Chapter 1, AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHH!
Disclaimer: I don't own Monkey Island, Kingdom Hearts, and its characters. I do own the ocs and the ideas.
AN: You're now entering the Anti-slash zone, even though it is a 4/11 fic. Click the friendly back button if this does not suit your fancy.
2nd AN: Commentaries are in bold, unless otherwise.
Roxas: Yep, I and a few friends of mine will take over for Muarry with these commentaries. Since he told us that he has a lot to do.
"!" roars the dreaded undead Capt. LeChuck. The reason for his rage was the fact that two handcuffed prisoners escaped, especially since they escape his fortress, Ft. Grevious Slug, located in the far reaches at the end of the world.
"I need the scientist to commission the construction of my Magnificent Flaming Voodoo Cannon Ball, just to impress the love of my life, Gov. Elaine Marley." Sighs LeChuck. He and his undead crew are in his throne room that was left undamanaged by the explosion. His skeletal minons dash off to get a ship ready to pursue their prisoners.
"I'm stuck in the worst world possible with the worst teacher possible." growls Marluxia. He and Vexen are in a crate being ship off to who-knows-where in the Caribbean, smuggling themselves in a large wooden crate addressed to a Mayor Phatt of Phatt Island. Normally they would teleport to a safer destination, but they got handcuff together, courtesy of Murray. But those two Nobodies get into an argument of where to go that it makes teleporting together unthinkable.
"I wanna murder someone." Vexen mutters, lots of inconceivable things already occurred, first of all they are alive, regardless of being inside a wooden crate which contains voodoo paraphillia. He assumes that they both will die of suffocation. It turns out that this box which does not have any air holes. For some reason they are still alive. Secondly, of all what was the Superior thinking? Yes, both he and Marluxia remember quite vividly of what happen three weeks ago…
-Where Nothing Gathers,
Vexen is in an extremely foul mood. The very arrogance! Xemnas called him (and anyone else) for a meeting of all things. He does not like being pulled away from his genetic engineering and torturing a Vexen Replica – He, the replica, was asking stupid questions.
Marluxia is bored. What's the point of these meetings? If he wants to know what's going on, he'll just ask Axel, Xigbar, and Luxord; but if he really wants to know the politics and the inner workings, it will be Lexaeus that will know.
Lexaeus Ishimoto. Number V, the Silent Hero. He's most of the neophytes' psychiatrist, teacher, and sort of a big brother to them. The reason why most of them hang out or even seek out the quiet senior founder was because he listens to them and takes their concerns seriously. If it weren't for Lexaeus, half of the Nobody neophytes would have left on day one. The only time when the neophytes teleport away was when Lexaeus needs a specimen to experiment on, especially when his friends, Vexen and Zexion, are involved. Speaking of Lexaeus, he and Luxord are on a mission.
"Who will go to the Melee Island world? If no one speaks, I will choose someone and send a partner with them." Xemnas smiles knowingly. They all hate it when he pairs them up with a partner and sends them to a world. Usually it's with someone they dislike.
"Superior!" Vexen Adachi whines. He brings out a list that extends down to his throne. "I purposed that we go to Port Royale instead, since it is filled with both the hearts and heartless specimens that I want to experiment on. Rumor also has it that it is just the same as the Melee Island world – Except not as colorful or…er… 'Cartoony.' In addition, I want to investigate an undead pirate to see how it remains alive or is it a special breed of Nobody."
Xemnas glares at Vexen. The illustrious leader hates it when anyone – Founder or neophyte – interrupts his speech that is seven minutes long, or more, but is informative nonetheless.
Everyone vanishes into the dark corridors. They know that Vexen is going to get it and they don't want to get sent on whatever punishment mission that Xemnas will assign the Chilly Academic to.
A few minutes later, Marluxia Kaya approaches Xemnas, in his office. "What's the importance of Melee Island, Superior? If both that world and this Port Royale are alike what's the point of going to either one, should we be harvesting the hearts in one place more frequently?" The Graceful Assassin read the reports of Lexaeus and Demyx. Both consists of parch lips, lack of food, evil monkeys, and the like, except the Melodious Nocturne sounds as though he was trap in a desert with everlasting sand dunes, and the several paragraphs which makes Lexaeus sound like a beef platter with vegetables on the side, well…makes Marluxia doubts the sitarist's sanity.
"Thank you for volunteering, Eleven. I had a most trying time finding volunteers for the expedition. Of course, I cannot doubt Number Four's claim for scientific possibilities. But the reason why I pick the Melee Island world was there is a fantastic beast to conduct experimentation on. It is the legendary Three-Headed monkey. There will be more information on this beast, which is a native of this world, on your mission field notes."
"And Port Royale does not contain a cousin for it."
"Precisely, Eleven." Marluxia does not like being preferred to as a number when they went to all that trouble to anagram his name. It makes him feel unimportant, inferior, and shows the cruel 'I don't care about you' emotionless way of addressing another by the senior members' part. Lexaeus calls them by number during a new guy's first few weeks, but the only one who calls them all by numbers is Xemnas. Not even the other five senior members do that.
4/11
"Precisely, Eleven, my foot." Marluxia growls softly, Vexen rolls his eyes. He may not see Marluxia, but he can guess how the younger neophyte is feeling right now. "Next time, Xemnas is coming to get stranded here and let's see how he likes it."
3rd AN: Credits for Princess of Rose for beta-ing it.
Letting readers know that since I have schoolwork, it'll take a long time for me to update the next chapters…It also depends on how long my homework is. However enjoy. :D
