Axel walked out of the portal in front of Memory Skyscraper. he glared at it and then turned round as the portal was still there. He was waiting for Roxas to come through as he had kind of forced him too. He stood silently but you could tell there was a sadness to him. It was if Roxas had died but he may as well have.

Roxas hardly knew what happened. He was running, then there was darkness. And as he wandered through it, he came to a dim light at the end. He quickly ran to it, and when he ran out he was surprised to see that he was in front of a large skyscraper in a dark and lonely looking city. When he looked at it, a flash of images ran through his head.
Axel...keyblades...nobody...Organization XIII...
"Wha...what?"
He turned his head again and saw Axel. He drew his keyblade, but stopped himself from attacking. Something was different.
"...Where are we?...I...I have the feeling I've been here before..."

"Why don't you put that keyblade away. Your not gonna to need it. I've realized that fighting isn't going to give back whats rightfully yours, heh listen to me, I sound like a sage or somethin."
Axel walked forward towards the Skyscraper. He looked up and shuddered. He had bad memories of this place but he had to show Roxas his true being. Then clicking his fingers only the skyscraper was visible and the whole other area was blanked out with a white haze. Then a figure In the center at the foot of the skyscraper was fighting many heartless. They ran through Axel and Roxas there and while the dual wielding unknown was ravaging the horde.
"You recognize him? You should know him better than anyone else?"

Roxas looked on in wonder. His keyblade dissapeared as he watched the mysterious hooded guy fighting off heartless. He had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. Something about that person...was too familiar.
Roxas turned to Axel and back to the figure. He watched carefully as the person took of their hood slowly. Roxas pained as he saw who it was...himself.
"Wha--What is this!?"
Roxas backed away a few steps.

"Hey, chill out a little. You'll do yourself an injury. Its just a flashback that I happened to extract and put on a data space. Don't you see, your with the Organization, they don't mean to much harm. They are only trying to get their hearts back and to be honest, I think they are crazy."
Axel turned round in front as he watched Roxas's face in horror. He shook his head and turned round again as another figure was seen at the top of Memory Skyscraper. They had silver hair and a blindfold on. The cloaked Roxas began some acrobatics and ended up running up the skyscraper towards this figure.
"Uh, Rox. You wanna know more about your true self. But I'll leave it a sec or two. This must be hard for you."

Roxas looked to the ground and sighed loudly. He couldn't deal with this, and he didn't believe it. Not at all.
"Just send me somewhere Axel. Anywhere."
He walked a little ways past Axel, not looking at the memories behind him. He wanted to figure it out on his own, later.
"I'll figure all this out on my own...then, we can talk."

"...What. You don't want to be you, well the other you. Roxas, come on man. Stop thinking about yourself for once, how about actually seeing what I want. You always did something without even asking me, and look, your doin it again."
Axel was a little angry at the moment. He had spent so long searching for Roxas and yet when he had, he didn't want to face his past. He made his anger swell inside of him through no fault of his own. he was just like that, as he did this black shadows were moving behind them and yellow eyes appeared at the pair. Then the blue aura disappeared and the cloaked Roxas and the other figure disappeared. There was small shadows and a few Neo Shadows were amongst them as well. Axel thinned his eye lids and then summoned his chakrams with a quick whirl of flame.
"Hey Rox, your not going yet are you. We have a few guests, come on for old times sake."

Roxas turned around at Axel's remark to see heartless forming. It wasn't uncommon, he guessed, and he knew for sure they weren't anything pleasant. He couldn't just turn on fighting these things, it was the right thing to do.
Roxas drew his keyblade and jumped next to Axel. He made an agreement sound and nodded. Something was instantly different though. He looked to his hands...it wasn't the same keyblade. In fact, there were two. A black one, and a white one. Oblivion and the Oathkeeper. He was confused, but didn't have time to think about it.

"Heh, just like old times. Well, seems you got your old weapons back."
Axel shuffled around a bit and was back to back with Roxas. The shadows had incredibly multiplied in a matter of seconds and the two were completely surrounded. Axel got a little worried and shook it off. Roxas was a better fighter than him and he his done this before on his own, what was there to worry about. He got into his usual battle stance
"You ready, these guys don't work together so we should be OK."

"No problem!" Roxas laughed a little bit as he said it. Without waiting for a signal he jumped into a crowd of heartless. The weapons flew freely in his hand, and he had no trouble using them...dispite how he couldn't remember ever wielding two anythings. He slashed left and right and spun around to take out another heartless with a vertical hack. They were numerous, but easily taken down. He had a feeling Axel would be okay, so he didn't turn to look back.
He reversed around a bigger looking heartless and stabbed it from behind, then turned around to cut three more. Surprisingly, he wasn't having any trouble with them. He still wasn't sure what they WERE exactly, but that didn't stop him from hacking away like a maniac.

