The Anti-Form Nix stared at Johnny as he talked, wondering why he was talking and not fighting for his life.. When he hugged her she tried to swipe at him but he had her in a tight hug. When she was freed she tried swiping at him but the others pulled him and Kana away. The words Johnny spoke echoed through her mind, distracting her while Roxas and Sora got the two to safety. Those words were almost literally knocked out of her when she felt a force hit the back of her neck. Before Sora could get a hit in on her she jumped back and away, putting distance between them.

Nix was about to rush towards them and kill them but a new voice reached her ears. It was Reno.. He was saying that he didn't care that she became this strange beast, that he knew she was still good inside. After he was done speaking her clawed hands were on her head. It was as if she was attempting to regain control over herself. A pained expression came to her face as she shook her head, stumbling back a few steps.

'I don't care that you just transformed into some creepy Anti-Form. Why should I? I know that inside you're still the same..'
'We are your friends and we'll always help you through any hard times you may have, including this one right here!'
'I don't even know if you can hear me Nix, but we care about you okay?'
'We're here to help you through anything and everything. That I promise.'

Those kind words echoed through her mind, trying to call back the real Nix but.. Soon they were drowned out by other words..

'Don't you two realize how dangerous she is right now? We have to knock her out! Talking to her isn't going to do anything!'
'This, umm, thing! It's Nix!'
'What. . . the hell is that?'
'Johnny, get away from her. . . now!''

'They think.. I'm a monster..'

It was a mental struggle against the power of darkness but sadly she couldn't escape it's grasp just yet. Another loud, sharp, shrill echoed through the air as her hands left her head. Her focus landed on the two that attacked her, a threatening growl passing her lips. The Anti-form rushed towards the two, clawing at them rapidly in an attempt to do them harm. Though there was something different about her this time.. Even though she was trying to kill them tears were streaming down her face. The real Nix was still in there, trying to fight back the darkness.

Tsuki had gotten a tad bored watching them fight the Heartless. She sighed and frowned down at the group and slowly turned away. "I'm gonna go somewhere. This is getting boring." She had started to walk away and was about 5 houses away till she heard the chilling shrieks of one of the Keybladers. "What in name of?"

Tsuki began to head back and saw that one of the female Keybladers had turned into.... Something, and that there was a new Keyblader. He had spikey blonde hair and had two Keyblades. That was normally rather rare. What happened after I walked off? She frowned and adjusted her scythe nervously. She had never been in a situation like this before.

✗ Before Kana had any idea what the hell was going on, the blonde boy was yelling at her and Johnny. He actually grabbed her and shoved her behind him. The nerve! Kana did realize that Nix tried to attack her but the newcomer could have told her just to get out of the way. He then practically ordered her to run and have Johnny come protect her. Reno then also told Johnny to protect some pretty girl. Kana looked to her left and then to her right, excepting to see another girl besides Anti-Nix in the immediate area, after not seeing anyone she then realized he was actually talking about her. Kana flushed a little, half out of embarrassment and the other half was because he called her pretty. Compliments weren’t something she got very often.

Kana’s feelings of embarrassment and flattery was soon replaced with irritation that was bubbling up inside her. Attacking Nix was NOT the right way to do this. How were they going to make her come back to her senses if she thought they were her enemy? She’d just keep fighting them and possibly never be herself again, the thought of that happening actually scared Kana.

The blonde girl heard Johnny yelling at Sora and the rude newcomer. “Johnny is right! Attacking her is just going to make her turn to the darkness! How is she supposed to snap out of it when her 'friends' are attacking her?!” Kana shouted. The volume of her own voice surprised her. She was normally so quiet and reserved, apparently she was full of surprises today.

The red haired boy who now Kana considered to be probably the bravest person she’d ever met began talking about Soras’ great tale. It really was a story that reached across the worlds it seemed. Coming from the same world as Sora, Kana had heard rumors that some island children were fighting against the darkness that threatened people’s hearts and visiting other worlds, keeping them all safe. Hero’s in the truest sense it seemed, like the one’s Kana had read about in books for as long as she could remember. She couldn’t help but agree with Johnny that there was nothing heroic about the boys were doing right now. It made Kana sick, frustrated, and surprisingly angry.

Kana stood there, not really sure what to do for the next few seconds as Johnny stood there, basically tearing Sora, Leon, and the new guys morals and standards apart. Kana could help but give a small smile of approval. Johnny seemed to have an uncanny ability to unveil people, maybe it was a gift he had. Maybe it was partially why the keyblade chose him, the ability to see what was really in someone’s heart was an amazing thing. He’s so brave, standing up to all of them. Kana thought as she looked at Johnny. Or just crazy but either way. He’s pretty amazing.

