Corbax blinked as Yin spoke from the circle embbedded on his hand.
It is possible, but there will be a possibility that you will be trapped within Corbax the moment you recieve your heart. WHen a Nobody attains their heart, their body returns on the spot... meaning that if you were to take the heart within here, you would most likely be trapped. If your being is strong, you may be able to escape from the sealing of light before you're trapped. That's my only deduction, since this has only ever happened this one time.."
Corbax nodded, "It seems risky..." he muttered, "Will you... go with it?"

Naxus looked at his hands. "I don't feel complete without my heart. I don't like being a Nobody. If I can get my heart back, I will. Am I going to have to fight for it, Spirit Yin?"
Before she could answer, he held out his hand, summoning Dusks outside. I want you all to patrol the area around the library and destroy any Heartless that attempt to come inside. We can't be interrupted.
As you command, my liege, said one of them as they started to patrol.
But make sure you don't get spotted! Naxus clenched his fists and his shield appeared, but it looked strange. It looked more sinister, the non-reflective metal having turned a darker color. "I'm ready. Whatever happens... if I'm trapped in there... it'll be my fault, all right?"

Corbax looked to the white marking on the back of his hand. The mark began to radiate, before it grew out, expanding into what looked like a portal. Corbax winced, "Alright... go in." he grunted as the portal slowly began to close, "I can't hold this for long..."

Naxus briefly laid a hand on Corbax's shoulder. "It'll be fine." And then he smiled before he went into the portal.
He felt himself fall and land with a hard thunk on a smooth, yet irregular, surface. He gingerly got up, looking around. Everything was white. Beneath him laid a beautiful stained-glass platform, with two Setsuna patterns on it - but one was obviously Naxus wearing an Organization cloak. The chain-shields were intertwined, but the glass Setsuna looked like he was sleeping, and the glass Nexus was reaching for something. Above him was a shining heart and beyond that, a white wolf. It was an incredible mosaic, and he wished he could look around for longer, but he merely summoned his shield and called out, "Whosoever holds my heart, heed my call and give it back!"

The white wolf leapet up, taking the heart with her, landing before NAxus. Her mass was huge compared to Naxus, but her physique was lean and powerful. A single black spot remained on her forehead, making her stand out from the white in the background.
I see you wish for this to pass quickly. She said, But alas, this process will not be as easy as you think. The heart began to float down in front of Naxus, slowly forming into Setsuna's body before his eyes. You'll know what to do.
Meanwhile, Corbax struggled to keep the portal wide enough for Naxus or Setsuna to return. It was proving difficult for him as the portal continued to slowly close...

Naxus looked at his other, nodding before walking right into his other's body. To his surprise, he disappeared for a few seconds. He lost all awareness. But then he found himself on another platform, facing someone.
This person seemed to be made out of darkness, with glowing yellow eyes, and it had a dark version of Setsuna's/Naxus's shield equipped. It spoke. You want your heart back? You'll have to take it from me!
In answer, Naxus leapt forward with his shield, striking in a whistling overhanded blow, which was blocked with the other shield, pushing him back. The Shadow-Naxus launched the shield forward, hitting Naxus in the chest and winding him. Naxus countered by slamming both shields down, letting go of his, before pushing off of them and launching straight at Shadow-Naxus's face, punching straight through it. Is dissipated and a radiant light burst forth, blinding Naxus and causing searing pain that made Naxus curl up into the fetal position, whimpering. It seemed to go on for hours... and then he felt himself back with Yin. He got up gingerly, feeling different - feeling whole. "I'm... I'm me again... I'm Setsuna again, but how do I get out of here? I could end up sealed inside Corbax forever..."

Yin looked up. THere above them was a hole that was slowly closing. From the looks of it, Setsuna had just enough time too make it through... but how would he get up there?
Yin suddenly ducked her head underneath Setsuna's legs, using her snout to lift Setsuna up ever so slightly, This might feel uncomfortable and frightening... she warned, But this is the best way of getting you out. With that, she swung her head down, before swinging it back up, forcefully sending Setsuna into the air towards the closing portal, small enough that Setsuna's shoulders could get through.

