-1Chapter one….

Roxas….Saxor

(part one)

Starting from where the team met once more…the group stumbled across a place called Castle oblivion, where the group seamed to loose all memories of the adventures they had, and Sora fell in love with a girl named Namine…after confronting with the girl she offered to place the boy's memories back in order, but it would take some time….all the while in a lab downstairs, some one was being watched, we start here….

Vexon watched a figure in a glass tube "it took forever….but he is almost ready" Xemnas smirked "the likeness is uncanny…." Vexon frowned "yes….but the boy has a hidden urge to be different that I could not get rid of…" Xemnas chuckled slightly "no two nobody's are alike….though if what you have told me in the past is true…" the figure in the glass tube opened his yellow eyes slightly, Vexon smirked "this nobody, will be quite powerful, one of the first to command heartless as well as nobodies" The figure shut his eyes and Xemnas frowned "send him out as soon as he is ready….Roxas can not find him…" they both walked out and the door shut.

'Roxas?….' the figure opened his eyes fully, blinking a few times 'why would they not want me to see somebody?….' he thought looking at his reflection on the glass. A sad pale white face looked back, yellow eyes glowed in the dim lighting. 'I don't understand….' he sighed, running one hand through his black hair, that surprisingly pointed to one side in the front. A cross tattoo was on his cheekbone under his right eye and his ears had a slight point, adding to his inhuman appearance, the only item of clothing he was given was a pair of black pants. 'they never let me out…I don't understand anything they are trying to do…I don't know who…or what I am, why I'm here….or what to do…' He looked down 'I can't pretend to be asleep forever…' he herd a door open and closed his eyes 'I know so little….I want to get out of here….' He cringed as a loud bang shook the liquid oxygen in the tank "Ah….so you really where faking it" the figure's face fell "Oh cheer up kid…I wont say nothing…."

The figure dared to open one eye, looking into an emerald one, the shock made the figure recoil, eyes open in fright, he hadn't seen anyone before like him…in fact, he only saw Vexon and Xemnas….he didn't know of anyone else. The flaming red hair clashed with the green eyes, and with the tattoo's under the eyes the figure almost thought he was another 'thing'….it was what the two men called him, he didn't understand why.

The man's face broke out on a smile "chill out….I'm not gonna do anything…" he shook his head "man the kid looks just like him…" he mumbled, then blinked seeing the figures confused look. "Oh sorry kid, didn't introduce myself…names Axel…and you are?" the figure looked away "oh…right…no name and you cant talk" the figure nodded, biting his lip… then his face lightened 'wait' he made a motion for Axel to hold on by putting his hands infront of him. Axel raised an eyebrow as the figure's hands glowed black, his nails turning into claws. 'I cant talk…but I can write' the figure moved his hand in the thick liquid, a violet colored trail left where his finger traced, keeping its form in the thick liquid spelling out the words

I 'lexA, olleh' /I

He swept his hand in a backward motion, and the letters spun around spelling the words…

I "Hello Axel….." /I

The look on Axel's face made the figure smile slightly "that's…..weird….you can hear me…right?" the figure made more motions in the liquid.

I "yeah…." /I

"ooookay…" Axel scratched his head "this is Really freaky…." he turned pacing "I don't think I should tell any of the others…maybe Namine….I could trust Demyx…then again he has loose lips" a sound of a music chord made both boys snap to attention "Who has loose lips?" the figure pointed to the blonde man with a mullet in the doorway holding a guitar and writing I "is that Demyx?" /I in dark Smokey letters, Axel nodded "unfortunately"

Demyx turned his sitar to his back, walking up to the glass container "so he finally wakes?" Axel nodded "the likeness of Roxas is uncanny, don't you think?" Demyx nodded "yeah…wonder how he would take seeing him?" Axel shrugged, the figure tapped on the glass, getting both men's attention's. He moved his hand I "Hi…." /I

Demyx's jaw dropped "the kid understands English!?" Axel raised an eyebrow "he is a nobody…not a dog" the figure rolled his eyes "I never got a name from him though…." Axel added. The figure sat cross-legged in the buoyant liquid, thinking, then he looked up, writing words again, then made a full 360 with his hand, sending the letters to scramble into its own word, happy with the result it turned the word around.

