Walking the grounds of Oblivion Castle with Riku, I said, "Roxas has been found in Twilight Town."
"I know," Riku said. "DiZ placed him there while I tried to find Namine."
"Namine?" I asked, looking up at Riku. "Isn't she--"
"Yes," Riku replied. "Like Roxas is Sora's Nobody."
"So you and this DiZ guy are going to try and fuse Roxas and Sora back together?"
"Yes. We need Sora back in order to defeat Xemnas."
From the corner of my eye, I saw two Shadow Heartless try to slip away. "Riku! They heard us talking! They're going to report us to Xemnas!"
"Not if I can help it," Riku said, summoning his dark Keyblade.
Hearing rustling cloth, I spun around while summoning my smoke whips. Zuchax III stopped with the ends of his claws just brushing my stomach and my shoulder.
"Xangord!" Riku said thinking I had been wounded.
"I'm fine, go after them," I said to Riku. To Zuchax III, I asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'd ask the same of you," Zuchax III said, drawing back. "The member behind you is a fraud. He is Riku! The one who killed Zexion!"
"I know who he is," I replied. Looking over my shoulder, I saw Riku was still behind me. "Fool! Go! Get the two Heartless before they report to anyone! I'll be fine!"
"Xangord--"
"Go!"
"Fine, but be safe," Riku said, kissing my cheek.
As Riku chased off after the heartless, Zuchax III asked, "How can you be with him, Xan!? He killed Zexion!"
"Zu, think about what's happening!" I replied. "Ever since Marluxia tried to overthrow Xemnas, everything has been going downhill! Riku, myself, and others are doing what we can to stop Xemnas before he gets out of control!"
"I can't let him get away, Xan!" Zuchax III said, rushing forward. "He must pay for what he did to Zexion!"
"I don't want to fight you Zu," I replied, moving to head him off, "but I will if I must!"
