Heartless: A Male Reader x Kingdom Hearts Story

Chapter 30: N/n Vs Sora

*Third Person POV*

Leaving Tron and returning the Hollow Bastion, Sora and her companions were quick to start returning to their ship. As Donald and Goofy left the lab, Sora suddenly felt a pounding in her head.

"Wha...what the heck?" She said, looking around, "What's happening?"

She shook her head to try and ease the pain, only succeeding in increasing it. The pain quickly became unbearable, forcing her down to her knees as she grabbed her head.

"Please! Stop!"

The pain only got worse, blurring her vision and causing her muscles to shake and quiver with pain. It felt like her whole body was on fire, as she twisted and turned.

Suddenly, something caught her attention under the computer module. It was a leather-bound book, and as she looked at it her pain began to completely subside. It was then that she reached over and grabbed the book, lifting it with her as she stood back up.

"What is this?" She said, running her hand over the dusty leather, "A book?"

She turned the book over in her hands, revealing the cover to her eyes. After blowing off the dust that had completely caked the front cover. Her eyes went wide, as she read the name on the front.

"Y/n L/n?" She read, "Why...why does someone have this?"

She pulled open the cover, reading the first page. It appeared that several pages had been torn out, leaving the book's start part way in.

It read:

"Day 23

Keyblade Master Fira, the former student of Yen Sid, came to the castle today. She has been assisting me with my studies recently. She was running late for our usual meeting time, and when I pressed for information, she had quite the story to tell.

Only three days ago, she found a student of her own to train. This young boy, Y/n, apparently proved his ability to wield a keyblade when he helped defend her from a swarm of Unversed. He picked up her keyblade and managed to fight off enough to allow her time to heal and get back into the fight herself.

However, what came next was most interesting for me. He took her keyblade and surrounded himself in an aura of darkness, defeating all the Unversed in seconds. If this is true, than he might be able to control the light and dark within his heart.

Either way, I'm allowing myself to get far too speculative. If I ever do meet this boy, I hope he allows me the chance to study him.

Anyway, Fira continued her story. Over the three days she had trained the boy, he had lacked a keyblade of his own. She mentioned that his heart felt like his keyblade was missing or stolen, as if he had somehow lost it before even finding it.

Now that I think of it, he may be linked to X in some way...

No, I refuse to consider it. My experiments into the heart must be stopped and destroyed.

-Ansem."

"Sora!" Donald called, "What's the hold up!?"

"Oh... coming!"

Sora took the book with her, careful to store it away where it wouldn't be damaged. Whatever it contained was important to her and her friends, especially if Y/n had been trained by some keyblade master they didn't know.

But, why wouldn't Mickey or Yen Sid say something? They must've known before all this?

Sora's questions only doubled each time she thought about it. There was something happening that she didn't understand, and she was intent on finding out.

The trio left the castle, their next destination not the only question on their minds. They stepped out onto the courtyard and to continue their journey...

...Only for a ball of flame to drop in front of them and explode, sending them flying in different directions. A shadow loomed above them, as N/n dropped down from above, his black coat waving.

"Roxas," He said, his keyblade appearing next to him, "You've really kept me waiting."

"The Organization!" Donald yelled, "What're you doing here?!"

"I have nothing for you, duck," He said, "Aeroga."

A tornado appeared in front of him, blowing towards Donald. Donald was sucked into it and thrown away, as Goofy chased after.

"Good, now they're out of the way," N/n said, leaning on his keyblade, "Let's talk."

"Why are you doing this Y/n?" Sora asked, "Why won't you come back?"

N/n sighed, "So I take it the Heartless told you everything?"

"As much as he knew."

"The truth is, I am not truly a Nobody. And he is not really a Heartless," N/n confessed, "But even if the two of us came together, Y/n wouldn't be whole. A piece of his heart has been lost."

"What?" Sora asked, "What does that mean?!"

"I've said enough," He said, raising his keyblade, "If Roxas won't return, I have no reason to speak with you any further."

"I'm gonna save my friends!"
