`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He opened his eyes, seeing himself in a tank. His body refused to move even though he willed it to. He saw his twin in another tank across from still sleeping. Cloud was next to him still sleeping as well.

Sora? He called out to his twin mentally.

He felt Sora react but couldn't exactly do anything. Roxas?

I'm here bro, don't worry none of us can exactly go anywhere right now.

He knew telling Sora that was a mistake. His brother's eyes opened in a panic, looking around them. Roxas…?

Relax Sora. We can't let them see your panic. They'll use it against you. He saw Cloud wake up, looking around them.

Ansem and Sephiroth walked towards them. "I see all of you have woken up," Ansem said. He looked at Roxas. "Good to know that shooting you on the side of your thick skull didn't do any permanent damage. Well at least mentally."

He remembered Ansem pulling out a gun on him. Sora's eyes narrowed in anger. He knew he'd have a scar there on the side of his head.

"We also noticed you have a nice burnt mark on your hip as well Roxas," Sephiroth told him.

He could feel Sora and Cloud looking at him. Roxas, what burnt mark? Cloud asked him.

If he could blush or move he would have. Axel, kinda maybe branded me…

WHAT!? Cloud shouted.

They heard the two professors laugh. "Well, I don't think Vexen is gonna be happy about this. Do you think he is Sephiroth?" Ansem asked.

Sephiroth shook his head. "I don't think he's gonna be happy about his favorite experiment being branded by someone else. You're such a man-whore Roxas."

He felt his heart beating fast in fear. Vexen. That was one man that Roxas was truly frightened of. He could always see the lustful thoughts in his mind as he grew older. That man was truly sick and sadistic. If anyone could make Roxas cry in pain, he had no doubt it would be him.

He saw Ansem push some buttons below his tank, releasing him. His body felt like lead, he couldn't move at all. He could feel Sora and Cloud's reaction, they couldn't get out though.

Ansem dragged him away from the room, he could see Sora banging his fists against the glass of his tank, trying to get out. Sephiroth just laughed. "No use in trying to break the glass Sora. Don't worry he'll know what punishment is like for once." He looked evilly at his twin. "And don't worry, you'll have one just as well."

Roxas was dragged to the other side of the lab, they knew he'd be weak after putting him in that damn tank. Ansem threw him in a room, locking the door. He looked around seeing nothing but a bed.

Oh no…

He saw someone else enter the room.

Vexen.

His heart stopped, he couldn't fight back now. Ansem and Sephiroth had made sure of that. Vexen walked towards him, looking at him. Roxas noticed he almost had the same color of eyes as Axel, but a little darker, almost forest green. Axel had an emerald green. He thought about him as Vexen dragged him to the table, hearing all the obscene thoughts going through the man's head. His stomach curled, threatening to make him throw up, he didn't want to hear or feel anything.

This man was just as sick as Lexaeus, that man had sick fantasies of him and Sora. Roxas had never seen or met such sick people in his life. Vexen threw him on bed, strapping him down; he knew what was going to happen. Vexen brought examination tools of every kind with him, pulling a light over the burnt mark on his hip. "What to tell me who branded you Roxas?"

He refused to answer, he saw Vexen pull out a thermometer. Great, this ought to be fun. He felt the thin tube go inside him. Yeah, still has that same feeling I remember! He just laid there and waited for the sadistic doctor to take his temperature and pull the intrusive thing out of him. His body still felt numb and unfeeling, he tried moving his arms but they strapped down to the bed. Vexen began the physical examination, groping him all over his body. He could hear the satisfaction when Vexen touched his groin, hearing all the perverted thoughts going through his dirty mind.

"Who left his mark on you Roxas?" Vexen asked him again.

Roxas refused to answer, he wouldn't reveal Axel to them. He wouldn't ever tell them about his only love and put him in danger's way. No matter what they did to him, he would never say anything. He closed his eyes, thinking about his inferno.

Axel…

He imagined the fiery red hair, emerald green eyes, triangle tattoos beneath his eyes, his long lean body…

He heard Sora out in the hallway, screaming at someone to let him go. His opened, taking the fantasy away. Sora was dragged into the same room as him, his wrists tied together, Ansem dragged him to the hook hanging from the ceiling.

"Sora!" His brother was dangling from the hook. He knew what was gonna happen next. Sora looked at him wide-eyed, also knowing what was to come. They both flinched when they heard the crack of the whip against the floor.

"Remember this Sora?" Ansem asked.

His brother shook uncontrollably, he could tell Sora was trying to be brave, but he saw the silver streaks form in his eyes. Sora!

It was too late, Sora was gone. His brother had gone to the sanctuary in his own mind. He couldn't blame Sora for escaping, but he didn't want to suffer alone.

The silver had completely covered his eyes; they were no longer the celestial blue. NO! Sora don't leave me! Take me with you! Don't leave me alone… He didn't want to be left alone, Sora was gone mentally. But he knew if Sora had come back here, he wouldn't let anyone touch his mind. He didn't want to be alone. Axel…

He flinched when the whip cut across his brother's back, Sora didn't even cry out or react to it. His eyes remained blank, like he wasn't even in his own body.

"Trying not to cry Sora? Come on. You know want to," Ansem taunted. He whipped at Sora's back again, making a long gash. Roxas watched as Ansem continued to attack his brother, he wanted to scream for him to stop but it wouldn't do any good.

