"one... one wish?" Roxas questioned, looking back at Axel. he frowned a bit, then looked towards the sky. "i... i guess... i guess to be apart from Sora. to be able to live my life again... in twlight town or... or just anywhere... to have my own friends and... and to skateboard whenever i want and..." he sighed then smiled. "eat all the sea salt ice cream in the world." he licked it absent-mindedly. "i don;t like being trapped... i;d rather fade as a nobody then live this life." he frowned at the strak of guilt that ran through him. Whether it was his or Soras, he couldn;t really tell.
Donald looked left and right curiously, but it seemed in that one attack the whole lot of them had been slayed. "nice job,." he told the young warrior glancing up at him. he seemed a bit drained, but his magic was rather strong.

He nodded and looked out, standing up and sucked on the ice cream a bit more before it was gone. "You know.... all the Nobodys want a heart of their own. It is all of our one wish." He thought a bit and smiled. "But not mine. I really don't know what my one wish would be... because you see, with you here with me... I already feel like I have a heart." He looked down at the town with a small smile on his face. "So... I guess my one wish is to never lose you again. I'd be like... losing my heart all over again."
Riku rubbed his head a bit but shook it off, looking around at the people looking at them. They recognized the duck and dog, the the silver haired boy was quite new to them. "Is everyone ok??"
There was a weird noise up above, making both the silver haired boy and redhead man look up at the sky. The dark clouds were clearing away now and the sun was sneaking in.
Axel's eyes moved towards the only dark part of the sky now. "Ah... the mansion. I guess that's the only part that we're still having problems with. That's where all this started. They knew for some reason that that's where the portal to where the Nobodys live... but thanks to your outbreak, you destroyed the computer... so we can no longer go back to that world... the world where you once lived... here with your friends. But now since it's broken, they don't remember you. AAAAAAAAAAAAAnd unfortunately we can't fix it now that we're on the other side. That's why we need our own hearts now."

Donald looked at the sky. "i take that as a good sign."
"right..." Roxas mumbled, blushing brightly. what had Axel meant by that? he made the other... feel like he had... and the whole never losing him again... he couldn;t possibly mean what he thought he meant.
Roxas blushed further shutting his eyes. he recognized the feeling he was getting. his heart was beating faster.
It was the same way Sora felt around Riku...
he licked off the rest of the ice cream before nervously biting down on the stick, trying to avoid looking at Axel the best he could. this feeling... it was driving him insane.

Riku nodded as he continued to shake off his dizziness. It had been a while since he used his powerful majick like that. Slowly he walked towards the closest shop and looked at the owner. "Are you alright?"
Goofy looked at the sky and laughed. "Yea! We've done it again!" But he too saw the remaining dark circle in the sky. "I guess that's where we're headed next."
Axel looked back at Roxas who had turned quite silent. What was the matter with him? He figured that being half of Sora, he would of gotten the heart message... but apparently not. "Whatcha just sittin there for? Cat got your tongue?"

The owner, a rather old woman, nodded tentatively."Yes, thank you very much..." she looked him up and down curiously.
Donald sighed. "Just great."
Roxas stood suddenly, fingering the stick before snapping it in half and dropping it over the side. he brushed himself off. "You know if you really want my help, then i actually got to go down there and do something." he gave Axel and scalding glare. "And i don't like cats."

Riku nodded and continued to do the same to every other ower, making sure everything was ok. While walking around, he saw a hole in a wall, a weird dim coming from it. Looking up, he could see the black clouds circling around it. This must be where the rest of them are. He looked back at the other two and swung his arm.
"Come on, this way!" He yelled as he rushed through the hole and into an odd forest.
Goofy dusted himself off and looked around as well before hearing Riku voice. He turned just to see silver disappear into a wall. "GWARSH! Come on Donald, he's heading for the mansion!" He yelled as he rushed after the older boy.
Axel crossed his arms and sighed. "Yea, yea... I'll met you at the front door. You had better prepare yourself though." He replied as a black hole of shadows formed behind him. Slowly he stepped back into it and disappeared.

"Riku!" Donald yelled, hurrying after both goofy and their silver-haired friend. he was as impatient as Sora!
"prepare myself... for what?" Roxas whispered once Axel had gone. he turned suddenly, and without any hesitation jumped off the tower.
AHH! RO- "XAS!" Sora screeched, but then blinked. Oh, he had contropl over his body again. happy thought, happy thoughts! ... Riku He grinned autotmatically and suddenly pulled himself into a glide, flying over the rooftops. next time, warn me. Roxas only laughed.

