Day 3
Whispers
Canterlot High School - Main Foyer
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Time: 8:13 AM
After having a good breakfast, sausage gravy and biscuits, courtesy of Principal Celestia, or to you, Mama Tia, you all made it to the school and entered the Main Foyer, where, coincidentally, Sunset Shimmer was waiting for you.
"Okay, Naxon," Celestia began, "we're going to head for our offices, Sunset Shimmer will kindly give you a tour around campus, then drop you off at your first class."
"Which reminds me, here's your schedule." Luna adds, handing you a piece of paper.
OBTAINED

A piece of paper filled from top to bottom with the classes you're supposed to attend and what time to be there.Miss Cheerilee: English - Room 103 (8:30 AM- 9:30 AM)

Final Bell (2:30)
After looking it over, you nod to your guardian before Celestia winked and said, "The free period was my idea, you can come see me or Vice Principal Luna during that time."
You nod again before turning your attention to Sunset, "So, Naxon," she began, "you ready to begin the tour?"
Once again, you nod and you two made your way through the halls, leaving the principals behind.
"Sister..."
"Yes, Luna?"
"I can't help but worry that the students will become very hostile towards Naxon due to his appearance and shaded background, I mean, take Miss Dash for example; she attacked him, believing he could be a possible threat, despite what everyone else says. If she can do that, who is to say any other suspicious student won't?"
Celestia sighs heavily, "...I'll admit, I'm worried, too. But Naxon will let us know if something happens, if he does, we'll take serious measures."
"Like what kind of 'serious measures'?"
Celestia smirks, "You'll see."
Canterlot High School - Hallways
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Time: 8:20 AM
Time slowly went by as Sunset showed you around the school, describing the classrooms when you didn't know what some them were. Soon, you two came up to a poster that read, "The Friendship Games" as the main font.
"Oh, yeah! The Friendship Games coming up again this year!" Sunset exclaims.
You raise an eyebrow.
"Oh...right," she blushes and rubs the back of the head, "I forgot you're still new here," she gets the heat in her cheeks under control and clears her throat, "well, the Friendship Games are a series of events that us, the Canterlot Wondercolts, and our rivals, the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts, compete in; these games were meant for all of us to get along, but Crystal Prep Academy always beat us. Always."
You pulled out your pen and paper,
Maybe there's something I can do to change that
Sunset went wide-eyed, "You want to compete in the Friendship Games?"
You nod.
"Well...okay, then. Let's just wait till your soccer tryouts, Spitfire will know if you're good enough to enter."
A long silence build between you two as you continued to walk the halls.
"Hey..." Sunset began, earning your attention, "I heard a rumor that...Rainbow attacked you yesterday."
You stopped in your tracks at the mention of Rainbow, the memories of yesterday flooding back to you like a blur.
"It's not true...is it?"
You silently sigh and write out your response,
Yes...it's true
Sunset gasps; how could Rainbow do such a thing? She couldn't believe that her friend would attack someone based on a gut feeling.
You write down anything that transpired between you and Rainbow, also adding how you didn't want her to get trouble, but you had no choice.
"Hi, Sunset! Hi, Naxy!" You two turn to the direction of the voice and see Pinkie waving her arms around as she joins you with the rest of the Rainbooms, minus Rainbow Dash.
"Uh, is somethin' wrong?" Applejack asks.
"Girls..." Sunset sighs, "the rumor about Rainbow is true."
They all gasp, compared to Sunset's, theirs is a little more overdramatic.
"How is that even possible?" Rarity asked.
"It wooould explain why Dashie's in detention right now." Pinkie adds.
"Hang on a sec, are ya tellin' th' truth, Naxon?" Applejack asked suspiciously as she walks up to you.
You give her the paper you wrote on that explains the previous day, she exchanges her gaze from the paper to you every few seconds, slightly unnerving you. Until she stops with a look of dread, which then changes to despair.
"He's tellin' th' truth," she says, defeated.