He had been so occupied with thinking about Sora; he didn't see Vexen behind him. Two fingers shoved their way ruthlessly into his body. He cried out at the pain, trying to get away. "Get off me you bastard!"

Vexen merely smiled down at him. "Don't worry Roxas; it won't hurt as bad as Sora has it."

He kicked back at Vexen, hitting his knee. Vexen pulled back and Roxas crawled away from him. Ansem grabbed him by his hair and threw him into the wall.

Cloud can you hear me! He needed to be able to just connect with anyone, just anyone.

R-Roxas, I-I'm sorry…t-t-too m-much energy to s-speak…Just like that Cloud was gone. Sephiroth must've been having fun with him in the other room.

Vexen walked towards him, punching him in the stomach. "You brat! How dare you strike me!" he yelled at him.

Roxas spat his blood at him. "What are you gonna do about it? Fucking pussy!" That earned him a punch to the jaw. "Is that all you got you pansy!" Another in the stomach. Vexen kicked in the stomach, he heard one of his ribs break. His body was yelling at him, aching from all the blows.

Ansem stopped hitting Sora, watching as Vexen continued to pummel him into a pulp. Cloud and Sora weren't there to be with and he glad for that. He didn't want them to hear his suffering when they had their own suffering. He laid on the ground, coughing out his blood. Vexen smiled smugly at him. He knew he had at least three broken ribs and maybe a few badly bruised ones. His face had to be just as bad, cuts and bruises were all over him.

He grinned at Vexen. "Is that all you got? Geez Vexen, I thought you could've beaten someone better than this. I'm disappointed." Vexen punched him in the face again, and then slammed into his head into the wall. He couldn't move anymore, his body had shut down on him.

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

I'm so sorry Roxas…He had heard his brother's plea to not leave him alone, but it was too late. Sora didn't want to feel what they were gonna do to his body.

In his own mind he could escape to anywhere he wanted to go. He could be with Riku and not worry about the outside world. Nothing would ever touch him again…

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

Vexen was finally done beating him. He was dragged back to the bed, unable to move at all. His brother still hung from the ceiling, lost in his own mind and wasn't coming back anytime soon. Cloud was being tortured by Sephiroth, he could only imagine what was happening to him. Axel…

He felt two fingers enter him again, only this time he couldn't even cry out. The fingers stretched him more and more, entering a third finger in the process. He couldn't feel anything anymore. He didn't want to…

`~`~`Cloud's POV`~`~`

He could feel the pain Roxas was in. Even though his mental abilities weren't as developed as the twin's, he could feel the pain they were in. He had tried to contact Sora, but he couldn't find anything of him. Roxas had tried to contact him, but his energy was waning.

Sephiroth slashed him again with his long sword. He didn't cry out, just willing himself not to do anything. Sora must've gone back into his sanctuary in his mind, leaving him and Roxas behind in reality. He heard Roxas cry out once and then started yelling back at Vexen, now he heard nothing. How he wished they could be back safe in Destiny Island, Sora and Roxas were just kids, they deserved a normal life.

Tifa…His best friend, wife…she was dead because of him. Their unborn child was dead because of him…the child that could've lived and had a great life…dead because of him. Now the only two children he loved were gonna suffer because of him.

He remembered the first time he saw them. It was their eyes that had captured his heart. They had the same color but different sparkles in them. Roxas' had been a fiery tough sparkle, showing anyone who saw him that he would fight until his last breath and protect those he loved. Sora's a gentle kind sparkle, one that showed his shyness, but the hidden passion and fierceness that was there. When he had escaped, he couldn't leave them behind, something in him had told him to take them with him. At first he'd thought they would slow him down, but he was wrong. Roxas had fought, Sora couldn't, staying behind them and off to the side. But both of them had proven themselves once they escaped.

He remembered Roxas having nightmares, Sora mixing up the past and present. Taking care of kids had taught him some life lessons, especially twins. But he loved them no matter what. They were his sons, and no one would tell him otherwise.

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He felt the fingers leave his body then felt Vexen punch him again. His body was throbbing from the pain then saw him pull out a whip and started whipping him on the back. He didn't know how long he would be able to stay conscious, and he hated that he couldn't fight back. His only thought was that he never told Axel he loved him.

I'm so sorry Axel…

`~`~`Axel's POV`~`~`

I'm so sorry Axel…

He heard a voice say that. Nothing was here, he looked around his room, but there was nothing. He could've sworn he heard Roxas say that. Almost like he was here with him, but he wasn't. Roxas had left last night, to lord knows where. He laid back down, resting, trying to get rid of Roxas' voice in his head.

Axel!

He heard Roxas' voice calling out to him, pleading with him. Go away you stupid voice! Stop toying with me!

He closed his eyes trying to anything to get rid of the illusion.

He saw Roxas on the floor, bruises and cuts marring his skin, Sora's wrists were tied together and he was hanging from the ceiling, fresh cuts were bleeding down his back. But that wasn't what shocked him. His stomach felt sick at the thought.

No…This wasn't an illusion, this was real! Roxas was really being tortured!

He stormed out of his room and ran downstairs, grabbing his keys.

"Axel!" Riku shouted, running to him. "What's wrong!"

