Static over takes your vision and is then replaced by white. The white begins to take shape to form a white room with a white desk.

Suddenly the screen turns black and as soon as it does it returns to normal. But then you notice one difference.

Sitting at the desk was a figure wearing an Organization Coat with his arms crossed.

*Hello there, if you're not familiar with me I'm Hakuorofan7. A new author, but a long time reader on the site. As for my get up* He's gesturing all over his coat. *I thought that it was appropriate to wear at the time. Anyway let us get down to business then shall we.*

*As you may have read the summary this is a story about Roxas. With him traveling back through time and getting a harem which the latter focus being put on the back burner, but still there. Considering all the shit Roxas had to go through in his 1 year of life he deserves it along with the chance to be his own person which he will. Still he will have to go through hell to get the later though.*

*Although one thing will remain constant in this story is that he will be the biggest thorn Xehanort's plans and will become much more dangerous to them then Sora ever was and you will see why later on.*

You suddenly hear the sound of a alarm ringing through your ears. The author pulls back one of his sleeves and sees a watch beeping. He silences it and then faces the screen.

*Welp, looks like it is time to get started. I will see you at the end and then I will explain more about the story. So until then just sit back, relax, maybe listen to some music, and enjoy. I'll see you later.*

The author proceeds to relax before he remembers something.

*I can't believe that I almost forgot the disclaimer. Anyway I don't own Kingdom Hearts. So let the story begin*

He relaxes and the screen proceeds to fade to black as the story begins.

Kingdom Hearts

From No One to Someone

Prologue: To the past.

Throughout all the worlds there are many stories of many different species large and small. Each have their own niche throughout the cosmos. They all have their own place to belong, except for one. This race is one who isn't supposed to exist, yet they do.

For they are the Nobodies, beings who are created from the lost body and soul of someone with a strong will who has lost their heart to darkness and become a Heartless. They are generally nothing more then an empty shell.

For they have no hearts of their own.

They have their memories from when they were whole, but they can't feel any emotion. So they have to rely on their memories to fake them.

They neither exist in the realms of light or darkness. So they exist in the little space in between, the twilight.

As they were created from nothingness, they are destined to fade back into it.

For that they truly aren't meant to exist, they don't understand what it means to have a heart.

So why do they even exist at all?

These were the thoughts of the Nobody known as Roxas as he was floating in what appears to be a white void.

He awoke in this void after his final encounter with his Somebody, Sora.

He had mixed feelings about meeting him again. He knew what he had to, but Roxas honestly wished he didn't have too. Yet he had resigned himself to his fate. Roxas thought he was ready for everything, but what Sora's answer was surprised him.

"No. Roxas you're you. We are not the same. I wanted to tell you that. That you deserve as much as I do to be your own person."

Roxas getting over his shock could only give Sora a small smile. Trust his Other to give him the chance that he never could have. But it was to late for him as he knew what he had to do. He gave Sora the only things he had left.

His memories.

Considering that as much as he cherished his memories of Twilight Town, Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They were all as fake as he was. He considered that if anything was real as he was. The only thing he considered real was his time with the Organization. He didn't really have many good memories besides his times with Axel, but he wasn't exactly friendless without him. Before their deaths he had formed a kind of companionship with Marluxia and surprisingly Larxene, though he still didn't know what happened to them. During his later stay with them he came to consider Luxord as a friend and he was saddened at having to see Sora kill him as one of the few memories he saw within his Somebody.

Truthfully, even though he willingly made the choice to merge back Sora, all he wished for was to exist. Anyone else would have also wished to do the same thing. To eat sea salt ice cream, laugh, and enjoy summer vacation with his friends.

Sadly Roxas realized that what he really wanted was too much for any Nobody to ask for. He understood that now and had come to accept it for what it was.

After he was done transferring memories with Sora, Roxas began to fade. He was waiting for this moment as he knew it was his ultimate fate. It was the ultimate fate of all Nobodies, to fade back into nothing.

After all Nobodies weren't even something to begin with anyway.

But Roxas somehow ended up into this void anyway after being absorbed back into Sora. Every since then he has called the void his home. Roxas truly didn't know what it was, but he got the feeling that this was the light within Sora's heart. He also didn't know how much time has passed while just floating here. It could be seconds or years for all he cared. He just knew that eventually everything that was his very being would disappear forever.

He let out a sad smile as he stared up at the void.

"You have no idea how lucky you have it Sora." He said to himself. He started to clench his fist for a moment before letting out a sigh and continuing.

"To actually exist. It is something a Nobody can only dream of. As much as wish for the opposite, it truly must be you."

For how much longer that he didn't know, Roxas just continued to float. And that was all he could do at this point.

'How am I even existing right now? Shouldn't I've been absorbed fully back into Sora by now? Isn't enough that I shouldn't have existed at all.'

Roxas just tried tried to make himself comfortable as you can while floating in a void full of light.

"Why can't I just fade from away in piece?" He just said to himself. When he found a position that he was comfortable with he just closed his eyes and tried to rest.

'Maybe I can finally disappear in my sleep. It honestly wouldn't be the worse way to go.'

Roxas then tried to fall asleep, awaiting his eventual fate.

"Hello?"

Roxas snapped his eyes open and began to look around the void. He floated around just to get a full view of his surroundings. Nothing but endless light all around.

"I must be hearing things." He muttered to himself. After all he was in Sora's heart, right? Then again he might just be in some kind of nothingness for all he knew. Still he was the only one here as it wasn't possible. He heard the voice giggle before answering.

"No you're not."

Now knowing that he wasn't alone, Roxas began to spin around. Looking for the source of the voice and prepared for anything.

"I'm down here."

Following the sound of the voice, the Nobody noticed 2 things that he had missed. The first was the void now apparently had a floor. The other was the speaker. The speaker appeared to be a female in a silver hood and it appeared to be lined with green tassels. From he can also see she was wearing a white robe and bluish-lavender clothing underneath her cloak that looked it the color was slowly fading away to silver. But what really struck him odd was her face.

It was mostly obscured by her hood and a silver fox mask with a blue trimming.

After that he lowered himself to the floor, surprised there was even solid ground here. When he touched the ground the woman began to study him, which put Roxas on edge. He began to study her as well he didn't like what he saw. The way that she held herself was that even if she was a bit relaxed right now, it was that of a master combatant.

"Interesting." The masked woman said as she began walk toward him. After a minute of what seemed to be a pure stalemate, she suddenly rushed towards him. Before he could even summon Oblivion, she was within an arms length away and proceeded to turn intangible.

'Wha-' That was all Roxas could think before the woman passed through him.

"AAUUUGH!" He could only cry out as his mind was assaulted by images and voices he had never seen or heard in all his little time of existence. There was so many that he couldn't even sort though them. The pain continued for a few seconds before the flood of images stopped. He tried to regain his composure, in case the woman tried to attack him from behind.

