Hey guys. New year, new story. Tell me what you think.
The day started of like every other day. Meetings, missions, dinner, then sleep. However, today was very different. Xion, Roxas, Demyx, and Axel were all walking to their own rooms. Axel's room was right around the corner. He waved his friends goodbye and went inside his room. Once he got inside, he hopped on his bed and stared out his window. He wa looking at kingdom hearts, trying to remember somethinng that crossed his mind many times. "I wonder...my old life...my old friends. What was it like?" Axel said as he continued to stare out his window. Suddenly, an announcement was heared through the hall intercoms. "Attention all organization members...dinner is now ready. Report to mess hall immediately." The voice said.
"Hmph...finally." Axel replied.
Axel teleported to the mess hall were he met up with the rest of the organization members. They were all at the table eating. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. All except Axel who just gazed at his plate, thinking about his past life. Suddenly, someone interrupted him from his thoughts. "Hey, Flamer boy. Whats going on with you?" Larxene said, taking her seat next to Axel. he shrugged his shoulders and said nothing back. Larxene pouted and turned away.
"Hmph, fine...don't say anything to me." Larxene mumbled.
"Sorry it's just...I have ALOT on my mind." Axel replied.
"...well...it's ok. Just don't ignore me though, I freakin' hate it when people ignore me." Larxene implied.
Axel smiled at her and turned his direction towards Saix. Axel even remembered the times he and Saix spent together as children. "I wonder if he remembers." Saix mumbled. Later that night when everyone were finished with their food and walked to their room, Axel caught up with Saix.
"You Saix, you got a minute?" Axel asked.
"No Axel. Leave me be." Saix replied rudely.
"I...I just wanted to know...do you remember the time when we were kids...when we were somebody's?"
Saix looked at the ground. "Yes...yes I do Axel. But those days are over...where completely different beings now, beings with power," He explained. He looked back up at Axel and signaled for him to come into his room. "We can control an empire of nobodies to swipe away our enemies." Axel looked at him in a concern way.
"But what about our...our family. I wanna' know. What happened to my family?" Axel questioned.
Saix turned around and gave him a look of despair. Was he...afraid of something? "Get out...get out NOW!" Saix Commanded. Axel was completely baffeled. He had never seen Saix worried about anything before. "GET THE HELL OUT NOW!" Saix was now a complete lunatic. Axel high taled out of there as fast as he could. He wouldn't be getting any answers out of Saix anytime soon. He decided to go to the one place he thought he would never have to set foot in. The Library. He teleported to the opening of the library and opened it. No one was in there.
"Hmmmm...place is empty today." He said.
He looked around on the shelves to find anything that would serve as a clue. Suddenly, he came across one particular book that was different from the rest. "Wait a minute," Axel said. he closely examined the book. "This is Zexion's book...how...how did?" He didn't have time to think. He heard footsteps coming from down the hall. He had to think fast. He hid the book behind his back and waited for the person to enter the room. The door opened and There stood Larxene. The two stared each other down.
"Uh Axel? Wow...I never would have expected you to be in here." Larxene said, crossing her arms.
"Uh...yeah I was just...doing some stuff." Axel replied.
"Oh really?...what are ya' doing"
Larxene started to walk towards Axel. He started to back away slowly. "What cha' got behind your back pyro?" Larxene asked, looking into Axel's eyes.
"uh...Nothing important." Axel replied nervously.
"You know Axel, I'm not afraid to say this but...you have beautiful eyes." Larxene complemented.
Axel's eyed widened, he saw an opening and decided to use. "Hey Larxene look, it's a guy riding a blue computerized light cycle." Axel pointed out.
"WHERE WHERE WHERE!" Larxene yelled.
As soon as Larxene turned her head, Axel was already out the door. he ran so fast that he bumped into Zexion, the one guy he hoped not to see for the whole night. "Ow what the...oh my god. YOU FOUND MY BOOK!" Zexion yelled with glee. Zexion sprang right back up on his feet and grabbed the book. Axel rubbed his head and looked at Zexion in dissapointment. "Ah man Axel, how can I ever repay you?" An idea went off in Axel's head. Maybe there was hope.
"Zexion...I have a favor." Axel said.
"What is it?" Zexion replied.
"You control ove millions of spells. Surely you can help me...find my family?"
"...Uh...Uh Axel I don't think I can...you know."
"ZEXION PLEASE...you have to try...please."
Zexion hesitated for a minute. He then made up his mind. "Axel...I'll try...there is no guarunteeing the search will be successful, but I'll still try." Zexion explained. Axel smiled at him and hugged him.
"Thanks Zexion. Your the best." Axel said and teleported back to his room.
All he had to do was wait. "Can't wait to know the truth...I'm tired of being in this freaking mad house." Axel said to himself.
"You too huh?" Said a voice coming from the doorway
"Woah, Roxas don't scare me like that." Axel replied.
"Sorry. I couldn't help it hehehe"
Roxas walked in and sat down next to Axel, who was watching tv. "Wow Axel, your so lucky to get a tv in your own room. All I have is a freakin' mirror that talks to me." Roxas said.
"I like that mirror." Axel replied.