He didn't answer, he opened the door to his car and drove off. The connection with Roxas was beginning to fade away, he had to find him before it did. He saw Riku's silver Mustang coming up behind him fast along with Leon's steel gray Corvette.

Axel, what's going on? Why are you leaving? Leon asked him.

Roxas…

I know you miss him as much as I miss Sora, but they left, they asked us not to follow them. Riku told him, he knew his brother missed Sora a lot. He hadn't stopped crying since they left.

He showed them what he saw in his vision, he felt Riku's sorrow turn into anger. Yeah, I'm not gonna stand by and know Roxas is being tortured and I know you don't wanna sit there and know Sora is being beaten. Leon, I don't know where Cloud is, but from what the twins are suffering right now, he probably isn't in any better shape than they are.

He felt something else behind them.

Zexion's black BMW came up behind Leon. You guys left me while you were gonna have some fun? That's really mean. Axel could hear the smirk in his voice.

Nice of you to join us Zexy! I'm sure Demyx will be disappointed when he learns we called you that first before him. Axel told him.

I call him Sexy Zexy! Demyx chimed in cheerfully, shocking the hell out of him, Riku, and Leon.

You brought Demyx along, Zexion! Leon yelled.

Zexion and Demyx laughed. Yeah, so? He didn't want me to leave him.

But isn't he…? Riku asked.

He's a water nymph demon. Zexion replied.

Aren't nymphs females? Axel asked. I didn't know Demyx was a girl...?

NO YOU FUCKING DUMBASS! Zexion yelled. His mother was a water nymph demon! In Greek mythology they call a male nymph a satyr, but he isn't half goat for you information! And that's what satyrs are!

I hope I'm not…Demyx said.

Shut up Bubbles! Zexion snapped.

Don't yell at me you emo! Demyx complained.

You complain too much! Why do I put up with you again? Zexion yelled.

Because I'm utterly adorable? Demyx offered.

Whatever. Zexion said.

Aww , you think I'm adorable! Demyx told them.

Leon sighed. Demyx, Zexion, please stop arguing

I'm actually finding this hilarious Leon. Riku said, laughing.

Sorry Mr. Leonhart! But it's honestly NOT my fault! Demyx apologized to Leon.

Axel had to admit, Demyx and Zexion were pretty entertaining.

Anyways I know a quicker way to get to the Strife family. Axel, try to keep your connection with Roxas. It's the only way I can guarantee I can get the shadows to locate them. Zexion ordered him, moving his car in front of Axel's to lead the way.

He could feel the connection with Roxas fading even faster now. Roxas must've been in great pain, he could feel it fading more and more each minute. Zexion, I'm losing him. He's in too much pain or something for it to hold.

Try to hold on Axel. Zexion told him. Shit! It's starting to rain, I don't know if I can find them. Clouds are blocking any light and shadows don't exist much without it.

They drove farther; it began raining harder and harder. The connection finally faded away.

Hey, what's that over there Zexy? Demyx asked.

Axel looked off to the side of the road, seeing something far off in the woods. He stopped his car on the side, getting out. Riku got out, Leon stopped behind him, getting out. Zexion and Demyx walked with them to the object.

"It's their car…," Leon said.

Axel could see the signs of a struggle around it. The car was completely upside down, totaled, he wondered what was on Roxas' mind when this happened. He saw Riku pick something up from the inside of the car. "What is that Riku?"

Riku showed him a plushy stuffed angel with black wings, silver hair, and a halo, almost exactly Riku. He saw the tears in Riku's eyes even in the rain. "I gave this to Sora, I didn't think he'd take it with him. But he did…" Tears rolled down his face.

Axel looked around, there was nothing more for them to go on. The connection with Roxas had completely faded away. "I can't feel Roxas anymore…"

"Try Axel, I can't reach Sora, I've tried once, but…," Riku choked.

Axel had a feeling Sora wasn't in his mind. He closed his eyes, focusing on just Roxas. Remembering what it felt to be connected to him, mind, body, and soul. Roxas, can you hear me?

He could the shock in his mind. Axel…?

It's me Roxy. Tell me where you are, I'm coming to get you away from the sick son of a bitch.

Roxas tried to disconnect their minds, but Axel refused to let him. Axel, I don't want you to see…

I know what he's doing to you, just tell me! I can't stand by!

…I don't exactly remember; keep your mind connected with mine. You'll find it. Roxas told him.

Okay, what happened to Sora? Riku is freaking out that he can't reach him. He asked.

He's escaped into his own mind. The silver streaks show he's living the past, but when his eyes are completely silver, he's living in his own fantasy world. I can't help him, tell Riku not to give up and tell Leon to do the same for Cloud. I can hear him screaming in pain right now…He could hear the sadness in Roxas' voice.

Axel and his family ran to their cars and drove in the direction Roxas was at. Don't worry Roxas, we're on our way.

How were you able to reach me? He asked.

Me and you are connected Roxas. You reached out to me and I feel everything you're feeling right now. Don't worry that man won't live for long…He would make sure of that.

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He tried over and over to reach Sora, but nothing. Sora's mind barrier was a lot stronger than he remembered. His back was beginning to burn for some reason, his wings weren't coming out, but something hurt really badly. He reached touched his back, feeling it burn when he did. His fingertips had blood on them when he looked at it. He knew he had somehow managed to connect with Sora, but only his wounds. His back was burning with each new wound forming, he took off his shirt, feeling it start to stick to him.

