The first few rounds were a breeze to get through. A few hiccups here and there but other than that the fights were a cake walk. As Bobble cheers for yet another victory, you walk back to Phil and Hercules.

Phil: Well kid, i have to say, I might have underestimated you.

Hercules: You should take some pride in that. Phil doesn't praise very many people.

Y/n: So... does that mean you'll look at me like a hero now?

Phil: Uh, no. But... you know what, you remind me of another pipsqueak so I'll give ya a title like him! How does 'Junior Hero sound?

Y/n: What? Only junior?

Bobble: Well you're my hero!

She throws her arms around you and kisses your cheek. You blush, but smile at the display of affection.

Y/n: Thanks Bobble.

A woman's voice catches your attention.

?: Well, isn't that cute? Remind you of anything Wonderboy?

A curvaceous woman wearing a purple dress comes in and wraps an arm around Hercules.

Hercules: Oh guys, this is Megara.

Megara: You can just call me Meg like everyone else.

Hercules: Anyway, good job on the fight out there Y/n. Now, it will take some time for the last round, so just rest for a bit.

You salute the god and walk back outside to lie down.

Ansem: I saw the last round, you did good.

Y/n: Man, I'm just getting complimented by everyone today aren't I?

Ansem: Don't let it all get to your head. So, did you find out how your forms are activated?

Y/n: No... but I do remember something from when I activated my Fire Form.

Ansem: And that is...?

Y/n: I thought back to when Axel freed me. Because of him, I was able to meet Bobble, you and now I get to explore all these different places! And because if that, I want to find him and thank him properly, and repay the debt I own him.

Ansem: I see now. Your power is based off of memory. You said you had more friends than Axel, correct?

Y/n: Oh yeah, Roxas and someone else.

Ansem looked surprised when you mentioned Roxas, but was curious for the other half.

Ansem: You don't remember them?

You shook your head.

Y/n: I know there were three people, Roxas, Axel and a girl. I think her name was...

You tried to remember her name but failed.

Y/n: I just know it starts with an X!

You feel a hand being placed on your shoulder. You look up to see Ansem standing there with gentle eyes, and you swore that for a moment, a white haired boy stood in his place for some time before slowly going back to Ansem.

Ansem: There's no need to strain yourself. The final round should be starting soon, so do as Hercules said and relax.

He walks off, finally leaving just you and Bobble alone to spend some time together.

Y/n: Uggh... finally, it's just us! It feels like forever since we could just be alone.

Bobble: Yeah... hey Y/n?
