Roxas' and Namine's Return (2 in 1)

On the last battlefield were Kairi and Lea fighting against a hooded girl and Ïsa when Lux, John, and Nesiara arrived.

"Those two carry so much light in them," says Lux looking at Lea and Kairi fighting against Ïsa and the hooded girl.

Lea and Kairi were overpowering them easily which didn't surprise John and Nesiara since Lea was trained by them for a quarter of a century while Kairi was trained for half a year by them.

"They are your descendants," says Nesiara as Lux smiled out of happiness from seeing her descendants.

"Leon would always tell me about them but seeing them is a whole other thing," says Lux as she was watching them.

"We should intervene in this fight. You can literally feel the pain all four are under," says Nesiara as John nods before taking one step from the wall before falling towards the ground followed by the other two.

They landed and John and Nesiara were a bit surprised that Lux could use Ki for a moment before they hear, "Leon thought it would be useful to learn some of his techniques."

"Well let's make sure that we don't kill them," says Nesiara as she rushed in first followed by John and Lux.

Nesiara went between the hooded girl and Kairi while John caught Lea and Ïsa before they clashed against each other again.

"That is enough!" shouts Nesiara as Haki was infused in her shout making them stop for real when she says, "Why are you even fighting when no one of you four wants to. Everyone can feel that you don't want to fight each other."

"She is right," says Lux as Kairi and Lea looked at her wanting to know who she is.

Lux, on the other hand, walked to the girl which was hiding her face and removes her hood before saying, "You don't want to fight your friend, and yet you are doing so, why?"

Lea could now see her face and was surprised when he wanted to grab Ïsa by his collar for doing this when he hears, "I had no choice. I am just a puppet made to do this."

"Oh girl," says Lux taking her into her arms before the girl begins to cry and Nesiara approaches her and pets her head.

"We are all puppets in the eyes of a greater being so don't feel alone," says Nesiara as the girl felt their warmth.

On the other side, Lea was quite angry as he wanted to release his fury on his former childhood friend when John stops him and says, "You two should talk in private about your feeling and why you are doing what you are doing before judging each other."

"What do you mean? He brought back a person against her will just to fight her friend," says Lea as John looks at him seriously.

"Every person has a reason behind his actions. You haven't even asked him why he is doing that. I still remember a redhead that came to Destiny Islands to kidnap a girl just so he could get his friend back," says John as he reminded Lea of his past actions.

This calmed things a bit down when John says, "Just talk and if there is no other solution then we will fight but both of you are feeling pain while fighting each other which makes me think that neither of you tried to understand each other for a long time now."

John then leaves the two behind so they can talk while Lux let go of the girl before grabbing Kairi and says, "It is nice to see that there are three of my descendants running around instead of only two."

"Three Descendants?" asks Kairi as she was confused with Lux still not knowing who she is.

"Yes, you, the boy over there, and the girl inside of you," says Lux as she could see Namine inside Kairi which surprised Kairi a lot.

"How do you-" says Kairi when Nesiara smiles at her.

"She is Leon's wife, Lux Crownguard," says Nesiara as this shocked Kairi now.

"That can't be," says Kairi in disbelief as Lux took her in her arms before.

"Why should it be impossible if you are carrying two hearts inside of you," says Lux as she petted Kairi's head.

"But your hair colors really are quite unique since they a red instead of blond or golden," says Lux as she passed her fingers through Kairi's hair when John joins them.

"What happened to Axel and Saïx?" asks the girl nervous as John smiles at her.

"They are talking out their differences in the meantime shouldn't we talk about you, Xion," says John as Xion was surprised that John knew his name.

"What do you want to talk about?" asks Xion nervous thinking that something will happen when John continues to pet her head.

"How about you become Kairi's sister?" asks John which was a more indirect way of adopting her into the family since she would need a place to retreat to as Lea and Kairi have in the future.

"What do you mean?" asks Xion as she didn't understand what John wanted to say when Nesiara walked towards them.

