It’s a quiet afternoon in Radiant Gardens as Lea takes a break from his keyblade training. He exits Merlin’s house as he begins to wander the streets leaving the “old man” to his magic based work. “Ugh…Nice to finally get out and away from all that. I’ve been stuck inside so long I almost forgot what sun feels like.” He looks up into the sky as the sun beats down on him but as it gets in his eyes he trips over something and crashes to the ground. After being dazed for a second he gets up to see a white puff ball in front of him. He looks at it for a second before the creature speaks to him.
U-uh, Excuse me, kupo? What's your name, kupo?
Lea looked at the small creature confused for a second. Why did it want to know his name? He figured he would just play along. “If you need to know the name is Lea, got it memorized?”
Is that what everyone calls you, kupo?
“Yeah, I have no real nickname.” To point this was true, but after thinking back to his days as an Organization member he was called by Axel, but he didn’t need to spill everything.
That's a great name for a girl, kupo! You... are a girl, aren't you, kupo?
Did he seriously just call him a chick? Maybe the sun was in his eyes. He had better hope the sun was in his eyes. “Does Lea sound like a girl’s name? I’m I guy dude, get your eyes checked."
O-of course! I was just... messing around, kupo! Ahem. Anyway, kupo. Uh. How old are you, kupo?
Ok, it was an odd question but when he thought about it… he didn’t really know. “Huh…guess I lost track. Birthdays aren’t really my thing.”
Really? Everyone lately seems to be strange, kupo... so... no offense...but what species are you, kupo?
Species? Was this thing joking? “Human, next question if you still got any.”
I knew that... It's just this light out here, kupo... my eyes can't focus... what do you look like, kupo?
“So first you thought I was a girl and now you don’t know what I look like though you’re staring right at me?! Talk about blank with a capital B.”
I-interesting...Which world is your home, kupo?
Lea looked around at the familiar town. “Actually, I’m right from around these parts.”
I see... That's an interesting looking weapon, kupo. What do you call it, kupo?
“They’re called chakrams. Got it memorized?”
Cool! Do you know any attacks, kupo?
For Lea this was beginning to sound like a game of 20 questions. This little…whatever it was really wanted to know a lot about him. “Attacks huh? Well what I can do is…”

That's not bad, kupo..! Can you tell me anything about your past, kupo?
Lea took a deep sigh as the ball of fuzz looked up at him. “So you wanna know about my history huh? Hmmm, where to begin with that one? Guess it all started back in a place called Radiant Gardens. I was young wild and yes back then I also had amazing red hair. I had a friend named Isa, we would go everywhere together. Almost like brothers, you couldn't tear the two of us apart. One day we were out pretty late and I ran into this depressed looking kid with blonde hair. He looks like someone who know now. After telling him my name and to memorize it, cause I wanted to leave my impact on the world, we had a quick battle and he won. I totally took it easy on him by the way. Afterwards Isa kept yelling over that is was time to go so we left the kid saying we’d meet up again sometime. Unfortunately that sometime never came. The next part is hazy but I kinda remember a guy with an eye patch, darkness and the next thing I remember I wake up in front of this skyscraper in another world.
It was pretty dark and depressing there, but for someone who had just lost their heart it was home. I remember it being me and 11 others all given numbers. We called ourselves the Organization. They gave us black cloaks and told us our mission goal was to give hearts to all Nobodies, since we were nothing more than empty shells from what I was told. I also remember seeing Isa there. He looked a bit different but there was no mistaking it, it was him. It was him on the outside at least. On the inside he seemed more cold and ruthless, focused on his mission and only what lay in front of him, almost like a zombie. Speaking of zombies that brings us to my favorite one. Number 13, Roxas.
At first the kid was pretty quiet. Not much of a talker but that was fine, means he didn’t argue much. I had to teach him the ropes and that didn’t bug me all that much. We ended up having this connection which I didn’t have with any of the others. Guess he was the only one I liked. We were, as weird as this sounds for a nobody, happy together. Didn't last long however because before I knew it I was shipped off with a couple of the others to a place called Castle Oblivion. Our mission was to use this girl Namine, cute little thing she was, and we had to manipulate the memories of a kid named Sora so he’d join our side. It went well enough until one of our own Vexen said that a world called Twilight Town existed on the other side of Sora’s memories. That’s when it clicked for me. Sora used a keyblade like Roxas, Roxas had been to Twilight Town but Sora didn't remember. Roxas is Sora’s nobody. Knowing that meant if harm came to Sora it would be the same for Roxas so I had to think of something fast. Playing along with Marluxia and Larxene I took out Vexen before he could spill everything to Sora. I had to make sure the kid was safe. Learning from Larxene about their plans to take our the Organization, which Isa had told me about earlier, I set Namine free causing Larxene to chase after her. This ultimately ended up in Sora taking her out. Marluxia not being happy about this blamed me for whatever reason and tried to take me out. I had him on the ropes when he suddenly used Namine as a shield and upon arriving told Sora I was the bad guy. After letting Sora win I ran off and found Zexion on the lower levels trying to persuade Sora’s friend Riku to join us as well. This was allowed however as Isa told me to take out Zexion for knowing too much. It was an easy enough task and before I knew it my work at Castle Oblivion was done so I returned back to work to report.