I "Saxor….." /I

Axel blinked, Demyx folded his arms "is that even a word?…." the figure rolled his eyes, adding more letters, spelling a full sentence I "No….My NAME is Saxor" /I both men 'oh'-ed and Saxor rolled his eyes again….then started writing again

I one more thing….Who is Roxas? /I

"Whoa!" A blond sat up in his bed, covered in sweat and panting "not again…." he ran a hand through his hair "another dream about Sora…" He didn't have time to think about it, because a small rock flew through his open window and hit him on the head "OUCH!".

The boy looked out his window at three people, one wearing green and black, another wearing red, and a third a female in an orange top, Hayner, Pence and Olette. "SORRY ROXAS!" Hayner cupped his hands to his mouth "THOUGHT YOUR WINDOW WAS CLOSED!" Roxas mumbled, shutting his window and searching for his shoes "Hayner's aim is a pain in my neck….".

/later/

Roxas walked to the usual spot, seeing a letter on the couch, the poor handwriting proved it was Hayner who wrote it before he even looked at the name :

I "Meet at the station. Today's the day we hit the beach-and don't sweat about the munny! - Hayner" /I

Roxas blinked "I had almost forgotten about that….Thanks Hayner" He mumbled, voice dripping with sarcasm. He ran out of the usual spot, hopping on his skateboard and riding to station heights.

"ROXAS!" Olette waved, Roxas smiled, resting his skateboard on the wall near a shop, only Pence was with Olette, but he daddy's pay much attention to it. Roxas started to approach his friends, but everything froze "wha?…" Roxas started to Run, but a girl in white stopped his approach. "um….hi….and you are?" The girl raised a hand and Roxas shut his mouth to stop his rambling. She smiled "I wanted to see you…at least once…" Roxas blinked "me?…" a light pink touched his cheeks. The girl nodded "yes, you…." Roxas scratched his head as the girl turned, walking away, then she stopped "oh, almost forgot….a friend of mine has wanted to meet you for a long time…" Roxas let his head tilt to one side "where are they?" the girl turned "you will see him soon, don't worry about that" she disappeared and time started again.

"Olette dragged me to go shopping you wanna come with-" Pence started, Roxas was still staring at where the girl once was "did you see that?!" Pence sighed "he's stalling again…." Olette grabbed pence by the sleeve and pulled him toword one of the shops. "see ya later Roxas, okay?" Roxas nodded, still stunned "maybe she went to that haunted mansion…." after a bit of thinking, he started off for the hole in the wall.

/woods/

"This place gives me the creeps…." Roxas rubbed his arms, no light shone through the thick tree branches, and the path was almost invisible under fallen leaves and debris. A black hole opened up infront of Roxas three white creatures slithered out of it, One grabbing his arm "let GO!" Roxas pulled his hand back, forgetting all about why he was here he turned and bolted, soon running into the sandlot with the things on his tail.

"What are those?!" Seifer blinked as Roxas stopped to look behind them. Seifer's two lackeys, Fuu and Rai, got into their fight positions just then everything froze again, leaving Roxas and the three things. Roxas rolled to the side, grabbing a struggle bat

"no time like the present" he charged, knocking away at the strange things with the bat, only to find that it didn't work "not good" Roxas mumbled, as the creatures danced around him, almost like taunting him.

"ROXAS!….USE THE KEYBLADE!"

Roxas looked up at the buildings seeing a girl in white, just as a creature charged at the unsuspecting kid "AH!" Roxas threw his arms up to protect his face, but the blow never came.

