Chapter 9: Shattered

Synopsis
Roxas heads to the Old Mansion, recalling the words that DiZ and Axel told him, while running from Dusks. He reaches the mansion gate, but finds it still locked. The man in black appears and fends off the creatures while the Keyblade automatically unlocks the gate, much to Roxas's surprise.

Roxas enters the mansion, heading upstairs. There, he enters a room, finding it is the room Naminé held her drawings. The sketches trigger Roxas's memory, releasing a rush of memories. Roxas remembers leaving Organization XIII, and his short meeting with Axel. A digital version of Naminé appears, telling Roxas to go and wake Sora up. DiZ suddenly appears, ordering Roxas to go to the Library. DiZ deletes the digital Naminé, stating he will answer any questions Roxas has. The real Naminé appears from a black portal, informing Roxas that he won't disappear, but will be made whole. DiZ captures Naminé and locks her away.

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 in the digital Twilight Town. DiZ grins, claiming the Organization is too late. Pushing a button on his computer, DiZ successfully removes the Nobodies in the town.

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. Roxas learns that he was captured and put into a computer world by DiZ to live out his days until it was time to awaken Sora. Upon coming to, Roxas destroys the fake computer in rage, and recalls the day he was created.
