A short, blonde haired woman walked through the halls of Hallow Bastion

A short, blonde haired woman walked through the halls of Hallow Bastion. She wore a long black hooded coat and black leather boots. Larxene's crystal blue eyes glittered as she made her way to the library. A spiky, red haired man stopped her.

"Larxene, Marluxia wants you to find Sephiroth."

"Why? Look, tell him I'm a little busy right now." She huffed. The man smiled.

"Reading a book and raping Namine doesn't count as being busy, Larxene." He said. Axel grinned at the pissed off look he was receiving from Larxene. "He said it's important, so go find him."

"Where do I fuckin' start, Smart Ass?" She growled. Ignoring her, Axel shrugged.

"Don't know." He said. You can always check in Twilight Town; or maybe even Olympus. If you track down Cloud, you find Sephiroth."

"Whatever. I'll be back, but why?" She asked, intrigued but still pissed.

"Don't know. Just told me to pass you the message." He said. Larxene flipped her hair and left, not sparing another word. Axel turned to find Marluxia standing behind him.

"She's going?"

"Yeah. But why do you want to find Sephiroth?" Axel inquired. His own hooded cloak rustled a bit.

"Not Sephiroth, per say. I wish to recruit his daughter." Marluxia said.

"But, what about-"

"Roxas?" Marluxia finished. "He is a nobody, like us…But, for my plan to work, I need a strong, dark heart. Sephiroth is too unpredictable, and is only focused on Cloud Strife. She on the other hand…" he trailed off, chuckling to himself. "She, is the one we need to defeat Sora. Riku will fall as well. Roxas will just become an…insurance policy of sorts. Don't worry Axel, all will fall into place as soon as we get that girl." Marluxia walked off.

"Is she now? I'll have a talk with Sephiroth myself now…" Axel thought aloud.
