Kingdom Hearts: From No One to Someone

To the past

"So Ava there is something I've been meaning to ask you?" Asked Roxas. They had been walking down this corridor for ages. The inside was a swirling mix of blue, silver, and black.

'I should have known he would ask. I'll be honest with him and take whatever consequences happen. He does deserve to know.' Ava thought with a sigh.

"What is it Roxas?" She knew what his next question would be.

"Where does this corridor lead to and are we almost there yet?" He asked. The Nobody was starting to get a little impatient and wanted to know were he was headed.

'Here we go.'

"I truly don't know where we are going Roxas, but I do know we are almost there." She said. Roxas seemed to relax a bit at that. Yet he was unprepared for what she said next.

"We are going to the past."

He was shocked

"Wh-What?!" He said.

Ava couldn't help but giggle a bit. He really was like Gula. Still he needed to hear this.

"You can be so dense sometimes Roxas. But I meant it, we are going into the past. But not the way Sora did to enter Timeless River." She said. Ava had witnessed that since Roxas did see it through Sora, so he had a basic idea of what is going on.

'She hasn't lied to me before. And I've seen it done before. So we really are traveling to the past.' He thought. After all it was the best way to start anew anyway. But then he remembered something.

"Wait. If we are traveling back through time, then aren't we changing it?" Roxas knew the risks, but he had to know what effect this was having on Sora and the others.

Ava just sighed at this and shook her head at that.

"Yes we are. For you see we are in a Corridor of Ages." She paused to see Roxas's reaction. She waited for any kind of reaction. After staring at him for a minute, Roxas got uncomfortable.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Seriously it was unsettling him a little.

"Oh I just wanted to see how you reacted to the name." Ansem had laughed at her when she came up with it.

"What for? It sounds like a reasonable name." After he said that he saw the unusual sight of Ava fist pumping and puffing her chest out in what he thought was pride?

'Take that Ansem!' She thought. At least someone else thought the name was reasonable. Ava calmed down before she could continue.

"Anyway, these corridors seem to only go to the past. But two criteria that seems to be there is that a version of you needs to be there at the end and you must not belong to the light or the darkness." Ava said simply.

'Okay I get it now. Since I'm going to the past through the Corridor of Ages, then it must be at a time in Sora's past.' He can deal with that if it was a year or two into the past before he was born, but there was one thing to ask.

"How far are we going back?" Roxas asked her. She could only sigh at that.

"At least 12 years." Ava said. She then noticed a shimmering at the end of the corridor. "Come on we are here."

Roxas meanwhile was floored.

'At least 12 years! Sora was a little kid by then!' It was farther than he could comprehend. If he went there, he could be changing much more then he could tell.

"Why?" His words caused Ava to stop in her tracks. "Why are we going back so far? It will change Sora's and everyone's else's lives if we go back too far so why. What is at this time that interests you that much! I can tell that is one of the main reasons for coming here!" He had to know why if it was probably going to change everything he knew and everything Sora cared about.
