*Eveything had gotten so dark again. He felt so sleepy, like he couldn't help but keep his eyes shut.*

*It was a dreadful yet oddly comfortable feeling. Like being wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket, but unable to see your surroundings.*

*It had been so long since he got to relax like this, actually.* 

*Thinking on it, he realized the last time he actually got some time chill out and indulge in some self care was almost over six years ago. The battle against Kiki started when the unversed attacked his home and, after meeting Suke, didn't end until the final battle at the graveyard. Even then, the battle didn't really end there either. Him and Suke spent those next five years on a constant search for Kiki, who seemingly escaped the battle. They traveled to many worlds, met many people and helped them along the way. But in his heart, Ikazuchi knew he could never truly relax while Kiki was still at large.*

*He felt a little nostalgia, thinking about the past this way. It helped him settle deeper into this state of lucid sleep.* 

*He couldn't help but drift back to the good old days, before everything blew up in his face. It helped that this feeling of nostalgia was washing over his mind, like a gentle brain massage.*

*It made him think back to the beginning of it all... The Destiny Pirates saving him from the ocean... Meeting the others on the shore of destiny islands... A promise he made.*

*Who was it again that he made the promise to..? After he started training with Master Aria, he promised... Of course, it was Uminami he said the promise to, she saved him after all. That with the power of the kyeblade, he could and would protect her.*

*He promised Suzuka that he would protect her. She saved him after all.*

*But, his time on Destiny Isles was fleeting. Thinking about the past only trudged up the memories of the present... The present? Inaxuma had to be stopped... His tricks couldn't keep getting in the way.. How are him and the others supposed to fight against Maleficent if he doesn't wake up soon?*

*They got this... Its not like he was that vital to the plan. It was more important if he stayed here... To protect Suzuka.*

*The comfort waned as he could finally feel his eyelids not longer too heavy to open. Where... Was he? Where was Suzuka?*

*He felt his eyelids once again grow heavy, as he drifted back to sleep.*

"Confirming the results. Amyrx will be pleased to hear this stage of the experiment was a success."
Emilia
"Is this everything you needed for today?"
Pattie
"Not quite. We've gotten this one up and running, but she requested a few more backups be made... Just in case."
Emilia
"So you will require another scan of these memories?"
Pattie
"We shall see. However for now we'll go ahead and have Suzuka unlock them so I can recreate another..."
