It really took me time to finish this chapter... It's not too easy to write about fighting and messing together. Anyway, shouldn't spoil too much. Time for the first mission :)

After going through the Dark corridor which Axel created, I find myself from another world again. This place however… I guess I'm somewhere at desert. And that thing, which stands there… Lion's head? Anyway, it looks a little bit like cave. "Where are we?" I ask after Axel has stepped out from Dark corridor and closed it after him.

"That's the Cave of wonders. What do you think?"

"It's… Um… Wonderful?" I say. Axel gives a laugh.

"Really?"

"Well, at least it's huge… About those wonders, what are they?"

"I don't know. Probably all the treasures there are".

"Why there are treasures in a huge cave in the middle of desert?"

"Cadryx, honestly, I don't know. Let's get to work now". I quickly go after him when he steps into cave. I'm crazy enough to find it amusing, walking straight into sand lion's open mouth. Uh… Anyway. We go the stairs down into huge hallway. I stare at huge pillars, and, as Axel said, treasures.

"So, what are we doing in here?" I ask, still glancing around.

"Destroying Heartless".

"Really? Do we have to search for them?"

"No, they usually just appear if we wander around".

"That shouldn't be too hard".

"Well, not that part, but getting rid of them might turn out little more problematic".

"Yay", I mumble.

When we go deeper into cave, we really meet some Heartless. Axel waves his hands and two weapon-looking things appear out of nowhere with flames.

"Cool!" I say when Axel uses them to destroy the Heartless. Could I do that too? I wave my hand.

"Cadryx, did you just..?" Oops. Not that way.

"Sorry", I say and pull the darkness back. But hey – the Heartless are gone! Apparently they disappeared with the darkness.

"Thank you", Axel says sarcastically.

"Hey, what are those?" I ask pointing at his weapons ignoring the last comment.

"Oh, these? Didn't Xemnas tell you about the weapons we can summon? Everyone has different weapon, just like element. These are chakrams. You have some kind weapon probably too".

"Cool!"

"But for now… You probably should try to learn to control your element so you won't shut the lights all the time…"

"You trying to imply something?" I ask crossing my arms.

"Of course not. But anyway, it's your first mission. Might be better if you just watch and try to stay out of troubles".

"Fine, I got the hint. So, where's the next one?"

"Oh boy…" Axel sighs and we continue the wandering. And as told, I keep watching from distance when he does all the job. Well, I'm not complaining. I have time to stare him. I mean him fighting, of course. He's really good. And he looks really hot… Cough, Cadryx, return back to this dimension!

"Yo, Axel, I'm bored. Can't I really do anything else but watch?" I ask after he has destroyed about fifty-sixth Heartless.

"You are here to watch. Do investigation or something, if you're bored. Or try to summon your weapon and fight", he says. I sneer and continue kicking small stones on floor. I recall the flames that appeared at the same time when Axel summoned his weapons. Does it have something to do with element? I focus on the darkness, hoping I won't darken this place again. I glance at Axel, who's fighting again. Then I hear something behind me and spin around. One of the Heartless is approaching me and jumps towards me.

"Hey, get off you perv!" I yelp and wave my hand. Well, this is cool. Huge black bow appears in my hand, and I hit Heartless farther with it. I've always wanted to learn to shoot with bow. Just one thing… Black arrow appears in my free hand. Never mind. I turn around and aim with bow. Then I let go of arrow, it flies through the air with amazing speed and destroys two Heartless at the same time. Axel glances at me over his shoulder. I just stand and stare mouth open.

"Uh… Fight like that?" I ask. Axel stares at me for a while before nodding.

"Like that".

Anyway, it doesn't really change the situation. I still have to stay farther, because I need some time and space to prepare to shoot. Well, I can always use the bow as striking weapon. Ha ha… It might not really be meant to be used like that…

"You're doing good", Axel says.

"Thanks, you too", I say and stylishly stumble on my own feet and crash on Heartless, pushing it over the edge to downer cave.

"What are you doing?" Axel asks.

"Eh, just being a little clumsy", I mumble and pull my hair back from my face.

"Okay then. I think we're done", he says and chakrams disappear. "We can go back to Dark corridor now".

"Okay. Just one thing…"

"Yes?"

"How does this thing disappear?" I ask and wave the bow. Axel glances at me raising eyebrow.