But he heard her groaning from behind. So he turned around and faced her. She was hunched over a bit and grasping her head with one hand. Apparently the process had also affected her as well. She immediately straightened up and faced him. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he could tell that they were filled with sorrow and surprisingly…hope?

"Roxas…you could had your own chance to truly exist." She said though ragged breaths, catching his attention. "But you gave it away to awaken your Somebody and fade back to nothing. Even if you have resigned yourself to your fate, your resolve to be your own person is still going strong."

This caught the Nobody off guard. How did she know his name, or anything else that she said? It must've been when she passed through him. But what did she mean by that last bit? He did wish more then anything to exist. But that is an impossible dream for a Nobody like himself.

He tried to think about just letting himself fade away, But his conversation with Sora kept coming back to him in his thoughts. So in grossed in them he completely ignored the presence of the woman.

"So Roxas, what would you do if I presented you a chance to be your own person separate from Sora." The woman said interrupting his thoughts.

"What did you say!" He asked shocked. There was no way that she could really give him that.

Could she?

Ava had been walking through that void for as long she could remember. She had given up on getting out a long time ago and had resolved that she could never see her friends again. She had also given up on any kind of hope of meeting anyone else here, at this Edge of Nonexistent . The place were all those who traveled to the Realm of Nothingness eventually come and fall into complete erasure. As she had been traveling the Realm she had learned everything about it, but how to escape still eluded her.

She was left all alone.

Until she sensed someone else had became trapped in this empty space. When she went to see them she had unknowingly passed straight through her visitor. He had nearly passed out from the strain and Ava had also learned to horrid truth.

She had been trapped in this void for centuries by this man, Ansem's timeframe.

From what little she could see though her efforts weren't in vain as Amsem had encountered and befriended a Keyblade Master not long ago, but she wondered what had happened to the rest of them. As what little Ansem heard from the master, Mickey was that Keyblade wielders were very rare in his era. But her main concern was something else she saw from the man.

The actions of his apprentices and most concretely Xehanort.

All six of them had were experimenting with the heart and the darkness within them. All of them had been turned to the darkness and had become Heartless and Nobodies. The Nobodies lead by Xehanort, who had stolen his master's name had banished him to this Realm after drowning the world of Radiant Garden in darkness and releasing the Heartless en mass onto the worlds that haven't been seen since her time.

The main trouble though was that while brief before he had turned into a Nobody, Xehanort was in possession of Luxu's Keyblade!

According to what she saw Xehanort was found without any memories right next to a Keyblade and some armor. Ansem was trying to use the experiments to help regain his memories before he shut them down.

Either way he must have retained some of them, or faked having amnesia. He had something planned and Ava didn't have a good feeling about it.

Still, from what she could sense Ansem had a strong darkness in his heart from what his apprentices had done to him. Not enough to control him or turn him into a Heartless, but enough to temporarily survive in the Realm of Nothingness.

When the man in question awoke, he was enraged. But after a while he had calmed down and both of them formed an acquaintanceship of sorts. Both had set out to try and find a way to escape from their imprisonment here. Both eventually learned how to create a corridor of their respective elements to get out, but the was a problem.

For her corridor, Ansem couldn't pass through because of his darkness. When she tried, she learned that she could go through, but she couldn't get out, but she saw what it was. It was her past! When Ava returned she told Ansem about this and came up with a theory.

She could create a corridor to the past and as per her…condition, she could theoretically pass through to the other side and be able to alter events to a certain degree as she was considered nothing. And sometimes nothing can become something with the passage of time. But due to several circumstances Ava couldn't cross to the other side alone. This had quashed her hopes, so they tried Ansem's method.

The Corridor of Darkness apparently worked for Ansem, not for her. Even then it was a one way trip out of the Realm of Nothingness into the Realm of Darkness.

Although he wouldn't admit it, but he was sad to leave her in this accursed place. He promised that he would find a way for him to get her out of the Realm of Nothingness. He had her after bidding her a final farewell.

So she had waited here for…well she didn't know how long, but the premises of getting out brought her hope after centuries of loneliness. She wasn't about to sit around waiting for him either. So she had trained herself and the ability to open her Corridor of Ages…what.

She thought it was a good name for them and she didn't have anyone to rebuke her so it stuck.

Anyway recently she had felt a massive breach and thought it was Ansem. But when she got there all that was left was a hoard of Dusks. It was a bit difficult with their shear numbers, but she managed to dispatch them. So she continued to wonder for who knows how much longer. While she was still filled with hope, she could tell that she was starting to fade from existence. The first sign was the color of her hood, but now it was her other colors and her strength as well. Ava didn't know how long she had, but hoped that Ansem would find a way out for her soon.

Then she felt someone breached into the realm and came onto the floating form of Roxas. As the Edge of Nonexistent was the most detached place here, the rules of the other realms including time were warped to a varying degree. But what shocked her the most was his appearance.

'Ventus!' Ava thought at that, but she immediately dismissed the notion. For one she could tell that the Ventus-lookalike was a Nobody. The other was that she could tell that he wasn't exactly the Keyblade wielder she had chosen to become a Union leader within the Dandelions. But before she can get any answers, the former Foreteller had to get his attention before he faded away.

When she did, she couldn't help but giggle at his reaction. It reminded her of Gula before the Master disappeared…she quickly shook of the memories before continued with the plan. After he touched down onto the surface, she began to study him.

He looked like he had mostly trained himself from his stance, but she also noticed that he was gauging her as well. She could tell, that even if he was a bit sloppy that he was skilled Keyblade wielder from the constant training of students within both her Union and the Dandelions.

So when she approached him she decided to sample a year of his memories. That should be enough to get a good grasp of the Nobody. When she sampled his memories she was completely distraught at what Roxas had been through.

He was only a year old, but had been through more then most people in their entire lifetimes. She saw everything that he had ever experienced before. His time with the Organization, how he left, his fight with the young man named Riku, and his imprisonment within the Virtual Twilight Town. She was on the verge of crying after seeing him merge back with his Other, Sora and how he confronted him after seeing his best friend Axel sacrifice in front of him. And his last moments being him giving Sora his memories, the last proof of his individuality.

'How can anyone be that selfless!' Ava honestly cared a lot for others, but Roxas although rightly selfish in some regards in wanting to be his own person took it to a whole new level. She quickly got herself in check after spilling a little of her thoughts to the Nobody in question.

The first was what Ansem did to him. She was quite angry at the man for using Roxas as a tool for his revenge. But was sad that he sacrificed himself to help stop Xehanort's Nobody, Xemnas plan for Kingdom Hearts and his regret of using the poor Nobody like that.

