Axel killed Jason for a few seconds…and now Jason has to face Nobodies even tougher.
Somewhere in space: "Estimated time of arrival to 城堡 Oblivion: 6 hours." Sora groaned. His childlike impatience wouldn't allow for a six 小时 wait time! The Organization could take over the worlds in six hours! "Calm down, Sora." Kairi soothed, placing a hand on Sora's shoulder. In the cockpit of the Gummi-ship, Sora was seated in the captain's seat. Kairi and Riku were seated in chairs on his left and right sides, respectively. Riku snorted derisively. "You have to stop babying him, Kairi." Kairi began to lecture Riku as Sora cracked a grin. He really appreciated Kairi coming to his defense, time and time again. If nurtured the feelings he had for her…
Third Basement, entrance hall. Same time: "Wake up, sleeping beauty. Wake uuuuppp…" The patronizing "You're five years old" tone roused Jason out of his sleep faster than a bucket of cold water. Out of the corner of his eye, he noted Xion and Itzal waking up as well. Somehow, Jason knew he was going to feel panicked within twenty seconds. "Larx. Honey." he asked slowly. "How long were we out?" It was a testament to how bad the situation was that Larxene didn't react to being called "Honey". Instead, she pointed to the clock. It read: 43hrs19mins. Eight hours. They had slept for eight straight hours, and now they had less than two days left. Larxene watched with amusement as the three began to panic. She couldn't blame them for being so tired, though. Jason died during the last battle. She would be tired too. To spare them, Larxene lifted the World card in the air, opening the door. The group stopped panicking, and Jason stepped forward. "So you're helping us from here on out," Jason said. "Welcome to the team." He smiled widely along with Itzal and Xion. Larxene returned the smile and walked through the door with them.
First floor: "Luxord, how would 你 like to redeem yourself?" The blond Brit raised his eyebrow at Xemnas's question. "I did not realize I needed redeeming," Luxord stated flatly. Xemnas glared at him until Luxord quailed. "You are the only other fatality," Xemnas spat from his monitor, "You should feel lucky I bothered to revive you. So if 你 don't want to be redeemed, I'll simply turn 你 into a Dusk." Luxord sighed, conceding defeat. Whatever Xemnas wanted him to do, Luxord would have no choice but to obey. "What do 你 need, governor?"
Beast's castle: The group found themselves unceremoniously dumped onto a balcony just outside of the castle. "Oh!" Jason exclaimed as he got back on his feet. "Have 你 been here before?" Xion asked. "No, Jason was just noting how lovely the 墙 looks." Larxene responded. As sparks flew off between the two, Itzal tapped Jason on the shoulder. When he turned around, Itzal sent him a look that said, "Women. Am I right?" Jason nodded. The redhead cleared his throat to catch the girls attention. When he had it, he said, "An old friend of mine is in there. Maybe he'll guide us out of here. Come on, let's get in the castle." The rest of the group followed.
First basement floor: Xemnas waited patiently as Naminé doodled in the corner. «Any 秒 now…» A Dark Corridor opened up and Roxas walked out of it. Not five 分钟 later, the two Nobodies began to talk and giggle. The sliver-haired Superior, in a rare 显示 of sympathy, gave them a while to enjoy each other's company. Then Xemnas walked up behind the two and tapped them on the shoulder. Roxas and Naminé jumped up in fright and looked at Xemnas, who cleared his throat. "Number XIII. I suppose 你 want to even the score with Jason." Roxas looked uncertain, so Xemnas fed some venom in his ear. "May I remind 你 that he hurt both your best 老友记 and one even now walks with him?" Roxas shuddered at Xion's betrayal and Axel's 最近的 defeat. He remained uncertain for a minute…then his sky-blue eyes filled with anger. "Yes, I want to get even with Jason." Roxas stated, "Why do 你 ask?" Xemnas smiled. "Your assistance is needed. But not just yours, but Naminé's as well." Roxas turned to his girlfriend excitedly. "Hear that, Naminé? Xemnas is going to help us!" Naminé wished herself gone. The Superior had brainwashed Roxas into a flurry of vengeance. And Naminé was getting dragged along for the ride…
城堡 ballroom: The group entered the 城堡 to find Belle dancing with someone…but it wasn't the Beast. It was a human man wearing Beast's clothing. He had bright blue eyes, and brown hair that reached halfway down his back. His face was handsomely rugged. Larxene's eyes lit up at the chance to inflict misery. She floated gently to the couple and 说 lightly, "Hello again, Belle. I don't believe you've introduced me to your new boyfriend. Whatever happened to the Beast?" The couple had stopped dancing, and the man began to chuckle. "No, I have met you. My name is Prince Adam. Though when your loved one rescued you, my form and name was that of the Beast." Larxene flushed with humiliation while Jason congratulated Prince Adam and Xion and Itzal looked at each other, confused. Seeing this, Jason gave the adolescents a quick overview of the story between Belle and Beast.
