When I first time saw the scene where Axel sacrificed himself as order to save Sora I cry! And trust me when I say this; it´s really rarely I cry. I liked the scene so much and was so sad of my favors characters death I wrote this! enjoy
What would happen when a Nobody die? I don´t know but I have seen my kind die many times, one of them slated by my own two hands, killed by the fire inside of my no exits being others by the keyblade wielder but only because I betrayed them by letting the girl Naminé go free. It´s funny how quickly things can changes, the first moment you think you´re in control. The next; you find yourself fading into the Darkness.
If I could chose my own death, I WILL die fighting for what I think is right, yeah… a memorial way leaving this world. And I think my time to disappear is very close indeed. I don´t know how he found me or how it succeed Saix so thoroughly kick my ass at I couldn´t bare stand, he probably got the orders but still he let me escape like last time; however his mocking shouting still broke my heart
"What you follow is merely a illusions from something that´s never exited, you´re not more worthy to live than a Dusk!"
Now I sat like a homeless in the Dark city almost fading thank to my so called old friend and not even the local Heartless wouldn´t bother finish me off, does my none existence life sucks or what?
If I should answer that question: YES!
I´m the worst and sadly the best Nobody of them all! The greatest assassin ever!
Man I should been called the Assassin of Deadly Flames instead ha ha, gees I won´t like dyeing like this.
"You´re alright?"
I didn´t even bother checking who it was; already knew who it was. I rose with few problems but there should more than this to kill me, my Somebody could sometimes really be obstinate and of course; so was I.
"I be fine, say Naminé; how far are Sora from this world?"
The blond haired girl named Naminé hugged hers sketchbook tight replying with a shaking voice
"He´s on his way to the Betwixt and Between realm"
Darn! Already? He won´t survive that place. I have to save Roxas somebody!
"Axel, what are you..?"
I smirked to her "Nothing at all, I´m only a Nobody and I can´t never be Somebody"
She smiled faint, remembering I also said that in Castle Oblivion, I turn on my heels and walked toward the Realm Sora was in but before I entered and the portal closed I heard her say: "Maybe someday, when you find him"
Okay.. I had NO idea what she meant but who cares, I´m gonna kill some Nobodies and save the day for the Keyblade master!
You know what about I said before… never mind about that. I´m weaker and there´s more Nobodies than I expected, I tried tell Sora he just should leave me to these dusks and go save Kairi but Sora refused and stayed by my side. I give this kid that; he has the heart the right place. We both fought the Dusks with all our might or at least he did… I´m more death than alive right now and not so much use than I hoped I was, the Nobodies slowly began surround us both and at last me and Sora stood back against back.
This is what I call hopeless "I think I liked it better when they were on my side" I said in a mocking tone, Sora turned to me "Feeling a little… regret?" he asked me a little indifferent.
I smirked to him "Nah, I can handle these punks, watch this!"
I jumped into the middle of the dusks and forced all my power to one powerful blow, I could feel it took my body too but I didn´t care and by a battle cry the explosion annihilated all the Nobodies. I smiled weak of my handy work, my legs gave under me and I fall like a doll on the ground; I´m the only Nobody who could chose the way to die on, see that´s an honor.
"You´re…fading away…" Soras voice… slowly and weak I open my eyes and said with irony "Well, that´s what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. You know what I mean?"
I asked and chuckled "Not that Nobodies actually HAVE beings…right? Anyway, I digress. Go, find Kairi" almost forgot saying this to him, don´t know why but just to lift this "bad" feeling of my shoulders "Oh, almost forgot… sorry for what I did to her"
Makes me wonder, how would HE had done it? Nothing in my memories can gives me the answer, little too bad.
"When we find her, you can tell her that yourself"
Always seeing things on the bright way, I would have laughed off also his stupidity; I won´t ever get up, I´m a goner. "Think I pass. My heart just wouldn´t be in it, you know? Haven´t got one"
I laughed of what I think if the truth, we Nobodies may come from a human and have our humans forms memories, but we have NEVER been them… and never would be, we will just fade in the Darkness and never exist. Nothing would be left, not even a single memory…
"Axel, what were you trying to do?"
