Roxas: Difference between revisions

Roxas was born in [[Twilight Town]] and soon discovered by Xemnas, who gave him his name. Having nowhere else to go, Roxas joins the Organization in hopes of finding the answers he needs. Axel took a liking to Roxas and ate [[Sea-salt ice cream]] with him on his first day. On Roxas's fifth day, Xemnas places Roxas under [[Axel]]'s watch, and the two soon become best friends. When he visits Twilight Town, sometimes Roxas catches sight of three regular kids: Hayner, Pence, and [[Olette]], and wishes to befriend them.

When Axel is sent to [[Castle Oblivion]] to interfere in [[Marluxia]]'s plans to control Sora and overthrow the organization, Roxas is placed in charge of [[Xion]], the newest member of the Organization and a girl about the same (physical) age as him. Though emotionally distant at first, Xion soon opens up to Roxas, revealing to him that she can wield a Keyblade, and the two become close friends. Roxas falls into a coma for several weeks, linked to Sora being placed in suspended animation by [[Naminé]]. After awakening, Roxas attempts to spend time with Axel and Xion, but he begins to react to the process of Sora's memory restoration by having strange dreams and visions; he also begins to question why he wields the Keyblade and doubt the Organization's motives.

As he spends more time with the Organization, Roxas grows increasingly impatient towards his unanswered questions. Meanwhile, he still works actively to help the Organization in their plan to complete Kingdom Hearts, using the Keyblade to release the Heartless' hearts. However, Xion, seeking answers to her own questions, departs the Organization to find herself. Roxas and Axel try and find her, and eventually convince her to return. It isn't long however, before Xion leaves again, trying to return to Sora. Roxas then finds out that Xion was a Replica, and not a true member of the Organization. He also learns that Axel knew about this for a while, which leads him to be hurt. Roxas begs Axel to answer his questions about who he is, but Axel refuses, telling Roxas to trust him. Angry and lonely, Roxas follows Xion's example and runs from the Organization himself. On his way, he runs into Saïx, whom he defeats. Roxas is then intercepted by Axel, who attempts to persuade him to stay, warning him that the Organization would destroy him due to his betrayal. However, Roxas remains indifferent, saying "No one would miss me", and continues on his way.

The next day, Roxas, while searching Twilight Town, encounters Xion, who has discovered the truth behind her own birth, and has been reprogrammed by Xemnas. Roxas is shocked to discover that Xion has taken on the appearance of his past self, and even more so when he discovers that Xion desires to become the 'real' Sora, and wants to absorb Roxas to fufill the reason she was created. This is soon revealed to be nothing but a ruse, in connection to her thoughts by her Secret Reports. She is aware that they cannot coexist, that Roxas was in danger if so, and decided to willingly disappear, and not let Xemnas succeed: a fact that she states when she later fades away.  

Knowing that Roxas would not be able to eliminate her (and Axel had admitted that he could not either in his own Secret Report), she forces Roxas to fight her instead. Xion then transforms into a giant armored monster at the ready. After a long and grueling battle, Roxas defeats Xion, who regains her original appearance. Roxas, however, loses all of his memories of Xion after the battle. In her final moments, she informs Roxas of the true colors of the Organization, tells him that she is glad they were friends and pleads with him not to let Xemnas use Kingdom Hearts before dying peacefully in his arms. At this moment, Roxas remembers Xion, but he is too late. Saddened, Roxas holds Xion's essence and degenerating crystallized body until she is completely gone, leaving behind a seashell on the ground, as he spills tears.

This marks the start of where he gains his signature ability to dual-wield, as he awakens Ventus's Keyblade after Xion's demise. The first time he uses them, they are both Kingdom Keys, his and Ventus's, which quickly transform into the [[Oathkeeper & Oblivion|Oathkeeper and Oblivion]].
