After leaving the Pride Lands, I noticed that Twilight Town had reappeared.

"Sora, look! Twilight Town is back!" I said. He took immediate notice to it.

"Let's head there!" Sora said. We landed in Twilight Town. I felt a huge rush of nostalgia wash over me as we landed in Tram Common. Then, I saw the boy, Vivi, running franticly and calling for help.

"H-Help! The sandlot! It's Seifer! Somebody please help us!" Vivi yelled.

"Sounds like we've got trouble!" Yami said. We hurried to the sandlot. I saw that Seifer and his 2 friends, Rai and Fuu, were laying unconscious on the ground. I noticed the Struggle bat next to Seifer. Poor guy probably tried to fight them off, but that bat wouldn't have any effect on them. Sora and me stood in front of them.

"Stay down!" I said.

"We'll take it from here!" Sora said. Dealing with the Dusks was easy. I jumped into the air and pointed my keyblade at the Nobodies.

"Here we go!" I shouted and performed my Last Resort on to the Nobodies, eradicating all of them. I reverted from Wisdom Form.

"Impressive." a voice said. That's when I heard someone clapping as if applauding. I looked to see a member of the Organization. "By the way, have you seen a man named Axel? I expect he's here somewhere."

"Like we care." Sora said.

"You see, Axel is no longer acting in our best interest." the unknown said.

"Is he with the Organization, too?" Goofy asked.

"Yes." the unknown said.

"You havin' a fight?" Donald asked.

"Your not a very organized Organization are you?" Sora asked. The man pointed to him.

"Don't let your guard down. Axel will stop at nothing to turn you into Heartless." the unknown said. I growled as me and Yami stood protectively in-between them.

"Gee, thanks for looking out for us. But I know we can take care of ourselves just fine and dandy." I said.

"Glad to hear it. Axel aside, it would break our hearts to hear something happened to the both of you." the unknown said.

"What hearts? You're just empty shells." I said.

"True, we don't have hearts. But we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special." the unknown said. He removed his hood, revealing his face. Wait... he looked like-

"Isa!" My eyes were full of tears as I realized my own brother was turned into a heartless. I felt Sora, Donald and Goofy look at me weird.

"Do ya know him, Piri?" Goofy asked. I wasn't sure how to answer. This guy was the Nobody of Isa, I knew for sure.

"I am no longer Isa. I am known only as Saïx." That's when I saw it. His eyes were yellow-gold, like Xehanort's! A portal appeared behind him. "Sora, Reese, both of you just worry about fighting the Heartless." Saïx answered.

"Let's jump in after him!" Sora whispered.

"How come?" Donald asked.

"That portal might lead us to the Nobody's world." I said.

"Don't be reckless. Do you want to end up like Riku?" Saïx asked. That question made my heart drop into my stomach.

"What?" Sora asked. Saïx walked into the portal and vanished.

"Wait!" I shouted. Had something happened to Riku since I last saw him?

"Hey, how 'bout you get out of my town now? You've caused enough trouble." Seifer said.

Yami growled and got in his face, "Listen here, buster brown! We aren't in the mode for your shit right now! I'll have you know we helped your sorry asses and once more-"

I pulled her away before she full on attacks this guy. "Yami, calm down. He's not worth it."

"Riku..." Sora mumbled.

"Have it your way! C'mon, guys!" Donald said.

"Hold it!" Seifer said.

"Make up your mind!" Donald and Yami huffed. Seifer held up a trophy with 5 crystal balls. "This goes to the strongest guy in Twilight Town." He was talking to Sora.

"Thanks, but... we don't really need it." Sora said. Seifer didn't take no for an answer and shoved the trophy to Goofy. He and his group left. I heard footsteps behind us and looked to see Pence.

"Oh! Sora!" Pence called.

"Pence! Is something wrong?" He asked then he looked at me.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Piri and that's Yami over there." I introduced myself and her to him.

"Good thing you found two of your friends!" Then he gasped, "Oh yeah! Do you guys know Kairi?" Pence asked. Just like that, my heart leapt back into my chest.

"K... Kairi!? We sure do!" Sora exclaimed.

"Then you guys better come to the station." Pence said. We hurried to the station where Hayner and Olette were waiting.

"Hi. So how do the 3 of you know Kairi?" I asked. The 3 of them shared a sad look and then began to tell us. I gasped as the name of Irix came up.

"Kairi and Irix were really here!?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah. And... they said they were looking for you 2." Hayner said.

"Tell us where they are!" I begged.

Hayner recounted how the girls suddenly appeared in Twilight Town and how they were wanting to find Sora and Piri.

"What a romantic story!" Olette said.

"If you stick around, Sora and Piri are bound to show up." Pence said.

"Yeah, they said they'd come back." Hayner said.

"Okay!" Kairi said.

"I hope so." Irix said. Just then a voice came from nowhere.

"What took you and Irix so long, Kairi?" a familiar voice asked. A dark corridor opened on one side of the room to reveal Axel. Irix gasped and stood up. As she was about to summon her blade, a dusk came and wrapped around her, immobilizing her and covering her mouth. "Somehow, I just knew you girls would be here. I tell ya, Kairi, you and Irix have a lot of guts jumping right into the darkness like that." Axel pointed towards the portal and the dusk jumped in with the duchess. He then started toward the auburn girl. Both Hayner and Pence tried to stop him, but both were brushed off by the Nobody. Axel harshly grabbed the young princess's wrist and pulled her into the corridor.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Kairi demanded and they left. Pluto followed them The corridor vanished.

My Pov

"Irix..." a tear ran down my cheek and Yami put a hand on my shoulder.

Sora pulled out the Wayfinder Kairi had made a year ago and sadly looked at it.

"Kairi..." Sora sadly said. He put the charm back into his pocket.

"Do ya think it mighta have been Axel?" Goofy asked.

"Sorry..." Hayner said. They were upset that they couldn't stop him.

"It's not your fault! You did what you could." I said that, but I couldn't help but feel sad. If only we had gotten here sooner.

"We've gotta help them!" Sora sudden outburst and caused Goofy to drop the trophy, which caused the 5 crystals to fall off. Hayner picked up the red one, Olette picked up the yellow one and Pence picked up the green one.

"That was close!" Pence said. The blue one and orange one hadn't gone too far. Sora picked up the blue crystal and I picked up the orange crystal. Goofy took out the blue crystal from the pouch and Donald took out the orange crystal. We held them out toward the sun and the others did the same.

For a brief moment, Sora became Roxas and Piri became Irix. The 2 teens were in a daze, but soon snapped out of it at the sound of Donald's voice. The 2 snapped their attention to their friends. A strong wind blew around them as the 2 crystals began to glow. They floated into the air, circling each other. Sora and Piri stood back to back and pointed their Keyblades to the ground. A string of light shot from the orbs and reveal the Keyhole. Together, the key bearer and seeress unlocked the Keyhole. The group left Twilight Town, following the new road that had been opened.
