[SIZE="6"]~Xion Secret~[/SIZE]


Impression:

The 14th collapses in pain, she is holding the Kingdom Key.
Riku closes in on her and lifts her hood, she resists.
He lifts one eye of the blindfold to see her face.
Riku's expression changes to surprise.
Riku: "Who are you? Why do you have the keyblade?"
14th: "Why are you dressed like a member of the Organization?"
Riku walks away from her, towards the castle.
Riku: "So no one interferes with Sora's sleep."
Her keyblade is sticking out of the ground.
Riku picks it up and hurls it toward her.
Riku: "What you have... That keyblade must be a fake."
14th: "Don't tell me that! You're deceiving too!"
Riku: "Indeed, maybe I'm the one who doesn't exist."

Xion flees. Riku does not look like Ansem yet.

In front of the Twilight Town mansion.
The 14th member's keyblade is shown for a second.
Her hood is obstructed, and her face flashes for a moment.
Her hair color is dark blue.
It looks like the hair of Aqua.
Axel: "You're gotta be kidding! Don't make a fool out of me."
The 14th member turns to yell at Axel.
Appearing in his hands are his chakrams covered in fire.
Axel and the 14th are confronting one another.
Axel: "I've decided. No matter how many times you escape, I will bring you back."

Now rumors are going around saying that Xion is Kairi's nobdy, because Sora sponded one. Thus it's unclear to if that's true. But apparently, it seems like Xion maybe more connected to Sora memories, this is why there leaking out.

But hopefully more news will shine on Xion. Also she wields the Kingdom Keyblade. How is she able to, when Roxas is wielding it. Unknown, thus in one of the scans, it features Xion using Magic. This also can relate to if she's Aqua Nobody. Aqua only used magic when she fights, thus these are all theories, so don't take these's so harsh.

cool thanks for the previous info, you will be updating this right?

nice article, yea sora she'll be updating this, seeing as it'll take time to put it all together with Roxas and xion story.

I've always wonder why they made the stop map on the DS soo confusing. DX it's so small to see the red dot where you are in the town.
