'''Chapter 4: The Distant Sound of Waves''' is the fourth chapter in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts II|manga}}'' manga.


==Synopsis==
The front page shows [[Roxas]], [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] lying on the ground, eating [[sea-salt ice cream]].
Roxas follows the girl's instructions, heading towards the Old Mansion. As he heads there, a group of [[Dusk|white creatures]] try to capture him again. While escaping them, he encounters Seifer and his gang. Seifer mocks Roxas, telling him not to "chicken out." The creatures catch up, proceeding to attack Seifer, which Rai fails to fend off. Roxas tries to warn them that normal attacks won't work, only to find time frozen again. Suddenly, Roxas hears a voice; it's the girl from earlier. As Roxas defends himself from the creatures, the Keyblade reappears.


The next thing Roxas knows, he's at an unknown location, standing on a platform that shows an image of Sora. A mysterious beast then appears and states he will tell Roxas what he wants to know. The creature consumes the platform, causing darkness to nearly consume Roxas. Roxas is saved by the girl from before, who introduces herself as Naminé. She asks Roxas if he knows [[Sora|his true name]]. Suddenly, a man appears to prevent Naminé from revealing the truth. Roxas recognizes him as the thief from earlier. The man opens a portal, tossing Roxas in it, and telling Naminé that it is better Roxas does not know the truth.
==Story==
After telling [[Roxas]] to come to the [[Old Mansion]], [[Naminé]] leaves. Roxas runs after her, as [[Pence]] and [[Olette]] begin moving again. Roxas reaches the woods, but is blocked by several [[Dusk]]s. Wishing he had the [[Keyblade]], Roxas runs into [[Seifer]]'s gang. Roxas grabs a [[Struggle Bat]] as the Dusks appear and attack them. The others become frozen, as the Dusks surround Roxas. From a rooftop, Naminé warns him about a Dusk attacking from behind. Roxas holds the Keyblade again, and blocks the Dusk's attack, surrounding him in a bright light.


Roxas wakes up back in Twilight Town, where it's revealed that Seifer took a picture of him while knocked out. Seifer mentions that the creatures are now gone. Suddenly, Hayner, Pence and Olette appear. Hayner gets mad and storms off. Roxas pursues them, explaining how he accidentally ran into Seifer's gang. Changing the subject, Roxas asks how the beach was, learning that they didn't want to go without him. Roxas asks if they can go tomorrow, but Hayner says "I'd promise I'd be somewhere". Roxas soon gains a headache from what he's gone through, and tells his friends that he's going home. He encounters a Struggle poster, and recalls his promise to Hayner.  
Roxas falls on a circular area with an image of [[Sora]] on it. The [[Twilight Thorn]] appears and drowns Roxas in darkness, but Namine's hand pulls him out, into a white room. There, she introduces herself, and asks Roxas if he remembers his true name. Before she can explain, the man in the black coat appears and stops her. Roxas confronts the man about the stolen munny, but the man opens a [[Corridor of Darkness]] and throws Roxas through it.


Meanwhile, DiZ is furious with Naminé for contacting Roxas, and almost revealing something to him. DiZ comments that regardless of the knowledge Roxas might gain, nothing will change his upcoming fate.
As Roxas regains consciousness, he finds [[Fuu]] making a picture of Seifer posing next to Roxas when he was knocked out. Then, [[Hayner]], Pence, and Olette appear, but Hayner angrily storms off upon seeing Roxas. Roxas follows him. In [[The Usual Spot]], the three friends confront Roxas about spending the day with Seifer's gang. When Roxas asks about the beach, they tell him they didn't go without him. When Roxas proposes to go the next day, Hayner tells him he promised to be somewhere. Roxas heads home, and spotting one of the [[Struggle]] tournament posters, remembers his promise to Hayner. [[DiZ]] is mad at Naminé, but the man in the black coat assures him Naminé didn't have time to say anything to Roxas.


The next day marks the beginning of the Struggle tournament. The referee, Biggs, announces that the finalists are Seifer, Vivi, Hayner and Roxas, explaining that the winner gets a Struggle Trophy, plus a chance to take on the defending champion, Setzer. The first round in the tournament is between Roxas and Hayner. The match between the two boys also doubles as an argument for what happened the previous day. Of course, the two settle this, though the match wins in Roxas's favor. Biggs then announces the next round: Seifer vs. Vivi.
The next day, the Struggle tournament starts. Roxas and Hayner face off in the first match. Roxas, still feeling sorry about the day before, refuses to attack, but Hayner tells him he forgot about it already. He claims Pence and Olette were worried about what happened to him, and asks him if he doesn't trust them. Roxas thanks him, and knocks him out with a single hit, winning the match. The man in the black coat visits the pod room where [[Sora]] sleeps. In the tournament, [[Vivi]] easily beats Seifer, who leaves despite still having to fight for third place. As he passes Roxas, he tells him that that was not Vivi.


Meanwhile, the man in black visits Naminé and the pod she is guarding. The man tells her that more and more Nobodies are getting in, though she tells him that "it won't be much longer now." DiZ takes a look at the computer, and claims he isn't fooled by the several Nobodies that have blended in with the computer world.

Story[edit]

After telling Roxas to come to the Old Mansion, Naminé leaves. Roxas runs after her, as Pence and Olette begin moving again. Roxas reaches the woods, but is blocked by several Dusks. Wishing he had the Keyblade, Roxas runs into Seifer's gang. Roxas grabs a Struggle Bat as the Dusks appear and attack them. The others become frozen, as the Dusks surround Roxas. From a rooftop, Naminé warns him about a Dusk attacking from behind. Roxas holds the Keyblade again, and blocks the Dusk's attack, surrounding him in a bright light.

Roxas falls on a circular area with an image of Sora on it. The Twilight Thorn appears and drowns Roxas in darkness, but Namine's hand pulls him out, into a white room. There, she introduces herself, and asks Roxas if he remembers his true name. Before she can explain, the man in the black coat appears and stops her. Roxas confronts the man about the stolen munny, but the man opens a Corridor of Darkness and throws Roxas through it.

As Roxas regains consciousness, he finds Fuu making a picture of Seifer posing next to Roxas when he was knocked out. Then, Hayner, Pence, and Olette appear, but Hayner angrily storms off upon seeing Roxas. Roxas follows him. In The Usual Spot, the three friends confront Roxas about spending the day with Seifer's gang. When Roxas asks about the beach, they tell him they didn't go without him. When Roxas proposes to go the next day, Hayner tells him he promised to be somewhere. Roxas heads home, and spotting one of the Struggle tournament posters, remembers his promise to Hayner. DiZ is mad at Naminé, but the man in the black coat assures him Naminé didn't have time to say anything to Roxas.

The next day, the Struggle tournament starts. Roxas and Hayner face off in the first match. Roxas, still feeling sorry about the day before, refuses to attack, but Hayner tells him he forgot about it already. He claims Pence and Olette were worried about what happened to him, and asks him if he doesn't trust them. Roxas thanks him, and knocks him out with a single hit, winning the match. The man in the black coat visits the pod room where Sora sleeps. In the tournament, Vivi easily beats Seifer, who leaves despite still having to fight for third place.
