Season #spring

(Setzer holds up the championship belt)

Announcer:
It won't be long now, folks. I suggest our challengers go over the

official Struggle Rules before we begin!

(The challengers have a quick refresher of the rules. The tournament producer

hands Roxas and Hayner each a battle sword and pats them on the shoulder.

Hayner points the sword at Roxas, who looks unhappy)

Roxas:
Hey... Sorry about yesterday.

Hayner:
What, you still worried about that? You need to learn to let that stuff

go.

Roxas:
I've got a lot on my mind.

Hayner:
Sorry, man.

(Roxas shakes his head)

Hayner:
Wait, what am I sorry for?

(He smiles, making Roxas smile as well. Olette and Pence stop their clapping to

smirk at each other. Roxas readies for battle)

Announcer:
Our first match of today's Struggle tournament will be between Roxas

and his best friend Hayner!

Hayner:
Ready, Roxas?

(Roxas and Hayner battle it out and Hayner loses)

Announcer:
And the winner is Roxas!

(The announcer raises Roxas's arm and Roxas waves to the crowd)

Announcer:
Not even friendship will slow this kid down. And Hayner put up a

great fight, too.

(Roxas runs over to Hayner)

Hayner:
I lost. Awww, I can't believe it!

(Hayner stands up)

Hayner:
I guess I taught you well.

Roxas:
I had a lot of fun fighting you.

(Hayner smiles, then stops and crosses his arms)

Hayner:
Yeah, well I didn't, wise guy.

Roxas:
Hey, let's find a way to cheer you up.

Hayner:
Nah, that's all right.

(Hayner friendly punches Roxas's hand. He leaves and almost walks into Seifer

coming up on stage)

Seifer:
Out of the way.

Hayner:
You in a rush to lose?

(Roxas is startled by the sudden appearance of Vivi by his side. Vivi looks up

at him and giggles. Vivi and Seifer are alone on the stage)

Seifer:
Don't mess with your elders.

Announcer:
Whew, just look at those sparks fly! I guess Seifer didn't expect to

fight one of his own boys!

(Seifer and Vivi face each other down. Then Vivi flies at Seifer, who jumps

away with Vivi in pursuit)

Hayner:
When did Vivi get so tough?

(Roxas shrugs. After a few attempts at hitting one another, Seifer blocks

Vivi's slashes and knocks Vivi away, dropping one of Vivi's orbs)

Seifer:
You're mine!

(He lunges for the orb when Vivi returns and knocks Seifer down)

Announcer:
I-I'm not sure what just happened... Um...but...the winner is Vivi!

In a positively blistering comeback!

(Seifer sits up and shakes his head)

Seifer:
That's not Vivi.

Roxas:
Huh?

Seifer:
Thrash 'im.

(Seifer, Fuu, and Rai leave the Sandlot)

Producer:
It looks like Seifer's withdrawn from the Struggle for third place.

Hayner:
So I'm in third now? Aw, baby!

(The producer hands Roxas and Vivi each a battle sword)

Producer:
Keep it clean, fellas.

(Roxas and Vivi stare each other down as the Producer leaves the stage)

Announcer:
And now, the match you've been waiting for: Roxas vs. Vivi!

(Roxas battles Vivi. As he goes in for one last strike, something stops him and

Roxas notices that everything has frozen in time. Vivi suddenly turns into a

Dusk, then more appear)

Roxas:
Again!?

(His sword turns into the Keyblade)

Roxas:
Again...

(Roxas fights the Dusks and wins, though he's tired. He's alerted by a cloaked

man clapping behind him and turns around)

????:
Roxas. All right. Fight fight fight.

(The man walks in closer to Roxas)

????:
You really don't remember? It's me. You know, Axel.

(The man removes his hood, showing his flaming red hair)

Roxas:
Axel?

Axel:
Talk about blank with a capital "B." Man oh man, even the Dusks aren't

gonna crack this one.

(His chakram appear in flames and he catches them in his hands)

Roxas:
Wait a sec, tell me what's going on!

Axel (looking around): This town is his creation, right? Which means we don't

have time for a Q & A. You're coming with me, conscious or not. Then you'll

hear the story.

(Axel gets ready to fight. A strange presence flies around Roxas. Axel

straightens up)

Axel:
Uh-oh.

(Roxas sighs and looks at the Keyblade. He throws it down in frustration)

Roxas:
What's going ON!?

(The Keyblade appears back in his hand with a flash of light)

Axel:
Number 13. Roxas. The Keyblade's chosen one.

(Axel readies to fight again)

Roxas:
Okay, fine! You asked for it!

Axel:
That's more like it!

(Roxas fights Axel)

Axel:
Not bad, Roxas.

(DiZ appears)

Axel:
So it was you.

(Axel sends his flaming chakram flying at DiZ, but with no impact)

DiZ:
Roxas, this man speaks nonsense!

Axel:
Roxas, don't let him deceive you!

DiZ:
Roxas!

Axel:
Roxas!

(The two men shouting his name get the best of him and Roxas holds his head in

his hands)

Roxas:
Hayner...Pence...Olette... Hayner! Pence! Olette!

(The Struggle competition returns and the crowd is cheering once again at

Roxas's defeat against Vivi)

Announcer:
What? What just happened?

Vivi:
Huh? ...How did I get here?

(Hayner, Olette, and Pence rush the stage)

Olette:
Roxas!

Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen, Roxas--our new top Struggler!

(Hayner notices Roxas's a little distraught)

Hayner:
Roxas?

Fans:
Setzeerrrr!

Crowd:
Setzer! Setzer! Setzer! Setzer! Setzer!

(Setzer drinks up the attention)

Olette:
Roxas! It's starting!

Producer:
You two, play fair now. You're at the top of the bracket.

Setzer:
There's only room for one up here.

Producer:
Well, may the best man win!

(The producer walks offstage)

Setzer:
Hey, Rucksack. How about you throw the match for me?

Hayner:
Roxas! Focus!

(Roxas glares at Setzer)

Setzer:
Let me win, and I'll make it worth your while.

Roxas:
Get real!

Announcer:
Roxas, our underdog hero, versus Setzer, our defending champion! The

winner of this match will be the true champion! That's bragging rights for a

whole year, folks!

Setzer:
Whatever you think is right, you're wrong. And that is a big mistake.

My life's a chip in your pile. Time to ante up!

(Roxas beats Setzer)

Setzer:
I'm not supposed to lose!

Crowd:
Roxas! Roxas! Roxas! Roxas! Roxas!

(Setzer walks offstage and points back to Roxas. Hayner, Pence, and Olette rush

up to Roxas)

Hayner:
Roxas!

Olette:
You did it!

(Setzer turns around and leaves)

Pence:
That was awesome, Roxas!

(Roxas waves to the crowd. The producer presents him with the championship

belt. Roxas holds it up and the crowd cheers. Later, on the ledge of the train

station, Roxas sits with his friends, holding the crystal trophy. He takes off

the yellow crystal and tosses it to Olette. He does the same with the red and

green crystals, tossing them to Hayner and Pence. He takes out his own blue one

and holds it up to the sun)

Roxas:
As promised.

(Pence also holds his out)

Pence:
Thanks a ton, Roxas!

Hayner:
One more treasure for us to share.

(Hayner holds his out. Olette follows suit)

Olette:
I've got a present, too...for all of us.

(She takes out four bars of sea-salt ice cream)

Hayner:
Whoa!

(Roxas stands up on the ledge and teeters on the edge. He loses his balance and

falls as the screen flickers. On the Destiny Islands, Kairi walks down the path

to the beach after school.)
