Requiem-Hello there readers! Thank you for choosing to read this story. I hope I don't disappoint. But, if you spot any sort of errors in here, please point them out. Thank you. :D

With that out of the way, let's get this awesome show onto the road!

"Sora, you have a choice. You can lose your memories of this castle and reclaim your old ones...or keep your memories here and give up the memories that you've lost," Namine told Sora, her voice quivering. Her face was turned away from the young teenager, so Namine stared at the white wall before her. These were the only walls that she had truly seen in her awfully short and unforgivable life. The young Nobody was on the verge of tears. Even if she was sure that no heart rested within her tiny chest, Namine felt tears trying to claw their way out of their prison. She forced them away, for the young girl had no right to cry. None of the Nobodies that ever existed had that simple right humans took for granted.

"Do I have to...to choose?" Sora looked down at the empty floor beneath his large feet with his crystal blue eyes. Three of his friends were there, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket. The insect was in his hood while the duck and dog stood beside him. He did not know what to do, for Sora wondered what was in his memories that he lost during his stay in the infamous Castle Oblivion. Who was that girl with the red hair? Why was she special to him, and what was the reason that she shared some of Namine's features? Why did they have the same face, the same smile?

"Yes," the blonde girl responded. She was wearing a small white dress, and it revealed her extremely pale and fragile arms and legs. Her hair was draped around one of her shoulders. On her feet, there were light blue sandals, both of them decorated with a single flower. Donald, worried about his human friend, looked over to Sora. Unlike Namine, Sora's outfit was bursting with all kinds of colors. He wore a red jumpsuit that went down to his knees, and there was a jacket, which had the hood the cricket was standing in, over it. A crown necklace laid upon his tan-palish neck. For his hair, it was brown and arranged in a multitude of spikes. His aforementioned feet were covered by black and yellow shoes. Then Donald turned his head around to Goofy, who was also anxious about Sora's well-being.

"Keep me how I am."

"What?" Namine asked as she turned abaft, shock in her innocent-looking face. "Don't you want to know all the people who are really important to you? Nobody wants to have a bunch of memories that aren't real, right?" She closed her eyes. "Nobody would chose that but you. I guess you really are a special person."

"You can give us our memories back," Donald suggested. "Then we can tell Sora everything we know, and Goofy will do the same."

"A-hyuck, that's right, Namine," followed Goofy. "Friends do everything to help each other." Namine's current state of sadness became more apparent. Her blonde eyebrows went more down. Sora walked up to her, and the Nobody tried to force a smile onto her face.

"Who cares about all the awful things that Larxene and Marluxia did to you?" Sora said. "Sometimes you gotta let the past go. Cuz, if you let the past take over you, it will only lead to darkness." Sora's eyes begun to wonder about. "I don't wanna have anybody else fall in."

Namine lead Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy into their respected pods. The room, like all the others in the castle, was only painted with the brilliant color of a unmistakable, bland white, making beings like Sora and his companions stand out more. She sighed, and the blonde directed her attention over to Sora again. "You're sure you want to do this?"

"Yep, Namine, I am." Sora smiled, so Namine told herself to let up a bit. Her shoulders fell down. Because of the sudden sound of footsteps behind them, both of the teens looked over their shoulders, which caused Namine's to rise again. There was a man with red belts covering his dark-skinned face. He was wearing an unusual outfit to say the least. One of his eyes could be seen, an orange one. The only thing that could be seen beyond that was the man's skin.

"DiZ..." Namine said, struggling to get her words out. "Sora choose not to sleep."

"You're truly a strange person, Sora." DiZ strolled over to the two teenagers. Namine's eyes began to lower, and then she grabbed onto Sora's arm. Her grip was enough to make the keyblade wielder yelp, albeit quietly.

"Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy...my friends, are gonna to remember stuff for me," the brunette explained. He looked directly at the mysterious man's eye. Afterwards, Namine's eyes widened, as if she just realized something.

"Wait, DiZ, I've to do something!" Namine told the middle-aged man while letting go of her only true friend. "If I don't, something horrible will happen! I'm so sorry!" She rushed out of the room as fast as she could, leaving Sora alone. There was an awkward silence between the two men.

"Okay..." Sora sighed. His mind was sorting through many different thoughts, all about the man he was forced to be with. "Who are you?"

"I'm DiZ, a servant to the worlds." He laughed a little bit. Sora just stared, utterly confused. "You're much more important to the worlds than me."

"Can you explain why?" the teenager questioned. "I dunno what's going on. Marluxia is defeated, so what else is there to do? Don't tell me there's even more." DiZ's eye examined the room they were in for some time. His mouth, which was also revealed, opened.

"Take down Organization XIII."

"Riku!" Namine yelled, panting. "I've something to tell you." The both of them were in the card world's version of Twilight Town, and Riku was in a forest on the way to a mysterious mansion. He was almost on the big house's property when he was interrupted by the pale, little girl.

"Who are you? Are you...Namine? Wait...you're the person who saved me from that light," Riku responded. He had short white hair that fell onto his bare shoulders. The boy had jeans which were layered by another pair of pants. Riku wore a yellow shirt covered by a black x. Black gloves, matching the color of the x, were placed onto both of his gruff hands. Namine, because of her exposure to his replica and Sora's memories, could easily tell that this was the real Riku.

"Yes...just come with me now. I have things to explain to you right now. I'm so sorry this is such short notice." The blonde grabbed Riku's hand, so, not knowing what else to do, Riku allowed her to pull him along. He was also curious about what this girl was all about and what she knew about everything. And how could she, a fragile teenager, out of all people, save him from Zexion's attack?

