I just nodded. I figured that I should just stay with these kids, because they seem helpful enough.
"..or we're going to be late." Hayner was saying.
I blindly followed him. When I was about to leave the alleyway, I thought I heard someone behind me. I turned to look, but no one was there. It was just the wind. I decided, and quickly caught up with the group.
5 minutes or so later, Roxas and Hayner were about to fight. I had heard enough of the rules to know that this was something called the Struggle Tournament, and that people competed to win. To be quite honest, I wanted Roxas to win, mainly because I liked Hayner the least out of the group. So, of course, I was happy when Roxas won the battle.
The next battle was against someone named Vivi. I had asked Olette who that was, and she explained about Seifer's gang. So, of course, I was again excited when Roxas one.
However, that's when things got.. a bit strange, to say the least. I started to cheer, but stopped when no one else did.
"Hello..?" I said to Pence, waving my hand in his face. "Huh.." I looked on the stage and noticed that Roxas wasn't frozen. I went up to talk.
"Do you know what happened?" I asked him.
Roxas shrugged. "No idea." He replied.
Suddenly, these weird white things appeared out of nowhere. "No those again!" Roxas muttered. A giant key appeared in his hand, and he started to fight.
As for me, I was completely shocked. What the fudge is going on here! I thought to myself. No memory, white things, A GIANT KEY! What's next, a giant white thing boss with my memories and a giant key?
I was right.. sort of. After Roxas defeated the enemies, I noticed a guy with a black cloak on. He started clapping, making Roxas jump and turn.
"Roxas. All right. Fight fight fight." The mysterious figure said. The figure started walking up, and I got ready to fight or run- whatever came first.
"You really don't remember?" The figure continued. "It's me: You know, Axel." With that, he put down his hood, revealing a guy with really spiky and red hair.
Surprisingly, I wasn't the only one left out of his knowledge. "Axel?" Roxas asked, confused.
Axel basically facepalmed. "Talk about blank with a capital 'B'." He muttered. "Man oh man, even the Dusks aren't gonna crack this one."
"Excuse me." I said, surprising everyone, including myself. "But am I the only left out of the conversation? In case you haven't noticed, I'm not frozen either." In my head, I was laughing at my words. I am a complete clown!
Not surprisingly, the two kept ignoring me. The dude in the black- I mean Axel- summoned these two Frisbee type things, and I knew that these could be dangerous. Scratch that- are dangerous.
"Wait a sec, tell me what's going on here!" I yelled.
Of course, Axel still ignored me, and said, "This town is his creation, right? Which means we don't have time for a Q & A." At least he answered me. Sort of.
However, he than said something to Roxas that chilled me to the bone. ""You're coming with me, conscious or not. Then you'll hear the story." He was about to attack, but everything started to get distorted, and he muttered, "Uh oh."
Roxas, just about at his limit, furiously yelled, "What's going ON?" Angered, he threw the giant key on the ground.
"Um.. Roxas, hate to interrupt, but Axel seems like he's going to fight you, and that key seems to be your only weapon.." I started to say. However, I stopped. The key just magically appeared in Roxas's hand again.
"Number 13. Roxas." Axel said. "The Keyblade's chosen one."
So THAT'S what that thing is called. I thought. A Keyblade. Seems fitting. However, there was no more time to chat, because the two started to fight. I ran off the stage, afraid that I would get burned by Axel's fire or hurt in any other way.
Yet from the beginning I knew that Roxas wouldn't stand a chance. I watched as Roxas slowly grew tired. Worried, I needed to do something. Finally, the moment came when Roxas was about to be struck down. I felt something appear in my hand, and without looking I threw it with startling accuracy. Of course, it didn't do much when it hit Axel, but it gave Roxas enough time to get out of Axel's reach. The thing appeared in my hand again, and I realized it was also a Keyblade.
Hmm.. pretty cool. I thought. But I hope that doesn't mean.. Oh, but it did. Axel was now seriously angered, ready to burn someone's head off.
Fortunately and unfortunatly a man appeared out of thin air.
Roxas gasped at the same time as Axel growled, "So it was you." He threw his Frizbee-like things, but they just disappeared into a force field type thing.
"Roxas, this man speaks nonsense!" The new figure said in a deep voice.
"Roxas, don't let him deceive you!" Axel cried.
"Why doesn't someone add, 'Oh, and you too, new Keyblade wielder'." I muttered.
"Roxas!" The figure said.
"Roxas!" Axel said.
Silvex! I thought sarcastically.
Axel and the mysterious dude kept on shouting Roxas's name. It looked like Roxas was getting a headache, so I finally cried, "ENOUGH! HOW ABOUT YOU BOTH JUST SHUT IT ALREADY!"