Riku rushed through the forest, heading towards the clearing. Not even noticing the random Hearless popping up, he wasn't too sure where his mind was. He could hear odd whispers that just told him to keep going and to get to that clearing.
Goofy was taken back by the sudden burst of Heartless. Usually it was Nobody's that were found in these woods... but since they got here, the Nobody's didn't seem to want anything to do with them. Luckily, these Heartless were as weak as the ones in the town, so they quickly got rid of them. However... he lost sight of Riku.
Riku pushed through the bit of overgrowth and pulled into the clearing. He stopped in front of the old mansion. His ocean eyes looked at the clouds. They were darkest over this place. Slowly he walked through the iron gates, suddenly feeling his keyblade in his hand again. He glared down at it then at the door, seeing a shadow appear.
Axel stepped through and looked over the courtyard at Riku.
"Wow, one of the heroes showed up before the oth--"
"Shut up and get out of the way."
Axel blinked as he unfolded his arms and looked at the tall teenager. "My, my, don't we have a temper."
The Way To Dawn started to glow as he slowly got into stance.
Axel eyed the small charm that hung from the keyblade. A Heartless symbol. "Hmm... doesn't seem like you'll be any helpful for this war."

Once the heartless were disptached, Donald looked around frantically. "Where did he go?" there was really only one place.
Sora knew where to go, without a doubt - after all, it was Axel who had told him. The mansion. Where everything had begun. the advantage of being able to glide was he made up a lot of lost ground. the disadvantage... well it wasn;t FLYING.
he landed in the middle of town square, looking around a bit, before quick running the rest of the way to where he knew the crack in the wall was. He entered the dark forest and yelled suddenly. "Guys?!"

"Gwarsh, I don't know. He most be at the mansion by now." He was about to run towards the clearing when he heard Sora's voice. He stopped and looked back, seeing the brunette rushing after them.
"Gwarsh Sora, we lost Riku. He sped up ahead so he must be at the mansion by now. I hope he'd ok."
Riku kept his stance as he peered at Axel.
"Who put this idea in your head that us Nobody's don't exist?" Axel pulled up his hands in the question.
"Your name kind of gives it away, don't you think? You're nobodies. No one cares and you have 'no body'. You don't exist."
Axel closed his eyes and sighed. "You're really mean, you know that. I don't know why Sora actually likes you." His hands surrounded with fire as his chakram appeared. He gripped them tightly as he too got into stance. He knew he wasn't going to win a battle with the Soul Eater wielder seeing that HE was indeed a soul but the nature of Nobody's is to attack a Heartless...

Sora frowned a bit. "That figures. I'm sure he;s fine."
Donald crossed his wings. "Yeah he;s just like you."
"Hey what;s that supposed to mean!" Sora cried indignant. "Come on lets catch up!" he smiled at his animal friend before dashing forward towards the mansion.

Goofy hid a laugh but followed after Sora quickly.
Riku growled. This guy was wasting his time. Mickey and Diz taught him that Nobody's didn't exist... so why did they like to get in the way of things. Didn't Master Sid say the same thing? Unlike Sora, he didn't hear the story on what this war was about exactly.
"I need to get into that mansion and you're in my way."
"You could of just said excuse me~" The other taunted before he got rushed by an angry teen. He quickly jumped and flung fireballs down at the silver-haired boy who just quickly dodged them and rushed right up at him.
Axel's feet touched the top of the mansion and started to run off. He needed to get away from Riku. Seeing that he had a Soul Eater keyblade, just one swipe would be the end of the lovable red-head. However, Riku was right on his tail.
Up and up they jumped, Axel getting away by a hair as Riku slashed away. With roofs coming short, Axel started to panic and Riku could tell. When the teen found a good spot, he jumped and pushed the keyblade under him, only to fall right through the roof as he missed the quick Nobody. Axel stopped and panted as he looked back at the hole in the roof.
Suddenly a cloud of dust arose from it as Riku finally hit something inside. There was silence, just some singing from some birds. The chakram disappeared as he slowly looked over the side of the hole. Just a bunch of rubble.

Donald just huffed, hurrying after his brunette friend.
Sora hurried to the clearing, looking around frantically. the gate wasn;t open.... but the smell of burnt grass met him as he walked around. Sora panicked, worrying about Riku. "Riku?!"
Was he inside? how did he get in? he didn;t jump the gate... did he? he rasied the keyblade, not even thinking about it. the lock on the gate clicked and the doors swung open. he hurried into the courtyard, frantic. He looked up suddenly, hearing a crack like something crumbled within the house - a wall or... the roof?
A flash of red met his eyes. "Axel!!"

Goofy quickly rushed behind Sora. Looking around, he couldn't see Riku anywhere. He blinked when he heard the sound of the gates opening and rushed after Sora once more. Something didn't seem right. He looked up with Sora to see the red-head.
Axel looked down at them and sighed, shrugging his shoulder. "You're friend got a little carried away I think... he fell through the roof." He called down at them.

Donald frowned a bit. what was going on? where they supposed to trust Axel now?
"He did?!" Sora laughed a little. somehow that wasn;t very graceful of his best friend. He tilted his ehad slighty. it didn;t take a genius to figure out what had happened. Riku had overreacted... again.
and tried to hurt Axel. Roxas thought scatchingly.
"Are you alright?" he yelled up to the red-head, honestly concerned.