Once this happened, Itzal committed the story to memory for later review and Xion sighed contendly at the romance of the tale. Meanwhile, Larxene had gotten over her humiliation and asked, "So…you wouldn't mind telling me what's occurred since we last met?" Belle gestured over to the Beast/Prince Adam, who was having a conversation with Jason. "We were married shortly after Beast turned back into a human. I would have invited 你 two, but when we mentioned your name to Sora, he flew into a rage and we couldn't get another word out of him. Which I find strange because Sora's normally cheerful…" Larxene acted as if she had no idea who this "Sora" was. As an innocent aside, Larxene asked coyly, "Though I can't imagine what it takes to make a marriage works. I was under the impression that it's impossible, actually…" Belle snorted, most unlike her but she knew that Larxene wasn't just being innocent. "Well I won't say it's impossible, but only truly strong women are capable of making marriage work," Belle responded, "Weak women are the kind that don't even try, and instead make empty snide 评论 about other people." Larxene mentally winced. "Touché, Belle," she conceded, "But don't think you'll be able win against me."
Jason finished going over the escape plan with Prince Adam. But when the two men finished talking, they were able to eavesdrop on Belle and Larxene as they began their battles of wits. "Man…that's some woman," Jason muttered appreciatively as he watched Belle match the Savage Nymph insult for insult. Adam shook his head. "You have no idea just how headstrong Belle can be. But most of the time she's sweet and really caring." Jason seemed really thoughtful about this. Adam instinctively knew what the redhead was thinking, and said, "Just as Belle tamed me when I was the Beast, the person most suited to tame the beast inside of Larxene is you, my friend." Jason smiled, then shouted: "Come on, everyone. We're burning daylight!"
En route: Xion followed behind the group that had come to accept her. She had really come to like Jason, she had. But the dark-haired replica couldn't help but remember about all the fun times she had with Axel and Roxas. And Axel's words echoed in her head: "Xion…I'm so disappointed in you. When the time is right, I hope 你 remember who your 老友记 really are." But when would the time be right? Suddenly, Xion collided with a bunch of Nobody thorns. When she got back up, she found herself facing Xemnas. "No. i, nice to see you." Xemnas said, "I need your help with an operation of mine."
Beast's 城堡 foyer: Xaldin stood waiting, impassive. Prince Adam's face grew into a fearsome snarl at the sight of the dark-haired Nobody, shadowing the Beast he once was. "I failed to turn 你 into a Nobody," Xaldin sneered, "But it's not too late." Prince Adam snarled again and tried to tear Xaldin limb from limb while Belle held him back. It was then that he noticed Jason and his group walking up behind Adam. Xion in particular seemed really down about something. "Oh, Sensei!" Jason exclaimed, "I have to defeat you? This won't be easy." Xaldin glared at his red-headed student. "I can't be the Sensei of such a stupid person," Xaldin spat vehemently, "When I agreed to train you, it was because 你 were ruled 由 anger and thirsting for vengeance against Larxene. But now you're in love with her. Any strength 你 may have once had is gone." Without another word, Xaldin ported out. In his place were three Dragoon Nobodies.