"Whatever, soooo...why do you hate the organization so much?"
Axel had to think long and hard about this one. There were many reasons why Axel hated the organization. However, only one came to mind. "The organization is full of it. Do you know how many people out there have died out there because of us. The heartless aren't the only one killing off innocent people," He explained. Roxas said nothing. He couldn't say anything. "And those people...they had families just like...just like me. The heartless...the nobodies...we are to blame for this to. And...I know that were not supposed to have hearts and everything but...but...DAMMIT!"
"So what do you want to do Axel? You can't go againts the organization by yourself. It's not possible." Roxas replied.
"I know but...it's just not fair. I can FEEL emotion Roxas. I may not have a heart...but I can still feel." Axel explained.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Axel...Axel are you there? It's me Zexion." Zexion said. Axel got up and walked to the door.
"What do you want now Zexion?" Axel asked.
"I may have found some information...theres good news and bad news." Zexion replied.
Axel immediately opened the door and brought Zexion inside. "You might want to lock the door too Axel." Zexion suggested. Axel did just that. Zexion went over to Axel's desk and dropped a book labeled "Lab 19" book on the surface.
"Okay Zexion, what did you find?" Axel asked.
"Okay guys...take a seat. It's gonna be a long story."Zexion replied.
Axel and Roxas sat on the bed, waiting to listen to Zexions story. "Okay guys do you remember the lab facility in radient garden?" Zexion asked. Both Axel and Roxas shook there heads. "There was...an underground project. Scientists were working on creating their very own hearts. The ones in charge of the project...were your parents Axel. Their names were Ashizu and Maku. Written in the reports...well...whats left of the reports anyway." Axel jumped up.
"What? There's gotta' be more. Come on Zexion." Axel begged.
"Well, there is aditional info here and it's about you and...your sister?" Zexion said, surprised.
"What?...I...I think I have...some memory of her. All I can remember was her name. Kaide was her name. And I also remember...how much I loved her." Axel replied.
Zexion and Roxas didn't say much. All they could do was sit there in silence. "Axel...I should tell you. The reports, the lab, and the project. Xehanort...he was there too. Xemnas was actually there." Zexion reminded.
"So Xemnas knows something then." Axel replied.
"Yeah...I guess so." Zexion replied.
Axel walked out of his room and teleported to the superior Room door. "Okay...this is it. The fate of my family is in...my bosses hands." Axel said. He then opened the doors. Xemnas apperead to be talking to someone. However that someone was only a hologram. Xemnas was furious.
"AXEL! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR INTRUSION!" Xemnas roared.
"Xemnas...I know. You knew my parents didn't you?" Axel asked
Xemnas stood there completely speechless. "The reports. You know about the lab. Hehehe well isn't this interesting." Xemnas said.
"Do you know where they are?" Axel asked.
"Hehehe why yes I do? But you will have to prove your self to me. The Lab 19 book you must have found, the pages are ripped out. Am I correct?" Xemnas said.
"Yeah...I need to find the pages." Axel replied.
"Hehehehehe...good. The turns out that I ripped them out of the book. I have scattered them in many different worlds. Worlds you have not yet seen. If you can find them and put them all together...it will reveal the location of your parents." Xemas explained.
Axel couldn't help but smile. "Thank you Xemnas. I'll look now." Axel replied. However before he could leave, Xemnas stopped him in his tracks.
"Hold it. You do actually know the penalty for interrupting my work and coming into my room unauthorized do you?" Xemnas asked in a sinister low voice.
"No. What is i- AAUUGGHH!" Axel screamed.
Before Axel could even blink, Xemnas struck him in the back with his light sword. Axel was in terrible pain, but it was not over ffor him yet. Xemnas picked him up by his shirt and struck him again, this time in his stomach. Axel immediately blacked out. "I hope this teaches you a lesson Axel. You aren't ready to know...not just yet." Xemnas said. He picked up Axel's motionless body and walked towards a flight of stairs leading down to the other rooms. Without hesitation, he dropped Axel down the flight of stairs. The sounds of him descending with force was enough to wake Larxene from her slumber.
"What the hell is going on now. I swear if Demyx is playing Guitar Hero I'm gonna kill him." She threatened.
She went towards the door and saw Axel lying motionless at her door. "Oh my god, AXEL!" She yelled. Axel didn't reply. She saw that he was bleeding from his head. She helped him up and bought him inside of her room. She carefully helped him onto her bed.
"Axel...Axel are you ok? Oh my god please say something. Please wake up." Larxene pleaded.
Axel opened his eyes and started to breath heavily. "Lar-Larxene?" he said. Larxene ran her fingers through his hair. He could see that a tear ddrop was getting ready to fall down her cheek.
"I'm here Axel. I'm here. Just hang on to my voice. You...you can sleep with me tonight okay." Larxene said, rubbing Axel's cheek.
Axel lazily looked at Larxene. "Thank...you." He managed to say before blacking out again. Larxene smiled and kissed him on his cheek.
"Good night...Axel" Larxene said and slipped into bed with him.
Well there you have it. The new and more dramatic story involving Axel and the whereabouts of his family. It's going to be the best project I'm ever gonna make so enjoy and review.
