Sora finds a Honduran Opal with a memory inside that has been forgotten by all but Naminé.
Sora is kneeling in front of Riku or at least someone who looks a lot like Riku. "Riku...? Riku! RIKU!" He turns to look up at Naminé. "What did you do? What did you do to him?"
Larxene steps through a corridor of darkness, appearing in a cloud of black energy at the forefront of the hall. "Broke his heart." She answered Sora's question though her tone was snide and pointed. "I'd say more like she smashed it, really." Naminé sits in front of Riku as if feeling the pain of what she has done reverberate through her slender frame.
Sora looks between Naminé and Larxene. "Smashed...his heart?! Then...what's gonna… What's gonna happen to Riku?"
Larxene laughs, her voice loud and shrill. "Oh, you're so much fun to watch. If it's Riku you're worried about, then don't. Because Riku was never really here."
Sora glared up at her, "What do you mean?"
Larxene looks like she's enjoying herself far too much. "Do you really think I'm just gonna say it? That's too easy! Oh, what to do?"
"Quit the games!" Sora attacked her but she kicked him away and sighs.
"All right, have it your way, then. I know it'll kill you to hear this, but I think I can live with that. That thing lying there is just a puppet that Vexen made as an experiment. No more than a toy. It's laughable, really. It called you a fake, but IT was a fabrication all along."
Sora's head rose to meet Larxene's crazy smile. "Not Riku? A fake?!"
"Fake in every possible way. It was only finished recently. How could it remember anything?" Larxene picks up the fake Rik. "You get it? Its memories with Naminé were just planted, not real." She throws the replica near the wall. "Yup. That means, all this time, it's been picking fights with you over memories---that were counterfeit, trumped up, and completely bogus. Isn't that the truth, Naminé?" She picks Naminé's head up and try as Larxene mights to meet her gaze, she continues to look down towards the floor. "Oh, so cute...but behind this little face, you do awful things."
Sora looks to the girl he had thought of as a friend. "Naminé..."
Larxene laughs. "You're so stupid. Don't you get it now? That's what Naminé's powers are about! She can enter, rearrange, and even create new memories---of anything, even things that never happened. The girl you've been trying to protect all this time---is really a manipulative witch who shackles people's hearts!"
Naminé remains speechless as Sora begins to understand. "Then...my memories...are all..."
"Oh, you do get it! Lies, lies, all lies! Just Naminé's illusions, nothing more. Binding you in the chains of your own memory was central to our trap. It makes me tingle to think how easily you were duped. So close to it… we were almost there. This was our only chance to turn the Keyblade master into our puppet, but... That jerk Axel---he used Naminé to betray us!" Larxene summons her knives to her hand and Sora looks up towards her. "So now, I'm left with no choice but to eliminate you!"
Sora glares up at her. "You'll pay..."
Larxene steps forward to meet him but Naminé walks in between Sora and Larxene with her arms spread out to protect him. "Don't!" She doesn't care what she's done. She doesn't want to see Sora get hurt anymore.
"Huh?" Larxene snears down at her. "It's a little late for the witch to grow a conscience. Last time I checked---YOU'RE the one who fooled around with his memories creating this mess."
"I know, but---" Naminés voice is cut off by Larxene. "I should tell you that I'm in an EXTREMELY foul mood. Thanks to you,all our plans are ruined!" Naminé is knocked off her feet and crumbles to the wind marble floor.
Sora reaches out to Naminé. "Naminé!"
"What's this? Are you upset?" Larxene giggles. "And you don't even actually know her!"
"Maybe not." Sora glared at her. "But still...I made...a promise."
Larxene snarls, "What?"
He starts to stand up, "A promise I made to Naminé to keep her safe. Maybe my memories are fake. But the promise is real to me. (He falters slightly) That's why---I'll keep it."
"Hmph. You're such an idiot. There is no promise and there never was! You're just delusional. Must you insist on playing the hero? Whatever. If that's the way you want it... You're going down alone!" Larxene isn't able to say more as a shield appears and both Donald and Goofy show up to help Sora fight off this evil Organization… witch.
Closed for Sora