They all gasp even louder.
You start to panic,
I didn't mean to get her in trouble! I was put in a tough spot, and
"Naxon, it's okay!" Sunset said, halting your writing by grabbing your shoulder and massaging it to calm you down, "we'll talk to her about this later, and if it makes you feel better, we'll tell her that you feel terrible about what happened."
You were very hesitant, but after a while, you nodded to them.
(stop music)
BRRRRRRING!
"That's the first bell!" Rarity exclaims, "We MUST get to class!"
"You guys go ahead," Sunset says, "I'll escort Naxon to his first class, besides, he and I both have Miss Cheerilee this period."
"Okie Dokie Loki! See you later, Sunny and Naxy!" Pinkie cheerfully says as she bounces down the hall with the others.
You two made your way through the halls once more to find your first for the day. On the way, Sunset hands you a map of the school, saying that it's in case you ever get lost.
OBTAINED
Canterlot High School Map
A map to help you navigate Canterlot High School.
"Here it is!" Sunset declares as you two arrive, "Room 103! C'mon, Naxon!" You nod and follow her in.
Once inside, you noticed that nearly the entire class stopped any and all conversation they had when they saw you walk in. With an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach, you take a seat right next to Sunset's, knowing that she can help you out should things get hairy. The second bell rings, indicating the beginning of class and the beginning of the lectures and written tardy slips from your teacher.
"I do hope some of you will get better at being on time," she scolded, but brightened up as she official began teaching, "anyway, we have a new student joining us today, I heard from the principal herself, Naxon? Could you stand up and introduce yourself to the class?"
That feeling in your stomach grows stronger as you slowly stand up and write your introduction,
Hello, my name is Naxon, and I hope to get along with all of you
"Oh, that's right, Principal Celestia said you were a mute," she giggles softly, "nearly threw me for a loop there, well, let's get started," you took that as your chance to quickly sit back down, "if you could all get out your textbooks, we'll begin studying the riveting stories of Sherclop Pones and the author."
You realize you don't have a textbook and your eyes went wide in fear of what might happen if you don't have it.
"Psst!" You hear a voice hiss, you turn to see Sunset holding an open textbook, "We can share one for now, okay?" She whispers to you.
You gratefully nod as you scoot closer to Sunset's desk. The next thing you knew, you heard other hissing voices:
"Isn't that the guy who came during the storm?"
"That's gotta mean he's another magical monster or something!"
"Yeah! And that black coat's creepy, too!"
"Wonder if it's some sort of sign?"
The hissing voices are greatly upsetting you, and one look at Sunset shows that she senses your distraught. You clench your eyes shut and try to drown out the whispers by remembering the day you met...him.
Roxas...
The Castle That Never Was - Your Room
Time of Day: ???
Weather: ???
Time: ???
Days Passed By: 137
You continued to sit on your bed in your room after waiting one hundred-thirty days for Vexen to return like he said after giving you your "tune up" as he called it, mentioning something about taking over the Organization. You didn't understand what that meant; you never understood anything, there was no reason to, you were made to obey, nothing more, nothing less. You estimate at least three hours before you heard the door open, but it wasn't Vexen, not even Saïx or Xemnas, it was a boy that looked similar to you in height and weight, he was wearing the same black coat as you, with ocean blue eyes, and had golden brown hair that had a spiked tip at the front of his hairline.
"Hello?" He weakly greeted.
You remain silent.
"Who are you? Are you okay?" He asked.
You don't know how it happened, but a thought of how to communicate came to you; you picked up your "0"-marked diary and opened it to the back of the last page, grabbing a pen in the process. You began to write your response:
My name is Naxon, and I am as you say, "okay"
The newcomer appeared confused, "Okay...you can't speak?"
You shook your head left and right.
"Hmm...you kinda remind me of a friend of mine."
You tilt your head in confusion.
"A friend. You know, a person you spend time with?"