"How about if we just adopt her as our own? Logan did the same before for Sasuke. We can do the same for Xion," says Nesiara as she wanted to take a whole higher step than just accept her into the family.

"What are you talking about?" asks Xion completely confused now.

"If we do we should change her name from Xion to Shion so she can forget about the bad memories tied to that name," says John as he had nothing against it.

"What John was asking before was if you want to become our daughter?" asks Nesiara as Xion was confused with why they would adopt her when suddenly a Replica was falling from the sky.

"Just in time," says John as he jumps to catch it leaving both behind.

Xion was looking at John catching the Replica before going towards Kairi with it when she hears Nesiara say, "Watch what will happen next."

Xion nods as she spectated what John was about to do when Kairi began to shine and something left her body and entered the Replica which took the shape of Namine.

"Welcome back," says John as he was holding Namine in his arms before placing her on the ground when Lux grabbed her having now Kairi and Namine in her arms.

"Is that-" says Xion as Nesiara nods.

"Yes, Namine. She was the Nobody of Kairi before she developed a heart for herself. Just like you," says Nesiara as she places her finger on Xion's chest.

"You have a heart down there beating to be free of all the pain you were feeling just some moments ago don't you," says Nesiara which made Xion cry for a bit before Nesiara took her in her arms.

"Now how about we join the others until other groups arrive," says Nesiara as they walked over when Vincent and Yui arrived at their position carrying a Replica with Riku and Sora.

"We got the Replica as John requested from us," says Vincent as he placed the empty husk on the ground when John walked towards it.

"It was used but he should be able to enter it," says John as he looked at Sora.

"You mean Roxas?" asks Sora as John smiles at him.

"Yes, he should be strong enough to enter and destroy the remains of the last person inside the Replica and make it his own," says John as he explained that the other Replica was clean and perfect for a defenseless girl like Namine.

A Fighter like Roxas should be able to take over this body without trouble as Sora's body began to shine before the same thing that happened to Kairi happened to him just that the transformation of the Replica took a bit longer before Roxas was standing in front of them.

Xion who was in Nesiara's arms saw Roxas standing there surrounded by Riku, Sora, and John when Nesiara let her go so she could join them.

"I am back?" asks Roxas not sure himself when John pets his head.

"Welcome back but there are people that want to meet you," says John as he moved away knowing who was coming his way when Xion jumped and crashed directly into him.

Roxas was now on the ground holding his head not knowing what was going on when he hears, "It really is you, Roxas."

"Xion?" asks Roxas confused when he got a good look at who was on top of him and he says, "Xion, you are alive."

"Of course," says Xion as she began to cry again before John lifted her up from Roxas.

"I have my eyes on you," says John to Roxas as he placed Xion back on the ground before helping Roxas up.

"I know that line," says Vincent as he experienced it before.

"What do you mean?" asks Roxas confused as Sora and Riku were the same.

"That means that Xion might become my little sister," says Yui as she smiled at them before saying, "Good luck to all three of you. The Big Teddy Bear might look harmless but if you make his daughter cry he will become a Grizzly that will tear you apart."

"I survived him quite well. Just hang in there and show him that you are serious about it and he will let you court her. That goes to all three of you since Kairi is almost like a daughter to him going by what I saw when they visited us," says Vincent giving them advice since he survived John.

John was looking at Xion as he asks again if she would become their daughter since Roxas had his three friends in Twilight Town if a fight were to happen between them.

"You will be living with Lea. We just want you to have a place to go to if you can't go to your friend to ask for advice and going by their decisions of the past I would rather ask of you to ask Nesiara or me before you ask Lea or Axel," says John as Lea and Roxas weren't the brightest in the mind department like Sora and most of the others.

"You will even share the same family name as Kairi and Lea and you have quite a big family scattered over many worlds which will protect you from harm as we are trying to do right now," says Nesiara as Xion was thinking about it when Nesiara smiles and says, "Think about it you have as much time as you need. It's not like we will disappear out of nowhere."