The second was the Organization XIII. She was honestly surprised to see so many humanoid Nobodies like Roxas. She could honestly say that if she had a chance to help them gain their hearts back, she would. The only Nobodies she had any troubles with would be Xemnas, Xigbar, and Saïx as for their actions and what they did to Roxas. That and the former two were manipulating the group for their own ends with Kingdom Hearts. She had a slight problem with Larxene, unable to comprehend how Roxas bonded with her, Vexen as he rubbed her the wrong way, and Demyx as he was too lazy. She wished she could've meet Axel and gotten to know the other members. But one thing had caught her off guard.

Marluxia.

She could tell that he was the Nobody of Lauriam. Ava had personally recruited and trained him into the Dandelions from her own Union. He was a polite boy, but she always thought there was something off about him. Still how did he survive after all this time? Either way he had formed a bond with Roxas and had died off early in his life.

The third was that he was missing a huge chunk of his memory. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it was something that was very important to him. The result of what happened must've cause him to forget it. So she hopped that it might be fixed and that it might clear up a few things.

Like how can he wield two Keyblades! No one even in her time could do it except for maybe the Master. It was simply unheard of. This alone made him tough to beat combining his pragmatism in combat.

The fourth was that not only that but she also had some other memories in that weren't entirely Roxas' saw some of Sora's memories and how he faced Xehanort's Heartless, who stole her friends identity as his own. She saw his friendships with others especially Riku and Kairi. But there was also the fact Sora was mainly self taught in the art of the Keyblade, yet the boy proved despite the limited teachings of his era that he was an excellent Keyblade wielder.

Although she was almost done she could tell Roxas was the one. He reminded her of her fellow apprentices especially Gula back when he was younger. While still mainly untrained, he was an excellent fighter on his own. Although she couldn't train him for a while, she hoped that there was someone who could help him catch up on it. Beside being short tempered he would do. Ava hoped that they'll eventually become friends as well as have sea-salt ice cream.

He loves it more then Ansem ever did. He wouldn't stop talking about it when he got a chance.

'What's this?' Aba noticed what seemed to be a a note within his memories. She opened when she noticed that it had Ansem's sigil on it.

If you are reading this then you are either my old friend or some other unfortunate soul in the Realm of Nothingness. If the latter then I suggest you leave that place immediately. If it is you Ava, then Roxas has drifted into the Realm prematurely. I hope you have saved him as you did with me. For he might be your only chance of ever escaping and settling what went wrong right. If not then hopefully the both of you can alter the events for a better outcome. But know this. You can never go back to your time, but you can stop something that might be worse then what happened with the Keyblade War. Inside is a memory that I couldn't find a place within Sora or know what to make of them. Just know it is over a decade from when I had this made so it might be a slightly bigger jump to get there. I hoped to get you out, but this is the only way. I have done things that in my revenge that had damaged the lives of those like Riku and Roxas. My mind is now clear on what I must do now to stop my wayward apprentice. Ava…my friend…please forgive this old fool for not giving you a proper apology, but sadly I can not. I must make amends for the chaos I had unknowingly unleashed onto the worlds. So all I can wish you is good luck to you and Roxas.

Goodbye Ava.

Ansem

'You old fool…' Luckily Roxas was thinking of other things as other wise he would have seen tears trail down Ava's mask. She had now lost everyone she knew and everything that she cared about, but she knew that with Roxas's help that she could make a difference.

The note in her hand vanished and she gained the memory of someone she thought would be dead.

Ventus like Lauriam was somehow still alive. She couldn't help but gawk at how the two of them survived this long. But she also noticed something from the memory. It gave off the exact feeling of one of Sora's memories. So she came to a single conclusion that Sora shared a deep connection with Ventus.

And though Roxas was Sora's Nobody, he also had a connection with Ventus that so similar that he could've been his Nobody.

For the first time in forever she now had hope to be out of this place and regained what she had lost. Along with help fulfill Roxas's dream. Still Ava had to convince him to accept .

After all he was probably her last hope.

"I meant what I said. I can give you what you have been waiting for. The chance for you to be separated from Sora." The masked woman said. Roxas not wanting to see if what she said was false, summoned Oathkeeper and pointed at her.

"If what you say is the truth then show me." He said. He wanted-no needed to see if she was telling the truth. This had to be a dream. The opportunity to his own person. He felt like he didn't deserve that, even if his Other wished that he could. Still if this woman was playing a trick on him, she will pay.

The woman seeing this flexed her hand and a ripple occurred before it seemed like space folded on itself to reveal a corridor. Unlike a Corridor of Darkness it was silver in color with a blue coloration. Steadily he approached it, Keyblade still trained on her, he approached the opening and tried to reach out to that.

"I wouldn't do that." Roxas sent her a questioning look. "If I'm not there when someone enters that, you could be erased or suffer a fate worse then that if you touch it right know." He could tell by her tone that she was expressing concern for his well being and was telling the truth.

"Okay, thank you…" " Ava, my name is Ava."

Now knowing that he backed up a little. If Ava is really telling the truth, then he could really be his own person. But he had a few questions for her before he could come to a decision.

"Why are you doing this?" He said. "If you could open a corridor, then why haven't you escaped from here yet."

"I could have escaped, but I've been in the Realm of Nothingness for far too long." She said. Seeing Roxas's confused look she explained. "If I crossed to the other side I would fade away to nothing. I would also need to have someone else as a vessel to even exist at all."

"So you're planning on turning me into a vessel for yourself!" He was about to summon Oblivion, when she put her hands up.

"Wait! I didn't mean it like that!" Roxas paused, but kept his guard up. Seeing that he had calmed down somewhat Ava continued. "I'd be with you in literally in spirit. Until I have gathered enough strength to regain a physical body I will be within you. Other then that you will be in full control Roxas."

He still kept his Keyblade up at her. Sure he would have to put up with her if he did want out and free. But it'll probably be worth it in the long run. He would have agreed with her, but their was one problem.

"Why are you doing this for me?" Roxas said catching her attention. "Even if you can make it happen. Is it even worth it. I'm a Nobody, someone who shouldn't even exist at all. So why help someone who is just nothing at-"

SLAP

Faster then he could comprehend, Ava dashed past his Keyblade and slapped some sense into him. As he began to rub his reddened face he heard the masked woman speak.

"Don't you say that again." Roxas noted that her tone was filled with an emotion that he wasn't familiar with. It sounded like she was angry, but mixed with a some sadness and a something else he was unfamiliar with. It botched unnerved and intrigued him.

"Wha-" "I said for you to never say those words again."

Ava took in a breath to compose herself before she spoke again.

"Look Roxas what you say is completely false. You deserve to be your own person, as much if not more then anybody else. I've seen that even if you don't know it yet, but you could have been entirely separate the moment you truly meet Sora for the first time. But you chose to back every single time you had a chance to separate from him. With this last time leading to your erasure Roxas." Each word that she spoke hung in the Nobody's head. He did agree with her saying that they could have been separate at their first meeting, but it wouldn't have done much. He would have been trapped in a digital jail for the rest of his existence and Sora would possibly be asleep for probably the rest of his life before the Organization found them. As Ava continued on, they both noticed Roxas was starting to flicker between see through and solid.