In that case, no, I do not have a "friend" as you call it
"Really?" He asked, and you nod, "Maybe WE could be friends. I'm Roxas."
It's an honor to meet you, Roxas
"Y'know...there's no need to be formal," he comments.
"Yo! Roxas, where are you!? We have a mission, remember!?"
Roxas jumps at the sudden loud voice, "Axel's looking for me, I gotta get going. I'll see you later, okay?"
You nod, and Roxas exited your room. But little did you know that that day was the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
"Naxon!"
(stop music)
You feel a jolt of surprise as the teacher's voice forces you out of reminiscing, making the students laugh quietly at the situation you're currently in.
"Are you alright? I was talking to you and you weren't answering, is something wrong?"
You give a sideways glance to Sunset and notice that she seems very worried about you, as if she knew something like this would happen. You recollect yourself and write with a slightly shaky hand,
I'm fine, really, I am, please continue
"Well..." Cheerilee looked unsure, "...okay then. Let's continue, shall we?"
As Miss Cheerilee went back to her lesson, the whispers started right back up, unsettling you once more, but Sunset rested her hand on your shoulder and slightly massaged it while flashing a reassuring smile. It was enough to get you through the lesson and both you and Sunset made your way to your guardian's office before the next class...
Canterlot High School - Principal Celestia's Office
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Cloudy
Time: 9:31 AM
Once inside, you and Sunset took your seats and the latter explained exactly what happened in first period, thankfully, Vice Principal Luna was conveniently delivering some papers to Celestia just before they came in, so she heard everything as well.
Celestia hummed, "I see...we had a feeling that Naxon would experience some trouble on his first day here, and I have a simple solution to this."
"You mean your, 'serious measures'?" Luna asked.
"Exactly. Sunset Shimmer," at the mention of her name, Sunset focused her full attention to her principal, "from here on out, you are to escort Naxon to all of his classes to ensure his safety from the more hostile students."
"You can count on me, Principal Celestia." Sunset said.
Luna looked at Celestia with slight annoyance, "That's your idea of 'serious measures'?"
"Well..." Celestia droned, "I was considering of using our positions as principal and vice principal to scare the students into leaving him alone, maybe even be his friend, but..." she looked down in shame, "I quickly banished the thought. It would be an abuse of our authority and a bad example for my new son and my sister's new nephew. So I decided something different, Sunset and her friends could help Naxon through his days at this school, and help the rest of the school open up to him and vice versa, especially Rainbow Dash."
"Don't worry," Sunset began, "the girls and I can handle this, right, Naxon?"
You didn't answer, you just sat with your head down, wondering why everyone's thoughts bothered you. You knew they all would be skeptical of you, it shouldn't bother you...
...So, why does it?
"Naxon?" You felt a hand on your shoulder, shaking you to get your attention, "Naxon, wake up."
"He's probably still upset." Celestia said, "Sunset, take very good care of him today."
Sunset nodded, eventually, she finally got you to snap out of it and took you to your next class, which ended just like the last, the same with lunch, third, and fourth period, all those times you felt like a machine; you were working, but your mind wasn't focused on any of the lessons, you were completely zoned out the whole day, much like your days with the Organization...locked in your room. No...your prison.
???
Darkness.
That's all you see.
But for some reason, you can see your own hand, maybe the rest of the world is darkness, but you're not?
Then you hear something.
Something that scares you to no end.
You can't make out what they're saying, but they're scaring you, making you put your head in your hands.
So you ran.
You ran and ran and ran.
Though they were quiet, to you, they felt like they were growing louder, even when they weren't.
Then they stopped.
(stop SFX)
You removed your hands from your head and looked up.
Someone stood before you.
Someone you know.
It was Sunset Shimmer.
And she doesn't look very happy.
"Liar." She muttered.
What?
"LIAR."
Oh no.
"LIAR!"
She knows. How did she know?
Tears formed in both yours and her eyes as screeched that same word again.
"LIAR!!!"
