claimer: ok, to put it bluntly, everything that was not difinitly stated in any of the KingdomHearts trilogy, I OWN IT! including: the132 Organization xiii members i made up, descriptions, the majority of place names and the plot. for example: i do not own the character Axel, but alas, everything that happens to him (besides the fact that he's dead) is my creation and therefore if you copy i might hurt you.
disclamer: pretty much the opposite of my claimer. if it was specifically stated in kh, khcom, or kh2, i don't own it. k? k
enjoy!
Chapter One: Ignition
Axel opened his eyes with a start, his breathing unnaturally shallow and his body weak. He didn't have a clue where he was or how he had gotten there, for just moments ago he had been in the dark corridor fighting alongside Sora and ended up sacrificing his life to save him. There was no way possible for him to still be alive, but there he was, crumpled on the wet, hard ground in a dark alley, the only light coming from the heart shaped moon in the sky and the neon signs that adorned the buildings.
Axel desperately pulled himself up into a sitting position using support from a fire escape ladder; he peered through half open eyes at the moon and the floating fortress next to it, emitting an eerie white glow.
"Kingdom
Hearts?" he whispered hoarsely. The ground rushed up to meet him
as he fainted away...

The Nobody blinked sleepily as he began to stir some hours later. He was no longer in the alley he had first awoken in, but seemingly in a bed somewhere else. It was very comfy and warm and it had a pillow on which his head rested. Without any further movement his eyes surveyed his surroundings- he was in a small dimly lit room, the silhouette of a cloaked figure was visible cross from him.
The figure must have seen him stir as it rose from the chair it had occupied and moved to the bed; Axel could see it far more clearly now. The unknown wore the same type of Organization cloak as he did but that was all he could discern as the majority of its face was obscured by the hood.
"You are Axel, Odoru Hi no Kaze, are you not?" the figure asked softly, its voice slightly raspy yet feminine.
"That depends. Who wants to know?" Axel replied with a smirk.
"Shh... Save your strength. You need to rest." the other Nobody replied, reaching out to smooth his blood red hair back from his temple. Axel sighed with a tiny shrug- no one had smoothed his hair back like that for years and it was kind of nice. Still, it was kind of odd that another member of the Organization was doing it for him, another member that was sure to be male. His insides turned cold at the thought; even if it was Larxene, who was supposed to be dead, he still didn't want that bitch touching him either. His thoughts turned next to Demyx- he knew Demyx's hobbies to include fucking with his mind and playing gay jokes on him and various other members of the Organization. His gut feeling told him that Demyx would be the most likely choice.
"Demyx, I hate you so fucking much right now." Axel sighed, his hand darting out towards the Nobody's throat. "Demyx" melted away just as he lunged. "Damned water clone." he growled before rising to his feet and teleporting to the ground five stories below the window.
The plaza he found himself in was completely empty surrounded by dark buildings, the tallest of which loomed far over head; the front had two sets of stair cases leading up to doors that never opened; near the top the brightly lit jumbotrons played scenes from other realms. But at the very top stood "Demyx", still hooded, silhouetted against Kingdom Hearts in the sky behind him.
With a psychotic smile, Axel summoned his pair of chakrams to his hands and rushed Memory's Skyscraper with all his might, leaving gravity down in the plaza as he sprinted up its length.
"Did you miss me, Demyx?" said Axel, twirling his chakrams in his hands menacingly, "cause I'm about to rip you to pieces!" he hissed, green eyes ablaze as he fired off several balls of flame at the Nobody, but missed as it parried his attack away with an extraordinarily long intertwining silver and black blade.
The red haired Nobody retreated a couple of steps with a startled look, he immediately realized that the hooded unknown was definitely not Demyx, nor in fact, any other member of the Organization for that matter.
However, before he could utter a single word the figure charged, igniting the ground as its sword glided swiftly across it. Axel jumped just in time as it struck at his legs before unleashing a flurry of blows that he barely managed to deflect. The two battled back and forth atop the roof of the skyscraper, Axel playing the defensive until he conjured up a fistful of fire and struck the figure square in the chest, causing it to fly backwards and land in a heap some ten meters away just under the roof's ledge. In a fluid movement Axel was standing above it, prepared to shoot fire if it showed any signs of movement.
A couple moments later the figure stirred, with a tiny groan it began to rise; Axel tensed ready to strike as it looked him dead in the face- in doing so the figure's hood slipped off its head to reveal a young woman of maybe nineteen, no older than Axel himself, her long midnight black hair cascaded down to the small of her back, he tips as white as snow. She was beautiful beyond compare, her long bangs framing her angular face; her grey eyes widened as she narrowly dodged his attack with a roll which, in turn, cause Axel to trip and land right on top of her.
It was an incredibly awkward moment. Axel rose to his hands and knees- he felt his intense connection as they made eye contact, a shiver ran through him.
"Err..." the woman began. Axel blushed, realizing how provocative their position was and backing away hurriedly with a nervous smile as his fingers ran through his red hair. The other Nobody rose to her feet and gave him a satisfied look before vaulting the ledge- Axel stood immediately watching her little flight to the bottom; she landed with feline grace and threw a glance back up the skyscraper- once again he felt that strange feeling course through him.
"Amazing..." he sighed as she took off. "Wait, no... SHOWOFF!"
On impulse he teleported back to the ground and broke into a run in the direction she had went. "Hey, you! Wait!" he called as he sprinted down the narrow street, but she was gone without a trace.
