"Axel, open the door!" Demyx said as he pounded on Axel's door.
"No! You can't make me!" Axel called from the inside.
"But you have to!"
"No!"
"Axel!"
Demyx pounded harder on the door and, as he was, Marluxia came down the hall, and spotted the disturbance.
"Is he still not coming out?" Marluxia asked.
"No!" Demyx said, "And I tried everything!"
"Did you teleport into his room?"
"Yes."
"And?"
"I had a hard time breathing." Demyx angrily said.
"Headlock?" Marluxia asked.
"Yes!"
Marluxia sighed. "If he doesn't do this, who knows what he'll owe."
"Marly."
"Yes Demyx?"
"There is something I didn't try, but I didn't want to do it."
"If you think it will get him out, do it."
"Okay." Demyx unsurely said.
Demyx stepped back and looked at Axel's door, slightly afraid. He gulped. "I'm gonna die for this." he thought. Demyx threw his arms into the air, and the sound of rushing water could be heard, but not seen.
"Ah! Demyx!" Axel yelled from his room. Axel threw open his door and stomped out. He was drenched and steaming, literally. "Demyx!" he growled, and moved closer to Demyx.
"Axel wait, we can talk about this!" Demyx said, stepping back.
"Why did you flood my room!"
"You wouldn't come out any other way!" Demyx's back hit a wall.
"Then how about I give you a reward for succeeding?" Axel threatened.
Demyx tried to run, but Axel grabbed his hood, and pinned him against the wall, holding his arms behind his back.
"Now I know why you didn't want to do it." Marluxia said.
"Thank you for your sympathy." Demyx struggled to say. "Axel, please, let go."
"No!" Axel replied.
"But we need to leave."
"I already told you! I'm not going!"
"Coward." Marluxia said.
"Who are you calling a coward?" Axel asked.
"You of course." Marluxia answered, "Hiding away in your room and avoiding your loss."
"I shouldn't even be in this situation!" Axel said.
"Then you shouldn't have made that bet."
"No! This one," Axel tightened his grip, "shouldn't have told Xigbar that I got him drunk. Otherwise, Xigbar would have been walking around with a pink eye patch."
"Well, I did, and there's nothing you can do now." Demyx said, "Besides, you're not going alone."
"Like that's any help! You'll only prevent me from escaping!" Axel said.
"Fine, don't do it." Marluxia said.
"Come again?" Axel said.
"I'm not going to force you to do something you don't want to." Marluxia said.
"Thank you for finally understanding." Axel said, releasing his hold on Demyx.
"Ow." Demyx said, rubbing his arms.
"You're welcome." Marluxia said as Axel walked past him, and into his room. "But," Marluxia continued, "I'll have to tell Xigbar about you refusal, and have him in act the proper punishment."
Axel stomped out of his room. "Okay. You win. I'll go." he angrily said.
"Glad to hear you changed your mind." Marluxia said.
"Like I had a choice." Axel crossed his arms.
"Don't worry Axel. This week will fly by quickly." Demyx said.
"More like it will go swimmingly." Marluxia snickered.
"I'm leaving." Axel said, turning back to his room.
"No." Demyx said, latching onto Axel's arm, "You already said you would go. You don't want Xiggy after you, do you?"
"Damn bet." Axel hissed.
"Come, we must depart." Marluxia said, summoning a dark portal and stepping through it.
"I hate this." Axel complained as Demyx pulled him towards the portal. But once he was in front of it, he refused to budge.
"Come on Axel." Demyx said as he pulled on Axel's arm.
"No. You can pull all you want, but I'm not moving." Axel said.
"Then I won't pull." Demyx let go of Axel's arm, moved behind him, and started to push.
"No! Don't make me do this!" Axel said as he was pushed closer to the portal.
"You have to do it."
"I'll give you candy. Lots of candy." Axel bribed.
"Marly already gave me some so I wouldn't accept your bribe."
"Damn it!" Axel shouted before being shoved into the portal, Demyx following.
AN: So now Axel has to go to Atlantica. A pyro in a water world, that will work great. And Demyx and Marluxia tagging along will just sweeten the deal, and the outcomes.