Leon, I don't know if I can drive anymore. My back is burning up badly and my body is starting to feel numb…

Disconnect from him! You're sharing his wounds with him; you can't afford to be weak when we get there. Leon told him.

We're here…Axel informed them.

Riku fell out of his car when he parked. His body felt weak and sore. Zexion and Demyx helped him up. "Are you okay?" Zexion asked him.

He nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Where the hell are we?"

The building looked normal, but he could feel something dark coming from it. He knew Axel was still connected to Roxas, so at least they had something to go by.

Leon pushed the door open, walking in first. Zexion and Demyx walked in second, holding each other's hands. Riku and Axel walked in last, covering their backs.

"What the hell is this place?" Demyx asked.

Axel suddenly took off running ahead. "Axel!" Leon shouted out to him.

He could feel Sora's energy coming from the same direction Axel was running in. Sora…

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

His body was sore, crying out in pain.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO MY BOYFRIEND!" a voice yelled.

Roxas stiffened, it was Axel's voice. He didn't want him of all people to see like this, Vexen stopped whipping him. Ansem ran away from the room, Axel took out his chakrams, throwing one at Vexen. He missed him barely. Vexen took out his shield, and managed to tackle down Axel and escape.

"That sick fuck!" Axel shouted. Roxas saw him run towards him. "Oh no, Roxas…?"

He saw Axel reach out to touch him, he couldn't help but flinch away from him. "I didn't want you to see this…," he whispered.

Axel lifted him up, sitting him on his lap. "I don't care Roxas. You're still mine." He felt Axel touching the mark on his hip. "No matter what happens, I love you Roxas."

He looked up at him, smiling. "Thanks." He tried standing up, but his thighs were hurting and he realized he and Sora didn't have any clothes. "My back hurts Axel." They heard the alarm go off. "Damn it!"

Zexion and Demyx ran into the room with Riku, who ran to Sora. "Are you okay Roxas?" Demyx asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he answered. "Wait! Why is Demyx here?"

Axel smiled. "He's a water nymph demon."

"He's a girl?" he asked, looking at Demyx. Weird, he could've sworn Demyx was a boy.

Zexion sighed. "No, he's not!"

"But I am the uke! But I'm not a girl though!" Demyx informed.

Roxas laughed, trying to stand up. "I need clothes Axel."

Demyx pulled out his shorts from the backpack he had with him. "Me and Zexy stopped by your house, but I was only able to get shorts for you and Sora. Zexy rushed me." He glared at Zexion.

He pulled his shorts on. "Thanks Demyx. Where's Sora?" He saw Riku kneeling on the floor with his brother in his arms.

"I can't reach him Roxas. What's wrong with him?" Riku asked.

He walked over to them, seeing the silver eyes of Sora staring blankly at him. "He's in his own fantasy world now…" Not even smacking his brother would bring him back. There was only one way… "You have to connect with his spirit."

Riku looked at him as though he was crazy. "How?" he asked.

"You have to focus yourself into Sora, just relax your body and think about being inside him, being him. Trying to connect with him mentally will hurt you physically also if try that way," he told him.

Axel helped him stand up. "We have to find those bastards."

He nodded. "I know, but we have to wait for Sora." He felt Axel's lips against his cheek.

"I love you Roxas," he whispered.

He could feel himself shake when he said that. The words were there in his mouth, he just couldn't say them. "I know you do." I love you Axel…

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He closed his eyes, knowing time was running out, but he had to bring Sora back. His spirit left his body and went into Sora's body, trying to make him come back.

Sora's spirit was so scared, running away from him. He could see all the scars that were much deeper inside than outside, he sent waves of comfort to him. Sora…

Riku? Is it really you? Sora asked, unsure if he was real.

Yes, it's really me Sora. He replied, moving closer to him slowly.

But how? He asked frantically. No, you're not real! He retreated away from him, throwing up barriers to protect himself. Go away!

Sora, it's really me! Don't shut me out! Please! I need you Sora! He tried convincing the little scared boy. Sora was really scared, backing away from him.

No, you're not…just go away…Sora begged, crying.

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

He didn't want go back, there was too much pain in going back. I don't wanna go back, don't make me go back…

His barriers broke, he saw the phantom that was Riku walk towards him. Sora, it's really me. He saw it kneel in front of him. A hand came up to his chin, forcing him to look up at the phantom.

Go away…He tried to back away, but the Riku phantom held him, pressing his lips down hard on his. Riku held him, stroking his hair back. Riku…?

Riku pulled away from him. Yes, it's me. I love you so much. Let's go back, together…

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He saw Sora's eyes blink, losing the silver color and returning to their normal shade of blue. Sora blinked, trying to focus. "Sora?"

Sora smiled up at him. "Hey, I thought I said for you not to cry." He reached over to touch the redness around his eyes.

He chuckled. "I tried to stop crying, but I love you too much." He kissed his little brown-haired angel, moaning at the taste of him.

Axel coughed, making come back to their current situation. "We have to find Cloud, let's go. And not to mention, Sora is still naked and I don't wanna puke out my dinner from last night."