He was starting to fade away. What ever choice he made better come soon.

"I have seen what has happened over the course of your life. In the one year you have been alive Roxas, you've been through more hardships in that one year then most would do over a single life time. You have already shown yourself to already be your own person, Roxas. So please don't don't yourself. As for why I'm doing this for you is, because this might be your only chance to start a new life. I just wish to help you out with your wish." The flickering within Roxas's being was starting to grow more and more. What Ava just said had convinced him of one thing, that she had been telling the truth the entire time. He still had to know one thing before he can make an answer.

"What if I chose not to accept?" He had to know. How she would react would help solidify his choice.

Ava could only sigh at that, she should have figured that he should have said that. Still she would give him an honest answer.

"It is simple." She said. "If you refuse, then I'll respect your choice. If you accept then I'll respect your choice. Either way it is your choice." It was the truth plain and simple. If he refused then she would respect his decision to fade away and continue to search for a way out for the rest of her existence. After all, it was all she had been doing for so long.

Roxas was now at a crossroads. Either leave this void with Ava and gain a new life. Or stay here and continue to fade away. Each choice both were very impactful in their own rights.

In the first one he would be bound to Ava in a sense and face more unknowns then he already have in his life.

Or fade away to nothing and be forgotten by everyone.

Still he had nothing left anyway. His friends within the Organization were died. He saw Axel sacrifice himself before his/Sora's eyes. He also had been unable to talk to Naminé for weeks so had no clue on what her condition was. Finally he had given everything that was him to Sora. So basically he was nothing.

"No Roxas, your you."

Even now with this choice and basically becoming nothing Sora's words still rung out. At first he didn't know what to do as for this entire time they kept repeating on in his mind.

But now he had a basic idea.

He wasn't nothing as last he checked, that even after losing everything he was still Roxas.

"We are not the same."

He might be Sora's Nobody, but the two were completely different people at this may have shared a lot of similarities though, but both were completely different in other aspects. Both had different personalities, thoughts, lives, appearances, and ect. But the major difference was that Sora had a heart while he didn't.

"I wanted to tell you that. That you deserve as much as I do to be your own person."

Roxas could tell that Sora honestly meant it. For him to be stuck within his Other's heart seemed to horrify Sora. He wished for Roxas to be free and to be his own person.

So who was he to not respect Sora's wish. After all with the way he was starting to fade, their was literally nothing left for him to lose.

'No turning back now.'

"Ava, I have made my choice." Roxas said, getting her attention. "I accept." That was all he needed to say.

Ava proceeded to jump onto the Nobody and hug him to death. Roxas didn't really know what to do or how to react. So he proceeded to awkwardly hug her back. As if she could feel his awkwardness, Ava giggled a bit.

"Thank you."

After that both of them turned towards the corridor. As they continued walking Ava began to speak.

"Roxas there is one thing I want to ask you before we pass through." She said. Roxas pondered what it was before answering.

"Sure, what is it?" He asked.

"I wanted to ask that if I could be your friend." Roxas was shocked she was asking for something like that.

"Wh-why are you asking that?" She stopped walking and turned to face him. A smile gracing her face.

"After we cross through, we are going to be joined together until I can regain a body of my own. So I figured we could be friends since we will be spending a lot of time together." She said to him. Though her smile soon turned to a frown seeing that he was now fading even faster now.

Roxas thought about it and what she said made sense. If they were friends it would not only make things a bit less awkward, but it'll probably help things down the road. Plus all of his friends were gone and any friends Ava had were probably gone.

"Sure why not." Roxas said. A wide grin broke out on her face while tears sprouted from her mask. After all this time of nothing but loneliness she finally had a friend. She proceeded to grab Roxas's almost see through arm and drag him to the corridor.

"Alright then. So what are you waiting for Roxas, let's go!" Ava said excitingly as she tried to pull harder. He could only chuckle at her enthusiasm and proceeded to match her speed. Both of them speed to the corridor.

Ava was happy after so many years in this dreary place…well as close to being happy as she could get. After all she now had a new friend and was about to leave this place. Still she knew that things were going to turn sour soon, with her unsure about were they are headed. But she didn't care.

She just wanted to enjoy this moment for as long as she can.

Roxas didn't know how to react. He now had a new friend and was getting a new chance at life. But he knew it wasn't that easy. He clenched his free hand at the thought of this. He knew that as soon as they crossed over, there would be forces working against them. It has been that way ever since he was born and he knew it wasn't going to change soon.

Yet he knew that this time, unlike his last that he will overcome any trial before him. For he knew no matter the hardships, it'll be worth it in the end.

Ava had just entered the corridor and Roxas was starting to go through it. He turned his head back to the void and looked out into it. Although he didn't know if he could hear him, Roxas just had to get it off his chest.

"I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can Sora I'm doing what you wished. I'm starting a new life and I don't think I'll ever see you again. So I wanted to say thank you for everything and say goodbye. You truly are a good Other, Sora ."

After saying that, Roxas faced the entrance and passed through it.

The corridor vanished leaving nothing. For without them the void had truly become the Realm of Nothingness. For nothing existed there or that it was meant to exist. As it should have been.

After the corridor had also closed they were unaware of the ripples they had caused.

Or how things changed for the better.

After years of planning he finally had it.

The X-Blade.

Of course he had lost the rest of his himself, except his younger self and Terra's body as he had now completely taken over and was using as his current main body. But none of that matters now as he had finally achieved what he wanted as the X-Blade was in his hand! He had also dealt with every advisory except one.

That brat with the Keyblade, Sora.

Even then he was on his last knees. Xehanort had taken all of his friends away from him and has crushed everything that he ever cared about. Yet the boy, no the man in front of him was still standing strong.

There was a reason he chose Sora to be a vessel and he had shown it time and time again. He had come to respect him after all this time. But enough is enough.

"It is time to end this Sora. I will admit that you are an admirable youth, but the curtain is coming to a close. Soon the Second Keyblade War will begin and I will finally see what awaits after it. So farewell Sora." Said Xehanort as he raised the X-Blade to deliver the final blow. As the young Keyblade wielder brought up his Kingdom Key to block it, they both paused.

Both were stuck like this until everything around them and themselves began to fade. The younger version of Xehanort yelled in pain as he clutched his head, it was also still solid.

"What is happening?!" For the first time in a very long time Xehanort was confused. What was causing this to happen? Everything was fading from existence before his eyes at a snails pace. He tried to use the power of the X-Blade to stop it, but to no avail.

'Impossible! There is nothing stronger then the power of the X-Blade! Nothing except for Kingdom Hearts and-' Xehanort stopped his thoughts and promptly froze. He turned to his first and youngest incarnation. The one he imbued with powers over time. He was groveling in pain with his head between his hands. Other then that he was completely alright and not see through, unlike everything around him.

