"Yeah, Xigbar is there with them," Sora replied to Aeleus and Ienzo with an obvious frown. Xigbar had seemed more than fine with becoming another Xehanort, and trying to torment him in the process...even if things hadn't gone as Xigbar had been expecting. Once that far gone, it didn't seem like Xigbar cared at all about getting his own heart back. "It looked like he was completely on board with Xehanort's plans to me."

Not that Sora didn't believe that Braig could be saved...but that did require Braig to at least try to meet him halfway. How could he not see that it was nuts to just let himself become Xehanort? What would he hope to gain from that?

Anyways, right now it seemed like Isa was the more pressing concern. And right now, it looked like he was having a really hard time processing this. Sora really hated dumping this on him...he couldn't imagine hearing that news about himself, or one of his friends. But if he was here, he had to at least try to encourage him. "Isa, I know you can fight this in the future! You've got friends that are and will be pulling for you...and if you think about them, and rely on them, then you'll come out all right!"

As to Xehanort's first attempt at the X-blade, it was obvious it had fallen through if he had tried this business with thirteen darknesses. "This time, it seems like he's trying to make it work for good. But if it could get broken once, then it can again."