Demyx handed Sora some shorts, he helped him pull them on. They ran out of the room, Sora and Roxas leading them.

"Hey, where's Leon?" Sora asked him.

Now that he thought about it, Leon had run off without them. "I don't know, I think he went ahead to find Cloud."

Sora and Roxas went pale when he said. "Sephiroth…," they said in unison, then ran off at an impossibly fast speed. Riku and the others had to actually use their demon speed to keep up with them.

They saw Leon thrown across the hall, hitting the wall hard. "Is that all you got?," a voice sneered at him.

He saw a man with long silver hair and sea-foam green eyes, who looked almost like him, holding a long thin sword. Sora and Roxas suddenly had weapons in their hands and attacked him.

`~`~`Cloud's POV`~`~`

He saw the twins double-team Sephiroth, attacking him with everything they had. Roxas attacked relentlessly with his two keyblades while Sora was a little on the defensive, trying to avoid getting hit. He saw Leon get back up and started attacking, Axel suddenly popped out of nowhere and threw something at Sephiroth that was on fire. Riku, Zexion, and Demyx ran to him.

"Are you alright Cloud?" Riku asked him.

He nodded. "I'll live. We have to help them, he's too strong." He found his sword that had been left there when he escaped four years ago and picked it up. Big and heavy for most, it was the perfect weapon for him. He saw Roxas, Sora, Leon, and Axel crash into the walls surrounding them. Axel went to go help Roxas, Sora and Leon got up on their own. He saw Leon attack Sephiroth, slashing his gunblade at him but never connected with sadistic man. Sephiroth merely laughed at his efforts, toying around with him.

He waved his hand and Leon went back flying hard into the wall.

Sephiroth attacked him, but he was able to defend himself. He managed to push the silver-haired man off him.

"Think you can fight Cloud?" Sephiroth sneered. "You couldn't even protect yourself against Xaldin and Xigbar. Or Lexaeus for that matter. Your two sons defeated them."

Cloud took a slash at him. Sephiroth avoided it barely. "I'm strong enough to defeat you." He began his assault.

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He saw as Cloud began attacking Sephiroth ruthlessly. Axel gripped his shoulder.

"We have to find those two professors. I'm sure Leon and Cloud can handle this guy," Axel told him.

He watched Leon get up and started attacking again. Cloud could handle Sephiroth; they had to go find Ansem and Vexen. He felt Axel touch the side of his head. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Axel looked at him concerned. "What happened to your head?" His fingertips were tracing the scar that would be left after it finished healing.

Roxas shrugged. "Ansem pulled a gun on me. It doesn't hurt that badly anymore." He saw Axel looking at it. "Does it look that bad? I mean physically?"

Axel smiled down at him. "Roxas, you could be covered head to toes in scars and I would still think you're the most beautiful person in the world." He hugged him hard and kissed him. "I love you Roxy."

He tried not to shiver when he said that, but he couldn't help it. "Let's go find those guys." He wanted to be able to say the same thing to Axel, but he just couldn't. Not yet…

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

He and his brother ran ahead to look for Ansem and Vexen with Riku, Axel, Demyx, and Zexion behind them. Riku grabbed onto his hand. "Damn, Sora! I didn't think you were this fast!" Riku said, laughing.

Roxas grinned at them. "Don't complain, all of you are demons. By all means, you're the ones who should be okay!"

Riku glared at his twin. "Shut up Roxas."

Sora laughed. "We're almost there, let's hurry!" They began running again. He could feel Ansem was nearby.

"Guys!" Demyx yelled to them. Sora and Roxas turned around to see Demyx being dragged away from them by-

"Nobodies…," they said in unison. Empty shells of a being that Ansem and Vexen created. Sora ran and slashed at the beings dragging Demyx away from them. Zexion managed to get Demyx out, while Roxas attacked other Nobodies.

Roxas slashed at the last one. "I can't believe Ansem and Vexen released them. I never thought they'd use them."

"Is Demyx okay?" Sora asked Zexion.

Zexion nodded. "Just a few bruises, but he'll live."

Ansem suddenly appeared in front of Sora. "Very good Sora…"

Before anyone could react, Ansem grabbed him and disappeared. All he remembered was darkness…

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He saw Ansem grab Sora and disappear. "Damn it!" He began running again, keeping his mind connected to his brother.

Axel ran behind with Riku, Zexion, and Demyx also. "Where is he Roxas?"

"I know, don't worry." He ran more and more, praying for Sora to be okay.

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~

He woke up to find himself in a dark room. His body shivered, he knew what this meant. Ansem was hiding somewhere in the darkness, waiting for him to make a move.

"Good that you're awake Sora," Ansem said.

"What do you want Ansem? What use am I to you now? Me, Roxas, and Cloud are of no use to you anymore, why keep us?" he asked.

Ansem laughed. "Vexen seems to have use for Roxas…physically. Sephiroth simply enjoys torturing Cloud both physically and mentally. I enjoy having you around because I want to find out how your eyes change colors. I noticed that earlier."

Sora felt himself getting mad. "Leave Cloud alone! Haven't you three bastards done enough! You killed his wife and unborn child! How could you!"

