Maximum was quiet for the whole journey to the Usual Spot. She kept her green eyes at the ground with a frown. Roxas sighed at her behaviour; he didn't like to see her like this.

Pence and Olette were talking about the Old Mansion. Roxas walked up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arm around her waist. With his other hand, he cupped her face and she looked up at him with those bright green eyes which weren't filled with happiness or joy; they weren't the same. Her eyes were filled with sadness, sorrow and tears.

He leaned closer to her and kissed her. She kissed him back and let everything go. Shortly, he pulled away and pulled her closer to him in a hug. Maximum wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shoulder. She started sobbing her heart out silently and his grip on her tightened.

"Guys…" Pence mumbled and they pulled away. Max rubbed her eyes with her wrist and sniffed. Her cheeks were puffy and red. They went to the station to find Hayner, who was sitting on top of the Clock Tower. He was munching on a sea salt ice cream.

"Tomorrow we search the town." Hayner said.

"Next day's the fair." Pence smiled.

"The last day of summer!" Olette added.

"Don't say that! You'll give me an ulcer!" Hayner whined as he turned to Olette.

"Not if you explode from all that ice cream first!" Pence exclaimed and the brown eyed teen flinched at this. The dark haired boy and Olette laughed at this but Max and Roxas just looked at the ground with woeful faces.

They opened their eyes and blinked. Roxas arm was wrapped around her and their bodies were wrapped in a blanket. The red haired teen was facing the window and her boyfriend got out of bed. He wore shorts and stretched but then he changed for a moment. He changed into the boy from the dreams; Sora. Max yawned and stretched. Then she changed into the girl in her dreams; Mai. They changed into their respected appearances.

The red haired girl got out of bed and wore a short dressing gown. She walked into the bathroom and didn't look at the mirror. She brushed her teeth, gargled her mouth and spat out whilst she gripped onto the marble counter. The green eyed girl wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and held the counter again. She pulled herself up to meet her reflection.

Max's green eyes widened and she dragged her nails against the marble. She screamed very loudly and instantly her boyfriend came running in.

"What happened?" She turned to Roxas with tears falling down her cheeks. He gasped and walked up to her.

"I look…just like…her. And those…marks…" She looked at the mirror and her hair now ended at her shoulders and was curly. She had the marks under her eyes again. Max turned to Roxas again and shook her head.

"I don't like what's going on. This is not right Roxas, it's not right." She cried and he wrapped her arms around her waist. He pressed his lips onto hers with an enchanting, passionate and beautiful kiss. She pulled him closer to her and her back hit the counter. Roxas pulled away from her but his lips were still touching hers.

"I love you and you don't have to be scared. I'm with you." He whispered.

"I love you too, Roxas."

Roxas and Max entered the Usual Spot. They saw Pence, Hayner and Olette talking to each other and Max smiled.

"Hey guys!" Max called out but her smile dropped when they didn't acknowledge her presence.

"Guys." Roxas tried to touch Hayner's back but it was as if the brown eyed boy was a ghost. Max's breathing came out short and shaky and her hands started to shiver.

"What's going on?" She squeaked. They turned around and ran through them and the red haired girl's knees buckled. Roxas wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up. She looked up into those sapphire blue orbs.

"This is not right either." She picked up a picture and shook her head.

"Oh no." She whispered and Roxas looked at the picture too. The picture included Roxas and Max, but now it was only Hayner, Pence and Olette.

Max and Roxas went to the Back Alley. They looked at the two exits and just as they blinked those grey creatures appeared at each of them. Just as they turned to the Usual Spot, Axel appeared. He scratched the back of his head and looked at them.

"Look at what it's come to." He said and Max stared at him. He did look like her.

"I'd been given these icky orders to destroy you both, if you refuse come back with me. But I would never hurt my baby sister." He looked at her and she felt like something was stuck at her throat.

"We're…best friends, right?" Roxas asked.

"And you're my brother; you wouldn't hurt me…would you?" She asked suspiciously.

"Of course I wouldn't. But, I'm not used to being turned into a Dusk for…wait a sec, you guys remember now?!" He asked excitedly.

"I don't need proof; we look like each other and…in here…I know." She placed her hand onto her heart and smiled. He sighed at this; she didn't know the truth.

"Y-yeah." Roxas answered and looked around.

"Great! But, you know, gotta make sure and all. So ummm. What's our boss's name?" Roxas looked at Maximum and she furrowed her eyebrows. They both looked at Axel slightly confused. The red haired pyro looked down and sighed.

"Can't believe this." He mumbled and Roxas picked up a stick which turned into a Keyblade. Max looked around and saw a dog bone. She picked it up and huffed.

"Out of all things!" She said and it turned into the angelic Keyblade.

"Get ready to die!" She roared and started fighting. Axel smirked at this and shook his head; Max never changed. When she turned around, she saw Roxas who was about to fight Axel.

"Roxas! No, don't!" She called out and suddenly her brother froze.

"Roxas, Max, to the Mansion now! The time has come." A voice called from the sky. Just as they were about to leave, Maximum took one last glimpse at Axel. She felt a tear fall down her cheek.

As soon as Roxas left Axel sighed. "The Roxas I knew is long gone. But Max never changes. Fine, I see how it is." He said.

They ran through the Sandlot and fought many Dusks. Max and Roxas entered the Woods and there were even more Dusks waiting there. They fought alongside each other and defeated their enemies. But just as they were about to go to the Mansion more appeared.

"Roxas, you go and wait for me on the other side of the gates." Max said.

"But-"

"I'll be fine, just go." Roxas nodded at this and ran off. The red haired girl faced the five Dusks and started to fight.

Shortly after, she was covered with cuts and small bruises. She ran to the gates and saw they were closed and locked with Roxas on the other side.

"Maximum, behind you." She turned around and her eyes widened. There were around ten Dusks that cornered her to the gates. Max gulped at this. They moved like rubber and tiptoed up to her. This freaked her out and she yelped.

"Maximum!" She heard the voice said and defended herself with her Keyblade in front of her.

But then she opened her eyes and saw a teenager who wore the same coat as Axel. But he was much more muscular and he wore a blindfold over his eyes. He had long silver hair up to his shoulder blades. He had a Keyblade in his hand which had a white wing and black demon wing as the hand guard.

Max looked up at him and he turned to her. "Go, I'll take care of them." He said and she nodded at this.

"Thank you." She opened the gate but just as she was about to run into The Old Mansion with Roxas, the boy said something.

"She needs you, Max. I saved you and now I'm asking you to help her and Sora. He won't be the same without her. Go to her and be complete." She nodded at this; it was Riku. She ran into the Mansion with Roxas.
