Xion: R...Roxas...

Xion: Your name...it's...Roxas, isn't it?



Xion: Good...morning, Roxas.

Xion: When do we get to go?


Xion: Roxas.

Xion: Good luck today.

Xion: Our target!

Xion: Yeah...neither did I.

Xion: Something extra?

Xion: How'd you find such a great place?

Xion: Okay...It's sweet. But kinda salty, too.

Xion (giggling): Sounds like it's yours, too!

Xion: A little something extra?

Xion: You guys must be close.

Xion: Your...friend? Roxas, do you think I could be a friend?

Xion: Okay!



Xion: I guess we're not working together today.



Xion: I went to a new world today. Roxas, you should've seen it. It was
so beautiful.

Xion: Well, I'll visit you tomorrow, okay? Bye, Roxas...



Xion: Roxas!?

Xion: You were sleeping--a long, long time. Saïx told us not to get our
hopes up. That you might not-- Well, you're awake now. That's what counts.

Xion: Here, I brought you this. It's a seashell.

Xion: I've been picking one up every time I go out on a mission. Hold it
up to your ear.



Xion (stopping): Roxas!?

Xion: Nngh... R...Roxas?

Xion: I'm fine... Thanks. It's just...

Xion: Thanks.

Xion: I know.

Xion: I can't... I can't use the Keyblade anymore.

Xion: And without it. I can't do my job.

Xion: I don't know. But if I don't defeat Heartless with the Keyblade...the
hearts they release just find their way into other Heartless instead. I swat
them in one place and they just pop up in another. I'm supposed to be
collecting hearts. Those are my orders. Without the Keyblade...I'm useless.

Xion: They're gonna turn me into a Dusk once they find out they don't need me.

Xion: What do you mean, Axel?

Xion: You don't mind?

Xion: But--

Xion: Thanks... So...Axel, does that mean you and I can be friends?

Xion: Thank you... Roxas, Axel, thank you!



Xion: Morning, Roxas.

Xion: You ready to give this a shot?

Xion: Yeah, is it a problem?

Xion: So our orders are to investigate a cave this time?

Xion: Wow, how'd you stumble across that?

Xion: And that led you to the cave... Good call on Axel's part. So, you ready
to go explore it?

Xion: Uh-oh. We're not alone.

Xion: What do you wanna do?

Xion: Roger that!

Xion: Hey, Roxas, look...

Xion: He must've dropped it.

Xion: What do you think? Should we just leave it?

Xion: Hmm, then I guess I'll hold onto it. It might come in handy.

Xion: Feel that? A draft. There must be a chamber on the other side.

Xion: Hey... What do you make of this?

Xion: Hunh, it looks about the same size as the gem I found.

Xion: No way! It clicked right into place!

Xion: If it was here to begin with, it should probably stay here. Ready to
dig a little deeper?

Xion: We've combed this whole area. What's next?

Xion: Okay!

Xion: Hmm... When in doubt...give it a good smack?

Xion: Try hitting this one.

Xion: Yeah, this looks like it was all built ages ago.

Xion: The cave must be like a labyrinth.

Xion: I think we've seen what there is to see here. Wanna head back down?

Xion: Yeah, would hitting it work?

Xion: Hunh. So the switches were for those steps.

Xion: Okay!

Xion: It's holding a jewel or something. I think that's about all we're gonna
find down here.

Xion: So what's the verdict?

Xion: Sounds good to me.

Xion: Come on, Roxas! We can't stay here!

Xion: Whew... We made it.

Xion: So, I take it that was the guy?

Xion: Yeah. He kept going on about some magic lamp.

Xion: Ah! Roxas, behind you!

Xion: You okay?

Xion: I think it likes you.

Xion: Wh-who are you!?

Xion: Y-yes?

Xion: Psst! Roxas, change the subject!

Xion: Well, I don't know about anybody named Al, but... The city's in rough
shape. They've been fixing it up.

Xion: We should get back, Roxas.



Xion: Yeah, I think it's gonna work... Thanks, Axel. You and Roxas are
the best.

