She walked into the Grey Area and Maximum heard Axel exclaim. "SIS!" He ran towards her and was so happy to see his little sister. She smiled at him and held his hands. "You're okay!" The red haired nobody nodded at this.

"Maximum." She heard Roxas say her name and it was like someone stabbed her heart. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her closer to him and she blinked as her tears fell down her cheeks. "I was so worried about you." It was as if someone was strangling her and she felt like she was choking. Slowly her arms made their way to hug him back but that image came in her mind- the freaking kiss with Riku.

But then she fought it and hugged Roxas very tightly. She snuggled her face into the crook of his neck and whispered next to his ear, "I told you that I would be fine." His grip on her tightened.

"I see you have returned." Xemnas stated amused and Roxas and Maximum immediately pulled away. She turned around to see Xemnas and next to him was Saïx who stared at her very shocked. Maximum glared at Saïx but smirked in her mind.

'Pfft, superior's puppy!' She thought.

"Yes, I have returned." Maximum smiled sickly. They all felt that aura again, the aura of darkness and hate.

"But one thing that I don't understand, how did you fight with a Keyblade? You couldn't have defeated the Heartless with just magic." Saïx said.

"I don't need magic or a weapon to fight. My friends are my power and I'm theirs! I don't need a weapon, I..." She closed her eyes and paused.

"I won't just fight with my Keyblade; I'll fight with my heart."

She placed her hand onto her head but she couldn't show Xemnas how weak she was. Max looked up at him with deadly glare and growled. "I'm not weak, I ensure you that, superior."

"Is that so?" Xemnas asked. "Very well, everyone to Where Nothing Gathers, immediately." He ordered.

They all ended up at the very place Xemnas ordered them. Xion and Max didn't sit on their thrones. Just as the red haired nobody was going to go and sit at her throne Xemnas stopped her.

"Xion, sit down." He stated and no. XIV's green eyes widened.

"That mother..."

"Eri! Not now!" Max said in her head.

Xion made her way to Maximum's throne and sat on it. All the thrones rose up and she was left in the middle. A force field appeared around Max and she looked around.

Meanwhile, Jonathan appeared on the roof. He was still worried about Max when the next he saw was horrifying.

A Darkside appeared right in front of her. But this time it was much bigger in size and made the nobody look like an ant. Her face paled and her green eyes widened.

Demyx, Jonathan, Xion, Roxas and Axel looked extremely shocked. They looked at Xemnas with glares and pleading looks. "Max, this is your test. If you do not defeat this Heartless and summon your Keyblade, you will be of no use to this Organisation and will be turned into a Dusk." Roxas couldn't believe it. He was absolutely frozen, couldn't say anything or do anything. Axel grinded his teeth together and gripped his fists so hard that they started to tremble.

Maximum on the other hand looked up at the Darkside and sighed. She had to defeat this thing, not only for herself but for Axel and Roxas. "And you are not allowed to use magic." Saïx shouted and Max closed her eyes. Dark clouds were in her hands and she opened her eyes with a hard stare.

"You messed with the wrong nobody, Xemnas." Max hissed under her breath and dashed at the Darkside. She shot all kinds of blasts at the Heartless but this didn't make a difference. This only angered him and he waved massive hand at her. She just about dodged it in a back flip.

They were fighting and she was losing. She was covered in blood and Roxas shook his head. Xion was panting as the tears fell down her cheeks. Max didn't deserve this at all.

She was on the floor sitting upright against the force field and breathing heavily. Her vision was going blurry and she fluttered her eyes. But through her vision she could see the Darkside making its way towards her. He lifted his leg and she knew what he was going to do; squash her. Roxas and Axel's eyes widened, they couldn't believe it.

She closed her green eyes maybe for the last time and then everyone's faces appeared in her mind; Aqua, Demyx, Jonathan, Xion, Axel, Riku and finally Roxas. She raised her hand to try and stop the beast's foot from squashing. But then a bright light appeared and blinded everyone but the red haired girl kept her eyes open.

When the light died down, they all gasped, but the most shocked of those were Maximum, Saïx and especially Xemnas. In her hand was a Keyblade.

{Thanks for the keyblade design TheDex08. I colored it with Ibis paint X, an app that also helps me with my covers on Wattpad.}

The red haired nobody stood up and stared down at her Keyblade. "I've waited a long time." She mumbled and looked up at the Darkside. Her emotionless face turned twisted.

"Let's fight fire with fire." She dashed at the Heartless and started to fight with all her might.

