What's this? A piece of DiZ's machine? He did say that anything could happen, but...

Well, WHAT happened? Did I just blow up too? I've got my true form back... and I can't open paths!

What's going on?! Where am I?

[obliviomancy]

You're in the City. ... What do you mean, paths?

[darkshield]

Roxas. I thought you... nevermind.

Paths. Portals. I don't belong to the realm of darkness anymore.

[obliviomancy]

You thought I -- what?

[darkshield]

Nothing. I just wasn't expecting to see you... around.

[obliviomancy]

...

Great. Someone else from that future.

[darkshield]

So you met Sora. Can't say I'm happy with how everything turned out either.

[obliviomancy]

You mean how I didn't disappear? Too bad.

[darkshield]

You weren't meant to disappear, like all the others. You're a part of Sora. DiZ-- Ansem the Wise... was wrong about many things.

Guess I should apologize, too. But I had to do what I did. For Sora.

[obliviomancy]

Yeah, well, looks like that's not true here. So it doesn't matter.

... What exactly did you do?

[darkshield]

... what's the last thing you did before you ended up here?

[obliviomancy]

I asked first.

[darkshield]

Hm. I used you. Twilight Town, does that ring a bell?

[obliviomancy]

Not for anything related to you.

[darkshield]

No, of course not. That's all I wanted to know.

[obliviomancy]

Why?

[darkshield]

Does it really matter? Look where we are. We don't even know what we're dealing with, and keyblades could be useless for all we know. The past's meaningless now.
