I walk through the empty, white halls, my dark purple hair swaying back and forth against my shoulders with each step. I see a flash of red hair round the corner a little ways ahead of me and quickly turn into a fly to avoid being flirted with and annoy Axel to death with my buzzing sounds of doom. I start to fly around his head and maneuver around his attempts to swat me down. I let out a giggle once he starts to get really annoyed. A little while longer, and he sets his hands and fire. I quickly turn into a mouse to escape the fireballs he is now shooting and try to scurry off, but he decides to follow me and try to scorch me with his flames. Once I reach the door to my room, I change back to my normal self and slam my door in Axel's face and lock it. He starts banging on my door and yelling for me to let him in. I just smirk and lay back on my bed.
"Just wait 'till Xemnas hears about this Lexlen!" he yells through the door.
"Oh, really? And just what do you expect him to do? Kill me? Ha! I'm his most powerful member! If anything Mansex will kill you for trying to turn me into ashes!" I yell back at him. He hits my door one last time before sighing and walking away. I stare at my white ceiling for a few minutes until the intercom built into my room comes to life with Mansex's voice.
"Lexlen, find Axel and return to the thrones immediately."
"Yes sir." I curtly reply before heading out the door and changing into a dog. I race down the halls following the faint smell of smoke because where ever there's smoke, there's Axel not too far away. The trail leads me to the kitchen where I find Axel wearing pink apron and failing at baking cookies.
"Axel boss wants us at the throne room." I tell him as I watch the smoke billow out of the oven.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just let me finish cooking."
"Axel he wants us there NOW! So put the poor bricks of cookies down, take the apron off, and let's go." I pester while I tug on his arm. He reluctantly puts the tray of burnt cookies down, takes his pink "kiss the cook" apron off, and follows me back to the throne room to see what Mansex wants. We walk through the giant, white double doors and see him already up in his throne, which just happens to be the tallest, with his hood on.
"We have a new potential member. He is at Hollow Bastion at the moment. I want you to go find him and bring him back here. When you get back, I'll give you your next job." He orders in that creepy voice of his.
"Wait, you mean we have to go together?" Axel asks obviously amused.
"Was it not implied?" he answers.
"But Xemnas you can't-," I start only to be interrupted.
"I let you get away with and do a lot of things, but this time I make the ultimate decision and you are going with Axel," he says with finality. I sigh furious and storm out of the room towards my own. Just as I'm about to open my door, Axel steps in front of it and cuts me off.
"Looks like we'll have to learn to get along on this one huh?" He states in a very annoying, amused tone.
"I don't have to get along with anybody! Besides, I work best on my own, so you can go where ever you want while I go get the newbie. I'll make sure to give you half the credit," I offer to try to get him to leave me alone.
"Do you really hate me enough to go against Mansex's direct orders? I mean you NEVER go against him." he asks with a hint of mimicked sadness.
"Listen, I don't like working or hanging out with anybody, so it's not just you. Now move so I can go be mad at Xemnas in peace," I say trying to push him out of the way.
"Fine, but I'm not backing down. I'm going with you and you will have to learn to deal with it. Got it memorized?" he states before walking off. I storm into my room filled with as much anger and hate as I could fake. It's really strange because I've become so good at imitating emotions that at times they seem almost real…