Ansem didn't answer for a while. He didn't know what was more uncomfortable, Ansem quiet or Ansem talking. Finally he did. "Cloud's child never died…"

Sora felt confused. He saw the body of Tifa in Cloud's mind plenty of times. Her body broken and beaten beyond belief and to where it was almost unrecognizable. Her stomach, where a baby that had eight months of development, had been caved in. He didn't know how Cloud could live with that nightmare every day and night. "What do you mean…?"

He saw a screen go on, showing Lexaeus, Xigbar, and Xaldin beating Tifa. His stomach curled from the way they were beating her. All blows everywhere, but her stomach. She was on the ground, coughing out blood and holding her stomach. "Please…," she begged. "Don't hurt my baby."

Xaldin smirked. "Hold her down Xigbar. Vexen wants this thing out and then we can finish her off." He saw Xaldin pull out a long sharp knife and cut it along the roundness of Tifa's belly. She screamed and thrashed around, begging the three men to have mercy on her and her unborn child.

"Please don't! Don't hurt my baby!" she screamed frantically. "He's not ready to come out!"

He saw Xaldin gasp in surprise, with his hand over her stomach. "She's carrying more than one…"

He saw whoever was holding the camera hand it to Lexaeus. Ansem. "Impossible! The doctor said she was carrying one child!"

Xaldin pulled out an extremely tiny baby, and handed it to Ansem. Then he pulled out another baby, small like the first one. "She has more that one Ansem," Xaldin said, and then the tape went blank.

Sora felt himself go pale, his legs felt weak. He couldn't believe they had cut Tifa's babies out of her. "How could you!"

Ansem laughed again. "See Sora? Those babies never died. Cloud just never knew…"

"Know what?" he asked.

"Tifa had triplets. No one knew she was carrying three babies, not even she knew she was carrying triplets!" Ansem told him.

Sora felt realization come over. "Are me and Roxas…?"

"Yes!" Ansem shouted maniacally. "You and Roxas are really the sons of Cloud Strife! Poor Cloud, never knew his own sons were right in front of him!" He began laughing hysterically.

Sora felt sick, Cloud was his real father…but what about? "What about the third?"

"What?" Ansem asked.

"You said my mom was carrying triplets. Where's my other brother?" Sora asked, angry. How could he not know he had another brother?

Ansem began laughing again. "Brother? Roxas is your only brother! Oh…the third child Tifa was carrying…" He smirked. "Poor Xion…even she knows she has two older brothers! I've used that to torture her from time to time. But I mostly use Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz against her. All four of them have become quite close, like you and Riku. Especially her and Kadaj, the two of them can become quite inseparable. Hell, she even knows Cloud is her father!"

Sister? He had a sister? And she knew about him and Roxas? How could any of them not know about her? Ansem had used him and Roxas to torture her. She knew she had older brothers! Was she waiting for him and Roxas to rescue her? Did she lay in bed at night wondering when her brothers and father would come and get her? Did she wonder why they never came for her? She must've known they escaped and waited for them to get her. "Where is she?"

"And what will you do when you find her?" Ansem asked, taunting him. "She won't leave Kadaj and his brothers. And the Jenova triplets will remind Cloud too much of Sephiroth, they're clones of him. Same silver hair, same color eyes. But shockingly look different. Kadaj seems like the angel, but can be sadistic if we give him the chance. Loz may look muscular for his age, but he's a really big crybaby. Yazoo looks sadistic and is rather calm. Xion trusts them more than you and your family, so why should you care honestly?"

"She's still my sister! Where is she?" he demanded, pulling out his keyblade. "I'll only ask you once Ansem…"

Ansem snickered at that comment. "If you kill me, you'll never find her…"

"I wouldn't count on that…," a voice said. He heard sounds of a struggle, but couldn't pinpoint their location.

The lights came on in the room he was in, he saw the dead of Ansem lying on the floor in a pool of blood. He saw a girl with short black hair and celestial blues and a keyblade in her hand next to the body…

`~`~`Axel's POV`~`~`

They had been running for almost ten minutes, and finally they made to the other side of the lab! Roxas continued to run, and turned into a hallway and stopped. Axel stepped in front of him, to protect him from the new people.

Three boys stood there with sullen expressions on their faces, all three of them with silver hair and sea-green eyes. They could've been Riku's younger brothers for all he knew, but that wasn't so.

The one with short shoulder-length hair step towards them. "Who are you people?" he asked.

Axel fired up his chakrams. "Move it or lose it! We have to find our friend!"

The one with long hair and bangs spoke, "Are one of you Roxas?"

He saw Roxas step up, both keyblades in his hands. "Who wants to know?"

"Name's Kadaj," the one with shoulder-length hair said. "And this one-" He referred to the one with long hair. "-is Yazoo and the muscular one is my brother Loz. We're experiments from here."

He saw Roxas go pale. "But I thought me and Sora were the only ones…?"

"They don't even know her," Loz said. He saw Kadaj confused, Yazoo looked as though he felt sorry for someone.

"Know what?" Axel asked the three boys.

Kadaj looked at them. "Roxas, you have a younger sister and Cloud is your real father. They had cut the three of you: Sora, you, and your younger sister Xion, out of Tifa. Cloud's children never died."

He saw Roxas almost fall down. "I have a sister…? Cloud is my real father? How did I not know about her?" Axel knew all of this had to be a bit overwhelming for him, thinking that he and Sora were just twins, but now they had a younger sister?