"Thanks," says Xion as Lea returned with Ïsa.

"Axel, Saïx," says Xion hugging both of them as she could feel that they talked out their differences.

"I wanted to ask you for the seal that you gave me before for Ïsa," says Axel as he looked at John and Nesiara.

"Why haven't you created it then. Twenty-five years of training and you can't make a simple seal?" asks John as he was angry that Lea forgot that he could make one himself since he learned it from John in the Jungle.

"It has been some years since I made such a seal," says Lea scratching his head as John sighs.

"That's why I want you to come to me or Nesiara when you have questions," says John joking about it as he created one rapidly before temping with it so Ïsa would appear beside Lea and not him.

"Alright, did Lea told you how to use it?" asks John as Ïsa nods.

"I spill blood over it," says Ïsa as John nods.

"I hope to see you soon then," says John as he punched a hole into Ïsa's abdomen making him return into Darkness.

"Saïx! What have you done!" shouts Xion not believing that John would kill him when Lea stops her.

"He just returned Ïsa back to his real body," says Lea explaining that when a Nobody does he or she returns to their original body.

"That would happen normally but the Old Man wants to use us to create the Ultimate Keyblade for that he needs our Darkness," says Xion as Lea looked at John wanting an answer if that is true.

"It is as she says, but we have a way to bring him and all the others back. That's why I said before that my path isn't the same as yours remember in the Mysterious Tower," says John as Lea nods.

"Our path is to save our son and this Universe by destroying the Light and Darkness complete. That is for what we fight for," says Nesiara as Vincent and Yui approach them.

"The boys are now a bit nervous after hearing that they will have to fend off a Grizzly if they want to date the girl they love," says Yui as Lea didn't know her.

"They should be," says John with a scary smile.

"The boys? You mean Sora and Riku," says Lea as John nods before pointing at Roxas who was with his back to them.

"And your lost friend as well," says John as Lea wasn't believing what he was seeing.

He thought it was Ventus in a black coat for a second before he sees Roxas wave his hand at him when John pushed him forward while saying, "Give him a big hug in the meantime we will deal with Xehanort and Leon."

Lea rushes towards Roxas before lifting him from the ground while giving him an earful of complaints when Nesiara pushed Xion to them as well since it was a reunion for them.

"She looks a lot like I did before Jack changed me," says Yui as she took a good look at Xion.

"She has blue eyes compared to your black eyes and her hair is shorter while yours was longer. And you were far cuter than she is," says John as Yui was his favorite child and he couldn't deny it even if he loves all of his children.

"Well, she is a teen after all," says Nesiara as she didn't have a favorite between the siblings.

"Shall we wait for the others?" asks Vincent as he was examining his guns just to make sure they are ready to be used.

"Yes, they should be coming soon," says John when Kieron, Aerith, and Yuffie arrived while Kieron was carrying Mickey.

He placed Mickey down while saying, "If Ifalna and Grimoire could see you. They would be all over you, King Mickey."

"Why would they be all over me?" asks Mickey not knowing much when Kieron took out his phone and showed him a cartoon in which showed Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in their everyday life.

"The children really love watching your cartoons even if it isn't you," says Kieron when Riku walked over towards them.

"Mickey," says Riku as Mickey was relieved that Riku was alright when he saw Roxas standing beside Lea and Xion.

"Sora, Riku, and Mickey," says John as they turned towards him.

"Yes?" asks Sora confused why John called him.

"You should continue on the path and get to Xehanort. I will be joining you shortly after," says John as he looked sad about something when he turns to where the last battle will take place.

"We have only one chance to chance everything let us not waste this opportunity that destiny played us," says John as they nod before they rush towards where Xehanort and the last three were waiting.

"You sounded quite dramatic," says Yui as she was slowly thinking that Jack was right about John trying to sacrifice himself to save Leon.

"If everything goes as planned then it will be a comedy instead of a drama," says John with a smile trying to find the positive in what he is going to do.