"Sora!" Riku exclaimed when he entered the pod room. He started to walk over to Sora, who was standing by one of the pods in the middle. DiZ left the place, but Sora stayed in the exact spot he was. "What are you doing here? I told you to take care of Kairi at the Door to Darkness!"

"Whose Kairi?" The white-haired boy stopped in his tracks. His aqua eyes widened, unable to believe what he just heard. "Riku...are you the real one?"

"Namine, what's going on here?"

"I was forced to rewrite Sora's memory because of my unique powers over memories of Sora and those he's connected with. Marluxia...he made me do it, threatened my freedom, my only hope. It's all my fault though that Sora forgot about Kairi, the person really important to him," Namine answered. "I'm a witch after all. Sora choose himself to have his memories of this castle instead of his real ones. His friends can remember some of it for him, but he won't ever remember how close he was to Kairi."

"Riku, give this back to that girl, Kairi." When Sora strolled over to him, Riku noticed he put a charm into his hands. It was made with shells, so Riku knew it was Kairi's. He saw her working on it back when the three of them were still stuck on Destiny Islands. A face was drawn on one of the shells. By the face, there was a key chain.

"I will," Riku responded, putting it into his front jean pocket. The white-haired adolescent felt a sudden pain in his chest. "What should I tell her?" He imagined the despair on Kairi's face, and the tears she would keep trying to hold back. If she knew that Sora made the decision to forget about her completely, the girl's heart would break. In his heart, though, Riku knew that she had to know the truth.

"Tell her that I can't go home," his friend answered. "Tell her that I've another journey to go on or something like that." Riku nodded his head, although he was not fully convinced about this action. He shifted his gaze onto Namine.

"Wait, Riku, you've a choice to make to." The blonde looked towards him.

"Why me, too? No one's messed with my memories," Riku inquired. He stared at the two pods in the room, at the sleeping dog and duck inside them. In the fold of the dog's hat, the was a little bug sleeping as well. Then he returned his focus onto Namine.

"It's not your memories. It's your darkness." Namine shook her head as those left her graceful mouth. Sora just watched his two friends talking, for he had no idea what to say if he intervened. "In your heart there is darkness, and in that darkness is Ansem. He may be at bay for now-but eventually he'll wake, and he will take over you just like he did before. But I have powers you can use." The girl stepped closer to Riku, and she placed one of her fragile hands over her chest. "With my powers, I can put a tight lock on your heart." After that, her other hand was over her chest as well. Riku placed his hand over his heart. "That way, Ansem could never come out from inside you."

"What happens to me if I let you do that? Will I forget everything like Sora?" Riku's aqua eyes moved onto the floor. "I'll have to."

"The darkness in you will be sealed tight just like your memory," explained Namine. Her hands lifted off her chest onto her sides. "You'll stop remembering the darkness. You'll go back to how you were. Riku, please choose."

"No, I need to chew Sora out. He's just too lazy to listen to a single request-"

"Hey!" Sora interrupted. A twinge of guilt entered the brunette's system.

"I don't need my heart locked. I'm ready-I'm going to fight Ansem," Riku added-on.

"But what if his darkness overtakes you?" Namine suddenly sounded more worried than before, so Sora walked up to her. She held onto his arm like a little child.

"Don't worry, if that happens, then the darkness will show me the way."

"Yes...that's true," voiced Namine, loosing her grip and then letting go of Sora. She smiled, and both of the boys felt a presence of a familiar warm in their hearts.

"Why do I get the feeling that you knew I would say that?" Riku crossed his arms.

"Cuz, Riku, we both hoped that it would happen," Sora answered. "We both wanted you to face your darkness, because its yours." Sora grinned. "If you can beat me during a race, you can show Ansem whose boss."

"So that's the reason-that's why Namine rescued me inside that light..." The white-haired teen's hands traveled to his hips. "...in the form of Kairi."

"When'd you know?" the blonde questioned. "You already told me this before, so when exactly did you realize?"

"I knew when I met you. You and Kairi smell the same." There was an awkward silence between the three of them. Riku blushed because of the sudden realization of how weird he sounded. Like who smelled people? "Goodbye." He then started to walk out of the small, white room. "Look after Sora."

"Wait, shouldn't it be the other way around? I'm the hero!"

"No, you'll be the damsel in distress this time," Riku retorted, laughing. Sora pouted while Namine let out her precious smile. He opened the door to the exit and closed it again.

"Sora, what should we do now?" she asked after Sora's friend left the two of them alone. They stayed silent for a bit, but then Sora's face lit up.

"We can protect the worlds together!"

"What? How can a witch like me protect the worlds?" Sora grabbed her arm, and he pulled the Nobody out of there. For some reason, she felt like the two of them were being watched, but she vanished that thought from her youthful mind. "Plus, somebody needs to take care of Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy. I need to rewrite all of their memories as well! And, Organization XIII...they're probably going to be hunting me down. Also, there's-"

"Ummm...What about leaving the castle to Riku...the other Riku? After we beat some heartless butt and save the worlds, we can return here, you know! I'll protect you from the bad guys, or teach you how to defend yourself!"

"Really?" Namine thought about everything, and then she nodded her head in agreement. She would finally be out of this Hell, able to not be lonely anymore. The white walls were her prison since her birth, but she finally had the chance to break free from her chains. Sora gave her this chance. He was the reason she could even think about fleeing her cage and flapping her wings.

"The first step is to get out of here? Namine...do you've any idea how to do that?"