Upon getting back Roxas was pretty happy to see me and I was surprised to see he had been getting along with another, Xion. Now Xion was a bit different from the rest of us. She could use a keyblade like Roxas but she was just a copy of Sora only used to help us achieve our goal faster. However there was a connection made by her and Roxas, a very close friendship of sorts and before I knew it I was dragged into it at well. It almost felt like me and Isa were hanging out again. Felt like there was a heart again in this old chest. However good times never last, and before I knew it I was getting orders to take out Xion. I brought he back after a fight but ultimately Roxas was the one that had to bring it to an end. Afterwards Roxas fled the Organization and ended up in a fake Twilight Town. I took it upon myself to go after him.
I was able to get inside and talk to Roxas but he had no memory of who I was. I tried to bring him back but I kept being stopped or fought off. Roxas is no slouch in fighting, I’ll say that much. After waiting in low abit and realizing Roxas had gone back to Sora I thought of a plan to get to Sora and possibly get back Roxas. I kidnapped Sora’s friend Kairi knowing the keyblade kid would come to the rescue. However I didn’t plan on the Organization lying in wait like they did. Sora and I got attacked by Dusks and in a last ditch effort I sacrificed myself to protect him. He did remind me of Roxas and I would do anything to protect a friend. He was the only one I liked in the Organization anyway. Last thing I remember from that was me fading away.
And low and behold before I know it I’m right back where I started, Radiant Gardens. I woke up with a few of the other members from that world as I realized we weren’t nobodies anymore. We’re full blown human and back to normal. We looked around for clues for a bit until I got called upon by an old guy named Yensid. He told me there was an emergency with a guy named Xehanort and he needed my help. I agreed and I was taught to wield a keyblade like Sora and Roxas could, except they’re better at it than I am. I can’t get the darn thing to materialize. I helped Riku out with waking up Sora from a deep sleep and that’s where we stand as of right now with my history. But as fun as memory lane has been can we get on with the interview? I got an old wizard who’s probably going to croak any minute waiting on me.”
Hmm... well, could you tell me what kind of person you are, kupo?
Lea figured there couldn’t be much more after all this so he’d just play it out for now. “Well I am pretty relaxed a lay back. I take what I do very seriously and I’m a very good thinker as well. Taking out Larxene and Marluxia shows that I am capable of thinking one step ahead of the others. I guess you can say I’m also very determined. I will get back all the friends I had over this time. I’d do anything to see Roxas and Isa again. I think we’d all be able to get along nice.
I’m fairly easy to get along with as long as you’re on my good side. One doesn’t want to see me when I get seriously. I also fight for my friends. What I had to do just to get at the chance of seeing Roxas again, that was quite a ride I can tell you that. Finally I can also get you out of a tight spot if you need me to. I got Namine away from Marluxia and I saved Sora’s but twice. I think the word is dependable, or something along those lines.
Oh, kupo... Then... what side do you fight for, kupo?
The red headed keyblade trainee remembered back to recent events. “Since I’m now sided with Sora and fighting to get back Isa, I guess that puts me under the light category.”
I don't mean to seem like I'm prying, but what dreams and aspirations do you have, kupo?
Lea just chuckled lightly at the question before he thought for a second. “Ya know, I didn’t always have a heart so before I didn’t even know what happiness was. Can’t say I ever really dreamed. Now that I’m complete however, now that I actually have a heart, I suppose protecting Namine like she asked me to is important, and seeing Isa normal again is the closest thing to a dream I can possibly have.
Ah, that makes sense, kupo... sorta... well, what do you like, kupo?
He would really like for this ball of cotton to go away but he didn’t want to seem like a jerk. Well, I like hangin’ out with Roxas and Xion. We always have a good time talking about work and such. I also like sea salt ice cream. Salty as it is, it’s pretty good.
Me too! Then, what do you dislike, kupo?
He disliked this cotton swap with a stick, but again, that would be mean. I guess you could put that Xehanort guy up there. He has control of Isa from what I saw so I need to get him for that. I also hate this damn keyblade! Stupid thing won’t materialize! >.<
I'll remember that... what's your weakness, kupo?
His weakness was being nice to a piece of talking fluff that won’t leave him alone. “My weakness? Are you trying to off me little guy? Since my element is fire probably water. I’m kind of like Roy Mustang, I can’t do anything in water.”
N-not that I'd ever attempt to use that against you or anything, kupo...! Er... next question! W-what is your strength, kupo?
He wanted to display his strength by kicking this thing over the nearest house, but yet again……he kept his cool. I just told you it’s fire. I use fire so it makes me strong and also my friends. Fighting for them gives me strength. The thought of seeing any of them again give me the strength to go on.”
I never would have guessed, kupo! So, tell me, kupo.. What's the secret password, kupo?
Password? What password?! He didn’t know a freakin’ password! He was just about to walk off when suddenly he remembered something Isa once told him as children. It was a way to get into their hidden spot. “ADMIN BLOCKED.” He don’t know what has made him say it but it’s just what came into his head.
Ah, well I am afraid I must go, kupo. One last question before I do, kupo. How did you find your way here, kupo?
Lea just smiled as he knew it was about to be over but he did know how he ended up back here. “After I faded away, a girl in a white dress told me to come here. Told me I was needed.” With that the small creature smiled and in the next second flew away. “Huh, well my day is officially weird. Time to get back to learning how to call a giant key sword to my hand. Because that’s what normal people do.” The next second he turned right back around and went back into Merlin’s house.
U-uh, Excuse me, kupo? What's your name, kupo?
Lea looked at the small creature confused for a second. Why did it want to know his name? He figured he would just play along. “If you need to know the name is Lea, got it memorized?”