Roxas uncovered his face, seeing a blue stain glass floor, and three weapons floating in the air

I choose…. /I

Roxas blinked, confused, but eventually his hand found its way to the sword (Its what I choose….) Then the sword and other weapons vanished, and the keyblade appeared in Roxas's hand, along with a door materializing

I Be careful. Beyond that door lies a completely different world. But don't be afraid.

/I

Roxas started toword the door, opening it to show a large staircase "well….here goes nothing….." He started up the stairs, more white creatures appearing in his way, but with the keyblade they where no match. Soon Roxas stepped onto a new platform….that looked like the old one "it was a dead end" Roxas sighed, then started to feel the ground shaking underneath him "uh oh…." He turned as a larger version of those creatures rose up from the floor "snap…." Roxas glared, holding the keyblade tight in his hands.

/meanwhile, yes I'm skipping the fight I had writers black when I thought about it because you cant do much with it in the game/

Axel and Demyx left a long time ago, and the room was quiet, giving Saxor time to think 'so…Roxas was once apart of whatever this is…..' he folded his arms 'but he left….so there is a way out of here….' his eyes narrowed 'but first I got to find a way out of HERE!' he poked the glass.

"Maybe I can help" Saxor recoiled, spinning in his tank 'wha-who-where?!' he faced a girl with blonde hair, in a white dress. The girl smiled "I know who can get you out….but you will have to wait a short while longer…." she pointed to a glowing green panel near the computers monitoring him "when the right person touches that panel, and the password in place, you should be able to get out" Saxor sighed, Namine continued to smile as her hand moved ontop the panel. A soft beep sounded and one of the computers started flashing "Code?" the computer's voice stated. Namine turned "you should know the code…." Saxor bit his lip, as something surfaced in his mind. He started to write again I Mai Chigiri /I

Namine nodded, typing in the words, but just before her hand hit the last button, the door opened "Namine!…what are you doing!?" Vexon walked up and grabbed Namine's arm "you where not supposed to leave your room" He glared at her, then looked up and all anger vanished from his face "He's….awake!" Saxor glared "He is finally awake!" He pushed Namine out the door "Hey!" Namine turned, but the door closed in her face.

Vexon circled Saxor "amazing, the first heartless/nobody hybrid…." Saxor raised an eyebrow, Vexon stopped "you can hear me can't you?" Saxor glared, but nodded. "wonderful" Vexon smirked, "Xemnas will be pleased….but just to make sure" He pressed a button, sending an electric current through the tank. Saxor silently screamed from the new feeling of pain, now hating Vexon and wanting to get out even faster. When the current was broken Saxor glared at the man, the liquid around the glass of the tank started to freeze as Saxor's body temperature dropped, the pupil's in Saxor's eyes disappeared and his skin turned black, canine teeth sharpened, and nails turning into claws. "Perfect" Vexon 's smirk widened as Saxor hissed.

The door opened up and Axel walked in "Hey Vexon….Xemnas wants you, for a report on whatever you're doing in here" Vexon grumbled something under his breath walking out of the room. "Okay Demyx…." Axel motioned with one hand and the sitar player silently moved inside 'huh?….' Saxor squinted, trying to see through the ice that had formed on the glass.

A bright red glow formed on one spot, and the ice melted away "Whoa!" Axel jumped "Dude….what's with the scare!?" The black vanished as Saxor returned to normal. Demyx hit the final button and Saxor felt something pulling him down as the fluid drained into the bottom "AH!" He hit the floor, landing on his butt. The glass lifted and Axel pulled Saxor to his feet, only to have him fall down again "oh….this is going to be difficult" Saxor shook his head, moving to all fours (think Anti-form walking stance). Demyx raised an eyebrow "ooookay….here" Saxor turned his head to be hit with a towel "you're getting water on the floor…or whatever you where in five seconds ago"