Xion: We sure ran into some interesting characters this time, huh?

Xion: Genie sounded really worried about his friend--some guy named Al. But,
I guess you can't always jump in and do everything for your friends--
even if you want to.

Xion: Yeah, it's not like they were joined at the hip.



Xion: Let's go, Roxas.

Xion: We have to investigate this castle today, right?

Xion: We'd better be careful not to let anybody here see us.

Xion: You guess?

Xion: What?

Xion: Really? What was it?

Xion: I guess so! Well, let's get started.

Xion: Guess it's been a while since they used this room.

Xion: Maybe someone laid them out as food for the birds?

Xion: Wow. What made you think to do that?

Xion: Could be Heartless.

Xion: Some Heartless that got restless, maybe?

Xion: You think the Heartless did it?

Xion: Roxas!

Xion: What did you see?

Xion: Oh, come on...

Xion: Whoa, you weren't kidding. But...how can it...

Xion: So you figure it's one of the castle's servants?

Xion: Well, that covers pretty much everywhere we can get to.

Xion: Yeah, that he won't leave his chambers. Maybe whoever this "master" is
has a room or something down at the end of the hall.

Xion: What? But we--

Xion: You really think we can?

Xion: Okay... If you say so.

Xion: Exactly. Which means they must have a lot of servants.

Xion: The Heartless must be really out of control here.

Xion: Big ones... Heartless?

Xion: Wh-what was that?

Xion: Can you get a look at what's going on inside from here?

Xion: Well, Roxas?

Xion: Whoa... What is he?

Xion: Roxas, that monster--

Xion: You think!?

Xion: Ah, then I guess he must be the beast. Beast's Castle? Makes sense.

Xion: You're probably right. We shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Xion: You think he made them, not the Heartless?

Xion: A beast with his own castle and a candelabra for a servant...

Xion: Well, we know what the master looks like. I think we can report back
to Saïx now.

Xion: Want to RTC?

Xion: Really? I don't hear anything. Maybe you're imagining it.

Xion: Roxas! Don't open it!

Xion: Well, if somebody's in there, we'd better steer clear.

Xion: Hey, Roxas... There's something I think everybody in this castle has
in common.

Xion: Right. There was that walking candelabra, and the master is some kind
of beast...

Xion: I wonder what happened in this castle.

Xion: Yeah, you're right.



Xion: Someone's coming.

Xion: Is that a...

Xion: He mentioned a master. You think he's a servant here in the castle?

Xion: Well, what are we going to do? The way he's pacing around...



Xion: Good luck today.

Xion: Let's head out through this hall.

Xion: It's that candelabra.

Xion: So this Belle person lives here in the castle.

Xion: She'd have to be brave to stand up to a beast like that.

Xion: Good point.

Xion: Right.

Xion: Roxas... I don't think we'll be able to sneak past him this time.

Xion: A castle this big must have a few secret nooks and crannies.

Xion: Roxas, up there!

Xion: Mission accomplished.

Xion: Ready to head back? We can stop for ice cream and--

Xion: Whoa...

Xion: Apparently.

Xion: What do you mean?

Xion: Well, yeah. That's our job.

Xion: I don't know that I'd call us Xemnas's servants, exactly... But you're
right. If he's taking the Heartless on himself, he must have a good reason.

Xion: Like...maybe he has something he wants to protect.

Xion: Let's call it a day, Roxas. Axel's probably waiting.



Xion: Roxas took today's Heartless out in no time flat.

Xion: It's where all the hearts you and I collect wind up.

Xion: "The strength of the human heart is vast," Xemnas said.



Xion: Ready for another day?

Xion: You mean the castle with the talking candelabra?

Xion: I don't know how much longer we can fool the other members, though.

Xion: Guess we'll just have to cross our fingers.

Xion: You know, I've seen Demyx out in the field, rocking out on that sitar
of his.

Xion: Even Nobodies? Don't you need a heart to be unique?

Xion: What past?

Xion: Me neither.

Xion: I'm like you, Roxas. I don't remember much from the beginning either.
