*Light... As far as the eye could see. Despite all Fiora has been through, everything she felt, her heart was filled with light. Not an ounce of darkness left. And through that light, her despair took form. Without darkness, it latched to the light. And with it, Fiora was now trapped, forced to watch as her despair began to kill her only friend left. Ika was gone, and there was nothing she could do.*

"Dado... Ika... I'm sorry.."

*Tears began to flow as she began hoping, with all her heart, that someone would help her... Anyone...*
David
*A light, so bright as to eradicate any darkness in which it shines upon. However, those who bathe in the light often forget the shadows that are cast by it...*

*Fiora's desperation and another's reflection of the past caused a connection to form. It was faint, as the disparity between the elements was vast.*

*Her shadow beneath her feet twisted and curved, before forming a shape that didn't quite match her own...*
Mabel
"To give up now would be unbecoming of you, Fiora of Destiny Islands..."

*The voice was hoarse and faint, yet it had a sense of familiarity and warmth to it, and from a certain angle, her shadow would almost look like.. No it couldn't be. Was she going crazy or was this shadow on the floor in front of her Ikazuchi's?*
Clifton
*Fiora's eyes widened at the familiar looking shadow.*

"I-ika...? Is that...? No... Ika isn't dark like you. You're Inaxuma aren't you! You tried to trick me before but it won't work this time!"
Mabel
"Inaxuma... Ikazuchi... Two halves of the same whole... Perhaps I am both, or yet I am neither... In the end, I'm all that is left."

*The voice sighed at her words, it probably wasn't going to be as easy as it was with Daedalus of Toy Box. Her light would be enough to erase a part of himself entirely if he showed his face to her like he did to Dado.*

"To answer your accusation... Exactly. I am not Inaxuma. You can conceptualize myself as... The remainder of Ikazuchi's original heart. One that was lost when Ikazuchi's master bestowed upon him the title of Beacon of Hope."
Clifton
"But... Ika is dead. I watched him die, and fade away. If you're what's left, then shouldn't you be light? Ika was pure light, nothing else. His only darkness was that bastard, Inaxuma. But if you're saying the truth..."

*Fiora was a bit confused, but began to think to herself about what was going on.*

"If you're what's left of Ika... Then does that mean I can bring you back?"
Mabel
"You are right... You could say I'm what's left. Ikazuchi was not always a Heart of Pure Light. He was whole, like your friend Daedalus of Toy Box. The storm that separated thunder and lightning left some darkness within his heart, which was cleansed by his master. I exist because of this darkness..." 

*The shadow moved along the floor, seeming to pace as it spoke to Fiora.*

"Death is not the end, but the beginning. I was dead once... Lost long ago when thunder and lightning were separated. Your friend, Ikazuchi, came from my death. Your bonds chain him to this world, and keep him from being fully submerged in the darkness... But you're running out of time... Inaxuma is severing Ikazuchi's old bonds in an attempt to sink him forever."
Clifton
"So... All I have to do is deal with Ina... Then I can get Ika back. If I keep trying, then I can get everyone who dies back, if what you're saying is true."

*Fiora could feel the despair in her heart ease just a little bit. She had a chance to make things right.*

"Where is he? Please tell me. I won't let you be all that's left."
Mabel
"I should warn you before I tell you where he is; Inaxuma is now extremely dangerous, moreso than ever before... Now that he possesses Ikazuchi's heart, he was able to forge the X-Blade... Albeit an incomplete version."

*The shadow's head would move, seemingly as if to look directly at Fiora.*

"But, if you are willing to take the risk, Inaxuma is currently located at the Keyblade graveyard... He is trying to summon Kingdom Hearts, but is yet unable to do so without full domination over Ikazuchi's heart."
Clifton
"I'll stop him. I swear I will! I don't care how strong he is. If I bring Ika back, Ina won't be able to win anymore and... And I'll be able to fix my mistakes..."

*The light in the area would dim to safer levels.*

"But first, I need to stop myself from killing Dado..."
Mabel
*The shadow moved a bit as the light lowered to safer levels, almost stepping up off the floor to meet eye to eye with fiora.*

"You have conviction, and I respect you for that. You would do anything for your friends, even if it meant risking yourself... A virtue and flaw in and of itself, one that our Beacon of Hope shared as well."

*Then, as he spoke, the shadow on the floor did actually move up off the floor. The darkness coalesced into the silhouette of a man, before it took shape and color into something familiar...*
Robert
*The pale man that stood before Fiora resembled that of a lost and broken friend... His face full of sorrow, stained by tears. He looked much older than Ikazuchi himself actually did.*

"Please take care of them... The Boy of the Storm trusts you a great deal, Fiora."
Derek
Fi:*Seeing this, Fiora began to tear up herself. Without thinking, she threw her arms around the being, beginning to cry.*

"I promise i'll fix this.."
Robert
*The supposed remainder of her friend pat her back in response to the hug.*

"You are brave Fiora. Remember that your allies will always be with you, no matter how far. You don't have to do this alone."

*His form would begin to dissipate. The light dimmed enough for him to manifest, but direct contact with the girl of light was too much for his form of darkness to keep up. He would stay as long as she wanted though.*