After being dried off Axel motioned out the door, the three of them moving down the hall as fast as possible, into an unmarked room. Namine sat on a large platform "you got him out!" she placed her hands together "but why is he walking like that?" Axel smirked "Saxor….try to stand" Saxor started up, and held a standing position for five seconds, but started to fall forward. "AH!" Saxor held his arms out to balance himself, both swinging in circles, soon he was standing "whew"

Namine smiled "Roxas….this is who I wanted you to see" Axel moved to one side, letting Saxor see the blond kid. It was a contest to see who was more confused, Roxas won "him?!…." He pointed "but-he-…" Saxor's head tilted to one side "Rox…..as….Roxasss….." He blinked, then pointed Smiling "Roxas!" Demyx shook his head "It speaks!" Roxas raised an eyebrow "yeah…..and you are?" Namine yelped as Vexon entered the doorway "AXEL!" Axel's face paled, Demyx whistled "Roxas Run!" Roxas looked around "RUN WHERE?!" Saxor went to all fours, one hand extended and a dark oval opened in the center of the room "Roxas!" he pointed to Roxas, then to portal. Roxas backed up, but Saxor shoved Roxas back into the portal before he could get too far away. Roxas flailed, one hand grabbed onto the nearest thing, and both objects tumbled into the darkness.

"Seifer, strike a pose! ya know" "how's this?" "that's perfect ya know" Roxas herd the sound of a camera and opened his eyes, first thing he noticed was he was on the floor, the second was Seifer standing infront of him "good thing those white things are gone…ya know?"

Roxas got up remembering the white things "what where those things…." Seifer glared "outsiders that's what….they where easy to take down" Fuu nodded "Cakewalk" Roxas turned, seeing Hayner, Olette and Pence. Hayner huffed and walked away, Roxas ran after him "Hey! Wait up!" He ran after his friends, but stopped when Hayner jumped back as a large cart rushed past, with someone screaming on top "Who would be stupid enough to ride a rouge cart!….those things weigh at least over two hundred pounds on a good day!" Pence exclaimed as the cart rushed past. Hayner changed direction "lets follow it!" Roxas turned following Hayner.

/about fifteen minutes before this happened….around the time Roxas woke up/

"hmm…." Saxor blinked, then winced as a beam of sunlight hit his eyes "gah" he rolled over onto his stomach and got up onto his knees. He herd the sound of metal hitting metal and opened his eyes, seeing that the black pants he once wore where replaced by a black jumpsuit with two color pants, the top part was black and the lower part a dark purple. He was also wearing a grey long sleeved hoodie with a dark red collar. The zipper had a cross charm on the zipper pull, and he had shoes.

'weird place…weirder wardrobe…' Saxor moved to all fours, moving out of the ally near what looked like a garage (the one in cargo climb) 'I better learn how to walk…people will look at me funny….' He used the wall to steady himself, but after five steps tripped over a rock and landed on top a cart with a large bag in it. The cart started to rock, but stopped "whew…" Saxor sighed, then the cart creaked and started forward 'uh oh….'

The cart started down a slope, gaining speed, Saxor had to dig into the bag with his claws to avoid slipping off 'NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!' the cart headed toword a corner, with a swift pull the cart turned, narrowly avoiding a wall "Whoa!…" Saxor grabbed onto the bag tighter as a bump almost threw him off, 'okay…the worst part should be ov-…..oh snap!' then his face paled seeing a larger bump with a large board on it, forming a ramp "AHHHHHH!" the cart went up the ramp and into the air, causing at least a foot of space between the cart and the bag, while Saxor was shaken off by the force and flew above the cart and bag. All three flew above the sandlot, and Rai pointed "hey!….Chicken wuss is flying-Ya know"

With a swift 'THUMP' the cart, bag, and Saxor landed in that order "WHEW!" he blinked 'Don't get worse…don't get worse!' he looked up and felt like someone had kicked him, "AH!" He turned the cart to the right zipping past Hayner and his friends. "Who would be stupid enough to ride a rouge cart!….those things weigh at least over two hundred pounds on a good day!" Saxor herd someone exclaim "Lets follow it!" Saxor looked back to see people casing after the cart, three boys and one girl.