"…time itself." He finished his thoughts out loud. Both Sora and Young Xehanort looked at the him as said that.

"Someone has messed with the timeline." Dread was creeping up his and his younger selfs spine at that. After all this time he didn't account for some fool actually going back in time to ruin his plans But it also angered him more then anything else in his lifetime. After all these year and all those plans he was finally here. He was at the edge of his greatest achievement. Just simply eliminate Sora and he could enjoy the fruits of his labor and continue his future plans without any hindrances. But some fool had gone back in time and undone it all! Now the timeline was being erased and his plans were literally wasting away before his eyes!

"WHO THE HELL IS DESTROYING EVERYTHING I'VE SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE TO ACHIEVE?!" Xehanort shouted out with darkness flowing off him in waves. Young Xehanort was seriously unnerved by this. He had never seen himself so enraged that it frightened even him a little.

Still, who was the fool that was ruining everything!

Sora was exhausted beyond reason. For he had all his friends in front of his eyes.

First they couldn't find Roxas, Naminé, or Xion anywhere.

Leon and the others sacrificed themselves to stall for time from an absolutely massive invasion of Heartless that sent Radiant Garden to the Realm of Darkness.

Aqua was killed by Vanitas.

Ventus was killed by Master Xehanort, but not before killing him in turn.

Yen Sid went missing and was later found to be killed by Xemnas.

Terra lost control to Xehanort, who destroyed the Lingering Will, end him once and for all.

Lea managed to free Isä, but, both of them were killed by Xigbar shortly after.

Donald and Goofy sacrificed themselves to save the King.

Kairi was used to form the X-Blade along with the other princesses, who were all killed by Xigbar afterwords.

King Mickey was cut down by Xehanort.

Riku took out both Xehanort's Heartless and Xenmas, but he was to tired to continue and was gunned down by Xigbar.

Sora had just killed Xigbar and was facing Xehanort when all the exhaustion finally hit him. He had lost everything, but he still persisted. If he let up once then everything up to this would be for nothing. Everyone gave it their all till the end and so he would as well.

He brought up his Keybalde to block the final blow, when he noticed that everything was starting to fade.

He didn't know what was going on, but when Xehanort turned his back on him Sora had casted a quick Curaga on himself. He had recovered a little strength when he heard what Xehanort said that someone had messed up the timeline and now everything was fading away. Before he could figure out who did it, he heard a familiar voice in his head.

"I don't know if you can here me."

'Roxas' Sora never thought he would here his voice again. Finally there was some good news. Before he could ask any questions, he continued.

"But if you can Sora then I'm doing what you wished."

'What I wished? Wait does that mean he found a way to be his own person!' Sora couldn't be any happier for his Nobody. In fact it helped raised his spirits a bit. But he wondered where he was. After all everything was fading away. So he would be unable to truly be his own person.

Unless.

"I'm starting a new life and I don't think I'll ever see you again."

'So it was him!' Sora was shocked. Roxas found a way back into the past!

'So Roxas is changing the past. I know Merlin warned us about this. But I can't how this is any better.' Sora thought hollowly. He had lost everything and now Xehanort was close to victory. So anything was a better alternative.

"So I wanted to thank you for everything and say goodbye."

'Roxas…so you are going away.' He now relished that his timeline is being erased and that he will never be able to see Roxas again.

"You truly are a good Other, Sora."

'I see Roxas.' Roxas was had chosen his own life. And in doing so has changed everything for the better or for worse. Sora will never know as he would be erased along with Xehanort and the rest of the timeline.

But Sora had made up his mind.

'If I'm going away, then I'm taking Xehanort with me!'

With his resolve rekindled Sora proceeded to get up. Intent that if he was going to disappear, then he would do it swinging.

'It is a shame I couldn't be able to see Roxas again, but at least I hope I can give him one last message.'

"Roxas."

That one word had both of the Xehanorts paying attention. They noticed that his posture was filled with confidence and resolve that they haven't seen from for a long time. Yet it is what he said that caused both of them dread.

"What. Did. You. Say?" Xehanort said coldly. With pure malice dripping off each and every word. Yet Sora didn't even flinch.

"It was Roxas. He found a way to the past and is changing everything you did starting with Aqua, Terra, and Ven." Sora spoke. His resolve firm and ready to face his end either by Xehanort or just fading away.

"Kill him."

With those two words uttered by Xehanort, his younger incarnation vanished to do the dead. While Sora was worried for him, he knew that Roxas will overcome him.

As the timeline fading was enough proof for him.

"I thought I got rid of him." Xehanort said, his voice devoid of everything but pure hatred. "I made sure to cast him, the witch, and the puppet to nothingness so that they wouldn't interfere. Now I known I was mistaken. I should have let them out so I could kill them personally."

He raised the X-Blade and got into a stance.

"After I kill you Sora I will take over my young incarnation if he hasn't killed your pathetic Nobody already. I will undo all the damage already done by him, and everything will go exactly as how I planned it. So prepare to die just like your friends." Xehanort said ready to finish him off.

Sora just shook his head at that.

"Your are right that I am prepared to die. But not the way you envisioned it. For when I die, you will lose. Roxas will have won and none of this will have come to pass." Sora said. He proceeded to summon the last two gifts his friends gave him.

Way to the Dawn and Destiny's Embrace.

Riku's and Kairi's Keybaldes and part of their last will.

The other part was to defeat Xehanort for them.

"I might not to be able to see the future Roxas brings. But it will be a lot better then this hell. We will both fade away, so come at me Xehanort! It is time to finish this!" Sora said, launching himself at Xehanort.

He released a rage filled snarl in return and their blades met.

Their clash resulted in what seemed to be an eternal stalemate. Blade would block blade. Spells would cancel other spells out. Techniques only canceled each other out. Blows were meant with blocks. Any damage was healed up. The clash went on for hours or maybe even days, but it didn't matter to them. What mattered was killing the other one.

In the end Sora slipped up and caused an opening.

Xehanort returned the courtesy by ramming the X-Blade straight threw him. He never got a chance to celebrate his victory though.

Sora with the last of his strength faced him and smiled.

"You lost."

With that the Keyblade wielder dropped dead, with a smile on his face.

Xehanort never had a chance to ponder what he meant as he had vanished along with the world around him the next second.

They had been fighting for so long that neither of them noticed that the world was fading faster until it was too late. When Sora noticed he purposely let himself be killed as he had fulfilled what he promised Roxas.

He had bought enough time for the new timeline to set and to be rid of this accursed one.

Sora had also kept his promise to Xehanort.

For when he died, Xehanort had lost.

Once and for all.

"So Ava there is something I've been meaning to ask you?" Asked Roxas. They had been walking down this corridor for ages. The inside was a swirling mix of blue, silver, and black.

'I should have known he would ask. I'll be honest with him and take whatever consequences happen. He does deserve to know.' Ava thought with a sigh.

