Project Nobody
Axel was lying on the beach; sunglasses over his bright eyes, letting the heat of the sun beat down on his pale form. He would usually be out on some annoying mission, but for once, thanks to Xemnas and all of the organization continuously bugging him, they were all on a three week vacation. Everybody went their own way, to whatever pace suited them. Axel, no doubt wanting somewhere warm, went to Hawaii. Luckily for the Flurry of Dancing Flames, he was accompanied by Roxas and Demyx , so he wasn't alone on the trip.
The pyromaniac was currently by himself, however, as Demyx and Roxas had gone to explore the town, which Axel of course, hated doing. All he wanted to do was lie on the beach and relax for once. Granted, he was still wearing his uniform, but that was simply because he didn't plan on going into the water. He was a fire person, not a water one.
And he liked it like that. And to boot, nobody was there at the moment, because it was an unusual time of the day to go to the beach.
He sighed contently and closed his eyes, basking in the sun.
…..
"Sir, are you sure about this?" somebody asked their boss through an ear device.
"Of course! This radar doesn't make mistakes! There's bound to be a nobody near your current location!" The boss barked back.
"Okay, sir. I trust you." The flunky told his boss, though he didn't trust him in the least right now.
The lackey had been wandering the whole town all day. Not for no reason though. He worked for an organization that studies nobodies. After all of the research that they'd been doing, they finally reached the point where they needed an actual nobody to progress in their research. The trouble was, there's never been any around for years, until today, if his boss was right. After all the looking he'd been doing all day, and having no luck, he was starting to have second thoughts.
"Now try to get it right this time! He should be on the EAST side of the beach. Not the west, not the north, and not the south." The leader or the organization told him.
"Right." The man replied to him, seeming to go the right way down the beach this time, seeing as his boss didn't scold him.
"Do you see anybody there?" His boss quizzed him.
"Uh..n-no..the beach seems empty, sir."
The leader groaned. His lackeys could be so useless sometimes.
"Wait! There's somebody there!" the worker called through the ear piece, staring at a certain fiery red-head in awe.
His boss looked back to the radar that was in front of him.
"That's him! Go get him, already!" he commanded to his associate.

Axel was enjoying the seemingly endless amount of sun. It was a nice change, from all the darkness and gloominess of The World That Never Was.
"Finally, time alone. No more of that "I am your superior, respect me, number VIII!" crap…" Axel kept reminding himself mentally.
All of a sudden the sun that was beaming down on the pale nobody vanished from its position.
"Is there a storm or something coming?" He asked himself as he sat up and opened his eyes. What he saw wasn't clouds, but in fact, a person. The mysterious object blocking his precious sunlight had been the shadow of the tall figure.
"Can I help you? You're kind of cramping my style." He explained to the man, taking off his shades as he looked up at him.
"Are you a nobody?" The man asked him, his face looking serious.
The chakram-wielder got somewhat confused at that question.
"What the hell? Where did that come from?" He wondered
"Who's asking?" Axel retorted, standing up.
"Answer the question." He snapped back at him.
"Maybe I am. Who knows, really?" the cloak-wearing figure asked a rhetorical question, a devious smirk appearing on his face
There was a moment of silence before the man pulled out a gun and pointed it right at the green-eyed man, causing his facial expression to change from humerous, to worried.
"Whoa! Okay, already. Yeah, I'm a nobody. The name's Axel, got it memorized?"
"Yeah. I'll be sure to remember that in the future." He declared to him.
The lackey then loaded his gun and fired. What he shot at was the remains of a dark mist. He stood there awestruck, before his intended target spoke to him.
"C'mon. You gotta be quicker than that if you want to catch a nobody like me." Axel spoke to the man from behind him.
The tall man turned around, his eyes slightly wider than usual
"You..h-how did you-" The man started
"Do that?" Axel finished his sentence for him "Comes with the job." He explained before portaling to the road and running off from the beach and into town.
"I need backup, he's getting away!" The mystery man called through his device yet again
The pyromaniac didn't know exactly where he was going, or what that man wanted of him, but he knew it wasn't good, and he knew he had to run. He would portal away, but he didn't want to attract anymore unwanted people, or end up in a place where he was surrounded with others like the one chasing him. Normally he would take the risk, but not when he was on vacation, and there wasn't really anybody to come into contact with.
"He's making his way onto Eastern Road! Cut him off there!" The lackey kept ordering through his ear piece, still hot on Axel's trail. Unfortunately for Axel, he heard none of that, and continued down that very street.
The green-eyed, cloak-wearing man was almost off of the road, when a giant truck stopped him in his path, blocking his escape route. A few people got out of the truck, all pointing guns at him.
"Shit! What's going on here?" Axel panicked to himself. They may have blocked off his path, but it didn't stop him from using his powers.
He then focused his attention on the truck, imagining the worst possible. Right after everybody gave him odd stares was then that the truck burst into flames.
"Holy crap. Didn't know I could do that." Axel half-complimented himself.
While everybody was distracted he created a portal for himself, about to walk through it and back to his hotel, but was instead greeted with a sudden sharp pain in his arm, causing him to wince. One of those jerks had shot him!
He turned his bright green eyes to focus on the area of where the pain was, and saw that it wasn't a bullet they had shot him with at all.
It was a dart.
"So what…now they're sedating me like I'm a dumb animal? I'll show them what happens when you mess with a nobody!" He declared mentally
He pulled the dart out of his arm, grinding his teeth together as to not cry out. Axel then turned his around to face the person who had chased him here.
"Y-y'know what?... You're d-dead." Great; he was stuttering now. The serum in the dart must have already taken affect. Didn't he sound threatening.
The pyromaniac summoned his chakrams and aimed at his target. Wait…there was more than one of him now. What was wrong with his vision, and which one was the real one?
The tranquilized pyromaniac weakly threw his chakram in a random direction, before realizing that this wouldn't do him any good. He ran through the portal and managed to end up back in his hotel room before collapsing onto the floor just in front of the bed.
His blurry vision looked over at the portal, and with relief, watched it fade away, before his eyes couldn't stay open any longer and he blacked out.