/back to normal POV/

Roxas grabbed his skateboard gaining speed on the cart, seeing someone riding it "Dude….GET OFF THAT THING!" he thought the figure looked familiar, but dismissed it. Roxas pulled to a swift stop as he noticed the cart start down an alley "its on a collision coarse!" Pence stopped "And at the speed its going its gonna hurt!" Roxas saw the figure move, but infront of the cart "what the-" The cart stopped as it hit the wall. Hayner took the liberty to check it out first….his jaw dropped "Guys…GUYS!" Pence, Roxas and Olette picked up the pace, Pence first "what the-….he should of ben wall pizza!….that load looks heavy enough to flatten Seifer!" Hayner blinked "yeah yeah…that too…but look at his FACE!" Roxas had to look after Hayner said that….

"I thought I dreamed you?!" Roxas stared wide eyed, at his doppelganger, who had his feet firmly propped against the wall and his arms against the cargo! "um…maybe we should help" Pence managed to say through the silence, Hayner nodded, mouth still open. Olette ran over to the handle "Over here!" Pence, Hayner and eventually Roxas grabbed onto the handle, it took all four of them to move the cart a few inches "MOVE!" Roxas shouted, Saxor scrambled away from the cart and the others let go, as the cart hit the wall with a loud crash, luckily nothing was damaged. Saxor leaned against a wall, catching his breath 'walking is harder than I thought….' he fell to the floor.

After five minutes pence dared talking again "um….hi…." Saxor looked up "I'm Pence…That's Olette, Hayner and-" Saxor pointed to Roxas "Roxas!" Roxas blinked "um….Right" Pence blinked, Hayner mumbled to Olette "even sounds like him…" Roxas raised an eyebrow "We aren't That much alike!" Hayner looked from Saxor to Roxas "yeah….you do".

Roxas went to one knee, looking Saxor in the face, Saxor looked up, after what felt like five minutes of staring, Saxor smiled, pointing "Roxas!". Hayner, Pence, Olette and Roxas sighed then stood up "Here…" He offered his hand, helping Saxor up "Hayner was right for once…we DO look alike…"Roxas turned walking a few steps, Saxor started to fall over "ROXAS!" His arms flailed again, eyes closing and body waiting for impact…..that never came.

"can't you walk at all?" Saxor opened his eyes, confused, till he noticed an arm across his chest 'he-he didn't let me fall?' He looked up to Roxas's face again, then looked away embarrassed, shaking his head 'no' . Roxas pulled Saxor back to a standing position "now I see how you ended up on that cart…." Saxor pouted.

Once Roxas felt Saxor could stand he let go "okay….start from the basics….DON'T FALL!" Saxor caught himself before he fell over, then smiled nervously, pulling himself to a standing position. "Okay, shift your weight to your left foot and move your right foot forward"

/computer room/

Diz hit his keyboard "I cant get a lock on Roxas's location!…." he turned on all cameras and still no Roxas "where could that shadow have taken him….." he leaned back in his chair, thinking "hm…could it be that…Roxas is in the Real…Twilight town?"

/back to Twilight town/

"geez! How long does it take to get his butt over here!" Hayner looked up at the ceiling from his spot on the floor. Pence blinked "I still can't get over the fact that there are TWO versions of Roxas running around" Olette nodded "yeah…I cant stop thinking about that" Hayner sat up "Its like….there's our Roxas…and then this Gothic super strong, limited vocabulary version of Roxas" the tarp over the entrance pulled away and Roxas looked inside "sorry I took so long…." Hayner made a motions telling Roxas that it wasn't a big deal. "I kinda had to learn a few things-" Roxas walked inside, "like ventriloquism?" Hayner raised an eyebrow "Hey!….I'm the one talking!" Saxor stumbled inside, kicking a bucket off his shoe. Pence nodded "oh….you're the one talking…." all three stared open mouthed "YOU TALK?!" Saxor winced, Roxas snickered "apparently…." Hayner managed to break a long silence "right…."