Larxene snorted. "Lovesick loon," she 评论 as she drew her knives, "I wonder what made him like that? So I can double his misery and watch him cry!" Jason paused in the middle of fighting one of the Dragoons with Itzal. "I wouldn't bother, Larx. Sensei's not the type to talk," the redhead countered, "Just leave him to me." The two males dodged the Dragoon's attack, and in a 秒 they mentally communicated. Itzal absorbed the Dragoon's Jump power and avoided a stab from the Nobody's lance. Jason distracted it briefly with a weak Thunder spell, and when it turned around Itzal Jumped up and crushed the Dragoon's skull with his Bo staff.
Xion faced off against her Dragoon. They had been in combat for a good while. The Nobody was on the offensive again, Jumping up and down like a piston. As Xion tried to defend herself, Prince Adam appeared out of nowhere and punched it with a vicious left hook. "Thanks!" Xion shouted. The dazed Dragoon tried to get back up as Xion prepared her final attack. "Zantetsukan." A slice, and it was gone. «I kinda wish I had time to do that against Jason.» she thought wistfully. Meanwhile, Larxene was finishing up her Dragging with a Teleport Rush. "As fun as this was, we need to get going!" Larxene exclaimed.
First floor: Vexen made some calculations on a pocket calculator. "Hmmmmm…" he mused, "No matter how much I try to calculate it, I can't predict which would win: Jason's 爱情 或者 Dilan's anger." Zexion diverted his attention from Serenna. "Hearts and Souls have always been something that have eluded our greatest attempts to understand it. The match here is between Jason's 心 and Dilan's soul, so all we can do is watch, Even." Vexen looked irritated, but grudgingly admitted the point.
城堡 bridge: Jason ran into his erstwhile Sensei on the bridge that preceded the World exit. A 墙 of razor-sharp wind kept everyone but Jason from stepping foot on the bridge. "I will not look for whatever it is that made 你 the way 你 are, Sensei." Jason stated, matching Xaldin's glare with one of his own. "But I will prove that 爱情 is stronger than anger." An onrush of wind swept over Xaldin, and when it cleared six lances were floating around him: Lindworm. The Whirlwind Lancer snorted. "Love stronger than anger? 爱情 never lasts, my errant student. And neither will you."
"If what 你 say is true, why are 你 so desperate for a heart?" Jason asked ask he avoided three of Xaldin's lances. The other three floated around the Nobody's body, but didn't do anything. Xaldin stabbed out three of his lances while using the other three to defend himself. "Because 爱情 is not what a 心 is all about. A 心 will allow me to truly exist in the realm of Light." he answered as he continued his offensive. Jason moved as quickly as he could while trying to attack back. But his knives were repeatedly deflected 由 a 披风, 斗篷 of Aero magic surrounding Xaldin. Suddenly, the Nobody flew up in the air. «Oh no…Jump.» Jason's thought was correct. Xaldin grouped his lances under him like a drill and came down with an almighty crash. Jason got back up to find himself covered in bruises. "Catch!" The redhead reacted to the sound of Larxene's voice and caught a Cura card cloaked in lighting. "Thanks Larx!" he shouted back as he healed himself. 更多 importantly, Larxene had 给 him an idea. Jason barely had time to avoid Xaldin as he came rushing back, a floating ball of wind and sharp Lindworm lances. Jason launched off a Thunder spell, which hit Xaldin's arm and stripped it of its Aero protection. The Cura spell card should have been shredded 由 the wind wall, but it wasn't because it was cloaked in lighting. The theory now proven, Jason cloaked both of him arms in lighting. The bridge was beset 由 the battle, and bursts of Lighting and Wind represented where Xaldin and Jason clashed. Jumping every so often, Xaldin was a blur of lances, leaving Jason covered in cuts, even as the Nobody received the same kind of damage from the redhead's knives.