"What is it Roxas?" She knew what his next question would be.

"Where does this corridor lead to and are we almost there yet?" He asked. The Nobody was starting to get a little impatient and wanted to know were he was headed.

'Here we go.'

"I truly don't know where we are going Roxas, but I do know we are almost there." She said. Roxas seemed to relax a bit at that. Yet he was unprepared for what she said next.

"We are going to the past."

He was shocked

"Wh-What?!" He said.

Ava couldn't help but giggle a bit. He really was like Gula. Still he needed to hear this.

"You can be so dense sometimes Roxas. But I meant it, we are going into the past. But not the way Sora did to enter Timeless River." She said. Ava had witnessed that since Roxas did see it through Sora, so he had a basic idea of what is going on.

'She hasn't lied to me before. And I've seen it done before. So we really are traveling to the past.' He thought. After all it was the best way to start anew anyway. But then he remembered something.

"Wait. If we are traveling back through time, then aren't we changing it?" Roxas knew the risks, but he had to know what effect this was having on Sora and the others.

Ava just sighed at this and shook her head at that.

"Yes we are. For you see we are in a Corridor of Ages." She paused to see Roxas's reaction. She waited for any kind of reaction. After staring at him for a minute, Roxas got uncomfortable.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Seriously it was unsettling him a little.

"Oh I just wanted to see how you reacted to the name." Ansem had laughed at her when she came up with it.

"What for? It sounds like a reasonable name." After he said that he saw the unusual sight of Ava fist pumping and puffing her chest out in what he thought was pride?

'Take that Ansem!' She thought. At least someone else thought the name was reasonable. Ava calmed down before she could continue.

"Anyway, these corridors seem to only go to the past. But two criteria that seems to be there is that a version of you needs to be there at the end and you must not belong to the light or the darkness." Ava said simply.

'Okay I get it now. Since I'm going to the past through the Corridor of Ages, then it must be at a time in Sora's past.' He can deal with that if it was a year or two into the past before he was born, but there was one thing to ask.

"How far are we going back?" Roxas asked her. She could only sigh at that.

"At least 12 years." Ava said. She then noticed a shimmering at the end of the corridor. "Come on we are here."

Roxas meanwhile was floored.

'At least 12 years! Sora was a little kid by then!' It was farther than he could comprehend. If he went there, he could be changing much more then he could tell.

"Why?" His words caused Ava to stop in her tracks. "Why are we going back so far? It will change Sora's and everyone's else's lives if we go back too far so why. What is at this time that interests you that much! I can tell that is one of the main reasons for coming here!" He had to know why if it was probably going to change everything he knew and everything Sora cared about.

"It is because you are somehow connected to someone beside Sora, but the bond is just as strong between him and you." Ava said plainly, but she could see the turmoil going on through Roxas's head.

He was surprised by that information. That he was connected to someone else besides Sora but how.

"What do you mean by that? What is so special about him?" He had to ask.

"I don't really know how you too are connected, but he is someone I know that should be dead by now. As he has been around for nearly as long as I had and a few years younger then me when I saw it." Over the conversation he went from shocked then at the tidbit at her age, a blank look."What?"

"After the last time I heard that question I learned never to ask a woman that." Roxas said flatly. Ava could only nod in agreement.

"You are a very smart man Roxas." She said

It was early during his time with the Organization. He had walked in on Demyx for some reason decided to try to piss off Larxene. The idiot was quickly sending her into a rage. Even if he was really young, Roxas knew that the next question would bring horrific results. He tried to warn the fool, but he ignored it and said he didn't need it. So when he asked her age, shit happened.

Her face became a mask of serene rage and she proceeded to knock him out.

When he came to he saw that she was pinned against the floor by Xaldin, Vexen, and Axel. All three of them were covered in some pretty bad bruises.

He never learned the full extent of what happened, but they weren't the only ones injured.

Zexion was pretty banged up and had to be released a few hours later from the med bay.

She somehow got the better of Lexaeus and he was knocked out till the next day.

Säix got a small concussion from her, but it was nothing major.

Demyx, the idiotic fool was put into a temporary coma. He woke up 5 days later. Whatever happened traumatized him. He could be heard screaming in his sleep for 3 months afterwords from what happened.

No one wished to talk about it. Not even Xemnas and Xigbar. When he asked Larxene about it, she said it was probably better that he didn't know and that she knocked him out as he had some common sense on how to not tick her off.

He wisely stopped asking after that.

"Okay but why must we go back so far, it would be bad for everyone back from when we came from." Roxas said. Before Ava could speak a voice cut through.

"As much as I would like to know that as well, it is time for you to die Roxas." The voice sounded strangely familiar to Roxas. Before he could react Ava tackle into him. Right where he was standing a barrage of energy spears hit.

"Your friend seems to have a good survival instinct, but it won't save you now you foolish Nobody." The origin of the voice came to their vision. He worse an Organization coat with the hood up and that is all they could tell about him.

"Who are you?!" Roxas said as he summoned both of his Keyblades and got into his battle stance. Ava nodded and to the shock of them summoned a Keyblade!

It had many gradients of pastel tones with a long golden handle. The base was intricate gold and pink with a gold fox head with teal eyes in the center. The shaft was twist from pink, to gold, and finally blue with what appeared to be clouds that burst to form the teeth along with a pink sigil Roxas had never seen before. The guard was also golden clouds with the keychain was blue leading to the token which was yellow and pink with a blue eye with a slit pupil in the center. Ava moved the Keyblade into both hands. She noticed the look Roxas was giving her.

"What? I've always been able to wield this long before I was trapped in the Realm of Nothingness." Roxas understood that and would ask about that later. Right now they had to deal with the hooded fidgure.

"I see I will have my work cut out for me. Dealing with a foolish Nobody who has meddled too many times and a forgotten Keyblade wielder." Though they couldn't see it, they could tell that the man in front of them was scowling. He out stretched his hand and a blue blade of energy appeared.

"Xemnas!" Roxas was shocked at first, but he then noticed that the figure was shorter and that his energy blade was blue with a guard.

"Not quite. But know this you foolish Nobody. Your actions have doomed everyone back in the present." The man said. This caused Roxas to pause.

"What do you mean by that?!" The Nobody asked. What had happened to Sora and the others? The man just smirked at that from underneath the hood.

"Roxas, focus." Ava said. This man was quickly getting on her nerves and she was about to show him why it wasn't wise to anger a Foreteller!

"It is simple you foolish Nobody, they are about to experience what should be your true fate." The man said. Realizing what the man said, Roxas dropped to his knees

"No…" He had just realized what the man was implying. Underneath his hood the smirk grew wider.

"Yes, It is true. By being selfish and going against your destiny, you have pushed your sin onto everyone else and they are currently paying the price for as we speak!" The man said, causing Roxas to sink into further despair.

