Duality of the Heart.

Chapter 4

Xion stepped out of the hut and walked over to Yen Sid.
"Sir?" She asked. "Xion. We have another Keyblade wielder joining you," Yen Sid said. "She's on her way. I'd like you to be her sparing partner."
  Xion bowed her head. "Yes sir."

**********************
   Ava stood in front of Merlin as he waved his stick around. "And......Poof!"
     The stick smacked Ava's head and she vanished from the room and appeared in the training glade.
     Yen Sid walked over. "Ava. Welcome to the Keyblade Training Glade,"
     Ava nodded. "Thank you sir. This is great."
Yen Sid smiled. "Yes. This is your new sparing partner, Xion."
   Ava looked at Xion. The girl smiled and extended her hand. "Welcome to the family."

     Naminé gasped, dropping the bowl she was holding. "Naminé?" Axel asked, turning. "Naminé!" Running over, Axel caught Naminé as she fainted. "Dang it," Axel muttered. "What is going on today? This is almost as bad as Organization X III..."
   Naminé coughed. "I'm okay," she said, jumping out of Axel's arms. "Just had a slight memory jump."
      Axel raised an eye brow and frowned. "A what?" He laughed. "Memory jump? Like, someone's lost their previous memories and new ones are in their place?"
    Naminé nodded. "Actually, yes." She summoned Blooming Hope. "I need to find them. Memory jumps have a tendency to move in and affect more memories them intended."
      Without another word, Naminé left, Blooming Hope laying across her shoulders.
    Axel sighed and opened his Gummi Phone. A dark figure appeared on it. "Are they alive?"
    Axel nodded. "Yeah. No thanks to your crazy idea. Ven isn't ready for that kind of power." He said, angry.
    The figure frowned. "Well, I guess your friend can die faster then."
    A sudden scream filtered thought the phone and Axel turned away, eyes screwed tight. Then he snapped.  "Fine. Just make it stop."
   The scream faded away and Axel looked back down, the fire still burning in his eyes. "I'll expect the next report by the full moon," the figure said. "And Axel? Don't wait to use it."
   The phone went dark and Axel pulled out a syringe. The top was capped, stopping the yellow liquid inside from escaping. Axel pulled the top off and raised it over Roxas. "Pleases don't hate me," He whispered, before injecting it to the Nobody's arm. "Both you and Sora."
Axel continued, hiding the empty syringe in his pocket.

***********************

   Naminé paused on the grass. She could hear Keyblades clashing farther out but her senses were tuning into a different sound. Someone crying. Blooming Hope spun around and created a portal to the sound that Naminé walked though. Axel was leaning on a tree, tears falling down his face, eyes closed tight.
   Naminé didn't say anything. This was surprising. Axel was always saying how he didn't cry often but these were huge tears and they came faster then Naminé had ever seen. "Axel..." She started.
    Axel looked up. "I... It's nothing!" He said too quickly.
Naminé huffed. "Fine. But I need to know what's going on with you! Your keeping secrets Axel, and I'd like to help."
    Axel turned away. "Nothing is going on with me. I'm good."
    Naminé raised Blooming Hope. "I may not be able to get the answer out of you right now, but I'm prepared to fight you."
    Axel summoned his chakras. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. Naminé exhaled. "Yes."
    Without warning, Axel charged at Naminé, fire blazing on his chakras.
    Naminé dove to the side and fired a Blizzard at his feet. The ice froze Axel into place for a few seconds and that gave Naminé time to fire her own special magic, Memory.
     Axel froze as the spell hit him then fought its affects. "Stop....it....Naminé!" He cried her name out as the spell took affect.   

****************
     Luxu pounded his fist on the table, shaking Ava's mask and real Keyblade. "No! Axel, you dimwit. Next time, run!" He said, as Naminé watched all of Axel's memories of that day.
   "What to do.....what to do......" Luxu paced. "I can't stop Naminé but I can join Ava," He summoned his Keyblade and opened a portal. "Next stop, Travers Town."
