Xion's Demise

Story about Xion, one of the next three sagas. She isn't a Nobody(The remains of those who lost their hearts to Darkness) but an imperfect replica of Roxas...

   

Xion~

My name is Xion

But... mentioning my name is irrelevant

You'll probably forget it too

My fate has already been definite 

Who would've known it was true

At least I had friends I could depend on

I can appear in different forms

Depends on the connections you've had

My existence has no meaning

How long will the mental torture last

Please excuse my recognizable charm...

The reason I resemble Kairi so much

Is because of Sora's memories

In a way... I was spawned from him

While in Castle Oblivion, in his slumber, 

he was trying to gain what he lost 

He remembered her, with an emotion, strong-willing

Was I then created merely on a whim

But being birthed from this at what cost

Is this what they call, bad luck?

When I joined the Organization, an appreciable amount of Nobodies 

That's where I met Roxas, he was quiet and cute

As we battled together caring out our missions

He soon came to be devoid of the quietness and mute

And opened up more, as days passed since his admission

Axel, who was helping him along, like a teacher instructing

It wasn't long before we three became best friends

And I was known as the fourteenth member back then

We were eating sea-salt ice cream on top the clock tower

Under the sunset, we had marvelous times within the hour

Carelessly, throwing caution into the wind sitting at the edge

Those moments I cherish and prove to be the very best

Axel(left) Roxas(Middle) Xion(Right)

Axel knows how to make us laugh

I think he'll turn into a fine comedian one day

Always telling me and Roxas to "get it memorized"

Our agenda together were to battle the creatures of darkness away

And know how to have a good time

Me and Roxas hold the Keyblade 

And this has caught the Organization's attention

Nobodies aren't supposed to remember who they once were

Nor have feelings as though, we're robots built to an ascension

Having a keyblade, the rarity of it, is that it unlocks peoples hearts

It didn't never occur...

The reason why we were being preyed

Was because we had the gift of arts

In my conscious I didn't know why I had to be

My existence only continued to hurt Roxas

And it was only a matter of time before he'll cease to exist

I'm only an incomplete twin of Sora, whom we're both from

I've become so numb 

At the thought that we suffer memory relapse because 

Sora was attempting to getting his memories back 

In order continue his journey and turn away from his lack

Thing is.... Sora's Nobody is Roxas 

But that's his story 

I refuse to hurt him so I've made my descision

With me existing.... has halted Sora's memory restoration

If I returned to him then the people I encountered with

Wouldn't know I had existed and will forget about me

This is why I questioned why I came to be

So I left the Organization and that's when I met Riku

We fought afterwards, but he helped find my way for awhile

Answering my questions when he left, made it worthwhile

I could see he had problems in his life too

Later, When I was alone.... Axel appeared 

It was quite clear why he was here

He didn't want to hurt our friendship

And me end up on his death list

He was ordered to turn me in

Whomever wins

No hard feelings

I told him not to hold back

He didn't understand 

How me and Roxas couldn't live up to their plan

With anger and frustration, his target was locked on

Unleashed his powers which were two chakrams

Entitled the Eternal Flames

Could tell that they were tamed

And that was guaranteed a fact 

He won in the end and I was unconscious

But he was weary from the battle because I put up a fight

It took up all he had to do what was right

Yet he collapsed and I dropped with him

Though my eyes were immensely dim

I was in the arms of Organization's leader... Xemnas

He reprogrammed my body changing my purpose

I had no choice but to fight Roxas now

I'm nothing but a puppet....something somebody's created

The person who used Sora's leaked memories to mold my image 

Was a crazy Organization scientist superior, Vexen

I didn't want to be hated

I just needed this to be finished

I'm sorry Roxas

 

But I had to force you to fight and absorb me

If I absorbed you then I will become a full Sora

But I didn't want to

In doing so, it would hurt you

I will be satisfied 

When you defeat the monster inside

I'll be saving myself, and this'll thwart Xemnas plan

If I win I'll take you inside of me 

Then the real Sora, who's resting in slumber wouldn't be

This is my destiny I must live that's bland

Overrun with dreadfulness and gloom 

In the end, I'm ready to lie in wake for my doom

As I almost fall headfirst after the battle

You catch and hold me in your arms

Since I'm fading away I have a sense of what would happen

The people who I've had ties with won't remember me anymore

Don't be alarmed 

Even though I could feel my spirit taking absence

I touched the smoothness of your face

Still though... at the thought of losing you hurt my core

I know its hard but it's your time for you to take my place

I remember when you asked, "Who else will I have ice cream with?"

Smiling, my body vanished from sight

Never got the chance to give you an answer

On this subject, I'll shed some light

I'm telling you now... that we can become one with Sora

That way, we'll be together again and have ice cream all night

Trust me... this is better

"Even though everyone will forget me I'll always remember everyone. But who am I? What am I... here for?"

My heart filled with much emotions while I read it, I even cant stop read it till the end!

[Zahra]

Great, wonderfuly told take. Well penned

[Kyle Sky]

I'm not too familiar with the game, but you've presented good character and story detail. Although, this catches me more of a monologue then a story. Nonetheless, good piece

[William C Jones III]

Yeah I wanted to give the reader how the characters see from their perspective^^ and thanks :D

[Felecia]

Personally, I've never played the game, and I'm not too familiar with all of the characters from it, but I know some of them. Xion was new to me, I'd never heard of her up till this point and I will say this was a touching story, all to true in so many ways.
Very good, I enjoyed it :)

[William C Jones III]

I'm glad you did :D. Xion's story is the saddest

[Ravyne Hawke]

Wonderful details, William, as with all the characters you have brought to life for us so far. I think Xion's story is perhaps the saddest as she is a Nobody and could become less than a memory. Beautiful writing. Only suggestion.. this is so long and I think if you tightened up some of your stanzas, you could reduce it down some without losing the story.. is all of this necessary to describe Xion now, or could it be used later as part of a larger story? that's the question I would be asking. Wonderful job, dear!

[William C Jones III]

Thanks so much! In the next two stories to come, Xion will be mentioned a little more but not as much because this is how her story ended. You could only imagine what Roxas must've felt when he had to destroy his best friend.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Oh yes, I am sure it nearly destroyed him. Looking forward to more =)

[Dark Rider]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! *tears pour down cheeks.* YOU WERE RIGHT!!! Poor Xion. I started crying even as the music started to play. How can you write so much emotions into this?!?! It was absolutely beautiful! Amazing job!!! :)

[William C Jones III]

Thanks :) So are you beginning to understand the stories so far

[Dark Rider]

Yes! They're all so sad! :( I can't wait to read the others stories! :)

[William C Jones III]

Me neither. I know their stories are good but it takes me almost two hours just to finish one lol

[Dark Rider]

Well take as long as you need. The longer you take, the better I know it will be. :)

[William C Jones III]

:-)

[KeeD]

[William C Jones III]

[Shirohana]

[William C Jones III]

I'm glad you liked it XD

[Shirohana]

keep writing~
I can't wait to read your writing!
btw, I ever played KH. And yes, I really love the characters

[William C Jones III]

Its nice to know I have a fan. When you read their stories do you have the urge to play it

[Shirohana]

I really want to play it. But, I cant....

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Interesting fantasy piece. You have obviously put a great deal of thought into this and it is interesting if mainly to a teenage audience. There are many syntax errors that if corrected will greatly improve this piece. You write with feeling and in character and I feel you will develop this art and rise above The Organisation.

[William C Jones III]

Thanks :D