Your Home - Your Room
Time of Day: Late Night
Weather: Cloudy - 40% Chance of Rain
Time: 12:04 AM
You woke up with a start, forcing yourself into a sitting position, silently breathing heavily. You found your face dripping in cold sweat, looking around, you notice that you're in your room with Luna, who is sitting on the edge of your bed, rubbing your back to calm you down.
"It's okay, Naxon," she assured, "you were just having a bad dream."
You look at her with a horrified expression, continuing to hyperventilate as you unknowingly giving her your gratitude from your now relaxing muscles.
"What was it about, if you don't mind me asking?"
You look to your nightstand to find your pen and papers, pick them up, and write,
The whispers
You deliberately left out the part with Sunset, knowing the reason for that.
Luna was a little surprised by your response, but regained her bearings and began stroking your hair, "It's going to be okay, Naxon. If it'll make you feel better, I'll stay with you until you fall asleep."
You wrote with a hopeful look,
Really?
Luna smiled, "Yes."

A power that can only be used with Lunatic; randomly inflicts Silence upon your opponents, which prevents them from using magic.
With your new aunt's comforting words, you lay back down onto your bed when you hear the pitter-patter of rain on your window. Strangely, the sound, along with Luna's soft hand continuously stroking your slightly sweat-matted hair, was able to lull you to sleep. No nightmares overtook you this time...
Day 4
In the morning, Luna explained what happened last night to Celestia, after hearing what she had to say, the new mother made her decision.
"That's it, we're taking a family day." Celestia said with finality in her tone, "I'll have someone watch over the school while we're gone. Go wake up Naxon, we're going to the beach."
Later that day, they all did indeed head to the beach, where it was raining last night, it was bright and sunny today. Celestia gave you a pair of denim blue swim trunks that she had as a spare when one of her male visiting family members forgot to bring theirs.
OBTAINED

As time went by, you noticed that Sunset Shimmer has arrived, but wearing her usual clothes, asking where you all have been, and Celestia explained the situation.
Guess school must be over today already, you thought, man, time flies.
For the remainder of the day, you and Sunset talk—you with your papers, of course—about quite a few things; what happened in school today, Rainbow's detention, the Rainbooms, and even your nightmare, which Sunset gave you her condolences. After Sunset headed home, Celestia and Luna decided for you all to do so as well.

Day 5
You returned to school and followed your usual schedule, but Sunset escorted you to all of your classes, mainly in silence.
Good thing Principal Celestia put us both in all the same classes, Sunset thought.
This time, with Sunset's help, you were able to ignore the whispers of the other students and focus on the lessons in your classes.
The rest of the day is uneventful...
Day 6
Another day of school, and Sunset is walking with you again, only now, you two are making conversation. The students seem to be paying less attention to you today, more so when you and Sunset head for the school's amphitheater for band practice, after your stunt four days ago, you don't plan to play guitar again anytime soon. After practice, Sunset walks you home, and Celestia offers her to stay for dinner, which she obliges. Celestia and Luna made spaghetti and meatballs, enough to fill the four of you up. During dinner, you finish off the fizzy apple cider you started to drink the day of your welcome party, then you all make small talk until it gets late, and Sunset takes her leave.
As you prepare for bed, you can't help but feel that you and Sunset are about to become closer than ever before.
Much like you and...Roxas.

Nice chapter.
I really liked the scene with Roxas. Will we be seeing more of him in flashbacks?
6305569 Thanks
6305581 Eeyup
Awesome as usual Golden Flare. Can't wait for more of this.
6305631 Thanks
YAY!! An update! Really enjoyed the chapter! Especially the scenes with the nightmare (total suspense there) and Roxas scene! The music fit very well too! Will we be seeing more of Roxas in future flashbacks and see what it was like for Naxon to have a friend?
Please, please, please update soon!
6305689 Glad you enjoyed it and yes, there'll be more flashbacks with Roxas and Naxon
To those who don't know, the anagram of Naxon without the X is Anon.