"Just wish for it", he says shrugging. I glance at bow in my hand.

"Disappear?" I ask. It really disappears. "Cool! I'm ready".

We take another route to get out. We are almost at the hallway, when I notice something.

"Hey, do you see that over there?" I ask.

"What?" Axel asks. I go closer and crouch. I stare at thin wire and carefully touch it with my fingers.

"Looks like a tripwire. I thought only Egyptians have these in their tombs. Apparently Arabians have in their caves too. What's the big difference between them anyway?" I say and pull the wire.

"Woah!"

"Did you say something?" I ask and glance over my shoulder. My mouth drops open. "Oh…" I barely manage to hold back the giggle.

"Just that…" Axel mumbles hanging upside down from his leg, "next time when you find tripwire, do not touch it!"

"I'm sorry", I giggle.

"Try to sound that".

"I swear this is the best I can do".

"Try harder or help me down".

"Right. Sorry". Still giggling I summon my bow, aim and shoot the arrow to cut the rope. Axel falls on floor, and arrow disappears after hitting wall. I let bow disappear too and help Axel up.

"Well, I've learnt much today. I've learnt to summon my weapon, use it and also that I must not touch the tripwires anymore", I say.

"Splendid", Axel mumbles.

"I'm sorry, really. But you can't deny it was pretty amusing".

"Maybe to you", Axel says, but smiles. Then we leave the cave and go through the Dark corridor returning to the castle. I'm pretty interested about that how my sisters' first mission went. For some reason I get the feeling that at least Nenjax has messed around pretty much with talent. Hey, if I did, she must have.

.:XV:.

Xainn has already returned and I find her from her room. I jump on her bed next to her and she almost falls on floor.

"Yo! How did it go, sis?" I ask grinning. She shoves me down from bed and takes better position before answering.

"Quite fine, I suppose. I mostly just watched from distance, but I managed to help little with my element".

"So you didn't summon weapon yet?" I ask.

"No…"

"Axel showed me how to do it. It's really cool!"

"How?" Xainn asks. I raise my hand and bow appears out of nowhere. Xainn flinches.

"Wow!"

"I know. You probably could do same too. Didn't Zexion tell about the weapons?"

"No. All he had was that damn book". I start to laugh to her expression. It's just hilarious. "Okay, got it. Well, give it a try". Xainn manages to summon her weapon really fast. Long white staff made of glass appears in her hand. Her eyes widen as she stares at her weapon.

"This looks pretty fragile…"

"Well, test it. Then you'll know for sure", I say cleverly. Xainn sighs.

"Xemnas will kill us…"

"He doesn't have to know", I remark.

"You two are gonna get me killed".

"I know, it keeps me awake at night. Go for it now".

"Fine, but not here. Let's find some other place". She doesn't want to destroy her room? Well, neither would I.

"Okay, okay. But should we wait for Nenjax?" I ask.

"You want to make the catastrophe even bigger?"

"Why not? We gonna cause catastrophe, at least lets cause a real one".

"Fine then. We shall wait for her".

After sister has returned, we've sneaked into practice room. I'm not sure if we are really allowed or not to be here without permission, but… We're already here, right? Besides, we have to practice anyway. I and Xainn summon our weapons.

"You know, we should have some kind practice enemy", Xainn says.

"How about that Dusk thing?" I suggest.

"Maybe…"

"Yaiks!" Nenjax screams.

"What now?" Xainn asks.

"That perv thing!" Nenjax says and points at Dusk, which is approaching her. I turn my bow towards it and let arrow fly. It cuts Dusk in half and disappears after that. Another Dusk appears in room and Xainn hits it with her staff. Dusk stumbles farther and Xainn waves her staff again. And staff breaks. Or not exactly…

Sharp pieces of glass fall from the staff and fly through the room hitting Dusk, and it disappears. Pieces of glass return back to Xainn and connect with staff again.

"Wow", I state.

"Freaky…" Xainn says. Uh… So is the fact that Nenjax is flying pretty close at ceiling again.

"Oh for the love of god", I mumble and raise my bow. It's enough big so Nenjax reaches to grab it and I manage to pull her down. Now she should just find a way to get rid of those wings again, before…

"XIV, XV and XVI!" Yeah, before Xemnas finds us from here.
