In the dead of night, on Olympus Coliseum, a pale, full moon overlooks a graveyard. In a plot of land, there is lined the final resting place of heroes. It's here that a young man in a black coat stands before a large stone statue, reading "Here lies the great olympian and hero, Cassus." Soon, another man in a black coat appears out of a dark void.

"Oh...hey." The man says. He takes off his hood, revealing his blazing red hair and green eyes. "So, you been here long?"

"No. Not really." He pulls off his hood, as well. As he does, the moonlight shines on
his light blue hair and golden eyes. An x-shaped scar covers his face. "I see you decided to come, as well."

"Yeah...Certainly has been a long time since we visited his grave, huh?"

"Hm...yes." There was a period of silence for a good while, until one of them broke it. "Axel...do you think...he would be proud of how we've turned out?"

"Sheesh. What's with you? That's certainly not the Sai-X I know." Sai-X gave a smirk at that comment.

"Well, forgive me for being out of character." He replied sarcasticly.

"Hehe...well, if you're serious about that question...I think he'd probably be proud
and horrified at the same time!" Axel chorted.

"Really...how do you figure that?"

"Well...you know how talked when we trained. He was always going on about how we should always strive to be stronger. And I think we turned out pretty good in that regard." Axel chimed.

"Hmph...even so...knowing him, he'd be horrified, knowing how we got to be so strong." Sai-X pointed out.

"Exactly!" The two of them laughed a minute or two, realizing how true their statements were. "Hahaha...ahhh...man. He was one hell of a leader, that Cassus."

"Yes. He certainly was." Sai-X then opened a dark void, and started to enter."Are you coming?"

"Eh. I'll stick around a bit more."

"...As you wish." He walked through the void, dissappearing along with it. Axel stayed a few minutes longer, conversing with the marker.

"Sorry for not visiting sooner. We've been pretty busy, what with number XIII being found and all..." The fire-wielder chatted about his job at the Organization, the people he worked with, and all the things he'd seen, while the stone monument in silence, listening to every word."I'm tellin' ya. You would've loved this place, man."

He stared at the statue a little longer, then remembered something. "Oh! That's right! I brought you something." He took out a small meat bun from his pocket, and placed it in front of the hero's grave. "I know it's not much, but I figured it'd be something you'd like." The statue said nothing, and only stared over the horizon.

The nobody then opened a void leading back to headquarters."Well, I've gotta get going. Xemnas'll probably chew my ass off if I'm gone too long." As he started into the portal, he looked back at the monument, and made one last statement as he vanished into the darkness.

"Happy Father's Day, Pop."