Max skidded back and panted with a smirk on her face. "Oh, you're a tough one, aren't you?" The Darkside roared at this and Demyx, Jonathan, Xion and Roxas jumped and gulped at this. But Max on the other hand laughed like hysterically and mentally. They all watched her and that power inside of her was going to blow. She held her Keyblade in the air and her laughing became louder.

Suddenly, something came out of Max that made everyone's eyes widen. It was like Xehanort's Guardian, but it was Eri instead. She was enormous but was still smaller than the Heartless.

"The darkness will finish you. I will finish you because I am the darkness." Max and Eri spoke at the same time, but Eri's voice sounded like a demon. Both Maximum and her guardian started to fight the Darkside and the Heartless got weaker by the minute.

When the Darkside was unable to fight anymore, Eri wrapped her arms around his neck from behind him and smirked at Maximum who returned her smirk with a sick smile. She started to run really quickly whilst dragging her Keyblade on the ground.

She jumped way up high up to the Darkside's chest where his heart would be. The red haired nobody floated in the air just like Ansem and held her weapon with both hands over her head. Maximum and Eri turned their heads towards Xemnas with twisted, wicked and cruel smiles.

"I heard everything the day I failed to protect myself, oh superior. How I would be useless to this Organisation." They said in perfect sync and started laughing. Xemnas had no emotion on his face but his orange eyes were filled with anger and irritation.

"Oh, I am not very useless to this Organisation, now, am I? Allow me to demonstrate why, BEHOLD!" Max pierced the Keyblade into the Darkside and it roared with pain.

Xion grinded her teeth together and gripped onto her hair, the dark haired girl felt this agonisingly painful headache as she saw something behind closed eyes.

Riku pierce the Keyblade into Maleficent's heart and Mai herself felt it pierce into her heart. "BEHOLD!"

Xion started to scream and jumped down. She opened a Corridor of Darkness and disappeared into it. Max watched her and her eyes were soft, 'Is she...okay?' She thought but brushed it off. Jonathan also watched and decided to follow Xion.

Xion...

The dark haired nobody sat on her bed as she hugged her shoulders against her chest. She was slowly rocking herself gently, trying to calm herself down. 'I keep on seeing these memories, but what are they? More importantly, who am I, what am I?' She thought.

Jonathan entered the room and saw Xion. She gasped, "Jonathan! You're okay-!"

"Shh! You can't let anyone know I'm here!" He whispered.

"Why?"

"Xion... I really can't tell you." He mumbled very quietly and she looked up at him with tears filled in her eyes. He sat next to her and placed his hand on her head.

"I watched everything from the roof and... You just screamed out of the blue, is everything okay?" The blue haired nobody asked.

"It's cruel..." She said and Jonathan frowned at this.

"Xion, Max is only doing this to survive. She had to do it." She looked up into his eyes and shook her head.

"No, I didn't mean that. I meant, why is Xemnas doing this to her?" Jonathan sighed stressfully at this and shook his head.

"I don't know. If he's trying to help her and encourage her to summon her weapon, but it's wrong." Xion nodded at this and looked down.

"I...keep on seeing these memories...which aren't my own." Jonathan raised his eyebrows at this; what could Xion be talking about? She looked up into his grey eyes and her sapphire blue eyes sparkled innocently.

"The reason why I screamed was because I saw this boy stab his Keyblade into someone's heart just like how Maximum did with the Darkside. Then this girl screamed and covered her eyes. She looked like..." Xion paused.

"Who did she look like, Xion?" Thomas asked.

"Maximum, but the girl had curly red hair which was up to her shoulders. That girl, she covered her eyes. The next thing I know the memories were all blurry when another boy noticed the girl screaming, I could tell that he held her against him." Xion placed her hand onto her forehead and closed her eyes. Jonathan eyes were wide as plates but he continued to listen.

"I couldn't see what he look like. But, the girl she fell onto her knees and started to tremble. She begged the boy with the Keyblade to stop but he didn't." She started to tremble herself and Jonathan placed his hand onto hers. Then he thought about something; what if she was the same thing he was? Is that why she has Roxas' keyblade?

"I don't know what's going on with me. Jonathan, I keep on seeing these memories and they're giving me headaches. I don't what they are or what they mean. But, I don't who am I or what...am I?" He lowered his gaze to the floor. He sighed and got up.

"I've been asking myself those questions myself." She looked at him curiously. "Well, you wanna find the answers with me? I wanna know why I was created and maybe even be whole. I'll... I'll stay with you until we can."

She smiled and nodded, "Thanks Jonathan... You're a real friend!"