Axel too smirked but before he could say anything else Roxas had dived into the crowd of Heartless. Then he found numerous Heartless jumping in the air to get to him. Axel raise his chakrams to fight and jumped into the air with them. Axel slashed to the right and took out a shadow, then swinging to the left he took out another shadow. Multiple times he endured attack and headed higher and higher into the air with the Heartless. Then a Neo Shadow approached him in the air and Axel crossed both chakrams and burst them out with force which cut right through the Heartless. Axel flew backwards form the impact and landed on one of the street walls and began to run along side it defying gravity itself.
"Come on, is that all ya got?"
Axel continued to run along the walls and when his chakrams returned to him, heartless too appeared on the wall. Axel ran through them and cleaved his way in and out dissipating the shadows. Then he got to the end of the wall and knew he had to jump. Doing so he landed near where he and Roxas started and both of his chakrams ignited. Heartless had leaped form all over the place to get to Axel. He released them and they spun round creating a huge towering Inferno that illuminated the night sky. All the Heartless that he killed seemed to be coming back again and he found himself once more surrounded.
"Tch, gimme a break"

Roxas continually hacked at heartless. He slashed left, right, up and down and every other direction. As he was fighting, three heartless jumped up behind him. He fended them off by spinning quickly, leaving him unsurrounded for a moment. Before he could blink, more were back again. He back flipped, while attacking those he could reach, and made his way to Axel. He was surrounded so he had to call out.
"Do these things ever end?!"
Roxas knew he could fight them off for a good while...but not forever. As he waited for a reply, he kept his guard up, and threw the oblivion. It circled furiously, killing a line of heartless then returned to Roxas's hand.

"Well, they are always here. I don't know why the boss doesn't just get rid of them. Apparently they have some sort of importance to when someone with a key gets here. I don't know the details but i bet if he can reach that Skyscraper, then we might have a chance of gettin rid of them. You told me yourself before your memory got washed out..."
Axel raised his head to see someone form the Order, as they had the same cloak as him on. He squinted to see if he could recognize them but they had a hood on making them harder too see. He jumped forward away from Roxas and double slashed defeating more Heartless.
"Come on Roxas, we gotta get him"
Axel ran towards the sky scraper slashing in all directions while he ws going. He was doing well until a few Neo Shadows appeared in a group in front of him. He smirked a little and jumped forward trying to smash his chakrams on one of the heads of the Neo Shadows. They sunk into the floor and dodged the attack and appeared under neath Axel and launched him into the air. he was helpless against the attack after putting his momentum into the strike. Into the air he went, higher and higher and the Neo Shadows jumped into the air too. Four of them grabbed his extremities leaving open and not able to move anything. Then a fifth Neo Shadow was front flipping multiple times in the air in front of Axel. Then it sprawled itself out and showed its razor sharp claws. Then it shot towards Axel going for his exposed Torso, if he wasn't saved then the blow would probably kill him leaving him disemboweled.

Roxas followed a little bit behind Axel. He slashed at heartless left in the nobody's wake, which weren't much. Roxas wasn't really sure what Axel was talking about, this memory skyscraper and all. But he figured he'd trust him...considered Roxas himself had once said it. As he was following, he saw Axel's attack fail and saw him launched into the air. Then he saw the Neo-heartless come at him. Roxas didn't have a reason to like Axel too much, but something in the pit of his stomach made him react.
I can't just let him die like that!
Roxas sprung forward and threw the Oathkeeper in Axel direction. The keyblade plowed through the attacking heartless. Roxas then threw the oblivion, while still running. It circled around and destroyed two of the heartless keeping Axel down.
That should be enough...
When the keyblades came back to his hands, he was tackled from the side. He rolled onto the ground, and had trouble catching his composure. He sliced the heartless around him and jumped to his feet. He was some way from Axel, but he was sure he could catch up...or he hoped at least.

Axel watched as Roxas threw his Keyblades at the Neo Shadows surrounding him. The two on his arms were dispatched and he bent down and slashed at the two on his leg freeing himself completely. He fell towards the floor and landed on the concrete floor silently and saw Roxas a while away from him.
"Damn, He'll have to handle himself for the moment."
Axel ran towards the Skyscraper once more and slashed and cleaved his way through the Shadows. He got to the Skyscrapper and jumped up onto the higher level and he had to parry a few attacks and killed a few more Shadows. Then he jumped up and kicked off the overhanging stone and kicked off the wall on the side of the Skyscrapper and finally landed on the side and began to run up it. he shouted back at Roxas again.
"Roxas, just hold out a little longer, I'll bring this guy down to base level."
