Arkyron and Crystal were the first through the portal. Once they were, they stopped and waited for Hikari. "Okay, so tell me again why we're here?" Arkyron asked, not aware he was being rude.
Meanwhile, on the fourth floor, Xaynkror sensed him. 'Arkyron... Why are you here?' he wondered. At this, he opened a dark portal and went into the main hall, where Arkyron and the others were. "Tell me, what brings you here at this time?" he asked, his hood up and arms crossed.

Hikari came out of the portal. She looked at Xaynkror. "He's lost his memories... We're hoping Castle Oblivion might help restore them.." She explained to him.

Xaynkror stood motionless. "I see..." he replied. "There's only one way for them to be restored." At this, he summoned Aerax and flight to his hands. "And I think you know what it is." He then took down his hood, revealing who he was. However, he made a barrier behind Arkyron, preventing any interference. "It's time to find out who the stronger half is."

Hikari watched. "And this helps..... How?" She asked. Now slightly confused. But she couldn't interfere.

Arkyron was more confused, but he got the message. This guy wanted a fight, and it was a fight he would get. Drawing Fate's Crossing and Decision, he leapt at his foe. Xaynkror easily countered, knocking him into a wall. Xaynkror then went for a kick to his chest. The blow landed, knocking the wind out of Arkyron. Struggling to regain his composure, Arkyron launched a gale at Xaynkror. It landed its mark, and he was thrown into the opposite wall. It was all Crystal could do to sit and watch, horrified and shocked. "Wha... He... He looks like... Arkyron... But... Why? What's going on, Hikari?" she asked, trying to understand.

Hikari quietly watched the fight. She looked over at Crystal. "He's Arkyron's nobody..." She said quietly.

Arkyron and Xaynkror's battle waged on, neither one seeming to gain any ground. "What did you mean by stronger half!?" demanded Arkyron. Xaynkror continued to press the attack. "You really don't remember, do you? I'm you," he said.
Crystal was shocked. "His... Nobody? When did he become a heartless? And if he did, how is he here now?" she asked, confused.

Hikari watched them and then looked back at Crystal. "The reason he's still here.." She said quietly, she pulled the medallion out from under her closed jacket and showed it to Crystal. "Might not explain well to Arkyron it had made sense.."

Xaynkror leaped into the air. His blades and Arkyron's repeatedly met, neither gaining ground yet. Then, Arkyron sumersaulted through the air, and pinned Xaynkror to the ground, then lept off of him. Xaynkror got back up, a slight pang of pain in his left rib cage. Arkyron was slowly gaining the upper hand.
Crystal just watched helplessly.

Hikari watched quietly. Not sure what she would do. How did this help? She had no clue. But it seemed Xaynkror knew what he was doing. She just had to trust that.

Xaynkror enshrouded the room in a whirlwind. It was so fierce, visibility was reduced. He jumped outside of it, watching Arkyron. Though Arkyron was aware of this, Xaynkror managed to sneak in several blows by darting in and out of the vortex. Then, finally Arkyron read his movements. He leapt to the side as Xaynkror made another attempt at striking him, then he threw Fate's Crossing. Twirling through the air, it struck Xaynkror in his already injured left rib cage. Fate's Crossing also whipped up a small vortex as it hit, propelling Xaynkror into the air. Arkyron then seized the opportunity to leap up, then slammed him into the ground with fierce impact. The whirlwind dissipated, revealing the defeated Xaynkror. It was over. Xaynkror was down on one knee, gasping for breath.
Crystal watched, not completely understanding. Then, thinking about what Xaynkror said at the start of the battle, she finally realized what this battle was really about. Whoever won would inherit the complete power of both, and the other would cease to exist.

Hikari had started to realise that too. She looked down and clutched the medallion a moment. She knew it wouldn't be fair to Xaynkror in a couple ways, but she was praying.

Arkyron simply stood straight, looking Xaynkror in the eyes. He then reached his hand out to him. "It's over," he said. "So it is..." Xaynkror replied, taking his hand. Then, there was a bright flash, and Xaynkror was gone. Now Arkyron stood alone in the center of the room. He then started to look around. He was himself again. "Castle Oblivion...!? How'd I get here? I was fighting Martieve, and then... It goes blank..." he thought aloud, unaware that Hikari and his sister were behind him.
Crystal then ran to her brother, embracing him snuggly. "It was horrible brother... You'd forgotten everything... Even me and Hikari..." she said, crying tears of joy. They simply held each other, together again as family should be.

Hikari watched quietly, unluchted the medallion. Was relieved he was back to his old self now. "So I'm guessing that Martieve guy was the one who was controlling you.." She said, folding arms, tapping foot.

Arkyron then released his sister to see Hikari impatiently tapping her foot, arms crossed. He then walked over to her, pulled her close, and kissed her. "I missed you too," he said, teasing her.
Crystal just sat there watching. It made her think of a certain someone back in Twilight Town...

"I had a lot of fun outsmarting that Martieve guy!" She said hugging him back. "Or at least I think he was controlling you.."

He just stood there, holding her close. "He very well may have been," he replied. "Something tells me it's because of you that I'm back to normal though." At this, he just grinned at her.
Crystal was growing slightly impatient now, but also slightly jealous. "Hey, love birds, before you get too involved, can we go someplace else?" she asked, teasing obviously.

She looked at Crystal and laughed nervously scratching the back of her head. "Yeah, we probably should... and we should call a few repairmen for Hallow Bastion.. Heh.." She said, laughing nervously.

Arkyron just laughed normally, smiling as if he never had. "I'll open the way," he said, then focused. A few moments later, a dark portal appeared in front of them. "I think we have some reconstruction to do." At that, he walked through, waiting for them on the other side.
Crystal followed close behind, laughing like a little kid as her hair blew in the wind.

Hikari took one last look at castle oblivion before running through the portal.
