Me: I love this idea. If you've never read "When Vacations Attack", I suggest you do so. It helps to explain the background a bit. But nothing can truly replace the insanity of my mind!

Seth: Yup! It turns out this was my fault as well. Athexreh owns nothing as I have stolen her homework too.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Demyx glared at his useless partner, dragging an empty bookcase in front of the trembling doors. Trying to ignore the hysterical squalling, he hurried to shove the rest of the room's scarce furniture into the barricade.

"So, tell me again why you decided burning the chocobo would be a good idea," the musician asked, throwing his weight against the barricade as the door creaked.

Axel groaned, holding his head between his hands, "In all the time you've known me, when have I ever had a good idea?"

"True. And you just happened to pick the most violent animal within a hundred miles of us, didn't you? Why not pick a fight with the mighty butterfly instead?" Something slammed against the door, the shudder causing dust to fall from the ceiling, "From what I hear they are more likely to attack without reason than a chocobo is."

"Stupid giant chickens…" Axel muttered, running his hands over the lump on his head.

Demyx bit back a retort, choosing instead to curse his misfortune. It was supposed to be a straightforward mission: locate the newest recruit and see if he was worth the Organization's time. Now he was huddled in a room fending off a crazed bird thirsting for Axel's blood; he had half a mind to open the door and let the chocobo have at it, but how would he explain that to the others? 'Oh, by the way guys, Axel got pecked to death by a chocobo right in front of me and I was on the bird's side'? Well, Vexen would thank him…

"Why couldn't Lilly have come with us," Axel whined.

"Because," the wood door splintered, "aside from the animal pacification, we have no idea what the neophyte can do."

Axel growled, "At the moment I don't find that a good enough reason."

"Why don't you bring that up with Xemnas?"

The red head paled, "Thanks but no thanks. Personally I'd rather be pecked to death by an insane bird; it wouldn't try to drag me back from hell to try to kill me again."

"If you hadn't killed its child, the bird wouldn't be insane. Now, unless you wish to bring about your preferred manner of demise, I kindly suggest you find alternate means of dealing with our current situation."

"Wow. Demy used big words…"

Demyx blinked, "Just how hard did you hit your head?"

Axel grinned stupidly.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Me: And that's all for this part!