6305744 SWEET! That reminds me....I wonder why Roxas was in Naxon's "prison" in the first place??? Wandered off maybe? Hmm...
6305765 Exactly, he wandered off and discovered it by accident
A new one, yus and two more abilities as well as a weapon, say when will we see some nobody fights, when Naxon gets more weapons??
You just made my day.
6305813 I see!
6305992 Only time will tell
6306036 I'm glad I did
6306248 Eeyup
6306272 By the by...do you know when you'll update next?
6305992 Only time will tell
6306036 I'm glad I did
6306248 Eeyup
6306276 After the next chapter of KH:PTS
6306282 Sounds good!
Have him Z Link Big Mac!
A better Lexaeus, there is not!
6305992
I'm guessing someone will act hostile to Sunset and Naxon will go on auto-pilot. At this time he probably wouldn't pull out his weapons till the odds became unfair. But that's just a guess.
Why hasn't Naxon Z-Linked with Sunset yet? There were plenty of moments for it to happen.
6306783 Actually, I already thought of who the Lexaeus Z-Link (A.K.A. Z-Link No. V) will be: Applejack
6306875 That'll most likely happen, when the Z-Links make it pass the halfway mark (Lv. 10), the struggles with Naxon's friends will be a lot harder
6307392 It'll happen soon, I want to make it a special moment for the Z-Link to be forged
6307592 AJ is more of Luxord's build, in comparison
6307704 I know, but I'm trying to focus on the elemental attributes of the Human Mane 6
6307731 ...That really only furthers my arguments.
6307756 Sorry, man
Naxon needs to go shopping with Rarity. So he will look less intimidated to the other students. He can't keep carrying his black coat.
6308175 He will in the next few updates, give it time
the next is the day 7,i bet there would be something special,like in KH 358/2 Days,the game beging in the seventh day
6308201 hmm,ya now bro,maybe you should give hive a cloathing similar to Roxas,just an idea
6309518 I already planned out his clothing
6309575 well whatever they are i kwon they be cool :D
6309575 they will find him. When the time comes they'll see he is with CHS not with them. When will he use his weapons and magic? Don't tell me he'll use his fire magic for BBQ.
I cant wait for naxon to do battle it going to be some awesome?
6316212 Eeyup
they'll find him by tracing the data inside him. And when he uses his weapons and magic?
Well, I've spoiled enough already
Poor naxon :(
6316569
Quick question. Since this takes place after KH2, is this running with RE: Coded or DDD?
6323254 this leads up to dream drop distance since that takes place a year after kingdom hearts 2
6323266
I see. So that means Xehanort is going to be after him, correct?
6323296 he will be soon but i'm not going to tell you which day
6323302
That's all need to know.
6323266 uuh,no,KH3DDD doesn't take place a year after KH2,wo said that? it most likely take place about not much time,maybe right after KH:RE Coded,that take place a little time after KH2
6334988 yeah it does dream drop distance takes place after the secret ending of birth by sleep which according to ansem the wise takes place a year after KH2 look it up
6335176 no,Ansem said he knows Sora since a year,it means he knows Sora since the time he was sleep,a year ago(358/2 Days),and plus i read information that in KH3DDD Sora it's 15 years old and Riku it's 16,the same age that KH2
6336190 except ansem the wise and sora never officially met in person until the end of kingdom hearts 2 in the world that never was before he got sent to the realm of darkness and i looked it up and dream drop distance didn't take place until 12 years after birth by sleep and sora was 4 during that game
6336210 but that doesn't matter and i think Ansem didn't mean when he and Sora oficially met, i read the info of DDD and it saids that Riku and Sora still of the same age of KH2,you should check the KH wiki
6336272 whatever point is this story will lead up to dream drop distance okay
6336416 hmp,yeah,but i fear for Naxon,Xehanort could use him,this means that someone as to interving to defend him
Is the Organization and the Heartless will find Naxon?
6336424
Mayhaps someone with a keyblade could be of assistance?
