Chapter 9: Shattered

Synopsis
Roxas is running towards the Old Mansion, recalling the words that DiZ and Axel told him, while fighting the white creatures. He reaches the mansion gate, but finds himself locked out. The man in black appears and fends off the creatures as the Keyblade unlocks the gate, to Roxas's surprise.

Roxas enters the mansion, but no one was there to greet him. He heads upstairs and enters the white room, where he remembers leaving Organization XIII, where he tells Axel that his mind is made up. A digital version of Naminé appears, telling Roxas to go and wake Sora up. DiZ then appears, and orders Roxas to go to the Library, while he deletes the digital Naminé, despite the teenager's protests. The real Naminé appears, and informs Roxas that he won't disappear, but will be whole. DiZ then captures her and locks her, bound and gagged, inside a broom closet.

DiZ is furious with his apprentice for not executing Naminé, who simply tells him to do the deed himself. The man in black then informs DiZ that there are too many Nobodies around. But they were too late. "How wonderful it is... the prelude to my revenge", says DiZ.

Meanwhile, Roxas is in the library, where he find a cellar to a computer room. He soon passes out and regains his lost memories of his time in Organization XIII, recalling a man he battled in the streets of The World That Never Was. It turns out Roxas was captured and put into a computer world by DiZ to live out his days until it was time to wake Sora up. Upon coming to, Roxas destroys the fake computer in rage, and recalls the day he was created.