"How do we know you're not lying?" Axel asked them.

A girl with short black hair and celestial blue eyes, the same color eyes as Roxas and Sora, walk over to Kadaj. She looked at Axel. "I honestly don't care if you don't believe me. I just wanna leave right now."

Sora walked out of the room, looking at Roxas and Riku. "Roxas, meet our sister Xion." Axel saw Riku run to Sora and hugged him.

"Are you okay Sora?" Riku asked, checking Sora for any injuries.

Axel saw Roxas walk over to Xion. "I'm Roxas," he introduced himself to her.

The girl, Xion, just stood there and looked at him. He saw tears form in the girl's eyes before she launched herself at Roxas and hugged him. Roxas held her tightly, like he wouldn't let her go. Axel heard the two of them crying.

"Awww how sweet. If I had a heart, I would cry," a cold voice sneered.

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He looked up from hugging Xion and saw Vexen standing behind them. Zexion and Demyx on the floor, trying to get up. "Vexen…," he growled. He saw Axel launch his two chakrams at Vexen, Riku attacked him.

"Kadaj! Yazoo! Loz! Go find my father and help him!" Xion yelled at the three triplet boys.

The three left, Sora was helping Riku, Demyx had made copies of himself with water and had those copies attack. Zexion was floating, which freaked Roxas out a little bit, chanting a spell from his book. Vexen shot icicles from his shield at them, Demyx had managed to make a shield, but Zexion was left defenseless.

Demyx stood by Xion, deflecting any icicles shot at them, protecting Zexion at all costs. Roxas attacked Vexen ruthlessly, dodging any icicles shot at him. He almost got hit one but Axel had saved him. Zexion had the shadows hold Vexen down.

"Sora!" Riku shouted.

He turned around and saw his brother on the ground with an icicle sticking out from his shoulder. Riku ran to him, pulling the thing out to stop the bleeding. He heard Vexen laugh.

"Sora never was as fast you, that's why I never liked him," Vexen said, breaking free of Zexion's grasp.

Roxas ran at him and attacked him. "Shut up!" He slashed so fast Vexen had a hard time dodging and deflecting his blows. "You killed my mother!" The slash at Vexen's shield cracked a little. His mother had died trying to protect them."You hid my sister!" Another slash, the crack getting bigger. Xion knew they were alive and they had hidden her from his family. "Tortured my father!" The crack grew bigger with the next slash. Everyday Cloud would be haunted by his mother's ghost. "Tortured my brother!" The shield slowly crumbled away, leaving Vexen defenseless. They had done cruel things to Sora, breaking his brother."And tortured me!" He stabbed Vexen through the heart. "But you will never break me!"

He took the blade out of Vexen and watched the cold scientist fall to the floor. Axel walked over to him, and held him. He felt better, killing someone was never easy, but with Axel there with him, he could be okay.

Cloud, Leon, and the three triplet boys came into view. "Where's Sephiroth?" Sora asked, standing up, holding his injured shoulder.

Leon shook his head. "He escaped. Why are his clones helping us?"

He looked at the three boys. Now that Leon mentioned it, the three boys did look like Sephiroth. Kadaj stepped forward to Leon. "We might be clones, but we do have hearts!"

Yazoo and Loz pulled their weapons when Leon walked over to Kadaj, who looked at the older man defiantly. "We know, but where is he?"

Kadaj shrugged. "I don't know…"

Roxas stepped in. "I'll find him." He looked at Axel. "Get everyone else out, I'll look for Sephiroth."

Axel shook his head. "Not without me, you won't."

He held Axel back. "Please Axel. I'll be fine. Help Cloud and the other get out of here. Protect Xion for me."

Sora walked over to him. "I'm going with you." He turned to Riku. "Help Axel get everyone out."

Riku nodded, then kissed Sora on the lips. "Okay, but you come back! Promise?"

Sora smiled at him. "I promise."

He looked at Axel, at least giving him one thing. "I promise to come back." With that, he and Sora ran off to find Sephiroth.

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He watched Sora and Roxas run down the hall and then disappeared around the corner. Zexion was helping Demyx, who had drained his energy against Vexen, walk. Xion, Sora's long lost little sister, was helping Leon with Cloud. The three triplet boys helped them, Axel led the way out.

He wondered what Sora was doing right now. Was he okay? Was he hurt? Did Sephiroth kill him? All kinds of questions were in his head. He wondered what the three boys meant to any of them. "What exactly are you three?"

The three triplets stopped. Kadaj looked at all of them. "We're just remnants of Sephiroth from project JENOVA. I'm the youngest clone of him. The three of us represent something of Sephiroth's own personality."

"What do you mean?," Cloud asked them.

"I represent Sephiroth's cruelty and his insanity," Kadaj told them.

"I'm the middle clone. I represent Sephiroth's aloofness and charisma," Yazoo said.

"And I'm the oldest, representing Sephiroth's physical strength and have some emotional instability," Loz told them.

Riku backed from as the rest of them, except Xion, did, keeping an eye on them. Xion groaned in frustration. "Look! They're NOT Sephiroth! Or remnants! They were created, but they do have hearts of their own! I've seen Sephiroth's mind! He just wanted three boys to represent him in some way! So are you guys just gonna stand there and fight us? Or are we gonna escape?"

