Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 34: A frozen bond

"What about the deal?" Sora asked with his calm manner slowly turning into one of caution. Subaru took note of this and quickly responded in hopes of not ending up fighting with his master.

"We might consider having to wake her up and before you get mad, hear me out."

Sora was silent for a moment, feeling a bit of anger in thinking about trusting the Organization yet he did wanted to give his apprentice and friend a chance to explain himself. He took a deep breath before saying, "...Okay."

"The problem we would have in the mansion is getting Rem out of there. The Organization could take a sleeping Rem much easier than one that is awake and with us."

"Subaru, we don't know what will happen if we wake her up before getting her name and memories back...it's too risky..."

Sora stood silent for a moment, wishing that he still was able to use the power of waking to wake Rem's sleeping heart yet he knows the risk that would come. Considering that he no longer has the power of waking with him, attempting to use it would lead to actual consequences. He turns to Subaru once he hears his apprentice say,

"I understand the risk but the moment they take away Rem and Petra, we will lose them for good maybe. We need to think this long term. If we have Rem awake, even without memories we will be there for her and try to help her remember her old self."

"..." Sora stood quiet while he listened to Subaru, noticing what he said and taking the moment to process it. He wants Rem awake but he fears that the risks of waking Rem up without her memories would lead her open to turn into a person she is not.

"There is just a lot of risks with this, such as the possibility of losing Rem for good. We also have to remember it is Organization XIII who wants to help us. All they do is cause trouble to others so I wouldn't doubt that they would do something to Rem."

"That is true, those bastards could do something to turn Rem against us just to hurt us..." Subaru thought to himself for a moment, recalling all the information he has from his deaths. He recalls something about guardians of light and princesses of light when he talked with one of the organization members. This caused him to turn towards Sora in order to ask him about the meaning of those concepts.

"Subaru, where did you hear this?"

"I heard it from the Organization assholes themselves, they mention Rem being a candidate."

"...so that's what he is planning...of course he is."

Sora now is aware of Xehanort's plan being to summon Kingdom Hearts again by gathering the princesses of hearts once again or finding him his guardians of light. The only problem he saw with Xehanort's plan is how he will get the seven princesses of heart.

He thinks deeply about this until he realizes that he has been gathering guardians of light. Subaru being one of his first guardians since he is a keyblade wielder like himself. The second one being the Sword Saint himself since he is extremely powerful and a pure light user. The third can be considered Emilia since she also has a pure heart and can fight.

"Master Sora, are you alright?"

Sora had been thinking deeply into the possible guardians yet when Subaru asked if he was alright, his mind shifted from his thoughts to Subaru.

"Y-Yeah, sorry about that. Thanks to you, I think I know what Xehanort is up to now."

"Really?"

"Yes, he wants to gather another seven lights to face his thirteen darknesses. We need to destroy all of them before he finds the seven lights."

"How do you propose we do this, master?"
