Kingdom Hearts II: Home Sweet Sanctuary

Chapter 45: Goofy!

We made it to an area when Demyx appeared. He seemed a little surprised to run into us.

"Hey, you guys are looking lively." Demyx said.

"Scram!" Donald yelled.

"Didn't we catch you messing around in the Underworld? How'd a wimp like you get into Organization XIII?" He jumped a little, offended by what Sora said. "I bet you can't even fight." Sora taunted.

"Yeah, but we can!" Donald said. He waved his finger at us.

"You shouldn't judge anyone by appearance." We got into position to fight. That scared him. He turned around and muttered to himself. "I told them they were sending the wrong guy..." Demyx said.

"Who is this kook?" Sora asked.

"Remember, the Organization's made up of Nobodies." Goofy said.

"Right—no hearts!" Sora said. With the lower Nobodies, there was no question they didn't have hearts. Demyx turned back around.

"Oh, we do too have hearts! Don't be mad..." Demyx said.

"You can't trick us!" Donald said. He faced away from us for a quick second, turned back and pointed at me and Sora.

"Silence, traitors." Demyx said. Traitors? Streams of water floated upward, creating a bubble above him, which turned into his sitar. He summoned water clones like before, except this time we were actually fighting him. I was amazed by how strong Demyx was. Demyx would shoot bubbles of water from his sitar, cause powerful spouts to emerge from the ground and then have water bubbles rain down on us. Using Thunder and Blizzard seemed the obvious spells to use. As Demyx began shooting bubbles at us, I pointed Nightfall Key toward him.

"Thundara!" I shouted. The electric magic connected with the bubbles and traveled back to Demyx, shocking him.

"Not bad, Irix!" Again with that. I'm not her and she is not me! "Time to punish the traitors! Dance, water! Dance!" Demyx cried. A large wave of water began to form. I shot a quick look at Sora and he nodded.

"Maybe you forgot one thing." Sora said. We pointed our Keyblades as the wave was ready to crash down. "Water freezes." We both shot Blizzara at the wave, freezing it. The ice began to crack and large icicles fell on Demyx.

"NO WAY!" Demyx shouted. Once the ice and Demyx's sitar had vanished, he began fading away. "Roxas... Irix... I don't want to fade away." A walked over and knelt down next to him.

"Dem... you'll be okay. I know that it may not seem like it, but you'll be okay." I said. He smiled a little.

"I'll take your word for it. You never lied to me before." Demyx said. With that, he vanished. While I was sad, Sora was angry.

"Anyone from the Organization who'd like to be next?" Sora asked. I snapped my attention to Sora.

"Sora, shut up!" I said, covering his mouth.

"Don't antagonize them!" Donald exclaimed.

"Yeah, we gotta help our friends first." Goofy said. Sora realizes his outburst was unnecessary.

"Oh. Sorry." Sora held out his hand and help me up.

"Then let's go!" Donald said.

"Aha! There you are!" I jumped and lowered my head as I heard Mickey exclaimed. We looked to see Mickey who was angry. We walked to us and crossed his arms with a stern look in his eye. Like when a parent scolds their child for doing something bad. I scratched the back of my head and nervously laughed. We were nervous since Mickey was so angry with us. That's when his stern expression dropped. "You sure have lotsa friends to help." He wasn't angry. Whew. "So, I guess we better all pull together and finish this battle for good!" We all stood straight.