"No, Roxas don't-""Silence." Ava tried to speak, but with a snap of his fingers he created a dome of darkness around him and Roxas. For good measure on the outside he created 4 clones to guard the dome.

'That should buy me enough time.' He thought. The man began to approach Roxas and summoned another blade. He twirled them in his hands until they were a reverse grip.

"So you mean…"Roxas began to trail off.

"Yes, Sora and everybody he knows are disappearing as we speak and it is all your fault." Those words hit the nail right on the head.

'…I should have known' He thought sorrowfully as a Nobody can get. He had one wish, something impossible for any Nobody. He got it and no everyone back at the present was facing the fate he was supposed to face.

It was all his fault.

"That is why I'm here, you foolish Nobody. To help you." Said the man.

"Really.."Asked Roxas.

"Yes that is exactly it. I know how to bring everything back to normal." Said the man fastly approaching Roxas. He tried to get up, but the man cast a gravity spell on him, pinning him down.

"How might I help? Well it answers your previous question Roxas." He said as he turned invisible.

"Who am I? Well unlike you I know who I am."

Roxas felt something to his left and was promptly kick on his right side.

"I am the one who heard your prayers for repentance."

Roxas was now clubbed in the back of his head

"I am your answer to the sins who have committed."

The Nobody could only groan as he tried to get up, only to be kicked in the stomach.

"I am your salvation from the burden you have placed on yourself and everyone else."

The spell wore off, but before Roxas could get up.

"GAAHHH!"

He was assulted by energy spears being thrown at his back.

"But most importantly."

Though they didn't due as much damage as regular spears, they still hurt like hell.

Roxas managed to get up, but he noticed the blades were at a cross shape at the sides of his neck, ready to close like scissors.

"I am your death, Roxas."

The barrier was destroyed and Ava rushed at him. The man blocked her Keyblade, but was struck form behind. When he turned back he was surprised to see another Ava! He belt more blows and seen found himself surrounded by more copies of Ava.

While he was focused on them the main one looked over Roxas. He was in some pretty bad shape. So she cast a silent Curaga and Esuna on him. He was doing better as he tried to get up, but Ava pushed him down.

"You need to rest a bit more Roxas. So please allow me." In a flurry of petals, she created another clone to watch over Roxas and jumped into the fray.

'This is not good. I didn't expect the foolish Nobody to find a Keybalde Master in the Realm of Nothingness of all places!' The man thought. He was severely out classed right now. He was pretty battered up from all the clones and with the main one entering battle had turned the tides in her favor. She was a master swordsman and it was only his ability to stop time that had saved him from dying twice from the clones. Things weren't looking good for him. Not only was he injured, but he was also starting to fade.

He wouldn't completely fade, but the memories of the events he had played a part of in the decaying timeline .

He had no choice but to use it.

Roxas was busy with the knowledge that he was causing everything he had ever known to be erased, when he suddenly noticed that everything seemed to restart.

'What the?' At the end of it both him and Ava were back into their stances, but the man was looking exhausted.

"What just happened?" He asked.

"What do you mean Roxas?" Ava answered back.

"Last thing I remembered was that you healed me and went to face him with a group of clones and winning, but now we are back here?" Roxas said.

Ava pondered this for a second. She had never had healed him or shown him her clone technique. So unless…

Her eyes widened in realization behind her mask.

"Roxas, he can reverse time!" The Nobody widened his eyes at that. How were they supposed to face someone who can reverse time! But he noticed the man's state and that he was starting to fade.

'Looks like it is exhausting. But why is he fading? Unless he was from the present!' Roxas thought, now he knew why that man was hellbent on trying to kill him.

"Roxas can you here me."

'Sora?' He wondered. Why was he hearing his Other's voice in his head.

"I see you have figured it out." The man said getting their attention. "It doesn't matter now. It is time for me to get serious." He said

He proceeded to create four clones. All of them proceeded to light themselves on fire and rushed at them faster then either Roxas or Ava could tell. They kept coming in and both Keyblade wielders had could block their stricks each time.

"If you can, then Roxas I am honestly happy that you are creating your own life."

'I don't why are you saying that Sora. You're about to be erased. And now is not the time!' Roxas was so busy in his thoughts that he barley dodged a strike that nearly took his head off. He managed to get an opening and deliver a clean blow to a clone.

The man turned invisible while the clones continued to strike. After a minute they had to deal with the original hurling blue fireballs at them as well.

"Reflect!" Roxas had to cast the spell, to avoid a massive fireball aimed at him. It absorbed a majority of the damage, but some of it was still ended up hitting Roxas.

The clones were give the both of them no quarter. Whenever either of them got a chance to recover, either a clone or a fireball went their way. All they could do was block, dodge, or cast reflect. Either way the man was chipping away at their stamina rapidly.

"So I want you to know that ever choice you make I don't want you to fear changing the timeline."

'What?' Roxas was confused about that. Why would Sora ask something like that.

He didn't get a chance as Ava suddenly began to cloak herself in light. She rushed through all af the clones, destroying them.

"A Shot-" The man was cut off as Roxas used threw Oblivion at him. As soon as the Keyblade returned to the Nobody. The man summoned four more clones and all of them rushed Ava, stricking with their swords, fire magic, and wind magic. The original clawed blades with Roxas. Though appearing heavily exhausted and almost see through, he was matching him blow for blow. Both of them fought using their blades and magic. The man caught Roxas of guard by summoning orbs of energy. He barley dodged the energy spears when one of the man's energy blades elongated into a whip. It wrapped around his ankle an flung him into the air. The man aimed his other blade to bisect the Nobody.

'Now!'

When the man was at point blank range Roxas pointed both Keyblades at his chest.

"Fira!" Two large fireballs collided with him and sent the man flying. Ava used the opportunity to create a clone and in a split second launched her double at him. The clone hit him and sent him crashing down to the ground. The clone proceeded to impale the man, but he reversed time to counter and disperse the copy.

"Roxas there is nothing left in this timeline. They were all killed and I'm confronting the man responsible right now. I'm going to by you time so he won't come after you."

'What!' This shocked the Nobody so much that he was nearly taken out by a tornado. He barley dodged it.

"Thunder!" The bolt struck true and temporary paralyzed the man.

'There all dead…so I have nothing left to go back to anyway…'

"But Roxas listen, anything that you change in the past is better then this future. Any kind of future you chose will be one worth seeing. So I want you to promise me something.."

'Sora…I see…' Now Roxas understood what his Other was talking about.

Sora even while he was fading wanted Roxas to live the life he never had. As he saw that whatever choice he made, would be better in the long run.

Sora had chosen to stay and fade, but he wanted Roxas to live on.

"No!" He noticed the man was back on his feet, but had almost faded. He created two clone, but he and Ava parried their blades. The man was fading faster now and was close to collapsing. They and the effects of the time erasing were really taking a toll on him. Still Roxas was pretty battered and Ava was only a bit better then him right now.

They clashed blades again and it proceeded to be a stalemate.