Setsuna yelped a bit as he was launched upwards through the portal - and became stuck. "C'mon, c'mon..." he wriggled his way forward, it becoming extremely painful for him with every inch he gained.
But eventually, he managed to slide out onto the library floor, the portal closing up behind him. He dusted himself off, looking at himself. "I'm me again... I'm not Naxus anymore... are you all right, Corbax?"

Corbax had collapsed on the ground the moment Setsuna returned. He growled childishly, the memories of his other speaking for him, "Yeah, i'm just peachy! I just can't move anything!" He snorted, his own mind returning to him, sighing, "And are you okay?"

Setsuna looked taken aback and helped Corbax up. "You know, there's a cafe close by where I drink coffee... it might perk you up after all this. C'mon, let's go." He draped one of Corbax's arms over his shoulder and looked at him. "You might want to ditch the cloak, though. Hold on a minute..." using another hand, he searched behind the desk, coming up with a worn backpack. "Here we go. You can fold up the cloak and put it inside. I assume you're wearing something underneath it?"

"I am..." he grunted, attempting to remove his jaket, but his left arm couldn't move properly, having being induced to such a strong force. He attempted to stuff his cloak in his bag, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, random chains and pockets about the pant legs... but that was proving to be difficult, seeing how whenever he tried to shove the cloak in the bag, the bag would collapse and he'd have to start over again. It would have been easier to have another hand to put it in... "I can't put the cloak in the bag..." he finally grumbled embarrassed, "Maybe... you could help me?"

Setsuna took the cloak from him, folded it up neatly, and put it inside the bag, giving it to Corbax. "That cloak would make you stand out like a sore thumb. Better if you wear just those. So, Corbax..." he opened the doors to the library and closed them, locking them once they were out. "What world do you originally come from? Oh! Wait a minute." He unlocked the doors, rushing inside and then coming back out with a thick book that seemed to shine unnaturally with an inner light. "Yen Sid's book." He put it into the backpack as well, making it bulge out a bit. "I'll carry that. And here, take this." He passed Corbax a Potion, he taking the backpack in return. "Anyway, this cafe is called the Daybreak Cafe. Really nice place." He started to walk.

(OOC: This needs to continue. It just does.)
As the days passed and Setsuna resumed his normal life, he became aware of the fact that something was wrong. He'd have periods where he felt like a Nobody again, only to regain his true self.
During the "Nobody" periods, he found he could summon Dusks and a form of Nobody that he called "Illusions". These Nobodies had normal human figures except they were "clothed" like the Dusks. They were much stronger than Dusks though. This disturbed him - he wasn't a Nobody, but maybe he had only gotten part of his heart back. That Heartless had been holding it for a while...
And now he was in the library after closing hours, feeling the shift back into Nobody form again. He shivered; it wasn't pleasant. Though when he shifted back into his normal human form, it was utter relief. He held up a hand and summoned an Illusion. What do you will, my liege?
"Bring me Corbax of the Organization. This issue has to be discussed. But make sure he's not followed. Understood?" The Illusion nodded briefly before disappearing.
It rematerialized in Corbax's room. I come as was commanded of my liege Naxusset. He requests your presence. You may also know him by the name Setsuna...

Corbax had grumbled something. He had finished a mission somewhere that had exhausted him. He turned his head, just about to shoo the Nobody away, but when he saw what was before him, he flinched and furrowed his eyebrows, "You... call me forth for Setsuna..?" he echoed unsure, shifting out of bed, "Uhm... Alright..." he nodded. He had already had himself dressed, so he quickly opened a portal underneath his feet and sank through the ground...
Arriving at Twilight Town, Corbax looked around calmly, but concerned. What was that thing that called him for Setsuna? Corbax made his way to the library, knocking on the door, as it was locked for closing, "Setsuna, I'm here." he called.

Setsuna unlocked the door, opened it, and looked at him, smiling. "Thank goodness you came." He held up his hand and "called" the Illusion back to him. "I call them Illusions, because they're the illusion of human life." It could be noted that Setsuna didn't seem like himself... he seemed like he was a Nobody again, but... only kind of. Like half.
Setsuna looked down at himself. "I find it curious. I can still command Nobodies but I'm not one myself. I figured one of your scientists could help me out... like, what exactly am I?"