Kairi sees the others leave and sneak right behind them trying to catch up while Lux only smiles at her since she could feel the love Kairi feels for Sora and didn't want to stop her.

Soon the last group accompanied by Terra, Aqua, and Ventus arrived when Nesiara notices that Kairi is missing and says to John, "Kairi isn't here."

"That Fool," says John as he looked towards Lux.

He rushes at her and asks, "Where did she go?"

"She went after the boy she loves. I didn't want to stand in her way," says Lux when John was angry but not with Lux but himself.

"I need to make sure that she doesn't temper with the plan," says John as he tries to track her using the seal on her body when he looks at Nesiara.

She nods and John disappears. The children were now nervous and wanted to follow John when Nesiara created a barrier that blocked everyone from leaving.

"Mom, what are you doing?" asks Nora as she was nervous something uncharacteristic of her.

"I am holding you all here until your father has succeeded with this part of the plan. Once he has done so we will reunite with him to defeat the Seven Lights and Thirteen Darknesses once and for all," says Nesiara as Nora was feeling the same vibe when Bran died.

"What if you are wrong?" asks Yui as Nesiara looked at her oldest.

"When was the last time your father lied to us," says Nesiara which made Yui hold her tongue.

John never lied since he turned into a father. This made many of the children nervous since this situation just smelled like sacrificing himself.

On John's side, John arrives at the right moment Kairi was still only watching when John places his hand on her shoulder scaring her hard enough for her to jump two meters away from him.

"What are you doing here?" asks Kairi once she realized that it was John.

"Saving my stubborn descendant from losing her boyfriend," says John looking seriously at Kairi.

"You shouldn't be here it is too dangerous for you," says John as the three Keyblade Wielder on the platform won against Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort.

"I can't just watch while they always risk their lives to save us all," says Kairi angry as Sora, Riku, and Mickey were pushed back by Xehanort.

Xehanort summoned Kingdom Hearts before he attacks Sora when Kairi shot out of her position towards Xehanort while John followed right behind her.

Kairi pushed Xehanort back for a moment only to find out that the old man was stronger than he looked when he prepared to give Kairi the final strike. John caught Kairi and trapped her in his arms using his body to protect her.

Xehanort strikes John's back instead of Kairi making John slowly turn to glass when John smiles at the shocked Kairi.

Kairi was in disbelief as she says, "No, that can't be happening."

"Don't worry I will be back in one moment," says John as his face turned to glass before he shattered turning into one of the Gazing Eyes around Xehanort.

"He wasn't supposed to take the attack," says Xehanort before looking at the four wielders on the platform.

"But that doesn't matter for what I am about to do," says Xehanort as he looked at them before the Keyblades fused into the X-blade.

He then began with his plan and Nesiara lifted the barrier holding everyone inside as Darkness rained from the sky and Nesiara knew that John wasn't between the living at this moment.

"He is gone," says Yui angry when Vincent knocked her out.

"He isn't completely gone. I can still feel a faint essence of him," says Lux as she could still feel him.

"Then the plan worked," says Nesiara as she was showing relief on her face.

"What now?" asks Vincent holding Yui in his arms.

"Now we wait for Leon to make his move," says Nesiara as the first part of their plan was a success.

"But first we need to help Sora stop Xehanort," says Nesiara as they all begin to move as a united towards the platform the other four were.

Arriving there they find a Heartbroken Kairi thinking it was her fault that John died not knowing that he wasn't gone yet.

"Kairi," says Nesiara as Kairi looked at her feeling guilty about what happened to John.

"John is fine. He is too stubborn to die like that," says Nesiara as Kairi was confused when John's words ringed in her ears.

"But why would he go to such length?" asks Kairi now worried instead of guilty when Nesiara petted her head making her feel reassured.

"One sacrifice was needed and Xehanort wanted you and not John. We knew that and implements it in our plan to finish this war once and for all," says Nesiara not revealing more than needed while the others were talking about how to stop what was going on.