/later/

"So…..your name?" Pence said for the third time that hour….everyone started asking questions and it was starting to creep both Roxas and Saxor out "erm…Saxor…for the third time" Hayner leaned against a wall "so….almost everything you said matched Roxas….somehow….final question….do you know about Struggle?" Saxor looked lost "huh?" Roxas explained "it's a tournament where you hit people with sticks" Saxor looked confused "what's fun about hitting people with sticks?" he picked up a random stick and smacked Hayner over the head with it "OW!" Saxor blinked "that….didn't look fun" Hayner rubbed his head "the sticks are PADDED!" then he smirked "lets say we do alittle one on one?…" Saxor blinked "um….sure?"

/sandlot…/

"you sure you wanna do this?…." Roxas handed the struggle bat to Saxor, who shrugged "If you can do it…maybe I can too" Hayner walked onto the sandlot "lets get this started!" Saxor walked onto the sandlot, moving to a battle stance. Olette raised her arm " .STRUGGLE!"

Hayner charged, Saxor ducked out of the way causing Hayner to almost hit the ground "Whoa!" he hopped on one foot and turned, almost landing a blow, where Saxor was standing, but right before the bow hit, Saxor seamed to Disappear right infront of Hayner's eyes "huh?!" he looked around, Roxas rubbed his eyes "where did he go?"

"Try behind you" Saxor whispered, striking Hayner with So much force that he hit the wall "ops…." Saxor winced "that had to hurt…" Roxas's jaw dropped "Olette…watch Saxor….I'm….gonna find some way to peel Hayner off the wall"

/computer room/

Diz stared at the image of Saxor on the screen "what power…."

/world that never was/

Xemnas stared at the screen "what power….Vexon…you never mentioned-" Vexon was stunned "I never knew…." Demyx who was hiding in the doorway, was still looking shocked "the kid has skill…" Xemnas smirked "When you send Axel to fetch Roxas….Make sure he gets our little shadow as well" Demyx looked nervous "not if I get to him first…" with that he disappeared.

/back to the sandlot/

Saxor was in a constent state of apologizing "Im sorry Im sorry Im sorry!…." Hayner blinked, slightly nervous "youre fine…that's some power you have…." Roxas mumbled "I hope I don't pay for those damages…" Pence had ben thinking, then smiled and turned "Hayner, why don't you put Saxor on your team?…he is good enough…." Saxor blinked "I don't think-" "PERFECT IDIEA!" Hayner interrupted "Seifer has no chance against you!…and we would have three chances at the prize!" Saxor blinked, then leaned tword Roxas whispering "I thik he hit his head too hard…." it was said with so much consern that Roxas turned grabing Saxor's wrist "Its settled!…comeon!, we have only eleven hours to train!" Olette blinked "what about sleep?!" Hayner blinked "no time!" Saxor blinked as Hayner dragged him back to the sandlot "D-Don't I get a say in this?!" Hayner looked back smiling "nope!" Roxas sighed "Ill get the first aid kit…Pence…get a crowbar and call an ambulance on stand by" Olette blinked "for Saxor?" Roxas looked at the two who where being dragged away "no…for Hayner…"

Saxor: we had to stop here or it would be too long….

Roxas: but this will continue…and Cj has ben wondering how the audence would take this…the story can go three ways

1. Normal

2. Roxas and Saxor DON'T merge with Sora and Aros, but the story continues with them on the team

3. Only one finds his nobody, the other takes a different path

Sora: Next chapter…

Aros: the struggle tournament, an unexpected guest, and truths unravled…
