Hey people! For all of you who have read this on khinsider, you know who you are. Anyways, this beginning italics part is a flashback in KH2. It's a spoiler so, read it at your own risk. Thanks!

"I think I liked it better when they were on my side," Axel stated, breathing deeply, exhausted from battling so many nobodies. "Feeling a little...regret?"Sora asked, standing beside him. Axel thought for a moment "Nah...I can handle these punks, watch this!" as he jumped into the air. Sora watched in amazement as Axel focused all his strength and energy into one huge Kame Kaze attack, flames surrounding him, then exploding everywhere.

Sora covered his eyes, and when he looked, every nobody was gone! "Whoa!" he exclaimed as he looked around and then spotted Axel lying on the ground, as black mist floated upward from him.

Sora kneeled beside him, "You're...fading away..." he stuttered sadly. "Well, that's what happens when you put you're whole being into an attack, know what I mean?" he sighed. "Not that nobodies actually HAVE beings...right?" Axel wondered "Anyway I digress, go find Kairi." Sora suddenly remembered, Kairi needs him."Oh, almost forgot...sorry for what I did to her." he apologized. "When we find her, you can tell her that yourself." Sora exclaimed. "Think I'll pass," he smiled "My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one," he laughed.

"Axel, what were you trying to do?" Sora asked. "I wanted to see Roxas" Axel said sadly. Sora felt bad, he knew just how it felt."He...was the only one I liked..." he sighed"He made me feel...like I had a heart..it's kind of funny," he muttered. Axel turned to him "You make me feel...the same..." he stopped

"Kairi's in the castle dungeon, now go!" he used the last drop of his strength and opened up a portal to the "World that Never Was". Sora watched as Axel faded into a black blur into the darkness. "Axel.." Sora murmured sadly.Thus our story begins...

Chapter 1: A nobody's Dive to the Heart

Axel felt himself floating in darkness..eternal darkness..but still had all of his memories from before...what's happening to me? He thought drifting through his thoughts..I hope Sora is okay. Suddenly he felt himself land on the ground and doves suddenly took flight What the heck? He looked down, he suddenly saw a stained glass picture of Organization 13 and gasped. "What is goin' on here?!"

Don't you recognize them? "Who's there?!" exclaimed Axel as he tried to summon his chakrams "Huh? Where are..oh yeah...crap" Would you like them back?

"Uh..YES!!" Axel shouted Well focus your energy into bringing them back... Axel thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and streched out his arms. Suddenly two bladed wheels spun into his hands. "Alright!" he smiled. "So, now what?!".

No answer." Hellloooooo?! strange voice?!" Then five dusks suddenly surrounded him."You again?!" he cried "You guys just don't know when to quit!" as he slashed through one of them, then lit his chakrams with flames and shot them at each of the dusks."Back off!" he shouted at them, them ran up the steps to the next platform
Good, your strength is returning

"You again," muttered Axel

To prove you strength, you must face one of your old foes...

"Bring it on!" shouted Axel.

Suddenly a portal emerged from the darkness and who was it? "Vexen?!" exclaimed Axel "You're..alive?!" The Chilly Academic gave him an icy glare "I'm sure you remember perfectly what you did to me Axel" he stated coldly. "Well, consider this revenge!" he shouted as a blue shield emerged onto Vexen's arm as snow started to form. "Oh shit" Axel groaned.

Vexen lunged at Axel and slashed him with his shield which sent Axel flying. As he was in the air he threw his chakrams at Vexen which he reflected off his shield. Determined, Axel shot a wave of flames at him at the same time which Vexen tried to reflect with an ice blow. The spells exploded, shooting Vexen back. This was his chance, Axel teleported behind Vexen and stabbed him with his chakrams.

Suddenly, Vexen faded, and a door appeared "So, that wasn't REALLY Vexen," concluded Axel "Just a test of my strength.."

Good you learn quickly

"What do you want with me?"

I am merely helping you return to the real world, though this time, with a heart

"A...heart?!"

Yes

"...You can...do that?" he stuttered.

Of course, everyone deserves a second chance, especially after what you did for the keyblade master...

Axel considered "What's the catch?"

Nothing, you are the one who will decide your destiny

"okay..so what do I do?"

Open the door...

Axel stared at the door, unsure of what to do, then pulled the handle and saw a blinding light. "Here I go.." he said as he walked into the door..