"But how do we know you're not just saying that!" Leon yelled at her.

Riku wanted to believe her, but trusting someone completely new was a big step. Cloud held Leon back. "She's telling the truth Leon."

Leon looked at him in disbelief. "How do you know Cloud? She could be lying!"

Cloud smirked. "She's my daughter, and plus she has Tifa's 'take no crap from anyone' attitude. She reminds me of her. But I know Xion isn't lying, Kadaj and his brothers aren't either. Their just kids Leon, they have a life ahead of them."

Riku saw Kadaj wrap his arms around Xion's waist from behind and whispered something in her ear. She looked at him and smiled and nodded. The three triplets walked off, pulling out their weapons. Loz's weapon was something that clung to his left arm, looking almost like a stun gun. Yazoo's weapon looked like a sword at first, but he caught a glimpse of a trigger at the handle. Kadaj's weapon was two swords parallel to each other. "What's going on?" he asked Xion.

She looked at them, seriously. "Nobodies are heading this way, I hope all of you can at least defend yourselves." They began running again in the direction the triplets headed in. He saw the triplets fighting off the enemies.

"They're just like Sephiroth, but with a style on their own as well," Cloud said.

Riku was shocked at how the three of them fought on their own and together at the same time. Kadaj's attacks were swift and short, Yazoo would shoot long range and fight gracefully and even more quick than Kadaj at close range. Loz fought with brutal strength, pummeling enemies with his great strength. All three of them fought as though they were one person, but in three bodies. But then again, they were clones of Sephiroth.

Kadaj slashed the last one and turned to them. "Let's go! Sephiroth rigged this place with explosives and it's gonna blow any second!"

They all began running, but Riku couldn't help but think of Sora. He didn't know about the place being rigged with explosives! Sora, if you can hear me. Get out! This place is gonna blow any second!

Don't worry me and Roxas will be fine. Get everyone else out! Sora told him.

He saw Loz grab onto Kadaj and Yazoo's arms and threw them ahead to the Nobodies that were there. The two boys easily slashed their way through.

`~`~`Cloud's POV`~`~`

He watched as the three clones of Sephiroth make a way out for them. He stumbled most of the way, Leon and his long lost daughter Xion helped him out. They heard explosives go off in the building.

No…

Sora and Roxas were still in there! They hadn't escaped yet. He saw the three silver-haired boys groan in pain, going down on their knees, clutching at their chests.

"Kadaj! Yazoo! Loz!" Xion yelled, going to Kadaj.

"He's gone…," Kadaj mumbled.

Cloud felt himself go cold. "What do you mean?" he asked Kadaj.

The boy smiled as if the world was lifted off his shoulders. "Sephiroth's dead. He's gone!" The boy started jumping around like a little kid, screaming out in joy. Yazoo and Loz just looked at him like he was crazy. But what happened to Sora and Roxas?

Xion looked at him, doubt in her eyes. The building collapsed, explosives going off everywhere around it. He saw Riku try to rush back inside, but Leon stopped him. Axel was being held off by Zexion and Demyx, barely.

"Roxas!" Axel yelled as they saw the entire building collapse.

Cloud felt himself get sick. The building burned quickly to the ground, collapsing completely to the ground. Sora and Roxas never came out.

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He fell onto his knees, Leon still held him.

Sora didn't come back out. Sora? Are you there?

His mind had been completely disconnected from Sora's. He'd tried to connect with him, but all he found was emptiness. Tears fell from his eyes, he didn't bother to stop them.

Sora. His Sora, was gone…

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME ZEXION AND DEMYX!" Axel yelled, trying to get them off of him. "ROXAS!" Tears fell from his face. He cried on his knees hitting at the ground. Zexion held onto him as he cried, screaming for Roxas.

Sora, please answer me…

Nothing.

Sora, please say something! Answer me please!

Nothing answered him.

He didn't even sense Sora's presence anywhere. No life energy was emerging anywhere. He's gone…

He closed his eyes and cried hard against Leon's shoulder. His heart and soul broke into a million pieces, he wanted to hear Sora. But Sora was gone. He wasn't coming back; he wouldn't pop up and say it was all a joke. But he knew Sora and Roxas needed to make sure Sephiroth wouldn't come back.

He'd try to be happy for Sora and Roxas. They had wanted freedom all their lives and now they had it. They didn't have to worry about Ansem, Sephiroth, or Vexen taking them away anymore. He would live on for eternity, watching everyone grow old, but Sora would always be fresh on his mind. Nothing would wipe him out. For the little bit of time Sora had a 'normal' life, he and Roxas had changed the lives of everyone around them. Riku was able to be himself as was Axel. He only hoped in the next life, when he was meant to die, he'd see his little angel again. The content of having met Sora in his heart made him feel a little better, Sora was finally free. He only hoped that he didn't suffer in his final living second.

It would be hard; Riku had no doubt about that. His heart broke at the thought of living without Sora, his bright smile, the shyness that hid his passion, and the way his eyes would light up every time Riku came in the room. But no matter what, he would continue to live for himself and Sora. He'd help Axel through this no matter how hard the path was and he would carry on Sora's memory.

The sun shined through the dark clouds, all of them looked up at it. Riku had a feeling life would somehow get easier. He smiled up at the clouds.

You're finally free Sora. I'll always love you no matter what…