“Johnny, you won’t have to fight the three of them alone if they’re still hell-bent on attacking Nix. I’ll fight with you.” The young blonde woman said. They’re not going to hurt her. It’s not going to solve anything. Kana then listened as Johnny addressed Nix. She looked at the girl in her anti-form and also smiled at her. “Listen to him Nix…Come back to us. I want to be friends with you, even though you made me cry. Please come back.” her green eyes once more filled with tears. “Find the light, follow it back to us, to your friends, to the Protega. Follow it home.”

Home. Such a strange little word to use to describe everyone and everything that probably mattered to Nix. Kana thought for a moment about her home back on Destiny Island…was that really her home anymore? Or was her home the Protega? A feeling of conflicting emotions came over Kana but she shook her head. That didn’t matter right now, Nix mattered.

Sora jumped back from nix's attack, his wrist slightly cut. He gazed at Johnny and as he listened, he still felt sure he was right. Was Sora right? In the end, no. He was basing this almost entirely on his experiences, which was almost always fighting. He could never stop, just going world to world, fighting for his friends. He exhaled a long breath, and frowned. "Yeah Johnny, you're right. I was doing this the only way I know how really. This form, I know what she is going through. It's an anti-form, created from the darkness that looms in everyones hearts. I don't care if you believe the stories about me, nor do I expect you to, just don't mistake my intentions, I want to help her, no matter what, and Leon, he was just doing what I said, he didn’t know better. It was really the only solution I could think of, but now that I think about it, Donald and Goofy were always there for me, through thick and thin. Which is why I've been a darn fool. I hope you all can forgive me, for thinking I knew best. I know what it feels like in that state, it is awful." He said, looking down at his feet. This Johnny guy was something special, and Sora wished he could of met him earlier.

"Nix, I understand what kind of place your in." He said walking past Johnny and standing in front of her. "You know that saying,'People tend to remember the bad over the good?' well you have to remember the good. Think about Johnny, Kana. Think about how you helped our allies once we remembered. All that rage, that sadness, you can fight it. I was too weak to, but not you Nix. We're all here to help you. Remember, all for one, and one for all. I was too stupid to see this earlier. When I was at the island for those short years, I forgot alot of things I learned in my travels, it made me less aware. . . Donald actually told me that one, the day we met" He said, a smile soon coming on at the thought of his companions. It was all up to Leon now.

When Leon came rushing towards her, Nix was ready to cut him down.. At least that was the plan until Johnny knocked him away. Why did he do that? She was trying to kill them, trying to get rid of them. AS the boy chewed the three attackers out her claws twitched, wanting to rip into the boy that stood before her. His back was exposed and he was simply standing there saying things to her and the others. Though before the anti-form could act more people started to surround her, saying things, touching her.. They didn't look afraid of her at all.

When Reno hugged her and then backed away it caught her immediate attention. Nix turned to him and swung one of her clawed hands into the air, bringing it down to dig into him.. Well it looked that way but before the claws touched him, she froze. Her body nearly stopped moving except for a slight shiver. Somehow the woman was able to stop but it was because some of the words that were spoken finally reached her..

"Nix, I believe in you okay? Grab hold of the light in your heart and let it shine. Forget what those Guild buggers did to you and smile okay? Come back to us."
"I want to be friends with you, even though you made me cry. Please come back.”
"We're all here to help you. Remember, all for one, and one for all."
"I'll wait right here for you. No matter what, I'll be by your side to help you through everything okay?"
"“Find the light, follow it back to us, to your friends, to the Protega. Follow it home.”

'Home.. Friends.. Never before did I think I would have any of that.. I still don't deserve it but.. I don't want this darkness to consume me.. I want to come back.. I WANT TO COME BACK!'

White cracks stretched across Nix's skin and then the darkness started fading away. The blackness fading into mist as the woman returned to normal. The tears were still streaming down her face, her arm falling to her side. It was a clear sign that she had regained her sanity and control of herself. Though she looked exhausted, like that form drained her of her energy once it lost its grip over her. "I'm.. sorry.. I didn't mean to.." Her vision was blurred so she didn't know who was who, not that it mattered anyway. She swayed before falling forward, only to lean against the very man she was about to attack. Reno. In a blink of an eye the woman was in a deep sleep, unable to keep herself awake much longer.

Rei looked at the scene below and growled under his breath. He was hoping that at least one of them would've perished but it seemed like some divine force was looking out for them now. ".. Guild members. We're going back to headquarters. Master's orders.. They can go to the Bailey if they wish. Soon they will see that their past efforts were for nothing!" He said as he opened a Dark Corridor, watching as Kyoki sadly walked through it.