"Roxas, I want you to promise me that no matter what. Do what you think is right. Do what you feel is right. Just be yourself okay. That is all I'm asking."

'Ok then, I promise Sora.' It was the least he could do. After all Sora was basically sacrificing everything he had left for a second chance at life.

So who was he to deny his Other's last request.

The man's clones had vanished from existence mid attack and was sent flying by Ava. Both of them ganged up on the man. He tried to get up, but time and exhaustion had taken his toll on him."

"It is a shame I wouldn't be able to see what your future Roxas, but I know it will be a lot brighter than this."

'I will make sure of it Sora.'

Both of them approached the man. He conjured up a blue fireball, but Ava blocked it.

He was out of energy and out of options, but to fade away.

"Well that is all I have to say."

"I just wish that we could have gotten along better."

"Who knows, maybe you could in this new timeline."

"Enjoy your new life Roxas, I'm rooting for ya!"

"Goodbye."

'Goodbye…Sora.' Unnoticed by him a tear slid down his face. Ava did see it and she silently put her head down. She had figured it out.

'I'm sorry Roxas.' She understood what she had helped him do. When she had looked back up, she saw his eyes.

They were filled with resolve.

He had come to accept his choice and the consequences that came from it.

He had gained a will to move forward.

To continue on with what they started.

'I knew it. He was the best possible choice.' Ava smiled and the both of them both looked over the man. If the effects the timeline being erased hadn't weakened him so much, she was sure that they wouldn't have won so easily against him. It was already a struggle to just to beat him and he came close to killing Roxas by himself.

"Why…" The man drawled on. He was collapsed on the ground, almost completely faded away. "Why you foolish Nobody. Why are you trying to change the past? How are you changing the past? Everything is already set. Everything is destined to happen. Time is unmovable. Nothing can change that. So Roxas, how are you even changing time itself?"

Even if he wouldn't remember it after he faded back into himself, the Young Xehanort had to know.

Roxas tried to think about it for a moment, but he couldn't of a reason except one.

"Truthfully I don't know." He said, getting both of their attention. "Maybe It is just be making my own choices, but I think I might know what the main reason is."

"I'm a Nobody, so I'm basically nothing. It is as you said, nothing can change time." Roxas said.

It was silent in the corridor till a muffled sound broke out. It eventually grew into chuckling and then into full blown laughter from the man. Both were confused until it died down into a chuckle. He leaned up with all his strength to face them. All they saw of his face was a pair of golden eyes filled with mirth.

"I guess you are right about that, Roxas." He let out one last chuckle, before he closed his eyes and vanished from existence.

The both of them were silent for a moment.

"Roxas…come on. We are almost there." Ava said, she dispelled her Keyblade and walked towards the exit.

He just looked back at the spot were the man was for a moment. Then he turned around and walked towards the exit.

Not looking back at all.

The exit was just a silver swirl at the end of the corridor, but it was their final destination in their journey to the past.

"Roxas this is it." Ava said facing the exit.

"I know Ava." He answered back. This would be the last time they would be able to physically talk to each other for a long time. Once they had crossed over, their was no turning back.

"Roxas once we crossover, just know that we won't be able to talk to each other for a while." She said seriously.

"Why is that?" He asked worried for his new friend.

"Simple I'll be resting inside you. I won't be able to communicate until I have rested a bit." Ava said simply. Roxas just nodded at that. It made sense. He would have to go it alone for a bit.

"Well I hope you enjoy your nap." Roxas joked to lift the mood. Ava just giggled at that.

"Why of course! It is very important for a lady to get her beauty sleep." She retorted. The both of them laughed at that, easing the somber mood earlier. The were like that for a moment before they settled down.

"Let us go, Roxas." She said.

"Alright" He said.

The both of them passed through the exit at the same time.

Both of them unsure of the future.

Both of them getting what many have wished for.

A second chance at life.

The Corridor of Ages closed after them.

Signifying the end of the old time line.

And the birth of a new one.

"Woah!"

Roxas had found himself falling in someone's room. He landed something lumpy, but otherwise he was alright.

He looked around for Ava, but she was nowhere around. He looked at his hand, knowing that somewhere that she was resting inside him.

'I'll see you soon Ava.' Roxas thought. She was the reason he was even back in the past. Why he even has a second chance to get the life he wished. But he also remembered the message Sora sent him. How he sacrificed what he had left, back in the old timeline. So that Roxas could do what he felt was right. That was what his Other put his last hopes in, as he hade vanished.

'Don't worry Sora, I will make a future you will be proud of.' For we finally could have a life of his own.

Roxas heard some groaning from his side.

"What hit me?" He heard a voice said. So he turned to face it.

Instead he found his own face.

'Did Ava accidentally transport me in front of a mirror?

The sound of a static hum fills your ears as before your eyes static fills it, before showing the author and the white room.

*Hello and welcome back. I hope you enjoyed the prologue.*

*Anyway let us get down to business.*

*Bet none of you expected Ava. Well as for now she is not in the harem. Well unless people want here in there. As since she spent centuries in the Realm of Nothingness she will be serving as an advisor from within Roxas until she recovers enough strength. As for how she got there, it will be explained at a later time. Just to note she won't be back till later in Birth by Sleep.*

*As for the previous timeline it is compute. Roxas just crossing over had erased it as he had altered events far into the past that it diverged just little enough for this so called bad ending for Kingdom Hearts 3 never comes to past. It is also why Young Xehanort was weakened. If the altercations hadn't occurred, he most likely would have had a difficult time killing Roxas, but he would have. Please that he faced and winded a Foreteller even in a weakened state is a testament of his strength.*

*Either way Roxas's new life will begin in the next chapter. As for when he landed. Well he landed the day before the meteor shower. So he has a day to familiarize himself with the residents of the Land of Departure before shit hits the fan.*

*Anyway, before we end this let's get the matter with the harem out of the way.*

The author claps and a small white board appears along with a marker. He grabs the both of them and starts to write.

*Alright the rules are simple. The maximum number is 8, but it might change due to either act of reader suggestion or author's whim. Main rules are that no female Disney villains or any of the Seven Princesses of Heart. Everyone one else is pretty much fair game, though it has to be a valid reason for most of them though.*

Gets done writing on the white board.

*Okay that is done. As for right now there is 3 spots taken. Two of them are Naminé and Xion, but the other one is a surprise. Unless of course I think a lot are going to guess correct. Still there is currently 5 spots open. So I'm happy to hear a suggestion.*

The author places the board down and picks up a remote.

*That is all for now. Remember to review if you have any suggestions or PM me. I won't answer if you are a guest, but I'll look over any suggestions you may have. Just remember that if you leave any flamers, they will be erased from history.*

*Goodbye and happy holidays! I'll see you next time!*

The author waves goodbye and pushes the power button. Your view turns to black.

Harem(WIP): Naminé, Xion, a surprise.
