The Dawning Of The Pirate.
Chapter 1:
"You have got to be kidding." "There is no way I'm…."
"That's Enough! I don't want to hear anymore complaints out of you. I mean it! Now if you don't want to go on the mission you'll have to give me a good reason."
Larxene was glaring daggers at Xemnas and Zexion was looking less than thrilled about the idea, none the less they both remained silent.
"Aw, come on Dudes it's not that bad."
"Xig's right." "I mean what's so bad about going to a place where people are just waiting to beat the crap out of you." The sarcasm was practically dripping from Demyx's words.
Xemnas sighed and turned to Luxord who had been oddly silent throughout everyone's complaints. "Are you sure your friend can be trusted Luxord?"
"Yes, sir. He wouldn't have contacted me if he didn't need our help." Luxord was now standing at the doorway ready to make a run for it if needed. The Organization members could be pretty scary if you got on their bad side and the way Larxene looked right now was enough to make even Saix want to run to the hills.
Demyx, seeing Luxord fidgeting form, suddenly stood up and smiled innocently. "You know what? I think Xig and Lux are right."
"YOU WHAT!?" Zexion and Larxene both looked like they couldn't believe their ears.
Demyx just smiled indignantly. " If we can help Lux's friend then I think we should! You never know when we might need to cash in a favor."
Zexion's eyes were downward and he seemed to be musing the situation over in his head when he sighed in defeat and smiled at Demyx. "When you put it that way, it would most likely benefit us so I suppose I could tolerate Port Royal for a week."
Demyx practically beamed happiness. "Yay! I knew you'd come around Zex!"
Luxord, who had moved closer to the Superior's desk during Dem and Zex's little speech, gave Xigbar a high-five and in return got a little "yes" from the Freeshooter.
Xemnas, whom was watching the little show smiled slightly and cleared his throat. "You still need Larxene to agree before I authorize any missions."
"Please, Larxene. You'd be doing me a big favor! Which would mean I'd owe you big time." Luxord was practically begging Larxene now.
Xigbar just smiled grimly and looked pointedly at Larxene. "Seriously. What if we don't help Lux's friend and something really bad happens to him. Would you be able to live with your self if that happened?"
Larxene, looking partially dejected, sighed and looked away. She then turned her attention to the Gambler of Fate and paused as if trying to figure out how to word something right before starting. "Do we even know if he's in that kind of trouble. I mean what do we know about his 'problem'.
I'm not exactly keen on getting ambushed in a place that is practically surrounded by water, which means no way out."
They all seemed to think over her statement before Zexion spoke.
" Larx, you make a good point but, what your missing is the fact that Demyx would be his strongest around all that water so he could technically help us get away if a getaway was needed."
Demyx smiled self-consciously and blushed slightly while nodding in agreement with Zexion.
"Not to mention I control time so, if anything too bad happens we can start over and come back here to get reinforcements."
Larxene still looked like she was having doubts about the whole thing but she smiled slightly and nodded. "Fine. I'll go with you guys, but only because you're going to need my help and I don't want any of you to return with loss of limb."
They all seemed to silently cheer as they waited for Xemnas to make his final decision.
"Seeing as everyone has finally agreed to go, I don't see why this mission can't be authorized. You'll need to pack tonight and be ready to go in the morning. I suggest you leave around 7:30 to be on the safe side."
"Okie-Dokie"
"Yes sir."
"Gotcha boss man"
"Understood Superior"
"yeah, yeah, yeah.. I got it"
"Alright you're all dismissed."
- A few seconds later -
The rest of the Organization members were waiting for the others in the kitchen/lounge area to find out about the meeting. Xemnas walked in first looking tired but wearing a smile, which was puzzling to some of the members. The next who entered were Xigbar and Luxord, who were chatting eagerly about something. Last came the people that Axel had been waiting for. Larxene looked like she was sort of annoyed, Zexion looked like he was eager to start their mission, and Demyx looked pleased.
Roxas and Namine had walked into the room at about the same time as the others. "Hi Ax. What was that all about guys?"
" Nice of you to join us Rox. I dunno. Why does Lar look like she wants to rip something to shreds?" Axel who was leaning casually on a counter, looked skeptically at Larxene. Larxene just looked at Axel and shrugged.
Demyx and Zexion both smiled. "Larxene's just upset 'cause we all got her to agree to come."
Roxas looked puzzled so he turned to Zexion hoping for an answer. "Where are you going?"
Zexion smirked slightly. "We get to go to Port Royal for a week! Isn't that just wonderful?"
Namine, who had been silently watching the group, chuckled at Zexion's sarcastic and overly preppy words. "It can't be that bad Zex, or you wouldn't have agreed to go now would you?"
Zexion smiled politely then turned to Namine. "You're right Namine, it could be worse. I'm going because I agreed with Demyx."
Upon hearing Zex's response Roxas feigned shock. "You agreed on something with someone other than Xemnas!?"
Zexion rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at Roxas. "Ha ha. Very funny!"
"Forget that. I'm just surprised that Demyx was actually right about something!" Axel looked at Demyx and smirked humorously.
"Hey! Why you got to do that Ax?" Demyx put on a irritated and slightly hurt look. He even sniffled lightly for effect. His face held for about 2 minutes. Then he shrugged and smiled, which is his way of saying 'I forgive you'.
They stayed in the lounge area and talked for awhile before they left to get ready for the mission and to get ready for bed.
- 7:00 a.m. -
"Are you all packed and ready to go?" Xemnas had summoned them at 7: 00 a.m. so they could be ready to leave by 7:30.
Even though they were all tired they still managed to smile and answer Xemnas with a swift "Yes Sir!"
Seeing as it was still relatively early in the morning Xemnas wasn't in the mood to joke around so he just faintly smiled and pressed on. "Ha Ha. Now, Xigbar since you have the highest rank you'll be captain. Luxord, seeing as it's your friend you'll be first mate. The rest of you are the crew. Come up with your positions later." With that being said Xigbar moved to the front of his "crew" and smirked.
"Awesome Dudes! Lets go to Port Royal so we can scope it out a little before we start any fights." He smiled and waited for a response. Demyx, who had woken up greatly in the past minute was now grinning enthusiastically and decided to respond with a
"Lead the way Cap'n!"
With a whoosh and a laugh everyone set off to the Pirating world of Port Royal.
