Lelie

Lelie woke up on a soft surface. Her eyes opened slowly. Soreness racked her body.
Looking around, Lelie saw that she was laid on the bed in her old room. In the Organization's Castle. She groaned. She hadn't been inside the Organization Castle since-
The door opened, and a certain blue-haired Nobody walked in.
"You're awake," Saix said in his monotone voice.
"Surprise," Lelie groaned dryly. "Where's Axel?"
Saix's eyes narrowed. "It seems he's followed in your footsteps."
Lelie's ears perked up. "What?"
"Axel will stop at nothing to turn the Keyblade-Wielder into a Heartless. So much so, that he is no longer taking orders from us. He hid so he doesn't get turned into a Dusk. But we'll find him, don't worry about that. So stay here, in the castle."
Lelie stood up. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of leaving."
Saix rolled his eyes. "Look, I'm sorry, but I'm very serious right now. If you try to leave, Xemnas might-" A knock at the door cut him off. Saix swore, Lelie raised her eyebrows. The superior of the Organization himself walked into the room.
"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" Xemnas asked.
"No." Lelie and Saix said at the same time. Lelie glared at both of them.
"What do you all want?" she asked venomously.
"You know why," Xemnas said simply. Lelie smirked.
"I know, but tell me anyway," she snarled. "I want to hear you say it, Xehanort."
Xemnas flinched a little. "Saix, leave us."
"...Of course...sir..." Saix mumbled, and walked out of the room. Lelie crossed her arms and looked Xemnas in the eye. Xemnas glared back.
"I heard from some of the members that you gave little hints that told us that your memory had returned, I never expected you to snap about it though."
Lelie gave a dark chuckle. "Oh, really? Well, who would've thought that I would not be happy after what little of a life I had was abruptly taken away from me while I struggled to find a vessel that my heart would last even a day in! C'mon! I hate what you did to me and my few friends! Vanitas's heart was shattered, my master went missing, my friends and mentor's hearts were extracted from their bodies, leaving them to become Nobodies, and my own heart is slowly being devoured by the darkness! I--ugh!"
Lelie felt a stinging pain in her infected arm. As if on cue, darkness swirled about her arm and near her torso. Lelie growled and ordered the darkness to depart until it was gone and under control.
"It's getting harder for you to fight it," Xemnas observed. "Why don't you just let it run it's course? It would give you immense strength."
"How long would that strength last, until it consumes me?" Lelie snarled. "I heard from Riku that he once had troubles with the darkness, troubles very similar to mine. If he can escape it, why can't I?"
Xemnas smirked. "You forgot one thing; Riku didn't escape the darkness, and you won't either. You know this. Darkness is the heart's--your heart's-- true nature."
Lelie glared at him. "Says who?" Xemnas ignored her and walked toward the door.
"I'm willing to give you a chance to prove yourself loyal to the Organization," Xemnas informed her. "It will be a special mission in a few days."
"What do you want me to do?" Lelie asked cautiously.
Xemnas turned toward her and grinned. "The Keyblade-Wielder is of little to no value to us now that we have you back. I want you to get Roxas back by destroying the Keyblade-Wielder's heart."

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Violet

The group ran through the darkened town, destroying Heartless. They kept running until the fell upon a man they had met earlier, being attacked by Heartless.
"Get out of the motherfrickn' way!" Violet screamed, running past the man and pouncing on the Heartless.
Sora gave a small smile. "Don't mind her, she's like this a lot."
They all looked to Violet, who was currently 'DIE! DIE!' and shooting everything she saw. When all the Heartless were gone, she collapsed on the ground, exhausted.
The man gave a tight smile. "Good job! I've never faced foes such as that before."
"You really think she was that good?" Donald asked.
"Did you find your friend?" Goofy asked. When they had met the man last, he had been looking for someone.
"I was too late," he told them. "But I must rescue her! Would you help me?"
"You're friend might lead us to Rue!" Violet said happily, she bounced on the balls of her feet.
Sora nodded. "Of course! We didn't introduce ourselves earlier. I'm Sora. This is Donald and Goofy."
"And I'm Violet!" Violet said proudly.
The man smiled. "And I'm William Turner, but call me Will."
"Okay, Will. Let's go!" Sora urged.
"Right," Will agreed. "We've got to get to the docks!"
"What are we waiting for then? C'mon mother truckers!" Violet yelled, sprinting away.
The rest of the group struggled and ran after the teenager towards the docks.