Very good question. There could be so many answers, trying regain my heart, being like my old human self? Would been a good way but the truth is… "I wanted to see Roxas."
I could see Sora knew the name but jet not knowing why everyone called him that, I wish I could tell him but I never seen them as the same person. "He…was the only one I liked… he made me feel…like I had a heart"
It was so strange, I felt more human around Roxas, he made me forget I was empty and I think I sometimes acted like… Lea.
The dear full memories about us, sitting on the clock tower, talking and eating ice cream, I even laughed; for real. "It´s kind of… funny…"
I smiled to him, remembering back to Castle oblivion where just after I met Sora I also could laugh real, however I stopped myself back then but I felt back there. Maybe just a little but I felt
"You made me feel the same…" I stopped myself, knowing I was the only one who get him out from this dreadful place, he shouldn´t hear all this, Sora had other thing to worry about "Kairi´s in the castle dungeon. Now go"
By the last strength of my powers I summon a portal to the World That Never Was but then my whole body and mind gave up of the life, I was fading and I wasn´t fighting it.
Darkness took me and everything went black…
"Finally woken up?" don´t know how it happen but here I was, standing beside my best friend up on the clock tower. Roxas jumped surprised over hearing my voice but also happy "Axel"
Long I didn´t say more, still wondering how I DID end up here, maybe it was only a dream… yes just a last dream from a Nobody.
"Nope, maybe you´re going to sleep again, and soon none of us won´t be able talk like this."
Nothing last forever, I told him that and sadly it´s true… when Roxas returns back to Sora he may not be able to remember me anymore, he would be whole with Sora.
"I…" Roxas said hesitated "I´m going back to how I was" he sounds so happy, makes me wonder. I sat down beside him
"I´ve thought about it a lot. Naminé said exactly the same thing" She said to me also in this world she´s going back to who she was, she could feel; just like Roxas. "Roxas… are you really sure you don´t have a heart?"
I finally asked, I want to know before I…
"While I… don´t really have a heart right?"
Roxas turn away from me but said with true words "I don´t know…I can´t just look inside…"
"I guess not…"
Is this block inside my chest what people call disappoints? Guess I am that, so much hoped Roxas knew the answers of these entire questions I had.
Roxas added "But, the heart is not something you can see. I´ve began wondering it´s something you can´t feel either…" "If so, then…"
heh the words of a real keyblade master, he would be a good one if not he was a Nobody.
he trailed off "nah, never mind"
I want to hear even he think it´s stupid "what´re you trying to tell?" I asked him, Roxas looked toward the setting sun with a smile "I´m sure Sora will find the answer. Because he´s me"
I smiled sad of he at last said that, accepted who he was "Yep, that´s true"
I gave him a sea salt ice cream as he took almost immediately, I began eat mine. Roxas sat few moments staring at his before he eat it too. Just like old times… "This really takes me back, do you remember? The day we met, when you got your new name, you and I sat right here, just like this and watched the sunset"
Roxas smiled "Yeah, this is where I come from. My friends… I hope they doing alright…" "You should go and see for yourself, looking for your answers instead just thinking them" I gave him the advise, they were his friends too now… and friends look after each other
"Yeah… so I have to go now"
So this is finally goodbye, already?
"Sora is waiting"
I don´t want this to end but it have to. "Guess he is…" I took a bite of my ice cream and exclaimed "This ice cream sure is salty!"
no sweetness only the salty taste in my mouth. Maybe got Roxas what I meant, maybe he did not. But we both sat in silence for a long time, there was nothing more talk about and the ending was near. We could both feel it and I think it´s better it end this way…
Light began surround Roxas and he said smiling to me "See you again, Axel"
light too began surround me, however I will be brought to a darker place than him "See ya, partner"
Goodbye Roxas
"Finally you came, I´ll been waiting for you"
What? "Who´s there?"
