Chapter 2: Axel

Thank you tuckeyhunger99 for voting on the last chapter and for favoriting and following too. And thank you to Colours-of-Humans for following and favoriting and to Shiranai Astune for following.

Alright, so we have Axel going to do the challenge this time, let's see how the Flurry of the Dancing Flames faces off with two of his greatest enemies, ice and water, combined! Let's see how it goes down.

Each chapter you get to vote on which Organization member gets to be splashed by a bucket of freezing cold ice water. You can only vote up to one member per chapter and the one with the most votes after each chapter gets to do it next. Your choices are: Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexeaus, Zexion, Saix, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas and Xion.

Enjoy the story!

"Attention everyone, I have decided which one of us we'll be doing the ice bucket challenge." He looked down again and re-read the piece of paper. "And the next one of us who will be doing the ice bucket challenge will be..."

"Axel."

A yelp of surprise and upset came up from the group of black-clad Nobodies. Each of them turned to see their resident pyro steaming, literally, and glaring straight at Xemnas. Roxas and Xion stood on either side of him, backed away not to feel the full effects of the heat he was giving off, but close enough to see the anger of his face.

"I am not doing this." Axel gritted through his teeth. If anyone standing from a far had seen Axel at this moment, with his hair seeming pointier than it was usually and the flickering of sparks all over him, they would have turn tailed and run away. Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne, resident sitar player and hydro, ducked behind on of the burlier Nobodies, away from Axel's sight. Everyone else remained unfazed.

It is not a decision Axel. It is an order," Xemnas said, his deep voice echoing in all their ears. He narrowed his eyes at him till they were just thin, amber discs on his face. Roxas and Xion ducked behind Axel to get away from Xemnas' glare. Axel merely snorted in response.

"And I'm telling you Xemnas, there is no way, no how, that I am dunking a bucket of chilling cold ice water over myself, even if Kingdom Hearts commands it. I've spent too much time working on my hair this morning, and I'm not going to ruin it, just like that," he replied, crossing his arms over his chest.

Xemnas then did something eerily chilling. His body began to glow with an unnatural orange-white light and darkness began to smoke off hos body like tendrils.

"Axel! I will say this only once," he said in an even deeper voice if you can believe. "DO THE CHALLENGE, NOW!"

The command and the freaky appearance did the trick. Axel immediately ran over to Xaldin, took the ice bucket from him, and proceeded to lift it high over his head and dunk the entire thing over him. He let out a pained and surprised yelp as he felt the ice water soak through his clothing and pour down his back to his legs. He threw the bucket as far as he could away and immediately set himself into flames, evaporating the water off and drying him almost completely.

When the fire had died down, the only thing that was off about him was a few of his hair spikes, spread out and frizzed up from the sudden wetting and instant drying treatment. Axel said nothing but snorted and made his way back to the group and towards Roxas and Xion.

With that being done, Xemnas nodded and made his way back over to the glass bowl and reached in again to select another paper with another name on it.

Xion leaned over and whispered into Axel's ear, "I thought that was very brave of you." Axel sighed, but ruffled her hair affectionately.

"Thanks kiddo, but there's nothing fun about having your hair ruined after getting a gallon full of ice water dumped on you after being intimidated by our evil boss to do it," he replied.

"At least you did it early. Now you can watch the rest of the Organization members do it," Roxas added. Axel smiled and reached over to playfully noogied his hair too, making his already bedhead hair look even more messier than before.

Meanwhile, Xemnas had picked up another piece of paper and read the name out loud to everyone.

...

Vote now to decide which member gets dumped next. Just a helpful hint, you can vote the same character as last time and add to there chances of doing it next, and you can vote two characters per chapter. You can also give you ideas for how you think they should do the challenge. I'll see you next time with the next Organization member vict-, I mean contestant.

Sincerely, v.t.7
