion, nice to meet you in person," I told her.

"Nice to meet you too Sesu," Xion replied.

~Noble Hearts~

I was near the crystal caverns when a bunch of Heartless blocked my path. "Shit, why now?" I summoned Solar Storm and started hacking away at them. "Will you guys give it a rest? Why do you guys have to be everywhere?" I knocked away one Shadow and saw one just looking at me. Why isn't it attacking me? I got hit by a Soldier in the back of the head. "Why must everything hit me in my head?!" I was surprised when that Shadow attacked the Soldier. It didn't stand a chance, but it was holding it off. "What the hell? I didn't expect that! Well, take it or leave it!" I ran at the Soldier and uppercutted it with Solar Storm, knocking it into the air. I looked at the Shadow and it rubbing its head on my leg.

Thank you Sesu.

I stepped back. It couldn't be… I kneeled down to the Shadow and patted its head. "Is it really you?" I closed my eyes and saw myself patting her head. I jumped back. "Rhaine? It is you!" Rhaine was my girlfriend back at my world. I loved her a lot, but seeing her like this broke my heart. I hugged her tightly, hoping she would not vanish. Tears were falling from my eyes. "How could this happen?" I was sobbing hard.

Sesu, I'm okay. I don't like to see you like this.

I looked at the Shadow that used to be Rhaine. "I will get your body back, and nothing will stop me! I swear, I will!" I swore to her. She nodded her head and I could see her trying to smile. This will be burned in my head forever, but I will never lose her again. I picked her up and put her on my shoulder. "I love you Rhaine," I told her.

I love you too Sesu.

She cuddled my neck and I went back to Merlin's. I opened the door and instantly heard Leon talking.

"Just wait for Roxas and Sesu to get back, I'll have them send the program to Sora," Leon told the others.

"Roxas won't be back for a while, he's got some stuff to do," I told them. The second they saw Rhaine, they got into their battle stances.

"Sesu, don't move, you have a Shadow on your shoulder," Leon informed me.

"Don't you dare attack her!" I yelled. They suddenly got a weird reaction.

"Her? What do ya mean?" Cid asked.

I looked at Rhaine and replied, "This is my girlfriend Rhaine. She got turned into a Heartless when our world got destroyed. She still has the mind of her former self, and I won't rest til' I get her body back." Aerith seemed to be the only one to understand.

"Are you insane? That's a Heartless, and no one has ever returned back to normal after they've been turned," Leon explained.

Aerith popped up, "Sora has, with the help of Kairi." I looked at Aerith with hope in my eyes and could hear Leon face-palming. "Don't worry Sesu, it's possible. All we have to do is locate her heart," Aerith explained. At that moment, I began my journey to search for Rhaine's heart.
