Chapter 1
Roxas was running through the white hallways of Castle Oblivion, inhaling and exhaling deeply.
'Shit I have to hurry... I'm soooooo late... Saix will have my heart for breakfast...' he thought rushing to get his black coat on as he ran. He ran into the round room as he looked up he saw all the organization members eyes go straight into his direction. He looked straight down and blushed from embarrassment.
"Number XIII... nice of you to join us." Xemnas said with slight annoyance in his voice. The other organization member laughed all except for one young man with red hair who was just sitting with a slight smirk on his face.
"Sorry..." Roxas muttered as he disappeared then reappeared quickly on his seat. He gave a slight yawn.
"Roxas today you are going to be sent to wonderland we need more recon before we try to eliminate heartless." Saix began "and Axel will be going with you..." Axel looked up.
"I was planning to sleep today." He yelled "after that last mission I'm worn out, c'mon man." He complained giving Saix the look he used to give him when they were children.
"No Axel, you really have to catch up... all you ever do is sleep" Xemnas said reading through some reports "Oh, by the way... Thank you Zexion and Vexen for receiving the reports from Ansem." His eyes lit up at the name. Zexion looked up from his Lexicon and nodded, Vexen just sat with a small smile on his face.
'Man, Zexion and Vexen are so cool... I will never be at their level.' Roxas thought looking upset. Axel looked at him.
"Meeting is over, Axel and Roxas get ready to leave for your mission" Xemnas said still not looking up from his reports, Axel groaned and nodded, Roxas wasn't listening, he was still feeling upset about his lack of power.
"Hey, let's go Roxas." Axel said bringing Roxas back to reality.
"Huh, yeah... Ok" Roxas muttered, disappearing then reappearing again, as he stood waiting for Axel, Zexion walked passed.
"You're doing fine..." Zexion said as he patted Roxas on the shoulder. Roxas looked in his direction before Axel cut in.
"He's just looking out for you, I mean you've progressed a lot and he is happy for you although he never shows it." Axel said with a small smile on his face "by the by, late this morning... That's not like you."
"I know... I was just soooooo tired last night... but not only that... I had that strange dream again... but it was different......... Stranger" Roxas' voice was drifting off.
"Hey, snap out of it, we have a mission remember" Axel yelled, grabbing Roxas on the back of the head and pushing him out the room" Man did you do your hair this morning" Axel asked trying to push his fingers through Roxas' tangled mass of blonde hair.
"No, I didn't have time... plus I'm not obsessed with my hair and don't take 3 hours to do it like you do." Roxas Replied with a small laugh, Axel slapped him on the back of the head. "Ow, what was that for?" Roxas exclaimed rubbing the back of his head.
"What do you think smart-ass...?" Axel said amused, he began laughing loudly, they continued walking until they got to a room where all the other organization members gathered Xigbar walked up to them.
"Sup peeps, what's crackalackin!" He asked with a big smile on his face.
"What's cracka-what?" Roxas and Axel asked in unison Xigbar groaned.
"Oh man you two are so clueless? It means what's happening... Duh!" he said rolling his eyes.
"Xigbar you talk to too many people." Luxord said walking up to them shuffling his cards "Man i feel lucky today" he continued pulling a random card out of the deck. "Wow, look an Ace." He smiled holding up a card.
"Very good... anyway we have a mission Roxas go get ready and I'll be waiting" Axel smiled walking away from the small group. Roxas groaned, as he turned back toward Luxord and Xigbar he gave a small smile.
"Well I have to go, Ladies..." he said walking off half waving back.
"You little bastard..." Xigbar and Luxord yelled out. As Roxas walked he had a grin on his face.
'That was really cool, i can never really think of these things.' he thought as he walked over to the storage containers, he opened his and took out the items he needed. 'Seeing as its recon I won't need much'
"Are you ready for you mission yet?" Saix asked, wandering up to Roxas.
"Uh huh, is Axel?" Roxas asked not taking his eyes off his items.
"Take a look for yourself." Saix replied pointing toward a chair, sprawled over it was a sleeping Axel, Roxas looked and saw Xigbar bringing a cup of warm water over to Axel but Xigbar was giggling and Demyx was standing behind him trying not to laugh.
"Uh oh, this can't be good." Roxas said to himself as the other two Nobodies stuck Axels hand in the cup. 'Crap I gotta wake him up.' Roxas thought. "AXEL WAKE UP!" he yelled.
"Huh?" Axel groaned stirring and sitting up, dazed. He pulled his hand out of the water and gave Xigbar a threatening look. "Dude you are so dead." He growled, and then he yawned. His eyes averted over to Roxas. "Let's go, Roxy."
"Don't call me Roxy." Roxas groaned, Axel stood up and stretched.
"Let's go... the sooner we get this done... the sooner I can sleep." Axel yawned. Roxas gave a small laugh. They left the castle through a black portal to the messed up world of wonderland.