"For me to be driven into a corner like this…" Xaldin busted out his invincible aura and fused his lances together, forming a dragon. "You have earned this." Jason gulped. He was fast approaching the level of damage Axel inflicted on him during the last battle. He couldn't take much more. Xaldin hopped on 最佳, 返回页首 of the Lindworm dragon and blasted the bridge with a beam of pure Wind power. Xion, Itzal, Adam, and Larxene shielded themselves from the flying debris, and when they looked upon the bridge they saw Jason…looking completely unscathed. Not only that, but he had transformed into Larx-Jason at some point. Xaldin inhaled sharply in suprise. Larx-Jason 说 nothing, just gestured in a manner that clearly sent a message: "Bring it!" Xaldin guided the Lindworm dragon to blast the Lighting blond, but Larx-Jason leapt into the air and landed on 最佳, 返回页首 of the dragon. "I believe this transformation came about from the Larxene card. Am I right?" Larx-Jason nodded. Xaldin undid the Lindworm dragon and used the lances to strike. For a long while, there was nothing but a blur in the sky as Xaldin and Larx-Jason lashed out at each other. Then, a moment of silence as the two faced each other in midair. Finally, Xaldin fell from the sky and collided with the hard, unforgiving concrete of the bridge.
First floor: Xaldin's monitor erupted into a storm of static then turned off. Every defeated member of Organization XIII(minus Marluxia, of course) was watching the monitors. The clock read 40hrs19mins. The only Nobodies not present were the Xemnas, Roxas, Xion, Larxene, Naminé, and Luxord.
秒 basement entrance hall: "This is the 秒 time I have been defeated 由 the power of love. Is it really so powerful?" "It's powerful, Sensei. But you're right, 爱情 doesn't last forever, because most Nobodies don't feel 爱情 and all humans die eventually. But that just makes every last 秒 precious." The conversation Jason had with Xaldin before the Nobody passed out kept running through the redhead's mind. «Whoever this Sora is, I wonder who he is? His name is a bad word among the Organization, Larx especially. I wonder why?» Jason looked back and called, "Just two 更多 basement floors! We've almost reached my family!" He turned back to the door to find it was already open. All of a sudden, his vision exploded into a million painful bubbles, which popped softly until all that was left was black.
Xion was left alone in the basement entrance hall. At some point, she had fallen to her knees, and it was clear 由 the way her shoulders were shaking that she was crying. She kept repeating the same phrases under her breath: "I'm sorry Jason. I'm sorry Itzal. I'm sorry Larxene. I'm sorry…"
Somewhere in space: "Estimated time of arrival to 城堡 Oblivion: 3 hours." Sora felt glad that half the time was now gone. But another three hours? That was a lot. "Do 你 really think the Organization is back?" Sora was to afraid to answer Kairi's question. Riku looked up from polishing his Way To Dawn Keyblade. "If they are, we kill them again," the silver-haired boy answered. "This time, we make sure they don't come back."
Twilight Town: Jason woke up to the sensation of pain all over his body. His eyes absorbed white, tons of white. "Oh, thank Light he's ok. Jason? Can 你 hear me, hun?" It was then that Jason became aware of his surroundings: he was in a hospital bed, in the Twilight Town general hospital. All around him was his family, looking extremely concerned. "Ohh, my head. What happened, guys?" Eileen shook her head sadly. "You were on the way to your first 日 of work when 你 got run over 由 the Tram. You're lucky to be alive, little brother." Jason looked at the calendar. It read, May 16th. «I have the weirdest feeling…like something special happened today, but I just can't remember.»
May 16th: the 日 that Larxene kidnapped Jason while he was on the way to work. But it turns out he was hit 由 a Tram? How did travel back in time to begin with? Why did Xion betray him? Meanwhile, Sora approaches, out for blood. Aren't 你 excited, Serenna?
Somewhere in space: "Estimated time of arrival to 城堡 Oblivion: 6 hours." Sora groaned. His childlike impatience wouldn't allow for a six 小时 wait time! The Organization could take over the worlds in six hours! "Calm down, Sora." Kairi soothed, placing a hand on Sora's shoulder. In the cockpit of the Gummi-ship, Sora was seated in the captain's seat. Kairi and Riku were seated in chairs on his left and right sides, respectively. Riku snorted derisively. "You have to stop babying him, Kairi." Kairi began to lecture Riku as Sora cracked a grin. He really appreciated Kairi coming to his defense, time and time again. If nurtured the feelings he had for her…

Somewhere in space: "Estimated time of arrival to 城堡 Oblivion: 3 hours." Sora felt glad that half the time was now gone. But another three hours? That was a lot.
